There's two Christian Bales and a Prestige. Oh, fuck. Dude, that's even better. That kind of twist.

I don't know what it means. It doesn't really work, but that movie was really twisty. Yeah. I need to watch this, though. Oh, you haven't seen it? No. It's solid. I've been on a Steve Martin binge.

Oh, really? What are you watching? I watched yesterday. Two days ago, I watched The Jerk. Then I watched Bowfinger. I watched Trains and Automobiles. I don't know what I'm going to do next. I'm thinking maybe Dirty Rotten

Scoundrels or maybe Father of the Bride. I saw that when I was a child. LA Story is a good one to go with. I gonna say dude yeah la story and roxanne because those are ones i think he wrote and so they really have his flavor on them yeah and you get you get the full range of his uh his wit because he's a witty he's a witty motherfucker that guy did i've been watching his johnny carson appearances fire oh i haven't seen those are they good oh they're so good that's cool Because he's a witty motherfucker, that guy. He's a witty dude. Dude, I've been watching his Johnny Carson appearances. Fire.

Oh, I haven't seen those. Are they good? Oh, they're so good. That's cool. I'll get into it more because he's my legend. Oh, nice. Yeah, dude, I've been watching old Johnny Carson clips. It's pretty cool.

I mean, you watch old politicians on there, and they're so composed and, like, well-spoken. You're like, wow, dude. this is how you guys used to talk? Yeah, national discourse has eroded a bit. Even like old political commentators, like maybe they were the best of the best of people we watch. So maybe it's like we're comparing them to the ochre of today. You watch like Gore Fall and like William F. Buck debate on TV. So it was like educated back then and like

put sentences together pretty wild wait dude can't i'm sorry can you say that again it was cut out yeah i was just blabbering i was saying like even the political commentators back then like gore of it all and wayne mclean you watch them like debate on t and these guys are so much fucking smarter than the guys who are talking today or at least present better i don't know if their ideas are better but they present better for sure yeah gorvydal crushed it on ali g show too was he on yeah yeah yeah shit i can't hear either of you now are you guys there can you hear me aaron yeah all right All right. There you are. You're back. Yeah, yeah.

Gore Vidal was gay. There's actually a funny joke about that in the movie In the Loop. James Gannolfini is like, I'm the Gore Vidal of Congress. And she's like, Gore was gay. He's like, I didn't know that. But yeah, dude, him and this super hot guy from Yale both fought in the army together and were in love and were super badass and then would just bone down. That's awesome. Both really handsome, too. too yeah have they made a movie out of that i don't know they probably should right dude yeah i've just been chilling i drove up to la i got to put eyes on

you in person for the first time today yeah you're such a uh kind-hearted gentleman dude thank you so much oh dude it was good to see you man. I hadn't seen you in forever. Yeah, it was nice. I drove by some of the other dudes' houses and just dropped off some supplies. I'm going to keep doing that, too. It makes me feel good. And I don't have to get out of the car. I just put them in bags in the back seat.

Yeah, how'd their mugs look? Everybody looked great, dude. Joe Pelazon looked the best. He sparked the most joy in me like when i saw him i was just like goddamn this cute motherfucker i miss this he has a great smile it really uh he just beams with positivity totally right and cuteness and cuteness totally and then maurice though dude he was he was like sticking his head in the car trying to get close to me to talk to me he's like i can't hear you i was like back your head up out the fucking window dude yeah but it was good to see

him too and then and then this girl i've been talking to i drove by her place and and just looked at her for the first time in person wow yeah first time ever i've looked at her on person what was that talking dude it was just building the romantic tension i was like oh when this whole thing lifts i'm gonna give her a smooch to end all smooches. It's going to be like that one where the sailor comes home and holds the lady down or whatever. Yeah. Or it'll be like an image like that.

Or like that guy lighting himself on fire in front of the tank or something. It's going to be like one of those images. Did you have like a romantic comedy kind of spark between you yeah romantic comedy and maybe like uh maybe like even like a more desperate war-torn romance like english patient or something like that oh yeah or uh what's a portrait of a lady on fire except heterosexual yeah yeah i haven't seen that yet. Is that good? It's good, yeah. Dude, you should paint a painting of her.

And next time you drive by, just fucking lift it up and be like, look, this is what I made for you. Whoa. Yeah. Maybe her in a dress that's on fire just to pay homage. She would like that too. I think women like being described as being on fire oh yeah i mean

who doesn't i like being described as on fire you are on fire oh you're sizzling i did see strider for a bit that was really nice and i saw his calise i saw his gf which was really nice they're so lovely we talked about uh call of duty oh yeah yeah because uh we've just been on there just pwn and noobs but the lag is like he's got ridiculous lag and so do i that's why the podcast audio has been kind of bad too my mom's wi-fi is just not where it needs to be so i might just decide to boost it i might just call the wi-fi people and say hey yeah you gotta you gotta boost my mom's Wi-Fi. But yeah, it was really good to see him.

We were trying to figure out other ways we could hang, like just do like a virtual lunch date or something like that. You know, just trying to get creative in these times. Yeah. I know, it's crazy, man. I can't believe it's been a month. It's been a month, dude.

Yeah. It's crazy. How quick was the drive up? Like 55 minutes. It was so breezy. Crazy. Yeah. There's more traffic than you'd expect, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm also more judgmental of people in nice cars right now. Why? Like when someone has, I don't know, when someone has a really nice car, I'm like, really? Now? It's Corona? why like when someone has i don't know when someone has a really nice car i'm like really now like you're gonna drive electric blue maserati come on uh yeah but i mean that's just the dude's car uh and then uh i didn't i don't think i realized until today how much i saw you guys

because you know we stay vacation yeah actually physically seeing you guys first time in a while i was like man i want to hug these guys and i want to like go sit down in their living room and like yeah just like chill you know it's so crazy i whenever i wake up in the morning i'm like i'm pretty fired up because i'm like i'm gonna attack the day i'm gonna do you know i'm gonna kill some noobs on halo cod whatever i'm gonna read a book you know like learn how to cook like a souffle or some shit but then by nighttime past like 8 p.m i'm just like what am i doing yeah dude yeah because like i've been in my apartment solo i you know i've been in contact with people so i don't feel like i'm in like solitary confinement but like it's weird i've been i've been alone for a month it's crazy dude yeah it's crazy you still seem like sprightly yeah i feel good i'm not uh

my family's worried about me they're like they keep you know my brother's like uh you know i'm just worried about you the most i'm like i'm fine you know like because you're right yeah i'm but i'm thriving i'm like i'm an introvert you know i can i can you know uh dive into that side of myself but it is weird when you when you stop and think of how much time has passed. Yeah. You know, I was in such a panic for the first couple weeks. Like I was just straight up just terrified and just having panic attacks all the time. That this last week, I've actually chilled out and I've actually been having a pretty good time. Yeah, I think I'm more relaxed now than I was pre-quarantine, which is crazy. I don't even think I've even thought about what the world is going to be like. I was just so

worried about not getting the virus and hoping my family doesn't get it. I haven't even really thought about how things might change and how long they might be changed for right i'm i'm leading into that kind of thinking but right now i'm just stoked yeah i'm having a good time and uh there's some stuff i gotta tweak i've been watching porn again i gotta tell the stokers you know yeah i've been big against porn but it did help me for a little bit against these uh panic attacks but you know it's it was the lesser of two evils but i am i didn't watch any today i'm trying to put the kibosh on it and i just watched all of it i i saw every porno yeah i was i was watching porn from my high school i think that's always the point that resonates the most you have

that gross nostalgia and uh i saw it all i watched johnny sins have sex 60 hours he has a fire tiktok too oh does he really yeah he's a beast oh dude that's great to hear he's a cool guy who knew his hog could dance like that yeah oh is his penis is his penis out and tick no no but you just you just i mean that's all you think about because he's like trying to be like funny and stuff and you're like i just know you have a gigantic hog dude like just talk about that i think he's actually a pretty good actor yeah when he's boning when he's not boning he's a bad actor he's kind of what i think makes him and i'll you know this is kind of a crass conversation but what i think makes him the best porn star is that he really stays in character while he's boning like he'll remember details from the introduction when he's boning he'll be like

like he'll be a fake doctor and he'll be like oh man i wouldn't have brought my stethoscope if i knew we were going to get to this point and i'm like dude that's like pretty good dialogue to say in the middle of like being hard it's like like it's it's you know he'll probably never get the right i know actually gets a lot of recognition because if you look on reddit there's like, like it's, it's, you know, he'll probably never get the right. I know actually gets a lot of recognition. Cause if you look on Reddit, there's like so many appreciation threads from, but he'll never get the mainstream kind of appreciation he deserves. You know? Well, maybe that's a good thing.

Maybe he's in the sweet spots where like the celebrity won't destroy him and he can maintain his cool and just like have his life and get some recognition, but not, you know, be like the michael jackson the giant dongs that's a really good that's a really good reading on it for sure yeah uh but i was gonna say like you kind of did like the old parenting method with smoking where you just like make your kids smoke the whole pack and then they don't want it anymore yeah you smoke the whole pack of porn yep i think i'm done that's awesome yeah i mean i was like my wiener can't even get erect right now i've beat it down so much like my my addiction

has outpaced my body and it's dragging my limp body behind it like come on keep going and my body's like bro i need a fucking break dude yeah but i think my body's still pumped to not be having panic attacks and just be chilling in this this new era yeah of modern life it's nice that you seem to be uh forgiving yourself which is nice because i think in this time it's like you need you need some method to cope and also once you start i mean that dopamine trick is so crazy to where you're like done and then your mind just is like that craving for it yeah feed me baby it's insane yeah totally no yeah i'm not being like you know what i think it's being around my

mom my mom has like like such a good uh outlook on life yeah she doesn't really beat herself up for stuff um yeah like i heard her i heard her talk to trying to give up bread for lent and then i heard her talk to god and she just goes god i'm sorry i have to have two pieces of bread i'm sorry and then she went and had two pieces of bread and i was like all right hell yeah like i would have done that i would have like for three days i'm a fucking fucking shit bag. Yeah. I wasn't supposed to. My mom was like, who gives a fuck? Have some fucking bread.

Dude, it's, it's actually, it's kind of weird, but I actually even asked my mom about the porn thing. I was like, yo mom, I think I'm going to like maybe watch porn again.

She's like, John Thomas, go jerk off. Who cares? If it makes you happy, you're happy. Go jerk off. What the fuck?

