Wait, wait, wait. Okay, now do the intro. Wait.
Okay, let's count to 400. 1, 2, 400. 400. 400.
Okay, welcome everyone to the Extra Spicy Pod
or this Extra Spicy Sunday. Today, we're having
a mental health episode because in the very beginning
of our start of our amazing podcast, we told
ourselves, Landon came to me, he was like, Evan,
I don't want to just be a just sports podcast.
I want to be able to talk about other stuff.
I said, okay. We can definitely do that. I don't
want to talk about sports all the time. He doesn't
want to talk about sports all the time. So, this
is our random mental health episode that we both
like to talk about because we're tired of talking
about sports. And so, we want to give advice
to the amazing young men and people out there.
Yeah, I mean, all the boys out there, you know,
people struggle with this stuff. We're out here
for the boys trying to help. a boy out a brother
out like we're gonna help all of you out who
are struggling in listening to this pod and we
got you you know we're gonna give you some advice
through young adult life through like you know
we're both in our young 20s So we can kind of
relate if you're also in that age range. And
to give you a nice little rundown, Landon had
dating experience. I don't have dating experience.
So it's kind of a good little mix and match of
balance right there. Yeah, I mean, we both have
different experiences in life. And I mean, if
we both had the same exact experience, we won't
be bringing anything different. We both bring
different dynamics to the conversation. So we
can both kind of hit you with at different angles
of. Different levels of advice. You know, my
levels are higher. Higher levels of advice. You
might be like the lower level of advice, but
that's okay. People crave different advice. And
see, Landon's the type of person to where he's
going to get his head bashed in that wall. But
we're spreading positivity today. Yes, spreading
positivity. Starting now. Starting now. You are
right. Okay. Now. Are you just going to keep
delaying it? No, no, no, no. We're spreading
positivity over here. We're spreading nothing
but positivity. Rainbows and butterflies. Rainbows
and butterflies. You sure do love a rainbow,
don't you? Rainbows are really cool. They're
in the Bible. They're in the Bible. Way to pull
the Bible card. At their last episode, I mean,
I thought you were like more than just rainbows.
Especially with that iceberg. I don't recall
what you're talking about, actually. Now this
would be a good time to... Hey, you should definitely
go watch our last episode if you don't know what
we're talking about. You should definitely watch
our last episode because we put out a banger
episode last time. Exactly. An absolute banger.
Absolute banger. Alright. So, the very first
topic in this episode is... Dating in 2025. Dating
in 2025. Because the year, this year, is 2025.
It's not 2024. And it's not 2026. It's 2025.
So, I'm guessing you've been somewhat on the
dating scene, or you've just been keeping to
yourself? I mean, honestly, not recently. Like,
I've been single for a bit now. The last, I didn't...
I haven't not been single for like a year and
a half. I just be like living life, like doing
me and having fun. That's good. See me? It just
sucks in general. That's just me. You don't know
how to live single. I mean, you gotta have fun.
I do, but at the same time, though. Look, I'm
going to tell you how it's... If you're always
craving a girlfriend, you should change your
mentality and you should learn how to live single
because it is amazing. Well, that, but not only
that. I mean, I don't always crave a girlfriend.
I'm just saying. It's because I'm using my example.
It would be like, you know, how I'll just be
living life and then just randomly a girl comes
in that you somewhat connect with and then you're
just like... fuck, I don't want to catch feelings,
and then you end up catching feelings, and then
yadda yadda this, more bullshit happens, yadda
yadda this, yadda yadda that, and then it just
ends up not going good, and so then you just
continue living single, so, that's how it goes
for me, so. Okay, well, like I was saying, like,
I'm just over here being happy, and I'm happy
every single day, you know, regardless if I have
a girlfriend or don't have a girlfriend. You
know, I'd be spreading positivity, spreading
love. I got love for everyone, dog. And, I mean,
I do. I got love for everyone, bro. I'd be giving
my name. Dog, you're looking at me right now.
And I can't even think straight because you're
looking at me like I'm absolutely crazy. Hmm.
Hmm. I wonder why. Yeah, I wonder why. I'd just
be trying to put my thoughts together. And then
you over here looking at me like I just shot
someone or something. I don't know. After the
last episode, I have to take what you say with
a grain of salt now. I mean, not with a grain
of salt, but just to keep an eye on you. You
know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, we're getting
off topic. What do you think of dating in 2025
so far? Be more specific with the question. Okay.
What are you asking? Do you think... Okay, let's
just say... We were back in, well, I can't, well,
we just started dating. So, if I say, oh, let's
go back to 2015, 2015 was a much simpler time
of somewhat dating compared to 2025. 2015, I
was 12. Yeah, I know. That's why I can't. I wasn't
dating you at 12. I know you weren't. Were you
dating me at 12, my friend? No, I was not. Okay,
good. I do not encourage teenage dating. Like,
when you're a teenager, just be like, have fun
with your friends, bro. Like, throw the football,
like, play Madden. Don't worry about, like, having
a girlfriend. Like, you're way too young, dog.
At 12. Yeah, Landon was getting smoked when he
was playing Madden against me. Okay. I'm the
king of Madden. Okay, no, no. That is a complete
lie. No, no, no, no. You can't. I'm not going.
I have pictures. Were you getting decimated by
me? Towards, like, the last couple of times we
played, that was true. But, like, when we first
started playing, I would beat you, and then we
were pretty even. Like, we would both win at
times. But, like, towards the end, when we stopped
playing and stuff, that's when you beat me a
lot. Or maybe you got better at what I was doing.
Yeah, you might have got better, I guess. I am
better at playing. Yeah, I'm better. Well, okay,
now you're probably better, because I don't play
Madden anymore. Like, I don't play video games
like that anymore. I don't play Madden like that
anymore either. I mostly play other games, like
Call of Duty and shit. So, but, I feel like now
we get to an age, like, I'm going to say compared
to, like, even though we didn't live around this
time, like the 90s, okay? Where I feel like it
was a lot more simpler now, because back then
it was like, okay, let me take you out on a date.
No? Okay, cool. Now we're getting into this day
and age where there's a talking stage and all
this mumbo jumbo. And you learn many different
words of gaslighting, manipulation. Gaslighting
is my least favorite word. Like, what does it
even mean? It's such a made -up word. It can
be used for anything. Like, I can say, oh, look
at that person over there. And someone will say,
oh, bro, stop gaslighting. I'm like, what? That's
such a made -up word. People use it for everything,
basically. It dilutes the meaning. So the Google
definition, quote -unquote, is a type of physiological
abuse aimed at making victims feel crazy, creating
a surreal and interpersonal environment. But
people say, like, anything is gaslighting. That's
so stupid. They do. I do believe that. Like,
they'll get to the point where... Like, they'll
just be like, that butterfly is gaslighting me.
