[0:00] And we're back.

[0:03] Hello to another fake problems broadcast.

[0:07] All right.

[0:09] Let's just get right into it.

[0:10] I got one thing.

[0:12] Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[0:13] The research.

[0:14] Super quick one.

[0:15] Nothing too crazy.

[0:16] You talked about a guy who claimed that he served a life sentence

[0:22] because he died in prison and then was resuscitated.

[0:26] That did not prevail.

[0:28] So he did not.

[0:30] So he tried it though.

[0:31] He tried it and then he, yeah, small courts was like, no,

[0:34] so they took it to high like state level courts.

[0:37] They're also like, no, that's stupid.

[0:40] You're an idiot.

[0:41] And then he actually died for good.

[0:44] He's dead now.

[0:45] Oh, I was soon after.

[0:47] I don't know.

[0:48] I don't know what the time was between that.

[0:50] I mean, it was kind of interesting.

[0:52] So he claimed that he claimed revival was against his wishes,

[0:57] which, oh, did he have a do not resist it?

[1:00] I guess maybe he must have which that like,

[1:04] I could see that holding some water.

[1:05] Yeah, that holds a little bit of water.

[1:07] I feel like then they tried to make the case that going back to jail.

[1:10] Was illegal and they're like, no, yeah.

[1:13] There was no part of me when I said that story where I'm like,

[1:15] this guy's going to win this.

[1:17] Yeah, there's no way.

[1:17] There's no way of courts back.

[1:18] It's very interesting.

[1:20] Like I had never thought of that before.

[1:21] It is and it's probably a public defender took that and was like,

[1:24] all right, we're going to run with this and see

[1:25] what this appeal does.

[1:27] But yeah, good to know that or good for the follow up.

[1:30] I like this follow up thing.

[1:32] Yeah, it's I'm liking it because we do just leave off on so many questions.

[1:35] And we say so many things about things we just don't know.

[1:39] Yeah, what you know, that's fine, which is fine.

[1:42] We're not expected to know everything folks.

[1:44] But that's why we started this.

[1:46] Is there any more reason to do this?

[1:48] Is there any more reason to do this?

[1:48] Yes.

[1:50] No, I got I got nothing else.

[1:51] Okay, take it away.

[1:53] All right, we're starting off today with the pet peeve that is shown up on this

[1:58] this document that which we put topics on.

[2:01] I'm pretty sure it's got to be on there three times or four times.

[2:04] Yeah, yeah.

[2:05] But I've noticed people saying a hundred percent to things that they agree with.

[2:12] And it's being so overused that it's like.

[2:18] It's kind of turned into just like a programmed in response.

[2:21] Yes, and it's never and I hate to be this guy, but it's never a hundred percent.

[2:27] There's very very few things you go a hundred percent with what you're saying.

[2:32] Yeah, you know, it's turning to like sure.

[2:35] Like I would argue more absolutely.

[2:38] Okay, it's like you're saying that what you're saying I buy into it entirely.

[2:44] There's no doubt and people are saying hundred percent to things that are like.

[2:48] You know, I don't know just things that you have an example.

[2:51] Whereas someone said it and you're like, no way that's only like 80%.

[2:55] I mean, I can't think of one like.

[2:57] No, I'm asked, but there's been plenty of times where I don't know.

[3:00] And it's just one of those things that exist in like.

[3:03] I can tell people aren't thinking when they're saying it now.

[3:06] They're just saying a hundred percent.

[3:07] Yeah, I'm like, but every time I hear it, it's your chef's kiss for me right now.

[3:12] I was going to say it's like no worries when I brought that one up.

[3:15] And then I'm like, I use that all the time.

[3:17] Yeah, yeah, I feel like I say for sure a lot, which is kind of like hundred percent.

[3:23] Yeah, sure for sure.

[3:25] So here's the thing though.

[3:27] Are you different with your responses via text as opposed to in person?

[3:31] Hmm.

[3:32] Because I never.

[3:33] Oh, is what's what's the Peeve is the written version or the this is the vocal version of vocal?

[3:38] Yeah, I don't.

[3:39] I never say it vocally.

[3:41] I don't really say that at all.

[3:43] I don't think what.

[3:44] 100 percent.

[3:45] Me neither.

[3:46] I mean, I definitely the no worries and no problem.

[3:50] Never really say it in vocally either.

[3:53] It's always it's like a text via work or via text to people.

[3:57] I never say in real life, which is weird.

[3:59] It's weird that you did for you.

[4:01] What do you say then?

[4:03] I don't know.

[4:04] Thank you for doing the brushes.

[4:06] Probably.

[4:07] Say, yeah.

[4:08] No, no, no, I'm just I'm agreeing with you.

[4:10] I probably say thank you when.

[4:11] No, no, I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying thank you to you.

[4:14] And what do you say?

[4:16] I would say no problem.

[4:17] Yeah.

[4:18] Or of course it'd probably more of course.

[4:20] Yeah, I like that one.

[4:21] Yeah, but it's weird that we have different like dialogue for different mediums.

[4:26] Yeah, it's kind of there's like 10 options to pick from you just pick a phrase.

[4:31] I like to think there's more.

[4:35] So we're out there.

[4:36] Of course.

[4:37] I mean, there is probably actually 10 responses to that.

[4:40] But anyway, I just those things.

[4:44] I just how does it make you feel terrible?

[4:46] I do every time someone uses it.

[4:48] I'm like, you don't mean that.

[4:50] You don't mean 100%.

[4:53] It's just fucking irks me.

[4:54] Why you call me what I'd be hilarious if you call someone out on it.

[4:58] I mean, I would be like really 100 percent.

[5:02] You have to be such an asshole.

[5:04] Right now.

[5:04] It's either if you're really good friends with the person and you're being you're making a joke of it.

[5:08] Or if like most of the time it's someone at work that's like 100% and like.

[5:15] If I call someone out of the meeting, do she think to say it?

[5:18] Okay, now we're reaching.

[5:20] It's not a dirty thing to say 100%.

[5:23] No, I'm just why is it a do she thing to say?

[5:27] It just kind of sounds like surf or broy like 100% dog.

[5:31] Yeah, but that's I got like certain.

[5:33] It's like anything.

[5:34] Yeah, you can it's it's fine.

[5:36] But it is.

[5:38] Fuck those people.

[5:41] It's just fucking silo them as these evil people know.

[5:44] No, I just it's not the wrong to say it.

[5:46] I would be a crazy person to call someone out that I don't know.

[5:50] I'll be like, you don't mean that.

[5:53] Can you imagine that?

[5:54] Like you don't you don't mean that.

[5:56] I mean, there's so many.

[5:57] It's it's just like the no worries.

[5:59] It's like there's so many phrases that are just that people just say.

[6:03] Yeah.

[6:03] Yeah, it's tough.

[6:05] No, at the same time it's like I know people aren't actively thinking about that phrase.

[6:10] They've just accepted it as a new way of saying I agree with something.

[6:14] That's just it.

[6:14] That's what it's become.

[6:16] So it's I'm just being a cynical piece of shit, but it does bug me.

[6:20] And once you hear it and people say it all the time, you just can't on it.

[6:24] You ever hear the one when people say respect as a response?

[6:27] Yeah.

[6:28] I mean, once that one's gotten out of hand, you'll be like, thank you.

[6:33] And they're like respect really.

[6:34] Yeah.

[6:35] I'm not that one.

[6:35] I feel like.

[6:37] I think it made a comeback.

[6:39] Okay.

[6:39] It's come back.

[6:40] The respect.

[6:41] I can't think of a better scenario.

[6:42] But yeah, that one that one's weird because that truly doesn't make any sense.

[6:48] Yeah.

[6:49] Like I feel like it went from mad respect.

[6:51] I feel like.

[6:52] And then now it's just become respect.

[6:55] I don't I feel like I heard.

[6:56] It's just like a cap to any sentence any conversation.

[6:59] Which it can be used to layers like that when you're like, uh, just.

[7:01] I just watched a movie on the Holocaust and you like respect.

[7:05] It's like it can be hilarious.

[7:08] Yeah.

[7:08] But when people use it unironically, it's kind of ridiculous to be like respect dog.

[7:13] And you're like, yeah, man, you know, I just put a new PR at the Jamie like respect.

[7:17] I mean, both.

[7:18] Yeah, that's how people use it.

[7:20] Yeah.

[7:20] I mean, I've heard it for sure.

[7:22] But I like my day to day.

[7:23] I haven't heard someone as a response to me.

[7:26] I think it's just something you can say in both situations when you just don't have

[7:30] anything to say.

[7:30] It is kind of a cop out phrase.

[7:32] Yeah.

[7:33] But it's also better to have is it better to have something to say when you want to

[7:37] leave the conversation or to not have anything?

