Mike shares some signs that fitness social media and YouTube are regaining some of their old traction (2015-17 vibes, anyone?). Even attendance at the Arnold seems to be on the upswing again. Speaking of the Arnold, are we bummed that we didn’t go this year after making a return as spectators last year?

Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and joined us for this one.

Deep question this week. What is your biggest fear? We learned something about each other with this one.

1
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:15.679
I'll say yes, sir, a
little intimate party today, just me and

2
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:22.800
Mike and say bass. It seems
like fitness is back, like online fitness

3
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.320
grew during COVID obviously in a new
generation of TikTok and shit, but Iranda,

4
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.480
Larry Gal this weekend and others.
But uh, and just see what

5
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.119
I see online and for it.
It seems like Arnold, Ohio was huge

6
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.439
this year. I heard that,
yeah, yeah, and then uh,

7
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.119
they're on the way right now as
we speak to Arnold uk UK and it

8
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.240
sounds like it's big. Yeah,
Young La is bringing Larry out. It

9
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.039
seems like the ship's grown again.
But it is kind of like even a

10
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.840
new generation everywhere, like Powerlift in
America, everyone just jumped over, So

11
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.600
that's like the new generation. And
they don't have that at the Arnold yet.

12
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.200
Obviously it's still us a p L. But they just snagged Mitchell Cooper

13
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.640
won the Arnold and he won the
World Strongest Man last year, and he's

14
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.439
probably in his late twenties. I
don't know for sure, but he's kind

15
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.920
of the new gen of strong man. Even that seems to dominate because even

16
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.640
when the Stolt Brothers won World's strongest
man. I don't think they won the

17
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.000
Arnold and it's been like that.
I don't think they did. Yeah,

18
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.040
historically it's been like that, can
you that might gotcha? I just saw

19
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.560
up with this camera my we're cutting
me off at my eyes a little zoom,

20
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.280
didn't he I don't know something.
I mean, this is the tight

21
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:38.719
space back here, but you sometimes
have to juggle things around and ah much

22
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.959
better. Okay, So it's been
a while since there was like the Thor

23
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.560
or the Brian Shaw that kind of
dominated, or was like the Michael Jordan

24
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.000
of the sport. I think even
the Stole Brothers didn't win back to back,

25
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.519
right, I think there's been like
a new guy every year winning the

26
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.400
world's strongest man. Yeah they didn't, Yeah they didn't. Right, So

27
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.879
now you got Mitchell kind of taking
the Ornald taking that Sea Bomb's kind of

28
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.079
obviously been dominant for a less little
bit here in bodybuilding, kind of been

29
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.479
the guy. But generally speaking,
it seems like kind of a fresh chapter.

30
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.080
Plus the COVID obviously ruined all exposed, but it seems like a new

31
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:20.599
chapter. The new gen is like
officially taken over. Yeah, unrelated,

32
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:27.759
but about the popularity of Strongman.
The Stolman brothers are with Jim Shark and

33
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.319
there's this uh so it was in
Gono Go. My boy in Ghana got

34
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:38.080
his poor ass knocked out. He's
topped the bottom gym Shark geez. This

35
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:47.199
group of retired gymnasts that I follow
on YouTube and Instagram and stuff, led

36
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.360
by Ash Watson. They had the
Stolman brothers in to do to do some

37
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.039
gymnastics and they did all. They
also did acro yoga, which is nuts.

38
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.479
Yeah. I mean they're probably good
at the base, right, yeah,

39
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.879
stable base because they're just too big
for anything else. Yeah. Yeah,

40
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.400
it's funny. Yeah, I mean
those guys are still competitive. I

41
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.360
think they did well with Arnold.
Not to negate them by any means,

42
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.360
but it seems like the new stars
are kind of stepping up the new giant.

43
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.840
I mean again, Powerlifting America is
a big ripple in in uh powerlifting.

44
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.560
I think we talked about it on
the show. It might have been

45
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.560
afterwards CBS signed a big Yes,
we talked about that. CBS signed that

46
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.680
big contract with IPF. That's kind
of a new chapter, a new exciting

47
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:36.120
thing CrossFit plus the Rogue Invitational,
we mentioned a little bit. Are both

48
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.039
moving, which is a new chapter
for them. You know they normally do

49
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.879
like blocks. I think CrossFit was
in LA for six seven years. Seems

50
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.639
like they were in Wisconsin for the
last five maybe more. But now they

51
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.520
got a brand new chapter. So
good things. I think money is obviously

52
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.000
flowing. Fucking fitness is still cool, you know, maybe maybe never been

53
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.400
cooler. I was talking to I
went to a podcast meeting a couple of

54
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.680
weeks ago over in Oakland. We're
talking about just a few years ago,

55
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:12.400
like twenty eighteen ish eighteen twenty nineteen. There's a whole lot of money from

56
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:19.720
China rolling into podcasts in America,
in podcast networks, and there was one

57
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.199
called Himalaya, which sort of makes
sense. Yeah, ever gone all gone?

58
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.160
Really? Yeah, I mean podcasts
might have scaled obviously it's on the

59
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.480
individual, but as a group too
fast, right, it was the hot

60
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.639
shit, but not everybody can have
an interesting podcast. Yeah, And it's

61
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.920
just kind of the same thing that's
going on with with TV, Like they

62
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.160
say peak TV has has has passed, Yeah, because there used to be

63
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.360
there were you know, two years
ago there were six hundred TV shows on

64
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.759
it and now there were, you
know, two hundred something fewer, and

65
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:57.720
it'll probably keep consolidating because everyone was
just throwing content against the wall to see

66
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.720
it would stick. And yeah,
TV in general is a weird space,

67
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.279
right because of the streaming world.
What's live, what's not live? Yeah,

68
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.839
even that's a big announcement. We
were talking about Mike Tyson non pay

69
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.279
per view just on Netflix. That's
the first of its kind. Yeah,

70
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.480
that's got it. I mean,
I can't even imagine what that contract is.

71
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.360
It's probably because of Jake Paul had
a documentary on Netflix maybe and I

72
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.560
probably did well. Yeah, probably
did it. Yeah, they probably did

73
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.240
some kind of a over yeah deal, and it probably did well. You

74
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.879
know, like there's a lot of
Jake Paul's only twenty seven, but like

75
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.879
he was really popping when he was
like early twenties. So the people watching

76
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.079
them war fifteen now they're twenty.
Yeah, and they're the ones on Netflix,

77
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.319
and shit, it kind of makes
sense to market to that Netflix in

78
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:47.759
case anybody was was not paying attentions. And it's sometimes easy to to discount

79
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.720
Netflix Netflix because sometimes you can't find
anything you want to watch on Netflix.

80
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.319
But the streaming wars are like over
they fucking won. Yeah, they won

81
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.480
everything. Yeah, and so now
they're trying to move into live events,

82
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.079
which makes sense too. Dave Chang
did like four weeks of a live cooking

83
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.319
show. We bought celebrities, like
two celebrities in and he's cool. He

84
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.199
would cook while he talked to them, and it was kind of more about

85
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.920
the conversation than the food, like
a Hot Ones type deal or whatever.

