HHBSO 128: My Body's Not Fancy Enough to Tell the Difference · He's Hot but Something's Off...

• 0:02
  Hello, welcome to He's hot, but something's off and it's going
• 0:08
  to be the final He's hot, but something's off of 2025.
• 0:18
  I thought about doing something like, you know what's driving me
• 0:23
  a little crazy lately? All these year end things that's
• 0:26
  popping up on every app. So Spotify has wrapped, but and
• 0:34
  they had that for many years and now every other app has to do
• 0:37
  with Grinder has one, YouTube has one and like people are
• 0:41
  making videos like I don't. So I was going to say I was
• 0:45
  going to do some sort of like year and not in like the style
• 0:48
  of like Spotify or like how the apps and everything I was doing
• 0:51
  it, but just like the review of the year.
• 0:57
  But then I thought with all these apps and everything and
• 1:00
  like all these people making Tik Toks doing the same thing and
• 1:02
  it's like kind of gross. Like, you know, I don't want to
• 1:04
  do that anymore. So we're just going to have like
• 1:06
  a regular episode to end the podcast.
• 1:09
  I think I've always in some ways gone against the grain a little
• 1:14
  bit in terms of trends. I don't really like trends.
• 1:18
  I don't really like keeping up with what the new hotness is.
• 1:23
  I never have a lot of, I mean I don't watch that many movies or
• 1:29
  TV shows, but even stuff like TV shows and movies and stuff, a
• 1:34
  lot of it. If I ever do get into ATV show
• 1:38
  or a movie, it'll be like 2 years after it comes out.
• 1:42
  Yeah, I've never really been to trends.
• 1:43
  Anyways. I do have some stuff I wanted to
• 1:46
  talk about today though. It's weird for me to have.
• 1:49
  Well, I do keep A to do list, not A to do list, but IA topics
• 1:53
  list. Sorry.
• 1:54
  I do keep a list of topics that, you know, as I go through my
• 1:57
  daily life, sometimes I'll make notes of this will be good to
• 2:01
  talk about on the podcast. So and I kind of wanted to burn
• 2:06
  through at least like a few more of them before the end of the
• 2:09
  year because maybe next year I'll sort like a new list.
• 2:12
  But oh, it's gone now. I was going to say, if you're
• 2:14
  watching the video version of the podcast, you can see on my
• 2:17
  left arm that I have some red marks, but I think they're
• 2:19
  mostly gone. So I just got my vaccines by
• 2:25
  jabs for the flu and for COVID. So I got them literally like 3
• 2:33
  or 4 days ago and I had to go a little out of my way to like a
• 2:40
  particular location. So made the appointment.
• 2:44
  It was like the morning time drove down there.
• 2:47
  There like wasn't anyone there. So I kind of sort of just walked
• 2:49
  right in. So it's like in the basement and
• 2:52
  it's like empty room. And there's just like this one
• 2:56
  person at this one station doing it, which is fine.
• 2:58
  So I sat down and the nurse, I think she's a nurse.
• 3:02
  The nurse goes through, you know, like all the basic
• 3:05
  information about like the COVID vaccine and blah, blah, blah.
• 3:07
  And then she says, oh, we only have the Pfizer vaccine at this
• 3:13
  location and not the Moderna 1. Is that OK?
• 3:16
  And I don't really care. You don't remember when early on
• 3:21
  in the pandemic, there's also talk about like depending on
• 3:24
  which vaccine you are, you're a winner or like a loser.
• 3:28
  Anyways, these days it doesn't really matter.
• 3:30
  And I don't really care anymore. So she's, oh, just have to
• 3:33
  Pfizer and not to modernize that.
• 3:34
  OK. I said either was fine.
• 3:37
  Don't really have a choice. And she's like, yeah, well, I
• 3:40
  just thought I'd check because some people I'd prefer one over
• 3:45
  the other, blah blah, blah, blah.
• 3:47
  And then I said my body's not fancy enough to tell the
• 3:50
  difference. And then she left.
• 3:52
  And then she's like, Oh yeah, yeah, no, no worries.
