What is up, Stokers of Stoke Nation? This is Chad Kroger coming in with the Going Deep with Chad JT podcast. It's good to be back on here. It's been a while. Was I on timeout? I don't know. Yeah. No.

We missed you. Yeah, thanks for having me back. It's always good to have you. Yeah, we love having you on. How have you been? Pretty good. I just got my hair cut today. A little hungover still from our Christmas party.

Yeah, how was the Christmas party? It was fun, yeah. You had a two-day hangover? Went too late into the night. No, I mean, I'm fine now. I just am moving a little slow, a little sluggish, just not eating great. What's your mentality at a company Christmas party? You usually just keep drinking.

Do you get worried about embarrassing yourself in front of coworkers? Yeah, I think you've got to be weary of that. But I don't do shots or anything. I just was having beer, but I had a lot. Dude, I was in Newport one time. I think I mentioned it on the pod. This guy's like, he's like, all right, we're going to just some, he's a stoker. He's like, we're going to chug.

We're going to race to see who can chug fastest. And I was like, and he's like, and loser has to take a shot. And I'm like, I'm like, dude, I love to rage, but, you know, my, my goal, but my goal, it can't break open. Yeah, some people can't chug. And it's not really, it sucks that chugging is synonymous with being a great party bro. Yeah. Because it's really not that important of a skill. Yeah.

Well, no, I don't want to say that. It's very important. Yeah. Because it can get people hyped up. But you can still be a great party bro without knowing how to chug yeah as long as you still have the same amount of you know i'm not a good chugger yeah as long as you have the same amount of froth going into the party and if you're you know still putting down you know booze yeah some people would just open their throat like they're like a snake or something. It just pours down.

Yeah, I can't do that. Yeah, I don't know how to do that. I swallow each bit. I go, donk, donk, donk. You got to have the kind of throat where you don't have to do that. Yeah. Dude, we have a friend calling in. Yeah, we have our buddy Tad Rams.

He's kind of our go-to guy for festy season. Yeah. The dude, you know Tad? Tad, yeah, he's the man. Yeah, he really... He's a fun guy. If you're going to go to Coachella, if you're going to go to Bonnaroo,

if you're going to go to Lollapalooza, you want Tad in your corner just to make sure that he's keeping the vibes high and the froth high and the romance flowing because he specializes in all that. Nice, dude. Yeah. Roth High and, you know, the, you know, romance flowing. Because he specializes in all that. Nice, dude. Yeah.

Will it be a welcome addition to the pod? Is he on the line now? I'm about to call him. Oh. Hello? Tad. Tad, what up, dude? Yo, what up, Tad? What's up, dude?

What up, dude? Welcome to Going Deep with Chad and JT. We're stoked to have you on yeah thanks for having me uh on here i'm i'm uh it's really honored to be here have you done any other podcasts no i haven't and actually public speaking and like talking um in this kind of way is not really my strong suit but you know i'm happy to to jump on and just try to get out the word for a strong cause you know right so you felt behooved to come on and in service of a bigger thing. That's right.

Yeah. I really appreciate the platform and just you guys trying to increase stoke and basically the same thing as what I'm doing. Thanks dude. Yeah. We were just, uh, singing your good graces.

You're sort of our go-to guy for festy season, sort of the guy you want in your squad. If you're going to hit up any festival like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo. Yeah. Lightning in a Bottle, Burning Man, just whatever. Bonnaroo for sure. Yeah, thanks, dude. Yeah, so you mentioned that you want to spread the word on what you do. Can you explain what it is? Yeah, I can go into it. Basically, I had a transformative life experience back in 2013. And all this information is available online in a YouTube video I made.

But basically, I discovered something called Molly. And I was put into my water, and I drank it and ended up feeling complete bliss. And realized that a lot of the world hasn't felt that before. And so as soon as I got home, I just saw it as my kind of like call to action to make sure that the rest of the world knows about Molly and therefore can reach bliss as well. Yeah. And all this video is on Stoker's checking my official Molly bro on Instagram and on YouTube. That's right. And,

uh, yeah, so maybe go into a little bit of your mindset before and like how, and then once you, the Molly hit, how it kind of changed your life. Yeah. So basically before that,

um, my life was kind of in a rut. I had been, um, I'd broken up with my girl and, uh, my workout routine had kind of plateaued. I've been working hard on my tries and just really coming over the hump.

I was kind of leveled out at 35 pounds. For sure. On the press down or on skull crushers? Dumbbells. The one in the gym where you pull it down from the top. Pull downs. A lot. Pull downs, yeah.

Not that well-versed. I was just kind of watching the strongest guy in there kind of do what he was doing. Nice. But so, yeah, dude, I was just not in a good spot and um then my whole uh jacob whole squad kind of rolled up and they were going to coachella and first i was like no i'm gonna bail you know just didn't have it in me and they were like in the car you fucking pussy and you know because i'm not a fucking pussy i got in the car so we ended up. And, you know, as long as I'm not a fucking pussy, I got in the car. So we ended up going there. And, yeah, it's just like my problems that I had at home actually ended up following me there.

So I was still tripping on my workouts, still tripping on my girl, you know, breaking up with me. Kind of wondering if she was, like, around, you know, Coachella with some other dude or something. And I was really just questioning life and not really in love with myself that's tough yeah it's not a good place to be um because when you don't love yourself it's like um yeah it's horrible who can love you exactly yeah you gotta love yourself first so then what what happened then once you got to coach ellen you were in that kind of rough head space yeah so for the first day i was a fucking straight up schmall just like not even like front fun to hang around with almost like picked if i had my friend because he tried to call me like like sad tad and i was like fuck that i didn't want that nickname

to stick so we kind of got into it and then basically cut to Saturday night I was just not feeling it and then the Tupac hologram came out on stage um and just everyone was going ape shit and I'm sad to say I just wasn't um until Jacob handed me the bottle of water and then 45 minutes later um everything changed that's epic dude i remember that hologram it was so legit some i'm stoked you got to uh get to a place where you could truly enjoy it right yeah it's like that's one of my biggest regrets because it was really an opportunity to feel like you're seeing tupac live and i was just throwing it away because of my

fucked up attitude yeah yeah sure did uh and then after you went through the the doing the molly what was the rest of the night like after that dude it was fucking epic man i basically like hula hoops um i did crazy shit i've never done before dude like and don't even like you're gonna're going to sit there and think, like, what? Why'd you do that? But just, like, in the moment, on Molly, it just felt right. Like, I let a babe paint my finger now. Nice.

And just exchanged massages with my guy friends, which was weird for me, but ended up just kind of feeling good. And I ended up talking to a guy who opened a mechanic shop for, like, four or five hours. Just kind of got into it and just talked up talking to a guy who opened a mechanic shop for like four or five hours just kind of got into it and just talked about our lives from yeah four or five hours till the thing came up and um yeah it was pretty epic that's so legit and so um and now you're just trying to spread the good word of molly to the masses yeah when i because when i left i thought i was super depressed again I thought okay you know

can't always be with the squad um can't always be at Coachella uh but what if I could always be on Molly and that's when I realized I needed to do something about the state of mind I was in and I got home made a couple calls and proud to say I've been on Molly every day since every day uh more or less yeah Are you on Molly right now? Yeah. How does it feel? I'm rolling balls right now. I feel great.

