Hello everyone, welcome on this fine beautiful Tuesday morning or whatever you're listening to this.
Might be listening on Wednesday, Thursday? Heck, I don't know. Do you know Evan?
I don't know. You know I was courting you so I'm not gonna lie.
I don't know. We don't have a dedicated intro. We just be hitting it with whatever.
We used to have a dedicated intro, but then literally every time we do a podcast,
now it's like, oh no, you do it. Oh no, you do it. No, no, I insist, you do it.
We don't know how we started this. We're just gonna start playing rock, paper, scissors
and who does the intro now. Oh and also we have a new logo we're gonna post for the podcast,
so stay tuned for that. It'll be on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, anything else?
I think Pandora Podcasts, basically wherever you listen to our podcast.
Pandora Podcasts, I didn't even know we were doing Pandora. I mean I don't know who actually listens to Pandora Podcasts,
if you do. Shout out to the Pandora viewers.
Shout out to the viewer in Belgium too. You're like oh.
Shout out to the who? The viewer in Belgium. Oh, the viewer in Belgium.
The viewer in fucking Belgium. That is the most important viewer.
Yes, yes, dedicated. You know we talk about American sports and stuff, but then we got the viewer in Belgium
that's just probably like what the fuck are they talking about. He might like American sports.
He might be from America. Maybe. I'm sorry if I sound a little nasally, I'm getting a little sickness right here.
Don't get me sick, my friend. Sorry about that. You know, Evan's gonna come back home and he's gonna be vomiting and everything.
Please, I hope not. Alright, so let's get into it.
The first topic we have to talk about is March Madness.
Because that's something that happens, which is a very big deal every single year. Both men's and women's March Madness.
Of course, our hometown team, LSU, just got eliminated yesterday.
In the women's bracket, yeah. In the women's bracket, yeah, by Iowa with Caitlin Clark.
Best college basketball player, by the way, Caitlin Clark. I think she's overrated.
Well, I don't know. She is the most poised son she has. It took her five years to complete something best OPEC did in four.
Okay, currently, is she the best college basketball player?
I mean, if you look at the men's standpoint, obviously, yeah. Who on the men's is cooking right now like that?
Alright then, well she's the best basketball player, right?
Okay, so if you get a bunch of sucky ass people, okay, of course one of them is supposedly...
Okay, if you put us on a football team...
Man, why can't you just give her her credit?
I will not give her credit. I'll give her credit because she's done.
She's done, I'll give her her credit. But at the same time though, I don't know.
Maybe I'm just salty because I love you often.
You're just salty. You're just salty.
I mean, I'll figure out my personal opinions later about that. We'll come up with something about that.
I can look past that and see that LSU this year did not have the same team we had last year.
We had a worse team this year than last year. That's why we're not going to win the championship.
I will, it was the better team in my opinion. That's why they won.
Kaylee Clark is an amazing player. Icon, really, for the women's college of basketball.
Probably the best college, definitely the best women's college of basketball, in my opinion.
I'd say top five all-time college player, both men's and women's. Evan might disagree, but that's just my point.
I definitely disagree. I think personally, if you watched our very last episode of Sports Being Rigged, possibly,
this literally sets up the perfect storyline for Kaylee Clark.
Just think about it. It's like LeBron versus the Golden State Warriors again.
Except LeBron may come out on top, whereas he got crushed by the Warriors.
Where Kaylee Clark, they might not know how to guard Kaylee Clark.
Or just throw in a little curve ball, they might be like, hey, we might let South Carolina win this all.
Because South Carolina is a really good team.
South Carolina is a very good team.
Very good team.
Alright, so Evan has a bracket pulled up. What do you got pulled up, Evan?
I got the men's bracket. I think the women's bracket.
Okay, okay.
So who do we think is going to win the championship? Out of the current teams that are left, who do we think is going to win?
First of all, let me say, I did not expect Alabama to get this far into the final four.
You know, here's what I hate about March Fandas League.
They will say anything that will come to their mind.
Because whenever I was making my bracket, like my very first bracket, they were like, oh, McNeese is going to beat Gonzaga.
Because you know, they have Will Wade now, former LSU coach.
And they actually did really good this season.
So they were like, oh, they're going to beat Gonzaga. Nope, Gonzaga just steamrolled them.
Then what did Gonzaga do? Steamrolled Candice.
Then they got steamrolled by Purdue. But I expect that from Purdue.
But I didn't think Alabama was going to be in there.
They should have blown it to Clemson though.
Yeah.
That's who I think should have.
No, they should have blown it to North Carolina. That's who I think they should have blown it to.
I don't know if North Carolina was going to win, but they have Lucener.
North Carolina lost to Baymoor, which is a crazy game.
I think that North Carolina was going to win that.
But watching that game at Walkowin's free sponsorship right there.
Please sponsor us at Paul Walkowin's. We're begging you.
What?
Please sponsor us at Walkowin's.
I go there every single day. I promise you. I love going to your restaurant.
Walkowin's will be more than your sponsorship. Please send us money.
Just give me a membership card or something. I don't care.
It's something. But I love you, Walkowin's.
Anyway, so looking at this, I think that Alabama,
if they somehow upset me, break this bracket.
If Baymoor beats UConn, that's crazy.
That's what I'm saying. If Baymoor beats UConn, then that's upsetting.
Because UConn has been blowing teams out by 20 and 30.
Yeah, that'd be insane. I have UConn winning it all.
I had UNC winning it all, but now I have UConn.
I think UConn's clearly the best team in the bracket.
I don't know how they lose to Baymoor, but Baymoor just keeps winning games.
I don't even know.
I can't wait to see North Carolina State Purdue.
That's what I can't wait to see.
NC State Purdue. That's going to be a good game.
Zagidi is the man. He likes Zagidi.
You're right.
I've been listening to a couple NBA scouting reports there.
He's going to be no better than Bobon Marjanovic.
They say he's not going to be good, but at the same time, though,
at college level, we all know this.
Of course, he's going to go in there and dominate,
but do I think he'd be able to beat the team like UConn?
I had UConn-Purdue meeting in the championship, and UConn won it.
What about you?
See, in the multiple different brackets I made,
I thought Purdue was going to blow it at some point.
Well, I thought so, too. I thought they were going to lose to Houston.
I thought they were going to lose to Tennessee, actually.
Tennessee? Yeah.
I thought they were genuinely going to lose to Tennessee.
Then I never had Alabama.
I had UConn, I think.
Tennessee has a really good Don Connect.
He's really good on Tennessee.
On one of my brackets, I had UConn winning it all,
but it wasn't either NC State or Purdue.
It was still like Houston?
Yeah, Houston, UConn.
Yeah, Houston.
I thought Houston was going to make it farther.
Yeah, but they ran into a hot Duke team,
but Duke then got shut down.
You know, Jared, we can't do this to five Hances.
Two days in the Colony, three days in the behind.
This guy, let's say, hit Colony.
He said he wants to be my...
Hold on, let's talk about Oakland.
That Oakland team had a big upset.
They got one game, and it was to Kentucky.
And every...
Bro, but that was crazy,
because who would have picked Oakland over Kentucky?
People are going to want Oakland is.
Where's Oakland?
Do you know where Oakland is?
You know, like California.
Oakland is in California,
but Oakland University is actually in Michigan.
Everybody thought they were a team from California,
but they're a team from Michigan.
You know, right?
They're a team from...
Nobody knew where they were from,
but they beat Kentucky, a blue blood program, Kentucky.
That's crazy.
