00:00:08.190 --> 00:00:12.050
Hello wonderful people welcome back to the Mark

00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:15.509
Mo Show season four no season six episode

00:00:15.509 --> 00:00:20.390
four is Where we're at I'm Aidan Maloney co -host

00:00:20.390 --> 00:00:25.129
of Mark Mo Show and Typical host Mark Mo sat

00:00:25.129 --> 00:00:29.050
right next to me. How you going? Hi? Okay, hola

00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:31.929
um so we're switching it up a bit today figured

00:00:31.929 --> 00:00:35.320
I would run the opening dialogue and see how

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.460
that pans out. We've got an interesting one,

00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:41.299
the human condition, if you will. And that's

00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:45.100
quite a broad subject that we'll dive into here

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.880
in a little bit. Maybe some personal anecdotes

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.560
in there, kind of relate this to our lives as

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.960
it goes. But I have a gaming channel, Aiden Spilled

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.320
the Right Way, on YouTube. Pretty fun stuff,

00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:02.189
you should check it out. I don't know what's

00:01:02.189 --> 00:01:06.930
coming up here soon. I've got more GeoGuessr

00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:11.049
in the works and a handful of new horror games

00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:15.209
to look at, which is super fun. So I think that's

00:01:15.209 --> 00:01:16.989
fantastic. But what we're talking about today

00:01:16.989 --> 00:01:22.310
is the human condition can be defined as the

00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:25.510
characteristics and key events of human life,

00:01:25.930 --> 00:01:29.629
including birth and learning and emotion, aspiration,

00:01:29.909 --> 00:01:34.769
reason. morality, one's own mortality, in fact.

00:01:35.409 --> 00:01:38.609
A very broad topic. Continues to be pondered

00:01:38.609 --> 00:01:41.969
about and analyzed from different perspectives,

00:01:42.349 --> 00:01:46.489
such as art and biology, literature, psychology,

00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:51.230
theology, everything like that. Because it can

00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:55.730
be pretty ambiguous. It can be as big as the

00:01:55.730 --> 00:01:58.969
meaning of life. It can be as small as... Making

00:01:58.969 --> 00:02:02.849
moral and ethical decisions on a day to day But

00:02:02.849 --> 00:02:07.250
I think the human condition in my opinion falls

00:02:07.250 --> 00:02:10.150
down into two things and that's reasoning and

00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:13.389
communication So I'm not I think neither of us

00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:17.650
are really religious people know necessarily

00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:22.430
but from a pragmatic scientific look at it, I've

00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:29.120
always felt the purpose of being human is to

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.659
learn and to communicate and to reason. I mean,

00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.939
humans are the greatest autobiographers in the

00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:42.539
observable universe. No one writes experiences

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:47.259
down or films of logs like us because no one

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:49.699
else is doing it. It's not another species who

00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:54.719
know that does that. And specifically on reasoning

00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.569
and communication is... what I really want to

00:02:58.569 --> 00:03:00.930
talk about today because we spent an hour and

00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:03.710
change on the phone yesterday with some recent

00:03:03.710 --> 00:03:07.509
events in Mark Moe's life causing stresses and

00:03:07.509 --> 00:03:12.370
strains and it all kind of boiled down to a lack

00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:15.830
of communication between two human beings and

00:03:15.830 --> 00:03:20.509
with a lack of communication comes a lack of

00:03:20.509 --> 00:03:22.169
being able to reason because you don't know what

00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:25.069
you don't know so I just wanted to talk about

00:03:25.069 --> 00:03:28.800
that now reason is the capacity to consciously

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.539
apply logic by drawing valid conclusions from

00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:36.280
new or existing information with the aim of seeking

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.979
the truth. That seems pretty valid. I would say

00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:44.180
a reasonable take. Yeah. It more or less involves

00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:46.780
the rational process of thinking and cognition

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:49.740
to extrapolate from one's existing knowledge

00:03:49.740 --> 00:03:54.759
to generate new knowledge using intellect. And

00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.500
we do that through communicating, not only with

00:03:58.500 --> 00:04:02.020
others, but with ourselves. And communication,

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:04.699
I think we're all pretty familiar with it, but

00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:08.419
classified as the exchange of information, either

00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:12.620
between humans, between different species. Communication

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:17.180
in humans is kind of two different paths. It

00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:22.439
can be verbal or nonverbal communication. And

00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.519
there's a lot you can glean from both. Through

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.759
those two paths there are two more paths interpersonal

00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.439
communications, which is the communication between

00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.519
two distinct beings and Intra personal communication

00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.220
which is communicating with one's own self and

00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:45.920
They're they're equally important because I feel

00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.720
like half of the reasoning we do as people is

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.339
Intra personal right it it happens in our own

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:58.100
brain. We break things down As we observe them

00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:00.519
and we come to conclusions through reasoning

00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.899
but if a breakdown of communication happens between

00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:06.639
two people that is interpersonal communication

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.379
and I feel like in your case not to not to get

00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:13.339
too specific on what's happened recently if you

00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:16.319
don't want to but that seems to be the basis

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.579
of Not only conflict but of stress stressors.

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:26.949
Oh sure which I mean, it's problematic because

00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:30.670
through proper communication, you would imagine

00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:35.170
that not only can stress be alleviated in most

00:05:35.170 --> 00:05:41.110
cases, but it can be outright avoided. How do

00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:44.350
you think communication could have changed recent

00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:49.110
experiences in your life? Well, I think when

00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:52.430
you have an issue between two people, whatever

00:05:52.430 --> 00:05:58.600
that issue might be. The idea is fix the problem,

00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.779
solve the problem. That's always the way it's

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:05.060
been. You can't, for example, go to work, be

00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:07.480
like, oh, that's a problem. Dah, I'm gonna ignore

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.620
it. It's a good way to lose a job. Right. So,

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.980
personally, or like with relationships or friendships

00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:17.800
or anything like that, you have to do the same

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.899
thing. You can't just sweep things under the

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:22.600
rug and assume they're gonna go right. or just

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.160
like if you have, say for example, like one person

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.079
maybe has an issue with another person and doesn't

00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.060
talk to them, well, it's not gonna get solved.

00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:34.860
But if they're talking to other people that aren't

00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:36.939
as familiar with that situation as the actual

00:06:36.939 --> 00:06:39.639
person that you need to talk to, what ends up

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.560
happening is the one person then is getting points

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.759
of view from people who have no idea what is

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.459
going on, other than their one point of view.

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.589
Sure. So it is always going to be skewed towards

00:06:51.589 --> 00:06:54.689
them in helping them make a decision without

00:06:54.689 --> 00:06:57.529
actually communicating with the person that they

00:06:57.529 --> 00:07:00.730
care about and saying, hey, I have this issue

00:07:00.730 --> 00:07:03.670
or that issue or whatever. This you might not

00:07:03.670 --> 00:07:06.569
even pertain to them. But if you're not communicating,

00:07:06.769 --> 00:07:08.610
that other party is going to be like, what's

00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:11.370
going on? Right. What am I doing? What's what's

00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:13.889
wrong? And if they're like, oh, nothing, don't

00:07:13.889 --> 00:07:16.269
worry about it. Or it's my own shit or whatever

00:07:16.269 --> 00:07:20.290
the case might be. That there's that disconnect

00:07:20.290 --> 00:07:22.850
and that disconnect does not help solve that

00:07:22.850 --> 00:07:29.350
problem right and that that to me is is so vitally

00:07:29.350 --> 00:07:33.649
important and I I read this book recently and

00:07:33.649 --> 00:07:36.269
I've got the Wikipedia article pulled up for

00:07:36.269 --> 00:07:39.569
it in front of me about nonviolent communication

00:07:39.569 --> 00:07:46.230
and that seems in like hearing the words in theory

00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:48.759
it sounds like a Pretty simple thing to do. Yeah,

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.560
but it it is something that takes time to practice

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.100
because you may not even realize through communications

00:07:56.100 --> 00:08:01.819
like in the story you were just telling how A

00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:05.339
dismissive attitude towards what seems to be

00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:08.839
an issue that is being communicated seemingly

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:13.509
non -verbally that Is it is problematic and it's

00:08:13.509 --> 00:08:16.449
not violent in in a sense of like throwing a

00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:18.310
punch at someone is a violent thing to do It's

00:08:18.310 --> 00:08:22.350
a right but nonviolent communication is it's

00:08:22.350 --> 00:08:25.129
different, but it's healthy to practice and it

00:08:25.129 --> 00:08:29.290
does take practice because sometimes Intra personally

00:08:29.290 --> 00:08:33.490
you can be thinking to yourself. I think what

00:08:33.490 --> 00:08:36.090
what I said was fine. I think my behavior is

00:08:36.090 --> 00:08:41.090
okay and in so many instances, that is not how

00:08:41.090 --> 00:08:44.350
you were perceived. So nonviolent communication,

00:08:45.669 --> 00:08:48.230
a communication process developed by clinical

00:08:48.230 --> 00:08:51.509
psychologist Marshall Rosenberg in the 60s and

00:08:51.509 --> 00:08:55.850
70s, based on principles of nonviolence and humanistic

00:08:55.850 --> 00:09:00.730
psychology. It foregrounds four components, observation,

00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:04.250
feelings, fundamental needs, and requests, and

00:09:04.250 --> 00:09:07.750
encourages expressing observations without judgment

00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:11.350
in order to foster voluntary cooperation. So

00:09:11.350 --> 00:09:15.970
essentially being pragmatic and practical and

00:09:15.970 --> 00:09:20.789
concise and specific without, as best you can,

00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:25.330
including biases. Right. Because that's, I mean,

00:09:25.590 --> 00:09:27.429
there's a million things in life easier said

00:09:27.429 --> 00:09:31.690
than done. Oh sure. But in order to be good at

00:09:31.690 --> 00:09:34.250
nonviolent communication and healthy communication,

00:09:34.769 --> 00:09:37.279
it requires one very important thing, and that's

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.100
just to communicate it. And that's so imperative,

00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:46.379
in my opinion, of my take of the human condition

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:49.620
as we know it. I don't know if communication

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:52.679
is the meaning of life. I don't know if life

00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.159
has one meaning. But it's such an important part

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.480
of life, and it's something that humans are so

00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.519
brilliant at, that it's sometimes to me mind

00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.690
-blowing. that, especially in your recent case

00:10:08.690 --> 00:10:13.870
here, there's so many stressors that can so easily

00:10:13.870 --> 00:10:18.629
be fixed by communication. Oh, sure. And sometimes

00:10:18.629 --> 00:10:22.090
it takes emotional maturity that certain people

00:10:22.090 --> 00:10:26.929
don't have. Sometimes it takes time that certain

00:10:26.929 --> 00:10:30.970
people aren't willing to give. And it's, I don't

00:10:30.970 --> 00:10:33.049
know. I don't know if it's the meaning of life

00:10:33.049 --> 00:10:35.750
to communicate. But I know damn well it's a big

00:10:35.750 --> 00:10:40.870
part of life. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is. I don't

00:10:40.870 --> 00:10:43.070
know what else to add to that. I mean, that's

00:10:43.070 --> 00:10:48.129
your right on. And the whole part about nonviolent

00:10:48.129 --> 00:10:51.529
communication or if you choose to call them arguments

00:10:51.529 --> 00:10:54.370
or whatever you want to do with it. The thing

00:10:54.370 --> 00:10:56.350
is, is when there's that breakdown in communication,

00:10:56.750 --> 00:11:00.490
people aren't talking. Emotionally, there is

00:11:00.490 --> 00:11:04.019
a buildup. Because there's nowhere for that to

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:07.580
go. No outlet. There's no outlet. So that naturally

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:11.399
just builds up. So whether you're talking about

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.860
anger or frustration or sadness or whatever that

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:19.259
is, those things can't go away without the conversation.

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:23.500
And I think that's where, even in as far as relationships

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:25.340
go, I think that's where a lot of people fall

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:28.059
down and that's like, you know, maybe a little

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:30.259
thing happens between a couple. Ah, whatever.

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:32.549
It's not a big deal. and maybe something else,

00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:35.350
and then maybe something else. Let me tell you

00:11:35.350 --> 00:11:38.830
from experience, ignoring the little things or

00:11:38.830 --> 00:11:40.669
sweeping them under the rug because I got 10

00:11:40.669 --> 00:11:43.570
other things to do today, that doesn't make them

00:11:43.570 --> 00:11:45.889
go away. They build up and they build up and

00:11:45.889 --> 00:11:47.769
they build up until something bigger happens.

00:11:48.029 --> 00:11:50.070
And now you've got an argument. Now you've got

00:11:50.070 --> 00:11:52.110
frustration and anger and all these things spill

00:11:52.110 --> 00:11:54.970
out because you didn't address some of the simplest

00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:58.370
shit earlier. And that is a huge problem, and

00:11:58.370 --> 00:12:00.190
I think that's a problem a lot of people have.

00:12:00.450 --> 00:12:02.389
And I know, there's gonna be some people that'll

00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:05.590
be like, well, I'm an introvert, or I'm just

00:12:05.590 --> 00:12:07.990
not a good communicator, or they could come up

00:12:07.990 --> 00:12:10.509
with a bunch of different reasons to say why

00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:13.649
they don't communicate. I'm here to say you gotta

00:12:13.649 --> 00:12:16.769
find a way. You gotta find a way to do it. And

00:12:16.769 --> 00:12:18.850
I know some people like to write notes, or write

00:12:18.850 --> 00:12:21.269
letters, or whatever, as a form of communication.

00:12:22.669 --> 00:12:28.399
That's okay. But... To solve it, you have to

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.940
talk. Right. Like you can sit there and write

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:33.039
something, but like I could write something and

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.679
read something and you could have the words there

00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.720
and they could all make sentence and come together.

00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:40.860
But I'm not getting emotion. I'm not getting

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:44.139
a true feel of maybe which things you might be

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.320
mentioning might trigger more than others. Like

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.480
I don't have that in a written form. Sure. I

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.379
won't understand that. Yeah. You know, the funny

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:54.200
thing is like when you when you think about texting.

00:12:54.750 --> 00:12:56.549
The only way you know someone's mad is if they're,

00:12:56.549 --> 00:12:59.289
like, in all caps. Sure. Because otherwise. Or

00:12:59.289 --> 00:13:02.110
excited. Right. Or someone says something in

00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:04.769
a text. And you could look at it and be like,

00:13:04.889 --> 00:13:07.529
oh, what a dick. Oh, why are they getting on

00:13:07.529 --> 00:13:09.750
me for? And then you talk to them and be like,

00:13:09.850 --> 00:13:11.389
oh, gosh, I didn't mean it like that. Right.

00:13:11.629 --> 00:13:15.389
Right. So texting is an important form of communication,

00:13:15.649 --> 00:13:17.549
obviously, because we are in the digital age.

00:13:18.190 --> 00:13:21.110
But there is something to be said for speaking.

00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.879
You have to be able to speak. You have to be

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.820
able to be like, hey, I have this issue. And

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:29.200
then 10 minutes later, after a conversation,

00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:32.179
ah, wasn't that big of a deal after all. Right.

00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.299
Or, oh, wow, I didn't know you felt that way.

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.639
Let me make a couple of changes here. Or, I won't

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:40.759
say that again, or whatever the case might be.

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:42.840
But if you don't have that conversation, you

00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.980
don't know. And like I said, then those emotions

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:47.559
build up into something that isn't great. Right.

00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:52.070
And importantly, regarding text or email or written

00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:56.929
communication, that whole second half of human

00:13:56.929 --> 00:13:59.409
beings communicating, nonverbal communication,

00:13:59.649 --> 00:14:02.610
is not present. It's not present. Inflections

00:14:02.610 --> 00:14:07.230
aren't felt. So while valid, written communication

00:14:07.230 --> 00:14:12.090
can be problematic in terms of specific expression.

00:14:12.549 --> 00:14:14.850
Right. Because at that point, then, it's interpretation.

00:14:15.250 --> 00:14:18.809
Right. Right. or how I perceive it to be. Yeah,

00:14:19.129 --> 00:14:23.970
and there's issues too with intrapersonal communication

00:14:23.970 --> 00:14:28.549
that something you said made me think about where

00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:32.570
it is important to of course communicate to yourself

00:14:32.570 --> 00:14:38.690
and process and reason within your own mind but

00:14:38.690 --> 00:14:40.990
if you are constantly running through things

00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:45.419
in your own head and telling yourself X, Y, and

00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:49.100
Z, and this is how I took X, Y, and Z, you have

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:52.659
to realize that's still only one side of the

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:56.179
story. It's your side of the story. The individual

00:14:56.179 --> 00:15:00.419
or individuals that may or may not be communicating

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:04.639
with you have the other side of the story. And

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.500
that leads me to this wonderful definition I

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:12.080
found from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:17.340
And I think this definition is so impactful and

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:20.480
important to think about in terms of empathy.

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:25.659
Because it's so important. And it's called Sonder.

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.480
The awareness that everyone has a story. And

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:34.220
here is how they describe Sonder. You are the

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:37.529
main character, the protagonist. the star at

00:15:37.529 --> 00:15:40.509
the center of your own unfolding story. You're

00:15:40.509 --> 00:15:43.309
surrounded by your supporting cast, friends and

00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:46.629
family hanging in your immediate orbit. Scattered

00:15:46.629 --> 00:15:49.210
a little further out, a network of acquaintances

00:15:49.210 --> 00:15:51.769
who drift in and out of contact over the years.

00:15:52.289 --> 00:15:54.529
But there in the background, faint and out of

00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:59.090
focus, are the extras, the random passerby, each

00:15:59.090 --> 00:16:03.309
living a life as vivid and complex as your own.

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.100
They carry on invisibly around you, bearing the

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:10.840
accumulated weight of their own ambitions, friends,

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:13.840
routines, mistakes, worries, triumphs, inherited

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.460
craziness. When your life moves on to the next

00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:21.360
scene, there's flickers in place, wrapped in

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.960
a cloud of backstory, inside jokes and characters,

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.379
strung together with countless other stories

00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:30.559
you'll never be able to see, that you'll never

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.309
know exist. in which you might only appear once

00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:40.029
as an extra in their life. Only appearing sipping

00:16:40.029 --> 00:16:42.990
coffee in the background or a blur of traffic

00:16:42.990 --> 00:16:46.409
passing on a highway or as a lighted window at

00:16:46.409 --> 00:16:53.929
dusk. And I find that so beautiful and impactful

00:16:53.929 --> 00:16:58.330
to think about because it puts into words what

00:16:58.330 --> 00:17:02.570
empathetic communication requires. Sure. You

00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:05.849
know, to understand that every intrapersonal

00:17:05.849 --> 00:17:08.769
thought you've ever had everyone else is also

00:17:08.769 --> 00:17:12.670
having. Right, correct. And it's very easy to

00:17:12.670 --> 00:17:15.690
get caught up in your own brain and it's very

00:17:15.690 --> 00:17:18.410
easy for emotions to build up and communication

00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:24.730
to fall through and it's important to try to

00:17:24.730 --> 00:17:29.369
not let that happen because friendships can be

00:17:29.369 --> 00:17:34.839
lost Family members stray away. Acquaintances

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.279
may start rumors if they're vindictive. Right.

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:44.900
It's a problematic world we can live in if communication

00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:48.019
falls through. And I just suggest to everyone

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:50.799
out there, all of our beautiful listeners, try

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:53.519
practicing non -violent communication. Put some

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:57.299
thought into the human condition as you see it.

00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.369
Because of course, the reasoning and communication

00:18:01.369 --> 00:18:05.549
specific version of the human condition that

00:18:05.549 --> 00:18:10.569
I find important. Maybe yours is different. Maybe

00:18:10.569 --> 00:18:14.609
your human condition to you, maybe it's more

00:18:14.609 --> 00:18:18.970
spiritual. Maybe there are separate meaning of

00:18:18.970 --> 00:18:20.849
lives. Maybe there is one meaning of life to

00:18:20.849 --> 00:18:26.509
you. And communicate it. Half of education is

00:18:26.509 --> 00:18:32.069
communicating. Correct. And so is half of relationships.

00:18:32.450 --> 00:18:35.109
Actually, most of relationships is just communicating.

