Introductions and Podcast Humor
00:00:11
Speaker
How are we doing, everybody? Back with our other podcasts. I got Dylan and Nick here. Say what's good. What's good? What's the name of the podcast, Jim? Ooh. Today's podcast is going to be brought to you by the CDC because they have no idea what they're doing. That's why we brought Jimmy on to kind of clue a sin as to what's actually going on. This just in, they have no idea. We got Joe Rogan joining later.
00:00:40
Speaker
We got Nick here to mediate, kind of fact check everything. You know, just two cents. How's life been fellows? Not bad down here in Florida. Are you sure? Oh yeah. What's the, what's the weather been?
00:00:58
Speaker
Really really really cold. It's been like 50 51 Really cold 51 my house is 60 Oh Speaking of I have to keep
Weather Woes and Energy Struggles
00:01:13
Speaker
my house 60. I mean not to get too far into it. Um, but my AC or my heat is Pretty awful. Oh you weren't here last night Jim. I was talking to Nick. I got my Purdue energy had to email me and be like, hey I
00:01:28
Speaker
Heads up you got a bill coming We're halfway through the month. It's the 19th. They're like, hey, you know, it's bad when they contact you Yeah, it wasn't even the bill. It was a heads up about the bill that's gonna come because we're halfway through the month. They're like, hey, so you're Like past a month usage and we're only halfway through the month They're like your bills look you're looking at about a three hundred and twenty dollar energy bill for this month. Mm-hmm
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah, your thermostat's begging for mercy when you keep it at 60. No, it's the opposite.
00:02:02
Speaker
It's 30 degrees outside. I mean, sometimes it's 40, which is nice. I dropped the heat to help because it's just running all the time. It's running on like the oxy. So there's something about the heater is the moral of the story. But dude, imagine paying $300 a month for heat, which is what I'm paying currently. And it's only getting colder. I don't even pay $300 a month for protein supplements.
00:02:28
Speaker
This is the first like a weekend that it's been below like 40 degrees. It's only getting colder. I'm sure next week it'll be like 80, but still. Thanks Obama. Yeah. There was a 90% chance for snow to happen in where I'm at. And in two days it dropped down to 0% and just rain.
00:02:51
Speaker
I was like wow that was a big old drop it was the weather around here i mean it's just bipolar your way east it's a little bit more it's crazy i thought that there's gonna be some there's projected to be snow this friday and saturday and i would normally be hopeful for it and it's wednesday right now and still says wednesday might be percent chance.
00:03:15
Speaker
It was super icy over the weekend. I almost busted myself. Not where I'm at. It was completely just dry. Well, not dry. It was actually just rainy. That's all it was, is it was rainy and cold. I was like, what the heck is this? I walked Diego at some point in the middle of the night and it was just raining ice. It was like hail.
00:03:40
Speaker
So it was I saw it coming down and then the my back porch iced over. So like I would step out on my back porch and I would go for an ice skate. It was fun. But yeah, that's how hell works. Like that kind of just breaks all of science. A little bit like it was hailing in Florida, like I don't know, some time over. Couple of months ago, I can't even put my finger on it, but
00:04:06
Speaker
It wasn't cold by any means. It might have been in the upper 60s. And here we are having icefall from the sky. Well, that's part of your weather. And I was like, excuse me, what happens if my car is pelted with ice? Like, do insurance companies even cover that? I know some don't. It's like when, I mean, hurricane season's July, you're getting hit with ice on your house.
00:04:29
Speaker
It's, I mean, it's just in common sense. It's weird, but it makes sense science wise. I don't know the science, but it makes sense. I mean, we get tornadoes and stuff here. We don't get as much hurricanes. And I'm not going to get too far into it, but it says clouds.
00:04:47
Speaker
Really cold and really, really cold in the sky. It's hot over there, so the ice isolates it. It's supposed to snow here Friday.
00:05:07
Speaker
Like Friday, Friday night, we'll see what Saturday looks like. Oh, I saw some pictures. I saw some pictures of like Ohio and. Oh, yeah, just the Midwest kind of end. The snow is like it's got to be like three, four feet. Like it's insane. Yeah, it's new. It's node.
00:05:27
Speaker
It's kind of snowy. It snowed like three feet almost in the mountains area. I mean, that's more or less expected. But yeah, it was more just ice here, which is really frustrating because you don't get the enjoyment of anything other than slipping and not being able to drive. And everything was closed.
00:05:48
Speaker
Kind of everything was on a late delay because it was like 40 in the afternoon, which is funny Yeah, good time actually had to handle a few customers during that as well because I mean of course it was perfectly fine here so everybody went to work but The five of us that were there we were getting calls because we were talking about it that Customers were calling because power was down and they were in North Carolina.
Sports Talk and Betting Insights
00:06:10
Speaker
Like why is my internet out? I'm like, I'm in sales. I don't know. I
00:06:14
Speaker
I don't know why. Now, if you want to add something onto that to make this possibly lower for you, I got you back. But if you're just trying to turn it back on, I don't know what else I can do for you. Fair enough.
00:06:29
Speaker
Well, we have the right department. Do you have anything to bring to the group, Jim? I mean, nothing specific. I'm just out of curiosity. Yeah, my career is pretty much over. What is going on in all sports across the board? Sports has been rough. It's been so inconsistent or I'm just awful.
00:06:50
Speaker
I saw like who who played the Sabres last night. They were minus 200 to beat the Sabres. Was it the Devils? I forget who it was. Somebody played the Sabres and the Sabres are not good. And they were minus 200 and they lost three to one. We're talking about yesterday. Yeah, there was one three to one. Yes, I'm saying.
