Oh, we're on this guy's podcast. What's up? Can you hear me? Hey, dude. Yeah. This is fucking crazy. What the fuck? Right here, bro.

Yeah, what up, bro. Yeah, what's what's up? Yeah. I mean, okay. Based on your reaction, I think everybody says that. So I'll just get to it. No, no, we, well, yeah. I mean, you know.

Yeah, yeah, you fucking get to the fucking face. No, no, no. We appreciate it if you like us, you know? Yeah, yeah, that's great. But you didn't fucking say anything. You just went, oh, man. Yeah, what are we supposed to do? The fuck are we supposed to do?

It's like the first time you see somebody's dick, you go, oh, man, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's huge, what is that? Yeah, and Eric goes, put it in my mouth. No, you're good, bro. At the same time, I disconnected my headphones. Sorry. What's okay? I just remember you guys only have 20 minutes left.

So, okay, the thing I was going to mention today is... I was just looking for some justification on... Let me ask you a question before we even start. Why do people do the blur the background thing? Yeah, yeah. So many people do it. So your porno posters behind you or what's going on? It's not like...

It's just a wall, right? A wall? Yeah, yeah. This is just a wall. So why do you do the blur thing? I don't understand it. I think... Did you take some cough syrup?

Before this interview? Like, what is you? You think what? I think a lot of people work remotely. And so it's just a habit for them to have it set up to blow their background. A couple weeks ago. Someone has a messy room or something. Yeah, but do you have a messy room?

No, it's just my wall, but. Okay, yeah. Like I said, it's just a habit. Okay, I get it. A couple weeks ago, my girlfriend was on a Zoom call with her boss of like a month and a half. And I walked in the background naked. Oh. Wow, well that, what?

Because she, she had a, she had a Zoom meeting at like... But she should have anticipated that. It was like 10.30 and I came out after a nap, or maybe later in the afternoon because I was napping. And I came out like just disheveled caveman, buck naked. And like, she like turned her computer and I was just like, oh, my God. She should have kind of anticipated that. Her boss was like, don't make it weird.

Don't make it weird. Oh, yeah, okay. It's fine. Yeah. And now put it back. Have I'm standing there again. Move to the left. Move to the left.

Anyway, sorry, guys. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, it's all right. Justification. Justification of? Breakup. With my girlfriend.

You were breaking up with her? I have already. Okay. And this is my first relationship, first breakup. So I'm just trying to, I guess the purpose of me asking is to gauge the, it might be an entertain story. and just, yeah, to gauge my actions, I suppose. So anyways, okay, so this was, I guess, when I, well, yeah, like four months ago,

mid-April, we went on a cruise for her birthday, Caribbean cruise, and he was with her family, and some of her friends and a sister. and about midway through the crew we were at a show and there were cup holders at this show that were really shallow so even just a slight bump of a drink would knock it over okay and so I'm making I'm not enjoying the show because it's like a circus away type of thing I'm not really into that stuff right right right just like kind of twirling their hands around and shit so I I'm making fun of it and I'm doing it and I'm doing it doing this yeah yeah yeah bump into her drink and um it spills on her like some of it gets on her

i suppose but she reacts in that moment and knocks it back in my direction spilling it on me so we go back and forth about who spilled it on two oh okay and then we go back to the room and we clean up and uh i i apologize because i realized the order of events okay like how do we get on both of us anyways yeah yeah um uh so that so we get cleaned up and then she asks or i asked for a question unrelated and she's obviously still upset so she responds in a in a like a bity way yeah like a really angry like tone oh she's a female and yeah and the problem that i had with that is um it's happened before you you guys have probably experienced this for like the lady will

want you to change your like toe yeah oh yeah I'll have a whole bit about it in my act it's fucking 20 minutes right now currently like this story yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you're making me rethink

doing it no but come at yeah just is that why you fought because you were trying excited about this yeah I'm not I don't even dude trust me knocking a drink over is something I would talk about

on my pockets for 35 minutes, so I'm not knocking the story, but do it better. This is probably what happened. She was like, what happened? He was like, well, you had a drink and then, you know, I had the drink in my hand,

and then, you know, the circle so late. She was probably like, come on. She was like, the cruise is over. They were on a separate vacation. It was like, hey, buddy. He's so smart. Tell the fucking start.

