Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, this is episode 1,075. It's Sunday, August 31st. Happy birthday to Joe Budden.

Wow. pump pump it up why did joe budd in he he was a good rapper and a good freestiler and he just kind of does the his podcast now i think it's because it's so huge and he's probably is it that big yeah it's a big big as far as i know that is a big big podcast and how about how joe budden is pretty much the same name as joe biden i thought it said joe biden when i first took my first grants but there's another birthday and it's someone i don't know who it is and maybe i should and that person's name is similar to Doe Button in a certain sense because the name is

Jalen Brunson. Am I dumb for not knowing who that is? Is that a basketball player or am I racist? See? Knew it. I mean, that's not mutually exclusive. It could be that you are both. Yeah, true. But Jalen is, I would say, a black name. Right? Yeah.

Well, I mean, now. I must have heard it that it's a basketball player because I got it. Otherwise, how would I have gotten it? You know there's a few white dudes in like Tampa or like named Jalen. Fort Lauderdale. Yeah, for sure.

No question. So sign up for our Patreon, patreon. Patreon.com slash Lifeline Luxury. There are 60 plus episodes, including two full live shows. And subscribe on our YouTube, huh? Yeah, make sure you do that.

And I dislike the, why does everyone say this? Smash that like button. Why is it smashed? When did that become a thing? It's like when people say pregnant women are beaming. It's like it became a thing to say,

smash that like button. And I dislike it. Well, yeah, but beaming, I don't know about beaming because I sometimes have used beaming not just with pregnant ladies. And is it only for pregnant ladies? No, it's not. No, no, no, no. Beaming is a thing. It's just become, what I'm saying is it's become a thing that people say about pregnant women.

They're beaming. Yeah, oh, I see. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, yeah, I don't think most people say smash that like button, but it's a big thing. The big guys, some of the big guys do it is popular. And then, I'm not interested in smashing it. But do hit it, do touch it, do like it. That would be really a great thing.

I think kiss it, make out with it. As long as it presses and hits the, in effect, we get a like, that's all we get about. Kiss the screen while you hit it and click it. Yeah. And then go, oh. Yeah. So, uh, yeah. And that's it.

Oh, by the way, I'm going to be in, uh, so, well, I'll be in. Salt Lake City. I will be in Boise. I will be in Washington, D.C., Tulsa, Springfield, Missouri, Fort Smith, Arkansas. And now it's going too fast. Pentecola, Florida. There's another one he missed, but that's all good. Europe, New Orleans. We're going to Europe. The fact that you're going to Oslo is truly sick to me. Is it? I just added Copenhagen. That's very cool. And it's going quickly, so that's good. Amsterdam is going quickly. London is going quickly. The only one that's not moving quick is Dublin.

That is weird. I would think Irish people love me because of how Irish people are. I would just think that they would, I would think that out of a lot of those, Dublin would be one of my top. And that's, I'm selling tickets, but not as fast as the other ones, which is just, I don't know why. I wonder why. Maybe they did. Maybe they're, maybe they get tickets late. Maybe because it's raining.

They're just sad. And they just, you know, they're like, oh. I will do it later. I have never been, but I've heard Copenhagen is like such a sick city. I want to go to the one, oh, wait, is Gothenburg not on there? No, it is. Gothenburg. What even is that?

That's the place, no, Gothenburg is the Gothenburg. That's what it is, Gothenburg. Gothenburg is the place where, I'll be there October 12th, but that's the place in every spy movie where they meet on the bridge. It is. For real. Yeah. If you Google it, Google Gothenburg. Bridge.

Just go, I don't know if it's called Bridge, but go to Gotham. Just Google Gothenburg. I messed it up. Don't do bridge. I messed it. Now, we don't have Anthony, so don't accurately. There, right there. Get it?

Oh, dude, that's a mission impossible. Literally right there. See? The first thing that came up was the bridge that I was talking about. But then he messed it up. He messed it up by clicking back and doing that thing, yeah. And there too. They meet spies meet there.

There. There. There. Now he'll mess it up. that's in the first mission impossible is it okay so that must be what i'm thinking of just like jalen brunson so i'm i'm using my uh whatever that brain that's part of my brain is but you can get there for five hundred dollars from here wow that's crazy the flights are just too long they need to make faster planes 500 dollars from los angeles a 15 hour flight how and by the way nine hundred

dollars to go to fort lauderdale right yeah right right right you know yeah that looks like a beautiful city. So you're going to be in Sweden for a little bit then. Well, it's like, it ends up being like two, three days, I think, because I'm going to Stockholm, Gothenburg. One is a, and, uh, yeah, I don't know. That's very cool. You know, I, I, I am excited.

I am excited. So, yeah, uh, I don't know what first class is. That would be probably more, more money. Go to go to, go to, go to, up, up, up, up, up, where it says economy, right there. Yeah. Business. I guess business is, is fine. Oh, my. So a difference between $500 and $8,000.

Or even up to almost $13. Well, that's first class. Go to business. I don't know what the difference is. I still don't know what the difference is. But yeah, it's the same. Oh, no, it's not the same. Significantly different.

Oh, significantly cheaper. Okay. Less than half. Yeah, yeah. 3,500. All right, uh, whatever. So it's expensive. Also, of course, sign up for my new Patreon.

Just make sure you sign up at patreon.com slash Natalia, thank you very much. Bing bong, bing, man, bing, bamb, bong. Wow, it's been a while since you bing bong. That, well, you know, I had to bring it back. Yeah. Uh, I ate vegetable and fruit, uh, uh, uh, uh, cereal yesterday from Cheerios. Well, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's vegetable fruit. It's, it's got vegetables and and strawberry fruit kind of stuff in it and you dried? Like, literally that. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. And, like, you know, it looks like Cheerios, and you go, oh, this is going to be bad, right? Right. Of course, I mean, that sounds really bad. But it's not. It wasn't.

And I ate it. And, you know, it's up to you if you want to know if you think I farted all night or not. I think you've made it today and also today. That way makes us think that you were farting on. Bro, what's up with cereal? If you do cereal, I mean, maybe it's the milk and the, you know, the wheat and all the shit in there, the grains. Dude, forget it.

You fart? No. Is that what you mean? No, you fart? No. Just saying one could. I mean, I mess with cereal, and the way I mess with cereal is one way only. It is vanilla almond clusters.

