Two brothers with razor-sharp wit tackle life's absurdities in this unfiltered conversation that weaves between hilarious observations and surprisingly deep insights.
Bobby D and Mikey D dive headfirst into celebrity weight fluctuations, discussing Leonardo DiCaprio's dramatic changes and the dangerous health implications of extreme body transformations. Their casual banter about "chocolate salty balls" and bald heads quickly gives way to genuine concern about the toll such fluctuations take on vital organs – showing how these two can pivot from crude humor to thoughtful commentary in an instant.
The conversation shifts to the fascinating world of Samoan athletes, where the brothers marvel at the seemingly supernatural strength found in this region. Sharing stories of untrained athletes who can bench press 225 pounds for 30 reps straight out the gate, they highlight NBA player Steven Adams and his sister, Olympic shot put champion Valerie Adams, as prime examples of this genetic gift. This segment beautifully illustrates their knowledge of sports while maintaining their characteristic humor throughout.
Perhaps most compelling is their analysis of Kevin Durant's recent comments that some interpreted as shade toward Michael Jordan, balanced against their genuine appreciation for LeBron James' 22-year career at the highest level. But the emotional center of this episode arrives unexpectedly when Bobby reveals his nickname honors his late father – a touching moment that demonstrates the genuine heart beneath their comedic exterior. Their reflections on missed opportunities to hear more of their father's stories resonates with anyone who's lost a parent.
Whether recounting bizarre Malaysian government criteria for identifying lesbians or lamenting how today's children are exposed to adult language too early, the brothers maintain their central philosophy: authenticity matters more than approval. As they put it, "I don't care who likes me. That's why I live the way I live and have no anxiety."

Yeah, 100% bullsht. You know who I saw today, just by accident. Okay, not saw personally, but I was at the gym and they have all the bloody tvs right, so I'm watching. Leonardo DiCaprio is at one of the tennis grand slams. Oh yeah, is it wimbledon?
Speaker 1it might be wimbledon, because I don't think he's allowed back in the country, yet is he?
Speaker 2he was hiding from the dd trial, that's right, right, yeah, so he was there he wasn't looking good, mike, his face was so big.
Speaker 1Yeah, he's in shit, he's on all them lists bro right allegedly allegedly, and he's probably on a lot of the junior high school lists too. That's right, because his girlfriends have to be 19. Yeah, pretty much right, but yeah, what I was saying, he does not look good.
Speaker 2No, really he is fat as fuck.
Speaker 1His face is like that. If you put a candle in his mouth for Halloween, he'd look like a jack-o'-lantern yeah.
Speaker 2He looks that stupid he looks ridiculous. So he obviously is between movies. Then the next movie comes around. You'll see, he'll be slimmed right back down.
Speaker 1He'll be slimmed down again right Off the alcohol, whatever he's been doing recently, that's got to be tough man when you see.
Speaker 2You, know you and I talked about this before about Christian Bale- yeah, and he went from that movie Blowing up to 220.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, nothing to him. He would eat like an apple a day, yeah and then just like that, get ready for the Batman movie.
Speaker 1Like ballooned up showed up to the Batman set and they said you're too big, which is hilarious. Which, again?
Speaker 2point being that's not good for your body to do that.
Speaker 1No man, it's not good for your body.
Speaker 2Now you can speak to this way more than I can.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean, that is definitely not good to like be fluctuating your I had to cut weight for different things and it's just, it's hard on the liver. I mean, if you follow the fights ufc recently uh, recently there's a girl named kayla harris. Okay, kayla harris is fucking huge, yeah, okay, she walks around 175 180. Okay, she picked joe rogan up like he's a sack of potatoes, right, joe rogan weighs 200 pounds and he's solid, he's made of wood right.
Speaker 1This girl had to cut down to 135 to make her weight. Yeah, yeah, great. That's crazy. During the weight cut, she actually said I'm gonna retire, I can't do this. She was crying I'm gonna retire, I can't. And then, of course, she won the belt. Now she ain't gonna retire because now she's a champion and I will. I'll put this on the record nobody's beaten, beaten her. She is a three-time Olympian gold medalist.
Speaker 1Judo or whatever she is or wrestling. I'm sorry, Cale, I don't know which one, one of the two, but this girl is so good.
Speaker 2So what's the highest weight class, and why doesn't she fight at a higher weight class?
Speaker 1I think 135 is the highest for women, but I could be wrong. It might be 145. But see, the belt was held at 135 for that fight. So I don't know. Listen, I don't know everything he does, I don't. But we don't know the weight classes of the women. We haven't been following UFC as tight as we used to.
Speaker 2By the way, in Canada you have to pay for it. It's a pay-per-view.
Speaker 1It's a lot of pay per the view.
Speaker 2But I think you nailed it when you were talking about the liver.
Speaker 1It's the things you're not going to see.
Speaker 2Yeah, you're going to fluctuate your weight, but the damage that you're doing to your internal organs is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1Kidneys, liver, whatever.
Speaker 2Kidneys too. We're old, we know Don't mess around with that stuff, man. Don't mess with your kidneys. It sucks when you get old.
Speaker 1Yeah, kidneys, one of my sisters has nephrotic syndrome, which means her kidneys stop working. So she's on the steroids right now, right, so you know. But she put a lot of weight on 18 degrees. You could hang meat Right. Okay, yeah, because she's so hot and her husband, that's terrible yeah that does a number on you right? Oh yeah, she's been going through this for years.
Speaker 2She almost died once she was in the hospital. Oh really, she almost passed away. I think you've told me that before.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's crazy. My youngest sister slept beside her for three good yeah, managing it.
