00:00:43
Hey, guys. What's going on, man?
00:00:46
What's up? I'm excited to have someone in
00:00:50
our guest chair today and we will talk to him in a second.
00:00:52
His name is also Ryan, so I think we decided on RB.
00:00:56
If that works, I'm not gonna remember that.
00:00:58
But if if I'm calling you Ryan, I think people will figure it
00:01:02
out. If Trey says it, he needs to be
00:01:04
the one to say RB. Is that right?
00:01:06
Can you remember that? About what?
00:01:09
Yeah. Yes.
00:01:10
That's exactly why you're on the show.
00:01:12
I wanted to update you really fast before we get talking to
00:01:14
Ryan that we've gone back and forth with our male listeners
00:01:19
and our female listeners. We talked about this Spotify.
00:01:22
Now we have no listeners those they're all it's all going down
00:01:27
the Spotify analytics that I'm sure are spot on, spot on.
00:01:33
Now I'm pissing off our host. Just get everybody out of there.
00:01:38
Has is now claiming that the the women have caught back up.
00:01:41
Nice. And I think it's because we
00:01:43
apologize for anything we might have said.
00:01:46
Did we? So we apologize for for the next
00:01:49
shows. Yes.
00:01:50
Also I put, I put up that last show.
00:01:53
I don't know if if you heard yet, Ryan.
00:01:55
We talked a little bit about a Black lives Matter organizer who
00:02:00
claimed that looting was OK because of reparations and it
00:02:05
was this big serious topic and it's one that I think we we need
00:02:10
to talk about. And so I knew I I knew posting
00:02:13
this was gonna get a reaction. I posted a little clip of it on
00:02:15
YouTube and it is split. I mean it really 50% likes 50%
00:02:20
dislikes and no bad comments that most of them were like
00:02:24
screw Black lives Matter. I was like, OK well that's not
00:02:26
what we're going for either here buddy.
00:02:27
So anyway I thought that was interesting that you know the
00:02:32
our name stay in the Gray, Ryan. That is is about as Gray as it
00:02:36
gets 50%. I don't know if that's.
00:02:38
I think we need to side with somebody, don't you think?
00:02:41
Possibly. Anyway, Hey, my man.
00:02:43
Glad to have you here. Thanks for having me.
00:02:45
I'm glad to be here. Yes, Sir.
00:02:46
Yeah. What do you think of our our
00:02:48
podcast name? I think you would like to poke
00:02:50
fun at it. I don't.
00:02:52
I've never poked fun at it. I think it's a good name.
00:02:54
It's clever. I mean, it's unique.
00:02:56
I haven't heard anything like it, so it's good.
00:02:58
I don't think we. I'm not gonna lie.
00:02:59
There, it's intuitive too. I think having Ryan on the
00:03:01
show's gonna help Our Lady listeners out.
00:03:03
And you're watching. He looks.
00:03:04
He looks sharp today. Oh, thank you.
00:03:07
Yeah, like the glasses. I'm coming from an event.
00:03:10
Things So my kids cool. I I love it because I don't
00:03:14
think we've had another dad on here yet.
00:03:16
Oh yeah. Tim Tim Timmy airline pilot.
00:03:18
Timmy was on here but his kids are his kids are like yours are
00:03:23
yours are about. My kids age.
00:03:24
So I think you and I can, yeah, get along.
00:03:27
I mean, he could probably relate to, you know, like where's our.
00:03:31
It's just fresher, you know, We're at the same spot.
00:03:33
Yeah. You're enjoying fatherhood, I'm
00:03:35
sure. Yeah, it's good.
00:03:37
I mean, it's like I. You know, I'm growing a lot too
00:03:41
in the process. You know, it's like it's an
00:03:44
important responsibility. It's like I've, I've like,
00:03:47
involuntarily introduced these people into the world and I have
00:03:50
to make sure that they are prepared for it and that they
00:03:55
are good contributors to society, you know, and that's
00:03:58
like, it's not just sending them to school.
00:04:00
It's like making sure they're not jerks.
00:04:03
But also like, I'm just inherently not a very patient
00:04:06
person and. And not by choice, you know?
00:04:10
And I've like, I'll, I'll take any sort of method to to make it
00:04:14
better. And I probably haven't seeked
00:04:15
them out enough, but I think kids have helped me become more
00:04:18
patient. That's well, that's how I feel
00:04:20
about mine. I mean, honestly.
00:04:22
And my and I and my wife too, that, you know, let's give her
00:04:24
some. I mean, it makes me, makes me
00:04:26
better, makes me a better man. It's teaching me stuff.
00:04:29
Like you just said that I never, I never would have learned
00:04:32
otherwise, Right. Yeah.
00:04:33
I think it also makes me a little bit of a better
00:04:35
collaborator with work and like a little bit better of a boss.
00:04:39
Yeah, like, not that, which sounds terrible because it's not
00:04:42
that employees are children, but you just learn to be more
00:04:47
patient with people and just being different personalities,
00:04:50
you know, It's like you just can't have the same expectations
00:04:53
for everybody. And that's the same thing with
00:04:54
like your relationship with your spouse.
00:04:56
You know it's. Like, I have a way I want to do
00:04:59
things. She has a way she wants to do
00:05:00
things. There are certain things that I
00:05:03
think you should compromise on, but you just can't expect
00:05:05
everything to be a compromise, right?
00:05:07
You're not saying that your employees or children.
00:05:09
No, absolutely not. Absolutely.
00:05:12
I'm just. Joking.
00:05:12
No, I'm just saying I'm joking. But you definitely have to talk
00:05:16
to him in different ways. You can't talk to him the same
00:05:18
way as you would another person. It's just like.
00:05:21
Expecting results and then being patient about the expectations
00:05:25
that's that's really the only that's the only applicable
00:05:27
thing. It's like, OK, Perry, you know,
00:05:30
it's my daughter. I'm like, Perry, will you pick
00:05:31
up, You know you you finished your food.
00:05:33
OK, well let's go put it on the counter.
00:05:35
She's like, well, I need to build a Unicorn first, right?
00:05:37
Well, yeah. So Trey has to do that before.
00:05:40
Then I don't want to stop with your creativity.
00:05:42
Let's see this Unicorn. Okay, That's good Unicorn.
00:05:45
Those pick up, and she always picks it up eventually,
00:05:47
eventually. It's not like.
00:05:48
She's maybe a couple days later, but it happens.
00:05:50
She's definitely sneaky, though. She's gonna be a good
00:05:52
negotiator. I think that's the difference
00:05:54
between boys and girls. Maybe she cleans it up and all
00:05:56
that. Eventually.
00:05:58
OK, well, she still needs a teacher.
00:06:00
That's. I mean, we've got a buddy of
00:06:01
ours that into his 30s living at home and would literally have
00:06:06
his TV tray sitting in front of him finish his food.
00:06:09
He would slide back on his bed. And his mom would come in, take
00:06:13
the TV tray, clean up for him. Oh, I know what we're talking
00:06:16
about. Like, still.
00:06:17
Yeah. Wow.
00:06:18
Fucking. Kidding.
00:06:19
Well, it's still it it I think, but we were in our 30s.
00:06:23
This happened in this. This was recent.
00:06:25
This was very recent. Yeah, we and we were 30 or.
00:06:27
Before he. Before he met his wife?
00:06:29
Yeah, this. And I'm not far behind.
00:06:30
The the clothes. His, his clothes hamper was
00:06:33
right outside his door. Yet he would throw the clothes
00:06:35
right in front of his door. His mom was, you know, pick him
00:06:38
up, put him in the clothes hamper for him.
00:06:39
So yeah, we told his wife, you know.
00:06:42
Hey, this is what you're gonna be doing.
00:06:44
And sure enough, she's oh she. Is a new mom.
00:06:47
Yeah, I wonder if she, I was wondering if she like, whipped
00:06:50
him into shape or whatever, but. Yeah, a little bit.
00:06:52
Well, he. And then he had scamp on it and
00:06:54
shoot him. Yeah, he had.
00:06:56
He, you know, ultimately had kids and so maybe maybe he's
00:06:59
helping him. You know, we we need to maybe
00:07:00
have him on. We've brought him up a lot.
00:07:02
Yeah, on the stuff that he's done so well.
00:07:06
I'm gonna get to to why we brought Ryan on the show here in
00:07:09
a second, but first, if anybody was watching the show, which
00:07:15
apparently. Hopefully we'll keep Ryan on the
00:07:18
show after you read these questions.
00:07:20
I just thought we'd have some fun.
00:07:21
It's not going to be quite as thought the last.
00:07:24
I thought the last time we tried this it was a little got a
00:07:26
little awkward. Well, when Tim sat in my lap or
00:07:30
what? Yeah.
00:07:31
Anybody that that listened to the pilot Tim episode Trey and
00:07:35
Tim had a rather they had a little romance over there right.
00:07:38
So I don't know if I don't know if it's like what's going on.
00:07:40
So be careful is all what I'm saying you only.
00:07:42
Live once, man Right. So.
00:07:45
So these are just kind of fun and and it's.
00:07:47
Would you rather do it have sex. Thanks to Clara.
00:07:52
Coitus Coit, Yeah. Would you rather fornicate on
00:07:56
the monkey bars or the seesaw? Seesaw would be hard.
00:08:00
How do you do that without the counterbound being two couples?
00:08:04
Oh, that could work. OK, look at you well.
00:08:07
I'm just saying otherwise it's just you're on a like horizontal
00:08:09
board or the uncomfortable center part which let's not
00:08:12
going to do it. Monkey bars.
00:08:14
Put the bar. Yeah, Monkey bars.
00:08:16
Yeah. I would just.
00:08:17
I would see a really strong picturing it logistically.
00:08:19
I would just think monkey bars. Yeah.
00:08:21
You're going to you need upper body strength to do it.
00:08:23
Well, no. I'm talking about the woman to
00:08:24
hold me. I'm not holding her up.
00:08:26
I was. I was.
00:08:27
I was thinking you both hold. I like the demonstration.
00:08:31
You're both of your hands are holding and then the you know
00:08:34
the coitus part meets in the middle the coitus part.
00:08:37
This might be the most intelligent thing that we've
00:08:39
ever said in the Lazy. Though I'm, I'm well then you
00:08:42
can ride. Just yeah.
00:08:42
And you can ride a seesaw just sitting there.
00:08:44
Or you just lay on top of the monkey bars.
00:08:47
Whatever. My luck is I'd fall off and hurt
00:08:48
myself. Yeah, I'm.
00:08:49
I'm going monkey bars. We're on monkey bars.
00:08:51
Any in any seesaw I think. Either way, you're getting on a
00:08:54
on a list after this because you're on a playground, yeah?
00:08:56
That's true part stupid idea. Go in the covered swirly swing,
00:09:02
the slide or whatever that thing.
00:09:04
Is no more. No more handing out candy for
00:09:05
trick or treaters after that. How about sex on your parents
00:09:08
bed when they are out or in the room adjacent to your parents
00:09:12
room separated by one wall while they're home?
00:09:14
How old are you? Let's just say.
00:09:17
You know what? Yeah, let's go back a little
00:09:19
bit, right. It's not now.
00:09:21
I did that with my first wife, so I'm not even surprised.
00:09:23
Yeah, OK. I mean, I wouldn't care at this
00:09:26
point. Yeah, I'm with you, I think, but
00:09:28
when you're. I mean, I'm not nicely embellish
00:09:30
it or anything, but like everybody, yeah, everybody okay.
00:09:33
I would encourage them to do the same.
00:09:34
You know what? Thank you.
00:09:35
That was a. Way to see which one gets the
00:09:37
loudest. That was a way to say that that
00:09:38
was a stupid question. So thank you.
00:09:41
This is why Ryan's on it, where he's going to talk business with
00:09:44
us. He's going to talk nice ideas
00:09:46
and things that are probably over our heads A.
00:09:47
Little bit, yeah. We'll see.
00:09:49
I'll pretend I've. Had some bad ideas.
00:09:50
I'm very good. Just smiling.
00:09:51
I'm very good at going. Yeah.
00:09:53
Yeah. Oh yeah.
00:09:54
I'm like, he's going to make shit up and we're just going to
00:09:56
be like, yeah, I agree with that.
00:09:59
I think I've already done that like three times.
00:10:01
So, all right, this one's kind of fun on a bed of nails.
00:10:05
Oh, we're still going or I've got yeah this is the last one on
00:10:08
a bed of nails in private sexy romantic or on a luxuriously
00:10:15
soft bed at mattress discounters during Columbus Day sale.
00:10:20
So basically do you like to be watched?
00:10:21
Well we know your answer yeah. Previous show or you want the
00:10:27
intimacy but you can can you navigate through the the pain I
00:10:31
guess. I don't.
00:10:32
I don't. I don't know.
00:10:33
Was there an Option C? Take a nap.
00:10:36
Let's make an option C Take a nap.
00:10:38
I I mean, I would. I'll tell you what, I'm not
00:10:41
saying I would do the bed of nails, but I would, I would
00:10:43
attempt. I've never tried to lay down on
00:10:45
a bed of nails. I'd be curious what that feels
00:10:47
like because the the it's it's dispersing your weight.
00:10:51
So it might actually not hurt. I'm not saying I would have sex
00:10:53
on the bed of nails, but if if the if it was presented, I'd
00:10:57
say, well let me let me test out this bed of nails and then I
00:10:59
would say, Nah, I'm good and just quit the whole thing so the
00:11:02
next. So who would be on top the next
00:11:03
time? The nails?
00:11:04
That's the point. The next time he comes on,
00:11:06
there's gonna be a bed of nails. We're gonna figure this shit out
00:11:08
outside and we're gonna go and I.
