  Speaker 1: not French, but me. The voice you're hearing, it's Beard
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Los treating me as always Brandon. Jay McDermott is a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: little under the weather because you know, being a new
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: dad and having multiple kids in the house, they tend
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to get you sick, those damn kids. And you've been
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: fucking off.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Dudes, What up, dude?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like I always say, it's been a week.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's been a week.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: It was a long week for me. I know this
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: is playing on Thursday, but last weekend. You know, you
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: usually you work towards the weekend. The weekend is two
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: days of hit. I'm not wearing pants, I'm gonna eat
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: terrible food, and I'm gonna feel awful when I wake
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: up tomorrow. Well, I had to do something last Saturday,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: so I had to like be an EMC of this gala.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: It was an amazing event.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. But when I have
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: to work the whole day leading up to it. I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: in work mindset. I don't care if it's that from
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: six to eight at night, I have work. That whole
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: morning is for me. And so I only had Sunday off,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and then Sunday I'm having to do housework and clean
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: up and help with the kids and stuff. There was
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: no day off for me. So it's been like one
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: continuous twelve day week, is what it's felt like this
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: You did wear pants to the galla?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Right? Ah, yes I did. Okay, that's the shame.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: A little less on the fundraising probably with that, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you paycheck to do that. But yeah, no, that's I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: feel you there, man. I mean, like I said, it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: not really work for us, but being in a gym
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with basketball and softball, like I said, I've come to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: realize having kids, there are no days off, kind of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: like I think probably an underarmoor at at some point.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: No days off.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like that should be a parenting mindset, no
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: days off because we don't get them.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: That's gonna say. Like I used to look forward to
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: the weekends. That was before my kids got so active
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and absolutely everything at their school and then the athletic
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: council reach out to me too, and they're like, hey,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: your son's joining T ball this year, my youngest, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I'm like yeah yeah, and they're like, we don't have
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: a coach, and I was like, I was like, well,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be there anyways were practice might as well,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I guess, just be the coach. So got signed up
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: for that. So there goes a lot of the weekends.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Now it's spring into summer, going to be the school's
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: bitch once again.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, there it goes. Well, if you need any drills,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: hit me up. T ball is let's be honest. T
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ball's rough. It's very rough, especially at that age. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I are you getting hit with co ed or just boys?
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I don't even know yet. I think it was supposed
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: to be boys, but I imagine if they don't have
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: a lot of the girls, they'll intermingle.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they did co ed T ball and a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: lot of places up here, and it is it is
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: tough to get their focus. So all I recommend is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: multiple drills, hopefully you get a little bit of help
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and just keep them entertained because next you know, little
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: billies looking down picking a grass hop, picking a edgy,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: then picking his nose, so you might as well be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: picking up a baseball, right.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I just I hope, I don't. I get I'm very competitive.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: So if I see like a kid not running, like,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: come on, I don't want to like scream to where
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I'm just very animated. I don't want it to come off.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: It's like, dude, is this guy screaming at a four
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: year old? A little bit of yes, but a lot
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: of no. I'm not trying to degrade the child any means,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: But do I want them to hustle to first apps? Absolutely.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's always fun when you get a couple of the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: kids that strike out hitting a ball off a tea.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I remember those days.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you guys, ever done the drunk drunken tea ball? Oh?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the dizzy bat.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Oh the dizzy bat.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, chug a beer, do a little spin and then
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: try to swing a bat and then.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Run down the line, make a complete ass of yourself.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Or we actually had the bats where we would carve
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: out them and have them full with beer, so you'd
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have to spin around so many times, then chug the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: beer out of the bat, then hit the ball and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: then have to be able to run a first or something.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Like that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: See ours was a little different. We called ours Louisville Chugger,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: but it's very similar. But with us, we would take
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: a can and you would however long it would take
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: you to chug that beer is how many rotations you
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: would have to do with the bat on the ground
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and so, but you would chug the beer, toss it
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: to your friend who would be the pitcher, and then
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: as they would count the rotations you would get up.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: They would pitch it to you and hope to God
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: that you would You know, they would give you a
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: decent one, but then if you missed it, you would
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: do it again until you hit it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was Louisville Chugger.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I like that, thankfully. I think I'm officially old enough
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: where I don't do the drinking games anymore. So, but
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I might have to pass that one along to the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: younger generations, because.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: That's a So I got a question for you boys.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Just got me thinking when you were a kid, did
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you guys ever play kill the Man? It was a
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: game where one person held a football and everybody tried
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: to tackle them. It was also called okay, So there
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: was several different names for the game. I'm sure, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: we're basically was.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: More offensive these days.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Killed the man m right, So definitely s m Q. Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: that's the one that we're not saying. And the kill
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: the man was short for kill the man with the ball.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You know. It was basically, hey, everybody go tackle and dude,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: it was rough. It was rough.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: That was one of the funnest games to play though.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I love that one. And then we called it, what
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: was it, three flies up I think or something where
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: you just have one person who would just throw it
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: up in the air and you have like a cluster
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: of kids and whoever got it, whoever caught it three
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: times could be the person that got to throw it
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: or whatever. So that would get brutal elbows and everything.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Did you guys play five hundred? I was gonna say
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: that's a thousand or whatever you would whatever you wanna
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: call it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, But it always sucked because it was like
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: get you get buddied up, and then they'd start feeling like, oh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: this guy's down. Okay, there's no way there's gotta five
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: thousand or five hundred. So it was like your one
