And today we're going to open up with fun.
So when you're on Amazon, do you ever look at the reviews for?
I would have met all the time.
Yeah, if you go over by something.
And how often do you get turned away from the product
because of a word?
Pretty often.
Yeah, if it's bad, though, I'll look for something else.
So let me ask you this.
Even when there's like almost an overwhelmingly positive ratio
of good reviews, has there ever been a reason you just got to find the bad ones?
Sorry, finished question.
That's why I'm asking is like, because I personally,
I have, there's been more good reviews by far.
And I find one that someone just had the worst experience with the product.
And I got to find out by this.
Yeah, that's all it takes.
Yeah, I mean, you can manufacture positive reviews.
You can just spam those out.
That's, I have heard the most honest ones live at the two stars and the four stars.
I believe that because it's still something,
having something rather the product at four and at two, there's still something.
Yeah, even if there's a bunch of four stars, I'm kind of like, what's going on here?
It is weird.
It is weird.
I also have, I don't think I've ever seen anything with a mostly negative review on Amazon.
No, I feel like that would take it down.
Yeah, you can't just keep it up there.
People are just shitting on it.
We should look for one.
What do you think would have the worst review on Amazon?
There's got to be something that has brutal reviews.
Oh, wait, sugar-free gummy bears.
That's a classic.
Really?
Have you heard of that?
No.
Why would I be able to review?
Did it taste terrible?
Anyway, if you heard of this story of what this dude eats sugar-free gummy bears and
whatever the substance or the substitute for sugar is, it makes you shit your brains out.
And it's one of the funniest online reviews you could ever read.
He's like, I'm sitting on the floor praying for forgiveness.
Just wondering what I did to deserve this.
It's hilarious.
But a whole lot.
Is the review, is that just one really bad reviewer is the most...
I think there's a lot of them.
I think there's a lot of them.
That should be a project for the next podcast.
There's got to be top 10 most negatively reviewed products on Amazon.
It's kind of, yeah, I don't even know how do you go about that.
It's fun to think what price.
Someone's done research.
There's someone somewhere that is found.
I just want ones where there's more bad than good.
I guarantee someone's gone on that journey and found ones that are way more bad than good.
But I just wonder what types of products would we prone to get bad reviews?
That's a great question.
Because anything I've looked at, I've never seen it.
I've never seen one that had more bad than good.
So I don't know what you'd be looking at.
Maybe like a food thing?
That's something that makes you shit your brains out.
That's gotta be.
Or like something that requires, like, because you can buy frozen food sometimes.
Which I don't even understand how that works.
Like, is it in a freezer?
That's a wild move.
Through all of the transportation, because I can't imagine it is.
They don't get a freezer in the bag of that Amazon drug.
At least I don't think so.
Can you use order food from Amazon?
I think I've seen you can get some frozen food on Amazon.
Or stuff that like typically you would need cold.
Involved.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
That's a good candidate.
Yeah.
Whatever you bought, thought out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't think of something else on the time I had.
But I'll share the review I saw though while we ponder on this topic.
No, okay.
But I was going to buy seaweed because it's a product that like,
unless you go to like an international store or like an international market store,
it's you can't find a lot of goods.
And hopefully we had some stuff.
I like seaweed.
This is a new thing for me.
It's pretty good.
It's great.
It's really rich in eye.
It's good for you.
Yeah, yeah.
It's got a lot of iodine too, which most people don't get in their diet.
Unless they use iodine salt.
Any seafood or eat dairy or eat eggs.
So I guess it's mostly greedy, mostly plants.
It's a tough to get.
But like,
the yeah, anyway,
when looking for seaweed found a seaweed that I had not bought before.
And I was like,
I'm going to try something else.
And it was like overwhelmingly positive.
But then there was a,
I think a one star review.
And the review was literally,
this smell so fishy.
It's like, it's seaweed.
It's got like, I've never come across a seaweed that's ever smelled not fishy
or tasted a little fishy.
It's from the Oceans.
Yeah, like the fishy taste.
Like you walk by the seafood section in the supermarket that smells fishy.
Yeah, but it's there's someone somewhere that was like,
I can't believe this.
Bought seaweed.
The name sees,
or the word sees the fish.
There is, I mean,
have you heard with fish?
I don't know if you eat a lot of fish.
But that's like a typical criticism.
If it tastes fishy,
ironically, that's like a bad thing.
True.
But it's like,
I guess it would,
if this person maybe gave like a,
this is way fissure than this other product.
It was just, this is fishy.
Yeah, most of them in the first seaweed.
Could have been.
It's like anything from the sea typically has that fissure.
But I hear what you're saying,
because there are fish that like you eat like this way,
way fissure in general.
But yeah.
To review it though.
To feel that strongly about it.
I've never reviewed, have you ever reviewed anything?
No.
Nor have I.
I feel like there,
it's a good thing to do because it's like,
it's public service.
It is do.
You're helping other people out.
It's almost an altruistic thing
unless you're
looking for something in return,
which on Amazon reviews,
you're not going to,
you're rarely going to get like,
a company reaching out to you,
I think,
to be like, oh, we're so sorry about this.
It's a thankless job.
Yeah.
So it's like,
by leading tweeting at companies,
usually gets results.
Yes, a little bit more public facing,
which is kind of crazy to think how,
like you probably just do that,
not have any experience with that company.
And probably they'd probably give you something.
Yeah, I feel like, yeah,
I'm this flight with the worst flight I ever had.
They put me in the back and someone
diary it all over my fucking lap.
And the skiers licked it off my lap.
Or something crazy.
Maybe like,
have freedom.
And it'd probably be fine.
But yeah.
So that's the Amazon thing.
We can go to the next one.
Unless we have any other,
I can't even know the product
that would be overwhelmingly reviewed negative.
Now we'll do some research.
I haven't done research in a while.
I have topics that I was going to look into.
Like what, do you remember?
We talked about powering the world
with the Sahara Desert.
I want to do like a deep dive on that one.
Haven't done anything.
I had a weird conversation recently
that I was like,
what, like,
someone would,
actually someone you know,
or have met, I should say, was they're like,
talking, we're talking about space stuff
and innovation and space sacks and like,
the energy problem and what people are talking about.
Like it's one of those conversations
where I got 10 minutes into it.
And I'm like,
are you just,
like the things you're telling me
just don't make any sense.
Like the person was saying that
for the worries energy on this planet,
which I feel like it's a talking point more than anything.
They're like,
the energy.
Well, the topic was energy
and the topic moved to space and like,
what do we gain from going to the moon?
Because apparently,
apparently China is trying to establish
like some kind of space,
space on the moon.
And in my head, not being a space person,
I was like,
what's on the moon other than
that they're being like ego-involved for the nation.
I'm like, we got to the moon.
and they're like,
all they can do all this mining,
they're like,
for what?
And how are they going to get it back?
Like, it's not just like we,
we mining that we can just like send it back to Earth.
It's like,
the thing where mining has to be
worth the billions of dollars
that we require to send things to and from.
And then he's like,
well,
they're the thing that you'd all see is for energy
and like just line
some part of the moon with solar panels.
And like,
so we're gonna,
we're gonna build infrastructure on the moon
to generate
solar energy there
and then ship it back in batteries.
