Okay, everybody welcome back to the figure podcast. We're a little late to the party about three weeks
Big Christmas break where there's Christmas there was late and good not leading Alex going on a trip. He got sick
We decided to just kind of wait
Until he was better to do stuff like that
But uh, yeah, so we're back now and this is the sixth episode and we're just gonna be talking about
Media and stuff now that Alex is feeling better. We're all stuff. It's about to be New Year's
Are we gonna discuss where we are too? Yes, the new place setting is a little different like Sam said late in bought a house
All right
We're at Sam's house. It's almost New Year's we got together and as we do almost every year and
Just having fun. We're gonna catch up on episodes and then goof around a little bit, but uh
Maybe do a little do something spicy with each other. Whoa. What does that mean?
Fashion show it's whatever you think like exotic. Yeah, I'm just gonna run through that
Don't give my co-workers ammunition at me hey hey hey, do you remember super chillix? Yeah? Oh my god
Tell the story
There's not much of a story to that. I mean, okay to put it plain and simple. It was seventh grade
We were about yeah seventh grade mission mission. It was a mission trip
And we were staying at a church who like let us just sleep there
I guess and after the leaders forced us all to take showers because you know we were seventh grade boys and stuff and we
I yeah, I at this time I like boxers
I had underwear on under them, but I had boxers in a t-shirt as my clothing
And I tied the towel on my shirt ran through the church screaming super chillix cuz chillix was my nickname
That's such like a
That's when I was still like at least kind of introverted
He had no shame, which is honestly so surprising and you're still not ashamed of it
Crazy part you just gotta carry. It's part of the chillix persona
It's canonical just chillix. It's where it all began
Lane have you ever heard heard of super chillix? I've heard of it. I didn't know that's where it came from. He's a rare
I've heard the I've heard the tales as a legend. I wasn't there for it's a piece of American mythology
The only two people who remember that and who like still talk about is me and him
Yeah, it was the only important to me and him yeah all right get back on track
so
Yeah, seriously, it's not strong. Oh, yeah, hey, it's okay. We're figuring it out. Oh, oh
Good job Sam. Good job Sam. Let's go all right, so we're talking about media today
that's anything from
TV shows you've watched the movies you've watched music you're listening to video games. You've played anything like that I
I'm gonna say art because of my tattoos
I want to show them off at some point and if I'd be cool to show them on the podcast this didn't go well for me
Last time what this didn't go well for me last. Oh, yeah
the wrong movie
Talking about the wrong cat
Never get posted was that
Yeah, okay, that one was posted cuz that's how I know about it
Yeah, okay episode saying an episode. Yeah, we don't talk about that one. No at least I don't I don't
I don't either, but I don't either because y'all talking about movies without me. It was brief well. That's why you're here
Thank you, so I guess we'll just start off
Since we got Sam here, and he's probably itching to talk about it. Let's talk about movies. Okay anything recent Sam
I mean go off go. Let's do it you know now you got me
Don't you want to watch me and my family went to watch a wonka the other day though
I can't believe they made a new one. Yeah, but okay. I knew Willy Wonka
Oh, really well like young wonka it's a timothy chalamet playing
Oh, dude, I can notice came out even and so I wasn't sure how the casting was gonna
Go with with Willy with timothy chalamet being wonka, but it actually turned out really well, and it's a it's a musical
It was actually used it was a musical, but it was actually super fun. Hey, okay I
I can think of musicals that you like yeah true high school musical one two and three
It's perfect one two and three true there you go
Did you not like the greatest showman and that wasn't really musical I guess
Yeah, it was you know it was
At the soundtrack dude music was good, but I didn't really care
No, but it was actually I really enjoyed Wonka and
Dude, you know who mr. Bean is right? Yeah, yeah, he's in the movie, and he plays the perfect role. He's like a a
like a priest who is
Being bribed with chocolate, and it is the funniest thing his facial expressions are like on like he's the perfect place person
To play a priest who's bribed by chocolate
It's like it worked out so sounds like he would play a good role exactly and then there was Keegan Michael Key
Who's just amazing?
