Introduction and Episode Theme
00:00:00
Speaker
We're hot. We're hot. We're live. We're doing it live. We're doing it live. Three, two, one, and action. Welcome to the Boys to Men podcast, where today we're going to be talking about
00:00:19
Speaker
We're not talking about HTech.
In-Person Recordings and Upcoming Episode
00:00:20
Speaker
We're doing HTech. We're doing hard to answer questions. We're talking about questions that are really hard to answer, and then we're actually going to answer them. Yeah. Also, we're in person again, so. We're in a row. Yeah, we're in a row. We're doing a row. Consistency. And when was the last time we did this? Like last week. Like about literally a week ago. Like literally a week ago, yeah. Seven days from when this was recorded. Six, actually, because it was on Tuesday. It was Tuesday.
00:00:45
Speaker
Yeah, we really are getting back on schedule. We're going to be doing something super cool.
Scheduling Challenges with Guest Ephraim
00:00:52
Speaker
Our next episode just as a little sneak peek is going to be
00:00:59
Speaker
Hopefully our next episode. With Ephraim. With Ephraim. Ephraim will be joining us for the D&D episodes. Yeah. Actually, I think he was just having for most of the game episodes. Yeah. He's a good idea. I mean, I think because of his war schedule, it's kind of hard. Good content. Also, you guys should probably schedule that out. Because he has his work time. Bro, that's going to be so tough.
00:01:20
Speaker
Yeah. Probably gonna have to be like night time thing. Yeah. Also, yeah, India's like 12 and a half hours ahead from here. So I'll be like... It'll be midday for you and we'll all just be like exhausted. Well, no, if it's like this time, then it'll be like 12 in the night. It will not be this time. Yeah. Like we just said. You guys should, we should do it our normal time at like 12 in the night here. So it'll be like in the afternoon for me. That's a good idea.
Podcast's New Gaming Direction
00:01:45
Speaker
Yeah. But also as far as just like,
00:01:48
Speaker
our content goes, it shouldn't necessarily interfere with what we do regularly. But it is kind of a new main road that we would like to take with our with our podcast. So just gaming. Yeah. Yeah. Just like open source, word based games that like like dread dread was kind of our
00:02:11
Speaker
are jumping off point to see how that would fare. And since people like dread a lot, we decided we'd go into something a little bit more
00:02:22
Speaker
complex yeah it was pretty good and also part two is finally kind of at some point I know everyone was just holding on to the past six months they're like guys stop posting this nonsense where's part two for dread
Audience Engagement and Humor
00:02:41
Speaker
Yeah, so just we should all just refresh you the audience just refresh yourselves in the first episode probably re-watch it because it was a really good episode and don't forget to donate Yes, give us all your money if you want more content more epic content. Yeah, let's just gaslight them in the spend giving us money Yeah, yeah, that's what we want to do. Oh, it's like everything. It's not Joe Robin. I'm pretty sure that's what Joe Robin did. Like Spotify? Yeah, he gaslights Spotify. Oh, yeah
00:03:10
Speaker
He's like, um, Spotify.
Podcast Roles and Setup
00:03:13
Speaker
Yeah. So in this, uh, when this podcast is, uh, who's gaslight, who's gatekeeping, who's grown boss, who's Jamie. We need Jamie actually. We need just someone who just like pulls up stuff when we're talking about it. Just like, I mean, I know he knows literally considering I'm at a computer desk with literally just a screen of a.
00:03:32
Speaker
Squidman who's very angry. It builds to ambiance, to be honest with you. Yeah, the ambiance of our heart. It's really making me feel like I want to answer hard questions right now. Yeah, I can't lie. Let's get into it.
Pop-Tarts Debate
00:03:45
Speaker
You want to do hard questions first? Let's do hard questions first. Okay, this may be coincidental, but what are your thoughts on Pop Tarts? And I think we should go through as many Pop Tarts as we can, because it's a lot.
00:03:59
Speaker
Wait, do you mean, like, brands of Pop-Tarts? No. Because, like, you know, there's the off-brand Pop-Tarts. Or just, like, flavors of Pop-Tarts. Okay. Honestly, I can hardly ever tell the difference between the brands of Pop-Tarts other than just, like...
00:04:14
Speaker
quantity of like pastries yeah or like you know like the what's the like the glaze on the pastry you know usually I've noticed that you usually find less glaze on the off-brand ones than you do on the popped up I think a little bit cheaper yeah this tiny bit
00:04:32
Speaker
No, sometimes it's like three quarters of... Really? Yeah. I noticed this the other day when I was feasting on multiple pop-tarts. And they were off-brand? Yes. They were off-brand, yeah. And I had some on-brand pop-tarts, actual pop-tarts, like the day before. Right. So it's fresh in my mind. Yeah. I mean, my first pop-tart ever was the classic strawberry.
00:04:59
Speaker
Is that classic? I don't know. Well, yeah, it's the one of the basic ones Yeah, and I'm not like I was I get used to the basic and I think the blue runs okay, and then like brown sugar. I think other than that You're a fan of the brown sugar. No, no, no, I'm just saying like you're not you don't like the brown sugar Well, I wouldn't pick it over the other one. I wouldn't say there's a bad problem. I would say it is elite Especially toast
00:05:26
Speaker
healthy Trader Joe's Pop-Tarts and that was the brown sugar flavor so I really liked that. And then I went to my Oklahoma grandma's house and she had these like peanut butter stuffed Pop-Tarts
Breakfast Habits and Sugary Cereals
00:05:40
Speaker
and they were heavenly man. They were so... Were they real Pop-Tarts? What? No no no they were real Pop-Tarts. Oh wow. I remember the peanut butter. Yeah it's like peanut butter on the inside and then chocolate on the outside or something like that.
00:05:55
Speaker
I feel like given that the pop-tart breading part is already really dry, that would just screw up the outside of your mouth. It wasn't pretty smooth, it wasn't like a stupid chunky like beef. Like you know when dogs eat peanut butter? Yeah. That's just what I imagined where they're just like...
00:06:16
Speaker
Like water like dry sponge ugly water Which is why I usually prefer like the jelly filled pop tarts because those are usually like yeah Yeah, the first ones in my opinion are the best they're too good But like I love like a s'mores here and there s'mores are like our coffee cart used to have a pretty good selection Yeah, but if you're eating it for breakfast, I don't think anyone anyone would should want that
00:06:41
Speaker
Also, I don't know why you start your day off with pop-tarts. That just is so bad. And as a kid, you're like, yeah, pop-tarts now. I think they have about 25 grams of sugar per pop-tarts. What do you think about what just kids ate in general? I mean, yeah, I guess children for breakfast. I mean, honestly, I had a pretty decent breakfast when I was younger. My dad, he'd be like,
00:07:03
Speaker
like too hardboiled egg. You're home alone, you're eight years old, what are you eating for breakfast? Oh yeah, if I'm home alone, I'm having like three cups of cereal. Exactly, that's the whole point. Like the sugary, like Lucky Charms, literally just sugar. Just sugar. Yeah. I never had that. My mom wouldn't let me get it. Exactly. Not Lucky Charms. I didn't get Lucky Charms. You get three bowls of that. Three bowls? Like I just said.
00:07:27
Speaker
Okay, okay, that's for me. Okay, that's a bit of exaggeration I'm gonna I'm not gonna lie to you cereals a type of food where you eat five bowls and one sitting and then you just don't eat it again for months for me at least I mean It was either it was either whole wheat Cheerios Or like eggs
00:07:53
Speaker
Just eggs. Shout out to eggs. Eggs is not human eggs. So I had like four eggs every day for every morning of high school. Every morning of high school I would wake up, I would make myself four
Favorite Pop-Tart Flavors
00:08:10
Speaker
eggs with salt and pepper. And by the end of high school I could not stomach eggs at all. They were the most disgusting thing to me.
00:08:21
Speaker
Which I mean that's probably unfortunate because eggs or at least chicken eggs are probably like one of the most Healthy like protein dense things you could eat. Yeah. Well, it's always good to pair eggs, too You know, I love I love putting eggs in my breakfast sandwiches. You put some some ham
00:08:45
Speaker
What was the question again? Poptarts? Yes, back to our pastry. Best Poptart for me would in fact be brown sugar. Toasted. I would probably go either strawberry or raw. Raw. Uncooked. Straight out of the package. Unadulterated. Unadulterated. Unadulterated strawberry. Either that or if I want to be frisk, I'd probably go s'mores. S'mores is pretty good. Did you say frisky? Yeah.