00:07:14
Speaker
Sabres are awful. Oh, yes, correct. Who would they play? The Senators. Even Senators. The Senators were like minus 200 or minus 200 and something and they lost three to one. It's just it's it's impossible to keep up with. It's pretty bad. Aki is just so inconsistent. My favorite in the best sport in the world, but I just I can't do it. I can't even I can't win anything more than like. How can I say a two or three game parlay, but I can't even make one bet and win, so.
00:07:43
Speaker
As far as the NFL goes, the overs hunters always kill me. NFL is a little bit more consistent because it's like, I don't know, it's longer games. I, I have less of trouble with predicting how the NFL games are going to go depending on the week. There's definitely weeks where it happens, but like so far through the playoffs, it's been pretty solid. I, I knew, I think I like wrote down my picks. I picked every game and it came through. So, I mean, so far, so good grand rolling through week one.
00:08:14
Speaker
We'll see what week two of the playoffs looks like, but I had 49ers winning. Obviously, the way with the Chiefs, the Chiefs were minus 700. That was pretty solid. The Buccaneers obviously were going to win. Bills were pretty. Bills had a night. They played like they were pissed off at the world. They played with a chip on their shoulder. Yeah.
00:08:40
Speaker
Like they were previously told they can't get to the cookie jar. It was a game about it because like I was a little bit skeptical about what was going to happen because Patriots have been so hot.
00:08:53
Speaker
They've been so, they've been on a streak. Mack Jones was killing it. Belichick, he just, I mean, playoffs, you can count on Belichick and they just, they couldn't put it together, which was a little bit disappointing. Like I wanted it to be a better game. I knew the bills would win in my heart and in my mind and in my soul, but I didn't expect it to be a blowout like that, at least in the playoffs. So you expect a little bit more obviously bills were going to come through with that.
00:09:18
Speaker
Jets did not win the you know, then the playoffs are so good. They were knocked out week one of the playoffs. They definitely made it. Don't question me about that. They played against themselves in the fantasy bowl, but. Sick bowl. I probably lost that bet, too.
00:09:37
Speaker
Nick, how are you doing with your NFL picks? Uh, so all I have to say is and to note and trade of all that camaraderie and friendship that you just witnessed there. Um, I traded that in for not betting and not losing any money. I'm pretty safe in the, I don't care about the sports. I've been, I feel like I've been gifted with the, uh,
00:10:02
Speaker
with the, the money saving ableness to not have to watch sports, you know, but although I do hate the fact that, you know, 50% of your guys's conversation is about that. And I can't ever go sports. Yeah. I like, I like getting the ball, you know, I'm the guy, the guy that, you know, play the sports. I don't like to watch it. If there's a pickup game, if there's anybody playing sports, I wish more people would just randomly play some sports. I could play sports.
00:10:33
Speaker
But I mean, more people would rather watch it. So, you know, it's just not my cup of tea. I don't like watching. But luckily sport betting is still illegal. But I haven't lost mine in Florida. Well, isn't it? It's like half legal. It's like half legal. I'm trying to. There there's there's tribal lands. You can go to those areas and North Carolina does have quite a few, actually.
00:11:00
Speaker
doesn't North Carolina have online sports betting? No. Yeah, with with fantasy and stuff. Oh, I think North Carolina does allow daily fantasy. But yeah, okay. So but it's not online sports betting. That's no. Yeah, which I don't really understand the line. Neither. Neither do I. You can do I think you can do like
00:11:20
Speaker
But you can do paid fantasy leagues. You can do daily fantasy sports. I think it's just not as intricate when you bet with your friends amongst fantasy because you just throw one number in there. But you can also do like, I think you can do like FanDuel daily, like you can do FanDuel, North Carolina, but like just daily fantasy. It's really it's a really weird, blurry line. I guess the daily falls into the gray area of fantasies. They're like, it's probably fine.
00:11:48
Speaker
I can't help but think North Carolina's looking out for its people because they just don't want to have them spiral into a part-way loss after loss after loss after loss. That's always the argument against it is it just encourages gambling addiction and whatnot, which I can't disagree with. But yeah, it's really weird. It's like only legal in some forms, but not straight out betting.
00:12:10
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I don't know how my coworkers do it, but there seems to be a lot of money lost in that area from what I hear. Oh, you can do it in tons of ways, but not any that are legal in the state. Interesting. Yeah. I have no idea again. It's
Food Safety and Culinary Tips
00:12:26
Speaker
a good thing. I don't download to it. Yeah. I mean, like anything, it's super easy to do. Um, but yeah, it's good to.
00:12:36
Speaker
to have you back. Jimmy hasn't been on in a while. Very long time. I've been very busy with a lot of things. Yeah. Last time we were fortunate things. I think Jacob went after he went to EDC. Whoa. Yes, it was like two years ago. It was two years ago. Yeah. It's been a while. I'll be back. Yeah, Alan's missing today, which is a little bit sad, but
00:13:00
Speaker
It's okay. We'll have him back next week. We got Jimmy to back him up. Second string. So there's I mean, there's a couple of things I wanted to bring to the group, but I want to open up the floor.
00:13:13
Speaker
There's anything that you guys want to bring to the group as far as questions or frustrations or anything going to bring up besides the CDC because I was just going to say the CDC. Jim is going on mute. He's been unplugged. Oh, no. I was joking that I unplugged you.
00:13:37
Speaker
Oh, I don't actually know if my mouse was over the mic or nobody. So I was like, what's happening? That's funny. Um, so anything you guys feel like bringing up. It's up at the CDC. I mean, I can't really. What's in the boiling water? Oh yeah. Uh, to wash your meat or to now wash your meat. Sure. That is the question.
