00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:14.519
Welcome to This is Thanksgiving week.
When you're seeing you're hearing this, this
2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:21.519
is Thanksgiving week. Happy Thanksgiving kids. Yeah, Mike's away, I'm away.
3
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.839
I'm here a Formula one. That
shit's going crazy, like multiple ways.
4
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.600
So the show went bananas in the
pandemic. Yeah, so now they
5
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.840
think Formula one is gonna be hot
in America. Yeah. I think they
6
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.640
did one maybe Florida, for sure, in Texas. I think it had
7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.079
some success maybe too. Then they
did this one in Vegas and they're gonna
8
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.799
do it on the strip. I
don't know how much money. They spent
9
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.320
trillions of dollars fucking repaving the thing. They built a whole stands around the
10
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.200
whole strip. Yeah, I saw
it being built last month. Then prices
11
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.920
skyrocketed, They like doubled over the
last couple of weeks. There's still regular
12
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.599
tickets for sale, and the resale
tickets have like got cut in half of
13
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:15.079
the retail crazy cheap, interesting,
but like the rich cats are still coming.
14
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:22.439
Vegas had to like manage all their
small like executive airports with their international
15
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.319
airport because they're going to have more
private jets than they've ever had in Vegas
16
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.840
in one weekend and make sure they
have enough fuel for all of them,
17
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.719
and like landing for all of them
and parking for all of them. Why
18
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.599
that nightmare? Yeah? Because I
imagine, Oh shit, there's a spider
19
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.400
floating right in between me and Sea
Mass. Oh no, get at Sea
20
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:45.359
Bass, save me. Do you
see it? My dude's creeping. I
21
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.719
thought it was just dust at first, and this dude is just swanging from
22
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.079
the sky. So yeah, Like, I got such mixed reviews all that.
23
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.760
What's going to happen because I'm flying
in Oh shit, do you get
24
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.120
it? Yeah? He got it. I'm flying the day before. When
25
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:00.879
I heard tickets are like two hundred
bucks, I was like, shit,
26
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.719
maybe I go. I've had friends
that go. One of our members went
27
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.199
in Europe, said it was amazing
by Sean's older brother. My best friend
28
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:09.960
said he went, I think in
Europe and he said it was fucking sick.
29
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.639
My best friend was turned into a
huge Formula one fan the last maybe
30
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.719
six or seven years of his life. He went to these things. I
31
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.400
never went with him. I never
could make it. We're only Europe,
32
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.120
right, yeah essentially? Yeah?
And then yeah, so I'm like,
33
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.960
shit, do I go just for
the experience. Probably not, but the
34
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.319
thought is there. Other thought is
I went to our brand new we're trying
35
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.719
to build like our entertainment here in
sacrament Al, right, so we have
36
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.840
a brand new stadium that's five years
old now sick like that. Yeah,
37
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.800
pretty new for the league, all
TechEd out, cool whatever if you guys
38
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.680
watch basketball to like the Bean Building
and all that, a big hotel next
39
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.000
to it, restaurants, etcetera,
et cetera. It used to be a
40
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.360
downtown outdoor mall that then didn't get
so nice, and now they're trying to
41
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.280
make nice again. And then it
leads into kind of our entertainment district,
42
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.240
which is our K Street, which
needs some work but it's on to come
43
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.319
up, for sure. But there's
a very new sports bar, Tom sports
44
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.400
Bar of the watch Bar, Watch
Bar. Yeah. Yeah. And for
45
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.039
some reason on Instagram, like people
are just better at marketing than they are
46
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.400
at business. I think, no
offense, Tom, but like when they
47
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:15.800
post the stuff, I'm like,
dude, who's Tom, right? Because
48
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.360
he has his name on the thing, so like Tom's got to be somebody,
49
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.599
right. Then he's posting pictures of
himself and I see him in our
50
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.120
news and stuff. And he looks
kind of like a character. You know,
51
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.080
he looks like the cartoon version of
the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland,
52
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.840
but tall. You know, he's
got like crazy gray hair. Kind
53
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.479
of a suit good looking cat,
you know, but kind of different looking,
54
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.360
you know, like he stands out. It's like, oh, this
55
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.479
guy's got to be like somebody.
So we won't watch the Kings game because
56
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.319
a bunch of my buddies are in
town for the holidays that I haven't seen
57
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.479
it forever, and so we would
go and watch the King's game. And
58
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:47.800
it's cool. It is cool bar
don't get it wrong. Like it's cool,
59
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.520
it's clean, flashy, All the
TVs are nice, the food was
60
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.080
pretty good, service was great,
but it's like not that big, and
61
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.560
there's nothing like really you know,
yeah, there's shits on of TVs being
62
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.159
kind of get that anywhere, Like
I feel that's the norm. Now you
63
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.560
go to the barbecue spot right there, a bunch of TVs. Yeah.
64
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.199
But for some reason I thought Instagram, I was like, oh, this
65
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.360
is gonna be like a whole new
experience, you know. I thought it
66
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.919
was like kind of a new shit
and it's cool, but it's not it's
67
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.040
not Maybe it's not the sphere Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
68
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.120
I don't know why I thought something
along those lines. Not the sphirits will
69
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:25.959
be a giant hologram and the floating
above of the bar showing you the game.
70
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.920
I think that just like cool shit
is so cool now, Like even
71
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.399
Christian Guzman at Alpha Land has a
hologram of his clothing when you walk in,
72
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.560
you know, like so like I
know what's possible. Tupac fucking did
73
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.480
a hologram fifteen years ago at Coachella. Like there's cool shit to be done.