Well, that's good here. I like I said I can't believe they made another one
I feel like they've kind of there's been made enough. Yeah of them, but yeah
I mean there was the one with Johnny Depp, and then there was
the original one with Gene
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Wilder yeah, Charlie, and I think I only ever saw the original yeah
Yeah, that's all I've seen bits and pieces of the Johnny Depp one, but I've never watched that yeah
I never watched that one
Did you guys hear that they made a I don't know if they're still making it or if it's out now
Kung Fu Panda 4 yeah, no so the trailer came out yeah, they're still making those my gosh. I'm excited
I
loved
The first three oh, I'm sorry you seem like a country panicking looking forward to the fourth one really one
I feel like it's just it's gonna fall over done that you know they didn't need to make another, but they did yeah
And Dreamworks has done really really well recently, but I don't know I feel like it might just fall victim to that
You know another Dreamworks trilogy. That's like honestly perfect. That's amazing. Tell me please how to change
I knew oh
I think they kind of put the nail in the coffin without series though
I don't think I can make another one well so though the worrisome part is that I'm pretty sure they're making the
Remaking it as a live-action oh
That's different. I think so here's the thing as a live-action it could be good
Yeah, sting and maybe a little bit new like not like maybe they can bring something new to it as a live-action
Yeah, like make Astrid black
Bro
Probably hey we'll pretend they can okay
Every movie that's been has been doing it recently no for it that is true that is true
Yeah, no, so it could be interesting. I'm hopeful, but
Honestly even if it's bad at least we have yeah the original trilogy live actions really can go either way
They could be amazing or they could just be
You know so they're making avatar last airbender live. Yeah, they are yes
Let's hope it turns out better than the last yes, so the last one was a movie terrible absolutely
And that one yet god-awful this one though the remaking it as a series live-action series
So it's back to like the original format is essentially I loved avatar the last airbender
You're a pretty big fan
I'm wearing socks
My gosh, I think I think you said you ever watched it nope no
Watched I know up to the secret tunnel episode. Oh, okay. I keep telling you we need to watch it
She'll watch all together Sam would love to watch it with us. I'll watch it again. Yeah
We'll put it on put it on YouTube. Yeah, it's me watching it for the first time a reaction. Yeah, yeah, I
Watched Quora too. Yes, yeah all the way through yeah, see okay. I don't want
When it comes to those two though avatar the last airbender I feel the story in that one
I love so much more but in Quora
The fight scenes. Oh, they're so much better. Oh my gosh. There's so many like they're all what is it?
There's the guy who can essentially fly
Do you know I can't remember his name. He's like a big buff dude
and he
Just for the people who were just listening to point it up and made a weird
Yeah, you started talking so much louder, and it just like
I know I heard it immediately spiked
My bad no, but it's like a big buff dude, and and he can essentially fly and I hear
It's something like that. I can't remember his name sure it's not John
It's not John, but no that fight scene lives right free in my head that is I think it might be is all here
I think something like that. Yeah
a hunting well avatar definitely on the watch list absolutely
Alex have you seen it? I haven't yet
Party yeah all of it's on all of it's on the NAS. Yeah, oh you put it on the NAS
No, I did not I did not I own right flow you on the disk
Yeah, and I just I mean he's did by the disk right I did by the disk. I think it is still technically
Pirating I guess
Let's not say it's pirating because you did pay for it. Yeah, all you did is made it. I just made yeah
We are not distributing it. Nope. I'm not
Technically speaking
Okay, yeah, you remember the copyright scenes that come up with like the FBI symbol
I don't know
$400,000 penalty
Yeah, I thought it was 250 but maybe I do for that no I pay attention to the movies not the disclaimers before
Okay, anyway
Anyway
somebody else
Good moving on any any show suggestions Alex. He watched anything man. This might have been on the episode that never actually made it to
Being uploaded. I know what you're about to say. You know what I'm about to say. Um
Cyberpunk 2077 was that oh
Yes
Was so good
I'm over like the initial excitement of finishing it. Yeah thinking about it makes me want to watch it again
Yeah, love that series
So I'm not gonna lie and the music is just on point dude
I'm not gonna lie when you asked Alex about shows my first thought was Bear Grylls
I'm like that I remember going over to your house and like we just sit down and watch that the entire wild with Bear Grylls
Yeah, that's like we don't watch there
That play after the end. So that was my first thought I'm like, oh he's totally gonna say
Bear Grylls
Really good shows. Yeah, so
Kind of building off the edge rainers thing I'm the I'm the resident anime guy
Oh, yeah, I'm the one who is time. I watched anime sounds like middle school. God knows how much anime I've seen
You were that kid and that like it was cool from my point of view to get you into it cuz that's still true
That's what I thought he was showing me stars. I love these stars too. That's a cool anime
I didn't think he was gonna say I'm also
I mean if we're going on an anime I like um assassination classroom super awesome, too
I never could have gotten there in it
Really?
You couldn't get through it. I thought it was super fun. Yeah, I heard the endings really good
So I haven't watched too many animes
But my part my favorite one that I have watched all the way through is jiu-jitsu kaisen. Oh, dude
I have watched the second I haven't either first season was so good
Yeah, when I did my watch through when I did my watch through the only thing that was out was
The show and the first season in the movie and I had I didn't watch the movie
But I watched all of the first season and oh my like I finished it in like a day like like I was
It's I was obsessed. Yeah
There's a whole thing going on with Mappa the studio that made that series and they're the ones that are making a chainsaw man as well
Okay, oh
After that super good. Oh, yeah, it's so good. I'm reading the manga
Oh, the manga is awesome. Anime is also good. But um
There's a whole thing with Mappa
But they do such a good job of like the fight scenes and like all the motion that they convey in scenes like that
It's so cool how they do all of that. I love it. But uh, yeah good watch for sure
Oh, absolutely, but that's another thing like like it was same for Alex. It's cool to see you guys get into it a little bit
Yeah, it is just slightly like I know you watched attack on Titan's. I've watched
Oh, I want to watch that I didn't finish it because I started watching it as at the same time
I was watching other shows and I just didn't have the time to watch all of them at once
So then I had to choose and so I kind of left that one behind. I haven't gone back yet
It's a tag on time looks so sick. I have watched on attack on Titan. I think I've watched
Till like episode 7 or 8. I think I haven't watched attack on Titan once. I don't know. I just never got into it
I think I got 16 episodes in 17
So apparently the ending is crazy good. It looks super nice. It's crazy like wild
Yeah, we should all we should all get together and watch that. That'd be a big boy. Yeah tonight
But maybe
Layton have you you're not really much like I don't think you have any experience with anime
Do you not other and it's American anime which is just you know, Avatar. It's totally different category really but yeah
No, I've watched a little bit of
Demon Slayer
I think I think I've watched I haven't I don't think I've finished the first season
I meant to and I just need to go back to it. I like what I've seen so far
I the movie top tier movie so good and then the second season is just as good. Okay all of it
I recently finished the second season and it was just so
She's slayer and attack on Titan and I think that's really about it that I've started and I haven't finished either one
You know what else I started what?
