SPEAKER_00:Everyone feels the same way you do. Alright? What do you do right now?
SPEAKER_06:Why do they need to go with 400? Do I look like a hundred fucking 10 houses?
SPEAKER_05:You do look like a C Planet. You do look like a C planet. Okay.
SPEAKER_02:Welcome to the Average Superior podcast, episode number 72, I believe. Ish. 72. I think it's 72.
unknown:I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:Cool. 72. Uh today we are just chilling, sipping some coffee. We got some pellegrino water because uh bougie like that. Is that a is that a good word? Bougie? Bougie water. What's a bottle like that? Go for. Like three dollars. Oh my god. Uh Tony. Wow. Tony is back on the podcast. Jesse's back.
SPEAKER_04:Shady's back. Back again. Tell a friend.
SPEAKER_06:So there is a very good chance that there'll be underage people listening to this podcast then. Indeed. Okay. We'll keep it.
SPEAKER_02:Keep it, PG. No, we won't. You know that we won't. You're gonna say that, and then you're gonna be the first one to throw something stupid.
SPEAKER_06:Can you stop filling it up so we can have the other drinks? He's got other drinks for us to drink. Oh, that's fine.
SPEAKER_02:Stop filling your glass with water. Did you just come in here and disrespect us like that? So let me ask you a hypothetical question.
SPEAKER_06:Not the one from today. Who's you? No. Okay.
SPEAKER_02:No, it's not the one from today. However, if you walked into an office uh to like have a conversation about something, and like you had some stuff on your mind, right? But you so you walk into an office and you sit down and you're trying to have a discussion, or some people are trying to talk to you about some important decision to be made, and like your phone just won't leave your hand because you just like have to text so quickly and so violently, and you're texting and you're like not really listening. He's throwing darts, he's throwing darts. So, like, if you like if you got stuff in your mind, that's that's I get that, right? Do you think that the options maybe were like, hey guys, I gotta give me five minutes, I'll be back, or like maybe put the phone down and okay, I'm here.
SPEAKER_06:Just just to go off his I I believe the decision that was being made was not as monumentous as he is describing. So just think of a lesser decision, but then the same exact situation happened.
SPEAKER_02:I'm just saying a conversation was trying to be a conversation. Yeah, there was there was a conversation where you somebody, sorry, somebody, uh, was supposed to be a part of It was me.
SPEAKER_06:Uh and then it just there was two two people literally looking at him like he's texting, and he his head was down just and I and I believe I even said something like I'm with you guys, or like I he wasn't I'm listening, or something like that. And I was not. He was violently texting.
SPEAKER_05:Does it fall solely on him, or does it fall on the other participants of the conversation to say, Jason, I can tell you, busy. They did. Would you like a minute?
SPEAKER_03:Well, no, after we looked at each other and be like, are we not here? Yeah, it was bad. It was it was terrible.
SPEAKER_02:I I looked over at Tony and I was like, what's going on right now? And I said that's what I said. I said, hey man, listen, looks like you got some things going on. Why don't you get the fuck out of our office? Like you pretty good. Are you with us or not?
SPEAKER_06:Like, it's okay, like if you're not, but like I was it important, but neither the importance of our conversation, my conversation with these two, nor the importance of my text messaging merited that behavior.
SPEAKER_05:So it was on- Did you recognize that?
SPEAKER_06:Well, I recognize it now. I didn't recognize it in the moment. I you ever get in that? You're just in it, and you're just like, I hate that. I hate that.
SPEAKER_03:Like when you're in a room with somebody, yeah, the the person on the other line of the text doesn't know that you're like that you're not immediately responding. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:So you can take that breath and put the phone down and finish this conversation because one of my one of my bigger pet peeves, though, on the other end of that is when you're texting somebody, and let's say you and I have an exchange of like four text messages back and forth, and it is bam, bam, bam. Like we're like we're having a conversation essentially, and then I'll throw a question and then it just stops. Sure.
SPEAKER_05:For some reason, I don't like that. That's not a conversation. Could you imagine if an in-person conversation is for that? Hey.
SPEAKER_06:Hey. Oh, no, and that's another thing. Starting a text message off with somebody you talk to a lot of times. Are you free for a couple within five minutes? Are you free for a call in five minutes? And when did that happen? When did that happen that we have to text people to call the bottom? Oh, that drive that one drugs.
SPEAKER_03:It's a nice courtesy. It's fuck that. It's a courtesy. The phone ringing is a signal. Yeah, I agree. Because you don't have to answer it.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, it has changed.
SPEAKER_03:That's a lot though. Are you good for a call? Like I I often send that to people. Just call me. I do not good at all. I do that too, but I hate doing it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, that's a good point. I know you're priming because you don't want to call and then not have the phone answered. It's not because you're doing it courteously, it's because you don't want to call and have it go to voicemail.
SPEAKER_03:I never thought of it that way. 100%. 100 P. Oh. But but just to go back to your point.
SPEAKER_02:Drink. Sorry, we're drinking at the 100 Ps today. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. How many handy Ps? Uh go back to your point. Yeah. If you and I are engaged in a conversation, a text conversation. Yes. Yeah. And then I'm waiting for a response, and then I don't get one from you, I would immediately think, like, oh, something like something's come up. He's busy. He's busy, right? Yeah. So I that like I would be understanding of that versus like if I'm in a room with you and we're in a conversation and then you direct your attention away from me and under the phone, it's like it makes you feel worse in person. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:I did that to you guys today, and and I don't feel bad, but I'm not gonna but I'm not gonna do it again. Like I know that that I fucked up. You know what I mean? You'll do it again. Because I know it doesn't bother you guys too much, but I appreciate the fact of calling me out on it in person at the time. And then now that's fine. Yeah, it's a lesson learned.
SPEAKER_05:I was just thinking about it. I try and be mindful not to even have my hand, my phone in my hand when I talk to people, because it is a barrier, or even on the table, as I've learned.
SPEAKER_06:That is also where's that from? Oh, uh the one guy who doesn't have his phone on the table.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, because it shows that that it was like a TED talk or something, and it said like if the phone is even on the table, it tells the person that that there's a possibility this is more important than you. So if the phone is off the table, away, then it lets those people know that they they have your undivided attention.
SPEAKER_05:I think we watched the same TED Talk. I think so.
SPEAKER_02:I have also heard the say exact thing, so I can't think of what it was. Was his name Simon? Simon Sinek.
SPEAKER_06:Simon Sinek. I feel like that's something he would say. Leaders eat last. I'm kind of I'm watching a lot of him. He's good. Yeah. What does he do again? He talks.
SPEAKER_02:I it's a motive, like not a motivational. But like, do you know what his back? Hey, I wonder if this is what is his background? Like, why is he who he is? Like, why is he the guy that people listen to when it comes to leadership? Do we know? We don't. Okay. I don't know. But we are gonna know.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, we will find out right now as it's processing.
unknown:Interesting.
SPEAKER_06:Using dial up. No, I'm using your internet and grok. He's a motivational speaker. Okay. That's literally about it. It goes to do his thing, but New York advertising agency. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:To be fair, if you say enough things he wanna hear, you just can build a career up.
SPEAKER_06:He started a leadership thing back in like 2009 and just grown into this, so he literally has done this.
SPEAKER_03:You you say a lot of things, some of which are right.
SPEAKER_05:You said a lot of things, one of them was correct.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Possibly the best insult of 2025.
SPEAKER_03:The unintentional insult.
SPEAKER_05:Sadly, he'll never listen to this on the podcast. Can we talk about our monthly challenge?
SPEAKER_02:The one that I've failed already? Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_06:But you can still you're still doing it though, right? Because I am, but I also owe 50 bucks. Yeah, I uh but I but I kept doing it the next day. I thought we were just doing it and then the 50s.
SPEAKER_05:Do you remember what day we started?
SPEAKER_02:Uh no. Okay, I I can look at it. It was uh second, not last podcast, but the one before that. Uh so our challenge, if you don't remember, because I'm sure you do, because you listen to every episode, but our challenge was I that I brought up and then immediately failed, was that every single day of the month for the next 30 days we were going to pick something that we knew we should be doing, but we don't make the time for. Uh something didn't that like helped us in whatever mental health, uh regular like wellness, whatever the thing is. I chose breath work, you chose meditation, and you chose stretching. Stretching.
SPEAKER_03:Uh so the idea was just just uh I heard all three of those and I immediately said all of them will fail. Okay.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, that's cool.
SPEAKER_06:Confidence is in your friends, is a really good thing to have.
SPEAKER_02:Uh so I did immediately fail. And uh you lasted a little while.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I I did, but then uh about a week ago we were camping. I'm just I I missed the day. Okay. So that's not me.
SPEAKER_02:And it sounds like it looks like CJ is uh has been a good thing.
SPEAKER_06:No, no, but you do it the next day. So you pay 50 bucks and you keep doing it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So but you didn't quit, you just didn't miss one day and kept on going?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I thought I thought that's what we were doing. Makes sense.
SPEAKER_05:I think that's that was the intention, but you are still paying. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I'm still going. Good. Till the 25th is our day. We're almost there. It's the 16th. And at the time when the 25th comes, I want to restart this because it has been really good for me. Okay, I'll be right back.
SPEAKER_06:Is this the meditation thing?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, and so here's the thing. So hey, what's the thing? Here's the thing. Thank you. Here's the deal. Tell me the deal. Three days ago, I paired meditation with breathwork. Which I've done for the last three days. Wow. Dude, it's game changing. Game changing. Go on. It feels like it might be the novelty of it, but meditating for 15 minutes and then doing 10 minutes of breath work at the end of it, it feels like I'm sitting in a warm pond with like, did you wait? So did you feed yourself?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, so you didn't pair them at the same time. You just like one after the other.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, stacked them. Yeah, that's different. You said pair. So I thought you were concurrently, or I thought you were breathing as meditatively. Is it concurrent or consecutive?
SPEAKER_05:Well, I would argue that breath work is that. That's kind of what I would think too. Totally.
SPEAKER_02:Because like you're really focusing on the thing. So your focus of the breath is kind of meditative. So you meditate, then do breath work.
SPEAKER_05:And I think now that I've done it and I've been like whole, like it's to the point where I was like, holy shit, this is incredible. Uh, I'm gonna keep doing that, which is fun. But it's I I had somebody at work today, they and like, yeah, we all wear a heart on our sleeves at times, and sometimes when people are like, hey dude, is everything okay? And sometimes it's not, but he was like, Hey man, is everything okay? And I was like, Yeah, everything's really good. Why? He's like, You've just been really quiet, and I was like, Yeah, bro, because I've been like locked in. Locked in. Like, I've been really good.
SPEAKER_02:So are you doing like the 30 like inhales, exhales, with yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, uh, but it's interesting because it just has I have noticed in the last four days, again, could be the novelty of it, a huge difference. It's just in my like mental flow.
SPEAKER_03:Good. So why do you think that is?
SPEAKER_04:Uh probably.
SPEAKER_03:Like what it was it that you're at the end of this combination, you feel like a piece of some sort?
SPEAKER_05:I feel more clarity, more focus, and then like the waves, the peaks and valleys are so much lower, just in like my general emotional ripples. So you just carry that through the day. Yeah, and it has been carrying through the day. It's been really cool.
SPEAKER_03:Do you do it have you first thing in the morning? And have you tried doing it other than first thing in the morning, like midday?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I on the days, so the reason I'm still going is because there's some days where it's like nighttime and right before bed I'll be like, Okay, I gotta get it in. Uh those day and those days I noticed my day is a little bit more choppy. So first thing in the morning, I get up at the time. Do you sleep better? Do you think though? I haven't noticed that. Uh especially actually I've noticed maybe the opposite meditating before bed. I don't know why.
SPEAKER_02:I think the breath art before bed would be good. I feel like that would help you sleep.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, but it's it's has become a very large staple of my morning routine. And I've done I've done it for other like other months, I've had periods of doing it consistently, but getting up at like 4 30 and just taking half an hour. And and the other thing I've been like not even looking at my phone for the first half hour of the day. Like shut the alarm off. Don't even because you'd always you know, you get up and you just uh game changing. I'm hoping it stays game changing, but thus far, game changing.
SPEAKER_02:I I've been like the I get up at 4 45, but I usually I sock it in the morning right now. I've just been like getting my stuff ready for the day, kind of wandering, getting a coffee, having a water, just but like, and then yeah, grabbing my phone and just kind of like I could be a lot more focused and directed and have time for that, but I've been just like dragging my feet and then not making time for it.
