Episode 16: Ice Breakers
29 Plays1 month ago
This episode takes a lighthearted approach with some fun ice breakers so you can better get to know us. Next episode will be part 3 of our depression/suicide series.
Good Morning, Gents! This is a podcast hosted by four Marine Corps veterans with the goal of uplifting men to be the best version of ourselves. In an age of high rates of suicide and depression, especially in the male population, we are taking a stand. This is a place that will cover all of the challenges and realities that we face in the current world, and how we can break down barriers to betterment for ourselves, our families, and the world.
A tragic suicide of our friend sparked an idea and experiment for us as we rekindled our friendship: A group text where we say "Good Morning" to each other every single day, and continue the conversation about what is going on in our lives, be there for one another, and spread positivity and reassurance. Men bear so much weight of responsibility in society that it is hard for men to have an outlet to express themselves. This has attributed to the vast number of suicides in the male population. We aim to cut those numbers down with this podcast. Between the discussions our hosts will talk about, and the guests we bring onto the show, we invite you to join us on this journey towards self-betterment for all.

00:02:37
Speaker
What do you enjoy? I'll start. You bunch of chatty. Yeah, yeah. this could go so far south sorry my my first inclination was it got dark your quake wait timeouts let's i out up my brain my brain was like what do i enjoy i think all of our answers have to be something outside of the box that we haven't talked about yet i agree with that that's what i was gonna lean in so matt can't do fucking working I have three kids, assholes. it's not like i have a lot of fucking hobbies. Brandon, it can't be violent masturbation.
Unconventional Hobbies Discussion
00:03:14
Speaker
yeah I don't do that anymore. ah Why's it got to be violent? Why can't it just be a consensual, nice time touching yourself?
00:03:27
Speaker
Rye Robinson's...
00:03:31
Speaker
Oh, you got to spend the money on the lotion, bro. see them Not at all. I'm with Brando. All my family listening. Plug your ears. Oh, yeah. This might not. Poor This is going to go down some holes.
00:03:45
Speaker
She's going to leave a bad review this week. Yeah, or it's already turned off. She's already turned it off. For all of our listeners out there, we know we don't have a massive following or subscription list just yet.
00:03:57
Speaker
But screw you guys for not writing reviews. There's no reason that we are 14 weeks in and my mom was the first review. So you guys need to get out there and get some reviewing happening.
00:04:07
Speaker
My cousin dropped on on Instagram. Oh, yeah. There's been there's been a right few reviews.
00:04:14
Speaker
What about the Legion mom as a listener now? After this. She's hooked. She's all for it. Caleb's mom has got it going. I'm so excited. Hey, hey, all right. We're about to lose all the listeners if we don't get this back.
00:04:29
Speaker
We're about to list lose all the listeners if we don't get this back on the chain. All right. Lame. hobbies. And it's just something that we we we don't necessarily talk about as often, right?
00:04:40
Speaker
So um everybody knows I shoot and hunt and fish. Weird pivot. um I dabble in, like, gold and silver collecting. Yeah.
00:04:51
Speaker
That's not a bad idea. I dabble? Okay. it I've got silver doublooms and goldbacks and things like that.
00:05:01
Speaker
Was not expecting that, but I am not surprised. I like to collect foreign currency. but I've got some Libyan dinar with Gaddafi's face on it. But see this here. This is this is what you call a goldback. For those who can't see, just Google goldback. It is a gold form of currency that you can keep in a wallet. It comes in nominal values, but it's it's based off of the weight of gold that it's manufactured.
00:05:27
Speaker
and The art is pretty cool on it. Oh, every... there There's state series. So this is our Wyoming. yeah Wow. But there's... Yeah, there's Florida. All the women on the Florida ones are our rather attractive. Of course. Florida put like... Florida put ah a pirate in a bikini on on a ship for their $100 bill. Oh, so it's like modern? I could live in that state, I swear.
00:05:50
Speaker
Yep. All right. Next next rando hobby. A journal. Okay. Yeah, I wouldn't... and that's that's That's the least macho thing you do. so like that's That's pretty random. i I don't have a lot of fucking hobbies, man. Yeah, this guy's got no personality.
00:06:06
Speaker
I clean my fucking car like five times a week. Is that a hobby? ah ah Working out your main one, but you also kayak and do other things. Yeah, when I get a chance. i don't get I don't get a chance enough to call it a hobby, though. you like If I could go out kayaking every week, I would.
00:06:22
Speaker
He legit could only ever date muscle mommies from now on because they're the only ones who would tolerate anything he has to talk about because it's only
Diverse Hobbies and Collections
00:06:31
Speaker
running or the gym or.
00:06:34
Speaker
I either with my kids, I'm working out, getting sleep or eating or cleaning. Like there's only like five things in my life. I got it. I get a random Saturday afternoon that I can go up to the river and get on a kayak, then I'm down for that because it's awesome.
00:06:52
Speaker
But yeah yeah, I don't i't have... I'm not a hobbyist. You know, if I had to date Mac, I could deal with all of it except for the running part. That's where he would lose me. He'd start bragging about it. You don't have come with me. I don't know.
00:07:07
Speaker
I really don't. does everyone like the more If you saw correctly, I went and ran like 18 miles a day. People are like, the fuck? There it is. I did not run 18 miles a day. Intervals for 45 minutes if the listeners wanted to know. Yeah, that was a terrible idea. This is why I don't have time for hobbies.
00:07:28
Speaker
Freddie talks me into shit like run a marathon. Run a marathon. That would be fun. Just spend six hours a fucking day training for it. um I like to try to emulate YouTube chefs and cook the meals that they make in my own home.

