Ooh, mama, what up, Stokers of Stoke Nation? Give it to me and say, give me some sour gummies, uh, I don't know. Uh, I'm here with my compadre jean thomas what up what up stokers boom clap i got jt with a fire sweatsuit going on right now yeah no i'm a 80s aerobics instructor you're not jane fonda anymore i'm jane defonda but i think she did that yeah um you were supposed to dress up as well i know i forgot i totally i was so uh i was so disturbed by the joker that i forgot to get festive dude took you to a bleak place i had to call my mom after you did yeah what'd she say she's like uh just stay stoked um go

get some you know avocado or something and just uh watch something that'll bring up your mood. I can always count on her. She's the best. Yeah. That's good advice. So I just watched Arnold Schwarzenegger lifting. Nice, dude. Yeah.

Just got me back in the mood. Yeah, so the Joker, what did you think about it? You know, it was well done, well shot. The score was great, I thought. Joaquin is excellent, but really not my cup of tea. You know, the legend Paul Schrader says that art is a tool that helps you learn about yourself and other people. And what I learned about myself is that I love Stoke.

So this is kind of the opposite for me. Dude, that's crazy because you quote Paul Schrader too. He's probably the most for me. Dude, that's crazy because you quote Paul Schrader too, is probably most legendary film is Taxi Driver, which the Joker is like heavily indebted to. Yeah, it felt like a taxi driver with a huge budget, but way more predictable. Right. I'm with you.

I didn't like it either. Yeah, it just felt like you kind of knew where it was going. A lot of the stuff that I think they intended to make sort of like a surprise or something like it's spoiler alert that he was like delusional about there's gonna be a lot of spoilers so if you're not into it yeah start skipping forward yeah the uh like the girlfriend or whatever that she wasn't that whole thing wasn't real it's like you could see that a mile away right um yeah i thought i thought it was impressive and it's crazy that they made a big budget movie like that right about something so sad you know you don't generally see that yeah

like like just telling a story about a psychopath and really getting into like yeah nothing good ever happens right but he's the thing is it's it doesn't feel like a descent into being a psychopath because he kind of feels like a crazy person from the beginning yeah like you don't you're like the moment you look at him you're like this guy's got no shot yeah and so him going crazy i was like well he is i mean he brought a gun to him i know he got beat up but like he brings a gun to like a children's hospital like he's kind of nuts he already is crazy he's crazy it's more like he's taking off his mask yeah and then like there was just some parts that i thought were poorly written like when he confronts who he thinks is his dad bruce wayne's dad what's bruce

wayne's dad's name uh thomas wayne thomas wayne when he confronts him in the bathroom and thomas is like a total cock about it right he's like you're my dad he's like no i'm not you're a loser and then he socks him in the face he's like listen your mom's crazy i never slept with her if you come here get my kid again i'm gonna fucking kill you yeah and he's like that's how you react we call the bodyguard yeah if there was a psychopath confronting me in the bathroom i wouldn't be like hyper masculine and cocky and i'd be like listen loser you better beat it and then smack him in the face i'd be like okay hey whatever you say man i am your dad and i love you and i'm so proud of you and then i get out the door i'm like security execute this dude yeah you're just taking

a piss in this psychopath's there first off i'd get pee shy yeah like can you not look at me because i'm trying to pee and second off he's just like washing his hands he's like oh your mother she was crazy i never slept with her all right dude by way, you've got the mangled looks of her. You're like, all right, dude. Why don't you be a little bit more chill, chill? Yeah. Oh, you're the guy that came to my house. All right.

Let me handle this. And then it was like, I thought they should have just kept up the ambiguity, whether it was his dad or not. And once you find out that his mom lied to him and that he just is crazy, it took away a lot of the power for me. Because I thought a lot of the power would be in, is he crazy? Is he not crazy? But they kind of very much settle it on the side of he's just nuts.

Yeah, there's really no chance for redemption. There's no opportunities for him to sort of break free. It's like you know where he's going the whole time. It's just predictable and like i read some reviews and they're like new york times is like besotted with the notion of its own audacity as if willful unpleasantness were a form of artistic courage the film turns out to be afraid of its own shadow or at least the faintest shadow of any relevance i don't really know what that means but i think that's what i felt dude I felt while watching it that so well encapsulates what that movie is

because it thinks because it's so intense that it's deep but it's not, it's not really saying much yeah it felt arrogant and I love Todd Phillips and I love Joaquin Phoenix but it was just full of itself like this is the Joker cue the big score.

And Strider made a good point too where he was like, the thing about Joaquin Phoenix's performances, it's amazing, but we've seen him be intense and very committed in other performances. So it's not as like shocking as Heath Ledger as the Joker because we've never seen him do anything like that. Right, right. With this, it's like, yeah, that's Joaquin Phoenix. He's amazing at being creepy and weird and compelling.

Yeah. But it's not like, it's not, I don't think it's unique in his oeuvre. Yeah. He should do like Road Trip next, something like that. Yeah, if he did something light. Yeah, that would be shocking. Yeah, if he was just like a charming lead in a rom-com. Yeah.

Like him and Katherine Heigl. Yeah. They're like dueling newscasters yeah and it's hard for me to talk poorly about it because i love todd phillips i love joaquin we already covered that but you know i just uh and plus it's just so bleak uh i just and i guess it's supposed to make you uncomfortable but it just it wasn't like i was like blown away i was like this is disturbing but you know it's supposed to make you uncomfortable, but it wasn't like I was blown away. I was like, this is disturbing, but it's really blowing my mind. It's like, this is kind of what I expected.

And he goes, Joker's so monotonously grandiose and full of its own pretensions that it winds up feeling puny and predictable. Nice. This guy really fucking gave it a scathing review. That was a different one. Oh, whoa. What was that one?

I forget what that one i uh i forget what that one what'd you think aaron dude i liked it oh dude we needed that yeah i i enjoyed it a lot i thought it was a unique take i thought the acting was really good i'm i'm behooved to to speak to this side of things yeah fired up on that word behooved. Yeah. I've been trying to look for situations to say the word bequeath. Yeah? I just like bequeath. You got to hang around more people who are about to die, dude. I bequeath unto you.

Be like, so what are you going to do with your stuff? Do you think you're going to bequeath it to anybody? Yeah. I bequeath unto you my tank top. Or you could go to a yard sale and be like, hey, how much for that lava lamp? And they're like 20 bucks. You're like, how about you just bequeath it to me dude actually well I'm

moving soon so maybe I'll I'll bequeath my running shoes to the gym I currently work at I'll just bequeath it to them and then they'll be stoked and I'll get new ones fuck yeah dude you're just gonna give them shoes just as like a token of my appreciation

are they gonna give them to other people or are they just gonna hold on to them and be like oh dude i'm hoping they'll put them in a case and just say like chad sprinted here dude not that i want to be all like showy super important self-important or whatever but you know i just the treadmills there have done me well and i'm stoked on them and uh i think crunch um maybe i'll take some of their memorabilia and put it in a case in my b room or something dude also so on saturday we went to um a famous person's halloween party yeah we signed an nda so we can't say what we can't say we went to the party we can say we went to the party we just can't say what we saw yeah oh okay yeah because people were posting about it

oh okay we went to demi lovato's halloween party and i showed up first yeah i was the first person there oh shit yeah you're like i showed up super dude i was party started at seven i was there at seven yeah you're like dude i am gonna get there at seven right when it opens i don't want to have any headaches getting in i'm like i'm gonna show up at 8 45 well we've been to some of these parties before it's impossible to get in at a certain hour i was like i'm not i'm not a big deal i'm not taking chances and i had a plus one and they had they had it kind of misaccurately unacc misaccurately written down so i think if i had come later with our buddy dan i wouldn't have been able to get in yeah but i got to meet demi because i was there early and she came up and was like what's up but she was in like a full

pennywise outfit she was nice she's very normal yeah like i was like, what's up? But she was in like a full Pennywise outfit. She was nice. She was very normal. Yeah. Like I was like, whoa, you're like just like a regular person. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird how that happens. Yeah. You're like, you know, I may be Pennywise right now, but I have feelings. And I got fucked up, dude.

I haven't been that drunk in a while. You were really bringing it. I was bringing it, dude. Yeah. I think I was trying to prove something to Dan because it was my first time partying with him. Yeah. And then I think I was trying to prove something to myself. Trying to prove something to everyone there.

Well, I felt like this energy. I was like, JT's on a mission tonight. Yeah, I was. Yeah. I talked to every single person at the party and I danced like I was going to power a nuclear reactor with my fucking hip jerry. We were tearing it up I mean yeah with that dinosaur with that dino costume that thing is ripe because hip movement and just jiving it's like another partner on the floor yeah it's like you want to do the t-rex

justice um and uh it just it looks amazing when you dance with that thing yeah you know because it's just a mind trip you're like who's really dancing is it chad or is it that dino and i'm like you'll never know dude right you're communicating through the dino right right yeah i smoke cigarettes i haven't smoked cigarettes in years yeah i smoke six of them you were cheating i get it because it gives you like you don't want to stay inside the party it was at a club called hide you don't want to stay in the club for too long then you have a reason to go outside. You smoke a cigarette and you're like, all right, let's get back in there.

