Uh, who's Madeline Klein? She's an influencer, I think. Something like that. I mean, why do I even ask? If it's somebody I don't know, it's, yeah,

Christmas. Isn't that crazy again, huh? Yeah. So many Christmases. Every year. I was watching the Santa Claus. The Tim Allen room? Yeah. Mm-hmm. I just, let me stop you for one second. Okay. Tim Allen is in a movie called Christmas with the cranks. Yeah. And it was a big movie. Tool.

Yeah, they made a sequel. Yeah. They made a sequel. Okay. And he was a crank dealer for real. He dealt crack. Well, yeah, but not crank. What's crank?

Isn't crank just another term for crack? Oh, I don't know about that. Hold on. Is it? Yeah. Crank. Revealing myself. is a crackhead right now, you know?

Crank is meth. Oh, oh, really? Oh, okay. Well, anyway, he was a known drug dealer and user. Don't include in the title another kind of drug that the guy who's known for using and dealing drugs is the star of it, right? Christmas with the heroines. Basically, yeah, Christmas with the crackheads.

Christmas with the cocaine. Isn't that their family name in the movie? That's my point. Yes. But you can change it because of writing. Yes. Yeah. Christmas with the cranks.

Oh, no. Well, what if they shot the movie and then he got caught? No, he didn't. But he was known as in the 80s. Yes, exactly, yeah. Oh, I see. Yeah, no, no. Oh, yeah, no.

This is not like later Charlie Sheen stuff. This is like when it's stand-up days, he would like talk about it. Yeah. Christmas with the ecstasy pills. Christmas with the MDMAs. Just going to do every drug. Anyway, yeah, obviously subscribe to our Patreon. Patreon.

best movie i think yeah oh you know what before the show we were talking about how speaking of 90s movies you very incorrect think John Travolta is bad in face-off. I actually... That's like... Yeah. I can't imagine thinking something more diametrically opposed to that. Like, the complete inverse of that is what I think.

How could... What is bad about him in face-off? I mean, he's indicating the whole time. Okay, Stanislovsky. But like, are you, are you not entertained? I am entertained because of Nicholas Cage in the movie. And not John Travolge is like, eyes off. Who cares?

To me, I'm like, this is annoying. Yeah. Even when he goes, ooh, we. That especially when he does that. You a good look. Yes. When he does that, especially, it's cringy. No, dude, your hat is the best thing there's ever been on camera.

It's not cringy when Nicholas Cage does it. It is cringy when John Travolta does it, I think. They're both equally great in it. And that's why the movie's great. Yeah, I just, it's not my stuff. I don't get it, dude. I just, I'll never, I'll never understand you and the Travolta thing, dude. He's not good.

It's so crazy to say that. He's good in Pulp Fiction. That's it. He's been in some things, maybe. Look who's talking? No, no, no, no. But, dude, I mean, I'd have to watch it. He's got range, dude.

He could do the comedy. He could do the big, broad comedy. He could do the Tarantino thing. He could be face-off. I mean, Pulp Fiction is not, it could be a comedy, but it's a crime movie. I mean, there's funny stuff He doesn't have Saying he has range

Is not really that accurate I don't know, dude You ever seen Urban Cowboy? You ever seen The OJ Simpson trial? Don't even talk about that He's terrible in it So good in it

All right The only thing he's kind of bad in Is two things One is Michael The other one is phenomenon He's terrible in the OJ thing He's amazing in the OJ thing All right, then you're just opinion

on Junckerbolt is just crazy Crazy You know I don't know what you call it, murky, crazy. Okay, but if you isolate it to just face off, no one can agree with you because it's not possible. If I isolated to face off, I go like this, oh, that's cringe.

He goes, hat! It's just like, oh, God. How is it cringe, dude? To me it is. Okay, but you're wrong, and that's okay. Ah, you know, it's fine to be wrong. You know, it's just, you know, it's better to, when you're wrong to admit that you're wrong. Nicholas Cage is funny and, you know, charismatic.

John Travolta is just. funny and charismatic no yeah no yeah more whatever anyway all right I mean we can drop it if you want I just don't I don't mind not talking about it just double negative it doesn't you mean you mind talking about no I mean I don't mind not talking about it is minding talking about it I don't mind not talking about it I don't mind talking about it you want to keep talking about it we can okay I don't mind not talking about it though that's but you don't mind not talking about it means you don't want to talk about it that's what a double negative is technically mean that it does because it has a different flavor but i it doesn't i don't i don't mind

it if you don't want to english professor back to no corner english professor back to no corner if you don't want to talk about it i'm fine with that but that doesn't mean i don't want to talk about it okay that's different but that is different no it's not though it's really not it's really not i don't I don't mind not talking about it, meaning I'm cool with it. I don't mind talking about it. Let me just give me a second. Give me a second. I don't mind not talking about it.

You're thinking about if I say I don't mind talking about it. That means I'm here either way. Yeah, yeah. So if I don't not mind talking about it, then that means also either way. I don't mind not talking about it. Right. I don't mind that if you don't want to. Don't do it for me.

But here's this. A double negative would imply I do, taking out both negatives, I do my, I do my, talking about it and that's just the simple that's just the way it is i'm yeah i just i don't mind not talking about it if that's fine with you but i can talk about it and i don't mind talking about it no no it's all right let's talk about your legs pervy in italian perv uh essay dude i uh i'm wearing this because you always talk about working out so i decided to wear like a work not why you're wearing it yeah it is you know who i saw wearing this the first time and i just I started. I needed it. Brian Bosworth.

Wait, who's that? The football player turned actor from the 80s. Oh, yeah. Is action movies? Oh, yeah. Is that him on there? No, no, no. This is, he was wearing it in a movie. I know, but that's like him on there? No, no, no. Wait, so how did you find that? You know how it is. I mean, dude, you know, I wouldn't ask that if I did. But you know how it is with me. So you found it? So basically the way we're, what, mail delivery? What's going on here? So we found it? Um, Matt is cool, the, yeah, we know.