SPEAKER_05:Well, and we all have, and my the thing that's gonna happen is I'm gonna say this is great, and it's it's like paying dividends, and then I'm gonna stop doing it because I'm a human being. Yeah, 100p. 100p. So, with that being said, as I intend to continue this on after the 25th of July, yeah. What's our next thing? Okay, well, think about it. Because this has been really good. This has cemented a habit that I wanted, I think. I still need to cement my habit.
SPEAKER_02:Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Maybe I'll try the meditation.
SPEAKER_02:So maybe just do another thing.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, just do another thing for 30 days. And then the 50 bucks. You both hold the pot 50 bucks. I do, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:And we can just keep adding to the pot. Yeah. You're welcome to join the July to August pot.
unknown:Oh bass, thank you.
SPEAKER_05:Okay. You should. That suck. Why wouldn't you join us? Why wouldn't you want to get better? Because I suck.
SPEAKER_03:I will literally fail immediately. With that, I agree.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that's fine. Uh what could you what could you do? What are you what are you pouring us over here?
SPEAKER_06:Japanese.
SPEAKER_02:Is it a Picari sweat?
SPEAKER_06:It's a Picari sweat.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, that's amazing. How'd you yeah? That's like Japanese Gatorade. Oh, really? Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:That's what it was pitched to me as.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, really? Yeah. Where did you get it from? Uh Umami?
SPEAKER_05:Oh yeah. What does that say?
SPEAKER_03:Picari sweat.
SPEAKER_06:No, that's that's what the English says. It's a little milder. So what do you do? You just sit there?
SPEAKER_05:Like I like that. I don't do you do you use an app? I use guided meditation most days, but right now it's starting to get annoying a little bit. So some days I just sit there. Okay. And you just pick something to focus on. Usually it's your breath, or it could be like the tingling in your fingers or the sound in the background. And then as your brain deviates from that thing, you just need to catch yourself and bring yourself back. Starting to do that.
SPEAKER_03:Why do you bring yourself back?
SPEAKER_04:All the time.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I I stri I think that I like the idea of a guided one because my brain on my own just wanders and then I'm lost.
SPEAKER_05:Can I share you my three my free 30-day Calm Pass? Oh, say no. I have that up. But do you pay for it? Yes. And you don't use it.
SPEAKER_03:I do use it.
SPEAKER_05:Or use it for the deep house in the background.
SPEAKER_03:I use it for lo-fi. Lo-fi beats.
SPEAKER_05:Lo-fi beats. Why would you not try? Why would you not join our competition? Because I I'm not good at it. I'm not good at competition.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, but you don't know what the thing is yet. We can you can pick the thing that's you're good at it.
SPEAKER_03:What habit do you want to cement in the next 30 days? Just living life. I'm not getting lost every day. Just putting one point for you.
SPEAKER_05:Meditation will probably help with that. Can you just meditate for the next 30 days? Can I pick for you? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:There you go. If you already have a comp, then it's actually pretty easy.
SPEAKER_05:There's a daily meditation that's nine to twelve minutes usually. Okay.
SPEAKER_03:And just start with that. Can I my struggle would be is like I could do it at the end of the day, but probably not at the beginning of the day.
SPEAKER_05:You're telling me you can't get up 15 minutes earlier than you're currently getting up?
SPEAKER_03:Yes. The dude sleeps like five hours a night. I barely can get up to get it to work on time.
SPEAKER_05:He's got that weird sleep schedule thing.
SPEAKER_03:What time do you go to bed? Uh actually, right now I'm pretty consistent around 11. That's fine. Oh, that's late. What are you doing?
SPEAKER_06:That maybe we're like that is an hour earlier than my usual. Do you get that same feeling? Like, you know, when you're like in bed and you look at the clock and it's like 10:30 and you're like, you get mad.
SPEAKER_05:Shit. Yeah, I know. Running out of time.
SPEAKER_06:11 o'clock. That's when you go into bed.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
unknown:Oh.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, so you're probably not sleeping until midnight.
SPEAKER_03:No, I I and I've become become much better at falling asleep faster. Like I would say within 15 minutes. So my whoop tells me. You're the only person still using that thing, hey?
SPEAKER_02:Are you guys you guys off the whoop? Uh I might get back on the whoop. They got a new one. They got a new one. We watched the advertising video. We watched the advertising video the other day, and I was like, oh no, I might need one again. Oh no.
SPEAKER_03:They got a medical grade one. Oh.
SPEAKER_05:It does cool stuff. What do you do for the first 30 minutes of your day?
SPEAKER_03:Run out the door. I like pre-pack everything the night before so that I can get up as late as possible. And then I get up, have my bags packed, grab my bag, go downstairs, coffee, out the door. That's like from the time that I wake up, my eyes open, to the time that I walk into the office, it's like 28 minutes. No wonder you're a spilled bottle of fuck. Yeah. All over the place. What time do you get up in the morning? Uh five.
SPEAKER_05:So you walk in at 5 30.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. No. Later. No. 5 30-ish.
SPEAKER_02:No, like lately it's been like we're usually working out by 6 these days.

SPEAKER_05:But can you go to bed at 10:30? I would love to. Okay, well then do it.
SPEAKER_03:Have you tried to go to bed early?
SPEAKER_06:Do you try every night?
SPEAKER_03:No, it's not that I don't want to, so I can't because I'm like making lunch, cleaning, doing dishes. What happens between seven? Like supper's over? So much. Okay. I don't eat, I don't sometimes I don't get like like last week twice. I didn't eat dinner till nine o'clock. But is that is that because of the kids though? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:You're just gonna be him standing still doing nothing. Just gonna be staring at a corner.
SPEAKER_06:Wait, wait a minute. Do you wash dishes like the way you eat your food? Yeah, your dishes would take like five times as long as everyone else.
SPEAKER_03:It takes me, if they're brought to my attention, it takes me longer to do everything. Why don't you get your kids to do your kids are old enough to do dishes? Oh, yeah. Because they don't do it good enough. Who cares?
SPEAKER_06:You seem to have a nice-ish house. Do you have a dishwasher? Yeah. Okay, well then just like put them in there. Like um.

SPEAKER_05:She keeps selling stock positions and I'm losing it on my commission on every sale. Like I can't afford this.
SPEAKER_02:That's why I switched to Quest Trade. Commission free.
SPEAKER_05:Hey, so what are you doing for your next 30 days? Don't get me off track here. I don't have an answer for you right now.
SPEAKER_02:I have to think about it. Okay, well, think about it. Okay, thinking about it. I still don't have it.
SPEAKER_06:We're gonna start until the 25th. Yeah, I got like a week. Right?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, but I want you I just want to get excited about you guys being better human beings.
SPEAKER_06:Well, what are you gonna do? No idea. You can't meditate. You can't do the same thing twice. Well, I'm gonna keep doing it. Yeah, but then you can't do something else, though.
SPEAKER_05:You can't like I was thinking something like diet. Okay. Like no sugar. Like literally no sugar. Yeah, it sounds like a lot of fun. Sounds like a lot of fun for my body. Not your mouth. Does it? I think so. Yeah, I guess. Or you could lease me your cold plunge and I go coal plunge for 30 days. What are we doing with that? I filled it back. I I've cleaned it out and filled it up again.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah. Step one, step one. No, I then I it's clean. It's it's clean. Step one.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Donate it to the nursing home.
SPEAKER_02:No. That'd be gross. What would you do? Donate it too.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, no, that would be. Donate it to the trauma team.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, maybe this, maybe, but even that, no, because then there's a couple of guys there that are disgusting. Yeah, but it's got a filter. Not enough. Who do you trust that from our from our job? Like, who do you trust to actually like clean themselves before they would get in it? Drew.
SPEAKER_06:No one.
SPEAKER_02:There's a couple guys I trust.
SPEAKER_06:Drew and Tony.
SPEAKER_05:I would literally step into that thing right after Graph. Of course you would. Clothing and all.
SPEAKER_06:I'd step in it right after right after Drew.
SPEAKER_03:Did you see Ben Askren? Oh, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. But you know what that started with a staph infection. Seriously? Yeah. Double lung transplant. Ooh, that's scary. Super scary. Super scary.
SPEAKER_05:What kind of staff? Like a skin staph infection? I don't know. Probably murder.
SPEAKER_03:I actually heard it on another podcast, but there was a lot of things. Did they get a thing in his throat? No. Oh yeah, no, he did have something in his skin. He had like a tube coming out of his throat. Yeah, he did. He's like, what the hell? Is this a staph infection? No, he ended up getting like pneumonia. I don't even know. I don't know. Look it up.
SPEAKER_06:Look it up, dog. Oh, it's giving me a very long history of who he is, because I did it as soon as you guys did his name.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. He looked like death anyway. Yeah. Double lung transplant sounds serious. Yeah, we're not good.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah? Yeah, it just takes the time because they gotta like populate all the things. Yeah, severe pneumonia uh stemming from a staph infection. Deteriorating rapidly. Oh no. He's on a ventilator?
SPEAKER_03:I think he like died. He says he died a few times while he was on the operating table. Like he clinically died and then came back to life. Cool.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, lung transplant.
SPEAKER_05:That's it. I don't think ventilators improve health outcomes generally, also.
SPEAKER_06:They just maintain, don't they?
SPEAKER_05:They keep you from dying, which is positive, but they they I think generally they make things much worse. I'm not a doctor though.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, you get a lung transplant, and he's currently recovering. Wow. Yeah, he's it's crazy. They've been fundraising for the transplant costs. Uh 300 to 400,000 they raised. Dana White paid gave him money for it. Oh, okay. Oh, I think one of the one of the one of the the brothers, who's the Logan Paul brothers? There's Logan Paul and who's the who's the brother? Jake. Jake Paul. He donated a bunch or something like that. Like a very good.
SPEAKER_03:But can you imagine he's like a high caliber athlete and then gets a staph infection and then literally almost dies?
SPEAKER_05:I know.
SPEAKER_03:It just seems clean the mats.
SPEAKER_05:I'm sure the odds of that are super obviously the odds of that are super low. But not impossible.
SPEAKER_02:Zero. Some of those dudes' staph infections that they get like just in insane. Grody.
SPEAKER_05:Well, and then you know guys with staph infections that then show up to fights and stuff, they're like, oh, not a big deal. No. Every time I've had a little nimbly bit on my skin, I've been like, take me to the ER right now.
SPEAKER_02:Uh you actually, hypochondriacs, I think, in general, would like uh the new whoop upgrade. What is this new whoop upgrade? Uh so it's like medical grade. So basically, it takes your blood pressure every single morning. You could it has an EKG where you can like as many times as you want, you can check your heart. Oh, yeah. Um the new thing, it's the new thing it's not done yet, but it's going to start doing, is where you can order labs. So basically your labs for your blood work uh can get input into the whoop um algorithm, and they can tell you based on your blood work, the thing, the habits you need to start doing to help the with with your um stats or whatever the word of the code. It gives you a whoop age. Also gives you a whoop age, tells you if you're getting younger or older, which I just need to know my whoop age. You just want to know that. I do.
SPEAKER_06:And then you just return it. Free trial that get the thing. You're good.
SPEAKER_05:Is this the Whoop 5? Uh nope. Medical MG. MG. Medical grade. The first video that comes up is the Whoop 5.0 MG. Here's a disappointment. The next video that comes up is the Whoop Band 5.0 MG. One month review. Don't make this mistake. I don't know what mistake. Oh, that's just that's click band.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. Anyway, how why don't you get an Oura? Uh I don't know. Is it the ring?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I know a few people with it.
SPEAKER_03:I think it's pretty expensive. Same thing, right? Same stats, really.
SPEAKER_05:But last time, I mean, you didn't, you still have it, and you probably don't make any changes to your daily habits as a result of the new.
SPEAKER_03:I look at them, but it doesn't affect anything I do. Yeah, definitely tired today. Yeah. Shocker. I'm not recovered. Cool. Like, do you just like knowing when people I literally I literally lost, like I couldn't unsubscribe. He forgot that he forgot to turn out auto renew.
SPEAKER_05:Auto renewed.
SPEAKER_03:Autorenew and then you can't cancel. You get the full year then? You have to do it for a year.
SPEAKER_05:So you're locked in until December-ish.