Your period
Okay, cool down Jake
No, it's okay. Mine's like my the show that I'm what I started watching is like on par with that
No, okay, rent a girlfriend
We're gonna stop you
I have no idea about this. Don't worry about his same laden not a series worth watching
Explanation
Firstly Jake absolutely hates it. I just can't stand it. Yeah, he can't send it but essentially
it's just this guy who got broken up with and
the best way he knows how to like
Get back is by renting a girlfriend because there's like an app that you can rent a go. What is this Japan? Yeah
Guy gets broken up with he's like I'm so lonely
Goes to this service, you know
Where you just like pay money for a date with a girl falls in love with the girl that he meets doing the date
And then he like chases after
Okay facts like an idiot. He said he's a total loser and it sucks to watch well
He literally paid her to like him. Yeah, no, it's kind of funny though
But then it's like it's so funny more girls that get introduced as other like rented girlfriends and then there's stuff
I haven't watched far enough because I literally couldn't care less. It is so bad
You know, it's so but it is bad. I can girls are cute
I will say that's not what I was gonna say the guys an idiot. No, absolutely stupid. He sucks
like
About this I agree with everything he said
It's I just think it's funny though. Like like he hates it because of that, but I think all of that just makes it so
Dumb that it's funny
It's cuz I can't relate
I'm gonna be honest with the person that you described for the main character. It sounds more like you
So you're gonna say
Anyway
Not worth the watch you to Sam was gonna watch it because that's up his alley and you do you Sam?
I'm not gonna stop you
Yeah getting off of anime Alex you mentioned
Cyberpunk, sorry. Yeah
So games that we've been playing recently work our way from late in the sand
late any new games recently
Yeah, actually that I need to keep playing because I was playing it with Gavin he kind of abandoned me on it, but
I'm pretty sure I don't I don't want to I don't want to mess up the name, but I think it's
Kingdom two crowns, I think is what it's called. I've heard of that and it's like a scroller game
But so you can obviously only move left and right but I'm about to ask what a scroller
Yeah, you can only you can only move left and right so it's 2d
Yeah, and it was really cool because you have this kingdom and you like build fences to keep out these monsters and stuff
And so you're expect constantly expanding but the cool part about it that I like most is that you can't get everything on the first island
So on the first island you can only get up to a certain point and then you have to go to the next island to unlock
Another and then you have to go to the next island and every time you go to the next island it basically
Restarts you so it's actually not as a
Prestige and yeah, it's like prestiging and it's not as like totally
Restarting from scratch is not actually as bad as you think because it probably only takes an hour of gameplay at most
I actually like get through the whole thing. That's pretty cool, and it was really cool
The only downside to it is I wish I could play it with more people because I think it'd be really cool
It's a multiplayer. It is but it's only two people max
Oh max speak loudie you were like to oh my bad
Alex anything new you you and I started playing two new games. Yeah
Man I played lethal company. That's a hot one with you
It's a hot one right now. I've started playing that with you. Oh, yeah, I've only played like once though
I want to play more because I'm a dude mods. Yeah, so much better. Oh my gosh. We gotta
I should probably try it with mods cuz I'm not I have an online it mods are hilarious
You know Jake was telling me about one mod that like as as you're like talking in game
It'll like copy like the the monster like oh
Back to you. It's the skinwalker mod
I was playing with a friend and I was I had just I died directly in front of him
He saw me die and then he was standing in a corner waiting for another monster to pass and he heard me go
Oh, what? Yeah, you were a teen too thing and he heard me go. Yeah, it's all good guys. It's safe
Oh my god, and then running footsteps outside the room
And then another time it comes running through the room and starts going ha ha ha ha and playing a laugh track of me
I can like boom put it up. I want to see this I was I
Didn't hear it until I watched the clip back and I was like no
I'm taking the mod off bro. I would have put my man. Trust me. I would have too
So it literally copies your voice it takes it takes audio from the in-game audio like the in-game voice chat
And then uses it that's back
Yeah, there have been several times where they've been running through dark hallways and they'll hear someone else's voice
Going like guys over here or something or whatever. They've said before that's awful. I couldn't do that
There there's like mimic doors like the fire exit doors. I'm like you guess wrong
It's a mouth that just like eats you
And we've played door roulette in one of the runs that we did and I lost every time Wow
My friend that gets the right door every single time you're terrible. Who was it? Was it was it grant? It was Jason
Oh, you got I you made I think you know, you know, Jason. I know you know, Jason. I definitely know I don't think you two know
No, no, I don't think so. Yeah, but he was streaming on Twitch
Yeah, we also played recently ready or not. Yeah
Ready or not. I love that game. I don't know what that one is. You don't know what tactical military shooter
Yeah, it's really cool. Save hostages active shoes all that stuff
friggin dark
Be the hostage no, you maybe
My honestly maybe with mods he could be you probably might ready or not with mods would be there dude
There are mods. Oh, I've seen people that have modded the wazoo out of that game
It's like you running around was like an anime girl. My computer could not handle that hilarious
But yeah, there was also about
Shut up. No, that's a serious question. You think my can you have a 3090 64 gigs of RAM and like crazy?