What do you mean the butterfly is gaslighting
you? The butterfly can't even fucking speak.
Language. Challenge your phone, bro. Bro, this
is an official podcast we're recording. And you're
over here with an unsilenced tone. Do you get
better? You're right. That's my fault. I should
have been better. Yeah. Yeah. So. yeah so compared
to like the 90s or whatever where dating wasn't
as hard like what do you think of 2025 dating
now i mean if we want to go like way back in
the 70s 80s 90s i didn't have facetime i mean
you didn't like snapchat or instagram or anything
like that i mean you had to literally call the
person on the landline telephone and Maybe they
didn't answer. Maybe their parents answered or
something because they were looking at home about
their parents or something. Or spend even more
time with them outside of whatever they were
doing. Go on many more dates, friends, things,
whatever y 'all want. I mean, this is a bigger
problem with social media in general. It made
things way more complicated. Also, it made people
more depressed. People are way more depressed
now. I think social media plays a huge part in
that. You know what I think did it, though? Tinder.
Tinder absolutely did it. No, it's Instagram.
No, I'm going to tell you why Tinder, though.
Because... And I'm a hypocrite. I just posted
it on Instagram. Yeah, but you're posting...
But Instagram... Okay, here's why I say Tinder.
Instagram's more for... Okay, you have family
and friends that follow you on Instagram. They're
going to check out what you've been doing recently.
That's... That's like a form of communication
with your family. People spend hours just scrolling
on Instagram, bro. Okay, I sat on the train a
couple days ago for like a 40 -minute train ride,
and I was staring at this girl like a couple
rows in front of me. She spent the whole 40 -minute
train ride scrolling through Instagram. Bro,
that's addictive. Instagram is very addictive,
and it's not good for your mental health. It's
not, but I'm going to tell you why tenderly,
okay? Because Tinder's gotten to the point where,
okay, let's just say you upload a profile picture,
okay? You have other people determining whether
you look good or not. And so that's going to
destroy your mentality even more. But, like,
Tinder doesn't tell you, like, how many people
swipe right on you, how many people swipe your
left on you. It doesn't say how many people rejected
you. Well, yeah, they don't tell you how many
people rejected you, but they do see how many
people liked you, though. You got to think, if
you had Tinder for like four months, okay, and
you get zero likes, you get zero likes and you're
just like, what the fuck, then that's going to
deteriorate your mental health because then it's
going to lead you into a spiral of, okay, am
I fucking ugly? Am I this? Am I that? It's just
going to keep going down the mental spiral. Well,
I don't encourage anyone to get Tinder under
any circumstances. I think it's a terrible way
to meet people. I really, me personally, I think
it's a terrible way to meet people. I mean, touch
grass. Touch grass. Seriously, touch grass. But
meet people in real life, not virtual. Or maybe
I'm just, like, super old school. But, I mean,
Dr. Love Landon, like, this dude calls me, bro.
Dr. Landon. Love Dr. Landon or something. Love
Dr. Landon, yeah. I mean, I'll tell anyone. delete
tinder like it's not the funny thing is like
you and cole are like the only two people that
are like evan don't get tender don't everyone
else be telling you get tinder oh yeah hinge
bumble tender but who because they they said
like hinge actually works though but i'm over
here it ain't working for me so fuck it so it
might as well download a tinder or whatever but
Yeah, y 'all two are like the only ones that
are like, Evan, don't download Tinder. Okay,
me and Cole need to get together. Like, bro,
we think so. Like, we could like really help
you. What was that for? See, look, you know what?
We're going to have a debate one day, okay? We're
going to have the holy side. Which is you and
Cole. The holy side? Okay, yeah. Holy, holy.
And then we're gonna have the whore side, which
is, like, my friend James and honey. Bro. I love
James to death, but... Yeah, we're gonna have
that debate on whether, what should I do? Should
I go and be a whore? Or should I... Stay stay
committed on the journey. I am on right now.
So well, it's like the two people in your shoulder
the devil and the angel Except there's two angels
and two devils exactly so But my opinion on dating
in 2025 like I said tender is the main reason
why I feel like they like it destroyed people's
mental health because then Like I say you don't
get any likes and it's turns into okay What the
fuck and then it also raised people's standards
too because then Like for example for guys you're
gonna look at these hot women and you're gonna
be like Okay. Yes. I want to have that that that
that that that I don't think it's necessarily
like just tender like I'm gonna bring up Instagram
again, but like really any form of it like Google
or snapchat anything like You pull up these things
on Snapchat and Instagram, on the home page of
Instagram or the For You page of Snapchat or
whatever, there's a bunch of, like, hot girls
with boobs and stuff. Like, and then Google,
you can literally search up porn. Like, anyone
can. It doesn't, like, no age requirement. I
mean, porn is so easily reachable in the search
of, like, hot girls or something. Whereas back
in the day, you couldn't have Google or whatever
search up porn. You had Playboy magazines. Yeah,
you had to search for a Playboy magazine somewhere
or something. But it's not as easy to access
as nowadays to look up hot women. Or just go
through Instagram looking at hot women. Yeah,
but I say it's more on the dating websites. Because
I think about it, I could not have Tinder or
whatever. And be on Instagram and be like, oh
my gosh, Libby Dunn? Okay, like, just keep on
scrolling. I'm really, I can't really. Yeah,
but that's also raising your standards. Yeah,
but it's not. Like the point you brought up,
raising your standards. But it's also, if you're
looking at a bunch of hot women, that's going
to raise your standards. And you're going to,
like, only, like, simp for hot women. But at
the same time. And you're going to look at, like,
a woman who's not, like, hot. you know, attractive,
not super hot, you're going to look at her like
ugly just because she's not 10 out of 10 Libby
Dunn. But at the same time, though, it also depends,
like, I feel like it also depends on the platform
you're on. If you are on a Tinder and you see
a Libby Dunn, then of course. Well, you're not
going to see Libby Dunn on Tinder. I know, but
I'm saying, I'm using Libby Dunn as an example,
okay? Okay. Give me a second. Yeah. Like, if
you see a Libby Dunn on Tinder, then you're going
to be like, oh, shit. And you're going to swipe
on all the Libby Dunn and whatever. And then
when you get to the mid chicks or whatever you
want to call them, lower level chicks and whatever
y 'all consider lower level, I don't really know.
Because then you're going to be like, oh no,
no, left, left, left, left. But at least with
Instagram, I can be like, okay, well, this is
Instagram. So I'm not going too crazy like I
would a Tinder. What do you mean? I don't understand.
Because Tinder's whole purpose is to get you
to meet people, date people, all that shit. Instagram,
think about it, I could delete every single chick
I follow on Instagram and just follow sports
all the time. And just, like, like, like, oh,
Cooper Flagg made a bucket? Like, like, like,
it depends on how you go about it. That's my
personal opinion on that. But, like, on Tinder,
like, I don't have much experience with Tinder.