What the fuck are you beating yourself up for? Go jerk off. I'm like, all right, cool. Yeah, that's awesome. I was all right. Well, well i'm gonna go upstairs and read

she walking on you she's like that's good that's good she's stroking john thomas i'm so happy you're jerking off that's wonderful look at you you're having fun that's great i love you yeah that's johnny sins oh he's great no that's her I think her approach is smart because it's like with all this stuff whenever you try to

restrict yourself on stuff like you know porn or bread or whatever or whacking off if you just learn

to bounce back quickly from it instead of beating yourself up for it I think that's the right formula yeah for sure I beat myself up so much about all that stuff you know if i like jerk off or whatever i wake up in the morning i'm like i'm depleted i have no energy to do anything

yeah creativity i'm gonna watch the news yeah i think go ahead keep going but yeah with any of that stuff or if you're like trying to stop drinking anything you drink you just got to get like bounce right back get back into your routine and not even just forgive yourself quickly and just keep moving totally i think we live in this like i think our culture is like super into optimization right now i'm reading this book that talks a lot about it and uh it uh it just makes you realize like that is good at like especially when something like this happens where the whole world gets turned on its head it's like it's it's not the right mindset for right now i don't know maybe it is i mean you should still be trying to get better and like

learn how to do something you never knew how to do with all this downtime yeah but i also think it's like it's maybe a good lesson that we have to go easy on ourselves and just try to get better and like learn how to do something you never knew how to do with all this downtime yeah but i also think it's like it's maybe a good lesson that we have to go easy on ourselves and just try to get out of this thing in one piece right you know what i mean like we don't like be wall to wall just like trying to like be the fucking greatest thing that's ever fucking happened every second of the day it's like no do you just need to like fucking get through the day and then get through the next day and then we'll come out of this thing and hug the shit out of each other yeah yeah yeah my advice was gonna be i just meditate and then have a cookie i've just been eating carbs like crazy dude fat full of

just noodles for dinner oh i've been eating pasta too yeah yeah just with butter and pepper and salt for me i just yeah yeah i've been doing olive oil though i've been doing olive oil i gotta get some olive oil it's a good move yeah i've been i've been uh i've been eating spaghettios i've been eating mac and cheese but i i i you know every other day dude that's the key every that's what i'm doing with porn right now i'm gonna start going every other day no more than an hour a week that's my new that's my new mentality on it. Nice. What's it? How much time elapses during your average sesh? With porn?

Yeah. Oh, dude, I don't want to freak people out, bro. But like, I mean, lately, because my wiener is so tired, it's been like, it takes me like an hour. I got to find something hyper specific. Like I find like these like very little moments where they like make good eye contact when they're in like this perfect like composition. And I'm like, all right, I can just do that. It's, it's not, it's not,

it's not find the romance in it. Yeah, exactly. I have to find like, and like, I've become like, I was, I think I mentioned this to you earlier. I become like a real critic. Like there's no one to talk to about this critical knowledge that I have, but like, I know when it's fake so easily now, cause I've seen so much. I'm like, S is bullshit.

Bullshit. And then I found like a two second part. Actually, Dexter Wallace talked about that in his book where like, and it's funny, he wrote it as if he heard it from somebody else at a porn shop, but I think it was just his perspective. And then he just attributed it to someone else to like disassociate.

But he talked about how that's what like real porn lovers those moments of genuine human connection in porn i think that's probably you know he's a smart dude so he's finding the intelligence in something pretty seedy but yeah i do i do come into that a little bit yeah yeah yeah that's what i uh i've been trying to limit myself to just sort of like, what's it called when a playboy fold, centerfold? Is that like a style of photo? I've been trying to limit myself to just like nudes. Yeah, that's much better.

But then, you know, the next day it's back to fisting so you know yeah i have to have a big dong in there i love it you know you know like i'm the old-fashioned all-american you know but that's that's my stuff you know like in uh on like 9-11 like on the anniversary they'll like replay like this is what the news was saying that day like this was what was happening then this is what people are going to come back to like this is what we were talking about during the pandemic yeah big dongs and porn yeah these guys were geniuses well dude i saw it too like just to transition out a little bit like it's all like because i've been playing a ton of call of duty too i've been probably playing an hour or two

a day uh that there's 50 million people on call of duty right now it's insane wow yeah 50 million like if you're not on call of duty are you even in the zeitgeist of what's happening in the world like are you even alive right now like that's where everybody's at it's fun dude it was fun having you on yeah i played you guys too i need to get back in there with you guys i've been i've been uh vacillating between halo and cod but i just i just left the war zone actually i got fifth oh you were playing call judy online i i got i was in the war zone yeah fuck yeah dude i love to hear that what gun you rocking well yeah have you played war zone no oh the war so it's like a huge map and it's like you start off with like 150 dudes and i just do solos

sometimes i'll join up with like a squad but i'll like a solo. And it's sort of like this huge map. And then last one to survive wins. So you parachute into the map. And it's like Grand Theft Auto size, like enormous. And you just like raid all these buildings for guns. And then you just try to find people. So it's much more, it takes much longer and it's like a lot less shooting, but it's fun. Cause you're just like,

it's sort of like paintball a little bit. You got fit out of 150. Yeah. But I think I only killed like three people. So I think I was kind of hiding out a little bit. I mean, that's what you do in real life. I mean,

yeah. Right. Yeah. Hunger games. And he killed only like one guy. Oh, good call. Yeah.

Yeah. Not that you're, you're much more, you're much more Katn one guy. Oh, good call. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Not that you're much more Katniss Everdeen, but like. Well, I was getting dominated in your guys' games. Yeah. Classic multiplayer. I was getting hosed. But you were brand new to it, and we got some studs, and you don't know that level yet.

We've been playing that level relentlessly for like three weeks. It was a great boon to our morale, though, to have you in there. You got great vibes over the comms. Oh, thanks, man. Yeah. It's great to talk to such cool dudes in that squad. Oh, yeah, they're legends. Yeah, they get after it.

They're good with a headshot and they're good with a zing. Well, what's your gun? What's your loadout? All right, dude, I'm glad you asked. I've rocking the mp7 as per brooks bergoon's recommendation but then it's a submachine gun so it doesn't have the long range that you really need for a lot of those levels so as my perk i'm rocking i got the perk where you can have two primary weapons so that was nice m4 and i put like the apx hologram scope on it so I can do a little bit of sniping. So I got the best of both worlds.

I can breach a house or a building with my little submachine gun, and then I can blow domes from two clicks away with my heavy submachine gun. Oh, did I need to do that? I'm marking the MP4, I think, and then just a handgun. But I need to up my game i need to get the two premier weapons i think you're gonna like it dude yeah but i've been bagging with kev you know dude we we did two on twos and usually we get dominated because these kids are so good and they just fucking destroy us but last night we had like a pretty even match. So there's a lot of healthy bagging going on,

you know, when there's other ones, when you get, just get dominated, you know, it's like you can get two or three bags or like, but in this one, it was like,

it was pretty even Steven and they bagged back, which I was really happy about. I really like when dudes back me back. Cause it's like, all right, we're,'re you know i'm not just you know stuff in your face well yeah it's it's a nice like it's nice to find kindred spirits like those people could be anywhere in the world but they enjoy t-bagging your digital avatar as much as you like teabagging theirs. Yeah. I don't know what that says about me. I kind of like getting bagged more than the act itself of bagging. It's noble as fuck, dude.

You like bringing other people joy more than you like bringing yourself joy. Dude, thank you so much. Aaron, have you been balling at all? Do you, are you, you want any of these systems? Uh, no, I haven't really played video games. any of these systems uh no i haven't really played video games um when i play it's usually mlb the show or rock band um but i really haven't done those either i've been playing my actual guitar more more than anything oh nice yeah that's cool well dude don't be afraid to get call of duty or halo and you know come and come live the dream. Yeah, Aaron.

It'd be fun. I know. I have a wife, though, so that might not go over so well. Yeah, dude. It's funny. I hear my friends' wives over the comms sometimes. You got us? I got you now, yeah.

Okay. So I'll be hearing my buddies, and they'll be talking in their comms voice. They'll be like, yeah, bro, get dominated, bitch. How you like that? And then their girlfriend will walk in. They'll be like, yeah, bro, get dominated, bitch. How you like that? And then their girlfriend will walk in. They'll be like, oh, hey, babe. What's up? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's do a side salad. That sounds really nice. And then I'll start yelling. I'll be like, hey, no girlfriend voice over the comms. You're comms if you're using the girlfriend voice. Yeah. Dude, I was – oh oh dude i i follow this it's just like uh it's just like a model on instagram but she lives in miami and uh not to change the subject so quickly but she lives in

miami and she lives in like a high rise and they have huge balconies and uh they're just like by the pool at the bottom they're just doing a dance party for the entire building and it's like huge like 20 stories and uh i was like i need something like that that's my story you need a dance party no it's just like like can you imagine if you lived in a huge apartment complex and you had this big balcony and you're overlooking the ocean in Miami and you're all in quarantine together and you're all just like, what are we doing? And then your apartment complex just throws you a frigging dance party for the entire

building at once. That'd be amazing. Is everyone dancing on their balconies or are they dancing? Yeah. Cool. Oh, on their balconies. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Who's the model? Kiki pasio no cindy prado for sure but yeah i was on some like super hot ladies like uh instagram live where she was doing a workout and i was like hey i like i just wanted to talk to her yeah but instead of just being like hey how are you doing i was like hey is there a way to work out your biceps without them getting too big? She didn't respond. And then I asked one more time. And then I just, out of shame, X'd off the live.

And I was like, all right, back to real life. Yeah, that's good. Dude, speaking of lives, how are the lives going? Dude, they're so fun, man. I really enjoy them. Yeah, I mean, it's like, it works well with my brain because people just fire information at me and then i get real frenetic but it actually kind of calms my brain sometimes to just have that steady stream of stimulation coming in and then i'll just be like

but i heat up like my temperature goes up by like two degrees every time i do it and then uh but it's it's fun and it's it's nice to talk to the uh to talk to the stokers in real time like that. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it's a good way to feel connected and still feel productive. I've been really enjoying them. I think that's something that I'll keep doing after this is over. You know what I mean?