00:09:16
Speaker
I would say the peanut butter pop tarts are my favorite. Can you pull it? Yeah, I want to see I'm gonna Jamie Jamie pull that up Yeah, he's like the guy who pulls up all the stuff like we're not talking about stuff. Yeah, I mean I hate jogging too, but like I think he's funny It's these ones
00:09:38
Speaker
What in the god nutty? That looks impossible to eat. No, no, no. They were good. They were good. They were pop-tarts gone. It was like a thinner. Is it like a cross-brand with a nutter butter? I don't know. Dude, that's what we're talking about. That looks like the farm for a nutter butter. Well, yeah, but they're usually all owned by the same kimono. It's Kellogg's. It's Kellogg's. It's the same nutter butter. So I don't know. Anyways, they're really good. If you ever get the chance, I'm going to try it.
00:10:10
Speaker
They're dense in protein. I've never seen that ever. They're really real and healthy. If I saw a box that said gone nutty, I would grab it. I mean, nutty buddies exist. Oh my gosh, those are good.
00:10:29
Speaker
My grandpa would get nutty buddies and bring them with him every time he came from
Snack Combinations and Sugar Content
00:10:34
Speaker
Vegas. No nutty buddies are like a wafer with peanut butter in the middle and they're covered in chocolate. Actually I don't think my chocolate and peanut butter is something that I, when I was younger I really liked white bread.
00:10:50
Speaker
Nutella peanut butter now. I don't know what else. Oh, yeah I mean Reese's puffs made a whole rap about how chocolate and peanut butter go together. Chocolate and peanut butter. Did you ever do Nutella and then marshmallow spread? Oh no, that actually kind of sounds...
00:11:09
Speaker
Fluffer nutters. Fluffer nutters. Fluffer nutters with peanut butter. Fluffer nutter sandwiches are pretty good. I only discovered them when I went to the east coast and I realized it was popular there because I've never heard of it anywhere else. See I went to a specialty sandwich shop in Oklahoma that was from the east.
00:11:36
Speaker
Yeah, it seems to be a popular snack that they have over there. Yeah, there's a lot of snacks to choose.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah, because it doesn't seem like it's really much of anything. It doesn't have that much in it, but it tastes amazing. It tastes good. It's just a lot of sugar. It is. How much sugar is in that? I don't even know. I mean, it's probably like counterbalanced by it. Not counterbalanced, but like there's enough protein in there for you to feel like, oh yeah, I'm being healthy. Yeah, I was never a
Diet vs Regular Snacks
00:12:02
Speaker
connoisseur of pop tarts. So I think my favorite was the strawberry one. And then if I was just really feeling
00:12:09
Speaker
into it i would get s'mores oh they're discontinued oh yeah that's probably why i never heard of them the peanut butter okay if they make a peanut butter jelly version i actually kind of might like that oh that would be good yeah let's make our own what what would your if you could make a pop tart flavor let's make it let's call it top parts yeah and then and then of course there's the
00:12:41
Speaker
Oh man, that's like, oh god. What? Top farts. Top farts got nutty. That's actually a really good one, yeah. Yeah, that's great, yeah, I'm sure. Sharks, do I have an idea for you? Top farts? PBJ. Gone nutty.
00:13:01
Speaker
Nineteen grams of sugar. It really offsets with the two grams of carbs. I probably seem really kicking in. Yeah, two grams of carbs. I mean, maybe, oh wait, per container.
00:13:23
Speaker
Yes. Um. Pops hearts are
Critique of Diet Sodas
00:13:26
Speaker
good. Pops hearts are pretty good. You don't have like mini ones now. Like a baby. Oh yeah. Those are gross. Those are kind of annoying. And how are you going to toast them? Put them in a toaster. You don't toast, it's more like a snack thing. You just kind of like pop it in your mouth. Ah bro. But when I had it, like I had like five or two years ago, the icing is super crunchy and I hate that. Like it's just 90% icing and you're like crunching through the bone meal. It's so annoying. And then. Like the Minecraft item.
00:13:50
Speaker
Yeah, basically bone is a real thing. I know okay, but it was an idea for my cuz you're a jamer I Got mayor yeah, where do you think the real life item came? Yeah from Minecraft just like how they got what do you think a dirt? Yeah, so you know they got the buildings from Fortnite I
00:14:12
Speaker
Yo, it's Tilted Towers from Fortnite. Yeah. Wait, why are they gone? I don't want to make the joke. I think he already did. Yeah, it does. Okay, well, really quick for Popdarts. You guys like toasted microwave or rock? Toasted.
00:14:30
Speaker
I've I usually only eat them raw because I don't really like them toasted. I've never tried them toasted. Really? Yeah, it is. Well, yeah, I feel like having them warm just doesn't sound seem as satisfying as well because the jelly I like the jelly ones having toasted jelly doesn't sound appealing. It probably does because if you toast a brown sugar once actually get a glass of milk and
00:14:57
Speaker
Actually, I want to try a smaller one. Maybe that would be more s'mores. I feel like heating up the fruit one became more like a like a pie but at the same time like and that's way too sugary. I feel like those who would be better off honestly putting in the fridge. A frozen Pop-Tart? Not a frozen, but like a cold one. Dude, like a toaster shoodle? I thought I hated that, never mind. No, just like a cold. Cold Pop-Tart. What do you think a toaster shoodle can do?
00:15:28
Speaker
everything from Minecraft. Now Pop-Tarts came from Minecraft, but where did Minecraft come from? From Toaster Truths. We know what we're talking about. This is the content you guys came for. Alright. Groundbreaking discoveries on the voice of a party. Do you guys ever feel like diet stuff are equal to the regular things? What? Like diet, food,
Health Impacts of Diet Choices
00:15:54
Speaker
snacks,
00:15:55
Speaker
Most of it is the only thing I could think of is soda. Yeah, I'm not really sure what you're well, let's think what's specific. Like diet. Diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet,
00:16:17
Speaker
fried or whatever. You didn't have that much oil. Or like the baked chips. Yeah, those are obviously better, but like if you're trying to compare vegetable chips to fried chips. No, no, I'm saying like plain, like because the whole thing about diet is it's like a normal thing. So you have soda, you have like Dr. Pepper and you have diet Dr. Pepper. I mean we can...
00:16:38
Speaker
I mean, we could go over different kinds of diet stuff and then compare them to their original. Yeah, we could start with soda. Soda is probably the most popular one.
00:16:50
Speaker
Diet Coke sucks just saying that right now as someone who is kind of enjoys coke Diet Coke is just it's I think the thing for me is knowing what coke tastes like and in tasting that you're kind of like It's like artificial sugar or something. Yes Way too faint for me. I just don't see the appeal of coke
00:17:12
Speaker
The cool thing about aspartame is it is so sweet that your tongue can't comprehend how sweet it is, so it tastes less sweet. But it's actually way more sweet than normal sugar. Yeah, yeah. So it's actually worse for you. Interesting. Yeah, and also just like, I don't see the point in drinking diet. No, it's worse for your health. I just don't see the point in drinking a diet soda. Just drink something healthier. Like a tea.
00:17:41
Speaker
Oh, okay. I didn't know where that was going. Actually, no, no. They're like water. Speaking of tea? Because here's the thing. I work at a fast food restaurant, right? And I've been to people who have ordered at a restaurant, like a fast food restaurant. They'll be like, let me get three burgers, two sides of fries, and a diet coke because I'm on a diet.
00:18:04
Speaker
They say that doesn't it? Yes. Diet is not for a diet. Yeah. Diet is to make yourself feel better about yourself. Because, oh, you're taking away sugars. Well, I mean, say you're diabetic. That's true, but it doesn't happen. That's really the only reason why. But it's a band-aid solution, is the problem. Yeah. Even with that, too, I don't think it's going to help diabetic people any bit.
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah, but I agree. I agree with Jacob. You could just choose any other type of drink if you actually want to be healthy. Water. But I mean, the option... But coke is habit forming.
00:18:43
Speaker
Well, we figured it into why it was always habit forming. I mean, even now, even after the cocaine was not in it, it is habit forming because three main ingredients, sugar, caffeine, corn syrup, or something like that. Corn syrup is sugar. Corn syrup is just sugar. There's 30 different names from sugar that they put in labels just in the name, not sugar sugar.
00:19:07
Speaker
Caffeine, sugar, and then a little bit of salt, they're all addictive. I'm pretty sure I said this last time, but you drink Coke enough, you form a habit, and you can't get rid of the Coke even though you're on a diet, and so you do the diet option. Because, well, you know, it's a little bit better, but I still get to have my Coke, but diet Coke is even more addictive than regular Coke.
