- 1:35Speaker 3: Saint Christ was.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Bloting clear you went right in my her own business.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Oh sorry, you're on mute. You're on mute for that.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I thought you were not on mute. Uh. Anyways, we're back.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We're continuing. Houga houga, no idea, no idea. There was
- 1:58Speaker 1: called hohugah Uh okay, I'm gonna kick it off with again,
- 2:03Speaker 1: just sucking up to Ryan. Who's the most likable person?
- 2:06Speaker 1: You know? I would honestly say Ryan, I would say,
- 2:08Speaker 1: because who's the most likable person is like, you know,
- 2:11Speaker 1: I have friends where if somebody said, you know, like
- 2:15Speaker 1: I don't know, Eric's pretty likable, but I don't want
- 2:18Speaker 1: to give him that credit. Fuck Eric. But if somebody said,
- 2:21Speaker 1: like I really just don't like Ryan, I would think
- 2:23Speaker 1: that's odd, Like that's a red flag on that person.
- 2:26Speaker 1: If they just said spat with time with Ryan, I
- 2:29Speaker 1: genuinely just don't like him, I'd be like, all right,
- 2:31Speaker 1: there's something seriously wrong with you. And uh're out there.
- 2:34Speaker 1: They're out there And there's a Simpsons clip where Homer's
- 2:40Speaker 1: trying to help Ned Flanders and he calls some random
- 2:42Speaker 1: guy and the wife answers the phone and he says, honey,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Homer Simpson's on the phone, and the guy goes take
- 2:48Speaker 1: a message. He says ned Flanders is in trouble, and
- 2:51Speaker 1: then the guy jumps up and goes, ned Flanders is
- 2:54Speaker 1: in trouble. So I would be I would be the
- 2:56Speaker 1: Homer and Ryan would be the ned Flanders in that scenario.
- 3:00Speaker 3: I think we do neighbor.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Most likable person I know, I'd say Jen incredibly likable.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I hate her really, Mike Max's wife the instant?
- 3:19Speaker 2: Why wow?
- 3:19Speaker 1: Would I hate her?
- 3:20Speaker 3: What?
- 3:20Speaker 1: What on earth for that?
- 3:23Speaker 3: I feel like?
- 3:23Speaker 4: Also, Sean Connolly very very likable guy.
- 3:29Speaker 1: So that's true, But drunk Sean not so much.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Hey, we all have our super weaknesses when it comes
- 3:36Speaker 4: to that stuff.
- 3:36Speaker 3: So I get it.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Drunk Sean Connolly is a big chip on his shoulder.
- 3:40Speaker 4: That is okay, okay, well still, well, I've seen him
- 3:45Speaker 4: super likable.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Sober Sewan, there's nothing, There's nothing wrong. Well, I'm honestly,
- 3:49Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with him. Maybe his his love of
- 3:52Speaker 1: collecting sticks would be a little bit frustrating if he
- 3:55Speaker 1: were his roommate, for example, But Seawn in general, I
- 3:59Speaker 1: love Yeah, Sean is extremely likable. I mean, he's way
- 4:02Speaker 1: more likable than his brother, that's for sure. Okay, let's
- 4:08Speaker 1: move on to the next question. What would you like
- 4:10Speaker 1: to be better at? I would say not being fat
- 4:13Speaker 1: would be my answer. And we're being super transparent. This
- 4:18Speaker 1: is warm, cozy conversation. I like to be I think,
- 4:22Speaker 1: you know, some people think that I overshare on the podcast,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and I Shannon Shannone O'Leary sent that article about like
- 4:31Speaker 1: the benefit of oversharing. I just encourage all of my
- 4:35Speaker 1: friends to be more open and all the listeners to
- 4:37Speaker 1: be more open with each other. So I will share
- 4:40Speaker 1: with the podcast that I am on ozempic or I'm
- 4:43Speaker 1: not on Ozempa, I'm on something that's very similar to
- 4:46Speaker 1: ozempic called Zepbound. And so like, I was the fattest
- 4:51Speaker 1: I've ever been in my life and I just was
- 4:53Speaker 1: very unhappy with my body and was trying to lose weight.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And like I'm older now. Plus you just don't have
- 5:00Speaker 1: time to work out, I mean unless you're Joe. And like,
- 5:03Speaker 1: I don't know how Joe has hours and hours every
- 5:07Speaker 1: week to train for marathons, but I just don't. I like,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I don't have time to regularly work out like I
- 5:18Speaker 1: used to. So I went to my doctor and I said,
- 5:21Speaker 1: what about getting on a zepic or something, And she said, well,
- 5:23Speaker 1: let's try not to do that. Why don't you try cusemia.
- 5:27Speaker 1: So cusemia is this drug. It's two drugs combined into one,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and it's basically this like stop smoking drug that is
- 5:35Speaker 1: supposed to stop cravings in general, combined with combined with
- 5:39Speaker 1: basically like diet adderall because stimulants kill your appetite. Yes, So,
- 5:48Speaker 1: although I don't know Chris Farley did a lot of cocaine,
- 5:50Speaker 1: but anyways, so I did that for like three months
- 5:53Speaker 1: and I probably lost ten pounds. Okay, that's not really
- 5:57Speaker 1: that great to lose in three months. So and I
- 6:00Speaker 1: I did make changes, and the doctor was like, you know,
- 6:05Speaker 1: have you been have you been exercising? And I said, well,
- 6:07Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of time to exercise. And
- 6:09Speaker 1: also it's like the dead of winter, so I can't
- 6:13Speaker 1: you know, take my daughter for walks, for example. It's
- 6:15Speaker 1: something that I love to I love to do that.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You walk in the dead of winter? How do you
- 6:20Speaker 1: do that?
- 6:21Speaker 4: I this winter barely. I feel bad. It's been like
- 6:25Speaker 4: I could do it, like my my thing is always
- 6:30Speaker 4: up to like when it gets to like under like
- 6:33Speaker 4: twenty five and under, it's like, I know Joe runs
- 6:37Speaker 4: that stuff and whatever and props him for that.
- 6:39Speaker 3: I it's the wind is just so bad. It's so annoying. Yeah,
- 6:43Speaker 3: and it's like it's just burning as the sun's out.
- 6:45Speaker 4: It's helpful, but again I could totally see where like
- 6:48Speaker 4: it's a time thing too.
- 6:50Speaker 3: It's definitely a time.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Thing totally because you walk so so far. And credit
- 6:55Speaker 1: to Kevin, my brother in law. Kevin has lost the
- 6:57Speaker 1: same amount of weight as me. And it's not on
- 6:59Speaker 1: ozempic because done it the old fashion way. But I'm
- 7:02Speaker 1: kind of like with Kevin, he's like, I'm not going
- 7:04Speaker 1: to do ozempek. I'm just I'm just going to do
- 7:06Speaker 1: it the old fashion way. In my opinion, it's like
- 7:09Speaker 1: there's that story that fable or whatever where there's a
- 7:13Speaker 1: flood and it comes to the door and a boat
- 7:18Speaker 1: comes up and says to this old lady, do you
- 7:20Speaker 1: want us to rescue you? And she said, no, God's
- 7:22Speaker 1: going to save me. Flood gets higher, So sorry, sorry,
- 7:26Speaker 1: I messed it up already. Car comes to the door
- 7:28Speaker 1: and says, do you want to come with us? No,
- 7:30Speaker 1: God's going to save me. Flood gets higher. She goes
- 7:32Speaker 1: to the second floor of the house. A boat comes, says,
- 7:35Speaker 1: do you want us to rescue you? She says no,
- 7:36Speaker 1: God's going to save me. Flood gets higher. She's sitting
- 7:39Speaker 1: on the roof. A helicopter comes and says, do you
- 7:42Speaker 1: want us to rescue you? She said no, God's going
- 7:44Speaker 1: to save me. And then she drowns. And she goes
- 7:47Speaker 1: to heaven and she says, God, why did you not
- 7:49Speaker 1: save me? I believed in you? And God said, I
- 7:51Speaker 1: sent a car, I sent a boat, I sent a helicopter.
- 7:54Speaker 1: So I'm like, if science is giving us these things
- 7:57Speaker 1: to make it easier, why do it the old fashioned way?
- 7:59Speaker 1: But respect to Kevin for doing it the old fashioned way.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Hard thing, that's usually what the hard thing is.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's the question with ozempic like, you're just
- 8:09Speaker 1: gonna be on this for the rest of your life.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I mean, what's gonna happen here?
- 8:14Speaker 3: Changing the habits hard. It's fucking really hard.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Especially when I just don't I don't have time to
- 8:20Speaker 1: work out or like cook, you know, cooking and eating
- 8:23Speaker 1: healthy food. Is also challenging for me because I don't
- 8:26Speaker 1: have time for that and I'm traveling for work a lot,
- 8:30Speaker 1: you know. But anyways, like woe is me, world small violin.
- 8:33Speaker 1: So then I got to know a zempic or zet bound,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and zet bound just makes you not hungry, That's really
- 8:38Speaker 1: all it is. It's like having lap band surgery. You're
- 8:40Speaker 1: never hungry, and then when you are hungry and you eat,
- 8:43Speaker 1: you immediately get full and you can't over eat. You
- 8:47Speaker 1: can't overreat because if you over eat, you feel absolutely disgusting.
- 8:51Speaker 1: So I just am really not hungry, like I'll I
- 8:55Speaker 1: usually want to have two meals a day, and neither
- 8:58Speaker 1: of them are very big. And I've been trying. I've
- 9:00Speaker 1: been trying to work out more, and I've been trying
- 9:02Speaker 1: to eat healthy when I do eat, and as a
- 9:06Speaker 1: result of that, I lost twenty five more pounds. So
- 9:10Speaker 1: so I lost ten pounds on cusmia and twenty five
- 9:13Speaker 1: pounds on zep bound. And I started doing csemia in
- 9:18Speaker 1: like August maybe, Okay, so it's been how many months?