[7:40] I mean, it's weird if you just don't say just walk away.

[7:42] Yeah.

[7:43] Or say nothing.

[7:44] Yeah.

[7:45] Silence.

[7:47] I mean, I do that sometimes.

[7:49] Go silent.

[7:50] I'll just say nothing.

[7:51] Yeah.

[7:52] But it's usually because I just can't think of anything to say.

[7:54] In what context though, we're not talking like a.

[7:58] Like one's the last time you're having to counter say,

[8:00] if you just stop talking to the person, if you stay silent long enough,

[8:03] the other person will just keep talking.

[8:05] And then you get another shot to respond.

[8:09] Yeah.

[8:10] There's truth to that.

[8:11] I feel like that it's more in person.

[8:14] Like if I'm like taxing someone, I stop responding to them.

[8:16] Oh, yeah.

[8:17] No, that's different.

[8:18] Like if I just sat here in silence, you'd most likely probably try to fill the space

[8:22] as I would to.

[8:23] Yes.

[8:24] Yes.

[8:24] So, but it's, it makes me so uncomfortable being silent for long that I don't know if I could

[8:30] like I couldn't practice that.

[8:31] I think I'd win in a silence chicken off.

[8:34] Oh, dude, I can't stop talking.

[8:35] Yeah, you'd talk.

[8:36] Yes.

[8:36] Dude, I would.

[8:37] I will also take that very far.

[8:40] I feel like I take that further than most people.

[8:42] Like I will stay silent.

[8:43] If I truly have nothing to say, you'll be silent.

[8:46] Yeah.

[8:48] I mean, it's not a bad quality.

[8:50] Have definitely less room for error because if I'm just trying to fill the space,

[8:53] I have a higher risk of saying something say something stupid,

[8:57] but which is why we talk into a mic for an hour.

[9:00] Try to fill as much time up with words.

[9:03] All right.

[9:03] Next topic.

[9:06] Solar powering world.

[9:08] Oh, okay.

[9:09] Is another, it's an interesting thing, but another pet peeve that happened a long time ago.

[9:13] Solar power?

[9:14] Well, I mean, no, but it's related to that.

[9:17] When I worked for this chemical company, the, it was like a hundred person company.

[9:21] So like everyone knew everybody.

[9:22] I knew the CEO and the owner of the guy who like started it.

[9:26] And he would come to the office once in a while and he was like,

[9:29] he was a doctor at one point.

[9:31] He invented this or his dad invented this.

[9:33] So like his dad invented the chemical company through soap.

[9:36] It was weird, but cool.

[9:37] He was a really smart dude.

[9:39] And I remember we were talking about clean energy.

[9:43] And he was a, I was thinking about solar energy.

[9:47] And I was like, why don't we just put like a bunch of solar panels in a desert.

[9:53] Somewhere like the Sahara desert or somewhere we're in less space.

[9:56] And he just power the entire world.

[9:57] Like you just have like kilometers of land to like transfer energy.

[10:01] Grand, you have to attach power grids to those somehow.

[10:04] But I probably could be done when you have infinite energy forever.

[10:08] And he was like, no, it doesn't work like that.

[10:10] Just like not even a, not even going to entertain the, no.

[10:14] And like every other conversation he would entertain.

[10:16] And then when I said that, he's like, now that couldn't be done.

[10:18] And I was like, what do you mean why?

[10:20] And you just wouldn't give me an answer.

[10:21] Google it after the meeting.

[10:23] And someone had, be done.

[10:24] So like, yeah, dude, someone did the math on it.

[10:26] It's like only 3.3 square kilometers of the Sahara desert could power the entire world infinitely.

[10:31] I was like, the fuck?

[10:33] And then I never saw him again.

[10:34] Like when the sun's up or like the problem with solar is storage usually.

[10:39] That's usually people's argument against it.

[10:41] Because light isn't constant.

[10:43] Same with wind.

[10:44] So you, you need a good ways to store the energy and our battery.

[10:48] Our batteries aren't like good enough.

[10:50] But the hope is one day we'll have good enough batteries.

[10:52] I see.

[10:53] So even if you had a, but I don't, I've never thought about like the whole Sahara desert.

[10:57] Yeah.

[10:58] And when you just couldn't just build a storage facility is there.

[11:01] Like say, say that's a centralized thing.

[11:03] And it just branched out to all these places in the world where they need energy.

[11:06] Yeah.

[11:07] I guess the storage you couldn't have storage that's storing that energy overnight.

[11:12] Or is it just this is I'm talking way out of my element.

[11:15] I mean, I think if we built a shit ton of batteries, maybe, I mean, there's downsides to that too.

[11:20] Like solar isn't actually perfectly clean because you have to dispose of that stuff.

[11:25] Which is probably that causes problems.

[11:26] Yeah.

[11:27] Also batteries.

[11:28] But I don't know.

[11:29] We should go for it.

[11:30] Yeah.

[11:31] I mean, it's probably not practical.

[11:32] The whole point of this that I hate when people of authority, tonight even entertain a

[11:38] discussion.

[11:38] Yeah.

[11:38] They just dismiss after like, it's a regardless of if it's even practical.

[11:43] Also an idea that makes me think he has no idea if like he, that makes me think he's

[11:48] never thought about probably.

[11:49] If he's just going to show you probably has some like preconceived notion about solar energy

[11:52] and he was just projecting it onto this conversation.

[11:55] And I was like, it really, and I don't, this is just what happened.

[12:00] I know I try to do this less, but it takes that person my head and like, takes them down

[12:04] on us.

[12:04] He goes, oh, like, like, my respect for that person goes down.

[12:09] They just dismiss something that could be entertained or talked about or even a reason

[12:14] why he didn't feel that.

[12:15] And I was like, he was like, no, no, that just can't happen.

[12:18] Well, it's what, because he said he was pretty reasonable in other domains, right?

[12:21] Like, other, I guess we had talked about stuff, but never like co-worker.

[12:27] He's the former co-worker of the entire company.

[12:30] Okay.

[12:30] So he would just pop in and every once in a while and I'd have conversations with them.

[12:34] Okay.

[12:34] So not really appear.

[12:36] No, it was more like we talk every once in a while.

[12:38] I'd pick his brain.

[12:39] I worked in regulatory, which like hazardous chemical wall stuff.

[12:43] We got to make sure.

[12:43] Okay.

[12:44] Yeah.

[12:44] Doing all this stuff.

[12:45] So like, we'd have meetings with them and I'd talk to them every once in a while.

[12:48] It was casual.

[12:49] But and I'd never been shot down like that.

[12:51] That was like, what the fuck?

[12:53] Why are you doing this to me?

[12:53] I'm still harboring this years later.

[12:56] Yeah.

[12:57] I don't know what, I don't know reminding me of it.

[12:59] It's the interesting thing.

[13:00] But it, it could have been an authority complex.

[13:04] Like, you're going to come out then.

[13:06] Yeah.

[13:07] Like, no ounce of it anywhere else.

[13:09] He's thinking like, he was like, I just don't want to talk about this right now.

[13:12] Could be.

[13:13] Could be.

[13:14] No idea.

[13:15] Or he could be that you could have been having a bad day too.

[13:17] Yeah.

[13:18] So it could be that.

[13:18] But I just remember feeling like, hey, fuck you man.

[13:23] Okay.

[13:23] What am I to you?

[13:24] Just nothing now.

[13:26] But that's shitty.

[13:28] Yeah.

[13:28] But nice guy.

[13:30] Otherwise.

[13:32] And I'm going to follow up on that one.

[13:34] See if we can do it.

[13:35] What?

[13:36] Power of the world.

[13:37] Do it.

[13:37] I'm pretty sure.

[13:37] I'm sure when I write it, it's 3.3 square kilometers.

[13:40] So much space, right?

[13:41] So much.

[13:42] Like, and this and the power of the sun in the Sahara Desert is insane.

[13:46] Crazy.

[13:46] Yeah.

[13:47] And so when I write it, it was like, yeah, this could be done.

[13:49] But logistics might make it way more complicated than just putting panels in the fucking desert.

[13:56] So good follow up to have.

[13:59] If you die quick enough, can DMT release from your brain?

[14:02] This is all theory.

[14:03] But you ever heard about people have like near death experiences and they see loved ones

[14:09] and there's theory that we know we have DMT is.

[14:14] Yep.

[14:15] So we have some in our brain.

[14:16] There's a theory that the reason we experience these like crazy situations is that DMT releases

[14:23] right before we die.

[14:25] Yes.

[14:25] And so, and I don't, the more I dug around about this, it seems like it's just theoretical.

[14:30] And there's, there's no like way we have proved that DMT is released.

[14:33] So I don't really.

[14:35] I thought that was that.