And then how do you deal with the comedown? Well, comedowns are sort of like a misnomer because if you just kind of keep doing Molly, you don't really have to come down oh for sure hell yeah uh so the holiday season is upon us so we thought we'd uh you know hit you up to sort of tell the stokers uh the best way to spend the holiday season um what's sort of your favorite way to engage in the festivities oh you know do molly for sure does your family does your family know you're on molly um they're sort of aware um my dad is

actually uh currently he's actually the biggest sponsor um of my life and pursuit right now uh it's kind of paying for my apartment stuff which which actually reminds me, if you don't mind, if I could give a just quick plug for my dad. For sure. Yeah, so my dad owns, listen, if you're looking for a condo in Redondo Beach, look no further than Chad Ram's Real Estate. My dad can help you find the greatest deal and put you in a condo tomorrow. So just remember, Rams fans, when you're looking for a house, whose house is it? Your house. Yeah, thanks for that.

That's nice. What do you give your family members for Christmas? Usually either kind of nothing, or I'll give them Molly, or I'll make my dad like a... I've been making DJ also, so I've been making Christmas tracks for everybody. Hell yeah.

Like songs, um, that I play for them. And then, yeah. Yeah. Cause you're an aspiring DJ now, right?

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. So, um, have, uh, I haven't checked in the last couple of weeks,

but yeah, I'm up to about like 60 something followers on SoundCloud, which is crazy. Never thought I'd be in that position. Yeah. So I've just been kind of like do my thing, but yeah i'm up to about like 60 something followers on soundcloud which is crazy never thought i'd be in that position yeah so i've just been kind of like doing my thing trying not to keep too much notice of like you know what's going on online but yes kind of taking off and doing some big things in fact i have a show at the chinese palace upstairs on hillhurst in a couple weeks um i need to get 20 people out to be able to perform.

If any of your listeners want to come out. Stokers, hit it up. Chinese Palace on Hillhurst. 21st, you said? I forget the day, but it's in a couple weeks. Go to the Chinese Palace's website. It'll be on there. Sick. Have you gotten much feedback

on how you've inspired people? Yeah, the feedback's been amazing um i have like 11 to 12 people that i know have affected because they call me once a week to get hooked up with molly and the video is out there it's doing its thing and you know there's no way to know for sure what your impact is but you just kind of have to hope um like you know what i just tell people is like look you know the world's kind of have to hope um like you know what i just tell people is like look you know the world's kind of crazy right now um but we could achieve world peace for four to five hours if everyone did molly and that fact just blows my mind and keeps me going and i tell

everybody like no matter how depressed you are at any given moment, just remember that true bliss is only 45 minutes away. Is there enough Molly to have everyone in the world do it at the same time? That's a good question. I don't know. I have a friend who's a scientist, so I was going to probably hit him up and just like get some numbers on that. But as of right now, we're not really approaching that kind of level of, you know awareness about molly but you know through a podcast like yours and just a word to word and you know just kicking it at festivals i've been kind of getting the word out there and you know hopefully we test the limits you know you never know and when when you say you give it to your to people um do they pay you or

is there any yeah yeah i mean i'd prefer it if they don't. Like, ideally, I would just be giving Molly to everybody. But unfortunately, like, I don't get that much money from my dad every month. So I'm kind of limited in how flexible I can be. But my goal is to raise money. You can actually donate to this cause um on venmo at molly bro and all every dollar that you donate goes directly to molly and the more i can buy the more i can buy like a bulk and i get cheaper prices and then i can hook people up even more nice hell yeah hopefully it hopefully stopped

living off my dad's teat so to speak so maybe we're getting to festivals a little bit what what's what would you say is the most impactful relationship you've made at a festival actually i almost want to say with myself if that's an answer like kind of like um it's hard to explain but like thinking of myself as like a person that deserves to be taken care of and be happy, and then trying to live a better life as a result. I don't know. Does that sound kind of lame? I'm not sure.

No, I think it sounds profound. Yeah. I love self-love. Self-love is the key. Self-love. I'm going to write that down. That's kind of what I mean, yeah. Self-love.

Do you do any other drugs? Just like booze, mushroom chocolates like if someone's got poppers i'll fuck around did a couple whippets for christmas um no not really like maybe acid if someone's got it but not really trying to trip that hard on like like to think that much so usually i just stick to molly i love that love that um i got i have one question you mentioned that when you were at the festival where you first did molly you were worried you might see your girlfriend there with another guy uh yeah did that end up happening or uh yeah well it's kind of like and were you on when it when i yeah i was on well that's that that's the saving grace is that yeah i ran into her um she was with this guy like we were what

do you call it like um there's like an orgy happening in this kind of tense face and like i wasn't really trying to um like have sex with anyone but i was kind of tense face. And like, I wasn't really trying to, um, like have sex with anyone, but I was kind of getting massaged and like just kind of feeling around and whatnot and, um, looked over and there she was. Right. So basically I was living in my worst nightmare, um, in the flesh. And, but luckily in that moment I was on Molly. And so therefore I was sort of able to see it not as something devastating, but as like

um just kind of like weird and she was with a guy that um normally would make me so jealous that i'd flip out and break shit and like trip out for a couple weeks but in that moment i kind of was like we're just all people on planet earth and like if they're in love that's great although i'm not really sure if they were actually in love or just kind of met and wanted to fuck but why was he the kind of guy you'd be jealous of he's just really tall and like um 10 and like he um i don't have much of like a chin really he's kind of like a nice jaw he had a huge dong um which was like good for him but definitely kind of had me on guard how do you how do you handle a big dong when you're on molly in the orgy tent uh well i don't touch her what do you mean

do i oh like just like how do you psychologically not let it impact what you're doing yeah gotcha gotcha um yeah i kind of look at big dongs like a metaphor for life like there's always going to be bigger dongs out there but you just kind of got to keep your head down and handle your business and um and then if the girl you're with kind of looks up and starts noticing it um then just kind of like try to pivot your body away in a different direction and distract her or something for sure who were you in the orgy tent with sorry i know that's really blunt question but i'm i'm curious no it's all good dude um i was with a couple homies like my friend ken went in there and then the twins went in there and um eric was in there i'll see

we're trying to meet girls in there which is like not really the best place to meet girls you're supposed to actually go in with the girl but um i ended up meeting this girl in there that yeah we didn't fool around her i don't really know much about her um and we ended up just kind of talking oh i'm a big talker on molly yeah in fact we were kind of talking too much they ended up making a sleeve all right do you have a girlfriend now? I have a girl that, yeah, it's a little premature. I almost hate to use that term so soon because we just met like two nights ago, but we did spend 14 hours dancing, and so I feel like we kind of got to know each other really well.