00:19:36
Speaker
Welcome to First World Problems. First World Problems. Yeah, make better choices for yourselves.
Healthier Drink Options
00:19:42
Speaker
Yeah. Nothing wrong with water. Just be better. Just literally not do water.
00:19:47
Speaker
I love water water is good, especially when it's like when it's flavored with like fruits and stuff Yeah, I'm usually fan of that because they have it in like hotel lobbies It tastes a little I would rather have plain it might just be it might just be an acquired. Yeah, it's
00:20:13
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Just higher up people. Yeah, it has nothing to do with the disposition. Yeah, waiter. Yeah, I'm seeing a separation right here. Yeah, or is it line? Yeah. But that, thank you. But you're speaking of tea. Recently, not recently, but I stopped drinking Snapple. Right. Snapple isn't necessarily healthy tea. It's not, it's not. And also diet stuff was utter garbage. And I probably had like Snapple like maybe
00:20:44
Speaker
I'd say like maybe once or twice like a week, but then I switched over to Arizona tea and Their diet Arnold Palmer their diet iced tea and lemonade is so good, but also Yeah, I was like maybe 10 grams of sugar
00:21:02
Speaker
which in the entire 99 cents can. And I'm like, that is way better than sample, which has like, I think it's like one bottle has like, sample probably has like at least 20 to 30. It's like 30, 38 grand, it's bad. Yeah, tea is horrible if it's sweetened, which is why people down south are usually as proportionate as they are because they have their sweet teas.
00:21:25
Speaker
Very, very sweet. It's only sweetened with sugar. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with plain OT. Why not just use honey? That's what I use. That's what Arizona to use. Right. Yeah, Arizona to use honey. We're looking at the facts. School? Yeah, let's see that. Let's see the facts. 13 grams of sugar. Yeah.
00:21:46
Speaker
Which still isn't great. It's not great, but also compared to 30 grams of sugar, you get way more than that one big can than that small wildlife snapple. Yeah. Like nutritionally, but also like, I don't know. If you're, again, water's better, but that's also... Well, I mean, your body...
00:22:03
Speaker
need stuff that isn't just water as well, which is why they have electrolyte stuff. Hey, coconut water is pretty good too. Just put a little salt in your water if you need some of that good energy. Yeah. The half and half green tea. The half and half green tea is like green
Tea Preferences and Cultural Habits
00:22:20
Speaker
tea and lemonade. It only has one gram of sugar. But it probably has like sugar alcohol. Sherving size is 12 shervings.
00:22:34
Speaker
Well, the green tea Arnold Palmer's is not good. So I I've gotten into tea too within the last year. I drank a lot of it. Are you reconnecting with your heritage? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So would you say you're
00:22:54
Speaker
I'm gonna sneeze and I don't want to sneeze. Alright, let's just have a look. Oh! Goodness gracious! Oh! Oh! Crush me! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick! My dick!
00:23:23
Speaker
Yeah. Back to the episode. Back to the episode. You got into tea recently? Yeah, within the last year. And black tea and green tea are actually very different. And I'm wondering what you prefer Ayush, as someone who has always been an avid tea maker, your expertise.
00:23:41
Speaker
Well, I mean, I've had a lot of teas. Like, if you're talking about specific black and green tea. Yeah, just pure, unadulterated. Like, you just took it straight out of the bag? Or do you have, like, no additives? Like, are you talking, like, you made a pitcher of green or black tea? Or you made a, like, a mug of black or green tea? That's actually a good point. That's a good point.
00:24:07
Speaker
So I only have experience in cold iced teas. I think for me the concentration depends. I like a lighter green tea because green tea is like a bit more like...
00:24:16
Speaker
It comes out a bit more, it's a bit more bitter. Black tea, I think, works really well with something. It has a more solid flavor. Yeah, but green tea by itself is pretty nice. I like green tea. I've come to that conclusion too. I prefer green tea by itself, just purely unsweetened, and I could drink a whole bottle of that. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's really good for you. Green tea is really good. I think green tea is the only one of those two that works hot.
00:24:40
Speaker
I also like green tea over black tea unless it's with something like lemonade or honey. Yeah. Oh, yeah black tea you probably like to you Yeah, yeah Well Arizona green tea is actually really good because it has like ginger and honey. Yeah, so I like that
00:24:58
Speaker
My favorite tea brand is Pure Leaf. You don't want to get any of their sweetened teas because they have like 100% of your daily value of sugar in them. Because apparently tea companies just love doing that. I've noticed that with almost every tea company. If it's sweetened, it just has...
00:25:18
Speaker
Because they want you to like you yeah, but I drink sweet tea drink Yeah, they get they get hooked on it, but I actually prefer the unsweetened Flavors of both and do you get that?
00:25:31
Speaker
Do you get green tea more? Yeah, I do tend to get the green tea because I just like the more subtle flavors. It's not as staunchy as black tea. Also, I think for black tea, it kind of depends on where you're getting it. More organic ones, I feel, are better. And you just add a little bit of lime to it and it'll be better.
00:25:50
Speaker
but also like whenever i make it black tea usually for me will be hot mainly because i like to do it from the either the bag or like strain it yeah and the flavor comes a bit better also you get to control how much
00:26:06
Speaker
you want it true well yeah but i mean when you're preparing black tea you are always going to prepare it hot and then you yeah cool it down do you drink it while it's hot or do you cool it down i mean i always prefer hot tea okay but like i'm gonna see well you're you had snapple for like five years straight yeah that's true that's what i'm saying cold it's very cold with something is better but also hot tea by itself kind of
00:26:31
Speaker
it takes up half the flavor. Yeah, I think it's because we I've always lived in Arizona that I don't really like hot drinks.
00:26:40
Speaker
I mean, I've also lived in Arizona for like almost my entire life, but if you got to choose your battles, like what would you like? I prefer hot coffee more than cold coffee. I just don't know. For me, I like I never will go on my way to choose cold coffee. Unless I'm like a Frappuccino, like even then to like, I will never go out of my way to have cold coffee. Coffee just tastes better. I agree. The flavor comes out so much more. And I think honestly,
00:27:06
Speaker
Again, also... It's stronger when it's hot, it's sweeter when it's cold. Yeah, yeah. That's the thing. My tongue also has gotten more used to having a little bit of that bitterness. So, you know, I'd rather have that than just cold. I mean, cold coffee is not bad, it's just, I don't know, something about it. I feel like cold just kind of blunts some of the flavors. Yeah, yeah.
00:27:29
Speaker
that you would otherwise get while it's hot. Yeah. You'd still get less coffee. Because you're getting less blood flow to your tongue. So like you wouldn't. Yeah. I don't know. And taste buds and everything. Yeah. I mean, in India? Well, I mean, unless you burn them. Which I do quite often, unfortunately. Yes. Charcoal. Like, I've made tea. When I had tea bags, I would make tea every single day in my dorm.
00:27:58
Speaker
And then I would burn my tongue almost every single day because I couldn't wait until it was cool enough, or I couldn't tell when it was hot or when it was cool enough, which is really annoying. I mean, if heat's an issue, I mean, that's a different thing. You guys got to get used to it. Like my tongue. Yeah, no, sorry. I like tasting things without, you know, whenever I'm not drinking hot. Yeah. I mean, bring your tongue. It sucks. But also, like,
00:28:27
Speaker
I don't know, it depends. Sucks to suck. Yeah. If you go to India, you're probably not. But if you ever go to any Indian state, they will not serve cold stuff. Like, they just don't. Coffee is always hot. Tea, they don't use tea, they choose chai. But chai is always hot.
00:28:45
Speaker
No matter what. Like there'll be a guy driving like a little bicycle and he's got like a hotpot behind him and he's just cycling around. He's like, yeah, it's kind of hype. One chai. And I'm like, yeah. And he's like, okay, it gets off and then just pours hot cup of chai. Like in the morning or like during the day.
00:29:01
Speaker
24-7. That's serving chai. That's crazy.
Cultural Significance of Chai and Fuel Costs
00:29:05
Speaker
And also, the chai in India is obviously black tea with masala chai. They add spices and stuff to it, so it's super aromatic. And then they add hot milk that's flavored with saffron. Oh, okay. Dude, slaps. Can you bring some? Can you bring some back? I can make it. No, but bring the specific chai.