He's like, yeah, I was like,
paleo.
And then I brought this to a hair desert thing.
I was like,
we had the,
like,
the stories are always wrapped in this like,
the moon is the only way we could pull this off.
It's like,
why would we do it on the moon?
That should be the question.
We can do that here in a bunch of different ways
and we don't have to have space in between us
to get the energy.
It's just like,
I don't know, I don't know.
It was such a weird place in that
it's a hair desert thing to remind me of
or someone's like solar panels on the moon.
I think there's something with like
the atmosphere is less so you can
there's no atmosphere.
There you go.
So you can absorb this or you be
whatever into the solar panels.
But it's like,
that can't be enough to offset like the cost.
It would take to just do in the
sehar desert.
We're far out from doing that cheaply.
Someday maybe,
but like maybe.
I get striving to be like a space
civilization,
which is effectively what space X is trying to do.
Right, but we're far out from that.
But it's like,
when we look at goals and goals setting,
to have a,
as a species,
well, to have a goal for the sake of a goal
is not a good goal.
And when people talk about a lot of this space,
like moon space space,
it's like,
but why?
We can go there to go there,
then to be honest about it.
It's it's hubris.
It's right.
That's why we went in the first place,
which I do think is a good reason.
Yes, I think this space race was good.
We had competing nations.
Yeah, people were gun hole about their country and what not.
But it's like,
now what are we doing?
It's like,
it's short of teleportation.
I don't know how much more we can do.
Like it's like, dude, we,
you gotta think bigger in my friend.
Well,
a lot of physicists today say the biggest
I shouldn't say a lot.
One guy I listen to.
Nice.
Which I agree with them because his whole thing is that physics
has not had an actual innovation in a long, long, long, long time.
Is it a request?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was like,
huh, and they went and looked.
It's like, yeah, there's not really been,
did you see the theoretical physics?
There's been nothing.
Right, there's been nothing.
And like recently they had physicists
who won the Nobel Prize for like AI stuff,
which is like, yeah, it's not physics.
Everyone's giving it shuddy on them.
He's like, yeah, they just went into a different area.
It's like, that's why they could do it.
And then his whole thing is that using chemical means to get places,
we have to, we can't keep thinking that way.
Because with like combustion,
we can only go so far and so fast.
You need nuclear fusion.
But I don't know, but I don't, but like for travel,
it's not an energy question.
It's like, you can only burn things so hot to go so fast.
So with nuclear, it's like,
the propulsion still wouldn't be fast enough.
And like we wouldn't have materials to be able to handle that level of propulsion.
So I just think that there's a ceiling to that game.
In terms of like how fast you can shoot something.
You, you got to read this sci-fi series.
I've been pushing on you three body problem.
Oh, yeah, I watched a couple of episodes and that goes into all this stuff.
Okay, the show I think does an okay job,
but yeah, the book is unbelievable.
It's three books.
Okay, wait, so what will they talk about?
They go into this where they like,
we have to switch from internal combustion to nuclear fusion.
Okay.
If we want to advance further as a space society.
And then it's just like, there's a whole like political debate about that.
Like where we should put our resources.
So would in that book would nuclear fusion or fission or whatever it is be like,
it's a much more efficient way to generate energy.
And if we can harness it and put it in an engine,
that would be much better for space travel.
Gotcha.
And then it goes even further beyond that into like way more advanced out there.
Mathematics.
Got it, got it.
Because energy is one part of the equation I had.
But then it's like propulsion,
like going to certain amount of speed is like,
well, if something can zip us at light your speed,
can we build something that can withstand that?
Can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, and we can expand that?
Yeah.
Like, and I don't think we're even close to that,
like chemical means.
These books are so cool because it is sci-fi,
but a lot of it is like, stuff that is close,
like stuff that might be feasible.
So one thing they talk about is when you're jumping into not light speed,
but like extremely fast space travel,
yeah, you can, they have this stuff called deep sea fluid,
which is effectively breathable liquid.
Wow.
And it, it like fills up your body, gets into your lungs.
And because it's a liquid and not a gas,
the motion doesn't like destroy your body
because the pressure is equal inside of the side.
That's pretty cool.
And it's, it's fucking crazy.
And then I looked up that concept and it's real.
Like there's been research done on it.
Whoa.
And we're not quite at the point where we could like,
pour liquid inside you like that.
Yeah, but like I think they've done very controlled,
minimal trials of like demonstrating you can breathe liquid.
So like if they figured out more on that,
they could open up doors to other things.
That's so interesting because it's like,
yeah, I don't even know because H2O,
it's just like that compound we can't,
like so many things go through my head of like the lungs
need certain quality of matter like you.
So to think that someone developed a liquid version
is like going against like,
it's very hard to imagine.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Like highly oxygenated liquid.
I think one of the biggest challenges is like your lungs
aren't robust enough to like,
yeah, pump liquid.
Yeah, I mean, dude, people like the reason you get pneumonia
is you get a small amount of liquid in there.
Yeah, a small amount.
Yeah, yeah.
So I think that someone's like, we're in a dump.
But if it was like, you bick with us through your body
and there's pressure on both sides,
I think the theory is that could.
And then yeah, I guess then you got to have a way to get it out
at the end of the right now,
because then you got to like just put a vacuum in.
But not saying it can't be done.
It's just super interesting that their science about it.
All right, we got.
It's crazy.
We got Amazon reviews.
Amazon reviews, I think we're good.
I think pediatric urology is worthy of talking about.
Tell me, tell me more.
It's a weird, for me, I guess I get if you're like,
when you're, if you want to be a pediatrician,
you go, I want to help kids.
Biggest.
Why did you get into this line of work?
That's a tough question to answer.
Dude, if you're someone whose profession is looking at child genitals,
which like don't even know, we need children, you're all just,
but it's such like a, why did you choose this?
And maybe it's so like you're so far in the medical field that like,
at that point, it's so not.
I doubt it's a dream from a young age.
For some, there's got to be some out there that are like,
oh man, I can't wait.
I feel like a lot of medical people, they just pick a focus.
Like as they're going through the school and all that.
Yes, it is just such a unique,
I never even thought of like, oh, of course, that's,
that's got to be a field.
Yeah.
So it's like,
I can just like a urologist in general.
So like, why would you?
Yeah, I mean, that one I can,
yeah, no, that is also weird.
The child, that's another layer of like,
you want to look at child genitals?
Not that they want to.
I guess that's a weird way to put it, but it's like,
but that is how it's like, you could have chosen any other thing.
Most jobs, people in the line of thinking is like,
oh, why'd you get into that?
Oh, you want to do that.
So yeah, it is weird.
It is dude, fucking crazy.
Again, we need it though, because there's children out there,
apparently with urinary problems, but it's like,
never crossed my mind.
So do they take like the honorable way?
Like, I'm doing this so no one has to.
I feel like that's what you got to do.
What other way would you spin it?
But that even that sounds weird, saying it that way.
I'll bite the bullet and look at these.
Like the guy we're going to be, if you're going to be a child porn,
I'll do it.
I'll sacrifice myself.
I don't like this stuff.
It's just, I think that's the only way to answer that question.