It could be from anywhere, but I do the Trader Joe's one. They're good. And I put oat milk in it. And let me tell you something. Farmercial bill. Let me tell you something. I'm sorry, almond milk. I put oat milk in my coffee.

almond milk in my cereal. It is, et voila, it is, I don't know what that means, it's French, but it is so pampen, pimping. Really? Yep, it is so good. I eat it at night. You know, you do it at night, right? Yeah, I don't, I would never eat cereal in the day, I would never eat it in the morning, I'll tell you that much. Yeah, same. Yeah. What cereal? Huh? What cereal?

Vanilla almond cluster. I know, I was asking him to repeat it. Oh, oh. Cool, you have headphones on, and you're watching him, but okay. Well, I missed it. There was cross talk. What? Yeah, no, no, no, I know. he's looking at him and you saw his mouth say it and you heard his mouth say it and you have headphones on amplifying it but it's all good.

Okay. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, I like cereal a lot, but whatever. Dude, you ever have these things that you think of all the time? Like, I have, okay, when I eat cereal, I think of, I would say, over 60 to 6, over 65% of the time I think of when I was younger in high school,

And I was at John May's house, and I was eating some of his cereal, and I had two bowls. And he said jokingly, hey, don't eat the whole bag, huh? Or don't eat the whole box, huh? And I was like, yeah. I was like, I'm not. But it made me feel weird. And I think about it all the time. Another one that I think about.

It's very, I mean, the things we get stuck in our brain are just wild. Literally, that just happened one day. And I think about it all the time. This one, I think of 100% of the time. When my food comes out and it's hot and I eat it. One time Mako said, man, when food comes out and it's piping hot or whatever he said, like, it's the best ever. And I love when it's so hot when it comes out. And I, and that's not even interesting.

No, it's not that interesting. And I think about when my food is hot, I think of, well, I would say 95% of the time. God. I think of him saying that. I think of him saying that. That is boring. Does that feel? What?

That's boring. It's so boring. Does it make you feel honored that he does. It's power. A little bit. But why that? Why? Why do I think of that?

Things I think of that random things Like you're describing trigger for me It's just so weird It makes it It is utterly mystifying Like it's not tits Did you guys

Some chocolate Did you guys ever know anybody to This started in a Like a group of friends That I became friends with in high school That were like this skater kids And I think somebody did it And then everybody started doing it

But we would go to each other's houses and if somebody wanted a snack they would pull out cereal okay all of this is normal except for they started taking out bigger bowls salad size bowls

pouring a huge bowl of cereal and then eating it with a wooden spoon now I've seen that as a joke but what are you talking about skateboarding what does that have to do with it the skateboarding friends friends that I had became a thing that you guys did just made it just made it fucking started it on

at such a curveball that's so weird So the perfect dark with Vindiesel is a franchise. So what we would do is go to someone's house, get a big bowl and eat cereal with a wooden spoon. Why'd you mention fucking perfect dark? Oh, I just keeping it fresh. I thought it added appropriate context. I actually thought, and I was even going to ask you to maybe tell this story, I don't know if you're comfortable. but when you were eating snacks or something?

No, no, I'm not telling. I don't want to tell that story. Dude, the Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo, and the reason why God's finger is so lackadaisical, and the human, the finger is nice, because it's up to the human to touch God if he needs to, symbolically. You ever go to your friend's house and eat a big bowl of cereal?

Or the wooden spoon? Why did you bring up to Sisi Channel? Oh, I don't know. I just gave it a flavorful. That's actually pretty, is that true about the season? they say that why God is like this and the human is like this is because it's not up to God it's up to you and God is offering merely offering not that tracks I believe that yeah yeah how about how those guys were so amazing how they did that they're sorry no no go ahead

the the stone that you know created out of the marble and shit go ahead the way michael angelo did the ceasing temple is utterly insane I mean they made that whole movie about it with kirk Douglas but anyway that's not my point my point is we visited it you and I with our family we were really young but we visited the Sistine Chavo and obviously there's this like epic line just to like be in there yeah and we were in line and speaking to the things that I think about every time somebody mentions the Sistine Chapel or I see a picture of it or whatever I think about the the French couple in front of us oh and it was a man and a woman and the woman had like just regular woman hairy armpits oh and i was just like whoa dude europeans are nuts yeah it's like totally normal

but like you know i hadn't at that age yeah experienced a woman yeah and it was just like in my we were so close in line to them and i was just like down so close to a woman's armpit hair it's weird that that's a thing like if i see women with armpit hair i get i i literally have a reaction like ugh but it's not that's it's learned it's all learned it's made up it's so weird I feel like a bitch when I'm like that you might not

like this but it is a it is a trickle-down effect from stuck in the crank of the corp well no no I know that you know I mean I don't like when you say that but yes I do understand that it's just the truth that was a made up thing because they wanted to sell razors and make it seem feminine

really weird dude that's so weird and then we could thank Don Draper for that anyway what time period do you think that that started around then probably like 30s 40s

after the famous World Fair that what's his name I'm not gonna remember it doesn't matter like 20s 30s if that's true if the World's Fair is true

I mean if it's true I mean that whole thing there's a lot of mysticism around it what's that guy's name was that in Chicago Freud's cousin or uncle was that in Chicago came to a

America and taught all of these companies how to use Freudian psychology on the American masses to buy their products. What is his name, dude? The whole century of the self is based on Adam Curtis's Century of the Self, which is my favorite documentary. Well, but you never know about the World's Fair, though, because of the pictures back then and the drawings. Edward Bernays, I-Hah!

A constipated cowboy. Consumated cowboy. that's a good name yeah we should start let's the next one hey guys love the podcast I'm gonna get right to the point the gen z stare

and what I should do next time I went to the doctor's office went to the checkout counter the girl was glued to her phone finally looked up at me and then just deadpan stares me I smile at her still stares at me

and then I kind of gestured to her she just points without speaking and I go oh do I need to go and she goes check out over there and I've been there tons of times I've always checked out at the checkout counter she's staring at me like I'm the idiot she was gesturing to a check in counter

but I honestly wanted to ask her why did you just stare at me and not speak at all so what would your guys' advice be to say or do next time? Well no I think it's you know she was probably like waiting for you to say what you needed which is not great customer service but the further point is you're just dealing with

with a rude person that that's just rude i mean yeah it's gen z because she's holding her cell phone and not you know you know uh not you know doing them the least but she's just being rude at a certain point i mean people are just rude and rude in new ways because of technology or that is particularly odd though beyond that what should you have done or if it happens again what you should you do i think honestly what i would do i don't even know if this is the best advice because, you know, sometimes my temper gets in the way of things. Oh, yeah?

