I do hate caves, but the cavesdon't have a back door on the
way out.
I texted you a little bit ago acouple of weeks ago, Was it
like two weeks ago About whatthe little cave hole that I was
in.
It was much scarier in person.

I'm like I'm not, I'm notwatching this.
I'm not watching this.
I don't.
I don't know what that is, butI know it's going to be
disgusting based on who sent itto me, so I don't want to do it.

(02:49):
Or it's just mid projectilevomit of somebody like I don't
need to watch this video, likeyeah, I already know what
happens.
I and I don't like that part.

(03:11):
But yeah, I was trying to fixsomething and it was just a
literal four-foot, five-foothole in the ground.
You're kind of in it.
It's like I mean, I've been inholes before, I could see how
this could collapse and I wouldjust die upside down in here.

Dylan (03:22):
You know why do you?

Brad (03:23):
do that to yourself With my legs.
Oh, remember when we uh, wetalked about this, the dude that
got buried, the skier, or?

Dylan (03:29):
snowboarder upside down yeah, upside down.

Brad (03:32):
That's.
That's what it would look like.
It would just be me kicking mylegs and then fucking
suffocating to death.
Don't do that.
I didn't, I'm fine.
Look at me.
I don't.
I'm good to go I don't like it.

okay.
Yeah, fair, it's fair.
Uh, let's go get margaritas anduh, that's, we're gonna call it
a night.
I have two date locations deluaand Crow Valley.
Yeah, we switched, so we prettymuch only go to the river and

(04:28):
I'm getting kind of nervous thatthey're going to close why it's
not very busy.
I mean, maybe the times you go,maybe, yeah, or maybe people
see me going there and they'rejust like we'll come back later.
It's not prime time, dining timefor you too.
It's prime time, like margaritatime.

(04:49):
All day, every day.
Margaritas are good, no matterwhat time of the day it is.

What was I saying before that?
I don't know.
I feel a lot calmer now than Idid three hours ago.
You were coming in hot.
I'm glad we had, uh, somesoccer and things to do before
this, because, wow, yeah, yeah,I don't know what was happening,
but there's a lot of mixing,mixing and matching the stuff

(08:18):
happening inside the chemicals.
Speaking of chemicals, Istarted moment uh, some
momentous stack.
Yeah, what's that like ginseng?
No, it was alpha gpc, um tiresyour route?
no, I don't know what it'scalled.
I don't know some root.

(08:38):
A couple things.
Yeah, I don't know if it's justplacebo effect, but I do feel a
little bit less susceptible toadderall highs and not like just
the like sometimes when you,when it takes you up, you're
just you're trying to likeredline and keep productivity
and you're like I can just relaxfor a second.
Don't like relaxing.

(08:59):
Yeah, I don't like that.

Dylan (09:00):
That's a problem I don't like that.
That's a problem.

Brad (09:01):
I don't like that feeling.
No, Relaxing is when I drive.
It's relaxing until somebodycuts me off.
I was going to say I've talkedto you a couple times.
Then it's through the roof.
I've talked to you a coupletimes.
Yeah, Stay strapped, getclapped.
Sponsor of our video today.
Mississippi River DistillingCompany.

Dylan (09:22):
It's not a sponsor, it's still not.

Brad (09:27):
No, they're not.
It's still not no rip we can.
We can keep saying that untilit is.
I mean, that's what you want todo, sean?
Or was on our podcast.
He just didn't talk.
It's true, if we would have hadvideo back then.
I don't blame the guy?
Oh, missing out, did I tell you?

(09:48):
This is how good it's going?
I ran into a guy at lunch acouple of weeks ago yeah and uh,
really good dude, uh, greatcoach.
And I was like, oh, it'd beinteresting to get some insights
on just you know motivation andlike organization and a wide

(10:12):
big picture of you know sportsin general and consistency, like
why things go well so often forcertain clubs and not other
clubs.
It was just like nope, nope.
I was like you want to talkabout it on podcast?
Nope, good for him.
Do you know?

(10:32):
Like two second pause, justlike I could probably do some of
that more often in my life.

Dylan (10:39):
Random yeah, just ask me a question.
What was your favorite?
Nope, okay, that, yeah, yeah,just like that, that's awesome,
I can get it out.

Brad (10:52):
That's awesome good for that guy.
Yeah, not good for me, though.
Why?

Dylan (10:58):
because you got it, then I go, then I go all
introspective and I was likeit's a numbers game, you gotta.

Brad (11:05):
I got a cold call.
More people, yeah, yeah,finance bro, you got a finance
bro.
The guest that's uh, I just I'mgonna start asking everybody at
at the restaurant when I'm ondates you want to be in the
podcast?
Like uh, hey, do you knowanything about anything?
I'll talk about it.
That'd be good.
No, I'm like we got, I don't wegot yule log.

(11:27):
I don't know where we're gonnafit, like we're at a.
I'm gonna need a different,we're gonna need to get
different lenses.
I mean, I'm gonna I guess weare very not the.
The other lens goes deeper,deeper and then or sorry it goes
.
That's a 30, 56, 16.
16 goes way too wide.
The problem is it'll show thecat box.

(11:49):
Yeah, this is just practice.
This isn't even a real.
This isn't even like a realepisode.
Uh, no, I'm kidding it is.
But okay, you know, look back.
I mean, joe rogan started inlike a couch, did he?
Yeah, oh, people make that lookgood.
Yeah, we would actually.
I just don't.

(12:09):
You're not like a comfy, cozyguy to me no, I tried I tried,
like setting up and recording mytherapy session the other day,
and she's like this is not okay,you can't do this.
I was like I, but I have.
You know, I have.
I have problems remembering.
I want to figure it out.
I'm going to teach you how touse a lab mic.
After this, this is not goingto work.

(12:31):
I'm going to teach you how touse a lab mic after this.
A lab mic, lab Lab, like alaboratory, the one that clips
on right here.

Dylan (12:39):
Oh, okay, and it's wireless, it'll plug in.

Brad (12:43):
Yeah, I'm going to be like those YouTubers, the old guys
that clip it on their hat.
That might be one of mypersonal favorites.

Dylan (12:51):
I have that one, especially the side.
So that's what it is, the sideclip.

Brad (12:54):
Those have a microphone built in and you can use it that
way, but I hate how big andbulky they are when I watch
other videos, so I have a labmic for mine.
No, I like, I like when they're, when it's like this, it's just
like on their whole head.
It's my favorite.
It's like Austin powers whenhe's like mole, mole, mole mole,
that's a morning.

(13:16):
Your eyes get naturally drawn toit Cause it's in.
Or the guys that do the thewired AirPods and they, they
always have to hold it Like umAirPods.
And they, they always have tohold it like the microphone
doesn't work, so they have tohold the microphone right here.

Dylan (13:27):
I work for.
I work for my phone right here.
See it, I worked with a salesmanUm, that was that guy.

Brad (13:32):
I mean, he would walk around, but they weren't AirPods
, they were just the that's backwhen you used to plug them in.
Yes, but I've actually.

Dylan (13:39):
But, now the best part about the.

Brad (13:41):
AirPods.
They have wires for them thataren't there just to hold them
around your neck.
I went back to the wiredplug-in ones because mine kept
dying and I'm like I don't likethis.
But then when I'm working withthem, every time I move my arm
down, they rip them out of myears.

Dylan (13:59):
And.

Brad (14:00):
I want to murder somebody.
I know Catch-22.
I've been thinking about buyinga pair of ISO tunes for uh down
here.
Yeah, it's pretty lame, whyCause?

Dylan (14:09):
Okay, nevermind.

Brad (14:11):
I have my Stan or sorry, not Stan I have my uh three M
work tunes.
Those are pretty nice.
I can tell people why we're inthe basement.
Dylan did a thing you can't see, but all around us is a is a
workshop.
So, um, what do you mean?
It's like some tables with somestuff on it.

(14:32):
What do you mean with somestuff?
Like some tools?

Dylan (14:35):
yeah, this is a workshop.

Brad (14:37):
You don't think it's a workshop, it's more of a
workshop in your garage.
Wow, fucking shots fired.
Yeah, uh, it's cleaner.
I definitely.
I meticulously clean this thing, not just before and after
every every project or every daythat I'm doing something.
It's like in between steps Iclean.
I hard reset, like 20 of mineevery day, okay, so what brad's

(15:00):
alluding to is I'm building anairplane.
Yeah, yeah, um, uh, questionsthat I get often oh, like a
little one seater, like a littleguy, and you're like no, it's a
four seater, it's a it's afully fledged.

Dylan (15:12):
That's not for the fucking model airplane?

Brad (15:14):
Uh, it is not.
It's not a model.
It does not even have anymovable parts.
It's empty.
Weight is 1400 pounds.
Yeah, and weight is 1400 pounds.
Yeah, and when you push it offthe mountain it's gonna go
straight down, most likely, yeah, yeah, so, um, because I assume
that's how you take off, is youjust shove it off something

(15:34):
really high?
Uh, james bond, which is also agood way to get rid of people
you don't like golden eye?
It was golden eye.
It was when him and alex werein the uh dam at the beginning.
The russians and they push anairplane.
Remember, he has to run afterthe airplane?
I don't remember, it's been along time and then he pulls on
the stick and gets it up.

Dylan (15:50):
But he does, yeah not the only time he's taken off in a
jet at the beginning of a moviewell tomorrow never dies as well
.

Brad (15:57):
Yeah, I mean he flies airplanes a lot.
Yeah, he does actually allkinds jetpacks, airplanes,
helicopters, hella airplanes.
He does the one in did allkinds Jetpacks, airplanes,
helicopters, hella airplanes.
He does the one in Bolivia,that was the one right after.

Dylan (16:09):
Oh, that was a big one yeah that was the twin engine,
yeah, it might have been a Bsomething.

Brad (16:15):
It was like, yeah, I don't know, like a mini C-130.
Definitely not that it was.
I said mini, yeah, okay that itwas.
I said mini, yeah, okay,completely different wing
structure.
So yeah, uh, building anairplane, so was going to build
into the garage garage isdetached from my, my, uh, my, my
residency comfort and all my, Iam so glad that I did not have

(16:40):
enough power run out to thatgarage to build the power, all
the tools.
So, um, we made a hard decisionof it wasn't a really hard
decision.
We don't use this space.

Dylan (16:48):
Yeah, we didn't use the space at all, but we had a big
comfy couch down here.

Brad (16:51):
So we got rid of the pretty furniture upstairs, moved
the big comfy couch upstairs,which actually is super comfy
didn't you notice that when youwalked?

Dylan (16:57):
in.

Brad (16:57):
Yeah, I noticed the giant fucking couch was the entire
living room.

Dylan (17:00):
I didn't know it was down here.

