Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is How Men Think with Births like and Gavin
de Grab and I hear radio podcasts. Welcome to another
episode of How Men Think podcast. My name is Brooks
Like and I will be your host for today. And
I'm super excited about today because today is a completely
different show than we've ever done usually on this show,

(00:23):
and honestly, actually every time I try and do this podcast,
and I signed on to do this podcast because I
wanted to add value to you guys, to the listeners.
That's my mission with doing this podcast is how much
value can I add to your lives while you're listening
to this show today. You're not gonna get any of that.
You are not going to get any value that's going

(00:45):
to positively impact your life, but you are hopefully going
to get entertained as we enter the wild and crazy
realm of thirst traps first trap photos, and we have
with us produce Sir Danielle and producer Easton and or sorry,
producer Tory and producer Easton and Tor is already smiling

(01:08):
because two weeks ago Tori put me onto this term.
I had never heard the term first trap in my
life until two shows ago when we did a show
with Eric Winters. Um Tori tell us what thirst trap
is all about. Well, it's funny because again, this term
has been around for a while. We even have easton

(01:28):
East and you're thirty what held thirty three? And do
you know the word like the term thirst trap? I do?
I do. So I feel like I'm the only one,
like because I put this out on my social media
like asking our community to submit the best thirst trappers,
which we have a list of everybody that you guys submitted,
and we have two amazing thirst trappers, a guy and

(01:52):
a girl coming on this show and we'll get to
that in a sect, but stay tuned for that. Um.
But I feel like I'm the only person in the
world that had never heard of this term for trap?
Am I just like am I just from outer space?
Why if there is anyone that doesn't know what it is?
Urban Dictionary always gives you the best way to describe it.
So I pulled it and it's a sexy photograph or

(02:12):
florry message posted on social media for the intent of
causing others to profess their attention their attraction, sorry, causing
others to profess their attraction. So basically, it's like you're
posting it, but somebody will engage with you on that
photo saying you're hot. Basically okay, So somebody posts a
sexy photograph or provocative photograph just hoping that people are

(02:37):
gonna double tap it, like it comments slide into their
d m s. They're set in bait, really is what
they're doing. So that's called a thirst trap. Correct. Oh man,
if you think fire emoji, you're thinking thirst trap. Oh,
fire emoji and god, all that probably go with this.
So thirst trap. So thirst trapping has been around. I

(02:58):
just asked my buddy about this right before we started
the show this episode. He said he was using the
term in he was using the term thirst trap. So
I have no idea, guys, how I missed this boat. Um,
I've had a lot of our how men think messager
listeners send me photos from my own Instagram profile, just

(03:18):
repeated photos. Boom, this is a thirsdt trap. Boom, this
is a thirst trap. Boom, this is the thirst trap.
So maybe I've been doing it, but my photos have
actually been like at the completion of a workout, like
something that's actually I've actually really done our thirst trap
photos more just poser like pretending to do something photos, Brooks,
if you're showing off your muscles in a photo, you

(03:41):
were thirst trapping. So if you're like, hey, here's my
cross fit, you're not wearing a turtleneck. You're gonna show
off your body and your muscles, and you're gonna say
I look good while also kind of promoting your your
healthy lifestyle. But it's for the intent to be like, wow, Brooks,
you look great. What's your program that's engaging in a conversation. Yeah,

(04:03):
so so My how I look at thirst trap though,
is like this is how I perceive it from my
my recent like knowledge of it the past days. Over
the past days, I've interpreted it as just an over
the top, just ridiculous, why are you doing that photo?
Like when I work out, a lot of the times

(04:24):
I'll have a shirt off because it's so hot. The
workout will run twenty So I did you work out yesterday?
It ran thirty nine minutes, So like you just get hot,
so sometimes you peel the shirt. Um, so it's actually
functional and actually like real life. My view on thirst traps,
they're not real life. They're poser shots that you're just
casting out bait for double clicks In your profile Eastern

(04:47):
What do you think I mean that that that sounds
like it's me. Uh, I've never posted one because uh,
in the whole since Instagram has been a thing, I've
been an event married man. You know, So, Um, I
have to you know, I'm only I'm only trying to
trap the thirst of one person. And uh and uh

(05:08):
you know that this has been quenched long ago. Let
me tell you so how about this though, So both
of our thirst trappers, one is married and one is
in a relationship right now. So we have two people
that are notorious and that our how men think community
wanted us to get on, that are notorious for thirst trapping,
and they're both in committed relationships. But here's the thing.

(05:30):
You don't have to be single to post a thirst trap.
Like you could still post a photo being like, yeah,
I'm hot, I feel good about myself. It's not to
necessarily get slides into your d m s, but like
you feel good when you post a picture and it
gets a lot of likes, you can't say that it doesn't. Okay, Okay,
So well, we have a specialist. We have a really

(05:51):
special guest. You guys requested her. Um, she is a.
She also has a I Heart Radio podcast. She is
page Renee Paige. How are you, how are you doing?
Thank you for coming on this show. I'm so excited
one great to see you again. Um, I'm I'm just

(06:14):
over the top with the show. I cannot wait for
this show. So page Renee for our listeners or the
people on in our community that don't listen to her
podcast or don't know who she is, was a professional golfer.
I'm gonna call you professional golf. You still are because
you can kick everybody's good. Um. But also you are
the most uh socially followed golfer in the world. Correct crazy,

(06:37):
but yes, you have the biggest social community digital community
of any golfer in the world, and you do some
amazing things with your platform. We'll get into those value
add things later, but this show is not about value.
This show today is all about entertainment. Um. And so
we are going to get to thirst trapping. Page. This

(06:57):
is a new term for me. I don't know if Tori,
but I just found out about thirst trapping two weeks ago.
So how did you not know about thirst traps? It's everywhere?
So how did you find out about it? Because Tori
just told me about it on an episode two weeks ago.
How did you find out about the term thirst trap?

(07:17):
My whole social media platform is built on a thirst trap.
But who told you that? The term? Like you just
probably like four years ago. It's just when you throw
up a picture and people like, oh, it's a thirst trap,
or they'll put like the water emoji, or they'll say like,
do you need a gatorade because you look dehydrated? Are

(07:40):
you thirsty? Like? There's just so many terms for it. Um,
but I think thirst traps get a bad rap, but
they're actually a really great thing and you need to
there's certain things you need to do to get a
really good thirst trap. Okay, so I have so many
questions for you. Let's start with that for our listeners.
So pages of female. So let's we have a male

(08:01):
coming on the show later. Um, but let's let's attack
it from a female perspective. If you're gonna do a
thirst trap photo as a female, give us like your
top three pointers page. Well, the first thing is you
need to know your audience, because the thirst trap is
going to be different for if you have more of
a male audience, If you have more of a female audience,

(08:23):
or if you have like a food account, you can
either make a food thirst trap. There's so many ways
you can go about it. But for me, since I
have a strong male demographic and they like sports, a
thirst trap is just me hitting a golf ball. That
is the thirst trap for me. Some people, when you
hear thirst trap, you think it's just like you know,
booms out, ass out, you know, just like showing everything

(08:46):
up and that's They think that's a thirst trap, but
it's really not. It's just whatever your audience really likes.
So like a thirst trap for a food account could
be like this gooey gooey mac and cheese and people
are like, yes, I love that, I want that. Or
for like you, all you have to do of jealous
is like pose with a cute dog. Like guys have
the easiest thirst traps ever, it is the simplest thing

