Remote Recording Adventure
00:00:01
Speaker
Slutton in 2026. Wow dude. This is a remote. This our first remote. Yeah, we got music in the background in a bar. What's the name of this place?
00:00:13
Speaker
It's the View House. Oh, the View House in Littleton, Colorado. I've never been here my entire life downtown Littleton. That's because you're sorry. It's got Midwest characters. Yep. How many TVs we got?
00:00:25
Speaker
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, oh there's a bunch up there. At least 11. But not like obnoxious, not sports bar obnoxious. No. about place Well done, I give Colorado no credit for having any character at all in Denver.
00:00:41
Speaker
Downtown Littleton's a nice little place. It is nice man. We be living.
Evolution of Littleton and Denver
00:00:46
Speaker
I feel like when I first moved here it had like an old west character to it a little bit Denver. That's kind of gone.
00:00:53
Speaker
A little more like cowboy. Yeah. It's because it's so liberal the cowboys have been chased out. Are you taking that as a W, bro?
00:01:05
Speaker
It's definitely W, but will this be here when China declares war on the US? Will any of this exist anymore, buddy? i have a feeling that your new year was met with with ah somewhere between that sort of satisfaction knowing you were right about the current regime and then a little fear that the But, well, Happy New Year, buddy.
00:01:26
Speaker
It's nice to see It's the first time I've ever face-to-face recording, right? It's kind of weird. It's like part show, part... Can't we just talk and hang, bro? Now it seems more real.
00:01:38
Speaker
So, like, on all online, it just seems like a conversation. It just seems, like, very professional. Yeah, it seems like work. I gotta look at this mom. Fucky! So,
Lance's Lifestyle and Wealth
00:01:47
Speaker
on the way over... i walk By the way, Lance gives me all the shit about...
00:01:52
Speaker
Being grown up rich, he lives in this beautiful house on a park overlooking the Rocky Mountains with a brand new custom custom kitchen, probably like a $300,000 kitchen.
00:02:03
Speaker
don't know about that, but almost a full-size basketball court in front. Just kidding. That's a lie. It's a driveway set up, but very nice. Anyways, nice house. I've never been there.
00:02:15
Speaker
Dude, I don't think I've ever met your daughter, and I've never been to your house. Ridigulous. But I checked both those boxes this trip. Did she listen? She has, but no, not nobody would listen regularly. I just want to say thank you for the shirt, but if she doesn't listen, she'll never get that message. Yeah, she made some shirts for us with the show photo on them.
00:02:39
Speaker
If we wanted to get some merch going, could could she recreate that magic? Sure. It's like it's somewhere at a French hour. Yeah, man. I'll have the Southwest chicken salad. Cool, cool.
00:02:51
Speaker
I'm going to have the nuts and berries salad. Do you want any chicken sandwich, shrimp, or steak to that? No, it sounds good, but i don't think so. I think you get to edit that out, dude. Can't be ordering nuts and berry salad on there.
00:03:05
Speaker
It's because I just ate a little lot of goat, listener.
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah, so no, I don't know, man. Anyways, it's good for you to meet everybody, come to couple games. But 2026, dude,
Future Plans and Family Changes
00:03:22
Speaker
we'll see if this podcast lasts. It's going to last, bro. Dude, 26 is a pretty big year for, well, I'd say for both of us, but for for you.
00:03:31
Speaker
It's a big year. like Your kids graduating. Your second kid, last one that you keep in touch with anyways, is graduating high school, right? Yeah. I even talked i talked to Lance's wife and she was even mentioning to me a little bit about getting out, maybe coming to Costa Rica. So the seed has been planted of you guys like thinking about the next phase.
00:03:55
Speaker
By the way, I love she asked you probably 40 questions. Yeah, but she had all the answers. Like, she knew about Gracia and these places that no one no one gives a fuck about. No, but about your life.
00:04:07
Speaker
Oh, yeah. She put me on the couch. And you were just like evading, dodging. No, no way. Bullshit, dude. Sort of surface surface level. Yeah, I don't know. i don't know what she's doing. We'll figure it out. What I think people think is evading is just i'm being unprepared.
00:04:25
Speaker
Like other questions. So for example, Lance's wife was asking me like, what's what's the relationship? I think maybe, I don't remember exactly, but sort of a relationship and where I'm at with my wife.
00:04:37
Speaker
And my answer is kind of like, i don't know. Or even you were asking me, you're going to be like, financially evolved forever and my answer is like I'm not sure how to figure it out but that's that's reality. It might seem like I'm evading the question. Aren't those important things to think about though? Prioritize maybe? Well you're more pragmatic that way. Yeah I guess.
00:04:56
Speaker
And i I mean part of me of course there's times where I'm like shit this would suck to be in this position forever. But also like, I mean, her being comfortable and happy is pretty important for my kids. So I'm also like, it is what is in that way.
00:05:16
Speaker
But you guys were starting to raise the questions, what about after they're like adults, what do you do? And I don't have that have that figured out. Yeah, maybe you get back up in it. e Yeah, let's let's let's solve that first before we talk about money. huh
00:05:35
Speaker
No, but you guys are, you got a lot on your plate with that and the business in the US. I think that's it. People think, oh, you're just written you're putting a lot on your plate by not figuring it out. Because I've other people, even like a friend of mine is a lawyer in St. Louis. She's like, well, you got to figure that out. You're starting a business and stuff. And then I'm like,
00:05:57
Speaker
I don't feel the burden of it that much. Maybe every once in while I go, I might be like a jealous, separated prick where I'm like, ah, she should get her own money, but that quickly goes, wait, it's just still your family and don't worry
Financial Protection in Divorce
00:06:12
Speaker
about it. Yeah, no, the only risk I would see, dude, is that she meets somebody and that person has some different views about what she should have access to based on your success. It's inside her head and like that guy's like, or or woman. oh
00:06:31
Speaker
That guy's like just free riding on me basically. Yeah, or it comes up and creates some issues. Or, yeah. Some legal issues. custody or shit What's funny is we, everyone, like, to when you talk to anyone, that the immediate assumption is she's gonna try to fuck me over.
00:06:50
Speaker
So everyone's like, you gotta protect yourself. And it's kind of sad that in this state, no one's like, whoa, it doesn't, it could just be fine. Everyone's like, you gotta figure it out because she's gonna fuck me. It's like, whatever, i don't know.
00:07:03
Speaker
But i'm also like, well, if she really wants to fuck me over, then fine. Because have confidence in myself. I'll play the martyr. I'll play the martyr. No, but... I mean, I'll... It's unlikely. Then, you if that happens, then you just have to go through the regular process and see where it lands. but But, yeah, it's just funny that everyone's just immediately like, oh, when's the war happening?
00:07:26
Speaker
You know, when is she gonna fuck you over? Yeah, I mean it's rational to protect yourself, but ah but I get it. It's a different country, it's not as litigious the US, but you know, you gotta... I'm sure people down there can be vicious. It's just, no one's like... You don't hear that many people be like... I mean, the first question's like, how are your kids? But no one's like, how are you guys working? And then the second question is is the implication that you're gonna get fucked over if you don't take action.
