She broke his hips. She did. Welcome to the Drunken Cacti podcast, where the arguments are dumb, the logic is slurred, and we are bound to make someone upset to breathe the same air as us. I am your host, Riley Purser, joined today with some usual faces. Julian. Julian. Jack? Hello. How's the week been, boys? Uh not too shabby. My knees kind of hurt from like a rave that I went to, but that's my fault because I did like 40,000 steps in two days. Were you on your knees a lot? No, I was jumping. Well, how would I be on my knees if I had 40,000? I think you're making a gay joke. You're you're at a rave.
SPEAKER_02Your knees hurt after. Come on, dude.
SPEAKER_01Because I jump in the air. You ever have to like get uppies out out there at the raves? I have gotten uppies before, but it's from my super big homies that are like 6'5 and football players. Put me on their shoulders and I just vibe out. So they just get nuts to the back of the neck.
SPEAKER_02They help the 5'4 guy.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. Other times I'll just tuck and pull up. So then again, it's on their head. They're getting the balls, right? It's their power-ups. Shout out. But usually I just wind up shoulder riding a girl. That's hell yeah. Hell yeah. That's why I train and work out so much. Those 400-pound rack pulls, just to carry a girl. Until it's big too. Damn. That's even some big girls on your back. Yeah, no, it just makes it easy to carry anyone. But if a big bertha winds up asking, I'll act like I have back pain. Oh, sorry, baby. My back. Yeah. Dude, how do you not have back pain? My back hurts all the time. When you work out and you build a lot of muscle, it helps prevent back pain. Yeah. My back will still hurt, but it's just like muscle soreness instead of like, you know, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So do you have to do specific workouts? Because I get a workout every day, you know, working and I I absolutely see.
SPEAKER_01But the thing you gotta realize, Julian, is after you've done the same thing repeatedly for the same amount of time, it's not a workout anymore. It's just a way of life, it's maintenance. Yeah. Yeah. I like doing a lot of like rowing, bent over rows, um, cable rows, front squatting as well, too, I think is really good. Um, it's less injury prone than back squatting, just because you can have bad form and get away with a bad back squat. If you have bad form on a front squat, you're gonna drop it in front of you, but it helps train your upper back quite a bit. Um, and you can pair that with like again, rowing cable rows, and you'll just have a Dorito back. I got told I had a snatched waist the other week. Wait, by a female or a dude? Both. Actually, I mean, that's a hell of a compliment, man. Yeah, dude. Like, no, I how do you feel? I feel great. It's just another reminder that I'm trained to look objectifiable by the summertime. I was like gonna do a cut this year. Nah, nah, we're gonna keep bulking through the summer. And when the cut happens, I'm gonna look like a stupid fucking Dorito, but it's gonna be great. Huh? Yeah. Nope. And Julian, you need to put on some weight.
SPEAKER_02Listen, man, last I checked, I hit 145, man.
SPEAKER_01Wait, like your weight or how much you can lift? How much I weigh. Okay. Jack, I got a question for you. I have an answer. You think there's ever an excuse to be fat? Yeah, is there? If you like just went through a really bad injury and you're kind of bedridden and you can't move around much, it's understandable that you'll have some weight packed on. But on at the same side, like I think a little bit of weight is okay, right? Some people just want to be a little bit happier. Maybe you're in like in a cold area and the extra fat keeps you warm. Actually, I can get down on that. That's actually understandable, right? I'm a little jealous of that. On the other side of the spectrum, you know, you can't also be like five foot nine and 300 pounds. Like, I can't think of any period throughout history that would be effective for you. Like you would be considered attractive in like 1355 when fat people had money. Yeah, exactly. Now you can be broke as fuck and still be fat. You know, that that's that's the worst. Like, your dick isn't gonna look tiny because your legs are now just jumping. You won't be able to see it. Precisely. Did you know it gets longer if you lose weight? Depending on how big you are, obviously. Yeah, I lost a lot of weight growing up. I might look, dude. I look like I was gonna I thought I was gonna pass out in middle school from how huge my look between my legs.