00:14:06
Speaker
We know that's been an ongoing factor in this group discussion. Um, I guess, I mean, I guess it's worth bringing up just out of, you know, I keep it short, sweet and simple. Yeah. Just a quick summary is I've recently learned that it's not necessary to wash or meet. So, you know, metaphorically and physically, you don't have to.
00:14:35
Speaker
You don't have to do that. Recent reports from the CDC say I'm out. I've actually heard about people washing with soap and that I'm 110% against. Do not do that. No, that's just that's not no.
00:14:54
Speaker
If you hear about that, that's a separate issue. Then should you clean your chicken? I feel like that's definitely taken to an extreme. Yeah. I just wanted to get that out there. Just in case if anybody actually does do that, please don't. Well, you can wash your fruits and stuff. That doesn't mean you soap. That's a bad idea for anything you're rinsing food wise. Don't do not use soap. I got soap in my mouth when I was younger. He said a lot of cuss words, I'm sure.
00:15:23
Speaker
and he deserved it. But yeah, do not wash your chicken. Nobody bad. It's something that I thought was a thing. I mean, something I always knew was a thing and thought it was required, but you do not have to do that. You just bake it and it bakes all the bad stuffs out. Makes sense. But how did you do it again? Because I found it interesting though. You clean it with vinegar.
00:15:48
Speaker
No, you clean it with heat. Yeah. Well, I'm just also curious because I like to understand the other side as well. But like, what is it about cleaning it with vinegar? Is it just vinegar? Do you mix it with anything or? Well, because vinegar you can use for cooking and vinegar you can use for cleaning. So it's, I don't know. It was just.
00:16:08
Speaker
It was what you're supposed to use. I don't know. I was just curious. I didn't know if like you like, you know, I had it sit in there, like in a thing of it, or if you just like port it on the chicken or both. You port over the chicken, you kind of mess with it and.
00:16:24
Speaker
Get all the slimy whatever off of it. If there's any I don't know you just give it a general wash I was just curious because like I mean I've never I haven't heard about it until you said something like that I'm like, yeah, I've heard about washing it like rinsing it off in the water of which I mean I get to you know, that doesn't hurt. Yeah, but I've just heard those extremes and then you said something about vinegar and I was like I've never even heard that part So that was actually very interesting. I don't know if that was a widespread thing or what that is
00:16:54
Speaker
I so I was. It was it's not like you just sit there and marinate it. Yeah, that's what I know, like, well, the thing is, in some in certain ways, like, say, when you make kimchi and stuff, you take like your vinegar and stuff and you actually have it. Like, based in there for a few days, and then that makes it a certain type of site enough that was like.
00:17:18
Speaker
You know this is straight up cleaning like you just rinse it in vinegar give it a good But yeah, so if learned you're not supposed to do that I mean not not supposed to you just there's no need for that. Okay. It's fine. There's definitely interesting. Yeah Told my wife obviously she was like
00:17:36
Speaker
No, thank you. Yeah, that's that's why because I feel like that might be something that many people might have because you learn it from your mom. Yeah. Right. Yeah. A little bit of a tradition culture. And I've never heard about that. So it's just kind of interesting. Also, I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it type deal was. Yeah. I mean, so what works for both of these was it makes me feel safer. So.
00:18:04
Speaker
Okay, fair enough. Just go ahead and watch it. Well, the thing is one cast minute. Yeah, it's I mean, it's not ideal. It adds a bunch of time. Yeah, so a side issue. So.
00:18:20
Speaker
A good life question.
Adulthood and Life Risks
00:18:22
Speaker
Okay. You probably don't know the answer to this one. No, I know you're not going to know the answer to this one. No, it's completely perspective based. Uh, so Nick, you're out. Oh, okay. I'm going to turn my mic off. No, it's perspective based. So at what age are you fully an adult? Oops. Like at what age would be like, yeah, I'm an adult. What, like, would you say that now?
00:18:52
Speaker
Um, I don't classify myself as an adult by any means financially, mentally, uh, simply physically. Yeah. And I'm 26 going on 27. And the way I would view it as each person has their own, like you can say it how much you want to adult, but you'll know when you're an adult, when you know, I feel like that's something that's kind of internal. Like you're like, okay, I'm ready now for this, that, and the other.
00:19:19
Speaker
And some people don't get that feeling until they have a kid, some people don't have that feeling until they get their big first job, like their real job, some people don't feel that until they move out of the house. So, Jimmy, you might know this. When does your age, when does your brains kind of stop developing? Scientific evidence, I actually just heard about this a couple days ago, is 26, that's what they say, 25, 26, but that's when your brain's fully developed.
00:19:50
Speaker
I would definitely say around 25, 26, yeah. Yeah. Because I'm not saying by any means do I know anything and everything, but I know a lot more now than I did when I was 21, when I did think I was an adult and I was still blacking out in college. I thought I had the world by its cojones. You're still blacking out in college.
00:20:17
Speaker
But that's what I'm saying. I'm more wise now, but I guess you can apply that five years from now when I'm 31. I'm going to be saying the same thing. Oh, I thought I was an adult at 26. No, I don't. It's so weird because I agree. You're always looking back. I was so stupid. I do believe that you have this understanding of life. That life's not fair and you don't always get what you want and you have to do this and you have to do that and you have to make a living.
