Speaker: Old school friends from 94. Start a podcast cause they feeling bored. 29 listeners just ain't enough. Gonna go big if they change it up. Shockin' the world, sayin' trim and cock.
Speaker: Original thoughts about all sorts of stuff. Blowing people's minds with the self-disclosure. Suck a fat dick you with a podcast poser. See what I mean? They say what needs to be said. Just need to mark it to hit it big.
Speaker: It's the same old podcast with a new name. Are you ready for this? It's a perfect fit. P.O.S. I'm a P.O.S. I'm P.O.S.
Speaker: I'm a peace.
Speaker: P.O.S. I'm a P.O.S. Matt, you've got an outstanding appointment waiting for you. It's an appointment with your future self.
Speaker: How do you think that's going to go? Huh? How do you think that shit's going to go? How far out are we talking about here? Like tonight?
Speaker: The two shows i have tonight? The next 20 years? Five years? Ten years? and Well, I told you a couple episodes ago that I feel like my life i feel like my life is... i think I'm in a good place. Things are moving forward. So if I stay on that trajectory, that's a word I can never say, ah then i'll be I think I'll be happy.
Speaker: Five years, i look I hope to be where you are, buddy. I don't know if I'm at where I don't know the exact math, but five years, I'm kind of be staring maybe empty nester in the face. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: So, I'm crushing it, bro. If you're trying to get me to say life's going in the shitter, I will not. I will not. No, I'm not. I'm just curious so if you... if you it's It's sort of age-based as I talk to more people in this age.
Speaker: There's like some thinking around regret minimization and like, okay, what actually is going to lead to some satisfaction and and what would I look back on and go, come on, guy.
Speaker: Why were you... dicking around with that, ah all of that stuff that sometimes if you overthink it can be silly. But at this age, as the runway shrinks ahead of you, you you do contemplate that stuff a little bit more.
Speaker: Is what that word, that term you use, ah does that sound like a negative? It sounds like a coming from a negative place. What did you just say? ah Regret minimization.
Speaker: Yeah, that sounds terrible. Is that supposed to be positive? It's probably a positive, but it does sound mechanical for sure. But like if, for example, you are somebody like me who's high duty and you want to take care of everything and make sure you got this or that just in case, then ah whether it's something to with the house or money or whatever, and that can kind of hijack you a little bit and take you away from some some experiences that probably could be much more interesting as you look back on your life.
Speaker: On the flip. But it is ah it is, sorry, but it is it is look like reflective, you're looking in the past. It's not like a positive, I'm to live my life so that don't have any regrets. It's more like, what ah what did I not accomplish in the past? And how can I like at least live with myself? That's what it sounds like.
Speaker: No, it's more of like you you would assume there are trade-offs. So if you are spending time thinking about how to make your... your life good or as good as it can be, which again, I'll say it's like a can backfire. You can shoot yourself in the foot by over pondering. And maybe what you're saying is like, I'm just fucking letting it ride, dude. And it's gonna be fine. It feels good now and it'll feel good then.
Speaker: It's a valid perspective. It's a valid perspective. But i I do think you, as you make those trade-offs, if you look at it from like this, it's common in finance. this regret minimization framework, you're like, oh, well sure, it wouldn't be good if I didn't save any money.
Speaker: I'd probably look back and go, God damn, or sure, it wouldn't be good if I didn't take any risk and have any fun. So you're you're kind of in that space of making trade-offs. Now only psychos like me would assess their life in that way.
Speaker: Most people just you know live day to day with a few goals here and there. yeah but you you're working on that am i right i don't know that i'm working on i just was curious if you've thought about well you were working on having this finance this passion for managing your finance not own you so to speak that's what i meant right oh yeah yeah yeah that's one that's one trade-off that i've had i have to like any dope relapses oh yeah always just like a 24 hour session going to town on um what's happening in the i mean i don't know how it's a weird place because like if if i quit crack i just quit crack and it's probably not around me but like this thing like i mean you kind of you kind of you're into staying informed so if you stay informed you're crossing paths with what's happening in the market and how everything's being affected right Yeah, it's a you're's sort of an impossible task for if you're interested in it to avoid it. So it's I've tried to come to terms that, figure out what what to do with it. But it's it's lower priority.