SPEAKER_03:November. Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_06:Just the only reason why I'm wearing it. You put a calendar reminder in for yourself.
SPEAKER_02:I do that with a lot of my things now where I'll want it for the year, but I'll immediately go back and hit auto renew off. So like I'll get it, but I'll immediately cancel it so that it just doesn't screw me over.
SPEAKER_03:That's a good idea. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I do that for most things now.
SPEAKER_05:Sometimes my TV subscriptions get me with that. Like I'll subscribe to Apple TV for a month.
SPEAKER_03:They lit it. That's I think they bank on that that time. Oh, they do for sure. And then you like how many times like do you just be like, oh, I'll do it next month? And then you just like two years later, you're still doing it.
SPEAKER_06:Well, that's and I I redid the other day. I took like the day off work, and the last half of the day, I did the wine app thing. I redid a lot of the stuff, and I found subscriptions in our bank, in our bank statements. Well, what the hell is this thing? We had like an audit, we had an Audible and a Kindle Plus and all this kind of stuff. Like, what? OF? Carrie's like, oh, I signed up for free travel. Oh, come on, OF. Yeah. That's the incoming money, not outgoing. Oh, good.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, yeah. I love that you're still doing that. I love that.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, I thought you meant the the OF modeling.
SPEAKER_05:I love that you're still doing that also.
SPEAKER_06:Well, we had to because we had to revamp some stuff. So I'm in a financial prison right now. That's great. Self-created prison.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah. Interesting word choice as well. Revamp.
SPEAKER_06:We gotta remodel to revamp some stuff. We gotta remodel our our bank. How to prepare for CPP4 or CPP3 or whatever coming up.
SPEAKER_02:CPP3 coming soon.
SPEAKER_05:Do you dude by the time we retire? It's gonna be like, so CPP9 is coming out.
SPEAKER_02:So I just finished paying CPP eight. Actually, it's called the CPP Ocho. Uh and we're just moving into the CPP9.
SPEAKER_06:But don't worry, it's worth it.
SPEAKER_02:Don't worry, it's only$50 this year. Next year, it'll be$400.
SPEAKER_05:But I used to pay off CPP by like May.
SPEAKER_02:I I still have one more check to pay off my CPP too. Yeah, me too.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Yeah, it used to be May, early June. And then you're just rolling in dough.
SPEAKER_02:Not really. Really? No. Fuck no. The other crazy thing this week was all the Mark Carney uh stuff that came out with about his investments.
SPEAKER_05:I just I don't I I I haven't said I haven't seen it.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, that's crazy.
SPEAKER_05:I hate I hate Canadian politics so much right now.
SPEAKER_02:It's brutal. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:What's better?
SPEAKER_06:American?
SPEAKER_05:None of them are good is better.
SPEAKER_06:None of them is good right now.
SPEAKER_05:Shoveling your hand, your head in the sand is better. A shovel, shoveling your head.
SPEAKER_06:Well, you don't shovel, you stick your head in. You can't shovel your head. Yeah, I was like, what? No, I just you could shovel your head in it.
SPEAKER_02:You're like a shovel in your hand and your head in the sand. That's what I thought too. That's that's how it sounds better. You know what I meant.
SPEAKER_05:That sounds better, actually. I just don't find Canadian politics. I don't find any politics right now adding to my life.
SPEAKER_02:It's not. It's not. It's a detraction. Don't want to talk about it. Okay, cool. Not talking about it. Are we gonna drink that smear enough ice ever?
SPEAKER_06:Never. Hey, weird question. Um, so my family's gone this week, just to completely shift the gears so we don't go to politics. Yeah. They're they're gone this week.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I'd like to come over. Sure.
SPEAKER_06:Home alone? No, not really. Like my alone time. But the first, I don't know. When your guys' family leaves, the first night you're like, yeah, I watch a movie, whatever, right? The second night, I I'm lonely right now at home. I literally am. Yes, make the jokes about that. But I'm legitimately lonely right now at home, and I don't like it.
SPEAKER_03:You want a dog?
SPEAKER_06:Does that happen to you guys if like you're home alone for a couple days? Like you just get bored? I haven't been home at all.
SPEAKER_02:But like I feel like we had to like we had to like pull your teeth a little bit to get you here because you wanted your alone time.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, like yesterday, I we you literally moved this whole thing so I can have a full 24 hours of my house uninterrupted just watching movies.
SPEAKER_05:Right. That's what you were busy doing last night? Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:I I watched the day off movies. When when my wife goes to kayak camp with the kids, I take the day off, I clean the house, and then I do just whatever in the afternoon. That's how the wine app thing. You're mad. Because you're literally saying that you're bored, but then you're saying you're you're it's one of those things you get pumped about it because oh, this is coming up, it's gonna be awesome, and then day of comes, and it's like, this is not that cool. Just like watching three movies, like, this is not what I want to do with my life.
SPEAKER_02:Uh I I okay, I feel you. I'm with you. I feel the same way. Usually the first day I'm like, cool, I got some time to myself, and then like 100%. Um, but mine usually ends quicker. I'm like three hours in, I'm like, oh I can't even sit anymore. Like I can't sit and watch a movie. Like, I like, oh, I'm gonna play some video games. And I'm like, but I don't really even feel like playing. Damn it. Like, what am I what am I gonna do? Yeah, and then it's like I should make supper, but I'm like, I don't really feel like making supper just for me. I'm gonna make pizza pops or something. Like I just and I eat like crap when they're gone. So bad. Like, that's it's a problem.
SPEAKER_06:I had like three hanky meals yesterday because I told like I got three different hanky things all delivered to my house, and I crushed them all, and I have my stomach's destroyed.
SPEAKER_05:Anyway, I love that you took the day off though to do all that. Well, the house is clean.
SPEAKER_06:The house is clean, and we did the the wine app thing by myself. That was great.
SPEAKER_05:And uh we did the wine app thing by the time.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I just say we, I say we a lot instead I. That's my bad. But I did the I the wine app thing.
SPEAKER_03:And it was boring. Did you call in sick?
SPEAKER_06:Or did you No, I took I took our accumulated time off. Accumulated time off. I normally would have called in sick for that, but I took the accumulated time off.
SPEAKER_02:Good, good, good.
SPEAKER_06:Did it legit?
SPEAKER_02:Did you call in sick?
SPEAKER_06:Oh, well, I'll be very honest about what I have said. Did you have a throat cold? It's a mental health day. We used to have those at the other nursing.
SPEAKER_02:Sounds like Cartman from South Park. Mental health day. Yeah, mental health day. It's a hilarious episode. He like gets a job, and 10 minutes later, he's at home. He's like, I'm working from home today. It's an ice cream party, so it's gonna be scooping ice cream.
SPEAKER_05:Anyway, that's another show I just don't watch.
SPEAKER_02:You you I feel like you would really like it. It's very, very good. Like there's hit and miss, but some episodes are amazing. Uh, a really, really funny show is that tire show with uh Shane Gillis.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I haven't watched that. It's pretty good. Hilarious. You would like that if you haven't watched that. I haven't. Do you watch TV? I don't.
SPEAKER_02:No. Uh how much do you pay for your TV per month? A lot.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, but then you your your kids watch it. Like, what are the the the boys watching the streaming stuff?
SPEAKER_02:They don't need to watch it. TV cancel your telus. TV's done. I know, I know. Hey, tell us, stop calling them.
SPEAKER_03:Tell us? Yes.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, he's paying like probably like 120 bucks a month for TV.
SPEAKER_06:No, you're you're paying like seven 70 per TV, probably. I don't know. It's a lot.
SPEAKER_02:Cancel it.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. We're paying like 72, and I don't use this.
SPEAKER_05:So do you have a security system? No. I have a telesecurity system that thankfully expires in January. Like video cameras? Yeah. And like an alarm. Oh yeah. I've used it zero times. I've armed the alarm zero times.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, but you don't need it until you need it. Well, it won't be hard. If you haven't, you don't arm it as whereas you don't oh you don't turn it on. No. Oh, that's dumb. Yeah. Is that subscription based too? Oh yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Well, no, but it was contract-based, sorry. So you pay. Did you get a good deal?
SPEAKER_03:Like that way you signed up.
SPEAKER_05:Well, I mean, they told me I got a good deal. Did I get a good deal? I don't know. Is paying$40 a month worth it?
SPEAKER_03:I don't know.
SPEAKER_05:No.
SPEAKER_03:But if you have cameras that you can look at, it gives you a little bit of peace of mind.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah? One camera? One.
SPEAKER_05:Just you do I okay. So did your window window sensors window sensors and stuff, or what does it have? It has some door sensors that go like ding ding when my door is open. Okay. That's it. The reason I bought it is because it has monitored smoke alarms. So it put some of my like a arm? No, those are always armed.
SPEAKER_06:So wait a minute. So the smoke alarm goes off, you get like a notification on your phone. Yeah. What are you gonna do? I don't know. If your house is on fire and you're like not there, what's the what's the plan?
SPEAKER_05:Call a fucking fire truck.
SPEAKER_06:Call call your wife, make sure she's not sleeping.
SPEAKER_05:Like I'm gonna do some stuff. Yeah. I I I and that's why I bought it was because I just want to know if my house is on fire. That's fair. That's a big fear of mine. Although you almost burned your house down the other year, didn't you? Yeah, my wife did, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Oh okay.
SPEAKER_05:Oh barbecuing. Did you get us a fire extinguisher after that?
SPEAKER_03:I did. And then I uh then that Christmas I got those fire blankets. What? For a barbecue? You can put it on anything. So it's like a it folds up to like like a like an 8x11 piece of paper, and you open it up, and you can it's like a it's like a fire retardant blanket, so it like puts fires out. Like it's meant for kitchen fires. So if you have like a stove fire, you can just toss it on top. Yeah, so do you keep these near your barbecue? I do.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, that's cool.
SPEAKER_03:The uh the fire extinguisher no I didn't use a fire extinguisher to put the fire out, I used baking soda, which made a ridiculous mess. But saved my house from burning down.
SPEAKER_02:Did you like put it in your hand and blow at it? Sprinkle it. Sprinkle it? Sprinkle it on.
SPEAKER_03:But if I had this blanket, I probably wouldn't have used the blanket on my barbecue because that would have just melted it. It would have kept burning my my barbecue to probably stay on fire. But if I have a kitchen fire, um, like on the stove, I would use this blanket.
SPEAKER_05:No, because then you'd knock your pots off the stove, wouldn't you? Oh, just put it over top.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I understand. I mean, I haven't wrapped it up.
SPEAKER_06:I haven't wrapped it out. Have you opened the packaging yet? Yeah, it's in my kitchen. Stage staged it?
SPEAKER_03:Uh it's not like it's it's it's accessible. I like that. Yeah. I should maybe put my fire extinguisher in my house.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. That's a good start.
SPEAKER_06:Why are you why is that your big concern? I don't know, because I have a weird brain. If it's your big concern, you would have your fire extinguisher in your house. It's in my garage. Yeah, you gotta. You need one for every floor, too. You don't just have one in your like one in your whole house. You put one on each floor.
SPEAKER_03:They put them on Costco on sale. A two-pack for like 40 some odd bucks. They go on sale every now and again. Let me know the next time you see them on sale.
SPEAKER_06:See, I'm kind of the opposite. I hopefully this house doesn't burn down before they go on sale, I guess. Right?
SPEAKER_02:Like just when they go on sale. I'd be kind of okay if my house burned down. Obviously, if we weren't in it. Me too. Like I'd be I'd be like, okay, you're in there.
SPEAKER_06:You got like 30 minutes.
SPEAKER_02:Everything's replaceable. Everything everything. So back in the day. Disagree. Back in the day when people like would have their house burnt, burned down. The biggest concern.
SPEAKER_06:Like the very common concern in the 1990s, obviously. Yeah. Back in the day.
SPEAKER_02:But yes, back in the day, because they their biggest concern was like family photos. Yes. Right?
SPEAKER_03:Because they would be irreplaceable.
SPEAKER_02:Because you can't replace, you could not replace those. But now everything is on my phone. It's like all of my data that I need for banking, for everything, it's here. So it's like I would grab my phone and my family and would get out of the house. My wallet, maybe my passports, maybe. Just to make it easy. It's hard to get those.
SPEAKER_05:If I had doors that like automatically popped open, I'd feel better. So like my creatures could escape. Oh, you're the cats burn, they burn. They burn. That sounds that's they would get out.