00:20:46
Speaker
Realizing of the responsibilities that you have to do, I think, is a huge, huge step in to saying, hey, I'm an adult. Yes, so realizing all that, but then I think prioritizing it. Yes, prioritizing it and acting on it is a whole separate fashion. Right. So that's what I'm saying. That's the other step. So I think those are the two steps, essentially, because you can realize it. And I think a lot of people realize it when you graduate college.
00:21:11
Speaker
If you're, you know, 22, 23, 24, and you graduate college or whatever, you realize all of it. And then I think it's like when you turn, you know, 20, 25, 26, 27, it's like, okay, I'm almost 30. I have to start prioritizing all of this. At least that's kind of where I'm at in my life. As much as I love to, you know, go out, party, you know, yada, yada, yada. It's like I'm almost 30. You're only 26.
00:21:40
Speaker
And a half. Yeah. So at what point are you like? And because, you know, there's always a this question for both of you. So there's always a general mindset of your younger, you can take risks, you can, you know, you have the availability of financial.
00:21:59
Speaker
uh, you know, flexibility, that kind of stuff to take risks in, you know, business and life in general. So at what point do you think you cross that line of, okay, now I need to kind of chill out, stop taking so many risks. Is it, is it a like.
00:22:17
Speaker
a point of some, like an event, like something happens, like either you get married or you have a kid, or is it just strictly like a time in your life where you're like, okay, no, I'm like 30. I should probably stop doing that. Is it, or can you be 35 and still taking risks like you're 20 years old?
00:22:36
Speaker
So, I mean, do you want to go first on this when you can? I'm just gonna say one quick thing and I'll hand it over to you. But I don't think it's a black and white. I don't think it's an age. I don't think it's a certain event. I think it's a huge grayscale. I think you can take so much risk if you have, you know, the lower the bills that you have. And obviously, you don't have any kids, you know, even if you don't have a significant other
00:23:01
Speaker
If you don't have any of that, obviously, and you're still 32, 33 years old, by all means. Yeah, fair enough. Go ahead, Nick. I definitely agree with Jimmy, but I believe it's a misconstrued thing that you have a certain time limit that you can do certain things and take risks and stuff.
00:23:25
Speaker
Try to better your life in certain ways or try to do something new. I feel like people need to understand that you have one life. And as of right now, you can do one thing, you can do many things or you can do nothing with it.
00:23:41
Speaker
Whatever you feel like you're, wouldn't make you happy. I feel like you should go for it. And if it means like, Hey, I want to try to make something. I want to try to do coding or something. Well, you might be far deep into your career already. And you might say, well, I'm so far here. I don't feel like I need to go and start fresh, even though I'm unhappy doing what I'm doing right now.
00:24:07
Speaker
Right. And that would, that would make somebody deter themselves from doing something new where maybe you try something new, but you use the logic that you already have to create something a hybrid that nobody's thought of, which may be better in turns, better years, like makes your life better.
00:24:24
Speaker
Or, you know, down the road makes you happier. And I feel like you two are good. So obviously we're I think we're a good mix of different perspective. So different ends of the spectrum. So I settled very early. Jimmy still hasn't settled. Nick never never settle. Nick kind of settled, but it's kind of going back. Not backwards, but like is unsettling. Do you?
00:24:51
Speaker
Nick, do you specifically? Yeah. So you took the risk. How old were you when you moved out where you're at? I didn't I didn't even get an ID or any sort of like thing until I was 22. That's a separate issue. And then. Well, yeah. And I think three months after I got my ID, I moved out into my friend's basement.
00:25:17
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I'm saying specifically where you're at. Yeah. Do you regret the risk you took moving out there?
00:25:24
Speaker
No, because I had great potential and there was a lot of good things happening at the time that if they played out a different way, I feel like a lot of things would have been different. I'd be, you know, in a very different spot. But the risks that I took, they just didn't end up the way that I thought that they would. So, you know, but the journey that I've had so far, I've enjoyed it.
00:25:51
Speaker
It's been a life experience and it's been something that I could look back on and be like, wow. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. Do you regret like because of like so people are so focused on your age. Do you worry that you like you were too old or are you comfortable with like, I don't know, just looking back, do you wish you did it younger or are you comfortable with where you were at? And I don't know. I'm just kind of trying to get where your mindset
00:26:17
Speaker
Well, that, you know, uh, it's just like, when I look back, it's just like, what could I have done differently that would have been different? I mean, the, the route that I took, I have pretty much all my life has have had to do out of necessity. Like when I moved, when I worked for my dad, I had to, I didn't have any form of identification. I couldn't get out.
00:26:41
Speaker
when i got my identification i had to get out the only way i knew how to because if i stayed on my dad's house i wasn't gonna be able to do anything i was just gonna be stuck at the restaurant still getting paid under under minimum wage all that kind of stuff so i moved over there and then i had to go and work at the first place i get a job which was home goods.
00:27:06
Speaker
I didn't really have much experience but I mean I had to do that and then after I was done working there I had to go back home I go back to the basement I didn't really have much there. But I mean I knew I made the choices but I'm at where I'm at now which isn't terrible I know a lot of people in a lot of credit card debt and like a lot of.
00:27:27
Speaker
things are looking good for them right now, but it's just things that kind of build up. But as of right now, I'm at a minimum. You know, I don't really owe too much, but I mean, that's the thing is I'm also okay with being a minimalist. I don't need extravagant things and I've always been happy not having too much. And that's, that's kept me in my zone. Like I've been, I've, I've saw my lane. I know where my lane is. I kind of stayed in it.