86
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.240
Yeah. Except yeah, except that
all the food tasted good and was dying.

87
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.279
That's more about the interview than that
Wings of Mouth inferno. Yeah,

88
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.360
yeah, for sure. And he
wasn't so much directing it, you know,

89
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.199
towards the conversation, just kind of
laying it happened. You know.

90
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.399
It was like Bert Kreischer and Bill
Simmons and yeah, podcasting guys, I

91
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:40.439
know what they're doing. Seth Rogan
and Ike Baron holds the one thing.

92
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.360
I think Hulu's the only one that
does it, just based on the commercials.

93
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.720
I don't even have it, but
his live sports A lot of you

94
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.279
haven't really doven in right, Like
the mainstream media still dominates that the Fox,

95
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.839
the CBS, the NBC's although they
are often attached to one of streaming

96
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.639
right, like Peacock is one of
theirs. HBO tied end with Fox.

97
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.519
No, No, is there any
other Fox doesn't that. I'm sure Fox

98
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.839
has their own shitty streaming app.
I don't think that. I don't know

99
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.120
who owns Fox now, I don't
even know. Yeah, they have a

100
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.439
Sony relationship of some nature. Yeah, Sony just produces content. Yeah,

101
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.319
you know they don't. But you
know what I mean, like their own

102
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.240
stream Basically all these shows or these
TV channels have their own streaming ish now,

103
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.600
but I feel like there is a
big gap for live stuff in general

104
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.560
or sports, yeah, right,
where it's like Netflix and some of the

105
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:39.120
others are basically trying to recreate cable
right without Cape. Yeah, just backwards

106
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.920
now. I was listening to Kevin
James on Rogan, which is always like

107
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.240
cool to me, and Rogan I
only literally listen to based on the guests

108
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.319
now, But Kevin James is like
a fucking star star, you know,

109
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.519
and he's been a star, and
he just always seemed cool to me.

110
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.160
He seemed kind of normal. But
then hearing I'm talking to Rogan, he's

111
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.800
so normal because they came up together, which is just like a cool thing,

112
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.560
right, Yeah, because it's kind
of like powerlifting. We're like,

113
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.839
well, I will tell some of
our members, like the people we know

114
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.759
and who we've met through the gym. It's just because we all were meatheads,

115
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.000
and like, once you get there, the niche is very small.

116
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.480
And so I think the comedian and
niche they both started on the East Coast

117
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.839
and like the eighties and they just
you know, were the successful ones,

118
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.279
which was cool. But they were
mentioning some I think it was the Toronto

119
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.000
Show. They said there was some
show in the nineties that was like a

120
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.320
comedy not special, but a live
comedy weekend event, and so they'll just

121
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.320
have comedians all over the place just
doing sounded almost like it was like a

122
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.519
south By south West Deel, but
for comedy. So these guys would all

123
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.960
everyone would go and you'd give your
best, you know, depending on your

124
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.360
level. You're ten minutes, fifteen, a half an hour. But they

125
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:50.399
said, neuring the nineties, it
was like a bidding draft to get the

126
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.720
next sitcom. He said, yeah, he said, you could go up

127
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.759
there and you could be a nobody
and just lay a dope five minutes down.

128
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.080
And Fox and NBC are now fighting
to make the next Seinfeld Show with

129
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.399
you, because that was the era, right, there was the Seinfeld,

130
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.960
there was Roseanne. It was just
comedians turned Tim Allen. It was just

131
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.559
comedians turned sitcom stars and writers.
Yeah, everybody loves Raymond. Yeah.

132
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.840
It was literally every show ever and
a lot of them are like really good

133
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.799
shows, and so they're like,
dude, everyone go. And they were

134
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.320
talking about some of the busts that
happened that they knew. There was a

135
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.000
couple of busts that they didn't even
the show didn't even go through or whatever.

136
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.679
But it seems like, yeah,
content obviously has always been a machine,

137
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.679
but now the machine's bigger and like
the turnarounds faster. Yeah, even

138
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.960
with YouTube, even with podcasts like
it creates like your own niche. It

139
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.440
is interesting to see where we may
go. But sports are the one you

140
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.919
just gotta have live. They're never
gonna go away. Most people don't like

141
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.919
watching and recorded. I personally literally
can't. I have to watch sports live.

142
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.039
I don't know why. I just
never want to watch a record I

143
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.840
have. It's not a thing I'm
trying to do. Yeah, yeah,

144
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.200
no one wants to. It started
to like I actually intended to watch the

145
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.639
Oscars the other night and they started
it four. Yeah, and I did

146
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.480
not realize that. So I turned
on the TV at like seven to thirty

147
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.159
and they're over already. Yeah.
Fuck, I thought I was gonna get

148
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.559
at least part of it. I
don't know why that was. What's an

149
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:18.320
evening issue? Coast or East Coast
viewership Snagerman because sports don't really work that

150
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.200
way, no, Like you,
I remember going to Cleveland watching it.

151
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.080
I think I watched the Super Bowl
when you're and that shit's ending at like

152
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.159
fucking midnight. Yeah, you know, like all the games, their game,

153
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.960
their first game of our first game
of the day in the NFL starts

154
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.399
at ten am. There doesn't start
to like two of that for noon.

155
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.759
Yeah, so you're watching football till
one am. Out there, basketball similar

156
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.279
thing, Like obviously they try to
make it work, but basketball games end

157
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.080
here at nine at night. Because
the last game starts six thirty or seven,

158
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.039
that means it's ending over there at
midnight. Yeah. That's why they

159
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:52.039
talk about the East Coast bias for
sports for teams in particular, because a

160
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.960
lot of people on the East Coast
just don't see West Coast teams play yeah

161
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.799
much at all. Yeah, we're
here, you'll get a taste of both.

162
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:58.759
Yeah, we'll get it. We
can watch everything if we want to.

163
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:01.000
Interesting. Yeah, I wonder if
Netflix will move more of that.

164
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.919
I mean this is their first big
one, right, like Mike Tyson,

165
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.480
the name is crazy. They're breaking
down the stats on like some Instagram post

166
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.759
and they're talking like fighting stats and
like life stats, which was cool.

167
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:13.480
You know, they're like twenty four
million Instagram followers, Like I think both

168
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.039
of them have twenty four million each. It's forty eight million followers just between

169
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.039
the two dudes boxing. And I'm
sure they'll get like a big name or

170
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.600
two or medium name on like the
opening card you know they got. They're

171
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.440
gonna have to have some like fucking
is it with KSI is a case?

172
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.519
I shit, probably not right,
I don't think so. I don't know

173
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.840
because KSI Tocard. Yeah, KSI's
best friends or business partners with Jake's brother.

