what's your dream going deep Chad and JT ooh yeah what up stokers of stoke nation this is Chad Kroger coming in with the going deep with Chad and JT podcast and I'm here with my compadre

Jean Thomas what up boom clap I like that dude the song was on recently coming in with the Going Deep with Chad and JT podcast. And I'm here with my compadre, Jean-Thomas Wadup. Boom, clap. I like that. Dude, the song was on recently. I was at a gym or something, and it was like, they're like, boom, clap,

I'm into my heart now. And I was fucking jamming. It gets you going. Yeah, I was on the treadmill, just arms flailing. I was pumped. Boom, clap, the sound of my heart those beat drops on and on and on and on yeah it's good stuff yeah do you think they knew

that that chorus would be the anthem of stoke nation no i don't and that's why I like it for sure is because not cause like I'm appropriating but I'm like I'm I'm trying to take something

that you wouldn't think could belong hmm well no maybe they felt I'm sure she's stoked it belongs to anyone yeah

I don't think she saw it coming but I think she'd be stoked if she found out yeah for sure and I'm hoping one day she does yeah man maybe she does know I'm hoping Stokoke niche gets big enough where it reaches her doorstep yeah and she's like oh my god all this stoke has been done in my name that's phenomenal that's truly

phenomenal and i'll say yeah charlie thank you so much for the inspiration yeah and she'll be like no thank you for the inspiration and now i'm gonna write a sequel called the boomest clappist of stokers of stoke nation for the stokers of stoke nation i'm like now when that banger comes out it's just gonna be next level boom clap jt made a great catchphrase out of my that's a song i already wrote it what's her name charlie charlie xcx oh sweet cool yeah she wrote that song i love it the iconopop song oh she wrote that yeah i saw iconopop like two months ago live it was at like some like weird kind of private party um but it was literally in a room like the size of this podcast room and everyone just had their phones up and i posted like a video of it and everyone's like ew every single phone is up and i was like yeah can i tell you something i i just had an experience with that yeah where i saw post malone like a week ago with

my girlfriend and i went in like a pretty good fan of post malone i left like a huge fan right i mean the guy just has like incredible charisma up on stage he's so comfortable yeah in his own skin or uncomfortable being uncomfortable whatever it is and then i saw sway lee before that who we had met and that guy has more stour power than anyone in history yeah because when we met him that one time i got him to do a video saying save the coral i before i even knew who he was i was like who is that yeah that guy that guy's a star yeah and our buddy andrew was like that's sway lee i was like that makes sense yeah but everybody was filming post malone with their phones and i was like fuck all those people dude

don't do that yeah but then it got to a certain song i forget which one it was and then i pulled out my phone yeah and it felt good to have my phone out yeah and sometimes a moment does you got to capture it if the moment i was gonna i, I wanted us to almost start a petition to be like, you can only use your cell phones to film really sick shit. So if it's not sick shit, keep your phones away. But if it's sick shit, pull the phone out. So before you take your phone out, take a moment to reflect on your intention. Why am I doing this?

Do I want clout or do I want to just capture sick shit? Yeah, because mine was, I didn't even post mine. It wasn't even for clout. Mine was, I just got to have a piece of this to remember. Right, yeah. And it was sick shit. Ask yourself every time, like, is what I'm about to film actually sick shit?

Yeah. Dude, I used to be so resistant to, you know, like when people talk about Drake and like all these artists who are, you know, top 40. And I was like, fuck all that anyone that likes any of that stuff it's all it's all bullshit but i'm starting to appreciate more the artistry and the talent of those people because it's incredible but i think i think there's something that goes along with stuff that's so in the mainstream you just have a natural rebellious version to it yeah

but there's something to post malone like he speaks to a part of me yeah and when he's like i'm flossing i'm flossing i'm flossing on you i'm like i am flossing on you dude and i got hyped dude when he sang that song congratulations that's what he ended with i i had to no one in particular i stuck dual middle fingers in the air and was just bouncing that's awesome yeah and i was I was like, fuck yes, man. Thank you for animating me with this spirit, Posty. I love that visual. Yeah.

It was nice. Yeah. I think it's something with people telling me what to like when I feel like that. You should like this. I'm like, nah. They do that too. I refuse. They jam it down your throat.

I love her, but they're doing it with Lizzo a little bit. You can't dislike Lizzo right now. Yeah. But why would you? Right. That's a healthier take i think yeah healthier stance um dude i'm in the process of moving right now yeah i i love it moving yeah you're crazy bro no i do i love it i do i was moving by i was moving boxes by myself uh saturday night like i had like 10 boxes uh big tv to move and um i went into it i was like this is gonna suck i hate it and i started doing it and i got into this flow state where i was just i was like i love carrying shit and getting shit done. You know what I mean?

Yeah, for sure. Like never discount the value of manual labor. That's awesome, dude. It was like, it was like midnight and I finished putting all my boxes down in my apartment. I sort of looked around. I'm like, I just want to keep going. And then the next day I missed it. It's weird for me because there's some manual labor I love.

Like that's like fun for me. And then there's some manual labor I'm just like no never yeah like cleaning my room never I hate it you know I think about it is about cleaning your room I think that it's like you can clean your room but it feels like there's no end in sight you're like this is gonna get dirty again so it's sort of like why am i doing this and my room could always and even when i clean my room i have so much shit it's never totally clean yeah so it never feels like the job's done yeah although i'm not really that hard on myself i just am too lazy to even do it but my girlfriend's been wanting me to clean my room yeah she's like you know what i find sexy a guy who is in charge of his life and takes care of stuff i'm like oh fuck that man i want to be sexy

and i do want to be sexy but if it comes at that cost, I don't know. Dude, you're wearing a charger's hat. I know, dude. I should charge it. Yeah. Just charge into my room like Natron means and just clean that shit up. Fuck yeah. Yeah.

When you, sometimes when you go to your room to clean it and there's certain parts of your room where like this, this part of my room, there's like no shot. This, this part of my room is completely fucked forever yeah the amount of paper i have yeah just piled up mail yeah no it's never gonna die i don't want to figure out what to throw out it sucks i hate it yeah that's why i had a our friend nicole amy schreiber she was helping me uh clean out my room. And that was helpful. It was helpful to have someone else be the executioner, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead.

I like Marie Kondo. I like stuff about cleaning. Yeah. Like as an idea. Yeah. When it's all cutesy and edited like that. Yeah. I think when I said a U-Haul truck and it was like...

Oh, you rented a U-Haul? I rented a U-Haul. and it was like... Oh, you rented a U-Haul? I rented a U-Haul. That's awesome. And I'll get into it later. I've got some beef that's grilling up and I've marinated it. I'm going to eat it at the end of this pot. I'm not going to lie. It smells good.

Yeah. It's major beef. Nice, dude. Dude, it's a freaking filet mignon. Grade A, baby. Yeah. Organically raised at a non-regenerative farm nice that's a carbon sink so it eats the carbon out of the atmosphere really i was listening to joe rogan this guy

talking about it fuck yeah it eats the carbon there's some organic uh cattle farms i think they're called regenerative where the process they use actually consumes carbon and so it puts it out in the atmosphere. Well, that's the trick. Let's double that down. Yeah. Good.

