Confronting Intriguing Conundrums: Would You Rather and Pondering Afterlife -- The Boys Chat #42
Imagine being able to soar through the sky or seamlessly blend into the world unseen? Which would you choose: flight or invisibility? In our latest podcast episode, we grapple with this conundrum and many more as we delve into another round of our much-loved game, Would You Rather? We don't just stop at flying or invisibility, we also explore deeper contemplations, like the implications of never having to sleep or eat again, or the potential advantages of always telling the truth versus always lying.
Think about this: what if you could visit any fictional world you’ve ever dreamt of or wield extraordinary powers? We dive into these fascinating scenarios discussing the opportunity to spend a week in the realms of Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings. And it gets even more intriguing as we ponder over the repercussions of gaining the power to enter other people's dreams, revive extinct species, bring joy to others with a single touch, or instantly learn any skill.
Now, let's take a trip into the unknown as we mull over the concept of the afterlife and atheism. How would the certainty of an afterlife, but the inability to share it, reshape our perceptions of life? Conversely, what if we were never to know what happens after death? We debate the appeal of atheism and ponder if peace of mind is possible without definitive proof of an afterlife. As we push the boundaries of our imagination and confront these intriguing possibilities, we invite you to join us for a thought-provoking and entertaining episode.
Alright, welcome back everyone. Back to the boys chat. You got Darren, colby and Tanner with you here today. Today's topic we're going to do another, would you rather? We've done this a couple times now, but this time we're also going to do press the button. And if you guys don't know what that is, it's press the button and you get something, but something else happens at the same time, so you can only get the one thing at the other thing.
Speaker 2:You know well it'll make more sense when we get there. I regard that. You like pushing buttons, don't you?
Speaker 1:Alright, let's start our subscription to Lego. I don't need the button.
Speaker 3:Don't matter.
Speaker 1:Alright, alright, first up, would you rather have the ability to fly or be invisible being?
Speaker 2:visible. I feel like that's a very easy choice for me. Then you just hide and nobody can find you.
Speaker 1:Listen in on conversations when you sneaking into Colby.
Speaker 3:I feel like you're like a chameleon you just like disappear as is.
Speaker 2:You know well, it works out for me either way, I mean be invisible to just because flying's overrated the you know he's flying up Well well, let's, let's, let's think logically about it, right?
Speaker 1:Let's assume flying is probably, I would imagine it's something kind of like sprinting or running, where it takes effort. It's not just a you're done, and I'd imagine being invisible is the same thing, but it's more of a mental drain. Okay, then a physical drain, because it's like flying.
Speaker 3:It's like you obviously have to trade your exerting something.
Speaker 1:Eating beans.
Speaker 2:Who knows what it is spinach, right.
Speaker 1:So it's like obviously you'd have to that and if you're flying you crash, you'd have to have thick skin, be almost invincible, because if you crash hard, you flying way up high and you crash into something or fall like you're going to hurt yourself, whereas invisible it's, you're just invisible.
Speaker 3:Right, do your clothes go invisible?
Speaker 1:No, that's lame, Unless you're wearing special things. It's like the invisible woman from Fantastic Four.
Speaker 2:Oh, I was thinking Incredibles, incredible. Same thing, yeah it is. I guess it's true.
Speaker 1:I guess part. I guess it depends, but I think for the most part.
Speaker 3:No, she had like the suit that would turn invisible. Oh, that's right, that's right Her clothes, wouldn't Her?
Speaker 1:clothes would yeah, sorry, I touched you like that for a minute, anyways all right, let's move on.
Speaker 3:No hesitation, let's move on.
Speaker 1:Would you, would you rather be able to speak all languages fluently or play every musical instrument perfectly?
Speaker 2:I feel like languages would be such a more useful tool than, like, being able to play instruments. I mean, you play an instrument, oh yeah, that's cool. But like you go anywhere in the world, again blending in a million things, you go anywhere. You can understand what's going on, or right? Do you ever wonder if, like you're sitting at a restaurant and like somebody speaking a foreign language, do you think they're talking about you? I'm half, definitely half the time.
Speaker 1:I think so, but yeah, that's on Nelsa lawns All right, oh, for sure.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, For sure you need that Google translate thing or translate in real time. Yeah.
Speaker 1:How about you, darren?
Speaker 3:I'm like it's weird, because I love to travel, so languages would be so beneficial, but I almost want to say musical instruments.
Speaker 2:Like I don't know.
Speaker 3:I just like I think a Scott and like his ability to play so many instruments and I'm like that's super sick, Like that's way cool, Right, and like also, I feel I don't know, you can get like jobs as like a translator or stuff, but yeah, you also can make, if you're playing any instrument perfectly.
Speaker 1:And music doesn't know any language, because music is its own language, so you can touch universal, all over the world playing instrument.
Speaker 3:This is true, so a lot of rock stars have touched people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, With their music, with their music. We gotta be clear on that one.
Speaker 3:I knew that Colby didn't, I certainly didn't. So you going, you going instruments or you going language, I think I'm going music, yeah, instruments.
Speaker 1:I think going with Colby like being able to like go anywhere and be able to understand things, I think that would be more beneficial than instruments, because I feel like instruments, if you can pick up, like if you know how to play the trumpet, it's not going to be that hard to learn other brass instruments. It's going to take a little bit of practice to get used to the trumpet or the tuba because but it's the same mouth movement, same with, like the clarinet to all the saxophones the flute's a little bit different, the oboe's a little different, the bassoon's a little different.