00:29:27
Speaker
Not the hot chive, but like the chive. The theme of CSA, like that is for my friends. Yeah, I can make it. If you go to an Indian store, they always sell Indian tea that you can pour in hot water.
00:29:42
Speaker
Is it grown from India usually? Yeah, it's imported. So, oh, okay. So it's not like fresh necessarily. I mean, yeah, I was, when you go to India, it's usually gonna be fresh, but it's still pretty good here. It's so comparably. Yeah. But if you brought some back from India, do you think that would be better than if you got it at the store? Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah. There's stores that sell coffee beans, like Indian coffee, I think is... We'll have to do a little taste test, a little ASMR video. Yeah, we could.
00:30:12
Speaker
I mean, it's not that hard to make, honestly. I can make it. But yeah, in India, they don't serve anything but the hot stuff. Interesting. Which is weird, because the environment there is, like, very, too big. It's so weird. It's so weird. People just, like, turn off their, like, their nerves just turn off whenever they're drinking hot stuff for a place that's superhuman. I mean, I guess it kind of keeps the hot stuff hot. That's true. Yeah.
00:30:33
Speaker
It's pretty nice. I wouldn't necessarily choose to drink a very hot drink in a climate like India. And honestly, India's gotten more modern. We're like Starbucks, and a lot of different modern coffee shops have come. But they still don't have much business because people would rather go.
00:30:49
Speaker
get like it's like a five cent you get like this big cup of chai like it's five for five cents right five five american cents or five indians five american cents oh it's like one rupee interesting it's like that is super super cheap hey it's worth it honestly it's really good how much is a flight to india uh right now five thousand dollars yeah very very expensive very very expensive why is that uh a flight to another state right now is probably around 700
00:31:15
Speaker
It just, this is how it is now. I mean, it's not just inflation. Everything's expensive. Everything's expensive, but also, like, jet fuel and planes and pilots. And we do seem to be having a gas issue. Yes. Not like, not internal, like a human body gas, but like outside. Yeah, I figured that we weren't talking. Earth's internal gas. Yes, I think we're all just excessively farting. We gotta find some new gas somewhere. Yeah. Or a new source of energy.
Nuclear Energy Discussion
00:31:45
Speaker
We should, yeah. We go back to Fallout days. Yeah, nuclear energy. Yeah, nuclear energy is great. We should do that. I mean, nuclear fission is, like, non-problematic. Aside from the whole, you know, having it handled uranium and all that stuff. No, that'd be fusion. Not fission. Oh, fission, fission, fission, fission. Yeah, fusion is, yeah. I don't think a lot of people are scared of hydrogen. No, they're not. Yeah, yeah. I mean, no, no, we're good. No.
00:32:15
Speaker
I had to do one of my senior physics projects on nuclear fission versus fusion and like... What'd you guys do for that? Do you remember? I did lasers. You did lasers... Wait, what? For which one? For the senior physics... When we switched to online. Oh, oh. And we had to do those make a video projects. Yes, yes. I made a pinhole camera. Oh nice. That's cool. That is pretty cool. Yeah.
00:32:40
Speaker
and it was like super jank. The hardest part, it kind of worked, but the hardest part was finding like photo paper that like the main thing was like photo paper right now is you can just put it into like normal cameras and they'll work but with a pinhole camera because of how like precise you have to be with it. If it doesn't work out, it's just like a bunch of like random streaks on the photo paper.
00:33:04
Speaker
Also, I couldn't find photo photo paper. Yeah, it's a little dated. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, you're at the worst part is you're at home. You can't go out and like most stores don't have them So I'm just like on Amazon like photo paper and something Okay, my project is doing like four days and this thing's like I'm like a week. I'm like, all right Whatever just I got like some printer something paper at home. I was gonna try it. Did you make it? Did it work? It kind of worked like I took a picture of like
00:33:34
Speaker
The sun. For some reason that didn't come as sun. That's my word, Kai. I was expecting a 4K picture of the sun, but I got a black circle. What's wrong with this thing? It's all about the effort. I don't know what happened.
00:33:56
Speaker
I think there might be a little too much lighting for sure. You're pointing at the sun. A little bit too much light. For my pinhole camera.
High School Physics Projects
00:34:11
Speaker
A homemade pinhole camera. You made a really small pinhole. I'm pretty sure it was really small. I took like a safety pin. Yeah, the size of a pin? Yeah. A pinhole the size of a pin.
00:34:26
Speaker
What was the original question? What were we answering? Something about hot versus cold. No, we're talking about hot versus cold. No, we're talking about diet stuff. Oh, diet. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yes. How did that get there? Because tea is healthier, I guess. Yeah, because we're talking about, like, healthier. Yeah. Diet. Yeah, diet's useless. So diet, diet drinks are useless. Drink water. Drink water. 8 cups a day. 8 cups? What was it? 8 cups? Something like that.
00:34:52
Speaker
it's like a percentage of your body weight 64 ounces oh yeah yeah it depends on how much human you are yes how much water you are yeah it's not it's eight glasses of water not eight cups whoa wouldn't you want an exact measurement not a
00:35:10
Speaker
I was always taught eight glasses. Not in class, but... I think it's ounces. It's like half of your body weight in ounces. Yeah. You know, I'm pretty sure it's like 64 or something. Half of your body weight? No, no, no, no. If you weigh 100, it's 50 ounces of water. Oh, okay. Half of your body weight in ounces. In liquid ounces. In liquid ounces. Not pounds. I weigh 150 pounds. You gotta drink 75 pounds of water. Jesus Christ.
00:35:41
Speaker
My 64 is like about the average because for kids they're usually around they can go up to 100. Dude I drink so little water when I was a kid. Like I remember not drinking proper water when I was a kid. I don't know.
00:35:57
Speaker
you drew oh you would you read I yeah I should have drank more water when I was younger you said you already drank a lot of water I do a lot more now oh you didn't I was younger dude I was so like dumb huh like even like normal liquids too like I don't know I just didn't I just didn't
00:36:16
Speaker
What about, well, I mean, you probably had a lot of milk, though, because... I guess, yeah. Milk is Indian, and it's... It's just like a strong ball when someone pushes you. Yeah, I think milk is a pretty good, not substitute, but... I mean, yeah, milder... Additive to your drinking habits. Yeah.
00:36:34
Speaker
Usually only if it's, it could, but usually only like whole milk or 2% milk I think is actually like healthy milk because they don't like, they don't process it. I mean, whole milk is the best because it's not processed at all. It's straight. Yeah, but you know, it's whole. It's full fat
Water Intake and Personal Habits
00:36:52
Speaker
milk. Yeah, a lot of fat milk. You turn to that fat kid from a really long kind of factory. Yeah.
00:37:01
Speaker
Two percent. I just gloop. Yes glue Because this gloop big fat needy nincompoop. Yeah Which which versions better the well, I've only really okay I've seen the original but I've watched the remake more it up. What is not bad Johnny Depp is pretty good It's kind of creepy that Tim Turner. We just knows how to get you. Can we can we do a little detail off that? I
00:37:34
Speaker
Can we talk about the Johnny Duck case? Ooh. I don't think there's actually much to talk about. Yeah. I don't really know what the argument is there. Well, that and like, I don't think there's much more now to really talk. I feel like it's kind of like, it's kind of like brushed over now. Halfway. Halfway? Hey, you're like following, aren't you? All right. Yeah. Clearly, Amber, that's correct, right? Yeah. We obviously know that. Yeah. Shit on people's banks. What's wrong with that? You don't do that?
00:38:02
Speaker
How do you recover from that? Honestly, it's so weird. So we have proof that you shit on... The bed. You literally shit the bed. But I find it funny that she's the one still with a career and a job after... No, dude, he's getting a lot. He's got a lot of like... Well, yeah, but I mean, how much can you really come back from, especially in Hollywood, where they're so... they only take one side and once they're on that side, they don't back down?
00:38:30
Speaker
i mean like they did will not admit that they're wrong like disney disney dropped in for what was it doesn't know about it is a drop to men were brother and one of the struggles of the harry potter but you've been ever heard for the new alchemy because she was like ten minutes oh yeah i know you know because no none of the fans wonder yeah yes they have rejected her now yeah so which means we'll probably have a little bit of a switchback and obviously
00:38:57
Speaker
Johnny Depp's careers are pretty damaged, but he might be able to make sense. Yeah, but he's also kind of already on his tail end of his career.