Speaker: i'm I'm trying to make it much more of a lower priority than I've perceived it should be. And it's because the time lines for all that kind of shit are are so much longer. It's just it gets stupid.
Speaker: So it's more of like, what do I want to do this week? Yeah, I'm guessing not to get into it, but you've had some help of making it a lower priority lately just by this other shit coming up in your life, right? i don't know it's good bad, but like sometimes you don't have time to probably worry about it because of other shit going on, I would think.
Speaker: yeah For which I am not thankful for that trigger. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, sure. When there's chaos. Glasses have full, Lance. Glasses have full. Yeah, dude.
Speaker: Are you worried about where you brought up the topic? where youll I mean, I'm still so I mean, things look good. I feel good. I'm in Cincinnati right now in a comfort inn because I'm working with an old friend and working this comedy club.
Speaker: And that's cool. And, the you know, the business has been hectic the last week, but like, I'm still sort of in flux. I think the the one thing I have now is sort of like, yeah, it's fine. Don't worry about that.
Speaker: So that's, ah you know, that's why I feel like, well, five years, ah everything will probably be all right, because I know that things are just generally all right. ah So like I have a pain, I have a pain close to where the cancer was removed. and And now because that, I'm like, what is that? Is is there something else in there?
Speaker: and now so that's currently on my mind like well maybe i think everything will be fine unless i die in the next five years then things won't be fine yeah yeah yeah yeah no what that generally means you are feeling pretty balanced Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, dude, I was... Ah, shit. I was talking about my... i had We had to drive on the middle of nowhere to fix a table that got dinged, so I had a lot of time to car business partner, and I was just kind of like... While we're on the road, some things I was worried about fell into place, and I was talking to him about... It's like I keep having to fucking remind myself that everything's going to be fine, so just take care of it. Don't stress. And so, like, that is... I've been saying this for episodes now, but that's my... active thing is like fucking calm down deal with it i mean even the shit that you're going through like you're just in the end you're just dealing with it like stressing like any stress about it which is almost impossible to not have it but like it it's not really helping it's like your prag prag what is it pragmatism and you're like thoughtfulness is what's going to get you through it
Speaker: Yeah. And interestingly, to use your favorite phrase from last episode, buddy, interestingly, everybody I know, and you're not in this space, although you were a couple years ago, but has ah some sort of shit show, literal shit show going on in their life.
Speaker: Right. And it's a it's common with this age, which is why I brought up the topic of your future self. What are you gonna look back and go, hmm. Come on guy, that wasn't good.
Speaker: You know, it's it's funny that you say that because i'm I brought a friend up with me to help the kid get into this club. He's 24. It's so funny because when he's my age, hell I'll be 76 or something.
Speaker: But we're just like, whatever, hanging out, doing comedy. Actually, it doesn't even doesn't necessarily feel like there's an age gap. But he's he's in that he's in the fight of like, how do I get my career going? How do I get more shows? how do i What do I do?
Speaker: And it's so like... You know, it's like, do I have any sage wisdom to tell him? And it's like to not not like because honestly, if I was talking to him, it'd be like, how do you not end up like me?
Speaker: Because he's he has this and ambition of getting somewhere with stand up. And I'm in a weird place because I have like people like respect me in stand-up, but I'm also like the the i'm also kind of like the poster child of somebody that never really made it and and maybe could have.
Speaker: So like it's kind of funny. like people are like the I think people like to be like me as far as like having a good act and at least being good enough where people will book me and engage me and and and pay attention to what I'm doing.
Speaker: but ah But no one in their early 20s sets out to be like 50 without any, like and not in it. But the great equalizer for me, though, is I fucking live in Costa Rica. Everyone finds that intriguing.
Speaker: Oh, yeah. Well, in your 30s, you might, though. you might You might realize that this game, because we're all different people, this game is going to take too much from me. And, boy, I really, looking at that Matt guy,
Speaker: that that That actually is kind of cool that he's still able to get out there at his age. Like I remember there was a period there we hired a bass player. He was in his Jack. jack And he's a great guy. And he was just so happy to be out playing music. And obviously, he's proficient. And he was good. yeah yeah He didn't look the part with our band. But he was a ah a joy to be around. I just remember talking to him. And obviously, he was good 20 years older.
