9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.719
think we got a newbie. We
got dk Aquinowa highly overrated grain. If
10
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.200
I do say so myself, it's
a grain, right, it's fine.
11
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.600
But it was like how you cook
it? But yeah, yeah, what
12
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.759
do you ask? It's actually fine. I was just trying to be funny.
13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.640
Um. He says, what is
the creative process or your creative process?
14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.520
And he's leaving it open on purpose
to open? Uh interpret haitian.
15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:08.200
I Actually I don't know. Creativity's
interesting in general how people speak sometimes and
16
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.680
let's say like oh yeah, he's
creative or she's not creative, or I'm
17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.519
not creative and I don't even know
enough. I used to listen to more
18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.560
podcasts and read up on psychology of
it or people's thoughts or some I listened
19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:26.079
to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks
from creative people, and that helps me
20
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.920
be creative. But I don't know
if you can like learn to be creative
21
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.120
or not. Not to switch that
question that yeah, it's sort of left
22
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.840
brain right brain thing. Yeah,
some people say you have it or you
23
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.920
don't, and yeah, you're more
of a and I think you learn as
24
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.040
you get older, But I don't
know if it's what you enjoy or what
25
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.439
you've tapped into or what's your programmed. A lot of us are like good
26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.280
at or what we do is what
people told us we do or what we're
27
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.920
good at. Oh, Mike,
he's funny, So then I try to
28
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.359
be funny all the fucking time,
you know what I mean, rather than
29
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.439
like, maybe I'm not funny,
or maybe I don't like being funny,
30
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.400
or maybe I'm not naturally funny or
whatever. It comes back to the thing
31
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.400
with that they say with with kids, you shouldn't tell them that they're smart
32
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.120
or they're they're special or whatever.
You should tell them that they work really
33
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.240
hard if that's not actually true,
or give them, you know, um
34
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.039
qualitative things based on effort as opposed
to sort of in dwelling qualities like intelligence
35
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.319
or what heard similar things, or
like don't say like I'm proud of you,
36
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.639
like say are you proud of you? Yeah? Um, I've heard
37
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.879
a lot of different stuff like that. The basis for me and I learned
38
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.800
it from my head coach shot out
Dean Stark is just like and he does
39
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.639
it himself, but he just says
like, I'm only gonna compliment you when
40
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.280
you deserve a compliment. Yeah,
Like, we're not gonna I'm not gonna
41
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.840
tell you all your worked hard when
you didn't work hard. I'm not gonna
42
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.719
tell you a good game when you're
a good game. I'm not gonna tell
43
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.360
you that was a great shot when
you shot a bad shot. You know,
44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.879
Like there's a difference between like building
someone's confidence here and there. Um
45
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:47.319
and then just like yeah, straight
up line, because then we can never
46
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.560
communicate them, we can never be
on the same page. Okay, so
47
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.599
here's my question. Then, um, watching a lot more basketball right now
48
00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:01.400
obviously myself. Yeah, okay,
so miss a three free throw? Right,
49
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.879
and you're still, yeah, that's
just for routine. Is that just
50
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.840
routine? Yeah, that's not telling
you did good just because like yeah,
51
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.560
and that same idea which I was
going to, Actually that's a good lead
52
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.599
into why what I do did to
get creative? Or I've learned or I've
53
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.680
heard other people say, is the
flow state, which you hopefully is if
54
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:30.159
you know, have experienced or get
into true flow state, it's probably where
55
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.680
you're performing best and your most creative. Arguably, because flow state is when,
56
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.919
at least is my interpretation, I
think it is slightly variable, even
57
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.520
though there's probably a real definition out
there. But when you have enough skill
58
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.560
in something that you're kind of subconscious
or you let go in a way and
59
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.400
you just kind of do, you
don't think, you just be. And
60
00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.560
people often only experience it when they
have semi mastered something you can't. People
61
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:01.639
say like, oh, play music
flow state. Well, if you don't
62
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.439
know how to play the trumpet and
you hop into JR. Jasmine, it's
63
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:10.360
impossibles flow there. Basketball, same
thing. Basketball and music are the only
64
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.240
places that I've experienced it. And
I wasn't not that good at music,
65
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.920
but I was off fishing and selffishent
enough in my pocket that I could in
66
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.000
basketball I was. I think I
had mastered enough skills that things are just
67
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.680
happening. I'm not dribbling up the
court thinking all right, I'm gonna cross
68
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.920
over, I'm gonna spin move.