00:39:08
Speaker
He's at that age where he would probably rather produce or direct instead of doing the whole acting spiel. Because it doesn't seem like he's had very good luck when it comes to acting. Yeah. I also like... So I don't blame him for not wanting to go back and forth. He got dropped from parts of the Caribbean, but also I don't think he was going to do another one. No. Because even on the last one, he didn't really... Well, he was until Disney showed him how little they cared about him.
00:39:33
Speaker
So now, if they were to come back and crawling back to him to save the... Yeah, he says he will say no, because they ruined him. He really didn't even care about the last movie. He was having his lines fed to him through an earpiece. He was constantly drunk on set. He did not care. That's called method acting. Yeah, that is method acting.
00:40:00
Speaker
Yeah, honestly, have you guys seen it? Like the one that came up five years ago. That's really all you need to be honest. Those are the only ones that exist. The fourth one is just weird because they have like a new new two new characters.
00:40:19
Speaker
no no they're just as a standalone movie it's all right but it doesn't do justice to the franchise yeah no the first three were incredible honestly i got a jar of dirt i got a jar of dirt oh i cannot understand what he said yeah but you have heard of me yeah and then the fifth one just was just like
00:40:42
Speaker
awful yeah it is the cash that was it was as good as the fourth one no even though i really wanted to be because it used all the use the original story was the fourth one didn't with the original story the original trilogy like lineup because the fourth one had nothing to do with the whole well david jones is dead now what's happening right what's going on with will turner and where the fifth one is kinda connected to all that original because but they're not because it's his son right it's yeah it's his son it's
00:41:10
Speaker
Davey Jones' son or something? No, it's Will's son. It's connected by that. And then there's like a trident that's magical or something. There is a magic trident. This dog is literally eating her own food.
00:41:25
Speaker
All right, all right, you don't have to make it like that. Sorry. Yeah, not much to talk about on that topic. Johnny Depp is great, and I feel sorry
Johnny Depp's Trial and Hollywood Biases
00:41:32
Speaker
for him. Honestly, yeah. Everything bad that's happened to him. Yeah. Yeah. And all the people were like, justice for Johnny Depp. Like, yeah, that's true. But also, like, there's nothing really much that I think, oh, honestly, it's fine. Well, I think that's the money he'll be. The money, for sure. But also, like, I don't think he wants to retire. I don't think he needs much money. I think he needs much more money. However, he could win the settlement. It's more money. And get more money.
00:41:55
Speaker
than Amber Heard's net worth. I mean, it is straight up a defamation lawsuit, so it's not about the money. It's the fact that she ruined his reputation. Yeah, he ruined his reputation, but he's going to retire with people knowing that he... That he didn't poop the bed? Yeah, I think it's more about reputation than money. I think he'll be fine either way.
00:42:16
Speaker
Pooped on Johnny Depp's bed, and went, Ellomael, this is funny, and what? How do you live with a, because she did that. Well, she blamed it on the dogs. She did. The miniature teacup. Yeah, she blamed it on the dogs, yeah. But like, mentally, she's like, okay, you, you, shit on someone's bed, and then you just go about your day doing your stuff. Well, she was most likely under the influence of something that made her do that. Oh, yeah, she was under the jar of cooking. And I love how she, like, tries to pretend that she doesn't do drugs. Like,
00:42:43
Speaker
Even though she's a Hollywood, you know, career. Well, yeah, but she also has like said that she has done drugs and... People think that she literally did a line in court. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was like that. Which I'm not sure if that's true. I think that's just her being a really bad actress and trying to pretend that she's sad. She's just used to doing so many bumps. That's the only motion she knows. Yeah, honestly.
00:43:10
Speaker
She just keeps putting her cloth up to her nose. Which like, how would that even work without the residual... This is a white stuff all over her nose. She's a professional. She's an actress. She knows how to work drugs. Honestly, at this point I think...
00:43:30
Speaker
Like if you're looking at how she was like acting in the court. It's just so weird You saw the thing where it was like my dog got stung by a bee and then she just immediately started to cry. Yeah Like she's really wants to win like this simply points for this She'll do something and then she'll look around the entire courtroom She wants everyone to react to her. Yeah
00:43:56
Speaker
Yeah, nothing really much we can say about that. He's pretty cool. If he does act more, I feel like he should just do more voice acting. Like Rango. He's pretty good at that. He doesn't have to do anything crazy. He has a pretty good voice.
Favorite Seasons and Climate Impact
00:44:14
Speaker
I think more than that, he's just really good at putting a lot of emphasis into what he's saying. And that's kind of why Rango is really cool.
00:44:22
Speaker
I don't know if you guys saw, you guys probably- He is a good orger, he knows how to speak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's very good at collecting his words. He's a deputy to that. Johnny Dubb, if you're listening, do more uh- Yeah, yeah, yeah, Johnny Dubb's listening to this podcast. You guys are good with- I hope we inspired you. Yeah.
00:44:39
Speaker
Maybe some day. Yeah. All right. OK. Next question. What's your favorite season of the year as we are moving into a new season? Well, from a biased source where we live in constant 120 degree weather. Winter. Yeah, winter's up there. Where it's like 80 to 70 degrees. Yeah, nice 60 to 80 degree weather. I would say fall's pretty nice.
00:45:08
Speaker
fall and spring are pretty nice no spring not too much i like fall a lot allergies yeah spring spring here kind of screws you over because it's like it's very polly here because that's all that grows it's just all allergy yeah oops all allergies yeah because none of us get allergies here
00:45:25
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. As someone who plays an outdoor sport, I really like to have nice weather. I don't even know why. It's been so windy lately. You cannot play tennis when it's so windy. The ball just does not want to. It doesn't work with that. Right. And if it's really cold too, out of my fingers. I kinda like it when it's cold. Can you not wear gloves?
00:45:46
Speaker
I mean the big thing about tennis is like you gotta like feel the racket and gloves just dampen a lot of that feel. Like you gotta know what a good shot is like so you can react faster and wearing a glove just does not. Soccer is probably the best to play the cold. I can see that. I think it's best to play the cold. Not like freezing temperatures but like nice and chilly out. Yeah like between like November December is a pretty good time. It's so nice. It's really nice to play any sport, outdoor sports pretty nice.
00:46:13
Speaker
and also just more for me I just feel like the way I dress works better in the winter oh yeah for sure yeah I love pants and hoodies so so good yeah cozy which is like Christmas time hot chocolate yeah it's divine it's pretty nice yeah I just wish that we had a
00:46:38
Speaker
I'm glad we don't have snow. I'm actually very happy we don't have snow. That kind of question is very much based on what part of the world you live on.
00:46:50
Speaker
So yeah, so I think a good answer for most people who like to just stay temperate is any season where the average temperature stays between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit Yeah, for all you Middle Easterners out there listening to this we refer to temperature in Fahrenheit because we like our temperature to refer to how the human body feels and not how water feels Yeah
00:47:20
Speaker
I would say winter just because I like it cold but also here it isn't cold cold it's just nice feeling and it doesn't feel awful to go outside yeah unless it's like 5 in the morning sometimes it is really cold like
00:47:49
Speaker
You can always layer up, you can't always layer down. You can just go naked. Yep. I'm sure that would be an awesome addition to this community. If you're a farmer, you probably hate winter though. Because you probably can't grow much. So summer's made for you. And summer's made for plants. Yeah, spring kind of. But that's just when you can start. And then summer's when things actually grow. Yeah.
00:48:18
Speaker
So that's like the natural cycle of the earth is like that's when that's when actual plants of vegetation grows this summer. Yeah, yeah, yeah That is a very good point. Yeah Which is why I would understand if people prefer summer Because that's when everything but you're wrong. That's when everything is happening and can live. Yeah, but you're wrong like some is also cool weather and like yeah, I
00:48:47
Speaker
and melons melons melons yes well some melons because there's a melon for every season watermelon season as we move into summer um next question
Trying New Experiences
00:49:01
Speaker
How are you guys within trying out new things like food clothes people trying out people I love trying out new people It is awarded wrong definitely new food I like trying out new food. I'll make food that I've never even eaten before done that I
00:49:21
Speaker
Yeah, I would agree with that. Like, if there's an option to have, like, say, a type of meat I've never eaten before, or a meat done in a different way that I haven't had before, then I'll usually go for that. Or, like, a different flavor of, like, a thing. I'm kind of the guy where it's like, oh, I have to try every single flavor, so I know which one I like. I'm not just going to stick to cherry every single time. Cherry flavored meat? Yeah, that's a good one. No, flavor isn't... I changed...