Uh, yeah. Uh, yeah. Uh, yeah. So, yeah, nobody knew that. So what do you do? Um, I would just sit, do exactly what she said. Uh, but I, but I, but I would try to be as non-confrontational about it, but like, why would, like, why, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, what do you, what do you? Yeah, yeah, I would probably, I could do something. I would maybe do something like that. Just ask very directly. You all right?

I mean, I've said like, y'all right to people before? Yeah, that's actually a pretty good one. If you want to be respectful. Well, because you never, I mean, look, dude, we've all had horrible days, horrible days. So you never really know what people are going through. So, look, chances are the person just a piece of shit,

but you never know, though. You know, maybe the, like, something to happen the other day. And I was like, I cannot believe this person is not even acknowledging I exist. And I was like, I was like totally doing something. And they were just rude. And they just like, it wasn't the kind of rude like to me. It was just self-centered and like, oh, no one else is in the universe.

Sure. And I was just like, this is incredible. You know, but people like that exist. I was talking about one of the stories on congratulations where I was at the gym and some lady was ordering a smoothie. I got something. And then she cut in line and like was just like, I need, I need the thing. And I'm just like, it's. crazy dude it's just crazy cut you in line to say well yeah she no she doesn't she interrupted me

while i was ordering and she could because she was like i just need i need the um i to know where to pick up the thing and which is which is fine it i broke this down in congratulations but it's fine to go in and be like you know if you already waited in line it's definitely okay to be like oh hey sorry but you have a straw you know that's fine i i get that but it wasn't that and it was crazy and it made it worse because she thought she was hot shit you know that's very annoying when people cut in line for any reason yeah it's amazing how many times i get cut in line do i have a cut in line look yeah you look like a guy that should be cut in line because i don't think i do look like it's been happening ever since that old guy at kfc cut us

in line and said it was because he was old and deserved it and we didn't do anything I don't even remember that. I knew. I vaguely remember it. I mean, speaking of the thing you're talking about memories triggering or stories triggering memories, every time somebody talks about cutting in line, I think about that old guy at KFC, I still want to kick him. Wow, well, he's dead now. So let's see how that worked out for him.

All right, let's do the next one. Hey, man, Chris. I'm a long-time listener here, so I'm really excited. I've always wanted to send in a video, but I've never had anything to ask because I have my shit together. But now I need your help. Basically, I have a Jim Crush and I want him to ask me out and contacts, I know that he's single. And I've been putting down, like, signals to him that, like, kind of giving him the green light that he could talk to me and ask me out. For example, like, I'll talk to him.

I'm friendly. I'll start a conversation. And now, like, he'll wave to me now, but he still has not asked me out. So what are your thoughts on a woman asking him out? How would you respond to that? Do you think it's emasculating? And, yeah, should I do it? If I should, do any good pickup lines?

I have some ideas, but I would love to hear from the one and only. Anyway, I love you guys, and yeah. It's interesting because I don't, that's really interesting, because I don't, I don't, how would I feel if a girl hit on me? I mean, first things first, I would feel, the word she used, I would feel zero percent emasculated. Right, right, but, but, well, well, yeah, I don't think, but, well, some guys might, but I, I don't even think emasculated is the right. word. I feel like guys would feel like, oh, well, I guess it is the right word because it's like, oh, well, you might think, why didn't I do that? I was going to do that. It's up to the guy. What the heck? So maybe that is emasculated. But for me, I don't, I don't think I would feel

emasculated, but I, you know, obviously have people come up to me and say shit, but like, um, I mean, just look at me. I'm six to two. Hulking. Even though you're really famous and I'm just kind of a guy. happens to me more. Go ahead. Keep going. If I wasn't famous, it would happen to me more than it happens to you. No. And when I'm at the gym, I also look even better because I'm like,

You're pumping? I'm like glistening. Anyway, I, and then so. Getting so sidetracked. But the, the, yeah, I don't, I mean, you could just do it, you know, if, if, if women can, be equal, then just do it. If women can vote, then do it. I mean, you're not taking it so far back.

Well, women aren't, to women's suffrage. Well, women aren't equal, but women are... Oh, they're not. Digging it so deep for no reason whatsoever. They excel at certain things and then aren't as good as other things. Just digging it, dude. You wouldn't want a woman fucking guarding, you know, anything. But you'd want them to be...

They are good at other things, all right? Guy, you'd want a guy guarding the door, as all I'm saying. Pete Hegseth. Straight up, Pete Hegseth, his co-host. But, you know, that's fine. But women, treat them equally, okay? But they're not equal at all things. But who's- Jesus. Christ. Who's even saying that, you know, you're bringing that up. Here's the point. You're a beautiful woman. The guy is single. Are blacks or whites equal? Yes. What do you want on your basketball team?

That's all I'm saying. Can't stop bringing up black people in basketball. But, um... Not white. You're a beautiful woman. He probably is doing what most good guys do, which is the thing at the gym. Yeah. We talk about all the time.

Gym etiquette thing is you don't approach women at the gym, dude. You just don't. do that. It's almost an unwritten rule, but it's not. It's not because I think, I think that there are times where like this, it's okay. Like, if this guy is feeling like, oh, I'm actually getting signs, then it's okay. Like, I don't think it's just a strict no-go. I do, but for sure, okay. You don't? I really, I really do think that. So then what if this guy wanted to ask her out and she wanted to be asked out, then he'd have to wait to see her somewhere else? No, no, I mean, no I think that

yeah it's tough I just think that it's it from what I hear women say it happens so much and it's deeply frustrating to that yeah and therefore I think that but of course there's going to be

exceptions I mean she's not the only woman in the world who wants a guy specific guy at the gym to talk to her more and ask her out anyway he might just be thinking of this as a thing as a no-no like an unwritten rule all you have to do because you are you and look the way you do and you guys already have some kind of rapport even if it's not much like you don't need a pickup line you don't need anything besides you being you that day you know however you're looking and just straight up go up to him and ask him and know that he's going to say yes ask him what i mean your version in your words like I know this is kind of awkward because we're at the gym

and the gym is not the place for this, but I don't see you anywhere else. But like you can even say like I kind of like a weird cross on you and it's kind of embarrassing. As a woman, you have much more leeway to just be dead honest about this kind of stuff. And so I think it's totally chill for you to do that. And, you know, if he's single and like,

in the normal headspace of a normal guy he's just going to say yes he just is I would assume yeah he's just gonna say yes like yeah because if I'm at unless he just got to have like a horrible breakup and he's you know who knows but like I guess I'm trying to think if I was at the gym

which I am a lot right but if I'm there and I see and I'm single and I see a woman that I have a rapport with and I'm gonna and I'm gonna ask, I don't imagine, yeah, I don't imagine I would do that. I don't imagine I would, but if the woman said, hey, it's weird, it's weird, though, because, like, coming up, my job was always like, I would just be like, oh, yo, you want to come out?