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: chance to get it, and all my friends were like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: five ten and like the fifth and sixth grade, so
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they beat the absolute out of me as a kid,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and then they're all still pretty much five to ten now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So then as I got older, I was able to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: catch up. But once you get a little bit older,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you don't really play SMQ and five hundred and stuff anymore.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So it kind of sucks. Weren't my genetics?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: How does it feel growing up kind of where you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: living as an adult basically in the town where you
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: grew up, So like all your friends who you went
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: to school with, for the most part, the people who've
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: stuck around you went to school with, is what I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: getting at, because for me, it's opposite. Like I've hopped around,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know none of these people, and I've got
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to know a lot of them, and I'm glad. You know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I loved the community I've lived in, lived the communities
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I've lived in, but it's a lot different when you're
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: a transplant.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See, I came up in like sixth grade, so
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody of like the ridge in elementary school.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But now I mean guys that I've graduated with, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: mean they still see and talk with a couple of them.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Small town like I probably got a good five six buddies.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And what I think is really cool is now we're
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at the age, not specifically me, but them and like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: my brother's kids, Like they're all starting to play sports together.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They all go to school. So it's kind of cool seeing,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty years later these kids all starting to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: play sports with each other and hang out with each other.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And then kind of brings back imagine what we were
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: doing at this age, you know, like we were ripping
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: around on four wheelers and just raising hell. And now
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they're just like, you want to play Fortnite, and it's like,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: what are we doing?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: That's exactly the same way I moved here in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: sixth grade and have been since, and same thing, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: playing sports and everything and just catching up with people.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: That's about the only time I usually see them otherwise,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: you know, shopping or out and about, but we have
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: the same conversations. We're like, man, remember just like being
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: outside to like nine pm and never having to worry
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: of like getting kidnapped or anything like that. Like the
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: streetlights would just come on and you know, just didn't
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: seem like it was as prevalent as it is now,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: but just and I had the dynamic of I live
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: out in the middle of nowhere, kind of like where
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: you do Matt now. But previously I was I was
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: in Las Vegas. So it was just a culture shock
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: in general. It was I went from a whole bunch
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: of people to like not having a neighbor, no diversity
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and everything. I was like, what this is weird?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: The same thing. So I grew up pretty much in Syracuse,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: New York, which if you don't know New York, most
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: people know Syracuse. And it was not the biggest city.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a Houston, it's not a Vegas.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Like you said, diversity, different schools. There's always something to do.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You're not really getting in trouble, like you want to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: walk down to the golf course. I remember going through
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the woods and grabbing a bunch of golf balls, cleaning
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: them up and sell them in front of the movie
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: store to raise some money to be able to run
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a video game or buy the family some dominoes or
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: something like that. You know, there was always something to do.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Then you move up here and it just smells like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: cow and they're all like, what do we do for fun?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: There's one bowl and alley. Cool, what do you guys
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: do when you're twelve thirty fourteen?
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: We work?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: What?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we work on the farm, or we work at
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the greenhouse. So I started working at the greenhouse, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, Nah, this whole working things a kid. Nah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: not really for me, but yeah, same thing just bored them.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And I like the fact that I grew up being
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: able to be bored. Kids can't be bored now, you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: they'll go their cell phones dead in this I'm bored
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And for some reason that is a trigger to me
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: because it's like, really, okay, well, here's a list of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: things to do, see if you're still bored.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I was thinking a little bit not exactly about this
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: last night, and sure maybe one of my my friendly
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: gummies started kicking in, so it was one too. Yes,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: those Flintsmidians yea ten million strong and growing. So I
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: had to remember the thay. I wanted to sing the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: song in my head to remember the line, but I
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: was I was having the thought to myself of how
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: much slower it felt as a kid that time took
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: and how much it just goes faster as an adult,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Like for me, a whole summer, a month, a week.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It was an eternity.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I remember, like this summer when I was nine years old,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the summer of ninety five, it felt like it was
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: two years long, you know, And nowadays, shit, we just
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: blew through two much March second, twenty twenty five, we're
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: you know, one sixth through the year. And so I
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: know some of that is as we're older, we're not
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in the mindset of being bored all the time. We're
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: focused on stress and work and taking care of the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: kids and making sure we're fed and making sure this
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: is done and that's done, and the kids are here,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and we got this thing to do, and all of
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: a sudden, that's like you're thirty nine years old, You're
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: staring down forty You're like, happened to the last twenty years?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Do you think just life in general is faster now?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You know, because because I mean now it's like all right,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: like getting ready in the morning next so you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you grab your phone and then it's like, oh man,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: there goes twenty minutes.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I think part of it is as we age, it's
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: just the natural necessity of like I explained, you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: like being in the work mode and everything else. We
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: don't have the imagination we did as a child. Right,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: some of the glow is gone, the youth is gone,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the you know, we are adults now, we realize how
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: life is, We know what the important at least, we
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: know what we want to spend our time doing that
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: make us feel happy. So that's part of it, I think.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: The other part, I think I think there is a
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: contribution of for even for kids to not be in
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: front of their screen every day and not be in
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: front of you know, watching TV or watching YouTube videos
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: or god can I'll be doom scrolling. My wife is
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: doom scrolling and I look up and I go, honey,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: we got to put our phones down because this is awful.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: We can't do this the kids, you know, So we
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: all contribute to that, And I think some of it
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: has to do with the kids also doing that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: But yeah, are you kidding me?