- 9:25Speaker 3: Is that?
- 9:25Speaker 1: Eight months? I lost thirty five pounds and it's the
- 9:30Speaker 1: other day, Wow, I have so my fat suit which
- 9:33Speaker 1: is by that I mean this. I have like eight
- 9:37Speaker 1: suits throughout the course of my life, like men's suits,
- 9:40Speaker 1: a blazer and pants, and only one of them fits me,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and it's it's Pep's wedding suit. Is the only suit
- 9:46Speaker 1: that fits me. So I recently Pep's wedding suit I
- 9:50Speaker 1: couldn't find and I was like, oh, it's probably dirty.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Maybe I took it to the dry cleaner. So I,
- 9:55Speaker 1: out of desperation, I just started trying on old suits
- 9:57Speaker 1: and then they actually fit me. Ryan went so nice, huge,
- 10:02Speaker 1: one huge, huge, one huge one.
- 10:04Speaker 4: It's a uh, it's a really it is a lot
- 10:08Speaker 4: of it is just is a mind thing.
- 10:10Speaker 3: A lot of it is that.
- 10:12Speaker 4: The one thing I did that I used to say
- 10:15Speaker 4: I did a lot and it's helpful to me is
- 10:18Speaker 4: I never drank water just like ever. I just never
- 10:21Speaker 4: did it, Like I just never like drank it regularly,
- 10:24Speaker 4: and so much of that just staying hydrated. I always
- 10:28Speaker 4: feel like has sinds a lot of hunger or like
- 10:34Speaker 4: I always fel like to me, it's much more visual.
- 10:35Speaker 4: If I see food there, I'm like, I'm gonna fucking
- 10:37Speaker 4: eat this. Like if it's candy around, I'm like I'm
- 10:39Speaker 4: gonna fucking eat this thing. It's just just not even
- 10:41Speaker 4: a question. So it's like removing yourself from it. But
- 10:44Speaker 4: like I think truly drinking the water like it's just
- 10:49Speaker 4: I found out to be the most helpful in terms
- 10:51Speaker 4: of that. And also it's very good for your It's
- 10:54Speaker 4: very water is very good for you.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Did you know that?
- 10:57Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. Think it's hilarious. It took thousands
- 10:59Speaker 1: of years for human beings to realize this finally. But
- 11:03Speaker 1: I'm always terrible at doing that. And you're supposed to
- 11:06Speaker 1: drink you know, like a gallon a day. I'm just
- 11:08Speaker 1: I'm just lazy, and I don't like it. I don't
- 11:10Speaker 1: like constantly drinking water. I don't like the drinking it
- 11:13Speaker 1: out of the containers or water bottles I have. I
- 11:15Speaker 1: think it's annoying.
- 11:16Speaker 3: So you got to find the right size one that's
- 11:18Speaker 3: you to do.
- 11:19Speaker 1: My opinion, I bought this gallon jug that has times
- 11:22Speaker 1: of day where you're supposed to be at, but I
- 11:25Speaker 1: just never follow it.
- 11:26Speaker 3: You gotta fucking have that thing around all day.
- 11:29Speaker 4: That's my thing with it is like I have like
- 11:31Speaker 4: I'll like do like the essential size bottles these fifty ounces,
- 11:34Speaker 4: because I'll do like two of these during the day.
- 11:36Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, I can refill it and be fine.
- 11:38Speaker 4: I can leave it near my desk at work or
- 11:40Speaker 4: do your desk at home, and it's fine. It's just
- 11:42Speaker 4: it's in my point of visions where I can drink it.
- 11:45Speaker 4: I just feel like, like the other smaller containers, you
- 11:48Speaker 4: got to refilm all the time, and it's just like
- 11:50Speaker 4: I would just forget that in my for me, I
- 11:53Speaker 4: would just forget it.
- 11:54Speaker 1: And you you credit to fucking Ryan. You lost almost
- 11:57Speaker 1: one hundred pounds. How much did you lose?
- 12:00Speaker 4: Oh yeah, a little yeah, almost like ninety yeah, a
- 12:03Speaker 4: little over ninety yeah.
- 12:04Speaker 1: And you did it. This is before ozempic. You did
- 12:06Speaker 1: it the old fashioned way. You did it by eating
- 12:09Speaker 1: healthy and walking. You hired a company to like coach
- 12:13Speaker 1: you through it, but which I think you need to
- 12:15Speaker 1: do at least that, But you did it.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Definitely interventional help. Yeah.
- 12:20Speaker 4: So I did a they're gone now New England fat loss,
- 12:22Speaker 4: but they had they went under.
- 12:26Speaker 3: They went under it for like a robo calling Instagram
- 12:28Speaker 3: or something. I think was really funny.
- 12:30Speaker 4: I'm not kidding you, but they were great, and Mike,
- 12:34Speaker 4: speaking of him, had done it first and he lost
- 12:36Speaker 4: like fifty pounds.
- 12:38Speaker 3: So the first they do.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Is that like you are like, give you these kind
- 12:40Speaker 4: of like you're on like some kind of hunger or suppressant. Definitely,
- 12:45Speaker 4: it's just the whole point of it is to reset
- 12:48Speaker 4: your metabolism because their mentality is you've destroyed it, which
- 12:51Speaker 4: is very true in my case.
- 12:55Speaker 3: So it's just core balance of it all.
- 12:57Speaker 1: But I think that you're you're I'm really good about
- 13:01Speaker 1: just not buying things, but if they're in the house,
- 13:04Speaker 1: like Shannon will buy a bag a giant bag of
- 13:06Speaker 1: potato chips, or a bottle of vodka or you know,
- 13:10Speaker 1: a thing of cadberry eggs, and if that's in my house,
- 13:14Speaker 1: I told Shannon, we can't be trusted with that. I
- 13:16Speaker 1: can't be trusted with vodka. I love vodka. It's all
- 13:19Speaker 1: I want to drink. It's like my favorite thing. I
- 13:21Speaker 1: can't I can't buy it. I can't be trusted with it.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Get it out of here. If there's Reese's peanut butter
- 13:25Speaker 1: cups in my house, do you have any idea how
- 13:27Speaker 1: long they're gonna last. They're gonna last maybe six hours
- 13:30Speaker 1: for a bag of Vereseus peanut butter cups. So the
- 13:33Speaker 1: solution is don't buy them.
- 13:35Speaker 4: I will like buy the met gas stations like six
- 13:38Speaker 4: candy bars and like you want to bag. I'm like,
- 13:40Speaker 4: this is not even making it out of my car.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just like, this is not happening. Yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Yeah, but okay, well so wait, we didn't I didn't
- 13:52Speaker 1: even ask you about the question. For you, what would
- 13:54Speaker 1: you like to be better at?
- 13:57Speaker 4: I think I'd be much better at confrontation, which is
- 14:01Speaker 4: I find to be very very hard.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Yeah. I always have found that to be very hard.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's I think personal life it's much
- 14:12Speaker 4: much harder.
- 14:14Speaker 1: And yeah, I agree, I agree. And for you that
- 14:23Speaker 1: that's true, I don't think. I think it's it's a
- 14:26Speaker 1: positive that you need to be more confident that you're
- 14:28Speaker 1: not confrontational. I mean, but I think that sometimes.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Like we don't.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I don't, I don't want I don't want to. I'm
- 14:35Speaker 1: not gonna go into the details. But you recently you
- 14:38Speaker 1: just flat out told me very calmly and politely and
- 14:42Speaker 1: succinct concisely, you were like, hey, you did this thing,
- 14:46Speaker 1: and I didn't. I didn't like that you did it,
- 14:48Speaker 1: and I was like, what was my reaction to hearing
- 14:51Speaker 1: that from you?
- 14:53Speaker 4: You were like, thanks for sharing this, thanks for telling
- 14:55Speaker 4: me that this, But this is my show and not yours.
- 14:58Speaker 4: It's not Ryan's advocate space. I'll do what I fucking want.
- 15:02Speaker 4: And if you ever do this again, you can go
- 15:03Speaker 4: fucking work somewhere else.
- 15:05Speaker 3: No.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, thank you so much
- 15:08Speaker 1: for coming to me with this, because I know it
- 15:10Speaker 1: takes a lot for you to do that. And if
- 15:12Speaker 1: you ever come to me and say, like, hey, this
- 15:14Speaker 1: bothers me that you did this, it's like, I love you, Ryan,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and I would never want to offend you, and I
- 15:21Speaker 1: would never be defensive just because of you and who
- 15:24Speaker 1: you are if you came to me and said this.
- 15:26Speaker 1: So I was really really happy that you did, and
- 15:29Speaker 1: I like effusively told you that.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, thank you, No, thank you, but don't
- 15:34Speaker 3: let it ever happen again.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Seriously. But uh, you know, it's hard. It's confrontation is hard,
- 15:39Speaker 1: and I think I'm confrontation is hard for me with
- 15:42Speaker 1: certain people, but then with others it's not hard at all.
- 15:46Speaker 1: So that's uh, maybe a problem for me, you know,
- 15:52Speaker 1: maybe I can be a little too confrontational for sure,
- 15:55Speaker 1: especially if I feel like like if I feel like
- 15:58Speaker 1: nothing's going to end our relationship, you know, if I
- 16:01Speaker 1: if I had a problem with my dad or uh,
- 16:05Speaker 1: you know, like I think maybe with Eric, for example,
- 16:08Speaker 1: there was a recent confrontation I had that I regretted
- 16:11Speaker 1: and I thought I was too confrontational, and I told
- 16:13Speaker 1: him that. But it's because, like I've been with friends
- 16:15Speaker 1: with Eric since I was five, like literally since I
- 16:18Speaker 1: was five, So I just don't I just kind of
- 16:20Speaker 1: view that with Eric, I can say or do whatever
- 16:23Speaker 1: I want, and you know, maybe that's not appropriate to
- 16:26Speaker 1: feel that way.
