Subscribe on YouTubeWe're alive with another episode. Hello everyone. Yes. Hello indeed. All right, into the topics. Yeah, okay.
So we're going to recap our failed. Sure. Yeah, I feel like it'll make it more authentic. We were recording last time, got 20 minutes in and realized that one of the
likes was not on the entire fucking idiot. It's pretty fucking bad. It's on both of us. We didn't test. More out. Yeah, sure. Yes, we can share that's fine. I'll take you
to have a sucked. We covered maybe three topics worth 20 minutes of podcasting. It would have been the best thing you've ever heard. It was it was
pretty solid. I'm not going to lie, but we're just going to start from where we did last time because we don't remember
proper wife or improper horror. And if I remember this, let's go through the motions. It was aligned from some historical movie. And then I looked it up of like there was only really
two pass in his, this is like 1600 Japan, where you're like, marry someone or you're just working a warehouse. And there's no real in between. You're just, that's all you got.
You either suck dick for a living or you just hope you marry someone that's okay. Yeah, like a fucking monster. And that's just it. That's just life. I imagine so many monsters back. Oh my God. I mean, which I feel like I mentioned this last time, it wasn't
of course, it doesn't matter. Women were just property. If you view something as property. Your most people treat their things okay at best. Yeah. And then if you're if the property suddenly starts acting like you
don't want it to. Then you like you have even more reason to treat terribly. It's just a terrible situation. Like if my coach started misbehaving, I'd be pissed off. Probably hit it. Yeah.
So I don't know. And then had this conversation. I don't know how I got into this topic, but I talked about this whole like, you know, it would be better if everyone had rights all the time going back in history. And my one friend brought up how. Yeah, but it like couldn't work out that way in terms of the world will set up. And. Yeah, which we kind of talked about this last time. Where it's this situation.
Of overstepping of feeling like I'm it would be better if everything was equal no matter the circumstances, but historical circumstances like if the women the woman and the man in like a medieval era time or even farther back it's like.
They're farming and men would just be stronger like they need each other in some sense to procreate but then also to for the man to work the farm and have the labor and have the children right. It just only worked in that sense. So the rules were established way back for a reason out of necessity. Right. And it wasn't just like peer oppression. Right. It wasn't like laws in place to keep people down. I should say intended oppression. Right.
There was no.
Writing, you know, there was no.
He just again laws of just hey, women can only do this, many can only do this people are just doing what they had to do to live in those circumstances. And that's just how it ended up.
And then just the social norm gets reinforced as well, making it harder to break. Right. And then we get to a point in history like now where it's like it needs to change obviously because.
Everyone can have a choice. Essentially as opposed to like you have to work a farm what's the best situation for this between a man and woman. Yeah, make it work.
We don't rely on manual human labor as much. Yeah, we use machines now.
So yeah, I think that's all I asked about. It's a good synopsis. Yeah, I feel like I did it better last time. I feel so inauthentic.
Like Rick's I know I'm resaying, but they people haven't heard it are too listen.
Just our massive audience, but it feels weird to say it again. So onto the next one, everything is a neurological approximation.
I feel like we talked about this last time too.
All right, let's fucking do this one, but it's it is everything is perception.
Yes, there's, you know, there's a somewhat absolute if you jump into a volcano.
You brought up the color thing like what if my red is different than your red? Yeah, like my red literally looks like what you think blue is, but we both see like our everyone says, oh, this one's red, but because we it doesn't matter that we see it differently because in our eyes, we associate that word with what you're seeing.
Yeah, it's weird, but then also that like everything you're like how I perceive you and how your emotions are and how you react to things can be totally different from how you are actually feeling internally.
Yeah, and there's no way to ever really know.
Yes, even if I go, hey, how are you feeling and you answer me, you could be lying. I could never know.
Everything could total well, or even like I could also be not even knowing that I'm lying. I guess not even I could be like I could think I'm fine and just not be fine as well.
Yeah, or how about this? I think a better not better, but maybe lateral is like you say, oh, no, I was happy and your perception of being happy is so much more different than mine.
Sure. Yeah, when you are happy. So it's like we're both going, oh, happy person, even though it's totally different for me than it is for you and we're happy.
So it's like, and how how big are those margins per person like this person's happy versus this person's sad versus this person's red for this person's blue like how big is the margin?
Can it be huge? I think it's huge. I mean, it can't well, I think it's tremendously huge.
I think that's why like fostering a close relationship where we actually understand someone well is so rare.
True, but they do happen. Yeah, yeah. I feel like the relationship one can get really complex in terms of like maybe not a misperception of like emotions, but maybe wants and needs.
Which I see what you're saying though as well, because it's like if I use a I need more affection from my partner and they interpret that as like gift giving or something that's not the affection you want.
I think that's a big problem of, I mean, people talk about the love language. Yeah.
Like people try to show you affection in a way that like they would like they would appreciate, but it just doesn't.
Right. It doesn't hit the same way for that person. Yeah. And then you asked the question. How far is worth it, which is that you know that's there's a million answers for like accommodating someone until you go, this is just in the match.
You know, I've had that point with a bunch of relationships where like you get to a point. Should I keep going? Yeah.
Trying to fit a fucking square into a triangle hole. You're just like it's just at a certain point you have to you have to shave off so much of the square to make it a triangle that it's not even a square.
And you lost your soul. Exactly. I was like a one edge, but yeah.
Yeah. I don't know. It's it's it goes. I think we talked about this last time when it gets to the point of if we can reach a point where we have like the neuro link shit where we can like understand each other or just you know, you just get an alert like that person cross the bar.