[14:36] Yeah.

[14:37] No, I thought so too.

[14:38] And I did a little bit more research before I wrote this down.

[14:40] It's like, how it doesn't seem as legit as I thought it was.

[14:43] And granted, I was partying in the world where people are like doing DMT all the time.

[14:47] And they're like, dude, this is shit in your brain in your body.

[14:49] So it's probably just a bunch of that propaganda in that world.

[14:52] But I was wondering if that is the case and you just get like hit by a bus and your brain

[14:58] doesn't have time to like release it.

[15:00] Are you just lights out?

[15:01] So the theory right is that say you're like slowly dying.

[15:06] Yeah.

[15:07] DMT releases.

[15:09] And then you experience that as even if it, if you die seconds later, you experience it

[15:15] as like infinity.

[15:16] Yeah.

[15:17] And that's like the afterlife or heaven or whatever.

[15:19] Yeah.

[15:20] And so you're saying if you die failing, if you got shot in the head.

[15:24] Yeah.

[15:24] Or like an explosion.

[15:25] And anything that shows you, because I wrote also something random I was looking at

[15:31] was if you were in the blast radius of a nuclear bomb, could you feel any of the pain?

[15:35] And it was like for a electrical signal to travel from like your pain receptors to your

[15:42] brain.

[15:42] It's like 0.02 seconds or whatever.

[15:45] And a nuclear blast would kill you in like 0.0004.

[15:50] So you literally would have the physical time for an electrical signal to reach your brain

[15:53] of pain.

[15:54] You just get obliterated.

[15:56] If you're close to the blast.

[15:58] Yeah.

[15:58] I mean, anywhere near where it explodes, it just wipes you out.

[16:04] That's an interesting thought.

[16:05] Yeah.

[16:06] So die in that world or that theory die slow if you want to go to heaven.

[16:11] Yeah.

[16:12] Essentially, which is kind of shitty.

[16:14] I mean, dying slow as opposed to fast.

[16:17] Give me the fast.

[16:18] Why do you mean the fast?

[16:20] This is good.

[16:20] Someone asked me this once, would you rather just get shot in the head and die or get shot

[16:26] like in the stomach and bleed out over like saying hour or so?

[16:32] What kind of question is that?

[16:34] That's what I thought too.

[16:36] Obviously, that head.

[16:37] Obviously, what are we talking about?

[16:39] Think about it though.

[16:41] If you do want to know you're going to die and kind of like get some of your thoughts

[16:45] in order.

[16:46] No.

[16:46] No.

[16:47] What?

[16:48] What?

[16:48] You don't get any last moments?

[16:50] No, painful those last moments would be.

[16:52] No, everyone, you would, you would, you would.

[16:54] What if you get to call your family?

[16:56] While you're bleeding out from a stomach shot?

[16:58] Sure.

[16:59] I guess, but isn't that also severely traumatic?

[17:02] I call my family.

[17:03] I'm like, I just got shot in the stomach.

[17:05] I love you by.

[17:06] Yeah.

[17:07] Wow.

[17:08] I don't know.

[17:09] No, fuck that.

[17:10] I mean, aside from the pain alone, where you, if you get shot and you're dying from,

[17:15] you're bleeding out.

[17:16] There's an element of shock there.

[17:18] I think you're giving shock way more credit than this do.

[17:21] I think if you get shot, I mean, any wound that's going to cause you to bleed out and die,

[17:26] you're not having a good time.

[17:28] And in that shot, so you're saying you're hitting shotgun, then you're also calling your

[17:31] family in shock.

[17:33] I don't know.

[17:35] I would take the bolt to that.

[17:37] How about you?

[17:38] I would do the other one.

[17:40] That surprises me.

[17:41] It does.

[17:42] I, my, my initial response was the same as yours.

[17:45] And then someone kind of explained that to me.

[17:46] I was like, yeah, I would want a second.

[17:49] I'd want a second to like take it in and accept it.

[17:52] I guess just what's the difference?

[17:54] If it, either way, if you go to what, heaven or if it's just nothingness, what's the difference

[18:00] that where you get those seconds to be like, huh, I'm dying.

[18:03] To me, I don't, again, to me, I don't see value and I don't see a difference of lights

[18:10] out as opposed to, huh, I'm dying, where I see the harm, dying is way more painful.

[18:16] Yeah.

[18:17] But to your point, I mean, it's that's like, what's the point of saying last words or any,

[18:22] any of that, like a last meal before death row.

[18:25] Right.

[18:25] Any, any last experience, which in this case would just be thoughts.

[18:29] Yeah.

[18:30] You're not really experiencing anything other than pain.

[18:33] You can, you can settle me.

[18:35] You can settle your mind, though.

[18:36] If it, okay, it would be way different if you're like, you have 20 minutes before you're

[18:40] going to get shot.

[18:41] And now you have time to do whatever.

[18:43] Like the last meal is like that example.

[18:46] We're like, sure.

[18:48] If I'm, if I'm shot and it's like, okay, do you want to, do you want to experience how

[18:53] bad that is or just have none of it?

[18:55] I'm taking the none of it.

[18:57] All right.

[18:58] Even with the last meal one, I think I would rather just be, well, I don't know.

[19:05] I want to be put down clean.

[19:07] I don't want this bleeding out stuff.

[19:09] Sounds terrible.

[19:10] Sure.

[19:11] But I hear you.

[19:14] I also think it'd be traumatic for the family, though, as well.

[19:16] Yeah, but I don't know, man.

[19:19] If you were to call from a fairy.

[19:20] That's an interesting out.

[19:23] That's just, that's so bad.

[19:26] I'd rather remember them is like, I love this person.

[19:29] Instead of having like over an audio recording of them, I mean, I'm dying from a gunshot

[19:35] wound.

[19:36] I mean, I don't, I'm now I'm trying to think of if I were the family member.

[19:40] I mean, I've had family members die.

[19:42] And it's like, it's like, oh, shit, I kind of wish I could have talked to them.

[19:46] Sure.

[19:47] Spent more time with it.

[19:48] Like that's always the first thought in my case.

[19:50] Yeah.

[19:50] Fortunately, no one super, super close, but you have that thought where it's like, man,

[19:56] that sucks.

[19:57] It's true.

[19:57] Like, would I rather receive a goodbye?

[20:00] I had a friend who got into car crash and thought he was going to die and started texting

[20:04] his parents like, hey, goodbye.

[20:07] Dude, oh my God.

[20:08] I assume he made it.

[20:09] He made it.

[20:10] Yes, he's fine now.

[20:11] What happened?

[20:11] Like, how bad was he?

[20:13] He rolled the car several times off the highway.

[20:18] So I don't remember exactly what a lot of he's been up enough to think you fucked up.

[20:23] Yeah, he was bleeding a lot.

[20:25] Yeah, oh man, dude, that's fucking terrifying.

[20:27] Yeah, I don't know.

[20:28] It is a good, the more we talk about it, it is a good question.

[20:32] I don't think I've wavered on my view.

[20:35] It's a tough one, but I also, you're thinking purely from the pain perspective, which would

[20:42] suck a lot.

[20:43] Yeah, but also the pain of what?

[20:45] I just don't.

[20:48] Yeah, I don't know.

[20:49] If it truly is, you get shot and you have a moment to collect your thoughts or you don't,

[20:54] I'm definitely not taking the shot.

[20:56] Anyway.

[20:58] Alright, move on.

[21:01] Puh, puh, puh.

[21:04] Psychology around beautiful, as the Titian of cities by rivers.

[21:09] That definitely doesn't make sense.

[21:11] As the Titian.

[21:11] I think autocrates made it as that is, that's a, that's like a cosmatologist, right?

[21:18] And ask the Titian.

[21:20] Someone who like does, I don't know, like I wrote like a steegeologist.

[21:24] Anathes-e-geologist.

[21:26] Oh, yeah, not this one.

[21:27] No, no, which is very close to that word, but it's.

[21:31] Ask this Titian, but I mean.

[21:34] That's stupid.

[21:35] Oh my god, this is fucked up.

[21:37] Aesthetics, which is just the beauty of stuff.

[21:40] To the eye.

[21:41] But apparently like, well, I just thought about it.

[21:44] We have so many cities and this is maybe more about need than anything around rivers

[21:51] for water.

[21:52] Yeah.

[21:53] But we just have so many around rivers.

[21:54] And when you see, when you're by water in a city, it's so much better.

[21:59] It's way better.

[22:00] It's so amazing.

[22:01] Like our brains are just like, these.

[22:04] I think there's something hardwired for, like you said, safety.

[22:07] You just feel safer if you're close to a body water.

[22:09] Yeah, for sure.

[22:10] For sure.

[22:11] Which again, probably comes from just drinking water.

[22:14] We need that.

