Have you ever wondered if you're your own harshest critic or if you're blissfully oblivious like the rest of us? Join Brad and Dylan as they embark on a hilarious yet deeply introspective journey through the frosty landscapes of self-preservation and self-deception. With a blend of candid humor and genuine reflection, they tackle the intriguing concept of being "Meditatively Unaware," questioning whether it's preferable to remain politely detached from our truths. As we navigate this metaphorical tundra, you'll hear quotes and anecdotes that spark both laughter and contemplation on personal success and resilience.
In this episode, we reflect on the human condition and the surprising endurance that accompanies it. Whether it's enduring chronic pain or surviving the daily grind, we take a raw, honest look at how people reconcile ongoing struggles. Brad and Dylan share their own experiences with physical and emotional challenges, pondering if most of us are merely trudging through a mediocre existence. Is it possible that 90% of us are oblivious, while a vocal 10% are our own toughest critics? This conversation promises to be both entertaining and soul-searching, challenging you to engage more authentically with your inner world.

Brad (00:00):
on a desolate frozen tundra surrounded by mindless
brain-numbing cold takes.
Two bros trek through thenothingness to bring hope to a
new generation.
You are about to experiencebrad and dylan's hot takes.
Here we go again again.
Dylan (00:19):
hey, brad, but remember the time we had a conversation
about how we lie to ourselves?
Nope, what do you lie toyourself about most?
Brad (00:27):
I don't remember that conversation.
Dylan (00:29):
I feel like it only happened a few minutes ago, and
when I say a few minutes, I meanlike two or three days ago.
Why do you like this?
I like the idea that we lie toourselves for self-preservation.
It's a fascinating topic for me.
I lie to myself all the time,self-preservation.
Brad (00:47):
Yeah.
Dylan (00:50):
Or self-fulfillment.
Brad (00:53):
I don't know if I lie to myself as much as I avoid myself
.
What's the difference?
I don't know.
I think lying to yourself wouldbe saying I'm fine and avoiding
myself would be be saying I'mfine and avoiding myself would
be saying I'm not fine, but I'mnot going to look at that right
now.
I'm going to look over here.
Dylan (01:13):
That's a really blurry line.
Do people actually distinguishthat line or?
I don't know I do.
Brad (01:22):
Maybe, maybe.
I don't like the term line.
Dylan (01:25):
Cordially uninvolved.
I don, maybe, maybe I don'tlike the term lying Cordially
uninvolved, I don't know.
Brad (01:30):
What would you rather say?
Meditatively unaware?
Dylan (01:34):
That's not bad.
I like that Meditativelyunaware Miltimig hats.
That could be our new merch.
Brad (01:41):
Meditatively unaware.
Dylan (01:42):
Meditatively unaware.
Okay, put it down Terriblyunoblivious.
Meditatively unaware.
Meditatively unaware.
Brad (01:48):
Okay, put it down.
Terribly unoblivious,meditatively unaware, I like it.
Yep, which, if we're talkingabout lying to myself, I was
reading you some quotes fromrandom scribblings.
Let's do it.
Do you want the funny?
Let's do the not funny onefirst.
Oh, there's a not funny one.
Well, it's funny to me.
Might not be funny to otherpeople.
Dylan (02:09):
There are no points for second place.
Brad (02:11):
Oh, I better start strong then.
Thank you, Top Gun.
Thinking about not havingkilled yourself for 30 years as
a success doesn't really feellike a success.
Rule number one you admire acharacter for trying more than
for their success.
Those were unrelated.
(02:33):
I can't remember where I gotthese from.
I was reading something andthey were just quotes and that
felt like it was funny.
Dylan (02:47):
after that, it is really funny though, because no, but
like the first one you said how,how many people resonate, and
not even necessarily to aself-harm level, but a.
I feel like I'm going throughlife and I've accepted the human
, the, the human body, the humancondition.
(03:08):
We were extremely resilient inthe fact that we accept so much,
and it's I've talked about.
I've talked to people that havehad back pain and I've had my
own physical pain for variousreasons, where you live with it
for a year, two years, threeyears, and then you finally go
and get it corrected and thenyou're like, how did I live that
(03:33):
long with that pain?
How did I?
You with Crohn's, your ownbattle?
Like, how did I live this longwith this?
Yeah, heroin, cocaine is a hellof a drug, um, but just saying
that I haven't done it for 30years doesn't seem like a
(03:53):
victory it kind of resonateswith a lot.
I mean, that's what I mean likehey, it's not supposed to just
be mediocre for that long, notsaying it's supposed to be
instantly gratifying for ever.
There should I.
There should absolutely be somedown times, there should be
some up times, but 30 years ofjust me, right?
Brad (04:16):
oh, you know, I don't know , but I followed that up with
that I'm, and a lot I think alot of us probably are that
we're our own biggest critic.
Dylan (04:31):
Do you think so?
Brad (04:32):
Or do you think?
Dylan (04:32):
that, like 90% of the world, is oblivious, and that
10% are the biggest critics andare the most noisy about it.
Brad (04:41):
No, to themselves or in general.
Dylan (04:44):
I think a lot of people have like no self-awareness.
There's that.
I mean, that's kind of thewhole topic of this podcast is
self-awareness.
Brad (04:51):
That definitely happens.
But I think, to the extent thatpeople do think about
themselves, they're doing itmore so than anyone else else is
typically, if that makes sense.
So more so than anyone elseelse is typically, if that makes
sense.
So so in that sense, if someonethinks I'm a piece of shit,
they have a long way to gobefore they're on my level.
(05:13):
It reminds me of that liar,liar scene.
I'm kicking my own ass royalblue that's what it feels like a
little bit, and is so you haveno idea where they you, where
you got these from what I know,I wrote those, I know, but these
(05:34):
, uh, no, there was another onelike how long?
Dylan (05:37):
how long ago was that in the journal of thought?
No, like a week or two.
Oh, I didn't know.
These are some of your no, no,bradley meandering, these are
just script not brad meandering,these bradley college
meandering, yeah, oh that, uh,we can talk about something else
(05:58):
yeah maybe no we, I think wetalked about uh, do we talk
about the the bad, the badvisions after surgery?
Brad (06:13):
a little bit on here, yeah , where I was seeing very
graphic, graphic faces yeah,post-surgery not really.
It was very, very strange okay.
And then I think it was britthat said it was probably the
drugs which yeah, that episodenever made it remember.
Oh, we cut those episodes yeah,no, they're here, we're, we're,
(06:35):
we're censured.
They're here somewhere censured.
Um, they should probably comeout.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, that was a good one.
People need to know the truth,okay, but having a rough week or
two over the last month,there's a thing called what is
(07:01):
it Like?
Passive suicidal thoughts?
So it's just this, like thisinternal dialogue yeah.
That's how the earth turns, god, the worst.
You can't slide one by me.
No, we're not.
We're talking about Corioliseffect.
Dylan (07:18):
I'm really sad to see.
Brad (07:20):
I was really sad.
But so it's just this internalmonologue that you have right.
So there there's no, versus anactive where people are sending
goodbye notes and selling shitand all that kind of stuff.
So I read something there.
So it's like this passive idea,but the sense that after so,
(07:46):
after surgery, I have a part ofme that feels like a sense of
rebirth, like I get to do thisall over again.
And then there's this otherlittle part of me that's like
you could just die.
That was the way out, that wasit that you're asleep.
Look at, that's it.
Dylan (08:04):
And then poop, purple fall night night do you feel
like you would have missedanything?
But yeah, I would miss thisright now, no, okay, this, this
sucks.
Brad (08:16):
But do you?
Dylan (08:17):
feel would you have?
Brad (08:18):
would you have overwhelming regret for and
would I or would it just restartall over again?
Dylan (08:27):
and we're not gonna get into that.
Come on, no, we're gonna startwith.
I want to do it.
We're gonna start with wouldyou if you could look back at it
?
But and you can have nothoughts of I could have
controlled things differently.
It was purely retrospective,with zero ability to change that
(08:48):
.
You don't have that feeling inyour gut that says I could have
changed this.
I could have done that if youhave looked back at your life,
would you have been happy?
But at that point in time, whenyou're just like pro fall and
I'm out, but you, you have totake out the fact of I would
have changed this.
It's all purely things I couldhave done in the future, not
(09:09):
retroactive.
Are you happy with the eventsthat have led up to that moment?
I don't understand the question.
Brad (09:16):
Okay, would I have wanted to do more?
Dylan (09:21):
Yeah, you can't go back and go, oh, I wish I would have
done this.
Brad (09:24):
That's why these are passive okay, just that's it
right.
Dylan (09:30):
Fine, does that make sense for the office?
Brad (09:32):
I mean for the audience that I've said before like that.
And well, actually eminem saidit, you only lose yourself, you
only get one shot spaghettispaghetti, spaghetti and that's
it to me anyways.
(09:53):
So shots not done yet kobe saidit, kobe's are you happy.
Job's not done, job's not done,job's not done when will the
job be done?
Dylan (10:04):
and I'm not saying Job's not done, job's not done.
When will the job be done?
And I'm not saying your life'sover, but what quantifies a
happy life?
Brad (10:09):
Job's not done.
Dylan (10:13):
You can play your cards close to your chest.
That's fine.
Brad (10:16):
Yeah.
Dylan (10:16):
Not a quitter, that's heavy, wasn't it?
Brad (10:20):
It's not that it's heavy.
Dylan (10:21):
I mean it is.
But how do you?
How many people actually thinkon that?
What is?
And nobody wants?
I'm not saying anyone is readyto die or wants to die.
That's it's the into theunknown.
Um, you know whether youbelieve in a higher power or not
.
Either way, that's, it's a,it's uncharted territory.
(10:45):
That's it's.
It's scary.
But at what point do you sitdown with yourself and say, when
I've accomplished x, I'm okay,and not that I'm not afraid of
the future.
I'm still timid, I'm stillapprehensive, but I'm okay with
what I've done in this life?
But also, how?
How do you?
(11:05):
How do you go into the?
What motivates you if you'renot accomplishing those things,
and how do you come to peacewith that at the end of your
life?
