00:04:06
Chris
What?
00:04:07

00:05:59
Chris
Well, can I measure your foot to be sure? You do you, man. Cause if you're working at a shoe store, you've probably got some weird fetish, have at it. So he measures my feet and he's like, you know, your left foot is, you know, what do you say? the A quarter inch or something shorter than the right. i was like, yeah. He's like, but that's to be expected. you're right handed. I'm like, I don't care. Give me something to put on my feet.

I stand up and he goes, now, how do they feel? was like, they feel like shoes. And he's like, well, do they feel different? I said, no, they don't. And he just goes, hmm, well, maybe we should switch them around. i was like, or just give me two of the same damn shoe and let me walk around.
00:06:57
Chris
And then my wife was like, you know, I'll just walk around, you know? And so i walk around a little bit. How do they feel? i was like, they feel like shoes. I don't know what to tell you. And then she was like, well, maybe you should run in them. i was like, I don't run. said, if someone's chasing me, I'll run. She said, well, i bet he'll chase you.

00:16:50
Chris

canadiantimetraveler
I'm like, I want to. ah And then, of course well, and you have ah a processing fee every year. And there's a convenience fee for your payment.
00:17:44
Chris
What?
00:17:44
canadiantimetraveler
there's a convenience fee for my payment. Well, that's just how we process your fee. That's part of the membership. Just put that on the tin. This is what my membership costs. That's only only one out of you.
00:17:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:54
canadiantimetraveler
It's just like so infuriating.
00:17:56
Chris
Don't try to lie to me when there's all these little add-on charges.
00:18:00
canadiantimetraveler
Right. Just what is take whatever money you say I owe you after a year, break that into 12, what we would call in my parlance monthly payments.
00:18:14
canadiantimetraveler
In your your parlance, 12 is bi-monthly, but, you know, we'll well well work on it.
00:18:20
Chris
Whatever.
00:18:22
canadiantimetraveler
So take that number and just tell me what the number is. which I'm willing to pay the extra $3 a month so that I don't have a surcharge and whatever the crap.
00:18:31
Chris
Hmm.
00:18:32
canadiantimetraveler
Just tell me what it is.
00:18:33

00:18:36
Chris
Yeah, it's...
00:18:38
canadiantimetraveler
So I probably won't be at this gym for long because it'll be frustrating.
00:18:38
Chris
Well... Yeah. Well, I'm assuming you have a Burner bank account, because that's the easiest way to get out of a gym membership, because when you try to cancel, it's ridiculous.
00:18:48
canadiantimetraveler
Right.
00:18:51
canadiantimetraveler
Well, the fun part is the credit card that I gave them expires in two weeks.
00:18:56
Chris
Nice!
00:18:57
canadiantimetraveler
So if I'm just like, I don't feel like dealing with this.
00:19:02
canadiantimetraveler
Good luck taking me to collections for 30 bucks. Well, I made sure that there's no there's no contract with this membership. Because that's another thing Jim's like to do. that We need to put you on a yearly contract.
00:19:15
canadiantimetraveler

00:19:27
canadiantimetraveler
right
00:19:32
canadiantimetraveler

00:21:18
canadiantimetraveler
It's like, i don't know, 120 bucks a month for their trainer sessions. And the trainers leave the gym a mess. They never put shit away. They treat it like crap.
00:21:28

There are, cause I'm there, I was there a good amount and I've seen a lot of the trainers. There's like two that are really good. The rest of them are are looking at their phone and go, uh-huh, yeah, 10 more.
00:21:47
Chris
yeah
00:21:51
canadiantimetraveler
Of course, the new gym I have has trainers. who they don't have their own private area, so have to keep the gym clean. And the one guy is, he's walking around in Crocs, his shirt untucked.
00:22:05
canadiantimetraveler
He's got a huge ass beer belly. His hat turned backwards. I'm like, I don't want you to be my trainer.
00:22:11
Chris
He's a trainer?
00:22:12
canadiantimetraveler
Right? Like, i know I don't want to be shaming people's bodies, but you're a physical trainer. Like, you i should look at you and go I want to look like that.

Those aren't, those are words you're using to make me do it, but that can't be true.
00:27:40

00:29:13
Chris
Yeah. Time for topic one.
Sitting Styles and Flexibility
00:29:16
canadiantimetraveler
big one So apparently, and i this is going to be shock to anyone who's ever listened to this podcast, I'm a weirdo.
00:29:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:25
canadiantimetraveler
I was informed last night that I'm a weirdo. So we were, it was a kind of slow day at work. Got all my work done, actually caught up on some stuff.
00:29:37
canadiantimetraveler
So we were like, oh, watching movies. So we went over to, you know, after dinner, we're watching the lounge and one of my firefighters puts on the anaconda movie the one with uh jack black and paul rudd what a dog shit movie that is by the way oh my god it was it before that on the fx was the ghostbuster movie that also looked painful to watch couldn't handle it paul rudd was in it
00:29:50
Chris
and Paul Rudd yeah oh I figured yeah
00:30:07
Chris
which one there's been two of them yeah he's in both of them yeah
00:30:15
canadiantimetraveler
Then I got nothing. Oh, ah the guy from Die Hard was in it.
00:30:22
canadiantimetraveler
Well, he's in Die Hard 2. I'm not sure if he's in... He must be in Die Hard 1 as well, I think. He's the reporter guy. Yeah.
00:30:28
Chris
Oh, yeah. I think that was the first Paul Rudd one. I don't know. Either way.
00:30:33
canadiantimetraveler
It was rough watching.
00:30:33
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:35
canadiantimetraveler
It was a rough watch.
00:30:35
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:38
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. So anyways, we watched this Anikana movie and I'm like, oh, I'm a little uncomfortable and my back's little tight. So I cross my legs sitting in the chair. Take my shoes off. and not an animal.