Like, almost like a promoter does, you know what I mean? Like, I'm, I'm, like, you could come see me perform sometime. That's what I would do. That was such an easy thing to, you know, get your foot in. But if I had to do something like, yo, let's hang out sometime. and I think I would still do it I think I would just be Yeah

No but I'm trying to think of like It would be a little harder But I would still Do it Like I don't know You know some guys just don't Most guys just don't do that Don't do what

They won't ask a girl out No now It's like an epidemic right now With I want to say young men But it's truly It's worse with young men But it's men up to In their 40s

They're afraid to I know, but I'm talking now with dating apps, especially. I know. I understand. It's worse. That kind of whole thing has taken over. And it's like, there are women in the world that are like, oh, no, you can't, men don't talk to us in, like, public, that's for dating apps, which is so weird. But truly, most women are not like that. So, you, as a guy, you know, you just got to go do it. There was a, but then it's like, there was this thing where a guy, this server, I saw this video of some streamer, she streams like her whole life and like this server.

at a restaurant was like oh back up because she she was going to get like squirt like water on her and he grabbed her and she was like no don't touch me she was like see i'm not you don't touch someone that doesn't and he's like what what the guy do he goes he goes like this afterwards afterwards he was like i yeah he was like i don't i'm i don't understand i'm just trying to you know yeah yeah and it's like dude just it's such a weird position it's just like so But yeah, but like that happens all the time And it's exacerbated in the media So it's like don't it's like

And then and then women will be like Guys don't ask me out It's like all right, well Definitely don't touch the woman Yeah, yeah yeah I understand that I'm not saying you are but no no no I know But but but but but I get what you're saying

I mean if you were gonna get If a guy was gonna get scored of water I may be like bro Yeah of course you know I'm not trying to fucking feel his balls It's also kind of instinctive Right it's not like you have enough time to think Oh, wait, I shouldn't touch her because of X, Y, Z.

It's like, you're trying to do your job. You're trying to make sure someone doesn't get wet. He's just going to move them before they get wet. It's not like he was like, watch out water. Honk! Right, well. Oh, yeah. Oh, dude, you got all wet still, even though the water didn't hit you.

Anyway, you know, double wet. Yeah. Oh, shit, you got double wet. Definitely going to be the title of the episode. No, no, no, no. constipated cowboy oh yeah double wet's good too though double wet all right ah shit your clothes and coochie got wet you know something sure what's up guys i'm just gonna get straight to it i was just wondering if you guys have ever dealt with or found yourself thinking about whether your girl thinks

about her ex or has feelings or anything like that um i imagine a good amount of guys have this of you know insecurity in the back of their mind but of course they do my girlfriend honestly she really even talks about it or him or anything at all uh she was in a long-term relationship that ended like a few years ago and uh she always tells me like our relationship is very different in this it's the first you know real one where she finds herself wanting to be married and which is amazing and it's 99% of the time it's amazing but like occasionally i'll get these random like waves of insecurity like oh i wonder if she thinks about them or whatever happened with that but uh but yeah i don't know there's been no actual signs or anything like that between him and her

just the mind running away yeah yeah but i was wondering if on the phone you guys have ever dealt with this so thank you i have i i i i i have i i i i i have I do not have that. I have never thought about that. I have thought about, you know, I have gotten insecure in my past about how like a random night that maybe my,

my girlfriend or whatever at the time was with some guy. Like, did he, did he like fucking blow her socks off? I've been insecure about that. that before but never like oh does she secretly want to be with her ex or something ever and as a matter of fact i'll go that if if a if a woman i was with wanted to be with her ex i would just want her to be with her ex yeah well you yeah right yeah i i because she's not invested in you yeah

would you want no i yeah i i never felt that way and i understand that that's how guys feel and i'm not trying to say like I'm cool because I am saying I have been insecure about my woman getting her socks blown off by guys in the past sexually and you know in the heat of the moment wise but not not does she actually want to be with her ex no but I think that's probably common so I used to be really pretty jealous and insecure about my girlfriends have previous boyfriends, especially two particular girlfriends when I was much younger, uh, that had dated like really successful, really famous guys. Yeah. Maybe guys in your area, uh, guys in your, uh, in your profession? Uh, once, a few. Yeah, but, but we'll do with this one girl I dated, uh, had dated

a hockey player for like a long time. Every, but every girl that's hot. Right. Has dated a hockey right so he this guy this particular hockey player is specifically known as like at the time maybe he still is i don't follow hockey like the bad boy hot guy of hockey like hot he's who would always get into fights and like was he was he is really handsome and i like to see him trying to stand up and then and then i saw like her phone once yeah right right right and i don't go through people's shit right right but like her phone was just out and they had been texting like while we were dating

and it was nothing like whatever but I was like oh damn I did not want to see that first of all but it definitely triggered me but that girl in particular I was crazy jealous

of anything about her with her past the second one that had dated and that was Michelle Obama right right and then after that first girlfriend the girlfriend after that had dated like some of the straight-up

most famous and admired men in the field of the movie industry. I don't remember dating her. We're talking about literally dated all of these people. You ready? Walking Phoenix, Vince Vaughn. I mean, just whatever. A bunch of guys are two big ones already. Huge, like, movie.

I don't remember dating her. And I walked in one day, we lived together. I walked in one day and she was watching a Vince Vaughn movie. Yep. and that's funny and by this time this was several years later I was significantly less jealous

because I think over time you just get into and yeah yeah you have to and because you get less insecure about it and but I remember just it just pissed me off that she knew us coming home

right sure and that I was going to walk in and then she was going to be watching a movie enjoying a movie with her ex of course in it and so I love Vince Vaughn first of all yeah yeah of course It's great. It's not about that. Nothing to do with that. But that almost made it worse, you know? But I remember being like, I took it up with her like right away. Like before I should have sat on it because then I would have just not done this. But right away, I was like, why would you do that? Why would you, like, why wouldn't you like respect me enough to like change the channel before? And then I was thinking like, that's the dumbest. Like what I'm doing right now is one of the dumbest things I could do. It's also worse if she changes the channel.