00:49:50
Speaker
ideology to flavor drinks and stuff I just don't know what kind of meat I like so I don't just stick to cherry
00:50:06
Speaker
The meat of a cherry tree is a delicacy in some countries. For me, it's setting. So if I'm with a group of people, I'm more likely to try more stuff. If I'm by myself, I will stick to what I know. Yes. It's survival instincts. Yeah. So you can always mooch off of your friend if you get something that you don't like. You can just deal with it. Hey, can I have a little bit? Hey, you want to trade? Oh, God. I hate those people, man.
00:50:32
Speaker
That was me at lunch in high school. Me at lunch in high school, I finished what I brought and I just walk around every table going, you're going to finish that. That's what we, if we ever did that. No, we literally just used to walk around together. We were the bold finisher. You would give me your granola bar sometimes.
00:50:54
Speaker
Because I heard you were on a very strict and unappetizing sounding diet, so I was just like, oh, he needs something. It was just like, there was nothing in my house. Oh, you were on that kind of diet. I was on the starvation side. I don't know, I feel like trying something new is...
00:51:16
Speaker
cool but you still only get something done. Only when it comes to food though. I feel like that's when it's usually more appealing. Anything else usually sticking to the comfort zone is probably what most people are going to do.
00:51:32
Speaker
Unless you're like super adventurous, but I mean, I mean like different countries Even then I would not go to like whole new countries. You wouldn't go to a whole new country Go to Germany Germany. Yeah, I don't think I would go like Zimbabwe Swaziland you already know what's there? Yeah
00:51:55
Speaker
Like I don't know I was talking to someone the other day and they're like they're going like Buenos Aires. I'm like Oh Argentina Yeah, but like they're not staying in Buenos Aires. They're taking a flight to Buenos Aires and they're gonna drive to like some rural part of Argentina. I'm like I mean, it's pretty cool and all but like I would like to not become a drug you know, I mean, right Like I don't want five pounds of coke up my ass when I come back. That's more Columbia. That's a fair point I mean, yeah, I mean but like thinks the profit
00:52:25
Speaker
I don't think you would get anything out of that. Lifetime in prison? Yeah. I don't think that it's not much of a win-win. They pay for my food. They pay for my housing. Very kind people. Yeah, very gentle when they're in certain. Beatings only happen like two to three times a day. Yeah, it's very nice ambience. A lot more people there to chat with and talk to.
00:52:50
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's probably one of the countries with the most history and culture to it, so yeah, I would understand. The food is really good. To what? I do want to say that. Yeah, Italy. I went to Italy once. I went to Italy once. It was like a layover, but the main thing is the food. They take a lot of pride in their food.
00:53:13
Speaker
yeah and the scenery scene is incredible honestly yeah i just i like the old style architecture and though all the brick are you a gothic kind of guy i'm a gothic yeah yeah yeah gothic architecture for the wind i like gothic yeah get rid of squire this and return to gothic architecture no more rectangle buildings yeah um if it doesn't have three wings on the sides of it it's not a lot like a giant steeple
00:53:40
Speaker
make gargoyles back in style actually honestly yeah i want gargoyles back justice for gargoyles yeah city planning was so much better too do you know that the grid is actually the most uh like heat retentive uh city style you can have so it keeps the most heat because of just the the fact that it's just channels yeah and don't they have been like i don't really barcelona has that like yeah like barcelona has it they have a combination it's like
00:54:05
Speaker
Yeah, there's like a bunch of like so there's like this one district where they but it's beautiful. It's beautiful
00:54:11
Speaker
Phoenix is the number nine biggest grid city on the planet. You look at a map, it's just like a bunch of squares. Yeah, but you go to places like Rome where literally just like you have the big... All the roads there, they all lead to somewhere. Also like back then, it's like war mentality. Like if it gets attacked, like it should be like harder to get into the center of the city. The center is like where all the pavilions are. Well, no one really sieges cities anymore. Not anymore, but like it's an old city. It's built from like
00:54:40
Speaker
like a thousand years ago, like back when the, like see this gets out of tact, I mean. Yeah, back when it was a regular thing. Yeah, back then cities could also be built for beauty and they had a lot more limitations, whereas now they're built for mass amounts of people and accessibility and the fact that they can just like level the ground. Like you have to build, you have to build up onto a hillside or stuff like that in,
00:55:09
Speaker
ancient times because they didn't have the infrastructure to. Yeah, because people more recently, more recently I'm saying like the last few hundred years, they've decided to just condense themselves into these small areas, which are called cities, but in the more modernized version of cities, which creates the reason for having to make compact grids, as opposed to where, you know, Midwest of America
00:55:38
Speaker
or just central America of America. It's very open and you don't see that style really much in that area because you don't want no one's there. But everyone wants to just
00:55:50
Speaker
There's a safe convenience to being close to everything. I guess, yeah. That's the reasoning. City culture is very interesting.
City vs Suburban Living
00:56:00
Speaker
I mean, like, I don't know. If you ever go to, like, I mean, like, especially, like, where we live here without saying a name or getting docs, but, like, where we live here, pretty small town. And then going up, like, average suburban. Going to town, like, going to downtown Phoenix and everything. It's just so...
00:56:19
Speaker
It's just weird. You're not used to it. And then spending a lot of time there, like your brain just kind of gets used to like seeing a lot of people, a lot like a bunch of apartments and like buildings, like there's like a store on top of it, like a house on top of another store. It's kind of cool sometimes. I kind of like the downtown vibe.
00:56:39
Speaker
like walking downtown at night. It was really nice. But going from a place that isn't like that is probably weird because you're used to owning your space. And when that space starts to become taken up by a mass amount of people, that's probably why it's very unsettling for you a lot. What was the question again? Trying out new things.
00:57:06
Speaker
Um, that's pretty good. We stay pretty on topic. Yeah. For putting out new cities. Yeah. Food and stuff, I think. I think food we were pretty excited. Like, there's some days where I'm willing to try something new, like a new cuisine or a new restaurant, but mostly a new restaurant. But like, if I'm in a rush, I just want to get something done. Just stick to it, you know. And.
00:57:30
Speaker
Yeah, experimentation requires time. What kind of area would you like to live in? Like a city, suburban, or like a borough? Oh, that's a tough one. Not definitely not rural. I don't want to live in rural areas.
00:57:44
Speaker
Suburban is kind of like what I'm used to that's like more like quiet quaint towns, but I feel like the proximity to a City is better so that in case you do want to go to a place like you don't live there But if you want to go to a place that's like that then having more like just a suburban area near a big city
00:58:03
Speaker
Yeah, I would keep that. Weird. I wonder where you got that idea from. I know, right? Crazy. It's not like we're living like that right now. I mean, for us, it's like a 45-way drive to get to a proper city area.
00:58:18
Speaker
Even I do want to say that like for me it's about a 10 like I was I was driving for like Scott's feel like deeper Scott's like I haven't been there like a Few months now and there's so much more like buildings being built like apartments and like it's just turning into like more on the way to Mesa Yeah, yeah, they usually just do that regardless. They do. Yeah, just like old more Yeah, honestly, it was like
00:58:39
Speaker
There's a lot of stuff being built there. They're just confiding all of the cities and making one giant mega city. Basically, yeah. Yeah, well they need to because there's a lot of influx of people. Yeah. Flowing into the, I mean it's a neighboring, it's a neighboring state to one of the largest cities in the whole country, LA. And it's... And people are wanting to flee there for some reason. People don't want to live, yeah. People are just like, it's so much, so many of the California people are moving to. And we made bad choices here. Let's live and do that, out of square.
00:59:06
Speaker
I'm like, no, come on, let us live. It's also a water problem in Arizona, so that way it's easier to disperse water throughout one big grid versus multiple smaller grids. We have a water problem? Yeah.
Environmental Concerns and Urban Planning
00:59:18
Speaker
I thought we didn't have a water problem to the point where we were giving our water supply to California because they were in a drought. Well, they are. But we are increasingly becoming into a water problem. Yeah. Because we lost a large portion of our water to Colorado with some deal. There's like this one lake we use for water purposes. It's like at a third of its normal capacity. Also, the Colorado River.
00:59:48
Speaker
Yeah, because it's like global warming and all that shit. I thought that makes water levels rise.
00:59:55
Speaker
Uh, no, because like it's so hot. Like you're luth, it's a river. It's not an ocean. Yeah, well. Oceans are gonna rise. From the peaks. Yeah, but rivers sometimes lead to oceans. Yeah. Yeah, but you have to be in the part where it hits the ocean to really see anything. Yeah, the carver does not meet an ocean. It kind of does. It's like the worst thing. It used to like many years ago. Yeah, but not anymore. Now it's just depleting. It just trickles out like a quarter into Arizona. Yeah. The dry bits get drier.