00:07:54
Speaker
Which is sad, I guess there's enough and history of bad divorces and separations for that to be the case. in Do you think there's faith in humanity now?
00:08:05
Speaker
Or it's just deteriorating rapidly where you would think about the worst case immediately there something that another person could do to you? Even another person that shared 20 years with you.
00:08:16
Speaker
you'd immediately go there. But that's... I have less faith in humanity, but in this instance, for some reason, in this instance, I'm not worried about it. but But it's also like, you think right now, because you knew us, you we were married it was the marriage was good, by whatever, like if you if you and your wife got divorced, would you immediately be like, think oh, that person's evil?
00:08:37
Speaker
um it It comes from married couples, would you be like, oh, I'm going go fuck this person over? It's like people don't take that into account. Like if it was in their own own your own situation, would you be like, all right, I'm fucking mowing up, dude. Get out the nuclear arms. If I came home and she was in an act of orgy. That didn't happen to me. Possible. Yeah, but no. Yeah.
00:09:02
Speaker
She's in an act of orgy. She's like, I'm with all these people and I need to share your income with these 13
00:09:09
Speaker
It's rational. She's trying to justify it. Hear me out. Yeah, thank you I get what you're saying, but I would get that. Maybe just get a thought about it going. A thought. A train of thought.
00:09:20
Speaker
Write it down. How about this, though? Have a conversation. Yeah. How about this? You talk about faith in you humanity, it's like we're all losing faith in humanity, but then how many people in your everyday life are you like, this is the result of humanity deteriorating?
00:09:38
Speaker
It's like, I can't think anyone close, like, that I deal with where I'm like, this is the product of a deteriorating civilization, but in general, I feel like humanity is on
Material Excess vs. Simplicity
00:09:48
Speaker
the fritz, as we say. But I can't point to like some 10 people in my life where I'm like, yep.
00:09:55
Speaker
it's like over there everything feels like it's over there it feels like it's online now man i yeah i have people that damn that song was cool do you think they're gonna pick this up coming in hard don't know but we'll mention it should play this in the background gonna have the financial talk my wife i think this song was about you what it's about This is about... An actor? No, it's about the lead singer of Stones.
00:10:25
Speaker
Jagger? Yeah. No. Is this Vane? Yeah, it's about... Oh, man. i heard it was about Jagger. No, it's about... It's an actor. I think he was in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
00:10:37
Speaker
Like pan guy. Oh, Beatty? Yeah. Warm Beatty? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. about Warm Beatty. It could be about Jagger. I thought it was about Warm Beatty. Well, anyway... Jagger's not Vane.
00:10:50
Speaker
Jagger's just a nice fella. Exactly. given the keys of the world, what you going to do? Anyways. What were you saying? Back to, like, we talk about losing faith in humanity, but I'm like... No, I mean, I've got some family members, as you know, and has been mentioned on this motherfucker a million times.
00:11:06
Speaker
there They have some lost perspectives. And it is influenced by, I think, some of the stuff we see online that's really messed up. Yeah. And they're falling prey to... So you have direct access to people. You're like, this is the result of ahh this...
00:11:22
Speaker
shitty, compassionless world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So... but When did did that click with them, like, in the last 10 years? Or were they... they have gone down this boundas road in 1985? I think most left-leaning people point to the origin story of Trump.
00:11:39
Speaker
And that is the source of all stupidity. Because when you had to like suspend any sort of day-to-day logic to like suck that guy's dick mentally, psychologically suck his dick, like I love him no matter what, I think you started to lose pieces of rationale.
00:11:58
Speaker
Right. and Yeah, you have access to that. I have access to that, which it's striking. And I'm not, you know, batshit left.
00:12:09
Speaker
Except for on this podcast. I have access to, I definitely have access to the other side of that, which is like, nothing good has come out of anything that person, that guy's ever done or said, or, or that, like the right movement.
00:12:23
Speaker
Like this it's, it's, um, but it doesn't, it doesn't lead anything crazy like what you're talking about. It's mostly people like, God, that guy's an idiot. hate him. So far, so far.
00:12:37
Speaker
No, just saying that idea. Yeah, you're saying, well, it could get to the point where there's a revolution or something like that, or like a pushback. It's hard to tell. It's hard to tell if the, like, media, the right-wing media sphere that's becoming mainstream now with the but the conspiracy theories. Yeah. if they're just after clicks and making more money or they truly are have revolutionary ideals no it's just hard to know yeah that on that side is crazy i'm saying i'm more i don't have access to the to what you have access to career they're like leaving even to go as far as to say that trump is like a divine no no i have more access people on the on the left that are just like
00:13:24
Speaker
Nothing, nothing he does or even not that it's like the right thing to do but like oh Like if you like with tariffs, I told my kids too. I'm like It is pretty crazy that he's that the president is coming in and being like oh, I'm just kind of Pulling numbers out of the fucking blue and calling out tariffs But you should also know that tariffs are like a normal thing that every country does and and hits the US pretty hard with but there are people out there that you're just keeping it real for it Just keeping it real for me. But if you're gonna criticize them, you should you should have like you should be able to acknowledge all that too. There is a left movement that can't acknowledge any of that. theres There are certain... I'm saying that doesn't result in the craziness that the right movement does. Yeah. Usually. yeah Thank you. Thank you.
00:14:09
Speaker
Thank you, sir. We just got served by what I would deem is probably Hispanic guy. We should have him on right now. Just be like, where you at? Papers? Are worried? Are you worried that you're gonna get jumped in this place by some... fucking M16 carrying these ice guys? We could just hide the phones. He wouldn't even know.
00:14:38
Speaker
Oh, shit. Oh, man. That's gonna have to get edited. That was lame. No, dude, but like... The idea that left-wingers... need to normalize what seems to be or most rational people would consider extreme behavior for leadership the idea that they have to like buy into like one positive thing he did and ignore all the terrible stuff that that's not ignore that's a crock of shit no but like oh so how do you overcome if you think that this guy your heart
00:15:10
Speaker
is
00:15:13
Speaker
If you think this guy is egregiously taking away the rights of human beings who immigrated here and were had permission to stay here under the previous regime and then they're tackling people in the streets and you believe that's evil, how are you going to come back and say, oh, but I... He was right on taxes. yeah see Exactly.
00:15:38
Speaker
I see. Well, that's a good point, man. I never thought of it that way. So you think it's soing so insane that there's no way to have that normal thing that we used to do? Well, at that point, I agree with that. I disagree with that.
00:15:52
Speaker
de Deploying National Guard into cities that have no issues.
00:15:58
Speaker
Mmm.
00:16:01
Speaker
Well, that have no... No emergency.
00:16:09
Speaker
On and on and on. Anyway, I don't want to talk about that fuck. That drives your... Your, um... What do it?
