[00:00:00] Speaker A: Yeah. What's been happening, brother?
[00:00:02] Speaker B: Have you ever been paddle boarding?
[00:00:06] Speaker A: I've been paddle boarding once.
Once I did, I went. I went and.
[00:00:14] Speaker B: Go ahead.
[00:00:14] Speaker A: What's up?
[00:00:15] Speaker B: No, you, you finish.
[00:00:19] Speaker A: The girl's name was Dirty Kitty.
Kitty.
And
[00:00:27] Speaker B: your life was a cartoon.
It'
[00:00:33] Speaker A: that's not a real name, but that's what she goes by on her
[00:00:36] Speaker B: social media, even so.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: And we went to.
Went to this lake and found this little cove and we almost.
But she knew I was trying to be celibate.
And then once we get in the car, I brought it up and she was like, I was just trying to respect your wishes.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: Oh, you.
Don't you ever respect my wishes?
[00:01:03] Speaker A: So it was cool sitting down.
She had inflatable boards, but it's hard standing up.
[00:01:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
So I went for the first time on Monday.
I bought my board in January because they're very cheap in the winter.
And I just never got around to getting out there actually. But we were at the beach, so I took it out and it is my entire personality now.
This is, this is what I live for. This is all I've ever been and all I will ever be.
[00:01:37] Speaker A: I'm not gonna lie. My ex brother in law used to do paddle boarding and he made his income, if you will, training people how to paddleboard.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: That's genius.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: He was.
Well, he was 20 bucks an hour.
[00:01:57] Speaker B: Nice.
And.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: And he had a big ass suburban.
And sometimes he would only be teaching like a girl for an hour, which was basically his gas.
Not the best business plan.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: No. I think you could easily go 40 or 50.
[00:02:19] Speaker A: You could go 40.
You could go 40 and you could line up more than one.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah. A group.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, group raid. Do a group or do like, do it so that you're down there for three, four hours.
[00:02:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: You know?
[00:02:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:35] Speaker A: You have one after another.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah, that's not really great, now that you put it that way.
Yeah. So I, I was able to sit. Sitting was awesome.
It.
[00:02:47] Speaker A: Yeah, sitting is great.
[00:02:49] Speaker B: I mean, I'm just gliding across the water. I was in Dana Point harbor, so I'm just like going in and out of the little slips and just seeing like the boats and people hanging out on their boats and I'm waving to people and I'm just like, I'm having the best time, dude. I went down to a bridge and turned around at the bridge and can't stand on it. I can get to my feet, but when I stand up straight, I fall. So I'm still working on that. But like, man, that was just out there in the sun, on the water, just gliding across like I'm some kind of next step in evolution.
It really, it was just great, dude.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: All right, so I think standing is the key to the workout.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Yes. That's how you really engage the core. Like, my arms were worked out, but I could tell, like, I could tell, like it's not doing anything for my abs, but like people say that it's like a full body workout when you get standing up.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
But I did start the gym this week, so my chest and my arms are fucking sore.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: You doing military presses or anything like that?
[00:04:11] Speaker A: I go with number three's boyfriend. It just kind of started because I was like, dude, I need to get in the gym. And you get in the gym. I kept saying it and, and, and then all of a sudden like he woke up one morning and was like, hey, what'd he say? He said, you ready to rock this? And I'm like, yeah, whatever dude. Like, yeah.
And he was like, for reals? You ready to rock this? And I'm like, yeah, sure, sure.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: As soon as you tell me what we're talking about.
Yeah, are we gonna go kill a guy?
[00:04:44] Speaker A: Like, he was like, let's go work out. I was like, oh, that's what we're doing. Okay, so we went worked out and yeah, I'm just that like two days ago we did chest and my chest is still like sore. Like I got my, my friggin massage gun like ready for to. I'd like, it's not ready, but I'm charging it so it's ready.
Yeah, it's gonna take like it was a teemu by, so it's probably gonna take three days to charge.
[00:05:13] Speaker B: Yeah, man, that's.
I did. I used to do the circuit at Planet Fitness and I was only at Planet Fitness for the price.
I wasn't really afraid of dudes slamming their weights down on the ground or whatever you're not allowed to do there.
I have a story about that also, which is funny, but I used to do the circuit and they had like, they had the one where you like close your arms in from the outside and then the one where you hold them over your head and lift up the weight and that. Those two destroyed me, dude. It was something. But so me and two co workers, we were all members at Planet Fitness because it was right around the corner from our work and it was 10 bucks a month. So cool. You know, one of the guys was like an actual gym guy and then me and the other guy were shrimpy nerds who he was trying to mentor.
But we all. We all went to work out on our lunch break, and we came back to, like, a staff lunch that was going on.
And the one girl who. You know, real gym chick, like, it's her whole personality. Yeah, you know her.
So she asked like, oh, you guys were at the gym?
And.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, you know, we were over there. She was like, what were you at Planet Fitness? And I. And I. As a joke.
I was like, no, man. Like, why would we ever go to some place like that? She didn't understand I was joking.
So then I just let her tear into Planet Fitness for, like, three minutes. I just let her go. She was like, it's a gym for daisies, and everyone's all weak there, and they're fat, needing pizza.
And then. And then I was just like, actually, we were at Planet Fitness. And then she was maybe the most embarrassed I'd ever seen her.
It's pretty great.
[00:07:20] Speaker A: Wow. I've done Planet Fitness. I liked Planet Fitness because the one we went to had, like, boxing stuff.
So it had, like, had a bag. It had one of those, like, not dummies, but, like, it had a thing that was like an upside down L almost.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: So that you can do uppercuts and shit like that. So I like that. I've done Orange Theory.
That is just like.
Orange Theory to me is stupid, bro.
Like, I don't like having to be somewhere at a set time. Like, you got to pick your time.
That's what I work for.
I work on someone else's time. Now I'm gonna go to the gym, and I'd always get there, and I'm like, I'm not in a good mood. I'm not like, hey, what's up, man? Everybody's talking. I'm just kind of, like, in my zone.
And then, like, when I would work out, I would wear a golf towel over my face because a golf towel is pinched at the top. So, like, I'd wear it so I don't have to look at anybody.
And I'd wear it so that the stupid lady wouldn't come by and be like, hey, hey, Frederick. What do you.
What do you.
You know what I mean, dude? They come up and they want to talk to you.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Don't they have, like, a microphone?
[00:08:39] Speaker A: Yeah. What's your goal, Frederick? What's your goal? He's here for the reps. You know, it's like.
And I'm just like, dude, like, leave me the alone, bro.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: You know my cousin is all about it. I. I know I'm not going to get the number right, but she just celebrated, I want to say, like, 1500 visits or something.
Like, she's. She's into it for years now, and it just matches her personality. So, I mean, she's another.
Very similar to the other chick I was talking about. Like, the gym is her whole personality, and she's very outgoing with people and stuff. And it just, like, she just describes. She tried to get me to go to it when I lived in Oklahoma City, and. And I was just like, dude, everything you're describing sounds like hell.
I want nothing to do with that.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I went to California and.
And for, like, to get fitted for. For a wedding.
And he was like, hey, just do me a favor. Like, Sunday, you and your lady just join us at the gym.
Like, okay, I'll join you at the gym.
So we go to the gym. It's the same kind of thing. Like, they're like, hey, you're gonna spend three minutes on this. Then you guys are gonna alternate every 30 seconds. Then you're gonna move to the next set of workout equipment. Then you're moving the next set. And then on this one, we're having a competition, See who could row the most.
[00:10:07] Speaker B: Fuck off.
[00:10:08] Speaker A: And I'm just like, oh, my gosh, dude.
[00:10:11] Speaker B: It's like.
[00:10:12] Speaker A: And like, this dude, the dude I went with, had actually been working out for a couple months.
I killed his ass on the rower, dude.
I was like, yeah, dude. I was like, dude. I looked at him because it was a competition. You add them together to see what couple had the best, what pair had the best.
Dude had, like, 69 reps in our time. I had, like, 92.
[00:10:32] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: I'm like, come on, what are you coming here? Like, I thought we were going to win.
[00:10:38] Speaker B: You know what I mean?
[00:10:39] Speaker A: And then at the end of it, like, the very last set of, like, pairs of equipment, he was like, hey, man, I need to talk to you for a minute. So I'm like, all right. So we step outside. It was the last three minutes. He's like, all right, we're just going to walk around. And I was like, are we? Did we just, like, like, dip out? Like, we just. This is what we do when we're tired. We don't. We don't do the last set. We just walk around. He's like, well, I need to ask you, like, your girl cool. Like, she think, like, what she say anything about us? I was like, you could ask me this at some other time, but I Get it?
You don't want to be in there.
[00:11:18] Speaker B: That's crazy.
[00:11:21] Speaker A: Yeah. So I'm just using the gym at the apartments, man.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:11:23] Speaker A: Just doing my thing.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Do you. Are you ever alone out there, or is it kind of crowded?
[00:11:32] Speaker A: Well, we go and. Dude, it's. So today was a difficult one.
So today was arms, but the exercise itself didn't matter. But probably about a year and a half ago, you know, I was living my best life outside, cooking it up.
And one of the women in the complex, she just kept coming by, and I kept seeing her more and more and more, and she would engage.
And so then, like, one day, like, she came over and she was like, you know, I just wanted to, like, walk by and throw my number up on your balcony. But, like, I didn't. I didn't. I thought that was weird. So I figured I'd just come over and hand it to you. And I'm like, oh, cool, you know, why don't you come in? So she came in, we sat on the patio. We had a great conversation.
[00:12:21] Speaker B: You lock the door, and you start laughing.
I got him.
You up.
[00:12:30] Speaker A: I should have done that. And she came in, we started talking and stuff. And then, like, we probably talked for, like, a week. And then she was like, hey, like, this sounds weird, but you. You kind of caught me. She's like, I'm an introvert. You kind of caught me in one of my, like, extroverted moments. And, you know, like, I just want you to know, like, you know, I. I. You know, I might have put off something that I didn't. You know, I just kind of want to be friends. And I'm like, okay, you Googled me.
And so I was like, yeah, well, I was open about that from the very beginning. I was like, oh, you know, this is how it was. And so I was like, whatever, dude. It's cool.
But she honestly is.
She's probably a good six to eight years older than me, but she's beautiful, bro. Like, she is to me. She is just gorgeous.