(09:08):
girls have to actually put onto it because if you're
a girl and you have a female audience, you all
you have to do is have like a designer bag
or a baby, or like a really nice outfit. So
it's totally different for everyone whoa Okay, you're blowing my
mind here because so in my context of a thirst trap,
it's just like a butt picture, a boom picture, ab picture. Like,

(09:31):
it's just that's how I see a thirst trap. But
you're saying that a thirst trap can be a dog,
Like I post photos my dog all the time. I
love my dog, he's my boy. I love him. But
I never thought that that would be a thirst trap.
Oh yeah, So let's just say you have a more
female dominated audience. I have more female than male. Perfect. Okay,

(09:54):
So all you have to do is post a picture
with like a dog and you're good to go. Or
I mean, you can definitely do the shirtless picture. I
don't think anyone is complaining about that one bit. But
it's so much easier for you. You just have to
do something where a girl goes, oh, it's so cute.
That is a thirst trap for a female. It's anything

(10:15):
that kind of gets like there, oh, that's so adorable.
I didn't know that, okay, I like, I thought a
thirst trap was you're setting out some bait with the
intention of trying to get people to slide into your
d MS a thousand percent. But for you that that's
definitely like, oh, he's so cute with his dog and
o like, oh he cooks, like I love that. Girls

(10:37):
are just gonna be like yep, I'm slide and right
and wait, Brooks you I'm sorry to interrupt, but Brooks
knows this because he hasn't realized. But he's been posting
these pictures for a long time. And you posted a
picture of your dog and a girl was like, page,
get this and let me know what your thoughts are.
He posts a picture of his dog and if somebody
swipes up, sorry, someone d m saying, oh my gosh,

(11:01):
I would love for our dogs to do a play
date together. What is she saying? I want to sleep
with you? Do you think so? A thousand per cent?
That's just like the easiest way to like slide in.
Girls are not as direct as guys. But that is
a hundred percent exactly what she was going for, Like

(11:23):
I want to go on a date, I want to
sleep with you. I'm in love with you. I'm so
behind on like the whole social media gang game and
just like intent on it, Like I use my platform
to try and add value. That's why I do this show.
That's why I use my platform, and then I show
things I love you know, um, but I never I
never played. I never had social media until I was

(11:46):
in a relationship. I've never ever in my life been
single and had social media, So I've never played that
kind of a game with social media. Mine was always
to engage with people and see how I could add
value to their lives you and bring bring attention to
good causes and charities and things that a lot of
what you do as well with yours. Um, But how

(12:06):
can we make a positive impact in the world with
the platform that we've built through our sport? So I
always looked at social media like that. I never looked
at it like we're just chum and water here trying
to just get the sharks to circle. So, um, what
other ways give? Like Okay, let's so for a woman,

(12:27):
for a woman, know your audience, so any like, even
you swing in a golf club, guys are gonna just
double tap on it because guys are sports fans, and
guys are fans of you're a very beautiful woman. So
but then how do you supercharge that? Because that's the
like I looked at your profile page, I follow you,
and and that's not all your posting. No, I think

(12:50):
you definitely have to Like you were saying like, I'm
not just throwing thirst traps out every single day trying
just to get attention, and guys despide in my dms.
That's not We want to use our platforms for good,
but you do sometimes need a thirst rap to kind
of get the engagement going. And so for me, that's
usually like a bathing suit picture or a selfie or

(13:10):
you know, just a more sexualized picture. But one thing
I always trying to do with my first traps and
not show the whole thing. So just give them like
a little bit of a taste, so I'll kind of
crop it up or just show like either I'll focus
on one part of my body. But it's really strategic
on how I do it. But I mean, it really
does help kind of getting that engagement, getting that traffic,

(13:32):
because you still, if you don't have anyone looking at
your page, then it's for nothing that you can't promote
any of the good causes or get your voice out there.
No one's following you. So I use it for good
or for bad. People disagree or I think it's maybe
not the best way to do it, but I like
to throw out a good thirst trap because I also
I like the way I look at the picture. I'm

(13:52):
not just doing it for attention. I was like, yeah,
I look good in that picture. I'm gonna throw it up.
That's awesome. UM. I also think, um, there's a thing
like what you just said that sometimes you'll do that
as a way of keeping there's a termine in digital
media called attention currency. So having people's attention I want that.

(14:13):
That's the currency in digital media is do I have
your attention? Are you coming back to my platform, to
my profile and engaging with me? Um? And if sometimes
you need to do that to then parlay that attention
currency into some sort of philanthropic adventure or something you're
doing there, then I I totally understand the reason to

(14:34):
do it. I think there's uh, some people do it
out of vanity of just like throwing out like they
just they want to be maybe an insecurity. They'll throw
it out to try and get themselves fed up or
filled up. UM. I don't see that. I know you page,
so that's not who you are. UM, it's not how
you use your platform. But I do see what you're saying.
I will admit, like sometimes I'll post a an aggressive

(14:57):
workout picture or if I'm shirtless doing a workout that
will get more attraction to the workout program that I'm doing,
which I designed to help people to help benefit people's lives. Yeah,
it's the same thing, And I don't think it's a
bad thing if you do do it because you just
want some validation or just a little bit of like, hey,

(15:18):
you know, like that does make me feel good, especially
if you have taken that time to you know, diet
and exercise and you're proud of your body. And I
feel like a lot of women get a lot of
hate for that because they'll pose in a bikini and
they're like, I've worked so hard for this, and people
tend to take it as a bad way. They're like, oh,
you just want attention, you want people look at your body.

(15:39):
But then a guy will pose shirtless and there they're
only noticed for all of their hard work that they've done.
So I feel like first traps kind of have a
negative connotation when it comes to women, and then with guys,
you guys can post whatever you want and women don't
say anything, but say I pose a bikini, they will
turn around and call me a slat. So I think
there's definitely like a double standard there. And when it

(16:01):
comes to golf being very conservative, sometimes I definitely push
the limit and be a little more sexualized because golf
is so conservative and it's okay to where would I
want to wear and look the way I do and
still be a complete badass in golf, And so it's
kind of almost breaking that standard or that mold of
what people think of golfer should be. So there's a

(16:21):
reason why I take it maybe a little bit over
the top. Sometimes there's always a meaning behind it, um
or sometimes I just felt good I wanted to post it.
Amen to that and good to have the confidence and
just the like, you know what, it's your life, it's
your platform, and like people can unfollow you. You're not
forcing this, You are not physically forcing that in front

(16:42):
of anybody. They choose to follow you, and so they
choose to see the photographs um that that you post.
What has been like, undoubtedly you've had more positive interaction
and engagement with traditional thirst trapp E type. Have you
ever had some really negative engagement or interaction where you've

(17:02):
really thought, are reconsidered, like do I really want to
be posting this out? Also, you're married, yes, you know
you're not single looking for people to slide into your
d ms like crazy? Like, how does how does your husband,
who's a gem and I can't wait to see him again,
tell him some work out? Um? How does he react
to his wife posting what would be first trappy photos? Um?