- 16:28Speaker 4: I think, especially where it's that close a relationships. Sometimes
- 16:32Speaker 4: you don't you don't realize if you're getting too close
- 16:36Speaker 4: to the electric fence, if you will, if you are
- 16:38Speaker 4: kind of crossing a line.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Yeah, And the people that you love and care about
- 16:41Speaker 1: the most, that you feel are like such a rock
- 16:44Speaker 1: in your life, you take you take advantage of them,
- 16:46Speaker 1: You take them for granted because you think, like, well,
- 16:49Speaker 1: they're not going to leave right good, But that's not
- 16:51Speaker 1: that's not cool. Attack that way, yeah, and make him
- 16:56Speaker 1: then they can prove Yeah, Okay, do you like to
- 17:00Speaker 1: buy and use second hand items. My answer is no,
- 17:03Speaker 1: I guarantee your answers.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Yes, any items use your secondhand.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Yes, I don't like buying used things at all.
- 17:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I have, depending what they are. Yes, I haven't
- 17:16Speaker 4: really no issue with it, like.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Clothes, a DVD, furniture, anything. If I can see. If
- 17:21Speaker 1: let's say I want to buy X versus sever special
- 17:24Speaker 1: Edition Director's Cut on Blu ray, it's it's on sale
- 17:30Speaker 1: for twenty five dollars, or you can buy a used copy.
- 17:34Speaker 3: You are getting robbed.
- 17:35Speaker 4: Everyone who's hearing that, if you're buying that, you are
- 17:37Speaker 4: being robbed.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Yeah, but I used copy is fifteen. I would just
- 17:40Speaker 1: pay for the twenty five dollars one.
- 17:45Speaker 4: We don't have time for my take on that. But
- 17:47Speaker 4: I would still buy the new one because it's mine.
- 17:51Speaker 4: But no, I would show that way about certain things.
- 17:54Speaker 4: But like I used to show that way about clothes.
- 17:57Speaker 4: But now I've boughten stuff off like Poshmark and stuff
- 18:00Speaker 4: like that.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I've bought like Wow, Ryan uses Poshmark. I've never pretty Poshmark.
- 18:05Speaker 4: That's damn yeah or eBay. So I've done a few
- 18:12Speaker 4: things there, but it's not like everything. But I have
- 18:15Speaker 4: no like I have no super issues with buying you stuff.
- 18:21Speaker 4: I'm way more of like it's a used like electronic
- 18:24Speaker 4: device or something like that, that's gonna be a little
- 18:26Speaker 4: bit more like, well, how many years around this thing?
- 18:28Speaker 4: This person get rid of this for a reason. Why
- 18:30Speaker 4: That's kind of my mentality.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Okay, so things that don't matter, That's what I'm worried about.
- 18:36Speaker 1: This one. I can just answer for us both real quick,
- 18:38Speaker 1: what actor our actress would play you in the movie
- 18:41Speaker 1: version of your life? We talked about this. For me,
- 18:43Speaker 1: it would be either Matt Damon or probably Joe Manjanello.
- 18:46Speaker 1: And for you, I'm thinking Josh Gad, Melissa McCarthy, maybe
- 18:52Speaker 1: Gabaret Citabe. Okay, so I would.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Pick for you.
- 18:56Speaker 1: But next one, I like those, yeah, okay, good. Are
- 19:00Speaker 1: there is there anything your parents didn't let you do
- 19:03Speaker 1: as a child that you would let your own children do?
- 19:05Speaker 1: I would say, have fun. I would say, there's like
- 19:08Speaker 1: an infinite list of things I would allow have pets,
- 19:12Speaker 1: have fun, enjoy life, have freedom. You know, I don't
- 19:23Speaker 1: I think that there's there was some question I'm trying
- 19:26Speaker 1: to find it in here. It was like, let me
- 19:32Speaker 1: see if I can find it. It was basically like,
- 19:35Speaker 1: is there something you were forced to do that are
- 19:38Speaker 1: like something like that? And I just thought, if what
- 19:45Speaker 1: is the best trait? No, I'm trying to find this. Okay, yeah, yeah,
- 19:50Speaker 1: here we go. Was there one rule in your house
- 19:52Speaker 1: growing up that was excessively strict? And this is sort
- 19:55Speaker 1: of a related question obviously to the topic, and I
- 19:58Speaker 1: would say, yes, if you don't want to go to church,
- 20:01Speaker 1: you're grounded for that weekend and the next weekend. And
- 20:05Speaker 1: do you know what, people don't love being forced to
- 20:09Speaker 1: do things. So being forced my entire life to go
- 20:13Speaker 1: to CCD. Because I already talked about in the last
- 20:16Speaker 1: episode how much I hated school, how about Catholic school?
- 20:20Speaker 1: When I don't mean literally Catholic school, I mean CCD,
- 20:23Speaker 1: which was your your second job. It's like you have
- 20:26Speaker 1: an office job in a cubicle and then you're working
- 20:28Speaker 1: at seven to eleven as a cashier at night. That's
- 20:30Speaker 1: what going to CCD is. And then being forced to
- 20:35Speaker 1: go to church every Sunday, I'd rather blow my brains
- 20:38Speaker 1: out and my parents look at so seriously, you had
- 20:41Speaker 1: to go to church no matter what every Sunday. If
- 20:45Speaker 1: you missed it it was a huge deal. You would
- 20:46Speaker 1: be grounded the entire next weekend. That is a surefire
- 20:50Speaker 1: away to make me hate hate Catholicism. And I wonder
- 20:56Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna have any
- 20:59Speaker 1: influence over seas. See with like religion, I'm not gonna
- 21:01Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make her be an atheist. I'm not
- 21:03Speaker 1: gonna just I'm not gonna talk about it. I mean,
- 21:05Speaker 1: she asked me questions, I'll answer on but I'm not
- 21:07Speaker 1: gonna make her go to church. I'm not going to
- 21:09Speaker 1: force her to do anything involving religion. Will that make
- 21:12Speaker 1: her religious? Because it's not like being shoved down her
- 21:16Speaker 1: throat forcefully like clockwork orange style, you know what I mean.
- 21:20Speaker 4: So if it came to like a natural way, like
- 21:22Speaker 4: she happened upon it, or like a friend introduced her
- 21:25Speaker 4: to it or something.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So so to answer it, to answer the
- 21:31Speaker 1: question to be probably going to church would be the biggest,
- 21:35Speaker 1: excessively strict thing and something that I would not do
- 21:39Speaker 1: to my own child. But what would be your answer
- 21:41Speaker 1: for those two questions?
- 21:43Speaker 3: Excessively strict rule?
- 21:45Speaker 1: I mean, I think our parents' generation were weirdly strict
- 21:48Speaker 1: about like my parents wouldn't let us watch the Simpsons for.
- 21:51Speaker 3: A while, and we didn't have cable.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Well, we didn't have cable either, Ryan until I was fourteen,
- 21:57Speaker 1: because they said cable was for spoiled kids and rich people.
- 22:05Speaker 4: The big thing was MTV. That was the one they
- 22:07Speaker 4: were like, that was the one they were against. And
- 22:11Speaker 4: also when we did get cable, our cable blocks would
- 22:14Speaker 4: show you the channel it was on, and if you
- 22:16Speaker 4: turned the cable off, the numbers stayed on there. So
- 22:19Speaker 4: if our parents ever came home, we would just frantically
- 22:21Speaker 4: turn the TV off and they'd say twenty eight, twenty eight.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I remember twenty eight. Yeah, MTV twenty.
- 22:28Speaker 3: So that was one.
- 22:30Speaker 4: But I think that was just more like that didn't
- 22:32Speaker 4: last very long, I think, especially because we just had
- 22:34Speaker 4: such a gap of not gap, but like it's four
- 22:38Speaker 4: kids over six six years, and I just think for
- 22:44Speaker 4: them to create one rule that was applied to all.
- 22:47Speaker 3: There was a lot of.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Church when you were younger, but it was never like
- 22:53Speaker 4: there's not even a question you were going I put
- 22:55Speaker 4: it that way. There was just not even like if
- 22:58Speaker 4: you refuse to go, God help you you exactly, But
- 23:02Speaker 4: there was never like it was ever outright, like if
- 23:05Speaker 4: you don't go to church. So I can't think of
- 23:09Speaker 4: a specific rule that was extremely tough. I think different
- 23:12Speaker 4: kids had different rules. That was another one too.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, different kids. Yeah, my sister's complained about
- 23:19Speaker 1: me all the time because I was the youngest, they
- 23:21Speaker 1: were a little lax with me, Like they were never
- 23:23Speaker 1: allowed to watch the Simpsons. But then when I was
- 23:25Speaker 1: their age, when they weren't allowed to watch the Simpsons,
- 23:27Speaker 1: I was allowed to watch the Simpsons. But that's probably
- 23:29Speaker 1: because like south Park existed, and you know it existed.
- 23:36Speaker 4: Our mom took me and Mark to see the south
- 23:40Speaker 4: Park movie and she went and saw something else. I
- 23:44Speaker 4: think it was General's daughter. And we went and saw
- 23:49Speaker 4: it and we got home and like remember Keellen Senta's
- 23:52Speaker 4: being like what there? She was like yeah, and she
- 23:56Speaker 4: do you know what it is? I know what it is.
- 23:58Speaker 3: And they were just like baffled, baffled that you did this.
