Food Humor and Cereal Rediscovery
00:00:18
Speaker
We're back everybody. One week for you. Five minutes for us.
00:00:24
Speaker
Yeah, Jack had to take a quick protein bar break. Yeah, I was getting hungry. We were talking water burger and your boy was was getting very hungry. All I had had the day was some cereal and I went to the gym. So kind of cereal. I have like that. Have you ever had that special K one that has like the strawberries like the dried strawberries? Yeah. Yeah. So good, dude. It's unreal. I got that at Costco, too. They do like a double pack. Hell yeah, dude. I've been on a cereal kick too recently.
00:00:56
Speaker
I like me some cereal. I've been doing Kashi Golene Crunch. Dude, cereal is underrated. Rediscovering cereal in my late 20s. What other kinds have you been getting after? Dude, primarily that one. I really like honey bunches of oats too. As long as you're not eating cinnamon toast crunch or something, I feel like cereal is not really that bad for you. Yeah, I'm sure.
00:01:25
Speaker
like kashi goling crunch or like honey bunches of oats, isn't the healthiest thing for you in the world, but like it's not the most unhealthy. Like kashi goling crunch, the kind that I've been eating, has nine grams of fiber and nine grams of protein per serving. Dude, that's great. That sounds nutritious. Yeah, that sounds nutritious. We should say, and here, let me, hold on.
00:01:54
Speaker
Yeah, we'll hold off on saying it.
Podcasting Vibes and Episode Milestones
00:01:56
Speaker
We've got it. We've got to tell everybody. Yeah. What do we got to tell on the podcast for talk sauce?
00:02:01
Speaker
Not only that, this is the podcast by TalkSauce. Yeah. And I think today we're really going to get into it with this. Yeah. I kind of like this. Like, you know, we got a little jazz, jazz, jazzy vibe. TalkSauce. TalkSauce. Jazz. Yeah. Podcast. We do that for the whole episode.
00:02:26
Speaker
We should start scatting on the pod. That could go one of two ways. It's also the name of the episode. Yeah, that's true. That's true. People will be very confused about that one.
00:02:46
Speaker
It's pretty wild. We were talking about this a bit in between episodes, but we haven't recorded in three months right back on the horse. It's like riding a bike at this point. Sunday afternoon is a great time to do it too.
00:03:01
Speaker
It is. Sunday's a good day to like do things you need to take care of, but aren't like like like this, you know, like like it's like we're being responsible to our listeners by giving them what they want. But this is like a fun task.
00:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, dude, I'm drinking the sparkling water. I just keep burping. It's out of control. I should probably slow down. I'm kind of chugging it. Leave the burps and the pod. Jack used to mute himself when he burped. I'm glad he's not doing that anymore. He grew up. Yeah, I'll let the people have what they want. Every time you burp, you should throw a little sound effect in. I need to get some more sound effects. Let's actually...
00:03:44
Speaker
Hopefully next week, if our listeners actually suggested us some good sound effects, we'll be good. But either way, I'll try and download like a soundboard online and see if I can upload it to here. I have another request to the listeners too, just to pick some brains here. This is episode 96. We're coming up on episode 100 and obviously 100 is, would you say it's,
00:04:12
Speaker
As far as milestones in recording a podcast go, I say this is our second big milestone, episode 69 and episode 100. I mean, there's an argument that episode 50 is an achievement, but I think it's probably more episode six. It is an achievement, but it's no 69. Yeah. No, I feel like and this is probably our last major milestone until episode 420, which at this
00:04:36
Speaker
pace will take us like 20 years. Her grandchildren will be alive. Yeah, we'll be sending kids to college and shit. Actually, I hope I don't have a kid in two years because that would be the case. But anyways, we need to do something big for episode 100. We have four weeks. We have a couple
00:05:01
Speaker
time warping loopholes that we've utilized in the past, so we'll probably utilize to some degree to commemorate episode 100. But it's never too early to start thinking about what we want to do for this big episode. So if anyone has anything they'd like to see on episode 100 or any ideas,
00:05:23
Speaker
Feel free to let us know. It is a big episode and like we said, this is probably the last. By the time we get to episode 420, someone who listens to this podcast will be dead. So this is huge for us. Yeah. Yeah. It's very important. So let us know what you think. We're going to try and do something big either way. So we'll talk about it. As you guys may or may not have noticed that 69 came after like 72.
