That's 10.3030 Wednesday, August 14th Let's start the show. How much water are you drinking in a day? I drink like a Probably a bottle's worth in the morning

Probably a few Four or five three or four glasses. A day? I don't know. You're supposed to have eight a day. Yeah, probably not enough. That surprises me. Yeah, I've never been on board. You know why?

Because it makes me pee so much. So I'm like, I don't wanna do that. But you're such a health optimizer. Right. I think my optimization stuff has taken a little bit of a backseat. Right. I'm more of enjoying.

I like to stay healthy and like be in shape, but I'm not, I'm not like the biohacking. You meet biohackers and they look miserable. You know what I'm talking about? Right. So like you, you like met through your biohacking, you started hanging with more biohackers and you realized this ain't my party. It's, you're stressing yourself out too much to where you're like trying so hard to be healthy that it's, you're trying so hard to be healthy

that it's stressing you out. And I think it's having the reverse effect even though they look fantastic. So you're a bit more like McConaughey now. Yeah, I think so. Like they people are like, what do you do to work out? He'd be like, I just sweat every day. That's pretty sick.

Yeah, he kept it super general. Yeah, oh, okay. Just like lifestyle positive. Yeah, yeah. Or do you think that was a boning comment? No, no, it's just so general, it's so funny. I just sweat. Yeah, some guy like a day laborer

could be like, yeah, me too, man. Well, my first interpretation was like, oh, he's just out in the heat. Right. He could be just planting carrots in his garden. That's not about sex either. Dude, could be though. Yeah. I love working out. It's like one of my favorite things to do. So,

I still work out hard. Like I'll do a hot yoga and I got a pull-up bar. So, I'll do the Murph now. Oh, did you start using that? Oh, you said you've been using it. I love it, yeah. And you've done two half Murphs in the last two weeks? The past week, so I installed it last Monday. I'd say in the past week I've done three half Murphs. It's pretty badass, man. Is that 50 pull-ups?

Yeah, roughly. The pull-ups are my weakest point. But that's what I was gonna say, because we did the Murph together and your cardio is insane and like everything was slamming and then the one thing- Pull-ups are weak. But now you're fixing it. But your pull-ups are good.

That's where I'm best. You're crushing the pull-ups. But my cardio is no bueno but my pull-ups were good. Right. Yeah, you're cranking those pull-ups. But now you're gonna, you're on it. I'm working on it. You know, I actually I was thinking this on the way.

I'm really into the idea of having a Jake Gyllenhaal physique. I think he is kind of like of the now, he's kind of the Brad Pitt. Jake, can we pull up Jake Gyllenhaal's body from Roadhouse? And even him in Presumed Innocent. Oh, does he look good in that too? I haven't seen it yet.

He's just like, when he's wearing a sweater, you're like, oh, he's in shape. Oh, so it's even like his clothes body. Yeah, when it's closed. He fills it out. And it's like, he's filling it out. That guy's taken care of. I heard that show's good.

Dude, I was obsessed. But how are you? Are you open about the... The hernia? Yeah, yeah. Actually, my first time talking about it publicly. Yeah, I have an ingu the hernia? Yeah, yeah. Actually, my first time talking about it publicly. Yeah, I have an inguinal hernia. I'm pretty sure I have a ventral one as well.

Yeah, inguinal is the most common. It might be inguinal. And that one is down by your groin. And it's not really a problem yet. It's a relatively small one centimeter wise, but it is gonna impede my ability to become a jujitsu master. Right.

You know what's funny is like, and the ventral one, it's tough to feel it because I'm quoting the doctor. I have such strong anatomy. Dude. That it's hard to feel under the ab muscle and see if there's a hernia there. Yeah.

Quoting the doctor. She was saying that to a girl who was sitting in on her doctoring that day. And she was like, this young man has great, she called me young, she said, this young man has great anatomy. And she's like, it's very good to see. She's like, you see these abs here? I was like, yeah.

And then she's like, you have multiple hernias. Dude, I also laughed. She was poking me in my groin area and telling me to cough. And I started cracking up laughing. I felt very immature, but a good doctor. And I think they're gonna do a CT scan here and I'm gonna discover that I have two hernias.

So I might have to get them operated on because the other alternative is just lifestyle modification. But I don't know, I've worked out on it now. The doctor said I can keep lifting, just don't do. I can't do Pilates and I can't do stretching, which is so funny. Oh, so you just got to do legs. I got to do like, but can't do squats and deadlift. Oh damn.

Because that puts too much pressure on the stomach. So what can you do? What have you been doing? I did shoulders, I did back. I'm going to do like a chest today. And then when I do legs, I'm just going to do like the machines, like hack squat, like the hack squat machine and then I'm going to do the like leg extensions and leg curls and stuff like that. That's awesome. So I don't know, my functional fitness might go down, but aesthetically I think I'll be fine. Yeah. Not that anyone, you know, I don't know. No, we care. Do you know what I mean though? We care. I know, but like, I don't know if anyone's ever like, like I always think I look better in the mirror

than it ends up looking on camera. Oh, that's just the nature of the camera. That's just the beast. I mean, they say it adds 10 pounds, dude. It does add a lot of weight. It adds a stone. I don't know how much a stone is. Isn't that crazy?

Some people weigh by stone, like rugby players. Dude, Kennedy asked me last night, she's like, how long is a Fortnite? And I was like, like 20 years. A Fortnite? That a score is 20 years. I know, I thought. How long is a Fortnite?

Two weeks. No one knows that. Oh dude, thanks, I'm gonna send this to her. That's crazy. Did she know? No, no one knows. But I think they just figured that out. Right? Yeah. Jake did you know? The only Fortnite I know is the video game. So yeah and then the Taylor Swift album. Oh, yeah, I didn't even think about that. Oh

Guys put on your headphones you might hear me a little better too. I don't know dude hack squad still squat corn uncle Rico Yeah, maybe I shouldn't do those either. I gotta do something Where I can add a heavier load There is there is no better feeling than getting a pump though. It really is life changing. I was really sad when I thought I wasn't gonna be able to lift anymore. Cause if you go on Reddit with hernias, it's a bunch of bummer dudes being bummers.

But then if you like, like a ton of UFC fighters have had them and like continued to fight. But yes, people say don't get the surgery because they literally put a net in there. And then you found out about it because we had a great weekend. We went down to the-

Oh, the Axe, dude. Yeah, go Redwoods. I've actually said rude things about lacrosse because it was foreign to me. And I don't know, I guess I only had bandwidth for so many sports and whatever was left over went to just being rude to other ones. But you know, that was my ignorance.

Dude, we went down to professional lacrosse league in San Diego. What an experience. It was awesome. Cheering on the Redwoods, watching the, it's a great sport. It was, dude, and I had this, I was like, you know, I'm not a big sports guy.

So I was like, oh, it'll be cool, you know, but I was like watching the games, I was like mesmerized. I was like, this is sick. It's an awesome game. It's awesome. And the shots too, some guys had monster shots. And also the lax bro is very specific. Someone described him, maybe he was sort of like a finance athlete.

Yeah. It's like the fittest guy at JP Morgan. Yes. Dude, lax is sick. It makes me want to play. I used to play a little bit in high school. Who was the Canadian guy who's like the top scorer? Oh, like Tate?

Tate. Tate. And so I guess Canadian guys, because they have their own league up there and they play with walls, like it's hockey. And they don't switch hands the way American players do. So this top scorer, he only basically plays with his left hand. He only attacks cutting in like a winger. Awesome to watch him go. But then the Redwoods have like the all time leading scorer and he's super versatile with a big strong butt. He's just boxing dudes out on his way in.

Look at that. That might be him. Yeah. What's his name again? I think it was Spinel. Yeah, Pinel. Pinel. Rob Pinel. Dude, yeah. Great physique. Awesome build. Thick, thick dude. Strong dude. Rob Penel. Dude, yeah, great physique. Awesome build.

Thick, thick dude. Strong dude. Good low center of gravity. And he would be, he plays behind the net, which is kind of like the point guard position looking for angles. Yeah, attack, yeah. And then he'd just see the movement and go for it. Dude, it was awesome.

