HHBSO 138: Giving Less F***s · He's Hot but Something's Off...

0:02
Hello, welcome to He's hot, but some things off.
0:07
I'm shirtless today, so if you all want to switch over to the
0:09
YouTube version, I happen to be shirtless today.
0:12
It's pretty warm in Los Angeles. It is right now it's 91° outside
0:19
the high for yesterday, Tuesday. I record this the day before it
0:23
goes up. Tuesday this week it was 95.
0:27
Today's Wednesday as I'm recording it and it's going to
0:30
be the high is 93. So definitely getting some
0:33
record high temps here. It's actually not like too warm
0:37
for me. Yesterday was I guess was at
0:40
home the entire day. So it was 95° was the high
0:44
yesterday in West Hollywood, and during the day I didn't run the
0:48
AC at all. So yesterday I didn't go to the
0:50
gym. This morning I did.
0:52
Well, I'll get to the gym in a bit.
0:53
I've got something to talk about the gym.
0:55
But yesterday it was not a gym day.
0:58
I was just working the entire day.
1:01
And if I'm just at home and I'm not like doing chores or
1:04
whatever, I'm just working on the computer, just not really
1:09
burning any calories. Seriously, I get cold kind of
1:13
easily. So at some point yesterday
1:16
afternoon into the evening, the office got up to 78°.
1:23
So I've got a Nest thermostat and I got the little temperature
1:26
sensors for the different rooms. So there's a temperature sensor
1:30
in the living room, there's one in the bedroom, there's one in
1:33
my office where I work, and the office temperature sensor, it
1:38
went up to 78. But because I'm just sitting on
1:40
my ass the entire day barely moving, I didn't feel hot.
1:47
So for most people, 78°, like they're starting to feel like a
1:50
little bit warm. At least some people would
1:54
think, OK, that's they're just sweating, even if just sitting
1:57
there 78°. But for me, I was just on my
1:59
computer was pretty productive yesterday, 78° and BD, if it got
2:05
up to like 80 degree 80°, then it's maybe like, oh, OK, it's
2:10
starting to feel like a little warm even I'm just sitting in my
2:12
house. But if I'm just literally not
2:15
doing anything, like not burning any calories, I'm not trying to
2:18
clean the house, I'm not trying to do any chores in the house.
2:20
I'm like sitting on the couch, sitting on my desk, not moving.
2:24
Yeah, like high 70s is fine. What I didn't feel, obviously I
2:29
didn't feel cold, but I didn't feel warm.
2:30
Honestly, it didn't feel hot at all.
2:33
So yesterday during the day, even though it was the hottest
2:35
day out of this little heat wave that we're getting, I didn't use
2:39
the AC at all. The times where I do have to use
2:42
the AC, when it does get warm, it's at night.
2:43
But when I'm sleeping it can't be warm because it's just so
2:47
uncomfortable. I already sleep warm usually.
2:51
So I do turn the AC down. I do turn the AC on and turn the
2:54
thermostat down when I'm sleeping.
2:57
That's the only time this morning I went to the gym
2:58
though. OK, actually left the gym early
3:00
today, a little early because once in a while you're just not
3:07
feeling it at the gym. So there's a difference between
3:11
OK, you're lazy and like it's, it's maybe just not the day to
3:16
push records. And today was not one of those
3:18
days to like really push records.
3:20
There's probably a little bit of laziness in there if I'm just
3:23
being completely honest with myself.
3:24
But for someone who goes to the gym 45 * a week doing weights
3:31
pretty much like there's not usually a good reason for me to
3:35
take a week off. Like obviously sometimes I go on
3:38
a trip, I go out of town, then obviously I when I am on a trip
3:42
I just don't usually even try to gym at all.
3:44
But today was one of those days where I just quit the gym early
3:47
and that's fine. Once in a while I have a what's
3:50
called AD load week, which is a week where either I completely
3:55
don't live anyways or I go like really, really light.