00:05:49
Speaker
Yeah, we, uh, as Bo said, we warped time. We may have to do that again. Yeah, and given that we're kind of a little late to starting planning episode 100, it might be an even bigger time job.
Podcast Recording Challenges and Personal Growth
00:06:06
Speaker
We get to like 150 first. Then go back to episode 100. I think, I think those skipping 69 and going back to it was one of our best bits.
00:06:16
Speaker
Uh-huh. And I think I think in this case, it's less of a bit because it was very much a bit that time and it worked and I'm glad we did it. And this time it's less of a bit and more like, oh, we can still commemorate episode one hundred in person. And it just is like a good tool. Whatever. There's like an important episode we want to. Yeah, it's we should we have at our disposal.
00:06:39
Speaker
We should try and create like more milestones as an excuse to like do episodes in person in between now and episode 420 so or if we. The thing is it well you were we were talking I think it was before we started recording or in between or something he was saying he has.
00:06:58
Speaker
like microphones and stuff that he got. So maybe we can if we can have it set up beforehand, it'll be really easy to just do. Whereas like weirdly, it's way harder to record a podcast in person as opposed to doing it like we are now. I actually my roommate and I like had an idea for like a podcast and he's like good at producing. So we did like a trial run of it like months ago. Oh, cool. But
00:07:28
Speaker
but he's good at producing podcasts and stuff and kind of showed me the ropes. So we could do it in person now pretty easily. Like we have all the equipment and stuff. That's awesome. Did he have a sound bar? No, he does not have that. That's the one thing where he fucked up. Okay. We'll figure that out. I feel like it's a requirement that if I had like a little, is it called a sound bar?
00:07:55
Speaker
I like rolling with it being called a sound bar. I don't know if that's correct because there's something else. But anyway, regardless. Cool. So stay tuned. Yeah. And if there's anything that you if all ideas are welcome, there's no such thing about a bad idea, unless if you're going to say socialism.
00:08:19
Speaker
Because communism is the only one. Yeah, socialism is too in between. All or nothing. It's given too much libertarian vibes. You can't be a libertarian or a socialist. You're either an extreme capitalist, an extreme communist, an extreme right, or extreme left. I don't stand by anything in the middle. Commit. You know? Respect that. Yeah. You might as well go all in. Have some conviction, you know what I mean?
00:08:47
Speaker
Yeah. Um, so Bo, check this out. I've got a screwdriver. Oh yeah. What are you going to do with it? I'm not sure. I just like, it was in my hand. I don't know how it got there. That's so sick. I built the like, or assembled, I should say a little table thing and it came with the screwdriver. Look at that.
00:09:06
Speaker
Dude, that's cool, man. What if other tools started popping up in your hands just randomly? Yeah, I have a hammer. Anyway, I was going to ask. So it's Sunday afternoon. What do you have on the agenda for the rest of the day? I have a friend. You had some cereal?
00:09:22
Speaker
i've been getting after the gym dude you i both posted a thirst trap pic i did on a speed i was like damn i did i was like you know what why am i doing this if not if not the thirst trap yeah not the post so i did it more to come i think
00:09:41
Speaker
Especially as I get closer to being able to touch my toes via stretching and yoga, I will do some bendy pegs. A video of you touching your toes. That'd be crazy. Yeah, but I've been getting after the gym and I have a pretty complicated relationship with
00:10:04
Speaker
my relationship to the gym. So now every time I'm at the gym, I am lifting weights and I'm just looking at myself in the mirror and I'm like, Beau, this doesn't solve your problems. This doesn't solve your problems. I have to keep reminding myself of that while I lift weights. You still need therapy. I bet you do feel pretty good though. It makes you feel pretty good.
