Manscaped, thank you so much for keeping our trims pubed, for looking after our hogs, for making sure that our dongs are looking fresh and clean. Because, guys, I mean, what are pubes? What are pubes?

They're the personification of tea around your dong. And, you know, in our society, you know, you got to have tea levels, but you can't let them go overboard, you know. You got to keep them in check, make sure you're motivated, make sure you're strong. Make sure you're squatting a lot. But you're not getting too aggro and starting fights at Sharkies. So make sure you guys hit up Manscaped to keep that T in check. Use code GODIP, www.manscaped.com. And I'm here with my compadre, John Domas.

What up? Boom, clap, Stokers. And we're here with Strider Wilson. What up, Legends, dude? Fired up to be back, fired up to be back dude feels good dude long overdue legends the relation ah dude too high of praise relation guru it's been nice did you know quarantine and with my gf2 we've been spending a lot of nice time together she played me a song on the piano today which was amazing that she's been practicing wow yeah what song dang i'm forgetting the title it's it's a song that's on the radio now right now that we would know oh happy by pharrell one day chopsticks

aaron fish i'm telling her you said that dude she'll come down here she's also been taking karate lessons dude that's not true but uh yeah i'm forgetting the name of the song i'll text her and ask her right now but it was very lovely and i actually uh before she played it was hilarious she'll she uses her headphones to play and uh she's like okay and i'm like when you're ready to show me i'd love to hear it and she's like okay i'm ready today i was like okay perfect and i got like three feet from behind her and like stood like this like holding a nice tea and like ready to watch she's like you need to go sit down like you can't watch me over my shoulder like that it was hilarious i was like oh. You just want to be as close as possible, though. I wanted to see the finger work.

Right. Give her good notes. Let her know how to improve. Be very intense about it. Be Joe Rogan about it, dude. Because you can't waste time on activities. Like Call of Duty. Can we get into that a little bit?

Are you kidding about that? Bro. I mean, I get what he's saying. Like, under normal circumstances, like, yeah, like, every dad's going to tell you don't play too many video games. Like like there's other productive things you can do but also let's relax a little bit let me have a fun time and jt said it perfectly he's like dude it's keeping us in touch with our boys yeah and you know i think from the outside when you're not

dropping into verdank uh regularly then it's very easy to be judgmental oh you're a gamer you're you're staring at a screen yeah hitting buttons not doing anything with your time but when you get in there and when you experience the camaraderie and you you know feel this connection with your dogs especially when you're under the gun and you're like four teams left i mean you know especially during corona, especially during Corona times, it's hard to recreate experiences like that. True. Yeah. I think it's also like he has things that he does

that aren't like traditionally the best things to do. Like you could say smoking weed is like a waste of time too. Yeah. But it's helped him, I guess. You know what I mean? I believe him when it says it hasn't. He's incredibly successful. So you kind of have to, you have to have some faith in him.

But it's like, yeah, so trust us. If we say Call of Duty is helping us, with my reaction time and with my homie time, just give me the benefit of the doubt, dog. Yeah. And guess what, dude? It doesn't even have to help us. It's okay to just straight up enjoy some stuff sometime. Right. As long as it doesn't have a negative externality, like I'm not playing bass on full volume in my apartment like when my neighbors

are trying to sleep i got headphones on and i'm gaming and i'm having a little fun it's okay to do stuff that isn't career focused well we read an article basically that suggested that hedonism is more important for your well-being than people think at this moment yeah that it's actually really beneficial to have just purely pleasurable time in your day that doesn't have any kind of function in your improvement. Yeah. And that it's actually hard for a lot of people to do that. And I feel that because sometimes when I am chilling, I'm like, I should, there's the

voice in my head's like, you should be doing something, you should be doing something. But then when I'm doing something, the voice in my head is like, hey, you should be chilling. And it's like, you're always kind of at odds with yourself. No, I feel that so hard. I mean, I'm learning more and more like today i took a power nap and it was incredible huge um but i'm learning more and more to you know a lot of it's about having fun but you know and it's you can you can move your life forward if you know if if you're it's being about being selective about your time. You know, about like, if you're going to work on something, work on it, you know, efficiently and make sure it's like, like just working, just working for the sake of working is not, that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to move forward.

You got to be more, you know, sort of focused about what you do work on and then focused about how you do relax and focused on when you do drill yourself. Correct. Yeah. It's an allotted time. It's a small amount of time for me, but it's allotted. And then I can go. I think it's about, and the article mentioned setting the boundaries around it. It's like, well, you're less likely to have intrusive thoughts while relaxing and chilling and partying if you're like, okay, I'm going to do it this weekend.

That's so true. It made me think of Coachella. if you're like, okay, I'm going to do it this weekend, which is so true. It made me think of Coachella. I think that's why these festivals are so big right now is it enables people to be like, in April, I'm going to have that weekend. And it's a three-day break. Yep.

I'm going to chill. I'm going to do a little Molly. I'm going to hug someone. I'm going to cry. I'm going to hear a freaking Florence and the Machine. It's going to be legit. Right. And there you go.

And then you can go back to work the next day. It's a large scale cultural ritual that allows people to disconnect from the capitalistic rat race that we're all stuck inside of. Yes, dude. Hell yes, dude. We need that. We need that. Yes. And it's good that it's a set amount of time.

Yeah, you're right. But then I've seen people, you know, some people on Sunday night, they're like, do I stay for Monday? You know, there's that little grappling match. That's just a day. You got to give yourself a plus minus on it of a day give a little little wiggle room but yeah stick to those boundaries if you if you can but yeah you know you get a little wiggle yeah well one thing i'm trying to work on is is making peace with the hangover oh yeah because then when i do get hung

over i'm like that was a waste of time i'm gonna be a piece of shit this week my brain's not gonna function at top notch level and i don't know uh so it makes like you know because before you have like all these like visions of just tearing up the dance floor and you know just getting all this praise for just breaking it down to can't stop the feeling something like that hell yes i mean dude maybe that's sorry wait finish your thoughts yeah let me think of something it's just and then you get hung over and you're like it's just like the complete opposite it's it's such a bummer yeah well yeah you seem to get pretty gnarly hangovers i'm wondering if that's just part of your process like if like like you love the moment and then the moment kind of beats you up a little bit but

that's like maybe it's okay you know it's like how a fighter feels sore after a fight it's like it sucks but you fought you know you were in there for five rounds banging it out with whatever it is you drink right yeah i mean sometimes it's tight i remember like we'd be hung over in high school and it's like our idea we're cruising to oph together we're getting breakfast you know and then you'd have intrusive thoughts in breakfast and be like, after this breakfast, I'm going to be alone. But I think it's getting that. You had those? Of course.

After breakfast. See, I didn't have those at that age. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I didn't have those in high school. It was mainly like, it'd be work focused. I'd be like, I have to go home. I've got a quiz, whatever.

Like, it'd start coming in right then, you know? Okay. See, I wasn't doing my homework. So I was just like, this is nice. You had like 135 demerits and then they're like, you know? Okay, see, I wasn't doing my homework, so I was just like, this is nice. Dude, you had like 135 demerits, and then they're like, you've turned in, like, if you just did your homework, it'd be chill. But they're like, you did not do your homework.

You're out, dude. And I didn't play sports either. They were like, what do you do? I was like, I kick it with my friends. And they were like, that's not enough to stay at this school. And I was like... It'd be amazing if the dean made you do a shuttle run. He's like, all right, we can use you in this position.

Yeah. But dude, maybe you do a shuttle run. He's like, all right, we can use you in this position. Yeah. But, dude, maybe you build into your schedule. Part of it is, of that hedonism, is the come down. Because you're going on such a high hot. The deviation's going greater than your mean. You're partying weekend. You're going to be up here. So your drop down's going to be harder.

What goes up must come down. Exactly. So you just got to build in. Instead of staying on that Monday out in Palm Springs, you go, no, no, no. I'm going to go cruise back. I'm going to take stress off myself. I know I'm going to have a day to feel a little bit blue. And then tomorrow I'll be chilling.

Yeah. I just, yeah, that day of blue. I mean, I guess I just hate not being stoked so much that it just like it compounds you know it's it's just like a black hole that just you know it just keeps sucking in stoke um but and the quote that always runs through my mind is is arnold you know he's like when you're out there partying horsing around someone out there at the same time is working hard. Just remember that. Right. And that just goes on loop in my dome and I'm like, fuck. But he rages. I heard that, yeah. Yeah, he parties.

Yeah. Yeah, he'd party and then guess what? When there's a day you're working hard, that person who was working hard on your rage day, they're taking the day off. Are you sure though? Do you know that for sure? Maybe not David Goggins, that guy. Maybe he goes every day. But I think, I was talking about this the other day, like David Goggins.

I kind of did. I sometimes will talk about how he annoys me. And I overall think, you know, he's a very impressive human being and he's like his productivity is remarkable, but he's, it's like, I would love if just like one day a week, he was like, you know what? I'm not going to run today just to mix it up. Like it's he's every time I look at one of his videos, he's hitting the same button over and over again. I need a little more variety in the people in my life.

I want you to have ups and downs. I want you to be more up than down, but I need a little bit more dimensions to the person. To me, he's so one-note. It's just like, so today I didn't want to run, and then I motherfucking ran. I'm like, well, I heard you say that last week. I'm like, you told me that last week.

Maybe if he was banging out Russian russian literature he's like so yesterday yeah i was a hard motherfucking i ran and today i'm a hard motherfucker reading tolstoy yeah i'm gonna read this whole motherfucking book today that'd be awesome that's literally perfect yeah he should bring you in for a rewrite on his online persona because i think that's all that's needed and it's still in that dominant trajectory, but it's like, at least it's different. I'm like, okay, David Goggins is running again. I'm like, it's amazing.

He runs. But yeah, you run. I mean, I've got ideas for The Rock. I've got ideas for Goggins. The Rock's captions, you know, make it one word. The Rock goes through a divorce and he's like, I just want to thank my wife for going through the best divorce that's ever happened.

Like we both came into it with our hearts full and we really went into that litigation and just decided how we were going to split up our motherfucking assets. And I'm fired up on how that distribution is going to happen. Yeah, I guess. What if he's getting divorced? He's going to caption, fuck. Yeah, that'd be awesome. That's perfect.

That's perfect. I love that. Yeah. Fuck, dude. I fucked up. Yeah. Was my impersonation of Goggins offensive? No, I was thinking about that when you were doing it.

I was like, I don't think so. Yeah. You're capturing the intensity. You're not capturing anything else. I like to imagine in that instance, he's in the library still trying to be a bit quiet right i'm fucking i'm fucking drilling the fucking dosedoyevsky right now fucking in my dome and the grand inquisitor the greatest chapter in all of goddamn literature right now in my fucking dome it's amazing superset this shit with chapter six let's go it's the only chapter i know from the book i would have said the name of the chapter if i knew it but i don't

oh you do yeah that's the only one i know which one the grand inquisitor people say kurt vonnegut said it was the greatest chapter in all of literature that's the name of the chapter the grand inquisitor i think is chapter five of dostoevsky's brother karamazov dude nice dude you always rip the title have you guys read russian literature no i try to read that like eight times it's just not working for me i read orwell's takedown on tolstoy though and that's pretty incredible yeah he gets into some deep hypocrisy with that fool yeah i like doing that times it's just not working for me i read orwell's takedown on tolstoy though and that's pretty incredible yeah he gets into some deep hypocrisy with that fool yeah i like doing that i like reading takedowns of like all-time great men yeah where someone's like tolstoy greatest author of

all time here's why he's full of shit i'm like nice yeah i got the dirt on you tolstoy dude i had a nightmare about joe rogan last night whoa it was that he was he was like in an rv moving to texas and i think i was trying to cruise but he told he heard me talking shit and so him and tony hinchcliffe were like heard you talking shit dude i'm like can i cash please come to texas with you guys and they're like and i don't really remember the rest but they were about to beat my ass oh Oh, no, dude. Yeah. But, dude, you don't want to go to Texas, dude.

I mean, there's no real waves down there. I guess you can ride, like, some oil rig waves or something like that. I've seen that on, like, summer or some surf video. Yeah, I mean, I love Texas. I love barbecue. I love Texas donuts. I love cowboy hats. You know, I'm down. Cholestein. Yeah, but I'm California until the day I die, unless I move cowboy hats. You know, I'm down.

Joe Osteen. Yeah, but I'm California till the day I die. Unless I move to Hawaii. For sure. Yeah. You'd be eating

Whataburger, dude, and I don't know what you can get at Whataburger. I don't know what you can get there, dude. Good luck. It's pretty good, actually.

I don't know. We went to it and, like, everybody was touting it saying it was better than In-N-Out. And I think a lot of this just has to do with where your palate developed. In California, we have a more sophisticated palate. But yeah, we had Whataburger, and I was like, what is the big deal? It didn't quite resonate.

Yeah, I took a bite. I was like, what the fuck is this? Yeah. Yeah, dude. we were also in houston and our buddy i don't want to like give away his name because he's such a nice guy i mean i could say he didn't he literally did nothing bad he just showed us the places that he was stoked on and he took us to some donut shop that served like one of those little breakfast things with like the hot it's like a basically a hot dog but wrapped all the way around i mean mean, they're terrible, dude. Right. He took us to a couple Texas institutions.

Yeah, and he's like, this donut shop's amazing, dude. This is the best donut you're ever going to have. I went there, and I was like, literally, dude, I've had way better donuts. That's like A's Burgers. If you took someone to A's Burgers, I don't think they'd be blown away by it. But when you grow up there, there's something romantic about it. Yeah. I've been thinking about moving.

I want to move to Orange County. I'm ready to leave Los Angeles. Oh, you're something romantic about it. Yeah. I've been thinking about moving. I want to move to Orange County. I'm ready to leave Los Angeles. Oh, you're thinking Orange County now? Yeah. I mean, more likely Manhattan Beach because I could actually maybe feasibly still do all the stuff that we're doing from there, although it'd be a hike. But yeah, I'm kind of, and I think a lot of people are feeling this way in the pandemic. A bunch of people have moved out of my apartment building.