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Kids have more toys than I've ever had in my
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: life out there in that room, in that one room
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: right there, not including any other room in this house
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: which has more toys. And I'm they're four and two,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: so it's getting there. But I've never said go outside
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and go play, don't come back till it's dark.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm fortunate that I've got a few older
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: ones and they are but also addicted to electronics unfortunately,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: and we have to establish some boundaries. And I know
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Matt had mentioned it too of you know, during dinner
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: and just been like, hey, absolutely not, like, let's communicate.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: This is where we talk, this is where we catch up,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: you know, this is this is family times. So we've
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: been implementing that a little bit and it seems to
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: be working because and even my toddler, he's just like
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Susie wakes up, He's like, hey, do you know my
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: iPad is? And I'm like, good god, man, go is
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: there some Saturday Morning cartoons or something that we can watch? Like?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: And I know it's a different generation, so their their
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: cartoons are right there on their devices.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: It's I don't know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It's it just seem you find your kids act like
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: assholes when they're on it too long too.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But I also feel like I was an asshole
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: whenever I was playing Xbox at thirteen and somebody came
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: in to try to interrupt me.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean. But I mean, how
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: many times did your age quit over something? Video games?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Let's be most of them are designed. Like the other
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: day we busted out the uh, the Nintendo Nintendo emulator,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: so we were playing the oldest. Was like, I want
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to play in Techmobile, Like you don't want to? They're like, no,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: come on, So there middle the middle one sorry and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of course destroyed. I was like, you picked my team?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Doesn't she pick Dallas because she's like, I know you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: don't like them. I'm like, thanks, kid dominate the game, right,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, that was fun. Let's play Mario three.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, cool, you know, like they do
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: some impressive stuff on Fortnite and this and that, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: watching a kid try to play Mario makes me feel
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: so much better. Like they can't even get through a
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: level half the time without die. Hey, how'd you know
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of that secret? How'd you know this? And I'm like
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it was just learned. We didn't have the Internet, we
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: didn't have you know, cheets. We just randomly are doing
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: something Like I think one time when I found out
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in Mario three when you can hold down in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: white thing, I think I set the controller down and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it was on something and all of a sudden it
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: went through and I went what.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Kind of weird, like how the word of mouth, like
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: just between your buddies of playing these different games and stuff,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: are like, hey, did you know this? Did you know this?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: And you're like, oh, I can't wait to tell somebody
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: else this. This is fantastic, you know. And that's how
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: we learned everything. And but my kids are the same way.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: They like the old school games and watching them struggle
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: on those old school Mario games, or we played Mike
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Tyson's Punchdown and they're like, Dad, how are you doing this?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Or even Super punch Out, they're like, how do you
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: know when to duck? How do you know this? I'm like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: muscle memory daby. I was like that, you don't forget this.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: This is like riding a bike, you know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So I said, in what's even what I told them too?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I said, we didn't have like safe points. So I've
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: played Super Mario three, the first like four or five
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: levels to the castle and all that before the whistles,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: probably millions of times. Like it's probably gross if you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: were to put down if they actually recorded game time play,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: because you couldn't just save it. I was like, you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: had to start fresh, you had to beat this level,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this one, this one, this one. I was like, I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: can probably beat the first couple of levels with my
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: eyes closed, because like I can picture it right now,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and I think anybody listening that's played enough can picture
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the first one in Super Mario three over Jump.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, go ahead, right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: So I just wanted to say I remember so many
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: games as a kid to where playing this plays into
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: what you were talking about earlier, Matt. I remember one
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: specific game. I was about four years old, so it
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: wasn't me who was playing. My uncle's my uncle my
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: dad were playing, but we stayed up because my uncles
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: would come over and just get completely drunk. We I
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: felt like we stayed up for like three weeks, but
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it was probably like two or three nights. Playing Fester's
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Quest on regular Nintendo. That was the if you ever
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: look up a YouTube video for toughest games, that was
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: one of the hardest games because it was one of
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: those where you had three or five lives, there were
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: no continues, You started back at the beginning when you died,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: and we played over and over and over until he
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: finally feed it, and like, I will never pick up
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: that game again just because I remember the stress.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I felt during that kids don't have that anymore, you know.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: On mine Donkey Kong. I remember playing that one religiously
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: and then all you would hear is just do doo
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: doo doo me. It was just a Grandpa rocket on
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the chair with his little Uh. I forget what music
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: device it is, but and I'm like, god, it was
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: like I was always like the the railroad cart one
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: that was always kind of a bitch, or the one
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: where you were swimming with Diddy Kong.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, Yeah, they're.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Gonna have to change ditty, They're gonna have to change it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: I just I just realized that these are gonna have
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: to change them, that they're gonna have to if there
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: if we're changing things, there be more PC. I'm sorry,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Diddy Kong, You're you've gotta go.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Was Diddy Kong before Diddy though, because then maybe they
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: should have sued. Maybe they should have went out of
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the way and been like, listen, listen, I know you're
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: p Diddy, but we are the o G diddies.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Do you think Diddy call it the Diddy Dong?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask the internet what came first.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm pretty sure Diddy did oh dang.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Oh man.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: So when you start to google it, what came first,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Diddy Kong or it says Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Ghost
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of Shoon Tushima, Mario Racing, Mario Kart now P That's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: how many asked P Diddy? Probably not a lot.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I just asked chat ChiPT Diddy Kong came first? Diddy
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Kong debut is Donkey Kong Country ninety four U.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: P Diddy.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Sean Colmbs was already active in the music industry in
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: the early nineties, but didn't adopt P Diddy until two
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: thousand and one.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Before that, he was puff Daddy yep.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say ninety four he was still puff
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: daddy yep. Interesting.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So it says in the Battle of Diddy's did Hey
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Kong wins by about seven years?
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Thank god, dude, did you guys? I don't want to
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: go into the old horts, But like the Diddy Kong
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: racing was also really good. I was just I was
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: a big fan of the Donkey Kong series.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Oh it was good. Yeah it was.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: And yeah, having to start off not only video games
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: but even like a lot of our childhood games were
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: so stressful and just triggered anxiety. That's probably why we
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have it's I'm not going maybe it's a conspiracy theory.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe not, but maybe maybe the government and my telling
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: all of them were like, listen, we got to run,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: you know, let's go, you know, ten years of super
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: high stress, anxiety driven things just to see how big
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Pharma makes out on this. I mean, had operation what
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: was the one that had the timer and he had
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to get the pieces out and then it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Went perfection, perfection man.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: That already timers and you know, high stress situations. And
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: maybe it was good, maybe it was bad. There's got
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to be a study out there. We should You're gonna
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: have to ask chat GPT if there's a study, if
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: they did it on purpose, I'm telling you conspiracy theory.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You're here to hear first.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: So I've always I'm an older millennial and I think
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: you guys are either young young jen xers or older millennials.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Correct. We've talked about this before. I think I don't know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I still I know we've talked about a lot. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: don't know the years of what things were. I was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: born in eighty five, so whatever whatever that one is,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Might be I don't know millennial gen
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: z gen x jen elfha. I know some of the terms,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: but I don't know.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: He might be a zennial. I'm giving you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I just put it in the chat GBT, which, by
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the way, I have a note to say on this.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Gen Xers is nineteen sixty five to nineteen eighty, millennials
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: eighty one to ninety six, so you're all millennials, and
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I take it. So my point is this is, I
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: know gen xers believe themselves to be like the final
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: generation where Grandma and grandpa, Mom and dad would like
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: smoke in the car with the windows up, and like
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: they see themselves as the final like tough, actual big
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: they're not. They're a little bitches because they're the children
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of the boomers. Like, let's be real, as millennials, we
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: are the We're the final generation of understanding the world
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: that existed before the Internet and the first real true
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: generation that came of age with the Internet, right because
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I didn't have the Internet until I was seventeen eighteen,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: and so like I got to experience experience, you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: like no life life without the Internet, blah blah blah
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: blah blah. So I find that to be funny. Side
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: note chat GPT last night. Boys, I was telling you
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: we had a conversation a while back about this. You know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I took my book a PDF doc file of my
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: book you can attach files, you know, pictures and everything
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: else to it. I attached it and I was like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: give me a breakdown. What do you think about this?
