Speaker 1:

Hey y'all, welcome back to the boys chat. It's just Darren and Tanner with you today. We're gonna excuse Matt and Colby for the day. Just got caught up in life. It happens we stay busy, but today we're gonna be talking about just some thought-provoking questions, some of them a little bit more meaningful, some of them just trying to get a weird conversation started. So feel free to answer these as you drive to work or whatever it is you're doing, when you listen to it, and if you have anything you want to share, make sure you hit us up. We'd love to hear it. Yeah, anything to add with that before we jump into it? Tanner.

Speaker 2:

Make sure you're subscribed, so you can help us out.

Speaker 1:

Help us out, hit that bell like it. Get us all the good stuff. It's great, it doesn't hurt you.

Speaker 2:

Yep.

Speaker 1:

Cool, cool. As I was going over this list, I saw this funny one and I just thought it was like a super random question to be asking. But what would you say is the worst thing about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Is it American classic?

Speaker 2:

I'd say when the ratio of peanut butter to jelly to bread is off.

Speaker 1:

I always think of the same thing. What's? Your ideal ratio, or like what's the worst ratio Too much jelly or too much peanut butter?

Speaker 2:

I'd say too much peanut butter is the worst ratio because it's like you think in peanut butter and jelly, so you need the jelly in there. But it's like if you just like scrape the last little bit of jelly and just you there's barely any on there to consider it A jelly piece of bread and then it's like you just wall up the biggest thing of peanut butter on the other side. So I'd say, if I'd say almost like a slightly more jelly than peanut butter, just because peanut butter it's just like it's overwhelming.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can just ruin it I guess, and it depends on the bread you have as well.

Speaker 1:

With. Some people like to debate that too much jelly on the bread gets soggy. I know some people do like peanut butter on both sides, jelly in the middle. I don't really understand that. I don't understand how you spread jelly on peanut butter, especially if you have to double dip and go back into the jelly jar. It sounds messy.

Speaker 2:

I'd rather have peanut butter in my jelly jar than jelly in my peanut butter jar, though, because more often than not, the only time I use jelly is when I'm making a PB and J, but like peanut butter, if you smear it on toast and I know you can smear like jelly on toast or biscuits or English muffins or what have you I don't typically do that. I only do it on a peanut butter and jelly.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so you'd rather have peanut butter in the jelly jar? You're saying yeah. Yeah, I just think that throws off the ratio so I'm like, eh, ain't about it. Next question is what is like your most irrational fear? Irrational yeah so like there's things to be afraid of, like that's realistic, but then, once they're, just like there's no shot. This ever happens, but it still spooks you when you think about it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I'm trying to think of everything that like I'm like I have a fear of, and all the ones I can think of are like pretty common, you know, like heights for instance. I'm kind of afraid of heights. I'm more afraid of the fall and that feeling and the sudden splat at the bottom. The name of the heights, but it also kind of like varies on what height I'm from and like the nature of the height, if that makes sense, yeah like.

Speaker 1:

If it's like a sketchy, like cliff, and you're like sloped already going towards the drop off, then that gets more sketchy than if it's like flat, like you're on the edge of a building and there's like a three foot wall in between you and the drop.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And it's like you kind of deserve it if you fall off that one, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

All right.

Speaker 2:

Well, man.

Speaker 1:

If you're more scared of the fall than heights, would you ever skydive?

Speaker 2:

See, I go back and forth on that. I'd like to, but at the same time I'm like, if I never get around to it, it's not like oh, oh, darn, you know, it's more like that, Okay.

Speaker 1:

See, I'm like terrified of skydiving, like trying to throw myself out of a plane. That would be so tough for me, but that just makes me want to do it because I'm like I don't want to, not because I'm interested in doing it and I don't want to ever not do something, just because I'm like scared you know Right.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I'd say, one of my most irrational fears is that like a snake is going to come slithering through my pipes and like, oh, okay, I might not swim on the toilet. Okay, all right, like that's a super rare occurrence in.

Speaker 2:

Australia Like nowhere else.

Speaker 1:

I feel like Right, right, okay, yeah. Well, now that you mention it, because I don't like snakes- as is probably my least favorite animal, and then you can throw yourself into that vulnerable situation. Hmm, yeah, dang, all right, now that you mention it, it is a little freaky, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I don't know. Now that you mention it, it is a little freaky. You got no warning on that, that's true, you don't All of a sudden there's had a nowhere.

Speaker 1:

All right, what is something that, across the board, everybody looks stupid doing? Like, no matter who you are, what you're doing you're going to look dumb, or I guess, if you're doing this.

Speaker 2:

Like out in public or like something that's public is. I feel like certain things you do in the bathroom you probably everyone probably looks a little like. If you looked at it from like an outside perspective, you're like, hmm, they look a little funny doing that.