Yeah, it was good stuff. I listen to it while I move. That's why I'm fired up on it. Did you move solo? Yeah. Beast. I just enjoyed it. That's great.

Yeah. How's the new place? It's epic. Yeah? Yeah. You look really happy. Well, I just love being closer to the ocean. I have big windows, so you can see the ocean in the distance

and the big blue sky. It's very California. I gotta have a balcony and so yeah I mean Strider his wisdom is correct you know decor is dank yeah and it fires me up that's not I'm starting to like understand not that I ever thought it was you know lame or undank or whatever, but to become closer to it and have a more epic proximity to it, I'm now like, you know what, dude? I want to get a fucking centerpiece and stuff like that.

Whoa. You helped me get a coffee table yesterday, and I was fired up. So a centerpiece can be any piece that's in the center? I think so. I have to dive deeper into it and read, but that's my general consensus. For sure. Yeah. We're doing some redecorations of my place too.

It's looking good. Thank you, dude. We got a coffee table coming. Nice. We're about, we're probably going to make the switch from two fridges to one, even though I've been moaning like hell on this podcast about it. Yeah. You sad about it? on this podcast about it. Yeah. You sad about it?

Looks like the change is coming. I am a little sad, yeah. Because it's just like losing personality. You know what I mean? Like, I look at all those little quirks as like kind of fun dimensions to who we are. But, you know, you got to prune the tree. You got to keep replanting. I don't know.

But, yeah, I think it's probably the right time now. i see what you're saying though it's very unique to your guys apartment yeah no one else really has that yeah i don't know anybody else who has it yeah but it'll be it'll probably be nice it'll be more convenient like you'll be able to fit a whole pizza in their new fridge probably that's crazy yeah that's crazy dude i bought an xbox uh whoa yeah i uh i got nhl and gta uh i haven't really played yet i tried to play some nhl i've just been like busy setting shit up but um i i've uh i started to play nhl dude i'm so bad at it really i was worried when i was buying xbox i was like, maybe I'll get addicted to it. That kind of freaked me out because I don't want to not be as productive.

But then I started playing NHL and I'm like, dude, I'm so bad at new video games. I can crush N64, no problem. But new video games, they're so difficult for me that i can't foresee myself getting addicted yeah nhl games are hard have you tried changing the controller maybe i'll try that because you can change it to like like 64 presets yeah so it's super simplified yeah you don't have as much like control yeah but i mean who wants that yeah i uh yeah i just go around checking people dude that's the that's the thrill. Can you fight in that one too?

I think so. Nice. We'll see. But yeah, you're right. I mean, who doesn't want control? I just want simple buttons. Yeah, just shot, pass, check, skate forward and backwards. What else do we need?

That's it. Yeah, I don't need wrister, slap shot. Yeah. I don't need toister, slap shot. Yeah. You know. I don't need to control the puck. One time. Yeah. Yeah, they want you to do all that crazy nonsense.

That's like in the FIFA game. I play a very simplified version of it. Yeah. Like, you can use the other stick to help with your dribbling. Yeah. To add more creative flair to it. I don't even fuck with that. Yeah.

I worry more just about my pace alternating between turbo and non-turbo. So, for a lot of people listening listening I know you're fucking locked in like you've never heard anything like this before but I promise you if you try that style it's fun turbo not turbo just turbo no turbo that's my game

turbo no turbo and I beat a lot of guys who use both sticks I lose a lot too who's the best my brother or Joe and I beat a lot of guys who use both sticks. I lose a lot too. Who's the best? My brother or Joe. Yeah. Strider's probably the worst.

Even though he loves it the most. Really? Yeah, I probably like to play the league. I actually don't like FIFA that much. I broke this to the dudes on Football Sunday. They kept trying to play games while the game was going on. It was Cowboys Patriots. I just wanted to watch the game. And so after like three or four games, I was like, dudes, I don't really want to play.

And they're like, why not? And I was like, I don't really like FIFA that much. Like I like other video games a lot more than FIFA. It just so happens that our friend group, the favorite game is FIFA. Yeah. But I don't really like FIFA that much. I like it, but I'd rather play other games more. Yeah. But I don't really like FIFA that much. I like it, but I'd rather play other games more. Yeah. Yeah.

Even when you said that to me, I think if I were your brother, Joe, and I heard that, I mean, even you saying it, it hurt me a little bit. I know. Dude, I was like, why are you saying this? Why are you trying to ruin everyone's life? But then in my head, I'm like, so I'm not going to tell the truth? I'm not going to admit I don't like FIFA? Yeah.

I don't like FIFA. It took me five years to even realize that I don't like FIFA. This is monumental. Yeah. Cause I've been so deep in it where like, that's how we bond. Then I'm like, all right, I love FIFA. I love it. And then I finally was just thinking about it.

I was like, dude, I don't think I've ever liked FIFA that much. I liked it when it came out for the German Olympiclympic or for the german world cup the one where zedan fucking headbutted the guy from italy in the in the final that that iteration of it that came out i was super into but since then it's just been kind of like depreciating uh in terms of my love for it and now it's like there's other games i like more. But good luck. You know, I can't. It's like changing. It's like fighting against the ocean. Right.

Yeah. You can't stop that wave. I can't stop that wave. Well, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, dude. Fucking getting real on here. Dude, I mean, you laid out some truth. Yeah, that was tough.

That was digging deep. He was the dankest American soccer player ever. Landonovan i was gonna say david beckham yes that's hilarious should we dive into elon oh yeah we got some topics all right dude yeah so we read a super brief article summarization about elon musk and basically what the person and the person who wrote the article was basically saying that all of elon musk's inventions are super useful if there's complete state failure like if we go into apocalyptic state that's when his stuff will be worth even more yeah i mean i was listening to the joe rogan pod on the way here where elon was on and like i could say like elon are you preparing for the apocalypse yes yes yes yes we will not be able to hold a candle to AI. I tried to tell him. I tried.

Did you watch his truck presentation? Yeah, when they threw the fucking thing at it. I haven't seen it. The window broke. Is it funny? It is funny, yeah. I heard it's hilarious. I find it interesting with Elon given

what seems like his sort of outlook I think it's like sort of like who's the one guy Steve Jobs no Steve Young keep going along the list of Steves.

Steve Bureline? No. Steve Madden? Yes. No. What's his name? What world is he in? Wheelchair.

Oh, Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking. Dude, he was a Steve. So Stephen Hawking, he seemed to have a pretty bleak outlook for humanity in the future. According to what I heard. I only read brief headlines. But that's the gist I got. So thank you, headlines.

But it seems like he has these ideas and he wants to keep creating and he sort of wants to keep expanding. And he just wants to keep living life. But at the same time, he has such a doomsday scenario in his mind. That's me, dog. Yeah. Well, I think also if you predict that the world is going to go south, I mean, you're going to be right at some point.

Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. We know at some point a comet's going to hit us or we're going to overheat the earth or atomic bombs are going to go off here and there. Yeah. Throwing them back and forth.

