SPEAKER_00 0:16

Start when we want to do it. We should sing. I just made sure to We should sing an intro. See how loud I need you to do it too. Tun-da-da. Tennessee.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

Tennessee.

SPEAKER_00 0:30

Tennity. Huh? I don't know. Tennessee. I was trying to say intensity, but I messed up. Intensity. Inten cities. In ten cities. There's intensity in ten different cities.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

Can you tell the difference? Yeah. Can you feel?

SPEAKER_00 0:46

I mean, I know you can.

SPEAKER_02 0:47

I'm still close. That's the thing. I'm gonna have to hit a big pause if we ever do a uh a video one. They're gonna think the mic is in my mouth.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

You're supposed to make out with a mic without making out with the mic. Are you is your nose touching the mic? Mine is not.

SPEAKER_02 1:02

Mine either. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. No, it's just I mean, that's not, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

If that's your thing, that's your thing. Touch your nose. I'll do it. If you want to eat it, you want to touch your nose, you want to feel it, you want to do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:18

I feel like my nose is a good distance gauge because I got a small nose. So if my nose is touching, I know I'm close enough.

SPEAKER_00 1:24

You sound like Dwight from the office. I got a small nose.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

I do, I got a little button nose. I get compliments on how cute my nose is. From from Amber. I almost said, hey. I don't think I've ever and only amber. Alright, yeah, I think the the nose is a good gauge. I'll just keep the nose on right here.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

You don't have to do that if you really don't want to.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

I'm just how's the nose look? I just want you to know. Does it look weird if I keep the nose on? I mean you say eat the mic. I mean, I need you to be comfortable.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

I'm comfortable. I think I'm comfortable. I need you to be that's all I need you. But I need you and metaphorically, I need you to make out the mic. Metaphorically. I'll be I'll be right up on it. Well no, that's that's the way these were built.

SPEAKER_02 2:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:09

Being this close to the mic omits having the pop filter.

SPEAKER_02 2:13

And you don't want to hold them?

SPEAKER_00 2:15

I feel like I might do better holding it.

SPEAKER_02 2:17

It makes much more noise. That makes sense. They're sensitive. You can hold it.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

You can do whatever you want with it, baby. This is good.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

It's good.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

I'll get used to it. Is it leaning too much? Is it not leaning enough? What do you mean? I don't know. I think it's good. Here, I'm gonna bring a little. I have the couch helping me. Yeah, I got mine wedged under the couch. Yeah, both of the first legs are yeah, yeah. That's how I did it.

SPEAKER_02 2:47

I think. I don't know, it's working though. Does this sound good? You sound great. Thank you. I think we're good to move forward then. Easter.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

Wait, that was this we that was it? We just started? I don't know. Okay. Easter.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

Can you play the the music over? Let's pretend we haven't started yet. That bit that you have the music for, can you play that in our headphones right now? Or is it on a different file?

SPEAKER_00 3:15

I I cannot yet because it's just a project. It's not an actual like MP3 exported project project. It's just kidding, I already forgot. But that funky, it's called the extra fat base. Sick. That was I was like, I wanted some I wanted that as a background as I was thinking about it in general while trying to make one. And then I found that beat. Yeah. But yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:41

I like it. Okay. Alright, well, what do you tell me? Are we do you want to start? Should we start? Have we started? We could go, we could just keep going and then call it good. Call it before is Olive barking? Definitely.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

Why do we go through this every time? It's so awkward to start. Why do we do this every time? That was a great start, though. The whole thing? Where are we at? What are we doing? Who are we? I'm with you. Wait, that's that's the part where you're like I'm Josh. You're in Josh. Oh, okay. This is Oh, you want to do it now? My bad. We're supposed to do it together. We're supposed to do it together.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

I feel like the Royal Street sessions should come first, then we do the Josh and Angel into the intro. Flipping it. Does that make sense? Okay. I feel like the introductions should come right before we start talking. That way we don't have to give introductions again.

unknown 4:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

That makes sense? Yeah. No, I like that. I like that idea.

SPEAKER_02 4:39

We need to do that. I feel like it should be the music. You're listening to the Royal Street sessions, maybe and have like a voice do it. Like an AI voice or something. Like a fucking sports announcer type of. I don't know. I'm just spitballing. And then it'll go into like I'm Josh, I'm Angel, and then the music fades out.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

Voice act. Have you ever voice act before?

SPEAKER_02 5:02

No, what is that?

SPEAKER_00 5:03

Like no, but I would love to like what we just like were kind of just did for like no sound more like a character, not a game show host. Yeah. I see what you're saying, like an animated character. Like a ha, yeah. You know, you gotta voice act. I have I've never done that. I haven't either. I was just curious if you should practice.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

I uh like Timmy Turner and shit, or yeah, I was honestly, I was thinking of that, but it's it's really not voice acting unless it's an original character. Because then it's just doing an impression. Oh if we're if like if we want to do Timmy Turner, it's that's an impression. But right, let's say, like, okay, I'm a hedgehog on a brand new Disney show named Jeff. Then you could do like whatever the fuck you feel like Jeff the Hedgehog could sound like. My name is Jeff. That's the hedgehog.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

You already know. That's what everybody was thinking. It wasn't just me.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

Uh everything. What movie is that? 21 Jump Street?

SPEAKER_00 5:57

21 Jump Street.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

That's fun. Channing Tatum's hot, huh?

SPEAKER_00 6:00

That is the first one.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

I agree with you.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

About the hot guy thing? Yeah, he can be hot. Thanks. I'm glad we didn't gloss over it. Nah, he's he's between the mic in my mouth and the Channing Tatum comment.

SPEAKER_00 6:11

I told Rhee. I was like, I I I know who I am. I know I'm not gay.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

I can tell you when a man is handsome, and I can tell you when a man is way beyond handsome when he's so fucking hot. Exactly. See, you already know. Yeah, Channing Tatum's a good looking boy. Good for him. How old do you think he is? He's probably older than we think. He's probably like early 50s.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

Whoa.

unknown 6:36

No.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

Maybe. I was thinking 43. Early 50s? I can see that. I can see that. Channing Tatum? I can see you mean my cool uncle.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

No, I think Matthew McConaughey is like 52. Alright, alright, alright.

SPEAKER_00 6:47

And he seems well he seems a hundred years older than that. Makes more sense being 52. You're right.

SPEAKER_02 6:52

Channing Tatum is 45.

SPEAKER_00 6:55

Alright. He's too pretty. Alright. He's like too pretty sometimes. He was in the news recently for something. I don't I can't recall right now, right now. He was mad for something, I think.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

I like when he gets a little thick. Every now and then he's like a chiseled guy and he's very handsome, like Magic Mike Channing Tatum, but I like when he when he gets a little chubby in those cheeks.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

What was that movie?

SPEAKER_02 7:14

Uh Step Up.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

You ever watched Step Up? That dance movie? No. It's like a dance academy thing. New girl.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

No, yeah, yeah. I know.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

There's a bunch of them, right? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think there's like three or four.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

Good lord, look at him. Alright, he's not he's he's I who's the hottest guy in the world, do you think? That you know of?

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Obviously, it's probably some dude that we don't know. I don't even know. I don't even know. I've never thought, I've never been asked that question. Well now you have. On the spot.

