nice 40 year old 40 year old virgin like a movie right i'm 40 but i'm just so young you know what i mean okay like even when i turn 40 or when i turn 40 in the future i'm gonna just be so young you only turn 41 so i'm just gonna be so young it's crazy i'm kind of sick of it okay well so um yeah it's officially freaking summer officially i mean it is hot i look hey dude oh i got a tan okay i got a tan you're a little you're got a little more color yeah i got two like two. I went in the sun three days in a row. You actually look... You never look non-vampiric. Don't have to be rude about it.

And now you look non-vampiric. Does that even matter? Vampires are hot, so... Anyway, I got two or three days in the pool. So, might be why I'm a little bit tan. Yeah, you are a little bit tan. I'm so annoying because it stays cold

for a little too long in LA lately. Like it stays cold kind of into May. And I'm like, why is it not summer yet? Even June. The second day, it's above 80. I'm like,

this sucks. Not me. It's too hot. Get me out of here. Not me. As soon as the heat turns up, it can go up and up and up and up and up. I'm just like, whop, whop, whop, whop, whop.

Let me do my stuff, dude. When it's hot, dude. When it's hot. I love the heat, dude. I want it hotter. Frankly, I want it hotter. Let me do my stuff in the heat. Now, you've been saying, let me do my stuff all day, even before we started recording,

and I want to know why. Because it's in that Kendrick Lamar song, dude. Let me do my stuff. Why does he say stuff, dude? Because people like you start, it's the kind of thing people like you want to say and then the song becomes meme-ified and everybody's saying, let me do my stuff.

Yeah, maybe, dude. People try to do meme. People, the clickbait, not that that's clickbait, clickbait is crazy. There was a, I meant meme in the broader sense. I know. Yeah, okay. There was a thing today on something that was like, it was like People Magazine, and it was like, woman goes to sleep to get her colon cleansed and wakes up to a hysterectomy.

Oh, what? And it was like I was – and she divorces husband after that. What? That's not the right order. The headline was just the worst, you know? And then you look and it's because he went to go check to see if everything was good down in her colon and noticed that there was stage three cancer in her uterus. So the doctor was like, well, let me do my stuff.

So he took it out. That, you have to get, oh, you can't just do that. Well, I guess that's probably in the sign. Stage three, yeah. If there's cancer up in there and it's three, stage three or four, I think, doctor's got to do his stuff. Is that, I mean, I don't know, but that would be, I would think you'd have to wake the person up and be like, listen we got to do this yeah yeah i don't know that that was that

was on the people on people magazine so you know whatever it is is very true but maybe the doctor couldn't do his stuff right after like you gotta be right right he's like i i can't do my stuff yeah right yeah i gotta do my stuff right now i gotta do my stuff right right right yeah exactly yeah get me the uterus remover wow that's so hectic dude i don't like that story yeah it's brutal it's that kind of stuff's brutal so why'd you bring it up uh because we were talking about clickbait yes dude we were talking about clickbait and i weren't really i said meme and then you started talking about it. I know, I know, I know.

But people really don't care about the art anymore. Art of what? Of whatever. It's more about what kind of clicks can you get. Of journalism, of anything. Well, the internet's never been about art appreciation though. The internet's always been about click, click, click, click, click, traffic, click, click, click, click,

click, traffic, right? You know what I'm saying? No, that's as bad as do my stuff, okay? I thought you liked doing my stuff. Ah, I go back and forth. You keep saying it. You must like it. I go back and forth. I go back and forth.

He goes back and forth, folks. So yeah, and it's so hot and I was swimming with my son, trying to get him to learn how to swim it's really hard but then i looked it up today like i looked up how to teach your kids how to swim and it's uh it's really uh they're like slow dude you gotta you gotta be patient so i'm like all right because i you know i don't get mad i've never yelled at him i don't yell at him but like i i i'm like come on buddy like, come on, buddy, you can do this. No, I know you can do this.

And he's just like, no, no. You know, and I'm like, is that, I got to push him a little bit, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah. I've seen you push him like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You got to, you got to get, because it's like, at what point are you raising, there's, you know, there's, it's, there's the way to be. And then there's too much one way and too much the other way and it's like you don't want you want to try to ride the middle there and kids are just like well let me do my stuff and parents have to be like well you can't just do your stuff you gotta do some stuff that some stuff that i want stuff man yeah yeah um anyway i i made him i made him uh you know but he's just like wake up and eat a Clif Bar. What's the Clif Bars?

Bro, your kids eat Clif Bars. That's like only something people over 30 should be doing. Yeah, man, I know. I don't like it. Oh, okay. It got real, real, real fast. And it's fine. But it's just Kristen, we started doing it.

And I'm like, we got to stop doing it. And now it's like my son wakes up and needs a Clif Bar. He's like a Clif Bar junkie. Tell them they're all gone. But they're not. But tell them all the Clif Bars have sold out, and now we got to eat something else. That's a lie.

It is a lie. I don't know, man. It is what it is. But it's just like, you know, as long as he's running around and outside and doing stuff. Doing his stuff. Doing his stuff. Anyway, it's Lifeline episode 117, which is pretty up there, huh? Can you believe we've done 117 episodes so far? A little over two years.

And on Chocolate Day. Why are there just too many days, dude? World Chocolate Day. It's so annoying. Well, Chocolate Day would be World Chocolate Day. I mean, come on. Not always. I guess International Chocolate Day should be better so annoying. Well, Chocolate Day would be World Chocolate Day. I mean, come on. Not always.

I guess International Chocolate Day should be better. We don't recognize it. Not every day is an international thing. Fourth of July. No, I know that, but it's like- Yeah, Fourth of July, but that's so obvious. Bastille Day. What? Bastille Day.

Boxing Day. Boxing Day. Only Canada. I thought it was- Is it Canada? I don't know. I thought it was England. I say whatever.

What's Boxing Day? I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's the day after Christmas. Christmas. I know that. It's Canada. It's the UK. I thought it was England. I say whatever. What's Boxing Day? I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's the day after Christmas. Christmas. I know that. It's Canada. I'm smart.

It's the UK. I'm smart. Europe. It's a Canadia thing? Canadia. Canadia. Cool. I watched The Omen last night.

Oh. You know how I do it? You do know how I do it, though. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, how do you do what? I watch the movie, The First Omen. The First. That one I've seen.