Yeah. I came back and like neighbors were leaving. I think a lot of people are just getting out of the city. Yeah. And, and I don't know, they just want to move towards the suburbs, I guess.

Yeah. No Culver. A Culver. That's probably where I'm going to end up. But if, if I had my druthers and career wasn't such a big factor, I think I would go to the OC. Oh yeah. I think I oh yeah i think i'd i

think i'd move back to san clemente oh hell yeah maybe santa barbara i like san diego too you know both are awesome yeah dude north park and san diego is amazing yeah north park's awesome encinitas yeah encinitas would be really cool yeah but uh yeah just everyone just seems so happy in those places yeah you know i i spent the day in newport the other day and i drove back to la and i was like oh did i know man i was on like venice boulevard i was like you know i was i was watching i was i was eating at a restaurant outdoors safely of course and i was watching boats go by. There's a boat called Beer Money. And just a bunch of people

in board shorts just partying. And I was like, dude, this is not in Culver City. There's no beer money in Culver City. But I was like, you know what? I'm going to work hard enough so that I can get my own beer money and then go there. That's what I mean. It takes a lot of beer.

It takes some craft beer money to be having a boat like that yeah yeah but it's also nice to hear you guys say and maybe i'm setting you both up a little bit here um i don't know if you guys noticed but i host a podcast now you know so maybe you know i'm just checking out history's dang making history legends dude you guys have been making history and i was gonna say it's nice to hear you speak highly of oc even though some of its patrons have been treating you guys a little bit less than chill recently. Well, I mean, it goes both ways, because we put out videos of them treating us that way, so we probably come out the other side of it. It was magnanimous of you guys to block that guy out who coughed on you. That was one of the most unchill moves I've seen. Chad's compassion. Chad called me and was like, hey, we got to block this guy out.

Yeah. It was nice. Thank you. It was Luke Casey, too. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I have some, you know.

It was sort of like, I don't know. Well, you just didn't want him to get in trouble because it's like really a crime. It's a crime to cough on someone. Yeah. Yeah. And you just don't want to be part of that sort of, I don't know. Part of me was like, I'm not sure if he did it intentionally or not.

Like I couldn't tell. He for sure did it on purpose. But he was like hammered and he was just like, oh. So like, I don't know. It didn't, to me,

in the moment, I was like, that didn't seem intentional. I think he was just a dumbass. Yeah. But I don't know. know yeah it was nice of you to blur him out yeah you guys got good karma coming your way for that one that's nice that's legit and you were

masked up ready to go so you were chilling there were some people who were like don't block that guy out let him burn dude always dude you know what that made me think of when I was watching Saving Private Ryan remember when they stormed the beach in d-day and there's the scene where like they flamethrower and then they cut down at the guy on the beach and he's like don't shoot let him burn you know and like you've been watching the american soldiers get so obliterated at that

point you're like enthralled you're like yeah yeah then i watched another world war ii movie called my way and it's about um it's a great movie it's about um this korean um soldier who gets like conscripted into the japanese imperialist army then he's in the russian army then he gets captured and put in like the german army and he's put on the front lines in normandy yeah and so not all those guys are and you know in that instance like obviously you know spielberg put like nazis in there like blue you know probably ss troops who are obviously doing the devil's work but like mission made me think like oh damn like not everyone's voluntary you think of the that army of being like pure evil but it's like dude there's conscripted shoulders who don't want to

be in there fighting in that army yeah unwillingly especially the red army dude it's gnarly yeah yeah there's a lot of people being forced to do stuff that's a little above their head yeah so just had that epiphany recently which was pretty sick that's good you got empathy for the enemy you got to have that right i mean because they're not that different than us just born in a different place yeah who knows how we would have yeah well there's that story of like who's telling us about that do you talk about that where during like christmas the or maybe i just heard oh yeah like on in world war ii during christmas i think it was one right world war Do you talk about that during Christmas? Or maybe I just heard it. Oh, yeah. In World War II during Christmas.

I think it was World War I, right? World War I, the Germans and then some other Spanish. I think it was in Madrid or something. They celebrated. Was it the Italians or French? I thought it was the British. But basically both sides, they started calling to each other from their different different trenches and then they had like a little like soiree together. Yeah.

Yeah. That would be so weird. I know. Like, this is fun, but I'm going to shoot you in the head tomorrow. Totally. And if there's anything that proves it, it's like those guys are just doing their government's work, you know? Like, it's crazy, man.

It's totally crazy. Yeah. There was reading something on the civil war where like uh um they were playing like early forms of baseball and or excuse me the revolutionary war like confederate so no civil war what the hell am i talking about civil war and confederate and union troops would like play baseball against each other yeah not the game we know today but a similar type of game yeah yeah christmas eve uh spontaneous truce broke truce spontaneous truce broke out on the Western Front against the orders of high command.

And the British and the French and Germany all played soccer together. Yeah, that's what I heard. That's awesome. Yeah. You guys ever see War Horse? Wait, what were you going to say? I was going to bring up something different, so go ahead. I'm just going to say, I'm trying to make it through that puppy.

Good luck. Yeah. Is it a tear-jerker? It's truly about the horse. No, no, no. I mean, they have the movies. They have the moments that are very sweet and will make you cry, and it's well-acted and everything, but you're like, holy fuck.

The protagonist is the horse. And some of the vignettes are so good. Like the older gentleman who takes care of the the horse and then like, like the soldiers, like Toby Kebbell's character and stuff, but you just don't need the horse. No, the horse, like they using that as like the narrative device that like kind of strings

everything together. You're just like, no matter how hard I try, I just do not care enough about this horse. Yeah. And honestly, I'm not going to lie. There's like,

the horse gets a friend at one point and I'm like, wait, which one's the fucking horse I'm supposed to be looking at again right and they do like a spot like it's like in the kid at the end spoiler alert he's like it has white socks and a white spot on its nose and like blah blah blah and he's been blinded by gas at that point and one soldier's like um and the horse is like all covered in mud and stuff because it got out of the barbed wire because a german and an english officer team up to get the horse out, which is a nice display of humanity. And the animal showing,

being the most, you know, bringing out the humanity in man. There's something to be said about that. But one of the guys is like, wait, wait, he's muddy. Let's wash him off. They wash off the horse and he's right. And then they let it live, dude.

Or they don't sell it. They don't let the guy keep his horse. That's nice. So it's nice. Spielberg, baby. So you just moved. Yeah, to Los Feliz. I don't know if. They don't let the guy keep his horse. That's nice. That's nice. Spielberg, baby. So you just moved. Yeah, to Los Feliz. I don't know if we've talked to you since you moved.

How's the new place? It's great. We love it, man. It's amazing. Got central air, which is huge. It's got a dishwasher. I feel like you try to get, you have your list of things you want. You probably never all get all.

There's price. There's amenities and all those things. You get two or three of the five things, you're happy. And we got, I think, four of the things that we wanted. Wow. We're paying a little more. But, dude, no more Ignacio thinking I'm sneaking into his drilling holes, trying to spy on him. And no more Jerry fucking just drilling cigs,s dude just straight up deleting cigarettes below me and inhaling it and i'm inhaling that so that's nice and um yeah it's all redone everything's

new in there it's great the building's quieter um tons of people have dogs dude it's like now now we're getting a dog it's gonna have to happen yeah mark my words i'm saying it now what kind of getting i like little dogs i like little dogs. I like little dogs. Like something I can hold right here, 12 pounds. Like a football. Exactly. To just tuck that thing. High and tight.

And just do the Heisman pose with it and just get it right in there. I'd love that. But we'll probably want something medium. A big dog would be great, but you've got to have a yard for a big dog, which we don't have. We're in a one-bedroom. But medium dog, something cute. I don't have we're in a one bedroom but medium dog something cute you know i don't know rescue probably not a puppy just because it's too much energy and training it and yeah yeah yeah good nice rescue yeah it's just tough to get one you know it's just tough to find

a good one yeah you know they all deserve a home i just don't know if they deserve mine kidding dude kidding dude they're coming yeah how. Yeah. How's your private space? You got to watch out. People will come after you. Yeah. How's your private space? Oh, it's great. Do you have like a little... Drill factory?

A drill factory, a desk. Of course, I have my desk area. That was a huge, not point of contention, but it was definitely a point of like, when we saw the space, we're like, okay, my desk, like your desk can go here. And in fact, there's another space next to my desk where I can get a little more creative with. Maybe put a bookshelf there. put i don't know maybe if this q-team continues a piece of home exercising equipment there although i don't know if we want that out all the time but fired up on that and then um yeah so dude it's it's we actually went on this

website um called havenly and uh they kind of tell you your style and i was insulted by my style a little bit i I got coastal preppy, which was sick. I think that fits. Well, it's sick to have coastal, but I was like, what's this preppy going on, dude? You're preppy, bro.

Fuck, dude. It's just true, dude. That's the thing. That's what hurts so bad about it. I want it like boho classic, like something sick, bohemian, yet timeless. And I get fucking coastal preppy, dude. Me timeless. And I get fucking coastal preppy,

dude, me mama. But I think, I think being coastal preppy, but aspiring, see, they got you right with the archetype, but they didn't add in the dimension of yearning.

You have to not be that archetype, which I think is what makes it so compelling. Thank you. And marketable to them. Cause I will purchase above what I'm able to purchase in order to not be coastal preppy. Wow. They will be able to upsell me. And maybeable to them because I will purchase above what I'm able to purchase in order to not be coastal preppy. Wow. They will be able to upsell me and maybe that's part of their outcome.

Maybe that is definitely part of it. They planted that self-loathing in you. Correct. To get you to spend outside of your comfort zone. I think it might be right. But they nailed my gesture.

Did you designate your drill zone?

Yes, it's the bathroom. And my desk area on my GSL on the run. You should get like a neon light, like an open sign or something. Oh. Or maybe like... On air. Like a recording.

On air? Or maybe... I like... In Big Daddy, when he has a neon light in his room that says live nudes. Oh, dude. Switch that on. That'd be so sick.

Yeah. I love that type of decor in my apartment too. Yeah. GFs don't love that type of stuff. I know. But if it's small and I can just put it out, or if it's off, she can't even see it. I love that, dude.

But if you get it for me for Christmas, dude, I'll go halfsies on you with this gift for Christmas for me. Like, dude, Chad got it for me. I can't not put it up. When you're away, I'll install it. Dude, yes. This will be purely on me. Your GF can just blame it all on me, and then she'll know

when you're drilling yourself, and she'll be stoked. Yeah, it's a good form of healthy communication. The boundary will be set. It's a fire call yeah that's what's now i just wait for her to go on a run dude she daily downloads but she's like i'm gonna go on a run around six i'm like perfect and then she'll like wait a little bit or send like another email i'm like it's 6 30 the temperatures i'll like inform her about the temperature i'm like hey it's like it's only 70 degrees right now i was like perfect for a run a run. You're going to go for a run? Yeah. She left the other day.

She's like, all right, you can jack off now. Oh, she said that? Jokingly, but like seriously jokingly, like. Just letting you know that she knows. Yeah, letting me know she knows. That's sweet though. It was nice. Maybe you'll get to a place where she turns on the light.

It's like. Oh, that'd be tight. Yeah. So when she's gone running. oh dude that was accurate that was good accurate noise that's a lotion style noise yeah this might be too blue but we've talked about this maybe with joe i think we talked about this on comms i don't really use lotion that much no i'm raw dog it never yeah i love that i love that we all have that in common um we also we read about elon musk yeah he did a big profile in the new york times i don't know how i feel about him still

i know you know i think it's actually good to be in the middle on him because i think there's he has too many detractors and he has too many like acolytes i think i think he's just i don't know to me he seems, he's not that interesting to me. He's kind of just like, but the things that he's working on are interesting, but I don't think he's that interesting. He kind of has that thing that Patrice O'Neill said about Seth MacFarlane, where he's like, Seth MacFarlane wants to be bigger than Family Guy.

He wants to be more interesting than the stuff he makes. And I feel like Elon Musk has a little bit of that. Like, I like his ideas, but then he has this, and maybe he needs the self-promotion, maybe he needs the personality aspects to promote the stuff, but I don't know. I don't think he, nothing he says really, I'm like, wow, that's an interesting guy.

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, maybe he's like, they talk about, oh, is he like, who's the Charles Branson dude, like Virgin Atlantic? Richard. Richard Branson. Charles Branson dude like Virgin Atlantic or Richard Branson Charles Branson's like the Jack dude from Death Wish right yeah

who's a cool dude but like yeah would Sir Richard Branson if he came up in the Twitter era would he be like an Elon Musk or something like that or like get the probably yeah attention you know but I do think it's the stuff it's like it's because he's working on so much like fun sci

fi stuff that's cool and like he's kind of a go-getter and like i don't know like he's he's just a high functioning high executing dude that's able to get stuff done and it's amazing but it's he named his baby x yeah yeah i just think he's like a he's trying to be a troll but he's not very good at it you know like he's just trying to troll people but it's just like kind of like people like what right you know he's super close with kanye that would make sense yeah i i think he i think he just goes on twitter to try and like fuck with people but it's like not it's not that funny but i respect him you know and like spacex falcon 9 what up sick uh neuralink i don't know how i feel about that uh the tunnel

project isn't it that sounds sick yeah that sounds good that sounds sick which one sounds good it's like creating like a thing in our brains that we can simultaneously operate with like computers and stuff like that's a way to keep us in front of ai whoa i think right oh yeah because he's talking about how people think they're smarter than computers i I don't think I'm smarter than a computer. No, I don't think so either. He said people have hubris and they don't think computers can be smarter than them. And I was like, no, I think we're all pretty sure that computers are smarter. Yeah.