It's worse. Exactly. I don't want that. No, you want her to not think about it. Not cool. Like, I wanted it to not even enter her mind,

you know? And honestly, I would say, maybe I'm narrativeizing this in retrospect because that's easy to do. But I really do believe that since that exact day

and me being such a, just a bonehead idiot guy and being so openly insecure and stupid and angry for no good reason I think that that literally since that day I don't think I've been jealous

once since then because it just showed me it's so stupid it's so stupid and so useless it's useless once you open it only gets worse it's like dude if you're some guy just hit me up and he was like

how do you deal with hate on the internet because I'm really going through it right now and I'm like just don't look and it doesn't exist because it doesn't. And if you don't open it, if you don't, like, dude, if you don't say, who did you used to date and what were they like, then you're not going to feel any sort of way about it. If it comes up, oh, yeah, I dated fucking Anthony Mackey or whatever, you go, all right,

now I know, maybe I don't watch Captain America, but I wasn't going to be it anyway, you know. But, or you just go, all right, don't, you don't need to know about that, you know, your pass is your past. For me, that's what, that's what I do anyway. So you don't want to know, no. Just don't want to know. No. Well, for what reason?

Well, I mean, it's their life and they want to talk about it. No, tell me about things that have happened, but I don't need to know, I don't need to put a face to. You don't even know who it is. No. No. Sure. Got it. Hollywood is weird for that.

Like, you don't, like, I mean, my ex is all, I have all dated famous people. And then now they're dating people and I'm the ex, you know? And like, I don't, like, there's no reason for them to know about me or me. And also, like, respect. Like, dude, it's like. You know how they say that one thing is like, hey, if you really want to hurt, there's this awful saying. It's like, hey, you really want to hurt your, get back at your guy, fuck his hero. Oh, geez, okay.

But that's like. I don't think I've heard that. That doesn't. That's a dark thing to think. It's very dark because of the intention, what it intends, intentionality. But bro, like, if you're going to cheat or break up with me, that's who I want you to fuck. I'm not being 100% serious. that he's like oh good

you did the right thing you got the best version of the kind of guy I want to be like that I'm not you got it good do you have a guy

that's like that in your head no but like a verse George Bush George W Bush no but like you know it would be a guy that's like

it would be a guy that's like Vince Vaugh you know a funny guy that's like you know that I think is cool yeah I'm like good you did it

good I would be like fucking yeah I don't I don't find that it's worse if you're if you're fucking the guy who skateboards and doesn't have a job you know because like oh you like him for what because it's because of what so you're saying okay if i can pinpoint why you like the guy then that's that's good sure oh you like him because he's successful funny rich handsome whatever the fuck it is but if you're just like if i can't tell then i i'm like

what is it? It's a mystery. I feel it makes me feel bad. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Jealousy is a dead end is the is the bottom line, I think. And even if it is, you know, some guys, some, I mean, some women are explosively jealous, dude. I mean, I dated a girl that was just like, it ruined our relationship. It literally ruined our relationship. Yeah. She was convinced I was cheating on her. I actually was not, never once in her two-year relationship did I cheat on her. I never wanted to. I thought she was the most attractive woman in the world.

the time and and I wouldn't have even my eyes didn't even wander but she just was convinced not only that I was cheating on her but they were she like had specific people that she thought I was cheating on her with and I was like dude I there's I can't handle this like you're just making a thing up yeah and you're ruining you're you're you're ultimately you're choosing to ruin our relationship I know it's hard I know you're jealous I I know it's a part of your, you know, insecurity, whatever. But, like, after a certain point, you're bringing this up, like, every week. Like, every single week.

Like, our relationship's over. Yeah. And so, obviously, you're not there and you're never going to be there. But my point is, it's not even that it is a slippery slope. It's that it's just, it is a dead end, and there is no good outcome of jealousy. and you already won if she thinks about her ex guess what

who gives a shit you have her and she wants to marry you but also she should think about her ex sometimes because it's part of her life well I think he thinks oh yeah not just thinking longing for missing him

thinking a wish I was still with him instead of this guy right or some version of that but dude no if you have no reason to think that first of all don't think that She starts giving you hints of that. That's a different story.

But like, if you're, if it's just entering your mind, think of it as like anything else that is like that is utterly useless. Like some person in your professional field that is doing better than you. Like, you're like the, like, you're envious of that. There's no. Yeah. Don't keep the sugar in the house, I guess. Then you won't fucking eat it, you know? It's like, anyway, I'm fucking smart.

I think of great things like that. don't keep the sugar in the house. Is that an expression? No. You made it out? I just said it. And now it's fucking... Do I believe you is the question?

Do I believe you that is not an expression? It's not an expression. You made it up? Yeah, 100%. Don't keep the sugar in the house? Yeah. And it's going to probably go bonkers. It's going to go viral.

It'll be so viral. It's going to be... It's going to be so annoying. It's going to be like that one time, somebody's going to say it and they're going to be like, oh, fucking that guy made it up. And I'll be like, no, I made it up. Like when Justin Bieber used my...

secute and everyone was like oh justin beaver made up secute and i'm like dude dude dude yeah anyway it's deeper the time has told that secute was mine but it's like the sugar one could is mine dude i don't give the sugar in the house just real quick before we move on i'm famous now oh and i learned this through a member of my patreon community they I don't know why they started They did this but they look They asked chat GPT Who came up

Or about sucking the crank of the corp Okay It literally has a whole story about me About me on and the date And the episode of Lifeline Where I'm where I coined it Like what I was referring to Really?

Yeah dude Even is talking about Mattel specifically And like the context Isn't that weird? But but So I'm famous I'm really, really famous. And it's just like, dude, thank you, God, you know, I'm famous.

Don't keep the sugar in the house one. Bring it back. Bring it back to you. More of a one that would be used more. Well, I mean, we'll see. If in like 10 months, don't keep the sugar in the house, you asked chat GPD, who came up with don't keep the sugar in the house. And it's this whole epic story about Chris Delia on episode 175 of Lifeline, then yeah.

Let's see, just to make sure, don't keep the sugar in the house. I will say this, though. I don't know. Yeah, no, it's not a saying. Yeah. Hell yeah, bro. I coined it. Hey, coined it.

Dude, that's like that. We're being like Black Rob when he was like, when he made that song, whoa. And he's like, whoa. You see something you say, whoa. Woe is a new word we doing. Whoa. I don't even remember him saying that. That's hilarious.