SPEAKER_06:They're gonna get out.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, they'll be fine. Yeah, they're not morons. Like you just leave a door open or open.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, but if you're not home, like they're gonna die in here. That's what that's what you meant.
SPEAKER_02:I guess they probably go with smoke in Hillary. They probably wouldn't feel it, I don't think.
SPEAKER_06:Maybe they could just access your fire extinction. Sure.
SPEAKER_02:Either way, I just don't want my house to burn down. So you sure I'm not saying I want mine to burn down either. I'm just saying. Well, it's kind of what it sounded like. No, I'm just saying. When your house burns down, the insurance company's gonna listen to this.
SPEAKER_06:That was just back in the day. All right. A lot of houses burned down back.
SPEAKER_02:That's not what I said. I said I was saying back in the day, people were thinking about what would I take with me. Their biggest concern was their family albums, which is not really a concern anymore. You don't have anything you'd like on the way, like right now. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that is irreplaceable that I would be that concerned about. No.
SPEAKER_05:Okay. Have you ever thought about what you would take with you if you had to leave? If you if they came to you and you're like, hey, there's a grass fire, you got thirty minutes to go. Like, what are you taking?
SPEAKER_02:I don't know. Again, I don't know. I don't know. Uh uh there's not much that I I'm not super like I'm not You probably fit it all in it like a tote. Yeah. Everything that was
SPEAKER_06:Not important to you. It's like not a too in the furnace room. Like it's like each of our kids has a tote in the furnace room, and they have like uh it's like a file folder, and we just we have those. So if something happens, grab that tote, all their stuff from school, their little keepsake fit fell photos, whatever, they're all just in there. And we just grab it and go.
SPEAKER_02:I'd probably grab like my couple laps, like my wife's laptop, my laptop, and yeah, that's a good one. Like that's probably it. Like, I'm not super there's nothing in that house that I'd be like, oh my god, I'll never live without this thing. I'll probably I'd probably forget. Actually, that's the problem, is I'd probably forget what half the things that burn because I'd be like, we'd never use like in my garage, I have storage, and there's boxes that we've probably had for a decade that I don't even know what's in that thing. Why do we have this? Uh so there'd be a lot of that kind of stuff that goes away. It would be a nice fresh refresh start.
SPEAKER_06:There is a fresh start component to it that makes it a little attractive.
SPEAKER_02:And that's what I kind of the like side of it that I kind of like. You're kind of right. Because I grew up like doing construction, so like I like the idea of building a brand new house, but ooh, that'd be cool. You could actually design it how you wanted to, you could like spend all of your clutter and junk are gone. You can't you have to use the footprint.
SPEAKER_03:Well, oh, I guess maybe depending on your insurance company. But recently I helped a friend move who moved into a house that burned down, yeah. And they had to, it was in part of their policy they had to rebuild the identical house.
SPEAKER_06:Can you can you do like a like a buyout or a payout instead? I'm not sure. I don't think you can. Like a vehicle like write-off or whatever. I guess you can't really write off a house, but I don't think I feel like you can.
SPEAKER_01:I don't I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:I thought it was very weird too because it's like, oh, you could change, you could change a bunch of stuff, same thing, like freshen it up or whatever, but they was like, no, you had they have to build the exact same house.
SPEAKER_06:But if they build the exact same house, all the clutter is not there anymore. So you can fresh start that's nice.
SPEAKER_02:And you're building the exact same house to today's standards, which is different than maybe when it was built back then. So like your heating installation, all that kind of stuff is like new, better.
SPEAKER_05:But they don't have your old house floor plans.
SPEAKER_02:Like they're not gonna like exterior and like footprint-wise, it would have to probably be similar, but I don't like I think you should probably get away.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, move some shit around. I mean, I would like that opportunity to kind of like do it again.
SPEAKER_06:I just want to get rid of clutter. I just house fire, wipe that out.
SPEAKER_05:You just like control, delete, hey. You could probably just like put things in a truck and take them to the jump.
SPEAKER_03:You don't have to have a fire to declutter.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you do. You can just I we've been starting to like this. I took two or three truckloads to the dump at the beginning of like the spring here. It's a good feeling.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, so good. And then it's like isn't the dump depressing though?
SPEAKER_06:How's the dump depressing?
SPEAKER_03:Because you go there and you like you see like the things that people throw out. Mounds and mounds of human waste. Literally mounds of like like piles of dishwashers. Is it sad for you? Stoves. Well, it's like waste. Like you're burying refrigerators, like hundreds, thousands of fridges, like this getting buried in the earth.
SPEAKER_06:The rent's dishwasher went out, and I called the guy, and he's like, Yeah, he's like, I can come look at it, but I'll probably just end up taking it to the dump and just get a new one. And I'm like, Oh, okay. So I went and figured it out, it's like a$30 part, put it in, it works fine. So I see your point there. We're like, yeah, we we waste so much stuff. But I'm not sad about it.
SPEAKER_03:It's just it's just depressing. The if you go go look around the dump, it's like you look like the planet from Wally.
SPEAKER_06:You just they realize you're destroying the earth.
SPEAKER_02:I don't really look around, I just go dump my stuff and leave. I don't wander. I'm not driving.
SPEAKER_05:I just found it very I don't find the dump that depressing. Nah really no, because in a thousand years that shit's all gonna decompose anyways. It's just it's just out of works.
SPEAKER_03:What a wasteful I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:Like will a microwave decompose?
SPEAKER_05:Eventually. I guess do you you're not finding microwaves from the civilization before us, are you?
SPEAKER_02:It's a good point.
SPEAKER_05:Good point.
SPEAKER_06:I always thought they could just take all that garbage and just launch it into space.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, but then we could never escape the earth ever again. Yeah, that's a terrible idea.
SPEAKER_05:No, but like past the bad as the idea of like putting particles in the sky to block out the sun to prevent global warming. That's a fucking terrible idea, too.
SPEAKER_03:What am I gonna say that again? Putting particles in the sky? Yeah, to block out the sun.
SPEAKER_06:Like a like a like a word.
SPEAKER_05:Have you not seen the news article where the UK government approved like something like 50 million pounds or some crazy number to fund like solar global engineer weather engineering to block out this fucking sun?
SPEAKER_06:Just for them or for like everyone, that's that's the problem. That's what's messed up.
SPEAKER_02:How can a country make a decision that affects the whole world?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah. Just for oh, yeah, no, these clouds are just gonna stay over the UK. Also, that place isn't super sunny as far as I understand.
SPEAKER_02:So strange. What what is with all of the cloud seeding stuff? Like, do you know much about this? Um I know that cloud seeding happens. Like, so there was a flood in like oh no, no, there was like a flood, a flood in like Dubai or Saudi Arabia somewhere a couple years ago. Yeah, they like actually left the clouds on seeding too long, and it like the insane amount of water, it rain happened in like a couple of days and it flooded. So apparently the Texas one was also cloud seeding. Really? That flood that happened, that crazy rapid flood that happened where the little kids disappeared. Uh like a couple days before they were cloud seeding. Yes, look it up. Really? Yeah, it's it's a thing.
SPEAKER_03:I didn't know this was a thing. So somebody could be responsible for those deaths.
SPEAKER_02:Potentially, like if that's if that was a thing, they over-cloud seeded, and which is like it's insane that we're doing that.
SPEAKER_05:Conspiracy theorists. Of course, cloud seeding caused the Texas floods. Okay. It did not. Okay, perfect.
SPEAKER_06:But I didn't I didn't know that cloud seeding was an actual thing that existed. Yeah, that's not a conspiracy theory that exists. No, it does, it's going on.
SPEAKER_05:Weather manipulation happens. Oh, I would be down with them doing some cloud seeding around here in the summer months when it's super dry. It got it can't be good.
SPEAKER_06:It can't there's silver oxide they put in, which I IO oh silver iodide, which couldn't be Oh, that's fine. If it was oxy if it was oxide, no. Just to let you know, and Grok wanted to us to know, there's no evidence linking cloud seeding in Ben Askrin's health. So we're okay. I love it. Just put it randomly in the paragraph, you're just right in there.
SPEAKER_05:Because it stays relevant to the context of what you talked about before. So now the next one. Oh my god. That's not how you're supposed to. You have to start a new topic every time. Yeah, I I don't know how to do that, so I just um but yeah, I would be down if they cloud seeded here in the summer. Like just get a little bit more rain, July and August.
SPEAKER_06:It's been fairly rainy this year. And you just don't want the sun. Because you know, that that going on.
SPEAKER_05:That's not bad. I don't like living in a desert, and we live in a desert.
SPEAKER_06:It hasn't this this year has not been that bad, I don't think. Last year was terrible.
SPEAKER_05:This year's been actually really good.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, last year sucked. But you know when you go you go a little bit north to like Calgary or something like that, and it's super nice and green, and here it's just sorry, Grok's talking to me. That's your Grok voice?
SPEAKER_02:Uh have you seen the standard what what is that? This is Grok's new no.
SPEAKER_06:Yes. Did you pick it up? That thing that thing popped up on the front when I opened it up. That that anime character or whatever. Yeah, this is a good thing. What the hell is that? I thought it was an ad for some weird thing. I don't like this thing.
SPEAKER_05:I don't like that at all. Why are you doing that? That's I'm not doing anything. So, for the people listening, that is a picture of an anime girl in like a skanky dress. No, no, no, it is.
SPEAKER_06:It's classy. It's not classy.
SPEAKER_05:She's wearing a corset.
SPEAKER_06:What is it? Did Grog start an OnlyFans? What is happening?
SPEAKER_02:Did you start an OnlyFans?
SPEAKER_04:What's with the background music?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, this is strange. So that's what that happens when you open it up now. I opened this one up and I had to close that woman on the front here.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, there's so you have com you can have companions now on Grok. Uh uh, you can have companions. This one's named Annie, and then there's a Rudy, which is like uh Is it anime? Let me find out. I think it's like a raccoon. Is this on X or like grok.com? The Grok website. No, the Grok app. What are you passing around here?
SPEAKER_06:I don't know what this one is. I did I grabbed three random bottles, and this looks like a cola.
SPEAKER_05:Feint men's botanically brewed traditional curiosity cola. Yeah, small batch.
SPEAKER_03:Gucci.
SPEAKER_02:Uh tell us about your uh holiday here you're going on. Me? Yeah, you. What are you going to do?
SPEAKER_06:It's gonna be fun. I want to talk about it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's cool. I'm going to uh Whitefish to listen to some music.
SPEAKER_06:Okay, you're really downplaying this. Are you going with anybody? My family? Are you is it a music festival or is it just called Under the Big Sky? So you're gonna go hang out with the boys and your wife at a music festival for a couple days. Yes. How cool is that, and can you wait for that to happen? That's gonna be amazing.
SPEAKER_05:I'm not the music festival kind of person that Tony is.
SPEAKER_02:There's some, but there's some good the guys like who's going to be. I think it's awesome. There's some good uh you like them. Yep. They are, eh? Who's the oh uh the guy um uh Oliver Anthony Oliver Anthony Oliver?
SPEAKER_06:Oh, with the yeah, he's got that scornful, scornful woman song now.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, because his wife left him and took all his money, right? Most of his money. Half most.
SPEAKER_06:Half his money, half is half his uh rich man to Richmond money or whatever he had. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Oh. Well, there you go.
SPEAKER_01:I think so.
SPEAKER_06:All right.
SPEAKER_01:So it happens when you get divorced, then you get half your things. Unless you sign a prenup. Sure. I don't think he did.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, what an idiot.
SPEAKER_06:Well, none of us signed prenups either.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:No.
SPEAKER_02:You you had in your prenup, it was the rapture.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, at that time. The old four raptors. You can't touch my truck.
SPEAKER_05:My dad legitimately tried to convince me to get a prenup signed. I was like, dad. Really? Yeah, I don't know why. I don't have anything. That's what I said. I was like, Dad, I don't know. I don't know why. I don't is this alcoholic?
SPEAKER_02:Uh maybe. No, it's not. All right. It tastes weird to me. Yeah, it's not great. No alcohol in Curiosity Cola.
SPEAKER_06:I don't know of yeah.
SPEAKER_05:If you're Uber.
SPEAKER_06:Just never crossed my mind.
SPEAKER_05:If you're Jeff Bezos, you're probably signing a prenup. Yes, obviously.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah? For sure. Like he spent$40 million on his wedding.
