Starting point is 00:05:04 Let's keep going. Hi, Benedict. The main propaganda that I'm not falling for is the pain relief patches by any brand because acetaminophen is typically only effective when absorbed orally and can't be effectively absorbed through the skin. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:05:24 So I think that it is a scam and I think you should shed some light on it. and can't be effectively absorbed through the skin. Thank you. I think that it is a scam and I think you should shed some light on it. I don't really think any topical solution ever does anything. Unless you have an itch or a rash on your skin and you put a topical solution on there. But if you have a muscle thing and you put a little cream on on there but if you have like a muscle thing and you put a little cream on it what's it doing those icy hot back patches those double xl1 shack wears man i
Starting point is 00:05:56 just want to try it i've never used icy hot before i can't imagine it does anything but make your skin tingle I'm all about if you're gonna fix something you gotta you've got to get surgery or else. It's just a temporary thing Like especially all those those hems adds Pills for your hair pills for erectile dysfunction function pills for your skin pills It's all trash. Pills to make you, dude, the pills to make you focus and the pills to make like dudes have more testosterone, no way, how are we able to sell those?
Starting point is 00:06:43 I think Adderall has run its course, dude. I think Adderall is gonna be the new weed where people are like nah dude just don't. I think Adderall is bad. Yeah I've taken it. Yeah I felt like the president of the United States when I took it. So? But it was like after I took it where I was like hmm like I was like I have no thoughts or feelings And I never took it again, so I was like I'm sad and I can't feel anything Can't be good Can't be good. Maybe the first time you take it it does a little something cuz your body's not used to it But after that just kind of just kind of nothing Just kind of bad. I think I was up for four days the first time I took Adderall
Starting point is 00:07:35 In college up for four days No idea what I was saying Best four days of my life? Maybe. It was kind of like that pill in that movie. Invincible? I don't know what it's called. Icy hot back patch? I've never seen anyone use them.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Commercials are everywhere. Never seen anyone actually use it though. What's the scam? What's the propaganda you're not falling for? So the propaganda I'm not falling for is Monopoly is actually a fun game. Oh my God. Can we just shine a little light on every game we've ever played? Are they actually fun?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Monopoly, I don't think I've ever even played it. I think I started playing it at my grandma's house one time. Who has that much time? I'd rather watch a movie Monopoly There's just there's too many rules What does it all mean? I feel like I'd have to take like a semester of College on monopoly to actually play the game the right way and to find like how many other people do you need?
Starting point is 00:09:13 Fake money? There's just too much, man. And people are playing that as kids? Count me out, dude. Hey, talk about the most overwhelming thing in the world. The most overwhelming thing in the world. What's your fantasy? Going up to a game of monopoly when the people are starting to feel fatigue, What's your fantasy? Going up to a game of Monopoly When the people are starting to feel fatigue It's 2am I've never seen anybody play it
Starting point is 00:09:55 All the talk Icy hot back patch Monopoly Who's doing it really though? Now the Monopoly McDonald's game I I can kinda get down with that. Do they still do it? Maybe. Peeling those little stickers off on the front of a fry box?
Starting point is 00:10:14 Has anybody ever won though? Yo Monopoly! Let me see some results. I just want to go up to a full Monopoly game, four people playing and flip the whole entire board over and walk away. You know what they would do? Cheer. I'm not falling for the propaganda of sports betting.
Starting point is 00:10:44 That shit seems too risky, man. I've seen too many people get burned. I'm not falling for the propaganda of sports betting. That shit seems too risky, man. I've seen too many people get burned. Yeah, people make it big and hit big, but when do you stop? That's the main question. on a bullshit door dash order on 10 wings, plus a couple sides that I probably don't need just because I don't feel like getting my ass up off the couch. But if I'm gonna choose a five leg parlay
Starting point is 00:11:14 or whatever the fuck they be saying. Dude, no kidding. That shit is too risky for me, dude, because I will be thousands in the red quick. It's a slippery slope and I don't trust myself doing it. God, I love him. I don't know who you are, sir, but you make so much sense to me.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I don't know how anybody knows about gambling or bedding. Who told you how to do it? Was I born in a family? Am I sheltered? I have no idea! Yeah, it's like a five leg parlay and like, I've got, what? How come there's not an ounce of anything in me
Starting point is 00:12:04 that's ever wanted to bet on anything? Sounds like I'm just gonna lose. Has anybody ever won and then that's it? No. Everybody just turns into a loser. Never had the urge at all. If I'm betting on something, $5 cash is the most I'll go. And I don't even know the last time I saw a $5 bill.
Starting point is 00:12:24 They make them anymore? I just cannot get down with any of that. I can't, how does everybody know everything? How is everybody so good at gambling, math, monopoly? Who has time? You've watched all the shows, the movies, you gamble, what the hell? How do we know? You know all the people, have you seen? No. Bro, do you have the DraftKings app? No. I'm so dead serious that I just don't know how you guys have the time to do all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:11 And I'm not, I don't, how are you that interested in everything either? And you got a girlfriend? And you're married enough, how do you do it all? I just, dude,? I just dude sometimes I just want to hey, what's your daily schedule? Sometimes? I just want to follow people around all day So what are you doing now? And I swear to God nobody ever does anything either and I'm like how what when is anything ever getting done?
Starting point is 00:13:38 Does it take me 10 hours to do every single thing it must it must take me So and in the big one, how does everybody have so much money? I'm looking at you right now. How do you have so much money? Why am I scratching and clawing for $7 since I was ten years old. How you guys do how do you?
Starting point is 00:14:11 How do you guys have families? Weddings, I kind of feel like everybody's parents are kings and queens, and I just I'm just a normal family. Did I miss something? Everybody's so so rich knows how to do everything has seen everything I'm like I think I think everybody's lived life five times, and I'm just this is my first one Do you do we feel like that? Wait so you're never gonna like get married or have a kid? Who has time? Have you seen Game of Thrones? No clue. No. I don't even have time to even look at the the