That's, that's what I'm tryingto wrangle my head around of.
How do you?
There are only so many thingsthat are in your control.
You can do the best you can doin so many situations.
(11:27):
But if you have wildaspirations of I want to be the
next great movie star, I want tobe the next great pop star, I
want to be you know some ofthose unattainable things where
it's like you can absolutelywork as hard as you can at some
of that, but some of it's luck,some of it is you are destined
for it.
You know there's.
How do you take the items thatare chance and how do you still
(11:52):
be okay with what you did inlife?
Brad (11:55):
I don't there's god, I gotta find it now because I'm
sorry I wrote about that tooit's.
I got to find it now because Ijust I wrote about that too it's
.
Dylan (12:06):
this idea of pain Is it the idea of chasing excellence
versus obtaining excellence.
Brad (12:17):
So people tend to ask what , what do you want out of life,
what do you want to be, what doyou want to have, what do you
want to do?
What do you want out of life?
What do you want to be, what doyou want to have, what do you
want to do?
And somebody said what pain doyou want in your life?
What pain are you willing to gothrough and accept so that you
(12:38):
can have the life you want?
Dylan (12:39):
I will bite an apple.
Brad (12:40):
right now, you bite an apple, that's okay, her name's
Eve, oh, eve, oh yeah, she didit.
Go go get it, go get it, girl.
But when you, when you put itlike that, uh, I think it kind
of takes on a differentperspective.
So, like, what do you want?
Dylan (13:01):
I want to be happy.
Brad (13:02):
Okay, what the fuck does that look like?
What do you have to do to behappy?
Dylan (13:05):
What makes you happy.
Brad (13:06):
That's too broad.
What is it?
Is it a relationship?
Okay, are you willing to gothrough the pain of
miscommunication and fights andthe emotional stuff and highs
and lows and all of those thingsLike it's not?
Anything that is worth it, thatmakes you happy is not going to
be pain-free.
No, and to the higher levelthat you want it, more pain will
(13:31):
be involved, absolutely in someway, shape or form, and so, in
a sense, when you're settinggoals that you, that are
realistic, that you really wantto have you're, you're accepting
the type of pain that you wantin your life.
Dylan (13:48):
That's a really good way to put it.
I don't think enough people.
So we start with.
We start with the end goal,which is I want X.
Yeah, and that can be obtuse,it can be not, you know, vague,
it doesn't need to be but towhat you're saying is so many
(14:10):
people just leave it at I wantthis or X.
But reverse, engineer itbackwards now and go what is it
going to take to get there?
And am I okay with sleeplessnights going to take to get
there?
And I'm, am I okay withsleepless nights?
Am I okay with, am I okay with,you know, being uncertain about
my partner for a few days whilewe're trying to figure out if
(14:34):
we're on the same page when itcomes to how we want to continue
this relationship?
It it's not rainbows andbutterflies.
Brad (14:41):
No, and one example from what you've talked about before
was when your parents werewilling to displease themselves
in order to hold down apunishment.
Yeah, over you.
Yeah, that's.
That's something where, okay,it do.
I think this is being a goodparent, and if I think that it
(15:02):
is, does it suck for me to doyes?
Is it worth the end goal?
Dylan (15:07):
Yes.
Brad (15:08):
I think so.
So it's doing those kinds ofthings where it's not just the
good stuff.
So I I thought about it as, um,there's pain in becoming
something new.
How bad do you want the newversus how bad do you hate the
old?
Like, you want the new becauseit's new.
(15:29):
Do you want the new becauseit's it's not old, it's
different?
Like, do you really dislikewhere you're at or who you're
with or what you're doing andwho you're becoming enough?
Dylan (15:44):
to change and there's a reason that the statement the
devil you know is so popular.
Brad (15:49):
Yeah.
Dylan (15:50):
Words.
Are you comfy?
You're not comfy.
And how much?
How much do you hate comfy fora lack of exploration?
Brad (16:00):
Yeah, do you make excuses.
Do you make improvements?
Are you proud of yourself?
Oh, stop.
Yeah, do you make excuses?
Do you make improvements?
Are you proud of?
Dylan (16:05):
yourself.
Brad (16:09):
Oh hard, stop.
This session is over.
What do you say, rambo?
Nothing is over Nothing.
You have exploding arrows.
Not yet, not yet.
No, I'm still on m60.
Uh, this was the one of thequotes.
To go back to the pain thing,um, what we get out of life is
(16:33):
not determined by the goodfeelings we desire, but by what
bad feelings we're willing andable to sustain to get us to
those good feelings.
So if you think about it interms of levels, if you can't
withstand enough bad, you're notgoing to get the great highs.
You're going to end up in thatmediocre section.
(16:55):
Your lows are not so low andyour highs are not very high.
The difference between the twoare not going to be dramatic.
Dylan (17:03):
How do you?
And so some people willmisconstrue that, for I
absolutely know the person I'mwith right now is not the right
person and we do have someknockdown drag out fights and we
have a terrible relationship.
But maybe, if we keep goingthrough this, that's really hard
, so it's going to get better,Okay, and it's because it's
(17:26):
easier, but then that's whereyou got to have to.
People need to learn thedifferent shit, it's like.
But then that's where you haveto.
People need to learn thedifferent, it's like well, this
is easier for me to stick aroundversus I need to make a
conscious decision to grow.
Brad (17:38):
Yeah, I think back to what you said before about uh, what
is it?
The devil, you know?
I think that's what it is.
I it's not easier.
I don't think it is easier tostay in those bad situations.
It's just maybe Unfamiliarity.
I think it's less uncomfortablein the short term.
(18:01):
So going through a big breakupafter a long relationship and
something that you know is notworking, your whole is going to
be system gets rocked.
Yeah, it's going to be verypainful because your whole
system has been defined by apartner in in that short period
of time, yeah, and so there'sgoing to be a massive change and
(18:22):
a lot of pain that goes withthat.
But on the flip side of thatthere's there's a very high
upside potential mm-hmm versusit.
I already know the pain thatI'm in in this relationship and
by not changing it, that doesn'tchange.
Dylan (18:38):
I can, there's no, I already know how to.
Brad (18:40):
Yeah, there's no dynamic movement, but there's also the
potential.
Upside is also much slimmer,because, especially if it's been
a long-term thing, you you kindof know where you're at.
So that would have to be somepretty dynamic movement,
probably on both parts to to seea massive change, if that's
(19:03):
what was needed.
So so I think it is a littlebit the like I can look at it
from, like my surgery point ofview.
I went, it was, it was justlike this constant pain of yeah,
I can, I can kind of deal withthis, and then every once in a
while it gets really bad.
But thinking about being cutopen and going through like a
(19:27):
two month recovery versus athree day recovery and potential
for an ileostomy.
Yeah, I mean some otherdownsides and not knowing what
the upside could be could begreat, but it could also be the
exact same.
But it could also be the exactsame.
It could also be the exact sameplus a bag plus who?
(19:49):
Knows.
So there is definitely a fearof of the unknown and yeah
sometimes you gotta fucking jumpand you know, let the lady have
her scalpel.
Dylan (20:03):
I think it was Indiana Jones going after the uh, the
cup, the oh, when he had to takethe blind, the blind stuff on
the bridge.
Oh, oh, when he had to take theblind, the blind stuff on the
bridge.
Brad (20:14):
Oh, yeah, that one.
Dylan (20:16):
Raiders of the Lost Ark right.
Brad (20:19):
No, yeah, no, that was Indiana Jones.
And the Last Crusade Yep, okay,raiders was the Ark of the
Covenant, the Holy Grail.
Dylan (20:30):
No, oh, he's going for the Ark.
Yes, you're right.
Brad (20:33):
Sorry the arc had some very strange power that turned
everybody to skeletons.
I believe, I'm pretty sure likethey opened it and everybody
just fried and turned toskeletons.
Dylan (20:45):
The last crusade was not the chalice, I'm pretty sure the
last crusade was chalice.
Brad (20:51):
I'm pretty sure the Last Crusade was Chalice, was it?
Yep, trust me, it's one of thebest ones.
But yeah, you got to take theleap.
I guess Fuck it was.
And following up that badfeelings, to get good at dealing
with negative experiences is toget good at dealing with life.
Dylan (21:11):
That's it.
Full, full, full sentence.
Yeah, okay, yeah, it's just,it's not easy.
Brad (21:19):
Remember, remember what life is like a penis it's hard,
but it can't stay hard.
How old is your?
Dylan (21:24):
son.
I love that your son was makingdick jokes.
Brad (21:30):
It probably wasn't even him.
I'm sure it was somebody elsethat wrote it.
Dylan (21:34):
I don't even know what a penis is, and undoubtedly yes,
dad, yes Dad.
Brad (21:39):
It was not original, I'm sure.
I'm sure it was not an originalquote.
Yeah, try writing down yourthoughts every once in a while
instead of copying.
Dylan (21:54):
How do you feel about copyright?
Like, I don't know.
I hate you, I know it's.
Do you have any other words ofwisdom on that notepad over
yours over there?
Brad (22:03):
yeah, I do.
I was talking to the soccerkids last night about it and to
along with this.
To get good at dealing withnegative experiences is to get
good at dealing with life, andso we were talking about pain
and you know what they want,what they want to improve at,
what they want in life, blah,blah, all this kind of stuff and
what does it?
Dylan (22:21):
what does a 12 year?
Brad (22:22):
old.
Uh, they want a hot wife.
Turns out really yeah.
And and then what do theydefine by hot?
I have no idea.
Dylan (22:32):
I you might want qualitative no, I don't I don't
really okay.
No, I don't think I want to gointo that.
I think for podcast day steak.
We need you to supply a writtentest and, hey boys, if you get
outside the circle it will notcount.
Brad (22:49):
So make sure that you fill that in correctly.
I don't know.
Dylan (22:55):
And it must be a number two lead.
Oh, it wouldn't be a podcast ifthe door wasn't an opening and
closing.
Brad (23:01):
He just made me keep doing this until you came home.
I'm curious.
But the kid was like, oh well,see, you have to be a
millionaire if you want to havea hot wife.