Speaker: And ah you know he had just had a lot to say about just expressing or just having expressions of of joy throughout playing as opposed to any other hijacking, ambitious hijacking that happens when you're younger.
Speaker: And I was like, oh yeah. And it took me a couple years, three, four years, I think after I had my first kid to respect that and go, oh, that's actually a very respectable path. you think like Did you listen to him?
Speaker: Like we like, we just like, okay, old man. Come on, bro. You know, you know me. I'm deep. Yeah, no, I did. I did. i don't know that I felt it immediately, but I listened to it conceptually and it's like, okay, that doesn't make sense. Like you're still, you still have kids in college and you're, you have a house and a job and, um,
Speaker: Yeah, you have to go through it to understand what that old man was saying. Yeah, yeah, this but this this playing out for him, and he didn't it's not like he was after a bunch of control. he was obviously super easygoing, but it was just ah a way to enhance his life.
Speaker: And we had a lot of fun together. It was so fun to kind of bust his balls on the mic because he was older and embarrass him in front of his wife and stuff like that. So it was great. Yeah, I mean, I, I, there is a little bit that. I mean, I do, I don't know if I, it's not necessarily like, oh, this is great hanging out with young people, but there is. No, because fucking idiots, right?
Speaker: Yeah, a little bit. Uh, but there's just like that blind ambition. and that But also, like they for whatever reason, no matter what age we're at, like I'm finally at an age where I've realized I don't know shit, and that's because that's like the most positive thing.
Speaker: But at that age, you feel like you know what you know what to do, you know what you need to do, you know you need you have an idea, and everyone's like, this is the way I should do it, and like you're the dumbest you'll ever be, but yet you're the most confident that you feel like you know what's going on.
Speaker: So that's kind of funny to watch or even like younger people giving me advice and shit. or I'm like, okay, bro Yeah, like but uh Yeah, but it's it's interesting to young man's game, but ah I don't know We'll see where I'm at in five years, bro. We'll see where I'm at um I wonder if people listen to me though I am giving out advice more regularly, but it's a little more like hey don't do this like like you you have with your age you can kind of be a little more direct and You know? So you're helping someone, but you might not be like, it's like when you're younger, you might, you might just be talking shit to about someone behind their back. Like, God, that guy sucks.
Speaker: Where now it's just like, Hey dude, you know, the point of comedy is to be funny. There's some advice, you know, it's real. That's so true though. It is true. it's like cutting them down, but also giving wisdom. But were you always a mentor of some sort?
Speaker: Like, uh, and work and, I always feel like I always even ah way back when like i always had like a crew of geeks around me. who yeah Maybe I was one of them, but there's always like a crew of geeks around me.
Speaker: I don't know if I was a mentor, but you do you do you agree with that? That you were? Then I had like always had ah bunch of weird, weird friends. Like, I guess all different types of friends, right?
Speaker: Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. You sort of straddled the social spectrum there. ah And I think that's good. But like, and and you could, you could bring different perspectives to all the various people, but you know work like, did you take young people specifically under your wing?
Speaker: Ah, maybe. Yeah, I mean, i had I was a manager, so I did... Yeah, I think a little bit, but like I just didn't ever got... I don't know if I cared that much to be like, come on, this is how you're going to make it, a medical device or or anything like that. But... That's definitely a place where people could go talk to, discuss, and I would help them if I if i could.
Speaker: No doubt. um But, ah yeah, I don't know. i mean, I'm not saying I'm a mentor now. I just... I've been around a lot. Like, I, like, it, like, I, people talk to me like I'm fucking Mark Twain or something. Like, I'm, it's so, I'm so old to some of these people.
Speaker: And the, and the stories I have are so old that they're like, wow, you knew that guy or something? And I'm like, uh, Yeah. It was like, it doesn't seem that long to me, but to them, they were like, I wasn't born yet.
Speaker: I know. Yeah. What's that feel like? what What does that feel like though? Aside from just the, the interaction, like in your, in your heart, Matt, there's only one thing that matters, dude.