Brad (17:01):
It was down here okay yeah , so emptied this out, moved all
the equipment down here and, um, I am so happy now that it's
cold out that I'm not in thatgarage.
Yeah, I bought uh, thirtydollars worth of draft door
stops the other day for mygarage door because the top of
it leaks air.
Um, but I recently found somegood, uh little hacks on on some

(17:26):
.
I'm back on Tik TOK.
Yeah, yeah, like what?
Um, just like I wedge butrandom pieces of wood between
the garage door rail and thedoor to push it tight against
the air seal.

Dylan (17:42):
Okay.

Brad (17:43):
This guy just mounts toggle clamps on either side,
like three to a side.
Yeah, clamps them down, pushesit tight against the door.

Dylan (17:51):
That's it Okay.

Brad (17:53):
I'm like, yeah, that's probably less intrusive on the
mechanicals of that, instead ofme just hammering wedges into it
.
I don't like it that muchanyways.
Wow, uh, what the door, thetiktok video no, the door I
don't like the door that much solet's see if it'll look good.

(18:14):
Oh, oh, yep, right there, that'sthe airplane.
No, it's not.
Yeah, it is.
Uh, yours is like an ugly green.
Uh, no, it's not.
Oh, yeah, no, that's the primer.
I'm looking at it right now.
Oh, fuck what.
Oh the flickering?
Yeah, we have ghosts down hereReally.
Yeah, oh what, he told me that.
I'm sorry.
Fuck, it's just the other.

(18:35):
I got James Bond over there,though One of them yeah, roger.
Moore, it's a Vans RV10.
That's what we're building.
How many pounds of cocaine canyou fit?
That About a usable About 850.
It's about 1,000 pounds, usable1,100 depending on.
I'm going to load it down,though Like Tom Cruise no, not

(19:01):
like that movie.
That's a good looking one,though.
That guy did a good job on it,so I don't I.
I are you gonna have me paintit?
No, uh, what what?
You could do something likethat.
Fuck yeah, I don't trust you.
I got frog tape, I'm good I'mgood to go.
I love that.
That's the qualifier.
I've got frog tape.
Yeah, that looks.

(19:23):
But do you know?
What's really funny about thisis that I'm over here laughing
like not a fucking chance.
But every time I do something anew part or a new thing that
ain't related all I'm doing isgoing I got the, I got the tools
, I got the.
I've never done before, butI'll do it.
Yeah, yeah.
And who'd you call for paint?
yeah, yeah yeah, this isn'tworking yeah, it's not working,

(19:44):
I'm so glad it was not amechanical issue and it was just
a function of me not mixing theprimer.
Well, enough that, and that wasprimer, you know.
Yeah, I'm an artiste.
I I've never seen you doanything artistic, whatever,
fuck you I used to do fauxpainting.
So that's what your plane wouldlook like It'd just be fucking

(20:05):
sponges all over the place.
That would be good.

Dylan (20:10):
It'd be a good look You'd pom-pom it 100%.
But die down on theaerodynamics a little bit.

Brad (20:17):
Yeah, just make it textured, although so hopefully
2026 is planned flight time now.
Mythbusters, did that golf ballcar?
You ever see that one?
Uh, so they were going over theaerodynamics of a golf ball,
okay, and wondered if theyapplied it large scale to a

(20:37):
vehicle dude I love, I loveairplay.
it went right back to it.
Thanks, if, if it would be youknow, as aerodynamic and all
that, and I think it ended uplike, yes, it was so, even
because the way they did it waslike they modeled the clay all

(20:57):
over the place and then tookthese divots out.
Yeah like the dimples, yeah,and if they did it enough, even
though they added all of thisweight with the clay, it was
still slightly more efficientthan a regular car, so you could
do that.
Speaking of golf, I got dumpedby my two-man partner today.
I'm looking at you, mikeGonzalez.

(21:17):
You were supposed to golf today.
No, we have a summer leaguewhere you get a partner's you
just went there I know, but hedumped me for next season
already.
Yeah, got no one to fold them.
Yeah, exactly so I just didn't.
You just revamp your swing.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's probablywhy he's done with me.

(21:38):
Oh, so that's not perfected?
Oh god, not yet.
You rent it.
You don't own it, man.
Yeah, little things, harveypennock these river pilots are
going down really well right now.
Uh, you want to talk aboutassassins?
I had to.
Are we talking about new york?
Uh, yeah, I think so yeah I, umfull transparency, have not

(22:02):
done a lot of reading on it andI've just been oh, oh, no you
don't need to read it.
Okay, yeah, no, I'm not.
No, this is not a fuckingfactual take, hot takes.
Yeah, this is hot takes, hottakes, hot takes, because I've
been on the old ticky-tocky.
Okay, tell me about it.
I think Wait just before that Becurious not judgmental.

(22:24):
That's how I feel about TikTok.
Funny thing about that Nobody'sjudging the guy that shot the
CEO very harshly.
I was going to say nobodyFormer Hawkeye, by the way.
Like went to Iowa.
Yeah, he went to Iowa.
He's an Iowa grad.
Okay, I live in Iowa, brad.
I know you live in Iowa.
He's an Iowa grad.
Okay, I live in Iowa, brad.

(22:45):
I know you live in Illinois,that's fine.

Dylan (22:48):
Okay, anyway.

Brad (22:49):
I don't think that's pertinent to the story.
Let's continue.
So douchebag United HealthcareCEO gunned down outside of a
conference.
Nobody really seems that upsetby it.
Do you know what happened atthe conference?
Did he lay off people?
No, he was going to theconference, I believe.
I thought they said he wasleaving his hotel to go to

(23:11):
conference, correct?
Okay, the conference still wenton, even though he got shot.
They probably had a lot ofmoney invested.
They can't lose that man, andtherein is the moral of the
story.
Life goes on.
Uh, he, yeah.
So we need to learn some moredetails about about that.

(23:32):
What was what was written onthe?
Deny something and depose?
So casings, guys, yeah, casings, they're different than the
bullets.

Dylan (23:52):
Yes, sorry so.

Brad (23:53):
The shell.
Yeah, nobody's going throughthe metallurgy already and being
like oh he wrote on this yeah,especially because it's probably
hollow point.

Dylan (24:01):
So they're going to just explode, yeah, yeah.

Brad (24:04):
But, yes, yes, there was.
What was that?
Deny, uh, uh, like, argue.
Well, give me a d word forargue deposition, no, discourse,
no, don't know, don't make mego to the, go to the sphere,

(24:28):
don't, don't make me go to thetiktok.
Okay, anyways, you wrote onthat um, new york's offering up
whole ten thousand dollars, sothey like really want him.
Yeah, for, for a guy that isworth, uh, a fair amount of
money that got murdered 10K,that's it.
Yep, I feel like.
And so the general consensus.

(24:50):
I feel like we okay, so Trumpwon the presidency again, we're
back into TV land and now we'regoing through like fucking
actual episodes of the Punisher.
That's what it feels like itfeels, but I think, I think it.
I think, think this is asimulation.
I don't think this is real life.
It was fifty thousand dollarsfor the boston marathon bombers.

(25:11):
That's what I was curious about.
Yeah, there's two of them.
Right, still 25, yeah, yeah,and that was back in 2015 but,
but they killed innocent people.
But they killed innocent people.
Yeah, you don't see a lot ofpeople really upset about this

(25:32):
one, do you?
I see a lot of other insuranceCEOs Pretty upset, really.
Yeah, the same day that he gotshot, blue cross, blue shield
said we're going to decide howlong surgery should be covered
for anesthesia.
Like, how long do you think akidney transplant takes?
30 minutes, no, okay.

(25:55):
Well, if it takes seven hours,then we're going to bill you six
and a half hours of anesthesia.
We're only covering 30 minutesof it and I don't know.
But there's a real senseamongst the people of something
needs to be done.

Dylan (26:17):
Yeah.

Brad (26:17):
What do you think that is?
Well, I think what was it?
United made like $31 billionrevenue, but revenue is just a
bullshit number.
It's about what the bottom lineis.
$9 billion profit.
Okay, so we'll call it 30-ishpercent, give or take a few

(26:45):
points.
Yeah, it's not.
It's not uncommon.
Most a lot of businesses havebetween 20 and 40 profit margin.
Um, I mean, it matches theirdenial rate, which was the
highest of any insurance companyat over 30%.

Dylan (27:05):
Yeah.
I'm I'm not defending theinsurance companies, by the way,
I don't know what to do with myline.

Brad (27:12):
While I wait, I'm going to put it right there on my mic
stand.
So that's.
I'm really mad that you get amonitor and I don't that's a
problem?
That's a problem.
I, I I sorry.
Are you setup?
That's a problem.
I, I'm sorry.
Are you?
Are you really shit?
I can't now.
It's on, it's on, it's on the,it's on the mid, the mimmage, um

(27:37):
, I don't know, man, I, I have aproblem with insurance, mostly
because government's probablyinvolved.
So you think more privatizationis better?
Yeah, more privatization.

Dylan (27:54):
Yes.

Brad (27:59):
I don't know if either one's good, because I just read
a whole bunch of shit about likemedicare scams.
Yeah, it's not good.
No, you know where they happenin retirement communities.
Uh, give me a state florida,yep.
Give me a city orlando.
Nope.

(28:19):
Tampa, nope miami.
Yeah, I mean they happeneverywhere they happen.
In miami, uh, freaking, amultiple fold of all of the
other, florida, what kind?
of scams.
So they.
There are buildings like officebuildings, one room office

(28:42):
buildings dedicated to this,okay, where you walk into the
building and there's like littlenames and everything on the
outside of the doors, and thenyou walk in and there's just
like maybe an old dude sittingbehind the desk you're like hey,
and he's like people don't comein here, like what are you

(29:06):
doing here?
I don't know how I got here Bye.
I don't know what's happening.
Like, what's on your computerthere?
It's not plugged in to the wall.
There's just one person thatsits in these things and it's a
physical address that somebodyelse can bill this out to, and
so what they do is they getclients and then they get some

(29:30):
doctors to sign off on stuff,and then they just keep sending
stuff, and there's literaloffice buildings just dedicated
to this.
Yeah, and the people that aresupposed to be enforcing it are
aware of this, but prosecutingeach and every single one of

(29:51):
those is like, it takes time.
So, like there is a, there's aunit that is dedicated to that.
There's three people Miami has,like most of the people there,
because that's where it's it'smost relevant at.
So, um, so there's, oh, there'sproblems all over the place.

(30:16):
Oh, oh, that's what I was gonnatalk about.
So when rome got insuranceadjuster shows up and he was a
flood guy.
He, that's what he does I thinksome other maybe natural
disaster, hurricane as well buthe would come in and he was a

(30:37):
claims guy.
He would walk around thebuilding, take notes, document
and I need to.
I need to have a conversationwith a couple of people again
because I don't want to give outfalse information.
I know this for sure.
He told me I make a percentageof what I give out.
Okay, so, and I'm almostpositive.