I've actually downloaded it once. I just, not
even, like, looking for a date or anything. I
was just curious, like, the user interface, and
I was just curious about the app. So I downloaded
it, and it made a profile and all that. I mean,
I deleted it, but I was just curious, like, what
it was all about. Like, the thing with Tinder,
people put things on Tinder. When you make their
profile pictures, they put the best photos of
themselves on Tinder. So you're only seeing the
best of the best. On Tinder. Or, like, any of
these apps are, like, you're not seeing the,
like, not as good pictures that she has or whatever.
But at the same time, though, that also goes
back to raising the standards. Because now people
only search for the best. And so, let's just
say, for example, me. Because, you know, I had
a couple good pictures whenever I had Tinder.
So, I had a couple good pictures. So, I doubt
these pictures were that good. Well, this one
was one of them. The one that we took at the
polygon game? Trash picture, bro. You could just
be Aiden. What happened to positivity? Oh, yeah.
Okay. I do apologize, bro. I do apologize. Thank
you. This is a mental episode. Watch the negative
video. No, no. You're right. You're 100 % right.
I do apologize, bro. Thank you. I do apologize.
I appreciate that. But, yeah. I was posting good
pictures. Now I gotta take better pictures now.
I mean, now that I look at it. But I was posting
somewhat good pictures and then... It was like
not getting many likes, and I was like, okay.
People, like I said, people raise the standards
to the point where you have to have your best.
You have to have a suit and tie on when you're
on Tinder. I mean, I don't necessarily think
suit and tie. I think probably most guys would
probably show their muscles off or something
like that on Tinder. Whatever the woman prefers,
whether they want a country dude, city boy, workout
dude, whatever. It just really depends on what
the woman's looking for. See, but this is the
Internet in general, I feel like, especially
in the past 20 years with dating and stuff. Like,
before that, you didn't have anything like the
Internet, so you would have to meet people in
person, and you couldn't just see the best of
the best pictures of them online. Like, you would
actually meet them in person and see, like, how
she looks in everyday life, not just, like, the
one perfect angle. where she had super, like,
glamorous makeup on, you know, because angles
be messing with your brain. Yeah. Women, like,
know how to, like, make the right angle, you
know, maybe, like, twist their body trying to
get it just right or something. Yeah. All right.
So, we're going to the next topic. Dating potential,
or dating, why am I saying potential? Wait, dating
co -workers. Dating coworkers. So you have history
in doing this. Okay, yes, I do have history.
I've dated a coworker in the past, someone I've
worked with, and we were in a relationship. And
the thing is, I don't think it's like a super
bad thing. I mean, you have to be careful. You
really do. Because when you're dating a coworker,
you can't make the relationship at work to be
noticeable. You know, where you're, I guess,
if it's very noticeable, then your boss will
notice. And your boss can still be cool with
it, and it can still be a problem because you
can't let it affect your work or your work relationship.
You still have to have a work relationship if
you're working alongside that person. Even if
you're in a relationship, you still need to keep
that professional work relationship with that
person. See, my opinion is... It's not a bad
thing because let's just say you and another
co -worker start talking at home. And y 'all
get flirty or do whatever. And y 'all do stuff
outside. That should be... Bro, let me just bring
up something real quick. The flirting stage is
the most fun stage in a relationship. It really
do be. And flirting at work, that's hella fun.
It makes your job so fun. But... But like the
flirting stage like when you when you start doing
stuff outside, that's kind of win Okay, you can
dial down everything at work, but you can still
you can still Do your thing at work, but you
dial down a little dial it down a little bit
at work But still do stuff on the outside Because
I feel like dating a co -worker is not bad because
same time though. Yeah, I think you're right
next to him You've seen you're gonna see when
they're mad sad angry, whatever you're gonna
know how they act like most of time You're not
going to see them be thick. You're going to see
their true emotions. Because not only that, depending
on the circumstances that you get put in at your
job will determine how you react and then how
they look at you. That's my first opinion. Usually
in the beginning stages of a relationship, like
women have the tendency to, you know, put on...
I don't want to say be fake, but putting a face
around the guy that they're, you know, talking
to. They don't want to look mad or sad. They
want to, like, be, like, happy all the time around
the girl, around the guy that they're talking
to. You know, being flirty. But as the relationship
moves on, the past, the first couple months,
then, like, the real side's going to come out.
You know, they call it the honeymoon phase. Yeah.
You know, the first couple months, it's going
to... be different. The mentality of the relationships
can be different than the honeymoon phase. Once
you get past the honeymoon phase, then you can
see really what the girl is really like. Yeah.
And so, my personal, like, I'm all for dating
a co -worker. I tell Landon all my personal business
with all that. He doesn't tell all of it, but...
I mean, I told you the latest one I told you.
Yeah. The latest one pissed me off, but I mean,
at the end of the day, could I be a douchebag
at the end of the day? I could, but that's just
not who I am. I still love and support this person,
and I'm glad they can do whatever they want to
do. And so I have no hard feelings for them,
but I mean, I'm still going to be me at the end
of the day. So that's all I can really do. I
will say this. Looking for love at work can be
very convenient because you're there every day
or I guess five days a week or however many days
you work with the other person. And you see each
other a lot. And it's convenient, right? The
convenience factor. Versus outside of work, it
can be harder. to, I guess, find a potential
partner. And it just works out that way with
that convenience factor. It just makes everything
a lot easier. And I'm not saying that that's
the number one fact why people hook up in a relationship
at work, but it definitely is a factor. You know,
the whole saying of like, oh, we're just work
friends. You know, usually people are more than
just work friends. I fucking hate that shit.
See? And then I hate when people get so involved
in their work. I mean, nothing's wrong with getting
involved in your work. If you're trying to be
there full -time, okay, yeah, I understand that.
You're actually doing a job. You're taking it
seriously. That's understandable. For example,
you're going to graduate with an engineering
degree, right? Mm -hmm. Shout out LSU engineering.
So when you go into your engineering degree...
And you're like, oh, okay, I'm actually taking
this seriously, you know, treating it like I
actually want to learn everything, make much
money. That's cool. But I'm going to say you
have friends like at work, okay? That doesn't
mean you're going to stop like hanging out with
them outside of work, is it? No. Because at the
end of the day, if that person, if you really
made a connection with the person, then you shouldn't
stop hanging out with them, in my opinion. That's
just my personal opinion, because if you enjoy
that person's company, and that person makes
you happy, then why are you doing that? That's
confusing to me. Lena's just seeing me throw
hands around. I don't really understand what
you're talking about. You said, like, work friends
should hang out outside of work. The point I
brought up was, like, the whole thing of work
friends. You know, you go and hang out with a
girl at work, and you're just work friends, you
know. And it's really convenient. It's easy to
meet people at work and meet potential relationship
partners at work. But hanging out outside of
work, you know, you might be busy. You both have
different schedules, so you just hang out at
work. But what were you saying, like, hanging
out at work, you have to or something? Well,
I'm saying, like, let's just say, okay, I'm dedicated
towards my job. Let's just say me and you are
already friends, okay? Yeah. Or, no, let's just
say me and this chick, okay? Me and this random
ass chick. Yeah, because it's a relationship.