00:18:35.890 --> 00:18:39.789
Yeah. And ultimately, it's a difference between

00:18:39.789 --> 00:18:43.269
success and failure. I mean, that's the bottom

00:18:43.269 --> 00:18:49.170
line. And if things go too long without proper

00:18:49.170 --> 00:18:52.789
communication, without working at it, or as I

00:18:52.789 --> 00:18:56.849
like to call it, watering the plant. If you don't

00:18:56.849 --> 00:18:59.569
it dies and you have to take care of that and

00:18:59.569 --> 00:19:02.509
look Individually, we all have busy lives. We

00:19:02.509 --> 00:19:05.130
have things going on We have other friends. We

00:19:05.130 --> 00:19:08.609
have jobs. We have hobbies. We have Bills we

00:19:08.609 --> 00:19:11.589
have I mean just just load it up, right? Right

00:19:11.589 --> 00:19:16.569
It just seems like humans 200 years ago had it

00:19:16.569 --> 00:19:19.299
best when there wasn't all of this business,

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.000
busyness and technology and things like that

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.500
and it was, you had a home and it was on a couple

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:26.339
acres and you grew your own shit and you had

00:19:26.339 --> 00:19:29.000
a couple of animals and whatever and it just

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.500
seems like maybe that was a better situation.

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:36.920
A simpler time. A simpler time where, you know,

00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.819
many forms of entertainment or communication

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:42.839
were right there between you and that significant

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.799
other or some neighbors and that was it. Right.

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:50.099
And today, The world is so much smaller, so it

00:19:50.099 --> 00:19:53.720
isn't just this small world of yours with a few

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.859
people. Like people's small worlds now contain

00:19:56.859 --> 00:20:00.940
hundreds of people. Right. And that's a big thing.

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:06.460
It's a lot to manage. And when you make a sacrifice

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:09.900
for someone, whatever that sacrifice might be,

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:12.099
and you're doing it for all the right reasons,

00:20:13.099 --> 00:20:17.279
I feel like if that communication isn't there,

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.599
That no matter how good your intentions are with

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.099
something It'll just fall apart sure, you know,

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.660
it'll just fall apart and and and and that one

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:32.980
individual that's within your hundreds of people

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:37.240
and you do that like that that is still impactful,

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.720
you know, you could get on fine with the other

00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:45.920
199 people in your sphere and Feel as though

00:20:46.769 --> 00:20:50.410
I don't know, like, you let that one individual

00:20:50.410 --> 00:20:55.029
down, not knowing how you did it. Sure. Because

00:20:55.029 --> 00:20:57.809
there is that lack of communication. It's amazing

00:20:57.809 --> 00:21:01.130
what that effect is. Oh yeah. It's amazing what

00:21:01.130 --> 00:21:03.170
that effect is because someone be like, dude,

00:21:03.650 --> 00:21:05.549
you have so many other friends, you have so many

00:21:05.549 --> 00:21:07.829
other things in your life, don't worry about

00:21:07.829 --> 00:21:12.670
it. But for me, when you, when your friends are

00:21:12.670 --> 00:21:15.759
everything, right? And your life is basically

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.799
revolved around your friendships, your close

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.720
friendships specifically, but your friendships

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:25.799
and your kids. And it's like, that's my life.

00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.220
That's the shit that's important to me. Right.

00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:31.799
And you get one individual and things go sideways

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.940
and that communication is that it's a destroyer

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:37.960
of freaking worlds. Right. And most people don't

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.380
understand that there are some people that are

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:43.059
built a certain way where they have a fallout.

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.759
And the day later, they're like, whatever. Yeah.

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:47.599
And they just kind of move on. I know people

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.339
like that. I'm not like that. I'm not wired that

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:56.839
way. But that's just what it is. Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:01.779
And it's one of those things, too, where the

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:04.420
stress you were talking about, especially from,

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.039
as you mentioned, like technology, everything

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.930
is so much smaller, small world. and yet everything

00:22:11.930 --> 00:22:15.470
is so much bigger. I mean, you can never see

00:22:15.470 --> 00:22:17.430
every corner of the internet. Maybe that's for

00:22:17.430 --> 00:22:20.549
a good purpose. Yeah, no doubt. But I've seen

00:22:20.549 --> 00:22:25.710
reports, too, that the addictiveness and the

00:22:25.710 --> 00:22:29.650
stress caused by social media and constantly

00:22:29.650 --> 00:22:33.549
being in communication with everyone all the

00:22:33.549 --> 00:22:37.970
time is harmful. And that's another side of communication

00:22:37.970 --> 00:22:42.329
that can be problematic. And the background stress

00:22:42.329 --> 00:22:46.009
from technology evolving faster than humans,

00:22:46.589 --> 00:22:50.609
like you said 100 years ago, 200 years ago, your

00:22:50.609 --> 00:22:53.829
neighbors or your congregation or your book club

00:22:53.829 --> 00:22:56.210
or anything like that, that was your circle.

00:22:56.470 --> 00:22:58.349
That was it? That was your circle. It's your

00:22:58.349 --> 00:23:01.849
family. You got like 10 people you know and a

00:23:01.849 --> 00:23:05.619
couple dozen acquaintances. And I don't know,

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.759
you're out there eating tomatoes. That's life.

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:12.079
Yeah, right. And technology and artificial intelligence

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.039
and social media is too fast. It's too fast for

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.819
humans to become accustomed to this life. Even

00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:24.640
Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z people who are born

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.920
into this technology boom. It's just not how

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.759
our brains were wired. No. And especially how...

00:23:33.830 --> 00:23:38.170
dangerous and unfair capitalism is, where all

00:23:38.170 --> 00:23:40.630
these background stresses are always on people's

00:23:40.630 --> 00:23:44.390
minds, even if you're not intrapersonally thinking

00:23:44.390 --> 00:23:46.930
about it all the time, the background stress

00:23:46.930 --> 00:23:49.910
is there, and that's something you can communicate

00:23:49.910 --> 00:23:52.869
about, but I don't know if it's something that

00:23:52.869 --> 00:23:55.990
can be alleviated. I'm not sure. I mean sure

00:23:55.990 --> 00:23:58.450
you can turn your phone off and yeah you walk

00:23:58.450 --> 00:24:01.190
in a park but you still got to turn your phone

00:24:01.190 --> 00:24:03.529
back on and go to work the next day. Right and

00:24:03.529 --> 00:24:06.170
see that's that's why I and I may have mentioned

00:24:06.170 --> 00:24:09.430
this to you someone else but like I'd often said

00:24:09.430 --> 00:24:11.309
because I'm part of a personal injury case we're

00:24:11.309 --> 00:24:13.849
not going to talk about it obviously but there's

00:24:13.849 --> 00:24:16.470
a possibility that I'll have a good chunk of

00:24:16.470 --> 00:24:19.230
change some point this summer which is great

00:24:19.230 --> 00:24:22.309
and there's things that I kind of immediately

00:24:22.309 --> 00:24:24.599
have to do with some of that money. But then

00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:27.099
I was thinking to myself, how easy would it be

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:29.720
to just liquidate like three quarters of the

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.099
stuff I have and just go. Yeah. Just literally

00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:36.799
throw my phone in the garbage and just go and

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:41.240
pick a direction and find some little cabin on

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.240
a prairie or some shit like that and maybe get

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:50.140
a dog and just exist. Yeah. Live the simpler

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:53.980
life that humans were kind of. born to do. Right.

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:58.039
And grow food, pet dogs. Right. And just kind

00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:00.019
of do that. And it's, you know, and the funny

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:03.099
thing is, like, I'm a city guy. Like, I love

00:25:03.099 --> 00:25:06.059
going to Chicago. I love taking trips to Vegas

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:08.559
and Seattle and Miami and places like that. I

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.180
mean, just I love the energy and the fun and

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:12.960
and people watching because I'm a people guy.

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:16.140
I've already explained that. So I really do enjoy

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:18.950
those types of things. But then. if you're talking

00:25:18.950 --> 00:25:20.730
about, and I mentioned this to Aidan in a private

00:25:20.730 --> 00:25:22.630
conversation, if you're talking about quieting

00:25:22.630 --> 00:25:25.470
the voices, see these voices in your head. And

00:25:25.470 --> 00:25:27.430
this is somewhat related to what we've been talking

00:25:27.430 --> 00:25:30.630
about because it's still communication, intrapersonal,

00:25:30.630 --> 00:25:34.369
if you will. Right. Where for me, everybody's

00:25:34.369 --> 00:25:37.849
different, but I've taken IQ tests before and

00:25:37.849 --> 00:25:41.589
I'm just below the genius level. Call me an underachiever.

00:25:41.670 --> 00:25:45.569
Call me what you want. Obviously. But I think

00:25:45.569 --> 00:25:49.289
for people that are very smart, our brains don't

00:25:49.289 --> 00:25:52.170
shut down easily. It's like a computer that you

00:25:52.170 --> 00:25:54.950
leave on that just keeps churning, keeps churning,

00:25:55.349 --> 00:25:57.710
keeps you up at night, random thoughts, things

00:25:57.710 --> 00:25:59.670
like that, because your brain is just firing,

00:25:59.910 --> 00:26:02.890
it's on, it's like... Hey, why are we sleeping?

00:26:03.130 --> 00:26:05.410
I have all these great ideas, and you're just

00:26:05.410 --> 00:26:08.450
like, or something happens between someone, or

00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:10.130
you're not getting along with a new roommate,

00:26:10.210 --> 00:26:12.650
or whatever the case is. And instead of just

00:26:12.650 --> 00:26:14.809
falling asleep and sleeping like a baby for seven

00:26:14.809 --> 00:26:17.250
or eight hours, you sleep for one, and then you're

00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:19.750
up and you're like, you know, oh, they're not

00:26:19.750 --> 00:26:21.529
happy with you. You're doing something wrong.

00:26:21.890 --> 00:26:23.970
Let's sit here and think about all the possible

00:26:23.970 --> 00:26:26.890
things that you're doing. There are people like

00:26:26.890 --> 00:26:30.140
me. I know I'm not alone in this. Yeah. but it

00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:34.640
just doesn't shut down. Right. And as also as

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.859
a form of communication, there's a thing called

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:40.579
therapy, right? Go see a therapist, talk about

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:42.200
your feelings, talk about your relationships,

00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.960
your friendships, things in your own personal

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.579
life. It's the task manager for your brain. Well,

00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:50.440
right. And that's what you hope. Yeah. Because

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.640
you sit there and go, OK, this thing's firing

00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:55.339
and it's not helping me help me make sense of

00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:58.660
what is going on. Now, for some people, it works

00:26:58.660 --> 00:27:02.279
great. I've had a couple of what I would call

00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.960
decent ones, or what I just call good people,

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:08.880
and I've had good conversations, but I don't

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:12.319
feel like in all that communication, because

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:14.660
I'm incredibly transparent. Anybody that sees

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:17.160
my Facebook feed knows that. I'm transparent.

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.700
I am honest. I throw shit against the wall, and

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:22.759
I see what sticks. If it does, great. If it doesn't,

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:25.640
we move along, but that's the kind of communicator

00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.539
I am. You know, if we communicate, you're going

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:32.200
to get exactly what you got coming, right? Because

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:35.299
it's like, I don't think it has to do with not

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:37.200
caring. I think it has to do with maybe caring

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.660
too much that I'm willing to share and open up

00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:43.559
because I want things to be better. Sure. But

00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:47.160
when it comes to therapy, I think it was Freud

00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:52.740
that said that the Irish are impervious to psychoanalysis.

00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.920
And to be completely honest, he's not. that wrong

00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:02.579
to and the thing is is like I literally one time

00:28:02.579 --> 00:28:06.619
this was in Florida and her name was Anna Maria

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:10.619
very very very nice person she did help me in

00:28:10.619 --> 00:28:13.660
some way she did to be fair she did help me with

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:16.619
some things down there which was good because

00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:19.259
that was a very dark time I've had like three

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:23.279
or four times in my life where it was dark And

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.779
that was one. And so with our communication and

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:27.279
talking, because I had no one else to talk to,

00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.619
moved to Florida on my own. So when you had a

00:28:29.619 --> 00:28:31.559
lot of life things going on and you move someplace

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:35.619
by yourself, sometimes it helps. In this case,

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:37.759
it did not, because it's just too much unresolved

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:42.099
stuff. So in talking with her, like I said, we

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:43.980
kind of solved some things. I had this chiropractor

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:46.279
who became a great friend and she told me about

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:48.559
like grounding, walking in your bare feet outside

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.980
and doing some other little things that would

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:54.319
help. Oddly enough, kind of worked. So one time

00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.559
we're sitting there in her office and we're talking

00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.359
about some things and she's asking us personal

00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:00.420
questions. I'm giving it to her just how I do.

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.640
But then the funny thing, because I'm built this

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.180
way, I then communicate back kind of like, oh,

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.819
well, how do you feel about this? How did and

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:11.480
here's what's here's what's hilarious. Like by

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.660
the end of that session, she's like, I felt like

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:18.089
you were my therapist. I said. I said, I apologize

00:29:18.089 --> 00:29:21.049
if I hijacked it. I said, but that's kind of,

00:29:21.049 --> 00:29:22.589
she's like, you should think about being a therapist.

00:29:22.630 --> 00:29:26.690
I'm like, nah, man. I'm like, I'm not. I mean,

00:29:26.950 --> 00:29:32.349
I don't want that responsibility on me. I'm like,

00:29:32.869 --> 00:29:34.930
I'll give a friend two cents of advice if they

00:29:34.930 --> 00:29:38.029
ever ask for it, I said, but I couldn't do it.

00:29:38.569 --> 00:29:40.670
But the point being in all of that is that when

00:29:40.670 --> 00:29:44.849
you're having that communication, We expect things

00:29:44.849 --> 00:29:47.789
to improve or get better or have enough information

00:29:47.789 --> 00:29:50.910
for things to just make sense. And it doesn't

00:29:50.910 --> 00:29:54.890
always. Right. And that's maybe, at least for

00:29:54.890 --> 00:29:56.849
me, sometimes that's where disappointment comes

00:29:56.849 --> 00:29:59.309
in. Because you put this time and this effort

00:29:59.309 --> 00:30:01.609
and being open and being transparent and genuine.

00:30:02.269 --> 00:30:04.509
And then days and weeks and months later and

00:30:04.509 --> 00:30:07.690
you go, why aren't things better? Yeah. And that's

00:30:07.690 --> 00:30:11.279
that's a frustrating thing. But it's still. worth

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.019
the conversation. I'm not saying it's not. And

00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:16.099
I'm not saying therapy always works because it

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:19.460
does not. Some people does. And if people are

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:22.319
having issues like someone that I know, they

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.000
need to see someone and talk to someone. And

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.519
as I said, maybe that will work for them and

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:31.799
maybe it won't. But it's worth it. If they're

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.359
not going to communicate with the people they

00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:35.380
care about the most, you have to communicate

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:38.440
with someone. You have to let it out. And you

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.440
have to talk about it. and be like, oh, I have

00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.880
a problem with A, B, C, and D. Okay. That's just

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.019
step one that you said, I have issues with this.

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:52.140
The next step is why. Right. Why do you have

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:54.940
issues with that? And then being open about it.

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:57.500
Right. Because if you bottle it up and you pack

00:30:57.500 --> 00:31:00.940
it in, you got to fully unpack it. Right. What

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:03.700
are you having issues with? Why are you having

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:06.119
those issues? What can we do about it? Right.

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:09.779
One, two, three. I mean, it's that simple. And

00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.400
If you don't want to take that first step to

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:17.180
a multi -step process, you're just going to repeat.

00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:23.900
Right. So it's just not me and me thinking that

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:27.380
I failed this person. Sure, because I do feel

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:32.160
that way. But because you care about them, you

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.960
want them to be healthy. You want them to be

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.900
better, to feel better. Because you realize that

00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:45.940
before me, there was a guy before me. There was

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:48.460
probably a friend before that and a friend before

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:52.480
that. And it's just like trash left on the highways.

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.680
You just keep driving along. Yeah. And none of

00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.559
that is going to change. Unless you change. And

00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.980
deal with it and learn to communicate. Now on

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:08.019
the upside with, in this specific instance for

00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:10.559
me. You know, I reached out and we have been

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.500
communicating. I've been helping her in this

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:15.539
transition. I didn't have to. Didn't have to

00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:19.920
answer one text if I didn't want to. But I still

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.339
care about this person and I want them to be

00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:24.759
better and to succeed and to feel better. Right.

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.119
And if that means going through this whole process

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:29.799
that she's going through, great. How can I help?

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.940
And maybe that's me being a bigger person. Maybe

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:34.920
that's just me caring about this person. Maybe

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.740
it's a lot of different things. But in all of

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:40.059
that, She was open to the idea of sitting down

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:42.000
some time and having tea and talking about things.

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.460
And I really hope so because that's healthy.

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:48.700
Right. That's a healthy thing to do to be able

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:51.359
to sit there and be like, yeah, you know, everything

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.279
kind of unraveled because of this. And then I

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.940
can be like, oh, well, I said or did this because

00:32:56.940 --> 00:32:59.940
I felt this way and we just didn't have an opportunity

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:03.319
to talk about it. Right. And so that's that's

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:04.880
unfortunate. I know there's a lot of you out

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.680
there where this this conversation is probably

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:11.500
very familiar with all of you. Right. Seems all

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:14.299
too similar. Whether it's an issue that you're

00:33:14.299 --> 00:33:16.660
having with a friend or whether it's an issue

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:19.279
that you're having with a loved one or a family

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.519
member, whatever the case is. But there's always

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.519
the reasons. There's always that causation. And

00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:26.900
if you don't take time to examine it, if you're

00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:28.839
like, yep, this person does mean something to

00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.500
me, then take the time. Right. Take the time.

00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.220
Otherwise, that person didn't mean that much

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:37.680
to you. Right. And then you need your own self

00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:44.059
-examination. Yeah. So, yeah. So, based on all

00:33:44.059 --> 00:33:50.460
of this and your excellent opening on communication

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:54.279
and all of that, the only advice that I have

00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.019
for people out there to avoid frustration and

00:33:58.019 --> 00:34:02.180
anger and sadness and losing the people that

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:05.819
you care about the most, You just have to talk.

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:07.420
Yeah. And I'm not saying you have to talk right

00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:09.139
away. Sometimes you have to internalize and think

00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:11.340
about things. That's actually pretty healthy,

00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:13.760
because if you talk about something too quickly,

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:16.460
that can tend to lead to arguments too. Right.

00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:19.139
But take a little time, internalize some things,

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:21.940
and talk. Be honest with someone. Be like, I

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:23.960
don't want to talk about it now, but maybe in

00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:26.880
a couple of days. Sure. And then you do, once

00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.519
you've had a chance to think on it, because some

00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:32.659
people operate that way. But always do it. Always

00:34:32.659 --> 00:34:34.639
have the talk. If somebody means something to

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.340
you, always have that talk. And there's always

00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:40.260
circumstances that go beyond that. Circumstances

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:44.800
where people are doing too much drugs, or people

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.719
that are drinking too much, or like those external

00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:51.579
things that kind of affect this. Right. But once

00:34:51.579 --> 00:34:55.119
again, if that's a problem, talking to them,

00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:57.760
hey, you know what? I really care about you.

00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:01.219
You're important to me. I think your increase

00:35:01.219 --> 00:35:04.679
in alcohol consumption is a problem. Right. I

00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.500
think your usage of drugs is a problem. You have

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:12.019
to tell them that. Right. If you care about them.

00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:16.940
And there's so many studies too that show that

00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:20.719
substance abuse and similar addictions are coping

00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:24.699
mechanisms for a different underlying problem

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:27.429
that hasn't been unpacked yet. Right, a lot of

00:35:27.429 --> 00:35:29.949
that happens that way, correct? Right. And to

00:35:29.949 --> 00:35:32.170
harken back to something you said earlier, and

00:35:32.170 --> 00:35:35.489
even bring this full circle, is specifically

00:35:35.489 --> 00:35:39.090
when you mentioned like voices in your head and

00:35:39.090 --> 00:35:42.670
that intrapersonal communication that can be

00:35:42.670 --> 00:35:46.650
problematic, it is important when I say, and

00:35:46.650 --> 00:35:48.289
for anyone interested, there's a great book on

00:35:48.289 --> 00:35:51.309
it, the article, the Wikipedia page on nonviolent

00:35:51.309 --> 00:35:54.010
communication is a good read too. You have to...