(17:28):
I I never feel like I've crossed the line. I
feel like everything that I've done has always been very appropriate,
and I always judge it off of my parents. Actually,
so if I could post a picture and I know
that my parents aren't disappointed in what I'm posting, then
it should be fine, Like they're still proud of the
person I am, and I think I do. Sometimes I'll

(17:51):
look at women on Instagram and they'll be posting in
like a normal bikini top and it's all positive comments.
But since I have a larger chest, it then all
of a sudden is turned to be vulgar. So I
sometimes feel it's unfair that I have to wear certain
things to get a different reaction when some girls are
praised for wearing the exact same thing I'm wearing. So

(18:13):
I never want to change who I am, but I'm
never posting it in the intention of I want so
many guys to tell me I'm good looking today. You know,
I never do that. It's more just kind of like
I feel good about it. I want to post this,
and I don't feel like I should be afraid or
ashamed in what I'm doing. And it's funny because I
actually get probably more unfollowed when I post a thirst

(18:34):
trap than if I post like a normal golf video.
So it's it's sometimes it doesn't actually help my engagement.
It hurts it because they don't even really want to
see that. It's more for myself and feeling confident, feeling
sexy and not being afraid to do that. Um and
when it comes to like my personal life again, he's
very secure with who he is and he knew kind

(18:55):
of what he was getting himself into. And I don't
think I could ever be with a man who told
me you can't post that because I don't want other
guys looking at you. I would rather be with a
guy who is like, hell, yeah, that is my wife.
She's sexy and other guys want her, but she's mine.
And I think that's like the the coolest thing. If
a guy can be so confident and secure with themselves

(19:18):
that they don't need to make their significant other look worse,
so guys don't like them. I never understood that. Yeah, yeah,
well good for you. I really appreciate your perspective on it.
And obviously you guys have that communication within your relationship,
and the relationship is strong enough, and both of you
as individuals are strong enough, UM to understand the purpose
of what's going on. UM. And I always find it

(19:40):
really interesting. I think the Internet and social media is
I think it does so much good truly in the world.
It brings awareness and impact and inspiration to so many people.
And then I think it's also on the other side
of things are really toxic environment her judgment for opinion

(20:02):
for UM conflict, like people like if somebody chooses to
follow you page and digest your content to then offer
their opinion and and negative opinions, I've never understood how
offering negativity serves the world, you know, Like, how why

(20:22):
do people take the time to offer that. I've never
understood that. So I actually I love your I think
you're very brave, you know, because I know you've done
a lot with anti bullying, which has come from UM
social media engagement. I'm sure, but UM, changing that narrative
empowering women to be confident and strong with their bodies.
And also just the fact I appreciate this. And the

(20:44):
reason I agreed to do three thirst trap photos today
is because this is an area of my life I'm
trying to work on. I always try. I'm sometimes a
very serious guy, and I always try and add value,
and I just want to go over the top, goof
off and just do something so outside of what I
would normally do. So for your so, what are what

(21:07):
are the three that you're gonna go with? So three
that you have to do, I'll give you one. The
best advice is if you do a thirst trap, you
own the thirst trap. There's nothing worse than someone doing
a thirst trap like their booties out and it's like
a gone quote. It's like no, no, no, you own
up to it. You're doing the thirst trap and own it.

(21:28):
So in your caption you just have to be like,
this is my thirst trap. Appreciate it so Page, because
I appreciate you so much coming on to talk about this.
Tory challenged me to do a thirst trap last week,
and so I have done three. I had seven photos
to choose from, and I have three that I think

(21:48):
are the winners, and I want to run them by
you too and ask you what do you think of
my thirst trapping abilities. I shot these photos this morning
where it is so we're on Tory. Just put thirst
trap number one up on the screen. So well, it's

(22:10):
perfect tell us who we're looking at Brooks. Okay, so people,
people that are listening, you can go to my Instagram
and I'll put this on my Instagram at Brooks. Like
so I wanted to do. Okay, we're doing thirst traps right.
So I always say anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
So I'm gonna do the most trappy of trappy photos.

(22:32):
So here I am. My dog is in the foreground.
I'm out in the water with a pair of work
pants on. I have no shirt on. And then here's
the best part of it. I have a hatchet on
my belt, I have a hammer on my belt. I
have a knife on my belt, I have a chainsaw
in one hand. I have an axe and a sledge
hammer in another hand. No shirt on. But the best

(22:53):
part is I'm in the water. You would never use
any of this stuff in the water. So that is
first trap number one. Page Break it down. How was
my first thirst trap I'm blown away. You need to
teach me a thing or two about thirst traps, and
I love it because with a thirst trap you can
do whatever you want. So the fact that you're holding
like all of these tools you would never use in

(23:17):
that situation make it absolutely perfect. And then the dog
just like kind of in the in the you know,
right there, it kind of looks like the dog took
the picture like gazing at you. You know, there's just
so much going on, but I'm just looking at your abs.
So it accomplished what it needs to be accomplished. Also, also,
my buddy, my buddy, Hebert Cannon, took this photo for me. Um,

(23:38):
oh yeah, I'm gonna ask that's like, does that like
self timer? Like how did you? Um? He gave me
his sunglasses. They're blender sunglasses. Just look at my sunglasses.
They're like party sunglasses too. So when you really zoom
in on, like look at that, they just got reflective
things like party sunglasses. I hate to break it to you,
but no one's gonna be looking at the sunglasses. So

(24:01):
here I am in the water with all these tools.
By all those tools are my own tools, and I
use those to clean my yard. So it's a authentic
in that way, but the fact you would never be
in the water with any of those tools. So so
for the caption, you should be Do you want to
come to my tool shed? Okay, Tory, can you put

(24:22):
up third craft picture number two for page? Uh? And
please coach me on this page, like, tell me what
I'm doing, want to tell me what I could do better?
Here's it's a very bay Watch moment. I'm kind of
living for this. Just that kind of slow run out
of the water and you're still holding the tools, which

(24:43):
makes even better. Yeah, I got all the tools, I'm
walking out of the water. This is just a little
more in motion. Um, this one I think is just
absolutely hilarious. Maybe I'll use this as like my swipe
up one or something because this is this one is
just so funny. I think I like the first one
better just because I like the dog. It mean, you

(25:03):
hit everything that you had to possibly hit in the
first one. But this is still good. I like that
kind of movement shot you have going. But again, no
one's gonna be looking. You could be holding the most
outrageous thing and you're even holding like a birthday cake
in one hand, and like something else, another hand, and
no one's gonna be looking at anything. They're just looking
straight at your abs. Okay, so this one, this one

(25:26):
actually looks like um, looks like I'm kind of doing work.
So for this one, I think I might post on
my on my Instagram and just put um, just finished
up another week's worth t G I F because it's
it's so cheesy, like you can never use those in
the water. I don't. I'm walking in water with a
chainsaw and and a hatchet like its um. So first

(25:52):
trap number three, please, Tory just might be my my
star Thurst trap. Get ready page. I'm excited. I honestly
have no idea what to expect. Oh okay, okay, you
have a little hip hop going, so look off into
the distance. This I'm just standing there. This is a

(26:14):
total poser photo, saying all the tools, shirtless in the
water up to my knees, just pretending like I'm doing work,
but there's absolutely no work to be done because I'm
in the lake up to my knees. How how long
did it take to shoot all these pictures? I talk
about four minutes total. How's it jealous? I grabbed a

(26:37):
bunch of tools out of my grade stuff that I've
been used lately. I'm like Hebrew, We're like, I'm in
North side of Hoole. We're gonna do my I've grown
my beard for like four months, so the beard playing
well in these photos. Um. I put on my work gloves,
I grabbed my tools, and I'm just like, we're gonna
do the dumbest thing ever, stand in the water with
all these tools, and then we're gonna just trap it.