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: You know, knowing my past, knowing this and that it
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: broke down my book in like seven seconds, dude, Like
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: it was like, this is where you were good, Here's
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: where I think you could have been stronger. I liked this,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: but this was what you know it it's fucked nuts, dude,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Like it took what was it thirty now, it was
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: like fifty thousand words in seven seconds and it's broken down,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: and yeah, nuts.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: It's unbelievable speaking of getting a lot accomplished in seven seconds.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: And you say nuts. Do you see that there's a
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: study now that says that apparently the stress can be
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: transferred in the sperm, And like there's a study going
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: on right now with males. I think it's like forty
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: to fifty. But they're doing this study to where apparently
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: they're about like their stress levels whenever they were children
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: and everything, and that can actually be passed on apparently
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: through sperm. It's yeah, they're tested sperm right now for
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: stress levels. So I'm like, mine's going to be through
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: the proof, dude.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: So what what you're spot on? And I was talking
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: to one of my therapists about this a couple of
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: years ago, and it has been proven through some studies
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: or whatever. And the more and more we do studies
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: like this, we're finding more and more where it's happening
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: in the application of it is that stress and trauma
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: is transferred through DNA to the next generation. That's why
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: you see generational issues in some in some generation. And
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say her and speak on you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: how I know and stuff, but what she brought up
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: to me in specifics was certain demographics having more susceptibility
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to like alcoholism and stuff like that and and other problems.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And so when you go through like war torn refugee status,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: or you live through terrible, terrible genocide, genocidal you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: maniac despot authoritarian leaders and stuff, you experience that as
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: this next generation of the generation after to some extent,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: like that's built into your DNA and who you are
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: so to hear that with what you're saying you've been
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: makes perfect sense.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: See did you find something on it too, Matt or
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: is it?
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I was just apparently it's called epigenetics. Yeah, I'm
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: probably saying it wrong, but yeah, yeah, it's just like
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: kind of like you said, when there's chronic stress and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: everything like that, the DNA goes it starts to modify itself.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So obviously when you're doing this and you're passing down
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the genes and DNA and stuff to children, that modificated
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: modifification of the DNA is being passiate. It is wild.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: My poor kids, no wonder they're so stressed that all
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: the damn time too. They got just a fraction of
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: what dad's been dealing with.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Well, Like, I see my oldest daughter and I'm like,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: why are you? I see her have these like not
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: nervous ticks, but these like anxiety ticks that I have sometimes,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, girl, you are four four years old.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I haven't passed that on to.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: You, like like I've tried not to. And it's like
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. She's a part of you, right, She's
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: she's going to experience what you experience and That's why nowadays,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: instead of you know, being like shut up, I'm like,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: you know, hold my hand.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: We're going to take a big, deep breath together together.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Because it all if I would have learned box breathing
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: and breathing deeply as a young.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Child, how much that would have helped me throughout life?
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Right, And that doesn't solve all the problems, don't get
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: me wrong, but like, at least to try to build
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: that in this four year old's mind of when you're
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: in a stressful situation to stop to breathe and it
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: will at least alleviate some of that distress, then that's importantly.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: So anyway, it's wild to me, this shit is is nuts.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: When I am going through you guys know, all my
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: past and stuff like that, and there's plenty of people
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: who've had it worse. But I'm going through my past
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, I get to points where I'm thinking
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: to myself, maybe I was too hard on my mom,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: maybe my dad was right a little bit, you know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: and I'm kind of somewhat joking and stuff, but even
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: a little bit of like, man, being a parent is
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: hard and you're not perfect, and in fact, you fail
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: a lot and you think of yourself as a terrible parent.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: And when they cry and they say things like you
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: don't love me, and it's like, are you kidding me?
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Of course I love you. Just because I'm angry doesn't
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: mean I don't love you. You're just not listening when
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I tell you to, you know, pick up that donut
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: that you dropped on the ground.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And then you know, to us in that moment, you know,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the kids is like that is like the biggest moment.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I'm in so much trouble. And then all of us
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: we have that moment. Then we all sit back and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: we're like, god, damn it. At least, you know, I
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: always feel like shit, like it wasn't that big of
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a deal. But it's like if I don't teach them
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that moment, now what happens when they're an adult in
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: their own apartment and then there's just donuts everywhere, have
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: two donuts everywhere and mice feet, you know what I mean.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: So like it's a learning lesson. But I think us
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: as parents, and I think we've talked about it before too,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: but we just, I don't know, we wear a lot
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of the stress on it, and you know, we all
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have the moments where were like, uh, I should have
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: handled that better. And I go to the kids and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I tell him that, like, hey, I'm not sorry that
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I yelled at you, because let's be honest, she did
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: kind of deserve it. But it really isn't that big
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: of a deal. Like I feel bad, I know you
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: feel bad, Like what do we doing to move on?
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And they're all a little older now so we can
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: kind of have these conversations. But I know you were
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: talking about books and you were talking about trauma and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. I don't know. I had this new
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: goal this year is I wanted to start reading more
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: because they say reading is not only helps you fall asleep,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: but you know, it helps with conversation and stuff like that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: So I was like, shit, I don't know what to read.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So the wife's always wanted a Kindle, so I was like, hey,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: let's get a Kindle so we can read a little
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: bit before we already paid for Kindle unlimited because we
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: get the oldest kid is like a super book NERD
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: just loves to read. So I just randomly clicked like
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: one of the best books out there, and it's this
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: book called If You Tell by Greg Olsen. And it's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: based on a true story. And the book is so
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: disturbing and disgusting, but I can't put it down. And
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: they they they leave in short chapters without giving away.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of like generational stress of like a
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: mom was raising a really tough kid. I think the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: mole like passes away or something. And then this kid
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: becomes older and then this this troubled kid started having
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: kids and just manipulates and does some unfathomable if that's
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: even a word things to kids, and then brings in
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: other kids that need a house, brings in friends, and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: just it is absolutely disgusting. And I don't know if
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you guys read it, so I'm not going to give
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: it away, but I mean it is like, I mean,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: stuff from like making people like walk around the yard
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and do yardwork naked to humiliate them, make them live
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in chicken coops, like disgusting things, and I'm like thirty
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: forty percent through the book and it's just like what
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, just a complete piece of shit. And these
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: kids were and they went to school, they had every
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: ability to say something, but they knew that they couldn't.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, they tried to run away the mole would
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: find them and beat them and embarrass them, like out
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in the middle of winter, hosed off, not allowed to shower,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: like just terrible shit. And it's like god damn, Like
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I hope the oldest doesn't read that book. But at
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the same time, be like, you got a pretty good read.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It's not a bad day when you think I'm a jerk,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and you'll realize I'm not so bad. It's gross.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's just crazy too. Just with we were
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: talking about, you know, the anxiety with what the kids have.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's do you guys seem like
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: the anxiety in the next generations have increased or are
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: we just more aware of it because it seems like
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: our parents just thought we were being weird, you know
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: what I mean?