Wait. There's a remake, right? No, no, no. It's not a remake. I didn't even know about this. No, not even. What is it? It's a prequel to the 1976 movie.

And that really recently came out, right? This year. Yeah, okay. I had no idea that it was a prequel. I just turned it on and I was like, I think this is part of the franchise. What franchise? I didn't know. I was looking it up as I was watching the movie.

The first Omen. Oh. And so I'm watching it. It's good. I liked it a lot. And then I was like, I looked it up and it said it's the prequel to the 1976 movie. And I'm like, you know how I do. After that movie got done, I immediately turned on The Omen.

That movie is good because it has a high floor because George C. Scott is in it. And he's the best. No, no, no, no. Uh-uh. George C. Scott is in The Omen. Gregory Peck. Oh, what am I thinking of? I don't know, but you need Magic Mind.

C'est riche! I'm not. I'm just looking up because now it's going to bother me. And so, yeah, it's good. It's pretty crazy. I didn't know it was like an actual kind of good movie. You know, Gregory Peck was in a downward uh career trajectory trajectory i'm thinking about the changeling and completely different end there it is and he and it was um

and he was gonna he took the movie took the movie for like a nominal fee of his what he's used to it's 250 000 and 10 of the gross oh. That's so much of the gross, dude. I mean, it's $6 million, but it made $6 million. Back in the day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. That was a big chunk of change. Anyway, because there was another famous guy that was like, I'm not going to do it. This is funny. He was like, I'm not going to do it because I don't want to do a movie

about the devil. Okay. And then in the sequel, he did the sequel. That other actor? Yeah. And who was that? Woodle or something. Robert Woodle or something woodle woodward something woodhall i don't know but anyway uh he was like no i don't want to do it i can't do it and then he was like never mind i'll do it let me do my stuff the omen wasn't listening at all number two the omen two uh nope william holden oh william holden yeah damn these movies have banger lead actors it's so funny though because like in the first uh he's the man one in the first one he's he's having a

baby and he's 59 years old and he's having a baby well i mean you know men can't get pregnant right that's why i said so it's not alienation it's not like the movie junior it's not like the movie junior or or the TV series Alien Nation where the men have the babies. I don't know what that is, Bacal. What? Don't know what that is. Alien Nation?

Yeah. Really? Am I supposed to know what that is? Nah, man. I don't know. What is that? It's just like it was an old TV show. It was like, you know,

back when like maybe when X-Files was on and stuff. It was like on after that. Alien Nation, huh? Alien Nation and the men had the babies. Interesting. Anyway, the chair's too squeaky huh your chair is yeah why for weeks does it show up on the podcast okay sometimes yeah uh no sometimes yeah he said

dude yeah i'm not gonna move okay it's fine we gotta get wd-40 on this though but um anyway uh we have wd-40 we do let him do. Let him do his stuff. Oh, wow. All right. So what were we talking about, though? The movie? Yeah, 59. And it's like he just had a baby. And it's like, no, they didn't address it at all. Yeah. So imagine like a 59-year-old in a movie right now having a baby.

It would be like so weird. They'd have to address it. Yeah, they'd have to be like, wow, you're so old, huh? In old movies, getting a butt exam. Getting a colonoscopy, dude. He's WD-40ing my chair. Going old movies, getting a butt exam. Getting a colonoscopy. Well, he's WD-40ing my chair. Going to wake up without a uterus. Matt.

I think it's better. I would say so. You just sprayed so much WD-40, we're going to be sick all day. Yes, it smells better. Oh, it's a lot better. Smells like shit. Yeah, it's a lot better, yeah. Let him do his stuff.

It's a lot better. All right. It also has to soak in there. Great. So anyway. Soak in there. Yeah, it's a lot better. Let him do his stuff. All right. It also has to soak in there. Great. So anyway. Soak in there. Yeah, they'd have to say something. Dude, in old movies though, it's so weird because back then it was pretty frowned upon

to not be married when you were an older guy. Yeah, yeah. So many movies have leading men that like the men are clearly over 50 and they're just single guys. They dress yeah i mean right now i'm thinking of rear window and it's like about a woman trying to marry him he's like no i gotta stay single oh wow yeah it's weird shingle stuff yeah i gotta i gotta do my stuff i gotta do my stuff and stay single i can't be married i I got to do my stuff. Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop. Do my stuff. All right. So let's start. Yeah.

Let's do a video. Shit. Oh, my God. This guy. Remember him? This is the unhinged double your money living out of his BMW guy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I just wanted you guys to know I'm doing better now. I don't need anyone's capital. I'm growing my own myself. Doing okay. Things are on the up and up. That's good. But I do have a new question. How can I get women to stop running away from me after 45 seconds of dating?

Thanks. The shortest date of all time. Hi, how you doing? So good to see you. So anyway, I thought we'd come here. Where are you going? Why are you running? Why are you running?

Why are you running? I mean, if you were acting anything like you were acting in that first video, that would be why. If you're not, it could be a number of reasons. One could be you're living out of your car. Women don't typically like that. It's also women just have too many options they just they they don't you got you got to show them that uh it's you but like you have to not care about it as well it's a weird balance you know now what

could that possibly mean you got to show any of what you said you got to show them it's you but also what was hey baby it's me but what do you mean but i don't care that if if you like me or not but you also have to not care hey baby it's me oh do you like me or not because it doesn't matter the worst date the worst opening salvo on a day i'll tell you right now. Yeah. If I had a date, walked in, did that, got out. And just. You're leaving? Oh, yeah. Why are you leaving?

That's how much I don't care. I hope. Hey, it's me. Hey, I love it. I'd love to be with you. But also don't care. So the woman has to be like, excuse me, wait, don't go. No, no, no.

She would literally be like. I know that. She probably wouldn't say anything. I'd leave, go home, sleep so peacefully. And see if she hits me up. But that's what he doesn't want. He doesn't want the date to end after 45 seconds. He specifically wants the opposite of what you're suggesting.

I think what he's saying is he wants another date. Like he wants, he's saying, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Like he's not saying, why are dates so short? Yeah, you're right. He's saying, why, how come I can't date women for more than one or two dates? Yeah, okay.

I think that's what he's saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm saying you got to have the, hey, baby, it's me attitude, but also behind that, but I don't care. I don't care. Okay. I've got a bunch. If you don't have women, I still have a bunch of women in my mind. And if not, I've got Xbox.

