Welcome to the show. Hey, Episode 71, Infinite Weekend Podcast.
Josh:Oh thank you, got a big crowd tonight, oh yeah.
Josh:A lot of drunk folks.
Zach:B-O-B. We don't serve.
Josh:Yeah, no, but no, we're back. First time listening. Welcome. Episode 70, I think, did really well last week. I enjoyed being back. I went back and did listen to it. So there's a few things that I was like we haven't done this in a while. The audio sounded incredible, but I could tell myself. I was like we'll get back in the swing of things.
Zach:I didn't notice too much.
Josh:No, what was funny is I told somebody. I was like, yeah, it's our first time back in a while, so we tried not to do too raunchy. And then the first 10 minutes I think we talked about shitting, I think I said, and it was a mistake.
Zach:I didn't even mean to say it. I had two thoughts in my head at the same time and it came out as ball queef. That's what it was Not shitting Ball queef.
Josh:I was like okay, we're back like 100%, Pretty much. I haven't heard from anyone yet. I know it's been downloaded a little bit, but I have not heard from my usual people how they enjoyed it.
Zach:Okay. Did you hear good things? Bad things? No, good things Okay good yeah. Some critique stuff. Well, not critique, but just like funny little ha-ha moments.
Josh:Okay good, just wanted to tell you about. I listened to well, you remember I used to listen to all of them. I don't do that anymore, but I listened to probably half of this one and it was good. Audio sounded crystal clear. It was awesome. Yeah, I like these new mics. Oh yeah, all the new equipment's great and the chairs are great. The video I went back and watched the video.
Zach:I didn't realize it was crooked. It was a little crooked. I watched it and I was like fuck, it was a shitty little stand we got. Well, we weren't even going to do video.
Josh:No.
Josh:I just I used different clips.
Zach:We were just kind of like fuck it, just throw it up, and who cares?
Josh:But then I tied the streaming, so if anybody games we're on, I'm on Twitch, so is Zach Zach's on Twitch as well. That, and we streamed like two hours.
Zach:Yeah, and that's we're going to have to figure out. I was thinking about this. I'm still learning that whole landscape Well, whenever you posted on the on the the Instagram Infinite Weekend Instagram, and then you tagged ourselves like our personal accounts that were streaming, but on streaming were different. So I was like I was trying to figure out how to tie all that in together.
Josh:It's funny you say that I was trying to figure out.
Zach:So I can't, because you're ShortFuse on gaming and I'm Mr Creepy Hands.
Josh:Well, I changed. Instead of ShortFuse Gaming, I changed it all back to Infinite Weekend. Yeah, but your handle. I can't change my handle on Twitch for two months.
Zach:I mean you should keep it ShortFuse. Well, I'm going to.
Josh:I can change mine. My name can say the same, but I can change the actual Twitch page.
Zach:Okay, we can. Okay, yeah, I can't change it yet.
Josh:I didn't going into this. I didn't know we were going to combine them. I was going to do something like obviously, like segue into it on there because we game together.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:But I've done everything on Twitch so you can find us on all there. Yeah, yeah so, and I've changed our Instagram around. Instagram looks better.
Zach:It's almost like I was thinking like we have these, we have our game gamer tags and then the, the streaming channel, and then we've got this podcast and, as we were, just as ourselves, yeah. Right, so it's, it's. It's almost like we're porn stars and we have porn names and then we have regular names, that's correct.
Josh:Yeah, pete Jones.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:Yeah, it was well, I'm doing all that and somebody at work what was it? What are you doing? I said, just finding something else to do to keep up with. Yeah, I said so. It's. Streaming is dope. I really. It's just like doing this, but I'm playing one of my favorite video games. It's cool.
Zach:Yeah, pretty much.
Josh:And that's what Amber and Justin Farrell's.
Zach:I saw Justin do it.
Josh:Justin streams as well. I think he does a lot of old school games. He does a lot of Metal Gear Solid and, I think, some other games. But yeah, he's got a pretty nice little following.
Zach:So let me tell you I could probably look it up for the audience so you can see it yourself. Remember, I was telling you, I'll just tell this for the audience. But after we jumped off streaming that day I kind of poked around to see I hadn't been on Twitch in a few years. Last time I was really on there was when I played Destiny 2 of Hardcore back in the day and we would stream when we were doing a raid or something like world.
Zach:We're trying to. We never got worlds first, we're never good enough, but day one raids would come out and we would do them and uh, as a, as a group, and we would stream for the other people in the um clan to like check it out. That's the really only time I've streamed since I was a couple years ago it was uh, it's cool, it's fun.
Zach:So I was just kind of jumping on there to be like you know, what's it? What's that? What's changed? What's it like now? Well, I remember there was a few years ago there was a big thing about with twitch where it was getting invaded by uh thoughts. Essentially, you know, half naked women, I love half naked women, but, like time and place right sure uh, like you're invading this kind of like gaming sanctuary just to be a hoe. You know, save that for instagram or whatever, but you know it's fine, it was well received it.
Zach:Yes, right, I mean they didn't go anywhere. In fact, now there's a whole section for them to, to kind of like I'd be isolated away from the rest of the game. They're kind of pioneers kind of, I guess, but it's just, you know it's. They're like locusts, they just uh whatever they just invade and then they stick around, I guess well, it's because they're demographic, they're an invasions, invasive species yeah I guess we'll watch hot women do anything right, so um whatever so they're invaded twitch.
Zach:And so I was like, and so I was going down that rabbit hole, of course I checked, I checked out a few. I was like she's hot, she's hot, she's, you know.
Josh:Did you use bookmarked? Yeah, bookmarked, I was like save follow subscribe.
Zach:Right, nice, send a little tip or whatever. I didn't do all that, but anyway, send a tip. Yeah, it's gotten even, but it's a lot more prevalent now. And I came across a string and it's actually like a group of like eight people, a string of videos and tons of content on Twitch of this people doing VR, but their characters most of them are men, men playing VR, but their characters are anime women with big titties. Their characters, most of them, are men, men playing VR, but their characters are anime women with big titties.
Josh:Or a fox.
Zach:Half naked or fox whatever, with big titties, like it's really weird. And they're like dancing around, they're doing whatever the fuck in this world. They're, you know, having a little pool party, whatever the fuck, and it's just some dude named jose his voice. Well, the whole thing was well. We sent those videos and they have when I was when I was the one that was live at the time had like two 2500 people watching this. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Josh:I've never had more than like 12, I think, everybody. We had four the other night and two of them were yeah right. I think everybody is just looking for somewhere to like belong. I guess it's just wild to me. Yeah, which is I mean? Hey, whatever makes you happy, like I don't know?
Zach:No, I said there's a peg, for you know every hole. It's just the pegs and holes are really fucking weird these days 2,500 people yeah.
Josh:Watching a dude dance around as a big titty damn anime chick. Yeah, in a virtual world, that's where we're going. We saw those videos that we sent where it was. Those dude was like trolling the vr rooms.
Zach:Yes, yes, the furry, furry vr is a thing the guy's like if you don't stop coloring people, you have to leave. He's putting colors on those characters you know I was thinking one of my favorite movies recent favorite movie is is Ready Player One. And you watch that movie and you're like, oh, this is awesome, I would do all the same things. It's very nostalgic. It hits a lot of callbacks to 80s movies and even Gundam anime.
Josh:You're playing your gaming character.
Zach:It had Mechagodzilla in it Like it's just a bunch of stuff, right.
Josh:In reality, it's going to be what I saw on twitch. It's gonna yeah, there's gonna be a sector. It's gonna be disgusting, disgusting. Yeah, it's gonna be the haptic feedback suits 100, the whole thing.
Zach:It'd just be a bunch of sweaty horned basement dwellers in those fucking haptic feedback suits, you know, fucking rubbing all on each other as foxes and fairies. Yeah, is what it's going to be. Yeah, that's what it's going to be.
Josh:For sure, I mean, there'll be a place for it.
Zach:Sure, I mean someone. Yeah, someone will. There'll be a market for the sanitize, whatever but I'm telling you, even the people that would probably, you know, enjoy like the sanit, you know whatever just hang out.
Josh:Would you go check it out?
Zach:Yeah.
Josh:Yeah, it'd be, it'd be hard for our curiosity. I could be hard for our gaming party not to go check it out.
Zach:A hundred percent. Like you got to check it out, right Cause I'd be. First of all, my curiosity would get the best of me, yeah, and then two. Once I got in there, I just want to troll.
Josh:What do you? Well then, that bears the question Just like that video. What are you going to be into next? What are you getting there? And it's really awesome. That's what I'm saying. You won't be able to go to the zoo anymore. You'll see animals that you got all weird Right.
Zach:See what you're saying, what you're trying to tell me, like I'm going to get infected into the furry culture Dude.
Josh:Is that what you're saying, man? There's a clip that came through on my algorithm of a dude that was, I guess, a furry, not like in a sexual sense, but he was standing there and I guess he explains how it all works and what to expect on your first fur con, and I couldn't help it. But I stayed for a second because I was curious, like let me just see what it takes to get to one of these fur cons. Yeah, I mean mean he went into a full thing like how to package your suit like and they're expensive ass suits like these aren't like this is like a full real deal mascot. He was like you have to make sure you brush it. And then I realized I'd been there too long, I was learning too much.
Zach:You've learned too much. Right, there's some thumbs. Did your, does your algorithm ever?
Josh:fuck you over like that. You just stumble on something that you never even had a thought of yeah, and, and you stayed.
Zach:Yeah, the dudes as anime chicks.
Josh:Well, I meant when you're doom scrolling. Is that on your? When you doom scroll too? The same thing. Well, I mean, I guess I was doom scrolling Twitch, but yeah, oh, okay, yes, okay, I had one of the day of some junior in high school, some kid that I think he's gay but he comes off. This sounds like it, but he like does makeup. Like uh, james charles, yeah, but not like extreme, but the dude's just like like the first video I ever saw those make me uncomfortable well, I stuck.
Josh:I couldn't help it, I stuck around.
Josh:It just doesn't look right because he's just some, you know, just I think he's like a junior high school kid. He was just like just get ready with me for junior tryouts for football. And I was like I better stick around for just a second and I'm like this can't be real. And the dude and y'all listening, like I'm sure you've seen the kid and he's putting on makeup, like I looked at my wife, I was like is he putting that on right? And she's like he's doing that right, probably better than I do. I said okay, so he's putting on makeup to go to football tryouts, yeah, yeah. And of course, as soon as I got there, I saw the comments for like 2500 and I was like straight to the comments to watch people.
Zach:Just that's a whole thing. Now that's a whole makeup or comments dude dudes doing makeup like tutorials and like full-on like makeup. Whatever james charles started that whole thing yes, big.
Josh:that's the guy that pretended when his shirt came down he had breast, something like that. Yeah, there was a video that showed that. There's a.
Zach:He's a real pretty man. He hangs out with Jason Derulo.
Josh:Isn't he like a real pretty guy?
Zach:He looks like a little twink to me.
Josh:But isn't he the guy that became like the first cover girl Like?
Zach:And it started this whole like thing with. I mean, it used to be, I don't know, only like maybe 10 years ago. It wasn't. There was probably, you know, some guys here and there that would do it, but it never was as big as it is now. The only guys that would wear makeup to that degree was like drag queens if they were actually in drag.
Josh:That's not good makeup.
Zach:Right, even gay dudes wouldn't wear that much makeup. That's true. Now it's like a whole fucking thing.
Josh:It's just gotten out of hand and the fingernail polish. Have you seen a lot more dudes with their fingernails painted?
Zach:Well, fucking Burt Crusher's got his damn toenails painted black.
Josh:I cannot take him in small doses. That's all I got out of that day, Kyle and I and our waiter. He looked like a washed up 80s hair metal band guy, but he had his fingernails painted black.
Zach:Well, it's actually a thing in the NFL now.
Josh:Is it?
Zach:Caleb Williams paints his fingernails and it's now caught on to other. Can't do it. There's a wide receiver at Alabama. He paints his nails now. I can't do it so like um I don't know these trends.
Josh:Harper would eat me alive oh yeah, she would, she'd what the fuck are you doing 100?