00:35:53.949 --> 00:35:57.070
practice nonviolent communication interpersonally,

00:35:57.909 --> 00:36:01.230
but importantly, you have to practice it interpersonally.

00:36:01.469 --> 00:36:09.389
Yeah. Right? The same advice or analyses or helpful

00:36:09.389 --> 00:36:12.530
hand that you would give to another person, you

00:36:12.530 --> 00:36:15.210
gotta teach yourself. You gotta be able to give

00:36:15.210 --> 00:36:19.510
that right back to yourself and realize that

00:36:19.510 --> 00:36:24.219
you can be violently communicative towards yourself

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:27.480
and that is also problematic. Well, it is problematic

00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:32.420
because if you're not nice to yourself, it's

00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:34.139
going to be a problem. It's going to be a problem

00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:36.619
in your interpersonal communications with others,

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:41.780
your work, all sorts of stuff. Yeah. And I know

00:36:41.780 --> 00:36:44.099
sometimes it's really hard to be nice to yourself

00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:47.849
when things aren't going well. you know, it's

00:36:47.849 --> 00:36:50.070
maybe you mess up at work, or you say something

00:36:50.070 --> 00:36:52.230
wrong to a friend you didn't even intend, or

00:36:52.230 --> 00:36:54.230
whatever the case might be, and then later you

00:36:54.230 --> 00:36:57.570
go, God, what a dumbass. Well, now my communication,

00:36:58.130 --> 00:37:00.510
which could have been better served elsewhere,

00:37:00.909 --> 00:37:03.869
talking about other things, now I just internalized

00:37:03.869 --> 00:37:06.650
it and I called myself a dumbass. Right. So if

00:37:06.650 --> 00:37:10.809
you do that too much, it's almost like your brain

00:37:10.809 --> 00:37:13.289
will then say, well, God, I guess this guy's

00:37:13.289 --> 00:37:16.539
a dumbass. Right. Right. So it's, and I know

00:37:16.539 --> 00:37:20.079
this is hard because I fail at this a lot. I

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.420
am my own worst critic and a lot of you are.

00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.780
I'm not, that was a very personal thing but I'm

00:37:25.780 --> 00:37:27.539
just admitting it and a lot of people have that

00:37:27.539 --> 00:37:31.860
issue. But we're so hard on ourselves that sometimes

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:34.980
rather than being hard on ourselves or saying

00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:37.539
negative things about ourselves whether it's

00:37:37.539 --> 00:37:40.960
just quietly or actually out loud, we don't,

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:44.239
number one we don't do that. And we kind of go

00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.539
to, okay, I was just feeling really negative

00:37:46.539 --> 00:37:49.920
about that. Why? Right. And it'd be like, okay,

00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.159
I should have done that. Well, what can I do?

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:54.880
What can I do to change this? And just be more

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.199
constructive, I suppose, if possible. Yeah. In

00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:04.559
doing that. But yeah, I fail at that a lot because

00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:09.530
I am so... so hard on myself. Right. And when

00:38:09.530 --> 00:38:13.329
you feel that way and you feel like things are

00:38:13.329 --> 00:38:18.389
bad. And life, my friend Mark Mondo, he, you

00:38:18.389 --> 00:38:20.369
know, long ago, we should have wrote a book,

00:38:20.769 --> 00:38:24.039
long ago. we came up with this whole theory about

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:27.260
how sports explain everything. And we use things

00:38:27.260 --> 00:38:29.059
that happen in sports and sports terminology

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:31.579
to basically explain life. And like we should

00:38:31.579 --> 00:38:32.900
have written a book together because I think

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:33.960
it would have been, number one, it would have

00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.119
been kind of funny. But number two, I think it

00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:37.320
would have kind of made people look at it and

00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:40.820
be like, wow, that's fascinating. Never really

00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:43.380
even look like it. But in this particular case,

00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.659
you know, things go bad for people. And I get...

00:38:46.670 --> 00:38:49.530
Look, I'm not a kid with one of those big bellies

00:38:49.530 --> 00:38:52.090
in Ethiopia and just, like, hoping to get a meal.

00:38:52.630 --> 00:38:56.050
I understand there is bad in this world a lot

00:38:56.050 --> 00:39:00.530
worse than my bad, and I get it. Yeah. But it's

00:39:00.530 --> 00:39:03.949
my life and my universe. So, you know, even though

00:39:03.949 --> 00:39:06.670
my bad's not that bad, it's still bad. And when

00:39:06.670 --> 00:39:08.989
you have, like, a good thing happen, get a job,

00:39:09.030 --> 00:39:10.909
whatever, it's like, yes, excellent, you know,

00:39:10.909 --> 00:39:13.460
and you... I don't know what chemicals start

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:15.139
throwing, flowing through your body, but it's

00:39:15.139 --> 00:39:17.280
like it feels good and you're like finally and

00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.539
blah blah blah because a lot of times saying

00:39:19.539 --> 00:39:22.659
things are bad, it's just like you have this

00:39:22.659 --> 00:39:25.639
self -worth and you feel like you're worth less

00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:28.960
because you're like, why don't people want me?

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.800
I have a lot to offer. Here I am living alone.

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.559
Here I am living alone without a job. What am

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:37.219
I doing wrong? And so there's a lot of that going

00:39:37.219 --> 00:39:40.670
inward all the time. And so what that does, in

00:39:40.670 --> 00:39:43.230
kind of a sports way, it creates what's called

00:39:43.230 --> 00:39:46.329
a losing streak. Right. And so it's like bad

00:39:46.329 --> 00:39:47.809
thing, bad thing, bad thing, bad thing. And then

00:39:47.809 --> 00:39:49.429
like one good thing happens. You're like, oh,

00:39:49.429 --> 00:39:52.210
that's really great. And instead of like using

00:39:52.210 --> 00:39:55.090
that as a pedestal and moving up and moving up

00:39:55.090 --> 00:39:56.809
and then like getting a winning streak going,

00:39:57.409 --> 00:39:59.269
then something happens the next day or a couple

00:39:59.269 --> 00:40:02.269
of days later. And rather than brushing it off,

00:40:02.610 --> 00:40:05.349
your brain goes, oh, here we go. Yeah. Right.

00:40:05.710 --> 00:40:08.730
Here's the here's the next losing streak. And

00:40:08.730 --> 00:40:12.789
it's tough. It's tough. So that interpersonal

00:40:12.789 --> 00:40:16.449
communication, what you say to yourself, try

00:40:16.449 --> 00:40:19.090
to be as positive as you can. Try as hard as

00:40:19.090 --> 00:40:21.789
you can. Like I said, therapy doesn't work great

00:40:21.789 --> 00:40:23.869
for me. It might work great for you. Talk to

00:40:23.869 --> 00:40:27.230
someone. Just communicate. Communicate to the

00:40:27.230 --> 00:40:29.710
ones you love because otherwise they don't know.

00:40:30.210 --> 00:40:33.050
You may have 10 things going wrong in your life

00:40:33.050 --> 00:40:36.130
and one of those things that is not going wrong

00:40:36.130 --> 00:40:39.469
could be your loved one. But if you don't let

00:40:39.469 --> 00:40:42.409
that loved one know, yeah, I have been a rat

00:40:42.409 --> 00:40:44.690
bastard. I have just been frustrated. I've been

00:40:44.690 --> 00:40:46.389
this and I've been that, and you are not the

00:40:46.389 --> 00:40:48.510
reason. Here's what's going on in my life. If

00:40:48.510 --> 00:40:51.730
you don't say that, the other person thinks it's

00:40:51.730 --> 00:40:53.809
all them. Oh, yeah. We'll guarantee you we'll

00:40:53.809 --> 00:40:56.309
think it's all them. And now they're gonna feel

00:40:56.309 --> 00:40:58.389
like shit, and they're gonna feel like they're

00:40:58.389 --> 00:41:01.429
not doing enough. So without proper communication,

00:41:01.489 --> 00:41:03.690
now they're like, oh. Well, I got to turn this

00:41:03.690 --> 00:41:05.730
amp up to 11. I just say, I got to start doing

00:41:05.730 --> 00:41:07.289
more and more and more. And maybe what that person

00:41:07.289 --> 00:41:10.070
needs is less. And that's how all this happens.

00:41:10.690 --> 00:41:13.190
No communication. And then we have to decipher

00:41:13.190 --> 00:41:17.730
for ourselves what is best. And that's the funniest

00:41:17.730 --> 00:41:20.469
thing of all, is people be like, doing what's

00:41:20.469 --> 00:41:23.690
best. How do you know? How do you really know

00:41:23.690 --> 00:41:26.769
if you're not communicating? Because then that's

00:41:26.769 --> 00:41:29.090
just in your own head. Then you're attempting

00:41:29.090 --> 00:41:32.570
to use reasoning. without the other half of reasoning

00:41:32.570 --> 00:41:35.710
that stems from communication and learning. Right.

00:41:36.230 --> 00:41:38.590
Because then, six months from now, you're going

00:41:38.590 --> 00:41:40.690
to fall into the same trap. And then fall into

00:41:40.690 --> 00:41:42.730
the same trap. And then you're going to be much

00:41:42.730 --> 00:41:44.750
older in life and be like, why am I not happy?

00:41:44.889 --> 00:41:47.750
Yeah. Why am I not happy? Why don't I have significant

00:41:47.750 --> 00:41:50.670
relationship? Why don't I have this, have that,

00:41:50.769 --> 00:41:56.630
whatever? And it ends up going back. And I told

00:41:56.630 --> 00:41:58.989
your mother this one time, and we were talking

00:41:58.989 --> 00:42:01.690
about like, you know, therapy and talking and

00:42:01.690 --> 00:42:03.949
getting help and figuring things out and whatever

00:42:03.949 --> 00:42:07.170
and stuff like that. And one thing that I'd said

00:42:07.170 --> 00:42:09.050
to her, and I didn't want her to take offense

00:42:09.050 --> 00:42:11.030
to it, because I was just honest. I was just

00:42:11.030 --> 00:42:13.190
like, you got to drill deep. You got to drill

00:42:13.190 --> 00:42:16.190
deep. Like, don't go to therapy with like, oh,

00:42:16.190 --> 00:42:18.250
I just want to fix this and it's something recent.

00:42:19.230 --> 00:42:21.590
Well, OK, that's fine. Might be able to do that

00:42:21.590 --> 00:42:23.550
with just some significant conversations with

00:42:23.550 --> 00:42:26.050
friends and family. But it's just kind of like,

00:42:26.190 --> 00:42:29.800
you know, that is most recent. But that happened

00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:32.199
because of this. And those things happen because

00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.440
of this. And you go back and you go back. And

00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.320
you have to really drill back to be like, find

00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.920
some sources and be like, oh, and then you get

00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:41.820
some understanding of why you're falling into

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:46.940
certain things. And so, you know, I'm a middle

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:50.179
-aged guy. I've had a lot of experience. I've

00:42:50.179 --> 00:42:52.820
listened to people. I've read things. And I've

00:42:52.820 --> 00:42:54.239
always been a good listener. So I just listen

00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:56.599
to people. And I think when you listen, you learn.

00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.570
So... You really have to genuinely listen to

00:43:00.570 --> 00:43:03.409
people, whether they're being emotional or not.

00:43:03.630 --> 00:43:06.289
If they're opening up, let them open up. Right.

00:43:06.630 --> 00:43:08.329
Because this is part of their process. You have

00:43:08.329 --> 00:43:13.070
to do it. So, yeah, I don't know. I guess in

00:43:13.070 --> 00:43:17.449
closing, try to be better to yourself. Try to

00:43:17.449 --> 00:43:19.690
say positive things to yourself as often as you

00:43:19.690 --> 00:43:22.510
can. If you have things in your life that aren't

00:43:22.510 --> 00:43:27.099
going great, communicate with people. that you

00:43:27.099 --> 00:43:29.599
love, I think that's important. Sometimes people

00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:31.840
be like, oh, just go get therapy. Well, no, maybe

00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:33.719
what they need is the people that they love.

00:43:34.219 --> 00:43:36.940
Maybe that's what they need. Don't just immediately

00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:39.679
shuffle it off and be like, well, I don't have

00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:43.039
time for your issues. Go see a therapist. It's

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.000
one of the worst things you can say. When someone

00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:48.119
comes to you, have that conversation, or just

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:51.239
listen, because they just need that in that moment.

00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:54.900
Just be like, oh, what's going on? And just listen

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:57.880
to them. And maybe then later, maybe then you

00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.340
say, you should probably talk to maybe someone

00:44:00.340 --> 00:44:02.480
that's more qualified to maybe help you find

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:04.699
the answers you're looking for. But in many ways

00:44:04.699 --> 00:44:07.280
sometimes, whether it's family, whether it's

00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:11.260
friends or whatever, just listen and communicate

00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:13.320
and don't always be their problem solver unless

00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.619
they're looking for some guidance. Then you give

00:44:16.619 --> 00:44:19.139
them your best advice you possibly have. That's

00:44:19.139 --> 00:44:21.739
communication. That's what it's all about. So

00:44:21.739 --> 00:44:24.579
once again, communicate with people you love.

00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:27.119
Don't let things grow. Don't let things build

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:30.980
up. Be nice to yourself. Say positive things

00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:35.059
to yourself. When things are going bad, try like

00:44:35.059 --> 00:44:38.380
hell to be better and do better things to get

00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:40.880
yourself out of it. Don't let your brain trick

00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:43.659
you, because it will. Brain is a lying asshole

00:44:43.659 --> 00:44:48.739
sometimes. So you have to trick it. But more

00:44:48.739 --> 00:44:52.079
than anything, it's that if you care and love

00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:55.940
for people, have the conversation. Have it and

00:44:55.940 --> 00:44:58.679
I'm not talking argument just a conversation

00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:02.320
be like, hey Let's let's talk about A B or C.

00:45:02.539 --> 00:45:04.280
You know, I see you're sad. Let's talk about

00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:06.699
it. I don't want to talk about it I know you

00:45:06.699 --> 00:45:08.739
don't want to talk about it, but you should probably

00:45:08.739 --> 00:45:14.500
talk about it. I Think I failed there I capitulated

00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:17.079
every time this other person said they didn't

00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:22.039
want to talk about it Because I was I was trying

00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:23.909
to be respectful Okay, you don't want to talk,

00:45:23.949 --> 00:45:25.949
but then like happens a third time, happens a

00:45:25.949 --> 00:45:29.190
fourth time, happens a fifth time. And at that

00:45:29.190 --> 00:45:33.449
point, you honestly have to be like, look, we're

00:45:33.449 --> 00:45:35.730
going to talk. And if you don't want to talk,

00:45:35.869 --> 00:45:38.449
I'm just going to talk at you. Right. Because

00:45:38.449 --> 00:45:40.150
you're letting that person know whether they

00:45:40.150 --> 00:45:41.789
know it or not, that you love them and you care

00:45:41.789 --> 00:45:44.050
about them. And you want to make things better.

00:45:44.329 --> 00:45:47.429
And maybe you can, maybe you can't. But the only

00:45:47.429 --> 00:45:50.250
way you're going to know is by communicating.

00:45:50.449 --> 00:45:53.820
Yeah. That's it. Very simply put. Yeah. We will

00:45:53.820 --> 00:45:57.380
be back in Uno Momento for a little Carpe Diem.

00:45:58.539 --> 00:46:01.219
Hopefully this, I don't know, we really intended

00:46:01.219 --> 00:46:04.019
this episode to be educational, but just thought

00:46:04.019 --> 00:46:06.900
provoking, perhaps. That was the kind of idea.

00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:11.400
And at least for me, I didn't want to get too

00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:16.079
deep in the weeds on some things because I'm

00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:19.960
at that emotional state. So maybe that wouldn't

00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:22.760
have been the best. I almost said radio. We used

00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.659
to do radio folks It wouldn't maybe wouldn't

00:46:25.659 --> 00:46:29.619
have been the best podcast But I don't sometimes

00:46:29.619 --> 00:46:34.320
I don't mind showing my emotion Means I care.

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:39.420
Yeah, so Thanks for listening. We'll be back

00:46:39.420 --> 00:46:50.980
We are so back gamers for Carpe Diems Lovely

00:46:50.980 --> 00:46:53.699
lovely viewers lovely listeners out there send

00:46:53.699 --> 00:47:00.440
us their DMS and we We can respond we can bring

00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.099
them up on the show. It's not a promise. It is

00:47:03.099 --> 00:47:06.860
not a guarantee I don't know how we could guarantee

00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:10.739
such a thing. I don't know. I don't know maybe

00:47:10.739 --> 00:47:14.420
Maybe something that would enrich our lives so

00:47:14.420 --> 00:47:18.000
to speak something of value maybe value. Yeah

00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:21.409
It's a thought Yeah. Throwing it out there. Throwing

00:47:21.409 --> 00:47:23.449
that out there. So we've got a little bit of

00:47:23.449 --> 00:47:26.230
a limited Carpe Diems today. The show is a little

00:47:26.230 --> 00:47:28.949
bit on short notice. But we'll do Diems. We've

00:47:28.949 --> 00:47:30.670
got other foods coming up here shortly, as well

00:47:30.670 --> 00:47:33.010
as the Frozen Guy Frozen review. Gonna start

00:47:33.010 --> 00:47:36.829
off with a Diem here from my boy, Dr. Johnny

00:47:36.829 --> 00:47:42.090
Dong. Ooh. Asking, would you take a job washing

00:47:42.090 --> 00:47:46.530
ball sacks for a living if it paid $150 ,000

00:47:46.530 --> 00:47:50.159
a year? Wow. I don't like that question, Jonathan.

00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:54.539
No. I'm sorry, Doc. Doc. Dr. Johnny Dong. What

00:47:54.539 --> 00:47:57.900
a great name. Glad that question didn't come

00:47:57.900 --> 00:48:05.420
from Doc Brown. $150 ,000 a year is a good paycheck.

00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.960
It's a great paycheck. It is a great paycheck.

00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:12.519
I don't know if I could do it. I'd do it. You'd

00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:14.530
do it? Wash ball sacks for a living? I mean,

00:48:14.690 --> 00:48:17.289
that's a tough shift. That's a long eight hours.

00:48:18.550 --> 00:48:23.849
It's brainless. You don't have to have a single

00:48:23.849 --> 00:48:28.409
skill. All you have to do is wash the balls,

00:48:28.670 --> 00:48:31.190
man. Yeah. That's all you have to do. It doesn't

00:48:31.190 --> 00:48:32.769
even say I have to touch them. I can have gloves

00:48:32.769 --> 00:48:36.150
on. This is true. It doesn't matter, man. Get

00:48:36.150 --> 00:48:39.059
that sponge. Scrub those little nuts up. You

00:48:39.059 --> 00:48:41.219
know, get them all sparkly looking good for their

00:48:41.219 --> 00:48:44.360
lady or their guy or whatever and send them on

00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:46.980
their way. Next up. Next balls, please. Next

00:48:46.980 --> 00:48:50.539
up. Wash the old scrotes. Yeah. You know? Clean

00:48:50.539 --> 00:48:53.699
testes. 450. I just get to sit there and wash

00:48:53.699 --> 00:48:56.539
nuts. I guess that, you know what? Deez nuts.

00:48:57.019 --> 00:49:00.840
Deez nuts. You make a good point. You make it,

00:49:00.940 --> 00:49:04.400
I didn't think about PPE. You could have gloves

00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.699
on, a doctor's mask. Gloves, mask, the whole

00:49:06.699 --> 00:49:09.860
thing. Maybe something to deal with any smells

00:49:09.860 --> 00:49:12.920
you may come across. Yep. Yeah, you can usually

00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:15.219
put a little bit of Vaseline under your house.

00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:17.460
Oh, yeah. That's what they do in morgues. Oh,

00:49:17.539 --> 00:49:20.099
that's smart. Yeah, and so I would sincerely

00:49:20.099 --> 00:49:22.519
hope that your nuts don't smell worse than a

00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:26.599
dead body. If they do, chances are your significant

00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:29.260
other probably isn't going to do certain things.

00:49:29.469 --> 00:49:31.670
for you if you're not to smell that bad, which

00:49:31.670 --> 00:49:33.949
is why you're coming to visit me. Exactly. At

00:49:33.949 --> 00:49:36.769
Maloney's Nutwash. Maloney's Nutwash. That's

00:49:36.769 --> 00:49:42.710
right. Yeah. Oh, man. I think I'm happy for you.