00:16:21
Speaker
Losing faith in humanity. Well, I hate to keep acting like I'm... fucking Tarzan and coming out of the jungle all free and fresh and out of it. But it is still, the more I'm like live abroad, the more I come back to the US,
00:16:39
Speaker
and the machine in place outside of the government and everything like it's still crazy just walk around my kids and we're like where is all this shit coming from and where is it going the amount of like great we're pretty good man thank you where's like you meet trucks of goods yeah just stuff like just so much fucking stuff and levels of stuff new stuff at a mall outlets for older stuff and moon its it's crazy.
00:17:08
Speaker
It's so insane when you're in a place, as i imagine, cook everything's fine in Costa Rica and there's malls and all sorts of shit, but just not nearly the amount of selection and restaurants and fast food options and you're just like, it's crazy.
Public Amenities: US vs. Costa Rica
00:17:26
Speaker
With the... with ah like, I don't know, it's just... and all it all seems to work, I guess. But it's just so... it's like, where the hell is it all?
00:17:37
Speaker
Who's buying all this shit? laugh in a depressed way when, you world chaos ensues and it's like buy stocks and it's like, oh, the economy's gonna hum no matter what. Look...
00:17:52
Speaker
Michael Burry, the famous investor, he's got he's invested in Valero and it's really going to profit off of this Venezuela deal. But just the mindset of like, theres always an angle we don't want to phase the economy and and that's the most important thing ever.
00:18:09
Speaker
Really cutting something like USAID has been devastating. It's been devastating for human lives around the world. But as long as our economy is humming in this country and people are buying stuff and throwing away stuff and giving away things they don't need and just continuing the machine, it's all good.
00:18:30
Speaker
And that to me is a weird, as you would say, dichotomy. That's your word.
00:18:38
Speaker
Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, yeah, you're right.
00:18:45
Speaker
But you don't you don't have access to all that. All you see is like, right now we're sitting in a pretty nice place. Well kept sidewalks. Everyone here seems happy.
00:18:57
Speaker
We walked here. i was telling the way over here in the rec center that I took my... like I mean, this is like access. When I'm down there, I'm like telling my kids, like, we really don't need much to be happy.
00:19:11
Speaker
And I come here in the public rec center. It's nicer than this fancy fucking athletic club that I that i live, that I belong to. 90 foot rock climbing mall. Yeah. It's got two swimming pools, one i'm with a bunch of slides, like giant water park slides.
00:19:28
Speaker
There's a, you know, sure. There's a, like a,
00:19:37
Speaker
like you know two or three basketball court situation, racquetball courts, indoor track, there's I don't know, you have giant weight room TVs everywhere, probably 50 treadmills and non-impact elliptical machines.
00:19:53
Speaker
It's fucking not crazy but I'm like oh this is nice like if it's like this seems like a good use of money you know But I'm also the guy, like when i'm down there, I'm like, Luca, you know, let's just go to the fucking park with the jank ass rim that nobody fixes.
00:20:10
Speaker
My friend, she's been riding municipality in the town we live in to fix these like basketball rims. And it's just like, well, fucking. I didn't even know it was possible to have a rim that's not like a normal size. It would be like a rim that's like a smaller smally circle or something.
00:20:27
Speaker
Like how can you fuck that up? It's like you have to work to fuck that up. It just doesn't happen. But everyone's out there playing, it's fine. You know, where there's always a rim that... There's never any nets.
00:20:38
Speaker
But there's always like a rim with a couple bolts. Would people steal the nets? I guess. It's like, i don't know what the hell you... What do you need for the nets? Yeah. You can't keep a net in public park in Costa Rica for like three days.
00:20:52
Speaker
It's crazy. What do they do with that? They... That one I don't understand. Make a bag out of? I have no idea what you do with that. I can understand the bolts or like the metals or shit like that, you know? But yeah, all that shit you're like, well...
00:21:06
Speaker
It's just weird how because of whatever this infrastructure how shit just works a little more smoothly here than other places. Same with Europe. You know.
00:21:19
Speaker
Where are the police?
00:21:25
Speaker
We're around but we're not patrolling the... Talk to the mic man. I'm eating.
00:21:36
Speaker
They're not, they don't care about hoops. Sorry dude, I've got 300 pounds of salad to eat. oh So, if you guys can hear me eating it's because I've got a fuckin' whole farms worth of lettuce and nuts and berries in front of me here.
00:21:56
Speaker
Yeah, and the police are monitoring the court probably for that. I don't know, it's just weird.
00:22:06
Speaker
Like ah a normal basketball court in good shape. You've been in the gym? know Yeah, you don't always get... yeah it's ah It's like a find. It's like a score when you find a gym where everything's like good. It's like you hear about that gym. It has a level floor, two working rims.
00:22:26
Speaker
Wow. I mean, I kind of like it. know It's kind of my that my personality. like Just dealing with it. But... It is funny. Or you get nine you get a lot of those double rims that just, if you if the ball touches the rim, it just like bounces.
00:22:44
Speaker
Like there's no, you get no feel for it or anything. there's no There's no touch. I've played in probably three good gyms in Costa Rica. One is at our athletic club. It's not even that great. There's still dead spots in it.
00:22:57
Speaker
No chains. One is the place where we were playing on Tuesday nights. pretty good gym. Got some issues with solid like leaks in the ceiling shit like that, but the rims are good floors But if it starts raining, you'll have a couple that's that's standard Like leaks in the because they'll always redo the roofs in the dry season. They never know like But these are like tin like a like I'm like a thin layer of like zinc something like that like What but they never are considered like a chain rim in the hood there?
00:23:32
Speaker
I think a chain, a chain ring might be a valuable medal for somebody in my chat.
00:23:44
Speaker
Yeah, so I guess in that case, let's bomb, let's bomb Iraq so we can have some decent basketball courts, huh? Well, it is i don't know easy to sit here and talk shit about the US. Well, what do you think that is?
00:24:01
Speaker
Like... What do mean?
Impact of Poverty on Public Spaces
00:24:04
Speaker
The one thing might be there though, is that... the alls that it really ah All that kind of shit comes with poverty, I think. And like, it's not that that country is so and impoverished.
00:24:18
Speaker
It's that it's it's it's a small country. Jose is like a tiny city and everything everything is close to everything. You have the president's house, literally, it's like down the street from my house, but it's across the street from the ghetto.
00:24:31
Speaker
like you're intertwined with like hood and nice houses and shit and maybe it's just that the the poppers that the people living in poverty are very close to everything else you get all the crimes and shit of poverty there.
00:24:46
Speaker
We're here we're still like kind of separated or segregated. Oh yeah. So maybe a public park in your neighborhood there's less likely that someone who needs that net to survive. Whatever the fuck they're doing with it.
00:24:57
Speaker
It's in the area. Oh there's parks here that have glass backboards. Yeah. Beautiful nets and nobody ever plays on them. I sent pictures of my friend down there.
00:25:10
Speaker
kind of a joke i'm like look at this an outdoor park with a rim on it
00:25:16
Speaker
i didn't even mention that there's plenty of basketball courts down there just no rim it took the rim off it seems like pretty for the metal yeah i mean i've seen places like that like in st louis or other other hood perhaps probably plays in them where where you go see mark that's pretty beat up
00:25:39
Speaker
I mean to agree about the conversation. No, but it begs the question of like, is all what the US, s because everything's nice, is our approach worth it? Now we're all fat and fucking depressed, and not all of us, but then we're bitchy and nothing's ever good enough and we are isolated.