74
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.800
The sphere is insane, like if
we're calling it the fucking Eleventh Wonder
75
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.879
and shit, Like they say Elon
Musk that it's the best show he's ever
76
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.600
been to. And I don't know
about his taste, but he's rich as
77
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.759
shit to go do a lot of
things. I kind of feel like I
78
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.879
know a little bit about his taste. But still, but either way,
79
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.920
if you're that rich, you've experienced
anything you've wanted to experience, right,
80
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.759
right, And so if you're saying
it's good, it's probably cool. Yeah,
81
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.120
you've kind of you've had the opportunity
to just suck the marrow, so
82
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.000
to speak literally and not Yeah.
Yeah, he said he went to saw
83
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.360
YouTube and the animals show that have
going on. Yeah, and he said,
84
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.519
He's like, you two could have
not been there and it was still
85
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.480
just as sick. He's like,
no offense to them, Like they're great.
86
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.680
It's like their music's great, but
the fact that it's a live performance
87
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.160
is really not the most important part
of it. Maybe. No, he
88
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.839
said, the visuals are going crazy
and so not that I expected the sports
89
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.279
bar to live up to that,
but I just thought it would have like
90
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.040
a new twist. Yeah, and
it just turns out it's a sports bar
91
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.720
that to be right next to the
arena. Yeah, with a bunch of
92
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.560
TVs and some big ass ones one
you know how they'll take like four sixty
93
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.120
five ers, put them next to
each other and make one image. So
94
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.439
they do that on one wall,
which is cool, but then one wall
95
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.399
actually is probably like a two hundred
inch TV or you know, something fucking
96
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.600
massive. Here's what I would want
out of that experience if they were going
97
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:58.160
to do it, I would make
an arrangement with the broadcast team and I
98
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.079
would have all the camps running at
at the same time. Yeah, if
99
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.600
you could choose one game and get
a billion angles that are not the ESPN
100
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.079
one, Yeah, that would be
cool. I understand that. I was
101
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.079
listening to did Dave Chang talk about
this the other day? He had the
102
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.920
opportunity to, uh, and no, really understands exactly why. But he
103
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:28.800
was invited to the Apple event where
they showed the the virtual reality goggles to
104
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.519
influencers and and and you know,
industry people and stuff like that to get
105
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.959
them all excited about it. And
he said that they can already give you
106
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.199
the front row NBA experience. Yeah. I believe that they have the technology
107
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:55.240
to record that somebody literally sits there
and has a bunch of cameras and and
108
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.399
they can make you feel like you're
in the moment. I believe it.
109
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.160
I bet it's good too. I
saw Jeff Staple was a OG in the
110
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.279
Streetwear Design Game. He was wearing
them. He got a pair somehow and
111
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.079
he was just showing different shit.
He could fuck around with it. Even
112
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.680
him just fucking around looks so cool. Yeah, you know, I don't
113
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.560
know if he was taking pictures.
He was kind of logging. He was
114
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.680
kind of messing around. I was
like, dude, even in the pandemic.
115
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.279
Right when they were running some of
the NBA games or NFL games,
116
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.399
it would show they like hologrammed or
visually put in like celebrities sitting in the
117
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.920
stands when the stands are empty,
you know, like they can do all
118
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.600
this cool shit. Yeah, and
they're getting better right like probably in the
119
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.040
last four years, because obviously like
capability and then application are different. You
120
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.639
know, I've never run a broadcast
that big, so who am I to
121
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.480
talk shit? But the UFC's cameras
in between the fights, like in the
122
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.360
corners and shit, I don't know
what they switched, but you've seen them
123
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.279
like they're they look three They're not
three D, but it's like the craziest
124
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.399
shit I've ever seen. It got
this matrix vibe to it. And the
125
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.079
NFL use them here and there,
I think on the sidelines. Major League
126
00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:03.040
Baseball used some amazing cameras on the
field, not for showing play by play,
127
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.399
but showing showing players walking up to
the plate, yeah, some expressions
128
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:16.160
in between. Yeah, uh,
and like coming into score and then immediately
129
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.720
like on field, immediately after a
win or a loss or whatever up close,
130
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.319
so crisp you feel like you're right
there. Yeah, like the skin
131
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.000
texture and shits and wild. It
almost looks cgi because it's so like pure.
132
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.519
Yeah, the image close to you
is pure, and then bok at
133
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.720
the back of it, like it's
blurred behind them, and so it just
134
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.600
seems very like real and very present. You've seen like often, I think
135
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.960
in Japan and like Korea, but
I think they have them in New York
136
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.480
and I know there's an exhibition going
to Vegas that I'm almost go to.
137
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.039
We're gonna try to go to.
But it's like the giant billboards or posters
138
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.799
that turn three D right where it's
on like a corner of a building and
139
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.679
a cat's throwing a yarn at you
or something and it's arms coming out,
140
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.519
and that looks insane on a fucking
three inch phone. In person, that
141
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.200
probably looks crazy, Like how do
we not integrate that more into entertainment,
142
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:13.759
whether it be sports or concerts.
Yeah, the augmented reality, yeah basically
143
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.679
yeah, yeah, yeah, but
yeah without any device, without a device,
144
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.759
yeah, which is crazy because augmented
stuff. Once you get the Google
145
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.000
glasses, you literally are gonna be
iron man. I'm gonna be able to
146
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.919
look at sebas and like see his
heart rate in my glasses. It's gonna
147
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.519
be like that, and there's like
no reason it won't. It'll be crazy.