So it's like, I think it's just a matter of like the timeline. Yeah. And I'm always hoping it's in the thousands of years away. So you think having that mindset of like doomsday is near, that encourages him to just want to do everything now and live in the present? Yeah, that's true. Like the fear, that's like the Steve Jobs commencement speech atford where it's like death is good because death is what gets you moving yeah i think it's basically how you could summarize that whole thing yeah um and yeah

i think there's truth to that yeah yeah yeah i can't really get a read on it because it seems like he just has all these ideas and he's like well the traffic sucks in la let's build a tunnel let's uh you know all that kind of stuff i stuff. I just don't always trust that he actually even intends on having this stuff, like, be available for consumers. It's almost like he just likes saying cool things and saying he's going to invent cool things. Yeah. What do you think, Aaron? Well, I don't think, if I don't think tunnels under the ground we're going to be

the solution for la's traffic but um what do you think the solution is there is no solution for la traffic well it'd be great if we had if the subway went more places good call yeah a better subway system would kind of be the solution for sure it's really lacking in the valley um yeah it just doesn't go everywhere it's great that it goes to the beach now but it's not quite there yet dude there's a yogi who said um you should live each day as if you have a katana dangling over your head could drop any second oh i like that there's damocles sword too which is like uh this king's like you don't want to live like me and then he's like this guy's like yeah i do and he's like all right here's what it's like he puts him in a in his throne and then he just puts a sword over his

head it's held by a very thin wire he's like that's what i'm dealing with every day the sword's always about to drop on me dude i'm watching the'm watching the Elon Musk throwing the things at his windows that aren't supposed to break. Is it hilarious? It's pretty hilarious because he covers pretty quickly. I mean, just like facially he does. Let's listen to the volume. So that's Elon throwing it? No.

Oh my f***ing god. Well, maybe that was a little too hard. That's a pretty good joke. I always find these moments very endearing. Like, I think this reveals a lot about your character or about, like, your personality. And I got to actually say, Elon's handling this fuck up pretty well. He's seeing the silver lining in it. Like, I would be so humiliated.

I'd be like god damn it all right shut it down show's over look we fucked up we rushed it to meet our time horizon and it's not ready to go and yeah we're we're humiliated but we're gonna bounce back but this presentation is over write what you're gonna write i can't control that Have a good night I'll be at Sharky's Yeah I'm like I'm gonna go get fucked up And it's only gonna be tonight I'm not gonna get fucked up

Every night for a while I don't do that anymore I'm just gonna get fucked up tonight And yeah I'll have a day of recovery And then I'm gonna get back at it And then we're gonna fix this truck I swear to God

And if we don't You know A lot of investors Are gonna be out of money. And I feel bad for those people because they really put their faith in me. Yeah. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to deliver because I think there's a pretty good shot I could actually make this thing work. Do you like Elon Musk?

I do. I think Teslas are dank. Dude, nice word. Yeah, Teslas are dank. Whenever I see someone driving one i'm like that's pretty cool have you seen the inside of one no i think i haven't been one in like five years but it's like a big screen in the middle like it's like a big vertical tv right basically and you could just it's like a spaceship that's fucking Yeah. That's got to be distracting though, right?

I think so. I was an intern somewhere and Kevin Pollack, the actor, was there and he's like, hey, someone needs to move my car. And he put down his keys and he was like, it's a Tesla. Trying to make a joke about it, but it didn't read as a joke. He's like, pour water on it. Grass will grow out of the key chain. I was like, whatever, knob.

Okay, boomer. Yeah, exactly. Dude, where'd okay boomer come from? Yeah, what is this okay boomer thing? I don't know. It's just one of those internet things, man. And it's just like calling him boomer because of uh uh baby boomer yeah yeah uh are we gonna do things for the truck oh yeah in my tesla truck i would keep uh ribeyes like a

fuck ton of ribeyes but i'd use like co or dry ice to keep them frozen just as long as i could eat them you know marinate or not uh i'd keep a hustler a brita a katana the great gatsby good book a beer bong a bunch of cliff bars a hammer a wheel because you know he made he started with the wheel yeah uh a lighter some dura flames to you know fast track the fire process a disneyland photo book to remember the good times marcus aurelius's meditations to stay stoic in dark times board shorts and a bunch of avocados whoa dude nice douglas lube well that'd just already be on my dong yeah but i do appreciate that yeah i think i would have to bring a nice tub um hopefully it won't get used on me what would i take i would have um the art of war by sun tzu

just to like show it to people so they think i read i would have um a ton of uh I would have a ton of graham crackers. I love graham crackers. Dude, good call. I would have Propecia to keep my hair. Krush, that's Krush. Because I want to look good in the apocalypse. Dude, that's fucking Krush. I would have a gun.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'd have a gun, and then I'd have my boo, you know? Oh, nice. Yeah. I'd have my GF beside me. I think having something to protect would fire me up. Yeah.

You know, make me work harder to stay alive. Right. Because if I was by myself, I think I'd give way to meaningless a little bit. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'd give way to meaningless a little bit. Yeah. I bet Aaron, I think you'd be a good teammate in the apocalypse.

I could see Aaron just rolling up with a battle axe and just be like, let's fucking go. I could see that too, dude. Sorry for cursing so much. I know people don't like that. It's like a softball bat with some nails sticking out of it.ad you uh you got your face scanned right yeah light stage uh yeah i got a full face scan which if you guys have uh stoked if you've seen the irishman that the sort of technology they use to show the young robert de niro it's this technology so basically i archived my current face in some warehouse somewhere so they

have like all this data on like the details down to my pore not down to my pores of my face so i can if i want to be in like movies 20 years from now and play my have my younger self in there they can use that data to sort of recreate like a really realistic version of my young face that's true to the past that's awesome and uh it's a insane process not insane it's pretty crazy process because you go in there it's like a globe of led lights just around it's like you know those like death globes that people ride motorcycles or dirt bikes in or they just go around it looks like one of those but just led lights and cameras all around and you go in and they have you do 48 different expressions i thought i was just gonna like sit there and they're just like scanning my face you

know but you actively have to like show emotion in your face to right so they can be like but it's it's not like they'll have things like angry and surprise and stuff, but then they'll be like, you know, jaw to the left, jaw to the right, scrunch up your nose. And what's difficult is that when it goes off, it's three seconds of flashes from all these cameras. So your eyes, like it kind of puts you in like a hypnotic state because they'll be like, all right, do a surprise face. And I'll be like, fully engaging my like fully, you know, uh, engaging

my whole face, like just mouth wide open, just like, ah, and like, I have to keep my eyes open as these flashes come in. So it's like, uh, you're just kind of like shocked for a second. Whoa. Um, and I was like, do these hurt my eyes? They're like annoy them. Yes. But it's not UV.

I was like, oh, right. Yeah. I should have done that. Um, so I got schooled a little bit, but, uh, it was, uh, but it's not UV. I was like, oh, right. Yeah, I should have done that. So I got schooled a little bit. But it was cool. I mean, they said from that data, they can put me in a video game too, which I've just been praying to the universe that they'll make a GTA San Clemente.