[22:15] Probably you go back.

[22:16] It's better to be near water.

[22:17] I suppose the ocean, I guess.

[22:19] You ever drive west through some of those small towns in the middle of nowhere?

[22:23] Oh, yeah.

[22:23] That means I drive up to the river.

[22:25] It's like, what do you do if you live there?

[22:28] I don't know, man.

[22:29] I mean, I think I've told you this before, but like the state of Wyoming has the population

[22:33] of Milwaukee.

[22:34] Yeah.

[22:34] It's like, there's all you have is like oil rig stuff out there that people go out there

[22:39] for work for like months at a time and leave because it's so fucking terrible.

[22:44] And there's just tons of methodictions because people have nothing to do.

[22:47] There's nothing to do.

[22:47] Yeah, there are some, some beautiful nature out there.

[22:50] But yeah, I would not want to live there.

[22:53] I love it.

[22:53] The decodas, that would suck.

[22:56] What even goes on there?

[22:57] It's my rush, more as in one of them.

[22:59] So I think I really think.

[23:00] I don't know what that was.

[23:02] But no, they're horrible.

[23:04] Oh, yeah, I don't know.

[23:05] It's, I love nature, but as I get older, no more than two days in it.

[23:11] You know, like it's, it's like giving, like camping, like giving up your, yeah, conveniences.

[23:18] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[23:18] I mean, if we're in a fucking house and wherever I'm fine, like the place we went for in

[23:23] Colorado, that was, I could stay there for a great, but like actually going out in nature

[23:27] or even living somewhere where you have no contact with anyone.

[23:30] It's hard to, too.

[23:32] Yeah, like a couple days it, it wears down on you.

[23:34] Yeah, just not, not worth it, but yeah, it's a short one.

[23:40] Food addiction, the worst because it's a necessity.

[23:43] I feel like we've talked about this, but I keep seeing, because it's the one thing.

[23:50] I think it's the only addiction that you could have that like, you can never truly be sober

[23:55] from it.

[23:55] Because you have to eat.

[23:57] Yeah.

[23:58] So that's interesting.

[23:59] It's so, it can be addicted to water.

[24:01] I mean, you die real quick.

[24:04] You just start chugging water.

[24:06] Yeah.

[24:06] Dude, people die from that in the military.

[24:08] They'll do like those crazy boot camp things.

[24:09] Yeah.

[24:10] Come back and chug water and you get, I forget what's called like hydro, whatever.

[24:14] It's like oversaturation.

[24:15] Your cell is literally burst.

[24:16] Yeah.

[24:16] So much water.

[24:17] And you die quick.

[24:19] But like thinking of someone, if you have a food addiction, it's like as if you were

[24:26] addicted to heroin and you, you like had to, you know, you're like, you're like,

[24:29] you have to take a low dose forever, but you can never take the big dose.

[24:32] It's weird.

[24:34] And it's fucked up too.

[24:36] I guess, how are you, what are you considering food addiction?

[24:39] Like sugar addiction?

[24:41] Or like, I guess?

[24:42] I'd say anything that like on the outside, it starts to show.

[24:46] Or like if you're, where you start like putting on excess weight.

[24:49] I'd say that's, if you're not doing that, it's interesting.

[24:53] What would food addiction be?

[24:54] But I'd say probably eating a calorie surplus, like well beyond a calorie surplus.

[24:58] Every day, outside of the realm of like, what you need it for exercise or building muscle.

[25:04] Yeah, it's weird because if you don't exercise, your threshold is lower for being addicted

[25:09] to food by that standard.

[25:11] Right.

[25:12] I mean, you're not, yeah, you're not, you're not burning as much as you're consuming, but

[25:17] I just think about that.

[25:18] Thank God we don't have that.

[25:20] It's just, dude, it's suck or the opposite.

[25:23] And eating disorder, well, I guess the food addiction isn't needed disorder, but like anorexia.

[25:28] Do you know that that I think is the number one that top killer for mental disorders?

[25:36] Anorexia?

[25:36] Yeah.

[25:37] Dude, you could see that.

[25:38] Which I never would have thought that, what about just depression?

[25:44] No.

[25:44] Is that under the umbrella of depression?

[25:46] Yeah.

[25:46] And actually it tops out.

[25:47] It kills way more people.

[25:48] More than just stray suicides.

[25:50] Fairly.

[25:51] Above it.

[25:51] And schizophrenia is right below it.

[25:53] Really?

[25:54] Yeah.

[25:54] Which I didn't know that many people were that affected by anorexia.

[25:57] I knew it's a thing, but to the level where you're fucking dying from it.

[26:02] Which it has.

[26:03] I mean, yet you see those people and it's like their bodies must be shutting down.

[26:07] They look like a skeleton.

[26:08] Yeah.

[26:08] It's fucking insane.

[26:09] But we live in a weird world, man.

[26:12] Yeah.

[26:13] Like think of us as a caveman and how like all, none of these issues exist.

[26:18] It's like where you're not eating because of a mental disorder or your gut.

[26:22] It's pretty cut and dry.

[26:23] You need some food.

[26:24] Yeah.

[26:25] Like you're not going to have too much.

[26:26] Yeah.

[26:27] I guess it comes with the complexity of the human mind now.

[26:29] We're like, and social relationships.

[26:32] Yeah.

[26:32] Right.

[26:33] Of how you look.

[26:34] Everything is what anorexia comes from, I think.

[26:36] Yeah.

[26:37] I have no, I mean, there's a lot of, well, yeah.

[26:39] You want to look thin and you kind of see a distorted version of yourself in the,

[26:45] yeah.

[26:45] There's the body, there's more of you apart, but then there's, there's also can just

[26:48] be like some weird shit that happened.

[26:51] You as a kid where some, your parents just like, yeah, I guess it would just be you look

[26:56] like there's a reason for your image, but it's fucking crazy, man.

[26:59] The food addiction, it's also tough because like if your parents don't give you good food

[27:06] when you're a kid, you're, you're just already addicted to like say like sugary foods or whatever.

[27:14] And so you have to break that as you grow up.

[27:17] Yeah.

[27:18] You like, it's like a crack baby.

[27:19] You just like start addicted.

[27:21] Yeah.

[27:21] People have just, some people are dealt really shitty hands.

[27:24] I'd argue probably most people in America are dealt pretty shitty.

[27:27] I was going to say it's, it's very easy to just not eat healthy in America or not give

[27:31] your foods, your kids healthy food.

[27:34] Yeah.

[27:34] And on top of that, people don't know, a lot of the time people don't even know that it's

[27:37] that bad.

[27:38] Yeah.

[27:38] They're just like, it's food.

[27:39] Yeah.

[27:40] Eat it.

[27:41] So not to harp on this for too long, but that's a tough one.

[27:44] It's weird, man.

[27:45] I just see them like, fuck us.

[27:46] It's though, how do you, how do you fix it?

[27:49] I don't, that's like, that's like, never get off of food.

[27:52] So it's just like, how do you, I mean, it's got to be, it probably can be just undone

[27:58] through like, reestabling your relationship with it.

[28:02] But then there's the lifelong addicts of stuff.

[28:04] Like people who are an AA until the end of time, granted that's not one you need alcohol.

[28:08] Yeah, even when they're sober, they still say I'm an alcoholic.

[28:12] Right.

[28:12] Like a lot of them are like that.

[28:14] Not like, I have cured myself.

[28:15] They still think it's, I have the disease.

[28:17] It's always going to be a problem.

[28:18] They always have to work on it.

[28:20] Talk about an exhausting life.

[28:22] You're always trying to not do something.

[28:25] I wonder if, say someone has so-called food addicted, if you just put them in a controlled

[28:31] situation, just gave them healthy food.

[28:34] Don't your cravings kind of change?

[28:37] Yeah.

[28:37] Like the type of food you want.

[28:38] Yeah, but what?

[28:39] Maybe after that.

[28:40] Your, your palate, I think it's too weak.

[28:43] The, the, what is it?

[28:45] The life expectancy of a ton, or a ton receptor cell, I think is 14 days.

[28:54] So if you eat different food for two weeks, by the end of two weeks, you will have a taste

[28:59] for that food.

[29:00] You like that food.

[29:01] Yeah.

[29:01] There it is.

[29:02] That's a solution.

[29:03] I know, but it's like, not a lot of people-

[29:06] Except you go to the grocery store and there's just hostess stuff.

[29:08] Right.

[29:09] Looks so good.

[29:10] You're fighting time.

[29:10] Dude, once you're so deep, you're fighting against like the, there's more and more

[29:16] science that's come out about this stuff over the years of like, aside from the, the

[29:20] ton, uh, taste receptor cell, our bacteria and our gut drive a lot of how we act.

[29:25] Sure.