50 bucks in like a week. Like she's cat will. Okay. But she does read a lot. And, yeah, I just, I just talk slowly. No, that's fine. But so, so that we guys broke up over that? No.

No, so that was the chain, like the main thing. Got it. Catalyst. Because it happened over the years. And I don't like when, like, she tried to change me. But, you know, you have to hold yourself accountable to your own rules as well. Yes. And so I don't like if she's coming back at me the way that I wouldn't come back at her now.

I totally understand what you're saying. I totally understand what you're saying. And you're fucked because that's women. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to say, should have Steve Harvey this? Yeah. Go ahead.

Okay. Listen, man, this is all you, bro. Okay. Well, no, but what he's saying. Can I finish? All right, go ahead. Can I finish? Six more reason.

Go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. No, let them, let them finish. We don't have time for those six reasons. Yeah, go, go, go, go. I'm saying this, you knock the drink over and, you know, and then you're having a fight with her about how you're fighting with her. When you should have just been like, my bad, let her do her thing and you move on.

Yeah, but he's saying she now has an attitude. Yeah, because it was probably this really long, slow fight they had because of how this fucking guy talks. You know what I mean? My point is. My point is, women. I'm sure he was like, honey. Women say, women say, and he's looking to leave. Women say things.

Women say things in arguments that if the man said it to them, it would be basically assault. I know, Chris, but you know that. So you pick your battles. All right. You pick your battles. There's still a double, what do you call it, two side? And everything's, dude, there's a double standard in life. That's why there's first class.

and there's riff-raff. All right. It's a double standard. It just happens. This is what it is. It's coach, but yeah. Eric does this to everybody. Oh, now he wants to talk fast.

He's talking about me. Fuck you. Let me tell Eric's Robin. This is how you should have talked to your fucking girl. I agree. No, I should, you know what, Eric, I'm very good at moving on with things.

Nothing bothers me ever. That's why I was so willing to. You're a man. No, no. No, but this is what I'm saying, though. But that's the way, wait, hold up a second, bro. That's what I'm saying. She's got to be like this for a while.

No, no, no, no, but the problem is this. That's what I'm saying. If you can get past things, no, you actually can't. Yeah, it's fine. No, but you actually can't get past things because he broke up with her. So you're just lied. You can't get past things. This is something that was buggy.

If you could get past it, you would have been like, ah, she's just being, how she's being. I mean, there were six other things that we're not going to hear. Yeah. You're right. I miss both because, yeah, I didn't get, that was the catalyst to get me thinking about other things. I totally get it. He's lost, but I get it.

I'm not lost at all. I do get it. But what I'm saying is like, you don't need justification. This is the thing, too. This is what all men want when they break up with somebody. You want it to be like you're still a good guy when you break up. Okay? You're not.

All right? You're an asshole to this girl, and that's just is what it is. You move on with your life. I feel like she may talk really shitty to him or did, like constantly. No, no, no. But what I'm saying is like, who cares? What I'm saying is you're not going to be able to... Yeah, no, you're right.

She's not going to go, you know what? Yeah, you're right, you're right. I have been talking shit at you. I'm so sorry. Go on with your life. I love you. You're free to be what you want. No, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's not going to absolve you of the guilt she thinks you have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's just, that's what it is to be in a relationship. So you don't need, there is no justification that's going to make it right or make you feel good about it, all right? Well, it's like this. You got sick of her. You don't like how she talks. Yeah.