They match with you pretty well. That'd be awesome. I'd be so down with that. There's no there's no work because you know how much of do it cut out all work work sucks.
Half the reason why I don't I haven't dated in the past like year and a half. I it's so much work to get to the place before you know.
Okay, this is something it takes like months of like and the meeting them the meeting the parents the the multiple hangouts the dinners and then it could all just get me.
I mean at this point I'm like, but you farther back you go it could be a concern. Yeah, but it's just I've had so many were well everyone 100% of them I get to a point where I go. Yeah, we just we got this far and I don't I don't want to go any farther.
And at this point my life is so much work to do it again. Love that we're opening with this. This is beautiful.
It's I don't know man it and granted I'll probably find someone eventually like oh it to change the whole game because seems to happen to people.
But the work man is just so much not to say that they also didn't do the work as well.
But just yeah from both sides it's a lot it's a lot of work and it's just it sucks getting to that point where it's like okay I think I know you.
What do we do now yeah I just double down for life on this. Yeah, it's it's also I think we've never been in love I think that's that's probably it I don't it's dude that's another one that's so hard to because I've had relationships where I've been in for multiple years.
I'm like I could see myself spending my life with this person and then something happens and we're like.
Guess it we just can't make this work like it's it has which I don't know if that was love though except told I don't know how many people I told probably every girlfriend I've had that I love them at some point anyone that's lasted beyond a year.
Which feels sometimes forced.
Where your life feels like a good time if you're not time limit on it but it's like you should probably probably like no at that point yeah let's back in reverse engineering for a second if you're not saying I love you by a year it can get a little weird if you're like I like you so much.
It's a years alone.
But at the same time there it does feel like there's some societal norm to be like I have to tell them I love them after a certain time even though I don't know because there's like infatuation where you're like oh man you like passionate about this person yeah I don't know if I felt like companion love where like you get to a place where like.
You you feel like that you can trust this person with your life you depend on each other you genuinely like you would do most things for this person if not all things for this person if it came to it I've ever had that my life.
With romantic partners I should say.
Yeah yeah I think the doing things for people is a big one also just like being knowing you could spend the rest your life with someone.
Yeah that's that's always a hard one yeah there's probably I mean I know I have attachment issues not to sound like everyone says that but there's probably a reason why every one of my relationships gets to around two years and then ends.
Usually I'm the one point the trigger for no you know no other reason than like I find a reason to end it there's something wrong that two years.
As you said you said you get to a certain point that something happens is there always is it like an argument that ends it for you heard.
Is it just kind of like there's been time I had someone cheat on me that was a legitimate reason to be like.
Oh I mean yeah for sure where I've been like okay now we're not doing this like how could I trust you for the rest of my life if you just did this after two years but then there's been ones where I got to two years and I was like I don't think you're a nice person and that was good reason to yeah that was a weird one.
Because my the classic situation of you don't realize that it wasn't a abusive relationship but like I was dating someone who was just not nice to people in general and my friends who lived a walk a shot with their neighbors to me were like I was telling them the situation and we were out to dinner and they're like that's not normal they're they're no loving relationship they're gay couple and they're like that's what you're experiencing is not she's gaslighting you.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. And then I literally after that dinner called her and said I just need to end this and she said she asked me why I said you're just not nice.
I said that's her and then how did she take that. She's like why not I was like I just got to go and then there was periods of you know it didn't end abruptly.
Right. She. She lived in Chicago at the time. So like I like had drove down there and party at a club and then she ended up at the club and went back like there it was a little bit of.
Yeah. Pieces of us like sleeping over and then it was around Thanksgiving and she was like we like starting to ramp back up.
She's like so what like am I going to your place or you come to mind like I don't think we should keep doing this. This is not not right. So. But yeah. It seemed like.
Actually I think we're talking about I feel like I've had legitimate reasons to end things.
I guess shorter term the latest person I dated that one was like there was no good reason to end it other than I just was like I just don't.
I don't want to not feel on it now and there's that's the hardest break up hands down has been the hardest when you don't ever yeah absolutely telling that person being like we need to break up.
Anyway, how about you typically legitimate reasons or do you find some I've had like one of each.
Okay. What you're what you've said. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to go into my most recent one. Don't you understand?
A little too fresh. I'm I'm a keep both from out of it. But yeah. No, it's I know what you're saying and yeah, I don't I don't want to say too much.
What were we talking about? They got to this neurological approximation leading leading to making a relationship work.
Which I wonder if there is some threshold you hit though after 10 years 20 years where you're like.
Oh, this is what this is. You know, because I feel like in regards to what like people like the understanding of the other person.
You know, they're so well that you're like this is what it is. And I know what I'm truly signing up for now. And don't give me wrong people can still throw curveballs later in life.
But my parents have been married for 30ish years or 25 years somewhere around there. But like they have to at this point just know each other's a degree of like I know exactly what we're doing.
Exactly. It's probably it's an absolute. But you know what I mean? Like this is the person I'm signed up for this. We're doing this. It's locked down. I just wish that would happen sooner.
Like it would be sure I'd be like, Oh, I know what you're all about.
Well, because that's just one piece. I would say that it's sure and important people. You also got to like be like, OK, now I know you I trust that this is you.
Do I want this forever? Right. Yeah. That second part is the hard part for me. I think probably because I'm not that old yet.
Yeah, it's hard to think that far as as a person as a human. Like our brains. I feel like you're not configured to be like, what is this going to be like 30 years later?
Like I never think about that. To my parents got married 2322. Yeah.
And they just have seemingly like the healthiest relationship. Ever it's like, how do you do that?
Some of that. Do we come from very similar families married young. They knew each other though since their life. I can't even imagine that.