It does make sense for setting the tempo. It's something to do. But man, that hangover. Yeah. Splitting headache for two days. Dude, when I was there too, I ate a garlic hamburger. And the food they had was all garlicky. But yeah, you were hungover.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Because we had some work, and I was coming in, I was like, what's up, Dane? I'm fucking fucked, bro. Well, you weren't that, I mean, maybe you felt bad on Monday, but you didn't seem that bad. Oh, that's good. But then on Tuesday, I was like like there's like a dark cloud hanging over you i was like i thought you were like upset i was like what's going on no i felt upset but it was just a hangover yeah yeah i was rubbing my head like like i literally was just massaging my

head yeah i yeah i got into a fight with sally like because i was like so just grumpy like i just made a joke and on any other day just would have landed yeah maybe but uh it came across like more like acidic and like she got a little upset and i was like i was like babe i swear it's just because i'm so fucking hung over yeah yeah i um yeah and you were just housing cereal and stuff i ate three bowls of cereal dude yeah it's very uncharacteristic i don't eat cereal i haven't had cereal in 15 years dude my stomach was lit up bro i'm not doing that again for a while i might take a bigger break from milk and cereal than i do from drinking yeah dude i um i know that about myself because sometimes i'll just get cinnamon toast

crunch and like a gallon of milk and just house it in one night and then i'm just like freaking a balloon of gas for a few days and um i'm thinking after we're done with this thing that we're working on i think what i'll treat myself to is like a huge box of cinnamon toast crunch maybe we should talk about that too that's gonna be good i'll just i'd love to get some french toast crunch right next to you oh dude yeah just split a dude get a when you get a big bowl and you just pour the whole cereal into there. I love when it gets soggy. I love the soggy. There's like a perfect soggy level.

Yeah. I love soggy stuff. And then you chug that sugar milk. Yeah. One of the great pleasures. I kind of like food that's like been out for a while. You know what I mean? Yeah.

When it's kind of soggy. Like people always clown on me. They're like, you're going to, you're like, it's cold. You like it's cold you're gonna eat that like that's been out for a while i'm like it's soggy and the texture is just right i think with dishes where the food like coagulates it's the best like mac and cheese or rice when it's mixed with other things yeah when it gets that sticky kind of quality to it that's when it's the best for pounding yeah i do if you get like a caesar salad and you let the croutons just, you know, become one with the dressing. Yeah, I don't want them at full crunchiness.

No. You're like chipping teeth. Yeah, it's too hard. It's way too hard. Yeah. What's your favorite cereal, Aaron? You know, I've been getting into Cinnamon Toast Crunch lately. It's good stuff.

Have you tried French Toast Crunch? No, no. They have a cinnamon toast crunch uh churros as well a full ctcc i've heard about those that sounds pretty intense yeah it's pretty good uh but i'm you know i like my classic frosted flakes dude you know what i like chocolate rice krispies is that what it's called rice krispies yeah yeah yeah or cocoa k Krispies. Is that what it's called? Rice Krispies? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Or Cocoa Krispies. Cocoa Krispies.

Thank you, Aaron. Cocoa Krispies. More than Cocoa Puffs. Yes. Yes. Because they got this new, they got this unique kind of flavor to them. Cocoa Krispies, Cocoa Puffs are kind of unpredictable, I think. But these, they get soggy fast.

They have this like cool, like, I don't even know how to describe chocolate. Right? No, but you're hitting on what I'm thinking. It's like extra milky chocolate. That's what it is. It's extra milk. And when it's got that kind of like that soft texture that you can just kind of like just put your tongue through. Yeah.

Yeah. If you follow. Yeah. Dude, you know what kind of cereal I like? What's that? After I do a bunch of fucking blow, follow. Yeah. Dude, you know what kind of cereal I like? What's that? After I do a bunch of fucking blow, bro. Yeah. I like Froot Loops, bro.

Tricks. That's what I like is tricks. My brain got confused for a second. So not Froot Loops? Because I haven't done blow in a while. I've been taking a little break so I can build up for a massive fucking blow sesh. Is it the bunny? You get fired up on the bunny? Dude, I eat my fucking tricks and I look at the bunny

and I just laugh for about an hour. I'm like, you're stuck in a box, bunny. Yeah, I mean. Not to have shot in foot, but I know that bunny would rather be in a patch somewhere rather than stuck peddling sugary goop to a fucking coke head like me, even though I'm the fucking man.

I just know that that rabbit's probably got aspirations, dreams, you you know and i kind of laugh at it because i'm living out my dreams and this rabbit's stuck he's stuck honestly we have all the cereal mascots i think he's the one who looks like he's most on blow and he made whatever he made he got stuck there yeah yeah they sentenced him to that yeah peddling To peddling the sugar bites. Yeah. Yeah, that's probably true. When I think in terms of freedom of the people who are in cereal boxes, I think Count Dracula. I think he's living life exactly the way he wants to. He does blow.

Yeah. I think the Lucky Charms guy, he's a lot of fun. Lots of blowing. I haven't partied with those guys yet, per se, but I can tell by looking at them that they get after it. I'll tell you who's not doing blow i'll tell you who's an na narcotics anonymous narcotics assholes is uh the kashi guys oh for real they don't even have a mascot they got like some healthy looking like twig and you've seen

them there no i haven't seen them there but they got that kind of like uh better than now holier than you kind of attitude you know yeah? Yeah, I mean, for sure. I mean, Kashi Galeen, that's quite a phrase to come out with. And you know what the worst part is? The hypocrites. All the Kashi people, all the people who make Kashi are hypocrites because you pretend you're healthy for me, but guess what? Yeah, you got some fiber, but it doesn't matter if you got 40 grams of carbohydrates

and 20 grams of sugar. I mean, what the hell are we talking about? You know what makes you actually go lean? What's that? You got some fiber, but it doesn't matter if you got 40 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of sugar. I mean, what the hell are we talking about? You know what makes you actually go lean? What's that? You know what it is. Keto, baby. Blow.

Oh, dude. I can't believe I didn't get that one right. Yeah. That's fucking crazy. That went over my head. I don't even do blow, and I just know. I'm just your intern. It keeps me lean, bro, for sure.

Bro, intern. Yeah, but you're the CEO of the interns. Oh, dude, thank you so much. Chief Executive Ox, bro. You're built, dude. You're strong. Oh, dude, thank you. Well, actually, I was coming in today because I was like, you know, I love talking about cereal.

Me too, bro. I'll go all day. I love talking about anything, really. Deep dives. Dude, what about the Frosted Flakes tiger? Oh, Kellogg, that guy? That guy does blow, does blow right i mean he's kind of the old stalwart you know he's been there for a while holding it down yeah to be honest i think he's getting a little long in the tooth pun intended i think he's ready to fall and i think if you put me in a ring with him and i got a bump ski and you know i've been working

out and i'm keeping shit tight I'm gonna put him down you could be his ass I'm gonna work my jab he's a tiger he's probably not used to being jabbed you know he's gonna come back with some paws

but I see him coming up on his hind legs coming at me with the front paws maybe even trying to bring his big teeth onto my throat I mean that's ripe

for a body shot I mean that's when I throw a left to the fucking to the liver and I put a tiger down have you ever fought a tiger yeah yeah yeah i have i went on a safari uh in uh the congo yeah and uh i was out there with some friends and this tiger was just talking shit you know he's like and i said shut the fuck up tiger not in front of my he's disrespecting me

in front of my friends which i have a nice time looking at the wilderness and so i said not i said enough you know i'll give you i'll give you a break this one time because i mean i mean you're a country but after this you know bullshit talks my fist walks and uh and uh he kept talking you know because he didn't understand me because i guess he's a tiger but I understood him and it's a two way street so then I hopped out of the fucking jeep and you know everybody there was like

hey don't do this come on what are you doing I said stay stay out of it you know because I don't bother them when they're fighting

you know with their families or whatever they don't fight that much but if they did I wouldn't butt in and then so I go over there and I said a tiger hey look at me in my eyes

look at me in my eyes and I did a little coke I offered the tiger some coke. He didn't do it. He didn't do it. Damn. Blatant disrespect. Yeah.