Zach:but something about the a dude just like fully, like dolled up or whatever. It's just well, it's off-putting. So let me ask you or not, I don't care, it's just I'm glad we got on this journey because I have some things to add.
Josh:Um, I recently went to the nail salon. Callie had to get her um nails done and I was sitting there just hanging out. Well, I noticed there was a massive influx and dudes not gay looking dudes, just regular dudes coming out with their girlfriend stuff and all getting like petties. And man I was. This was like six dudes and some of them were like quote-unquote, like gangster, looking like kind of thug. But, like I told guys, it's really hard to look tough that's what I'm saying.
Zach:Your feet dipped in the water, it's, it's a thing, but they're and they're like.
Josh:They walked in and like, yeah, me too I'm like. I looked around loud and I was like am I the only one not getting my what's happening here?
Zach:It's like metrosexual has gone mainstream.
Josh:Well, I'm actually probably going to get my hand, my finger done when I go back.
Zach:Well, I mean, like I don't Just clean them up, man you know if, if you're, if you go about it as like, as like, Just be a dude, it's like getting a haircut, like treatment or whatever.
Josh:It's.
Zach:Like these shit's kind of busted. Let me clean them up. That's right, but if you like, I don't know, starting getting into, like the fancy. I don't know, I don't know anything about nails?
Josh:Oh, I've had mine done. I had a pedicure done once with Kyle when we first got together and it is incredible.
Zach:If you've never had your feet done, the whole thing is cool. I think where I would draw the line is calling it a pedicure, it a petty, oh, okay.
Josh:Well, that's for our listeners. It's called a pedicure.
Zach:We have a 28% Say a pedicure. It's a little bit more procedural.
Josh:No, it's a mani and pedi.
Josh:More you know medical, it's a little more scientific. No, it's a mani and pedi. When you say mani and pedi, it sounds like you're getting manhandled by two dudes.
Zach:It means I'm a regular yeah Petty.
Josh:Either way for our 28% female listeners, manny and Petty. Yeah, no, I've had my feet done, but I have my hands done as well. Like cleaned up, I didn't get them painted but, got them cleaned up and stuff Did it. I mean, like you said, I like going to the barbershop, I like my face serums and ointments and all that shit. I don't mind I don't go regularly.
Josh:But if I was there and they're like you want yours done too, I'm like fuck, I'm already here. I got to sit here anyways. Yeah, so what's? 20 bucks?
Zach:I mean it's not that big of a deal. Yeah, I suppose you should try it.
Josh:We'll go together card I don't know.
Zach:I feel like that's like subversively gay. You can borrow my wife, okay garrett's done that.
Josh:Garrett's barred my wife when I got my first sports car, my mustang sure I'll do that I brought it to ever.
Josh:Told you a story about what happened yeah yeah, test drove and he said I said, you want to drive it? He said yeah. He said do you mind getting in the back and let your, like kylie, sit up front? I said, yeah, I guess you can borrow my wife and the car. He's like it just looks better. I was like, yeah, man, you're not wrong, go ahead. So he did, yeah, it was awesome. Yeah, there's a lot of dudes in there. I guess that's a thing. But I don't. I don't know what's going on. That's a. I can't do the makeup thing. Well, I wouldn't.
Zach:I wouldn't uh be opposed to you know, a little self-care, doing like some spa treatment or whatever I mean, I've mean. I've gotten a massage. Of course I'm not gay about getting a massage or getting I don't want to say facial but some skin treatment. It's awesome.
Josh:Or whatever. That's fine, it's a great time.
Zach:I don't know, Manny Petty especially if you say that is maybe a bridge too far for me.
Josh:No, I don't know. You just got to own it. Like I said, I have to treat it like it's.
Zach:Like you know I've got a fucked up toenail or something. I got to go get it fixed.
Josh:Dude if I called you and said I just had a man. He paid down and the girl is super fucking hot. You'd be like where is it? That's also true.
Zach:If there was, like you know, they're doing a makeup tutorial for dudes. The girl's doing it is really hot I'd be like sign me up.
Josh:Yeah, I mean, we've said it before Hot people make everything better. That's true, you're not wrong, I know.
Zach:You're not wrong.
Josh:There is a coffee place here in town that has the barista thing, However speaking of, I'm going to show you.
Zach:I'm going to show you a picture.
Josh:Okay.
Zach:Talking about extremely attractive women and coffee. As soon as you say coffee shop, there is a coffee shop that is kind of near where I work. It's actually a little out of the way, if I was to be quite honest, on my way into work, but sometimes I have to drive out that way and there's a girl at this coffee shop and Can I see the picture You're fucking leaving me on here? Whenever she, you know, I pull up to order coffee and she pops out of that drive-thru window and, like my brain shut off.
Josh:That's good, because she was so attractive. Did you get her number? You should ask her out no. Tell her you're a manager.
Zach:Oh yeah remember you should ask her out. No, tell her you're a manager. Oh yeah, that'll do it for her.
Josh:No, she's, she's definitely too young for me, but oh man, yeah, let me find this girl, okay, well, you already found her yeah, duh, dude, I'm proud I've fucking, I've already checked out that damn linkedin.
Zach:You know I'm saying I'm I've always, always down there.
Josh:I like it. You want to see. If you want to hire, that's it. That's just. Uh, check out a few of those.
Zach:I'm going to see what you got.
Josh:Where does she work Coffee shop?
Zach:Okay, um, let's see here. Try not to give out too many details, I'm not.
Josh:She's very young. Yeah, I mean she's legal. Let's, let's for the audience.
Zach:There's a recent birthday picture. She's like 21.
Josh:She is 21. You're right, who's that fucking tool? Her?
Zach:boyfriend. I don't care about him. He's probably gay.
Josh:Probably. So I've yes, yeah, I guess if she popped her head out the window, she definitely it's closer to her natural area.
Zach:So I think she commutes in, but she's you, but she doesn't fit. You know what I'm?
Josh:saying she's the hot girl making sandwiches. 100% yes.
Zach:And so, anyway, I've been obsessed with this coffee for a while now. And now I've kind of told coworkers and I was just like y'all, I've got to go to this coffee place. And now it's like a thing. Now we're like you want some coffee, yeah, I want some coffee, let's go get some coffee. And it's like 11 o'clock. It's like 3 o'clock, whatever, and we go there just to get in. When she's not there, she's our off day.
Zach:We're like, ah fuck, I don't even want coffee ask you like, if you pull in, she's out there.
Josh:Like I changed my mind, I brought some from home.
Zach:Yeah, pretty much here's your favorite, like no, yeah, so see I will go out of my way to a coffee shop when I don't really need or want coffee just to get a glimpse of this chick. That's kind of, I mean, sounds desperate. She sounds terrible, but she is that attractive, she's good looking, um that you know we'll do weird things as dudes.
Josh:I used to flirt with the girls at Panera on Wilma years ago to get free coffee.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:One of them had a bit of a wandering eye, but I think she got it fixed, and the other one was really cool too. Where was it wandering? Uh, a different direction than forward. Um, but yeah, that was those two girls were really nice. But yeah, those two girls were really nice. I used to get free coffee.
Zach:That was fun, yeah Well, I mean, I go to Dutch Bros so much they know my order I've pulled up before and they're just like I got you and they scan my app and then move on. I don't even ask me, I don't tell them the order, they just know what I get, because I get the same damn thing every time. It's super basic and I'm going to sound basic when I say it, but it's medium. I don't like too much coffee in the morning. It's a medium hot Americano with 2%, that's it.
Josh:Super basic. I went there one time to get coffee and it tasted like ass, but Kylie likes it a lot.
Zach:I may have ordered it, I just got a regular.
Josh:I just got a regular. I just want a hot coffee. It's a drip coffee.
Zach:Oh, so they don't have drip coffee.
Josh:Yeah, that's why it tastes like shit.
Zach:The drip coffee is an Americana. Yeah, which is just espresso and hot water.
Josh:I would just make it at home.
Zach:And you can't, and I think maybe it's because of I gotcha um and it might be a tad too strong if it's a small, so medium is just perfect.
Zach:Okay, um, see this, this is a large right here. You have found the balance. I found the balance. Okay, this is, you know, uh, I've uh many tries before I got to where I've. This is my kind of consistent order, um, and sometimes I'll shake it up and, you know, get like a cold brew. Whatever they actually have, the for me, I think their cold brew tastes the best. Sometimes, places that have cold brew, it's just too sour, I don't know how to describe it. It's too blonde, like a blonde roast or something. It just doesn't sound right. It doesn't taste right.
Zach:It's got like an acidity to it. That's just not good.
Josh:I don't do light roast anymore. No, I'm a medium or dark.
Zach:I like it more earthy, dirty, dirt kind of taste.
Josh:I prefer a dark roast myself.
Zach:So that's the reason why Dutch Bros does have good cold brew, because it does still have an earthy coffee taste. It doesn't have that acidic kind of sweet taste that some cold brews taste like.
Josh:It tastes like they put a bunch of lemon in it or something You're talking about, when it has a floral. They almost do like the.
Zach:I don't know why I'm the same way.
Josh:I don't like the. I like a hazelnut. There's like an almond to it.
Zach:I want something a little more gritty, a bit nutty.
Josh:A little bit nutty. Yeah, I prefer that myself. I don't like the floral arrangement.
Zach:Okay, so we're on the same page. So Dutch Bros is like. I've tried cold brew all over Everywhere.
Josh:I go.
Zach:I usually try to do their cold brew, because it's usually quick, it's easy, it's. You know you can still put bullshit in it or whatever.
Josh:but you know it's a good cold drink. Shit from the yard.
Zach:Instead of having, like an iced latte which is mostly milk Correct, you know what I mean? I do a cold brew and just a little splash of cream or milk or whatever. I'm trying to get off the cream thing because I didn't realize for the longest time.
Josh:I think we talked about this before we did last episode, last episode.
Josh:I didn't realize it was like half fucking seed oil, cotton oil or whatever the fuck, and I'm like what the hell?
Zach:It's not good at all. I had no idea. I thought, know what I thought, but um did you try the chobani creamer yet? I'll have to bring you I told you, I just do two percent do fair.
Josh:Well, just for me, try it. Okay, I'll bring you something. You have to bring me some because I'm not gonna buy it I know you won't, but I'll bring it. You can try it. It's good.
Zach:I think you really like it well, I mean, you know, I don't do sweet stuff, so well, it's not.
Josh:This is just cream. It'll taste like just I was just cream half and half. But it's't have all the bullshit, I'll bring you some.
Zach:Okay, you have to bring me some.
Josh:I'll bring you a little vial of it. You can try it. If you hate it, throw it out. Whatever you want to do, Okay.
Zach:All right, Cause I yeah, I've been trying to cut out the bullshit and I'm doing pretty good so far, I haven't really weighed myself cause I don't care. I don't give a flying fuck if I'm like two 30 or one 70, I don't care.
Josh:You know if you were one 70, I'll know when.
Josh:I'm one 70 on the way I feel and move and everything. And look and look.
Josh:I mean that'll yeah.
Zach:I hear you because you know I'm creeping 40. I got two more years. I'm 38 years old and now you really do. There is a different mindset now into getting healthy and working out. It's not about like looking good naked anymore, which is cool, that's fine, or whatever. It's about fucking feeling good.
Josh:Yeah, and you are what you eat. You got to figure out. I mean, look good, naked will come. I mean, obviously we all want to look good naked when we grow up.
Zach:Yeah, that's a secondary thing, that's correct. No one's looking at me naked anyway.
Josh:But feeling good, being able to do the things you want to do without feeling like shit. That's it. Like Jacob said, it best my brother's gotten on another workout path, him and his girlfriend but he was like I got well. You think he said it in chat. He was like I got tired of just being weak at everything.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh:And I called him and he was like yeah, dude. So I just I got winded doing everything, like I get just tired of it. I was like yeah, dude. So that all jacked up like yeah, it's cool, but like it's fine.
Zach:You also need to remember like be realistic I'm not just too much you I'm talking about everybody in general in the gym culture just have realistic goals yeah, I mean, I look, I already know what it takes to look like that and be all cut up.
Josh:I don't have time for that I don't have.