Speaker 2I guess the best you can right it's like what's the um? Selena gomez, whatever, uh, lupus, I think, is what she yeah, this is.
Speaker 1I don't know what lupus is, but I'm hearing this yeah, and so she had to.
Speaker 2She had to take the steroids, and so you know she blew up. Well she you know that's what it does right yeah, and of course her face gets huge.
Speaker 1You put weight on, you look fat before.
Celebrity Weight Fluctuations
Speaker 2I think she's trying to manage her health and they're like shredding her online, but it's like you know, she's looking after herself, man well, that's another thing too.
Speaker 1Do you remember when, uh, who's the? Who's the bigger white lady, great singer, like sings, like gospel, level one? It's a one word name. That's her. I'm sorry, like I said, don't know everything. Adele lost a lot of weight. Everybody went after her.
Speaker 1She's trying to do what's best for herself that's right like this is why you don't see fat 85-year-old people, because they're dead. Just look around you. You don't see old people that are fat. Most people end up getting thinner the older you get. Now my mom has thinned down. Before my dad passed, he thinned down a little bit. I used to be a lot bigger. I wasn't fat, but I was bulkier. I've thinned down. I've lost about 15, 20 pounds over the last 10 years of muscle on purpose, just to be lighter, you know, because it's healthier, right it's definitely healthier.
Speaker 2It's not easy to do either, right.
Speaker 2No, it's not easy, it takes you know like you can speak to this. I can you train, that's what you do, but you have to be so strict and so regimented, right, in order to do that. Now, when we lived in New Zealand, one of the things that you know we loved you know, not everybody was like thin pencil, thin or you know whatever, but they stayed active. Yeah, that's the difference, and you know, I think I've told you this before- you could be a bigger person to be active Me and the wife were sitting there climbing a mountain.
Speaker 2Like you know, going for a two-day walk into the mountains, got the backpacks on and everything.
Speaker 1And here we are struggling, going. Oh man, this is the hardest. 75 year old man goes blowing by us like barely you know great day for a walk.
Speaker 2Hey, young fellas, what are you doing?
Speaker 1here.
Speaker 2You want me to carry you right, well, but that's, that's it stay. You know, you don't need to be pencil thin you don't need to be.
Speaker 1You don't need to be shredded, but stay active, right now, if we're talking about that area of the world, the Samoans in general are freaks. I just watched a whole little spiel on this where they were talking about strength in sports, and this is real. So, as you know, the rock is someone, but he's actually from africville.
Speaker 2His dad is from africa people don't know that the rock is his dad's name.
Speaker 1Again, he was a wrestler, uh rocky johnson, rocky johnson, rocky my via. Rocky, rocky, my via he is from africville, which is 20 minutes down the road here. Okay, he is not from wherever you think he's from, okay.
Speaker 2If you don't believe us, go look it up. Go look it up. The Rock has actually given a shout-out to Halifax, to Africville. Correct, he has.
Speaker 1And, by the way, the Rock is the reason me and Mike are small. Why? Because we want to take steroids, but there's none left because he's taken them all. The, the, the leather, the leather. Well, it looks like leather, it looks so the the liver came with his purple skin color. That's right, it's a wonderful color. You know, 100% beet juice, that's it right. Well, he's taking some kind of juice, but any beet juice definitely anyway, back to the Samoans uh, there was an article uh written with these guys were talking about.
Speaker 1It was like this Samoan guy came to first division football in the US. Never been in a weight room right ever. They throw him under the bench press. 225, 30 reps, jesus. 225 is ridiculous weight.
Speaker 1That's pounds, by the way in my prime when I was between 25 and 35 years old. You know know, pushing weights I could bench press 225. At the most every day was 13 reps. That's it. Yeah, and that was a struggle. I'm not a big dude but I'm short, so it was kind of easy, right. The same guy squat Okay Now, I was known for my squats. Back in the day I've had a catastrophic knee injury, detached, uh, patella tendon, so I don't really squat much anymore. But this is true, I have the receipts. I squatted 585 for a double right to the floor. I've done a record four, four, what is it? 405 or four whatever, for 21 reps. In a squat contest I beat a guy named John Cook who weighed 260, I was 175. Suck it, john.
Speaker 2So the point is Hope you're doing well.
Speaker 1John yeah, hope you're doing well, John. John used to have a gas station. He used to hire hot girls to work at the gas station. He wasn't a stupid fella, just not very strong.
Speaker 1The whitest guy I've ever seen. You could almost see through him. He looked like Casper. Anyway, him under the squat rock, he squatted 600 pounds. He's never lifted a weight a day in his life. It makes no sense, okay. So this whole area of the world, whatever's going on down there, those islands, the cook islands, all these places, all the samoans and the women are big too yeah but the men and the women like their women big, that's what they like what they like.
Speaker 2Well, they're just big in general.
Speaker 1Right, they're just big.
Speaker 2Look at the shot put champion from New Zealand there, Valerie Adams. Oh, my God she's huge, so strong so strong, so big Record forever, yeah, forever. She related to Stephen Adams. Yeah, it's a sister.
Speaker 1There you go. I knew that.
Speaker 2I was just setting, yeah, yeah monster if you don't know who.
Speaker 1Steven adams is one of my favorite players in the nba and nobody fucks with this guy.
Speaker 2Strongest man in the nba. Strongest man in the nba. Look the videos up, watch him.
Speaker 1Set some screens, they bang around too, and then the guy goes and they look, oh yeah, okay, man, all good, and he's the nicest guy too. That's the other thing, it's great yeah you're lucky, he's nice, because boy oh boy I love, I love watching the interviews.