Speaker 2:Precussions all the same. So yeah, so it's like hitting stuff Exactly and then you get into the string instruments.
Speaker 1:That's a whole another story, but same idea. It's like you learn the violin. Chances are it's not going to be that hard to switch to a cello. Yeah, you can play it in.
Speaker 2:It's the same bass skills that you can translate.
Speaker 1:So I feel like if you can play a couple like easy to learn more. Yeah, once you had a couple of basics down, yeah, Cause, like if you think of, like band teachers, a lot of the time they can play multiple instruments the majority they're probably better at one instrument, like their main one, but they can play the other ones because they have the basics down. So like if you got the basics down to the instruments you could almost pass through it, but it's like there's, so there's 200. Is there 200 languages spoken?
Speaker 3:I don't know what I think.
Speaker 1:I think there's like 200 spoken languages, so it's like that's a lot more to learn and there's a there are a lot more diverse.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Cause as far as like the like Latin bass ones go. There's a ton of like trying like crossover with that Right Like I can speak Spanish to Jackie who speaks Portuguese and she understands it. And she can reply in Portuguese and like we can have a conversation. That way I went to Italy. I could like understand everything, but then China, like speak they also spell it weird so I couldn't read it, but if someone was speaking it I could like understand which is weird.
Speaker 3:Right, just cause, like the CI makes a ch sound like the CC or CH is C or something like that. Okay, I don't know, there was a couple of different like bass rules that once you figure that out it was easier to read. But right.
Speaker 1:But then think of like someone who speaks a foreign language trying to learn English.
Speaker 2:English is a weird one, all of our special rules for everything and what not. I feel like it has more utility.
Speaker 1:The utility value of learning languages, or having those mastered, is higher than the instruments. Yeah, so but, I mean it would be sick too. All right, let's move on. Okay, would you rather live in a world with no technology, or a world with no nature Technology? Yeah, throw it out the window, it's gone, it's worthless. Sorry, sorry, everyone out there. Yeah, it's worthless.
Speaker 3:So, I mean.
Speaker 2:I feel like you look at the advancement in technology from before like actual technology as we know it today, like you think about how long I think digital yeah Nothing.
Speaker 3:Digital Right Right. Well, you go back to the technology, yeah.
Speaker 2:Or like bow and arrows Like you see how long bow and arrows were in use before, like a firearm was, or whatever, like how useful that tool was to them. Right, I feel like it's a they had a greater innovation.
Speaker 1:Well, I think. Now, though, we kind of take the word technology and think of tech, yeah. So it's like your electronics is all technology. You wouldn't think of a screwdriver as technology.
Speaker 3:You'd think of that more as like a tool. Yeah, so what about a car? Where does that land?
Speaker 1:Smart cars eat like electric vehicles. Probably know Well. I look at it as more like model T Potentially.
Speaker 3:That's not really technology in this sense, I feel like digital stuff.
Speaker 2:Whereas like a new truck, I feel like is more of a technology, digital that you could get away from Computers, I think computers is the base of technology as we know today, because everything that's technology pretty much has a computer.
Speaker 3:If you have to take back to a computer and warn in cars, yeah, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you're thinking 60s muscle cars.
Speaker 3:Yes, american muscle yes, sir.
Speaker 1:I think I'd take probably like a late 30s, early 40s Mercedes, no, okay.
Speaker 3:Okay, Hitler.
Speaker 2:I was like like the ones in.
Speaker 3:Germany, amen.
Speaker 1:Nothing beats German ingenuity right.
Speaker 2:Okay, volkswagen.
Speaker 1:Mercedes, volkswagen, audi, showers BMW.
Speaker 3:I heard their summer camps are fun though.
Speaker 1:All right, I heard they weren't.
Speaker 3:I don't know like not a whole lot of repeat customers.
Speaker 2:Nobody really went back. The second time I'm sorry, mom.
Speaker 1:All right, let's move on.
Speaker 3:I'm not, but I love you, andy, all right Would you rather?
Speaker 1:would you rather always have to tell the truth or always have to lie? Ooh, I think a good rule of thumb is just tell the truth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean. But put it in this perspective, like if somebody asks you, hey, do I look fat in this? Like, yeah, it's good to be honest with them, but like but think about this Colby, I love you. Yeah, I don't know if you're lying or telling the truth.
Speaker 1:So no, I'm saying you though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like if you have to respond to that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, say like way in the distant future when you got little kiddos and they like Papa Colby, see it's like. It's like daddy, did you love me? No, son.
Speaker 2:No, I don't mistake. Or the worst case.
Speaker 1:Yes, son, I do, you know anyway.
Speaker 3:so if you choose to lie I feel like you could like have more creativity with it but also if you're forced to always tell the truth you could still, you could still have creativity with telling the truth, because I'm telling the truth, I'm not telling you everything. Yeah, or you can avoid the answer like yeah right, redirect the conversation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I probably go truth, because if just because I have to tell the truth doesn't mean I actually have to say what I'm thinking, because you can ask me a question I don't have to answer.
Speaker 3:I'm not lying.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, there's no lying, it's, I'm just not answering yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, like ask me if you look fat in that shirt? No, ask me, no, do it. Do I look fat in the shirt? That color looks really good on you, you know crisis averted Crisis, averted Fair enough.
Speaker 1:Amen, but no you don't.
Speaker 2:The new relationship helps you. It matches your eyes. Tanner, you're fine, I know.
Speaker 1:All right, here we go, would you rather? Would you rather never have to sleep again or never have to eat again?
Speaker 3:Sleep again.