Um, you know, and, uh, for a guy with a pussy. Oh, God. Um, the, I saw it on him. Yeah. And I, you, I looked up body alive, body alive on. That's how I know. Body alive vintage, whatever sweatshirt. His was white with purple. So it's not that. His was like yours. Oh, I got to get that. Like the inverse color-wise. So you saw it. And I thought that, I mean, obviously, on his body, it's like completely different than there's a mind.

Yeah. It's like, it's kind of like showing his midriff, you know what I mean? Yeah. And he's like yokey-doodle dandied. Bring up what it might be? Pull up Brian Bosworth, yeah. Let's see. Is that an extra large?

Well, I want to fit me. Should you give it to me? I don't know. Should you give it to me? I mean, you do work out a lot and your body's alive. I mean, so is my body alive technically. Yeah, it's an XL, but it's old. so it might be small.

So the era would be the one in the 55 right there. Well, what I want to do is not look up Brian Bosworth, but what I'd like to look up is that sweater. Okay, so look up Body Alive, vintage sweatshirt shirt. Yeah, he was a cool dude, though, right? He's handsome when he's older, too. Look at them. Images.

Yeah. They're showing up, yeah. Any of them. Look at the blue one here. Blue one. Blue ones, that would look good on you. What size is it? That looks a little smaller than mine.

It looks small, but you want. midriff out because you got no i don't you're all you're all mr workout no i don't i don't oh wait go to okay so go to the man that's a cool brand it is yeah go to the top on the that one the yep uh no body buy body i like that actually but it's not it no it's not it's not it the one next to it might be that ain't it dog oh what is that oh that's just an arnold thing not get out of here with that shit okay well anyway that's the best one body oh there they go there it is there that's what we want that is a what size is that that's so small that's a medium fucking wear it and just kill it with the

fucking muscles popping the fuck out dude how much is it 100 oh my wow 100 people ain't messing around that looks really nice though yeah and that's how you find it that's how you get it that's how I got mine okay found that one got lucky did you give that to me no all right Oh, now it's only 70. It went down 30 bucks. It might be worth it. All right. No, not for me.

So. All right. Because it would be, I would be, I would look too big in it because there would be small. Then you'd look yoked at the gym now. That is true. You know? Do I need to be? You get more people coming up to you like they did last week.

You're telling them about. True. Yeah, true. All right. Well, why don't we start with a submission? Okay. We'll go from there. Yeah.

Hi, Chris and Matt. My name's Ben. A long time listener, first time submitter. Nice. I wrote down my question. So I'll try to be as. quick as possible. Cool. I'm a full-time actor, but my question is about careers as a creative person like both of you are. I usually brand myself as a writer, actor, and musician,

simply because no one thing feels the most true. So like I said, I perform full-time. That's what's gotten me paid. I do mostly regional theater. I work often on cruise ships, but I'm motivated and really inspired by literally everything. I always have been. Because of that, at 27 now, I'm a decent playwright. I'm a decent performer. I'm a decent musician. I'm a decent musician. But when I look to my idols, though, they're extremely specialized and practiced at their craft. Of course, people are complicated. We all do a lot of different stuff, but these folks at the top of their fields seem to do one thing at an outlier level. Do you think, as creatives who have experienced in a lot of different fields, writing, acting comedy, do you think there's

something to the idea of picking one thing in pursuing it? Or do you think you can still rise to the top of something when you're trying to conquer multiple disciplines? I hope that all makes sense. Thank you so much great content, my wife, and I really love it. We're grateful for it. Thanks, dude. No, that made complete sense. It's a great question

and the way he said it was succinct. Great submission, Ben. I wanted to make sure he knew I remembered his name, so I keep saying, Ben. Okay. You want to go or you want me to go? I mean, I don't think there's an answer, really. I will lead with this.

First of all, I think we live in an era of such specialization in general that I think something that I greatly value which is the term is generalist meaning someone who knows a little bit or a good amount about a lot of things but is an expert at nothing. And you like that?

I think that's an important thing in society that we are running low on now because everybody's so specialized so driven to the one thing they really want to do and they go down that course and then they're like... You thought that before? I thought what?

What you're saying? Yes, I've thought about this a lot, yeah. So, but that's not really what you're asking. I'm kind of twisting it in my own thing, but like, I don't think you need to focus your energy on one thing, especially if you really do feel like you are equally interested in all of them. Yeah. You will go down, you will arbitrarily choose one path that based on made up reasons

or even actual reasons, that it seems like the easiest path to get down. but everything is anecdotal down to the personal level. Like what works on the whole for most people, there's no guarantee that it's going to work for you, better than it would for somebody else. Like you either do them all because you love them all or one emerges as either the moneymaker or the time consumer or the one you love the most.

But you don't drop something you love just because you love a lot things you literally did this one of the things you just do what you want i think what you're missing too is how rare and lucky you are most people don't even like one thing true and you like too many things that's the the better version of the problem i guess what i'd ask is what is his worry no no i get his worry his worry he was talking about in the middle it's like i want to be musician. I want to be an actor. I'm going to be a writer. I think I'm whatever. I don't know if he said adequate. I forget the word. He said he think decent. Decent. Whatever. He's at that level. If he dropped the other two and focused on the one, would he become an expert musician? Would he

become an expert actor, writer, whatever? Yeah, but so, so because he'd want that, I guess. It seems like he's happy. That's my, but that's my thing. It's like, what do you, you're worried? Oh, dang. So if you do drop two and you are one and then you focus on one and then you become exceptional at that one, are you happy? I don't, like I said, I don't, I think he's thinking about it in terms of career path, not about life happiness, right? But that's how he should be thinking about it. Sure, sure, but you need to make money.

Well, he does make money in the world. He clearly does. Yeah. But I think he's thinking, whatever, he's 30 now. Yeah, yeah, he's going to be 51 day, 27, remember his age and his name he said 27 wow good for him uh and uh i he something he said also that stood out to me was that he looks back at his his his either his his heroes or other success stories and they've been driven at that one thing for so long and

they're such that's the all anecdotal thing that you're talking about yeah that is like misleading you can't use that as because that is that is not even necessarily true yeah and the narrative that they've spun once they've made it is definitely not true. 100%. They are fucking lying. Yeah. And they,

just like anything else, they're telling you a story. Yeah. Now, I'm not calling them liars. I am. They're both-faced liars. Okay.