So even worse than that, he doesn't do the blow. He hits my hand with his paw and wastes like three bumps. Dude, he wasted the blow? Bro. Tell me what happened next. You know what happened next how'd you beat his ass first i took my shirt off real slow you're so jacked too and i just pierced my nipples right yeah i love your pierced so i was looking fierce yeah and i freaking i hit him with a fucking flying pelvic thrust yeah you hit him with your hog i hit him with my hog damn dude and i'm not gonna

embellish i didn't knock him out clean right there i just wobbled him was it like did you have like a half chub or like was it just totally flaccid is it that kind of hard of a hog well i'm one of those guys who can do all the blow in the world and it does affect my penis i can't get hard so i wasn't hot so maybe your balls did most of the work my balls did the heavy lifting you have a huge bulge in sack thanks dude yeah i got a nice piece i wish it would get up there more but i'm doing so much blow it's kind of hard but i don't mind going down on whoever i'm partying with for as long as they need you know because when i'm on coke i'm a giver dude yeah and that's what i tell everybody at the office i get on the pa system and i say never forget yeah boss man's a giver yeah and

we're all going to be given when we get the next quarter's earnings and everybody's happy i want everybody to be given because we're grateful we're grateful and i'm always grateful and that's why even after i knocked the tiger out with a roundhouse kick i woke him up i said hey good on you bro for taking it like a man. Tiger. And then I gave him a little pouch of the Blosky and went his way. I guess that makes sense. I mean, in the last moment, you were talking all about the importance of

having a solid beanbag. Yeah. And just making sure your nuts are in check. And now I get it. Yeah, you do, man. Because you can knock out a tiger with a good set of nuts. I can see that in your eyes that you get it too, man. That means a lot to me.

That's why you're Chief Executive Officer. That's why you're doing such a good job here, man. And everybody's really thrilled with how you've been performing. Well, that's actually why I'm here.

I was wondering... What were you wondering? Is that below? Yeah, I cut you a line there. Should I do it right now? Do it, please. Well, basically, I was... For trust.

I was... Whoa! Oh, dude. I didn't see a hungry, hungry hippo on that safari I was on. Whoa, dude. Oh. Hey. Oh, you got a nice tone to your voice.

Have you seen my sack, dude? Oh, let me see your nuts, kid. You want to see them? Yes, please. All right, let me see your nuts, kid. You want to see them? Yes, please. All right, let me see them. Thank you very much. Ta-da. Dude.

Beauty, right? Yeah, bro. Where'd you get those? I'm almost proud of the fact that I don't even have a long shaft so it can accentuate my balls. Very smart, dude. Very smart. Yeah. Thank God for that average shaft.

I'll put you at average. Yeah. Because it really sets the table for those beautiful balls. Yeah. Thank God for that average shaft. I'll put you at average. Yeah. Because it really sets the table for those beautiful balls. Yeah. And I knew you had nice nuts the moment I hired you. I know I have nice nuts. I knew you had nice nuts the moment I hired you. I told everybody.

We had an office meeting. They said, why are you hiring this guy? I said, he's got nice nuts. How's that sound? How's that sound? Everybody was a little freaked out. I said, listen, listen, listen. I know it sounds weird, but I know what nuts can do.

That's why I went to my mama one day. I was like, mama, thank you so much for giving me a thumbtack for a cock because it accentuates my balls. It accentuates my balls, ma. The family jewels, ma. That's the mojo you got in your freaking testicles. That's beautiful. And I got a freaking thumbtack for a cock, and the ladies love it. That's awesome, ma. That's the mojo you got in your freaking testicles. That's beautiful, dude. And I got a freaking thumbtack for a cock, and the ladies love it.

That's awesome, dude. That's really awesome. The ladies do love it. You know why? You know why I know? Why? Because I see it in your eyes. I see it in your eyes how happy you're making people, and that makes me happy, dude.

Thank you, dude. With whatever God gave you. Thank you. And God gave it to you. Thank you. And I'm going to give God something when I see him. Tell me. As a bump.

A blow? A blow. And I'm going to say, God, you've been doing a great job, but the party's about to get turned up. I'm wondering, you know, God made blow, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah. Without a doubt. I think getting offered his own blow, that's something that no one else has done before.

They say you can't take it with you. They don't know how good I am at hiding things. Yeah. I'm taking it with me. Up your butt. Bye-bye. All right. That's good stuff, man.

What else is cracking? Oh, dude, we watched a video about a guy who would be good friends with the tough guy. Yeah. The Miami guy, Vice. I've been looking at Vice videos lately because that's where we found the one about the China information collectors and how a society built on people surveilling each other, basically. And now they had a video about this guy who's the most Miami guy ever.

His name's Anwar. He's a former model and picture framer. And he loves Miami. And he does all the things that miami guys should do yeah looks like he does lots of drugs and he sleeps with lots of people i love how he fires off the video with a um he's like you know people always ask me this question what makes a house a home no no no about miami he's like what makes you so miami and he's like i know and i always and i always say the same question i am miami right i'm like that's not a question yeah right he was a beat his voice was really weird yeah i'd have to listen to it to get his voice right and i love in the comments they're like this guy's done so much below. He came and talk anymore. That's really what it sounds like

First million dollars about that car and wonder garden What I believe this changes a house to a home. It's not all these little memories It's not a real moment until it doesn't tell a story my career i do like what he says there it's not really a home if it doesn't tell a story right that is a pretty romantic way to think about you know decorating your place he does seem to have an incredible life story here's one of the best stories that he tells on the whole thing about a a powerful horse. This horse is a complete maniac. He was the son of the world champion.

The horse got up in two legs like that. And a kid, well, he was like six foot tall, but he was like, what, 17 years old. And it was hitting him in the head with a cloth. And I knocked the horse out. I punched him in the head and a cloth. And I knocked the horse out. I punched him in the head and grabbed him from the ring, and he went to the floor. And I knocked the horse out.

Maybe that's where I had the tough guy inspiration, because he's talking about knocking out a horse. Yeah, that was just in my head. When you were talking about that, I was like, you knocked the tiger out. Yeah, I knocked the tiger out. I bet he tells that to everyone who comes into his house. It's such a great story, because you just never see it going there. Yeah, he's like, so this horse was jumping around, so I knocked it out. It gets there so quickly, yeah. I bet he tells that to everyone who comes into his house. It's such a great story because you just never see it going there. Yeah. He's like, so this horse was jumping around, so I knocked it out.

He gets there so quickly, too. He's like, oh, hey, horse, you got to calm down a little bit, and then I punch it square in the face. He gets a little bleak towards the end when he, no, that's great. I love when he's trying to be all cautious, you know? They're like, so how many people have you slept within your bedroom he's like oh whoa whoa whoa you're gonna make me have to be like a playboy or something i can only handle one at a time okay so i made this jacuzzi that fits 10 people and then the

shower that can shower five ladies at a time yeah he's like smart enough to be modest yeah but he can't keep it up for more than like two sentences yeah he's like no i'm no prince i'm no king i don't sleep with a lot of people here's my throne though check it out yeah yeah he's a character i do love his uh sentiments on miami uh he's like where why would you live anywhere else it's a good question and yeah i get it um miami guys they're just not pretending yeah they're like this is exactly what i want they're like social norms be fucked i'm not pretending for anyone my whole family's somewhere else yeah i'm doing it for me from now on it's time for my bath it uh dude i told his story last week about or a couple weeks ago about about Sly Stallone and Richard Gere getting in a fight over Princess Diana.

And someone asked Sly about it on his Instagram, and he said it was a lie that Richard Gere made up to sell books. Oh, really? He goes, total nonsense, made up to sell books. That's funny. What do you think? I believe Richard Gere. Of course Sly doesn't like the story. loses out on the chick and and on the gal

and then uh they say him and richard gear fought and it doesn't say who the winner was but yeah you would assume sly would win so if it's a tie i give the tie goes to gear yeah for just surviving man it would be funny if these guys reacted to this stuff in like a, they go low kind of way. Not in a bad way, but they're just like, yeah, dude, Richard, you freaking won, dude. I suck. Yeah, that would be the better move. If Sly said that, he'd be like, yeah, dude, that was hilarious. Totally lost.

He was boning her. Sorry, Prince Diana, not to disrespect. But dude, that would be a much more likable route if he was like, oh, yeah, he for sure got the best of me that night. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you win some of me that night. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you win some, you lose some. Yeah. But she was really elegant and he was always debonair. Yeah.

I'd be like, wow, Sly's a pretty cool guy. Yeah. Yeah. If he's like pointing to the book, he's like stoked on the zinger by Richard Gere. Gere gets me good in chapter 27. Check it out, guys. Yeah. Maybe he was like married at the time or something and that's why he's like downplaying it.

