(00:02):
I'm Brandon. And I'm.
Jesse we're cannabis school having cannabis infused
conversations with everyday people, cannabis companies,
celebrities and your mom. Welcome to the sesh.
Hey, welcome back today we have a sesh episode for you guys.
Keeping things a little light and fun just after our CUD
(00:28):
episode of a cannabis use disorder episode on Tuesday.
So we're going to go over a bunch of like high thoughts and
Brandon came up with this crazy list of different ones of it's
super funny. Ideas.
High inventions, high questions.So here's one I want to throw at
you, the PB and J Banana hot dog.
(00:48):
Oh. I don't know if I, oh, it's
just, it's just a hot dog in that one.
And let's do like a rating on that one on creativity.
It's like a 11.5. Yeah, like putting a banana
inside a hot dog bun with like, peanut butter and Jelly.
It'd be really fun if you went the opposite way where all of a
sudden you're like, dude, is that a?
Is that a sundae? Yes.
(01:09):
It's a hot dog in the middle with ice cream.
No, you got ice cream, but instead of of of strawberry
sauce it's a mustard some. Relish chili dog.
Chili dog on top of your ice cream.
Maybe some sauerkraut? Yeah, but then there's a big
thing of ice cream. Like something 2.
Scoops of vanilla ice cream. So the banana one, that's okay,
(01:30):
I mean, but the the spinning. Screwdriver, dude.
Yeah, it said when when Redditorhad come up with this idea about
a screwdriver that rotates to make it, you know, easier to put
in screws to basically realize that that was just the electric
drill. Dude, that reminds me this what
I this baby, the girl was high. I was, I used to when I was
networking a lot in when I was in the marketing world and sales
(01:54):
go to these investor meetings and stuff of that that one of
the guys hooked me up with. And the funniest stories came
out of their families. And these are really wealthy
people. And the this guy, his daughter
comes to, he's an investor. And she's like, she goes, dad,
I've got I've got the best invention in the world.
It'll make millions. He goes, all right, what is it?
(02:15):
And she goes, well, you know howI'm always losing my phone,
right? He goes, yeah, she goes, well,
what if we had like a cord that we hooked up that charged the
phone and we could hang it on the wall?
So he quickly does a Google search and says this what we
used to do. She goes, oh, I was so much
better. I hate that I lose my photo all
the time. And then I got to charge it.
Do you have to charge that? And he's like, no, it's just
(02:37):
plugged in. And she goes, it didn't require
any power. And it that's kind of cool
because it, it, it's young. Young people are saying there's
too much tech. You see it, dude, They're going
to vinyl. Oh yeah, that's why it's so damn
expensive. Yeah I used to buy buy vinyl for
like a reasonable price and now I'm buying like new albums for
(02:59):
$60.00 or something like what the fuck?
It's nuts. It's insane.
OK, so traffic light changer. It says that this actually
exists in emergency vehicles. Oh yeah.
And I didn't know that. I thought, oh, that's
interesting. I always thought that it would
be queued to like the cameras and some type of or maybe I
(03:20):
guess sensor or something. But you know, that it was kind
of automated was what my thoughtwas.
Yeah, that's probably way too high tech for them.
No. OK, OK, I'll get another one.
Garage door opener as they go past Babe.
So here's here's a mind bending Stoner question.
Oh, all right, let's hear it. Fridge versus refrigerator?
(03:41):
Why is there AD in fridge but not in refrigerator?
Can I throw out my quick like smart ass response Because
Americans are idiots and that's maybe we're the ones who came up
with that. Well, they just just.
The word because that seems likea very stupid spelling.
(04:01):
I have never actually thought about that, or at least not in
years. If it was pointed out before, do
you guys know why there's not ADin refrigerator but there is in
fridge? If you are out of America and
you understand, let us know. Oh.
OK, so why is there AD in fridge?
Even the refrigerator has no D In fridge, picking up the D will
(04:23):
help the pronunciation. Without it you'd pronounce frig
like fig. So fridge just looks and sounds
more right in English. Same thing.
Fridge equals chill, refrigerator equals mom's mad.
Or it it, it's in the bed, It's in a manual.
What? What the fuck?
(04:46):
But yeah, yeah, I'll do a littlebit more.
So yeah, there's that. If you get scared half to death
twice do you die? Yes.
Just going to. Answer yes.
Pull that one below. Let us know.
Do you guys think you die if youget scared half to death twice?
All right, Why does sticky glue stick to everything except the
(05:06):
inside of the bottle? I think there's something to do
with the type of plastic. When you.
Think about like. Something.
You ever done? I did this one time and I didn't
know it would happen, but it wasa long time ago.
And my sister-in-law, she was renting this place and she was
moving in with her brother in his basement to help out with
his kids. And she broke this cabinet door
(05:31):
right below the sink. You know, I have to open up like
this. She broke it somehow.
And it was just like they just leaned on it or something and
ripped it all out. And I'm like, shit.
So I'm like, well, you know what?
We could get some epoxy. We'll get some JB Weld epoxy for
wood and I'll put it together and then I'll come back the next
day and I'll I'll drill it all in and it'll be brand new.
(05:51):
And when I got there, I didn't have anything but she had these
Solo cups. Cut the Solo cup in half, poured
that in there and then set it onlike a paper plate and had like
a popsicle stick and just went to spackling.
After I was done, I went to pickup the plate like this and I
dropped it. It was so fucking hot.
The epoxy with the plastic that it was with.
(06:13):
Oh, on the plate. It because of the plastic, that
type of plastic. It.
Created a chemical reaction likesome things like, I forgot what
is it? There's an element like aluminum
or something or or like pure something.
When you throw it on water, it reacts and it sparks, it turns
into flames. Interesting.
So that's really cool. Yeah.
So it's like some things like that where the plastic like
(06:36):
super glue, like how does super glue stay in its state inside
that one? But you can use it to glue glue.
Yep. Like, you open it out and it's
yeah. Yeah, it's just, it's just.
Because yeah. It's the plastic.
When they're sealed in there too.
Once it's exposed to air and stuff, it'll.
Well, in that that and but yeah,you're right, you're right.
Because if it was exposed to air.
(06:56):
Because I'm thinking about like silicone tubes and everything
else, you know, they're they're fully enclosed in that plastic.
So the Stoner brain is working and the only reason why it stays
in there, not that that it is inplastic, but at the the key
element is air. Yeah, I would guess so.
Adding in air 'cause it's alwaysthe tops of it too, it'll get
exposed to air and you get that cap of dry whenever.
(07:17):
Just take it out. And realizing that's how it
works, you got freshed. Up.
Dude, the whole time before, I was thinking like, it was way
more complicated than that, but you're just like, oh, yeah, the
air. And I'm like, the fucking hell.
Like, it doesn't glue anything unless it's so you have to have
air. Probably.
It's just air. That's the magic you need for
super glue. Yeah.
Thank you. Marijuana.
All right. More bed, less bedroom.
(07:40):
If you buy a bigger bed, you getmore bedroom but less bedroom.
That's funny, this one I thoughtwas interesting.
Names are just noise. So asking someone's name is
basically going what noise do I make to get your attention?
What if it was like and you're like, OK.
Well, you think about primates, they they do.
(08:01):
They do, and birds and dogs. Really funny dude I saw.
This whole thing on like cats and how they communicate, Fuck,
they're they, they are very intelligent creatures.
They're very intelligent. I mean, if they're Moody
bitches, but. Oh, my God, yeah.
Emily's cat is such a it's been interesting.
She's gotten, like, way more conversational.
(08:23):
She comes out way more. She tries to sit on my lap.
Her cat will sit on my lap. Yeah.
Maybe it's like an indicator on how she's feeling.
But Emily loves it though because she's like, I love that
she loves you because she's had ex ex boyfriends and stuff who
that cat was terrified of. Well, yeah, because they fucking
hated cats. I don't like cats.
(08:43):
I don't. I mean, I've had some cool ones
in back in the day. All right, let's do clean soap
conundrum. If you drop the soap on the
floor is no, that's a dumb one. We all we all know that.
All right, let's see. Ketchup smoothie?
Is ketchup a smoothie because tomatoes are a fruit?
Does that technically make ketchup a smoothie?
(09:05):
It's going to ruin ketchup for me.
Every time. Go get yourself a bottle of
tomato smoothie. I hear it's great for French
fries, hamburgers, hot dogs. You know, anything that
Americans eat, ketchup goes great with for.
This one circle of life at Walmart.
There's both McDonald's and blood pressure machines at my
Walmart. Circle of life.
(09:26):
That's funny. Endless burrito.
The burrito I had was so big that halfway through, I couldn't
remember the time when I was eating it.
When I wasn't eating it. Certain strains of cannabis make
everything feel super slow, including time.
Yeah, which is cool. It's like that.
Remember that movie Dread? Did you ever watch Dread?
They have this drug in the movie.
(09:47):
And the only reason why they made-up this drug was a an
excuse to use slow MO for the action Zika.
So they have this drug called slomo, and they're like in
inhalers. And.
When you go, you hit it, it'll there's like a little bit of
fluid in there and it sparks it up in there to make it look
different because can't see it. So they they created a graphic
(10:10):
for it, but you inhale it and itslows time, your perception of
time down an eighth of real time.
So everything. And so this chick's in the water
and she's like lifting her hand up in the water like this, but
it's like, oh. That's.
Cool. And it's cool like like they,
they raid this room on a drug raid and they blow the lock.
(10:33):
And when they blow the lock, youget the perspective from
everybody being high. So with the, the door explodes,
this fat guy, he's got no shirt.You see the shockwave and the
ripples go all over here and thepeople being blowback and they
just come in there and waste everybody.
And it's like, that's, that's what some strains feel like,
like permanent, permanent chimera.
Permanent chimera, slow MO. That's what it should just be
(10:55):
renamed. Let's just call it slow MO
because permanent chimera. That's a fucking mouthful.
Even now that's hard to. It's like, Oh yeah, you.
Chimera, yeah. It's a good strain though.
Oh yeah, I really like it. Alright, what else we got?
So if you enter a competition byyourself, do you place first or
last? I.
Don't know, you have to lie or you have to absolutely win
(11:17):
because guess what? Both times you're going to win.
Yeah, I mean I. Or you're simultaneously the
winner and the loser. It's always a matter of
perception. Yeah.
Because I mean, you think about it, it's like.
Maybe it depends on the strain you smoked.
Dude, it sorry, it's like Jordanor come come contact Jordan,
right, Jordan, he's either his worst enemy or his greatest
(11:38):
hero. He's usually his worst enemy.
I suck stuff like that. So that that that I think that's
a matter of of perspective. Like you're like, if, if I feel
like I'm winning, what does winning look like?
Well, a good indicator is how often are you failing?
I was listening to, I'm a huge Jocko fan.
Just mindset that he has for leadership.
(12:01):
It's it's not beat him over the head.
It's lead by example. And it, it was really cool to
kind of go through how people perceive themselves.