Oh, shut up late. Just picks out. I was gonna say you just
Spin not specs. Yeah, I probably don't even know what that means. He's got like a super high-end computer. It's really
Pretty up there rich boy. Yeah, I assume the last daddy battle bit. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah
So it's like a roblox game except that's not on roblox. So it's a bit more enhanced. It's like a low poly battlefield
Yeah, I figured Alex would like it after playing fan
Dude, I love it. It has a very similar feel more more in-depth though. Yeah, it's super chaotic
Yes, oh my gosh, dude. It's really tiring like
Tires your brain just cuz there's so much happening. It's amazing
What you brain you have you have a I do have a brain Sam. It's amazing. Wow, it's shocking
You're saying that to the only person who can fly a plane here
Actually, that's that's a statement
He's the only one who can I mean if you took the time you could learn
so
Same we kind of kind of out of the loop of these newer games cuz like that's all stuff that we've been
Doing yeah, I gotta I got a new one. Yeah, please do enlighten us. So so I started playing
Just the just a couple days ago. I got Ghostrunner 2. Yeah
Yeah, so so I played the first one like two years ago was it two
Is when it came out and it's just like you're just like a robotic ninja doing parkour
It's I heard about this but people slice people up go fast kill people
It's so fun and there's a pretty a really cool story to it
And so the second ones out there's some new features
Like I can dash through walls. Yeah kind of only certain walls, but that's there's some of her and we're back
Mixer died audio difficulties. We bought new batteries had to run to Walmart. Yeah, so now we're back Walmart run on New Year's Eve
Yes, sir. Thank you Walmart for being open for real. Shout out to Walmart number one fan
Can we get a sponsor, please? Yeah, that would be sick. I would they are free batteries someday maybe
Oh, oh Sam's letting the dog out
But yeah, anyways, so mixer died we're back now everything's good and resume the conversation like nothing happened
Sam's supposed to take it Sam. I got back to start talking about starting a
World with your girlfriend. Yeah, no, so I was I was talking to

Reminded me I can show you it. I don't know if you've seen it
I may have the first one that was the game that was on his PC when you got oh cool
Yeah, I was thinking though. It kind of reminds me of super hot something. I mentioned the first thing
It's not a new game at all. I've played it multiple times, but I love super hot my gosh
Fantastic series very very fun game
So
While we're while we're on the topic of oh
Wait your game Jake what you didn't say what game yeah, I mean, I've been playing what they've been playing. Yeah
That's pretty much it. I
Ready or not play just about anything
I can talk about a battle, but you played rounds with me and Gavin Oh rounds rounds super fun with mods
I will we didn't play with mods. We did we did what we played with mods
That's the way that's the way we did the multiplayer and more cards and stuff
There's actually something that you and I at least Jake you played we should play tonight actually no
Not a card game. Yeah card game. Yeah, yeah, we've got a here to slay which is a blast
I can't remember what the company's name is it's like mad

You're making work for yourself
But um and it better be on time I hope so
Oh, yeah, like you can be so we've been missing are gonna be be on time. Oh, yeah, those are really be
Edited to continuing physical games
Anyways physical media physical games
Here to slay was a lot of fun. I did we have we have a poker set so if we all want to learn poker
So I know how to play poker. I got a bunch of games
And then you got wingspan and like fire fire tower
I guess I have all of these several other wingspan. I have to be god try that cuz my cuz my sister got into it
I don't even know how to play like the base. I don't we'll play with just
Just the base. I have no idea what it is or anything. It's all right. I'll explain it. Okay, Sam knows we have a guy
All right, that's awesome. That is actually so helpful you're welcome cuz Alex
I just know my parents gave up on it. I started teaching myself
But Alex you send a picture in the discord and it looked like so much the cards are beautiful
Oh my god, so it is it's a lot. There's actually a lot that go cuz you got like
There's so many different ways to get points and it's just it's complicated. But once you like know it it's easy
Yeah, it's just there's so many moving pieces to the game. I heard it's like a tan. Maybe the water
The food yeah, whatever's crank I think that's all over
I thought something was like dripping. Yeah, if you hear something that's like yeah
It's some some weird background noises. It's my dog Oliver. He is
Munching on some food. Let's go
Good boy, not a good boy. Um, oh I didn't leave it boy. No
That's that sparks controversy
He's still I was just telling them this off the podcast, but he's still
peas in the house even we've had him for
Five four or five years something like that. I think it was like 2019
I'm pretty sure it's just the baby is yeah