148
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.360
Yeah, I'll be able to like
see the temperature of the room if
149
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.440
I look to the left, they'll
be able to see like cars speed as
150
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.320
they will drive by, will tell
me how fast are going. Like all
151
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.440
that's so probably doable today. Probably. So yeah, Okay, this is
152
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.840
not the same thing, and it's
a little bit gross, but to tell
153
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.559
the story anyway, recently had a
different HVAC system as mini split installed in
154
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.720
our bedroom master suite. I guess
we don't say master anymore, but you
155
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.159
know what I mean, pri very
sweet yeah boom, the big boy room.
156
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:07.279
Yeah, and the old system was
really old. It was like forty
157
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.120
years old and we hadn't used it
in several years and whatever. And so
158
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.519
there's all this ducting, right,
and mini splits don't have ducts. So
159
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.440
I have like dead space in my
walls that that I will not ever use
160
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.799
for and for its original purpose anymore, just to hide money. Yeah,
161
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.360
So I want to I want to
have a like a linen closet installed in
162
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.919
one spot and in the bedroom because
there isn't one in the whole house,
163
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.639
Like where do you put towels and
stuff like that? Right? You know,
164
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.200
toilet paper like toilet paper, Like
there's pockets or toilet paper around my
165
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.320
house, but none of them are
are where they should be anyway. Uh
166
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.879
So I thought, how do I
can I look inside the walls and see
167
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.759
if it's clear in there to be
able to like do stuff. And thirty
168
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.399
five dollars on Amazon, I got
one of those fiber optic cameras. Oh
169
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.879
yeah, you just like stick in
the perf cam. Yeah, pervert cam.
170
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.799
Yeah. It's like, I don't
know, it's got maybe like fifteen
171
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.200
twenty feet of of fiber optic and
with it got lights on the end of
172
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.399
it kind of looked like a like
a toilet snake kind of yeah yeah,
173
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.879
yeah, and and smaller just smaller
but other than that, yeah, kind
174
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.600
of kind of like that shoving up
your butt, shoving up your nose.
175
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.159
The hell's going on? Thirty five
bucks, I was, that's pretty it's
176
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.279
amazing. So yeah, I looked
inside the walls right there, and uh,
177
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.600
you know, the part of the
town that I live in, uh
178
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.039
and and probably the part of the
town that you live in too. We're
179
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.639
like relatively close to the river and
stuff, and I got train and river
180
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:56.320
pretty close. Yeah, and so
there's a there's a lot of Norwegian roof
181
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.840
rats in the neighborhood, and particularly
my neighbor. It's very bad. It's
182
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.440
about to keep them like out of
your attic or whatever. And we have
183
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.759
heard noises like coming through that particular
wall before and then in the ceiling in
184
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.399
that part of the house and not
really you can't really hear in the other
185
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.279
parts of the house, but you
can write there. And so I stick
186
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.159
this thing in there and and initially
it's not too bad. Do you have
187
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.720
a live stream, Yeah, it's
life. It's totally live. Yeah,
188
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.120
totally live. You could. I
don't have a mini SD card for it,
189
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.120
but I could actually take pictures on
it. I actually just like held
190
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:37.919
it up and did it with my
phone. Poop like not not not small
191
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.120
poop. I'm not talking about mouse
poop. There's there's there was rat poop,
192
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.720
and then there was like bigger poop. There was like like cat sized
193
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.279
poop somebody squirrels or cats. Interesting, like yeah, because there's probably loose
194
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.879
cats everywhere. I mean they're every
city. There's gonna be cats running around
195
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.480
too. Yeah, so there's a
whole now, a whole project. They'll
196
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.759
have to wait it out till early
next year to tear all that stuff out
197
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.120
and clean that out. Do you
cats like to get into walls and shit?
198
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.480
They will? Yeah? I feel
like, uh, I mean that
199
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.159
sucks, but I feel it's so
common everywhere, but California, like it
200
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.240
happens here. Yeah, shout out
to my aunt, aunt Peggy, like
201
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.480
the joke of my whole life because
my dad had six sisters as she's my
202
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.279
favorite aunt. I don't know where
that happened. I think I was a
203
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.080
kid and I said it, and
then all the other ants got mad and
204
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.120
then it carried on forever it self, fulfilling prophits. Yeah, and she
205
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.279
was like the one that was really
into sports, so she'd take me and
206
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.639
dad did like in uh, because
we're that family was pretty broke, Like
207
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.879
Dad shared a room with her his
whole life. You know, there's fucking
208
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.320
eight kids, and my grandpa was
a trucker and my grandma didn't work,
209
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.159
so like they were really close.
Whatever. Poor Aunt Peggy like hates animals,
210
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.879
like all animals, like fucking dogs. Cats. She hates it all.
211
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.799
It's kind of an Ohio thing too, and I think you'd, like,
212
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.960
you know, an Italian things,
just like fuck these critters. Because
213
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.039
my dad was a little bit like
that sometimes. Of all the aunts her
214
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.960
entire house, she had like fifty
squirrels in it, and first they're like
215
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.639
in the roof, then they're in
the walls, and then she'd be like
216
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.120
opening the oven and shit, and
they're just like everywhere. So she just
217
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.039
like moved out. Luckily she had
like a boyfriend and she ended up living
218
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.440
there and she lives there now and
sold her house. But like this was
219
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.320
like a maybe ten years ago,
but it was just like such a family
220
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.799
joke because of all everyone who ate
shit, they're like like running across the
221
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.080
fucking living room and shit, like
goddamn, oh my god, I know,
222
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.720
like what you can't do anything,
you just need like I think they
223
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.639
gotta like bag it up and like
kill them all. I would be so
224
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.080
skewed out by that. So funny. I mean, our experience was bad
225
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.559
en up, but we couldn't fucking
see the things running aroun Yeah, yeah,
226
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.039
you just see it too a little. I mean that was the same
227
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.039
with opening the gym, right,
like the gym had been sitting here for
228
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.159
a couple of months, and like, the gym's very close to the river.