Speaker 1:

You know certain grooming things Landscaping down south yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I feel like that. I guess it wouldn't be weird. It'd just be like huh, that's how you do it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, kind of like clipping toenails. Yeah, especially like the bigger you are, the more awkward it gets, you know, or if you're not flexible.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can have the right angle on it?

Speaker 1:

No exactly.

Speaker 2:

Now publicly. Oh man, I'd probably say certain sports things, like certain stretches that we would do. I'd say you just look a little funny doing it. But no, no, that's a man. These are good, good like conversation starters, but at the same time it's like my mind always blanks when we do stuff like this. Yeah, last questions and stuff. I'm always just like, uh, you know?

Speaker 1:

I'm just thinking of, like Kevin Hart in the like never don't give up, like his Netflix special. It's Kevin James, dude, yeah that's what I said. I just remember. I just remember, other than that, very, very different.

Speaker 2:

Only a little different yeah.

Speaker 1:

Um, anyways, it's like, isn't it that the, that, the one where he's like top five things you're never going to see me do naked.

Speaker 2:

Probably, I think. I think it's that one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the toenails might be on their. Jump was definitely on that, yeah. And then Was moan lawn, was moan the lawn? One too, I think so. Okay, yeah, that's what. That's where my mind went when. I started that question. Oh, this one's good. We're getting to that time in phase in life where people started having babies our age, which is weird. What would be the absolute worst name you could give your child? And it is Utah. There is a variety.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, there's the obvious ones. You know, uh, Shafid would be one. The absolute worst though I mean. Well, legally, you're only legally allowed to name your kid. So many things. There are certain things where you're not actually allowed to name your child. I don't know what those are, but I know there's something. I know there's, I don't know, probably like nutsack.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, then Dover. Yeah, mr Janus, hugh Janus.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, macoconner, comma, barry, I think. I think, well, you can have a horrible first name, but if you already have like a bad last name and your parents are like and then they give you a crappy first name, so you know, kind of we're going to play together.

Speaker 1:

Have I told you Kara's ideas for baby names? Uh-huh, we have a daughter. She hates the name Ella, but she really wants to name a daughter, ella. That would like on the roll. When it reads it backwards, it'll just say Sam and Ella, and then she's like if we have twin boys, finn and Gil. She's like we're obligated to at this point Finn and Gil, sam and yeah, so we'll see. We'll see what ends up happening there For marketing reasons.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, what. What bad combinations can you do with Davis? I feel like it's basic enough. There's not too many right, it's, it's so basic.

Speaker 2:

I don't think you can do anything bad with the last name of Davis. It's such a common last name, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I'm going to put way too much brain power into that? I'm not, I'm not so Bad bad name for your kid. Now I think like flow wise.

Speaker 2:

It might sound a little funny. Um oh, I just thought of one. It's gone, but anyways I think, flow wise. You might get a little caught up on the Davis last name. It was like some first names are a little out there.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

It's like that doesn't sound that good, but then it's like other names. It's like oh yeah, that sounds normal. So.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I feel like anything that ends with VIS can't be partnered with a last name that ends the same way, like Navus or something like that.

Speaker 2:

Navus.

Speaker 1:

Davis, navus Davis. Yeah, you're kind of getting loud, you know. Yeah, true, with the rhyming you know, mm-hmm, yeah, all right. What's the oddest or funniest way you've ever been injured?

Speaker 2:

Oddest or funniest way I've been injured. What do we qualify as an injury, though? Uh, because, like, for example, like a paper cut. Would a paper cut be considered an injury, or is that just like? Let's go, felt pain? Okay, well, they see, paper cuts. Worst place for a paper cut.

Speaker 1:

Anyone Under the fingernail.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, those are bad. Those are bad.

Speaker 1:

Like a cardboard cut down there Um.

Speaker 2:

Hey, that actually A pretty odd way, and the way I always phrase this when I tell people makes it sound even worse than it is. I cut my leg on cardboard. How do you pull that off? How do you do that? But then when I so I was Well, how old was I?

Speaker 2:

13 or 14 maybe and during the summers, before I was of legal working age, we'd go work for a few days with my dad, mm-hmm and those who don't know he does air conditioning and we were on top of I think it was the Kia, the Kia or the Volkswagen dealership. Here. We were working on what's called a swamp cooler, which you got your box right and there's pads on the inside and a big fan and the fan blows down, pulls air from outside, it goes over these pads which have water dripping down, which cools it down, and then it blows it in, but it's really humid, but it's cold air and it goes into like their shops. Anyways, we were switching out these pads or, yeah, we were switching them out, and these particular pads were made of cardboard and the water in that area was pretty crappy, wasn't that clean? And so the water, after it sits on the cardboard for long enough, crystallized, and so the cardboard came out 20 pounds heavier but has all this rock crystal on the outside.

