Hey, welcome to another exciting episode of Two Shot Tuesday.
0:11
Hardly feels like 7 days past Barry.
0:14
It feels more like 2 days have passed, maybe 3.
0:17
That's just how good it is when we get together.
0:19
Yeah, three at the most. At the absolute most, in fact,
0:23
let's just come clean. We're recording this a few days
0:26
early, and this ties into something I wanted to touch on.
0:29
You're not aware that I wanted to touch on this.
0:30
It's because I think some of our listeners and viewers might be
0:35
suffer from the some of the same affliction is, shall we call it,
0:38
absolute terror of technology. And so we're getting ahead of
0:41
that. Barry, how would you describe
0:43
your absolute terror of technology?
0:46
Am I describing it correctly? I think you're using a little
0:49
bit of hyperbole. I'm not terrified of technology.
0:52
I embrace. It do you OK, Because I know we
0:55
wanted to get this in because there's a certain computer you'd
0:58
like to use, and this is the one that we're using.
1:01
And executive producer Linda Lebrun will be stepping away
1:04
with said computer, which would put you onto a different
1:07
technology. And that has caused some angst.
1:11
Let's let's dig deep into that. Yeah, it's true.
1:13
Well, when you have an older machine that's not being afraid
1:16
of technology, that's like not wanting to go back in time for
1:20
something that is much just sluggish.
1:22
It's not a good machine, you know.
1:24
I want to get deeper into this first though.
1:26
We have a format on the show and that is to do shot #1.
1:29
What have you got for us today? Well, I'm doing a sober show,
1:32
Jay, because I just finished, as you can tell from my sweaty
1:34
appearance. Pardon me.
1:36
I just finished a massive session with Andre.
1:39
Friend of the show. Friend of ours.
1:41
Yeah. So I'm keeping it clean with
1:43
just some nail gene water my friend.
1:45
Wonderful, what about you? In total support of you, I am
1:49
keeping it clean as well with water in a glass.
1:52
Classy. Cheers.
1:56
Let's dig into this technology a little bit because I think
1:59
that's really important for us. As you know, technology is
2:01
changing all around us. AI has become a fixture now in
2:06
our society. And so I want to hear your
2:09
story. So what kind of technologies are
2:11
we talking about? Is this like a Mac to PC?
2:13
What? What are you working with over
2:14
there? It's a it's all PC, but it's
2:17
just an old machine, so that's why I don't want to use it, Jay.
2:20
And we used. To nor would I expect you to
2:22
just like use a machine from say 7 to 10 years ago.
2:25
You'd be like. I don't want to use that.
2:26
Was it that old? It's 7 to 10 years old, yeah.
2:29
What's he been doing around The Newsroom?
2:30
Well. That's what I'm saying.
2:31
It just is sitting dormant and then to plug it back in after
2:34
sitting around dormant is probably not the move.
2:37
I tried that last time and you may remember on a on a previous
2:40
episode and it was disastrous. Was that wasn't good the.
2:44
Infamous, we didn't get the sound in and yeah, OK, so now I
2:48
see. The bottom of the sea.
2:49
Yeah, now I see where this is coming from.
2:51
OK, Yeah. It's never does produce a bit of
2:54
anxiety. I wouldn't call it crushing
2:56
fear, but I would call it, I don't want to do that, you know
2:59
what I mean? So yeah, it's not like sound
3:02
planning. I just really.
3:04
Yeah, it's more sound planning on your part.
3:06
So we are coming a few days a little bit ahead of a Tuesday,
3:09
which is always exciting. It's exciting for a catch up to
3:12
host A2 Shot Tuesday not being recorded on a Tuesday, but of
3:15
course being released on a Tuesday.
3:17
So our audience is well receiving this right when they
3:20
should. Yep.
3:21
Hey Barry, anything that you wanted to talk about before we
3:24
dive into a heavy ripped from the headlines?
3:27
Yeah. So, well, we can do a progress
3:29
report on a little thing that we like to call around the two Shot
3:32
studios. Jack Summer #26 OK, how's it
3:36
going for you? I know where I'm at.
3:38
How you feeling about Jack Summer 26?
3:40
I'm wearing a thick sweater that should tell you right where I'm
3:43
at. I'm wearing a nice thick grandpa
3:45
laden sweaters. But that could just be it's
3:47
chilly in the mini mansion. It is chilly in the mini
3:50
mansion. Yeah, So.