We work in the same job, okay? Yeah. We, you
know, we become close. We talk, we flirt, we
do whatever, okay? And then it goes from, okay,
I want to be friends. okay yeah that's cool we
were already friends to hey i want to be co -workers
i want to focus on my job what what do you mean
by that because at the end of the day i feel
like that hurts that's going to hurt me more
than anything because at the same time though
we already built an emotional connection like
we've already done stuff outside of work we've
done all that and you just want to just tear
it down apart that's the dumb that's the dumb
Shit to me. I mean you probably look at it a
different angle being like okay. Well But that's
just dumb because we've already built an emotional
connection. So why? Continue to tear it down
even more and more and more because I was already
cool being friends. Yeah So then why continue?
Okay, why go back to being co -workers? Hey,
bro, you're just airing out all your personal
grievances right now, aren't you? No. Oh, that's
just like in general because Okay, when a woman
says she just wants to be friends, she doesn't
mean she wants to be friends. She means get out
of my life. Like, as someone who's been in relationships
before, and I mean, I just, from things I know,
just like, when females tell you when they're
ready to end the relationship, I just want to
be friends. Like, they don't want to be friends
with you. They probably don't want to see you
again. They're just trying to say something nice.
Because females just like to be nice. They like
to sugarcoat things. But see, here's the thing,
though, for me. I'm a straight shooter at this
point. Fuck everything. So I'm at the point where,
like, even if it's women outside of work, tell
me the fucking truth. Because at the end of the
day, I should say, me and this chick are friends,
okay? And you aren't ready for a relationship,
okay? Hey, Evan, I'm not ready for it. Or, hey,
Evan, I'm seeing another guy. Okay, cool. Tell
me that. So that way, you know what I'm going
to do? Move the fuck on. That's just how I'm
looking at it because you're wasting my time
giving you my attention because you want to dance
around the point. No, just tell me straightforward
and I'll move on. That's just with anything.
Like I was saying, women like to sugarcoat things.
They like to sprinkle it all. fairy dust and
with whatever they're saying when they say they
want to be friends they don't want to be friends
at all they want to not know you anymore you
know when they say something okay don't like
actually take it how they're saying it okay that's
probably the worst thing you can do is take some
a woman at her word because it doesn't work like
that well well to any future women that i should
try to go after be honest and upfront that's
that's all i ask we're just just Layden has seen
me do the prayer hands right now. Just be upfront
and honest with me. My boy's going through some
struggles right now. No, it's not even that.
It's just like, even with all the women that
I've gone after, every single one has kind of
sugar -coated and danced around the point. That's
what I'd be saying. That's what girls do. You
can't expect a girl to not do that. It looks
like impossible. You're right, but they got something
that also wants to be that also likes to be straight
shooters It's very rare, but good luck finding
that person good luck with that one dog. I know
but I'm just saying Just tell just tell me the
truth. That's all I want because at the end of
the day I'm not gonna sit here and wait for you
because I mean Let's just say means chicken at
it Me and this chick are talking. I'm not ready
for a relationship. Okay, cool. Let's be friends.
Okay, cool. And I treat you like a friend, and
then you just go down the list more. Then why
am I wasting my time with you? That's not trying
to be mean or anything, but it's just, okay,
you don't want to be friends anymore. You don't
want to do this. You don't want to do that. So
then why are you dragging me through the struggle?
along with whatever you don't know what you want
to do. That's my point with that type of shit.
So that's why I'm just saying that to women in
general. Just tell the truth. Because just tell
the truth and just be honest up front. Because
then you're going to get respect from me more
at the end of the day. And if you don't want
me in your life, okay, that's cool. But because
at the end of the day, here's how I look at it.
If that person really enjoyed their time with
me, they're going to end up coming back. If they
didn't, then oh well. Okay. I'm going to kind
of move on from this subject right now. I know
we kind of talked about the dating world a little
bit, but I kind of want to move on and say, as
men, I don't think we should be so focused on
dating. so focused on women like if your thoughts
or when you're single like oh i need a girlfriend
i need to talk to chicks i need a girlfriend
like slow down hold on okay think about yourself
for a minute bro let's work on yourself you know
get your mental health right get yourself right
get your body right get your spiritual right
you know do all of this so i mean my advice to
people like that you know focus on yourself you
know you have so much to live as a person you
know if you don't enjoy being single then you're
not gonna enjoy being in a relationship because
you need to be happy being by yourself before
you can be happy being in a relationship so so
i mean things you can do like um get a hobby
get a hobby right make that money or make that
money right maybe stay on that grind you know
so the next the next topic was uh how most single
men should get through depression when getting
through loneliness so that bring that just practically
hit the nail on the head with that one yeah i
mean focusing yourself right if you can't be
happy by yourself you can't be happy with someone
else so yeah get a hobby you know play an instrument
if if you enjoy playing instruments and playing
music like go for it you know that's really fun
you know if you enjoy enjoy art you know maybe
take up painting or drawing or maybe you enjoy
writing you know take up writing do something
to take up your time to not solely focus on females
because that will lead you down a path of depression
and loneliness and i don't want that for anyone
come on now And then think about what I just
said, okay? If you are a social person and you
do talk to women, but you're just still in that
single stage, like I said, if they really enjoy
the time with you, they're going to come to you.
But until then, like Lane said, go get a hobby.
Go play an instrument. Go make that money. Go
make that money. Get your spiritual life right,
bro. Get your relationship right with God. You
know, find that spiritual happiness. You know
what I mean? Work on that physical fitness, you
know? Exercise is the number one form of, I guess,
mental health, what helps you with mental health.
You know, exercise helps you a lot with that.
So do some cardio. Do some weightlifting, you
know? Get your body looking like... Arnold Schwarzenegger,
baby. Well, you don't have to go that overboard.
I mean, that's a little much, I think. I think
that's a little much. That's a bit of a word,
but I just wanted to say a funny example. No.
Yeah. I'll be back. All right. Go look like Channing
Tatum, bro. Go look like Channing Tatum. Put
Channing Tatum on your mirror and look at Channing
Tatum every morning and aspire to be that. Look
at his abs and be like. I need to be that. You
should have said, like, Mark Wahlberg or something.