SPEAKER_02 7:49

Give me your top three guys. Shit. Damn, I don't know. I don't know how to do that. It's kind of hard to you can't just go off looks, especially with celebrities, because then you know their personality so well that you're almost going off vibes, too. Like Matthew McConaughey is not a drop deck, gorgeous man, but he's so fucking cool that he's hot.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Yeah, I could see that.

SPEAKER_02 8:09

Right? I could see that. Janning Tatum. Same. Yeah. He seems hilarious to hang out with and be around.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

So that makes him way hotter. See now I'm like randomly trying to think of an actor guy, but now I can't think of any on the spot.

SPEAKER_02 8:23

But like Tom Cruise, handsome guy, seems like a cunt. Don't want to hang out with him.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

It's like fine wine, though.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

Yeah, he's a Scientologist. He's probably fucking half plastic. He's one of those two? Yeah, he's like the one. He like funds the whole church. I probably made that up. Sorry. But yeah, he's like the biggest one. It's him and John Travolta. JT as well? JT's a big Scientology bro.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Okay. JT's got a weird story, I think. I didn't know that. I did not know that.

SPEAKER_02 8:52

With like his kid or something. I think his kid died. Travolta.

SPEAKER_00 8:57

It died how or what?

SPEAKER_02 8:59

I don't know. I think he had a kid that died. That's like a weird, weird thing about him. Anyways, probably not I'm not even gonna look it up. We'll just go off that one. Um, who else? Leah Remini was the big one that came out and spoke against it. Do you remember her from uh King of Queens? She was Carrie. The wife.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

I know the show. Okay, now that you know now that you said it's the wife, I do know who that is.

SPEAKER_02 9:20

Yeah, the like trashy looking jersey type thing.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

I didn't watch the show like that. I know of it. Yeah. I know that's where that meme came from. What meme?

SPEAKER_02 9:27

Oh, the Lenin. Uh Kevin James with his hand in his pocket. Yeah, that's a fun one. I don't know. The coy look. I don't know. See another one. He's a handsome enough dude, and he seems hilarious. He's a he's an attractive fellow.

SPEAKER_00 9:43

Yeah, and he got yeah, he's he's got a nice little chiseled body now now. Yeah, he's older.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

He's in good shape now, yeah. Yeah, he's bald. Yeah, he he went the bald beard route, which is always such a hot guy move. As soon as you can grow a good beard and go bald, that's like the second era of hot guys. Triple H did that. Triple H was kind of like a pudgy faced, long-haired, clean shaven. He had the the what's it called? The uh the walrus for a little bit, but now he's got full beard, and they do that thing with the beard where it like tapers into a point and it looks like so good.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

Who's got a full beard, right? Triple H. Triple H is bald. Oh, I thought you said uh homeboy. Uh Kevin James. No, he told The Rock. The Rock. Uh no, he doesn't. I thought you said The Rock had a beard. I was like, what? What? I don't know where I thought I heard you say that. No, it's Triple H. The King? Triple H. King of Kings. Triple H. I think I don't know why I put the King and Dwayne Johnson together. My bad. Triple H though, he's been around. Now he owns part of WWE He's the uh, right? He's like the He's the new Vince McMahon.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

He's the new Vince, yeah, pretty much. I don't know the specifics of it, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

We met him once here at uh uh Vince McMahon here at St. Luke's here in the woodlands. You met Vince? This was years ago now, but it was in the cafeteria. Whoa. It was a little awkward saying, can we take a pick with you? But you got a picture with Vince? My brother did. I took it for him.

SPEAKER_02 11:13

That's fucking awesome. Yeah. Have you seen what he looks like now? No, I have not. He looks like an evil, like an evil guy. Okay, maybe I have that. Insane. Maybe I have that. He's got like a pencil mustache, he looks eyebrows? Yeah, crazy. He looks bad. Here, let me pull him up recent. See, these are all this is that's that's Vince. That's like the Vince, you know. Right. Now he looks like uh dude, he was so jacked. Why why is it not popping up? The new the him, Vince McMahon now. His eyes all like dude, look at he he looks crazy.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Okay, no, that looks trippy. Yeah, he's fucked. That looks trippy. His skin is all pale.

SPEAKER_02 11:56

Yeah, and he's got like Botox and his eyebrows are done, he's got like a pencil weird mustache. He looks bad, man. What a bummer. But look at Triple H. Bald, great beard, handsome now.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

Yeah, he looks good. I used to I used to get in trouble in uh California for doing his little like little move. The crotch top? His little crotch top. I used to get in trouble in California for doing that. It's called the socket. Yeah, I know. Yeah, they knew enough. That's so good. They knew enough. And I would do it all the time. I would uh fuck around my sisters and Rikishi them.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Give them the stank face?

SPEAKER_00 12:38

That's so funny. I think it happened at least once or twice. That's good. If it wasn't my sisters, it was definitely one of my nieces.

SPEAKER_02 12:46

Yeah, you have to. You have to give them the stank face. That's so funny. Yeah, I was a big wrestling fan growing up, but I never did. I didn't have like friends that wrestled with me. I had a big life-size teddy bear that I wrestled a couple times.

SPEAKER_00 13:00

Aww. Gay! I was just kidding. For real though?

SPEAKER_02 13:04

The things I ended up doing to that teddy bear were joking.

SPEAKER_00 13:07

That's why jujitsu comes like nothing to you. Yeah, true. That's why you can fucking wrestle take anybody down.

SPEAKER_02 13:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:17

We need you need to be a whole episode. Me? Yes. I'm every episode. I'm in here. No, in it needs to be about you. Thanks, man.

SPEAKER_02 13:26

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_00 13:27

You already know what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 13:29

Kinda.

SPEAKER_00 13:30

You just want to be like about your tell my story. About everything. Mainly your training. Your your talk about training. Training. Your jujitsu. Your ear.

SPEAKER_02 13:46

I just saw the video it re- uh re-popped up on my YouTube of Kimbo Slice. I forget the guy's name. I think it's Jason Anderson that's just got a nasty cauliflower ear. And Kimbo hits him with this big right hook and it explodes. Oh, I know. Brutal. Oh, Kimbo was so gross.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

He died, right? He did. Rest in peace, right?

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Yeah. Yeah. Bummer.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

Yeah, I remember him watching.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

Was it was he was he bum fights? He wasn't bum fights. He was like the first backyard brawl type guy. He had his own channel. He would do like backyard fights. And there were some like popular fighters that went on there. Like Jorge Masvidal went on there before he was like Jorge Masvidal. He's like a very accomplished MMA fighter now who owns a bare knuckle MMA league. But he's had like a great career. And um he was on Kimbo Slice's YouTube channel when he was like fighting back in uh damn, I can't remember the organization. He was fighting somewhere. He's part of a crazy highlight. He got choked out by a reverse triangle with the dude standing up. And he or he was standing up, the dude had a reverse triangle on him. I think it was Anthony Pettis. I might be making all this up though. I'm not though. I have most of this right. I can't I just can't remember the organization.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

Sounds pretty accurate.

SPEAKER_02 14:58

Yeah, I just can't remember who it was for, but young Jorge Masvadal was fighting in Kimbo's backyard on YouTube. That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_00 15:05

See, yeah. It's like the micro. I would have never knew that, knowing that. Now you know. Now you know. See, you learn a little random facts.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Do you know who Jorge Masvadal is?

SPEAKER_00 15:17

I feel like I've heard the name.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Game Bread, boy. He's a monster.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

I feel like I've heard of the name, yeah. Do you follow like UFC at all? Uh no. No. And I'm really sorry that I that I wish I wish I was like into sports and shit more. Okay. Maybe I don't know that guy.