(31:01):
He told me what was happeningis insurance was just so
cutthroat that they were tryingto deny, deny to save, you know,
make more money.
And then the federal governmentcame in and put some rule in
place and they're like thesepeople have to be independent
and they get paid on apercentage of what they get.

(31:21):
And he goes I love giving moneyaway, he's like where's all
your furniture at?
Did flood take it?
And I'm like I thought so and Iwas like I didn't see any
furniture in there.

Dylan (31:32):
It floated down the river .

Brad (31:34):
And you're like it absolutely did.

Dylan (31:36):
It's probably in Louisiana right now.

Brad (31:38):
But it just.
He's like yeah, so I get, I getpaid.
I get paid a cut of what I giveout, like that's wild, so you
are paid more money to spendmore money.
He's like yeah, basically, andin this year the following year,
uh, if you increase.

(32:09):
So you got to just like are youtalking about like?
are you talking I'm talkingabout margin growth or are you
talking about like growth?
Because your margin, when youpick a business, your business,
you know your vertical probablyhas, uh, uh, normally will have
some sort of percentage attachedto it and that's just kind of

(32:29):
what the market will dictate.
So a contractor like you, sothere's like so for, like every
hundred thousand dollars of work, let's talk about your labor.
Let's talk about, so everyhundred thousand dollars of work
you do that includes buyingmaterial labor.
You're probably what, netting25 to $40,000 on that a hundred

(32:52):
thousand dollars worth of work,okay.

Dylan (32:54):
No, I'm just, I'm just.

Brad (32:55):
I don't know.
In your field, I mean I thinkthat's probably, I mean it
probably you can probably goupwards of 50 if you're really
really good at what you do andyou're really high in demand,
and it varies, yeah.
So basically, but the marketwill always dictate, like some
sort of.
What I'm saying is profitmargin, but there is like a

(33:15):
general average, like percentagegrowth, percentage growth.
It depends on the industry aswell, because businesses that
are in the support or customerservice industry you can grow
really, really fast, you cansell new products, you do all
these things.
But how do you support it on thebackend and not have attrition
and a churn rate that just goesthrough the roof as well?

(33:36):
So what you have to, you knowyou kind of have to be careful
with what sector, what industryyou're in, which is we want
growth because we want tosustain, but we can't do growth
at a rate that's so aggressivethat we can't backfill employees
to be able to support whatwe're doing.
So software, um, other thingsare different, but like you, you
can't be like oh, I'm going togo from doing half a million

(33:59):
dollars a year in business to $2million a year in business
because you can't hire guys fastenough to come help.
You do that and you're.
So I'm saying is that okay?

Dylan (34:08):
so I guess what you want to outgrow.

Brad (34:10):
I mean you want I mean six to 15%, depending on your, your
sector.
Some people will say we need tobe double digit.
You know, okay.
But you, yeah, you want tooutpace.
If you're not growing, you'redying.
Because there there is a apercentage of uh, I don't even
know what you would call that,but as shit gets more expensive,

(34:32):
or labor gets more expensive,like so that's inflation.
So so there is a a yearly.
You so more or less so.
So when people talk about moreprofits and there is, and
everyone immediately goes toowners and everyone are
stakeholders they just want topad their pockets.
They just want to pad theirpockets.
And don't get me wrong, there'salways a case for that.

(34:57):
But they're the ones thatinvested, they're the ones that
put a lot of times, a lot oftheir money on the line and they
risked a lot to put that there.
So there should be a return onthat investment.
However, you have you're.
You're a 40 person shop.
Okay, you got two owners, threeowners, single owner.

(35:18):
You have a 40 person shop.
You have 38 ish people.
You know, know, if it's a 200shop, they come in every day and
do a job to make the owner'smoney, they make themselves a
salary at that time.
Mostly they might be an hourlywaged employee.

(35:39):
But if you don't grow, theydon't get get a pancreas Right,
because that cost.
So companies have to growbecause it's it's to me, it's
ethical to want to grow for youremployees benefits, because,
yes, and you know we, you workedyour tail off this year for us

(36:00):
we want to not only give youbonuses, we want to make sure
your base comp next year grows.
So when everyone gets alwaysmad about like, oh, they're just
sniffing for more pennies andit's like, maybe, but you also
have to think about all thefamilies they're feeding and
they want those.
Those employees have been loyalto them and they want to
provide for that.

(36:20):
Well, so yeah.
So what I'm getting at is thereis a essentially a base number
yearly yeah, that has to be likeit's every, it's every.
vertical like if you profit,it's vertical, the vertical man.
If you profit a hundredthousand this year and then you
profit a hundred thousand thenext year, it's it's not even a

(36:43):
zero%, it's going to be like anegative.

Dylan (36:46):
Yeah, there there's a but like.

Brad (36:48):
So profit again.
There's deceiving here.
Profit is after you've paid allyour employees and everything
else, right, so for you to, foryou to do more next year and to
still have the same bottom lineas what you did last year, that
means you're probably your topline revenue grew a little bit,
yeah, so there, there, there'sall these finances and art
science, all these differentthings all combined at once,

(37:09):
it's.
You know where do you combinethat?
So you could, you could also butyou want to do is you
definitely want your top linegrowing, no matter what.
But you what you can also bedoing, but you can also be
cutting back.
So Cutting back expenses.
But think about this you growthe top line but you buy another
business and so you've got tofinance that.

(37:29):
That's a really expensive checkand the bank wants however much
money a month.
So sure, we made, we'll say,$100,000 last year.
Brad sees Jeff's contractingbusiness down the street and he
goes hey, jeff, I like your bookof business, I'm gonna buy your
book of business.
Fuck you, jeff.
But jeff goes all right, I wantthree year, I want three, I

(37:53):
want a three multiple, I makethis, I make this a year.
Yeah, I think you should pay methree times and that's my
go-away price.
He said okay, cool, so you payhim that.
Well, now you've got to pay,jeff, and it's, of course, over
a period of time.
So you still make the samebottom line.
Your top line's growing, buteventually it's going to pay off
because you're paying.
You know you have a bank noteabove your bottom line.

(38:14):
So you know it's all just agame.
At the end of the day you haveto win.
But you see, you have to knowwhat you're doing along the way.
I mean, right, um, butinsurance is an odd, is an odd
one.
It is because it's just, it's adifferent.

(38:37):
It's a different game.
You're hoping nothing.
You're hoping people pay andnothing happens to them, right?
Or when something catastrophicdoes happen, you're hoping to
catch them in one of the clausesthat gets you out of it.
Yeah, yeah and yeah.

(39:00):
However, I will say, becauseit's such a highly regulated
industry.
Again, this is what I get into.
Highly regulated industriesdon't have free market
tendencies, which means you canhave competitors come in and out
very easily.
So, because of the highlyregulated nature of it,

(39:20):
unitedhealthcare is protected ina sense's.
We don't have to worry aboutpeople trying to infringe on our
business, so we can kind of dowhatever we want.
I look at a lot of businesseslike them are there.
Yeah, how many people, how manypeople are getting I mean, I
mean, they're big, they're bigthere's a there's a lot of big.

(39:41):
There's a lot of big insurancecompanies.

Dylan (39:45):
Okay, I mean by a lot.

Brad (39:47):
How many people do you know that aren't on Blue Cross,
blue Shield or United Healthcare?
I only know like four peopletotal, I know, and two of them
are herbal holistic, so theydon't have insurance, they're
never going to get sick.

Dylan (40:03):
They're a larger organization.

Brad (40:08):
So there's not a lot of movement.
And what I'm saying is is yes,in the short run those can
become mon monopolistic becausethey take a chunk of the market,
but after a period of timesomeone's going to go.
They're really shitty customerservice, they're really this,
they're really that.
Let's create another insurancecompany over here.

(40:29):
And this is again.
You have to decrease regulationfor this, because you got to be
able to have some easy entryand exits and guess what?
We're going to pay out, nomatter what.
You know, we're just going tobe the really good customer
service people, right.
And then all of a suddeneveryone's going to go.
Oh, we want to go over there.
So you have to like there's alittle bit of that easy ease of
movement.
I get that.
But the way that insuranceworks also is it's like what do

(40:54):
you, what are you paying into it?
So if you start up a smallbusiness, you don't have as many
people paying into that.
Oh yeah, I mean that could bean.
I'm assuming that could be amajor issue insurance wise
because what if you got 10people paying in and fucking
nine of them are, you know, uh,like high risk heart attack or

(41:16):
something you know?
Yeah, you're really sure.
So it's something like that.
I don't you know.
So there, there is a.
It's it's like oh no, this is,this is what's offered, and we
offer this cause it's thecheapest one.
And then all of a sudden, yougot, you know, a hundred million
people on your insurance roll.
You're like yeah well, we, we gowith this one because it's it's
the cheapest, and so I'm not.

(41:36):
I don't, I don't go all the wayto the extreme, which is like
remove government.
I think government has itsplace and government is supposed
to be a safety net.
But I think you allow freemarket terrain and then you have
a program that says for thepeople, these people that are
going to fall through that net,you know the, the free market
net, because there are the veryextreme, high risk, the whatever

(41:57):
.
Yeah, you, we have programsthat we can backfill you with.
So that would be interesting toget a take on, because there's
like a 13% average denial rate.
That's kind of the status quoacross all of that.
But you have a wide variation,from companies that are less

(42:21):
than that to United, who wasbelow 30%, so they were on the
very high side.
And then you had a couple otherbig ones that were in the
twenties and like blue cross wasdown there, you know somewhere
20 or under, or they were prettyclose to the cutoff, I think
something like that.
So, but sorry, I just want tolook at the monitor.

(42:43):
So, yeah, I don't know, butyeah, I get the sense that
people are not upset.
We just went down a very deeprabbit hole to understand that
nobody's upset that the CEO ofUnited health work healthcare

(43:04):
died.
I mean, I'm doing those I'mdoing the the drone.
I'm doing the droney voice again.
I gotta get some.
Some people are gonna get likedude, nope, please don't don't.
Uh, obviously some people areupset and yeah uh, an australian
said it best um america.
I'd like to apologize that yourunrestricted gun laws actually

(43:25):
do, uh, seem to be solving someproblems.
Oh, only an australian can saythat, though.
Yeah, but that's not a road youwant to go down, it's okay.
So at the end, of the day atthe end of the day one.
It's not solving the problem.

Dylan (43:46):
At the end of the day one .
It's not solving the problem.

Brad (43:48):
No, it's not, because it's going to create a bigger divide
.
You're using it wrong.
The other side, yeah, yeah, fuck, you Don't tell me how to use
this no, no, no no, no, no, it's, it's, no, no, no Other.
Oh, weird how that works.
So this side is for twist offs.
If you're offs, if you're, ifyou, uh, are feeling a little
weak, but the teeth, the, theteeth are for the twist.