Getting married at that age. A lot of people do. I know. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Think of yourself at that age. It's a crazy thing to think.
I was being married and not ready to get a monster. Oh God. Yeah. That's terrifying. We're having a kid at that age would be fucking awful too.
For me specifically. Yeah. People pull it off for everyone. Yeah. For every as I'm a product of that kind of relationship.
All right. Let's get away from neurological approximation. Go to dating apps. Yes. All right. This is something I've noticed since the beginning of time on any dating app.
But it always makes me feel a little weird. When women have like modeling pictures further like pictures on these dating.
Not like professional. Yeah. Like who? Why are they doing that? Like it feels fake. It feels weird. It feels like an inauthentic kind of.
Yeah. But also like who takes the time to go. I don't know. I've never in my head, which I'm not a woman. So maybe it's different. But because I like I'm going to go do a photo shoot.
Like go do a photo shoot in general is insane to me. Yeah. What do they do for a living? Are they a model? No. I mean, it's like literally normal people that have just like photo shoots.
It rubs me in a weird way where I'm like, what kind of this is coming from maybe a projecting of a shallow place. But it feels very vang to go. I'm going to go get a photo shoot of myself for non professional reasons.
I'm just going to have this. Yeah. What professional reasons could you need it for other than dating? That's not professional reason. That's that's just your own personal reason. Well, you think they do it for dating apps. I don't know. Why would you have a professional model like a professional photo shoot session. And you're not a model.
I don't know. Who does that? Like there was one point where it was named. Big photographer. He's like, dude, let's get all the boys together. I'm going to take some dope pictures for the dating apps. I was like, okay. So I mean, I'm guessing other people do that. I guess so.
I guess you have even friend who offers. I still feel weird. I personally, if someone's like, I'm going to, if I can't put serious photos of myself up, you know, dude, I talked about this.
Kind of pictures do you have on your profile? A bunch, but they're all like me in action. Like, what are you doing? Like I'm in the with people having a good time or like, it was meant to be a photo for something.
Yeah, like standing with people. Yeah, like I'm out living my life and something like, let's get a picture. Yeah, as opposed to like, let's go have a designated time where I pose for pictures.
Yeah, there's also coming from the person would remember when I tried to journal in my head. I go, who the fuck do you think you are? Are you pussy? Right.
Also, guys don't take pictures of themselves. No, I mean, beyond the age of 16. I don't think I've taken like other than Snapchat, maybe, but just to send to friends. Yeah, I've been taking a serious picture for just yourself. Yeah, or even professional reasons.
I always whoever I'm working with will take the picture and that's their fucking thing. I don't know. I just whenever I see them, I'm like, yeah.
I don't know if it's a good color or not, but it's just my feeling. Yeah, just pass on them.
I take a place. Let's see what we got here.
People embracing their aim must be on the age of 20. I feel like we talked about that. Yeah, we talked. Yeah, you don't want to just present yourself as a psycho on a dating app.
Yeah, pet peeve subtitle switching spots. I was watching. I want they jump to the top. Yeah, who's who's making this thing? I watch the entire episode of Tokyo Vice and just all over the place.
Bottom top, bottom top of like, who's doing this? I feel like that happens sometime when there's something important in the screen and they'll flip it to the top. Probably.
But it's usually oh, it's like 95% on the bottom. Yes, mostly. But I noticed it was frequent enough to when I went stop. You wrote it down. Yes.
I bet it was so infrequent. I bet it happened like twice. Probably. Probably one of the ballpark. It was enough for me to go fuck this man by yourself screaming out the TV.
Dude, also I know this is the showhouse spaced out. I've been over the past couple of weeks. I've so Tokyo Vice, the show is about. It's a new show, isn't it?
The first season, the new season is happening now. Okay, but the last season happened like a couple years ago, whatever. It's a newer show on HBO. The whole plot is American guy goes to Japan and works for like the top news place, like as a reporter in Japan.
So everyone speaks Japanese for the most part in the show. And I've noticed a couple times after work, I'll go to like Washington episode. And I'll get like halfway through the episode not realizing that there's no subtitles. I've just been like staring at people.
I've been taken on Japanese. Taken on Japanese. Not understanding anything.
Wow. I'm gonna be like, oh shit, wait, what didn't even notice? What were you? Yes.
Was were you just thinking about stuff? I don't know. I just swear to God. You are literally just idled out. Yeah.
Like that might be pure equilibrium. There's like nothing going on. You're consuming nothing. I guess your I guess his visual stimulus. Yeah, I don't know how much of it was also like.
You're seeing you're seeing people talking. How far did you make it? Like halfway through one episode of my God. But I don't know how much also I'm like how much context you get from people.
They're miles moving and things happening in scenes. I have seen you can watch a whole friends episode. Yeah. Without any audio and completely know what's going on. Yeah. So I don't know how, but I just it was such a weird feeling to have like 15 minutes and be like.
Oh, well, there's no subtitles. I'm just list to anyone watching me. Maybe I'm just watching Japanese. You might just know Japanese. Yeah, for sure. Just affluent. Did you then rewind and start it over? No, I just turn subtitles.
I have the mental strength. Yeah. See, I can't watch TV that way. Even if I have to catch every single line. Oh, man. If I miss it, I'll rewind it. Oh, dude.
By myself, I will just zone the fuck out. Yeah. It's so that we've talked about this world. It sounds kind of peaceful actually. Sometimes I think it's just it's a bad sign that I've checked out a lot of the times. Like or that I have so much stimulus that my brain just doesn't interpret stimulus as stimulus. That's how you relax. Just watching a language you don't understand.