Speaker: You mentioned it last week, even like 30 year old women is still find you attractive. And that's all that I care about. Uh, yeah, no, uh, it's, I mean, i don't know. ha it's because of the way I did it. I have this gap in time in this particular page space and comedy.
Speaker: So, so the most recent stories I have are 15 years old. And then, I mean, I was talking to, it was in a conversation with a couple of comics last night and with Daniel Tosh comedian came up and I was like, basically like, yeah, I hung out. I hung out with Daniel.
Speaker: and and But this was in the Comedy Works Green Room in probably maybe 2004. It was 22 years ago. It's fucking crazy. Because Comedy Works in Denver, the comedy club, has a great green room and everybody hangs out. So when you're a young comic and if you're getting a little love where they're giving you some spots on the weekend, you're sitting in the green room with like...
Speaker: Some real heavy hitters and they they can't escape. They're just sitting there with you. So I'm like, you know, I i sat there like Jim Gaffigan. Like I'm talking to you and fucking, i don't know who, I don't remember all the people, but. Probably Brian Regan.
Speaker: Brian Regan came through Denver all the time. yeah wendy love regan maybe i don't know if i open for what maybe regan oh who's you know who was super famous for a while and like she kind of like was it was a kathy griffin the girl like rips celebrities yeah i was just standing in the hallway her and me once just like the only no one else was around and she was like she only did the first two shows and i was on the third show but no one and she didn't really know what to do like she was leaving there was no one to say goodbye to or anything it was like it was just me and i was just hanging out with her she was like huge at the time and i don't know what happened to her because she she was like a big deal but yeah i just remember that gabriel iglesias who's big now anyways it doesn't matter but those stories are so old it's it's like when did that when did all this happen like what what happened to my life well that 20 years that 20 years dude it's when you're in a reflective state you're like what happened where did it go
Speaker: But yeah if you had to relive it, you'd be like, holy shit, dude, this I need this to end. and This is getting crazy. Whatever piece of your life is hard. It doesn't feel like that when you're living it, but you you look back and go, man.
Speaker: And I'm now, when I'm volunteering a little bit here now, I am with a lot of older people. And some of them are in like nice retirement communities, and some of them don't have as much money, but...
Speaker: I can see now. I can truly see myself in them. How old are we talking? They're 25 years older than us, probably, more. Yeah.
Speaker: But I can really see it, whereas even five years ago, I was like, eh, no, I wasn't even... wasn't on my radar. If you go 25 up or down, you're starting to relate more to the 25 up than 25 down, right?
Speaker: Yeah. The perspectives of just even political and and and life experience and just sort of viewpoints are yeah more aligned. more aligned like it's try to having a conversation with some young person about gosh i wish you guys didn't have these phones bro back in my day like we all showed up to a place together and hung out you know you try having one of those types of conversations and you just come across like a complete well fucking idiot i yeah i some of them some some of the kids what i used the f word for no reason there
Speaker: Yeah, but that's... I think that was... Damn it! That was fine. You know, it's almost like... It's almost like...
Speaker: Pops them almost on you, bro. ah some of the Some of the younger people I talk to in stand-up, it's such a detriment that they they they' they use it and they're on it, but they also look at it as a challenge.
Speaker: Because how do you get people to stop looking at their phones? Even in a fucking live show, it's almost impossible. So it's like, oh yeah get your head up. And there in that and then you have you know every comedy show since I was, for you know back probably back to the 90s, or at least the early 2000s, turn your phones off.
Speaker: But like then you have people probably nervous, you know, because they haven't looked their phone in like 20 minutes. It's such a it's such a pool. It's such a like a magnet in the reaction that like a built in reaction now where people are just like, fuck, wonder what I'm not what I'm what I'm missing. Wonder what I'm missing. So it's hard to like keep them.
Speaker: Right. Wasn't there a period where comedy works specifically? I thought you had to turn them in. Oh, really? Yeah. And there's, I think the, um, the South comedy works.
Speaker: I think you do. You, you turn your phone in and they put it in a little bag or they, they put it in a bag. They put it in something and maybe you carry I can't remember. i was a few months ago. I was there.