Killer song underrated Michael Jackson. Hey, Drake or Michael Jackson. You tell me, babe. Propaganda I'm not falling for. Protein in everything. We done? I'm telling you man, everything is such a scam and so fake.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I saw protein Cheerios at Target. How dumb do you have to be? I'm starting to think that nobody ever reads, nobody's been briefed on nutritional facts. You ever meet a family or somebody that they just don't know anything about what they're eating I think that's insane. So you'll just eat anything every time Like you there's not like an alarm that goes off in your head like that's probably not good for you a lot a lot of that pricing and I'm the king of eating like The extreme amount of crap over and over and over.
Starting point is 00:17:26 But at least I know some people have no idea. And the brands are taking advantage of them. Yeah, there's protein in Cheerios. How much? I eat a whole box of Cheerios. How many grams of protein is that? Six. Fake. Dude, the propaganda I'm not falling for, and I've fallen for it probably

You telling me I drink two of those? It's like, it's almost as much protein as I need in a day. Four of them. I know it's a little wacky because I had one at the airport and baby felt like He was gonna gird on the plane Whole rest of the day moping around tired old milky boy.

When you're that excited to go out to eat, you're, you're looking up the menu on your phone, which I got, I know my app. I'm getting the shrimp cocktail. I'm getting the shrimp cocktail me.