Yeah. Yeah. Were you going to say something about the Miami guy guy though no i'm done with miami guy miami what'd you think about miami guy aaron he reminds me a little bit of uh tommy wiseau from the room oh yeah good comp same kind of hair except he has a slick ponytail and they're both from like a place that i can't pinpoint you know yeah i've i've uh waited on tommy wiseau once and he has like a a little like early 90s mercedes like just that slick euro car yeah was it what was he like uh he's pretty quiet you know you just

kind of catch a little bit of that accent. It's fun to mess around with later. For sure. Dude, last night I fired up some ASMR videos. Got the tingles going. Yeah. I used to be kind of very, ASMR is, what is it? It's autosensory meridian response, I believe. It's this feeling you get when you hear certain people,

their brains are wired. I don't know if I've talked about it in the pod before, but their brains are wired, so when they hear certain sounds, it gives this orgasmic, tingly sensation in your whole body. It starts in your head. So I'll be watching videos of people just eating fettuccine Alfredo with the mic super loud, and it's just orgasmic. That's your favorite, the fettuccine Alfredo. Yeah, there's something about the fettuccine alfredo with the mic super loud and it just it's orgasmic that's your favorite the fettuccine alfredo yeah there's something about the fettuccine what is it uh just

the chewing the smacky smack yeah it's really weird dude when my roommate walks in he's like what are you doing dude i'm like oh uh starlet his uh tell me better olive garden experience can i try to give you asmr right now yeah yeah try and make me tingle no you gotta do like whispers or like i'm chewing um so the other night i watched this movie parasite it's a korean film i forget the name of the director it's a really insightful look at class which is very rare in american cinema so i was happy to watch it i liked how the characters all came from dude you're close really you're close. Really? You're close. Am I giving you tingles?

Yeah, it's like right there. I'm talking about the film Parasite, guys. I think it's the best movie of the year. I would definitely check it out. Can I try a little bit more? Yeah. And the thing that I really enjoyed about the film also was that no matter who the character was,

they both had some good and bad in them. It kind of was like everybody's... I'm sorry. Damn, I lost it. You know, I get too wrapped up talking about the movie. Typing. Oh, typing? Yeah.

All right. Do some typing. Slower? No, I think fast. Hard. Harder. slower no i think fast hard harder type harder i can't i'm gonna break my computer i'm hitting this thing with anvil i think when we're forcing it it's got to be in private you gotta let it happen yeah that's the thing right you can't just like it's and you're in a vulnerable spot we're being filmed and recorded right now yeah yeah what what happens to you when you go to your spot uh it's just like very relaxing and just kind of i would

have it as a kid and i didn't realize what it was and there's a whole youtube like some of these these videos they have like millions of views there There's a whole like hidden ASMR community. But as a kid, I would hear, you know, people talk or like eating chips or something. And I'd be like, why does that feel so good? You know? It is nice that it was like for generations, like there wasn't a community and now y'all are coming together. Yeah, because I just thought that was weird. I was like, I guess I'm the only one who likes when people eat chips.

But now it's like a whole, I need to reach out to some dude. Maybe some stokers have the same thing. Aaron, do you have ASMR? I mean, I know I definitely did as a kid. But you lost it like the Polar Express. You can't hear that dog whistle anymore. It might be it, I don't know.

It's still inside of you dude yeah can can chad and i both try to make you tingle right now i mean i'd rather it be a lady oh come on dude open your mind bro i look like a lady sometimes sometimes the cardinal shouldn't win the world series i definitely think the cardinals all right that's working that's working yeah dude the cardinals should have won the world series and i have one d2 of in and out too and you could merge those two and then having the cardinals and i think you'll have an orgasmic asmr experience similar similar color schemes of the two so yeah i think that's true that'd be a good way if i ever had to say something like really bad news to you i just asmr it you know oh yeah like chad your golden retriever just died

it's really sad it's a good life oh dude that feels so good chad your golden retriever died but it lived a good life what george died and then you go keep going you're like keep going keep going i love dirty talk like just throwing that out there you know i've tried i'm not that good yeah i mean i don't think i'm good at it either i think i just love it yeah i know i'm not good at it i think i need to be freer i mean yeah i feel like you could let it flow oh i let it rip yeah yeah. Yeah. I think you are good at it. What makes you say you're not good at it? Because one time I recorded myself and I listened back.

With the consent, we were both super into it. Well, super into it. We were into it. And then I listened to it back and I was like, oh, Jesus, dude. I was like, you sound like an idiot. I was like, will you shut up? So don't do that anymore. But no, I do think I'm good at it.

Maybe I'm just judging my performance. But it also sucks to listen to yourself. Yeah, in any capacity. You're going to judge it. I just know mine's just very vanilla because it's just like, yeah, you like that? Cool. That's not vanilla. Saying, yeah, you like that?

There's a lot of power and meaning in that. I guess. You're saying, do you like me? That's very vulnerable. Yeah. You like that? You like that? Tell me I'm tan enough. Tell me I'm tan enough.

People are shutting off. Sorry, guys. Got lost there for a second. Whoa, dipped into my own little thing. That's why I go to meetings. All right. Dude, speaking of which, I just want to throw some love out to the ladies. I think gynecologists could be a lot better.

Why do you say that? I have a friend, and she told me she had to go to six different gynecologists before she got an accurate diagnosis on what was going on with her. Really? Yeah. She had vulvodynia. What the hell is that? I didn't know. But I wrote it down. I know what the vulva

is. That's the whole vagina. Well said, dude. Thanks. But the enthusiasm was powerful. Well, whenever I know science, I'll tell you what gets me fired up. Whenever I know science and whenever I know, whenever I've seen a movie that you haven't seen. Oh, really? Yeah. That's nice, dude. Because I'm working on expanding my cultural knowledge. Dude, you're like science and whenever i know whenever i've seen a movie that you haven't seen oh really yeah that's

nice dude because i'm i'm working on expanding my cultural knowledge dude you're like a machine at it oh thanks i'm like whatever whatever movie it is i'm like like you've seen it right you're like i haven't i'm like what i know i've missed a lot of classics no you haven't you know like every movie oh that's nice dude not every movie like every movie. Oh, that's nice, dude. Not every movie. Most of them, except Spinal Tap. That's nice. Dude, I came up. Oh, no, I'm going to use this later.

Sorry, I got uncomfortable with you complimenting me. Sorry. I railroaded it into nothing. Oh, you were talking about gynecologists. No, that was it. I just, doctors will tell you that nothing's wrong. And I know I'm like a hypochondriac, so that's what I need to hear. But oftentimes, doctors will tell you that nothing's wrong and i know i'm like a hypochondriac so that's what i need to hear but oftentimes doctors will be like nothing's wrong nothing's wrong and then something is wrong and and then so it just made me go down a rabbit hole and i looked up like 220 000 people die a year from medical mistakes right yeah and they think

it's even more because hospitals are pretty reluctant to put down that it was their fault on like the paperwork you know that's the third third leading cause of death in america yeah it's even more because hospitals are pretty reluctant to put down that it was their fault on like the paperwork you know that's the third third leading cause of death in america yeah it's just doctors like effing it up i don't want to make people paranoid to go to the doctors so go go go go that's what i'm saying is go but it's just crazy to me well people put doctors on a pedestal and they should be on a pedestal in a sense, but you've got to remember that they're human beings. Yeah. They're having bad days too. They're getting ghosted. They are eating carbs sometimes, and it's affecting them,

so it's going to affect their performance. Yeah. I remember I had something on my lip that I wanted to get checked out, and you used to expect doctors to be at your service at all times, and I called my dentist, and I'm like, hey, can you come check this out? And he's like, oh, Jerry, I'm on vacation. And I was like, I don't speak English. And he's like, oh, yeah, I was like, I got to check this out now. And he's like, I'm on vacation.

So I had to wait like four days. Yeah, you don't vacation, dude. Yeah, I was like, you're a dentist. You stay in your office. Yeah. you don't vacation, dude. Yeah, I was like, you're a dentist. You stay in your office when something happens to me. Your vacation is when you get a charming patient like me and you get to work on my grill, dog. Yeah, yeah. Doggy dog.