I just fucking go and where that the
69
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.920
defender ends up, I'm just countering
it, just not thinking. So I've
70
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.920
heard creatively to get into flow state, the best way to do it is
71
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.360
by routine. So whether that be
every day you want to draw a picture,
72
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.040
or if you're an artist and you
wake up, then you do coffee.
73
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.560
Then you sit in the same place
at the same time with the same
74
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.480
music, with the same lighting,
with the same seat and the same this
75
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.000
and that and that, and you
line up all these you control all these
76
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.720
other variables, so then your body
just steps into that creative process. That
77
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.160
sounds interesting yet ever done it that
way? But yeah, but uh yeah,
78
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.360
I'm not huge that way either.
But that's what made me think of
79
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.800
the free throw. The same idea
is like batting, Right, whether you're
80
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.800
batting, you miss more than you
hit for sure, Right, that's the
81
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.399
difference than a free throw, a
good free throw, shoot a really good
82
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.240
free throw shooters hitting nine, yeah, that's really good. But still um,
83
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.759
same idea. You're tapping your cleat, you're tapping your cleat, you're
84
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.959
pulling your thing, and now you're
gonna go hit um and you're doing that
85
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.319
routine and missing more than making,
but you're still doing that routine. Okay.
86
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.560
So that's what I would say for
basketball, like the fist bump or
87
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.680
whatever, like camaraderie stuff and then
m yeah, definitely camaraderie. And it's
88
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.800
kind of like a teammate thing too, like the false compliment like if if
89
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.839
if if if I hit someone with
a perfect pass and they missed the shot,
90
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.959
if I saw they were in if
it's something I want repeat it's kind
91
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.079
of like a dog or a baby. If it's something I want repeated.
92
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.720
As a point guard or a coach, I would say, hey, it's
93
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.480
all right, get shot, get
shot, get shot, even though he
94
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.639
missed, because I think it was
a good opportunity to score and he's more
95
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.839
likely to hit the next one.
Not if it's a bad shot. I
96
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.319
probably wouldn't say nothing yeah, or
be like yo, kick that back out
97
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.079
or you know, yeah, it's
a little bit of a I see you,
98
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.519
Yeah, yeah, same idea.
Yeah, I see you, I
99
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.759
see what you're trying to do.
Um. For me, I think that
100
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.720
the creative my creative process, if
I actually can be said to have one,
101
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:27.399
is um. The thing I've learned
is that you can't throw out ideas
102
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.879
too soon, even if they seem
like they might be bad ideas from the
103
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.800
beginning. You're saying no, I'm
saying keep them until let them a culture.
104
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.519
Yeah, let them let them,
yeah, let them let them steep
105
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.079
a little bit, because the solution
to why something is bad to make it
106
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.959
good might be the thing that the
thing that you can take to another idea
107
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.800
and have it work. Yeah.
I think creativity is just such um an
108
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.560
interesting thing because there's creativity and so
much that we do, like obviously the
109
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:08.000
core being creation, but there's like
fixing problems, which is a different form
110
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.360
of creation for me than coming up
with a shirt design or a collection concept
111
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:25.079
like pure creativity and a more historically
artsy sense. I guess versus creativity in
112
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.720
powerlifting program because there's creativity there that's
troubleshooting or problem solving. I think problem
113
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.839
solving is creative, and how I
go about each of those processes are very
114
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:42.959
different. I think I agree with
you when it comes to the concept you
115
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.240
said when I'm doing more of a
arts creative, because then I want to
116
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.279
like almost let it evolve. I'm
on step one in my brain and letting
117
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.600
that out there people, depending on
who you give it to, but even
118
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.480
in general, people might just not
understand it or it might not be good
119
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.959
yet. But I can build it
to step five, which is allows me
120
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.759
to represent what the actual creation is
better. But in terms of problem solving,
121
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.160
sometimes I feel like throwing it out
right away helps depending on who,
122
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.279
because then someone can already see step
five, you know what I mean,
123
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.160
And we do that in business sometimes. Hey man, I'm thinking about building
124
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.160
up Second Saturday. That was Seabass's
idea. Hey, I think Second Saturday
125
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:20.800
could be a big thing. And
then he throws it to us, and
126
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.160
then I can see, oh,
okay, well, then I could see
127
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.319
it at step five already rather than
the arts creation. It's hard for you
128
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.920
to see what's in my head if
I just throw it out early. Yeah.
129
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.559
Right. For me, it's been
really difficult challenged lately, much like
130
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.279
Jim, where we're not very corporate
with what we do, yet every business
131
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.519
has a corporate structure, And so
if we had to wear hats, I'd
132
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.159
say we'd probably co owned the CEO
hat. Jim runs more in the CFO
133
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.159
area and I run more in the
CCO area, and those two direct conflict.