[29:26] Like, so whatever you're eating is driving how you feel.

[29:30] So if you've been eating steak for the past 10 years, you're a badass.

[29:34] Yes.

[29:35] A, yes, badass.

[29:37] But B, you crave steak because you have steak digesting bacteria in your body.

[29:42] Sure.

[29:43] That creates certain byproducts that aren't great for you.

[29:46] And there's been more science about that.

[29:47] So it's like, that's a fish that takes some willpower to break that cycle.

[29:50] Yeah.

[29:51] They literally call it a binomial axis between your stomach, your gut and your brain.

[29:56] Yeah.

[29:57] It goes both ways.

[29:58] I like, you can get stressed out and get diarrhea, but you can also like-

[30:02] Oh, sure.

[30:03] You're, what's in your gut?

[30:04] It's probably happening to me.

[30:05] No, let me think about it.

[30:07] Yeah, do.

[30:07] Strust diarrhea?

[30:09] Yeah, absolutely.

[30:10] Orst�'s concentration.

[30:10] I've never even thought of that.

[30:12] Yeah.

[30:13] Dang.

[30:13] Bind only an axis, baby.

[30:14] Totally happening to me.

[30:16] But yeah, you hear of ancient tribes calling the gut the second brain stuff like that.

[30:20] It truly is.

[30:21] So it's, it's, it's, it's helpful information to know if you're like, man, I just love cheese.

[30:27] Or I just, I love whatever food.

[30:29] It's because you're eating all the time.

[30:30] If you stop eating that-

[30:32] I have crushed cheese.

[30:33] I know, dude.

[30:33] If you stop eating cheese and ate not that, I guarantee you after a while, I'd be like,

[30:37] you don't want it anymore.

[30:38] Yeah.

[30:39] To the extent that you do now.

[30:41] Wow.

[30:42] It's all based on what you're doing day to day, which is pretty, you know, empowering because

[30:46] it's like your health and your life and your cravings are mostly up to you in the

[30:51] end.

[30:52] It's not some genetic bullshit.

[30:53] Very small percentage of like defined genetic stuff is actually what's running your

[30:59] life.

[31:00] A lot of it's just epigenetic.

[31:01] It's all in our control.

[31:03] Yeah.

[31:03] It's a 95% of it.

[31:05] Nice.

[31:05] Pretty tight.

[31:06] Why'd easier send the down though?

[31:07] Yeah, I'm just gonna do everything better.

[31:10] Uh, okay.

[31:13] This one, I don't even know.

[31:15] Repeated voicemail utility rates and electric, same recording different numbers.

[31:21] What does that even mean?

[31:23] Oh, oh, okay.

[31:25] So I've been getting everyone gets rubble calls, right?

[31:28] All the fucking time you get tons of rubble calls, I wrote calls, everyone gets rubble calls.

[31:33] I've had this one rubble call.

[31:36] That's this guy who says, hey, this is Mike from blah, blah, blah energy.

[31:40] We're just calling about this thing.

[31:42] And it's the same exact message.

[31:45] Nothing changes in the message.

[31:48] Okay.

[31:48] And it's just from, it has to be at a hundred different numbers now.

[31:52] I block one, different number calls.

[31:53] It's just, but it's, the message just change at all.

[31:57] So it's just like this boilerplate, same thing every single time.

[32:02] It's crazy.

[32:03] Maybe they realize they get blocked and just generate a new number to call you from.

[32:07] I mean, yeah, but like you think they'd change the message, right?

[32:11] They'd cast, yeah.

[32:11] That's what I'm like.

[32:12] It's like, yes, yeah, you're just gonna, that's not gonna work.

[32:15] Right.

[32:16] It's to the T the same message every single time.

[32:20] That's super annoying.

[32:21] It is pretty annoying.

[32:22] Because it does sound like a real message, but when you hear it five times from five

[32:26] to four numbers, you're like, oh, this is just a robot call, but it's weird.

[32:31] No finesse.

[32:34] Be better.

[32:35] Sorry, man.

[32:36] It's okay.

[32:37] I'll get through it.

[32:40] This thing just has get swatted by cod players.

[32:43] I don't know.

[32:44] The fuck that means was getting out.

[32:46] Yeah, I don't know.

[32:46] I don't know if I can pass that one.

[32:49] Moment, you wrote that down.

[32:52] Oh, I did.

[32:52] Oh, I'm aware.

[32:53] You thought it was such a talking point.

[32:55] You were gonna write it down.

[32:56] It's something hilarious.

[32:57] Yeah.

[32:57] It sounds like it could be something, but I don't know.

[33:01] Moment of ripping T bag into empty trash can without bag.

[33:08] Wait, what?

[33:09] Hold on, we were just reading your notes live.

[33:11] Well, I need to moment of ripping T bag in the throat.

[33:15] Sounds like you had a horrible experience in T.

[33:17] It was just one of the moments that you're like, it feels like I'm being filmed.

[33:21] It feels like a comedy, but the joke is you.

[33:25] Right, I went and got a fucking...

[33:27] Do you often feel that way in your life?

[33:28] No, every once in a while.

[33:29] It's like every once in a while, you just get thrown in a moment that's like,

[33:32] this is ridiculous.

[33:33] True.

[33:34] So, got a T bag, boiled water,

[33:38] about to put the T bag in the thing.

[33:40] I pulled this little down, it's ripped, and I go, no, fuck.

[33:43] So I take that, I dump the water, I fucking put the T bag in the garbage.

[33:48] I'm like, oh, garbage full.

[33:49] I take out the garbage.

[33:50] Come back upstairs.

[33:52] I do it again.

[33:54] I think I've rifted or something again, something stupid happened.

[33:58] Like, oh, fuck.

[33:58] And I threw the empty open T bag back into the garbage that explodes and it has no trash bag in it.

[34:04] So it was just like, fuck up after fuck up.

[34:06] That left me truly like staying there.

[34:09] What did I just fucking do?

[34:11] It sucks.

[34:11] It's gonna last like anyone set that up for you.

[34:14] I know.

[34:14] You just fucked up.

[34:15] It feels like a prank.

[34:17] It's so fucked up.

[34:18] You pranked yourself.

[34:18] I'm just like, who's doing this to me?

[34:21] And no one, obviously.

[34:22] Did you yell that out?

[34:23] Yeah, I should have.

[34:24] I mean, I think I laughed because it was so ridiculous.

[34:27] It's like non-stop doing wrong.

[34:30] I feel like as a tough, just hysterical after by yourself in your own place.

[34:35] Yeah.

[34:35] It's a tough moment.

[34:36] I've been there.

[34:38] Yeah, I mean, you gotta do it sometimes.

[34:39] As we get older, though, probably have more frequently.

[34:41] Yeah.

[34:41] Or you're like, you just do it.

[34:42] As we get older and stay living alone, for sure.

[34:46] Yeah.

[34:46] It's gonna only be a-

[34:47] Well, just get crazier and crazier.

[34:50] Yeah, fuck.

[34:53] That's gonna happen.

[34:56] Playing the douchebag in a video game league.

[34:59] I'm trying to remember if anyone in the video game league was in wasn't being a douchebag.

[35:04] Wasn't, oh, this is what it was.

[35:06] Okay.

[35:07] The furt, this video game league for the audience, for context, there's this, a local bar has a

[35:15] bunch of other teams.

[35:16] It's you and a friend, playing against other people.

[35:18] The first week we go there, we're like playing and this one team we keep playing, we keep

[35:28] beating and the guys throwing me-

[35:32] He's like, he's being a complimenting bro.

[35:35] I'll be like, oh, dude, you probably fucking play it.

[35:37] You're kicking ass and like, I jokingly leaned into a heart and was like, yeah, you fucking

[35:41] pussy.

[35:42] I'm like, doing, playing into what he's throwing up there.

[35:45] But after every interaction, feeling like, oh, this guy probably just thinks I'm a piece

[35:49] of shit.

[35:50] Because every time he throws me up an alley, you'd be like, oh man, you fucking just

[35:54] kicks this shit out of us.

[35:55] I'm like, yeah, pussy.

[35:57] I'm like, and sometimes-

[35:58] What else can you say to that?

[36:00] I feel like I would say the same thing.

[36:02] Yeah, no, you wouldn't.

[36:04] You would say-

[36:04] Just be like, yeah, like that's annoying.

[36:07] True, true.

[36:08] But it was like, I know the tone wasn't in the tone.

[36:11] It felt- after every time, like, how fuck?

[36:14] I just felt like I'm being- this guy's like, hey man, like good game.

[36:18] I came with you kicked your ass, like, yeah, yeah, you suck.

[36:21] Like that kind of vibe, which I'm trying to be joking, but punching too hard.

[36:25] Sure.

[36:26] And I do that.