SPEAKER_02 15:35

He's not like a super well-known fighter. He he had like a he had like a heyday a couple years ago. He was popping for a while. Very you know, like Miami dude, talked a lot of shit. Great, great hands. But he got real popular, so this dude named Ben Askren came in. Ben Askren was a really accomplished wrestler and um like collegiate wrestler, not like WWE, like we were talking about, like wrestling, like freestyle wrestling. And um what do you mean? Like the sport, like if a high school has a wrestling school. Oh, okay. Yeah, like Greco Roman or freestyle wrestling, like wrestling wrestling, not wrestling. Um wrestling. Wrestling's different, but he's a very accomplished wrestler, and he was fighting in Bellator, and I think PFL, or no, maybe one championship, murdering dudes, just taking them down. No one could stop him. Great wrestler, didn't have the best hands, but just a really good fighter all around. And um came to the UFC and Jorge Masvedal and him started talking a lot of shit. I forget the initial, they probably just got matched up and were like, whatever. Ben was kind of an inflammatory guy. He would just like talk shit. So did Jorge. And um, they built this fight up for like, I think almost a year, like really built it up. These two hate each other, they're gonna fight, yada yada. Ben, I think at this point, had never been beaten. He'd maybe had like one or two fights in the UFC, undefeated, champion and other organizations, comes to the UFC, gets paired with Jorge. Jorge's been knocking dudes out left and right. So they're like, okay, we're gonna partner or match you up with this dude, Ben. Great fight coming up. They finally get there. Three seconds in, Ben sprints at him. No, no, no. Jesus. I'd be scared. I think Ben sprints at him. He knew the takedown was coming, is what it comes down to. He knew the takedown was coming. So as soon as Ben changes levels, flying knee from Jorge knocked him out cold. And like four four seconds, I think it's still the fastest UFC knockout, and that like skyrocketed him. So now he's like, or he was super popular from that. And this guy's name was Ben Askren. Ben Askren, yeah. That's the guy that got knocked out. Okay. He was the wrestler. Ben Askren and then eventually petered out. Didn't really have a great career in the UFC. Still a great fighter. But now Ben Askren has some like weird health issues, and he died like four times. Like he keeps flatlining. He's good now, I think, but he had some weird shit come up, and then there's like this whole story where him and Jorge buried the hatchet and they did like a podcast together or something. So that's cool. A little full circle moment, huh? Can I show you the knockout real quick? Is it is that bad podcasting? It's four seconds. No, no, no, that's fine. I'm gonna show you the I might have gotten the build-up wrong. I hope I didn't, but it was it was a lot of build-up. And I remember the flying knee. I watched it live. It was insane. It was one of those moments that's like, holy shit. He was doing this really cool thing where he's leaning across the cage or leaning against it, waiting for the fight to start. Can I play the audio in the oh shit? Sorry. All right, here we go. You can just play it.

SPEAKER_00 18:36

We'll get live reactions.

SPEAKER_02 18:37

Alright, I'm a I'm gonna should I turn the volume up? Yeah, do it. I want you to I want you to hear it. Alright. All right. So this is the fight. They finally got to the fight.

SPEAKER_00 18:48

You can bring the audio towards here. Oh, damn. You literally weren't kidding. That was like 0.4 seconds. I think it was four seconds. So Jorge ran at him.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

Jorge ran at him, knew that Ben was gonna be scared of the hand fights pretty much, the like boxing, because he didn't want any part of that, knew he was gonna change levels to go for a takedown, baited him into changing levels, jumped with a flying knee, knocks him out cold. Then follows up with two nasty shots on the ground. Ugh.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

Yeah, brutal. Yeah, that's what I noticed too. Every time like little knockouts like happen like that, and then you get punched twice. Yeah, the person's just doing their job. But you're like, what the heck? Like, why do you keep like why? It's brutal. It's a brutal sport. It's really bad.

SPEAKER_02 19:42

It's a beautiful, beautiful sport, but it can be very brutal.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Yeah, I mean, that's like with any, but like that's those specific context sports. Yeah. Those can kill you. Literally. Oh, yeah. Literally kill you.

SPEAKER_02 19:55

Yeah. Boxing has had more deaths, but it's also been around a lot longer. But boxing has a weird thing. So like with concussions, once you have one, you should probably not get another one like pretty soon after, like right away. So boxing has the standing eight count, which is crazy. So like in the UFC or MMA in general, like if you get knocked down, you can get followed up, and then if you're in dangerous enough condition or bad enough condition, the guy can start peppering you with shots and then the fight's over. Boxing, it's just punches. So if I hit you with a really solid check hook and catch you right on the jaw and drop you, technically in the M in MMA, that would either be fight over or get followed up fight over. Not a ton of brain damage, but you're still getting fucked up. In boxing, you have the chance to to like meet the count, and then they start counting, and you can stand up and you're still dazed. And then you know they check you and they check the hands and stuff, but it's it's still like like Mexican fighters, they just they're known for like crazy chins, and they'll just keep getting up. But they're taking shots and shots and shots.

SPEAKER_00 20:57

And they have a point system as well, too.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

Like with it's the same point system for MMA and boxing, which is dumb. But yeah, they adopted the one from boxing really early on and they haven't updated it since, and it's it's the cause of a lot of controversy in MMA because it's a very hard, it's a very complex sport to judge.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

I was about to say, like, I mean, I can see when you can like judge a a jab or like a kick and miss and whatever, but and and like uh but how would you judge like a takedown or like uh that's that's the debate.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

So the UFC adopted boxing's it's called a 10 point musk system. Musk or must, one of those. And um I think it's musk. Musk sounds. I think it's musk. Right. So like in boxing, if if one boxer barely it's hard to explain. So like if a boxer has a better round but not like a way better round, it's a 10 9 round. He got 10, the other guy got nine points. Right? If it's a runaway, the boxer like destroyed him that whole round, but it didn't finish, it's a 10 8 round. He got 10. And the other guy got eight. So it's way more detrimental in the long run to the final score. MMA adopted the same thing, but it's way harder to give a guy a 10-9 or a 10-8. Draws, I think, should be more common. Like a even just like a draw of a round. Like there's a lot of rounds in MMA where it's a lot of feeling each other out. Both guys land two or three decent shots. Maybe someone attempts to take down, nothing happens. That should be a draw. But they kind of have to lean towards the guy that was more aggressive, you know, was pushing the pace a little more, and then he gets a 10-9, which it's just it's a little, I don't know, it's a little squirrely, but they'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

What are your thoughts on uh power slaps? I can't say the word, but it's dumb.

SPEAKER_02 22:40

It's very dumb. I can't, like it's dumb. It's the dumbest thing.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

I still watch it, like not not. I've never actually seen a full episode or anything. Like I've seen the whole UFC fight, but I've seen nothing but clips. Yeah. And I'm like, how it's dumb. How are you?

SPEAKER_02 22:59

Taking unprotected shots to the head is a it's a bad thing. Unprotected hits. That's what that was. It's a very bad move. That was my thing.

SPEAKER_00 23:05

Unprotected big ass hits.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

Yeah. It's dumb. It's just a dumb thing. I don't know why they do it.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

I was like, I feel like you get more concussions and more any more than anything doing that.

