0:07 Welcome to This is Thanksgiving week. When you're seeing you're hearing this, this is Thanksgiving week. Happy Thanksgiving kids. Yeah, Mike's away, I'm away. I'm here a Formula one. That shit's going crazy, like multiple ways. So the show went bananas in the pandemic. Yeah, so now they think Formula one is gonna be hot in America. Yeah. I think they did one maybe Florida, for sure, in Texas. I think it had some success maybe too. Then they did this one in Vegas and they're gonna do it on the strip. I don't know how much money. They spent trillions of dollars fucking repaving the thing. They built a whole stands around the whole strip. Yeah, I saw it being built last month. Then prices skyrocketed, They like doubled over the last couple of weeks. There's still regular tickets for sale, and the resale tickets have like got cut in half of the retail crazy cheap, interesting, but like the rich cats are still coming.

1:15 Vegas had to like manage all their small like executive airports with their international airport because they're going to have more private jets than they've ever had in Vegas in one weekend and make sure they have enough fuel for all of them, and like landing for all of them and parking for all of them. Why that nightmare? Yeah? Because I imagine, Oh shit, there's a spider floating right in between me and Sea Mass. Oh no, get at Sea Bass, save me. Do you see it? My dude's creeping. I thought it was just dust at first, and this dude is just swanging from the sky. So yeah, Like, I got such mixed reviews all that. What's going to happen because I'm flying in Oh shit, do you get it? Yeah? He got it. I'm flying the day before. When I heard tickets are like two hundred bucks, I was like, shit, maybe I go. I've had friends that go. One of our members went in Europe, said it was amazing by Sean's older brother. My best friend said he went, I think in Europe and he said it was fucking sick.

2:10 My best friend was turned into a huge Formula one fan the last maybe six or seven years of his life. He went to these things. I never went with him. I never could make it. We're only Europe, right, yeah essentially? Yeah? And then yeah, so I'm like, shit, do I go just for the experience. Probably not, but the thought is there. Other thought is I went to our brand new we're trying to build like our entertainment here in sacrament Al, right, so we have a brand new stadium that's five years old now sick like that. Yeah, pretty new for the league, all TechEd out, cool whatever if you guys watch basketball to like the Bean Building and all that, a big hotel next to it, restaurants, etcetera, et cetera. It used to be a downtown outdoor mall that then didn't get so nice, and now they're trying to make nice again. And then it leads into kind of our entertainment district, which is our K Street, which needs some work but it's on to come up, for sure. But there's a very new sports bar, Tom sports Bar of the watch Bar, Watch Bar. Yeah. Yeah. And for some reason on Instagram, like people are just better at marketing than they are at business. I think, no offense, Tom, but like when they post the stuff, I'm like, dude, who's Tom, right? Because he has his name on the thing, so like Tom's got to be somebody, right. Then he's posting pictures of himself and I see him in our news and stuff. And he looks kind of like a character. You know, he looks like the cartoon version of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, but tall. You know, he's got like crazy gray hair. Kind of a suit good looking cat, you know, but kind of different looking, you know, like he stands out. It's like, oh, this guy's got to be like somebody. So we won't watch the Kings game because

3:40 a bunch of my buddies are in town for the holidays that I haven't seen it forever, and so we would go and watch the King's game. And it's cool. It is cool bar don't get it wrong. Like it's cool, it's clean, flashy, All the TVs are nice, the food was pretty good, service was great, but it's like not that big, and there's nothing like really you know, yeah, there's shits on of TVs being kind of get that anywhere, Like I feel that's the norm. Now you go to the barbecue spot right there, a bunch of TVs. Yeah. But for some reason I thought Instagram, I was like, oh, this is gonna be like a whole new experience, you know. I thought it was like kind of a new shit and it's cool, but it's not it's not Maybe it's not the sphere Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I don't know why I thought something along those lines. Not the sphirits will be a giant hologram and the floating above of the bar showing you the game.