Speaker 2:

So I cut myself on the rock crystal. But it's more fun to say I cut myself on cardboard. So I can't remember what leg it is, but I'm pretty sure I still have a scar somewhere. But it's like it's itty bitty now. But I cut it decent enough to where it started bleeding down my leg. So Dang.

Speaker 1:

When I was about the same age, like 12 or 13, my buddy got like a new road bike he was gonna get super into like biking and everything and I was helping him like open it up. It came like shipped in a big old cardboard box and I grabbed off of the box and I ripped it open and there was like a massive staple or like one side of it was like here were three inches long.

Speaker 1:

It's sliced right down my finger. You can't really see it, but like you can see that line down the middle finger and it's just like it wasn't terrible, like it started bleeding pretty bad and like I actually wore a bandaid which is impressive for me because I hate band aids Like when the bleeding doesn't stop. You do what you got it Right, but like it it didn't hurt, it was just an inconvenience, you know. And then it's scarred and I've got like an inch long scar that just has never faded.

Speaker 2:

I'm like oh that's wild.

Speaker 2:

The only time I use band aids is usually on my hands, like if I cut like a finger or something, then I'll throw a bandaid on it, just because it's like anytime I wash my hands or I'm doing anything like cooking, you know, because more often than not I cut myself while I'm cooking on accident so then it's like I bandage it so that way it doesn't contaminate anything and nothing gets into it. Yeah so, but other than that, like if I cut my arm, it's so okay, I hope the bleeding stops soon.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly so. But oh yeah, no, my family hockey tape. You throw some like or does it like magical? You know, you just call it that. It's like. You know, you throw something out on some toilet paper and then just wrap it in like athletic tape, Wherever it is. I'm just like, nah, it'll get better, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I've used electrical tape before While, like on a job with my dad, you slice your finger. Electrical tape, you're good to go, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And it's I get a lot injured, a lot.

Speaker 2:

I injured myself a lot while I was working for my dad. There was this other time. This one was more recent. This one, I was 18.

Speaker 2:

So this was just a few summers ago and we were up in this attic and the homeowner wanted us to add a vent into another room to push more air, because it was like the hot side of the house. Oh, okay, and we're up in the attic and we had to cut a hole in part of the false roof because, like you build your roof and then, if they, like you, add on, there's another roof that goes up. So there's like a piece of plywood that's right here, that goes with the rest of the roof, but it's not exposed. So we had to cut a little hole in that so we could feed part of this ducting through it. And I'm, you know, scooting down into the corner and as I get closer and closer it goes and it's like yeah, yeah, and up in an attic, typically you don't have a lot of good places to put your feet. You're on the trusses and stuff.

Speaker 2:

So I'm like slowly backing up into this. You know, I'm a bigger guy and I'm getting back there and I'm trying to attach this duct onto a like a T almost, where you can pull one side and then two can go off of it. Okay, yeah. So I'm sitting there trying to get this thing like fitted onto it so I can strap it to it, but it wasn't working for the longest time and I'm like hunched over the whole time and then I'm like, okay, my back's killing me, but my legs are killing me. So I stand up and like hunch myself over more and so, instead of like a squat, I'm just like bent in half, and when I do that, my back goes up right into a nail. Now I mean like a nail from like the roof to hold the roofing on sticking away through the roof, and it poached me right.

Speaker 1:

That's exactly what I said. The roofing in our shed just nails through the whole top.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, it's the worst when it hits you in the head. But it hit me in the back, my lower left or whatever right next to my spine, to kind of give you a point of view and it poked it and it hurt and I was like, ah, so I moved and the nail went and then I like squatted down. I was like oh no, oh no, and I was like I leave what I was doing and I slowly walk over to my dad who was messing with something else and I'm like, ah, I hurt. And I'm like, hey, dad, am I bleeding? I lift my shirt up and the undershirt that I had on at the time it was a white one because insulation, anyways.

Speaker 2:

He was like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of blood. I was like how much? But you gotta, it's like this. It was like this much of it sort of the circle, this undershirt. I'm like, ah, crap, all right. And I'm sitting there like he's like you, okay. I'm like, yeah, he's like how old were you on your tetanus shot? I'm like I don't know. I think I'm good, rusty, rusty now. So I kind of like okay, okay, whatever, whatever. I'm like chilling for a second and then go back to work. So I've got to. I know I have a scar that's like this big on my back now from that.