SPEAKER_02 23:15

It's just yeah, I don't I don't know what the uh I mean, I'm sure there's skill to it. Like I doubt that I could go in at my weight class and be the best power slapper just because like I'm sure there is skill. Like these guys, I'm sure they practice something. It's like aiming on a punching bag with how to, you know, I'm sure they load up the hips more than I would imagine and torque the shoulders. I'm sure there's a technique to it, but like I don't know, like the best power slapper, and I could be wrong, but like what is what separates them from the guy seven ranks below them? It's gotta just be luck and who goes first. It seems like. At least with fighting and most sports, it's it's primarily skill-based. Like there's athletic things that kind of overcome those skills, but it's mostly skill-based. Power slap, it just doesn't seem like a ton of skill. And if there is skill, it seems like it'd be like one skill. Strength. Yeah, well, yeah, and just like I guess accuracy more so. Because if you just fucking I think you I from what I've seen, they just lock the arm out, the palms gotta be out. Everyone's palm is roughly the same. Maybe they can uh like toughen their palms up. Maybe you can like uh TIE fighters, they'll do uh like shin training, they'll kick banana trees for years and years and years so that their shins calcify, they're a lot harder. That's crazy, but your palm isn't a bone. So I don't know how you maybe you could like build calluses up on your palm that way it's like rougher or like heavier, maybe you can have heavier hands, but they just lock it and spin. And I would imagine I don't know. It just seems I don't like it. I can't watch it anytime a clip comes across. I scroll past, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_00 24:52

Yeah, I it's one of those like I like I hate the outcome, but I'll but let me watch it happen. Yeah, it's like car crashes, like dash cam videos.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

You go, oh, this isn't gonna be good, but I'll I'll stick around. Let me see what's happening.

SPEAKER_00 25:06

And then there's the ones where they're well, they're they they will slap the person and then someone edits it and then turns into them ends up riding like a fucking Super Mario golf cart.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Those are funny, or like, yeah, in outer space. Yeah, yeah. Those are funny. Yeah, I'll give them that, but it's just yeah, no, that seems like a very um I think I heard Joe Rogan because Joe Rogan's very integrated in UFC. Who? And um him and Dana White, who owns Power Slap and UFC. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Is uh they're very close friends. Oh yeah, yeah. And I think Joe Rogan recently said on a podcast that he thinks Power Slap is just Dana's gambling money. Because Dana has like a very outward gambling addiction, not addiction, but like hobby. He's a very big gambler.

SPEAKER_00 25:52

I guess yeah, yeah, I've heard of those.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

And um he wants to set aside his like UFC money, and then but power slap is like his gambling money. That's a decent theory, I think.

SPEAKER_00 26:01

That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 26:02

I mean, with a dude that rich, like why because Dana White initially started the UFC, he was a he was a boxer and a really big boxing fan and a promoter, and then was like, I'm gonna start this other thing with the Fertita, yada yada. And now you don't you don't regress from creating the biggest organization in combat sports to fucking power slap. Like, what's the benefit in that? There's no there's no like you're not growing the sport, those guys aren't transitioning to MMA. These are just it's a completely different thing. I don't maybe Dana has like a fucking I was gonna say maybe he has a slap fetish. That's funny. Do you remember that video that came out of Dana slapping his wife at the club? No, that's so funny. But it did. There was a video of Dana White, he's probably just drunk and arguing with his wife, but then like he either pushed her or slapped her a little bit. But whatever.

SPEAKER_00 26:55

Anyways, maybe he's got a slap fetish. All these guys, too, maybe they look like they just got out of jail or the power slap athletes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:04

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Not all of them look like it, but it's like maybe you're right. It's like they have that fetish from being in jail and being well, maybe, yeah. It might just be well.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

I I don't know if there's like oh my god, dude. I don't follow power slap close enough. The only one don't be so open about it.

SPEAKER_00 27:23

Yeah, I don't want to see you on TV doing it.

SPEAKER_02 27:26

I think Paige Van Zant did Power Slap, and she was like an MMA fighter who was like known for being a hot chick. She like eventually did OnlyFans, I think. She was like a decent MMA fighter, but never like top tier. And I think she ended up going to PowerSlap, but that's probably just a money grab. He probably paid her crazy money to go to power slap. But I could be wrong. She might have just gone to BKFC, which is bare knuckle. I know she did bare knuckle boxing, so maybe she did that.

SPEAKER_00 27:51

I'm confusing that with power slap, but bare knuckle, like literally bare knuckle or uh they rap, they wrap them.

SPEAKER_02 27:56

Okay, but yeah, it's brutal. Mike Perry's like the king of it. Um yeah, the power slap thing's dumb, it's so dumb. Maybe it'll be the next big thing though. The even dumber thing, I get it's on par with power slap on how dumb it is. It's called Run It. Have you seen that? No, I have not. Bro, they just take two giant Samoan dudes. Do you know what the Oklahoma drill is? I do not play football. I do not either. I'm sorry. You play football in high school or anything?

SPEAKER_00 28:24

I tried. You tried out? You didn't make they have like tryouts? So when I say I tried, I wrote down that I was gonna be in it, but never showed up to any of the practices.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

It's not trying very hard.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

So first day of school, they're like, oh, so you're Mr. Cardinals. Damn. They're like, that's we've been looking for you all summer.

SPEAKER_02 28:46

That's so funny.

SPEAKER_00 28:47

Like, oh, we moved you to PE.

SPEAKER_02 28:49

You're like, I tried.

SPEAKER_00 28:51

I tried to be cool.

SPEAKER_02 28:53

That's what it was. Oklahoma drill is a drill in football that's usually not used anymore because it's not the safest, but football's not the safest, or whatever. It's a drill where there's two blockers or two linemen on each side, three people on each team, two linemen, one running back, one linebacker. It basically ends up just being the running back and the linebacker colliding and seeing who can hit the hardest. Yeah. It's a fun drill to do when you were like 15. Right. But this run it organization is it just takes two giant Samoan dudes. I think one of them holds a rugby ball. I could be wrong on that. And they have a turf strip laid out, probably 30 yards, 20, 30 yards apart, and they count down three to one go, and these two dudes behemoths at each other full speed and just fucking nail each other, dude. It's insane. People get knocked out cold. It's crazy. Ooh, never heard of that. Never heard of that. Insane, dude. And it's just the biggest dudes, like these 300-pound Samoans sprinting at each other, bonking each other on the head, or like shoulders catching heads. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

It's definitely a rich people fetishes.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

It kind of seems like that. It's definitely it's almost like that Django scene where it's like it's like, what are we who's this for? That's insane. I know that like rugby players and football players take a lot of pride. I used to take a lot of pride in like, oh, I can hit hard. Like, oh, I can take a hit, that kind of stuff. But like carrying that into your 20s and 30s and then doing it with like no pads and uh uh. I don't think especially no helmet, I guess, is the they say like that's the argument for rugby being safer than football because everyone sees it and goes, Oh my god, there's no pads. Football's at least safer because there's pads. Not really. When you have helmets on, you can really throw caution to the wind and just bang the shit out of each other. That's why it's at least wear helmets.

SPEAKER_00 30:38

Yeah. At least wait, what do you say? So that's why they say wear helmets. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

But like in rugby, they avoid head collisions because you don't have head protection. So like the argument is that like if you're not wearing protection, you'll be safer. It makes a little bit of sense, but I mean they're all torso only. Yeah, they're all dangerous. It's all dangerous. But the argument, yeah, but whatever. That's enough sports tar for you, dude. This is an Easter episode.