If you're at a party, someone goes,
well, why'd you get into children's urology?
And you go, well, it's a feel that there's a high demand for work there.
And there's so many kids that don't have a urology specialist.
That I think that's the only way you can spin it.
I can't see a way.
Honestly, I feel like no one would even dare to like,
to take the line of like, why would you do that?
I feel like there's a lot of respect that would come with.
Just a doctor in the urologist.
I think someone, okay, this is talking for me personally,
but I could see myself asking it almost accidentally as like a social courtesy,
where someone says something and just go,
well, how'd you get into that?
Not even thinking of like what I'm at.
Sure.
And I feel like that can happen.
And in that situation, if they spin it any other way other than,
there's a high demand there and I felt that the industry needed it,
it just sounds like you're a pedophile.
If you go, well, I always wanted to work in children's pediatrics,
pedophile.
Oh, I enjoy working with children's jandals, pedophile.
Name one other job, where you can.
Where you have full access to children's jandals.
I don't think there's any other job.
That might be the only one.
I mean, the FBI watching child porn.
But we're talking a doctor's like touching.
Real, yes.
That's a little separated, even though it's still probably,
I mean, that's second in line in terms of.
Dang, not great.
Yeah, that's a fun.
I never thought about that.
I just want to find a fucking children's
urologist and just talk.
Just grill them.
To be assaully brutal.
Fucking what they call it.
Not a puff piece.
What do they call the opposite of a puff piece?
Well, they write an article that's just like, damning.
A deflate piece.
A hit piece.
Hit piece.
There you go.
Deflates a fun one.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, I got nothing else on pediatric urology,
but I think it's worth a,
it's worth it's worth the question.
I think it is.
Why do people do it?
I promise you and the fans.
And if I ever run into one in real life,
I will ask them.
Good.
Why did you get into this?
Find one on a, on a hinge.
Pediatric.
You're.
It's such a.
Matrathon.
I don't think of ever, I don't think I've ever seen anyone.
That'd be tough to put on your hinge profile.
Yeah, I think they just put Dr.
out of the way.
Well, I can hold on is, is that a specification?
Is it just pediatrician?
It can't be.
Because like, yes, it's a kid, but like, there's got to be kids,
neurologists, kids, uh, psychiatrists.
Like, there's not.
Or, or, or is it,
is it, is it just a urologist?
Is it like a pediatrician manages your kids care?
And then would refer you to a urologist if you,
that's a good, quite anything about that.
Needed that might be that.
I don't want to Google pediatric urologist.
You're the research, holding this thing together.
You might be right in that.
There's not a.
But there's like, there's children's versions of specialty doctors
in almost every other field.
Like, at children's.
I don't know.
Yes, I, I would think that there would be.
It would be hilarious if that's the one that's never started.
Because of the reasons we're talking about.
They're like, we can't, we can't do this.
If I was that, I think I would just say one or the other.
I feel like I would say I'm a pediatrician.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then they'd be like, well,
and then just infinite respect.
Like everyone's, like, no one's going to say,
you automatically are good.
It's like, oh, you're in it for the day.
You're for child cock.
So yeah, that's a tough one.
I think I kind of, I'm probably going to look it up later.
And just, I mean, you brought, that's not a crazy Google search.
Is there a difference between children's,
yourologist and yourologist?
Do they have their own doctor?
So the craziest Google search?
Yeah, there's way worse.
They'll probably think you're like a parent.
Probably, yeah.
Like, I'm looking for care for my child.
Yeah, should I just go to my, my yourologist?
I'm like, finally, you have no kids.
I'm like, what are you doing?
I'm just entering this all in the chat GPT.
It's building a case against me.
Okay.
Small penis rule in books to avoid claiming likeness.
So that's why I've died.
No idea what you meant by that.
I'm sure I remember the like,
that what's the small penis rule in books?
I don't know.
I'm trying to write a wrote that down.
There's a rule about small penis as a books.
And likeness beat.
I think it's something like,
I don't know.
That makes me think like,
if there's like an image of someone in a book,
you have to give them a small penis
to claim that it's not them or something.
Yeah, maybe it might be like that.
That sounds like it.
I got a follow up on that one.
Okay.
Totally forgot what, why but the only big break dancer,
I don't know, I feel like we've already done that.
It's just yeah, everyone knows about her.
Private sperm donation.
It's opposed to.
Supposed to.
Let's think about this.
It makes us sound like sneaky.
Like, I'm giving you a secret dose of my sperm.
People do that shit, right?
I mean, people like literally have friends,
like, like a couple will be like,
we're trying to get pregnant.
They'll just go like on the black market
in quotes of just like asking a friend
to come and it cop or something.
And then they just object at themselves.
I think that's what you're talking about.
I think so, which is a hilarious concept to like,
it'd be weird to be a vendor on the black market.
Of private sperm donation.
It'd be very professional terms.
Yeah.
A vendor being just a guy who's going to jack off for you.
Just a host.
And then how, when does that blend to like,
just sex?
Or someone's like, hey, I want you to put a baby in me.
And I imagine it's usually like a lesbian couple
lasting things.
Yeah.
Imagine it's not like a guy in a girl being like,
hey, can my male friend give me his come?
So we are thinking of do.
Well, they, I mean, they, they,
they none a cop and give it to them, right?
Yeah.
And they have to like,
face it to themselves.
Turkey, Baster.
We all have that image in our heads.
It's just a turkey.
Yeah.
I've, I have a man.
I've been, I've based a few people.
No, one of my friends showed me a picture
of a kid once.
She's like, see this kid.
This kid was made by Turkey based in.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
Yeah.
Super random.
Just out of party.
I'm talking to a children's.
Yeah, I think it's that party.
Tons of yourologists there.
Yourologist convention.
But yeah, I, I mean, obviously, I've never come across
Washington's ads.
I've never been asked to donate to friends
in terms of the form of come.
But like, I would be honored to be asked.
It really depends what it is.
I don't know if I would do it, but it's that.
That means like, hey, I want you.
That's true.
It's a very, very nice thing.
Yeah.
It's just, uh, and I guess the opposite is they,
or if they don't do that, they do it with a random person,
which I guess maybe, maybe it does make sense.
But.
Yeah, not in that cup, dude.
I have so many people asking me.
It's just, in my head, if I had any friend ask me,
like, we're trying to have a kid.
Can we use your sperm?
Be such a.
Because your friends, I feel like it's just,
it's such a weird friend.
It'd be weird to have like a best friend,
and then their son is just your son.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
Yeah, it almost have to be that.
Do you, you might get that like, I want to be involved
because it's my son.
I, yeah, I feel like that totally happens.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then now you just cast that upon your life,
where you have this situation of like,
that's my kid.
Yeah.
That sounds terrible.
Wow.
Well, yeah, never doing that then.
That sounds fucking awful.
I'm trying to think like if,
if do you think there's people in your life
that you would do it for?
No.
No?
No, like my friend.
No.
It'd be so weird.
Also, most of the,
because then you also know they're infertile.
Yeah.
There's a lot of,
there's a lot of layers to it.
I'm just like,
I just, I guess maybe it's weird for me
because I can never in my head see any of the women
I'm friends with like,
doing that.