(26:58):
I'm actually gonna be interested in how these pictures do
you compare to what you normally post, because obviously this
is very different than your normal type of content. So
it would be interesting to see the engagement, the likes
in the comments, if it does increase, or if it's
kind of like me, where this is not what they

(27:18):
want and they're like, give me, give me more dog
pictures of workout stuff for you know, it'll be interesting.
Got you? So you're saying I potentially might have missed
the mark here with this thirst trap. No, No, I
think you hit it. You did a good job. We'll see.
So out of the three pictures, UM, page, which picture
do you think is my number one? First trap? I

(27:41):
like number one the best number one. Yes, I think
number one was the best. Tori is shaking her head. Yeah.
The dog just really makes it like a Brooks like
thirst trap, which is why I like it East. You know,
I like the last one best, where you're like knee

(28:04):
deep in the water. I don't I don't know that
that one really did it for me. The sun's hitting
you in a really special way. Page. So you think
number one, I think, yeah, number one. I think it's
the ultimate thirst trap because it had everything that you
need for a successful picture all in one. I mean,

(28:26):
you're shirtless, you have tools, you have a dog, You're
what I mean, what else could Okay? Okay, so um,
oh my god. So these photos as of this podcast,
when this releases, these photos will be out there. And
I always tell that's the best one. Yeah, I always
tell this to friends. I'm like, just remember that the

(28:48):
Internet is forever. The Internet is forever. And I kept
reminding Hebrew that when we were shooting these this morning.
I'm like, dude, that's my famous line to tell people
the Internet is forever. And here I am doing this
right here. So Tori, You're welcome. I love you. This
is for you. Page. You're also welcome. I'm trying to
level up to page level we need. We need to

(29:12):
get Tori to do a thirst trap. I've been trying
to convince her for a while now so that that
should be the next thing you guys have to do, right,
not challenge you to do one. Let's just your mind. Anyways,
onto the next um any before we let you go,
any last advice for women or men out there looking

(29:34):
to thirst trap, anything you want to say, any any tips, tricks,
anything you want that can that can help our community.
Just trap. Yeah, if you're a guy, definitely just do
some push ups before you take the picture, try to
pump up a little bit, maybe run around, get like
a nice little listen and then for a girl, I

(29:55):
mean it's it depends again. If you have a male audience,
just wear a nice low gut or if you have
a nice fruity or some good leggings. Um, and if
you have more female audience, just look nice. I'm so
envious of women with female audiences because they're just gonna
look like so posh and perfect and I'm just like
in like a baseball cap all the time, just like, Okay,

(30:16):
let's go play some golf. So but no, just have
fun with it. I think own it. Owning it is
the most important thing because what is the most sexiest
thing ever, and that's confident. So if you have confidence,
it's going to turn out great. And I'm happy you
finally learned what a thirst trap is. It's a big
part of my life, so I'm glad we're sharing that
to everyone else right now. I'm so excited about it too,

(30:39):

how are you? That is my favorite title. I'm so

(32:51):
proud of that. Thank you guys so much. Buddy, you
are welcome. I must say I watched every single episode
of Too Hot to Handle? You are you? Landed a
beautiful Canadian girl. I'm a Canadian, so my heart goes
to you. Man, you pick one of my fellow Canadians.
I love it. Um, but Harry, give us a little.

(33:13):
So the conversation today is about thirst traps. Give a
little like context on your life prior to Too Hot
to Handle and now your life post Too Hot to
Handle and how your thirst traps are just going viral
all over Instagram. I honestly think I've toned my thirst
traps down so much. When I had ten thousand followers,
like I was in my yes in the mirror getting

(33:37):
them meet out, just begging for a pension. And now
I feel like I'm way more wholesome, way more well rounded.
Like the photo of Francesca, I like, it took me
so long to convince to let me post that, and
I was like, it looks it's gonna do amazing, Like
let's try to break the internet today, like come on, um,

(33:57):
and I was like you look like insane in it. So, yeah,
one where your heads laying on her bosom on her butt.
That Yeah. Yeah, that was a good day. That was
a lot of fun. Yeah, man, So so tell me
about this. So before Too Hot to Handle, you were
at what how many followers? I was at like one

(34:19):
one before, so obviously you were. You were stirring up
some some fire on social media prior to Too Hot
to Handle, and then after Too Hot to Handle came
out on Netflix, the explosion just started. Half. Yeah, it was.
It was crazy. I think my biggest day that I
grew it was like five hundred dozen followers in one day,

(34:41):
and the next day it was like three hundred dozen.
And that was when I posted the video with Francesca,
and that's got like twenty six million views, which is
like it just doesn't feel real, Like I look at
it and I'm like, I don't know if I should
be proud or like, wait it out that like banging
people like seeing this like I don't know how to feel. Yeah,
how do you deal with So it's interesting to me

(35:01):
that you've toned down the thirst trappiness after the show.
Is it because you're now in a relationship and you're like, oh,
I want to I want to approach this differently where
you single before and You're like, I'm just throwing this
out there. That's gonna get like some clicks and d
ms like crazy. Well I think, um, like me and
Francesco boats both like you said, just go crazy with
those traps, and I think now she's like she got

(35:24):
mad at me for posting like a shower like a
towel selfie like I was like, I look good. She's
like that shouldn't be on the internet. And like Francesca
like she's like, we're way more wholesome, Like it's weird.
So when I'm scrolling your program or your profile, I
know the photo you're talking about. You post it. You
put thirst trap Thursday, right, yeah, yeah, so I know it.

(35:45):
So I was like, oh, brother has been doing it here.
Do you find that those do you find that those
just get like the most engagement, the most clicks, the
most like like what is is it just that you
feel confident with your body and you want to share
it and inspire people? Like what do you are? You
just goofing off like this is this is Instagram. I'm
just messing around to it. Um, like There was a
lot of thought that went into that photo. Like I

(36:06):
picked up the mirror from the living room, I brought
it into the show. I made sure that once I
was in the shower, I didn't drive myself off. So
I was a little bit wet um. There was a
lot that went into that, like I tested the lighting everything.
But when I post, like when I post these photos,
I just like, I don't like, I always feel good
like it. I don't know, it is a bit like

(36:28):
attention seeking, but I always find that like when I
get that validation from people saying like, oh you look good,
or Francesco saying you look amazing, like, it makes me
want to keep going and like keeping my journey. It's
always it's always good to feel good, especially from millions
of strangers on the internet. You know under that my
man um do you have do you currently have? Well?

(36:49):
First off, I want to ask this question first for
our guys that are listening to the show that want
to be better. First trappers want to drive that engagement
and just get maybe get the attention of ladies or
a man or whatever. What are your like top three
tips for a thirst trap. As a man, I always

(37:10):
think that if you feel confident, like if you feel
amazing about yourself, just do it. Like who cares what
anyone says, Like just like no matter what you look like,
you're someone's perfect person. So like get your shirt off,
your pants off, maybe you keep them on. I don't
know if you've got only fans, do whatever. But like

(37:31):
I always think that just if you feel confident and
you feel happy, you look happy, there's should be nothing
stopping you from doing whatever the whatever the hell you want.
Like my my my biggest tip as well, when like
if you're dude and you're taking a photo like in
the mirror, I always like have my phone up a
little bit and tilted forward so much like it's illusion

(37:52):
so my chest looks bigger, like I'm skinny, so that
when you do that, your chest looks bigger, you get
more of what people are after. But like, don't go
too crazy, don't crop your head out of it. People
want the full experience. It's just like when sending nudes,
like people just want to see the full experience. You
don't just go bang on the on the long like
you want to do the whole everyone's hit for the

(38:12):
the whole journey, right, I will I will agree with
you that I like because sometimes bathrooms have a mirror
not mounted flush on the wall. It's mounted with a
little angle forward. Just it gives a little different perspective.
And sometimes you can look in that mirror you're like, damn,
I'm jack, I'm looking good today. It's just it's given

(38:33):
you a little it's like a nice little wind that's
your back. Yeah, it's so, it's the science of the
science of first traps. So did you so? Okay? So
that's one. Be confident to hold it up a little
bit tilted forward, a little bit in the mirror. So
that makes you your six pack, your chest, makes everything
look better. Um. What's your third one? What's one other one?