00:30:49
canadiantimetraveler
Right? So I'm crossing my legs sitting in the chair. And apparently I'm a weirdo because how I cross my legs. When you sit... what the Utes call crisscross applesauce, which in our parlance of our age would be called Indian style, which I guess is not considered PC anymore.
00:31:02
Chris
Yes.
00:31:08
Chris
Right.
00:31:10
Chris
No.
00:31:11
canadiantimetraveler
How do you say
00:31:16
Chris
I don't know. My ankles crossed and my butt like right on top of my heels.
00:31:27
canadiantimetraveler
So I am a weirdo.
00:31:27
Chris
What? Wait, how do you sit? Do you sit like Lotus style?
00:31:32
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:31:32
Chris
With your feet up on your knees?
00:31:34
canadiantimetraveler
We're just one foot up.
00:31:36
Chris
One foot on a knee.
00:31:38
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, so like my one leg is is perpendicular. Wait. One leg is parallel with the with the chair and the other leg is parallel on top of that one.
00:31:50
canadiantimetraveler
Basically. Yeah, and apparently that makes me a weirdo.
00:31:53
Chris
That just makes you flexible.
00:31:55
canadiantimetraveler
Well, that was the next conversation was the sergeant from the truck was like, i can't believe you can sit like that. I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, I can't even sit Indian style, the normal, the weirdo, what I consider the weird way.
00:32:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:11
canadiantimetraveler
And he was, I was like this, that can't be true. You're not 90 years old with osteoporosis. You gotta to be able to sit cross-legged.
00:32:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:21
canadiantimetraveler
And he's like, no. So he tried he tried it and he could not do it. could not do it i'm like this is great apparently this is a well first off we have to have a survey of the department so we're gonna have to send out an official survey every member of the department and we're gonna find out what is the correct way to sit cross-legged
00:32:29
Chris
Is this like a new Firehouse challenge we need to start?
00:32:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:44
Chris
No, no, no, no, no. We just tell them sit cross-legged and see how they sit.
00:32:47
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, videotape yourself cross-legged and send it to us.
00:32:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:51
canadiantimetraveler
Okay.
00:32:51
Chris
Yes.
00:32:51
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Yeah. yeah All right.
00:32:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:52
canadiantimetraveler
I don't have time to like see each person.
00:32:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:55
canadiantimetraveler
So yeah, they're going to send me a video. Yeah.
00:32:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:58
canadiantimetraveler
Starting with Fire Chief.
00:33:01
Chris
I'll get on that Monday morning.
00:33:02
canadiantimetraveler
yeah Make sure you give me a video Monday morning of him sitting cross-legged.
00:33:05
Chris
Yep.
00:33:07
canadiantimetraveler
And then we'll have to see if they're flexible enough. Because then I was like, you know, I'm sitting in the correct way.
00:33:15
canadiantimetraveler
And I'm like reaching out with my arms and touching the floor and reaching further and further. And he's like, how are you doing that? I'm like,
00:33:23
canadiantimetraveler
I think you need help. I think you're a...
00:33:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:27
canadiantimetraveler
and He's a physical person.
00:33:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:31
canadiantimetraveler
you know he's I would consider him in really good shape. i was like, bud, you need a need some yoga in your life.
00:33:39
Chris
Yeah. Sounds like it.
00:33:39
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. yeah I really don't have a good point to this, except boy, people need yoga in their lives.
00:33:45
Chris
Well, I mean.
00:33:45
canadiantimetraveler
And, for God's sakes, it's the correct way is with your legs up. Lotus style. It's better for your back.
00:33:54
Chris
Yeah. I mean, flexibility is a huge thing. um yeah i don't know it's just yeah it is though i mean let's
00:33:58
canadiantimetraveler
I just never thought of that as flexibility.
00:34:02
canadiantimetraveler
Ever.
00:34:12
canadiantimetraveler
If you saw a little kid sitting, you know, cross-legged on the floor, you wouldn't be like, that kid's really flexible.
00:34:19
Chris
right but like
00:34:20
canadiantimetraveler
You'd like, that's a normal child.
00:34:23
Chris
I'm literally trying to do what you just described and my right knee is like up near my chest. Yes.
00:34:34
canadiantimetraveler
how would your knee get up near your chest you sit on the floor what yes my right foot is is just past the the crease now um we're all now we're just having a lesson
00:34:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:36
Chris
Because my right foot is on my left knee.
00:34:41
Chris
Yes.
00:34:52
canadiantimetraveler
my left foot is just past the crease in my between my thigh and my leg my calf
00:34:58
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:35:00
canadiantimetraveler
And my my knee is at a flat plane from the foot over.
00:35:06
Chris
Now, I'm at like a 45 degree angle.
00:35:11
canadiantimetraveler
Ow!
00:35:12
Chris
Because I'm not flexible.
00:35:14
canadiantimetraveler
But that seems harder.
00:35:15
Chris
it's It's going to be even worse with the other foot. Oh, good God, yeah. That's like at a 60 degree angle.
00:35:25
Chris
Yeah, I don't. My hips don't open up like that.
00:35:30
canadiantimetraveler
I think Ted would be very upset with you.
00:35:33
Chris
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:35:34
canadiantimetraveler
You've not been doing Ted's chair.
00:35:36
Chris
No, I haven't. No. And I will yeah i will admit, i um I need to work on my flexibility.
00:35:43
canadiantimetraveler
Wow.
00:35:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:44
canadiantimetraveler
I think I'm stunned by this revelation.
00:35:51
Chris
Yeah. yeah it's a Yeah, it's something we don't think about. i thought you were just go to say they gave you a hard time for sitting no crisscross in the chair. was like, I game like that all the time.
00:36:03
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, yeah. I know I'm a bad person ah for many reasons, but i when I'm sitting gaming, I'm always like one of my legs is always tucked underneath the other one.