00:26:00
Speaker
I mean, but we have rims, we have dope rims. A lot of nets. I know. the This is the hardest thing, though, dude. You can't really... it's It's really hard for anyone to appreciate. like People talk about their kids. They're like, oh, I grew up poor, and now my kid's got everything. The kids don't appreciate it.
00:26:20
Speaker
It's impossible to appreciate something unless you've dealt with something else. So, like, my friend, she was just up here visiting her friend her family in Illinois, and everything was, like, amazing to her.
00:26:34
Speaker
She's like, holy shit. and And I'm like, what? But like, for her, all that, whatever, the selection and just all this nice stuff. like She's not a real consumeristic type person that's like, oh, let's go shop a lot. But just shit like a nice ah nice high school,
00:26:54
Speaker
Like a high school court, and generally you couldn't, you could never, even there, let's just say ah you found a place that had like a nice, nice playing field and shit like that. It would all be locked up. You couldn't even use it. They would like be protecting it. Like if a high school had a nice soccer field.
00:27:10
Speaker
So just the openness where you can go to a park, have the most amazing flat field ever with a nice basketball court and they'd be like, they're like, holy shit, that's amazing. But no one here gives a shit. Like you said, they're empty all the time.
00:27:23
Speaker
Some of my judges are fucking... City's spending my tax money, I didn't ask them to, or it would be something stupid like that. Or it'd be like, you got a playing field in your park that's nicer than half the professional playing fields in the third world, you know?
00:27:38
Speaker
So... It's just... I mean, I get it, because I'm the same as you mentioned a hundred times, I grew a pretty good situation, but it's hard to appreciate what's what's here too, you know?
00:27:51
Speaker
Like the fact that you could leave your bike out front your house. Costa Rican friend of ours, like when they moved here, they were like, I couldn't believe it. I woke up, all these kids in my neighborhood and left their bikes at the park across the street and woke up and they were still there.
00:28:03
Speaker
And Costa Rica they were? No, that's here. These Costa Ricans moved to the U.S. s Oh, yeah. And the first thing they noticed is that people can leave their shit outside and not get jacked. And people were like, that's insane.
00:28:17
Speaker
Which is, makes me laugh. But it's also like... I don't know what that is, but that like a mentality? Like why is that that way? just think it's probably poverty and there's very few opportunity to eat food and you need...
00:28:36
Speaker
So, but would you... If you were forced to choose which lifestyle to live, which one? Well, I have. I chose the other one.
00:28:49
Speaker
I mean, I got jacked with it. My daughter's gotten jacked with the beach couple times. And people stealing cell phones. i havet I have a feeling that stuff goes on here too little bit.
00:29:00
Speaker
Like petty crimes and shit like that. course, but... Well, I think I still have in my head that Europe is the best of both worlds. It's kind of a cleaner, tighter, and well-organized society, but you have that sort of a chiller attitude and you have less of the less of the bitching and... but I could be wrong. But when went to Southern Europe at least... I was like... Damn, fucking... Everything is nice, but it still has more of a feel to it that... that you like.
Gratitude for US Opportunities
00:29:40
Speaker
But don't know if that's true. But that would speak to maybe your idea that like there is a way to do... to do left correctly without it being some... turning into Cuba or Venezuela or some locked up place where people are oppressed.
00:29:54
Speaker
Do left. Um, all right. We figured that out. What's your, uh, do you have like, goals? lot thankful for in the U.S. as well, i guess, at the end of the day. You got big goals for 2026, man? Mm.
00:30:10
Speaker
With the biz? No. Or your s sex life? Yep.
00:30:17
Speaker
Number one concern is trim.
00:30:21
Speaker
And I build everything around that. And what does that mean? Just kidding, dude. I'm just trying to give you what you want, Sticking trim? Munching trim? Si, senor.
00:30:35
Speaker
All the above, bro. I don't have big plans for... Do you do resolu... Someone asked me if I if i do i view resolutions. You don't seem like a resolution guy.
00:30:46
Speaker
Yeah? Nah.
00:30:52
Speaker
I'm not.
00:30:58
Speaker
it's it's I think 26 will be a good year. Oh yeah? Oh yeah? How come?
00:31:08
Speaker
Well I think... I think I'll just be on a path
00:31:16
Speaker
I mean, I have to I have we have to figure have to figure out the business But then figure out how to fit it into my life and hopefully it it's like I don't I don't want it's not like just figure out so it's financially successful like figure out before I can You know be a major part of my kids life and be down there and figure out how to still be a team player in the business and all that stuff and I think <unk>s It's gonna be hard for the next few months as we grow to the point where like, alright, we're growing but we... It needs more of my time, maybe more, but then that will lead to like the back half of the year where it's like, oh, we help. It's going well and it's fun because it's going well, know?
00:32:07
Speaker
And that's like, that's why think it'll go well. I think it might be tough over the next few months, but...
00:32:14
Speaker
But even this, like, you know, I worked i was working last night. i worked working on the way I was late because I was working, and so far, it's like, that's pretty awesome that i that I found this thing where I have some flexibility.
00:32:26
Speaker
Like, I'm here in Colorado with you in the middle of Tuesday. Are you still working this night? Yeah, I'm still working. This guy, have you noticed? It's like a double word. Awesome, awesome. It's like, hi, hi.
00:32:40
Speaker
Cool, cool. Yeah. Awesome, awesome. I know it's at that time. he been saying that every time? Trim, trim. Yeah, he says it every time. Trim, trim. There's a funny line about that the movie Goodfellas.
00:32:53
Speaker
But I know don't like those type of movies. Anyways, I don't... The changing of the calendar doesn't... It didn't do much for me, but... And I've never really been that person.
00:33:05
Speaker
i feel I think i'm I'm always still in the... the US cycle a little bit of related to the weather of where you kind of get like fat and stir crazy in the winter and then I get all excited to crush.
00:33:22
Speaker
So like the business will slow down now is what you're expecting or something? What? No, it's like I think I'm in that like even since maybe October I'm in that cycle where you start you like you work more, you're more inside more, you're less you're less take care of yourself less You're fucking eating out and eating for whatever holidays and shit. and then And then you're like, fuck work. It's June 15th and I'm going to stay outside until 9pm and sweat and have fun.
00:33:54
Speaker
I still have that cycle even though we're not really on that weather calendar. Right. that You don't have to do that now.
00:34:07
Speaker
That's like a work thing. i I feel bad because like I have you building a business. I have some other friends that have been out of a job now five, six months because the market's tough.
00:34:22
Speaker
And i I will be honest, in the last month, i haven't been doing shit. i mean i mean I just haven't been doing shit. Why do you feel bad? Is it because what use am I to society? But like, I've been going to the library and reading like an old retired guy.
00:34:43
Speaker
Go to the library and read the publications like the the latest economist, Kipplinger Investments. And I'll sit there and read them and chill after my workout.