But I he'll like pee on the ground specifically to like spite us or just cuz he's mad and it is so annoying
Oh my god. I
Mean there's more that he my mom feels your pain. Yeah, it's
I'm lucky that I'm the one who doesn't have to live with him since I'm only here some of the time
Well, you know, what's a good way to distract yourself from stuff like that
This is the transition do tell oh just you know watching TV and movies
Already talked a little bit about it
But I do want to double back to the TV show stuff cuz I wouldn't ask you guys you get to probably haven't seen it
I I doubt me doubt you have is this the one that you were asking me about think so. It's on who it's called
Yeah, haven't seen it. I have seen a lot of cool stuff about it and I was animated is it no, it's live
Okay, it's about this
High-grade chef that takes over his brother's
Just like joint, you know like a small restaurant that he owns and
It's just I get I what I know of is it's this story of him trying to like
You know earn the respect of the people that are already there who knew his brother
But do you know don't respect him and all this other because they're all had this they all had this close-knit
Community and all that looks like a really cool show. So I was gonna see if any of you had heard about it
actually a
movie
This you just made me think of this because you're talking about chefs and whatnot
There's a movie came out. I think it was last year called the menu
Didn't hear that either. I actually really enjoyed that it was like
It was weird. It was like mind-warpy. I guess is the best way to explain it, but it was super fun
There was a lot of a lot of dying people
Yeah, yeah, but it's like it's like yeah, no, it's like this this
made this big chef guy invites all these fancy people and then he has this like
They're there on an island and it's like this specific
Like it's however many course meal that he has all planned out and then everything goes wrong. Well, not for the chef for the guests
Because he'll start killing people
It's it is all part of the it's all part of the show. Yeah, it's it is weird, dude
Because it's like supposed to be his like last big show
Yeah, it's it's crazy
Animated movie. Did you ever see the new 2022 Puss in Boots? I did dude. Oh my yeah
You know, I have no you weren't yeah, I don't know if you were here when I showed him but
I showed him but I have the disc
No that movie dude, I love that movie there's so many reasons I love it but like animation was animation
Oh, yeah
One thing that always that always stands as like the first thing I think about when when someone mentions that movie is the wolf
Yeah, it's like he's like the embodiment of death
Shock and it's terrifying. It's the whistle that they got on. Yeah, they don't overdo it either. Yeah. Yeah
I still need to borrow a bunch of DVDs
for the
We'll figure something out yeah, so
I did want to just briefly talk about it because it's exciting new thing for me and media
Also, like Alex said, you know still like physical stuff
So I do a lot of art and stuff like that to show it. Yeah, I wanted to show you tattoos
I got recently which I'm wearing the sleeves because I got the sleeves because I can't show my tattoos at work and also because
these sleeves are awesome and
All the wind that hits my arms is cool. Nice. It just oh
Do you want to put a picture up? Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna take them off
But it was kind of probably it's not really kind of a point to that one
I can just like do the boom boom, you know, yeah, and so
They're the pictures up
That's those are the tattoos I got and
One's a one's like a mountain landscape, you know, like Sun Mountains. I think it's river and then land
I didn't know what it was to be honest
Yeah, but uh, and then the other one is an SD card slot because of you know photography and all that gotcha
So that's those are the tattoos I got and holy cow did they hurt?
It's probably mainly because of the area you got them in yeah
well
Since I'm spa like underarm kind of I don't want to say it was mainly the spot I got in it in because I'm pretty
sure that would have hurt like a
Son of again
Because Jenna has five of them and she
and she is like she I went with her date when she got three of them and
She was like grandma like she got one in right here and she said that was the most painful one
She got a while compared to the one right here along her arm. Wow, so I'm pretty sure
Yes, it was partly because I got it close to my elbow. But at the same time, I think it would have hurt just as bad
anywhere else
but
Do not let that deter anyone who may be listening because I know how you
But pain is not
I thought you were about to say you've consented
What you can he's already getting a tattoo he's content if you can grit your teeth and bear it
You'll get through it and then it's done. That's like if I don't get any more tattoos
I've got two that I like so I'm happy with it. Yeah, I'll probably go get more but
For now, I'm happy with it
But yeah, it was it was just something cool that I thought I'd show off cuz you know big deal getting tattoos and everything's ink in
my body and all that so yeah, I was when you sent me the
Photo or when you sent all of us the photos that day
Wait, what?