00:36:14
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:36:14
canadiantimetraveler
Always.
00:36:15
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:36:16
canadiantimetraveler
I always wake up i'm like, oh, God, my foot is asleep.
00:36:19
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:20
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:36:20
Chris
I do the stand-up fall down.
00:36:22
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I feel like we need to have a flexibility class for the fire department because, boy.
00:36:30
Chris
We do. Well, remember they had those PT people come through and it was eye-opening for some people.
00:36:31
canadiantimetraveler
Whew.
00:36:36
canadiantimetraveler
Well, was off that day.
00:36:37
Chris
ah Yeah. Yeah. There were some people it was like, you can't touch your knees. Yeah.
00:36:44
canadiantimetraveler
Whoa.
00:36:45
Chris
Yeah, I exaggerate.
00:36:46
canadiantimetraveler
That's really bad.
00:36:47
Chris
I mean, I'm sure they could all touch it. Well, there's probably one or two that couldn't. But yeah.
00:36:51
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, yeah.
00:36:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:53
canadiantimetraveler
I just wouldn't even thought of like, like I said, like I didn't think of that as, I don't think of myself as a flexible person in any shape or form. And the cause you know, look at me, you're not taking flexibility when you see this guy and just peak.
00:37:10
Chris
peak power.
00:37:12
canadiantimetraveler
Well, you know, mass pushes mass. So that's a rule.
00:37:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:16
canadiantimetraveler
That's, that's a physics rule.
00:37:20
Chris
Yeah, but I mean, there, i have known our logistics chief in high school, he was a much bigger guy. And he played first base and would do a full split.
00:37:36
Chris
So, I mean, yeah, size doesn't always determine flexibility. And i used to be a very flexible guy. Like, I could do the, like, the Jean-Claude Van Damme, like, split between two chairs thing.
00:37:49
canadiantimetraveler
oh oh
00:37:49
Chris
Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yeah.
00:37:53
canadiantimetraveler
um always problem i'm more I'm afraid of what happens when you can't get out of it.
00:37:59
Chris
It was easy. I leaned forward, put my hands on the floor, and brought my legs in.
00:38:02
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, yeah, yeah, easy.
00:38:03
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:04
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:38:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:06
canadiantimetraveler
Well, my recommendation is everybody work on their flexibility, apparently, because...
00:38:10
Chris
yeah i Yeah, I guess I need to do yoga every day again.
00:38:13
canadiantimetraveler
yeah So this this conversation happened at work one day.
00:38:14
Chris
something.
00:38:19
canadiantimetraveler
And I was saying that like every day when I get up and take a shower, i sit, I stand in the in the shower, I bend down, get the flat back and then bend down every further every day.
00:38:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:33
canadiantimetraveler
And somebody was like, you do that every day? I'm like, to do your people's backs just hurt all of the time?
00:38:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:41
canadiantimetraveler
Like, do you not stretch your backs?
00:38:41
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:45
canadiantimetraveler
I just don't know that I could live like that.
00:38:48
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I shower in chair pose.
00:38:54
canadiantimetraveler
That's good. You should probably.
00:38:56
Chris
Oh my God.
00:38:58
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, you know, work them hip flexors.
00:39:00
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:02
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, i and I don't know. I was just boned by... And, you know, because I i also get... At my old gym, i used get combos all the time because do balance work all the time. I'm like...
00:39:09
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:39:11
canadiantimetraveler
You guys like realize as you get older, balance gets real out of whack. That's how you get you fall and get hurt.
00:39:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:17
canadiantimetraveler
You should just work on these things.
00:39:18
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's one of the assessments is it's like, hold your, you know stand on one leg, hold the other foot, just like an inch or two off the ground and close your eyes.
00:39:32
canadiantimetraveler
Okay.
00:39:34
Chris
And it is surprising how many people can't do that.
00:39:37
canadiantimetraveler
I I can do it for a couple seconds.
00:39:39
Chris
You can do it for longer than that.
00:39:44
canadiantimetraveler
I'm doing it now.
00:39:45
Chris
See?
00:39:46
canadiantimetraveler
Count me.
00:39:47
Chris
um yeah see yeah you can do it for a while yeah yeah
00:39:50
canadiantimetraveler
Still doing it. Still got it. But see, I can go higher. It's easier when I go higher. one of One inch off the ground a little tougher. Ooh, left foot's not scoot.
00:40:01
Chris
yeah but still i mean it's it's crazy that the balance that people don't have you know yeah let's just look at the way that some people stand
00:40:07
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. It's eye-opening to me. Because again, like i said,
00:40:15
Chris
And it's like, you are not standing the right way. Yeah.
00:40:19
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:40:21
Chris
Weight in your heels.
00:40:21
canadiantimetraveler
we sitting
00:40:24
Chris
The hips.
00:40:25
canadiantimetraveler
Or sitting in cars.
00:40:25
Chris
yeah
00:40:26
canadiantimetraveler
That's the one I noticed a lot too. It's like now people all lean back in their cars so fat so far.
00:40:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:33
canadiantimetraveler
It's gotta be bad for you.
00:40:34
Chris
Yeah. i I don't. People fuss at me. They get in the vehicle after me because I usually keep, I mean, my, like the Jeep is like a 90 degree angle almost.
00:40:44
canadiantimetraveler
It's like an ironing board tucked into another ironing board.
00:40:46
Chris
Yeah, I mean, yeah i mean um I sit upright most of the time. So yeah, I don't want to lean back. That's just, i don't like that.
00:40:54
canadiantimetraveler
I used to, my great grandmother used to come visit us all the time. And whenever my grandmother used to visit us, I had to move out of the my bedroom and she would stay in my bedroom. So ah she couldn't sleep on my mattress.
00:41:09
canadiantimetraveler
So we had a piece of plywood that would that would go like a really thick, like subfloors, you know how like subflooring is what, half inch or, you know, three quarter inch plywood.