00:11:09
Would lay on it, but just to lay on it I wanna try like.
00:11:13
I would try. Well, it's all about learning.
00:11:15
I mean you you learn that a bed of nails fucking hurts or it
00:11:17
doesn't. I think it's how you get on it.
00:11:21
You know, like because you're standing on it with your foot,
00:11:23
that's all of your weight on your foot.
00:11:25
So it's like 5 nails. If you get on there kind of
00:11:28
slowly, you know, that's like 200 nails.
00:11:30
So each the pressure on each one of those nails is 100 times less
00:11:34
than if it was just your foot, like.
00:11:37
So it's about just. Let me write this down.
00:11:39
You have a calculator? Yeah, Write that down.
00:11:40
That's some deep shit. That's a lot of math right
00:11:42
there. Yeah.
00:11:44
Physics. Yeah.
00:11:45
I don't know what I'm going to need to know that.
00:11:47
But I you know what? I think there's going to be a
00:11:48
time and I'm going to be like. There better be multiple
00:11:51
choices, Ryan. Yeah, this is the last thing I
00:11:54
have on on this kind of a thing. I have a question for Trey.
00:11:57
We've, I think he answered it at some point, but I'm going to ask
00:11:59
it again. But before I do, do you have a
00:12:02
man crush in Hollywood? I don't know if it's a you know,
00:12:08
there's like a I'm a big Arnold. I threw this at you.
00:12:10
Oh, you're an Arnold. A big Arnold fan, but I don't
00:12:14
know if it's like a crush. I just respect the hell out of
00:12:16
that guy. I actually watched his
00:12:19
documentary. It was pretty.
00:12:20
It was so good. And I've read, you know, I've,
00:12:22
I've knew a lot about him prior to that, and I was surprised at
00:12:26
how much more of a story it had to tell.
00:12:29
And I don't know if it was that he was holding things back or
00:12:31
what, but it was he's done some things, he's done some I didn't.
00:12:35
Realize he'd made that much money before he was a.
00:12:37
Millionaire before he ever started act.
00:12:39
Yeah, just just on the real estate.
00:12:42
Just on the real estate, yeah, I thought.
00:12:43
Like the Joe Weider was like, yeah, get into real estate, like
00:12:46
the financing leverage ratio is super low and like everything's
00:12:50
flying up. So just do it, you put in a
00:12:52
little cash over here or? Was it That was in California?
00:12:55
He was buying apartment complexes, Yeah.
00:12:57
And then also at the same time, he and Franco Columbu were brick
00:13:01
layers. What And when they weren't
00:13:03
training and they would go in there and they'd be like, it'd
00:13:07
be like one's the the the tough European one's the, you know,
00:13:10
good cop good cop, bad cop. And like we are, we are the
00:13:13
European brick layers. We'll come in here and we'll lay
00:13:16
your bricks and we're going to make it look very nice.
00:13:18
And then one of them would start yelling and the other one would
00:13:20
be like, I'm sorry, he's very upset.
00:13:22
This is too cheap. But I I work with him and we'll
00:13:24
give you a good price. It'd be good.
00:13:26
It'd be fantastic. And then like they made a bunch
00:13:29
of money doing that too. He's just like a.
00:13:32
Very charismatic guy, but a pretty smart businessman at the
00:13:34
same time. And then he was like selling the
00:13:37
hell out of like, you know, like exercise equipment all over the
00:13:40
world. Like just a very impressive guy.
00:13:43
Very well. Now he's doing a, now he's doing
00:13:46
a a newsletter that Trey gets and he gets really excited.
00:13:49
When is it weekly or biweekly? It's daily.
00:13:53
That can't be on. Yeah, gotta be a team or?
00:13:55
Daily motivation, stuff about nutrition and health and myths
00:14:00
about working out. It felt like he was with us
00:14:02
there for a minute. Was there something going on and
00:14:04
something? Does he talk about so my
00:14:07
understanding and I don't like follow him daily and.
00:14:10
Admit it, I don't really get on social media that much and it
00:14:13
seems like he's like uses that as a good marketing angle.
00:14:15
But well, he obviously pushed. He's got an Arnold's podcast on
00:14:19
here too that he pushes too. So nice.
00:14:21
Yeah, but he did, I did hear that he's kind of shifted to
00:14:25
more of a plant based diet and it could be because of his age,
00:14:29
you know, but he was very much a proponent of like you know,
00:14:32
animal based protein and getting like 1 gram per pound of body.
00:14:36
Body weight and that's like how you you build muscle and it
00:14:39
seems like you should. I'm just curious if he ever
00:14:40
talks about that and. I I might have missed that
00:14:43
that's well to me that the the diet thing is really interesting
00:14:46
because obviously and and we I think Ryan we have some mutual
00:14:50
friends that that have go go a different direction than I do
00:14:53
which is meat and protein and you know my wife's big into the
00:14:57
protein thing and and to hear that guy like Arnold went plant
00:15:02
based is crazy to me I mean. Well, it's not too crazy.
00:15:05
Cop got a buddy of mine. He's crazy to me to hear it.
00:15:08
Well, and I've got a buddy of mine that just got into well,
00:15:11
started bodybuilding and stuff like he was already a a pretty
00:15:13
thick guy leaned out. And he's a vegan, you know, so
00:15:16
he does a lot of the. You know, vegan supplements, it
00:15:19
seems like it would be hard, hard to get it in, Like not
00:15:22
impossible, but more difficult, right?
00:15:24
I would think, yeah, I've done whole 30 for like 7 years.
00:15:27
Oh man. Good for you, whole 30.
00:15:28
Well, it's like I say that as I'm taking a sip of a beer.
00:15:31
You know, it's like my I I won't put that that shot.
00:15:34
Hurry, take a sip. There you go.
00:15:35
No, no, no. You can put it in the no.
00:15:37
But it's like, I do like the inverse.
00:15:40
I think of maybe what's the typical diet mindset?
00:15:42
It's like I'm going to diet. For this amount of time and see
00:15:47
if I get results, I do. Whole 30 is my baseline and then
00:15:51
I cheat. I spend as much time cheating as
00:15:54
most people spend dieting, and it's just like a healthier
00:15:58
inverse, I think. And I have a hard time.
00:16:00
I say I'll cheat once every three weeks, maybe four, and
00:16:04
then I'll cheat once and I'm like the next night I'm like,
00:16:06
oh, it'll be a two day cheat, it'll be fine.
00:16:08
And then it's it just go it turns into.
00:16:10
Football season is where a football's football's hard.
00:16:13
Well, we won't talk about football because you're not a
00:16:14
big football guy, are you? I'm not.
00:16:16
No. My.
00:16:16
I'm like the anomaly in my family.
00:16:18
My dad played college football. He was pretty good.
00:16:22
He turned down. Was he at LSU?
00:16:24
No, at SMUSMU 74 to 77, because you're ALSU guy, right?
00:16:28
Well, I'm from Baton Rouge, but you know, I went to the yes, me,
00:16:32
of course. And both my brothers are very
00:16:36
good at sports. They're just a little smaller.
00:16:38
Not that I'm big or I'm just a little bigger, you know?
00:16:41
And yeah, I don't know. I just didn't care.
00:16:43
I just don't care. But I like going.
00:16:45
I have, you know, I have like tickets.
00:16:47
I I love it. You know I love.
00:16:49
I just don't follow the stats. I don't care.
00:16:51
I'd rather you say that. I know a guy and he it's really
00:16:55
funny, 'cause he just acts like he knows just because that's
00:16:58
what guys are, everybody's talking about.
00:16:59
So he gets in there and he kind of nuzzles into, Oh yeah, yeah.
00:17:02
And it'll say something and it's like that's that doesn't make
00:17:05
any sense that that didn't happen or something like that.
00:17:08
I'm just like, feel bad for that guy.
00:17:09
Although you you're you're totally.
00:17:12
I don't know. Like, you can remember, OK, I
00:17:14
played this golf course like five years ago on hole four.
00:17:18
I remember my second shot, put it about 30 yards out, and I'm
00:17:21
like, what the? I have a good sports memory.
00:17:23
It's really strange, like I don't remember football plays
00:17:25
from a game six years ago, right?
00:17:27
That's what I'm saying. You know, if it hadn't been for
00:17:29
that one, you know third down conversion in the second quarter
00:17:33
in 1985, then they might not have won that game.
00:17:36
Would you like me to pick a game and?
00:17:38
It it might have something to do with how you process memories so
00:17:41
you know. Are you aware of the concept of
00:17:43
a memory palace? No.
00:17:44
So if the this is an oversimplification, but you
00:17:47
basically visualize a room in your house where you know where
00:17:50
everything is and you associate things that you're trying to
00:17:53
memorize with certain items in that room.
00:17:55
So if there's like a grocery list, you put it with like the
00:17:58
lamp is the milk. The chairs, the eggs, you know,
00:18:02
the the side table is the tomatoes or whatever.
00:18:08
And you visualize it that way. And then you'd go two years and
00:18:11
you'll remember that list. And it could be that you in like
00:18:14
a like in a sports realm. It kind of creates a sort of
00:18:18
like restructured memory palace that makes it really easy for
00:18:21
you to remember these facts. I like it.
00:18:24
Maybe the Scotch is bowl when the vodka is the second Super
00:18:30
Bowl. Win the I mean.
00:18:32
Look it up sometime, it's like crazy.
00:18:34
What people can remember that? What was it?
00:18:35
Some memory. Memory Palace.
00:18:37
I like it. Try try write that shit down.
00:18:39
Well, just like, I mean, just like wives or or girlfriends.
00:18:42
In my case, you know, they remember random shit that you
00:18:45
might have said, you know, three months ago, and they're better
00:18:48
you. Know you're sleeping on the
00:18:49
couch. It's like, what the fuck?
00:18:50
You know what? They store it up.
00:18:51
They, they it's. Like, and you really can't just
00:18:54
say. You didn't say that.
00:18:55
You know, you go, our female listeners.
00:18:57
There you go. Yeah.
00:18:59
Yeah. Or the worst is you get in
00:19:00
trouble, they have a bad dream, and then it's about you.
00:19:03
And I was like, I was not. That was not real.
00:19:05
I was like, have a dream. Yeah.
00:19:06
Like, why are you mad at me? I don't.
00:19:07
Yeah. There's a Friends episode about
00:19:09
that. Yeah, there was one at one time
00:19:12
somebody I was dating, you know, I did it.
00:19:14
And I had a girlfriend, but a couple before my wife.
00:19:17
What? Yeah, that's not allowed.
00:19:19
I know at all. But I just remember one day I
00:19:21
was getting yelled at because she's like, I had a dream that
00:19:24
you cheated in it. I just can't get over it.
00:19:26
I'm like. Oh, shit.
00:19:29
You admitted right there that it was a dream.
00:19:32
Like, let's let's readdress that.
00:19:35
Yeah. So anyway, But I mean, I've had
00:19:37
dreams like that too. And they said they suck.
00:19:39
Yeah, they're real. You wake up and you're like
00:19:42
you're acting fishy today. I tell you what, it was very
00:19:45
weird my second marriage. For the about last year, year
00:19:49
and a half, I had a lot of dreams about her leaving me,
00:19:52
kicking me out, having to move into a new place by myself and
00:19:56
just how that was going to go and stuff like that.
00:19:58
And sure enough, boom. You know, so that was weird,
00:20:01
those. Are the ones that are weird.
00:20:02
Is that when the one you know and I've had some of those two
00:20:05
where you you dream of something like what the hell?
00:20:06
And then and then something very similar kind of goes on, right?
00:20:10
Where do you think you're like, the stress of your relationship?
00:20:14
Like you were like seeing the signals, but your dream was
00:20:16
trying to tell you this is like, this is coming.
00:20:18
Yeah, like, 'cause it wasn't. We were off for about two years.
00:20:21
And so I just started wondering, OK, is this, you know, is she
00:20:25
pulling away? And so that might have led to
00:20:28
the dreams of her moving out or me having to move out and stuff
00:20:32
like that. So I'm sure that probably had a
00:20:33
lot to do with it too. So sorry, I'm sure that was.
00:20:36
Trust. Well, I don't think.
00:20:36
I don't think it helped. She.
00:20:38
Yeah, well yeah, no matter what said from here.
00:20:41
Well, and honestly, it was. The night time, daytime to me
00:20:45
was that had to be really hard. She worked.
00:20:47
She worked opposite shifts, so she worked night shift.
00:20:49
I worked day shifts. So we were always just passing
00:20:51
each other, you know, it's like we'd have.
00:20:52
Maybe that's worse than, like a long distance relationship
00:20:55
because at least you get, like, to see each other well, and the
00:20:58
majority of that time when we were bad, it was during COVID.
00:21:02
So she's a respiratory therapist.
00:21:04
So, you know, I couldn't sit there while she's seeing this
00:21:07
shit at the hospital and come home.
00:21:08
Oh, please love me. Please hold me, you know.
00:21:10
So I was just kind of waiting, waiting that out to, you know,
00:21:14
settle down and then. Then let's face it, you You have
00:21:16
needs. It did not work.
00:21:18
You have needs. So I built my forearms up pretty
00:21:20
nicely during that time period. But massages?
00:21:23
Yeah, massaging myself. I thought you meant like, giving
00:21:29
her back. Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:21:32
No, no, I mean that would that would make too much sense for
00:21:34
it. I bought her a foot massage
00:21:36
machine, you heard him say. Divorced, Right.
00:21:38
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:39
No. So it could have been.
00:21:40
Well, we don't. We don't call it the we.