I mean, I will talk about that
But no, I was with my co-worker at a job and I was like no way my friend just got tattoos
And I'm pretty sure they're fake, but I and he's like, are you sure and I
Showed him the tattoos you got and he was like, I
Don't know if I would have got this
And I was like, that's fair. I mean it is it's you know, it's not
It's not I will say it's always it's different
I was surprised whenever I saw you got a micro SD card saw and then the mountains like
Because I knew you were like one of the photography thing, but you talked about something with like friends and family first
You pull up you text me. It's like hey, I got a micro SD card slot. I thought that was really funny
So I changed my mind about that actually cuz I noticed for context
I was gonna get a film role and it was gonna have five
slots like across my bicep and it was gonna have a symbol in each photo negative of
Representing a family member and then the last one was gonna be for like a significant other or a pet or whatever
I changed my mind on that because I was like
I really don't want to start with a big tattoo because that's probably gonna hurt like a
I'm an MF. I
Just and on top of that's gonna be on my bicep
It's probably just gonna hurt and I'm I may not want to do it more than that
I want to do it more than like halfway, you know, like I don't want to have to quit halfway. Yeah, so I
Decided to get another small one and I was originally gonna get a hand one
But then I was like no that hurt a lot if I yeah, I
Feel like that's one of those painful ones getting these here. I'm kind of glad I didn't get one on my bed
But at the same time I do part of it
Yeah
That's the issue is that if I go to get a new job somewhere or if I just move up and discount entire corporate or something
Like that that's gonna look really unprofessional having a tattoo on my hand of any kind doesn't matter what it represents
So I kind of decided to hold off on until that until I get to a place in life where you know
I've got a better job. Oh my gosh
Got a better job. I've already made good first impressions and then I can go get whatever tattoo I want to get
You know, maybe you'll be the boss. You can be the one who decides start my own company. That's where it's at
yeah, but uh
So tattoos were fun, but I just thought I'd share
Yeah, that's about it. Very nice
Speaking go ahead Sam. Sorry. No, you were charging up for something. No. No, I was just gonna bring it back to the dog
but the way they so
We we kind of interrupted Lane by accident what briefly now earlier we interrupted you briefly
Because the dog rolled on his back so that I would pet him on his belly. He was just rolling around
We were it's not that crazy. It was just me and Alex were laughing about it
and then I saw Jake like
Get stunned for saying I don't know if he saw this or if he was talking about his thing with Layton
But it was just funny. I gotcha. Well, I didn't notice what I didn't notice. Okay. Well
Real quick actually I want it Alex
Oh, yeah, I don't have my normal for the audio online listeners I
Can't see this. I'm wearing some giant white gamer headphones

It's nice to listen to music on this. Yeah, I like them actually
Might as well say your next thing. Yeah, I have some I have Sam's
Little bit of a little bit of an out-of-the-way build-up, but I want to get it done so
Oliver so
music recently we all I know for sure compared to
TV and movies and stuff like that we all listen to music tons of music tons of music Sam's big into music
I know that Alex you're big into music Layton. You're big into music. I'm big in music
That's something we can actually like talk a bit more about kind of anytime anytime anybody asks me like what do you listen to?
I don't know how to respond. What did you listen to everything?
I don't know how to respond cuz I'm like I literally listen to you all kinds of different genres at all
It literally depends on the song and sometimes the band but I'm not even committed to certain bands or certain artists
It's just I listen to what I think sounds good. I have that's a huge mix pot. Sorry. I was turning it up
I have several like various things genres just in my queue right now. I've got like some EDM stuff
I got some 80s rock I'll actually just turned on some turn up the radio by autograph fantastic song
Man, dude, I got all sorts of crazy stuff on here. I got some best deal
I have that song from yellow card. We were listening to I have everything
Yeah
Copyright
I'm sure if we're saying it's fine. Yeah, but I was gonna ask
Just recently let's say in like the past month like throughout December
What have you guys been listening to recently? Pull up our recaps. You kind of like I mean I guess I can answer that straight off the bat
Okay, so I've been listening to Matchbox 20 one of my absolute favorite bands. So yeah, I listen to a lot of them
I've been sorry. I didn't mean to rip you definitely like a band guy. Oh, absolutely. You've got like several songs
It's and it's a lot of bands. Yeah. Yeah
But Green Day as well. There we go
I listen I've been listening to a lot of Green Day recently and train because drops of Jupiter's one of my beautiful songs
It is I would say it's probably my favorite song. Really? Yeah, genuinely
I mean, that's hard to say because there's so many good songs, but I say that's kind of a big title
It is but drops it I listened I like drops of Jupiter is always the consistent one that I go back to very nice
Coldplay
Breaking Benjamin though breaking Benjamin. I've been listening to Foo Fighters
Oh
Five Finger Death Punch as well. Yeah
So it kind of goes all over the place, but I mean and then we could I could throw you a little
Curveball with the Beach Boys. I've been I listen. Okay, you know
Sprinkle some Disney in there
We all know you listen to some
Disney. No, I don't even listen to it like
Like in my own time, I've just seen so many Disney movies. I just know the songs
Yeah, that's that's how bad it I've seen them so many times. I just know the songs fair enough
I've had some team Impala
Recently, I am not too big on team Impala personally, but there are a few songs that I do like but
Just not to my taste but yeah, do you recognize the name anything else?