I think I have some great,
good women friends, but it,
there's no way you could be asked
and it wouldn't be a complete shock.
Exactly.
That's so weird.
Right, like I'm not, I'm not friends.
Like if I was friends with like a lesbian
couple who's trying,
it would be a current.
That'd be funny to be like,
I got to be top of the list.
I'm like, I know I'm up there.
Well, like it wouldn't be a curve all that
as opposed to now any one of the women
I'm from when came to you're like,
I need you to,
I really want to have your kid,
but I don't.
The guy Mary just isn't caught in that.
Yeah, I mean, that's even it.
I wonder if that's that situation
probably maybe has happened.
Yes, the premise of Ted too.
Just kidding.
It's totally different.
I just say I haven't seen Ted
for a while.
You could have just said that.
I would've been like,
oh, really?
No, he's a Ted and his girlfriend
are trying to have a baby,
but Ted doesn't have a dick.
So he needs a sperm donor.
Gotcha.
And he does he has Mark Walbert?
Well, they tried to jerk off Tom Brady
for a stint asleep and then they asked Mark Walbert.
God, I haven't seen that movie since I came out.
But okay, sperm donation private,
hilarious.
Also, I kind of want to know the running rate though.
Of like,
if there was a black market rate or yeah,
because there's got to be,
say it's not a friend, it's just someone who's like,
you know, I just want some come out,
pay 10 grand and whatever for coming.
We got that way high.
Not all the time.
I've seen that.
So I have so much.
I've been storing it for years.
Yeah, I'll end up sperm stay alive.
Actually, question.
I think I know this stuff because I've had
refrigerated.
Oh, refrigerated.
No, I'm just down in the open.
It dies pretty.
I think they definitely like keep it for a while
in sperm banks, right?
They freeze it.
Yeah, they freeze it.
Yeah, which that freezing time,
dude,
freezers are crazy.
Cold.
At a certain threshold.
I mean, does it?
What is cold?
Does it not blow your mind that you can put a piece of meat
in the freezer for like six months?
Yeah, like it's like time travel, dude.
It just slows everything down.
Yeah, it's like dude,
there was a point time,
most of history.
Well, like, you're not even getting close to refrigeration.
It's like every, every food just goes bad
like three to seven days.
Everything.
So it's like all has to be local.
There's no logistics around transporting food anywhere
because all just fucking goes bad.
And because of that technology,
we can have grocery stores.
That haunting would be so illiteric in that era.
That'd be such a thrill.
And you've got to bring it back to the village
and everyone's hyped.
Oh, dude, that's gotta be nuts.
It's like winning fucking the Super Bowl.
Yeah, everyone's fucking carrying this.
Probably haven't eaten for a while.
Yeah, yeah,
it's still, I guess agriculture came around though.
And then once that happened,
you know, but again, people were like
growing their own crops to eat.
It wasn't like being,
to my knowledge, really like distributed.
It was mostly like the person running your land,
usually in the source.
And like middle ages, like you have a fiefdom
where you have like a-
The serifants?
Yeah, well, you have like a Lord
ruling over your land
and you're a farmer on their land.
And like you owe them half of your crop every month
because they're the Lord of the land.
And then you get the other half to sell and feed yourself.
Owning land is always just the path to riches.
It's just always been that way.
Well, it's gotta-
Yeah, I mean,
it's gotta take land.
Yeah, I mean, yes, yes, taking land, yes.
I mean, at its core, like,
not to make it political,
the libertarian view,
at the- it's very core all libertarians
because there's things that they disagree on.
The core is property rights.
It's the most important.
Is that whatever you own,
the power of the government has to be used to stop people
from taking that from you.
And that's-
That's at its core.
Which is, yeah, then you get into the other things, like,
should the government have police force?
And I wish, yes, I think.
But there's-
Then everyone else starts to disagree on a bunch of little things.
But it all comes down to like what you own people-
You've got to write to land.
This is the most American thing.
Yeah, it's protected.
Hell yeah.
Which is big.
So yeah, to your- to answer your question, land is the key.
I mean, that example you just gave just makes me think of the modern day version.
It's just buying an apartment complex or like a condo and just renting it out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you can- you know,
you can make the armions way better and then someone-
Because there you don't-
I guess you are paying them rent.
But it's mostly by like choice.
Whereas opposed to in the Lord farmer situation,
it's like some Lord just came by.
And it was like, yo, you owe me this now.
Yeah, yeah.
And you're like, well,
it's either that or he kills me or I die.
So gotta do that.
So how do they get that?
So is it just weapons?
Was weapons the differentiator of how you got-
Weapons and Armies.
So numbers.
So like, you know, royalty would typically have an army and then it would break off into wards
and look, we're protected by the monarchy wherever it may be.
And so it's just like this trickled on effect.
Like, you don't fuck with anyone connected to royalty.
And then also, the farmers don't have great weapons to your point.
And they don't have anywhere near enough people to fight back.
Wapets and numbers.
Yeah.
So what it's all about?
Yeah, then technology changed all that to a degree.
Like, then people started guns.
And then it was like, well, people can kind of fight back.
But then technology increases.
And mostly it's a numbers game for the most part.
Yeah.
Because like, you would never-
Yeah, I don't know.
The American military, the people tried to fight back,
I don't know if it would last very long.
If it was a true war,
the American people would probably just stop down.
Very quick.
Yeah.
Yeah, I imagine.
We've covered that before.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Spots.
Oh, wait.
Mating in animals is a mix of aggression and mating.
I think this is talking about the animals.
Like, when they look at the brain,
it's like what lights up.
And like, the centers for aggression are lit up throughout.
Like, it's not true of humans, too.
Yeah, I think the reason I put it down is that like,
we associate sex with love.
And it's like,
on a physical level, at least what we understand about the brain,
which, you know, there's still a lot to understand,
is that like,
aggression is happening during this thing where like,
it's making love.
Yeah.
It's a weird,
I know you're wrong.
You should probably be having sex with someone you love.
Yeah.
It's like, the act is way more synonymous with aggression
than it is like,
oh, it's loving.
Which, you know, you have loving sex.
Yeah, I heard somewhere that like,
in males specifically, like the part of the brain that lights up
when you like want to have sex with someone,
it's like the aggression part, which is brutal.
Yeah.
It is a weird one.
It's like,
the way it was described, like,
when a guy sees like a woman in like a tight curvy dress,
it's like, I want to consume that.
Like, like, like a meal or something else.
And like, women don't have that.
Yeah.
And it's like, what makes us human is our ability to mitigate that.
Because in the wild, they don't.
Yes.
Just, they just do it.
It's like, the wild is only rape.
It's literally like,
that's all animals are like,
I don't think there's no consent.
It is fucked up.
Yeah.
I don't think there's any,
I don't think there's two animals going.
Yes, we can do this.
It is crazy watching a nature documentary.
It's like, oh, yeah, they're just,
that's rape right there.
They're all fucking.
There's in time, I mean, the whole,
they're,
here's the weird thing for me.
Most animals, I shouldn't say most.
I feel like the top ones that they cover in these documentaries
always have periods of them being in heat.
We're like, an animal, it's like a mating season.
Do humans not have that?
Yeah, why are there seasons for animals?