Speaker 2It's like you know, I lived, lived overseas, lived, lived in New Zealand for eight years. Every time I watch his interviews it just brings me back to living there. It's that same sense of humor. I love it, man.
Athletic Freaks: Samoans & Strength
Speaker 1I love the interview with him. I love his game too. He knows his role. He knows his role and he only started playing in university.
Speaker 2Dude yeah, I think he's just a big dude. Just a big dude. I can't remember.
Speaker 1I think there's 13. Is there that many in the family? And he listed them all and he goes one's in the bush. I haven't seen him.
Speaker 2I haven't seen him and the lady goes what do you mean in the bush? He goes, you know, like in the bush, like we know, he's alive.
Speaker 1We just don't know where he is. And she's guy right.
Speaker 2He'll lead, as we've seen here in Canada. All you need is somebody there that can kind of you know. They've had other players before, but Steven Adams is probably the most popular.
Speaker 1I want him at the Lakers.
Speaker 2I want him in the Lakers and you know it's like what we saw here. I great Canadian players, but Vince Carter playing for the Raptors. Yeah, vince Carter, canadian basketball exploded. Now look at the guy. You know they had four Canadians in the finals this year. The MVP.
Speaker 1Yeah, MVP SGA. Yeah, Got his money, took care of his boys.
Speaker 2Get them all back and this will be that next stepping stone, right, we saw it with Vince got people in. You know, steve Nash and Vince got people really interested?
Speaker 1Yes, steve Nash, they keep forgetting about Steve, and now you've got Shea going out there.
Speaker 2And now that more people are going to, more Canadians are going to want to keep playing right. It's great Now.
Speaker 1Canadians, we have a Major League Baseball team called the Toronto.
Speaker 2Blue Jays Right.
Speaker 1Now they're doing very good. They're in first place, they're up by two right now. They have a nine game winning streak going till the other day we lost the game, no big deal. But people don't realize the jays haven't been good for quite a long time, quite a long time. This is a good year. They won uh back-to-back uh world championships back in the 80s. But uh, this is different. So my my nephew, uh cole, big baseball fan hell of a baseball player, mike, I went to watch him. I'm shocked at how much he knows, because you know, when there's plays in the head, I mean I watched baseball. My whole life, played myself Watching and I go, okay, you know, this is what he should do and he did it. I'm like, okay, like, this kid knows what's up.
Speaker 1So then, I got talking to my sister's husband's side, this gentleman named peter is the granddad on that side and I asked peter. I said jesus. I said cole's really good he goes. He better be I go. Why is that he goes? We've been watching baseball since he was a knee high to a grasshopper. Oh yeah, didn't even speak english, english didn't even. He speaks english and french didn't speak at that point and he's like just watching.
Speaker 1He says I was explaining everything to him. I said he clearly listened. He goes oh yeah, because he knew what to do. Other kids on the team didn't know. Right, some kids did, but other kids didn't know what to do. Like he knew, when a dell play, step on the bag, throw them, like what? Like this kid is unreal. Now something else I didn't know. They're not allowed to play one position, they rotate positions. Oh yeah, so he's pitching, he's catching, he's out in the outfield and apparently he wants to be the catcher, he wants to be the boss, oh yeah okay.
Speaker 1But he's not happy when he's out in the field doing other things he wants to be the catcher. But I thought that was a good thing, because back in our day we didn't have that. It's like, yeah, hey, Mike, you're pitching.
Speaker 2Yeah, okay, yeah, they're learning these positions, especially young.
Speaker 1Yeah, don't, yeah, don't pigeonhole them into one thing right off the bat, and here's the other thing you ready five coaches. There's five coaches on the field the whole time, oh wow that's crazy.
Speaker 2And they're all volunteers, I'm assuming.
Speaker 1Yeah and my brother-in-law, jimmy's one of the coaches. He's coaching his son, jimmy's a great Well, I mean we're at the top of the division right Top of the division, and this is a year that they're definitely going to go far.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And we only have the one team now. So you know, go Jays, kind of thing, right, that's right. Now we're going to go from Jays, we're going to go to basketball. I know what you want to say, so let's talk about it, all right.
Speaker 2Here. So, yeah, yeah, he was on mind the pot. Uh, yeah, who was it in katie? Katie right on my head and steve nash, and this is the one that's blowing up all over the place right now. They're trying to determine did he take, did he throw shade at mike with my mj michael?
Speaker 1okay, now throw shade at him. What did he?
Speaker 2say he said, uh, so he was talking about. You know, when you re-sign a contract, essentially right and how, in order to stay, I think, engaged in the game you know you're by yourself for yourself is that every time you sign a contract, you know you should be kind of like looking at it as you're signing a contract with yourself as well, because you're making a lot of money, man right like well, you don't just want to take the money, just be the same, oh you, and so I think you know, and then maybe it's in the context of being great as well.
Speaker 2Right that you, you have to actually make that commitment to yourself as well. And so in the context of that conversation he was talking about signing that contract with yourself, keeping that love of the game going, and he made some comment about he goes now some guys will go, they win their MVPs, they win their championships, and then they go take time off and they go play baseball.
Speaker 1Oh, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, he said that 100. That's exactly what he said. Now, word for word, no, but that's what he said. Well, the only person I know that took time off to go play baseball was, uh, you know, oh, michael jordan.
Speaker 2Everybody knows, everybody knows, right, and then and then in that and he goes and he's talking right to lebron and he says or there's guys that go 22 years straight, right, and he said talking about your careers and wanting to be great and everything. And he said the goal is 20 years. Okay, which is? Is it, though? Is it right?