Speaker 1:

So that was funny, dang. Yeah, I was when I was getting like adjusted by my dad he's a chiropractor and I was like trying to tell him where, like I was feeling the pain. And he was saying, like people say that to him all the time, he just takes it as a grain of salt and I guess in the back there was only like there was way less nerve endings on your back than any other part of your body, so you can be feeling pain like right here, but it's being caused from over here, because this is just the closest nerve ending to send pain sensors. You know. So like you can be like four or five inches off on where the pain is actually coming from, but you're no, I'm feeling it from right here because that's where the sensors getting sent from your brain or to your brain, right, right, I was like well, that's weird.

Speaker 2:

That's way interesting.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was like no, that's above my pay grade. I'll just point and say it safely Howie, howie.

Speaker 2:

Yo, speaking of nerve endings the majority of your nerve endings are in your feet, though, really, and my parents have a neighbor who's a massage therapist and she specializes in that type of massage. So she came over and was helping my mom after my mom had a car accident a few years ago. So she'd come over and like massage, like her neck, because her neck had a pretty bad whiplash, and then she'd go onto her feet and she did on my dad a couple of times and I asked her like hey, like can you do something to my shoulder? Because my shoulder was killing me. So she gets up there, you know she's using like a massage gun, she's like digging into me. I'm like, oh, this feels great. You know, shoulders super tense back. And then she's like all right, take your socks off. I'm like what I was, like I don't want you to touch my feet, like you're okay, don't go down there. And she's like nope, nope, nope, because my dad was like no, I want to see him scream. And I'm like dad, that's horrible, anyway. So I do it. And she's sitting there and she's like massaging for a little bit. It feels good.

Speaker 2:

And then she like hits a certain spot and she's like huh, you know, explained kind of the whole idea of the nerve endings in the feet and she's like I keep like she could tell what was wrong with me just from my feet. She's like do you have something going on with like your lungs, or you're getting over like a cold or anything? I'm like I've got asthma. She goes, yeah, I can tell, cause this right here is like this. And I'm like, huh, so shit in there digging. And then she gets to like my shoulder and she goes oh, yep, there's like your shoulder, that was hurting right there. And she digs into it and it hurts, but it hurts in my feet. I'm like, oh, this is so awesome, right.

Speaker 2:

And then the part that my dad wanted to watch me squeal about was the nerve ending for your groin area. Yeah, your boys that hang down right. She's like, oh, yeah, this is for that. I'm like, oh, please be gentle, please be gentle. And she digs your finger into it and I about scream. It was hurting so bad. But I didn't give my father the satisfaction of hearing me scream. I held it in as best as I could, maybe a whimper here or there, but I held it in and that was just one foot. She went to the next foot same thing. I was like are you gonna be kidding me?

Speaker 1:

I just don't understand it.

Speaker 1:

Yo, did I ever tell you this girl I dated Shelly? She, her mom's a massage therapist. Oh, one time she was like yeah, if you want, like my mom can give you a massage. I was like free massage sounds tempting. But then, like she brings it up again in front of her mom, mom sometime, her mom's like yeah, absolutely. And like oh, I can't remember if it was her mom or Shelly, but she was like yeah, and like if you don't feel comfortable with it, like you can definitely keep your underwear on or whatever. And I was like what, what, what? Oh, my word.

Speaker 1:

You're talking about a nude massage for my girlfriend's mom. Are you kidding me? Let's go Low key. Wish I had done it, just for the story. I never did. I was like nah uh that's like I get. I've always gotten like gnarly knots in my calves and stuff from lacrosse. So I was like, yeah, like even just like workout by like calves and feet, that'd be awesome. But then it just never happened. And like looking back, I'm like, hmm, I'm not gonna pull it and get a mess out on and off.

Speaker 2:

And you were like what? Maybe 18, almost 18, just barely 18.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like I learned how 18 have with her date in her. So that's, that's illegal, definitely gray area. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh boy, oh boy man.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, moving on, that's wild, this one. I feel like I know your answer to it what's the weirdest thing that you've ever eaten?

Speaker 2:

Weirdest.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean straight forward, a worm probably.

Speaker 1:

That's like.

Speaker 2:

The first thing I can think of is a worm. That's what I thought of for you when I read the question For 20 bucks, though let me preface that I did it for money, and 20 bucks I was. That's a lot of money just to eat a worm. Granted, the worm was like this big.

Speaker 2:

Oh dang, she was a wiggling baby and I had to chew it. I was like with how large it was because it was this long, but it was also like a girthier worm, oh really, yeah, it was one of the bigger guys and I was like there's no way I can just down this, like I'm going to throw up trying to down, like just do it. So I had to chew it and it wasn't bad until the very end. I was chomping it and it was just like dirt and earthy and kind of a little gritty. Then, right at the end, when I'm about to just be like okay, a couple more and it's good, yeah, bite into. It's like Did something happen? Yeah, like I popped its intestines or something Layers and just the grossest thing I've ever tasted Just squirt it all over my mouth. I almost gagged there's a video of it somewhere and I almost gagged and I turn around and I walk over to bushes and I'm like I'm getting ready to hurl and then I'm like you got it.