00:34:56
Speaker
Come back, have a lunch. This is how pathetic my life is. Come back, have lunch.
00:35:03
Speaker
and maybe we go exercise again and read.
00:35:09
Speaker
Sounds great. Yeah, but... You don't think you're contributing to society? Well, I didn't coach this year, which is kind of annoying, but... Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I'm not doing shit.
00:35:21
Speaker
In the last month in particular. Like, even POS, I'm riding it in, man. I'm just like...
00:35:29
Speaker
I'll edit as fast as possible. i want to record this piece of shit as fast as possible. We're recording this on our phones in a restaurant right now. It was my idea, by the way, because I thought you guys, you people would love that gorilla recording stuff. That's how low my standards have sunk, because normally I would keep keep the integrity of this podcast as high as possible, and I just said, no, I'm going to the library.
00:35:57
Speaker
You'll figure it out. I think... but nothing to figure out, though. That's the thing. i'm just haven't been doing shit. Well, there is something to figure it out. If you feel guilty that you're not contributing to society, you know? I don't feel guilty. It's just actually... I'm making it sound that way for the entertainment of this. Uh-huh. When can I come out to St. Louis and hang?
00:36:20
Speaker
Well... Spring? move come out Yeah, I would wait. Yeah, May? I think... Maybe I can help. Maybe I can find some purpose.
00:36:31
Speaker
Oh, now it's on me now. You're guilty gay and now it's on me. Maybe you can help me find a place in the world. still I think we'll still probably go to these stupid farmers markets this year. You should probably. You can help with that. Come out and sit at this shit on Saturday morning and fuck around with me. You like that. Just listen to me talk shit to people.
00:36:53
Speaker
Who's this guy? It's just a worthless, retired piece of shit. We need something to new How many stupid lines I have for people walking by? Oh yeah.
00:37:03
Speaker
My best is just someone walks by and i just yell, we sell wood.
Role of Farmers Markets in Business
00:37:07
Speaker
And they have to say something stupid back every time. Oh, I didn't notice. Oh, really? That's great.
00:37:17
Speaker
Oh, I had an idea. You might. That's good one. And then I close that bitch every fucking time, dude. I sell $8,000 worth of wood and I didn't even know what hit him. When can the business, like, where you think you don't need that kind of venue to make sales? A couple years? I think we're... I don't think we need it, but...
00:37:41
Speaker
Most of the the big farm, probably even here, the big farmers markets, you have to start signing up now because have to make a decision. Yeah, but I think it's good initially for promotion, even if you don't make sales there.
00:37:52
Speaker
Yeah. We always make sales, but... I mean, you're talking about the most of them like 50 bucks a week or something like that. But then you've got to, for us, you've got to rent a van.
00:38:04
Speaker
So the the and weekly investments ends up being about 200 bucks. But we usually sell, you know, $1,000 worth of shit. And then once or twice a month, we'll book a project out of it. And someone be like, oh, I don't need anything here, but i need a dining table or something.
00:38:19
Speaker
And then bam. Can you send him like interns to those? Yeah, I'm to send them. have a couple of salespeople working with me. I would like to get them. Just pay them, but have them go do it and then let them pull up the commission on it so they can make some money. and The problem is the setup.
00:38:35
Speaker
You gotta haul all this shit out there and we're not selling fucking jewelry or whatever we're soaps. The other pussy shit they sell at farmers markets. bill So, it's like if you could bring...
00:38:48
Speaker
a small table that you put the uh ipad on that people buy stuff with and then you bring the small stuff that'd be good yeah like the shelves and na um yeah what what would really be good is if we had a we start making money we have a van so you can leave your like inventory in the van or just have it ready when you want and then we can have anybody who we trust who can sell, come pick up the van, drive it and drive it back and then we don't have to be a part of it.
00:39:20
Speaker
Rent the van, though. I think you can just replace inventory in the van as it sells. Yeah. That's the pie in the sky, bro. For farmers markets. I'm so interested. Keep going. Yeah. No, let's talk NBA real quick. No, we're good, I know. Um...
00:39:41
Speaker
NBA in 2016. NBA, want to talk NBA and then gay sex. I want to talk... I want to talk... Yeah, you mentioned that on the way over here.
Challenges in Promoting Female Athletes
00:39:49
Speaker
ah what's your What's your take on the state of 2026 state of sports?
00:39:56
Speaker
think it's amazing actually. Have you seen that chick in women's college basketball? I think it's Audi Crooks. From Iowa State? That one? For you guys absolutely no rush for anything.
00:40:11
Speaker
She's like 380. And Dominic. three eighty dominant It's so funny to watch. work or watch And the refs won't call. like She'll sometimes will offense a foul, but because people bounce off of her so often, they won't call her.
00:40:26
Speaker
What is she getting like hack-a-shack or what? No, these tall girls are just standing behind her and she turns her shoulder and they go flying. And I've watched some highlights recently of her playing against Kansas.
00:40:40
Speaker
And the girl guarding I'm not lying, she went to the floor 10 times. Not to the floor. wow No offensive call. Were they offensive fouls? A couple of them, for sure.
00:40:52
Speaker
You think she'll think she'll thrive in the WNBA? I've been curious about that because she's 6'3", so she's big enough. But is she so wide that that 6'6"-type WNBA chick can't block her?
00:41:05
Speaker
Or... Is she quick? She's got good footwork, but she's not quick. She just relies on... Like, she's so fucking wide that you're going it's gonna be tough to block her. Because where she puts the shot is... I don't know, what's the width of her maybe? Like, feels like it's like six feet. Is she fat or like... She is ah big woman.
00:41:30
Speaker
but it's unreal to watch it. Never seen anything like it. It's not even comparable to Shaq. Is she, uh, she's like on the level of, uh, the Iowa girl that blew up as far as, like, celebrity? I don't know that she's... What's that girl?
00:41:49
Speaker
Caitlin Clark? Yeah, Caitlin Clark. Is she on Caitlin Clark's level celebrity? I mean, I think she has lot of haters because she's not, like, super hot anything.
00:41:59
Speaker
I mean, I'm making that up, but everybody knows who she is. But I've never seen anybody that big play basketball. Well, I wonder if, i was gonna ask you where you think the WNBA will be in 10 years, but if is she, so you got Kaitlyn Clark, you had the, was it Reese, the girl from LSU, so you had a little bit of like a Larry Magic type thing with a little race in it, which was nice.
00:42:24
Speaker
Now is the WNBA gonna get like this big girl and a few other personalities are gonna kick it into becoming like a sport that everybody like latching onto? I know, because her game is not entertaining.
00:42:38
Speaker
because It's effective but not entertaining. What's ruined, what's made the NBA and what's ruined it are in the same time i like that latching on to individual personalities.
00:42:49
Speaker
Maybe the WNBA needs to do that. They can't be excited to. They need to. They need to, but this girl probably doesn't fit that bill. I don't know, maybe she does because she's so exceptionally different physically.
00:43:01
Speaker
it's it's It's amazing to see. Everybody loves a big fat person doing well. Like like a John Daly in golf when he was like fucking crushing 7.7s. But this is not even comparable, man. I don't even know the corollary here. Is it like... Is it Shaq?