Speaker 1:Those are like two out of my three favorite activities Mine's napping that falls under sleeping?
Speaker 2:in my opinion Not me.
Speaker 3:Oh, for sure it's way different Way different.
Speaker 2:I'd go get rid of sleep because I enjoy food way too much. Yeah, I mean because the more food you like, but I also really enjoy sleeping yeah. I mean, but you don't have to, you don't need you don't need to eat again.
Speaker 3:You can. You can treat yourself.
Speaker 1:Go take a nap. True, true, but same thing with food, though. If you never have to eat again, that doesn't mean I can't eat again.
Speaker 2:I mean, would you rather have pumpkin bread or a?
Speaker 3:nap. I mean, does that mean, you're always? Sitting right at, like the calorie level you need, so you don't have to eat, but if you do, it's an excess of calories that then you have to work off. Colby's never had to think about calories as a wife.
Speaker 1:I'm built different. Okay, that's a good question. I don't know, but think about sleep, though. How's our body going to replenish its energy? Are we just always going to be a peak energy, say we go run a marathon. Are we going to be a peak energy through the whole?
Speaker 2:thing. No, you just have an IV with caffeine just dripping right into your vein. That's how tenor is anyways right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I limit myself. I try and drink no more than two energy drinks a day, sorry mom, Two more. He says no, so we get these. I get these like packets, like flavored water packets at Walmart. I get the energy ones. They have 120 milligrams of caffeine, so just one of those into your monsters.
Speaker 3:I've tried. It's gross, no.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just in my water. I'll drink five of them in a day. I'll go like fill my. I'll go. Well, you know they're for like the standard, like 16 ounce water bottles, and my water bottle at work is almost 30. So I'm like it's diluted enough. Right, so I'll go like I'll get my water. I'll dump the packet in it, shake it up, drink it. Go get my water. I'm like I'll like drink just the normal water. I'm like this water tastes gross.
Speaker 1:I dump another packet in there, chug that down and I'm like I've had way more caffeine than I need to today. But I drink enough water today to dilute it, so I'm going to get down.
Speaker 2:It's like girl. That is this.
Speaker 1:Holy.
Speaker 3:I'm an expert Leave me alone, that's like. I don't have what. Even I'm not overdosing on meth, neither am I.
Speaker 1:I just have. I take just enough to keep going.
Speaker 3:I don't OD at night, I just have a little bit of her two hours.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't. I don't pop it down every five minutes. It probably takes me 30 minutes to down one. I'm like 30.
Speaker 3:We're looking at 600 milligrams of caffeine.
Speaker 1:I know it doesn't affect me. I like the taste. That's, that's the issue. No, that's the issue. I like the flavor, because it's peach mango, so I like the flavor.
Speaker 2:I don't recognize the caffeine. I don't.
Speaker 1:They don't have the normal ones. Leave me alone. Get a different brand. No, they're more expensive.
Speaker 3:I can get. These are. These are work, provided they're like oh no, I buy these myself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like two dollars for a pack of 10.
Speaker 3:No work. That's the financial investment. Work provides us amino acids.
Speaker 1:I hate amino acids.
Speaker 2:Yeah, those make me throw up.
Speaker 1:I don't know. It's some like pre workout energy something amino acids. That's just what it's called. It's called Aminos, not amino acids but, I, think it provides you with those healthy. It's called like amino something. Picture like a cabinet full of homes or something. Yeah, work provided.
Speaker 2:Nice, well, I'm coming.
Speaker 1:All right, let's do it for a scooby snack.
Speaker 3:Your job, tanner, should use it on my boss. I'll do it for a scooby snack.
Speaker 1:All right, let's, let's move on. Okay, would you run? This will be a good one for you guys. I think I know your answer, colby. I'm not sure about Darren. We'll see, because he's already one of these and you're the other one. Would you rather always be 10 minutes late?
Speaker 2:or 20 minutes early. Well, I'm 20 minutes early, so yeah not always 10 minutes late, so so, colby, we know you early, you're gonna stick with that.
Speaker 1:Darren, would you rather actually be early, or would you want to stay?
Speaker 2:I would be able to be early, would you? Because, literally, these are you guys.
Speaker 1:You're always seven minutes late. You're always early.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So would you like to switch teams or you're staying where you're at?
Speaker 3:I think I would like to be early.
Speaker 1:Oh okay.
Speaker 3:So then do it, I just put so much stuff into the day, I'm like, oh, I got time for that, oh for sure.
Speaker 1:Okay, that makes sense Like.
Speaker 3:I did by all. I finished at five For God. I had to go to Costco, so I just went to Walmart. As I'm pulling out of Walmart, I was like crap Costco, and like that whole intersection over in Washington. I get that so then I get into Costco and it's like 540 and I was like we're about a speed run, yep. And then I had to get a chicken bake and that's what sent me back. There you go, all right.
Speaker 1:Now let's move into a couple harder, which, rather, we're gonna do one for me. Yeah, I need you guys to pick a number between one and 25. Darren, we'll start with you 14, 14. All right, would you rather live in a reality where everything is predetermined and lacks free will, or live in chaos, with no rules or predictability? Chaos.
Speaker 2:Hmm, okay, I would love to live in chaos, but I don't know that I could stand it.
Speaker 1:No, you couldn't wait.
Speaker 3:So like rules, but like no free will.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so rules, your destiny is decided.
Speaker 3:No free will Like a robot Kinda yeah.
Speaker 2:But, you still get to experience things.
Speaker 1:I guess what if you get lucky and you get the yeah but free love running.