And I saw her at the gym today, and me and him are in there, and, like, she comes up and she's like, hey, you. And she, like, you know, like, grab. She, like, grabbed my body somewhere. I forget where, but it was either my shoulder or my, like, midsection as she walked by. And then I'm like, cool.
[00:13:46] Speaker B: So.
[00:13:46] Speaker A: And then my next piece of equipment that I'm on is facing hers, and it's not a big gym. It's a fucking apartment gym. And she just looks at me and she's like, like, starts, like, laughing herself and I'm like, gosh, you're so beautiful, dude. Like, I close my eyes and the shitty part is like, our personalities clicked so well, you know? And I'm like, oh, like this bitch.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Well, I mean, yeah, not a bad one to have on the back burner.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: No, man, I'm not going older than me anymore, dude. If me and Miami don't make it that. Yeah, I'm going back to my young.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, we're going back to the 30 year olds, you know, something. 30, 29 again.
[00:14:33] Speaker B: Yeah. How old's number one?
[00:14:37] Speaker A: Number one's 27. So I got a five year rule. So she's probably got to be around 32.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: All right.
Yep.
Someone my age, but she's got to
[00:14:46] Speaker A: have some life experience. She gotta have some like, like, like life experience. I mean, she got at least have a kid in the bag or something. You know what I mean? Like, I gotta know that you weren't just like cruising in life thinking, I'm gonna buy you whatever you want. We're gonna do. No, no, no, no. You gotta have some kids. Yeah, I know. The heartache.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: You know?
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Yeah. It is crazy to see, like, I never go on Facebook, but sometimes someone will be like, oh, hey, I tagged you in something on Facebook. And then I open the app and I'll see chicks I knew a long time ago, like in youth group or something, and they're like my age, but they didn't get married or have a kid or anything.
Obviously I can't talk shit about still living with your parents, but, you know, that might be going on still. And it's like the. The things they post, like, immediately I can see just, just.
I don't know what it is. It's a vibe where it's like they're posting a picture of a joint and there's like an inspirational quote about how, like, no one's gonna judge me on my.
And I'm doing the, you know, and I'm winning this year. This is my year and stuff. And. And like everyone I know in the same category with like a kid or is married or anything, it's just so much more grounded.
And like, what they post sucks too, but like, in a different way, you know, Like, I don't know, it's just. It's funny how, like, you don't think you're gonna change when you get married or have a kid and then you just immediately lose respect for everyone who doesn't have a kid. It's crazy.
[00:16:30] Speaker A: You kind of do, bro. Dude, like, you know, first of all, welcome to Pseudonyms, everyone.
We're back. We're back. I know we were supposed to be back last time. Inconsistent. But dude, I still haven't got. Got last week's I.3 weeks ago.
[00:16:46] Speaker B: I know, dude, is my bad.
I'll work on it.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: What are you doing? It's not, it's not like you've got a job or anything.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: No, it's just like I. I can't really do it when the kid is awake because I'm either like busy with something or. Or if I get a minute, she's going to be like ripping cords out of my computer or something so like, I can't focus myself to do it. And then once she's asleep, it's like, ah, all right, me time. And then by the time like 10 o' clock rolls around, I'm like, ah, I gotta do some like, I gotta rate this thing. I gotta. Oh yeah, I gotta edit that podcast. And then it's like, it is 10 o' clock though. You know, it's. It's. It's piece of behavior and I'm sorry.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: Dude, you gotta get rid of the kid, bro.
[00:17:28] Speaker B: I know.
[00:17:29] Speaker A: It's.
Someone will take working out.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: She's so cute.
[00:17:33] Speaker A: Beautiful little girl, though. Bro, I thought you weren't gonna be posting pictures on. On social media without her consent.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: Those are just my close friends list.
[00:17:44] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So you could post on Instagram, not your story, but you could post a post for friends only. Yeah.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: And I can do stories for friends too.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: That I know. I didn't know you could post for friends only.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: Yeah. So anything, basically anything personal is close friends list.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: So I made the list.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: You did?
[00:18:11] Speaker A: I'd hope so. I hope so.
You know, I've been thinking.
I'm thinking I want to go through all the old wrestlers and see who's still on their last limb and add them to my celebrity death list.
[00:18:26] Speaker B: I've got some of those. I've got like three or four of the oldest wrestlers.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Do you really?
[00:18:34] Speaker B: Not on my list, but like on the master list.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: They really should be on my list because.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: Because they're fucked up.
[00:18:42] Speaker A: You know who thought Hulk Hogan would die? Yeah. I was watching the documentary the other night and I got an epiphany
[00:18:51] Speaker B: that they're fucked up in the head.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: Old wrestlers.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: Their brain is deteriorating.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: Right up there with old football players.
[00:18:59] Speaker B: I had the same thought and honestly, I got people on the list who are way older than holes Hogan.
It's Like, I didn't, I didn't think that guy was getting relatively young compared to some of the people I got on the list.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: 71.
Yeah, I would have scored some points.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Dude. I, I love the Norm MacDonald joke where he's like, oh my God, did you hear Steve Irwin, the, the Crocodile Hunter? He passed away. Oh my God, that's such a tragedy. How old was. He was 24, 25?
No, he was 42. Oh, well, that's a ripe old age for a crocodile hunter.
71. That's a ripe old age for a wrestler.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: Really is.
Back then they didn't, you know, they were roided up, so they got all the drugs pumping through them.
They got all the damage because they're constantly being thrown around.
Same with football players do. Before all these rules came in, you gotta be looking at old football players.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I should, I should do a Google, unlike oldest living football players and get like the top 10 on there.
That'd be good.
[00:20:19] Speaker A: It would. Especially if they're linemen or running backs. Whoo.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Hey, speaking of, can you resend me your last round of changes for your list? Because I lost them on my old phone.
[00:20:36] Speaker A: Oh my God. So I have people just floating around out there that don't need to be on my list.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: No, they're, they, they, they'll count. Cuz you got the, the info to me in time, but I just haven't actually updated the spreadsheet.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: What do you, what do you do during the day?
[00:20:56] Speaker B: Text and send it to me? I'm not asking you to move furniture or anything like that.
What do I do all day? I sit with a toddler.
That's what I do.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: It's time stamped, just so you know.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: Good.
[00:21:16] Speaker A: It's April 30th. I sent you this little list. April 30th.
[00:21:20] Speaker B: All righty.
And by the way, if, if one of them had died, you'll get full points for that, cuz.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: Damn right I will. I already know that.
[00:21:30] Speaker B: Got it into me
[00:21:33] Speaker A: and I don't think any of them have died.
[00:21:35] Speaker B: Okay, thank you.
[00:21:37] Speaker A: Let's see, who do I. Who did I pick? I put.
Oh, I only seen you. Who I'm taking off.
Let's see.
Oh, that hurts.
Oh, this kid makes me do so much work.
So I'm taking off.
P. Diddy, b.b. netanyahu, and I think britney spears are the three. I took off.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: And then I'm putting on. I think I put on Ray J.
I don't know why, but sounded good at the time.
[00:22:37] Speaker B: I remember that. I remember Thinking, oh, is. Did something happen that I didn't hear about? Is he sick or something?
[00:22:45] Speaker A: I think he was sick. I think he has something.
I think he has a chronic disease.
[00:22:53] Speaker B: Armenian fever,
[00:22:56] Speaker A: something.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: Because the Kardashians in.
[00:23:04] Speaker A: Are they really?
[00:23:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I thought so.
Am I wrong? Am I lying?
[00:23:09] Speaker A: I don't know, dude. I. I don't. Okay. I'm not gonna lie. I thought Kim Kardashian when she was younger was a cutie.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: Absolutely.
Does anyone?
[00:23:22] Speaker A: But, like, everybody's like, no. Yeah. A lot of people at.
[00:23:26] Speaker B: Now, if you're starting to yuck anyone but Courtney, I would say, okay, yeah, they're starting to look a little busted. If you're talking shit on 2006, Kim Kardash. I mean, you're out of your fucking mind. I don't know what to do. Maybe you're gay.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: You know, like, dude, I don't know where it's at.
I thought I just had it and it said April 30th, but I went back to my April 30th, and it's not. Not there.
[00:24:02] Speaker B: Maybe when you forward it, it stops being in the place it was.
[00:24:07] Speaker A: I didn't forward it. I just screenshotted it.
Well, I believe you. I'll start over.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: Believe you?
[00:24:20] Speaker A: No. Oh, well, then I think I sent them back in January.
[00:24:30] Speaker B: All right. My dereliction of duty is. Is worth an additional 20 points. Maybe you will get credit for January.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: No, you're good, man. I mean, it's. It's time stamped. I just have to find them again. But you're good.
What have you been up to? How is work going for you?
[00:24:52] Speaker B: It's great.
Since I'm not working.
[00:24:57] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, have you found anything? No, no.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: At this point, I'm just kind of staying home with the kid.
I'm putting in applications, but I'm not hearing back on any of them.
And, you know, like, I'm not stoked on dumping my kid on my parents for, like, eight hours a day. So it's kind of just. What?
[00:25:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I wouldn't be there.
[00:25:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm.
I'm putting it in the applications, but if I don't hear back, I don't hear back. I'm not pursuing anything super aggressively.
I'm hoping that when my wife's training is over and her schedule frees up a little bit, I'll be able to, like, you know, get a fight. You know? Actually, good thing you asked me, because I remembered I've got a friend with an H VAC company, and I was gonna text him and just be like, hey, I'll do literally anything for you, up to and including sexual favors.
Get me in, coach. You're. You're the only industry that's still gonna exist in 10 years. Please.
[00:26:13] Speaker A: Hey, I don't know who Esther Rantzin is.
Rant Zinn, but it's her, Ray J and Bruce Willis.
[00:26:22] Speaker B: Okay, yeah, Bruce Willis has gotta be any day now, ain't right, dude?
[00:26:30] Speaker A: Like, come on already, bro. We get it. Die Hard. We got it, dude.
[00:26:35] Speaker B: You know what sucks?
[00:26:36] Speaker A: Fucking get it. Let's get the show on the road, though.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: I was watching Bumpin Mike's, which was Jeffrey Ross and Davitel just like doing stand up comedian, like together and like roasting each other on stage. And they made like a little documentary on Netflix and they had a bunch of celebrity guests in the audience.