00:41:17
Chris
Oh my gosh. Yeah.
00:41:21
canadiantimetraveler
And we would put that underneath of my mattress to firm it up for her because she couldn't sleep on a soft mattress.
00:41:27
Chris
Oh my gosh.
00:41:28
canadiantimetraveler
That's how she slept every night for her 104 years.
00:41:33
Chris
See?
00:41:33
canadiantimetraveler
You know, yeah, you know, that might be one of her secrets.
00:41:35
Chris
There's one of the secrets. Yeah.
00:41:39
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Amazing posture, that woman.
00:41:42
Chris
Yeah. See? Yeah.
00:41:44
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:41:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Let's say, I mean, yeah. the whole flexibility posture. I mean, it all ties together. You know, so many people now they have that, you know, what they call it, the tech neck or whatever, where they like lean down looking at their phone.
00:41:58
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, yeah, yeah. From leaning over a computer. because oh Yeah, yeah.
Public Bathhouse Hygiene
00:42:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:01
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:42:02
Chris
It's yeah. Yeah. If you sit up straight and you pull your shoulders back, it's amazing how much better you feel.
00:42:10
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, if you sit in a disposed and just meditate for couple minutes.
00:42:12
Chris
Well, yeah, there's that too. Yeah.
00:42:14
canadiantimetraveler
With your back straightening, you know shoulders tucked back.
00:42:15
Chris
But
00:42:20
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:42:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:22
canadiantimetraveler
I said it was eye-opening to me because I was just... I wouldn't have thought someone who was as physically fit as that person would not be able to sit cross-legged.
00:42:27
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:31
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:42:32
Chris
Right. Now, how about the old man? Was he able to?
00:42:34
canadiantimetraveler
Only when wasn't there.
00:42:35
Chris
oh oh that's right.
00:42:36
canadiantimetraveler
right
00:42:36
Chris
He got transferred.
00:42:38
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. We got moved that day.
00:42:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:40
canadiantimetraveler
But, yeah you know, there's no way he could do it.
00:42:42
Chris
What? Could the Ute?
00:42:44
canadiantimetraveler
ah The long-legged ute was there, and she could, but she was the one who called me weird because I sit in lotus pose.
00:42:50
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:42:51
canadiantimetraveler
She didn't try lotus pose, though.
00:42:52
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:54
canadiantimetraveler
Fair. Yeah. but That's how i sit in the, like, when I'm in the sauna at the gym, at the L gym, I sit lotus pose. Like, i wait I do that all the time.
00:43:01
Chris
Good God. So you give everybody a show?
00:43:04
canadiantimetraveler
Every bit of it, bud.
00:43:11
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:43:11
Chris
sure They should charge. Yeah, they should. Yeah, yeah they should pay you for that.
00:43:16
canadiantimetraveler
That's right. They're getting a show the sauna.
00:43:19
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:43:20
canadiantimetraveler
I'm there to help. No, I wear boxers. I'm in the sauna. might make it in my sauna.
00:43:25
Chris
Oh, I thought you got in the sauna with just a towel.
00:43:28
canadiantimetraveler
No!
00:43:29
Chris
Oh.
00:43:29
canadiantimetraveler
It's not a Greek bathhouse in the seventy s It's a fucking sauna in a public gym. We had that conversation at work yesterday, like about what age, again, you have to be to the old ass walking around naked in the gym locker room?
00:43:37
Chris
Oh.
00:43:44
canadiantimetraveler
And the answer is still not 46. Yeah.
00:43:49
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. God, I saw a video. ah You talk about the bathhouse. It was one of those bathhouses in, I don't know, Italy or Greece or somewhere. That water was brown.
00:44:02
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, of course.
00:44:03
Chris
That's gross.
00:44:04
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:44:05
Chris
That's how you get like diphtheria and shit.
00:44:08
canadiantimetraveler
What you think about these people that jump in mud baths? You think they change that mud out between? It's...
00:44:13
Chris
No. but They say that the mud is, what it, highly alkalitic, so it
00:44:13
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:44:19
Chris
kills anything.
00:44:21
canadiantimetraveler
I saw a video yesterday of a chick farting in the mud bath and a giant bubble coming up, so...
00:44:24
Chris
oh my god.
00:44:28
Chris
What happened there?
00:44:29
canadiantimetraveler
don't care. I don't care what kind of alkaline bacteria is in air. It's disgusting.
00:44:37
Chris
mean, public pools and amusement parks?
00:44:39
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, my chlorine kills everything.
00:44:41
Chris
Does it?
00:44:42
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:44:44
Chris
God. don't know.
00:44:46
canadiantimetraveler
I feel safe on chlorine.
00:44:46
Chris
and Remember we had the co-worker who tried to help his buddy and figured out that you can't poop at eight, or what he say, 12 feet underwater or something?
00:44:56
canadiantimetraveler
Yes. Yes.
00:44:57
Chris
God!
00:45:01
canadiantimetraveler
That man has as a respectable job and kids.
00:45:05
Chris
I know!
00:45:08
canadiantimetraveler
It's crazy.
00:45:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:11
canadiantimetraveler
When he calls me from his new job, and he's I'm like, do people know who you are?
00:45:15
Chris
Yeah. yeah See, now these kids like go to the YMCA for their swim lessons.
00:45:24
canadiantimetraveler
this...
00:45:24
Chris
Just remember, you can't poop underwater.
00:45:29
canadiantimetraveler
there's ah There's still a a sign on the pool. This man not allowed of the pool.
00:45:38
Chris
Uh, yeah. Yeah. I do wish public pools would put the dye in though. That if somebody pees in it, it turns blue or red or whatever. Yeah.
00:45:49
canadiantimetraveler
I can't remember the time went to a public pool.
00:45:51
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. That's why I have a little pool in my backyard.