Speaker 2:Have you met our luck, though?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you have.
Speaker 1:I've met bad luck, not luck.
Speaker 3:Still luck. Fair point, fair point, yeah, all right. Yeah, I think I go chaos, just because like more fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you get choices yeah.
Speaker 3:I feel like I create chaos everywhere I go anyways, so depends on the day, yeah, Our Colby one through 25.
Speaker 1:25. Okay, would you rather discover definite proof of an afterlife but be unable to share it with anyone, or never know what happens after death?
Speaker 2:I'm going to go with the unknowing, just because it's kind of.
Speaker 3:It's kind of where we're at right now.
Speaker 2:That's where we're at right now. It's kind of intriguing to be like okay, what happens? Like where do we go? What goes on? Like have that questioning mind of everything, of what's the purpose? What's going on?
Speaker 3:Okay, well if there was no life after death. It's just like this, is it? That's the point of living.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're all destined to like what's the point of following the rules?
Speaker 3:Go to school, get a job work for our whole lives retire, by the time you can't enjoy your life.
Speaker 2:And then keel over and die because you're stopped working.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hope you left an impact.
Speaker 2:That's sad to think about is like okay, what's what are you trying to leave behind after your go?
Speaker 1:your legacy.
Speaker 2:What kind of legacy do you want? Yeah, and like how should you go about doing it, what you should do to achieve that.
Speaker 3:Right. What's the appeal of atheism?
Speaker 2:I have no idea.
Speaker 3:Because, like you, can choose to believe in God or not, but I feel like most people that choose to believe in him are happier, I mean for the most part. And outside of that, what difference does it make in this life?
Speaker 2:you know Right.
Speaker 3:Who knows? Let me know in the comments if you're atheist. I'm genuinely curious. Tell me about it. Why do you choose that? Are you happy? It's a good question.
Speaker 1:Who knows?
Speaker 3:I'm gonna call me, though I'd stay this way yeah.
Speaker 1:I think I would rather have definite proof of an afterlife and not be able to share it with anyone, because then I know like there's an afterlife and I'm assuming then I would know how to get to the good one.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:You know, if it's good and bad or Heaven, hell, yeah, or you know three degrees. I can know how to get to the best of the best afterlife. And then I can just almost like lead by example, I guess, and be like, well, I'm living my life good. I can't say like, oh yeah, there's an afterlife and I'm like just live your life good and it's gonna pay off. It's not like a blind faith for you at least.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Because if you think about it now, you know, if you go religion, you go Bible you know, heaven hell you go more. You know Latter-day Saint, you go three degrees of glory. There's not really a hell per se, you know. So it's like we, if you believe that and stuff like that. You know you believe that there's an afterlife and we have the blueprint to get there. You know, if you go religion, it's in the Bible, it's in.
Speaker 3:Still.
Speaker 1:It's in other religious texts, it's how to get there, right, and some people don't believe that at all and they're gonna live in darkness. But you know, if you go deep into religion, it's the people like, oh, what if I've never heard about you know what? Like, what about all those people that never had that, all those people that never had the opportunity to hear about, you know, the Bible, to hear about religion? You know it's like well, we know, we believe in the next life there's gonna be a time where they can learn and choose to accept, you know or not. Yeah, choose, accept or not. And if they accept, you know, then it's like then they have the opportunity to learn and grow and then, you know, get to the good place, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So I mean that's a fair point. So.
Speaker 1:I think I would rather know?
Speaker 3:Would you switch Kobe? Do you want to know or still know?
Speaker 2:I still don't want to know. I mean, again, it's that mystery of what is gonna happen, like what's the purpose? Like I mean you think about the things we do physically and actually know about what goes on, or whatever, with anything. Pick anything that you deal with day to day and go. Well, I know how a car motor works, or I know how this works, or I know why 2 plus 2 is 4 or whatever. You know why these things are, so you stop questioning them and you stop trying to learn about them. For the most part, for some of those, I mean Mm-hmm, I still there. I feel like there's still more growth that you can learn from not knowing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I feel like it's like the Spiderman quote with great power comes great responsibility. It's like once you know for a certain teeth, and it's like it's very much on you, Mm-hmm, you don't do everything you have to to make it into heaven or wherever it is, but where it's like, yeah, I think this is what I should be doing and I think it'll get me here. Then it's like yeah. Right.
Speaker 1:Try to be a good person, mm-hmm, and I see the appeal of not knowing, yeah.
Speaker 3:But just knowing the end, you almost haven't convinced with knowing too Right.
Speaker 1:I was like, yeah, well, that's just me as a person. I would want to know personally. Yeah, I'm not a curious guy and I'd like to know things. I mean anytime we have in our conversations at work or anything like that we have.
Speaker 1:Whatever I look it up because I want to know personally, not because it's going to necessarily gain me anything or progress me in any way, I just like to know, because I just like to know, right. So, but I mean, I see the appeal of not knowing because you know ignorance is bliss type of thing. So I definitely get that All right. Let's move on to the press the button questions. We got two levels of these, so for these ones again, we'll just we'll pick a couple, one through 25. We'll start with the less difficult, I guess. So, colby, we'll start with you this time. Pick a number One through 25. Six, six, okay. So press the button and you'll have the ability to speak to animals, but humans will no longer understand your speech.
Speaker 2:Ooh. You pressing the button. I don't know that I am, because there's really not a benefit in my mind. You can gain from understanding what animals are saying that you can't get from other human interaction Like. Granted, there's things you could learn and like, but you can't pass it on to humans?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 2:There's nothing you can do with it, you just. You can't, doctor, do a little bit yeah.