You know what I mean? I could do that all day long and I don't care. Oh, that would be a great thing to say. You know what? I don't care if we go on another date. I have Xbox. Yeah. Guess what's going to happen? You're never if we go on another date i have xbox yeah guess what's gonna happen you're never gonna go on another date with that woman again that's terrible that would be hilarious if i saw someone oh dude worst idea just the best man uh but yeah i just that if what you're saying

is desperation is repellent you're absolutely Yeah. That is true across the board and is certainly true when it comes to the dating scene. You can't seem like you need the thing to work out because the truth is you don't need the thing to work out. Right, right, right. Because according to what you're saying, it typically doesn't work out. And look at you. You're fine. You got those sick sunglasses on.

You're doing better. You're growing your own capital. Out of the car. You're fine. And you're going to be fine if a hundred women in a row reject you. But here's what you got to do. You got to know because it's true. You got to know eventually

you're going to find the person that's right for you. Yeah, so relax. So relax about it. Relax. It's not like, oh my God, I got one to say yes to a date. It's got to go so well. It doesn't have to go so well.

Yeah. It's got to go the way it's going to go. You do your best. If it doesn't work out, she's going to do her best too. If it doesn't work to go so well yeah it's got to go the way it's going to go you do your best if it doesn't work out she's going to do her best too if it doesn't work out so be it no it's good you don't go on another date it's not going to work out true true you don't want to just be dating you don't want to just be like oh great success in dating now i went on 10 dates woohoo that's not good that's not better yeah you just want to find the person that's right for you it doesn't matter if you go on one date with, again, 100 people.

If the 101st one is someone you're going to end up with or spend a long time with, that's all that matters. Yeah. No, you don't have to have sex with all of them, dude. Right. So don't do that. So you won't get HPV. But if you do, you might get HPV. All right.

Well. And then you know what that causes? Cancer. A lot of men are carriers that don't even know. I know. I know. Ah, he's a carrier carrier you ever know about that on so much i love him he's a cat you're on so much coke this episode it's crazy i love him

he's a carrier dude my friend who is not with us anymore he legitimately rode a motorcycle into a pole. Oh, Dan? Yep. That guy was crazy. Oh, God. God, was he ever. And I loved him. You did, yeah. God, I loved. God, I loved him, dude. I'm so sad he died.

I thought he was popping a wheelie. Yeah, right. And then he ran into a pole? Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. The worst one, too? Oof. Poor guy. Anyway. anyway he was young dude 26 26 yeah oh my goodness 25 26 um and you know how people are like wow i i had no idea that that's how that is how he would have died yeah you know what i mean

yeah people are like oh we would have never known oh what did he die? A pop a wheelie into a pole? Right. Yeah, Dan did that. Sure. Hey, guess who died? What'd they do?

Pop a wheelie into a pole. Dan. So, it's crazy. Look, a lot of time has passed and I do think of him sometimes, but my gosh,

dude, he was obsessed with like, well, I knew him in college and we were in college in New York. I went to college for eight months and I was friends with all business school. Stern School of Business. Oh, Tish is where you went. Oh in New York. I went to college for eight months. And I was friends with all business school. Stern School of Business.

Oh, Tisch is- Tisch is where you went. Oh yeah, Stern was a business one. That's what I just said, yeah. Stern. So German. Stern. So I had another buddy who went to Stern

from my high school. I remember him. Doesn't matter who. I remember him. who went to Stern from my high school. I remember him. It doesn't matter who. I remember him. And Dan became friends with him outside of me. Oh, really? Because he's like, yo, there's another guy that went to – I remember how he used to sound now too.

Hey, there's a guy who went to your high school. I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, what the fuck? Tell me. I'm like, I don't know. He was from Florida, okay? And he got to NYU and was like, so now I'm one of the good fellas. You know what I mean?

Right, right, yeah. And he was like, man, that's what I love about him. He was talking about the guy. He's a carrier. And I don't know what he means to this day. And I think he means... Character.

No, a gun. Oh. I think the guy from high school that I was friends with tried to convince him that he carries a gun around. But he doesn't. No shit.

So that's not what it is then is what I'm saying. Well, he's not an HPV carrier. But then he, I think he was saying character like your other idiot friend who said, No, no, no.

Old timers disease. No, Dan was very smart. Like your other idiot friend who literally thought Alzheimer's was called old timers. Well, a lot of, that guy is kind of dumb. A lot of people think that though. And that's just kind of a stupid thing.

That's like saying supposedly. That's dumber than supposedly because that's just one letter off. Old timers disease, dude. No, I disagree because I think, let me tell you why. Alzheimer's is something that old people get. So you might think Alzheimer's is something that old people get so you might think alzheimer's because like old timers i totally understand that and they should change the name of the disease i totally understand that if you're eight years old which is totally acceptable to think why is it it's old timers he said he's a carrier i love that he's a carrier he did not mean

character how do you of all people not ask him what he meant it was early on in the relationship okay god forbid you ask him what he means by carry what it was either drugs or guns oh it could have been drugs for sure yeah he was on molly all the time probably or whatever ecstasy it was back yeah uh anyway anyway yeah just just don't don't be desperate don't it's tough because the harder the the more you whatever get rejected or it doesn't work out the more it seems like you need to like fix something or do more but that is not necessarily the right impulse because you end up being even more desperate just work on your keep working on yourself on a separate track eventually it will happen london on the track all right dude i'm gonna uh do your stuff on this track and eventually it'll happen london on the track all right dude i'm gonna uh do your

stuff on this track and eventually it'll work out i'm gonna listen to uh real motherfucking g's when i get in the car later ah it doesn't matter dude but you ever get that like where you're like oh fuck yeah i remember a song and then you're like i'm gonna listen to it later dude it happened yesterday and today yeah it's gonna be so dope i'm gonna get in the car has something in his throat jamaican song um all right but you know what I'm talking about. I do. I do.

I do. Getting married. Getting married to a polygamist. In a polycule. All right. No, no. Okay. Don't make it dorkier.

What I said was funny. Don't make it dorkier by saying a polycule. In a polycule. Say it again. Don't respond to threats. Okay. Next one. George Bush.

All right. All right. Chris. Adam Sandler. Big fan. Wow. From New York. I can tell. I right. At Chris. Adam Sandler. Big fan. Wow. From New York. I can tell.