00:45:53
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:59
canadiantimetraveler
Well, move to the topic dose.
00:46:02
Chris
Topic two. Yeah. I thought you were going to kind of hit on it when you were talking about the horrible movie you watched.
00:46:07
canadiantimetraveler
Oh.
Jurassic Park Movie Critique
00:46:08
Chris
Um, yeah, so i what was it? Friday night. Yeah. My wife was at a concert out of town. So was like, you know what?
00:46:19
Chris
She's that, doing that. My youngest is upstairs, teening. So I'm going to watch a movie. i was like, oh, I still, i haven't seen the newest Jurassic park.
00:46:31
Chris
The was it Jurassic park rebirth?
00:46:32
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, God. Yeah.
00:46:36
Chris
Oh my gosh.
00:46:36
canadiantimetraveler
Sure.
00:46:39
Chris
i I don't well one Scarlett Johansson beautiful young lady I hated her character in 10 minutes yeah I was like what no why would you make me dislike this lady and then there was have you watched it oh my gosh they shoehorn in this family that was sailing across the Atlantic on their sailboat and just
00:46:47
canadiantimetraveler
Lovely woman.
00:46:50
canadiantimetraveler
Sure.
00:46:59
canadiantimetraveler
No.
00:47:09
Chris
Yeah, the whole premise is they have to go to this other island that InGen had, you know, because evidently they had every island in the Caribbean. That they were mutating the dinosaurs because regular dinosaurs weren't cool enough.
00:47:27
Chris
But these were like the ones that didn't work out well, but but but they still had some normal dinosaurs. I don't know. It didn't make sense. But they needed blood samples from the three biggest dinosaurs.
00:47:38
Chris
one from the water, one from the land and one from the air, because that those blood samples were going to let them make this heart disease drug that was going to eradicate heart disease.
00:47:42
canadiantimetraveler
to make a Pokemon.
00:47:51
Chris
I'm like, well, the science isn't sciencing there.
00:47:54
canadiantimetraveler
what What would dinosaur blood have anything to do with human heart disease?
00:48:01
Chris
Because these dinosaurs were the biggest of their species, so their hearts were stronger.
00:48:09
canadiantimetraveler
It's not a... It's not a... People...
00:48:14
Chris
see i know know
00:48:15
canadiantimetraveler
People don't have heart attacks because their muscles aren't strong.
00:48:21
canadiantimetraveler
And why wouldn't you just go to a blue whale and take the blue whales? Because at least that's a mammal. A blue whale is bigger than any dinosaurs ever lived.
00:48:32
canadiantimetraveler
So why wouldn't you just take a blue whale's DNA and if that was your...
00:48:39
Chris
and it had to be from a live specimen because the blood hypercoagulates and breaks down seconds after a dinosaur's death but no no that's not how things work yeah yeah yeah
00:48:54
canadiantimetraveler
Or just inject heparin in it. I mean, it'd be fine. ah Well, I want to live like to be 200, so I just inject tortoise blood in my ass?
00:49:05
canadiantimetraveler
Is that how that works?
00:49:07
Chris
yes
00:49:08
canadiantimetraveler
Lobsters are functionally immortal, so I should just inject lobster DNA in myself?
00:49:14
Chris
Well, yeah, because it's blue. Yeah, i I, I, well, oh, and the whole, you know, it's got to be, you know, the blood, but from the, the avia, the, uh, Quetzalcoatl.
00:49:27
Chris
Oh no. They took it from one of the eggs and he goes, well, I have to make sure not to rupture the membrane. I'm like, you're sticking a needle into an egg.
00:49:39
Chris
You're rupturing a membrane.
00:49:43
Chris
And this needle, it was like a so it was like a 14 gauge needle.
00:49:43
canadiantimetraveler
You know...
00:49:48
canadiantimetraveler
Fair. You know, look, there's a suspension of disbelief when you watch the first Jurassic Park, right?
00:49:56
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:49:57
canadiantimetraveler
But... It's not that the science, well, a lot of the dinosaur science was wrong, but like the concept at least checks out a little bit.
00:50:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:08
canadiantimetraveler
Oh, they're preserved dino DNA in its blood samples.
00:50:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:12
canadiantimetraveler
I mean, it would never work, right?
00:50:14
Chris
no right
00:50:15
canadiantimetraveler
But the concept sort of makes sense. Why would you come up with some nonsensical bullshit? All you had to do was put out a dinosaur movie where people were interacting with dinosaurs and the dinosaurs were freaking cool.
00:50:30
Chris
yeah right well and yeah there were these weird like pteranodon looking things but they they look more like gargoyles i guess that was one of the mutants
00:50:30
canadiantimetraveler
That's all you have to do.
00:50:43
Chris
And then the big bad was the D-Rex. It had four arms, or yeah, six legs. Like, it was bipedal, but the front arms were longer, the middle ones were shorter, and this weird bulbous head.
00:51:00
Chris
it
00:51:00
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, but a D-Rex is 15 times not as cool as a T-Rex.
00:51:01
Chris
i
00:51:05
Chris
yeah yeah, that's what I was like, but that just looks stupid.
00:51:07
canadiantimetraveler
Because clearly there's 15 letters between D and T, so clearly the D is 15 times worse than the T.
00:51:09
Chris
That doesn't look.
00:51:16
Chris
uh yeah it just i i was just yeah yeah and like the velociraptors like the scariest thing in jurassic park because they're pack hunters and sneak all around yeah no they weren't in this yeah but i i it ah well why did i actually watch this movie
00:51:29
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. well
00:51:35
canadiantimetraveler
I have a real question. And I'm going to, I don't want to shit on people's. yeah Well, not that, but that's, yes, also true.
The Downfall of Movie Sequels
00:51:43
canadiantimetraveler
well
00:51:43
Chris
hmm
00:51:44
canadiantimetraveler
Has there been a good Jurassic park since Jurassic park?