That's what's really cool about this. I actually think this whole thing has given me a lot of clarity on um activism and comedy and like all the stuff we do you know what i mean yeah we were working on some projects and i was just like so um invested in a good way but i think i was almost being too hard on the process because i was like i i was being like uh i i don't think i i i i was making activism and comedy too important you know right right yeah and it is you have to care but it's like then something like this happens and you're like dude this is just like a privilege that we get to do this stuff yeah and like just have fun with it you know what i mean and just let it rip yeah no i felt that same shift too like i didn't know what it was but i just felt much more relaxed

and like free and then it's like it's sort of given us the opportunity to like we've always wanted to remake fast and the furious we're doing stuff like that and then like editing those videos i was just editing like all day yesterday it's like the most fun i've ever had oh dude you're editing you're editing on the the race car scene was so on the the smoke him scene was so good it was so good thank you i feel like uh who's a good i feel like hugh jackman and swordfish when i'm editing you know yeah just fucking cranking it out it's like i love editing so much um but just like yeah just like i've been watching like steve martin and stuff and just to get it it's given a chance to sort of get like a different perspective on all that stuff and

just sort of like re-evaluate so you can get back to the the fun i guess yeah yeah and i think it strips away a lot of the politics too you know what i mean yeah yeah it's like you're you're doing comedy or and then we're doing our activism but we're also living in a community with other people who do that stuff and sometimes their opinion starts to change my opinion and i'm not even conscious of the fact that it's not even really my opinion that it's more my environment conscious of the fact that it's not even really my opinion, that it's more of my environment pushing me in that direction. Right. And then,

and then all this stuff happens and all that stuff seems so silly. Yeah. I'm just like, who cares what like anybody thinks? Like it's all, we're arguing about nothing. We're all just trying to like elevate our own station and make ourselves more special.

And like, it's all just like a, it's like a, it's bullshit. Like it's all just like, it's like a it's bullshit like it's all just like it's all of us just like finding ways to make ourselves like feel a little bit smarter funnier than the people we're with and it's like that shit matters who gives i know yeah that's such a yeah go ahead even like things that are like on the fence of like offensive i'm kind of i used to be kind of like don't say things that are like at all offensive and now i'm just like well if a bunch of people

are dying and there's a crazy virus ripping through the world if that's what makes someone feel a little bit more okay for a second maybe it's not that big of a deal i you know within reason i'm not saying you know don't run out of your house and say the n-word but yeah like uh i don't even know what i'm saying anymore i think i'm just being easier on people which is good yeah well you gotta take chances take risks yeah uh not with yeah never mind no no no no no no no uh i was gonna say not with racism uh yeah not racism i don't mean with racism yeah but just being edgy you got you got you got a you got you guys you know dance on that line a little bit yeah uh but i mean i know this whole thing is it's given me made me so much more excited to dive back into those projects because it's just like it's it's a much more relaxed

and you know like i've been watching like the rick rubin documentary and like they talk about creativity and how you know uh any kind of stress stress inhibits creativity so um you know being able to sort of gain that more i keep saying like relaxed perspective on everything. It just helps everything flow a little bit, I think. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, I got a bunch of classics.

I bought Catra and the Rye, Grapes of Wrath, and what else have I? What's the other one? i don't fucking know dude i'm gonna tell you i think catcher in the rye that guy's annoying dude holding coffee field oh yeah he's he's so ornery dude yeah and he's so self-obsessed and he's like just i i i think i did too much to him like his like battles with being authentic it's like i think we all wrestle with that, especially when you're in your adolescence. But seeing his brain

and one that's so close to my own insecurities, I was just like, I had to throw the book away. I was like, dude, just shut the fuck up, bro. I was like, quit worrying about your fucking professor and how he's kind of a horse's ass. Just go party, dude. I know, dude.

But people love him. I get it now i think there's something about writing and reading reading books like like uh just good literature in the morning that for me i i felt just better in the morning not that i don't feel bad in the morning but just like it does something to your brain it just i think it gives it like a boost i got huck finn that's what i got too i got huck finn nice dude fired up to read that again i oh yeah yeah mark twain dude beast beast yeah i think that stuff's great i think it just it really does like i think it just clears the freeway in your brain. You know what I mean? You're getting these really clean, well-thought-out sentences that are really well-organized and paint a very clear picture, and it's just clearing up your brain to think more like that.

Right. Exactly, yeah. Then you go around and you start like – and then you see other people not reading, and you're like, what a donce. What a donce, dude. Should we let the dogs in? Yeah, let's get the dudes in here.

How should we do this? Are we just going to bring in... What's the plan? Should we do both at the same time? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, because I just told them 8.45, let's see dude i think i might i think i might pull the trigger on an assault bike oh really yeah yeah i was looking at i was looking at the uh the rogue echo because i've been i've been running i've been running outside, but running on the pavement and stuff.

And it just fucks up your legs. Yeah, it's hard on the knees and the hips, right? Yeah. Yeah, dude, get a bike, man. I'm trying some kettlebells, but they're sold out everywhere, and they're so expensive. But, I mean, i can afford it but i just feel like guilty spending so much on like kettlebells but i love kettlebells so i don't know

i think it's i think it's a good investment i think uh like they last forever yeah what are they cast iron yeah yeah dude i'm getting the competition bells so i don't i don't know if these ones are cast iron but they're some what's the other iron uh bulk iron raw iron yeah it's raw iron i'm gonna get some raw iron bells and then today i bought a one pound jump rope so i can put on some muscle while I'm on a skip rope. Yeah, dude. Get my traps freaking loaded, dude.

Not like Jean-Claude Van Damme. I was watching him in kickboxer today. He has no traps. Really? No, it's hilarious. He's so jacked and he just has zero traps. Boom. Oh, bro.

Dude, I feel at home in these things, dude. I've just been online just getting murked, dude, by dudes who rip at freaking COD, dude. But I'm getting better, dude. Dude, I love that you got camo, man. Yeah. That just puts you in the right mindset to shoot some domes. It was a no-brainer, dude.

I saw it. I was cruising on Amazon. Uh-oh. lost strider there but we gained Joe we lost strider Joe how you doing how's it going nice like three mile walk oh nice yeah it was it was nice good dude Texas Strider uh Aaron how's it going man oh there you go

sick uh Joe the hair's looking good oh thank yeah this is uh yeah two weeks length now from a full buzz. Nice, dude. I dig it.

You guys all just playing Call of Duty or something? Exactly. We're gearing up. Yeah, we played for a while. We played earlier today, Strider. Strider, your policy is if someone plays worse than you on your team, what's your policy or your theory? It means that's why we lost because I am and should be the worst player. So if I'm ever not the worst player, it's that other dude's fault. Who's your favorite person to kill?

My favorite person to kill? Probably our buddy Greg Giebel, dude. He talks good smack. It's the type of smack that's smart and clever. It's just the right amount of tone where it gets you enough but funny enough. And we started at about the same time, and he's way better than I am right now. So it just means that it's been the closest competition, but not really because he's way better than I am right now. So it just means that, you know, it's been the closest competition, but not really because he's way better.

So it hurts the most. It hurts the most. So when I get to murk him in a hard point, it feels good. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. What do you think about the Connor boys on there? They get a little too long-winded.

Yeah. They're long-winded on the comms yeah i mean look when you're on the comms dude and you're at like you know when you're at the caves azir bro and you're trying to hold it down with holographic sight down there and the hard point you know that one of your bros is up there sniping for you while you're sacrificing the body down there and you're hearing a story like a third person story about like i don't know something funny his brother said and like and it's and you're getting all context dude no punch line you just got to go dude keep

it down i need to know where the guys are coming in from in the cave you know but you know i love the energy i love the enthusiasm they're unbelievable guys great family connor's all around but um yeah when we're uh we're on cod you don't you don't busy up comms dude i mean that's that's combat 101 dude you know over out that's how you talk 10-4 roger you know copy that yeah oh my dog joe when are you gonna get xbox uh i'm not i not. I don't feel like playing video games. I feel like it's going back in time. Yeah, I have regressed to my 16-year-old self. I'm just watching porn, reading a little bit, working out, and playing video games.

I got to tell you, Joe, I'm maybe the happiest I've ever been. Well, I mean, I just feel like whenever I'm playing video games, I feel like my mom's going to bring a bowl of popcorn in any minute. I just feel like 13 again. I don't want to do that. And plus, I suck now. I used to be really good at video games, but if I try to play, I fucking suck ass.

No, it's not dude i suck i've been getting back non-stop it's awesome why is that no it's not fun i dig it dude i mean it's sick to be part of something you know you're out there you're connected with like some 13 year old and like you know who knows where new hampshire or something like that dude and he just had a tough time his dad yelled at him and he's got you're talking to one of the guys letting steam off on uh no no

Like, uh,

remember that show sports science. You have, you ever seen that show? The worst show. Dude, it's bro. It, the formatting of it is like designed to get nothing done. I feel like they like have two minutes of something to say and extended over

25 minutes. Yeah. And it's like, dude, this whole thing could have been done like that. It's like, it's directed by the Connor brothers, dude.

Zing. But, um, dude, this whole thing could have been done like that it's like it's directed by the connor brothers dude zing but uh um dude like one of them that i read is about how uh athletes when they dunk so they look like they're flying and they did like the science behind it which is kind of cool like and it just came down to like they literally just like push their back out a little bit so it's an optical illusion it just perceives that little flight thing by like while they're actually coming down gravity's pulling them down they flatten out their back so it looks like they're flying so well that's like an art form you know that's sick jordan was the best at doing it maybe who's the guy dominic wilkins he's for yeah those guys can jump so high they can get like parallel oh yeah dude they're 40 inches in the air they got time to do that they could send an email up there dude they could listen to an entire connor story up there dude zing again dude oh dude you're hammering them i love it

Yeah, hopefully he's not. There's like some Eminem Dido song right here, dude. Yeah, Stan. Stan, dude. Yeah. Superheroes to Stoke. I just want to reach out and show my appreciation for your promotion of April being Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. After last week's pod, I was so fired up that I ended up giving myself a testicular exam and found a weird mass that wasn't normal.

My stoke took a turn southwards. Oh, yeah. But I ended up going to my doctor, and it turns out it's normal mass and not cancer. After the exam, we even had a great bonding session after about testicular anatomy and mountain biking now stoke levels are at an all-time high and my doc and I are homies oh that's awesome because I was able to detect something potentially dangerous ASAP and if it was cancer I could have saved my life by the pod so thank you all to all you stokers check your nuts once a month thanks baker is he trying to brag that he has big balls

or what yeah i don't think so p.s my fiance and i've been q-teamed together for four weeks now and things have really quieted down romantically do you bros have any wrecks to rekindle the spark interesting my gf and i have been uh doing uh exercises together dude like we'll do some yoga we'll hop into some um you know just lightweight calisthenic stuff body weight stuff and um you know once you transition that banging i mean you know you know sometimes yes sometimes no you know i mean sometimes i'm just saying it's uh it's a nice like christopher walking there yeah you know what are you gonna do you know sometimes yes sometimes no.

You're talking about using the wrong tone. You're going to do it again? I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron. Dude, I agree. When I used to work out with my ex-ex, it always got us fired up afterwards. I'd like slap her butt during the workout and be like, come on, babe, we got this. and you get to feel strong and she gets to feel strong and then you both like look at the other one you're like oh man you're a determined hard-working person let's let's yeah i respect that energy we'll make a nice actually dude i love that make a healthy meal together and

you're not that couple at the gym dude because when you're that couple at the gym dude a little bit distracting a little bit like come on we're in the gym but now you're at home you're that couple at the gym, dude, a little bit distracting, a little bit like, come on, we're in the gym. But now you're at home. You're in the sanctity of your own abode. So anything flies. You know what I mean? Yeah, dude. I agree.