00:21:42
We. We call them successful divorce
00:21:44
there we go, not a not failed marriage if.
00:21:47
Not if you're not happy, you know.
00:21:49
Well, well, let's look, I want to get to you.
00:21:51
I mean, This is why I like, I like that you're here is because
00:21:54
you know I've I've had plenty of times where this has happened.
00:21:58
We just go off and and talk about a lot of interesting
00:22:01
stuff. In fact, one of the first
00:22:02
conversations I've ever had with you.
00:22:04
I don't know if you remember it, no, we won't go into detail, but
00:22:06
it was in North SC. It was in Charleston,
00:22:08
Charleston. It was in the bar at the hotel.
00:22:11
And all the other pussies had gone to bed.
00:22:12
Yeah, I remember the glass, the beer glass.
00:22:15
It was like a smaller beer. It was like it was a cool beer
00:22:18
glass. It had a like a.
00:22:19
Hand I think I remember that I. Remember a little detail.
00:22:21
Yeah, there you go. See, I remember sports
00:22:22
statistics and you remember Glass.
00:22:24
I remember beers, hotel bars and we we had this conversation and
00:22:28
what I liked about and this kind of leads into just you as a
00:22:31
person. What I liked about about the
00:22:33
conversation with you is that you didn't ask me questions that
00:22:39
everybody asks you didn't you don't, you didn't look at me And
00:22:42
when you found out that I was a writer and then I had a master's
00:22:44
in writing and then I've been creative writing and then I had
00:22:47
lived in Scotland, you weren't like, oh, how is Scotland or or
00:22:51
what do you write? It was.
00:22:53
So what are you trying? To say it was when you.
00:22:56
I like your don't worry you can ask me those things Tray when
00:23:00
you ask me questions it was they were deep it was like OK and it
00:23:04
let's go to the next layer already and and and I'll get the
00:23:07
I'll get these other answers through this this question
00:23:10
versus starting starting easy. He dug right in I was like whoa
00:23:14
and it was really fun and I enjoyed that conversation and
00:23:16
I've always told my wife I said that that that's why you know we
00:23:19
got to get him on here because and look what's happened and I
00:23:22
love it already. I mean, we've talked.
00:23:25
Trey and I have talked recently on this show about our list of
00:23:28
this is how we're going to do the show our our set list we
00:23:30
call it as like we're a rock band and if throw this thing
00:23:34
out, I mean tonight with you especially in a good way.
00:23:38
I don't, I mean I'm not even. I mean I have a few things I'm
00:23:40
going to touch on but but this is great and so I want to ask
00:23:45
you about, I know it's difficult because I know that you consider
00:23:50
yourself an entrepreneur. Trey, you need to look.
00:23:53
We need to look that up. How do you spell that?
00:23:56
I could do it if I could write it down for.
00:23:58
NT oh, here we go. Why no entrepreneur?
00:24:02
Oh. I like it.
00:24:04
That's your new handle on on on Adult Friend Finder.
00:24:09
There we go. So, but you've done a lot and
00:24:13
you've done a lot. You've explored a lot and that's
00:24:15
what I I want to hear about and talk about a little bit.
00:24:19
You know, if somebody looks at you right now, and I don't, I
00:24:21
don't, admittedly, and that's about being a bad friend.
00:24:23
But admittedly, I'm not sure exactly what you do day-to-day.
00:24:25
So somebody looked at you and said what do you do in your
00:24:28
life? They people say for a living,
00:24:30
what do you do for a living? What would you respond with?
00:24:34
Well, right now in this moment I OK.
00:24:37
So it's funny that for the timing I we were supposed to
00:24:43
finish pinning it today. I think maybe we'll we'll wrap
00:24:47
up some contracts tomorrow and really, really close on Monday.
00:24:50
But I just finished a three-year search.
00:24:53
I've been looking for a company to buy and I just bought a I'm
00:24:56
in the process of finishing buying a logistics company.
00:24:59
Whoa. Wow.
00:25:00
So that's what an entrepreneur does.
00:25:02
So, I mean, I'll get into the you know what led me here?
00:25:06
But I basically set out about three years ago on a mission to
00:25:11
find something unsexy. But integral to our economy
00:25:17
that, you know, was a little bit antiquated and needed a little
00:25:23
bit of sophistication that no one was really looking at, you
00:25:26
know, so this is like the companies where.
00:25:29
They, their kids don't really want it, you know, and they just
00:25:33
kind of don't get it. And I don't, I don't think they
00:25:34
get money, frankly. I think most people don't
00:25:36
understand money to be honest. But yeah, so it was like I
00:25:40
would, I would find people and I'd, I'd say, you know I'd get
00:25:44
the, the, the big numbers on their on the performance of the
00:25:47
business and how long they've been around and and what they
00:25:49
do. And I'd see if it seems like,
00:25:52
yeah, this is something to be around, like I looked at a
00:25:53
garbage company. In Oklahoma and they owned the
00:25:56
full stack. They had the landfill, they had
00:25:58
the trucks, the routes, everything.
00:26:00
Their the valuation was too high.
00:26:02
And I also didn't want to move to Oklahoma.
00:26:04
So I didn't do that. And I looked at 30.
00:26:06
This is the 36th company I looked at when I sat on one for
00:26:10
a year. I really tried to make this
00:26:11
medical device company work that I still really like.
00:26:14
It just wasn't right. But you know it was like I'm the
00:26:18
son you never had. I'm going to come in, I'm going
00:26:20
to do some MBA stuff, put some fresh blood into this.
00:26:23
I'm going to keep what you've built growing and you know that
00:26:25
MBA stuff that like sophistication, adding software,
00:26:28
adding like modernizing things, that's low hanging fruit to
00:26:32
increase the margin, you know. So you purchase a company and
00:26:36
I'm probably going in too many details, but basically you can
00:26:39
you can buy a company based on on.
00:26:42
Current performance that will steadily grow.
00:26:44
You can improve that performance and you can out, you can outpace
00:26:48
your financing servicing. So you really don't have to put
00:26:51
that much money down to buy something.
00:26:53
It's called like acquisition, entrepreneurship or a search
00:26:56
fund. I'm very excited about it.
00:26:59
Trade our seminars on that. No, but look, every other
00:27:02
weekend, I've always, I've always been an entrepreneur.
00:27:05
You know, I was like the the lemonade stem and I was little.
00:27:09
And then, you know, I grew up in South Louisiana and I was.
00:27:12
I always had some sort of job, like I worked a lot of
00:27:14
construction, you know, cutting grass and then you know, senior
00:27:19
year a couple of buddies of mine and I, we put together a
00:27:22
business plan. We got a loan from the bank when
00:27:24
we were, you know, just turned 18.
00:27:26
To buy a snow cone stand, which we call them snowballs down
00:27:31
there at anyone listening from Louisiana.
00:27:33
I'm sorry I called a snow, but that's a translation thing.
00:27:35
Yeah, that's the that's the rivalry between Louisiana and
00:27:39
Texas. No, there's snowballs.
00:27:40
Snowballs. That's a cone.
00:27:41
It's a snowball. It's a cup with a ball on top.
00:27:44
But snowballs are also a product that are pink and have like
00:27:48
like. Cream in the middle.
00:27:49
You don't talk about little. That's.
00:27:50
Garbage has this nonsense, but it's like.
00:27:53
Anyway, I've always, I've always been into, I've always been into
00:27:56
starting companies. And then, you know, over time,
00:28:00
you know, I went to college and I did not study entrepreneurship
00:28:03
or business, and I kind of got back to it at the end.
00:28:07
I went in there, 'cause it's like, you go to college,
00:28:09
everybody tells you to college and it's like, what are you good
00:28:11
at? And I was like, well, I'm, I'm
00:28:12
good at math and science. And I'd so I did, you know,
00:28:16
engineering and math or my degrees.
00:28:18
And then I finished and I was like, yeah, I don't really want
00:28:21
to do this. You know, I I wanted to be like
00:28:24
Doc Brown. I wanted to be like building
00:28:27
like amazing things. And the the reality of an
00:28:30
engineer is that like you're like a relatively, you know,
00:28:35
highly paid in the beginning, but you know, kind of a low
00:28:38
ceiling. Laborer designing a component of
00:28:42
something. And it just wasn't what I wanted
00:28:45
to be. And and that kind of influenced
00:28:49
me. Realizing that, you know, and
00:28:51
this is somewhat of a pretentious way to describe
00:28:54
being an entrepreneur, but I think every most people are
00:28:56
artists and I think my medium is just like businesses.
00:29:01
Like that's where I want to create and do stuff I just like.
00:29:04
I I got really into cooking. And I grew up in Louisiana.
00:29:08
Everybody's into cooking. Everybody in my family cooked.
00:29:10
And I was like, well, these nerds are going to cook for me.
00:29:12
When am I going to step foot in the kitchen?
00:29:14
It's like a buddy that didn't need to do his laundry.
00:29:16
Yeah. And yeah, it's, you know, but
00:29:18
once you take away the, you know, the servant, then you get
00:29:21
good at something. So you know, I got into really,
00:29:24
I got into it during whole 30 because it's simplified things
00:29:26
because there are only so many ingredients.
00:29:28
You have to be really good at them.
00:29:30
But anyway, I kind of obsessed over chicken.
00:29:32
And I was like, my chicken sucks.
00:29:34
I had some good chicken at a restaurant.
00:29:35
I obsessed over it for months and I ended up making this
00:29:40
rotisserie chicken which anyone listening that wants to
00:29:42
challenge me, I will make a. You're the better.
00:29:45
I have make the I've never had a better rotisserie.
00:29:47
Chicken train. I'm we're volunteering to taste
00:29:49
test. Yeah, I'm not going to cook one,
00:29:51
but I will actually eat it. We're not going to cook.
00:29:53
We don't cook, we eat. Yeah, yeah.
00:29:55
So I made this. I showed it to a bunch of people
00:29:57
and then like. Except my macaroni and cheese is
00:30:00
the best, so fuck you. Ah, my mom's good.
00:30:02
I want to try it. So then just cause sort of
00:30:05
naturally I was like, OK, these ingredients.
00:30:07
I was like, OK, so there's oil and there's balsamic vinegar in
00:30:10
this. There's a, you know, too much of
00:30:12
a variance in quality. And then we're going to have to
00:30:14
put it in containers. That's hard for logistics.
00:30:17
The dry part, that's really easy to move.
00:30:19
It's really hard to contaminate. It's really easy to keep
00:30:22
consistent quality. Maybe I'll package that and then
00:30:24
I started trying other things and before you know it I have.
00:30:28
An all-purpose spice brand, the Ball foods.com.
00:30:31
It's a website that's nice and it's just it went from.
00:30:34
Me say it slow. The the the ball foods.
00:30:37
The ball foods. Dot com It's called the ball
00:30:40
rub. There you go.
00:30:41
Treat your meat. That's.
00:30:42
That is amazing. I love it.
00:30:44
Trey Trey's ordering it right now.
00:30:45
He's already on the. Yeah, well, they there's a
00:30:47
camera this, he's not doing it. It might not be on him, right?
00:30:51
Now, yeah, but my. It's here.
00:30:53
Yeah. No.
00:30:53
My point being that it was like it was I was trying to create
00:30:57
something and then I just could not help but turn it into a
00:30:59
business, you know, And then like, that's very cool.
00:31:01
I have this software app that's, you know, we've had a lot.
00:31:05
We've tripped a little bit. I wanted.
00:31:07
To ask you about the app and the process overall.
00:31:09
So if you don't mind like when you talk about this getting into
00:31:12
because a lot of people think they can do an app and then but
00:31:14
there's it's not just. Here's the idea and go.
00:31:17
I mean Trey and I have some great ideas that we'll we'll ask
00:31:19
you about in a second. But I I just the app thing is
00:31:22
just that's where it's at, right?
00:31:23
I mean these days. I mean these like in the mid
00:31:26
teen, mid to early teens, that was like you could throw
00:31:29
something up there that really didn't have that much value and
00:31:31
you could get super high valuations cause VCs were going
00:31:34
for it. The venture capitals, you know,
00:31:36
'cause it, it was. The VC model in itself is
00:31:41
arguably flawed depending on what ecosystem you're in,
00:31:43
because you're basically just handing the bag to someone else.
00:31:46
So you put in an investment and then you want someone else to
00:31:50
invest in it. So you you're incentivized to
00:31:52
make sure that everybody thinks it's amazing, whether it is or
00:31:55
not, you know? And that it's kind of like this
00:31:58
hype that keeps it going until someone.
00:32:01
You know you IPO or some of big buys it and like once that next
00:32:04
round comes in you get your money out you don't care you
00:32:06
know they move on. So anyway to create an app I I
00:32:10
did it I had an idea is. It similar to I didn't mean to
00:32:12
interrupt you, I I tend to do that.
00:32:14
No, no, go ahead. Is it similar to say something
00:32:17
like a podcast where technically people can just throw it up
00:32:20
there? Or even a a writer these days to
00:32:23
where to where any app can go out there and it can just be
00:32:27
sitting there and nobody's touched?
00:32:28
It so there there's like standards for.
00:32:31
For the app stores that you have to pass to be able to publish
00:32:34
Okay and you also have to share a certain amount of your
00:32:38
revenue, I think Apple it's like 30% whatever revenue you make
00:32:41
the app you. Have to give to Wow 30%.
00:32:43
Yeah, I know it's high like an apple.
00:32:45
Well, they own the marketplace. Yeah, right.