229
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.679
First day I think we get the
keys, a cat starts sc excuse
230
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.360
me, a rat start screaming across
the empty cerema, Like, oh shit,
231
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.639
here we go. Yeah, and
the room that we're in right now
232
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.240
was absolutely a rat's nest and had
been for a very long time, even
233
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.159
back in the old st days.
And I don't know how we didn't know
234
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.679
that was so bad. Yeah,
we didn't know. Yeah, because we
235
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.600
didn't break down the walls. You
break down the walls and there's like a
236
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.879
little fucking mummified rat and some an
insulation, a lot of poo in the
237
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.360
cia everywhere everywhere. And then I
think, yeah, we're breaking back out
238
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.360
to Teaven see abouts too, because
when it gets hot back here, we'll
239
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.559
open up the back door. And
I was like, bro, I saw
240
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.440
a lizard running here one time.
We got a closest fucking back door to
241
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.480
We're gonna have a zoo in here
again. Uh, next year, I'm
242
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.200
gonna get some kind of a screen
situation where it's possible for it to be
243
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.279
open with We've been pretty good though, you know, I think we sealed
244
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.279
it pretty good when we did do
it. Yeah, when we did rip
245
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.360
the wall school. We haven't had
a lot of like fucking no, we
246
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.559
had issues in the entire gym obviously
spiders and ship, but it's a warehouse
247
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.840
gym. You gotta just deal with
that. Bull. Yeah, there's gonna
248
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.000
be spiders. I don't I mean
everywhere has spiders. Fu. Yeah,
249
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.759
we're pretty good actually, considering I
thought they'd be, like because even in
250
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.759
Sacramento, I feel like maybe it
happens other places obviously, but rain comes
251
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.279
and then everyone gets ants in their
house, right, Like my mom would
252
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.759
always yell at me for leaving,
you know, some kind of snack on
253
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.159
the calendar because the rains and then
the ants are gonna find it and you
254
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.799
find the trail and I remember growing
up with a bunch of that shit.
255
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.279
Uh, we haven't had anything like
that here. Really, We've been pretty
256
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.840
lucky or just secure. Yeah,
something like that. Yeah, I feel
257
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.879
like I should have mentioned this earlier, but like when you're listening to us
258
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.080

268
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:47.200
my favorite things we've ever done.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Quarter Zip,
269
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.600
pretty good, pretty company Police super
wind Proof, which was semi planned
270
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.360
but not planned, but first found
out by Kyle because he was wearing a
271
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.600
couple of weeks ago and weather's got
a little chillier. We had a couple
272
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.320
of rains and he's like, dude, like the inside of this thing,
273
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.799
like the wind just won't penetrate it, because like even hoodies like they're warm.
274
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.920
Oh yeah, you know, the
winds Like I've been riding my bike
275
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.839
back and forth, so I'll get
a little sweat in here and then I'll
276
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.000
wear a hoodie home. But the
wind feels like daggers because I got a
277
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.000
little bit of cold sweat on the
inside, right, and a hoodie keeps
278
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.680
you warm. But it's not.
It's breathable as ship. And this thing's
279
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.079
not to say it's not breatheable,
but it like blocks wind really good.
280
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.440
Yeah, it really does. It's
I haven't really noticed. I hadn't really
281
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.480
noticed that it was the lightning was
the lightning is pretty thick. Yeah,
282
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.319
that's that's I think pretty uncommon because
we did a we did a fleece before.
283
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.920
It was not a not a fleecy
fleece ith a yeah, somewhere in
284
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.240
between, Yeah, somewhere between,
and it was all although I still love
285
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:47.519
it, it isn't as thick as
this isn't a substantial Yeah, this is
286
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:52.200
pretty good. Also, well,
it may already be too late, but
287
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.680

beanies three D representation of bear for
291
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.480
the very first time. Yeah,
I didn't know how common it is because
292
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.240
I don't really like I've never been
like a collector collector. I was really
293
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.079
into basketball cards and then the Beanie
baby craze. Like some of the stuff
294
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:22.119
I just fell into because of my
era. But I have slowly collected coffee
295
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.799
mugs, and I think that's fairly
common. Like I just sent we just
296
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.240
sent some of our athlete packages out, and I've been talking to people and
297
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.960
someone sent me there like cupboard and
they have a bunch of like nerdy ones
298
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.039
and then ours like a Harry Potter
one and shit, and I thought that
299
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.480
was cool, so I sent them
mind because I have like hell of Star
300
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.960
Wars ones, Yeah, a Yoda
one, yeah, bunch. What I
301
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.119
really like, though, is like, then that's where I obviously got the
302
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.359
inspirations like Disney and other companies probably
do it, but Disney like changes the
303
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.400
actual cup. It's not just a
picture. Like a picture on a cup's
304
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.480
cool, and there's some cool ones, but I like it when the mug
305
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:53.960
itself is representative of the design or
representative of the Yeah. So I have
306
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.680
one that's like, yeah, straight
yodahead and it handles its ears, or
307
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:02.880
I have a Harry Potter one where
the handle is a lightning bolt and then
308
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.960
it like, uh, I think
it says like expelli amis when it gets
309
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.680
hot, and then it says something
else when it's cold. Yeah, shit
310
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.960
like that. So that was kind
of the idea behind this one, to
311
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.920
make like the actual bear into one
of three D image, which we haven't
312
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:19.799
done. Yeah, and then two
to be yeah actual manually made bear that's
313
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:23.640
ours rather than no offense to everyone
else. But they'll just buy a cup
314
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.400
and put their logo on it.