Channing Tatum has a better body, I think. Yeah,
but Mark Wahlberg gets up at, like, 3 o 'clock
in the morning. He does, like, three workouts
a day. So... Ah, bro. I mean, if that... If you
want to be a psycho, then be Mark Wahlberg. I
mean, that's a bit much. I think one is fine,
but that's just me. Yeah, if you want to be a
psycho, be Mark Wahlberg. So... But, yeah, just
go ahead, make your money. And just live life.
Yeah, go live life, bro. You got to think about
it. Back in September, I wasn't even talking
to anybody. September, October, I wasn't talking
to anybody. And what did I do? I went to go see
Jelly Roll in Lafayette. I took two hours by
myself to go sit in the cage and go listening
to Jelly Roll. Yeah. I mean, like I was saying,
you have to be happy living by yourself. And
if you achieve that, then you're going to be
happy. For your whole life no matter if you're
by yourself or with a partner See you just can't
let the lonely loneliness thoughts get to your
head because then you also got to think When
you are in a relationship You got to think everything's
50 -50 It takes two people to carry the couch
instead of one shout out to Chris Rock for that
fucking quote. So language Yeah, hey that was
a very positive of you i was not very positive
about you were in my bed bro yeah i'm sorry so
but yeah it takes two people to carry the couch
instead instead of just one so that's when that's
why both both women and women gotta want the
relationship if one person wants a relationship
then you might as well just leave it alone if
because at the same time you're gonna be carrying
100 of the couch she ain't gonna be carrying
nothing yeah and i mean If you're in a relationship
and you're requiring a woman to make you happy,
that's never going to happen, dog. You need to
focus on how to make yourself happy. You know,
you shouldn't be requiring the other person to
look after your happiness. That's a method to
fail a relationship right there. So I'm going
to give an example of what I thought made me
happy. So then I'm going to give. an explanation
at the end of this amazing story that my buddy
told me a couple days ago that i was like that's
a solid point so uh me and this chick i actually
did used to work with this chick but we didn't
start hanging out until after she left so when
she stopped working at my job we ended up hanging
out a lot more we ended up going to bars we ended
up getting drunk we we did a bunch of together
so it developed into all that then it involved
me coming to go and see her more all this amazing
stuff and then one day you know she we got into
a heated argument it was it was something dumb
so then i was looking because in those situations
i was looking at myself like i was the problem
granted do do we do stuff in certain For certain
situations, do we do stuff that's wrong? Absolutely.
That's why we gotta take our licks for stuff.
But she had me thinking, oh, I was doing everything
wrong. Okay. And that's when I had to look at
myself in a different light and be, okay, I did
not do anything wrong. But there will be times
where I will admit if I did anything wrong. And
so... My buddy Kel, shout out to my friend Kel,
told me the other day, he was like, Evan, if
you know what you like about this woman, like
let's just say she got a nice ass, okay? She
got a nice ass. That's not really love because...
That's facts right there. That's facts. Because
you just love her for her body. That's facts.
Love is something that you don't know what you
like about them. Oh, dang. That's deep, bro.
Bro. Shout out, dog. That's good. That's good.
And when he told me that, I was like, damn. Damn.
I was speechless because I told him, I was like,
man, you're fucking right. I'm like, shit. Damn,
girl. I was not expecting that. Yeah, that's
good right there. So, always keep that in your
head. if you genuinely like a woman, and if you
know what you like about them, this can go for
women too, for guys. It can go vice versa. If
you know what you like about them, then it's
not really love. So that's my advice. So if you,
let's say you do, you are single and you're in
a lonely state and you're living life and you
do run up on this girl that... you talk to and
all this shit and you find something about it
and that's where it's not really love. If your
only thing you like about women is physical,
then that's not love. You know, love is way more
than physical. Then you're just ready to be a
hoe at that point. Yeah, basically. I mean, if
you just want to go through women, then go ahead.
But, I mean, if you're actually looking for a
relationship, like, it shouldn't be just because
you like your body. Like, nah, cut that out.
Alright. So, I'm going to skip. No, actually,
no. Professional advice for young men 21 to 22.
So, around our age range. So, I mean, we kind
of just hit that nail on the head, didn't we?
Yeah, I think I kind of talked about that, you
know. Find a way to be happy about yourself,
you know. Work on yourself. Find self -love.
Self -love is so important. How both women and
men need to be better in a relationship overall.
I can answer this one real quick. Oh, geez. Go
ahead. Be accountable. Both women and women need
to be accountable. That's all I got to say. If
y 'all both aren't accountable, then what are
y 'all doing? I think the point I brought up
earlier, you know, you need to focus on making
yourself happy. You can't feel the need for the
other person in the relationship to make you
happy because that's not going to work long term.
you need to have your own happiness that you
have for yourself. The other person is just there
for, you know, not happiness, but just there
for companionship. It's different. Yeah, but
I do believe, though, that accountability is
a big thing when it comes to that. Accountability,
truthfulness, like the minute you start lying
or don't share your true feelings, That's when
the relationship went downhill, and there's no
saving grace for that. Because my personal vendetta,
like every time I do talk to a woman, when they
self -destruct themselves, that... I hate that.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Because
then at the same time, though, just express your
emotions. Don't try to hide them or destroy them.
Because then when you do that, and then you go
do other stuff with that person, you're just
going to catch them again. So don't self -destruct
your feelings. Yeah, bro, like, you got to share,
you got to be completely open and honest, share
your true feelings, your true thoughts. The minute
someone, you know, doesn't do that in a relationship,
that's when it's going way downhill. And that's
just my experience, like, talking to different
women over the years of my, ever since I was
18, started trying to date. So that's my view
of that from 18 to now. Okay. So, this one's
kind of, like, weird, because I did come up with
this on the fly. Okay. Because Lana was in here,
we were in here, and I just came up with these
two last points on the fly. Yeah. How should
people react when other people talk about them,
or drama comes into effect? I mean, okay, how
should people react when other people gossip
about them, basically? You know, I mean, gossip...
Okay, if we take men and women and separate those
two categories, which category is more prone
to gossip? I'd probably say it's leaning towards
the women. I'm not sexist or anything, you know,
but that's just the way life is. Women are way
more prone to gossip. And you would agree, right?
Yeah, I agree with Landon on that. Yeah, exactly.
Not sexist either. this is probably a question
you know that women are mostly well it's not
even that it's like what do you do let's just
say you're involved with drama okay and you hear
other people be like hey like let's say i came
up to you as a good friend hey man i heard that
you slept with such and such or hey man i heard
i heard you you like to i heard you like to skydive
What? Okay. Well, I'm trying to think of, like...