This is like 20, 17, 18 maybe. And fucking Bruce Willis was in the audience and they were like, oh, do you have any special skills? And he's like, yeah, I can play the harmonica. And he just pulls out a harmonica and starts like. He was great, dude. He was like a great. This is just a couple years before he went fucking brain dead. It's crazy. Like, it's nuts.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: They should make a Die Hard. Like, what? What do they make? 3 should make a die hard 4 and just make it a documentary of his days today, you know what I mean?
[00:27:39] Speaker B: Cuz he's dying hard.
[00:27:43] Speaker A: No, cuz it won't die, bro.
I've had him on my list since April 30th.
All right, so tonight's topic, hobbies and why we do them.
What is your hobby there, Mr.
Wakeboard?
[00:28:07] Speaker B: Well, now it's just paddle boarding. I'm done with everything else.
[00:28:11] Speaker A: Oh, paddle boarding. That's what it was.
[00:28:14] Speaker B: I'm not playing music anymore. I'm actually quitting the podcast just so I have more time to paddle board.
[00:28:24] Speaker A: Yeah, hold on, hold on. When did you paddle board?
[00:28:27] Speaker B: Monday.
[00:28:29] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:28:30] Speaker B: First and only time.
[00:28:31] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:28:32] Speaker B: And it's me now.
[00:28:35] Speaker A: So you had free time on Monday to paddle board, but not to. Okay, okay, cool, cool.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: Yes, you got it.
[00:28:43] Speaker A: All right.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: It was a family.
[00:28:45] Speaker A: Seeing where the priorities were.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: Family beach.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: What beach you guys go to?
[00:28:50] Speaker B: It was that little baby beach on the Dana Point Harbor.
[00:28:55] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, you said that.
I hate Dana Point harbor, bro.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: Yeah, why?
[00:29:00] Speaker A: Or is it Dana Point Doheny. I think it's Doheny.
Big ass rocks going down into the water.
[00:29:10] Speaker B: You're angry at the rocks?
[00:29:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not sand. It's like good 12 inch to, like 24 inch rocks.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: The beach is sand.
[00:29:26] Speaker A: Not where I went in Dana Point. It was not. And I thought, oh, you're talking about the jetty they took me to.
I just don't like it. I want sand. Give me sand.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: Oh, on Doheny? Yeah. I think there's a lot of rocks on that beach.
Yes.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: I knew it was Doheny, dude. Yeah, that place sucks, bro. For.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah, the baby beach is like, right on the other side of the jetty and it's just nice smooth sand. I don't know why it's different.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: That's weird.
[00:30:01] Speaker B: I went surfing at Doheny once and I figured out pretty quickly that that was not for me.
And it was. It was nothing like the magic of paddle boarding, dude.
[00:30:16] Speaker A: I went surfing once with the youth group and all the guys gave me the big board because they're like, it's easier to get up on a big board. Like, all right, cool.
All of a sudden, off at a distance, we see dolphin.
And I'm like, that's cool. Like, check that out, guys like dolphins. Like, how cool is that? You don't always see dolphins, you know, while you're out. This is great.
And then all of a sudden, the fins of the dolphins are coming towards us.
I said, yep, I'm out.
Yeah.
That was my surfing experience.
Yeah, dude. People are like, they're just dolphins. Nah, that, bro.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: You don't know.
[00:30:59] Speaker A: They are, Right. I've seen a couple Tosh point zero s where they're raping women.
Sure.
[00:31:08] Speaker B: That and they could be great white sharks, like Orange County.
[00:31:13] Speaker A: Too majestic to be great whites. Oh, wow.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:31:17] Speaker A: They were doing the whole up and down, up and down.
[00:31:21] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Yeah.
[00:31:23] Speaker A: So it was cool.
[00:31:23] Speaker B: But they could still.
[00:31:24] Speaker A: Dude, they're still wild animals.
[00:31:26] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:31:27] Speaker A: And I can't punch anything in the water, dude. Yeah, you know what I mean?
[00:31:32] Speaker B: It's true. They tell you to punch a shark in the nose. You can't punch a shark in the nose if you're underwater.
[00:31:41] Speaker A: Not to your full potential.
No.
I'm grabbing eyeballs.
[00:31:46] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a good move. Gills, the gills are really sensitive, so if you can punch or like grab the gills them up.
[00:31:58] Speaker A: Yeah. I feel like my legs are in his mouth already. So pulling on the gills, I feel like I'm really secure in my spot.
[00:32:05] Speaker B: Yeah, you're just pulling yourself deeper into his straws.
Yeah, he just bites down harder.
[00:32:16] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly, bro.
[00:32:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah. But theoretically, if you can get the nose, that's good. They've got.
They've got like, what Is it. It's the ampullae of Lorenzetti, I think is what it's called.
And they've got, like, eight different senses in their nose that, like, sense sonar and vibrations and all this stuff. So if you punch that thing, it really, like, shakes their Etch A Sketch.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: Shakes their Etch A Sketch. You know what I can do? I could bite their nose.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: You know what you can do that I've chosen to do is never leave
[00:33:02] Speaker A: the fuck out of the ocean.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: Yep. Don't leave the harbor.
[00:33:06] Speaker A: Yes. I'm never the furthest man out, and I have to be able to touch the. Touch the ground when I go underwater. Yeah. I mean.
[00:33:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:16] Speaker A: And I'm never the furthest guy. Let that guy out there, like, be my. My. My warning signal, you know?
[00:33:22] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Let Johnny Knoxville out there be. Be the one who takes the hit.
[00:33:30] Speaker A: Exactly. Speaking of Johnny Knoxville, have you seen the new Fear Factor?
[00:33:34] Speaker B: Yeah, didn't. Didn't really care for it.
[00:33:40] Speaker A: Really? I liked it. I like the fact that it's, like, the same people every episode, and they get eliminated on, like, throughout the season.
[00:33:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I like that.
Maybe I didn't care for the people, or maybe I just don't care to watch shows. I don't know. But something about it just didn't grab me. I was super excited to see Johnny Knoxville host.
So I went into it thinking it was gonna be, like, my new thing, and then.
[00:34:09] Speaker A: Yeah, give it another shot. It was. It was pretty good, dude.
[00:34:13] Speaker B: All right.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: There's a dude on there that, like, the bullet guy says he doesn't. Yes. And he. Dude, he is like. He is an evil mastermind, because he'd be like, no, I can't do this one. I can't do this one. And, like, first rounds, he's, like, gagging and barely making it to the second round.
And then, like, second round, like, they're like, all right, this is the last round. Fucking takes it like a champ. And then he's like. And they thought they had him, bro. They were like, oh, I could take my time. Because he's. He had a really hard time with the first one. He was just gagging, and he couldn't keep it down. And then, like, the second round, the final round, he just takes it like a champ, dude. And he's just like, every.
Up until the moment he leaves, like, the three episodes before that, he is in, like, the elimination round and barely, like, gets by. By the skin of his teeth every time.
[00:35:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I.
[00:35:16] Speaker A: He sent home a girl that Johnny Knoxville cried over when She.
[00:35:19] Speaker B: I saw that. I did. My mom. Yeah. Continued to watch it, so I would catch a little bit here and there. And I did see, like, he said he always sent home the pretty girls, too, which they were all, like, saying. He was like, a.
An incel or whatever.
And Johnny Knox will cries because he sends this girl home. I was like, buddy, you gotta stay more objective than that. That's. That's a pretty wild move. But, no, yeah, he. He definitely seemed to be playing at a higher level. I did like that guy.
[00:35:54] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't like him at first because I was like, oh, dude, I would not like this dude. But, like, I respect his game, like, enough to where I. I would be
[00:36:02] Speaker B: like, yeah, dude, you're.
[00:36:05] Speaker A: That was pimp. Like, yeah. The fact that you couldn't chug that until you fucking had to. Absolutely had to.
[00:36:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
So what do you have as a hobby?
[00:36:19] Speaker A: So my hobbies.
Reading. I'm currently reading three books.
Reading the Gentleman in Moscow, which is a great book.
I'm reading the Dad's Edge, which is just, like, a.
Some insight on, you know, better fathering, and then the Bible.
So I read a chapter. Try and read a chapter a day of each.
Cool.
[00:36:50] Speaker B: Where are you at in the Bible right now?
[00:36:53] Speaker A: So I started over because the kid that I'm talking to, there's. There's another kid, the Raider.
He wanted to sit down and go through the Bible. So I'm like, all right, well, trying to make my work light here, you know, I was trying to go through the Bible with Miami as well. And so I'm reading things to her. We started in, like, First Samuel.
I'm reading things to her, and I'm like, do you understand what the Ark of the Covenant is? She's like, no. Like, all right. Do you understand why this guy is inside sackcloth and, like, clothes are torn and he looks all covered in dirt? And she's like, no.
I'm like, okay, maybe we should start over.
So I went to Genesis and started there, and so then I was just telling the other kid he wanted to meet every week. I was like, all right, let's start, and let's go through Genesis. Like, but he has me going through the small epistles as well.
So, like, we did James two weeks ago, and then, like, being that James is only five chapters, whenever we finish a book, we just default back to Genesis.
So right now I'm on Genesis 30.
Just finished Genesis 30 today.
And.
And then also, I'll read it in. In the nasb and then I'll Go back and I'll reread it in the esv, because the ESV is on my tablet so I can make my notes that I want to make as I read it.
So I do that. But, yeah, I haven't been writing much, but I did pick up some new ink from Mont Blanc.
Picked up a pink, hot pink, and a purple.
[00:38:47] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: And you.
[00:38:50] Speaker B: You practice, like, fine handwriting, right?
[00:38:56] Speaker A: What's that?
[00:38:57] Speaker B: You practice, like, fine handwriting.
[00:39:02] Speaker A: Yeah. And no, like, there was a time where I needed to practice it.
Now I can just free flow because I write in all caps and so. But when I write letters, it doesn't look good in all caps, so I can now free flow in between the small. The. The.
The all caps and. And using lowercase as well.
[00:39:25] Speaker B: Cool.
So I think, like, why you would read is a little too obvious. So why do you, like, get into inks and writing by hand and stuff? What do you get out of that?
[00:39:42] Speaker A: I think it's unique.
I think a handwritten letter is more accessible.