Speaker 1I don't know, I guess maybe that's the new goal right 20 years vince carter vince robert parish. Yeah, lebron, lebron, of course.
Speaker 2Uh, kareem, I don't know there's, there's like Kevin Willis. I think there are some guys out there. Yeah, there are, but top level.
Speaker 1Like you know, nobody's doing what LeBron's doing. No, he's the top five in the league in every category, Still At 22 years in At 22 years in and 75 years old, yeah. It's insane.
Speaker 2Yeah, so you know the thing was is that they're trying to turn it into. You know he's throwing shade.
Speaker 1I don't think that was what he was trying to do, I think he was trying to say uh, yeah, but it is northern state, it is kevin durant, it is kevin durant, so you never know right, but it's right and and he's on.
Speaker 2He's on a podcast with lebron, and so you know there's always that debate yeah, it's the greatest. Yeah, we've talked about this before. I mean, in my mind it's, it's Jordan, but that's just.
Speaker 1You think LeBron pulled him? Aside and go you have to say it's me right, bitch.
Basketball GOAT Debate
Speaker 2But that's the thing is that KD hasn't said, KD said Jordan is the GOAT he actually has said it.
Speaker 1Dwayne Wade has said it.
Speaker 2You know, he's the GOAT. That's who they grew up watching.
Speaker 1I get. It Okay, hang on Hang. Lebron James is left-handed. Yeah, I know, russell Westbrook is left-handed. However, they shoot right-handed because their hero is Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2Lebron's even said I wore 23 because of Jordan right.
Speaker 1I thought it was because of his IQ. He wanted to put it on his shirt. No, that's not Okay.
Speaker 2All right. So man say what you will. That man's a billionaire, he's doing something right.
Speaker 1Listen, I don't care what his IQ is, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't.
Speaker 2The only thing I have trouble with Space Jam. I didn't see it.
Speaker 1I saw it, the original Space Jam, of course, but I saw the new one.
Speaker 2I'm like in that movie with uh, amy schumer, uh, train, train wreck. He was good in that. I like that movie was a train wreck, but he was funny and he was good at it.
Speaker 1I'll give you that. He definitely was. I mean, he's gonna, he's got something, he's got charisma he's got something he's got something. Amy schumer got something too, because she went from this to this. I don't know what happened. She got married. Now she's doing a cooking show, is she? Oh I don't know. Yeah, close your. Stop eating cake. Right, eat a little bit, a little bit at a time. Sure, like we said before everything in moderation, moderation, moderation right, but so point being back to that is that you know, was he taking?
Speaker 2was he throwing shade at it? I don't think he was. I think he was trying to say that, you know, in order to be one of the greats, when you uh dad, passed, well, got murdered uh, one, three in a row. You know, at the time there was some gambling allegations going on as well, so you know, maybe it was time to just I needed.
Speaker 1I don't have a love for allegations, or allegations step away from the game.
Speaker 2But he stepped away and wanted to do it said it made me miss the game and he brought his love back and he came back and was like dominant again, for you know what I mean. So um point being, I guess, is that is the goal, 20 years? If it is, how do you stay great for 20 years? Maybe KD's on to something you know. When you sign that check, you've got to make that contract with yourself.
Speaker 1Well, we can definitely say LeBron has made it a point to be who he is forever. That's another thing that KD said.
Speaker 2Maybe it wasn't on this one, but it was on another one. The one thing that he never appreciated about LeBron is his love for the game. How is that man, with everything he's accomplished? Everything that he's doing still going at 22, 21, whatever years he's played.
Speaker 1That goes with anything. He loves the game. He is a student of the game. Listen, we already know he's brilliant on the floor. We know, right, like everybody has something brilliant, right, if you teach a fish or try to teach a fish to climb a tree, then the fish is going to fail. Yeah, okay, so there's always something for everybody, right? Like everybody got to get into your own groove, whatever that is, you know and here's the other thing, just quickly.
Speaker 1Don't do it for the money, because that'll never work out for you. You're not going to want to get out of bed, no matter if you're making a million dollars a year, if you don't want to get out of bed and go to work, you're not going to get out of bed. Do a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, exactly right. And Jay McCollum just recently said the same thing. He said I'm a good player. He is, but you know, to be great you've got to make sacrifices, and these guys have all made sacrifices.
Speaker 1They sure have. Look at Kobe. Look at the sacrifices Kobe's made, the stories you heard of the Olympic team. Like all the boys going out drinking, they're coming back. Kobe's already in the gym. It's 4 am. They days everybody else started showing up in the gym.
Speaker 2I'm gonna beat him to the gym and then, right, you know, they show up the next time. He's still there, still there before them, before yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 1Good old kobe, I was gonna tell you this, tell you this story.
Speaker 2I was, uh, I was watching some, some shorts or whatever, and there was a story about amon shumpert. He was on some podcast, okay, and he was talking about uh first time I think it was the first time he played against kobe and he said you know some shit talking going on.
Speaker 1No, it's a Kobe story.
Speaker 2I'm playing Kobe. I'm sitting there and I'm thinking to myself hey, I stripped the ball from him here, I steal the ball from him there.
Speaker 1I drive him by the dunk. I'm feeling pretty good about myself.
Speaker 2I'm going to be able to tell my kids this is what.
Speaker 1I did against Kobe.
Speaker 2You wouldn't be able to tell your kids you stole the ball. So he says third quarter a good game, kid.
Speaker 1He's like wait a minute there's still 12 minutes left in the game. What's this man talking about? You played a good game.
Speaker 2Kobe goes out and destroys him in the fourth Unreal.