4:26 I think that just like cool shit is so cool now, Like even Christian Guzman at Alpha Land has a hologram of his clothing when you walk in, you know, like so like I know what's possible. Tupac fucking did a hologram fifteen years ago at Coachella. Like there's cool shit to be done. The sphere is insane, like if we're calling it the fucking Eleventh Wonder and shit, Like they say Elon Musk that it's the best show he's ever been to. And I don't know about his taste, but he's rich as shit to go do a lot of things. I kind of feel like I know a little bit about his taste. But still, but either way, if you're that rich, you've experienced anything you've wanted to experience, right, right, And so if you're saying it's good, it's probably cool. Yeah, you've kind of you've had the opportunity to just suck the marrow, so to speak literally and not Yeah. Yeah, he said he went to saw YouTube and the animals show that have going on. Yeah, and he said, He's like, you two could have not been there and it was still just as sick. He's like, no offense to them, Like they're great.

5:15 It's like their music's great, but the fact that it's a live performance is really not the most important part of it. Maybe. No, he said, the visuals are going crazy and so not that I expected the sports bar to live up to that, but I just thought it would have like a new twist. Yeah, and it just turns out it's a sports bar that to be right next to the arena. Yeah, with a bunch of TVs and some big ass ones one you know how they'll take like four sixty five ers, put them next to each other and make one image. So they do that on one wall, which is cool, but then one wall actually is probably like a two hundred inch TV or you know, something fucking massive. Here's what I would want out of that experience if they were going to do it, I would make an arrangement with the broadcast team and I would have all the camps running at at the same time. Yeah, if you could choose one game and get a billion angles that are not the ESPN one, Yeah, that would be cool. I understand that. I was listening to did Dave Chang talk about this the other day? He had the opportunity to, uh, and no, really understands exactly why. But he was invited to the Apple event where they showed the the virtual reality goggles to influencers and and and you know, industry people and stuff like that to get them all excited about it. And he said that they can already give you the front row NBA experience. Yeah. I believe that they have the technology

6:48 to record that somebody literally sits there and has a bunch of cameras and and they can make you feel like you're in the moment. I believe it. I bet it's good too. I saw Jeff Staple was a OG in the Streetwear Design Game. He was wearing them. He got a pair somehow and he was just showing different shit. He could fuck around with it. Even him just fucking around looks so cool. Yeah, you know, I don't know if he was taking pictures. He was kind of logging. He was kind of messing around. I was like, dude, even in the pandemic. Right when they were running some of the NBA games or NFL games, it would show they like hologrammed or visually put in like celebrities sitting in the stands when the stands are empty, you know, like they can do all this cool shit. Yeah, and they're getting better right like probably in the last four years, because obviously like capability and then application are different. You know, I've never run a broadcast that big, so who am I to talk shit? But the UFC's cameras in between the fights, like in the corners and shit, I don't know what they switched, but you've seen them like they're they look three They're not three D, but it's like the craziest shit I've ever seen. It got this matrix vibe to it. And the NFL use them here and there, I think on the sidelines. Major League Baseball used some amazing cameras on the field, not for showing play by play, but showing showing players walking up to the plate, yeah, some expressions in between. Yeah, uh, and like coming into score and then immediately like on field, immediately after a win or a loss or whatever up close,

8:22 so crisp you feel like you're right there. Yeah, like the skin texture and shits and wild. It almost looks cgi because it's so like pure. Yeah, the image close to you is pure, and then bok at the back of it, like it's blurred behind them, and so it just seems very like real and very present. You've seen like often, I think in Japan and like Korea, but I think they have them in New York and I know there's an exhibition going to Vegas that I'm almost go to. We're gonna try to go to. But it's like the giant billboards or posters that turn three D right where it's on like a corner of a building and a cat's throwing a yarn at you or something and it's arms coming out, and that looks insane on a fucking three inch phone. In person, that probably looks crazy, Like how do we not integrate that more into entertainment, whether it be sports or concerts. Yeah, the augmented reality, yeah basically yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah without any device, without a device, yeah, which is crazy because augmented stuff. Once you get the Google glasses, you literally are gonna be iron man. I'm gonna be able to look at sebas and like see his heart rate in my glasses. It's gonna be like that, and there's like no reason it won't. It'll be crazy.