Dude, I, yeah, but that makes me respect pilots a lot, that they're normal people who are fallible just like us, but there hasn't been a crash, a deadly crash, commercial crash in America in 10 years. Yeah. yeah yeah like they're keeping it together a little bit you know what i mean yeah it is crazy when they're landing a plane you're like you're like man this is a huge fucking thing yeah and they don't fuck it up literally ever yeah that we're coming in dropping altitude and uh cool smooth landing um i was gonna say oh stoker called me out for mentioning the dao de ching i saw that was he calling you out or was i i don't know i think

he was i think he was kind of calling me out he's like chad's mentioned this four times in the last two episodes and i just want to say to him that's the only book i've read so that's gonna be my reference yeah i think for him it was like yeah i mean that's the only book you need to read yeah fuck you i don't know no i thought he was more like trying to say like uh like uh this book must mean a lot to chad um maybe because i read that comment too i wasn't really offended i just thought it was kind of funny but you know maybe it's because it's me reading it um it's he says my name i like perk up i'm like but it doesn't matter no it doesn't matter at all i know i sound uh bitter now no you don't have funny uh it is no you don't sound you don't sound bitter you almost never sound bitter oh thanks i know i always worry i'm bitter i am a little bit like i'm working on it with like

gratitude like just being less resentful and just grateful to people yeah it's getting a little easier though like you're right like practice does help likeful and just grateful to people. Right, yeah. It's getting a little easier, though. Like, you're right. Like, practice does help. Like, if you just practice this shit and you slow down your brain a little bit, you can rework it. Well, it is so tough in this industry, especially. But then the more you read about, like, I'm listening to, I know I just said I've only read one book,

but I'm listening to this book on Pixar. And the more you hear about all this stuff, teamwork the dream work baby let's go um so and you know you see other comics and stuff they get stuff and you're like why why are they getting this stuff you know it's just like there's enough food for everyone i know but i can be like a cunt where like someone like like they get fired from something i'm like good yeah yeah yeah i think everyone has that thought though yeah i there's i don't think that i think that i think everyone has that thought and the key is you need to recognize that thought and you know like you did with that tiger just the way uh anwar did with that horse just knock it out yeah yeah and then like someone will say

something kind of like that i think is like dumb or that i don't agree with and the loudest voice in my head would be like just want to say like nerd shut up geek yeah you know but like how's that yeah and then i'm glad i'm like mature enough now and like my brain slowed down enough from like meds and medication and therapy to just like put that thought away and just be like hey that's really chill man yeah and then like if i do have to like if i do disagree i can do it in a way that's like helpful and not like just like about hurting somebody's spirit yeah well you yeah i think you you realize that there's there's no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.

It gets you farther from the pot of gold. It gets you closer to the lucky charm guy doing blow. You're like wailing on this person emotionally and mentally and then like other people are running over and grabbing the gold and then you turn back and go, hey that's my gold! And they're like, well you were too busy trying to like destroy this thing over

here for you to even get a whiff of it. Yeah, i'll have fantasies of like epic comebacks you know or like if someone if someone says this i'm gonna be like well actually you know e equals mc squared boom and but then you you play it on your head and you're like then we're both gonna feel bad yeah nothing good has of that. Takes more power to let a jabroni live. Yeah. There's a French phrase for that. When you think of the comeback too late,

I think it's, L'esprit est l'escalier. Hmm. Yeah. So, I mean, it's, Bonjour. Yeah. Konichi.

What is the, Bro. What is the translation? I think it's like a thought too late or something like that. Oh, nice. But I mean, it's so common that even the French

came up with a phrase for it. Not even, but like, you know, it's universal. The French are wise. They know arguments and boning. Yeah. I like their style. Bon mot?

Bon jour. A bon mot is a witty remark. Is everything cool in French start with the word bone yeah my friend reggie has the best joke ever what he's like do you know what bon jovi translates to english good jovi i think i've said that on here before it's just a killer line i wanted to reference this about my dad too i didn't forget to bring up my dad has the best saying for people who complain a lot uh-huh he goes they're a moaner and he goes he has two friends who i guess complain i don't think they complain more than most people everyone

complains but my dad always goes oh he's one of the moan brothers yeah he's a moaner yeah i'm a moaner that's it looks like in uh joker spoiler alert again when robert jr is like there's a lot of self-pity going on it would have been funny that you're kind of a moaner you're a moaner you're a moaner you're a moaner you're moaning all right what up stokers my dog and i are big fans of the pod recently fallen upon difficult and troubling times though and it has my stoke levels draining at an alarming rate we've been boys for years and more than that we've been fishing bros and ipa aficionados together recently though my dog has hit it big on the gram and to put it in other words he's blowing up i feel like he no longer has time for me now that he has so many influencer friends with super bronze bods and world record sized fish picks. I'm stoked for my bro, but how

can I preserve our relation without holding him back from immense internet fame? Thanks, dudes. That's a bummer, man. I feel for you, dude. I mean, I think he's riding this wave right now. I don't think for you, I think, you know, again, it's the art of letting go. You know, just let him ride this wave. And when he comes around, be a good friend. You know, be there for him. Unless he's being egotistical then maybe say something uh but you know i think he's gonna ride this way but eventually he's gonna come back yeah and i think

uh you know when this kind of stuff happens to people they probably have like a period of time where they're like oh my god i have all these followers right now i'm gonna go to freaking this club and hang out with influencers and stuff but then eventually he'll realize that that's not what life is all about that's not bringing him true happiness and he's gonna come back to his main dog for sure i think i think that's true dude like the fish is going on its journey right now but it's gonna return upstream to you one day yeah dude it reminds me of i mentioned him a week or two ago, the writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. So he blew up and then one of his friends did a story a lot like this for NPR's This American Life. And he basically talked to Ta-Nehisi about how he felt like he changed and how it made him kind of insecure being around him.

And it was really interesting because you realize like Ta-Nehisi did change. He did change a little bit. Like he got a little more bougie and stuff like that but his friend also changed you know what i mean yeah and so i think it can affect how you're acting sometimes so you know try and monitor that as much as you monitor him and then the other thing that tanahasi said to him that i thought was like pretty cool is he's like because they're both writers he's like yeah dude like i hang out he's like you hang out with like forget who he says but like someone like malcolm gladwell or something he's like yeah and then he's like yeah dude like i hang out he's like you hang out with like forget who he says but like someone like malcolm gladwell or something he's like yeah and then he's like yeah but dude

malcolm gladwell's like not smarter than you yeah like he's like had a few hits and stuff but he's not smarter than you and like these guys that your boy's taking fish pics with they're not better fishermen than you they're not cooler than you yeah like you guys are dogs for a reason yeah because you got good shit to offer and you're a cool dude and so i wouldn't let the optics of who he's hanging out with affect how you feel about yourself dude because you're a legit dude yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't blow up this friendship either you know just keep him in your squad uh let him do his thing and i think what's gonna happen is he's gonna go on this journey and

he's gonna come back even more grateful to have you as his dog because he realizes that you're the true quality dog in his life yeah and as his life changes he's gonna want more people who really know knew him before like when he was in the hills not in the palace right and and that's gonna mean a lot to him yeah i mean look at lebron dude with like Maverick Carter. He's got like his, his closest buddies or his, his childhood buddies. Cause they're, they're, you know,

through thick and thin. And yeah, I think you're, you got to prove it now through the thick. You've been there through the thin. Now just be there through the thick. Yeah. And then at the end of it,

you guys are going to fucking have a nice time, dude. Cause you're going to get some access. Cause you know, he's going to have some cool shit coming his way and he's going to want to share that. Yeah. And it's going to be fun to share with you. And then you guys are going to get to experience that stuff together and you'll get to get some access because you know he's going to have some cool shit coming his way and he's going to want to share that yeah and it's going to be fun to share with you and then you guys are going to get to experience that stuff together and you'll get to meet all these tan

fisher guys who sound legit but not more legit yeah so in the meantime dude keep landing some huge marlin maybe land a dorado make some fire ceviche, throw some lime in there, and eat up, dude. Yeah, for sure. Catch a killer whale, man. Yeah. But catch and release with the killer whale. Yeah. It's not a mount fish. Catch the killer whale with good vibes, say what up, and then let it go on its way.

Maybe you're not allowed to fish mammal. I know they serve dolphin at some places. Oh, that's a bummer. Yeah. You just see that on the menu and you're like in america you're like okay so you just killed the intellectual equivalent of an eight-year-old you think that's okay yeah restaurateur yeah this thing was surfing like eight hours ago yeah when i took the uh catalina flyer out here they were riding on the side of the boat yeah

dear savants of stoke new stoker here i dig the pod so much dudes anyways to the question me and my lady friend go way to high school and have kept it in touch throughout college i dig this chick and wonder why we never dated we get along same interests same beliefs etc i have popped that scary question of why haven't we dated she quickly said i don't know you're not my type it's been a few years we still chill and hang on the rag and it seems more and more that our feelings might be mutual for each other so what do i do here dudes do i shoot my shot and get shot down a second time or do i sit idly by and enjoy the friendship we have i'm at a total loss dude thanks for getting me amped on life and raising my stoke daily dudes ross so he asked her out

already once a while back but he thinks that now the the feelings will be reciprocated did he say how much time i think a couple years oh yeah i think i'd get back in there yeah dude you don't know until you ask yeah but the thing i wouldn't do is burning up years of your time harboring feelings yeah just make sure you do squats before i oftentimes when i have to make a you know something that takes a lot of nerves, I do leg day because I get those fire juices going. Walk in there proudly and say, what up? Do you want to get ice cream?

That was great. What is up, legends? I am a current college bro who has recently gotten into your podcast. Got to say they are truly epic. My question to you bros is this. I played lax in the high school but broke my back, which kind of threw a wrench in my college playing plans and I lost a lot of offers. Nevertheless, I put my nose to the

grindstone and worked super hard in PT and training to work back to my former glory. I was walking onto the D1 team in my college when I found out I had broken my spine again and this time there would be no coming back. I feel like I lost a solid, I'm sorry, dog. I feel like I lost a solid group of bros on my journey, and the stoke has been pretty low, because now I feel like an expat with no home and nowhere to belong.