If you're arrogant and you don'tknow it, I mean, there's
something going on in you, but that just destroys everybody
else around you. So it's that same thing inside
(12:22):
you. If you're like, yeah, I'm going
to win this, you're always goingto win.
It's like our buddy Bennett. Bennett doesn't see failure as
failure. He just sees it's another win
for him to go, oh, that's just the market telling me that's
fucking stupid. Go here and follow the
direction. So it's like, yeah, you just
(12:42):
shift. But if you're constantly having
this mindset of I suck, I lose, I'm probably not going to win.
Like, you know one thing I can'tstand that you do, man.
When you mess up in racing, it'sa Brandon.
It's just a mistake, dude. It's like I'm like, don't say
that. I mean, that's how much I care
about you, dude. I'm like when you say that, I'm
like, don't fucking say that to yourself.
That's fucking me, dude. Like I'll.
(13:02):
Say to me, it's just I making fun of myself.
I just never care. But it it's, it's negative self
talk and and then what happens when you start doing that?
I fucking destroy you the entiretime.
Yeah, I destroyed the entire time because pre manifest
destiny going I suck. Therefore I am.
And then you just you, you, you,you don't do as well.
(13:24):
And then we we race last night. It was such a close race, such a
close race. And he messed up on a corner and
I've messed up on a corner. It was awesome because it was
we're there for the moment. That's what I'm saying.
Like it it doesn't matter. Win or lose.
It matters for the moment and when you live in the moment,
you're not so concerned about the outcome.
I was more excited that we were racing against each other and it
(13:48):
was getting like close and and and you're doing the same thing
I am. You're you're like breaking a
certain, you know, I'll like that one tunnel in trial
mountain. You go like this.
I downshift into three coast, downshift into two coast and
then upshift into 3 and I just shoot right out of the tunnel
and I'm just like, dude, that's like you're doing the same
(14:10):
thing, because I can hear it. I can hear you shifting.
I know. Because you're that.
Close. And I'm like, when we allow
ourselves to just go, hey, it's the moment.
Win or lose, it's the moment. It's that whole mentality of
burn the ships and we're like, oh, we could get, look, burn the
ships. No, no, it's, it's defining it
going, I am going to win. And it's, it's like the warriors
(14:33):
of old, like the, I mean, I don't want to get too much into
the Spartan culture, but the idea, the belief of Spartans was
to go out there and the most important thing that you could
ever do as a warrior is to die in battle.
It means you gave it your all. Well, it's like that lie.
I mean, it's all fictitious. You know, the movie 300, it's
based off the Battle of Thermopylae.
But you know, unfortunately we didn't have a lot of people
(14:55):
there to tell us about it. It was really fucking long time
ago, but. The Instagram reels just aren't
as fresh on. That looks so grainy, but it was
this line that King Leonidas's wife Gorgo says to him.
She goes come, come back with your shield or on it.
And and it wasn't like this. Like it was just he he just oh,
(15:18):
yes, my, yes, my queen. Like he was just like, wow, you,
you know me. If she would have said don't
die. Yeah, like most people say to
their warrior that's going off to serve in some meaningless war
because they're all meaningless when it gets down to it.
But you know what? Whatever it's going for, right?
(15:39):
If you if you do that pre manifest destiny of telling
somebody going hey, don't die, right?
Hey, it's totally fun. Just don't look down.
Yeah, right. What the fuck?
You know they're gonna look down, right?
Yeah. All of those adult adult aids in
the bedroom are fine, even the sharp one.
Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense.
(15:59):
It's like, it's like, so don't now I'm gonna think all of them
are bad, right? Like, oh, I well, sorry, but
it's it, it really should be like just it.
It's not being overly optimisticand being stupid about it.
It's just saying, look, I'm going to win.
And seeing that even though I might not get the outcome, I'm
(16:20):
going to look for the good and the good is the win that I get
from it. Not for a positive affirmation,
but to start keeping your mindset.
You noticed that even in our lives, when we're not doing
great, we're not doing great andit's a lot of negative self shit
in our head. Like I've got this job.
I did not want to take this job.You, you and the hundreds of
(16:41):
thousands of people that are listening to us everyday.
I didn't want to take this job, but I told myself where the
economy is at, what I need to dofor my family, what I need to do
for myself. And that was like, whatever,
whoever calls you back, I applied for so many fucking
jobs. Whoever calls you back, take it.
And and I was like, dude, I, I remember the time was indeed.
And I picked that window company.
(17:02):
I'm like, they're not going to call me.
They're the first ones that called me.
And they're like, Hey, we'd liketo have you come in.
I go in on Tuesday, I meet with them and then no, on Tuesday
they give me a call. Wednesday, they invite me in.
By the time I'm leaving an hour later, they gave me a job and I
was like, cool. And they moved me up in a
position real fast. And I was like, cool.
(17:23):
Now, part of me was thinking they're going to probably ask me
to knock doors, and I had to change it around that moment.
I'm glad that question was in there because it's very
reflective right now. I just looked at going, no, this
is a great opportunity for you to be able to do that.
What's one thing you'd love, Jess?
You love meeting new people and you love making friends.
Well, this is an opportunity to make friends with everybody.
And guess what? You don't have to do the
(17:44):
difficult part. You don't have to do.
Hi, would you like to fuck off? OK, right now I can change it
up. Now.
I can be there when there's interest and that's awesome.
And I can, I, I saw it as an opportunity to be able to teach
these young lads that are going out there going, hey, it's about
connection. It's not about your offer or how
(18:04):
you present yourself in the mostintelligent way.
It's the most connected, empathetic way you should be.
At least that's my belief and. Those cells is more of an EQ,
not an IQ based. Totally, but a lot of people put
it as an IQ, which is weird, right?
And I, I don't know, now I'm like, even though it's not
(18:24):
ideal, I don't care. I'm like, it is ideal.
I had to change that in my head yesterday.
I'm like, it is ideal and it's going to be awesome and you're
going to love it and you're going to do it every day, not
because you have to, but becauseyou want to.
And, and if I keep flexing that muscle, it's like what I was
talking about. You got to keep that repetitive
moment. Like, you know, when I did
(18:46):
martial arts, it was my my seafood, my Kung Fu teacher.
He'd be like, cool, you wanna learn?
Awesome. Alright, well, come over to the
wall. We got these punching bags here.
You're gonna hit it 1000 times and then you can go into class.
It was like practicing piano allgrowing up in the hours.
It was like how many times you do scales and that.
And I was like, OK, so much of theory was put into it before
(19:08):
you even did the songs and everything else.
It was hours of endless theory like.
That's so awesome. I, I, I'm glad you said theory.
I, I don't understand music on that level, but that's the way
that I teach martial arts. There's theoretical and then
there's practical, and the theoretical needs to be played
in a lot because when it comes down to it, like a recital like
(19:31):
that, like. So much goes into it and
understanding because even like theory, you look at it and it's
really understanding. OK, well what is this little
dash or this note looks this way.
OK, what does that mean? Well, this is actually changing
the speed like all of this stuffand you're like, oh, shoot.
Well, this song becomes way different when you had all of
the like every like all the depth that comes with it.
(19:55):
You get quieter notes, louder notes, more like crescendo.
You get all of this stuff through there that you miss.
If you're just playing notes, you know, it's the same as hey,
I'm I'm doing punches. OK, well, but are you doing the
same? Like are you doing the motion?
Are you like, is all the theory behind it there?
Or are you just doing something and the outcome is kind of?
(20:19):
Broken and kind of sounds terrible because well you're
banging on the keyboard or you know, strumming crazy hard
'cause you're not actually playing the note you're.
And that's what mentorship really comes into it like,
unless you, because you've had really good men, I mean good and
bad mentors throughout your life.
Right, Grandma was my first piano teacher, right?
(20:40):
So. But that's in a way it's almost
like, you know, people would look at like my my mom would do
that when when I was studying Kung Fu at the time and I was
doing Wing Chun and my my Sipu had a teak dummy.
Teak is a very hardwood and it'sa rare wood.
And he, you know, if we're just going, he's like, he's like, you
(21:00):
got to seat it in there with your body, with the inner.
He's like, why'd you want to make?
And it's like hooked up with like these poles behind it.
And it's a log with these arms sticking out in different
places. Yeah.
And when I hit a. Good panda clack.
When he hit it, it went. Shook the whole it.
Shook the fucking foundation it was like.
And he was. He's as big as you.
Well, it's because his whole force is behind him.
(21:23):
It's not just like I'm not just hitting it, it's his whole body,
like everything is into that. Oh dude, I would come home black
and blue. I would do one movement.
Dude I remember the the we had this drill and I still know how
to do it directly like that because he was like grandma hard
this is the way and no love shown.
(21:45):
It was good. I think that she was my very
first piano teacher just because.
Strong foundation. Oh very much so from the
beginning and then after that I got more into like other higher
end teachers than that that werebetter suited for where I was
at. But Grandma was a fantastic
introduction. 1 You know, created a lot of my papers and
(22:07):
helped me do a lot of stuff growing up.
Think about now. She was just they're.
Still, a lot of that imprinted into you A. 100%.
You know, I, I envy that in manyways because when I was growing
up, I didn't really have my parents to like to kind of help.
And even though they probably wanted to, they were so busy and
(22:27):
I just had to figure things out on my own, which isn't bad
thing, but I, I wish I had more structure given to me because I
didn't have that structure in the home.
It was hard for me because things just came naturally to me
that were physical. So when I started studying
martial arts at 7 years old, when I started studying that
(22:47):
within two months. The teachers like me has natural
abilities. He's going through the belt
system quickly just because he memorizes them.
He must be practicing all the time.
And my parents said we've never seen him practice because I
would see it and I could committed to memory.
But then I would think I could do that with everything.
But with intellectual things or,or learning things.
I'm not I, I don't think of myself as extremely intelligent
(23:09):
by any means. I'm pretty basic as far as I'm
concerned. But I can, I know that I have to
repetitively put in there. And now I'm so grateful for it
now that I did that for such a long time that now things I just
memorized fast. And I'm like, oh, like math
would probably make more sense to me now.
And I wish I had that. It sounds fucked up 'cause we
(23:30):
both know how grandma was and and how.
There's good and bad. Yeah.
It's like like now I feel if I don't have structure in my day,
I'm left left feeling anxious because I don't know what to do.
Oh. Dude.
And versus like? I totally agree.
Versus otherwise, like growing up it was, hey, you've got to do
piano color, read, clean your room, do all this stuff before
(23:54):
lunch like so. And that's how my days have
always been. Like even when I would work most
of the time, I could just have avery structured day, bust my ass
and get everything done by lunchtime.
And then I'm like, cool, all right, I can fuck off for the
rest of the day because I've truly accomplished everything
that was needed to be done. But then it was just having that
structure and then I'm like, fuck, if I don't, you know, I
(24:16):
wake up and I'm like, what, whatdo I do?
I don't know, I've got all of these things I could do and it's
all the possibilities of what I could do instead of like, well,
this is what I should do. Just sit down and start working
on this and set up this structure.