9:30 Yeah, I'll be able to like see the temperature of the room if I look to the left, they'll be able to see like cars speed as they will drive by, will tell me how fast are going. Like all that's so probably doable today. Probably. So yeah, Okay, this is not the same thing, and it's a little bit gross, but to tell the story anyway, recently had a different HVAC system as mini split installed in our bedroom master suite. I guess we don't say master anymore, but you know what I mean, pri very sweet yeah boom, the big boy room. Yeah, and the old system was really old. It was like forty years old and we hadn't used it in several years and whatever. And so there's all this ducting, right, and mini splits don't have ducts. So I have like dead space in my walls that that I will not ever use for and for its original purpose anymore, just to hide money. Yeah, So I want to I want to have a like a linen closet installed in one spot and in the bedroom because there isn't one in the whole house, Like where do you put towels and stuff like that? Right? You know, toilet paper like toilet paper, Like there's pockets or toilet paper around my house, but none of them are are where they should be anyway. Uh So I thought, how do I can I look inside the walls and see if it's clear in there to be able to like do stuff. And thirty five dollars on Amazon, I got one of those fiber optic cameras. Oh yeah, you just like stick in the perf cam. Yeah, pervert cam.

11:05 Yeah. It's like, I don't know, it's got maybe like fifteen twenty feet of of fiber optic and with it got lights on the end of it kind of looked like a like a toilet snake kind of yeah yeah, yeah, and and smaller just smaller but other than that, yeah, kind of kind of like that shoving up your butt, shoving up your nose. The hell's going on? Thirty five bucks, I was, that's pretty it's amazing. So yeah, I looked inside the walls right there, and uh, you know, the part of the town that I live in, uh and and probably the part of the town that you live in too. We're like relatively close to the river and stuff, and I got train and river pretty close. Yeah, and so there's a there's a lot of Norwegian roof rats in the neighborhood, and particularly my neighbor. It's very bad. It's about to keep them like out of your attic or whatever. And we have heard noises like coming through that particular wall before and then in the ceiling in that part of the house and not really you can't really hear in the other parts of the house, but you can write there. And so I stick this thing in there and and initially it's not too bad. Do you have a live stream, Yeah, it's life. It's totally live. Yeah, totally live. You could. I don't have a mini SD card for it, but I could actually take pictures on it. I actually just like held it up and did it with my phone. Poop like not not not small

12:37 poop. I'm not talking about mouse poop. There's there's there was rat poop, and then there was like bigger poop. There was like like cat sized poop somebody squirrels or cats. Interesting, like yeah, because there's probably loose cats everywhere. I mean they're every city. There's gonna be cats running around too. Yeah, so there's a whole now, a whole project. They'll have to wait it out till early next year to tear all that stuff out and clean that out. Do you cats like to get into walls and shit? They will? Yeah? I feel like, uh, I mean that sucks, but I feel it's so common everywhere, but California, like it happens here. Yeah, shout out to my aunt, aunt Peggy, like the joke of my whole life because my dad had six sisters as she's my favorite aunt. I don't know where that happened. I think I was a kid and I said it, and then all the other ants got mad and then it carried on forever it self, fulfilling prophits. Yeah, and she was like the one that was really into sports, so she'd take me and dad did like in uh, because we're that family was pretty broke, Like Dad shared a room with her his whole life. You know, there's fucking eight kids, and my grandpa was a trucker and my grandma didn't work, so like they were really close. Whatever. Poor Aunt Peggy like hates animals, like all animals, like fucking dogs. Cats. She hates it all.

13:41 It's kind of an Ohio thing too, and I think you'd, like, you know, an Italian things, just like fuck these critters. Because my dad was a little bit like that sometimes. Of all the aunts her entire house, she had like fifty squirrels in it, and first they're like in the roof, then they're in the walls, and then she'd be like opening the oven and shit, and they're just like everywhere. So she just like moved out. Luckily she had like a boyfriend and she ended up living there and she lives there now and sold her house. But like this was like a maybe ten years ago, but it was just like such a family joke because of all everyone who ate shit, they're like like running across the fucking living room and shit, like goddamn, oh my god, I know, like what you can't do anything, you just need like I think they gotta like bag it up and like kill them all. I would be so skewed out by that. So funny. I mean, our experience was bad en up, but we couldn't fucking see the things running aroun Yeah, yeah, you just see it too a little. I mean that was the same with opening the gym, right, like the gym had been sitting here for a couple of months, and like, the gym's very close to the river.