Speaker: I like you keep it, but you can't get, you need like a go unlock it or something like that. You have to leave and they unlock it. So you have to leave the venue and then they unlock it. And then you can, yeah, i wonder if that's for noise or for filming. Cause a lot of comics are like, don't film me.
Speaker: It's probably for filming and the lot the risk there of like a Michael Richards type incident where he's blasting some black guy with the N word and his whole career goes down south, which I mean, at this point, yeah doesn' it doesn't even matter.
Speaker: I mean, yeah. If you come see me, you know, you're getting the N word. There's nothing they can film that doesn't take it. That's, that's just his act. That's what he does. if you just look in my eyes, dude, you know that that N word is circling my brain constantly.
Speaker: You just got to look at me. Yep. He's thinking it. There's so many cheap race jokes and comedy that i'm I'm a fan of, but everybody does it. Not that far.
Speaker: not Not that, but i think different I think if they're well-timed, they're funny. Yeah, dude, I don't, I don't know. I think that maybe the key, i don't know. Some people like maybe Tony Robbins or somebody would be like, you got to plot out your long-term short-term long-term goals. you have to have steps along the way to get to the big goal. But I think the key might be don't start analyzing long-term goals. I mean, in a way you might go, well then going wake up and have regrets or worry where'd your life go. But like, i mean, I, I cannot worry about, uh,
Speaker: I don't, I mean, I have, there's no way for me to worry about it or think about it. Yeah. I don't know that you're going to worry about it. I just think it's it, it, it's kind of context setting for the way you're living life now.
Speaker: It's not necessarily like, yeah, I mean, there's like, oh, well, 2031, you don't need money. Are you saving for it? Are you planning? Do you have a plan when your kids leave the house? so you're not lonely. Like, yeah. I, and I'm like, and those are, those are real issues.
Speaker: Yeah. Let's just say maybe this wasn't basal cell cancer and the jaw pain that I have is some other whore. Like, it's like okay, I gotta take care of that to be around for the future. But like, I don't know if I should be like, I'm not the type of guy gonna be like in 10 goals, I wanna have this and are in 10 years, I wanna have this in the bank and this.
Speaker: I don't, I just, it's just not me. And maybe that's a detriment. And maybe that's why I'm sitting in a comfort inn in Cincinnati. Next door is probably like a sweet Marriott where probably the better acts get booked or put up. They definitely do. Let me give you a theory on the jaw. So the jaw hurts a little. Maybe it's because the scar is so massive that you had to change your sleep habits. I was wondering about, well, should there, would there just be general pain around there? Like, like, oh, you had a traumatic thing happen your neck.
Speaker: Yeah. But i don't know. Yeah. Yeah. it could be sleeping wrong. Could be looking at my phone. Could be anything. Come on. Bit alert, bit alert, find something, find something funny.
Speaker: I'm so useless when it, like, it since I've been not been going to doctors for so long, I'm like, I don't even know what I would do. don't even know who to go to. Or what? Like, I don't even know. I can maybe like an ENT guy. Yeah. And for your jaw.
Speaker: There's also like a huge lump, like golf golf ball size lump growing out of my jaw. I didn't mention that. No, I'm just kidding. Just kidding, bro. There's my bit. your face got a little ducked there for a second i was gonna say this guy this fucking stupid yeah it's like it's a or the doctor who took the little thing out you' just like oh just like seems like part of your ear yeah i mean a dentist is probably your best bet on that Yeah, that could be too.
Speaker: I mean, that actually, that's a good point. And that's someone that we know and our listeners know that I haven't seen in a while. Um, yeah, I'm not, well I don't know. I like, I'm, I, I, it's like I'm listening to you and other people that are there just like, yeah, getting old shit happens. And then I'm like all right, maybe shit's shit starting to happen.
Speaker: you know so but i don't know like right now like if i'm doing this i'm like kind of rubbing i don't know what you call this part like the back of my jaw below my ear this side nothing i can feel like a little pain when i do that over here not here okay but that's right by the scar dude and here's what i would suggest stop touching it stop fucking touching it Just notice the pain, take a deep breath and, and give it a couple of weeks or a week. I'm surprised you're, you're usually like, get that checked out idiot.