Oh my god.
And I was like I don't are theyjust watching tick?
Dylan (23:18):
is this, is this coming from tiktok?
Where's this coming from?
Brad (23:20):
it's gotta be social media .
It's gotta be social media.
And I was like no that's nottrue at all.
Dylan (23:25):
Yeah, otherwise you gotta have mad riz this is what this
is mad riz, mad riz.
What is mad riz beyond?
Brad (23:33):
money mad skibity ohio toilet riz.
Dylan (23:36):
Nobody has riz, I don't know what the fuck they're
saying these days I have to askpeople all the time.
Brad (23:42):
That's, and I and I feel like I'm reasonably with it okay
, sure, I'm connected to theyouth, I guess, okay.
And so I I told him absolutelythat was false and that, uh, if
I, if I talk to a thousand girls, oh right, I'm like, do you
(24:06):
think that by the time I talkedto the thousandth one, that I
would be significantly better attalking?
Because that was the thing.
I was like, yeah, but what ifyou don't have any money and
you're really bad at talking togirls?
I was like, well then, fucking,talk to more girls, talk to
more girls.
Yeah, this is a numbers game.
So I said I'm going to bebetter at it at a thousand than
(24:26):
I was at one Criss Angel Mind,better at it at a thousand than
I was at one chris angel mind.
Freak.
There you go.
That's was that?
What was that one show wherethey had the pimp guy on.
Dylan (24:35):
Yeah, he looked like chris angel but he was yes.
Brad (24:38):
What was that show?
Artist?
The pickup that was scary.
I know that guy's probably inprison.
Dylan (24:49):
He had a top hat.
He had gloves with his knucklescut off and he would walk into
the club and act like he was thecoolest guy and you're like, no
, no one in this club would evergo home with you.
I don't understand, no.
Brad (25:01):
No, exactly what city were they in?
Probably Cleveland.
No, couldn't have been theMidwest.
Dylan (25:11):
Do we really get Cleveland's?
Brad (25:12):
not the.
Dylan (25:13):
Midwest no no.
Brad (25:16):
I think it is.
No, it's not Appalachia.
They're one of those areas,that's like nobody claims them.
Dylan (25:24):
Midwest doesn't claim them, the East doesn't claim
them.
Rust Belt we don't claim themeither.
Brad (25:30):
No, I don't claim them either.
No, I don't know what thatwould be.
Ohio has got its own realproblems right now.
Yeah Right, isn't that like ameme?
Isn't Ohio a meme basically?
Dylan (25:43):
Why wouldn't it be?
Look at that state it sucks.
Well, that's.
Brad (25:46):
Sorry to all our viewers.
That's the meme.
Yeah, supposedly sucks wellthat's sorry to all our viewers.
That's the meme.
Yeah, supposedly tom brokaw'sfrom ohio.
Yeah, look at him liar.
Dylan (25:55):
No, that was um.
Brad (25:57):
That was his successor no, well, you know who brian adams
not summer of night, oh 1970,brian summer of 70, brian, I was
in a helicopter getting shotdown, but actually wasn't.
But actually wasn't.
Um, it was just a story.
I heard why that I made it.
(26:19):
How?
Dylan (26:20):
again.
So this is even before, and I'mnot going to get into this
conversation because it's I,it's so subjective and I don't
give a fuck anymore.
Before.
Quote unquote woke media.
How do you succeed Tom Brokaw,become the NBC news anchor
(26:43):
before the country gets asdivided as it does?
And then you proceed to have afake testimony of being in a
helicopter where your neighborgot shot down and you were lucky
to survive, and then everyonewith you was like uh, what are
you talking about?
(27:03):
You had the perfect career.
You didn't need any fake orstolen valor.
His ratings were fine.
He was still the number one inthe country.
Brad (27:17):
He was the nbc on air he did yeah, that was uh brian
cranston no, that's the drugdealer damn it brian media.
Do I have to google this?
Dylan (27:31):
yes, figure it out.
But his uh, when he left uh,msnbc, because they gave him a
job on msnbc.
Yeah, he was scathing towardsthe media, oh yeah it was.
Brad (27:47):
That was a pain he was willing to endure.
I don't know who knows for whatend.
Dylan (27:51):
Nobody's seen him since Brian Williams, so close.
I don't understand, though, butlike he was, he was actually
okay.
How many?
Brad (28:04):
like what?
What is this?
You know, catch me if you can.
Yeah, it's a little like that.
What can I get away with?
Dylan (28:15):
yeah, you're not wrong, uh, but I wonder, I wonder.
But you're in media.
The whole identity of media isthe questions around it.
Who's this?
Brad (28:32):
effect.
What effect does it have?
Dylan (28:33):
on the population.
Can it be verified?
Like all those like, have youheard of tucker carlson?
Well, he likes his zins and helikes russian white bread okay,
so actually we should start abrand called russian white bread
.
Brad (28:42):
I just saw and sell it for 79 cents I just saw a thing
that is called white zinfandel.
Are they zen?
You put two zins into a whitemonster and let it steep, and
then that's awesome, have at it.
I'm in.
Dylan (29:02):
I've never had it in my life, I haven't either I'm not
sure if that would be good forus.
Brad (29:08):
Probably not.
Maybe Possibly, I don't know.
Dylan (29:14):
Who's worse, tucker Carlson or Brett Baer?
I'm Brett Baer.
That was a good, that was a bad, I forgot about him.
Brad (29:25):
That was old school Fox, right?
No?
Dylan (29:27):
Brett Baer's still the younger guy.
Brad (29:29):
Is it?
Pull a picture of him.
I got to see it.
Who am I thinking of?
I'm thinking of somebody early2000s who came on before.
What the fuck is that guy'sname?
I don't even remember.
I don't like this job anymore.
(29:50):
I know, here you go, look athow much Botox he's had.
None, none, I shouldn't make funof that Significant.
If a bulldog was a person, thatmight be Pretty close, possibly
(30:11):
.
If a bulldog was a person, thatmight be, yeah, pretty close,
possibly fox.
Wow, who are you going after?
Which guy much older?
And these are all the worst.
You know what I love watchingin the mornings fox and friends.
You know what I love watchingin the mornings Fox and friends.
It's just us hanging out.
(30:32):
It's so bad.
Dylan (30:35):
It's just.
I'm sorry, but all news isterrible.
It's really hard anymore.
Brad (30:40):
It's not good.
Dylan (30:43):
It's a lot of not good stuff.
Brad (30:45):
It's not really news either.
Dylan (30:48):
It's not news.
Brad (30:51):
It's as much news as this is.
Dylan (30:54):
So this is the dichotomy, this is the paradox of what
we've talked about on this showEveryone's responsible for their
own knowledge.
Have we talked about that?
Sure, no, I don't want you toplacate to me, I want you to
talk to me straight, real fast.
Brad (31:13):
As in like, ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
Dylan (31:16):
Yeah.
Brad (31:16):
Okay.
Dylan (31:18):
So everyone is supposed to think critically?
Brad (31:22):
It's a big ask, yeah okay, I'm not saying it's not a big
ask All right, all right.
Dylan (31:36):
we, whether you believe it or not, news was probably at
one point in time pretty.
Brad (31:38):
not by it I mean not, not saying, just pretty it was
report, it was just reported, itwas just report.
Now, what in?
What was given to people toreport.
You could judge that howeveryou wanted to.
Dylan (31:53):
Whoever was in control of that information?
Up until a point in time, itwas zero opinion facts.
And to your point, what was orwasn't?
There's some discrepanciesthere.
Yes, there's some discrepanciesthere.
(32:17):
Yes, now we have reportingopinions with some fact yeah,
some omitted fact.
And now we're asking people tobe educated, and they don't get
it from a easy source, which theunited or the general populace
is not good about easy andconvenient.
If it's not easy and convenient, we're not going to do it.
So now I've got to go to theinternet, which is super
trustworthy, and try to figureout what the fuck is actually
(32:39):
going on.
So are we setting our?
I mean, are we too critical ofthe people or should we be more
critical of the system?
Um?
Brad (32:49):
No, I think you've got to be critical of the ideas
honestly.
Dylan (32:57):
The perpetration of the ideas.
To me it's the system and I'mnot anti.
Brad (33:05):
It's hard for me because I but I could go to TikTok and
say this is disseminating amassive amount of false
information.
Dylan (33:14):
You could say that, though, because you have a much
higher IQ than the person nextto you.
Yes, but it's which?
That is and IQ.
By all intent, you can't changeyour IQ.
Very little you can do about it.
Either you're born smart oryou're not.
Brad (33:30):
However, so that is true.
There's a large amount ofmisinformation disseminated on
social media because of the livenature of things like tiktok.
It also provides a very clearreporting status of what is
happening in real time, so youcan get events yeah, what do
(33:56):
from?
They have fact checks?
No, but you, you can get, youcan see live.
So what I'm saying is likeyou're getting live reporting
without, without the bias frombystanders, like this is
happening right here.
Okay, right.
So there is.
There is another sense where,maybe in a country that would
not give out that actualinformation to news sources,
(34:20):
other people are able to reporton that or not report, but show
what's actually happening, right.
So you have the good and thebad, and so I think what is
required, I think what somepeople believe is that you have
to know everything.
Well, what's your thought onIsrael and Palestine?
(34:42):
Fuck all.
I mean, I feel like maybe Ishould have an opinion on this,
because everybody else seems tohave a fucking opinion on this,
and then they'll throw out acouple of talking points, and
then what am I supposed to know?
The whole fucking hundred yearhistory of this and exactly
(35:02):
everything that's happening,because that's a lot and I have
to go to work.
You can't keep up with all that.
Dylan (35:12):
No.
Brad (35:12):
So a lot of it is just putting these little sound bites
into into videos and be like oh, here you go, snack on that.
And then just having theability to say, I don't know, I
don't know.
I mean, I know that there'ssome.
They did some bad shit, theydid some bad shit.
(35:33):
There's still shit going on.
I don't know, I am not aconflict resolutionist.
Yeah, I mean, where's DennisRodman?