14:35 First day I think we get the keys, a cat starts sc excuse me, a rat start screaming across the empty cerema, Like, oh shit, here we go. Yeah, and the room that we're in right now was absolutely a rat's nest and had been for a very long time, even back in the old st days. And I don't know how we didn't know that was so bad. Yeah, we didn't know. Yeah, because we didn't break down the walls. You break down the walls and there's like a little fucking mummified rat and some an insulation, a lot of poo in the cia everywhere everywhere. And then I think, yeah, we're breaking back out to Teaven see abouts too, because when it gets hot back here, we'll open up the back door. And I was like, bro, I saw a lizard running here one time. We got a closest fucking back door to We're gonna have a zoo in here again. Uh, next year, I'm gonna get some kind of a screen situation where it's possible for it to be open with We've been pretty good though, you know, I think we sealed it pretty good when we did do it. Yeah, when we did rip the wall school. We haven't had a lot of like fucking no, we had issues in the entire gym obviously spiders and ship, but it's a warehouse gym. You gotta just deal with that. Bull. Yeah, there's gonna be spiders. I don't I mean everywhere has spiders. Fu. Yeah, we're pretty good actually, considering I thought they'd be, like because even in Sacramento, I feel like maybe it happens other places obviously, but rain comes and then everyone gets ants in their house, right, Like my mom would always yell at me for leaving, you know, some kind of snack on the calendar because the rains and then the ants are gonna find it and you find the trail and I remember growing up with a bunch of that shit.

15:50 Uh, we haven't had anything like that here. Really, We've been pretty lucky or just secure. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I feel like I should have mentioned this earlier, but like when you're listening to us or watching us, our drops already happened. Yeah, yeah, we're live three SB dot co Black Friday up to forty percent off all our classics check that out. And our brand new collection has dropped, so the Sierra Collection, our biggest best collection yet, is live. Check it out. Hopefully things are still in stock, and if they're not, I'm sorry. And if they are, grab them now because the sale is going to go on for about two weeks and after that will probably be empty and shelfless and itemless, so grab your stuff. Good Company Apparel dot Com through is B dot Coe, same website. Check it out. Good Company a peril, yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving. What I'm wearing right now is I think one of my favorite things we've ever done. Yeah, it's pretty good. Quarter Zip, pretty good, pretty company Police super wind Proof, which was semi planned but not planned, but first found out by Kyle because he was wearing a couple of weeks ago and weather's got a little chillier. We had a couple of rains and he's like, dude, like the inside of this thing, like the wind just won't penetrate it, because like even hoodies like they're warm.

17:04 Oh yeah, you know, the winds Like I've been riding my bike back and forth, so I'll get a little sweat in here and then I'll wear a hoodie home. But the wind feels like daggers because I got a little bit of cold sweat on the inside, right, and a hoodie keeps you warm. But it's not. It's breathable as ship. And this thing's not to say it's not breatheable, but it like blocks wind really good. Yeah, it really does. It's I haven't really noticed. I hadn't really noticed that it was the lightning was the lightning is pretty thick. Yeah, that's that's I think pretty uncommon because we did a we did a fleece before. It was not a not a fleecy fleece ith a yeah, somewhere in between, Yeah, somewhere between, and it was all although I still love it, it isn't as thick as this isn't a substantial Yeah, this is pretty good. Also, well, it may already be too late, but the goodie bear mugs man, Yeah, if you're probably too late to get a free one, but you check them out there for sale. Now there will be no week, so there will be by the time this goes up.