174
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.879
But I know there's conflict still between
that group and Jake himself. Jake

175
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.000
and ks I don't like each other. Yeah, and and like the prime

176
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.759
thing and Jake sponsored by some Celsius. I think there's a bunch of always

177
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.840
been drama. So maybe it isn't
what's their thing called, uh, but

178
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.080
they have their own promotional boxing company
and that's where all the YouTubers go,

179
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.840
and even all the ex sports athletes
wan there right, Like Frank Gore fought

180
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.840
in one. I think all the
NFL, NBA guys that are boxing now

181
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.240
all went to that card or that
promotion. So maybe it's not to do

182
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.960
with Netflix, but you'd assume Netflix, if they're doing a Jake Paul Mike

183
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.720
Tyson will probably grab some celebrities to
open up for him, or at least

184
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.200
athletes somebody famous. Yeah, you
would think. And that stuff is funny.

185
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.879
I think we talked about it here
too. But you remember Celebrity Death

186
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.799
Match on MTV. I do,
Yeah, I mean that's literally just what

187
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.159
all these things are about, the
death part without the animation. Yeah,

188
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.559
I would. I would kind of
like it more if it was like MMA

189
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.080
or bare knuckle, like put your
ass on the line, you know.

190
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.159
Yeah, that's what made like obviously
death Match was yeah, all animated and

191
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.440
like silly, but it's kinda it's
cool to see like your favorite athlete like

192
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.559
bouncing around in there. But if
there's no like risk, yeah, you

193
00:12:48.639 --> 00:13:00.159
know, as a viewer. Apparently
all the Rocky movies and now maybe be

194
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:05.960
all the creed Wins. I know
for sure Creed One Sylvester Stallone mandated that

195
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.519
that everybody that was in a boxing
scene had to take one real shot.

196
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.000
Oh dope, I like that,
and you know, so every every Rocky

197
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.519
movie definitely has that. Yeah,
and then then what the Creed he told

198
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.200
what's his name, Michael B.
Jordan, Michael B. Jordan, Yeah,

199
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.440
that he's got to get out Jerry. Yeah, and so he I'm

200
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.919
sure he did. I'm sure.
Like he seems like a pretty good actor,

201
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.799
you know, like I'm not.
He looks like an athlete. I

202
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.639
don't know how you Yeah, Like, there's no way I'm getting a role

203
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.080
to follow up a Rocky film and
I'm not gonna go like really learn how

204
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.600
to box. Yeah, that'd be
so lame. I've heard stuff like that

205
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.600
too, And I forgot what it
might have been a Rocky, It might

206
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.240
have been something else, maybe like
a Jackie Chan Fuck, I forgot,

207
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.480
but I read an interview where the
guy's like, yeah, man, like

208
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.879
you're gonna have to like really hit
me, Like I'll let you just really

209
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.639
hit me because I want this shot
it might have been a Rocky I forgot

210
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.000
where he's like, yeah, like
really at me, like I want this

211
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.720
to look at I think that there
are several of the boxing films have been

212
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.360
kind of like that. Yeah,
I don't know that, like Raging Bull

213
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.200
was like that particular. Yeah,
maybe Mark wahlbrog One was the Fighter.

214
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.399
It might have been one of those. I forgot. I was reading like

215
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.159
the you know, the post credit
interview type shit and they're like, yeah,

216
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.480
man, like I want it to
look good, so just fucking sock

217
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.480
me. It makes sense. Yeah, you know, and if you are

218
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.440
getting paid ten mil or whatever,
the you know, like you better go

219
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.399
hard. Yeah, there's gotta be
something there. Yeah. I kind of

220
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.320
the worst thing about any sports movie
is if the sports performances are unconvincing.

221
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.200
That's what's really hard for me watching
like football, basketball soccer, because I

222
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.200
don't know enough about boxing. Uh
huh. So like and they cut it

223
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.960
so like epic, they cut it
like an anime. You know, they're

224
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.200
getting a crazy corner shot and it's
moving so fast. But sometimes basketball movies,

225
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.240
football movies will show like a piece
of a game. You know,

226
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.639
they'll show you a good twenty seconds
and you're just like, man, these

227
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.360
guys move like shit, Like it
just really took me out of this this

228
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.039
fucking whatever. You know. Yeah, I like the movie, like probably

229
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.279
one of the most popular basketball movies
ever. Hoosiers is kind of a mixed

230
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.559
bag in that regard. The only
benefit of movies like that, and fuck,

231
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.960
what's the name? I just rewatched
the new one where I think it's

232
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.120
a new Mexico state. It's not
new, but it's semi new. It

233
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.879
was the first team to have five
black people start, and the n C

234
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.039
two A fuck, I forgot the
movie name. It's a pretty good movie

235
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.120
too. The benefit they have is
that it's basketball from the sixties and seventies,

236
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.480
so you don't have to be that
good, right, Like they're dribbling

237
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.559
with one hand and they're it'say with
like baseball, baseball, you can edit

238
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.759
the fuck out of it. Yeah, right, so you can't. You

239
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.440
know, it doesn't matter if they're
athletic, Like you could just kind of

240
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.080
show that you know how to throw, and then they make it look like

241
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.919
you're throwing a bomb. And same
with batting, right you just got to

242
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.639
kind of look athletic when you swing, and then they'll they'll make it look

243
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.600
like the ball went flying. It's
like piece it up and boxing is kind

244
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.919
of like that. I do love
a good sports movie. I feel like

245
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.679
there hasn't been one in a little
while. I haven't watch the new New

246
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.600
Creed. It is not interesting.
Really. That sucks because the first two

247
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.200
are solid. They're not the best
things ever, but they're solid. First

248
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.879
one's really good. I think the
second one is fine. The third one

249
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.720
is boring. That sucks. And
it's not so much that the direction is

250
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.600
just the plotting. It's not fantastic. And you know what's his name?

251
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:29.080
Who got so totally canceledoos in that
movie Christ and the New Yeah, I

252
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:30.240
don't know. It's in the new
one. Supposed to be in a Marvel

253
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:37.799
movie. Wasn't he Yeah yeah he
was. He was Kang Kang Dynasty name

254
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.279
yeah ye yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Nathan Majors yeah yeah yeah, yeah

255
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.720
yeah yeah. Donathan Majors. I've
seen him be pretty good, yeah,

256
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.159
maybe like really good. And he's
he's kind of just going through the motions

257
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.759
in this one. I think it
sucks. I thought, I don't know,

258
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.039
Yeah he got yeaated as Kang.
There's like only one Marvel movie this

259
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.720
year. Yeah, and it's the
Deadpool one, yeah, which I'm sure

260
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.119
it would be good. But normally
they whip out like three a year,

261
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.799
four a year, trying to keep
these chapters rolling. I hear that they

262
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.880
had an entirely different script for three
and then Deadpool. Yeah. It was

263
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.519
probably up in the air, right
because they didn't know the Wolverine situation.

264
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:26.799
Yeah, and with with Marvel Disney
acquiring the right the rights to to Deadpool,

265
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.799
they were able to redo the Oh
my goodness, why is that thing

266
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.880
he's continuing to change? Yeah,
I wonder, uh, yeah, because

267
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.119
the Disney is probably really iffy to
do a rated R and get it over

268
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.880
to Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, and
I think they had to just they had

269
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.119
to throw their hands up and say, okay, this is this is what

270
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.440
it is? That their first radar
movie ever. No, I don't think

271
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.119
so, but it's but most of
the stuff that they did was that was

272
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.359
more adult used to be under Touchstone
Pictures or they shifted it to Hulu.