Yeah, which is an easy thing to
315
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.599
do, right, which is great, and there's room for everyone. Yeah,
316
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.640
we're just better. Yeah, just
no, Yeah that it's going to
317
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.000
be better. We just work a
little harder, We just go a little
318
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.680
deeper. Three SB Good Company,
Barl dot Com. Uh, we're gonna
319
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:49.039
take a little break right here and
we're back. So yeah, Santa's wish
320
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.279
List, Santa's wishlest Yeah, I'm
expanding on on last week's episode, we
321
00:19:53.359 --> 00:20:00.720
introduced a segment called three Things,
and we're adopting adapting three things this week.
322
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:08.440
Uh for three like Christmas Wishes for
the world three three three gift ideas
323
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:14.599
for the world. My beauty pageant
question debut, Yes, exactly thing they
324
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.079
say, like, what what would
you you have one wish? Miss Denver?
325
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.519
What would you do say or what
would you fix? Yeah, I
326
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.480
wonder if that's real, if that's
just like a movie representation. I don't
327
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.559
know. That's a good question.
I think it's I think it's maybe.
328
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.519
I don't know. I haven't watched
one of those in probably twenty five years
329
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.319
or more. It's like miss Congeniality, right, that's what made fun of
330
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.960
it all. And she's like a
world peace and they all say world peace.
331
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.920
They all say world peace except for
the ones that say world peace.
332
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.119
Yeah. I don't know what i'd
want. So what do we got?
333
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.960
We got a world Yeah, for
the for the world people, for the
334
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.319
good Company, Yeah, for the
world. Yeah, for fitness industry,
335
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:53.960
fitness industry. And then the third
one that well we'll make that a wild
336
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.440
card. Yeah. So just a
wish, anywis a wish like an Aladdin
337
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.839
and Genie wish. And no politics
because twenty twenty four is going to a
338
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.960
charge political year and we're just not
gonna go there. For the world,
339
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:15.759
I would like to give for the
people more confidence. I think a self
340
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.720
lack of self confidence is something we
all deal with I think we all deal
341
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:25.960
with it in different shapes and sizes, but I think that is a large
342
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.960
stemmer root of any issue we have
ever Because if you're truly like grateful and
343
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.359
truly like happy with what you have, this is gonna sound all corny and
344
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.000
shit, but I think it's very
true, and I just don't know how
345
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.279
to say it without sounding corny.
Like if you're truly happy with who you
346
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.559
are, what you are, and
what you're about, one, you're always
347
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:48.559
in good company because you're literally stoked. Two Like you're just never gonna wish
348
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.160
ill upon anyone else, right,
And so that's like my answer, I
349
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.720
guess to world peace, rather than
being miscongenialite just saying world peace with no
350
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.079
answer. I think if we could
truly magical wand everyone one with a little
351
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:06.039
extra self confidence, then you're just
never gonna envy, attack or try to
352
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:10.759
take from others because you're you'd be
satisfied and probably more grateful with what you
353
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.119
have. Ish. Yeah, I
think that. I think that a big
354
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:22.720
lesson there is that other people winning
doesn't necessarily mean you lose, right,
355
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.200
And if you're confident, you see
that if you're not you're gonna be like,
356
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.480
damn, why not me? Why
am right? And you know then
357
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.720
you're gonna find some snaky way likely
not a good way to then take that
358
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.240
or get that. Chances are you
do that? You know some people,
359
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.319
Sure, we'll do it in a
moral way, like all right, but
360
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.119
it should be And again it sounds
corny, but it's just so true.
361
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.759
That should be like a motivator for
you to work harder and find your path
362
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.200
rather than yeah, envy, Yeah, that makes sense to me. No,
363
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:52.440
I like that one. That's a
good one. You've got a world
364
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.319
wish. Yeah. My world wish
is kind of a practical, uh,
365
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:06.400
technological one, and that is I
wish that we were putting the best technology
366
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:12.039
that we have available and the best
effort that we available available and a reasonable
367
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:21.839
about more funding into our electrical charging
network for electric like the grid. Yeah
368
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.119
for the Yeah, because I personally
would like my I mean, my car
369
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.200
is coming up one hundred thousand miles
or whatever, and I mean cars go
370
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:32.880
a lot longer now than they used
to. But it'll be ten years old
371
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.640
next year, and there's a point
at which I'm going to want to switch
372
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.839
to an EV But I do not
want to have range anxiety, and I
373
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:47.079
don't want to be like people who
have electric cars right now. Unless you're
374
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:52.559
charging at home, we're charging out
on the road someplace. The chances that
375
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:59.240
you're charging station is going to have
all the chargers up and available to give
376
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.000
you the fast dis charge or you
know, work out the credit card processing
377
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.799
that's a problem whatever, all that
stuff you got to charge your home.
378
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.559
Oh yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't want to deal with that
379
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.079
if like I want to be able
to to, you know, take a
380
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:17.480
reasonably long road trip, yeah,
and not have to worry about how I'm
381
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.559
gonna keep a car charged. Yeah, I don't know, because I've looked
382
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.319
into the EV stuff a decent amount. I know. The biggest thing they're
383
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:27.559
pushing for is, yeah, like
efficiency and speed in the charging. Yeah,
384
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.480
And a lot of the range stuff
is a little bit tapped out,
385
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.920
like they're probably never gonna make I
mean, I don't say never because hundreds
386
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.319
of years, who knows, but
like a five hundred or one thousand range
387
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.680
car is very unlikely. But you
might be able to get your three hundred
388
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:47.079
range car to two hundred and fifty
range in ten minutes of charging. Yeah,
389
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:48.960
that's like they're that make goal.