I mean, some of those shots were just top shelf, clean, so sick to watch. And we got to hang out with Luke Maxwell, which was so fun. Great guy. And Dustin. What's Dustin's last name? He's like Dodie on Instagram. I think. Who were the really big YouTubers who also started the league? Oh, Colin and Samir. Colin and Samir, super nice guys. We're talking to Samir, he's being like, I know they're super successful, but he was like, oh, how's it going?

I was like, oh, we're pitching shows, just always trying to figure it out and stuff. Like, how you doing? Like, you got any guests you're excited about? I thought he was gonna say like, oh, we're pitching shows, you know, just always trying to figure it out and stuff. Like, how you doing? Like, you got any guests you're excited about? I thought he was going to say like, you know, Nikki Glaser or something. He's like, yeah, we got a Mark Zuckerberg and then Bill Gates. I just started cracking up laughing. I was like, oh dude, nice. That'll be cool.

Dude, they get crazy. He's like, we have Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Peter Atiya. They had the CEO of Instagram on. He's like Scott Gell, which is basically the biggest people in the world who literally like shape it. Yeah. It was pretty sick.

It was super nice guys, but... But they've been doing YouTube for 12 years. I started watching them just to learn a little bit more about YouTube like a year ago and they've been, dude, they've been at it. They've just, you know, took them a while I think to kind of figure it out and then they just launched. Pretty cool story.

Yeah, and they do kind of just conversations on like how to build a business. The creator economy. So they like free like people who want to be content creators. That's what we do. Basically everyone now. Yeah, dude, it's true. Also, the hits in lacrosse. Big. One guy got knocked out. Did he get knocked out?

Yeah, they stick him. Sick, dude. That ball flies, too. Some of those shots are like 100 miles per hour. Danny does a great job with the fan experience too. They got the dunk tank. We can whip the... So you beat me whipping the ball. Right. You hit 62 miles an hour. I think I capped out at 57. I mean you were up there dude. I was sligging. Okay, well let's asterisk it with a hernia. I did just find out about the hernia, so I was a little bit hesitant, but I don't know, dude.

You know, Robert Whittaker fought with a hernia. Kamara Usman fought with a hernia. The Rocks had a bunch. Jason Momoa had one. Yeah, I'm not lame for having them. Dude, that's so funny when you've gotten conditions. Herpes and a hernia. Brad Pitt has them. All the hers, dude. I got them. Dude, you do have like the sickest afflictions.

Hernia, herpes. That's like the coolest dudes get those. For sure. It's all from doing stuff. Like you don't get a hernia and you don't get herpes from sitting on your ass. Yeah your kids are gonna be like, Dad how'd you get herpes and a hernia? You're like from lifting and fucking? Banging plates and banging pussy dude. Yeah dude. How else? That's so sick. They'll be like, Dad that's so sick. Dad you're a beast but don't touch me. You can't have my vape. Yeah you can't. Don't touch my stuff. I do have to wash my hands a lot. All right, should we call this dude? Yeah.

How are you guys doing tonight? Doing well, man. How are you? Very good. Just, you know, just tuning into Twitch here. Just, you know, I'm just, I have a dilemma on my hands. I need some help. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah Yeah go for it brother. Yeah so just a quick quick quick you know

context I'm here in Northern Virginia I got a pretty solid you know pest control office job here with my really really good friend. Nice. But here's the sish. I don't really mess with my general like my general manager. That's the thing unorganized Super understaffed Here's the thing I'm thinking about moving on But I don't want to necessarily backstab my best mate. You know what I'm saying? Wait, okay back up a sec. So, you know't you don't like your manager, but he's your friend

So yeah, yeah context context. Oh My really good friend one of my best mates owns the branch Okay, and yeah, he has a person below him and that is my general manager So it's not really I don't mess with them. It's more so, hey let's wake up buddy, it's busy season. We're understaffed, we don't have supplies. What's going on pal? I'm out in the field, I should be in the office. What's going on? I know I told my best mate about it Mm-hmm. He said hey, I completely understand. I Understand your frustrations. I'm gonna elevate this but don't expect anything to change. I

said Please That is not chill Which you know, I think I'm moving on I have a job offer for decent amount of money Here's my main dilemma Why give my best mate the consideration the The common courtesy to let him know I am circling around

Do I just kind of treated it like any other job? I? Think he probably figures you're doing that based off the information you've already given him. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I think you've already brought it up to him. If you're, you know, you're working under him. If you say you found a better opportunity, a better job, he shouldn't be upset about that.

Especially considering the fact that he told you that although your complaint is valid, he's not gonna be able to change it, to better suit you or help you, or give you what you want. Yeah, would you rather suffer in this job and be annoyed and be like, oh, I'm not able to really do it, it's go time and no one's able to go with me, or just suffer in that and please your friend,

or would you rather cut ties now, probably maintain the friendship, I'm sure it'll be all good. And then go on to this better opportunity, with more cash and just say, hey dude, let's grab a Dunkin sometime and hash it up. I gotta move forward. Not like y'all like the show like I just applied to the new place today

Hopefully, you know everything goes well sort of like a referral thing with my boy but I Just feel like they're gonna be Completely blindsided cuz although I'm frustrated like I'm the type of guy to just push through it, you know, and so are they They'll be you know, they'll, they'll adapt to just and overcome, man. Just like, uh, general Pajanski said, I think the thing you gotta decide is you gotta, I think you should take this other job. I think you already know you're going to do it too.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, So essentially what I'll be doing, my good friend also works there. We will both be essentially monitoring a dashboard of cargo planes. So pretty much being a dumbed down air traffic control from a remote location.

Nice. Yeah. It's actually a pretty fucking sick ass gig to be honest. It's awesome, man. Yeah, you definitely gotta do it. So then the question is, do you, sorry to cut you off, but do you, do you mother fuck the general manager before you depart? Is that what you're asking?

Like, do you just tell them, hey man, just straight up, you're a bitch. You don't look out for the people who work here. All you care about is sitting on your fat ass and making life as easy as possible as it can be for you. while you're doing that we're out there sweating our asses off and busting our backs trying to make this business work and I want you to know one thing we may work for you but none of us here respect you you limp dick fat testicle sweaty asshole hairy bitch dude write that down say. Say it verbatim.

And if he's not Harry or whatever, I'd still call him Harry. Yeah. Make him wonder. No, for sure. Make him wonder if he's delusional. Like, am I Harry? Do I have fat testicles?

I thought I had little nuts. Yeah, like, it's just, I'm just in a weird predicament, you know? Like, I hear you, I understand y'all, but like, I don't necessarily, you know, hate my boss. It's more so just like, he knows he should be doing these things and he's out there busting his ass with us, which is why, which is the result of him not preparing, right?

We shouldn't be doing all, doing all these things. Like we go out in the field, right? We go out service houses as a technician, as a pest control technician. If he had enough of those technicians, he wouldn't necessarily have to be in a field. He's a general manager. He's a head honcho. Oh, so he's, so he's working harder, but not smarter. Exactly. And that is not a good way to go about things, which I would.

He's doing a great job at, you know, hustling. He's doing good. No one can get smarter. But yeah, but my God. I know this from firsthand experience with myself. You cannot be smarter than you are. You're born with like a thing, like a ceiling thing. And then like you can't, it's over. Dude, I think I'm a fucking, I'm out of this bitch, man. I'm blowing with this popsicle, Sam.

Fucking A, man. Watch Friday Night Lights, man. We love you. Talk to you later. I appreciate it. Y'all have a great night. Friday Night Lights, man. We love you. Talk to you later. I appreciate it, y'all. Have a great night. Late.

He knows. He's a good dude. He knows. Should we bring up your other announcement? Yeah, good timing. This is serious. I'm not doing this as a bit. I've made a choice, a decision, and I'm really

excited about it. And the steps I've already taken have been really cool and interesting. And I'm actually going to run for city council in the city of Burbank. Dude, I love it. Thanks, man. I called you about it today. I think it's awesome. Thank you, man. I really hope you win. Yeah, I want to hear more about the process because is the election in November? The elections in November, same day as

the general. Okay. And yeah, what's the process been like? Well, so the most fun part of the process is you have to get 50 signatures from other residents and voters to get officially on like the ballot. Yeah. And so I've just been going door to door in my neighborhood and talking to people right, left, and in between, figuring out what they care about and if they're willing to not vote for me, but at least give me a chance to be elected. And it's been awesome.