I always think a computer is smarter than me. Yeah. I did like what he said, though, about how he processes all of these public humiliations that he's been through the last couple of years, where he got in trouble for saying he was taking the company private or for smoking pot on Roggan or for like the truck not looking right at the presentation and he said like basically i'm trying to change the world so any ups and downs are just part of the journey like that stuff's just going to happen on my way i do think that's a healthy way to look at your life because especially if you're if you're like you know dare mighty things if you're

doing stuff like that you are going to look like a bozo half the time so i do like his mindset i just i don't know there's something about his delivery that just i just don't think is very compelling yeah well when he talks it's when you listen to on rogan you're like what's what's going on with that speech pattern yeah his pauses are so long yeah he's like hmm and i'm like if you take a two minute pause you better fucking fire out some really profound shit yeah yes yeah but he'll take a two minute pause and be like it's interesting i'm not so sure i agree i'm like that's it yeah it took like two minutes you're on this podcast so i can hear what you just thought about yeah articulate that yeah i think i think it'd be cooler if he just sort of was like a mysterious he just

maintained like some sense of mystery you know he wasn't on twitter he doesn't need to be on twitter yeah you know he's just doing all this cool shit and people are like who is this man and no one really knows i know yeah like like if you're if you're sort of like if you're like the guy who inspired iron you know if you're who inspired t Stark, be that guy without the ego. Yeah. That'd be cool. That'd be really cool. Why are you tweeting?

And his tweets cost him money. They cost him $20 million. The SEC found him for being like, he's always making a cool 420 joke or something like that. Yeah. He said he was going to take the company private at 420 a share. And he put 420 instead of 419 because Grimes likes to smoke pot. They're both weird.

Yeah. Yeah. It's nice they found each other. I do love that. I like that she's like, I went through a Wiccan phase. You know, my GF says she wanted to be a witch at some point. Really?

Yeah. She's like, I love witches. Interesting. Yeah. I think because she's all practical magic. Does that scare you? Good movie. I kind of love it a little bit, but it does scare me. I'm afraid of being cursed. I'm afraid of all practical magic does that scare you good movie I kind of love it

a little bit but it does scare me I'm afraid of being cursed I'm afraid of all that shit why do you love it it's edgy and it's unique and it's something that

I don't know much about anytime you learn a little something new like even like that's why you get stoked in a relationship where I'm like whoa

you get fired up on like cilantro like we've been making one pot meals recently and she's been using a lot of cilantro I'm like oh I didn't know you liked cilantro that much oh right and then a witch You get fired up on cilantro. We've been making one pot meals recently, and she's been using a lot of cilantro. I'm like, oh, I didn't know you liked cilantro that much.

Oh. Right. And then a witch? Yeah. I didn't want to be a witch. I was talking to a girl, and she was obsessed with trains and train tracks. That's cool. Yeah, and she said she used to,

whenever she had a tough question that she didn't know the answer to, she'd count the number of cars on the train and if it was an odd number it was yes and if it was an even number it was no well yeah so in train drive by she's like is this gonna happen and then she'd count the cars yeah and i literally wrote i was like you're interesting wow yeah dude i used to be so terrified of qualifying for junior lifeguards that i would go outside and shoot basketball hoops and i'd shoot free throws and i tell myself i need to try making these and if i make like eight of ten i'll pass

the junior lifeguard swim test if i don't but really i just need to go like do it you know yeah it's interesting though i was like brie was in is into mushrooms yeah that's that was interesting yeah it's cool it's cool to have an interest or a hobby yeah they are really interesting mushrooms too like the way that they she said that they like can speak to all the different plants

and growth in whatever area they're occupying and they can communicate which things need like more nourishment more like food or sun

or whatever it is it's amazing yeah like that they're she thinks they're aliens or she suggested that some people think they're aliens dude there's alien shit.

Think about the bottom of the ocean, dude. We don't even know what's going on down at the bottom, the very depths of our ocean. Yeah. There's another planet down there. It's space. Yeah. We know more about space, apparently. Which I find that hard to believe.

Yeah, me too. Yeah. Because we don't know how much we don't know about space. Yeah. It's infinity. Yeah. Yeah. But it is a cool thing to say.

Yeah. It is cool to be like, we know more about space than we do about the ocean. You're like, weird. Yeah. Yeah. it's infinity yeah but it is a cool thing to say yeah it is cool to be like we know more about space than we do about the ocean you're like weird yeah yeah if you're you know

indulging your first marijuana experience and you're you know a little uptight because it might give you some anxiety I remember I smoked one time with JT

and like we love each other and like literally halfway through I was like do you guys even like me mm-hmm so you guys are all my friends do you guys like me

mm-hmm have that statement that JT just said in your back pocket ready to go like literally halfway through, I was like, do you guys even like me? I was like, you guys are all my friends. Do you guys like me? Have that statement that JT just said in your back pocket ready to go. It's going to help loosen things up. What's that? Dudes, do you know that we know less about our ocean than we do about space? Oh, right. Just say that. Yeah.

That's Chad. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my bad. I hijacked that from you. I remember when we were smoking pot that day, Farah kept going, rip it, rip it, rip it. And I was like, you sound like a frog. Rip it. Oh yeah, yeah.

Rip it. You had a really good joke too. I forget what it was. Fuck. You had such a funny joke, but I forget what it was. It was like 10 years ago. It was. I remember we always used to talk about this moment

that was legendary when Nuccio apparently exhaled in your dad's face like opened the balcony door and just exhaled and went fat but it was fake that never happened no he didn't say fat he was my dad we were having a party and people were and Anthony was smoking

pot on my brother's like little balcony thing and and he was like kind of holding court with a bunch of people and he took a big rip and as he exhaled my dad was there and then we just added that when anthony saw my dad he went but he didn't actually say that but it'd be really funny it'd be amazing if he did be so genius i remember our friend jason though when we were all smoking um was like upset with the weed we had.

And then he took a rip and then he went, now that's what weed's supposed to taste like. And was like really emphatic about it. I was like, shut up, dork. And then he got really sad because he had a little piece. And when you tried to light it, it would like, you'd kind of get burnt. And so we were like, hey, I don't like smoking out of that piece. And it's named, you know, everyone names that stuff. He called it Poseidon.

And he got really quiet. And we're like, Jason, what's wrong? He's like, you're all just going to sit here and disrespect Poseidon? How many times has Poseidon smoked you guys out? And he was like really hurt that we were insulting his piece. Dude, it's not personal, bro. It's not personal at all. Yeah. Sensitive guy, dude.

Dude, we also read about avocados. Students have developed a device that can detect an avocado's ripeness. Now this is very particular to the squad because we've described Stoke as a ripe avocado. And I think that's because it's such a it's such

a transient moment and it's so hard to detect and it's kind of like stoke where it just happens and it's magical and and but now it seems like the magic can be predicted and and the benefits of this is that 40 of all food in the u.s goes uneaten that means americans throw away 165 billion worth of food that could have been used to make more than 58 trillion meals, according to the National Resource Defense Council. And a big percentage of that is because it's stores. We love looking at big produce sections. So they put more food out there so it looks more robust and exciting when you walk by.

But that actually creates more food that gets thrown away. But maybe thanks to this device, no longer. That's nice. Yeah, that is interesting. it's the the idea of having a stocked pantry stocked fridge you know it's like you need it to be like you can't i think people have a hard time of like eating everything down until it's done and then refilling it yeah you just always gotta keep it stocked and then stuff goes to waste and then you're done yeah we really love it when it's like stocked we're like oh this is like when you open someone's fridge and it's full you're like

this is amazing it makes you feel so good yeah yeah look at all that cereal nutrigrain bars bacon beef jerky uh you know it's like how much of that are you actually going to eat not all of it no way no no shot yeah especially if it's carbs toast done is and there's probably no worst food to waste than an avocado yeah come on i mean it's it's like nature's balls so true i feel like you i mean you found your path dude you're activists both of you guys raising awareness legit legends but honestly if you went the corporate route you could have just worked for like ralph's or albertson or vaughn's and just been a strictly avocado like i mean i could just see that as a path for you dude you could call your dad and be like dad

i found my path dude dude thank you so much it's a hands-on job honestly i feel like you i feel like you can eyeball an avocado and just know dude if i, if I could operate a forklift carrying a box of avocados, the A-cottos, I mean... Yeah. That'd be dope. Yeah. It'd be sick. It'd be so sick.

Or a scissor lift. Ooh. You know those ones? Get you 50 feet up in the air, and then you just say, let them eat avocados, you drop them out onto... That'd be amazing. Those are the ones that are high school football games?

Yeah. Have you ever tried to drill yourself with avocado? Whoa, I've thought about it. I heard that's going to be in the Call Me By Your Name sequel. Yeah. He's going to jizz pop an avocado. In Call Me By Your Name, he does a peach. And then the other guy eats the peach. he's gonna jizz pop an avocado and call me by your name he does a peach

and then the other guy eats the peach and then they go for a fucking nice bike ride very nice yeah but my problem with that movie it wasn't gay enough

really they show heterosexual penetration but they don't show any gay penetration wait and this is the gay movie do they literally like zoom in on penetration no but he's on top

of a girl gyrating and they're naked. Yeah, but you don't see any. There's no like... That'd be like NC-17. Yeah. They used to do that in movies more. I think actually sex scenes in movies have become more muted

because now porn is... It's like specialization. That's inevitably where capitalism takes us. My second ref towards that. And then I think we've just specialized in all importance. Now movies are a little more tame with their sex because we don't need them for that anymore there's an hour yeah yeah i wish we could i honestly wish we could get back in time to like porn is kind of a rarity you know so when you see boobs in a movie you guys i mean i actually you know i don't know i think i i think i classify them differently in my

brain you know when you see porn it's like it's like you're desensitized to it but when you see boobs in a movie it's more exciting yeah it's like it's like more like all right this is this is a real treat this isn't like yeah like i kind of worked for this even though i just sat on the couch 100 true that's what i liked about game of thrones even though if you like probably added up screen time there's guaranteed way more female like full frontal nudity and whatever but i like that they're showing dong yeah i like when it's balanced i like and honestly i like to see a little bit of dong the actor's gonna drop it you know yeah yeah absolutely no like when michael faust bender did i was like yeah he's a real

actor it's cool yeah yeah it shows commitment to the craftassbender did it I was like yeah he's a real actor it's cool yeah it shows commitment to the craft especially if you do it in a movie that's like pretty highbrow yeah or Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises

one of the best literally one of the best scenes it should be required watching for everybody it's one of the best scenes I've ever seen in my life

I wonder what it was like on set that day because it's such a wild scene too like he's fighting two guys to the death and his dick's out and it's like you probably gotta shoot like he's fighting two guys to the death and his dicks out and it's like you probably got to shoot that 25 times from like a million different angles

and so like he's probably putting on a robe between takes they're like how do you feel he's like i just need a banana or something yeah and then they just keep they keep churning he's talking to the stunt coordinator who's just like heavy eye contact like locker room style eye contact like all right so when you come in he's gonna come over you like that you know slip it and then get up there and get the two ab shots in and then you're gonna

do a tuck roll into the shower yeah or whatever like the steam room or something he's a pro and I wonder like

Vigo's such an artist I'm sure that was a big part of what drew him to the part yeah it's a good movie it's a great movie yeah it's weird

David Cronenberg's a weird guy one of the weirdest directors ever very what else has Cronenberg done Dead Ringers The Fly The History of Violence Dead Zone weird guy one of the weirdest directors ever very what else is conanberg done dead ringers the fly

history of violence dead zone history of violence history of the staircase more like it existence that weird movie with jude law uh crash not the race one but this one where people get off on car accidents yeah which is very provocative yeah do you think actors ever say to their agents like i want to find me a script where i drop dong yeah i think they do who do you think has said that fosbetter because he's got a big piece yeah george clooney famously said what do you golf with your hands behind your back mike yeah when he won the golden globe and they were both nominated yeah it's a great line speaking of artists a four-year-old landed a book deal for his astonishing poetry nadim shama sorgent's words evoking a whole world of hugs

were spotted by a writer kate clanchy who uh i guess you said Strider is uh uh like is helping a lot of kids get known for their stuff I think it's a new uh new project she's doing I just clicked on her name on the article and she's like oh she wants this new initiative of kids voices and she wants them she's it's a nice thing but it's like uh she thinks it's important for kids to have their you know voices heard and their words heard and it's an interesting you know now we have the we always really have with words and poetry that's been around forever but like to capture the four-year-old experience i guess and this kid does a good job of saying what it's like to be a four-year-old yeah i i love that i think i think

it's important to capture the the childlike wonder and mindset to really capture it from authentically from a four-year-old you know i think it's so uh because i feel like a lot of us want to get back to that place a little bit so to read some some poetry of an actual mind like that could be pretty valuable yeah kanye said he was like with each album he's trying to get younger he was like i was like 10 with this one i want to be seven with this one and like four with the next one. Yeah. So is he running for like student council? Yeah.

Instead of president? That'd be interesting. If he was like, yo, I'm going to be president of Santa Margarita High School. Yeah. I'm like,

maybe he should, that would be a good position for him. Yeah. Yeah. He'd be sick, dude. The rallies would be amazing. Yeah. The music would be amazing.

You know, what's interesting about high school elections, people always think the popular person wins and that often does happen but oftentimes the popular person loses because they kind of go into the election feeling confident and they don't know how to put themselves out there or put their story into the speech like put their own identity into the speech and then you'll get like a theater kid who's a little more unknown but knows how to like cultivate a a perspective and a story and they'll be like look i know i'm not the most popular guy here like who here's a football fan

everyone raises their hand and he's like so yeah obviously you're gonna vote for you know the wide receiver i'm running against but i mean who here's a theater fan no one raises their hand he's like all right so i'm not gonna win on popularity boom right there he's got you yeah now you're on board yeah now you're voting for him yeah you got to tell a story. And that's important, and it's more difficult to do. It's very difficult to do because it's aiming down at telling his story. So you've got to find a way to find his weakness, which I think is so much of politics where it's like in any debate, if you can tell your opponent's story for them or just go ahead and label it for them,

even if it's wrong or erroneous and get people to believe it eight mile you got him yeah yeah he does it yeah he finds your name is chester and you went to private school when you have parents who love you boom dude your parents his parents have a real nice marriage yeah and you're supposed to be this edgy dude and you're living in a you know know. Yeah. It's about authenticity, dude. Yeah. Great movie, fucking 8 Mile. One of the best movies ever. Like a sports movie.