- 24:03Speaker 1: You know what, Kelly and Sandy, mind your business. That's
- 24:05Speaker 1: what I would say to berge In Meghan. They'd be like,
- 24:07Speaker 1: I can't believe you're letting Tim do this. Mind your business.
- 24:10Speaker 4: You know you just told everybody. She had given up
- 24:12Speaker 4: by that point. She was like, hop out of energy.
- 24:14Speaker 4: You guys are dumb, you guys are cooked. This Kate
- 24:16Speaker 4: can't even sit still.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Right exactly exactly. Yeah, So yeah it.
- 24:23Speaker 3: Was a blast. So thank you mom.
- 24:24Speaker 1: If you're listening, she always listens, Text me really sexy.
- 24:34Speaker 1: My favorite joke that I ever made about Ryan's mom
- 24:37Speaker 1: was I said that so gang Grell was a vampire
- 24:43Speaker 1: wrestler in the ad in the Attitude era, it was
- 24:46Speaker 1: like late nineties, there was a WWE wrestler who was
- 24:49Speaker 1: allegedly a vampire and his theme song it began like
- 24:55Speaker 1: you just hear somebody go be ready, and then you
- 24:58Speaker 1: hear do do Do Do Do? And I said, Ryan,
- 25:02Speaker 1: what if you were hanging out with your mom you
- 25:04Speaker 1: heard Gangrel's theme start, then you looked and it was
- 25:07Speaker 1: her cell phone and she was like, oh, it's your dad,
- 25:10Speaker 1: and then she answers and goes hollo. And Ryan was like,
- 25:13Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what to do in that scenario.
- 25:16Speaker 4: I would think someone got her phone into the tour
- 25:19Speaker 4: or like she picked it and it was wise. Gangrel's
- 25:22Speaker 4: theme an available option on cell phone rings. Wlly, what
- 25:27Speaker 4: we're under pan flute is gangrel.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Yeah, pan flute, I remember that ring tone. I had
- 25:33Speaker 1: jazz on my like Nokia or T mobile device or
- 25:37Speaker 1: go doo doo doo doo doo do do do? Anyways,
- 25:42Speaker 1: can you name a good and bad thing about American
- 25:45Speaker 1: way of life? I would say my answer is the
- 25:48Speaker 1: same for both our independent streak and you can't tell
- 25:51Speaker 1: me what to do streak and you know, the government
- 25:56Speaker 1: doesn't have authority over me. I think that that is
- 25:58Speaker 1: that is a double edged sore. I think it is
- 26:01Speaker 1: very bad and very good at the same time. I
- 26:03Speaker 1: think COVID showed how bad it is for society in general.
- 26:08Speaker 1: But there are other times where, like you know, I
- 26:13Speaker 1: think protests are a good thing overall for America, even
- 26:18Speaker 1: if it's a protest I disagree with. But whenever a
- 26:23Speaker 1: president does something that we do not like, and I'm
- 26:27Speaker 1: not just talking about Trump, I mean, look at the
- 26:30Speaker 1: Tea Party protests. Like I think the Tea Party people
- 26:32Speaker 1: were morons, but I respect their right to protest, and
- 26:36Speaker 1: I think that's great that we live in a country
- 26:39Speaker 1: where you're allowed to criticize your government openly without fear
- 26:42Speaker 1: of repercussion. So I think it's both both a bad
- 26:45Speaker 1: and a good thing.
- 26:51Speaker 4: My I'm probably putting this way too simply, but I
- 26:56Speaker 4: feel like we because again I've only left the country
- 26:59Speaker 4: once before, our total obsession with image.
- 27:06Speaker 1: That's the world though.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Excuse me, well, oh shit, I was really doing good
- 27:11Speaker 4: with this.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm like negative. I'm in your debt by
- 27:14Speaker 1: two births, so that just brought you to one burth.
- 27:17Speaker 1: So you're not even at zero yet, you're at negative.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 27:23Speaker 4: I just it probably is. I just feel like truly
- 27:26Speaker 4: here because we have like to the point of like
- 27:31Speaker 4: insane amounts of plastic surgery, yes, completely like and like
- 27:37Speaker 4: that who's that dude who's like the assuming multi millionaire
- 27:43Speaker 4: billionaire guy who's trying to like reverse age himself where
- 27:46Speaker 4: he's getting like nutrient treatments and like, dude, like you,
- 27:54Speaker 4: and it's like the human body is meant to last longer. Sure, fine,
- 27:58Speaker 4: but like why do you need this to last longer?
- 28:02Speaker 4: And also like he was saying like on this that
- 28:05Speaker 4: he did like a health report of like his total
- 28:08Speaker 4: like BMI, etc. And it was like I think he
- 28:10Speaker 4: said it was like I'm actually five or six.
- 28:12Speaker 3: Years younger than I am. I'm like you're doing all
- 28:15Speaker 3: this for five or six years. Really, Like that's it.
- 28:19Speaker 4: I feel like we just have like this understandably because
- 28:23Speaker 4: I think a big part of the United States cultures.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Media of.
- 28:28Speaker 4: This obsession with looking a certain way, being a certain way,
- 28:32Speaker 4: and I feel like that's morphed us into this, Like
- 28:38Speaker 4: I don't know, you have to achieve a certain goal
- 28:41Speaker 4: and that goal is too like this, but is that
- 28:43Speaker 4: what you want? And is that even achievable because we're
- 28:46Speaker 4: all different looking people. And also you can't maintain that either.
- 28:51Speaker 4: That's another thing too, And it's like, I just feel
- 28:54Speaker 4: like it's this weird.
- 28:55Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 28:56Speaker 4: Again, I haven't let the country that often, so maybe
- 28:58Speaker 4: other countries have this and it's different. I feel like we,
- 29:01Speaker 4: truly hear, are obsessed with image to a point of
- 29:04Speaker 4: just no return.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's very true. So what's the good aspect
- 29:13Speaker 1: of one good and one bad.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Of American way of life? That's good? Fake you can
- 29:29Speaker 3: imagine just good.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Just to completely go against what I just was talking
- 29:32Speaker 4: about with a problem you you know, at the breaks
- 29:37Speaker 4: of life and also your opportunities and luck and away,
- 29:40Speaker 4: but you can succeed here. You can find success in
- 29:45Speaker 4: certain ways. You I feel like that there's avenues here
- 29:49Speaker 4: for that.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I agree with that, but I have to push back
- 29:54Speaker 1: because I really hate the like bootstraps argument where successful
- 30:00Speaker 1: people are successful because they wanted it more.
- 30:03Speaker 4: And I'm saying I think there's the opportunities are here
- 30:07Speaker 4: for it in like multiple like industry views and things
- 30:10Speaker 4: like that, then there would be in other places, like
- 30:12Speaker 4: we have the infrastructure to do that.
- 30:14Speaker 1: I feel, yeah, And I think that, you know, I
- 30:21Speaker 1: think that people. I think people are really more than ever.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I think that people are inherently flawed and awful, and
- 30:29Speaker 1: I think that the United States is flawed and awful.
- 30:32Speaker 1: But I do think the United States is the best
- 30:36Speaker 1: we've done so far. I think humanity is a very
- 30:39Speaker 1: low bar if you look at the history of the world,
- 30:42Speaker 1: and the United States drastically needs to improve, but it
- 30:47Speaker 1: really is kind of the best we have, which is sad.
- 30:52Speaker 4: I think a lot of it is opportunity breaks of life,
- 30:55Speaker 4: where like some people do try really hard and they
- 30:58Speaker 4: just never get through and it's just kind of what
- 31:00Speaker 4: it is. So there's just a lot of things like that,
- 31:04Speaker 4: especially like there's there's options here. I'll put it that way.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Yeah, this is these are this is gonna be a
- 31:12Speaker 1: rapid fire of three. We're gonna go boom boom boom.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Do you like talking to strangers? Do you like talking
- 31:18Speaker 1: to strangers on planes? I would say no, I actually
- 31:20Speaker 1: do enjoy talking to strangers a lot of the time.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Like uber drivers, I enjoy talking to a lot of
- 31:25Speaker 1: the time planes. I want to be left alone. That's
- 31:28Speaker 1: my quiet space where we're all just not talking and
- 31:32Speaker 1: we're alone. That's my opinion on planes. What do you think?
- 31:36Speaker 4: Eyes are on the ceiling, never getting up out of
- 31:39Speaker 4: the seat.
- 31:40Speaker 3: So I'm good, I will that's true.
- 31:42Speaker 1: You're terrified of flying, that's true.
- 31:43Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're good.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Is it okay to leave a tip when you receive
- 31:47Speaker 1: bad service? So this is how I handle tipping. If
- 31:50Speaker 1: somebody is fine, and I'm a very good tipper, and
- 31:54Speaker 1: I think that because here's how I view tipping. If somebody,
- 31:57Speaker 1: if I view somebody in life has it than me,
- 32:01Speaker 1: I'm gonna tip them. So like an uber driver a
- 32:06Speaker 1: waiter for the most part, I'm not saying every waiter,
- 32:09Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, I I have a pretty charmed,
- 32:14Speaker 1: lucky life, and if somebody is you know, carrying my
- 32:20Speaker 1: bags into a hotel. I'm really glad I'm not doing that.
- 32:24Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tip them really well. So this is
- 32:27Speaker 1: how I handle tipping. If somebody's fine, I give them
- 32:30Speaker 1: twenty percent. If they're If they're not bad but they're
- 32:33Speaker 1: not exceptional exceptional, I give them twenty percent. So pretty much,
- 32:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, like eighty percent of people get twenty percent.