Speaker 1Yeah, unreal, that's the way to do it. That's the way to do it right. Can you imagine Good game, son Good game you played. Well, I mean, you know this shit talking about Larry Bird. Oh yeah, I mean best sent out. Listen, larry Bird. Way before most people's time, if you're our age. We know that this white country boy came into the league with no muscle and destroyed everybody.
Speaker 2Yeah, the story. What do you know? Well, the story about Anthony Mason. So if you don't know, anthony Mason, go look him up. Go look him up.
Speaker 1came into the league, massive guy, big dude, so much dude but bigger than who's the guy that pretends that Jamba eats all the food. Now, zion, big like that. Big like that, not as athletic, not as athletic, but big dude, big dude shows up into the game. Larry Bird says those are some pretty big muscles, not going to help you tonight, son Nope, and goes up and torches him right. Well, you know all that muscle takes a lot of oxygen.
Speaker 2You burn out really quick and it gets lactic acid.
Speaker 1It's a problem, right, it's a problem. Go look up.
Speaker 2There's so many videos, so many stories of the trash talking that Larry did.
ESPN Clickbait & Podcast Critics
Speaker 1If you've never seen them, go see them. The all-time greats stuff than most of you know Like you know what I? Mean, but there was a story about MJ going against somebody, right, and you know for the whole whatever. It was pretty much this and that. And then the young fellow opened his mouth.

Speaker 1Okay, okay, okay, but okay, hold that one yeah, hold, no, hold, I remember that one, hold that one, this one was, you know he was. And then jordan went, oh, okay, and then in the fourth quarter, like the guy got like no shots, no points, no nothing, and jordan went. You need to keep your mouth shut, right. The other one, hang on to to that story. The other one I liked too was when Jordan whatever game it was Jordan goes just give me the ball and get the fuck out of my way. I don't need a screen or a pick or whatever. Do you remember that? Yeah, yeah, all right, so yours. Well, that one was the same story.
Speaker 2Maybe it is the same story. Isaiah Ryder was holding his own KG young I don't know if he was a rookie but he was pretty young in the league he was like you're torturing him, man. You're like you own that motherfucker right.
Speaker 1Like he's got to and, of course, isaiah's like dude man like chill out.
Speaker 2This is MJ. Do you know who you're talking?
Speaker 1about. Well, the thing is, you don't want to poke the bear.
Speaker 2You don't want to poke the bear scores like 30 or 40 points in the second half and destroys them. Yeah, I mean, it's just what are you gonna do? Yeah, go listen to kg tell my stories. Like he learned his lesson pretty quick, don't you know? Don't talk to black jesus, that's right.
Speaker 1And listen in any sport, don't poke the bear. That's it. Jordan remembers anything bad anybody ever said about him and uses it to motivate him in any way. Shape or took that shit personal. Took that shit personal, right, so it is what it is now we love our, our people at espn.
Speaker 1Until recently, recently in the espn, you know we're watching, we click on something. We're going to call it click bait, click bait, call it jail bait, I don't care what you call it, it's not good, it's not right. You click on, I go, that's what, what? Okay, espn, I get it. You're losing followers that's.
Speaker 2I think that's what it is right, you're losing followers.
Speaker 1We get it, but it's getting to the point where it's just shitty. Now you click on it. That's not even part of the story or the whole thing is more.
Speaker 2It's all these debate shows now and it's great good, you know yeah, debate us, write us, tell us what you think.
Speaker 1Debate what we say. We're not.
Speaker 2We're not claiming to be experts, but these guys claim to be experts and then they go and they put these stories out all right that they want you to just you know.
Speaker 1Hey, we need people coming in and that's that's the name of the game, I guess nowadays everything has to be this or it doesn't work. And that's real, it is real, it is real. We know this. Listen, okay. So how do we know what's real? Well, a little bit of hot take on this one. We got some comments, people don't like us.
Speaker 1And you know what I like to say to those people. Okay, so I don't care who likes me. That's why I live the way I live and I have no anxiety, because I don't care what other people think. And young people, you shouldn't either. We're not for everybody.
Speaker 1We're not for everybody and not everybody's for everybody and not everything's for everybody. You don't want to watch, us don't watch. But here's the thing. This is how stupid people are. So all the stupid people watching, listen to me carefully. When you write a comment, you make us money. So every time you write a comment, our algorithm gets picked up and it makes us money. So if you think you're being smart writing shitty comments, you're actually just putting money in our pocket. So keep doing it. Numbnuts because it's hilarious and we read them and laugh, and then I write back and delete you. We don't want those people around us. We're pretty easy-going fellows. We have really no concerns.
Speaker 2Listen, this is what we do. This is us on a regular. We like to sit around. We've been doing this for 20 years.
Speaker 1We just decided that Mike's lovely wife 30 almost dude 30 years.
Speaker 2Sorry, what did I say? 20. I don't even know how old I am. I told you I went to school with Jesus. All right, Mike was one of the wise men.
Speaker 1That's right. If you didn't listen, you probably don't know this. Do you know why Jesus wasn't born in Campbellton, New Brunswick? Why is that? Well, they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin there we go. Probably true. It is true because Mike pretty much you know, love you.
Speaker 2Campbellton Shout out to Campbellton, that's right.
Speaker 1Shout out to Campbellton and our friend Hammer.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1The man I met a long time ago. Remember the story of what you told me not to do and I did it. You're like, don't look at Hammer's girlfriend. I'm like, oh her. And then Hammer got up. I'm like, oh, hammer, right, the reason he's called Hammer for a reason, it's not because of his weapon.
Speaker 2That's right.