I've got to meet a ton of interesting people and find out about a lot of the issues in the town. And what got me inspired to do is I just feel like cynicism is so high right now towards government. And that bums me out because I think we have to believe in our institutions. And I want the people who pay attention to what I do to feel like they have agency in improving the government and the world around them. So I was feeling real apathetic, not apathetic, but I was so bummed out, especially when it was Biden and Trump about the election.

And I was like, man, this sucks. This isetic, but I was so bummed out, especially when it was Biden and Trump about the election. And I was like, man, this sucks. This is such a shitty situation for me and my politics. And I was like, this sucks. And I was like, it was starting to turn to apathy. And I was like, that's not my personality. I was like, I wanna do something. I was like, so I'll do it in a way

that is not gonna change that, but we'll at least change the things around me. I was like, so I'm gonna run for city council. And yeah, it's been great. I like doing it. But the hard part right now is I got to finish my 410 documents, which are like the financial committees. And dude, it's hard to understand. I talked to our account about it. She couldn't totally suss it out. So I have to hire a treasurer. So I've been interviewing people. I'm a little late in the game, but I'll find somebody to help me get it done.

And in terms of like a campaign, like what's the, what do you have a plan there? Like how I'm gonna do it day to day? Yeah, because I, you know, I'll go, I live in like a different town. I'll see like signs. I got it, I'm gonna have to put up signs. Yeah.

I'm gonna have to put on events. I'm just gonna get in there and mix it up and try to make things a little better. And dude, it's been awesome. I talked to like union guys and they're telling me like about some new developments in downtown that aren't going to union people. And I'm like, you know what?

These jobs gotta go to the union. But then I'll talk to small business owners, like a guy who owns a plumbing company, he's like, I can't do it union. We won't make any money. I'm like, you got a good point too. And I'm like, you know, I'm not dogmatic ideologically. I feel like there's different solutions for every problem.

And you're always gonna disappoint someone And I'm just excited to get in there and have some skin in the game if I win that's it I feel I feel really good about it And I'm stoked man. Yeah, I'm Excited to help out campaign or do whatever you need. Did you put like a I don't know. It'll be fun Yeah, it'll be a fun process and it's cool So Nick that one of the guys in Burbank is leaving to take Laura Friedman's job

because she's leaving to take Adam Schiff's job. And so it's just fun learning more about the whole process and like there's people who are so into it. So are you gonna like put on an event and like give like a speech and all that stuff? Yeah, totally. Like full on politicians? I wrote my candidate statement.

Did you really? Yeah, and I'm balancing, you know, I wanna be authentic, I wanna be transparent. I don't wanna change how I talk, but also I have to like be sincere. And that's something I'm excited about. It's like, I can't just like, like I have this instinct to make a joke sometimes.

And I'm like, hey, like I'll meet people when I'm asking for signatures. And there's a real, the trust that people give you is like real. And I'm like, okay, I don't want to let these people down. Just like an older vet who got neuropathological issues from Agent Orange and like- Oh, wow. He like shook my hand and he was like, hey, you'll make me believe in politics again. I was like, just because I was nice to him and I was like, man, I don't want to let that

guy down. I was like, I got to be sincere and I can't, I can't just try and be funny. I got to step up and be legit for this guy and really try to, I don't know, represent his trust when I'm making choices. And you'd have an office in City Hall, right? I think so, dude. If I went, yeah, you could come in and say, what up, council,

and I'll say, what up, back. And then, yeah, dude, I think it's awesome, man. Yeah, it can come in and say what up council and I'll say what up back. And then, yeah dude, that's a, I think it's awesome man. Yeah, I'm excited to do it. Yeah, I'm pumped. I think that's really cool. And how's the mayor? You talked to the mayor? They're cool man. I think a lot of local government people are really just trying to, that's the other thing I want to give, it's not even like adversarial. I think Burbank's a really well run city. It's got issues like any other place, but overall I think it's really solid. And yeah, I just want to combat that kind of doomerism that people have around government. Cause from what I've seen from

going to city council meetings, it's a lot of people in tough spots, but they're genuine and they're really trying to make it better. I can't speak for like the biggest politicians in the world, but I've read biographies and I think a lot of them are good people who have shortcomings and can be selfish, but are trying to move the ball forward. And yeah, I just want to perpetuate that idea. Do you know how many people are running against? I think it's going to be like seven of us

for two seats right now. Gotcha. And it could be more crowded than that. A lot of people are, I think, going in for it. That's cool, man. Yeah, I'm excited. Yeah, I'm excited to see. I feel really good about it.

I think it's a, man, what a, and what a, like, what a path to, to a path to actually go on a city, to be on a city council. Yeah. And if you're on the council too, I'd be interested to like hear how your perspective changes towards the speeches we give. You know what I mean? Yeah. You're going to be like more stoked on them or you're like we give. You know what I mean? Yeah. You're gonna be like more stoked on them. Or you're like, we were. Some city councils have liked us

because they're getting heat that day and then we come in and kind of lighten the mood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think also some of them just appreciate that we try to bring like a lighthearted perspective to stuff. If you do council, would you want to keep climbing up? I don't think so. I, cause I don't want to think like that.

Cause then I think that's when I'll start making choices that might not be for like, I don't want to make choices cause I'm like, Oh, this will help me get to the next level. I want to make choices cause it'll help the people in the town. And I'm still committed to this. I just think it'll help me with this too. Right. Like it'll just make me give me new inspiration and give me a new vantage point

on stuff that will be valuable. Yeah. And I want to see if I can like not get corrupted. I'm like, can I just help people and yeah, speak truth to power because I'm in a good situation. Like I'm financially secure. I Have other stuff that I like like I there's no reason I shouldn't be able to be honest Yeah, so if I do turn out to be dishonest the whole thing is just totally fucked. It'd be interesting Interesting case. Yeah. Well, that's cool, man. I'm excited. Thanks, man. I'm excited to see you. Yeah. I am in the information gathering phase. But dude, some people, like one lady, I went up to her door and I'm like, excuse me, miss, would you, I'm running for city council.

I need 50 signatures. It wouldn't be a vote for me, but would you feel comfortable signing to put me on the ballot? And she just goes, Republican or Democrat. I go Democrat. She goes, you mean communist. No way. Really?

You walked away. Hilarious. People are really funny. Yeah. And then one Republican dude was so funny. He's like, what are you Republican or Democrat? I'm like, I'm Democrat, but like, no, I'm not super ideological.

I'm like, call myself like a JFK Democrat. Yeah. And I was like, I just think, you know, capitalism needs guardrails and referees, but I believe in capitalism. He's like, nah, I can't do that, man. He's like, I just think, you know, capitalism needs guard rails and referees, but I believe in capitalism. He's like, nah, I can't do that, man. He's like, I'm Republican. Go get that guy's signature. So I went up to another guy. I was like, hey, this gentleman told me to come talk to you. He signed it. And then the guy goes, wait, are you Republican or Democrat? He goes, I go Democrat. He goes, I never should have signed that fucking sheet of paper.

His friend just set him up. It was really funny. friend just set him up. It was really funny. Dude, and if you're in the meetings and stuff, they'd be like, and you, Councilman Parr! Yeah. Just sitting there just... Yeah, I'm gonna have to get ripped. People are gonna be like, you disappointed us. You let us down. Or they're gonna bring up clips of me talking about Dong. Right, dude. Like, this guy's a horse's ass. And I'm gonna be like, yeah, you know.

I'm proud of it. For me, I already thought about that where I'm gonna be like, that time it was, we were talking about Dong in a really good way and I stand by that. That time I could have been talking about Dong better. Dude, that. That.

Oh, that's awesome. I'm excited for that, dude. I'm pumped for you. Yeah, I'm pumped. It should be fun. Should we do another call? Yeah. Salas.