(44:09):
Yeah, what, what?
The game's stupid.
This teeth are for the twistoff and then.
So still, one of the best giftsI've ever gotten.
By the way, this is a k bar.
You're welcome.
Um, you didn't give me this.
What sean eldridge did I wasgoing to.
No, thank you, sean eldridge, Ithought about it, yeah, uh.
So I'd seen some other thingswhere it was like whoever hired

(44:34):
this guy is so smart becausethere's so many people that
would be upset, like it'simpossible to like start
tracking down and I'm like newyork's got $10,000.
They're going to get this guyby Friday, right?
Do you know who's going to beon the case?
Andy Sandberg.

Dylan (44:50):
Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Brad (44:51):
Okay, and then he watched the video.

Dylan (44:56):
Yeah, nobody paid this guy to do it Didn't his weapon
jam.

Brad (45:00):
It certainly looked like it was not working properly.
Yes, but good, because he waspulling repeatedly and on the
slide.
So I'm I'm guessing maybe itdid jam.
Um, but how many people canactually have the wherewithal to
clear, like to go through theclear, and still I'm not saying

(45:20):
he didn't know what he was doing, no, I'm just saying that's.
You would think most peoplepanic if you know if your gun
jammed and you didn't have someand I don't know if that was, or
maybe off the get-go or maybeit was in between.
Or maybe they had no idea whatthey were doing and they just
were racking it.

Dylan (45:39):
If they had no idea?
They just were racking it asthey were going.

Brad (45:43):
It's like a single shot.
You just got to rack it everytime, right?
Also, when you start engravingyour shells Some Derek Zoolander
shit I mean that's not good.
You know, if you look atcertain shells wrong, they jam.
Yeah, I mean there's aprecision there.
I mean like when I used toshoot regularly and you're like,
oh uh, ammo is kind of, kind ofexpensive.

(46:06):
I'm going to buy some, some ofthis cheap ammo All my guys.
That work for me Good, that workfor me good, good.
Good is ammo.
Is cheap ammo good good?
No, it's not.
Do you know how easy this isfor?

Dylan (46:21):
me it's not easy.

Brad (46:21):
It's not easy, sorry, you gotta keep racking it so many
people like at a gun rangethey'll get a jam and they're
just like it's fucking jammed onhere.
I can't get this thing out ofhere.
You're like, please unjam, justI just fucking solve this

(46:45):
problem right now.
That should be.
That should be your t-shirt,please unjam.
Get it over with.
Please unjam.
But the amount of heat that'sproduced in that and any, any
movement in that shell casing,it's like stuck, just like that
instant.
And so you can imagine now thatafter they found these and

(47:09):
you're fucking around with the,the casing, it's like okay, well
, was it engraved?
If it was engraved, is therelike a burr on the outside of
the shell?
If there is, you might not wantto fucking come out.
I got Scotch Brite over there.
He didn't do that.
7447.
It's the maroon pad.

Dylan (47:30):
A lot of deburring over here.

Brad (47:33):
So that makes sense actually, yeah, but uh, yeah,
why it's so wild?
The uh england's a lot similarto australia and that their
views are very, very opinionatedabout us.
It's so fun to hear otherpeople's opinions of americans

(47:57):
opinionated about us.
It's so fun to hear otherpeople's opinions of americans,
yeah, like well, why do you need?
Why do you need?
And you know ben's family saylike, why do you, why do you
guys need guns?

Dylan (48:02):
you're like I don't think we need guns, I just we, just
we just grew up, we just havethem.

Brad (48:07):
It's like growing up with your ball in your square, you
just yeah yeah, I mean I'm likefour and my grandpa's like try
to hold this double barrelshotgun.
It's fucking heavy, grandpa, isit loaded?
I don't know.
You get a 12 gauge.
A 12 gauge when you're nineyears old, double barrel, yeah,
and you're just your shoulderssore the next day oh no, he

(48:28):
wouldn't let us shoot it, oh nothat was for intruders only oh,
but I remember shooting skeet.
I mean it's funny because youknow english people act like
they're all fucking smart, butthere's manchester united fans
out there.
So oh, and thai fans we knowbetter, yeah, root thai better

(48:48):
than, oh, that was a direct shot.
Happened, so, yeah, but uh,australians seem to be the most
outspoken, though I do they.
Oh, that was a direct shotHappens though, yeah, but
Australians seem to be the mostoutspoken, though they have like
a very, very opinion.

Dylan (49:00):
Yeah, but they have you guys are.

Brad (49:02):
So why are you guys?
And it's almost, it'scondescending, like what.

Dylan (49:07):
It is because they got rid of all their guns.
You guys aren't.
You guys aren't.
They took the moral.
You guys aren't.
You guys aren't elevated enoughto get rid of your guns.
They took the moral high ground.

Brad (49:15):
Yeah, but what about Crocodile Dundee?
Did he get rid of his guns?
He didn't need guns.
I feel like he had a knife.
I feel like there was probablyguns.
I mean, that was never in themovies, but I mean they still
have.
But his house probably.
Their gun laws are just superstrict, right like there still
has to be rifles, kind of like.

(49:36):
It's like hunting rifles, it'sthe uk is the same way, though,
like it's, you have to have someproperty.
You gotta have a 20 gauge uhover under shotgun, but you must
provide a proof that you havededicated hunting dogs in order
to get the ammunition yeah, it'swild.
Well, that's, that was like thehash house harrier thing, right

(49:58):
, like the origins of that, likethat was off season, that's how
that got started.
Heron hounds, yeah, when it waslike, okay, well, we can't well
, we can't go hunting well here?
No, that's not how the hash was.

Dylan (50:10):
Yes it was no, it wasn't yes, it was.
I know the orange Fucking.
Look at that.
No you don't.

Brad (50:14):
Oh shit, hair and hounds.
So that was a?
Yes, it came from that game,but that was a schoolhouse game
that they grew up playing.
No, it wasn't Because DrinkingGod damn it the older guys drank
yes yeah, they made that up.
So what happened was follow,follow, follow.

(50:37):
They use chalk you not to talkfor five seconds okay, they use
chalk, they lay down a trail.
This flower so sugar.
The game of heron houndsoriginates from off season,
where they would go run aroundand fuck about.
It became a schoolhouse game.
What happened was is thesethese expats lived in kuala

(51:00):
lumpur.
British army guys.

Dylan (51:02):
Kuala lumpur is that thailand?
I?

Brad (51:06):
don't know.
No, it's over there, right,it's over there singapore.
Anyway, the house they were atwas called the Hash House, like
that it was.
That was the name, becauseBrits like to name their
residences.
Skyfall yeah, I gotta name myhouse, so you do need to name

(51:27):
your house.

A Fish Called Wanda that's thename of the movie.
You've never seen A Fish CalledWanda.
I didn't know we named fish.
I thought we were naming houses.
You need to watch that movie.
It's really good.
I don't know about that.

(54:22):
I feel like I got some otherthings on my list.
This Kevin's going to drive me.
Do you know what I wait?
Kevin Durant, kevin, kevinKlein Sorry, yeah, that's what I
was going to say.

(54:44):
I think maybe so.
British gangster GeorgeThomason and his hapless aide
Ken Pyle draft a pair ofarrogant Americans, grifter
Wanda and weapons expert OttoWest, for a massive diamond
heist.
When the job goes badly, wandaattempts to seduce george's
stuffy lawyer, archie leach johncleese to find out where george

(55:04):
hid the diamonds.
Meanwhile, ken repeatedlyattempts to kill an elderly
woman, patricia hayes, whowitnessed the robbery.
This sounds like Lock Stock andTwo Smoking Barrel Kind of.
It's a really good movie.
That's not what I thought thatwas about.
It's like the original.

(55:25):
It's a 1988 movie.
Kevin Kline Kevin Kline, he wasin a.
What was that house?
Klein?
He was in a.
What was that house one?
He was in a lot of them.
Let me see a picture.
I really like Kevin Klein as anactor.

Not Cider House, look it up,hurry up.
Well, he was in Pink Panther,emperor's Club.
Life as a House.

It's really sad.

Dylan (56:20):

Emperor's Club is really sad.

Brad (56:22):
emperor's club is really sad.
Okay, because he spoiler alerthe dies.

Smith.
Fuck you, one of the bestmovies ever.
Fuck off, what are you talkingabout?
Okay, dude, 16% on RottenTomatoes Like, how does it not
get better?

Dylan (57:03):

great porn and no win.

Brad (57:08):
It was like the yeah, but there was a movie where you
could get.
You get porn on when oh no, no.

Dylan (57:12):
No, this was just the music one, because it was a
player.

Brad (57:14):
Yeah there was Winamp yeah , and I think that's what it was
.
I'm pretty sure that's what itwas.
So they open source Winamp andyou can get it again now so you
could get skins for it.
Yeah, I know I was like fucking, what is this?
This is amazing.
I think I had a Wild Wild Westskin for that Dude.

(57:38):
I saw Wild Wild West at 53rdCinema.

Dylan (57:52):
The difference between your generation and my
generation.

Brad (57:54):
He's going to slap Kid Rock when he does it yes.

Dylan (58:01):
Chris Rock would have been so much better it would
have been so much better.

Brad (58:10):

Dylan (58:13):
Kid.

Brad (58:13):
He's at me.

Dylan (58:16):
Name out of the mouth.

Brad (58:21):
That would have been really good.
Chris Rock took it much better.
I think Kid Rock would havecried a little bit and then been
like get him he would havepointed to somebody.
Probably, yeah, I think he couldhave pointed to that.
Probably yeah, I think he couldhave pointed to that guy that
we talked about in one of ourfirst episodes.
Yeah, I did hear that Kid Rocksent bodyguards after Tommy Lee

(58:43):
one time because they were bothtrying to date Pamela at the
same time.
Yeah, I mean, if you're goingthat routemmy lee's top of the
pyramid, yeah you have to takehim out, yeah yeah, he's the
final boss.
So, yeah, big dick.
Yeah, kid rocks a ways down.

(59:06):
That what's his real name.
It's clarence, is it?

Dylan (59:12):
I don't know it's something like that, though
You're right.

Brad (59:16):
There's something about Tommy Lee that's just like.
Hey, I love that.
We have a Yule log, by the way.
Oh, it's gotten out of controlagain.

Durlock, my wife.
What'd she do?
Egg carton, okay.
Candle wax, sawdust.
Where did she get the candlewax From old candles, okay, so
she just melts down the wax.
And then I thought candlesmelted, and then went away.
Yeah, but there's alwaysresidual, oh yeah.

(59:58):
Or like the wick can't get toit, yeah, yeah.
Or you have the shitty onesthat just burn halfway.
So egg carton Mm-hmm.
I thought you had a kid thatwas allergic to eggs, so, huh, I
miss.