So, like, your texts disappear, your emails get buried.
I've never found myself going through old emails, like, oh, what did my dad email me a couple years ago? Or what did he text me? And just scroll for hours. Right.
But I use. I like letters because, like, whenever I go through my box of photos, like, if I'm looking for a photo or anything, I'll always grab the letters and just look them over, you know, like, do a quick read of them and be like, oh, man, I remember when this was written.
And so I think kind of like, cursive writing, physical letters is a dying art.
And so I like to write. So I got a bunch of calligraphy pens.
A lot of my mont Blanc, probably 7 out of 10 are fountain pens.
And so I'll, you know, I'll use the fountain pens whenever I write someone.
[00:41:02] Speaker B: Nice.
I tried with the fountain pens.
For some reason, I wasn't in. Like, I wasn't writing cursive, and I think that's huge because I think if you're not writing cursive with fountain pens, it's like.
It's difficult.
It's like, kind of part of it. Dude. Yeah, you.
[00:41:25] Speaker A: You gotta have, like, nice. That's why I practice over and over and over, because you gotta have nice penmanship or you're just.
It just looks like.
[00:41:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
So now I write cursive with my Pilot G2.38.5 font.
Best pen point existence, 0.3. 8.3.
Son of a.
It's my favorite.
[00:41:52] Speaker A: It's my favorite pilot pen.
[00:41:54] Speaker B: It's everyone's favorite pen. It's the. It can't be beat.
So now I can write cursive with that. But when I started using a fountain pen, it wasn't really something I'd practiced since like, school.
So now I'm kind of thinking if I got a good fountain pen, I bet I could like actually get into that now. And then I just think of like, oh, man, that's really opening a door. It's opening a dangerous door to like, get.
[00:42:25] Speaker A: It is, dude.
[00:42:26] Speaker B: All my. All my friends have boxes of gear and different. Oh, yeah. It just becomes an obsession.
[00:42:37] Speaker A: So there are certain things I like that I take pleasure in.
It's writing and then stamping it. So I have like a stamp with an S on it, a wax stamp that I seal all my letters with.
And so I like to write and then stamp it with my wax stamp.
[00:42:57] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:42:58] Speaker A: But like, all my pins were gifted to me from my ex girlfriend who was a lawyer.
And so these 10 Mont Blanc, dude, I've had them priced out. Some of them go for like $5,000. Whoa.
Yeah, dude, I'm like, now. I went and looked.
[00:43:17] Speaker B: Explain to me how you ended up with them. Okay. So she gifted them to you. Were they gifted to her? And she didn't know how much they were worth. Did she buy these for you? Like, what?
[00:43:26] Speaker A: No.
Her father died while we were dating and they were like, hey, we're, we're going to box up the house and just sell everything. And she was like, the. You are. And so she like ran in one day. He had hundreds of Mont Blanc, but she grabbed 10 of them and threw them in a bag and gave me like this nice ass leather bag.
And then she gave me the 10 pins. And I'll turn the camera around so you can see them.
[00:43:56] Speaker B: Ooh, okay.
[00:43:59] Speaker A: Like that one right there with the snake, that one runs about $4,000. This is a Sebastian Bach one. It's about 1500.
I went in the other day to try and find the completion of this because this is a highlighter and this is a rollerball.
They were like, oh, you get the fountain one too. I'm like, cool.
That's a basic ass pin, dude. Like, there's no fanciness to it. It's not like these ones, there's no gold.
And dude, it was fifteen hundred dollars. I was like, yeah, nah, you know, I just, I don't really have room for it in my pen case. You know, I'm trying to make up an excuse outside of, like, I'm not spending 15,000 or 1500 on a fucking pig, man. You serious? Yeah, but I was there buying.
I was buying ink for them, and the ink's not so bad. It's like each one of these is like maybe 25 bucks.
[00:44:53] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:44:54] Speaker A: For the ink, but you can't use, like, I bought all these inks. You can't use that ink. It's too thick for them.
[00:45:01] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, man, Is that a. Is that a little thing that heats up the wax?
[00:45:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Wax. Wax candle. This is a cool calligraphy pen. Fountain pen, if you will.
It's. It's glass.
So you just dip it and then it holds it in its grooves and you write with it.
And then you put it in this little.
Put in that little holder right there, a little glass holder. And that's where the ink drips.
[00:45:31] Speaker B: Man. You are more serious about this than I realized.
[00:45:36] Speaker A: I. Dude, I. I take.
I take great pleasure in writing, honestly. Like, I love.
I love. It was funny because I wrote some employees, some. Some assistants, I wrote them letters before the end of the project just to let them know, like, hey, like, I know we're probably not going to be working on the next project together, but, like, you do good in this area, but I see you need help in this area because they were assistant supers, so I'm just trying to help them in their careers.
And so I sat down and wrote each one of them a handwritten letter.
The guy goes home and shows his wife, and she was like, is that his writing? He was like, no, no, no, that's a font. He used to. To write this letter and printed it. And I was like, really, dude? He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a font, right? And I was like, no, that's my fucking writing. Wow.
So that was a good compliment, you know? Yeah.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: I was on a plane, so I wrote my book by hand.
Just the rough draft.
And we were on a plane when I was writing and I had the pilot and I was writing cursive in just a spiral bound notebook, you know, cheap, cheap one. And I was, you know, I write pretty small. Fine.
You know, my cursive has gotten pretty good, I think. And the stewardess was like, oh, my gosh. Like, your writing is great. Like, how do you write so well? And I was like, oh, you know, thanks.
Just practice. And then my wife goes, it's just the pen, the pen. The pen just makes it look good.
I was like, I thought, why can't I hear this?
[00:47:27] Speaker A: I thought for sure you're gonna be like, and then the wife goes, you want to her.
You into that?
[00:47:32] Speaker B: I think that was probably part of it.
I just. I can't think of a better reason to cut me down after getting a compliment like that. Crazy.
[00:47:41] Speaker A: You don't know him that well. It's just the pen.
So let me ask you, dude, you have two books out.
What are those books about? Because like one super small, one super thick.
[00:47:57] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:47:57] Speaker A: And I got them right here.
So what are they about?
[00:48:02] Speaker B: The first one you're gonna like a lot, I think.
[00:48:06] Speaker A: Is that the thick one or the small one?
[00:48:07] Speaker B: The thick one. Yeah.
[00:48:09] Speaker A: You're okay. The small one Seems like little sayings here and there throughout a bu Book.
[00:48:13] Speaker B: Yes, I'll explain that in a minute. And maybe for anonymity we'll cut it out, but maybe not.
[00:48:22] Speaker A: No, just give it a different name.
[00:48:23] Speaker B: I'm not. I'm not too worried about that these days, but given my employment status. But the Thick One is a fiction, fictional novel about a biblical counselor. And he's like a world famous biblical counselor, like top guy in his field.
And he's basically lost his faith, but he doesn't have anything else to do. He doesn't know how to do anything else. So he just keeps doing the job of a biblical counselor.
And then, you know, other shenanigans ensue. I think you're going to like that book a lot. Nobody likes the ending, but you might, you might like the ending, but I don't know if you're gonna like the
[00:49:09] Speaker A: ending, but I think with a gentleman.
As soon as I'm done with the gentleman in Moscow, that'll be my next book.
[00:49:18] Speaker B: Okay. It's not gonna live up to that, but okay.
And then the other one is a very short, mostly illustrated book about my hatred for onions and just what it's like to live as someone who doesn't like onions because they're in everything.
And, and it's just, it's a. It's really a manifesto about how we can live in an onion free world if we choose to do so.
[00:49:52] Speaker A: Who wants that, though, dude?
[00:49:54] Speaker B: Me.
[00:49:55] Speaker A: Like tonight on my burger were like grilled or raw? I said both
[00:50:00] Speaker B: you and that.
Yeah. So there's actually, there's a lot of really great stories in there about like ordering a burger with no onions.
[00:50:14] Speaker A: I'll have to get that little, little, little read. Yeah.
[00:50:17] Speaker B: I don't want to ruin the story, but let's just say I took the bun off and there were no onions on that burger, but when I bit in, there were fucking onions.
I have a million stories like that, dude. Just, like, the funniest stories about, like, how I ended up with onions on a weird thing.
And then the. The back of the book you'll really like, I think, because I. I had Chat gbt, I was like, hey, chat gbt. Here's the premise of the book. Write me, like, a synopsis of the book, but make it basically a Hitler speech about Jews, but just swap out the Jews for onions.
And what it gave me wasn't really usable, but I. It inspired what I ended up writing.
Just like always with Chat GPT.
[00:51:12] Speaker A: Take all these gay onions and throw them in the fire.
Yeah,
[00:51:21] Speaker B: Yeah. I think it's something about plaguing humanity.
[00:51:26] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:51:28] Speaker B: But, yeah, so that one's a lot more fun. I'll say that. That's the one that I promote.
[00:51:33] Speaker A: I. I'm probably gonna put that one in the bathroom.
It's gonna be my little bathroom reader.
[00:51:39] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a great spot for it.
The. The other. The fiction one, I would not do again, if I could do it over.
If I had to do it, I would do it a lot differently, but a lot of people have told me that they like it.
The. The number one compliment I get is regardless of how you feel about the story, it's very well written. And that's actually the biggest compliment to me because I.
I have a lot of quibbles with the story and how it kind of played out, but I do still take pride in. In my writing, so I think you'll enjoy the writing regardless.
[00:52:19] Speaker A: I need to finish my romance novel, dude. My erotic novel, I should say.
[00:52:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I need to.
[00:52:28] Speaker B: How about the manual? You still working on that?
[00:52:31] Speaker A: I am. I gave it to. So at a conference, I met a guy who is a former football player, and he went from football to training.
So he was like, I trained a bunch of movie stars. Like, I did, you know, fitness training for them. And I said, hey, I have a book.
I'm stuck on chapter two because I'm not a fitness guy and curious. Would you want to write chapter two for me?
And he was like, yes. And so what I'm thinking about doing, actually, is assigning each chapter to someone who is proficient in that.
That pillar.
Like, for me, I'm big. I'm big on the mind. So, like, for me, it's like, a lot of its mental stuff. So the mind chapter, I have to add a couple things, but the mind chapter, I'm done with now. I need to get someone that does fitness and someone that does you know, you know, something, someone that does like fashion and what fashion does.