But no, in the beginning of this song entitled, whoa. A new word we're doing. Yeah, I mean, he doesn't say. that exactly, but we'll let's do it Lifeline luxury. Okay, cool. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah. I think Michael and I've talked about this before. But anyway, it is that. He goes like, yeah, now,

now I'm going to tell you something about this, whoa. Right, right, right, right. It's like that. We get it. It's just a word woe. Every single infant knows woe. Right. And every line in the rap song ends with woe. So, right. All good. We get it. Yeah, thanks black, you know what I think about is you know, he's obviously being really thirsty, trying to if that to become something. Yeah.

Not me with the sugar one, though. I just think it will. Okay. Yeah. But then, you know, if you want to use it, you can use it. Other people have done the same thing

and they just, they don't, it's just as thirsty. I guess it's just sad when it doesn't really become a thing. No, no, no. It's not that, though. It's not that. It's when you can tell the person

is trying to coin something. That is when it's bad. Okay. That's what he's saying. Black Rob was doing it with woe. I was not doing it with the sugar one. Okay. And if you want to use a sugar one, just know where it originated, which is lifeline here.

For me, I did it. I'm going to give you a third one. Okay. Remember when Soldier Boy came up and crank that? Because he wasn't saying, this is what cranked that is. He just came. It's like the difference between. It was organic, you're saying.

Well, it's not even that it's organic. It's you can make up, and the macarena became a huge thing because they're not like, this is what the macarena is. So you're saying it's all how they do it. You can't be like, I'm creating something. Here it is. People are like, you're a bitch. You got to just do it. I mean, if I remember correctly,

Soldier Boy was like going around fucking trying to get everybody on the street to do the dance and film them and like have them upload it. That's different though. It's different than, are you going to do the crank that? All right. We all get together and doing the crank that. It's very close. No, no.

We have a hard disagreement between producer Chris and host Chris. That's pretty rare. yeah it's it's we're going to have a falling out no it's just overcrank that yeah my time here's done i just i just think it's different and i also i also think that there i also think that there is a level two you have to believe that the person understands how corny they're being like soldier boy i think probably understands there's a level of cornyness black rob does not well that the second one is definitely true and maybe maybe maybe sort of what doesn't but but but black rob for sure is like chill we're going to make this new term it's going to be nuts and i was not doing that

with the keeping the sugar in the house one and that's why that has legs and i'm if somebody uses it just remember that it came from doing it absolutely doing it did did it work with black rob is my last question before we move on okay it did not absolutely not okay and did he did one too about he was i remember him doing it he did it in a song and then he was explaining it on i think it was that making the band thing or whatever was he was like that's the crescendo the crescendo the crescendo is when this and it just never took off and that's why uh it doesn't take off because you don't realize how corny you're being and i'm not being corny with the sugar in the house thing i just think it's really great okay then all right well let's see what happens with

the sugar one at 10 months we'll check back in sure we'll probably will everybody comment don't keep the sugar in the house. What's going on, Matt and Chris? My name's Ken. I have a quick question for you guys. Last weekend, I was surfing in Oregon and I ran in when I saw a girl drowning. I swam out to save her, got her on the board, and then finally got her to safety. Unfortunately, along the way, I lost my surfboard to the water and just got smashed up

on the cliffs and I couldn't get it. The family of the girl was super grateful. I saved their daughter and they offered to buy me a new surfboard. I feel kind of weird about taking them up on that offer because surfboards are really expensive. They're like $600 to $1,200 if you get a decent one. Do I take it up on the offer and follow up and say, hey, you offered to get me this. This is the board I'm looking for. Or do I just cut my losses?

Say you're welcome. Don't follow up. And just go forward like it was the right thing to do. I feel kind of weird about following up and asking for a board in return. I don't really mind losing the board I lost. Not a big deal to me, but it would be nice to have a new one. Great question. Keep it up.

And I look forward to hearing your answer. I got the answer. I have the answer. Okay. You are in a very unique position. that 99.9 of men don't find themselves in you are a hero yeah okay just be a hero just be a hero just be a hero leave it at that you are that you don't don't do it any other way don't ask for anything just you were able to be a hero be a hero you you're experiencing something that no man gets to

experience that's beautiful you're a hero that's the reward yeah and don't keep the sugar in the house i think uh honestly yeah i i i i think i agree yeah uh because i honestly i think yes a new skateboard would be nice for free skateboard you know surfboard what i say skateboard okay yeah Ice skates would be great, but I think that say five years from now, if you think back on that moment and the rest of your life from that point on, you will be much happier with yourself and the memory of your heroics if you were like, no, you get me nothing. I did the thing that a man would do in that scenario. And it's over. And thank you. That is a beautiful offer. but but I simply I don't I simply check this out I simply don't agree with you what do you mean we were saying the same

thing we aren't we aren't what what you're saying is he'll be happier if he doesn't do it what I'm saying is there is no happiness with this you are a hero you you you are bestowed upon by the circumstances to be a hero and shouldn't you be happy about that is not it's not about you you saved someone's life and that's it if i fucking save someone's life dude and their family tried to hand me anything i would fucking kill them i mean dude i do not if i save someone from falling from drowning from fire from lava and their family comes up to me and is like we'd love to go to living spaces and get you you know five hundred dollars worth of anything that family is as good as dead I throw them in the volcano.

Okay. Because there's no fucking, dude. Oh, are you thinking I want happiness? I got the chance to be a hero. But isn't that? You could take someone I love deeply, maybe to living spaces, but not me. Or I'll kill you. So twisted up upstairs, you know?

Yeah, I don't know. I saved your, I saved your daughter's life. Yeah. Oh my gosh, kid. How can we repay you? Ha ha ha ha. Just so the, if you read that as a news story, be so perplexed you know i would never do that i'm doing it for i'm just doing it because i get to be

hero yeah well uh yeah i think what i think he thinks what he thinks either way the the the result is the same just move on dude you're a hero you're a king you get to be that forever you get to have that memory forever you get to be that in their minds forever like uh-huh but besides that it's all great i would never want anyone to know if i was a hero i mean if i was a hero and i saved someone's life i would fucking i'm telling you mum's a word dude i wouldn't why what is this anyone what is this because i don't do it for that and if you find out i'm a hero i'll fucking murder i'll coax you up to the top floor of a building and nudge you off because dude uh i would never tell anyone i'm a hero now have i ever saved someone's life i'm not gonna answer that okay

well i mean based on what you're saying i would assume you would answer with that uh I'm not going to say so, but... Right. Because why? Because you're being crazy aggressive about being a guy who, if you were a hero, you would never utter it to a single soul. So if I was a hero, if I saved one or multiple people's lives in one time or multiple times, I wouldn't say it? That's what you're saying. So, yes, I'm...