Speaker 2:

You got it. You got it, Turn around, swallow it and you know the 50 kids that were around me were like. I'm like chill out guys, I walk over, got my money Drink some water.

Speaker 1:

That was good. No, I saw the video at some point. I think I had it one spot of time.

Speaker 2:

but oh, 30 minutes later my mother, who was across the country, was like so you ate a worm? Huh, I'm like, how did you know? I'm pretty sure everyone on that trip within 20, 30 minutes found out about that, because I had leaders that weren't even near us later that evening. Oh, I was a worm earlier. I'm like y'all got like a group chat or something that I'm not in. We have all 200 people in it. Seriously, dude, 300.

Speaker 1:

We had 300 people on that. Holy smokes. That's great, no more.

Speaker 2:

We had 350. Okay, because we had 300 youth and then we had four or five adult leaders per bus and we had six buses and then we had a whole another group of leaders in another car. So we had pretty close to probably 350 people on that trip.

Speaker 1:

Okay, my dad was the one driving that Sprinter van, like getting that head of us. He went and bought himself a captain's hat just to be driving that Like captain. But he was like yep.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I remember we had a. We were on the first, the second night, the second night no, the second night when we were rolling into camp we got stuck in a storm. Was our bus broke down a bunch.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, I had there was a tornado warning.

Speaker 2:

There was all this stuff and we were like 10 feet behind that van because our windshield wipers didn't work and so they had their hazards on and we're going like 20 miles an hour down the highway and we're just right behind them. And then we pull up to a Home Depot right before they close and they're like oh, we'll just stay open as long as you guys need to fix your bus and all that stuff. And we didn't want to have to do roll call again, because every time we got off the bus and back on we have to like make sure everyone was with us, yeah. And so like everyone's down the bus, we're just going to be quick, like try and get some sleep, just stay here.

Speaker 2:

And I was like screw that, I'm getting off, yeah. So I walked to the front and I have like water bottles with me, so I start feeling like people's water bottles. And then there was like trash on the bus, so I like grab them, like hey, I'm gonna go throw this away. They're like okay, just come right back, let's go home. So like walking to Home Depot and find a trash can and throw it away, and I'm like out and out there stretching I'm the only kid out there.

Speaker 2:

So, I mean it helped that half the adult leaders I knew personally.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, and we're both 18 at this point, and everybody else was like 14. So we're like I'm gonna do what I want For real. Yeah, that was a wild trip, though. Hmm, I was the wildest thing, you ate.

Speaker 1:

Had to have been in Mexico. There was like two things. One biggest reaction is always dog tacos. Oh yeah, it's a. This person came out with like a platter loaded down with meat. It's just like scuba. It's like it was just like cooked with onions, essentially maybe some peppers. So you just like load up your plate, grab a stack of tortillas and then you're filling it up and chowing down, you know, and if you don't eat like four times the amount a regular person should be able to handle, they think you hate me anymore. Yeah, exactly. So I'm just like chopped down on halfway through my plate. They're like that's dog, by the way, and I was like, haha, it broke in Spanish. I'm like I'm going to pretend you didn't say that so I can finish.

Speaker 2:

I bet that was rough.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, real rough. It's a pretty furry situation. Oh man, the other thing would probably be like pig head soup we think of like a pig's head. How much meat is on there? The walk, no like next to zero is just fat.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, they just like sliced it up. It was like little. Like you know, the gravy mixes and cubes like that size of just fat, just like loading in a broth. They just scoop a big old bowl of that. That was the hardest one to get down. I, that's the only thing I didn't ever get down in Mexico. I got like halfway through and I was like I'm full and they're like do you want dessert? And I was like yeah.

Speaker 2:

Bring us some bracelet, cheesecake or something.

Speaker 1:

Yo, even the cakes there sucked. It was wet. You could eat those cakes with a straw.

Speaker 2:

Well yeah, bracelet cheesecake, it's a dense milk cake. It's supposed to be like that.

Speaker 1:

Well, it didn't matter what kind of cake it was, if it did I'll on the plate. It wasn't cooked right, apparently, and I was like, oh help me.

Speaker 2:

I mean it needs to be moist, but drippings are the next level.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. One other would always say you need a fork to eat the cake and a straw to eat the cake and I was like, yeah Is what it is. I was kind of hoping Colby would be here for this question. What old person tendencies do you feel like you have?

Speaker 2:

Oh boy, my answer is close to his going to bed early these last few nights, man, it's like, oh, what day was it? This is a couple of days ago? It was like 8 30, and me and Cam look at each other and we're just the both like, like are you tired? Like I'm tired, I'm like it's only 8 30. Oh, man, get into bed at like 9 30. Oh, it's phenomenal.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of nice. I feel good in the morning. Actually I don't Okay. Well, yeah.