Chris is. Everyone except Bo Jackson. He did everything. He actually did. Dionne Sanders, I know. Coach Prime. That's him now.

Oh, wow. Yeah, but yeah, anyway. I think unless one emerges, you don't drop. You don't drop. Because once you start dropping them arbitrarily, it's like, why did I drop that? Yeah, that's, yeah, I agree with you, dude. You do what you want until it feels right and natural.

And then if one excels and you're happy with that, then just keep doing that one. Keep riding that horse. Yeah, yeah, you keep riding that horse, you know. And keep the other horses in their stable and they'll be there when you need them. You want to get on that other horse. You get on that horse. You put the horse you're on in the stable safely. You saddle it up.

You take off the saddle. You saddle the new one up. You get on that saddle. You ride that horse. You ride it. You ride it. You ride it. it until going so far with the analogy until you're done with that one then you take that horse

back to this far into the horse analogy and maybe it's a stallion maybe it's a Mustang maybe it's a Clydesdale maybe it's a Clydesdale you don't even realize it but uh you're on a big horse and it's a Clydesdale and it's the third one and that's the one that leads you to the promised land you don't know don't drop any of them until they are asking to be dropped it's like that's saying don't drop any of your horses yep I love that country song Don't drop any of your horses. You might want to be riding all your horses. You may not want to drive one the whole way the rest of your life brown.

I mean, I just should have not. I shouldn't have said it, you know. Yeah. I really should have known better. If you got a horse that you like the best then okay, but if you like three horses, just take turns riding them. that's the best one you ever made up just off the cuff yeah because I'm kind of into it the metaphor of it yeah well you made the metaphor yeah so I'm linked to it I'm talking about career right on your horse the one you like the most also don't get rid of your other horses if you like them I'm talking about career pop it down my friend now that now that now If that was country music, I would be all up in it.

Sure, yeah, yeah. I get it. I get it, yeah. I think music will be that eventually. No, you're dumb. You're dead wrong. When you say like that, what do you mean? So blisteringly specific and against even phonetically sounding good that they, that it'll be that.

Like that sentence? Yeah. Okay. Well, no, like that, yeah. um so it's already kind of getting there hip hop's getting there for sure and they pave the way but his country i feel the country's still so vague but hip hop paves the way for all music every music becomes hip hop hip hopized like like do you believe this about like taylor swift and sabrina carpenter yeah yeah yeah all right yeah i mean you know country is becoming that way i mean

yeah i guess you're you're kind of right yeah i just think in classic country how much it sucks i don't mean old country i mean classic now country it's like it just sucks me balls man irish you know i mean it just gropes me balls you know irish per it just puts me balls right in a vice and goes squeeze irish tie him off you ha ha ha ha ha ha ha um put me balls in a vice harr pirate put me lock the plank made he and put my balls in a vice horror the worst ship captain walk the plank and put me balls in a vice. Walk the plank and put me balls in a vice and get a paper cut.

Ar, walk the plank and put me balls in a vice, get a paper cut, and also have me wife get mad at me for certain things, even though I didn't do them. The first mate's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you guys get that? What does he say? So nervous, you know. Help me out. Call his wife.

All right. All right. Yeah, okay. Well, I guess we could do another one. Yeah, let's move on. Oh, and the jackpots. Oh, and the jackpots? Dude, Legends has site-wide jackpots.

What does that mean? That means everybody's feeding into the same pot across all of the games. So when it hits, it hits. It hits. It's like the whole internet just decided, yeah, let's make one person. Day insane? Yeah. And if you're new, Legends

and complains that the guy across the street is parking essentially right in five of his Hermit, the way his voice sounds. And you guys missed the mark so hard on the advice. Pause it, pause it, pause, pause, pause,

pause, pause, pause. Dick Kermit. And you guys miss the marks so hard that I can't even believe it. It's not easy being wrong. I wanted to say, stop making fun of him because it's mean, but

he just shit on us. Yeah, and I knew it. I had the energy. You did, yeah. You guys are missing the mark so much. Yeah. It's not easy being fucking idiots. All right, so I'm watching the episode where the guy calls in and complains that the guy across the street is parking essentially right in front

of his house. And you guys missed the mark so hard on the advice. So easy. Let's see what's... Shut the fuck up. From his other guy's house. And then when he comes up and goes, hey man, like, what's going on? You're parking in front of my house?

Oh, you don't like that? You don't like that. Oh, he's so easy. He got so easy. Problem solved. You know what? He got so much less Kermitie when he did it too. Yeah.

And you know why? Because... He's playing a role. He, you know, he was giving us shit. It's not the real him, dude. The real him is. Ah, okay. He likes us.

Yeah. The real him is he's... It came out. And I understand. He also. that's that's good advice I wish we said I think he's right

I think he's right we fucked it up yeah it's not easy being right yeah yeah I think that I remember that submission though

oh yeah mainly being funny about it because it was so ridiculous my advice was to be super confrontational and your advice was to be like

something ridiculous so we were being funny though so so it's all good we probably would have gotten if we really thought about it if I really

put my brain on it i would have gotten there before you kermit but uh it's all good that was a lay up for you kermit you have good um you have good advice sometimes i mostly try to just be silly but uh i just thought about kermit's always naked that's kind of weird huh just a fucking frog yeah they're all naked man frogs big bird no yes but big bird uh all the oh no big bird has a necklace he's got a little orange thing around his neck that for no fucking reason that's that's that's naked man i got a dress like that dude if i took off my all my clothes except this would i not be naked no big bird does not have a necklace also yeah what are you talking about him around his fucking like a bow i don't know what you're thinking no not a marge simpson probably no i'm not

thinking of marge simpson because they're so similar no not because they're so similar but that she has an orange thing around her neck oh what the fuck dude this is the mandela effect uh huh all right look at marge simpson's his legs it's his legs it's not marge big bird is it's not the mandela effect if you just warrard is so scary dude go. Yeah, no, that's not what I was thinking. Go back to Big Bird real quick. Just for a second. Any of them. Big Bird. That is so scary. It's actually terrifying. How is it for kids? That is, that is so scary. How is this for kids? Ronna McDonald, how is he for kids? So scary. That's

particularly, that's, this is just like rollerblading. The stuff of actual nightmares. Yeah. and he's the most popular character on the most popular kids show of all time absolutely terrifying is big bird a man a man well look no it's a bird is it male oh that yeah yeah yeah i think so yeah i think big bird's male yeah yeah he's a guy i'm a chill guy big bird dude didn't even try to name him okay big bird is officially a boy male okay okay Yeah, yeah. A sweet curious six-and-a-half-year-old yellow bird who went out of the phone. He's six and a half?