- 32:40Speaker 1: If somebody sucks but is not offensive, I gave them,
- 32:45Speaker 1: I give them fifteen. If they're pretty bad but they
- 32:48Speaker 1: don't offend me, I give them fifteen. If somebody is
- 32:52Speaker 1: unbelievably great, I give them like thirty percent. And then
- 32:57Speaker 1: if somebody is so agreed once in a lifetime bad,
- 33:02Speaker 1: I will give them zero. I've done it maybe three
- 33:04Speaker 1: or four times in my entire life. There was one
- 33:07Speaker 1: time when I was a vegetarian and I got a
- 33:10Speaker 1: meat pizza at a sit down restaurant and I told
- 33:12Speaker 1: the waitress like, oh, I think you misheard me. I
- 33:15Speaker 1: didn't order this pizza because I'm a vegetarian. I wouldn't
- 33:18Speaker 1: get meat. And she said, that is what you ordered.
- 33:20Speaker 1: We're not giving you anything else, And I said, I said, okay, Okay,
- 33:26Speaker 1: that's fine. So I just didn't need it. And then
- 33:29Speaker 1: I like, on the receipt, I wrote zero, and I
- 33:32Speaker 1: wrote it, I like circled the zero four times and
- 33:35Speaker 1: I wrote terrible service underneath it. So if there's like
- 33:38Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime bad experience, then yes I
- 33:41Speaker 1: would give zero. Wow, what's your opinion?
- 33:44Speaker 3: Wow?
- 33:49Speaker 1: I will all.
- 33:50Speaker 4: I mean, I will just base to twenty percent, even
- 33:54Speaker 4: if it's bad number one. I'm bad at math number two.
- 33:58Speaker 4: I always feel like, am I going to be the
- 34:00Speaker 4: person who inspires this change? And this person he only
- 34:03Speaker 4: gave me fifteen percent? Fuck, It's just uh yeah, that's
- 34:10Speaker 4: just kind of how I do it.
- 34:11Speaker 3: But I will.
- 34:13Speaker 4: I will overtip on a lot more like I know
- 34:15Speaker 4: this is very stupid, but like I will all, especially
- 34:18Speaker 4: during like the pandemic, like like dunkin Donuts stuff like that,
- 34:24Speaker 4: I will always just like I was always overtipping them
- 34:27Speaker 4: because I like people were just still in mastros coming
- 34:31Speaker 4: to those places chaotically, and I'm just like, this is
- 34:34Speaker 4: just the worst job I can think of, where like
- 34:37Speaker 4: it's just an worst job, but like it's just NonStop.
- 34:39Speaker 4: So I always be like if I bought like one coffee,
- 34:41Speaker 4: Like on the app, I would give them like a
- 34:42Speaker 4: five dollar tip.
- 34:44Speaker 3: It's just kind of like.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Well, you you're I imagine you're egregiously crazy when it
- 34:48Speaker 1: comes to tipping. But another thing people hate now is
- 34:51Speaker 1: you know, you go to a coffee shop, you buy
- 34:52Speaker 1: a coffee, and it's like, do you want to tip
- 34:54Speaker 1: three dollars? And I'm not tipping at all. I just
- 34:56Speaker 1: got a coffee. Why am I gonna? Why are you
- 34:58Speaker 1: expecting me to tip them? You need to reframe that
- 35:01Speaker 1: because you need to understand it's not the cashier that
- 35:04Speaker 1: is being lazy and asking you to give them more
- 35:07Speaker 1: money for nothing, for just handing you a coffee. It's
- 35:10Speaker 1: the owner of that coffee shop is probably put them
- 35:13Speaker 1: on a pay structure where they rely on tips because
- 35:16Speaker 1: they can get away with doing that and pay them less.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and now a lot of.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Them, Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
- 35:24Speaker 4: No one thing is also is a lot of places
- 35:27Speaker 4: now collectively pool tips. So like, I've actually made it
- 35:30Speaker 4: a bigger point to not just carry more cash because
- 35:34Speaker 4: like somebody, if you like, if you do like card allotments,
- 35:37Speaker 4: like oh, I actually don't get these tips for like
- 35:39Speaker 4: a week or two and they're allotted with the entire team.
- 35:42Speaker 3: Like, you're not actually paying that person.
- 35:44Speaker 1: So well, you know, if I don't carry cash, I
- 35:48Speaker 1: think it's impractical. And if you rely on me paying
- 35:51Speaker 1: you cash, then you're at your shit out of luck,
- 35:53Speaker 1: unless I'm going to a hotel or something. But you know,
- 35:58Speaker 1: the like the the the business owner puts that tip
- 36:03Speaker 1: option on the register so he can pay his folks
- 36:08Speaker 1: less money. He pays them a lower salary. Oh, you're
- 36:12Speaker 1: on a tip structure. That's why that exists. Don't fault
- 36:14Speaker 1: them for that. It's not their fault. So and also
- 36:20Speaker 1: like if it's you know, if I go somewhere and
- 36:22Speaker 1: there's like a sixteen year old. I went to a
- 36:24Speaker 1: a ice cream place the other day. There's a sixteen
- 36:26Speaker 1: year old working at the register, and I was like, Okay,
- 36:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna give her a bigger tip because I just,
- 36:32Speaker 1: you know, like she's she's clearly just in high school
- 36:35Speaker 1: trying to make some money. Like I don't know, I
- 36:37Speaker 1: just I feel more empathy for her. Maybe I shouldn't, maybe, like,
- 36:41Speaker 1: you know, she's probably more privileged than if it was
- 36:44Speaker 1: an adult working at the ice cream place. But that's
- 36:46Speaker 1: just my emotions getting in the way and it's like, hey, honey,
- 36:49Speaker 1: what are you doing later? You know, like gave you
- 36:52Speaker 1: a big tip. Oh yeah, what is the least important
- 36:58Speaker 1: subject in school? Mother of God, that's a tough question.
- 37:02Speaker 1: All of them. Uh gym study hall? Like what the
- 37:08Speaker 1: fuck is study? That's like we're out of ideas. Let's
- 37:12Speaker 1: let's take a group of kids and put them in
- 37:14Speaker 1: a corner because I don't know what to do with
- 37:16Speaker 1: them in this moment. That study hallion religion was one
- 37:23Speaker 1: and actually that, to be fair, that was kind of
- 37:25Speaker 1: interesting because we didn't just study Catholicism. We studied like
- 37:29Speaker 1: Hinduism and Islam. Man there's a lot. There's a biology,
- 37:37Speaker 1: although you would imagine it's very helpful. I never used
- 37:42Speaker 1: biology at all in my life after high school. You know,
- 37:48Speaker 1: it's different for different people depending on their line of work, but.
- 37:52Speaker 3: I think it's the whole point.
- 37:53Speaker 4: It's meant to be like the Schmersborg and then like
- 37:55Speaker 4: you kind of focus on one thing. Number one for me,
- 37:59Speaker 4: especially that a that time was Jim just no interest,
- 38:03Speaker 4: no interest? Why And the people are like, well, you
- 38:04Speaker 4: don't play a sports. You have to take Jim, And
- 38:07Speaker 4: I was like I do go to work every day
- 38:08Speaker 4: after school, so like it's somewhat physical. But I get
- 38:11Speaker 4: why they're doing it for the health reasons. I totally
- 38:13Speaker 4: understand it. But I'm like, I have no interest in
- 38:15Speaker 4: this at all. None.
- 38:17Speaker 3: None.
- 38:18Speaker 4: I would say, you obviously need I just like I
- 38:20Speaker 4: mentioned earlier with the tipping, you definitely need math in life.
- 38:23Speaker 4: If eighteen year old Ryan was asked the question, I
- 38:25Speaker 4: would like, can we delete math from existence? I was
- 38:27Speaker 4: so mad at it, so terrible. Still am I hated
- 38:30Speaker 4: any math class. I dreaded, fucking dreaded in school but useless, Jim.
- 38:36Speaker 1: Might I was always I was an English major in
- 38:39Speaker 1: film major in college. I was good at math. I
- 38:42Speaker 1: got I did a bit better on my Math of
- 38:45Speaker 1: SATs than my English SATs. I always thought our language
- 38:49Speaker 1: or whatever it's called. I always liked math, especially algebra,
- 38:52Speaker 1: because I liked like algebra was this equals that? So
- 38:56Speaker 1: it was kind of like you reverse engineer how they
- 39:00Speaker 1: equal each other. I kind of like aspects of math.
- 39:03Speaker 1: But there's certain things like fucking sign co sign, you
- 39:08Speaker 1: know what are we doing? We all have calculators like
- 39:10Speaker 1: this is never gonna happen.
- 39:12Speaker 4: So yeah, and I think, especially as I got older
- 39:16Speaker 4: in school, even though like, of course you're still like
- 39:18Speaker 4: only like eighteen or whatever. Of seventeen or eighteen, I'm
- 39:21Speaker 4: just like, Okay, I know this is not going to
- 39:23Speaker 4: be it for me.
- 39:24Speaker 3: This is not going to be a career move for me,
- 39:26Speaker 3: is anything related to math.
- 39:27Speaker 4: So I just lost completely interested in doing it every
- 39:30Speaker 4: time as I get older, like in school, this is
- 39:32Speaker 4: just not going to be it for me.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Yeah, would you get a tattoo and what would it be?
- 39:41Speaker 1: Of My answer would be I would consider getting a tattoo.
- 39:44Speaker 1: I'm not totally against them. I think like our generation's
- 39:47Speaker 1: tattoo is not getting one because I feel like everyone
- 39:50Speaker 1: gets a fucking tattoo. So it used to be this bold,
- 39:53Speaker 1: you know, rebellious choice to get a tattoo. Now everyone
- 39:56Speaker 1: has one, so you're just kind of a sheep if
- 40:00Speaker 1: you get one, in my opinion. But I would consider
- 40:03Speaker 1: getting one for the right reason. But I don't know,
- 40:07Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't know what that would be.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Shannon doesn't really want me to get one. Shannon doesn't
- 40:13Speaker 1: have one. I don't have one. I'm not against them,
- 40:16Speaker 1: but I'm leaning no, but I would consider getting one.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 40:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I would definitely consider one myself. I would actually be,
- 40:24Speaker 4: if I was married, more into the ring tattoo than
- 40:28Speaker 4: I would be wearing the ring. I cannot stand jewelry.