So I'm holding out hope that this might be my wife. I don't know. I love that. Yeah. Hell yeah. So festive season is, I mean, winter is coming and we're gonna have some downtime. How do you deal with the sort of in-between time between the end of festive season and the beginning? Yeah, it's, I'm not gonna lie. It's really tough. But luckily festive season, when it ends, it rolls right into festival season. you get like um you know like or festive season

like christmas you know and um so i kind of like just roll christmas is amazing because the whole world is acting with the joy and cheer that one would feel on molly and so for this one beautiful month it's like the whole world's like kind of on your tip you know for sure and so i really enjoy that um and try to get into like i love christmas like uh i love mistletoe you know um called fizzletoe you know and um and actually that reminds me that if you if skrillex is listening or any other major dj um christmas music is great but it doesn't have any bass yeah and so you know be kind of cool if we could get some remixes going and just kind of address that because i think that would bring

a lot more people into the christmas spirit yeah maybe get like bass nectar to do a remix of that mariah carey song oh that would be amazing yeah yeah i think that would really do a lot of good um and of course then you know december christmas is amazing the new year's is off the fucking hook and then okay january and that can be a pretty depressing month there's not really like no one's celebrating like like any major holidays and it's cold and it gets dark um soon so that's why it's really important to me around the holidays to get the word out about molly to make sure that people have something waiting for them when they hit that point do you have a new year's resolution um i try not to live in the future or the past so i haven't

given it too much thought but um yeah i definitely like to kind of have like i think a new year's resolution for me would be like definitely get yoked kind of keep working on that um i'd like to make three more tracks next year for my soundcloud account and it would be nice to be able to live in an apartment that isn't attached to my dad's house and not have to deal with his like kind of bullshit and like him kind of get on my shit because my car's not clean and just to kind of have my own things what's his bullshit sound and also to achieve world peace sorry what'd you say oh the world peace hell yeah what's your dad's bullshit like he's always like dude your car is a shithole and i'm like dude if my life

was as boring as yours my car would be hella clean too but i'm busy like going from thing to thing yeah and he's also like he doesn't um like he kind of judges me i think but that might just be me projecting i'm not sure yeah and um yeah that's about it for sure yeah that's well tad dude. Joe, anything you want to ask? Yeah, well, I just would disagree that January is a good month. My birthday's in January, so. Oh, what day in January? 26th. Okay, so.

And also there's NFL playoffs going on. It's a big month. And also Jt's birthday brother i agree with everything he said yeah well that's cool too and like look january maybe the takeaway is like it's kind of every man's own battle like it kind of based on the birthdays you have in your squad like actually a good point is maybe i don't have enough friends with january birthdays or maybe like if you guys are doing something, I should kind of come through and kick it. Yeah, you'll kick it this year for the birthday celebration.

And football, I could get down for it too, for sure. Yeah, maybe it's just a personal thing for me that's pretty dark, but I don't think so. If it were up to me, the same way we put fluoride in the tap water, we'd be doing the same with Molly, just to get it out there and let the people have access to happiness but it's not the way it works in fact it's actually uh little known fact it's highly illegal at the moment which is something we're kind of working on um but at the moment yeah it's like kind of actually dangerous to like try to get it or sell it and let's say the last thing is i know a lot of people out there don't have the opportunity to be with their families on Christmas because they already have plans to go to like a rave or warehouse party or something. And so for all those people out there, just, you know, hit me up if you want.

And if I don't have Molly on me, like I can definitely refer you to someone or just kind of help talk you through that experience. Nice. Hell yeah. Aaron, anything you want to say? No, I just have a good time. How many people are over there good time bro it's uh jt me joe and aaron nice yeah what's up um what up well tad thanks so much for calling in man and stokers check him out official molly bro on instagram and is it is your youtube tad rams or is it molly bro i think it's tad rounds if you google molly bro yeah the informational video should come up um and yeah that should help you get all the information you need at least to start with

and then go from there cool all right man uh be safe out there we'll talk to you soon all right thanks for having me on yeah thanks for having me on to talk about the cause i appreciate it of course man we'll talk to you soon. All right. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, thanks for having me on. Talk about the cause. I appreciate it. Of course, man. We'll talk to you soon. Good luck with everything. All right.

Later, guys. Have a good one. Sounds like he's in a really good place. He's a great guy. I worry about him a little bit. Yeah. If I'm being honest. Well, yeah.

I don't want to judge him because he says he's so happy, but I don't know. It's tough. Yeah, I'm not a drug guy. But you played along nicely. Yeah, I'm... The rammer. I mean, I did just move, but he did... He did sort of entice me with that condo offer.

Oh, that was nice. Yeah, and that was nice of him, even though his dad and him were beefing. He still pushed his dad's company hard. I mean him even though his dad and him were beefing like he still you know pushed his dad's company hard I mean I know his dad pays for his apartment so he's a little incentivized

but it was still a really nice sentiment yeah Redondo Beach is a nice area it's great dude yeah Redondo Union

good volleyball team yeah well Molly bro thanks for calling in thanks dude Tad alright moving forward. Yeah, what else, Legends?

You been doing laundry? Yeah, a lot. Yeah, because we had a broken dryer, and so I got backed up. Ruined some of my sheets. Yeah. I washed them one night, and then the dryer was broken. I had no way of getting them dry. Yeah.

And a big mold got on them. Yeah, I... They're still on the dryer. They're molding way of getting them dry yeah molds got on them yeah i uh they're still on the dryer they're molding them out are they still in the dryer they're on top of the dryer no one's touched them i gotta toss them yeah but oh they're just still on there i think they're just sitting there do you have new sheets now yeah well i already had some backups and i just those ones were clean yeah yeah mom sent me, so I got a new bed. My mom sent me sheets and I moved around like Thanksgiving and I was like, Hey, where are these sheets coming in? And somehow it got to, Oh, they're coming out on December 23rd. So I've been kind of cruising sheetless.

Really? No. What are you, what are you sleeping on? You have no sheets? Just a comforter? I got a backup here, but my comforter is duvet-less. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't do the duvet. You're not a duvet guy? No. I slept on a trash bag for like a month. I like that. Yeah. My sheets were all dirty for various reasons, and I just put a trash bag on the bed and slept on that.

That's resourceful. Yeah. Yeah, good job. Well, because if you don't, you'll get a rash. Yeah. Well, you know what? I feel like... Bed bugs.

I feel like I could sleep on a lot of things. Yeah. You know what I mean? People are like... People will get so picky. They'll be like, you need the proper sheets. You need the proper pillows. I'm like, more like I just need a flat surface and a pillow yeah yeah and something to keep me warm i fall asleep on the

couch every night yeah yeah that's my preferred place to sleep i like sleeping in a living room do you yeah yeah but what about when you wake up doesn't don't you feel like it sort of interrupts your flow yeah your rem flow yeah that's true're going to wake up every time at 3 in the morning and be like, where am I? Get up and move. Yeah. Messing with the REM. Yeah, you can't mess with the REM.

Joe, how many hours do you average a night? I mean, I try to get 7 or 8. Yeah, because if I don't, then I'm angry. Are you going to see Richard Jewell? Yeah, I'd go see that. I only bring it up because you mentioned when we saw a trailer for it, and you said, I think that might be the first movie I've seen in theaters since The Revenant.

No, I think I've seen something after that. Maybe not, but, yeah, I don't think after that. Maybe not, but... Yeah, I don't think I have. You're not a theater guy. Yeah, I'm not really. Why Richard Jewell? I don't know. I'm intrigued by that story.

I didn't know what the story was of that bombing at the Olympics in 96. I mean, I knew that it happened, but I didn't know the details of it. I never followed what happened exactly so it seems interesting what was i saying i don't think anything good stuff about you dog me i'm uh i'm almost done moving out of my old apartment oh you're still doing that well i i moved into the new one, and I still had old furniture there and stuff. So I took that out, and now I just need to go back and sweep. But you think you get the job done, and it just kind of lingers.

Yeah. There's always another part. Yeah. It takes a long time. Yeah. But I'm pumped to stay in this new place, Culver City, for five years. Oh, that's a nice plan. Maybe less, but...

But you want it to feel like five years. Yeah. I'm in it for the long haul. I'm not looking for a year-long thing with this new one. I think it's... I like the location. the location a little far yeah he burns you on the way over he goes chad's coming from culver wendy leave 11 yeah how long did it take to get here i'm curious uh well i did come from west hollywood this time

because uh i was at the old place but usually it usually takes me like 40, 45 minutes. No, it doesn't. It does. What a load of shit. 40 minutes? That's what it takes us. No, it takes you at least an hour. Well, dude, I take the...