00:49:43.730 --> 00:49:45.510
I just started a business I didn't even know.

00:49:45.510 --> 00:49:47.809
Good paying job. Didn't even know. I think I'm

00:49:47.809 --> 00:49:50.010
going to pass. You'll pass on washing the nuts?

00:49:50.090 --> 00:49:52.530
I'll pass on the nuts. I'll wash a nut. I'll

00:49:52.530 --> 00:49:57.010
wash both. Two for one special. Two for one special.

00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.260
It's like, look, I was just really hoping to

00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:01.500
spruce up that left nut. Nah, I got you both.

00:50:02.340 --> 00:50:04.960
Got you both, man. Let's go. Spruce up the left

00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:10.280
nut, please. I got a DM here from Polly Frankenstein.

00:50:10.780 --> 00:50:15.260
If the afterlife was a simple choice between

00:50:15.260 --> 00:50:18.940
watching human history play out up until your

00:50:18.940 --> 00:50:22.679
passing versus watching the future of humanity

00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:26.300
play out until extinction, Which would you choose

00:50:26.300 --> 00:50:32.300
to watch? That's a tough one and this is why

00:50:32.300 --> 00:50:36.519
because What if you pick the first one and it's

00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:39.360
like three minutes long? And you're like, oh

00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:42.139
cuz I'm not gonna be around that long Okay, that

00:50:42.139 --> 00:50:44.199
wasn't really worth it either. It's like right.

00:50:44.380 --> 00:50:47.719
Yeah, like you pass away and then nuclear winter

00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:50.940
happens a couple days later. It's like, well,

00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.639
I got the wrong movie. I got the wrong movie,

00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:55.739
right? It's just like, I want to see what happens

00:50:55.739 --> 00:50:58.519
for the rest of my time on Earth. Wait, why was

00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:01.099
that just one minute long? Right. You know, what's

00:51:01.099 --> 00:51:04.280
it going to happen to me? So I think after is

00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:08.179
better because after it maybe gives you very

00:51:08.179 --> 00:51:13.260
little indication of when your final day is,

00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:17.489
because most of us do not know. So. I would probably

00:51:17.489 --> 00:51:20.809
go, like, what's after? See the future of humanity?

00:51:21.090 --> 00:51:23.489
Yeah. Although, you know, is it possible that

00:51:23.489 --> 00:51:25.550
that could be disappointing? Because then you

00:51:25.550 --> 00:51:27.449
see things be like, oh, that's really great.

00:51:27.570 --> 00:51:30.630
Oh, yeah. Oh, they did universal medicine. Oh,

00:51:30.630 --> 00:51:32.630
look, people are happy. Damn, I'm going to miss

00:51:32.630 --> 00:51:35.190
all that. Yeah, right. But at least I'll have

00:51:35.190 --> 00:51:37.630
seen it to know, hey, the world got better. Yeah.

00:51:37.769 --> 00:51:40.269
OK, that's good. Or you watch it and it's just

00:51:40.269 --> 00:51:43.440
like, wow. It's desolate, and there's no food

00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:46.159
left, and people are dying. Yeah. Whew, guess

00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:49.179
I missed that. Yeah. See the dystopian part?

00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.619
Right, exactly. So, yeah, I don't know. Probably

00:51:52.619 --> 00:51:55.219
the one after. Yeah. I'll take the one before.

00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:58.659
I think being able to observe human history,

00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:04.159
as fun as the future could be, I think there's

00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:08.360
so much cool stuff within human history, like...

00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:11.400
Watching the greatest scientists on earth come

00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:14.099
up with their inventions like seeing them on

00:52:14.099 --> 00:52:17.659
that day When when old boy got the Tesla coil

00:52:17.659 --> 00:52:20.139
to work? Yeah, like that would have been so cool

00:52:20.139 --> 00:52:22.400
So I'll take history you just let me know what

00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.840
the future just just don't do any Marty McFly

00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:27.559
sports almanac shit That's all I'm gonna ask

00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:29.260
You're sitting there like whoa the Bears won

00:52:29.260 --> 00:52:31.719
three Super Bowls in a row ha daddy's making

00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:34.340
money Yeah, don't don't do that. Although it's

00:52:34.340 --> 00:52:37.460
tempting. It is tempting. Yeah I got a DM here

00:52:37.460 --> 00:52:41.260
from Piss Cup. How would you feel about fully

00:52:41.260 --> 00:52:46.019
converting to the metric system? It would take

00:52:46.019 --> 00:52:50.079
a lot of training of the brain, I think. Right.

00:52:50.260 --> 00:52:55.860
Just simply because there are things in our life

00:52:55.860 --> 00:52:59.219
that have been a certain way for such a long

00:52:59.219 --> 00:53:02.460
time. You know, the gallon, the cup, you know,

00:53:02.579 --> 00:53:04.980
this, that, the, like... all of those things,

00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.739
and if all of that changed, then it's just like,

00:53:08.099 --> 00:53:10.980
I need a millimeter of what? A kilometer of what?

00:53:11.179 --> 00:53:13.539
Yeah. How many kilometers is the drive to work?

00:53:13.659 --> 00:53:16.000
It's like, dude, I don't know. I don't know.

00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:20.480
How many kilometers an hour am I driving? Yeah,

00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:22.639
because it is kind of like learning a new language.

00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.500
Oh, yeah. Because my first thought is like, oh,

00:53:25.500 --> 00:53:29.289
if I'm driving 50 mile an hour. the conversion

00:53:29.289 --> 00:53:33.449
to get to kilometers an hour is about 1 .6 times.

00:53:34.050 --> 00:53:37.230
But that's also how I learn language or attempt

00:53:37.230 --> 00:53:39.389
to learn language is like, okay, here's this

00:53:39.389 --> 00:53:43.289
word I know. Here's what it is in Spanish. And

00:53:43.289 --> 00:53:45.269
then I'll hear that Spanish word and instead

00:53:45.269 --> 00:53:50.829
of thinking of the object like, oh, cerveza makes

00:53:50.829 --> 00:53:53.230
me think of the English word beer, which makes

00:53:53.230 --> 00:53:56.579
me think of a beer. So you're just another step

00:53:56.579 --> 00:54:00.079
removed from being able to cognitively think

00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:03.159
of things quickly. So I think that'd be a, I

00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:07.980
like the metric system except for Celsius. I

00:54:07.980 --> 00:54:10.579
don't like Celsius. I think it's stupid. I think

00:54:10.579 --> 00:54:13.940
it makes sense for science because Celsius relates

00:54:13.940 --> 00:54:18.199
perfectly to the temperatures of water. Zero

00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:21.219
C is frozen, 100 C is boiling. That's great.

00:54:21.469 --> 00:54:24.130
But Fahrenheit makes more sense in terms of what

00:54:24.130 --> 00:54:28.409
it feels like to be human. Zero C is cold, 100

00:54:28.409 --> 00:54:31.050
C is hot, and then you've got this nice big range

00:54:31.050 --> 00:54:33.889
in between. All the Chodesters over in England

00:54:33.889 --> 00:54:36.789
are like, oh, it's a hot one out, it's 28 C.

00:54:37.190 --> 00:54:38.610
I don't know what that means, but if you say

00:54:38.610 --> 00:54:42.030
it's 85, well, yeah, it's a hot one out. I don't

00:54:42.030 --> 00:54:45.010
like Celsius. I think I would eventually come

00:54:45.010 --> 00:54:49.449
to terms with centimeters and meters and liters

00:54:49.449 --> 00:54:53.320
and all that. But I hate Celsius. It's so stupid

00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:57.460
for regular human life. Yeah, it really is. Yeah,

00:54:57.539 --> 00:55:02.000
not a fan. Final DM I got today. Jumbo Jorkin

00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:04.940
checking in. What celebrities do you think are

00:55:04.940 --> 00:55:09.400
genuinely good people? Keanu Reeves. That was

00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:13.659
my first thought. Keanu Reeves. Kate Hudson.

00:55:14.340 --> 00:55:21.659
Robin Williams. Oh, yeah. Let's see. Bernie Sanders.

00:55:22.300 --> 00:55:24.760
Yeah, there's so few and far between. Like once

00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:26.880
you said Keanu, my brain was like blank. I'm

00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:28.539
like, yep, that's checked everything off the

00:55:28.539 --> 00:55:31.800
list. Yeah, yeah, that's those are the ones.

00:55:32.679 --> 00:55:36.599
Those are the ones for sure. God, I know there's

00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:39.139
probably more that I'm just not. I mean, I've

00:55:39.139 --> 00:55:42.039
only ever heard good things about Tom Holland.

00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.929
I have, you know. Yeah, that is true. Yep. So,

00:55:45.989 --> 00:55:47.610
there are good celebrities out there. I think

00:55:47.610 --> 00:55:49.530
there's just a lot of mainstream ones that are

00:55:49.530 --> 00:55:53.789
real shitty. Yeah, oh yeah. Real shitty. Jared

00:55:53.789 --> 00:56:00.010
Leto, Chris Brown, Kanye. All that. Yeah. Chevy

00:56:00.010 --> 00:56:03.690
Chase. But then again, media feeds off of negativity.

00:56:03.909 --> 00:56:05.949
So it's very easy to think of people who are

00:56:05.949 --> 00:56:11.369
bad people and are notable for it when... You

00:56:11.369 --> 00:56:14.050
know, the cool stories you hear about Keanu or

00:56:14.050 --> 00:56:16.409
Tom Holland or anyone. They're just kind of like,

00:56:16.550 --> 00:56:19.389
oh, wow, that's really nice that they did genuinely

00:56:19.389 --> 00:56:22.389
good human things. And then the next 10 stories

00:56:22.389 --> 00:56:24.929
you see on your timeline are like, oh, this celebrity

00:56:24.929 --> 00:56:28.010
dropped the N word 14 more times. It's like,

00:56:28.210 --> 00:56:32.610
dude, what the hell? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Well,

00:56:32.610 --> 00:56:37.030
that brings us then to the other foods. Let's

00:56:37.030 --> 00:56:40.630
do it. Now the other foods it's a little segment

00:56:40.630 --> 00:56:44.150
I do where I'll traverse the globe looking for

00:56:44.150 --> 00:56:48.590
disgusting sounding or just a typical foods and

00:56:48.590 --> 00:56:50.710
I bring them up on the show for all you lovely

00:56:50.710 --> 00:56:54.010
listeners and for Mark Mo to hear and react to

00:56:54.010 --> 00:56:58.289
and This week I saw a post on reddit in a sub

00:56:58.289 --> 00:57:00.469
reddit I'm not super familiar with but it got

00:57:00.469 --> 00:57:03.030
me thinking we're we're getting into nicer weather

00:57:03.030 --> 00:57:07.619
here in the northern hemisphere And it's almost

00:57:07.619 --> 00:57:10.780
grilling season, boys. Almost. And when it's

00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:14.619
grilling season, it's dog season. Yeah. And this

00:57:14.619 --> 00:57:17.440
post got me thinking. Because it said it's on

00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:21.599
r slash hot dogs. Oh, OK. It's the hot dogs for

00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:23.599
Reddit. I love it. The hot dog subreddit. I love

00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:25.760
it. And someone asked, this is a post from two

00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:29.179
years ago, what is the weirdest topping that

00:57:29.179 --> 00:57:31.980
actually works? So I was just going to run through

00:57:31.980 --> 00:57:35.300
some of these comments that I saw. And then I

00:57:35.300 --> 00:57:38.679
did my own research on Google on as far as some

00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:45.960
atypical toppings. Top comment, mayonnaise. Recommending

00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:54.980
mayo chop and mustard. Okay. Now I can see that.

00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:57.760
Yeah. I can see because mayonnaise is just another

00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.340
condiment. Of course. I'm not much of a ketchup

00:58:00.340 --> 00:58:05.400
on hot dog guy, but mayo chop and mustard. Yeah,

00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:09.679
I don't know about that. That's not at the top

00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:12.579
of my list. Yeah, I can't picture it. I can't

00:58:12.579 --> 00:58:16.219
either. Like I know precisely what ketchup on

00:58:16.219 --> 00:58:18.239
a hot dog tastes like. I know precisely what

00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:20.599
mayonnaise on a hot dog tastes like. I'm like

00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:24.940
thinking mayonnaise and a dog and a glizzy and

00:58:24.940 --> 00:58:28.659
it's not computing for me. It's not. Interestingly

00:58:28.659 --> 00:58:33.320
enough, I can have some mayo on a burger. And

00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:34.760
throw a little bit of ketchup and mustard on

00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:36.559
there. Yeah. Along with some lettuce and cheese

00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.920
and stuff. Chipotle may own a burger. It's great.

00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:42.900
And it works. Yeah. Yeah. But a dog isn't a burger.

00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:45.880
It's a tube steak. Different texture, different

00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.039
format. Filled with different shit. Yeah. And

00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:51.719
when you're talking dog, brats, sausages, all

00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:54.480
that kind of stuff, it's mustard territory. Yeah.

00:58:54.980 --> 00:58:57.320
It's just what it is. Heavy mustard. Yeah. Now

00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:00.460
look, I get it. Will Bobby want to sit down?

00:59:00.460 --> 00:59:03.440
He want to have ketchup on his hot dog. That's

00:59:03.440 --> 00:59:06.019
allowed. That's allowed for little Bobby to have

00:59:06.019 --> 00:59:07.300
ketchup on his hot dog. Because little Bobby

00:59:07.300 --> 00:59:08.760
doesn't know better. Because we just want to

00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:11.139
keep Bobby happy and we want him to watch Bob

00:59:11.139 --> 00:59:12.820
the Builder and then pass the fuck out. Yeah.

00:59:13.019 --> 00:59:16.079
So we get that. A grown ass person should not

00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:18.920
be putting ketchup on a sausage of any kind.

00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:21.820
Yes. This is correct. Let alone a bratwurst.

00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:25.659
Oh my god. Yeah. You just get disqualified from

00:59:25.659 --> 00:59:29.409
the human race. For that one. It's mustard territory.

00:59:29.769 --> 00:59:31.070
And you can use different mustard. You could

00:59:31.070 --> 00:59:33.570
use a standard yellow mustard. You can use the

00:59:33.570 --> 00:59:36.190
Gildens, you know, all the, oh, that's good stuff.

00:59:36.230 --> 00:59:39.190
Yeah. So all of that is in the ballpark. You

00:59:39.190 --> 00:59:42.590
can do it. But and I love mayo. Don't get me

00:59:42.590 --> 00:59:45.710
wrong. Mayo might be my favorite condiment. Very

00:59:45.710 --> 00:59:48.150
versatile. I love mayonnaise. You can put it

00:59:48.150 --> 00:59:50.489
on any sandwich, a burger. It's great stuff.

00:59:50.989 --> 00:59:54.130
I love it as a dip. Like if I get french fries,

00:59:54.429 --> 00:59:56.809
like french fries. And I've been the fry guy.

00:59:57.699 --> 01:00:00.139
French fries, you know, you can dip them in ketchup.

01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:03.480
It's okay. Not great, but it's okay. It's like

01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:05.579
if the fry isn't a great fry, yep, give me some

01:00:05.579 --> 01:00:08.920
ketchup. I need to ketchup these things up. But

01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:14.420
mayo on a fry? Or gravy. Or gravy. Yeah. Like

01:00:14.420 --> 01:00:16.900
chips and gravy? Yep. Like the old English and

01:00:16.900 --> 01:00:19.639
Irish way to do it? Yeah, that's a good way to

01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:24.690
do it too. But, yeah, no, all of that on one

01:00:24.690 --> 01:00:29.190
glizzy? No. No way. No. I'll pass. I'll pass.

01:00:29.590 --> 01:00:35.170
The next hop comment, freeze and then grate a

01:00:35.170 --> 01:00:38.750
hot dog. Sprinkle the grated hot dog on top of

01:00:38.750 --> 01:00:46.550
your hot dog. Yeah. That's creative. That is

01:00:46.550 --> 01:00:49.250
boof. That is something. You get more dog per

01:00:49.250 --> 01:00:52.500
dog. doing it like that yeah for sure it's the

01:00:52.500 --> 01:00:56.000
relish of hot dogs yeah the relish of hot dogs

01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.900
that's funny yeah uh next comment here a bit

01:00:58.900 --> 01:01:02.159
of blue cheese and diced green apple someone

01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:07.880
suggests i i'll pass on that i don't why would

01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:10.360
i put apples with a hot dog yeah why would you

01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:12.519
do that and why would i put apples with blue

01:01:12.519 --> 01:01:15.460
cheese there's these three things are not related

01:01:15.460 --> 01:01:19.340
at all no they're really not no i i'll pass on

01:01:19.340 --> 01:01:23.949
that They put cream cheese on hot dogs here in

01:01:23.949 --> 01:01:26.309
Washington. Some people like it, but I think

01:01:26.309 --> 01:01:29.489
it's an abomination, someone says. It's gross.

01:01:29.769 --> 01:01:31.550
Cream cheese, have you tried cream cheese on

01:01:31.550 --> 01:01:34.909
a dog? I remember, I think I was a kid. I know

01:01:34.909 --> 01:01:38.829
I was a kid. I can't remember like when or who,

01:01:39.130 --> 01:01:41.329
but I remember going there and I was given a

01:01:41.329 --> 01:01:44.369
hot dog and I was looking for the mustard. I'm

01:01:44.369 --> 01:01:46.170
like, oh, you got some mustard. And he was like,

01:01:46.329 --> 01:01:50.860
oh no, you used cream cheese. Oh. Okay. So like

01:01:50.860 --> 01:01:53.380
I put a little on like a little bit of the tip

01:01:53.380 --> 01:01:56.400
of the hot dog and I ate one and like I didn't

01:01:56.400 --> 01:01:58.500
want to vomit. I'm not going to go that far.

01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:01.380
But like I ate it and I felt my tongue swirling

01:02:01.380 --> 01:02:04.079
around in my mouth kind of checking out all of

01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:07.539
the various flavors. Sure. And then thought I

01:02:07.539 --> 01:02:09.480
could I could spit this out right now. Yeah.

01:02:09.539 --> 01:02:12.699
I could really spit this out right now. I didn't

01:02:12.699 --> 01:02:15.000
obviously. But I was done using the cream cheese.

01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:19.309
Yeah. Interesting. Cream cheese on a dog. I can't

01:02:19.309 --> 01:02:23.250
picture that either in my brain. Some people

01:02:23.250 --> 01:02:27.250
are commenting crunch up barbecue chips and put

01:02:27.250 --> 01:02:31.010
them on a hot dog. I like that idea. I'm okay

01:02:31.010 --> 01:02:32.889
with that. Like a little texture, a little crunch

01:02:32.889 --> 01:02:35.329
in there. You can do that with like regular people's

01:02:35.329 --> 01:02:38.429
sandwiches too. Someone said peanut butter. Peanut

01:02:38.429 --> 01:02:42.829
butter on a glizzy. It gets a hard pass. Yeah,

01:02:43.269 --> 01:02:46.360
I agree. Look, peanut butter's great. I like

01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:50.340
peanut butter. Put peanut butter on a cracker,

01:02:50.340 --> 01:02:53.099
on a sandwich. There are practical applications.

01:02:53.340 --> 01:02:55.940
You got a plain old chocolate bar just sitting

01:02:55.940 --> 01:02:57.980
there going, eh, get some peanut butter, dip

01:02:57.980 --> 01:02:59.960
it in there. That's good stuff. So there are

01:02:59.960 --> 01:03:01.980
definitely practical applications. A glizzy?

01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:05.760
No freaking way. Yeah. People tend to just want

01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:10.320
to dump all that stuff. I don't get it. No. I

01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:13.760
don't get it. And there are... savory applications

01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:15.699
for peanut butter like Thai peanut noodles are

01:03:15.699 --> 01:03:18.119
great but why would you put it with a hot dog

01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:21.320
right that doesn't add up right that doesn't

01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:26.519
add up and the the most I'll say creative and

01:03:26.519 --> 01:03:29.320
unusual hot dog toppings that I could find on

01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:35.099
Google include caramel popcorn mm -hmm on a hot

01:03:35.099 --> 01:03:39.159
dog oh why I don't know why would you do that

01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:41.139
why would you do that yeah Here's one that kind

01:03:41.139 --> 01:03:42.880
of piqued my interest, though. People put mac

01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:46.960
and cheese on hot dogs. Oh. Now that's an idea.