3:51
So nowhere near as far along as you.
3:54
But your passion for the pump, shall we say?
3:57
Yes, far exceeds my own. I do my part to kind of keep
4:01
going and keep fit. But I would not, I would not
4:04
describe my passion as deep as yours.
4:07
What did you do today to help move you incrementally, further
4:11
perhaps and leaps and bounds towards Jack Summer?
4:13
And so, well, all of these are incremental gains when you stack
4:17
them up over years. But today was a little bit of
4:19
yoke training and that's this area right along here is the
4:22
yoke. So you, you want to get that a
4:24
little bit bigger. It makes T-shirts look better,
4:26
just makes every piece of clothing that you pop on look
4:29
better. Yeah, it's shoulders this area
4:32
that the the traps and the rear delts that is a particular focus
4:37
of mine for 26. Why?
4:38
What made you think of that? Is it just next on the agenda?
4:42
It's just, it's not just aesthetic, but it's also just
4:45
like, well, it's mostly aesthetic, but I was going.
4:47
To say in case you have to lift a horse or something.
4:50
How many fire? How many?
4:52
Yeah. What do they call those farmer
4:53
carries am I doing? Not that many.
4:55
But, you know, I do carry cases of beer home from the from the
4:58
LCBO, and that's 600 meters, Jay.
5:00
And I usually carry a 24, so I don't know how much that weighs,
5:04
but it's whatever I need to have a strong yoke.
5:06
Yeah, you do. You need a strong yoke.
5:09
So what are your you go to exercises to get that, to get
5:12
those traps where you want? To tonight we were doing some
5:15
shrugs. So you take a dumbbell in each
5:17
hand, a heavy dumbbell. You just, it's just a simple
5:19
movement up and down. You're not really doing anything
5:21
more than that Lateral raises, you know that one, the straight
5:24
arm out with a lighter weight of course.
5:26
And then some reverse kickbacks, which is you are bended forward.
5:30
You have a dumbbell in each hand and you just your arm like this
5:35
out that way. I can't see me.
5:38
But it's hard. It's hard to do this little
5:39
square that I have to show you anyway.
5:41
You're you're bent over and you're exactly and you're just,
5:46
it's more, it's kind of a tricep, but you're also hitting
5:47
the rear delt. And so that's all part of the
5:50
the yoke chain, as as Andre likes to call it.
5:53
There you go, there's the passion you've got for it.
5:55
Perfect. It's cool.
5:56
Nice. Yeah.
5:57
These are the things I never thought of when I was not in
5:59
shape. But when you, when you get to a
6:00
certain point, you're like, what else can I work on?
6:02
Because there's always things to work on.
6:04
As we have discussed many times on the show, there is no end to
6:07
it. There's no finish line.
6:09
The finish line is when you pass away.
6:11
That's when it's over. But until then, keep going.
6:13
I love it yeah, inspiration, okay.
6:16
I'm ready. I am looking forward to our
6:18
long-awaited, hotly anticipated coming sometime this summer.
6:22
We don't know when, but sometime this summer you, me and our
6:25
executive producers are going to be spending a day at a pool.
6:29
Okay, you seem very determined that that be the location.
6:33
Just us together is not enough. It has to be by a pool, it has
6:37
to be at a place, right. Perhaps my body image is not as
6:41
comfortable, but you are insisting on taking me out of a
6:44
comfort zone and putting me in an uncomfortable position.
6:47
That's. Fine, I'm not insisting.
6:49
I'm just. It might be insistent,
6:51
enthusiastically encouraging. That's insisting.
6:54
That's actually. When you can condense that, it
6:57
becomes insisting. And shit, well, you know, what
7:00
you wear to the pool is entirely up to you.
7:02
If you decide to wear the grandpa sweater, it's completely
7:04
that that's that's your call. You can do whatever you want.
7:08
It's not about nudity. It's about just enjoying the the
7:11
rays of as we know in this country, summer is so short,
7:15
Jay, and some of it really should be spent poolside anyway.
7:18
OK, yeah, let's move on with the.
7:21
The same sun, the rays reach you just about anywhere.
7:23
But that's fine. I hear you, I hear you on that.
7:26
We'll have plenty to discuss, perhaps on an upcoming episode.
7:29
Let's air our dirty laundry right in front of the audience.
7:32
It's wonderful, I love it. Our fans, Hey, why don't we do
7:35
shot #2 and then we've got some RIP from the headlines that we
7:37
need to get to that are begging us to get to.