4:00
So I think I'm getting close to the point where I've been need
4:03
one of those break deload weeks. And you can't just like
4:09
endlessly continuously keep lifting more and more and more
4:12
weights without some sort of break.
4:14
So that's where this concept of deload is.
4:16
And you also need to like give your body a bit of like a break
4:18
like your joints and your muscles when you are trying to
4:21
like lift more and more weights progressively.
4:25
But anyways, I think I'm getting pretty close to that point.
4:27
But the other reason I left the gym early, there's this guy and
4:31
I've never seen him before, which is like so weird because
4:34
like this gym, the crunch in West Hollywood, like we've only
4:38
got what, two more weeks here before it closes permanently?
4:40
But anyways, this guy was wearing way too much of like
4:43
aftershave or like some chemically spelling fragrance or
4:47
like expired Axe body spray, like whatever it is.
4:51
I was 10 feet away from him and I could smell it and it didn't
4:54
smell good. Like, OK, if you're going to
4:58
wear anything with fragrance, perfume, Cologne, body spray,
5:06
aftershave, like anything, just at least once, ask a friend, OK,
5:14
maybe you're getting ready to like go out with friends to like
5:17
the club, to have dinner, like whatever.
5:19
Just do it like once or like do it once or twice a year just to
5:23
like check in. OK, Just wear the aftershave and
5:28
the clone or whatever and, and literally ask your friend.
5:30
Ask your friend, the friend that's going to tell you the
5:33
truth and the friend that is maybe not scared to hurt the
5:38
feelings a little bit, but you got to be able to handle the
5:40
truth. Maybe not like a super close
5:42
friend sometimes a super close friend that would disagree with
5:44
you all the time. So Oh no, you're not wearing too
5:46
much of that. But ask a friend, Hey, am I
5:49
wearing too much? Like can you smell me from like
5:52
6 feet away? Like, am I wearing too much of
5:54
what I'm wearing? If someone can smell you but
5:57
they can't see you, that's way too much.
6:01
Like if I smell something and I look around and I don't even see
6:04
you, like that is way way way too much.
6:07
You might like how you smell, but there's a chance that 50% of
6:12
the people around you hate it. Fragrances are very subjective
6:16
and my guideline for this is like like the three feet rule.
6:23
If I'm 3 feet within 3 feet of you and I can smell you, that's
6:26
fine. Even 3 feet.
6:29
Like if you're going to like a mixer, a bar or something and
6:32
someone's three feet away from you, they're pretty close.
6:34
Like that's, you know, but imagine if everybody in the
6:37
crowded bar was, was smellable from three feet away.
6:42
Could you imagine the it's probably too much anyways, but
6:46
like, that's my very general rule.
6:48
It's like just go up to a frame once in a while.
6:51
Just put your aftershave and Cologne on the in your usual
6:53
manner. And then the next time I hang up
6:56
with a friend, just ask, hey, am I worrying too much of this?
7:00
And while you're at it, can you also ask them like, that's my
7:03
breath smell now. Again, you need to ask a friend
7:07
that is not going to that's going to tell you the truth
7:12
nicely. It's no good to ask a friend
7:16
where they're just going to kind of lie to you to not hurt your
7:19
feelings like that's that's not the point of this exercise
7:22
because sometimes people's breath stinks like every once in
7:25
a while. But I'm just using the gym as
7:27
reference just because I spent so much time in the gym.
7:28
But it could be in any situation sometimes.
7:31
Have you ever had someone like walk by you and you can smell
7:35
the plaque in their mouth? I mean, they don't want to have
7:38
bad breath, but maybe they need to go see like a medical
7:41
professional. But there are conditions where
7:45
it could cause bad breath and it's not because, you know, the
7:48
person isn't taking care of the hygiene.
7:50
So there are conditions like that.
7:52
It's not the person's fault. But like, hey, it was me and my
7:56
breath smells like plaque, which is like a very distinct smell
8:00
and I didn't notice it, but other people do.
8:01
Like I would want to know so that I can go get help.