Speaker 1:Where you can speak to the animals and then you can provide the information to you. Know humans Right.
Speaker 2:I don't think I'm pushing it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, probably not All right. How about you?
Speaker 1:No, I don't think so. I don't care to talk to animals. Yeah, because like you're out like hunting or something like that.
Speaker 3:Don't shoot me, don't come after me, leave me, I have a family, or like you're killing a bug.
Speaker 1:It's like, please don't. I have a wife and kids.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, little guy.
Speaker 2:You know, yeah Me too.
Speaker 1:That's why I'm doing this. She can't understand me anymore. All right, yeah, I don't think I press the button. All right, darren, your turn one through 25. 11. 11. All right, press the button and you'll become a genius in a specific field of your choice, but you'll forget everything else you know.
Speaker 2:I don't think I'm pushing the button, because it's like that old saying and I'm going to butcher this, probably it's Jack of all trades, but master of none. Then, whatever the rest of it, there's a whole rest of it. I think that has a lot of value, like having being a Jack of all trades. Knowing a little about everything has its purpose, because you can always in my opinion, you can always learn more as needed.
Speaker 3:If not, there's YouTube university, so yeah but let's say you were going to push it, what category would you choose?
Speaker 2:Mmm, that trip land trains. Is it up to?
Speaker 1:Because you forget everything else you know. Now are we assuming that, like say, you choose microbiology, you know, or something crazy out there? Do you forget how to speak? Do you forget how to do? I think you can function as a human Driving.
Speaker 2:Like basic human functions you can do, but like driving, and I think you remember relationships, yeah, okay. Like, because that's too extreme. Yeah, like having human interactions. I look at it and go like what a bear does, like a bear knows how to gather food. It has its specific things that it does to grow and be alive.
Speaker 2:Like it knows how to interact and mate with other bears. It knows how to do all this stuff. I feel like it's like that of this is what they know and they don't know anything different. They don't know how deer acts like they're not.
Speaker 3:I think you'd be able to like throw a ball, but you wouldn't be good at lacrosse. Because, just like the average American, you might be able to like flick it out of the stick, you know, and this yeah.
Speaker 1:Unless you're my brother-in-law. So the U-Tech lacrosse team had a golf tournament for as a fundraiser and one of the holes they had a like longest throw competition. My brother-in-law, great golfer, phenomenal golfer, can smack the ball 400 yards.
Speaker 3:That's one chase, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:He doesn't know how to throw lacrosse at all. So they gave him you know, they gave him a stick, not a lot of whip in it. I guess they like the worst one and he goes to try and just launch it Because he played baseball. He plays golf, right? Lacrosse is 100% different than those Same idea, but a lot of the small mechanics is very different, so he just tried to huck it out there because he's seen it before. Ball flies straight out of his stick backwards and hits.
Speaker 3:They were playing.
Speaker 1:I think a four man scramble hits one of the guys straight. Where you don't want to get hit, straighten the boys.
Speaker 2:And I was like he was telling me this.
Speaker 1:I'm like I am judging you so hard right now and I guess he like picked it up and just kind of just flung it out there kind of angry, like with one hand and they went at you know a decent amount, but literally straight back, or straight back or straight to the side.
Speaker 3:That's got to be a lot of whip, right, no, whip, no, no, because it's not holding it. A lot of whip went straight to the ground after he threw it.
Speaker 1:No whip would have flown out the back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, maybe I remember there was this kid. He this is like when I first went up to SU first practice. I went to like some boys are shooting around and everything. This kid picks up his stick, gets a ball in it like, takes a step down repper and just absolutely dings the ball bucket behind him and I was like, oh yeah, I'm not so worried about playing collegiate anymore, I think I'll keep up just fine. And that like his pocket would snag. So like even after he went all the way around it still wouldn't come out until it was like dang pointed backwards and he like left off some momentum. So I guess.
Speaker 1:Back to your point, though, I think, yeah, the average person could probably get out of the stick, but he was. You know, chase was trying to launch it, as far as he could, so that's why I did that.
Speaker 3:Same with that guy you know, but I think generally, you know, they go like you know I'm going to toss it like no follow through, just a flick, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like a catapult. They try and just like yeah, stop it but okay.
Speaker 3:What was the question? If you're a genius, genius, right, yeah, darin what would you choose then?
Speaker 1:Sports analytic.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, it's interesting.
Speaker 3:I just feel like I'd be super interesting like career wise. If you're the most qualified person on earth, then like any major sporting event they want you there as like an announcer or like a consultant or whatever.
Speaker 1:If you go analytics, they're going to want you to do the numbers. Yeah, not necessarily announced, because announcing you get the numbers from someone else Right, yeah, yeah. So, colby, what about you? What specific field did you take?
Speaker 2:You know, I don't know that there's one specifically. I mean maybe just like understanding, like the human mind and like decisions, like why people do things, so like psychology. Like yeah, like probably. I mean because then you could almost understand everything else of oh, this is why they do this or this is what happens.
Speaker 1:Understanding human nature.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you just understand the why out of everybody's actions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I have that question every single day of why did you do that? Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1:I think I'd go like the business route. I don't know if there's any like part two, like specific field. Yeah, yeah, business, or like a marketing, because I think, like business encompasses marketing and accounting and at least accounting for a business, just because then I could make a lot of money, I mean yeah, you could almost just say entrepreneurial.