134
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.559
Where for those Yeah, like creative
creative chief officer and like a creative
135
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.080
executive officer or whatever, you know, one is literally in charge of putting
136
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.519
rubber to ground. That's kind of
the CEO job, like how does shit
137
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.240
get done? Or what gets done
when? How procedures? And in a
138
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.399
more corporate ladder, there's people under
him obviously that actually do it, but
139
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.320
he's the one setting these processes and
following through or sheet and the creative one
140
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.440
is obviously and the ultimate corporate structure
is just ideas. They're the kuc bat
141
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.240
they're the dreamers, they're the and
when I have to wear a half and
142
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.960
half, they blunt each other a
lot. So like I'd love to do
143
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.600
all this cool shit with the clothes, but Margins budgets, you know,
144
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.480
practicality of what I want to do. I want to paint the whole gym
145
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.159
bright yellow, you know, but
like we can't do that, you know,
146
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.559
Like there's all these things that just
don't like Artistically, I'd love to
147
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.320
do a bunch of cool shit to
match the collections with the gym, but
148
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.960
that costs money and that would steer
away members who just come here. Like
149
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.440
some people are all all about everything
we do. They like to close,
150
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.080
they like the podcast, and they
think the clothes are creative. But some
151
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.360
people just want this as a training
facility and for me not to say hello
152
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.559
so these creative things, so I
have to think those things right where I
153
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.320
would love to fucking yeah, paint
the whole thing yellow for a certain launch,
154
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240
because I think it would look fucking
sick, and yellow is one of
155
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.639
our main colors. But that's gonna
lose twenty members, all right, Mike,
156
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.759
Chill the fuck out. We can't
do that one, you know it
157
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.600
plus the money of painting the whole
thing and whatever whatever. But that's just
158
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.000
like one made up example of how
that goes. So the whole creation process
159
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.639
for me now is a little bit
more organized. I was talking about getting
160
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.320
a flow state where I just separate
my days, so morning I'm doing all
161
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.080
the admin stuff, I'm waking up
and I'm doing the logistics with the clothing.
162
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.879
Early six seven o'clock. It asked
to get done because of the time
163
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.799
change of who I'm working with and
how my brain works. So I'm doing
164
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.000
the emails, I'm doing the data
on sizing of what we used to sell
165
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.919
versus what I'm putting the next order
in all these little things, the margins,
166
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.159
I'm I'm negotiating, I'm doing kind
of the admin stuff. Middle of
167
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.360
the day's the content creation, which
is a type of creation. But I
168
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.120
think naturally you and I just have
done that over time. But two,
169
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.919
it's when I feel like most awake
and wanting to be social. I don't
170
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.879
want to be social in the morning. I don't really want to be social
171
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.720
in night. And all content creation, whether it's a solo project or the
172
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.639
podcast or whatever, I do that
then and then the creation creation happens more
173
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.240
at night. And so I'm either
in bed scrolling around. I'm looking at
174
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.480
art, I'm looking at podcasts,
I'm looking at videos, I'm looking at
175
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.879
other things. And I forgot who
said it. I think it was a
176
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:41.639
musician. I wish I remembered better. But because it's a little bit back
177
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.360
and forth, but I think people
said to be a great artist, you
178
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.559
have to consume art because I've heard
opposite, you know, I think it
179
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.960
was a little Wayne said, I
don't listen to anyone's music about my own
180
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.559
because I don't want to be tainted
by it. But that doesn't mean he
181
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.120
doesn't consume other forms of art.
Yeah, and that's something I have always
182
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.639
kind of been inspired by where I
like, I love music, and I
183
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.759
love culture, and I'm getting more
into like other mediums. Like we were
184
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.080
talking about graffiti and different things in
the other cars. Consider art anything visual
185
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.440
arts, and then how do I
represent that into clothing. I also consume
186
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.320
clothing content. I won't lie,
you know, I watch and keep up
187
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.639
with other designers and stuff. But
I think you can be inspired by other
188
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.399
forms of art to create the type
of art you do, but consuming too
189
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.240
much of the same art that you
are trying to create may interfere with your
190
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.639
creature. Yeah, where you can
come up with you need to be inspired
191
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.159
by something. But yeah, I'm
two examples. One. I've told the
192
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.559
story before, but I'm gonna tell
again that when I was writing my master's
193
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.840
project, I had a terrible self
editing problem because I was this is what
194
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.559
I was talking about, just letting
things do, just go just write,
195
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.399
you know, and if you but
if you start editing yourself too soon,
196
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.440
then you can't get past the hump. That's kind of even get stuck.