Dylan (01:00:10):
Eggs aren't dear born.

Brad (01:00:13):
Eggs are literally my favorite thing in the world and
I don't buy them.
No, I don't know why.

Dylan (01:00:20):
The funniest part about that is, that Shannon ate eggs.

Brad (01:00:23):
I stopped cooking when I started taking Adderall Ooh,
like that was just a revelationI had about five seconds ago
before I said that, yeah, Istopped.
But I used to have everyingredient, fresh and non-fresh,
in this house and I used tocook all the time.
You know what I used to cook Hotpockets no, close Bologna

(01:00:48):
quesadillas Ooh, I can get downwith that.
I love bologna.
I would just have shreddedcheese and tortillas at all
times and then whatever I wasleft over in my refrigerator
this is mine that went in there.
Heat it up, eat it.
Love bologna yeah, that, and Iwould do, like hamburger helper

(01:01:09):
quesadillas.
So if you ever go to a butchershop and or they have some
italian this, maybe some italianmeats, and they're like, oh,
the mortadella, and themortadella is always one of the
most expensive cuts, it'sbologna.
You're just like just tastebologna next to it it is.
I mean they make it the same way.

(01:01:29):
It's just really fancy bologna.
What is that?
Just a mix of meats yeahmortadella is just really fancy
bologna.
What is that?
Just a mix of meats.
Yeah, mortadella is just reallyfancy bologna.
Don't get me wrong.
Like you can taste thedifference.
It's delicious, it's beautiful,it's delicate, it's all these
things, but at the end of theday, I want.

Dylan (01:01:45):
Yeah, but it used to be like that, did you?

Brad (01:01:48):

The, that's pickle and pimentoloaf.
Is that what you?

Dylan (01:01:53):

Brad (01:01:56):
The one with the cheese stuff.

Dylan (01:01:57):
Was it the ham that had?

Brad (01:01:58):
the cheese in it.
Yes, that's weird.
I never liked it.
My grandpa used to eat pickleand pimento loaf.
Oh yeah, and some people arelike, oh no, absolutely not I
was like what's wrong with?
It.
What about Braunschweiger?
What's that?
Do you ever get the oscar meyer?
The braunschweiger like the.
No, braunschweiger is like pate.

(01:02:18):
It's basically just likechicken liver.
I don't actually know, it mightbe beef, but braunschweiger is
like just a mousse, like a pateit's kind of funny that I don't
like certain things because,like I, growing up was at my
grandma grandpa's a lot and theyate lots of vegetables because

(01:02:41):
they always had a big garden andsardines every single day, like
my grandpa ate a can ofsardines every single day for
lunch and I don't know.

I've had some good sardines inmy life From a can no Okay.

Dylan (01:03:25):
No, it was in Spain, because that's what he was doing
.

Brad (01:03:28):
No, no, no, no, no.
This was not beautiful.
This was like they're feedingme kava, and I was just like mmm

Dylan (01:03:36):

Brad (01:03:37):
No, this was lunch Lunch, the bell was ringing on the
water tower.

Dylan (01:03:42):
You don't drink at lunch.

Brad (01:03:43):
It was lunchtime I mean, yeah, I do, but they didn't.
I gotta save this first beforeI how do I say done, saved a
photos?
Okay, I really don't understandhow you can set all of this up
and then not work on that thing.

(01:04:04):
What thing?
That thing, what do you mean?
Your phone, what do?
I what don't I work on.
What does that mean?
I don't know what you mean.
You know what I don't know.
I don't know what you mean.
You know what I don't like.
What is that?
People are just gonna bewatching me and you talk to each
other.
Hi guys, look at that waitwhat's?
That, that's caviar, that's domperry on.

(01:04:27):
I see that that's crystal we'vegot.
Look at that.
Look at the old absolute bottle.
I don't know what the otherRussian vodka bottle is that's
not old, that's like college.
This is 1989.
Like I said, okay, but this isfrom one of my favorite
photographers in the whole world, slim Aarons Two A's.

(01:04:47):
He doesn't look cold.
That's not Slim Aarons, that'sa different guy.
Yeah, no, no, he's in.
That's definitely mink.
You think that's mink?
Or the fox, that's fox.
So this is saint maritz um 1989.
Slim aarons was a photographerthat, when you think like

(01:05:09):
lifestyle, is rich and famous.
He was a middle class guy thatjust inserted himself in high
society because he was aphotographer and his prints are
unbelievable.

Dylan (01:05:20):
And when you do all my frame, yeah, my office, it's
mostly going to be his but thisphoto to me okay, you're saying
sardines but like look at howaggressive the cat.

Brad (01:05:31):
Like yeah, this is not this is not jestful, like this
isn't a joke.
This is just what the brandingwas back in the 80s, which I
love caviar, caviar.
Okay, so that's beautiful,that's beautiful branding fork
of caviar, yes, probably worthfive thousand dollars.
Okay, tell me about that.
Like, uh, nutritionally, Idon't have no idea what the

(01:05:54):
nutrition is there.
Like a like how many thousands?

Dylan (01:05:57):
of calories.
Fatty, it's gotta be fatty shit, right I mean what is caviar
nutrition?

Brad (01:06:01):
you're right, that's a great call.
I don't know well, like wecan't, we can't get, uh, our
nutrition.
What's the stem cells?
Like we can't do stem cells,why not?
No, we can't do some stem cells, right?
Okay, one tablespoon is 42calories.
Oh, that's not bad.
It's actually four grams offour grams of protein and three

(01:06:22):
grams of fat.
It's not bad, and you kind ofdo one a tablespoon.
You do like a teaspoon at atime.
Yeah, or a teaspoon of butterslike a teaspoon at a time, yeah,
or a teaspoon peanut butter iswhat?
No, it's tablespoon.
Oh, teaspoons, teaspoon andpeanut butter is way worse than
that.

Dylan (01:06:40):
It's not worse.

Brad (01:06:40):
180 calories don't say like worse, it's still good.
But everyone's like I'm eating,so healthy I'm eating, I'm
eating peanut butter.
You do realize that it doesn'ttake very long for you to just
be completely shot on yourcalories for the day.
Um, speaking of calories, isn'ta good photo?
Yeah, do you think he was onozempic?

(01:07:00):
Um, by the big nose, rosycheeks and, uh, pointed ears?
Um, no, do you think he wasgiving a fuck in that photo?
No, the fact that he's sittingthere means that he was giving a
fuck in that photo.
No, the fact that he's sittingthere means that he's wealthy as
fuck and doesn't get food Shit.
And he's sitting in the snow inslacks.

(01:07:21):
I've actually never noticedthat.
I've only noticed the fur.
That's pretty cool.
No, definitely suit pants.

Dylan (01:07:30):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, no, actually you're rightBecause look at the collar.
Yeah, actually, you're right,look at the collar.

Brad (01:07:34):
Yeah, yeah, wow.
You're so perceptive, I know,but this is what I missed.
This is what.
What do you mean?
You weren't alive in 89.
I'm an old cigarette, fuck you.
What's the little tiny bottleright there, the glass?
Is it a glass, or is it a vodkaglass, is it?

(01:07:57):
It could be champagne or vodka.
It almost looks like an upsidedown bottle.
Uh, it's definitely notchampagne, though, because none
of the bottles are open.
All the vodka's open, though.
So that's stoli up on the topright.
Yeah, but look at the twolittle ones up top there.

Dylan (01:08:10):
Yeah, but they're empty, oh, but that's what I'm saying,
that's what I'm saying it's notglass, it's a bottle, right?

Brad (01:08:16):
no, no, no, that, that, no , no.
I'm sitting on top of the bluelid.
Oh, that is, that's a, that's a, but isn't that the same thing
up?

Dylan (01:08:21):
there, those are shooters .

Brad (01:08:22):
Those are vodka shooters, because you're supposed to do
vodka with caviar, so you'resupposed to um, don't tell me
what to do, but does not look.
It's got like a little bit ofuh, wes anderson, but it's overt
it that this is what I get aproblem with is, everyone wants
everything to be so beautiful,and don't get me wrong, I like

(01:08:43):
beautiful things, but that justtells you exactly what it is.
It's caviar.
Branding should be on the nose,on point and good looking
soviet union caviar the bestaround it could have been.

Dylan (01:08:56):
It's gonna be really weird when putin was like we
killed the united ceo.

Brad (01:09:01):
No, no, no, we couldn't get zielinski.
But we can't, they would havepoisoned him you're right there.

Dylan (01:09:09):
That's their mo.

Brad (01:09:09):
That's their MO, that's their thing, we know what you're
up to.
Anyway, I have a bottle ofCristal.
It's upstairs right now Stupid.
I'm not going to drink itthough.
Yeah of course it's a Titanicbottle.
I don't know what that means.
I had two bottles.

(01:09:31):
I had two or three bottles ofCristal in rome's wine cellar
and I drank one, I don'tremember when.
Oh wait, when it flooded.
One didn't flood, what, so onewas like up on a shelf somewhere
yeah and it was fine one wefound at the bottom on the floor
and it was still in the foilcovered in mud and it's still

(01:09:55):
covered in mud.
It's in my fridge, okay, and Idecided when are we drinking?
I'm not gonna open it.
What?
And it's a vintage too, come on, and I don't know if you know
this, but champagne isn't.
What's a vintage for champagne?
What?
Uh, 85, no, no, no.
Well, it'd be.
Yeah, yes, but no, I don't,actually don't even know if 85

(01:10:17):
is a vintage for champagne um uh, a vintage, uh, small batch
here, so champagne is.
So it's such a small region andit's such a um yeah you dummies
.
Champagne is where the grapescome from.
Oh, so we're talking to theaudience yeah, we can do that,
right?

Dylan (01:10:34):
Yeah, fucking idiots.

Brad (01:10:38):
Good, no, that's a dumb one.

Dylan (01:10:40):
Yeah.

Brad (01:10:44):
That's the one you picked.
So what normally happens is youmix multiple years of grapes
together to get champagne, but avintage is all same same year
which is hard for champagne.
For most wine you're gonna belike, oh, it's a 17, it's a 16,
but you'll see dom perry on,you'll see other things without

(01:11:06):
a vintage on a boat, if it has ayear on it.
That's.
That means.
It was like a phenomenal yearside quest, since you described
vintage, because it's not whatwe think it means in terms of
that.
Okay, did you know that genuineleather is the lowest grade of
leather?
I believe that that's whatgenuine means, and then they

(01:11:28):
just rebranded it to make itlook fucking legit.
Yes, I like it so it wasprobably the cow so genuine
leather is actually leather, butit is the lowest grade of
leather it was probably you canget it was probably what the cow
hides, that came from the meatlocker.
I don't know.
I don't know how they came upwith it, but and I don't know

(01:11:49):
what, non-genuine.
Well, there's obviously otherkinds.
So now I feel bad, because whatare we going to do about the
wrapper?
But he wasn't leather.
Genuine has more than onemeaning, it's not just leather.
Why wouldn't he be genuine?