• 3:55
  I just thought I'd check because some people are just like really
• 3:57
  picky about it. And I said it's OK.
• 4:01
  I buy generic all the time. And then she left.
• 4:05
  I like to think sometimes I'm lightly funny, at least type of
• 4:10
  semi everyday situations. But in some ways everyone thinks
• 4:14
  they're funny, right? I can be lightly amusing in
• 4:19
  small talk, like in a situation like that that's kind of sort of
• 4:24
  like everyday. I could theoretically have that
• 4:27
  type of conversation at like the grocery check out, except that I
• 4:31
  don't like talking to the ghostry people when I was
• 4:34
  checking out ANYWAYS. Yeah, so that's my kind of
• 4:37
  comedy. I can never do stamp.
• 4:39
  I can't, if you needed to have me sit down and write a joke, I
• 4:43
  can't do it. It's not in my real house.
• 4:46
  I can't write a lot, even if it's not supposed to be funny.
• 4:49
  So for the skin care company, I've been, you know, obviously
• 4:54
  doing the marketing. Well, I have the marketing
• 4:55
  agency, but like even then, I needed to give them some
• 5:00
  direction and examples of, OK, this is how I want the voice of
• 5:05
  the brand to come across when we post on social media and things
• 5:08
  like that. And I recently had to come up
• 5:12
  with some examples of like a different direction.
• 5:15
  I run them to go in and they're like, oh, but yeah, just give us
• 5:18
  like some examples of like the, the material you're looking for.
• 5:23
  So part of it is having tech lines.
• 5:25
  So I need to like come up with some tech lines with them.
• 5:27
  I literally spent an hour like most of that day sitting there
• 5:31
  and I was like, and I came up with like 3, like he told me
• 5:34
  like 4 or five hours come with like 3 decent tech lines.
• 5:38
  That's even with the help of AI. OK, so I can't write 1 liners.
• 5:45
  I can't write stand up and have it be like half decent.
• 5:49
  But when it's like a spur of the moment thing, that's where you
• 5:52
  can get some little jokes out of me.
• 5:55
  So I don't know if she thought I was funny or like she had to
• 5:58
  laugh because like, oh, you're supposed to make the patient
• 6:00
  feel comfortable. So just like nervous laugh the
• 6:03
  crappy jokes away or whatever. But I, I was a little proud of
• 6:06
  that. I was, I was a little proud of
• 6:08
  that. On the flip side, this was like
• 6:12
  a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure I told it when
• 6:14
  it happened because I think I was already doing the podcast
• 6:17
  then. But it's like a little while ago
• 6:18
  and I was coming through. What is it?
• 6:21
  CBP like US clearance, like passport control, US Border
• 6:25
  Patrol. And then I put down all my stuff
• 6:27
  coming flying back from Canada back into the US.
• 6:30
  And then this guy says, oh, do you have a license?
• 6:34
  I'm like what? Because like you have a
• 6:36
  passport, maybe you have a visa, maybe you have like an ETA,
• 6:39
  maybe you have like some thought, but you don't have you
• 6:41
  don't have a license, quote UN quote to like fucking cross the
• 6:44
  border, right. And he's like, yeah, do you have
• 6:46
  a license? Like, no, what license?
• 6:47
  Like, and he said for those guns, he was making like jokes
• 6:50
  about my arms. I guess I was wearing like a
• 6:52
  sleeveless tee or like AT shirt or something like that.
• 6:53
  I was like, but I'm thinking if you're customs of border
• 6:56
  control, can you please not make those types of jokes because
• 6:59
  it's like you're going to freak some people out anyway.
• 7:02
  So it works. It works both ways.
• 7:03
  Nervous laughter. I mean, I'm not gonna I can't
• 7:06
  get mad at CBP, right? I'll I'll get banned for a life
• 7:08
  from the country or something. Yeah, so that was that was on
• 7:13
  that was on my list to tell you. We're just gonna like I'm just
• 7:15
  gonna knock through some of the some of the topics list item for
• 7:21
  you guys today to to wrap up the year.
• 7:22
  There's not going to be some like sentimental looking back at
• 7:25
  the year. Hoo ha, we're not doing that.