197
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.879
That's kind of even what I was
talking about, the ad men versus creative,
198
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.200
because like putting your pyramids in common, the right place really is in
199
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.679
creation. That's more admin. Yeah. Right, So if you're writing a
200
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.080
sentence and then making sure it's grammatically
perfect rather than just spewing your brain out
201
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.600
and then going back and worrying about
grammar, I think I get caught up
202
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.519
because because fairly often, even my
you know what, you would think it
203
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.000
was pretty mundane writing has a lot
of shit built into it, you know,
204
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.200
and so that you know, that
process in my mind, the legos
205
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.039
that go into to building those those
sentences and paragraphs or whatever, it's just
206
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.360
more complicated. But I came to
realize that I had to distract myself and
207
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.159
not edit that stuff, go back
and find the threads that I really want
208
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.759
to bring forward, and then rewrite
based on that. And as opposed to
209
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:56.519
stopping every sentence and just having a
giant like birthing event over everyone and the
210
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.360
other thing. It was like we
just did this episode when we've talked about
211
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.320
things you believe or or don't believe
or would like to believe but I think
212
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.519
may not be true. And the
idea around that was just I saw this
213
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.639
article about UFOs, it's like,
well, yeah, I mean like I
214
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.240
would like to believe that that's true. Yeah, and a lot of people
215
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.720
apparently do believe it's true that there's
intelligent life out there. So can we
216
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.600
talk about that for you know an
episode? Yeah, actually we can,
217
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.200
And we can even bring it back
around to stuff that we do, and
218
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.720
that's that's you know, that's the
sort of day to day content creation stuff
219
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.120
when it's just the two of us
when we don't have we don't have guests
220
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.960
or we don't have a panel or
whatever, like some major didn't happen in
221
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.159
the news or yeah, and something
that like, um, there's there's a
222
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.360
certain timeliness about it, but at
the same time not so much. Yeah,
223
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.840
I mean yeah, And I think
that kind of goes back to the
224
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.519
being inspired by other things, right, Yeah, what CNN is talking about
225
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.919
UFOs has nothing to do with our
podcast. Now, I can inspire what
226
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.200
you do and see abouts and I
do similar with YouTube. We saw the
227
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.759
biggest YouTubers in the world are doing
Taco Bell menu tier list. Oh all
228
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.360
right, and today we did a
deadlift tier list. You know, is
229
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.159
that the most creative, earth shattering
thing I've ever done? No, but
230
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.799
there's an ounce of creativity there to
see how something can translate to your world
231
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.759
or putting someone else's um creations in
a sense, into your vision and your
232
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.519
perspective. So, um, I
never had one, But there's this thing
233
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:28.159
called a French taco. Yeah it
what it looks like it's a hot pocket
234
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.519
to me. But if it's just
if the if the outside of the hot
235
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.279
pocket was not pastry, but it
was a tortilla. Oh, it's like
236
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.000
flower, like a burrito at I'd
like that. I mean that sounds a
237
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.679
Panada e yeah, but Mpanada.
You know, I almost went to this
238
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.519
is crazy. We we ended up
deciding not to do it because it was
239
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.080
way out of the way. But
there's a video of Jon Favreau and Pedro
240
00:15:52.120 --> 00:16:00.639
Pascal talking about American food versus um
Chilean food. Yeah, skeltch land.
241
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:06.679
Yeah, so if you um,
yeah, that obviously that was somebody's creative
242
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.000
content idea. Right, Okay,
let's do American food versus whatever. And
243
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.600
there's a place in London. It's
a coffee shop, but it has impanadas
244
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.879
that that Peter Prascal said, Oh, this tastes just like what I would
245
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.960
have in Chile. Interesting, Yeah, probably very similar in Argentina. I
246
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.879
assume what they eat probably say we
we we almost to it and then we
247
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.679
ended up deciding to go a different
direction because it's kind of way out of
248
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.960
the way. That's some weird Argentinian
food. Like La Vegas everyone has,
249
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.840
so we don't really have any here. I know there's supposed to be a
250
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.759
cafe opening, but Chilean food you
almost never hear about. Yeah, population
251
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.679
might just be too little. It's
a spread though, you know it probably
252
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159
Peruvian, Yeah, but even Peruvian. It is weird that that's common because
253
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.759
that's a small ass country. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, and
254
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.120
their food Yeah, probably very similar
regionally. All right, ladies and gentlemen.