SPEAKER_00 31:05

It's like we completely forgot, but we didn't at the same time because we were totally into it. Who wouldn't want to learn about head trauma? Jujitsu and head trauma. No, but I did want to, I really did want to know your perspective on Power Slap. Bad. Because of how bad I think it is. I was like, I wonder what it is coming from a person who actually does jujitsu. Yeah. And all you know, all that.

SPEAKER_02 31:32

The funny thing about well, let's get back into it. The funny thing about jujitsu is it's uh it's lumped in with other combat sports. It's lumped in with other combat sports, but what? Um it's not, it's not like people, all right. Damn, I fucked the whole head up. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_00 31:53

That's the best part.

SPEAKER_02 31:54

Full disclosure, we had to cut a phone call, and then now I'm taken back over. I was supposed to talk whenever, but alright, we're back. Uh funny thing about jujitsu is that it's not it's lumped in with other combat sports. Like people think, oh, it's like a and it is technically like it's in the the art of fighting, I guess you could say, but like it's such a not tough guy sport.

SPEAKER_00 32:17

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 32:18

Which I think is complete opposites, but it like it is I get that, but like there's there's levels to it. And like jujitsu's not a violent sport. It it's violent in its own way, but it's a very controlled violence, which all fighting is, but like it's not dangerous like that. Yeah. It's more dangerous, like your limbs and stuff, like your joints, but it's not like you're not gonna get a ton of head trauma. I forgot why I was even talking about it. I'll still break your leg, I'll still yeah, like it's dangerous for like armbars, you can get choked out, like stuff like that, but like you can tap and it's all over. It's one of the only like combat sports that you can go full full strength into like training, like full what's the word I'm looking for? Like full gear, pretty much. Like you can go all the way in. Full metal, you can train as hard as you want, 100%, and not get hurt because it you know it's not as high impact. But like boxing, you can't spar 100% all the time or you're gonna die. I can see you being way more sore with uh jujitsu every day. Dude, people that start jujitsu and have so like when you start jujitsu, you get sore, but I think the real soreness comes probably like I'll say like a month or two in, whenever you finally get the hang of it, and you first get your like real training session of like okay, I know what I'm doing a little bit, and you can you can train it's called rolling in jujitsu, like the sparring is called rolling. So, like when you're brand new, when you're rolling, it's a lot of like when you're rolling trepidation. Yeah, I know it's the same thing as like Molly, but it's not, it's just called rolling, but like there's a lot of trepidation with new people and rolling because then like something will happen, you get in a position you've never been in, and you stop and you go, Oh, I don't really know. And then whoever you're training with usually has to be like, oh, don't worry about like work this out, work this out. When you finally get past that point of like not stopping during your roles and like asking questions, and you're really just kind of flowing with it the whole time, and you go to like an open mat and you train for an hour straight and without stopping, and you're like fighting the whole time, that's when the real soreness kicks in, and that'll hit you years in too. I'd be years into training, and you go to an open mat and hit like a hard hour, hour and a half session, and you wake up feeling like you got hit by a truck. It's brutal because it's yeah, it's just full body.

SPEAKER_00 34:38

Yeah, I can I've heard I I don't know how real or I mean I can see it being real uh as a joke on the office. It's not even a joke. What's his face? Robert California? You ever watched The Office all the way?

SPEAKER_02 34:52

Yeah, who's no not all the way though? Oh yeah, this is like season nine.

SPEAKER_00 34:55

Oh no. Uh Robert California, the CEO of Sabre, aka Dender Michlin Division. Anyways, um he does he would he would rather he said sparring like sparring on mat for three hours is is equivalent to climbing the mountains or or running this many miles.

SPEAKER_02 35:20

Maybe yeah, like calorically he means like burning calories.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

So you'd rather do that once a month than run or do this every that every day.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

I mean, it makes a little bit of sense.

SPEAKER_00 35:31

I don't know where I was going with that. No, it's just yeah. He was doing jujitsu, that's what it was.

SPEAKER_02 35:36

It's definitely your heart rate stays up. Yeah. It's a cardio intensive, intensive workout. Very sweaty. Yeah. Is he doing jujitsu?

SPEAKER_00 35:44

That's what it looked like. They were yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:46

That's cool.

SPEAKER_00 35:46

Or wrestling. Wrestling?

SPEAKER_02 35:48

It's maybe yeah, it's a lot of the same. A lot of crossover in those two sports, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:53

They're definitely like choking each other out.

SPEAKER_02 35:54

They're definitely wrestling, so it's jujitsu or judo has some chokes technically. Okay, I think it's just leg attacks. I don't remember. But yeah. Oh, it's an Easter episode. Oh, yeah. See that little bunny right over there. Yeah. I decorated the whole studio for Easter.

SPEAKER_00 36:13

Yeah. Even the even the roadcaster is like colorful.

SPEAKER_02 36:17

Yeah, it's got the pastels going. It's naturally colorful. What are the odds of that?

SPEAKER_00 36:21

But yeah, Easter, huh? What do you do on Easter? Nothing. Like is your family sometimes get together?

SPEAKER_02 36:27

Sometimes. Easter is such a boring sport or asset sport. Holiday.

SPEAKER_00 36:31

Easter's uh Is it one of your slower episodes uh holidays with your families compared to the rest?

SPEAKER_02 36:37

Yeah, definitely, because it's more for like young kids. Amber's family has a lot of younger ones, so we'll go like do an Easter egg hunt every now and then. That's fun.

SPEAKER_00 36:44

But mine's pretty big for that. Yeah. A lot of for the kids, a lot of the mainly for that, you know, for the Easter baskets. You get to hide the eggs sometimes. That's fun. That's fun.

SPEAKER_02 36:54

That's always fun. Yeah, that's so cool. You put it way too high. Dude, last time we were at uh we were at Amber's family one, and I was in charge of hiding it, and they do a couple golden eggs with like a couple bucks in it or whatever. Dude, I leaned up this, it was like an extension ladder. Dude, I do that shit on purpose when I know there's money in it. Yeah. Sorry, go ahead. I leaned an extension ladder against the carport, climbed that bitch, and put it at the top. Just had the parents not just stressing a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 37:20

Nobody and nobody questioned the parents?

SPEAKER_02 37:22

No, I think one of the boys ended up climbing it and getting it. One of the teenager boys, or anything? No, he was young. I forget how old he was. Maybe like 10, I think, is the one that got it. I'm probably exaggerating. I don't think it was all the way up on the extension ladder. It was high, though. It was high. And um, and then I put one in like a gutter on a shed in the back. But yeah, Easter's fun. It's just not up there with the like top holidays.

SPEAKER_00 37:46

I remember when I was a child and how and when it was how fun it was. Yeah. Getting an Easter basket. That was cool as shit. So cool. That was cool as shit. Candy's great. Oh, again, I'll never forget the money ones, the golden ones, as you see.

SPEAKER_02 38:00

Yeah, you think candy's awesome until you open one and get a dollar and you go, sometimes it would be a fiver. That's nice. Yeah, that's nice. But yeah, Easter is just I I even tried looking up fun facts. You know what I learned looking up fun facts about Easter? What's that? Easter's boring as shit. There's really not a lot of fun facts.

SPEAKER_00 38:18

Yeah, it's also it's to be honest, it's really it's also a big uh it's a big religious one.

SPEAKER_02 38:25

Yeah, apparently it's the oldest religious holiday.