He's got better freeway access. Yeah, I'll take the 10 to the 110 to the 5. That's like a giant circle around town. You're going downtown and then up and around? What a disaster. You can't believe you live there. It's going to ruin everything.

No, it's not. You have to go through Hollywood and Highland. That's the biggest disaster. If we don't do the podcast at 5 o'clock on a Thursday, then it takes two hours. But now it took us, it would have taken 35 minutes if we stopped at Whole Foods. What'd you get?

I got sushi. Yeah. Joe, and when I first told you I was moving to Culver, you came in hot with a deep criticism. Do you remember what that was? Yeah, it's like where all the women live. Or something. What'd I say?

That's what he said. Is that just because our girlfriends both live there? Well, I just know anyone who I know that says they live in Culver City is a woman. I've never heard a guy be like, oh, I live in Culver City. It's always women. I feel like it happens. I don't think it does. No, there's a new dude in town. You might not even be

welcome there. They might be like, oh, who's this guy? This is supposed to be our territory. Women aren't going to be mad at you. I haven't felt that yet, but now that you put in my dumb, I'll be more sensitive to it. Yeah, I mean, if you start getting dirty looks, don't be surprised. Maybe guys don't live there, but come in i've been at like tender greens there

and seen other dudes yeah they're coming in from west hollywood in the neighboring towns pico robertson they don't actually reside in the culver city like if if you have to send a mail you're not writing culver city on there what about s about Sally's moving to Marina Del Rey? Yeah, that's insane. I think we'll be all right. Yeah, I mean, enjoy Lincoln Boulevard. That's all I have to say about that. Why do you think all the women live in Culver?

Because that's where they live. That's all any woman I in Culver. Because that's where they live. That's all... Any woman I've talked to... Like I said, anybody that says they live in Culver City, it's always a woman. I've never heard guys say that they live there. So I wouldn't go around telling people about it. That's all I'm saying.

Alright, I should have thought about that before I signed the lease yeah have you seen other guys in your building or anything no see now that you mention it i thought i saw dudes and that's probably why it's so nice that's what i thought yeah that's like yeah there's no guys in my pilates class that's part of the reason i like it well that's different they have a thing called lagree too have you heard about that what's that it's like a thing called Lagree, too. Have you heard about that? What's that? It's like a, it's Pilates, but there's like, I think like weights added to it. Oh, interesting.

To get a little more sculpting? Yeah. I'm into that. I'd have to leave my school, though. I kind of, I got some customer loyalty there. Yeah, have you made like some acquaintances? No, I see some familiar faces, but I don't talk to anybody. I just say thank you to the instructor on my way out.

You're just focused on the Pilate. And then I get on a scooter and I ride home. That's awesome. Yeah, so they get to see me rip out of there. That's the future right there. Yeah. I get on a scooter and I ride home. Do you think back in the day our parents would ever think that their children would be saying something like that?

No. There's no way my dad could have pictured that. My son's going to be going to Pilates and then scootering home. He might have seen the Pilates coming, but not the scooter. Yeah. That's epic. You're not that smart, Dad. Joe, what's your take on scooters these days?

Well, I've never ridden one. Are you interested? I've had to get one out of my way a few times, so I've touched them because they're in my way. But that's the only... Like, there was one, I was working at the comedy store in the parking lot, and there's been scooters back there a couple times, and then I have to drag them out, and then they start beeping.

Yeah. Because I think West Hollywood, you can't even have them there. Yeah, there's areas where they're not allowed. So it locks up and I have to pick it up and throw it on the sidewalk. Are you tender with them? No, I manhandle them.

What do you think when you see a person riding by on a scooter? I just think that's dangerous. I wouldn't do that. That's fair. And we have some friends who got injured riding scooters. Yeah. And some of them don't tell the truth.

They're, like, ashamed. And you have to ride them on the street where there's a million cars at all times. It just sounds crazy to me. When you toss them... I mean, if you could ride them on the sidewalk, then I'd be like, okay, it's like... But when people do ride them on the sidewalk, it's'd be like, okay, it's like... But...

When people do ride them on the sidewalk, it's danger. Like, I've almost got ran over. Yeah. They do come in hot. Yeah. When you toss them, do you give, like, a grunt where you're like... Ah! Yeah, probably.

No, I don't really throw them down. I don't want to break them, but... I do, like, have to grab them hard if they're... Because if they don't roll, the wheel locks but I do have to grab them hard. Because if they don't roll, the wheel locks, so you have to really pick it up. Here's what I think we should do. I think next time we go to city council and give a speech about scooters, which I'm sure will happen because they're under constant threat,

you should come in and speak for the other side. Because I don't think there's a face for the other side yet, and your reasons are practical. Yeah, I'll be that face. It's dangerous why do you think they're outlawing them you're a letter of the law guy have you ever uh when's the last time you broke a law yeah i mean i've broken laws. Yeah, I mean, I've, you know, gotten a DUI years ago, so that's breaking the law. That's not a good thing to do.

But yeah, I think that's it, really. Do you want to answer some questions? Yeah, I'd love to. All right, here we go. Okay, dudes, I got a dilemma. I need to know ethically what the obligations are and what is at stake. I was using the Pitzer at the local gym. I heard an electric trimmer turn on in one of the shower stalls.

I heard the guy groan a couple of times, so I was like, this chap is manscaping and making a good life decision. But then it hit me. I felt a wave of emotions for the poor bloke who had to clean the bathroom and this chap's ball lettuce. I know Nikki glazer has a bit about this where she talks about keeping her gym membership just so she can shave in the gym bathroom and not have to clean it up i'm no saint and i get it it's not fun to clean up testicle floss so i get the efficiency but we need to look out for our fellow brothers and sisters who have to clean up after us i'm

thinking of the hippocratic oath here first do no harm was this man being ethical and doing harm by making someone else clean up after him i'm not trying to pass judgment i'm just trying to find the best stance on the issue and how to broach this topic ethically p.s bequeath oh hell yeah fire a word um so the guy was he was manscaping at the gym yeah this guy doesn't think it's okay to manscape at the gym because someone has to clean up your shoes. Yeah, if you're going to do it, clean it up. That's all I would say. If you're going to have the gall to do something like that in a public place, clean it up.

That's disgusting that people would leave their pubes. Here's what the gyms need to do, guys. They need to get funnels so your trims can funnel into, or maybe like a Dyson vacuum with a hose. So, or maybe like a suck cut. Maybe Manscaped should come out with a suck cut. So it sucks on your pubes and cuts them. So it's like a vacuum. It's suck cut is from Wayne's World. It sucks your pubes up into a freaking hose. So you're getting that lawnmower trim, but they're also getting sucked up into a vacuum bag somewhere.

And Mr. Dyson is going to take them and make beards out of them. Sorry, that last part was gross. For sure. I would just not shave your pubes at the gym, but if you do, afterwards clean them up and tell everybody, hey guys, just so you know,

I trimmed my pubes and I shaved them sup you legends of stoke i got a question for the pod and it's pretty important but i have confidence you bros will continue to not disappoint so i've recently come to the decision that it's not healthy for my dad and his relation if we spend too much time together aka dwelling in the same domain it's been a decision i fought most of my life and i finally realized his behaviors and the way he treats me in conjunction with alcoholism has been destructive. So the best thing for our relation was for me to move out. Unfortunately, it didn't end well, can read fast. He was constantly criticizing me about my life and everyone in it and for not having a nine to five job and choosing to quit a job, making pretty

decent money so I could chase my passions and try to have a more happy life and even possibly own my own business or even podcast one day. So the problem I face now is I have to decide between living at my mom's, which is 45 minutes away from town because she's out on the sticks or moving in with one of my best friends and his roommates. The thing is there doesn't seem to be much of a problem except for one thing other than I don't have a job, which isn't terrible because I've saved up a few thousand and plan to make some investments. They don't, they just don't keep a clean house. There's trash all over the place from weeks ago. The bathroom is a nightmare, and there's a mountain of weak old dishes. I just don't know what to do.