- 40:32Speaker 1: I have no so I felt the same way Ryan.
- 40:34Speaker 1: But when it happens, you just eventually your brain changes
- 40:38Speaker 1: and you just don't even notice, Like I don't, I
- 40:41Speaker 1: don't take mine off you. I hated wearing rings. I've
- 40:44Speaker 1: never worn a ring and I don't even notice. It's
- 40:46Speaker 1: just a part.
- 40:48Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of body parts, we hate the fingers. I'm like,
- 40:51Speaker 4: it's just not gonna be whatever. But I wouldn't mind
- 40:54Speaker 4: that one. But I don't know what I would do.
- 40:56Speaker 4: It would have to be like, I don't know, like important,
- 41:01Speaker 4: but is it I don't know. I would be too indecisive. Yeah,
- 41:07Speaker 4: it's a papagino steak and cheese up. That's what I
- 41:09Speaker 4: would do. A beautiful rendition of one.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. Name a time you felt very proud
- 41:18Speaker 1: of yourself. I would say when when I got married,
- 41:23Speaker 1: Because I've told you I've really struggled to lose weight
- 41:25Speaker 1: in my adult life. When I got married, I really
- 41:27Speaker 1: wanted to be I wanted to look good for my wedding,
- 41:31Speaker 1: and Shannon, Shannon looked, oh, like, I'm not just saying
- 41:34Speaker 1: that she looks bad now, I'm not saying that, but
- 41:36Speaker 1: the pictures of Shannon at her wedding, Shannon was an
- 41:40Speaker 1: absolute ten. Like she did, she was dieting, she had
- 41:44Speaker 1: a personal trainer. She's putting so much effort in. So
- 41:47Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I need to lose weight for
- 41:49Speaker 1: this wedding. How do I do that? And I found
- 41:52Speaker 1: that the easiest way to lose weight was to not
- 41:55Speaker 1: work out at all and just not eat. So I
- 41:58Speaker 1: Shannon called it me be manner exic. So I had
- 42:02Speaker 1: never been below two hundred pounds since god, I don't
- 42:06Speaker 1: even know, maybe college. Since the beginning of college. I
- 42:12Speaker 1: had not been under two hundred pounds. And my goal
- 42:16Speaker 1: was to be under two hundred pounds for my wedding.
- 42:19Speaker 1: And I intensely dieted intensely. I would drink like do
- 42:23Speaker 1: you remember the what were they called Miller sixty four's.
- 42:28Speaker 1: It was a sixty four calorie beer that was lighter
- 42:31Speaker 1: than light beer.
- 42:32Speaker 3: YEP.
- 42:34Speaker 1: I was doing cauliflower pizza. I wouldn't eat carbs, I
- 42:37Speaker 1: only did cauliflower. I had just fruit smoothies. I would
- 42:40Speaker 1: just blend like kale, raspberries and water every day. And
- 42:46Speaker 1: the morning of my wedding, I stepped on the scale
- 42:48Speaker 1: and I was one ninety nine.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Wow.
- 42:50Speaker 1: So that I was very proud of myself for being
- 42:52Speaker 1: one ninety nine. What's the time that you were proud
- 42:56Speaker 1: of yourself? Huh Oh, I have a great next question
- 43:07Speaker 1: for you. This is gonna be.
- 43:10Speaker 3: Proud of myself. That's really hard. Proud of myself?
- 43:33Speaker 1: What about losing losing all that weight?
- 43:36Speaker 4: That was punishment? That was my theory, is this, this
- 43:40Speaker 4: is what you did to yourself, you have to fix it?
- 43:42Speaker 4: Or like also, hey, it's only gonna get worse.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Palace. So that was also not.
- 43:48Speaker 4: Listening to people for years and years, and that was
- 43:51Speaker 4: more I should say punishment, but more like what have
- 43:53Speaker 4: you been doing wrong?
- 43:57Speaker 3: I gotta, I gotta.
- 43:58Speaker 4: I got an unwarranted promotion and at my job, which
- 44:01Speaker 4: sounds very corny, but when it's partly like two or
- 44:06Speaker 4: three years ago, and my boss was like, we're just
- 44:09Speaker 4: going to throwers at you, and he was so nice
- 44:11Speaker 4: and so great about it, and he was like, you
- 44:13Speaker 4: really care about this job? And I was like, okay,
- 44:16Speaker 4: like what you can do can matter, and sometimes I
- 44:19Speaker 4: feel like, especially you and I both had worked in
- 44:23Speaker 4: similar jobs in the past and other jobs that were
- 44:25Speaker 4: related where you feel like it doesn't matter. And that
- 44:31Speaker 4: was just really amazing to hear, as corny as that sounds,
- 44:35Speaker 4: and it was just kind of like, well, if you
- 44:37Speaker 4: do care, you can get results, and not like fake caring,
- 44:42Speaker 4: where like I'm just doing this to achieve numbers, Like
- 44:44Speaker 4: because you care about the work you do, it can
- 44:46Speaker 4: render something positive for you.
- 44:47Speaker 3: You know.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I think that, and this is this is not just
- 44:51Speaker 1: sound insulting, but I think you and Andy have like
- 44:54Speaker 1: the slave mentality with work that I wish I had,
- 44:57Speaker 1: where you and Andy will just will just work like
- 45:01Speaker 1: if so if if it's your only opportunity and it's
- 45:03Speaker 1: a bad task and you have to work like all
- 45:07Speaker 1: these insane hours to do it, you will just do it.
- 45:10Speaker 1: And you'll be unhappy, but you'll be fine and you'll
- 45:13Speaker 1: just get it done and you won't complain. And I
- 45:15Speaker 1: think that's very rare. And uh, I don't have that.
- 45:18Speaker 1: I'm too sensitive and dramatic, and I'll be like, no,
- 45:22Speaker 1: I can't do this, this fuck this, I'm you know,
- 45:24Speaker 1: I quit blah blah blah, and I think you and
- 45:26Speaker 1: Andy will just think. I think really that comes from
- 45:30Speaker 1: perspective of you and Andy always worked really young, So
- 45:34Speaker 1: like Andy was at Target really young, you were at
- 45:37Speaker 1: Shaw's really young, right, And those are shitty ass fucking jobs.
- 45:42Speaker 1: So you know, if somebody is like Andy, you have
- 45:44Speaker 1: to accountant to this.
- 45:45Speaker 3: Now.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Andy's probably like, well, it's better than fucking being a
- 45:49Speaker 1: cashier at Target or stalking shelves and talking to stupid
- 45:53Speaker 1: people who are asking me questions.
- 45:55Speaker 4: Better than algebra two, That's what I would say, Thank god.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, right, okay, let me think what should I
- 46:04Speaker 1: ask next? We have limited time, Ryan tattoos?
- 46:09Speaker 3: Do we though? Do we? Though?
- 46:13Speaker 1: I had to go to sleep? Man? Uh?
- 46:21Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Would you enjoy sharing a meal with a clone of yourself?
- 46:36Speaker 3: No? No, no, no.
- 46:39Speaker 1: I would say no. As well, I've been.
- 46:42Speaker 4: Curious, would you hook up with yourself?
- 46:49Speaker 3: No? Really no?
- 46:54Speaker 4: That person answers, yes, what do you think about them?
- 46:58Speaker 1: I would rather hook up with myself than she dinner
- 47:00Speaker 1: with myself, that would be my answer.
- 47:02Speaker 3: Interesting.
- 47:03Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't really want to do either.
- 47:05Speaker 3: But that's a great save that for the couch. That's
- 47:08Speaker 3: a great one for the No.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Let's dive. Let's dive into that. Have you ever been
- 47:14Speaker 1: one or chosen for something despite thinking you had no chance? Oh?
- 47:19Speaker 1: And then I had another. I had a great one
- 47:21Speaker 1: that I forgot. But I'll ask you that. Actually, you know,
- 47:24Speaker 1: let's let's let's table that for a second. Have you
- 47:27Speaker 1: ever this is for Ryan, but i'll answer to have
- 47:29Speaker 1: you ever fall asleep during something important? Unintentionally?
- 47:35Speaker 4: We're gonna take this to a part three and we're
- 47:37Speaker 4: gonna call it.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Why When Ryan had sleep apnea before he lost weight,
- 47:45Speaker 1: he would fall asleep everything, everywhere. He fell asleep. Joshua
- 47:50Speaker 1: Tree in Somerville. He fell asleep standing up.
- 47:54Speaker 3: And this a couple days ago. I'm not kidding you.
- 47:57Speaker 1: You tell the story, Ryan, I won't tell it.
- 47:59Speaker 4: You tell Someone at a work was making a joke
- 48:01Speaker 4: about being kicked out of a bar and people had
- 48:03Speaker 4: been kicked out a bar before, and I was like.
- 48:04Speaker 3: I have and they were like really. I was like yeah,
- 48:07Speaker 3: I said. So.
- 48:08Speaker 4: We were at Joshua Tree and I was standing up
- 48:11Speaker 4: against the wall, but I was like falling asleep standing
- 48:14Speaker 4: up and the bounce I came over and he's like,
- 48:16Speaker 4: hey man, you're falling asleep. You gotta stay awake. And
- 48:18Speaker 4: then while he was talking to me, I like a
- 48:20Speaker 4: whoa clap and I was like, oh, sorry about that.