Speaker 2:Yeah Something like that Mind I guess, like that I, because they kind of have an idea of everything. They're not experts at accounting or anything like that, right, Cause.
Speaker 1:then it's like if I don't know, if I forget how to do everything else, I can go find the people that know how to do that and be like you know how to do this, I know how to do that. Let's team up, grow this thing like crazy real fast. We'll get a massive return. But a Bing, what a boom. We're out, right.
Speaker 2:So good point.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, colby, pick another one, one through 10, 25. 13. Okay, press the button, but you'll be able to experience any fictional world as if it were real. But you'll be stuck in that world for a week each time I'm pressing it.
Speaker 2:I'm slamming that, that I'm spamming it.
Speaker 1:I'm never leaving Star Wars.
Speaker 2:I mean that's a week.
Speaker 3:You can do anything for a week, like and even if it's like, oh, I really didn't enjoy that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a week. Yeah, it was a week. You're done, I'm in Germany, but it's only a week.
Speaker 2:Only week. You just ride that rail car till the end. You go home.
Speaker 3:Upgrades, people Upgrades.
Speaker 2:Anyways, demonetized.
Speaker 1:I'm just kidding, we're not monetized. Hit the subscribe button to help us get there.
Speaker 2:I'm just a plug, tanner, I never said nothing about the.
Speaker 1:Holocaust.
Speaker 3:What are you talking about? Oh, my bad, where did we get on that? All right, so what are you guys pressing?
Speaker 1:I think we all said yes, yeah. So what's the first one you go to? Obviously, I'd go to Star Wars frequently. Is there any particular fictional world you guys would like to go to first?
Speaker 3:Harry Potter's up there for me. I just want to go to England. I hate English people.
Speaker 1:I know a couple of nice ones.
Speaker 3:That's because you know them from here, though, right. Yeah but they're from there, yeah, but like when they're pulled out of their natural habitat, they have to adjust.
Speaker 2:They got to adapt or die. You're surrounded by them.
Speaker 1:I guess that's a fair point. You stick out like a sore thumb. Yeah, well, like we special with your honky tonky Yankee accent.
Speaker 3:Could be, I don't know.
Speaker 2:What the hell are you talking about there so soon?
Speaker 3:Yee-haw, we spent like 13 hours in the London England.
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't like it.
Speaker 3:I like it Never again.
Speaker 1:Never forget, don't forget. So. Harry Potter, k Colby.
Speaker 3:I don't know, I don't see Jackson. Yeah, that's probably another good one. You guys seen the?
Speaker 1:teaser for that the new series coming out in December.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't know they were coming out Okay.
Speaker 3:Better than the second movie.
Speaker 2:Second movie's overrated.
Speaker 3:No, the second movie was trash. It had its moments. Trash. What are you doing? Why you on my roof? It has its moments.
Speaker 2:It's true, it's good to say All right.
Speaker 1:What about you, Colby?
Speaker 2:I don't know that I got one this site. I mean, yeah, I'd probably do Star Wars or like Harry Potter. Yeah, I mean, there'd be ones that I was like, oh yeah, I'll do that, but there's not one that I'm like dying to do. What about like Lord of the Rings? I?
Speaker 3:was about to say that yeah, no, I was probably on there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's probably on there. That's another one that would be cool.
Speaker 2:I don't think I don't.
Speaker 3:I definitely do Star Wars, though. Yeah, I'm like halfway through them, I'm getting there.
Speaker 1:Oh nice, which one are you on, I guess?
Speaker 2:He just started halfway through.
Speaker 1:Like what did you start? Are you number three? Number four? Did you do the other way around? Are you number six? Number one?
Speaker 2:Did you do? Did you start with the newest one? Did you do one nine Like? Did you start chronological or did you start release order?
Speaker 1:Yeah, Chronological Okay so you're probably on three.
Speaker 3:No, I'm on like five.
Speaker 2:Oh, then you're. Almost done, dude.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I forget.
Speaker 2:There's nine of them.
Speaker 1:So halfway would be five or five. I forget about that.
Speaker 3:I'm like halfway through one right now. I started watching them all on like the lacrosse drives out to like Colorado and stuff like Arizona.
Speaker 1:You could fit quite a few on there. I got time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'd like wedge my little iPad into the seat and then we'd hook up to a speaker in the back and, like everybody's watching Nice.
Speaker 1:So what are you thinking so far? How are you liking it? So far it's pretty good, pretty good, good. Welcome to the cult.
Speaker 3:Thank you, I welcome you in.
Speaker 2:We should have made him wear the freaking helmet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you guys can't see this, but I've got a Darth Vader helmet and a Boba Fett helmet here, and can you put on the Darth Vader helmet it? Yeah, you can. It takes a couple seconds. I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2:Why don't you do the Boba Fett one?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that one's going to be easier to put on the Boba Fett, one's going to be easier, that one you got to take it apart you got to take it apart. It's three pieces, it's actually four pieces. Oh yeah, just set it back. There you go, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 2:There you go, there you should have turned the camera for this.
Speaker 1:Go grab the Boba Fett one Back on camera. Just don't bump anything, please.
Speaker 2:There's a nice butt shot there, Darren.
Speaker 1:You can shoot that back up. There you go. There you go Thank you. We needed that so yeah anyways, and then I got six lightsabers as well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's it. What is your family on? Have you ever done a count? How?
Speaker 1:many is this Jared on? He's got more than me he just when he did his last trip.
Speaker 3:He got like four, didn't he?