8:04
But this is not shade. This sounds like some this
8:06
sounds shady, right? But no, like nobody wants their
8:09
breath to smell. Honestly, no one wants that.
8:12
But sometimes you don't notice because of like the way some of
8:15
these medical conditions are. I'm not being shady.
8:17
It's like sometimes you need someone else to tell you like
8:21
something is up, but sometimes you just don't notice.
8:23
That's just, that's just the way sometimes the human body works.
8:30
But the after shaving the colonists like honestly don't
8:32
spray so much of it. This guy just had way too much
8:34
like literally I was like 10 feet away from him and I can
8:36
smell it and it didn't smell good.
8:40
Like, and the gym is not somewhere you want to wear a
8:44
bunch of Cologne or whatever. Anyways.
8:47
You know, sometimes you go to like certain types of parties,
8:52
like certain types of like gay parties.
8:55
Not, not not necessarily ORG wise, but like certain types of
8:59
like like a circuit party, like a like a circuit party, a gay
9:02
circuit party. You don't want to wear a ton of
9:05
Cologne because people are in very close proximity of each
9:08
other on the dance floor. So wearing a whole bunch of like
9:12
body spray or aftershave a Cologne like it doesn't, it's
9:15
not you don't, it's not a situation for that when you're
9:18
at the gym, like, oh, by the way, don't think that wearing a
9:20
ton of fragrance, it's going to mask your Bo because it doesn't
9:26
work. It does not work to wear a ton
9:30
of fragrance to try to cover up your Bo from sweating at the
9:33
gym. I just need all of you to know
9:36
that you might think you're like, oh, I'm going to put on a
9:39
little extra aftershave or a little extra body spray or
9:42
Cologne or whatever. Because I know I get sweaty at
9:44
the gym and I don't want to smell like be like, it doesn't
9:46
work. It just smells like Beel mixed
9:48
with chemicals. Like it, it's, it could maybe
9:50
smell even worse if you know, you sweat a lot or like, you
9:55
know, that, you know, just like, I mean, I think when people at
9:58
the gym, like they're OK with people smelling like Beel,
10:01
sometimes it's like, hey, if you're working out hard, you're
10:04
sweating. Some people are just more
10:05
predisposed to like that sweaty smell.
10:09
Like that's why they have, I don't know, I'm the best person
10:13
to give advice on how to like reduce how bad you smell at the
10:18
gym when you're really, really sweaty because I'm not a sweaty
10:20
person and I don't tend to smell that much.
10:22
They're like other products. Like it's just like a bunch of
10:25
fragrance. It's not the way to do it.
10:26
OK, deodorant. They've got antiperspirant.
10:30
Those are like, better ways to do it.
10:32
But like a bunch of Cologne, a bunch of body spray, like,
10:35
that's not usually the way to do it.
10:37
You probably want to use products that are, like,
10:39
designed for that. Yeah.
10:41
But anyway, that's also that. So this guy was also part of the
10:44
reason why I left because like I was at I was doing bench presses
10:48
and then he like I was near the end of my set and then he was
10:53
using the station next to mine, the bench press station next to
10:55
mine. And like they're not that close
10:58
together. He's a good like 8 or 10 feet
10:59
away from me. He's like, I can smell it later
11:01
on. Then I went to use one of the
11:02
pulleys and he's he came and used the pulley beside mine.
11:05
So it's like, Oh my God, get out of here.
11:08
ANYWAYS, So yeah, I've got, I spent so much time at the gym.
11:12
I really feel like because I spent so much time there, I try
11:19
to be like extra considerate of this place I go to all the time.
11:24
But anyway, so I also need to like, find a new gym now or
11:27
we'll get that out in a bit. But yeah, just don't wear it.
11:29
Like just ask a friend. It's really good.
11:32
And like, just do it once at least so you have a reference
11:34
point. But I don't think it's a bad
11:38
idea. One time I told David it was,
11:41
this was like ages ago. He was staying over.
11:44
And then one night I think we were going to like, we decided
11:47
to like go to go out for dinner and then hopped into my car.