Well, he's a bird. Yeah, but he's so knowledgeable. In a bird years, he's probably like, you know, 42. Six-year-old bird is no way less than six-year-old adults. Right, but in the, yeah, he's always like, hey, how the fucks a bird even know that? Dude, you want, no, you're not going to like this. Oh, God. I was going to tell you about birds.

What? And how smart they are and how we don't understand them at all. Dude. Why? Why what? We don't understand any animals, dude. That's not true at all. You know what? We understand many animals so well. Now, that's a thing that I, one of those things that I, I, it's very hard for me to believe. That's one of those things. We talked about last episode, remember? Confronted with facts. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? Oh, that's why a fucking, you know, condor does that. Oh, yeah? All right, cool. How the fuck do you know? But here's the thing. Except, just, Take this at face value. I'm not trying to be a fucking asshole. Okay. Fuck you. The reason that's how you feel is because you don't know enough about how they know.

Does that make sense? Yes. Okay. I have never been more disrespected in my life. I mean, I disagree. I think I've done it more on this show. So many different levels because I know that. obviously, but then also to even lay it out like that is the most disrespectful thing I've

ever heard of my life. That's why I prefaced. Yeah, I didn't want to be. That was making more. That did make it worse in retrospect. In retrospect, it makes it way worse. It does. I was trying to soften the landing and I made it like crash.

You basically said, so here's why you're an idiot. Yeah. Ultimately, here's why you're an idiot and then this is why you, this step by step up. Yeah, yeah, let me break down why you're an idiot. Yeah. So, yeah, I understand that. But, but that's another thing. But you look at it from the.

I get what you're saying. Okay, go ahead, go ahead. But that's another thing that I don't necessarily believe. Oh, I'm just going to take this fucking Birdwatcher's word for it. I'm just going to take this person

who is just, oh, so he's in charge of the most, he knows the most about leopards. So, okay, how the fuck do I know that? He went to leopard school, okay? Well, that's not how you would know that. Leopard University. That's also not how you're saying he went to Leopard State University.

That's not what I'm saying. Leopard State University. Wow, LSU. The LSU leopards. Don't even really know how to contend with this, but I'll try. Because it's not necessarily true. But I'll try. Okay.

Somebody, I mean, to stick with birds or, what do you want? Pick an animal. Leopards. Leopards. Okay. So somebody studies, an ethologist studies in the field. They go out into the world and they watch how animals behave, right? Yeah.

other kinds of scientists I'm with you zoologists I'm with you they open animals and see what's inside them I get it and examine them from

the inside out right so we can learn about animals both ways based on their behavior and based on their in some cases even neurology right sure I agree so well then if you agree then where are you getting caught up

about why I'm getting caught up is so you're telling me that a fucking peacock dances around and shows its wings because of we know why we do and that is the most the clearest yes yes and yeah exactly but we don't actually know what's going on in the peacock's bind though of course not but we know what the behavior is what it's for what is doing dude birds of prey a peacock might be showing his wings because he's like yeah i want to show off to the fellas why do these fucking women keep coming up to me no you don't know no you do you do know that because if that were the case it's so annoying i just

Natural selection would have selected for the one that gets all the dudes to come in. But how? They don't procreate. They don't procreate. You can't do, if the, if peacocks are gay and they're fucking each other, no more peacocks. Right. Which is what peacocks genuinely want. That's what women want when they go out to the clubs. You're like, I just want to dance. I don't want fucking guys to be rubbing their dicks up on my ass. But no scientist in their right mind. And we know that because we can say that to us. Would say, a bird wants X. they would say the behavior of the bird indicates that it behaves this way because of this.

I don't think that that's accurate. They do say that. You think... The reason why a chameleon does this is because of this. They do that all the time. That's different.

That's not them saying that's not adding desire into the equation. Want. Want implies like way more brain space than fucking just ought to the,

I mean, most, Animals just operate simply out of, like, their DNA is propelling them to procreate. That's it. That's it. So what do you think about humans then? We have a prefrontal cortex where no other animals do besides fucking the great apes. So we make decisions based on, you know, what's right and wrong and shit.

Yeah, we have things like anxiety and depression, and we can make plans and we can think about motor skills in a certain way. That's why zebras don't get ulcers. Okay. Isn't that a title of something? Yeah. yeah i i know my evolutionary biology no i understand but i mean like you just you i get what you mean it's like crazy yeah but like it the the amount a shit literature that's out there the shit we know is amazing here's what's even more amazing the shit we still don't have any

fucking clue well no i know but that yeah i know you know you know i mean yeah like the the fact that there's what what what percentage of the earth is is ocean oh i Something crazy. Yeah, it's like, dude, and then we know what percentage of the ocean? Right, right, right, right, right, yeah. Fucking. Did you see that clip? I mean, I don't want to play now.

There's this funny, funny, funny fucking clip of this congressman being chased down the street by interviewers. Uh-huh. I don't know where he's from, just some random congressman. 70% ocean, wow. And he's talking about UFOs. How much did the percent? What percent of the ocean is being explored? And he's like talking very calmly about how.

there are UFOs under the ocean floor yeah and you know like that's where they really are that's where they really come from and it's just like oh you're an elected official dude like oh wow you're speaking out of your asshole yeah that's so weird he's not like maybe there's some stuff down there he's like the aliens are down to me that's like when somebody says something about a leopard but okay um well that's just absolute ignorance uninformed assholery look Look, direct observation less than 0.001%. That's nuts.