Speaker 1:Or the one before that. He got a lot and I think his last trip he came back with a couple more. He's got probably just shy of ten. So he's got quite a few more than me. I think. Total amongst the family we probably got more. We're closer to twenty.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If not more, but.
Speaker 3:Pull them all out of your guys' wedding. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 1:We've gotten more since then Me specifically.
Speaker 2:Tenor knows what's important in life. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I was like I can't not get one, that's fair enough. So I've gotten one every time I've gone. So, all right, let's move on. Okay, see, I think we're back to Darren. We'll pick another one, one through twenty five, the only one. All right, press the button and you'll be able to teleport anywhere instantly.
Speaker 3:But, but, that one. Where's the button?
Speaker 1:But you'll age twice as fast while teleporting.
Speaker 2:Oh done, that's easy. You die faster.
Speaker 3:What do you mean? Well, teleporting. I don't know Well you're in whatever location.
Speaker 1:I don't know how long does teleporting take.
Speaker 2:It just says while you're teleporting, I would just say it's instantaneous and then, like you, just took off some of your life when you did it.
Speaker 3:Because if it's like if it takes two minutes to teleport, then I age four minutes during the two minutes span.
Speaker 1:I don't know Sure, there's another one in here.
Speaker 3:If you're taking a year off, my life slam in the butt.
Speaker 1:Here's another one.
Speaker 2:You get ten million dollars, or you have your life.
Speaker 1:Press the button.
Speaker 3:Press the button Expectancy in half. Press the button twice.
Speaker 1:Press the button and you get a million dollars, but some random person around the world you know becomes not alive anymore.
Speaker 3:And it could be you.
Speaker 2:I could solve all my problems or I could get a million dollars. Here's a follow up to that, because I saw it on here.
Speaker 1:Teleport anywhere instantly but you show up naked, slamming the button. I figured, I figured.
Speaker 3:I had this mission companion. He liked to play this game where it was someone like names a superpower and then the other two people each have to come up with like a weakness to it. Oh, OK. So it was like, so, like for teleportation, because that's, if I could choose a superpower, that would be it. The weakness he gave me was you can't teleport with clothes on. So and then the one the other person was you can only only teleport from a bathroom to another bathroom.
Speaker 2:Easy.
Speaker 3:So I was like oh, that's even better, that's even better, then I'll just teleport to get you a bathroom naked, there's a lot less people.
Speaker 1:Exactly, he got it in the back, yeah.
Speaker 2:What's even better is you could go into a public restroom, teleport to your own bathroom, go to the bathroom and then teleport back to where you were Facts and never have to use a public restroom again.
Speaker 1:All these red cells say you could just teleport home.
Speaker 2:And then you're home, that's true.
Speaker 3:All right, but why would you leave home All your outfits?
Speaker 1:Teleport into the DI Come running out?
Speaker 3:Hey, hey, kid.
Speaker 1:All right, all right, let's move on to the more difficult ones. All right, call B. We started with you. We'll just keep it going. One through 25. 18. 18. Press the button and you'll become a globally recognized leader, capable of bringing about positive change, but negative, but you'll be constantly targeted by threats.
Speaker 2:Yeah, push it, why not?
Speaker 1:No, I'm not pushing it.
Speaker 2:Why not? Who cares?
Speaker 3:I'm not pushing it, screw it. I'm not worried about the threats, I just don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't want to be the leader. That's how I am. Honestly, the threats on my life is a perk.
Speaker 3:That would make it exciting. That's fair enough. Got people around me.
Speaker 1:You're going to learn how to shoot lots of guns?
Speaker 3:No, I'd probably maybe I would push it. You get more influence. I accidentally push it, yeah, like sit on it or something.
Speaker 2:Oh no.
Speaker 1:Is that where I put it? Did I change the channel? Oh no, I was just.
Speaker 3:everyone rushes in on you.
Speaker 1:All right, Darren, your turn One through 25. No that was good.
Speaker 2:I think that was the right one, 18.
Speaker 3:We just did it.
Speaker 1:That's why I said it All right. Press the button and you'll have the power to communicate with a parallel version of yourself in another universe, but every conversation comes at a physical cost to both of you. I'm not that interesting.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I will just say you're physically tired afterwards Maybe. I'm probably not pushing it. I push it just so I have the option.
Speaker 3:It doesn't say you have to talk to it.
Speaker 1:I'm pushing it just because I can have a friend who's not like. I'm not going to be not friends with myself.
Speaker 2:Wow, tanner, thanks, I'm not going to be not friends with myself.
Speaker 1:Well, I got any time, you know it's like if I called myself up in the middle of an hour.
Speaker 3:I would answer.
Speaker 1:If you guys call, it be like if he calls again, I'll answer, you know.
Speaker 3:I'll call me when I dig first. You can call me 10 times in a row and I won't wake up.
Speaker 1:So, I'm going to pick up, I'm going to wake up for myself. So you said no, you didn't care, Darren.
Speaker 3:I'd push it. So there's the option. What, what kind of conversation would you want to have with a parallel self?
Speaker 1:I don't know. Well, see, if it's parallel, that probably means that their life is pretty similar to yours. There's just a few differences. So maybe it'd be like what did you do here Maybe? You went through this already, maybe it's you know. It's like hey, this is coming up.
Speaker 3:You're like asking for advice. What would you do? Or what?
Speaker 1:what did you do? Or you know, depending on how parallel it is.
Speaker 3:Okay, so what if they just like everywhere where you failed in life, they were successful?
Speaker 1:and vice versa, though, yeah, or the other way around.