00:32:49
I know that much. But other than that, you know,
00:32:51
other than meeting their standards, if you if you've got
00:32:54
the skill, I mean there are, there are people out there and
00:32:56
some of they're high school kids that can blast an app out and
00:32:59
get it in through submission. And Apple submission's really
00:33:01
fast now. It used to be it would take like
00:33:04
a week. Now it's like, you know, like
00:33:06
that afternoon sometimes. So there are there apps sitting
00:33:10
there that are just like like three people have of.
00:33:13
Of course. OK.
00:33:14
Oh yeah, that's what I mean. Is it?
00:33:15
Is it so saturated that it's just like?
00:33:17
Will you pay a fee? And it's an annual fee to keep
00:33:20
it in the store. And then you've got to run,
00:33:22
you've got to keep it on a server.
00:33:23
You know we have my development partner for Mesh, but he's
00:33:27
that's the app. It's called Mesh and it's it's
00:33:30
supposed to help people coordinate and work Better
00:33:32
Together for like group travel which is a disaster for
00:33:35
coordinating. But anyway we keep it on he's
00:33:37
got a server. We keep it on that.
00:33:40
You know you those are really your your costs.
00:33:42
You've got to. You've got to do bug management
00:33:44
because it's going to crash. And you know, if you want to
00:33:48
improve it, you can, you don't have to.
00:33:50
You know, there's there's things out there like.
00:33:53
Well, you wanna you wanna improve it as you go, right?
00:33:55
I mean, that's the well, some. Things you can improve like the
00:33:58
flashlight app, how much better is that gonna get?
00:34:00
Yeah, or like a. A converter bot that like
00:34:03
converts inches to meters. You know, like.
00:34:05
That's, but I'm talking about these apps that that people come
00:34:08
out with that that, you know, they think oh, this is it, this
00:34:10
is it. It does like all this stuff, but
00:34:11
it's just so they they didn't take the time and it's they.
00:34:14
Put it out there and it doesn't work.
00:34:16
And it does, you know. It's it's expensive.
00:34:19
Can you tell us are you? I don't know what how the rules
00:34:22
are, but what you did or what you were interested in for your
00:34:25
app. Yeah, so how?
00:34:26
Far you got in the process. Yeah, so like I was, there were
00:34:29
a lot of bachelor parties happening.
00:34:31
You know, like spring break I'd say is very similar.
00:34:34
And you and weddings and stuff, and you go through the pains of
00:34:37
like it's a big group and we have an e-mail chain or or a
00:34:41
text chain. And it's just, it gets so long
00:34:44
and there's so much, you know, nonsense being thrown in there,
00:34:47
but sprinkled through it is important information.
00:34:49
It's like, this is my flight. I want to play golf.
00:34:52
I get in on this day, who wants to share a room with me?
00:34:55
And it's just impossible to triage all that stuff.
00:34:58
So I said, there's got to be a better way to do this.
00:35:00
So what if we had like a page, or you know, for your event, for
00:35:05
this thing that's happening and it had the list of every day
00:35:07
that was coming? You could have like an
00:35:09
activities board where people could say yes or no for golf.
00:35:12
You could see everybody's flights.
00:35:14
You have like a full itinerary if it's like.
00:35:17
Oh, everyone's flights. I like that.
00:35:19
Yeah, so it's like it seems very simple.
00:35:20
And a photo album too, because everybody's get you're always
00:35:23
texting pictures out of the trips, just dump them into here,
00:35:26
you know? And then it's always there for
00:35:27
you to access. When you could tell, could you
00:35:29
tell people? Could they go sign on and look
00:35:32
at the pictures? Like somebody that it wasn't on
00:35:34
the trip or. I think it's inevitable that
00:35:36
there's ways to integrate other people and then especially if
00:35:39
you get like a business like let's say you have like AI think
00:35:43
it. It's not like me giving away
00:35:45
secret sauce. If we have like a premium
00:35:48
version where wedding photographers set up a mesh page
00:35:51
and then if you're in mass you get an invite and then like the
00:35:54
whole itinerary let's say better yet, a wedding planner has a
00:35:58
thing and and they are the the quarterback for the whole thing.
00:36:02
And then they give a link to your host and they send it to
00:36:06
all the guests, right? And then all the pictures are in
00:36:08
there, your itineraries in there.
00:36:10
If you're part of the wedding party, you get a separate
00:36:12
itinerary. You can see everything.
00:36:14
And it kind of just keeps everything in one place.
00:36:16
And then you can always access it in the future, you know,
00:36:19
like. It just I I just encountered
00:36:21
this annoying problem and I was like, there's got to be a better
00:36:24
way to still happen. And I was like, what's the
00:36:26
solution? And I was, you know, apps were
00:36:28
kind of becoming a thing. I was like this is the way to
00:36:30
do. It you did it a while ago.
00:36:31
I did and it's you know we we had a lot of lot of problems and
00:36:35
and it it it was expensive and difficult and we're still going
00:36:41
and. So this is I was that was my
00:36:43
next question I I didn't know how to ask it.
00:36:45
I don't where are you in the process?
00:36:47
So we launched the third version because we did one and then we
00:36:51
had a follow up to that and it was sort of a Frankenstein and
00:36:53
it's kind of a. So is it.
00:36:55
It's out there. Yeah, it's out there right now.
00:36:57
It's not complete. Would you prefer to not?
00:37:00
You can go check it out, it's. I don't think it's very
00:37:02
functional at the moment, so. That's a great a great
00:37:06
advertisement. Go to my app it it might not
00:37:09
function or may not work. I have a very expensive
00:37:12
trademark. I didn't want to lose something
00:37:14
on the market to keep it and you're in the middle of
00:37:16
development. So I said, look, let's divert
00:37:18
some resources because Lance did some work.
00:37:21
He's my partner on this. And then we also were paying out
00:37:24
of pocket for some developers overseas, some really good ones
00:37:28
in Ukraine that we lost when when all that went down, but
00:37:31
the. Whole thing.
00:37:32
Yeah. So we, you know we was like
00:37:35
let's divert some resources to getting something that like will
00:37:38
pass compliance. So that we can keep the.
00:37:40
Trademark and then we'll go back to building the features so
00:37:43
everything is actually pictured. It's like a shelf.
00:37:46
But like, you can't act, You can't reach them yet, you know?
00:37:49
So we're just connecting the dots right now to get this back
00:37:52
out. OK, I'll leave it up to you.
00:37:53
If you want. Anybody listening to go, just
00:37:55
kind of check out the idea. Yeah, mesh.
00:37:58
Do you have a cool? It's called mesh.
00:38:00
Yeah, I like it. Just like mesh meshing.
00:38:02
Together meshes people together mesh I would think.
00:38:05
I would think, Trey, I don't know what you think.
00:38:07
I think that for weddings there's got to be something
00:38:11
similar. But that's fine.
00:38:14
There's one called batch plugging my competitor.
00:38:16
But yeah, it's like a Bachelorette thing.
00:38:18
Go to the app that works. Yeah, Well, I I don't know.
00:38:21
I I think come on, I think it's kind of flawed but.
00:38:24
You know what? We're going to bash batch from
00:38:25
here on out. Every show batch sucks, yeah.
00:38:28
Well, look, if I'm good enough, like that's right.
00:38:30
You know I. Like that mindset?
00:38:31
There is a marketing aspect to it and I just gave them some
00:38:34
free marketing, but I don't know.
00:38:35
I've seen the way that they're going with it and it's not the
00:38:38
way that I want to take it, so I'm not really that concerned.
00:38:41
I'm not trying to corner the wedding market, right?
00:38:43
And they kind of are. And it focuses on the wedding
00:38:46
market, and yours is just in general.
00:38:48
Now I have a different long term strategy for it, which I think
00:38:51
could I get so jacked up when I think about it, but.
00:38:54
Yeah, we'll take it easy over that.
00:38:57
I like it. I mean, I guess one of the
00:39:00
things I was, I was asking about is so when somebody asks you
00:39:03
like, all right, what do you do? I mean, how do you, how do you
00:39:05
lump all this together into one? OK, so I've had parallel careers
00:39:10
for the last. That's what I mean.
00:39:11
So how are you supposed to like? No.
00:39:12
So I I've been doing management consulting along the same time
00:39:17
as doing startups. So I've probably done about 8
00:39:19
startup projects. Along the same time that I was
00:39:23
doing freelance consulting and then I took on a partner and we
00:39:26
had a firm and we did about half advisory stuff for equity and
00:39:29
half stuff for cash. And then we moved into a
00:39:33
boutique firm. And then he ended up, he was
00:39:36
like, I'm not going to go with you and I'm going to do
00:39:37
something else. I was like, that's cool, I'm
00:39:38
going to do this. And it was right around the time
00:39:40
when I started my masters and then I was like, OK.
00:39:45
It's kind of hard, you know that that firm required too much biz
00:39:49
dev. You know, I I didn't, I couldn't
00:39:51
hunt and clean the meat while I was doing school.
00:39:54
So I said, OK, I'll go somewhere where I'm just cutting, you
00:39:56
know, cleaning the meat. And I joined a different firm
00:39:59
and I've just kind of hopped around something.
00:40:00
But I've done this while I've also been like, you know, I
00:40:02
started that spice company in college.
00:40:05
I started a venture capital fund in college, you know.
00:40:07
And yeah, I'm hearing about those I guess.
00:40:10
I guess the I'm gonna ask, I'm asking the hard question here.
00:40:12
It's how do you sum that up in 5 to 10?
00:40:14
Seconds that apart, I just say, I guess, let let me preface
00:40:18
this, I have a really hard time with it myself because when you
00:40:23
sell someone, oh, I'm a writer. OK, well, what do you write
00:40:26
like? Like we talked about.
00:40:28
Oh well. And I had a hard time answering
00:40:29
it quickly. Quickly.
00:40:31
OK, well, I prefer novels, but I really write short stories.
00:40:33
But then I do sports freelance, and then I do freelance
00:40:35
copywriting. And then now I've teach writing
00:40:38
and then I'm doing a podcast. It's just like, how do you sum
00:40:40
it up in a like I said a ten second elevator speech and
00:40:44
that's hard from all that you're doing.
00:40:47
How do you do that? Well, it sounds.
00:40:48
Like he's a hustler. Is that that he hustles?
00:40:51
How do you do that quickly? OK, so I I think the simple
00:40:53
answer is I'm a consultant but I also have some start up
00:40:57
programs. That's it.
00:40:57
OK. You know, and and depending on
00:40:59
who I'm talking to, maybe I'm just a consultant.
00:41:02
And it's not. It's not your wife.
00:41:05
No, no. What is extremely I'm just
00:41:07
kidding. I know it.
00:41:08
There is a special place in heaven.
00:41:10
Let's give let's. Give wives and partners of
00:41:12
entrepreneurs. Yeah, because they deal with a.
00:41:14
Lot of bullshit. No, it's just our wives deal
00:41:17
with it together and then they get, they all go.
00:41:19
I guarantee you. I guarantee you they are right
00:41:22
now on the phone talking about, you know, like I think, I I
00:41:26
think I heard him say this. I think I heard him say that,
00:41:28
yeah. It's like, oh God, what are they
00:41:29
talking about? Do you have a lot on your place?
00:41:31
And like, what's going on with your family?
00:41:33
What are your cousins doing? Like, why are you bitching?
00:41:34
I've got hands, people, my kids over.
00:41:36
I got to pick up my kids. I got my own stuff.
00:41:38
You got your stuff, you got your bike riding, you got your, your,
00:41:43
your. Man, I tell you what, your pre
00:41:44
workout and then your workout. Yeah, he takes this pre workout
00:41:47
and he's like you got about an hour with me and then I'm going
00:41:49
to pass out and be. Does it get you like super
00:41:52
jacked up? Oh yeah, yeah, it's helped
00:41:54
because I mean I got to the point where I'd hit, I'd hit a
00:41:57
wall at 2:00 and I was like, I went to the doctor, I was like,
00:42:00
what's going on? And there did all the tests.
00:42:02
Everything looks fine, you know, So I'm like shit, so I got the
00:42:05
pre workout going so. Do you drink coffee?
00:42:08
No. I don't either, no.
00:42:09
Do you have a high sensitivity with?
00:42:12
Caffeine. I do take a caffeine pill in the
00:42:16
morning. OK, that's coffee.
00:42:18
Yeah, yeah. I don't drink coffee.
00:42:20
But yeah, I don't drink coffee, but you don't take enema, but I
00:42:23
you. Don't get the I take the the
00:42:24
coffee pill. Yeah, I take a coffee pill in
00:42:27
the, you know, in the morning and then I do the pre workout
00:42:29
around early afternoon and then hit the gym.
00:42:31
So you don't get the acidity of the you don't get the acid,
00:42:34
right? That's probably good for 'cause
00:42:35
you don't you have reflux and whatever.
00:42:37
No kids are shit up. Reflex.
00:42:41
Let's let's move on. I want Trey to you know, we have
00:42:44
it here at Stay in the great podcast A Few Ideas for a
00:42:48
Business. I'm scared to even bring this
00:42:49
up. No, no, he.
00:42:50
Is way too sophisticated. He, he'll, he'll have fun with
00:42:53
it, right, Ryan? Yeah, no, I want to hear it.
00:42:55
I love hearing we have a business idea and as how easy I
00:43:00
guess the question I have is how do we have two or just the one?
00:43:04
Well, we had the app idea. I don't know if that would work
00:43:06
out, but yeah, the app idea, yeah and then yeah, that one
00:43:11
we'll see. But the the other one was more
00:43:13
of just the non app a business. A business idea.