• 7:27
  But I've decided I'm pretty sick of that seeing all the all the
• 7:30
  apps doing it and like all the people, all the so-called
• 7:33
  influencers trying to do it. I'm already sick of it and it's
• 7:35
  not even the end of the year yet.
• 7:36
  So there you go. The other thing I wanted to say
• 7:39
  before we get too far is I am doing a live stream for my
• 7:44
  Patreon subscribers. So I do a monthly live stream
• 7:46
  every month for my top tier OPA Patreon subscribers.
• 7:50
  But this month for two reasons, because it's like the end of the
• 7:55
  year and also for the launch of my skin care brand, I am also
• 8:01
  inviting my middle tier Magnate tier subscribers into the live
• 8:07
  stream as well. It's going to be this Sunday,
• 8:10
  December 21st at 4:00 PM Pacific.
• 8:14
  So if you're already a member, you're already a Magnet or OPA
• 8:18
  tier subscriber. I've been posting about it, so
• 8:21
  you should all be aware of this. Now you guys are going to get
• 8:25
  the join link pretty soon. I'm going to go set that up like
• 8:29
  tomorrow or like on Friday. Yeah.
• 8:31
  If you're thinking about maybe trying out my Patreon even it's
• 8:34
  just like a month. I think it's a great time to do
• 8:36
  it. You subscribe to like the mid
• 8:38
  tier, the matinee, which is the mid tier.
• 8:41
  And then you will have access if you're available this Sunday
• 8:44
  afternoon to join in on the live stream.
• 8:46
  And you'll also get access to every episode of uncut that's
• 8:52
  ever been released, which is the extra podcast episode that's
• 8:55
  released every weekend just for my pinch subscribers.
• 8:58
  You'll get all of the vlogs. I just hoisted up a travel vlog
• 9:01
  because I just went to Vancouver to visit family.
• 9:03
  So there's a vlog there and obviously you get the full back
• 9:05
  catalog of all the other vlogs as well.
• 9:08
  The other thing that you will get access to on that tier, or
• 9:12
  like the top tier Oprah level, is I'm about to do something
• 9:17
  called the Elemental Diet. I'm probably going to start
• 9:21
  tonight or tomorrow, so let's see.
• 9:24
  I need to do it for 14 days, and I've decided this would be the
• 9:29
  best time to kind of, sort of do it.
• 9:33
  Not like you have a ton of choice, but yeah, this is going
• 9:35
  to be like a pretty decent time of the year to do it.
• 9:37
  Basically for two weeks, I'm going to be drinking these
• 9:42
  special liquid shakes. It's like a powder.
• 9:47
  You mix it with water and it has all the nutrients that your body
• 9:51
  technically needs, but I'm not allowed to have anything else
• 9:55
  except for water and these shakes that I have to like mix
• 9:59
  up. And the premise is that it's
• 10:04
  going to give your gut a reset. I'm not doing it for shits and
• 10:09
  giggles. I'm not doing it.
• 10:10
  But it's some like LA, whatever, hippie dippie, loose fat fast,
• 10:16
  whatever type of thing. I have it because I have a
• 10:19
  medical condition. I think a few times I've talked
• 10:21
  about having Siebel and IBS. So this is the reason why I'm
• 10:27
  going to be doing the elemental diet is to help manage my Siebel
• 10:33
  and IBS symptoms and hopefully kind of be have my gut be in
• 10:38
  better shape. So I'm not like doing it just be
• 10:40
  like, oh, it's like some trendy thing to do because like what,
• 10:43
  some random celebrity DeGeneres or Kardashians, whatever, I'm
• 10:47
  doing it. That's not the reason.
• 10:49
  OK, Again, I'm going to follow trends.
• 10:51
  OK. Yeah.
• 10:52
  But basically the I'm going to, it's about to arrive.
• 10:57
  Like it's just, it's kind of like just powder.
• 11:00
  You mix it with water and you drink it.
• 11:02
  Apparently those don't usually taste very good.