11:52
And then I could smell that some, some piece of garment he
11:57
was wearing was starting to smell like Bo.
11:58
And I just told him, but like, we're close friends and I didn't
12:01
do it in like a nasty way. I just, I just said like, hey,
12:03
like something you're wearing smells a little.
12:06
OK. So there are ways to do it, like
12:09
not in like a mean way, but sometimes you just have to like
12:14
tell them people's feelings. It's easy to hurt people's
12:18
feelings, isn't it? I mean, that's just, I'm reading
12:21
this book. I just finished reading this
12:23
book. I've got the, I think it's
12:25
called the life changing Magic. I'm not giving a fuck.
12:29
So one of you guys on Patreon, one of my fans, one of my
12:33
Patreon subscribers got me a Kindle, which I'm very thankful
12:39
for. And I've been using it like
12:40
literally every night. I've been using it every night
12:44
just to read whatever. So I was reading what's the
12:48
first? What's that first book from So
12:51
Heated Rivalry? The TV show is based on a a set
12:55
of novels. There's like I think 5 novels in
12:57
this series and I think the 6th 1 is going eventually to be
13:00
written and released later. But the very first one, I forgot
13:03
the name of it. The second book is called Heated
13:06
Rivalry, but the first book I just forgot the name of it.
13:10
But that is about the story of Scott and Kipp.
13:14
So I was like, oh, I love, I love the TV show.
13:17
Let's read the books. Let's read the series of books.
13:21
But it's just like a whole series of them.
13:22
And I wanted to start from the first book, which I forgot the
13:25
name of now conveniently. So I read that whole thing.
13:28
Thank you for you know who you are.
13:30
I don't want to like throw names out there, but you know who you
13:31
are. Thank you for giving me the
13:32
Kindle. But I read that pretty quickly.
13:35
And I haven't read the second book, which is which is actually
13:38
called Heat Rivalry, which is about what the TV show is about
13:41
those characters. But anyways, I'm holding off on
13:44
reading the second book because it took me no time to read the
13:48
first one. So I know that once I read the
13:50
second one, I'll be very tempted to read the third one, which I
13:53
think the third one has storylines from the second
13:57
season of the TV show. And I was thinking, do I want to
14:00
read it first or do you want to watch it first?
14:03
And I've decided I think I want to watch the show first before I
14:06
read it, which I think is kind of backwards, right?
14:08
I think a lot of people when there's ATV show based on a
14:11
book, a lot of times I feel like people want to read it first and
14:16
then they want to watch the show anyways.
14:18
But like I kind of want to do it the other way around.
14:21
Anyways, that's a really roundabout way for me to say I
14:25
don't want to read that second book yet.
14:27
So I was reading other stuff. Like I don't read a lot, but in
14:30
my Kindle account library, there's like just a few other
14:33
random books there. And one of the books I don't
14:35
know how I got it was this book. I don't know if it's the exact
14:39
title, like the life changing magic, I'm not giving a fuck.
14:42
Basically. It's kind of like a self help
14:45
book. And the point of the book is to
14:50
helped you decide what things in your life to give a fuck about
14:55
and what things to not give a fuck about.
14:57
In less crass language, it's basically like, what are things
15:02
in your life that you should spend less of your time and
15:07
effort and money and energy on versus other things?
15:11
And it's got this concept of like, well, what brings you joy
15:13
or what brings you annoy? So a very common example in the
15:16
book is being obligated to do or show up for things that you
15:22
actually don't care about. But it's an obligation.
15:24
It's like you're getting invited to some baby shower when you
15:28
don't care about kids and you don't care about babies.
15:30
But it's like, I don't know, some friend.
15:33
Maybe it's not even like a good friend.
15:34
It's like an acquaintance. And I realized over the last few
15:39
years, I do more and more of what the book is kind of
15:44
preaching. Like, for example, I never, I
15:49
very rarely fix my hair to go to the gym the last few years.
