I'm good, dude. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, it was a good day. I just chilled.

Played some Call of Duty. Almost got a dub. Some sweaty lobbies, you know? How many games did you lock in? Like seven. Nice. Yeah. You just go straight or were you dabbling in and out?

I took a little break, but no, mostly straight through. Yeah. Yeah, but different crews. Right. Different rotating cast of killers. Nice. Yeah, actually, no, well, I'm going to bring Call of Duty back up in my babe in Legend of the Week. Okay.

Yeah, I'm going to holster it for now. Cool, cool. Save it for later. You went to the park to crank out a workout? I didn't make it. Oh, you didn't make it? I just talked about it. I'm going to work out after this.

Oh, hell yeah. I'm just going to work out here, do like 100 burpees and superset it with some thrusters. Nice. Yeah. Some weight on those? Yeah, I superset it with some thrusters. Nice. Yeah. Some weight on those? Yeah, I think I'll probably use 45s. Nice. With the bar?

Thrusters always hurt my neck, so I have to be careful with them. Right. Because I want that pain in the neck. I like having a little bit of pain in the neck. It lets me know I'm pushing myself. But sometimes it can be too much and it can inhibit my dancing. I hear you. Oh, you can't have that.

No. Yeah, that's one of the things i remember i had serious neck pain my trap was locked up i remember and uh yeah i remember i gotta invite you know people are like dude we're going dancing tonight dude we're going to a party and stuff and they're like are you gonna come i'm like it's the point i can't even express myself yeah your trap's all trapping you in. Yeah. I'm just gonna put a heating pad on and be 30. That's nice. Yeah. Which I don't have a problem with. I really enjoy

it. Being 30? Yeah. Yeah, you're eternally youthful. Oh, thanks, man. You gotta, you know, just exude joie de vivre. Oh, dude, thanks. Yeah, carpe diem. Bro, that's the spirit of corn here is fire spirit of what the spirit of core oh hell yeah i think that means a good vibe amongst the workers oh dank i heard david mamet saying on a charlie rose episode dude i used to just crush charlie

rose episodes i just look up people i liked like steve martin or david mamet or i don't know some director you know marty scorsese and then i just watch him talk but now i'd be like this is kind of boring but at the time i was like this is amazing what's changed i think i've just seen a lot of them now so it's not as like new to me are you enamored by his interviewing style um no i was just more enamored by the guests he got and by the structure of it. Because it was just like a real 20-minute talk on work. And it wasn't like a late-night talk show host where they were working for laughs. They're just trying to disseminate information.

So I thought it was more informative. That's what I liked about it was it was more informative that's cool that's what i liked about it was more informative yeah well i've watched some of them with like paul thomas anderson and stuff or you're like he's good actors and uh those are some of the best interviews there's something about the the lighting too it looks really good and that oak table yeah where you're just like oh they're really getting into it you know it's not like a flashy kind of like today's show like today the morning show it's not glossy you know with like mario lopez just biceps just bulging out you know they're getting down to brass tacks which yeah no no disrespect to his biceps i think they inspire me every day and that skin incredible how old is he now like 50 damn he

looks the same you can watch video of him sparring with canelo alvarez and canelo's not really hitting him yeah but uh mario's a good boxer wow yeah he'd beat some ass what a good guy probably kick jake paul's ass you're dude yeah that's who we measure everyone that'd be a good fight i would watch that for sure yeah but yeah charlie rose the best i guess you know he got fired because he was being sexually inappropriate. I don't know how far he went with it. I think he was like, you know, he'd get like a pretty person on a Zoom and have his dong out during it. Really? I think so.

But dude, speaking of like sexual stuff like that, I was, I heard from someone that a really famous celebrity who died and we all, the story was that he killed himself and I heard from someone that he actually died from autoerotic asphyxiation oh is it Kill Bill no so everyone knows that guy yeah but this is someone who the story

is not out there at all but it made me wonder like maybe you know we get so sad when celebrities kill themselves i think it's almost extra sad because we have a relationship with them but also because like we're like oh this person had everything yeah why were they so sad so it really makes us question like if like a happy life is possible right but then i'm wondering if if a lot of these people did just die from pushing the envelope too much when they were jacking off would it be better for all of us if we knew that truth yeah because then we'd be like oh he wasn't sad right he just like really wanted to come in a

crazy way yeah and just pushed it too far and like we're all like i totally understand that that makes a lot more sense yeah and that would make like the um the yulikakis uh way way more sort of uh light and it should be like dude and the way he went out man he just liked to push it he pushed it took it to i mean it's sort of like a base jumper dying you know it's like he died doing what he loves he just he's getting extreme and just you know probably came super hard and then just you know it'd be inspired later we'd all be like man that guy always lived his life like to the hilt yeah yeah and uh yeah and then he just pushed it too far and you know be more careful the next time have a,

have a spotter or something. Right. Right. I have a suspicion of who you're talking about. Yeah. I don't want to say, cause I don't want to, cause I don't know.

Yeah. But yeah, I think you do know. Don't, don't do it. Don't do it. All right. Off,

offline. All right. Cool. That's the classy thing to do, i'm gonna remember that so we're gonna actually do it we're gonna talk about it or we're actually gonna auto erotic ourselves no after well well let's do both yeah you both yeah because i think three people is probably the right number for that can you really want to be safe i feel like you of course you have more of a knack for it of course i'll go first yeah i need to i need to i learn i'm a visual learner so i think watching you do it will help me to to really you know accentuate the the process yeah yeah i'm happy to be the tip of

the spear on that that's sick thank you that makes me that emboldens me it makes me want to do it i'll go last because i need to i need to know that you guys are both still alive right because i'm a bit of a heavier lift right and you need to send the podcast after there is that yeah yeah so we need definitely procedurally it makes sense yeah i uh also in the sexual vicinity i've been seeing someone you know we're seeing each other a lot we're close get along good yeah she's great and then um and dude her friend dominated me her girlfriend dominated me. Her girlfriend dominated me. How so? I came over to hang out with them.

They were doing collages and stuff. Her collage was amazing. She's super smart, really talented. Oh, I remember you telling me this. They were doing collages, and I was just chilling, sitting back, having a fruit smash. And then I just started rubbing her head, just casually rubbing her dome, trying to give her a little pleasure. She seemed to be you know enjoying the

shit out of it and then the girl's like that's not how you rub someone's head she's like you're rubbing it like a monkey she's really treating me like some dumb jock or something and i was like okay i was like how do you do it or like what are you gonna do she's like this is how you do it she sauntered over and got behind her like kind of with like a i don't know a lot of body movement a lot of action she was really making a show out of it and then she got back there and she like threw her hair up she like slipped her hands underneath her head and started rubbing it it did look like she was doing a better job the girl i've been seeing was like and then she was like rubbing her head and she was like staring

at me she's like that's how you do it started blushing i was like i'm deeply humbled yeah yeah i took it in stride. I was just like, fuck, man. All right. Yeah. And then she, like, walked back over and was like, went back to her collage. I was like, damn, dude. That lady had to show me what's up.

I was like, maybe I do need to be, like, more delicate and stuff. So since then, I think I have been, like, a little bit more conscious of how I use, like, my. Your hands? My hands and my body and stuff. Yeah. I think I have been like a little bit more conscious of how I use like my, your hands, my hands and my body. And yeah. Yeah. What I find difficult to, to,

to really, you know, it was stuff like that is like, where do you find the happy medium of being like too gentle to being too, you know, like too handsy. That's the dance. That's the dance.

Yeah. It's like jujitsu class. You know, you're a black belt. You know when to go in for the, you know know when to go in hard and go for the choke and you know when to be supple and just move around yeah i think i'm inherently just too gentle so i always i always feel like i need to just push it a little bit past my comfort zone and i think that's that's the happy medium right you gotta you gotta be able to go yeah i think that's all of us we have to

we're correcting in some direction yeah yeah you gotta you gotta figure out which which i think i go too hard so i'm trying to be gentle sometimes like i don't know i think i'm gentle as shit it's hard to know it's hard and it's different with each person well it's hard to know it's hard to know how it feels to the other person really really. Like, how hard does this feel? You know, how gentle am I being? You don't know. Like, you have an idea, but I'm kind of like, do I have an idea? You might.