The sitch is really draining my stoke because I'd love to live with one of my day one homies. We have some pretty stoke times. We could potentially host some serious parties. P.S. Any idea in the dough making department for me dogs would be nothing but encouragement, not to mention for throwing down a dough party. Well, we got the basics down, beer music and babes but we really want to set things off this year so if there's any festive ideas that would be really dope too

don't hold back love you guys dude sorry to hear you going through that situation with your dad um but i commend you for um deciding that it's time to take action and do what's best for yourself um i would you know i would assess the situation like is moving in with your boys um it could be fun but it also could be a bad influence if you're trying to stay on like the right track and you know continue to work hard at whatever you're doing so maybe if if if if you know that you can stay on track and live with your dogs i think that's a good move or if not live with your mom i think you know um sort of or be the guy if it's too dirty be the one to set the initiative of hey guys we're gonna keep this place clean, start cleaning it up, and hopefully they follow suit.

If no one's willing to keep the place clean, I'd go live with your mom, because you know that place is going to be clean. Yeah, but she's 45 minutes outside of town. I think he's going to feel a little isolated. I agree with you, though. I think if he comes over there and he's like, look, I'll be the cleaner guy of the group, and I'll keep you guys motivated,

you're going to have to hassle people and yeah you're gonna have to want to take on that responsibility otherwise you're gonna have to burn some calories just be the change you want to see trying to check them into line but i think it's doable man i would uh yeah i i don't know enough about it but i would say go live with your buddies but i think it's good on you for realizing that you and your dad need some space and and uh it's hard to reach any sort of closure on those issues when you're next to each other all the time so yeah i think getting out of the house is a good move yeah and just encourage the guys to be clean is the way to go i mean you want to people over and so people aren't going to want to come over to a

dirty spot yeah make it look good yeah you know the hiring a cleaner uh it sounds like you know a lot of people are like why would i do that why would i spend that money but if you're living with a group of dudes if you split it oh yeah it's not much. It could be like $20, $40. Yeah. Yeah, going on a cleaning service together. Yeah. Perfect. Or have them pay you to clean it too. Oh, dang.

I love that. And yeah, in terms of raging, I'd say life is always better on wheels. So get some roller skates with your dogs. Host a roller party. Get a disco ball. One time I had a roller party and then I went to a bar on my roller skates and I was like, I was like trying to sneak my way from the bouncer and he saw my roller skates and he's like, fucking roll on in, dude.

And I was like, that's why life's better on wheels. Hey, Chad and JT, I love your podcast. I've currently been on this epic trip the past two months soul searching, getting in tune with who I am and what I want in life. Before I left, I made the decision to break up with my boyfriend of one year. I was torn by the breakup and ended up regretting it, but I decided to keep that to myself. I really wanted to experience my travels to the fullest rather than get caught up in my feelings.

As I returned home for the holidays, a few guys from my past have reached out, including my recent ex, which is really starting to confuse me. I guess my question is, what do you think I should do? Let things ride out and see which connection builds the strongest and potentially pursue that? Or try again at my past relationship? In my high school years, I found toying with guys entertaining. However, I really don't want to make this a game. I know I'm single, but I feel a bit uneasy playing the field again.

I really hope you could give me some male outside perspective on this. Thanks a ton. Yeah, I wouldn't toy with dudes. That's not a good move. Yeah, don't toy. Yeah. We're sensitive. Yeah.

Just because we have dongs does not mean we don't get our feelings hurt. Especially Joe. I mean, Joe, you've got a heart of gold and you got a huge dong yeah yeah and i get hurt um yeah i don't i don't think i'd go back to your ex just because i think that would send the wrong message to him yeah um if he's especially if he still holds a torch for you and uh yeah if you're, if you're just messaging these guys so they'll message you back so you can feel a little bit less lonely over the break,

I totally get that. I think you'll be in good company. A lot of people do that. But yeah, the more we can keep that minimized, probably the better. I mean, I think best case scenario or best suggestion, just go hit a bar with two of your friends that you have fun with at night and just have a wild night. And maybe you'll meet someone there.

And it won't be anyone from your past where there's this attachment, where there's baggage to it. Yeah. Yeah, I concur with Jean-Thomas. Jean Thomas unless you unless you feel like you made a mistake breaking it off with your ex BF and you want to get back and do the relationship for real

I would stay away from you know just because he probably still has feelings so could be murky waters and then yeah just get out there and you know get out into the world see what's up meet, you know, get out into the world. See what's up.

Meet people, you know. Engage in conversation. Try different pokey places. You know, not just one. Try ten. Yeah. Try ten pokey places. That's a good mission.

Yeah. People should do more missions like that. Like month i'm gonna try you know 10 different scooter companies yeah i'll find out what's the best cheesesteak in my city yeah yeah that just fired me up yeah just put yourself towards a fun purpose and and you'll get gains along the way yeah bros hope everyone is well and getting ready to enjoy a fire thanksgiving with family and friends my friends and i have a solid group of people that we go out with almost every weekend in the city, and we all have a great time. This group was forged on the basis of one relationship. My best bro from growing up brought the dudes to the crew, and his girlfriend from college brought

all the chicks to the crew. I'm pumped. Fast forward a couple of months of everyone getting to know everyone really well, and I've started to develop some feelings for one of my bro's girlfriend's best friends. She's hot and awesome. And I want nothing more than to take her on a date and get to know each other better. However, one night when we were all out,

I asked my bro's girlfriend if she thought I should ask her, her friend out. And she gave me a firm, no. Her reasoning was that asking her friend out might make things weird because if this girl denies me, it'll make things awkward whenever we're all together. Whenever we hang out,

we always hit it off, so I'm ready to make a move, but also nervous because of what my boys, GF, said. Should I continue to let things develop organically and just make sure to chat her up and hope something happens whenever I see her? Or should I let her know what I'm feeling and try to show her my romantic side by setting up a fire date

for the two of us? Sorry for the long question, but thanks as always to my bros. P.S., saw your guys' show at Caroline's at Broadway and you guys were fantastic. Oh, thank you. That was cool. Nice, dude. I was telling JT

I think the best moment from that show was when Joe, when he held up your Bud Light. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty cool. That was badass.

It was like a torch. Dude, I would just ask her out. You're going to throw off the vibe. The only way you'd throw off the vibe is if she said no and then you were like... If you're super chill about it, if she says no, then it's no issue. If you're just like, hey, all right, I wish you well. Yeah, it shouldn't be an issue. It's not going to be that weird.

Unless that girl knows something that he doesn't. What young folks do when they're young and they date. Yeah. Yeah, dude. When I first heard what her friend said, I was like, fuck that. Quit looking too much into the future. Yeah, exactly. Look in the present.