Zach:I don't have them, I don't have the drive for that that's a whole like lifestyle that I just don't care to do.
Josh:I'm not stage ready, I'm not going to walk on a stage, I just want to feel good. And then like obviously I don't want to let myself go to shit because I don't want to be that way, but like I just do it now because it's just a part of so, as Ian, it's just part of your.
Zach:You've always been that way.
Josh:So as as yeah, and it was, it's just part of your.
Zach:You've always been that way. It's like, you know. For you it's like brushing your teeth. Yeah, you know what I mean. For me it's I'm not like that. So I've had I'm having to learn to. I've had, I've had, you know, ups and downs and spurts here where I've done really well and then I fall off the wagon. Yeah, just like. But the motivation, like I said, is just not to get all cut up and look good naked. It's to feel better, have more energy. But also the other thing that's kind of in the back of my mind, like I said, in relation to my age, I'm almost, you know, a couple years I'll be 40, and things start to snowball and eventually I'm going to get to a certain age where it's a lot harder to stay in shape and whatever yes, and so I need to get to a certain age where it's a lot harder to stay in shape and whatever yes, and so I need to get a good foundation because I do not want to be 65 and have all these fucking ailments.
Josh:Yeah, that's funny, it's really.
Zach:You know what I mean. It's funny. You say, dad, I can't move around we went hiking this morning.
Josh:Excuse me, we went rucking this morning on the greenway because the marina was closed. But he was talking about that still flooded he yeah, it's closed. I think it's just mud, I think it's just nasty. Like, don't come down here. The Greenway is fine. Obviously it's not the same right next to the river, but we were talking about because my dad's almost 60, almost he's going to kill me for saying that, but he is, but he's in. No, she's like nothing and he's no.
Zach:No, I don't want to take a bunch of fucking pills.
Josh:He's like I do all natural vitamins and he watches what he eats and exercises. He's not on any medication, no so but in his age bracket nowadays it's you know it's. She was like well, I hope mine's like that when I get to that age. Yeah, I don't like medicine either myself. I don't like going to the doctor. I mean, I have my own stuff I deal with like I have my own. Especially this time of year. Seasonal depression is real, like I.
Josh:I have I have it bad, like it leads to false symptoms, and I have all it's all fucked up.
Zach:I'm not gonna yeah, you are a bit of a hypochondriac I am a hypochondriac and I am a hypochondriac and I have what was the last year? You had that whole bout where, like you were like so that almost fired back up Did it.
Josh:It happens every year. This time of year the last, like five years, it's always happened.
Zach:Really yeah. So is it specifically just tied to weather, like is it being cold and you can't get out?
Josh:Well, I'm already a pretty high. Well, you've done me a long time. I'm already like a pretty I I as I've gotten older now too. So, like I spend probably like 85 of my thoughts are about things that I can't fix or change and it's healthy things that are it's not at all, that are absolutely like it's really crazy. Like that's when I went, that's when I spent a lot of money on all those tests, like I thought I was dying, yeah, and finally that one doctor told me he was was like you've got to find some fucking balance, dude. I'm not giving you a pill, you need to chill the fuck out. That's what he said. So I did and everything was fine. But it's always because all of my hobbies, too, are all high adrenaline outside. Well, most people probably don't find peace and calm in doing high adrenaline stuff.
Zach:Okay.
Josh:Like I'm very calm riding extremely fast to the woods on a motorcycle, like that's a calming sensation for me.
Zach:That's hilarious considering what your job is.
Josh:Correct. I know Crunk tells me that all the time, so yeah, it's always this time of year. That's what happens. I'm a lot more closeted as far as my activities, and the weather sucks.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:And then, by the way I sound, my sinuses are terrible, like all that stuff compounds, and then you just worry about shit. That is so dumb, it's so dumb.
Zach:Like I have this.
Josh:I have an innate fear that, like my family was going to watch me wither away, like I'm going to just shrivel up and die, like I'm going to get some sort of crumble, like before 50, like you're gonna like lose the ability to walk or something like that. Be bed, no just like shrivel up like some chair horrible ailment and just yeah, serious dude, it's fucked up, it's crazy. Yeah, it's bad, dude you are.
Josh:You are a high energy dude I figured you last, last year, when I thought something was going down, like I bought a blood pressure cuff, like I have no prerequisites for high blood pressure?
Zach:I do, actually, I think when I got a physical, like five years ago, my doctor told me or the nurse or I don't know who it was told me my cholesterol was a little elevated.
Josh:Well, like I didn't have it, I've never done so I've never done a full blood panel. I thought about getting one. I was like 35. Did you get one? Did you have a full blood panel done? Did you get one? Did you have a full blood?
Zach:panel done. Actually, I want to do that now that I'm making changes.
Josh:I thought about getting one. I want to do it now.
Zach:So I have a before and an after.
Josh:Well, I was going to, but my problem is if something is not right or if something is lower. I'll obsess over it and I'll end up in a home. So I can't do it. That's what I did whenever I had that whole blood panel done, when I had, when I had my kidney stuff done, because I every couple years several years.
Zach:I get a full with no symptoms.
Josh:I just get a test done that banks, the whole thing, and it's like, yeah, it's fucking perfect.
Zach:I was like, all right, yeah, dude, it sucks, it's so fucked up see, that's there's times that I'll be honest, I wish I had a little bit of that, because that would motivate me to like.
Josh:it's not I, it's not, it's not healthy. I know it sounds terrible.
Zach:I know it's terrible, I know it. I hate that. That sucks, I'm sorry. Don't be sorry. I wish I had just a little bit of it. Maybe not the obsessive part, but you have to be kind of obsessed in order to like maintain that.
Josh:Well, there's bats. I'm here recently. I've been figuring I'm trying to. I'm hoping that, because I turn 35 soon.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:And I'm hoping I don't have another case where I turn 30. You remember that and I thought that was the end. I hope I don't. I don't want to do it again, but I think yeah, but look at your dad. He's still. It's not so much like that it's.
Josh:I don't know it's fucked up.
Josh:Yeah, like I just hope that I find some sort of peace, like I need to find. I don't like hope. As you get older you get comfortable and you just kind of find like I don't want to say find happiness, because I'm not an unhappy guy, like I have nothing bad in my life, like I sound like I don't have trauma.
Josh:Let's just go ahead and get that out of the fucking way. I don't. The trauma is of your own making, it's me. Yeah, I'm my worst enemy 100. Yeah, it's funny you were talking about like don't look good naked. I'm like dude, like I know you say you want all those things, but once you get to a certain level, everything fucks with you. If I have one oreo, it fucking bothers me. Like the other day I was eating carrots out of the bag. I like carrots and my co-workers were like do you ever have anything joyful in life to eat?
Josh:That looks fucking miserable.
Josh:And.
Josh:I was like no, this is it Because I won't lose sleep at night eating carrots. See that's fucking dumb.
Zach:There's the people that get in shape or have been in shape their entire life, and the ones that are like you know. Go and be stage ready on the shelf. There is an obsession. There's some sort of obsession that that's there, that's and you're you can call it. Maybe you know it can be unhealthy for sure, but it's also kept you in like great shape at 35 and crazy to where you go, get a blood work done and they're like you're perfect oh, that's what I, what I, yeah, they did. Yeah.
Josh:I didn't have the full panel done. I thought about getting one you know what.
Josh:I mean See what my testosterone.
Josh:we should do that. We should get the full thing done, Get a workup done. I'm not going to share the results, because if something's wrong I'm going to look at it and I'm like, oh, that'd be nice to be in that level of shape.
Zach:But then I'm watching what they're doing and I'm like it's their entire fucking life.
Josh:It is, they don't do anything else.
Zach:And that's fine for them because that's their passion. Their passion is like it's almost like that millionaire that he spends, like Fuck him.
Josh:That guy, that dude's crazy. He makes me mad. Yeah, I fucking, I don't like, that's what I'm saying. So there's today. There's, this is there's great.
Zach:You know there's levels to it, but I don't know, be all like cut up and like that. There there's a obsession and they have room for nothing else. That guy looks like a vampire. There's people that I've worked with where they you know they have to have. They have to like eat five times a day.
Josh:I used to do all that.
Zach:Constantly doing that kind of thing. It interrupts their day. They can't go to lunch with anybody because they've got a set thing, and so it's just. I don't know. To me that's too much.
Josh:I mean I'm ill-prepped and stuff too, but like, if I'm not going to pass up because most places too unless you're competing, I get it Sure. Unless you're competing, I get it Sure. I mean because you're talking about you're competing and you have to be better than the person next to you.
Zach:Or you're a professional athlete, or whatever.
Josh:But if you're just like the everyday goer, like if someone invites me to dinner, I'm still going to go. If I go to lunch, I'll just get something that correlates with what my standards are, for that I'm not going to pass up lunch with my friend because I have to eat.
Zach:Yeah my friend because I have to eat. Yeah, you know, a bag of carrots, a bag of carrot which I'll bring with me.
Josh:Let's put it in my pocket. They're baby carrots. I can carry them wherever I go.
Zach:They're organic. Yeah, um. Well, I'm trying to find something in between that Not to eat. I don't think I get to your level because you you've cultivated a lifestyle.
Josh:I have a house of ingrip. My house sucks for food. It's just a house of ingredients.
Zach:There's no good shit in there.
Josh:It sucks.
Josh:There's nights when I'm like I want something fucked up and it's like, well, there's a hundred calorie popcorn, Ooh. So, and then I found out like and then I found out Oreos. Do you know that Oreos serving is only two Oreos, did you know you don't care. And then it's like fuck two.
Zach:Two yeah, you got to check the old. When you're looking at the calorie counts on the back, you're like oh that's low calorie. But then you got to look at the serving size and it's usually bullshit. Do the thin ones. I don't like that much cream.
Josh:I like the double stuff. Not mega, mega's too much, but double.
Zach:I'm here for it, I'm into the thin, I like the thin ones.
Josh:We're covering a lot from the wage.
Zach:You did a 100-calorie popcorn bag. Last night I had popcorn as well.
Josh:Did you have the good shit yeah?
Zach:It was like you know, 180 calorie bag or whatever, unpopped or popped.
Josh:That's how they got it Popped. Was there really that much popped? I guess I think you're just reading unpopped Popped should be less calories.
Zach:I think it's in a bag. I mean, who doesn't? What is unpopped calorie count? I don't know what am I going to do, just pop them like peanuts.
Josh:I think you have to separate the kernels.
Zach:I don't understand why even put on the bag unpopped calories. I don't know who's eating them like that.
Josh:Fuck, I don't know. You put them in the ground. I don't know. You want to make some corn in the backyard, did you do?
Zach:Orville Rimbacher, I think.
Josh:Yeah, got the dude on the front of it. Yeah, it's pretty good popcorn.
Zach:So yeah, I got that and it's like extra butter, movie theater butter or whatever. Don't fuck around that shit's good dude, I was feeling a little inspired. What'd? You burn there. So what I did is I melted down half a stick of butter.
Josh:Damn Real. Butter, real butter, damn Real butter, real butter.
Zach:Okay, no, I'm going to do that margarine bullshit. Half a stick of butter, a little garlic, salt and some Parmesan cheese. Son of a bitch, I made me a little garlic. Parmesan sauce, smothered and covered, and I smothered that popcorn and that shit and it was awesome, Damn.
Josh:Yeah, I guess. So Wow, that's impressive.
Zach:So they're probably going to do that. I would go with 180 calories to maybe like 260.
Josh:I would be bubbling, like that microwave goes off if I had eaten that. It was good.
Zach:I enjoyed myself I can't eat like that and I ended up watching. What did I watch? Oh, I watched. I told you about it. It was after I watched the Gorge. I was mentioning Anna Taylor Joy, the menu. The menu and I watched the menu last night. It's good. It's still good. I haven't watched it. It's a crazy movie.
Josh:News for R2 is out on Peacock.
Zach:Okay, good.
Josh:So watch it.
Zach:I think I have. I think I have.
Josh:Brandon's. Watch it, then we can talk about it next episode.
Zach:It's good, all right, I'd like to know your thoughts. Yeah, uh, so I'm getting. I'm uh getting to a point where I was like I just don't want to pay for all, like I'm okay with waiting for it to be free I rented it yeah, I mean some stuff I'll do.