15:56
But you know, when I was younger, I would probably like
16:00
put in some effort. I'll wear a hat, I'll put in
16:04
some effort, I'll put back contacts.
16:05
And I don't wear contacts to the gym, which is kind of
16:09
interesting. Sometimes once in a great while
16:12
these days, I'll happen to be at the gym with contact lenses in
16:17
because probably because of some other reason.
16:20
It's so rare that I feel like, you know what, for the gym
16:22
today, I'll put my contacts in. It's just a real reason for me
16:25
to put contacts in for to just to go to the gym.
16:29
So this hair that I'm looking at, yes, I'm getting haircut
16:32
just in case you're watching and you're like, why is why is this
16:34
hair so fucked up right now? I'm getting haircut soon.
16:37
I explained on the uncut episode this past weekend why I wasn't
16:41
getting haircut, if you want to listen to that.
16:42
I mean, it's probably not worth paying the money just to listen
16:44
to that one story. But anyways, yeah, when I go to
16:47
the gym, I do have this headband, like tennis style
16:51
headband that I always keep in my gym bag and it's just to push
16:54
my hair back. It also kind of semi makes the
16:58
hair look, I don't know, 20% presentable.
17:01
That's as much effort and credit as I can give myself there, but
17:05
it's just to keep my hair out of my face because it's annoying
17:08
when you're working out. And I only have a few shirts
17:12
that I kind of cycle through. I have a few shirts that I cycle
17:15
through for the gym. Same with like shorts and
17:17
sweatpants. I don't put my contacts in.
17:20
I don't do anything special for my face.
17:22
Like I don't, I don't put on Cologne.
17:24
I used to put like some deodorant.
17:28
I sweat like, you know, most of the time when I'm at the gym, my
17:32
hands are cold. Like I'm not sweating at the gym
17:35
really. I just have that body type where
17:37
like I'm, I'm cold a lot of the time.
17:38
So I could be working hard. If you came with a few my hands,
17:40
my hands would be like frigid. So a lot of times when I'm at
17:43
the gym, at least to start, I have this like jacket on because
17:46
I'm if I just go right into the gym at the beginning in shorts
17:50
and a tank, I'm freezing my ass off.
17:51
There's obviously they cranked the AC in there, but like I'm
17:53
just hot. I mean, I'm just cold.
17:55
Anyways, yeah, I don't make any effort to look good, which is
17:58
weird because the gym is like the one place I go to regularly
18:01
where there are hot eligible guys.
18:03
But I just don't. I just don't care to spend time,
18:08
money, energy to impress people that I don't know in like 90% of
18:17
the time. You know, when I'm on vacation,
18:18
I go on a trip sometimes I like to doll myself up because I want
18:22
to doll myself up and it makes me feel good and it doesn't feel
18:26
like the chore. You know, when I'm when I'm on
18:29
like one of the Atlantis cruises, I will put on a little
18:33
bit of make up, a little bit of tinted foundation.
18:35
If I have a zit or something, I have like a little concealer.
18:37
I'll do my hair. I'll get a haircut right before
18:39
I go, but it doesn't feel like a chore, doesn't feel like an
18:43
obligation. Like I just like I do like
18:45
looking nice, but when I'm just going to the gym, I'm just there
18:49
to lift weights. There are a lot of hot eligible
18:53
looking. Well, I don't know if they're
18:55
actually eligible, but there are a lot of hot guys at the gym.
18:57
But I, you know, every once in a while I'll ask myself, are you
19:01
going to fuck that guy? And the answer is no.
19:04
The reason why I sometimes ask myself that question is have you
19:08
guys ever had the thing where when you're at the gym,
19:11
sometimes you want to like stay a little longer or like work out
19:16
in a certain part of the gym or use a particular piece of
19:18
equipment to be close to like some guy that you think is hot
19:20
and you want to check him out. Is it just me?
19:24
Maybe it's just me, I don't know.
19:25
So sometimes if there's like some particularly attractive
19:29
guy, well, I think they're attractive.