SPEAKER_00 38:27

That's the oldest religious holiday. Yeah, that's cool. And it is it is big with the Catholics Holy Thursday and Good Friday. They celebrate the night before in going into today.

SPEAKER_02 38:40

Was Ash Wednesday this Wednesday also?

SPEAKER_00 38:42

No, this ash Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday was like the beginning of Lent. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 38:46

Ash Wednesday leads to Good Friday. The first week, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:50

What's Holy Thursday? Uh I think uh Holy Thursday is just uh to be honest, I okay. Listeners, don't get mad. I don't I think it is just in preparation of realizing you know that he's being put on the cross.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

Okay. Oh, so Good Friday was the day he was buried?

SPEAKER_00 39:14

Good Friday was the day that yes, that he was like he was buried. That he was put up and give up. Okay. Gave up everyone himself for for everyone.

SPEAKER_02 39:23

Because Easter is the resurrection, right?

SPEAKER_00 39:26

Easter is the resurrection, yes.

SPEAKER_02 39:27

Okay, and it was three days. Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:29

When he wake when he wakes back up and yeah. That's fun. Yeah. So technically during the masses, like he's been he's been uh what they call covered to where he's not there.

SPEAKER_02 39:43

Yeah. And then uh like physically in the church?

SPEAKER_00 39:47

Right.

SPEAKER_02 39:47

They cover him up.

SPEAKER_00 39:48

We covered him up. Whoa, really? And then y'all do a reveal? Uh so actually I have to work overtime. It's not I don't even know if it's overtime, it better be overtime. Either way, I don't care.

SPEAKER_02 39:56

Heck yeah, sorry. It was for him. Yeah, um shout out J Dodoc. Big Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 40:03

Um Yeah, I gotta go in early tomorrow. Gonna unveil him that way when mass start, when the people walk into mass, they're like, oh, he's he has resurrected, he's back. Oh, that's so cool. He's here. That's awesome. Like he's back in the room. And we're also that's also when a lot of baptisms happen.

SPEAKER_02 40:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:20

A lot of baptisms. So part of our duties this uh weekend is uh we're gonna empty out the the font. What is what they call a baptismal font.

SPEAKER_02 40:31

What's a font?

SPEAKER_00 40:32

It's literally a um like a baptismal jacuzzi.

unknown 40:36

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:37

Okay, yeah, yeah. The tub. It's just yeah, it's a tub. Okay. But the they call it it's the actual word is a baptismal font.

SPEAKER_01 40:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 40:45

Which you wouldn't think. You're like, oh, you think a fountain when you think that, right? Yeah. Or like font, not font. I was thinking of like title letters. Yeah. Yeah. Baptismal font. It's where they do all the baptisms. So what we do, we clean it out once a year. So right now it's being empty, it's empty right now, and then we're all gonna go in tomorrow. And you can't clean it with any chemicals, you can't do it with anything harsh. It's gotta be all natural. Nice. Because once it fills up, the father has to bless it. And you can't bless poisoned water.

SPEAKER_02 41:20

What do y'all fill it with?

SPEAKER_00 41:21

It's literally just water. Like tablets.

SPEAKER_02 41:23

Soft water. Soft water? Yeah. Okay. Y'all do run it through a softener? Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say there's a lot of we don't have the best water up here.

SPEAKER_00 41:30

So some of it, some of the hard calcium has gotten through, and you can see it like when you actually see it physically. Yeah. So that's part of why we have to clean it once a year. Because there is some that gets through.

SPEAKER_02 41:43

Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

And it there there is residue.

SPEAKER_02 41:46

So he blesses the entire thing, and then that makes the entire font full of holy water.

SPEAKER_00 41:51

So it's already it's already filled up, like we fill it up. Okay. And they come and do the whole prayers and yeah, but him blessing is what makes it holy water, right?

SPEAKER_02 42:01

Right. Okay. Right. That's cool.

SPEAKER_00 42:04

And then people just bathe in it. And then sometimes it's more than one father. More than one priest, so it's like an extra blessed.

SPEAKER_02 42:12

Nice. That's fun. Do y'all uh what are y'all under like a certain what's it called? A diocese? Y'all are under a certain diocese?

SPEAKER_00 42:21

So yeah, that's actually what I am technically hired under the archdiocese.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

Which one? The Houston Galveston. It is Houston Galveston. Yeah. Okay, that's one of my grandmother's church is in too. Is it uh do y'all have the cardinals roll through every now and then and do some cool stuff?

SPEAKER_00 42:38

Uh it's been it's I don't think I've seen a cardinal yet. The most recent one I saw was uh he was a cardinal. No, it was a bishop. Oh okay, yeah. It was a bishop. No cardinals yet. I haven't seen any yet. No. But yeah, a little roll through, and then we have the deacons all the time, you know. That's cool. Assisting during mass. Uh there's some that there's some that I've met, there's some that I haven't. They're all different. Every single sing every single father slash deacon, you know, they're all their own everyone has their own personalities, their own little flavor on it. And they're the same even when you talk to them. There's no there's no acting.

SPEAKER_02 43:18

Yeah. Is the one you work at is it mostly Spanish speaking?

SPEAKER_00 43:24

It's actually in my opinion, okay, so y I say yes only because it's the only Catholic church in the in the area that's not the woodlands. Oh, okay. But yeah, it is also very huge with the English. There's a lot of English masses. I think in my there's more English masses than Spanish masses. I'll say that. Yeah. But the Spanish masses get packed and overflow happens. So this weekend what we do too uh we uh the chapel turns into an overflow during the weekend 'cause it gets so full. So during the Mass, while w you know, not everybody fits in the church. They'll hear the same church, but you gotta go through the connecting doors into the chapel. Um and while sometimes mass is happening, there's adoration at which is another version of uh praying. We had to move that all to the what we call the Archangel Hall. And that's basically where you like rent out for like the parties and like big old event hall. Yeah. Nice place. It used to be church. Now it turned into an event hall. Okay. That is now the chapel this weekend because of how busy the masses get so it's basically it's just we it's another prayer room.

SPEAKER_02 44:47

How many people are you thinking? What's the turnout?

SPEAKER_00 44:49

But the tab but the tabernacle is in there. The tabernacle is what hold Jesus what holds Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 44:55

That's the little room right that has the it's a little like a shrine almost yes yeah okay yeah that thing.