01:00:24
Speaker
And the cold bits get higher. Wetter. See what I did there? We're deep, guys. Yeah, we're deep. We know what we're talking about. I think people should just disperse and not just saturate the small resources in the tiny areas. We should be like Ronaldo and buy private islands.
01:00:47
Speaker
Thank you. Yeah, let's just buy farmland on an island and then just live there and we shouldn't be sure you do that What self-sustaining lifestyle is actually probably what? You should look for this. Yeah, which is why I was super into tiny houses for a while because like the idea of
01:01:06
Speaker
a very small footprint using solar panels effectively so you wouldn't need electricity having a little bit of farmland and like a garden like that sustainability but it kind of feels a little bit like a pipe dream yeah i mean that that's where we came from as humans that's kind of exactly what
01:01:31
Speaker
we did back then before we returned to urban areas have even existed yeah return to farmland to reject reject uh reject amazon return to crab return to yes becomes 12 month mail some days we are those are the days we are crab then it's just going to turn into death stranding and we're gonna have
Electric Cars and Sustainable Living
01:02:01
Speaker
Yeah, and also if you have an electric car that would be like perfect with your car with your
01:02:10
Speaker
and see you wouldn't have to get gasoline and not you just have to pray the battery doesn't die on you yeah i mean nowadays there it's better you don't really i mean the batteries are pretty great right now pretty and they last a lot longer i think elon must just published a uh a study because people were like oh he they're like freaking out about it yeah yeah and it it was something like uh
01:02:34
Speaker
their current electric batteries are like three times more like longer lasting than because they're switching from is that from bricks to cells cells hold oh yeah you have cells you compact like a thousand the battery yeah you come back a thousand cells into a brick and you got like 20 bricks so you got like you got like way more
01:02:55
Speaker
What is the, like, what are they? Are they, like, lithium-ion, are they? No, it's not lithium-ion. Lithium-ion's way too inconsistent. That's why foam batteries go by so quickly. And they also, they also drain really quickly. They used to be lithium-ion, so the Volt was lithium-ion. Right. Yeah. Which is why my Volt, like, after four years went... Any hybrid car usually runs off of the lithium. Yeah. But also, they changed their battery format. Tesla's is not... Tesla and a lot of other companies are switching from lithium because it's not inconsistent. Yeah, I figured it was, like,
01:03:23
Speaker
They actually don't knock off my head, but it's something that's way more efficient. The main thing for electric batteries now is it has to be efficient, it has to charge in less time, and it has to keep that charge for way longer. Range charge time and keeping the car lasting longer without maintenance. Tesla is way better at that purely because
01:03:45
Speaker
I just think from an engineering standpoint, they were the first to start. So they learned the mistakes way before all these companies have. So they're like 10 years ahead and their infrastructure is way better too. You can go like a supercharger. There's like a supercharger every 20 miles. So you can take like a drive from here to like California and stop at like 12 different places. You don't have to worry about it. As long as it's not 100 degrees outside. You have to face 100 degrees outside and just sit in your car.
01:04:12
Speaker
Well, no, no, no. I'm talking about while you're driving. If you're driving while it's 100 degrees outside, that battery level... Not that much. With a new one, you don't have to worry about that.
01:04:22
Speaker
Well, I've only had experience with the ones that aren't the new one. Yeah, the new one. Yeah, the old one sold on the old one, though. I've driven one Tesla. And it was the 2014 or 2016 model. Is it the Roadster? I don't know if it was. I think it was the last one. Well, it has been for the Model S. S6 years, actually. The new Model S, the new Model
01:04:49
Speaker
Why? I think once I have the new batteries on it. That's why the new Model S can go from like zero to 16, like one second. It's crazy. Well, I mean, yeah, when you tend to have pure electricity, you can go pretty fast.
Fast and Furious Franchise Critique
01:05:07
Speaker
I think the biggest funny issue with electric cars is the future of action movie car chases.
01:05:17
Speaker
Because you don't get the... It's just... It's super silent. Yeah, if I did Fast and Furious 20, if it's electric cars, like... No, there's no action music, it's just...
01:05:31
Speaker
Oh, you don't want to wash it. I washed f9. I mean I've never I haven't seen it. I washed f9. Yeah, that's my favorite. It's free. They want the space Every moment all the jokes, but they went to space that's crazy. Yeah, they've done it all on planet Earth
01:05:48
Speaker
What did they do in space? That's in Furious 10 on Mars. They were on like a plane. So like, I don't know exactly like what they were saying. Road trip around the moon. They like taped their car to like a top of like a superjet. And they were like, okay, it's gonna go to like, it's gonna start like going. And suddenly it just turns up and they go into space.
01:06:09
Speaker
Oh yeah, the directing and the writing is just stellar. I miss the days when it's just street racing. Like Fastverse 1 and 2 was... In a car movie, I usually... Come on, that's a little... You're asking for a little bit. Street racing, but like changing gears makes you go faster. I miss those days. That was so funny. You're like, he's going like... I'm already in sixth gear, but if I go up to the imaginary seventh gear... It's my headcanon that they actually just have like 12 gears.
01:06:46
Speaker
Every car is retrofitted with the nitrous. Yeah. Yeah. No for real
01:06:54
Speaker
How'd we go from that to this one? What was the one where they drove a car from one building to another? That might have been six. I think that was six. I think that's probably the most realistic stunt in the entire ones. Because the buildings were like so close together. It was the same one where the rock was in a cast and he just broke the cast. Yeah. Oh, remember when- That was so unnecessary too. It was just like, he was just hurt the entire time. He was like, oh, buff. He breaks the cast. No, there's the one where the rock kicks a torpedo. It's like a torpedo and he just like kicks it and then they just fly up.
01:07:30
Speaker
Look that up, look that up. Pull it up, pull it up. Where's your credit, where's your credit? It's either F7 or F8 and there's like a submarine, like an old sub, like a Russian submarine. The rock kicks a torpedo and it diverts its trajectory to prevent. Oh yeah, I'm not describing it. It's like a frozen area and it's like a Russian submarine. It shoots a torpedo. So he's under water? No, they're on the ice and the torpedo's like skidding on the ice and he kicks the torpedo and it blows up like a tank or something.
01:08:00
Speaker
Yeah, this one, yes! Yes, dude! Alright, okay, chill, chill. I use the... Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, dude. That was his... I like the ludicrous, dude. How are they driving on the ice? Family, they got the powder on the ice.
01:08:33
Speaker
Where's the chain? Even then, you can't drive 80 miles an hour. Well, I mean, that's realistic. If they weren't trying. Yeah, our charger just... Yeah, dude, looters. Yeah, it's because our charger can hit a army tank and not sustain any damage whatsoever. Also, without so tired. Drives through flames. They even just bounce off it. Did you see that's dope? Have you guys ever seen depth proof?
01:09:09
Speaker
death group. I heard that before. It's a, what's his name? Tarantino movie. I'm just waiting for him to say that. It's about a guy that has a... There it is! Let's go! Is it coming out of the water? It's like a Russian submarine. Are torpedoes like water missiles? That's the whole point, right? There we go. So it would be under the water.
01:09:36
Speaker
and keep my netropials going like pretty fast pretty fast yeah there that's it you're kidding there he is there he is are you kidding me
01:10:05
Speaker
It went under the car! It didn't even touch the wheels! Homey goes, homey goes, as y'all turn the car. The rose, the rose, the torpedo. Yeah, yeah. Let's go see. Frame by frame. Frame by frame. The rose, the torpedo faster than the torpedoes already going. You don't have to redirect it.
01:10:32
Speaker
It's already blowing up. It's already blowing up. The torpedo gets there. Wait a second. What is it, comma? Yeah, it's like comma and period to go frame by frame. Wait a second. It starts blowing up as the torpedo. Who did this in post? Yeah, someone's like, who let this go in post? All you had to do was go,
01:11:01
Speaker
Boom. I love the Torpy. Yeah, why did the rock just dropkick the Torpy? It just disappears! Look at it! It's gone.
Music Album Ratings
01:11:13
Speaker
So what would you say the album was out of 10? Well I gave the first album, it's a double album. The first album I gave like a 7.5, the second one I gave like maybe a 6.5 or a 7. So like averaging out of the thing would be a 7. 6.5 ish.