We caught our buddy one time, and I won't say his name to preserve his integrity, dude, because he's a chill dude. After 8 Mile came out, dude, he had a brand new spiral bound notebook, bro. Brand new, dude. Tons of space in it. And he was writing lyrics sideways in it one time in our basketball team bus. I saw him doing that so he just knew he had this fantasy in his head where we were going to be going to a game in the bus because eminem rides the actual bus because he can't afford it in the movie and he pulled out

a spiral bound notebook and started writing lyrics sideways in a fucking brand new notebook that had plenty of space to write lyrics horizontal dude yeah saw Yeah. Saw him, dude. I go, what are you doing, dude? You nerd! Lyrics were good, though. No, I'm kidding. I don't know if these lyrics were good. Yeah, you could have destroyed a future rapper. I know.

I feel bad. These are some of the four-year-old's poems. This is Coming Home. Take our gloves off. Take our shoes off. Put them where they're supposed to go. You take off your brave feeling, because there's nothing to be scared of in the house. I don't know. Is that good?

I think it's good. I don't know. Is that good? I think it's good. I don't know. You not sold? I'd have to read it again, I guess. I think that's the problem with modern poetry. It's so difficult to, because poetry now is so free verse, where it's like, okay, a haiku,

or even like a limerick has like structure and stuff too. I think, or like at least there's craft that I can understand. Maybe this is so far above, beyond what I can understand. So I can't truly appreciate it from a four year old. Yeah. But like,

I don't know. Free verse poetry is difficult for me to, some of them are amazing, but yeah. Well, sometimes I read poetry and I'm like, you're full of shit. Right.

You know, it's like, yeah, you think you're being deep, but this is all horse shit. Right. Yeah. I'm going to say that to that four year old when I see him.

I'll buy his book and wipe my butt with it. but this is all horse shit. Right. I'm going to say that to that four-year-old when I see him. I'm just kidding. I'm going to buy his book and wipe my butt with it. Yeah, as someone who's got a child on the way, that's the one thing I am not looking forward to is having to look at their art and be like, yeah, that's great, even though it sucks. Right. My friend DC, Dan Collins, he said to his dad when he used to bring him home artwork, at their art and be like yeah that's great even that sucks right yeah my friend my friend dc dan

It's okay. Well, that's what Aaron... When Aaron laughs or when Aaron gives a compliment, you know it's for real. Yeah. There's no horsing around. Guys, should we answer some...

oh interesting yeah i like getting them a little more aggressive right i feel like they really help you in final circle. If you get that far, you can really if you need to make a push in a direction that might be really difficult otherwise, you can get it done. Dude, I'm looking forward to this weekend, man. Me too. It's going to be nice to get out of L.A. And then are you guys staying Friday and Saturday?

Dude, you've got to come over to Joe's on Saturday after we golf. Yeah, of course, of course. Rage by the pool. Are you going to where are you staying? I want to invite everyone. I'm staying at Joe's. If it wasn't my place

I'd be inviting everyone. Oh, Joe has a spot? Yeah, he got an Airbnb. It's nice. I don't know. I want you to come out, Chad. I want you there. Dude, I love Palm Springs.

I mean, if you come out in the afternoon on Saturday. Yeah, that'd be really nice. Yeah. I love the desert. I like the desert, too. It's going to be hot as fuck, though. It's summer desert time. Usually you go to the desert and like fall.

It's going to be in the hundos. Yeah. But we're playing early. We're playing at 8. We're playing about as late as you'd want to go out. You're playing golf? Mm-hmm. Oh, we're playing 8 a.m.?

8.20. Damn. We have to. Otherwise, you can't do it. Because you just burn up? Mm-hmm. Are we playing 9 or 18? 18 is the plan, but if we need a bail, we can bail.

Are you getting an Airbnb? Yeah, I got one. And it just happened to be the same time that Joe is going to be out there. Nice. Joe invited me on a whim, and then I was like, oh, man. I hope he's not regretting it he seems like he's stoked on it that's great he got tested though

pretty confidently and then if we gave something to you you wouldn't even be contagious by the time you're out there yeah no I think you guys have been good dude pretty solid alright guys let's answer some cues fuck yes start off with this one i gotta sneeze

thank you dude legend oh i can't believe you can hold it dude chad's face is you do that was the best i don't know if i have to pull it you're gonna look at the light you ever do that trick you look at the sun when you have to sneeze? I've heard that it helps. All right. Let's start it off, guys. All right. This is from Karen. Do a show on dating and why my kids thought I was a racist.

Because on my profile, I said, please don't contact me if you any color except white. I said, not racist. Just don't want to waste a dude's time or mine. Hate time wasting. Life is short. You guys are great. Keep up the great work. What?

She says that her kids think she's racist because on her profile she put, don't contact me if you any color except white. And she says she's not white. She said she's not racist. She said she doesn't want to waste anyone's time. But I mean, you are being prejudiced because you're not liking people based on

the color of their skin. Yeah, why even put that out there? Yeah. Good on the kids for saying something. I'm like, in her head, is she justified? This is literally me trying to crawl around in her weird headspace. But, like, is she saying that she needs a white person for her product to look good because only, like, that's what the culture wants to see or something right now? I think she's only—I mean, I don't know why she's only interested in white men, but she's only interested in white men. Yeah, I think.

Yeah, if you're any color except white. Yeah, so only white men. And it's a dating thing? Or is it an advertising? No, it's her dating profile. Yeah, why would you... Okay, then what I just said is totally null and void. What the hell is she doing? Good on her kids for

calling her out. Yeah, let's take that off yeah like you don't want to waste anyone's time like it you're wasting other people's time it's like if you're on a dating app you're wasting like invariably that'll happen you'll waste people's times you know because you have to you'll talk to someone i mean i've had girls like i've messaged a girl seeing her like almost type of response yeah and then just decide not to like we're all hanging on the edge of continuing on and trying to get to know someone or pulling back and yeah invariably in that you're gonna waste people's times or give them expectations just the way it goes if you have to say i'm not being racist you're being racist yeah and yeah thanks for uh putting telling me what you don't want on your dating profile.

That makes me want to date you. So I can hear about more stuff you don't want. Yeah. As a white guy, if a girl on her dating profile is like, no black guys, please. I'm like,

skip. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to date someone like that. Yeah. Put what you do want. I want a guy who hates change. I want a guy who,

you know, right. Yeah. Make it more subtle. Be like, Hey, if you want to keep up the confederate statues swipe right yeah yeah yeah i love robert e lee's strategy um i love

that stuff i love uh you know the history specifically 1800s uh america uh yeah right at least get creative with your racism don't and me on the oldest thing in the world. Don't knock it until you try it. Yeah. Sup, boys? Got a real hypothetical for y'all. The crew is debating about last night over some beers. Say Joe's on Tinder and he's got his range set to 20 miles in search of the perfect gal who rocks Chirac beanies

and swipes right on a lovely lady 20 miles away. But say that Bears Love and Dream Girl only has her range set to 10 miles. Is the possibility of them matching even theoretically possible given that Joe does not appear within her range is big Joe hog, just uselessly wasting his time swiping on profiles that will never concurrently appear in his radius because Joe's outside of their own. Wrap your heads around that situation. Get back to me. Much love from Virginia beach,

dude. I mean, you know, you make a fair point but i think you're going too deep into it you know joe's spreading a wide net and he can't think about the possibility that someone's only doing a 10 mile range right go miles joe plus 10 miles that's going to reach him because his dong is approximately 10 miles long i 100 very good point and all you can control is what you can control you can't control how anyone else is going to set their range joe casts his net if there's lovely ladies swimming in it they're going to become in contact and maybe

love will spark you know for sure yeah that's interesting too i never even thought about that but i actually do think whatever your range is set at supersedes the other person's range if you're willing to drive to what their range is but i don't know that for sure but i only said that because my range was set to like 100 miles when I was at my horniest. And I can't imagine the people I was matching with in like Nevada had the same range that I did. That might get you to Nevada. That gets you past Santa Barbara, gets you to like San Jose.

Not quite Napa, but it gets you to like San Jose and it gets you past TGF. And by the way, we're exaggerating. We know our distances. I don't want guys to think we don't know distance we know distance i know distance i know where 100 miles will get you and i know where i won't get you all right i've done a lot of driving thank you when i'm driving and i got people in the car with me if i'm lost i say this place sure changed and i turn around and go back home i act like i didn't want to be there dude big time move big time move just commit to being correct if I didn't want to be there. Dude, big time move. Big time move.

Just commit to being correct. If I didn't say someone was the navigator and I'm driving, I go, this was your responsibility. You're the navigator. It's on you, not me. That's awesome. Done. Deflect. Yep.

Deflect. Send it to them. Go to an in and out drive through. Head home. I get loud. Smart. I'm right. Yep smart i'm right yep i'm right even if i'm wrong i get louder i'm right and i just i cut the conversation off i cut the nuts off of the conversation my go-to phrase no chance dude no chance tell him what your dad said about violence oh yeah dude my dad

this is a great quote and he would use it in context for everything you'd see something in the news like there's an argument between two people or even between me and my brother i'd be like oh dude andrew came down like punched me in the shoulder because i used his bike and like he didn't tell me i should use the bike and he's like well violence solves everything that's literally all he would say he goes two people are arguing this he well, violence solves everything. That's literally all he would say. He goes, two people are arguing this. He goes, yeah, violence solves everything. That's the only answer. And when someone's giving you shit, it's back and forth.

Sure, you can go ahead. You can give this or give that. The only true correction is going to be violence. Amazing story. The guy's unbelievable, dude. What up, chad and jt huge fan of the pot i go to business school in north carolina and there are a lot of toxic bros in my program who've been killing my stoke not only that they walk around without their masks on i don't want to be rude or anything but there is a global pandemic going on right now what should i do to show them the

light thanks jerry that's tough dude i mean you know it's tough to to tell people to do things they don't want to do which is what we've learned in the past three weeks um but you know i found that if you lead with stoke you set an example you hold your ground you're gonna inspire other bros to do the same because if you're rocking a mask, there's going to be some dudes out there who are on the fence and are like, I don't know if I want to wear a mask. I feel kind of weird because there's lots of bros who aren't wearing masks. But if you're standing strong and you're rocking that mask,

then you're going to inspire other dudes who are on the fence to do the same. So I would say, you know, and also, you know, we are in a pandemic. So if people get in your space and they're not rocking a mask, say, dude, back up.

Back up. Back up. Should we practice that right now? Yeah. All right, I'll be one of the toxic bros. Hey! What up, dude? Dude, back up a little bit.

You got a rubber I could borrow? Can you back up a little bit? I need a rubber. Six feet, dude. Oh, my bad, dog. Do you have a rubber I could borrow? I have a rubber for your face. Will that keep a girl from getting pregnant?

It'll keep you from getting coronavirus, sir. You're a responsible, mature bro, dude. I'm glad you're in this house. Of course, dude. Thank you. For sure. Thanks, bro. That's fucking amazing that was beautiful

it happens like that all the time that's the thing people don't think it works like that it can work like that it does work like that it will work like that yeah that was great that's amazing dude that was beautiful speaking specifically to the toxicity of the bros too something you can do show them art art can change people's minds. You know, like me and Chad always talk about, like Roger Ebert said, film is a vehicle for empathy. Puts you in another person's shoes that you wouldn't ordinarily walk in their shoes.

You throw on some Moonlight. You throw on some sensitive, you know, Squid and the Whale. You throw on some Thelma and Louise. You throw on just good-ass movies that come from, you know, maybe some foreign films. You know, little You Too, Mama, Tambien. Hell, yeah. Just open up some domes, dude.

And then maybe throw Outbreak at the end so we can circle back to the pandemic. Good call. And then maybe a little Contagion. I think Contagion will really. Contagion, yeah. I watched Outbreak, and I was like, was like you know no we know now i'm like these guys know nothing about pandemics yeah it's a little cheesy yeah yeah yeah d hoff though bro he's great in it it's a little different pan it's like different you know yeah outbreaks

novelty they got to find the monkey yeah you got to get that monkey but contagion is literally just like kind of like watching what we were going through in march you're like whoa yeah yeah but dude that was a beautiful example you guys led by and you know what you tapped into something chad by saying leading by example that jt and i were talking about when we were um jt was hitting the bells and i was just doing some dumbbells the other day in an outdoor workout and we were talking about leading by example and it's like we use this sort of party analogy where i'm like you know you can't tell someone to wear a mask. I can't tell someone I'm going to have a party. Oh dude,

come to my party. I'm gonna have so many good beers there, like light beers and like heavier beers and like hearty. And like the, the music, I play good music at my party. Like, trust me,

dude, my music is sick at my party. Like it's amazing. But no, if you start partying and you start just listening to the music you like listening to and playing the brew games you like playing, people are going to see that and they're going to be like, I want to fucking party like that.

Yeah. You know what I mean? So if you're wearing a mask, you're doing it right, you're distancing, you're setting your boundaries, people are going to be like, all right, that's fucking tight. And maybe I want to be a part of that. That's what's up. It's nice.

Love that. And dude, you know what's a movie that you should watch is Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Oh, I heard that was good. I got to watch that. Dude, I'm going to watch that this week. That's what's up, dude. That's on the list.

Are you going to watch that with your lady? Yes. I think my GF already watched it alone, which I might have been gaming. She's been crushing movies alone. Dude, you got two fire movies to watch with this girl, dude. Yeah, we're going to watch Palm Springs while we're in Palm Springs. Palm Springs is good. I loved it.