Dude. What's up, baby? Who's this? First of all, JT, 2024, baby, let's go. Let's do it, man. Coach Taylor, I need something good to happen. You got my vote if I did live there. Thank you, man.

So here's the sitch. So my bank SGF, she just graduated with her master's degree this past May. Now she's having a tough time finding a job. So she's been asking me, Hey, you know, why don't you referred me to your job to come work with you? And I mean, I hate to do it. She's, she's wicked smart, but I can't have that happen for obvious reasons there. But you know, wait, but just to be clear, what are the obvious reasons? You can't mix business with pleasure. It led me down bad paths before.

You need a separation of church and state. Like exactly. You need to be able to compartmentalize your life. I need a separation of church and state. Exactly. You need to be able to compartmentalize your life. I need a sanctuary to come home to. I can't be bringing my stuff back. And you've mixed business with pleasure before? No, I have not, but I'm fortunate enough not to, but I've seen it firsthand. It doesn't go well. Sorry so... Sorry, go ahead. Oh, go ahead. No, you go, baby, you go.

I've even gone as far as writing her emails for other jobs to get, so that she doesn't come work with me. And I'm sort of like, I'm running out of excuses. You know I'd tell her you know you don't want this job. It's an engineering job as well so you know I had that going for me and then she met some of my co-workers and they're like these people are not that intelligent. So she's kind of I don't have any room to run there because she's definitely smarter than some of the people that I work with. That's an interesting way though for her to explain why she deserves to be there. She's like, people in the job are idiots.

So I don't have that excuse that she wouldn't be able to do the job. So I guess like what, how do I, how do I let it like be known lightly or, or is there even a way that I could like worm out of this, this sitch? Yeah. So when she first asked you, how did you answer? I think, well, I kind of was like, oh yeah, you know, I'll talk to the boss and you know, I'll see what I can do. And then kind of just left it a little stale for a while until it, it came back up again.

Hoping she wouldn't bring it up again. Yeah, right. You know, after so many rejections, it's a tough market out there, you know, but I'm hoping she wouldn't bring it up again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. You know, after so many rejections, it's a tough market out there, you know? But I'm fortunate enough, and to be honest, we could use her. Like, we keep hiring more and more people. No, don't keep that to yourself.

Oh, oh, locked and buried. There's no way. I mean, I don't know if you wanna lie, but is it worth saying, you know, my boss has a no boning policy? And you know, if she worked there, you know, she'd miss out on the hog. That's true.

We'd have to- Baby. Oh, gosh. You come to work with me. That's actually- You miss to work with me. You get no more of my good loving. Yeah. So is a paycheck worth losing a penis? That could be an approach, but another issue is, two of our really good friends are together, and they're also both, you know both my co-workers. So they are in a relationship at work and miraculously, I don't know how, some miracle, but they're going strong, honestly. I love them to death, great friends.

And she knows them well. You know what I try to do sometimes is I'll send a coded message to someone close to me through a shared artistic viewing experience. So like I'll pick a movie that I know has themes and moments that are super relevant to whatever me and that person are going through and then we'll watch it together and I oftentimes they can be the messenger for whatever I'm trying to say. So there was a movie that came out in 2023 called Fair Play about a couple that works together.

And in this instance, the guy goes kind of crazy because she's smarter and better than him and she's moving up and he's not really doing it. So he goes like total nut bag, awful guy. But I would just play that movie for her. And then hopefully, because people are very suggestible through art. And then afterwards she'd be like, you know what?

I actually don't think I wanna work with you. Yeah, sort of some psychological jujitsu there. And then you're not the bad guy, you just picked the movie. Yeah. Right, I just picked the flick, threw it on. That was the pick of the night.

You could even say, yeah, you can even say we recommended it on this podcast. Oh, like we were just talking about, we love this movie. Yeah, the boys on the pod were saying this one movie is like the most realistic about couples working together. We should watch it. Also, that's me doing you. Also dude, just from the chat, micro dink detective says, J off first, then make your decision. Always good advice. Mom Lem says, I would be honest and tell her you don't want to because of the drama. She also said earlier that if you guys break up,

she'll make you look bad. And also coworkers will think that she has privileges. It'll become too stressful. So, you know. I mean, these are the things that, you know, it's just, yeah, can't have them. I do think Mom Lem is right that you should be honest just because you haven't been honest yet. Like, be honest with her and then if she's still like well I still want to work there and I need you to help me out then call us back and

we'll come up with a more clever solution. But right now the simplest approach seems to be the best. Tell her the truth man and good luck with that. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the thing like she would accept it but it would just it would hurt her feelings. Right. And is that's the thing like she would accept it, but it would just it would hurt her feelings Right and is that yeah three fights will happen because of it like it's worth it It's the best for both of us really Yeah, it's a tough it's a tough stitch dude, I mean I think Man But you know I hear you and I think I have to But you know, I hear you and I think I have to agree with you

that honesty, I think will prevail here. I mean, have you thought about boning in the office though? Oh dude. Dude. You dirty dog. Are you kidding me? Every day. Oh dude.

Dude, you might want to bring her in then dude. You close a deal. But at what cost? Dude, you close a deal and then you nut? Dude, her in then, dude. You close a deal. But at what cost? Dude, you close a deal and then you nut. Dude, it's so hard, dude. Kids, there's so much potential there for a lot of sexual shenanigans, but dude, you gotta think with your bigger brain, dude,

and just not bring her in there. Wait, dude, I'm gonna play devil's advocate right now. Imagine you both get fired for boning on the job. How sick would that be? Bro, it would not be the first time, man. Oh, dude. I've got been cut from several successful J.O.Bs. Forgetting those J.O.Bs, dude.

Dude, yeah, Max Hogburn says you could get lunch BJs in the parking lot. Oh, dude. Dude. Dude, that's pretty sick. All right. Dude, damn. Just think seriously about this, dude.

You might be more upside than downside. I would have my mind made up here. I know, it's pretty sick. All right. Dude, just think seriously about this. You might be more upside than upside. I would have my mind made up here. I know it's so tough, right? Cause you just like, you're vacillating between like not having time for yourself at all to just like, you know, that fire kind of, that light. Oh no, it is so bad. Dude.

This is so bad, babe. Dude, right angled hog says, anyone else sensing the possibility of a work wife What do you think of right angled hogs comment No, dude, you know like I said, I'm an engineer. It's a bunch of freaking fat nerdy dudes like Mechanical chemical electrical Mechanical right on dude, you could get mechanical with that Puzz dude.

Sorry to talk about you. You could get chemical too if your guys' pH balances aren't right. Ooh dude. Oh. You busted for that. You're tingly with it. Make sure you're alkaline. Dude, yeah, be honest with her.

See how that goes. If it doesn't work, call us back and be like, oh man, you know, that's not, and then we'll come up with a more clever solution. But I think the direct approach is the right one here. Or have her call us. Oh yeah, that'd be kind of cool. Yeah, we'll tell her. Oh, that's great. Hey babe, I just found this really great advice podcast. If you happen to have any ailments, give them a call. Right on. And we can refer to chat too. I mean, I'm sure she'd love to hear from Hugh Janus, Booty Snorkler, Micro Dink Detective,

Right Angled Hog, Cream Jeans. I mean, I can't think of any better people to give me life advice. Yeah, that's what we do. of any better people to give me life advice. Yeah, that's what we do. We're in the business of life advice, baby. Oh yeah. And business is- Well, I appreciate you guys tying in tonight, man. It's not about making bills.

Good luck, dude. Love you, man. Thanks, Lodges. I just took my space towel for a sec. Love you. Love you too, man. Love just turned my space down for a sec. Love you. Love you too. Do you know what I watched again?

Was a Pulp Fiction because it's 30th anniversary and they just did the re-watchables on it. Oh yeah, I need to listen to that. So Michael Madsen was supposed to be the John Travolta character and then he decided to do Wyatt Earp, which is nuts. But then the person that Harvey Weinstein wanted was Daniel Day Lewis. In Travolta's spot? Yeah. Interesting. I don't think it would have worked.