Dylan (35:45):
Doesn't he do shit?
Brad (35:46):
like this.
Dylan (35:48):
He was with Kim Jones.
Brad (35:49):
He was just like hey I play basketball.
Dylan (35:50):
You like basketball, let's do this.
I knew Michael Jordan.
Hey, I play basketball.
Brad (35:53):
You like basketball, let's do this.
I knew Michael Jordan, you gota bad haircut.
Let's go.
That's weird.
You're not wrong.
That's weird.
Dylan (36:00):
You're not wrong.
Brad (36:01):
So yeah, send.
Dylan (36:02):
Dennis to Israel.
We should make those t-shirtstoo.
Not only are we going to do,what did I say?
Brad (36:13):
Can we get rid of news channels?
Dylan (36:18):
I think the moment yeah, how do you do that?
That's the problem.
The moment you can somehowfigure out a systemic way to
make news and not be able tomake money, yeah, yeah.
Brad (36:30):
I mean it's got to make some money.
It's got to make money but itcould be non-profit, Like it
pays for itself.
Dylan (36:37):
Yeah, right, but that's NPR, yeah, yeah.
Brad (36:41):
So they're totally unbiased.
Mostly yeah.
Yeah.
If you really want a goodopinion, just go to some other
country's news about that's true.
Our country.
Yeah, yeah, a good opinion.
Just go to some other countries.
News about, it's true, ourcountry.
No, it's not bad, it's usually.
It's usually different.
I, I personally love northkorea and china I don't feel
(37:02):
like they're putting northkorea's putting out a lot of
what?
Dylan (37:06):
what are their news channels like?
Brad (37:08):
they, they have to be a rerun.
Just how amazing.
Dylan (37:14):
You think they just like UPS, like VHS tapes to every?
Brad (37:17):
house.
Dylan (37:18):
No, I think it's probably like yeah, just play this for
the next three nights.
Wait, wait, wait.
On Monday you stop at one oheight, and then on Tuesday you
start at one oh 8.5.
Welcome to Tuesday and welcometo Tuesday.
Brad (37:35):
I know this might seem pre-recorded, but it's not.
Dylan (37:36):
It's definitely live.
Brad (37:37):
Thank you, almighty leader .
Then you get to Wednesday.
You're like I don't know aboutthis.
It feels like 1984.
That's what it would feel likethe book.
Yeah, just constant propaganda,kind of like that apple
commercial.
Dylan (37:58):
What apple commercial?
Apple commercial did uh georgeorwell?
Really oh my god, they threwthe sledgehammer through the
screen.
This was back when 2000?
No, 1984.
Post-1984.
Post-84.
1984.
Brad (38:18):
Apple Macintosh.
Dylan (38:22):
Yep, it was a Macintosh commercial.
You ever seen this one?
Brad (38:27):
This was from one year ago 1984.
, oh, was it a Super Bowl ad.
Let's celebrate the firstglorious anniversary of the
information purificationpractice, 1984.
Oh, was it a Super Bowl ad.
Ugh Wait who's this?
Dylan (38:41):
This is Apple commercial.
Brad (38:42):
I know who's the girl running with the sledgehammer?
Don't know.
Dylan (38:45):
Are you sure?
Brad (38:48):
It's not Blade Runner.
Oh, why is she running likethat Very Baywatch?
What's going to happen?
She's running.
Why is she wearing a Hootersoutfit?
Don't know.
Dylan (39:06):
Weird Apple's probably going to sue her ass, whoa.
Brad (39:10):
Whoa, whoa, she's hammer throwing what?
No, that's not.
On january 24th, apple computerwill introduce macintosh and
you'll see why 1984 won't belike 1984.
Wait what?
This was actually in the 80s.
Dylan (39:32):
Yeah, what, yeah, how have you never seen that?
Brad (39:37):
I thought they were just doing a throwback.
Wait, Did Hooters steal heroutfit?
Quite possibly, when wasHooters started?
So this was what was that?
Dylan (39:52):
1983?
.
Brad (39:57):
I don't know.
Obviously, obviously it wasright before 84, right, maybe?
No, nobody wants to orderhooters online start oh, yeah,
because you know, here you gowhoa 83, 40 years old, shut up.
Dylan (40:20):
Uh what?
Hey man?
What happened?
Conspiracy theory, brad?
Brad (40:24):
oh my god how did I fall into that turn on man?
So october 4th 1983.
We're going to have to find outthe exact date of that
commercial.
Dylan (40:40):
Because either they stole that or they were in cahoots.
See what you did there.
Brad (40:46):
Mm-hmm.
Oh, funny story.
The older soccer team at ourlast tournament said that if
they won they wanted to go toHooters.
Why?
And I was like, why do you wantto be punished?
Let's make something good.
Dylan (41:01):
I mean, maybe we could go to Grand City, I don't know.
Brad (41:04):
And they're like well, just for lunch.
And I was like no, no, no, no,no, no, you don't go during
lunch, you want coffee.
And they're like why not Like,listen, listen, listen listen,
listen you go.
Dylan (41:20):
Daddy was a pro, not during lunch, daddy was a pro.
Brad (41:23):
You go, you start at happy hour and you just ride the
storm out.
That's, that's what you do.
Dylan (41:30):
Are you an advocate for an 18 year old drinking age brad
?
Brad (41:39):
oh, be curious, not judgment I'm trying to be, I'm
trying to be, I maybe raise it.
Raise what at 25?
Dylan (41:59):
yeah, you can't rent a car, can't drink.
The only issue I have is um, Idon't, and I don't know how
valid they're valid the argumentis anymore.
But if you're allowed to getdrafted in the military, yeah,
you should what?
Brad (42:10):
you should be able to have a fucking cocktail.
But what are the stats on othercountries Like?
These stats have to exist.
So if you have a 16, 17, 18drinking age, it's not 16, it's
18.
Dylan (42:23):
Yeah, whatever.
Brad (42:23):
Okay, it probably was like 14 at one point.
Dylan (42:26):
I mean, I think you can drink beer at 16 in the UK.
Brad (42:31):
So what do the bad side effects of that look like?
Dylan (42:35):
I mean, what does alcoholism look like?
Brad (42:38):
I absolutely what does binge drinking look like?
What does alcohol poisoninglook like?
The effects.
Dylan (42:43):
The effects show that you're as both male and female,
till the time you're about 21,23 depending on your maturity
age, and really 25 if you wantto take it to the extreme.
Your brain isn't fullydeveloped and then it does have
some adverse effects.
Brad (43:01):
Okay.
Dylan (43:02):
But I don't think adverse effects have been quantified.
I think it just says adverseeffects.
So is it a 1%, a 2%, a 5% a?
Brad (43:13):
10 a five percent.
I mean someone's blacking outfrom getting hit by baseball,
but that never stopped me.
So football all of it so how doyou?
Dylan (43:20):
how do you?
It's I don't know if thestudies exist where it compares
any of that brain developmentfunction across.
Brad (43:28):
Yeah, contact sports all there, there is a, there's an
idea, and I'm sure there'sprobably plenty of so of work
out here, done that.
If you take away somethingenticing like if you just show
okay, okay, this this is makesit worse.
Yeah, this isn't illegalanymore, this is just.
You can do this if you want to.
Dylan (43:47):
Even in the uk, though, they have uh, they have 21 and
older bars.
I'm pretty sure they even have25 and older bars Like fucking
adults.
You can buy alcohol, but youcan't come into this bar because
you're not 21.
And I'm pretty sure there'sstill 25-year-old bars over
there too.
You can't come into this barbecause you're not 25.
(44:10):
There's probably 85-year-oldbars over there.
That'd be sick.
I'm sure there are.
I was always thinking aboutthat.
There's a market in this townfor 30 and older bars.
Brad (44:19):
That's stupid, 30-year-olds are dumb.
Dylan (44:30):
That was funny, yeah, that was cute On the nose, if
you will third yeah, 30, andthat does.
Brad (44:38):
What does that?
Even look like.
Dylan (44:40):
This looks like a restaurant no, I think those are
the bars I go to.
I think you still get blackout.
Brad (44:46):
40 year old, 40 and over bars.
Are it's mexican restaurants?
Damn, anything about that.
Yeah, let's go.
So we do a bar with chorizo andchips.
You know you don't need to,they already exist.
You just go.
What do you want?
Dylan (45:08):
what happens if you didn't have a hot redhead to go
home to like would I go there bymyself?
Yeah, I go there by myself allthe time yeah, but are you going
there to pick up other chicks?
Brad (45:19):
no, exactly is that?
Is that what I'm supposed to doat a bar?
Dylan (45:22):
no, that's never what I've done at a bar.
We're talking about singleslike that was not explained.
Now it is okay so if you didn'thave a hot redhead to go home
to that likes to puke after mostmexican restaurant experiences.
Brad (45:37):
I I shannon I'm talking about you.
I mean, I still think that thisis the way to go.
I still think this is the wayto go.
I like it, yeah, I, I.
I don't think I can change mytune on this if it was between
that and some rookies I can tellyou went to bradley no hard
(46:01):
pass.
Yeah, no lumpies, grumpies,lumpies, lumpies.
Dylan (46:09):
That was the thing, yeah that was on the hilltop, right.
Yeah, yeah, lumpy's was on thehilltop, mm-hmm, no, okay, fair.
Brad (46:17):
I'm right there with you.
I don't, I don't, I would.
I feel like if it was Mexicanevery time you got shot down,
it's still a win.
Dylan (46:32):
What I can't pour queso on your breasts.
Okay, I'm just gonna eat it I'mgonna eat it.
Brad (46:37):
This margarita is still good like it's.
This place doesn't smell likebeer spilled all over the floor
for three months dude how manytimes you, how many times you?
Dylan (46:48):
just, you just walk into a bar and you're just like they
just stick.
Brad (46:52):
It's from all the schnapps , it's all the sugar.
Dylan (46:57):
These kids don't even know what Dr McGillicuddy's is
anymore.
Brad (47:00):
He's some mad dog.
Dylan (47:01):
Okay, so life lessons from this podcast for anyone out
there listening Don't drink.
Don't drink.