00:27:54
Speaker
I didn't go out of it. I didn't, and I was okay with that. So I didn't really have any regrets. I mean, I, looking at both of y'all, like you guys have, have great, you know, lives and everything, but I know both of your ups and downs, you know, I know all of that ties into it where I'm a straight middle. Like I don't have those huge highs, but I also don't have those huge lows that you guys do sometimes. And.
00:28:19
Speaker
I'm just living life. I mean, I got plenty of time. I don't feel like 30 is what it was 10 years ago or 20 years ago. That's where people still base a lot of their stuff back then. Right. At the end of the day, it's like there's a social expectation of
00:28:44
Speaker
you know, where you're supposed to be at what age and essentially from what I see everywhere, every single, you know, millionaire podcast and all the successful people talk about it. It's like just do you focus on you and, you know, don't worry about the age. Like as long as you focus on you, everything will come. So Nick is, you know, pretty, pretty solid where he's at. He's, you know, doesn't regret really the risk because he's, you know,
00:29:10
Speaker
He felt like it was appropriate. How about you, Jimmy? Are you comfortable where you're at? Because you're still in between certain areas of deciding what you want to do and where you want to be. Yeah, again, it's all perspective. It's kind of where I'm at now.
00:29:30
Speaker
You have a choice. You can look at it like, oh, well, this sucks. Or you can be like, oh, well, in my case, I'm very fortunate. Like right now, I went through college and I didn't quite finish. I had a couple of classes left, but COVID kind of screwed that up. So I'm back home.
00:29:43
Speaker
with my parents, trust me, trying to get out. But right now, I'm in a stage of my life where for the next couple months, I'm working a lot, saving a lot of money. I don't really have a lot of bills, and I just think that that's a blessing. It's all perspective. Yeah. Yeah, fair enough. It was more just because
00:30:06
Speaker
I know you're at home and I know that you go back and forth between wanting to go back to school, wanting to stay working and make money. It's like a pinball machine with that. You go back and forth even wanting to live in Florida. Correct. As far as that goes, I'm still all over the place. I do have to finish school. I've just been procrastinating that.
00:30:32
Speaker
Um, and I always kind of just find myself complaining about, I really can't complain. That's why I hate it. That's why I'm always back and forth. You can always complain. Yeah. I feel like you can even have like, like I said, you can have a life like he does and still have downs. But I am a fair skin ginger. I will not survive past 50 years old in this Florida sun.
00:30:56
Speaker
Also, on top of that, like I just I find joy in cold weather and you know, I'm young and maybe I won't be saying that 20 years from now and probably not. That's what I'm saying and kind of going with what you just said with you and it just said, you know, you're young and it's all perspective. So why not enjoy it and take a risk of, you know, going to move to North Dakota, please don't do that. There's no, you know, going to move to North Dakota in the mountains for a year and seeing how you like it and trying new things. But yeah, I have no idea what's in store for me after
Living in the Moment and Relationships
00:31:42
Speaker
Most of the perspective is always looking backwards where I'm starting to have the perspective of just being in the present. Like, I understand that I wish before was different and all that stuff, but that doesn't do anything for me.
00:31:44
Speaker
after this year, I'm just trying to cross my tears, not my eyes.
00:31:58
Speaker
So I just focus on, well, am I happy now? Do I want to change anything now? Do I want to do anything now? And that's also why we're doing the, you know, the coding and stuff is because I'm like, well, now I want to I'm really dead set on trying to do it. And that's why I really like.
00:32:15
Speaker
And honestly, it's so weird because when we do those, I honestly have a pretty decent amount of fun. I have fun learning about it, which is crazy because I hate learning, but I love learning about that stuff. So I'll, uh, I'll universe the question back to you, Dylan.
00:32:32
Speaker
No, that's not how this works. I thought it was an interview. Yeah. So so since I mean, you did make it very abundantly clear that we have different perspectives. So we did here. So how do you what about your choices? Do you wish that there was anything different? You made any other.
00:32:54
Speaker
Choices that your wife would have to hear about because we'll cut later. Well, so this So this turns into an interview kind of because Jimmy's not here regularly enough that I start asking other questions But I mean I I have no you can you can label this tapping into the mind of the Asian the ginger Asian persuasion
00:33:21
Speaker
Um, so I know you're, you're good. Jimmy's, you know, Jimmy goes back and forth with pretty much everything in his life. So he doesn't know what he feels. Um, I'm comfortable where I'm at. Um, I, I have no regrets. You know, there's, there might've been a lot of good decisions.
00:33:46
Speaker
I mean, I didn't say you made only good decisions. You made a lot of pumpers. Don't pump his tires that that much. So there's a there's there's been good decisions and safe decisions. So, you know, made a lot of safe decisions, which doesn't make them bad. But, you know, a lot of safe decisions. So I avoided a lot of stuff. But so I avoided a lot of stuff. But there's also stuff that, you know, you miss out on by taking the safe route. So.
00:34:17
Speaker
There's a lot of different perspectives here. I obviously have no regrets. I'm happy where I'm at. Right on. I'd love to hear it.
00:34:27
Speaker
So so we got three turns here. I mean, Dylan has the I like he pretty much has the ideal life that typical disagree. You know, a house with a little fence. Now the fence doesn't need to be built up, but, you know, he's got a dog. Why does it want to be married?
00:34:48
Speaker
I said the typical. All right. Jimmy's not typical. You said ideal. Oh, ideal. Oh, sorry. I meant, uh, that was the American life. The old fashioned Jimmy, would you be married right now? If you could be, would you be married right now? No.
00:35:07
Speaker
Yeah, that's hard. Well, I got to control myself first, depending if the cars were right. But they weren't. But I am definitely not. I do not regret the relationships I did have, though. I'm so glad that I had them, but I'm also glad that they ended because we. We have asked me a year from now, might be a different answer, but yeah. So you you 100 percent.