9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.719
think we got a newbie. We
got dk Aquinowa highly overrated grain. If
10
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.200
I do say so myself, it's
a grain, right, it's fine.
11
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.600
But it was like how you cook
it? But yeah, yeah, what
12
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.759
do you ask? It's actually fine. I was just trying to be funny.
13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.640
Um. He says, what is
the creative process or your creative process?
14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.520
And he's leaving it open on purpose
to open? Uh interpret haitian.
15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:08.200
I Actually I don't know. Creativity's
interesting in general how people speak sometimes and
16
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.680
let's say like oh yeah, he's
creative or she's not creative, or I'm
17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.519
not creative and I don't even know
enough. I used to listen to more
18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.560
podcasts and read up on psychology of
it or people's thoughts or some I listened
19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:26.079
to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks
from creative people, and that helps me
20
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.920
be creative. But I don't know
if you can like learn to be creative
21
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.120
or not. Not to switch that
question that yeah, it's sort of left
22
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.840
brain right brain thing. Yeah,
some people say you have it or you
23
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.920
don't, and yeah, you're more
of a and I think you learn as
24
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.040
you get older, But I don't
know if it's what you enjoy or what
25
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.439
you've tapped into or what's your programmed. A lot of us are like good
26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.280
at or what we do is what
people told us we do or what we're
27
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.920
good at. Oh, Mike,
he's funny, So then I try to
28
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.359
be funny all the fucking time,
you know what I mean, rather than
29
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.439
like, maybe I'm not funny,
or maybe I don't like being funny,
30
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.400
or maybe I'm not naturally funny or
whatever. It comes back to the thing
31
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.400
with that they say with with kids, you shouldn't tell them that they're smart
32
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.120
or they're they're special or whatever.
You should tell them that they work really
33
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.240
hard if that's not actually true,
or give them, you know, um
34
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.039
qualitative things based on effort as opposed
to sort of in dwelling qualities like intelligence
35
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.319
or what heard similar things, or
like don't say like I'm proud of you,
36
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.639
like say are you proud of you? Yeah? Um, I've heard
37
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.879
a lot of different stuff like that. The basis for me and I learned
38
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.800
it from my head coach shot out
Dean Stark is just like and he does
39
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.639
it himself, but he just says
like, I'm only gonna compliment you when
40
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.280
you deserve a compliment. Yeah,
Like, we're not gonna I'm not gonna
41
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.840
tell you all your worked hard when
you didn't work hard. I'm not gonna
42
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.719
tell you a good game when you're
a good game. I'm not gonna tell
43
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.360
you that was a great shot when
you shot a bad shot. You know,
44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.879
Like there's a difference between like building
someone's confidence here and there. Um
45
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:47.319
and then just like yeah, straight
up line, because then we can never
46
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.560
communicate them, we can never be
on the same page. Okay, so
47
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.599
here's my question. Then, um, watching a lot more basketball right now
48
00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:01.400
obviously myself. Yeah, okay,
so miss a three free throw? Right,
49
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.879
and you're still, yeah, that's
just for routine. Is that just
50
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.840
routine? Yeah, that's not telling
you did good just because like yeah,
51
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.560
and that same idea which I was
going to, Actually that's a good lead
52
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.599
into why what I do did to
get creative? Or I've learned or I've
53
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.680
heard other people say, is the
flow state, which you hopefully is if
54
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:30.159
you know, have experienced or get
into true flow state, it's probably where
55
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.680
you're performing best and your most creative. Arguably, because flow state is when,
56
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.919
at least is my interpretation, I
think it is slightly variable, even
57
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.520
though there's probably a real definition out
there. But when you have enough skill
58
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.560
in something that you're kind of subconscious
or you let go in a way and
59
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.400
you just kind of do, you
don't think, you just be. And
60
00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.560
people often only experience it when they
have semi mastered something you can't. People
61
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:01.639
say like, oh, play music
flow state. Well, if you don't
62
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.439
know how to play the trumpet and
you hop into JR. Jasmine, it's
63
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:10.360
impossibles flow there. Basketball, same
thing. Basketball and music are the only
64
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.240
places that I've experienced it. And
I wasn't not that good at music,
65
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.920
but I was off fishing and selffishent
enough in my pocket that I could in
66
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.000
basketball I was. I think I
had mastered enough skills that things are just
67
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.680
happening. I'm not dribbling up the
court thinking all right, I'm gonna cross
68
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.920
over, I'm gonna spin move.