7:40
So I know you're drinking, but why don't you let our fans know?
7:43
This is all about hydration after a serious workout.
7:46
Yeah, so the cold water from an LG bottle is what I'll be
7:50
sucking on right now. Jay, what about yourself?
7:53
Water from a glass. Keeping it classy.
7:55
Cheers. Cheers.
7:58
So you got some headlines. Yeah, you sent them over.
8:01
I have not looked at them yet. So I'm going to open my phone.
8:04
I'm going to go to my text based message app and I'm going to
8:07
open the one from you and I'm going to scroll back and I see a
8:10
few here. I'm going to scroll up and down.
8:12
I'm not even looking. And now I'm going to look.
8:13
I'm going to pick #3 Hey, Barry, Inside the world's best airport.
8:18
Yeah. Why does Changi keep winning?
8:21
Changi. Changi.
8:23
Yeah, in Singapore. In Singapore.
8:25
OK, Well, why does it keep winning, do you think?
8:28
Well, I did go a touch beyond the headline just to see a
8:31
picture of the interior. It looked like a crazy atrium
8:35
filled with lush plants. So it looked like something that
8:37
of a like a Jurassic Park exhibit.
8:41
Yeah, I see it there from just what you sent me.
8:42
So I will share that with anybody who's got YouTube.
8:44
You can have a look at it there. Yeah, it does.
8:47
This is like an outdoor adventure indoors.
8:49
And this is the airport in Singapore.
8:52
Yeah, pretty classy. And you were just in, you know,
8:55
developed Asia. Do they have anything like that
8:57
at the in Japan? No, I was at the older airport.
9:01
The neuron. Why am I forgetting it?
9:03
It starts with an N as opposed to Haneda.
9:06
Haneda is the newer airport. I was there last time.
9:08
Yeah, it's a fine airport, but you wouldn't get it confused
9:11
with anything other than what it is.
9:13
An airport. It's exactly how you would
9:15
imagine an airport. They all seem to have that exact
9:18
same feel no matter where you go, except apparently in
9:21
Shanghai. Yeah, it's not Shanghai that's
9:26
in China, but I hear you. It's.
9:28
Sorry, where is it? Where is this?
9:30
It's in Singapore. Singapore.
9:31
Sorry. Yeah.
9:32
Changji. Changji.
9:33
Is that what it's called? OK.
9:34
I think so. I think you're right there.
9:37
Sounds right. So how about you?
9:39
What would be your favorite? What's What's the one thing
9:41
missing from most airports that you would love to see?
9:44
I would like to see exactly what I saw in that picture, which is
9:47
some likes greenery versus just depressing fluorescent lighting
9:51
and sad looking shops and just people mostly like, I don't know
9:56
whether you noticed this, but a lot of airports are just filled
9:58
with people that are just they don't look very happy.
10:00
And maybe part of it is just because it's just like a not a
10:03
nice. It's like a like, it's like a
10:04
bus terminal. Nobody wants to hang out in the
10:06
bus terminal. It's, but in Singapore, look at
10:09
they actually made some kind of effort to, you know, have the
10:12
guests that are flying through to feel like, hey, this is kind
10:14
of kind of cool. And Singapore's they're big on
10:17
innovation. And they also built like this
10:19
crazy building that looks like a, it has like a plane on top of
10:22
it. It's wild.
10:23
Like they they're they're known for innovation.
10:25
And it's kind of like you've already arrived at your
10:27
destination by giving you that kind of thing.
10:29
It's like you're already there. Yeah, it's kind of cool.
10:33
I think I would like to see in an airport and maybe they have
10:35
it, this there is like other activities that are free of
10:38
charge, like some kind of big screen, you know, big
10:41
interactive screen where you can kind of play video games or like
10:44
even like, I don't know, ping pong tables.
10:46
Just like fun things you can do. Because it seems like when
10:49
you're at the airport, you're just sitting, you're waiting and
10:51
you're buying and it's overpriced.
10:53
No matter where you go, everything is overpriced.
10:55
Just feels you're getting ripped off and you're delayed.
10:58
So you're forced to be ripped off even more.
11:00
Even the lounges are demands. Yeah, lounges, they're kind of
11:04
you got your little buffet and like it's nice to kind of be
11:06
wait. But I'm with you.
11:07
The airport experience is not a great experience.