Speaker 2:I feel like the other way around, then that's not beneficial for you to have that conversation but like he, he's successful at stuff you fail at. You're successful at stuff he fails at.
Speaker 1:So if you guys work, together eventually you would just be average.
Speaker 3:So your most average self.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Wouldn't that be your most successful self?
Speaker 1:Nope, or your most failed self.
Speaker 3:If you both bring up your failures that's not average. That's not average at all.
Speaker 2:What if you both bring down?
Speaker 1:your failures or you bring down your successes.
Speaker 2:Then you're below average.
Speaker 3:See, then you're wasting them conversations, exactly.
Speaker 2:Why did I?
Speaker 1:listen to myself. All right, let's move on. Colby one through 25. So one you know. Press the button and you'll have the power to end all suffering in the world, but some people deserve that but it will require you to experience the world's collective suffering.
Speaker 2:No, somebody already did that for us, so I he did that. For a reason I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because that would suck we couldn't go through it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the other day. Thank you, praise up All right there in one through 25. I'm just realizing now I only actually have 23. So one through 25.
Speaker 2:I know. That's why I put that in 22 22.
Speaker 1:Press the button and you'll be able to enter the dreams of others, influencing their subconscious but I'm doing backflips but doing so will cause recurring nightmares for you.
Speaker 3:I'm slamming it. I could clown people all the time you like a sleep on a plane you know, or like someone falls asleep and you're like I'm coming for you, buddy. You're go time pops them like melatonin, Like all right that's a little freaky.
Speaker 2:I think I would push it just to see what was going on with other people who cares about me?
Speaker 3:Yeah, see what other people are dreaming, yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:I feel like it's been a minute since I had a nightmare.
Speaker 2:I couldn't tell you last time I remembered any of my dreams.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Same, I just sleep, I don't think about it, I actually I got a court case coming up for a driver or a speeding ticket. I was going to ask you about that. Yeah, uh, trying to get it resolved before it happens. But I had a dream the other night where I was like it was a zoom meeting.
Speaker 2:You know, I thought it was 415.
Speaker 3:I logged on at like 410. Oh, you're early. The judge had logged on at four because that's what the meeting was and shut it down at four. I was like, oh freak. Then I woke up and I was like, was that real? I hope that wasn't, because in my dream I was out in Albuquerque knocking doors again and I was like that's what made me I was like I'm a back, nice, All right.
Speaker 1:I got one for you guys Press the button and you'll gain the power to revive extinct species. But for every species you bring back, a current species will go extinct.
Speaker 3:Absolutely yeah, why? Not bring him back the dinosaurs and I'm getting really men mosquitoes. You're welcome, you don't get to choose which one goes extinct though.
Speaker 2:Now we're going to make it that way, a random one will go extinct.
Speaker 1:So what if it's like elephants? Humans Bring back then the ender dolls by, by humans.
Speaker 3:Do I get to choose what comes back? Yep, I'm doing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yep, I want my dinosaurs. All right, well, we'll phrase this a couple ways.
Speaker 1:So you would press it if you got to choose, and it doesn't matter which one goes away. Yeah, I'm assuming you'd still choose it if you got to choose which one. So now what if you got to choose which one goes away, but you don't get to choose which one comes back?
Speaker 2:I'm probably still pressing it.
Speaker 1:You'd be like, yeah, when I revive something, I want to get rid of these, but I don't know what's going to. It's going to random shuffle on which one comes back.
Speaker 3:So what if?
Speaker 1:it's like some something stupid.
Speaker 3:Like what I push it again yeah get rid of that.
Speaker 2:I knew, all right, fair, fair, point. I didn't think about that, just redraw that.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So like, well, whatever you bring back has to stick around. Yeah, yeah, so you're keep eliminating current species. I'd still be doing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It's like there's so many annoying bugs you could just get rid of. Yeah, true, true, true true, and then just watch ecosystems crumble because you're wrecking stuff and food chains.
Speaker 1:All right, here's one. Press the button and you'll gain the power to bring joy to anyone's life through a single touch.
Speaker 3:All right, you guys pressing it.
Speaker 1:But well, let me ask you.
Speaker 3:Would you?
Speaker 1:press that, regardless of what's going to come next. No, I'm asking before you guys bring joy to anybody's life. Yep Just through a touch Like is that something that peaks your interest? Are you limited?
Speaker 3:on touches.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 3:I mean the. Is that the call right?
Speaker 2:answer Does that in?
Speaker 1:should be yes.
Speaker 3:We're not yeah, I am.
Speaker 2:Who talks about ethics?
Speaker 3:here, not us. I am interested.
Speaker 1:Okay, but you'll absorb their sadness in the process. Yeah, I push it.
Speaker 2:Now I'm thinking this is probably like a.
Speaker 1:King Midas situation Then no, where maybe you don't have the ability to turn it on and off. Yeah, you just, you just do it If I can't turn it off?
Speaker 3:No, if I can turn it off, yes, yeah, okay, because like our dog just died, like a little bit ago, you know, it was like didn't hit me that hard, but like Really the rest of the family hit right now.

Speaker 2:I'm going to go back to the beginning, all right, all right hey okay, that was too difficult.
Speaker 1:This will be this. This will be our last one. Okay, press the button and you'll have the ability to instantly learn any skill or field of knowledge, but you'll lose the ability to retain personal memories.
Speaker 2:I forget stuff. Anyways, I'm pushing the button. I don't remember a whole lot, but you won't remember us. Yeah, but you're still around.
Speaker 3:Mr Stark, you don't feel so good. Oh my gosh.