18:00 Yeah, coffee mugs. It's these beanies three D representation of bear for the very first time. Yeah, I didn't know how common it is because I don't really like I've never been like a collector collector. I was really into basketball cards and then the Beanie baby craze. Like some of the stuff I just fell into because of my era. But I have slowly collected coffee mugs, and I think that's fairly common. Like I just sent we just sent some of our athlete packages out, and I've been talking to people and someone sent me there like cupboard and they have a bunch of like nerdy ones and then ours like a Harry Potter one and shit, and I thought that was cool, so I sent them mind because I have like hell of Star Wars ones, Yeah, a Yoda one, yeah, bunch. What I really like, though, is like, then that's where I obviously got the inspirations like Disney and other companies probably do it, but Disney like changes the actual cup. It's not just a picture. Like a picture on a cup's cool, and there's some cool ones, but I like it when the mug itself is representative of the design or representative of the Yeah. So I have one that's like, yeah, straight yodahead and it handles its ears, or I have a Harry Potter one where the handle is a lightning bolt and then it like, uh, I think it says like expelli amis when it gets hot, and then it says something else when it's cold. Yeah, shit like that. So that was kind of the idea behind this one, to make like the actual bear into one of three D image, which we haven't done. Yeah, and then two to be yeah actual manually made bear that's ours rather than no offense to everyone else. But they'll just buy a cup and put their logo on it. Yeah, which is an easy thing to do, right, which is great, and there's room for everyone. Yeah, we're just better. Yeah, just no, Yeah that it's going to

19:33 be better. We just work a little harder, We just go a little deeper. Three SB Good Company, Barl dot Com. Uh, we're gonna take a little break right here and we're back. So yeah, Santa's wish List, Santa's wishlest Yeah, I'm expanding on on last week's episode, we introduced a segment called three Things, and we're adopting adapting three things this week. Uh for three like Christmas Wishes for the world three three three gift ideas for the world. My beauty pageant question debut, Yes, exactly thing they say, like, what what would you you have one wish? Miss Denver?

20:18 What would you do say or what would you fix? Yeah, I wonder if that's real, if that's just like a movie representation. I don't know. That's a good question. I think it's I think it's maybe. I don't know. I haven't watched one of those in probably twenty five years or more. It's like miss Congeniality, right, that's what made fun of it all. And she's like a world peace and they all say world peace. They all say world peace except for the ones that say world peace. Yeah. I don't know what i'd want. So what do we got? We got a world Yeah, for the for the world people, for the good Company, Yeah, for the world. Yeah, for fitness industry, fitness industry. And then the third one that well we'll make that a wild card. Yeah. So just a wish, anywis a wish like an Aladdin and Genie wish. And no politics because twenty twenty four is going to a charge political year and we're just not gonna go there. For the world, I would like to give for the people more confidence. I think a self lack of self confidence is something we all deal with I think we all deal with it in different shapes and sizes, but I think that is a large stemmer root of any issue we have ever Because if you're truly like grateful and truly like happy with what you have, this is gonna sound all corny and shit, but I think it's very true, and I just don't know how to say it without sounding corny. Like if you're truly happy with who you are, what you are, and what you're about, one, you're always in good company because you're literally stoked. Two Like you're just never gonna wish

21:48 ill upon anyone else, right, And so that's like my answer, I guess to world peace, rather than being miscongenialite just saying world peace with no answer. I think if we could truly magical wand everyone one with a little extra self confidence, then you're just never gonna envy, attack or try to take from others because you're you'd be satisfied and probably more grateful with what you have. Ish. Yeah, I think that. I think that a big lesson there is that other people winning doesn't necessarily mean you lose, right, And if you're confident, you see that if you're not you're gonna be like, damn, why not me? Why am right? And you know then you're gonna find some snaky way likely not a good way to then take that or get that. Chances are you do that? You know some people, Sure, we'll do it in a moral way, like all right, but it should be And again it sounds corny, but it's just so true.

22:42 That should be like a motivator for you to work harder and find your path rather than yeah, envy, Yeah, that makes sense to me. No, I like that one. That's a good one. You've got a world wish. Yeah. My world wish is kind of a practical, uh, technological one, and that is I wish that we were putting the best technology that we have available and the best effort that we available available and a reasonable about more funding into our electrical charging network for electric like the grid. Yeah for the Yeah, because I personally would like my I mean, my car is coming up one hundred thousand miles or whatever, and I mean cars go a lot longer now than they used to. But it'll be ten years old next year, and there's a point at which I'm going to want to switch to an EV But I do not want to have range anxiety, and I don't want to be like people who have electric cars right now. Unless you're charging at home, we're charging out on the road someplace. The chances that you're charging station is going to have all the chargers up and available to give you the fast dis charge or you know, work out the credit card processing that's a problem whatever, all that stuff you got to charge your home.