You don't think so? I mean, I think actually Daniel Day, he can adapt to anything. So he would have made it work. But it wouldn't have been as cool, light and fun. Yeah, I mean, Travolta brings such a weird vibe that- The characterization's incredible. It's so funny. Yeah.

He's hilarious in that movie. Every line is just perfect. The way he says it, a red marker, a felt pen. Yeah. And the way when he's about to do heroin, the way he takes off his jacket, gracia. Which is gracia. What do you think about Lizzie? You want to hang out with her?

Is that the one with all the shit in her face? No, that's my wife. Yeah. And then they start laughing. All the shit in her face? No, that's my wife. Yeah, we had to. And then they started laughing. All the shit in her face. It was so funny. It's a, dude, I, it's funny, like, that movie is the best movie of like the last 35 years

or so. Yeah. But I think it became so much the standard flag bearer of the best movie that I wasn't that into it. Like I loved it at first, I thought when I was like six. I loved it even then, but then I was like, ah, it's kind of everyone's go-to. But then circling back to it, I was like, it is the best. It's so good. Like the structure is so smart and elegant. The stories are so incredible,

the digressions they go on. And then the acting is just fun. Like Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah. I think he's even better than Travolta in the movie. He's amazing. Yeah. He's incredible. Makes me want to eat a big kahuna burger too. That's bad. Look at the big brain on bread. And then I tried watching Mul and drive the David Lynch movie after. I got a super hot take for the film nerds. I think David Lynch kind of sucks. Yeah. I think his movies are bad. I think he has some moves that I understand why people are compelled by it.

It's like bad on purpose and he's able to recreate that badness on purpose. So that must be skill. But basically what I think he does is he just holds the shot for two extra seconds so that you see how fake the acting is and that makes you laugh because it makes you realize all acting's fake. And then two or three times in a movie, he goes the opposite direction and he makes sure the scene

is like incredibly real and is exactly what your brain was desiring. And that makes you feel like all the fakeness was actually brilliantly set up to just reveal how real the realness is. But I actually think it's all bad. Dude, I tried to watch Mulholland Drive. I couldn't do it. It's, yeah, like even the, like the shot to shot sequencing is so clunky. Yeah. Like he'll go from a wide to a medium

and I'm like, the continuity is so poor. Yeah. I'm like, you don't even know how to do coverage? Well, it's all, you're sort of watching and you're kind of like, is he just being weird to be weird? It is. 100%. Is the weirdness uninspired you're kind of like, is he just being weird to be weird? Is it- 100%.

Is the weirdness uninspired where it's just like, oh, I'm quirky, so here's- Yeah, and it's almost like in place of having craft. Whereas Tarantino's weird, but the craft is so high level that there's a commitment and a sincerity to that that makes it all beautiful. But with Lynch, I'm like, oh, you're a weird guy. I put him in the Hunter S. Thompson and Bukowski category

where I'm like, y'all are just like found like an affect that worked with hipsters, but for me, I ain't buying it. Well, let's think with Tarantino, I feel like when he watched his movies, you can tell he loves film so much. He loves cinema so much. So every choice is kind of inspired by, you know, another movie or something like that.

It's inspired by other art. So you can feel the love in each choice. As opposed to Lynch, where I've only watched part of Mulholland Drive, so I don't have much to speak from. But I was just like, oh, he's just being, you know, he's just like, oh, I'm weird. Like, you know, and you're like, all right, dude.

I don't know, I'll take fucking Michael Bay over you any day. I kind of agree. Because he's weird without like trying to make it cool. He's just kind of a goofball who goes full blast with his desires. Yeah, he's like, let's make this as extreme as possible with hot chicks and explosions. Yeah, they all do hot chicks. It's consistent with all of them. But at least Michael Bay's like, yeah, but I'm not even like, I'm not making it weird. I'm making it awesome and sexy. Yeah. I like that more. But I don't know, I'll watch more David Lynch because

I see the chat just not there like all over me on it. Have you guys been watching the Olympics? No. Yeah, I'm not into it. I'm not a little bit of it. You know, I just, I haven't really taken no. You know, I have, I love them as a kid. I haven't really been interested in watching them. I found a new love, a new sport that I wasn't aware of. It's synchronized diving. Very cool. Yeah, it looks sick. And the fact that these two humans can go off the diving board, bounce at the exact same time, do the exact same move, and make like bounce at the exact same time, do the exact same move, and make like very similar splashes, I would say it's pretty damn difficult, but they make it look effortless.

I don't know. It's insane. Let me show you guys some. Pull it up. I've been very into the Olympics. When the US was behind in golds, I was sad. I was worried, but now we're crushing. Oh, are we ahead now?

I think we're back. We were tied with China last time I checked on golds and way ahead on the overall medal count. I've seen the big moments. I saw like the sprinter win by like the smallest margin. Dude, cause I didn't realize in sprinting it's whose chest crosses the line first. The torso.

Yeah. Which I think is kind of bogus actually. It should just be whoever crosses the finish line period. But I was grateful that he got the dub. And that guy had been talking a lot of shit. So he needed to win. Oh really? Like all is forgiven now that he got the dub.

Dude, then he had a hilarious thing afterwards where he was like, he's like, you know, I got a lot of ailments. I got ADD allergies. I'm dyslexic, but I never let that define me. And all the comments were like allergies. Hilarious. I get runny noses in the spring,

but I never let that stop me from being the fastest guy alive. Dude, and you know, I just gotta say, do the French have the biggest hogs? Two of them. Wait, so there was the French swimmer who had the baguette in his Speedo. And then was the pole vaulter also?

Pole vaulter, I think he's also French. Yeah, I think they might be government plants. I think that might be some kind of sophisticated propaganda because I'm not just giving them bigger dongs than us based on, I think our athletes are right there, dongs size wise. Yeah, good call. It's just such a stereotype that the French are hog masters, baguette dudes, but I think they got plenty of little

Escargo Packers over there. Dude, yeah. Dude, play that again, Jake. I'm sorry. That was pretty sick. How do you get into synchronized? China's real good with their program. Like they find athletes for everything. Oh, look at their triceps just flexed. I think the reason I was into it was because Team Mexico. We're not judging you, man. No, listen, they haven't won a medal in this swimming since 1950. And they have these legends, these two guys, let me see if I can find them on here.

They were literally about to beat the Chinese and the judges kind of fucked them. These guys. Oh, whoa. That's awesome. That's what I'm saying, bro. And Mexico's never had a good sync team before. And then these guys came out of nowhere. Yeah. Not since 1950. And like all these Mexican people went to the event just for these guys. Great bodies. That's awesome. I love it, man. That's beautiful. I mean, they're gonna be in LA in four years.

That's gonna be sick. I'm gonna be very fired up for that. I guess swimming's gonna be in SoFi. Oh. Is that interesting? That'll be really cool though. It's crazy that they can just put a pool in there. Are they gonna do track and field there too?

I feel like they should, but I don't think the two, unless they're like different weeks. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. LA 2020, dude, I mean, it's gonna be here in like no time. Why are multiple people, yeah, I'm circumcised. It's like five people in the, dude, Scotty Scheffler, who's like the best golfer in the world right now,

came final round. He was way down. He shot a 62 and got the gold for the US. Golfing was only brought back into the Olympics in 2016. I didn't even know golfing was in. Dude, they float in and out. There's like this whole separate drama of sports competing to be on the roster.

Like wrestling almost got cut eight years ago. Wow. And they had to find a bunch of rich guys to give money to lobby to get wrestling back in. And I was like, you can't cut wrestling from the Olympics. It's one of the original sports. So when the Olympics are here, what events do you most want to see? Beach volleyball, I love. Indoor volleyball, I love.

Beach is probably my favorite one to watch. And right now, the women's side, we've got a really strong team. And then I like Chase Budinger grew up in SoCal, so I like watching him play. But I don't know if his partner is that good. His partner has been frustrating me. I really want to watch the 100 meter. That's always exciting to see who's the fastest guy in the world. And then I do like the weightlifting. I think I'll definitely check out the weightlifting and then whoever the best US athletes are. What about you? Sprinting would be sick. Swimming, I think it would be cool to watch.