SPEAKER_02:Like what what? Yeah. But that, but like again, like just c context, that's probably like us spending$5,000.
SPEAKER_05:Well, they said they because this is the one in Italy, right? Yeah. They said that's the equivalent to one of us peasants spending$600 on a wedding.
SPEAKER_03:I don't want to know that.
SPEAKER_07:Are you serious?
SPEAKER_02:It's when numbers get that big, like when you start talking about like billions, like it does the scale of it doesn't make sense in my head. Like math, it doesn't really, you're like, that doesn't make sense, but yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Wow, I'm gonna spend 600 bucks on a wedding. It'll be it'll be alright.
SPEAKER_02:I think I saw, I think it was Bezos, they showed his yacht, and then they showed like the sailing boat that follows his yacht, and it was like, I can't remember the price of these things, but it was in insane. What do you mean the sailing boat though?
SPEAKER_03:So he's got like he's got like a crew boat, like a support boat that brings it for his yacht. Yeah, so what the fuck? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Your yacht's so big you have to have a second boat. Yeah, yeah. That makes no sense. I think like a helicopter lands on it, it carries it, it carries jet skis, it carries like a like a ski boat, it carries like you know what really like I'm sorry, but what pisses me off about that is that when I watched my three movies, I had to there was an ad that popped up on Amazon and it was two minutes long, and it's like this movie is brought to you with limited interruptions. I was like, what the hell is this? And then now there's ads on Amazon, you'd pay you'd pay three bucks a month to get them off.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. But don't you remember watching TV and with commercials? But that's the thing.
SPEAKER_06:This is this is what it is now. We're watching it with the family, and I'm like, because you remember getting nostalgic. Yeah, totally. You ever get nostalgic and like, hey, honey, you remember this commercial and you played something from the 90s? Yeah. We're watching this uh Abril Spritz commercial that's always on Disney Plus, and my kids see it all the time. Like, this is gonna be their commercial that they're gonna watch when they're older, saying, Hey, do you remember that one commercial? And then this is what they'll watch. I've I no.
SPEAKER_05:I hey hun, do you remember?
SPEAKER_06:Smash. You don't ever sit with your wife and talk about like and show your like well, you will. You will show your kids your old TV, your your cartoon-themed shows and or uh cartoon-themed songs and all that kind of stuff from when you were kids. And we do the same with commercials. Uh, remember those Manitoba or uh Canadian Wonderland commercial where they did a little bit of Canadian history inside the commercial? Hinterland. Hinterland, yeah. Those things we show them to our kids all the time.
SPEAKER_05:I don't remember Hinterland's Who's Who? Hinterland Who's Who? No. The only one I remember is Waramps.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, they had some Do you remember the robot, the robot War Amps commercial where the robot was jumping through the blades?
SPEAKER_05:What the fuck was his name?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I'm a robot. It was like Ampy or something like that. It was like it was a it was a name, it was a play on War. Yeah, something like that. You show you and all that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_02:No, uh, but anyway.
SPEAKER_06:No, yeah, me neither. You know, we don't get nostalgic at all about things. You probably watch in 1990s prices writes with my kids sometimes.
SPEAKER_05:Why it's so much fun? Is it? Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_06:Is it fun for you or fun for the kids?
SPEAKER_03:Who is it fun for?
SPEAKER_05:It doesn't matter. But dad, this sucks. I don't care.
SPEAKER_02:I'm living in nostalgia. What's interesting about those is the price of things. Like that's what I find that interesting on some of those old prices. Oh, my guesses are always weird. Yeah, like the prices are of like a car, the car, and it's like$11,000.
SPEAKER_03:And we've literally become our parents saying. I remember back when we were that age. Oh, completely.
SPEAKER_06:That's how that started. And we then they started complaining, like asking about stuff, so we just put on prices right. This is what things cost.
SPEAKER_02:But the commercials still aren't as bad as what we grew up with. Like there's still like there's maybe one at the beginning, maybe one in the middle, and so you're maybe getting three commercials.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's here for like an hour versus like every you know 10 minutes.
SPEAKER_06:Five minutes. Yeah, it's crazy. But it all depends on the show. We're watching The Bear on Disney Plus, and there is a commercial every 10 minutes on there, and it's two minutes long.
SPEAKER_03:I think Disney had paid more, but to get rid of those commercials.
SPEAKER_06:I'm tempted, but I'm not gonna let them.
SPEAKER_03:It's funny that we call them commercials because my kids call them. I call them to tell ads.
SPEAKER_06:They're like, Oh, the ads on. No, it's a commercial, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But it's yeah, that's weird.
SPEAKER_06:Is it it? It's come full circle. It's an ad.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because we went away from ad-free TV and now it's back.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, yeah. And now we're paying to go back to ad-free TV.
SPEAKER_02:Uh, but so I find it interesting, like with Bezos and those guys who are super rich, it's like it's everyone likes to hate on them, but then you start looking at like their history and their story, and it's like, okay, well, these guys literally came from most of the time. Was he like a garage startup type thing? Yeah, he was. I can't remember specifically. He was working, he asked his, he decided he had an idea for an online bookstore. He asked his parents' parents lent him like$20,000 or maybe a hundred thousand, something like that, to go start this like thing, and it ended up working out, obviously. But like it was just like he had an idea, he was uh he didn't have money, uh, he borrowed his first hundred thousand from his parents, who were just like, okay, here's our thing, we believe in you. Good luck, and it worked out. Now it's insanely rich. And like most of these guys who are super, super rich right now, or at least the ones in America that are like in the public eye had nothing. So, but like everyone likes to hate them, like they're like, Oh, you just given it's like that. They're just insanely hard workers who had that cool idea, yeah, right place, right time, maybe, and who knows what along the way. But like they you can't hate on them for the ingenuity and like their work ethic and on the things that got them there because it wasn't like they were handed a billionaire and a billion dollar empire, and like, here you go. But the people hating on them are probably broke ass.
SPEAKER_05:Well, for sure.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I don't hate on them. I just don't want to pay three bucks extra for want to watch a movie without ads in it, you know.
SPEAKER_02:I just find it funny because like you some like Elon, obviously the guy gets so much hate because of a billion trillionaire, billionaire, whatever he is, but I don't think he's a trillionaire. Uh he might be the first one they said. Is there? Not yet, but not yet.
SPEAKER_03:Do you think he'll ever get there?
SPEAKER_02:He was like only his net if there's 200 something.
SPEAKER_03:There's probably some oil tycoons, Middle East.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, there's people you don't know about for sure that would be way more way way more rich. But uh if the evaluations are true about Tesla and also SpaceX, if it actually ends up like doing what it's supposed to be doing, yeah, Elon. Sorry, back to Elon. Well, he's he's he's halfway there. He he could get there.
SPEAKER_06:500 million? He's five he's 449 billion dollars is the billion. But then like net a little bit different net worth, I don't know what like that's his net worth, I guess. Because it's only 240 billion. It's only only 245 billion though.
SPEAKER_02:That's why what's the famous uh uh stock trader guy? What's his name? Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett. I saw a thing the other day saying the dividends he makes per month off of Coca-Cola. Can you look that up? I I don't even want to say it because it doesn't even seem real. It's like mil it's like a millions of dollars per month on dividends from Coke because he like bought it in like 1988. It's crazy.
SPEAKER_05:Just the thing, though. He's been in the market for 35 years, 40 years, whatever it is.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:He owns 400 million shares.
SPEAKER_03:400 million?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, what's 400 million shares of Coke? Oh, dividend 776 million per year. What? So month, no, you break that down monthly. It's only 64.67 million per month. Per month. Per month.
SPEAKER_02:On home. On coke. Just on Coke stuff. Wow. That's crazy. I saw that and I was like, that can't be true. And then it broke it down by per second how much he was making from Coke dividend stock. Oh, yeah. And it was like how much per second? Oh yeah. It was ridiculous.
SPEAKER_03:700 million a year? Yeah. That doesn't even seem believable. It's believable. It's yeah.
SPEAKER_06:$24 per second.$24.59 per second. So if he drops a$20 on the ground, it is not worth him. The time it takes for him to bend down. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02:That is crazy. Insane. And that's only one of his, like that's obviously he's like a So was he was he in early on the Coke? Yeah? Oh yeah. Wow. And then obviously he kept buying it. He just kept adding his shit adding to it and stuff. And most likely what he did is he reinvested his his money back into shares to a certain point and then just started collecting dividends after that. But compounds, compounding time, time and money. It's okay. The best time to plant the tree.
SPEAKER_05:If you plant a tree tomorrow, it'll grow today. No, it's not what it is. Tomorrow is the best time to plant a tree for next year.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it is. Or today would be, but tomorrow's okay, dude.
SPEAKER_06:Currently, Ben Askren has no uh Coca-Cola stocks.
SPEAKER_02:So you guys know it just so we know. I also have no Coca-Cola stocks.
SPEAKER_05:What is the what is a single share of Coca-Cola worth these days? Uh I'm gonna say 110.
SPEAKER_02:No, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna say 50.
SPEAKER_05:We've been talking about money a lot in this podcast lately.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I think it's all kind of on the forefront of our minds right now, though. It's important.
SPEAKER_05:Is it?
SPEAKER_06:It is it is, yeah. I hate it because uh it always stims into my mind after we do this with the wine app stuff, it always stims it. But then if I go shopping and have to go get groceries, which I don't usually do, usually Kara take or she takes care of all of that stuff. Um I get pretty upset when I go grocery shopping nowadays. Why? Just because the cost of everything everything is so expensive. Uh sixty nine bucks for Coke.
SPEAKER_02:I said fifty as close.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Uh here's why I think it's important. I think it is important because uh we gre I grew up in a home that we didn't even talk about it. We definitely were good with my mom was my parents were very good at saving money, and my mom was her philosophy was like if you can't buy something with cash, if you haven't saved up the money to save for to buy something, don't buy it. Like if you don't have the money for it, they can't like whatever. So like it's not bad, but like now knowing what I know, I think there's other way better ways to do that. But we didn't really have those discussions, like investing was never talked about. Um, I think when you talk about money and when you have like good discussions about it, it is it brings that to the forefront of your mind, but you just have to like it can't be in a negative way. Like, I don't think you should be viewing it in like an it's all it's so easy for all of us to say, Oh shit, if only five years ago I would have bought NVIDIA stock. And like you can't worry about that because there's a million of those things that you didn't buy that would have made you millionaire today. And there's a million of those things today, and there is, but you also can't necessarily chase those. Like that's the that's the hard part about like in when it comes to investing. You can't necessarily start trying to find that next one and chasing it because then it becomes like you might as well be bidding it on meme coins on crypto because it's you're just gonna throw money at everything and nothing's gonna stick. But I guess the whole point is like having the conversations about like money and wealth and then all these kinds of things, investing. I just think it's good because it destigmatizes those conversations about talking about money, and then it allows you to kind of um get various different ideas about how to how to um your make your finances work for you or how to start investing in your life. And maybe it's not maybe you can't take 20% of your check, but you could take 5% and you can start trying to invest that somewhere. Um but if you're thinking about it, then at least you're potentially gonna start doing something about it now instead of 10 years from now, where again you've wasted another 10 years and you could have been investing in something. So I'm I'm obsessed with it. Like this last week and a half has been like YouTube videos after YouTube videos about watching about investing and different ways to invest and trying to figure out what's the right style for me and how in like 11 years left of our job, what can how can I set myself up in between now and 11 years from now? So that when if I retire in 11 years, that I would be like in a better position than I am. That's so I I think it's good to talk about.
SPEAKER_06:I don't know, maybe that's why we're talking about it so much, but yeah, we like we grew up in a household where we didn't talk about it, my parents didn't talk about my wife's family didn't talk about it as well, and we I would say up until about a year ago, didn't really have good conversations about money until then. And now we're better off because we're having talks about it and we're open with it and all that stuff, but it was always an awkward thing, and I think it's just because we were raised that way.