But that's actually, like, a good thing, you
know? People, hey, my friend skydived, and, like,
people would spread it. I know, but it's not,
like, trashing someone's character. I'm not trashing
any skydivers or anything. I'm being like, hey,
okay, you know what? I got a better one. Hey,
I heard that you were a big douchebag. Like,
everyone's been going around saying, like, you're
a big douchebag. So... I mean, spreading rumors
like that, that's very... immature it's childish
that's like some high school shit right there
if like college age people or even like people
in their late 20s 30s are doing that that's really
childish of them i mean grow up honestly like
get a life see my opinion is okay why why does
it matter what other people think in my in my
opinion at the end of the day i want you to come
up to me and determine if i'm a douchebag or
not Yeah, yeah. Because that way you can see
for yourself, proves the rumors are false, and
then gives you a better insight on me. Okay,
so that's kind of how I've been living my life
the past couple years, how I stay so happy all
the time. I don't worry about how other people
think about me. Like, I really stop caring. I
don't care anymore. I mean, that's not to say,
like, I want to get, like, super fat and obese
because I don't care what people think about
me. I mean, I'm not saying that, but I've stopped
worrying about how people look at me every single
day. You know, I don't care what the person walking
down the street thinks of me. You know, they're
just a random person. And people don't care about
you as much as they think, as much as you think
they do. Like, you might think people, you know,
are doing shit for your best interest. but in
reality or you might think people like sitting
next to you in the restaurant you know and you're
wearing a weird shirt you might think oh my gosh
i'm wearing such a weird shirt they're gonna
think i'm so weird like they don't care about
you they don't care how you think they're just
going about their day and so why why put so much
focus on how other people think of you when you're
the only one that's gonna make you happy you
literally hit my point on the head and i hate
you for it because i was gonna say why are you
letting other people determine your happiness
yeah because why are you letting other people
determine your happiness because if it makes
you happy at the end of the day why does it even
matter if i like to if i like to play with uh
what is it slime okay if i like to play with
slime Why would I give a shit if anyone's talking
shit about me? I like playing with slime. Yeah.
So what's the even point in that? I mean, if,
and if you're, that's another thing like getting
your happiness from other people, you know, get
your happiness from yourself because then no
one else can take your happiness away if it comes
from yourself. If you're getting your happiness
from someone else, then they can just take it
away the minute they want to. But if you're getting
your happiness from yourself, they can't take
it away. Yeah, because if I'm playing Xbox and
Landon tells me, oh man, why are you playing
Xbox? Xbox is for trash people. They don't know
how to play video games. Why do I give a shit
what Landon says? As long as I like playing my
Xbox. That's all that matters. So, that goes
with anything. Just with anything in general.
If you like making money, oh man, why are you...
Because you're going to have a lot more haters
than you will friends. So, why let them get to
you? If you... But also, I'm going to also say
this. If you have some people supporting you,
don't turn on them for supporting you. If they
tell you something that you don't want to hear,
you've got to be able to... Except constructive
criticism and be able to take stuff on the chin.
You got to hold yourself to a higher standard
than all of that. You know what I'm saying? No,
I feel like that was kind of off topic. What
are you talking about? Oh, no. So, look. I said
you're going to have more haters than anything.
Okay. That goes completely against my thing I
talked about, which people weren't. worried about
you like they you think they are you you're right
but i'm just saying like no it's not going against
your point because at the same time though look
you're gonna have more haters than anything but
at the same time though you got to be more open
to yourself about like constructive criticism
from people close to you it's like think about
this okay let's say a random ass person's hating
on you okay you don't care about that random
ass person okay no you shouldn't care exactly
but let's say i come to you and i'd be like look
nana me We need to have a talk. I feel like you
gotta be open and constructive, Chris, because
if I come to you and be like, look, Landon, I
don't really like the editing you've been doing
on the podcast. I feel like you could be a lot
better. You're... You can make this editing a
lot better. You can make editing great again.
Make editing great again. But if you start getting
pissy being like, what do you mean? I'm editing
the best I can. Then... you're going to turn
to people that support you away from you so like
keep them close but be able to be able to hear
constructive criticism you know what i'm saying
okay yeah and i'll say this like that goes with
something i'm strongly support and i'll give
this advice to anyone is try to remove your own
ego you know and that can be such a hard thing
is to remove your ego But you really do. You've
got to remove as much ego as you can. And that's
something I struggle with every day. I feel like
I'm pretty good at it, and I've been working
at it for a while. And there's times I've been
mad at people in my head, like, oh, they did
this wrong, or oh, this isn't how I wanted it.
But removing your own ego gets away those expectations.
So let's say someone comes at you with constructive
criticism. Like, oh, you didn't cook this exactly
right. Like, I think you should, you know, put
this on the grill for like maybe two minutes
longer and then season it or whatever. And don't
have the ego up like, oh, they can't tell me
what to do. I know what I'm doing. You know,
you're stupid. No, I know. No, remove that ego.
Except, oh, okay, thank you for talking to me.
And thank you for giving me that advice about
how to cook. burger spreader or whatever you
know take people's advice you're not too good
to take people's advice because also at the end
of the day you can take their advice or you can
even not like disregard their advice but with
that you're they're just trying to help you out
so they still gotta show kindness you know thank
them for the advice oh oh cool bro thanks it
depends on how you look at it if you think that
they're attacking you then Get your ego out of
it, then. You can't view people who give you
advice as attacking you for how you do something.
Like, you can't do that. Yeah, so that's why...
And even if they said it in a mean way, you just
gotta, like, pretend like they said it in a nice
way. Oh, no, if they say it in a mean way, oh,
shit, I'm checking them back. That's just mean,
though, because I reciprocate energy that is
given to me. Like, for example, you know how
me and you just shit -talk each other, right?
Yeah. That's because we reciprocated back. I
should talk to you, you should talk to me. Yeah,
but we know we're just messing around. Yeah,
we know we're having... No, but I'm just saying,
like, let's just say I give you a smart -ass
attitude, okay? You're going to say something
smart back. That's reciprocated energy. If I
go up to a random person and be like, hey, how
you doing? And then they'd be like, oh, you're
a hoe. That's such a weird, random thing for
someone to say. Then I'm going to be like, okay.
Well, you're a piece of shit. I'm not going to
talk to you. If you don't have anything to say,
don't say something. Oh, no, I'm saying it. I'm
saying it. No, my friend, listen to the old advice.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't
say anything at all. I'm saying it because at
the same time, though, if I'm starting out, if
I'm coming out nice and you just, now see, I've
gotten better at, okay, maybe this person had
a bad day, you know. Yeah, people are going through
stuff, and you don't know what they're going
through walking down the street. Yeah, so that's
kind of why I've gotten better at it. But if
I've known you, let's just say me and Lana talk
about it, and Lana just starts being a real douchebag,
and I'm just like, okay, well, F you, Lana. Maybe
I had a bad day. What do you mean? Maybe I was
going to do something. You would be like, look,
man. But here's the thing, though. We got to
the point where you'd be like, like me and you
would be like, look, man. I'm going through something
right now. Just dial it back, okay? Yeah. Like,
that's how we would operate. But I'm talking
about just as in anyone in general. So, that's
how I'm looking at it. So, how you should control
your own feelings and happiness. Oh, yeah. Because,
like, you know, I kept saying throughout the
podcast, like, you know, you need to... having
your own happiness, but now we're going to delve
into like how you can do it, you know, the steps
you can take to go through that journey. So,
like we said before, you shouldn't let other
people dictate it. That's absolutely number one.