Speaker 2:

It is what it is, I'd say probably my back.

Speaker 1:

Oh my knees. Yeah, I think just like getting tired, like when you're trying to pull a female, you can hang and like have the energy to do whatever you want, like when you're in that dating phase right, it's like you get married and it's like or like the whole curfew idea.

Speaker 2:

It's like, oh, you have to be home by this time, but you want to be out later, just because it's like, oh, I have to be here by then, so I want to stay out till this time, which is later, just because it's like, you know, there's a rebel in all of us, I guess, but now it's like I don't have a curfew, so I want to be home at nine o'clock.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, one of the other questions was like what was it? What was the funniest excuse you ever used to get out or like leave a party early? I just thought of Jim from the office. He's like not bragging or anything but New Year's Eve. I was home by 9.30.

Speaker 2:

I don't go to parties. We never went to parties in high school either, so I don't have an excuse.

Speaker 1:

We just want to read Robin at 11 in the morning and then go hop in Brevin's pool. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then do other things later in the night. You know a little less legal but we're not going to incriminate ourselves. We have is what it is Right, all right.

Speaker 1:

Well, we're looking at the past. What's one of the most embarrassing phases you ever went through, like probably middle school?

Speaker 2:

I had that bow tie that I wore.

Speaker 1:

That was middle school.

Speaker 2:

That was middle school. Just to preface that I wore a red bow tie every day, no matter what, on a T-shirt, on a T-shirt, on a whatever. Always wore it. So now I will say I believe it was eighth grade, it was eighth or ninth grade, it was eighth grade. It was eighth grade For picture day. I had a button up shirt that actually looked pretty decent with the bow tie and I passed that bow tie around to like five or six other people because they wanted it. So I was like waiting. I'm like, oh, here you go, here you go, you know, passing it out to people. It got passed around and then it got passed to people and that year put that on Nice. So clearly it was hip, I was cool.

Speaker 1:

I remember for the health class we were doing posters of the different eating disorders and everything. My group was bulimia and we just drew this big old fat dude and we got a package of skittles and matched them up and then just put them in a Ziploc bag and stapled it to his mouth to look like it was puke coming out, you know. But we like we're drawn like a big old bow tie on him. And then our teacher was like no, you guys can't do a bow tie. And I was like why not? And then she's like well, like I have this other student and I don't want him to think and you're making fun of it, tanner. I was like, nah, no, we're cool, he's my buddy. She's like all right, go for it. What teacher?

Speaker 2:

Oh, Mrs Hen.

Speaker 1:

The super chill health teacher.

Speaker 2:

Oh, was she like the coach. Was she a coach?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I used to be like a ski boom.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, I know who that is oh my gosh, whatever her name was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I remember her, but yeah she was super chill.

Speaker 2:

I remember doing presentations in her class and we got graded based on the class. Like the class would grade us, like they'd hold up one to five fingers, you know. Everyone was pretty much just like the whole time, right, and we had a killer presentation man. That was when, like we were all getting into PowerPoints, we had a class on it, so it was like every single slide had a transition and every single thing on the slide had a transition. Yeah, right, and then we got full points was because at the very, very end, or almost the end, for whatever reason, we threw in a clip from what does the Fox say? The music video, for whatever reason. We had that in there so it would automatically play when you got to the slide. And then there's like we listened to it for a second and then she like changed the slide and it was like, oh, the end. That was the only reason we didn't get full points. I mean, we got like 95.

Speaker 1:

You're chilling, I think my worst phase, or like most embarrassing magic I remember when you doing that? Yeah, got big into the magic for like seventh and eighth grade.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, when I was wearing my bow tie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I was Holy. Yeah, I still know like a crap ton of magic tricks and like some sleight of hand and everything and I'm like nah, nah don't do it I still have my bow tie.

Speaker 2:

I still have it in my closet. It's with all my other ties.

Speaker 1:

For me it's like only whenever we like start playing games and everything does like the magic show through, because I'm like shopping carts, right, and it's like doing like splitting it and like cutting it and doing stuff. That's just like right, totally above average. People are like why are you so good at that? And then, like anybody that knows me is like he does magic. Magic. Is your car there? It's been seven years. Yeah, that was me. Good old Braden McCoy got me into that.

Speaker 2:

Nice.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I remember he like when he transferred to whatever school we were in, like sunrise, like my third period teacher, right before lunch, was like hey, like show breaking around like of Malapia's friend. I was like okay, so like then we go to lunch and then we get our food, we eat it, and he's like what is the magic trick? And he starts like laying out cards and I was like look around, I was like no, no, not here. Then I like fast forward like six months and I was doing the same thing.