01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:50.500
Yeah, that one I like. Yeah. Like a childhood

01:03:50.500 --> 01:03:52.679
meal is like cut up hot dogs and mac and cheese.

01:03:52.820 --> 01:03:54.920
Yep. That one I like. But then you keep the hot

01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:56.460
dog whole, you put the mac and cheese on the

01:03:56.460 --> 01:04:00.480
bun. Get real. Yeah. That's where it's at. I

01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:02.659
like that one. Okay. People are saying things

01:04:02.659 --> 01:04:06.860
like peach salsa or mango salsa. I guess. Yep.

01:04:07.219 --> 01:04:11.019
I guess the sweet and savory could work. pickled

01:04:11.019 --> 01:04:14.039
beets. And someone even tried putting an entire

01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:17.219
slice of pizza on a hot dog and called it a topping.

01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:20.320
Yeah. Which I don't know if that's as much of

01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:22.940
a topping as you just put a pizza on a hot dog.

01:04:23.099 --> 01:04:25.780
Yeah, that's not great. I would try it. Yeah.

01:04:26.139 --> 01:04:28.320
A lot of bread in that meal, though. Oh, for

01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:30.539
sure. I would try it. Yeah. So yeah, that's my

01:04:30.539 --> 01:04:32.039
other foods for the day. I just wanted to talk

01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:35.659
about the most atypical hot dog toppings I could

01:04:35.659 --> 01:04:39.059
find. Yeah. So wow that was yeah, those were

01:04:39.059 --> 01:04:41.460
a couple gems in there a couple that I thought

01:04:41.460 --> 01:04:44.519
you know that dog might ha ha yeah, that's funny

01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:49.340
So but now most of those no -go. Yeah. Yeah absolute

01:04:49.340 --> 01:04:52.360
pass moving us right along to the frozen guy

01:04:52.360 --> 01:04:55.659
frozen reveal That's right, and so I tried one

01:04:55.659 --> 01:04:59.780
recently, and I thought I reviewed it, and then

01:04:59.780 --> 01:05:01.719
as I went back, I'm like, nah, I don't think

01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:05.159
I did this. But I do tend to like this brand,

01:05:05.260 --> 01:05:09.639
so it's these Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers. And

01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:14.179
what store was that? Was it Walmart? Might have

01:05:14.179 --> 01:05:16.420
been Walmart. And they had really good deals

01:05:16.420 --> 01:05:19.699
on their frozen meals. Like, better than Meyer,

01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:21.440
better than Strax. I'm like, wow, I didn't know

01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:24.190
their stuff was so cheap here. Like literally

01:05:24.190 --> 01:05:26.829
by like 50 cents a unit sounds like oh, that's

01:05:26.829 --> 01:05:28.889
significant and like not like a sale stuff because

01:05:28.889 --> 01:05:31.010
Walmart doesn't do a lot of sales Yeah, so I

01:05:31.010 --> 01:05:32.889
was like, oh, that's kind of cool So I picked

01:05:32.889 --> 01:05:36.590
up this cafe steamers and that's by healthy choice

01:05:36.590 --> 01:05:40.349
and I picked up a four cheese ravioli and chicken

01:05:40.349 --> 01:05:43.670
marinara It's ravioli filled with spinach ricotta

01:05:43.670 --> 01:05:47.110
asiago parmesan and Romano cheeses with grilled

01:05:47.110 --> 01:05:50.869
chicken breast and a marinara sauce top with

01:05:50.869 --> 01:05:53.440
parmesan cheese That sounds pretty damn wonderful.

01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:58.219
The sauce hold up. It did. It did. It was not.

01:05:58.659 --> 01:06:01.639
It was not a thick sauce, but I don't think it

01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:06.320
was supposed to be like everything. I like the

01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:09.679
raviolis were kind of small. OK, but there were

01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:13.619
six or seven of them. And plus the chicken, which

01:06:13.619 --> 01:06:15.380
was like white chunk chicken, which is fine,

01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:17.559
but no seasoning on the chicken. So you really

01:06:17.559 --> 01:06:23.010
kind of had to, you know, use. the sauce, you

01:06:23.010 --> 01:06:26.570
know, or eat it with the ravioli. But I thought

01:06:26.570 --> 01:06:31.289
the quantity was good, it was light, and I think

01:06:31.289 --> 01:06:35.329
how much, it was 17 grams of protein, 250 calories,

01:06:35.469 --> 01:06:38.210
no preservatives. Oh, that's solid. So like,

01:06:38.530 --> 01:06:40.190
that's, if you're gonna eat a frozen meal, not

01:06:40.190 --> 01:06:42.449
too bad. Yeah. I think I got it under three bucks.

01:06:43.590 --> 01:06:45.469
That's pretty significant. I think I got it under

01:06:45.469 --> 01:06:47.570
three, yeah. And you said the quantity was good.

01:06:47.570 --> 01:06:50.539
Yeah, oh, for sure. Anyway, yeah, it was good.

01:06:50.539 --> 01:06:55.480
It was very tasty. So Yeah at any at any rate

01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:59.639
I'd probably throw an eight one on that eight

01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:02.539
one. Yeah, that's solid for what you said 290

01:07:02.539 --> 01:07:06.639
if yeah I for the quantity were just a tad bit

01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:08.780
more I think it would have been in the high eights

01:07:08.780 --> 01:07:10.840
So I think the quantity affected that but like

01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:13.039
as far as a meal how it tasted like I said the

01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:16.059
chicken I think it needed to be seasoned somehow

01:07:16.059 --> 01:07:19.289
a little bit. Yeah But overall, like, it was

01:07:19.289 --> 01:07:21.809
good. I'd get it again. I liked it. Solid. Yeah.

01:07:22.070 --> 01:07:25.030
Hell yeah. We will be back in one second's time

01:07:25.030 --> 01:07:35.610
for a little You Just Made the List. Aidan Maloney

01:07:35.610 --> 01:07:39.429
and Mark Maloney. Hello. Are so back. We are.

01:07:39.949 --> 01:07:43.929
Just Made the List. As you call it, the feature

01:07:43.929 --> 01:07:46.590
segment. Feature segment, baby. The big one.

01:07:46.730 --> 01:07:51.030
The top 10 list of all time. This week, we're

01:07:51.030 --> 01:07:54.789
delving into something we've touched on before,

01:07:55.010 --> 01:07:56.929
because we like talking about music. We like

01:07:56.929 --> 01:08:00.489
talking about cars. We've done lists of probably

01:08:00.489 --> 01:08:03.650
hundreds and hundreds of things by this point.

01:08:04.070 --> 01:08:08.070
But this one I thought would be fun to do. Our

01:08:08.070 --> 01:08:14.150
top 10 favorite cars pre -2000. Before the year

01:08:14.150 --> 01:08:17.930
2000, best cars. In our opinion, we'll run 10

01:08:17.930 --> 01:08:20.510
through 2, save our big number one reveal, for

01:08:20.510 --> 01:08:24.210
the end. And thank fuck for this part, there's

01:08:24.210 --> 01:08:28.670
no rules. Ah, I like that. That's good. No rules.

01:08:29.010 --> 01:08:32.689
My favorite rule. Would you like to start your

01:08:32.689 --> 01:08:36.130
10 through 2? I would like to start my 10 through

01:08:36.130 --> 01:08:39.890
2. Alright, 10 through 2, and these are... Best

01:08:39.890 --> 01:08:43.989
cars before the year 2000. Before the year 2000.

01:08:44.569 --> 01:08:48.109
I've got a couple tootry. All right, here we

01:08:48.109 --> 01:08:54.569
go. Number 10, the 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Now,

01:08:54.609 --> 01:08:58.909
ooh, there was a time in the 90s, 80s, when Jeep

01:08:58.909 --> 01:09:00.810
Wranglers had a certain look, a certain feel,

01:09:00.829 --> 01:09:05.970
I liked them a lot. And I really like this one,

01:09:06.050 --> 01:09:08.649
a friend of mine had, I don't know if he had

01:09:08.649 --> 01:09:12.039
the 90s, no, he didn't have the 97. It might

01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:14.439
have been a 93 or 94 but even so like it was

01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:17.279
just it was great Just such a fun car to drive

01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:21.140
and that that was the era too in the United States

01:09:21.140 --> 01:09:24.180
when SUVs were special now Everyone's got an

01:09:24.180 --> 01:09:28.260
SUV or a truck, but SUVs were special. Yeah in

01:09:28.260 --> 01:09:35.000
in the 90s. Mm -hmm number nine Is 1973 Cadillac

01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:38.399
Coupe de Ville. Oh, that's a gorgeous car it

01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:43.550
was I don't know, I feel like the 60s and 70s

01:09:43.550 --> 01:09:46.449
really ushered in what was called the luxury

01:09:46.449 --> 01:09:49.619
car. So, if you were kind of that upper middle

01:09:49.619 --> 01:09:51.920
class guy and you could scooch up to a Coupe

01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:54.359
de Ville, you were the shit, man. And the thing

01:09:54.359 --> 01:09:57.840
was a boat. I forget, like, how many cubic inches,

01:09:57.859 --> 01:10:00.640
like, the motor, like, it was just... Massive.

01:10:00.779 --> 01:10:04.180
It was massive that they hauled. So, the cars

01:10:04.180 --> 01:10:06.359
were just amazing. And this thing was about,

01:10:06.380 --> 01:10:08.100
like, you could fit a family of six or seven

01:10:08.100 --> 01:10:11.260
in a car. So, that says a lot. The car is meaningful,

01:10:11.380 --> 01:10:13.760
too, because Afro Man sang about it. Oh, yeah.

01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.609
What's the song called? Crazy Rap? Mmm, or something

01:10:17.609 --> 01:10:22.550
like that. Yeah, call 45 and two zigzags He does

01:10:22.550 --> 01:10:24.949
mention the Cadillac Coupe de Ville you got to

01:10:24.949 --> 01:10:29.630
man. It was a ride Number eight the 1986 Lamborghini

01:10:29.630 --> 01:10:36.970
contact. Oh, yeah, LP 500 Quattro Volvo was Just

01:10:36.970 --> 01:10:40.329
gorgeous. Yeah that the quintessential was that

01:10:40.329 --> 01:10:43.140
a sports car or a supercar? at that point. Dude,

01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:46.840
well it was a sports car but it was like, when

01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:48.899
you were a kid and you'd go to Spencer's or something

01:10:48.899 --> 01:10:51.520
and there was like a poster and it was some bikini

01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:53.579
babe or whatever and you threw it up in your

01:10:53.579 --> 01:10:56.220
room or whatever. Yeah. Nine times out of ten

01:10:56.220 --> 01:10:58.140
they were on this car. Oh, I see. They're on

01:10:58.140 --> 01:11:00.060
it posing by it, whatever. Yeah. Because it's

01:11:00.060 --> 01:11:01.939
like, hey man, I'm cool, look at the chick, look

01:11:01.939 --> 01:11:04.239
at the car, yeah, I'm gonna get me one of those.

01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:08.760
Status symbol. No, but anyway. Neither the woman

01:11:08.760 --> 01:11:13.680
or the car. Boo. But anyway, that car was just

01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:18.300
a baller. 1965 Lincoln Continental. Oh, yeah.

01:11:18.300 --> 01:11:22.840
Had the suicide doors. Sadly, I think it was

01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:25.359
probably the car that Kennedy got killed in,

01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:27.600
I think was the Continental. Oh, that sounds

01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:29.840
right. The suicide doors, I think it was. Beautiful

01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:33.300
car, though. Absolutely gorgeous car. Number

01:11:33.300 --> 01:11:37.640
six, the 1977 Ford Bronco. Oh, is that the OJ

01:11:37.640 --> 01:11:43.060
one? No, no, no. 1977, it is the one more closely

01:11:43.060 --> 01:11:46.979
related when Ford decided to do the Bronco again

01:11:46.979 --> 01:11:49.359
with the grille and the headlights and everything,

01:11:49.939 --> 01:11:54.420
was more closely related to the older school

01:11:54.420 --> 01:11:59.119
Ford Bronco than it was the OJ Ford Bronco, which

01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:02.439
looked different. So, yeah, that Ford Bronco

01:12:02.439 --> 01:12:05.260
is pretty cool. And number five, the 1987 Buick

01:12:05.260 --> 01:12:08.819
Grand National. That's so great. Which, watch

01:12:08.819 --> 01:12:10.760
the Super Bowl from two years ago. Yeah, yep.

01:12:11.420 --> 01:12:15.640
That is a baller. And Buick made luxury cars,

01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:19.579
largely. Yeah. And when they came out with this

01:12:19.579 --> 01:12:22.600
Grand National, it was kind of like, yeah, it's

01:12:22.600 --> 01:12:26.399
luxury, but... You can put the pedal to the floor

01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:28.380
and this thing's gonna roll and it is sporty

01:12:28.380 --> 01:12:31.439
as fuck. The Buick Grand National is awesome.

01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:37.399
Yeah, it's a cool car. 1967 C2 Corvette. Oh,

01:12:37.399 --> 01:12:40.180
yeah. One of my favorite Corvettes by far. I

01:12:40.180 --> 01:12:43.239
mean, there's the Stingray of the 80s and 90s

01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:46.119
and it's kind of cool looking, but not top 10

01:12:46.119 --> 01:12:49.640
worthy in my opinion. The 67 Corvette, beautiful

01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:52.119
car. That's righteous. That's a good pick. Absolutely

01:12:52.119 --> 01:12:55.750
beautiful car. Number three, the 1977 Pontiac

01:12:55.750 --> 01:12:58.470
Firebird Trans Am. Oh, yeah. So for people that

01:12:58.470 --> 01:13:00.310
watch, like, Smokey and the Bear movies or that

01:13:00.310 --> 01:13:02.409
sort of stuff, it was a car that he drove, the

01:13:02.409 --> 01:13:04.449
black one with the big firebird on the hood,

01:13:04.729 --> 01:13:07.069
and every kid that went and got a Matchbox or

01:13:07.069 --> 01:13:08.649
Hot Wheels got that car. Yeah. Because it was

01:13:08.649 --> 01:13:11.329
like, yeah, that is the coolest car ever. That

01:13:11.329 --> 01:13:15.590
is an amazing vehicle. And number two, the 1991

01:13:15.590 --> 01:13:19.069
Chevy Camaro. Because I owned it. Oh, yeah. I

01:13:19.069 --> 01:13:23.590
had it. Yeah. T -Tops. I felt great. Felt great

01:13:23.590 --> 01:13:25.609
today. It was so low to the ground when I first

01:13:25.609 --> 01:13:27.510
got it. I'm like, oh my god, I'm sitting on the

01:13:27.510 --> 01:13:31.310
street. This is crazy. But it was like driving

01:13:31.310 --> 01:13:33.630
a magic carpet. Now I'm not going to tell you

01:13:33.630 --> 01:13:38.149
130 miles an hour on Tri -State. I may know someone

01:13:38.149 --> 01:13:40.909
that did that. I think you're past the statute

01:13:40.909 --> 01:13:43.350
of limitations. Oh, am I now? You can just say

01:13:43.350 --> 01:13:46.510
you did it. I went fast. And then I have my number

01:13:46.510 --> 01:13:47.909
one, which we'll reveal in a little bit. Hell

01:13:47.909 --> 01:13:51.020
yeah. I've got an interesting feeling what your

01:13:51.020 --> 01:13:53.979
number one might be. Yeah, I think you do. My

01:13:53.979 --> 01:13:59.060
number 10 best cars made pre -2000, in my opinion.

01:13:59.300 --> 01:14:05.060
Number 10, the 1995 Mazda MX -5 Miata. Oh, yeah.

01:14:05.060 --> 01:14:07.279
I've always been a fan of Miata's. They're just

01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:11.680
cute little sports cars. They're just built right,

01:14:12.199 --> 01:14:15.659
and they're quick, and they're light. And they've

01:14:15.659 --> 01:14:18.760
always been super streamlined. Yeah. Super aerodynamic.

01:14:18.939 --> 01:14:20.779
And these were the ones with the flip -up headlights.

01:14:22.699 --> 01:14:26.500
Oh, yeah. Those are cool. Yeah. Very fun. Number

01:14:26.500 --> 01:14:29.600
nine, I had to do it to them. I had to do it

01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:34.300
to them. Number nine, the 1990 Volvo 240 wagon.

01:14:36.439 --> 01:14:39.000
Oh, I had a friend that had that. Yeah. They're

01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:43.640
so... boxy and and cute Uh -huh, like I've always

01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:46.119
liked hatchbacks and wagons. I think they're

01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:49.199
like some of them are pretty ugly Excuse me.

01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:52.659
I think Ford Taurus made a wet the Ford Taurus

01:14:52.659 --> 01:14:57.060
wagon or something like that Super uggo But Volvo

01:14:57.060 --> 01:14:59.199
just made it a box and was like, yep, it's a

01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:04.020
car I think that's so fun. Yeah number eight.

01:15:04.020 --> 01:15:09.220
I also went early with mine a 1970 Corvette Stingray

01:15:10.339 --> 01:15:13.479
I think that that was just a gorgeous year and

01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:15.300
they've always had amazing engines in those.

01:15:15.300 --> 01:15:19.520
Yeah, I think it's amazing number seven the 1981

01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:23.819
DeLorean DMC 12 just an icon of a car. Oh, yeah,

01:15:23.960 --> 01:15:27.640
I don't think DeLorean really did shit else Besides

01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:29.699
that I think they went bankrupt or something

01:15:29.699 --> 01:15:34.239
like that But yeah, I love it number six the

01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:39.020
1984 Renault 5 turbo. I think it's a French car

01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:43.739
And it's just neat. Yeah. It's very neat -looking

01:15:43.739 --> 01:15:47.359
and looks super fun to drive. Number five, the

01:15:47.359 --> 01:15:51.939
1998 Toyota Supra. Ooh, yeah. Yeah, you want

01:15:51.939 --> 01:15:54.819
to talk tuner cars, Fast and the Furious before

01:15:54.819 --> 01:15:56.319
it became... I was about to say they mod the

01:15:56.319 --> 01:15:59.199
hell out of those. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the aftermarket

01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:02.439
scene for Supras and even Miata is massive. Yeah.

01:16:02.779 --> 01:16:08.060
Number four, the 1986 El Camino SS. Because if

01:16:08.060 --> 01:16:12.000
you put a tray on a car and a fat engine in it,

01:16:12.100 --> 01:16:14.979
I think it's cool. Oh, yeah, for sure You can

01:16:14.979 --> 01:16:17.880
both be a sedan and a pickup. Yeah, and the El

01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:21.880
Camino proved that. Oh, yeah number three same

01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:27.819

01:16:57.979 --> 01:17:00.680
one of the cooler cars in, if you remember, Gran

01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:03.960
Turismo 3 for the PS2. Yeah. That's one of the

01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:05.979
faster cars, I think, in that game, and it's

01:17:05.979 --> 01:17:09.359

01:17:30.659 --> 01:17:34.699
was a kid and I think I would do it. Yeah, I

01:17:34.699 --> 01:17:36.640

either do it or you don't right and the whole

01:17:43.619 --> 01:17:47.439
live for today kind of motto and You know, it's

01:17:47.439 --> 01:17:49.939
it's gonna be something something that will be

01:17:49.939 --> 01:17:52.460
considered for sure. It's an amazing car It is

01:17:52.460 --> 01:17:58.180

Shelby Cobra. Yeah, that's a good one. It's a

01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:05.380
good one. I think it's really good. The oldest

01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:10.380
one on my list. It is so stylish. I think it's

01:18:10.380 --> 01:18:14.380
a British American car. Yeah. But it's so cool.

01:18:14.500 --> 01:18:18.340
I think they put like a 440 horse engine in there.