01:11:32
Speaker
Uh, I'm so undecided. To put in perspective, I gave DAMN like an 8.5 or anything. DAMN is so good. That's different butterflies, like maybe an 8. Darn, it was pretty good, yeah. Darn. Yeah, sorry, Darn. That's the kids about version of it. Darn.
01:11:48
Speaker
Something tells me Kidz Bop won't be reaching for Jack Harlow's music. No, that was Kendrick, that was Kendrick. Oh Kendrick, I'm sorry. Yeah, Dammit. Misremembered. They're all the same. I feel like if Connor listened to any rapper it would be Kendrick. Probably. Probably like Kendrick.
01:12:03
Speaker
I think it would be like the only ones you would like. I was telling him. Hymn or J. Cole. Hymn or J. Cole. J. Cole maybe. J. Cole's way too rapper, like underground rapper.
Music Preferences and Influential Artists
01:12:13
Speaker
I feel like I was saying Connor, the instrumentals in this album were like really good. Like there's a lot of drums and like guitar and like it was just like whoa.
01:12:22
Speaker
I mean, I've listened to Kanye. I think he's pretty good. He's a pretty good music. Kanye is overall. And I like Post Malone as well. He's also really good with what he does. He's actually musically talented, which helps. Yeah, that's true.
01:12:35
Speaker
Crazy how that works. Connie's definitely got a talent too. So does Cardi B. Cardi B is so talented. Nicki Minaj. She has a voice. She uses the language to say things. Is that important or not? I've definitely started looking more into music that's kind of like
01:13:01
Speaker
more fatty if it like it's got it's got more to it you know like instrumentals good lyrics good message actually kind of what i actual talent honestly to be honest with you kendrick lamar is the first rapper that changed like the way that i like to listen like when i was younger i just like listened to it because it sounded good i just didn't really listen to like the words he sang but like i watched black panther you know the song at the end all the stars bro dude
01:13:27
Speaker
I listen to that, I'm like, this is a good song, I listen to it, I listen to the entire album, Black Widow is probably, it's in my list of albums that I can listen to it the entire thing, Black Widow is up there. I think like the big couple I'm listening to right now would be Jack obviously, he can kind of get there, but like, not really, he's still more mainstream, but like, J Cole, Kendrick, Kanye, Tyler the Creator, people like that. I would, yeah, Kanye and Tyler the Creator have definitely became
01:13:54
Speaker
Tyler Crater, I would say his new album is okay for me, but Igor was so good. Yeah, I don't know. Again, production and lyrics and everything are really good. I don't really listen to Juice WRLD. Not anymore. It's way too depressing. It's kind of hard to listen to his music. Well, we're not teenagers anymore. It's way too depressing. Especially when he doesn't really have any new music. That is a big part of it, yeah.
01:14:23
Speaker
It would be the same though. Let's be real here. The only reason I don't listen to a lot of this stuff now is that the production company is just trying to milk him. I do listen to some of this stuff that I just always loved. I can't even remember anymore. It was my favorite song for like three years.
01:14:44
Speaker
I mean, I look like Lucid Dreams here and there. All of his music did sound the same to me, like armed robbery or whatever. Armed and dangerous. Armed and dangerous. And robbery. It sounded very similar to me if you could tell. Oh yeah, it sounded a little robbery, I forgot about that. That's one of the most popular ones.
01:15:06
Speaker
and nobody can turn music along that not juice world but like what you guys were talking about earlier music along that style that i think i enjoy i don't know if you've heard uh
Track Discussion: 'Take What You Want'
01:15:21
Speaker
Take What You Want by Post Malone and Ozzy Osbourne. With Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, that's really good. That entire album's really good. Yeah, I haven't heard the whole album, but just the one song. Is Ozzy Osbourne in the rest of that album? Yeah, he's in another song. Connor was initially drawn by Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah, I mean, I see Post Malone and Ozzy Osbourne. I'm like, what kind of song did these guys come up with together? And it was really good. Ozzy's voice is just like...
01:15:46
Speaker
Yeah, that was my reaction when Justin Timberlake was on Jack's album. Ozzy sings amazingly in that song. Yeah, he does. And I don't know who does the guitar in that. I'm pretty sure. Probably Post. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Post. Post has a good voice, but I haven't really heard much from him recently.
01:16:07
Speaker
The guitar solo from Take What You Want. Take What You Want, and Hollywood's playing pretty good too. If you want some more of this plain Post Malone. Yeah. And the beat's really good. But yeah, Post Malone's... Yeah, he's pretty good. I like his older stuff. I don't know, his newer stuff never really caught my eye. Everything he released before Sunflower. After that. After Sunflower, I just was like, no, I'm good.
01:16:33
Speaker
Even Kanye, like, I don't know. He's just classic. You can always go back to Kanye. There's not, there's very few bad Kanye. Some of his songs are kind of drawn out on his older albums. Oh, for sure. They're like six minutes long and like, like the one was the one that has Rick Ross on it.
01:16:49
Speaker
Yeah, there's like a minute and a half interlude of the beat. The original runaway from My Beautiful Darkness Fantasy is like 12 minutes long because this is an entire piano solo in the first part. I'm like, bro. Piano solos are pretty cool. Piano solos are nice, but it's the same tune.
01:17:07
Speaker
Have you not heard the beginning of Frontway? It's the same key. Wait, Runaway? Runaway from My Beautiful. When he plays it at a concert, he plays one key. Everyone knows what the song is going to be. I've heard Runaway by Bon Jovi. That song's a good song. I mean, yeah, that's sick.
01:17:24
Speaker
Yeah. Probably better than Kanye's run away. I mean, runaways... This is a clash of tastes right here. You cannot compare them. I'm the same. Kanye's the newest. Okay, you know what? I was reading... I don't know who I was reading. I think it was...
01:17:44
Speaker
I'm not going to pay $200 for a stunt player to listen to an incomplete album.
Kanye West's Albums and Listener Engagement
01:17:48
Speaker
No, that's a true issue. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying with Kendrick's new album, someone was saying that Life of Pablo is really similar to this one because it was super divisive. I guess some people who really like Life of Pablo I think was better.
01:18:01
Speaker
Yeah, no, no, for sure it is, but like I'm just saying, like, Life of Pablo initially, when it first came out, was hated. People hated Life of Pablo. It was so divisive. People did not like it. How? It was 2015, dude. People just did not like it. I mean, 2015-2016 was like a golden haven for some music, though. Yeah. So, I'm saying that this album that Kendra came out with is going to be in love with people for a really long time, and it's probably not going to be liked by people who are... I guess there's people who don't like to live in a part of life, because it's just so...
01:18:28
Speaker
like one-sided like good kid mad city and dam both have like two thoughts and this album is also kind of like the pamper water flies so people who didn't like that probably aren't gonna like this one
01:18:42
Speaker
Which one? Nevermind. Alright, continue. Yeah, there's some people who are comparing this one to Life of Pablo and they're like, just give it some more time and this album's probably gonna be really good. Because it just needs discovery. Like, people just need to stop listening to the songs that have like, the most listens and like the star next to it on Apple News for Spotify. They need to listen to like, every song on this album. And like, Crown. Like, no one listens to Crown. Crown's a really good song on the album. I like to pimp a butterfly. It's got these walls all right and I in it. All right.
01:19:12
Speaker
these walls is so good these walls is good it's the one where it's just like moaning for like the first 30 seconds and then you're just even you is really good but you super depressing it gets like lucky and he's like it's so sad by the end of it yeah
01:19:29
Speaker
Yeah, I think final ratings are 6.5 to 7. I would give it a 7. I refuse to give a 6.5. I can't. There's just a lot of good stuff. I'll give it a 7. You're a 6.5? Yeah. You're giving Come Home to Kids Miss you a 6.5. Yeah. This little piece of shh. Oh, man. Dude, I cannot. I refuse. Little secret, side piece. Little secret. No. I like little secret.
01:20:00
Speaker
You didn't like it? No! Dude, there's nothing good on the album. I don't understand that. Even Poison like, it's just annoying. Poison is good, except for when Little Wayne comes off. That's a big part of it. You can't cut him out. It's Little Wayne. Oh my god. We told you about this, you know Little Wayne? Yeah, he's the ratchety, high-pitched voice guy. Yeah. Who's that old love song? Yeah.

Is there such a thing? Really? Does anyone know of something of that sort? There is technology out there similar to music where you can listen to it, I think. Really? And it's like you're being told the words. But the words come from books. Oh, so it's almost like you're being read the book. But it's from someone else. It's really genius.