Right, and I'm not saying it. Okay. That's what I'm saying. So confused. Okay. And I'm not saying it. Making it confusing. So you don't know for sure.

if I have or not. That's true, yeah. You're making it more and more confusing, though. It made perfect sense. Yeah. Just right. Okay. For sure.

I'm just saying, what's the likelihood you think I probably save someone's life? Zero. I mean. No, no, no, that's, I take that back. Like, five to ten percent maybe. That's a little better, but really? I'm not going to admit I did if I did, but you don't want to make that higher? I think that the likelihood of someone being in that position.

of me. No, not because of you. Because I'm not, because they weren't around or something? No, because just fucking anybody. I'm talking about odds in general. All right, all right. The odds of being in a situation to save someone's life. Yeah.

Like, I remember one time I, I was meeting up my buddy and literally he had like five, ten minutes into the hang. He had blood, I noticed he had blood all over his shoes. And I was like, bro, what happened? I thought of it was his blood. And he was like, ah, yeah, before you got here. there was this car crash out front and like this woman

was trapped under her car and I had to like lift the car and like get to open the door and I was like Wendy's most important deal of the day has a fresh lineup. Pick any two breakfast items for $4. New four piece French toast sticks, bacon

or sausage wrap, biscuit or English muffin sandwiches, small hot coffee and more. Limited time only at participating Wendy's taxes extra. What? He was so chill about it. Right. But you wouldn't have done that. Now, now, if that was me, I wouldn't tell the audience that that was me right now. What if I said...

What would you say if they asked about your blood? That's what I'm saying. I'd be like, uh, I don't know. What blood? Yeah. I mean, you're crazy. No, I'd be like, oh, my feet are bleeding. Kill someone.

You just seeming like a criminal. Seeming like an absolute criminal. My feet are just bleed sometimes because I'm on the outside of the shoe. But if I save someone's life, I would never tell you just to let you know. Anyway, let's go get coffee. That's what would be, that would be me. I was late, so I believe, I mean, there was an accident and everything. It was, I could see where the accident was, it was crazy.

I couldn't believe how chilly he was being. I was like, dude, what do you mean? Uh-huh. He was like, yeah, no, I did, I did that. Yeah. Well, don't say who it was. It was John Shara. It was?

Yeah. Dude, yeah. We were really young, too. Well, he's also. How he was so strong. Yeah. Like, he was like, he's like, but it was that thing where like, you had super human strength in like those moments, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I'm just saying if, if. somebody was in trouble and I was around, what is the percentage you think I would try to help them? Oh, well, I guess 100. Oh, okay. I mean, if somebody was in trouble and you were the, especially if you're the only person there to help them.

Right. I would imagine. You don't think I just watch them drown like this? That's in a movie Under the Skin. Man, I saw that a long time ago. I've got to. Really upsetting scene. I've got to see that.

movie again. Because I saw that movie, I thought it was okay. And now I hear how amazing it is. People love it. So I got to watch it again. I must have been in a mood or something. It's glazer. It's the same guy. I know. Relax me. I know. Okay. The German one he did. What is it called? The new one? Yeah. Oh. Zone of interest. That is a fucking masterpiece. That is I'm shocked that you don't love that movie. Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why I have to rewatch it. I mean, he went from sexy. Sexy Beast was his first. Yeah, I know. Zone of Interest. Zone of Interest. And is a masterpiece. Yeah, I completely agree. Oh, the end scene, I, that is one for the books, dude. Reminds me of a, that documentary, uh, Airblood. Or what? What are you talking about? No, active violence.

Yeah, dude. Well, yes, those two, that ending is the most harrowing ending I've ever seen in my life. That is one of the, oh, my God, the fucking zone of interest? Best documentary ever. Best documentary ever, yeah. Right, yeah. Have you guys ever seen birth? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that's him too, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's good. I like, I mean, I think he's good. Yeah, it is good. No, he's great.

Just a really great filmmaker just all around, yeah. Yeah. Weird Oscar speech, but what are you going to do, you know? Oh, I didn't hear it. Like, that's all political. Oh, yeah, because it was about the German, it was about Gaza and Jews and, you know, whatever. Just like, win your Oscar, man.

Yeah, no, I know, I know, I know, I know. Win your award, stop, you know? Yeah, I just actors are, no, not, not, not, not that he's an actor, but like, when actors get up there and do that shit, you're just like, but you're an idiot. You're, yeah, you know. Right, yeah. I mean, I don't think Glazers is any, but I agree.

No, no, Glazer is obviously very smart, but like, ah, but dude, you're a fucking, oh, dude, but you played a fucking, you know. Also, all you're doing. You played an archaeologist or whatever the fuck. Right. All you're doing is just saying what you think. Who gives a fuck? You're one guy. You are changing no one's mind.

You are changing no one's mind. It's just signaling and it's annoying. What can you imagine if one of those? somebody won an Oscar We need to get these immigrants out Trump 24, whatever. That would be, do you think they work even now? Do you think that they probably get like ostracized?

No, dude, I don't know. Vince Vaughn had the whole photo op thing with him. I don't know. I know, but that's different than doing it at an award show. Oh, oh, you're saying if you went up, oh, okay, right. Then they would get booed. Yeah, Hollywood, yeah. Yeah, but also if, but if they did the opposite and said, you know, we got to stop.

Yeah, then they get cheered. Absolutely. So I guess my thing is, because, remember, because Scott, was a Scott Bayo? Yeah, Scott Bayo. He got, he, he was like one of the first guys for Trump that was like out there. Never worked since then, got death threats. Well, he also hadn't worked since.

No, he would, he would work. He would do some stuff. Bayo? Yeah. Yeah. He would direct stuff. They know. I don't know.

No. But maybe. Maybe, I mean, I don't know, honestly. I don't know. he just i remember that rnc in 2016 it was like sabato junior who follows my on instagram thank i fucking nice dude let's go bro handsome is all get out yeah still he's even still yeah he got on let's oh i'll be 5-7 that's unfair if he's tall he's tall he's a big dude he's a big dude he's yoked up well still handsome yeah he's got to be old what's up man he's got he's definitely his 50s

yeah well yeah but yeah dude you know i mean that was weird but yeah I mean, you got death threats to Capoeia? That's what he said. I mean, I believe that, but that sucks. Yeah, no, I'm sure he did. I found it odd. Well, you know what? Is it a good example?