I don't know.
And like, no one has ever told like,
oh, yeah, it's summer.
It's time where like humans go to fuck.
Have we just been crazy?
I mean, summer kind of is.
It's like, uh,
what events where you are?
Yeah.
Like if you're in California,
you're just fucking all the time.
True. Yeah, I guess that's a Midwest thing.
I feel like there's like,
coughing season, like going in a fall.
Everyone says you gotta get a relationship for fall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyone be single for summer.
We're presumably just fucking brains out.
Well, how about this?
I think
humans have evolved out of.
There was maybe a one point in time.
Like, you could see that.
Yeah, because I think like the animal,
we've evolved out of so many things.
Yeah, I think that animals have those patterns
because they literally can't,
they should.
It's survival.
Yeah, if they try to make another season,
then it's going to be like way more precarious
for their livelihood.
As opposed to us,
it really doesn't matter in terms of when we want to flock.
Unless you're living in like some third world country.
To have stream weather.
Pure dominance.
Yeah, over the food chain.
We can fuck whenever we want.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Hell yeah.
Got one cool.
Yeah, so the aggression thing is still it's just funny that like
as far as we have evolved,
the physicality of most things is still very linked to like
all we're still animals.
Right, right.
And it's again,
what separates us is like us trying to not be animals.
Us being like,
we're better than this.
We should not rape.
We should not like take advantage.
We should we should be good people.
Just like us being like bad animal.
The instinct is there.
So we have two parts.
Gotcha.
Two parts to you.
Yeah, it's which
that could be the argument for human consciousness alone.
Of you understanding that there's a part of you
that you shouldn't indulge in too much.
That you should you should not be a racist.
You should not be out
in printing every woman you see.
Like, you know, there's certain things where like I can't give
into these animals as opposed to every other animal.
Just they just do.
They don't even consider resisting.
Yeah, we're having the ability to resist.
It's yeah, and it's weird because there's like
you'll find examples of animals like engaging with emotions to some degree
in terms of like say a dog wants a treat, right?
And you like you train it to like hold out for the treat.
So you like always instill some level of thinking in it.
But then you can make the argument that oh, you get more treats later.
Or like your affection is the treat to it.
So it knows that like this game, this strength is relationship.
But you could also make that argument for humans too.
I just think that humans that probably have like the top level of consciousness right now.
And it gets diluted the more you go into nature.
There's like bigger animals.
Yeah, I think that's what we check out.
And then like bugs are not as conscious, which is, you know,
they're just kind of like working as one.
But they were yeah, it's just weird.
And it's like there's all these things trying to,
and it's like the ones closer to us like dogs and cats seem to like maybe
mirror some of our stuff in terms of cognitive like,
I don't know like the treatment I think about, but also just.
So they can step out of the instinct for a second and just exist and enjoy life.
Well, maybe it not enjoy it.
Because it's just because if we said, okay, every animal gives it an entire instinct,
dog would never do a situation where it doesn't eat the treat.
It would always go, food is here.
I need to eat this food.
Well, maybe because I feel like the way you train a dog is you would inflict some sort of
punishment on if it if it does the wrong thing.
Like if it eats it too early, you say no or like sure, get a little zap or whatever.
Yeah.
So maybe that's still just instinct.
Like it knows that there's a punishment.
There's pain associated with it.
Yeah.
Interesting.
But then can you argue that that's like not instinct that's condition behavior?
Like instinct, yeah, maybe.
Yeah, right, right.
It is called shit.
You know, like that's like animals are always doing that regardless of animal.
They're doing those things most of their lives.
And then the dogs and the cats can almost like sometimes step out of those to like
engage with.
That's an interesting question.
Condition behavior.
Is that is that just instinct twisted in a different direction?
Or is that like a step outside of instinct?
I think it's like a step outside.
Because like just like us, we have like we have the eat the shit the fuck.
Like we still have those.
But then we have a learning stacked on top of it.
We go through experience.
These things make for better outcome or worse.
The pain on who you are, right?
And a dog has those instincts and is learned maybe this makes my owner happy when I do this.
So it's like almost like stacked on top of the instincts.
I don't know if it blends into them.
Is it almost you could argue the treat one is like the opposite of a I need to eat instinct.
Yeah, it's fascinating.
It's weird, man.
It's definitely something that I've thought about.
I've been like, what the fuck?
Yeah, could I be a follow-up?
Instinct versus just behavior?
What part of behavior is an instinct?
Well, here I got a follow-up for you.
Which actually probably supports what you just said more than what I,
as the counterpoint I said to it, of our instinct can just be having the same thing.
Because if you go, do we get genetics say instincts are just generation after generation of
learning behavior?
It's just what those things have learned over hundreds of thousands and millions of years.
What you do as instincts today is just an amalgamation of all the learned behavior of generations.
So when I think condition learned behavior, I guess I should...
It's like genetically learned behavior.
It is.
What's it?
It's conditioned though.
It is conditioned through evolution and genetics.
Yeah, just gets a lot.
But then there's like additional behavior of like your own consciousness and existence.
How you've trained your own brain.
And that, what you have, if you have children, some of that will make its way into them.
Really?
Some. That's why you'll see parents...
Outside of your own teaching of them, like just innate things.
There's some stuff because they've done these studies with twins
where they are separated from birth.
Mimicking a lot of the same things, regardless of conditioning.
And they didn't grow up with their parents?
With different sets of parents because they were adopted.
So they grew up doing extremely similar things.
Some of the weirdest cases, marrying women that look very similar that have the same name.
I believe that, fully.
That's the thing.
Like, they're...
They're like, well, you're attracted to.
I feel like that's just wired.
Yeah.
And like, those things do come from genetics.
Like, there's something something something wrong.
I would argue that we have a lot that we can manipulate with the hardwiring we have.
So I agree that that's genetics.
But like, is it possible to say that...
Can things you have learned and trained yourself?
So you develop this behavior.
Yeah.
Then you have kids and you never see them.
Well, the things you've learned in your life can zapy transfer genetically to your kids.
That's what I thought would not be possible.
But...
Yeah, I should say I don't know these exercises.
But I would think that there would be some things that would transfer.
It could be.
Because I think it's just a big, sliding scale of...
They're going to have more genetic material of the past like,
100 years of...
Like, your dad, your grandfather,
who have...
And grandmother, what not.
But then like, your actions will matter.
So it's like, it's all in there.
Like, actually...
It's matter.
Yeah, dude.
It's all in the genetics of the next offspring.
It's just like, they'll just have a smaller piece of you than the grand scale piece.
So it's like, your learned behavior could be in there...
Well, it will be in their genetics,
just as a matter of how much of that will come out.
How many of us would agree that like, all the big,
two next hatches in the other generation,
but still in there, so there's still a chance that like,
something you learn in your life has been given to your kid.
Wow.
I'm not a geneticist.
So it could be entirely wrong out of this.
I do know that, you know,
the centuries of genetics and stuff like that doesn't matter.
And that's what we're doing.
Sure.
That's what we're doing.
The learned behavior of past generations does affect our genetics that we have today.
So I just, it would be cool if you could just like,
learn something and then it just being your kid.
His past is on, dude.
Yeah, dude.