Fun Palm. Did you know anything about it going in? No. Neither did I. I loved it. And it was fun to it going in? No. Neither did I. I loved it. It was fun to watch because I was like, what?

I'm looking forward to that. I love what factors. A big what is huge. Aaron, did you see it? No, I haven't yet. Oh, dude. What's your excuse, dude? What are you doing, dude?

Behind the cultural eight ball, dog. Where were you at? Five guys? Yeah, dude. Behind the cultural eight ball, dog. Where were you at? Five guys? Yeah, dude. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Aw, dude. I was watching Showgirls.

Aw, dude. That's sick, dude. Dude, that's sick, dude. Fire, right? Dude, Aaron, yeah, what up, dude? Hell yeah. Nice. Schmold Dog. What's up, bros? Hope you're keeping safe during these precarious times.

I'll get straight to it. So my mom is visiting me here in Cali from NYC. It's cool and all to see her as it's been a while, but she brought her dog, K-9, who happens to be a total schmold dog. I love dogs and all, but I've never met one quite like this. There's legit something up in his dome. He's basically going full tilt 24-7. He can't ever just chill. Damn, dude. He's one of those little white fluff dogs that usually make a good companion lap dog,

which is what my mom originally appropriately wanted. He's also always horny. His dong is always out of his dong sheath. It's hard to just chill and watch a movie because Finn is on a perpetual mission to get his dick wet. Please help, SC. Sounds like this dog's a Bichon, dude. You know, like a little white fluffy dog. I had a Bichon.

That was a female and it still humped and it was spayed. So what I would do, honestly, like literally you'd get up from the couch, like you put your arm down to get up from the couch. The dog would see your arm, dude, latch on and immediately just start drilling your arm. It was a female, dude. So I think those dogs have a heavy sex drive just maybe you know give it a little pillow or a little something that it can drill you know with its red rocket and then um go play with it as much as you can i mean you got to give

a little bit give that dog a little bit of energy tire it out so this way when you're watching a movie in the evening it's not going to have too much energy but those little dogs have a lot of energy dude it's just the way they're built yeah and also i i would you know try not to you know try and grow up this beef and eat it with this dog i mean yeah wait the things that you're describing sound kind of hilarious like it's red rockets are always out he's just humping non-stop i mean that's the funniest dog humping is the funniest shit i've ever seen yeah like change your perspective on it. Yeah. Like be fired up on it.

Be proud of that dog. Yeah. Yeah. Just think, yeah. Just be like, dude, you're hilarious. And he's like, fuck, I know, dude. Yeah. Open an Instagram account for this dog.

Like whatever his name is, Humps. Good call. Yeah. Finn Humps, dude. Called like Finn Virility 24-7. Yeah. Yeah, dude. And then let the dog inspire you too. Like there's stuff the dog can learn from you, but there's stuff you can learn from that dog. Yeah. Yeah. And then, and then let the dog inspire you to like,

there's stuff the dog can learn from you, but there's stuff you can learn from that dog. You know what I mean? Like the way the dog's open about having its fucking red rocket out and about just humping away and like showing what it's attracted to, which, you know, in takes a fair amount of vulnerability.

Like you should learn from that, you know what I mean? Not to do that, but to like take that spirit. That's a good point. What's making that little dog horny, you know might not just be treats might be whatever movie you're watching like are you watching freaking you know something romantic like before sunrise or something like that oh wow yeah dogs are and the dogs looking at vienna and it's like what is this city

you know what i mean yeah is this majestic you know is there water in vienna uh there's some dank fountains and shit for sure i know that is there a river that runs through vienna there probably is i think there is dude it's in austria i've been to vienna dude luckily fortunately but i uh it's nice yeah yeah it might be the danube i want to get a beer in like germany it's so nice dude i had one i would that's what was danube dude fire call nice to say nothing of the donos canal the dono canal yeah dude that that freaking little bijon looking at the danube dude it's going i want to go down there i want to waltz with some it wants to be in that water yeah dude i would spritz and i would you know maybe modify your approach to the dog because

you're coming at the dog right now it it sounds like, with low stoke. And high judgment. Yeah. My GF's parents, their dog is very temperamental. It'll freak out easily. When it sees new people, it freaks. Right. And they're like, you don't even want to go near Lizzie.

She's going to freak out on you. And I'm like, I'm going to leave full love, full stoke. She loves me. And they're like, how is Lizzie like, how are you like the only person that Lizzie will like snuggle with? I'm like, full stoke. Yeah. Full love. So if you have that energy within you where you're just like, I'm all love, that's going to affect the dog in a positive way.

Yeah. And the dog's out of its environment like you said and sometimes anxiety and horniness are linked so the dog might be extra anxious therefore extra horny dude yeah luckily it's not aggressive horniness is a nice you know if it's a little 10 pound animal not that you know crazy of a trait to have you know luckily it's not biting or you know barking all the time yeah and you know what you know, luckily it's not biting or, you know, barking all the time. Yeah. And you know what, you know, what makes it a situation that you're not fond of more easy to deal with if you do it with homies and you got to be careful with that, you know, in the time of Corona, but like maybe you invite over a lady you like, and you guys

do some outdoor social distancing date hang. And then you and her both observe the dog and laugh at how cuckoo bananas it is. And then all of a sudden this is something that's bonding you. And now you're reframing the way you think about the dog and laugh at how cuckoo bananas it is. And then all of a sudden this is something that's bonding you. And now you're reframing the way you think about the dog. It's not just, you know, this nuisance. Now it's an agent for you to get closer to other people.

Yeah. That's a great call. That's a great, great call. You can invite over like seven homies. Y'all get distanced up. Y'all mass up. And then you just watch the dog hump.

I mean, my friends, we used to watch my dog hump constantly. It was like one of the go-tos in our social life was just watching taz go to town on one of our butts yeah that's almost it was the best clothed yeah he was always clothed and he was still able to excuse me pardon the french jizz yeah he just despite the fact that he was neutered yeah no balls and he just he defied science dude his beast his horniness was more powerful than science. Rest in power, Taz. Yeah.

He was, dude. How big was his load? I don't know. Fat. Peter North. Peter North of dog loads. Taz Bo. What up, council?

First, I just want to say you guys are national treasures. When it's all said and done, I have no doubt you guys will have the Presidential Medal of Freedom hanging from your necks and a Nobel Peace Prize sitting in your trophy collection. Thank you. Wow, dude. Pleasure. And if the state of California can just bone up and unite a statue, each of you will be erected alongside the great Paul Walker. Oh, man.

Wow, dude. That's really nice. Anyways, I apologize if my questions are all over the place. I just really need your wisdom. I just turned 27 recently and I'm on my 12th wave of quarter-life crisis. My first question is, have you guys ever gone through something like this and how do you turned 27 recently and I'm on my 12th wave of quarter life crisis. My first question is, have you guys ever gone through something like this and how do you deal with it? I'm definitely not saying my life is terrible or anything like that. I have a decent nine to five job. I hang out with my dogs on the weekends. I have an actual dog, a one-year-old

Corgi that is an absolute sweetheart. And I like to keep my body in a solid above average shape. So yeah, I'm not saying I hate my life. It's just, I thought I would be doing bigger and better things at this age. There's also the lack of a GF. My last real relation was back in senior year of high school. I had a handful of flings and casual ventures in college and post-college, but nothing serious or official came about it. I try not to let it get to me, but it's starting to affect my self-confidence, which then makes the situation worse because girls sense the lack of confidence,

which turns them off and then just perpetuates this loop of non-stokeness. You guys seem like confident, self-assured fellows. My second question is, how did you get to that level, and what are some go-to confidence boosters you guys have? And my last question is, how to do with conversations. You guys are elite-level conversationalists. I feel like y'all can keep the conversation going with each other and with other guests for hours and hours.

I'm trying to get to that level. My question is, do you guys have a certain mindset going to conversations? Is it like a conscious thing, or do you just let it flow off the top? Thanks again for taking the time to read. Do you guys want to break this up into bits? Because you've got a lot of cues in here, but I think they're all valuable. So his first thing is, have you guys ever been through something like a quarter-life crisis? Yeah.

First thing I noticed is he has a mindset focused on lack. It's focused on what he doesn't have. And you can't think that way. You can't focus on what you don't have because you got to take a step back and think about what you do have. And, you know, every morning, think about that. Think about what you're grateful for in your life and you'll realize how much you do have. You know, and life is just a constant work in progress so be grateful for what you do have and that's gonna that's gonna like transform your

energy to sort of a it's gonna make you happier it's gonna make you sort of see uh the universe as a place of abundance which it is like you will get a gf you will get a promosh you you have excellent times ahead of you so you know don't worry about what you don't have be appreciative of what you do have right now but also have the mindset of everything that you do in your life moves it forward so sort of have that where you're like every try to think every decision but also have your relaxation but try to think every decision i'm like okay is this moving me forwards or backwards is this moving me towards what i want or not and i think that's a good approach to take for sure we're i mean as far as the conversation standpoint dude i mean we're all best bros talking on a

podcast and we have like jt sends articles to talk about so we know what we're going on so a little compare and despair there i've been in plenty of conversations that have gone and i know where it's edited too yeah so don't compare yourself to the pod or whatever like dude it sounds like you dude you're an interesting guy you'll have fun things to talk about and sounds like maybe you're what you said you're 27 maybe you graduated college what 21 22 you started out doing a job you weren't that fired up on it and so now you're thinking what's the next step yeah baby line it up let's go fuck yeah um my dog's pouring me some wine right now in case you're just listening and not watching on youtube so i'm fired up on that but um yeah i did i think chad nailed it dude you have you have things that are of value and maybe you want to be more conversationalist i mean dude

don't be afraid of like joining toastmasters which is like this thing that you know they it sounds lame but like they work on public speaking if that's something that's into you dude you know get like and that could be even a fun hobby or a fun group to get on like aaron plays softball and crushes it you know you join a softball team you do something fun and the more you do that interests you genuinely is going to lead to a gf jt was talking about this lady that's into trains like trains it makes me think of a grandpa or dad but then you think of like someone who's passionate about it you can make anything sound cool like a dank movie like cedar rapids red helms talk is about being an insurance agent it makes it cool like

whatever you're into if you're passionate about it that's great so and you know finding your passion is tough sometimes and uh don't be too hard on yourself while you do it and enjoy the journey while you can you know of course pay the bills but uh you know things will fall where they are my dog yeah and i think 27 is one of those points where you're like you're just growing out of like wanting to rage all the time and like really focus on being like a full adult human being who's accomplishing things but you're still learning you know what i mean so you have all this energy to accomplish things but you don't really have like an outlet yet to fully accomplish them and that's everybody that's happening to everybody

except for a few exceptions who you just can't compare yourself to. There's just anomalous people who just skyrocket up. And like, I learned to just not compare myself to those people. Cause like, they're just freaks of nature, but most of us, we're just grinding at that point. You know what I mean? And we're, we're figuring it out. And, and yeah, I think a lot like Chad's mindset is so, is so ripe for growth. I think if if you can if you can try to like put yourself there like something i was hearing this crossfit guy talk about that i'm i was going to talk about later is like don't treat every situation like a pass fail because i do that and then you're like i fucked that up i fucked that up i should have done better i should have done

it's like no every experience you're just learning from and if you go into every experience just been like oh this is something i could learn from then you're never really going to lose. You know what I mean? So then even if you do lose, you're like, Oh, but I learned from it. So I'll be better the next time. And then, or I'll have more fun the next time. And then, and then it'll just make life a little bit more easy going for you. Cause I, cause I think you're smart and you're just really being hard on yourself, you know? Yeah. Like you, you're going to get to where you want to be, you know what I mean and you're probably closer than you think

so yeah maybe just enjoying like Chad said what you do have and then just incremental improvement baby you don't become a world champion the next day like Jordan he had to lose a couple times in the playoffs to get there you know

I wouldn't even worry about confidence no one's confident it's all repetition that's what it is in the playoffs to get there. I wouldn't even worry about confidence. No one's confident. It's all repetition. That's what it is. Like JT said, you take a growth mindset, you learn. You're like, I'm going to learn every day.

If there's things you want to improve at, it's repetition. Conversation, I don't really like to talk, honestly. I come on the podcast all the time and'm just like i'm out yeah i'm like i'm like oh man this is gonna be a tough one yeah yeah like i've never been a big conversationalist but like starting to do the podcast i was like all right this is something i gotta learn how to do so you just work at it and you just do it over and over and over and then it'll improve whether you know it or not so it's just um yeah like i never could have thought i'd do a podcast no like i was like no all right well chad that takes us to the next thing what is your beef of the week my dog

you know i was gonna improv it because um, we had a busy day. Yeah. It messes up our things. My beef of the week is the fragility of bracelets. Oh, that's a great one. Because the friendship bracelet? Yeah. Yeah, mine busted too. Yeah.

You know, it's like... Well, first off, the way they make bracelets, you know, the way you put them on and you adjust them and there's all these weird things dangling you know it gets uncomfortable and annoying it's like why can't you make one that just like secures nicely around your wrist and you know it's good there why do you have to make it so technical like what's going on with that i said i feel like they just complicate bracelets so much you know it's so hard to find a cool bracelet and i like a good bracelet i knew i loved a good bracelet when i saw paul walker holding the

shift knob and fast and furious one and he had a rubber band around his wrist or maybe it's just a regular bracelet and i'm like that's fucking cool yes and i'm like i want to do that but it's so hard to find a bracelet as cool as that yeah very true i don't know what's going on and they just you know you get one that falls off and you're like you know i feel like my whole life is like the pursuit of the bracelet and it's like would you ever step it up to an anklet or is that a step down or what how do you feel about anklets um you know i had an anklet phase the summer of i had an anklet phase the summer of 2009, but I realized that's just not my steez.