But you know, though,
I kind of expected that from Kentucky,
because hear me out, though.
This coach is...
Kentucky is the same team that lost to St. Peter's
a couple years ago in the first round.
I thought St. Peter's was special, though.
They had their magic in the center row and run,
but Oakland's not special either.
They had one game.
Yeah, Oakland's not special.
I thought St. Peter's was special, though.
St. Peter's had a run.
Oakland just beat Kentucky out of nowhere.
Yeah, Oakland just beat Kentucky,
then they lost it in the end.
And they had that one player who had like 10 threes or something.
That's crazy.
Here's cooking that NCC game, too.
I feel like he could be a good little NBA player.
Steph Curry 2.0.
I'm going to say Steph Curry.
What?
Like, I thought of him like a Kyle Fulgert type player.
Does Nebraska have a really good shooter on their team?
I'm going to think of something else.
I don't know.
But I feel like that dude could be a little solid, too.
He could be like a little Kyle Fulgert.
Hey, the Drake curse strikes again, right?
You're right.
Drake curse.
Yeah, that photo was funny.
We're in Kentucky and the Drake curse.
Did you see what they did after?
They literally put Oakland gear on Drake.
Did you see the locker room?
I didn't see that.
Whenever Drake was in the Kentucky locker room, they had him in like a full uniform and stuff.
But they changed it to Oakland gear.
They had the Oakland banner and then they had Drake in the Oakland uniform.
That was actually pretty funny.
I didn't see that.
So what are your overall thoughts about this men's bracket this year?
The men's bracket?
I'm going to describe it.
What I'm about to do right now.
Hmm.
Oh, he stays born in this.
Well, it's also early in the morning that we're filming this.
So like, give me a minute.
But I feel like it could have been better.
It genuinely could have been better.
Well, early in the morning at some 1130s.
Okay.
And I like my sleep, Landon.
What's wrong with that?
Some people just like to sleep in.
What's wrong with that?
Go on and maybe grind 24-7 to be 65.
I work out every day of the week except for Friday, Saturday, and a little bit of Sunday.
That's not the only grind you got to be in.
God keeps your mind right.
God keeps your spiritual body right.
God gets everything on that grind.
You do.
You're absolutely right.
Right?
So.
But.
We got to talk about that later on.
Mental health is important, ladies and gentlemen.
We both actually talk about that later.
So.
Pull up the women's bracket.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
So.
The women's are in the, what, Final Four?
Or the Elite right now?
They're in the Final Four.
Final Four, yeah.
Because now you have, because you know, it is Yukon versus Iowa.
And you got South Carolina versus NC State.
It's going to be Iowa, South Carolina.
South Carolina, Iowa in the Final Four.
And South Carolina is to get that dough.
Do you think Paige Becker is going to go out with that?
I think South Carolina is just too good, man.
They haven't lost all season.
Yeah, they have.
They're perfect.
They haven't lost all season.
They lost to Kansas.
No, they didn't.
Yeah, they did.
They lost to Kansas State right here.
You want to know why?
Oh, that thing, walk on.
They beat them by like three.
By like two, three.
Hold up, look that up.
South Carolina is perfect.
No.
They don't have any.
Oh, no, no, no.
I thought I was talking about, oh, no.
I was talking about Iowa.
They lost to Kansas State.
Iowa lost.
Yeah, yeah.
Iowa has lost this.
South Carolina has lost this.
South Carolina would beat everyone over that.
But you just.
But I thought you were talking about Iowa though.
It's early in the morning.
There is two or other for you.
Yeah, 1130 is too early for me.
Right, right.
So I literally thought you were talking about Iowa, and I'm just like, wait a minute, Iowa's
not perfect.
What are you talking about?
They lost to Kansas State.
I was watching the game.
But South Carolina is perfect.
But also at the same time though, you also got to think about it.
They were perfect last year too.
Yeah.
And then they got beat by the LSU team.
Not the playoffs though.
They actually lost to someone else in the playoffs.
But they lose to Iowa.
Did they lose to Iowa this year in the playoffs?
Maybe they did.
Not there, but.
2023.
I mean, either way, the South Carolina team is really good.
Obviously they're undefeated.
They were playing UConn in the Final Four.
That seemed like a good game.
Paige Becker is really good for UConn.
Iowa did beat South Carolina.
Right, I want to tell you.
Iowa beat South Carolina.
That's going to be a rematch in the National Championship.
I do think that.
Look, you say it's all rigged.
So don't they want this rigged storyline to end up in the National Championship rematch
of last year?
No.
But the difference is though, is that.
What's the difference?
You could do two scenarios, okay?
You could either do Kaitlyn Clark actually wins the championship, you know, wins it all.
You know, success story.
Beats the undefeated team.
You know, like the underdog story.
You get what I'm saying?
Because you know, if you actually watch women's college basketball, you're going to look at
it as like, oh, meeting you both now, we're very smart.
I'm smarter than Evan, obviously.
I wouldn't say all that, but anyways.
If you look at it, if me and you look at it and we're like, okay, Iowa versus South Carolina,
what are me and you both going to say?
I'm going to say South Carolina.
South Carolina, right?
Yeah.
So you don't think that there's going to be like a little flip of the switch and be like,
okay, this is Kaitlyn Clark's time to shine?
Bro, you put all this on rigging and narratives.
It's the actual game.
If South Carolina has a game plan to stop Kevin Clark, if they play really good defense
and she's like her girl, they don't know how to defend that girl.
I don't know.
Big bro, LSU was literally up the first game that they played against each other.
It was only because Angel Reiss fouled out that South Carolina one.
So think about this, okay?
If they let an LSU team that just got knocked out by Iowa, like get up on them and they
weren't even down the whole season until they played LSU.
First of all, this bracket was set up wrong anyway.
LSU should be in the final four versus Iowa.
LSU shouldn't have played them when they lead eight.
They should have played them in the final four.
The bracket was set up wrong.
I do think that was sketchy.
Very sketchy, yeah.
I don't know why they did that.
If they wanted to increase ratings, they should have gone that way.
Well, here's what I'm going to say to that, okay?
If this bracket would have played out like my bracket, then Iowa wouldn't even have made
it to the lead eight.
You have the losing game.
Can't say it again.
Bro, come on.
Because they were actually smart with it.
If you watched that game, they were actually getting rebounds.
They were actually defending Gatlin Clark.
That was the key thing of that game.
It was the key thing of the LSU game too, but we just have no defense just to save our lives.
We couldn't catch a fat guy if it saved our life.
That's just real luck.
Okay, who does Iowa play?
This year or?
Here's Iowa playing next.
Who are they playing in the final four?
This year they play UConn.
They're playing UConn?
I thought South Carolina was playing UConn.
No, they're not.
North Carolina State.
Oh, okay.
See, I know nothing about North Carolina State.
Me either.
This is like the underdog women's team.
If North Carolina State somehow upsets them, then props to them.
NC State, they're in both the men's and women's final four, right?
And UConn.
I think first time in school history actually.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Where'd it go NC State? Wolfpack.
Wolfpack baby.
Yeah.
But.
I mean, I'd say this year, and last year really, the women's bracket has been more entertaining than the men's bracket.
Oh yeah, for sure.
There hasn't been really Cinderella stories in the men's bracket this year.
The only thing they have is that Oakland one.
They won one game and they got blown out the next game.
But that's literally the only highlight Cinderella story, because if you think about it, they beat Kentucky.
Oh my gosh, it's Kentucky.