- 48:22Speaker 4: And then like the second he stopped talking, I just
- 48:24Speaker 4: fell back asleep and he got really mad. He's like
- 48:28Speaker 4: I just told He's like I just told you. I
- 48:30Speaker 4: just told you to stay awake and you fall asleep.
- 48:32Speaker 4: I'm like I'll leave, I'll go. Thanks, I gotta go.
- 48:35Speaker 4: And I was like can I pay I lose? I
- 48:37Speaker 4: was like, oh, I'm gonna pay for myself.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Just go. He was so mad. He was so mad
- 48:40Speaker 3: at me for.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Doing that free bar tab. That's great. Good for you.
- 48:44Speaker 4: I mean, that's why I kept it going. I did
- 48:46Speaker 4: it all the time. Important thing it was never at
- 48:56Speaker 4: It wasn't like family one family event, but.
- 48:59Speaker 3: It was not. It was like a outdoor cookout thing.
- 49:02Speaker 4: It was not like a yeah, but it wasn't like
- 49:06Speaker 4: it's like you're at.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Like the wedding.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Were people concerned for you.
- 49:09Speaker 4: My mother was like mad. She was like everyone can
- 49:12Speaker 4: see you. It's just like what are you doing? And
- 49:14Speaker 4: I was like I don't know.
- 49:16Speaker 1: Well, because they don't think it's because you have sleep
- 49:18Speaker 1: app but they think you're such a moron, you don't
- 49:20Speaker 1: know how to take care of yourself and like sleep
- 49:22Speaker 1: in appropriate hours. That's what people probably thought.
- 49:25Speaker 4: Pretty fair, I would say, no, it's what actually would
- 49:31Speaker 4: bother me. Was like when I would see like movies
- 49:34Speaker 4: I was dying to see, so like spoiler alert, I
- 49:37Speaker 4: saw The Departed and felt like the movies, you know,
- 49:42Speaker 4: tapping on three hours.
- 49:44Speaker 3: I fell asleep.
- 49:45Speaker 4: Maybe an hour and a half into it, and I
- 49:47Speaker 4: woke up literally maybe a minute before the elevator opens,
- 49:52Speaker 4: and they killed DiCaprio, and I was just like, oh,
- 49:58Speaker 4: then I'm not Kennie. This is I thought my head.
- 50:01Speaker 4: They must have found out he was like the bad
- 50:02Speaker 4: guy the whole time. That's why I thought in my
- 50:04Speaker 4: head like he was the villain. That's why they killed him. Yep,
- 50:07Speaker 4: you're right, but I was obviously not not at all.
- 50:10Speaker 4: But nothing ever really important it was, and then work
- 50:15Speaker 4: it would happen. The work one was just work ones,
- 50:18Speaker 4: I should say was just embarrassing. But I was at
- 50:22Speaker 4: that point in time there was just oh that if
- 50:25Speaker 4: I was My rule is if I was sitting down
- 50:27Speaker 4: for more than ten minutes, out cold at my desk.
- 50:29Speaker 4: That's why I just never sat down at the desk
- 50:31Speaker 4: after a while. Celebrity, Yes it was.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Yeah, did you get in trouble.
- 50:36Speaker 4: Oh no, they just made a joker, like they would
- 50:38Speaker 4: just scare me to wake me up and just do
- 50:39Speaker 4: shit to me.
- 50:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:41Speaker 1: Oh that's that's that's not good that.
- 50:43Speaker 4: They were like, come on, it was I'm like, they're right,
- 50:48Speaker 4: I shouldn't be doing this.
- 50:49Speaker 1: I was like, it's okay, someone drastically better or different
- 50:53Speaker 1: now that you lost weight and sleep without sleep happening.
- 50:58Speaker 4: Definitely drastic different because sleep. It's no, it's I mean,
- 51:07Speaker 4: it's definitely better. I feel like mentality is one thing
- 51:10Speaker 4: that's the Again we said earlier, this is the hard
- 51:12Speaker 4: thing to change. I feel like I still want to
- 51:15Speaker 4: like drive to BK and just murder the fucking menu.
- 51:18Speaker 4: But like you just realize, you learn you can't do that. Yeah,
- 51:23Speaker 4: but like the sleeping is fucking way better. It still
- 51:26Speaker 4: sucks that, like my brain is programmed to wake up
- 51:28Speaker 4: at fucking six thirty or six every morning, no matter what.
- 51:31Speaker 4: Like if I went to bed at three, I'd so
- 51:32Speaker 4: wake up at six. But like I used to not
- 51:35Speaker 4: be able to I was. It was not possible. I
- 51:37Speaker 4: could not sleep for more than in sparts three hours total.
- 51:41Speaker 3: It just was never possible. It never happened. I was.
- 51:44Speaker 4: It was like I would go to bed like week nights,
- 51:46Speaker 4: like two or three and be in and out of
- 51:50Speaker 4: sleep until whatever. And it was never fully actual sleep.
- 51:55Speaker 4: That's the whole issue of sleep ap me. As you're
- 51:56Speaker 4: your your body's.
- 51:57Speaker 1: Not letting you go to sleep, you never get right, yeah.
- 52:00Speaker 4: Exactly, So like it was just nothing good. So then
- 52:03Speaker 4: your body would just take the hits while it could.
- 52:05Speaker 4: So like if you were sitting down somewhere, restaurant anywhere,
- 52:10Speaker 4: it would just go out. And it's like movie theaters.
- 52:14Speaker 4: Of course they're air conditioned or they're heated, and they're dark,
- 52:18Speaker 4: so it's like, of course you're not going to make
- 52:19Speaker 4: it through this shit at all. And got to the
- 52:21Speaker 4: point where, like movies, it became like five minutes in
- 52:23Speaker 4: I was fucking out.
- 52:24Speaker 1: So so my answer for this question and the next
- 52:27Speaker 1: question is going to be related to the ladies. So
- 52:31Speaker 1: what was if you were falling asleep during something important.
- 52:33Speaker 1: There was a girl that I had gone on in
- 52:35Speaker 1: a couple of days with and I thought that she
- 52:37Speaker 1: was so hot, like like ten out of ten hot.
- 52:42Speaker 1: And we had kissed but not hooked up, and I
- 52:46Speaker 1: was like, would you want to come over? And she
- 52:49Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm working, but as soon as i'm done,
- 52:52Speaker 1: I will text you and I will come over and
- 52:55Speaker 1: like I'll stay over. And I was like, oh my god.
- 52:59Speaker 1: Oh seriously. I was like, oh my god. And for
- 53:04Speaker 1: whatever reason, I fell asleep and I woke up and
- 53:10Speaker 1: it was like six am, and I was like, I
- 53:13Speaker 1: was like, did I dream that? And she had texted
- 53:17Speaker 1: me like five times where are you? Like, hey, I
- 53:20Speaker 1: was gonna come over. Are you there? Where are you?
- 53:22Speaker 1: Wh aren't you answering? I was like, oh, I'm so stupid.
- 53:27Speaker 1: But then the next question is have you ever been
- 53:30Speaker 1: one or been have you ever won or been chosen
- 53:32Speaker 1: for something despite thinking you had no chance? And I
- 53:36Speaker 1: will tell you the story of that. So when I
- 53:38Speaker 1: was in freshman year of college, there was a girl
- 53:41Speaker 1: that lived in my dorm that was that we nicknamed
- 53:44Speaker 1: Sexy Colleen, Like all my guy friends called her sexy
- 53:48Speaker 1: Colleen because she was very, very hot, and I would
- 53:53Speaker 1: I didn't barely spoke to her. And freshman year and
- 53:57Speaker 1: this is also like freshman year. Tim was like Emo, Tim,
- 53:59Speaker 1: and you know he's eighteen. So there's one night we're
- 54:03Speaker 1: all drunk in the dorm and I didn't even hang
- 54:05Speaker 1: out with her, and then I ran into her in
- 54:08Speaker 1: the dorm and we were talking and she was like,
- 54:11Speaker 1: my boyfriend's a scumbag. He goes to Bentley Bentley kids
- 54:14Speaker 1: are scumbags, and he's older. He's like he's a senior.
- 54:17Speaker 1: And I thought, and I think he's cheating on me.
- 54:19Speaker 1: And I was like this all tracks. I mean, I
- 54:22Speaker 1: don't know him, but I'm sure if he's a senior
- 54:24Speaker 1: year he's twenty two year eighteen, that's like kind of
- 54:27Speaker 1: weird to think of now, but I'm sure he is
- 54:28Speaker 1: cheating on you at Bentley whatever. I'm sure he's a
- 54:30Speaker 1: douche because you're like a beautiful woman, and beautiful women
- 54:34Speaker 1: make these choices, especially when they're young. And I didn't
- 54:37Speaker 1: tell her that, but like, that's what I was thinking
- 54:38Speaker 1: in my head when I was just like listening to her.
- 54:41Speaker 1: I was just listening and being like, yeah, that sucks.
- 54:43Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Your boyfriend seems like not a good person.
- 54:45Speaker 1: And I told her, like, you're really beautiful and like
- 54:48Speaker 1: people would want to date you, and you don't need
- 54:51Speaker 1: to be with this guy, you know, Like I was
- 54:53Speaker 1: just telling her basic stuff. But she's an eighteen year
- 54:56Speaker 1: old girl, so like what does she know? And she
- 54:58Speaker 1: probably is a little self esteem or whatever fucked up reason.
- 55:01Speaker 1: And then I remember there, for whatever reason, in the
- 55:04Speaker 1: common room of my dorm, there was a piano and
- 55:07Speaker 1: she was like, we were talking, and we wandered into
- 55:09Speaker 1: the common room of my dorm. We sat at the
- 55:11Speaker 1: piano and she said, do you know how to play piano?
- 55:13Speaker 1: And I said, not at all. I know like two songs.