Speaker 2:

Oh man, that's cool yeah.

Speaker 1:

That was an era.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was Back during simpler times, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like what old days? Yeah, well, speaking about present days, if you were to name this chapter in your life, what would it be called? And then, while you're thinking about it, what's like the? What would you name the whole book about your life? I?

Speaker 2:

don't know. Two brain cells, two brain cells.

Speaker 1:

Well, again this left, I guess.

Speaker 2:

All right.

Speaker 1:

All right, yeah, that's it. Yeah For a naming a chapter. I'm like character development, yeah, or like villain backstory, something.

Speaker 2:

The start of my villain arc. Yeah, yeah, honestly, I got lucky because I was born in 2000. All right, you barely missed the cutoff. Granted, I barely made the cutoff. Yeah, but you know, it's like all right. So, this year one because I was one in 2001. So now it's 23.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the chapter is my birthday, so it's a simple Mm-hmm. All right, all right, let's see If you could teleport anywhere in the world and I'd say, and spend a week there. Okay, where would?

Speaker 2:

you go, do I instantly get teleported back?

Speaker 1:

Yes, okay. And you're going to leave in 24 hours so you, like you, can prep and do whatever you need to.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

And then you teleport for a week.

Speaker 2:

Hmm, you know being a Disney guy, initially my first thought would be Disneyland. But if I don't have a ticket, what's the point? That and that's fairly accessible. It's more realistic without doing that.

Speaker 1:

So I must say you could go like Disney World in Florida, or isn't there one in, like China or Japan?

Speaker 2:

It is one in Tokyo, hong Kong, shanghai, florida, anaheim and then Paris. Okay.

Speaker 1:

And international Disney would be cool.

Speaker 2:

True, true, but I'm going to have to say probably Lake Como, italy.

Speaker 1:

You say Lake Como. Uh-huh, okay, parts of Star.

Speaker 1:

Wars were filmed there, so Ah, that's why you know about it. Yeah, all right. All right, check this out. It's super, super pretty there. Yeah, I'm thinking I do either like Iceland, just because that's pretty high up on my list, or China. Okay, I don't know, I feel like I'm going to make it to Iceland before I make it to China. So, right, yeah, just like with the traveling care and I have done, we're like she obviously wants to go back at some point and like visit the homeland. So I'm like, yeah, absolutely, but that's going to be an expensive trip, like Russia In Italy. What was that Like?

Speaker 2:

Russia.

Speaker 1:

No China.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's what you meant by homeland. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Her homeland.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was like motherland, the fatherland, or what are we talking about here?

Speaker 1:

God, just go back to her birthplace and everything. See the Great Wall and all of that. But we're like we really just slummed it all about traveling on a budget. You know Some sketchy places we've stayed and we just go to countries where we don't speak the language and we just BS our way through it, like Greece and Italy. Right, we were winging that whole trip, you know. But it worked out. It was like China, she's like no shot and I'm like, yeah, we aren't doing it without a tour guide, like we're going to be a group doing the tourist stuff because it's where it's safest, yeah, and like Italian, it's close enough to Spanish. I could like read stuff, you know.

Speaker 2:

And chances are. Unless you're like deep into countries like that, like if you're in the more touristy areas, chances are someone speaks a little English, even if it's broken enough to kind of communicate. Yeah, I guess you guys went there. Did you guys find a lot of English speakers?

Speaker 1:

Most of Greece speaks English, just because, like, greek is pretty much dead, you know. And then in Italy, the farther south you get, the less English there is. You know, there's a lot of touristy areas, right, like Rome. You can pretty much always find the English. But the farther south you get, the more, like, culturally Italian it is. Oh, okay, the farther north you get, the closer you are to the rest of Europe, right, and this is the universal language, pretty much. So, yeah, it was cool though.

Speaker 2:

Cool. I mean you speak two of the most popular languages in the world, english and Spanish. So yeah, and then the Latin language, and then you need like Mandarin and French, then you pretty much got the top five covered.

Speaker 1:

I would love to speak Mandarin and then, like when we go over to China and then everyone look at Karen she's Chinese and trying to talk to her, and then I'd be answering for her and I'd be her translator. I'd be like, yeah, let's go. That'd be funny. That'd be funny. Yeah, that's like my soul, motivational, but it's too complicated, that's not happening, that's straight.

Speaker 2:

It is.