And there hasn't really been very many memorable moments.
I mean, you know what? There's two Cinderella stories.
You got Oakland, and you got North Carolina State.
Yeah.
But you know, DJ Burns is a bad boy.
He's a big boy and a bad boy.
But I can't even see what he does against Zach E.
You think Zach E is going to be a top pick in the draft?
No, you know what I'm saying, GD?
I think he could be a lottery pick.
Yeah, a lottery pick. And then you got Bronnie. Bronnie's going to be a lottery pick.
Just for names.
Because I feel like there's...
Name where condition alone gets him the lottery before we even do anything.
Hold on.
I mean, I don't think Dalton connects enough.
I don't know if he's going to be in this year.
I'm not a super big follower of Kyle's basketball.
Because, look, okay, so they have Alexander Sarr go number one.
See, I mean, I'm not an huge follower of Kyle's basketball.
I don't remember the names.
Hold on, so you got Zach E.D. and you got Bronnie.
Okay, he's overseas. Okay.
I see Bronnie staying another year.
You think Bron's going to stay another year? No way.
No way is LeBron going to let him stay another year.
I'll tell you why.
The point is he's averaging two points a game.
You do realize that, right?
His stats are not that good to be at an NBA level.
Yeah, his stats are permitted.
But I feel like if he cracks the starting lineup at USC,
because you've got to think, the talent at USC is next level over there.
They have three All-American Jugglers.
So I feel like it was just a battle of who can get into that starting lineup.
I do think he's going to play one more year, though.
He's going to play one year. That's it, though.
One year, prove his stats actually ball out a good bit, and then go to the league.
I haven't seen him do that.
Or what if he goes to the G League and then just drafts him and the league?
You think he's going to come to the G League?
I feel like LeBron ain't going to let that happen. Why not?
LeBron's probably going to look at it as like, I don't want my son being a G Leaguer.
Bro.
He's star power or no power?
I mean, if you think about G Leaguer, you're playing against NBA level talent,
and it's a different game than the college game. Would you agree?
Oh yeah, with 10%
Yeah.
But my opinion, if we were to rank leagues right now, NBA number one of course.
There's no question about it.
Oh, no, no.
That's not even a question.
Number two, overseas.
The European basketball league.
The European, yeah.
Because I'll tell you why.
They produce a lot of great NBA players over there.
They've got a thing. The game's faster over there. They've got 20 second shot clock.
They don't have a three second violation over there.
I could stay in the paint as long as I want.
A Rudy Gobert could stay in the paint as long as he wants overseas.
Yeah.
So that's number two.
Number three would be like a G League maybe.
But you know, they're like what and what because you know,
some people are going to argue, oh, but that's like second tier NBA though.
But at the same time though, just from the amount the European has produced,
it's kind of, it just pushes it above the G League.
Yeah, the European League is the top league in Europe.
So.
Whereas the G League isn't the top league in America. It's the second tier.
NBA, yeah.
The little son of NBA.
But looking at this mock draft now, they don't even have Zach Eaddy in the top 18.
All right. Well, I don't know. I'm a big Zach Eaddy fan.
Y'all can say whatever you want, but I'm a big Zach Eaddy fan.
Okay. Well, they got us drafting Tijane Salud.
Bro, bro, they have the pelicans drafting that dude.
I don't know anything about him.
Oh, he's French. That's why.
Hey, don't make fun of the French.
I'm not making fun of the French, but I'm just saying like, okay, you pronounce this name then.
I'm not going to try to offend anyone.
We're not offending him. We're just trying to pronounce his name.
Tijane Salud.
What do you say to the credit of the next time?
I don't actually know if that's how it's pronounced, but Tijane Salud would be my best guess.
They got the pelicans drafting him and his pro comparison is Obe Toppin.
Bro, anyway, go back to the project.
So, yeah, you're right. You are getting off topic.
I was looking for Zach Eaddy, but Zach Eaddy's not literally eating. Oh, here he is.
He's going to the Spurs.
With Wimmy. He could play powerful with Wimmy as center.
What a death runner that would be.
This is a Minecraft, though.
But, okay, hold on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We ain't finished saying Jonas like this. Uh-uh. You ain't comparing him to Jonas like this.
Okay, okay. Enough. Enough. Enough. Go back to the project.
You're right. You're right. This is a conversation for another thing.
Disrespecting my players, no.
So, final thoughts on the women's bracket?
Bit salty, but like, are we picking winners or are we just thinking about the overall tournament?
Yeah, overall tournament. Like, final thoughts. What do you think?
I think it's better than the men's. I don't think that.
Yeah.
It ain't the best, but I mean, this year, though, I give it. It's gotten more odd.
They messed up. They messed up, too. LSU should be playing Iowa in the Final Four.
They should have not played in the Elite Eight. They messed up the bracket seed.
I think everyone will be doing that. Right?
I think they somehow messed up the bracket, too. I don't know.
Oh, this one's last year. Okay, so.
The men's, but if we were to pick a winner, give me Iowa because the underdog story.
You like Caitlin Clark in Iowa.
I don't like Caitlin Clark. That's the thing.
Well, I like Caitlin Clark. We established that, but he said Caitlin Clark hated.
I'm not a hater, either. It's just like.
You know how back in the day. Okay. Okay.
You know, back in the day when I was talking about how great LeBron is and you would hate me for it.
Oh, LeBron's not that great, man. Like, he's not the goat.
You see what I'm saying? This is that's what I feel like about Caitlin Clark.
But I'll give her her credit at the end of the day. But I do feel like in some hindsight, though.
It's over talked about, though, because you got so talked about ways all the time.
You think she's overhyped. I don't think she's overhyped.
You just said that. No, I think she's talked about too much, though.
Overhyped and too and overhyped and talked about too much of two different things.
Kind of the same thing. No, because.
So. Jimmy Butler. Okay. You're going to relate great to this, okay?
You can tell me he's the best player in the league. You can give me all the stats.
Which he is. He's not the best player. But I'm just saying from your delusional standpoint.
I'm not delusional. I don't think he's the top player in the league.
From your delusional standpoint, we're going to say this. Oh, man.
But the side of the scenario, from your delusional standpoint, you'd be like, oh, Caitlin Clark's the best.
Not Caitlin Clark. Jimmy Butler's the best.
Yada yada this. Yada yada that. And you will try to convince me until I die in my grave that Jimmy Butler is the best.
Over talking. It is different because you are also giving out another set of opinions.
Like Caitlin Clark is good, but also Paige Beckins is good.
The only reason they're talking about Caitlin Clark so much is think about it. She's breaking so many records.
She's breaking the records, right? That's why she deserves to be talked about.
She's breaking records.
Some of the records literally shouldn't be. Like we talked about last time.
I feel like you've got to break that record in the same amount of time. That's what I personally think.
What?
You've got to break a record like that all time scoring leader in college and men's or whatever.
I feel like you've got to break that a certain amount of time. So Pete Brokiss, four years, Caitlin Clark broken a five.
Then think about it. If she didn't have a COVID year, what's she going to break that record?
I don't know.
That's something you've got to consider too.
Overall, I think that I'm not hating on Caitlin Clark, but I do think Caitlin Clark will come out on top on this one.
I don't know if that's just my LSU bias on this one, but I do see Caitlin Clark coming out on top.
I thought that the women's bracket was better than the men's.
Now, the men's bracket, give me UConn by 30.
I like UConn.
Give me UConn by 30. I love their coke. UConn by 30. That's all I'm going to say.
Alright.