SPEAKER_00 45:02

How many people you think is gonna be this weekend for the turnout like what's the biggest mass y'all have oh hundred oh thousand what yeah is that big yeah it gets bad I mean yeah it gets big holy shit not the whole no no it gets they have to do the parking uh parking ride at the 105 bridge really that you know I'm talking about next to the library and the veterans yeah uh whatever yeah there's a parking ride to have parking ride for that that's cool it gets no it gets to the thousands wow this church makes a lot of money that's awesome this church makes millions of dollars really through don through donations I always thought this was like a smaller church where is it is it huge it's oh it's huge yeah yeah they had to think of where it is it was I feel like I've seen or I know where most of the churches are it was rebuilt well not rebuilt it was built in 2018 because the one that was already there was they realized how tiny it was okay and how many people there are in Conroe that go to mass yeah go to church but yeah no it's uh um down Frasier all the way down Frasier north sorry south you can uh uh intersects with uh Metcalf okay it's in between Metcalf and Gladstelling sorry before you get to uh fucking La Palma before the bridge before you go under the train yeah it's right there to your right oh okay it's that big big old church okay yeah it's uh it's been a yeah it's been around for a while now okay but that's cool we get all the us as maintenance guys we get all the we're starting to get all the problems now yeah like sprinkler problem oh speaking of that that's I put uh we put in some uh no parking signs like weeks ago and then uh this past week I I think I talked about it in the last episode I don't remember about the sprinkler system I think you might have talked to me about it off air well anyways I put a parking sign ended up stabbing two pipes of for the sprinkler system so as soon as we turned on the water to try to try to make sure everything works it was a fucking fountain anyways I fixed it hell yeah it only took me the whole two weeks no it took me took me about a week it felt it felt like two weeks though because that shit was a bitch and I uh I used to work with my stepdad and um he's a plumber electrician and I would dig trenches for him and um every now and then you'd get I hate digging it's the worst it's annoying every now and then you'd get a really you know it's the the typical shit like a hard ground but then a lot of the times there's like big old roots in the way so I'd take a sawzall and I'd be sawing these roots to like make way for the gas lines or whatever we were gonna lay electrical lines plumbing whatever.

Oh so yes you know this guy okay it's not boys okay no he's awesome good good good good that's the weird thing yeah talking to people that went to big high schools like this and then you like you oh I like know someone from school not the guy you were just talking about but like I've heard people say like oh I know him from school but then like never had a class together. It's weird to me that yeah you could have gone to high school with someone and not known them. I know the first and last of everyone I went to high school with and like know them okay yeah it's weird it's a weird like I know like I know a lot of their parents I think I just know them I think I'd prefer that it's awesome it was awesome I mean it comes with I mean everything has its pros and cons but like maybe yeah like you said pros and cons pros and cons. But uh yeah it was awesome I liked the I like the small school vibes that I had it was fun. I bet you they loved Easter who's that everyone what do you mean who doesn't love Easter are you talking about at the school yeah yeah true I mean Easter rules Easter Easter's it's the fucking it's awesome yeah man it's uh dude shout out to Bunny shout out energizer yeah Easter honestly sucks I didn't really think about it until we were talking about doing an Easter episode and then all week I was like yeah we're gonna do an Easter episode and then today I was like all right time to prep for the Easter episode and just thinking about it I was I don't have any good Easter stories I don't have any facts it's not fun last last recording you're like let's let's talk about Catholicism and I'm like whoa whoa whoa I mean honestly with the Easter episode we talked about but I think enough I think we talked just enough yeah it was good and I might have pissed off somebody I don't know if I do it I don't think I did about what because I don't know my facts on Catholicism like the way I should you're fine I work I work on I work too much there's too much there there's too much facts there really is actually Catholicism is very good point very intricate system it's but you did say it on the last while I was editing it like let's talk Catholicism I'm like okay all right but I think you just said that because it is Good Friday today. Yeah it's good Friday and Easter's a mostly Catholic holiday isn't it I guess it's all Christian but like Catholic's the big one yeah that like cares about it.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:37

Take it serious man they're making me work overtime so that's the big one I guess Christmas is like the big one huh? Or is Easter bigger Easter's bigger yeah bigger but Easter I'm noticing that Easter is well I mean Christmas is totally different because they have a night mass that's different the midnight mass yeah that's different that's a whole different story. Christmas is his birthday yes yeah Easter's the resurrection Christmas is the birthday what's another big religious holiday is it just those two that's it I think so yeah yeah I guess Easter would be a much bigger I mean the birthday who cares birthdays aren't that big of a deal it's true also almost certainly not correct on that's his birthday it's almost for sure right some of the things sometimes like when I say some of these things I'm like am I right am I wrong I don't even know what I'm saying yeah we're probably missing a really big religion talking about like yeah who knows Easter yeah that makes sense that it's the big one Ramadan true is that's Muslim right is it yeah yeah yeah and that's religion talk shout out Easter shout out Easter shout out eggs and bunnies chocolate I love Ferrero Rochere Ferrero Rochere is the best Ferrero Rochere God they're good those are so good have you got the multi pack with the different flavors the white and the dark oh shit no they have a dark you like dark chocolate I'm starting to like it more I'm a big dark chocolate guy and that's not you wouldn't yeah it's healthy shout out Denzel stupid what is he it was a dark chocolate show I thought I thought you were getting in my I thought you were gonna say I had a fetish for black girls oh I don't yet I was gonna say I mean you got a white girl so currently let's see if she listens she might be out there right now she said she was leaving let's see she's oh no she's not here yet thank god I'm probably home already doing the cupcakes you got a white girl too that's true we got a couple white girls that's fun we do we do and they they can stand each other yeah that's good that's another cool thing I think I thought about that I'm not gonna lie I really thought about that I was like they can I was like it's like what are the odds like it's work it's working out they like if you put two white girls in a room it's it's not always the best odds no white girls are great um one always talks and one always talks more than the other yeah definitely was the talker yeah Amber's not a chatter I love your whenever I think that's why her and I work out too though I'm way more chatty and I'm and I'm the chatty one of us between me and her. Yeah I'm the one that's like uh like when we go out in public like I have to do the talking oh really unless it's like restaurant what happens there sometimes I'll well I mean it depends actually I'll be like let me tell them your order ooh very chivalrous but what I'll do I'll tell the waitress or waiter I'd be like let me see if I remember she's gonna want da da da da da ba da ba da ba ba To the check mark. Got him all right. Okay. And then that's a smooth way to get it. And then there's times where we're like at Subway or like Chipotle, I'm like, all right, you're up. Dude. I was like, I'll say this part. I'll say this part. You do your vegetables and all that.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:15

I whenever we go to like a Chick-fil-A, every now and then I can't. I'm trying to think of a specific Starbucks sometimes. I can't remember her exact order. I just make her say it into the the monitor or the speaker. I try to repeat it and I sound dumb sometimes. I just but yeah, she'll hit me every now and then at a restaurant and be like, order my food. And I I panic. I go, no. Really? Order your fucking food. You order your fucking food. I'm gonna seem like an overbearing dickhead if I order you. Oh, she'll have the fucking whatever. I go, alright. That seems weird.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:46

That's why I like make it jokingly.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:49

Yeah, that was a smooth way to do it. Be like, let's see if I remember this right. That's good. It's good. I I don't.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:54

I just go, no, you do it. Alright, and then there's like times where uh at a uh like a family party, she'll make me walk in first. I'm like, babe, you already know it's ladies first.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:05

Yeah, that sucks.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:06

You can't do this to me. She's like, I don't care. Go in front of me.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:09

I'm like, okay. Sorry about my mic noises. It's falling. I'm trying to it's fucking what's happening here. How dare you? Hold on, sorry. All right, all right.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:21

How dare you ruin it? I'm just kidding, you're you didn't ruin anything.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:24

But yeah, no, I don't I don't like ordering the food. Have you seen that trend of the uh the girls that are recording their boyfriends or husbands secretly whenever the waitress comes up? And they'll all right, so like the waitress will walk up, she'll be holding the phone down here secretly recording, and the guy will either order first or the waitress will ask the lady, like, what do you want? And she'll look at the boyfriend and go, Do I have to have the salad again this time, or can I have whatever I want? Oh shit. So funny. The guys go, What the fuck? I didn't fucking tell you you had to have a salad. It's so funny. Anyways, that's that's uh that's the segment called What Josh has been watching on YouTube Shorts.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:00