That would be amazing. Yeah. I mean, why would they do that? Yeah. Like the coolest town in OC. That's pretty badass. make a gta san clemente that would be amazing yeah i mean why would they do that yeah like the coolest town in oc that's pretty badass you go pedro's tacos and you you know dude hopefully the guy who stole my car is the main character yeah that'd be pretty no yeah dude if i was in gta san clemente i would go to pedro's tacos and still pay that's cool yeah i every time like my brother had the new red dead revolver or whatever it's called um and i would after like two minutes he'd be like all right so your mission here is you got to ride the horse for like 20 minutes to like this neighboring ghost town i was

like dude give me a gun and point me to some people i can shoot okay i'm not trying to like live real life all right i'm trying to be an empty sadist yeah why is this video game telling me what to do yeah i i don't know the complexity of the mission sometimes i think they they jumped the shark a bit after vice vice city dude vice city was the best that was the best way i had so much style you can't do better than miami for that type of game no it should be miami every time yeah they should just keep it in miami yeah well next one's in columbia what yeah are you serious you're like a drug lord apparently okay that's pretty badass don't quote me on that i'm not confirmed but i think that's what's going on

very good idea so uh you should consult your mom on the accuracy of the map yeah i'll be like mama does this feel like columbia and she goes yes john thomas i mean it was exciting like that but there were also times where we just went dancing and i don't see that in this video she gets mad dude she got so mad at like if i ever wanted to get her fired up i just asked her about clear and present danger the uh jack ryan harrison ford movie i'm like mom what do you you know a movie i like a lot i'm like clear and present danger the movie's bullshit they say colombian food's like mexican food they don't taste anything i like just had lazy dialogue like that in the movie yeah and my mom was just in the theater like fuck this this is bullshit stupid yeah oh man um that's hilarious doesn't uh doesn't this light this face scan thing also

mean you could be deep faked? I do worry about the implications of it a little bit. Yeah, I thought about that afterwards. And I didn't really plan ahead. But my agent told me to do it. And if your agent tells you to do something, you do it. What's the worst thing they're going to do? Put you in a commercial you don't want to be in or something like that i don't think there's anything like genuinely nefarious

preparation age yeah right dude they're gonna have you in a bunch of just like what's preparation age for like anal itch i think so like hemorrhoids hemorrhoids oh right age is for hemorrhoids my mom i used to have an itchy b-hole when i was a kid my mom would apply preparation h there really yeah oh that's nice it was really sweet she's a good lady um dude we read another article about uh dogs yeah and how they're just the best at loving other species not just humans they're the best at loving all other species yeah like they could basically make friends with anybody yeah they're just universally good at not being the schmole dude they're the best and also how it's sort of like you know people are suspicious about you know why like if a dog's being affectionate towards you does it have ulterior motives you know is it trying to get food which sometimes is the case but is it is it you know is it is it acting like it loves me but

really doesn't is it just that that the way it's my works and the answer guys is no okay it just straight up loves you it's straight up dank energy flowing through its heart into yours yeah don't be cynical about dogs it also made me think like dude just loving everything is a great way to go through life yeah because like look at where it's taken dogs yeah you know what i mean there's a million little iterations of them yeah they get to live lives of comfort with lots of friends yeah and they can still go out in the wild if they want to yeah it's kind of a good deal and they got to that point because they're easy to get along with and people want them around right yeah so be a dog yeah everyone's your ally everyone you know just spread that love everywhere yeah i uh yeah they're and they've

evolved that way too they like evolved to love more i think yeah that's so awesome i love dogs so much some stokers wrote into me too because i was talking about like if birds can have sex with other birds but actually no like all dogs are the same species which is pretty remarkable because there's such variation in them. But birds aren't the same species. They're different species. So like a falcon and an eagle can't procreate. They can't plow?

No, not the way like a dachshund and like a, you know, lab could. Although that's a tough one to picture. But yeah. I like how dogs hump even when there's nothing there you know when they it's like they're so in tune with their emotions and their what's going on inside they're so present that if they're horny they just start humping yep they don't plan it out they don't think about it they don't say hey i'm gonna go put porn hub on later and take care of myself they're like i'm gonna hump the air right now yeah and let you guys know that i'm horny as shit okay yeah when you see a dog just humping a pillow it's always a good

time yeah it's like okay yeah and i think it kind of makes us hornier oh for sure all right the dog's getting after what am i embarrassed about wanting to get after i want I want to get after it too. I'm a dog. When a dog's moving its hips like that, it fires me up. Super encouraging. I get so excited. I'm kind of tired today. Dude, I'm exhausted. I was sleeping on the way over here. Yeah. I was trying to meditate in the Uber and I just passed out. Yeah. I woke up and I was late. I haven't been eating as much because I don't have any food in the place. I've just been assembling. I've been in the flow state of moving in. Right.

But it's hard to... I haven't eaten. I had three flying Dutchman and a green juice. That's a nice state of eating, though. But you need more. Dude, I've been eating a whale. If whales eat carbs. I've been just munching on carbs. Yeah.

Yeah, I've had bread and hash brown. Oh, dude, hash browns. Yeah, they're so good. Wait, you had swingers? Yeah. I love swingers so much. It's so good. And then, yeah, I've just been munching on the carbs.

I feel good, but I am like starting to be like, I asked my GF yesterday, I was like, does my face look fatter than when you fell in love with me she's like no what are you talking about and then i was like oh just checking it's nice to have like holidays like a week out where you're like okay this is vacation time yeah it's i i feel less like uh pressure yeah to because when when when we were just doing all this stuff and it it was all just, like, self-motivated, you know what I mean? Like, there was no one else's expectations but our own. Yeah.

You really don't know when it's okay to stop. Yeah. You know? Because you're like, I could be doing more. Yeah. And, like, I probably should be. Yeah. And now that we are in a situation where we're working with other people and stuff, it's

like, when they're not working, I feel better not working. Right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, I was talking to one of our coworkers, and I was's like when they're not working, I feel better not working. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was talking to one of our coworkers and I was like, I was like,

yeah, I'm thinking of getting an Xbox, but like, I don't want to, I don't want it to, you know, hurt my productivity and all that stuff. And he's like,

but you have the whole day of work and then you have that, you've earned that time. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's a good point. And you could be recharging the batteries too. like you're like all right i'm tired i need because like even with how it takes me forever to edit the podcast it's like sometimes i'm just

tired yeah but i never think i'm tired i only ever think i'm a bitch yeah like no me too in my head i'm never like why don't i want to work right now is it because i'm tired i'm like nah it's because you're a bitch it's because you're afraid of hard work it's because deep down you just want everybody to cater you it's like well i might be tired you know what i mean yeah dude i think the same thing i'm like i'll have like work to do or no i won't even have work to do but i'll just be like i think you're falling off you're a piece of shit yeah you're uh you're gonna wind up i don't even i came it hurts me to even think of like the situation so i don't even know what i can say but you know i'm just like

but your dreams i'm like i'm gonna go into some unknown crevice of doom and then the mandalorian is gonna have to come and save me and i don't want to put that in someone else's hands. I want to save myself. I don't want to have the Disney Plus character do it. Yeah. That's what's up. That's awesome. Because it's scary, but it's still cool because the Mandalorian's involved. Yeah. Yeah, my domes, there's always a lot going on.