19:31
I don't have my glasses on. Everyone, everyone looks hotter.
19:33
Everyone looks 20% hotter than they probably actually are
19:35
because I don't wear my contacts.
19:37
So everybody like, anyways, once in a great while, I'll be
19:41
tempted to like stay in the gym a little longer than I need to
19:45
be because every time I go to the gym, I've got my
19:47
spreadsheet. I know these are the four
19:49
exercises that I'm doing. I'm going to do this in this
19:50
order and I'm doing X number of sets, X number of weights.
19:53
It's very easy. It's just autopilot.
19:55
I just follow a spreadsheet. I've done it for years.
19:57
It works. But sometimes I'm like, oh,
20:00
maybe I'll like I'll use this piece of equipment because it's
20:02
kind of, it's right beside this hot guy and I want to go check
20:05
him out or like, oh, I'm done all my exercises, but like, oh,
20:08
maybe I'll do like one more exercise.
20:09
I don't need to. And it's like out of bound.
20:11
It's not in the schedule, but like just to like check out this
20:14
guy or just the whatever. And then in my head, I'll be
20:18
asking myself, are you going to go up to him and talk to him?
20:21
Like, are you going to fuck him? Is he going to fuck you?
20:23
I'm asking this to myself. And the answer is always no.
20:26
And then I stop caring. I stop giving a fuck and I just
20:30
leave or I just go continue on my schedule.
20:33
It happens more than you think. So yeah, I just don't, I don't
20:38
give AI, don't give a fuck as much, nowhere near as much as
20:41
when I was younger. You know, when you're younger,
20:43
when you're in like your early 20s or something, or even in
20:47
your in your teen years, I tried so hard to be cool and fit in
20:54
and impress other people. I mean, now at my age, I've gone
21:00
slightly wiser, have a little bit more life experience and I
21:03
just care so much less about impressing other people.
21:11
You know, I kind of, I'm almost swinging the light the other way
21:15
because here in LA, as you can imagine, there's like a big car
21:18
culture, right? You know, like everyone had
21:20
drives. And I'm a car person.
21:21
Like, I'm a car enthusiast. I appreciate cars.
21:23
I love driving cars. Like you can kind of tell when
21:26
someone has like a fancy car just to show like a poser car,
21:31
you know what I mean? Like they revved their engines
21:33
and it's like bright orange. And it's like, yeah, I guess you
21:36
needed some amount of money to buy it or you're just drowning
21:38
in debt. Who can say that that I don't, I
21:41
don't. That is like a turn off for me.
21:44
I'd much rather you just have like a very regular car if
21:48
you're not a car, if if you are a car person.
21:51
I don't know, like car enthusiasts.
21:53
I know they're not the type to drive like the fancy showy cars
21:57
and like ref their engine. People that are actually into
22:00
cars and actually like cars, not just for image purposes.
22:05
I can tell. And this yeah, if if a guy I'd
22:08
be more impressed with a guy just drove like a Camry than a
22:13
guy that drives a Corvette. Like AI don't know a bright
22:16
yellow Corvette that's really loud.
22:19
It's a Corvette, a better car than like a Camry.
22:21
I guess in some ways you can say so.
22:23
But if some guy pulled up to our date in a Corvette and it was
22:27
like loud and chowdy, it was like revving his engine, I'd be
22:30
like, OK, this date is halfway in the dumpster before it even
22:34
started. I just don't like that.
22:37
It's never impressed me, a guy that has a lot of like branded
22:44
luxury goods that they're wearing, like he's wearing a
22:48
shirt that says like Gucci on the front in like big letter.
22:51
I don't, I don't even know if that exists or like something
22:54
that's like very clearly like branded like Chanel, Prada,
22:58
Gucci, Louis Vuitton. I don't like that stuff.
23:05
Like I don't like wearing branded stuff.
23:07
I don't like looking like a billboard.
23:10
I appreciate other people like it.
23:13
You do you, but that doesn't impress me.
23:17
And I it's the same thing as like with the car thing.