I think diving would be sick. Iimming, I think it would be cool to watch. I think diving would be sick. I think skating, surfing. What else is there? Did Nigel win skating? No. He put up a post about how bummed he was. He's like, I've been bedridden for three days. I love that though. I love that he takes it so serious that he wants to rep the country and get the dub for all of us.

Yeah, dude, I think a Frenchman won surfing. Really? Yeah. Nice. Okay, oh, so we can see where the events are. Okay, cool. So golf at the Riviera, dude. That's sick.

Where's surfing gonna be at? Are they doing it at Trussells? Good call, yeah. Is there, do you see a surfing jig? This is just what it's announced so far and it did say that it's subject to change, so. Does it say so far? Is this the only thing?

Yeah, this is the only thing I can find. I bet track and field is going to be at the Coliseum. Yeah. Oh, that'll be epic, dude. Yeah. That's going to be cool. I'm excited the Olympics will be here. I mean, there's things to be worried about traffic wise.

Like the crunch of all that. But. You know, if we get to go to some of these events and we get to see someone win the gold for America in America, that's going to fire me the hell up. 1993, oh, wow. Yes, this one does have the venues, but it doesn't show what sports in there.

So I guess they kind of made like, this looks like SoFi here with the basketball court. I mean, LA is kind of the perfect spot for the Olympics. It's sprawling. We have so much infrastructure. We've got like 50 different stadiums, fields, and arenas. Yeah. And they're only building more. Like the Clippers are throwing up a new one. Stadium. The swimming at Sofa. That's cool. They did a good job on the

like imagery conjuring. Where's tennis? Carson. Dude, I want to get back into tennis. I keep saying that. I was going to play on Wednesday. I'm going to play. Yeah. I want to play. Do you have a racket? I want a racket. I need to get one.

I played some pickleball. My lady might have one I could borrow. Pickleball's fun. Parking is $80 at SoFi. Crazy. That's absurd. I got a little hack for you. If you, you can park at the old forum and it's only 60.

So I mean, it depends on if you want to save the 20 bucks for the walker. And the walker. Where is all this money going? Who's getting that 80 bucks? SoFi dude. Blackstone or whatever the fuck. Oh, BlackRock?

BlackRock. Dude, it's funny when people play things like BlackRock where I'm like,, you all you know what you do, but I know you're nefarious Yeah, I know you're not in it for us. It's all going to lock. Ead Martin. That's an issue in Burbank right now She's rent control. They're trying to Raise rent control rates beyond what the state mandate is right now. Wow, people are fighting about that Dude, you're gonna be deep in the issues. I know I'm gonna be, if I win, I'm gonna have to make calls that will disappoint some people.

Yeah. Which... They all have other jobs. Other jobs. Unless you work for... LA? LA, they're the highest paid city council members in the country.

Oh wow. They make 200 G a year. Really? That's why Kevin DeLeon won't give up his spot. Hilar Oh, wow. They make 200 G a year. Really? That's why Kevin DeLeon won't give up his spot. Hilarious, dude. I don't know if the Stokers know, but a lot of the LA, like for LA proper city council, they got in trouble because there was a recording where they were talking shit on one of their colleagues saying that she used her

multiracial children as props to better her political standing. And then that got revealed to the public, but I think like a disgruntled aid and the other people on the recording stepped down, but Kevin DeLeon hung in the pocket and was like, no, I'm running again. They're gonna have to boot me from this spot. He is resilient.

When we go to meetings, he just gets ripped. He's just getting ripped the whole time. It's a, yeah, he's, he's in the, uh, he's been feeling that heat for awhile, but yeah, they get paid well, but I think everybody else, uh, works multiple gigs. Yeah. Nury, you know, Nury brought us up one time. I think we met Gil too. Dude, it is, it is cool being in the LA city council. You're like, this is historic.

I mean, it's big issues for them. They're running a big oil tanker of a city that's tough to steer. And they typically do not do the best job. So they're getting grilled left and right. It's one of those gigs where no one comes out of it well liked. Like everyone comes out of it and just, I'm not talking about within the government conversation. I'm talking about just us citizens. Every time those people come up, people are like, nah, I did not like that person. Yeah. Dude, I did Flappers the other day. I finally emailed Josh my avails. Another Josh that I saw you.

Sound guy. Yeah, nice guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess he's moving. A lot of people are moving back to their cities. Chicago, yeah. Yeah, they feel like there's just no opportunity out here, which is a bummer. Yeah.

The comedian Tom Dreeson was on the lineup with me. Uh-huh. And he's a legend. But from like way back in the day, still super sharp, 84 years old, you could not tell by talking to him. It's a credit to work and all the time, it keeps you young. He had like 65 year old energy, still looked good. And he was more talking to the gals in the green room,

which is understandable. But I was like, man, I want to talk to him because I know he's got stories. And he opened for Sinatra for 15 years. Oh wow. So we had great stories about Sinatra. Like I knew Sinatra helped get JFK elected, but then I know after JFK got elected,

he didn't want to be associated with Frank and like his mob ties. So he kind of bailed on hanging out with him. And I asked him about that. He's like, Frank never recovered. He was emotionally inconsolable forever. And then when JFK died, though, he was still sad. He didn't leave his room for three days.

Wow. And then he told this amazing story about how Sinatra saved Johnny Carson's life. Cause Dreeson did, he did Carson 60 times. Wow. And I guess, and these stories are in his book. So I don't think I'm telling tales out of school, but like when Carson would get liquored up,

he was kind of a bad drunk. And he was at this New York bar and he grabbed a chick's butt when he was a little tipsy. It was Joey Gallo, this crazy mobster's, Gumar. And when Joey Gallo found out, he went nuts and he like sent guys out to find Carson and he was going to kill him. And Gallo ended up getting killed by the mob

because he was doing hits without getting approval. Like he was just crazy. He just killed people. Yeah. So NBC, all these places are like, dude, we got to save Carson's life. But no one could get Joey to calm down. He wouldn't listen to anyone. He's like, no, he's a dead man.

And like Carson's hiding. He's like going straight to work, going back to like an undisclosed location. And then finally, Galo takes his family to see Frank Sinatra and Frank meets the family, takes pictures with everyone. He's super nice to him. He's doing like solids for the whole fam. And Joey's like, oh man, you were so nice to my family.

Let me repay the favor. Anything you need, I got you. And he's like, I need you to let Johnny Carson live. And then Joey grabbed Snatcher by the face. It was like squeezing his jaw to like digging his fingers into his face. And then he goes, what'd you say to me?

You'd stand up for that piece of shit. And Frank's like, please, I know he made a mistake. He's a good kid. I know you're a man of honor. Let him live. And then he said, Joey pays the room.

And then finally went, he lives because of you. And washed his hands. Dude, he had like a million stories like that. It was awesome. Total ledge. Yeah. And he was like an old school dude. He's like, Frank was a man of honor. He would stand up for a guy. If you were his friend, Frank had your back and I was like, all right, good. Yeah. Frank. Yeah. Good. That's really cool. Flappers is fun. I like it., all right, good. Yeah, Frank, yeah, good. That's really cool. Flappers is fun, I like it. Dude, it's great.

Yeah, it's a good room. Good room, people are cool. And dude, it was like Jay Leno was on the show before us. Like you get to see people that you're not gonna see anywhere else. Oh yeah, I saw Leno. I watched him a little bit like a couple weeks ago. It was cool.

I was still a little bit starstruck by him. Of course, Jay Leno is huge. It's on TV for a bajillion years. He's been lit on fire. Didn't he just blow up? Oh, right. What happened? His car exploded. Oh, that's right. Jay Leno. You've been getting up a lot, right?

At Flappers? Well, you just did Ice House? Yeah, I did Ice House. Yeah, you should send it to Veils. I sent it to Veils to Ice House and West Side. I did West Side this time. Oh, you did West Side? I was a little late on it though. Oh, yeah.

But I'm on it now, yeah. Yeah, I did Ice House and West Side. And then, yeah. I've been trying to. Did you watch Rogan's special? No, have you? No, I haven't seen it yet. I've seen clips.