Dude, I've. Sounds crazy, but yeah, I've told you that when I work, I almost always have a podcast going on as I'm working. Yeah. And how it's like there's some comfort in me living alone when you're hearing people talking. It's nice as opposed to dead silence. And so I feel like there's someone just in the other room right there.
Exactly. So I don't know. It's funky. I thought it was hilarious though when I noticed that I'm just watching and listening to Japanese. Not knowing Japanese at all. So that's crazy. Good times. Maybe eventually if I do enough, I'll just know Japanese. I mean, that's they say just full immersion in the language is how you learn it. I feel like you need some guidance though. You can't just literally just say right. You just take a guess of what everything means. I'll be right.
I wonder how long it would take if you put if you just put me in Japan or any place where I don't know language. And you get no like actual definitions of words. All you get are people talking Japanese. How long does it take you? Are you interacting with people? Yeah. Yeah. You're living in a city. You have to do day to day things. Yeah. I mean, you pick up the basics real quick, I think. Yeah, I think so. I think you, but like I feel like beyond basics, meaning like just to get to places. Yes.
bathroom, eat, bed, you know, all that stuff. But man, people would be so mad at you. They think everyone you interact with would be so annoyed with you.
They think you're so stupid. Yeah. Like why are you hearing you know nothing? Get the fuck out of our country. Build a wall. Yeah. So the Japanese say. Okay.
Offered a buy. Wait, I have two days away from Kingdom of heaven. Feel like I said that on the podcast already. You're gonna die in two days. It does sound like that doesn't it?
What was that mean? It was someone talking about how like they used to dunk in trustless. He's a comedian. Yes. He's a level. He made that show. Oh my God. Midnight Gospel. Have you ever watched that? No. Oh my God. We got to watch some time. It's so good.
He's talking about how he's addicted nicotine so heavily and like he got on vapes and he had all these. He got diabetes at some point. And then he like gave up on vapes and all that stuff. And after like two days, he knows that in the vapes he had.
There's like sweetener to flavor them and then was spiking his insulin like crazy or his blood sugar sorry. Sweetener and the vape. Yeah. So like dude even you know like.
Non sugar sweeteners. They still spike your blood sugar. Yeah. Your body is just like a different profile. Yeah. Which you're not getting the calories, but you're still getting the spike. So he quit vaping because of the blood sugar thing. And then two days after that, he felt like he hasn't felt before in his life because he quit vaping.
And his whole plum is like. In a good way. In a good way. In a amazing way. He'd been smoking most of his life after two days of course. Yeah. And his whole thing is like most people are that far away from whether it be like. Oh no. Okay.
Drinking or eating shitty or drinking tons of coffee like me or smoking two days away of none of it. And you're like away from a place that's polar opposite of how you feel day to day. Yeah. So I feel like it's just the massive initial hump.
If you just get over that. Yeah. There will still be more hams, but you just. Rumps. Yeah. So many hams. Yeah, but that big one just getting off having a breather from it for just like a day or two.
Seeing how your body feels. It's so hard to break though. I haven't had any coffee day. It's so. Yeah. Yeah. How's that journey going? I bought that espresso. It's really my life.
Dude, dude. It's hysterical. I never gonna give it up. It's the only drug I can't stop. Wow. It just I throw. I've thrown away four coffee makers in the past two years.
Tell you just bought a new one. Just buy a new one. Damn. I convinced myself that I'll do it different this time like a drug addict. What do you tell yourself? I convinced myself. I feel good and coffee doesn't affect me. And I can have coffee. I can live.
So yeah. So now like I'm gonna go about this differently. I'm just I'm just fine with it. Yeah, or I mean this the espresso was like, oh, it's espresso. It's more refined and the espresso is a higher tier machine. Like there's always a sub reason to the okay, but I always get back to a place of feeling.
Yeah, I'm just fine. Just caffeine, plain and simple. Yeah, get to a baseline. And then I'm like, I can start having caffeine again. It's like that wasn't the thing affecting me. Then I have a bunch and then I break and I throw away the coffee machine. Then I buy a new one and do the whole thing again. God. You have to replace it with something. I know I just don't know what to do. Nothing hits that fucking feeling in the morning. That nice warm cup of you know with a little creamer. I've tried tea a bunch of times. Just even T.S. caffeine. But I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
It's not nearly as bad as coffee. Have you tried less caffeinated coffee? No. Half-cafe? I've heard so many people say I should. I just do the same thing you do. But with half-cafe, or you can even make it, I make like three-quarter-cafe sometimes. I might even do that. Just go less and less. Trick your brain. Do the same foam, cream, whatever you do. Yeah. Let's probably move. So every time I do it, I'll go on sub-rids. There's a sub-ride called D-cafe of people talking about their experiences and trying to get all
off and shit. Damn. They're all struggling on there. Oh, there's so many people. They're all... It's funny though, because every once in a while, someone will give the whole sub-ride of reality type. Guys, it's coffee. Because people we talk about, like it's fucking methamphetamine. You know, I'm having withdrawal 90 days later. I'm like you're not... There's a psychosomatic level to this. That you're thinking it's affecting you 90 days after.
Where it's probably not. I'd say it is if you're thinking. Sure. Sure. But I mean, there's probably... I'm saying... Different than like a bad... Your sexual drug. Physical effects of the drug. 90. Which... Don't get me wrong. If you've been drinking coffee since you were 15 and you're 30 years old and you've been drinking... You've been taking caffeine every single day of your life. It's probably going to take a while for your brain to return back to its natural chemistry. Oh, yeah. Because you've been putting a drug in your brain for over a decade.