Yeah, it's one thing if she says, no, she's not interested in you. But if you're just afraid that it would throw the vibe. If she doesn't have any knowledge of whether she's into him or not, exactly. Look in the present. Yeah, it's one thing if she says, no, she's not interested in you. But if you're just afraid that it would throw the vibe. If she doesn't have any knowledge of whether she's into him or not, then if he's really into her, then he should go for it. Yeah, she needs to be more optimistic. Like, you know what else would be awkward? If you guys are so in love that you're lovey-dovey all the time. Oh. And that's thrown off the vibe.

And that is highly, potentially possible. I think you guys are going to move to Culver City. Yes. You're going to be the next dude there. Dude number two. Dude, Chad needs a buddy in Culver. Yeah. Yeah.

So I want you to ask this girl out and move to Culver so I can hang with someone. Hey, anybody want to go cruise down Overland Avenue? Because it's hard to take a La Cienega every day to kick it with JT and Joe. Yeah, La Cienega's murder. It's a good street, though. Yeah, what are some other streets you really respect? Willoughby. It's a big one. Why Willoughby?

Because it just gets you through town and there's lights and it's a side street. Sweetser? Rosewood. Yeah, Rosewood's nice. Yeah, Sweetser. Yeah. I really love rosewood though i gotta be honest stanley because it's it takes you to errol yeah yeah so so sometimes it's about what's on the street and sometimes it's just about the street yeah and just uh the way it goes through the neighborhood and of course third street They got some great stuff past La Brea

where you cut down and they got those trees that hang over the roads. I don't go that far east. Are they on Sycamore? Yeah, I'm not into that. That's too far for you? Yeah. What is that, about a mile?

A mile and a half, probably. What up, Bro Council? Huge fan of the pod. I write to you today with a heavy heart. I recently struck up a relationship with the sweetest guy in the world. He's smart, good looking, And a mile and a half, probably. on top of his dome. What up, Strider? It's not super noticeable, but I know he's aware of it because he always wears hats. JT, I know you mentioned taking something for premature baldness in an earlier episode.

And I feel this could be beneficial for him as well. How do I bring it up without hurting his feelings and lessening his stoke? Do I even bring it up at all? Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi's stoke. You're my only hope.

P.S. You two will always be my number one dudes. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Look, I think you can just bring it up to him but yeah just talk about what he decides to do about it it's his dome yeah so if it's something that you're that like really becomes a breaking up point that's so tough you never want to break up with someone over something like that yeah it just makes you feel it's not

wrong to bring it makes you feel bad but yeah bring it up and see how he feels. I mean, yeah, I take Propecia. Yeah. Yeah, be gentle. But, yeah. I just would like to say I'm not taking anything for my thinning hair. And if somebody asks me to do it, I'll say no. Why? Because I don't freaking want to.

That's why. I think that's great't freaking want to. That's why. I think that's great. You just believe in God's process. Yeah. Plus, I don't think I would go all the way bald anyway. Because no men in my family have. We just have thinning hairlines. Respect.

Or it'd be cool to be the first true bald guy. I'll be that, Maurice. You'd the first true bald guy. I'll be that, Maurice. You'd be a great bald guy. I like that. Would you tell your, if your girlfriend was going bald, would you tell her to get on something? No. That's nice. You might say something?

That's a very rare scenario. So that's kind of a bullshit hypothetical scenario that you made up that doesn't really happen that's true so what up chieftains of stoke i've recently started working in a mall there is this cute girl who works at another store in the mall who's coming to my store a couple times handing out flyers and such we had brief convos both times but all my co-workers say she seems into me i want to go in to talk to her some more, but she works in a store that sells primarily prom dresses. How should I approach this, Sitch?

Thanks for keeping me safe 24-7. Much love, Disciple of Stoke. You go into there. You say, hey, can you help me find a dress? And she goes, who's the dress for? And you go, it's for you. Wow, that's a great line. Damn.

I have nothing else to add. That was perfect. She gets the dress. You take her on a nice dinner that's on a boat. That's on a boat that's on the river or lake or the ocean. But it's one of those boats that they do dinners on. It's not really for actually taking her into the sea. And you do it up.

John Tucker must die, dude. Wear a suit. Wear velvet. Sing to her. Grab a rose that they're selling pay for the rose give her that rose then you grab another rose and you start singing into it

you sing Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish I'm obsessed show her a video of you spearfishing that'll turn her on yeah Hawaiian slang spearfishing I'm trying to get a video right now so I can turn my girlfriend on with it That'll turn her on. Yeah, Hawaiian slang. Spear fishing. Yeah. I'm trying to get a video right now so I can turn my girlfriend on with it.

I'll get there. What up, Stoke Nation? I just want to say that I'm one of your biggest fans, and I've shared so many laughs with the squad because of you guys. And personally, I think Strider's not only the funniest guy in your squad, but one of the funniest guys ever. No disrespect to Chad and JT. Love you guys. No, it's true. It hurts, though hurts though yeah he's a funny guy man he's always giving the best relationship

advice and is super funny and seems like a solid dude but i'm not sure he's telling the complete truth he's always talking about his girlfriend but has actually but has anyone actually seen his gf or if he has a gf no disrespect to him but i'm really just yeah we get this a lot he just doesn't she doesn't want to be in stuff yeah we know her and he respects her decision and i know her name she's very cool yeah we can't say it yeah she's super cool she doesn't want to be an internet in the internet sphere so which is part of what makes her cool yeah different strokes i know so many people want to see her but then with like don't you think it's cooler the mystery guys yeah because then i think it allows everybody to project on to it they project their girlfriend yeah you know

yeah but she's great and her and strider are so cute together when she comes home sometimes we'll be like watching football he's like like, oh, dude, come on. I need Williams to get a tutty right here. And then she'll come through the door and he goes, what the cute? Why are you so fucking cute? It's very sweet. That's awesome.

And maybe one day she will make an appearance. What up, dudes of Dangtown? I'm majorly confused and need some clear-headed advice not to be a total bummer but let's get right to it my wife recently passed away i am 30 and have two kids under five years old i'm so sorry oh man i could rant all day about how complicated and scary my life has become but that is not why i'm writing in not to be crude but i want to bone i have no interest in dating i just want to unleash the dragon i am attractive well off and have a great personality i'm told great formula for hookups right problem is i have no interest in dating. I just want to unleash the dragon. I am attractive well off and have a great personality, I'm told.

Great formula for hookups, right? Problem is I have not been in the hookup scene since like 09. The game has changed. I have no clue what I'm doing out there. I feel I must point out some additional variables working against me. I can have family take the kids for a night if needed, but anybody I bring back in my castle would immediately know I have

kids and that I am a widow. Our family pictures appropriately are everywhere. And unfortunately my main chariot is a minivan. It seems silly to say, tell a date, let's go back to your place when I'm 30 and own a home. But I would think it would be a major turnoff to see pictures of my deceased wife everywhere.

I'm sure this sounds like expert, uh, level stuff. That's why I'm hitting you up. That's very nice, man. Please, if you could help me navigate my current situation,

give me some pointers on hookup, short-term dating. That would be majorly appreciated i don't i don't know how to help this man um dude i know for me that it's really hard for me to uh just try and have sex with people when there's not a bit more to it i kind of have intimacy issues and like for me to get fully torqued, I kind of have to have trust with the other person. So, and when I didn't have that, I'd have to take like dick pills to help me do it,

which helped a lot, but then it made me feel like I was having a heart attack later. So I'm kind of a scattered person to ask about this. But I would say that it's totally okay to tell someone that you have kids and it's okay to tell someone that you're a widow. And it's even okay to tell someone that you have kids. And it's okay to tell someone that you're a widow. And it's even okay to tell someone that you're just looking for a physical relationship. Yeah, if you go out with someone, just tell them what your situation is.