I'll keep it short. A friend of mine blocked me a few months ago because I stopped lending him money to gamble. I've known him my whole life. We gambled together. He lent me money back in the day. Oh, okay. Damn. To live and even to play poker.

So I had enough. I stopped lending him money. And he blocked me and said, we're no longer friends. The tongue movement. He lives nearby. I can knock on his door and apologize. But should I even apologize for not lending someone money to gamble with? Like, yeah, he said he would do the same for me.

But those days are behind us. I don't know what to do. Should I apologize? Knock on his door? Why would he apologize for not lending him money? Because the guy lent him money? Yes. But he did.

But am I wrong that this guy did lend the guy money? I don't think so. Oh, he never did. Wait. Oh, okay. No, I don't think you're wrong. I'm saying. No, he did.

You're asking, am I wrong? They both lent each other each other money okay yes so this guy's like enough yes he's out the other guy's out of control i mean depending on the discrepancy of how much it was i i don't think that this guy's in the wrong yeah me neither but i i mean i think the guy who blocked this guy is more if anybody's in the wrong that's just. Also, who's that guy to say you, the person calling in, has enough money to lend? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like people are, who knows what people are going through financially at any given time.

Yeah. Even people who seem like they're loaded might be going through a rough patch. Also, like this guy, I don't know if he gambles anymore, but if you don't gamble anymore and you're like, nah, I don't want to be a part of that world, you're not going to lend some money gambling because it's going to fucking activate you

wanting to gamble again. I get that. Yeah. But you're really assuming a lot. No, I'm just saying it could be anything. You don't know. The bottom, yeah. I mean, that's, oh man.

I really wish it was still, if I could ask him, do you, have you guys historically paid each other back or do you guys have an historically paid each other back or do you guys have an agreement that like what's mine is yours because a lot there's a lot of variables here that could make the only the guy who called a little more in the wrong than it seems yes well there's obviously more to the story but this guy the one thing i could think is like if the guy lent him 20 grand yes and then he lent the guy two grand. Right. Then that's not.

And then was like, I can't do it anymore. Yeah, no, I can't do it anymore. Yeah, then it would make more sense. But I would say, if you can knock on his door, he lives that close, do it and be like, hey, why'd you block me? Can we at least talk about this? Like, just because I said, no, I won't lend you some money, you're just going to block me? We've been friends forever.

Yeah. We've been through a lot. We've both lent each other money. I said, no, this one time. It doesn't mean mean we're not friends our friends for only lending each other money what is this uh but also you know if we're trying to be understanding clearly that guy's going through a hard time yeah yeah yeah yeah that is very clear so maybe be a little understanding and maybe go go knock on the door if it's important to you yeah go knock on his door back what's going on man i can't lend you the money if it's important to you. Yeah, go knock on his door and be like, what's going on, man?

I can't lend you the money, but that's not important. You're important to me. Right. Let's figure this out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, do that for sure. Sounds like your buddy's spinning out a little bit. Yeah, but stay strapped, dude. Be a carrier when you go because you never know.

That's a bad idea. You don't know. I'm just saying you don't want to get caught slipping, right? If a guy is at his house, you're on his property, depending on where you are. If you're in Texas, he's fucked. So be a carrier stay in new york all right well then you know i mean don't bring a gun obviously okay next oh tape a behind your head like uh bruce willis and have it always be like but he'll be like what's going on with your head he'll be like i don't know i

got an itch the whole time okay well so Well, so you still want the money, huh? All right. Well, so anyway. No. Anyway. Ow. And then the gun goes off. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. Oh.

Sorry. Next. Hi, Chris and Matt. Nice hair. My name is Kelsey. I'm responding to the sweet, sweet girl who's talking about getting her dream job. And her boyfriend has his dream job and they live together. And they have to move apart if they take these jobs.

I just wanted to let her know that my boyfriend and I are currently doing that. We're about four months into it. I took a dream job in California and we are currently living in Virginia together. But it's been really great. We plan on seeing each other a lot. He's only been so supportive of me taking and pursuing this career. And there's a foundation of trust and respect. And it's been really great for us. So I think it will be really great for you. I definitely don't regret taking my job. uh i think that doing the long distance thing will be worth it for a while so we'll see how it goes but good luck to you and i really hope that you take your job so sweet very sweet

just a very very very sweet person even offer uh advice just like totally doesn't have a question that happens i guess it's her podcast now you know what bye guys it's now this what if we very nice redhead woman's podcast and it was just her dude I feel like I guess yeah I think that's kind of what we said

that is exactly what I said and here's the proof is in the pudding right here she's living oh right yeah and she went to California bye bye money but it's all good it's like you know I mean the proof is in the pudding right here. She's living it. Oh, right. Yeah. Totally. And she went to California. Bye-bye money. But it's all good. It's like, you know,

I mean, I know you're going to have a career now, not just a job, but also bye-bye money, you know? And why is it bye-bye money? Taxes. Yeah, taxes are tough in California. But they're also tough everywhere in the country because federal taxes

are close to state taxes. Right, right, right. But state taxes. Bye-bye state money. Bye-bye state money, dude. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean, but you're dumb.

No. Yeah. I mean, thank you for calling in and saying that. It's just so expensive to live in California. You're living proof that the advice that we, mainly I, gave the previous caller. So, yeah. Great. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. All right. Next one. Hey, Matt and Chris. Hello. I love you guys so much. I love you too. All right, next one. Hey, Matt and Chris. Hello. I love you guys so much. I love you too. All right, so here's my questions.

I want to know what are your thoughts on the secret, the law of attraction. Do you guys believe that your thoughts become a reality? Do you guys believe that whatever you dream, you can achieve it? How much of the law of attraction do you guys believe? you know how how much of the law of attraction you guys believe for example uh do you believe well the law of attraction only works if you work hard for it and you don't think just because i want something i'm gonna have it and i'm just asking you guys um i'm trying to have a now i'm sorry let me rephrase that i am going to get get married on July 6th in Houston, Texas. Congratulations.

And everyone knows how hot Houston is. And I want to manifest a 72-degree wedding on July 6th. Or I will manifest. It will happen. So what are your thoughts? Do you think someone can change the weather? One person. One single person can change the weather, luckily. Or really get into the issue one single person can change the weather luckily i mean you know or is that crazy went from working as crazy as believing in crystals went so oh okay your thoughts i am michelle obama she ends it dude

no is the fucking answer dude hey dude in the beginning is working hard can you really agree that working hard you can get what you want? Yeah, okay. Can you change the weather? I'm Michelle Obama. Okay, look. You know? Dude, no.