00:51:50
Chris
No, and I think that's the thing. it's They try to outdo themselves with sequels all the time, and it's like, no. It doesn't always...
00:51:58
canadiantimetraveler
But there hasn't been a good one. Not even one where you're like, that has a glimmer of hope to be as good as the first one. Right? Not one of them.
00:52:08
canadiantimetraveler
Because wasn't one of the Chris Pratt ones, the idea was he was training raptors to be used as military drones or some shit?
00:52:16
Chris
Pretty much, yeah. Yeah, he had a clicker, like with a dog.
00:52:18
canadiantimetraveler
What?
00:52:19
Chris
Click, click. Yeah.
00:52:20
canadiantimetraveler
Right, right.
00:52:21
Chris
yeah uh dogs a small dog but yeah yeah big chicken small dog yeah yeah yeah now
00:52:22
canadiantimetraveler
By the way, raptors are the size of chickens. Let's get the science right. know Big chickens.
00:52:31
canadiantimetraveler
Which, look, big chickens are terrifying. Chickens themselves are terrifying. You don't want to mess with a wild chicken. But I don't understand why they keep making these movies.
00:52:42
Chris
right yeah I don't think they made money off of this last one yeah
00:52:42
canadiantimetraveler
I know why they're making these movies, because apparently they're making money. Okay, great good. Maybe they'll stop.
00:52:52
Chris
yeah
00:52:52
canadiantimetraveler
Like legitimately the last good Jurassic Park movie was the first one, which is, was amazing for its time.
00:52:57
Chris
yeah yeah oh yeah no well i mean that's unfortunately a huge thing e yes oh e yeah yeah yeah which fun fact about the movie when they're coming in on the helicopter and grant
00:53:00
canadiantimetraveler
Wasn't as good as the book.
00:53:07
canadiantimetraveler
Sure. But they like changed some pretty important stuff in the book or the book to the movie. It was like for no good reason. Yeah.
00:53:22
Chris
can't get his seatbelt to work and he ties them together because he finds a way.
00:53:24
canadiantimetraveler
It's because there are two female ones.
00:53:30
canadiantimetraveler
Fun fact.
00:53:31
Chris
Yeah. So, but yeah, I just, I was like, you know, why did, why did people, directors, producers, whatever was sequels always think it has to like, I get you want to improve some things and all that's fine, but you don't have to like go eight times to the extreme.
00:53:51
canadiantimetraveler
But I think my point my point is valid.
00:53:51
Chris
Look.
00:53:53
canadiantimetraveler
I want to see a movie where you bring dinosaurs to life and make them look cool. I don't need anything more than that.
00:53:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:01
Chris
No.
00:54:02
canadiantimetraveler
Jurassic Park was amazing. Look, it was wrong.
00:54:06
Chris
Right.
00:54:06
canadiantimetraveler
We're pretty sure a lot of the science is now saying of it was wrong. But boy, it made dinosaurs look cool. And they were that was all I needed out of life.
00:54:14
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:54:16
canadiantimetraveler
That's all I need of a Jurassic Park movie.
00:54:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:18
canadiantimetraveler
it be It would be like...
00:54:18
Chris
Because guess what? These giant prehistoric animals were terrifying.
00:54:25
canadiantimetraveler
It was just like all the Terminator sequels, right?
00:54:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:28
canadiantimetraveler
Like every time they mess with Terminator, it's like they missed the point of Terminator.
00:54:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:33
canadiantimetraveler
It's an implacable enemy that's terrifying.
00:54:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:37
canadiantimetraveler
Everything after that, you screwed it up.
00:54:40
Chris
Right.
00:54:40
canadiantimetraveler
You just want to see Terminator do Terminator or cool shit.
00:54:43
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In the first one, he's like, he you know, You the Terminators, they won't stop. They won't, you know, they don't need to eat. They just keep coming or, know, whatever. It's like, yeah that's the terrifying part of it.
00:54:53
canadiantimetraveler
Great. That's the terrifying part of the Terror Predator franchise.
00:54:56
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If it's just walking slowly.
00:54:58
canadiantimetraveler
The Alien franchise. As soon as they tried to have...
00:55:00
Chris
Yes.
00:55:01
canadiantimetraveler
As soon as they tried to have sex with the Alien, it ruined the franchise.
00:55:03
Chris
Oh, God.
00:55:05
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
00:55:07
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:09
canadiantimetraveler
Just...
00:55:09
Chris
like ah Predator and Predator 2. Yeah. Let the Predator 2 crazy Predator stuff.
00:55:15
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, Predator 2 is not a great movie, but at least they didn't mess with the premise of the Predator movies. right it was just It was just a thing hunting humans for sport.
00:55:20
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:55:25
canadiantimetraveler
just Boy.
00:55:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:28
canadiantimetraveler
They just keep messing shit up.
00:55:30
Chris
Yeah. it's It's like it's right there. All you had to do was just, hey, oh, we can make the effects look a little bit better. Cool.
00:55:38
canadiantimetraveler
Everybody loves Scarlett Johansson. Everybody loves dinosaurs. But those two things in the movie, you got yourself a a billion dollar franchise.
00:55:46
Chris
Right.
00:55:48
canadiantimetraveler
That's all you need.
00:55:48
Chris
But instead, they cocked it up.
00:55:50
canadiantimetraveler
right they just fucked it up they just you just ah yeah yeah i doubt oh it's tough i can't like everybody complains that comic book movies ruined cinema right like oh nobody wants to watch movies anymore because all they want watch is comic movies
00:55:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:11
canadiantimetraveler
but Is it that or it's just everybody puts out bad movies all the time? yeah And if if I'm paying $27 a person to go to the theater or whatever the heck it is, and 70% of them are drivel and crap, or the other 30% that's not drivel and crap is artsy-fartsy crap that I don't want to watch, then 100% of the time don't want to watch these movies.