And maybe she gained 10 pounds. But you're better. There's the deal. There's, there's, this is how it is always. When a story happens, when an event happens, there's the guy's version of what happened. And then there's the females version of what happened. And then there's the true version of what happened. Right?

It may not be all the way over to the guy, but it's hella far from the woman. Hell afar. So you just got to, you know, be happy with that much, really. And what I'm saying is when it's time to go, when you don't, when you're tired of that, you just go. in your mind you know what i'm tired of this she's not going to change see you you're going to move on and it's not going to be like whether that's right or wrong it doesn't matter it just doesn't matter yeah it doesn't it doesn't matter which is the worst part but yes right yeah yeah that's why you

call into a podcast yeah you know what i mean after you take some cough syrup you know what i i would have had the story more condensed and been able to get all the shit out but uh you know it's just like the last minute thing to get on here so you're good bro yeah you're I enjoyed it. It's fun. We make fun to everybody, bro. You make fun to everyone.

You're not special. Yeah. You should be. You obviously have nice teeth. Otherwise, Eric would have mentioned it. He's going to, oh, that got's full-up. I haven't got to his hair yet.

We're going to get to him. No, he's got a lot of good hair. He's got great hair. It's like he's fucking Aladdin over here. Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it. Prince Ali, Fabulous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, cool.

So we do have time last that? I can keep going. I don't know if that was a joke. Funny. No, it wasn't a joke. But wait, so, it wasn't. But wait, so, but what I want to know is... To be continued.

How long is left on the podcast? Ten minutes. All right, then we got time. Dude, the guy's fucking... I thought we were 20 over. No, no, no, no. All right, whatever, but what is it, though? I like this guy.

Yeah. I know. Okay, okay, okay. We're making fun. I understand he talks slow, but it's like... I saw you in London, Ontario. Sorry, I keep talking over. You saw me where?

London, Ontario. London, Ontario. Nice. I'll be in Hamilton soon, Chris Leia.com. Go ahead. Okay. Oh, you're so easy. Sorry to all the viewers for interrupting Chris.

Shut up, bro. Yeah, we cut that up. Don't worry. You're not even interrupting me. Okay. Don't worry. We're going to turn your speed up to seven. When we replay this and it's going to sound normal.

It's going to be a great fucking story when we fucking speed you up, motherfucker. Yeah. Okay. Okay. okay yeah so that happened and then so now I'm fuming well like actually I cried like a bitch okay I'll just admit that okay fair enough um in that moment and she knew immediately what she did wrong like she apologized okay okay wow and um and her her stepmom was like banging on our our door to get us to go to come to dinner okay so she comes from a broken family her mom has a or her

her stepmom has a third she has a hard time like uh saying no i suppose to her step mom okay sure yeah anyways um so we have to go to dinner and pretend like everything's fine right i hate doing that oh and so the rest of the trip i'm trying to get out of there go to the gym just to like avoid everyone and uh just like work out and you don't have internet so you have like time to think right right right right nothing to so now I'm thinking about the relationship in the context of how this guy yeah and that's ultimately what you I think you need to consider one of the main things right then you're also thinking like how far away from the mainland yeah yeah yeah yeah

water and swim home maybe the family fell what I want to see this guy man were so she wanted her sister who currently rooms with her to she wanted us to buy a house when we do that it fit her sister in the basement like that in a basement apartment no and um uh I had actually agreed to that even though like her I'm not a fan of like the cleanliness and everything okay but um you know on that cruise I realized I was like you know her sister has always been cold to me and we and we were at uh and like Like, she would be the aunt.

And I guess you can have, the thing about her aunt, like that her sister is that she is really, she's like really far left. Okay. And I'm not far anything or, like I'd like to believe I'm in the middle. You're far from the point. Founder. We're off on the aunt's got issue. Her political leading. The political leader.

and then the sister's dirty and you know they're buying a house together and he's okay with her living in the basement even though she's dirty I'm gonna rock your world here okay I pray the answer is the way I hope it is but do you have a podcast