24:06 Oh yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't want to deal with that if like I want to be able to to, you know, take a reasonably long road trip, yeah, and not have to worry about how I'm gonna keep a car charged. Yeah, I don't know, because I've looked into the EV stuff a decent amount. I know. The biggest thing they're pushing for is, yeah, like efficiency and speed in the charging. Yeah, And a lot of the range stuff is a little bit tapped out, like they're probably never gonna make I mean, I don't say never because hundreds of years, who knows, but like a five hundred or one thousand range car is very unlikely. But you might be able to get your three hundred range car to two hundred and fifty range in ten minutes of charging. Yeah, that's like they're that make goal. I think with everyone that would be like, uh, like the Apple Watch, the latest ones, you can charge them for overnight in like ten minutes or well yeah yeah, yeah shit like that, I think because just because of that, I'm not a fucking scientist an idiot, but like, just how batteries work, they can't do more than that. Yeah, the range may tap out it three, three fifty whatever for a plateau for a particularly long period of time until they start making batteries smaller and lighter and more and more of a man. But then yeah, who knows. But at that point, hopefully we just have some fucking bullet trains. And I'm not against that, bro, just getting rid of Yeah, yeah, I'm not against that. I like cars, I love cars, I love driving, I love all that. But but if I could go to to San Francisco, like relatively cheaply, which is not I mean even just speed, we can't get there, Like we should be

25:37 able to get to LA in like three or four hours on just a fucking skeeter of a train screaming down Highway five. Yeah, like it's such such a straight shot with no cities in the way. Yeah, it's literally how Highway five works. So like, how can we not just mimic that in all ass form? That's a good question. I don't have an answer for that, and neither do they, because it's all fucking lobbying, and yeah, car lobbies, cement lobbyers, I just station lobbyers. You know, the Western europe whole rail infrastructure they went is fucking awesome. Yeah they win, It's fantastic. There's no reason US, Mexico and Canada probably shouldn't have that. Yeah, we should have started, you know, one hundred years ago for sure, mo or more kind of more like they did. I think that's that's part of the problem, is that we just, you know, cars got such an emphasis that we turned our back on all that stuff.

26:27 And the independence of a car is cool, Yeah, you choose your exact fucking route, right, But the convenience factor and then how spread out everything is makes it. Yeah, but it comes down to like, how much attention are you actually paying to be able to enjoy what you're seeing when you're driving somewhere, And the answer is not much. Yeah. Some's a West coast issue too, because if you live in the Midwest, East coast you really can get to like five states in a five hour drive. Yeah right, You go Boston, New York to Atlanta in a day. It's not that crazy. It's just West Coast is so spread out. Take you nine hours to get to Vegas, ten hours to get to Portland for like the two biggest cities around US, or five to LA. It's just kind of a yeah, bitch, what do we got fitness industry? Fitness industry?

27:11 Fuck? So if the they overlap, right, So we already gave the fitness industry folks my other wish, right, because I'm giving it to the whole world confidence to everybody. Yet, right, I think that'll fix a lot of the fitness industry. Oh interesting, right, because they're they're just screaming snakes and scammers because of their self conscious because they have to afford the rolex and the lambo, to flex the rolex in the lambo, to prove to the world who they don't even know, that they're valued in some form and photoshop. Yeah right. They're doing anything they can try to put John Dorsey out of business. And what you're saying literal, and so what would I give them? I would give Yeah, See, like I swear to God, confidence would fix it all because all the other issues I have, Like I would say I would give them like fitness knowledge, But the truth is, if you have so much self confidence, you they not always.

28:00 I guess self awareness is what I would give a gift them, because then if you're like self aware enough, you know where you sit in the space, you already have the confidence, and then you're not not everyone's trying to be a bodybuilder. Not everyone's trying to be a coach. If you don't have the knowledge to be a coach, you're not going to be spreading lives and bullshit. I think with those two factors, the industry cleans up a lot, and then yeah, maybe a little bit more welcoming. I guess I don't know if I can have multiple gifts or and I know these are all philosophical gifts rather than yeah, rather than like a brand new gym for everybody, train it for free or some shit, you know, or a barbelle that's I don't think free gyms are a good idea. But yeah, I don't think any of that works. But I think that would help a lot. Yeah, it's just all egos, you know. I think that the the confidence thing fixes all the issues I have with most fucking people.