• 11:07
  And I'm going to be very curious about whether I'm going to feel
• 11:10
  hungry or not. I'm reading through all the
• 11:14
  preparation and the instructions and they say you can't drink the
• 11:18
  shakes very quickly because it's basically all pre digested
• 11:25
  nutrients. So it's like amino acids and
• 11:28
  like simple sugars and things like that.
• 11:30
  The point is that your body doesn't need to spend any effort
• 11:33
  digesting anything. Everything within the shake is
• 11:37
  like pre digested so your body absorbs it right away.
• 11:39
  You can't chug it apparently, because you basically get like a
• 11:42
  sugar high and you get like blood sugar level fluctuations.
• 11:46
  So it's like sip it over like 30 to 45 minutes and it's got all
• 11:50
  the calories that you need. But you know, it's not going to
• 11:53
  be a ton of calories. So I'm going to be not lifting
• 11:58
  weights at the same time as well.
• 12:00
  I mean, in theory I could drink more of the shakes to get more
• 12:04
  calories, but like, you know, lifting weights requires some
• 12:08
  amount of protein and the protein in those shakes, it's
• 12:12
  like a fixed ratio. It's like a fixed amount and
• 12:17
  it's not a high protein thing. So I decided, you know what, OK,
• 12:21
  we'll just take the holiday time when I'm not doing anything
• 12:26
  anyways. Take the holiday time.
• 12:28
  I'm going to do it for two weeks.
• 12:30
  There's a chance that, you know, for a part of it I could get
• 12:34
  some flu like symptoms. So that officially starts, well,
• 12:39
  this goes up on Thursday. I'm recording as Wednesday, this
• 12:44
  goes up on Thursday. So Thursday will be like the
• 12:46
  first full day of me doing that diet.
• 12:49
  It's also part of the reason why this is going to be the last
• 12:52
  podcast of the year because just in case I do have that common
• 12:59
  reaction of there could be a few days during this diet where I
• 13:02
  feel crappy before I feel better without knowing exactly when
• 13:07
  that might kick in. If it does, I don't want to have
• 13:10
  to like drag myself in front of a camera and a microphone.
• 13:13
  And also just the holidays. It's nice to take a break.
• 13:16
  One one of the reasons, not the main reason, but one of the
• 13:19
  reasons that I'm doing my own businesses is that I can do
• 13:23
  things to my schedule like I'm the boss and I can do whatever I
• 13:28
  want. So, and if I want to take the
• 13:32
  holidays off, I can do that. You know, I don't that's one.
• 13:35
  That's like the one thing I don't miss.
• 13:36
  Obviously it's nice to have like a steady paycheck and blah,
• 13:40
  blah, blah health benefits, which I'm going to pay through
• 13:42
  the ass for next year. But you know, the flip side,
• 13:46
  it's nice to not have the corporate politics.
• 13:51
  It's nice not to have fucking HR can fucking eat in my ass.
• 13:56
  It's nice to not have to ask permission to take a break, to
• 14:03
  ask permission to like live my own life.
• 14:07
  So I mean, I was in the corporate world for a long time.
• 14:10
  So like, I get it. I know how to do it.
• 14:12
  There are a lot of perks to, you know, to working in corporate.
• 14:16
  I mean, unless you work for like a crap ass company and and then
• 14:19
  like you're really only there for the paycheck and you might
• 14:21
  not be loving life. But yeah, I'm going to just give
• 14:24
  us a permission to take the holidays off.
• 14:28
  So that's going to be part of it as well.
• 14:30
  But if you are on my Patreon the last time, I'm going to play my
• 14:33
  Patreon, I promise I am going to be sharing updates as I do this
• 14:38
  Elemental Diet. And on this weekend's Uncut, I'm
• 14:42
  going to talk a little bit more because I did have a, a couple
• 14:45
  of subscribers ask, they're just curious about it.
• 14:48
  So I'm going to talk a little bit more about that in detail on
• 14:50
  Patreon, just generally. So if you're interested in my
• 14:53
  Patreon, you're thinking about it.
• 14:55
  Yeah. And remember, like if you want a
• 14:59
  discount or like a trial to my Patreon, you can just DMI
• 15:03
  Instagram. But it's like a few of you like
• 15:05
  at least like 5 or 6 of you have done that.