I think with everyone that would be
390
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.640
like, uh, like the Apple
Watch, the latest ones, you can
391
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.240
charge them for overnight in like ten
minutes or well yeah yeah, yeah shit
392
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.480
like that, I think because just
because of that, I'm not a fucking
393
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.400
scientist an idiot, but like,
just how batteries work, they can't do
394
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.640
more than that. Yeah, the
range may tap out it three, three
395
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.759
fifty whatever for a plateau for a
particularly long period of time until they start
396
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.039
making batteries smaller and lighter and more
and more of a man. But then
397
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.640
yeah, who knows. But at
that point, hopefully we just have some
398
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.960
fucking bullet trains. And I'm not
against that, bro, just getting rid
399
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.839
of Yeah, yeah, I'm not
against that. I like cars, I
400
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:27.839
love cars, I love driving,
I love all that. But but if
401
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:33.480
I could go to to San Francisco, like relatively cheaply, which is not
402
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.759
I mean even just speed, we
can't get there, Like we should be
403
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.000
able to get to LA in like
three or four hours on just a fucking
404
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.720
skeeter of a train screaming down Highway
five. Yeah, like it's such such
405
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.880
a straight shot with no cities in
the way. Yeah, it's literally how
406
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.319
Highway five works. So like,
how can we not just mimic that in
407
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.440
all ass form? That's a good
question. I don't have an answer for
408
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.839
that, and neither do they,
because it's all fucking lobbying, and yeah,
409
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:03.200
car lobbies, cement lobbyers, I
just station lobbyers. You know,
410
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:10.160
the Western europe whole rail infrastructure they
went is fucking awesome. Yeah they win,
411
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:14.440
It's fantastic. There's no reason US, Mexico and Canada probably shouldn't have
412
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.640
that. Yeah, we should have
started, you know, one hundred years
413
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.880
ago for sure, mo or more
kind of more like they did. I
414
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.559
think that's that's part of the problem, is that we just, you know,
415
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.799
cars got such an emphasis that we
turned our back on all that stuff.
416
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.079
And the independence of a car is
cool, Yeah, you choose your
417
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.960
exact fucking route, right, But
the convenience factor and then how spread out
418
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.640
everything is makes it. Yeah,
but it comes down to like, how
419
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:44.599
much attention are you actually paying to
be able to enjoy what you're seeing when
420
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.519
you're driving somewhere, And the answer
is not much. Yeah. Some's a
421
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:51.240
West coast issue too, because if
you live in the Midwest, East coast
422
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.160
you really can get to like five
states in a five hour drive. Yeah
423
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.279
right, You go Boston, New
York to Atlanta in a day. It's
424
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.720
not that crazy. It's just West
Coast is so spread out. Take you
425
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.359
nine hours to get to Vegas,
ten hours to get to Portland for like
426
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.920
the two biggest cities around US,
or five to LA. It's just kind
427
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.400
of a yeah, bitch, what
do we got fitness industry? Fitness industry?
428
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.240
Fuck? So if the they overlap, right, So we already gave
429
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.240
the fitness industry folks my other wish, right, because I'm giving it to
430
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.119
the whole world confidence to everybody.
Yet, right, I think that'll fix
431
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.599
a lot of the fitness industry.
Oh interesting, right, because they're they're
432
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:30.160
just screaming snakes and scammers because of
their self conscious because they have to afford
433
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:32.880
the rolex and the lambo, to
flex the rolex in the lambo, to
434
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.839
prove to the world who they don't
even know, that they're valued in some
435
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.119
form and photoshop. Yeah right.
They're doing anything they can try to put
436
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.559
John Dorsey out of business. And
what you're saying literal, and so what
437
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.160
would I give them? I would
give Yeah, See, like I swear
438
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.759
to God, confidence would fix it
all because all the other issues I have,
439
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.519
Like I would say I would give
them like fitness knowledge, But the
440
00:27:53.559 --> 00:28:00.079
truth is, if you have so
much self confidence, you they not always.
441
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.039
I guess self awareness is what I
would give a gift them, because
442
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.680
then if you're like self aware enough, you know where you sit in the
443
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:08.519
space, you already have the confidence, and then you're not not everyone's trying
444
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:11.519
to be a bodybuilder. Not everyone's
trying to be a coach. If you
445
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:12.559
don't have the knowledge to be a
coach, you're not going to be spreading
446
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:18.680
lives and bullshit. I think with
those two factors, the industry cleans up
447
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.599
a lot, and then yeah,
maybe a little bit more welcoming. I
448
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.640
guess I don't know if I can
have multiple gifts or and I know these
449
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:30.359
are all philosophical gifts rather than yeah, rather than like a brand new gym
450
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.680
for everybody, train it for free
or some shit, you know, or
451
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.480
a barbelle that's I don't think free
gyms are a good idea. But yeah,
452
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.200
I don't think any of that works. But I think that would help
453
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:42.640
a lot. Yeah, it's just
all egos, you know. I think
454
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:48.640
that the the confidence thing fixes all
the issues I have with most fucking people.