00:56:20
Chris
oh Yeah. Right.
00:56:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:39
canadiantimetraveler
It's...
00:56:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:41
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, I just... I feel bad because I really liked the Dune, the first Dune, the the new of the...
00:56:49
Chris
Hmm.
00:56:52
canadiantimetraveler
I just...
00:56:52
Chris
How was the sequel?
00:56:54
canadiantimetraveler
I haven't seen it.
00:56:55
Chris
Oh, OK. Yeah.
00:56:56
canadiantimetraveler
And I really don't have a good excuse for not watching it yet.
00:56:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:58
canadiantimetraveler
But I haven't seen part two and I haven't seen the sequel yet. So I don't, but ah I'm just so worried that they're gonna screw it up that I don't want to watch it. I'm more worried that they're going screw it up and ruin my enjoyment of it.
00:57:11
canadiantimetraveler
Then I am looking forward to enjoying the movie.
00:57:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:15
canadiantimetraveler
And that makes it hard for me.
00:57:17
Chris
yeah no yeah yeah
00:57:20
canadiantimetraveler
but Honestly, the only movies I want to watch these days are comedies because they don't take them so seriously.
00:57:25
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Well, that's why you watched the comedy the other night at work, you know, the fun romp of Anaconda. Which is that a comedy? Well,
00:57:36
canadiantimetraveler
I think to be a comedy, it has to be funny at some point.
00:57:40
Chris
because I mean, the original Anaconda movie was supposed to be like an action suspense.
00:57:45
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um,
00:57:48
Chris
John Voight, one of the best actors.
00:57:51
canadiantimetraveler
something I'm gonna say something and I hope he doesn't listen I'm sure he's a lovely human being Jack Black can't be the main character of any movie I watch
00:57:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:56
Chris
uh-oh
00:58:03
Chris
no he's too much yeah yeah he's that guy that shows up at the party and you're like oh god yeah yeah yeah
00:58:05
canadiantimetraveler
just he's too much it's too much and I'm also gonna say this
00:58:17
canadiantimetraveler
Paul Rudd love love him in a lot of things he's a great supporting character also can't read the movie I look this is not me throwing shade i guess it is me throwing shade it's just for my personal enjoyment not great but it was not a funny movie it wasn't it wasn't funny
00:58:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:40
canadiantimetraveler
It wasn't an action movie, so I don't know what it was.
00:58:42
Chris
yeah Yeah. yeah
00:58:45
canadiantimetraveler
I just got out of it watching that and said, huh, I watched a movie. That's what I felt. Well, that has been watched, and I don't have to watch it anymore, and I can warn others to not watch it.
00:58:56
Chris
ah According IMBD, it's a comedy film. Jack Black and Paul Rudd, two friends who attempt to remake the original Anaconda in the Amazon only to encounter a real giant snake, turning their movie set into a deadly situation.
00:59:13
Chris
It's a meta comedy that's not a reboot, but an original story inspired by the 1997 classic. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't throw this classic word around. Yeah.
00:59:21
canadiantimetraveler
yeah I wouldn't say classic. It's not a classic. It kind of was not a classic movie, even when it came out.
00:59:24
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:59:26
canadiantimetraveler
um
00:59:26
Chris
Featuring Steve Zahn and Tandy Newton, which I didn't really. That's that's how Tandy Newton spells their name?
00:59:32
canadiantimetraveler
I don't who Tanya Newton is.
00:59:34
Chris
I've heard the name before, but T-H-A-N-D-I-W-E.
00:59:42
canadiantimetraveler
Whoa.
00:59:43
Chris
Yeah. Huh.
00:59:45
canadiantimetraveler
Huh. Well, it's definitely a movie.
00:59:47
Chris
Okay.
00:59:48
canadiantimetraveler
And those people are in it.
00:59:48
Chris
It's a movie. ah
00:59:50
canadiantimetraveler
Is what I would say.
00:59:52
Chris
Had a budget of $45 million. dollars
00:59:56
canadiantimetraveler
And made three.
00:59:58
Chris
Probably. It's got 48% on rotten Tomatoes.
01:00:05
canadiantimetraveler
That seems generous.
01:00:06
Chris
high yeah yeah let's
01:00:10
canadiantimetraveler
For my tastes. for for my particular taste, it seems high.
01:00:18
Chris
uh did it to to oh my gosh yeah it made 134 million dollars worldwide yeah yeah yeah
01:00:24
canadiantimetraveler
Holy nuts. Well, it does have Jack Black in it and Paul Rudd. And they're beloved people.
01:00:31
Chris
yeah
01:00:31
canadiantimetraveler
And I'm in the wrong. I just, boy, it was bad.
01:00:35
Chris
yeah i let's see if jurassic park rebirth made money back
01:00:44
canadiantimetraveler
I'm sure it did. i'm the kids They won't make these movies if they if it didn't.
01:00:52
Chris
oh my gosh yeah it had a budget of 200 million it made 886 million worldwide jesus
01:00:59
canadiantimetraveler
Holy nuts.
01:01:00
Chris
jesus it was One of twenty twenty five's highest grossing films. Oh my god.
01:01:07
canadiantimetraveler
Jesus.
01:01:09
Chris
Well, Jurassic Park Rebirth 2 will be coming out.
01:01:14
canadiantimetraveler
Yep. Yep.
01:01:15
Chris
I just... Just go with what you have and make it a little bit better. Don't... Yeah. That's why, I mean, it wasn't a great movie, but Die Hard 2 was fun because it was Die Hard, but in an airport.
01:01:31
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah I would say, and we we talked, actually randomly talked about this at work yesterday. I would say the diehard franchise is,
01:01:44
canadiantimetraveler
is the most true to itself across all of the movies they are not all of the same caliber by any means but they are all die hard movies every one of them you know what you're getting it's yeah john mclean kicking some ass not wearing in shoes yeah uh it's uh
01:01:48
Chris
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
01:01:51
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:56
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:59
Chris
Right.