It's going to be different. But 90 days of physical withdrawal, it's like I think you need to go to a doctor and just make sure it's not something else or it's in your head to some extent. Not to minimize people's disease because it sucks to be sick. So yeah, currently struggling with that. But... Do you think you'll feel better if you got rid of it? Oh my God, dude. I've gone a week without it before. It's like the booze thing. You feel so good. Well, this one's a little weird. I mean...
No, I'm not trying to judge anyone. But the booze thing gets me because of the tremendous social aspect of it. But like the coffee... I don't know. I guess it's like your morning ritual. That's hard to break. I mean, I don't know how it feels for you, but I get like high when I drink coffee. It's like every cup is... It's a dicting because it makes me feel so good. I do feel good. I like it. Yeah, I don't know. Some people don't get that at all.
So I was just wondering if you're one of those people, but it seems like you do get some feeling from it. I think I get a very small version of whatever you get. Okay. Yeah, I think... Yeah. It's like, dude, it's fucked up how much I look forward to it in the morning. Yeah. And if I don't have it... I have noticed that like the night before I'll be thinking about the cup of coffee and that's when I'm like... I'm probably a little hooked on it right now. Yeah. And if I don't have it, my day's not good. And that's just the...
You need to root that thought out of your mind. Well, that's the withdrawal talking. Yeah. You have a... You go a week without it. Those thoughts are no longer in the morning. But it's like, if I like today, woke up, didn't have it only out of necessity because there was fucking people working in there from the maintenance and all that shit. And I was just working and I was talking to them. I just didn't have a cup in a hit and knew them like, if I have a cup now I won't go to bed. And so... And then I'm just sitting there just... How do you feel right now? It was terrible.
It was so bad. Got a headache. Fucking feels sniffly for some reason. I know I'm not sick. I just feel like... You got through today. Yeah. I know. I'm gonna try tomorrow. I don't drink it. You're close. You're two steps away. I know, but I've done the worst thing. I've bought an espresso machine and put it in my apartment. Do you give it to me? I'll take it. No, you won't. It's my bitch. So, yeah, it would be nice to break the habit. I know I'd be overall happier person.
If I did. I can go on about this forever, but the other thing I know is that I'm such a kinder person when I'm not on it. I get really agitated. When you're not on it.
When you're not on it. I'm kinder when I... If I've gone multiple days without it, I approach life with a much brighter light. And if I'm on it, dude, other than the time I'm high on it in the morning,
I fucking hate everything. That's extreme. I'm agitated by it a lot of things. Hence why a lot of my pet peeve are work things. I feel like it's usually probably me coming down from coffee and making a mound out of a mole hill because I'm just like...
Sure. Fuck. And then you know, you compound that with it affects your sleep and you just snowball into this giant. You should write down what you just said. Yeah. And put it somewhere you see it every day.
Put it on your nespresso much. That's a good idea. I just stick you know, it's I could do that. I'm not trying. I think that's a good idea. What did you just say? I approach life with less of a light?
Yeah, I'd say when I'm not on coffee, I approach life with a brighter view of things where everything... I just feel more kind. I noticed it, dude, it's so fucked up.
But as... So I get off work, right, text you about the podcast and where I'm like... It gets close to 6.30 and I have to pack up the podcast shit. And I just get this ounce of like...
Because I haven't had coffee today, it's day one. I'm like, I don't want to fucking put the shit in the bag. Like it's just that fleeing thought of like I'm sitting down, I'm watching a podcast. My mind goes, I don't want to...
And it's so amped up for no reason. But then if I go days, I'll just...
So like, coffee goes the slightest chore or we'll just... Yeah, dude, it just internally. It's never external. I never lose my shit. But internally I'm like, fuck!
And it's not healthy. I thought you were going to say how the fuck has any responded yet.
No, dude. There was definitely a... I was very late today. So what have been raised about... Fuck this guy!
No, because there was even a point too where... Because I texted you around like, I don't know, like five or... Like right after I got off work and it was getting closer to 7. I was like...
I was hitting the point where I was like, oh cool, I'm just going to chill at home, it's fine. And then you message me.
So there was no animosity towards 20 spots. Yeah, it's good.
Yeah.
But I do notice that and I hate it.
So one thing I probably hate most about the cup, coffee thing, I even sleep deprivation. But I noticed how it affects me as a person.
It's like, it's not the real me. I hate it.
Do you... I'm talking about this while, but do you... Is weekend versus weekday any different for you? Like, do you look forward to it more in one verse or the other?
Weekend, I'll just do way more of it.
Really? Yeah. Because in my head during the week it's like, I have a responsibility being my job. So I can't go crazy. So if I miss sleep because I just drank a ton of caffeine during the week, I'll fuck... Not that I'll fuck my job up.
So on the weekend I wake up on Saturday morning like, oh yeah, here we go. I'm just fucking getting crazy with it.
Oh my god. Yeah.
I feel... If I drink it, if I'm well rested, I usually don't drink it.
Really? Yeah. Oh man. That's my favorite time to drink it.
Yeah. Because I actually agree. Yeah.
Drinking it when you're like super tired, you still feel like shit.
Yeah, it just does... It's not as good.
The feeling well rested and compounding the caffeine is like, oh.
I do, I do like that. But I've lately I've been like, I don't need it.
So that's great. Do it. It's way more self-control.
Which in the end, I also, I mean, I don't want to go on about this for too much longer because I keep dying.
But things I notice about my behavior, like I'm so much more... I'll buy shit.
Well, I don't know how many times I've been riding the caffeine high, texted four or five people,
just talking to them because I'm like, want to talk to somebody.
Yeah.
And then make plans in that moment that I don't want to make.
Like, remember that fucking music festival I went to?