455
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.279
Okay, you know I yeah,
I will take that. Yeah,
456
00:28:52.440 --> 00:29:00.799
I think I said mine. Uh, I don't know how it would work,
457
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.279
and so it might be a little
a little magical. Yeah we've got
458
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.640
Santa Claus. Yeah, who cares. Yeah. I would like for all
459
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:18.359
of the platforms that contain fitness content
to prioritize truth in content. Yeah,
460
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:19.480
I'm down. Yeah, it's kind
of hand to hand with mine. Yeah,
461
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:25.920
I'm down. Where if you were, if you were an influencer who
462
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:33.000
toes the line of as much science
as we can do, as much proven
463
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.559
bro science as we can do,
as opposed to just making shit up and
464
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.599
just to sell some shit. Yeah
yeah, backdoor marketing, Yeah, exactly,
465
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.640
even simplifying it all like show my
boy John Schwartz. John's like and
466
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.039
I don't know if he started it, but he's the main one I see
467
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:53.559
posting it. Actually, matt Ogusts
posted one two where they're like make Instagram
468
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.880
like simple again. Yeah, and
they'll just like post pictures like matt Ogus
469
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.920
posted his lunch. And so remember
when I could post this people cared or
470
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.880
like it, like it was like
a thing right where now, like,
471
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:07.240
if you're not doing some fucking crazy
transition with light flares and fucking all this
472
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:08.440
shit, then no one gives a
fuck about your burrito. But if you
473
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:11.480
do that, your burritos get a
million views with some catchy, trendy song.
474
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.000
I was like, dude, like
the simplification of it all would be
475
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.519
nice too. Yeah, I mean, but that's social media obviously, not
476
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.359
to industry, because social media in
general, like, yes, so complicated
477
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:29.680
and so showy. My original thought
in this category was just fixing the YouTube
478
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.279
algorithm so that it performs more like
it did from you know, fourteen to
479
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:38.759
sixteen. Yeah, it's just so
niched out and so fucking political. There's
480
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.599
just so many schemes going on with
a whole of it. Yeah, I
481
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.319
don't like it either. So that
was just my basic feeling on that.
482
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.359
I used to be a lot easier
for good content to rise at the top,
483
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.920
and now, like I don't even
know anymore. Well, like,
484
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.279
good content to them now is just
replicating what other people are doing. I
485
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.799
think that's part of the issue,
and I think that's what that's true of
486
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.440
me in general. True, but
it's just following a like a on the
487
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.920
dot trend, right, that's the
only way you win. And you put
488
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.640
like it used to be like like
I chose the ice cream flavor, and
489
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.920
I chose the toppings, and then
we all eat ice cream. So we're
490
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.200
all eating ice cream, but mine
is my ice cream. And then now
491
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.640
it's all we have. We all
have the exact same Sunday and then like
492
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.039
you only choose the sprinkles, you
know what I mean? Like the trend
493
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.559
is the mass that it's all the
exact same and I'm barely putting a sprinkle
494
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.759
on it. Or back in the
day, I'm choosing the ice cream,
495
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:34.839
and I'm choosing the syrup, and
I'm choosing the whip creamer and I'm choosing
496
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.160
every piece of it, and we're
just all dealing with ice cream. But
497
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.720
now we all have we got to
serve the exact same fucking mcflurry and you're
498
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.400
putting a cherry on it. I'm
putting sprinkles on it. That's the only
499
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.519
difference. Yeah, you know,
and that's part of the obviously just hitting
500
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:51.319
an algorithm, which I don't want
to do. I mean I want to
501
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:52.160
do, but I don't want to
do. You don't want to have to
502
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.200
contort yourself into it, because then
it just lacks all the creativity. You
503
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.799
know, you're literally just replicating and
like just like being using enough and like
504
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.759
not on some snowflake ship. But
like each human, if you're truly yourself,
505
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:06.640
you you are different just by nature, so like that should be enough
506
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.640
to be entertaining enough, but we're
just not there. Last one gift for
507
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:15.960
me, Yeah, your your choice, your your category, what what what
508
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:17.279
do you want or what do you
want? What do you want to give
509
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:22.160
something to? I don't know.
I mean like selfishly, I would love
510
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.079
like like I don't all my Instagram
is often like these crazy travel places.
511
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:30.759
I was just talking to my buddies
last night and one of my boys,
512
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:36.640
uh from Waldorf is like traveled the
world pretty good, but now he's like
513
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.359
a deep sea fisher in Alaska in
the summers, and he's traveled a bunch
514
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:44.079
of places like crazy stories. And
I was like, dude, I've traveled
515
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.880
like every single inch of America,
not really, but I've traveled a ship
516
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.880
ton of America and like nowhere overseas. He's like, dude, I haven't
517
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.200
been anywhere in America, but I've
been like all these places. I was
518
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:58.559
like, Hey, I think like
my Instagram's full of like the igloo looking
519
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:05.440
glass huts in like Iceland where you
get to sleep and watch the the lights,
520
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:12.240
or or about Borealis, or like
hotels and like I think it's Italy.
521
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.920
I don't even know where your hotel
room is in the Mediterranean, so
522
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.839
like your wall is fish, you
know, or like the mal dives,
523
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.359
like the the bungalows over the water. I want like a month of just
524
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:29.519
like the craziest fucking hotels or like
there's one. I think it might even
525
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:34.640
be like China for all I know, but like you're you're a hut.
526
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.039
It's a nice little house, but
you're like in a side of a mountain,
527
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:42.039
like a fucking Gimli and Lord of
the Rings where he would live.
528
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.680
Like I want to do some shit
like that, just every week, somewhere
529
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.440
like the craziest spectacle of hotels.