If it just makes you happy, that's all that matters.
If the world didn't give you happiness, then
the world can't take it away. You know, you gave
yourself happiness. The word can't take it away
if you give yourself the happiness. Ooh, that
was a good quote. I ain't gonna lie. That was
a good quote, Lane. But... I got it from my pastor.
Good job. So, yeah, that's... But I do believe,
though, it also depends on, like, what you do
and how you do things. Because if you just start...
Now, if you just get a ride out of being a dick
to people, then... I guess such happiness? No,
that's not real happiness. That's not real happiness,
but... You may think that makes you happy, but
that's not real happiness. It's not real happiness,
but if you get a thrive out of it, I mean, do
what makes you happy, I guess? No, no, I'm not
going to say that. Like, if you think you get
a kick out of, like... I was going to say shooting
up schools, but that's a terrible example. That
was dark as shit. I know, that was so dark. Wow.
First you're talking about for the kids, and
now you're talking about that? No, no, for the
kids. If you get a rise out of hurling insults
at people, that's not actually making you happy.
At the end of the day, that's actually not. It's
not. You may think that gives you pleasure. Like,
pleasure is different than happiness. That gives
you short -term happiness. Short -term pleasure,
yeah. That'll give you no long -term pleasure.
Nah. You're looking for that long -term joy.
That's what you need. You don't need that short
-term little happiness. But at the same time,
though, you gotta work towards that long -term
happiness. You gotta work towards long -term
joy. Yeah, you really do. Because at the end
of the day, when, let's just say, all that short
-term happiness ends, and you're left in the
dirt, You're gonna be like, well, what the heck?
Why am I not happy? Why am I not this? Well,
you should have been building up to the long
-term happiness while at the same time going
for the short -term happiness. Okay, I feel like
to break it down, let's separate, like, let's
say short -term happiness, let's just call that
happiness, and let's call long -term happiness
joy. Because it's easier to say than, like, long
-term, short -term. It's like... You're exactly
right. You need to work towards the joy, the
long -term joy that's going to stick with you.
If you're just striving for that happiness, that's
going to be a little high. If you take crack
or cocaine, the little high you get. If you smoke
weed, the little high that it gives you. While
you're looking for the long -term joy, you're
not going to find that by doing just little things
that give you pleasure. I must say this, too.
You've got to find a mix of both because at the
same time, though, if you go, let's just say,
if you just do long -term happiness, you're not
going to have any bits of short -term happiness.
Because you've got to think about this, okay?
You need enough fuel for the road to get to your
destination, okay? You've got to fill up at some
point to... make sure you get to that point so
you still want to keep some of your short -term
happiness but you at the same time though you
you still want to get to your point that's how
i'm looking at it okay i'll take your analogy
like the you know driving down the road on the
journey you have to have enough fuel to get to
the final destination i'll take your analogy
and i'll throw this at it so if you have that
long -term joy That fuel does not run out. There's
no like only you're only going to fill up 300
miles. No, it's infinity. It doesn't run out.
Whereas you have to stop along the way to fill
up on the short -term happiness. Maybe 50 miles
one stop and then the next stop another 50 miles
worth of gas. Well, I'm not saying it as in the
aspect of you're not going to get to your long
-term goal. I'm saying you got to have a bit
of short -term because at the same time though.
If you get to your long -term goal or joy, whatever
you want to call it, and you're not happy because
the route you've taken to get to this long -term
joy or long -term happiness, you've been depressed
or whatever, then you're not going to enjoy it
as much as someone that's had a little bit of
the short -term happiness while also getting
to the long -term happiness. I think we're thinking
of it in two different ways. You're thinking
about the final destination being the long -term
happiness. But I'm saying you have two buckets
when you fill up. The one is the short -term
happiness. The other is the long -term joy. You
can either choose to fill up on the long -term
joy, and it's like infinity gas, or you can choose
to fill up on the short -term happiness, and
it's like... 50 miles worth of gas, but then
you got to fill up another stop 50 miles worth
of gas and fill up with another stop and so on.
If you just look for that shared term happiness,
then you're going to need to get that high every
so often, that gas every so often, keep on going
through the journey of life. Well, if you fill
up on that long -term joy, then you're going
to be completely satisfied on that whole journey
destination that you're going through life in.
You don't have to feel every so often trying
to stop and get gas, trying to stop and find
that short -term happiness, the pleasure. You're
already riding happy, you know? You're riding
through life just happy. Got the long -term joy
in you. That's what I'm saying, if that makes
sense. Let me ask you another question, though.
Yeah. So what do you do when that long -term
happiness ends now? See, when you get that joy,
it doesn't end. Short -term happiness... That
little pleasure, that ends. Joy does not end.
Okay, so I'm going to give you an example, okay?
Give you more of an example. Let's just say I
want to move to Japan, okay? And I'm working
hard to get to Japan. Like, save enough money
to get to Japan. I get to Japan. Okay, I'm super
duper happy at first. I'm living good. I'm eating
sushi every day. Yeah. I'm loving Japan. Shout
out to sushi. Sushi's good. But then let's just
say a year goes by. And I'm back in the regular
state of mind. So where do I go from there? Because
the long -term goal was to get to Japan, and
now that I'm already in Japan, so you obviously
got to set up another long -term goal, right?
Yeah, see, that kind of goes back to my other
point of you got to make yourself happy. You
can't challenge the world to make you happy.
So your goal was to get to Japan, and you thought
that was going to make you happy. That's a worldly
goal. You need to find the internal happiness.
So it doesn't rely on goals or it doesn't rely
on other things that you need to achieve to make
you happy. You need to find the happiness inside
of you. So let's say you get to Japan and you
think, okay, I'm going to be happy the rest of
my life now that I'm living in Japan. You know,
you're always, you did that. And now your brain's
like, okay, now what? What's next? I got to Japan,
now what do I do? And so your brain's kind of
in this limbo, like, okay, what do I do? I have
no goal. And you're always searching for that
next goal. And that's another mindset that you
can't live like that because you're always going
to be searching for that next goal. I think that's
not actually that joy, the long -term happiness.
That's another version of the short -term happiness
is the goal setting. But I do agree with you
on that because at the end of the day, you still
got to find another goal at the end of the day.
Yeah. If you're mind just goal setting, once
you reach that goal, you're like, okay, now what?