(38:53):
That maybe if guys are sitting there in the bathroom
or wherever they're trying to self bee um or is
it just like a thirst trap doesn't have to be
yourselfie in the bathroom in a tower. I don't know,
it doesn't. It honestly doesn't need to be like you
could you could be anywhere. You could be in your
in your car, on your couch. But I always think, like,
if you like what I said, So Christian usually takes

(39:14):
my shirt this little takes all my Instagram photos. So
I always say to him, like, you just have to
be a little bit gay for me, like tell me
what looks hot like if you were if because our
romance is probably right on the line, right. So I'm like,
you need to tell me what will get you going
if you would get and he's just like, perfect, Okay,

(39:35):
so this is what you need to do. So get
a friend like that. If you're not comfortable with your
friends in that sense, then whatever, Like um, but I
always think that having like a third party or someone
who can like push you along the way. But if
you're also taking mirror selfie and you're not feeling that confident,
maybe like put a toothbrush in your mouth, like making
a bit of fun, like do a weird bace or

(39:58):
just like maybe just from it. But in the caption,
never take away, like never be like like I was like,
I've got a rather large left nipple, like, don't distract
people from your thirst trap, Like always make it like
something fun and keep it fun and be confident. Yeah,
I love it. I love it. It's so page. We

(40:19):
had paigeren A on who is the world's most followed
golfer on social media, beautiful woman, she's married, um, professional athlete,
professional golfer, And that's what she said too. She said,
be confident and own it, don't You don't put it
up there with any hesitance to be like, yeah, I'm
doing this, whether it's like I look good today, I
feel good today, or just like hey guys, I'm goofing

(40:39):
around and I did a stupid shot and this is
the caption for it. Yeah, have you ever gone too
far with a third trap where you've put it up
on the internet and you're like, oh, dear god, that
was that was maybe a little far I'm showing too Yeah,
I mean, like borderline, my cat's gotta be taking down
like I've gone full on, like side small under so

(41:03):
you can see everything every vein. I was like eighteen.
They're like this is kinda like I'm gonna go viral here,
and then I'm like, look like it's vulgar, Harrison, like
it's it's been taking down three times, like it shouldn't
be on the internet. And I don't know where the
photo is, but it's probably around. Have you have you
seen a lot of this stuff resurfacing since you're too

(41:25):
hard to handle? Theme? Yeah, like, all right, so I
haven I did my first ever photo shoot. I think
I was like eighteen nineteen. I was trying to figure
out like modeling right, and um, I don't know what
was normal. I don't know what was going on. So
it was like like the guy was just like, yes,
you close, like let's go. So like his photo with
me with a rose and my bomb in the back,

(41:48):
just Harry, you gotta say this to men. It's honestly
like it's he just reposted it on his Instagram and
like my my new friends in our just the screenshot
and they keeps sending it and I'm like, yeah, I
get it, Like I don't know what was going on.
I was just getting my cheeks out, like it's okay.

(42:12):
What is the what is the question for you? Because
you're now in a in a committed relationship with Francesca,
what do you think of her thirst trapped photos? If
she's a very beautiful woman as well, when she posts
a photo that's very sexy or very attractive, what do
you feel when she posts that? And what does she
feel when you post one that you know is going

(42:32):
to get some heat? Um? So I think me and
here a little bit different like but both very like
massively supportive. But now that I've got like a few
more followers and a lot more attention, like the photo
of me uh in the town of my Instagram, she
was furious and a bit of an argument. I'm like,
I'm gonna show you, like I'm gonna post this ship

(42:53):
iss you off, so like that was like like I
was just being toxic. But when I don't care, like
she so hot, like go like get those thirst trips
that get those lacks, get those comments, like let's go
like she looks lit like I couldn't be She'll send
me a photo and I'm like, fucking post that yesterday,

(43:13):
like come on, get it on the internet. He looks
so good. Um, yeah, I'm gonna be more supportive. Like
I don't get like I understand that guys being insecure
or people being insecure about stuff like this, but if
they're your partner or your best friend or like in
a relationship with you, they should just be like that
is my girl, Like come on, though, you're looking lit, like,

(43:33):
let's show it off, Like who cares what anyone thinks? Um,
You're on fire? So yeah, I love it, man, I
love it so much, So Harry. One of the first
reasons why this whole topic came up is because I
had I was asking Brooks the best way to d
M a guy to get the attention without feeling like
I'm feeding into the thirst but also grasping a man's attention.

(43:54):
So what's the best way to respond? You post a picture,
you know, I told Brooks, there's like the fiery emoji,
but you want to stand out? So how can girls
stand out? On like sliding into the dns? So I have.
So I've been hit with one real recently which was
really good. Um, like obviously I can't reply it, but like, um,
she sent me the post and then like answered the

(44:15):
question or like said something about it, which I thought
was hilarious and I was like, too bad, sill you
go along, d end um, But I like always a
winner is like so everyone's like everyone is so self absorbed,
like everyone loves himself, right, So the best thing to
do is like asking a question about themselves, or like

(44:36):
reply to a story and be like, oh my god,
like how do I sit on that face? You know,
something like sorry? But like I always find if you
ask a question about them or something like that, or
like if you're me and you're super weird. Like I

(44:57):
always be like hello, my little butter chicken or hollo,
your national treasure. UM, always work. Harry the girl saying it,
I don't know if you said it to me. This
takes on phone like I'm reply, dude, I love you, man,
I love you you on. I knew you had trust this.

(45:20):
I love watching you in the show you have you.
I will say this, you are brazen. You are bold.
I have a huge admiration for that. Um. From a
guy's perspective, Let's say a girl, our producer, Tori, is
currently single. Let's say Tori is going to like throw

(45:41):
out a thirst trap. What are you looking forward flashback
to your single days, because you're not looking at thirst
traps the way you do now or now the way
you did then. Now you're in a relationship. But um,
when you were single, what was like, who if a
girl do it through a thirst trap like this? What
are like some of the that's things that you saw

(46:01):
that you were looking for as a guy. Oh that's good.
I always feel like if it's like well lit um,
you know, like sometimes you can be like a little
bit too sultreat um, which is completely fine, but by
all means, but you want to make it like a
fun first trap, you know, don't be like popping titties
out or anything like that. Maybe if you wanted to

(46:23):
like Julia Rose, I mean, if you've seen her Instagram,
she's like constantly thirst traps, like she's crazy, Like she's like,
we'll be on a plane with just like fingers over
her nipples. Like that's probably I reckon go on her
Instagram and then work back from that. But like this
chicks the extreme, Like she's probably gonna get banned on
Instagram and we're gonna work backwards. So we'll go Julia Rose,

(46:46):
fingers over nipples. Okay, what can we do? Maybe we'll
go whole hands over titties. Yeah, there we go. See
I'm on your Instagram. That's very trappy. I've never heard of, uh,
this woman before, but very trappy. Yeah, like she's she's everywhere,
like she's going up. But I think the biggest goal
would be to get that work back from there. Um.