11:10
It's not. Maybe you and I should go to
11:12
Changi and we can compare. Like we'll just fly in.
11:15
Yep, walk among the trees and then fly back.
11:18
Fly home immediately. Yeah, yeah, totally.
11:20
What? Do you think?
11:21
It's not a bad idea. OK, well, did we get to the
11:24
bottom of that one? I think we did.
11:26
I think enough that we can move on, I think, to our next
11:29
headline. Anyone in particular if you say
11:31
I there's 1-2 and four rest available which is a 1/2 or 4.
11:35
How about 1-1? All right.
11:37
Let's do it, OK, Meet the 19 meter octopus that may have
11:41
prowled. Ancient seas.
11:43
Now this is kind of cool. Yeah, you.
11:45
Didn't go behind that beyond the headline on this one, I hope.
11:47
I didn't OK, because I think it all, it says it all in that in
11:50
the whatever the headline, it's not the tagline headline.
11:53
Headline ripped from the headlines.
11:55
That's the name of the segment. It says it says it all.
11:58
So he may have prowled the ancient seas.
12:00
This one in particular, I wonder.
12:01
Or perhaps this is the offspring of the lineage of this 19 meter
12:06
octopus. Well, I wonder if, like, this is
12:08
where the story of the Kraken came from, you know, so people
12:11
from back in the day, maybe there were because there wasn't.
12:14
I mean, mankind wasn't dominating the planet the way
12:17
they are today. And so there might have been
12:20
creatures that would have been able to grow to crazy sizes
12:24
undisturbed maybe, right? Could be.
12:26
Yeah, exactly. So maybe that's where that
12:28
legend came from. I wonder why he was just
12:30
discovered recently. Like we seem to have mapped a
12:33
bunch of the sea floor, like, yeah.
12:35
But I think those guys, like they're, they're known also to
12:38
be highly intelligent. Really.
12:39
Those. Yeah, the octopus.
12:41
And why did you say that? Well, I read another headline.
12:44
This is a separate thing, but they was somewhere in Asia.
12:47
They, they wanted, there was some outcry about having octopus
12:50
farming because they're thought of as intelligent creatures and
12:53
so they let people were saying you can't just keep them penned
12:56
up and then eat them so. But did they?
12:58
Is there anything that you've witnessed or read about like
13:00
specifically? I've never.
13:01
Actually seen one, thankfully. They're kind of creepy, but they
13:05
are cool as hell. Some of them can change color at
13:07
will. You know they can whatever.
13:09
They don't have any bones, right?
13:10
So they can get down and they can squeeze through little
13:13
openings and whatever. It's wild.
13:15
OK, so you haven't you're like personally haven't heard of
13:18
anything that would say they're intelligent.
13:20
I've witnessed it. I I've.
13:21
I've not witnessed. Math but I've they've operated a
13:24
complex farm equipment. OK, good.
13:27
You believe what you're reading. They've driven cars.
13:29
Yeah, they're they're great parallel parkers, That's one
13:32
thing. They would be, I think, because
13:34
they've got the 8 legs. So I think the sensing and then
13:37
they could spit ink at you. I think that's that's kind of
13:40
cool. It's a good disc that they got.
13:42
Yeah, which I think is nice, I think.
13:43
What about you? Have you ever had any up close
13:45
and personal experiences with the octopi?
13:47
I did not. But I will tell you one time,
13:49
similar experience, at least in my mind, as a youngster, I was
13:53
in Florida. I was probably 10 years old.
13:54
I was with my parents and I went into the ocean and I vividly
13:58
remember screaming jellyfish has got me, a jellyfish has got me,
14:01
a jellyfish has got me. And I went running, screaming
14:03
out of the water and it was a leaf.
14:06
There was a leaf on my leg, just a leaf, like one of those
14:09
floating leaf or or. Yeah.
14:11
So I remember my father. She just started to like, you
14:14
can be quiet now. Like, yeah, she was.
14:16
They rescued me from the leaf. But I was, I don't know why I
14:18
was so terrified. I was always very terrified of
14:21
these. I saw Jaws at a young age.
14:23
Yeah, and. You know, that ruined the ocean
14:26
for everybody. Like just hearing about Jaws,
14:28
just seeing the poster feels like I may not have even seen
14:30
the movie, but I saw the poster of that shark coming up and, and
14:34
she's on the paddle there. She's swimming, rather the woman
14:37
swimming, Yeah. Yeah, there is something scary
14:40
about not knowing what's underneath.