High resolution sea floor. I mean, even 27% is nuts though. Yeah. That's nothing. Yeah. That's high resolution. It's because it gets so dark, dude.

You can't see shit down there. So there's definitely species and stuff that we don't know about. Oh, 100,000%. We've just found a new one recently, actually. Yeah. all the time they find new ones really yeah really in the ocean yes look at the the newest sea creature discovery that's what it is yeah a and 66 new species of an ocean look at that fucking when in one year 800 Jesus that thing's cute as fuck I'll probably kill you

I don't I don't this is the thing the scariest thing is the angler they're all versions of each other look up the angler I want like a fucking you know like some kind of Well, how about this then? A shark in a tuxedo. Like, oh, this is it. It's the fucking banquet shark. You know what I mean? Go to that first one.

Sorry, sorry. But this is, you know, the, yeah, yeah, this is, right? It has a light on its head. Yeah, it's crazy, right. Okay? Yeah. And the males are, like, that big. Okay?

Yeah. Compared to the female, which is like that big. I know, yeah. It's the male to procreate, the male just inserts its, burrows its body into the female. Right. and it's yeah semenic material

disgusting right guest inside the female and then just becomes a part of the female's body for the rest of its life right like a mole I know that

and then it has babies I know that so the male literally commits suicide just to make more now you don't need to add desire or want or anything into the mix there

all you need to know is that's what they do. Right. That is what they do, yes. And the only want you could possibly ascribe to any of it is they want to make more anglers. Well, they don't really want anything, though, right? Exactly. But if you had to say want, the only one you could possibly even argue for is they want to make more, that's it.

Well, or, but the females want to get their nut off, but yeah. Well, the female could want to get their nut off. The men do not want to get their nut off because they die. They might not know they die, though, because they're fish. So they might be like, I'm getting my knot off. Here we go. And then, oh, yeah. And then I don't know if they have orgasms, though.

Oh, shit. I'm going to get in that. Oh, man, yo, there's a few amount. I'm going to get in her back. Here we go. Turn my light on. Oh, yeah. Instant death.

I mean, that would be a good way to go. More. More. Oh, hell, yeah. Oh, shit. More. Chicks. Turn a light on.

Oh, yeah, how yeah. More. I wonder what happens if more than one guy gets into one of them. Probably just more babies, I guess, right? No, or no, it's probably like sperm. It's like that, although the only, the first. The battle, yeah. But I think they have multiple at a time.

Like, ever seen a seahorse give birth? First of all, male seahorses give birth. What? Only at the hospital. They just like, Yeah, I know, I know. I mean, the sea is the ocean is a crazy. People are like outer space, wow.

Nothing happens out there. Yeah, except for the fact that it is infinite. Underneath the ocean is absolutely fucking insane. Well, it's infinite out in the outer space, but yes. Yeah, I understand. It might as well be infinite under the ocean, though. Like you just said, we know 27% max of what's in there. Damn.

Maximum. And that's just what we've seen. Not been to. Yeah. Anyway, all right, let's do another one. At Fandual Casino, you get even more ways to play. Dive into new and exciting games. And all of your favorite casino classics, like slots, table games, and arcade games.

You get Rees. Nothing else. So after listening to the guys who either asked too many questions while listening or totally seem like they're not

paying attention at all? That's a bit a big thing. Like I'm thinking, what is the etiquette for when you're driving and somebody in the passenger is telling a story? It looks like I'm holding a piece of shit. I seem to be in the minority in that I default to looking at the road and every now and I'll give you a look and, you know, make eye contact.

But I'm still verbally confirming that, I'm listening to what you're saying. Oh, that's really interesting. But I'm looking at where the danger is. Yeah, of course. Of course. A lot of the people around me seem to really like taking their eyes off the road and looking at the person they're talking to. That's really? Am I weird for not doing that?

No. You're alive. They're weird for doing it. You're alive for not doing that. your body alive body alive yeah that's weird that dog barks like a woman um so deeper wow no but uh yeah that is uh some i i i'd never even seen that if somebody was looking at me too long while i was in a padger's no that's happened to me where i'm like yeah i i get scared i'm like you i'm gonna shut up now because you really yeah oh yeah that's

hilarious it's not like a common occurrence but that's definitely happening where I'm like oh dude drive instead and what did you say something no I just I stopped talking because I was like they're looking at me because I'm talking I this is in my control never dealt with that I never thought that's insane hey what are you doing looking at me dude yeah I don't know I don't do that so I do what he does why wouldn't I don't even do that really I just nod and say oh yeah I'm looking at the road always though I don't even look over why would you look over You're there, you're in the car. It's not like you have anywhere to go or anything else to pay attention to.

It's the most obviously listening scenario ever. The person is obviously listening. Yeah, this is a podcast, not a movie at this point. Don't be watching. Yeah, exactly. There's nothing to look at. There's nothing to really, I guess your mind could drift. But like, not really.

Not if you're driving. Yeah, no, I know. Yeah, you're pretty locked in. Yeah. You're locked in on the road and locked down the story. Yeah, you got no choice. You don't even want to be. But for this guy to be talking about,

about this means he's been dealing with it. Yeah. Which is, it must be like his girlfriend or wife or something. Something, yeah. That's, that's crazy. I've never even, I don't even know if I, maybe I've just not been aware of it. He's got a couple friends that do it. But usually when I tell, tell stories I'm in a passenger seat, I'm looking out the window

sideways, so. I'm not all looking at the driver even, so. When you're telling stories? Yeah, go like this. Uh, no, I don't. A crazy person. Um, yeah, no, you're doing it. You're even, you're doing it wrong.

Just look at the road, dude, and nod and say, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, when it's time. And don't take your eyes off the road because, because driving. And cars are basically bombs waiting to detonate. A dad. A dad. I mean, it's true. Like, you crash a car. You're driving a bomb.