(47:08):
But I would also like send it to your friends
for approval, like if you've got really good friends, like
a lot of people have friends, Like I always send
my stuff to Christian and like yo, like all the boys,
like the boys group chat like is it is this?
What's up? Like is this? Is this the source? And
then they'll just be like yeah, we're on, like it's
game time. So I think like especially girls, like girls

(47:30):
are way more comfortable. So you just Um, so I've
had a coffee. I'm really excited, Harry, Harry, you can
send me those thirst traps. I'll help you approve those.
You'll never get a note for me. I'm like, oh yeah,
put that net out there, run that yeah. Yeah, I'll
be your biggest advocate. Bro. If you ever like insecure?
Does this look good? Oh yeah, Harry, just run that

(47:51):
out there, get it out there, let's go. Let's go.
People what they want every time, every time. I think
confidence is everything really, like if you if you're glowing,
like people can tell like when you're glowing, and like
when you're feeling good. So like go ahead and get
a bit of a tan, bronze up, a bit good
for a run, feel fantastic, and then just get those
kiddies out on the ground. Oh oh man, Um, what

(48:20):
other have what other advice do you have? Um? Because
like I told Page previously told us, like as a
woman seeking a man's thirst trap. She's like, she wanted
to see like your dog. She wanted to see something
that made her go oh like like huh, like a
scent more sensitive side of him versus just a guy
with big muscles. In the sixth Paths married, He's Page

(48:44):
is married, She's like, don't listen to page. Yeah, so
Page is married, so don't listen to page. So the
single game is different from the married gates. So the
single game is just put the smoke in the fire
out there now. Well, like I understand Paige's perspective because
she's married, and that's what she wants. You wants to

(49:05):
see a man with a dog, maybe you know, out
the front outside of a really nice house with this
shut off. That's probably her idea of a thirst trap.
Whereas like, if you're in your twenties and your single,
you're not really wanted to settle Downd. You just want
to you know, get on, get on someone and climb
them like a tree. Then you know, lads like honestly

(49:28):
like jim Sel coffee Jims like in in the bed,
you know, like I used to have a fold, like
I get my one of my good friends is um
gad like, bro, send me everything, like, send me what
I need to do, Like if if you're ladding, you've
got a gay best friend, the best secret weapon you

(49:50):
could ever have, the thirst traps. Honestly, like bom, I've
got like an army of gay friends and I just
go look, find me everything and I'll do it. And
that's how sad insture. I love you. I love this.
This is awesome, so fun. Oh man, Uh, I also
want to ask you, like how hard was too hard

(50:12):
to handle? Like you and Francesco were like just dying
to bite at each other. You know, we're watching this thing.
How hard was it to keep your hands off of
each other during that? Whoa Like honestly, like it was
like I was very hard and it was. It was
such a such a really hard experience, um with Francesca

(50:35):
until we finally did the date and I was so
relieved and like it was it was crazy because I've
never met a woman that gorgeous and a woman that's
actually like tripped me up, Like when I first saw
her and she came down like this wasn't in, this
was cut out. I'm probably get in trouble talking about it.
But when she came down like I couldn't talk to it,

(50:56):
like she was just like I was shaking, like I
legitimately I was like or the first thing. I was like, oh,
you're nervous, and she's like no, and I'm like cool,
just walk away like I was trying to get away
from it. She was just way too like she was
She's a like incredible and I would like to, oh,
do you wanna do you want a drink? And she's
like sure. I was shaking so much I couldn't pour

(51:16):
her drink, so I gave it to Shrine. I was like,
get her a drink, bro, like she's thirsty, come on,
Like I just couldn't. I couldn't talk to her, and
I just kept trying to go to the other table
because it was just it was crazy. So then once
I found out that she was interested in me and
that like I'm not the ugly duff thing, I was like, oh,
like I was so taken back, and then you know,

(51:38):
things are a little bit he did, and at that
point I was just seeing red. I was like, I
need we need to have sex to know how we feel, Francesco,
and she's like, I don't know if that's how that works.
I was like, it is a fact. And then the
Book of Facts, open it up, page forty four. He
how we do it up in Canada? Brother? Yeah I was,

(51:58):
I was said back, and I was like, man, I
was such a let's see it red wow. Yeah. But
that the whole format of the show Man. It was
fun to watch. It was great. It was great entertainment
to watch. Um. I'm happy you guys are doing well,
my man. Um, thank you so much for Sharon. I
think we gotta have you back on. Like I oh, Tori,

(52:20):
So one one thing, Harry. Today I did my first
ever thirst trap? Did I did? I just heard the
concept two weeks ago. Tori told me about it two
weeks ago. I'd never heard of it. So I was like,
I'm going to do a thirst trap. I'm gonna go
over the top on this thirst trap. Do you want
to see it? Yeah? That's good, out and everything. Let's

(52:42):
do the top two that page picks. We'll do the
one that Easton liked and the one that page like. Okay,
here's two thirst traps. I just shot these. This is
my connotation of what I believe it all right, already
throwing up on the screen, maybe maybe time, I'll just
text it to you, Harry. Oh, that's exactly what I

(53:03):
was thinking that. I was like, if you don't have
in my head of like, if this guy isn't holding
an axe, I'm gonna be sad. So I don't know
if I can swear it, but that's exactly what I envisioned.
I was like, my boy's gonna have an axe. Yeah,
that's let's go and post it. I'm gonna come in
so ax, I've got an axe, sledgehammer, I've got a

(53:26):
knife on my belt, a hammer on my belt, a
hatchet on my belt, and a chainsaw. Look. I can
imagine women are got to be looking at that be
like this guy, I can't chop my tree down any
day in a week. Here's my dog in the foreground
and the same thing. The funny thing is, I got
all these tools and I'm standing in water, So you
would never use these tools in water. That's the contradiction

(53:50):
of Like, that's why I think it's such a good
thirst trap, because it's just a desperate photo. It just
really this thing is it doesn't have to make sense.
It doesn't like I see it. Really, it really does
not have to make sense. If you're getting your kid off. Um,
you know you could capture that that Both of those
photos need to be on the interday. I think you

(54:11):
know the caption for I actually don't. Actually I don't
know when to capture it, but it should be something funny,
like you capture Harry if I'm running this out one
of Um, has anyone got to knock? I was just
thinking of, like just something ridiculous, like, um, just completed

(54:32):
another hard day's work, you know t V I F
because it's like it didn't work. But you need to, um,
you need to ask a question, be like, ah, this
is bad, be like, um, has anyone seen my log?
Or should I lose? Did I lose it? In you?

(54:52):
Um so vulgar, you're probably gonna get banned off today.
This is why I would be a social media manager.
But I think you definitely need to ask a question. Um,
but I just don't know what it is, right, So, UM, okay,
you definitely think I should throw those out there, But

(55:14):
like aga, instant carousel bright the way, Yeah, instant carousel,
That's what I was gonna put three on there. So, um,
we have one other one there that was voted number three.
But those were the top two choices. Um, Harry, my man,
I appreciate it for our listeners that. Um, if you
haven't seen Harry on Too Hot to Handle on Netflix,
you gotta watch it. You and francesc are stars of

(55:35):
the show. I loved your journey. Um, absolutely loved you
on there. But where do you hang out on social media?
Where can they catch your Thursday thirst traps? Um? It
is honestly just Harry Jazzy everywhere. So my last name
is a little bit weird's j O W s e

A my brother. It's it's good, It's really good. I
really want Francesca. It is amazing people. Um that everyone school,
just everyone is so much fun. Everyone And the coolest
thing is like everyone I've met here is doing something
in some way, shape or form, which is really cool.