If you do, don't go pick upchicks at a Mexican restaurant.
A hundred percent Agave Right.
Brad (47:17):
Agave, that's what I said.
Agave, that's better.
Yeah, that's sweeter.
Be curious, not judgmental,unless you want to be.
Dylan (47:28):
Yeah, true, all right, it was fun while it lasted, was it
no?
Do you have some other partingthoughts that you want to talk
about?
Brad (47:39):
Hooters and Apple oh.
Dylan (47:41):
Hooters and Apple, that's right.
Brad (47:42):
Cahoots, cahoots.
Dylan (47:43):
Look it up, go watch the video.
Brad (47:45):
I actually don't hate that .
I like that conspiracy theory.
I don't know how it linkstogether yet, but I'm going to
find out.
Dylan (47:52):
Until next time, Brad and Dylan, Conspiracy Theories,
Apple and Hooters.
What's Hooters' tagline?
More Hooters.
Brad (48:02):
No, it's not.
Dylan (48:04):
How many licks does it?
Brad (48:05):
take to get to the center of a.
Dylan (48:07):
Tootsie Pop.
Our butts are orange and white,really.
No, it's the tank top.
Oh, all right, guys, toodlesare orange and white, really.
No, it's the tank top.
Oh all right guys, toodles,you're still here it's over go
home go.
on a desolate frozen tundra surrounded by mindless
brain-numbing cold takes.
Two bros trek through thenothingness to bring hope to a
new generation.
You are about to experiencebrad and dylan's hot takes.
Here we go again again.
Dylan (00:19):
hey, brad, but remember the time we had a conversation
about how we lie to ourselves?
Nope, what do you lie toyourself about most?
Brad (00:27):
I don't remember that conversation.
Dylan (00:29):
I feel like it only happened a few minutes ago, and
when I say a few minutes, I meanlike two or three days ago.
Why do you like this?
I like the idea that we lie toourselves for self-preservation.
It's a fascinating topic for me.
I lie to myself all the time,self-preservation.
Brad (00:47):
Yeah.
Dylan (00:50):
Or self-fulfillment.
Brad (00:53):
I don't know if I lie to myself as much as I avoid myself
.
What's the difference?
I don't know.
I think lying to yourself wouldbe saying I'm fine and avoiding
myself would be be saying I'mfine and avoiding myself would
be saying I'm not fine, but I'mnot going to look at that right
now.
I'm going to look over here.
Dylan (01:13):
That's a really blurry line.
Do people actually distinguishthat line or?
I don't know I do.
Brad (01:22):
Maybe, maybe.
I don't like the term line.
Dylan (01:25):
Cordially uninvolved.
I don, maybe, maybe I don'tlike the term lying Cordially
uninvolved, I don't know.
Brad (01:30):
What would you rather say?
Meditatively unaware?
Dylan (01:34):
That's not bad.
I like that Meditativelyunaware Miltimig hats.
That could be our new merch.
Brad (01:41):
Meditatively unaware.
Dylan (01:42):
Meditatively unaware.
Okay, put it down Terriblyunoblivious.
Meditatively unaware.
Meditatively unaware.
Brad (01:48):
Okay, put it down.
Terribly unoblivious,meditatively unaware, I like it.
Yep, which, if we're talkingabout lying to myself, I was
reading you some quotes fromrandom scribblings.
Let's do it.
Do you want the funny?
Let's do the not funny onefirst.
Oh, there's a not funny one.
Well, it's funny to me.
Might not be funny to otherpeople.
Dylan (02:09):
There are no points for second place.
Brad (02:11):
Oh, I better start strong then.
Thank you, Top Gun.
Thinking about not havingkilled yourself for 30 years as
a success doesn't really feellike a success.
Rule number one you admire acharacter for trying more than
for their success.
Those were unrelated.
(02:33):
I can't remember where I gotthese from.
I was reading something andthey were just quotes and that
felt like it was funny.
Dylan (02:47):
after that, it is really funny though, because no, but
like the first one you said how,how many people resonate, and
not even necessarily to aself-harm level, but a.
I feel like I'm going throughlife and I've accepted the human
, the, the human body, the humancondition.
(03:08):
We were extremely resilient inthe fact that we accept so much,
and it's I've talked about.
I've talked to people that havehad back pain and I've had my
own physical pain for variousreasons, where you live with it
for a year, two years, threeyears, and then you finally go
and get it corrected and thenyou're like, how did I live that
(03:33):
long with that pain?
How did I?
You with Crohn's, your ownbattle?
Like, how did I live this longwith this?
Yeah, heroin, cocaine is a hellof a drug, um, but just saying
that I haven't done it for 30years doesn't seem like a
(03:53):
victory it kind of resonateswith a lot.
I mean, that's what I mean likehey, it's not supposed to just
be mediocre for that long, notsaying it's supposed to be
instantly gratifying for ever.
There should I.
There should absolutely be somedown times, there should be
some up times, but 30 years ofjust me, right?
Brad (04:16):
oh, you know, I don't know , but I followed that up with
that I'm, and a lot I think alot of us probably are that
we're our own biggest critic.
Dylan (04:31):
Do you think so?
Brad (04:32):
Or do you think?
Dylan (04:32):
that, like 90% of the world, is oblivious, and that
10% are the biggest critics andare the most noisy about it.
Brad (04:41):
No, to themselves or in general.
Dylan (04:44):
I think a lot of people have like no self-awareness.
There's that.
I mean, that's kind of thewhole topic of this podcast is
self-awareness.
Brad (04:51):
That definitely happens.
But I think, to the extent thatpeople do think about
themselves, they're doing itmore so than anyone else else is
typically, if that makes sense.
So more so than anyone elseelse is typically, if that makes
sense.
So so in that sense, if someonethinks I'm a piece of shit,
they have a long way to gobefore they're on my level.
(05:13):
It reminds me of that liar,liar scene.
I'm kicking my own ass royalblue that's what it feels like a
little bit, and is so you haveno idea where they you, where
you got these from what I know,I wrote those, I know, but these
(05:34):
, uh, no, there was another onelike how long?
Dylan (05:37):
how long ago was that in the journal of thought?
No, like a week or two.
Oh, I didn't know.
These are some of your no, no,bradley meandering, these are
just script not brad meandering,these bradley college
meandering, yeah, oh that, uh,we can talk about something else
(05:58):
yeah maybe no we, I think wetalked about uh, do we talk
about the the bad, the badvisions after surgery?
Brad (06:13):
a little bit on here, yeah , where I was seeing very
graphic, graphic faces yeah,post-surgery not really.
It was very, very strange okay.
And then I think it was britthat said it was probably the
drugs which yeah, that episodenever made it remember.
Oh, we cut those episodes yeah,no, they're here, we're, we're,
(06:35):
we're censured.
They're here somewhere censured.
Um, they should probably comeout.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, that was a good one.
People need to know the truth,okay, but having a rough week or
two over the last month,there's a thing called what is
(07:01):
it Like?
Passive suicidal thoughts?
So it's just this, like thisinternal dialogue yeah.
That's how the earth turns, god, the worst.
You can't slide one by me.
No, we're not.
We're talking about Corioliseffect.
Dylan (07:18):
I'm really sad to see.
Brad (07:20):
I was really sad.
But so it's just this internalmonologue that you have right.
So there there's no, versus anactive where people are sending
goodbye notes and selling shitand all that kind of stuff.
So I read something there.
So it's like this passive idea,but the sense that after so,
(07:46):
after surgery, I have a part ofme that feels like a sense of
rebirth, like I get to do thisall over again.
And then there's this otherlittle part of me that's like
you could just die.
That was the way out, that wasit that you're asleep.
Look at, that's it.
Dylan (08:04):
And then poop, purple fall night night do you feel
like you would have missedanything?
But yeah, I would miss thisright now, no, okay, this, this
sucks.
Brad (08:16):
But do you?
Dylan (08:17):
feel would you have?
Brad (08:18):
would you have overwhelming regret for and
would I or would it just restartall over again?
Dylan (08:27):
and we're not gonna get into that.
Come on, no, we're gonna startwith.
I want to do it.
We're gonna start with wouldyou if you could look back at it
?
But and you can have nothoughts of I could have
controlled things differently.
It was purely retrospective,with zero ability to change that
(08:48):
.
You don't have that feeling inyour gut that says I could have
changed this.
I could have done that if youhave looked back at your life,
would you have been happy?
But at that point in time, whenyou're just like pro fall and
I'm out, but you, you have totake out the fact of I would
have changed this.
It's all purely things I couldhave done in the future, not
(09:09):
retroactive.
Are you happy with the eventsthat have led up to that moment?
I don't understand the question.
Brad (09:16):
Okay, would I have wanted to do more?
Dylan (09:21):
Yeah, you can't go back and go, oh, I wish I would have
done this.
Brad (09:24):
That's why these are passive okay, just that's it
right.
Dylan (09:30):
Fine, does that make sense for the office?
Brad (09:32):
I mean for the audience that I've said before like that.
And well, actually eminem saidit, you only lose yourself, you
only get one shot spaghettispaghetti, spaghetti and that's
it to me anyways.
(09:53):
So shots not done yet kobe saidit, kobe's are you happy.
Job's not done, job's not done,job's not done when will the
job be done?
Dylan (10:04):
and I'm not saying Job's not done, job's not done.
When will the job be done?
And I'm not saying your life'sover, but what quantifies a
happy life?
Brad (10:09):
Job's not done.
Dylan (10:13):
You can play your cards close to your chest.
That's fine.
Brad (10:16):
Yeah.
Dylan (10:16):
Not a quitter, that's heavy, wasn't it?
Brad (10:20):
It's not that it's heavy.
Dylan (10:21):
I mean it is.
But how do you?
How many people actually thinkon that?
What is?
And nobody wants?
I'm not saying anyone is readyto die or wants to die.
That's it's the into theunknown.
Um, you know whether youbelieve in a higher power or not
.
Either way, that's, it's a,it's uncharted territory.
(10:45):
That's it's.
It's scary.
But at what point do you sitdown with yourself and say, when
I've accomplished x, I'm okay,and not that I'm not afraid of
the future.