• 15:07
  And I've given you guys like some discount links or like
• 15:09
  trial links. So yeah, that offer is still on.
• 15:12
  You will listen to this far through the podcast.
• 15:13
  I will give you some sort of offer for the Patreon.
• 15:16
  So go ahead and do that. Yeah, but like I said, I'm not
• 15:21
  doing anything over the New Year's every year.
• 15:25
  You know what? Every New Year's since 2020, No,
• 15:33
  2016. So like for the last what, 8 New
• 15:38
  Year's nine, I've done White Party Bangkok.
• 15:42
  So 2016 years. So 2015 going into 2016 was the
• 15:48
  first year they had White Party Bangkok.
• 15:51
  And that was my first time being in Bangkok myself.
• 15:55
  And I just started doing like circa parties, like only about
• 16:01
  like less than a year. It was only earlier on in 2015
• 16:04
  and I started like going to events and parties at.
• 16:07
  So it's like all brand new to me.
• 16:10
  But last year and for the first six or seven years I went, I
• 16:15
  went with my close Aussie friends like David, you, you
• 16:20
  might have, I know you guys know about David.
• 16:22
  So I kind of like that group. And obviously during COVID they
• 16:25
  didn't have it like in for like 2021 because it wasn't open.
• 16:30
  But like every year that they did have White Party Bangkok,
• 16:32
  I've been to it the last, the last one or maybe 2 years.
• 16:39
  Last year I went by myself, but like I almost didn't go.
• 16:41
  I was in Bangkok just to do collapse and a free ticket fell
• 16:46
  onto my lap. So I went one, I went like one
• 16:49
  or two nights, but I, it wasn't like the original plan to like
• 16:53
  go and I went by myself. I didn't have my auntie friends
• 16:55
  with me. And this year I'm not going to
• 16:58
  go to Bangkok at all. Always thought about, you know
• 17:00
  what they celebrate New Year's like everywhere in the world.
• 17:04
  It's in a way it's like, I love White Party background.
• 17:06
  It's like a great event, but also like I've gone to it for so
• 17:11
  many years in a row. It's like, shouldn't I try to do
• 17:13
  some New Year's thing somewhere else?
• 17:15
  Oh, yeah. I so, yeah.
• 17:16
  So 2021, New Year's. So 2020 going into 2021, I was
• 17:22
  in PV so that you didn't have Wide Party Bangkok.
• 17:25
  But me and my friends, me and some of my friends, we were in
• 17:27
  the port of Volata for that, for that one New Year's anyways.
• 17:30
  Yeah. So I'm not doing anything.
• 17:32
  I'm just really, you know, and I'm not, I don't have any FOMO
• 17:36
  at all for not doing anything. The thing I'm so excited for is
• 17:41
  the February cruise, even though it's not gonna be for like,
• 17:44
  well, it's only six weeks away. It's not that far.
• 17:48
  I'm so excited to be on a cruise again.
• 17:50
  I talked a little bit in a recent podcast episode.
• 17:55
  So you guys already know about that.
• 17:56
  So I'm excited about that. And then in April, I'm going on
• 17:59
  that April at Mexico cruise. And then I was just looking at
• 18:03
  my calendar for next year. I think I want to go to Circuit
• 18:06
  festival in Asia, which is in Pattaya in Thailand, which is
• 18:11
  not super far away from Bangkok. You would fly into Bangkok
• 18:13
  airport if you need to fly into the area.
• 18:15
  And then you would take like a bus or a car.
• 18:17
  You just go by Rd. over to Pattaya.
• 18:21
  I'm probably going to do that. So that's like February, April
• 18:25
  and June all sorted out. And I was like, yeah, I, I think
• 18:30
  I'm going to take a break. You know, it's quite important
• 18:34
  to kind of take care of my body. Not that I'm, you know, my, my
• 18:39
  gut issues were, are super severe or anything like that,
• 18:43
  but it has been definitely a impairment to just my daily life
• 18:50
  for, oh, coming up to two years now, because I know exactly like
• 18:55
  how it developed and everything is taking a little bit of time
• 18:57
  to figure out. But yeah, but it's been coming
• 19:01
  up to like 2 years of having the seabor and the IBS.