Josh:I rented it like at 11 30 at night. I was bored yeah and I ran. I was like I'm gonna stick it out yeah, and I rented it and then, of course, two weeks later, it comes to streaming. But I will say I think it was worth the rent. I don't think I was disappointed with the 20, 20 bucks or whatever um it depends.
Zach:It's something that that's maybe. If maybe I should do this for nos for a two, but uh like, whenever uh captain america comes to available to rent, I'll probably just rent that, just to get it over with yeah, yep, I'll watch it but then think but you're right, it'll probably like in you. Yep, I'll watch it. But you're right, it'll probably like in six weeks it'll be on Disney Plus for free, anyway.
Josh:It will. That's why I try not to.
Zach:I couldn't just wait, but actually I do want to see it because it does look like it's one of the better ones, although I've heard a bunch of bad reviews about it, but I think that may be people that are it's not a very from what I've read and put together myself just by clips, and I haven't watched the whole thing, but, excuse me, it doesn't seem like a big story.
Josh:It seems like it. It steps for bigger things coming.
Zach:Maybe yeah.
Josh:But to me it sounded more of like a filler film. Not a bad film, but like just a filler movie.
Zach:Not like a, it's a stepping stone to get to get the ball running for the doom Right, you're probably right. So the only the only two things that I've heard that are negatives about it is that it had a bunch of reshoots, which when, when a movie has a bunch of reshoots, extensive reshoots that's usually not a creative differences maybe, or something.
Zach:There's. There's some story change to where something didn't test well or whatever and they went back to reshoot it. That's not a good sign. And the other thing that I heard was that this is a plot element was obviously the celestial that was going to be birthed out of the earth was stopped during Eternals, that's correct, and Tiamat, and so he's like kind of half out of the earth. Was stopped during Eternals, that's correct, and Tiamat, so he's like kind of half out of the earth or whatever. That's where the vibranium comes from. I guess the I can't remember her Cersei, I can't remember who, whatever the eternal character was that could transmute elements. I guess she must have turned him into adamantium. Quote unquote adamant.
Zach:I guess she must have turned him into adamantium, quote-unquote adamantium. That must have been the substance that she transmuted whatever his body was made of into adamantium, and that's what I'm guessing without having seen the movie. But someone says that made a comment, says yeah, they don't really address the overarching problem Like the whole movie's about adamantium and who's going to control and acquire and maintain this adamantium supply that they've all of a sudden come across. It's kind of like the same kind of plot device and plot element as Black Panther had with Vibranium.
Josh:Correct.
Zach:Same kind of thing, which. So their critique was like yeah, we already saw that kind of like play out with Black Panther. So was like yeah, we already saw that kind of like play out with black Panther. So like why are we doing this again? The bigger issue is there a fucking alien was being birthed and about to destroy the earth or the earth. And then his daddy showed up out of a fucking portal who's 10 times as big as the earth. Yeah, that whole and everybody saw it.
Zach:And then he says I'll be back to see if earth, if humanity is going to be. You know we're going to judge humanity, I'll come back and you might get destroyed if he judges you the wrong way. That's the bigger issue.
Josh:Yeah, cause that. Well, we saw theaters together like that. That clip alone. You're like holy shit, this is the first time we've seen a big problem. That was God-level being God-level stakes.
Zach:This isn't Galactus.
Josh:This is.
Zach:Yes, and. I don't know that movie has some. That doesn't bode well for the movie if they're not going to address that. They fumble. They fumbled a lot the last few years.
Josh:They've been fumbling a lot, but we'll see.
Josh:We'll see.
Josh:I haven't seen it. I haven't want to go see it in theaters, to be honest, I just I wasn't intrigued enough to do so, so I did not. I will tell you, if we're on the talking about movies, you probably won't have seen it because it's a thing. It's geared more towards children, obviously, but the wild robot. I gave it a nine out of a nine out of ten. It is fantastic. I have to watch it.
Josh:If you have, even if you don't have kids like you remember wally back in the day like pixar's ball. It was such a good movie this one is it's got a little more dark humor to it. For adults.
Josh:It's kind of funny the kind of things that you'll be watching and you're just like oh but it makes sense to the story and it's done in a way that, like you know, harper's eight um, and we, we all loved it. What I mean? She loved it, it, it was awesome. It's a great movie. That's another one that I forgot to mention. I had seen that one last week. I should check that out. It's good, dude, if you just want a little feel good, kind of a quick, nothing crazy.
Zach:That's what I've heard Speaking of kids' movies.
Josh:I guess teen movies or whatever, let's talk more about teen movies Do you see the trailer Train your Dragon live action, not a fan. Don't want it, not going to go see it While I was watching it.
Zach:it's a shot-for-shot remake.
Josh:It's stupid.
Zach:And I'm looking at it and I'm like why?
Josh:Why is this being made? I'm on the train completely leading the charge. It is a waste of money.
Zach:Giant waste.
Josh:Absolutely. I don't care what I'll die on the hill. I don't need a live action it's dreamworks.
Zach:Right, it's not disney, it's dreamworks of course it's dreamworks. But it's the dreamworks you know, pixar, level 3d animation or whatever, that already kind of look. I mean it's already. It doesn't look cartoony, it already looks kind of real. I mean they're obviously not yeah it's not. It's not photorealistic, but I guess what I'm saying is, if you take the Little Mermaid and then you live action it their world's apart visually the way they look, which they did.
Josh:Yeah, they did.
Zach:I didn't see that but you have Little Mermaid clearly cartoon, and then you have the live action remake. It's way over here on the other end of the spectrum visually, and so you can see why they would want to maybe do a live-action remake of that cartoon style, but something that is already live-action and the animation for how to Train your Dragon is already too close together. It's not that much different, it's not.
Josh:It's almost like a. So what's the point? It's like a high school project. It's not that much different. It's not.
Zach:It's almost like a. So what's the point? It's like a high school project.
Josh:It's weird.
Zach:That's what it looks like to me, and they're like well, we got the same.
Josh:We got Gerard Butler doing the voice. Who did the? I'm like I've already. I've already have relationships with these characters from the animated moon. I don't need. Yeah, looks exactly the fucking same. That's what I'm saying. Take away the people. I'm watching how to Train. I don't need. I cannot believe a studio said we're going to do this. The plan Disney had originally was to take all of the Disney princess movies and redo them live action. I've only seen one good one Cinderella was the best one. I don't care what anybody says.
Zach:I did see that one.
Josh:That one was, if you're going to do one that fits the bill. Looks like that was my favorite one, yeah, but like we've tried to watch some of them, Beauty and the Beast wasn't bad.
Zach:I didn't like Emma Watson just can't act.
Josh:Yeah, she just, he did pretty good.
Josh:I forget his name. He did a pretty good job.
Josh:But I could not get on board with her being Bill. She's attractive, that's what I'm saying, but she'll always be Hermione for me.
Zach:Always be Hermione and really she's not that good of an actress. She's not that great of an actress, I know. Sorry, I just don't agree with you on that, agreed.
Josh:But as far as the movie itself, you take her out of it it actually was fine.
Zach:Yeah, that one.
Josh:Pinocchio, we couldn't even finish.
Zach:Harper's been turned off. I haven't seen that one either.
Josh:She said because the cartoon's better Dad.
Zach:Right, I saw the Lion King was also. That's another one that was.
Josh:The voice acting is terrible.
Zach:It's terrible and it's like, if you're going to do live action, it's still I'm still looking at like a talking lion. I still that feel like when you have a like uh, animals speaking, I don't, it should just better, better served as a cartoon.
Josh:It's just weird being homeward bound made it work sure, but because their mouths didn't correct. But I don't know what you were basically getting their inner dog dialogue or thought I don't know what the motivation is or what the thought is behind the live action stuff. I, that's you know they're doing lilo and stitch at disney started doing I don't know who are we catering to, because this doesn't look good. I have, though, I will say for host.
Zach:So for lilo and stitch, I I don't think maybe it's already out there. They haven't had a trailer yet, have they? They've had a teaser, teaser stuff. That's it. That's right, where you just see stitch, I think and like. And during the Super Bowl they had Stitch out on the fucking field and shit. It was a commercial for it. And I will say this, though I am curious as to who they're going to have play Leeloo's sister.
Josh:Sister With them fucking hips, she won't look as good. It'll probably be a dude.
Zach:It'll probably be a dude that used to be a woman. Hopefully he's got good hips.
Josh:Yeah, there'll probably be a dude that used to be a woman. Hopefully he's got good hips. Yeah, hopefully he looks good Good thighs. Yeah, dude, I'm not on board with the live action stuff. I have a little one that's in that demographic for that stuff and she doesn't like it. She just tells me, like I don't like this.
Zach:Yeah, it's gone too far and some stuff doesn't need to be.
Josh:Like, imagine we're're gonna do a live action remake of toy story. Like how the fuck's that gonna work? It'd be awkward. Yeah, and we're gonna use tom hanks and tim out like what. They're gonna look awful like I'm sorry.
Zach:Well, I mean, I just imagine it would be like a, you know, a real, real woody doll, like a marionette, with the fucking strength, like how you know it's a twisted horror film when you right pull his intestines?
Josh:Yeah, it'd be like a child's play Well you've seen those cartoon clips where it's like we couldn't tell you. We couldn't tell you, Andy, because when we tell somebody you get cancer, Right? You've seen those videos?
Zach:I did, I've seen the ones with videos and clips where it's like Andy is a teenager that's and clips where it's like.
Josh:Andy is a teenager.
Zach:I remember when I was that age. I don't want my fucking toys being self-aware.
Josh:Not seeing what I'm doing? Yeah, 100%.
Zach:Tell nobody Get the fuck out of here.
Josh:You don't need to see my little ass thrusting.
Zach:I have Steve learn to talk.
Josh:Yeah, fuck.
Zach:We've got a pet in the house. It's awkward.
Josh:They give you that whole APC, or whatever they call it, a little grip. The Sarah McLachlan look when the dogs were like shaking in the cage.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:You should donate today and we're like no, no, yeah, it's funny, you talk about the movies. I actually bought Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Zach:The. You seen that a while you should it's good dude.
Josh:I don't even remember what happened. The last time I saw that I was like eight. It's so good. It's spielberg man it's got um.
Zach:So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say something, I'm gonna say something okay that you probably, you're probably gonna disagree with we don't do it often. Let's hear it um, even whenever, even his peak. I'm not a big spielberg, I'm not going to argue that.
Josh:That's your choice. I'm not going to If you would have said he's shitty.
Zach:So for me I think he's overrated. You know, I wouldn't put him in the pantheon of best directors of all time, because I think the stuff that he makes is kind of shallow Well if you've watched.
Josh:I've watched a lot of documentaries.
Zach:It's not very thought-provoking the stuff that he does.
Josh:I've watched a lot of documentaries on Spielberg because I do like Spielberg a lot. I think I like the way he it's like George. I mean, take George Lucas and him. I think Spielberg's in a lot of incredible films like that. They're still hold weight today. But you don't, you know, I don't. I, after I watched a few documentaries about him, I had more respect for him as a director, kind of doing. I didn't realize the things he was doing then different techniques, different photography styles and the way he directed a set, I think is really interesting. Watch one of those that are kind of I'm going to cut it up, but yeah, I don't know if he's like he's one of my favorites, but the films he does are I like, a lot Like me. I've all seen Jaws, jurassic Park Everybody's seen like his, his heavy hitters but here recently, but a lot of but here recently.
Josh:He does a better job producing.
Zach:I don't think he does. It's like Ridley Scott to me. Ridley Scott, he will hit through some fucking bangers, but then he has actually probably to me more misses than hits yeah but Spielberg doesn't have a lot of misses. I wouldn't say misses, we're not talking about like. Shyamalan misses no.
Josh:I know what you're talking about. You're talking about Ridley Scott.
Zach:We talked about last week, where it was like they're like one and dones and they don't really inspire me to watch it again.
Josh:No Right, it's a one off.
Zach:Like Super 8 is an example one. I saw it one time I was like okay.
Josh:We saw that in theaters. I remember when we saw that?