Like you can't just be always on the grind of
like, oh, I have to reach this goal and then
reach this goal. Or, oh, when I get an eight
pack, when I get a six pack, I'm going to be
happy. Okay, when I get a 12 pack, I'm going
to be happy. So, we are back. I had to use the
bathroom. You don't need to say that. This is
seamless. It didn't... Well, it's going to...
Okay, well, then finish your point then, Landon.
I don't remember exactly what I was saying. Exactly.
So, I rest my case. Oh, my gosh. I'm letting
the viewers know why you just randomly stopped
talking. Well, we had to pause because I had
to go use the bathroom because, yeah, I had to
go. Well, you could have made it sound more professional,
like, oh, I had to go to a business meeting.
I was meeting with someone very important. I
had to go meet the president. You know, me and
Trump, you know, have to meet sometimes. And
we just talk about, you know, how I should, how
I think he should be running the country, you
know? How I think he should be running the country.
Yeah. And, like, Trump writes down ideas. And
so, hey, Lennon, thank you for the ideas. I'm
going to take that into consideration. Okay.
So, let's finish this off. So. Overall, how would
you grade today's mental health episode on a
scale of 1 to 10? How would I grade the episode?
Like, grade it in what way? Well, like, as in
getting our messages out to our viewers and making
sure that they understand clear messages. I don't
know, maybe like an 8? What do you think? I feel
like an 8, too. We did a good job of letting
them know. certain messages okay yeah i feel
like we can both kind of ramble sometimes but
i don't know maybe eight we we did ramble but
i feel like and and though we both got messages
out okay what to do when you're you're single
and you're looking for women and how what it's
like dating in 2025 then not only that uh the
dating with co -workers Getting through depression,
professional advice, practically hit all the
points on the head. And I do want to say this.
If any listeners want to reach out for us for
any reason, maybe talk about some ideas for the
pod or reach out, whatever you're going through,
reach out to us at extraspicypod at gmail .com.
It's in the description of the podcast. You can
find the email. I mean, I'd love to read some
of our viewers' emails. That'd be really cool.
Yeah, I would love to read an email. I want someone
just to email us. Yeah, if you're listening to
this, email. Just, like, say what's up. Say hey.
Look, you can make up a random email and then
come just messaging us on that email. And we're
still going to read it. Unless you don't want
us to read it, then we're going to privately
read it. It's weird. consent so but at the end
of the day though yeah I was talking to Landon
about this if because now we're starting to get
to a point where okay we found a location to
film now yeah we found a steady location we're
going to stick with and that works out well for
us so this is going to be like the 8th time I've
talked about cameras but You probably talk about
cameras every single episode we've done so far.
Because we keep pushing it back. We're like,
you know what? We're going to get cameras next
episode. You don't offer any help in looking
for editing software or whatever. China. I'm
sorry. You're the editor. I'm sorry. But. You
do an amazing job, though. Oh, thank you. Thank
you. So that's why I appreciate you. I've got
to get you a little gift basket or something.
A gift basket? Exactly. Don't give me a Pelican's
gift basket. I'll give you a Pelican's gift basket.
Bruh. I'll give you a Pelican's shot glass. I
also told Aidan this. We will have cameras because
we have agreed on the location. Okay, at this
point, stop saying you're doing the podcast because
you're just, like, teasing people with the cameras.
I really am. Let's talk about it outside the
podcast because you'll just, like, tease people
with the cameras. Well, we have a whole entire
week to get it going, okay? Because we both agreed
on location and everything, so we have a whole
entire week to figure that out. But I've also
told Aiden this. If you would like to get on
the podcast, this is for open viewers. If you
would like to get on the podcast, you can either,
if you know me or Landon, you can either, A,
text me or Landon, Snapchat, Venmo, not Venmo,
Venmo. I mean, if you want to send money. I mean,
if you want to send money, I mean, it could go
into our podcast. I mean, I'm not going to shy
away from money. But, yeah, if you want to get
on an episode of the podcast, just text me or
Landon or email the... extraspicypod at gmail
.com we're gonna try our best in the next couple
episodes to start having guests on I know that's
something we talked about in the pod but in the
past is having guests on but that is something
we're gonna try to work on and in the next future
couple episodes we're gonna you know try our
best to have guests on because then Depending
on also how this audio works, we're also going
to go back to the microphone method, so then
we would also have to change our whole setup
with that. Well, in the future, I think we would
also like to actually get real microphones. Yeah.
So the audio quality would be even better. A
lot better. I mean, we're slowly working on improvements
here. Very slowly. But, yeah. But back to what
I was saying, if you have any ideas that y 'all
would want us to talk about, because, I mean,
you can give my little brain a little bit of
a rest, if you know what I'm saying. So if you
do want us to talk about a certain topic, email
us, text me, text Landon. You can post a comment
under Spotify. I didn't know you could do that
on Spotify. I don't think you do that on Apple
Music or Apple Podcasts. Because that's what
I use. I use Apple Podcasts. On Spotify, you
can do it. So if you have Spotify, you can. I
want to know how to check that then. Or if it
just like goes. It just says be the first to
leave a comment. So we got no one. I know, but
even if people do that, I don't know. Would it
send it to my email or would it? It'd just be
on the, like, it's like a YouTube comment thing.
Like I can read their comment. Oh, yeah, I see.
So, yeah, if you. Well, you need to check that
because I don't have Spotify. I'll check on all
the comments on Spotify. But, yeah, if you do
want us to talk about a certain topic, let's
just say women are listening to our podcast and
they want us to talk about women advice. We'll
try our best to dig into the minds of women and
come out with advice for women. See, you're looking
at me like you think I'm going to say something
crazy. I just know you are. I can't guarantee
anything that we talk about will make you happy,
but we will do our best, depending on the topic
of what we talk about. If you tell us, hey, make
a robot, then we're going to try to make a robot.
Then we'll make birds, because birds are robots.
We'll make a bird for you. No. No. We're going
to capture a bird. You're the one that says you
want to shoot birds and stuff. Like, go ahead.
Capture a bird. Yeah, but here's the thing, though.
When you shoot a bird, the bullet goes through
them, and then the blood comes out of them. So,
you know, when have you ever seen a robot that
just bleeds? Technology is really good, my friend.
Okay. Pull me up something where a robot can
bleed. A robot can bleed? Yes. Because you said
birds are robots. And so... Birds are not real.
You're trying to get me on this again. Just like
how dinosaurs are real to you? Dinosaurs, yeah,
they're real. Birds are fake, dinosaurs are real.
Yeah, think about how that sounds. Yes, birds
are fake and dinosaurs are real. End of story.
End of discussion. I've already covered that
in past episodes. Shout out. to our viewers if
you've listened to the past episodes and if you
haven't take a listen to my wonderful theories
about birds and dinosaurs respectively okay so