Just like guarantee them a successful life by doing some good habit.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Cool stuff.
On to the next one.
I'm going to have 42 to see that.
Like 70.
Very 70.
It's okay.
Great game.
I'm kind of locked in here.
I forgot the TV was even on.
It's talking about all this mating and aggression.
Let's see.
Kettamine first use these, these NA beers.
I'm like, I'm drinking them and I'm like forgetting that I'm not drunk.
I know.
It's awesome.
It kind of makes me feel like I'm just getting drunk.
It truly, dude, I get the same excitement when I go to drugs.
Like weird.
I know it's so nice.
It's weird as hell.
It also hear me out.
So I just started like you.
I don't think I've maybe tried no duels once,
but I have never like drank a fucking beer sober
as like this is the intentional replacement.
And I was drinking some of my apartment
the Saturday nights, the last night.
And I had that one thing where I'm like,
oh, I can taste that there's no alcohol on this.
But at the same time, I have the same social excitement
around me.
Kettamine, I'm like ready to get after it right now.
And it's like, you, you, again, it's a sample of one currently.
But it's like, how much of me boozing has just been
thinking that this thing and obviously alcohol has an effect.
But how much of it, how much of it is actually because of the alcohol not
just me thinking this brings a good time and associating with it.
We know how powerful placebo effect is.
Yeah.
It's just a trigger like, oh yeah, let's we're going to have good time now.
Yeah, we're going to go.
So yeah, I'm like, I'm out in this place right now where I hope
because I'm going to, I'm going to test this stuff out in like actual partacies.
I'm going to start going out, get in any of your, you can see how it goes.
And seeing if it was just like, I was, no, I didn't need the alcohol the entire time.
I just need something.
That'd be an awesome realization.
Yeah, dude, because I'm at that point.
Especially if you use it, I feel like you don't as much.
Maybe do, but like for people who use alcohol as a crutch in social situations,
to have that realization of, yeah, I didn't need it.
Dude, it would be so big for me.
That's, I use it so heavily.
The first hour of, it's like the, it's like the lion realizing he had courage the whole time.
Yes, dude.
It's like influencer level motivation.
Yeah.
God damn.
Because most social situations, obviously if it's someone like,
we're friends now, so there's not like this, the first hour of me being around people,
I'm extremely anxious.
Yeah, like I don't think I ever show it to anyone.
I'm like, I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
I just want it to be over.
I want to go home and if I make it through that hour, it's usually good.
But it's, it's almost always with alcohol.
And it's, I so I've attributed, oh, once I'm an hour and I've had three, four beers.
I don't know how much of it is if that's the truth of the matter.
It might just be, I think I need this.
So the first hour is really tough and I've convinced myself that it's just easy after an hour.
Because I should say this too.
I have hung out with people sober and there is a similar effect of it just, it takes longer.
We're like, it'll be 12 hours.
So I'd be, before I'm like, okay, we're just chilling.
Just relax.
Yeah, I've absolutely felt that you just need to loosen up.
Yeah.
Like the start of a social event.
It depends on who's in the room, but there's a lot of people I like kind of know.
It's like, yeah, I'm just going to be on edge until
the booze is paused.
And it's like, if I could do this within an A's and just unlearn this stuff,
I'm at this point in the end where like, I can't keep.
Whenever I drink, I get hammered and it just, it just, it just, it's like, it ruins me.
Yeah.
And it's like, I don't know how many times I've gone like looking at like alcohol or sober,
curious or alcohol-free life.
People, and they're like, people that don't have a problem.
But it's like, when I drink, it's just like, it just,
and the outcome is always way worse than I thought.
Yeah.
And again, worse is relative because it's like, I've never done anything terrible or
had a night where I was like, oh, now I gotta pick up the pieces and move on.
But it's just like, mostly feeling like shit and not being the person I want to be.
It just makes me sadder, more anxious.
Yeah, it's just bad for your body and your health.
Yeah, it's just bad.
So if I could use NABs and just kind of fill that gap and continue to go socialize,
that'd be great.
Yeah.
It's great for something like this too.
Yeah, I do.
Just chilling.
It's a Sunday.
We got work tomorrow.
I like the idea of saving booze for like,
many less events and more important events.
Yes.
Versus like, casual hangout.
You can drink.
You can drink so much.
You can drink anytime.
Yeah.
So just something like this.
It's like, well, so few NAs.
Yeah.
It's so weird because if we weren't drinking this,
I like it way better when we are drinking.
It feels more like we're having a time.
You're just associated with good time.
Yeah.
So it's like just having something.
Even if it's even better than like,
because if I was to bring over like just literally water silences,
part of my brain we go, this isn't fucking booze.
Even though this isn't booze.
It looks like a beer though.
Yeah, it looks like a beer in a taste beery.
So it's like, my brain has been convinced enough that we're drinking.
And I'm like, this is tight.
I like this.
I do.
Anyway, that was quite the tension on my mind.
Ketamine first used to block traumatic memories.
Oh yeah.
Gotta remember this story.
But apparently,
It's ketamine's used for therapy, isn't it?
Yeah, which that,
this is okay.
I'm so glad you bring that up.
Because I've been trying,
I've done ketamine and it is,
but it's one of the most wilder,
out of all the drugs I've done,
probably one of the most wild.
Really?
Because the disassociative trip,
which is like,
so like acid or mushrooms,
they're not disassociative in,
I don't know why I put this.
You're still all there,
but stuff's pretty weird.
Granted, it's dose dependent.
So if you ate like 10 dose of acid,
you could not know where you are.
But for the most part,
you're like,
you have a trip,
you're like,
you're just in a different stuff.
Stuff looks cool.
Yeah, stuff looks cool.
Your head's in different space.
It's interesting.
Ketamine's like,
you do a line of it,
and you could literally feel like you're in a field somewhere,
and you're sitting on a couch.
And so,
you know, it's been...
That's crazy.
It's dude, it's so weird.
We are.
Huh?
It's like a VR.
Yes.
There was one time in particular,
where like,
me and my buddies were doing it in his,
my buddy and I and his girlfriend at the time,
doing it in his basement,
and maybe I brought this up before,
and we're just railing lines,
okay?
And like, we got to the point where like,
we're like,
one of our buddies sounds a lot of it,
so we have like,
I think like, I don't know.
We're doing grand lines sometime,
which are, it literally just these fat boys.
And like,
just feel like a gram of any drug.
It's just so much.
Dude, and you've heard of what a K-hole is, right?
We're like,
you've done so much you can't move.
It's like, you're like,
aware,
well, kind of aware,
because you're fucking gone,
but you're just like sitting there,
just stuck.
You're in the sunken place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so,
we were,
we had grazing to add me on the TV,
and like,
I remember just doing a fat line.
And then for the next hour and a half,
thinking I was in the hospital,
like truly,
like being like sitting there,
just like thinking surgeons are around me,
talking about patients.
I'm like,
and then after the hour and a half,
man,
you just snap right back into a basement.
I was like,
wow,
fuck,
all this to say,
it's been super popularized for terms,
for treatment of depression and anxiety.
And I'm like,
how in God's name is this?
Because my experience is not.
Like psychedelic mushrooms are used for that as well.