I don't know. I think you do, but you might not. That's what you don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I gave a massage this week, and I think I was pretty good at it. You're a great masseuse. Oh, thanks, yeah.

No doubt. Well, I learned one thing where you rub so you go along the spine and you get the muscles along the spine and you push them out. Oh. She seemed to enjoy that. We've all got secrets. Like secret tricks for how we do it.

I got a secret one. You do this. You take, you know what i'm gonna need someone's shoulders chad you got to get massaged come here thanks buddy all right here it is people this is the trick you're gonna come up here to the shoulder which is just one of the best areas you can massage someone you're gonna hit them with three or four of those with the thumb and then you're gonna walk it down like that do you feel that yeah do you feel that that's awesome it sends a tingle every time yeah that was good stuff i think i learned that from trevor moylan really about eight ten years ago that inspired me i did

i did the uh and that loosened me up i did the shoulders like that but i didn't walk i didn't do the dance walk them down walk them down the line. You know, I went heavy on the glutes, though. Oh, you did? Yeah, I was going to Tom's. I love a butt massage. Yeah. Look, I'm going to sound like a real spoiled bastard right now. But my mom, once in a while, would have a masseuse come to the house.

Give the whole family rub downs. Yeah. And I was like 11. Yeah. And I discovered how good it felt to get your tuchus rubbed. Right. And I used to tell the masseuse, I'd say, hey, hammer the ass. I'd say, rub that tuchus rubbed right and i used to tell them masseuse i'd say hey hammer the ass i'd say rub that tuchus yeah that's good stuff and there was nothing it wasn't sexual to me i

was just enjoying the the butt rubbing dude i've always fantasized about having like a steamed rock massage if you guys ever had that hot rocks i don't know what cupping is though whenever i see like bs yeah people when they show photos of their back after cupping i'm like oh it looks so gross it looks so gross i'm like why are you showing that that's like when people show like wounds on you know like like here's my uh here's a here's my leg after i you know got hit by a bus i'm like you just tell us about it, dude. Right. I'll need to see. Sorry. Was that you? When I fell in the hole.

Oh, my bad, dude. I posted photos. No, it was cool when you did it. Obviously, it didn't stick in my mind. It wasn't bad because... Obviously, it was cool when you did it. Yeah. Yeah. I think if there's like an infection, they're like, still infected.

Oh. You didn't do that. No, no, no. Yeah. Okay. That's more about the speed i was i was uh i just compared it to a begging strip a what a begging strip don't you yeah uh did you listen to dave chappelle on joe rogan i'm about an hour in joe rogan had a funny thing on there

where it was like just so joe rogan where he was like yeah you know i'm really desensitized to violence he's like i don't know if anyone in human history, very few people have seen as much violence as me. He's like, besides like Genghis Khan or like marauders like that. Yeah. It's funny to hear him talk about it and like put himself in that hierarchy. And then, and then he goes like, my wife cut her head the other day. And I guess he was just like, yeah, that's not a serious cut. Right. And just went back to what he was doing. Yeah. She's like, no,

I'm like bleeding from the head, but he's like so desensitized to wounds from seeing fighters get busted up that it didn't even register with him as like uh anything to pay attention to yeah i think that's what doctors are that's how my dad said that's what he said that's how my dad is like if i get injured or something he'll look at the injury and he'll he's either like you're a pussy or you're gonna die there's no happy medium totally binary yeah and like um i remember when i when i i mean when i first broke my wrist like he looked at and he's like it's a sprain you're fine i'm gonna i'm a week without you know getting a cast or anything or an x-ray and then i was at a baseball game i was an all-star too i was like

third grade all-star i fell off a soccer goal post i was like climbing on top of it and i fell broke my wrist and i didn't realize it was broken i mean it hurt but i was i just didn't realize it was like broken i went to throw a baseball and let's say i was throwing it straight to you aaron and it went directly to the right and that's when i got an x-ray and that ended my baseball career what'd the x-ray say yeah actually said i was like it's broken it's broken as fuck you're tough i broke my thumb that seems worse we were luging luging on long boards you know when you just sit on your butt right down a big hill yeah and uh the board got away from me and i was chasing it down the hill yeah and then i i was taking off my jacket to run

faster tripped on my jacket did a front flip got up kept running got the board my buddies were cheering for me and then when i got up my thumb was like out to here and they did that thing that every group of friends has done since the beginning of time where you go hey my thumb's broken and they all go now we think you're good why do the guys always do girls probably do it too but like it's just always like no you're fine dude you're fine you're like no dude this shit's fucking broken yeah and then uh yeah sure enough i went to the uh to the doctor got the x-ray and they were like yeah you cracked your thumb what do you think that is what do you think that's like the the male kind of like um you know i don't know because i well my brother broke his his arm at a skate park and it was like a clear break yeah it came out of the skin right

it was like a compound fracture it didn't come out of the skin but it should have been compound because it was like his arm was like a step like that like it broke and then went up and there and um but the guys there were like they're like oh dude it's a heavy break have some mountain dew and he went to the hospital where he had to get reset and uh he was at the and the he had to go home for like eight hours because he drank the Mountain Dew. And they're like, your stomach's got to be empty before we put you in surgery. Hilarious. And so he was just like in so much pain, just like throwing up.

All because of the Dew. But he wanted that Dew in the moment, right? Like that, when they offered him, he was pumped on it? He's psyched on it, yeah. I mean, it's hard to say no to a Mountain mountain dew he broke his arm and he was looking at it you know when you look at something gnarly on your body he's like he was just making this noise he's like oh oh oh because like oh dude have some mountain dew and he's like oh thank you what a nice kid yeah what can i do to help this guy yeah with his broken arm yeah get him a

mountain dew yeah i remember i i used to like kind of when i'd see people in casts i would when i was in elementary school middle school i would kind of crave it a little bit it was great attention yeah because i wanted the attention you get signed and then you show you know i'd get pink cast and i'd be like to girls i I'd be like, yeah, they like fucking broke my wrist. Yeah. Never turned into anything, but I always thought you didn't end up banging all of them. Almost, dude. They're like, how'd you break your wrist?

I'm like, fuck it. I was doing pull-ups and they're like, let's go have sex. That's hot. Um, yeah. People having sex at that age you gotta slow down i mean i'm not saying you gotta wait till 24 like i did not that i waited but you know the weight was kind of thrusted on me yeah but uh yeah don't be don't be fucking at that age it's crazy to think about it's insane it's insane it's insane um yeah i think everyone should go through a broken bone once in their life yeah i've been lucky all my breaks have just been in my hand i've just broken all my fingers in my hand i've broken like

every finger and oh this hand broken all those fingers i think so that's those seem worse to me because it's just like i don't know it's funny with those ones too because like you can still play sports with a broken finger yeah i remember like i was playing football and so i just like by the end of the season i was just like not that it mattered much but i was just taping my whole hand together yeah the stint or whatever i like put on my glove i had these like really sticky gloves you could catch anything with them um and then i just taped my whole hand up but it it was like and then it would just you'd get that weird kind of hollow pain every time you hit something yeah my my i was i was so i didn't play football till my senior year of high school and my team was terrible like we lost to like you know the deaf school or like teams that had like

girls on them and stuff um not not not to besmirch the deaf school either they were incredible they were such a good team but again i told you this already they cheated they had like three like adults on the team who were over 19. so just like grown deaf men just beating the out of high school kids and that was one of the only games i started in a in a half there was like a there was a fight on the team our best players got into an argument and one of our best players was talking to one of our other best players and i said hey shut up man we're on the same team and he looked at me he's like what and he came to kick my ass and so i put my helmet on so if he beat me up it wouldn't be that bad and then the coaches broke it up and they got mad at me because i suck yeah and they were like don't piss them off and i

was like all right sorry they're like why are you pissing him off and i was like i'm sorry he's like being a huge a-hole. And then we were fine. We were buddies. We like squashed it after the game. But then in the second half, it was like emo was popular at the time. I've probably told this story many times, but emo was popular at the time. So he was wearing a eyeshadow and he started sweating and his eyeshadow like got into his pores and he ended up going into like kind of a weird.