00:43:19
Speaker
He's even too small. He was also, he was young, he was like a statue of Adonis. He wasn't even fat. Well he's big, yeah, but no she's... Kevin Duckworth, gonna tell me she's like Kevin Duckworth? No.
00:43:35
Speaker
Tractor trailer. Pick the big, like isn't there a... Is there an offensive tackle in a NFL that's like 400? Tony Saragusa? Like that? Is he like 400? He doesn't play more, but yeah he was just a big fat Italian dude. They put him on like third and short.
00:43:50
Speaker
for the So she's like the biggest offensive lineman that you've had ever fucking seen in your life playing basketball. What's that guy on the Broncos? Are you at Bowles or something? A big white dude from Idaho, I think, or Boise State.
00:44:03
Speaker
Yeah, don't know if he's that big, though. How about Ironhead and Hayward? that tailback from Pitt in the 80s that was like 300 pounds or the fridge could she be the fridge yes could she be marketed as Perry that guy died dude yeah she could be she's huge you remember we were probably eight or nine you were probably 12 I was seven when the fridge was like good morning America dunking on Wheaties boxes oh yeah yeah and Walter Payton was there yeah that whole crew singletary yeah
00:44:36
Speaker
Could she be that, Lance? She could be that in the... got you. She could be that What do you call it? The media landscape? I don't know if it matters, but this is a white girl?
00:44:51
Speaker
No. Sister? but you call it the media landscape i don't know if it matters with this white girl
00:44:58
Speaker
start sight Some combination of, to me, like... Cherokee Indian? No, she looks like a native Hawaiian and black. See, she could be like everyman, right?
00:45:14
Speaker
So do you think WNBA will be around 10 years? I mean, if they get the marketing right, yeah, of course. As its current state, though, or like, it'll be a thing? There's just a lot of controversy this year with the...
00:45:27
Speaker
General Manager, she everybody thought she was piece of shit. What was that? think I saw something about that. Oh, the General Manager of the League, you mean? Yeah. Like the Commissioner? Yeah.
00:45:40
Speaker
Is that good for him? Huh? Is that good for the league though? Just the fact that J.P. Thank you so much for coming. Thanks, man. Thanks, buddy. You too. I don't know what his voice just got introduced to. He has no idea what is going to happen to his status in America.
00:45:57
Speaker
Dope mustache, huh? Yeah. And young. He's young. wonder where he's headed. What do you think he's off to next? I don't want to hijack the WMDA conversation, but don't you admire like how happy is?
00:46:10
Speaker
to be doing this? Well yeah, that's why said what do you think he's off to next or what do you think he's... but what Is he grad school? Were you ever that chipper when you were in and your job? Oh I was great with customers, yeah. So were you.
00:46:23
Speaker
I watched you. Yeah but I was still like... Oh yeah right now but was still like a talking shit fool. Yeah, but we but you go in the back room and maybe like sulk and be depressed.
00:46:35
Speaker
There's nothing worse than the bad apple in a restaurant or catering job who's just like a middle-aged lady who's just like, indeed, it may even give me my paycheck. Like just bitching. You shouldn't be here. It should just be just young people. That person doesn't have any yeah any choices. Anyways, so...
00:46:50
Speaker
anyway so I just, I do, we've talked about it, maybe not for years now, but we admire the people that do some of these jobs that we think we're too assholes for who are just happy about it. It's pretty cool.
00:47:05
Speaker
Oh yeah. That's the only way to be in life. And it just just says I shouldn't exist. I can't do it. I have I should not exist. critique everything. We could take it back to 75, dude, and tell your parents.
00:47:18
Speaker
I was, out did you know I was a mistake? I tell you that? dad My dad legitimately didn't want me, he wanted daughter needed be good me to go bye-bye. No, it was a mistake. just They didn't want another kid together.
00:47:31
Speaker
This crazy right-wing dude was pumped like pushing for an abortion back in 75? I don't know the specifics about that. I just know I was a mistake. You can cut this out. but that's That's a real 180 right there, huh? Yeah.
00:47:44
Speaker
Have you had that conversation with him? Why he's pumping like fundamental Christian? No. Go straight into abortion. Hey, Dad, i want you to check it up on Trump today, but I do want to put this on the table. Where do you want that third term, third trimester abortions?
00:48:02
Speaker
Oh, and have you seen that big girl from Iowa State? Let's get back to her. Is the WNBA going to be around 10 years? mean, that's just a dumb question.
00:48:13
Speaker
Well, I think it's it could not be around. Will an asteroid hit the Earth in 100 years? It's just dumb. The question is almost like we have a reality check. What's it been around now for like 20 years, 15 years?
00:48:30
Speaker
Yeah, I think the question might be... It's not like growing, don't think, is it? It's grown a lot. But do you think it's going to get more entertaining or less? Well, that's what like someone like this might be. They should push the shit out it, you know?
00:48:47
Speaker
I think they have a... They can't push... if You saw the backlash with Katelyn. I think they have a little fairness issue going on. It's like a kind of... Hey, shut up. It's like a like ah ah woman thing. I'm not sure where it's like... Cattiness stuff? No, just fucking ride your horses. You all will benefit. Yeah.
00:49:07
Speaker
But like, no, she's not... How can she be a star? I've been in the league 12 years. like Nobody gives a fuck. Just ride... the thoroughbreds that you have right now to popularity. And part of it, as we've said before, late be interesting, be weird, look good if you can.
00:49:28
Speaker
you can't, be weird. yeah Be weird, be robin. Yeah, they have some personality, like bring it. And nobody's like nobody's impressed when you get on and say, we play quality basketball. Exactly. Nobody's impressed. Just be cool, man. It's entertainment.
00:49:43
Speaker
Do something. This is why i asked it. That's why I think they should push that girl or or whatever, because they're not going to win. I just don't think they're gonna convince people they're gonna win to be like we're playing great basketball.
00:49:56
Speaker
There's no weekend. No, no, no. Camden Brink's like 6'5", beautiful blonde. should get a huge hoop job. Might throw her game off a little, but it would like really make it interesting. No, I'm kidding on that, but yeah definitely bring some freak out to the game.
00:50:15
Speaker
I don't know. There's something they need to do because i just don't think they're light years behind the basketballs playing in the NBA and people can talk shit about that. But well that's why Angel Reese is... You don't agree. That's why... No, I mean, they're light years behind. Yeah, entertainment-wise.
00:50:30
Speaker
That's why Angel Reese is great. Because she's crazy. Yeah. Shit-talking crazy and like... Kind of like what you would expect from a girl gets an and one and is like...
00:50:42
Speaker
a Yeah. So you need more of that weird shit. Yeah. And sexy. And sexy. Big boobs, big boobs. Tight trim.
00:50:54
Speaker
I don't know. Do you think that would do it, though? That would help. If every girl was hot? It would help. That? Wow. No. No, I think you have to have storylines. i don't think it's hotness. it's There's something. There's like a certain sort of...
00:51:09
Speaker
I don't know what to call it. It might be hot in this book. Add a little professional wrestling to it. Just a little.