273
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:02.079
Interesting. I watched that Echo show
which was on Hulu and Disney plus The

274
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.200
Hero Yeah yeah, yeah, man, that one was not that was a

275
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:08.119
rough go. I haven't been very
impressed with any of the superhero shows of

276
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:14.720
New You know, I like,
I really wanted to like a falcon in

277
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.680
the Winter Soldier, but they kept
them apart too much of the time.

278
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.359
Yeah, it was all right.
I couldn't even watch most of them.

279
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.480
Loki was pretty good. Yeah,
yeah, both the Loki. Yeah.

280
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.799
I didn't even watch a second.
I just watched Finally Dug Down because my

281
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.000
adhd dug Down and watched Dune.
Do you watch one? Yeah, the

282
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.279
first? Yeah, I saw the
second one. Yeah, good. Second

283
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.680
one is good, but it feels
a little bit like scenes from Dune because

284
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.079
they were trying to keep it from
being like four hours long. Yeah.

285
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.640
Yeah, they're pacing and they I
mean they cut out big sections of you

286
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:49.400
know, of subplot and stuff interesting, and it's still like the last forty

287
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:56.720
minutes or so, just like hurtling
towards this this you know, where they

288
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.079
need to be in this in the
fine scenes sure of of the movie and

289
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:06.000
it you know, spoiler alert,
how big of a spoiler? Don't kill

290
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.200
me, Jim, Well, the
story is clearly not over by the end,

291
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.039
right move. Isn't it just one
book? It's one book that they

292
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.160
made three movies right there. No, it's gonna be it's two books that

293
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.880
it will be three movies, okay, because the next one, but I

294
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.079
knew it wasn't three books three movies. Yeah, we're we're nearly the end

295
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:30.559
of the original Dune book and it'll
go to Children of Dune, providing they

296
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.440
get the money to do it.
But I can't see why they wouldn't.

297
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.200
No, yeah, this one's going
crazy. Everyone says it's yeah tomatoes.

298
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.759
Yeah, people are going crazy.
People. It is funny because I grew

299
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.839
up such a Star Wars fan and
I had heard about Dune. But yeah,

300
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.200
my dad wasn't like a big sci
fi guy, so like, I

301
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.359
wasn't like raised on the ship.
But then you start to hear, oh

302
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.039
a lot of Star Wars based on
Dune, a lot of Star Wars based

303
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.960
And then I'm watching Dune one.
I'm like, oh, it's just fucking

304
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.720
Star Wars, fucking Star Wars.
Besides, their swords don't look as cool.

305
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.720
Yeah, and Frank, a lot
of mushrooms. Man, it's very

306
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.039
clear. Yeah, that's right,
and it's just yeah, the fucking worm.

307
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.559
I'm like, dude, that's literally
the fucking worm from from Jedi Return

308
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.519
of the Jedi that fucking everyone gets
eaten in, Like it's literally an entecl

309
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.960
so on the nose. It's funny. It's the Starlac Pit. Yeah,

310
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.559
yeah, it's so crazy. It
is good. It good, And even

311
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.240
Dune one that was pretty slow,
maybe even slower than Star Wars. Oh

312
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:23.400
yeah, it doesn't move very fast. Yeah sure. And there's not a

313
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.359
lot of action, yeah, very
sci fi, And I don't mind because

314
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.319
I do just like fucking outer space
shit, but there, I mean,

315
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.160
yeah, there is action, bet
not a ton Yeah. And yeah,

316
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.119
and I've like I've watched every version
of Dune that they've made, Yeah,

317
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.640
because they made one in the seventies
eighties, right, uh yeah, David

318
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.039
Lynch made one, and then there
was a TV one that was for mini

319
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.880
series for sci fi that actually kind
of covered more ground. Yeah, I

320
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.960
feel like stuff like that would still
be good. Like obviously there's the Mandalorian

321
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.559
and Star Wars type shit, but
like those are pretty good, you know,

322
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.640
like why wouldn't you like why isn't
there? And I guess they just

323
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:03.000
did make like a prequel to the
Ring style show, right yeah? And

324
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:04.680
I only watched like one episode.
It wasn't that bad, but you would

325
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.079
think, like, bring the main
characters in there. You have the money.

326
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.039
Now. I think they're doing it
with Harry Potter. I think Homeboy

327
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:11.319
might be in it, right.
I think it's about Harry being in an

328
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.960
adult No, it's retelling of the
whole thing. No way. Yeah,

329
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.759
it's a TV series based on the
books. Well that that okay, that's

330
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.759
still decent. It is Harry.
Yeah, it's Harry, Like it's not

331
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.920
it's not like the Fantastic Beast thing. Yeah, yeah, that's what I

332
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.799
mean. Like I feel like they
just start to sprout out too hard all

333
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.640
these big series, Like these big
series are dope because we fall in love

334
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.319
with the main character. Right now, you have the money, Like Netflix

335
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.319
is a giant beast, and so
is HBO and so is Hulu. Like

336
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.400
that, you have the money now
because back in the Amazon, right Apple,

337
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.240
particularly because they don't care how many
people watch it. Yeah, they're

338
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:52.880
just collected data. Like back in
the day, sequels were limited because of

339
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.480
money, I feel yeah, and
then there were sprout off shows that would

340
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.880
go to TV based on a movie
or something or Power Rangers or the opposite.

341
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.839
You get the show and then they
build a movie. But It's always

342
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.960
like it always felt like a B
class version of it, Like grab fucking

343
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.200
Frodo and make a fucking movie about
Frodo or a TV show about Frodo.

344
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.319
Yeah, you know, like I'm
gonna watch it, Like I don't want

345
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.400
to watch Frodo's third cousin, sister's
neighbor. Well that was the problem with

346
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.240
the with the Star Wars sequels,
yeah, because you know, we wanted

347
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.960
to see what, you know,
Han, Luke, and Lea where it

348
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.359
was going, and we never got
a single fucking scene of all three of

349
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.640
them. It was a lot of
Ray yeah. Yeah. And if they

350
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.559
tied it in, if Ray actually
was well there's a movie coming with her,

351
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.839
Oh really, yeah, you know
what I mean. But if she

352
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:47.640
was Luke's bastard daughter, now we
have some tie ins, yeah, or

353
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.200
a clone or something yeah yeah,
yeah, something, a gender switched clone

354
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.440
with something, yeah, yeah,
something. There had to be a closer

355
00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:00.400
tie Leya's fucking cousin, you know, but but you felt this connected.

356
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:07.160
Yeah, there's a there's an exhibit
at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Wife

357
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.079
and I spent the weekend there a
few weeks ago. At in Tan Francisco

358
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.920
and on Thursdays after six o'clock you
can go to the Exploratorium, which is

359
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:22.440
normally like swamped with kids and it's
just adultacy teening up. They serve drinks,

360
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.720
you know, when they serve them. You can buy them whenever,

361
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.519
and you can see the whole place. But one of the exhibits is mass

362
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:33.559
of massive people. It's like a
group of people standing together with just their

363
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:41.880
faces and it's all genetic variations of
Chelsea Manning. She was like a whistleblower

364
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.799
and they like took her. She
I think that she began life as as

365
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.720
not Chelsea. They took Charlie.
There's something I don't know they took.