It's not going to be that degrees, and it's going to be hotter. Not going to be that degrees. It's summer in Houston, dude. Everyone at your wedding is going to have swamp ass. It's going to be awful. Swamp ass is the most disgusting term. I do. People are going to say after you say, do you have swamp ass? And it's going to be so bad, dude. But it's going to be great, and you're going to love each other. And it's going to be awful. Swamp ass is the most disgusting term. I do. People are going to say after you say, do you have swamp ass? And it's going to be so bad, dude.

But it's going to be great and you're going to love each other. And it's going to be so sweaty. The secret, which for those who don't know, is like a, what would you even call it? Was it a book first? Yeah, the secret. And then there was like a video that was very popular. Ideology. Self-help, basically.

And now it's a religion. Literally, basically, you can manifest things, make things come true just by focusing on them and thinking about them and meditating on them. Now, obviously, just in general, that's bullshit. There are things that, again, as she said, if you think about it, put a lot of energy into it and then actually act toward those goals. Of course, that's a real thing. Thoughts have a better chance of becoming actions than non-thoughts.

Sure. Yes. There you go. But it's like the amount of not true about the what. Sorry, I'm just finishing up here. Your thoughts have nothing to do with the fuck weather. No metaphysical evidence. Okay.

Nobody's thoughts have anything to do with the fuck weather. Well, I mean, Indians would. Oh, is she Indian? I don't give a fuck. I'm just saying. Nothing she thinks is going to affect the weather ever, whether it's on her wedding day or any day. Go ahead.

Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying, if you've got pretty much no shot, you've got a fighting chance if you invite the Cherokee tribe a day early to Houston and do the rain dance or the Sioux tribe. Talking out of your asshole. Don't even know which tribes sue do the things you're

it's either sue or cherokee or another one well that's true because you that technically is any invite the chakta's chakta such a sick name yeah is that my name a lot of those tribes uh or nations or whatever have the coolest ch. Invite the Choctaw Indians. Invite a group of Choctaw Indians a day before the wedding to do a dance for 76 degrees. Hey, oh. Stupid. Stupid to do the last part. But no, honestly.

Stupid to do the last part? Why? What was the deal with you could say, you weren't supposed to say Indian, then it was supposed to be Native American, now Indian's good again. Whatever it is, I don't care. Simply don't care. That's what they are. Native American now Indian's good again whatever it is I don't care simply don't care that's what they are

what do you mean don't care what I don't care call whatever whatever it doesn't matter but if you call whatever whatever then no one knows what anybody's talking about I think they're pancakes instead of sky I am a right wing extremist and what does that mean I call anybody anything

and it doesn't matter and it's not that's what a left-wing extremist is you fucking idiot no no anybody anything no i'm saying i'm not afraid of certain words i'll say whatever i want oh wait hang on because i'm a right wing extremist i got a fantasy baseball oh it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it wasn't what i thought it was going to be anyway no more garcia pierre no more garcia pierre yeah he's French Norma Garcia-Pierre yeah he hits a home run and goes uh-huh

and runs the bases alright now I already did that you didn't do it as well Chris and Matt love you guys love the pod love you

and um my name's Kayla Keating I'm not related to Lizzo though I do be eating cool anyway so my question today is about dreams i've been having dreams about this guy that i didn't even have sex with that we talked for a bit and i'm in a relationship now with someone else and i keep having these dreams where we're

like resolving conflict this guy ghosted me by the way well there you go it's just like fucking with my head and then i wake up and i don't know if I'm supposed to like tell the guy that I'm with now. Like, I'm still having dreams about this guy, but like, I still love you. But like this guy's in my head. Of course. What do I do? Do I tell the guy I'm with that I'm dreaming about this guy who I was only talking to for

like a couple of weeks, but I still see this guy like on the regular, the guy who goes to me, I'm having dreams about it. Well, at least that. But we don't talk. So do I tell the guy I'm with now? And also like how do you stop having dreams about someone who you don't want to have dreams about? Thanks. Love you.

I mean, I think that you don't say anything. It's like this is just a you battle. It doesn't really matter though. The dream you're having, I would think about that guy. Obviously, sometimes this is not the case. But oftentimes, it certainly sounds like in this case, it's true. It's not about that guy. People represent ideas and things, feelings, whatever in our dreams. I have a serious girlfriend and I'm deeply invested in the relationship and I'm having some random, I randomly happen to be having dreams about someone I dated years and years and years ago who keeps popping up in my dream. It doesn't mean I'm like thinking about her or I miss her or my current girlfriend has some reason to be jealous. It's totally out of my control. Your mind's trying to work something out.

Who knows? Are you crying? Yeah. But like you don't know. If your boyfriend got mad about that, that would be weird. If you want to tell him

if it's bothering you that much and you want to talk about it, then talk to him about it. I can understand why a certain type of guy would feel uncomfortable about you having a dream about another guy.

But I mean, I wouldn't. But like, I would be like, if she keeps having it, I would be like, huh? And he ghosted you, huh?

Well, I think the ghosting is the thing you want to think about. Plus, what is this thing you say you always see him, but you don't talk to him? That's weird. But maybe they're like in a class together or they work together. Oh, yeah. Okay. You know? Well, it might be-

Maybe he's wearing a muzzle. Here's what you don't want to do. And this is coming from experience because I've been on the other end of it and it's so useless and uncomfortable. Don't get the idea that it would be a good idea to talk to that guy who ghosted you to try to sort out your feelings so you stop dreaming about him.

Oh, wow. I've had that happen to me. The dreaming thing too? What? What? You've had what? An ex of mine has been not this was like a couple years ago had been dreaming about me a lot lately right she's married with

children okay she was like hey and i hadn't heard from her in a while you have you have like some time to talk one of these days and i was like sure whatever i didn't know what that's crazy i had no idea what you want to talk about and And she was like, she told me that. And she was like, then she was like, I would like to resolve our issues because then maybe I could stop having you in my dreams. And I was like, what are you involving me for? Resolve the shit without me. She wanted the Eon. I don't even remember you.