01:02:04
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:02:08
Chris
See, and it all comes back. If he just went to the right podiatrist, he would find a pair of shoes that fit.
01:02:13
canadiantimetraveler
That's true. That's true.
01:02:14
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:14
canadiantimetraveler
In better news, Keanu Reeves announced that the Constantine 2 script is done.
01:02:20
Chris
Oh, wow.
01:02:21
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, I believe the script is done. i don't know that they've chopped it out yet, but hey, I'm in.
01:02:27
Chris
True. Yeah. God, fingers crossed.
01:02:31
canadiantimetraveler
I mean, feel like they can't screw that up.
01:02:35
Chris
They can. Yeah.
01:02:36
canadiantimetraveler
I don't know if they can. Well, can... well I like the comic book character.
01:02:43
Chris
yeah
01:02:43
canadiantimetraveler
Probably my favorite DC character, right? So I would say, as a fan of both things, it doesn't... It wouldn't offend me if it's not like the comic book. Because the the first movie is not like the comic book.
01:02:57
Chris
No, it's not.
01:02:59
canadiantimetraveler
Right? Like, i don't know why Constantine gets a pass for me in that sense.
01:03:00
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:04
canadiantimetraveler
Maybe it's because I really like that movie. Yeah.
01:03:06
Chris
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was ah it was a fun movie.
01:03:09
canadiantimetraveler
right like If that movie wasn't called Constantine, it would still be a really fun movie with this conversation.
01:03:14
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:17
canadiantimetraveler
We'd still be excited for a sequel if they were just like, Constantinus!
01:03:20
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:20
canadiantimetraveler
you know like it's just right like yeah They made their own thing and it's great and it doesn't have anything to do with the comic book and that's cool too.
01:03:21
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Joe hates the devil. oops ah
01:03:34
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:35
canadiantimetraveler
But to be fair, like what is the Constantine comic? like He's a bit character in Swamp Thing. Right?
01:03:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, he's not a lead man. Well, I think he's got his own comic run.
01:03:49
canadiantimetraveler
He's had his own comic run a couple times, but it always seems to be like he'll have a run as a character and then he'll just show up randomly in other plots for some reason.
01:03:50
Chris
Yeah. But.
01:03:54
Chris
yeah yeah well it's like ant-man or know dr fate or somebody like that you know it's yeah they don't need to be the lead
01:04:09
canadiantimetraveler
Right. Yeah. Which, you again, it's cool. Yeah. But I'm excited for the Constantine 2 movie. I will watch it.
01:04:19
Chris
yeah
01:04:19
canadiantimetraveler
That will be the next comic book movie I probably watch.
01:04:25
Chris
Yeah.
01:04:26
canadiantimetraveler
Because I don't care about the new Spider-Man.
01:04:29
Chris
I got to see it in the new Spider-Man.
01:04:30
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Look.
01:04:32
Chris
Yeah.
01:04:33
canadiantimetraveler
I'm not opposed. It's fine.
01:04:35
Chris
Yeah, I know. It's just, yeah. Yeah. To each their own. It's it it's amazing.
01:04:37
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
01:04:37
Chris
We can, know, everybody can have their own opinion on something.
01:04:41
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, 100%. And clearly my opinion on Jurassic Park, the Rebirth, and both that and Kondo were wrong because they both made money.
01:04:51
Chris
I see. I don't. Yeah. don't know. I don't think that's right.
01:04:57
canadiantimetraveler
Well, Star Wars Force Awakens made a a ton of money.
01:04:58
Chris
Just because it made money doesn't make it a good film.
01:05:08
Chris
a rant for another day.
01:05:10
canadiantimetraveler
It's a raid for another day. But it's ah it fits exactly into our conversation. is
01:05:12
Chris
Yeah.
01:05:13
canadiantimetraveler
You had a thing and you just screwed it up.
01:05:13
Chris
Yeah, it does. Yep. Yep.
01:05:16
canadiantimetraveler
You know.
01:05:16
Chris
Yeah.
01:05:19
canadiantimetraveler
And then Daisy Ridley thought she was going to her own career and then was like, oh, I guess I will play Ray because I don' can't get any other roles.
01:05:25
Chris
Yep.
01:05:26
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah.
01:05:27
Chris
Yeah.
01:05:27
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:31
canadiantimetraveler
so So silly. So silly.
01:05:34
Chris
Yeah.
01:05:36
Chris
Now I'm sad.
01:05:38
canadiantimetraveler
Well, I'm not terrible.
01:05:40
Chris
Yeah. yeah But everybody's doing well. Hopefully the smart weather is leaving us.
01:05:49
canadiantimetraveler
but Well, according to my weather app, it's supposed to be cold again on Thursday. Cold and rainy and windy.
01:05:55
Chris
Oh, yay. Yep. God, the fucking kite enthusiasts.
01:06:02
canadiantimetraveler
Well, folks, enjoy the rest of Smarch.
01:06:02
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:05
Chris
Yep.
01:06:05
canadiantimetraveler
Let's hope April finally turns the corner. i'm I'm really hoping that we have a spring this year instead of just directly into summer.
01:06:13
Chris
Yeah, spring would be nice.
01:06:14
canadiantimetraveler
Yeah, so, you a couple 60-degree days instead of right to 85. Yeah.
01:06:20
Chris
Yeah, that would be splendid.
01:06:26
canadiantimetraveler
Make sure you check your Smarch detectors because you did turn your clock back.
01:06:26
Chris
that
01:06:29
Chris
Yep. No, forward.
01:06:31
canadiantimetraveler
forward whatever you did.
01:06:33
Chris
Spring forward. ah Take care, folks.