SPEAKER_02:And it's interesting when you do start talking about it, it's interesting because you will start finding people who they haven't been talking about it, but they have been doing things for the for themselves for a long time, and you're like, man, good job. Like, why why? Like, what is it that why were you investing in something? Uh shout out to George, if you're listening to this, uh guy in our last class. He listens to the podcast, but he was talking, but that guy's like, he's I think he might be 34-ish, and he's got so much real estate. Like he's he's set himself up in terms of from a real estate perspective, he's got I don't know how many rentals, he's just settling on a fourplex right now. Uh he's like he's doing crazy good things for at his age. I wish I had thought the way he's thinking. Um, and so it's it's really interesting once you start having these conversations openly, you are like on here, because he reached out after here our last podcast and we started chatting about it. And it's it's good, it's awesome, right? Because then people are like, Oh, they're willing to have these conversations. And I you don't know what you don't know. So all of a sudden you hear people are like, Oh, maybe there's a better way to grow my money than just having a sit it sit in uh like in your savings account. You can still have an emergency fund in a TFSA, maybe like it's investing. And if some crazy thing happened in your life and you need to pull 20,000, okay. You can still pull it from there, right? Not a big deal.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, or you can leave if you hypothetically didn't have all your lines of credits fucking. Completely, completely tap a line of credit to pay for that.
SPEAKER_02:I just I just think it's super important, and like I'm I yeah, I wish I had I'm 43. I wish I had started this tw 20 years ago, right?
SPEAKER_05:I want to know how at 34 somebody is closing on a fourplex.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, he's just he's that's awesome. Dude, that's wild. He's doing awesome, and he I think this I don't can't remember how many he has, but I think he's got at least three other rentals, maybe four. I thought he had like eight or something. It could be like that, it's a lot.
SPEAKER_05:See, and the question I would have as a relatively new owner of a rental property is what's the next step to turn that into something uh bigger or better? It might be leverage, I don't know. Yeah, but what's and I guess the leverage is the equity you have in it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:But hey George, if you want to come on here and talk about real estate, no, I think it'd be awesome. If you want to come on here and talk about some real estate and some wealth generation, we'd love to have you.
SPEAKER_06:I've always wondered that too, because the the previous boss I had when I did construction, his he owns, I think, 26, 27 houses in in our in Lethbridge. And I never knew what the end game was. Like, and then so the end game to him is like, well, I'm he's like, I'm never gonna pay down any of uh and I'm not gonna never gonna pay down my primary house. And the majority of these I'm never gonna pay down, I'm just gonna use them to get more. I'm okay. Well, what what's the like how do we because it feels like a house of cards?
SPEAKER_02:But it it it does feel like that though, and it and it 100% can be. That that's it's I mean, obviously it works out for a lot of people, but until I my my concern would be until it doesn't. Like there's gotta be a point in time like our something that happened in the market where that is now you're screwed. Like uh I can't remember what years it were, like long time ago was it? It's like 08 or something, when it went up, or even but even like long time ago when the interest rate went up to like 18%.
SPEAKER_05:But people are gonna st that and I guess that's been said why people like to invest in real estate. People always need places to live.
SPEAKER_02:They do, but like at what point is it is the real estate so expensive? Like right now, it feels like the vast majority of young people coming up in their 20s or something, they're gonna how are they gonna afford a house?
SPEAKER_06:On each side of us, everything East Coast and well, like there's no way we're not bad in Alberta. We're still bad though, like well, BC, Ontario, like they're they're horrible. I completely agree. They're a generational mortgage off the start. It makes no sense.
SPEAKER_02:And that's why we're having a bunch of BC people move here for sure. But like even here, it'll have to just feel like I don't know, it just feels like like yes, prices are they still seem seem like they're going up, but like well, that has to end, doesn't it? Like, I don't know. Like, does it not have to end at a certain point where you you went out right now, you bought three, four houses uh for rentals, and you had the money to do it. Okay, maybe you're good, but but like I don't know. I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:What's the price of anything that has stayed the same over the last 20 years? Like, what is the same as it was before? Nothing. Exactly. So I don't know how that all affects each other and all that, like how everything keeps on going up. I don't know how that relationship happens.
SPEAKER_02:I don't know how yeah, it just seems like everything's like continually going up. Like, how is that possible? I would like him to come on the podcast.
SPEAKER_05:You know how else I'd like to come on the podcast? You recommended him. You don't actually know him, but I think you recommend him. Was that realtor?
SPEAKER_06:I I do like him. I've been listening to a little bit of his stuff.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Curtis is his name.
SPEAKER_06:Curtis uh Hawkins. Hawkins, yeah. He's another He seems pretty well well versed. Yeah. I don't know this guy.
SPEAKER_05:Because I need somebody to hold my hand to say, hey, you have now one rental property. Like, have you thought about what your plan is in five years? Because I haven't. Not really.
SPEAKER_02:And I'm kinda and like I I'm kind of leaning, I like the idea of not having them anymore.
SPEAKER_05:I just like but you can do more than one thing. Yeah. That's the other thing, right? Is like getting like a lot of people I think get trapped in the like this is my thing. Maybe, but like you could have a lot of things that are moving moving the needle for you. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, I I for sure. But like something like that for like a fourplex, like that was something that we were actually looking for for a while and we just didn't find anything, so we kind of stopped looking, but like that would be a key, or like uh yeah, a con like a condo where you get in both sides, or those places by the university that have those four units in it, but like you can never find there were always like ones for sale, not the rest.
SPEAKER_05:But five, six, maybe even longer years ago. Remember when those ones on the west side in by the McDonald's, the new McDonald's on the west side came up, those fourplexes? Yeah, I remember when those came up for sale. They were sale, they were for sale the entire fourplex for eight hundred thousand dollars. And at the time, I was like, Oh, that's a lot of money. But now in retrospect, I was like, fuck, I probably could have scraped together maybe, maybe with another person, yeah, to do that. Yeah, and it would have been worth worth it. What are those selling for individually now? Like 300, 400? I think so. Yeah. Right. Uh, and again, those opportunities, and that's that is like the trap to step on, is assuming that those opportunities have passed. They're still there.
SPEAKER_02:Completely. And that that's the the hard part in general when talking about these is because you always look at the you always look at the things you've missed, and you're like, oh I think, but the deterrent is like they're always there, but they may be a harder barrier to entry at this point.
SPEAKER_03:They are, yeah. Right? Like it's still there, but it's just not as easy to get in.
SPEAKER_05:Right, but if it's not as easy, well, but it's just gonna get harder. A hundred percent. Right, and yeah, I I need to talk to somebody that is smarter than us. We should have them on.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, let's do it.
SPEAKER_05:A lot of people that are smarter than us. Pretty much everyone. Yeah. Although, but there's also like a lot of really dumb people out there. There is like yeah, you know, like I'm not saying we're super smart because we're not we're average and we need to get some superior people on here.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I I just like I agree with you. I think we've been talking about money a lot, and if it's boring you, sorry everyone listening. But I just think it's super, it's a good really important conversation to have, and I think um like just figuring out for you and your family how do you get to that that whole like the fire movement, like uh financial independence, retire early. Like it's interesting, right?
SPEAKER_04:Because it's also kind of bullshit.
SPEAKER_02:It it is, it is, until it isn't. Like people, there's guys who are doing it, and there's like there's like uh and I don't know the one guy I've been watching on YouTube, he's like he's 40 now, but he retired when he was like 35 based off his uh investment portfolio.
SPEAKER_05:But what what what is retirement in that case, right?
SPEAKER_02:To the point. I don't know, right? That's and that's the thing is like at 35, like you're still gonna do stuff, like you I hope. So it's not sitting at home doing nothing. So what does that look like? I don't know. Yeah, like do you want to just not have any bills so you can sit at home and do nothing? Well, that sounds fucking terrible. Yeah, and I don't think that's what these guys are doing. I think they probably find some other sort of and that's the thing is a lot of times what these guys do is that that's the plan, and then they during that process they find some sort of other uh income stream that they didn't even know would be there, and a lot of these guys it ended up being like YouTube videos or whatever, but the ones I'm watching anyway, I'm not that that can't work out for everybody, but there's something that they started doing in the process of that that would led to the next career. Right, but the next career in which that they're passionate about, and it but it and it's not like you have to do it, but because they love doing and that's the same thing with all these guys billionaires, right? They're still working. You know what I mean? Like it's not like they it's not like they're like, oh, I've made uh$500 billion, I'm not doing anything. Like Bezos could could give up. He could. Well, and he's good, yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_05:He could hire people to massage him all day and I think maybe the problem is you don't hear the story enough of the guy who starts his business and then exits for 15 million.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:And then lives a really comfortable life. Completely because that would that and that's for the average person, I'd be like, that's all I need. But then what do you do?
SPEAKER_06:Right. Imagine how slowly you could wash the dishes if you did that. Dude, you could spend all day just scrubbing that every plate, seasoning all your cast iron every day. Do you cook on cast iron?
SPEAKER_03:Um, not often. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, I just said that because you you strike me as somebody who would. Do you cook on Teflon? Uh I bought the uh Hex clad.
SPEAKER_03:Um do you know how much plastic you're getting?
SPEAKER_02:Hexclad is Hexclad's metal.
SPEAKER_06:He's not using his his.
SPEAKER_02:I think Hexclad is like made to not be bad for you.
SPEAKER_06:Just do stainless steel. I've got stainless steel as well. Or was it steel pants? Steel pants and stainless steel sucks to cook on.
SPEAKER_05:Like it's hard.
SPEAKER_06:It is if you if you don't have the temperature set right, everything sticks. It's all about temperature. Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, it says non-stick. What do you think that makes it non-stick?
SPEAKER_06:Magic probably science. Hydrogen. Probably that extra high. Yeah, that's probably that extra hydrogen.
SPEAKER_05:Hydrogen that's going into those. The non-stick coating is infused with diamond dust. There you go. That's all right.
SPEAKER_06:And that stays because it's hard. Yeah. You know it's good. And if it gets in, you can do it.
SPEAKER_03:You guys aren't getting your diamond? Just taking one pill a day. How is the hydrogen uh train coming there, fellas?
SPEAKER_06:Well, I'm almost out. I don't think I'm gonna get any more. I no, no, no, no. I feel the same. I don't know. Like, I yeah. Noticeable difference. No.
SPEAKER_05:Just imagine, instead of taking this pill that you paid a bunch of money for, you could just meditate for 15 minutes.
SPEAKER_06:There is a remarkable difference, actually. My children make fun of me. So that's great. Yeah, because they yeah, Lannon has explained to them how H2O doesn't really need an extra H, and now they make fun of me.
SPEAKER_02:So did you get them to read the articles about it though?
SPEAKER_06:I I tried to pull up a couple YouTube videos of uh Breco and they immediately lost interest and they weren't the right they start talking about like salt solees and stuff. I'm like, this is the wrong thing, and then they lost interest. I'm like, oh, that's too bad.
SPEAKER_05:Salt solees? Yeah. I don't know what that is.
SPEAKER_02:It do your kids get butt bullied at school?
SPEAKER_06:No, no, no. Gary Brecca started talking about salt salt. So your kids start talking about salt. He does it for but my my wife does it, actually works really good. Which you just take a take a little bit of water, put salt, uh, was it Himalaya sea salt in it, until you can't put any more in and nothing else is dissolving. Take a couple teaspoons, tablespoons of that water, put it in a four-liter bottle of water, and mix it up and just have a cup a day. And it and she doesn't get daytime, you know, daytime headaches and stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Or you can have electrolytes.
SPEAKER_05:You could get some element.
SPEAKER_06:You could. Um you could just do the sea salt stuff. Anyway, it's supposed to reduce inflammation in the brain. She doesn't get headaches anymore through the day. It helps, so we just keep on that.
SPEAKER_05:Oh dude, I I wish I could afford element every month.
SPEAKER_06:Well, you you could do high or uh Himalayan sea salt. It's it's quite cheap. Apparently there's a lot of metal in Himalayan sea salt. What are you gonna get that you think element doesn't have stuff in it too, though? Well, I don't know what element has in it. It has salt. Is it made in a factory? Magnesium.
SPEAKER_05:I think it's handmade with love. Okay.
SPEAKER_06:Well, everything has stuff in it. There's no way around anything anymore.
SPEAKER_05:Gary Brecka talks about the ideal salt is Yukon Gold.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. I'm not gonna get into debate with my no-medical degree and your no medical degree talking about salt components. Uh he's wearing a lab coat. Oh my god. I yeah. Everything is bad. There's no way around it. Indeed. There's no perfect salt, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I just think you should be cooking on cast iron. I've got a couple cast iron. Do you find I've got one? I just don't use it right now. Well, I think hexaclad's good. No, there's no way a non-stick coating is good.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, but it's diamonds. Yeah. What's harder than diamond? You think spatulas are harder than diamonds? No.