Didn't dad say that? Yep. Yeah. You're driving a bomb. Yeah. Time bomb, I think is what he said. Well, I mean, scared to see the more, you know, scared us even more but yeah uh but it's a good thing that it's a good way to think of it like you're

it's easy to forget every time you get in your car how fucking combustible and dangerous it is to be operating that thing yeah and don't remove your eyes from the road i mean if you have to you have to but as little as possible so when someone's telling you a story about how they went to sizzler you don't need to look over and nod and say uh-huh just look forward yeah just yeah just look forward and say uh-huh oh yeah uh-huh yeah keep looking at the road did you put butter on the lobster that's yeah that's what you don't want yeah yeah yeah so yeah there's your answer great that's great i'm out it's great for everybody all right all right Right. Next one. Hakers and Matt, a quick question here on how you deal with not remembering anybody's names. I'm terrible.

So am I. Absolutely horrible. I'd get people's names wrong all the time. I literally just had an instance where I got two people confused. Their brothers. Some leeway, but still go wrong one and it's just so embarrassing. What's like a good spin move to get a out of that and then it's their fault if you can't get out of it how do i stop thinking about it man i just feel like an idiot that's careful just complete idiot oh i can address the second one like would you give a shit if somebody forgot your name i was this was the advice i was going to give you feel bad about it because you think you hurt their feelings right the truth is you wouldn't give of you less of a fuck if someone called you Brian and your name's Ryan or someone called me Mike and my obviously my name's Matt and everyone knows that because I'm famous but it's different you know um like would I be offended if someone called me Mike like I wouldn't give I wouldn't

even remember it in 10 seconds dude a goldfish this guy's thinking about it days later like dude relax no one cares about you that much and I mean that in a in a in a in a in a good way. Such a fucking dick. No, dude. You're a piece of shit. You're scum of the earth. You're worm. No, people's problems arise. You're worm shit. Almost all of people's problems arise from them thinking they're more important, not important, more considered than they really are by others in the world. People are thinking about themselves only, dude. Nobody gives a shit if you get their name wrong. In the moment, it might be a little embarrassing. Oh, fuck, sorry. In the moment, to speak to your other question, just be like, Oh, fuck, I'm so bad with names.

I'm such an idiot. You're done? No. There's a guy that I asked four, maybe three times, four times. And his name is Art. That's pretty easy. And it's easy. And every time I go, it's something easy.

And I go, what's your name? Art. Finally got it. And I see him all over town. It's really odd. And is he part of my imagination? And then, but yeah, if I don't remember your name, you fucked up

you fucked up how how did they talk to me long enough you weren't memorable enough no don't I couldn't disagree more do you know I mean I maybe it's because you have a better memory than me but like do I yeah you definitely do I just I could meet the most I could meet the most interesting person

bro the the hottest girl the hell yeah what she like a guy I would definitely want to be friends with and then what's a And then immediately I would be like, oh, fuck, I forgot their name. I don't even know how to look them up. No, I understand. I do things where I'm reading a book or something and there's two characters and every few

chapters, I forget which one's which. Like in the book, The Housemaid that I was reading, Millie, there's Millie and something else. And I was like, wait, which one's Millie again? Every time I read it. Honestly, I think that's a sign of a bad book. Really? Yeah.

that's more than anything else yeah I don't think that's that if you're not engaged enough with a book that you're in the middle of reading to remember each character's name that's probably because to you the book's not that good no maybe I'm just an idiot though

that's possible no no you're supposed to come back to my book yeah don't don't at all beat yourself up about it I go like the AA what's your name

to go, oh, you don't remember my name, but we're like, yeah, dude, you fucked up, man. What is it, Paul or something? No, it's Jason. All right. I hope I remember it this time. If I don't remember it next time, you'll know you fucked up again, dude. By all means, take it personally, because you should, because it's your fault. That's your take.

Yeah, that's not my take. Sounds like you have an issue about having people remember your name. Sounds like you should work. Sounds like something you should work on. Hmm. Yeah. But being memorable and having people remember your name. Those are two totally different names.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. One doesn't. Names just don't stick in my mind. Yeah. They just don't. Yeah, because they don't matter. And it's obviously, it's honestly, honestly, super weird that a bunch of people's names are all the same.

Like, that's weird that, like, a bunch of guys are named Mike. What the fuck? Somebody decided that Mike's going to be a name and now you just pick from a hat what these names. Not a half, but you look through them and you go, oh, that's the name I want. Make up new names, bro. A lot of people do. Zinga. I bet there's a person named Zenga.

Zinga Phillips. Yeah, but there's one. I bet there's more than one Zinga Phillips. Zinga. Look up Zinga Phillips. Z-I-N-G-A? Z-I-N-G-A, Z-I-N-G-A, Z-I-N-G-A. Zinga was his name, oh.

Of course it's a fucking lady, right? Chief Legal Officer Zinga Phillips. I mean, look at this. Zinga Phillips likely refers to go up. Fong Phillips, a prominent legal executive known for her role as chief legal officer. I mean, so many different names. At Zinga. Oh, at Zinga.

Fuck that. I hate you. Dude. Fuck that you, bitch, you to think. Look at me. Google's Gemini AI fucking sucks my taint. Does it? Yes.

Really? It's so misleading and wrong and bad. Is chat better? Yes. Really? Yeah, I mean, Chatsby has its issues and its limitations, but it's useful. It doesn't cook for you.

Gemini will just tell you the wrongest shit and is so not intuitive. Do you know what I'm talking about, Chris? Yeah. Like, it's just like... Oh, it was so drunk. How could you have thought I meant that is what I always think

when I put something into AI on Google? And on GBT, you can just be like, you can just type in a word and then it'll just fucking know what you mean. They're just playing catch up, you know. I think Google had been working on the model, but they didn't prioritize it. That's why the app app is so good for the thing that we are, that we, we, we, we plug sometimes because it's a career, it helps you with your career.

And it's like to be the, it's, for instance, like, Gemini is catching up to chat GPD because chat GPT was the one that was like, this is going to be the AI that you Google or that you type in and figure out information that way. And once you're the number one version of that, it's hard to shake them, unless there's some kind of like, they go belly up. But like, people prefer Claude and Grok though. I mean, I know, but not many though.