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's one answer, right, I think there's
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: so many contributing factors. I think, you know the people
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: who say phones definitely play a big factor into it,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: you know, phones, technology, screen time, the lack of all
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: of us coming together and having conversations and family get
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: togethers and Sunday dinners and even family dinners together. You know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: most of us don't really do that a lot. I
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: think that plays into it. I think think also what
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: plays into that is the idea that I just had
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: a brain fart, and I think the edible's coming.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Back and we're back everybody. I think the internet bullying too,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like when we were kids,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: we handled things. You you you learned how to deal
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: with some stuff. Sometimes it got out of control. There
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: was fighting. I feel like kids these days have to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: bottle everything up. I mean, you say the wrong thing
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in the school, you're kicked out or suspended. You get
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: in a fight, holy shit, you're potentially going to jail.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Like you're not allowed to release these things. And these
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: kids and I feel like there's they have to bottle
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it up at least before you could, you know, punch
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: a kid, punch your brother, punch a hole in the wall,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: punch something, release it. And I'm not saying that's the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: right way to do it, but we had We all
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: had our ways to go out there. We're pissed off
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: or riding our bike, we're outside throwing rocks, hitting this like,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: we all had ways to get rid of the anger.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know how these kids get rid of it now,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you know, So.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: What I was gonna say was humber when we were kids,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: and you would hear this, Oh he's got add he's
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: got ad D is before ADHD. Right, some of it
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: is chopped up to What my point is is that
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: some of it's chopped up to. The more and more
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: we hear these things, the more and more we try
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to self diagnose and say, Okay, well maybe he's just
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: got this and everybody else seems to have it, and
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: so that goes to other things outside of add But
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: also our parents didn't know what was going on. They
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: didn't understand, you know, the complexity of behavioral issues outside
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: of the scope in the realm of a d D.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: You know, like there's so many different types of behavioral
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: issues and temperamental issues that these kids have that we
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: experienced and we didn't realize. I have never been diagnosed.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I'm sure the doctor would have a day trying to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: explain all this shit's wrong with me.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: So I know I do it on my calculate.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm afraid that if I ever did go
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: to the doctor for you that stuff, that my test
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: would light up like a damn Chris this tree.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I just like and I know and I know in
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: like like chats and stuff. We make jokes of it
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: now because that's the generation that we did. But a
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: man like I wouldn't be the person I am today
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: if I was diagnosed with whatever I have. Whether I
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: know for a fact it's some kind of terrible OCD,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it's a little of this a little bit. The one
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: thing I wish they would have cared was probably that IBS.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: That's not a fun thing for me. But did you
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: know though, And not not to change gears, but I've
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: been starting to like take vitamins because I'm like going
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: through this weird midlight crisis. I'm forty, I'm trying to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: like be a little healthier so ione live longer. So
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I started looking into vitamins. To what I've been taking
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: vitamins for like three four weeks. My shits, my stomach problems.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Not I was able to eat out twice this week
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and not have to run in the bathroom and take
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a shit. Maybe that's all I was missing my whole
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: life was a proper diet and some vitamins. Because we've
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: talked about I mean, I grew up dominoes, checking nouggies
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: like pop tarts, ice cream, cookies, like not a lot
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of fruits and vegetables. And I was just like, I'm
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: trying to do better with the kids, but I'm.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Like, huh.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I was at a gala last night and I literally was,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: you know me, I'm always just trying to throw one
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: liners out there. Beautiful salad we're eating. I go, huh,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: so this is what veggie's tastes like, this is good.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Nobody laughed, like all like Jesus Christ.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: That's and like that's what I hate too, is so
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: I have like an extremely skinny friend that can just
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: absolutely smash like a whole pizza, just anything he wants,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: you know. And so if we ever go somewhere and
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: you know, drinks are involved over smoking little funny stuff,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: and he orders a whole bunch of food, Everyone's gonna
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: be like, wow, he's really hungry.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I could have seventy five percent of what he has.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: And they see me much larger than him, and go, oh,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: that fat really is hungry, you know what I mean.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I'm just like just like, okay, you guys, but my
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: diet was the same thing as yours, Matt. You know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: growing up a lot of the unhealthy stuff you guys
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: have been seeing me, I mean in the water lately
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: again trying to get better. I've been doing my roid
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: rage gummies.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: You know that sh.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Should help it everything as well. The one thing I've
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: not done is I need to do more vitamins. I've
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: been taking my pills like good boys.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Like I talked, I made the mistake of talking to somebody.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And this isn't like to knock them or whatever. This
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: is me just being me because I don't get made
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the not the mistake. But when I talked to this person,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: they actually know vitamins and was like, well, if you
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: need this, and they were breaking down some stuff that
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: even after googling, did I put it in chat GPT
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: as well? Yes, And I still couldn't make any goddamn
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: sense of this. They're like, you should check out the
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Methlane blue and my brain went, I'm not getting on
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the meth I don't care if it's Methlane blue, whatever
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it is. And then it was like, you need an
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: l guadamola something, and I'm like, and then I start
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: looking at the prices of this shit, and I was like,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: there's not a goddamn chance in hell I'm spending sixty
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: dollars on forty or sixty capsules or something like that.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: But the best recommendation he did. So if there is
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: anybody that's still listening or even for you guys, I
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: downloaded this app called I love the name of it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: It's called sup Co supp COO. So it's got a
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: little pill like half blue, half purple, and I downloaded
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: that and then I put you can have things like,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: oh shit, I'm forty. So I say like, let's just
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: get this protocol and it tells you what a forty
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: year old person should roughly be taken. And I was like, oh,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: somebody tweaked it to what I'm taking this and that,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and then it gives you a score and it says,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I would recommend a little more of this,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: or a little less this, double this, add this. So
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: like for me, I'm taking eight different ones. I'm taking
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: a probiotic that has ten billion different something in it.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, fish oil that's got like omega threes