01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:20.319
Yeah. And it's just this tiny lightweight thing

01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:24.539

dig it. That's good. That's a good car. Oh, yeah

01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:39.619
There's a movie about the Shelby with Matt Damon

01:18:39.619 --> 01:18:45.699

01:19:05.689 --> 01:19:07.750
if you're a gearhead, you like cars, you like

01:19:07.750 --> 01:19:10.069

01:19:12.029 --> 01:19:16.189
cool. Leading me to, while you were sleeping,

01:19:17.109 --> 01:19:19.350
something people shouldn't be sleeping on. be

01:19:19.350 --> 01:19:21.750
a YouTube channel, a movie, a show, a book, anything

01:19:21.750 --> 01:19:23.890
like that. I've got another YouTube channel to

01:19:23.890 --> 01:19:26.029
bring up because I watched one of their videos

01:19:26.029 --> 01:19:30.350
today and I thought it was quite amazing. Explosions

01:19:30.350 --> 01:19:32.970
and Fire is the name of the YouTube channel.

01:19:33.470 --> 01:19:39.310
It's this Australian content creator that specializes

01:19:39.310 --> 01:19:42.050
in chemistry. I think he's actually got a PhD

01:19:42.050 --> 01:19:46.449
in it. And he just makes videos. Building these

01:19:46.449 --> 01:19:48.829
compounds in his little shed in his backyard.

01:19:49.390 --> 01:19:52.189
Oh, yeah Just the explosive compounds and he's

01:19:52.189 --> 01:19:53.970
like, oh, yeah We just combine these three things

01:19:53.970 --> 01:19:56.869
together and makes a half hour video on it and

01:19:56.869 --> 01:20:00.350
it's so entertaining the dude is so funny Australians

01:20:00.350 --> 01:20:03.489
are just great content creators. I find some

01:20:03.489 --> 01:20:08.130
of his most popular videos is making white phosphorus

01:20:08.130 --> 01:20:13.310
Which I believe is one of the more dangerous

01:20:13.310 --> 01:20:17.569
chemicals to use in warfare, which is very scary

01:20:17.569 --> 01:20:20.689
that he just made it in his backyard shed. Wow.

01:20:20.850 --> 01:20:25.050
Just synthesized it. He's got videos about purifying

01:20:25.050 --> 01:20:30.489
hydrogen peroxide, making nitrogen trichloride,

01:20:30.770 --> 01:20:34.670
and the title of the video is a terrifying yellow

01:20:34.670 --> 01:20:38.210
abomination. Oh my gosh. Nitrogen trichloride.

01:20:39.829 --> 01:20:44.069
He's got videos recounting his time in academia

01:20:44.069 --> 01:20:48.649
and how PhDs are kind of a pain in the ass. And

01:20:48.649 --> 01:20:51.310
it's just incredible. He's got videos making

01:20:51.310 --> 01:20:54.750
anti -missile flares in his backyard. Wow, really.

01:20:55.890 --> 01:20:58.810
Like, this dude's just great. So yeah, check

01:20:58.810 --> 01:21:02.590
out Explosions and Fire on YouTube. Explosions

01:21:02.590 --> 01:21:05.050
and Fire. Explosions and Fire. That sounds fun,

01:21:05.050 --> 01:21:07.569
actually. It's a great watch. Yeah. It is a great

01:21:07.569 --> 01:21:12.449
watch. And no one should sleep on us. No. As

01:21:12.449 --> 01:21:15.409
we take a quick break and come back with a little

01:21:15.409 --> 01:21:18.189
beer review and maybe a little tear listing.

01:21:18.630 --> 01:21:22.590
Ooh, tear listing. Interesante. We're gonna list

01:21:22.590 --> 01:21:37.319
my tears? Oh, no. Welcome back. to the official

01:21:37.319 --> 01:21:42.239
beer review of the Mark Mo show. The only. The

01:21:42.239 --> 01:21:45.140
only Mark Mo show, the only official beer review

01:21:45.140 --> 01:21:47.880
of the Mark Mo show. Today we've got a special

01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:51.340
one that Mo himself has picked up for us. Yep.

01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:57.539
Zeviac Porter, straight out of Poland, 9 .5 %

01:21:57.539 --> 01:22:00.420
ABV, 45 % on the international bidders unit.

01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:04.630
Sounds like a treat already. It does. As the

01:22:04.630 --> 01:22:09.409
style guide goes, Giviet's Porter is a dark strong

01:22:09.409 --> 01:22:13.989
beer brewed to the traditional recipe from 1881

01:22:13.989 --> 01:22:17.609
with the Munich malt and special malts for carmel

01:22:17.609 --> 01:22:20.390
and color plus highest quality aromatic hops.

01:22:20.750 --> 01:22:22.869
Everything together creates a unique combination

01:22:22.869 --> 01:22:25.170
of taste. Production of this Porter was moved

01:22:25.170 --> 01:22:29.010
to Bracke Bauer in 2004. That sounds wonderful.

01:22:29.319 --> 01:22:32.039
Sounds great. We will be ranking this on a scale

01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:36.119
from 0 to 5. We're using the untapped apps on

01:22:36.119 --> 01:22:39.340
our cellular devices. Not sponsored, but I wish

01:22:39.340 --> 01:22:42.380
they would. And we'll give you some tasting notes

01:22:42.380 --> 01:22:45.039
and tell you what we think. We're drinking it

01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:47.319
straight out the bottle today. Indeed we are.

01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:52.399
A sluncha to you. Sluncha to you, sir. Oh, that's

01:22:52.399 --> 01:22:58.710
lovely. Oh, wow. Mmm. There's a little fruitiness

01:22:58.710 --> 01:23:02.529
in there. Oh for sure plums some kind of pit

01:23:02.529 --> 01:23:05.310
fruit Yeah, some kind of dark fruit in there

01:23:05.310 --> 01:23:09.949
very smooth. Yeah, very very smooth and honestly

01:23:09.949 --> 01:23:12.050
couldn't even tell you it's nine and a half percent

01:23:12.050 --> 01:23:14.989
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it's got a little coffee

01:23:14.989 --> 01:23:20.149
roasty bittery and it's got like a cocoa or dried

01:23:20.149 --> 01:23:24.649
fruit fruitiness sweetness to it. That is quite

01:23:24.649 --> 01:23:29.899
enjoyable Yeah, I really liked it. Smoother than

01:23:29.899 --> 01:23:34.039
I thought. Remarkably smooth. Yeah. Very full

01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:37.060
-bodied. God, that's fantastic. I definitely

01:23:37.060 --> 01:23:41.420
get the coffee notes. I like that. Yeah, the

01:23:41.420 --> 01:23:45.039
coffee bitterness, but not overwhelming. And

01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:49.039
there is a very acute pit fruit sweetness in

01:23:49.039 --> 01:23:51.880
there. Yeah. Oh, for sure. That is quite enjoyable.

01:23:52.180 --> 01:23:54.960
Yeah. Like it. I like it a lot. I'm going pretty

01:23:54.960 --> 01:23:57.319
high with this one and we did a porter last week

01:23:57.319 --> 01:24:02.680
as well Mm -hmm And as much as I enjoyed that

01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:05.119
Porter, I think I ranked it pretty highly if

01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:07.479
I remember right I think I'm going higher with

01:24:07.479 --> 01:24:11.100
this one. Oh, yeah, I really enjoy this I'm going

01:24:11.100 --> 01:24:14.520
four to five out of five. This is this is definitely

01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:18.119
in the elite tier of of Porters in my opinion.

01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:22.859
Yeah. Oh, yeah for sure. Hmm. That was good What

01:24:22.859 --> 01:24:25.380
are you thinking for it? Boy, oh boy. That is

01:24:25.380 --> 01:24:28.560
a question. I think... Yeah, I think I'm going

01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:31.479
to four. Four? Hell yeah. I think I'm going four.

01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:34.800
I really liked it. Double elite tier. No doubt.

01:24:35.199 --> 01:24:37.180
Is a rare occurrence on the Mark Mo Show, so

01:24:37.180 --> 01:24:39.560
it must be meaningful. Must be meaningful indeed.

01:24:40.340 --> 01:24:43.000
On the flavor profiles on the app, I click coffee,

01:24:43.119 --> 01:24:47.340
smooth and dark. I agree with all that. I added

01:24:47.340 --> 01:24:50.279
fruity to mine. Yeah, that's good. Coffee, smooth,

01:24:50.500 --> 01:24:53.979
dark. full -bodied, fruity. I didn't consider

01:24:53.979 --> 01:24:57.300
it strong, per se, for a dark porter beer like

01:24:57.300 --> 01:25:01.699
that. But it feels full. It feels full of flavor.

01:25:01.899 --> 01:25:05.479
It's not watery, like some porters could be.

01:25:05.579 --> 01:25:07.939
It's not overly bitter. They didn't lean too

01:25:07.939 --> 01:25:10.699
heavy into the coffee notes. And it's not the

01:25:10.699 --> 01:25:14.699
same bitterness you get from an IPA. And I find

01:25:14.699 --> 01:25:18.720
that an interesting distinction, because when

01:25:18.720 --> 01:25:21.500
we rank these beers, we always tell... what the

01:25:21.500 --> 01:25:24.119
ABV is and what the IBU is, the International

01:25:24.119 --> 01:25:28.079
Bitters Unit, and Porter and Stout bitterness

01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:31.560
is so distinctly different than IPA bitterness.

01:25:31.819 --> 01:25:35.859
And this is an excellent proof of that, where

01:25:35.859 --> 01:25:41.079
it's 45, I think I said. It was on the IBU. And

01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:45.239
it's just like a wholesome coffee -ness. Fruity

01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:50.739
kind of coffee flavor. Liked it good stuff. Yeah,

01:25:50.739 --> 01:25:56.039
I agree Well with a tasty porter in our gullet

01:25:56.039 --> 01:25:59.500
yummy, we're doing a little tier listing today

01:25:59.500 --> 01:26:03.380
a little segment from my old days that We like

01:26:03.380 --> 01:26:05.439
to crack out sometimes because making a tier

01:26:05.439 --> 01:26:09.340
list is just a fun thing to do. Yeah This week's

01:26:09.340 --> 01:26:13.800
tier list is revolving around entertainment pretty

01:26:13.800 --> 01:26:16.819
broad category. A lot of things can qualify as

01:26:16.819 --> 01:26:20.000
entertainment. So I picked 15. On a whim, the

01:26:20.000 --> 01:26:23.159
first 15 forms of entertainment I thought of.

01:26:23.260 --> 01:26:26.140
OK. And we're going to be ranking them. I'm going

01:26:26.140 --> 01:26:30.220
to kind of be presenting this to Mark Mo for

01:26:30.220 --> 01:26:34.979
Mark Mo to rank. I love that. And I'll interject

01:26:34.979 --> 01:26:38.300
if I feel it wise. Very good. It'll be on a scale

01:26:38.300 --> 01:26:42.380
from F being the worst of the worst. The worst.

01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:46.000
Of the worst. D being bad, C being mid, B being

01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:48.979
good, A being great, and S being the best of

01:26:48.979 --> 01:26:53.899
the best. Superior! Absolutely. Let's start off

01:26:53.899 --> 01:26:56.720
this entertainment focused tier list with going

01:26:56.720 --> 01:27:00.880
to a ballpark slash gridiron. Going to a ballpark,

01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:05.159
uh... That is fun. Watching a little baseball,

01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:07.960
watching a little football. It's fun. That definitely

01:27:07.960 --> 01:27:10.619
brings joy. Well, unless your team gets their

01:27:10.619 --> 01:27:13.180
ass kicked, that's not fun. Yeah. But overall,

01:27:13.300 --> 01:27:17.800
the day is usually good. I would probably...

01:27:17.800 --> 01:27:21.439
I'd probably put that in A tier. A tier? Yeah.

01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:24.399
Would get S if things like that were more affordable.

01:27:24.680 --> 01:27:26.979
Sure. But I think A tier is good. That's totally

01:27:26.979 --> 01:27:30.979
fair. Next one down, scrolling social media.

01:27:31.539 --> 01:27:36.060
Hmm. Boy, that's a tough one. Because there are...

01:27:36.060 --> 01:27:40.260
Okay, so... That is a tough one. Yeah, I'm trying

01:27:40.260 --> 01:27:44.539
to think of I'm trying to think of the various

01:27:44.539 --> 01:27:46.520
ones. I go on the most I'm actually grabbing

01:27:46.520 --> 01:27:52.939
my phone right now so so threads I feel More

01:27:52.939 --> 01:27:55.819
than any more any of the social media I have

01:27:55.819 --> 01:27:59.479
been able to tweak to the point where everything

01:27:59.479 --> 01:28:03.539
in my thread is my interest everything You've

01:28:03.539 --> 01:28:06.140
been able to game the algorithm. I have. Yeah.

01:28:06.140 --> 01:28:09.659
Threads is literally everything I enjoy. It's

01:28:09.659 --> 01:28:14.039
been great. Like I'd say one out of 40 is something

01:28:14.039 --> 01:28:15.800
I don't like. That's a pretty good percentage.

01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:18.220
It's a good ratio. That's a good ratio. So I

01:28:18.220 --> 01:28:21.619
think Threads does an excellent job. Facebook,

01:28:22.100 --> 01:28:26.399
not so much. My issue with Facebook is more timing.

01:28:27.060 --> 01:28:29.579
So like, for example, I'll pull up Facebook.

01:28:30.010 --> 01:28:31.989
And I scroll in my feed, and there's something

01:28:31.989 --> 01:28:33.510
four days ago, two days ago. I'm like, well,

01:28:33.550 --> 01:28:35.409
I would have loved to have known that. Right.

01:28:35.710 --> 01:28:37.529
And I didn't know, because they don't do things

01:28:37.529 --> 01:28:39.970
chronologically. Yeah, they do it suggestion

01:28:39.970 --> 01:28:42.409
-based. And I don't like that. Ever since they

01:28:42.409 --> 01:28:45.750
made that change, I've not walked back onto Facebook.

01:28:45.770 --> 01:28:47.449
Terrible. Yeah, it's terrible. If a friend posts

01:28:47.449 --> 01:28:50.550
an event, that's what I want to see. Yeah. That's

01:28:50.550 --> 01:28:53.449
what I want to see in my feed, and I don't see

01:28:53.449 --> 01:28:55.010
it until days later. I'm like, god damn it, I

01:28:55.010 --> 01:28:57.539
miss that. Right. So Facebook, you're... fucking

01:28:57.539 --> 01:29:00.840
stupid for that. Which is weird because they

01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:06.199
own threads. Right. Twitter, oddly enough, I

01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:08.319
think recently has gotten a little bit better

01:29:08.319 --> 01:29:10.859
in me being able to weed certain things out.

01:29:11.159 --> 01:29:14.380
So I'd say it's about not as good as threads,

01:29:14.380 --> 01:29:18.060
but it's more like 60, 40, close to maybe 70,

01:29:18.060 --> 01:29:21.260
30, where it's mostly stuff I like. And then

01:29:21.260 --> 01:29:23.600
some stuff, if it irritates me enough, I'll be

01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:25.239
like, I don't want to see this boom, bam, bam,

01:29:25.380 --> 01:29:29.729
they suck. But they're a little better, oddly

01:29:29.729 --> 01:29:32.590
enough, with the idiot running it. So that part's

01:29:32.590 --> 01:29:36.050
not so terrible. Insta's Insta. I don't think

01:29:36.050 --> 01:29:38.270
that's influenced one way or the other. I think

01:29:38.270 --> 01:29:40.670
it's just about the people that you follow and

01:29:40.670 --> 01:29:42.489
the content that they're posting at the time.

01:29:43.829 --> 01:29:46.630
Maybe a little bit too much ad base. Like sometimes

01:29:46.630 --> 01:29:48.250
I'll see things like, I don't know that person.

01:29:48.409 --> 01:29:50.409
I don't know that business with that. So a little

01:29:50.409 --> 01:29:54.560
bit too much of that. I think that needs to lessen.

01:29:54.880 --> 01:29:56.800
I don't know if they have like an Insta Plus

01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:59.659
where you can pay per month and not see those

01:29:59.659 --> 01:30:01.640
and I can just see the people that I follow.

01:30:02.079 --> 01:30:07.779
That would be lovely. So looking at all of that

01:30:07.779 --> 01:30:10.579
and then there's Snap and Snap's just Snap. Yeah.

01:30:10.859 --> 01:30:13.720
And there's nothing extraordinary about it. It's

01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:16.279
just your friends taking a photo in a place in

01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:19.279
a moment. and sometimes it's fun and funny, and

01:30:19.279 --> 01:30:21.300
sometimes you're like, oh, they're at the coffeehouse,

01:30:21.300 --> 01:30:23.300
cool. And then you just kind of move along. Yeah,

01:30:23.340 --> 01:30:26.840
it's more akin to instant messaging photography.

01:30:27.539 --> 01:30:31.060
Yeah, right, exactly. So, all right, so to fast

01:30:31.060 --> 01:30:32.819
forward, I guess, now that I've taken all this

01:30:32.819 --> 01:30:38.739
time, I would probably put it at a C. So some

01:30:38.739 --> 01:30:42.180
bad, some good. C's gotta be where it is. That's

01:30:42.180 --> 01:30:44.859
totally fair. Because it is such a complex thing.

01:30:45.060 --> 01:30:47.880
So complex. It's so easy just to doom scroll

01:30:47.880 --> 01:30:50.199
for an hour and be like, wow, where'd the time

01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:52.680
go? Right. And sometimes you get like that funny

01:30:52.680 --> 01:30:54.359
clip makes you giggle. Right. And then I go,

01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:56.060
oh my god, so and so would love to see that.

01:30:56.260 --> 01:30:58.819
Or it would make them happy. And so I get to

01:30:58.819 --> 01:31:00.819
send that along. Facebook, I'm going to tell

01:31:00.819 --> 01:31:03.300
you the best thing about it. Tells me when someone's

01:31:03.300 --> 01:31:05.680
birthday is. Yeah. End of story. They should

01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:08.619
just call it birthday. Because, like, literally

01:31:08.619 --> 01:31:11.520
when someone has a birthday or whatever, then

01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:14.079
I can do that. Oh, by the way, LinkedIn is shit.

01:31:14.359 --> 01:31:17.100
LinkedIn is awful. It's dog shit. I mean, somebody's

01:31:17.100 --> 01:31:19.260
got to come up with some other version of that.

01:31:19.640 --> 01:31:21.460
I think originally the original idea for it was

01:31:21.460 --> 01:31:23.880
good. Now it's shit. Half the jobs on there are

01:31:23.880 --> 01:31:27.020
shit. It's awful. Yeah, I agree. Scrolling social

01:31:27.020 --> 01:31:30.119
media gets a C. How about watching movies at

01:31:30.119 --> 01:31:33.859
the cinema? That's s -tier. That's your speciality

01:31:33.859 --> 01:31:36.020
right there. That's s -tier, man, because look,

01:31:36.520 --> 01:31:38.539
are we paying too much at the theater? Yeah,

01:31:38.539 --> 01:31:40.560
we are. Can you go on special days where you

01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:43.500
pay less? Yeah, you can go and it's better. Yeah.

01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:47.199
But I love the fact you can go there. Now they

01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:49.880
have the big comfy seats. Oh, yeah. So even though

01:31:49.880 --> 01:31:51.359
you're paying more, you're getting a big comfy

01:31:51.359 --> 01:31:53.039
seat, which for a late movie is bad for me because

01:31:53.039 --> 01:31:55.979
I'm going to bed. Yeah. But I love the big comfy

01:31:55.979 --> 01:31:59.500
seats. Theater popcorn, there's something about

01:31:59.500 --> 01:32:01.720
it. It's just better than all other popcorn.

01:32:01.880 --> 01:32:04.100
It's built different. It's built different, man.

01:32:04.439 --> 01:32:06.359
And I know like the buttery topping, and there's

01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:08.880
like almost no butter in it. I get that. Whatever

01:32:08.880 --> 01:32:11.720
it is, I love it. And a little bit of salt, get

01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:14.380
a big old bucket, something to drink. And now

01:32:14.380 --> 01:32:17.420
they've got all these other new snacks. My friend

01:32:17.420 --> 01:32:19.500
Castree actually went there and just told me

01:32:19.500 --> 01:32:24.310
she had edamame. Which I've been eating. So obviously

01:32:24.310 --> 01:32:27.149
this person's had influence on my life In a good

01:32:27.149 --> 01:32:29.869
way, but yeah, like she got edamame at the movie

01:32:29.869 --> 01:32:33.590
theater I went on a birthday to the movies friends

01:32:33.590 --> 01:32:35.270
were gonna surprise me with what we were seeing

01:32:35.270 --> 01:32:38.510
and we ended up seeing Taylor Swift's heiress

01:32:38.510 --> 01:32:40.750
tour now nothing gets tete I think she's great.