Let's get into our very next topic.
Dating in 2024.
I'll give you men's dating advice.
I'm not Dr. Love over here. You've got more dating experience than me.
That's what you call me. You call me Dr. Love.
I call him Dr. Love because every time we go to New Orleans or something, and I'll be telling him about this girl, he'll be like,
Yeah, man, you've got to do this. You've got to do that.
I'm like, look at you, Dr. Love.
He'd be giving me like, I call it prescriptions. He'd be giving me the prescriptions of love, baby.
But literally, as someone that grew up in an older household, like in the 60s, like my dad's like 60 something.
As someone that's growing up with an older person, the times have changed for dating.
Well, yeah. Yeah. For sure. Dating has changed from our appearance to our race and to ours.
Right. We both agree on that.
But like, I feel like now it's just more one night stand.
Very rare relationships, though. Pretty very rare, though. Not very rare, but like they still have it.
But I don't know. My dad would tell me stories about one night stands and all that, too.
I think that was a permanent thing. I don't want to know what my dad did.
I genuinely do not want to know what he did. But no, that stuff still happened back then.
I know it still happened, but I'm saying you're seeing more one night stands now than you are in actual relationships.
You get what I'm saying? But then again, though, I won't give us the benefit of that.
We are still young. We are still in our early 20s. We're both in our early 20s, yeah.
So we can do that. I don't know if I'd say there's more. I mean, I don't really have any numbers to back it up.
I don't really know if there's more or less one night stands than 10, like 20, 30 years ago in our parents' generation.
I guess both of our parents are kind of older. I mean, dating has changed from back then. Absolutely.
I'd say a big reason why it's changed is because technology's changed.
Right. So you have use of cell phones, one of your cell phones, you can FaceTime people, I mean, Snapchat, Instagram, you know, social media now.
So I got a website. It is shout out to Gint Nooks. I don't know what kind of name that is.
That doesn't sound very official.
I mean, it's giving statistical stats now. According to recent studies, 66 percent of Americans have had at least one night stand in their lives,
while 48 percent of men and 36 percent of women say they've done so.
In Norway, 35 percent of women and 51 percent of men reported having had a one night stand.
So I don't know if this is what you, when was this published? 2024. This was last updated, 2024.
So I'm guessing that's statistics for the Americans, the 48 percent of men and 36 percent of women.
So I mean, that's not a bad number, but that's more than half though.
Okay. But I mean, what's that say about your point? What point are you trying to make?
That there's more one night stand than actual dating now. Which I mean, of course that's going to happen though, because you know.
Yeah, because you know, something happens at the bar or at the club and they just get you out.
Well, they're both drunk, two people are drunk and they just happen to that night, you know, have a one night stand or whatever,
the next night they don't really want anything official.
Or they do anything or anything to do with the other person, it depends on how it was.
But I don't know, I'm still a holy child of God at this point.
You know, you can be a child of God, I'm a child of God as well. You know, praise Jesus, praise the Lord all the way.
You know, I'm talking about like, I'm talking about like still pure virgin, all of that, that type of child of God.
Yeah. All right. So you're just going to put that out there for Lord. That's what you talk. Okay. Okay.
I mean, it's the truth though. You have to be ashamed about not having sex before. I'm not ashamed about it.
And by the way, if someone does shame you for being a virgin or not having sex, like that's still not cool to do.
Like who are you to shame this person just because he's chosen whether he wants to or not, he just never had sex before.
I mean, that's nothing to shame someone. Well, maybe he's just waiting for the right person.
But that, yeah, that is, that could be a possibility too, but that's nothing to shame someone for.
It's not this like magical thing that after you have sex, you're this magical new person.
I mean, I mean, I would know, I guess you're not this like magical new person after you have sex. You're the same person.
Yeah, you are the same person. But do you ever feel like shame because you've never had sex before?
No, no, actually, I'm not going to lie to you. I get more surprise reactions. Like it's weird though.
From men and women.
I mean, of course, the men are going to fucking do their own thing, but you know, that's God's own. I mean, I expect that from God's own.
But women, they're like, oh my gosh, you're still a virgin? I mean, I don't know if it's because like.
It kind of is unexpected in this day and age because more people, I think the national average of people, both men and women who lose their virginity is like 17, 18.
You know, you're a teenager at that point. Yeah, look that up. I'm not positive on the number, but I think that's the case.
It's like 17, 18, maybe. So the population of you. OK, the CDC, you know.
The CDC reports that the average age of losing one's virginity referring to penetrative intercourse is 17.3 years.
17. Yeah, I was right. And 17 on the dot 17.0 years for men, according to the 2011 to 2015 research data.
OK, so yeah, it's about 17 or 18, depending if you're a man or woman.
Do we feel like that's low? What do you feel about the number?
What about 17 being the. Yeah.
It's right. I mean, I'm not going to say it's low.
Like the eight, because it's years. So it'd be like someone I would take to 17. Yeah, I would say it's low.
But I wouldn't say it's high. So like it's fair. Yeah, you'd say it's fair.
I mean, I guess so. I mean, you're probably a junior or senior in high school.
You are. Yeah, you're a junior. 18 at the senior.
Depending on your birthday, junior, senior in high school.
I guess that's about right. I mean, morally, what do you think about the number?
I feel like it. I feel like you should lose your virginity in college.
Like, I don't know if you. Right. Absolutely. Yeah.
I don't know if morally it's the right thing to have sex in high school.
And I mean, I guess that's just me coming from a Christian standpoint of kind of like what you alluded to.
I mean, I don't believe in the more night staying culture.
Do you like, oh, you just have sex for a night and then forget about the next night.
I think having sex is a lot more meaningful if you actually have a relationship with that person.
And I think it's more meaningful sex.
And there's a difference between sex that is meaningless and sex that's meaningful.
Would you agree? I'd absolutely agree.
And a response and under it, it has a response to the 2019 CDC sexual risk behavior study.
Thirty percent of high school students surveyed reported that they never had penetrative intercourse.
Well, there is no consistent consensus of that available on a state by state basis.
Most states have different laws governing top of whether encourage or discourage their teens from intercourse.
So I mean, I don't know what state this is from, but like 30 percent said they never had it.
I mean, I think that's that's a pretty low number, but that's also it's also I expect that.
Yeah, that's fair. I expect that number though in high school, you know, high school is the sometimes stuff like we did some stuff in high school.
We all know that. Everyone does.
So going back to the topic of dating life in 2024, what would you say is the main like thing that people got to be aware of when you're dating in 2024?
Just know the intentions of the woman.
Well, this is from a guy's standpoint, from a guy's I can't speak for a woman.
Yeah, we can't speak for women because we're not women.
But I would just say from a guy's standpoint, just know what the ends really are.
Because, you know, you can get your heart broken because, you know, let's just say little Elena here may go after her hero, but he doesn't have the intention.
This girl, he just want the whole time and he may get attached to this girl.
So, but I mean, at the end of the day, your little heart may get broken because, you know, you want a serious relationship.
She wants, you know, I mean, I can kind of see what you're coming from.
But like, but you get like the point of where I'm going from, like, just know like what they want.
Like if they want to settle down, then like it depends on what you want and what they want.
Yeah, absolutely. As a guy, you have to know what the girl wants and like, and to know what you want to because you could also you could also be like,
like, for example, not the, you know, no, no, no.
What?
I was going to be like for you, let's just say for you, let's say you just got out of a relationship, okay?
You may want to, you just got into a relationship. You could either A, go into another relationship or B, just walk around and be a whore.