00:51:18
Speaker
I just wonder, maybe maybe it's like pull back and like our audience is a lesbian community, young girls that play sports. and like who are they targeting? Maybe wear skirts again.
00:51:31
Speaker
Tennis skirts. Skirts would be dope.
00:51:35
Speaker
One of the things i was going say, speaking to that big girl, is like wi the WNBA game is... You think she's the key? It's played so below the rim that the body types for female basketball players are... It seems in some cases polar opposite to males, where they're really wide in the thighs and because they have to like handle that.
00:52:00
Speaker
contact and not it's not like they're getting way up over the top people a wider body shorter girl might do better huh stronger like big hips yeah like a navajo indian body or something like that i don't know about that but like a five five nine hundred and sixty pound point guard is is effective not five nine hundred and twenty it' so It's a different thing, whereas, you know, at least again, it's a leaner game in the men's, obviously looking for more elevation and explosiveness up top. I think if the game is, I've watched it, and the game is fine. It's definitely a different game than the NBA.
00:52:40
Speaker
but I don't think you could you could spend all day going like oh you guys should why they're better fundamentally sound and all that shit I'm like nobody fucking cares you're probably right like they do a lot of things great on the court right they shoot well they play a team game they spread the floor but I don't fucking care like what I'm like what yeah it's just when you have these freaks that are in the NBA It's gonna be hard to compete with that because you're not only watching you're watching like a spectacle and you're watching 10 dudes that are Freaks and way bigger than any normal human you ever deal with dayto- day to day. That's that's hard to compete with it's like what are they gonna compete on?
00:53:22
Speaker
And no one's like well, I just like watching good fundamental shots and layups. Sex. Quit shaking the table dude. Then they're gonna be like then people are gonna be like you're They won't do it.
00:53:36
Speaker
If they put any sort of sex appeal into it, they're gonna it's gonna be like you're degrading the integrity of the game or something like that. Yeah.
00:53:47
Speaker
So they're fucked. That's why I asked the question. They're gonna be around in 36. Maybe. But you think it's growing. I know it is. There's fanning teams. Caitlin Clark's brought in a shitload more fans.
00:53:58
Speaker
Yeah, she has. But what segment is it growing in? Just lesbians, Matt. That's what you want to hear, right? mean, that'd be fine with me.
00:54:09
Speaker
Just lesbians. I don't... I don't... I don't... I'm not... Anyone who watched it, you immediately start suspicious. I didn't even start this conversation. I'm not like a WNBA advocate. You know more about it than anyone I've ever met. I know some about it, but... Let's talk Trae Young from the Hawks. He seems to be falling off big time. What's his deal, dude?
00:54:28
Speaker
Why hasn't he figured his hair out yet?
00:54:32
Speaker
His hair. Dude, what do you think about the NBA? You don't watch it, right? The NBA? Yeah, until playoffs. watch the highlights. Do you think it's better or worse?
00:54:44
Speaker
Let's go sport by sport. Then when? Let's say when since 1994 when we graduated. Better. Yeah, 90s basketball, 90s NBA sucked.
00:54:59
Speaker
90s NBA sucks. 80s, there's some nostalgia to it because I was a kid and bird and magic and what was going on. The 80s seemed like pretty good basketball.
00:55:11
Speaker
90s was terrible. Late 90s was starting to open up. Got that right. And then, yeah. I would say I think basketball outside of the excessive jacking up the threes.
Evolution of NBA Play Style
00:55:26
Speaker
What's wrong with that though?
00:55:28
Speaker
Well, the only thing i don't like about it really is how it affects any other level of the game. Like we said, those guys are freaks, but like even if I go i go play a pickup game now, or my son does a 12-year-old, everyone's jacking threes and most people can't shoot. it's it's ah we We need people to realize that shooting from deep, especially where they shoot in the and NBA, not many people can do it. Exactly.
00:55:53
Speaker
Not many people have that muscle memory to develop that. like The place where I played at... I have no desire to play basketball. don't know why. The place where i played at, I was not known as a shooter. like for the only The only reason other people were like known as shooters is because they did it.
00:56:11
Speaker
They weren't good shooters. There's probably a ah ah pool of 30 people that play in this game on Tuesday nights. There's one good shooter. One. Allen. If you're listening, Allen.
00:56:23
Speaker
I remember one good shooter I actually really came, two good shooters I came across. One was Terry. Fucking could not miss. Dude, we were at the recs the other day. Luke and I were like, everyone can make shots in the U.S. actually. But it was like a bunch of dudes like your age, like just out in the court on a Saturday just going.
00:56:43
Speaker
Just getting YouTube videos, working on their forum. And then a dad with his son and daughter out there make them shoot free throws. and And the kid was probably 15. He couldn't miss.
00:56:54
Speaker
Of course, uncontested, no movement anything. That's an interesting, we should talk about that because that's Skip, Trey Young, or the NBA. but I don't know. yeah This is an interesting thing. What do you think about the dads?
00:57:08
Speaker
mostly dads. It's now moms too, but they're out there coning, you know, they got cones, they got equipment and they're training their kids really hard. It's like, I'm just gonna do it myself. Yeah, they're training hard and they're there a lot and I see it all the time Yeah. Or used to, don't to the rec center anymore, but i like, the it's like a thing now where you're taking a kid who's like eight years old and you're developing all these skills for a sport, not just basketball, but everything.
00:57:36
Speaker
I think if you, what do you think that? If you pull cones out in any situation, you're fucking lunatic. Cones, it doesn't matter what you're doing. That's where you draw the line. If you're carrying around, if you got cones in your trunk and you bust them out you're training with your kids, hang it up.
00:57:54
Speaker
Too much, too far? Do you think Jordan's dad had cones? It's too much. yeah I mean, I work. I'll yell at my kids if they're doing something. Not yell at them, but like I'll be like, hey, whatever.
00:58:07
Speaker
Keep your eye on the ball or whatever normal shit you say to somebody. But cones. One thing I love doing is making my kids run. What about one cone to yell, girl?
00:58:17
Speaker
One cone, yeah. Hey, pussy. Yeah, how about a blowhorn? You show up to the rec center with cones and a blowhorn. Let's go out working today, guys. Come on. There's all these like cliche sayings now I see here like Gringos will do like or that you know like let's go let's go and make a shot or let's get our work in and you're like shut the fuck up. Yeah it's so sad. Sports culture has really taken over our our whole persona as a country.
00:58:47
Speaker
It's dumbed us down. Yeah. Immensely. it's And it travels so quickly, so if Let's Go is a thing, it's immediate, like a national, Let's Go! It's the worst. I was telling luca that the other day, like, what? I'm tired of Let's Go. Let's Go is... It's petering out at the high school level. I hope so.
00:59:04
Speaker
what's come What are we doing now?
00:59:07
Speaker
Anything fun? I can take back when I dump on somebody. think a lot of people, when they're taking it to the rack, Everybody started imitating the, hey!
00:59:19
Speaker
When they get hit to try to draw a foul. Oh really? Yeah. You yell hey? Hey! Hey! Like you're yelling at the ref? Yeah. it's ah It's sort of a signal that I got hacked.