[36:27] And then the LU's got softer and softer from him.

[36:29] Like, I just fucking was mean to this guy, trying to be funny.

[36:34] So you noticed him backing off of that a little bit?

[36:37] I mean, after the first one, I was like, oh, that was a little too hard.

[36:39] And then again, then I did it.

[36:40] And he was like, oh, that was also too hard.

[36:42] He gave you a chance to correct it.

[36:43] Yes, he just kept asking.

[36:45] He just seems like, oh, this guy's just mean, like, no, fuck.

[36:49] But so you were an asshole.

[36:51] Yeah, trying to be funny and just coming off as a douche.

[36:55] But that happens a lot.

[36:56] Also, not not with you.

[36:57] I feel like trying to be funny, you're risking being an asshole.

[37:01] Yeah, for sure.

[37:02] I was just lenient to being like the alpha piece of shit.

[37:05] But the whole point was like the funniest persona to me.

[37:08] It is also in a video game league where it's hilarious.

[37:11] Like, I'm being proud about fucking beating the video games.

[37:14] Yeah, it's like a rotically proud.

[37:16] But I could see where it was like, he was trying to be friendly.

[37:18] We don't know each other.

[37:20] And I'm like, yeah.

[37:21] But yeah, how about this?

[37:23] I have a question for you.

[37:25] So the league I play in with this friend, which I think at a certain point,

[37:31] I might address it because it gets so weird is that I'll be playing something.

[37:37] And he'll do the opposite of what a teammate is supposed to do and be like,

[37:40] you fucking suck pussy to me in the game.

[37:44] Every game we play.

[37:45] Hold on, you're too.

[37:46] So, yeah, so say like, I'm in a game and I'm playing other teams, right?

[37:51] Because if you like, typically it'd be just you sometimes.

[37:54] And so my teammate will come up and be like, you fucking suck.

[37:57] You fucking suck to me.

[37:58] And he's not even playing.

[38:00] No, no, he's just doing this to be funny to his credit.

[38:05] But it makes such an awkward space for all the other people.

[38:09] Because they just, it's without being in on the joke, it just seems like he's being

[38:13] serious about us playing games.

[38:14] Be like, you fucking suck, you better fucking win this.

[38:17] You're like, I can do dial it back.

[38:18] Dude, I can feel everyone around us being like, these guys are fucking crazy.

[38:22] He's your teammate.

[38:23] So you guys, he wants you to do well, right?

[38:25] Yeah.

[38:26] It would be way funnier if we just, maybe not funnier.

[38:28] It'd be funnier if he was way too into it.

[38:31] Yeah.

[38:31] Like the other way.

[38:32] And that doesn't even make sense as a joke.

[38:35] But also it's the second I do it back to him.

[38:38] He's so defensive.

[38:39] Like he was, there was giant connect for, who is this guy?

[38:44] This guy in the picture you saw.

[38:46] What you also have him out, he's fine, but he's just, he's still joking around like we

[38:51] did when we were with our high school buddies, which is just like always rip on your

[38:55] buddy.

[38:56] You do nothing but rip on your friend.

[38:57] And that's all you do, which after 30 minutes, you're fucking dumb with it.

[39:01] Like, come on, let's just do some other kind of funny stuff.

[39:03] This is annoying.

[39:06] But there was a connect for game and he was doing it.

[39:08] And he missed an obvious one.

[39:10] And I was like, the fuck was that?

[39:11] He's like, what are you talking about?

[39:12] You lost the lead.

[39:13] Like you got serious after I did it to him.

[39:15] I was like, oh, I, he doesn't even realize what he's doing.

[39:17] Kind of, for his tough, because that's a game of intelligence.

[39:20] So when you fuck up, you feel like a real idiot.

[39:22] And he fucked up in a bad spot.

[39:24] He fucked up on an obvious one.

[39:26] And I thought it'd be fun to do the jab that he was doing.

[39:28] And then immediately got like, what are you like?

[39:30] I'm gonna fuck you.

[39:30] I can't believe that.

[39:31] I was like, okay, there's a level of awareness that's not there of what's going on.

[39:35] Yeah, you got to know the game.

[39:37] Which I guarantee you by talking to me like, oh, fuck.

[39:39] So he's fine.

[39:41] But it was just funny that it's like, people, it felt like the vibe of it.

[39:46] If I'm, if I was a woman in an abusive relationship and my guy was yelling at me in a bar,

[39:53] that's how it felt the people feeling around me.

[39:55] It's like they're witnessing someone abuse someone.

[39:56] Oh, shit.

[39:57] You better fucking win this.

[39:59] You like dude calm down.

[40:00] I guess like two people are, aside from me calling that what being a douchebag to that one

[40:04] guy, now everyone thinks that you're, maybe he was feeding off of your energy towards

[40:08] the other.

[40:08] He wasn't even buying me when that was happening.

[40:10] Okay.

[40:11] So maybe everyone hates you in this way.

[40:14] It's very possible.

[40:16] Both of you.

[40:16] They didn't, they didn't buy us out for drinks this week and I didn't go.

[40:19] So I think, I think we're still in.

[40:21] But, okay, well, you didn't go.

[40:23] So you might be out now.

[40:24] That's true.

[40:25] That's true.

[40:26] Okay.

[40:27] Anyway.

[40:27] Okay.

[40:29] What time we got?

[40:30] There we go.

[40:31] Like 20 minutes.

[40:32] Okay.

[40:33] Um, all I got here is dating me is like setting yourself on fire.

[40:40] That's what I don't think that was about me.

[40:42] I would hope not.

[40:44] Do you feel that way?

[40:46] No, I don't think so.

[40:47] Did someone say that?

[40:49] I think probably.

[40:50] But yeah, well, that's, that's one of the props on pinch dating me is like.

[40:55] Oh.

[40:56] And then you fell in.

[40:56] And that's exactly what it was.

[40:58] That's what it was.

[40:59] That's what it was.

[41:00] That's okay.

[41:01] So another prompt, right?

[41:03] I look at it and I go, why would, why ain't that's kind of funny?

[41:08] I would play with it.

[41:09] I would swipe right.

[41:13] You just swipe right?

[41:14] I don't, I don't think so.

[41:16] I mean, but you really got to hope that it's a humor thing and not.

[41:21] Oh, it's for sure.

[41:22] Oh, and unless I see the thing we talked about last time of the Omaha

[41:26] hot mess, it's so you can't handle me.

[41:29] Yeah, that's the feel I get from that.

[41:32] Dating me is like setting yourself on fire.

[41:34] That one's almost so extreme though.

[41:35] I feel like it, it's clearly a joke.

[41:38] It's definitely closer to comedy.

[41:39] Yeah, then it is being like, you can't handle this like that fucking shit.

[41:43] Yeah, that's, that's what I saw.

[41:45] And I was like, Jesus Christ.

[41:46] What are we doing here?

[41:48] Which it probably works.

[41:50] Yeah, there are, you do see people with just super negative responses sometimes.

[41:54] Where's the prompt?

[41:55] To the prompts.

[41:56] Like negative in the means like demeaning themselves or like demeaning hourly.

[42:00] I mean, like I'm the, I'm trying to think of what the prompts are.

[42:03] But like things, like we won't get along or something like that.

[42:07] God.

[42:08] It's like what?

[42:09] That's like super dry humor if that's a joke.

[42:12] Sure.

[42:13] Yeah, just without context, it's so hard to tell with these things.

[42:17] Yeah, with someone you don't, I mean, speaking of your situation that you just talked about,

[42:21] where do you just don't know the person if you get your humor?

[42:24] Yeah.

[42:24] It's impossible on a dating app with written responses.

[42:27] That, yeah, that's fair.

[42:29] But man, I keep thinking I'm going to run out of material from these dating apps, but I

[42:32] just started swiping right on these pages.

[42:34] I took a snapshot of a, of a dude's profile that came up on the girls one and I totally

[42:39] fricked.

[42:39] I didn't swipe right on them, but I found one that's, it's literally just a dude.

[42:44] Whenever I was telling you that like, there'll just be a guy's profile.

[42:48] Oh, yeah.

[42:48] Oh, yeah.

[42:49] I'll show you after this.

[42:51] Would you swipe right on?

[42:51] No, I told you.

[42:52] I was just going through it instinctively.

[42:54] I was just like, no, like that.

[42:55] And I was like, oh, shit.

[42:56] I had to fucking, you couldn't save it.

[42:58] Yeah.

[42:58] Well, I got, I mean, I got the snapshot, but then, so I guess non instinctively I did it.

[43:03] But anyway, I'll show you the picture.

[43:04] I, dude, I saw a girl once.

[43:08] What, what's the problem?

[43:10] Oh, yeah, a special talent.

[43:11] That's one of them.