366
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.119
They took the Jeens, well something
human, yes, human? Yeah,

367
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:03.200
And then and then they they did
like twelve or fifteen variations based on just

368
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.559
the same genetic material to get all
these different faces. It's crazy. That

369
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:14.720
sounds creepy as hell. It is
in a way that sounds like what are

370
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.839
they calling a Kamara? Oh where? Yeah? Whereas just like switch genetics

371
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:25.839
everywhere? Shit, that's crazy.
Yes, right here, I've heard that

372
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.480
name. Don't recognize her? Oh
shit, Like I don't know if any

373
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.519
one of them is no, that
is really creepy. That is some like

374
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.880
West World looking creepyh it is for
sure. Yeah, like, how do

375
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.440
we not have I think I was
talking about this with barton them. How

376
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:44.000
do we not have a real Westworld? Yet? Our bots are getting pretty

377
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:48.279
good. I imagine that, like, probably in your lifetime will have something

378
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.079
right and Dubai probably maybe not mine. But Dubai's going crazy. Man.

379
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.559
I get all this because I'm like, uh, I'm not like a star

380
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.920
war or a Disney adult, you
know, like that that negative term,

381
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:02.759
you know where I'm fucking wearing ears
and shit. Geo makes fun of me.

382
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.720
But I do love and you know, I love theme parks because I

383
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:08.279
like the art direction and I like
worlds, and that's why I like sci

384
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.960
fi and fantasy movies. I like
world building. Yeah, I like not

385
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.640
being here, you know, and
I think it's cool when you start to

386
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.200
do that. And that's why I
love Dune. Right, you're off somewhere,

387
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.799
who knows where the fuck you are? So I follow a bunch of

388
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:23.039
that bullshit on my Instagram, So
my discoverial page, we'll get random stuff.

389
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.079
Dubai's making some crazy shit. I
think. I think it's Dubai.

390
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.480
I don't quote me. They're making
a city that's based it's a city that's

391
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.400
based on esports, so it's supposed
to be the esports capital of the world.

392
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.640
And it's literally a capital. Like
it's literally a world, it's literally

393
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:47.200
a city. They're making the world's
biggest theme park that is floating, so

394
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.160
it's on the water, Oh my
god. And I don't know if it's

395
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.319
a water park. I think it's
just floating on the water. It's like

396
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.960
a cruise ship, but it's not. It's all buildings and craziness. Then

397
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:03.759
I think it's Dubai that's making a
dizzy kneeland ish but it's all Ferrari whow.

398
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.960
So Ferrari is obviously making it or
part of it. So I think

399
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.039
it's rides and food and all this
shit based on just Ferrari. I'm like,

400
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.359
dude, that's fucking sick. That
sounds yeah, that sounds so sick,

401
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.359
and like there's only renderings and ship
but all of it looks crazy,

402
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.799
and I'm pretty sure it's all maybe
Saudi Arabia, maybe not exactly Dubai,

403
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:25.599
but all in that. Dude,
I'm like, dude, that's fucking crazy.

404
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.079
But yeah, how do we not
have a West World? And you're

405
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.240
right, it's got to be soon. If we got chat GBT, we

406
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.599
have Siri and we have these robots
that can like walk upstairs, right,

407
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.759
well, we got to be eighty
percent of there. Abu Dhabi Ferrari,

408
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:45.720
Yeah yeah, damn, that's gotta
be close to Dubai, right my Middle

409
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.960
East knowledge, yeah, my Middle
East is like the only place I don't

410
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:56.720
know that way. Ferrari World Yas
Island, yes, queen, just just

411
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.559
it is United rod is Yeah,
yeah, yeah, right up the street

412
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.279
from Dubai. A quick little just
a jaunt up across the close map it

413
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.960
it really does look close. A
day's right on your camel, bro.

414
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.359
I've heard those camels are the biggest
scam in tourism. I have heard that

415
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.000
as well. I've heard you hop
on them bitches, and they won't let

416
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.839
you off. I swear to God, I forgot who told me, but

417
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.839
someone said, like, don't go
on the camel, say no, because

418
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.240
you'll hop on that and they won't
let you off, and they start charging

419
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.440
you by the hour. Next you
know, you're in the fucking desert and

420
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.480
you're just stopped by yourself and you
need to. I've heard that. Yeah,

421
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:34.640
I forgot who told me. I
was like, fuck, that sounds

422
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:41.079
so scary. That's scary. Yeah, unrelated, but related. I just

423
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.880
one hour drive. One hour drive. We're going to Ferrari World that We're

424
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.119
going to esports Land and then I'm
going to be on the water. What

425
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.680
is that the Red Sea? That's
not the Red Sea is more North Sea.

426
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:55.839
I off Arabia. Maybe the Dead
Seed that's more North too. Persian

427
00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:03.359
Golf, Persian Gold and Gulf of
Omen. I've heard it' school over there,

428
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:04.640
man, I do kind of want
to go. Well, it's hot,

429
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:07.680
but yeah, yeah, now but
their tech. You probably have ac,

430
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.240
your cement probably a yeah, you
probably walk barefoot over there. Who

431
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.559
knows what they're doing. It's floating
around you. Yeah, yeah, it's

432
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:21.000
like outdoor ac somehow. They probably
haven't swear. I'm having trouble finding it

433
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:26.279
now. But you know that that
Paul Thomas Anderson Leonardo DiCaprio movie that was

434
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.640
filming here. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. They spent about a million dollars

435
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:37.599
on hotel rooms. I bet,
and the the calculated value to the community

436
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:42.599
of all the all the money they
spent about five million dollars in the course

437
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.279
of a kill a couple of weeks. Yeah, I was in Vegas for

438
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.720
most some of it because it was
like two months ago. But a lot

439
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.039
of us right next to my house. Yeah, there's a lot of us

440
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.240
are like the courthouse, Yeah,
which was interesting. And then we had

441
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.799
a day pass uh in here that
was staying I think at the sawyer and

442
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:00.200
he said it was always blocked all
off, like I think they were probably

443
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.400
staying there. And he walked up
the street and he's like, yeah,

444
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:04.039
there's cops. Ever it was all
like shut off. I was like,

445
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.839
oh yeah, because it was cool
to see you on Instagram all the different

446
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.559
places they're filming. I saw like
a film thing of like a couple alleys

447
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:14.880
by my house because I could tell
by the artwork on the wall. Then

448
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.279
I Teana Taylor's in it. It
would be interesting. But what I guess

449
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.759
we'll know the timeline now because that
probably comes down what two years I imagine

450
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.279
probably next year, yeah, maybe
next summer. Yeah, I don't know

451
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.759
for sure because it doesn't even officially
have a like names title. Yeah,

452
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.559
it gives you like a very loose
synopsis when you google it and the and