Zach:Yeah, I've seen it. I get that. That's a classic. And as a kid you've seen it a bunch of times, but as an adult I'm like eh.
Josh:Yeah now. Okay, so you're talking about replayability, almost kind of sort of. Yeah, they don't like well, I mean, it's funny. So we were talking about Tim Burton today. I know so his like, imagine, because Kylie was talking to him, because Sleepy Hollow was on this evening. We were watching it.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:And I was, of course, like diving in the woods, Like that's Ray Park who did this choreography and this actor is this. And my dad was like you know too fucking much about this. This is ridiculous. I was like I know, I was like I can't help it. But Kylie was like I love Tim Burton or she likes Johnny De. I've done only a handful of things, but it's like. My dad said he's like well, I don't go back and re-watch Edward Scissorhands.
Josh:I said no, it does not hold no.
Josh:It's carry weight at all. It's weird. It's a weird watch at once.
Zach:That's how I feel about Beetlejuice, tim Burton's. The same way Tim Burton's like you watch it one time you're like that was weird. It's not like Nolan Nolan.
Josh:I rewatched.
Zach:And not just because he did.
Josh:Batman, interstellar, interstellar he's one of my favorites.
Zach:Even his. You could say that it was his one of his lesser movies. I guess you could say it didn't do that well, as well as like Interstellar and other things in the box office. And I can see why because it was fucking hard to follow Tenet. Have you seen that? I to follow Tenet? Have you seen that?
Josh:I have actually never watched Tenet you should watch that.
Zach:It's hard. It's really hard If you watch Inception. I've actually never sat and watched Inception all the way through. You should go watch it all the way through, so that one is a brain bender. We get to the end of it and you're like how did that all tie together? You're trying to figure it out. And then you go and watch things about it and watch videos and do an analysis. I've even seen like a pictogram where it's like explained in like linear and non-linear.
Josh:I need to watch it.
Zach:Same thing with Interstellar Tenet's hard to follow.
Zach:Tenet, usually when I watch a Nolan movie I'll go and find there's someone has created, crafted an info, a pictogram, an infographic uh that explains, usually like in the linear form, the, the progression of the movie as you watched it. But then it'll have like, uh, you know, links back and it'll uh to other events. And you just have to see one uh to where it kind of explains if you were to watch the movie backwards or you were to watch the movie as another character from their perspective, and kind of ties it all together visually so you can kind of understand the flow of how they built the story. And Interstellar does that and I've seen one and when I went to go look at it, usually that one was pretty straightforward by the end of the story and then there's whatever the time jump is when he gets into the Tesseract. That's actually humans. So humans ended up sending back the portal that they got to in the first place all the way at the back.
Josh:So it was kind of a circle.
Zach:Yeah, humans became fifth dimensional beings, built the Tesseract, built the portal so they could get to Gargantua, teach them the gravitational equation. It's like a loop right in how that worked. So that was a pretty easy infographic pictogram to figure out. And then the I think I'm saying pictogram wrong. I think that's something else Infographic.
Josh:It sounds really good.
Zach:That's why I'm not arguing with you, right, but and then Inception is kind of the same thing, it's just different layers of dream state. So you have the top layer, then you have a second layer of dreaming and then the layer above affects the layers below. And so if someone's like in the first layer in Inception is they're driving around in the van and whenever the van shifts their body shifts, so the gravity in layer two shifts around too. I need to watch that, you should watch it. I'll check it out. That one's pretty easy to follow. When I saw the infographic for Tenet it made no fucking sense.
Josh:It's a wild fucking thing.
Zach:That's Denzel's son, one of his breakout films, yes, Basic premise of that movie is someone develops a machine that reverses time.
Josh:Yeah, essentially.
Zach:But only for so long, right, and only for a certain. You know, if you go on the machine you're reversed in time, but you're you're going in time backwards, but everybody else is experiencing time literally going forward, normally, yeah, so imagine that. And it's also like they have to wear oxygen masks, because if you're going backwards, the oxygen is actually leaving your body. You can't actually take it in and whatever, so you have to have an oxygen mask to feed the air.
Josh:So it's a little more scientific, it's weird.
Zach:It's crazy. You should watch it. That one's a mindfuck. And I understand why that one did not do as well. I think for a couple of reasons Because it was too complicated. Yeah, people couldn't quite follow the story, although I thought it was good. And I think that Denzel Washington's son was his name I can't think of his name right now, john David Washington. I don't think he is not a lead actor. I don't think he couldn't carry the movie. Okay, well, I mean he's also got a lot Robert.
Zach:Pattinson was really good, though. Well, he's a people kind of sleep on him. He's a fantastic actor. People kind of sleep on him and he's a chameleon. He's not a joke.
Josh:Yeah, he's like Gary Oldman, he's a sleeper.
Zach:But like Nolan, like those movies I'll watch again and again, and again, because they're so I don't know. They're so thought-provoking, they're so intriguing, they draw you in, it's almost, it's epics.
Josh:I mean really, they're like epics, they really draw you in.
Zach:I just don't get that with Spielberg.
Josh:I don't get that. I definitely don't get that with Tim Burton. James Cameron has something like that too obsessive water. Well, I mean, the abyss is one of my favorite, but he's all balls deep in avatar right now. Yep, um, but his later, his earlier stuff was real good, I mean well, I did, like aliens too for God's sake, he brought the queen on screen, Like I mean.
Zach:So that's one of those ones. So Ridley Scott did, uh, alien, alien 2, same thing Aliens. I'll watch James Cameron, so all those have a lot of replayability for me. Maybe it's just a sci-fi thing and I know Spielberg does sci-fi, but he does it, so it's so geared toward kids. The only thing I think I really like of his that I'll watch again and again and again is Jurassic Park.
Josh:Yeah, close Encounters. I've actually watched probably 11 times since I bought it. There's something about the whole. I don't know. I don't know. I like the whole thing.
Zach:I like Spielberg a lot here would be my metric. Nolan maybe doesn't do this, he's in a different category, I think. But directors, storytellers, let me say that storytellers that create worlds, I think the really good ones. They create worlds that inspire other mediums to take up that story in that world. Right you know what I'm saying.
Josh:Yeah.
Zach:George Lucas, prime example. He created a world, built a world and told a story within that world that other people wanted to mimic. And then you have books, video games you name it spinoffs. Everybody wanted to be a part of that world that he created. To me, that's the sign of a good filmmaker. I mean technically yes, spielberg is probably a great director.
Josh:He's blah blah, blah, blah blah.
Zach:Yes, I get it, I get it, but as far as a storyteller, a world builder, it's just not for me.
Josh:It's not for me, it's a, and everyone like I mean I like. Gerald latour is one of my top three favorite directors, yes, but he's also a niche. He makes some weird shit. He does make some weird shit weird like, but like but everything he makes I like pacific rim.
Zach:That was a good world lady in the water was it lady in the water?
Josh:everybody got all up and armed when he she fucked that that no, that was.
Zach:Was that lady in the water?
Josh:no, that was uh hold on, I said it wrong, it's.
Zach:Secret of Life of Water. No Shape of Water.
Josh:Shape of Water. I love that movie.
Zach:I hate that movie.
Josh:I really enjoyed it. I took it for what it was and I enjoyed it a lot. But he makes Crimson Peak was one that he made.
Zach:That was one that I watched. He's kind of like he makes some.
Josh:Now did you see his Pinocchio? He's kind of like Tim Burton in a way. He has a particular style.
Zach:It's a very gothic style.
Josh:His creature design is some of the best in the game.
Zach:He's got a gothic style to him, a medieval gothic kind of thing going on, and even Pacific Rim had a del Toro style to it.
Josh:The monsters, the kaijus look similar to Hellboy-style monsters. And if you also watch is it Curiosities, cabin of Curiosities that series he?
Zach:did on Netflix, yep. His style, you can tell it's on there, definitely his style.
Josh:I love his stuff. Pan's Labyrinth was great. His two years ago he did the animated Pinocchio film on Netflix Awesome. I think I know what you're talking about I hadn't seen that Awesome, really cool movie. He's one of he's for me, he's my my top three for sure.
Zach:Yeah, there's just. There's probably only two directors that I would. If they make something, I'm going to go watch it. Well, I may have to amend that soon. Is Christopher Nolan. If he's making a movie, I. If he's making a movie, I'm going to go watch it.
Josh:His name alone draws me to that movie. He's doing the.
Zach:Odyssey? Correct, I know, and I don't care about the Odyssey I've seen. Oh no, I want him to tell it to me.
Josh:That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
Zach:Yeah, we've all seen it. I've seen the old one with Armand de Santi.
Josh:Par 1. And 2.
Zach:Yeah, whenever the teacher would wheel out the fucking TV, I was like we're watching. I know what movie we're watching you talking about, ms Myers?
Josh:Yes, yes, yeah, dude, I know which movie we're watching.
Zach:So you know, I've seen that movie. It was an awesome movie. It's a great movie.
Josh:You know, maybe it was awesome because I was watching it in class and wasn't actually doing the work. Was that eighth?
Zach:No, was a bitch. 10th grade, yep english. Yeah, 10th english, she's a bitch. Yeah, she sucked, but she pulled out.
Josh:She hated me she brought that tv out. You know what she said. She pulls it out and she was like this movie that this guy's in it and he's good looking and they're like ew and she was like well honey just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean the fire is not burning.
Zach:I'm like I think she passed away, maybe or she's already retired, I don't know, but she needed to.
Josh:She was fucking hated kid.
Zach:She hated. I know One of those like quintessential, like pretty much chair-ridden, like she was in a motorized scooter at the end there.
Josh:Well, one of the guys in our class put a condom in her coffee. Yeah, not used. I'm going to go ahead and say that she was a total bitch.
Zach:Yeah, I don't know, she was like the trunchbull, she was a bitter old lady, Bitter old lady Fucking tired kids man. She's been a teacher for way too damn long is probably what it is, and she always. There was one word that I heard probably 30 times a day, every day that entire year was behoove, yeah, it would behoove you to get your pencil out right now and I'm like behoove this bitch Right, behoove this dick.
Zach:I know what you're saying, that's cool and then she would always like, when she was talking and she was going on like a rant or she was even scolding you, did she do it to you where she would like look in the corner. She never like looked at you, zach.
Josh:I'll be honest, I'm still afraid to go to the principal's office.
Zach:Okay, I somehow I've maybe been to the principal's office, I don't know, maybe once or twice.
Josh:Dude the first time I pulled a car, I cried.
Zach:But I was always on the edge. I always pushed it. I knew where the boundaries were and I pushed it as far as and I kept pushing the boundary. I did this with. My curfew too was growing up to where I would be like a minute late, and then I'd get in trouble and be like you got to get here. I'm like, oh no, I'm sorry, I'll 1159, I'll be here, blah, blah, blah. And then I just would what was your curfew? Well, let's say it started like 10 o'clock. Mine was 1030. So it would be 9.59, and then I would push it one minute over, and then I would 10 and then 15 and then 30, and be like and so I just kept pushing the goal post and they'd be like, alright, fine 11 o'clock, no later.
Zach:I'm like yes, 11 o'clock, I promise 11 o'clock, no later.
Josh:Thank you, I love you blah, blah, blah, 11.01 11.05 and then it's their fault for setting that time. Things happen.
Zach:You know what I'm saying I tried to be here. I tried to be here.
Josh:Traffic's bad.
Zach:Whatever. I didn't want to speed, I pushed the boundaries until eventually the boundaries was like all right, fuck it, just don't knock anybody up doing drugs. I can't wait to tell your mom that I told her this later. But so I did that at school too, where I, you know, you know cutting up and talking and passing notes. I talked a lot All that. You know backtalk and cracking jokes Like I pushed. You know, when I say backtalk you know a little bit of sass, but fun, respectable sass Respectable sass, you know I kept it.
Zach:I kept myself out of the principal's office and out of trouble, but I got ISS one time. Oh no, I would have cried. I'm pretty sure I've been to the principal's office a couple of times at least, but it wasn't a habitual thing. I never got sent home, never got suspended, yeah, but did get ISS, I think, one time, and that's where I was, like I crawled you did push the boundary too much.