01:32:40.750 --> 01:32:43.050
She treats her people great. I love her not my

01:32:43.050 --> 01:32:45.609
music Yeah per se like there's two or three songs

01:32:45.609 --> 01:32:48.229
of hers. I really like the rest. It's like whatever

01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:50.640
Lyrically, she's very good. She's strong. I get

01:32:50.640 --> 01:32:53.579
why she writes what she writes. But like, I wouldn't

01:32:53.579 --> 01:32:56.460
have picked that. They kind of picked it on purpose.

01:32:57.140 --> 01:33:00.600
And the bar, I went and had just a pre -beer

01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:04.279
at the bar in the movie theater. Well, no, in

01:33:04.279 --> 01:33:06.199
the movie theater comes later. I was there early

01:33:06.199 --> 01:33:08.319
and had one at the bar. And that's when the guy

01:33:08.319 --> 01:33:12.100
informed me, hey, we can bring you beer in the

01:33:12.100 --> 01:33:14.760
theater. I said, what? And he told me how I could

01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:17.359
schedule. Like pay in advance for whatever I'm

01:33:17.359 --> 01:33:19.699
getting. Yeah. And schedule them to bring them

01:33:19.699 --> 01:33:22.460
at the time I want. That's so cool. I was like,

01:33:22.619 --> 01:33:26.439
great. I want a double Buffalo Trace every 15

01:33:26.439 --> 01:33:30.500
minutes. And that's exactly what they did. And

01:33:30.500 --> 01:33:33.619
I was drunk as fuck by the end of that show.

01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:36.479
And I was like dancing and moving around. They're

01:33:36.479 --> 01:33:38.239
like, I didn't know you liked Taylor so much.

01:33:38.340 --> 01:33:40.819
I'm like, I know what I'm really wasting. This

01:33:40.819 --> 01:33:44.829
is a great birthday present. I love me some movie

01:33:44.829 --> 01:33:46.930
theaters man, I love it. It's stories like that

01:33:46.930 --> 01:33:50.289
that explain the S tier. It really does, it really

01:33:50.289 --> 01:33:54.270
does. Next form of entertainment, going to a

01:33:54.270 --> 01:34:00.229
concert. Oh man, oh gosh. Which is tough in the...

01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:02.739
Ticketmaster Live Nation era. Right, because

01:34:02.739 --> 01:34:05.079
fuck them. I mean, they're absolutely the worst.

01:34:05.100 --> 01:34:09.199
Tickets are $700. How can some billionaire, who

01:34:09.199 --> 01:34:11.920
isn't an asshole, come up with a company that

01:34:11.920 --> 01:34:15.560
sells tickets to events with like a small $2

01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:19.119
.85 surcharge and just charges people for the

01:34:19.119 --> 01:34:22.939
ticket? Right. Why can't that exist? It can exist.

01:34:23.159 --> 01:34:25.520
Should exist. If I were a billionaire, I would

01:34:25.520 --> 01:34:27.399
do it. I'd be like, I'm done with those guys.

01:34:27.460 --> 01:34:31.239
Here's my company. Who's going to use it? But

01:34:31.239 --> 01:34:34.779
that aside, that frustrating part aside, I love

01:34:34.779 --> 01:34:38.159
live shows. I love live music. I went to Riot

01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:40.420
Fest last year. I'm going again this year without

01:34:40.420 --> 01:34:43.319
question. If people want to come with me, great.

01:34:43.420 --> 01:34:45.739
If they don't, I went by myself. I made friends.

01:34:45.819 --> 01:34:49.199
I had a great time. And the music was spectacular.

01:34:51.100 --> 01:34:54.079
S tier. I love live shows. S tier. A second S

01:34:54.079 --> 01:34:57.399
tier. I love it. next one down playing video

01:34:57.399 --> 01:35:02.840
games cathartic um and then it's it's kind of

01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:05.159
what reading a book was in the 90s it's like

01:35:05.159 --> 01:35:08.340
that today because a lot of times i don't have

01:35:08.340 --> 01:35:10.819
time to read a book mind you my eyes don't like

01:35:10.819 --> 01:35:12.380
reading a book because a print's usually very

01:35:12.380 --> 01:35:14.260
small and it's just it's a pain in the ass for

01:35:14.260 --> 01:35:18.720
me personally to read read anything sure um so

01:35:19.240 --> 01:35:21.819
I love a video game, man, you know? And if I'm

01:35:21.819 --> 01:35:26.119
on there, call it duty, GTA 5, and I've had a

01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:29.899
long day, and I'm blowing shit up, and I'm stealing

01:35:29.899 --> 01:35:33.680
cars, and I'm ditching cops, and just like an

01:35:33.680 --> 01:35:35.319
hour of that, and I'm good, now I want to go

01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:38.359
in the kitchen and eat some meat. I love it.

01:35:38.640 --> 01:35:42.600
And it is a totally valid art form. There are

01:35:42.600 --> 01:35:45.439
so many single -player, story -based games that

01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:55.060
are just thrilling. 100%. 100%. I would say A.

01:35:55.420 --> 01:35:58.699
A? A. I'm going to interject my authority here.

01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:01.640
Oh, shit, okay. And I'm gonna go A+. Okay, I'll

01:36:01.640 --> 01:36:03.840
give it A+. I'm adding a plus. Okay, that's fair.

01:36:04.500 --> 01:36:08.680
Watching sports on TV rather than at the field.

01:36:09.079 --> 01:36:11.199
Also good, and it depends where you're watching.

01:36:11.340 --> 01:36:13.789
Like, I can watch from home. And when I watch

01:36:13.789 --> 01:36:17.229
at home, it's more white noise. Like I can sit

01:36:17.229 --> 01:36:19.449
there, but if I'm comfy on a Sunday afternoon,

01:36:19.789 --> 01:36:20.850
probably going to doze off at some point. You're

01:36:20.850 --> 01:36:23.970
snoozing. You're snoozing. Yeah. But if I'm at

01:36:23.970 --> 01:36:26.930
the bar and I'm watching the Bears, I'm pumped.

01:36:26.949 --> 01:36:28.569
I'm into it. There's other people there that

01:36:28.569 --> 01:36:31.670
I know. And it's almost like being live at the

01:36:31.670 --> 01:36:33.970
game sometimes when you're there with other people.

01:36:34.409 --> 01:36:42.399
I love watching. Oh, man. Man, I'm about to give

01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:46.000
another A. Yeah. Another A? Yeah. It is a fun

01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:49.819
watch. It is a fun watch. Moves us right along.

01:36:50.420 --> 01:36:55.640
Strip club. Now that I have money, and I had

01:36:55.640 --> 01:36:58.699
to start it with that, before it would have been

01:36:58.699 --> 01:37:01.560
like, almost like an incomplete grade because

01:37:01.560 --> 01:37:03.739
it's like, I don't have money for that. I'm like,

01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:06.760
what am I doing? Like not applicable. But now

01:37:06.760 --> 01:37:10.220
I do. And being a single guy who apparently is

01:37:10.220 --> 01:37:14.100
going to be single until he dies, there are some

01:37:14.100 --> 01:37:17.199
forms of entertainment that become necessary

01:37:17.199 --> 01:37:21.699
from time to time. I have had adventures in the

01:37:21.699 --> 01:37:25.560
past at strip clubs that were more funny than

01:37:25.560 --> 01:37:28.060
anything, believe it or not. The stories and

01:37:28.060 --> 01:37:30.760
things that happen are hilarious. I love it.

01:37:30.899 --> 01:37:33.909
It's a lot of fun. I think especially if you

01:37:33.909 --> 01:37:36.369
go there with a certain mindset that, you know,

01:37:36.390 --> 01:37:38.149
they're just entertainers. They're making a buck.

01:37:38.189 --> 01:37:40.649
Yeah. You know, no different than a server or

01:37:40.649 --> 01:37:43.369
a bartender or anything like that. They're just

01:37:43.369 --> 01:37:46.430
sexier and they have less clothing on. Service

01:37:46.430 --> 01:37:47.970
work is service work. Yeah. As a matter of fact,

01:37:48.050 --> 01:37:49.770
one of my friends, she went there the other night,

01:37:49.770 --> 01:37:51.310
you know, and just like, yeah, I don't know how

01:37:51.310 --> 01:37:54.710
I ended up here, but I ended up there. Yeah,

01:37:54.710 --> 01:37:56.850
it's kind of one of those places where you say

01:37:56.850 --> 01:37:59.789
I don't know how I ended up here sure But you

01:37:59.789 --> 01:38:02.170
do and you make the best of it you have fun And

01:38:02.170 --> 01:38:03.970
if you're in the right mindset and having a good

01:38:03.970 --> 01:38:06.789
time then the girls have a good time So I'd say

01:38:06.789 --> 01:38:11.149
a solid B be a solid B. Excellent a ends up in

01:38:11.149 --> 01:38:14.789
the good tier. Mm -hmm Next one down is watching

01:38:14.789 --> 01:38:22.069
YouTube videos. I do like that and I like the

01:38:22.069 --> 01:38:26.579
fact that you subscribe to certain things you

01:38:26.579 --> 01:38:30.060
can you can go to your subscriptions and then

01:38:30.060 --> 01:38:32.239
it's just the stuff that you're following right

01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:34.800
right which I like so it's not like I have to

01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:38.039
go through stuff to get to stuff I really want

01:38:38.039 --> 01:38:40.939
so I suppose as a social media side of things

01:38:40.939 --> 01:38:44.189
like YouTube's pretty good for that. Yeah, these

01:38:44.189 --> 01:38:45.689
are who I'm following. This is what I want Oh,

01:38:45.689 --> 01:38:47.750
yeah, just click on your subscription tab and

01:38:47.750 --> 01:38:49.649
then your stuff comes up right and when it's

01:38:49.649 --> 01:38:51.489
got some new content It's got a little dot by

01:38:51.489 --> 01:38:53.470
it and you're like, oh something new and then

01:38:53.470 --> 01:38:56.390
I can just click on it So I do love the ease

01:38:56.390 --> 01:39:00.449
of that very very much I feel like even the recommended

01:39:00.449 --> 01:39:03.270
tab of similar content that you're not subscribed

01:39:03.270 --> 01:39:07.250
to it's getting better Yeah, slowly, but surely

01:39:07.250 --> 01:39:12.449
so where like the Facebook suggested Timeline

01:39:12.449 --> 01:39:17.250
right and the Instagram constant ad berate Seem

01:39:17.250 --> 01:39:19.310
to be getting worse by the day. Yeah, I've always

01:39:19.310 --> 01:39:21.789
felt like YouTube's recommendations the more

01:39:21.789 --> 01:39:24.510
content I watch that I want to watch Yeah, it

01:39:24.510 --> 01:39:28.069
does hone in and recommend similar things rather

01:39:28.069 --> 01:39:31.510
than doing the opposite. Yep. Oh, yeah, I agree

01:39:31.510 --> 01:39:35.630
with that I Give it. I don't know man. Cuz then

01:39:35.630 --> 01:39:37.810
I just feel like I haven't had TV TV in a while

01:39:37.850 --> 01:39:39.649
because I haven't had the internet, so I'll probably

01:39:39.649 --> 01:39:42.630
be getting that back next month. But not having

01:39:42.630 --> 01:39:47.050
it, I got into the YouTube more. So there are

01:39:47.050 --> 01:39:48.890
some I really do like, and then, you know, when

01:39:48.890 --> 01:39:51.630
you're watching them, like our show is short

01:39:51.630 --> 01:39:54.289
of two hours. Sometimes an hour and a half, closer

01:39:54.289 --> 01:39:57.050
to two most times. Most shows aren't that long.

01:39:57.189 --> 01:40:01.189
Most shows are 30 to 45 minutes. And that's kind

01:40:01.189 --> 01:40:04.409
of perfect from a timing perspective with a lot

01:40:04.409 --> 01:40:06.670
of the ones that I watch. Right, depending, right?

01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:11.420
Like a lot of the edutainment videos I watch

01:40:11.420 --> 01:40:14.720
always hit that sweet spot of like 45 minutes.

01:40:15.199 --> 01:40:16.859
And I'm like, it's enough. That is a sweet spot.

01:40:16.899 --> 01:40:18.859
Right. It's enough where you can fully explain

01:40:18.859 --> 01:40:21.199
what's going on. You can put it in layman's terms

01:40:21.199 --> 01:40:24.380
and you can make it entertaining to learn things.

01:40:24.439 --> 01:40:28.199
And I love that. Whereas in this podcast format

01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:31.460
that we do, I love the idea of people throwing

01:40:31.460 --> 01:40:35.789
us on during a road trip or listening when they're

01:40:35.789 --> 01:40:39.109
out gardening or something. Like it's not white

01:40:39.109 --> 01:40:41.949
noise necessarily, but it's something that you

01:40:41.949 --> 01:40:46.909
can be entertained by and learn things and thought

01:40:46.909 --> 01:40:49.930
provoking conversations. And you can do other

01:40:49.930 --> 01:40:53.329
things too. And I love that for us. I think it's

01:40:53.329 --> 01:40:55.890
awesome. Because I enjoy listening to podcasts

01:40:55.890 --> 01:40:58.609
as much as I enjoy making them. Yeah. Oh yeah.

01:40:58.810 --> 01:41:03.329
No doubt. B plus. B plus? I think I'm gonna have

01:41:03.329 --> 01:41:09.630
to authoritatively bring you up to an A on that

01:41:09.630 --> 01:41:12.890
one. So take that with a grain of salt, listeners.

01:41:13.489 --> 01:41:16.109
Mark Moe gave a B+. I am bringing it to an A

01:41:16.109 --> 01:41:21.949
because YouTube is easily 70 % of my entertainment

01:41:21.949 --> 01:41:28.470
on a daily. It's just, there's so much good stuff.

01:41:28.720 --> 01:41:31.920
Okay, there's so much good stuff. So I'm I'm

01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:33.859
authoritatively bringing it up, but you can take

01:41:33.859 --> 01:41:36.239
that with a grain of salt and we'll move on to

01:41:36.239 --> 01:41:42.239
this next one. Watching a play at a local theater.

01:41:43.539 --> 01:41:47.479
I don't do that much, but I do like it, especially

01:41:47.479 --> 01:41:50.399
if I know someone that's in it. I do like going

01:41:50.399 --> 01:41:52.979
to support the theater. When I was in Chicago,

01:41:52.979 --> 01:41:55.359
I did a little bit more, but they have kind of

01:41:55.359 --> 01:41:58.930
a vibrant theater whereas, you know, towns here

01:41:58.930 --> 01:42:00.829
in northwest Indiana, they're smaller and they

01:42:00.829 --> 01:42:04.449
have a much smaller theater scene. Right. But

01:42:04.449 --> 01:42:06.369
like theater in Chicago, I've definitely done

01:42:06.369 --> 01:42:09.710
that. I've seen Phantom of the Opera. I've seen,

01:42:09.890 --> 01:42:12.189
oh god, there's plenty of others that I've seen

01:42:12.189 --> 01:42:15.930
over time. Late Night Catechism, which is hilarious

01:42:15.930 --> 01:42:18.810
if you're Catholic and grew up in that. That

01:42:18.810 --> 01:42:22.029
was kind of a funny play. But I do like them.

01:42:22.329 --> 01:42:24.449
Just don't see them as much if I ever move back

01:42:24.449 --> 01:42:27.270
to the city. I think I would probably go more

01:42:27.270 --> 01:42:32.270
regularly I would probably give it a C plus C

01:42:32.270 --> 01:42:35.149
plus. I like that. I always found it a very fun

01:42:35.149 --> 01:42:38.590
art form It is a fun art form and I really I

01:42:38.590 --> 01:42:40.050
really like it a lot and especially when you

01:42:40.050 --> 01:42:42.869
go to those plays That are more interactive with

01:42:42.869 --> 01:42:45.130
the audience. It's it's hilarious. It's so much

01:42:45.130 --> 01:42:49.710
fun. It's fun It very much is next up here going

01:42:49.710 --> 01:42:54.470
to a museum Also something I love, something

01:42:54.470 --> 01:42:57.250
that, like when I go to the city, like I go to

01:42:57.250 --> 01:42:59.630
the city and I'm going like fun places, well

01:42:59.630 --> 01:43:01.810
I can't say the museum isn't a fun place, but

01:43:01.810 --> 01:43:04.250
fun places meaning like bars and restaurants

01:43:04.250 --> 01:43:06.949
and like things of that type of entertainment.

01:43:07.890 --> 01:43:10.409
And don't go to the museum much, but I love the

01:43:10.409 --> 01:43:14.369
museum. The Art Institute of Chicago is one of

01:43:14.369 --> 01:43:16.989
my favorite places. I can sit there and stare

01:43:16.989 --> 01:43:21.050
at stuff and just stare into it for... you know,

01:43:21.210 --> 01:43:23.989
so much time, and just love it. There's one room

01:43:23.989 --> 01:43:28.600
that has these... that has these stained glass

01:43:28.600 --> 01:43:30.479
windows, the stained glass window room, and it's

01:43:30.479 --> 01:43:33.020
like there are a lot of blues and stuff, and

01:43:33.020 --> 01:43:35.579
it's illuminated from the back side, so it's

01:43:35.579 --> 01:43:40.439
so great. And there have been times, because

01:43:40.439 --> 01:43:42.819
you can get food in the Art Institute, and I

01:43:42.819 --> 01:43:45.000
believe where that exhibit is, it's not far from

01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:47.739
the cafeteria. And when I take a lunch break,

01:43:47.739 --> 01:43:49.920
if I'm in there, I just sit across from them.

01:43:50.039 --> 01:43:52.220
I just look at them and hang out in there, because

01:43:52.220 --> 01:43:57.159
I really love it. I don't know if I'd go S -tier,

01:43:57.260 --> 01:44:01.420
but definitely A+. A+. I love museums. I've always

01:44:01.420 --> 01:44:05.199
loved the science museums. What is it, the Science

01:44:05.199 --> 01:44:09.239
Institute? Museum of Science and Industry. Yeah.

01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:12.239
So cool. That's really great. Indianapolis has

01:44:12.239 --> 01:44:15.279
a good science museum. There's a couple of other

01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:17.579
really good ones that I've been to, too. Aerospace

01:44:17.579 --> 01:44:20.800
Museum we went to in DC. Yes, we did. So fun.

01:44:21.199 --> 01:44:25.399
Well, yeah, and just seeing all of the different

01:44:25.399 --> 01:44:28.180
shuttles and the spacecraft, it's just awesome.

01:44:28.180 --> 01:44:30.560
It's beautiful. You look in those little capsules,

01:44:30.899 --> 01:44:33.590
there was a... Dude in there? It's like, oh my

01:44:33.590 --> 01:44:36.350
god. There's multiple dudes in there? Like, holy.