You know, I think morally the B option is not the right option, but that's just me.
But it is what you want though. Not saying it is what you want, but it's like it could be what you want though.
I mean, is that the healthier option though?
I don't know, you're making such a mess today. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
Well, just from like a, like a mental standpoint, I don't think that's a healthier option to just have a bunch of one night stands just because you're single and people don't have sex because it feels so good, right?
In my soci, not my sociology, psychology class, it was like it made, I forgot what the point of one night stands for.
Well, you're craving that dopamine, you're craving that.
Yeah, but someone can have a legitimate sex addiction, which any type of addiction really isn't good for you.
No matter what type of addiction, alcohol, drug addiction, sexual addiction is also not good for you.
That's like a no-no.
What?
Hold on.
What'd you pull up?
I pulled up what is the point of one night stands as a doubt because...
You're trying to get that dope with me. You're trying to get that sexual fix in.
But, one night stands are characterized by a high level of sexual and emotional intimacy wherein the primary purpose of sexual fulfillment, free from any restriction, expectation of commitment, and pressure of a traditional romantic relationship.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not really dope with me. It's just feeling like, it's just feeling like you have someone for the night, I guess.
And you're not committed to that person at all. You don't have all that baggage that you have with men.
Exactly. It's just like, it's like a situationship now, I guess.
Yeah. I mean, situationships are different than one night stands.
In situationships, you know the person.
They know the person.
And you'll have multiple meetings up with that person.
But see, that's also weird to me too because it's also like, because it's practically dating just not with the title.
I mean, it kind of is in some ways.
But you might as well just call that Friends with Benefits though.
I mean, they're kind of the same things, I think. I'm sorry.
That just went through my ear.
Like, ding, and both of your ears popped out.
But I do think that it is kind of strange.
I don't know if this begins just in the household I grew up in.
But I do think it's strange looking at it from the outside world.
Because I had a chick tell me the other day, she asked me if I was still a virgin.
I go, yeah. She's like, you've been a saint for the right girl.
I'm just like, I don't know what I want to do.
I mean, everyone has their own feelings about that, I guess.
From my perspective, you should, I mean, it's just my point of view that sex isn't something you should be looking for.
Like, I don't agree with the whole one night stand culture.
I'm more of the type of person where if you have sex with someone, it should be meaningful.
You should do it with a meaningful person, which you have a relationship with.
Or that you know and you like this girl, she likes you, and you both know each other's intentions.
You have a relationship with that person.
I'm not saying you have to date that person.
But I feel like sex is more meaningful.
And you should strive for meaningful sex.
Meaningful sex instead of meaningless sex.
Which is what more night culture is.
But, dating nowadays, literally I was talking to this chick.
You know, I told my boy, dude, I was talking to this other chick.
And she was like, for some reason, I got called a manipulator.
Do you think dating is too hard for you?
Yes, absolutely. But that's also me.
Because I have no success in it. That's also me.
Okay, so why do you think dating is so hard for you?
Because you know, because the women that have experience in dating, let's just say, they never had a good guy in their life.
So, you understand that whenever, let's just say, you're a good dude, so you date a woman with experience, okay?
They don't know how to get treated by a good guy, because you know, guys nowadays are.
Yeah, the one night stand culture. The pieces of shit. Right.
That's why I think it's harder, because you know, you genuinely try to be a good dude.
And they'll be like, oh, you're dead, blah, blah, blah.
I'm just like, I'm never trying to be like that. I'm sorry.
You know. Yeah, that's where the connection, you have to have a connection with that person.
And if you can't talk honestly with that person, if you can't have deep conversations with that person, then they're not the right person for you.
The crazy thing was like, we actually had like deep conversations before.
So like that was my thing with that. And she was like, yeah. And I'm just like.
For all the dudes out there, deep conversations are an underrated part of dating. They're the best.
Yeah, you got to be able to tell your life story backwards, forwards and backwards, baby.
Yeah, I mean, you got to share your life story and they got to share their life story.
You got to share your life story.
Connect to that deep level.
You got to know their life story. You also got to know the little shit like anniversary dates and all that.
I'm not a girl that didn't care about anniversary dates.
Oh, well then. Well, it also just depends on the person.
It does depend on the person.
But the funny thing, though, was that when I told my friend, I'm like, she called me niggie.
She was like, no, that was actually kind of funny.
Because you want to know why ever I go. Why is that funny? Because you're a genuinely good dude.
And you got called a manipulator. But he's a piece of shit.
He's proud of it. He's proud of it. He's very committed now.
I'll give him this credit. He's very committed. I ain't going to say a name.
Good, good.
He's very committed. So. But he was like, yeah, but like, whenever I talk to girls, they'll be like, oh, you're a manipulator.
And he'll just be like, oh, yeah, I'm definitely a manipulator.
He'll accept it. And I'm just like, you're the reason what's wrong with this right now.
But I mean, that's that's how I personally think about it.
Oh, yeah. I mean, if a girl is done with you and she chooses one day more, she's going to find a reason to end it with you.
I mean, look, you can see the statistics. Women are way more likely to break off a relationship than men are.
I mean, it's just statistically accurate that the woman is going to be the one to break up the relationship like 70 percent of the time or something like that.
I mean, do you feel like that would be the case?
It's sad to say because, you know, it can affect men's mental health and stuff because.
You know. You don't know what that what the main reason of why that woman is very happy.
You know, if it's if it's for an actual reason of like, oh, he's treating me like bad, you know, in ways that I'm not going to say.
You understand what I'm saying? Right. Like that.
Then that's a solid reason. But it's just like, oh, I want to be free.
But you're like 40 years old and you want to go do that. That's just me though.
Yeah. Men's mental health is not talked about enough. You have a lot of people in mainstream talk about women's mental health and how important it is.
But men's mental health is not talked about enough.
Think about it. We just had men's mental health month and what? Not genuine.
I don't know. That shows how people don't care about it enough.
I mean, I don't know what men's mental health month is, but it's definitely something that a lot of men suffer from depression.
Oh, it's a genuine. Yeah.
I'm saying that's private.
But we have to celebrate. We don't celebrate.
We do. We got to celebrate men's mental health.
But it's not. I'm thinking about it.
We got to celebrate your people.
Definitely not my people. We support all of our gay and gay women.
We support the LGBTQ movement.
Okay. In this podcast, we are LGBTQ friendly.
We are. We're everybody friendly. Women, women.
Except you. You don't like the Irish, apparently. You said that last episode.
What did I do against the Irish?
You said that last episode. You're like, oh, I don't like the Irish.
I don't know why. I don't know. Wait, what do I have against the Irish?
I thought I don't know. Bro, I don't know why you said that. I was like, whoa, I didn't hold up.
Did you rewatch it back?
I did. I was saying how happy St. Patrick's Day.
Right, Amit? And then you said you hate the Irish. No, no, no, no. You said I hated the Irish. Hold up there.
Now I remember that episode. You said I hated the Irish.
Check the footage, everyone. Check the footage. I will check it myself.
You said I hated the Irish, but I was like, no, no, no. We support all of our Irish reviewers out there.
It's literally like in the first two minutes of the video.
You better read one of that footage. You better read one of that footage. Stop the cap. Stop the cap.
But anyways, back to the subject. So, Junior's Men's Mental Health Month.
November is actually National Men's Health Awareness Month.
They have so many different things every single month.
According to Vanderbilt University, though. But I think June is the main month, though.
Okay. But anyways, men's mental health is not talked about enough. It really isn't.