SPEAKER_02What you get a boner, you just lost all your blood pressure?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, pretty much. You have to remember, I was like 120 pounds in eighth grade and was like almost fully adult form by that point. At like five, five, 120 pounds and like a good six-incher. Take up like five pounds of that. Yeah, no, dude, I look deadly on that thing. Put me in a movie right now. I'm Asian John Holmes. But wait, now or in the eighth grade? I don't think they could do that in the eighth grade. No, in eighth grade, my d was huge. Yeah, that's illegal. They can't put you in a movie. Yeah, they wouldn't have been allowed to. No, I'm just saying had I proportionally stayed the same, I would have had a chance. Just I would I had like a very visible thigh gap. So I mean, like anything is gonna look big compared to that. Yeah. You know what I think? Here's my hot take. And it's pretty early in the episode, but I'm gonna say it anyways. My hot take. I hate it when I see fat people at the grocery store and think that they can ride the disability carts just because they're fat.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like you need a wand. You need a you're gonna lose that weight.
SPEAKER_01And it's even worse when they're sitting there in the ice cream aisle or the chip aisle and like you want to feel bad, but it's like, what is the series of events that led you to weighing that much? Like, how are you how do you weigh as much as a fiat? You can't even walk around a grocery store. Imagine if those people went back in time and they had to go forge for their food. But hold on, hold on, hold on. I would be the ones getting the can't walk around.
SPEAKER_02There it's too much weight on them. I know.
SPEAKER_01You don't have to cosplay being Henry VIII. It's it's 2026. Yeah, with a program. If you're expensive enough to be in like healthcare, try not being fat. It's gonna help you out. Yeah, dude. I see like these old ladies or these old dudes at the grocery store, they're like hot bullying, barely can walk. And you got this big old big berth of 600 pounds cruising by on a scooter. You already know they gotta like they gotta get helped out when they like out a wipe for a shit. There's no way it doesn't smell like absolute depth. Speaking of political stuff, they released the uh White House fight card for UFC. Yeah. We'll have Ilya Tapouria. I did see that a divorced Ilya Taporia versus a broken up Justin Gagey. Dude, it's gonna be a fun fight. I don't care about the rest of the fight card. It's unfortunate we're not gonna get John Jones. We're not gonna get Connor. I don't give a shit, bro. It's fine. John's been ducking fight, he's been ducking Tom Aspen all this entire time. I'm not a fight expert, but like you. He's also, you know, he's not the best person, but whatever. But we're gonna get Ilya Tapuria divorced against Justin Gacy. Bro is refing Safford, Arizona, and we're up against El Matador. It's Arizona versus Spain, bro. Wait, so what are you okay, talking about fighting? I know it's not real I mean, I'm sure there's probably still some trying to do some now, but do you remember the era of when YouTubers were trying to play in fights with each other? That's still going. The era of when, yeah. Is it still going on? It's still going on. Still going on. I feel like it's so dumb. It is dumb, but it's still going on. You have retired MMA fighters box like Anderson Silva boxes. Nate Diaz boxed what Jake Paul? Well, but I meant like when to watch. Remember when the fight remember when the YouTubers would try to fight each other.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you're talking about YouTuber clash.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that was iTunes. Well, iDubs kind of stopped doing that because of the backlash he got from his Sam Hyde situation when he tried to uh interview Sam Hyde. After all that happened, uh i dubs went through a lot of and he just essentially was like, ah, you know, I'm not gonna do another creator clash.
SPEAKER_01John Cena. Did you hear he's he's officially retired? I'm not surprised. Completely deserves.
SPEAKER_02Hasn't he done this like multiple times?