I'm just like thinking of like, like all of, like today I was driving to Ikea and usually i'm pretty stoked like i think it's safe to say i'm stoked 80 of the time yeah but i stress out a lot uh just because yeah there's like things you want in life that are just like you want i don't know it's like your mind basically i'm trying to say is your mind always it's just a natural function of the human mind to go towards something negative i think yeah to worry about something yeah like i was i was like driving ikea i was fired up i went surfing with the two dans this morning so i had that vitamin d fix and i was like amped i was like dancing in the car and then on

the way back you know i was still feeling the amp but like and i was like amped I was like dancing in the car and then on the way back you know I was still feeling the amp but like and I was like starting to like worry again about stuff I was like damn it's it's uh but I think it's just you know discipline of the mind and just sort of like you're saying love everything everyone's your ally and i think that i think if you can like train yourself to believe that whether it's true or not i think in the end it's the most beneficial thing for sure yeah dude i've been grappling with a lot of that stuff yeah like the two main things is like i can't be alone i hate being alone like, I'll just be around people all day, and in my head I'm like, I can't wait to go home and relax.

Do like 15 hours of stuff or whatever it is, go home, and then the moment I'm alone, I'm like, I can't handle where my thoughts go. I'm like, I'm sad. Why am I sad? Everything's good. I shouldn't be sad. Well, if I'm sad now and everything's good, you know what that means?

I'll always be sad. I'll be sad forever. Well, if you're going to be sad forever, wouldn't it be better just not to be sad at all? And then I get to like a suicidal thought. And then I'm like, why am I having suicidal thoughts? And it's like, my brain's just running. And then it goes to the most intense place possible. And then the next day, I wake up and i'm stoked i have like a great time yeah i really do just have like i love it yeah but then at night i'm like i if just if i'm alone i i need constant comfort from people yeah i i'm sort of the opposite but i i relate to the the feeling of like when everything's good,

uh, and then you still have those like stressful or, or sad thoughts creep in. And, um, I like, I read this book about, you know,

stress and anxiety. And it's like, that's just our natural, natural human function. It's like, that's your, it's your, um,

that's your reptilian brain just coming in just like i need to survive what are the problems i need to fix um but i think i think i mean it's easier said than done but you know recognizing those thoughts for what they are is uh the key which you know saying it like that sounds so much easier but it's i think it's a discipline because i'm susceptible susceptible to it too no you gotta detach yeah and realize like your thoughts aren't you yeah and they're gonna run but if you can take a step back and just be like oh isn't that interesting i'm thinking that way we're aren't crazy and then kind of right size it yeah it's like retreat back to like the awareness and then think of those thoughts as like a treadmill that's always just going.

And you're like, oh, look at the treadmill of thoughts going through my dome. This is, you know, it's, that's pretty hilarious. Yeah. Having that thought right now. That's awesome. Wow. It's like, oh, like my brain's like, oh, head kicks and MMA are cool. Yeah.

And then it's like, you know, it's not cool kicks and mma are cool yeah and then it's like you know what's not cool loneliness yeah right next to each other i'm like dude get out of here i just want to think about the head kicks for a little bit yeah yeah but if you could i'm watching this thing right now called mma in the age of loneliness that reggie got me watching and it like combines those two things into one story yeah yeah so i'm like that's like the best entertainment for me where i'm like oh fuck yeah head kick okay now a conversation about why that head kick is rooted in something sad i'm like nice nice that's oh it's peanut butter and jelly for my brain i'll be like have i optimized myself enough right what was my carb intake today i fucked up i'm a piece of shit

dude i think like that too yeah i want to watch Fast and the Furious again. That's how my mind works. Hell yeah. That's legit. All right, should we answer some questions? Yeah. Second week in a row this guy wrote in. Gray Lanuski.

My balls are big. Is that cool? Dude, hell yeah. It was cool then. It's cool now, dog. Any kind of ball is cool. Agreed. What up, dogs?

I'd like to stay anonymous as I've turned some of my bros to the pod. I'm a sophomore in high school, and I can say that this year has been monumental in my growing up. Over the last three months, I've downed my first beer bong and really gotten into the ladies. About a month ago, I drunkenly hooked up with a girl at a party for about ten minutes, the longest I'd ever kissed a girl for. I'd hung out with this girl in the same friend group for a while and ended up hanging out with her in a big group the next weekend but nothing transpired the next weekend we didn't hang out so i pretty much gave up in hope of something coming from my drunken hookup yet the next weekend two weeks after the first hookup we hang out again this time in a group of three or four people after innocently

talking for a while we had a couple of white, and she ended up resting her head on my shoulder, and the next thing I knew, we had hooked up for two and a half hours. I went home thinking of this as one of the best nights of my life. I've thought about it every day since. I guess you could say I've caught feelings. I'm hanging out with her and some friends around Thanksgiving again, but one of my buddies hooked up with her a couple times last year. No beef, he has a new GF,

and told me that this girl finds it weird or a turn off to text after a hookup. So I haven't talked to her at all since then via text or Snapchat, etc. The reason my friend stopped hooking up with her was because he wanted something more than simply hooking up. But she didn't express the same interest. Whenever I hang out with this girl, I love talking to her. The conversation is usually flowing with ease. Besides the fact that she's a solid 9 out of 10. I haven't stopped thinking about that night.

The way when we made eye contact, I was intimidated. A fiery feeling I'd never really felt before and many other components. I really like this girl, but at the same time, I don't want to ruin what we have right now, which is a hookup-only basis. What do I do? I've listened since day one, and it's awesome to see how much your brain has grown. Jabow. Dude, first off, I love him describing his feelings toward her.

What did he say? A fiery... A fiery feeling I never felt before. And when we make eye contact, I am intimidated. I like that vulnerability. Yeah, it was nice. This guy's a legend. That's tough because when I heard that the friend was like,

oh, she doesn't like text after hookups. I'm like, really? That seems like, I don't know. I mean, but she could just be figuring herself out. I mean, she's young. She might just be like, uh, that might be too much intimacy for her at this point. Yeah. So maybe what needs to do is just like, take it slow.

so maybe what needs to do is just like take it slow you know when you see her be your cool vulnerable charismatic self with fire um english skills and um yeah i mean i think i would just say go for what you want but maybe since she seems to be a little weary of full-on commitment at this moment, just take it slow. Relax. See where it goes. And when the time is right, I think you'll know when you want to move things a little bit further. Yeah, dude. I'd say don't let your overwhelming feelings interfere with, you know, just having fun and getting to know this person.

It's, I know every weekend can feel like you live and die by it. And you're like, oh, man, this is the weekend where like this needs to happen. I'd like to hit these benchmarks. But in the long run, that stuff matters little. And what's important is that,'s important is the connection and stuff. So I think just keep being around each other, and it'll matriculate the way it should. Yeah.

Yeah, and no need to rush anything. And also, don't rate girls out of 10. Yeah, I never liked that. Yeah. But yeah, dude, I think she likes you you like her that's cool dude i was so much like that as a in high school and college i would like have like a crush on her we'd make out or something and uh but i wouldn't really like i'd like i'd like have like all these like hopes for like expectations i was like i was

like tons of expectations i was like you know well like i'll see you at this party we'll run into each other and then you know we're gonna go to hawaii and um that's like how my mind worked and then but i was always too shy to like i would be awkward and i wouldn't like approach them or talk to them um and i would just be weird about it so i think my advice you know and and so i think i was i was running away from what i wanted uh because i was scared so what i say to this dude is you know um when you see her go up and talk to her don't't be afraid. You know, show her your true self. Yeah, that might be the move. I think, yeah, just telling her how you feel is always good. Yeah.