Yeah. She wanted you both laying horizontally in the same room together doing that Eon. That's what she wanted. Maybe underneath everything, but certainly not. I didn't get that sense, but maybe. I don't know. She probably didn't either, but she wanted that. Maybe.

That. Anyway, yeah, just don't involve him. That's nothing to do with him. True. It's all about you. Keep it to yourself. It'll go away. It'll go away.

We can dream about the guy forever it might not go away if you're like ah I need to stop dreaming about it then it might stick around yeah relax just relax about it you are not your thoughts

it's just a weird thing that's coming up it'll pass it's gonna be fine don't feel like you're hiding something from your boyfriend if you don't bring it up

bring it up if you really need to it's not that big of a deal though also and keep in mind that it's not that big of a deal because then it'll be more likely to go away also i want to know how many how many dreams she's had of the guy if it's three that's way different than every single night for four weeks you know i'm saying of course every time for four

weeks then i'd be like uh yeah that's maybe if that is happening then you got to talk to everyone about it well you told us so well i mean hopefully your boyfriend now doesn't watch the show. Yeah. Okay. I strongly believe that your boyfriend should not have an issue. It doesn't. Oh, yeah. Okay.

So you're saying it doesn't even matter if she tells him or not. It shouldn't. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't care. I mean, Kristen's had dreams of exes and stuff. I don't care. I don't... Sleeper.

And it's all good, man. I wake up even happier. It's the best thing that ever happened to me. But I... No, but like she's told me about it and I just like laugh if it's like something... Because dreams are usually funny and weird. Yeah.

And also, we don't have control over our dreams. And it's not... People think, oh, you're dreaming about somebody. That means you're thinking about them and you care about them. That's not what that means at all. I dream about the most random shit and people that I've known over the years. It has nothing to do with them. Yeah, true.

Sometimes it does. Like if it's, but even then, I was going to say if it's like my dad or my most recent ex. But even then, it's sometimes not specifically about them. You know? Yeah, right. And sometimes they say it's sometimes not specifically about them. You know? Yeah, right. And sometimes they say, everybody in your dream is you anyway. You ever hear that?

I have heard that. I don't know who made that up, but that sounds kind of cool. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but maybe you're just dreaming of yourself, which is really conceited and you should take a look at that and maybe not be in a relationship.

I think not only is everyone in my dreams me, but everyone in my life is me. Yeah. Now you're sounding like the girl who thinks she can change the weather. You're me. The girl who can change the weather is me. Chris everyone in my life is me. Yeah. Now you're sounding like the girl who thinks she can change the weather. You're me. The girl who can change the weather is me. Chris is me. Anthony is me.

Okay. That's literally Calvin said that last year. That's a cool thing to say. All right. So, okay. Well, let's do another one then. Yeah. Hey, Matt and Chris, you guys briefly mentioned in the last episode I watched that your mom

will add like S's and stuff to movie titles. Eddie Vedder is back. Yeah, my mom does that same exact thing where like sausage party was sausages partying. Like she'll completely like royally fuck it up. Like add tenses to the verbs and shit that don't exist or add or subtract the. Why do you think a lot of old people do that? Like sausages partying. That is true.

Galactic Guardians instead of the Guardians of the Galaxy or what was the other one? Oh yeah, it comes at night was The Night Comes, right? Why do you think that old people kind of like royally fuck up movie titles? Saw your Pueblo show, Chris. Absolutely insane. It was insane. Thank you. You're welcome.

That one was insane. What? What did he say? He saw my Pueblo show, which was like I did 30 minutes. Pueblo, Colorado? Yeah. I did 30 minutes of this gang, talking about this gang member there. Anyway, it's on my YouTube go check it out

but the I feel I'm 44 I feel like it's happening to me because I'm like I could give a fuck it's what it's called so you think it's about the lack of fucks given I do yeah I think it starts as that

and then just becomes I don't know what it's called now. But that's not what people say. What? The people, like mom and the person, is she talking about his mom? I didn't catch what she was talking about. Yeah, I think so.

Then they're not saying, I don't know what the name is. They're saying the name with confidence and then putting an S on the end. So it's not like, I don't give a fuck. It's like, I know the name. It's this plus S. It's not that I don't give a fuck. It like i know the name well no it's not that i don't give a fuck it's that you know who's one of the worst people in history hitler's it's it's the fact that they don't care enough when they're hearing it for the first time that they're like this information is they're old they're like i've heard everything

i don't this is not impressive if it's really something i need to hang on to i'll hang on to it but then you end up saying troy acheman and my mom doesn't give a fuck so later on she's like uh true uh rob acheman's and then it's like because she didn't process it because she doesn't care because you know she doesn't need to she's 76 yeah she's not 76 but yeah 75 74 no yeah she'll be 75 this year really yeah she's not 76 nope i mean 75 neither one of them she'll be 75 this year like i said he already turned he just turned 76 i thought mom and dad were the same age and then one age up same age that's not something what you said the same age and then one age up yeah well you know because of the year okay 48 and 49 it's

48 and 49 yeah dad and then mom yeah so it is right so then so then they're both her birthday hasn't come i know but then so she's gonna if he's 76 already yeah then she's got to be oh because he turns yes Yes, exactly. A little bit before her. So they're never the same age? Never, no. Really? Yeah.

Wow. They're a year and a half apart. Almost exactly, actually. Okay, cool. Almost to the day a year and a half apart. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I don't know. I think that's- I think it's like a true mystery why old people just suddenly start adding S's to words and names. It's crazy. But it's not just- It's funny to me. But it's not just adding S's.

It's also other things. And those things that are accompanied with it are messing up names, saying different places. Okay. So you think adding an S is just another- Yes. Okay. Yeah. Maybe.

Yeah. I think so. Yeah. Maybe. That's probably true, actually actually yeah okay i'll give you that one okay go okay hey chris i may have done some gardening tonight as the kids call it these days i was thinking no i was watching the king's movie. I wasn't thinking. Oh, so different. And he said, you know, humans are the only species that have to live with the knowledge of their mortality. Like animals don't know that they're going to die someday. Yeah.

Not like the sky ghost demon. So like, would you not want to know that you're going to die? Yeah. Because in theory, you'd be like, well, if I know I'm going to die, I'm going to live my life to the fullest, Steven. Yeah. To the fullest, Steven? But it doesn't seem like we do that anyway. So maybe we would live our life to the fullest. If we didn't, we're going to die.