Starting point is 00:21:19 Is he gonna get dessert? Maybe. Is he gonna eat all the bread? Maybe. I got everything, bro. And I was housing. But they brought it in right when they dropped the food. You know they dropped the food by your table?
Starting point is 00:21:37 You're sitting there at a restaurant. They dropped the, they, we had so much food that they had to bring one of those like little mini stands and set up a table next to our table. Put it down. And I looked at the food and I was like, first thought that crossed my mind and I knew I was wrong. I was like, this food kind of, it all looks fake. You know when food looks fake
Starting point is 00:22:05 You're like all the food looks dead like it'd be food that you would see like in a model home That's not real food. You know like you know those big like baskets of fruit in the middle of tables that are all fake. It's just everything looked like that and I was like Whatever it must just be that good, you know? They said it all down on the table, I started eating it and I'm like, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I'm eating the steak and in my head, it actually, I'm gonna be completely honest, in my head I go, this tastes like beef jerky, I don't know if it's supposed to or not, but it tastes like beef jerky. I don't know if it's supposed to or not, but it tastes like beef jerky. Is that what good steak tastes like? Still out of steak. Propaganda, propaganda I'm not falling for?
Starting point is 00:22:50 Steak! It's just a bunch of nothing. It's cause you never had good steak. Yeah I have. Just a bunch of nothing. It's good, but like, okay. Okay. Okay. And then what? Just a bunch of nothing. It's good, but like okay, okay. Okay. And then what?
Starting point is 00:23:12 It just tasted like, I don't know. And it's just loaded with fat around it. I'm like, what am I supposed to do with all this? I'm not going to eat the fat. Are you crazy? Doesn't that go against everything we've ever been taught in our lives? Don't eat, why would I eat a bunch of fat? Dude, does anyone want to be fat?
Starting point is 00:23:27 I don't think so. So why would I eat it? Yeah, give me a big... Pfft... thing of meat... and 75% of it is fat. What am I supposed to do with that? Thanks for nothing.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And the part that's not fat, I'm like, okay, um, just tastes like a big thick piece of bacon. I don't know. But I was eating mine and I was like, it tastes like beef jerky. I guess that's good. There's a huge plate of steak on the table. Tomahawk steak was all fat, allahawk steak. It was all fat. All fat and bloody. I was like, all right. And Logan said it. He was like, he was sitting across from me.
Starting point is 00:24:13 He was like, you know, I don't, I'm not this guy, but this is cold. It was cold. Was it supposed to be cold? I don't know. But like, if I'm eating the best food I've ever had in my life, it's probably not supposed to be cold, I don't know. But like if I'm eating the best food I've ever had in my life, it's probably not supposed to be cold, I don't think, right? I'm a room temp guy, but I was like, it doesn't seem right. I'm even telling you the shrimp cocktail that I had with the
Starting point is 00:24:37 sauce and the, oh my God, it's so good. It's like the best deal. Oh my god so I was like I remember this being better like at Harry and Izzy's the sister restaurant of st. Elmo some was just not working and I was like it's probably just me I'm probably just but everybody was saying lobster I don't know it just tastedation lobster. I've had it imitation lobster Because it has a bunch of protein It just was like the least least Special thing I've ever had I don't know what I expected but I special thing I've ever had. I don't know what I expected, but
Starting point is 00:25:26 I don't know, halfway through the, halfway through eating at St. Elmo, I was like, is this food trash? Is this food trash? You know when you're so hungry that like whatever it is tastes good? Like anything, anything is like, oh my god, yeah! And then you take two bites of it and you're like, anything is like, oh my God, yeah. And then you take two bites of it and you're like, this is actually,
Starting point is 00:25:48 it's actually one of the grossest things I've ever eaten in my life. And I can't believe I'm doing this right now. I'm embarrassed. That was me. Hopefully it was an off night, but like how? How, St. Elmo, how do you have an off night, but like how? How would have St. Elmo? How do you have an off night?
Starting point is 00:26:07 When it's race weekend in Indianapolis and the big hitters are coming through, it kind of felt like everybody, somebody already ordered all that stuff we ordered and they're just like, oh my, and they had to leave or something.

Who's actually using a paperclip for papers?
Starting point is 00:38:25 Who can ever find one? No, the only reason you're using a paperclip, you're stretching it out. Remember doing that when you were in school? So bored you find a paperclip and try to make it into a straight line. I swear to God I got close. But there's always a couple little humps in it.
Starting point is 00:38:44 There's always a couple little humps in it. There's always a couple little Now you're using that thing dude all routers should come just with a paperclip tape to the back of it I've never once needed a paperclip for anything else if I'm stacking papers together.

Starting point is 00:51:42 I'm gonna have to go with the basic bitch answer of dying in your sleep. It's best way to die. I'm gonna have to go with the basic bitch answer of dying in your sleep. It's peaceful, no pain. You just go to bed and never wake up again. You have no idea. So I feel like that's nice. But honestly, I spend more time thinking about the ways I don't want to die. Like I don't want to die a stupid way. Like I read something the other day about a guy who died because an airport sign fell on him. Yo.
Starting point is 00:52:07 God, don't do me dirty like that. I don't want a lame ass death. I don't deserve it. But at the same time, I also don't want no like crazy final destination death where like I get decapitated because a race car tire hit me. I don't want that either. If I had to pick between a stupid death or the crazy death, I think I might go with a stupid death. No. Because I don't want like my body mutilated. You know, I'm still trying to go out

Starting point is 00:53:01 but who cares? I've had people on here and interviewed them before. It's just not the same podcast. Maybe I'll grow out of it and I'll find it and it'll be, you know what I mean? It'll all work out. But we find it when we find it on the espresso pod. And if I'm going out dying, I want my body to be split up and hacked away in eight pieces. Oh, I'm dying? Yeah, let me explode then. I don't want to know if I'm going to die. I know how I'm going
Starting point is 00:53:37 to die and it's going to be me just trying to cross the street with a Instagram story trying to make it and a car blasts me into a school bus.