453
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.720
the book that it's based on is
not one that was actually very popular,

454
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.480
so they probably had to do a
pretty serious adaptation to Yeah, and then

455
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.519
out there Michael Sarah Won that filmed
a while ago. That would be interesting

456
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:48.359
too. Oh yeah, that should
probably be soon. Yeah. You know

457
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:53.519
the movie that got like nothing out
of the oscars. One of them is

458
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:59.279
that Killers of the Flower Moon movie. Speaking of DiCaprio, Yeah, yeah,

459
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.880
I haven't seen the movie, but
I listened to the book. Ooh

460
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:08.279
that It's not bad. It's just
it's dry. The first two thirds of

461
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.200
it are so dry. It's sci
fi e right, No, no,

462
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:19.240
no, it's it's about the Osage
Indians in the twenties in Oklahoma, basically

463
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.680
just getting ripped off constantly by the
white people. Yeah. Yeah, and

464
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.160
some of the white people are married
to the Indian Indian folks, the o

465
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.640
Sage folks, and they're still getting
ripped off. Yeah stuck. Yeah,

466
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.359
interesting now, I never saw it. I haven't seen that many movies like

467
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:37.599
I used to. I used to
go to the movie theater like every Tuesday,

468
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.000
just go sit down and bank some
U. But there hasn't been that

469
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:42.480
many movies either. The last thing
I saw was Dune, and I think

470
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:47.920
I saw one thing in between between
Dune and Oppenheimer last summer. Yeah,

471
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.480
I still haven't seen Oppenheimer. I
think the last thing I saw was like

472
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.640
Guardian's The Galaxy three is probably really
yeah, like nine months ago more.

473
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.119
I love movies though I do too, and it's just a kind of guy

474
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.799
out of the habit of going.
I think there's just been less of them,

475
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:02.400
right, so there definitely have been
less of him, so less scream

476
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.440
to us. Yeah you feel like
not going? Yeah, Oppenheimer, I

477
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.559
still need to watch for sure.
It's very good. It is also quite

478
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:15.319
long. It I mean it's three
hours long. And then Glad eat or

479
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:21.599
two. That's my ship, Denzel
Baby glad to Danzel still glad. It

480
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:22.559
picks up at the end of it. We were wrong. I googled it

481
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.359
for a while. It picks up
at the end of it, and yeah,

482
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.359
I don't know. Pedro Pascal is
still in it. Yeah, I

483
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.960
think it'll be good. Denzel did
can't go wrong? Is it a commtist

484
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:38.880
kid who becomes maybe yeah, yeah, might be about him after he yeah

485
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:44.079
eyes, yeah, they still crow
killed him. Except that's not what really

486
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.400
happened in the real world, but
it just doesn't tell us good of a

487
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:53.000
story. I just I really wonder
whether the director, writer, director has

488
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.960
it anymore because those alien movies.
Scott really Scott, he's alien movies.

489
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.640
It sucked you. Yeah, yeah, you can't be young either, right,

490
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.559
No, I think he's in the
eighties or something. Yeah, you

491
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:07.480
never know, Yeah, you never
know, dude. There's a bunch of

492
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:15.079
cool shit coming. Civil War that
looks crazy. I saw the trailer to

493
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:22.960
Civil War before June two in the
IMAX, crazy, right. I almost

494
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:27.720
had to leave. I got so
anxious just out of the blue. It's

495
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.960
like, oh, I'm so comfortable. I don't want to I mean,

496
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.559
it's totally implausible because California floor are
never going to work together on anything,

497
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.319
particularly a civil war. But like
the base idea is almost too real.

498
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.160
Yeah, the like the violence of
it was hard to watch. Yeah,

499
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:46.200
and it's obviously so close to home. Yeah yeah, something could happen and

500
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:51.160
not that, but something some variation. Yeah. Yeah. And in the

501
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.599
when I saw the trailer was right
when they were like talking about who could

502
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:57.400
be on the ballot or not,
Like a bunch of weird stuff was happening

503
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.440
in real life at the same time. That was like, oh, here

504
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.759
we go, there we go,
grab my gun. Yeah, heading out

505
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:07.480
to Hawaii or something scary. Yeah, it would be interesting. I've never

506
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.559
had that visceral reaction to a trailer
before ever. Yeah, ever, But

507
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.680
it's like my I was just like, and it is shot good like that.

508
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.440
It's a good trailer and it's got
hell the cast too. Yeah,

509
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.640
And like I was just I was
like breathing funny and whatever. Yeah,

510
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:28.160
speaking and breathing funny and feeling weird. There's this guy that I follow on

511
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:36.039
on Instagram called the Sleepy Paramedic.
He's literally a paramedic in Texas. Yeah,

512
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:37.880
he's got a pretty big follow He's
got probably like four hunde thousand followers

513
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.359
or something. Now you fall asleep. What's that disease called? No,

514
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.160
No, it's just that he's it's
it's from being on shift for for twenty

515
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:51.680
four hours plus or whatever. And
he had he'd been up for like thirty

516
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:57.839
hours and had already had two energy
drinks and then someone said, hey,

517
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.680
there's a there's a bang in the
fridge if you want it, And so,

518
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:06.519
you know, the three hundred milligram
caffeine bang plus all the other shit

519
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:09.679
that's in an energy drink sounds like
a Tuesday to me. He uh,

520
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.960
he drinks the thing and he's like, oh man, my heart feels weird.

521
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.960
And so, you know, he's
at work, so he gets hooked

522
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.800
up to the EKG machine and he's
in a fib so basically the top of

523
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:27.320
his heart is doing, screaming,
is doing you know, it's it's it's

524
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:31.440
not beating regularly. And he said
he ended up pounding on his chest,

525
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:37.800
his own chest and got himself to
convert. So go back to a normal

526
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.760
science rhythm. But like he's like, just be careful with the energy drinks

527
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:46.559
because you don't know. He's like
thirty seven, so like spitting distance of

528
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:50.800
your age. And just like this
is why I can't drink him anymore because

529
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.400
they make me feel weird. Yeah. I think I'm just so adapt to

530
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.199
it now. Like the one thing
that I do always feel confident with is

531
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.360
my cardio is crazy, Like I
do almost hour cardio every day. Yeah,

532
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:02.440
not that that'll fix everything, but
you know what I mean. Yeah,

533
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:06.159
Like, even even though you're a
paramedic or even though you're whatever,

534
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.400
it doesn't mean you're actually moving much. It doesn't necessarily you know what I

535
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.000
mean, because you're sitting in a
van. Yeah, and then when you're

536
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.719
at home, and then I couldn't
work that job for sure. And now,

537
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:16.719
in hindsight, although I wanted to
be like an emptier firefighter grown up,

538
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:21.760
like the lack of sleep would literally
kill me. Yeah. I literally

539
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.679
turned into a different human. I
can feel it. This guy's is pretty

540
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:30.400
interesting because he's like he set up
some deals to pay for people to go

541
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:38.039
to to EMT school at school,
and then another school approached him and with

542
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:45.440
like seventy percent off for of tuition
for like four people or whatever. He's