So this is the time to get creative, dude. I mean, you have so much spare time right now, and you're isolated. You're in the Q team. So you could get creative with what you do. so much spare time right now and you're isolated, you're in the Q team. So, you know, you could get creative with what you do. You could have like a, you know,

create like an Italian night and just deck out the place and like vines and shit. And, you know, just make some spaghetti and have like a lady in the tramp moment, you know, just get creative with your meals and like, pretend like you're in Italy in one moment and then pretend like you're in, you know, Brazil and the other, and then translate that to the bedroom you know however they are

sexually I like that that makes sense I like that there's there's role playing because you're essentially creating a new person then right who's still in essence the person you love but but there's enough of like a difference there where it sparks some, some new feelings. Yeah. Like have, have like a Hawaii night, have like a beach night, throw on some florals, you know, she can wear like a bikini and then you just make mahi mahi or whatever, or whatever you can get from your grocery store.

I know that's tough right now, but you know, maybe just get some like tapia tilapia. Yeah. It's pretense maends mahi-mahi. Dude, and maybe play hide-and-go-seek. I don't know how big that one is, but even small, it's fun because then you have to get extra creative. I don't know if that leads to boning, but it's just fun. I was going to say with your nuts too, props to this guy for checking them.

You know, your nuts, you never really think about having an issue with them. And like I've had two issues with my nuts. And like when I was a kid and I was in like third grade, I had a testicular torsion, which is where it's like it could have died. Twisted up. Yeah, my nut was swelling up and I was too afraid to ask my mom, like, hey, can I go to the doctor? Like, can I check, can you check this out?

Because like, it was my nut. So, you know, guys out there, don't be afraid to, you know, if there's something, check your nuts first off. And if there's something a little off about your nuts, don't be afraid to hit up the doctor or your mom or dad and say, you know, there's something a little off about your nuts don't be afraid to hit up the doctor or your mom or dad and say you know there's something going on down there because they care about the sanctity of your balls for sure yeah dude that's a fire psa bro good quality don't be nuts talk about your nuts nice do you remember tom green remember he was he had like uh yeah he did a whole like episode about

didn't he like show the surgery on his show? Yeah. Whatever happened to Andy Milonakis? Remember Andy Milonakis dude? Yeah. I don't know. I used to see him wandering around Sunset a little bit.

Really? Yeah. Trying to film something. yeah oh yeah at least it's better yeah i was feeling like in front of saddle ramps i mean well you're saying like wandering i was like oh man i picture him like with you know brown bag in it and like you know yeah on an e-scooter but at least he's trying to be productive that's good phil hartman said his favorite thing was just to walk down sunset and just smoke a joint by himself. Nice, dude. Phil Hartman's the man.

That sounds nice. His famous film noir character is gold, dude. Oh, it's so – dude, his SNL audition. Him and – Oh, dude. Belushi's and him and Dana Carvey's. They're just so good. It's unreal.

Yeah, I should watch those. I've never seen them. You should. Yeah, Phil Hartman's energy is how everybody who wants to act and him and Dana Carvey's. They're just so good. I've never seen those. Phil Hartman's energy is how everybody who wants to act imagines they can be that cool in the audition room. He's just like, I'm going to do this. He's like, I do voices. Go ahead. Just give me something. Someone does it. He nails it. His buddy hops up during it.

Frickin' Lovitz gets up and they do something real quick. He's like, I'll pick this up. No big deal. Drills it. Dude, it's unbelievable. It's crazy. Yeah. Message you today with a question of my most recent situation. COVID has totally cock blocked me and my awesome GF.

We've been stoked about each other for almost a year now, but we were out of state college relationship. Now we're across the country, just reaching out to get some opinions on what to keep the stoke fire blazing over this quarantine time. what to keep the stoke fire blazing over this quarantine time. To the phone sex. Yeah, I think Joe's right. Yeah, I've been away from IGF.

Just tell her, be like, hey, reach down there and tell me how big it is. Like Heather and I in American Pie 2. Is that what you sound like? Is that what you say when you have phone sex? Yeah, I mean, I don't really have phone sex. I just

have sex and human to human. The old fashioned way. Yeah, I mean, in person. You're a beast. I think he has dabbled in phone sex.

It's really fun. I think it's, you know, I mean, I had a webcam porn addiction, so it's like maybe my brain is specifically suited for it, but I think it can feel just as alive as the real thing sometimes. You just have to not judge yourself. Just whatever crazy thing you're saying just say it and then if you and you just have to be perceptive to how the other person responds to it but uh you know it's easy you just i think you say something you push the envelope a little bit like

yeah like okay i'm gonna pull out my fat cock and then and then you just and then if you get like a moment of silence you just go you just change your voice you're like hey is that okay and then you don't actually ever accidentally jizz on the phone and you get like a moment of silence, you just go, you just change your voice. You're like, hey, is that okay? And then you never actually ever accidentally jizz on the phone and you're like, oh, man. No, I've never premature doing a phone session. That would be very much me to do that. I kind of have the problem the other way where I'm like, I can't finish. It's the end of the month, bro, and your minutes are going to run out.

It's disappointing for the other person. Yeah. Yeah, but it can be really fun. Yeah, I think give it a shot. And then also you can just do sweet things for each other, write her a song. Bro, you know what I was going to say? I was going to say write her a handwritten letter.

Handwrite that, dude. Yeah. Fountain tip pen if you have one, but a ballpoint's gonna do just fine write it dude maybe even do a little bit of chad was saying role play pretend you're like in the revolutionary war or something like that dude you're like i'm away serving my country and you are serving your country by staying home and then we're right serving those people around me right now i'm on my duty but i miss you so much and i can't wait to be back and then you virtually get back and then eventually physically you'll get back and it's gonna be nice dude yeah i think i think all this time apart is actually kind of good because it's

like building up all this excitement for when we can see each other you know what i mean it's like a good techno song dude like pro now you know it's just like oh yeah wait for that beat to come dude just that beat to drop dude we're just earning it right now yeah dude yeah i've been away from igf for a month now but you know i sort of uh i take solace in the fact that the the separation is building up it's stoking the flame yeah you know so then when when they're reuniting happens i can't speak when they read when the reunion happens it's going to be like a firework show at disneyland even though it's closed right now but you guys are going to dissolve into each other and explode like fireworks yeah oh far yeah and all your particles are going to get mixed up together, and you're going to be indistinguishable from one another.

It's going to be that part when Tinkerbell flies from the miter horn, and it's just like everything's going off. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You're just going to spiral upwards in this beautiful dust cloud of love particles. Straight up mortars of sexual energy. Yes. Dude, I love that.

Blasting over the Los Angeles sky, illuminating our lives. Yeah. We're going to light up Culver City. That's going to be awesome. Oh, Aaron, you're going to die. Very true. Perfect rendition dude the grand finale right there dude all right this is this is one that i think a lot of people are feeling right now hey chad and jt and company i've been sort of wrestling with losing my senior year of high school i missed the squad everyone is in quarantine we didn't get to go on senior sb stoke and bronze is at an all

time low how do we recover from this and make the end of our high school experience something that Everyone is in quarantine. We didn't get to go on senior SB. Stoke and Bronze is at an all-time low. How do we recover from this and make the end of our high school experience something that doesn't feel like a waste? Sincerely, the A1 squad. P.S. Everyone is going away to different dank school next years. I just want to dap up the homies so bad. Yeah, that's sad. I would be pissed if I was a senior in high school right now.

This sucks. You're missing out on prom and graduation and all that stuff. I think Joe's right. You got to feel anger towards it. It's like the five stages of grief, right? You got denial, negotiation, anger, and then acceptance. Is it four stages or something? It's five. And then horny. Yeah, and then acceptance is that is it four stages or something five and horny yeah and then horny and then but so yeah you got to go through that and you're right to be upset

you know it's it's a rite of passage it was zoom prom yeah and it's been changed but but then i think we got to get creative right like how can we make because because i think in some ways it's kind of good because everyone will always remember that this happened and you'll be like oh i was part of the class that graduated during quarantine you know what i mean and we lost out on all that stuff and then it kind of can provide an opportunity for you to come up with like you know a code out of that story where you're like so what we did is is we we all got together i don't know it rented a limo dude you just gotta rent a limo dude down the road from now just cruise someone with your crew you know what i mean but how are they are they gonna be in the

limo together after quarantine i mean postponed style you know i think we'll get postponed i mean it's a bummer that it's not happening in real time but i think it'll still happen actually maybe not if it's all through summer fuck man yeah i guess i'm just trying to hold out hope that it can still happen for these kids yeah he's renting a limos tight i i think they're gonna be the kids who are like seniors in high school at this time they're're going to be like the quarantine class. And it's like, oh, everyone knows the quarantine class because they live life to the fullest because they missed out a senior in high school.

So those guys. Yeah, it's a shame. I mean, the night of my senior prom, I banged in the backseat of my mom's Ford Expedition. And none of these kids are going to get to do that. Well, dude, I mean, yeah, that's true. Yeah, it's true.

You can have phone sex in the back of your mom's car. That's awesome, by the way. Maybe use the speakerphone and get some surround sound going if your mom's got a nice car. Joe, that's awesome about that Ford Expedition, by the way. I'm surprised you're hogging it. Yeah, it's a really nice car leather seat

i think it was an explorer right huh for your explorer might not have worked that poor woman hasn't been satisfied since she started off at the top of mount everest so now she's climbing you know tetons and mount whitney and none of them feel as special. True. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, dude. That's hilarious. It's crazy that you got a cougar to go to prom with you. I'm just imagining this was a cougar that you were with. I wish.

No, she was also a senior. Got it. But yeah, any guy that can bring an older woman to prom, that's pretty awesome. What's the Emile Hirsch movie? Girl Next Door. Good movie, dude.

Alicia, really solid. Yeah, legit. She's great. Good soundtrack. Dude, what's his name? Dave. What's that guy? David Gray. David Gray. That's a pretty song. Well, so use that song, whatever girl you were going to ask to prompt, still ask her and then just do a zoom prom with just you two and play that song. This year's love.

And then give her a, give her a digital kiss at the end of the night. That's a great call that song. Or if I may, you know, I don't want to hop in and DJ here, but the other song that I know you love, Ariel pink and the haunter graffiti, that one. Ooh, baby. Oh yeah. No, that's somebody else. Ariel pink and the haunter graffiti, right? I think it's somebody else. Ariel Pink and the Haunted Graffiti, right? I think it's the Osmond Brothers or something.