Oh, really? He had kind of like a shock thing happened to him where his body shut down wow and i pretended like i was a sith lord doing it to him while it happened to make some of the guys laugh i was like yeah you'll never yell at me again was he he was like compulsing he kind of just and like, he kind of like went limp at wide receiver. And then we got him off the field and he was like, and no one could tell what was wrong. And maybe the coaches again were just like, it's because you're wearing fucking eye shadow, man. That's why you're all fucked up.

Because you're wearing eye shadow. He might have just been dehydrated. Like he didn't drink any Pedialyte or something. But yeah, the thing that everyone blamed, because it was the thing that stuck out, was the eye shadow for sure. Dude, did you watch Elon Musk on SNL? I just watched the monologue, and I thought it was good. I mean, you know, he's not an entertainer.

He's not a performer. But, yeah, I thought he, you yeah, I still think he's charming. And he seemed to be putting in the effort. I really appreciate it. Dude, I was excited to have him on. I didn't understand any of the backlash. It felt so ridiculous to me. It was the most interested I've been in watching an SNL episode in years.

I bet the ratings were just through the roof. Absolutely. Yeah. It was the most excited I've been in watching an SNL episode in years. I bet the ratings were just through the roof. Absolutely. Yeah. It was the most excited I've been ever to watch. And I'm not like, I don't like the whole cult of personality around Elon Musk. Like I'm not like a Elon Musk nut hugger. I'm like, yeah, it's interesting. He does interesting things.

But I'm like, I don't know. It feels kind of like corny to me sometimes. Yeah. When people are just like, Elon Musk is amazing. He's like the smartest person who ever lived. I'm like, I don't even know how to evaluate that. But dude, I straight up thought he was funnier than everybody else on the show.

Did you watch the sketches? I watched the whole thing. I was like, he's fucking crushing. Really? Especially relative to the rest of the cast. I was like, I think he's the funniest guy on the show. Really? He made me laugh more than everybody else.

Oh, I gotta check it out. Towards the end, I guess SNL stacks it where the best sketches are up top and then the kind of weirder stuff towards the end because people have tuned out so they get a little weirder. Those ones he wasn't as good in. And then they started leaning too much onto his actual stuff. When he was referencing Dogecoin or the underground tunnels,

I didn't like that as much. But when he was just playing straight-up characters in a thing, I was like, dude, he's funny. He was cracking me up. That's awesome. There was more charm in his performance for some reason i so before him the i think the only in recent memory the only other snl host i was excited to see was dave chappelle and then other than that you know it's always kind of they're always sort of in the same you know it's like a you know movie star or like a comedian and stuff and you're kind of like you know daniel craig was cool especially there's that like that like viral meme where he's like ladies and gentlemen the weekend

i haven't seen that that's how he says it's so good elon musk was pretty bad at the weekend those intros are always really like kind of uh but daniel crush it he like alec baldwin would be like and now the strokes and you're like this is goofy yeah um i uh that's awesome though i thought he was great it was odd the backlash because there are there have been so many weird choices. I mean, obviously Trump hosting. But there was like Steve Forbes hosted an episode in the 90s. Oh, he did? Yeah.

My dad loves Steve Forbes. That was my dad's guy. It's a really awkward and weird episode, but it was funny. Was that when he was running for president? No, he had... Just lost or something? It was like 98, so it was probably between elections. Interesting. But yeah, he'd probably run a 96 i think getting more people like that on is

is interesting it's like it's smart yeah i you know i like the guy from bridgerton a lot but i'm not going to tune in when he's hosting snl i kind of feel like i know what i'm going to get totally but then when you get these like public figures who who don't do comedy trying to do comedy that's gold it's better yeah it's more interesting who else would charles barkley's interesting when he does it dude has shack done it i don't know yeah shack's probably done it shack would be great he'd be awesome shack's hilarious you hear about dogecoin it tanked right right when the episode aired it tanked It tanked, right? Right when the episode aired, it tanked.

And I saw these things on Twitter, you know. I dabble in crypto Twitter. And a lot of people were like... I see a lot of things from people on Reddit being like, I put my life savings in Dogecoin and now... I'm like, why would you... I thought that, you know, it's like, if you're going to invest in crypto, I feel like you just want to put in like money that you're willing to lose, that you feel comfortable losing and you get in it for the long haul.

You don't put your life savings in there and try and cash out like, you know, a week. I think that's sound advice. Yeah. I think also the pandemic, it just made everybody try to find alternative methods for making money, even just staying busy and connected. And it kind of fit all those things. It's just very zeitgeisty. But I agree with you. I just don't understand it,

so I wouldn't ever put anything that mattered to me into it. Totally. It's so volatile. I mean, it just goes up and down, up and down. And I don't understand it. It's funny with comedians. I was like, comedians post about like our friends they post about crypto more than they post about comedy now everyone's more a crypto person than whatever their other job is now

well then there's the people who are super into it who like will will send you shit or like they'll like say stuff to you they'll be like they'll be like why don't you check out the uh you know why don't you check out the um the supermarket chain uh fucking blockchain and you're like i don't know what you're saying and they're like come on man what about the what about the volatility of the fucking you know the fin of the fin coin like dude i don't know and then they use all those weird symbols i don't understand any of it i don't get it i like talking to people who are into it but it's never gonna be my bag dude this is my first yerba mate i've ever had it's good i just

on camera my first sip yeah it's great it's really good it's refreshing yeah you don't even know you're drinking a caffeinated bev no it's like a it's like a minty iced tea yeah it tastes great so refreshing let's go nice looking can too i know a lot of people are really into this stuff i don't know why i was so slow on the up kick i just like being slow on stuff right you want to catch on later i'm just like you know i'll wait a couple years right i still never seen napoleon dynamite really no interest and spinal tap never i want to see spinal tap that's a big blind spot but no interest in napoleon none you're fine it got quoted to death that summer yeah i like uncle rico a lot if you you know obviously i don't know but i i know a little bit uncle rico but you know when i watched napoleon dynamite it like most indie films to me is kind of depressing they're sad they're just like yeah it's just you know there's it's just a baseline sadness you don't like movies

about losers i don't like realism i don't like losers i don't like you. I don't like losers. I don't like, you know, I like good times, levity, lighthearted fun. That's not realistic at all. You're going to want to skip Nomadland. I watched that. I saw Nomadland. I saw it. I just saw it. Yeah.

Frances McDormand deucing on camera. Yeah. She's amazing. She's great. Yeah. One of the best. I was watching. I was like, whoa.

She brought a lot of gravitas to that scene. Should we get into some questions? Yeah, that sounds good. And there you go. Oh, can't make a wife out of a hoe. Dude, that song. Miley sang a song on SNL with this 17-year-old. I didn't know he was 17.

This kid, Kid Leroy, who sings that song. He's 17. so Miley sang a song on SNL with this like 17 year old I didn't know he was 17 this kid Kid Leroy who sings that song he's 17 I've got the hots for Miley yeah she's beautiful it's it's funny the lyrics of the song you can't turn you can't make a wife out of a hoe and then I'm like first I thought it was a black dude singing it so when I saw it was like like a pasty white kid I was like that's kind of weird yeah he's saying how and then and then he's 17 i'm like who you trying to make a wife out of dude yeah it doesn't feel like you're putting too much pressure on this gal and how do you know that yeah yeah it's right right like how does he i thought he would be like a 40 year old divorcee was singing that song these gen z kids dude they're growing up too fast. Once they hit 12, they look like they're fucking

30. And they're just horny. Beyond horny. People are horny. Oh, this is like TikTok. I don't know. It's a horny medium. It's the horniest. Maybe everything's always run on horniness. I'm sure.

I had a pretty epic Saturday night. I watched seven episodes of OC. Oh, nice. Which season? With a date, not alone. Yeah, even better, bro. Season three.