00:35:37
Speaker
Do not wish you were married right now. We'll go with like 99. OK. Do you just wish you had a girlfriend is the answer? No, I want single or married. The whole girlfriend thing is.
00:35:57
Speaker
I've done it since, I've literally been in a relationship almost 27 years old. I've done it since I was 18 years old. He's going to walk into the club with a ring. Exactly. Then they would be divorced by the next year. Sorry Jimmy. No. So what's, what's your perfect like,
00:36:19
Speaker
Not doesn't have to be first because this it actually came up with a couple of people I was talking with like a really good solid date Yours you both are still dating Oh Jesus
00:36:33
Speaker
This isn't like a straight up just like a pickup like, oh hey, let's go at a bar. Like a date that you're trying to lay. Damn, that's not a date. No, you're trying to quote somebody. Oh, Jesus. Oh, jeez. Oh, jeez. That's not a date. That's, let's talk. That's basically Tinder in a physical form. Is that a, so I guess like what, going out to dinners out of the question? You want me to get creative? No, I mean, that's not out of the question. I'm just, you know. I mean, a lot of people do first dates to dinners, so if that is your choice. Well, um, I wouldn't choose that.
00:37:02
Speaker
You don't have to get super specific, but in general. This is definitely not my number one. I think this is like a super solid and this is a very, very Florida esque that I'm going to say. Oh, jeez. Cocaine in the bathroom. It's your 30 in the morning. Let's get out of here. Would you like to share? Are you sharing with me? Boom. My prince charming.
00:37:29
Speaker
I'm gonna go with the the beach theme like even when the Sun's going down. What are you doing on the beach? Like a picnic like You know and if you want to go all out and you want to want to get the whole like the picnic like a little table You want to do like a charcuterie board? Bottom line type deal. That's like nice
00:37:48
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. See, I would go to Florida just to do that. That'd be pretty dope. So, okay. So you do, so that's a perfect date, you know, according to you. Would you ever do that?
00:38:01
Speaker
How in love am I with the girl? I don't know. You tell me. At what point are you? Because I don't ever see you building a charcuterie board and driving to the beach with it. Well, my last relationship, I didn't even have the chance to do that, so. Well, yeah. Dodging bullet, but I just have to be like, you know, head over heels like that. That's a lot of effort. That's a lot of money. It's a lot of effort. You know, you do the whole.
00:38:29
Speaker
and get the rose, little rose, one rose in the. I don't know what this is. Rose, if you get the one rose in the in the vase and you know, that's like a it's like 100 bucks. A bottle of wine. It's expensive, man. Yeah, I mean, it's an expensive date. I'll give you that. I definitely would not do that, like in the first. Like two or three months of seeing somebody.
00:38:56
Speaker
OK, so it would have to be like a serious relationship that you would do that. Like a serious, serious. Yeah. Like you're considering proposing type deal. Yeah. OK. I was I was trying to gauge at one point you crossed that border because that seemed like a lot of work. You go to get drinks with like friends. You go to a movie like that's all like the first couple weeks, first couple of months. OK. You bring her home, bring her to bed.
00:39:31
Speaker
So frustrating, kind of back on the theme, frustrating. Hey, keep it mild. Yeah, for real. Soccer, I'm trying to get back into soccer. Watching soccer.
00:39:49
Speaker
It's bootable. Watching, dude, the flops. That is really frustrating. Granted, the NBA, watching LeBron James and stuff, it's really bad. I feel like it's gotten worse over the past decade. I don't know, man. It's a real problem. Even just talking about flops in general, the NBA has gotten
00:40:13
Speaker
LeBron James. Yeah, I think he kind of led the led the pack. LeBron James went to one soccer game and was like, I can probably pull this off. This is a great idea, actually. Great idea. Yeah, I remember when Brady and Brett Favre and. Rokowski. Sports. Gronkowski. Yeah.
00:40:43
Speaker
I'm pretty sure I may have got one of Dylan's two listeners upset with that one Yep, they're never coming back and it's you two Yeah, soccer is I don't know it's just one of those sports where I like soccer but just just to sit there and watch back and forth like I'll watch like the World Cups and and you know in the Olympics and stuff like that I love that but I
00:41:08
Speaker
I don't know. I just feel like there's so much soccer to be watched. And just to see a one nothing game and back and forth and the flops. It's an acquired taste. Fair. I will say I have watched a few of those because, of course, working on my dad's restaurant, we'd be watching a few of the game China. But surely China. Yeah, I would say there would be a lot of times where we would look at the game
00:41:35
Speaker
We'd have to go back in there to do some of the work. And then when it gets slow again, we come back and nobody scored. And I wonder if like in the locker room, like that's a strategic. Like teaching, like what if the coach just, you know, tells him to like, if you have the chance, like flop and go down and like to get, to get the, you got it with the amount that I've seen.
00:41:58
Speaker
And I'm a meme watcher, so I definitely I watch all the the outtakes like those and I definitely see all the flops as well. But yeah, those I would have to say those definitely like professionally done. Oh, yeah, you know, they're the coaches in on it like. I mean, you might not be like you need to go down, but he is obviously on board because if he wasn't, then the players wouldn't be doing it.
00:42:24
Speaker
It's I don't know. It's a really frustrating part of any sport. Do you think they should implement a penalty if they're caught flopping? Have you had somebody flopping? I don't know. Well, if you've seen, especially soccer, I don't know. I've seen a couple of things where they're hurt and their ankle and they're screaming and then they just get up and run to the sideline. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I think it should cost them a goal, a penalty.