Oh, it's originally the Osmond Brothers, and then she does a remake. Yeah, the Osmond Brothers wrote it. Okay, yeah. Yeah, you're right. That's true. Ooh, baby. Yeah, that's from Celeste and Jesse. Is that the name of that movie?

It's also from – what's the one with Miles Teller? Spectacular Now? Yeah, that's how I found out about it nice dude all right well yeah dude so i don't know how you get your bros involved but maybe you guys could all resume pretend you're at like benihana together before the dance yes dude yeah and then you guys can do a uh a fake limo ride somehow over zoom and then you guys can do a fake limo ride somehow over Zoom and then do a fake dance, and then you can partner off with your respective dates. And then from there, it's up to however things pan out. Private Zoom.

Dude, get some in-and-out door dash to your house if you can. Oh, that'd be nice. That's nice. JT, that's a good call, dude. You could do it virtually, dude. You could. Yeah, I wish there was something more, you know, tactile we could offer. But I think we'll keep thinking on it.

We can revisit. All right, what's up, dudes? I'm studying computer science in college right now. And the whole reason I got into it was because I love creating things. I like to believe that the only limit to what's possible in this field is once imagination however my classes lately have not been giving me any opportunity to be creative and it's really leaking my stoke tanks how do i inject more creative activities in my daily life to give my creative muscle the juicy pump they deserve and the stimulus they need to grow i like

this guy's attitude yeah i love it yeah Yeah, it sounds like something you would say. I lost everybody. Come on back. A little bit. He wants to be more creative, but his classes in computer science aren't making him feel more creative. So he wants to know how he can inject his field with more creativity. Yeah, just to keep his brain activated and keep him feeling good because he likes it within computer science i think so yeah

um i don't know dude i would watch the social network and just you know look at the way even though mark zuckerberg is kind of a knob uh just look at the way they they sort of uh had their own fun with their computer skills you know they're like oh i know these things so i'm going to create this social network whatever uh maybe sort of look at you know read about the tech guys and think about how they use their creativities to sort of think outside the box. Then apply that to your own work. So I think that's ultimately what you want to do. You want to create something that no one's ever thought of before, you know,

introduce something entirely new to the marketplace and maybe just devote yourself to that pursuit. That sounds bad-ass. And have it in your dome. So when you set your mind, you know, it's like, I want to create this new computer, you know, software, whatever. Your subconscious will be working on that. And then one day, the idea is just going to pop in.

And then you go to work. Zoom prom. Yep. Amen. Dude, you know what what figure out a way to do prom sorry like every artist you got to learn the rules before you break them i mean i don't know how long this guy said he was in this program for but it's like baby you don't just come out playing jazz you got to learn you got to get trained and then you can start hitting notes you want to be hitting with a good crew and you're vibing. So maybe the creativity will come. Maybe you're, and maybe you've got a, you know, a very active mind and you're a smart dude and it's a little slow for

you. But I don't know. I don't know where he is in the basics, but sometimes, you know, he'd probably feel ahead of it, but master those fundamentals, dude, you know, become Tim Duncan before you can become, you can become my dog Kobe did. I think introduce some weirdness into your life too. You seem like you're a really smart guy, so I'm sure it's easy to get a lot of validation and a lot of fun out of the things you're good at.

But maybe try some clubs and stuff that are at the edge of your interests. You know what I mean? Like do, uh, do like a clothing design class, you know, do something weird. And maybe that'll create new vocabulary for you and know new lessons and new ways of thinking about things that'll actually apply to, um, to computer science. I'm thinking about range that book we read by david epstein and like it's weird how like the more outside the box subjects you can invest yourself in the more you'll get ideas for the things you really care about like maybe read like i'm the next book i'm gonna read is demi moore's memoir you know it's like oh you know i don't know what's what that's going to be about but it'll be interesting to see the world through Demi Moore's eyes.

You're just going to read that so you have something to talk to chicks about. Yeah, that's part of it. But also, I think it's like I'm a guy, and it'll be nice to – No, but that is a good conversation. Hey, I just read Demi Moore's biography. I think a lot of women would be into that. And if I walk a mile into her shoes, I'll better understand

Demi Moore and what it feels like to be an A-list actress who is... It'd be fun to read about the... And I'll be more versatile after that. I'm excited for the chapter on striptease. Yeah, that'll be compelling. That's going to be exciting, yeah. I'm curious what her thoughts are on that.

I think she was the highest paid actress for that movie at the time, like in history. Dude, G.I. Jane. Dude, such a good movie. Great movie. I've never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A bird will drop frozen and dead off a wire bow without ever uttering a word of complaint.

Something like that and exactly dude but i think the best of them all charlie's angels 2 full throttle yeah go ahead her desert eagles yep so good dude justin thoreau's abs in that movie and he said all he did oh yeah he said all he did was do an ab roller. I'm like, get the fuck out of here, Justin Theroux. Those ab rollers work, but they don't work that well. Did you watch that movie and you're like, that dude wrote Tropic Thunder?

I think abs are made in the kitchen too. He probably was on a good diet. Yeah, true, true. That's a fire. That could be a quote of the week, dude. Abs are made in the kitchen, dude. I think that's an arnold saying by the way who's been have you guys been watching his instagram yep yeah it's a it's incredible yeah he's crushing it every post yeah he's like every every year twice a year i clean my boots it's just him like brushing his cowboy boots

here i'm at home smoking a little stogie having a jacuzzi and you know social distancing dude arnold's the best dude yeah he's like he's on message in the weirdest way as possible it's pretty cool yeah like every time you look at him you're like you're shocked at the things that are happening in the frame yeah little two little horses that are at least feeding yeah that's unbelievable yeah yeah it's just impossible to predict but it makes perfect sense somehow for him yeah he's the best dude all right last question what up legends you guys are the best have helped me through the darkest time in my life and i trust that you'll be able to help me with my dilemma. I'm in college in my third year,

stuck at home for the rest of the semester and summer. My only show at home is that I like to sit down when I pee, and I get a little dribble down my pants every time. At school, I share a bathroom with a bunch of other bros, so I try not to sit unless my method acting as the Enola Gay, about to drop a nuke. What is that? It's the reference to the A-bomb, atomic bomb,

and I don't know if that was Nagasaki or Hiroshima. Maybe both. I'm not sure which plane. That was Hiroshima, yeah. Hiroshima? You guys are legends. I have two questions. Do either of you guys or Strider sit to pee?

Or I would ask Joe, but I already know his hogs submerge in the water every time he sits. My second question is, how do I get over the leakage? I try to push it all out, but I end up looking like I splooged every time. Thanks, boys. I love you both again.

Yeah, dude, I'll sit while I pee. I mean, it's, you know, me and my Jeff have a one bedroom. I came up with this fire idea. I was like, dude, I can, you know, not, you know, maybe wake her up if she's sleeping, dude. She's taking meetings and stuff all the time. So I just thought it was a nice, considerate thing. And honestly, dude, it's also in the nighttime I can do it with the lights off

and not worry about splashing or anything. I mean, dude, I wouldn't get caught up in your own dome about or I was judging you while you're peeing. I mean, and maybe they'll laugh about it for a second. Honestly, I would get more worried about the hygiene of it since you said it's a frat house. And I'm sure those guys aren't lifting the seat. But do you, dog?

Don't let anyone judge you the way that you do. Yeah, if you're laying on with a bunch of dudes, I would seat as little as possible, though. Yeah, that's my only concern in the frat house, but outside of that. I would be like, I think you just got to own it. You got to be like, bros, I sit to pee. And then if they start making fun of you about it, just wear it and be like, yeah, I'm the guy who sits down to pee.

And then when you go hit a club the guy who rips it up on the dance floor and you know does the worm and then you know and then you get up in one of their faces gently like and i'm also the guy who sits down to pee and i just nailed that worm at this club and then it's like you're not going to be defined by if you if you're afraid of it it has more potential to define you than if you just own it. And then it's just another component. Yeah, dude. This guy, he sounds like a trendsetter to me.

I mean, he's going to be the guy who starts to sit down when he pee movement wherever he's going to school. Pretty soon, 75% of the dudes that are going to be doing that because you started it. I want to sit down and pee now. Yeah, they'll be copyc you started it. I want to sit down and copy cats. Yeah. I want to sit down to pee now because of this guy. I might never stand to pee again. Yeah. Oh,

I'm going to try it right after this. I'm going to sit on top of one. I said, we're both going to sit down to pee in the same bowl at the same time. Yup. Yup. I'm going to get completely naked. Terminator one style.

Put my arm up like this on the toilet, gargoyle the toilet and pee into it like that. Yep. I'm going to get completely naked. Terminator one style, put my arm up like this on the toilet, gargoyle the toilet and pee into it like that, dude. Do you remember, do you remember our, our Jack buddy used to get naked and then do the Terminator coming out of the time travel thing? It was unreal. He looked so jacked and looked so good doing it, dude. It was like every time it would get me, I'd be like, that is, I honestly thought he just came from the future dude i was like i didn't even know he was here right now or awake

fucking so so at this dude that's so badass all right dude this is a really good question so let's let's do one more real quick what up two pieces of advice one two pieces of advice for the don't forget to jiggle when you're done and switch to darker pants. Smart. Aaron. Throwing strikes. Joe, do you need a booster seat when you drop a deuce? Yeah.

No, I just like my balls in the water a little bit. Did you guys just see me waving at my mom to get out of the room? No. She comes in and she's like, do you want a cookie? I'm like, get the, I'm broadcasting. This is essential business as deemed by the government, please.

That's hilarious. What up, council? I come to you legends with a question we hear about a lot in the pod. I always thought it could never happen to me until it did. Basically, I've been talking with this sweet lady ever since quarantine started. Lengthy text convos would turn into three-hour FaceTime calls. The best. We've been talking for so long, and I really like this girl. She's funny, smart, sweet, artistic, beautiful. The list goes on. Very recently, we had our first real-life date where we parked our cars in front of a pond and just talked through

our windows at a reasonable distance. She laughs at my jokes and tells me I'm cute. We were both very open about how much we like each other. Dude, this guy's the man. But here's the problem. This is in bold. She keeps talking about her friend Jack. Now, I am normally not the jealous type. At first, this guy Jack sounded cool. If he's anything like this girl, I'm sure we could become fast friends. But my beef with Jack has recently escalated. First off, Jack is 100% straight, confirming any paranoia I may have had about him. This girl tells me about times he slept over her house and often begins anecdotes with the words, that's just like the one time I was with my friend Jack. The real kicker here, dudes, is that she has got into the habit of saying, I don't remember if you or Jack told me this,

and then share another short story about Jack. Am I in my head here? Seeing those I tried to kiss my best friend TikToks makes me think this guy. Shoot, I lost JT. Do you guys hear him? Aaron? J Audio's back, yeah. Okay, you got me?