You have so many people, so many men who are depressed and down on themselves of any generation.
And it's not talked about as much as the women's is because everyone's like, oh, support women.
We support women here. We do. We love sports and women.
But at the same time, you also have to look at your own mental health as a man.
You got to put yourself first instead of that woman first.
And I've been guilty of that myself, putting this woman first when actually you should be putting yourself first.
Yeah, because. And worrying about your mental health, your spiritual health, and your physical health.
Because at the end of the day, you still got to be the one to perform.
That woman can't perform for you. You got to perform in all aspects of life, whether it be work, whether it be school, whether it be anything.
You still have to perform. So you need to get your mind, body, whatever you need to get right.
And soul right.
That's the main important thing about that.
I mean, okay, so what are some factors you think that contribute to men's mental health?
What about like not being like cared about or?
Yeah, like why do you think some men go through a little mental health?
I do think that's the perception of it.
Because I'll tell you a perception of this, okay?
People will look at us as men.
But at the same time, though, whenever they'll look at us like, oh, they're guys. They'll be all right.
You know, the tough guys. Right, yeah. Be tough. You'll find.
Don't look at it. That's what I feel like.
And that's the main word. You know, even as little boys, we're told, oh, don't cry. What are you, little girl? Don't cry.
Right? You've been told that, right? Yeah.
Yeah. We're taught, oh, you shouldn't show emotions. What are you for showing emotions? A little girl? A little baby for showing emotions?
But at the end of the day, though, like when everything piles on you, you're going to show emotion.
That's not even me trying to be me. That's not me trying to be anything. You are going to show.
Let's just say you have, let's just say your mother just died a week ago.
Your girlfriend just broke up with you in the same week. And your house caught on fire.
You can't statistically very low probability that that is very statistically low probability.
But we're just going to say in that scenario that happens.
You ain't going to tell me there's one person on this planet that's not going to break down from that.
As like women are allowed to feel that way, whereas men are expected to show you're tough, show you're strong. Right?
Yeah. But I'm also letting all my viewers out there now, if y'all ever run up on me,
y'all try to hit me with that soft stuff, hey man, I will swing back. I will swing back.
What do you mean?
And they'd be like, hey, you're a little softy. And they try to come hit you with something with it. Bam.
But anyways, but that's just what it is.
But I do think that it is important for everyone to get their mind right. Like everyone.
Men, women, babies, children, old people.
I mean, we're saying like, oh, you know, as men we're told we're not supposed to show emotions.
But I mean, I'm guilty of following that because I don't show emotions unless I'm in private.
You know, I even told, you know, kids like that was an intern, like, you know, as men we're told all this.
And it's okay, you know, even if you don't want to be publicly shamed in private, let it all out in a healthy way.
Like they'll punch walls and destroy you.
I mean, do a very healthy way to get it out.
Healthy ways.
Like go punch on the punching bag if you want to.
Yes.
Like something healthy that does not do property damage.
And if you feel as a man, and many men feel this way, that you can't cry in public, I feel this way.
Do you feel this way?
What, that you can't cry in public?
Yeah. I mean, you're not going to cry in public, are you?
Yeah, you're not going to.
But crying in private, bro, it's so therapeutic.
I do it.
I mean, do you do it?
Yeah.
That's a little bit.
Crying in private, honestly, to yourself, it's therapeutic.
I mean, women are crying for the rest of their lives.
For some women, we want attention though.
That's the thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean.
They'll just cry, literally.
They'll have a good day.
Then they'll just cry out of nowhere.
Bro, women are so emotional.
But you know, that is our counterfeition, bro.
We've got to.
Yeah.
It's how we differ from each other.
You know, we're the more stoned, less emotional ones, whereas they are sometimes over emotional.
And they're nurturing because they're so emotional.
It's the differing sides of men and women.
You know, that's why people say, oh, there's no difference between men and women.
We're the same people.
Like, no, we're not.
There's biological differences that make us different from one another.
Absolutely.
There's absolutely biological differences.
But I do think that from the mental health standpoint, it is important.
So, but yeah, before we get this topic off, if you actually need help, like talk to someone that you know.
Talk to a close friend of yours.
Like, talk.
Talk to your parents, bro.
Talk to your parents, man.
Have a healthy relationship with your parents.
Like.
That's the number one life advice I can give right now.
Oh, I can give lots of life advice.
But that's one of them.
Have a healthy relationship with your parents.
Probably some people don't have that.
Talk to your.
If you're able.
Yeah.
If you're able to.
But if not, talk to your close friends, whatever family you got.
Or if you want to go the next extra step forward, you can call a lifeline.
Yeah, but like, ideally, helpfully, you know, look for those close connections, family or friends to talk to.
Because honestly, everyone needs.
From time to time, everyone's going to need someone to lean on.
You know, that Bill Weathers song, we just need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me.
Yeah, but that is that is the main.
That was the main point of everything.
So we all need to come together and live in perfect harmony.
But like I said, you need help.
Hey, and if someone comes to you asking for advice or just asking to be heard, don't clown in that person.
Do not clown on that person.
Don't make fun of them.
They're coming to you because they trust you as a trusted friend.
But I'm a clown in that person just because, oh, we're going to cry.
No, help them as a fellow friend, as a fellow person.
But that's so rude, dog.
OK, so our next subject, we have a little thing that we got where we got someone doing something done.
We might make that a little segment on this.
Yeah, that would be a recurring segment.
That might be our daily episode of every episode.
We'll have a little second time doing something dumb.
So do do do do do something dumb.
That's that's our sound.
Anyway, so a McDonald's in California is going to charge twenty dollars for a happy meal.
OK, this is an article I saw just a couple of minutes ago, like right before we started this episode.
And I mean, I don't know if this is actually going to actually happen,
but because California raised their minimum wage to twenty dollars for all the fast food workers,
now this McDonald's franchisee is saying, look, I mean, I'm going to have to start charging twenty dollars for a happy meal.
I mean, some way to pay these workers twenty dollars.
So what am I going to do as a business owner?
Charge twenty dollars for a happy meal.
California is already so expensive to live in, especially Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Prices are sky high for everything in California.
So I mean, when you think about it, these business owners have to get money somehow.
They're not going to be subsidized for the government for paying these workers twenty dollars.
So what are you going to do as a business owner?
You have to raise your prices in order to be profitable.
If you keep the prices low, but your wages go up, your profits can be negative.
OK, so hold up the article.
This is from the New York Post.
A McDonald's franchisee who owns 18 restaurants in northern California said he has been forced to raise many prices
in response to the state's new twenty dollars an hour minimum wage law for fast food workers,
though he will resist raising the prices of happiness.
OK, so I thought it was the insight of, oh, he's just doing it just to do it.
No, he's not. He's not. He doesn't actually want to do this.
He's resisting it. OK.
I mean, but you kind of have to as a business owner, right?
You have to. Yes, you have to.
But that's also because you like the area you live at and like all these other stuff.
So like you kind of have to because you're using California.
California just passed the law that fast food workers now earn twenty dollars an hour.
So if you have to pay your employees more, then you have to raise your prices, right?
Yes.
But twenty dollars for a happy meal is just so crazy to me.
That's why we mean that's that's inflation now.
So like inflation is. Yeah.
But I'll just bring up. That's the reason why.
Right. Like literally we never talk about raising the minimum wage like fifty dollars an hour.
They risk it to twenty like fifteen, twenty like.
Well, there's this one person in California that wants to raise minimum wage to fifty dollars an hour.