So then if you do go back to your place, then it's not weird. It's not, I guess, yeah. And I feel like... Just be honest would be the only way to go in that kind of situation. And I feel like there's a fear of judgment here. Yeah, yeah yeah but i think that's probably more a fear of talking about this stuff like maybe he doesn't want someone to like see the photos and then ask him a bunch of questions yeah well yeah it's the judgment thing and then yeah and then it's hard to it's hard to talk about which i totally get and uh you know kudos to you for reaching out.

But I would also say I would pursue dating. Just go on the apps. We can message you on Instagram, and we can talk about it because it's fun to talk about. That stuff makes it easier to keep trying it. Yeah, do the apps. And then just, yeah, go on some dates. This doesn't sound like you're able to go out because you've got the kids, so just...

And then maybe be careful about bringing someone back in front of the kids because i know they're super sensitive and it can be a little destabilizing to them if if if it seems like there's a chaotic romance going on around just don't go to your place say we got to go to your place yeah or get a hotel for the night but dude you got some good assets and dude i don't know a lot of people i think are gonna like that you have kids yeah i i don't think you should worry too much about it um you know uh you got a lot going for you it sounds like and uh i i don't think it's you know i i think you might be too worried about the outcome you you know, just go with the flow. And yeah, sorry to hear you're in that situation, man.

But, you know, I think you'll see a lot of success in this future endeavor because you sound like a great guy. So just put yourself out there. Don't worry too much about the outcome or what they'll think. And I know you'll find some nice ladies who will take good care of you. Yeah, you're going to be good, dude. Sir Chad and Dearest JT, my squad has a problem in a major way. We have a major schmole, and our best efforts to poke him have failed. He's definitely no fun.

He doesn't rage, and he ultimately kills the morale of the squad. This schmole, let's call him Grant K for simplicity, acts like a fail. He's definitely no fun. He doesn't rage and he ultimately kills the morale of the squad. This schmole, let's call him Grant K for simplicity, acts like a parrot. He sits on your shoulder and regurgitates whatever the last phrase

to exit your mouth was. I'm starting to think he's incapable of thinking for himself. All in all, he's just a major bummer. Our grievances are against Grant K or as such.

He always has to be a part of group chats. Everyone knows you're either added voluntarily by those already as a part of the chat or you remain outside. Asking to be in is uncalled for.

He has memorized some of the class schedules of the squad and knows where to find us for lunch and hanging out. He waits in my dorm alone until I get back. Sometimes after class all I want is some peace or quiet or to have a wank and Grant K's presence prevents that. I once drunkly called him a schmoll to his face and all he did

was give a thumbs up well that's pretty nice we tried telling him we want to bone his sister to scare him off even though she isn't even hot and he encourages us all to get with her nice I've tried to talk with the other boys in the squad talk to Grant K himself and even ask my mom for help

nothing has worked the boys and I have decided to go nuclear with the boaking of them. We've done everything but file a restraining order. We need advice. Please, Chet and JT, you're our only hope. So they want to do the full-on boke. But you know what, dude? I would say

this schmole sounds like he's... You're letting him affect your life a lot but i think the key with a schmole situation is if you are successful in boking him will you be that happy you know is this schmole bringing something to the table that you're not even aware of is he keeping everything in tune? Perhaps, you know, is he helping the other people in your squad bond? Because you can all talk about how much of a schmole he is, you know? How much he likes cargo shorts.

So maybe instead of going through with the full boat, maybe just try and shift the mindset a little bit and be like, you know what, this schmole is essential to the squad. Yeah, all the things the schmole have done aren't inherently bad. He's not taking on an alpha position where he's barging in or dominating conversation. He seems like he's trying to be cool cool and he's just not quite getting there. Yeah.

But someone like that with earnest intentions and a good heart, I think you got to give him, you got to give him a pass. Yeah. And dude, he could get cooler. Kevin's our schmole. And Kevin's an alpha schmole. Yeah. He goes from alpha to sensitive.

Yeah. Like that. schmall and kevin's an alpha schmall yeah he goes from alpha to sensitive yeah like that he keeps the the squad in sync oh he's vital you ready yeah for your beaver chad yeah what is your beef of the week my beef of the week is with dust fuck particulates dude yeah, freaking particulates. I didn't know that word, but now I do. And now I can use it in my beef. Particulates and dust. You're about to get Swiffered, all right? I'm sick of dust.

Why does dust exist, you know? It's like I was moving out of my old apartment, and it's just dust everywhere. And I was like, I'm wearing a Natty Light shirt, just living it up. And not feeling, and now I've got dust all over it. And I'm like, now I have to change. Now I have to hit the steam room again to detoxify. And I just want to say dust, like, fuck you.

Nice. I hate it, too. Joe, what's your beef of the week? I would have to say my singing voice, or lack thereof. I've been liking doing karaoke lately, but it's just not working out because I really can't sing. I don't have any, can't hit the notes. And it's a little disappointing, but I'm going to keep trying. Hell yeah, man.

You know, I just, maybe I just need to put a little more heart and soul into it. I think you have all the components needed to be a good singer. Thanks. My beef of the week is I got two. I got E from Entourage. Nice. Thank you. Some people don't get it that he's the schmole of the group.

It's like, yeah, he's making more bread than turtle and drama. And, yeah, he's not as goofy as them. But he's also the one who's always bringing up bummer of stuff when everybody's vibing he's always the one who's on a different wavelength yeah and that's why he's the schmole because that's the vibe no i don't think so no way dude it's e all day yeah i think he's the schmole and dude then my other beef of the week is with me because uh when people have been asking me How many listens the podcast gets I've been juicing the numbers

When I talk to friends It's like I knew I was doing it But I didn't even realize I was doing it Until I was driving in the car looking out the window And I just go I've been juicing the stats Yeah, thanks for coming clean Thanks Raphael Palmeiro Yeah, thanks for coming clean.

Thanks, Rafael Palmeiro. Dude, I like that you're juicing the stats, actually. You do? Because I think you're visualizing this show. Yeah. I used to say I'll tell someone a lie if I feel like I can make that lie come truth and if the lie is going to put pressure on me to make it come true. Like I got this job. Well, you better get that job now or you're going to be really embarrassed.

But it reminded me of a scene in Love and Other Drugs with Jake Gyllenhaal where he's talking to his mom on the phone. He's like, Mom, I sold 8,000 cartons of Viagra. He's like the Viagra salesman in it. And then Anne Hathaway's like, I thought you told me you sold 5,000. And he was like, yeah. And she's like, did you lie to your mom? He's like, yeah, it just sounds better.

He's like, do you lie to me because it sounds better? He's like, I don't know. She's like, do you like yourself? And he's like, what? Why are we even talking about it? She's like, say five good things about yourself. And he can't do it. Wow.

It's a good scene. It is weird when people ask if you like yourself. You're like, I think so. Right, it's kind of an abstract concept. no you do for sure no i know i do i like joe yeah chad who is your babe of the week uh my babe of the week has gotta be uh my babe of the week has gotta be Aunt Jemima dude sometimes I have cheat days stokers and I indulge in the carbs and Aunt Jemima always comes through in the clutch with fire syrup and I just want to say what up thank you for making the best syrup um you know I'm sure some Vermont people are going to come in hot like

But for now, Aunt Jemima tops the list and I got to give it up to her for, you know, making those waffles, making my Mickey waffles extra dank, um, you know, helping me Lego my Eggo, um um and just syrup you know i want to involve syrup and coital engagements too and by that i mean boning

So many different numbers on the clipper and the blend. It's not just two and then cut it.