SPEAKER_01He's been doing this longer than I've been alive, so I don't blame him for doing that. Yeah, I mean, bro, is just side quests and driving his Honda Civic type art. I actually like him in movies, bro. Yeah, he's not a big thing. He's actually funny. He is funny, he's jacked, like he's the angel of death for a lot of kids because of how many like make a wish foundation he's gone to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I think he's the been the most. Yeah, I think he's gone to the most, make a wish. Yeah. He's literally the angel of death for these kids. Yeah. The last thing they see. Them, like him, they don't see essentially. Yeah. The Filipinos take care of the mass or die, and John just comes in as like a special guest performance for him. I love you, kid. I'm gonna leave you to uh Tita over there. You're doing good. Keep training. You're doing good.
SPEAKER_00No, you're not. No, you're not. Your most prominent feature about you now is a rib kid. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02Do you think I'm gonna make it?
SPEAKER_00No. Oh, you're sorry, I'm getting cancelled. I've gone so fucked up. I don't know how much you're doing at you. Maybe you're gonna you can't see you can't see anything anymore, actually. Don't follow the light.
SPEAKER_02Getting very frail all of a sudden.
SPEAKER_01That's just John Cena walking in.
SPEAKER_02Oh hi, John Cena.
SPEAKER_01Mr. Stork. Oh, it feels okay. Dude, at this point with these kids, can they really tell the difference? We should just get John Cena on a hologram. And he can visit kids from years to come. I mean, honestly, that's true. This looks fake. Don't go into the light. That's probably what's gonna happen. They're gonna make some robot with enough AI that can move like John Cena and just keep re-airing John Cena for the next 200 years. And it's like, I wanna see John Cena. Like, you want to see the copy of him?
SPEAKER_02The Rio John Cena showed that's just your eyes.
SPEAKER_01Did you know in Arizona they have uh, what is it, cryo freezing? Yeah, I know. Alcore. It's located up in North Scots still. Yeah, you can freeze your head for 80 grand and save your body for 200 grand. They also have like a really big um like Emmy Award-winning actor that's in there right now, and someone from the MLB, and uh the royalties help pay for the company. So that's a real thing. A L C O R Alcore. So what happens when they die? The idea is that they'll cryogenically preserve your body and with another like it's literally a gamble on technology, yeah, that when technology advances far enough that they can bring you back. Yeah, so that's why they give the option of 80 grand for the head. You'll probably be put in like a robo suit, you'll be like a T 800 essentially. If you like die early enough in your life and you still have a salvable body, I can't think of anyone that like kicks it at 90, is like, I'm gonna keep this body when it comes back. You know, like unless you have the founding a youth in like 150 years, I don't see anyone. I don't even want my body after like 40, probably. Yeah, let's be real here. I'm already questioned.
SPEAKER_02Well, I think I'm still gonna be beating off by 50, so I'll keep my body a little longer.
SPEAKER_01No, no, but the uh idea is like you will feel better now than you will at 50 beating off. You always have to get a prostate exam. You're gonna get fingered by a doctor is what's going on. That's going to be a canon event for every man who goes to the doctor semi-regularly. I heard they don't do that anymore. Again, uh you can believe whatever you want. I think they're still gonna look in your ass. Dude, my favorite thing about the cryo freezing is it's literally the definition of rich people have too much money.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely. They have a payment plan for it. You can like do it a couple dollar litters a day. And if you start out young enough, it's doable. Do you pay for it while you're frozen? 80 grand for the just the head. I mean, if you stretch it out over like a 30-year period, that's like buying a house in 1980.
SPEAKER_02Well, looks like Matt Damon's account froze. All right, because there's a lot more irresponsible. You're gone.
SPEAKER_01There's a lot more irresponsible financial options that young people make nowadays. I mean, they'll literally finance getting a Corvette. Dude, not even that. Do you remember? Did you guys see that you can finance getting Taco Bell? Right. I mean, yeah, that's really that ridiculous to spend$80,000. Guys, we need to work on the economy if we're out here having to finance Taco Bell. Well, you know what's bad when the strip clubs are also struggling, which they are. You know, sure. Midnight ballerinas, they're not doing I don't know.
SPEAKER_02I don't think any of those strippers are really struggling. The only thing that they're struggling with is not buying coke. That's fair.