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and shit in it, magnesium super b with vitamin C,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: vitamin C, vitamin D three, and zinc. Taking eight different pills,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I tell you, they say it takes three to four
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: weeks to feel. But like I'm I'm telling her right now,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I feel a little bit better. My brain's feel a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: little bit better. My poops are better. Oh yeah, and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: ryd rage and the gummies one of those or two
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: of those today.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Damn c you don't want to make pilgrims of those.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, they're all a little bit different. So here's like,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: so this is what it does. I'll show you quickly
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: on the app. So like this one. My score is
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a sixty four, which ship bring me back to high school.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: But it's saying because I need some more nicotinamity and
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: montag If I can't say it, I'm not putting my
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: body yet, and I need a little less magnesium and
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: some omega threes. So like, uh, the products. So then
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it comes in here and it breaks them down.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: If you if you can't say it, you're not put
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: it in your body? Can you?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Can you say dick, I can't have how's that say?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I'll be it stupid? You are showing something that.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So like I take the short words cardo, No
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: once they dick it was a short thing, joke. Car Yeah,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: it's a ten billion of that probiotic. I take two
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: ashwa Gandhi gummies, which sounds pretty cool in their gummies.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: And but what I like about this to it it
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: tells you, like what it's good for, tells you all
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the stuff and you And the reason that I think
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: my score is a little different because you pick what
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: your goals are, like if you want to just be
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit healthier generic health, you know, you want
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: better moods, mind stability, shit like that. But it's a yeah,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I take two fifty magnesium. I forget five hundred vitamin C,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: one thousand D, three thousand fish oil, thirty grams of
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: ink and I can send that over to you guys
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: after if you want.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: It's based on this and that. Of course they always
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: say consult a doctor and all this stuff, but I
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: was like, I consulted some people that read into supplements
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: and they work out and stuff. But my biggest fear,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: of course me Like this dude broke it down and
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: like cause I was like, yeah, should I take it
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: in the morning? Should I take it with food? In
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the app to say that too, and I was like, listen,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just a little bit nervous about taking, you know,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: too much of this or whatever. And then having to
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: like shit all day and he's like, what nothing you're
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: gonna take it's gonna make it shit. And I'm like really,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: He's like yeah, He's like, why does just about everything
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: make you shit? I'm like, yeah, except for like water.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Look at you.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I mean even water was making me shit. There for
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: I could just stare at something and be like got it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I think I'm gonna take a probiotic.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: And he's like, dude, you don't really need a probiotic,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: especially if you've been taking whatever. It's like, no, you
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Like I've never taken a vitamin in forty
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: years of my life, Like I'm just starting. He goes,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: never I go back in the day. If I was
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: starting to have a cold or something, my mom always
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to take a vitamin C to help with it. But
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: other than that, nope, he goes. He goes, what kind
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: of life are you living? I go what. He's like,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: you've never taken vitamins or gotten anything. I'm like, no,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was a thing. He's like, explain
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: your diet. I was like, all right, well, now I'm
• 37:37

• 37:40
  Speaker 1: for lunch, and then I don't know, pizza or something
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: for dinner. And he's like, huh, yeah, you should probably
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: get on somebody. He's like, you're not eating enough protein,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: You're not doing this. I was like, he's like, how
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: are your levels at the doctors. I'm like, I don't
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: always says I'm good, doc. I think you need a
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: new doctor.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: I know that's uh. I'm afraid too, because whenever I
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: do go to the doctor, I always like, hey, you know, so,
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: what what's your diet? Typical insists of you do? And

• 38:32
  Speaker 4: tried it sweet corn disgusting, Like it's all gross.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: The taste of it nasty, and it's funny. It's like,
• 38:40

• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and salt on it. It's like, isn't that the kind
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: of defeating the point here?

• 39:50
  Speaker 1: chicken wings. Growing up. I never we didn't go to
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the produce section when I was a kid, and I
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: always we ordered a lot of chicken wings and they'd
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: be like sell. My parents were like, nah, we don't
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: eat that shit, not ranch nah. And I only thought
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: And I remember one time somebody like brought in a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: lunch or something because I was friends with people that
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: ran track, and I'm like, but you got chicken wings
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: or something for lunch and they're like no. I was like,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the hell did you get the celery? Then? Did your
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: parents have chicken wings? They're like no, I bought it
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: or we grew it in the gardener. I bought them,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Like you can just buy this stuff. I thought only
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: came with wings. And they're like, oh my god.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: The first time I had to bite a cellar, I
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: was like, you were choosing to eat this shit? This
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: is fawful.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the stress of feeling like you
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: need to eat healthy is worse for you than I'm
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: not saying, like, go eat a big mac every goddamn
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: night over salads and shit like that, but it is.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I still haven't done enough research in it. But there's
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that isn't great for you, that
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: still isn't that bad for you, you know what I mean.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Like there's a reason that NFL players are leading the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: way in crustable sales.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: That dude, my daughter swears by those damn things. I'm like,
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: let me just make you a sandwich and I will
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: just get a cup and twist that son of a
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: bitch on the bread. Uncrustable.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: And she's say it's not the same, And I was like,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: your mother actually makes homemade jelly. You even say it
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: tastes better. Correct She's like, oh yeah, that joy is shit.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, is it the peanut butter? I can
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: I'll try three different peanut butters. I am getting cheap now.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I've been buying like it was like the Members Mark
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: peanut butter from like Sam's Club or what I'm getting
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: the Big Sheep peanut butter now.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: And what I'm telling you, if you ever and this
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: is my opinion. These are I say, a friend of
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the show, but I buy the stuff. They don't pay
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: us to say this, so I think we're most popular podcast.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: When they're telling you to go check out a brand,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: they're getting paid to say it. When we say roid rage,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: we try it, we eat them. They're not paying us
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to say this. But our peanut butter, that always it
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: fun to say fucking fucking peanut butter. I still buy it.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I just bought three more. I got the almond. Turns
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: out the cashew isn't for me, but the life loves it.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I have never had cashew peanut butter, and
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: there is a very big difference. And of course me,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: most people, I think would just take a little bit
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: and try it. Now I made a full on peanut