• 19:05
  And I'm going to go into more detail about like the whole
• 19:08
  journey. But I know like at least a
• 19:10
  couple of the Patreon subscribers are interested about
• 19:12
  it. But yeah, well, let's do one
• 19:16
  traditional thing that sometimes people do during this time of
• 19:19
  year, which is New Year's resolutions.
• 19:23
  I actually don't usually do New Year's resolutions actually
• 19:28
  because I feel like like there have been many New Year's, not a
• 19:33
  lot. Well, when I when I was younger,
• 19:34
  it's like there was New Year's. New Year's just the other day is
• 19:36
  not really like anything super whatever for me.
• 19:39
  The only thing that is a little annoying is like once I know
• 19:41
  that it's a new year, I know that I have to do my taxes soon.
• 19:44
  So that's kind of annoying, but let's just go with it.
• 19:48
  Let's just go with it. If I had to come up with a New
• 19:53
  Year's resolution, I think it would be to care a little less
• 20:03
  about what other people think. And I think it's not like you
• 20:09
  flip a switch and then you're fine there.
• 20:12
  I think it's people generally grow up, you know, as a, as kids
• 20:19
  and then being a teenager and then.
• 20:22
  In your early adulthood, I feel like that's where it peaks,
• 20:25
  where we care so much about how others perceive us.
• 20:31
  We dress up and put our makeup or whatever to look a certain
• 20:36
  way for other people. We buy certain things for
• 20:41
  appearances and, you know, we do certain things to project a
• 20:46
  certain image. And as you kind of pass your
• 20:52
  20s, at least for me, that's kind of sort of like where it
• 20:56
  peaked was like in my 20s. But this is dangerous.
• 20:58
  But in your 20s, a lot of people are starting their careers,
• 21:01
  They're starting to be independent, which means you're
• 21:04
  not, you don't have your parents around you, You're not in school
• 21:07
  anymore. You have this like extra
• 21:09
  freedom. And you know, usually that's
• 21:11
  when people start to have income, you know, they don't
• 21:14
  have, they might not have a lot of money, but like they're
• 21:16
  starting to have their first full time jobs.
• 21:19
  Or like, you know, they're still pretty early on in career.
• 21:21
  They're not making that much. But taking that and intersecting
• 21:25
  it with the peak of feeling this obligation or desire to have to
• 21:31
  project to the world that you're super badass and no one can fuck
• 21:34
  with you, that's sometimes a dangerous mix.
• 21:37
  But now that I'm not in my 20s anymore, you know, I'm slowly,
• 21:41
  as the days pass, it's like, why am I doing this?
• 21:45
  You know, I like to put makeup on occasionally or like do my
• 21:51
  hair a little extra nice because I like it.
• 21:56
  There's nothing wrong with doing makeup and doing hair.
• 21:59
  You do you like and you can do whatever you want.
• 22:01
  But for me personally, I'm closer to that point where if I
• 22:06
  want to put on some makeup and I want to put on some nicer
• 22:09
  clothes and I want to do my hair and I want to look pretty first
• 22:13
  and foremost, I'm doing it for me.
• 22:15
  You know, is it nice to look nice in front of other people?
• 22:19
  Yes. But you know, if that's like the
• 22:23
  only reason for me to look nice, I don't do that anymore.
• 22:29
  You know, I talk about how there's all these hot guys in my
• 22:32
  gym, and that's like the one place I go to regularly where
• 22:36
  there are other hot eligible bachelors I can actually like
• 22:41
  hook up with. But it's like the place where I
• 22:45
  don't really dress up. I rarely do my hair.
• 22:49
  I rarely put my contacts on. So like half the time
• 22:52
  everything's kind of a little blurry at the gym because I, I
• 22:55
  don't need like I don't need to wear.
• 22:57
  I don't need to, you know, have 2020 vision at the gym.
• 23:01
  I don't see the need to look nice at the gym.