(01:12:11):
Then Genuine, he went genuine,isn't that how you say it?
I don't know, man.
So I I feel like when we, uh, Ifeel like we should, I feel
like we should set a, uh, a highbar, high bar foob, we should

(01:12:33):
set a foo bar so that when wereach this level Of what we
drink, the mud champagne.
Okay, I don't know what thatlevel is Really.

Dylan (01:12:47):
We can think about it.

Brad (01:12:48):
No, it's really Okay.
So it's really weird and I'llgive you.
I'll give you.

Dylan (01:12:51):
So, no, no no, no, camera's got to be better.

Brad (01:12:54):
Your ship's got to be way high.
Yeah, yeah, okay, we can talkabout that, but I want to talk
about the mud bottle.

Dylan (01:12:58):
More than two, I want to talk about the mud bottle.

Brad (01:12:59):
Okay, I am absolutely going to buy a replica of it.
I don't think I'll ever be at apoint in my life.
No, why?
Because I I it's not gonna meananything to anybody else, I
don't it's.
I feel like it's tainted.

(01:13:19):
I feel like if I open it, badshit's gonna happen.

Dylan (01:13:21):
It's like it's like it's like jumanji, you know what I
mean.

Brad (01:13:25):
I feel like it's already.
This is a simulation.
I I need to keep it and I likeit because it means something to
me.
But at the end of the day, Ifeel like if I open it, it's
gonna bring back the bad vibes.
What if?
What if, when you open it, weleave the simulation?
That's a risk I'm willing totake really to leave it closed

(01:13:49):
like it here we really like thisplace.
Lou, I don't know.
You don't know where I've been.
Lou there, there.
There are days that I'm likeleave it, and then there are
days I'm like that's not thatbad.
Um, normally the days thataren't that bad, though, is when
I'm like elbow deep in theairplane.

(01:14:10):
I I'm actually really nervousfor when the airplane's done.

Dylan (01:14:15):
I'm not why because the podcast is gonna thrive.

Brad (01:14:19):
I'm not yeah, okay, uh, I'm not gonna be in it.
You're not legally allowed tobe in it ever.
It needs a couple hours of okay, yeah, ever, why uh, uh, ever
it needs a couple hours of okayEver, why my wife Okay?
Yeah, that's fair.

(01:14:44):
She already told you you're notgoing to be in Dylan's airplane
.
She doesn't understand howclose to death.

Dylan (01:14:50):
I am regularly Okay cool.

Brad (01:14:51):
And so she feels like not being in the airplane is safe
hmm, but she doesn't know aboutthe four-foot hole yeah yeah,
yeah, so that's my miss Ogie,that's her simulation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so did I justdo safe things all the time I

(01:15:13):
think yeah, so you want to leaveher simulation or your
simulation.
Um, I don't know.
Do I want to leave?
Do I want to leave?
If it is, well, let'scontextualize leave If you so,
let's.
Let's say it's like the matrix,and you want to leave, take the

(01:15:34):
pill I saw where they went Wakeup in the pod.
I saw where they went.
It fucking sucked.
They're on a ship, yeah, fuckthat In a sewer, yeah, and
they're out running littlefucking weird electronic
jellyfish.
And then what happens if you doleave?

Dylan (01:15:55):
what are you gonna do yeah?

Brad (01:15:57):
I started watching this.
Uh, we started watching it.
I gotta finish it.
I'm not sure shan's totallyinto it.
It's called dark matter onapple tv and essentially this
guy.
Uh, so it it circles around aquantum theory that they have

(01:16:18):
actually proven.
So the idea that Da Vinci codeno, not.

Dylan (01:16:25):
Da Vinci code.

Brad (01:16:26):
If you're angels and demons, no.

Dylan (01:16:28):
Yeah.

Brad (01:16:28):
It says sir, no, I mean dark matter.
If you're no, it's's, it'sfucking stop it okay.
If you have a quantum particlein a confined space and you do
something to observe theparticle, it changes the

(01:16:50):
properties of the particle, okay, okay.
So you have a box, a box here,yes, and when you look inside
the box, I like this, I want todo this, like this.
Sorry, you see the particleright here, okay, in the upper

(01:17:11):
left, yeah, okay, prior to youlooking in the box, the particle
is what they call in asuperposition, which is it's
everywhere in the side of thebox and it's nowhere inside the
box monolith eyes.

Dylan (01:17:29):
Yes, okay, kind of monolith eyes da vinci was
already Monolith size?

Brad (01:17:31):
Yes, okay, kind of Monolith size.
Da Vinci was already ahead ofit.
So the act of looking changesthe property of the thing, right
?
So this show is based on thisguy literally builds a physical
box and then has somebody createa potion toxin to change your

(01:18:01):
frontal lobe.
A lobotomy?
no, it's like a temporary typething okay, so it's an injection
, it's a temporary thing, andyou are not like, you're
conscious, but you're not ableto register, register anything,
and so it puts your mind in thissuper position, and the super
position looks like an endlesshallway right, and then there's
all these doors in this hallway.
And why?

Dylan (01:18:22):
is it always a?

Brad (01:18:22):
hallway.
Uh, because doors are an easyacronym yeah, but it's not
acronym.
It's not an acronym uh,metaphor a-k-y-j yeah, ass, no,
I'm not gonna do it.
Yeah, you're an idiot.
Yeah, okay, and every door youopen?
metaphor.
That's all you're looking for.
That's what I said.

(01:18:42):
Analogy, no, I said metaphor.
Yeah, use that analogy.
Allegory.
Allegory that's a story.
Behind every door is.
It's basically the multiverse,so it's every possible scenario
of your life that could happen,including things that are really

(01:19:03):
similar and things that areentirely chaotic.
Right, which one do you want tobe in?
What do you want to be in?
What do you want to be?
Do you want to pick one?
So, do you want?
You want, like, a littlespoiler alert?
I haven't finished the show soI can't give you like the whole

(01:19:24):
spoiler.
Yes, so the guy that created thebox like actually created the
box wants to be back in hismom's belly?
No, so he creates the box,right, and he, it's also the
space time continuum where youknow you.
You go into this space and itfeels like so when does Matthew

(01:19:46):
McConaughey interstellarintertwine?
I've never seen that movie yet.
What do you mean?
You've never seen it.
I haven't seen it yet.
Why?
Because I don't know, becausehe's staring out the window like
crying at himself doingsomething.
Is that right?
No, no, okay, so the guy thatcreates the box goes into this
hallway, right, so he's in thehallway and he sees Just a

(01:20:08):
second.
You log right out.
He sees in another door himself, but he has this wife and this
kid that he doesn't have in hisoriginal life.
So you know what he does.
He figures out a way to go intothis world and drug himself and

(01:20:32):
put the drug self into hisworld, and then he inserts
himself into the world that hewants to be in Right.
Wait what?
So?
It's the same guy.
Yeah, so he puts more or less,but so, but it's not.
It's not reality.

Dylan (01:20:47):
There it is.
It is a reality.

Brad (01:20:49):
Why?
Oh, because it's a multiverse.
They're all real, so he canremove, but he has the ability
to move through the multiverse,as he knows Right.
So so he has the knowledge.
Essentially, what he has hasdone is, when he stepped into
this box, he left for like ayear for like a year.

(01:21:14):
So every everybody ends forother people.
Everybody else back here waslike you've been gone a year.
We thought you're dead, likewhen we didn't know how to go
get you.
We don't know what's the?
german show or that time traveldark.
I need to watch that.
Yes, you do.
That's different.
Um, because it's time travel.
This is multi-verse same thing.
No, no, yeah, no, because whenhe goes from this box to this

(01:21:35):
space, he's the same age okaybut when you time travel, you
create infinite possibilitiesbecause you can fuck with it,
because you know things, so itcan go spot it's not infinite,
you don't play this game yeah,this game, if you two, no, no no
two sides same time travel isyou're going from this, this

(01:21:58):
world in this time, to the sameworld at a different time.
This one, you're going from anentirely different world to
another world.
Okay that's it.
The only difference here is youdon't have you don't have input
on what that multiverse lookslike without you over there, but
in time travel, your multiverse, you have input into because

(01:22:23):
you have an infinite amount ofways you can change the future.
Okay, so killing the fuckingbutterfly, brad bradbury, is it
bradbury?
But that's not time travel.
Yes, it is.
They went back to the dinosaurs, stepped on theberry, but
that's not time travel.

Dylan (01:22:36):
Yes, it is.
They went back to the dinosaursand stepped on the butterfly.

Brad (01:22:38):
Okay, but that's not how dark works.
Okay, but so there's differentversions of that.
I don't like it.
You guys aren't.

Dylan (01:22:44):
No, no, no, no, no no.

Brad (01:22:44):
It's not conducive.
Hey, by the way, guys get yourTerribly Unoblivious Cl jack uh
merch at the uh terribly on thebusiness.
That's not a thing it's kennybunk for me it's not a thing,
kenny bunkport, it's a fun time,I mean.
So what he does is he leavesthis box and he studies this guy
like he studies his life for ayear.

(01:23:07):
Why?
So that he knows.
So that when he inserts himselfinto him being that guy, he
knows like he can make morebabies with the wife yes,
without her.

Dylan (01:23:20):
Is she?

Brad (01:23:20):
hot.

Dylan (01:23:21):
Yeah, it's, of course she's hot.
Nobody inserts themselves in a.
Why would?

Brad (01:23:26):
you, I'm just.
This has plot holes all over it.
Who is the it's?
Why do I always forget her name?
I don't know man, oh shit, okay, nevermind, sorry, no.
Oh dude, good, good, no, thatsays road.
Yeah, exactly it's what it'ssupposed to idiot Dark metal.

(01:23:49):

We're just going to bump theheight down so that you think

Mm-hmm, so that's not true.
Oh man, everything is a lie.
Now you're getting back to theMatrix.

Dylan (01:29:28):
Yeah, yeah.

Brad (01:29:31):
I don't fall on this shit.

Dylan (01:30:18):
I You're not an abuser.

Brad (01:30:24):
When you take it, you're just a normally functioning
human being.
Functioning, yeah, unless Ihave like 800 grams of caffeine.
That's my favorite then, duderiding that high every once in a
while it gets a little wildokay okay.

(01:30:45):
So I guess, yeah, I see, okay.
So these are if you do 10 outof these 12 things, it's time to
see a doctor about an aghadiagnosis.
Okay, let's hear it.
I'm not gonna play you thewhole thing.
It because it ends on if you donumber one, send it to me.
I can cast it up here like 100.

(01:31:07):
That is me.
Um, never mind, I'll do it.
Don't do it, man.
And I was.
I was like you know what?
These are fucking a joke.
This, everybody does thesethings.
And then he got to number one.
Wow, I can turn that shit down.
We're going to New York nextweek.
No I got to figure out.