She does all these different things. She's constantly changing the setting. She really works at it, and I appreciate it. She's very good. That's fire, dog. My baby of the week is young val kilmer nice i mean if you look at him in his prime you can argue he's on the same handsome level as brad pitt which seems like a crazy thing to say but it's not he was that good looking and he was also a killer actor tombstone

is doc holiday has there ever been a cooler character? He drills every fucking line. Heat? Heat. Has anyone ever looked more competent with a machine gun in a film than Val Kilmer when he comes out of the bank? He does not hesitate. And then he's this gambling crazy man, but then he can't let go of his lady.

He loves her too much. De Niro's character, McCullough, is like, hey, you gotta not have anything in your life that you cannot cut and run from in 60 seconds. If you feel the heat coming around the corner, he goes, I can't do it. She's got a great ass. My son rises and falls there. She got a great ass! And you got your

head all the way up it! And then also Val Kilmer in The Saint. That's the one that no one talks about. Oh yeah, I saw that movie in theaters. I saw it in theaters too, baby. And dude, that's the one that no one talks about yeah i mean i saw that movie in theaters i saw it at theaters too baby and dude that's a movie it's a movie star movie he just has to pretend that he's different saints throughout history and he does that to seduce people elizabeth's shoe yeah i love any movie where someone is seducing someone else for information that's erotic stuff that's what i'm into and uh yeah, Val Kilmer was so good in The Saint.

I totally forgot what that movie was about. It's about cold fusion. I'd like to watch it again. Free energy. And yeah, Val Kilmer, you're one of the greatest ever, man. The Iceman. And then the Iceman. Can they hear that at home, the chomp I'm doing right there?

Yeah, I could hear it. Is that Aaron's? Yeah, that's mine. mine dude yours was amazing solid yeah i almost dude i almost cracked my tooth trying to do that you got jack dempsey job beast that was awesome chad who's your legend of the week my legend of the week is uh mike myers uh i um i was crushing austin powers recently because it's on Netflix now. And I loved that movie as a kid. I can't tell, you know, I don't know if I watched Austin Powers more as a kid or old school,

but it's in the top two, and it's just so good. And then Elizabeth Hurley and stuff, and then Wayne's World. You know, just those two bangers really just uplift my spirits and get me fired up so thank you Mike Myers for creating two uh would you call them both franchises yep yeah two franchises that really you know um get me fired up and get me stoked and and just keep the laughs coming you know because, because even today, they hold up. I still laugh, you know, and movies that can still make me laugh out loud for a long time,

I got to give it up to them, and I got to give it up to the comedians who made that happen. So thank you, Mike Myers. And I saw you in New York one time, and my friend said, hey, it's Mike Myersers and you look back and you gave a smile and i'll never forget it so what up nice that's awesome who's your legend joe oh my legend is uh my grandma she's she turned 92 last week and i gave her a call and you know at the end of the call, I said, I love you, Grandma. And she said, thank you.

She's earned that. Thank you. I think. Because, like, yeah, she never, like, would say I love you. But she did all the cooking and the cleaning and taking care of us when we were kids. all the cooking and the cleaning and taking care of us when we were kids. She's like, yeah, you better love me because I've shown you nothing but love over the years. That's fine.

She doesn't need to say it. She's shown it. I think that's what she means by thank you. That's awesome. She's earned that. Sometimes you can say thank you if people say I love you. People take that as an insult. But no, some people are like, yeah.

I've earned that for you to say that to me. Thank you. That's nice. Yeah. My legend of the week is Coach O from LSU. Coach Ed Ogeron. Yeah, that's cool.

One of the best coaches in the class of football. Every time they go out there, we're going to put up 45 points. We're going to beat the fuck out of that other team. They're going to go home with the tail between their legs, and we're going to go home and booze a bunch and motherfucking party it up because we're the best goddamn motherfucking football team in this country. That's Coach O, baby. No bullshit.

Yeah, he's cool. And I never thought he'd be a head coach. I always thought he was going to be a DC, who's a great recruiter. I didn't think he'd get the job to lead a top 10 program, but he got the interim job, and he kept it. He wouldn't let him take it from him. Once he got his opportunity, he held on to that thing. I know he'd been a head coach before.

I just meant again. And I just love his attitude. I love his energy. I had a friend who worked with him at USC and said he came into the training room one time, and he saw players doing homework. He said, what the fuck are you pussies doing homework for? This is a football place. We play football here.

And that's why he's the best recruiter, because he's going to come over to your house and be like, hey, here's what's going to happen. You ain't going to do a lick of homework. You're going to play football, and I'm going to put you in the motherfucking NFL. You're going to have posters all over this fucking house. I'm Coach O. I love that. I love that.

Because they're all, you know, those college football coaches, come on. They're all Coach O. He just has the good attitude to just be it all the time. Aaron, who is your legend of the week? You guys fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Yeah. We've been talking about them a lot lately.

Oh, dude, I know where you're going. Yes. John Frusciciante the guitarist has rejoined the band it's huge he's been gone for a decade uh they had uh josh klinghoffer uh who i wasn't as stoked about and now john is back he's there he's been there for their best albums and i'm looking forward to uh you know them resurging yeah because their last album that like really had a cultural impact was probably stadium arcadium right and that was the last album that had frusciante on it yeah it was a double album yeah dude yeah and his guitar is so is so good yeah it's great and he's he's great solo artist

too like he's got some good solo songs. He's more spacey. Yeah, but I'm glad he's back in the band. Yeah, they need him. Always happy to see the Chili Peppers bringing it. Can't stop addicted to the shindig. Chad, what is your quote of the week? My quote of the week is

from Bad Boys 2. What is your quote of the week? My quote of the week is from Bad Boys 2. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, they're in a high-speed chase at this moment right now. They're in Michael Lowry's Ferrari. It's a dope Ferrari, and it's high speed. Cars are flying over the road. There's a boat.

And fuck our lives up. Who says that, Cher? Nicolas Cage says it to Cher. Nice. That's cool. Chaz, what's your phrase of the week for getting after it?

Let's kick Mr. Clean's ass. Bar with the bar. The cleaning guy? Yeah because You're gonna rage So disregard cleanliness Oh that's neat Yeah let's make Mr. Clean earn his paycheck

Let Mr. Clean be Mr. Neen Joe what is your phrase I'd like to say something holiday related Given that We've got all the holidays coming up Um I would say You know

Eat well Drink Moderately I would say, you know, eat well, drink moderately, and enjoy family and friends. I don't know. That was great. Maybe. You don't have to say that. For sure. I like the intention behind it, though.

Yeah. Couldn't think of an exact. behind it yeah couldn't think of an exact my phrase of the week is a slight uh twist on a lil wayne lyric from the song mona lisa hey baby treat my halo like a frisbee oh good what does he mean by it well he says he says like he's making fun of a guy who's in love with a girl that he's been sleeping with. And he's like, oh, you worship her like she's an angel. I treat her halo like a frisbee. And I think it means I'm very casual about the perceived goodness.

And frisbees are for people to catch. So I throw it and she catches it. Yeah, so she's playing my game. It's a lot of imagery into a really kind of rude thing to say. Yeah. But it's powerfully, it's powerful poetically. It's pretty deep.

So I try to spin it a little bit to take away some of that burn and just put the burn on me. Nice. Yeah. I dig it. Yeah, it's cool. I dig you guys digging it. Well, that was fun.