(56:20):
Which is really inspiring because back from my hometown, like
everyone kind of just graduate high school, go to university
and it goes goes back to the hometown does whatever.
So like coming here and there's like you'll meet a singer.
It is. It is massively successful YouTuber porn star. You

(56:40):
L A is a place of opportunity. You can literally
make circumstances in the world. There's so many inspiring, energetic, empowering,
entrepreneurial people. Um. And so I'm in Idaho right now.
L A is home for me. I'm up in my
lake house up in Idaho. But I'll be back in
a couple of weeks. My man, when Francesca comes down,

Internet trap. Oh dear God, So I trying to get

(58:07):
That was so much fun. He's so good. Oh yeah,
look at these guys. Look at this. So guys, welcome back.
We have Dmitri, we got Rick, and we got Ryan
with us, and we just had a conversation of about

(58:30):
thirst trapping. And I can't be staring at three more
thirst trap worthy. Yeah. I know, I almost did this
with my shirt off, but I figured that'd be too
tough for Ryan. You like, so we got Dmitri, We've
got Ryan, and we got Rick. Ryan, you look like
you're in the garage. You're doing a workout out there.

(58:50):
I am in the garage. I have the two and
a half year old taking a napp right now, so
this is my safe place. Oh, I thought maybe you
were doing your push ups out there, ready to just
show off of the packs on this thirst trap edition
of How Men Think m M. I got my working
on this morning, Brooks. Thank you, though, I appreciate it. Rick,

(59:10):
What about you? Rick? How are you doing? Brother? Like Rick?
Rick doesn't look like he knows that we're on a
live call right now. No, I think he's I don't
think he's got his headphones plugged in. He's got wireless headphones,
but they're actually they still need to wait, Rick, you

(59:32):
got me? I think? Okay, dude, done it? What's up?
Good sirs? Um. So we just had a conversation about
thirst traps, Tori producer. Tori just told me this concept
two weeks ago, Dmitri, I feel like you've known about
this concept for like years. I've known about this concept

(59:54):
because I followed your Instagram. What do you mean, what
do you mean you've just found out about it? You've
doing it forever. So that's apparently that's what I found
out too, is apparently I've been thirst trap in Foreveruar.
But have you guys heard the exact specific term thirst
trap prior to this conversation right now? Yes, yes, Yeah,

(01:00:15):
there's my man Rick. He hasn't heard heard any So
Ryan and Dmitri, you have heard about thirst traps? When
did you hear about it? And how did you hear
about it? Um? I guess I heard about it probably
like last summer when people started posting like kind of
over the top shelfies thirst traps basically, and somebody said
and people will start to comment like, oh, this is

(01:00:37):
just the thirst trap. Oh, you're looking for attention. And
so obviously when I hear a term I don't know,
I go straight to the Urban Dictionary and I read
up on it. Yeah, Ryan, when did you hear thirst trap?
I think? Correct me if I'm wrong. There's a trend
on Instagram which is like thirsty Thursday, when it's that's
the safe day of the week where you can post

(01:00:59):
a thirst trap and not be ridiculed for it. I
think that's when I first heard about it. Oh, dear God,
we think I've never heard of that's just when you drink,
do I have heard? Yeah, and Thursday. I've heard a
Thursty Thursday, but not a Thurst trap. Oh, Tori, have

(01:01:20):
you heard get it? Yeah? Thursty Thursty Thursdays like when
you post a Thurst trap, but you don't really have
a caption for it, but you're kind of calling yourself
out for posting it. But you're just kind of like, alright,
a morning at Thursty Thursday. But now Thurst traps are
like seven days a week, so it's Thursty Thursday. Is
kind of it's just a green light for somebody who

(01:01:40):
throw out a provocative and sexy pick, for instance, saying
you're doing box jumps in your driveway right and you
got your shirt off, and then you wanted to stop
and post the video saying I want to work out.
I'm having a contest that that's a that's a NonStop
there's trap. It's so so I did some thirst trap

(01:02:03):
shots this morning. Gents, I did look at Ryan. He's like, no,
I'm like that the are you acting as if that's
the first time over the weekend you did your thing
with your buddy where your shirtless going into the really
cold water. Oh here we go, my shirts off, my abs.
That was actually we just crushed the workout that would

(01:02:23):
bury you. And then we went into the lake that
you came the toe into workout that would crush Ryan.
Come on, So for you guys, have you ever done
a thirst trap? Do you do you think you've ever
like done a thirst trap? Or if you were to
do a thirst trap, what would you do? Well, I've

(01:02:43):
got a high powered fan on me right now to
kind of give me a wind blow and look is
it working. Yeah, the hair looks great. The hair is
slowing right. It's high depth screen I got here. I
just could just see a little bit of it. Ryan,
what would you go with for your thirst trap photo? Well,
I did I due diligence as you would expect from me,
and I went through your Instagram Brooks, and I rather

(01:03:07):
take this time to talk about some of the pitfalls
that you've personally encountered in the thirst trap space. The
first of which is the candid shot, when you act
as if it's completely candid and you're just looking off
into the distance and someone just so happened to take
this photo of you your bent over, dripping in sweat

(01:03:27):
the sun and the light is glistening off your completely
shirtless body. You do that a lot. That's a thirst trap,
like big time. The other one is like you'll post
something where you're shirtless and then coda, your dog is
in the front in the picture, and you do a
caption as if you're posting this to say I just

(01:03:48):
love Khoda, and it's like, there you go, that's great.
Well do you have a you have a trainsaw in
the lake? There's no tree. Site's screensaver. I love them.
I love that Ryan's in his garage right now looking

(01:04:09):
like a hostage, because he's clearly a hostage in the
shadow of Brooks. So you want to know that what's
that knife thing attached your belt? That thing is pretty hardcore.
So here's thirst trap number one photo from today. I
just took it this morning. My buddy Hebrew took this morning.
So um Tory just put it up on the screen
first to see Look at Ryan, he's studying it. He's
just like, oh man, damn, that's that's gonna be my

(01:04:31):
new background. He's touching a screen like it's brail, Like
he's trying to feel your raps. Hey, So what So
what would you say about this picture? Like, obviously you
did this as a as a thirst trap intent, yes,
but if you were to try and play it off
like it's not what would you say is happening in
this photo? Just another day of work? Right? I couldn't.

(01:04:51):
I couldn't guess what your job is if that's a
day at work. That's the beauty of standing in the
water with the chainsaw, hatch and I have a a
knife and axe and the sled, Brooks something earnest that's like,
I just love getting outdoors and connecting with nature or
something like that. You're like, oh, and you had to

(01:05:13):
be shirtless for that. I have a question. I have
a question. What is the point of a thirst chap photo?
I mean, is it is it to attract somebody something?
What's get people to realize that you look good and
to also get a complement. So you're kind of but
it isn't that what social networks doing anyway? You would

(01:05:34):
post something on there anyway, right? I mean here's my question, Brooks,
Like you do you when you post things typically like
how how much are you? You're wearing long pants in
a lake? Jean saw barefoot man Osha would be not
proud of you. No, no shirt with long pants. I

(01:05:57):
have no idea what the weather is like? That broke um?
I know it's story. Did you put the other one
up on the screen? I'm trying to get my screen
back here. We did we are on the one of
you and the water. Nice little toe point at the
end of it. It actually looks like you're walking on water.