That one I could see way more.
Way, way, way, way,
well, what's the difference,
if you have this say?
Because they're both hallucinogenic, aren't they?
Yeah, but once I forgot the name for the acids
and the mushrooms are not disassociated.
We're like,
if you drink enough robotus,
and no people like would roll,
that's a disassociated drug.
So like,
it's like you separate from yourself in a way where
it's hard.
So here's a good example.
On acid mushrooms,
there's never a point in time
where you physically can't do anything.
So ketamine and like,
as well as active drugs, right?
Well, like it doesn't affect your nervous system that way.
As opposed to ketamine,
you can hit a point where you can't move.
Okay.
And same with robotus.
And you feel like you're like disconnected from your body.
I think that's where the disassociation,
you feel like you're truly physically disconnected from your body.
Okay.
Where mushroom LSD will never do that.
So,
it's been getting popularized.
I know that
when they do these treatments,
it's like you're typically
in a clinic with a therapist and a doctor
who's like guiding you.
So it's like a therapy session.
But not too long ago,
I was, I don't know how I found out about online.
I forgot the name of the company.
You can just get ketamine shipped to you.
Like,
you just go on this website.
It's called Mind Bloom.
That's what it was.
Nice.
You go on the website,
that you have a doctor interview,
or just write down symptoms.
And then,
did you ketamine therapy in the form of,
it's half gram pills?
It's just,
there's like,
anyone can do this?
Well, I shouldn't say anyone,
because I haven't tried to apply,
but I assume it's,
it's,
the bar's got to be pretty low.
Sure.
And it's at home.
You just get a bunch of ketamine.
And I don't know.
Anyway,
went down that,
I found that like,
Jesus Christ,
that's fucking crazy.
And then I learned like,
why was ketamine made?
Because I've heard it's a tranquilizer.
People heard it's a horse tranquilizer,
which I never,
I was like,
what?
Maybe it's certain doses of tranquilizer.
I don't fucking know.
Apparently,
in the beginning of ketamine,
it was used to
suppress traumatic memories from like,
when someone,
someone has experienced something terrible,
they will immediately give someone ketamine.
And the disassociated,
disassociated,
you enough
to where you don't store the memory.
So you don't get the trauma.
Oh, like right after?
Yeah.
So like within hours of experience,
like your parents getting mutilated by cars,
they're like,
they just pop up filled with K.
K.
And then your,
your body just goes,
nope,
not storing that memory.
And then it comes back.
Apparently, it's super great for that.
Wow.
Which I never would have known.
That's so nuts.
I know drugs can do that.
I'd,
I have a,
I'm my cultist,
but I have a friend whose dad is like
in the ketamine therapy.
How do you know?
But I don't,
I don't think he like recently experienced something.
I think he's just somehow trying to like help him.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which again,
I,
I don't know if you are using it.
I don't know.
There's been enough efficacy for the government to approve it.
So that is illegal?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, yeah, that,
like this website I'm talking about is a fully legal website.
How do you apply?
What's the process?
You just literally get,
it's a prescription that a doctor can see.
But what do you say?
Do you have to say something like,
well, it's usually treating depression,
anxiety,
stuff like that.
It's supposed to be again,
combined with therapy to help you work through like trauma
or depression.
And I,
I think that theory is that,
but you can just cut out the therapist part entirely.
Just form the bed.
I think with that site you can,
or it's, it's at home.
So you could just like put them on a thing as you're like,
K-Holing.
Yeah.
Again,
like the idea of a therapist just tuning into like a Zoom call.
But you just let her just just pass down all the pills they gave you.
But yeah, it's an interesting one.
It's one that I, again,
I have a look down and seem like,
oh, people are getting therapy with this.
And I'm like,
again, my experience was doing basements at high doses.
But I'm like,
how is anyone getting any benefit from this?
It's a wildrope.
That's cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's tight.
All right, we'll do one more.
I don't know if we'll fucking cut it.
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.
All right.
Maybe this may,
might be a pet peeve.
But more of a thing that I,
I, I, I hate that it's part of me,
but it's a true thing.
But if somebody is really excited about a bad movie,
they really like a, like terrible movie.
And not in a, like a funny way.
Not like, it's so bad it's going to be funny.
It's like, they think it's really good.
This is awesome.
And yeah, and I'm like,
yeah, man, it's hard for me to like,
not judge.
Not be like, oh, I don't really trust this person's judgment.
Yeah.
Because it's like, if they think that,
what else do they think?
Oh, I'm with you.
Okay.
Okay.
If someone recommended it follows to me,
I'd be like,
I'm like,
I'm like,
fuck, cut it, cut it.
That's fair.
No, I totally, I feel bad.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of an example of once
that's happened to me though.
Like, like, something's been suggested that,
like, if I joked about it,
we had a person, they would be like,
what are you doing?
Like, like that level.
Like,
and not to go on about myself,
but the it follows thing.
It's funny to me that you guys found it funny.
Well, I'm like, I was like,
I think this is a great horror movie.
And the guys are like,
there's so many plot holes.
I was like, all right.
And you guys were right on quite a few of them.
But I'm talking about someone who,
if you said those things to me,
and I was like,
dude, what are you talking about?
And I got, right, right.
I got, I got,
aggravated that you were like,
this is not a great movie.
But try to think of a bad movie that's,
it could even recommend to me that I'd be like,
God, it's fucking, that's dope.
I feel kind of bad saying this,
but like if you really love Marvel movies,
oh, kind of like,
so many people love Marvel movies though.
And a lot of people I like like them.
but like, are those people,
I don't judge them.
I just be like, I don't love your movie taste.
For sure.
I think those people are tricked, though, to some degree.
I think,
they like,
I don't think they think they're great movies.
They just like,
it is kind of fun to get hyped around them.
Yeah, well,
the people who are a diehard Marvel people,
I feel like they're either,
they're like some of,
they like the big theatricalness of it.
No,
or there's someone who has some like comic loving,
like they like those characters from their childhood.
Sure.
And it's not necessarily them going,
this is a great movie.
It's like just a bunch of emotion,
nothing going.
This is, this is fun.
Yeah.
Which, because I,
don't get wrong,
there's probably definitely people who are like,
this is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my entire life.
But those people again,
I think fall in that bucket of,
oh god,
really?
And I feel gross even saying that.
But it's like, if you're like,
yeah,
it's the most famous franchise ever.
Most people.
True.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, it's a tough one.
I, again, I'm trying to,
what's the other?
I mean, I have certain friends who I'm like,
if they recommend a movie to me,
I'm like,
love you.
But like, I,
I don't trust your judgment.
Buddy.
Do I ever have those,
those friends,
but a lot more music friends where they go,
okay,
you should go listen to this man.
And I'm probably a snob to some degree,
because I love,
it's good to be a snob on something.
Some things, man,
where I just know if a person's recommending a song,
I'm going to be like,
there's more than not,
it's going to be something I would never listen to.
I'm like,
man,
just,
which it's,
well,
always go for it.
Old roommate.
He's,
we have a lot more similar music taste than not,
but there is a,
there's some stuff,
like I told you I went to that music festival,
festival with him a while ago,
I thought it was the worst thing in the entire world.