00:10:32
Speaker
It does help with mental health too, for sure. Physically, I feel like the best I've felt in a while. I haven't been smoking as much anymore either, which has helped. I've been trying to eat better too. I've been trying to cover some bases. Nice, dude. That's like the big three, I should say. You had a day where you golfed and climbed. Have you been climbing a lot?
00:11:02
Speaker
Yeah. Well, interestingly, so my brother, George, shout out. He uses congrats to George in the future, Mrs. George Gardner, by the way. She should walk down the aisle to that song.
00:11:22
Speaker
That was a great use of the sound effect by the way. I tried. I was waiting for it. But anyway, he suggested he uses this thing like like a habit tracker notebook, basically. Oh, and I was like, I want to try that. So I got this thing, right? You can't really see it, but there's like this grid at the bottom here. So you write like what you're doing each week and then you like have your goals and then you like mark off how often you do it.
00:11:51
Speaker
So I've been trying to do that. That actually seems very beneficial. You should get one.
00:11:58
Speaker
You would just like set like, what I have on here is like I have climbing, I have cardio and lifting, two separate, then I meditate, read, and stretch, and then I have like different amounts of like times that I try to do those each week. So then I've been basically just like tracking. This is only my second week I've done it, but it's been pretty cool like, and once you, I feel like you're more accountable to actually do it if you set a goal and then kind of like have it written down.
Books, Movies, and Cinematic Universes
00:12:25
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:12:27
Speaker
Yeah, you should get one. It's pretty it's been pretty cool. Have you been reading a lot more? So kind of. Yeah, well, I'm trying to read a book a month this year. Yeah, we kind of fell off. There's a while where you, me and Kelly were reading. So I.
00:12:45
Speaker
Maybe it was during COVID, I guess, but it was like right during college and right after college, I was reading so much. And then the past couple of years, I just I've only read like five books a year, which is and it was always like at the beginning of the year. So I'm trying to actually like hold myself accountable this year to to read more. So I've read one book and I'm on my second now. What book is it? So the first one I read was a book on Norse mythology. It was just like.
00:13:09
Speaker
Yeah, so that was pretty sweet. And now I'm reading this book called The Wager. You've probably heard of it. Maybe it's like.
00:13:17
Speaker
The same dude who wrote Killers of the Flower Moon. And I think it's like about a shipwreck, right? Yeah, it's sick. You should read it. I've been really enjoying it. Did you read Killers of the Flower Moon? Yeah, I did. It was great. I read that three days. I have a book recommendation for you. One of the best fiction books I've ever read. I read it. It's like 300 pages. I read it in four sittings. I I pick I bought the book.
00:13:45
Speaker
And I brought it with me on a trip to California. I didn't read it on the flight there. I picked it. I started reading it on the flight back, like while we were sitting in the plane waiting to take off. And I read the whole flight. It's like a five hour hour. It's called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It's a book about these
00:14:07
Speaker
video game developers. It's like these three people who like develop a video game in the 90s and become this like powerhouse in video game development and video games. And it's like takes place in the world about video games, but it's more about like the interpersonal play between these three people and the relationships they have to each other and stuff. And it's one of my favorite books I've ever read.
00:14:33
Speaker
I see your, I just followed it on, dude, my sister dunked on it, bro. She didn't like it. I love her review. So yours said, I don't leave reviews on this site, but this may be one of my favorite fiction books I've ever read. And then my sister said easily could have been 100 pages shorter and still accomplish the same things. I thought it was amazing. Dude, I got it. You got to go after her, man. I will, dude. Fucking messed up.