I just fucking go and where that the
69
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.920
defender ends up, I'm just countering
it, just not thinking. So I've
70
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.920
heard creatively to get into flow state, the best way to do it is
71
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.360
by routine. So whether that be
every day you want to draw a picture,
72
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.040
or if you're an artist and you
wake up, then you do coffee.
73
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.560
Then you sit in the same place
at the same time with the same
74
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.480
music, with the same lighting,
with the same seat and the same this
75
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.000
and that and that, and you
line up all these you control all these
76
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.720
other variables, so then your body
just steps into that creative process. That
77
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.160
sounds interesting yet ever done it that
way? But yeah, but uh yeah,
78
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.360
I'm not huge that way either.
But that's what made me think of
79
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.800
the free throw. The same idea
is like batting, Right, whether you're
80
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.800
batting, you miss more than you
hit for sure, Right, that's the
81
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.399
difference than a free throw, a
good free throw, shoot a really good
82
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.240
free throw shooters hitting nine, yeah, that's really good. But still um,
83
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.759
same idea. You're tapping your cleat, you're tapping your cleat, you're
84
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.959
pulling your thing, and now you're
gonna go hit um and you're doing that
85
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.319
routine and missing more than making,
but you're still doing that routine. Okay.
86
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.560
So that's what I would say for
basketball, like the fist bump or
87
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.680
whatever, like camaraderie stuff and then
m yeah, definitely camaraderie. And it's
88
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.800
kind of like a teammate thing too, like the false compliment like if if
89
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.839
if if if I hit someone with
a perfect pass and they missed the shot,
90
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.959
if I saw they were in if
it's something I want repeat it's kind
91
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.079
of like a dog or a baby. If it's something I want repeated.
92
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.720
As a point guard or a coach, I would say, hey, it's
93
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.480
all right, get shot, get
shot, get shot, even though he
94
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.639
missed, because I think it was
a good opportunity to score and he's more
95
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.839
likely to hit the next one.
Not if it's a bad shot. I
96
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.319
probably wouldn't say nothing yeah, or
be like yo, kick that back out
97
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.079
or you know, yeah, it's
a little bit of a I see you,
98
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.519
Yeah, yeah, same idea.
Yeah, I see you, I
99
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.759
see what you're trying to do.
Um. For me, I think that
100
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.720
the creative my creative process, if
I actually can be said to have one,
101
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:27.399
is um. The thing I've learned
is that you can't throw out ideas
102
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.879
too soon, even if they seem
like they might be bad ideas from the
103
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.800
beginning. You're saying no, I'm
saying keep them until let them a culture.
104
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.519
Yeah, let them let them,
yeah, let them let them steep
105
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.079
a little bit, because the solution
to why something is bad to make it
106
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.959
good might be the thing that the
thing that you can take to another idea
107
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.800
and have it work. Yeah.
I think creativity is just such um an
108
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.560
interesting thing because there's creativity and so
much that we do, like obviously the
109
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:08.000
core being creation, but there's like
fixing problems, which is a different form
110
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.360
of creation for me than coming up
with a shirt design or a collection concept
111
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:25.079
like pure creativity and a more historically
artsy sense. I guess versus creativity in
112
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.720
powerlifting program because there's creativity there that's
troubleshooting or problem solving. I think problem
113
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.839
solving is creative, and how I
go about each of those processes are very
114
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:42.959
different. I think I agree with
you when it comes to the concept you
115
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.240
said when I'm doing more of a
arts creative, because then I want to
116
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.279
like almost let it evolve. I'm
on step one in my brain and letting
117
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.600
that out there people, depending on
who you give it to, but even
118
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.480
in general, people might just not
understand it or it might not be good
119
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.959
yet. But I can build it
to step five, which is allows me
120
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.759
to represent what the actual creation is
better. But in terms of problem solving,
121
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.160
sometimes I feel like throwing it out
right away helps depending on who,
122
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.279
because then someone can already see step
five, you know what I mean,
123
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.160
And we do that in business sometimes. Hey man, I'm thinking about building
124
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.160
up Second Saturday. That was Seabass's
idea. Hey, I think Second Saturday
125
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:20.800
could be a big thing. And
then he throws it to us, and
126
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.160
then I can see, oh,
okay, well, then I could see
127
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.319
it at step five already rather than
the arts creation. It's hard for you
128
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.920
to see what's in my head if
I just throw it out early. Yeah.
129
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.559
Right. For me, it's been
really difficult challenged lately, much like
130
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.279
Jim, where we're not very corporate
with what we do, yet every business
131
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.519
has a corporate structure, And so
if we had to wear hats, I'd
132
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.159
say we'd probably co owned the CEO
hat. Jim runs more in the CFO
133
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.159
area and I run more in the
CCO area, and those two direct conflict.