Yeah,
we're like,
he's like,
oh, dude, you're going to like this.
And then I'm amazed that he thought I was going to like it.
Yeah.
Where I'm like,
and then also on top of him,
like,
why would anyone ever listen to this?
Do you,
do you get that often,
because I feel like I get that often with comedy,
where people will,
people will recommend,
though,
they'll be like,
this is right down your alley,
and it's not even close.
Uh,
no,
not, not commonly.
No, I think my,
my, the people who are recommending stuff that aren't,
that aren't like,
the claims, as I should say,
are pretty intuned.
I don't like,
Axe and Mae,
frontroom homie stuff in that,
that they send pretty solid stuff.
Okay.
But they also fall into the trap sometimes,
like sending,
this happened recently where,
like,
with Axe and Mae,
every Friday,
we'll share two songs with each other,
just so we keep like,
we're finding new music,
and it's nice to go back and forth.
And he'll just like,
share fucking 20 songs.
I'm like,
dude, the rule is two songs.
I'm not going to listen to four albums, man.
You're just putting,
giving someone homework.
That exact,
I've been trying to make this point like,
dude, the whole album is good.
I'm like, dude,
pick your top two.
And literally,
oh, was it three weeks ago,
we have, we have a mutual friend who is going to Germany.
And he's like,
I'm about to board a plane,
send me a list of like,
your top two enemies.
Dom sends like,
literally 20 enemies.
And,
and then my friend responds,
it's like, they can't all be that good.
that's what my friend said.
And it's like,
they're all the top ones I watch.
They're all number one.
And here's the, here's,
here's a good lesson on relative experience,
because block,
hideous set is,
I just said,
I did all that extra maple shit outside it.
I know his,
the, the sound profile of his name so well,
I can just cut it out without even.
Oh,
he's waiting up.
That's him.
That's a **** way right there.
But he watches so much anime,
so when,
when someone says top anime,
top 10 is low or top 20s low.
So in his head,
that is, that is top.
But he probably fought,
I'm like, what do I leave out of this list?
Literally dude, dude,
we were like,
half of the ones he suggested I had never seen.
I was like,
it was just hilarious for us to be like,
dude, when we say top,
it means like a couple or one,
not a laundry list of enemies to like see if I like.
So did he then narrow it down to two?
I don't know.
I sent my buddy,
I think two or three and then he sent that.
No, he didn't know.
But not narrowed.
He just said these are the top
enemies that I've watched.
And we're like,
take a couple.
So anyway,
time to end.
Yeah, yeah.
Anything else before we sign off?
Any pet peeves?
Yeah, I'm just going to ask you that.
You know, I've been pretty,
uh, pretty zen lately.
I don't think I've been pissed off too much,
which is just good.
Yeah, that's a good thing, man.
I feel like I should be more pissed off.
Why?
You can't get too complacent.
Well, yeah, but being pissed off doesn't get
placed in and being angry.
Right.
I got to start more angry.
I just, I feel like if I'm not experiencing
peeves, I'm not living life to the fullest.
I don't know if I agree.
Coming from coming from the opposite place where I feel like
because of I've been finding everything wrong with everything
that worked more specifically.
Sure.
And I can definitely tie it more to,
oh, I'm stressed out so I'm just doing that.
It's like, I've had a problem with every interaction I've had
with almost everybody at work for the past three weeks.
And like, oh, at a certain, it's a horrible sign.
Yes.
At a certain point, I'm like, oh, this is just me, dude.
Like these people just, good for realizing that.
Yeah, I mean, it's, uh, and I'm obviously,
when I'm having these moments of like,
God, the bean still fucking like, I'm not ever
taking it outside.
It's always in here.
Yeah, right, right, right, right.
It would be crazy if I was like suddenly like,
oh, everyone's an asshole.
Yeah.
Just start doing it.
But, uh, so I've been in that.
I've had 80,000 peeps, I think over the past three weeks.
But, yeah, I mean, I can give you one.
I mean, sign on that.
I'm gonna do it.
All right.
Uh, uh, this is just a standard one.
This is not anything crazy.
But, uh, you're, you're weeks away from a deadline.
All right.
Okay.
Now, call it a month away from a deadline.
And this deadline involves yourself
and one other person that you both have to be part of it, right?
There's something he has to do.
There's something you have to do.
And you commute and in the beginning of the month,
you go to this person, you go in a month
or this deadline, we're gonna have to do this.
I'm gonna go, yep, sounds good.
We'll be ready.
It'll be fine.
And you check in, I don't know,
every half week, every three days,
going, okay, here's the progress of it made.
We're still good for this day.
They go, yeah, they say that every time they confirm,
we're still good to go.
We're still good to go.
Oh, they're just placating you.
Well, and the thing I'm asking,
it's truly a really small lift from the other person.
You're doing like 98% of the work.
They kind of just have to click a button
or like, it's a dashboard thing they have to up,
like, on the front end,
they just have to make the dashboard reflect the databases.
That's all they got.
Cool.
We get to the week of the thing.
And this is the, the, the go live for all the,
the snowflake stuff.
So this is a big deal.
And I, we get to,
and during the week, I've been going,
we're still good for these two clients
on this day to go live.
I'm gonna go, yes, yes.
The day before at 6.40 pm,
I get a message from this guy saying,
we're still doing it for this client.
Oh, yeah.
And I,
that's just sheer stupidity.
Dude, and it's even more fucked
because the message he sent that,
where he sent that message is in a chat with me,
him and this other woman who's in analytics.
And maybe 10 messages up,
he can see where I,
like all the confirmation.
That's your biggest peeve.
Dude.
His previous messages.
Yeah, it's a big one.
I mean, to ask a question,
but like the evidence is staring him in the face.
Like in the messaging group chat,
and he's gone,
wait, we're still doing that?
And it's, I almost exploded on,
I think that was, that was third or Wednesday night,
where I was like, yes, we're still doing this.
What can I do to help you make this work?
I feel like when you say that,
I feel like he knew he was fucking up
and putting something off.
And at some point,
he had to, he's like, fuck,
I have to break this tension.
And he does it with, oh, we're still doing this.
Yeah, obviously.
I mean, it's, it's just like,
wouldn't own up to any, like,
there was no apology.
Yeah, there was no anything.
Throwing it on you, like, oh, really?
Like, oh, it's just,
it's just this.
I'm the fucking asshole, dude.
And so that's more than a peeve.
That's just like, oh, it was like,
that's just bad blatant negligence.
Beans bad.
Yeah, I mean, I told my boss,
but it was just like,
we had had these problems with this department before,
but it's just like, people just,
I don't know, man, just that shit,
where I'm like, how do you have a job if this is happening?
Like, who, I can't be the only one you're doing this to.
There's no chance.
What are the odds you observed the one bad thing
that they did?
And the department is,
this guy has, they're infamous for like,
you'll send a message about a thing
you're both involved in.
No response.
You'll follow up, no response.
And then the second they need something from you,
look, oh, hey, once this got this ready.
Yeah, it's like, dude, what?
Oh, man, anyway, wind on that note.
Shitty communication.
Shitty communications, a big pet peeve.
All right, folks, we'll see you next week.
Love you.
Bye.