28:48 Okay, you know I yeah, I will take that. Yeah, I think I said mine. Uh, I don't know how it would work, and so it might be a little a little magical. Yeah we've got Santa Claus. Yeah, who cares. Yeah. I would like for all of the platforms that contain fitness content to prioritize truth in content. Yeah, I'm down. Yeah, it's kind of hand to hand with mine. Yeah, I'm down. Where if you were, if you were an influencer who toes the line of as much science as we can do, as much proven bro science as we can do, as opposed to just making shit up and just to sell some shit. Yeah yeah, backdoor marketing, Yeah, exactly, even simplifying it all like show my boy John Schwartz. John's like and I don't know if he started it, but he's the main one I see posting it. Actually, matt Ogusts posted one two where they're like make Instagram like simple again. Yeah, and they'll just like post pictures like matt Ogus posted his lunch. And so remember when I could post this people cared or like it, like it was like a thing right where now, like, if you're not doing some fucking crazy transition with light flares and fucking all this shit, then no one gives a fuck about your burrito. But if you do that, your burritos get a million views with some catchy, trendy song.

30:11 I was like, dude, like the simplification of it all would be nice too. Yeah, I mean, but that's social media obviously, not to industry, because social media in general, like, yes, so complicated and so showy. My original thought in this category was just fixing the YouTube algorithm so that it performs more like it did from you know, fourteen to sixteen. Yeah, it's just so niched out and so fucking political. There's just so many schemes going on with a whole of it. Yeah, I don't like it either. So that was just my basic feeling on that. I used to be a lot easier for good content to rise at the top, and now, like I don't even know anymore. Well, like, good content to them now is just replicating what other people are doing. I think that's part of the issue, and I think that's what that's true of me in general. True, but it's just following a like a on the dot trend, right, that's the only way you win. And you put like it used to be like like I chose the ice cream flavor, and I chose the toppings, and then we all eat ice cream. So we're all eating ice cream, but mine is my ice cream. And then now it's all we have. We all have the exact same Sunday and then like you only choose the sprinkles, you know what I mean? Like the trend is the mass that it's all the exact same and I'm barely putting a sprinkle on it. Or back in the day, I'm choosing the ice cream, and I'm choosing the syrup, and I'm choosing the whip creamer and I'm choosing every piece of it, and we're just all dealing with ice cream. But now we all have we got to serve the exact same fucking mcflurry and you're putting a cherry on it. I'm putting sprinkles on it. That's the only

31:45 difference. Yeah, you know, and that's part of the obviously just hitting an algorithm, which I don't want to do. I mean I want to do, but I don't want to do. You don't want to have to contort yourself into it, because then it just lacks all the creativity. You know, you're literally just replicating and like just like being using enough and like not on some snowflake ship. But like each human, if you're truly yourself, you you are different just by nature, so like that should be enough to be entertaining enough, but we're just not there. Last one gift for me, Yeah, your your choice, your your category, what what what do you want or what do you want? What do you want to give something to? I don't know. I mean like selfishly, I would love like like I don't all my Instagram is often like these crazy travel places.

32:29 I was just talking to my buddies last night and one of my boys, uh from Waldorf is like traveled the world pretty good, but now he's like a deep sea fisher in Alaska in the summers, and he's traveled a bunch of places like crazy stories. And I was like, dude, I've traveled like every single inch of America, not really, but I've traveled a ship ton of America and like nowhere overseas. He's like, dude, I haven't been anywhere in America, but I've been like all these places. I was like, Hey, I think like my Instagram's full of like the igloo looking glass huts in like Iceland where you get to sleep and watch the the lights, or or about Borealis, or like hotels and like I think it's Italy.