The one that I was like, it was the most terrible experience.
I made that while I was like...
Brought on caffeine.
It's a shitty caffeine plan.
Yeah.
It's just like, dumb. Yeah, you're going to the stained hell, yeah.
I'm going then to fuck you and I bought the fucking dick.
I've done that a million times.
You like that family guy episode when Peter just drinks a shit ton of Red Bull?
And you just get...
It's so stoked, Don, it starts doing a bunch of stuff.
Yeah. That's me.
But... So we'll see. Day two tomorrow.
Let's go on to another team.
I'll text you in the morning, dude.
Alright, dude.
I can't ability.
Okay.
Offer to buy Christmas for friend and got shit on for not buying something else.
I think this was a old roommate.
Oh, no, no, it wasn't old roommate.
It was a friend from home.
I said, we're playing video games online and I go...
We always try to find a co-op game so we can play together.
Right?
And I go, hey man, how about I buy...
I actually asked him open-ended what game do you want?
I'll buy it for you.
And he goes, no, fuck you.
Buy an Nintendo Switch so we can play that.
No.
And I was like...
Yeah, that's $300.
I'm offering...
Instead of...
How much is a game?
50, 40 bucks for a fucking game we can play together.
And it was like, I understand that he was coming from a place of...
No, buy this so that we can play all these games on Nintendo Switch.
But I was like...
I just offered you a gift.
You said, no, go fuck yourself.
Go buy a 300 dollar thing.
And I was like, no, you fucking idiot.
That's interesting, because he's denying a gift that's purely for him.
What would be for us to play together still?
Sure.
But he's seen that as like a...
The Nintendo Switch would be better.
Yeah, but it would also be your Switch.
Sure.
It's a weird one.
Because it's like...
There's been a small fence in weird ways.
But I still got like...
Obviously not like...
Coffee-raged on him?
Yes, I was just like, no fuck you piece of shit.
Like, I just...
To offer someone...
To offer anything to buy someone something like, no fuck you'd do this instead.
It's the worst take in my opinion.
Regardless of the outcome.
Maybe he just didn't want to accept the gift.
No.
No.
I've known this...
We're like best of friends.
Yeah.
And I also...
This is like open...
We have had this conversation where I'm like...
You guys how fucking stupid this is when I go...
Hey, I'll buy this 50-difficent.
You go, no, I want you to buy this thing.
And he's like, yeah, that's...
It's not going.
He's got to be just playing it up for the bit at this point.
Yeah, for sure.
Because it's...
He will always tell me to buy Nintendo Switch.
And I will always tell him no.
So...
Yeah, it's just...
I mean, if it was serious, it would have been more fucked up.
If it was something I barely knew.
And I was like, hey, man.
What can I get you for Christmas?
And they're like, fuck you.
I want this more expensive thing.
It'd be crazy.
It would be crazy.
I mean, I would just want to buy them a gift.
Oh, they could have...
It actually probably wouldn't be that crazy.
I just wouldn't...
I would be like, nah, we're not.
And why am I buying this person a gift who's doing this to me?
We're kind of...
We're kind of...
Get out of that relationship.
Yeah, I'm done with that fucking shit.
All right.
Uh...
Dude, dude, dude.
Oh, this is not my bit.
But someone was...
Who was talking about it?
They were talking about how...
If the Olympics were like Jerry Doody.
So like...
We don't have our top athletes.
You just...
Olympics every year.
They just grab a random person.
It's like a true measure of the country you do.
Yes, they do.
Athleticism.
They'd be amazing.
That'd be pretty cool.
I mean, everything would be a blowout, most likely.
Why?
Because Olympics is best of the best going against each other.
If you pick two random people, odds of...
Odds are they're not evenly matched.
I don't know, man, because it's...
I would argue that more people are closer to the average in a country than they are the outliers.
So by statistical means, you're probably going to find people that are closer to...
Athletic ability.
Hmm...
Like...
Take America, for example.
70% overweight.
30% obese.
But those numbers, you're probably going to get someone from that pool.
I mean, there's obviously a chance you can get someone more athletic.
But you're more likely to grab the people that are alike than...
than unlike.
Unlike.
I just feel like the disparity amongst Olympic athletes is much smaller than the disparity amongst the general population.
Because they're trying to get way more...
Sure.
...than margins of better.
Yeah.
You could get like me, like an average guy, versus a severely overweight person in a race.
It's not going to be even close.
But I would argue that you're...
I mean, you're in the 30% percent of non overweight people.
So you're in the minority of anything.
Like, there's a chance I'm able to grab someone like you.
But...
A specimen like me.
Exactly.
The 30% is pretty big though.
Like, there's nothing...
That's a big minority compared to...
like Olympic athletes are all pretty much the same.
Yeah.
You also have to take into context though that like...
there's a certain amount of athletic ability that...
I don't know if it would matter in certain sports.
So like, even if we grabbed you and a fat guy...
who can shot put further.
It might be the fat guy for sure.
So like, the disabilities could work...
Yeah, some sports would be.
Pull-ball would be tough.
Yeah, if you have a 400 pounder.
There are sports that we also just don't have access.
Like, you can't pull-ball unless you've trained at pull-ball.
That's what I'm saying for your whole life.
It might be like...
Your equally as bad as the overweight person.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it would also just be more entertaining, I would think.
If we literally just had average people doing...
It would only be entertaining.
It would be entertaining.
I would like that better.
Because to your point,
they're all so close at the elite level.
It's like, yeah, it's nice when...
Who's saying bold BTI, but like 0.01 seconds.
But maybe way better of like a 400 pound man
through a shot put 4 feet farther than like...