Speaker: You're just saying relax. No, I say, I'd say I'd stop touching it because it you can touch any part portion of your body. And if you do it enough, it's going to develop so so some sort of and inflammation.
Speaker: Just don't touch that shit, bro. You're right. Good job, Lance. I know what's up, dog. I know what's up. Yeah. I think I'm okay, but you just, I mean, I have the report. i don't know if I sent you the message. Like it says everything that we talked about. Basil cell carcinoma.
Speaker: Like the biopsy came back as that. Yeah. And so... i You know, i i who was it? I think it was at the comedy club. it was a lady who like takes pictures of comics. And i worked I worked in St. Louis last weekend with this guy. It's like a local.
Speaker: He's like Willie B. Hong. Remember him? Willie From KBPI, a radio station in Denver, popular. he still around? and He might be. He changed his name to Willie B. There was a period. I think wokeness probably started earlier than we we thought. like He could run with... but Willie B. For readers. 90s and then somehow like late 90s maybe I think he had to go to Willie b Somebody got offended. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, well this guy, he's not, it's like a morning radio show in St. Louis and I guess it does really well still even though it's radio and so he he packed the fucking club. And so that was cool. I worked with him and got to know him. But in a couple of his name, his name is Rafe Williams.
Speaker: I was hosting and I fucked up if I was bringing him on stage like Pele because my brain just you know I just would be like what's his name Rafe Williams? Rafe Wilson?
Speaker: I'm more like into my own thing doing comedy so like ah hosting sometimes I get fucked up and there's mo like we had ah another friend of ours did a guest spot then i then the but the feature act is this funny dude Michael Anthony who was asking me to do it a bit of ah a special intro for him because he's trying to tape it to put his special together.
Speaker: Just two things is enough to fucking completely throw me off where I can't remember the the headliner's last name. So I'm like, welcome to stage, Rafe. And then he walks and he goes, forgot my last name, huh?
Speaker: Like under his breath. And then he goes out and everyone's screaming and shit. i was like, sorry, dude. but And then he then he did like five minutes making fun of me about like he's fucking Shakira or so or something like that.
Speaker: ah But anyways, that's a completely useless fact for what I was telling you. So that this girl, this guy, anyways, this guy is like doing pretty well standup and had a photographer there to take pictures and record shit. And I was talking to her like off this, like back in a place where you can watch the show, but not in the showroom.
Speaker: And she's like, and i I, I don't know how it came up, but i was like, yeah, i haven't been doing shit lately because I had, I had some cancer removed on my neck. And she goes, oh man, I, my friend just died. Like, and that's how it started with him. He had like, and I'm like, Jesus Christ. And then, then I'm like, oh, my jaw hurts. Oh fuck.
Speaker: Yeah, she was like, I mean, she laughed. She's like, well, I'm sorry. i and You probably didn't want to hear that, but i'm still like I'm still grieving because he was like one of my best friends and he just died like a few days ago. And it was like from throat, you know, like some sort of throat or limb lymph node, whatever, thyroid cancer or something like that. Yeah, your lymphs are under here for yeah near your job. But um I'm just like, I pretend you don't know anything. so ah But those people, yeah, that there those get a lot of cancer. But those I think if you get it early, they're fine. But if not, it it immediately fuck you up.
Speaker: right So you got some psychosomatizing, psychosomatic shit going on at at the moment. Or pain. Or leg legit cancer pain. But maybe ah maybe you shouldn't talk about the cancer anymore so you don't get horrible stories.
Speaker: Well, I have, yeah, I think it's fine now. i don't know if you can see it, but I did have this giant fucking wound on my neck where if I just feel like everyone's like, the fuck happened there, you know?
Speaker: So I don't know how it came up. ah it did it It fit into the conversation. I wasn't just fishing for sympathy or anything. was like, oh, you didn't like my set? well ah Well, would it change your mind if you knew that I just had cancer removed a week ago? Now is it funny?