Speaker 1Right, it's because his hands are like the size of hammers. That's it.
Speaker 2But anyway nothing happened that night, all good we had some drinks, gave him some money, so but yes, comments. Like you know, I was having this conversation with somebody just recently Telling about how they don't like Joe Rogan. They don't like, you know, certain. Wait, a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 1Joe Rogan's our guy, he's your guy, my guy. I like Joe Rogan, not for everything, but I like because he has guests on it that he wants to listen to Sure, not because somebody else tellss him to, because he wants to do what he wants to do Sure, he doesn't give a shit about it. He makes $250 million a year.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, but that's my point, is that everything is. You know, whatever you're doing, it's not for everybody.
Speaker 1I think the comment was Of course it's not.
Speaker 2Oh, I don't like those podcasts when two guys are just Sitting around shooting the shit.
Speaker 1And I said oh, you.
Speaker 2I'm so sorry. No, no, no, it's fine and so she backtracked, trying to save face right. Well, she didn't. You know, was looking not to offend and I don't take offense to it.
Speaker 1Yeah, but here's the thing. We're not offended, you don't have to like what I like yeah yeah, that's why we're all different, like I don't know. Oh, you wanted to do that podcast. That'd be great, yeah and that's fine.
Speaker 2There's nothing wrong with it. Would I listen to it? Sure I would, because that's my wife.
Speaker 1I think she could do a green thumb thing for the backyard.
Speaker 2How well she's done that, I mean yeah well, she's going to retire soon.
Speaker 1When she hits retirement, I think that's a thing. You go out there, but you have to get her a selfie stick.
Speaker 2But she loves doing it.
Speaker 1That's what she does.
Speaker 2That's her actual zen. That's what she does on her time off. She loves being outside. I look at it as work.
Speaker 1That's just the way it is yeah, and put me to work.
Speaker 2That's fine, she does put me to work.
Speaker 1Yeah, um, but uh, but you know she loves it. That's what she does she wants a giant back here.
Speaker 2You got a lot of stuff to do early in the morning and be out there till I have to call her in some nights. Hey, that's the way it used to be when we were kids.
Speaker 1That's right, right, just go outside. Hey, mike, supper. Okay, everybody goes to supper.
Speaker 2I don't know why I'm so tired, mike yeah, you're outside all day in the fresh air, you're exhausted, but it's good for your writing.
Speaker 1Holy smokes, yeah, all right what else you got.
Speaker 2Well, that was it really. That's all I wanted to talk about with the comments was that. You know, leave your comments. We're more than happy to look at them. Greg's more than happy to respond to them.
Speaker 1Bobby D.
Speaker 2Sorry is more, yeah, Bobby D is more happy to respond to them but Now I'm going to come out.
Speaker 1Wait a minute. Right now You've got to be careful what I say, because, wording right, I'm going to come out of the. No, that's not it. I do know somebody that should come out of the closet, but that fucker's locked shut. Anyway, people used to call me Greg. The reason I'm using Bobby is an homage to my dad.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So I use Bobby now to keep my dad's name around, because you know they always say you die twice. Uh, once when you die, then once when everybody who knows your name dies. Right, sure, so I'm. You know, my dad was my friend and I enjoyed my father, so I'm using bobby as an homage to him, so that's why. So I'm calling myself coach bobby my dad's name was michael terry.
Speaker 2Yeah, my name is michael. Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 1So we're keeping those names alive. I'm not welling up, I'm actually choking on my own spit.
Speaker 1So but uh, dude, talking about my dad does make me a little bit sad, but yeah honestly, people straight up, like I thought I was going to retire, come home and I thought you know I'd sit down with dad and tell all the crazy ass stories. Is my dad got some stories from back in the day? Uh, yeah, dad was a whatever, but yeah, so, unfortunately, no, I didn't get that. So now I'm hearing the stories from my mom. Yeah, yeah, they're not the same.
Speaker 1They're not the same dad tells the story way better and real mom's kind of leaving out that dad probably left out. She's like I don't remember it that way.
Speaker 2I'm like okay no, because I do. Yeah, yeah, I think I told you we came. That was the same reason we moved home was, you know, parents getting older and his nephew's getting older. But you know, I got to, I got to get home and spend a few years with dad before he passed and I had to go golfing with them, and you know his buddies and hear some stories and it was great. There's a lot, I just wouldn't trade that for for anything right, so it it's, you know it's when you get older it's yeah that's unfortunate, it just happens.
Parenting, Kids, and Swearing
Speaker 2I mean, you know we keep them alive through stories, through yeah, and that's.
Speaker 1That's where the word Bobby comes from.
Speaker 2Oh, and by the way, keep looking.
Speaker 1We still going to have our 100,000 subscriber for Muscle and Fiction on there, right? Because that's the fitness channel that we do, right? So back to life in general. So I did live in malaysia for a long time and one of the weird things in malaysia, mike, was how they decided who was a lesbian. Okay, so in malaysia it's a muslim country, but I would call it more of a liberal muslim country, okay, sure, so, in kuwait and uae and those other places over there in Qatar where I was working, those places are more of a conservative Islam Muslim community. Okay, and we love our Muslim friends. We've got lots of them. They're great people, but the people that make the decisions on how you decide if you're a lesbian in Malaysia. So let me lay this on you this is real.
Speaker 1The joke that we make or we talk about is wouldn't you love to be at the table with these men?
Speaker 1because you know it was all men right 60 year old men sitting around a table, and this is what they decided on. Okay. So they decided this you're a lesbian if you hang out with other women okay. Number one you're a lesbian if you sleep over at other women's houses Okay. Three you're a lesbian if you carry a bag Like a purse. I guess Okay. And number four you're a lesbian if you go to lunch with women. Now, mike, you're probably wondering I am a lesbian and so are you, because we do all those things. How do you?