Yeah, you're right, you know, Chateeby is the one. Open eye is the big one, yeah, yeah. And so, that's what I'm saying. So because with these businesses that like, you know, the one to do that you know like that's what I'm saying about it's just it's just always wild

because you can use you can use it it's weird how the mind works because you can use it for a bunch in a bunch of different places but you go to the one do you know what I'm saying? I don't go to the one if you just define the one I think I wouldn't know what you're saying like you go

to the you the one is in chat GPT Yeah, instead of, you know, Gemina. But here's what I would argue. You go to that one, or at least for me, I go to that one because it's been the most accurate. And because I've gone to it more than the other ones, it knows me the best.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when I say, I don't believe you, I think you're just trying to make me feel better or give me the answer I want, it'll be like, sometimes it'll be like, oh, oh, really? You think that? And then just like pull up like eight data points. and I'll be like, oh, I guess I'm wrong.

You really weren't just trying to blow smoke up my ass. And sometimes they're like, ha, you got me. And it's like, dude, like, it's like, it's not perfect, you know what I mean? But I try to use it only for things that are either factual or non-factual. You can't be like, hey, help me draft. For me, I don't like it when people are like, hey, help me draft an email to my brother about the estate sale coming up or whatever the fuck

it's like write the fucking email you lazy fuck well yeah no I I get it yeah you know but I'm always on chat TV like hey what's the story with this

is it true and if it is true give me links and prove it that's mainly what I use it for but Gemini will just tell you wrong shit with like the utmost utmost confidence George Bush knocked down the towers.

Yeah. As cited in Immortal Technique's song, it was you. And that's how we know it's proof. Like, that's what Gemini would say. Basically, yeah. And you're like, this is a song by a rapper.

Yeah, that's how. And they didn't they- Bush knocked down them towers? Didn't they say Gemini had some big update recently? Isn't that what they claimed, Marco? I'm not sure. Probably. They didn't. It still sucks my fucking.

dick though. Wow. How could Google have the worst one? Because they just weren't working on it. They weren't working on it, exactly. But that, then they're fucking idiots. Like, well, how how could they not see this coming? They had so much time. I think that they did. I think it, it's got to be, I, all I can do is sort of yes. Is it the talent at the companies, do you think? it's the fact that they specified in that it's like you can order stuff on fucking a bunch of different websites but amazon was the one that put all the resources into that right but what I'm saying is in the AI arms race so to speak why is chat GPT for instance so much better than Gemini because they were the they were the ones that but but but Google's been working on their

AI shit forever right I mean this is not they're not like they're a company. Look, they've owned Search for 20 plus years, right? Yeah. And they run that company. They run other products. You're saying they're not specialized like Open AI. Yeah, and they have teams that are working on their AI whatever. Yeah.

And all open AI had been doing is just building large language models, right? And Google probably heard about it what they're doing. They're like, they'll work on that too. But, dude, I mean, like anything else, there's companies that that's like all they're working on. and then other companies that are like, they also don't know the sauce. Yeah, right. So, you know.

Well, yeah, I'd like to see Google trying to do stand-up comedy. Sam Altman's, that's what I, Sam Altman has definitely killed people when, right? I'd like to see him trying to do stand-up. And he's definitely killed him like this with a straight face with a knife. And he's definitely...

I do it because I love it. Has what he, when he goes to sleep, he dreams of... The entire world, like, you know that shit in Terminator 2 when Linda Hamilton has that vision of the nuclear holocaust? He has that dream. He sees people melting, skeletons just skin melting off of them, bones, you know, crumbling in the heat. And he wakes up smiling. That to him is a dream.

That is my idea of what Sam Mom is like. No, it's not a nightmare of him as a dream? Yeah, it's a dream. It's a happy dream. He's like, oh, that's so warm. Oh, that's great dream last night. Oh, yeah, what was it? oh man the world blew up and everyone's skin fucking melted off

what that was a nightmare oh yeah oh sure yeah whatever yeah call what you want but I loved it my impression of Sam Olman uh that's crazy it was a non-profit and he was saying that they do it because they love it I mean remember the whole thing with the ads lately has been hilarious what is it again they started using ads and then they were they were testing ads and then they were like oh we don't know what then they got this huge backlash because he claimed, I'm doing this because I love it to make money.

Meanwhile, the whole reason him and Elon Musk had a falling out is because, I don't know, Elon Musk fan, but he wanted Open AI to be a nonprofit. Right. Sam Altman was like, uh, no, because $900 billion. Obviously, the board was like, we're going to go with the $900 billion guy. And Elon got fucked and whatever. Anyway, his whole thing, just like Zuckerberg before him, no ads, no ads, no ads, no ads. No ads.

No, never no ads. They, they kind of beta, I don't know if you'd call it even beta testing, but they like tested the waters on what it might look like with ads on opening eye. People got so fucking mad that they actually made a statement that said that it was just some weird glitch and we don't know what's going on. Oh, come on. Yeah, dude. Yeah.

And if you see the screen, they had to build a whole fucking infrastructure. If you see the screenshots, you're just like, it's an ad. It's an ad for Colgate. What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, it's not like... We don't know how that slipped in there. I think I was thinking about Colgate and then it just kind of happened.

It was in my algorithm and anyway. Just admit it. Yes, Colgate made $100 million, but... Yes, we made $50 million off that. But why don't know? Yeah, we have no idea of that guy. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah.

I mean, they're not... They're fucked, dude. I don't know. How are they going to make money? How are they going to make money? I mean, it is a paid product. It is a paid product. Yeah.

But at a certain point, just like everything, I'm sure now but here's the thing though they need to have so many users to finance the amount of fucking water alone that they need to be able to

fucking cool their systems as they go so as they grow like how much do we pay per month for it is it six bucks? 20 is it $20? Yeah that's what I pay. Jesus Christ So okay so fine so why wouldn't they

run ads? Like, what's the reason? Because then it becomes a what? Like a... Well, there's a... You probably know better than me, but my understanding of it is that once something runs ads and you're paying for it, it has other interests. There's that.