SPEAKER_01:Like like Teflon, especially Teflon. Teflon's just plastic. Yeah, we got rid of all almost all our Teflon stuff.
SPEAKER_02:Apparently, black plastic is the worst. Who would have thought?
SPEAKER_06:No, no, he's right. The kitchen, like you know, those kitchen utensils you buy.
SPEAKER_02:There's something in them that's like makes it them worse.
SPEAKER_05:You probably still cut on freaking plastic cutting boards, don't you?
SPEAKER_03:Um yeah.
SPEAKER_06:We have glass. Yeah, I have glass, but I hate them. I've got a wood one and it's so hard. I hate maintaining it and trying to keep it clean in the bacteria. Oh shit. Okay, well, just take out over there.
SPEAKER_02:I cut on gold bars. I started investing in gold bars and I just use them for my cutting board now.
SPEAKER_05:It's pretty soft though. I keep it in line.
SPEAKER_03:How much plastic am I eating with my plastic cutting boards?
SPEAKER_05:Like actually quite a bit. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Your balls are full of microplastics. Oh no.
SPEAKER_05:Your brain is full of microplastics.
SPEAKER_03:Maybe that explains some things. It could explain a few things.
SPEAKER_06:You'd sleep better if you didn't have plastic cutting boards. Maybe it's that diamond dust making you stay up at night. No, yeah. Spun up. There's no there's no perfect thing. What's gonna happen is three years from now or two years from now, there's gonna be things about marble cutting boards and how they're bad for you. We're not gonna win.
SPEAKER_05:I know, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I can go stand in a field and there's like probably 20 things in the field that are that are touching my skin that are carcinogenic.
SPEAKER_02:Mosquitoes.
SPEAKER_05:But shoveling your head into the sand. Hey, don't pigeon toe him into something, okay? Isn't gonna make it better. No. That logic doesn't apply.
SPEAKER_06:We got rid of the plastic containers that are outside. Not bad. We have a couple left. They still are in rotation, but I just want you guys to be better and healthier.
SPEAKER_02:Shovel in hand, head in the sand, everyone.
SPEAKER_06:Shovel in hand, head in the sand. Yeah, that's gonna be really good.
SPEAKER_02:Anyway. Well.
SPEAKER_05:No, I'm good to go. Let's keep going. Let's let's go for another hour.
SPEAKER_02:He's already been checking his phone.
SPEAKER_05:He was he was watching the news. He doesn't go to bed for like three hours. I don't know why we're concerned about it. Bro, it's nine o'clock. You don't have to go to bed for three more hours. I'm gonna text you at 4 30 in the morning when I wake up tomorrow. He's not working. I got my phone on do not disturb. Well, then I'm gonna call you twice and I enjoy it three times.
SPEAKER_06:I enjoy that fact that I can text you at like 5 15 in the morning and I don't even care. It's it's it's refreshing. It's really nice.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, because I'll be there for you.
SPEAKER_06:I actually like that.
SPEAKER_02:Well, he'll be meditating.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, that's a good point. He doesn't get back for a little bit.
SPEAKER_03:Are you texting him? Hey, are you good for a text? Hey, bro, are you good for a text? He's just texting me at you up.
SPEAKER_01:I've done that before.
SPEAKER_03:You up?
SPEAKER_06:Like to who though? Probably nobody here. No. Because we're always up.
SPEAKER_05:Do you understand the reference of you up? It's like, hey, you up, you want to bang? Oh wow.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, I think my my mind didn't go there either, though, and I'm usually the weird one.
SPEAKER_05:So that that's like the oh my god.
SPEAKER_06:Well, I didn't I didn't do a lot of booty calls back in my day. Yeah, me neither. I locked it down when I was like 18, or just like that was it.
SPEAKER_05:You're too busy doing group poops in Vulcan.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, that's weird. So it wasn't weird. So weird. You don't poop in the same thing.
SPEAKER_05:It was equally I listened to that podcast again, and when you started talking about that, I was like, yeah, that's fucking weird.
SPEAKER_06:Well, if it no, seriously, group poop was a thing in Vulcan. You you'd go stop saying that. What? It just doesn't be a group, it could be two of you. Super strange. Two dependent on how many stalls there are. You're not in the same stall.
SPEAKER_02:Thanks for clarifying. Right?
SPEAKER_06:Just letting you guys know. That's good. Okay.
SPEAKER_05:Anyway. Why do you guys why are you in such a rush to end this? Are you uncomfortable with silence?
SPEAKER_06:It's been an hour and a half.
SPEAKER_02:I feel like our listen I feel bad for our listeners if we're sitting here not talking. That's the problem I have with it. If we were just sitting here staring at each other, I'd be okay.
SPEAKER_06:I could do that. I hate silence. Oh, I can't do it because I hate silence in podcasts when I'm listening to silence, when I listen to podcasts. That made no sense fucking sense.
SPEAKER_02:We don't get silence because uh CJ's breathing so hard into the mic that there is no silence.
SPEAKER_05:You know what would be kind of a cool idea is if you when you buy products, you get a small portion of the stock. That would be a cool idea. You know what I mean? Every time I You kind of get that when you buy a stock. Can you buy stock in Zonic? I don't think so. Let's find out. Uh because you I do can I just say I do have a currently have a crippling nicotine addiction. Gotcha. Like it's it's it's relentless. Yeah, you've got to be a bit of a lot of it.
SPEAKER_06:You've touched your container a lot today.
SPEAKER_05:Well, I've I've had two of these in the time we've been sitting here.
SPEAKER_02:Don't do nicotine, kids.
SPEAKER_05:Don't do nicotine. It doesn't it's not cool.
SPEAKER_03:What what what is the actual uh medical benefit from it?
SPEAKER_05:I think it is a neuroprotective thing. Neuroprotecting. I don't know, Greg. Look it up.
SPEAKER_06:I I don't think Look it up. No, it it does, but at the same time, that's not why you're taking it. You're not taking it because oh it's gonna make my
SPEAKER_05:The coding around my neurons stronger tingly and feel good.
SPEAKER_06:Sorry, my is that that weird anime grok again?
SPEAKER_02:No, I don't know why it's talking to me. I don't know why Grok's talking to me.
SPEAKER_06:I feel like you're gonna get arrested with that thing on your own.
SPEAKER_05:This is what I feel sorry for the listeners for.
SPEAKER_02:I'm trying to look something accurate. I'm trying to see if I can get stocks.
SPEAKER_06:You cannot buy Sonic stock. It is a Zonic stock. It is a product, not a company. However, you can invest in British American Tobacco, which owns Zonic.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, what's the stock of British and British American Tobacco?
SPEAKER_06:$36.45 and it's BTI on the New York Stock Exchange.
SPEAKER_05:I think you can buy Zin.
SPEAKER_06:Sometimes I have the answers and I just don't say it.
SPEAKER_05:Zinn, I think you can buy stock in Zinn.
SPEAKER_06:Okay. Is that a is that is that an indication that I should look this up? Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:That was a subtle hint being like, hey bro, can you look up Zinn and tell me if I can buy stock in Zinn? How fast do you listen to your podcasts?
SPEAKER_03:1.2 to 1.5.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, you guys don't you do that? Hey, you speed it up.
SPEAKER_03:I'm at 1.8. Oh shit. But I wonder if you've been able to sleep. I've been able to burn through some long podcasts.
SPEAKER_02:How much are you actually catching? All of it. No, you're there's no way.
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely. If you listen to like the majority of podcasts, they talk so slow, and it just that's why they that's why they take so long. If you burn it down at like 1.8, I can't do it. It's I'm enjoying it.
SPEAKER_06:I can't even imagine burning down some of our conversations on here at a 1.8.
SPEAKER_03:That's the only way I can get through them.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, that's nice to say resonance at the kind of electromagnetic frequency of the earth itself. No, that means modulated VMware.
SPEAKER_06:Is this 5.8 hertz harmonic spiritual frequency? What is that? Low tone. I don't know. I just know the numbers, so like when you get up to 17.
SPEAKER_03:That's normal to me, because I'm that's how I'm using it.
SPEAKER_05:I think if you if you do that completely uninterrupted, you can do it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that's what I'm driving because I can get through almost like an hour podcast in half of an hour.
SPEAKER_05:1.5 is usually where I like.
SPEAKER_03:I went to 1.5, but then I started pushing the limits.
SPEAKER_05:You're gonna be at two here real soon. What do we got? Is two as fast as we can go? Here, let's let's see what two sounds like.
SPEAKER_06:It's just a thousand, not thousands, but twenty herself is loading here, it's like a low base time. So I guess they're being generated by some sort of machine, which doesn't sit here on.
SPEAKER_05:It's not that bad.
SPEAKER_06:It's not retaining it. You're not listening to those words.
SPEAKER_02:I am like I think you're just hearing noise at that point. No. I listened to audiobooks at 1.2, but that's the only thing I speed up.
SPEAKER_06:1.2 is a decent that's a decent difference.
SPEAKER_02:Like you don't notice a difference, but it's just you don't notice that difference.
SPEAKER_03:When you go back to the back of the dead time and the air, like the dead air, it speeds that up. When you go back and then they're talking like really slow, and you're like, I tried that because I was listening to a podcast with my wife and she put it on 1.2, and I was like, oh, this is painful.
SPEAKER_02:Does it make so in normal conversations now or are you just like, will you please talk faster? No, not at all.
SPEAKER_03:It's just uh when you're trying to get through something in a hurry. It's helpful.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I don't know if I'm always but I feel like I'm trying to digest information, not trying to get through it in a hurry. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06:Like I'll try to like podcast sometimes, just to think about the points they're talking about. Yeah, if they bring up something like, oh, and while I think about it, I pause it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Interesting.
SPEAKER_02:Or like I'll re- I'll re-listen to podcasts.
SPEAKER_06:I think you just hear podcasts, you don't listen to them. I feel like I think that's one and the same. I think you're right.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Like you don't you don't absorb the information.
SPEAKER_06:It goes in your ears, but you don't listen.
SPEAKER_03:You know, it's just like that's one and the same. It's not good.
SPEAKER_06:No, hearing and listening are completely different.
SPEAKER_03:Comprehension. That's okay, maybe you're not. Oh, yeah, okay. Another layer. I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:I I that's that's you don't listen to these things like trying to go to bed with a podcast at 1.8. Maybe that's why you can't sleep. Driving, just driving and walking my dog, and I can get through solo, solo stuff.
SPEAKER_07:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:So if you got if you have if you have it on with like people around, are you like you're gonna do it dishes or something? No.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I'm always headphones in. Uh so I also put it on in when I'm doing dishes as well.
SPEAKER_02:It's it's kind of AirPod Um cancellation is so good. It's super new AirPods, and they're like, I I is there new AirPods? Um the ones that you got. No, the ones you have. Oh like their ability to like to cancelate cancel sound is just amazing, and then you can turn it to the other one where you can actually hear everything around you. Super, super good.
SPEAKER_05:I haven't had AirPods that have worked in almost two. Oh, the new ones are a game changer. I just put them on. Yeah, it probably drives people the gym nuts. I just turned my phone on speaker and but I thought you don't get that as like quality.
SPEAKER_03:You don't get like hyped up, you can't hear the bass, and like the it's part of the experience of like taking it in.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, maybe.
SPEAKER_01:Is my phone still talking?
SPEAKER_06:Sorry, I think my phone was still talking. You play your phone, you just set your phone down at the gym and play. I saw you do that once and I thought you were doing it like sarcastically to bug people.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, it probably does bug people.
SPEAKER_06:No, yeah, well, it didn't bug anyone because we all had headphones in. Oh, that's all that's crazy.
SPEAKER_05:I'm gonna take advantage of all this empty space in here with all this noise. I you know what bugs people at the gym is people not wearing fucking shoes.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, that's weird. I'll give you that. I did uh like yeah, I take off my shoes sometimes for deadlifts.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, but if you go to the gym, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I wear shoes and socks.
SPEAKER_05:Not a what was on the feet though, socks? Just sock footed? Yeah, with like like floppy sweatpants kind of underneath.
SPEAKER_06:But what were they doing? Deadlifts or something like squats?
SPEAKER_05:Treadmill to start. Squid socks? Yes. Yeah, and maybe they forgot their shoes. Yeah. Treadmill? Yeah, bro. I I apprehend if I if I br if I bring you as a guest to my gym and you don't show up with shoes, you sit watching. I'm not you not getting in.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:You sitting on the bench watching me lift, bro.