Speaker: mm-hmm yeah uh that's great I don't know well but yeah that was everybody else is like oh shit I get stuff removed all the time or my dad's had 50 things burned off and he's 82 but this one was like oh yeah my my friend had cancer right around there and died I'm like oh shit god yeah a little rough but uh yeah I mean it's not like i'm worried about that but when you talk about I think we at our age too when you talk about the next five to ten years where you want to be the the one thing is like people that People that age gracefully and so and stay in shape seem to have a good have a great time in their 60s if their health is there and financially they're good. If things start to fuck you up now, it it could be tough. So outside all the other crap going on in your life, I'm like, I gotta take care of my- I want to i mean, I never stop, so to speak, but I'm like um'm i'm kind of conscious now. like I should-
Speaker: It's my last chance to get jacked again. Try to get ripped, be in super good shape, and then and then see if I can ride that into the next 10 years. Okay, I wouldn't. Turn into a complete meathead.
Speaker: Yeah, don't go that far, maybe. What are you talking about? You're fucking running sprints like a dumbass? Like, you're doing I haven't run sprints in a while, but... In a month? That's actually something that my future appointment with my future self would be like, you know... Calm down?
Speaker: Yeah, you you sort of overworked your body, and now you're fucked up. Now your elbows, like, are... just not working well and you've got arthritis in your thumbs because you're trying to do curls every ah every day um no no garles yeah but do you uh i don't i don't this is gonna sound really dumb like that pain like when i start running a lot i feel so good it's so weird but i i ran the other day for 35 minutes like the first day after they they said like don't do any exercise and i just felt amazing
Speaker: afterwards i was fat and out of shape i'm i'm like way fat right now i don't know if you can see it but like the like oh yeah i can see it no super fat and but i felt great but then like of course it comes with some soreness and shit and i'm like i kind of like it like it wasn't sore it was like old man you probably shouldn't be running like weird places ankles knees but i it's like it feels good hobbling around knowing that you did something for some reason yeah Yeah, I think that's that's healthy. It's just that if you have that sore feeling and you're already in shape and you have it every day, like me. The body's talking. It's just saying, hey, how about a rest day, dickweed? But like mentally right now, I can't fuck with the rest day.
Speaker: Like I was before I go to bed, dude, I'll sometimes like. I'll just pace around the house in a circle with listening to something. And and sometimes I'll look up and like 50 fucking minutes have gone by. There's another dumb, useless injection of fucking, but 50 minutes will go by. And I will, I will, I will say to myself, wow, you, I mean, what was that? Three and a half miles inside your house.
Speaker: I mean, yeah, ah but so it's just, I don't, I don't think I have a choice right now. I just have to feel, have to feel pretty tired, but I, even in normal times I like I like kind of overdo it so but is there I I mean not is it low impact like I mean the pacing around is not harmful it's it's probably like what am I doing you look like a a lunatic but like like biking like can you roll in that some of the sprints and the and the curls into some shit that's not quite as joint damaging like No, I don't think I do a lot of joint stuff. But like if so, if I did kettlebells and so like in the morning and you're doing these swings that just really, for whatever reason, they like target your calves, really hit them because you're balancing and you're just like swing swing, swing, swing, swing. And then you go ride the bike to do any number of things that do on the bike every day.
Speaker: and then maybe even okay go for a short walk with my wife and then i'm still needing to like pace around the house and you add all that up my calves are just like bro what are you fucking doing that's a legit time to insert fuck by the way but yeah what are you doing what is what's is is your wife ever like hey dude she's like that's lance hey you all right but it's common knowledge that i have to move a lot yeah So it's sort of like, man, there he goes.
Speaker: There he goes. ah Yeah. But we're all dysfunctional. I did too. But i i get i' been i mean I get pretty tired lately. It's just like a saw lot going on, which is a dumb thing to say because everyone has a lot thing going on. But like last night,
Speaker: I was like just yawning. We went we did the show and then we went to a local open mic to fuck around, hang out with some local comics and I'm just sitting there at the bar like 11 o'clock Eastern Time. I can barely get a sentence out. I'm just sitting there yawning.
Speaker: Everyone's having a ball, drinking, smoking weed, talking about comics they work with and and I'm just like, yeah. just fucking like and all was alls it was because i drove for let's say i drove for for six hours yesterday and i woke up and went to the shop and did some work but it wasn't like crazy it's not like i'm a a roofer or something like i was doing real work but just driving for a long time the stress of doing a show and i was like tired me out
Speaker: But I am kind of like you, though. i can't I don't really sit still that well. That's why surfing is good, because it's so the whole thing is such a fucking grind. Like driving. Surfing.