Oh, interesting. So is that like Oliver? Johnny. Johnny the Surfer. Nice. Yeah, yeah. So it's when Marissa's going to the public high school yeah and the thing about it too is that they're in the show that everyone cares so much and their

lives are so exhausting because they always have problems they have to like fix and we're just watching it and we're like they care like way too much know? They're too invested. Like, it'll be like Ryan has to present for this bar mitzvah so they can fund Johnny's surgery. But then Johnny, like, storms off and says, like, Johnny just stormed off and Ryan's like, Ryan has to go on stage, but he's like, all right, I got this, so he just runs out, you know? And you're like, I don't know, man. They out you know just and you're like i don't know man they just

they just care so much and you're like i don't know if i've ever cared that much ever it's true right i don't know like it's melodrama yeah of course yeah what so it's good tv. It's great TV. Ryan runs on stage. So Johnny's, you know, well, first off, Johnny's like in love with Marissa. Totally. And it's just funny because he's like, you know, he's just like, he has to tell her sometimes. He's like, Marissa, like, I like you. You know, but to me, it's just more like, you know, he's in high school. It's like, oh, Johnny's just horny. yeah but it to me it's just more like you know he's in high school i was like oh johnny's just horny so it's like be better if johnny's just like marissa like i'm so horny i'm horny i'm so

horny under like a pier i'm just so horny you know what's funny about that too though is like uh my friend's mom is single and she's on the dating apps and she's in her 50s. All the same shit. What do you mean? Like one guy, they went on one date and then he was like, hey, are you like texting other guys? And like got upset at her. And then like another guy was like kind of being a fuck boy. And then she's kind of like, you know, talking to a couple of dudes and kind of breadcrumbing them, like being like, hey, maybe we'll go out.

Maybe we won't. And she's kind of just, you know, bouncing off them while she's more into another guy. Right. And you're like, oh, this stuff is like, like, I think sometimes we associate it with an age. But honestly, it's like consistent across the board. Horny is horny. Horny is horny and games are games and everybody's doing it. Right.

Horny is horny. Horny is horny and games are games and everybody's doing it. Right. Like there's 70 year, there's not 70, older, 80 year olds at like senior citizen homes who are doing the same spiel. Right. Who are worried like, oh yeah, she wants to lock me down. I don't know if I'm ready for that. And everyone's like, Doug, you're 83.

Right. I think you're ready to settle down. He's like, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if it's right. Doug has a good point. I'm supposed to be playing dominoes with Cassie next week.

I don't know if I want to give that up. Doug set up a lot of dates. To just look out the window with Linda. Right. Totally. And maybe Linda, you know. She's running through them. Of course.

She's dropping Viagras and everybody else is drinking. Yeah. Well, Linda's not a chump. No. She's been through it. She's getting out there know, Viagra's and everybody else is drinking. Yeah, well, Linda's not a chump. No, she's been through it. She's getting out there. Yeah, dude. I mean, you know. And? She was alive during Vietnam.

First cue. Our boy maintains he doesn't cheat, but he clearly does. What's good, Lords of Stoke? Recently, it's come upon us that our boy is shamelessly cheating on his SO. My girl saw our boy getting out of a 2017 Jeep Wrangler with who seemed like a rando. I love. Yeah, I don't know. We need that specificity.

I love specifying the car because it makes it seem like he has a separate car for when he's going on these dates. And it feels like there's an implication that someone who has that kind of car would be doing something unsavory behind his girlfriend's back. And when we asked him about it,

he claimed he was just catching up with a friend. We believed him and we continued to stoke on him as if nothing happened. A few weeks went by and we found out though, through through mutual friends that this female was actually a mistress of sorts. Turns out that he had been sneaking away and both cuddling and banging this girl for the past year and a half. Despite this, he has told us that he loves his girlfriend and plans to plant a niece soon, saying that without her he would be nothing. Me and the boys don't know how to bring this up and he denies any evidence we bring forth to him. My question is, how do we talk to our boy about this heinous behavior without pissing him off we have brought up his

cheating habits but he's always brushed it off as always thank you i don't know man it sucks that he's doing that but i don't know if if he doesn't want to address it i don't know how much you should really insist on talking to him about it. Because, I mean, I feel bad for his girlfriend, and it's nice you guys do as well, but it's kind of on your boy to be better. Yeah, I agree. It's really unfortunate,

and I think the fact that he's doing it in a 2017 Jeep Wrangler makes it that much worse. But I just wouldn't, you know, I guess I just want to encourage it, which sounds like they aren't even doing it in the first place. But it's not there's not much you can really do to stop him, you know, besides just like, you know. Not encouraging it and not not being you know not approving of it i guess i'm right there with you like if you're in the moment and he's like gonna go home with a girl and you're like hey dude how about we get pizza instead yeah and then go play some fifa back at the crib yeah like that's cool you know what i mean but beyond that i don't know i guess you could have a really serious

heart-to-heart with him like hey man i don't approve of you cheating on your girlfriend but i don't think that would get him to stop no no he's probably he's probably got some you know i don't know he's got some underlying insecurity that he has to address I mean we wouldn't confront a friend who was doing that probably if I was really close to their girlfriend I might yeah

like it would never happen but like if Strider was like cheating on his on his lady I might be like hey bro that's not you Strider yeah but he clearly is this guy some people are just that way it's just how they're built sad That's not you, Strider. Yeah. But it clearly is this guy. Some people are just that way.

It's just how they're built. Sad. I'm really going to need to follow up as to whether or not that Jeep Wrangler was a four-door. Right. It was hard top. Safari edition. Safari, yeah, exactly. Dude, if he did it in a Laura Croft Tomb Raider.

Those were sick. Those were sick. Roll cage on top. What's up, bros. Love your podcast and all your videos, but specifically think you guys always give really, uh,

really very real advice on things. I'm in my mid to late twenties and have been in about three serious long-term relationships in my years. Totally a combined seven years since I was 18. So I'm not used to being single. I recently ended one after thinking I was going to marry her, but eventually decided our life views do not match. I've started dating a lot again, but I've become obsessed with bettering my quality

of life in every respect. I'm working out, got a very good new job, started reading self-help, and trying to live a very healthy lifestyle. Part of improving my quality of life, I want the next serious relationship to be it. I'm worried that I am counting out lots of amazing women because they're no longer fitting my standards after just a few dates. Am I being too picky and judgmental for the jump?

Or should I continue with this strategy until I find someone that meets everything that I'm looking for? Thanks bros. Hope you can relate on this and give me some good advice. You sound like you're doing great, man. I don't know if he's being too picky if he got a few years down the line with a girl and then decided their life values didn't match

right i think that's something you find out pretty pretty quick yeah and two i i don't think he'd be writing in if he met someone where he was like oh she's she's the one you know what i mean like if he's if he's having his doubts maybe he should you know go on another maybe another date just to like really see and and sort of so we can know for sure but i think i from what i know or from what i've heard you pretty know you pretty much know kind of off the bat right i don't know aaron what do you think it takes a couple months i think a couple months yeah okay to know like if it's for real for real if it's i think if you meet someone and not not like for real for real but it's sort of like where you like meet them and you're kind of like taking it back.

Yeah, where you're like, I want to see this through. Sure, yeah, yeah, that can come quick. Yeah, so yeah, I think you'll know when you've met someone who sort of checks out all the things off your list. Yeah, I'd keep doing what you're doing. Yeah. Sounds like you're doing good. Totes. What up, Chad and JT?

Hopefully the love guru himself, Big Hog, Joe, Aaron, and any potential guest. Can anyone tell me how to stop burping so much when I drink? Is it because I drink so fast? Is that why that happens? So my lady and I have been going steady for a year and a half now. She's about to be a senior in college and I'm about to be a junior. Been living that coug life. I've had the best time with her

and she's become my closest friend. However, I think she's turning into a schmole. It started with little things like being goofy in large crowd setting was embarrassing and not funny anymore. When we hang around other people, she shoots me down if I say something or will try to make me seem dumb for saying it.

But I think it's because she doesn't get it. She doesn't really understand my jokes all the time. And if we watch a Christopher Nolan movie, I have to explain everything to her as we watch. Well, dude, if it's because she doesn't get it. She doesn't really understand my jokes all the time. And if we watch a Christopher Nolan movie, I have to explain everything to her as we watch. Well, dude, if it's Tenet, she is not alone. Completely incomprehensible. When we bone, she usually finishes first. And once she's done, she says she's too tired to help me

or will say she's hurting. Dude, I ran into that with an ex. She would have an orgasm and then she'd just go dead and limp. And she's like, you can finish, but she'd stop giving me energy back. And I's like, you can finish, but she'd stop giving me energy back. And I was like, I would never do that to you. My dong could die. I'd be down on my knees working my mouth as hard as I could.