SPEAKER_06:But you could lift without shoes. Like you could do like squats and deadlifts without shoes, right? That's a thing, right?
SPEAKER_05:So but I I set my shoes neatly beside the platform. Okay, that's when I'm done deadlifting, I put my shoes neatly back on my feet. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Did a boys workout on the weekend. Took my kids to our gym, which was awesome. They got to see a couple of the men at our gym that are massive and they were very impressed. And then yeah, it was it was a it was a blast. And uh Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Something else I never did with my parents.
SPEAKER_06:I never did it with my parents, and this and my kids the two boys really enjoyed it because uh my wife wanted to go to the farmer's market, and we're just like, no, so they she took the daughter. But uh, I think it's gonna be a weekly thing. I had so much fun, and I think it's it's pretty acceptable at our gym to bring.
SPEAKER_03:Did you hang from with one hand from the no?
SPEAKER_06:I didn't do that. We did pull-ups, but uh that was two-handed, obviously. And assisted, you know.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I I like seeing people bring their family members to the gym. Just not to the change room.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, whatever.
SPEAKER_05:Just put shoes on. That's all I that's all we ask. The shoes are weird. Uh, it's just it that one got me.
SPEAKER_06:So if you're wearing white with their white socks, no, they were like like dirty white socks.
SPEAKER_05:They're like dirty gray socks.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, they were really after the treadmill, they'd be so gross.
SPEAKER_05:Also, what happens if your little flippity floppity sweatpants get caught up in the it'd be hilarious. No way. Hilarious until somebody asks the question, so about insurance.
SPEAKER_02:Hilarious. Have you seen that video?
SPEAKER_06:It's hilarious.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:So you you can't buy Zen either, it's just the same thing. Philip Morris International sells Zen and that's what you buy for. Well, international though, not uh not uh the other one. Big tobacco. Yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, is that big tobacco? Is Philip Morris International Big Tobacco? Big Tobacco. Oh, no, they're they're doing pretty well by the looks of it.
SPEAKER_05:So well, it's because they pivoted from cigarettes to nicotine pouches, and then they've got us. And then flavored. Yeah, they got us.
SPEAKER_04:Fuck, they got us.
SPEAKER_02:Uh today before this podcast, I climbed up on a roof, and it was quite hilarious to see uh somebody in this room like terrified. Terrified. Terrified. Of like you falling? Was it yeah? It wasn't even it wasn't even him going up the ladder, and he's like, oh, oh my god. First off, like you had the ladder like vertical.
SPEAKER_05:It wasn't.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, but you were in the bottom. I was. Yeah, you're good.
SPEAKER_05:You were comfortable with it. I trust your experience. You have much more experience than I do with it.
SPEAKER_02:The only case the only thing that was uncomfortable, so I get up on so he has a slight, slight leak on one of his uh roof vents. I don't really know why, but I just tar the crap out of it. We'll see if it worked. Anyway, while I'm up there with the tar gun, a hawk, or is it a hawk? It was a hawk. A hawk starts dive bombing me on the peak of his roof, like dive bombing me. And it was messed up there? I don't I looked around, I couldn't see anything, and it got close a couple times, and I was like, Slick yelling at it to try to get because it was like coming hot and uh and they would kind of go up, but then it would just be circling, rah, and then it's like woo came back at me, and then this lot one time it went into the sun. I couldn't see where the hell it was in the last minute. I saw it, and it was it felt like it was like three feet away from my head. Do you think it did that on purpose? Yes, into the sun? Yeah, good tactic. Yeah, it was uh freaky, and then it called in a buddy, and there's two of them swarming. Luckily, I was working the angles gun.
SPEAKER_05:Why do you not why are you not afraid of heights? That's nothing to be afraid of. I don't know. Well, death.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, falling, dying. Um, I have done some crazy things uh with uh doing construction. Like we built a house in uh Minneapolis once that was three stories high, so it was uh 10 foot on the main floor, nine foot, eight foot, and then it had a 45 degree pitch, so like uh like 12-12. So then I was I was building the peak on the top of the thing. So I was probably 10, 19, uh I was probably close to 40, 45 feet. Uh, and like you had to you had to hand build those peaks because they came flat. Um because they're too the rafters are too big to try, they didn't come as like a full peak. So you have to hand bomb building the peaks in. And you're harnessed in though. No.
SPEAKER_03:No, no.
SPEAKER_02:To what? What am I harnessed to? Like some of the wood that you're standing on? Nothing. No, we I almost literally never used harnesses ever. Um wow. And like, and I remember standing up there. There's been a couple times where I was standing up there, I was like, this could go really but really bad. Uh, but it was cool. I I just got used to it. Or like uh framing walls, and like uh you're f you're framing a second story wall over a walkout basement, and you're walking along the two by six on the outside of the wall as you're framing it. Like it's just that's just normal. Like I've fallen off a couple roofs before. I actually think you've told that story on this one of these podcasts. A couple times uh luckily it was a garage that wasn't super high, and I just started like it was it was um frosty on it, and I was trying to sweep the frost off, and it's just like and my feet went out, and I started like I tried to like splay out, and I was like, it wasn't slowing down, I was speeding up as I was going down the roof, and uh I had a scaffold and then uh a scaffold, two two scaffold high with a sawhorse on top, and that's how I had gotten up. So then I was like, okay, I'm not stopping. So I was like as I went flying down, I I jumped because I couldn't slow myself and I wasn't gonna be able to stop on the scaffold. So I jumped, I put one foot on the um sawhorse, then I kind of like did it last like jumped off of that to keep going to miss the scaffolding so I don't get caught in that. Jumped over the scaffolding and then did like a dive roll, and I was completely fine. It was weird.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:So it's like some Jason Bourne shit. Yeah, it's awesome. I wish I would have had it on video, but it's like a couple times I've fallen off some roofs.
SPEAKER_05:If if that happened to you today, though.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, up here, I would have been screwed in your roof. Your roof's really very tall. No, like if that exact thing just happened to this body. I'd like to think I'd still be agile enough.
SPEAKER_06:You could be agile, but you you probably end up with a little bit of a back end of that.
SPEAKER_02:It's weird how age, like I don't feel different, and I I I feel like I'm in still good shape, but it's just funny how like your age and like joints and stuff just aren't the same. Yeah. It's like right now for you to ask me to go full out sprint, I think I'd probably pull a hammy. Like if it was like you have to do a hundred meters and you're racing against some like young kid who thinks he can beat you, like, no, there's no way he's beating me.
SPEAKER_06:You still beat all your kids in a race, you think? Oh yeah, easily. Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah.
SPEAKER_05:How many more how many years do you think you got till you?
SPEAKER_03:My my boys are fast. Yeah?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Like, like obviously, distance you have you have the advantage, but like a like a 50 meter sprint. Oh yeah, I get smoked. I'm still I'm still winning. You're still winning, eh? Oh yeah. Like, well, my daughter's the oldest. She's a little lot of stuff.
SPEAKER_02:She's athletic. She she's it's a female.
SPEAKER_06:Okay, that's fair.
SPEAKER_02:That's fair. But she's she's lighter. She's she's very athletic, but like, yeah, no, I beat her in a sprint. Uh my 12-year-old, I can for sure beat, but if I think if he actually started training and doing other things, he'd be hard to beat, but he's uh he'll be fast.
SPEAKER_06:I wonder how badly I'd beat my wife in a 50-meter sprint. I'm gonna find out.
SPEAKER_02:You're gonna get net with broken legs.
SPEAKER_06:No, no. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Oh, I beat her.
SPEAKER_02:I just don't know, like, yeah, you beat her, and then you'd be like, I can't go to work for three weeks because my make you feel like a big man. I'll do it, I'll do it on a Friday. Hey honey, come out here. Yeah, I got something to show to you.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, let's do that. Last week we did a bunch, we got in this uh our oldest was kind of make he said, Oh, I learned this stuff at uh taekwondo, and so he's bringing it up. I'm like, that is not gonna work ever. Taekwondo. Taekwondo. Not gonna work ever, and so I pulled up McDojo for him and started showing McDojo, and then we just started doing all the McDojo stuff on each other and all that stuff. And uh how's the qi? How's the qi work? It was very good. Yeah. But yeah, then we got into some real stuff, and it was it was a shit ton of fun. And uh, my wife got a little competitive, and now I'm my goal is to beat her at everything physical that I can find.
SPEAKER_02:So this 50-meter race is gonna be a nice little Is there doubt in your mind that you could beat her most physical things? We we talked about it here.
SPEAKER_06:We can't figure out a thing that she would beat me at, but she's trying to figure it out.
SPEAKER_05:Okay. I don't know whether like a physical thing?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Yeah. Sit ups sit-ups? Yeah. Uh sit-ups could be it, yeah. Sit-ups could be it. That would be something we'll put on the on the agenda. Uh, they're in our last wall sits. No, I got I got her on the wall sits. Yeah, but you got a bad knee. I do, but like you can kind of favor one side on a wall sit a little bit.
SPEAKER_02:Actually, that's the that's the the trick to wall sits. Is you kind of you kind of put pressure on the one side, relax the other side, switch to the other side, kind of even and go back away.
SPEAKER_04:Why has nobody ever told me that?
SPEAKER_02:I don't know. Makes sense. Yeah, like it's it's just that that's the trick. You can last quite a long time if you just kind of put more weight on the one than the other.
SPEAKER_06:Look what your wise beat you physically. Nothing. Like nothing at all. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Well, yeah, I I think, yeah, you're right. Right now you're probably right. Yeah, 100%.
SPEAKER_05:And that'll be the case forever. Well, it's pretty confident because he's a man. Pretty confident.
SPEAKER_02:Because he's a man.
SPEAKER_06:I'm I'm I'm literally just thinking about what your wives would beat you at. I can't uh there's that silence.
SPEAKER_01:I can't think of anything.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, men are awesome, eh? Oh my god. No, I think all the female listeners who's never gonna listen again.
SPEAKER_06:Well, we we had uh Malls. I don't like that. Malls could beat me at produce everything physically. Yeah, malls could no just Molly.
SPEAKER_05:She could beat you at everything. Yeah, beat you at everything. Like there's nothing to do.
SPEAKER_06:I think there are probably one or two things. Bench press? Like what? It would have to be a stationary exercise that literally only involved one muscle, only one muscle group. Yeah, exactly. Right. That's the only way.
SPEAKER_02:Maybe bench press. Maybe maybe. That's your phone talking.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, we're good. Okay, thanks for listening to that. Yeah, family member calling up. Why are you guys taking so long on your podcast? I'm not letting it because uh CJ wants to go longer.
SPEAKER_05:I just like talking and I'm okay with a little bit of silence.
SPEAKER_01:Uh but we're gonna wrap this up because I need to go home and uh work tomorrow morning. So does Tony because Tony needs to get up early. He's not working tomorrow. He's on holiday.
SPEAKER_05:Even more reason to get up early. And you gotta leave tomorrow, so you want your brain to be like, I got a lot on my plate. A lot of planes in the air. You don't want them to collide. Air traffic controller working hard, working over. Did you hear about that plane that was hijacked in Vancouver yesterday?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. It was it was not in the airport, wasn't it? Or was it on a well?
SPEAKER_05:Some dude booked a flight on like a tiny little Cessna in Victoria, and then when the pilot got out to the plane, the guy pulled a knife on the pilot and was like, I'm taking this plane. So then Buddy got on the plane and flew it to Vancouver and was flying it around the airport in Vancouver as some form of protest against oil. Good job. Yeah, he's not he's not burning any gas. Yeah, the argument immediately falls flat on space, but they had to divert a bunch of planes, and I think there was could they just shoot it out of the air? I think that was like good guy was coming.
SPEAKER_06:Good guy was still in there, right? Like it was a hostage kind of thing?
SPEAKER_05:No, no, he took it by himself. I think he took it by himself. Oh, just yeah, shoot it out of the plane. Whatever. Yeah, just just one little sidewinder missile.
SPEAKER_02:Just shooting like fireworks at it or something, just to see. Yeah, our sweet military and then all their sweet planes.
SPEAKER_05:They also sent a Cessna.
SPEAKER_02:I was gonna say just trying to get it.
SPEAKER_03:It's coming from Ottawa.