• 23:06
  I don't see the need to. I'm not there to impress other
• 23:10
  people. I mean, the only thing that's
• 23:11
  impressive to me at the gym from other people is when they are
• 23:15
  considerate of the gym equipment that you realize everybody's
• 23:23
  sharing the dream equipment. So you put your weights away
• 23:25
  properly and you wipe your shit down and you are aware that you
• 23:29
  are using the equipment as much as everyone else's.
• 23:33
  That you all have like an equal right and you need to be sharing
• 23:36
  it. That impresses me more than I
• 23:39
  don't care how heavy of a push up or a squat that you can do
• 23:45
  the amount of weight that you are putting on your body.
• 23:48
  I could not care less. It's just like silly shady
• 23:52
  story. Actually, I was on a machine
• 23:55
  yesterday. I forgot what it's called, but
• 23:56
  it's like it's to work your glutes, work your ass.
• 23:59
  And you you kind of sort of like sit down and it's kind of
• 24:02
  recline in a recline position and you put the seat belt on and
• 24:07
  then you put a weight plate on the side and you basically just
• 24:10
  like thrust your hips up and straighten your body and using
• 24:14
  your glutes. There must be some name for it.
• 24:16
  I just don't know the names of anything at the at the gym.
• 24:18
  It's like, oh, it's that machine and I just do it.
• 24:20
  So there's two of these machines.
• 24:22
  I was working on my form, so I was like still going pretty
• 24:24
  light. And this guy next to me, he puts
• 24:27
  on like, I don't know, over £200.
• 24:30
  This guy's doing it. And this is a little shady and
• 24:33
  like little judgy, but anyways, other corner of my eye, but the
• 24:36
  machine's like right next to each other.
• 24:37
  I don't know why they put the machines close to each other.
• 24:39
  And like, I can tell the way he's doing it, it's like, I
• 24:42
  don't think you're using the right muscles for that form.
• 24:45
  And engagement matters a lot. Like if you're doing an exercise
• 24:49
  and you don't know what muscles that exercise is supposed to be
• 24:53
  working and therefore you're not engaging them properly.
• 24:58
  And also you're not aware of like the form that is the proper
• 25:04
  form for that particular exercise.
• 25:06
  You're going to hurt yourself. Maybe you won't hurt yourself
• 25:09
  now, but like, eventually something bad is going to
• 25:12
  happen. I've been lifting weights long
• 25:13
  enough to know that. OK, so like this guy, I'm
• 25:16
  looking, it's like, it doesn't look like you're using the right
• 25:18
  muscles for this. And I know he's lifting like
• 25:21
  pretty heavy weights for that machine, but like, looking at
• 25:23
  his ass is still flat as a pancake girl.
• 25:27
  So yeah, like lifting heavy weights does not impress me at
• 25:31
  all. Using things properly, like
• 25:33
  putting your weights away, wiping your shit down, not
• 25:37
  leaving your shit everywhere. You know that thing that drives
• 25:38
  me crazy is when people use gym equipment as a table to put
• 25:44
  things on as if no one else needs to use that thing like a
• 25:47
  bench. It's not for you to put your
• 25:49
  phone and your keys and your water bottle on.
• 25:52
  It's for people to work out on. So move your fucking shit.
• 25:55
  That's the best way for me to like dislike someone at the gym.
• 25:58
  100% why it figures that I will end on a rant about gym.
• 26:04
  Oh my God I posted about something on Patreon but like
• 26:08
  gym crush number 2 is back. I hadn't seen gym crush number 2
• 26:12
  for weeks. The last time I saw him it was
• 26:16
  like 3 weeks ago and somehow we parked at the same time at the
• 26:22
  same part of the parking lot and then somehow we rode the
• 26:24
  elevator up together. But that was like 3 weeks ago.
• 26:27
  And ever since I haven't seen him.
• 26:29
  I've been like pouting sometimes because like he's kind of like
• 26:33
  he's my gym boyfriend. He doesn't know that we're in
• 26:35
  love but like I know it. I think I need to upgrade him
• 26:38
  from crush the boyfriend. It's getting serious, guys.
• 26:41
  But Monday, this past Monday, I saw him again and then Tuesday,
• 26:47
  which is the last time I went to the gym, he was there again.