Now she seems disengaged with me when we text and even when we're together. Every time we're together, she just wants to smoke weed and then go to bed. I pay for everything and she never offers to soak the bill. It'd be nice once out of every 10 times we go out. I feel like I can feel her disengagement. It's making me think about the area where we aren't comparable. She's type A and I'm very relaxed. Maybe I'm misreading it. At the bottom of it, she's a lovely young lady with a good heart. I do love her very much and can see myself marrying her in the future. I'm usually not the person who bokes their partner first. she becoming a toxic schmole um i was just loving sorry i was just

loving the sentence at the beginning of this where i think my girlfriend's becoming a schmole that made me fucking laugh so hard that is hilarious um yeah, man, I, you know, I've been in situations like this, and you seem like a nice guy, and you say you're not the one to poke first. So, you know, I think you've got to trust your gut a little bit on this one. And, you know, maybe you guys are hitting a rough patch and maybe you need to to create some space between the two of you and sort of you know reassess and reevaluate whether you're right for each other yeah man i don't think she's the one for you yeah she seems like she's kind of disengaged yeah and maybe she wants out but also doesn't know how to get out. Yeah. I'm seeing a lot of telltale signs there. Yeah, me too. Just just a consistent lack of effort and consideration in almost every department. Right. Absence of Christopher Nolan thing. I mean, Tana just didn't make sense. Yeah. But, but I think with the other stuff, you know, picking on you in front of other people.

But I think with the other stuff, picking on you in front of other people, not trying to make sure your needs are met sexually, not ever offering to pay the bill, not wanting to ever go out and just kind of wanting to couch potato. Those to me all seem like kind of symptoms of the same underlying illness that she just isn't into it anymore. Yeah. Unfortunately. I'm sorry, dog. So I see at the the bottom he said he's

got he's never been the kind of kind of exit first it could be a good thing for you to learn how to do yeah is i think that could be really good for you to if a situation is not making you happy for you to take it upon yourself to change the situation i think that's a that's a good thing for someone to have that experience. Yeah. I think he sounds like a really good guy too. And I think your gut and your subconscious is telling you what's really going on. And, you know, maybe I jumped the gun too.

It's like maybe just talk to her about it first, and then I would lay it all out there. Sometimes you can lay out too much stuff. So really pick the top line stuff. That's really bugging you. Cause if you bring out everything, then it'll sound like you hate her. Yeah.

So yeah, I talked to her about the things that are really important to you and, and then see if, if they don't change, then yeah, you know, you know what you got to do. Yeah.

There's someone out there who will do all those things. They won't understand tenant. No one will, but, but they'll do all those things they won't understand tenant no one will but but they'll do all those other things for you for sure yeah and dude and you know it's not right and you will fight you deserve a partner who's going to give you everything that you that you need and and that's uh you know gonna give you the life you know that's gonna that's gonna that's gonna someone that you yeah i think once you find someone that you're like truly compatible with it'll like hit you like a fucking ton of bricks where you're like whoa this is what it's like you know and and when you're when you're deep in the deep in a relationship in love you know and it's it's just you're a little bit, this is what it's like. And when you're deep in a relationship, deep in love,

and you're a little bit blinded by it, you can't really see that it's not right, I don't know, you're in a tough position, but I think you'll get out of it, and I think you'll come out strong and happier. Stronger and happier, for sure. For sure. Yeah. If you want to stick with her i say also obviously talk to her yeah but also start looking at things in her life like what is anything going wrong

she's not happy about like like her post-college situation post-college is a huge like i've talked about it before it's a huge thing like you can be scared about the the new world you're going to be entering right right yeah i mean everyone goes through waves of what's what's going on when you you can be scared about the new world you're going to be entering. Right, right. Yeah, I mean, everyone goes through waves of what's going on. When you hit your 30s, there's a wave of divorcees maybe coming your way. Dude. They're just on the market, you know? You just fired me up, Aaron. Yeah, I mean, it's just like...

Not a divorce, but divorcee. I like mature. I think that's great. What up, my illustrious friends? I'm having an issue with drilling myself at the moment. It's getting to a chronic point where I'm stepping into the drill factory at least twice a day, and I'm starting to think it's not the healthiest of vices to have. This hasn't really been an issue for me, but now I'm seeing it's affecting my relationship with my girlfriend where I can't finish.

JT, you've talked about your porn addiction on the pod. You've come out on top. Any help would be awesome. Keep up the good work. Much love to y'all. Please keep me anonymous as my girlfriend watches the pod sometimes dude a bunch of different stuff you can do one you can go to sex addict meetings which i've done and is a huge help but also my life was in like a really um unsustainable and uh pretty rock bottom place when i went in there so i know it's hard for

people who just have more of like a mundane, you know, issue to, to take that step. You can put a blocker on your laptop that makes it impossible to watch porn. That helps a lot. Me, I was in such a bad place. I gave my laptop to Chad and blocked internet on my phone for like a month and a half. So I just, it just was not accessible to me in any way. But I was again, like you're, I was like in a way crazier place. I don't know beyond that. Like just stay out of the house a lot. And then it's hard.

You just tell someone like, you got to just focus on it. Just have some self-discipline. I mean, the good thing is you have the girlfriend incentive. Like that always helped me is I was like, Oh, this other person's going to be is my problems not only affecting me now, it's affecting people I care about. And that was always strong motivation um so maybe yeah just focus on that that'll always that's always pretty good fuel uh beyond that i don't know what do you think i mean those those steps i gave are pretty like yeah they're heavy duty i like those a lot uh this guy's only twice

a day i don't think i don't think that's like you know no it's not like horrible five a day is probably where you're yeah that's your territory that's right you got an ish yeah um also how young is this guy like he's probably got a lot of energy yeah yeah true yeah you could just be really horny um one thing i do if i'm trying to drill myself less is i'll watch like you know the whole nofap thing is absurd but there's motivational videos that will help you know i'm not saying do like full nofap because that whole community is weird as fuck yeah but there's motivational videos where there's like know, don't jack off.

Become like a better man or whatever. And it does like help where you're like, yeah, I'm not going to jack off for like a few days. It does. It did also. Someone else wrote a question about self-improvement and how do they get through the hard parts of trying to self-improve. And for me, and this is probably go for the guy who's jacking it too much. It's and it's the advice my therapist always gives me. It's just like, can you sit with the discomfort? Cause a lot for me,

like the jacking or the other stuff that get in the way of me being better is me not being able to handle the anxiety I'm feeling. And so I think it's not a matter of getting rid of the anxiety. It's a matter of just being okay with how much anxiety you have so that it doesn't feel like something you have to fix all the time. It's something you can just kind of carry with you right and you do feel better like dude i think i wasn't watching porn or jay and offer and i didn't uh like uh get inebriated before our shows last week and say they go and i had good sets and i was like dude i think it's i think there is something to what you talk about in like channeling that chi right where i was like, you know, I've got all this free floating anxiety, but now I've got, but it's also, you know, it's not bad to have all that anxiety.

It's energy. It's, you know, it's kind of life bubbling up inside of you. So if you can put it behind you and have it push you in a good direction, you know, that's a good thing to harness. It's powerful. Totally. You're going to be fucking powerful, dog. You're going gonna take those two jacks a day and you're gonna turn it into something else and all that jacking energy is gonna go into freaking you know make a nice love to your lady or into inventing something how's that gonna be totally pretty sweet and

there's you know when you become aware of it too uh i think when you become aware of it and how it makes you feel when you jack it then that's like the that's the first step remember the aftermath yeah remember remember how it's going to make you feel and then um yeah sit with the discomfort or you know i'm listening to a book atomic habits where he's just like you know you don't want to make the goal to have like to your habit to not jack off that's just like to you just want to be a guy who doesn't you want to embody a guy who jacks off twice a week nice i don't know i think i got that right what do you mean the number no just the the guy's explanation of like totally guy's explanation of how to adopt new habits. No, I like what you're saying because you're not thinking of it in a restrictive way where it's like, I can't do this.