I was like, maybe if I was in a different area code. Yeah, for sure. The tough guy's got to slide in on this one. Anklets no bueno. You can't be rocking an anklet. I mean, if you're Prince, if you've got a top five sellinglet. I mean, if you're Prince, if you got like a top five selling like R&B album, maybe.

Other than that, anklets are a no-go. You got to earn the right. You got to jump over some major fucking hoops. But Tough Guy, what if you're starring in Blue Crush? If you're in Blue Crush, you can wear as many anklets as you want. That was a wonderful film. Yeah, that taught me a lot about determination and big wave surfing. But tough guy, what if you went to summer camp and you kind of had a cool experience that summer?

I mean, if you met a cool counselor and he was wearing one and then he encouraged you to wear one, I'd let that die at summer camp. I wouldn't bring that back to the regular world. It's like some of your friendships at summer camp you think are going to survive. And unfortunately, they don't. That's just the reality of it. All right? You're on like a Coke buzz out there.

Things are getting heightened. You're feeling all sorts of vulnerable and open. And it's just a different reality. But yeah, you don't bring anklets home. What if you're from NorCal, where I feel like anklets might be ubiquitous up there? I don't know, but it's just a feeling. Yeah, yeah. I took a drive through NorCal once.

And I left, and I was soft all over. My whole body was like gooey. You could have punched through me with a pencil. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, NorCal's different. They do things the wrong way up there. Tough guy. I saw someone criticizing your six-foot Coke straw.

What'd they say? They said it looked too difficult to do. Oh, that's probably too difficult for you, pal, whoever said that. Yeah. Because you're not a tough guy. You don't know what it means to socially distance and do Coke at the same time. It takes determination, dedication, and a strong lung system. All right. So don't tell me what I'm capable of. All right. It's possible and it needs to be done to protect the people we care about. When I do cocaine,

I do it safely. Thank you. Tough guy. I heard instead of when you do cocaine and having a mirror to look at yourself in and like kind of trip out on, you look a self like a weaker version of yourself yeah you have like a picture of that motivation yeah it makes me makes me snort harder because i look at that weakling that kid who could barely snort you know i used to do little dinky like nail bits of like you know gummas and like little baby bumps and then as i grew older i said come on step it up tough guy get yourself a real snort and uh yeah so i look at that little coward and i look at him and you know his necklace is covered in his next covenant necklaces and anklets and shit he's a fucking cool kid he was in a prince cover band to make a full circle uh tough guy if you're in a club and someone asks if you want to

do a key bump how do you respond i say you better have a big fucking key. Is it a key for a fucking John Deere trailer? You know, one of those big ass keys? What's the circumference? Better be four by four, baby. Because I'm looking to mow your entire farm and I'm hoping it's a lot of acreage. So give me a big key.

Give me a big, big key. I'm fucking, I'm fiending. To be honest with you, I've been kind of fiending lately. It's been a problem. Blowing up my dealer's phone number so much the fucking guy needs a break he's like hey man tough guy relax are you still is donnie still your guy yeah donnie's my dealer great guy yeah he's a good dude he asked me he's like hey are you dealing coke because you're doing so much and i said no

you know i don't deal i give it away for free baby yeah you got to take care of people um strider what's your what's your beef of the week all righty my beef of the week and this is gonna make me sound like an old man to some degree but i just been moving into a nice dank new abode with me my gfr new apartment and it's on the third floor and i'm fired up about that and a huge reason why i'm fired up about being on the third floor of a three-story building is it's the top floor, right? Turns out some kids in this building, kids in their 20s probably, because I'm sounding like an old man, like to go up to the roof and smoke pot

and look at the stars and the palm trees and maybe observe Griffith Observatory. And, you know, one of them even had the audacity to bring a Beats Dre pillbox up there and enjoy some reggae tunes. Don't get me wrong. I love reggae, but I don't love it past 1030 at night, just past quiet hours. So my beef is on these young kids partying on the roof of my goddamn building. God damn it. Have you said anything to them? Absolutely not.

I fear confrontation. I hate being judged and I need people to like me. There's no way I could ever do that in any world. I could never go up there. If I went up there, I'd be like, hey guys, what's up? Bob Marley. Ziggy Marley. Should we practice you telling these kids to relax?

That might be a nice exercise, yeah. They might know you. They might go up and be like, Strider? And you're like, yeah. They might be a fan, dude, yeah. That'd be sick, but then they'd be like, oh, you're a buster? Oh, now you're a buster and we hate you. Chad, do you want to be like one of the kids, and I'll be one of the kids too,

but I'll also do the reggae music? Could you be loved? There we go. I'm coming up to the third floor.'ll be one of the kids too, but I'll also do the reggae music Could you be loved? I'm coming up to the third floor Dude, look at these stars, bro Dude, if you see a star, that means that star is exploding Like literally spitting its guts out into the universe, bro Hey, that's cool Hey guys, sorry to break up the party

whoa dude for real hey fuckers hey you fuckers. Hey, you fuckers. I'm trying to... I live... You're stomping eight feet above my head. Honestly, I'm 6'3". I love height. You guys are stomping three feet above my head when I'm standing up. Guys, got to keep it down. It's 1030.

Fuckers. Hey. Why? You look 6'2 and two and change yeah that's accurate you got a good eye do you play high school's ball or something like that not just a fan hey dude are you strider wilson i am you can know me i know you're a fucking buster dude oh dude nice one i didn't't know Strider Wilson was a fucking lean off

look at this I think it's time to bail dude are you guys smoking Yoda's brain is that what you're smoking right now is that G13 shit yeah I know my weed

you smoke not really but I got some friends who hit it good that's okay dude you want to hop on apollo dank teen sounds tight but honestly dude i want to hop on it before 10 p.m if that's chill with you guys that's chill yeah that's cool because i mean honestly dude the star coverage still dark out you're gonna be able to see the stars just and I appreciate the reggae music

but maybe if you guys didn't walk around so much when you blazed which is kind of an interesting thing to do usually you would sit stationary

but it seems like you guys like to move around when you blaze why is that I mean I just like to feel Bob Marley in my bones

dude oh you like to dance yeah when I get baked I I get ambulatory, dude. For me, it's all about just kinetic feeling, bro. I'm just out in the world, and I'm just expressing myself, dude. I love that. Physically. I'd like to learn more about that tomorrow night at 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Does that sound chill? Yes. Thank you, and I'm sorry for calling you guys fuckers earlier. Dude, it's all good, dude. Dude, Strider. What up? Stay stoked, dude. Dude, stay stoked. Thank you so fuckers earlier. Dude, it's all good, dude. Dude, Strider. What up? Stay stoked, dude. Dude, stay stoked.

Thank you so much, dude. Air five. Aw, dude. You slicked back through the lock? Aw, dude. Aw, yeah. Socially distance, though, dude. Back up.

For sure, for sure, for sure. All right, that was helpful, yeah. I think you can talk to these kids. I think you just got to take it to them direct. You just got to go up there and be like, hey, guys, I need less. And they're just like, boom, dude, that's it. I need less.

It's constant. It's too much. I need less. Do I drop the rules on them or do I? I think you're right. But there's a sign that says, dude, it's like a fire escape exit. And they put a cone there and a cinder block. It's two doors that they propped open so they can just get out there all the time.

I thought about being passive-aggressive and just moving it, but I'm not that much of a buster. I wouldn't get bogged down in the details. I would just tell them straight up, it's too much. This is my truth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or just be like, move it on down elsewhere.

You could be like, I have work early in the morning. I'm trying to sleep right now. The music is in my dome. It's a good call. Socially distance your speakers or just turn it down. And people respect that. Yeah, don't be too empathetic to them. Because I would tell most people to be more empathetic,

but I think you're so empathetic that I think you'll give it like three minutes. You'll step into their perspective too much. Hey, guys, I know you guys are just trying to have a you'll, you'll give it like three minutes of you'll like, you'll, you'll step into their perspective too much, but Hey guys, I know you guys are just trying to have a good time. And I totally get that. It's good to have a good time. But I think at that point you're,

you gotta be more like, just like, nah, dudes, Hey, look, yeah, it's,

it's too much. And, and how do you say that? I think by just being like, yeah, yeah, just, yeah.

And then if they're dicks, we talk about on the pod, it's good fodder. True. Like if, if someone emailed, if someone emailed about this, I'd be like, you know what? Just tell them straight up, stop. And then let they're dicks, we talk about it on the pod. It's good fodder. True. If someone emailed about this, I'd be like, you know what? Just tell them straight up, stop. And then let's see what happens. Because then we're going to have

some good stuff on the bounce back. It's on. Alright. I'm going to do it. Are you going to talk to them? Will you make a commitment on the pod to talk to them? Alright. Next time I hear them, I'm going up there. Yeah. Going up there. And I'm going to let them know I'm going to say this. Nice, dude. Guys. And do it your way. I just want you to do it. Yeah. Guys, can't be up there. Yeah. Going up there. And I'm going to let him know I'm going to say this. Nice, dude. Guys.

And do it your way. I just want you to do it. Yeah. Guys, can't be up here. I mean, you're just stomping around a little bit. It's not chill.

It's kind of brutal. Can you guys keep it down? Yeah. And then I'm going to leave. That's perfect. That's perfect. And I'm going to leave. Yeah.

I'm going to wait for an answer. Yeah, that's good. Just turn around and go. Yeah. And if they keep doing it, put on your tack glasses and come up and just square up. Oh, that's a just turn around and go yeah yeah and if they keep doing it put on your tack glasses and come up and just square up oh that's a fire call 100 dude the tack glasses at night are you kidding me i actually have night vision inserts that i can put in there do you yeah they

come with night vision like driving ones yeah they're yellow i can put them in dude yeah that's amazing dude if i saw if i was stoned and I saw someone in night vision tech glasses I would freak out yeah that would have spooked them for sure yeah amazing they're getting hit by like a Navy SEAL team Aaron what's your beat for the week my beat for the week

is with Paul Verhoeven the director but only from 1995 to 1997 I've recently Is with Paul Verhoeven, the director. Yeah, the legend. But only from 1995 to 1997. I've recently seen two movies that I missed. Actually, I went to the theater to see Starship Troopers when it was out originally. Great movie.

I was rejected because I was not of age. I think I was 15. It's a very rated R movie, too. and then a friend of ours well this guy that my friend brought with us uh got arrested that night for smashing the light bulb in a in a uh payphone which don't exist anymore nice but uh so i've never seen that movie we my friends and i swore we would never see it we would just the story would always be we've never seen that movie i finally saw it and i saw showgirls those are horrible movies oh you didn't like starship troopers no what oh i love starship troopers is dope dude

it's supposed to be like no ridiculous you didn't like casper vandy what about the football scene what about you kill bugs but good dude oh dude what The Knife in the Hand? No. Yeah. What about Neil Patrick Harris? No. What about the fucking alien that sticks the thing in your head and sucks out your brain juice? Yeah. Yeah.

It's Busey's kid, dude. The aliens and the effects were really good. Sure. Did not expect that. For what it was, I was like, for as bad as the acting is, I was like, there's no way the bugs are going to look good. Look great. Still hold up.

Isn't the acting bad on purpose? Yeah. It's like on purpose bad. I don't think the actors know they're bad on purpose, but I think Paul Verhoeven casted bad actors on purpose. Yeah. Knowing that they would be like, they would feel like they were in propaganda just because they'll act like so stiff.

Yeah. I think that all could have been accomplished in a better way. And then when it came to showgirls, he has since said, I am sorry, I've ruined Elizabeth Berkley's career. It's all on me. It's not her fault. She was doing the best she could. And I told her to be super fucking weird. Have you seen SNL when they make fun of them back then? No. It's like a Western and then all the girls just start making out after every scene.

It's perfect. I mean, he's a very smart guy. He's a great director. I love RoboCop. Total Recall's great. Basic Instinct's fine. Black Book's good, yeah. I haven't seen Black Book or Elle, but those are really hot.

People love Elle. It's a controversial plot. Yeah. So it's not like he's a bad filmmaker, but I just think he went through some some bad choices there dude this just hit me is the main guy in starship troopers luke from the oc no but they look just alike yeah and i get to van dean and i forget what luke's name is they both definitely played water polo at some point there's no question about that luke honestly might have

the best performance in season one of the oc whoever that actor is yeah he's amazing chris carmack yeah he's great you know ryan former abercrombie model do you guys find ryan kind of annoying of course he's good in the pilot and then he's downhill from there yeah it just is like he nailed the pilot and then you're just like what? You know, because he kind of wasn't right for that part. He kind of actually isn't a bad boy. The parts that he got later where he kind of plays like a kind of nebbishy cop is more his steez. Yeah. And I think it was enough in the pilot to get away with it, but then after a while, you're like, he's not that jacked.

He's not really a bad boy. Yeah. Like, Seth Cohen is the sarcastic, like, art-lo is the sarcastic like art loving cutie so good yeah so good yeah like summer is the hot unattainable girl who's got a spicy personality yeah yeah but musica barton is a troubled yeah yeah she actually is yeah dude yeah she yelled at me at valet once really really yeah when she came in it wasn't even my fault like uh she left her car there overnight and she comes in and she called ahead which some people do hey can you bring up this ticket number and have it ready to go my like uber friend drops

me off and like another valet brought it up and like there's two areas where you can put the keys and it was my it was my bad for not checking the one area first but i just went straight to like the ticket queue where the overnights works i knew it was an overnight but he put them up on like the circle box which would have been a quicker step and usually he would have been able to handle it but for some reason i just like ended up handling it and she was like oh my god what's taking so long and like literally for me to check like where the overnights are in the circle box is like maybe 12 seconds and uh but who knows who knows who was you know who knows what was going on in her day or whatever she probably came out of an experience

that she didn't like or something but anyway was like just yelling at me and like wasn't my bad for being there and like all the valets and it wasn't busy so it was like just her up there and like nothing was going on so it kind of like exacerbated the situation of making us look like we don't know what we're doing as a valet crew yeah and she's like all of you are like standing here like doing nothing and it's like well we don't need that many chefs to do this job like i just need to figure it out and i did in 12 seconds and then she i come up to her car and i'm like well the overnight charge is 50 bucks and she's left her car there before she's like what and i was like well i've like i'm like i didn't say this but my head i'm like i've literally charged you this before you know this and she's like and my

window's down and i was like well i roll it down to hear stuff when i just left it up it's not raining it's like it's 8 30 a.m it's so cal like it's already 72 degrees it's okay and uh but i didn't say anything of course and i remember i was being like whoa yeah she seems like she she was troubled um i'm sorry but she's been nice other times so you know actors are mercurial yeah they go up they go down that's what makes them special on camera although she wasn't a very good actress yeah she was kind of bad i was gonna say the two in my two, and I guess circling back to any sort of point I was making was Ryan Atwood, aka whatever that actor's name is. Benjamin McKenzie.