23:21
I that makes me less attracted to someone like, Oh, else, if
23:25
you give me two guys that you know, they're kind of I'm
23:29
equally attracted to them, but one of them is wearing a bunch
23:31
of Louis Vuitton. That's very obvious.
23:33
And the other one just wearing like plain non branded stuff.
23:36
I'm going to I'm not going to like the guy that's slathered in
23:39
Louis Vuitton logos. I should like Louis Vuitton, to
23:43
be honest, but I don't I don't like it when someone looks like
23:48
they are trying to impress everyone with what they're
23:51
wearing or what they're driving. Does that make sense?
23:55
So it's nice. I can appreciate like high
23:58
quality goods like I, I have, I still have, I still have that
24:03
Louis Vuitton wallet from like ages ago.
24:06
I think I mentioned this pair of Louis Vuitton sneakers that I
24:10
love. They recently broke because I've
24:12
had those sneakers so long. I wore them out to dinner just
24:16
with David. It was at night time so no one
24:18
can see it, but like it was to celebrate like me launching the
24:21
two businesses and like I had some credit on my own credit
24:23
card. So like me and David, we just
24:24
walked down to like a place in West Hollywood, just have
24:26
dinner, not fancy thing. And I wore, I was like, oh, I
24:30
wear these like Louis Vuitton sneakers just because for me it
24:33
was like a little bit of special occasion.
24:34
It's a little bit celebratory. And I never wear these.
24:37
It was just, I just felt like wearing it and it was dark, so
24:41
no, I could really see them. But these Louis Vuitton
24:43
sneakers, they are so old. They're 25 years old.
24:48
They're 25 years old. I can't even tell you.
24:51
Anyways, they're so old and I wear them so little.
24:55
I've worn them like 10 times in 25 years because I'm just afraid
24:59
to scuff them that, you know, like the sole, like the bottom
25:03
rubber part of a shoe. It cracked in half on both of
25:06
those Louis Vuitton sneakers because the rubber is so old.
25:10
They've heartened 25 year old sneakers.
25:13
So they broke it now and I can't wear them anymore.
25:16
I mean, it's I wasn't heartbroken about them, but also
25:20
one reason why I can't have nice things is really nice things
25:22
take more maintenance even when you're not using them.
25:25
And I just am not that type of person.
25:27
So I do like I can appreciate high quality things.
25:32
I don't think stuff like Louis Vuitton and Prada stuff, it's
25:37
there just for people to show it off.
25:39
Like my mom, for example, has a Louis Vuitton wallet, but she's
25:44
had it for decades, decades. Like she's had it for so long.
25:50
I think my dad got it for her like maybe before I was born
25:54
right around the same time, like many decades.
25:57
And when it's like someone like my mom that has like, you know,
26:03
a Louis Vuitton and it and it, it's just a regular, that brown
26:06
classic Louis Vuitton monogram. It's not, you know, it's just a
26:10
classic style. But you she that's like her big
26:13
wallet that she has and she just uses like a normal wallet.
26:18
She's not there to like show it off.
26:20
And someone, someone like someone who's a little older,
26:23
like someone that's of her generation, that's, you know,
26:26
that generation isn't about showing off.
26:28
It's not like millennials nowadays.
26:30
Yeah, but she still has it and it still works.
26:33
One time, the little snap on the whatever broke and she took it
26:37
back to Louis Vuitton. They just replaced it.
26:38
It was just like a leather. It's just a high quality leather
26:40
good. So I can appreciate, you know,
26:42
like these companies, the luxury goods companies making something
26:47
high quality and then people using it because it's like good
26:50
quality. But I don't like this thing of
26:52
like, oh, I'm going to get this Prada.
26:53
I think this is Prada like and it's got the Prada logo and like
26:58
it's for me, that's kind of like, it's kind of icky and
27:01
gross. It's like an icky and gross.
27:02
I can appreciate a nice car. You know, sometimes I, I had a
27:06
Beamer, you know, beamers are a little bit of like a showy car
27:10
in LA, though, I feel like there's so many beamers.