I'd love the dude's advice. I'd like to add something else, my friends. There is an amazingly cute, smart, funny girl at my college, practically the totes package that I randomly run into at times. We always make eyes at each other and smile, and I get the vibe she's me and i'm deafening her the splash is in the pond is the splash in the pond is this i don't know her name or who she is how do i approach her to get her name and cuff the girl of my dreams well dude i like how you're already kind of working past the issue and looking to other things to get stoked on you know like a potential relation. And I appreciate that you work so hard

to get your back ready and that, I'm sorry you had that setback, but Phil Knight was like a college runner, but what he's going to be remembered for is starting Nike. So you could have your big thing that's defining in your future. And I think with your industrious attitude,

it's definitely coming. And with this gal, I think you just got to walk up to her and say, hey, I'm Swississ he signed it swiss and say hey i'm swiss what's up i think that's it and then from there you just roll with it that got me fired up i mean what else is there to say i want to go to dairy queen now she's got hey hey i'm swiss how's it going hey do you mind if i bother you for a second that's always a good one yeah hey do you's it going hey do you mind if i bother you for a second that's always a good one yeah hey do you mind if i do you mind if i bug you for a second you know what they always say they don't always say anything uh yeah dude i would you know what i always whenever

whenever i get uh fearful or you know i'm first off i'm sorry that you're going through this. It's a tough situation. But I always try to have the mindset that anything that happens, it's working in my favor. No matter whether it is or it isn't. If you have that mindset, like this is my path. Everything that happens is something that is happening in my favor. Even though it may look like the worst disaster in the world at the moment just know that it is a stepping stone to great success in whatever field or mindset or whatever thing that may be whatever direction you're headed yeah so you know i i totally uh i feel for your situation my dog but um I would just look at this as a stepping

stone towards a new path that's going to be even more epic like you were saying with the Nike guy you know maybe this is maybe you want to explore the arts maybe you want to explore entrepreneurship maybe you want to build a bridge I don't know maybe you want to like go like you know

be a riverboat captain in Idaho Falls and know the river like the back of like you know be a riverboat captain yeah idaho falls yeah and know the river like the back of your hand yeah and be like oh that rock's a little fun to bump off of yeah don't go too fast because you flip right maybe you just want to take a raft down the mississippi river like huck finn yeah this is a fresh start for you making friends on that trip yeah aaron how you doing uh how do you mean just in general oh dude talk about that weirdo

oh yeah I got a weird text out of nowhere it said uh I'll read to you uh in its entirety

let's see this is pretty cuckoo bananas hi Aaron apologies for the message out of the blue I'm Ben I'd like to speak to you about purchasing

my home address uh do I have the right person some guy just messaged him was like yo i want to buy your house that's like the beginning of the movie enough with jlo that guy turns out to be a psycho dude people who do stuff like that yeah but he's also the rocketeer dude respect for sure for sure um yeah this is weird were you looking to sell your house no i just bought it like a year and a half ago but he blocked the dude but i'm like that's kind of a bold move because the guy knows where you

live so he could just show up and knock and be like you block me you're freaking him out you hurt my feelings did you block me well oh am i freaking you out my bad dude it's either that or or i text him back and fuck with him and then he comes to my house and kills me so i mean like you could just say it's not for sale. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Yeah. Even engaging at all. You don't want to engage in a dialogue with this dude.

I want him to think, oh, maybe I did have the wrong number. You don't want to do that. Or you could be aggressive. Eat a dick, dude. It's not for sale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eat a hot bowl of dicks.

You just get hammered and you write something to him. You're like, bro, you think I would ever sell you my house? You a clown dude yeah it's like a really i'm definitely gonna buy your house well he's like a really genuine sweet guy and he's like hey man i just would really like to purchase your house eat a hot bowl of dicks what that's motivating dude that would send me on a journey of like getting enough purchasing power to make sure i made you eat those dicks yourself yeah metaphorically i'd spoon feed you those dicks in escrow uh i just want to start off by saying i've been following you guys for a while now and i love the pod and gram content i recently went bleached for the reef and got a lawnmower 2.0

and got both of my domes have never looked more fresh oh fire dude thank you dude please keep me anonymous anyways i'll get right to it's a long one i'm in my final year at college and i've been on and off with this one girl since sophomore year it started off as just hooking up casually but then transformed into a relationship we've broken up and i've gotten back together about three times since then and we're currently on that bf gf page again but recently i've had feelings of not wanting to be around her. I'm not trying to be an asshole because I do genuinely care for her, but I had a realization that maybe our personalities don't match. She's very loud in public and doesn't mind

bringing attention to herself and has even gone so far as yelling at guys for staring at her for a little too long when we're together. I'm more laid back and generally don't like to be the center of attention, especially in public situations involving strangers. She also has a tendency to talk over me in group conversations, which really gets on my nerves, mainly because I never try to do that to anyone,

especially her. Also, she recently almost got into a fistfight with a guy at a bar for touching her shoulder and asking if she had a boyfriend, which eventually got her kicked out. I was on the other side of the bar with my boy at the time and essentially got my night ruined as I had to apologize to her friend group and leave with her.

This is not something I want to deal with constantly because it happens enough to the point where I generally don't want to be around her in social settings, praying she doesn't cause a scene. And when I tell her something like, Hey, I just want to be with the guys tonight, she ends up annoyed and it becomes another thing I have to deal with. So recently I've been lying to her saying stuff like, Oh, I got too fucked up to come over or telling her I'm not going to party where I am. So she doesn't come. And I just have time with the boys. Does this make me an asshole? I seriously do care about her, but there are points where I can't stand being around her. What do I do?

We have shared some magical moments together where I think to myself, this is the one I want to be with, but she does crazy shit enough for me to rethink those times and put more weight into the bad than the good. I am just not ready for a girlfriend, or is this girl just not the one for me? Please help, bros.

My dog, I think you answered the question with that quesh. I mean, it doesn't sound like it's a good fit. Yeah, dude, I agree with Chad. Yeah. I mean, I totally understand that feeling where you have these special moments and you go back on them and you're like, oh, I can't give that up. But then I think if you look at the bigger picture, if you're at a place where you're actively ignoring her

and coming up with excuses not to hang out with her and she's causing trouble for you socially and uh she talks over him is that what you said yeah stuff like that then uh you know i think you got to rip that band-aid off and i think i'm gonna venture a guess i think you'll feel much better when you do yeah dude if it was just the talking over you thing i'd be like okay talk to her about that that's something she can work on but she's doing so many things that are too much to deal with and that and that don't seem like easily fixable it sounds like she needs to do some pretty serious work on herself. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

I don't. And it's just not the right fit. Yeah. Yeah. I think you are not an asshole at all. I think you sound like a really nice guy. Yeah. And you're a little in over your head with this girl.

And, you know, you can say goodbye kindly and with love but and i know people like that they're charming they're charismatic and they can fill you full of life but she doesn't have it regulated enough she doesn't have control of the bull the bull's got control of her and you don't want to go along for that ride because you're gonna get you're just to be an externality. Yeah. Oh, what was I going to say? God damn it. My dog. Oh, I forgot it. What were you talking about? You were talking about the bowl.

Like just that she doesn't have control of her chaos, really. Yeah, and this is what I was going to say. I think you need to start in the most respectful way putting yourself first a little bit um because you gotta look at if you're not happy then it's just gonna be an unpleasant experience for everyone and i think you gotta be in charge of your own happiness and take control of that and if there's someone in your life that's dragging you down and making you feel down in the dumps, like you're at the bottom of the well and you can't get out

and you want to get pokey, I think you've got to say, you know what, I've got to put myself first in this situation. So this was a really nice experience, but I'm going to go fish for marlin. Yeah, let's get you on your way to sweet fin pokey. Yeah. Yeah. All right. What up, Chad and JT?

I wanted to preface this by saying your pod is super hype and is my favorite to listen to by far. Thanks, man. So basically my stoke levels have been super low for the past couple of months because I've had to be on the school and work grind almost nonstop. When I do get to hang with the boys, it's always the same stuff, just pounding brews, smoking up and going to parties. But I never feel stoked about any of it. I feel like I do the same things every day and I'm not moving forward. I guess my question is how do I raise my stoke levels when I don't have much of anything to be stoked on at the moment? Appreciate you boys. Ian. My dog, um uh sounds like you're stuck in a rager rut um and uh you know sometimes you can rage too much and when raging becomes your whole life then you

lose the stoke for the rage i think you need to find uh you need to diversify your bonds and by that i mean you need to find other things to do in your life you know some extracurricular activities find a mission for yourself so that you can earn those celebrations so it's not just what you do you know i think for me personally i think my key to happiness is when i'm making progress when i'm learning things when i'm developing myself and becoming a better dude so i think if you can find a mission for yourself that you can dedicate yourself to, whether it's in the workforce or something else,

I think that will expand your life and make you much happier. Excellent. I also think, my dude, that you're just worn out. You know, you've been on the school and work grind nonstop, and then every weekend you're getting after it partying. That's all stuff that takes a lot of energy. And I think you probably like partying,

but just the repetition of it has made it feel like a chore to you. So I think if you just take one weekend, like after you hear this, you just take that weekend just for yourself. Just force yourself to stay in, watch some movies, read some shits, maybe, you know, do some self-love. Yeah. And then just recharge your batteries. And then I think you'll go into the next week and be like, oh, yeah, I do like actually hanging out with my boys and after a little bit.