I'm still timid, I'm stillapprehensive, but I'm okay with
what I've done in this life?
But also, how?
How do you?
(11:05):
How do you go into the?
What motivates you if you'renot accomplishing those things,
and how do you come to peacewith that at the end of your
life?
That's, that's what I'm tryingto wrangle my head around of.
How do you?
There are only so many thingsthat are in your control.
You can do the best you can doin so many situations.
(11:27):
But if you have wildaspirations of I want to be the
next great movie star, I want tobe the next great pop star, I
want to be you know some ofthose unattainable things where
it's like you can absolutelywork as hard as you can at some
of that, but some of it's luck,some of it is you are destined
for it.
You know there's.
How do you take the items thatare chance and how do you still
(11:52):
be okay with what you did inlife?
Brad (11:55):
I don't there's god, I gotta find it now because I'm
sorry I wrote about that tooit's.
I got to find it now because Ijust I wrote about that too it's
.
Dylan (12:06):
this idea of pain Is it the idea of chasing excellence
versus obtaining excellence.
Brad (12:17):
So people tend to ask what , what do you want out of life,
what do you want to be, what doyou want to have, what do you
want to do?
What do you want out of life?
What do you want to be, what doyou want to have, what do you
want to do?
And somebody said what pain doyou want in your life?
What pain are you willing to gothrough and accept so that you
(12:38):
can have the life you want?
Dylan (12:39):
I will bite an apple.
Brad (12:40):
right now, you bite an apple, that's okay, her name's
Eve, oh, eve, oh yeah, she didit.
Go go get it, go get it, girl.
But when you, when you put itlike that, uh, I think it kind
of takes on a differentperspective.
So, like, what do you want?
Dylan (13:01):
I want to be happy.
Brad (13:02):
Okay, what the fuck does that look like?
What do you have to do to behappy?
Dylan (13:05):
What makes you happy.
Brad (13:06):
That's too broad.
What is it?
Is it a relationship?
Okay, are you willing to gothrough the pain of
miscommunication and fights andthe emotional stuff and highs
and lows and all of those thingsLike it's not?
Anything that is worth it, thatmakes you happy is not going to
be pain-free.
No, and to the higher levelthat you want it, more pain will
(13:31):
be involved, absolutely in someway, shape or form, and so, in
a sense, when you're settinggoals that you, that are
realistic, that you really wantto have you're, you're accepting
the type of pain that you wantin your life.
Dylan (13:48):
That's a really good way to put it.
I don't think enough people.
So we start with.
We start with the end goal,which is I want X.
Yeah, and that can be obtuse,it can be not, you know, vague,
it doesn't need to be but towhat you're saying is so many
(14:10):
people just leave it at I wantthis or X.
But reverse, engineer itbackwards now and go what is it
going to take to get there?
And am I okay with sleeplessnights going to take to get
there?
And I'm, am I okay withsleepless nights?
Am I okay with, am I okay with,you know, being uncertain about
my partner for a few days whilewe're trying to figure out if
(14:34):
we're on the same page when itcomes to how we want to continue
this relationship?
It it's not rainbows andbutterflies.
Brad (14:41):
No, and one example from what you've talked about before
was when your parents werewilling to displease themselves
in order to hold down apunishment.
Yeah, over you.
Yeah, that's.
That's something where, okay,it do.
I think this is being a goodparent, and if I think that it
(15:02):
is, does it suck for me to doyes?
Is it worth the end goal?
Dylan (15:07):
Yes.
Brad (15:08):
I think so.
So it's doing those kinds ofthings where it's not just the
good stuff.
So I I thought about it as, um,there's pain in becoming
something new.
How bad do you want the newversus how bad do you hate the
old?
Like, you want the new becauseit's new.
(15:29):
Do you want the new becauseit's it's not old, it's
different?
Like, do you really dislikewhere you're at or who you're
with or what you're doing andwho you're becoming enough?
Dylan (15:44):
to change and there's a reason that the statement the
devil you know is so popular.
Brad (15:49):
Yeah.
Dylan (15:50):
Words.
Are you comfy?
You're not comfy.
And how much?
How much do you hate comfy fora lack of exploration?
Brad (16:00):
Yeah, do you make excuses.
Do you make improvements?
Are you proud of yourself?
Oh, stop.
Yeah, do you make excuses?
Do you make improvements?
Are you proud of?
Dylan (16:05):
yourself.
Brad (16:09):
Oh hard, stop.
This session is over.
What do you say, rambo?
Nothing is over Nothing.
You have exploding arrows.
Not yet, not yet.
No, I'm still on m60.
Uh, this was the one of thequotes.
To go back to the pain thing,um, what we get out of life is
(16:33):
not determined by the goodfeelings we desire, but by what
bad feelings we're willing andable to sustain to get us to
those good feelings.
So if you think about it interms of levels, if you can't
withstand enough bad, you're notgoing to get the great highs.
You're going to end up in thatmediocre section.
(16:55):
Your lows are not so low andyour highs are not very high.
The difference between the twoare not going to be dramatic.
Dylan (17:03):
How do you?
And so some people willmisconstrue that, for I
absolutely know the person I'mwith right now is not the right
person and we do have someknockdown drag out fights and we
have a terrible relationship.
But maybe, if we keep goingthrough this, that's really hard
, so it's going to get better,Okay, and it's because it's
(17:26):
easier, but then that's whereyou got to have to.
People need to learn thedifferent shit, it's like.
But then that's where you haveto.
People need to learn thedifferent, it's like well, this
is easier for me to stick aroundversus I need to make a
conscious decision to grow.
Brad (17:38):
Yeah, I think back to what you said before about uh, what
is it?
The devil, you know?
I think that's what it is.
I it's not easier.
I don't think it is easier tostay in those bad situations.
It's just maybe Unfamiliarity.
I think it's less uncomfortablein the short term.
(18:01):
So going through a big breakupafter a long relationship and
something that you know is notworking, your whole is going to
be system gets rocked.
Yeah, it's going to be verypainful because your whole
system has been defined by apartner in in that short period
of time, yeah, and so there'sgoing to be a massive change and
(18:22):
a lot of pain that goes withthat.
But on the flip side of thatthere's there's a very high
upside potential mm-hmm versusit.
I already know the pain thatI'm in in this relationship and
by not changing it, that doesn'tchange.
Dylan (18:38):
I can, there's no, I already know how to.
Brad (18:40):
Yeah, there's no dynamic movement, but there's also the
potential.
Upside is also much slimmer,because, especially if it's been
a long-term thing, you you kindof know where you're at.
So that would have to be somepretty dynamic movement,
probably on both parts to to seea massive change, if that's
(19:03):
what was needed.
So so I think it is a littlebit the like I can look at it
from, like my surgery point ofview.
I went, it was, it was justlike this constant pain of yeah,
I can, I can kind of deal withthis, and then every once in a
while it gets really bad.
But thinking about being cutopen and going through like a
(19:27):
two month recovery versus athree day recovery and potential
for an ileostomy.
Yeah, I mean some otherdownsides and not knowing what
the upside could be could begreat, but it could also be the
exact same.
But it could also be the exactsame.
It could also be the exact sameplus a bag plus who?
(19:49):
Knows.
So there is definitely a fearof of the unknown and yeah
sometimes you gotta fucking jumpand you know, let the lady have
her scalpel.
Dylan (20:03):
I think it was Indiana Jones going after the uh, the
cup, the oh, when he had to takethe blind, the blind stuff on
the bridge.
Oh, oh, when he had to take theblind, the blind stuff on the
bridge.
Brad (20:14):
Oh, yeah, that one.
Dylan (20:16):
Raiders of the Lost Ark right.
Brad (20:19):
No, yeah, no, that was Indiana Jones.
And the Last Crusade Yep, okay,raiders was the Ark of the
Covenant, the Holy Grail.
Dylan (20:30):
No, oh, he's going for the Ark.
Yes, you're right.
Brad (20:33):
Sorry the arc had some very strange power that turned
everybody to skeletons.
I believe, I'm pretty sure likethey opened it and everybody
just fried and turned toskeletons.
Dylan (20:45):
The last crusade was not the chalice, I'm pretty sure the
last crusade was chalice.
Brad (20:51):
I'm pretty sure the Last Crusade was Chalice, was it?
Yep, trust me, it's one of thebest ones.
But yeah, you got to take theleap.
I guess Fuck it was.
And following up that badfeelings, to get good at dealing
with negative experiences is toget good at dealing with life.
Dylan (21:11):
That's it.
Full, full, full sentence.
Yeah, okay, yeah, it's just,it's not easy.
Brad (21:19):
Remember, remember what life is like a penis it's hard,
but it can't stay hard.
How old is your?
Dylan (21:24):
son.
I love that your son was makingdick jokes.
Brad (21:30):
It probably wasn't even him.
I'm sure it was somebody elsethat wrote it.
Dylan (21:34):
I don't even know what a penis is, and undoubtedly yes,
dad, yes Dad.
Brad (21:39):
It was not original, I'm sure.
I'm sure it was not an originalquote.
Yeah, try writing down yourthoughts every once in a while
instead of copying.
Dylan (21:54):
How do you feel about copyright?
Like, I don't know.
I hate you, I know it's.
Do you have any other words ofwisdom on that notepad over
yours over there?
Brad (22:03):
yeah, I do.
I was talking to the soccerkids last night about it and to
along with this.
To get good at dealing withnegative experiences is to get
good at dealing with life, andso we were talking about pain
and you know what they want,what they want to improve at,
what they want in life, blah,blah, all this kind of stuff and
what does it?
Dylan (22:21):
what does a 12 year?
Brad (22:22):
old.
Uh, they want a hot wife.
Turns out really yeah.
And and then what do theydefine by hot?
I have no idea.
Dylan (22:32):
I you might want qualitative no, I don't I don't
really okay.
No, I don't think I want to gointo that.
I think for podcast day steak.
We need you to supply a writtentest and, hey boys, if you get
outside the circle it will notcount.
Brad (22:49):
So make sure that you fill that in correctly.
I don't know.