00:42:51
Speaker
Yellow card. Yeah. There should be like minimums for if you go down, you have to be taken out. It's almost like a NFL where if you go down, you have to be out for at least one play. Right, exactly. They should be taken out for at least a certain period of time or until a substitution can be made. I don't know. But it's a real problem and it's- No need for enticing.
00:43:13
Speaker
I agree. It's really annoying to watch. Another question I had for you. So I brought this up in a previous podcast, actually, I think with Alan.
Tiny Home Living vs. Minimalism
00:43:27
Speaker
Jimmy, would you ever live in a tiny home? Never. Why? Claustrophobic. You're claustrophobic? No. OK, good. Other people are, and this is to bring awareness.
00:43:43
Speaker
I don't know like what's a tiny home like an actual tiny home like where it's just like a tiny home Like the an actual tiny home or just like a house that's very very no an actual tiny home. Oh Where it's like you live in an RV or something like type size, right? I don't think I could know
00:44:05
Speaker
Why? I just Jimmy's Florida, but he's not part of the, uh, the Everglades type Florida, the hippie Florida. What's this? Like, what's the, what's the barrier? I just, I don't know. I, I guess I classify myself as like an introvert and I don't like to be like outside as much.
00:44:30
Speaker
What does that have to do with the house? Because I want more space in the house. I don't want to just be bundled up. When I went to college and I got my dorm room, I was like, oh my God, I'm not going to survive. I was freaking out. In the big scheme of things, I was very lucky. It was actually a huge dorm. I had my own bathroom and walked out of the bedroom to the bathroom. I don't know if that's just kind of like, I guess it's a mental thing.
00:44:57
Speaker
If I had to, obviously I would. Yes, if you were forced to, you would survive. I would survive. But I'm trying to figure out what's the barrier to entry? What makes you absolutely not want to do it? For one, security. What's the difference between security of a big house versus small house?
00:45:21
Speaker
Like, if a burglar comes in, like, if I have a tiny house, a burglar comes in, it's like, if I'm in my bedroom, he's in my kitchen. He's got only one place to shoot. He's got one place to shoot. If I'm in a huge house, I'm in my bedroom, and the kitchen's like a mile down the hallway and downstairs, and I got time to, like, OK. He shoots you from down the hallway, living room, and the bathroom, and one, like, you know, straight line. But also, it's easy, you know, other side of that is easier to secure.
00:45:49
Speaker
It's like securing yourself in a bathroom. That's false, actually. No, it's easier to secure a bigger area with a bigger area. There's less areas that they can. Well, there's more areas that they can expect you from, which means there's more areas that you can hide. It's almost like it's almost like camping in like a video game. It's like. With a with a mobile there, there's only one place you if they felt like blowing up the mobile home, they just put some TNT in there. Boop.
00:46:15
Speaker
Yeah, I'm actually like exactly that, too. Imagine like camping in like Fortnite or Call of Duty. It's like when you may turn a corner, it's like it's a shootout. You have a 50 percent chance of surviving. And usually you never survive that. So is your worry about a tiny home really that somebody is going to come in your tiny home with a gun? No worries. No, it's just more to come back here. I don't want to I don't want to cook my food in the kitchen and then take one step and then sit on the toilet. But that might be efficient, though.
00:46:47
Speaker
It's like an apartment, but I don't know. I think it could be cool. I'd rather an apartment because there's a lot more people. I like people, believe it or not. I hate people so much, but I like being around people. That makes any type of sense. It doesn't. You just said you were an introvert. I know. It's so weird. I don't know. I'm weird.
00:47:11
Speaker
I would say living in a place like an apartment would be as equal to living in a mobile home or something. So you can see yourself at least living in an apartment and being okay.
00:47:25
Speaker
I feel like that would be minimal enough. Oh, yeah. I don't mind that. For most cases. Now, I guess if you're talking about like, hey, let's get a bus and then transform it into a living area, like what you see on the TikTok stuff, I guess. It'd be cool to do for like a week or two. I could see Jimmy going on a hiatus when he's 40 and then just doing that for a year. Make it take time. I think that'd be sick having a tiny home.
00:47:54
Speaker
Hey, all power to you. Sell your home and get a tiny home. Well, it's so much less to have to do with. Dylan, you couldn't fit all of your television computers. That's the issue. That's the issue, okay? I get it. What are you talking about? Your 7X boxes. That doesn't change the fact that I think it would be good. Could I fit my stuff? Probably not. That microphone that you're using right now could probably extend into the kitchen. Yeah, it would have to sit at the kitchen table.
00:48:17
Speaker
So I've been doing research with, uh, the company I worked for and it does seem like. They, if you have a tap on your mobile area, you can get wifi service. We can send out wifi service. So, I mean, you could use your, at least use your TV and your Xbox and stuff at the small, if you got it, you can get it done. You can still get wifi service.
00:48:44
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I know that. I just, I don't know. They're like really, really fancy trailers, which the problem with trailers is they're cheap and unsafe and crappy looking. Hey, hey, hey. I grew up in some of those. Also imagine living with your significant other and you need to go out and get some space, go to a different room. You want to go to like,
00:49:09
Speaker
Yeah, your bedroom and play video games and like take an hour to yourself or something. It's like, OK, I'm going to take one step and sit in the same breathing space as you, even though I'm pissed. You get a double one. Double trailer, a double wide tiny home. Yeah, if you bring another person into it, that adds another complication, then that's a valid reason. You know, if you don't if you don't want to be next to somebody all the time, but that's obviously not a concern for you because you have nobody.