And what do this 'cause I know that when I have that my body,
like my brain, it works so much better.
But otherwise I'm left floundering going, hey, well, I
(24:38):
could do this, or I could do this, or I could do this, or I
could do this, or I could do this or I could do this.
And then I'm like, well, where do I start?
Like, you know, because there's so many millions of things I
could be doing and my brain is always like, well, but don't do
the wrong thing though. So instead of doing the wrong
thing, I'm left in an analysis paralysis of what could
potentially be the right thing versus sitting down going, hey,
(25:01):
here's my work. I can get this done.
And I know that this work outputs this eventually.
So you're the researcher. Yeah.
And, and if you know, I, I, so when you're talking about that,
I was just like, yeah, I could imagine.
See, that's some of the things that I, I need to do more of.
But that's the, you know, and I always go into shapes because
it's such an easy indicator to be able to say, yeah, I know
(25:22):
what that means. And as many times as I've done
it that the people like Melanie,I did to her and it freaked her
out. They could really freaked her
out. She said something she's like,
I've never said that out loud. How did you make me do that?
Like magic. But dude, I crave structure.
I crave it. I subconsciously joined the
(25:42):
military because I know I neededstructure at 18 years old.
Interesting how like. It's like.
Subconsciously, yeah, it in the back of her mind we're like that
structure. It just really helped.
But yet at the same time we're like no, no, it's fine.
I just like wing it all, fly by the seat of my balls or
something and you're like, OK, well, it doesn't end up being.
(26:03):
Brandon has giant balls, just soyou've known.
They're huge. He sits on him sometimes.
Yeah, like, you know. He we actually dug these like
little pockets underneath there so his balls can like.
Actually fills the whole couch. Yeah, it's pretty crazy,
especially when it gets hot. Actually, this couch is my
balls. Now that was hilarious.
Yeah, yeah, I could say yeah, yeah.
These are some big balls you have here, Yeah, you know, and.
(26:25):
They're not the most possible, but you know.
Yeah, it's a little rough. Yeah, a little bit, but they're
kind of old, yeah. It's that wrinkle effect just
magnified. But yeah, Brandon's trying to
put an iron to get those wrinkles out, but it just walks
away with third degree. Barrels, the reason why we use
heated dab rigs, we just hope itlike on us, yeah.
Oh, that's totally We need to get rid of this couch.
(26:46):
Now mom, dad, I gear. I hope you're not listening.
No, I guarantee they are, but no, going back to I, I just
when, when I know that I need structure.
It's like your body needing nutrients where you feel your
body being pulled to something to eat it.
And when you really listen to your body and you eat something
and your body's OK with it and it doesn't treat you awful,
(27:08):
that's OK to eat, right? It's kind of funny.
It's like it going back all the way to Joe, one of our earlier
guests. You know the nose, nose.
If you smell a strain and it does not vibe with you, don't
smoke it. Like I love cheesy strings.
I do too. Love cheesy strings.
Jack Herrera is supposed to be kind of a cheesy strain.
(27:28):
I haven't had that dank enough flour or.
It's been a long time since we've had a lot of cheesy.
I love that stuff dude. Me too.
I like piss strains. Yeah, I miss a lot of the gassy
cheesy dude. Like really good old.
Strains Sour diesel is such an old one but I would love sour
diesel and food. Same I love sour Diesel.
(27:49):
There's been so much of the candies and all of the cookie
strains, all of those that have come through let's.
Go back to basics. Man, we got into cakes, all of
these crossbreeds, like the runts and shit.
Some of the names are just getting absolutely ridiculous.
It's like Elon Musk naming his kids.
I know just symbols someone throwing shit at well.
There we go. Yeah, it's going to be drippy.
(28:11):
Drippy. A corn clump.
All right, I oh man, like, I, I think about, like how I, I can
try and be better with it. And it's hard for me to put
structure in my life because I have too many thoughts And I,
I'm, I'm just, it's not that I'msuper creative.
(28:32):
It's, it's because it's kind of part of my behaviors and my
personality and what's deep in me.
I just create things. But the one thing you don't want
me to do is take that creation and push it out.
I have to focus on one really good thing that I can do for
that particular thing. If I try to do everything, I
overextend myself and I freeze or I avoid and then I smoke a
(28:55):
lot. And that's usually when I'm
avoiding things is when I'm smoking a lot and I'm like,
whoa, what? What's going on?
I don't feel like I'm productive.
I don't feel like, like I kickedmy own ass yesterday and I mowed
the lawn in 88° weather. And yeah, and I just, I stopped
because my electric mower ran out of battery.
I had this little pad. I got Mohawk in my backyard.
(29:17):
Damn. And that's it.
But I'm just like. That'll go fast.
But it was hot, yeah. And I didn't.
Care it's been warm. Because I was so in need of
completion and that's something I think we desire as people.
It's not to make money or to buycool shit, because these are
just symbols of completion. It it's literally like video.
(29:37):
It's. Accomplishment, yeah, look at,
look at what I've accomplished. It doesn't have to be and it
doesn't even have to be for someone else.
It's just you, the feeling of accomplishment, like and it's,
it's been a long time. One of the books or some podcast
I was listening to is talking about like such stupid simple
goals. Hey, I'm going to get out of
bed. I'm going to make my bed this
morning. Cool.
(29:58):
I accomplished that goal. I'm going to put my clothes in
The Dirty hamper. Hey, I accomplished that.
I'm going to eat breakfast. Stupid simple goals.
I'm going to drink some water today.
I'm like stupid simple things. Yeah, there was an Admiral with
this graduating class. OCS organized Chicken ship
Officer Candidate School is Richard Marcinco's The 8.
(30:22):
I mean, if you know who he is inthe Navy SEAL community, he is a
legend. He's no longer with us, but he
inspired me to get into leadership.
He really, he was his book RogueWarrior.
His he got thrown in prison after he got out, he created
SEAL Team 6 and he he did a lot of cool things.
The old SEAL Team 6 or they callit now Dev Guru or Red Cell
(30:46):
which were his creations. And it's so crazy because the
the seals will be like oh what team were you with on was blue
team, green team, golden team. These are all of his books.
So he rewrote all of the exploits re change the names and
locations but he's telling you missions that he did and it's
cool shit. I bet they're crazy.
(31:07):
Oh dude, he, he was in. Was it the Operation Command or
stuff like that in in the Pentagon when they were trying
to rescue these hostages in the Middle East in the 70s?
This was right before Reagan came on and there was a bunch of
like hijackings and they would take this, they were Islamists
or Muslim or whatever. It was somebody who was.
(31:27):
Some extremist the. Middle East were fighting
amongst each other as always, and they sent Delta Force to go
in there and Richard Marcinco islike, well, if you guys don't,
you need to land guys in there. And that's what they did.
And it turned out to be a horrible cat catastrophe where
these helicopters that couldn't really operate in dusty areas
(31:49):
because they're amphibian helicopters, one went into
another one because it couldn't see because of the dust.
And as at night time, they're not used to flying the the, the
sore, the special forces sore. Yeah, it the bunch of guys died.
They had to rescue him. Then they had all images over
there, the helicopters and you know these, I think it was in
(32:10):
Yemen or some of that or Somaliaor whatever.
But they're like showing pictures of the burnt helicopter
on the BBC and they're like, what the heck?
And he was like, Oh, no, you drop down giant railroad ties
full of C4, you drop those down,you blow them, you create your
own runway, land AC130 in there,deploy and then pick them back
up in that exfil. And they were supposed to go in,
(32:31):
rescue the hostages in exfil. Big clusterfuck, right?
But it's training for the environment, right?
So anyways, I'm going way too far off in that.
But Richard was like one of these guys that just talked
about like, you just got to get out there.
You can't you can't shortchange yourself.
Did he thought of himself as this bad motherfucker?
And he has like the 10, the the 10 commandments of the rogue
(32:54):
warrior I have memorized. And it's cool.
Like the first commandment is I will leave from the front and
not from behind the place that you'll always find me in the
battle. It will always be in the middle.
I will always be there, right. So he always had that motto and
I've always taken that I have should I should probably get the
10 commandments tattooed on my forearm right here.
That's a good idea. To do it though like.
(33:15):
Because you got to think about like, hey, I, I have to like his
10 commandments are own it, own it, own it, own it, own it.
Don't fucking make excuses. And I find myself making
excuses, find myself making excuses of why I wasn't more
productive today. I find myself making excuses
where, well, I said that out of anger because my life's here
(33:37):
instead of going, well, hey, this is your shit and it's not
their fault, but let's meet and figure it out.
And I had these internal conversations of going why are
you pissed? I even say shit out loud when I
say something stupid. And I know it's stupid.
We all know you said something fucking stupid.
If you're not drunk, you're stupid.
(33:58):
And as soon as it comes out of my mouth going and I know that
was stupid, but I'm pissed and Iwant to fucking say it and fuck,
I'm going to regret it later. But I'm just telling you why I
said that. And I walk away and I'm like,
how do you respond to that? All right, you know, it was
stupid. And I, I feel less horrible
about myself after because I go there going, Hey, I was way out
(34:21):
of line. But it's also not beating myself
up that I I can't fuck up. Life is nothing but a fuck up.
I I don't need to beat myself up.
One, yeah, it's the we're alwaysour harshest critics and looking
at our lives and shit. And that's why we judge others,
because we judge ourselves so hardly.
And I think, and it's, it's crazy to see or like hear, but I
(34:44):
don't remember if it was a philosopher, but it was like a
lot of our anger and frustrationthat we take out is internal
issues that we have that we're just, you know, and I'm like, oh
shit. Well, my biggest pet peeve is
being in the car. And that's where I'm most angry.
What about that? Like, so I'm, I, I've just been
trying to find out like, oh man,what is my underlying?
(35:05):
Like, what is causing that stem?Like why do I need to lash out
or feel that frustration? Like what is causing that there,
you know? It and it is it's it's all of it
is us and it's not our bullshit.It's our pain in on our pain.
That's why I call bullshit. It's your pain because it that
pain that is being created because you have an expectation.
(35:30):
And expectations are a great wayto be able to show you that
you're out of balance. Look at society.
Look at Americans in one camp oranother.
They're so expectant. I hate I I deserve this and the
other side. Says I deserve this.
Very entitled. Extremely entitled.
It's it's not necess it and it usually because you're
(35:51):
distracted. You know, I saw this video too.
It was like a conspiracy theory going do you know the time is
going faster? You know, it's really going
faster and you know why it's getting faster?
Because the Anunnaki are coming back.
And I'm like, what's like, no, you know why it's going faster?
Because we're more distracted than we've ever been before.
Yeah, our days disappear becausewe're on this little light box
(36:14):
in front of our face that we miss everything for days and
weeks and months. And it's like, where did the
time go? You tell me.
How many likes have you given? How many videos have you watched
this week like. Dude, my wife told me my my.
What's your screen time? My wife didn't say and and she
and now I'm thinking about it, Ishould have asked her to do
this, but she she was reading mydaughter because my daughter
(36:37):
loves to use my iPad. She she draws and all that and
I'm like, cool, it's productive.She dropped it got a crack on
the bottom. It's things, whatever.