And it doesn't mean like, I'm thinking about you all the time. I'm crazy about you. It's just like, hey, I like you. Yeah. And I'd like for you to be my girlfriend. There's like a cool way to say it. Yeah. But yeah, I get it, dude.

I mean, man, when I was 16, I was losing my mind every week. And I just went, all right, well, Tiffany will be at the party. And she's been broken up with Riley for three weeks. And this is my chance. And I got to make sure that I don't come in too strong, but that we have some good laughs. And then maybe by hour three, I'll ask her to go on a walk. And then, yeah, hopefully we can make out for 10 minutes. Like, I love the keeping track of the time and everything, too. And it's, I get it.

You know, you want to get those reps in, too. But, yeah, I get it. You know, you want to get those reps in too. And, but yeah, I think, I think you're doing good. Yeah. Just enjoy the process. Because one day you'll be 50 and you'll be looking back on this. And you'll be like, remember when I made out with, what's her name? I don't know her name. Remember when I made out with, what's her name?

He doesn't have her name in here. I anticipated this happening for you. Remember when I made out with, what's her name? For four't have her name in here i anticipate this happening for you remember when i made out with what's her name for four hours at that in and out that's what you're going to look back on so enjoy the ride yep stay present stay present dog and when you get fries in and out get extra crispy nice dude what up dudes i hope you guys are vibing out on the west coast love your podcast and the perspective it gives me. Also, shout out to Ryan Holiday for his book, Stillness is the Key. Really

helped me through some personal issues of mine, so thanks for filling me in on such an insightful writer. Ah, I'm glad I could help, dude. Anyways, I'm hung up on my high school girlfriend. For context, I'm 23 and I've only seen her once or twice since high school. I lost my virginity to her and it's still the best relationship I've been in to date. I broke up with her my senior year,

which I only did because I was going off to college and definitely did not handle it the best way I should have. She was crushed, absolutely heartbroken, and it took her a long time to move past this. Obviously a 17-year-old kid is not the most mature or wise person to handle the emotions that go along with this, and I was a prime example of that. She's an absolute gem of a person,

works with veterans dealing with PTSD, and even helps out at addiction centers. Not that what you do exemplifies who you are as a person. It just gives an example of her priorities. She deserves the best no matter who she is with and should be genuinely appreciated for her kind soul and beautiful mind.

I'd obviously like to date her again, but I'm apprehensive about trying to get back into her life for her sake and maybe I'm nervous about going down this path again. If you guys could give some perspective on the subject that really helped clear some thoughts of mine, either way, I love you guys.

And I can't wait to see where you take the Stokers next. I miss. So he's trying to get her back. He's in love with this girl that he broke up with in high school. Now he's, he's 23. So it's been like five years um he's only seen her once or twice um he i think he's a little afraid of i don't know he doesn't say anything specifically i just think he's nervous about the whole thing and uh and i get it dude it's scary but if she doesn't have a boyfriend i think you just gotta reach out yeah and say hey like

i'd love to catch up and get coffee yeah and then yeah grab coffee and then just see how your guys's lives are going and really get to know where she's at rather than i mean i don't know how you're picking up this info but probably from like social media or something you know actually talk to her and figure out where you guys are at and yeah, yeah, I think it could go great. Yeah. I think she could really like reconnecting with you. And then I wish you guys the best. Yeah, for sure.

I mean, you're fucking going to get married, bro. Let's go. Yeah. But if you're going to get there, you got to say what up first. Yeah. Reconnect with her. Fire off that text. You know, do some Instagram stories of you in the gym getting after it smart work on your calves dude one of my really good friends broke up with a girl then they got back later they've been together ever since he was just in a different place wasn't

ready for the commitment but deep down she really liked him. And this girl might really like you. And I think what Chad said is true too. Come in jacked. Lift a lot, diet hard, limit your salt a couple days beforehand to take out any bloating and just look dynamite. Yeah, so you gotta come in physically,

emotionally, spiritually, and metaphysically. Yep. And, dude, you know when I most understand the Big Bang Theory? After squats. After I do a deadlift, I'm like, hydrogen, nitrogen, explosion. A lot of my best thoughts are when I'm lifting. Oh, dude, I don't know if I'll ever understand why me and that person didn't work out as a couple set of squats hey some things just

don't work out although i'm when i'm uh when i'm surfing after you know know, just being in the sun for like two hours. And I'm, you know, I've applied proper coral safe sunscreen, but I've gotten my dose of vitamin D. I'll sit in my car. I'll put on, you know, either Revolution or Slipknot, whichever mood I'm in. And I'll think, life's pretty awesome. Yeah. That's what Post Malone's been doing that for me lately yeah because his whole attitude's kind of like just like fuck it yeah i don't really even know if

that's his attitude but i feel that and so like when i'm thinking about my problems i'm like oh this person's been being an asshole and i'm gonna have to deal with them i just go like this i just fucking post malone it i'm like who gives a fuck fuck that shit fucking whatever dude i'll have to fucking deal with this person but then at the end of the day i'm gonna be like later and i'm gonna be on my shit later then i'll just later them at the end of the day and i'll just be like you know what i don't have to deal with this motherfucker i'm on my shit i'm on my shit dude and you can't fuck with me when i'm on my shit just hearing one post malone song that's where i go that's awesome yeah yeah when i listen to slipknot's pulse of the maggots i just think about how really happy i am what is it about pulse of the maggots

i think i think it's the fact that slipknot has a guy in their band that hits a keg with a bat. That's his instrument. I hear the song and the deep guitar riffs and bass lines and the fucking... Then I hear that keg, dude, and I'm like... Can you hear the keg? I think so. What's it sound like? It sounds like a keg being hit with a bat.

I love it. And then I'm like, you know what, dude? I can do anything I want in this life, because that dude told the world that he's going to hit a keg with a bat, and now he's on a pretty sick metal band. That scares the shit out of people. What does your dad do? My daddy's in a band.

What instrument does he play? The keg? Oh no, the keg. Is it a string instrument? No, it's a cylinder with beer. He smacks it with a bat. What brand? Oh, this kid's gonna need remedial schooling. Is it Easton? Yeah, it's

Easton. My dad's Easton bat. You can't do that, fuckface. Kid's a little prodigy, hands him a little bat. Is it Easton? Yeah, it's Easton. My dad's Easton Bat. You can't do that, fuckface. Kid's a little prodigy, handsome little bat. Kid's like, ding, ding. Oh, my boy! Look at that little junior keg swinger. Honey, get in the garage, bring a camera.

The discipline on the diet, babe! Dink, dink. Dink, dink. Alright, that was fun. What's up dudes my name is david i am from virginia beach i go to college

and listen to you guys podcasts every week i love the stoke and the positive vibe you guys promote i want to start being more vulnerable with my life because you boys inspire me to be real with myself so i'm reaching out to you guys hoping to get some dope advice so i'm a sophomore at school and i met this girl my freshman year and immediately thought she was a total babe and for sure the one. Throughout my freshman year, me and this chick became friends and we would see each other multiple times a week because of this dope ministry we were both involved in around the city. Because we spent so much time together, I discovered I truly like this girl. This past summer definitely made this clear to me because I spent my summer in a totally different state than her. But when I came back from home,

feelings of her were still there and I think even grew stronger. In the beginning of September, I was straight up and told her that I had feelings for her. This totally freaked me out because if she didn't respond in a good way, it could affect the ministry we both participated in. Luckily, she told me she liked me back. So naturally being super pumped, I told her that I wanted to spend more time with her to hang out apart from the ministry we do. She was down and it was awesome.