Speaker 2how do you?
Speaker 1decide that that's what a lesbian is. I have no idea, man right, yeah, so this is, just like I said, probably a table of, I'd like to say, educated people but I don't think so.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't, I don't think they're educated right uh, I'll give you something else about.
Speaker 1Over there we have a uh, in malaysia there's a top level I can't say top level, top 100 um gymnast. Okay, and these same people, I'm pretty sure, complained that she shouldn't be wearing the unitard because it shows too much. I'm like, okay, so what? Would you want her to wear? One of of those black abayas, the whole thing? And then her doing flips and everything. This is how stupid these old men are right. That's the uniform. They wear it for a reason not to show their shit, but because that's what's comfortable and that's the easiest way to do your flips in. If they could do it naked, they probably would, because they wouldn't be in the way, right?
Speaker 2Oh, we don't think it's proper, nobody gives a shit what you think, because the Olympics is who decides who's wearing what?
Speaker 1Right? Not you old generic fuddy-duddy asswipes, right, sure? So, once again. The funny thing is, though, is nobody knows what the gay term. So we have the four rules for lesbian, but nobody. Well, if you didn't know, mike the prime minister, who is a Muslim man, is gay. Okay, in Malaysia at one point, and they know that because they have the receipts from the guys he slept with, but they kind of let that go. I mean, that's fine, it's okay, of course, right, but yeah, so, in Muslim countries, and if you don't know, they're pretty much against gay and lesbian. Okay, and, and if you don't know, they're pretty much against gay and lesbian and they decided that's how you figure out who they are.
Speaker 1Now, mike and myself, we don't care if you're gay, I don't care if you're lesbian, I don't care if you're trans, I don't care if you're black, white, purple, I don't care. You know what? I care, mike, if you're a good person, if you're a good person. So that's the problem. Right now I see, mike, these young people. I think the parents just gave up. Too much stress, too much work, too much money, too much everything. And young people nowadays are pretty rude. They can be.
Speaker 2It's an interesting one, because when we were brought up, we were respect your elders. Don't talk back to your elders, don't do this.
Speaker 1But as you get older, older you realize that those elders don't always know everything. They're not always right so was that the right way to be?
Speaker 2brought up as well. I don't know you know, what I mean, like we were definitely taught to show your respect. But you know, I mean, maybe there's nothing wrong with challenging authority in that sense.
Speaker 1Right, there isn't anything wrong, like I mean, people are wrong, that's just the way it is. I mean, look at COVID, a lot of people are wrong. I didn't see any apologies. Mike, did you get an apology in the mail? No, not me either. I was locked in my house. For how long? For no reason. Yeah, right, right, with an ankle bracelet. That was a different story. Yeah, still locked in my house, but uh, you know, I've been working my way up to that for years.
Speaker 2Yeah, good practice I might have been the only one who wasn't bothered by covid being locked in my giant condo. Yeah, right, but everybody else?
Speaker 1is everybody else is. Like I said to people, I said I've been practicing this for years with my bracelet. Yeah, so yeah, that's right. But yeah, it is what it is right, so yeah. I don't know I mean the world's changed to me, Mike, the young people, I mean, I got a. And then when you call the parents, the parents are like they're your problem, yeah, but they're not. They're not Get this one.
Speaker 2So, and I can tell, I can tell you what parents that were teachers, that that I was part of watching that change.
Speaker 1Yeah, I bet you were.
Speaker 2Where some of that responsibility?
Speaker 1Because, as you know, Mike's dad was a teacher and mom sorry.
Speaker 2Sorry both, so that that transition happened, you know, while we were going to school, where parents were expecting the teachers to do more and more and more and take on more of the almost child raising responsibilities right, because that's not the job. It's not, and I think you know a lot of it probably had to do with the fact that you had two parents that were working full-time jobs.
Speaker 1You know, trying to make money, trying to make their money, and you know.
Speaker 2I don't know. Again, I don't know if it's like, I don't think it's lazy, I think it's just trying to. I guess all of that right.
Speaker 1Okay, so I grew up with parents.
Speaker 2Both parents worked full-time jobs, but even in our generation that wasn't the case. There was a lot of people that were the man made the money.
Speaker 1Well, I'll tell you my dad had a good job he did. Well. We're not going to say what he did, it's nobody's business but my mom stayed home and that was the deal. I'm going to stay home with the kids and there's a lot of us, right, five, okay. So she stayed home. We all well, most of us stayed out of trouble, right. So it is what it is. But I just heard this story. Listen to this. So my sister was telling me a story, but I didn't realize the story was about her son's class. So she's saying oh, they got this problem child at the school. You know he uses the F word all the time and this and that and everything else. And then you know they had to bring him into the principal and the principal had to talk to him. So the parents come in and talk to the teacher. Get ready, mike, and everybody watching and listening if you're the too, because if I ever see you I'll slap you. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2We don't condone violence.
Speaker 1We don't condone violence. I'm talking like a Will Smith slap that doesn't mean anything to anybody, right? You know what?
Speaker 2I mean.
Speaker 1I would never slap a woman, but it's not the point of the story. The point is we're just having fun about the stupid foolishness.
Speaker 1So here's the thing you can decide what you want to do. The parents come in and they go. Okay, we do realize it says the F word a lot, so we're going to ground him. Can't say the F word for three days. Tough, that's the punishment. You ready? He's seven, the boy's seven, seven years old. I can't even imagine what goes on in that house, right? So the mom goes dinner's fucking ready, right. Father goes, what'd you fucking say Son? What the fuck Like? Are you kidding me? He's seven. So you can't use the F word for three days.