I get mad when people criticize him and I also get mad when people kiss his ass. Right. It all feels transparent to me in some inauthentic negative way. Well, I mean, from, he's, I'm always surprised that the press coverage, like especially on like more liberal sites

where they hate him and they'll be like, you him and it'll be some sarcastic thing about him having a special. And people are like, controversial podcast. I'm like, is he really that controversial? Yeah, they're like, oh, he perpetuates conspiracy. He just says what he thinks is true, whether it's true or not. I don't think you can blame him for the popularity. Like, to me, the consumer is the issue.

If you think he's that bad, maybe the problem is like a lack of education amongst the American populace. Yeah, it's just so... And I like his show. I think he's a very good interviewer. Although sometimes I do think he's a little reckless with what he talks about, but maybe I'd be the same way

if I had that kind of entree. Yeah, but I think that's what makes this show special is he's willing to have so many different people on. And it's like, I mean, a lot of the, it is crazy when you think about his influence. Like a lot of the stuff that is popular today is popular because of Joe. Ice Bass, like Huberman.

Oh yeah. He broke some of the top cultural voices. He is like the modern day Johnny Carson, but more kind of with comedians too, but also with biohacking scientists. You know? No, his interest became the nation's interest. MMA, like just biohacking in general.

And then, I don't know. It is crazy when you think of his influence, how massive it is. What's up, dawg? Thanks for calling, guys. Dude. Of course, brother. What's going on?

What's going on, playa? Playa, no, I mean, nothing too dramatic, but I do have an ish. I just don't know what to do with my life. Minor issue. Also, big fans. I saw you guys in Brooklyn and Boston. Oh, legend. Dude, yeah, I just moved.

I have a bunch of buddies and I are moving. We already moved, but from New York to Boston. That was nice. I got to see you guys like one of my first weekends. Oh, awesome. Good job. Thanks for coming to the show. What's a, you don't know, yeah, tell us what's going on with your life quandary.

Yeah, the corporate world, I guess. Like, very, very lucky guy if this is my issue, but just the nine to five is just, there's no, there's nothing there for me as of right now It's not like just stop black rock is it? No Like Martin Like advertising and it's just horrible same deal. I mean it's it's a good job It is what it is and there's like room for

For growth I guess but I'm just sitting there for eight hours staring at a screen that I don't really care about. How old are you? I'm 24. You got any responsibilities? You got to pay for your parents' stuff or you got a partner that needs your help or a dog? No, really lucky guy. Very lucky. I got like, this is the time to do it, right? To like, to take a chance. As John Spaghetti just said in the chat, move to Wyoming and be a fly fishing guide? Sounds great. All right.

We're settled. Problem solved. Yeah, man. So what are you afraid of happening if you quit the job and you hit the road and find yourself? Well, you know what it is? It's like, I don't know. I need the... Kick in the ass? I don't know. I expect the chase of something. You know what I mean?

Yeah. You need a goal. And I don't... Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know what that would be. So like I was going to say for you guys, when you figured out it was comedy, like what led you to that? And how'd you what were you guys doing? I guess per se that that you thought was good and positive to generate some momentum take it. To get and to go into comedy? Yeah. Not that I want to. I, I, I think it's something I always wanted to do, whether I admitted it or not. And honestly, for me, I kind of got the green light for my dad,

you know, senior year of college, because I'm the fifth child. And so I think, you know, by the time he got to me, I was telling him, I was like, oh, I want to be a producer. Like I had any idea what that meant. I just thought it sounded good. You know, I just thought talent sounded crazy. And he kind of was pushing me into, he's like, I think I want to be an actor.

And as soon as I got that green light, I just, you know, burnt the boats and I, I just made that decision and no plan B. I'm like, that's what I'm doing. Yeah. But it- I remember you were, oh sorry. No, it's like, it's just something

I really, really wanted to do and I saw a future in it. Okay. So, yeah. So future in it. Okay. So you knew it, yeah, you had it locked in and that was what you were gonna do. Do you have anything that makes your loins burn? Dude, I mean, I played hockey my whole life. You'd love the posture. Oh, so you got T-rex?

The anterior pelvic tilt creates a lot of issues. Nice. Pilates can correct some of that. Who are your heroes? Oh, god. You two, for sure? Oh, that's nice, man. Thanks, man.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's a good question. I have no idea. I think that was a good way for me to figure it out. I heard comedians talking and I watched what they did and I was like, you know what? I kind of want their authenticity. I want their ability to talk about the parts of themselves that other people are afraid

to talk about. And I was like was like so what they do to get there And then I was like, oh they did open mics. They did improv classes and I was like, I'll just follow like Whoever you look up to they they went and did a certain thing and then you just on The way to trying to get to where they're at you do the same things and then you find other things along the way So like I guess I would figure out I'd figure out whose life you want and then, um, yeah. And then try to just pick something. Oh, sorry. No, that's it. That's it. I'm sorry. No, I mean, that's it.

I feel like I've heard you Chad say a couple of times, like just creating. And that's like the one thing I keep coming back to every, anytime I'm just creating something that that's like the one thing I keep coming back to. Anytime I'm just creating something, that's the most alive I've felt, I feel like. It's the best feeling. It's you know, we're really lucky where we get to create content and basically have fun for a living. But it was like, you know, there's a lot of uncertain years and took a lot of faith and kind of making the decision to go fully into it and tough it out. So, I think if you do choose something that is more kind of a maybe a little bit riskier but it's your passion.

I think go all the way. You know, don't have to ask it because I think with a lot of people who kind of you know, or maybe do it but maybe a little bit wishy-washy about it, maybe a little bit scared or have like a plan B, you know, when it kind of when they can't see a future or the end of the road, you know, it kind of that's when they pivot. So I think if you're going to take a riskier decision, I would go, especially now in your 20s, do it like make it your life and kind of make it you know will it into into being subconscious yeah is that the right way to say it will and into creation I don't know yeah will it into being I like that yeah cuz it's because it's posing your will yeah cuz it doesn't exist so you got to make it exist. Yeah. Or you see you say you like hockey. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to work in hockey? I don't

I don't think so. Honestly. So it's a new thing. You want something brand new. Yeah, I do. Cause my mom's always like, oh yeah, you could grown ups like you should. You could just work in hockey. But for me, that's like, I already, I already did that. I didn't go anywhere, but I've already done that part of my life. So I was going to be there. You know what I mean? Do you know what? You got to watch the speed from adaptation where Robert McKee played by Brian Cox yells at Nicolas Cage. What is it? Adaptation? Adaptation. Yeah. Watch that.'re Robin McKee yells at Nicholas cage Cuz um, I think what you're going through is normal, but there's so much out there man. You could do anything

Yeah Like dude, I know and that fires me up, but it's also like how do you pick? I don't even know Yeah, I don't know what it is. You just got to pick No, I don't know what it is. You just got to pick. I know. I know. I got to try this. Because there's people out there dying. That's what he says in the movie. I know.

There's people sacrificing for another person. It's true. I don't know. It's like a nothing problem, but it's... No, it's the biggest problem. I'm just yelling now. No, it's a real problem. It's no it's the biggest problem I'm just yelling now no it's a real problem it's a real problem but what I mean is like I'm very lucky

to be in the in this you know relatively stable job like everything's good yeah but you want you want your life to get one life what do you like what do you like to create dude and I don't know I was like I've always drawn on the sides. I've had ideas of turning some stuff into some brands. That's more of a creative side of advertising? Well, yeah, that's another whole thing too like right now I'm in more so of an analytical role, I guess, which is just not me. And it's all good, but there's a different side of advertising, which is obviously creative and all that, but I feel like that would be pretty hard to break into. I talked to a lot of people about it and try to network, but I don't know.

that and try to network. But I don't know. I just, you know what it is? It's like, I keep coming back to. Whenever I'm thinking about these things, it's like, I just got to be free of all this, like the nine to five, the corporate and just do what I want. But then you also need the chase. No, when you're never going to, you don't want to be free of.