543
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:50.519
like they ask him to pick those
people. I just heard a news segment

544
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.039
literally like three days ago that how
how hard the country's hit with a lack

545
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:58.280
of firefighters. Yeah, it's a
big it's a big problem. Like we're

546
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.320
gonna have more fires if your people
fight them. Yeah, that means that

547
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.239
more stuff is just going to get
burned down because there's a why and all

548
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:06.840
the other stuff, right, like
heart attacks all that. Firefighters deal with

549
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:08.639
it all right. They head up
to everything, and if there's lack of

550
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:12.599
firefighters, chances are there's a lack
of cops. Chances are there's a lack

551
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:15.639
of EMTs. Yeah, it could
be an issue. I didn't understand the

552
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:21.639
difference between an AMT and paramedic before
this guy explained it pretty well. I

553
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:23.400
think some of it depends on county
too. Yeah, Like there are different

554
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:30.119
rules in different places. But but
EMTs essentially like they like stabilize and move

555
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.119
a body, you know, yeah, ye, get you to a hospital

556
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:36.320
where you don't die, and get
your paramedic within their scope of practice can

557
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.320
do all kinds of stuff. More
nurse like, yeah, a little more

558
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:42.199
nurse like. Yeah, like they're
actually their scope of practice is a little

559
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.719
broader, I think than most nurses, because most nurses work in situations where

560
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.760
there's a doctor right there. Yeah, paramedic has a bunch of standing orders

561
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:51.280
from from the medical director. Yeah. If you're like bleeding or having a

562
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:52.800
heart attack in a car crash,
yeah, they can cut you open and

563
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.800
do shit. They can do what
they never need to save you, to

564
00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:59.480
save you. Yeah. Yeah,
where an EMT gets you on some oxygen

565
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.679
and rushes you to hotel certain IV
hospital, I think, uh yeah.

566
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.719
And the firefighter laws depend on county
and shit too. Some you have to

567
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:09.159
be an EMT, some you don't. I think a lot of it just

568
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.880
depends on personnel. Like if the
county has a bunch of EMTs, then

569
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.840
the firefighter could just be kind of
a fire guy. So you could you

570
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:17.880
would show up to a call with
an EMT and you don't have to worry

571
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:21.440
about it. That's the job I
need. But I think Sacramento you got

572
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:23.639
to be an EMT, and I
think you have to work as an EMT

573
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:28.159
to even become fire I might be
wrong with that, but that's the stuff

574
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.840
I don't want to do. I
want to fight fires and say, like

575
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.119
pull people out of flames and shit, but I don't want to like,

576
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.480
you don't do a cool job.
I don't want to see bleeding. Yeah,

577
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.079
you know, like I don't want
to do. I don't want to

578
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:40.760
be a doctor. I never and
it doesn't really gross me out. I

579
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:45.079
used to be better with it,
but I don't love injuries and shit.

580
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.280
You know, Yeah, I wouldn't
mind. But like running into a house

581
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.400
on fire, I think I could
still do, even at my age.

582
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.400
I think I could muster that up
and pull a dog o and a grandma

583
00:37:54.400 --> 00:38:04.719
off on my shoulder just shifts more
toward our vertical. A lot of stuff

584
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:10.159
over the over the Arnold Weekend that
we did not attend. You, did

585
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.480
you have any fomo about any of
that stuff? Did you like? I

586
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:19.880
regret not going. I used to
struggle with fomo a shit ton, and

587
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.119
then I would realize that I would
ground myself in moments and say, I

588
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.679
actually don't like being here, and
it just like killed my fomo. So

589
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.920
that's how I became antisocial. Like
most places i'm at, I'm like,

590
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:36.159
I don't love this, and so
like the idea is always cool than it

591
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:40.480
is where some people are social creatures. So fomo, although like a phenomena,

592
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:44.880
is real, like they would really
rather be there. Yeah, there's

593
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.800
not a lot of places i'd rather
be. If I see Ferrari World or

594
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:51.280
like a beach in Hawaii, I
get a little fomo. But uh,

595
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.800
because some of it and it is
fun and there's a lot of people there

596
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.000
that I love and I would like
to see. It is still work for

597
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:00.159
me, and I've done it for
long, like I always have to be

598
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:05.280
on and I'm although we're hanging out, we're still networking and it is still

599
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.280
like a portion of work and I
just feel like I've worked so long.

600
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:13.440
Yeah, I don't really a film
when well, when we were there in

601
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:19.239
twenty eighteen, independently, I walked
away saying, I'm never going into this

602
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.440
again. Yeah, it's just totally
not worth it. And then we went

603
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.280
last year because Avik was competing and
I had a pretty good time. Yeah

604
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:30.000
it was fun, but I still
have kind of felt over it. And

605
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.840
really what it comes down to is
just not seeing the people. Like one

606
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.840
of the other opportunities. You have
to run into a lot of these folks.

607
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:39.199
That's all it is. It's industry
stuff and it is cool, right,

608
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:43.639
So you meet new people and there
are cool people. For as many

609
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:50.840
people who are you know, fitfluencers
or whatever who are are not genuine people,

610
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:55.840
there are plenty of other folks who
are genuine people who some of them

611
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.760
have a little bit of celebrities,
some of them don't whatever, and they're

612
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.079
it's you know, interesting, cool
to be around, and and they're to

613
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:07.760
have a pretty good time. Yeah, And I do think obviously other industries

614
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:13.480
have like conferences and zoom calls and
masterminds and all that that you touch in

615
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.039
with the same people, whether they
work for your company or not. Those

616
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.519
are our only opportunities, you know. That is that is how the fitness

617
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:23.159
industry moves if you're part of it
at all, but let alone the online

618
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:27.400
fitness industry. Yeah, you tap
in at the Olympia, at the La

619
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.440
Fitex bow at the Arnold, So
yeah you do miss a piece, but

620
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.719
yes, just too much. And
I'm sure we'll go again if Subos competes

621
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:38.400
there av or somebody. But I'm
not screaming to go. Maybe the Olympia

622
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:42.519
just because it's in Vegas and I
can drive that is it back to Vegas?

623
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:45.039
It was in Florida. Yeah,
moved back last year. Moved back

624
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.440
last year, so I might do
that. Guy just walk around, I

625
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.880
can I can see that. And
Vegas is so close, so I can

626
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:52.559
see that. There's a there's a
podcast conference like two weeks that I could

627
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.440
go to in l A. And
I and I've been very up in the

628
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:58.960
air about it, just like you
know, sometimes you need to be more

629
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.480
excited about what you're doing. But
like it's also there's the same stuff,

630
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:07.880
right, you know, it's the
same stuff, and it's even more stressful

631
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.400
because you don't know many people,
right, Yeah, And so yeah,

632
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:15.039
the beginning steps of networking, like
you really have to be on Yeah.