But so my wife pulls up, there she goes.
You already played five hours and 20 minutes today.
No, no, you don't get that much said.
But we, we limit our kids. You get an hour and a half on
(36:58):
the weekdays. You get 3 hours on Saturday.
You can break it up throughout the day.
You can share it with your friends, you can share it with
each other, but you cannot play past that.
And she's always sneaking it. So it's just like, and then my
wife goes, oh, we got YouTube 38hours this week.
Never mind, it's OK. And I'm like, no, that's not OK.
(37:21):
Tell me what that is. And I'm like, OK, And then I
looked at it and I looked at based on there and I was like,
OK, it's not all me, but I took up probably about 60% of that.
And I'm like, wow. And so now I'm like, I don't
want to be entertained. I want to learn.
So if it's something useful or something that I think about or
I find would be curious, I'm going to do that.
(37:45):
I I don't, I don't even watch politics anymore because I'm
just like, yeah, somebody's angry again.
Yeah, you know. I was pleasantly surprised but
still kind of disappointed because to me social media still
feels like work so I try not stay on it.
But I I'd opened Instagram and was looking at it and was like,
hey, your average is like 9 1/2 minutes a day.
(38:07):
And I was like, that's not bad. But like, at the same time,
that's still 9 1/2 minutes that I probably really wasn't doing
that much on, you know? And I understand that with your
be behaviors, because for you it's you're not.
That I need to be doing. No, no, it's just like I really
gaining any value from it. Was it?
And and sometimes, yeah, like there was something that I'm
(38:27):
like, oh, that was funny or that.
And other times I'm like, it washabitual.
I sat down when I opened it. You know why you do?
It no. That's why I.
Don't have the one thing that weneed to get you soon, but.
On my motorcycle. Yes, because one of the things
with people like with, with, I'll just go into your shape.
You need to do something that fulfills a part of you.
(38:50):
And when you're out of balance, it means that you need that and
everything you do from longboarding, Frisbee golf,
whatever. I mean, do you do a lot?
You like to hike and stuff like that?
Me, like, I love working out at the gym.
I'll run on a treadmill, go fucking on the mountains until I
(39:10):
get there. And I'm like, this is awesome.
But all those things don't even matter.
It's like my wife told me she goes, well, yeah, you got your,
you got your outlet. It's the PlayStation.
I'm like, that's a distraction. That's not an outlet.
That's and it's OK, I choose to use that time, my time, but
still it's that feeling you get like that like you're like 09
(39:32):
minutes, you're beating yourselfof 9 minutes and you just heard
mine. I'm like like 60% of 3638 hours
or something like that. Like I know that's too much, but
at the same time, dude, like when you have you need to find
what what makes you feel that and you would tell me that like
but. See social media.
I know for me it doesn't bring me joy I'm not feeling, but it's
(39:53):
habitual. Yeah, and you're looking for it
because it is a dopamine hit. But for me, like I.
That's why I love the jokes. I would.
Love to go ride a motorcycle andthat was like, it was those
things that take away everythingelse.
The world disappears and all that's left in that moment is me
and that moment. So whoever I'm riding with and
(40:13):
that moment like nothing exists and I'm like, so I'm not in this
whole world of stress or other shit that goes on constantly.
I have better ideas. I can.
I processed all sorts of shit and like, that was my therapy.
I worked through so much just going on rides, but it was also,
I found so much more time and stuff.
(40:35):
And I also, I was taking photos.I was doing all this stuff that
for me was enjoyable. But it's not the same when I'm
at home. It's not like you know.
No, I mean, it's, it's Restful, but it's, it's, it's also
uncomfortable at the same time. When I, when all I do is not do
anything, it's uncomfortable to me.
That's why I like, I'm really looking forward to doing this
(40:56):
job because it's going to put mein a place where I haven't been
in a really long time, which isn't uncomfortable, just new,
just new. And that's the way I'm, I'm
thinking about it. I'm not thinking about what I'm
going to be doing or what I'm selling or whatever.
It's all down to I need a changein order for me to feel like I
can do more, which is kind of, Imean, and and that's what that's
(41:20):
what's been great. About for me on those couple
days was it was a change and I was like, I can do that.
That's that's. Ridiculous.
Yeah. And then and I loved how you got
like that change in value right away, where before, you know,
even like a long time ago, like when you would Plymouth job,
like, dude, I've never made thatmuch before.
And I'm like, yeah, you should ask for that.
And and your mind was like, how can I justify asking?
(41:42):
And I get that it comes from your family, you know, you know
what, what what value do you have to bring?
That's why Curtis used to alwaysshort himself.
What value do you? I mean, you're just going to get
fired? Oh yeah, and he left for. 10
years and that job for fucking. Hell, I know.
That's insane, right? And, and what did it do for him?
But The thing is, is that it's it's giving you the opportunity
(42:03):
to be able to do that. And we had such fucked up
examples growing up. And how to do that?
It's that relationship with the money.
There was a video Emily had sentme TikTok and it kind of talked
about a lot of our thoughts and perceptions aren't really ours.
They're just our parents. And it was like, oh, you know,
like the mom in the womb saying all these things and stresses
and all these things imprint on to that kid.
(42:24):
So you basically grow up with like your, your relationship
with money and you know, your dad's, hey, we don't show
emotions, we don't do this and all these things that it's just
this is what a man is. This is what a woman is that
they, and it's just subconsciously, unconsciously in
the back of our head creates these little ticks that create
us into who we are, which reallymight not be what we truly
(42:46):
believe, but it's what's just been so intertwined into us.
Like, Hey, your value is tied tothis.
Why? Why?
Why am I only valuable if I'm doing XYZ?
I think that comes down to the culture and the structure of the
culture, right? And then that that has a huge
difference on that and, and where people will say like,
well, I, you know, it's the culture.
(43:07):
You can't change that. Well, there's the reason why
there's subcultures and you can create that.
You know, it's like, you know, one of my proudest moments, man,
was like, you know how I love totell people, you know, thank you
for being here today. When I pay for something,
anything, no matter what I'm doing, they're providing a
service. It doesn't even know how small
it is. And then I heard my son do it
(43:28):
and Max did it like we were at, I told you at Leatherby's and
and he's eating this burger and he goes, this is the bet.
He's like way over the top, which is not like Max back in
the day. So he is really out there now
and and I've been coaching him and he he's just like, hey,
tells the waiter and he goes, who made the did you make it?
And he's like, no, I didn't. The cook did.
(43:50):
And he goes, this the best book.Can you tell him that?
He goes, do you want me to get him?
And my son goes, please. And the guy comes out and he
goes, did you make this burger? And he goes, yeah.
And he goes, I just want to tellyou, man, this is one of the
best burgers I've ever had because this is amazing burger.
Thank you for being here. And that kid who is the cook,
he'd lit up. And he's like, yeah, He's like,
thank you, man. The guy goes, The cook goes, I
(44:11):
got you. And I've noticed more the
reaction to other people whenever I say, hey, thank you
for being here. They.
They really like go. Oh yeah.
No problem. That's because you're most of
the interactions that they get are.
Where's this? Yep.
Or really frustrated and like, hey, you gave me shitty service.
(44:32):
I'm sorry that something happened that you weren't happy
with. Like, you know, but a lot of it
is really negative or short, nota service level interactions and
there's no real depth or even appreciation in it.
And so if someone comes and they're like, hey, I appreciate
you. It's like, holy shit.
Well, thank you like. Oh, dude, like when I've been on
food stamps before and you have to call in, you have to talk to
(44:56):
them and all that shit and you have to do like every six
months, you have to do a phone call interview and they just go
over everything of that. But when I used to start that, I
said, Hey, I really appreciate you being able to take this call
with me today. And the reason why I know that
because my dad did that, he, he was a Medicaid caseworker for
years. And every interaction my dad
would tell me was, oh, you did. This is super negative.
(45:19):
And he's just like he, he becameso callous that now he is the
grumpy old Mr. Wilson from Dennis and the Menace, like I
was telling you, because he's just grumpy all the time.
But it was because his environment slowly did that.
So I started thinking about it. Any person, no matter what, even
if they're calling you for bill collection, it is their fucking
(45:40):
job. They didn't, they don't hate
you. They're just trying to do the
job. So if you meet them going hey
man, I really appreciate you calling.
Look, here's the thing, I'm broke as fuck.
I can't pay you. So you can keep calling me.
But can we figure out something?Because I don't know what to do.
Can I cut your grass? Do you want me to mow your?
Do you want me to shave the chickens when we paint the
(46:01):
grass? What do you want me to do?
And if you started talking like that, they just go, they start
looking for ways to work with you.
It's like that guy you sent me with, right, Tony?
Like if, if he would have been able to tell go at that level
when interacting with the customer, like some of the
things that you saw, what do youthink would have happened?
(46:23):
I'll find a way to get you the money.
Yep, Such a better relationship,such a better understanding.
He might have been able to get areferral out of that because
money. Yeah.
And it's just, it's the relationship, it's the EQ that
comes with it of like, hey, I'm going to see the other human and
try and be understanding in thissituation and see that there
(46:44):
potentially just might be a sliver of a chance that there's
another perspective that is not mine.
Well, dude, and society's already showing the EQ is
desperately needed right now. And the way I can point that
out, how many mental health appsare out there now?
How many products are out there that talks about building mental
health from mushrooms to greens to everything has cannabis in it
(47:09):
now. And you're just like, what?
Yeah, it has cannabis. It's hemp.
It's hemp, it's hemp. But it's just like you can see
this cultural shift because it'slike what we were talking about
earlier, when when your body doesn't have something and when
it feels good when you use it, you know, you're on the right
path. And then you go fuck it up and
(47:30):
put some, like, greasy pizza in you.
Yeah. And you're like, I don't feel OK
after I ate that. I feel my my gut.
Yeah. Yours like OK, so you start
paying attention to it, but I think that's where even in our
interactions with ourselves, it's the exact same way.
It's that we put the greasy pizza on us until the good shit.
(47:50):
So the good shit like you were talking about, like, you know,
for you, if my day is planned out, then I'm going to feel way
more accomplished. And you won't you'll if you make
up an excuse to be able to go onthere, then I would just write
into the calendar going changed it and then put in parentheses
made excuse not to complete. And I go and at the end of the
(48:11):
week going, why didn't I do that?
Yeah, what am I doing? But that's really introspective.
And that's hard to do. But that's what I've loved about
12 shapes. It's just made me very
introspective. It helped me build my system
that I have now. But it is it's for me and and
for me to better understand other people, but to just stop
beating the fuck out of myself. Yeah, even though like, we're in
(48:35):
shit, I don't hate myself. Good.
You shouldn't, and you shouldn'teither.
Pay attention to the shoe, all right?
Anyway, so next week, TuneIn, wegot a Tuesday episode.
Could be a strain review, could be a learning episode.
And catch you guys on Thursday as well.
All right, see you then.