(01:31:28):
Good luck, they're only killingexecs.

Dylan (01:31:31):
Oh, my boss won't pay me more than a fucking meter.

Brad (01:31:33):
You never know he might make a mistake.
Trust me, they never.
Oh yeah, okay, that was me,okay, okay okay, I got to try to
figure out how to.
Oh, he posted this on 911.
That's rude.

Dylan (01:31:55):
System.

Brad (01:31:57):
You don't have anything better to do on 9-11 than post a
TikTok about ADHD.
Oh, that's a little aggressiveSuddenly I don't want to play
this one so insensitive.
Roadcaster.
Pro 2, right, is that us?

Dylan (01:32:09):

.
Oh, you know what I did have tofor today, what'd oh, now I
gotta find it why?

Dylan (01:32:26):
do?
I always say the fact that Ihave tiktok.
If you do 10 out of these 12things, it's time to see a
doctor for an adhd diagnosis.
If you do the last one, it's100% adhd you don't know, a slow
talker to finish their sentenceis excruciatingly painful for
you because you already guessedthe ending in the first few
seconds.

Brad (01:32:46):
You have a spare room for the once tried hobbies.

Dylan (01:32:49):
You have an abandoned Etsy store.
You can't unpack your suitcaseuntil you need it for another
trip Not yet.
If someone turns on the biglight without suitable notice,
you erupt with rage.
You're allergic to verbalinstructions.
You become in a crisis but getoverwhelmed at the thought of
sending an email.
You have a cupboard full ofreusable shopping bags.

(01:33:09):
When you achieve something, youdon't feel any sense of
accomplishment, only a mildsense of relief that it's done.
You hate the settings on yourwindscreen wipers, so you tap
the lever up every time.
You need a single swipe if youhave a minor excitement tonight
you'll be stuck in waiting modeall day, you're excitedly call
but then ignore their attemptsto call you back because the

(01:33:30):
dopamine has left your body, Doyou?

list.
I'll be riding this fuckinghigh like driving and then I'm
like call Dylan, fucking answer.
Okay, I'm going to fucking'mgonna fucking call.
Don't lie to me, I'm notfucking, no, but you're on the
list, yeah okay, yeah, fuck youand and then nobody answers, and

then, inevitably five minuteslater somebody calls me and I'm
like fucking decline, you're alldead to me, you're all fucking
dead dead to me I was like whydo I do that?
I was just excited to call himand then he called me back and I
fucking declined it.
I've been there before too.
Man, I don't know thewindshield light for one.

(01:34:21):

consists of like dropping kidsoff at school and then picking
them up, and so that's a shortwindow, but because you always

And they went to a mexican yeah, every night and he didn't go,
yeah, because he's supposed tobe getting skinnier and like

(01:40:06):
more stressed out, yeah, so hejust didn't go and they're like
we had the best time on set wetook this mexican restaurant
over it was.

Dylan (01:40:14):
It was like the closest restaurant, and so they're in a
town of nothing yeah, they would.

Brad (01:40:18):
So they would go there every single night and eat
mexican and have a great timeand talk and everything, and
they're like we, just we we sentan invite every day and kelly
never went.
He just sat in his trailer andwas like miserable, blow up the
world.
It's very true, but that's whythat's the difference, man,

although if you're matt, damon,you go.
I got mine a long time ago, Idon't need it.
No, what was it?

Dylan (01:40:50):

No.

Brad (01:41:00):
I'm sorry we're just having a bad day.
We are having a bad day.
Where's the Matt Damon one?
Well, the world needs to know.
No, oh sorry, it stops.
Stop touching.

Have any fucking idea how easy.

Dylan (01:41:16):
This is a fucking joke.
It's a fucking joke and I'msorry you can't do this.
I really am, because I wouldn'thave to fucking sit here and
watch you fumble around and fuckit up.

Brad (01:41:23):
Yeah, that's right.
I could just be washing floorsright now instead of doing these
math problems for you in yourfucking scarf.
Um, how old were him and benaffleck when they did that?
They were in their 20s, mid-20s.
No, I don't even know if it wasmid, early 20s, maybe when they
wrote that screenplay.
Yeah, that's well at a bug, heycaseleck.

(01:41:47):
Yeah, how far he's come.
Dude he's always been that good,though I think Casey's always
been that good.
I was reading these Carl Jungquotes.
That's dangerous, that's kindof crazy.

(01:42:08):
You're going to start startquoting Peterson, aren't you?
No, he's a big Carl Jung fan.
Yeah, that's because ofpsychology.

Dylan (01:42:19):
okay well, he's.

Brad (01:42:20):
Carl Jung's fans like, okay, let's go, let's go it's
like the bible let's go Jordan,come on oh even more Jordan.
Yeah, you want to be.
You want to be a saint or youwant to be a sinner, with like
which one you want to follow?
All right, sinner what, what?
no tree, it is said, can grow toheaven unless its roots reach
down to hell.
I don't get it what I have noidea.

(01:42:46):
I'm gonna cut this by way,because there's two different
audio feeds.
You ready to have your mindblown?
Blow my mind.
If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
Why is my mind blown?
Because that's how I feel myentire life.

Dylan (01:42:59):
Okay, cool.

Brad (01:43:02):
Most people get mad at me for that same, but whatever.

Dylan (01:43:05):
Okay.

Brad (01:43:06):
What.
I'm not lonely when I'm withyou.
Does that mean that you'resmarter than me?
Probably, yeah.
Thinking is difficult.
That's why most people judgegood, you want a jaco?

Dylan (01:43:26):
no, we're not that was a good one.

Brad (01:43:28):
Yeah, I'm really sad to see that people are disenchanted
and nihilistic, and depressedand anxious.
Yeah, I'm really sad thisepisode of Terribly Unoblivious
has been brought to you byFlorida Conner.

Dylan (01:43:39):
That's not true, that's not true, it's a fake.

Brad (01:43:42):
It is a fake out, it's.
Who's the one that?
I was really in a mood yeah,you were, I think, when I saved
this.
Talk to me, judy.
Um, so what about young?
Everything that irritates usabout others can lead us to an

(01:44:03):
understanding of ourselves.
Yeah, we can understand what wehate people.
Yeah, but it isn't like thethings that you hate in people,
sometimes the things that youlike most despise in yourself.
This is like what we weretalking about the other day,
which is our, our love language,which is a terrible fucking
thing to say between two dudes.

(01:44:24):
But the thing you create thething you created the most is
the becomes your toxic trait.
Yeah, so your toxic trait isthe opposite.
So I need this in my life, butanytime I get it, I'm going to
reject it, or I'm going tocreate things that are going to
reject.
So, like, if your love languageis uh, what's called a happy

(01:44:46):
language like acts of.
Uh.
What do they say?
The fuck, is this like helpingI?
Say that acts of kindness, notreally kindness, gifts, not
gifts.
Uh, doing things for peopleright, just acts your toxic
trait is like never asking forhelp.

(01:45:07):
Or if your love language isphysical touch, your toxic trait
would be avoidance.
I keep looking over there.
Do it, I don't care, I don'tknow.
You can move it over here.
I need to move it.
You can't move it over there.
You know what's over here, I canget another model Fucking
airplane parts, airplane parts.
You know what's over there I've?
Oh, it's over there, I gotleather gloves.
I don't know why.

(01:45:27):
I think the studio has a dualpurpose, but that's just me.
Those leather gloves are forthat grinder and those sanders
over there, it sure is Okay,because why you don't want to
hit your delicate little fingersand just fucking cut them into
pieces like I do?
I know you've done this before.
But when you put your knuckleinto a belt sander, that's 80

(01:45:48):
grit and you're like, oh, that'smy bone, I don't have any skin
anymore.
No, why would I want more skin?
No, that's it on your knuckleis just skin, that's all you got
.
Oh, did I send you this?
So there's your puke green yeah.

(01:46:11):
It's definitely.
It's not army, army green, butit could definitely pass.
I've there is a.
There is a color code for it.
I don't forget what it's called, but but this is a dumb dumb
green.
This is uh.
What is this?
So this is the rudder I gotinto this little like machismo

(01:46:31):
bro tiktok somehow, and so whatdo you?
Mean?
What do you mean?
Somehow it's, it's all of these, these kind of like well, like
dark cryptic, like angels andskeletons.
Yeah, but that's who you are.

Dylan (01:46:45):
What you're not.

Brad (01:46:47):
Yes, it is no, yes, you're a dark, moody Judy.
Okay, and Shannon is a light.

Dylan (01:46:54):
Okay, well, angel, I'm gonna bring some comedic relief
into it.
Okay, because one of them.
I've already done it becauseyou're gonna steal my thunder no
, I'm gonna just add to it okayit's gonna be like a little car
after the boom.

Brad (01:47:06):
Okay, that Ca-ca.
No, it comes before the boom.
Okay, it's the ca-boom.
So it's one of these things andit's.

Dylan (01:47:15):
There are no points for second place.

Brad (01:47:17):
No, but there are points for about the joke I'm about to
tell.
Okay, let's hear it.
So you and your best buddy arein a post-apocalyptic world.
Wouldn't know what that's like,mike Gonzalez?
Would I Because, in apost-apocalyptic world, wouldn't
know what that's like MikeGonzalez, would I Because you
dropped me from two-man tonight.
Smart choice, yep, yeah, revampyour swing.

Dylan (01:47:36):
Mm-hmm.

Brad (01:47:41):
And you're protecting everyone you love or getting
them out of that way.
And it's just, you know, it'syou two left and the world is
closing in on you.
Top gun no, no, okay.
But like Custer's Last Stand,it was Iceman and Maverick yeah,
but it wasn't like the worldclosing in on them.
Six against two no, okay.

(01:48:04):
It's the F-16s, okay, againstwhat?
A fucking MiG-28?
Nobody's been ever this closebefore.
Whatever, I'm trying to thinkof something.
That's what we're going to doWell, I already know what we're
doing.
One of our episodes is going tobe a breakdown of Tagan Great,

(01:48:27):
what do you mean?
Great, we're going to put abreakdown of tag gun great, what
do you mean?
Great, we're gonna put it rightthere.
Okay, well, fucking, an hour ofit is going to be the decline
of you know who?
Fuck, there's so many people inthere that has decline, think
about it think about it, umcurious, it um curious, not

(01:48:55):
judgment.
Think, braveheart, right there,that was brooklyn 999 like just
forces from all sides, you'regonna end up freedom.
You're gonna end up losing rightand do you?
Have to, though you don't haveto, but the the deal was you.
You look at your buddy.
You know this is it, but you'regoing to go down guns blazing.
What do you say to him Are wetalking about, when we know

(01:49:16):
you're going to go lay a load ina girl?