134
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.559
Where for those Yeah, like creative
creative chief officer and like a creative
135
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.080
executive officer or whatever, you know, one is literally in charge of putting
136
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.519
rubber to ground. That's kind of
the CEO job, like how does shit
137
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.240
get done? Or what gets done
when? How procedures? And in a
138
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.399
more corporate ladder, there's people under
him obviously that actually do it, but
139
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.320
he's the one setting these processes and
following through or sheet and the creative one
140
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.440
is obviously and the ultimate corporate structure
is just ideas. They're the kuc bat
141
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.240
they're the dreamers, they're the and
when I have to wear a half and
142
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.960
half, they blunt each other a
lot. So like I'd love to do
143
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.600
all this cool shit with the clothes, but Margins budgets, you know,
144
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.480
practicality of what I want to do. I want to paint the whole gym
145
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.159
bright yellow, you know, but
like we can't do that, you know,
146
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.559
Like there's all these things that just
don't like Artistically, I'd love to
147
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.320
do a bunch of cool shit to
match the collections with the gym, but
148
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.960
that costs money and that would steer
away members who just come here. Like
149
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.440
some people are all all about everything
we do. They like to close,
150
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.080
they like the podcast, and they
think the clothes are creative. But some
151
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.360
people just want this as a training
facility and for me not to say hello
152
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.559
so these creative things, so I
have to think those things right where I
153
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.320
would love to fucking yeah, paint
the whole thing yellow for a certain launch,
154
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240
because I think it would look fucking
sick, and yellow is one of
155
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.639
our main colors. But that's gonna
lose twenty members, all right, Mike,
156
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.759
Chill the fuck out. We can't
do that one, you know it
157
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.600
plus the money of painting the whole
thing and whatever whatever. But that's just
158
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.000
like one made up example of how
that goes. So the whole creation process
159
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.639
for me now is a little bit
more organized. I was talking about getting
160
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.320
a flow state where I just separate
my days, so morning I'm doing all
161
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.080
the admin stuff, I'm waking up
and I'm doing the logistics with the clothing.
162
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.879
Early six seven o'clock. It asked
to get done because of the time
163
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.799
change of who I'm working with and
how my brain works. So I'm doing
164
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.000
the emails, I'm doing the data
on sizing of what we used to sell
165
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.919
versus what I'm putting the next order
in all these little things, the margins,
166
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.159
I'm I'm negotiating, I'm doing kind
of the admin stuff. Middle of
167
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.360
the day's the content creation, which
is a type of creation. But I
168
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.120
think naturally you and I just have
done that over time. But two,
169
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.919
it's when I feel like most awake
and wanting to be social. I don't
170
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.879
want to be social in the morning. I don't really want to be social
171
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.720
in night. And all content creation, whether it's a solo project or the
172
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.639
podcast or whatever, I do that
then and then the creation creation happens more
173
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.240
at night. And so I'm either
in bed scrolling around. I'm looking at
174
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.480
art, I'm looking at podcasts,
I'm looking at videos, I'm looking at
175
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.879
other things. And I forgot who
said it. I think it was a
176
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:41.639
musician. I wish I remembered better. But because it's a little bit back
177
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.360
and forth, but I think people
said to be a great artist, you
178
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.559
have to consume art because I've heard
opposite, you know, I think it
179
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.960
was a little Wayne said, I
don't listen to anyone's music about my own
180
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.559
because I don't want to be tainted
by it. But that doesn't mean he
181
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.120
doesn't consume other forms of art.
Yeah, and that's something I have always
182
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.639
kind of been inspired by where I
like, I love music, and I
183
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.759
love culture, and I'm getting more
into like other mediums. Like we were
184
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.080
talking about graffiti and different things in
the other cars. Consider art anything visual
185
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.440
arts, and then how do I
represent that into clothing. I also consume
186
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.320
clothing content. I won't lie,
you know, I watch and keep up
187
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.639
with other designers and stuff. But
I think you can be inspired by other
188
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.399
forms of art to create the type
of art you do, but consuming too
189
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.240
much of the same art that you
are trying to create may interfere with your
190
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.639
creature. Yeah, where you can
come up with you need to be inspired
191
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.159
by something. But yeah, I'm
two examples. One. I've told the
192
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.559
story before, but I'm gonna tell
again that when I was writing my master's
193
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.840
project, I had a terrible self
editing problem because I was this is what
194
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.559
I was talking about, just letting
things do, just go just write,
195
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.399
you know, and if you but
if you start editing yourself too soon,
196
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.440
then you can't get past the hump. That's kind of even get stuck.