I'm Brandon. And I'm.
Jesse we're cannabis school having cannabis infused
conversations with everyday people, cannabis companies,
celebrities and your mom. Welcome to the sesh.
Hey, welcome back today we have a sesh episode for you guys.
Keeping things a little light and fun just after our CUD
(00:28):
episode of a cannabis use disorder episode on Tuesday.
So we're going to go over a bunch of like high thoughts and
Brandon came up with this crazy list of different ones of it's
super funny. Ideas.
High inventions, high questions.So here's one I want to throw at
you, the PB and J Banana hot dog.
(00:48):
Oh. I don't know if I, oh, it's
just, it's just a hot dog in that one.
And let's do like a rating on that one on creativity.
It's like a 11.5. Yeah, like putting a banana
inside a hot dog bun with like, peanut butter and Jelly.
It'd be really fun if you went the opposite way where all of a
sudden you're like, dude, is that a?
Is that a sundae? Yes.
(01:09):
It's a hot dog in the middle with ice cream.
No, you got ice cream, but instead of of of strawberry
sauce it's a mustard some. Relish chili dog.
Chili dog on top of your ice cream.
Maybe some sauerkraut? Yeah, but then there's a big
thing of ice cream. Like something 2.
Scoops of vanilla ice cream. So the banana one, that's okay,
(01:30):
I mean, but the the spinning. Screwdriver, dude.
Yeah, it said when when Redditorhad come up with this idea about
a screwdriver that rotates to make it, you know, easier to put
in screws to basically realize that that was just the electric
drill. Dude, that reminds me this what
I this baby, the girl was high. I was, I used to when I was
networking a lot in when I was in the marketing world and sales
(01:54):
go to these investor meetings and stuff of that that one of
the guys hooked me up with. And the funniest stories came
out of their families. And these are really wealthy
people. And the this guy, his daughter
comes to, he's an investor. And she's like, she goes, dad,
I've got I've got the best invention in the world.
It'll make millions. He goes, all right, what is it?
(02:15):
And she goes, well, you know howI'm always losing my phone,
right? He goes, yeah, she goes, well,
what if we had like a cord that we hooked up that charged the
phone and we could hang it on the wall?
So he quickly does a Google search and says this what we
used to do. She goes, oh, I was so much
better. I hate that I lose my photo all
the time. And then I got to charge it.
Do you have to charge that? And he's like, no, it's just
(02:37):
plugged in. And she goes, it didn't require
any power. And it that's kind of cool
because it, it, it's young. Young people are saying there's
too much tech. You see it, dude, They're going
to vinyl. Oh yeah, that's why it's so damn
expensive. Yeah I used to buy buy vinyl for
like a reasonable price and now I'm buying like new albums for
(02:59):
$60.00 or something like what the fuck?
It's nuts. It's insane.
OK, so traffic light changer. It says that this actually
exists in emergency vehicles. Oh yeah.
And I didn't know that. I thought, oh, that's
interesting. I always thought that it would
be queued to like the cameras and some type of or maybe I
(03:20):
guess sensor or something. But you know, that it was kind
of automated was what my thoughtwas.
Yeah, that's probably way too high tech for them.
No. OK, OK, I'll get another one.
Garage door opener as they go past Babe.
So here's here's a mind bending Stoner question.
Oh, all right, let's hear it. Fridge versus refrigerator?
(03:41):
Why is there AD in fridge but not in refrigerator?
Can I throw out my quick like smart ass response Because
Americans are idiots and that's maybe we're the ones who came up
with that. Well, they just just.
The word because that seems likea very stupid spelling.
(04:01):
I have never actually thought about that, or at least not in
years. If it was pointed out before, do
you guys know why there's not ADin refrigerator but there is in
fridge? If you are out of America and
you understand, let us know. Oh.
OK, so why is there AD in fridge?
Even the refrigerator has no D In fridge, picking up the D will
(04:23):
help the pronunciation. Without it you'd pronounce frig
like fig. So fridge just looks and sounds
more right in English. Same thing.
Fridge equals chill, refrigerator equals mom's mad.
Or it it, it's in the bed, It's in a manual.
What? What the fuck?
(04:46):
But yeah, yeah, I'll do a littlebit more.
So yeah, there's that. If you get scared half to death
twice do you die? Yes.
Just going to. Answer yes.
Pull that one below. Let us know.
Do you guys think you die if youget scared half to death twice?
All right, Why does sticky glue stick to everything except the
(05:06):
inside of the bottle? I think there's something to do
with the type of plastic. When you.
Think about like. Something.
You ever done? I did this one time and I didn't
know it would happen, but it wasa long time ago.
And my sister-in-law, she was renting this place and she was
moving in with her brother in his basement to help out with
his kids. And she broke this cabinet door
(05:31):
right below the sink. You know, I have to open up like
this. She broke it somehow.
And it was just like they just leaned on it or something and
ripped it all out. And I'm like, shit.
So I'm like, well, you know what?
We could get some epoxy. We'll get some JB Weld epoxy for
wood and I'll put it together and then I'll come back the next
day and I'll I'll drill it all in and it'll be brand new.
(05:51):
And when I got there, I didn't have anything but she had these
Solo cups. Cut the Solo cup in half, poured
that in there and then set it onlike a paper plate and had like
a popsicle stick and just went to spackling.
After I was done, I went to pickup the plate like this and I
dropped it. It was so fucking hot.
The epoxy with the plastic that it was with.
(06:13):
Oh, on the plate. It because of the plastic, that
type of plastic. It.
Created a chemical reaction likesome things like, I forgot what
is it? There's an element like aluminum
or something or or like pure something.
When you throw it on water, it reacts and it sparks, it turns
into flames. Interesting.
So that's really cool. Yeah.
So it's like some things like that where the plastic like
(06:36):
super glue, like how does super glue stay in its state inside
that one? But you can use it to glue glue.
Yep. Like, you open it out and it's
yeah. Yeah, it's just, it's just.
Because yeah. It's the plastic.
When they're sealed in there too.
Once it's exposed to air and stuff, it'll.
Well, in that that and but yeah,you're right, you're right.
Because if it was exposed to air.
(06:56):
Because I'm thinking about like silicone tubes and everything
else, you know, they're they're fully enclosed in that plastic.
So the Stoner brain is working and the only reason why it stays
in there, not that that it is inplastic, but at the the key
element is air. Yeah, I would guess so.
Adding in air 'cause it's alwaysthe tops of it too, it'll get
exposed to air and you get that cap of dry whenever.
(07:17):
Just take it out. And realizing that's how it
works, you got freshed. Up.
Dude, the whole time before, I was thinking like, it was way
more complicated than that, but you're just like, oh, yeah, the
air. And I'm like, the fucking hell.
Like, it doesn't glue anything unless it's so you have to have
air. Probably.
It's just air. That's the magic you need for
super glue. Yeah.
Thank you. Marijuana.
All right. More bed, less bedroom.
(07:40):
If you buy a bigger bed, you getmore bedroom but less bedroom.
That's funny, this one I thoughtwas interesting.
Names are just noise. So asking someone's name is
basically going what noise do I make to get your attention?
What if it was like and you're like, OK.
Well, you think about primates, they they do.
(08:01):
They do, and birds and dogs. Really funny dude I saw.
This whole thing on like cats and how they communicate, Fuck,
they're they, they are very intelligent creatures.
They're very intelligent. I mean, if they're Moody
bitches, but. Oh, my God, yeah.
Emily's cat is such a it's been interesting.
She's gotten, like, way more conversational.
(08:23):
She comes out way more. She tries to sit on my lap.
Her cat will sit on my lap. Yeah.
Maybe it's like an indicator on how she's feeling.
But Emily loves it though because she's like, I love that
she loves you because she's had ex ex boyfriends and stuff who
that cat was terrified of. Well, yeah, because they fucking
hated cats. I don't like cats.
(08:43):
I don't. I mean, I've had some cool ones
in back in the day. All right, let's do clean soap
conundrum. If you drop the soap on the
floor is no, that's a dumb one. We all we all know that.
All right, let's see. Ketchup smoothie?
Is ketchup a smoothie because tomatoes are a fruit?
Does that technically make ketchup a smoothie?
(09:05):
It's going to ruin ketchup for me.
Every time. Go get yourself a bottle of
tomato smoothie. I hear it's great for French
fries, hamburgers, hot dogs. You know, anything that
Americans eat, ketchup goes great with for.
This one circle of life at Walmart.
There's both McDonald's and blood pressure machines at my
Walmart. Circle of life.
(09:26):
That's funny. Endless burrito.
The burrito I had was so big that halfway through, I couldn't
remember the time when I was eating it.
When I wasn't eating it. Certain strains of cannabis make
everything feel super slow, including time.
Yeah, which is cool. It's like that.
Remember that movie Dread? Did you ever watch Dread?
They have this drug in the movie.
(09:47):
And the only reason why they made-up this drug was a an
excuse to use slow MO for the action Zika.
So they have this drug called slomo, and they're like in
inhalers. And.
When you go, you hit it, it'll there's like a little bit of
fluid in there and it sparks it up in there to make it look
different because can't see it. So they they created a graphic
(10:10):
for it, but you inhale it and itslows time, your perception of
time down an eighth of real time.
So everything. And so this chick's in the water
and she's like lifting her hand up in the water like this, but
it's like, oh. That's.
Cool. And it's cool like like they,
they raid this room on a drug raid and they blow the lock.
(10:33):
And when they blow the lock, youget the perspective from
everybody being high. So with the, the door explodes,
this fat guy, he's got no shirt.You see the shockwave and the
ripples go all over here and thepeople being blowback and they
just come in there and waste everybody.
And it's like, that's, that's what some strains feel like,
like permanent, permanent chimera.
Permanent chimera, slow MO. That's what it should just be
(10:55):
renamed. Let's just call it slow MO
because permanent chimera. That's a fucking mouthful.
Even now that's hard to. It's like, Oh yeah, you.
Chimera, yeah. It's a good strain though.
Oh yeah, I really like it. Alright, what else we got?
So if you enter a competition byyourself, do you place first or
last? I.
Don't know, you have to lie or you have to absolutely win
(11:17):
because guess what? Both times you're going to win.
Yeah, I mean I. Or you're simultaneously the
winner and the loser. It's always a matter of
perception. Yeah.
Because I mean, you think about it, it's like.
Maybe it depends on the strain you smoked.
Dude, it sorry, it's like Jordanor come come contact Jordan,
right, Jordan, he's either his worst enemy or his greatest
(11:38):
hero. He's usually his worst enemy.
I suck stuff like that. So that that that I think that's
a matter of of perspective. Like you're like, if, if I feel
like I'm winning, what does winning look like?
Well, a good indicator is how often are you failing?
I was listening to, I'm a huge Jocko fan.
Just mindset that he has for leadership.
(12:01):
It's it's not beat him over the head.
It's lead by example. And it, it was really cool to
kind of go through how people perceive themselves.