It's just you need variety. All right. Last question. You and JT rock. I wish I was like you. I'm a 50-year-old bro, and I just realized I've never partied in my entire life. All I've done is work and eat a lot of doo-doo.

Can you help me? I want to learn how to party. I even have a cool biz now that won't work either. If you're a real bro, please help a fellow bro to no longer be a loser. Peace, Sean. I'm a dude. What do you want? Sean I mean dude what do you want

you want the shortcut to getting after it because we all know what that is just go out get hammered you know but you want to really know

how to really dig deep and party there's only one important step to take and that's the first one just get in there get in there and don't have ideas

of what it means to party because it's different for everybody. And you figure that out one party at a time. You go to a party, you feel awkward. You stay at that party. You sit in that discomfort. How do you get invited to the party? People at work, you join some rec ball leagues.

You just go to bars. And slowly but surely, you discover how you party. What makes you you at the party? Are you the dancing guy? Are you the conversation guy? Are you the guy who's good at mixing drinks? You'll figure it out. I can't really add anything to that.

I mean, that was perfect. I would just say on top of that, don't eat doo-doo. Yeah, stop eating doo-doo. That's gonna make you feel terrible. Yeah, doo-doo's no good. And he says, a business that sucks

he says i even have a cool biz now but that won't work either yeah uh he's got a cool biz i don't know a little more optimism i mean you know put some heart and soul into your biz while you're pounding beer bongs dude um maybe roll up a fat blunt and do your taxes combine the two try things out be spontaneous you know get a get a tin of skull throw in a fat dap

and think of a new marketing plan and then if the thought of eating doo doo comes to your mind again say no no more doo doo stay out doo doo I'm giving you homework bro I want you to go comes to your mind again, say no. No more doo-doo. Stay out, doo-doo. I'm giving you homework, bro. I want you to go to a bar that has a dance floor,

and I want you to get on that floor, and I want you to dance by yourself for three songs. Maybe if you're looking for a move, best one to go to is hip gyrations. Drink in hand, hands up, gyrate your hips. Let everyone know that you may be 50 years old, but you can still move those hips.

People will talk to you. If you hip gyrate, they will talk to you. People are attracted to freedom. So just try and work towards being free and you can't get there in a day so don't put that pressure we underestimate we overestimate what we can do in one year and underestimate what we can do in five years bill gates talking about fucking raging that's what the fuck he was talking about that's what the fuck i'm talking about when i talk to bill gates i talked to him about raging windows 95 that celebration when they were all

all those geeks were up there getting after steve bomber dude just raging the bomber bill gates is worth something of a billion dollars and he gyrated his hips and so can you dude that freaking nerd got down on the dance floor and now he's serving up cricket protein for the world. He's a nerd. I get a lot of respect for him. Alright, Chad. Who is your Beef of the Week? My Beef of the Week is the shark

that attacked Mick Fanning. This was a few years ago. Okay, thank God. He's okay. Good. The white lightning is okay. The shark that attacked Mick Fanning. This was a few years ago. Okay, thank God. He's okay. Good. The white lightning is okay. That's his nickname.

Rip Curl. So I'm going to take you guys on the scene. 2000, I believe, 15, Jay Bay. That's Jeffries Bay in South Africa. Mick Fanning was out there in a heat with Julian Wilson. It was the finals of the Jay-Bay competition I believe it was the Billabong Pro Mick Fanning sitting out there just being the white lightning

being like you know I'm the fastest surfer in the water I know I can crush this heat even though I'm going up against Julian who is a prodigy and looks really good and unbeknownst to him a freaking Julian who is a prodigy and looks really good and unbeknownst to him a freaking shark comes up

and pulls on his leash and you see a fin come out of the water on the live webcast and you see a fin come out of the water and McFanning gets pulled down a little bit and you see him freak out and then he gets pulled underwater and then you see McFanning then he gets pulled underwater and then you see mick fanning fist

flying he's attacking the shark whoa he's in full karate mode muay thai jujitsu freaking uh tai chi he is attacking this shark just beating the fuck out of it and he came away unscathed dude no podcast in history has talked more about human versus beast fighting than this one today. That's right. Put it in the Hall of Fame, dudes. And Mick, it's going to be your photo, dude. So my beef was with that shark, although I do love sharks. There's a huge stigma around sharks, and I support them, and I love them.

But this shark in particular, he messed up the finals, dude. and then Julian Wilson showed his true colors as a epic bro. You know what Julian Wilson did when the shark attacked McFanning? He recognized what was going on. He paddled toward the shark. Whoa.

So I'm going to help out my dog. And he was paddling towards the shark, working his lats. And then the shark swam away. Because he got socked in the nose. That's what's up. So that's my beef. What's your beef? Dude, my beef of the week is a personal one.

So Chad and I are working on a project. And we're at an office, which is kind of weird to be at an office, but we dig it. You know, it's got good vibes. And today everyone came dressed in Halloween costumes. And then there was a vote to pick what was the best Halloween costume. And then I look at what my outfit is described as, and it says 80s bro. So for a little context,

Chad and I are the biggest bros at this office so that's not my costume i'm jane fonda aerobics instructor from the 80s they just wrote me as 80s bro which was super demeaning dude it was straight up racist i was like 80s bro i didn't make a big deal about it because you know you got to keep your chin up and just just keep you know don't let him see his sweat but i added i was about to cross out bro but i realized that'd be too dramatic of a move you know it'd be like i hate my own self so i just wrote 80s bro dance instructor and added that but i did not like how people just took my costume at superficial value we're just like oh he's a bro so he's being an 80s bro you know yeah i was being it's messed up i've been a 2019 bro in a costume it's messed up dude people judged you

it's like yeah dude it's like yeah bro yeah bro can i just be a dance instructor yeah can it just say dance instructor yeah aaron like what's up dude yeah and what's up with what i mean but like everything like did i get like discriminated on a little bit disrespected oh yeah oh yeah dude dude oh yeah if i didn't have bleach blonde hair and uh this voice and just that face that i make where i'm like what and that cool vibe oh dude and that stoke oh man you're spending it positive thank you dude because i was i was feeling so negative about it you know well bro sometimes it feels like people aren't seeing the whole me well bro is what you make it that's so true you could be a You could be a bro, but the only reason they think you're a bro is because you have a cool vibe. Yeah.

But then you throw out some Edgar Allen Poe, and they're like, damn, bro, this guy knows Poe. And that rhymes. All right, Chad, who is your babe of the week? My babe of the week is Ed Catmule. Ed Catmule is a freaking dude who is the president of Pixar and Disney Animation. Pixar Animation and Disney Animation. I'm listening to his book right now, and he is just a beast. He is a guy who had a dream.

I'm going to make an animated movie with computers, and I'm going to realize animated movie with computers and i'm gonna realize this dream through thick and thin i'm just gonna be a freaking bat in a cave and i'm gonna come and reach the light and i'm gonna turn into a dove or an eagle and soar high with a bug's life and toy story um yeah he just tells a story about you know how he started with his dream and then he started working with steve jobs steve jobs would come at him hard and he'd be like look i got this great idea i'm gonna take your job it's gonna be awesome and he'd be like you know what steve i don't think that's the best idea i have my vision i want to work with you but you know don't just take my job um and he uh he stuck it out stayed in the thick of it and then came out

with toy story and then just dominated and then he's just on a path but he's been analyzing his path through thick you know um you know just constantly learning constantly re-ingesting what do i need to do better what can what values do we have as a company you know what's working what's not who do we need to can um and uh i think one of the most epic things he's talking about is he's like you know people in this industry they preach about the importance of ideas what reigns supreme is ideas story is most important he's he's like, I get that. But I'm going to argue that people are most important. It's the team. Because where do ideas come from?