[43:12] It's like a special talent of mine is.

[43:14] She wrote, I can quifon command.

[43:17] Pretty cool.

[43:18] Crazy.

[43:19] Crazy for a dating app.

[43:20] Yeah.

[43:21] I mean, that's more tender level.

[43:23] I'm impressed.

[43:23] I know.

[43:24] Yeah.

[43:24] I feel like that stuff gets filtered out when you get to like the hinges and the bumbles.

[43:28] Right.

[43:29] But, hey, man, the talent, I can't do it.

[43:32] I certainly can't do it.

[43:33] Why can't we pee?

[43:36] Wouldn't that be tight?

[43:36] You just fart out your fucking pee all night?

[43:39] That sounds, that sounds painful.

[43:42] It's just air.

[43:43] I mean, it's not like it's a ton of air.

[43:46] Maybe you, yeah, I don't know.

[43:47] Yeah.

[43:48] Well, I could find answer that one.

[43:50] All right.

[43:50] Yeah.

[43:51] Maybe he's scienceful.

[43:52] I want to think about that.

[43:55] That's going to be nice.

[43:56] Is that out the front?

[43:57] Oh, Jesus.

[43:59] Oh, Mike smells good.

[44:02] Oh, Mike.

[44:04] People asking for your review than making, oh, I mean, another pet.

[44:08] I have like a thousand pet peeves before I can take.

[44:11] Do you have anything?

[44:12] I don't want to like, I feel like I talk so much on these.

[44:15] No, no, you can do that.

[44:17] Good conversation fodder.

[44:19] Okay.

[44:20] Pet peeve.

[44:22] You've submitted some work.

[44:24] Everyone can relate to this in a job.

[44:26] You need someone or no, someone submits work to you.

[44:30] You're reviewing it in the middle of you reviewing it.

[44:32] They know you're reviewing it.

[44:33] They change something and don't even tell you.

[44:36] But because I work in the software world, you see that changes are pushed to the branch.

[44:40] Yeah.

[44:41] And then I go reach out and go, hey, did you change stuff?

[44:45] And they go, yeah, yeah, I changed, you know, this file, this file.

[44:49] When you're mid review.

[44:50] Yeah.

[44:51] Then they go, okay, so I got to relook at those files then.

[44:55] Yeah, you should probably take one of those.

[44:57] Okay.

[44:59] Okay.

[45:01] I just don't.

[45:01] Yeah, super annoying.

[45:04] Just a minute, I can see bubbling up with Ray.

[45:06] Man, just an apology.

[45:08] Just a sorry.

[45:09] Sorry, I meant to tell you about this.

[45:11] Just say, yeah, you should probably look at that again.

[45:13] That's tough.

[45:14] Oh my god.

[45:15] Or, I mean, if I wouldn't have reached out to him, would have said anything.

[45:18] Yeah.

[45:19] I would have just then just hoped that those files are okay.

[45:23] Close my mind.

[45:25] Yeah.

[45:26] People are stupid.

[45:27] But he's, they're not like that.

[45:29] Like that guy, or I'm getting to a specific now.

[45:35] Just people that are, again, I've said this, I feel like a million times.

[45:39] But when you're like working with people who are high performers in their job,

[45:42] but then they do shit, that's not like, it's so not what you would think of

[45:47] as a higher performer.

[45:49] Sure.

[45:49] And I'm like, what, what, what?

[45:51] Why am I the guy who has three years in this field and you have 25 years in this field?

[45:56] They're just doing that.

[45:58] Maybe it is just a, once you get to a point, you're like, I don't know what the fuck.

[46:01] You still carrying it.

[46:01] What sucks?

[46:02] Because then it's like, but if they broke production, they'd give a fuck.

[46:05] Because that would have broke production.

[46:07] Anyway.

[46:09] Do you feel me on this one?

[46:10] I do for sure.

[46:11] Okay.

[46:14] Chromium trend kills.

[46:16] Oh, dude.

[46:17] Remember a long time ago I told you a story about I went to a camp in like eighth grade

[46:21] and they sprayed a whole ax contained into this.

[46:23] Yeah.

[46:24] There's a girl who died from doing that.

[46:26] No way.

[46:27] Yeah.

[46:28] Apparently there's a, just like the tide pod trend, which is being that there's a trend

[46:34] going around where I think it's, it was called the Chromium trend where they're just like

[46:39] painting the insides of their mouth with like, like with a, like body spray.

[46:44] Sorry.

[46:45] Painting's not the right word, but you know what I mean.

[46:47] And so in a girl died from it.

[46:48] Why would you do that?

[46:49] Sounds horrible.

[46:50] I don't know.

[46:51] But then I think like we didn't kill.

[46:53] It's a miracle that kid didn't die that we sprayed a full ax can to his mouth.

[46:58] Oh my God.

[46:59] Yeah.

[46:59] Tied pods at least look like they taste good.

[47:01] Yeah.

[47:02] Spraying deodorant.

[47:03] Yeah.

[47:04] Did anyone die from tide pods?

[47:06] I think so.

[47:06] I think that's why there was such a big crazy.

[47:08] I mean, you put detergent in your body, dude.

[47:10] People, I thought people were just biting them.

[47:12] They were like fully eating them.

[47:14] Yeah, but if you're swallowing detergent.

[47:15] Yeah, no, I know that would kill you.

[47:17] I didn't know people were actually doing that.

[47:18] I don't know.

[47:19] I mean, also like you got your variety of, there's probably tide pods with bleach out there.

[47:23] If you, if you bite in that, swallow that, yeah, that'll probably rip up your insides.

[47:28] Pretty bad.

[47:29] Yeah.

[47:30] Dude, what were kids doing stuff like that when we were young?

[47:33] Like were there ever, ever dreams like that?

[47:35] You sprayed stuff and someone's mouth.

[47:38] I mean, we didn't have the internet.

[47:39] But like the internet actively doing stuff to them.

[47:42] Like, I'm going to eat a tide pod.

[47:45] I'm going to say yes, but there was no TikTok to spread it to the whole world.

[47:50] And then everyone else starts doing it.

[47:52] Gotcha.

[47:52] So it's probably just an amount.

[47:54] There was no trend like that.

[47:56] There.

[47:57] Yeah, it's a weird one.

[47:58] All right, you ever, you ever hear when people are like training dogs or they say like,

[48:04] they say their dogs food motivated?

[48:07] You ever hear this?

[48:08] Sure, yeah.

[48:09] Oh yeah.

[48:09] Which is every dog.

[48:10] Look, is there any dog that's not food motivated?

[48:15] I've never, I worked at a doggy daycare for five years.

[48:18] I've never seen a dog that if I pull out food, they don't lose their shit.

[48:23] It's 100% of dogs.

[48:24] Why do people say that?

[48:25] Oh, yes, food motivated.

[48:27] Who started that?

[48:29] It's like, yeah, no, it's motor.

[48:30] He's this one, the specific dog motivated by food.

[48:34] That one, uh-uh.

[48:35] He doesn't give a shit.

[48:36] It's like every animal pretty much.

[48:39] Yeah.

[48:39] You could argue that dogs especially, but yeah.

[48:43] Because they also see cats are kind of that way too.

[48:46] Yeah, cats, I could see more being chill.

[48:49] Like there's definitely cats that, I guess.

[48:52] But again, the food, the dog one is such a weird, I just don't know why people say it.

[48:57] Why do people say redundant shit?

[48:59] I don't know.

[49:00] I have like, nice.

[49:04] Good point.

[49:08] Uh, animals buttholes.

[49:11] I have a problem with them.

[49:12] Okay.

[49:13] Specifically pet buttholes.

[49:15] Why are they just so out there?

[49:17] They really show them.

[49:18] Yeah.

[49:18] Yeah, cats always have their tails up.

[49:20] Yeah, and dogs.

[49:22] And dogs.

[49:22] Both of them.

[49:23] It's just like, they're so cute.

[49:25] And then the whole cuteness can be ruined by them just showing you an asshole.

[49:28] It's got, it's got dingo berries on it.

[49:30] It looks fucking weird.

[49:31] I just, has anyone made something to like, to cover the bottle?

[49:36] To cover a bottle, like a little necklace or something?

[49:39] I feel like that'd be a crazy good thing.

[49:40] A bottle necklace?

[49:41] Like all the tail?

[49:43] It just hanging around the tail.

[49:44] So just kind of like, this whole flap, yeah.

[49:46] That's a good idea.

[49:47] Someone's probably, dude, with the animal would just like rip that off.

[49:51] Yeah, and the tail so, yeah.

[49:53] That'd probably just fly off.

[49:54] But man, one of my friends is a cat that specifically likes, it'll sit on your lap and

[49:59] then it'll turn and face away from you.