If you're arrogant and you don'tknow it, I mean, there's
something going on in you, but that just destroys everybody
else around you. So it's that same thing inside
(12:22):
you. If you're like, yeah, I'm going
to win this, you're always goingto win.
It's like our buddy Bennett. Bennett doesn't see failure as
failure. He just sees it's another win
for him to go, oh, that's just the market telling me that's
fucking stupid. Go here and follow the
direction. So it's like, yeah, you just
(12:42):
shift. But if you're constantly having
this mindset of I suck, I lose, I'm probably not going to win.
Like, you know one thing I can'tstand that you do, man.
When you mess up in racing, it'sa Brandon.
It's just a mistake, dude. It's like I'm like, don't say
that. I mean, that's how much I care
about you, dude. I'm like when you say that, I'm
like, don't fucking say that to yourself.
That's fucking me, dude. Like I'll.
(13:02):
Say to me, it's just I making fun of myself.
I just never care. But it it's, it's negative self
talk and and then what happens when you start doing that?
I fucking destroy you the entiretime.
Yeah, I destroyed the entire time because pre manifest
destiny going I suck. Therefore I am.
And then you just you, you, you,you don't do as well.
(13:24):
And then we we race last night. It was such a close race, such a
close race. And he messed up on a corner and
I've messed up on a corner. It was awesome because it was
we're there for the moment. That's what I'm saying.
Like it it doesn't matter. Win or lose.
It matters for the moment and when you live in the moment,
you're not so concerned about the outcome.
I was more excited that we were racing against each other and it
(13:48):
was getting like close and and and you're doing the same thing
I am. You're you're like breaking a
certain, you know, I'll like that one tunnel in trial
mountain. You go like this.
I downshift into three coast, downshift into two coast and
then upshift into 3 and I just shoot right out of the tunnel
and I'm just like, dude, that's like you're doing the same
(14:10):
thing, because I can hear it. I can hear you shifting.
I know. Because you're that.
Close. And I'm like, when we allow
ourselves to just go, hey, it's the moment.
Win or lose, it's the moment. It's that whole mentality of
burn the ships and we're like, oh, we could get, look, burn the
ships. No, no, it's, it's defining it
going, I am going to win. And it's, it's like the warriors
(14:33):
of old, like the, I mean, I don't want to get too much into
the Spartan culture, but the idea, the belief of Spartans was
to go out there and the most important thing that you could
ever do as a warrior is to die in battle.
It means you gave it your all. Well, it's like that lie.
I mean, it's all fictitious. You know, the movie 300, it's
based off the Battle of Thermopylae.
But you know, unfortunately we didn't have a lot of people
(14:55):
there to tell us about it. It was really fucking long time
ago, but. The Instagram reels just aren't
as fresh on. That looks so grainy, but it was
this line that King Leonidas's wife Gorgo says to him.
She goes come, come back with your shield or on it.
And and it wasn't like this. Like it was just he he just oh,
(15:18):
yes, my, yes, my queen. Like he was just like, wow, you,
you know me. If she would have said don't
die. Yeah, like most people say to
their warrior that's going off to serve in some meaningless war
because they're all meaningless when it gets down to it.
But you know what? Whatever it's going for, right?
(15:39):
If you if you do that pre manifest destiny of telling
somebody going hey, don't die, right?
Hey, it's totally fun. Just don't look down.
Yeah, right. What the fuck?
You know they're gonna look down, right?
Yeah. All of those adult adult aids in
the bedroom are fine, even the sharp one.
Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense.
(15:59):
It's like, it's like, so don't now I'm gonna think all of them
are bad, right? Like, oh, I well, sorry, but
it's it, it really should be like just it.
It's not being overly optimisticand being stupid about it.
It's just saying, look, I'm going to win.
And seeing that even though I might not get the outcome, I'm
(16:20):
going to look for the good and the good is the win that I get
from it. Not for a positive affirmation,
but to start keeping your mindset.
You noticed that even in our lives, when we're not doing
great, we're not doing great andit's a lot of negative self shit
in our head. Like I've got this job.
I did not want to take this job.You, you and the hundreds of
(16:41):
thousands of people that are listening to us everyday.
I didn't want to take this job, but I told myself where the
economy is at, what I need to dofor my family, what I need to do
for myself. And that was like, whatever,
whoever calls you back, I applied for so many fucking
jobs. Whoever calls you back, take it.
And and I was like, dude, I, I remember the time was indeed.
And I picked that window company.
(17:02):
I'm like, they're not going to call me.
They're the first ones that called me.
And they're like, Hey, we'd liketo have you come in.
I go in on Tuesday, I meet with them and then no, on Tuesday
they give me a call. Wednesday, they invite me in.
By the time I'm leaving an hour later, they gave me a job and I
was like, cool. And they moved me up in a
position real fast. And I was like, cool.
(17:23):
Now, part of me was thinking they're going to probably ask me
to knock doors, and I had to change it around that moment.
I'm glad that question was in there because it's very
reflective right now. I just looked at going, no, this
is a great opportunity for you to be able to do that.
What's one thing you'd love, Jess?
You love meeting new people and you love making friends.
Well, this is an opportunity to make friends with everybody.
And guess what? You don't have to do the
(17:44):
difficult part. You don't have to do.
Hi, would you like to fuck off? OK, right now I can change it
up. Now.
I can be there when there's interest and that's awesome.
And I can, I, I saw it as an opportunity to be able to teach
these young lads that are going out there going, hey, it's about
connection. It's not about your offer or how
(18:04):
you present yourself in the mostintelligent way.
It's the most connected, empathetic way you should be.
At least that's my belief and. Those cells is more of an EQ,
not an IQ based. Totally, but a lot of people put
it as an IQ, which is weird, right?
And I, I don't know, now I'm like, even though it's not
(18:24):
ideal, I don't care. I'm like, it is ideal.
I had to change that in my head yesterday.
I'm like, it is ideal and it's going to be awesome and you're
going to love it and you're going to do it every day, not
because you have to, but becauseyou want to.
And, and if I keep flexing that muscle, it's like what I was
talking about. You got to keep that repetitive
moment. Like, you know, when I did
(18:46):
martial arts, it was my my seafood, my Kung Fu teacher.
He'd be like, cool, you wanna learn?
Awesome. Alright, well, come over to the
wall. We got these punching bags here.
You're gonna hit it 1000 times and then you can go into class.
It was like practicing piano allgrowing up in the hours.
It was like how many times you do scales and that.
And I was like, OK, so much of theory was put into it before
(19:08):
you even did the songs and everything else.
It was hours of endless theory like.
That's so awesome. I, I, I'm glad you said theory.
I, I don't understand music on that level, but that's the way
that I teach martial arts. There's theoretical and then
there's practical, and the theoretical needs to be played
in a lot because when it comes down to it, like a recital like
(19:31):
that, like. So much goes into it and
understanding because even like theory, you look at it and it's
really understanding. OK, well what is this little
dash or this note looks this way.
OK, what does that mean? Well, this is actually changing
the speed like all of this stuffand you're like, oh, shoot.
Well, this song becomes way different when you had all of
the like every like all the depth that comes with it.
(19:55):
You get quieter notes, louder notes, more like crescendo.
You get all of this stuff through there that you miss.
If you're just playing notes, you know, it's the same as hey,
I'm I'm doing punches. OK, well, but are you doing the
same? Like are you doing the motion?
Are you like, is all the theory behind it there?
Or are you just doing something and the outcome is kind of?
(20:19):
Broken and kind of sounds terrible because well you're
banging on the keyboard or you know, strumming crazy hard
'cause you're not actually playing the note you're.
And that's what mentorship really comes into it like,
unless you, because you've had really good men, I mean good and
bad mentors throughout your life.
Right, Grandma was my first piano teacher, right?
(20:40):
So. But that's in a way it's almost
like, you know, people would look at like my my mom would do
that when when I was studying Kung Fu at the time and I was
doing Wing Chun and my my Sipu had a teak dummy.
Teak is a very hardwood and it'sa rare wood.
And he, you know, if we're just going, he's like, he's like, you
(21:00):
got to seat it in there with your body, with the inner.
He's like, why'd you want to make?
And it's like hooked up with like these poles behind it.
And it's a log with these arms sticking out in different
places. Yeah.
And when I hit a. Good panda clack.
When he hit it, it went. Shook the whole it.
Shook the fucking foundation it was like.
And he was. He's as big as you.
Well, it's because his whole force is behind him.
(21:23):
It's not just like I'm not just hitting it, it's his whole body,
like everything is into that. Oh dude, I would come home black
and blue. I would do one movement.
Dude I remember the the we had this drill and I still know how
to do it directly like that because he was like grandma hard
this is the way and no love shown.
(21:45):
It was good. I think that she was my very
first piano teacher just because.
Strong foundation. Oh very much so from the
beginning and then after that I got more into like other higher
end teachers than that that werebetter suited for where I was
at. But Grandma was a fantastic
introduction. 1 You know, created a lot of my papers and
(22:07):
helped me do a lot of stuff growing up.
Think about now. She was just they're.
Still, a lot of that imprinted into you A. 100%.
You know, I, I envy that in manyways because when I was growing
up, I didn't really have my parents to like to kind of help.
And even though they probably wanted to, they were so busy and
(22:27):
I just had to figure things out on my own, which isn't bad
thing, but I, I wish I had more structure given to me because I
didn't have that structure in the home.
It was hard for me because things just came naturally to me
that were physical. So when I started studying
martial arts at 7 years old, when I started studying that
(22:47):
within two months. The teachers like me has natural
abilities. He's going through the belt
system quickly just because he memorizes them.
He must be practicing all the time.
And my parents said we've never seen him practice because I
would see it and I could committed to memory.
But then I would think I could do that with everything.
But with intellectual things or,or learning things.
I'm not I, I don't think of myself as extremely intelligent
(23:09):
by any means. I'm pretty basic as far as I'm
concerned. But I can, I know that I have to
repetitively put in there. And now I'm so grateful for it
now that I did that for such a long time that now things I just
memorized fast. And I'm like, oh, like math
would probably make more sense to me now.
And I wish I had that. It sounds fucked up 'cause we
(23:30):
both know how grandma was and and how.
There's good and bad. Yeah.
It's like like now I feel if I don't have structure in my day,
I'm left left feeling anxious because I don't know what to do.
Oh. Dude.
And versus like? I totally agree.
Versus otherwise, like growing up it was, hey, you've got to do
piano color, read, clean your room, do all this stuff before
(23:54):
lunch like so. And that's how my days have
always been. Like even when I would work most
of the time, I could just have avery structured day, bust my ass
and get everything done by lunchtime.
And then I'm like, cool, all right, I can fuck off for the
rest of the day because I've truly accomplished everything
that was needed to be done. But then it was just having that
structure and then I'm like, fuck, if I don't, you know, I
(24:16):
wake up and I'm like, what, whatdo I do?
I don't know, I've got all of these things I could do and it's
all the possibilities of what I could do instead of like, well,
this is what I should do. Just sit down and start working
on this and set up this structure.