Benjamin McKenzie and Mishka Barton, Marissa, were like the worst parts of that show. And they were the two heavies. Yeah. The dad was great. Great dad. Oh, dude. Peter Gabriel. Amazing, dude.

Yeah. Dude, those eyebrows. Peter Gallagher did those eyebrows impressive all you need are the eyebrows you don't need anything else yeah that that that fucking that steals a scene right there and he sang in like season three they had an episode where they have like a kind of peach pit vibe it's like oh yeah like olivia wilde is that was the boost of her career yeah and then he sings and i was like i came into class the next day in the cultural geography, and I was like, that wasn't him fucking singing. And my teacher was like, that was him singing. He's a singer.

And embarrassed me in front of the whole class with my boast. Yeah. My wrongful boast. That was him singing, Gallagher, with the skill set. He's a beast. He's a beast. Yeah, he's just a good guy from the Bronx. Has empathy for Ryan.

And he's going to fight the good fight. He fights for the environment. He's from the Bronx. Has empathy for Ryan. Yeah. And he's going to fight the good fight. He fights for the environment. He's a public defender. He's a public, yeah. He's a beast. He's a good guy. He's a beast.

He's a good guy. Yeah. He serves. He loves to serve. Yeah. And the whole time, Jimmy's just like, oh, fuck, dude. You're losing his mind, dude. My fucking, dude.

What's going on, dude? The guy's like, hey, can I have my money back? Let's talk to you about it tomorrow, dude. Yeah, that's a great scene, yeah. Jimmy, I'm tired of tracking you down. I need my money back. Yeah. My college tuition, my retirement.

You thief! That's what keeping up with the Joneses will do to you. Dude, my beef of the week is fruit smoothies. Whoa. Fruit smoothies, you little, I don't know, you little make-believe, you know, magic pixie dream smoothies. Like, you make me think that you're healthy for me. You make me think that you won't do damage to my physique. I drink you every day acai, blueberries, banana, whey protein, immunity shot.

And what do you do to me? You make my stomach bulge. give me fat dude i was drinking them every day and i thought i was burning them off because i was working out hard you can't burn off those sugar factories dude they're not good for you jamba juice juice stop you're just full of it man don't market yourself as a health shop you're selling sugar bro you're fooling me I was shirtless the other day in a mirror, and yeah, I was around some jack dudes, so I had a little dysmorphia going on, but it was real. The stomach was bulging, and you're the culprit.

I know you are. Fruit smoothies, dude. Guys, don't fool yourself. You're getting fruit smoothies. You think you're being healthy? You're not being healthy, dude. You're just pounding sugar. What about juice? Juice, too. Fuck juice. healthy you're not being healthy dude you're just pounding sugar what about juice juice too fuck juice yeah whoa yeah it's gotta be it's gotta be like kale yeah i've noticed there's no blue drink or green drink oh really i think i don't even think those ones are as bad those

those those air one iterations we bring i mean chad's right like the the apple chad told me like he was like hey that green drink's got a lot of sugar in it i don't think the blue one does but the green one does. And so I'm more careful with how, you know, you still want to get those good vitamins that they give you in there, but the smoothie. Acai, you're not healthy. You're not healthy, acai. Everyone says it's a super fruit, though.

It's got a lot of antioxidants. It's got all that stuff. But if you go in a juice stop, they don't put how much sugar's in it. They give you all the other numbers. They don't tell you how much sugar is in it. They give you all the other numbers. They don't tell you how much sugar is in it. Cause they know once you know that, that the whole thing, the whole jig is up.

Yeah. It's over. You gotta think of a fruit as like a dessert, as a treat. Yeah. Cause that's what it's supposed to be. Uh, it's,

uh, yeah, it's not, uh, I'm hysterical. It's not gonna, it's not gonna, it's not gonna help. You know, abs are made in the kitchen. It's so true, dude. It's so true. It's not gonna, it's not gonna, it's not gonna help.

You know, abs are made in the kitchen. It's so true, dude. It's so true. It's the realest shit ever. But you gotta do crunches too. Word. You gotta do some crunches.

Chad, who's your baby of the week? My baby of the week is Peter Gallagher. Nice, dude. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, he just crushes it in that show. Yes, he does. it's Peter Gallagher nice dude oh yeah I mean he just crushes it in that show yes he does

I've been watching the OC again I'm on the first season episode 10 you know Ryan and Marissa just shared their first smooch on the Ferris wheel and Ryan the bad boy is scared of Ferris wheels okay Ryan the bad boy is scared of Ferris wheels. Okay. But Peter Gallagher, I keep wanting to say Gabriel,

Peter Gallagher just comes in in a clutch. You know, he just, he takes a job at a firm, but he's going to fight his wife over environmental issues. He's doing the right thing. He brought Ryan in. You know, he's a good guy. He cares about his family. He defends his wife over environmental issues. He's doing the right thing. He brought Ryan in. He's a good guy. He cares about his family. He defends his wife from her dad

because he can be kind of a jerk off. And then, it's all in the eyebrows, dude. I mean, his eyebrows are just like, they set me on fire. I love him. Yep. He's got those eyebrows.

They're winners, dude. Peter Gallagher, if you're listening. Let's go play croquet or something. That's a perfect sport. That'd be sick. I haven't played croquet in forever. That was more popular when I was young. Yeah, I haven't seen it.

It's not around anymore. Do you think cornhole replaced it? Yes. Cornhole's the best. Cornhole might be better. So much fun. Yeah. But croquet, the mallet is very exciting.

There's a croquet lawn doing valet. There's one in like off Wilshire in like Beverly Hills, kind of by Beverly Hills High School. There's one, there's like a little croquet lawn. Oh, nice. Who's your Baby of the Week strider? Baby of the Week's got to be my GF, dude. And I mentioned this earlier, and it's because of many things. But today, just today just while my gf was playing piano was so dank to see her do that dude and just rip this song that's legit she's taught herself three songs dude she memorizes them which

is legit because that's how her dang brain works and it's just so tight to see that so gotta be my gf for sharing her art with me and perfecting it and then showing it when she's ready and she does such a great job so So it's just nice. And, but there's also something like when I am listening to my GF play piano, that just seems so like, it just, it's very old fashioned feeling when you're sitting down and just like

listening to someone play piano. Like you can feel before there was so much media and Twitter and gaming on cod where it was like, if someone played piano or like a child that you know like parents parents are correct in telling your kids and i'll even tell my kids learn to play piano because when you're an adult and you realize someone can play piano it's amazing you're like that's fucking rad and speaking a second language dude it really is i look at the musical script that my girlfriend's reading i'm like holy shit you can do this that's amazing dude like hell yes and uh so it's just so cool and but it felt like old

fashioned like being in a quarantine and i was just sitting there of course i wanted to be like five feet away and watch her play but i just sat on the couch and listened i was like oh this is very nice did you give her a big smooch of course i gave her a smooch i clapped i stood up i clapped and made sure my neighbors heard and there's is a neighbor that teaches a kid to play pianos on like, luckily it's like noon on Saturday. I love my sleep. So it's okay. And the kid's making progress.

So it's nice. Nice, dude. But yeah. Got to be my GF baby of the week, dude. Fire. I'm fired up on people learning to play instruments. Yeah. It's nice to learn to play an instrument.

As a kid, you hate it, dude. My parents wanted me to play trombone with braces, dude. Are you kidding me? You literally have to smack this thing. As a kid, you hate it, dude. My parents wanted me to play trombone with braces, dude. You kidding me? You literally have to smack this thing like my gums would just bleed. I was horrendous at it. I remember I played Louie Louie once with the band at this music store. It did feel cool. When the band gets playing and you're a part of it,

it's a nice feeling. We should shout your brother's band out. What was the name of that band? Oh, Andrew? Ira's All Stars. Yeah, Ira Rabone was their music teacher. He was a music teacher at St. Margaret's. how your brother's band out what was the name of that band wait uh oh andrew ira's all stars yeah ira rabone was their uh music teacher and he was a music teacher at saint margaret's uh middle school and elementary school they went to and uh ira rabone was the music teacher there and he actually played with earth wind and fire for a little bit cool yeah that's awesome that's awesome so they were ira's all stars aaron who's your Baby of the Week?

There's just something so expressive about his face. He's a great actor, but he could easily be a character actor that's not elite. Yeah, that's what he feels like to me, but I liked him in The Americans a lot, though. Yeah, yeah. And him and Kerry Russell are married in real life. They met on that show like they had kids like they're married yeah yeah man that's a sweet story yeah yeah and he's just he can he can kind of fit in any time period he looked awesome in the show in the scenes where

he's in world war one and yeah that was amazing the production value on that hbo does it right yeah they really do i mean they got so many many Emmy nominations today for all their different shows. Yeah. It's crazy. There's a lot of great characters in that. I like the megachurch angle they're going for, or like the evangelist angle is pretty interesting. The terror revival, yeah, sort of stuff, yeah.

It's cool. Yeah. There's a lot of cool stuff. It's a little bit slow. What's your favorite HBO show last couple years? Watchmen, maybe? Dude, Watchmen was dope. I haven't seen Watchmen.

Reggie kind of like gave it the knockdown. Reggie was like, Damien Lindelof does the same thing every time. I was like, dude, I thought Watchmen was fire. I thought that thing was pretty beautiful. Yeah, Watchmen's like the first time Lindelof finished something. Yeah, the ending was satisfying. It tied all the threads together, I felt like. Ooh, maybe I'll watch it.

I'm looking for a show. Dude, it's really good. It's really good. And the movie's pretty bad. I'm like, so I steered me clear. I like the movie. It's a little vast. I've read the book. I liked it.

Yeah, that is true. There's a lot happening. It's a lot of sprawl, but not a lot of substance. That's a great call on that. I slept during the first time I saw it. There's a cool boning scene, though. Oh, the boning scene's good, yeah, with the Leonard Cohen song. Someone else is singing it, I think. It's the Buckley version or something.

Oh, the Jeff Buckley one? I think it's Hallelujah. Yeah. Trent Reznor does some fire music in that. Yeah. Trent Reznor's a beast. He's so good, dude. Yeah, Trent Reznor might have the two best songs of all time with Nine Inch Nails. Hurt is so good. And I like his version more than the Cash version, even though

I first got introduced to it through Cash. What's Animal? Oh, shit. Sorry. It's not I wanna fuck you, like Animal. Oh, Closer. Closer by the Snows. Yeah.

Dude, but Succession is so good. Yeah. I can't get it. It's an HBO show. What? I have to disagree on Succession. You guys don't like Succession? What?

I tried watching the pilot twice. I couldn't do it. No, the pilot's not good. You gotta get past it. I've seen bad pilots. I know that. Season one, episode four is when it starts clicking. Or episode five or something.

Stay in the pocket. When they do the bachelor party episode. That's the ep. That's the ep. Yeah. I just, yeah, there's no, my wife and I have watched the whole show and it's just not satisfying there's no one to root for it's

I don't know I didn't love it you don't root for them but you feel for them and the opening I've said that this was my beef before the opening actually the show itself has been my beef before but the opening sucks it's so long and boring damn dude but you know what I's so long and boring damn dude

but you know what i like that you and shredder united on this it's nice yeah yeah but i mean game of thrones is the best hbo show in recent years yeah that's not in the last that's not in the last couple though it didn't start in the last couple yeah oh it got shitty in the last couple i like the outside in the last couple yeah then the outside but i haven't seen that one yet but i heard that one's good it's good outsider was good yes yeah I got finished that actress is amazing dude who's the no no Emmy nomination she got no Emmy terrible dude she's unreal she's so good at it Bateman got it what as a gay star but he's in it for one episode he's only

in it for one so yeah well sorry sport Sorry, spoiler alert. Does he get whacked? I won't say anything. We'll see. It's interesting, but... Euphoria? What's the name of the guy? Ben Mickelson? Mendelsohn. Mendelsohn.

Speaking of Ben Mendelsohn, I recently started watching Killing Him Softly. Yeah. It's terrible. Worst movie ever. It is. Bro. Literally terrible.

So heavy-handed. Yes. Yeah. And rest in peace to one of the greatest actors ever, James Gandolfini. And it's sad to comment on this because it was probably part of what led to his unfortunate death but the sound on his breathing is so loud in his scenes that you can't watch you can't hear the dialogue oh dude that's a literally the fact you just said that i watch TV all the time at night when my girlfriend's sleeping, dude. She woke up because I had to fucking turn it up and put the subtitles on.

Yeah. I can't understand what's going on in that movie. Yeah. I'm not going to finish it, dude. No, it's bad. It's really bad. It's so heavy-handed. Like the political radio playing in the background?

Yeah. There's like bailout stuff playing on the radio at all times. You're like, would a gangster really be listening to this? He's listening to Npr yeah yeah no come on no yeah i agree with you dude my my babe of the week is uh is uh fruit smoothies whoa dude what's that song oh baby make it hurt so good dude. Sometimes love don't feel like it should. You make it hurt so good. That's fruit smoothies, dude.