197
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.879
That's kind of even what I was
talking about, the ad men versus creative,
198
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.200
because like putting your pyramids in common, the right place really is in
199
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.679
creation. That's more admin. Yeah. Right, So if you're writing a
200
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.080
sentence and then making sure it's grammatically
perfect rather than just spewing your brain out
201
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.600
and then going back and worrying about
grammar, I think I get caught up
202
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.519
because because fairly often, even my
you know what, you would think it
203
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.000
was pretty mundane writing has a lot
of shit built into it, you know,
204
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.200
and so that you know, that
process in my mind, the legos
205
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.039
that go into to building those those
sentences and paragraphs or whatever, it's just
206
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.360
more complicated. But I came to
realize that I had to distract myself and
207
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.159
not edit that stuff, go back
and find the threads that I really want
208
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.759
to bring forward, and then rewrite
based on that. And as opposed to
209
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:56.519
stopping every sentence and just having a
giant like birthing event over everyone and the
210
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.360
other thing. It was like we
just did this episode when we've talked about
211
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.320
things you believe or or don't believe
or would like to believe but I think
212
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.519
may not be true. And the
idea around that was just I saw this
213
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.639
article about UFOs, it's like,
well, yeah, I mean like I
214
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.240
would like to believe that that's true. Yeah, and a lot of people
215
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.720
apparently do believe it's true that there's
intelligent life out there. So can we
216
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.600
talk about that for you know an
episode? Yeah, actually we can,
217
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.200
And we can even bring it back
around to stuff that we do, and
218
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.720
that's that's you know, that's the
sort of day to day content creation stuff
219
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.120
when it's just the two of us
when we don't have we don't have guests
220
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.960
or we don't have a panel or
whatever, like some major didn't happen in
221
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.159
the news or yeah, and something
that like, um, there's there's a
222
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.360
certain timeliness about it, but at
the same time not so much. Yeah,
223
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.840
I mean yeah, And I think
that kind of goes back to the
224
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.519
being inspired by other things, right, Yeah, what CNN is talking about
225
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.919
UFOs has nothing to do with our
podcast. Now, I can inspire what
226
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.200
you do and see abouts and I
do similar with YouTube. We saw the
227
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.759
biggest YouTubers in the world are doing
Taco Bell menu tier list. Oh all
228
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.360
right, and today we did a
deadlift tier list. You know, is
229
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.159
that the most creative, earth shattering
thing I've ever done? No, but
230
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.799
there's an ounce of creativity there to
see how something can translate to your world
231
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.759
or putting someone else's um creations in
a sense, into your vision and your
232
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.519
perspective. So, um, I
never had one, But there's this thing
233
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:28.159
called a French taco. Yeah it
what it looks like it's a hot pocket
234
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.519
to me. But if it's just
if the if the outside of the hot
235
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.279
pocket was not pastry, but it
was a tortilla. Oh, it's like
236
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.000
flower, like a burrito at I'd
like that. I mean that sounds a
237
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.679
Panada e yeah, but Mpanada.
You know, I almost went to this
238
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.519
is crazy. We we ended up
deciding not to do it because it was
239
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.080
way out of the way. But
there's a video of Jon Favreau and Pedro
240
00:15:52.120 --> 00:16:00.639
Pascal talking about American food versus um
Chilean food. Yeah, skeltch land.
241
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:06.679
Yeah, so if you um,
yeah, that obviously that was somebody's creative
242
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.000
content idea. Right, Okay,
let's do American food versus whatever. And
243
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.600
there's a place in London. It's
a coffee shop, but it has impanadas
244
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.879
that that Peter Prascal said, Oh, this tastes just like what I would
245
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.960
have in Chile. Interesting, Yeah, probably very similar in Argentina. I
246
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.879
assume what they eat probably say we
we we almost to it and then we
247
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.679
ended up deciding to go a different
direction because it's kind of way out of
248
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.960
the way. That's some weird Argentinian
food. Like La Vegas everyone has,
249
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.840
so we don't really have any here. I know there's supposed to be a
250
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.759
cafe opening, but Chilean food you
almost never hear about. Yeah, population
251
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.679
might just be too little. It's
a spread though, you know it probably
252
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159
Peruvian, Yeah, but even Peruvian. It is weird that that's common because
253
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.759
that's a small ass country. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, and
254
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.120
their food Yeah, probably very similar
regionally. All right, ladies and gentlemen.