Speaker 2Shouldn't, the Shouldn't, the Shouldn't the parent? Don't use it for three days, then.
Speaker 1Right Now, people are only afraid of two things. When you're born, people don't know this Heights and loud noises. Everything else you learn throughout your life. Okay, sure, and I'm definitely afraid of heights.
Speaker 2I'm three foot tall, all right, you're getting shorter every time. Every time Tomorrow, I'm just going to be shoes and a hat and cock.
Speaker 1Every time Tomorrow, I'm just going to be shoes and a hat and cock and cock right. It's like getting skinnier. I'm just going to be ribs and dick too, but you know what it is, I'm not skinny, I look fine. But, where the hell were we on that, when you said cock and you just thought oh the window man.
Speaker 2Well, talking about things you're scared of. Talking about things you're scared of. I don't even take a shower, my pants off, because I look down and go snake it freaks me out everybody comes running. Yeah, um, regardless, yeah, yeah, we were talking about things you're scared of, talking about the f word, all that, yeah, so he's seven years old.
Speaker 1I can't even imagine saying the f word at seven right, I, I can't remember that far.
Speaker 2That's a long time ago for me.
Speaker 1I can can't remember Listen we grew up where mom would probably shove soap in your mouth. Yeah, right, saying the F word, right?
Speaker 2Sure, but I think you know it's again, that's an adult word, it is Okay.
Speaker 1But here's the thing. So I'm sitting with my sister and the kids and everything and I'm trying to be holy. Shit, that's crazy. My sister goes, excuse me. I went uh, what she goes words. I went holy she goes. No, you can't see shit in front. I said, oh fuck I'm sorry.
Speaker 2I mean, uh, okay, that's the thing they're. They're gonna be exposed to. No matter what you try to do at home, they're gonna be exposed to it.
Speaker 1I'm trying to be nice around my nieces and nephews, and not swear, I mean every once in a while, and it drops. You know I drop it. I'm working on that. I mean, here's the thing I've only been around adults for most of my life, right? I haven't been around little kids, right?
Speaker 2And mayors and commons like to swear.
Speaker 1We fucking do.
Speaker 2We definitely do.
Speaker 1But here's the thing you can read articles on. This proves conviction as long as you're not used to say you're a fucking idiot. Sure right. If you say you know I'm fucking right, it's real, that's conviction. Sure right, that's different.
Speaker 2But you know, it is what it is as an adult. When, when a kid uses it, and uses it in the right context, what do you do? You can't? I've found I've caught myself laughing oh yeah, when a kid has dropped the f-bomb or you know, you know, said something. I know, right context, I know, but seven they used it right, seven, yeah, I know, seven's a little much, man.
Speaker 1I mean, you're just, I don't know.
Speaker 2No, like I said, I think that you're not going to stop the exposure to it.
Speaker 1I think you just try to teach them that it's, you know, it's just a word.
Speaker 2you know when you can and can't use it. I guess Right Is the biggest thing.
Speaker 1I started saying Farfigno, good, right From that stupid commercial, the VW, right, right, right, right Right. So I would ask for Farfigno. And then people are like yeah, you're right, it sounds stupid, yeah, but you know, or my, my, my grandma always used to say Jesus, mary and Joseph. I'm like oh, okay. All right, that's definitely one that's definitely one, but I understand you shouldn't swear around little kids and I'm working on that. You're probably our hardest.
Speaker 2But for a kid to say the F word. It's Well. I think the thing is that if it's that big of a problem at the school, well then, yeah, why are they saying it that often? What is it about it? Right?
Speaker 1Well, I mean now, kids that aren't exposed to it are going to hear that word. That's right.
Speaker 2And the punishment is not I'm going to ground you for three days and say you can't say the F word for three days. No, you've got to work on your language skills, all right.
Speaker 1Here's a different swear right. Here's another thing. Okay, so my other sister, both of my nieces and nephews are all the same age. They did this on purpose. I don't know where they stole them from, but they did so. They're all the same age. So this one tells us oh, at my school everybody knows what the middle finger is, so we all do this now. Okay, so now they're like trying to get around the generation, so parents don't know what it means isn't that your cocaine?
Speaker 2oh, that isn't. Is that what that is? Isn't that your nose picking finger? That is right? I don't know, but yeah, this is like so the kids never know?
Speaker 1I don't know, don't know either, I have no idea. But uh, I think the schools are just full of stuff because it's all on the internet and kids are hey, have you seen? Uh, two girls, one cup, or what you know, whatever they're looking at now, or Mr Whatever, sure, you know, I don't know. I mean, it's just kids get exposed to too much stuff.
Speaker 2Oh, that's I mean. That's definitely something that you know.
Speaker 1Well, how are you going to learn how to treat a young lady right if you're watching porn? Yeah, like, how are you going to learn how to take a lady out or a guy or whatever, if you can, we don't care, like I said, but how you got to learn how to take somebody out and treat them properly when you're watching porn and you know what goes on there, right, like, oh, is that what we're supposed to do?
Speaker 1no, because porn is all real yes, because porn is all real, because the pizza guy just comes in and goes right or you know you can't pay. You can't pay for your you can't pay for pizza, you can tell how old we are because of the pizza.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right, or you know, is that a foot-long sub?
Speaker 1and then some what? Yeah, like, come on man, what are we doing here? Right? But yeah, I mean young fellas, if you're watching this.
Speaker 2I hope you are smart.