Exactly. Good. Um, so that's really cool. I have, um, I have some coins and stuff like that, ah that are, you know, like from world war two and before that, I love my first edition copy um,
00:10:10
Speaker
um All Quiet on the Western Front in German. Ooh, hell yeah. It's first edition. And what's cool about that is ah they were banned in Germany during World War II because the Nazis basically considered it anti-war and like anti- you know, nationalist.
00:10:30
Speaker
um So they banned it and they burned most of the copies. So I have one of the surviving copies. It's, it is in great condition. That's awesome.

Like a buffalo. like i could do I could do a buffalo, but I was leaning in on the physicalness. you know i'm not I'm not big enough to be a buffalo, so I went with deer.
00:12:41
Speaker
I was going to also say maybe elk, right? Ooh, yeah. Elk fits. Moose. Okay. What weird... to this is long gonna Yo, mac Mac is a fucking silverback ape.

Fifth grade, the very first year of middle school. I used to ride my goat cart down the road to the turtle pond, and I would pick turtle eggs that would be sold to Asian supermarkets for consumption.
00:30:24

00:30:58
Speaker
Oh, man. All right. Last one. And then we're going to move to quirky. All right. Really need you guys to give a reason why behind this. What was your favorite subject in
Favorite School Subjects and Anecdotes
00:31:10
Speaker
school?
00:31:10
Speaker
History. American history. Hell yeah. I actually, so history was my strongest subject by far um to the point where I was so good at history that my high school history teacher let me teach the class.
00:31:25
Speaker
um Dear God. but But did you letter her in history? Did I letter her in history? My letterman's jacket has football in history quiz bowl on it, big dog.
00:31:36
Speaker
History quiz bowl? We didn't have that. But if we did, I would fucking have that shit. History quiz bowl. Nerd. Here's the funny thing. When we were in school, Caleb was a nerd.
00:31:53
Speaker
But now, that's the cool shit. That's what all the cool popular kids do. such Listen, you don't become like creeping up towards your middle age without enjoying talking about lawn care, grilling, and history. like Every guy loves World War II.
00:32:12
Speaker
Like we could just stand around at a barbecue and talk about how we like to grill meats and World War II. ah yeah did American history?
00:32:23
Speaker
i don't think I ever fucking like i history overall, like ancient Greece and stuff. I could give two shits about, I never really cared. Um, but American history all day.
00:32:36
Speaker
So history is not my favorite subject. It's just what I was the best at. I can remember. Yours like home ec, isn't it? No. You like math, don't you? I do like math. Oh. But that that wasn't that wasn't my favorite subject.
00:32:48
Speaker
If I were to go back to school now, math would for sure, just based on- I'm surprised you're not an engineer. You probably like tech shop or some shit. Nope, nope. So I took welding and wood shop and small engines and I took the regular high school classes too. But my my favorite subject was always like was like chemistry.
00:33:06
Speaker
Really? and And biology. But I failed chemistry the first time. I had to retake it. I didn't want to learn things. I just wanted to make shit blow up. mr I have to agree with you there, buddy. My favorite was chemistry and biology.
00:33:21
Speaker
I love dissecting animals. I love yeah like combining chemicals together to make something new. so you brand When you pour to mushroom farm you pour two clear chemicals together and they turn a color, like what?
00:33:37

00:34:05
Speaker
Dude, writing pissed me off. Pick a person or a topic or a prompt. or a prop I only write when I want to write. You're not going to force me to write five pages on something don't want to write. yeah when I was in college, I had this freaking bullshit teacher who was a dick.
00:34:21
Speaker
And if you're listening to this, um i apologize. This lady... No, you were bullshit teacher who was a dick. I hope the bedbugs... This lady was hard ass. Like, never... I'm a pretty good fucking writer for, like, essays and shit.
00:34:40
Speaker
I mean, I'm a good writer in general. But she never gave me over a B. And she was very hard. So, our final... You gotta to give her the B. No. Our final fucking project for the year was an essay.
00:34:53
Speaker
Seven pages on what is an essay. How the fuck do you fit seven pages of that? How how can you possibly come to terms? So I was like old. That sounds...
00:35:05
Speaker
listen That is my hell. You guys know how Mac hates cold? What you just described is literally I would lock myself in a footlocker and get thrown off a bridge and try and Houdini that before I write a seven-page essay on what an essay is. You could easily do it these days because you could use ChatGPT.
00:35:24
Speaker
I didn't have that shit. So you know what I did? I got blackout drunk, legitimately blackout drunk, and I wrote it. I just churned this shit out, bullshitted the fuck out of it.
00:35:37
Speaker
Guess what I got? a plus and You don't even know what you wrote. Nope. Best work I ever did, apparently. I wrote a couple college papers fucking close to blackout drunk.
00:35:48