What about Zachary Levi? Because he was really working a lot. Does he work anymore? Why? Was he for Trump? Oh, yeah, big, loud. Oh, really? Yeah.

Since when? In, like, his run-up to his election. You know who it didn't affect at all? Is Dennis Quaid? Yeah, weird, huh? But, um... But, um... But, um...

But, hold on. Zachary Levi is the guy from... Oh, that guy. I was thinking of... Oh, I know him. Fuck, what I'm talking about? He was in that superhero movie. Yes.

Shazam. Yeah. Which is recent. What's he done? I FaceTime with him once. That's hilarious. That is amazing. Oh, okay.

So, yeah, now he's in the Harold and the Purple Crayon. Yeah, and by the way, that did really... That's doing really well. And, um... Are you being serious? No, yeah. And people were like really wishing it was going to bomb because of him doing what... So the point is he's still...

this they were trying to take this movie tread this movie before it came out because of all that so then it came out so I don't know if now he's doing stuff he might be he might be I guess I guess he's still I guess scroll down yeah go to filmography

keep going just go all the way to the bottom uh yeah it hasn't really hasn't really stopped his career yeah i don't know what those things are but i don't know what any new movies are right right right right unless it's fucking yeah yeah but shazam was a huge but they made it they made a sequel to shazam didn't they i don't know oh yeah fury of the gods and he's in it so weird and it was i guess it was a big hit is he in it yeah he's the shazam again yeah it was bad though i don't think it was a big hit the first one i don't think so i don't think it was a big hit but oh it's a dc thing it's a whole thing

it's like a big big right oh Oh. Weird. I'm so confused. Anyway. Anyway, let's do one more before we stop. Okay. Hey guys, two questions real quick. I broke my wrist about a week ago.

So I've been out of work and really bored. I've been watching Kevin Costner movies in Hell's Kitchen. But if you guys have any movies or TV shows that you've watched recently that you could recommend to kill some time, that would be great. Second, the main question is I work in the bakery. I work at like a retail store and um so I'm lifting 50 pound bags all the time but now I have a weight limit of one pound and I keep trying to come back to work I've been like bugging them and shit and they're acting super sketchy like managers I thought were you know homies are acting really weird and like I understand they probably don't want a lawsuit or like me hurting myself at work but um I got two to I don't know I got two to three more weeks of paid disability which is cool but I don't want that because I'm fucking bored

so should I try to just like enjoy the time that I have with the paid disability or should I keep pressing them to try to come back to work because I can mustard turkey sandwich should I come back and like try to fold clothes

because that's what I what I can do right now or check receipts at the door you want to work so bad yeah they're acting really weird so if you guys have any advice on that i would try to i would try to force yourself to just relax yeah also i think that they're probably if they're acting sketchy or whatever word you used i i think it's because they're probably like like yeah you just need like you need to you need to stop yeah trying to do this

like you're getting paid disability that is literally everyone's dream to be a loaf on your couch watching the sopranos from you know the episode one to the very end. Like, like, that's a, a lot of people in your situation, obviously a broken wrist sucks. I've broken my wrist. But like, you're getting paid disability. You're lucky in that sense. They're definitely going to have you back when you're healthy. Like, just you have to learn how to be bored a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that's the thing is that there's a deeper thing here where you have to learn how to sit still. But I will say about the shows, I'm so tired of starting shows.

and, uh, they're good and they just fall fucking apart, dude. That's like, it's like the era of the show falling apart right now because... TV's in trouble right now, yeah. Well, well, not just TV, but like the... But TV wasn't in trouble forever. No, no, it was a golden age. Yeah, exactly. But I mean, dude, it's like, you watch a show called Hostage on Netflix.

You know, the first episode and second episode, you know, it's like, all right, this is cool. And then there's five episodes. By the fifth episode, you're like, I can't wait, I don't want to... I guess I won't quit because there's one more episode but like, this sucks. Yeah.

Dude, it's just like nothing make, it's so hard to keep his story so tightly wound and make sense, dude, but they just don't do it. But this is their job, dude. It's their job.

It's weird. This flood of content that we're experiencing now for many years, I would say. It's not new, but it's more and more and more all the time.

It's almost like people are, or I think networks are getting more, and streamers are getting more and more afraid. It's a really weird era right now where they're not really taking certain kinds of risks anymore. And the stuff that ends up getting on air

is really, really, like, well-worn territory that is just, I don't want to say not good, but just so overdone so many times that I think it's like led to this glut of just similar, garbage. Well, bro, Netflix has a thing where you can watch it twice as fast. That's so weird,

though. It's one of the, one of my least word things about all streaming platforms is specifically what you just said. I can't believe that that's a thing. Thank God. Well, it's just so weird that that's an option. It's like people just want to get the content in. Yeah. I know. It's beyond bonkers to me. I just want the story. I just want the information of the fake thing these guys made up. Like, no chill watch the thing watch how they meant to design it and make it and see what if it

if you don't like it then turn it off don't speed it up like it's weird anyway my recommendation to you if you have a lot of time and you know you're looking to kill two three weeks it will always be the same exact thing

and that is even if you've already seen it start the soprano from episode one all the way through it is the greatest single thing ever made on television and will never not be the greatest thing ever made on television you never know I feel like I do know this though because I say this because it was just you just watch it recently or something no I didn't actually but just the right time and place for television for a certain kind of show to break through and it did and it was just absolutely perfect and it only

gets better. It only gets better and it keeps getting better and it's mind-boggling how it just keeps getting better. A lot of people I know, not a lot, there are people I know that are like, nah, no, the first season is the best season. And I'm like, dude, you're out of your mind. It's so simplistic compared

to like season four through six. It's like, that shit is like so epic, dude. To me it's the greatest, by far the greatest. And I like a lot of shows. But that is like just on an island, on itself. I just can't believe how good

it is. Okay. But that's my thing. What about you? I mean, what would you recommend? I would say the best, the best, the most impressive best show, to me is Breaking Bad, but... But I'm saying, as a wreck to him. Is that what you would wreck to him then? Oh, oh, no, watch the British office. That's fucking hilarious. You'll be done with that in afternoon, yeah. You'd get through that

real quick, yeah. True. Uh, lost. There you go. That's a fun one. That's a fun one. That's a fun one, yeah. 24 is a good one, too. Loss is good because it's so long and there's so many episodes but yes and it's so much like mystery and a lot yeah it's one of my favorite shows and I know it makes no sense a lot of the time but anyway uh all right cool go see me at chrysleya.com I'm coming to your city