Josh:You did, I was a badass I'm good, no, dude, I I mean the first time I even pulled us. I had to pull. You're used to like pull cards in elementary school I was homeschooled. Oh that's right, okay let me tell you about public school what they would do. Well, when did you get out of homeschool six?
Zach:when did you get out of homeschool? Uh, half of seventh grade. So I started in middle school really like last three months of seventh grade, and then I went right into eighth and ninth, tenth.
Josh:Well, in elementary school, I think it started in fourth grade, fifth, grade Fifth grade I remember vividly, but you had card colors. You had green, yellow, orange and red. You don't want to fuck around with red, bad too. Yellow was like a warning, but every year at the end of the year they would do like an all-star party. So all the kids that didn't get in trouble got to go like to a party.
Josh:So I was like, yeah, dude, well I got, I had to pull a card because some fucking twat I got in trouble with he was actually his fault. But I had, dude, I fucking teared up in that fucking classroom because I want to go to that fucking party and I had to pull a card. Dude, I was so fucked up about it. So, dude, I know I'm ever since just terrified to get in trouble.
Zach:No, way, dude, see it's like uh, maybe that's my man maybe I'll just I'm gonna psychoanalyze you real quick okay, maybe that's the reason why you're like into, you know, adventure sports I don't know is because, in you know, normal life you're actually and yeah, the also reason why you like got all the tattoos, it's because you're actually like pretty straight laced dude, pretty straight edge pretty straight edge and so the only that's the way you rebel. I don't know, just your straight edge and then my haircuts. I told my the tattoos.
Josh:I told Derek I was like dude, I'm having a midlife crisis on my haircut and he was like alright, man, whatever you want. But yeah, I don't know, dude, fuck, I don't even know how I like stumbled, like I like. I said I'm not gonna. I won't dwell on an entire episode of me and my how want.
Zach:Well, yeah, get to know your hosts.
Josh:We should do that one time, uh, I don't know how I got stumbered on bikes like we'd always read fuller stuff, but like I just got bit by the bug early, like 11 or 12, I got my first, my first one out riding one of my buddies and like it just took off dude from there. Like there was a period to like and I feel bad for my mom, but there was like the house when I lived at home was full of like catalogs Every day. The videos were on. The weekends were nothing but riding Graphic tees, flat bills, like everything revolved around dirt bikes.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:Like I got my ears pierced. I started eating tattoos because of the dirt bike magazines Not so much anymore, but like that's where it started and then it just like that's. My entire personality was based off of that particular sport.
Zach:Yeah right, and it's just really never stopped. I think that happens. I think everybody does have Some people pick up stuff later in life too, but there's always that one thing that you got hooked into.
Josh:Yeah.
Josh:I still do it.
Zach:When you were a teenager, you were like 12, know that that age yeah the developing age um. We're developing um physically boners but uh, sorry, when I was just when I said we're developing.
Josh:That's what I was thinking boners and bush voices crack.
Zach:Yeah, dude, I'm on, still cracks um oh my god, it's funny.
Josh:You said the mature dude. I have so many fucking stories. We'll have to do like a special on that, but I think there's always something that happens that you get into at that age, that you just it becomes an obsession. Yeah, it does.
Zach:If I was to analyze mine, I really think mine's video games.
Josh:I could see that Well, I mean, I've known you for almost 20 years now.
Zach:I get into all sorts of different types of video games. I play pretty much anything and everything under the sun and I like the process. I kind of follow the studios. You know what I mean.
Josh:I follow some of the things that happen.
Josh:Well, you're a movie and TV show guy too.
Josh:Movie and TV show for sure, but I think, if I had to, pick.
Zach:I don't know movies is hard to. I just love the visual form.
Josh:But I mean it's also I think video games would still be for you. I think video games is number one.
Zach:And as they're getting better and more immersive. Like I don't know, people complain about the price, cost or whatever.
Josh:To me, Price doesn't bother me it doesn't bother me.
Zach:If you've, if you've created a like again like, if you've created a world that draws me in and I want to live in it.
Josh:I'm so return on my investment. It's. It's worth 60 bucks, yeah, or 70. 70. Dude, I'll spend it. I mean it's.
Zach:I don't care, Because to me I'm going to get.
Josh:It's like you said. It's the way I just said. Like it's a return on my investment, like I'll get a good game You'll get. I mean, look how much.
Josh:Destiny. Look what we did with that. Oh, I know.
Josh:I mean it's, I've probably more than any of the group, but it was a 40 game. Yeah, I may have spent 80 total and I've got 500 600 hours in that game when people they complain about the.
Zach:So especially a perpetual game like that, like destiny or, uh, you know, live service games yeah to where they're constantly developing new content. Dlcs come out, drops, you know, whatever patches, and if they just adding more content as time goes on, it it used to be. They make the game, they release it. You pay one price, you can replay as many times as you want, but there's nothing new. Live service games now are almost the norm these days.
Josh:At least 50%. The bar is high.
Zach:And so, yeah, I'll keep paying that because it's a continued experience. Destiny was a 10-year fucking game and, like I said, I dropped $1,000, but over a 10-year period, oh I have to. And how many hours I put into that game Probably more. It was worth it to me. I don't want people who are bitches like, oh, games are $70 now. I'm like you've been playing this game for 10 years. I just tell them don't play 10 years. What were you talking about? I can understand the beef if it's a linear RPG and it's like one story. It's not a live service game. Nothing's new happening with it. But even ones like that are starting to be like that To, where they add more DLCs and more content to keep it going.
Zach:Like Elden Ring you know, huge game that's got a huge fan base Big price tag Comes out with more DLC and they're dropping them, basically free, yep, and that's awesome, so that's good for them. But if they even charge money, I would you know, if I was an Elden Ring player I would get into it. But a lot of those I it, but a lot of those I'm noticing a lot of those um action, rpgs and mmos that are um, well, I guess. I guess elden ring isn't more of an mmo.
Zach:I don't know, I really play but anyway I wouldn't call, even the ones that are just single player, is not online at all. You don't really play with anybody else. They still trickle out content to add to the game, to keep you going or whatever, and I think that's funny. Even games that don't do that, sometimes I'll go back and replay them every once in a while because I hadn't played in a while. Like um, um, what's a game that I've actually played a couple of times? Uh, through, uh, some of the final fantasy games? Yeah, um, I've played through a couple of times, a few times. God of War I've played through a couple of times, because sometimes they're just fun.
Zach:You just forget the battles that you've got to do fighting the bosses.
Josh:I went back and played Skyrim. Skyrim is a good example.
Zach:That's not online at all. They're not adding content to it. And then when you get into the PC thing and you start doing it and modding, that opens up everything.
Josh:And now you can console mod.
Zach:The consoles have modding now too, so those games hold, I'll pay.
Josh:Yeah, so like 60 bucks, I need shit shut the fuck up yeah, you know, I mean don't buy it you.
Zach:I guarantee you you could stop buying some bullshit for a week. Bullshit, ass, coffee or whatever you get would gave me that game.
Josh:Well, you know, the gaming community is tough. I know they're a whiny bunch of whiny motherfuckers.
Zach:Um, maybe it's because you know half of gaming community is tough oh, I know they're a whiny bunch. They're a bunch of whiny motherfuckers. Maybe it's because you know half of the audience is children and they have no money, but I don't know. Get your parents to fucking. Your parents are buying it anyway.
Josh:I guarantee you it's not. I bet that's a small minority group. I'm sure it's probably our age.
Zach:It's probably would say yeah, back to that would be. The bug that I I got was was probably video games early on. That's a fair, that's fair. I would say that that'd be my thing, you know, which is also you know. I wish my mind would have been, you know, like wrestling or boxing or something like that be in better shape spelunking, skydiving, something, fuck jousting.
Josh:No, I was destined to be a yeah, but you're also a big adventure guy too. Like when you're on vacation. You're like a different, you become like a different person I'm gonna. I'm an adventure guy, that's what I'm saying, so an experienced guy, so like yeah because we've, we've been, I mean I've the two biggest trips I've been on for city wise, my two vegas trips.
Zach:You were there like so I've seen you in in the cut, like, yes, in the action I think that's my thing, as I just like experiences, so I get bored with something I'll trust I gotta I've got always got to try something new yeah uh, except dick can't try dick can't try dick um, you can try ice cream can't try dick, can't try dick so, uh, you know, if someone's like, hey, you want to go do this new thing, I'm like, yeah, sure, sounds cool, let's do it.
Zach:Yeah, you know, I'm an experienced guy like, and even when I buy things, sometimes it's expensive things eight dollar. Chicken sandwich is eight dollars, it's the experience of eating an eight dollar chicken sandwich. Yeah right, you know, I'm saying 100, not because it's eight dollars. It's not getting like premium chicken.
Zach:I want to say it was really because the everyone's saying like this is a bad-ass chicken sandwich, but it's $8. And I'm like, fuck it. You telling me that I can have like one of the best chicken sandwiches that man has ever created. That's an experience. I'm going to go try it. I'll pay whatever.
Josh:Hey, I've been down the pasta sauce aisle and bought the most expensive one to see if it was worth the price. Yeah right, I've done it. It was $14. And I'm like we'll see if it's good. Yeah.
Zach:And I think that I think there is some. There is sometimes something to that. You're damn right, because it depends on what it is Like. If you're, if you're talking about a difference of a couple of dollars, who gives a shit? But there is 10 bucks and something that's a hundred dollars.
Josh:Yeah, the same item you're like it's not just marketing no, something is something else.
Zach:There's something different. What is it? I need to experience it. But if you're saying something between ten dollars and fifteen dollars, well, I'll just get the ten dollar one, because I guarantee the 15 of one is not much different than the ten dollars you know, I mean, that is bark versus reward here.
Zach:All right, yeah right, that's true you know I'm saying um, but then I think there is an, there's another level that's higher than that. Then it's all just about name recognition, branding, like like uh, you know a lot of the fashion stuff. Like I don't get the fashion stuff. Like it's all made out of the same fucking shit. That's correct, it's designed. Maybe it's designed a little bit better, but it doesn't justify the tens of thousands of dollars that some of these fucking pieces of clothing are fucking worth.
Josh:You know what I'm saying these are. These jeans are from Walmart.
Zach:Yeah, and most, mostly women's clothes are kind of doing that, but dude's clothes do the same thing, like like Louis Vuitton, okay, like.
Josh:I get it's.
Zach:Italian it's, I guess it's Italian, and it's well-made, it's handcrafted. It's not worth orders of magnitude more than the most expensive thing at, you know, kohl's.
Josh:It is better. I bought my wife one.
Zach:Yeah, I get it Anniversary. I don't think it's orders of magnitude better.
Josh:Yeah, because you're you're paying for the name, you're paying for the quality and stuff. But there is some items in there, like I got her one for anniversary, but you know I walked in I said just pick out which one you want like reasonably. But you know there's some of them that are 10, 15, 20, I mean there's Birkin makes handbags that are 20 to 50 grand.
Zach:So say, if you go into that Louis Vuitton store and you saw something that was a thousand dollars, and something that's the same as a purse or wherever the fuck it is.
Josh:It's a purse, yeah.
Zach:And it's another one that's $10,000. What is the biggest difference?
Josh:That's correct.
Zach:Is there a $10,000 difference between those two?
Josh:$9,000 difference between these two. When I saw them, there wasn't. However, I don't know enough about it to see. I don't think there would be in my opinion. What about the craft of that? Is there only three of those ever made?
Zach:Well see, that's not even like being better. That is all about branding and scarcity and that's the reason why it's $10,000. Supply-demand, but I'm not saying like if they made a thousand of each item and made a thousand $1,000 purses and they made a thousand $10,000 purses, you can't. There's only so much better, right, a purse can fucking be, that's correct.
Josh:Yeah, yeah, you're right. I don't know.
Zach:You know it's crazy handcrafted with the best materials. They're both made like. How much better can can fucking leather be? You know what I mean? I don't know. I don't know that that's.
Zach:That's the part about fashion to me that doesn't make sense is that it has it has a limit to where obviously you can't craft it any better, you can't use better materials. You're already using the better materials but you're still going to charge orders of magnitude more just because of the name and the branding and the scarcity of the item, or whatever. That's the part about fashion I just don't quite get. I was like, because I'm an experienced person about fashion, I just don't quite get. I was like, because I'm an experienced person, like experience of me walking around with custom shoes or whatever is fine, or whatever, because I like the experience of wearing these really good shoes.