It's more of like you're chasing the carrot, not running from the stick. You're like, no, I want to be the kind of person. Yeah, I want to be the kind of person who has lots of chi going on, lots of jizz, and is able to contain it, self-contain. And you'll just feel better about yourself. It's, you know, once you get that Indiana Jones ball rolling, it's going to keep rolling. You're going to feel like Doctor Strange. You're going to be like, you know,

swirling different energy streams and just firing them into very precise, accurate directions. Yeah. A lot of guys just going to, do you think relationship stuff has gotten, we always got a lot of relationship stuff, but do you think we get more now? Cause of like COVID,

do you think people are more fixated on romance right now? Because the world's so topsy turvy. I think we've, we've seen. Yeah. Yeah. It seemed to make or break a lot of relationships. What up, Stoked Nation? Chad and JT and hopefully Strider and Joe.

Hope the fellas are doing well out west. About a month into the pod and absolutely eating y'all off the chart content on the daily. Can't get enough of the energy. 26-year-old dude here with some needed direction from the guys. About two months ago, I met a girl who was working a rotation for medical school for five weeks down in Charleston, South Carolina, where they shot the notebook. Where Bill Murray lives. Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, nice. Our vibes were off the charts hanging out on the regular for her time there. Not jumping to conclusions saying we'd end up at the Joshua Tree like Legend Strider and his dank DF, but we just couldn't get enough of each other. When the time came and she had to go back home after her medical rotation to Atlanta, we had to have a talk on what's next because I obviously live full-time down in Charleston. Two weeks go by and still talking every day on the phone.

Oh, they're smitten. Drive back up to Atlanta to see my family and parlayed lunch into the Saturday with her. With an exclamation point. Jokes are all landing. Energy is great. We were having such a blast or so I thought. Damn. She ends up at the end of our date,

letting me know that the long distance is going to work for her, but continues to want to stay close because she thinks it could be something really special down the road. Haven't spoke since and shit is hitting pretty hard. Head over heels for this chick, but wanted some direction and feedback from the fellows on how to deal with it. Yours truly Scott for this chick, but wanted some direction and feedback from the fellas on how to deal with it. Yours truly, Scott.

Tough spot, man. Tough spot. That's such a happy story. Honestly, I was not expecting the butt. No, I wasn't expecting it either. I was so deep. He's in Nicholas Sparks land and I was expecting it just to keep...

That was like when Cameron Diaz rolls up in Penelope's guy after the night out with Penelope. Oh, right. For sure. It's like,

Oh man, turn. Uh, I think, uh, I think he's got to give her what she asked for. It's like space. And I think if you're in her grill still,

you know, trying to, trying to, to you know keep things going keeping it keep it moving um you know trying to trying to trying to bring it back to where it was i think that will probably drive her away a little bit more but i think if you're able to let her feel your absence then that will that will make her think of how much you mean to her good call yeah and then in the meantime now i couldn't do this pretty soon after my breakup i started dating again not because i think i didn't love the person i had been dating i think the opposite i think i loved them so much it loved it left such a big hole yeah that i couldn't sit with the discomfort you know what i mean totally and i was like i gotta get back out there and i gotta kind of run from this feeling a little bit but i would you know if you're a better man than me uh maybe sit with it and just be fucking bummed dude just really like grieve uh this fling

and then uh and then really think about how much you were willing to give and how pure your feelings and, and heart were. And then maybe you'll, maybe you'll feel like a beast on the other end of that. Cause you'll be like, man, I really loved true. And then I think, you know, like Chad said, if you're simultaneously giving her space and time and you were doing all that stuff, I think, you know, hopefully she wis she wisens not wisens up but hopefully she realizes how special it is and she's like oh okay yeah yeah that was the dude but you never know that's the hard part you're rolling the dice yeah it is tough but i do like what you're saying because i i i felt the same way where i was like i need to get back out there and just you know any any i i did feel i i felt the pain but at the same time i was like i need to get back out there and just you know any any i did feel

i i felt the pain but at the same time i was like i can't i've never had that feeling really i have but like not often where i'm like i can't like be alone kind of thing and i was having that that's why i was kind of like i need i need just any kind of connection i need you know give me a message on hinge or something just like something to make me like to to fill the hole in my ego a little bit feel desired yeah um which is nice it is nice but yeah but but it is when you're when you're able to just process it and feel it um but move on at the same time i think that that's when you really, you know, after about a month or so, you really get to a place where you're kind of like,

all right, I'm grateful for the pain. I'm a new man. Let's keep charging. That's some grownup stuff. Yeah. For sure. Yeah.

Good luck to you, man. I don't know. I think it'll work out. Yeah. Me too. Sometimes people, they just got to test you too,

right? Yeah. You know, how many couples break up get back together happened to me it's never like what like a therapist would recommend you know what i mean yeah but it's like people we have our weird processes for figuring out if we want to be with someone especially these days when you have like so many options yeah there's a lot of people out there you could connect with. Yeah. But, uh... What do you think, Aaron?

It gets harder. Yeah, I mean... Aaron, you've become kind of my go-to Relish guy. Yeah, I mean, she's got to focus on her career a little bit. It sounds like there's the potential that she moves up to South Carolina. I don't know. Or you go down to Atlanta because you're from there. I mean, there's always Atlanta cause you're from there. I mean,

there's always a chance that you meet there, but yeah, I think you do have to, you have to give the space. I mean, like if she wants to reach out, she'll reach out little cold blooded of her to do it at the end of the lunch though. Yeah. She, she, she extracted all the good vibes. She got all the thrill of it. And then she was like, oh, by the way, I'm not really seeing this going somewhere. I mean, I've done it too. I'm not, you know, throwing stones in Glass House, but. I mean, she cut it off before they got more intimate, maybe.

That's true. That night or whatever, but. I don't know. That would have been a good moment too, I think. Write a song about her. I listened to that Give Me On, Stuck On You song, and one of the comments is like,

hey, whoever girl broke his heart, thank you. You made him a legend. But all those good love songs, it's because those people were going through it. Yeah. It is crazy when you really look at all the songs, and you're like, wow. Most of it's just about heartbreak or like falling in love and you're like and it's happening to

everybody yeah but it's like they're they're pursuing that yeah i think it feels good in some way yeah even though it's brutal yeah like dude i would much rather be the person who's head over heels in love with the other person than the person in the person who's head over heels in love with the other person than the person in the relationship who's like kind of reluctant. Yeah. You know what I mean? You have less power, but like you're certain of how you feel.

And there's a lot of, I don't know. It feels there's something very like collecting about that where you're like, Oh, everything just makes sense. You're just like, I'm just in love with this person. It's harder when you're like, everything just makes sense you're just like i'm just in love with this person it's harder when you're like i don't know maybe i mean you're probably not going to get as hurt with that one but it just doesn't feel um doesn't feel like as big as it could be

doesn't feel as big as life should be yeah i was journaling today i was i was sort of writing about that that just you know at least you're you're living the ups and downs you know you're not you're not you're not just like coasting you know down the straight highway you're you're on a roller coaster and it's that's that's that's the kind of life you want to live for sure even though it sucks ass sometimes definitely yeah suck it assa it's suck it assa sometimes it sucks ass sometimes but also sometimes you gotta suck that ass yeah but you know that that leads you to you know a wiser dome and you're able to separate yourself from it a little you know have a little bit more of an enlightened perspective to where you can kind of you know it's where you're like yeah i can i can deal with this i can handle it everything's good life is great i'm gonna enjoy each day no matter what

gets thrown at me let's go chad what's your beef of the week uh my beat for the week my beat for the week is with may gray and june gloom uh take it to for those of you who aren't uh familiar in southern california we have may gray and june gloom and that's you know i'm no uh i'm no meteorologist but but from what I know, according to Al Roker, when the temperatures start rising and the sea temperatures start rising, that creates overcast. So right now the sea temperatures are rising and the summer temperatures are coming. And I think most of it has to do with the fact that the sea temperatures are rising. So that's making it overcast here. And it really pisses me off. That has to happen in May and June.