00:15:02
Speaker
I every person I've talked to who's read the book has said the same thing I have obviously except your sister and it's the book I encourage the most people to read yeah okay I just put it on my good read so I
00:15:17
Speaker
Highly recommend I feel like I read more at the end of the year because I realized how little I read throughout the whole year and then but I'm I'm trying to read more as well I'm on my first book of the year right now, but it's pretty dense and I'm like 200 ish pages into it. I'm trying to read like a few short ones to start the year off. Just yeah get a nice start going
00:15:42
Speaker
I'm back on the Kindle game too. I quit carrying around books. The Kindle gang? Undefeated. It's unstoppable. It's a good gang, yeah. I like the Kindle a lot. I used to love my Kindle, and then I read a book that I just had, like a physical book, and I was like, I like this so much better.
00:16:00
Speaker
But that's sick of carrying like big books around and just having to do with it is is reading in bed with the Kindle because I like to turn the lights off and read. Yeah. So you don't have to have the light on. I've been doing that because I've heard you say that before, too, with this book. And I do enjoy reading in bed quite a bit. Yeah. And also like because I don't want to keep Alex up, so I can't like have the light on and then read with, you know,
00:16:27
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. But but I do like it. I'm reading like a World War II book and it's quite good. That's cool. I read. Yeah. I don't know what I was going to say, but we should at some point this year like read the same book at the same time. I'm down Dune Messiah. Genghis Khan. Nah, I do. I do. I do plan on reading Dune Messiah this year. I've already read that. I haven't read it.
00:16:56
Speaker
That's good. Aren't they going to make a movie for it? I think they all want to. I'm guessing the studio is waiting to see how Dune 2 does before they do it, but I think Dune 2 is going to make a lot of money. Yeah, I'm excited for that. By the time this comes out, I'm going next Saturday.
00:17:17
Speaker
Oh yeah, this is the second one. I was like, yeah, I'm going IMAX 70 millimeter. Hell yeah. I need to go get tickets to go see that. Dude, the website, it took me over an hour to get tickets because the website kept crashing.
00:17:32
Speaker
Like people were all over trying to get tickets, but I bet you could get tickets opening weekend still. Maybe. Yeah, I'll look into it. If I have to like wait to go see it in IMAX, then it's fine too. I saw Tenet yesterday. They rewrote Tenet in IMAX. Fucking awesome. I hated that movie. Yeah, I was talking to you just before you went and you said you didn't like it the first time.
00:17:55
Speaker
But and and I saw it yesterday and I still have problems so that it's like profoundly confusing and like Frustrating and people are like you don't try and understand the movie. You just feel it just by And I'm like, I'm like that's a cop-out like this movie It like wants you to try and understand it. It's just immensely confusing but when that movie like
00:18:24
Speaker
is on. It has some of the coolest action set pieces I've ever seen in a movie. And it was an IMAX, so it was just bananas. And I was like, I can't believe I'm watching this. This fucking rules.
00:18:42
Speaker
But I bring that up because they're kind of doing it to promote Dune 2 and they showed like an extended like trailer of Dune 2 before and it looks so cool. I'm so excited because all of the cool shit happens after like in the book after that.
00:19:01
Speaker
the first movie like where it's off kind of there's gonna be crazy stuff I can't fucking wait dude yeah I'm really excited man I was like geeking out I started clapping
00:19:18
Speaker
It looks amazing. That's hilarious. I saw Dune, the first one, they re-released that Nymax like a month ago, so I went with some friends. And that, I was like, it's going to be impossible for Dune 2 to be bad. The first one is this good. There's no way. Yeah. A lot of people didn't like it.
00:19:37
Speaker
Like a lot of people I've talked to. I think a lot of people didn't realize that it's like part one. And yeah, like because nothing like it's all build up, nothing. There's no climax, really. And I think if they did a better job of setting people's expectations of what that was going to be, people would have liked it more. But I think a lot of people kind of felt misled, which is fair. That's a fair point. Yeah.
00:20:01
Speaker
Like, I think if you knew, this is kind of like the beginning and it's just like setting up a bunch of, but even with that, I was like, it's still like very entertaining and really cool and very good. Yeah.