00:43:16
So as I guess the only thing we need to know is how difficult
00:43:19
would that be to get off the ground and do you think it's
00:43:21
worth it? So it was it was brought up that
00:43:25
with people living so much longer these days that you
00:43:28
really want to go after a market geared around to older people.
00:43:31
And so me and Ryan were discussing, you know, what kind
00:43:34
of business idea we could think of that would really for seniors
00:43:38
resonate around our senior citizens, you know, something
00:43:41
that would benefit them. So we were thinking maybe like a
00:43:43
senior citizen strip club, you know, you know, we've got
00:43:50
Gertrude out there. We got at least one laugh, a
00:43:53
quick laugh. You know, we we got the railing
00:43:55
around the poles to keep them from getting hurt.
00:43:58
You know what was the was the club in Dallas that has the
00:44:01
showers. You know, we could put railing
00:44:03
up in the showers. I don't.
00:44:04
I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:44:05
I've never been to a strip club in my life.
00:44:07
I mean they. Close at 4:00 in the afternoon.
00:44:10
So I don't know how hard that would be to get off the ground.
00:44:13
It's pretty easy. I just, you know, we'll see.
00:44:15
If these if this is where your mind is going, yeah, I think you
00:44:18
should be like a comic writer, like short guide comic writer
00:44:22
because these are like super funny anecdotes that if you like
00:44:25
sketch them out, you could do 5 minutes.
00:44:27
Could be lucrative. So I think maybe there's a
00:44:29
business in that and these like cartoons that you could, you
00:44:32
know, now it would have been like in newspapers, yeah, But
00:44:35
now it would be like a social media account.
00:44:37
I so not so much a senior citizen.
00:44:39
Yeah. So you don't think that's a
00:44:40
good, I think? You I think you have liability.
00:44:44
Your insurance is going to be a challenge.
00:44:45
Oh, that's. Oh yeah, Insurance.
00:44:47
See. And then you're paying.
00:44:49
You're probably going to have to pay like a decent amount.
00:44:52
For real estate, because you want proximity because logistics
00:44:55
to get to your location, Oh yeah, they're not going.
00:44:56
To want all the ramps and everything to get the walkers
00:44:59
well. You're going to need that for.
00:45:00
Chairs. Yeah, that's true that either
00:45:02
way, but. You know, you you've got to be
00:45:04
in a good location, close to where the homes are, and the
00:45:07
homes are usually close to where they're, you know, the people
00:45:10
that are paying for it, like their kids or the family members
00:45:13
might be. So I think you're going to pay a
00:45:14
lot for real estate and if you're closing at 4, you know
00:45:16
there's a big part of the night that you're losing out on, but
00:45:18
it could be it turns into something else in the evening.
00:45:22
Like a Luby's, you know? Or a bingo.
00:45:27
There we go. I had a bingo, obviously like a
00:45:30
funny idea. Like to visualize as a joke for
00:45:33
sure, but see, I don't think there's a Trey I don't.
00:45:36
I don't know for. The practical flaws, but like.
00:45:39
I don't know why I don't think anyone would come in.
00:45:40
I don't know why he's saying. It's funny, I thought this was a
00:45:42
great idea. OK, so I was thinking of the
00:45:46
other one that we mentioned on the show before where we got, I
00:45:49
don't know if you heard right, I'll let, I'll let you explain
00:45:51
it further. But we did a bit, we not a bit.
00:45:53
It was actually a serious topic about assisted suicide.
00:45:57
And about people who you know whether that should be allowed
00:46:03
or there's six states that allow it.
00:46:05
It's legal in and so people will drive there and ask the and
00:46:08
that, you know as a doctor or especially a family member being
00:46:12
asked to do something like that. And again, I don't know if it's
00:46:15
through oral pills or if it's an injection IV or I don't know how
00:46:19
they would do it for assisted suicide.
00:46:21
And if you know anything about that, please inform us,
00:46:23
especially if we have a business idea.
00:46:25
But there's. A business that doesn't we
00:46:27
thought about is it we have where we are behind.
00:46:31
Well, and I I even came up with a slogan 'cause our marketing.
00:46:33
So but you haven't tell the business, the business is we
00:46:36
will be the ones to help do that because we have no emotional
00:46:40
attachment to these people. Yeah.
00:46:42
So he had the Doctor. Kevorkian, this is like what he
00:46:44
was doing. Oh yeah, And he got do you not?
00:46:46
Remember that? Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:46:47
We're way behind. OK, so that that but he.
00:46:49
Didn't have a cool slogan like that.
00:46:51
OK, OK, Trey. Give give the slogan and I and
00:46:54
we'll see. And I and I bet I bet Ryan jumps
00:46:56
on board and this will be his next venture.
00:46:59
So stay in the grey. Brings the ass to help you pass.
00:47:03
So assisted suicide service? No.
00:47:08
I think that that would bring in, I think.
00:47:11
I think that Giggle had in his mind.
00:47:13
He's like oh. Yeah, I think he wants to invest
00:47:15
I. Think you guys this is good
00:47:16
podcast. Yeah.
00:47:17
Wait was it? Was it what was it on Step
00:47:20
Brothers? Are you going to invest or not?
00:47:23
Investors possibly you. Last week microwave to be the
00:47:30
they need another Peter to set them Maria, yeah.
00:47:32
Yeah. OK.
00:47:33
So no, that's not that's not so. We need to keep thinking too.
00:47:37
There's a company in Europe that does this, though they there are
00:47:39
like pods, and it looks like you've seen aliens, right?
00:47:45
Right. You know, like the like which
00:47:46
one pods they? Sleep it.
00:47:48
Just anyone, you know, those pods or it's like a glass window
00:47:50
on there. Yeah, that's what Trey sleeps.
00:47:51
Picture that and they'll put it anywhere.
00:47:54
If you want to be like on the cliffs, maybe not and like piss.
00:47:57
It off the. Cliff or I think it's I'm, I'm
00:48:00
going to misquote this. It's in Switzerland or Sweden.
00:48:02
They put you in there and there's a it fills up with the
00:48:04
gas and you slowly fall asleep and you just pass.
00:48:07
Oh wow. And it's a real thing.
00:48:08
With a beautiful view. And a friend of mine's aunt was
00:48:12
like, oh, this is it. I'm going to do it where I was
00:48:14
like, we're all at like a dinner.
00:48:16
I was like, is she's? Yeah, this is this is like, this
00:48:19
is suicide is a thing and it's. And her sister was like, shut
00:48:22
the fuck up with this. So you put it close to the
00:48:23
Cliff. Just in case the gas doesn't
00:48:26
work, you just kind of. I mean, who would know?
00:48:29
That's what we would do. We'd show up and we'd leave.
00:48:31
I go, shit, they're kicking, but.
00:48:34
Apparently it's a thing, you know, I I don't know.
00:48:37
You know this brings up some some business conflicts because
00:48:42
there is a lot of money in treating sick people and old
00:48:47
people. You, you could argue, are
00:48:50
debatably sick. Their sickness is is end of life
00:48:53
and it's just being extended it. It can be lucrative to keep
00:48:56
someone alive, especially someone with like a very good
00:48:58
pension or you know that that keeps paying as long as they're
00:49:01
alive, you know. So there was that.
00:49:04
Should it not be their choice? Oh, there have been people that
00:49:06
have gotten in trouble for this, but I'm just saying, you know, I
00:49:12
could see people who have interest in.
00:49:15
Keeping that business propped up, arguing against this and
00:49:18
creating the argument that no, you shouldn't have a choice, but
00:49:22
it's it's obviously your life. People aren't going to jail for
00:49:25
trying to commit suicide, right? Are you?
00:49:27
Are you surprised that it's only 6 states or are you?
00:49:29
Do you think that even having sex is is is a lot?
00:49:33
I I don't know. Do you think it?
00:49:36
Do you have an opinion? Should it be allowed?
00:49:38
I I I mean, you don't have to have, I think.
00:49:41
People should do whatever they want.
00:49:44
I like that's what we thought. It's yeah, you do it.
00:49:48
It's your life. But what about?
00:49:49
What if you? I hope you I?
00:49:50
Hope you try some other things before that's but what if you
00:49:53
what if you get to the point and and I'll I have a a personal
00:49:56
experience with this because of my grandmother but what if you
00:49:59
get to the point, say it's Alzheimer's.
00:50:00
What if you get to the point where you're mentally checked
00:50:02
out and you can't make that decision, or you really want it,
00:50:06
but you can't? You can't quite pull the
00:50:08
trigger, No pun intended, on making that decision, but that's
00:50:12
what you really want. Or if your family members are
00:50:14
just making you feel guilty about it.
00:50:16
Or you know what? It's a tough call if you want
00:50:18
out and that's where you are. Punch out.
00:50:21
Do you ever seen that movie? Still Alice?
00:50:23
I haven't seen that movie. I watched it once and it's an
00:50:27
amazing movie and I don't want to ever watch it again, right.
00:50:30
It's one of those. Sounds like the notebook.
00:50:33
No, but. It's because it was so sad.
00:50:36
Yeah, well, there's Alzheimer's in that shit too.
00:50:38
That's is that what we're talking?
00:50:39
About, and I don't want to, I don't want to ruin too much of
00:50:41
it, but it's a young person with still Alice.
00:50:45
Still Alice with Julianne Moore. OK, go watch that everybody.
00:50:48
Yeah, there's like a scene where she basically when she's lucid,
00:50:52
she like sets a trap for herself to make sure that she dies.
00:50:58
And she she loses focus in the middle and she can't even do it.
00:51:02
It's just like she goes from like.
00:51:04
A PhD professor at like Columbia who like, can't even remember
00:51:09
her name. You know, it's like just sitting
00:51:10
there eating ice cream. So sad.
00:51:12
Doesn't remember anything. You know that that sounds like a
00:51:14
tough. That sounds like a one and done
00:51:15
for me. Like I'd love it and then be
00:51:16
like no. More It was really well made,
00:51:18
really good performances. Alec Baldwin plays her husband.
00:51:21
He does a good job. Yeah, he's, he's good.
00:51:23
I don't always agree with that guy, but he's good at what he
00:51:25
does. He's a.
00:51:26
Little goofy in his public, yeah, but he's he's good at.
00:51:28
He's great at what he does. Yeah.
00:51:30
There's been a lot of cameos. Alec Baldwin, I I'm sorry we
00:51:34
keep talking movies, but do you remember even the movie?
00:51:38
Was it along came Polly. Yeah.
00:51:40
With Ben Stiller in Aniston. Yeah.
00:51:42
And he comes in, he's the boss and he walks into the bathroom.
00:51:45
He's like after he peed. He's like taking his.
00:51:47
Ear. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:49
Whenever he's done talk, he says good things, good things, good
00:51:52
things, good things. We'll done.
00:51:54
We're gonna get this deal. Good things.
00:51:56
He's just, he's so in the 30 Rock.
00:51:58
He was fantastic. Yeah.
00:52:00
I thought he almost stole the show over Tracy Moore.
00:52:03
I mean, it'd be great anyway. But again I think this whole
00:52:05
like should it be a loud or not thing is like just another like
00:52:09
who should just do whatever you want man.
00:52:11
Yeah. And and why does why are you
00:52:14
know 44 does that do that math right, 44 states not.
00:52:17
What do they think they feel that they can say you can't make
00:52:20
that decision, you know? I don't.
00:52:23
I don't know. Yeah, it's a thorny one.
00:52:26
That was a hypothetical. But I know Healthcare is a
00:52:28
lucrative business. That's a lot of tax dollars in
00:52:31
your state. You know, I'm not saying that's
00:52:33
the reason, right. But you know, those incentives
00:52:35
are there and we we do have, you know, so because of that
00:52:38
corruption in our. Political system, because of
00:52:40
that, you think there's ever going to be a a cure for like
00:52:42
cancer or anything like that? I don't know.
00:52:44
There's way more lucrative to treat cancer patients than it is
00:52:48
to cure them. Here we go.
00:52:50
This is interesting. I like that.
00:52:52
Yeah. I mean, like, I'm a strong
00:52:54
believer that you can follow the incentives.
00:52:56
You know, there's still good people that will make good
00:52:59
decisions. But in the end, if you have an
00:53:01
institution that incentivizes people to make morally
00:53:05
compromising. Decisions.
00:53:06
It will attract those people, yeah.
00:53:08
And that's why our political system is the way it is.
00:53:10
And that's why businesses can, you know, industries can get out
00:53:14
of hand. Should I even suggest that?
00:53:15
That's my opinion about vaccines for the for the thank you for
00:53:21
the COVID vaccines. I just feel like there's more to
00:53:23
it. It's not just like.
00:53:25
I mean, it's people made a lot of money.
00:53:28
They made money on them, sure. That's what I'm saying.
00:53:29
If we need one, probably. Yeah.
00:53:32
Come on. Yeah.
00:53:33
Well, yeah. But yeah.
00:53:34
OK. Again, didn't know what was
00:53:35
going on. Trey's about to be a zombie
00:53:37
because of one of those, so I saw him biting the mic.
00:53:40
The the microphone over there, I mean.
00:53:42
I can stick 1/4 on my arm too and it's just is that the other
00:53:46
thing there that's right? I feel like once a month there's
00:53:49
like some conspiracy like this is it.
00:53:52
This is the trap door. They sit with that vaccine.
00:53:56
I love how he says it with the Southern accent because it's all
00:53:57
like the. As you know, it's it's like it
00:54:00
used to be. The village idiot was ostracized
00:54:02
and now they get on the Internet and they find their friends and
00:54:04
then they get really strong and really loud and then some people
00:54:08
that are like, not quite realize that they're idiots join on
00:54:10
board. Do you do you think, do you
00:54:14
think on that note, somebody said this to me the other day
00:54:17
and I I I didn't agree with the numbers, but I agree with the
00:54:20
premise that the extremists, First off that's my opinion,
00:54:25
that they're the problem on both sides and that's why we always
00:54:28
try and stay Gray, right buddy and on both sides.