You know, when we're getting into summer. This is summer. It's coming. We're so close. New Fast and Furious is coming out. A Quiet Place 2 is coming out. Movies are coming back out. The world is opening back up. why are you cloudy right now?

that's my beef Aaron what's your beef of the week? my beef of the week is with counting a baby as a person yeah tell them dude we went on a duffy boat ride uh newport harbor uh for mother's day uh which just happened uh not to date this pod but uh and the people who run the duffy boat company which is i mean it's a solid duffy boat company uh so you're taking a lot of liability i get it you gotta have some rules they counted our baby as a

person so oh wow so my brother-in-law had to not get on the duffy boat really yeah it was like eight people max and the baby counted as one of the eight oh my god when she's gonna be on someone's lap the entire time it's ridiculous it's not like there's a shortage of life vests which she couldn't even fit in anyway yeah she's like half the weight that the the minimum of the life vest was so that's just stupid and why why did why do they have a person limit because of weight i don't know because there was plenty of like you probably fit 12 on these things at least to me the only explanation is a weight thing or a life vest thing but like you said it's like no one the baby's not gonna weigh it down and no one's expecting the baby to swim no certainly not that was that was a big fear i'll tell you what having the baby near water yeah dropping the baby in the water someone dropping

the baby in the water oh no can't do it brutal especially if you don't see exactly where it is because it's gonna go straight down it's gonna sink you got to know exactly where it went geez because you only have so much time too like oh that scares the mind of a father dude i love it yeah yeah you're thinking about important shit dude i mean it was dumb and then i mean luckily like the dudes who actually like hook you up with the boat and give you all the instructions tell you how to use it and stuff like that they were super cool obviously they're working for tips too so like they're like hey just go down go down there's a bar like two blocks away like just walk down the public dock there pick them up drop them off before you return the boat i was like cool

so we did that and And then totally fine. Yeah. Didn't sink the boat. We're fine. Nice. Um, I told him we should just totally fuck with them and only I come back. Just be like, I mean, they got pissy. I, I chucked them all overboard.

What are they going to do? Like, what do they care? Yeah. My beef of the week is with tim tebow i liked tim tebow when he was a freshman in college i liked how he ran with power i liked how he seemed to have a lot of chutzpah and then um you know the mythology just got too big and and he seemed to at every opportunity at every turn, be looking to like make it bigger. And you know, he gave that speech after they lost that game to, I think, I forget who it was.

They ended up winning the natty and then they like printed his speech outside on a statue. His speech wasn't even that good. It was kind of mumbled. It was, I mean, you know, I like movies, so I'm used to like really good speeches when I heard that speech and like, I'm here for a speech, but it did not deliver for me. And then, you know, he beat my Steelers in the playoffs in the NFL, but he couldn't throw the ball very well. So he lost out on all of his quarterback gigs,

but somehow that should have been the end of it. That should have been the end of Tim Tebow. You know, he washes out of the NFL as a quarterback, had a great, one of the greatest college quarterbacks of all time, a hot dude. That's the legacy. Then all of a sudden he just like, he keeps getting tryouts and he's running around with no shirt on at two a days. And like, I love to have my shirt off, but you know, I don't know if I'd do it in that situation. If I was Tebow, I think I would, I would think of myself as a distraction. And then

he tries out for minor league baseball and that becomes like a media circus. And that should have been the end of it. But somehow this guy, you know, gets away from his real passion, which is circumcising babies in like Thailand. That's what he likes to do when he's not doing these sports larks. Are you serious? Yeah. And I'm against circumcision. I say let the baby keep the nerve endings and just clean that sucker. I think it's weird that we, you know, mutilate our peckers right when we come out.

I think it's just setting us off on a bad vibe, starting out on a real bad vibe. Yeah. Welcome to life. Yeah. Welcome to life. How about we chop the little sensitive part off the tip of your dick? You know, if you just say that to someone abstractly, they're like, no, don't do that. But we're all just so in the, you know, in the, uh, in the matrix. Um, so yeah. And then now it turns out he's, he's, he's, he's trying out to be a tight end for the, uh, the Jaguars. He's switching positions and he got the gig cause his college coach is the head coach of the Jaguars now. And I just hate it. It's just like,

I'm just done with Tebow. Just get out of there, man. I'd rather watch some, you know, second stringer from Bama go out for that spot. I just, I'm just done. I just, I think the guy just should just be on TV and I could just ignore him there. But this horse's ass just keeps inserting himself into, into the sports conversation. He keeps winning the day with, with being on the front page of media coverage. And I'm, I'm just done with it. I'm'm done with you t-ball i've been done with you you handsome ass it's good stuff who's your babe of the week my babe of the week my babe of the week is jagged edge our r&b group from the early 2000s uh

Nice. You know, it's Mother's Day. We just had it. Not too long ago. Yesterday. I made a big emotional Instagram post for my wife because it's her first Mother's Day. But I just wanted to be,

to not forget my own mom. She's been through a lot. She's beaten cancer twice. She raised me. She's very, very kind to me in all that. So, yeah, I just want to give a shout out to her. She doesn't listen to the pod, but thanks, Ma.

Nice. Dude, I'm going to have to, you know, there's going to be a big miss on my part. Got to give it up for the moms, dude. Yeah. Happy Mother's Day to my mom. I was running a little bit late, forgot to get the gifts at Nordstrom's.

I got them wrapped and I left them there overnight. No one was that surprised when I didn't have gifts,. But yeah, I love my mom to death. She's the greatest. She was ripping at cornhole this weekend and there's no one like her. She's a star. You're a star mama. I love you mom. You're the best. I love JT's mom. But my prior babe of the week before Aaron made me step up and give love to mom was similar to Chad's in that it's a song. And it's a song that always puts me in a good mood. And I would defy anyone to listen to this song and not be in a great mood afterwards. And it's Could You Be Loved by Bob Marley. Could you be loved?

And be loved and be loved? And give love. Is that what he says? Yeah, yeah. Could you be loved and give love? That's better. And I guess- It crushes in Blue Crush.

It's so good when they're driving the car, right? Yeah. I think about it all the time, dude. Yeah. And then I was reading the Spotify, you know, they had the little thing. And I guess Bob Marley was flying home from Brazil and he was trying to make a song that would be a hit in america because he wanted to break into the audience here and he's like okay i'll put more of like a disco beat on it and then he came up with could you be loved and it's like did the guy drill it or what yeah

you know bob marley's got a deep catalog of songs but i i stick to the top ones sometimes just that and is this love and i'm just feeling good i'm just basking in a glow so yeah thanks thanks uh bob i mean he literally his best of is called legend legend yeah chad what's your legend of the week? Uh, my legend of the week is grit, not the food. Uh, the, uh, the thing you do when you keep doing something.

Um, whenever I'm having an off day, whenever I wake up and I'm, I'm like feeling off, you know, especially in May gray when I wake up and I'm just, you know, look at the sky and I'm just like,

you know, I want to curse the gods. Um, I try to curse the gods. Um, I try to, uh, I try to embrace my inner grit and I go to the gym and I run it out and I run as hard as I can. Um, because that's how, I think that's how you get through it. You know, push yourself through it. You gotta be like, you'd be like, you know, I'm feeling off, but I'm not going to let it control me. I'm going to get on that treadmill and I'm just going to run it out and I'm going to get through it. And I'm going to, you know, I'm going to find, I'm going to find that inner happiness within. And for me, that's through running and then an ice bath.

And that's what I did today. I woke up, it was cloudy. I was like, oh. Looked at the forecast for the week, partly cloudy. I was like, oh. So I went to the gym and I ran it out. And I didn't want to do an ice bath at all. I got in the ice bath and I ice bathed.

And that made me feel better. Nice, dude. Yeah. And also my mom. My mom, hey mom, you're the best. I love you. Sweetest woman in the world. She's the most awesome person in the world.

Your mom's awesome. Dude, I've been thinking about grit a lot too. I was getting myself fired up. It's going to be in my quote of the week, but I was watching stuff that was all about just taking hits and keep coming. Yeah. It's the best. It's so good.