- 55:16Speaker 1: I know New England Telephone, you know classic shout out
- 55:20Speaker 1: New England Telephone that must have been like nineteen eighty nine,
- 55:24Speaker 1: and you know I could play like Marry at a
- 55:26Speaker 1: little lamb, stuff like that. So she said, oh, what's
- 55:28Speaker 1: thee I played New England Telephone. So I played New
- 55:30Speaker 1: England Telephone on the piano. I think I might have
- 55:32Speaker 1: played Ode to Joy because I know O to Joy too,
- 55:35Speaker 1: but that's it. That's all I know on piano. And
- 55:38Speaker 1: she was like, thanks for listening to me tonight, and
- 55:40Speaker 1: I said, oh, yeah, no problem, like anytime, And in
- 55:43Speaker 1: no part of my mind did I think, like anything
- 55:48Speaker 1: was going to happen with this girl because it's Sexy Colleen.
- 55:52Speaker 1: And then she just started making out with me. She
- 55:55Speaker 1: was like, thanks for listening to me tonight, and then
- 55:56Speaker 1: just leaned over started making out with me at the
- 55:58Speaker 1: piano and I was in the moment. I thought, what
- 56:01Speaker 1: is happening? What is happening? And my Colin came in
- 56:06Speaker 1: and saw us and he was like, oh, I'm gonna leave.
- 56:11Speaker 1: And then I remember so she was like, oh, do
- 56:13Speaker 1: you want to go back and sleep in my room?
- 56:15Speaker 3: And I was like, you know, yumped up on the piano.
- 56:18Speaker 3: That's where Colin says.
- 56:20Speaker 1: By the way, Indy Kelly knows Sexy Colleen because he
- 56:23Speaker 1: worked with her APWC. And I was She was like,
- 56:27Speaker 1: do you want to go back to my room? And
- 56:28Speaker 1: I was like, yes, yes, I would like to go
- 56:29Speaker 1: back to your room. And then I remember at one
- 56:31Speaker 1: point she said, why are you like you have this
- 56:34Speaker 1: weird smile on your face and I said, I'm just
- 56:37Speaker 1: so happy, Like that was literally my response, I'm just
- 56:39Speaker 1: so happy.
- 56:42Speaker 3: Wow.
- 56:43Speaker 1: So yeah, shout out sexy Colleen. And then I saw
- 56:45Speaker 1: her at the Celtics maybe like really four or five
- 56:49Speaker 1: years ago when I went to a game for season tickets,
- 56:53Speaker 1: she still looked great.
- 56:55Speaker 3: Did you say hello?
- 56:57Speaker 1: No? I didn't. So like Indy and I saw her
- 56:59Speaker 1: in Indian I I both know her. But I was like,
- 57:01Speaker 1: I haven't talked to her since I was twenty two
- 57:03Speaker 1: and I was probably thirty five, So I thought, I
- 57:06Speaker 1: don't I'm not gonna do this. But we saw it
- 57:08Speaker 1: from a distance. Bu bu buh okay? Oh wait did
- 57:19Speaker 1: you answer this? You didn't answer this?
- 57:22Speaker 3: What was the question?
- 57:24Speaker 1: It's what is something that you uh won or were
- 57:28Speaker 1: chosen for despite thinking you had no chance.
- 57:34Speaker 3: One or chosen no chance.
- 57:45Speaker 4: I can't only think of a no chance. I really
- 57:53Speaker 4: can't think of one.
- 57:54Speaker 1: That's like you've never had success in your unexpected success
- 57:58Speaker 1: in your life.
- 57:59Speaker 3: But it's the way it sounds.
- 58:00Speaker 4: It's like it's like you're like you like entered a
- 58:02Speaker 4: contest and surprise you want or something, or like you
- 58:04Speaker 4: won the lottery or necessarily. I shockingly got Presidents Club
- 58:12Speaker 4: in my company last year, which I was very surprised by.
- 58:15Speaker 1: And you didn't tell us. What the fuck? Ryan?
- 58:18Speaker 3: It was my vacation away from the world. That's when
- 58:20Speaker 3: I took it.
- 58:21Speaker 1: Where did that's when you went to where did you go?
- 58:23Speaker 1: I remember this island? Ye, yes you didn't. Why that's
- 58:29Speaker 1: why didn't see? This is like your modesty is annoying sometimes.
- 58:34Speaker 3: But it was a great time.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody, everybody loves Sorry, go ahead.
- 58:39Speaker 4: I said, I got engaged as a joke, imagine, and
- 58:42Speaker 4: I met the woman in my dreams.
- 58:44Speaker 3: No, Jesus, that was awful.
- 58:48Speaker 4: I was just we did not like our teamers only
- 58:51Speaker 4: have like performance KPIs that way, so like, hey people,
- 58:55Speaker 4: if from our team can go, and you're going.
- 58:58Speaker 3: I was like, okay, this is great. It was a
- 59:00Speaker 3: blast that you.
- 59:04Speaker 1: I'm I wish you would be more. I honestly I
- 59:08Speaker 1: would never say this about anybody else in my life.
- 59:10Speaker 1: I wish you would be more arrogant. I genuinely want
- 59:14Speaker 1: you to be more arrogant because you don't even acknowledge
- 59:17Speaker 1: your own success or pat yourself on the back like ever.
- 59:21Speaker 1: And you would never tell you would never tell us
- 59:23Speaker 1: the one Presidence Award or whatever. That's just dumb.
- 59:27Speaker 4: It's okay, you told me it's taught. It's podcast only.
- 59:32Speaker 4: That's all you want to hear from me When I
- 59:34Speaker 4: ask how you're doing, I texted you and you were awake.
- 59:37Speaker 4: What the fuck is this ship? I'm like, just seeing
- 59:39Speaker 4: how you're doing. Get on, get on, get on, get
- 59:43Speaker 4: on teams now.

- 59:51Speaker 1: I wanted to thank you for doing this. Thank you

- 1:00:08Speaker 1: What is your who? Good advice? My who? Good advice

- 1:00:15Speaker 1: with them by hooga on Amazon. Use our affiliate link.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: That's a joke. We don't have one, but uh it's
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: it's nice, it's nice. It's nice.
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: The way you said that, I believe different. I'm like,
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: this fucking guy is gonna be kidding me, Like, there's
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: no way. Now, Wow, who got advice? Uh, I'm gonna
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: do the same thing. But say Tim, find someone like Tim,
- 1:00:40Speaker 4: have a nice conversation with them.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: Well, thank you.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: There we go and then record them for eight years exactly.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: And you know, Shannon said to me, you know what,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: I really respect that you to your guy friends when
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: you end calls with them, you often say I love you,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: and I usually end calls of Ben saying like love you,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: and I'll say I love you too, and I do that,
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: like I really do, don't. I don't think there's a
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: problem with that. So, I mean, if Kevin's probably gonna
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: listen to this and be like completely disagree, but uh,
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: you know, I love you, Ryan, and I love having
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: these conversations with you, not even the podcast, like just
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the hooga conception of friendship I think is very fitting
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: for you and I and I think it's great having
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: these conversations with you. So thank you.
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: It is right back at you. Love you too. Man. Okay, well,
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: people are gonna hate this episode.
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: I can already tell it's gonna be lowest rated next
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: to adult animation.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Donate to the Patreon shout out to Vietnam?
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Did you talk about that on not anything else? Wait?
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: What? Oh? Oh that's another thing. So okay, I'll explain
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: this really quickly and then we should go because we're
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: at over an hour. So you know, every day I
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: get like maybe nineteen listens a day, and maybe if
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: there's an episode like one time for Broke Back Mountain,
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: we've got like one hundred listens in a day because
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: it was the anniversary of broke Back Mountain, and maybe
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: people searched it throughout the world and listened to it.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the most we've ever gotten.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: So for Desperado Part one, there were a thousand listens
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: and I show I took a video and I sent
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: it Haran. I go in. It said a thousand listens.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Then I click on it and it said like global
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: I don't remember how they described it, but it was
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: like global impact. So I clicked on it and it
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: said the United States was twenty percent of the listens.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: So I was like what. So I zoomed out and
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: it's sort of mustard. There's like light yellow. United States
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: was light yellow. And then in Asia, in the middle
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: of Asia, there was this like mustard yellow dot. So
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: I zoomed in and it was in Vietnam. And in
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Vietnam there were two I think it was Hanoi and
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: Ho Chi Minh if I'm correct, there were like dark
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: dark brown yellow and they were those two cities were
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: like eighty percent of the thousand listens. So I immediately
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: was concerned. This has got to be some sort of
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: a scam. I don't know how it would be a scam,
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: but it's there's no explanation to this. And I sent
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: it to Ryan and uh, yeah, I still don't know.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I still don't know how that happened.
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: Were people searching for the song? Is so?
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: I asked Chachibt, is this song or the movie impactful
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: in Vietnam? Is there any cultural tie to the term
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: desperado or the song or the movie? And Chatchibt said no,
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: not at all. So like people search for the song Desperado,
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: but why would it be in Hanoi? Why would it
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: not be in the United States? Like I don't get that.
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: I like I was because of Ben, That's what I
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: like the idea.
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: Yeah, Ben Ben's first appearance in twenty twenty six this
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: massive news in Vietnam.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's it's usually the other way around. Where
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: I had a very attractive Asian friend and she was like,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: so I'm on jay Date and I said, why are
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: you on Jay Date? You're not Jewish and she said, oh,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: Jewish guys love Asian girls. And I was like, okay,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Okay, but maybe maybe it's the
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: reverse is true too, that Asian guys love Jewish guys.
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. I don't know where I
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: brought this up. We just got to end this before
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: i'd say anything else.
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: That's fine. Thank you, Ryan, Thanks Tim. We'll talk to you.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Catch you on the hooga bag flip