00:54:31
And somebody said to me they believe truly that it's 5% on
00:54:35
both sides that we hear because they're the loudest and most
00:54:39
obnoxious. And that 90%, I think that's
00:54:43
high are sitting like we are in the middle going, hey, let's
00:54:46
just talk issue to issue case by case and we're fine because
00:54:48
otherwise elections would be different, everything would be
00:54:51
different. I think that's I think the
00:54:52
premise is right. I just think the numbers are
00:54:53
low. What do you think?
00:54:56
I think they're not, as that's not far off.
00:54:58
But really you're again, you're hearing about those loud people,
00:55:02
you're hearing about them because their absurdity is very
00:55:06
intriguing. It's like intrinsically
00:55:08
interesting. It's like people like like
00:55:09
entertainment. Yeah.
00:55:11
It's like people like to research about Nazis because
00:55:13
they're it's like, wow, they are like how did they get get, you
00:55:17
know, so like The History Channel, it was like all the War
00:55:19
Two stuff before they turned into whatever The History
00:55:22
Channel is now. That was like the most
00:55:23
interesting stuff because as you're like learning about the
00:55:25
Nazis and all these, like it's like how could they do this?
00:55:28
How did Germany, how did it get to this point?
00:55:30
How did fascism grow like this? And it's the same thing.
00:55:32
It's like. Look at what this liberal did
00:55:35
over here. Or look at what this redneck did
00:55:39
You know this conservative racist did over here.
00:55:42
You got to change the accent. I mean, I don't know that I'm
00:55:47
just picking like a like a no, I'm joking.
00:55:49
Like a silly accent. Yeah, yeah.
00:55:53
No, okay, look at this racist. There you go.
00:55:57
Look at this liberal, you know. There you go.
00:55:59
There it is, right there it's. Gonna get do Arnold for both,
00:56:02
you know. So no, we're gonna get we'll get
00:56:04
some more Arnold. Look at them.
00:56:06
But that may be the clip. I do advertising.
00:56:08
There's now. Right.
00:56:09
No, but it's look, it's the. We need the Fairness Doctrine
00:56:14
back and that you're fired up, you're hitting the mic.
00:56:16
That's a whole other conversation.
00:56:18
But the news organizations are for profit organizations.
00:56:22
Their prerogative is to sell ads, and the more engagement
00:56:27
they get, the more ads they sell.
00:56:28
So what's going to guarantee engagement?
00:56:31
Provocative information. So if I am focusing on
00:56:34
conservative people. I'm going to show you the most
00:56:38
ridiculous enemy you've ever heard of in your life, and I'm
00:56:40
going to get you so riled up that this person is the source
00:56:43
of all your problems and they're coming to ruin your life.
00:56:45
And on the other side you're in. I hate to say the word side
00:56:49
because these sides are totally fabricated to generate profits
00:56:52
for everybody that has an interest in it, but on the other
00:56:55
side, it's the same thing. No, I think the sides are
00:56:58
nonsense. I think the side is it's
00:57:00
Americans and, you know, the people making these rules that
00:57:03
are. Getting really rich again
00:57:05
because they're incentivized to do it because there's no
00:57:08
accountability. But yeah well that's let's save
00:57:11
that for the next time we have you on if you comes back because
00:57:17
and I and I would like to talk about it.
00:57:18
I mean I did. I know you know we didn't want
00:57:20
to do a ton of politics but I I'm, I'm intrigued because I
00:57:23
don't I don't disagree with everything.
00:57:25
But I you know there's some things that there's a lot of
00:57:29
stuff that you and I have and and I'm sure Trey too that it
00:57:34
it's it's we're all kind of in the same you know I might kind
00:57:37
of go over here I don't totally agree but it's not way over on a
00:57:42
on the on the sides that you you.
00:57:44
But you're still like picking a side.
00:57:46
You seem to pick a side. Well, you're calling me out on
00:57:49
my own show. I love it.
00:57:50
I love it. I I, I, I've said on the show
00:57:53
many times that I am a a independent lean right for
00:57:58
political reasons. I want political right policies
00:58:02
pushed. When it comes to what I think a
00:58:05
central government should be in charge of, which should be
00:58:09
economic policy, foreign affairs, border security, these
00:58:13
types of things. I don't.
00:58:14
I think that a lot of the social issues should be state by state,
00:58:18
and that to me, doesn't matter on the president.
00:58:20
If we're just talking about executive, I'm not talking about
00:58:23
City Council and all that bullshit we could.
00:58:26
Trey, do you want to talk about City Council?
00:58:28
PTA and stuff like that. PTA And so you know, if you I
00:58:33
like that you called me out, I I.
00:58:34
So in my opinion, if I don't pick a side when it comes to
00:58:38
voting for our President, if are you talking about president or
00:58:41
just in general? I just mean like if you're
00:58:43
saying you, you know I'm only a little bit in or I'm all the way
00:58:47
out, you still you already picked a side.
00:58:48
What's the difference? Because because I'm just telling
00:58:51
you, I'm telling you straight up if you went by all the issues
00:58:55
that politicians are quote UN quote in charge of and I went
00:59:00
that seems to be OK You you can't tell me that that trickle
00:59:07
down economics isn't a right wing belief or a right wing
00:59:11
policy versus the left side who doesn't believe in that.
00:59:14
I happen to to to go that direction.
00:59:17
So therefore I have to label it right because that's what
00:59:20
everybody else has labeled. And So what else would I call
00:59:22
it? And I'm I'm legitimately asking
00:59:25
what would I call it instead of saying I'm neutral lean, right?
00:59:29
What would I call it? Just neutral and issue.
00:59:35
By issue I mean I don't know what to call it because everyone
00:59:38
else has labeled it. I I wouldn't try and put
00:59:40
anything in a box. I think you put it in a box that
00:59:43
just like makes you easier to control because you pick that's
00:59:46
you pick a side. And then that side is gonna tell
00:59:50
you the things they care about which is happening right now.
00:59:53
But you have to be responsible enough to look at the other side
00:59:56
as well which is what I believe that I do.
00:59:59
Some people, some people say that I don't, but I I mean I do.
01:00:01
I mean I don't, I don't. I people don't.
01:00:04
People need to understand that I don't look over here at these
01:00:06
right wing sites and this just because I said I lean right and
01:00:09
that's all I go by. If something that a right wing
01:00:13
site like you said and I I respect that completely says hey
01:00:16
check this out. And they're trying to draw
01:00:18
people in. I get that.
01:00:21
That's not me. I'll go, oh, let me check this
01:00:23
out because everybody likes to be entertained and I'm looking
01:00:25
at it, but I'm not going in there going, I can't believe
01:00:28
this. There's a lot of people that do.
01:00:30
I I know and I agree with you. Whatever.
01:00:32
You've noticed like, and I I don't really, you know, if you
01:00:36
look at like look at Fox News and then look at some liberal
01:00:40
news, just a funny thing that I noticed just Fox and CNN, just
01:00:43
do those two. Sure.
01:00:45
There is so much more celebrity news on Fox.
01:00:50
Take a look next time you look at him.
01:00:51
That's interesting. Way more celebrity obsession.
01:00:54
So I Trey watches Fox. He wants to know what happens
01:00:56
with Ariana Grande. But I think it's, I think it's
01:00:59
consistent with what I'm talking about.
01:01:01
It's like, look, look at these people.
01:01:02
I hate them. I hate them here now.
01:01:04
I hate these people. I hate them, hate them.
01:01:06
Hard, right? You know it's a well, but you
01:01:08
know and then what. But I wouldn't argue that CNN
01:01:11
has their own approach which. Is sure hate is a is a dopamine
01:01:14
trigger. It's just like our cell phones
01:01:16
are designed to be a dopamine trigger.
01:01:17
It's it's. They're it.
01:01:19
These things are designed to be a talks to him.
01:01:22
Trey's cell phone tells him what he should do and not do in life.
01:01:25
Did you know that Trey cell phone tells him he needs to get
01:01:30
some enhancement? You know, was it the enlargement
01:01:34
pills and stuff? Which don't They really told you
01:01:36
no. Well, advertise they they
01:01:39
advertisements. Keep popping up saying randomly,
01:01:42
here's how you really please a woman, and do you need those
01:01:46
extra few inches? It's 'cause he's.
01:01:47
It's 'cause he's. Android maybe check your mic
01:01:50
permissions right? It's listening to, right?
01:01:52
No, that's what I'm thinking. There's somebody listening there
01:01:55
going on. I don't.
01:01:56
Know that's like you gotta. Close Instagram when you're not
01:01:58
I. Mean my phone should see.
01:02:00
I bought the pills multiple times and it has not worked yet.
01:02:03
So stop sending them to me. So yeah, yeah, I'm done with.
01:02:08
I mean, I'm taking pictures that should see them, you know?
01:02:10
So let's First off, I've got to hear some more.
01:02:14
Arnold, I knew we were going to go away long, and that's great.
01:02:17
I love it. Yeah, let's, let's hear some.
01:02:20
Arnold, do you do you mind doing some more?
01:02:22
Because I'm fascinated by people that can do impressions.
01:02:25
And if I do an Arnold, do you want to hear it get down on the
01:02:28
ground? Like, it's just not.
01:02:31
Wait. Do more.
01:02:32
Do more. That was so good.
01:02:34
I'll do it. I have a surprise impression for
01:02:36
you too, because you ask you grab person.
01:02:38
But I want to hear what is it? Let's see who's your daddy and
01:02:44
what does he do? Say get to the chopper.
01:02:46
Did you with the chopper? That was your best one.
01:02:50
It's not a Duma. It's not not a Duma.
01:02:54
Say I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions and they want to
01:02:57
answer it immediately. Who is your daddy and what does
01:03:01
he do? I love it.
01:03:02
I feel like I'm watching the movie, right?
01:03:04
What a great movie, by the way. Yeah.
01:03:06
What movie was that? Kindergarten Cop?
01:03:09
You not seen that kid? Wow, We might lose listeners,
01:03:12
because you haven't seen Kindergarten Cop.
01:03:14
That's a fantastic film. Apparently I need to watch
01:03:16
Mormon. Damn movie.
01:03:17
One of Arnold's best there was. He was undercover as a cop, as a
01:03:20
kindergarten teacher. That's where you hear the clip
01:03:23
of the little kid going. Boys have a penis and girls have
01:03:27
a vagina. That's where that was from.
01:03:28
But anyway, I I'm impressed with your your do you said you have a
01:03:31
surprise and. I do.
01:03:32
You were asking me about? Yes.
01:03:34
I couldn't think of a third one, but I have a good one.
01:03:36
But perhaps she's wondering why someone would shoot a man.
01:03:40
Before throwing him from a plane.
01:03:43
Oh, that was good. I love the The Echo.
01:03:46
That's what you have to do. It's like you do basically do
01:03:48
Sean Connery into a cup. That's how you do Bane.
01:03:51
Yeah, that's pretty good. And this gives you power over
01:03:55
me. I like it.
01:03:57
I like it. That's a good one I could do.
01:03:58
I try Connery too. To like Shane.
01:04:00
Mona Penne. Yeah, it's like Mona Penne.
01:04:04
But I'm sure he's wondering. Yeah, I'm sure he's wondering.
01:04:08
Like that's basically nice. Secret to Bane?
01:04:11
That's very nice. Oh man, that's great.
01:04:13
So let's ask Ryan real quick about our question that we want
01:04:18
to start asking about the the the the woman's last wish, her
01:04:23
last dying wish. OK, so we did a story not too
01:04:26
long ago where the woman had a dying wish that she wanted to
01:04:31
sleep with her ex one last time. So, she asked her husband, Can I
01:04:38
sleep with my ex? I think they were married 15
01:04:43
years. We'll make something up.
01:04:44
I don't remember how long they were married, but we don't
01:04:46
really care. I can't even imagine.
01:04:47
Yeah, it wasn't an 80 year old couple or anything like that.
01:04:51
They were like in their, I think she was dying of something
01:04:53
really tragic like cancer or something.
01:04:55
And So what would you do as the husband?
01:04:58
That was our question. We couldn't, we couldn't figure.
01:05:00
I can't imagine letting my wife. I'd be like I'd be I'd be like
01:05:05
what the? Yeah.
01:05:06
Like, First off, what can I do to be better than you dying now.
01:05:09
So it's. Give me one more shot.
01:05:10
Let's see. Yeah, pull those.
01:05:12
Pants out right now. All right.
01:05:13
What would you say? It would be extremely painful
01:05:16
for you. He set it up.
01:05:20
So, like, that was good setup. I I don't know.
01:05:22
We just couldn't figure it out. So do you think that that's a
01:05:24
legitimate request or do you think that's kind of like, all
01:05:26
right, that's unfair to the husband and that's all he's
01:05:29
going to ever remember, you know?
01:05:31
I don't think that's a very nice thing to say.
01:05:34
Yeah. OK.
01:05:34
And we're all, so we're kind of on the same.
01:05:36
Yeah. I can't imagine anybody's like,
01:05:37
yeah, great, good. I mean, even for her, I mean.
01:05:40
Wait, so hold on. Matter to the age, you know if
01:05:42
you're 90 and she's 89 and. Was maybe that's, you know, does
01:05:45
that matter? I don't.
01:05:46
I mean, maybe it depends on the husband.
01:05:49
But so just to recap, she's dying.