Dylan (22:55):
And it must be a number two lead.
Oh, it wouldn't be a podcast ifthe door wasn't an opening and
closing.
Brad (23:01):
He just made me keep doing this until you came home.
I'm curious.
But the kid was like, oh well,see, you have to be a
millionaire if you want to havea hot wife.
Oh my god.
And I was like I don't are theyjust watching tick?
Dylan (23:18):
is this, is this coming from tiktok?
Where's this coming from?
Brad (23:20):
it's gotta be social media .
It's gotta be social media.
And I was like no that's nottrue at all.
Dylan (23:25):
Yeah, otherwise you gotta have mad riz this is what this
is mad riz, mad riz.
What is mad riz beyond?
Brad (23:33):
money mad skibity ohio toilet riz.
Dylan (23:36):
Nobody has riz, I don't know what the fuck they're
saying these days I have to askpeople all the time.
Brad (23:42):
That's, and I and I feel like I'm reasonably with it okay
, sure, I'm connected to theyouth, I guess, okay.
And so I I told him absolutelythat was false and that, uh, if
I, if I talk to a thousand girls, oh right, I'm like, do you
(24:06):
think that by the time I talkedto the thousandth one, that I
would be significantly better attalking?
Because that was the thing.
I was like, yeah, but what ifyou don't have any money and
you're really bad at talking togirls?
I was like, well then, fucking,talk to more girls, talk to
more girls.
Yeah, this is a numbers game.
So I said I'm going to bebetter at it at a thousand than
(24:26):
I was at one Criss Angel Mind,better at it at a thousand than
I was at one chris angel mind.
Freak.
There you go.
That's was that?
What was that one show wherethey had the pimp guy on.
Dylan (24:35):
Yeah, he looked like chris angel but he was yes.
Brad (24:38):
What was that show?
Artist?
The pickup that was scary.
I know that guy's probably inprison.
Dylan (24:49):
He had a top hat.
He had gloves with his knucklescut off and he would walk into
the club and act like he was thecoolest guy and you're like, no
, no one in this club would evergo home with you.
I don't understand, no.
Brad (25:01):
No, exactly what city were they in?
Probably Cleveland.
No, couldn't have been theMidwest.
Dylan (25:11):
Do we really get Cleveland's?
Brad (25:12):
not the.
Dylan (25:13):
Midwest no no.
Brad (25:16):
I think it is.
No, it's not Appalachia.
They're one of those areas,that's like nobody claims them.
Dylan (25:24):
Midwest doesn't claim them, the East doesn't claim
them.
Rust Belt we don't claim themeither.
Brad (25:30):
No, I don't claim them either.
No, I don't know what thatwould be.
Ohio has got its own realproblems right now.
Yeah Right, isn't that like ameme?
Isn't Ohio a meme basically?
Dylan (25:43):
Why wouldn't it be?
Look at that state it sucks.
Well, that's.
Brad (25:46):
Sorry to all our viewers.
That's the meme.
Yeah, supposedly sucks wellthat's sorry to all our viewers.
That's the meme.
Yeah, supposedly tom brokaw'sfrom ohio.
Yeah, look at him liar.
Dylan (25:55):
No, that was um.
Brad (25:57):
That was his successor no, well, you know who brian adams
not summer of night, oh 1970,brian summer of 70, brian, I was
in a helicopter getting shotdown, but actually wasn't.
But actually wasn't.
Um, it was just a story.
I heard why that I made it.
(26:19):
How?
Dylan (26:20):
again.
So this is even before, and I'mnot going to get into this
conversation because it's I,it's so subjective and I don't
give a fuck anymore.
Before.
Quote unquote woke media.
How do you succeed Tom Brokaw,become the NBC news anchor
(26:43):
before the country gets asdivided as it does?
And then you proceed to have afake testimony of being in a
helicopter where your neighborgot shot down and you were lucky
to survive, and then everyonewith you was like uh, what are
you talking about?
(27:03):
You had the perfect career.
You didn't need any fake orstolen valor.
His ratings were fine.
He was still the number one inthe country.
Brad (27:17):
He was the nbc on air he did yeah, that was uh brian
cranston no, that's the drugdealer damn it brian media.
Do I have to google this?
Dylan (27:31):
yes, figure it out.
But his uh, when he left uh,msnbc, because they gave him a
job on msnbc.
Yeah, he was scathing towardsthe media, oh yeah it was.
Brad (27:47):
That was a pain he was willing to endure.
I don't know who knows for whatend.
Dylan (27:51):
Nobody's seen him since Brian Williams, so close.
I don't understand, though, butlike he was, he was actually
okay.
How many?
Brad (28:04):
like what?
What is this?
You know, catch me if you can.
Yeah, it's a little like that.
What can I get away with?
Dylan (28:15):
yeah, you're not wrong, uh, but I wonder, I wonder.
But you're in media.
The whole identity of media isthe questions around it.
Who's this?
Brad (28:32):
effect.
What effect does it have?
Dylan (28:33):
on the population.
Can it be verified?
Like all those like, have youheard of tucker carlson?
Well, he likes his zins and helikes russian white bread okay,
so actually we should start abrand called russian white bread
.
Brad (28:42):
I just saw and sell it for 79 cents I just saw a thing
that is called white zinfandel.
Are they zen?
You put two zins into a whitemonster and let it steep, and
then that's awesome, have at it.
I'm in.
Dylan (29:02):
I've never had it in my life, I haven't either I'm not
sure if that would be good forus.
Brad (29:08):
Probably not.
Maybe Possibly, I don't know.
Dylan (29:14):
Who's worse, tucker Carlson or Brett Baer?
I'm Brett Baer.
That was a good, that was a bad, I forgot about him.
Brad (29:25):
That was old school Fox, right?
No?
Dylan (29:27):
Brett Baer's still the younger guy.
Brad (29:29):
Is it?
Pull a picture of him.
I got to see it.
Who am I thinking of?
I'm thinking of somebody early2000s who came on before.
What the fuck is that guy'sname?
I don't even remember.
I don't like this job anymore.
(29:50):
I know, here you go, look athow much Botox he's had.
None, none, I shouldn't make funof that Significant.
If a bulldog was a person, thatmight be Pretty close, possibly
(30:11):
.
If a bulldog was a person, thatmight be, yeah, pretty close,
possibly fox.
Wow, who are you going after?
Which guy much older?
And these are all the worst.
You know what I love watchingin the mornings fox and friends.
You know what I love watchingin the mornings Fox and friends.
It's just us hanging out.
(30:32):
It's so bad.
Dylan (30:35):
It's just.
I'm sorry, but all news isterrible.
It's really hard anymore.
Brad (30:40):
It's not good.
Dylan (30:43):
It's a lot of not good stuff.
Brad (30:45):
It's not really news either.
Dylan (30:48):
It's not news.
Brad (30:51):
It's as much news as this is.
Dylan (30:54):
So this is the dichotomy, this is the paradox of what
we've talked about on this showEveryone's responsible for their
own knowledge.
Have we talked about that?
Sure, no, I don't want you toplacate to me, I want you to
talk to me straight, real fast.
Brad (31:13):
As in like, ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
Dylan (31:16):
Yeah.
Brad (31:16):
Okay.
Dylan (31:18):
So everyone is supposed to think critically?
Brad (31:22):
It's a big ask, yeah okay, I'm not saying it's not a big
ask All right, all right.
Dylan (31:36):
we, whether you believe it or not, news was probably at
one point in time pretty.
Brad (31:38):
not by it I mean not, not saying, just pretty it was
report, it was just reported, itwas just report.
Now, what in?
What was given to people toreport.
You could judge that howeveryou wanted to.
Dylan (31:53):
Whoever was in control of that information?
Up until a point in time, itwas zero opinion facts.
And to your point, what was orwasn't?
There's some discrepanciesthere.
Yes, there's some discrepanciesthere.
(32:17):
Yes, now we have reportingopinions with some fact yeah,
some omitted fact.
And now we're asking people tobe educated, and they don't get
it from a easy source, which theunited or the general populace
is not good about easy andconvenient.
If it's not easy and convenient, we're not going to do it.
So now I've got to go to theinternet, which is super
trustworthy, and try to figureout what the fuck is actually
(32:39):
going on.
So are we setting our?
I mean, are we too critical ofthe people or should we be more
critical of the system?
Um?
Brad (32:49):
No, I think you've got to be critical of the ideas
honestly.
Dylan (32:57):
The perpetration of the ideas.
To me it's the system and I'mnot anti.
Brad (33:05):
It's hard for me because I but I could go to TikTok and
say this is disseminating amassive amount of false
information.
Dylan (33:14):
You could say that, though, because you have a much
higher IQ than the person nextto you.
Yes, but it's which?
That is and IQ.
By all intent, you can't changeyour IQ.
Very little you can do about it.
Either you're born smart oryou're not.
Brad (33:30):
However, so that is true.
There's a large amount ofmisinformation disseminated on
social media because of the livenature of things like tiktok.
It also provides a very clearreporting status of what is
happening in real time, so youcan get events yeah, what do
(33:56):
from?
They have fact checks?
No, but you, you can get, youcan see live.
So what I'm saying is likeyou're getting live reporting
without, without the bias frombystanders, like this is
happening right here.
Okay, right.
So there is.
There is another sense where,maybe in a country that would
not give out that actualinformation to news sources,
(34:20):
other people are able to reporton that or not report, but show
what's actually happening, right.
So you have the good and thebad, and so I think what is
required, I think what somepeople believe is that you have
to know everything.
Well, what's your thought onIsrael and Palestine?
(34:42):
Fuck all.
I mean, I feel like maybe Ishould have an opinion on this,
because everybody else seems tohave a fucking opinion on this,
and then they'll throw out acouple of talking points, and
then what am I supposed to know?
The whole fucking hundred yearhistory of this and exactly
(35:02):
everything that's happening,because that's a lot and I have
to go to work.
You can't keep up with all that.
Dylan (35:12):
No.
Brad (35:12):
So a lot of it is just putting these little sound bites
into into videos and be like oh, here you go, snack on that.