That stuff just gets you so fired up. Aaron, what's your legend of the week? My legend of the week is Tom Hardy's Walk. He's got a good game. Do you ever guys ever watch the show Taboo? That was his show that he did with his dad on FX. He wrote with his dad, yeah. Yeah, it was on FX. That's right. I didn watch it it's it's really good it's really interesting it's it's

slow developing but there's a ton of great actors in it and um and just there's there's just these long shots of him walking through this old you know 1800s town in england it's just the fucking best i could watch that all day long just him walking through this town with a top hat on and a coat it's pretty pretty amazing i was talking about talking about tom hardy last night i just uh i just noticed that there's venom 2 is coming out the trailer just dropped which i couldn't believe they're making a second nice i think it was the film critic from slate i think her name's dana i'm gonna get it wrong i'm gonna combine her name with another uh woman on her podcast but i think it's dana dana butler dana scott but she was talking about how his like best physical attribute

is his mouth he has like a very attractive mouth but then he's done like four movies where his mouth is obscured for a vast majority of the film and it's almost like he's like oh you think this is like my best asset i'll take it away and i'll still be compelling because i think it's his eyebrows you think his eyebrows are better yeah interesting well he should shave them for his next movie he might show us what you can do tommy uh my legend of the week is um and chad we might be in conflict here because i think this was your beef at one point. It's Bill Gates. That's your legend.

Bill Gates is my legend. Because dude, I know he's going through it right now. Going through a tough breakup. Look, the guy gets, he gets dinged up by the public all the time. And I guess he is like the biggest landowner in the world. And you know, he started, he's trying to start his own green revolution. But you know, we have to be skeptical of that. Like, I'm sure there's some problems coming from it, but look, I think the guy's trying to help. I think he's just, you know, he's the richest man

in the world and he's, he's trying to do good. And you know, it's hard for one person to do good. They're going to make tremendous mistakes. And, uh, but, but beyond that, he's going through a breakup. The guy's going through a tough time. He lost his lady. And I know how helpful Call of Duty was for me with my breakup, that I could get on there with my dogs and play on a Bill Gates platform, Microsoft Xbox, and hang with the homies. So I want to extend an invite to Bill Gates and say, bro, if you're feeling glum, you can hop on the sticks. I'll give you my handle, and you can run quads with me and the boys.

And you'll get some good banter in. We can even talk about the Melinda thing as much as you want to talk about her as little as you want to talk about it. We'll drop prison. We'll get some recons and you know, we'll work collectively towards getting that dub and we'll stack bodies too. So just to, you know, take advantage of some of the stuff you have, namely Xbox and get on there with the homies and get yourself right. Take as much time as you need, but put in those hours.

Boost that KD. It's going to help you out, Bill. So thanks for doing that for me. So I want to reciprocate and say you can do the same with me. You can play Call of Duty with me. Hell yeah. Chad, what's your quote of the week? Or no, did you already say your legend?

Yeah. Yeah, Chad, what's your quote of the week? My quote of the week is from Davidid goggins just in the grit theme greatness pulls mediocrity why do i always fuck up my quote greatness pulls mediocrity into the mud nice what does that mean i don't know greatness pulls mediocrity into the mud it means it means you know if if if the world or if or if your own mind is trying to make you mediocre you take that mediocrity media media mediocrity and you face plant it into the mud so you're like a bully yeah but you bully that but to your mediocrity so you're allowed to bully

your mediocrity what if that's like your sensitive side no no we're not talking about that no separate things they exist they coexist but in different departments yeah you kick mediocrity in the balls like you still say you still say like oh i feel all these things and i and i'm empathetic but then you're like but also i'm I'm going to drill some butt today. Aaron, what's your quote of the week if we're going to after it? We're just doing quote of the week. Yeah, I bungled that. Well, this is a lyric from Jimmy Eat World that I think will help our,

and I think you should listen to this song if you wrote in today about relationships and ending and potentially a long distance thing. It's from the song Cautioners on Bleed American from 2001. It's verse two, first lines. I'm making my peace and I'm making it with distance. Nice. But seriously, listen to the song over and over you'll get you'll get over pretty eventually or you might just cut yourself open i don't know hey good good tool to have in the kit cautioners on the belt uh my quote of the week is from the

film creed i think it's one of the best movies of like uh the last 10 15 years i just think it's perfect the way they wove it into like the existing Rocky mythology, the casting, and then just all the details in it, the relationship with Tessa Thompson's character, the relationship with Rocky. And then, you know, his relationship with Apollo, who's gone. It all just works for Adonis Creed played brilliantly by Michael B. Jordan, who just has, you know, loads of gravitas. And so this is the quote from the final fight when he's fighting pretty Ricky Conlin, who he's a huge underdog against and he's getting his ass whipped. And then in the 11th round, he gets knocked down to the ground. He's out on the ground. And then he just flashes to all the

things he cares. It's about like, it's like Rocky suffering from like leukemia, you know, his relationship with his girlfriend. And then, and then the last thing he sees is his dad like floating in the ring. And then he just wakes up with like a lion's roar. And he gets up and they're like, he's got his daddy's heart. And he goes into the corner and his eyes shut. So they should stop the fight. But it's really nice filmmaking detail. Like the cut man taps him on the back of the neck.

So when his eyes covered, he can still see how many fingers the doctor's holding up. And then Rocky who let Apollo die by not throwing in the towel against Ivan Drago and Rocky IV, doesn't want to make the same mistake again. So he's like, I'm throwing in the towel. I should have stopped it with your dad. And then Adonis Creed goes, no, don't do it. I gotta prove it. And then Rocky's like,

prove what? And then he goes, then I'm not a mistake. Dude. Dude. Fires me the fuck up, dude. Let's go. And then Rocky goes, all right, but if I'm going to let you go back in there,

I need you to go kick the shit out of there. I need you to go across this ring and knock this son of a bitch out. Tell me that. And then he goes, I'm going to knock this son of a bitch out. And he goes, I know you will because you're a creed and I love you.

Dude, I get you. Dude, I get so fucking hyped, dude. I just watched that clip on YouTube daily and it gets me so jacked. I don't know. I think that movie just like the vibe of it is so great. Like they don't at all question whether he should go back in the ring. Like if the eye injury is too much,

which is kind of a gnarly message, you know what I mean? It's like, it's like, no, this guy should risk like potential blindness in one eye to prove something to his dead dad and to himself but i just love that it went there and then it's like no i'm we're telling this story this is a rocky story okay this is about putting all that stuff it's about putting everything to the side and just proving to yourself that you're

like worthwhile and that's the story i'm like oh man i love it i mean it's good it's good they didn't do it but they could have also gone with, because in the first movie, Rocky cuts his eye open. Yeah, cut me. Cut me the ear. Yeah. But it's kind of good they didn't. They deviate enough. Because you probably think they're about to.

Right. They're so smart with that stuff. Yeah. He still loses the fight like he does in the first Rocky, but they find their own way of getting there. It's just, I don't know. I think it's just a brilliant movie. And then the training montage when he's running

the fucking dirt bikes in Philly. Oh, it's so sick. It's so sick. So Ryan Coogler, what's up, dude? Say what up. If I see you, I'm going to say what up. If I saw Ryan Coogler, I'd spaz out. I'd go up to him and be like, hey, man, I've got a really hot girlfriend.

Will you take a photo with her? And then I'd put on a wig and get in there and be like, it's me. It's me, dude. I want to take a photo with you. I'm hot. Chad, what's your phrase of the week for getting after it um my phrase of the week for getting after it is uh let's out drum the energizer bunny oh that's like john henry shit man no one can no one can

out drum the energizer bunny no human man can do that except for this squad let's go dude aaron what's your phrase we're getting after it let's go do a monologue never a bad idea my phrase the week for getting after it i might have done it before too it's um something my dad always says in an action movie when the protagonist does something gnarly uh near the end to kind of like save everybody's life or you know save the day my dad just always goes rock and roll sushi it just fires me up that's awesome all right i don't know what that means there's a place by me that

serves rock and roll sushi i literally think it was the name of a restaurant and it got stuck in my dad's head and then he just says it when things get exciting yeah but i think it is a nice way to summarize exciting action rock and roll sushi i love that that's great all right dudes that's it well uh we did it that was fun yeah it was great yeah aaron thank you as always aaron you're a great guy thanks man uh stokers drink fruit smash and leave a review and don't drive when you drink it yeah no all right see you guys you Alright, see you guys.