14:41
The water it really is to this day.
14:44
Could you even go into the ocean and swim without just thinking
14:47
about Jaws? I like to go into the ocean.
14:49
I don't swim in the ocean. I go about maybe waisted deep.
14:53
I just like to play in the surf, you know, I like to jump into
14:56
the into the waves, but I don't swim.
14:58
There's no going dunking my head under and working on the
15:01
backstroke. Now there's none of that.
15:03
Do you not like to swim? Do you not swim or?
15:06
I can swim. Yeah.
15:08
But it's not the same thing. I just don't like the salt
15:10
water. It's it's nice to to play around
15:12
in and you know, if I'm in the in the water, it's kind of like
15:16
fun just to sort of move with the waves.
15:18
But I don't like going out too far because I also think about
15:21
that something, something like grabbing onto your leg or
15:23
whatever, I don't know. It's creepy.
15:25
No, I'm with you. I have gone swimming, but I'm
15:27
like, you're always thinking about it.
15:29
Especially there have been times when I kind of gone swimming and
15:31
then like I'm like, oh, I'm out here by myself kind of away from
15:35
the pack and then you gotta make your way in.
15:37
Cuz yeah. Anything.
15:39
Even even in the lakes, I would think of Jaws being there, even
15:41
though I know it's completely impossible.
15:43
It's always up to you never know what's below there.
15:46
There's a lot below the surface. There is.
15:49
I think we're just, we're just scratching the surface of, of
15:52
this. I also remember being in like in
15:55
Mexico and like Cancun and stuff and when I was younger, like
15:58
going out of those really strong waves and they would come like
16:00
they would like pick you up and slam you down.
16:02
Like there were a few times I would be being slammed.
16:05
I don't think I would like that anymore.
16:06
I don't think I'm as bendy as I was.
16:08
And Yep, there's just, there's a certain, I think I'm just at
16:12
that age where I'm not so excited about like great, like
16:15
those crazy waves that sucked you back in when you're trying
16:17
to get out of the water. Yeah, the undertow, yeah.
16:19
What are you? What are your thoughts on that?
16:21
I'm with you. When I was in Florida in

February, there was a couple of times where like I got, I mean,
16:27
I was also consuming alcohol on the beach, right?
16:30
Which I highly recommend, by the way.
16:31
It's a lot of fun. It's makes the beach a lot more
16:33
enjoyable. But when you're going into the
16:35
water, even though I wasn't going out very far, you're kind
16:38
of farting around in the waves, but then you kind of turn your
16:41
back and then one hits you. And there was a couple of times
16:43
where I actually got bowled over and trying to get up when you're
16:47
like in a seated position, your ass is touching sand and you're
16:51
not deep, like you're not deep at all.
16:53
But then the, the waves just continue to roll on you.
16:55
It's like, and it hits you in the face and you're like, fuck,
16:59
you eventually get up. But it's, it's a little
17:02
embarrassing. And I'm like, I'm not small.
17:04
I'm like, you know, over 200 lbs.
17:05
But it, the wave doesn't, it didn't matter you you still get
17:08
thrown to the, to the ground with equal force.
17:11
So I was like, yeah, you can't mess around with Mother Ocean.
17:14
That's true. One time I remember being stuck
17:15
kind of in the middle and I wasn't far from the from the
17:18
bottom, but you couldn't see and I remember going, I don't know
17:21
which way to swim. I don't know which way up is.
17:23
And then I immediately put my foot down like the ground.
17:26
I was like, oh, OK, I'm that close.
17:28
I was for a second because I was floating.
17:29
I was like, which way is up? And then I discovered it.
17:33
Yeah, it can be deceiving, but in Fort Lauderdale, like the the
17:36
beach is like the it's not very deep.
17:38
Like, you can actually walk out of a fair distance without
17:41
feeling like you're going to get swept away.
17:44
Nice. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
17:46
That's great. All right.
17:47
Well, we've talked technology, we've talked airports, travel,
17:51
we've talked being on the beach, being in the water.
17:53
I think that's a complete show, isn't it?
17:54
Feels like a complete show. I don't think there's any
17:57
possible way we could shoehorn anything else in, and nor should
18:00
we because let's not be greedy. That is amazing, Jay.
18:03
Thank you for taking us on that journey and revealing something
18:05
embarrassing. That's good for you.
18:08