And what do this 'cause I know that when I have that my body,
like my brain, it works so much better.
But otherwise I'm left floundering going, hey, well, I
(24:38):
could do this, or I could do this, or I could do this, or I
could do this, or I could do this or I could do this.
And then I'm like, well, where do I start?
Like, you know, because there's so many millions of things I
could be doing and my brain is always like, well, but don't do
the wrong thing though. So instead of doing the wrong
thing, I'm left in an analysis paralysis of what could
potentially be the right thing versus sitting down going, hey,
(25:01):
here's my work. I can get this done.
And I know that this work outputs this eventually.
So you're the researcher. Yeah.
And, and if you know, I, I, so when you're talking about that,
I was just like, yeah, I could imagine.
See, that's some of the things that I, I need to do more of.
But that's the, you know, and I always go into shapes because
it's such an easy indicator to be able to say, yeah, I know
(25:22):
what that means. And as many times as I've done
it that the people like Melanie,I did to her and it freaked her
out. They could really freaked her
out. She said something she's like,
I've never said that out loud. How did you make me do that?
Like magic. But dude, I crave structure.
I crave it. I subconsciously joined the
(25:42):
military because I know I neededstructure at 18 years old.
Interesting how like. It's like.
Subconsciously, yeah, it in the back of her mind we're like that
structure. It just really helped.
But yet at the same time we're like no, no, it's fine.
I just like wing it all, fly by the seat of my balls or
something and you're like, OK, well, it doesn't end up being.
(26:03):
Brandon has giant balls, just soyou've known.
They're huge. He sits on him sometimes.
Yeah, like, you know. He we actually dug these like
little pockets underneath there so his balls can like.
Actually fills the whole couch. Yeah, it's pretty crazy,
especially when it gets hot. Actually, this couch is my
balls. Now that was hilarious.
Yeah, yeah, I could say yeah, yeah.
These are some big balls you have here, Yeah, you know, and.
(26:25):
They're not the most possible, but you know.
Yeah, it's a little rough. Yeah, a little bit, but they're
kind of old, yeah. It's that wrinkle effect just
magnified. But yeah, Brandon's trying to
put an iron to get those wrinkles out, but it just walks
away with third degree. Barrels, the reason why we use
heated dab rigs, we just hope itlike on us, yeah.
Oh, that's totally We need to get rid of this couch.
(26:46):
Now mom, dad, I gear. I hope you're not listening.
No, I guarantee they are, but no, going back to I, I just
when, when I know that I need structure.
It's like your body needing nutrients where you feel your
body being pulled to something to eat it.
And when you really listen to your body and you eat something
and your body's OK with it and it doesn't treat you awful,
(27:08):
that's OK to eat, right? It's kind of funny.
It's like it going back all the way to Joe, one of our earlier
guests. You know the nose, nose.
If you smell a strain and it does not vibe with you, don't
smoke it. Like I love cheesy strings.
I do too. Love cheesy strings.
Jack Herrera is supposed to be kind of a cheesy strain.
(27:28):
I haven't had that dank enough flour or.
It's been a long time since we've had a lot of cheesy.
I love that stuff dude. Me too.
I like piss strains. Yeah, I miss a lot of the gassy
cheesy dude. Like really good old.
Strains Sour diesel is such an old one but I would love sour
diesel and food. Same I love sour Diesel.
(27:49):
There's been so much of the candies and all of the cookie
strains, all of those that have come through let's.
Go back to basics. Man, we got into cakes, all of
these crossbreeds, like the runts and shit.
Some of the names are just getting absolutely ridiculous.
It's like Elon Musk naming his kids.
I know just symbols someone throwing shit at well.
There we go. Yeah, it's going to be drippy.
(28:11):
Drippy. A corn clump.
All right, I oh man, like, I, I think about, like how I, I can
try and be better with it. And it's hard for me to put
structure in my life because I have too many thoughts And I,
I'm, I'm just, it's not that I'msuper creative.
(28:32):
It's, it's because it's kind of part of my behaviors and my
personality and what's deep in me.
I just create things. But the one thing you don't want
me to do is take that creation and push it out.
I have to focus on one really good thing that I can do for
that particular thing. If I try to do everything, I
overextend myself and I freeze or I avoid and then I smoke a
(28:55):
lot. And that's usually when I'm
avoiding things is when I'm smoking a lot and I'm like,
whoa, what? What's going on?
I don't feel like I'm productive.
I don't feel like, like I kickedmy own ass yesterday and I mowed
the lawn in 88° weather. And yeah, and I just, I stopped
because my electric mower ran out of battery.
I had this little pad. I got Mohawk in my backyard.
(29:17):
Damn. And that's it.
But I'm just like. That'll go fast.
But it was hot, yeah. And I didn't.
Care it's been warm. Because I was so in need of
completion and that's something I think we desire as people.
It's not to make money or to buycool shit, because these are
just symbols of completion. It it's literally like video.
(29:37):
It's. Accomplishment, yeah, look at,
look at what I've accomplished. It doesn't have to be and it
doesn't even have to be for someone else.
It's just you, the feeling of accomplishment, like and it's,
it's been a long time. One of the books or some podcast
I was listening to is talking about like such stupid simple
goals. Hey, I'm going to get out of
bed. I'm going to make my bed this
morning. Cool.
(29:58):
I accomplished that goal. I'm going to put my clothes in
The Dirty hamper. Hey, I accomplished that.
I'm going to eat breakfast. Stupid simple goals.
I'm going to drink some water today.
I'm like stupid simple things. Yeah, there was an Admiral with
this graduating class. OCS organized Chicken ship
Officer Candidate School is Richard Marcinco's The 8.
(30:22):
I mean, if you know who he is inthe Navy SEAL community, he is a
legend. He's no longer with us, but he
inspired me to get into leadership.
He really, he was his book RogueWarrior.
His he got thrown in prison after he got out, he created
SEAL Team 6 and he he did a lot of cool things.
The old SEAL Team 6 or they callit now Dev Guru or Red Cell
(30:46):
which were his creations. And it's so crazy because the
the seals will be like oh what team were you with on was blue
team, green team, golden team. These are all of his books.
So he rewrote all of the exploits re change the names and
locations but he's telling you missions that he did and it's
cool shit. I bet they're crazy.
(31:07):
Oh dude, he, he was in. Was it the Operation Command or
stuff like that in in the Pentagon when they were trying
to rescue these hostages in the Middle East in the 70s?
This was right before Reagan came on and there was a bunch of
like hijackings and they would take this, they were Islamists
or Muslim or whatever. It was somebody who was.
(31:27):
Some extremist the. Middle East were fighting
amongst each other as always, and they sent Delta Force to go
in there and Richard Marcinco islike, well, if you guys don't,
you need to land guys in there. And that's what they did.
And it turned out to be a horrible cat catastrophe where
these helicopters that couldn't really operate in dusty areas
(31:49):
because they're amphibian helicopters, one went into
another one because it couldn't see because of the dust.
And as at night time, they're not used to flying the the, the
sore, the special forces sore. Yeah, it the bunch of guys died.
They had to rescue him. Then they had all images over
there, the helicopters and you know these, I think it was in
(32:10):
Yemen or some of that or Somaliaor whatever.
But they're like showing pictures of the burnt helicopter
on the BBC and they're like, what the heck?
And he was like, Oh, no, you drop down giant railroad ties
full of C4, you drop those down,you blow them, you create your
own runway, land AC130 in there,deploy and then pick them back
up in that exfil. And they were supposed to go in,
(32:31):
rescue the hostages in exfil. Big clusterfuck, right?
But it's training for the environment, right?
So anyways, I'm going way too far off in that.
But Richard was like one of these guys that just talked
about like, you just got to get out there.
You can't you can't shortchange yourself.
Did he thought of himself as this bad motherfucker?
And he has like the 10, the the 10 commandments of the rogue
(32:54):
warrior I have memorized. And it's cool.
Like the first commandment is I will leave from the front and
not from behind the place that you'll always find me in the
battle. It will always be in the middle.
I will always be there, right. So he always had that motto and
I've always taken that I have should I should probably get the
10 commandments tattooed on my forearm right here.
That's a good idea. To do it though like.
(33:15):
Because you got to think about like, hey, I, I have to like his
10 commandments are own it, own it, own it, own it, own it.
Don't fucking make excuses. And I find myself making
excuses, find myself making excuses of why I wasn't more
productive today. I find myself making excuses
where, well, I said that out of anger because my life's here
(33:37):
instead of going, well, hey, this is your shit and it's not
their fault, but let's meet and figure it out.
And I had these internal conversations of going why are
you pissed? I even say shit out loud when I
say something stupid. And I know it's stupid.
We all know you said something fucking stupid.
If you're not drunk, you're stupid.
(33:58):
And as soon as it comes out of my mouth going and I know that
was stupid, but I'm pissed and Iwant to fucking say it and fuck,
I'm going to regret it later. But I'm just telling you why I
said that. And I walk away and I'm like,
how do you respond to that? All right, you know, it was
stupid. And I, I feel less horrible
about myself after because I go there going, Hey, I was way out
(34:21):
of line. But it's also not beating myself
up that I I can't fuck up. Life is nothing but a fuck up.
I I don't need to beat myself up.
One, yeah, it's the we're alwaysour harshest critics and looking
at our lives and shit. And that's why we judge others,
because we judge ourselves so hardly.
And I think, and it's, it's crazy to see or like hear, but I
(34:44):
don't remember if it was a philosopher, but it was like a
lot of our anger and frustrationthat we take out is internal
issues that we have that we're just, you know, and I'm like, oh
shit. Well, my biggest pet peeve is
being in the car. And that's where I'm most angry.
What about that? Like, so I'm, I, I've just been
trying to find out like, oh man,what is my underlying?
(35:05):
Like, what is causing that stem?Like why do I need to lash out
or feel that frustration? Like what is causing that there,
you know? It and it is it's it's all of it
is us and it's not our bullshit.It's our pain in on our pain.
That's why I call bullshit. It's your pain because it that
pain that is being created because you have an expectation.
(35:30):
And expectations are a great wayto be able to show you that
you're out of balance. Look at society.
Look at Americans in one camp oranother.
They're so expectant. I hate I I deserve this and the
other side. Says I deserve this.
Very entitled. Extremely entitled.
It's it's not necess it and it usually because you're
(35:51):
distracted. You know, I saw this video too.
It was like a conspiracy theory going do you know the time is
going faster? You know, it's really going
faster and you know why it's getting faster?
Because the Anunnaki are coming back.
And I'm like, what's like, no, you know why it's going faster?
Because we're more distracted than we've ever been before.
Yeah, our days disappear becausewe're on this little light box
(36:14):
in front of our face that we miss everything for days and
weeks and months. And it's like, where did the
time go? You tell me.
How many likes have you given? How many videos have you watched
this week like. Dude, my wife told me my my.
What's your screen time? My wife didn't say and and she
and now I'm thinking about it, Ishould have asked her to do
this, but she she was reading mydaughter because my daughter
(36:37):
loves to use my iPad. She she draws and all that and
I'm like, cool, it's productive.She dropped it got a crack on
the bottom. It's things, whatever.