Yeah. Am I in my head here? Seeing those I tried to kiss my best friend TikToks made me think this guy's going to try and pull a move on her. And I think deep down I'd be okay if they ended up together it's such a storybook romance and at the end of the day i just want her to be happy all that being said it'd be really cool if she talked about me the way she talks about jack in due time hopefully should i tell her that it bothers me or respectfully keep my mouth shut thank you and stay safe and healthy uh dude i would uh are they there are they in a relationship no no they're like a budding relationship yeah i would i would wait till Dude, I would... Are they in a relationship?

No, no, they're like a budding relationship. They're courting each other. Yeah. I would wait till you're in a relationship till you say anything about that because you don't want to... You know, if you... Yeah, I mean... It's too early to let it...

Yeah, until you're like fully exclusive and you're like in a relationship and she's still doing it, then say something. But at this point, you know, you're like fully exclusive and you're like in a relationship and she's still doing it, then say something. But at this point, you know, you're in the courting phase. Just be cool. You know, keep doing what you're doing. Have those romantic talks.

Drive up to ponds and other bodies of water and, you know, just keep doing that and just stay strong. But I totally get where he's coming from with the jealous. It's tough. His, his, his fears are totally valid, but if he speaks on them now, it'll only throw her off and kind of undermine whatever potential they have

together. So I think you just have to act like nothing in the world bothers you. Cause you're so cool and confident. And then once you guys have said, I love you to each other and you're like firmly entrenched as a couple, then you go, babe, I know it sounds ridiculous, but when we started off, I was crazy jealous about Jack. And she's like, you were jealous of Jack. And you're like, I know it was nuts.

Right. But you can't ever reveal that until you guys are like, until you're certain that you guys are solid and that she's, she's with you. Yeah. Yeah. That's great advice. And you know what? I got to beat Jack. You got to beat Jack's ass. And the only way to beat Jack's ass is to not mention Jack ever. and that she's she's with you yeah yeah that's great advice and you know what i gotta beat jack

you gotta beat jack's ass and the only way to beat jack's ass is to not mention jack ever that's what i'm talking about jack doesn't exist because right now my dog i was worried listening to this you sounded like you know obviously we love we love this girl you're talking about but there's some girls and guys correct me if i'm wrong they've got this like beta male orbit going around them there's like three or four dudes that are just orbiting the planet just while like while the dude everyone's concerned about another jack and then there's a steve and then he's probably one of the dudes that jack's concerned about and so you're like there's this orbit going around this planet of

hotness right here and it's like dude you can't be one of these beta male orbiters you got to be the alpha you got to be your own planet and you guys got to collide worlds and make it happen. And how do you do it? You fucking start. You start saying more direct stuff, not derogatory, but direct stuff like, I love the way you look. You look terrific. You're beautiful, man.

I want to date you. Just come out and say, I would like to date you. Not a girl like you, you, because guess what? And Jack, you never even talk about Jack. Who the fuck is Jack? I don't know, Jack. And then I'm just getting fired up. I'm like, dude, don't be one of these orbiting dudes. You got to get in there. You got to get in the kitchen. You've had some real, you know, cute pond dates. That's amazing. But yeah, baby, let her know. I dated a really sweet girl who had blown three of her friends at the same time and was still friends with all those guys. And when she told me the story, you know what I said?

Hey, that's cool. And I acted like it never bothered me. I just lived my fucking life. And guess what? They were never a problem. They were nice guys jt that's the dude literally i don't know if it's a zoom feature but when you said that dude like a cigarette showed up in your mouth right there it looks so fucking cool

you're saying that dude like i don't know if it was tech i don't know if aaron did that dude or digitized it dude but it was cool dude i mean and a cowboy hat dude this guy who wrote the email is cool you can tell he's cool he sees the's cool. He sees the whole chessboard. He sees the whole chessboard. He knows what he's got to do. He gets it. I've got a lot in common with this guy. Yeah. All right.

Should we get it? Chad, do we have another ad read before we get into our beefs, babes, and legends? Yeah, I'll fire it off. I'm going to go get one of those cookies my mom's offering. I'm going to use the restroom real quick while you do it. Yeah, dude. I was like, you got to get that cookie. I wish I could share them over Zoom, dude.

All right. I should mention that I'm at work right now. I'm sorry, Aaron. Aaron, I'm sorry. Sexual harassment. I didn't even think about it. My bad, dude. I'm sorry. You don't deserve that. I should have asked you before I did. Sorry, dude. Oh, dude, you're all right. Aaron, I'm sorry. Sexual harassment. I didn't even think about it. My bad, dude. I'm sorry. You don't deserve that. I should have asked you before I did that.

Yeah. Sorry, dude. Chad, who is your beef of the week? My beef of the week is with the arch of my right foot. I've been running outside, you know, trying to get my workout in, trying to, you know, go for walks. I've been doing some sprints here and there. And, you know, now my feet have taken a beating and I can barely, like, I can't, I, I have to

take, you know, days off because my, the right side of my foot is killing me, the arch. And, uh, it's annoying because I can't go to the gym and just like hit like a, you know, an assault bike or something. Like, like i like i can't jump rope because it hurts to jump so you know my foot's really you know crap it out on me at the wrong time so uh yeah my people's with my foot i've been doing some yoga with adrian um just trying to try to get that flexibility out trying to give my body the care it needs. But right now I just want to say a big fuck you to my foot. I'll take some Tylenol and it'll be all good. But for right now, suck it.

For sure. Legend. Strider, what's your beef of the week? Dude, my beef of the week is – this just came in yesterday. And it's lovely, but I still have a beef with it and it's one of my most adult beefs of all time uh dude a freaking bird uh is nesting in my uh air conditioning unit and me and my gfs bedroom like we have a window mounted unit you know and so the bird is building a nest in there dude and it's metal so like i can hear it's little like tiny talons in there dude and look dude

that's lovely that's nature dude it's creating a family dude it's spring bro but honestly dude you know what it is dude and this is a very adult phrase i'm about to use dude it's a nuisance dude it's a nuisance yeah the freaking nuisance dude so i'm like i'm thinking in my dome i'm like who do i call animal control i'm calling animal control dude that's something i've never done before in my life i'm calling animal control i'm like dude what do i got to do here you know it's lovely and i'm having dark thoughts i'm thinking about just you know you remember that book the ringer they made us read in school where the kids gotta like go and like ring pigeons necks pretty brutal i'm like dude i'm thinking about that dude i don't want to kill these little birds i want them You remember that book, The Ringer, they made us read in school where the kids got to go and ring pigeons' necks? Pretty brutal.

I'm like, dude, I'm thinking about that, dude. I don't want to kill these little birds. I want them to live and be happy, but I want them to live in a park, dude. Not in my AC unit, dude. If you could talk directly to those birds, what would you say? Oh, dude, I'd be like this, dude. I'd be like, look, dude, you little groms, dude. First of all, it's not a derogatory term. That's a fired-up term. That just means you're little, dude. And I'd be like look dude you little groms dude i've written first of all it's not a

derogatory term that's a fired up term that's just means you're little dude and i'd be like look i love you guys i love that you got a family dude you got some little chicks going right there dude you got your gf and you guys got eggs but you're building your home on my home dude unless yeah that's what i'm saying joe unless you can you know bring in the cheddar dude or the acorns or whatever you're munching on you gotta take a hike and honestly let me do you a favor head over to pan pacific park it's beautiful you can watch people play basketball they closed it down so no they just closed it for easter oh really yeah it's open okay people hopefully shouldn't be out there too much though yeah it's open. Oh, okay. People hopefully shouldn't be out there too much, though.

Yeah, it's getting out of hand because people are bringing their dogs and they're taking them off the leash. They're, like, making it a freaking dog park. Oh, because they know no one's out there to be vigilant. Joe, have you thought about saying anything to anyone? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I was doing my sprints the other day and this dog's like chasing me like the freaking beast in the sandlot or some shit. What are your sprints coming in at? Like 4.4?

4.5? Yeah. Yeah, very fast. That's awesome. Aaron, do you have anything for the week? Yeah, you're aerodynamic. You're aerodynamic. Aaron, do you have a beef of the week? Yeah, you're aerodynamic. Yeah, I am. You're aerodynamic. Aaron, do you have a beef? Well, kind of going along with what Joe was just talking about,

people who do not microchip their dogs. Yeah. So a stray dog, well, a lost dog showed up at my door on Wednesday, and we took it around the block to see who you know someone's coming out looking for it it had a harness on but no collar and we're like well maybe it's microchipped and then we can figure out who owns it and we took it to a place uh to a animal hospital no chip no nothing so we just had to hang on to this dog. And it could have been really bad, luckily, because I posted on a bunch of stuff like next door in the ring. Luckily, we did find the owner the next day, but it could have been,

you know, we could have had this dog for like 30 days. And then you decide whether you keep it or because shelters aren't taking dogs right now. Could have been really bad, but luckily it worked out. But had this dog been microchipped, it would have been an hour, two hours. Yeah. It was stressful, you know, because I already have a dog and this dog was huge.

This is a big old pit bull. Dog great dane style pit bull yeah yeah dude my beef of the week is with lag on call of duty it just um when you're playing call of duty you're so happy and then when you get lag you just want to persevere through it and hope that it will get better but it doesn't get better it maintains for the remainder of the match then you start to your skills too because you're like hey i'm headshotting guys who i got dead to rights and you start to think maybe it's you know an issue with your trigger pulling and your and your your hand eye coordination but it's not it's just. And I don't understand it at all. I think all internet should work the same and be awesome. And it's just really disappointing when I want to just knock heads off and have a solid KDE ratio and it gets undermined because

of technology. Because I know my ability is more than what I'm showing. And people don't believe you when you complain about lag. It feels like a kind of an excuse that you're making, but it's real. And to all you people out there who have lag, who don't have great internet, I feel for you. We will rise one day together, and we will blow people's domes off and call duty with expert precision that we know we have, but we just haven't been able to display because of our mom's wi-fi that's very heartfelt and very very very true and very righteous beef

chad who's your babe of the week my babe of the week is dr sanjay gupta's constant look of concern nice dude yeah because i'm gonna be honest you know sometimes i feel like you know i look at the numbers of california and like you know it's been a while and sometimes i feel the pull like that pull of like you know i don't i don't need to wash my hands all the time like you know i don't need to anything that makes me less cautious and then then I turn on the news, and I see Sanjay Gupta looking so goddamn concerned. I'm like, no, no. This isn't about me. This is about other people.