SPEAKER_01The one time I went expensive. The one time I went to a strip club was uh there was literally like three guys in the entire building. I was one of them, and it was my boy. Actually, no, I tell you that there was like five dudes. It was a guy with his two friends, and it was me and my boy, and we're watching these girls. One girl gets like nothing the entire day. It's like the most emotionless dance. Well, how much did she weigh? She was light. Like every every girl at this club was like on the slimmer side, but just yeah, it was a random Friday night of all things, too. And it was just empty. Are there certain criteria that you tip either more or you just tip on? I I don't know, dude. It's been years since I went there. I just like I remember I had a couple of ones. I'm like, all right, just threw it over there. Julian, any criteria?
SPEAKER_02I mean, if they get really, really touchy, sure, I'll give you an extra 20 or 40. See, mine's white.
SPEAKER_01So what's your favorite country of women? It's a hard one. It's very difficult. Just because I've been there, the Czech Republic and Russia. I haven't been to Russia, but I have been every woman in the Czech Republic that I met just walked everywhere, so their bodies weren't immaculate shape. There was a girl that I hung out with, also. Shout out Anna.
SPEAKER_02Honestly, since you did say Russia, you reminded me how fire they are. So, like, I I you want me over. My other one was gonna be Japan.
SPEAKER_01See, you have to remember too. I'm gonna take a spin on it. With the war that's been going on, the Russian male population continues to dwindle as the days go by, which means there will be more women. Yeah, terrible thing that's happening. People shouldn't be dying, but there's now an even greater gap between women and men, which makes it more competitive. So therefore, the women will probably wind up looking even better after this, which is a terrible a sad thing to think about. But like, listen, if there were a hundred guys and there were ten women, the women are gonna go after the best looking men. So now all those hundred dudes, it's gonna be the Olympics. You're gonna be competing for that shit. Yeah, yeah. Which is already a problem that they had because they lost a lot of guys in World War II. Now it's just being repeated again.
SPEAKER_02I can't wait to get a widowed Japanese girl.
SPEAKER_01See, they're not even at war. I'm gonna put a little bit of a spin, I'm gonna put a spin on y'all's Russian thing, okay? Them Ukrainians that have been coming over here. Them too. Yeah, bro. I do know someone from Ukraine right now, actually. Yeah. Ever call in. Or or a light-skinned Brazilian. Actually, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'll go straight to Africa.
SPEAKER_01And we're gonna go into drink of the week.
SPEAKER_02Welcome back to Lola's bar. I know I'm looking a little bit different today, but that's okay. I got my hair done. Today we're going to be making what's called a sweet sunset. What you're gonna want is about three ounces of vodka. Hold on. Sorry, well while I got my hair done, I kind of uh got bad at this for a minute. So you got one and three. Put that up. And then you're going to take three ounces of some schnaps. Okay. A lot of alcohol on this one, you guys. So be ready to get a good drunk, and I hope the boys like it. And then just to top it off, we're going to do four ounces of some good old orange juice. Only we can do a little bit over. There's a lot of alcohol in this one this time. The recipe called for a lot. And last but not least, we spill a sugar sometimes. You might have had a little bit before this, okay? It's a good drink. Now you go ahead. Top it off, shake it up. Talk about something stupid for a second. I don't know anything stupid besides myself. And once you're all done, pour it over some eyes. How do you make a sweet sunset? Now back to the show. Be sure to like, subscribe, comment down below, and text into our anonymous number if you've got anything, any fun stories you want to tell us. We'll see you soon. And we're back. We got the sweet sunset here today, boys. Hold on, hold on. Wait for us, wait for us. Cheers.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they're pretty good. Pretty good. Thank you, Lola. I see the last person that was in the iron lung died. Oh. Well, that's unfortunate. That's sad. Thanks for letting us know. Isn't that like the giant you're just stuck in there for all time? Yeah, forever. Yeah. Death was doing them a favor.
SPEAKER_02Wait, uh, what caused them to have to do the iron lung? It was uh polio. Polio. It was polio. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Spending over 70 years in the machine after contracting polio in 1952 at age six, paralyzed from the neck down. He became a lawyer, author, and tick tock personality, passing away in March 11, 2024, at age 78.