I can't kick them. Every day I'm like. Are you still on them? Well, yeah, basically, yeah. Like, well, today I did like a chia seed pudding. I'm basically still on them. Yeah, I'm like, every day I'm like, I'm not going to have a fruit smoothie. And every day I'm like, I got to get a fruit smoothie, dude.

It's addictive, bro. They're so good. They're the best. I get this acai fruit smoothie where do you get from they from juice stop in san clemente and they grind up like granola in it it's like a full acai bowl i don't like acai bowls that much but they grind it up into a smoothie and it's like perfect but i just know it's killing me i know it's killing my midsection yeah and i'm trying to be healthy and it's it's been a real thorn in my side and my diet because it's killing me. I know it's killing my midsection. Yeah. And I'm trying to be healthy and it's been a real thorn in my side and my diet because it's like, you fucking fruit smoothies,

you seductive motherfuckers. You guys are just so tasty I can't stop. But you're supporting small business when you're doing that. Although there are multiple juice stops, but I think they're locally owned. But I think they're independently owned. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same people there every time. Yeah, they're sweethearts too. And they run it smooth with the social distancing. One at a time,

the whole thing. Love that. They don't take the card from your hand, you put the card down. Just little precautions like that.

Let's keep it moving. Chad, who's your legend of the week? My legend of the week is... My legend of the week is... My soft top. Nice soft top nice my soft top longboard uh there's been waves for like three weeks now damn dude man the last the last like

kind of swell was like when we were in san clemente for that week it was like two or three feet did you go out where'd you go out in san clemente t street hell yeah t street dude t street and then i saw kalani rob out there that was cool that's awesome yeah uh but yeah so i just take out the soft top and uh shout out dude i mean you're a legend i'm taking it out just cruising you know you don't you barely need anything to get that log going love it it. And you just cruise. You get out in the water. You paddle. If you're feeling cranky, you just get out there, get in the sun, and just paddle.

And you feel good. So thank you, Soft Top. Hell yeah. Strider. My legend of the week has to be my new balcony. Nice, dude. So sick. That's awesome. i'm stepping out there

and you know truth be told it's a balcony that overlooks a courtyard it'd be nice if it had some sort of sick view or just like more open so you know the direct view is like the neighbors but the neighbors are never really out there there's a nice little couple that is kind of like to the right of me that will have dinner on their balcony which is lovely to see um But dude, it's just fire to step out there with my morning coffee, shirt off, on my balcony, just sipping it, taking in some morning air. It's very dank. That's awesome.

Something I could never do in my old place. So fired up on that. You just did it, bro. Yeah. Thank you, my dog. That's so good. Thank you. I love that.

Sick to have a balcony. I love it too, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Bang. I'll do the sound you guys want to hit it again your hand slapping aaron who's your legend my legend of the week is john fogarty oh he uh credence clearwater cleans yes he crs lead singer uh he he recorded at home you know during during quarantine

he's got like a band with all his kids uh but he just did a solo acoustic of uh center field for opening day and it just reminds me like he is a badass he's he's everything you want because if you go see him he wrote the songs he sings the songs and he plays lead guitar and that's like if you go see ccr or ccr revisited or whatever you're getting guys who didn't do any of those things so he's like the ultimate front man uh of course in an older band but uh you know i respect that and that's what i want in in a guy you're going to go see a guy who's, who's older and maybe not putting out records, at least all the stuff he's playing,

he fucking wrote, he fucking sang and he plays all the solos on. He's got one of the best guitarists from Forrest Gump when it's the Vietnam scene. Um, fortunate son, fortunate son. Oh my God. My brother used to play that when he wanted me to come hang out upstairs.

He'd play fortunate son and I knew it was time to hang out. That's awesome. That's amazing. That's cool. Second about John Fogerty, he went solo as John Fogerty and his old manager sued him for sounding too much like Creedence Clearwater revival. Yep. And it went to court and the judge threw it out.

He's like, this is stupid. He's the guy. Like, what are you talking about? For a long time, the guy, I think his name is Saul Zantz or something like that. He became a movie producer. He may have helped produce The Godfather or something like that. But yeah, he owned the rights to CCR.

And so the band couldn't play their own songs for a while. Damn. Nice. That would suck. It's whack. Isn't it like Taylor Swift going through something like that? Like she had to pick the right songs to play. own songs for a while. Damn. Nice. That would suck. It's whack. Isn't it like Taylor Swift going through something like that? She had to pick the right songs to play. Scooter Braun.

Yeah. He's a fan of ours. You have to re-record your stuff. He was in that Rasputin book, Scooter Braun. Yeah. I went to Rasputin me. Yeah, exactly. Not a bad call, yeah.

But at what price, Chad? At what price? Yeah. Beer money. Beer money. Oh, wait. Hang on. This guy produced... the guy who stole ccr's music produced cuckoo's nest amadeus and the english patient oh some good freaking movies

dude yeah he got in bed with milos foreman there's a few directors better to be hanging with yeah and then uh and then mingeles yeah anthony, yeah. Dude, my legend of the week is someone we all know and love, and he's just a total beast, Dan Lucchese. Oh, yeah. Dude, good call. Yeah, we haven't done that before. I know, I know, right? It's so well-deserved.

So Dan is someone who came into our orbit in the last couple years, and we were working on a big project with him, and that got sidetracked because of the corona stuff. But he has been so instrumental in helping Chad and I and Strider with all of our stuff that we put out. He coordinates a lot of what we do, is an author of a lot of what we do, edits our mass videos, and really was the— I don't think people know, an editor really is what a lot of people think the director is. think people know like an editor really is what a lot of people think the director is because even though the director is there on set the editor is the one who puts it together into a cohesive like story and makes it something that's intelligible to the people who watch and dan did that

beautifully and uh he's just a great guy he's super cool he's fun to hang out with he's super smart and uh yeah we're just lucky to know him lucky to work with him and and yeah i know he'll be on here one day and the stokers will get to know him intimately he's got a beautiful english accent he's a beautiful guy yeah yeah super good looking dude cool as fuck yeah skates takes beautiful photography when when uh chad and i first met him and we were talking about like where chad goes deep could go he referenced like wong kar wai and some like uh like chung ching express and like some uh pretty obscure foreign films so that got me on board instantly i was like dude this guy's got vision and he's erudite when it comes to his film knowledge. What up? And yeah, he's shown me so much cool stuff.

He showed me this George Price video. Who's like an English professor who wanted to discover if altruism was real or if people only did stuff for like their own benefit. And so he ended up George Price ended up killing himself just to prove people would do things that weren't in their best interest. And it really spoke to me and i was like that's amazing thank you for showing me this and he's just one of those guys who always has good stuff to share and always has good input to give and yeah he's just a beast yeah he's such a legend yeah i gotta give a shout out to dan i mean he he's so smart such a fun guy to hang out with so sweet he's just the whole package he's awesome there's literally

i mean yeah he's just one of those guys where he kind of just like after hanging out with him for a while usually gonna be like i love you yeah yeah yeah yeah totally he's a great dude yeah he loves mario kart and i kicked his ass yeah i want it out there when we were when we're all working in an office together we had two video video games. We had Mario Kart and we had Mario Tennis. And he was the best at Mario Kart. And he did that thing. Ferrari does the same thing when he beats me in a CrossFit workout. He'll beat you and then he'll go, oh, that was pretty close that time. Good job

everybody. You can tell he's so happy he won. And I'm just like, oh dude, I could kill you, man. And then we switched to Mario Tennis and you could see Dan got a little sad. He was like, so I guess we're done with Mario Kart. Yeah, I remember there was like a few weeks ago his phone shut off, and it was off for a while.

We do like daily Zooms pretty much, and I was like, JT, I don't know where – I think something happened to Dan. Yeah. I thought he was dead. I was like, oh, fuck, dude. It was so sweet, though. I was like pumped you called. You were like, hey, I'm worried about Dan. I was like, that's good. I was like, fuck dude. Yeah. It was so sweet though. I was like pumped. You called,

you were like, Hey, I'm worried about Dan. I was like, that's good. I was like, yeah, we should be worried about Dan. Where is he?

Yeah. We need him to be okay. And I was like, he texted me. I'm like, Oh, thank God. Yeah.

No, he's a great dude. And he's got vision too, which is nice. And he sees it and gets it, which is, uh, he's,

yeah, he's a great guy, man. Yeah. Um, all right, Chad, what's your quote of the week uh my quote of the week is um oh uh sorry did someone else want to go for me uh yeah sure strider you want to hit it yeah i got one i've been saying this a lot and aaron's gonna know aaron might be able to guess my quote of the week Aaron what movie am I always saying

it's a very quick quote it's like six words I always say it's a reference to a film this guy won best actor and whenever we're recording I always say this thing like many times unknowingly

and I don't know how much I say this but it fires me up every time I say it. So it might honestly be my fire-up phrase as well. Aaron, one guess. I didn't give you a great hint. I can give you one more hint. Yeah, give me one more. It involves, I told you it was an outdoors film. Okay, this is a good hint. It has something to do with a bear. The Edge? it involves, I told you it was outdoors film. Um,

okay. This is a good end. It has something to do with a bear. The edge. Yeah. You guessed what movie it is. Is it the edge? I'm going to kill the motherfucker. Yeah.

I always say that. I'm going to kill the motherfucker. I was thinking about that movie the other day. It's a great movie. It is a good movie. Yeah. I guess there's a book about it. Art Linson,

the guy who produced it, wrote a book about it because Alec Baldwin was such a nightmare on it. Oh, he was a nightmare? Yeah, and like David Mamet, the guy who wrote the script under his pseudonym was like real difficult. He wanted to be like, he wanted the name of the movie to be like Man Who Kills Bear. Like something like very like on the nose and artsy. Yeah. But dude, I love that man.

I was thinking about like when he gets them all fired up and he makes Alec Baldwin say, he's like, what are you going to do? He's like, I'm going to kill the bear. Yeah, and he gets them all what are you going to do? He's like, I'm going to kill the bear. Yeah. And he gets him all jacked. It's amazing. It's amazing.

Just Hopkins look back. Dude, Hopkins is so good in that movie. Do you like the subplot of the wife stuff? I don't love it, dude. I mean, it's like a huge element of the movie and like a character drive for him. I wish there was a way that that wasn't in there. Baldwin doing the flip at the end is a little weird. Yeah. It almost doesn't fit the movie that precedes it yeah yeah and you're like okay but it but it's cool because he has the tell when he sees like the i don't want to give too much away the writing's smart yeah yeah but yeah did they i'm gonna kill the motherfucker so good yeah so

good and it agrees in the villain being the bear I mean come on dude yeah dope dope dope Chad do you have your quote? yeah it's from Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise oh fire

we're quoting some fire movies one of the steamiest scenes I've ever seen that just like I mean dude it fired me up so much

when he's with Nicole Kidman and they're in you know in bed and getting intimate and it's their first time and she goes tell me what do you love so much about racing speed to be able to control it to know that i can control something that's out of control and then they smudge that's hot dude and her being curious about it. I like that. Thank you for asking, Nicole. Yeah.

And the soundtrack, too. I mean, shout out to Tony Scott with, you know, Top Gun, then Days of Thunder. The Duke can make a movie. And then there's him on a motorcycle with her in the back. And it's like, I forget the song, but it's like, it's so good, dude. Yeah. It's like, and I was like, oh, oh, dude. It's Berlin and Top Gun, but I don't know what it is in days of thunder

i don't know either no fuck i wish i knew that that's awesome uh aaron what's your quote of the week uh my quote of the week is from uh your guys's fire face mask video in san clemente oh thank you yeah the uh the guy telling you about 5G. Oh, yeah. And then you go, well, where'd you learn all that? And he goes, I watched a bunch of videos while I was on acid. Just perfectly encapsulates conspiracy theorists. Yeah. All right.

My quote of the week is from a song by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis that I listened to on the way to the podcast, and it got me so fired up. And it's just the chorus. Can we go back? This is the moment. Tonight is the night. We'll fight till it's over. So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us,

like the ceiling can't hold us. Nice. Hell yes, dude. Is he making new music? I think he is, dude. And you know what? I like him because he is an idiot he's probably not not like a super dumb idiot he's obviously smart you know what i mean

but his his he doesn't articulate his ideas in a very sophisticated way but they're sincere and that's always gonna work yeah so i'm i'm all aboard the mclemore train hell yeah keep it corny bro bro. And keep it firing. Chad, what's your phrase of the week for getting after it? Keep it corny. Yeah. Let's keep it corny.

Love it. Strider? I'm gonna kill the motherfucker. Aaron, what's yours? Man, let's kill that bear dude nice dude mine is from the film Creed

it's one of my favorite movies of the last decade honestly it's in my top five I just think it's a perfectly made movie the way that they created something new but still wove it perfectly into the existing mythology of Rocky I thought was so brilliant by Ryan Coogler and Aaron Covington. Aaron Covington who I used to do open mics with and then just became a tremendous screenwriter I guess.

It was so cool to see him do that. But going into the last round against pretty Ricky Conlin it looks like Adonis Creed should be out. He's too banged up. And Rocky goes look I'm going to call the fight just like I should have for your father. And then he goes, no, I got to prove it.

And then Rocky goes, prove what? And then Adonis goes, that I'm not a mistake. And, dude, it's so powerful, dude. And so that's my phrase of the week for going after. I got to prove it that I'm not a mistake. Yeah. Love that. You guys party hard after hearing that.

Yeah. Hell yeah, dude. Purpose. Drive. No question. That's it, guys. Long one. Yeah. Sweet, dude. Write a review.

We need those reviews. Yeah, I always love it when there's new reviews. It really does fire me up, guys. I don't want to beg for them. Please. Please write a review. I'm going to write a review on this pod as me and go, you guys crushed the motherfucker. You killed the motherfucker.

All right, dudes. See you later. Thanks for coming. If you need advice These guys are really nice You wanna know What to do Where to go.

When you need someone to guide you, there's no time to have those beside you. I'm going deep. I'm going deep. Let's go deep. I'm going deep. I'm going deep I'm going deep