[00:53:38] Speaker B: I'm stop you right there. I'm gonna stop you right there. I know what you're gonna say. And yes, I will do the paddle boarding chapter.
You don't even have to have free. I'll do it. Send it over.
[00:53:56] Speaker A: That's the only hard part about it, is I have a passion for it that I don't think other guys do.
So to get them to write on
[00:54:03] Speaker B: it, you know, here's what I'll say.
Yes, you're 100% right, and I'd say you're probably even right about that with me, but you are very good at selling people. People on the vision. Because when I hear you talk about it and what you want it to be and what you're trying to get out of it, I get very into what you're doing. And it's not really something I would appropriate to myself, but I still do.
[00:54:33] Speaker A: And that's how he felt. Yeah, like, the first night we. We sat together, we were at a conference, and they had a mixer, and we went for a drive, and we're. We just wanted to get away and grab a beer, so we went for a drive. And the store that we thought was open because it was in Laughlin nowhere near us, and so we didn't know anywhere to go. So we're like, fuck, whatever. So we turn around, we go back to the hotel, grab a quick drink at the bar, and just walk out by the river.
And during that time, we were just talking. I'm like, oh, dude. I just have this, like, this passion for. For, like, young men to be men, like proper gentlemen, you know, like distinguished, like different from other men.
And he was like, oh, yeah, that's good. You know, he's like, I got a son. What are your thoughts on this? And so we started throwing it back and forth. And then he was like, dude, like. And that's literally for the next five hours, we just talked about life and what it means to be a man. And, like, we're sitting out there talking, and we were talking so long that, like, people were walking up the. The riverwalk and they would see us talking. And, like, you know, we're animated. We're. We're. We're giving pictures of. Well, you're walking like this, and then you get distracted, so you turn over here and then, you know, you're trying to get back on track.
And, like, people would walk up and be like, what do you guys like? They would overhear us and be like, hey, what are you guys talking about? And then we'd be like, all right, so let us ask you. And like all of a sudden, like, we're just asking all these like men that were walking down the river, like, what about this? What about that? And it was just, it was really cool. So that's like when he was like, hey. It just kind of came to me like a month, two, maybe two months later. I'm like, hey, you're a fitness guy. You know, I'm writing a book. Like, would you do chapter two? I'm stuck on chapter two. And he was like, yeah, send it over.
So we'll see.
[00:56:27] Speaker B: Yeah, dude, you. You remind me me.
There was this guy.
Sorry, I'm typing and thinking.
[00:56:39] Speaker A: Alino, Scent of a woman.
[00:56:40] Speaker B: Yeah, there was this guy who self wire. That was it. It was Paul Maxwell. Okay, so this guy named Paul Maxwell and he did his thesis. He was like a theology guy. He unfortunately, unfortunately is not a Christian anymore, but at the time he was a theology guy and he did his PhD on masculinity.
[00:57:07] Speaker A: Really?
[00:57:07] Speaker B: And I think this is gonna be some good source material for you.
Was it? This was it.
I don't think I can find the thesis. It probably wasn't published. But I'll. I'll do some digging, I'll see. See if I can find the actual book or like the. It's probably not a full book, but like a PDF, like a, you know, short.
[00:57:32] Speaker A: Perfect. It'll go right on my PDF reader. My little remarkable.
[00:57:37] Speaker B: I. Because I had it. I used to have it. I don't know what I did with it, but I, I know that I downloaded it online and I want to say it was like a 60 page, you know, thesis.
And his whole thing was kind of defining masculinity, not by like.
And I'm gonna butcher the shit out of this. So this, that's why I want you to read it.
But it was not so much like an objective measure of strength, but like utilizing your strength to the best of your ability. And like, everyone's gonna be kind of on a different level. Level. But like, you need to be, you know, like utilizing the tools that you have as a man. And so someone in that I was talking about this with summed it up perfectly for me and it. This statement stuck with me.
So, you know, ko. You know, Pastor KO.
[00:58:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:58:37] Speaker B: So basically this person picked like another kind of like sky skinny, kind of nerdy guy and he basically, let's call him Paul. And he basically said like, I know in my heart that Paul is more of a man than ko, Even though culturally we wouldn't define it that way. But like, this, this paper, like, actually puts into words, like how that's possible, because this is like a good guy who, who like really acts like a man to the best of his abilities in all of these different facets, you know, And I think that's an important aspect to that whole topic because what it often becomes is like, well, you have to be able to like, bench this amount of weight or you have to be able to do this kind of skill, skill or whatever. And it's like, that's just not gonna be in everyone's wheelhouse. But like, every man, regardless of his abilities, is called to certain objective things, you know.
And so, yeah, anyways, no, I, I agree.
[00:59:50] Speaker A: Because, yeah, like, I hate going to the gym because, you know, I'm like, hey, just put the 25s on.
Oh, you can do 40. I don't want to do 40. Do 25 till I max out, you know, like, if I want to do 40, I'd be like, hey, put on the 40s. But I'm not trying to be like the guy in the gym. I'm trying to be here for myself, you know?
[01:00:12] Speaker B: Yeah, you're getting me worked up, dude, because I've really been feeling the itch to get back out there and like, start working out again.
[01:00:20] Speaker A: And, dude, you gotta do just one day at a time. And I know you're big on this whole, like, if it's Thursday, start Thursday, because tomorrow's Thursday, you get more time in and you know, and you know, you start sooner and. Nah, dude, just fucking set a date. Be like, hey, first is right around the corner. It's 10 days away.
Mentally prepare yourself. Okay, Monday I'm getting up whenever the first is Monday, I'm getting up and I'm going, going for a jog, you know, going for run or, you know. I told that guy, he asked me, he said, have you gotten to the gym yet?
I said, no, I didn't go. I was supposed to start like, you know, supposed to start like Friday or something. I said, no, I didn't go, man.
And he was like, well, I was like, I just don't have time. He's like, everybody has time for this. Do 50 push ups, 50 squats and 50 push up squats and something else. But he's like, I know you could do that. Like, you can make time for that. You could do that like in your bathroom right before you get in the shower.
And I was like, well, he's right. So I did. It was three. Three things of 50. I forget what it was, though, but, yeah, did them. And I was like, cool.
[01:01:45] Speaker B: All right.
[01:01:46] Speaker A: Like, I didn't get. I didn't. Wasn't sore the next day. Like, my legs were sore from the squats, but I wasn't like. Like, right now I'm in pain.
Like, I'm in, like, pain where, like, if I move, I'm like, oh, my gosh.
You know, I feel like I fucking ripped some shit. And I didn't go hard, dude. Like, it was just.
And the new workout that I'm doing with number three's boyfriend is perfect for me. I don't like being in the gym for more than an hour. Yeah, we're there for a half hour.
We do four sets each, or we do four exercises each consisting of three sets. The first two go to eight.
You know, if you're doing curls, eight curls rest 30 seconds, eight curls, and then the last one just go to. You can't go no more.
And then you move on. We're out of there, like, in 35 minutes. I'm like, that's perfect. That fits in my system, you know? Like, I would go with stretch marks. Stretch marks is like, all right, we're going to do this. All right, we want to do next. Okay, we're going to do this. Okay, now let's do this. And I'm like, dude, like, I just want to work out and go home. I'm not trying to make a lifestyle out of this, you know, I just want to be able to, like, you know, toss my girl around a little bit more than I do, you know?
[01:03:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah. Well, going to failure is a really good.
A really good way to structure your sets, from what I hear. Not that I actually understand
[01:03:25] Speaker A: what I speak about fitness, what they say.
[01:03:28] Speaker B: I.
I had a really good workout going back in the fall, and I really. I think tomorrow I could do it after. After the baby goes to bed. I'm gonna freaking get out there, and I'm gonna do it because it was all calisthenics. So, like, I don't need any equipment. I just go out in the backyard, and I bang it out, and.
And I just do, like, three resets of each thing to failure.
I had, like, I figured out, like, five or six different workouts that basically worked everything I needed to.
And, yeah, I just. I miss that feeling of, like, having.
Having, like, used your body and you can, like, go to sleep feeling like I didn't just sit around all day, you know? What?
[01:04:20] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it definitely does something for you mentally.
[01:04:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:04:26] Speaker A: And. And I prefer. So I prefer to start my day off with the exercise.
They do say it's good to end your day with exercise. Not cardio, but exercise. Like a workout. They say it's good because, like, you sleep better.
But for me, I just feel like my brain gets going a little bit earlier when I start working. Start my day with a workout.
[01:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I've never done that because I'm not a morning person by any stretch, but I also don't eat breakfast. And I've always felt like if I were to do that, I would not have the same amount of energy on an empty stomach, but I might.
[01:05:08] Speaker A: That's the other thing I changed up. I go to. I'm doing a creatine shake right after the workout, and then I'm doing a shake in the afternoon.
And then if I eat at all, it's like either fish or ground beef or something for dinner.
So I'm trying to get down for this wedding.
And then on another note, we're gonna be in California in probably mid June.
[01:05:36] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:05:37] Speaker A: We're gonna do a little family trip. I'm gonna bring the old lady. She can bring her son.
And then number three and her boyfriend, and then number four. We're all just gonna go get, like, a. I don't know, a beach house or something.
[01:05:53] Speaker B: Cool.
[01:05:53] Speaker A: Airbnb it.
So you're welcome to. To stop in and join us.
[01:05:58] Speaker B: Absolutely. That sounds awesome.
Yeah.
[01:06:02] Speaker A: So I don't know when yet. I gotta save up some funds for that.
[01:06:06] Speaker B: Okay, cool. Yeah, I'd.
I'd love to spend some time just us.
Not that I don't want you to meet my daughter, but I really don't want to be chasing a toddler around when I'm trying to catch up with my pal.
[01:06:25] Speaker A: Oh, I thought you meant, like, just me and you. No. No family or.
[01:06:30] Speaker B: Oh, no, I'll. I'll chill with the family. I want to meet Miami and stuff.
[01:06:34] Speaker A: I was like, dude, it's hard up for 20 bucks, but a blow job's a blow job, you know?
[01:06:41] Speaker B: Blow job. Still a job, buddy.
Yeah, no, it. It'd be.
It'd be cool if I could swing the wife and the baby for a short time just so you can meet them.