(01:06:19):
I'm walking out of the water. That one, yes, okay,
so action shot. You just did some underwater chainsaw and
the third one right now, See that's just like just
complete another hard weeks of work. T G. I f
run that driftwood totally. Yeah, there's definitely would in this.
Let's think of a name that we can actually where's

(01:06:42):
the wood? We need a tagline? Dude, how about this
cutting somewhood. There's not a single piece of wood that
I could chop down. Um. So this was my over
the top first troup. This is how I viewed thirst
traps anyway. Yeah, I challenge you men. I challenge Rick,

(01:07:08):
Dmitri and Ryan to do your best first trap. I
challenge you. I sacrifice myself. I'm a sacrificial lamb here
for this show. For the how many podcast? Rick, I
knew you'd be in speeding. Let's go speed over whatever
speed alright, alright a man, Yes, Dmitri and then Ryan.

(01:07:30):
I I envisioned Ryan. I can't wait to see what
you do, but I envision you going like more more
of like ron Burgundy with a glass of scot I agree,
except I think it's gonna be like a drink with
an umbrella as opposed to Scotch. How much time when
you post everything on Instagram? I mean you're the You're

(01:07:53):
the king of posting your workout stuff. How much time
do you spend looking at your body and deciding, oh,
I you know, I don't think I look good enough
in this one? And and this follow up question to
that is, are you familiar with face tune? And do
you ever touch up your own photos before you put
them up on Instagram? So to touch on both of those, one,

(01:08:16):
I am familiar with face tune. Two, I have never
downloaded it or ever used it. But I do love
editing photos. Everybody knows that I love photography. It's a
huge passion of mine. So any photo that you see
on Instagram has probably been edited by me. Just make
brighter or change something like this. These photos here, these
third strap photos are super edited. They aren't just coming

(01:08:37):
out of the camera like that. They're super so. Yeah,
I added like an extra pack on the apps or
something like that. Yeah, turn the extra out, the contrast up.
You can do certain things within light room to like
make things just boom, like jump off the screen. Um,
but I've never used face tune. Um. And then the
first part like sometimes um, if we're doing a workout,

(01:08:58):
like a lot of times I'll have a can intent
person there because we'll be filming something for YouTube, or
a buddy will be over working out. My buddy Corey
comes and work out. He's a professional, his career is
an adventure photographer. So he'll just when I'm working out,
take some snaps and then we'll just look at like
he'll just go and then we'll pick one of seven
shots that he took, um, and then just post the

(01:09:19):
workout with it. So honestly, to answer your question, honestly, Ryan,
like twenty to thirty seconds of just looking through about
five to six pictures, picked the one, and I like
take a minute to edit it and then it's up there.
I still want to get back to what the purposes
of posting a splash hit or whatever it's called splash
pick pick what is it? Trap? So you got a

(01:09:41):
thirst trap right here underneath my arm? So Rick, here
is here is the Urban Dictionary definition of a thirst trap,
set photograph or flirty message posted on social media for
the intent of causing others to profess their attraction. And
the thirst trap is set when these crushes post a

(01:10:03):
suggestive photo or video and wait for you to engage
with it. So you're chumming the water, my man, You're
like hey, So then they post another one on there
and then that starts to dialogue hopefully. No, No, you're young.
Let's rewind like two or three years, Rick and your centuries.
You're young. It's just a couple of years back. Right.

(01:10:23):
You're you're on the water polo team. You're crushing your
water polo captain, look good in the speedo and you're
just like boom, you know, just finished practice today, just
in my speed Or here's a shot. You're just fishing,
your trolling for bites. Here you're just like date for
this weekend. I'm gonna put this out there and women
or men are gonna like comment and like on it

(01:10:44):
and slide into your d M. That's my text trap.
And it can also be it's wanting praise without acknowledging
that you're wanting praise and for people to tell you
that you're amazing and you're hot and you're all of
these things. And suddenly just putting it out there as
if you're not seeking any validation in return. So again

(01:11:06):
I would reference Brooks's Instagram. I mean, I see this Brooks.
Is the beard a thirst trap in a way, like
did you grow that out? Hoping people would say, oh
my god, you look so amazing with the beard. I
love the beard, keep the beer. No, I grew it.
It was probably I agrew it for like maybe two months,
two and a half, three months, and then it was
the longest I've ever had it, and then the quarantine

(01:11:28):
then the whole social distancing fit thing hit. So then, um,
then I came up to Idaho and I'm like, I'm
social distancing. This is the longest I've ever had my beard.
I'm kind of just curious to see how long it
will go and how it feels, and just out of curiosity.
So I've actually trimmed my beard. Um, but I just
I only have it because it's the longest I've ever
had it. It just ends up playing really well in

(01:11:50):
this photo. Okay, one follow up question, the photos that
you have been known to put out on your Instagram
of you shirt list, shirtless after a workout or what
have you do you after it's posted, get satisfaction looking
into the amount of likes that you're getting and the

(01:12:10):
comments to see people saying, oh my god, you you
have such a great body, or oh you're so hot. No,
it's not really, because I know I do so it's
only when Gavin comments. I gotta tell you, I I
thought these pictures work because I find myself without even realizing,
I started writing a comment to brooksman like, man, you're
so hot, and wait, what am I doing? I have

(01:12:33):
an idea because Brooks challenge us to all do our
wet picks or whatever they're called, sorry, thirst track, But
then we do our separate ones, and then Brooks does
want of them. We try to make it the exact same.
I don't have that or how men think podcast web.
You don't have a chainsaw. I don't have anything that

(01:12:55):
can get me close to Brooks's photo. I don't have
two axes. I don't have a chainsaw. I don't have
a giant lake. I don't have a twelve pack. I
mean so, so we had page are We had page
Rena on earlier who who executes thirst traps amazingly well?
She said, guys don't have to post pictures of their

(01:13:15):
abs um or their butt or their biceps to thirst
trap a woman. Um, she said, you can post a
picture of your dog. You can post a picture of
you cooking or baking something that makes her go. But
the one you want of us. You want us to
be in it, obviously because you want to be able
to see us. Yeah, I want you to be in it.
But however you view a thirst trap, I want you

(01:13:37):
to shoot a thirst trap how you view it, Like
I could I could see Gavin doing like a purple
turtleneck playing the piano with a glass of Scotch on
the piano, Like that could be a thirst trap. You know,
however you view a thirst trap, I want you to
do your best thirst trap and then we'll put them
out to the how men think listeners and let them
vote on them. It sounds like I will say that Brooks.

(01:14:02):
When Danielle did a takeover of Brooks's thirst trap photos.
It has the most number of likes on your guys
Instagram page. So thirst trap works really So to answer
your question from earlier, Ryan, any any like shirtless pictures
or workout stuff doesn't get really hardly any engagement. Um,
if I just post a picture of my dog five

(01:14:24):
times more engagement, just my dog, like it's just it's
just But I don't but I think you're not. It's
not rare to see you without a shirt on on
your Instagram. So it's not like a novelty where someone's
gonna be like, whoa look at this, like and this
is I know it's gonna sound like a dig, but
it's not. You work out a lot, and you work
out without your shirt and so you post that. So

(01:14:44):
I think people have seen your abs and everything funny.
So it's not like someone's gonna overreact and be a
comment just because you're without a shirt. So I think
when they see something different from you, I think I
think a chainsaw on a lake. You know that brings
up some comments, maybe not all good ones, but my god,
I can't wait to see. I'm so excited to see

(01:15:06):
what you guys do for thirst traps. All three of
you guys are married. I can't wait to see. You've
probably never participated in the thirst trap game because when
social media came around, you're already married or in relationships.
So um, I can't wait to see what you come
up with for a thirst trap. Ryan Rick Dmitri Eastern Tory.
I love you all. You have one week from today

(01:15:30):