Dang, I haven't been watching anything on YouTube Shorts. No, I haven't been watching anything. I've been editing, I've been trying to focus on this fucking intro song, dude. True. It's getting good. I like it. I like where it's at, which is completely different to where I want it to be, but yeah, it it sounds cool at the same time.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:17

It does sound cool, it's very techno vibey alien.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:20

Which is funny too. They're gonna be added in uh the episodes that we already recorded.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:27

Oh, that's funny.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:28

So it'll be a little yeah, it'll be a little throwback. That's cool. Whenever they're listening. They're gonna I'm gonna upload, I said two at last time, now it's gonna be three. Okay. Or four. Who knows?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:38

Who knows? We'll get there.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:41

We're not in a rush. That way they're that way they're there. We've been consistent. We have been.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:46

We've been banking them once a week, just nailing them. Nailing them to the cross. Just coming into this the studio and just dropping fucking gold. Nailing it to the cross. Did you catch that? That's Easter right there.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:57

Stations. Yeah, man. Look at that. That's an Easter pod. What a reference. That is literally station 13 and 14.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:03

You gotta nail them to the cross, like pin the tail?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:05

Yeah, that is the those are the ones when he did it. Really? Yeah. That is crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:12

What is stations of the cross? What do you what is that? What do you do?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:14

So let me let me read it. I don't want to sound stupid, but it's basically the uh official. It's the the order of how he you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:25

Uh but then like in the actual mass, do you go around? Is there actually stations set up? Here's one, here's two, over here. You like circle them?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:33

So there's yeah, they're literally like statues. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:37

Hung up statue and you say a specific prayer at each one? Yes. About what happened?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:43

Oh, is the prayer like pre-written or do you kind of freestyle it, or is it like one of those that like you have to say a specific thing?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:49

No, it's all you have to say the specific stuff. That's gotta be so hard to remember. It is a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Christ's final journey, passion, death on Good Friday. The purpose is to help believers meditate on the passion and the death of Jesus, promoting reflection on compassion, re repentance, and gratitude.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:14

Is that the final step or the final uh station?

SPEAKER_00 1:10:18

Uh the final station, Jesus' body is placed on the tomb.

unknown 1:10:22

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:23

So he was nailed to the cross on the 11th. Okay. On the 11th one. What's number one? So Jesus is condemned to death. That's one. Number two, Jesus carries the cross.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:36

Jesus fails the third the third time. Sorry. The third, Jesus falls the first time. The fourth, Jesus meets his mother. Number five, Simon and Cyrene help Jesus carry the cross. Number six, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:57

Pause. Who's Veronica?

SPEAKER_00 1:11:00

See, this is where I wish I could tell you more. Oh, never mind, never mind. This is where I wish I could tell you more about these. And this is where I learn at work and still learning at work who these names are and who and what they did. Okay. I'm still learning as a full-on Catholic. They grew up Catholic. Gotcha. For the listeners that want to know too. Yeah. Like I'm I'm still learning. Uh number seven, Jesus falls a second time. Eight. Jesus comforts the women of Jerusalem. Nine. Jesus falls a third time. Ten. Jesus is stripped of his garments. Eleven. Jesus is nailed to the cross. Twelve. Jesus dies on the cross. Thirteen. Jesus' body is taken down from the cross. 14. Jesus' body is placed on the tomb. So technically right now he is died on the cross. So tomorrow when I go into work and when the people go into mass Sunday, Easter Sunday, he's back up.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:10

What was his official COD? Yeah, like he was just nailed up there and then for so long that he died of like thirst? Yeah, oh yeah. Or was it it was a long time he was up there? Yeah, he didn't eat.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:23

He didn't he didn't drink.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:25

I don't know if he died like three hours later.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:26

No, no, no, he didn't eat bloodless. He was malnourished.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:33

Yeah. Talk about Easter. You just imagine. I didn't expect to do that. No, it's funny. That is where that is exactly where we went.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:42

I just heard that. I'd never know. I'd always heard Stations of the Cross. I never really knew what it meant. I thought it was more like a uh almost like a harvest festival or something. Like y'all go to each station and it's more of like here you drink wine. I don't know. Is that a hammer?

SPEAKER_00 1:12:57

Yeah. Yeah. No, it's like it's literally a prayer circle. Okay. Like, well, you can follow the father and like kneel up and down, or you can sit in one spot and just like spin as they go around the room. Oh, that's cool. Which is what I did.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:13

But each one you have to remember a specific prayer.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:16

So they give you booklets.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:17

Yeah, yeah. But like it's it's a pre-written thing. Yes. How long are they?

SPEAKER_00 1:13:21

Oh, they're not. I mean, they're a nice little paragraph long.

unknown 1:13:25

Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:26

Wow. Yeah. So people are on their knees for a while. Do some people remember it by heart? I can see that. Yeah. Damn.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:32

I bet my grandma does.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:34

I I I believe that.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:35

She'd been a Catholic for a long time. Yeah. Jeez, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:40

That's fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:42

Oh yeah. Not heaven. Heck yeah. That's cool.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:46

Bad timing. Unfortunately, we do that at church. Yeah, it's hard. While working there, we talk bad and we didn't realize and we're like, oh, we're sorry. We literally see we're sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Because we're in there working on a pew or something. We're talking like that. Yeah, saying that in a church is a brutal move.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:07

Oops. It slips out. It slips out. What are some what are some future themes we're going to do here? This one was Easter. The last one was what? Food.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:18

Last one was food. I think I think we wanna we wanna get inebriated for one of the things. Yeah, yeah, we gotta get we'll do a drunk one. Um I think one. I think we should do one while we're eating. What are we gonna eat? I can fucking eat crunchy. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:39

I don't eat much crunchies of those chips. I eat those chips.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:42

We made uh we made potatoes and crunch uh and cheese to where they baked and the cheese was crunchy and the potato was all soft. Really? The cheese was on it? I think I made it once. Whenever you guys came, did when that that one time we invited you guys over for dinner, it was a fail kind of. It was like Parmesan, Parmesan Golden Potatoes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:06

No, those were good.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:08

They're like that. Yeah, those were good. That's basically what we made the other day. Okay. By using yellow cheese. We need to do a music episode. Yeah, that'd be cool.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:17

That'd be fun.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:19

Um uh food for sure. Yeah, we know. When I say food, I mean like we should go go to a food market, grab some weird food stuff, or like go to a world market, grab some shit from there. Yeah. Um try weird shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:34

I'm always down to try weird shit.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:36

Guests for sure. Guests in the future. Yep. I think uh I don't know, man. It really just depends where we go.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:44

We're gonna have some segments. I can't think of a specific segment we'll have. I don't know. I just think of music every time I hear two segments, and that excites me. I get excited thinking about hitting like a thing, being like, now it's time for something, and then you hit a fucking button, and it goes now it's time for the thing, and then we say the things. I'm Josh. Yeah. I'm not. We should introduce no, never mind. That's a dumb, dumb bit. So dumb. I'm dumb. Did you just what? I was gonna say for the intro that we were gonna do, we should pretend to be each other. This is stupid. That'd be hey, that's funny. It's not, it's confusing. It's confusing.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:27

Hey, you're right. Oh no, you're right. It's dumb. See, hadn't a train going for a second. I gotta keep my thoughts in my head.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:35

Just the just the dumb ones.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:38

I think I think we're gonna end it here.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:41

I'm surprised we didn't end it like 20 minutes ago.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:43