But I'll get them the out of there as quickly as possible. Don't you worry.
[01:07:07] Speaker A: Hey, how's it going? I'm Frederick. Oh, nice to meet you. Okay, well, you guys have a good night.
[01:07:14] Speaker B: She'd love that. Honestly, if I could promise her, hey, you got to meet this really good friend for seven minutes.
[01:07:21] Speaker A: I think you just gotta drop me off.
[01:07:23] Speaker B: Oh, that would be height. Social interaction for her. Like, she. She could not beat that.
[01:07:31] Speaker A: So I saw that the recent pictures on Instagram were taken outside of your wife's work, I'm assuming, sort of.
[01:07:38] Speaker B: So we had to go to that coffee shop, that unnamed franchise, for a barista competition.
The second round, because my wife won the competition at her store. So then she moved on to the district round and came in second, only beaten by what they described as a coffee master, which is someone who goes to a. He has to work for the company for a certain amount of years, and then he goes to a, like, spot special three month training.
And that, I found out, is why some of them have a black apron.
And in this franchise, most of them have a green apron, if you know what I'm saying. But every once in a while, you'll see one with a black apron.
That's what that means. They are a coffee master. And he's the only one who could beat that.
[01:08:39] Speaker A: This is why the 7 cents to a dollar.
Okay, I didn't want to say it. I know it was pretty obvious, but first place makes a dollar, just so
[01:08:52] Speaker B: happens to be a dude.
[01:08:54] Speaker A: Second place is probably $0.30 less an hour, you know?
[01:08:58] Speaker B: Yeah, probably.
And there was a. There were only six.
There was a trans.
And I'm. I'm glad to say they did not come in into the top three.
I was like, okay, this is gonna be a DEI win if I've ever seen one.
This. This dude is all trans doubt. And then, nope,
[01:09:26] Speaker A: I'm not gonna lie, dude. There's a lot at that franchise, like, even out here, like, this person was a. Was a pretty person, and they were like, what else you want on your. And I was like, whoa, bro. Like, in my mind, like, holy crap. Before you spoke, I was like, which, what's this? What's this little lady's number? Yeah, no, dude.
[01:09:51] Speaker B: Yeah, this.
[01:09:52] Speaker A: And I was like, holy.
[01:09:54] Speaker B: This was one of the weird, I want to say fluid ones who are not trying to be either thing because he had like a beard, but was like wearing a dress and like makeup and stuff.
So, like, I don't think that's like someone trying to be a chick, right? It's like more of the fluid thing where you're not really like either.
[01:10:19] Speaker A: I don't know the fluid thing. I don't know how that works. I do know that I was at Hot Topic the other Day with my kid and terrible. Like one of the.
It was a dude, clearly a dude, like easily a dude. And he had his face painted pink like he didn't know how to do his makeup. Dude, it was, it was everywhere. And I was just like, dude, like nobody's gonna say anything to this guy. Like let him talk to me. And I'm gonna ask him what in the holy fuck is on your face and why? Like chicks don't do that. Why?
You know what I mean?
[01:10:56] Speaker B: It reminds me of that Patton Oswalt joke where he's like, you know, a clown is just a drag queen who doesn't stop, right?
Instead of like pretty lipstick, he just goes, Yeah, you met like a clown trance.
[01:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure.
[01:11:17] Speaker B: Why were you at regular clothes
[01:11:22] Speaker A: number 4? Likes to go in there and look at like the, the dolls and the,
[01:11:26] Speaker B: the jewelry and I forget that it's a more kid friendly place now than it used to be.
Like when I was, when I was a kid it was really like devil shit and like metal and punk and like it's, it's.
[01:11:42] Speaker A: It has like anime, The Nightmare Before Christmas stuff. Yeah, it has, has the anime stuff and then it has that. What is that circus cartoon that's on? It was like on the Internet and then they finally put it on Netflix.
But anyhow it has like the circus freaking cartoon dolls there and stuff and.
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
[01:12:05] Speaker B: I mean they had to evolve cuz that wasn't paying the bills. It was great when I was a kid, but I get why you can't do that forever.
[01:12:16] Speaker A: You know who I feel should still be in business?
I feel like they're out of business. I don't know if they're out of business, but I have not seen a Spencers in years, bro.
[01:12:27] Speaker B: There was one at the mall in Oklahoma. But the malls in Oklahoma are flourishing.
Like we don't go to malls out here. I don't know how it is in Arizona, but like nobody pays attention to the malls and it's just sort of a dead thing from the past. Out in Oklahoma they do that shit.
They're still going out to the mall. They're still having a good time.
[01:12:55] Speaker A: They still do it here. Like all of our malls are pretty flourishing.
But again, I haven't really seen a Spencer's and I just remember being a kid going to Spencer's. Like there's sections in Spencer's where you're like, oh, this is the cool stuff. Yeah.
[01:13:12] Speaker B: Do you remember that cane with a mirror on the bottom so you could look up girls skirts
[01:13:18] Speaker A: No, I don't.
[01:13:20] Speaker B: Dude, Somebody needs to cancel Spencer's. That is wild.
[01:13:25] Speaker A: They had a cane so you can look up girls skirts, huh? Yeah, yeah.
[01:13:29] Speaker B: It was like a cane with a little like, like a little review, like a picture, like one of the. What's those?
You know those little circular telescopic mirror.
[01:13:41] Speaker A: Little circular mirror on a telescopic.
[01:13:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Where they'll. They'll put it at like a blind turn so you can see a car coming. Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing.
[01:13:48] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:13:51] Speaker B: I might rig one of those up and just use it on my wife just to be an asshole.
[01:13:57] Speaker A: I might rig one of those up when I get old. Yeah, okay.
Okay, here's another thought.
I'm thinking about bringing the cane back.
[01:14:08] Speaker B: Okay. As an ornamental accessory.
[01:14:12] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, like when I go out like in a suit only I would
[01:14:18] Speaker B: be shocked if you don't have a suit or a pocket watch rather.
[01:14:22] Speaker A: I have a pocket watch.
[01:14:24] Speaker B: Nice.
[01:14:26] Speaker A: So
[01:14:28] Speaker B: are you gonna open a glass case of pocket watches right now?
[01:14:33] Speaker A: Oh, man.
It has a pocket watch. Okay, so I have a pocket watch right there.
[01:14:41] Speaker B: Okay. That looks. Now I don't know shit about watches.
I'm gonna say that looks like a nice collection of watches.
[01:14:52] Speaker A: Three of them are bulabas. They're. They're not crazy expensive. Like none of my watches are over $500.
[01:15:03] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:15:04] Speaker A: And. Well, that one was a thousand when I originally bought it.
But I bought that like 22 years ago.
And then that's like 20,000. I just.
I'm hoping. And then I just bought one the other day that retails for 2,000.
[01:15:24] Speaker B: Okay.
Retails.
[01:15:27] Speaker A: But I got it for one.
[01:15:28] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:15:29] Speaker A: Yeah, you got it for 120.
[01:15:32] Speaker B: Nice.
A hundred.
[01:15:35] Speaker A: So I go, I do all.
Yeah, dude. My buddy, you know, Padre, what's his name, used to be Rico Suave. Now he's like El Padre.
[01:15:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:15:45] Speaker A: He told me about a website called Joma Shop. J O M A shop.
And he was like, what they do is they go to retail stores that sell Rolex and Breitling and all the top watches.
And they let them know, like, hey.
Because a lot of these, all these watch dealers, if you don't sell a certain quota of watches, you risk Rolex pulling their, their contract from you. Like, hey, you didn't sell enough.
Like you're no longer a certified Rolex dealer.
And so Joma Shop goes in and they buy all their watches at a discount price.
And then they'll turn around, put a little bit of a markup and sell them to sell them on Their website.
Well, this watch I bought, I'm so excited to get it come Saturday.
But it retails for 2000. It was on sale for three, something like 360 or 320. And then it had a 200 coupon on it for graduation.
And so it tells you, like, put this, you know, when you check out, put in this code. I checked out and I got it for 120.
[01:17:09] Speaker B: Nice.
I will say so. That's another whole world, like watch guys get into their watch enemy. Like Tom Segura is a good example. Drops 15, 20 grand on a watch.
[01:17:25] Speaker A: If I had that kind of flow, I would be doing that for sure.
[01:17:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I want to say that I don't get it because I'm just not a watch guy. But when I see some of these, like, blacked out awesome watches, sometimes I'm like, yeah, I kind of get. Yeah, I get what's on going. Cool about that.
[01:17:42] Speaker A: Like, so I don't wear jewelry.
The watch is my jewelry.
It's simple because it's a necessity. You know, it tells. Gives me the time right at the flip of a wrist.
It's not like a bracelet or a necklace where it's like, you don't really have any need for that except for. To show that you have, you know, you have jewelry.
And so.
But a lot of my watches I want. I try and get different watches for different occasions. So, like, the gold one is for my suit.
That small one is usually what I'll wear when I go golfing, you know, the white one is for when I'm wearing really white shoes. And it's kind of like a hot day where I wear something that looks like kind of beachy.
I'll throw on the white one, you know, and then the silver ones I kind of just go through, dependent on where I'm going. If it's work, I'll wear like one of the silver band ones.
And then I have seven pairs of sunglasses to go with each, you know, each outfit. So if I'm wearing something blue, I pull out my blue. They're kind of like gradient where they go from like blue to tent or brown to tent or gray to tent or all black with gold or all black and black, you know, or.
So I just. It's just kind of, you know, just want to, you know, I just want to flow freely, you know, I want to be able to, like, that's part of, like, for me, it's part of the first impression, the halo effect.
They see something. They're like, I can't put my thumb on it, but this guy, like.
Like, I don't know what it is, but I, like, I trust I'm in good hands with him. You know, it. To me, it's the attention to detail. Yeah. You know, it's the reason why I do manicures and pedicures. I look at almost every guy's nails when we talk.
At some point in our conversation, I'm gonna look down at their nails and see if they're a biter, if they're a non cleaner, like when they got the fucking, like, dark fucking dirt under their fucking nails. If. If maybe they're not a biter, but they also haven't clipped them in a little bit. And so, like, you see the white, but then you got the brown under it, or their cuticles are all kind of crazy. It just gives me a little insight on. On. On that guy, you know, like, okay, like, he's a hard worker, but he's not, you know, he doesn't pay attention to detail. Like, he'll. If I see someone in construction that has, like.