I could say tons of things else and there's so much music just this read like past few weeks of looking
What's what's some recent while he takes that I guess
Look through your stuff Alex
I'm not gonna say the artist. There's too much. It's gonna be too many people. I guess I'm going base
Like it's only songs and they're all by different people. Let's not go like listing off songs, but just just a couple just in order
Just a few
Straight through the list. Uh, the yard is like whole all
159 songs I have here. No yard sales one of them
King for a day. Let's see
Pierce the Vail. So no, no, no, it's not that one in Matthew grant. Yeah
Uh
Breathing underwater by hot milk. Oh, yeah
And I'll just leave it at that. I guess those are like do you have a
Do you have a star set?
I have a couple because I think I might
I don't know if I can't remember if it's my demons or if I just demons but by star set. Yeah
I've someone another one from them. I know I die for you. I believe is what it's called. Oh, yeah
I've been I listen to that one. I've been listening to a long time
I've been listening to a lot of AJR too, which I but I always you love AJR. I do I do
Yeah, Jake, there's like four songs. I like hey, I have a new album though
So I will say that there's actually a couple I like I I do
I like their newest album better than the one that came before that. That's fair
Alex you're looking through your Spotify JVK or Jake. I guess Jake. Yeah, I don't know if you pronounce the
I assume yeah, I think like the his description in Spotify. I was it say Jake Jake. Okay
Yeah, there you go. I mean the V could just be an upside down. Hey, that's what I mean. Yeah, that's what I assumed
It was that's yeah, I first heard his music. It was when I was still with
I stole my previous relationship and I had asked I was like, is it juke or is it Jake?
And she was like, I'm pretty sure it's juke at least to my knowledge
I think that's what she said and so that's what I've pronounced it as until I saw his like little bio
Okay. Well, it's Jake
Jake
fellow Jake's great songs there though pride
Sidewest we hate Jake side west another I recognize no, it's an atronic artist. I think it's Siberian
I don't listen to a lot of what?
There's a few Alan Walker songs I like I
Do like some Alan Walker I can listen to anybody like genuinely
Yeah, I'm kind of on the same boat as you like I'll listen to all three of you really
Anything goes but cannot do rap. Yeah, and I really like I really like depends on a lot of rap
It depends on the rap for me. I can do a lot of latency very picky about my rap
I say like I won't lie. I listen to Eminem. Yeah, I can
I like Eminem's rap. But like yeah, I mean I've listened to a couple of songs
But like I don't really Eminem is really the only one I listen to a lot of NF and a lot
Yeah, I'm probably gonna give me crap for that. But whatever that's okay. I got some heavy metal
Heavy stuff I can I'm rock metal whatever any of that stuff put me on it. Okay
I can do a little bit of metal but like man, I don't know too much screaming. Yeah, I can go to light metal
Yeah, and that's that's
That yeah, I say that's that's a little like a little bit like some of like breaking Benjamin
They got some like they've got you but they most of most of their songs don't like overdo it. They're not too heavy
Yeah, they're not too heavy on it. And so like that's why I like them because it's like, okay
You got a little bit of in there, but it's not too much
That's like the Pierce the Veil songs that I was playing in the car earlier
Yeah, that kind of stuff is what I like it's it it is a little heavier on it, right?
like compared to breaking Benjamin at least and
I
Can I can do stuff like that? Like I'm a little more inclined to stuff like that as well, but I just I like a good like
The feels out yeah
Just like that like you're the kind of person who scream in the car. Yeah, I do
Yeah, I did free literally earlier tear my vocals to shred
Hit notes that I should not be hitting
You hit a great one earlier. Yeah, I didn't I don't know how I did
It was on try everything by Shakira. Yeah, yeah, I hope you move. Yeah, try everything great movie great out my butt
Yeah, it was out of nowhere like I was singing the whole song we like stopped
Yeah out of nowhere Jake just starts screaming
But it was it was high-pitched and it was honestly kind of good though. It was like, oh, yeah, yeah
What can I say? Struck your stuff the superstar?