SPEAKER_02How are you a TikTok personality in an iron long? How are you a lawyer? No, he could talk.
SPEAKER_00I mean, there's only for the galaxy. Thank you for the galaxy.
SPEAKER_01There's only so many people in a giant iron capsule. I mean, like, if you do that, you're probably gonna be famous. Hey, by the way, I've been here for 70 years. You want to know you want to know something funny about TikTok live, though? Me and Julian thought we were gonna be millionaires last time we shot TikTok live.
SPEAKER_02We were like, oh, we got another galaxy, dude. We got a heart.
SPEAKER_01When you're running a live, it tells you when people donate to other people.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So it shows up and almost looks like it's donating to you if you don't quite get it. So to a dumb idiot like us, like a little boomer, like a baby boomer. We realized it said so-and-so donate a galaxy to so-and-so.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we were not rich. That was very demotivating. That reminds you of that video of like the guy just commenting a certain amount.
SPEAKER_02I actually talked about that after that, and it's like I wasn't even actually laughing.
SPEAKER_01I genuinely felt so bad because that dad has to explain to all his kids, hey, by the way, we're still broke. Yeah, I could see the joy in his eyes. I don't want to see like the join's eyes die out. I'm sorry, I'm gonna laugh at that. Because, like, dude, come on. No, you gotta put yourself in that guy's shoes. If you had like eight kids and you gotta tell them, like, hey, I cannot give you anything.
SPEAKER_02It took us about 10 seconds to realize that the galaxy that said that made it look like it was being sent to us was not being sent to us. If that guy can't figure out that those aren't comments, and we're literally sitting there in front of people, like, what?
SPEAKER_01You're gonna wind up being like a Johnny Somali at some point down the line. I hope you know that. I don't know who that is, but I'll take that as a case. He's a guy, no, he's a guy who's been a menace in South Korea. He's getting three years in prison right now. Dude, dude, I love the memes with Kim Jong-un right now. Well, it was another one. One like one like and I'll join and I'll bomb when he likes his own post. I mean, Kim wasn't on the island, so I mean he's doing better. That's true. That is true. He's better than Trump. But he did shake hands with Trump. Yeah, he did. He did. He did. I remember actually I was in South Korea on layover going home to the Philippines, and the same day that I was there was the day Donald Trump met Kim Jong un in 64. So every Korean person was just lined up watching the TVs. I'm like, what the fuck is happening? I actually have like a newspaper from that too, where it's Kim Jong un shaking hands with Donald. I'll bring it one in this. Oh wow. Yeah, yeah, it's cool. But what's funny about it is also the fact that. Like, they don't really understand English, apparently, all alone in Korea, because they were playing uncensored shit. Guess what they were playing in the airport? What? Gummo by Takashi69. I'm not gonna say the word. Neighbors, if you uh look, you got the sneaky up, like raw, uncooked, uncensored. And I'm eating like garlic. There's like an old Korean couple next, but like usually like well within social security age, just minding their own business. I'm like, if you knew what was being said right now, you'd be clutching your pearls. Do you have radio cuts over there? No, because it would be the same thing as like, you know, if you hear a culo in a Spanish song, they're not gonna like censor that here, but that means ass. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. You can't just be saying that. But yeah, this is like airports. I love raw and uncensored in a public airport in Korea. Literally, also like the cleanest airport I've ever been into in my life, other than the one in Hong Kong. So on a different note, guys, I have some bad news.
SPEAKER_02We're not getting any feet.
SPEAKER_01We have a death. When was the last time you've been in the Superstition Mall? I've not been to Superstition Mall in like three months. Very, very long time. You remember the double decker carousel? Oh, it's gone now? They're tearing it out. Dang that news.
SPEAKER_02This is the worst news I've heard since 9-11.
SPEAKER_01The second tower's been hit. Terrible news for the movie. The second level of the carousel.