So then I wash those hands. I put that face mask on, and I hunker down in my place. So I just want to give a shout out to Sanjay Gupta. Thank you for your constant concern. It reminds me of the seriousness of the situation and keeps me, you know, in check. So, yeah. Dude, that's a fire one.

to give up one thing uh oral sex or cheese, which one would you pick? Like, what is that? Which one would you pick? I don't know. I don't want to freaking answer that. Obviously not cheese. I'm not going to give up pizza. Are you crazy?

You can have your oral. Should I say that? Yeah. All right. Speak your truth. It your truth an intriguing question i'm pretty fired up by that question i agree with you i'd keep cheese i think i've never been a huge fan of of receiving oral sex i almost prefer giving it to receiving it but i like the idea of it you know of someone liking me so much that they do that. But the feeling of it is, is not quite what I thought it would be when I was a young person who had not received it yet,

but was desperate for it. Thought about it constantly. Yeah. Cheese. Cheese is really phenomenal. Cheese lives up to the billing every time. Yeah. Does it right.

And there's so many varieties. Cheddar. Pepper. Swiss. Yep. it right. And there's so many varieties. Cheddar. Pepper jack. Swiss. Yep. Brie. Brie. Larson.

That cuts through's nice yeah yeah sharp cheddar that cuts through the noise Joe who's your babe yeah my babe is uh John and Vinny's restaurant over here in the neighborhood um yeah during uh you know when things are regular it's very hard to get that food because you need to like make a reservation there like three months in advance. But during quarantine, they're doing obviously just takeout service. So called over there yesterday, got myself a great Easter dinner. Nice, dude. Yeah, because they're, you know, they need the business.

So it was great to support the local restaurant that has phenomenal Italian food. It was just a great meal. What did you get? I'd love to hear what you get. I had some chicken parmesan.

I had a pasta with a pomodoro sauce and then a container of meatballs that comes with garlic bread yeah their meatballs are world famous yeah they're so good

good order there it's a great spot and I'm glad to see it's alive and kicking in these difficult times yeah you know what that makes me want to switch my baby of the week. I think my baby of the week is to the, the entries and sectors that, that,

you know, are getting hammered during all of this, you know, like I heard the, the economist Tyler Cowen, who I really think is a smart thinker and good at prognosticating saying that he doesn't think the cruise business is going to bounce back. And that that just might be like a bygone kind of treat of our era that,

that won't really resuscitate. So, you know, to all you future earthlings who are listening to this podcast, cruise ships were incredible, dude. They were these large floating like monstrosities that had like pools and some of them had rock climbing gyms on and they had arcades and there was like there was like always other kids your age on it could never hook up with the chicks because they were hooking up with dudes like five years older than you so it was always kind of out of reach in this way that was very aspirational and then uh your parents would gamble because they're allowed to gamble on the high seas,

you know, international law. What is that called when you're out in the ocean and there's no law? Maritime law. Maritime. Yeah. Oh, right. Or international waters, rather.

I think that's the phrase. I'll tell you, you've been on a few cruises there. I've only been on one, the Costa Romantica, for the millennium. My parents... Which one is it? The Costa Romantica uh and for the millennium my parents uh which one is it the Costa Romantica it wasn't as fast as like Carnival or or Disney or or one of the Chad actually I see to his greater knowledge on cruises yeah that does it right it bums me out man I love cruises

you know and then you got guys like bill maher coming out it's like yeah obviously i'm like suck a dong bill maher sorry yeah but like no yeah dude i mean like you know yeah it's a floating p2 dish but you know what i put myself on that boat because i wanted to have fun and you know people know alaskan cruise always looked nice strider did that yeah i went on an alaskan cruise yeah after high school i went on an alaskan cruise always looked nice. Strider did that. Yeah, I went on an Alaskan cruise, yeah. After high school, I went on an Alaskan cruise. There was this kid on there who was too old to be naked the whole time, dude. He was like, I don't know how old it is.

Like, you're what, you're three? That's chill? This kid was 10, dude. He was 10, butt naked everywhere, dude. I think he just put a bow tie on for the formal dinner, dude. Butt naked the whole other way, dude. Dippendales did to dinner. everywhere, dude. I think he just put a bow tie on for the formal dinner, dude. Butt naked the whole other way. Dippendales did to dinner. Unbelievable, bro.

I remember just being on the cruise like, this is insane. Where's this kid's parents, dude? Yeah, dude. It's crazy to think if cruise shits are done, where do they go? Yeah, what do we do with those boats, dude? Dude, tell that tech guy that's pretty cool to think about dude there's tons of instagram pages that are like abandoned this abandoned yeah yeah i was thinking about that guy there's your tech thing right there bro

abandoned cruise ships just take edgy pictures of it do a little soundtrack with some apex twin or something yeah that'd be that's an interesting. What would they do with all the boats? There's this place in the Bay Area where it's just all old World War II ships. What? Dude, I gotta go there. They're all just docked right by San Francisco. Like the Queen Mary out of Long Beach. What was that?

Was that a World War II boat? Was that an old cruiser? Yeah, but it was commissioned during World War II. Oh, interesting. Hey, you know what? Actually, I think that was as good a time as ever, too. Chad, do you want to intro

Strider making an introduction for his big announcement on ATC? Oh, yeah. Strider, are you down with that? Yeah, let's do it. Jack Steiner, cut this as a clip and put this on the Going Deep page too. And we can put it on ATC as well.

Cause he's got a pretty deep historical knowledge as well. Yeah. It's going to be true. Yeah. You truly do. So it'll be a quite a luxury. It'll be a luxury to when I'm going down the wrong path on my research and Aaron's like, I actually do not do that.

That was a Hiroshima dude that you're talking about. But I'm going to need that dude. That's going to be awesome, man. So pumped to listen to it. I know I'm going to learn a lot and laugh a lot. Yeah. Sweet. So guys, yeah. Stay tuned for that and download history is dank coming to you in the next month or so. So yeah. Thank you, bros. Yeah. All right. Chad, who is your legend of the week?

Oh, I got a babe. I didn't. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm all over the map. My bad. No problem. So my babe of the week is, is that lost dog that we found whose name ended up being Odin,

which I didn't, I didn't think about. Good name. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't, we were trying to guess like a million names. I was throwing names out on left and right. Odin was not one of them, but he uh he's a big sweet guy oh wow dude yeah that's a big double yeah but just an absolute sweetheart thankfully i don't know if you can really see it's kind of it's kind of bright but uh yeah just a just a giant strong as all get out fast,

like, like blowing by Joe and the sprints. But, but sweet as can be like just a bit of a humper. Hudson was not taken too kindly to being humped, nor was I, when he tried, I had to wrestle him like a mma fighter but

uh i got him off me and and uh happy that he's back with his owner and they're just around the corner so we can go visit chad who's your legend of the week uh my legend of the week is steve martin uh as i mentioned early on i've been on steve martin marathon i took his master class and i've been crushing steve martin movies i watched the jerk bowfinger um uh planes trains and automobiles i'm going to dive into some more tonight you guys mentioned roxanne what was the other one la la story la stories dead man don't wear plaid yeah that's great yeah and stoker's check out his johnny carson appearances he was on there you know like 70 times or something but uh i mean they're all hilarious and he's just a beast i read his book born standing up uh probably like six years ago

he's always been an inspiration to me and well factoid this was a rumor when i was in like when i was like 13 but my mom almost went on a date with him whoa that's no way that fires me up but um yeah he's always been an inspiration to me uh just his like his childlike sensibility, his use of irony, all that kind of stuff. The character he adopted was always just – I liked his style of comedy because it was kind comedy. The joke was always on him. And I thought that was a really smart and fun way to approach it.

So, shouts to Steve Martin. You're a legend. Hope to meet you one day. Oh, and he's a beast at the banjo too. I think he's a Grammy winning musician. Can't say enough about the guy. I have a Steve Martin story that's quick. Do you want to hear it?

Yeah. I got to meet him valeting at the hotel which was freaking sick. And it was very brief, as most valet interactions are. It was like super busy. It was like during award season, Emmy season. And this car pulls up. And, you know, sometimes we got to get like, because it's so busy.

Like, I just kind of like kind of wave the car and the car's not moving. I'm like, yeah, waving, waving, waving. Finally, I got a little impatient. I go up there. I'm like, go up right to the window. I'm like can you uh and i literally looking at steve martin he's like oh yeah like super nice yeah i was like oh i just need you to um he's like i'm here to uh pick up lauren michaels and i'm like oh yeah uh that's amazing uh you know just and like i gave him like a super nice spot obviously yeah i was just like that was literally my entire interaction but he was very pleasant even when i approached him with

unpleasant energy yeah i was like dude imagine being a fly in that car just being able to ride in the backseat amazing like i was watching that snl uh like they did a big i don't forget what it's called but uh like something might even just be called like i don't remember what's called but anyway lauren michaels has been interviewed in it and he's like uh and then steve came in with a sketch idea and of course he was already better than us all at it immediately and like just talking about how you like was this old pro you know even while they're all beginning beast yeah he um he's incredible the jerk was i i saw that as a kid i i didn't i mean i thought it was funny then but i didn't i don't think i really understood all the jokes so re-watching it it was i i saw that as a kid i i didn't i mean i thought it was funny then but i didn't i don't

think i really understood all the jokes so re-watching it it was just i mean that movie holds up and uh yeah stokers if you're ever feeling down in the q-team watch steve martin johnny carson appearances it'll fire you up it'll just brighten your day he's the man joe who's your uh legend of the week uh legend of the week is uh the peloton company um during this uh quarantine um you know i i usually would go to a cycle house but i haven't been able to do that but they've uh the workouts on there have been just kicking my ass, and they're incredible. They're good? Yeah. That's awesome.

Yeah, the instructors are tough. They're not messing around. They're kicking it. Yeah, I mean, when I'm done, my shirt is completely soaked. It's incredible. I'd love to see that. When I'm done, my shirt is completely soaked. It's incredible. Usually I would go hiking and stuff and running outside, but I don't really want to do that these days, but the Peloton is really coming through for me,

so it's great to have it. Nice. Thank you for getting it. To be a Peloton instructor, do you also have to be a DJ, or is that just optional? And they play their original tracks. Zing, dude. No, they're great.

They're great. They're the best. They bring energy and stuff. Yeah, they're cool. And some of them are hot. Strider, who's your legend of the week? Dude, my legend of the week is also a product. Dude, look at us, the endorsements over here.

My new ring doorbell, dude. a ring nice nice because like i mentioned last time my psycho neighbor ignacio dude he thinks i'm trying to drill into his walls which is very alarming to me dude um now dude that's so crazy he's obviously on meth he's doing drugs that's meth paranoia it do 100 so i got a ring doorbell with the cam just for extra peace of mind but also it's boosted stoke around the house because you know when i'll go out to check the mail or you know if my gf goes out to check the mail or like take her you know her safe walk around the our block um we'll just do i'll look back at the cam because i know it records we get the motion on our app. I'll just give a little one of these. Nice little smooch dude right there. You'll see it, dude.