That's more accurate. Yeah, probably. I would rather not know. Yeah. I may not. I mean, look look not everybody in the world that ever has been born has died so of course not so what does that mean it's not proof that everyone dies oh that's so stupid um yeah it's weird that a you hadn't realized that until

whatever age you are but b that what made you realize it was the movie The Kingsman. Well, I'll call him for us a good actor. Because this is something I've literally been thinking about since I'm nine years old. And I've even seen Kingsman and I didn't think of it. You still never thought of it

until she said it? No, when that happened, I go, and then now I hear it on Lifeline. Got it. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I don't think... Kingsman, dude. I guess... But see, here's the thing. My instinct is kind of to say,

yes, I would like to not know that I'm going to die, but then I'm human and I would learn it because I'm human. In a minute. Where's Ralph? It would just... It would happen naturally. These old people keep going away.

There's no version of being alive as an aware adult human yeah you're not realizing fucking idiotic that other people die and then realizing oh wait i'm another person too and there's just no version i take it back just like that i take it back yeah and i because i i grow and change and learn i'm not the kind of guy who's stuck in my ways like that nice Nice. You know, but yeah, I- What did you just look at? You looked at something over here. Dude.

What? Why do you ask me that kind of shit? I'm looking at something, but why do you care? You committed the sin of letting me see you look at something besides my face. Why do you even-

Now I'm making you pay for it. What is it? See you- What is it? See? What is it, dude? There's one piece of beard hair that's sticking out. It's sticking out, right? This is why I asked, because I knew, because I thought it might be that, because I saw it earlier. Oh.

Yeah. So now I can cut it off. I can take it back being mad? I'm not mad. Here, pull it out. Pull it out. No, no, no, no, no. I was so scared, dude.

Well, but it's a whole hair. It'll hurt. No, I don't feel pain. I mean, you know. All right. We'll do it later. Cut it later, but all right. I'm so scared of it, dude. Well, but it's a whole pair. It'll hurt. No, I don't feel pain. I mean, you know. We'll do it later. Cut it later, but. So scared of it, dude. It should be cut.

I have someone else with me. I don't like to hand the scissors. But I just think, yeah, that is weird that you always notice when I, like, look at that. You know what? Look over there on me. Oh, man. It's pretty noticeable. A guy I know, we've talked about this.

A guy I know named Rob Ward way back in like fourth or fifth grade whenever one of us him too we talked we noticed it no no

he would go like this but isn't that him no oh is it is it the guy don't touch my face I have a thing about my face getting touched

no that's not Rob Ward no he would go like this he'd be talking to you and go like this just look at your forehead and look back in your eyes he's like why are you

looking at my forehead and then I brought it up to him and he was like yeah he does do that to me too I was like what are you looking at my forehead? And then I brought it up to him and he was like, yeah, he does do that to me too. I was like, what are you looking at foreheads for? That's weird.

Also, especially because he was tall, right? Yeah, he would just look up at my forehead. Yeah. If you're watching, Rob,

call into the show, make a video. Don't do that, dude. Make a video about why you used to do that. Maybe you still do it. His wife's watching right now

and she's like, oh my God, yes. Yes, exactly. Finally, someone gets my plate. do it but his wife's watching right now and she's like oh my god yes yes exactly um finally someone gets my plate uh yeah uh what what was the thing about was the last one about the the the essays right was that the last one no it was the uh the animals dying oh right uh we both how could i have the worst short-term memory i have the worst short-term memory i

have the worst short-term memory in the history of humanity it's mind-boggling how much i forget stuff that just happened and remember everything that happened a long time ago i have the best short-term memory and the worst long-term memory and i have the best short-term memory it's a joke no it's like a fucking Steve Martin joke, you know? Wanted me to say Steve Martin, not Uncle Vinny. You know Steve Martin? Him and I kind of fucking vibe like that, have the same thing.

The least similar senses of humor. Well, we're both silly, right? He wants to be like Steve Martin. I mean, I'm just saying I could get a suit. All right, next one. Oh, here we go. Hi, Chris and Matt. I love you guys so much. I'm a day one baby. Day one listener of Congratulations, of Lifeline,

The Private Record. I'm a huge fan of you guys and what you guys do. My issue is that I just really don't enjoy being around my boyfriend's family. They're very prim and proper and formal, and my family just isn't, so I'm just not used to the formality. But I've been with him for years. We're planning on getting married in the near future, but I've yet to just really relax and be comfortable around them. His two brothers and their girlfriends are really close to our age, but they have huge fucking ginormous sticks up their assholes and just give off this energy that they're so much better

and more put together than us. And it just feels like a constant competition of who's doing the best and who's most successful. And it's just obnoxious, and it's gotten to a point where I really just dread having to be around all of them it's definitely not a situation where I can just avoid spending time with them um we've tried to just you know try and get them to let loose I'm always trying to lean in and deepen my connection with everyone anyway but I just feel so different from all of them that it doesn't seem to help or

make anything more pleasant so you know is this sometimes just a part of having in-laws and just buying the bullet for your partner and getting through these little family weekends? Or is there a way that I can make these family gatherings a little bit more enjoyable? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Love you guys. Thank you. At some point, it's's not on you anymore you

know i mean like it sounds like he your your soon-to-be husband agrees with you which is i think the most important thing if that's the case which is what it sounds like you guys need to figure out little things you can do while you're around them little signals little oh exactly little code words like that uh that you can it's like little moments where you can be making each other laugh or at least feel like you're in something together oh i thought you meant to signal to each other that is what it is oh you're signaling i've got to take a big shit yeah that might not be the best code phrase for that because then you actually have to get up and leave for a little while but your boyfriend will like it and they're i'm trying but yeah you gotta up the enjoyment of the tiny unit within the bigger group.

Otherwise, you are destined to just suffer through them. And then obviously you talk about it afterwards, but you want to be able to do that during so you can at least have little spikes of enjoyment throughout. But yeah, that is part of... It's why people say, oh, the in-laws are coming to town and everybody knows what you mean yeah i mean like look you know at some point you just got to divorce yourself from the actual you know other people that are adding to this if you're trying to fix it and they can't then that's on them yeah you know i i it's hard it's hard it's hard it's

probably one of the hardest things to do in life. I think is actually, uh, not take on other people that matters. Feelings like that, you know? Um, yeah. Explain that a little bit. Well, like you, you know, you, you said I was, you said I'm actually good at it, but I was thinking about it after you said that you said this last time. And I'm like, i am good at it unless

they like matter if it's kristin or you or you know mom or dad my kids you know it's like if if i did something that made them feel bad my world is way different but if it's somebody i work with or somebody that is like i don't care like i don't that I was like, I don't care. I'm like, I don't know. That didn't happen. I don't care. What if it has nothing to do with something you did? That's good. That's a good question.