33:12 I don't even know where your hotel room is in the Mediterranean, so like your wall is fish, you know, or like the mal dives, like the the bungalows over the water. I want like a month of just like the craziest fucking hotels or like there's one. I think it might even be like China for all I know, but like you're you're a hut. It's a nice little house, but you're like in a side of a mountain, like a fucking Gimli and Lord of the Rings where he would live. Like I want to do some shit like that, just every week, somewhere like the craziest spectacle of hotels. Okay, I think that would be cool for my own selfish gift, maybe not a wish, but if I get to snap my fingers and be somewhere, Yeah, teleportation, I guess it would be the gift i'd give myself. That's that's pretty awesome. Yeah, that's like a little more realistic and a little less philosophic philosophical like my other ones. Yeah, yeah, if I were to have to pick something for for just me, I don't know. Making friends is hard, like making close friends is really hard, especially the older you get, the harder it is. Yeah, it's just rare and like what are you gonna do?

34:23 Where are you gonna meet them? And then when you do meet them, where you're gonna go? You're always tired? So I just want to go home? Yeah, well yeah, uh I think that. Uh yeah, that's that would probably be it, Like just just more people that I that I fuck with. Yeah, I mean I I'm I, you know, kind of made some new like social media friends this year that I had that I didn't know, people I probably should have known before, but I didn't know. And they're valuable and that's cool. But like, you know, if you want to go the ball game with somebody, it's you know, my options are limited. So that's probably what I would say. Yeah, it's weird how that happens as you get older, because ye, like I'm tired, but I'm not tired. I was talking to my buddies less than Henry, and he's like, dude, I just don't leave the house, Like, thanks for doing this. I was like, broll, I don't leave the house either. It's literally just because you know, my buddy Chris was in town for the first time in the year, and so we went and grabbed a snack. But like, when I'm done, I'm done, and I just fucking sit on my couch. Yeah, there's you know, there's a thing called cognitive therapy, and like one of the things that they do they teach you in cognitive therapy is to not discount the joy or whatever that you would get out of doing something that's kind of out of your pattern.

35:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think that if our brain will go to the negative, like damn, because then I'm gonna be tired. So I'm not gonna do that. It's gonna cost money, and then it's gonna be I don't want to deal with the rain on the way there. You put all these block holes in front, and there's gonna be a shit. Then people have to talk to somebody I don't know or whatever. All that stuff. I think that got worse with the pandemic. Although I think that that like it sort of split people. It's people who never ever want to go anywhere again, and people who were just dned get out in the world again. Now they're going to a concert every night? Yeah yeah, how do they think that is true? So I even if that would be a thing like not I wish, not for me but for other people. Just don't discount going out and doing things. It doesn't mean you have to a drunk. It's whatever. It just shit. Yeah. Yeah, I was at a sports bar for three hours. I didn't have a single drink.

36:32 Yeah, I drink shit ton of water and which had to buy a nachosh. Yeah. I want to tell people also for twenty twenty four, actually going out and not drinking is pretty easy to do. I mean I would drink if you want. I don't care. But like, well, the whole pressure thing is weird too, because like people say that like oh I feel pressured. I'm like, well then like those aren't your friends, right, and that again, like this whole thing is full of like cliche as stuff, but it's just so true. Like same thing when you're dieting, the food pressure, like oh you're ordering a salad, Jim, what like get some food? Like if your real friend, if he's truly your friend. He's not gonna mock your fucking salad. And if he is, you know, you're all on the same page with the joke, right, you know, if you are, you're on the same page with a joke.

37:15 And it's not pressure. But if anyone's actually pressuring you because you ordered grilled chicken at fucking Chick fil A and not a milkshake and all that, like, that's not your friend. If any friend is pressuring you to drink when you don't want to drink, not a real friend, right, Like they don't have your best interest in hand. Yeah, they're so stuck up in their own brain that they're that's a self conscious shit too, right, because they're getting drunk because they can't be in a social situation without it, right, And then they feel self conscious that they're hammer drunk and you're sober, so they're trying to shove shots down your throat so then they feel less bad about themselves. It's all just self conscious. I already fixed that, Jim, I already fixed your ship. Yep, fix everything. Wish number one was the only one we needed. I swear to God, it would fix so much. And it's impossible, right, like even the most confident, hardworking whoever you guys pop up in your head with that get self conscious and certain situations right, certain categories, or you put a math problem in front of them, right, you know, whatever pops up, something's crushing that person too, and we all deal with it at different levels.