SPEAKER_02There's a second tower?
SPEAKER_01The second carousel's been taken out.
SPEAKER_03What?
SPEAKER_01No, I guess they're putting in a new singles, single level carousel. Oh, why the fuck would they take out the I don't know? Bro, I would I haven't even been on that in a long time. I'd still go. Bro, I'll I don't know when the why haven't you gone? Whenever y'all have been to the Superstition Springs, I think they have more problems than the carousel issues here. They should be putting their money. It's slowly becoming fiesta mall. Yeah, which breaks my heart. Hey guys, we're losing it. Like we are we're losing our childhood spots of just like yeah, fun and degeneracy. Dude, most stores, bro.
SPEAKER_02Save the superstition mall. Go shop there. Get them a little bit of an influx of money so that they can actually get something nice.
SPEAKER_01The question is, where do you think the next mall is going to be hit? Like, is it gonna be Chandler? Is it going to be Arizona Mill? I think Mill. I think Miss Mills. I think Mill is cool. They're gonna shut down the human trafficking centers. Oh, well, maybe not then, actually. It's gonna move to the street. Unfortunately, they did shut down that one Japanese restaurant by superstition that got caught for human trafficking. Sakura? Sakura No, I think it was a smaller one. You didn't hear about it? No. No, I didn't hear about that. I wasn't aware of this. Who are they trafficking? Mexicans? Sakura Sushi. Sakura Sushi? Isn't that what he said? Sakura Sushi locations in Phoenix, Mesa, Scott Still, and Gilbert was arrested as part of a homeland security investigation into alleged human trafficking. Oh. I was thinking of Sarku, Japan. Now Lau used a recruitment network in Mexico and Central America to find workers paying them in cash and often below minimum wage.
SPEAKER_02Well, so did you care about it? So you heard about what happened with zips too, right? So hold on. You heard about what happened with zips too, right? The same shit. Right? It was zipped, right? You know about that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Zips had the same thing just happened like a few weeks ago.
SPEAKER_01They just shut down an Asian spot for the Mexicans inside of them. You need to be Guang Wei, not BootyR. Them Ice Agers went in there for legends and something's off. Okay. Hang on. There's like a bad bunny.
SPEAKER_00Get the mother out of there.
SPEAKER_02You're not Asian. Why is Juan on the make line? Why is Juan? Get Juan in the back. Get Jang on. Get Jagon. There was supposed to be a guy named Singwoo here. Song Woo?
SPEAKER_01It's like those ones when you We did another drink. I feel so in tune with the climate when I go to Panda Express and I bow after I pay for my meal. And the cashier is Mexican. Thank you. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02Thank you. Thank you. Oh, I just want you. What are you doing, white boy?
SPEAKER_01You know, honestly, I thought the Panda Expresses were safe until I started going to them in Arizona.
SPEAKER_02Did Panda Expresses are not even that good? I I know that's a hot take, but I don't like Panda Expresses.
SPEAKER_01I think Panda Express, as an Asian, I think Panda Expresses. The people that like hate the most are like Asian like Gen Zers who haven't like spent a day in Asia. They're like, this isn't authentic. I remember seeing a YouTube video of Asian people, like Chinese people eating Panda Express. Like, wow, this was really good. Money. Y'all are some elitist motherfuckers. You need to like check yourself.
SPEAKER_02No, like f you. It's not even, it's nothing special. I can cook some fing chicken at home and glaze it in some fing honey sauce. Well, then why don't you the same shit? Why don't you? You can also make a cheeseburger, but people still go to McDonald's. Listen, man, smash burger is not about what you can make at home. I'm not going to McDonald's. Just like I'm not going to Panda Express.
SPEAKER_01It's the convenience of it all. That's the important party.
SPEAKER_02Thank you for joining us this week on the Drunk Cacti Podcast. Thank you for joining me, Julian.
SPEAKER_01Jack. Julian. We appreciate you guys for listening every Wednesday, 3 p.m. Mount Standard Time. And we'll see you next week. Bye. Peace.