• 26:49
  He was kind of sort of working out near me, but I had a haircut
• 26:53
  appointment I needed to go to. So I needed to leave the gym
• 26:55
  early. But surprisingly, both of those
• 26:57
  days I just happened to be wearing contacts because Monday
• 27:01
  morning was when I went to get the vaccine.
• 27:03
  So the times when I will put my contacts on, if I'm going out
• 27:07
  properly, except for like the gym, I will put my contacts on
• 27:10
  and I needed to drive like, you know, I need to drive half an
• 27:13
  hour to the place for the vaccine and back.
• 27:16
  That's like, OK, I want to be able to wear sunglasses when I'm
• 27:19
  driving when it's sunny outside. So I need to have contacts in so
• 27:22
  I can wear my sunglasses. And then, you know, like
• 27:25
  afterwards I went to the gym. So I was able to like properly
• 27:28
  check him out like with 2020 Vision.
• 27:31
  He has like slightly curly hair, which for some reason I find
• 27:34
  super adorable. And then yesterday I had my
• 27:38
  contacts in. I don't remember why on Tuesday
• 27:40
  I had my contacts in, but I did anyways, I don't remember.
• 27:43
  I think I just wanted to yeah. So maybe it's maybe it's a trend
• 27:46
  like maybe if I were my contacts, then he shows up to
• 27:49
  the gym and then he works so near me.
• 27:51
  But that's like 3 for three now. But it's that one day that three
• 27:55
  weeks ago, we were both in the elevator together.
• 27:58
  I had done my hair that day for like other reasons.
• 28:02
  And I had to have, I had my contacts in, but I, I didn't
• 28:05
  wear my contacts just to go to the gym.
• 28:06
  I have, I was doing other things that day as well.
• 28:09
  So yeah, maybe that's the trick. But now I'm going to be sad
• 28:12
  because I'm not going to the gym for the rest of the year while
• 28:15
  I'm on this liquids diet because I don't want my blood sugar
• 28:19
  levels to fluctuate. Because on that diet, you just,
• 28:22
  you can't do any sort of strenuous exercise.
• 28:24
  You're going to have like some light walks and do like
• 28:26
  stretching and yoga and like that's about it.
• 28:29
  Because you got to be careful of your blood sugar levels while
• 28:33
  you're on that diet. As long as you don't like, exert
• 28:35
  yourself, you should be OK. So I'm not going to be going to
• 28:38
  the gym. So I won't even if he's going to
• 28:40
  the gym everyday for the rest of the year, I won't see him
• 28:42
  because I'm not going to be there.
• 28:43
  Yeah. But yeah, I'm excited.
• 28:44
  I'm excited to. It's a good day at the gym
• 28:48
  yesterday. It's definitely rare.
• 28:50
  Like I see someone that I feel like, oh, you're like really
• 28:53
  cute. Yeah, there are.
• 28:55
  There's always like some more physically hot or attractive guy
• 28:59
  around the corner. Always for everyone, not just
• 29:02
  for me, literally for anyone, but to see someone that has like
• 29:07
  a particular look that you kind of you just kind of feel like,
• 29:11
  oh, that guy looks like extra cute.
• 29:13
  Like that guy is like extra attractive to you.
• 29:15
  We all kind of sort of have certain types of people where
• 29:17
  like there's just like a little extra, you know what I mean?
• 29:21
  He's like in that category. So anyways, I will save him for
• 29:26
  2026 and we're going to sign off here for the last podcast of
• 29:33
  2025. I hope all of you have happy and
• 29:36
  save a holidays, whether you're kind of spending it in like me
• 29:41
  and staying local or you might have some awesome, brilliant
• 29:46
  travel plans to ring in the new year.
• 29:49
  Normal service will be resumed on this podcast in 2026, but
• 29:55
  again, on my Patreon. I'm going to keep posting as I
• 29:58
  go through this. Hopefully not to grueling diet
• 30:00
  for the next two weeks. But then, yeah, eventually it's
• 30:04
  going to be 2026. We will be back very soon.
• 30:07
  Until then, bye y'all.