Within a couple of weeks, I asked her to be my GF and we did it for about a month, which was sick. About two weekends ago, though, she hit me up and was like, we need to talk. So we got together and she told me she was unsure if she had feelings for me or if she was not just letting herself have feelings for me because she was scared to be close to someone else. Keep in mind, I was her first boyfriend. I was super devastated and confused because I like her a lot, but I respect her decision and that was that. A week after she kicked me to the curb, we saw each other, and she was like, I miss hanging out and want us to work.

I was even more confused and told her to wait a day or so so we can talk. We ended up talking and decided that we want to be together, but that we should take things slow and figure things out. Recently, I've been for sure in my head and scared that history will repeat itself with her. She's really busy all the time, so the little chance we get get to hang out i don't want to be in full serious conversation about relationship i think i am naturally chill bro so it's awkward for me to discuss the more heavy topics of life with people in general my dudes i really like this girl a lot i can see myself being with her please help me out i think it's all good dude yeah that's all normal stuff

man people freak out in every relationship People freak out. In every relationship. I freak out every relationship. I'm like, what the fuck am I doing? Is this right? Like, am I crazy? Like, and I should be well past that stuff. I freak out every time. Most of my partners freak out a lot.

Like, the partners I've had have been like, oh my god, I'm scared. Everybody gets scared. It's scary. I concur with that, John Thomas. I concur. Yeah, I concur with that, John Thomas. I concur. Yeah, you know what I learned to do is to sort of take a step back.

Sort of like what we were talking about with thoughts. Let the treadmill run, you know. But I think the best thing you can do is not be too reactive to those thoughts and those worries you know like we were telling the other guy you know relax take it slow you don't have to get into serious relationship talks um right away just enjoy your time with her i think that's the most important thing because you're i think having a relationship you're not trying to like lock down it's not like you know you're not trying like who cares about the language about it all you know it's not like, you know, you're not trying to, like, who cares about the language about it all, you know? Right.

It's like, you know, like I know the feeling of like you want to just get that commitment from them and like be exclusive or whatever. And you want that from them, but that'll come in due time. You know, don't rush it out. Totally. I think, yeah, I think that's been consistent with a lot of the questions today, too. It's like people getting hung up on the language of stuff. And it's good to want to have a GF.

Yeah. But let's not forget that what really makes that nice is the connection that the two people have. Yeah. So just worry about connecting with this person. And if she has some ups or downs about how she feels about it, that's normal. And if you have some ups and downs, that's normal.

Just don't let that muddle having a good time with this person. Yeah. And just learning how to be comfortable talking about these things with another person. Yeah. And since she backed away that one time, well said, but since she backed away that one time, I would give her space to develop those feelings for you. Maybe let her come to you a little bit. You know, don't think this is your last chance and try and force it.

Just sort of, you know, be patient and let her come in when she wants to, you know, when she wants to go get a frozen yogurt or discuss Tolstoy. For sure. Also, dude, don't be so consumed with the idea of the one. Oh, wow.

There's several people that would be good for you. Dang, dude. So if this doesn't work out, there's more. You're young. Still coming. Lots of life to live. you dude and that's that age that's from from early college that's you feel all the shit yeah that shit calms down yeah just don't get too hammered and like start breaking stuff when

you're feeling that shit yeah because those guys you worry about them and i've been that guy before but like when they like you ever have friends when you're that age it's like hey dude did you hear you're like what you're like they're like laura broke up with daryl. And you're like, what? They broke up? Is Daryl okay? You know Daryl's not okay. Daryl's like at the pier till four in the morning. Everyone's like, you seen Daryl? So he's been at the pier, dude, just crying. Chad, who is your beef of the week?

u-haul truck and they're like it's not working and i'm like well i reserved a u-haul truck for here and he's like yeah it's not working dude and i'm like well what am i supposed to do he's like i don't know so i call u-haul i'm like i'm like hey i'm at the spot there's no truck and the guy's like oh i'm sorry um there should be a truck there i'm like well there is but it's broken he's like oh fuck all right uh go to this location so he sends me downtown i go downtown to like a bookstore near usc i go into the parking lot i see the u-haul truck i go in i'm like hey i'm supposed to grab that u-haul truck and she's like the tire is broken i'm like what she's like the tire's broken like the tire's broken she's like yeah

and i call u-haul i'm like hey they say the tire's broken there's one u-haul truck there they say the tire's broken and she's like i didn't say that and i was like why are you an asshole i'm just trying to pick up a truck. And so then I had to wait until, so I was supposed to get my U-Haul at like 11 a.m. I had to wait until 5 p.m. to get it from, I don't even know what part of L.A. Near Culver City. It was horse shit. And I just want to say U-Haul. And then I get to, then I pick up the U-Haul and they're like, hey, we have a, I'm like a i'm like oh i ordered a dolly as well and the guy's like we don't have dollies we got robbed

he literally said that i was like all right well fuck what should i do he's like i don't know and so i go out there and i get my u-haul truck but there's a utility dolly out there i'm like can i just take the utility dolly and the guy's like yeah and i'm like dude what is going on at u-haul i don't understand what you guys are doing over there but that was like the worst everyone there was pissed off no one wanted to give me a truck i just wanted to haul and you wanted me to haul but you didn't let it happen so you haul you're my beef of the Week. Nice, dude. Dude, my Beef of the Week isn't a beef, or my own beef,

it's Pete Townsend's beef with all the other members of the band The Who. He recently did an interview where he talked about them, and you'd think he'd go easy since they're dead, but he still ripped on the dead. Like, they were like, he was like, it was a nightmare being in a band with Keith Moon. You'd have to be at the recording studio for two extra hours because he'd have one too many brandies.

And you're like, dude, he's dead. And then he's like, plus, as the rhythm guitarist, I basically kept the band together. Keith could never keep time. He insults his drumming. I'm like, dude, Pete, you animal, dude. Then he ripped on the guitarist. And then he talked about how whenever him and Roger Daltrey, the lead singer, look at each other,

it's just pure hatred. And they're like the two surviving members. So I was like, maybe he'll go easy on the guy who's alive. It's like, no, no, he's got it for everybody. That's hilarious. Yeah. So I love that Pete Townsend, it would be awful to know him, but it's awesome that he just keeps it so 100%. Chad, who is your babe of the week? My babe of the week is Jerome Baker Jr. of the Dolphins. I stumbled upon this video of him.

The entire game, he was mic'd up, and they had audio of him looking for his mom the whole time. It was really sweet, and I'll had audio of him looking for his mom the whole time it's really sweet i'll play some of it i can't find my mama bro hey hey we big we don't break where is my mama yeah i'm looking for my mama bro i can't see it run yeah that's sweet i love that i love that he's looking for his mom so um yeah that was awesome so that's my babe nice dude dude i'm gonna switch p townsend to my to my babe. Because basically I was giving him love for being such a scabrous dick.