00:49:36
Speaker
I'm only going to clarify this because I know that Dylan is not about that live, but there are actual double wide trailers.
00:49:43
Speaker
I'm well aware. Okay. I don't know. That's why I was laughing saying double Y tiny home, which I think is borderline the small home.
Fitness Frustrations and Farewells
00:49:54
Speaker
Are you about to go to the gym? Absolutely. And it's going to be ridiculous because it's January. Everyone's on their 2022 new year, new me. And it's five o'clock. I looked at my gym and nobody made it this far.
00:50:12
Speaker
There's one, there's one guy in there. I was like, bro, I had that workout. Nice. I have respect for people who go and want to change themselves. But if you're there and you're on your phone and taking up time and space, like, get out. If you're going to be there for two weeks and then call it and we need donuts.
00:50:37
Speaker
Actually, I don't care what you do. As long as I can work out in a timely fashion then, do you? Get out of my way. Yeah. Throw a little Timmy off the lap pull down machine. Okay. Well, I guess go to the gym. Hey, it's been a real pleasure. I hope to be back within two years this time. A little brainstorm for the next week. And we'll be back. And maybe, just maybe, if we're lucky, we'll have Alan.
00:51:05
Speaker
You better be back. Very nice perspective to the table. Yeah, it's different without him here. Him and his 10 foot calves. I forgot about that. Real quick, what's for dinner? Ravioli. Ravioli. Give me a formula. Real ravioli. Ground turkey and potatoes.
00:51:34
Speaker
Jimmy, go to cookout. Oh, my God, I would kill for some cookout right now. No, you wouldn't. Yes, I would. You would be your Taco Bell. Well, I'm going to Uber you. I'm going to Uber Eats me some cookout. Oh, sure. It'll be here. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Yeah. Three thousand dollars. Oh, Lord. Here's the upcharge. Might be worth it. What's your like if you had to cheat meal tonight, what are you what would you do?
00:52:01
Speaker
Not if you had to cheat meal, like if you decided to. Well, my big cheat, I love burgers, as you can tell. Like a plain burger. Oh, no, that's not a cheat meal. The bun is a bun. I'm saying the bun is the cheat, but just a plain burger. That's not a cheat meal.
00:52:24
Speaker
Do people, there's a misconception about burgers. Burgers are not as unhealthy for you as anyone thinks they are. That's what I'm saying. If you just have a meat patty, that's not a cheat meal. Well, a bun is just carbohydrates. It's the same thing as eating like a cup of rice. Yeah, I mean, fair enough. I'm just, yeah. There's no fat in it. It would be the most unhealthy, you know, in quotes, part of the meal would be the bun. Well, you can make a very healthy burger. I want to personally enjoy this. I like pizza a lot.
00:52:57
Speaker
Good to know you know what it's not being healthy, but let's go with pizza Pineapple on pizza absolutely not to the people who think that There's something a little wrong with you, but I still accept you anyway. Have you tried it yet? I have it just know the weird thing is I'm actually not well, I'm not a big fan of it now, but I don't I
00:53:23
Speaker
Yeah. Mm hmm. Did you try it? Did you try a a wine pizza or did you try pineapple on pizza that's different? I tried a slice of pizza with ham and pineapple on the I like Hawaiian pizza because it comes with the ham. That's why. And when I try pineapple, I at least look at him. You need to do you like pineapple in general? Yes. Do you like pizza in general? Why don't you combine the two?
00:53:53
Speaker
Um, no, you need to try just regular. Oh, it's a pizza day. You need to try pineapple and pepperoni. Are you out of your right mind? And that's it on the pizza. See, I wouldn't mind that more than I wouldn't mind the Hawaiian because when I take off the pineapple, at least I get pepperoni. That's the equivalent of like.
00:54:22
Speaker
A sandwich. A sandwich? Pineapple is a fruit. Yeah, so it's tomato. All I can say is Gordon Ramsay says no, and I agree. Gordon Ramsay is hot. I agreed before Gordon Ramsay said it. What are you? What are you? Idiot sandwich. Idiot sandwich. You're an idiot sandwich if you have pineapple and pizza. Donkey. That's all.
00:54:50
Speaker
I don't know how we can get back that another time. I still think you're missing out. It's just for you. I'll try it because I'm a man of. Experience. I'm actually I'm going to the gym and there's actually a Sal's pizzeria. Shout out Sal's. I wouldn't pay money for him, but if I ever say over at Dylan's and he so happens to buy it, I'm like, I'll try it. Pepperoni and pineapple is where it's at.
00:55:17
Speaker
It's amazing. I'm going to try it. I'm going to send you a nice little thing. You know, it doesn't. I don't know if it takes away from it, but it's not necessarily one bite. Again, I only like the hand because when I take out the pineapple, at least I get him on that note. Anyways, it's been an absolute pleasure. I appreciate you both being here. Absolutely. Hopefully see you guys next week. Yeah. I mean, I know Nick will be here. We don't know who else will be here. Nick's got generally nothing to do. I'm going to do my best. I'm going to do my best not to be here just because of that comment.
00:55:49
Speaker
I might be here. I want to fill my day up. Hey, I didn't say I have anything to do. I said you also have nothing to do. All right. All right. Well, enjoy the gym, gym. Thank you. And I guess we'll see you all next time. Stay frustrated. Stay angry. Um, Jimmy has no problem with that. Nope. Once again, enjoy lifting weights. I promise you I'll be more frustrated next week.
00:56:15
Speaker
And he will say, I won't be if I have his life's pizza beforehand. Until next time, we shall see you all later. Peace.