Speaker 1:

All right, last one before we finish up. Unless this one tanks, then I've got one other. What is the weirdest thing that you find attractive in a person? Oh, and I swear if you say feet. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2:

I don't understand how people can find feet attractive. I don't Like I'll rub cams feet, but nothing more than that. And then she was like I can rub your. She was like can you rub my feet? And I'm like, yeah, fine, whatever, like, and it's like a long day, I'm, you know, tired or whatever. She's like I'll rub yours. I'm like, no, no one touches my feet, I barely touch my own feet, exactly. And then, like I wash you know, like obviously I wash my feet, you know, but it's like put socks on that, that's it, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Even like around us, you will rarely see my feet out Like socks go on immediately, unless I'm going to bed. Right, yeah, so it's not a turn off. No, it's a turn off, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Again the things I'm thinking of. It's like, the more I talk to people about things like this, the more and more I find that it's not as uncommon as I initially thought, Right Cause there was that set of questions that we used to ask, like all the guys, and it was like weirdest turn on, biggest turn on it and all of their stuff. And mine was always like, oh, my ears, you know. It's like, oh, you're kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing. All of a sudden they do something to your ear and it's like, ooh, you know. But I found that's pretty common amongst at least the people I associate with, I'm like so maybe it's not that weird then you know.

Speaker 2:

So, a little nibble on the ear. Yeah, sorry, mom, I know.

Speaker 1:

I feel like I use the nibble on the ear a lot more than it gets used on me, like yeah, I don't know, but yeah, something like that it's like.

Speaker 2:

I find that I initially thought that was pretty weird, but then, talking to more people, it's not that weird. So it's like oh, what's something I find attractive and that's weird? I would initially say someone that can like dish out teasing but also take it. Yeah, Because I've, you know, I dated a couple of people where they could dish it out, but as soon as it flips, it's like the smallest amount, yeah, it's like shut down, stop. I can't handle it. Like it just gets into a bad mood. I'm like what?

Speaker 1:

I was just a jist of the energy you were giving me. Seriously, all right.

Speaker 2:

Like when I would get teased by, like my family. They'd like stand up for me and I'm like chill out.

Speaker 1:

Like I can take it, I'm fine. That's what families do, all right.

Speaker 2:

So, but I'm not sure if that's weird, because I feel like that's pretty common. You know, it's like if you're going to dish, you better be able to take it, type of deal.

Speaker 1:

I think it's not super weird. For me either, it's just like being down to do weird stuff and not like in the bedroom.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Not only in the bedroom, yeah, but no, like I just like doing new things and like, honestly, if it sounds weird to do it, I'm super down. I was just talking the other day. I went on this date with a girl and I was like I have no idea what to do but Harman's is still open so we can buy some dry ice and I know where we can find a palette to go have a fire in the desert. And you want to just go mess around with dry ice and she's like okay. I was like oh cool, that's a weird date, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I feel like a lot of people that are curious. Well, hold up. Clearly you're that way, I know I'm that way where it's like I don't want to not do something. It's like oh, I've never done that before. I think it's weird. It's like but I'm not going to know if I don't like it unless I try it. Yeah, I'm open to trying.

Speaker 2:

whatever it is, wherever it is, you know for the most part if some things I'm like that's a little past the line, a little too far past the line. Yeah, that's like yeah, kid now. But like hey, you never know unless you try it right. Same with like foods. I think that's why I'm so open to eating weird things. It's like, well, maybe I'll like it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's fair. So, yeah, like I was chatting with a buddy, he stopped telling me about he and his friends in high school used to go and get like traffic cones and then you could like don't just like a little bit of like gas inside them and like you swirl it around and then you can light it on fire and I guess it makes it a solution. Yeah, I was like I'm down, what are we doing? I was like, yeah, get me up sometime.

Speaker 2:

I was like okay, I will, you can do it. You can do it with those big like five gallon water jugs, oh yeah, and you flip over into the machines or whatever. Uh-huh, you know that's empty and you got the top off and you put a little bit of like rubbing alcohol in it yeah, or what have you, and you like swirl around so like the whole thing gets coated. You can light the top because the fumes are coming out. So you light the top and it goes like down the sides and it gets to the bottom. It's like the top is like the fumes are escaping and all this stuff. That's pretty cool. I've done that with a glass before. Probably not the smartest with a glass, because if it does explode you're done, but I did it with a glass.

Speaker 1:

All right, so it's like a glass bottle.

Speaker 2:

Try the glass bottle and try to, and lit the top and it would sit there and like look like the candle, like a candle. The top was lit and then it would go down and go just like a little tiny one, because I didn't use a lot and it wasn't that big of a glass. So that's why the big ones make such like a big noise, because there's so much volume where, as you use something small, it's not going to give you as big of a boom.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you can use more liquid because it's more surface area to spread it out. Makes sense, so Cool, yeah, I think we'll stop there for today, but, yeah, thanks for listening y'all. If you like any of these conversation starters, feel free to use them on your next Thursday, next road trip, whatever it is. Give us a follow, a like, share it with any buddies and we'll catch you next time. Bye, bye.