Speaker: Goddamn surfing. The cancer it creates takes away energy from um your body. so if I'd put sunblock on, but then i'd I'd be pacing around at night like you are. Because this is sucking energy from me.
Speaker: Yeah, it's true. It's, it's, uh, I don't know. But then doesn't that lead you back to like, maybe I should do like do something like work or yeah. Anything that like,
Speaker: Yeah, I guess well' we'll start with work, but it could be anything. like Does it ever go, oh, the real solution is to put myself back in the fucking grind that tires people out. No, not that. But I definitely i enjoy... i assume you'd say no. but Yeah, no, I enjoy the physical volunteering. Like yesterday, had to like...
Speaker: ah the kitchen freezer had to pull everything out and reorganize it because nobody knew what the hell was in there. So you can't really serve food to people if you don't know what the fuck's in there. So that was like, that seems like right up your alley.
Speaker: That was right up my alley. And like, it hurt my back and all, but it was worth it. And now they're running, running like a fucking on point on time. Everyone knows what's in there. Homeless people are getting fat. Okay.
Speaker: it's It's interesting in that the way that they get food, it's random drop-offs, like certain restaurants and people in the community know. um i don't know what other types of establishments, mostly restaurants, I think, and they just bring food and then, you know, depending on what it is, it goes in the freezer or the walk-in cooler and it's truly random, like sausage jambalaya and then steak fajitas and you sort of have to figure out how you mix all that together to come up with something logical.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. So, yeah, I didn't, I didn't know that. but I thought there was, you know, maybe a budget for some structured food buying, but. And they all, and probably like one day they might get too much shit and the other day the rest, so you got to freeze it and try to make it work, make it last. Yeah. i'm like No, yeah. It's always like a creative process.
Speaker: Yeah. So there was too many her hamburgers. for Sunday. And I, so I had to go out there and I grilled probably 150 hamburgers and they have this tiny ass fucking spatula.
Speaker: And I got that grill and you know, burgers, like it's constant flame. And I'm just like, Oh just as the the fit The fat's just creating a bonfire. Yeah. And my hands just like,
Speaker: um In your head, just thinking you're the best person ever. Yeah, just like i self-actualized right here, flipping burgers, helping people.
Speaker: But no, I do enjoy that stuff. And I think I want to add a day, like maybe a Tuesday, but it'll have to be a different place. So I do like the way that makes me feel. Still have an analytical gap.
Speaker: I don't know how to to exploit that. What's that mean? I still have a need for ah like ah sort of engagement yeah deeper level analysis and problem solving that I might've gotten at work. Well, no, i I did at times, but it's not an itch I need to scratch every week, but it it comes. And when it comes, if i if I go to things that are not productive, like back to the stock portfolio or something,
Speaker: it's It's a real hindrance. It's really bad for me. So if I can find something, an alternative it to that, you know, you want to send some Wildwood numbers and shit.
Speaker: No, I need to get... I need to fucking get the... need to get you in on the the roots down, dude. need to get you in on that. But... I got i mean, I'm such a puss, dude. i got I do have a little website. I got the Venmo set up. I got PayPal set up. So I can...
Speaker: I do have an Instagram and a Facebook account, so I can start to do stuff with it. I just need to do it. I mean, like, for example, I did do this. The headliner I'm talking about was like, hey, I like to pay my openers a little bit, so send me your Venmo. And I was like, i dude, I have a business. ah I'll be all right. You don't need to pay me. Keep your money. And then he's like, dude, don't argue with me. Just fucking, I had a really good weekend because he was like on a door deal or something. So let me give you a couple bucks. And I was like, you don't, don't give me money, but if you want, I do have this nonprofit.
Speaker: So I'll send you that vi Venmo so I can use it now like that. But if I really want to like do like really expand it and make some real money for this, the rainforest, I should just put it in your hands and let you run.
Speaker: Then, then you'll have all the stress that you need. Yeah. I'm such a great networker. That's like my, my strength. Hit the homeless people up where they're coming through the line. and be like, you're never too poor to give.