Josh:Yeah.
Zach:But I don't care that, it's the. You know, I've only got one of 10. I don't. That doesn't add to the experience to me. Does that make sense? That does, yeah, that's just showing off and be like oh, look at me, I only got. It's only 10 in the world and I've got one of them. I don't, I don't, that isn't, I don't give a fuck.
Josh:Yeah, yeah, it just sounds pretentious and you sound like a douche. That's just me, yeah. Speaking of, what does the shirt say? You have on Dirt man. So what is that?
Zach:I don't know. I'll do this thing. I'm scrolling around Instagram. I'll give you a little backstory. I've done this several times. I'm scrolling around Instagram and the algorithm's doing its thing. It keeps showing me certain videos. Sometimes I don't know if it's organic. This algorithm, I think, is trying to push things sometimes. Sure, I ended up coming across this music creator and it you hate music.
Josh:Huh, you hate music.
Zach:Well, he makes goofy little catchy elevator music, kind of like jingle kind of shit. He'll make jingles for commercials and other kind of whatever. It's kind of funny and it's kind of humorous and it's kind of funny and it's kind of humorous and it's it's kind of weird and it's one it's like like you were talking about earlier. You just get sucked into watching the thing sometimes and so I ended up getting sucked into watching like his videos and he had like a shirt and I was like, yeah sure, I'll support the dude and I hit this. This shirt does and it's really funny.
Josh:That's cool my head.
Zach:Hey, man, I'll buy t-shirts off people to support whatever they're doing and then the algorithm also will send do ads, and sometimes you see the same ad all over again and again and again. You're like I'm fucking tired of this ad. You know, I mean, you know, yeah, of course. Well, eventually, sometimes I'm just like, you know, fuck it, I'll just. I've been seeing this ad a bajillion times. It's like it works, yeah and I'll try it out.
Zach:And now I, I, sometimes I I get obsessed with stuff Like. Here's an example Uh, I used to see ads all the time of flock chicken chips. You know what I'm talking about? Nope, you ever seen? Okay, well, anyway, they're. They're basically just chicken skins that they like fried up and seasoned and it's, that's all it is is chicken skins. It it's not processed or anything like that, it's just they fried up some fucking chicken skins and kind of like pork cracklings, except chicken skins.
Zach:And I kept seeing the ad on Instagram over and over and over and over again, and they're always weird and kind of, but they draw you in somehow because they're so weird. I said, fuck it, man, this dude's having a blast eating these fucking chips. I'm going to try them and so I end up getting them and they're great. They're a little expensive and they've kind of like gone through some problems and they're. They kind of suck now but they're really good at the time. Another one a fresh chili company. I got really into hatch chilies. I kept seeing this fucking commercial all again and again and it's just like this dude out on a damn farm in New Mexico Hatch Chili Farm in Hatch, new Mexico. That's where it's at and it's where you make these chilies and you know just peppers and they fucking make them.
Zach:They you know, roast them and they put a jar them up and they put some other shit in it or whatever, and they make these really good. You know, you just eat the chilies raw or you can, or like in a jar, and then they also have like sauces and mustards and ketchups and all this kind of shit, and so I started trying some of it and I've got some in the fridge right now. Actually, before you came over, I was having some of their green chili sauce on a burger and it's fucking phenomenal. Now I'm obsessed.
Josh:Okay, so your Amazon obsession is also you're like a thank God QVC's not racking and rolling in this bitch.
Zach:Yes, and I am my father's son.
Josh:Okay, that's what.
Zach:I said you said that right, I knew what you meant he does the same kind of thing, Like he'll get into gadgets and widgets and fucking see shit on. Tv and he's like I gotta try, try one, Like one Christmas we ended up getting a Bop it because he kept seeing the commercials for Bop it, yeah, and we ended up getting a Bop it and he fucking beat Bop it three times. Yeah, it's pretty hard, I don't know, if you know you have to do 300 things in a row without failing to beat Bop it.
Josh:Well, he's an assassin, and he did it three times. He's an assassin. That's what that is. I've seen the man shoot yeah, he's an assassin. Yeah, dude, I mean, like you know it's, it's all attaching an emotion to a product pretty much when I started learning about. It's like an experience yeah, that's what you're doing like.
Zach:That's why I buy the shit that I buy yeah, like I could, I could, I don't know, like Especially stuff like that. I looked around I was like oh, let me just try some chicken chips, just chips that are made out of chicken skin, just see what it tastes like, because I was curious, like a chicken pork rind.
Josh:And.
Zach:I would look around, I couldn't find shit. And they were literally the only company that was making it like that. And the rest of them. They would take chicken pieces and make a chip out of it. It and the rest of them. They would take, you know, chicken pieces and make like a chip out of it.
Josh:You know, it's just kind of like, yeah, that's not the same thing I want you to just take a fucking like chicken crackling and fucking.
Zach:I couldn't really find a company that did it, because I looked all over the place and they were only ones that really kind of did it and they had like a hattie b's hot nashville chicken uh flavor and I was like fuck, yes, and so I got. You know, that's the ones I ended up getting. So to me that was like an, it was an experience and it was good.
Josh:It's same thing with the hatch chili as, I looked around that dude and tagged him on instagram with a shirt.
Zach:I've hit him up before, yeah what I mean.
Josh:You need to make sure you tag your shirt when you ordered it yeah, I did.
Zach:Oh, okay, cool, I was like, because that's when I got it.
Josh:Yeah when people like. That's what I get excited when I see people wearing my shirts like they'll tag on Instagram. There's something about it. It's really cool, like they went out of their way. Uh, actually.
Zach:So, speaking of your shirts, um, you know I got some and when I got them, uh, they're built for someone who works out all the time. I may need a different size shirt, but I kind of put it on today, you know because I'm getting black, I'm not looking.
Josh:Which one, the green. You have the green and tan.
Josh:I have all black ones. I need a black one, actually.
Josh:I need to order one.
Zach:We'll just talk to you, whatever I think I got an XL, but still an XL, for that style is not built. I'm shaped like a fucking potato right now fucking potato right now. Okay, I've got, I've got some different sizes, yeah, and I you know the black one's cool dude and I like I don't have like huge, I don't have huge biceps, but I have big arms. That makes sense. I guess.
Josh:So it was a little. I got you dude yeah they're an athletic fit shirt.
Zach:Yeah, the athletic fit. For sure I'm not an athletic fit I understand right now.
Josh:well, I had custom sizes made for. We'll do a shout out for Street Bike Tommy. I don't know if you've ever heard of Street Bike Tommy, but if you watch Nitro Circus, I did put it on, okay.
Zach:And it fit a little bit better.
Josh:Well, that's good. Yeah, they're nice shirts.
Zach:I still had some like man tits going on that's okay. So I was like this is really kind of accentuating the man titties. They do. I need to. I'll get you a black one. I wouldn't wear it out right now. I'll bring you a black one.
Josh:Okay, the black one is slimming the black one also cuts.
Josh:I'll bring you a black one. I'll bring it to you next week. Yeah, I only did a small batch of them, but I had some 2Xs made, not saying you need one.
Zach:I could probably rock a 2, and he's a big, big deal guy to me.
Josh:As I grew up watching him, I sent him some 2Xs. Well, I have leftover 2Xs that like Send them my way.
Zach:I'll pay for them too. You don't have to pay for them. I'll bring you one.
Josh:Yeah, just let me know what you think.
Zach:They're nice shirts, if I could, I.
Josh:And it's the same. It's the same brand, same athletic fit style shirt. They fit, they fit, they feel really good. Yeah, I love my shirts.
Zach:Like I said, if I wasn't, you know, shaped like a bowl of pudding, then they would probably fit really well, I got you.
Josh:Well, whenever you get done deputifying, you can trade it in for a smaller. You know that reminds me of that.
Zach:Between Two Ferns episode with Jennifer Lawrence.
Josh:Yes.
Zach:And Zach Galifianakis' show and she's like, says something like she says. He says to her he says do you think people sometimes think that you're kind of off-putting and she was like you should be off-putting Because you're fat? Do that, it's so, it's all staged or whatever, but it's so funny.
Josh:The bloopers for that are great too yeah dude. He said do you think when he asked Benedict Cumberbatch about his accent, is that why you think like it covers up you being a bad actor?
Zach:Yeah, right, or something the accent does. Yeah, watching the bloopers and like crack up is so good. Yeah, dude.
Josh:I was going to bring some up before we sign off. Okay, like happening in the world. I mentioned this last week, but I want to talk about it because it's been on the news.
Zach:We're about an hour and a half in, so we probably should be the last thing.
Josh:We'll just get this out. So I'm sure you've seen about the asteroid that has recently made the news.
Zach:Oh yeah.
Josh:Have you heard anything?
Zach:about this. It started off at like 1% and it's got up to like 3.6% or some shit. So I watched a video with Probability sorry Probability of it hitting earth. It started off at 1%, now it's up to it's bounced from as of two days ago, it was 2.3.
Zach:So, as far as statistics go, what that means in practical terms, there is a 3% chance. But what they're actually kind of saying if you read between it, it started off. There is a 3% chance. But what they're actually kind of saying if you read between it start off at 1% and it's tripled in probability.
Josh:That's correct. Since then, about a 1 in a 45. Right, is what that? One of them? I heard one, yes, but I listened to this guy today, this gentleman I forget his name, he's old Neil deGrasse Tyson, he's a prick Okay.
Zach:Well, his lane, he's an astrophysicist, yes, so he was on there.
Josh:He gets into politics and he's a fucking retard, I'm not no stay, stay with what you know.
Zach:He, he thinks that there's more than two sexes okay, I'm out.
Josh:So he's an idiot purely just talking about the asteroid. But anyways, if you guys are not up today with the news because they hit, if you get on social media, get anywhere, it's like they of course make it terrifying and start fear-mongering it. But anyways, it's an asteroid that they're saying is between 150 to 300 meters. They don't know the exact size of it yet.
Zach:Um, that's like taller than the in the uh stature that has a chance of hitting um in 2032 is that right. December 2032, something like that 2035 yeah, here it is. Asteroid yr4 could hit earth in 2032?.
Josh:Something like that 2035, 2032. Yeah, here it is, asteroid YR4 could hit Earth in 2032. So seven years. So you have time to plan.
Zach:Was projected. Path is like over fucking.
Josh:So they said it could hit towards Ireland and Asia and then India, all that area. That's the kind of I've seen, but the Earth is covered with mostly water. Yes, 100%.
Josh:And also a lot of unpopulated areas and also a lot of unpopulated areas. So you're talking about going by. What this gentleman said is, if it hits, you typically take the size and then you'll double the actual what the crater would be. So he's thinking about a mile wide crater if it hit. So he's like it's not going to go extinct, it's going to do city damage.
Zach:People are going to die if they don't evacuate. It was like a. Was it supposed to be like a 400 megaton? Bomb, yeah, something like that, which I think is something like it's a couple times bigger than the Hiroshima, With no radiation. With no radiation, just explosion.
Josh:There's no, yeah just purely that part. So, but I was. It's kind of wild because the reason it's making news is because it's the first time this has happened, when there's one that's had that high a percentage. Yes, there's hundreds of them that they monitor and there's an entire department that monitors all this.
Zach:Well, every once in a while they'll say like yeah, an asteroid came closest to the Earth and you're like it was like 30 million miles away and you're like what the fuck it's?
Josh:got to come within so many, because they base it off I believe I'm from her correctly is about how the distance between the moon and the earth. Yeah, so it's, yeah, it'll be way out, and you're like how the fuck is that a miss?
Zach:it's not even between like earth and moon's orbit.
Josh:It's like because in the year 2029, apotheosis, another big asteroid that's going to come within 20 000 feet. It'll come lower than some satellites. It'll cross through our orbit you actually, they're actually on this.
Zach:Why no not?
Josh:this one. This is an ap, a hypothesis. Another huge asteroid that was supposed to come close but now it's been deemed not but it's coming close enough that they're actually going to launch a rocket to monitor and get close to it. I know what they're doing. They want to mine that bitch.