00:59:35
Speaker
I love when... It's nice, it's terrible when it happens here, but I like when a non-English speaking person that might be in touch with some of the trends in the US try and do it, and then they have their same like a terrible accent.
00:59:48
Speaker
Hey! Anwan! Like screaming. There was a kid that... Anwan! Anwan! Anwan! There was a kid at the... That's me.
00:59:59
Speaker
That's that. was Asian. That's me. Yeah. I think the cones are too much, but I think there's that... I don't mind it. You said it's like excessive, that excessive happy time with the kids. So part of it's that. Do think that's happy time, though?
01:00:15
Speaker
Well, yeah, depends on the When your parents are training you? I mean, I do i'll go build play sports with my kids, for and it's fun. I'll still be like, correct them, but like... I make up games. You're talking about the dad who thinks he's private coaching them. We had cones at the house.
01:00:30
Speaker
anything No, but we make up games that say, okay, we're gonna both play this. We'll shoot five shots in each cone and whoever gets the most in a minute. We just place different games. So it was a way, I guess it was ah a fun way to, I don't know that I was thinking about training. i was just thinking about fun ways for us to hang.
01:00:49
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe I was thinking about training. I probably was, to be honest. I think it's fine. I mean, the other, the other. It's just a lot of it. Another option right now is the option is like they don't do anything.
01:01:01
Speaker
Like when got to your house and I was asking you a few kids just went across the street played in the park. They were older when you got there but like no one fucking does anything like that. Well, but my son was out in that driveway every day.
01:01:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's a great, it seemed like a great place to grow up. But yeah, nobody just goes outside does anything anymore really. So it's like, alright I gotta go get their work in.
01:01:26
Speaker
Which leads me to gay sex, so does that mean they're in the house doing gay stuff? If you don't teach your kids, you're not private coaching them, they're probably gonna succumb to the modern trend that everyone has to have gay sex. My family was having conversation about that last night. i think my girl, I wasn't in it, but when everything got gay.
01:01:47
Speaker
Because my kid was, they were like blaming generations. and it it was like my my brother's 35 so I think my son was like you got everything went like super I don't know he didn't say liberal i don't know what he said because he's 12 but it was basically everything got more like you gotta be gay basically and it was Brett's my my brother's generation that did that he stand up to you and then my son was like it's not us we're gen he said he's gen W or I don't know what they think they are now it's a 12 girl no Brett was like bullshit it wasn't us
01:02:22
Speaker
And then I think can't... What are they worried about, though? Well, it's just when you... it was The conversation more like when you started seeing, like, everyone was talking about there all being trans in school and all this crap, like, in the ninety s Maybe there are people that felt like that internally, but no one was wrestling with what their gender identity was. I just think that was a very short time frame of 2017 through 2023. Essentially, that's what my mom said. Maybe eight to ten years ago, some of that shit happened. Yeah, it only lasted. It's completely fallen off now.
01:03:01
Speaker
Because of, you mean the bad way? Because of like the right movement? Oh yeah. The backlash. But there's some positives to it Yeah, because it went over the top where it's like you were really creating policy for one kid in a school.
01:03:15
Speaker
Yeah. Creating, you know. Yeah. i I mean, it was pretty funny. There will be that. Like, you know, you assume that everything like youth, as as you skew younger, everything skews more left. But then there is like a flip now.
01:03:32
Speaker
because even my son was like i don't know they're just like oh it's kind of weird yeah well i mean honestly in 29 18 19 uh maybe gay and he's just trying to like he's coming out hard like a like a republican politician who's getting blown in the bathroom that's like anti-gay i don't god i don't know how relevant it is but in the mountains where we were living in 2018 fucking One of the middle school teachers had a pride flag in her classroom and a bunch of parents were protesting. what Was the teacher gay or was she supporting her? She was gay but it was like very very small little pride flag amongst all other, i think she was like a history social studies teacher amongst all sorts of other flags. Yeah, it was just one of many
01:04:24
Speaker
What was the result? on My wife and others coalesced around her. Keep it the classroom.
01:04:35
Speaker
What did that create like a weird dichotomy with the parents? No, no dichotomy. Drop that D-bomb on you, bro. No dichotomy. But was it like they become a... No, it blew over. There's your gay supporting wife against Ted Nugent over there. Doesn't like it.
01:04:52
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. That's... that's um Again, things we don't we don't need to worry about. I don't know if it's still prevalent here. I think one there might be like one furry in my kid's school or something like that.
01:05:09
Speaker
Yeah, don't think it's worth worrying about. They weren't going to take over the world. and nor was the Nor are trans people or anyone. That's what they're after so yeah they Acknowledge that. Do it on air. They were after taking over the world.
01:05:25
Speaker
And your kid and making your kid gay. or whatever you call it. Everybody, I think everyone has to acknowledge that. If they were to chill and be like, we're not trying to take over everything, we just want to whatever things would have worked out better for them yeah they fucked themselves now the military is trying to get women out but back to trey young don't know much about trey young he's always had bad hair yeah but his his point total his uh average is falling off is he a pit is he a guy that like kids like or something you know like would would your son be like i'm a trade one trey young guy he used to like he's just kind of fallen out of the look at ker going crazy
01:06:06
Speaker
What the fuck is Kerr doing? He was saying he's a lot like Draymond Green and was like, what are you fucking talking about? That demonstrates he's a fucking psycho.
01:06:19
Speaker
What you to do? Are you going beat up the ref?
01:06:25
Speaker
Fucking moron, he said. Dude, Kerr. I think he's just protecting his player with that. Look that, dude. Yeah, but... I'm growing the culture right there. i wonder what I wonder what the NBA will be like, and, you know, what's the next cycle?
01:06:46
Speaker
Is it going
01:06:50
Speaker
to be... I can't imagine. i just cannot. i get The NFL just doesn't do much for me. And the whole scene around it is just too much. I was making fun of it the other night. We were watching. I think it was and that was Pittsburgh.
01:07:04
Speaker
And it was Chris Collinsworth and I was just like, listen to this fucking ah RFK sounding motherfucker. Like this is just, it's too just like... Yeah, I can't take it.
01:07:15
Speaker
One of the things I noticed when I went to a game was the seats are definitely too small for the clientele. Yeah. It is, but it is truly American. It's fat, it's...
01:07:31
Speaker
ignorant. is it kind of ignorant? Besides one position? don't know. I mean, I love sports and know and as you know, been very knowledgeable about all all sports my whole life.
01:07:42
Speaker
But it's like... Just, yeah, I don't know. It's still weird though. Someone's really like heartbroken by a loss or... But the NFL seems weird. It's just like, fucking argh. It just seems like this redneck white guy thing. I agree. And then the whole thing with fantasy, where everyone's doing fantasy.
01:08:06
Speaker
I don't like any of it. I think we should end on that. Fuck the NFL. Get out of this restaurant. Fuck the NFL. Fuck the NFL. All right, let's hit the stop at the same time. One, two, three, go.
01:08:18
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