01:05:51
He's taking care of her while she's dying and she goes, yo.
01:05:56
This guy that I used to hook up with.
01:05:57
Yeah, I would like to see No. But didn't she say literally
01:06:00
that he he was better? He was the best.
01:06:03
Yeah, he's the best. Yeah, it's sex.
01:06:05
I think she sounds like not a nice person.
01:06:07
Yeah, honestly, so no. So even at 90.
01:06:10
Not gonna happen. Well there was that story I also
01:06:12
gave you about a 99 year old man who divorced his 97 year old
01:06:15
wife because he found out she slept with another man 50 years
01:06:19
ago. Dude, you know, nursing homes 50
01:06:21
years ago. Rampant STDs.
01:06:22
Oh, yes, I bet. Absolutely.
01:06:24
I bet it's I've heard about. Absolutely.
01:06:25
I I'm not gonna tell you how I've heard about it.
01:06:27
Maybe some grandparents and stuff.
01:06:31
It sounds like a party in there after apparently after checkers.
01:06:34
Good for the kids going checkers.
01:06:36
Into a few of them checkers 5:30 dinner and like let's get
01:06:39
rolling then the we used to. Bring a glass of water for
01:06:42
Gertrude to put her teeth in. Let's roll.
01:06:46
I love how every old woman you talk about is Gertrude.
01:06:49
Yeah. It's a pretty good like, it's a
01:06:52
good mod. Go to name mod.
01:06:54
You like mod Mod, yeah. That's a good one, Dorothy made.
01:06:58
What about for men, Betty? Ted, don't put it out with your
01:07:02
boots. Yeah, a mint.
01:07:04
Like Herbert, Herbert, Gus. No, like Gus.
01:07:08
That's a good one. I don't know.
01:07:10
I'm just thinking. Harold.
01:07:12
Harold. Harold one there like 20, names
01:07:15
the traditional root. Word of like of names that are
01:07:18
like down the line needs to be more abstract, so not Bob, but.
01:07:21
Rob, Lexicon and Rob, that's how it works.
01:07:23
Yeah, a lot of Bob. I don't know about Robert Cliff?
01:07:26
No. Clifford, anyway.
01:07:28
Clifford, Stanley. Yeah.
01:07:29
Anybody. Look, anybody.
01:07:31
By the way, we're going to do about 10 minutes of this, so no,
01:07:36
this has been fun. We do a bit on the show if and
01:07:40
you, I know you've listened to some of the show, right?
01:07:45
It's called an awareness of self-awareness.
01:07:49
Did I say that correctly? You did.
01:07:50
OK, it's only taken me 45 shows to get that right, an awareness
01:07:54
of self-awareness. And I should have asked you this
01:07:57
before so you could be prepped. Can you think of 1 the type of
01:08:02
person we we always have people that piss us off and that need
01:08:05
to be more self aware of their surroundings, of people around
01:08:09
them. Driving is a big you know that.
01:08:12
Was a medial, Yeah, driving. We do all the sorts of driving
01:08:15
ones. I think you've done someones in
01:08:18
the gym, of course. Bike riding.
01:08:20
Bullshit. You said that somebody had a
01:08:24
dog. When you're whatever, whatever.
01:08:28
But can you think of 1 right away or tradie you you had one
01:08:31
tonight on the in the gym that I thought was a great for this
01:08:35
segment. Oh, about the teenager?
01:08:38
No, the lady watching the the movie.
01:08:40
Oh yeah, she was. She was on a crunch machine and.
01:08:45
I walk up and I say, hey, how old is this woman?
01:08:48
If I had to guess, she's probably in her 60s.
01:08:50
She was. She was old.
01:08:51
Yeah, I was like, can I work in on this machine?
01:08:55
It's my last exercise and she's sitting there with her phone,
01:08:59
flipping through something, sitting there.
01:09:01
And then she sets it on actually the weights that slide up and
01:09:04
down. She sits her fucking phone right
01:09:06
there. So I'm like, what is she doing?
01:09:08
And then she proceeds to not use the machine to do the crunches.
01:09:11
But she she does crunches. Yeah, without the weights.
01:09:14
I was like, you could do that over there.
01:09:15
She could do it on the floor. Yeah, you could do it on the
01:09:17
floor next to the machine, although I don't know if she can
01:09:19
get back up off the floor, but. Maybe that's why she was doing
01:09:22
it. But yeah, yeah, you did you see
01:09:23
what film she was watching? No, at that point, when I saw
01:09:26
she wasn't even using the damn machine, I was like, well, this
01:09:27
is going to take forever. So I left.
01:09:29
Well, devil's advocate, maybe it was hard for her to get on and
01:09:31
off the machine. That's what I said.
01:09:33
Maybe she couldn't get off the floor.
01:09:34
And later I was like, OK, maybe, maybe.
01:09:36
On and off the machine like Super settings.
01:09:38
Just like, please. Like, ignoring you.
01:09:39
Like, please, God, just let me finish my workout.
01:09:41
Yeah, go. Home and I was I was trying to
01:09:43
be nice. I was way to bring empathy to
01:09:45
our. Show Yeah.
01:09:46
Can I work in with you? You know, you do a set.
01:09:48
I'll do a set. Middle ground, Yeah, yeah, OK.
01:09:51
So let's just, but that won't work.
01:09:52
For our show. OK, let's oh, I got some gripes.
01:09:55
I'll throw some gripes. There we go.
01:09:57
Let's just say that if it was say a 30 year old woman, then
01:10:02
it's different. Sure.
01:10:04
OK, but if she's an older woman and she's she's not that mobile.
01:10:09
Well, let's, let's, you know, let's not watch the movie.
01:10:11
Let's go and finish. OK, I watch a movie regardless
01:10:14
page regardless page. Don't watch the movie when
01:10:17
people are waiting to use the. Movie when she goes to our
01:10:18
senior citizens trip. I think I'm with Trey.
01:10:20
Yeah, I actually had this happen at the gym like 2 weeks ago.
01:10:24
I tried to super. I was like, hey, I'm going to
01:10:26
work in here. You cool?
01:10:27
And he was watching like a Vietnam War movie.
01:10:30
What a young guy. I said hey man, and he didn't
01:10:32
sense it. Fuck it.
01:10:33
No, I just started working right?
01:10:34
You know, like it was an intense scene.
01:10:35
You had to finish it. It was like 20 minutes long it.
01:10:37
Might just be that everybody in this gym, they'd bring like
01:10:39
tripods and stuff. Yes, it's priced well and the
01:10:43
machine, the equipment is really good.
01:10:45
But like, there's a lot of nonsense in here.
01:10:47
Yeah, OK. Well, there was a kid today.
01:10:49
Every, every set he'd finished. He'd finish the set and then
01:10:52
he'd do like 3 or 4 poses in the mirror.
01:10:54
You know, he'd probably weighed about 110 pounds.
01:10:57
I'm like, what is he fucking looking at in the mirror?
01:10:58
There's flexing. What's?
01:11:01
Short term gratification, mind you.
01:11:03
You just look like you need to be 5.
01:11:06
It takes you like months to like, really start to, but you
01:11:09
you. Something you know.
01:11:10
You've also admitted to looking at yourself.
01:11:12
I did. Yeah, almost got completely
01:11:14
naked because everything looked great in the mirror.
01:11:16
But. Like, I got to see how far this
01:11:19
goes. Trade.
01:11:20
That's another. Before you knew it, the cops
01:11:22
were walking. Yeah, Third, right.
01:11:23
That's our, that's the business idea is getting whatever.
01:11:26
These mirrors, whatever mirrors, these gyms you use to make you
01:11:29
look so good. We need to get those and sell
01:11:32
those more. Like, I think it's lighting more
01:11:34
than anything. Oh yeah, so.
01:11:35
I need better lighting on our date.
01:11:39
If I go on a date, I need great lighting.
01:11:41
Hold on, let's. Flip Have you seen Pumping Iron?
01:11:43
No. The This is the documentary that
01:11:46
like put Arnold on the map. As soon as documentary was said,
01:11:49
I was like no. It's about Arnold winning the
01:11:53
Mr. Olympia against Lou Ferrigno in the 70s.
01:11:56
OK oh, I'm intrigued. Oh my gosh, you got to watch.
01:11:58
It's insane. You're you're like, I can't
01:12:00
believe I'm watching. You're telling me.
01:12:01
You're telling me It is so interesting.
01:12:03
Like Conan beat the Hulk. Yeah, I'm telling you, The
01:12:07
Terminator beat the Hulk. Whoa.
01:12:08
Boom. That's all that Fergno did.
01:12:10
We can't keep going with Fergno, right?
01:12:12
Yeah, no, I mean, he kind of played himself after that, but
01:12:16
he did something on like King of Queens, I think he.
01:12:19
Oh yeah, he was on King. I mean, he's not.
01:12:21
It's like hard to put him into something because he's huge and
01:12:24
he's like can't talk that way. Yeah, he can't talk.
01:12:26
He was in a movie. So Arnold, how did Arnold make
01:12:29
it then? How did he make it?
01:12:31
That guy is just pure charisma. And he's also, like he said in
01:12:35
that documentary, he just visualizes things and he makes
01:12:37
it happen. Yeah, I don't know.
01:12:38
He's a he's a very talented and trusted person.
01:12:40
Yeah, I think he's also very smart.
01:12:42
I think he's way smarter than Lou Ferrigno.
01:12:44
I think, no offense to Lou, but yeah, Arnold doesn't.
01:12:47
Well, Lou was about. Lou was going to come on the
01:12:48
show, but. Lou just runs around in torn,
01:12:50
torn shorts, you know? I mean, just Arnold was fucking
01:12:54
Terminator, you know? I think.
01:12:56
I think Arnold is Ryan's man crush, don't you?
01:12:58
I think so. I have a lot of respect for him.
01:13:00
I don't know no let's let's Yeah, but that respect.
01:13:04
So if he came to you today and said, you know what, let's
01:13:06
cuddle for a little, yeah? I'd be like I'm no, I'm good.
01:13:10
That'd be kind of weird, yeah. I.
01:13:11
Don't want to shoot with Arnold, He draws a lot.
01:13:14
He said, Hey, do you want to smoke a cigar?
01:13:16
I'd be like, wow, greatest day ever.
01:13:18
But. But.
01:13:19
He's soon cuddle. Is shit a cigar as soon?
01:13:21
As I mean, I'd like give him a hug, mate.
01:13:23
Like a quick hug. You do a hug.
01:13:24
Like a how like. Hello, Hug.
01:13:26
Little pad. Hug.
01:13:27
Like hey. What's up?
01:13:27
But as soon as he had you. Don't know me.
01:13:29
Why would he hug me, though? That that's in itself as hard.
01:13:31
As soon as he put his hand on his leg, things get awkward.
01:13:34
Done. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:35
No, I'm alright. Well, see, cause Trey wants that
01:13:39
to happen with the Rock. The Rock Oh yeah, you talked
01:13:42
about the. Yeah, one of the show and.
01:13:43
Jason, Statham and Jason, So that was my question earlier.
01:13:46
We we we went off on important things, right?
01:13:49
With Ryan, Jason Statham was an Olympic diver.
01:13:52
Oh. Yeah, and he played soccer, too.
01:13:54
OK, take it easy to yeah. He's like in a music video, just
01:13:57
like dancing in a Speedo. Are you serious?
01:13:59
Oh my God. I gotta find this trey's not
01:14:02
going to be able to stand up for a while.
01:14:03
I'm. Going to bring this then.
01:14:04
He's just like doing this look. Picture Did he have hair in the
01:14:09
video though, at that point? He may have had a little bit.
01:14:11
I think he was mostly bald. He's pretty skinny though.
01:14:13
Yeah, this is like before lock, stock, like back when he was
01:14:16
like still, you know, like diving.
01:14:18
Got you. Like there's videos of him
01:14:20
diving out there like a Trey Thoral, though.
01:14:22
Yeah, can't stand right now. Get a Statham Speedo.
01:14:25
Do you ever see? Romper Stomper.
01:14:26
No. No.
01:14:27
Mean Green. Mean Machine.
01:14:28
Mean Machine, man. We should do it.
01:14:30
Mean Machine. Mean Machine.
01:14:31
They made the What was that movie where Adam Sandler went to
01:14:35
prison and it was a remake of the Reynolds movie.
01:14:37
They did that, but was soccer and it was Vinnie.
01:14:40
It was Vinnie Jones. The, you know, Bullet Tooth Tony
01:14:44
from Snatch? No.
01:14:46
That, you know, like, yeah, right, right.
01:14:47
I seen. Everything British guy, OK, you
01:14:49
know what I'm talking about, OK. He was like the soccer hooligan
01:14:51
and Eurotrip. He was like the head.
01:14:53
Oh. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:14:54
I mean, yeah, we've seen Eurotrip.
01:14:57
Yeah, he goes to prison and he's like the whatever, but just
01:15:01
Statham's in there and he's like this karate knowing like freak
01:15:04
that no one wants to talk to and he turns him into a goalie.
01:15:06
Nah, but it's like a soccer machine.
01:15:08
They play the the guards. OK.
01:15:09
I have to go watch that. OK.
01:15:11
Yeah, there's a bunch of cool, man.
01:15:13
Come on. Oh look, look, I have to do
01:15:15
that. I must not be a good Statham
01:15:18
fan. No, he's going to go home
01:15:19
tonight. I've got a high I Heart Statham
01:15:22
T-shirt, but I guess that doesn't make sense.
01:15:23
No. You're going to go home tonight
01:15:24
and check that film out. I am.