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: butter and jelly sandwich with it, and I was like, yeah,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: this is this is much different. But that peanut, oh
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: my god, is a goddamn good and it it just
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: not the taste. Now, it doesn't defeat the purpose putting
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: the very cheap wallfart brand jelly on it and the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: squeeze because I'm too lazy to get probably because the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: family yells at me. Why is there so much peanut
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: butter in the jelly? I don't know, you're supposed to
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: wipe it off first.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't ever eat jelly. I just eat straight
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: peanut butter sandwiches. And they dog on me all the time,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: they're like, ugh, there's no jelly in there. I was like, no,
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: it's you can have a peanut butter sandwich without jelly,
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Like you don't need the jelly, you know. And they're like, no,
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: you most definitely need the jelly. That that's criminal, And
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: I'm like, the fuck. I don't eat toast my bread,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: then put some peanut butter on it, dip that stuff
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: a little bit of milk, like it's a cookie.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Dipping bread and milk.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: Dude, Oh my god, I'm telling you not just I'm not.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: So.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about just a little dip to where you
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: bite into it. Milk's just kind of it's kind of gay, actually,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: now that I say that.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: You know, when you grow up playing SMQ baby, you
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: eat PBG milk.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: That's what I was.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: I was the cue eating those sandwiches. And you know what,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: I'll be another one. I'll send you guys a picture
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: of just this milk running down this face and me
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: enjoying a toast. It's a toasted peanut butter sandwich is
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: top notch. It's almost equivalent of me struggling and having
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: those mayonnaise and mustard sandwiches.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Stop making fun of them, Henry, he's a normal boy.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: The little ship's dipping his peanut butter sandwich and milk.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: We're gonna start We're stay out of the fridge. We're
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: gonna start coming up with like a random just like
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: whatever we ebro came. Boys, have you ever tried this?
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: And we're gonna try it. We got to try it
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: each week and then we're going to ridicule you or like, hey,
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: is this is this actually? You know, I don't want
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: to say you don't think there's other people who do
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: the snack stuff. But I was saying, it's trying to
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: think of a catchphrase. But is it edible or not edible?
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: And edibles eating edibles? Seeing if things are edible. I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: mean that seems like a pretty good move. I mean,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: at the time that we do record it is in
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: between well, it's pretty much it would be brunch for me.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you guys would call it, I
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: mean nine ish year time in the morning, it's a
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: good time to eat some food, so I mean, I mean, Chad.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: They would recommend at one point to say, hey, they
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: would do a weird challenge where you would create something
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and then the guys at one one you guys rotate,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: so you been says all right, this is what we're trying,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: and you try, or they say we should do a
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: challenge where we take only things that we have in
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: our fridge, unprepared and try to make the best thing
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: out of it. And I'm like, well, we can't really
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: make things. We're not in a kitchen, but we could
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: always film.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: In the kitchen, but my kids would be just running
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: rampant as the thing. I'd have to play their own
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: kitchen out here.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: On Amazon last week, it's funny you bring this up.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: I ordered a bunch of random crazy foods to try
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: on the radio show this week, including hot dog flavored
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: hard candy, hot chicken fried chicken flavored hard candy, grubs
• 45:15

• 45:32
  Speaker 3: the ship out of them. Today ordered a bunch of
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: other foods. There was these like chocolate covered cherries that

  Speaker 4: of them so far.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna try some of these on the show,
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: and I was figured it'd be kind of fun. We
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: also ordered that monkey Gland sauce from South Africa, but
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna get here till aprils.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: For those that don't know what that is, because obviously
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: me and you been have heard about that. What is
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the monkey gland sauce from South Africa?
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: So it's a South African sauce that's like barbecue sauce.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: It's a tomato and onion base is what it's.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: What does it come from?
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: It doesn't, it doesn't. It's a you would you would
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: think it's from South Africa. Monkey Gland sauce that they're
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: like taking monkeys and just like.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: If only somebody you knew could have delivered it by
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: drone right.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: D me when you send it on a mayflower?
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's any kids listening, they don't know
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: what that is? The stupid Just so I know, we're
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: just about out of time. But in your state, do
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: you guys to graduate like high school, is there like
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: a test system that you have to pass, like in
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: New York that we have what's called Regent's exams and
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: to graduate with a region's diploma in the state of
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: New York, you have to pass like an English and
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: all this, like certain ones or you're not eligible. You
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: can still graduate, but you can't graduate with a Regent's diploma.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Do you guys have something like that?
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: I know that there's like certain requirements in high school
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: in order to get a diploma, like you have to
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: have so much like history, so much whatever. But I
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: don't know if if there's a term for that.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I guess yeah, it was. It was always a thing
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that was in New York. So a region's diploma, it's
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: a high school diploma earned by passing exams in New
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: York it's required, So you have to pass five Regents
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: exams with a minimum score sixty five plus twenty two credits,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: all this bullshit. One's math, one's English, one science, one's
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: social to get it. Well. In twenty twenty seven, they
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: were like, Eh, we're good, We're gonna get rid of it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, so for like, living in New York
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: my whole life, I'm like, I just thought it was normal,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Like you had to get to study your ass off,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: you had to take these extra like you just had
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: to do a bunch of shit. And it was just
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: like then you had all these smarter kids, not necessarily
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: book smart, but definitely much smarter. Where they went to
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: a trade school, still took the core classes, graduated with
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: pretty much a profession already, and still a high school diploma.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Well you know what I mean. The other group that
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: didn't go to the trade school had to take all
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: these extra ones. And I'm like, son of a bitch,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: New York's finally probably getting equivalent to other states.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: Those those kids that took the vocational classes, Dude, they
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: were the smart ones for sure. They're like, hey, time
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: for us to leave it, Like ten forty five and
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, ah, and they're like, we're stop by the
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: gas station like we do every single day before we
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: head to this other town to go to these school.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: I'm like, and you just swing by like the gas
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: station and get snacks.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: They're gonna get snacks, they're gonna have a smoke, they're
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: gonna probably have a beer throwing to chew. And I'm like,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: should have.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Been should have been smarter?