Does it affect you? No. Really? It only affects you if it has something to do with the effect of your behavior. It's my codependence. It's my codependence is what I'm getting at. Wouldn't that be the opposite though? Well, like if somebody, like, okay, look, if somebody came up and said, oh man, I just

lost my job. Of course I would fucking feel bad for them. Is that what you're asking? I mean, it's an example of the kind of thing, but like I'm talking about a little smaller scale stuff. Like you sense someone's just down and you care about that person. It has nothing to do with you but i would feel it yeah i would if i cared about the person okay but but you did say

i'm good at that yeah you're good my perception of you was that you're good at not taking on other people's feelings of people you care about uh it depends really it really depends all right i'm the worst at that. I take on everybody. No, you are the worst at it. Yeah, you are the worst at it. Okay, I mean, making me feel bad about you. No, you're a huge gaping... Died.

Flatlined. One more? No. Yeah? Yeah. Okay. Hey, Matt and Chris. Love the content.

Keep it coming. Okay. I actually made a submission ages ago uh about my fear of flying yeah i remember this guy you helped me so much actually because you said that like i'm not that special to be the one to die in the plane crash but you also said that um you give my family a million pounds if i died in a plane crash and i kind of feel like you saying that i was like well if i fucking died a plane crashed and like this would be the maddest coincidence so but i feel like it would be kind of sick in some in some respects but um i've been thinking about this thing i have a feeling that chris is going to agree with me

agree with me and matt and matt might not but i'm also going to try and explain this because i find it kind of hard to explain this but um when i'm watching films or listening to music um you know it's like it's it's subjective and certain films will be or music will say you know take from it whatever you get um but with me i feel like i'm watching or listening to this thing because i think that like I think that the person who's making is sick So I want to know what you're thinking and what I should take away from it because otherwise if you just have a song That's really vague I might think oh well I must be really biased and just take my idea away from it and just kind of keep going with What I'm with what I'm doing because it fits with my life

Whereas what I want to hear is like that person who's so fucking clever to make that. I want to know exactly what they're telling me and what they think. Like, for instance, Matt making a film, you might say, take from it whatever you get from it. But if I'm wanting to learn something, I want to know exactly what you're thinking and why you're making it so I can take away whatever you're telling me because you're fucking way smarter than me probably. Probably. But, yeah, I don't know what you guys think. I hope that makes sense.

I want to discount the other opposite. I'm interested in what you guys think about that. We'll get in the back. Thank you so much. Keep doing everything you're doing. You're the best. You're cool. Yeah.

doing um in the best you you're cool yeah you only own 50 of what you make creatively though because it's like once you put it out into the world it's what other people take from it is that's what's important to them i mean you know and and and that's kind of one of the things about art right i mean i don't i i always want to know like if i see a david david lynch movie i wish i knew what david lynch was don't you think think part of you wishing it so badly is that you know he'll never tell? I'm in the middle of this because I, as a person making, there's two versions. There's me as an audience and me as the maker. As the maker, I'm kind of interested in being like, okay, this is what I meant

in the right context. But sometimes you just want to be like, it's more important what it meant to you because at a certain point, there's like a tipping point, I think, where you're potentially

diminishing someone's enjoyment of it by explaining too much. But I don't subscribe to the thing that Lynch does, which is like, I don't explain anything at all. It's just, there's,

it's beyond explanation. Even for me, it's all up to you. It's like, I'm more in the middle. So I get both. And it can be very frustrating when an artist is like, I don't know.

It's not up to me. It's like, well, you made it though. You went through all the pain in the ass work of making it. Every single step you went through because you just had to make it so bad. You didn't feel nothing about it. We want to know what you feel.

Did I tell you about the, I saw the TV Glow movie? Did I saw it? Yeah, I didn't see it. But it's like that. It's kind of like, what is this about? And then you think about it. And I was watching it and I was like, man, this is really good. I think I know what they're saying. But i looked up an interview of the director afterwards and she just fucking

explained it and i was like oh yeah that ain't it or are you like no no that was what i thought but a version of what i thought it's never gonna be the same right but like i'm i'm like that's good i was like oh cool all right and i liked it more It's a bit of a cop-out, I think, when filmmakers, at least, are like, no, no, I don't want to sing. I think they're sort of backing away from the risk of alienating the most possible people liking the movie.

Some filmmakers. Because it's safer to be like, I don't know, it's up to you. And then that person can take whatever they want and so can everyone else who heard that interview. But it takes kind of like a bigger nutsack, a bigger honore de baisac, right?

I don't know. Not sure what that is. To say, this is what I meant and if you thought something else, you're fucking wrong. That would be sick if every director was like,

you know, or every writer of every book was like, this is what I meant. If you think that other thing and that means a a lot to you guess what you're fucking wrong and you wasted all your time doing that because maybe it is right then that would be absolutely insane but that would be the ballsy shit to do literally the ballsy is because your balls were just fucking uh steven spielberg that'd be amazing i wasn't what schindler's list meant

about bfg about bfg what's that the the animated movie about the big friendly giant oh yeah big friendly giant big fucking giant uh not enough people know what bfg is though i bet more people watching this show know what bfg is than schindler's list no way that's crazy bro i you're so out of line look well what i mean that's i'm just going off what's more recent people know things that are recent schindler's this is a classic all-time it's classic it's classic all-time movie bfg i didn't know what it was when you said it, dude. It sounds like a rap group. But dude, you're like 55, you know what I'm saying? Like most- I'm not 55, I'm 44 and let me do my stuff, dude.

Most people aren't paying attention to movies that came out 30 years ago, man. You're completely, that's off, you're off, bro. And we figured it out, so that's great. Comment. Yeah, let us know in the comments. And don't be afraid to be like, I know what BFG is,

but I don't know what Shin Resistance. Nobody cares. Everybody knows movies don't mean anything to anybody. Oh, fuck. I'm going to be in Australia. I forgot to do my dates. God dang it, man. I wanted to do it in the middle.