Like hands that are not, you know, they're all cracked and fucking just torn to shit.
I can kind of judge in the sense of, okay, he's a good worker, but he doesn't really care about the details in getting the job done. His goal is to get the job done. It's not the small things that. That set us apart.
And so that's just kind of how. And I could be totally off. He could be totally about the small things, but, like, you know, working with baseball. Baseball bat, he was always like, I could tear a girl's pantyhose by just rubbing her legs with my hands because his hands were so fucking cracked and dry that, like, you know, when you get like, that dry on your hands and like, you might rub the pillow or a soft blanket, and your finger kind of gets caught on it real quick. Yeah, you could just fill it.
His hands were, like, horrible like that.
So, yeah, I just kind of look at the small things like that, and I'm like, okay, like, there's got to be. It's got to be some. Like, I want to be different. I want to be able to fucking, you know, be different. You know, when you. I want you to feel comfortable when you come to my house. You want to. What you want. You want espresso? You want coffee? You. You want a fucking mixed drink? What do you want? You know, it's like, you are one
[01:21:52] Speaker B: of the most hospitable people I've ever met.
[01:21:54] Speaker A: By the way, little fridge sodas and the mixers.
I try, man, but that's part of. It's just part of who I am in. In that sense. Like, it. It annoys the out of me to come home to, like, a dirty house or have guest over at a dirty house, you know?
You know?
[01:22:15] Speaker B: All right, all right.
[01:22:19] Speaker A: And then, you know, I might want to throw a cigar in there, you know? Yeah.
Pappy Van Winkles, by the way, are a great cigar.
[01:22:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
Never have.
[01:22:30] Speaker A: And then the belts and. Yeah, I carry a handkerchief. You never know if a woman's gonna need a handkerchief.
[01:22:36] Speaker B: I used to do that. I should bring that back.
[01:22:40] Speaker A: Scarfs. I'm a big scarf guy, dude, you know?
[01:22:43] Speaker B: Yeah, that's true.
[01:22:45] Speaker A: I have the shitty part about living
[01:22:46] Speaker B: in the shit out of a scarf. I'm just realizing that.
[01:22:49] Speaker A: The shitty part about living in Arizona. Yeah, she don't have a lot of scarf needs.
[01:22:54] Speaker B: You get a pretty good winter.
[01:22:58] Speaker A: Yeah, for like a month, bro. But you gotta have a packed winner to go through all your scarves, bro. Like, you gotta have a schedule, you know?
I wore maybe three of them this year.
[01:23:12] Speaker B: I feel. I feel like you get, like, snow and I mean, like, doesn't it last a little bit longer than a month?
[01:23:19] Speaker A: We don't get snow out here, dude. Like, in some parts, but not in Phoenix.
[01:23:22] Speaker B: Oh, right, okay.
[01:23:24] Speaker A: It just gets that. That chilly desert.
[01:23:26] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[01:23:27] Speaker A: Brisk and it's nice, but it doesn't, like.
It doesn't. Outside of like, maybe a month or two, it doesn't warrant a scarf, you know, so. And you can't just wear a scarf.
You gotta throw on the pea coat.
[01:23:46] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:23:46] Speaker A: You know, so. Yeah, it's.
It's a rough life.
[01:23:55] Speaker B: It is, though, dude. It is a hard life living somewhere where you don't like the climate.
[01:24:02] Speaker A: For sure, dude. And the shitty part about it, honestly, is like, now all of a sudden, I got this career. I'm. I'm diving into business development.
Where I could possibly, like, grow in this company and be number two is kind of how I'm looking at it.
And now I'm getting these texts from the other side of the fence that's like, hey, guys, we hate living here. What do you guys think about moving to, like, somewhere else? And I'm like, the go off. Yeah. They're like, why? Why. Why do you say that? I'm like, because I got a career here. You're in construction. You get a job anywhere? It's like, no, not really, you know?
[01:24:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:24:46] Speaker A: Like, this place is booming. Right now I'm in a good position with a small company that's about to go big, and I'm gonna be, like, number tied for number two.
[01:24:55] Speaker B: You know, I'm planting seeds that may not pay off if you. If you moved to another company. Right?
[01:25:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:25:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:25:05] Speaker A: I'm like, come on. And not saying there's not something better out there, but there's so much to it. Miami's here.
[01:25:11] Speaker B: Wait, wait, wait. So number three has to move like
[01:25:14] Speaker A: the family big country. And number two, okay.
Are like, hey, we think we're cool. If you guys all want to move, we're cool.
I don't want to move. Got Miami here.
And I'm like, I love Miami and all, but I mean, there's so many more. Miami's in the. In the States, and.
But on top of it, I'm like, no, I got a career here. Like, no, dude, I'm not gonna up and move now. You know? And they want to move further from California, you know, they're like, well, we're thinking about, like, Philadelphia.
[01:25:56] Speaker B: Philadelphia.
Philadelphia.
[01:25:59] Speaker A: I said, that's what.
[01:26:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:26:01] Speaker A: Fucking serious.
[01:26:02] Speaker B: Get stabbed at a Wawa. That's what you want to do.
[01:26:06] Speaker A: Yeah. I forget what they threw out, but they threw out, like, Philadelphia. Let me find it.
[01:26:14] Speaker B: Camden, New Jersey.
[01:26:16] Speaker A: Fargo, North York, North Dakota. No, I'm kidding. Kidding.
But, yeah, dude, it was. I thought it was just.
I was like, who in the Are you guys? Like, who says this? So they said.
They said, let me find it. What are our options? Oregon, Washington, Pennsylvania.
Okay, Democrat. Democrat. You know, I mean, like, get. And then Pennsylvania. I don't know what they are.
[01:26:48] Speaker B: Pennsylvania, I know out of left field. I don't get what that is, but I do get the draw to the Northwest.
I can't do it because the lack of sunlight will literally give me depression.
So that's just out of the question. But it is a beautiful spot, and it is a lot cheaper than California.
[01:27:10] Speaker A: Not going to lie.
Not gonna lie. To live on the border would be fine, but you'd have to go to a big city in order to get the construction.
1, 2.
I can find myself living it up there with my scarves, you know? Definitely scarf weather, 100%.
And I like to layer because layering, I would layer well.
And it hides sometimes my unhappiness, you know, in the gut, you know, so it hides that. However.
I mean, it's fucking Oregon, bro. In Washington. Like, no, man, no, I don't want to move. Seattle. It's always rainy and stuff.
[01:28:03] Speaker B: Seattle, Seattle.
[01:28:04] Speaker A: And I don't want to move to Oregon because they're so angry against, like, Christians.
[01:28:11] Speaker B: I.
From everything I've heard, that's really, like a Portland thing.
And if you're outside of Portland, it's basically a red state.
[01:28:22] Speaker A: Okay, I gotta go to. I gotta be in construction Salem. I gotta be where they're building.
[01:28:27] Speaker B: There's still a lot of big cities.
Salem is the capital city. I mean, it's. It's a big city.
It's not Portland, but I mean, it's still a.
And it's a little closer to the California.
[01:28:38] Speaker A: How far is it from Portland? Huh.
So it's a couple hours from Portland, I think.
[01:28:44] Speaker B: I think it's like two hours south of Portland.
[01:28:48] Speaker A: I ain't too bad because I do enjoy Portland's vibe in the sense of, like, how things are laid out.
[01:28:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:28:55] Speaker A: I enjoy their bookstore. They have, like, a huge bookstore there. Yeah, you get lost in that thing.
[01:29:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:29:02] Speaker A: And then.
[01:29:03] Speaker B: And my. My cousin. My cousin lives in Portland, and he says all this stuff about riots and crime and shit. It's all fake. None of this has happened. Like, it's a totally safe place. I feel fine.
[01:29:16] Speaker A: So my dad lived in Vancouver, Washington, which is 30 minutes minutes north of Portland. And we would go there, and when we first started going there, it was fine. After Covid, it was just a lot of homeless people. A lot more homeless people than before.
[01:29:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:29:34] Speaker A: But again, coming from la, that didn't bother me. You know what I mean?
It was just kind of like, all right, well, these are Oregon homeless people.
[01:29:45] Speaker B: It is different.
That's. That's not LA homelessly homeless people.
LA homeless is a different story.
[01:29:54] Speaker A: Yeah, LA homeless said they were gonna kill me one night.
[01:29:57] Speaker B: These guys, they're high, they're chilling.
[01:30:02] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying?
They didn't bother me. We went out to eat, didn't have to hear. I walked past two of them. They didn't say nothing.
[01:30:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, dude, I've. I've heard that they are people living in homeless shelters in Portland who get up every morning, put on a suit, and go work eight hours.
Like, that's how expensive Portland is.
[01:30:26] Speaker A: Really? Yeah.
[01:30:29] Speaker B: No, no, but, you know, I've. I've looked because I. I used to want to move to Oregon, and I obviously didn't want to live in Portland, so I was kind of doing some research. This was like 10 years ago.
My girlfriend and I at the time were kind of talking about maybe if we got married, we'd move somewhere.
[01:30:49] Speaker A: Bigfoot.
[01:30:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
And so Salem was one of those Spots that came up.
And at the time I looked up a two bedroom apartment, 800 bucks, which is like what the price is in Oklahoma were when we moved to Oklahoma.
And I, I looked it up just maybe a year or two ago thinking like, well, it's got to be like crazy expensive now. It was like 1600 bucks. So it was like twice, but like way cheaper than you'd get anywhere else, you know,
[01:31:24] Speaker A: that's probably about the same that they're going for out here. Yeah, it's about the 16, 17. 1700 bucks. Like I pay.
I pay 22 for a three bedroom and I got a garage, so it's 25. So I pay about 25amonth for 1700 square feet in a garage.
[01:31:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:31:47] Speaker A: Which I'm fine with.
[01:31:49] Speaker B: I mean that's, I mean it's not bad when you consider that that price would be like a studio of apartment here.
[01:31:59] Speaker A: Yeah. But it sucks because my mortgage of my house at the time when I moved here, before the divorce was final, my mortgage was only 1700 for four bedroom house, two story.
[01:32:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that sucks.
[01:32:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
But that's not the case anymore because we bought when prices were still in the three hundreds.