But so my wife pulls up, there she goes.
You already played five hours and 20 minutes today.
No, no, you don't get that much said.
But we, we limit our kids. You get an hour and a half on
(36:58):
the weekdays. You get 3 hours on Saturday.
You can break it up throughout the day.
You can share it with your friends, you can share it with
each other, but you cannot play past that.
And she's always sneaking it. So it's just like, and then my
wife goes, oh, we got YouTube 38hours this week.
Never mind, it's OK. And I'm like, no, that's not OK.
(37:21):
Tell me what that is. And I'm like, OK, And then I
looked at it and I looked at based on there and I was like,
OK, it's not all me, but I took up probably about 60% of that.
And I'm like, wow. And so now I'm like, I don't
want to be entertained. I want to learn.
So if it's something useful or something that I think about or
I find would be curious, I'm going to do that.
(37:45):
I I don't, I don't even watch politics anymore because I'm
just like, yeah, somebody's angry again.
Yeah, you know. I was pleasantly surprised but
still kind of disappointed because to me social media still
feels like work so I try not stay on it.
But I I'd opened Instagram and was looking at it and was like,
hey, your average is like 9 1/2 minutes a day.
(38:07):
And I was like, that's not bad. But like, at the same time,
that's still 9 1/2 minutes that I probably really wasn't doing
that much on, you know? And I understand that with your
be behaviors, because for you it's you're not.
That I need to be doing. No, no, it's just like I really
gaining any value from it. Was it?
And and sometimes, yeah, like there was something that I'm
(38:27):
like, oh, that was funny or that.
And other times I'm like, it washabitual.
I sat down when I opened it. You know why you do?
It no. That's why I.
Don't have the one thing that weneed to get you soon, but.
On my motorcycle. Yes, because one of the things
with people like with, with, I'll just go into your shape.
You need to do something that fulfills a part of you.
(38:50):
And when you're out of balance, it means that you need that and
everything you do from longboarding, Frisbee golf,
whatever. I mean, do you do a lot?
You like to hike and stuff like that?
Me, like, I love working out at the gym.
I'll run on a treadmill, go fucking on the mountains until I
(39:10):
get there. And I'm like, this is awesome.
But all those things don't even matter.
It's like my wife told me she goes, well, yeah, you got your,
you got your outlet. It's the PlayStation.
I'm like, that's a distraction. That's not an outlet.
That's and it's OK, I choose to use that time, my time, but
still it's that feeling you get like that like you're like 09
(39:32):
minutes, you're beating yourselfof 9 minutes and you just heard
mine. I'm like like 60% of 3638 hours
or something like that. Like I know that's too much, but
at the same time, dude, like when you have you need to find
what what makes you feel that and you would tell me that like
but. See social media.
I know for me it doesn't bring me joy I'm not feeling, but it's
(39:53):
habitual. Yeah, and you're looking for it
because it is a dopamine hit. But for me, like I.
That's why I love the jokes. I would.
Love to go ride a motorcycle andthat was like, it was those
things that take away everythingelse.
The world disappears and all that's left in that moment is me
and that moment. So whoever I'm riding with and
(40:13):
that moment like nothing exists and I'm like, so I'm not in this
whole world of stress or other shit that goes on constantly.
I have better ideas. I can.
I processed all sorts of shit and like, that was my therapy.
I worked through so much just going on rides, but it was also,
I found so much more time and stuff.
(40:35):
And I also, I was taking photos.I was doing all this stuff that
for me was enjoyable. But it's not the same when I'm
at home. It's not like you know.
No, I mean, it's, it's Restful, but it's, it's, it's also
uncomfortable at the same time. When I, when all I do is not do
anything, it's uncomfortable to me.
That's why I like, I'm really looking forward to doing this
(40:56):
job because it's going to put mein a place where I haven't been
in a really long time, which isn't uncomfortable, just new,
just new. And that's the way I'm, I'm
thinking about it. I'm not thinking about what I'm
going to be doing or what I'm selling or whatever.
It's all down to I need a changein order for me to feel like I
can do more, which is kind of, Imean, and and that's what that's
(41:20):
what's been great. About for me on those couple
days was it was a change and I was like, I can do that.
That's that's. Ridiculous.
Yeah. And then and I loved how you got
like that change in value right away, where before, you know,
even like a long time ago, like when you would Plymouth job,
like, dude, I've never made thatmuch before.
And I'm like, yeah, you should ask for that.
And and your mind was like, how can I justify asking?
(41:42):
And I get that it comes from your family, you know, you know
what, what what value do you have to bring?
That's why Curtis used to alwaysshort himself.
What value do you? I mean, you're just going to get
fired? Oh yeah, and he left for. 10
years and that job for fucking. Hell, I know.
That's insane, right? And, and what did it do for him?
But The thing is, is that it's it's giving you the opportunity
(42:03):
to be able to do that. And we had such fucked up
examples growing up. And how to do that?
It's that relationship with the money.
There was a video Emily had sentme TikTok and it kind of talked
about a lot of our thoughts and perceptions aren't really ours.
They're just our parents. And it was like, oh, you know,
like the mom in the womb saying all these things and stresses
and all these things imprint on to that kid.
(42:24):
So you basically grow up with like your, your relationship
with money and you know, your dad's, hey, we don't show
emotions, we don't do this and all these things that it's just
this is what a man is. This is what a woman is that
they, and it's just subconsciously, unconsciously in
the back of our head creates these little ticks that create
us into who we are, which reallymight not be what we truly
(42:46):
believe, but it's what's just been so intertwined into us.
Like, Hey, your value is tied tothis.
Why? Why?
Why am I only valuable if I'm doing XYZ?
I think that comes down to the culture and the structure of the
culture, right? And then that that has a huge
difference on that and, and where people will say like,
well, I, you know, it's the culture.
(43:07):
You can't change that. Well, there's the reason why
there's subcultures and you can create that.
You know, it's like, you know, one of my proudest moments, man,
was like, you know how I love totell people, you know, thank you
for being here today. When I pay for something,
anything, no matter what I'm doing, they're providing a
service. It doesn't even know how small
it is. And then I heard my son do it
(43:28):
and Max did it like we were at, I told you at Leatherby's and
and he's eating this burger and he goes, this is the bet.
He's like way over the top, which is not like Max back in
the day. So he is really out there now
and and I've been coaching him and he he's just like, hey,
tells the waiter and he goes, who made the did you make it?
And he's like, no, I didn't. The cook did.
(43:50):
And he goes, this the best book.Can you tell him that?
He goes, do you want me to get him?
And my son goes, please. And the guy comes out and he
goes, did you make this burger? And he goes, yeah.
And he goes, I just want to tellyou, man, this is one of the
best burgers I've ever had because this is amazing burger.
Thank you for being here. And that kid who is the cook,
he'd lit up. And he's like, yeah, He's like,
thank you, man. The guy goes, The cook goes, I
(44:11):
got you. And I've noticed more the
reaction to other people whenever I say, hey, thank you
for being here. They.
They really like go. Oh yeah.
No problem. That's because you're most of
the interactions that they get are.
Where's this? Yep.
Or really frustrated and like, hey, you gave me shitty service.
(44:32):
I'm sorry that something happened that you weren't happy
with. Like, you know, but a lot of it
is really negative or short, nota service level interactions and
there's no real depth or even appreciation in it.
And so if someone comes and they're like, hey, I appreciate
you. It's like, holy shit.
Well, thank you like. Oh, dude, like when I've been on
food stamps before and you have to call in, you have to talk to
(44:56):
them and all that shit and you have to do like every six
months, you have to do a phone call interview and they just go
over everything of that. But when I used to start that, I
said, Hey, I really appreciate you being able to take this call
with me today. And the reason why I know that
because my dad did that, he, he was a Medicaid caseworker for
years. And every interaction my dad
would tell me was, oh, you did. This is super negative.
(45:19):
And he's just like he, he becameso callous that now he is the
grumpy old Mr. Wilson from Dennis and the Menace, like I
was telling you, because he's just grumpy all the time.
But it was because his environment slowly did that.
So I started thinking about it. Any person, no matter what, even
if they're calling you for bill collection, it is their fucking
(45:40):
job. They didn't, they don't hate
you. They're just trying to do the
job. So if you meet them going hey
man, I really appreciate you calling.
Look, here's the thing, I'm broke as fuck.
I can't pay you. So you can keep calling me.
But can we figure out something?Because I don't know what to do.
Can I cut your grass? Do you want me to mow your?
Do you want me to shave the chickens when we paint the
(46:01):
grass? What do you want me to do?
And if you started talking like that, they just go, they start
looking for ways to work with you.
It's like that guy you sent me with, right, Tony?
Like if, if he would have been able to tell go at that level
when interacting with the customer, like some of the
things that you saw, what do youthink would have happened?
(46:23):
I'll find a way to get you the money.
Yep, Such a better relationship,such a better understanding.
He might have been able to get areferral out of that because
money. Yeah.
And it's just, it's the relationship, it's the EQ that
comes with it of like, hey, I'm going to see the other human and
try and be understanding in thissituation and see that there
(46:44):
potentially just might be a sliver of a chance that there's
another perspective that is not mine.
Well, dude, and society's already showing the EQ is
desperately needed right now. And the way I can point that
out, how many mental health appsare out there now?
How many products are out there that talks about building mental
health from mushrooms to greens to everything has cannabis in it
(47:09):
now. And you're just like, what?
Yeah, it has cannabis. It's hemp.
It's hemp, it's hemp. But it's just like you can see
this cultural shift because it'slike what we were talking about
earlier, when when your body doesn't have something and when
it feels good when you use it, you know, you're on the right
path. And then you go fuck it up and
(47:30):
put some, like, greasy pizza in you.
Yeah. And you're like, I don't feel OK
after I ate that. I feel my my gut.
Yeah. Yours like OK, so you start
paying attention to it, but I think that's where even in our
interactions with ourselves, it's the exact same way.
It's that we put the greasy pizza on us until the good shit.
(47:50):
So the good shit like you were talking about, like, you know,
for you, if my day is planned out, then I'm going to feel way
more accomplished. And you won't you'll if you make
up an excuse to be able to go onthere, then I would just write
into the calendar going changed it and then put in parentheses
made excuse not to complete. And I go and at the end of the
(48:11):
week going, why didn't I do that?
Yeah, what am I doing? But that's really introspective.
And that's hard to do. But that's what I've loved about
12 shapes. It's just made me very
introspective. It helped me build my system
that I have now. But it is it's for me and and
for me to better understand other people, but to just stop
beating the fuck out of myself. Yeah, even though like, we're in
(48:35):
shit, I don't hate myself. Good.
You shouldn't, and you shouldn'teither.
Pay attention to the shoe, all right?
Anyway, so next week, TuneIn, wegot a Tuesday episode.
Could be a strain review, could be a learning episode.
And catch you guys on Thursday as well.
All right, see you then.