Josh:I don't care what anybody says, Because there is this raw material and there's no, it's kind of protected Nothing that gauges what kind of mining you can do in space. So they want to the plan that I heard with some other people that were talking about, like you know, conspiracy they want to get one to slow it down and put it in our orbit so they can mine that bitch. Okay, because it's worth billions of dollars, trillions of dollars. It's funny you say that because there's a TV show where they do that.
Zach:They did this thing. Yeah, it's on Apple. It's awesome. I've watched the whole show. I'm all caught up on it. It's for all mankind they mined. Basic premise is if the Russians beat us to the moon, how would historical events played out if we were an actual space race and we lost and we were trying to catch up to the Russians? It's basically the premise of it, and so you think about like, once we went to the, once the US went to the moon, we won. The Soviet Union collapsed because we basically like the basic theory of how the Soviet Union collapsed. Besides that communism fails everywhere it's tried. Is that we just we forced them stride? Is that we just we forced them? The space race and the arms race basically bankrupted the soviet union because they couldn't their their economic engine. Communism could not keep up with capitalism's economic engine right and we bankrupted them we forced them to spend too much on on space and and defense and else.
Zach:That's the basic theory. Well, so what would happen if the Russians beat us to the moon? Then we would be playing catch up right, and it would be a constant battle of trying to get supremacy in space.
Josh:Yeah.
Zach:Right, and that's the idea and that competition since pretty much the US has had. You know we part with other agencies and all this kind of stuff, but as far as like innovating in that arena, in space, we're number one. We don't really have a competition there. China is probably, is close second Well, I wouldn't say close second, they're second so but it's not really a competition.
Zach:They don't really get one up on us and then we have to come back right so that competition breeds innovation and drive and ambition and all this kind of stuff. To where eventually it leads? To? Where they have like a moon base and eventually, like, the next big thing is like uh, we've well, we didn't beat them on the moon, we're gonna beat them to mars, right? And so there's a big race to Mars in the show and then eventually they colonize Mars.
Zach:There's a Mars base and then, yes, the last season was a big-ass asteroid that's basically worth like $40 trillion or some bullshit of rare Earth metals. They end up capturing it into Mars' orbit and the plot of the last season was that they were trying to get it to capture into Earth's orbit so Earth could mine the stuff. But the people of Mars whatever, they had a vested interest in keeping the Mars base going and they captured it in Mars' orbit so that Mars would have to exist, the colony there, in order to harvest the, the minerals from this asteroid. So like for all mankind definitely, if you're kind of like into the alternative history kind of things, then seeing how it would play out if one thing changed in our history, like how it would play out, oh, I love that kind of shit. It's super interesting. Um go watch. It's on my list, it's the same same. Uh, in that kind of shit.
Josh:It's super interesting. Go watch it. It's on my list.
Zach:It's in kind of the same vein, a little less sci-fi, a little less, I don't know. There's a metaphysical aspect to man in the High Castle.
Josh:The Nazis one.
Zach:There's some science fiction a little bit to that one too, but it's alternate history. If one thing changed, if theis got the atom bomb before we did, is basically changes the course of history. And then you extrapolate what would that look like in the 1960s, in the 70s, 80s, you know? Yeah, I love that kind of shit. So for all mankind. It's funny you mentioned that but yeah, that's, that's what.
Josh:that's what their the plan is. The plan is to come to fruition.
Zach:But yeah, this one, I'm curious, they're going to Well, they had that one that went up there, that they call it the pogo stick, the dart yeah, where it bounced on and gathered stuff on it.
Josh:Well, that might be something different, but the dart was when they launched that rocket to see if they could change the trajectory of the asteroid.
Zach:Yeah, that's a different one. Okay, yeah, this one was just it bounced, and every time it did it it grabbed a sample.
Josh:Oh, okay, yeah, no, but this one coming like I mean, they have time, you've got seven years and also it could change when it gets too far out. That's when they'll build it. Once they get a good look at it but too far in its orbit, it'll be some time before we can come back and see it again.
Zach:There's time they have things lined up that they could try these things are moving at tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of miles an hour relative to.
Josh:Earth. Who knows man? I will tell you if it would be. Of course I don't want it to happen, but it would be wild to see it on footage. You saw the one years ago that went over siberia, that like knocked out windows, and it was small in comparison yeah, I don't think it made landfall, it exploded in the air, but I mean it was wild.
Josh:So, yeah, that's that. I saw that and I was like fuck, here we go. Well, I mean, you know just the, the, but not three or four days ago, four or five of them zipped by us.
Zach:They happen all the time, oh it happens the time, and so you're thinking like eventually one will hit. But the thing is like most of space is so fucking big it's mostly empty that you would think that if you just look at the number of objects that are in the sky that we can see, you would think we'd be getting hit with them all the time.
Josh:No, they sit with them but they don't Because there's so much empty space. A hundred years one could hit, I mean obviously like a big one. There's big ones that they deem planet destroyer.
Zach:I mean you see the craters all over the moon, that's because it didn't really have an atmosphere or life to be able to cover it over and the Earth had as many at the time. But that was it was those were all happening during a tumultuous period of the solar system, but so it was relatively calm and especially in the you know, things kind of settle in and so we do get stuff that swings back around. I mean there's a whole fucking asteroid belt post after Mars. That stuff collides and then comes into our orbit.
Josh:This one comes into our space, We'll see. You have time to you know, don't panic. All these scientists are saying don't panic, but I mean, if it does, there's not much shit you can do about it.
Zach:I know, and like it's wild, like you said, where it's going to land. It's probably going to land in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Josh:It'll hit some dude's house. Well, it'll just make a crater.
Zach:He said, that's it.
Josh:It won't do anything. It'll be loud, I mean, it'll be wild to see, but he's like you're not going to be anywhere near it.
Zach:There are some cities that could be in its path of where it could land. But I mean, I'm guessing that it'd be interesting to see. As time goes on, they'll get more and more accurate information. Three, three to five years when it gets cut, you'll they'll have. It'll be all the talk. I'm gonna go ahead. Actually, I could probably do uh mix, uh, make a bet on this too. Uh, right now, um, what's that website that? Uh, you pretty much can bet on anything, now I can't uh I don't know, I can't remember the name of it, but uh, yes, there's a website where you can bet on it.
Josh:So you bet on the asteroid, they bet on the presidential election and the inauguration. Okay.
Zach:You can bet on fucking anything that it won't hit. Eventually they're going to come out and be like it's now a 0% chance.
Josh:The guy actually did say that could happen.
Josh:He said it very well could change. That's my guess.
Josh:Yeah.
Zach:That would be my guess.
Josh:I don't, I mean not really shit I can do about it anyway.
Zach:Yeah right, Just hit that bitch with a rail, rail cannon. Yeah, you see that movie. It's politically charged movie, it's basically about climate change and but it's actually, if you try not to read too much into it, like I did, and you just kind of enjoy it for being fucked up and crazy and kind of infuriating on how stupid everybody is, don't look up, of course. I've seen it.
Josh:I saw it the week it came out. It's amazing.
Zach:And you're watching it and you're just like I hate this movie and I love this movie.
Josh:It's a weird movie. It's a train wreck in the best way. Yes, movie.
Zach:It's a train wreck. Yes, the best way. Yes, it's wild. At the very end, when everybody still I think my, still my favorite part of that whole movie is at the very, very end, whenever the you know elon musk character who's like super genius and makes rockets, I mean it's a little too the movie's a little too on the nose yeah, yeah, that's the reason why it's.
Josh:That's the reason it's actually a bad movie.
Zach:Uh, because it's adam mckay and adam mckay he makes you know he made like uh, talladega nights and like anchorman, all that kind of you know, you know I'm saying like he's a, he should be a comedy guy. He's now gotten into like the political arena and he makes like political kind of comedies or whatever. He's a little too on the nose, it's a little too much. He needs to shut, everybody got killed.
Zach:He needs to shut the fuck off the rocket by those bird fucking things and they're all naked and they're all old and fat and gross and it's a bunch of old politicians and power brokers and billionaires and they're all naked for some reason is when they get on this, back on this planet, and they're like, oh yay, and they're like the only survivors, a bunch of people that can't procreate. Yeah, the worst of the worst the worst fucking people.
Zach:They're the only people of humanity that survives, and then a bunch of like pterodactyl, fucking bird things. Kill them all.
Josh:It's so funny. That was a great movie.
Zach:If you haven't seen it, it's good, it's so good. But speaking of that, the final scene for the Earth is terrifying. Yeah, it's not good Fucking terrifying. Yeah it is. We're all sitting at the dinner table and the whole earth is shaking because it just got hit by a big rock.
Josh:Yeah, but that was a huge one. Yeah, I mean, take the movie Armageddon that was one the size of Texas.
Zach:Yes.
Josh:There's bad ones. This one will not be like that, but there is bad ones.
Zach:I just thought of a good thing that we could do, maybe for an episode. Is you ever notice the phenomenon? It's not really a phenomenon, because all of these studios are aware of what each project is going on, but there's always like at least two of the same movie that come out at the same time.
Josh:Yes.
Zach:You know you mentioned Armageddon.
Josh:Yep Deep Impact.
Zach:Same fucking movie Right Yep Deep Impact. Same fucking movie Right?
Josh:Yep, it's because Comic and Asteroid.
Zach:Because these studios, someone's shopping, someone shops around the movie idea for Armageddon or Deep Impact. One of the two. And another studio is like that's a great idea, we're going to make our own movie, we're going to try to release it before they do. And they go and find a fucking script. And they find whatever. The bunch of scripts of the same thing gets floated around. So a studio picks one up, it tests, well, they're like they're making it, they've got a big name actor to get a bunch of money behind it. The other studios like fuck, we got to get on this action. They do the same goddamn thing but change little things. And change little things because it's a different script. They don't have the rights to arm again, they have the rights to deep impact, yeah. And then they make the same fucking move and they come out six months apart and then they did another one greenland, greenland, another disaster, asteroid comet.
Josh:Right, it's the same fucking movie that day after tomorrow greenland 2012 geostorm.
Zach:Like all, they're all the same fucking movie same movie. You know what I mean? Yep, um, so I was, I. So I was thinking maybe we could dive into our repertoire and come up with a list of our favorite. I don't know what you'd call it twin movies.
Josh:We can do that. You know what I'm saying For sure.
Zach:Yeah, I can make that list. Another one I was thinking is White House Down and Olympus has Fallen.
Josh:Yep.
Zach:Same fucking movie. Yeah, one has channing, tatum and um, uh, who's the president.
Josh:Jamie foxx is the president right.
Zach:So it was definitely the lesser of the two right because they didn't have a sequel or anything like that, but the other ones did, you know those are good though gerard butler and also it was a little more rated r like gerard, but was saying you know, like really fucking killing some people and saying fuck and everything, um, so it was definitely the better movie, um, and also it was the best president of all time. Morgan freeman, it really was. It was god, it was right, god he's god plus president, he's just.
Zach:He's the best president we've ever had?
Josh:yeah, we'll do that. When do that? We'll have to do one of those, for sure.
Zach:Wasn't he also the president in Deep Impact? Yes, he was, yeah, dude, so I'm saying how many times has Morgan Freeman been the president?
Josh:Not enough, not enough, right, oh shit.
Zach:But anyway, I just thought about that. I was like that might be a fun little thing to do.
Josh:Well, I guess we probably should sign off.
Zach:We're. We always sit around one hour hour and a half hour, 40.
Josh:I think that's good right now. Let's keep it under two. Yeah, we'll do the curfew thing. We'll keep it like keep, follow, subscribe, share. I'm going to try to get a little more Comment. We want comments. Yeah, please comment or message us too. Let us know if there's topics or anything. As well, you can find us on Spotify.
Zach:We're actually on every platform. We have a secret producer, by the way, scott. He likes to send me stuff on Instagram and be like this would be a really good topic on the podcast. That's right, I'm like cool man.
Josh:Tell him to send it to me.
Zach:I never.
Josh:Dude, you're sandbagging him.
Zach:Sandbagging him a little bit.
Josh:Okay.
Zach:I don't know. I don't know when he sends something.