00:20:15
Speaker
Yeah, I'm super excited. It's gonna be awesome. Yeah, I like um, I still haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon. I need to watch it. Dude, it's so good. Yeah, my brother because from the book. Really? Yeah, my brother just he just read the book and then watch the movie right after and it's just the movie it's like I never
00:20:33
Speaker
I need to just watch it in like a few parts, but it's just the fact that it's three and a half hours long is so intimidating. I know, dude, it's so funny that he was getting pissed about movie theaters doing intermissions. Yeah, I'm very pro intermission. You're gonna have to stand up to use the bathroom in a three and a half hour movie.
00:20:52
Speaker
Yeah, and as a proud member of Small Bladder Gang, guess how many times I peed during that three and a half hour movie? Three once. Wow. That's how you know it's a good movie. I've been much better about having to pee during movies. Like yesterday, Tenant's two and a half hours, I peed once. Oppenheimer, I peed once. You think it's because you're not drinking beers?
00:21:15
Speaker
No, because I was still drinking during a lot of these. I think I know what I do if I know I'm going to see a long movie. Recently, I've just been like, you know, like, just don't think about it as much and you're not going to have to go. And that's like help. Just be like, just yeah. Yeah. But like, I'll do this for Dune. I didn't do this for Tenet because I'd seen it and I didn't really like it. So I didn't really care, which I think helped me not have to go that much.
00:21:44
Speaker
But like I won't drink water for like two or three hours before the movie I just will like cut off drinking water I'll do like a liquid IV so I'm getting hydrated in my last cup of water But then I won't drink water for like two or three hours before the movie. That's smart. Yeah dehydration system
00:22:04
Speaker
Yeah, and then just binge drink water. Yeah, because it's dehydrated as fuck. I do feel fucking miserable. Like, I did it there and I was like, I'm parched. Yeah. Yeah, I've been.
00:22:21
Speaker
I need to make a point to drink water more, I think, because sometimes you just feel like shit, and then you're like, oh, I haven't had enough water today, and then you drink water. I'm good now. It's kind of crazy. I'm hydration gang all the way. Hydro homie? Yeah, I'm a hydro homie. The goal is like a gallon a day. That's a lot. Uh-huh.
00:22:43
Speaker
I mean, if I don't drink, I'm also like at home and it's like, it's like very habitual at this point to just like get up and go to the fridge. Yeah. Whatever. Cause you do feel so much better when you're hydrated. It's amazing how much better you feel. Yeah, it's true. I'm trying to hydrate. I'm going to do it for the rest of the day. That's my goal. Hell yeah. What's the goal? How much water a day? Um, Hmm.
00:23:10
Speaker
I don't know. I'm trying to think how much I've had already. Maybe like, I feel like I typically will have like half a gallon of water. That's 64 ounces. That's the recommended amount. Well, they do say that that's kind of an arbitrary number now. I read about it to see if I was like over hydrating. I say a gallon because I almost never hit a gallon, but it's like the goal. So I'm like striving for that. You know, if I fall short, I fall short at like a hundred ounces or whatever. Yeah.
00:23:42
Speaker
Yeah, I probably need to drink more water, to be honest. But, I don't know. LaCroix help. Yeah, I mean, it is water, basically, right? Yeah.
00:23:53
Speaker
Um, so today I'm going to go get my car washed. I'm going to clean up my apartment and I'm going to watch the Mavericks play basketball.
Sports Streaming Innovations and WWE Exploration
00:24:04
Speaker
Have you been getting into basketball? No, the football's over. Yeah. I've actually been watching a lot. I'm trying to, I haven't gotten myself to fully do it yet, but I do want to cause I do love them all.
00:24:15
Speaker
Yeah, I got NBA league pass. So it's like, cause I can just war bucks over here. Drop it. It's impossible to watch the fricking basketball games. If you don't have that though, cause they, they only show on like those weird local things or you have to use like a shitty stream and then it's hard to like get on your TV. You don't say, uh, Mavs games in Austin.