Oh, no. Oh, no. What a shit show that would be.
Oh, no. So.
Don't read the whole article. I must say, well, I'm not reading the whole article, but.
He said we have looked at a price at price, although I can't charge twenty dollars for a happy meal.
Who owned he in the last three months, Robert has raised many prices between five percent and seven percent in amputation.
I mean, he has to. Right. Yes.
OK, so he's been prepared for this, actually. Yeah.
So the dude's name is Scott Roderick.
He's he's a McDonald's franchisee who owns 18 restaurants in Northern California.
But I mean, that's that he's actually doing them good.
He's doing the good because he's getting them prepared.
He's been getting the right to the left. So that's just one of the same California part.
But I mean, it just stay in California is doing something.
Exactly. So that's the moral story.
That does that. That was our little subject for that.
California is doing something. We are surprised.
That that's OK. So then.
All right. Move on to the next topic.
If my laptop can pull up real quick.
OK. What are some things we like and dislike about the great state of Louisiana?
Yeah. Well, we're both from Louisiana, so we've lived in Louisiana all of our lives.
We can kind of share our opinions on this.
But you're someone that's actually gone and lived in other states.
Yeah. Yeah. I've stayed in other states for months or like a summer over in other states.
I'd definitely say Louisiana.
The climate is something that you may not be used to if you're somewhere else that's not the south.
Very hot and humid summers, which are uncomfortable, especially July, August.
It can get over 100 degrees. Plus, you got all the humidity.
So it just feels miserable sometimes in the summertime.
But you know what though? That makes it softer though.
Because I went to Vegas one year. It was the highest scorching temperature in Vegas.
It was 115, 117.
Now, you want to know something that would make you top.
Good northern like up in the north United States in the wintertime.
It is so cold out there, dog.
Oh yeah. I forgot you went there.
I've been in northern Minnesota, northern North Dakota, way up there by Canada.
And it gets so cold in the wintertime.
I want to go with the upper limit.
That's what I'm going to do.
Okay. Something great about Louisiana though.
Well, climate can be a pro of climate, depending on the season.
There's a lot of pollen here, a lot of humidity.
It doesn't get cold during the wintertime, which is a major plus.
You know what I'm going to say about something for good?
And you definitely won't agree with this too.
What?
We make some amazing food.
Food.
Yes.
1000%.
I'm going to use a big word.
Cuisine in Louisiana is amazing.
And obviously it kind of originates in New Orleans.
Or the New Orleans is famous for the New Orleans cuisine.
Gumball, jumbo malla, red beans and rice.
Crawfish.
Crawfish, yeah.
Especially across the Caydea and everyone in Louisiana.
Crawfish, shrimp, crab, oils.
Amazing.
We're known for crawfish, boils over here.
Like, but except for the shrimp, literally the prices are so high.
I just had crawfish and cabodisco at Easter.
Oh, you're so lucky.
Really? Good stuff, man. Good stuff.
You're so lucky, though. Crawfish prices are so high.
I mean, what's your favorite Louisiana food?
If it's not crawfish, if it's not anything seafood,
then it's probably going to be like, if it's a Louisiana dish, it's going to be jumbo malla.
Jumbo malla is great.
I've had some bad jumbo malla stuff.
You've got to know how to make the jumbo malla good.
You can't have jumbo malla that's too dry and you can't have it too moist.
It's going to be just good.
Seems right.
I'm not a spice guy.
It can't be too spicy for me.
No, because Evan's a little bitch over here.
He's in like, wow, that's spicy.
You just said it yourself, man.
No, no, no, no.
Okay, I'll shove some sriracha down that throat and we will see how tough you can get it.
Okay, different cultures have different types of spice, like Asian spice.
Asian heat is different than Mexican heat.
And that's a little bit different than like down Criollo heat.
Oh, yeah.
Would you agree? Like, things are different.
Absolutely. So, crazy thing.
Whenever I went to Belize, a couple weeks back, they were, you know, they, you know,
how over here we do peanut oil.
We use peanut oil in a fraction.
Yeah.
But over there they use coconut oil.
Oh, that must be good.
Bro, we caught our fish.
We brought it back to the hotel and they were like, okay, we can cook this for you.
Do you want to grill it or fry it?
My dad was like, okay, we want to.
When I tell you, it was some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life.
It was amazing.
But it was also cooked and cooked.
So I was just like, that's actually sounds kind of good.
You can find good food in a lot of places around the world.
But Louisiana is a hot spot for great cuisine.
Oh, yeah.
Some bad things about Louisiana though, you can look at the U.S. News Report.
We rank in the bottom five in pretty much every major category.
Education, crime, health, environment.
Like, we're not too, like, great of a state in all the metrics that matter.
Yeah, we are not that great of a state.
But, I mean, it's fun though.
I'm a good person now.
We have fun every year.
I mean, it's a party state.
So we're going to have fun.
But at the same time though, school not worth it.
I mean, I wouldn't send my kid anywhere around here.
I mean, I'd send him to LSU.
I'd send him to LSU.
Or maybe either LSU or Tulane.
Tulane's a good school.
Loyola's good down there.
Yeah, LSU's a good state school.
But any other school, like Northwestern, South Eastern?
LA Tech.
LA Tech's a maybe.
I kind of like LA Tech, so that's a maybe for me.
So, but like, I'd send him to either one of those schools.
But do I think, what do I not like?
How every time I go to the city, it's literally, I have a chance of losing my car.
Yeah, the crime, yeah, brought it up.
Bottom five in a lot of things, including crime.
Crime in Louisiana is worse than a lot of other states.
But I think we're the highest ranked in murder, though.
Like, we were like, for a while, we were below Detroit, I think.
Detroit or Chicago.
You talking about New Orleans?
New Orleans was below, I think Detroit or Chicago.
Now I think we're number one.
I don't think we're number one.
Memphis is high, you know.
Yeah, New Orleans, a lot of states in New Orleans are high crime per capita.
I mean, a lot of states in Louisiana is high crime per capita.
New Orleans, Cambridge, Hamon is high crime per capita.
Oh, well, shout out to Gore.
Louisiana has the highest per capita murder rate in the nation.
Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, crime is bad in Louisiana.
It's definitely not as safe as other southern states, even.
It's not the safest state.
The reason is because of Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Both have murder rates right around 40 people per 100,000.
Chicago is just 24 per 100,000.
Okay, I'll tell you this as someone who's lived in other states or lived for weeks, months in other states that
in Louisiana, especially New Orleans, Baton Rouge, like those kind of areas, stuff's open later.
Like North stuff, it fills like 4 or 5 p.m.
And like, why can't I get dinner here?
Oh, we've been closed.
Like, why?
Whereas a lot of restaurants, bars, clubs out here stay open way later than they do at night.
Oh, yeah.
Literally after one day, there will be a day where we will get done filming a podcast and I will go to Tigerland.
This will be one day.
I don't know when.
I don't know what time.
It will happen.
After I get done filming a podcast, I am going to pick the Tigerland.
All right.
Because I've never been to Tigerland before.
Yeah.
But I heard it's fun, though.
But anyways, so yeah, bars and stuff are literally closed until 2 o'clock at night.
How do I know?
Because the bars I'm around literally don't close until 2 o'clock at night.
Well, another thing, southern Louisiana culture is different than northern Louisiana culture.
So we only know southern Louisiana culture.
Oh, yeah.
We're the most informal people around here.
Like, compared to the northern people, we'd be like, how are y'all?
How are you doing today?