[01:32:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:32:19] Speaker A: Now the prices are in the five hundreds for that same house.
[01:32:22] Speaker B: Mm.
[01:32:23] Speaker A: So it does go up. What I do like about renting though is I don't need to fix.
[01:32:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:32:30] Speaker A: AC goes out, fix it. Fridge goes out, give me a new one. You know, I mean, microwave breaks, replace it. I don't have to go out and drop a dime on nothing.
I love that.
[01:32:44] Speaker B: Yeah. I only got to live as a renter for about a year.
But that was nice that like, oh, the toilet's up. Well, I'll just call someone. They come fig. Like, it was great not to have to worry about any of that.
Hey, can I ask and you don't have to tell me.
[01:33:03] Speaker A: Yep.
[01:33:04] Speaker B: If this is too personal, what's the situation with the house now?
Like, did she buy you out of your half or you co own it?
[01:33:11] Speaker A: No, no, no, no.
She. She came over one day and was like, hey, you got a bunch of mail. And it was probably about 20, 25 letters, all from the same place, some law firm.
And so I'm like, okay. So I open it up and I'm like, you didn't think I was like, wait, wait. So I, I opened it up and I said, they're auctioning off the house in March.
I'm like, have you not been paying rent? The mortgage?
Like, no, I couldn't afford it. I'm like, so you stop paying the mortgage.
You see 40 letters addressed to me because I'm the only one. The title from a law firm. And you think nothing, nothing of it. I'm like, we need to sell the house, like stat.
So she was like, I'll find the realtor. I know the person. I'm like, whatever. She was on this whole thing of like, she gets to do it it. So the realtor called me and I was like, look, we bought it for 330.
It's currently going for like 585 sell for like 340.
And she was like, really? I was like, yeah, I don't want her getting dick.
I was like, make your nut and bounce. Like, I want it sold like tomorrow.
[01:34:30] Speaker B: Baller thing I've ever heard.
[01:34:33] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. I didn't want her fucking maze. And we had to split it. So she walked away with like 18,000.
And then.
[01:34:41] Speaker B: Not that great.
[01:34:41] Speaker A: I walked away with 18.
Not that great. But it's really bad when you have to pay your lawyer 18,000. Which is basically because she wanted to drag it out. What we both did. Both of our money went to our lawyers.
Yeah, I rest. I sleep pretty good at night.
I'm not gonna lie.
[01:35:04] Speaker B: Pretty cool. I did somehow. We've talked a lot about that whole situation and that story has never come up.
I thought you still had the house. I thought she was still living in the house.
[01:35:15] Speaker A: No. So my buddy in California, the, the millionaire and my sister were gonna buy the house just so I could stay in it. They were like, hey, we'll buy the house and you can fucking, you can have it. Like, you just pay us rent. And I'm like, I don't want to live in that fucking house.
They're like, really? I was like, no, I fucking hate that house. I hate everything a fucking about that house. I hate the fucking. Like, I, I hate being in it. Like, it just has so many bad memories. I just hate being in that house.
So yeah, they were like, really? I was like, yeah. They're like, oh fuck. We were just gonna do it to like screw her.
[01:35:58] Speaker B: I'm like, no, I think what you did is way cooler.
The house across the street from me, they.
They bought it and moved in right around the time we moved back.
1.8 million.
And it ain't a mansion. So you know, that's.
[01:36:19] Speaker A: No, dude, that's the same thing that that my buddy did in California. He's like, dude, I just bought a million dollar house. And I'm like, oh, all right. So I go, look at it. I'm like, this is a four bedroom house. Yeah, like this.
[01:36:34] Speaker B: I mean it's 2500 and nicer than our house, but it, you know, whatever.
[01:36:41] Speaker A: So is that the one with the gate around it?
[01:36:44] Speaker B: No, it's next to that one, the two store.
[01:36:47] Speaker A: Cuz that one's a piece of shit.
[01:36:49] Speaker B: Yeah, it literally looks like an adobe from like a Mexican village. But the one next to it, you know, pretty good, pretty nice house. They fix it up a lot.
So these people bought it for 1.8.
They spent damn four months, I think, doing construction on the backyard. I mean, who knows how much fucking money they put into the backyard.
For sale sign popped up in the front yard just two weeks ago.
I looked it up on Zillow. They're selling it for 1.8.
I'm like, okay, so you're taking a bath on all the construction you did and now your realtor fee.
What the happened? And then, you know, I've, I'm not on good terms with him, so I wasn't talking to him. But my, my neighbor buddy talked to him and they're like, yeah, basically he got a job down in San Diego that they couldn't say no to and they just had to, they had to sell the house for like a hundred thousand dollar loss.
It's like, dude, oh, I'd kill myself.
And they paid cash too, so I know they're fucking rich, but still,
[01:38:05] Speaker A: it's a write off I guess, dude.
[01:38:08] Speaker B: But I mean I, I'm not joking when I say this. A hundred thousand dollars would solve every problem I have in life and set me up for success for the next 10 years.
And they just took a bag, have
[01:38:25] Speaker A: to have it all at once, bro.
[01:38:27] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah.
[01:38:29] Speaker A: You couldn't give me payments. You couldn't be like, hey, we're gonna give you, we're gonna give you, you know, 8,000amonth or 9,000amonth. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It'll solve my problems if I have it all right now.
[01:38:41] Speaker B: Yeah, if you give it to me all right now, I can pay off all my debt for about 50 and then I've got 50 to invest, save, put into whatever I need to put into to get a better career. I mean, I could make 50 stretch and they just let it go. It's crazy.
[01:39:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
That is nuts. Must be nice to have that kind of career where it's like, yeah, we just couldn't pass it up. It's that much where we said, hey, it's worth burning a hundred thousand.
[01:39:23] Speaker B: Yeah, the, the poorer I get.
I can feel the leftism just seeping into my body.
I am. I'm getting to the point of like kind of hating rich people who have done nothing wrong.
Like you, dude. You buy a house across the street from me for 2 million cash.
That's fucking nuts, dude.
[01:39:50] Speaker A: And you just put it. You do. You put a hundred thousand into it and then sell it.
[01:39:56] Speaker B: It's crazy.
But that also tells you where the.
[01:39:59] Speaker A: How are you.
How are you guys with. With your houses? Didn't your dad. Don't your mom and dad own like five houses?
[01:40:06] Speaker B: No.
They've got a couple of empty lots in Florida that they're probably gonna sell soon because they've built up like the whole area around the lots, but they've just got your old house and my old house as. As rental properties.
[01:40:27] Speaker A: Who's. Who's renting? Grandma's
[01:40:32] Speaker B: just some renter they found.
[01:40:35] Speaker A: Oh, right on. Yeah, right on.
[01:40:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:40:41] Speaker A: Yeah. That house I would take back. I'd go to that house again.
[01:40:45] Speaker B: Yeah, Well, I mean, after all the work you did on it, it's a cool house now. But I mean, I, I liked the retro feel because everything was super old in it, but it just wasn't like a practical layout.
But like, you really like.
[01:41:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:41:03] Speaker B: Made it feel more like a comfortable house, you know?
[01:41:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that house. That was a.
A neat little house. It'd be cool as a bachelor. Wasn't cool as a family, man.
[01:41:18] Speaker B: Why? Just because it was small.
[01:41:23] Speaker A: The. The community.
[01:41:25] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, yeah, because it used an older community, you know, 55 and up.
And then they like, stop.
[01:41:33] Speaker A: Yeah, it was, it was pretty much that when we moved there, dude.
[01:41:36] Speaker B: Yeah. So it was just weird because it's transitioning now to like 50 and 60 year old, you know, kids of these people who are dying off. So. So it's still not really like a young place, but like, you do see like younger people there now. But it took a long time to get to that transition.
So.
[01:41:59] Speaker A: Anyway, gave it to your neighbor.
[01:42:02] Speaker B: What?
[01:42:03] Speaker A: I should have gave it to your neighbor, man.
So I went over to her house to like, I forget ask her something or introduce myself. And like she opened the door all sweat, sweaty little, just wiping herself. Little small top, little tiny skirt.
And she never wore panties with her skirts.
But she was an older woman.
But she was like. When I say older, she was probably in her 50s, but she was ready for a wrecking, bro. She was, she was asking for and she was. She had a banging body for a 50 year old dude.
[01:42:38] Speaker B: I Never heard about this.
I never heard person.
[01:42:42] Speaker A: She was there maybe a month and moved. She sold it to, like, the weird fucking lady that moved in, or the couple sold to the couple that came in, like, remodeled everything. Or the weird lady next door that did the fucking litter garage on fire with the kiln or whatever she did.
Yeah, the lady next door, like, smokes coming out of her garage. And I'm like, dude, what do you have? I'd like, go banging her. I'm like, what do you have in your garage, bro? Like, it's on fire.
And. Yeah, she was fucking. She had a kiln plugged in that fucking blew a circuit and fucking lit the garage on fire.
[01:43:23] Speaker B: That's not. I never heard about that. How far away from your garage?
[01:43:27] Speaker A: She had a total. Her car.
It's the one next to the parking lot spots.
[01:43:32] Speaker B: Oh, okay. So there wasn't much of a risk
[01:43:35] Speaker A: of your right across from. From. From ours. It's the one right across.
So.
[01:43:40] Speaker B: Yeah. So there wasn't like an immediate risk to you, but that's getting pretty close to the house.
That's.
[01:43:46] Speaker A: Well, it was. Yeah. I mean, like, it was just, you know, you open the door and you see, like, billows of smoke coming out of the little vents.
And then she totaled her car because it had smoke damage. Like it was right next to her car.
[01:43:58] Speaker B: What an idiot.
[01:44:00] Speaker A: Yeah, that's kind of what I said. Fucking women, dude. Fucking women. 30. That's why they're 30 cents an hour less, dude.
[01:44:07] Speaker B: And. And you know what? You know why she made that mistake? Because she was trying to have a hobby. This has been pseudonyms, everybody.
Can you believe that? This show is a hundred percent scripted, dude.
[01:44:30] Speaker A: It's hard to follow the script sometimes. Dude, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna lie. I'm like, man, I gotta make this sound real natural.
All right, man, I gotta get up, hit the gym, and go to a job. Walk.
Love you, brother.
[01:44:45] Speaker B: I love you, man. Take it easy. This has been super, everybody.