So I'm going to do a beef, another beef. And it's time. I want no more time. Let's get rid of it. Watches, throw them away. We're too regimented. I hate how I look at time now. I'm always like, all right, I've got an hour.

I have to do these things. And even if I go see friends, I'm like, all right, I'll see them for an hour and a half. Then I'll do 30 minutes of this, three hours editing, you know, work out for an hour, write for two hours and then do this. It's like, it's, it's also like constricting. do without time, it's going to be scary. People will be late a lot, but what will we gain? We'll gain real freedom to spend our time in quotes, how it should be spent, which is in the moment. In a moment, there is time. J. Alfred Prufrock, what up? I'm done with it. We got the sunrise. We got the sundown. We got the basic guards of time that we need for each day. There it is. That was epic. Aaron, what do you think?

I'm sorry. I kind of missed all that. Dude, it's all good. It's all good. I was going to I kind of missed all that. Dude, it's all good. It's all good. I was going to say, because we have time. Chad, who is your legend of the week? My legend of the week is Ian Cosenza. I think that's how you say it.

He rescued this dude, Lucas Chumbo. I think there are two Brazilian surfers. Lucas Chumbo Chianca from a 50-foot wave in Nazaré, Portugal. Whoa. So this guy, lucas takes a wave at nazare which nazare is where like they have the biggest waves yeah the biggest ones um and he uh so lucas takes a wave kicks out and there's a huge wave coming and he like he just kicked out of the way there's nothing you can do it's going to crash on top but this guy in casentos just comes zooming in on a jet ski and he's he's like cruising you know

just do do do do do and like the waves like you know it's it's it's feathering up top and it's about to crash and he picks up lucas and uh then they just cruise and but then there's one part where like the foam you know, you can't see them anymore because it's so high and they get covered in the foam. And so you can tell he's in there and he's just fast and furious seeing it. But you don't know for three seconds. You're like, do they make it?

Do they make it? And then he just comes blasting out. And it's a pretty cool video to watch. I saw it. You saw it? It was awesome. Yeah. It's like, how far would you go to save your friend it. You saw it? It was awesome. Yeah. It's like, how far would you go to save your friend?

And the foam was just pumping around there. Yeah. Yeah. You're just holding on to that. You'd be nude. Yeah. God willing. Which would probably make you faster.

Dude, the way he picked him up, you're like, oh, dude, not a good time. Yeah. And then, thank God he outran that wave. You could tell. It seemed like from the way he drove it out to him, he was just like, fuck it. And then just drove and picked him up. Dude, so cool. Yeah.

Love that. My legend of the week is Mick Jagger. Nice. From the Rolling Stones. Oh, y'all, Mick Jagger, y'all. Let's have some fun. You'll never be your best of burden just so much style so much attitude and been doing it for decades you got to give all the love in the world to the rolling stones

and you got to give it to them extra for one reason and that's that i found out mick jagger has a small dong no way and i'm saying that like i'm outing him in a negative way and i i might be doing that in a subtext way because i'm competitive but really what'm outing him in a negative way and I might be doing that in a subtext way because I'm competitive but really what I mean is I love it I love that he's got a small dong because he's also a great renowned lover

and he's Mick Jagger they say he's got a small dong and he's killing it it props that tiny hog way to go Mick you're beautiful And he's killing it. It props that tiny hog. Way to go, Mick. You're beautiful.

I bet he has a small dong, but he's so thin that it kind of looks big. True. But in reality, it is small. Dude, that's so true, dude. Because all the guys who I think have the biggest dongs out of my friends are short guys. And I'm like, all right, but is that just because they're short? So my tall dogs, I think their dongs out of my friends are short guys and i'm like all right but is that just because they're short so my tall dogs i think their dongs are small this is serious stuff because yeah if it's six nine guys got like a three inch penis like in relation to all that height you know yeah but if you're five eight and you got a three inch penis you're like oh yeah It's a 5'8". It's a big dick. Chad, what is your quote of the week? My quote of the week is from The Town.

The movie... One of the best movies ever. Directed by Ben Affleck about bank robbers in Boston with Jeremy Renner and Jon Hamm. So, Ben Affleck's playing Doug McRae. He's one of the bank robbers, and then he's going up to Jeremy Renner in this moment, and Ben Affleck wants to get revenge on this dude or whatever. So he goes, I need your help.

He goes up to Jeremy Renner. Jeremy Renner's eating a burger or something. He's like, I need your help. I can't tell you what it is. You can never ask me about it later, and we're going to Jeremy Renner. Jeremy Renner's eating a burger or something. He's like, I need your help. I can't tell you what it is. You can never ask me about it later, and we're going to hurt some people. Jeremy Renner, whose character is James Coughlin, goes, Whose car are we going to take? One of the best lines ever.

Whose car are we taking? He's so ready to go. Whose car are we taking? I forgot to do the accent. Whose car are we taking? He's so ready to go. Yeah. Whose car are we taking?

Whose car are we taking? So that's just, you know, loyalty at its finest. through the accent who's kawi taking he's so ready to go yeah who's kawi taking who's kawi taking so that's just you know loyalty at its finest and then they just they really just muffed up this dude so and seeing that scene it made me think that ben affleck wrote some of those scenes in goodwill hunting yeah you know like where they're gonna fight and he's like you're getting out of the fucking car to whatever case affleck's character's name is yeah yeah i forget like you're getting out of the car when they're gonna beat the guys up and then he does yeah it's all about and then there's that other line at the end was like those gorillas you talk about those friends you know why he's friends with them because

if he asked at the drop of a hat they take a bat to the back of your fucking head yeah like yeah they're good friends yeah i don't know why they have to prove it by killing a therapist but they would do it yeah when my dad got sick i had sick thoughts like that yeah i was like if my dad asked me to i'd kill i'd kill someone for my dad nice yeah he never has so if your dad asked you to go hurt some people you'd say who's god we taking all right dude mine my quote of the week is a long poem so buckle up it's by bertold bre, who's a famous theater guy, famous writer. I think he was one of the first guys to break the fourth wall or something. So kudos to you for that innovation, dude.

That is tough to think about when no one's done it before. So this poem is called The Interrogation of the Good. Step forward, we hear, that you are a good man. You cannot be bought, but the lightning which strikes the house also cannot be bought. You hold to what you said, but what did you say? You are honest. You say your opinion did you say? You are honest. You say your opinion, which opinion you are brave against whom you are wise for whom you do not consider personal advantages.

Whose advantages do you consider? Then you're a good friend. Are you also a good friend of the good people? Hear us. Then we know you are our enemy. This is why we shall now put you in front of a wall. But in consideration of your merits and good qualities, we shall put you in front of a good wall

and shoot you with a good bullet from a good gun and bury you with a good shovel in the good earth. Whoa, dude. So freaking intense. Blows my effing mind, dude. I read this in an Uber with Strider and Joe. And right when I got to the second part, Joe went, hey, they're opening a Dave's fried chicken right there. And then afterwards, Strider went, yeah, dude.

He didn't like it. He didn't like the phone? No, he's like, the second part was all right, too, but not necessary for you to read that out loud. Chad, what's your phrase of the week for getting after it? My phrase of the week for getting after it is... Let's throw out the instructions. Whoa. Whoa.