Good, sir?
And you know, we think they picture the, you know, the overall issue.
That's what they think.
No, no, I mean, like, you're the Louisiana, like, so like Shreveport, Monroe, stuff like that.
You know, they were hellbilly like they're close to Arkansas there, whereas we're more
Acadiana, so small, catching crawfish.
So would you say that they're more hillbilly than us?
Yeah, because they're they like their culture is more like Arkansas than like crawfish
because they don't have crawfish up there.
Like, they don't catch it fresh up there because that's down here in the crawfish ponds
and like Acadiana around Lafayette, Brokebridge is right there by Lafayette, crawfish cap
of the world right there.
That makes sense.
That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, but I don't know.
I feel like Louisiana would be better here and so much stuff, but at the same time, though,
I want the best for my home state and it's not the best right now.
It is.
It has so much to improve on.
It is definitely not for us.
You drive along Baton Rouge and you see so many chemical plants creating so much pollution,
you know, destroying the environment.
That's just everywhere, actually.
We need to save the planet.
I'm trying to be Mr. Save the Planet here.
Hashtag save the planet.
But I do think that we do need to be better overall as a state.
I agree.
And before better than what we need to be.
Like our education system needs to get better.
Needs to improve.
Our pride needs to get better, but that's awesome.
That's literally not.
It's only between two places.
That's the only bad part.
No, no.
Crime is bad in a lot of places in Louisiana.
Hamid per capita has a lot of climate per capita.
Baton Rouge isn't the best for crime.
Shreveport isn't the best for crime.
Like, no, these cities have to get better.
It's a statewide issue.
I mean, come on.
Come on, dog.
Let's say your city is in the US.
Okay, here we go.
All right.
We got to move on.
We need to move on.
But before we get off topic, before we leave this topic.
So I have a little map.
Is this a good little map?
Is this going to take a few seconds?
Come on, dog.
The places are Monroe, Alexandria, the world of the boundaries.
Yeah, all about the state.
That's the kind of it.
But that was the little map.
But now to the final topic of the day.
All right.
What do we think about Aaron, the motherfucking goat, Rogers?
He's not the goat.
He is the goat.
We will debate that another time.
Okay.
Being the MVP.
He's not the MVP.
He's my MVP.
He's my MVP for anything.
He didn't play last season.
I don't care.
He will be the MVP.
But I just didn't play last season.
He got played last season.
He will be the MVP.
But you see, that's why I can't negotiate.
I can't argue with him because we always get into a video killing.
But what do we think about Aaron Rogers being the VP?
What athlete or someone would be a good vice president?
Vice president, vice president, whatever.
Not just athlete.
Let's just talk about people.
I mean, I wouldn't even want to write this as my VP.
As much as I love Aaron Rogers, no.
Stick to football.
I'm not going to even tell him to stick to football.
Some people can do both.
Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example.
He was able to act and do all that, then get into governing California.
But I do think in order for him to be a good vice president, though, would he need some experience?
Yes.
He has no experience in anything.
What has he done?
I don't know.
Maybe become a mayor or something.
Mayor of Green Bay.
Mayor of Green Bay or something.
He owns the Chicago Bears, so he could get something out of that.
But I feel like he needs to get more political experience first before he even thinks about going to vice president.
Because I think that's just a massive jump.
That is a big massive jump.
Yeah, no.
I don't want Aaron Rogers, so this might be...
Now, who I think would be a good president or vice president?
That is a hard one.
I personally think...
You know who everyone loves?
Everyone loves Donnie Parton.
Every single person loves Donnie Parton.
I haven't met one person who says, you know, I hate that person.
You know what?
Who doesn't like Donnie Parton?
You know, I'm not going to say The Rock because I feel like The Rock is wishy-washy.
So I'm not going to say The Rock.
It's kind of hard.
Who doesn't like Donnie Parton?
You really want me to say Donnie Parton, do you?
No, I'm saying me.
I'm saying Donnie Parton.
Oh, you're saying Donnie Parton?
I mean, Donnie Parton is not bad.
I actually would consider Donnie Parton.
Either Donnie Parton or if this rule was broken where you had to be born in America,
was broken and I could just pick anybody,
I'd pick like two people for some random ass reason.
Michael Keaton or Arnold Schwarzenegger maybe.
Arnold Schwarzenegger?
That's if the rules magically broke, he's got to be born in the US type shit.
Yeah.
Why Michael Keaton?
That came out of nowhere.
I don't know.
He was a Batman.
That came out of nowhere.
I don't know.
I feel like he'd be a good president.
Because he played Batman?
Yes.
That makes no sense.
I don't know because it really depends on the person.
Because you hear some athletes talk about their political views and then you hear some
fellow talk about their political views.
It just really depends on what you agree with.
I don't really deep dive into that because I know some guys are crazy, crazy things they
say about political stuff.
But I don't know, it just really depends on what the person says or does.
Yeah.
I mean we don't know obviously these people's policies very well.
I mean they're not in politics so we don't really know what they would have policies
of but we're just thinking of people who are in pop culture that would be cool, you know,
that we want to see as presidents.
I think Dolly Parton would make a good president because every single American likes Dolly Parton.
I don't know one single person doesn't like Dolly Parton.
She's a small town girl from Tennessee, grew up poor and now she's a millionaire.
Okay.
So according to Euro news, so they got a list of people.
Go ahead.
Matthew McConaughey.
Okay, I remember that.
I remember that one.
Matthew McConaughey baby.
Alright.
This one said Taylor Swift.
No.
That one said The Rock.
I said no.
Hold up, Taylor Swift is more fun for me than she would want to even get into politics.
Well, no, I feel like Taylor Swift would win that automatically.
Oh, she wouldn't want to get into politics.
Why would she want to do that?
She wouldn't want to get into politics.
Why would she want to do that?
Let's see.
You also got Oprah Winfrey.
Yeah, I've heard her like being brought up a lot in these kind of conversations.
Like I don't understand.
Or I don't understand why a lot of people love Oprah.
I guess I wasn't in the Oprah generation, but I don't understand the love for Oprah.
Or the final one they have, vote for none of the above.
None of the above.
Good choice.
So no president?
Yeah, no president.
How would the government work if there was no president?
It'd be scary.
We would have a purge.
Well, I mean we'd have the Congress still.
There doesn't need to be a president.
Do you think Congress is going to stop people from doing whatever they want?
What are you talking about?
I mean...
Here's what I'm saying.
I don't even know what I'm saying.
Yeah, you don't understand.
I'm still getting together.
Bro, it's 12.30 and he still hasn't woken up yet.
It's 1.08, but...
Okay, it's 1 o'clock and he still hasn't woken up.
I still haven't woken up, but overall, that is today's episode.
I hope all of y'all do enjoy today's episode if you are listening to it, especially if you're from Belgium.
We hope you enjoy and I hope everyone has a good day.
What do you think?
Yeah, everyone have a great day, great night, whenever it is you're listening to this.
Be sure to respect other people, respect their views, respect their opinions.
Be kind to other people.
This world needs more kindness.
We need to be kind to other people, would you agree?
I absolutely agree.
This podcast stands for kindness.
Yeah, you need to be more kind to me.
That's what you need to do.
Alright, be more kind to everyone except Evan.
No, no, no.
Hey, you're Evan.
If you want to say hate mail my way, I'm out forward to Evan.
It's okay, I'm a bully about this podcast, guys. Don't worry. I'm a bully.
Alright, with that being said, goodbye everyone.
Goodbye.
Adios.