Responsibility, you just want the responsibility that you want, you know, like things that actually suck in the right way for you. Because it's nice to think you're going to be untethered, but that no one can do that. We all need things to keep us that like inside out five pillars of our brain that keep us rooted. I think. Yeah, I got an idea. Yeah, Jake.

Yeah. So sort of towards like gravitating towards things you like, you know, maybe since you like drawing and designing, maybe design like some merch or some clothing for like a person you like or a band or something, you know, something that really gets you going and then send them like a picture of the merch

and then that could start your business. It's kind of like how I started. I was like a really big fan of podcasts. So I started like cutting clips for people I was a fan of and then they were like, oh, I really like this. I just sent them a DM, you know, so I think you've said this before, right? I think I've heard you said it.

Probably shit on. Yeah. But yeah, I just, I just think, uh, there's things that like kind of you gravitate towards subconsciously. Like I was a fan of this podcast. I'd spend like five hours listening to it. Um, so I might as well like use that time to, you know, do things that are beneficial towards that I guess. I don't know. No, it's smart. smart, like forced practice almost.

When's the last time you felt really good about what you were doing and like yourself? In general? Yeah. That's such a good question. I don't even know. I don't know. I mean I'm not in a crisis per se, you know. But we need to set this guy on fire. Yeah. I'm looking at my cousin right now. My cousin is the same age as me and he's

always loved music and he is just going all in. Him and his buddy formed like a group. They've been doing it for years and I just see him every day. I talk to him every day. He's just chasing it, you know? I'm just jealous. He's just chasing the passion. The chase is fun.

You're jealous of the passion. You're jealous that he has something to pour his being into. I think I am. I think I am. I hear the quote of like the, what is it? What is it? I actually don't even know who said it, but it's like all men live lives of quiet desperation. It's like, oh dude, I cannot do that. I do not want to become that. Yeah. I mean, I, you know, I do not want to become a. Yeah, I mean, you know. To be I think I think I think, you know, stay in your job, but but experiment a little bit, you know, start to think about things

that might turn you on, you know, what gives you what, you know, what really what really, you know. Sets your sits your. Bang on fire, you know, Sets your, sits your Dang on fire. You know what I mean? Yeah, but also do I'll say this like You know being in kind of a creative field It's there's a lot of uncertainty and so

When you talk about the stability of a job, you know that That gives me a little bit of a jaw, you know, that gives me a little bit of a tingle in my Johnson. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. The grass isn't always green, you know. There's good and bad to both things. Yeah, like your cousin's band probably won't work out. Yeah, who knows? I don't know. But he's chasing it. Also, if I could just add one more thing, I think especially like when you're younger, comparing is the thief of joy, right?

So like you see all these other people your age and you're like, shit, by the time I'm 25, I'm supposed to be here. Or like this guy's 25 and he's doing this. But just do what makes you happy. And then by the time you're 30, you won't even give a fuck what anybody else is thinking. So, yeah.

Yeah. Someone said health insurance isn't a bad thing. That's a good point. Listen to myself more. Do more of that. Yeah. Did you guys leave the nine to five or no? You know, I needed to work a nine to five

just to like learn how to have some work ethic and exist in an office and stuff. And I'm, I almost think I should do it again. Cause I think I've gotten a little bit like, uh, I've been, I've gotten moody in my ability to like choose how my day goes. Um, like I've, I maybe don't appreciate it enough, but, um, I mean, Che, you never had like this. You were doing this, but you were always like in charge of your own business. You were doing like the surf school and stuff like that.

Surf school. Yeah. I mean, I did some like, you know, I did some summer jobs that were more nine to five. But you love when we have a gig that is like a nine to five or like when we're in the writer's room or something like that. It's like, hey, show up at this time be here till then. I do love that but when I was an intern at MGM I loved the structure of going to the office but I was terrible at it. I hated the gig. Yeah. Yeah, I got pretty sad too just because I wasn't moving up and then when I did move up I was kind of not well suited for my job and then I was going nuts on Adderall trying to be better at it. But that was my story.

But- You know, it's the worst is the language, the corporate jargon. It's crazy. Oh yeah. Why don't you start your own ad company? You can call. Like creating ads?

Yeah, why don't you start your own ad company and send animations and drawings to hockey teams, to some minor league hockey teams or some pro hockey teams. And you combine all your- I did do that actually. I do know a little bit of graphic design, so it was really fun. We all played club at college. These are all the guys that are moving here to Boston with me.

And- So to use some corporate jargon, let's circle back on that and let's not put a pin in that. Let's make it happen. And yeah, do it. Yeah. Confirm receipt on that. And then you can have the kind of office

where people don't speak in a cliche. Yeah. You know, people will be straight shooters over email until HR gets involved because you've grown so much that you can no longer afford to be authentic. Yeah, you could change it to confirm Zin-Bob way on that. Dude, you should start doing, start making ads for Zins. You should be like, put this, you know, as hockey players,

put it in your lips, put it in between your toes, put it in your ass. Either way you're going to feel good. You can take that. I heard you say that, that people did that in the tilt. And just, you know, do you make mistakes? You don't sound like a guy who makes mistakes. Dude, I'm glad you said that. I'm not, I'm not the biggest risk taker, I would say.

I need to see action good and bad. I need you to know where your limit is. I need you to know where you don't belong so you know where you do belong. That's the issue. You don't know where you belong because you don't know where you don't belong yet. Because you haven't gone outside your comfort zone enough.

Yeah, go to like a sex dungeon. Yeah, Dana's a swinger and be like, you know what? This actually isn't for me. Or maybe it is, but find out. Wow, that'd be cool if we found out that you find this whole other world of getting pegged. Dana girl who does breath work and helps people get over their trauma, it's going to be a nightmare. And then just, you know, get your limit, get your dose. Yeah. She's going to do sound bass for you as you go to bed.

She's going to pull that trauma out of you. You guys are right. Yeah, man. Cause if not now, then when, dude? Get busy living or get busy dying. I know. Yeah, dude. as you know. He's always wearing a condom.

Dude, yeah, and as my spiritual master from the Far East, AKA Tampa, Gary said, "'You gotta die to live, brother. "'So kill that ego, you gotta die to live.'" It's already over. Dude, how do you do that though? How do you kill the ego though? I've heard that a lot.

You go to a sex dungeon and you get a dildo in your ass. I've had sex workers say some really mean stuff to me and I'll tell you what man, you don't think too highly of yourself after that, but you're feeling all of it. You don't have to do that. Look, I wanna be careful. I don't want you to get into trouble,

but I want you to get in a little trouble. I want you to be outside your comfort zone. I want you to be outside your comfort zone. I want you to be mixing it up with people, you know, you're still trying to figure out. I just, yeah. Yeah, I think- And stay in touch with us. You can check with us if it's a good move or not.

Yeah, don't do anything too risque, but you know, check with us first. But yeah, you're in your 20s explore. You know cream jeans This is not me saying this cream jeans is saying mushrooms will help you We'll do with the professional go to one of those like ayahuasca farms where like the you know head shepherd is there And he's like hey, you know this is the bucket you throw up in and here's who you go to cry to about your parents They got it all systemized. I get ripped for this. I get ripped for this, but I always say I got to do,

I got to take some mushrooms and it'll just crack me open. I want to figure it all out. Who's ripping you? Just a couple of my friends. The one, the guy that I live with right now, one of my best friends. Does he make moves? He makes moves. Yeah.

All right. We're similar though, I would say. make moves? He makes moves. Yeah. All right. We're similar though, I would say. I mean, we made, this was definitely, I mean, I didn't even know anything about Boston really at all. And we were just like, yeah, let's go. What's like, we just got to do it.

Get a new scenery, you know, see something else besides what you're looking at. And then maybe you'll kind of learn a little bit more about yourself. Maybe even do it alone. I used to do that a lot. I would just drive like 10 hours to a new city, kind of figure out my what's going.

I mean, mushrooms are cool, too, you could just go sober and, you know, check out something new, change your scenery, change your mind a little bit. And then maybe that'll lead you in the next direction. Yeah, dude, go to Moab. Go to Moab and take a dump in nature. Okay. No, seriously, man.