633
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:20.679
Yeah, it's tiring, and we
are not in that zone. We're constantly

634
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:23.639
looking for, you know, influencer
people to be on the show, and

635
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:29.480
what we I've said before, we
get pitched people who are trying to be

636
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.880
influencers all the time. Yeah.
Yeah, there is that bubble you even

637
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:36.440
mentioned before of like podcasts, and
I've seen a lot of hate on it

638
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:40.280
actually on Twitter lately and like threads
where people are like, damn, like

639
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:44.079
we don't need more podcasts. Why
does everyone start a podcast? But that's

640
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.239
like rotation with everything, right,
Like they said that with YouTube channels in

641
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:52.199
twenty sixteen seventeen, there's only like
twenty successful ones, but everyone's trying to

642
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.840
do it. It's the same thing
happened with podcasts. You saw a couple

643
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:57.840
of people with success, and then
everyone wants to start one because it is

644
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:00.840
free, cheap and easy, so
you try to like the entry is easy,

645
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:05.199
being successful is obviously a little more
difficult, a lot more challenging.

646
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.000
Yeah, it, and so I
think that's all that streaming is the same

647
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.239
thing. I was streaming on twitch
and ship in like twenty fifteen twenty sixteen.

648
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.320
Now, like everyone's trying to be
a streamer because that's the coolest shit,

649
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.880
But like doesn't mean you're gonna be
successful. It doesn't mean it'll make

650
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.119
a living or even have a positive
impact. So I think that's that's all

651
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.880
this shit. That's you know,
that's really just one of my gripes is

652
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:30.840
people complaining about stuff that doesn't affect
them in any way, right, Like

653
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:32.239
it's a big problem. It doesn't
bug me. Like, I don't care

654
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:37.000
how many people have podcasts. It's
yeah, the market's very deluded right now.

655
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.159
But I also know that it's hard
to keep going and most people won't.

656
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:43.079
Yeah, So like it doesn't really
matter how many people start, it

657
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:45.920
matter how many people finish. Yeah, yeah, if you know whatever,

658
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:50.320
finishing looks like, yeah, how
many downloads you have a zero? Shit?

659
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:54.760
Yeah yeah. And you know there's
ae we sort of have done a

660
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:59.199
little bit of this ourselves, the
narrow casting where you choose your audience and

661
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:04.039
then you go forward. You know, you're not trying to do the broad

662
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.440
appeal and make everybody happy, which
I think we've talked about before, kind

663
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:12.840
of makes for shitty influencer podcasts when
you're constantly, you know, chasing the

664
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.440
latest fad stuff and you know,
pseudoscience, and you're gonna interview duds or

665
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:21.400
you're gonna have repeat interviews. That's
on every other podcast. Yeah, last

666
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.400
piece that of my fitness news.
I was scoring on Twitter, and Twitter

667
00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:27.960
ads aren't as common. I feel
like, you know, like you'll get

668
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.119
some random shit and you'll notice like, oh, this is like clearly trying

669
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:35.159
to sell me a film roller.
But a video of Liver King popped up

670
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:38.719
and he's training some other guy and
then I read it and it was an

671
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:43.599
AD and I don't know if he
has a new YouTube series or a new

672
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.920
like TV show he's trying to pitch, but it basically felt like he was

673
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:52.599
training someone to be another gladiator Liver
King and there's another dude with long hair

674
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:57.079
doing like his like sled pole and
he's like, this is the only guy

675
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.559
that made it through the next fucking
I think you said gladiator. I don't

676
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.880
know what term used. And he's
just training some like slightly skinnier version of

677
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.840
hymns than taller. Yeah, like
lit No, he looked like the same.

678
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:12.480
He looked like the same dude,
long ass hair, scragg Lee,

679
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.400
probably a tough son of a bitch, but like, who knows what they're

680
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.159
doing. They're just pulling sleds like
in the forest. I was like,

681
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:21.400
this is a crazy ad, Like, I don't know what you're You're trying

682
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:23.280
to stay relevant so hard, bro, Like you add your second man,

683
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:28.199
you should have capitalized. Yeah,
I asked the question a lot. Who's

684
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.320
this for? Yeah? Who's this
for? I mean, I do think

685
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:37.960
there is a large amount of people
that like fuel, they can't be tough,

686
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.599
and like you need that extreme motivation
to try to find that. Right,

687
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:45.360
That's why the Gogins and the juckle
Wilnecks are popular, because I mean

688
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.639
they are badasses. And then and
then there's certain people that are so stuck

689
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.559
in like a corporate, suburbian world
and they feel they have some animalistic,

690
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:53.960
primal shit to let out. And
I get it, and we've just had

691
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:57.800
it because of powerlifting, right,
Like it's a mini version. But there's

692
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.880
a time you can scream and laugh
and be a kid again and get a

693
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:05.199
little aggressive with some weights. And
you know, I understand ninety nine percent

694
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.719
of people don't have that. They're
not playing any sports anymore. They're reading

695
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:10.519
the newspaper, going to work,
having dinner with their kids, and that's

696
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:14.960
it. They have no outlet to
have like a I don't know if aggression

697
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:15.760
is the right word, but yeah, something, you know, a little

698
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:19.800
something and even just like yeah,
construction, yeah, anything like that's a

699
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.719
little something, like a little bit
of like like lack of a better term,

700
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.320
like primal shit, like a little
bit of like man shit, like

701
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:30.519
you need a little bit and modern
America doesn't really allow that, so I

702
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:34.119
understand the need. And he's all
jacked, right, he's naked and jagged,

703
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:36.760
so every dude looks up to that. I don't know, I got

704
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.199
a pee, yeah, I mean
too, yeah, just to put a

705
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:45.239
cap on it. I wish there
was some way to interface with these people

706
00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:52.199
that we like having to go to
fucking yeah or do zoo like zoom just

707
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.280
isn't that good or fun? No? No, yeah, one net who

708
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.880
knows. Well, we'll see.
Maybe there's more exposer or casual ones that

709
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:00.599
I guess. The other thing,
too, is that they're so big,

710
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:05.320
like maybe if they are smaller ones, well that part of the yeah,

711
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.280
part of the issue is that they
are just too many people, right,

712
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.920
So part of the part of the
reason that it's so tiring is that you

713
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:13.719
have to actually be on for so
many folks. Yeah, and then your

714
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:16.199
interactions with the people you like are
quick or maybe surface level, just because

715
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:20.239
you're both busy, right, because
they're they got people with demanding there,

716
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.280
they're talking people who are actually working
booths, right Yeah, or yeah,

717
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.679
you got other ship planned business meetings
and photo shoots in between. So it

718
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.880
does become hectic, but maybe there'll
be more events that are smaller and more

719
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:32.119
casual popping up. Who knows.
Powerlifting meets are still kind of like that,

720
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:35.800
They're kind of fun. You gonna
see some homies are familiar faces,

721
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:37.920
like going we went to Bart's meet
the other week. It was kind of

722
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:39.440
like that. You know, it's
more low key version of that where you

723
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:43.840
can actually have a real conversation,
like I gotta chat with Kiko for a

724
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.239
good amount, or if I saw
him at the Arnold, it'd be like

725
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.400
a fist bump and a goodbye.
So that's better. Yeah, we'll see

726
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:52.760
ladies and gentlemen. New episode Onnesday, Frida m Sel, the Mic three,