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Even I know, I never even said too. Like even
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: the shop teacher kept giving me crap. He goes, look
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: at those hands. They're really soft. And I never became
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: a hand model or nothing. They're still soft.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, wait, let's roll it back wood teacher
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: was commenting on the softness of your ass.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: M small got that a bro, I can't do anything.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Also, I also had a D. It was an A
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: for the D, but it was We had like these
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: ruler tests and it was embarrassing because like I would
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: make fun of like these one kids. I'm like, they're slow,
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: Like those kids are definitely slow, and then they would
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: get one hundred percent of the ruler test and I'm like,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: because you just.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Put your dick on the ruler that's not what the assignment.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Was, dude.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: The comments that I had on this ruler test every
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: single time, I'm like, that's three and three eighths even now,
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: like when my father in law watches me get the
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: tape measure out and everything, and I'm like counting like
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: the lines, and he goes Jesus Christ, and I'm like, yeah,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: I had to cheat my ruler test to pass and
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: in shop class and he goes, I can tell yeah.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, they make the rulers now they
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: have a digital output on top. And I actually bought
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: it because like buy in stuff for like older people, parents,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: grandparents or something. They have everything. So I found him
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: on of all places of the TikTok shop before it
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: was banned for Christmas. I got the father in law
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: and my father won, and of course my dad was
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: like show me how he was a goddamn thing. But
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: it was just wherever it came out, it just had
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: the nice dip. Because he's getting old as hell. He
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: likes to do construction shit. He's like, oh, it's actually
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: pretty handy.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: I need to get I have the one that has
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: all of them like labeled now, like it's it's very detailed.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: So whatever I get it, I'm like, I can say
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: it with confidence. I'm like, bam, it's that. And he
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: gives me kind of like the you sure, and I'm like, off, guy,
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: like I'm getting better with this, you know. And I
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: have to pass this down on to my kid, and
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: I know he's gonna be as useless as iwa and
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I can't have that.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: He's gotta do better than me. He's got to learn
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: this stuff, pick up a trade, take care of his dad.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Or I think it's nice though, because you do it,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: you measure it, and then it's on the display so
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: when you walk back you can still see what it
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: is because not only does the measure, but by the
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: time he walks over to cut something and he's like,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: what the hell is that again? God damn it? Or
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: you know, and then you know he's writing it on
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: this and he's just drong, and then he can't read
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: his writing and then I told him wrong, and it's
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: just like there's did there it is? Bring it over
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: cut it, Hey, work smarter, not harder, they said, just like,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: measure twice, cut once.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: So you ever had that moment in school where You're
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: looking around and you're like, why is that slow kid here?
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Another one over here too. You look up at the
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: teacher and she sees you counting slow kids, and you
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: come to the realization that you two are in the
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: nice class.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: I used to always get like those backhanded commients every
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: time that I would do really well to test or.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Like hey look at you, like you you did it,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: we knew you could and everything, and I'm like, you
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: wrote your name, you know pretty much.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: And I'm just kind of like, hey, wait a minute,
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: and I'm like everyone seemed to do well here. Why
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: are you pointing me out? Like what even I did good?
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying right now?
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Like, hey, no, it's worse. This one time I got
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: put into a like the highest level math glass and
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I wasn't the smart kid, but I looked around and
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's good. They got nine. There
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: was everybody that had like ninety five plus averages in
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: school and I was sitting there. So we go through
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: the tests and all of a sudden, the teacher was awesome.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: He's just like hey, we got to do something. And
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: he's like, listen, you know the there's there's been some
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: lower test scores in here, and all the nerds are like, ah,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna have to partner up, and uh, Matt,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: why don't you pick the first partner? And there was
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: like a girl like ninety nine. I was like, huh
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: all right. And then I got to the point where
• 52:34

  Speaker 1: go play baseball at this one school, apparently my guidance
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: counselor was like, you don't really need them. Turns out
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I really did need them. So like, I'm on the
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: very last one to take them. My buddy, he's like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I was told I got to take this goddamn thing too,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm going to Lineman School. I don't

  Speaker 1: there and we're starting to take it, and the ladies
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: like and apparently you're supposed to say like prep tat

• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and walks out. He said, good luck with this, you nerds,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: and leaves. Dude makes probably dude makes easy six figures.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Just you're not saying just but like he's out on storm.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: He's saving the day, getting everybody power and stuff. Didn't
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: need any of that shitt.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Listen, this whole thing that we needed college jammed down
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: our throat was a complete nutter bullshit. I've got people
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: are gonna laugh, you know, but I've got student loans
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: that I need to pay off, and they'll be paid
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: off in like a year. But the fact that we
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: were all pushed to go to college, it was just
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: such a It was so unnecessary for my experience being
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: in radio, being a journalist. I didn't need college, needed
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: college to learn how to write. But you know how
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: you become a better writer, You're right, You fight, you read,
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: That's how you become a better writer.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: And I don't I mean everywhere, at least in this state.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: It's like your first two years. All they do is
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: push general ed shit anyways to bring it full circle
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: because I know we got to get out of here.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: It's Mitael's fault. They pushed the games, then Mitael pushed college.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: And I think there's a whole conspiracy theory we're gonna
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: unlock with the help of AI about how they ruined
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: our childhood Sons of Pitches, big Farm, and.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: I went to college for a solid two and a
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: half months. Baby, Yeah, I did it.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you guys, and
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: I'm proud to whoever. This was a roller coaster of
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: an emotion. This was like an emotional roller coaster episode.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: I loved it. You know, some serious stuff, some funny stuff,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: some Diddy talk, some video. It was everything on this one.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: You're wearing Biggie Smalls when we're talking about Diddy. Didn't
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: realize that either.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the kids got me this for Christmas
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: because we named our big big dog Biggie. And every
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: time I see him, I'm like, Biggie Smalls is the
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: wickedest or else sing something.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: What like the top part of it, though over time
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: it cuts out. It's like, is it Bernie Mack or
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: is it Biggie Small or something that? Definitely but like
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: from like Bernie Mack right there. Yeah, all, don't look alike.