00:24:36
Speaker
I don't have cable, so. Oh, yeah. I have YouTube TV. So how do you do? Wow. Yeah. Did you call him money bags over here? Yeah, that's fair. Did you hear about that sports streaming app that they're about to drop?
00:24:53
Speaker
What is it? I feel like I did, but I can't remember all the channels except CBS and NBC committed to like starting a combined streaming service by fall. So football season where you can watch all the games of all the sports they should. Wow. So it's like a cable bundle. Yeah, essentially. It's going to be expensive. Like they're saying like 35 bucks a month. Really? That's it.
00:25:20
Speaker
Yeah. That's not bad. I guess they get all their customers and they increase the prices probably. Yeah, for sure. I listened to a podcast and they said there's a legal reason why it has to be in that price range, but I can't remember why exactly. Yeah, I guess if there's no other option. Yeah. I think there's something about the contracts with cable where they can't make it too much cheaper than cable to where
00:25:48
Speaker
like it would like kind of monopolize and get to something like that i can't remember. But you know what sport i did watch i like i said last episode i was like bored so i've just been talking about people with about what they do with their time.
00:26:05
Speaker
and i was talking to a buddy of mine and he's like every monday i watch monday night raw wwe it is like you want to watch it i was like yeah sure i have nothing else going on today so i i went and met up with him and watched three hours of wwe wrestling
00:26:25
Speaker
And it was so fun. Yeah, it is pretty fun. So sick. My siblings all went to WrestleMania. WrestleMania is a big one too. Yeah, yeah, it was in Dallas at AT&T Stadium. I bet it was. I wasn't able to go, unfortunately. They said it was really fun, but they just do.
00:26:46
Speaker
And you've like, if you've watched pro wrestling, you've seen it before where just like somebody will like almost win, but then somebody else comes out and then everybody's like, oh, that just goes on for like hours on end. Yeah. A fairly stone cold Steve Austin showed up. That's huge. Yeah. Every once in a while. Like The Rock is back now when wrestling. Oh, yeah. Doing like a run.
00:27:07
Speaker
But they're doing a Monday Night Raw in New York that we might go to like drop in price. But it was so fun. If you just buy into the reality of wrestling, don't be like, oh, it's fake. This is just fun. It's very fun to watch. Yeah. I think it's just that
00:27:29
Speaker
Same thing. And I feel like we've talked about this before, but the most fun thing to do is just be in a room or like a place where everybody's super excited about the same thing. Yes. Like if you're at a concert or you're at a sporting event and everybody's just like, yeah, it's the same thing there. You know, just like people are excited. Yeah, yeah, exactly. There's like a random person next to you. You'll be like hugging for no reason. It's so fun.
00:27:55
Speaker
So I recommend watching wrestling, but you don't have cable. So it's on like TNT or something. But it's I had a great time. Yeah. Cool. Well, I hope you could turn into a pro wrestler. You've got the body for now. Dude, it would be so fun to be like one of those like celebrities, like Bad Bunny or something that they just show up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What would you what would your wrestling persona be?
00:28:25
Speaker
Hmm God that is a tough question I think I'd like to be a cowboy like just fully decked out in cowboy gear and I have like a lasso and then people try and like Get out of the ring and I'll lasso him and then pull a hero or a villain. I Think I'd be a villain
00:28:45
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Being a villain would be fun. You know my favorite wrestling persona I've heard about? I don't know what mine would be. I've definitely thought cowboy. What a good excuse to wear my cowboy hat. My buddy that I was watching wrestling with was telling me about like five or six years ago, there was this guy who won the belt and became like the world champion in WWE.
00:29:10
Speaker
and then he took the belt and said I'm not the world champion I'm the planets champion and was like this very like granola like climate change awareness and he was like a villain like heel in wrestling and he took the gold belt and leather belt
00:29:28