Just boosting each other's stoke with the new medium. That's it. That's epic. Aaron, who's your legend? My legend of the week is Michael Shannon, the actor oh yeah the greatest he is i think i watched mud uh for the first time dude man conahan movie uh and he's just a small part

in it because i guess he was filming um man of steel at the time where he's playing General Zod. But he's just the funniest dude. If you just look at his delivery of lines, it's incredible. I've got the quotes up here because I think one of them might be my quote, but I think he's just saying, like, I'm your uncle, but I'm kind of a parent or something like that. I don't know if that's it. Oh, yeah. It's vaguely ringing a bell.

But, yeah, I remember him being hilarious in that. Yeah. I mean, he can go from hilarious and quirky to, like, menacing. You know, like, he does kind of both in the shape of water. Have you guys seen Elvis and Nixon? No. He plays Elvis against

I think Kevin Spacey plays Nixon, which is wrong for all sorts of reasons, but he's so funny as Elvis. he's the funniest person to ever play Elvis it's ridiculous it's just awesome dude yeah Shannon's a beast what's that Tom Ford movie that he's in uh a simple man no uh no American or uh what was that nocturnal animals yeah he's great in that dude yeah guy's got a face like oak Yeah. He's great in that, dude. Yeah. Guy's got a face like oak, dude. Yeah, he's great in everything.

He's great. If you hear him on podcasts, he's so dry and so funny. He just thinks acting is ridiculous and he doesn't care. Like he just doesn't care. He lives in New York. He's like, fuck LA. I don't care about anything. But he's so good at it.

He's so good at it. He's so good at it. I watched this thing on YouTube about Ryan Johnson was breaking down a scene from Knives Out, and he said Michael Shannon was by far the funniest guy on set. I mean, I think he said something like he didn't even see it coming, but it just, like, completely took him by surprise. Yeah, me too. I mean, that's how I feel about, about like the little part he had in Mudd.

It's just like he's so funny. The way he delivers lines. You know what movie he's in? Groundhog Day. Yep. Oh, yeah. There's a young kid in that. Yeah.

He gets WrestleMania tickets. Exactly. That's awesome. And he's got a good little switcheroo in that scene where he's like stoked on it. And then his girlfriend says something. He's like, so he's doing comedy from the,

from the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. My, my legend of the week is Pacey from Dawson's Creek played by Joshua Jackson, a slacker with a good heart who wins the lady at the end of the day and fulfills his potential.

And then also can throw down. He has a couple of fight scenes in it that have pretty solid choreography where he just puts the other guy down and then the thing i love about dawson's creek i think it really inspired me to try and talk fancy and like speak in in a snappy wb style dialogue because like like they're they're like 16 year old kids but they're all beautiful and they just talk so elegantly. Joey, played by Katie Holmes, would be like, Pacey, how dare you fill people with religious inspiration who are bereft of any kind of spiritual capacity? And you're like, oh yeah, just how 16-year-olds talk. And then Pacey, who's like the slacker, would be like, I'm sorry, Joey, my quest to fulfill my endless parade of mistakes

with something worthy of joy and beauty happened to cascade against your family. You're like, yeah, that's how dumbasses talk. It's like even the dumbass in the show has like a great philosophy on why he's a dumbass. And I just think it's like a beautiful way to look at the world where everyone's articulate, everyone can string together poetic lines. And, and then, and then, you know, even like the dumb ass bro is like kind of a really sophisticated dude. So Pacey's my inspiration. Plus Dawson was always such like a,

like a wet noodle and like neurotic and like always trying to like make everything perfect and just kind of stealing the fun from things. And Pacey was just kind of like a cool dude who went with the flow and was loyal and could throw it out. So yeah, Pacey's a stud, dude. I love that guy.

Chad, do you have a quote of the week? Yeah. Where is it? It's from Steve Martin. Talking about music is like dancing about architecture. Nice. What is it again?

Talking about music is like dancing about architecture. Oh. I don't get it. I don't know. It just looked like a cool sentence to me it is a cool sentence yeah joe what's your quote of the week uh my quote of the week is uh where the fucking females um that's uh from steve stifler and american pie too, that's kind of the theme of the quarantine. I've been by myself and, uh,

I really miss women a lot. It'd be nice to see a woman. So did it. You had a lady over last night though, right? Yeah, but not for long.

Whoa. You guys get intimate. Breaking the Q yeah no i mean it's a g we've kind of been keeping each other company here on the block we've got a tight-knit group here and uh just kind of sometimes we'll do street corner meetings. Yesterday, she came in, but most of the time we're just hanging out outside. All right. I'm fired up. I'm about to watch this freaking web series after the Q-Tain, dude. You kidding me? I'm loving what I'm hearing over here.

I like it too. Strider, what's your quote of the week? My quote of the week is from Baz Luhrmann's Sunscreen song. Remember that from like 90 to 7? The fucking greatest. Great song. And the reason, but I'm quoting it contextually from the movie About Time that I watched. Remember I was telling you I was going to watch it and we were on the sticks?

And I was like, oh, it's a rom-com? But I'm balling, dude. Dude, it's a father-son movie, dude. dude i'm at the end i'm just sitting there and my girlfriend is you know she's watching me do my freaking tank gf and she's you know she's it's she's feeling the emotions but if you're a dude dude you haven't called your dad in a while or something like that you're just watching a movie do my face i'm just oh i'm watching this thing like on a fucking like three getting like three g's of emotion to my face like oh i'm not going mock six oh like about to just fucking cry and like dude i'm just feeling it bro

and it's unreal and then they got that song from uh like uh who's that guy uh sam cave nick cave nick cave bro yeah how long will i love you dude, what a song. No, not How Long Will I Love You, but yeah. I don't believe in an inventionist God. Into my arms. That song is beautiful, dude. It's beautiful, bro. And you said it. When I told you I was going to watch it, you go, dude, great music.

And you were absolutely right. But this isn't a musical part, but it's quoting a song. And one line I liked, and I think I'm almost crying right now. I was just crying right now. I was just dating my wife. We went and saw it in the theaters and I bawled through the entire credits. Yeah, Aaron.

It's a good one. The dad is Bill Knight. He's the dad, right? And he's such a great dad, right? Oh my God. He's the best dad ever. He's fun loving. He's full of wisdom. And they do it right in that movie.

Like they're borderlining on stuff. They've got theories on life and stuff, but you're watching and you're like, yeah, man, I like that theory. But Baz Luhrmann, they quote one thing and he says this line, it's just a line from the song. And it says,

don't worry about the future or worry, but know that worrying is effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum so a little steve martini there but it's just you know you can't control these things you gotta and you know right now we're worried about covid and all that and it's like do what we can do wash our hands stay and be safe you know we can't control it so that's what there's an appointment there's another line i love from that song where he says that don't compare yourself to other people sometimes you're ahead sometimes behind but the race is long and in the end only with yourself yes yeah dude that whole song's just bangs with solid maxims yeah so good and do the the melody in the background like just the quick guitar, and then it hits like with the –

Oh, dude. We lost Strider. Did you guys hear Strider? Yeah, he froze a little bit. Yeah, we'll wait for him. Look at that freeze. Yeah, he's deep in it. Dude, he could still be going right now and not know he's frozen.

He might be two minutes in. He probably is going. Yeah, he's going to come back in at full trip, full speed. Let's see. Looks like he's on a chopper given the traffic. He looks happy. This is like at the end of a movie. They freeze frame him there.

Oh, no. He died. I'm back. There he goes. Oh, dude. Did you keep going? Dude, i just went in my closet and went back in time i clenched my fists and just came back to this moment and i'm gonna redo my quote what were you saying about the medley from the song oh it's just that it's fire like it picks

up at all the right times and punctuates every quote yeah that's a good one uh aaron what's your quote of the week so this quote isn't as deep as the ones i've been throwing lately but uh it's it's from the movie mud it's from michael shannon's character to the main character who's who's like a little kid he's like 14 he thought he was dating this 16 year old girl um she kind of like shrugs him off and so he walks into his buddy's place and his uncle uh is sitting there and he just says so you get your heart broke don't walk around with the shit look on your face get back in there get your tip wet you hear me yeah it's perfect don't walk around sad. Just get back out there. You're fine. You're young. I think it's the same thing I tell all the Stokers.

Yeah. Hell yeah. My quote is from the show Enlightened from the finale episode called Burn It All. And Laura Dern has basically been working for this corporation that has been doing some shady shit. And she outsolved their business to the LA Times, even though they were going to promote her into a job where she could potentially change things but she just she can't change these places from within like it's kind of an us or them situation and then the CEO of the company confronts her and she's a little bit hippy dippy annoying and uh I I feel like that about myself sometimes like I just have like these nebulous ideas that we should all be compassionate,

but I don't know if there's real substance behind them. And this guy gives a dressing down to those kinds of people that I think is super effective. He says, you know what we, you know what you are? Cause we read your file. We know your whole story. Okay. You're a mental patient. You feel, but you don't think you cry about the planet. You weep for the ocean, you bitch and you moan, but you can't understand anything. You are a hysteric. And if you had the power, if the world was run by you, there would be no abandon, which is the name of the company. Yes. And in fact, there would be

nothing. You think you changed something here? You changed nothing. You will always be in the margins because all you have are these fuzzy headed, idealistic notions that don't fucking apply. It's a good scene. Yeah, it's it's good show i recommend it to everybody although i kind of spoiled it but what's it called enlightened it's with laura dern it's written by mike mike white the guy who did school of rock and chuck and buck and what's it on uh hbo okay it's good it's super funny it's kind of like got a lot of like awkward humor in it where you're like kind of cringing because the main character uh always does the thing like you're like oh please don't say that awkward thing and she's the kind of character that always does but it's got a lot of heart i would definitely recommend it yeah and that guy's monologue you got to listen to it it's

like the way he pieces it together is beautiful um all right Chad, do you have a phrase of the week for getting after it? Let's save that cruise for another date. Oh, dude. That was fire. Strider, you're at the bottom of the video now. Do you want to go next? What's your phrase of the week? My phrase of the week is tea time in five.

And you might think that that means we're going to have a tea, you know, a language breakfast between me and Jeff, but not it. We've been toning it up with our workout vids, dude. Oh, Katrina,

dude. So we'll be like, should we tea time in five, dude? And then we get out there, we do a nice little workout fit together. So tone time, tone time.

Exactly. My dog. Tone time. Exactly. My dog. Nice. Joe? Yeah, I would say, okay. I'd say avoid fear because fear will weaken your immune system. Smart. Aaron?