I don't know never hear me sing
That'll never happen again. I still remember we were actually we were driving on the same road when you when you belted out
Try everything just earlier, but a couple years ago. We you we were
We're singing along to baby
I'm like I never thought I would ever see you belt it out to baby by Justin Bieber
You were vibing I was in a mood that night
Bad mood, but I was just in a mood of like, yeah, let's go. Yeah, let's sing
I don't think you did let it you may have done joined us and let it go though
Maybe because classic among our group. So here's the thing. Yeah me and Alex spent like eight hours one day after let it go came out
Just learning the lyrics. It was crazy. We were I'm not even so much in like
Holy moly, we were we were up in his tree house at his house. Just sitting there replaying
Let it go for hours and hours and hours
And when we told Jake he was just tired of it and we try and play and he's just like not have there was one time
I've never seen it with us dropping you off in my dad's Jeep
My mom was playing it and we were singing it the entire way through
I'm just playing it and we were singing it the entire way to your house screaming. I'm almost so sick of it
Yeah, holy moly. We were great kids
You can tell that the parents really loved us
I
Was gonna say something sorry. I forgot it totally blanked. I interrupted you
Thank you, you're welcome. It's okay. We don't want to hear from
I don't don't have my phone to check my Spotify
but I've kind of been listening to a bit of a as
dumb as it sounds a bit of the Instagram meet popular music, you know, I get a bunch of music from there like
There's ceilings and
Oh
Lizzie McAlpine. Yeah that one and then strangers and
Stick season. Oh no, I'm good songs
Just tapping the iceberg
Yeah, yeah, but stick season was weird so no no, I got is kind of he's very like
Rushes certain words and then there's long pauses and it caught me off guard at first
But now I'm kind of getting into it dude course. So that's probably I found out about Noah Khan because of Morgan
It's one of her absolute. I gotcha. Um, so I've been listening to more and more of him and honestly one of my favorites
I don't know if you've listened to it, but dial drunk
I've only heard stick season dial drunk is when you gotta listen to that one is that's one of my favorites
I will check that one out for sure. But yeah, um, that's the stuff
I've been listening to I did listen to a little bit of paramour recently
Ain't it fun and yeah into you still oh good ones good songs good one, but uh, otherwise, I'm just been all over the place
Is that one the one that's like the the still into you?
I'm still into you. Yeah
Also have like misery business, okay in the business of misery, let's take it from that
I don't know if I've heard that one. Okay, and then they have
This is why?
I can't remember. Yeah, I know which one you're talking. Yeah. Thanks Jake. Yeah, I'll back you up
Thank you. Yeah, so for the first time ever some of the stuff I've been listening to I'm a definitely more unlike the
Punk rock. Yeah pop kind of I love punk punk music cuz you're it's got that. Yes. It's got it's got that like
FU middle finger to the city high schooler. Yeah
It's just got that well, it's got that edge to it. I don't know. I just like it makes me
It's some good music that edges you our parents listen to this. Yeah
Can you cut this part?
It's already it's it was too well integrated in the conversation. I'm sorry. I'm just too good
I'm sorry. I'm pleading the fifth alone
I tend to be a bit more innocent than my friends. Okay, this is true
Out of my shoe shoo pee well, it's in it. Okay. Oh, yeah listeners have no idea
We're drinking out of shoes. We put our cups in our shoes. Yeah
I'm not going I I we've all got on a desk cups and the same table. I'm lame
So does late he's still spilled
I
Did excuse me? Yeah, that's why we have shoes
Cuz yeah long so um, I don't know. I feel like we've kind of exhausted our
Our options here. It's been about 35 minutes the second part. So we've got I gotta get a man
So I think it's a good place to wrap things up where for this sixth episode of the figuring out podcast
Kind of take away for this, you know
It's always nice to get away from all the serious stuff all the downing downers and life all the
All that bad stuff and kind of you know distract yourself with a little bit of fun some TV some movies some games
But you know always the music because you can't drive in silence. What are your psychopath?
I like the sound of my engine. I had Lexus. I don't know my
Sometimes I am just not in the mood to listen music
One percent in that boat I had covered last week I drove home in silence a lot of
I just forget to put music sometimes. I'll just completely forget this is driving total silence
This is genuinely insane to me because I will not drive with I've driven
I have to I need it. I've driven to Leighton's house and complete silence a full hour dude. What all right?
That's nothing dude. I've been a whole entire workday
Eight hours Jake. Are you mentally? Okay? No, he's not
What do you think I'm going to therapy?
My parents actually asked if you were actually going to therapy. Okay, my mom asked why you were she didn't question
I just get too much she's just you know Jake. Yeah, there's got to be good. I need your old parents are just like
Guys some hell he's going to therapy because he got his little heart broken. That's right. I did I'm learning
You know being mechanism. I do you should keep this work. I did how are we gonna kiss?
I'm gonna like open up his skin and open her Sam what Sam and I we're gonna kiss his heart
We're gonna kiss it like little boo-boo. What all better now open heart surgery. Oh, thanks
My open heart Sam and I didn't go to I didn't go to
Therapy when I happened well. Yeah, you guys are in a relationship
I'm kidding like you're not a baby for being I didn't going to therapy. Yeah, that's I didn't go
I'm also just a little bit different so I'm built different. Okay. He's
Anyways so
Side-talked again. Yeah all that is to say that it's nice to you know distract yourself with a bit of fun every now
And then you know sit in front of a screen and numb your brain, so we love that yes
We do nothing better at all whatsoever. Nope nothing not at all and uh
Screens are the best but yeah, don't claim you guys
Goodbye
I'm gonna say don't stay in school, but okay, you know what that's bad. We're in that everybody. Thanks for listening
Have a great night. Happy New Year
Whatever it is. I don't have a 2024 now. Yeah, I
Bye. Bye. I'm late yeah