A 5 foot 2 woman.
We also cross.
Oh, you're doing men-an-women together.
Co-ed Olympics.
If you had to compete in an Olympic sport...
Which one do you think you do best at?
Uh...
Man, I don't know.
Probably some throwing one, like a discus or a shot put.
Okay.
What about wrestling?
You're a wrestler?
Oh, yeah, that's an Olympics.
That's right.
I mean, I'd be...
I think it is, right?
Yeah.
It's an Olympic sport for sure.
I don't know.
I mean, if it's an average person...
Maybe.
But might do people what my weight class are scary.
Like, yeah, they'd like a 2020 boy.
Yeah, so yeah, someone wants to ask me...
It's a ridiculous question,
but it's like if you had to win a medal in any Olympic events...
Against Olympians.
Oh, it's not gonna happen.
But like if you had to pick one thing...
Yeah, where you thought you'd have to fight the Indians?
Maybe.
Which one would you pick?
Man, not wrestling.
220 pounds, man.
Yeah, I wouldn't pick wrestling.
Dude, those people are terrifying.
It would have to be something that's like...
I had tried to think...
I don't think I have any chance at all.
I can't think of one where I'm like,
Oh, yeah, there's a tiny chance I could pull it off.
I mean, I said ping pong, but like...
Oh, yeah.
I'd get worked at ping pong.
Right.
I mean, the people playing at the Olympics.
The other answer, I don't think this is a good answer for the question,
but people would say basketball,
like you could stand on a court with other Olympians.
Sure.
That's like a team's point.
Team sports.
But the guy you asked to said diving,
and I was like, dude, no fucking chance.
Oh, my God.
Never dove in his life.
Where you're jumping in.
He's like, I just think that'd be my best shot.
Why?
That's diving so fucking hard.
It's never one of the most difficult ones.
Yeah.
The time in a lot.
You can't make a splash.
Oh, God.
That's like me saying fucking figure skating.
That's insane.
Oh, you would suck at figure skating.
You've never seen me figure skating.
You don't know how far I can fly.
You could be on real.
But yeah, fun idea.
Another dating app thing.
This is just my list of things I find.
Keep it common, dude.
I find fun with dating apps.
There was a girls profile that just,
it was a brag that she drank at a bar 50 days in a row.
And I was like, there's never been something to say.
That's said, that's had me more on a track to someone.
50 days?
50 days in a row.
Which, you know, you could be going and grabbing a drink after work.
Like a beer or something.
Was there any reason for this?
I mean, it was just a prompt.
I don't, it just said that.
You didn't match with the person.
No.
No fucking match with these people, dude.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
But then more research for everyone's entertainment.
Yeah, dude, it's just, I find it,
the second I like register that person is,
I don't want anything to do with them.
It's so hard to like continue down the road.
Just light of them for information.
Yeah.
It's used to do it all the time, but now,
I just can't do it.
Anyway.
Oh, another one actually.
Dude, there's two right, I guess this is probably
maybe more on a track that I found.
Okay.
There's a video of a girl,
on a dating app.
It was one of her like real things or whatever.
Of her like,
being super uncordenated with the basketball,
on a basketball court.
I don't know what the, what the,
she was trying to do there.
Sure.
But it's like watching someone not be good at something
is never, to me, I don't go that's pretty hard.
Yeah, it's like you want your kid to start on varsity.
Yeah, it's not for what I'm thinking about.
Yeah.
But it's just like, I feel like there's such an attractiveness
for me when someone's doing something efficiently.
Like, god damn, they do that good.
So to see someone just doing something really poorly,
I'm like,
Yeah, yeah, were they going for like the fun quirky angle?
I think so.
Basketball is a weird one to do that for.
Yeah, like it was her dribbling the ball,
really poorly.
What, was she going against anyone?
No, just on a bad, just like trying to dribble ball.
Oh, she couldn't even dribble it.
Yeah, like, you know, like,
Oh, that's a bad look.
Yeah.
No, I'm not, I'm not any basketball star,
but I was watching that be like,
Jesus Christ.
You're not putting reels of it on your dating book.
You're damn right, I'm not a fuck that shit.
Trying to attract mates.
All right, what time are we at?
51, we got to do it.
One or two more topics, then fucking call it.
Is it, I feel like we talked about this one.
Is it threesome with half siblings considered incest?
Oh, hardheader.
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, technically.
You're blood related.
Half of them is.
So if you do it still blood related.
Well, if you have the half of them touched that doesn't have the blood of the relation
in it, then you're okay.
How do you figure that out?
Oh, you can figure it out.
They got, they got imaging your ways.
Yeah, but that sounds like a wana do it.
I don't have a half siblings.
It is incestual, but people have to be down there.
There's a whole, there's a chick flick about that.
What?
Paul Rudd is the half brother.
And it's like a big twist at the end.
I thought he's the step brother.
I thought he's half brother.
You're talking about fucking clueless, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anything is a step brother, dude.
I feel like he's related.
I don't think so.
He's not related.
I was shocked at the, I was like, that's her brother.
I don't think they would have that in the movie.
He's a pro-winsist movie.
I don't think so.
I mean, you consider step brother, step sibling stuff.
Step is just totally not blood related.
Yes.
No.
It's weird though.
Strange, especially if you're like raised in the same home.
It's a little strange.
But if you're not blood related, I mean.
I gotta watch that movie now.
It's good.
I was, dude, don't fall.
I'll bet you fall.
I was really drunk when I saw it.
Oh, okay.
You're really making a good case for yourself.
I'll bet you $5.
It's step brother.
Because I remember saying it as a joke like in the beginning of the movie.