They're beholden to the interests of the advertisers. But it's also, you know, you're paying to not get ads. is what people is implied of what people think, right? Yeah. If something's free, you get ads, you deal with it because you're like,

well, it's fucking free. Oh, okay. But if I'm paying 20 bucks a month for something, and then you're going to add ads? I guess so. I mean, like when I see... I mean, Amazon does it. They just did it to everybody.

Netflix is going to do it for sure. Well, what do you mean? They do it to their own shows, too. It's like annoying. Like, when you turn on HBO, Max, and then you go to watch the next episode of whatever the fuck you're going to watch, they show you a thing that Mark Wahlberg's

to come out in a month and you're like what the fuck bro i pay for this shit yeah i know but nobody gets outraged over that well that's that's cross promo yeah that's different it's a little different yeah i guess if you're on chat tvd and they fucking advertise coldgate you're gonna way more likely to be pissed than if you're on HBO max and they promo before your movie but why would you be pissed well because okay what if you're asking about what's the best toothpaste and you want like a pure yes exactly AI driven answer to the thing and it's not corrupted by a fucking sponsor i understand Yeah, yeah. And sponsors oftentimes will be like, you know, if you keep talking about this,

we're going to pull our ad money. And it's like people don't want to be. They want to unfiltered. That's why Sam Harris has always refused to take a single ad. Because he's like, I will not even like entertain it. Entertain the possibility that someone could tell me what to say, which is, I think, the fucking coolest thing ever. But like, you got to be in a certain position to be able to do that.

Sure, of course. But, like, it's, I think it's just, it's like this mission creep thing where, like, eventually you run ads, you run ads, you run ads, that's your business model. You're just going to be beholden to those advertisers. And it's like this weird trap is the idea. Okay, let's do one more. Okay. At Capital One, we're more than just a credit card company. We're people just like you who believe in the power of yes.

The other day, I was able to meet Louie C.K. to book signing. I sent a photo of that to a friend. And then later on that day,

another friend sends me back my own photo. So basically, this has become a pattern of behavior with this friend, you know, telling other people's stories, kind of embellishing, whatever. And basically it's like, hey, man, that's my story to tell. If I wanted my business out there, I would have put that on social media, you know, but I'm kind of a private person. I don't like to do that. I would appreciate that to be respected. So how do I approach this with this friend? How do I explain that's not something I wanted to do?

And I love you guys. And Paul. Oh, well, he did it good. Yeah, I totally agree, dude. That's annoying as fuck. I don't understand what happened. So he's saying, what he's saying is, basically, if I send you a picture of something, it's for you. You don't send that to fucking these guys.

But he said he sent it back to him. I think his point is I found out that you did this. That you sent this to somebody else. The person he sent it to sent it to somebody. He doesn't like that. Yeah. I agree with that. I completely agree.

so fucking annoying. That's so annoying. And I think all, I think it's, I mean, it might be uncomfortable, but just be like, hey, dude, I send you stuff because I want you to have it. Yeah. I tell you, think of it like this. Every pick, think of every picture I send to you as like, uh, something I'm confiding in you. Yeah. You know, that's secret. Not a secret. Yeah. But like, you know, something that's just between us. You don't just fucking. You don't just fucking. share it like willy-nilly with the fucking world yeah like that that's not what i know i know that's so weird it's it but i understand it's not like it's an unwritten rule i get it it's just a you know some people are just like it's just a picture who fucking cares but yeah still you shouldn't do

that there text messaging fucks it up and stuff though because it's like it there's the whole log of it i guess don't ever text something you don't want somebody else to see really that that that should be the rule not that every not that anybody does that you didn't know what it Nobody does that. But, I mean, that really is what it should be. Like, I don't send, I don't send, I don't send a, I would never send a picture of somebody to another person unless they knew about it or, yeah, I just wouldn't. Even, even if it was benign, I'd be like, it's not for them, it's for me. I wouldn't, because, and I would also think, because what if they told that person I sent them that? Even if it's not even a, you would send a picture of someone of someone doing something dumb. the gym to me, though. Yeah, because I know that you wouldn't send it to anybody. Okay, right, yeah. Right.

I know you would not send that to anybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because, but, and here's the thing, if you did send it to somebody, and then somebody sent it to me, and I knew you sent it to somebody, be like, dude, don't send it to that person, because what the fuck would that person do? I don't trust that person.

What would you say to me, though? I would say, don't, that could be, what if they posted it? And then the other person finds out that, that, that, that I sent that and then I, that was for you. I would say that's for you. So there's another thing you could possibly say. My point is, say anything, dude, just be like, what I send you is for you. Please don't send it to other people.

And if you keep doing that, then I'm going to start sending you less stuff. Yeah, 100%. And there are people that I don't send stuff to because I don't trust them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I have people off the top of my head right now that I would tell you that. I just don't send stuff to because of that.

Yeah. Yeah, that is really annoying and weird. It's really annoying. It's not really weird, though. I totally understand. No, no, I think what's weird that, no, no, no. What I think is weird that another person just sent the picture back to the original guy. That's what's weird to me.

But that's not what he's saying is weird. No, it's not. No, okay. No, no, no. Right. He's saying what sucks. But you don't know why. Maybe he was, maybe, but maybe, maybe that guy was like, I don't think I don't

think that's that weird. You never meet anybody famous. You take a picture with Louis CK. You send it over to your friend. And then that friend says that you was like, oh my God, I can't believe you took this picture with Louis CK. I don't think that's weird at all. Yeah, maybe not. Yeah. Dude, Gary showed me this. Look. Yeah. Who's Gary? No, I'm just kidding. The untrustworthy friend. Gary Sheffield. It's Gary Sheffield. Yeah. No, it's just, it's annoying. Yeah. Modern life, you know. All these new questions. Such a boring guy. All these new questions coming at us. We don't know how to answer them.

We're just on this spinning rock. Such a boring fucking guy. As technology is advancing faster and faster every day. Wow. You never know what's coming next. 900 people in the world are saying that exactly when you're saying that. That's how boring and regular it is. All right.