[50:01] And lift its tail up and show you its bottle.

[50:03] It just always does that.

[50:05] I hate it.

[50:06] Yeah, it's kind of annoying.

[50:07] It's so disturbing, but I guess we, it's just weird because like we as humans, to see

[50:12] our bottles, you have to spread cheeks.

[50:15] Yeah, and we're gonna always be like, in like a hotel bathroom, you just catch a unexpected

[50:19] mirror angle.

[50:21] Of your bottle?

[50:22] Yeah, and there's just so many mirrors.

[50:24] You put it, I can't see my bottle.

[50:27] How are you talking about it?

[50:28] Get out of the shower, pick up a towel, look to the left, ricochet off like three walls

[50:33] and see your body.

[50:34] Oh, okay, but you're bending over yourself.

[50:35] Yeah, yeah.

[50:35] I was gonna say standing, you could never see a bottle.

[50:37] Just right, yes.

[50:39] Okay, all right.

[50:40] Any scenario where there's mirrors everywhere and you don't like know the room.

[50:44] I'm gonna be honest with you.

[50:47] I don't think I've ever accidentally seen my bottle.

[50:50] Really?

[50:51] Yeah.

[50:52] It's happened to me in a hotel before.

[50:55] Obviously.

[50:55] Some high end hotels, just covering glass.

[50:58] Like whenever I have some in my bottle, I've had to spread my cheeks to look at my bottle.

[51:03] I haven't seen it many times.

[51:05] Yeah, it's a very rare thing to see.

[51:07] So now the animals that are just like, it is exposed to open air at all times.

[51:12] It's crazy.

[51:13] I have to lick their bottles.

[51:14] That's true.

[51:15] I guess I have to lick.

[51:16] Yeah.

[51:17] It gets bad.

[51:17] I had a friend who had a cat.

[51:19] It got so bad, it couldn't lick its bottle anymore.

[51:22] And it just, it got disgusting.

[51:24] Oh, that's fucking tough.

[51:26] You're seeing like monkeys butts.

[51:27] How gross they are.

[51:29] That's like, like, like, like, yeah, it's, how can we have like cheeks around ours?

[51:34] Because we, wow.

[51:36] Like everything else, everything in the animal kingdom has like an excuse.

[51:40] Our bottle is harder to see.

[51:42] Yeah, harder to get to.

[51:43] It's a very unique factor in humans where we have like a butt that conceals the butthole.

[51:48] Like a pronounced butt cheek.

[51:50] And everything else is like, oh, there's its butthole.

[51:53] Like it's, it's like horses kind of have butt cheeks.

[51:57] Yeah, but they got their tail goes out.

[51:59] There's a bottle there.

[52:01] Yeah.

[52:01] I feel like I feel like no animals, cheeks, conceal a butthole.

[52:05] The thing is animals are on all fours though.

[52:10] We walk upright.

[52:11] That's a great point.

[52:13] So the buttholes stretched out.

[52:14] That's true.

[52:14] If we were on all fours, you'd see that butthole.

[52:18] Yeah.

[52:18] You just answer the question.

[52:19] Problem solved.

[52:20] Dude.

[52:20] That's what we're doing here on the fake problems podcast.

[52:24] Uh, uh, well, all right.

[52:25] What time are we at though?

[52:26] I don't want to.

[52:27] Let's do like one more.

[52:28] All right.

[52:29] You know what?

[52:29] Haka's are the like, uh, war cry chant things that like the Hawaiian people do.

[52:35] It's called a Haka.

[52:36] Well, they like, I know that.

[52:38] You know what I'm talking about?

[52:39] I'm saying.

[52:39] They're like, they don't like do a big dance.

[52:41] It's been like popularized.

[52:42] Like, kind of, like kind of luau?

[52:44] No, it's like a, a war dance of the tribesmen of Hawaii or something used to do.

[52:50] It's called a Haka and people started to popularize it where they like do it in like certain

[52:55] NFL teams would start to like do it before a game and she like that.

[52:58] Oh, were they arms over shoulders and like rock back.

[53:01] Yeah.

[53:02] Yeah.

[53:02] That's bad ass.

[53:04] I feel like it's not.

[53:06] That's the argument.

[53:08] Yeah.

[53:08] We're like, I feel like it's, it looks so silly to me.

[53:11] Really?

[53:12] Like, just doing it feels.

[53:15] If you think about it rationally for sure.

[53:18] Yeah.

[53:18] It seems a little silly.

[53:20] I just, when I look at it, it looks so performative and like they're not, and they're not going

[53:25] to war.

[53:25] I get that it's like a metaphor for what they're about to do.

[53:29] Yeah.

[53:29] But it looks so like bad actors doing a silly dance and they're all grown men.

[53:35] Saying like specifically in football.

[53:37] No, I've seen a bunch of them.

[53:37] You're just others because like sports.

[53:39] Yeah, sports, but then also just like motivational stuff and people doing a Haka's and like,

[53:44] oh, God.

[53:45] It just, what, like, what motivational like a Tony Robbins talk or something?

[53:49] Yeah, something of that nature.

[53:50] We're like, we're going to like get our energy up.

[53:52] That feels super weird.

[53:53] Yeah.

[53:54] But it's just like this energetic war dance thing and it feels so.

[54:00] Especially when it's not sports players, it's even like outside of sports, that seems

[54:04] crazy.

[54:05] Yeah.

[54:06] I can get behind it for, for like a pre kick off football, football type of thing.

[54:11] You just got to psych yourself up.

[54:13] Yeah.

[54:13] Maybe it's just the group aspect of it for me.

[54:16] When I, it reminds me of like a flash mob.

[54:19] We're like, when I see it, when I see a grozer badass, they're fine.

[54:24] It's not like they were cool when things flashmob are cool.

[54:29] They had a moment, but after the thousandth one, I'm like, we're just, we're doing some

[54:35] there.

[54:35] I mean, they've just found out you don't see them anymore.

[54:38] No, not really.

[54:40] Haka's have taken over.

[54:42] But I just, I just see a group of people like pretending it's like when you, you're like

[54:48] the stakes aren't high enough.

[54:49] Yeah, to be doing a war.

[54:52] Yeah.

[54:52] I don't know.

[54:53] It's a weird.

[54:53] All I know is I see it and I go, it gives me a second hand.

[54:57] It's the last time you've seen it.

[54:59] I don't remember.

[55:00] I saw a reason, whenever I put this on the list, I saw one.

[55:03] It was non-sport.

[55:04] I remember being like, oh, man, it gives me second hand embarrassment to like watch it.

[55:09] Dang.

[55:09] Yeah.

[55:10] Anyway.

[55:12] Uh, what?

[55:13] Oh, that was probably the last one, right?

[55:16] Yeah.

[55:17] Yeah, we already did peeps.

[55:19] Anything else?

[55:20] Well, it was one small last 21, but are all carnivores gay because they eat nuts?

[55:29] It's a good joke.

[55:31] Let's do right there.

[55:32] I don't know.

[55:33] I don't know if I heard it or if I wrote it originally, but they're all eating nuts

[55:38] and asshole.

[55:39] You could argue they're eating the dick.

[55:40] They're eating everything.

[55:43] It's pretty gay.

[55:44] It's pretty gay.

[55:46] I mean, there's a, there's a Rocky Mountain Noisters.

[55:49] Like, uh, those are bolted articles, right?

[55:53] I've never had one.

[55:54] Same.

[55:55] I mean, I guess it's good for you.

[55:59] Good protein.

[56:01] Yeah.

[56:02] What do you mean?

[56:02] I mean, it'd be weird eating a genital of something.

[56:05] Any kind of genital would be, if I'm like, you're so bad.

[56:08] A giraffe vagina.

[56:10] I'm like, I don't want to fucking eat that.

[56:12] But then it's like, what's the difference between eating that and like eating other things?

[56:16] Like an armpit, which you've probably eaten before.

[56:20] Probably an armpit.

[56:22] Probably an armpit.

[56:23] I don't know what nuts would look like cooked.

[56:25] That would be a deal breaker for me.

[56:27] I mean, they just, which is looking good.

[56:29] I mean, I've seen what the Rocky Mountain Noisters are like a fried nut sack.

[56:32] No, no.

[56:33] Are you saying like, is it, the Rocky Mountain Noisters are like, they're just

[56:38] they're not in a sack.

[56:40] I think they're like, this is just a ballroom.

[56:43] It's like a ball of fried dough.

[56:44] That makes more sense.

[56:46] It'd be hilarious though if they had like a sack.

[56:48] They're hanging from something.

[56:51] Like a banana.

[56:51] Just the basis fried.

[56:54] But yeah, so good thing to end on.

[56:56] All right.

[56:57] Cool.

[56:57] See you next time, people.