And then just having theability to say, I don't know, I
don't know.
I mean, I know that there'ssome.
They did some bad shit, theydid some bad shit.
(35:33):
There's still shit going on.
I don't know, I am not aconflict resolutionist.
Yeah, I mean, where's DennisRodman?
Dylan (35:45):
Doesn't he do shit?
Brad (35:46):
like this.
Dylan (35:48):
He was with Kim Jones.
Brad (35:49):
He was just like hey I play basketball.
Dylan (35:50):
You like basketball, let's do this.
I knew Michael Jordan.
Hey, I play basketball.
Brad (35:53):
You like basketball, let's do this.
I knew Michael Jordan, you gota bad haircut.
Let's go.
That's weird.
You're not wrong.
That's weird.
Dylan (36:00):
You're not wrong.
Brad (36:01):
So yeah, send.
Dylan (36:02):
Dennis to Israel.
We should make those t-shirtstoo.
Not only are we going to do,what did I say?
Brad (36:13):
Can we get rid of news channels?
Dylan (36:18):
I think the moment yeah, how do you do that?
That's the problem.
The moment you can somehowfigure out a systemic way to
make news and not be able tomake money, yeah, yeah.
Brad (36:30):
I mean it's got to make some money.
It's got to make money but itcould be non-profit, Like it
pays for itself.
Dylan (36:37):
Yeah, right, but that's NPR, yeah, yeah.
Brad (36:41):
So they're totally unbiased.
Mostly yeah.
Yeah.
If you really want a goodopinion, just go to some other
country's news about that's true.
Our country.
Yeah, yeah, a good opinion.
Just go to some other countries.
News about, it's true, ourcountry.
No, it's not bad, it's usually.
It's usually different.
I, I personally love northkorea and china I don't feel
(37:02):
like they're putting northkorea's putting out a lot of
what?
Dylan (37:06):
what are their news channels like?
Brad (37:08):
they, they have to be a rerun.
Just how amazing.
Dylan (37:14):
You think they just like UPS, like VHS tapes to every?
Brad (37:17):
house.
Dylan (37:18):
No, I think it's probably like yeah, just play this for
the next three nights.
Wait, wait, wait.
On Monday you stop at one oheight, and then on Tuesday you
start at one oh 8.5.
Welcome to Tuesday and welcometo Tuesday.
Brad (37:35):
I know this might seem pre-recorded, but it's not.
Dylan (37:36):
It's definitely live.
Brad (37:37):
Thank you, almighty leader .
Then you get to Wednesday.
You're like I don't know aboutthis.
It feels like 1984.
That's what it would feel likethe book.
Yeah, just constant propaganda,kind of like that apple
commercial.
Dylan (37:58):
What apple commercial?
Apple commercial did uh georgeorwell?
Really oh my god, they threwthe sledgehammer through the
screen.
This was back when 2000?
No, 1984.
Post-1984.
Post-84.
1984.
Brad (38:18):
Apple Macintosh.
Dylan (38:22):
Yep, it was a Macintosh commercial.
You ever seen this one?
Brad (38:27):
This was from one year ago 1984.
, oh, was it a Super Bowl ad.
Let's celebrate the firstglorious anniversary of the
information purificationpractice, 1984.
Oh, was it a Super Bowl ad.
Ugh Wait who's this?
Dylan (38:41):
This is Apple commercial.
Brad (38:42):
I know who's the girl running with the sledgehammer?
Don't know.
Dylan (38:45):
Are you sure?
Brad (38:48):
It's not Blade Runner.
Oh, why is she running likethat Very Baywatch?
What's going to happen?
She's running.
Why is she wearing a Hootersoutfit?
Don't know.
Dylan (39:06):
Weird Apple's probably going to sue her ass, whoa.
Brad (39:10):
Whoa, whoa, she's hammer throwing what?
No, that's not.
On january 24th, apple computerwill introduce macintosh and
you'll see why 1984 won't belike 1984.
Wait what?
This was actually in the 80s.
Dylan (39:32):
Yeah, what, yeah, how have you never seen that?
Brad (39:37):
I thought they were just doing a throwback.
Wait, Did Hooters steal heroutfit?
Quite possibly, when wasHooters started?
So this was what was that?
Dylan (39:52):
1983?
.
Brad (39:57):
I don't know.
Obviously, obviously it wasright before 84, right, maybe?
No, nobody wants to orderhooters online start oh, yeah,
because you know, here you gowhoa 83, 40 years old, shut up.
Dylan (40:20):
Uh what?
Hey man?
What happened?
Conspiracy theory, brad?
Brad (40:24):
oh my god how did I fall into that turn on man?
So october 4th 1983.
We're going to have to find outthe exact date of that
commercial.
Dylan (40:40):
Because either they stole that or they were in cahoots.
See what you did there.
Brad (40:46):
Mm-hmm.
Oh, funny story.
The older soccer team at ourlast tournament said that if
they won they wanted to go toHooters.
Why?
And I was like, why do you wantto be punished?
Let's make something good.
Dylan (41:01):
I mean, maybe we could go to Grand City, I don't know.
Brad (41:04):
And they're like well, just for lunch.
And I was like no, no, no, no,no, no, you don't go during
lunch, you want coffee.
And they're like why not Like,listen, listen, listen listen,
listen you go.
Dylan (41:20):
Daddy was a pro, not during lunch, daddy was a pro.
Brad (41:23):
You go, you start at happy hour and you just ride the
storm out.
That's, that's what you do.
Dylan (41:30):
Are you an advocate for an 18 year old drinking age brad
?
Brad (41:39):
oh, be curious, not judgment I'm trying to be, I'm
trying to be, I maybe raise it.
Raise what at 25?
Dylan (41:59):
yeah, you can't rent a car, can't drink.
The only issue I have is um, Idon't, and I don't know how
valid they're valid the argumentis anymore.
But if you're allowed to getdrafted in the military, yeah,
you should what?
Brad (42:10):
you should be able to have a fucking cocktail.
But what are the stats on othercountries Like?
These stats have to exist.
So if you have a 16, 17, 18drinking age, it's not 16, it's
18.
Dylan (42:23):
Yeah, whatever.
Brad (42:23):
Okay, it probably was like 14 at one point.
Dylan (42:26):
I mean, I think you can drink beer at 16 in the UK.
Brad (42:31):
So what do the bad side effects of that look like?
Dylan (42:35):
I mean, what does alcoholism look like?
Brad (42:38):
I absolutely what does binge drinking look like?
What does alcohol poisoninglook like?
The effects.
Dylan (42:43):
The effects show that you're as both male and female,
till the time you're about 21,23 depending on your maturity
age, and really 25 if you wantto take it to the extreme.
Your brain isn't fullydeveloped and then it does have
some adverse effects.
Brad (43:01):
Okay.
Dylan (43:02):
But I don't think adverse effects have been quantified.
I think it just says adverseeffects.
So is it a 1%, a 2%, a 5% a?
Brad (43:13):
10 a five percent.
I mean someone's blacking outfrom getting hit by baseball,
but that never stopped me.
So football all of it so how doyou?
Dylan (43:20):
how do you?
It's I don't know if thestudies exist where it compares
any of that brain developmentfunction across.
Brad (43:28):
Yeah, contact sports all there, there is a, there's an
idea, and I'm sure there'sprobably plenty of so of work
out here, done that.
If you take away somethingenticing like if you just show
okay, okay, this this is makesit worse.
Yeah, this isn't illegalanymore, this is just.
You can do this if you want to.
Dylan (43:47):
Even in the uk, though, they have uh, they have 21 and
older bars.
I'm pretty sure they even have25 and older bars Like fucking
adults.
You can buy alcohol, but youcan't come into this bar because
you're not 21.
And I'm pretty sure there'sstill 25-year-old bars over
there too.
You can't come into this barbecause you're not 25.
(44:10):
There's probably 85-year-oldbars over there.
That'd be sick.
I'm sure there are.
I was always thinking aboutthat.
There's a market in this townfor 30 and older bars.
Brad (44:19):
That's stupid, 30-year-olds are dumb.
Dylan (44:30):
That was funny, yeah, that was cute On the nose, if
you will third yeah, 30, andthat does.
Brad (44:38):
What does that?
Even look like.
Dylan (44:40):
This looks like a restaurant no, I think those are
the bars I go to.
I think you still get blackout.
Brad (44:46):
40 year old, 40 and over bars.
Are it's mexican restaurants?
Damn, anything about that.
Yeah, let's go.
So we do a bar with chorizo andchips.
You know you don't need to,they already exist.
You just go.
What do you want?
Dylan (45:08):
what happens if you didn't have a hot redhead to go
home to like would I go there bymyself?
Yeah, I go there by myself allthe time yeah, but are you going
there to pick up other chicks?
Brad (45:19):
no, exactly is that?
Is that what I'm supposed to doat a bar?
Dylan (45:22):
no, that's never what I've done at a bar.
We're talking about singleslike that was not explained.
Now it is okay so if you didn'thave a hot redhead to go home
to that likes to puke after mostmexican restaurant experiences.
Brad (45:37):
I I shannon I'm talking about you.
I mean, I still think that thisis the way to go.
I still think this is the wayto go.
I like it, yeah, I, I.

that and some rookies I can tellyou went to bradley no hard

it's still a win.
Dylan (46:32):
What I can't pour queso on your breasts.
Okay, I'm just gonna eat it I'mgonna eat it.
Brad (46:37):
This margarita is still good like it's.

for three months dude how manytimes you, how many times you?
Dylan (46:48):

just stick.
Brad (46:52):
It's from all the schnapps , it's all the sugar.
Dylan (46:57):
These kids don't even know what Dr McGillicuddy's is
anymore.
Brad (47:00):

Dylan (47:01):
Okay, so life lessons from this podcast for anyone out

A hundred percent Agave Right.

Agave, that's better.
Yeah, that's sweeter.
Be curious, not judgmental,unless you want to be.
Dylan (47:28):
Yeah, true, all right, it was fun while it lasted, was it
no?
Do you have some other partingthoughts that you want to talk
about?
Brad (47:39):