27:12
It's not really showy. But you know, I bought that
27:14
previous Beamer. Well, at least that I got rid of
27:16
it, but at least that car because it was like the I4, it
27:19
was like the electric. I'm into cars.
27:22
I've had, I have an affinity for Beamers and yeah, it, it was the
27:26
car that I wanted for myself. It was like plain white.
27:30
It was like the base model. It was didn't have like the
27:32
sport package. It wasn't like it just blend it.
27:35
It kind of just looked like every other Beamer that you
27:37
would get in in LA, like a white base model Beamer is like it.
27:41
I see more Beamers like that than Civics and Corollas, to be
27:46
really honest, at least in West Hollywood anyways.
27:48
And I but I didn't get it to be like showy or whatever.
27:50
The previous car I had to have the Mercedes was like a little
27:52
showy, had a very loud exhaust. So, but like, yeah, over the
27:55
years, I just don't care about putting an effort to impress
27:58
people that I don't know. And it's a lot of effort.
28:03
Like nowadays I have better ways to spend my time and money and
28:08
effort to yeah than that, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm running
28:13
business because I'm really busy.
28:15
But even for my friends, but I want to hang out with my
28:16
friends. Yeah, I'll fix my hair because
28:19
that's something I would rather look.
28:21
I would rather look good for people that are my friends,
28:25
people that I actually know, then random guys to the gym that
28:30
we've never talked, we never even said hi.
28:32
We don't know each other. We just go to the same gym.
28:34
Like what's the point of spending an extra 20 minutes
28:39
fixing my hair? Making sure like, you know,
28:41
putting on like putting on makeup or whatever, like wearing
28:45
a nicer shirt, putting on somebody spray, which I would
28:47
never wear a body spray to a gym anyways.
28:50
Putting my contacts so I can see them.
28:51
Like it's not, it's not a thing. So I mean, but there are a lot
28:55
of people out there. I will say, I'm not saying if if
28:58
you do that, you're a bad person.
29:01
Everybody has their, everybody gets to choose how they spend
29:08
their time and money and energy, right?
29:10
Some people love to buy clothes. I don't see the point in buying
29:15
clothes like I have. I have a pretty full closet
29:18
anyways. I don't wear half the shirts in
29:19
my closet. Honestly, half my closet was
29:22
free anyways. But you get to decide how you
29:25
want to spend your resources, your time, your money, your
29:30
energy. I'm in the somewhat fortunate
29:32
position that no one asks me to like, go to a wedding or go to a
29:38
baby shower. I don't really have friends like
29:39
that and I don't really have to turn those things down, but like
29:43
I can appreciate where if I did have a lot of friends that were
29:48
having a lot of kids, I would be turning them down left and
29:52
right. But they would probably already
29:53
know I'm not a babies person. They probably wouldn't invite me
29:57
in the 1st place. I'm not on the in fight list.
30:00
I'm totally OK with that. It's a two way St. though.
30:03
Like it's, it's definitely like a two way St.
30:05
Yeah. But I'm, I'm, I'm, I don't, I'm
30:09
fine with people that want to spend time and money buying
30:13
clothes and buying nice things and being showy is like, you can
30:15
do that all day. It's your life, do what you
30:17
want. But the people that do that,
30:21
like they just don't impress me. And I'm, I'm just over trying to
30:25
like impress random strangers. And yeah.
30:29
So there you go. Has this been helpful?
30:31
I mean, if for no other reason you've gone to watch me, You
30:34
guys always comment when I do shirtless versions of the video
30:39
podcast episodes, but I don't think it's like very flattering
30:42
lighting. I can't.
30:44
I'm not wearing contacts so I can't see the little screen on
30:47
the camera if I actually even look decent right now.
30:49
It just happens to be a slightly warmer day today and that's why
30:52
I'm shirtless. Well, there you go.
30:54
Hope you enjoyed this episode. We'll be back next week for
30:56
another episode. Until then, bye y'all.