I'm like, what if she goes after Paul Rudd and then a habit and I was like, what the fuck?
Holy shit.
I gotta think that could happen because they're related.
I could be my words.
I think it's step though.
Yeah, probably right.
Just raise your foot.
Just think about a big blockbuster movie or like in that era.
No one's doing, I can't think of a movie that has anyone doing it.
No one's trying to incest.
No, dude.
Think of a movie with incest in it.
I have one.
Game of Thrones.
I mean, that's, but that's like a depiction of, think of like a, I don't know, a modern movie.
That's like medieval times people are fucking their people all the time.
I only have one in my head.
That's a pretty bad one, too.
What is it?
You ever heard of this movie called Old Boy?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Famous crew.
I think Korean film got made into American film.
I don't remember, I watched it a long time ago.
Yeah.
I remember it was super fucked up.
So fucked up because at the end, the dad fucks his daughter and that's like, this guy getting re-bent.
He tricked, he doesn't know it's his daughter.
Oh, I've seen a horror movie with incest involved.
Nice.
That was terrible.
The movie was better than the incest was terrible.
Both.
Alright, tight.
The incest was crazy.
They didn't show it, but it was.
That's good.
I'll never forget, dude, when I was, this is a movie called The Last House on the Left.
And it had, it opens with like, that sounds scary.
Yeah, it opens with one of the most brutal rap scenes I've ever seen.
I saw when I was like 17.
I just remember, it's just not what you want.
17s when you can see our rated movies.
I'm just open with that one.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Yes, time to watch it.
But it's a revenge story of like, they rap and kill this girl and then like, I forgot,
if it's their sister, where the chin's up killing all the killers.
But can we just take rap scenes out of movies?
Can we just like have it more implied?
There's someone come, no one's been at the super uncomfortable.
Who's liking these scenes?
The last duel.
Yeah.
That was a crazy one.
Yeah.
I will say it did add to the intensity of the movie.
Sure.
I get that there's an artistic like emphasis that it's like, this is, it's pretty bad.
Yeah.
But that one especially because it's like two different perspectives they tell her from.
Yeah.
So it's like, you needed to see both.
That's fair.
Well, I felt pretty brutal.
I've never seen it.
Doesn't girl with a dragon tattoo have a brutal rap scene?
Yeah.
Cause her, her probation officer essentially like says, I forget what the thing is, but
like, they, there's a word for it.
A person that like, you go to prison, they assign a person who like handles all your money
and shit.
It's like, it's different from probation.
But this old, have you ever seen the movie?
No.
Oh, dude, we got to watch that one.
Such a, and fucking a Daniel Craig is in it.
No, I've done it.
It's dude, it's a phenomenal, phenomenal movie and story.
It's so good.
And, uh, what, I feel like I shouldn't tell you now.
No, I'm not closing it.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
One more topic, then we'll fucking be done with this.
Should we discuss true detective?
Sure.
I think anyone cares about that.
We can.
How bad it was.
Sucked.
That's all I have to say.
In depth review.
Yeah, it was not great.
Let's just do one more topic.
Let me talk about it afterwards.
It's exciting things to say.
How about, do you got any pet peeves?
How about we end on that if you can think of one?
I don't know.
All right.
Oh my god.
I don't remember.
We'll see.
All right.
You know what?
I have one, and I've been waiting to say it because I haven't run into an instance of it
in a while, and I can't think of a lot of good examples.
But I'm going to run it by you see if you know what I'm talking about.
It's when people say, I'm either this extreme or this extreme.
There's no in between.
Oh.
It's like that format of describing things.
Uh-huh.
Like this is either that or that.
There's no in between.
People say that all the time, and it's almost always inaccurate.
There's usually an in between.
Yeah.
I feel like people just say that to just sound interesting.
Yeah, for sure.
It's a call for attention.
Yeah.
Because what they're saying, I mean, I can't think of an instance where anyone said that
where it's ever been true.
See there, I mean, they're angry or I'm horny and there's no.
Like, what?
Those aren't even the same categories.
Yeah.
It's like this is just crazy.
So yeah.
Or like I'm super late or I'm super early.
There's no in between.
It's like, maybe there is.
Yeah.
And it's also weirder that you would be on either end.
Yeah.
I don't even think that's a real example.
For sure.
But do you know what I'm talking about?
Exactly.
I do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's it's it's almost like it's kind of just like a built-in humor, I guess?
Sure.
Yeah.
I mean, if it's used as in a comedic context, it can be fine.
But if someone's saying that seriously, it's like.
Nothing works that way.
Nothing works that way.
It's most things if not all are in between.
And I feel like it's most often used in like a somewhat comedic
context.
Yeah.
But it's only funny if there's truth to it.
Like I feel like it's overused.
Maybe that's all I'm saying.
Yeah.
Did you hear it recently or you've seen yourself?
No, I did that's what I wrote this down a while ago.
And I've been waiting because I know I hear this all the time.
Yeah.
So if I hear it again, I can bring it up again.
I feel like dude, it's I interact with so little people outside of.
Well, let's dovetail into the work alone depression.
No.
The friends I talked to are of your of like mine did like you were like,
just high caliber.
To the extent where like no one in my friend group would say something like that.
Sure.
You know, we're like the I would have to encounter random person in order for that to happen.
Which I encounter very few nowadays.
We're back, baby.
2024.
But yeah.
That should be the end.
But I hated the sound of that.
It's a squeaker.
No coffee digestion just slowing down.
Jesus, dude.
Yeah.
Anything to say before.
No, no.
All right, dude.
Well, thanks for tuning in.
I have a lovely day.
Everybody.
Bye.