01:15:25
Oh yeah. I thought I liked those I was
01:15:28
going to ask you with. Some happy tissues, all the
01:15:30
questions we were God, he always brings it to happy tissue.
01:15:34
Sorry. If we were the questions I was
01:15:37
asking earlier about the where would you do it?
01:15:40
And DA DA. I was going to ask you if you
01:15:41
had to choose on the Seesaw with the Rock or Jason Statham.
01:15:48
Those are his two boys. I think Statham would be a
01:15:51
little bit more Statham, yeah. The Rock is just too big and
01:15:54
bulky. The Rock would just fucking
01:15:56
yeah, I don't. Think The Rock would stop
01:15:57
talking about him? He would manhandle you.
01:15:59
He would just he would just talk about himself as a third person.
01:16:02
That guy is such a narcissist. I'll try, though.
01:16:04
I wouldn't have to worry about holding myself on the on the
01:16:07
monkey bars because he got us. I think that both of them both
01:16:10
of. Them he turned into a workout.
01:16:11
Yeah, he'd have me in one hand in the hand.
01:16:14
Anyway, so on that note, I can't end with that.
01:16:20
So any other self-awareness, do you have any, could you think of
01:16:22
any that bother you like the grocery store or you know we to
01:16:27
me? Other parents, other parents or
01:16:29
anything like that? Yeah, though there's I'll
01:16:31
definitely give you a parent one.
01:16:32
Give me a parent one. There's like a carport you know
01:16:35
like it's a there's two cars can get through.
01:16:38
It's carports where you pick up the kids, you pull in your car.
01:16:41
There will be parents that will pull in.
01:16:43
And block the 2nd lane. Get out, leave the door open,
01:16:46
walk off your kid. And I'm sitting there with a
01:16:49
loaded car, like waiting. I'm like, why did you do this?
01:16:53
You couldn't park in the parking lot if this was your plan,
01:16:56
right? But they probably put their
01:16:57
hands. One is the passing like no, not
01:16:59
even that, not even that no. It's definitely a pet peeve.
01:17:01
I've complained about it to my wife.
01:17:03
I even called out if I saw a friend of mine do it.
01:17:05
And I saw her like, a week later, I was like, hey, please
01:17:07
don't do that immediately. Like, she's like, you need to
01:17:10
relax. I was like, no, I need to go
01:17:11
home and I can't because you're blocking me.
01:17:14
And I don't appreciate it. Hey, Ryan.
01:17:16
How are you? It's.
01:17:16
Just not aware you. It's just I'd say the general
01:17:19
gripe is not being aware of your surroundings.
01:17:21
There you go. Also hate, hate, littering and
01:17:24
but I think that's just like a more of a general complaint.
01:17:26
I think people litter and know they're littering, yeah.
01:17:29
Yeah. Well, my big one was, was as I
01:17:34
knocked shit over, this is what we do on this show.
01:17:37
My biggest one of my complaints is spitting.
01:17:42
You know, I understand sometimes people, whatever, you have to
01:17:44
spit that that there was a guy at the grocery store that spit
01:17:48
like over my kid into the trash can.
01:17:51
Gross. Did you really need to spit
01:17:54
right there? Could you?
01:17:55
I mean, you're an adult anyway, things like that.
01:17:57
So that's that's what this segment's all about.
01:17:59
Think about it. When you see, and I know now
01:18:02
from here on out when you're going to be driving around and
01:18:04
something's going to happen, you're going to go, this is
01:18:06
great for the show. I'll just text you.
01:18:08
Just text me. You need to complain about this.
01:18:10
Yeah. And I'm and I'll give you credit
01:18:13
for it. You're like Ryan, Yeah, so
01:18:17
that's we do it every show. At the end of the show we it's
01:18:20
kind of like a bitch fest and it lets me vent because people piss
01:18:22
me off and. But we got flag for hate speech.
01:18:25
We did that. Yeah, we got flag for hate
01:18:27
speech because I bitched about people backing into a parking
01:18:30
spot while everybody's waiting. And he's He does.
01:18:35
Yeah. You know, there's a mill.
01:18:37
I think it's an army saying if you have time to plan for a
01:18:41
quick getaway, do it and, you know, backing into.
01:18:46
I mean, don't back into the spot.
01:18:47
I mean, you're waiting either way.
01:18:49
You're going to have to zigzag either way.
01:18:51
I don't know. I'm just saying I support people
01:18:53
backing in. Is that is that what you meant?
01:18:55
Yeah, I was asking. People like you're going to
01:18:57
wait. They're going to pull in
01:18:58
straight and reposition, or they're going to back and it's
01:19:00
probably going to take about the same amount of time.
01:19:02
You just don't like that they're backing in.
01:19:04
I don't like they're backing in because I believe it takes a
01:19:06
little longer and I believe that.
01:19:07
A little longer, yes. Because you're going to have to
01:19:10
back I'll. Give you another one.
01:19:12
People that are drive around waiting for the closest spot
01:19:15
just park and walk you. Need you need the steps.
01:19:18
Especially the ones at the gym. You know, they're waiting for
01:19:21
that front spot. This is the grocery.
01:19:23
Well, maybe a grocery. You got to load the car, I get
01:19:25
that. But still, like anywhere, it's
01:19:26
like just no I I. Don't walk enough.
01:19:28
Yeah, I'll park, I'll park out. I mean, if I have the kids, it
01:19:31
may be a little different, but I'm not going to circle to get
01:19:34
like a great spot if there are other spots at all.
01:19:37
I mean, I I actually like to park out where they when you put
01:19:39
the carts in the thingy next to that because.
01:19:42
My ex used to park so far out we we could have just walked from
01:19:46
home, just left the car there. Why just?
01:19:49
Oh, people that take up two spots because they're.
01:19:52
Like, well, I don't want someone to Ding my car.
01:19:54
Yeah, that's like, well, guess what you're getting?
01:19:55
Yeah, Ding. It's like people.
01:19:57
I mean, I've never dinged someone's car.
01:19:59
I'm just saying like, just like that's what you're asking for,
01:20:01
if you do that right? It's rude.
01:20:04
It's the parking spaces that have the angled line.
01:20:07
You see how this is all about driving?
01:20:09
Yes, it is. It isn't being about driving.
01:20:11
Just wait. So like, imagine if our cities
01:20:13
were built around people instead of cars.
01:20:15
Like how much more comfortable it'd be.
01:20:17
I would love to be able to walk down the street from my house
01:20:20
and take like a subway and then go to dinner and not have to
01:20:23
worry about my well. Have you spent some time in New
01:20:25
York? Chicago.
01:20:27
Yeah, not. Not so much.
01:20:28
I've been in Chicago. Cities are, you know, obviously
01:20:30
not made for cars or, but New York?
01:20:32
Yeah, it's fun. I'm like, well, I walked 76
01:20:36
miles to try Mama Fuko. And I was so disappoint.
01:20:39
I'm sorry, 76 blocks. I was like, yeah, I was like.
01:20:43
Holding your shit. Sorry. 76 blocks came in from.
01:20:45
It was like really good ramen. The the David Chang, I think
01:20:49
that's his name. I'm probably saying and it it
01:20:51
was, it wasn't. It was OK.
01:20:53
It was OK. I was like, wow, I walk this far
01:20:55
for this. We were hoping for his
01:20:57
sponsorship but. No, no, I don't know.
01:20:59
I did Milk Bar. It was, I don't know.
01:21:01
I just. I just was not impressed.
01:21:03
I've had better stuff here. Dallas has a solid foods.
01:21:06
It does. It's very underrated.
01:21:08
It's just people people don't think of.
01:21:10
I could go down rabbit holes forever.
01:21:14
That's what we do here. Chicago is a pretty good food
01:21:17
town. Dallas is amazing.
01:21:18
It is. It is night and day better than
01:21:20
it was when I first got here. Do you have a favorite
01:21:22
restaurant? Mothai BA whoops.
01:21:25
Hold on. It's Vietnamese.
01:21:27
It's Vietnamese for 123. We need it.
01:21:30
Oh, OK. God bless you.
01:21:31
Mothai BA Vietnamese restaurant. Yeah, but it's a Serbian chef.
01:21:36
And he got into some trouble with some social media stuff.
01:21:39
So someone listening might not like this, but his food isn't.
01:21:42
Hey, we want people to not like this on our show.
01:21:45
His food, I think he he opened a restaurant right when COVID
01:21:48
started. I think he was under some stress
01:21:49
and maybe like vented a little bit on social media.
01:21:52
Imagine his sex trafficking and stuff like that.
01:21:54
It just probably wouldn't. Oh man, Modai BA and then Chris
01:21:57
and John in Addison. That would have been there, That
01:22:00
went totally opposite Mohabba. Yeah, Chris and John is actually
01:22:03
a Vietnamese street food place, but it is.
01:22:06
So they'll make burritos and quesadillas, but it's like pho
01:22:09
and ramen are the ingredients interesting?
01:22:11
So you get like, a pho dilla where you dip it in broth.
01:22:14
What? It's an Addison Addison dude.
01:22:16
It's super quick like belt liner on the in the well, no one
01:22:19
gives. A shit South of Beltline we have
01:22:21
Philippine listeners. They don't know where the hell
01:22:23
Addison is. It's north of here.
01:22:24
Oh, it's so good. It's so good.
01:22:26
Meridian is really good too. Overall, S yeah, our Sri Lanka
01:22:29
listener is not going to give a fuck where this Addison circle.
01:22:32
Yeah, I think those are my top three right now.
01:22:34
Okay, What about you? Do you have some that you like?
01:22:36
So you're a big Asian fusion, Asian Vietnam.
01:22:40
Well, fusion in general is the best food because you're taking
01:22:43
the best part of two things. You combine them.
01:22:46
Asian cultures. Just have had have clashed with
01:22:50
so many other cultures, Vietnam in particular.
01:22:53
They had the Dutch there, they had the French there that we
01:22:55
came in. Every time that happened, their
01:22:57
food only got better. That's true.
01:22:58
You go to Ho Chi Minh, which is an incredible city.
01:23:02
I spent a week there and I loved it.
01:23:03
That's on our list, right? Ho Chi Minh.
01:23:06
It's Saigon. It's called Ho Chi Minh now.
01:23:08
Yeah, it's it's we need. We might need some coats.
01:23:10
It's a little chilly. Is it?
01:23:12
It's, it's you get like a a dollar and 40, you know, like
01:23:16
$1.40. Bon me.
01:23:18
You know what Bon me is? Nope.
01:23:20
It's like they're hoagie, but it's on really good French bed
01:23:23
because the French were there. OK.
01:23:25
And it's like the it's the it'll be the best.
01:23:29
Bon me you've ever had. All right.
01:23:31
Ho Chi Minh. Yeah, that sounds like OK,
01:23:33
that's where we're gonna go. I.
01:23:34
Like it at some point, I don't know.
01:23:37
But that's that's interesting though, the fusion thing,
01:23:41
because I never thought about. That, yeah, I never thought
01:23:42
about that aspect of it. Whatever.
01:23:44
I mean to me it's like and I lived in Glasgow, Scotland for a
01:23:47
while and their fusion was. There's no fusion.
01:23:51
It was It was fish and chips. It was fish and chips pizza and
01:23:56
and India Curry. Curry Yeah.
01:24:00
And that's the Indian thing, was pizza, fish and chips and Curry.
01:24:06
And the Curry is the best part. And that's British, That's
01:24:08
British people cooking Indian people's food.
01:24:11
It's fusion. Oh yeah, In America we've got
01:24:13
pizza, you know, Italian. But we brought all these things
01:24:16
in. We've made them better, you
01:24:17
know, because you you just take it one level up.
01:24:20
Yeah. Anyway, that well, that's good.
01:24:21
I mean, I well, we could talk food, Trey.
01:24:23
Trey likes his food. He doesn't eat a lot.
01:24:25
But I. Know this is gonna be the
01:24:27
longest episode ever. No.
01:24:28
It's good we'll we'll we'll end it here.
01:24:31
I I had so much fun I I I hope I I really wanted to get into your
01:24:37
mindset when it came to to just just being an entrepreneur and
01:24:41
just the business side of things and how to do it and I I learned
01:24:44
a lot I mean I knew some of it. It's fun but it's fun to learn
01:24:49
and and the perspectives that you have and that's why I I hope
01:24:52
you'll come back sure. And and he says that on the air
01:24:57
and then off the air, he's like, no, no.
01:24:58
No, I'm Doug. I'm kidding.
01:25:00
Talk too much? No.
01:25:01
Well, not at all. Look who this might be the most
01:25:05
I did. This is yeah, this is different
01:25:06
for our guest to actually talk on the show.
01:25:08
So Brian, they give me a hard time because I interrupt and I
01:25:12
do this tonight. I I I really, I worked hard to
01:25:14
sit back, held my football and I said I'm gonna let him go ahead.
01:25:19
But, but we actually had a Russian nurse said by the time
01:25:22
our guest talked she was uninterested.
01:25:24
Now it's because she was Russian.
01:25:26
She she's not. She didn't get our humor.
01:25:28
Brilliant. She literally said the three
01:25:31
things were like, these guys aren't funny.
01:25:34
These guys are something crude and and then they took too long
01:25:38
to get to the guest. She was not a fan at all.
01:25:41
But you know what I welcome that criticism.
01:25:43
So I hope to have you back. You're a good man.
01:25:46
I I enjoy hearing your stuff and I wish you the best in
01:25:49
everything that you do. I think Trey and I are going to
01:25:52

01:27:36
disappointed that our senior citizen strip club is not going

I really thought that was going to be our golden.
01:27:43