01:44:36.609 --> 01:44:39.970
I would have had claustrophobia, man. Oh, I get

01:44:39.970 --> 01:44:42.369
it bad. Oh, I would. Yeah, that would have been

01:44:42.369 --> 01:44:43.630
rough. As soon as that thing hit the water, I'd

01:44:43.630 --> 01:44:47.029
be like, get me out of here. Right. Next up,

01:44:47.510 --> 01:44:51.359
a fireworks show. Was much more fun when you

01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:53.779
guys were young because it was just part of like

01:44:53.779 --> 01:44:56.279
whatever we were at yeah It's fun at the ballpark

01:44:56.279 --> 01:44:57.979
like at the White Sox be like oh, yeah We're

01:44:57.979 --> 01:45:00.420
in a fireworks night or whatever And you know

01:45:00.420 --> 01:45:02.180
like they suck and they were probably gonna lose

01:45:02.180 --> 01:45:03.899
like it's like our the highlights gonna happen

01:45:03.899 --> 01:45:09.079
after the games are right right but I would say

01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:12.420
I'd say see it's not something like I would plan

01:45:12.420 --> 01:45:14.539
to go to but if it's happening It's like yeah,

01:45:14.539 --> 01:45:16.880
it's fine. Yeah, I agree. I can get down with

01:45:16.880 --> 01:45:22.039
that Comic Con or similar conventions? S. Full

01:45:22.039 --> 01:45:27.859
S? Didn't even hesitate. I, not going to those

01:45:27.859 --> 01:45:30.899
with you and Sarah has left a massive hole in

01:45:30.899 --> 01:45:34.220
my life. Those were so much fun when we go to

01:45:34.220 --> 01:45:36.920
those. And now Sarah lives like eight hours away,

01:45:37.020 --> 01:45:38.659
so there's no excuse we should be able to put

01:45:38.659 --> 01:45:42.890
one on the books here in the near future. I love

01:45:42.890 --> 01:45:44.810
them just being able to like see people that

01:45:44.810 --> 01:45:47.949
are in your favorite shows Meeting the illustrators

01:45:47.949 --> 01:45:50.430
and those in the comic books and things like

01:45:50.430 --> 01:45:53.649
that You just swag there that you don't normally

01:45:53.649 --> 01:45:56.789
find anywhere local artists local artists and

01:45:56.789 --> 01:45:59.289
then you're meeting people that like like all

01:45:59.289 --> 01:46:02.949
same shit you do and then all of the All the

01:46:02.949 --> 01:46:04.770
different presentations they do with the people

01:46:04.770 --> 01:46:06.949
that are in the movies and shows and stuff like

01:46:06.949 --> 01:46:11.010
that We saw what we saw Jeremy Renner Yeah, we

01:46:11.010 --> 01:46:14.430
saw Anthony was Anthony Anthony Mackie with him.

01:46:14.529 --> 01:46:16.649
Maybe he might have been I know we saw Bruce

01:46:16.649 --> 01:46:20.250
Campbell at some point. Yes Yeah, Bruce Bruce

01:46:20.250 --> 01:46:23.609
Campbell for all of you not in the know He was

01:46:23.609 --> 01:46:28.770
on a show called Burn Notice, which our entire

01:46:28.770 --> 01:46:31.970
family loved. Just such a great spy show in the

01:46:31.970 --> 01:46:35.489
way that they did it. And Bruce Campbell was

01:46:35.489 --> 01:46:38.489
kind of like the comedy of that show. He's kind

01:46:38.489 --> 01:46:41.069
of a clown. The sidekick. He is. But he's also

01:46:41.069 --> 01:46:44.050
like BFFs with director Sam Raimi, who did all

01:46:44.050 --> 01:46:46.510
the Tobey Maguire Spider -Man movies and had

01:46:46.510 --> 01:46:50.920
a cameo in all of those. And you can't say. Bruce

01:46:50.920 --> 01:46:53.180
Campbell without saying Evil Dead. Without saying

01:46:53.180 --> 01:46:55.760
Evil Dead, right? Evil Dead and Army of Darkness.

01:46:55.960 --> 01:47:00.939
I mean, all that is great. So, yeah, man, I just

01:47:00.939 --> 01:47:03.340
like... He was so cool. God, I love those things.

01:47:03.539 --> 01:47:05.420
They're just... Very inspirational, too. He gave

01:47:05.420 --> 01:47:09.279
a... He gave a chat. I think he was taking, he

01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:11.380
was fielding Q &As. I think we were in a theater

01:47:11.380 --> 01:47:14.260
somewhere. We were. We watched Bubba Hotep. Yeah,

01:47:14.340 --> 01:47:17.420
that's right. Fun movie. That was fun. But yeah,

01:47:17.420 --> 01:47:19.640
he was fielding questions and someone in the

01:47:19.640 --> 01:47:23.140
audience asked like, what does it take to become

01:47:23.140 --> 01:47:25.720
a filmmaker? Like it's something I'm interested

01:47:25.720 --> 01:47:32.460
in. And he gave a very, very direct... Concise

01:47:32.460 --> 01:47:35.199
thoughtful thoughtful answer. Yeah, he was just

01:47:35.199 --> 01:47:38.260
like go do it go do it Don't sit around thinking

01:47:38.260 --> 01:47:41.399
how you can do it. Go do it. I love that You've

01:47:41.399 --> 01:47:44.140
got cameras in your pockets. Go do it. Yeah,

01:47:44.539 --> 01:47:47.420
and I was like How awesome is that how neat?

01:47:47.500 --> 01:47:49.800
Yeah, he's a cool dude. That would definitely

01:47:49.800 --> 01:47:51.239
be a dude I would like to sit in a room with

01:47:51.239 --> 01:47:53.439
and just hang out. You have a beer and talk shit

01:47:53.439 --> 01:47:56.460
like that, right? Very fun. Yeah, but that's

01:47:56.460 --> 01:47:58.539
that's s -tier hundred percent hundred percent

01:47:58.619 --> 01:48:02.460
the final three to rank. We have not dipped below

01:48:02.460 --> 01:48:05.680
C tier yet today. But then again, entertainment

01:48:05.680 --> 01:48:08.380
is entertaining, so I didn't think we would get

01:48:08.380 --> 01:48:13.960
many Fs. Listening to music. Yeah, you know...

01:48:13.930 --> 01:48:17.069
when you're feeling a certain way anyway like

01:48:17.069 --> 01:48:19.529
you could be going to the gym so you need something

01:48:19.529 --> 01:48:23.210
extra to hype you up or you're in a moment and

01:48:23.210 --> 01:48:24.869
you're feeling some stuff and maybe you need

01:48:24.869 --> 01:48:28.069
some some sad music maybe breakup music maybe

01:48:28.069 --> 01:48:32.260
shit like that You know I get that yeah, you

01:48:32.260 --> 01:48:34.880
know ambient music just to like bring up a room

01:48:34.880 --> 01:48:37.220
like you would do in a coffee shop Right, or

01:48:37.220 --> 01:48:39.100
you're just doing chores around the house, and

01:48:39.100 --> 01:48:41.199
you just need something in the background Yeah,

01:48:41.340 --> 01:48:43.100
you know you're sitting there doing dishes who

01:48:43.100 --> 01:48:45.300
the fuck likes doing dishes Yeah, you're doing

01:48:45.300 --> 01:48:47.579
dishes, and I'll send like oh, that's a banger.

01:48:47.720 --> 01:48:49.159
That's just kind of picks you up a little bit

01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:52.760
I love it. It's great You know, I drive to work

01:48:52.760 --> 01:48:54.939
now, so I have like a half an hour drive to work.

01:48:55.340 --> 01:48:57.479
So I love listening to music and things like

01:48:57.479 --> 01:49:01.939
that. So A plus. A plus. I love that. I was about

01:49:01.939 --> 01:49:05.420
to say it better be A plus or better. You're

01:49:05.420 --> 01:49:07.260
about to yell at me. Yeah, exactly. No, that's

01:49:07.260 --> 01:49:11.819
fair. Next one up here. Watching live wrestling

01:49:11.819 --> 01:49:17.340
shows. So live. Yep. Being there live. In the

01:49:17.340 --> 01:49:19.979
arena. And we've done that a handful of times.

01:49:20.199 --> 01:49:23.380
It's fun. It's so much fun. And look, you know,

01:49:23.380 --> 01:49:25.159
I get some of you aren't into it. Some of you

01:49:25.159 --> 01:49:29.699
are. It's it's it's it's athleticism. It's it's

01:49:29.699 --> 01:49:32.399
a sports event, but it's also like drama and

01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:36.140
everything. It's kind of like a play. Sure. But

01:49:36.140 --> 01:49:39.579
sports, too. It's kind of its own interesting

01:49:39.579 --> 01:49:43.260
thing that's lasted since the 1930s or however

01:49:43.260 --> 01:49:47.640
long it's been around. I love it. It's great.

01:49:48.010 --> 01:49:51.109
And it's different than if you're sitting at

01:49:51.109 --> 01:49:53.149
home. So you're sitting at home and you're sitting

01:49:53.149 --> 01:49:55.130
at home and you're thinking, all right, what

01:49:55.130 --> 01:49:56.909
are we doing? Here's all these commercials. Here's

01:49:56.909 --> 01:49:59.109
this, here's that. And it's like, it's not as

01:49:59.109 --> 01:50:00.689
fun if you're watching it from home, but if you're

01:50:00.689 --> 01:50:03.710
live, you're there and you're with the fans and

01:50:03.710 --> 01:50:05.670
your favorite guys are coming out and you're

01:50:05.670 --> 01:50:07.289
cheering, they're booing, whatever. And you're

01:50:07.289 --> 01:50:09.170
having fun with the people around you. It's a

01:50:09.170 --> 01:50:12.449
blast. I love it. And here we are. We're looking

01:50:12.449 --> 01:50:15.590
at another A tier. Yeah, I like that. I like

01:50:15.590 --> 01:50:18.829
that assessment. Um, and I've always found how

01:50:18.829 --> 01:50:21.810
distinctly different wrestling is, professional

01:50:21.810 --> 01:50:26.770
wrestling, to things like UFC. Sure. Where anytime

01:50:26.770 --> 01:50:29.770
I watch UFC, or I see clips of it, it's like,

01:50:30.250 --> 01:50:32.890
it is impressive, the athleticism. Oh, no doubt.

01:50:33.029 --> 01:50:37.649
And the martial arts is an art, absolutely. But

01:50:37.649 --> 01:50:41.069
at the same time, these people are killing themselves

01:50:41.069 --> 01:50:44.489
on a television screen, for most of the time,

01:50:44.630 --> 01:50:48.779
pretty shitty wages. And that part bothers me.

01:50:48.979 --> 01:50:50.640
Whereas, like, these people go out there and

01:50:50.640 --> 01:50:54.899
they perform. Yep. Like... And there's stories

01:50:54.899 --> 01:50:58.079
to be told, and like... Oh, sure. Watching CM

01:50:58.079 --> 01:51:01.060
Punk drop a knee on someone as they fly through

01:51:01.060 --> 01:51:03.079
the air, it's like, oh, man. It's great. The

01:51:03.079 --> 01:51:06.199
RKO out of nowhere. Those are great, too. Fuck.

01:51:06.539 --> 01:51:08.720
Absolutely. I love it. It's so cool. I love that.

01:51:09.180 --> 01:51:11.609
The last one on this list, and... Granted there

01:51:11.609 --> 01:51:13.569
are many more forms of entertainment that didn't

01:51:13.569 --> 01:51:16.470
make this list but the last one to tier list

01:51:16.470 --> 01:51:22.649
today county state fair also fun for me is a

01:51:22.649 --> 01:51:25.510
source of income because I I do it for a couple

01:51:25.510 --> 01:51:29.409
weeks a year and I do security for the shows

01:51:29.409 --> 01:51:34.750
and Florida Porter County Fair this year So advertise

01:51:34.750 --> 01:51:39.010
for free. Sorry, that's so bad with that anyway

01:51:39.529 --> 01:51:44.569
I really like them, but there's a lot of other

01:51:44.569 --> 01:51:48.529
things dependent on the time that you have there.

01:51:48.930 --> 01:51:51.930
So for example, most fairs happen in June, July,

01:51:51.989 --> 01:51:57.029
and August. And, uh, it can get hot. Yeah, sometimes

01:51:57.029 --> 01:51:59.250
the weather is miserable. If you are hot at the

01:51:59.250 --> 01:52:01.789
Porter County Fair, it sucks. You're like, where's

01:52:01.789 --> 01:52:04.750
the 4 -H building? Because it's just like, you

01:52:04.750 --> 01:52:07.090
are just, you're miserable. You definitely don't

01:52:07.090 --> 01:52:08.789
want to be hanging out with the cows in the barn

01:52:08.789 --> 01:52:11.689
when it's 95 degrees. That just sounds shitty.

01:52:12.510 --> 01:52:15.609
Breathing pure methane. Right. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

01:52:16.189 --> 01:52:21.550
So, yeah, that's a shitty deal. So, anyway. Uh...

01:52:21.550 --> 01:52:24.390
And then rain, of course. That's like a thing.

01:52:25.130 --> 01:52:28.789
Yeah. I do enjoy it, but something I didn't enjoy

01:52:28.789 --> 01:52:30.430
last year, maybe this is happening with a lot

01:52:30.430 --> 01:52:33.130
of county fairs, is the pricing. So the pricing

01:52:33.130 --> 01:52:36.310
of the food has really gone up. Oh, yeah. I mean,

01:52:36.409 --> 01:52:40.250
not 10%. We're talking closer to 20, 25%. And

01:52:40.250 --> 01:52:43.689
it begs the question, are the vendors being charged

01:52:43.689 --> 01:52:47.350
more to host? More than likely. There. So they

01:52:47.350 --> 01:52:50.279
have to up. And they have to up it. Right. So

01:52:50.279 --> 01:52:51.760
you're sitting there and I'm like, wait a minute

01:52:51.760 --> 01:52:53.979
and also inflation like I go to this one called

01:52:53.979 --> 01:52:57.340
the chuck wagon, right? And then they have this

01:52:57.340 --> 01:53:00.920
they have this container that has chunks of beef

01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:05.819
tenderloin Onions potatoes peppers. It's baller

01:53:05.819 --> 01:53:10.279
dude. It's so fucking good wonderful and I could

01:53:10.279 --> 01:53:15.779
have sworn last year I paid well bucks and This

01:53:15.779 --> 01:53:19.729
year was like 18. Oh, I'm like That's a lot of

01:53:19.729 --> 01:53:22.569
inflation. That's a 50 % increase. The beauty

01:53:22.569 --> 01:53:24.649
is they ran out of the smaller containers, and

01:53:24.649 --> 01:53:26.670
they had to give me a big container. Oh, shucks.

01:53:26.670 --> 01:53:29.810
For that price or whatever. I was like, ah, ah,

01:53:30.130 --> 01:53:32.989
ah. Yeah, so I, um... Got away with murder. I

01:53:32.989 --> 01:53:35.590
did. Getting away with murder. Okay, we can't

01:53:35.590 --> 01:53:37.149
do any more than that. Do you want to get copyright?

01:53:37.829 --> 01:53:41.449
Anyway, um... So I love the food. I'm not as

01:53:41.449 --> 01:53:43.710
much in the rides But if you have kids like that's

01:53:43.710 --> 01:53:46.430
kind of cool bumper cars are always fun man There's

01:53:46.430 --> 01:53:49.810
like we have we have a like a legendary family

01:53:49.810 --> 01:53:52.350
story of this bear that I got for my daughter

01:53:52.350 --> 01:53:57.010
Alex and we named him 30 because it cost me 30

01:53:57.010 --> 01:53:59.890
bucks to fucking get him to keep trying the game

01:53:59.890 --> 01:54:01.890

01:54:26.560 --> 01:54:31.140
games while they are scams scams oh yeah anyone

01:54:31.140 --> 01:54:33.060
that thinks they can walk up to those hoops and

01:54:33.060 --> 01:54:37.520
get it in no shot angled the backboards are fucked

01:54:38.010 --> 01:54:41.590
They're all scams, but they're fun. But they're

01:54:41.590 --> 01:54:44.149
fun. If you got $10 in your pocket burning a

01:54:44.149 --> 01:54:46.649
hole, they're just fun. Just do it. Yeah. Just

01:54:46.649 --> 01:54:48.850
do it. Would I rather play pull tabs? Of course,

01:54:48.970 --> 01:54:52.109
but you know, it is what it is. Yeah. At least

01:54:52.109 --> 01:54:56.829
you get a game out of it. I'm going for the inconsistency

01:54:56.829 --> 01:55:00.149
involving the weather and the price increases.

01:55:00.289 --> 01:55:03.119
I'm going to... downgrade it to a B, but I do

01:55:03.119 --> 01:55:06.319
like it. Yeah, I was gonna say BB +, is about

01:55:06.319 --> 01:55:09.340

I think that's fun. I love tier listing and I

01:55:51.949 --> 01:55:55.350
love entertainment. So I felt that was a beautiful

01:55:55.350 --> 01:55:58.189
merger we could do. That was great. I had fun.

01:55:58.229 --> 01:56:01.149
Hopefully you had fun. I did it was it was uh,

01:56:01.170 --> 01:56:03.470
it was a different It was a different kind of

01:56:03.470 --> 01:56:06.329
day and a different vibe and uh aiden took the

01:56:06.329 --> 01:56:09.449
lead on this one And I appreciate that uh when

01:56:09.449 --> 01:56:13.109
you're doing Creative stuff content creation

01:56:13.109 --> 01:56:16.789
Uh, your brain has to be in a certain space which

01:56:16.789 --> 01:56:22.850
mine has not been for days um, but uh, I am I

01:56:22.850 --> 01:56:26.909
am I'm hopeful i'm getting better within my thoughts

01:56:27.369 --> 01:56:30.810
trying to readjust a few things here. But I felt

01:56:30.810 --> 01:56:32.829
like that first hour was great. It was a good

01:56:32.829 --> 01:56:34.649
conversation, because it was related to some

01:56:34.649 --> 01:56:36.770
shit that was going on in my life. But then it

01:56:36.770 --> 01:56:39.270
was thought -provoking for the listeners as well.

01:56:39.569 --> 01:56:43.130
That's the point. And that's why we do what we

01:56:43.130 --> 01:56:45.069
do. I mean, sure, we're silly, and we want to

01:56:45.069 --> 01:56:47.109
have fun, and we do all that kind of stuff. But

01:56:47.109 --> 01:56:48.789
in the same sense, we want to do things that

01:56:48.789 --> 01:56:51.470
are heartfelt and thought -provoking, because

01:56:51.470 --> 01:56:53.350
that's just kind of the dudes we are, and that's

01:56:53.350 --> 01:56:55.390
the kind of content we like. Yeah, you've got

01:56:55.390 --> 01:56:58.050
to walk that line. The opening dialogue can be

01:56:58.050 --> 01:57:01.029
more serious. It can be politically leaning.

01:57:01.949 --> 01:57:06.109
And then the other 70 % of the show is just us

01:57:06.109 --> 01:57:08.229
being goofballs and having fun. That's right.

01:57:08.670 --> 01:57:11.210
A little bit of everything. Yeah. And up to you

01:57:11.210 --> 01:57:15.149
lovely viewers and listeners. whichever your

01:57:15.149 --> 01:57:17.409
favorite is, there's always links in the description

01:57:17.409 --> 01:57:20.170
and on YouTube and podcast apps. I believe you

01:57:20.170 --> 01:57:23.489
can skip around to, oh, I like the list best.

01:57:23.550 --> 01:57:26.069
You can skip to that, that's fine. I won't judge

01:57:26.069 --> 01:57:30.289
you. But yeah, we try and make a little bit for

01:57:30.289 --> 01:57:34.329
anything, for anyone listening, and we try and

01:57:34.329 --> 01:57:36.890
make it for ourselves, too. Because I think that's

01:57:36.890 --> 01:57:39.859
important when you... produce art or content

01:57:39.859 --> 01:57:42.539
in general, that you're not only doing it for

01:57:42.539 --> 01:57:44.439
those who may enjoy it, but you're doing it for

01:57:44.439 --> 01:57:47.479
yourself. Yeah, absolutely, 100%. Damn right.

01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:50.439
Well, smooch, subscribe, and if you don't, I

01:57:50.439 --> 01:57:53.479
will kill your family in front of you. Whoa,

01:57:53.479 --> 01:57:58.699
whoa, what? In a game of Minecraft. Oh, okay.

01:57:59.300 --> 01:58:01.880
Okay, that's a very hypothetical game of mine.

01:58:02.220 --> 01:58:06.159
I got you. It's just hitting me how violent that

01:58:06.159 --> 01:58:09.779
sounded. I should have led with the Minecraft

01:58:09.779 --> 01:58:13.460
guy. Yeah, I just like that's... Well, unless

01:58:13.460 --> 01:58:14.939
they look like the villagers. So the villagers

01:58:14.939 --> 01:58:16.960
are these little dudes, right? And they got these

01:58:16.960 --> 01:58:20.039
big noses, and they just... And they kind of

01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:21.960
walk around, and it's like you want to do right

01:58:21.960 --> 01:58:23.989
by them, and you want to build their house. and

01:58:23.989 --> 01:58:26.010
you want to help them and all that stuff's great

01:58:26.010 --> 01:58:27.550
but then like you bump into them they're like

01:58:27.550 --> 01:58:29.210
grrr and then you're like well fuck you dude

01:58:29.210 --> 01:58:31.409
and then you fucking kill them and their whole

01:58:31.409 --> 01:58:33.329
family and then you take all their shit