People. Yep. So he just seems like a really solid, good dude who's brought us some epic hits. I mean, Toy Story, that changed my world, dude. I never looked at my Slinky the same way. So, Ed Catmull, you're a babe. Dude, Hampton Young has the best Toy Story joke

where he says he has a friend who invited him over one time and, like, fucked a Hulk Hogan doll. And then he said his friend would fuck him all the time. And then he's like, can you imagine if Toy Story was real and the hulkster just walks over everybody goes hey we got to kill this fucking kid it might be my favorite joke of all time yeah i remember that'd be my favorite joke of all time he's into some weird shit and he's a freak the hulk yeah oh we got to this fucking kid brother that's a dark toy store yeah um dude my baby of the week is this guy at the gym tonight so i went to uh this gym to box and just like hit the bag and then um we were doing some rounds near each other and i went up to him and i was like hey dude do you want to put on your music

because i was playing like r&b like i had brian mcknight back to one playing which is like a super romancey song and not really something he'd box to but he gets me hyped and then he was like i'm like hey dude i know my music's kind of weird you want to put on your stuff he goes nah dude it's nice good change of pace and he's like and be weird dude be we be you be weird and i was like thanks man so i went back to hitting the bag and he got me motivated because he was doing extra bag work not taking breaks in between the bell and so he i did a couple extra rounds because of him and then as i was leaving i was just like you know what i like to spar on thursdays at muay thai but i couldn't make it on time today so i just was like hey dude do you want to get in the ring and

spar is that weird he's like no let's do it and then we just went in there and we sparred for a couple rounds and he he totally uh bested me but he was chill about he didn't throw too much he was a little cocky afterwards but hey you got to be like that. He was stinging me. And I got a really good workout and I was dying afterwards. And then he's like, hey dude, it's only weird if like I've never seen you before in the gym and you ask, it's like your first day and you ask to spar people. And I was like, yeah, that is weird. If it's your first day in the gym, you're like, hey man, you want to get in the ring and fight? Yeah. Yeah. That's too much. But we had seen each other in there a bunch. And so he knew I was like mellow and we just had a

really nice time uh punching each other so uh it was really cool and he's just a nice guy he teaches pilates i might go check out his class now nice yeah just a good dude did he land any on your face uh not too much we were going pretty soft and mostly focusing on the body but yeah he hit me with a couple jabs and stuff yeah yeah he was just he had defense. Like every time I'd poke him in one of his arms, wherever the opening was, he would slot in a punch. Yeah. And I realized, I was like, oh, this guy is just technically better than me. Yeah.

But I think if I keep working, I'll be able to get some shots on him. How long have you been boxing? A couple of years now. Yeah. Didn't mean anything when I fought that 6, 7-hander. Only a couple of years now? Yeah, just a couple of years. I did it a little bit when I was in my teens.

And I did karate growing up. But yeah, just a couple years. But I feel good right now. And it's fun throwing kicks because it gives my shoulders some relief. And I feel like it tones up the body more. Yeah. I enjoyed fake sparring with you at the office today. That was fun, yeah.

Yeah. It's just a great feeling, right? When you're dancing around, throwing shots. Yeah. And I hugged you after we did it once because I really feel close to people after i was trying to go with the grab that they do yeah you were clenching is that what it's called yeah i uh yeah i i've never really been attracted to the sport but every time i kind of do it i'm like this is fun yeah jack's uh all right chad who is your legend of the week my legend of the week is my new apartment.

Congrats, my dog. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I signed the lease on a new apartment. I'm moving in around Thanksgiving. Most of the thing I'm fired up about is it has a balcony with ample sunnage. So there's going to be lots of sun coming on me at all times.

It's a brand new building. I got fire appliances. I got in-unit washer and dryer, which I'm stoked on, and central air. So all the things that I envisioned for my apartment have come to life. So I'm really stoked on it. I can't wait to bronze on that balcony. Maybe I'll put a hammock out there. Maybe I'll put a table out there.

Maybe I'll put a grill out there. i'll put a grill out there i don't know the possibilities are endless so that's why my legend of the week is my new apartment love it dude i'm so jacked to come visit you there that'd be cool and it's been a good search and like it the place looks badass man it yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'll get a dog. Yeah. What kind of doggy? I mean, I love golden retrievers. I want a golden retriever. That's nice, dude. Aaron, what kind of doggy do you think I should get?

Dude. You're pretty active. Yeah. Super active. But you're not home all that much. Right. You're never home. Shit. That's tough.

I'm thinking after this project we're working on i'll be home more but no you won't yeah you're gonna be even busier damn it so you might want to go smaller than retriever i can't do that dude i can't do it aaron i can't say it to him it's not my place but i appreciate you coming in with it you know what i really like uh as a beagle oh dude cute dog but you know what the thing about beagles are they're explorers yeah that's true oh dude oh wow that's cute my dad had a beagle they're cuties uh like a pocket beagle is is a smaller version of one it's pretty cool but they're explorers so they they they get lost sometimes they venture yeah but i think a pocket one's not going to venture as far.

It might just go to the next floor down. Yeah. Plus, they've got tracking beacons and shit now. Yeah. Dude, my dad's girlfriend's dog is a golden retriever. Sweaty, slobbering, lovely guy. He just ruined my jeans one day. I'm still pissed.

But he just goes trash pillaging at night. They just let him run away, and then my dad's like, hey, we got to find the dog. And then like two miles away, he's just in someone's backyard. And they're like, Wilson, get in the car. I'm like, this guy just roams free. It's like in a gang, one man gang. Wilson. JT Wilson's gone again.

He's dumpster diving. We think he's behind the restaurant. Plunk, come with me. I'm like, how about you just keep the dog in the yard but my dad's like come on he needs to run it's good for him yeah yeah i like guys encouraging him to be free yeah for sure yeah that's the thing i don't want to i don't want to confine a golden retriever to an apartment that seems cruel but maybe you'll make time for it and the places we're working are going to let you bring your dog right yeah yeah and don't and

you're going to train your dog because like yeah and don't and you're gonna train your dog because like dude when i was in an office manager and people would bring in their wildling dogs and they would just like thrash phones and piss and shit everywhere and i'd be like hey chief just uh ripped up another phone and they'd be like chief no chief never does stuff like that i'm like chief does that every day you gotta open your eyes to the reality of who your dog is all right i was always like you know what i'm just gonna bring like my most fucked up family member who's got like the worst problems i'm just gonna bring him into work one time yeah like what what what's wrong with max just let him do what he wants he's a good

guy like max stole all of our spoons again you know to do heroin off of them like oh not max he doesn't do stuff like that um all right dude my legend of the week is uh inspired by mcfanning it's christine zanawi remember we looked at this lady like a week ago she is a shark whisperer right like legit can communicate with sharks in ways that no other human can. I mean, is it verbal? Is it nonverbal? It's probably nonverbal. She can like tickle their bellies and rub their backs with like tiger sharks, scary looking creatures. And she's just a total piece of them.

She wears chain mail. But you got to watch the video on YouTube. Just say woman is a shark whisperer. Type that in. And she's like petting them. And then the coolest part is they get hook stuck in their mouths from like bad fishermen and she started pulling the hooks out and once she did it to a couple sharks more sharks started showing up with hooks in their mouth so she's literally their resident dentist i mean how cool is like how do you even get into that walk of life

where that's what you're doing. You just follow your bliss. Get out there. She gets out there. And it's unbelievable just watching her tickle a shark's belly. Yeah, she like works them into it. She like pets them, then she just shoves her whole arm up their mouth. Yeah.

And they're like, ah, I love this. Yeah, she's helping. She's literally sticking her arm in the most dangerous place it could go. Yeah. And so far they're trusting her. She hugs sharks. Very cool.

That's awesome. Chad, what is your quote of the week? Okay. Rafiki comes in hot in Lion King when he's giving Simba some tough love. And he goes, you know, he's trying to convince Simba to come back to become the rightful king that he is. And he goes, oh yes, the past can hurt.

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it. That's from Rafiki. Rafiki. It's hard to look back. Well don't remember it so i'm good mine is from the movie ransom with mel gibson we were talking about it somewhere

and uh someone he's like a rich uh airline ceo and uh someone kidnaps his son and then he just decides to take matters into his own hand i can't remember if this is before or after he says look i've got two million dollars and you're never going to see any of it i'm putting this money towards whoever captures you so get used to running but this might be before he makes that call so he's talking to the guy who has his son and who is obviously a psychopath on the phone and uh he goes is it dark where you're calling from got the shades down kind of like a cellar right like a cave well you better get used to that you better get it you And he goes, Who do you think you're dealing with? Give me the money. Fuck you and your two million. Don't you understand English, you useless piece of shit? No money.

None. Let me tell you something. You think you're suffering now, huh? You got no idea what suffering is. If I don't get the cash in one hour, this kid isn't dead. I don't get my son back. I mean, real soon, you better kill yourself. Because when I catch up with you, I'm going to take my goddamn time.

By the time we're finished, you're going to wish you weren't born. I'll have your head on a fucking pike. Do you understand me? Fuck you. I'll fucking kill him right now. You kill him, you kill yourself, you motherfucker. Give me back my son. And then he drops the phone.

He goes, ah, ah. Dude, he had to play hardball with these kidnappers. I like it. I dig it. It's as intense as some of his later phone calls. Yeah. Oh, dude. Oh, dude, good ref.