Okay, I think that would be cool
530
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.680
for my own selfish gift, maybe
not a wish, but if I get
531
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.160
to snap my fingers and be somewhere, Yeah, teleportation, I guess it
532
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.799
would be the gift i'd give myself. That's that's pretty awesome. Yeah,
533
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:05.720
that's like a little more realistic and
a little less philosophic philosophical like my other
534
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:09.320
ones. Yeah, yeah, if
I were to have to pick something for
535
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:17.119
for just me, I don't know. Making friends is hard, like making
536
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.920
close friends is really hard, especially
the older you get, the harder it
537
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:23.480
is. Yeah, it's just rare
and like what are you gonna do?
538
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.559
Where are you gonna meet them?
And then when you do meet them,
539
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:28.519
where you're gonna go? You're always
tired? So I just want to go
540
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:34.159
home? Yeah, well yeah,
uh I think that. Uh yeah,
541
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.280
that's that would probably be it,
Like just just more people that I that
542
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.599
I fuck with. Yeah, I
mean I I'm I, you know,
543
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.880
kind of made some new like social
media friends this year that I had that
544
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.320
I didn't know, people I probably
should have known before, but I didn't
545
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.840
know. And they're valuable and that's
cool. But like, you know,
546
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.880
if you want to go the ball
game with somebody, it's you know,
547
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:01.280
my options are limited. So that's
probably what I would say. Yeah,
548
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:05.079
it's weird how that happens as you
get older, because ye, like I'm
549
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.239
tired, but I'm not tired.
I was talking to my buddies less than
550
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:08.119
Henry, and he's like, dude, I just don't leave the house,
551
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:10.039
Like, thanks for doing this.
I was like, broll, I don't
552
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:13.760
leave the house either. It's literally
just because you know, my buddy Chris
553
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.039
was in town for the first time
in the year, and so we went
554
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.840
and grabbed a snack. But like, when I'm done, I'm done,
555
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:22.599
and I just fucking sit on my
couch. Yeah, there's you know,
556
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:31.480
there's a thing called cognitive therapy,
and like one of the things that they
557
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:39.960
do they teach you in cognitive therapy
is to not discount the joy or whatever
558
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:43.880
that you would get out of doing
something that's kind of out of your pattern.
559
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:45.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And
I think that if our brain will
560
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:49.280
go to the negative, like damn, because then I'm gonna be tired.
561
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:51.440
So I'm not gonna do that.
It's gonna cost money, and then it's
562
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.679
gonna be I don't want to deal
with the rain on the way there.
563
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:55.760
You put all these block holes in
front, and there's gonna be a shit.
564
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.559
Then people have to talk to somebody
I don't know or whatever. All
565
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:04.320
that stuff. I think that got
worse with the pandemic. Although I think
566
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.559
that that like it sort of split
people. It's people who never ever want
567
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.039
to go anywhere again, and people
who were just dned get out in the
568
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:14.000
world again. Now they're going to
a concert every night? Yeah yeah,
569
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:19.039
how do they think that is true? So I even if that would be
570
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.719
a thing like not I wish,
not for me but for other people.
571
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:27.960
Just don't discount going out and doing
things. It doesn't mean you have to
572
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.000
a drunk. It's whatever. It
just shit. Yeah. Yeah, I
573
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.239
was at a sports bar for three
hours. I didn't have a single drink.
574
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:36.320
Yeah, I drink shit ton of
water and which had to buy a
575
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.920
nachosh. Yeah. I want to
tell people also for twenty twenty four,
576
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:43.960
actually going out and not drinking is
pretty easy to do. I mean I
577
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:46.119
would drink if you want. I
don't care. But like, well,
578
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:50.320
the whole pressure thing is weird too, because like people say that like oh
579
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.800
I feel pressured. I'm like,
well then like those aren't your friends,
580
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.000
right, and that again, like
this whole thing is full of like cliche
581
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:59.719
as stuff, but it's just so
true. Like same thing when you're dieting,
582
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.800
the food pressure, like oh you're
ordering a salad, Jim, what
583
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:07.480
like get some food? Like if
your real friend, if he's truly your
584
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.840
friend. He's not gonna mock your
fucking salad. And if he is,
585
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:14.039
you know, you're all on the
same page with the joke, right,
586
00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:15.000
you know, if you are,
you're on the same page with a joke.
587
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.079
And it's not pressure. But if
anyone's actually pressuring you because you ordered
588
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.039
grilled chicken at fucking Chick fil A
and not a milkshake and all that,
589
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.480
like, that's not your friend.
If any friend is pressuring you to drink
590
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.960
when you don't want to drink,
not a real friend, right, Like
591
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.199
they don't have your best interest in
hand. Yeah, they're so stuck up
592
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:34.719
in their own brain that they're that's
a self conscious shit too, right,
593
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.880
because they're getting drunk because they can't
be in a social situation without it,
594
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:42.400
right, And then they feel self
conscious that they're hammer drunk and you're sober,
595
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.719
so they're trying to shove shots down
your throat so then they feel less
596
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.920
bad about themselves. It's all just
self conscious. I already fixed that,
597
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:52.480
Jim, I already fixed your ship. Yep, fix everything. Wish number
598
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.360
one was the only one we needed. I swear to God, it would
599
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:58.719
fix so much. And it's impossible, right, like even the most confident,
600
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.760
hardworking whoever you guys pop up in
your head with that get self conscious
601
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.519
and certain situations right, certain categories, or you put a math problem in
602
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:08.920
front of them, right, you
know, whatever pops up, something's crushing
603
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:12.719
that person too, and we all
deal with it at different levels. But
604
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.320
holy fuck man, if we could
just cure that shit, we'd all be
605
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:21.519