Dylan (01:49:18):
No no no, no, no, no, okay, no, sorry, it's a little
similar, right?
My answer applies to both.

Brad (01:49:25):
I'm going in my answer applies to both, and by the time
I'm done with this, we're nevergoing to see each other again.
No, not because I'm dead, butbecause I have a baby.
So your line is what's yourgo-to line For having babies?

(01:49:46):
No, maybe it's going gonna hitthe fan and everything changes
after this, most likely becauseyou're dead, or you're gonna
have a baby I think my line'sprobably the same as most people
.
It's like see on the other side.
It's the worst.
Why do you know what mine iswhat?

(01:50:06):
And this is.
This happened before Iconceived both of my boys too,
For Harambe.
Harambe was alive before youconceived both of your boys.

Dylan (01:50:19):
Was he.

Brad (01:50:19):
Yeah, I can't believe you just lied in front of national
television.
It's not that old, no, really.

Dylan (01:50:37):
No, how old?

Brad (01:50:37):
Sorry, no Okay it's not that old, no, really, no, how
old?
Sorry, no, okay, I guaranteeyou phoenix and corbin were both
born.
No, no, yep, harambe, death.
Fuck, god, damn it, just barely.
I'm really sad, shannon.
We need to go for a third.
Fuck God damn it, just barely.
I'm really sad, shannon, weneed to go for a third.

Dylan (01:50:55):
Oh fuck, I need this in my life.
I can't do that.

Brad (01:50:57):
I can't believe you got so bravado on me and you're like
no, I can't believe you'd everdo that.
I didn't think about it interms of like having kids, but
definitely if we were ever in afirefight to end our lives for
Harambe yeah, I don't know, I'vealways just I don't know I love

(01:51:18):
bad decisions.

Dylan (01:51:20):
That's a good line, not like.

Brad (01:51:22):
I would go out with that.
I love bad decisions.
I don't.
I have to qualify the statement.
I don't like bad decisions thatare like have no consequences
on the line.
I don't.
I don't want to be bad for badsake, but when you know, buddies
, reputations, quotas, otherthings are on the line.

Dylan (01:51:42):
I'm in.
It's like, yeah, I'm in.

Brad (01:51:46):
I think that's my last line.
I'm in, I could be easilyinfluenced.
Oh well, I did see.
I did see a really funnyactually this is I don't do you
play halo at all growing up?
Yeah, so at the end growing up.
I was in fucking college.
I was growing up.
You were trying to figure outwhy you were moody and angsty
yeah, that's the best.

(01:52:07):
Dylan was in high school,needler dylan was in high school
needler dylan was in highschool playing halo trying to
pick up chicks have sex.
You weren't in fucking highschool you brad, you were in
brad, was that best?
This reminds me.
This is, this is, this iswedding crashers I was evading.
This is wedding crashers to a t.
When vince vaughn walks in,he's like like well, what's this

(01:52:29):
suicidal book?
No, it's just, it's not for me,it's for a friend.
I was just reading it.
And then I'm reading Don't killyourself books, and you're like
you just said, it wasn't foryou, it's not for me.
That's not the point.
It's not the point Speaking ofno, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

(01:52:56):
no.
Um, yeah, I was going somewhere, but the adhd took over.
That's okay.
Can I replay it?
No, you can't.
You know what I do like, though.
I like going to uh, counselingand talking time management.
When I recently got a tattoo onmy arm as a reminder to not
kill myself how come we don'ttalk about that?

(01:53:24):
okay.
So I'm genuinely curious aboutthis and and this is actually a
really good topic Somedelineating points or some
differentiators, because there'slevels to that point in your
life, Um, I've never been at theum like going to do it phase

(01:53:50):
and I'm not saying I've everbeen, even been close but I've
heard people discuss items ordiscuss this in a way that has
made sense to me, which is I'venever thought about suicide, but
I've started to understand whypeople would do it.

(01:54:11):
So we're like there's aspectrum obviously oh yeah.

Dylan (01:54:14):
You know, there's the phases.

Brad (01:54:16):
And that's so.
Where do you fall, Like those,like we were talking about
what's the most severe caseyou've ever been in, and we
don't need to?
Get into the nitty-gritty andthe details, but how many times
have you gone past the wall?
I can understand why somebodywould want to, because I don't

(01:54:38):
think a lot of people have everbeen to the.
I understand they want to right,I shouldn't say that I
shouldn't qualify it with.
I maybe a lot of people haveand maybe they just don't talk
about it, but that's a reallybecause that's a scary place to
be of.
Like you should not understandwhy somebody wants to take their
life because not hardship,other things.

(01:55:00):
You, you need some.
We've talked about this.
You need some difficulty inyour life.
There is, there is a definitemindset to that, I think, and
the I think it's getting better,and there's things like the
gray matter collective andthings like that, where there
are actually groups now and,like you know, people with

(01:55:24):
depression or suicidaltendencies, or people that have
survived attempts or whatever.
Um are talking and being morepublic about that.
But for a long time, uh, Iremember early on as a painter,
I would do insurance jobs, ohgod, and so it was mostly, like

(01:55:47):
you know, fire, water damage,things like that, and I had to
do one that this kid had killedhimself in his, in his basement
bedroom, and it was like youknow, it was their blood
splatter.

Dylan (01:56:01):
No, no, no it was.

Brad (01:56:02):
It was because it's it's entirely cleaned and, you know,
sanitized and all like somebodyelse has that fucking horrific
job like the.
Well, didn't they make a movieabout that?
The?
It was like amy adams orsomething.
Uh, sunshine cleaning orsomething, something like that.
Okay, uh, that was kind of likethat spotless pine right.

(01:56:22):
No, no, no, that was not it.
Um, but having our already beenin that place and then going
down to this bedroom and it'slike yep, yep, I feel all of
this down here, I was like youput some fucking different

(01:56:45):
lights in here or something likehe could have used some shit
down here, so what?

Dylan (01:56:50):
was it?

Brad (01:56:50):
you know, like a spencer's no, it was just, it was just
like a basement bedroom withlike a little thing you know and
it's it's like there's nooverhead lights and no.
It just felt and and part ofthat is just your- yeah where
you're walking into it knowing,knowing what happened.
Yeah, um, but like dude, Ifucking feel this room.

(01:57:13):
But during that time was there,uh, no, who's the band the
black parade?
I can't remember the fuckingband there was.
I mean, there was no, like therewas nothing in the room Okay,
never, mind, I didn't know if itwas like a Spencer's, but yeah,
people that shop at Spencer'sdon't fucking kill themselves.

(01:57:36):
That's true.

Dylan (01:57:38):
Let's be honest yeah, no they had Zanga before.

Brad (01:57:41):
It was cool, but shout out to Zanga.
During that time, I think, evenlocally, there was kind of a
series of close to here and itwas shocking to other people.
They were like, oh, they camefrom this nice family, they had

(01:58:01):
money and he was an athlete.
Yeah, they probably had morepressure than you did Blah, blah
, blah, no wonder they did it.
More pressure than you did blah, blah, blah, no wonder they did
it.
Um and the, the.
But the response in general isalways I don't.
I just don't understand, like,why anyone would do this.
I'm so it's like can Iunderstand exactly why?

(01:58:23):
He just had the metal?
It hasn't.
It doesn't have anything to dowith their circumstance, like
their living circumstance.
It's how they were feeling andperceiving what was going on and
actually, um, what else we'retalking about?
But it's the.
The newest malcolm gladwellbook it was the.

(01:58:46):
His first one was tipping point.
This is the revenge of thetipping point revenge of the
tipping point and he does aseries on it's like got some red
flames in the next to them yeah, yeah, he does a series on
flames just got some red itmight be flames.
Yeah, um, oh yeah, it's thematch.
That's like inverted right thisthis town and he doesn't name

(01:59:07):
it, but if you, I think, gothrough and do the matchup, it'd
be pretty easy to find, and sothey have like the best school
system and all the houses arehere and anytime you enter and
all the suicides right there.
That's what happened was likeall of a sudden, this suicide
rate started just like goingthrough the roof and it was like

(01:59:30):
one.
And so the tipping point waslike basically one kid did it,
yeah.
And then the rate throughoutthe years just was like yep, yep
, yep, yep, yep, and it was theimmense amount of pressure to

(01:59:51):
perform.
So it was like this is the bestschool system and you can get
the best grades and you can goto the best colleges, and
everything seemed like it waskind of perfect.
So they built an Instapot.
But in these kids' mind it waslike I don't fucking get this
right.
I'm out of here, I'm donebecause everybody else is

(02:00:13):
perfect.
Everybody else is doing thisthing that I'm supposed to be
fucking doing and I'm not doingit and that was it.
So these kids that are funny orathletic or they're smart,
they're doing these thingstrying to fit this mold and in

(02:00:34):
the back of the mind they'rejust like this.
It's not right I'm out.
That's not right.
And so yeah, when it's likeeverybody's saying I don't
understand how anyone could dothat, uh good, no, we're not.

(02:00:54):
Hot takes no, we're not.

Dylan (02:00:56):
You should not really I'm sorry, I shouldn't just start
pushing buttons I can't waittill the lawsuits fall.

Brad (02:01:02):
Oh, they said you should practice fucking lawsuits, but
uh, also, if you learn a littlebit about it.
Yeah, you don't want to be likea male practicing suicide.

Dylan (02:01:18):
No.

Brad (02:01:18):
Yeah, their success rate is really high oh.

Dylan (02:01:22):
What is the male versus?

Brad (02:01:23):
I don't even know what the male versus female rate is.

Dylan (02:01:25):
It's just really high Astronomical.

Brad (02:01:29):
Because, well, males Firearm versus female, right,
it's just really highastronomical.
Yeah, uh, because typical, well, males firearm and females is
like pretty much not everythingelse.

Dylan (02:01:39):
But a lot of other things around the neck.

Brad (02:01:42):
No, no, no I feel like that's like an old gentleman's
thing or something maybe but youknow, like pills or the old you
know Whole bottle ibuprofen,yeah.

Dylan (02:01:58):
I don't feel any pain.

Brad (02:02:03):
How do you feel Like?
Do you think Hemingway actuallyoffed himself?
Do you think that was anaccidental discharge?
Do you think that, like what doyou think I mean way actually
offed himself?
do you think that was an?
He did discharge.
Do you think that?
Like what?
Do you think?
Um, I do you know anythingabout it?

(02:02:23):
You don't get to be that goodof a writer without some major
problems.
100?
I don't think, probably, yeah,so also, they said that he
really lost his shit when Cubagot exiled, essentially when the
embargo on Cuba, because he hada fishing boat down there that

(02:02:44):
he used to just love fishing offof.
You see one of my fuckingpaintings and you tear my whole
life apart.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
We're supposed to be doing,ferris.

Dylan (02:02:55):
Bueller Selfie.

Brad (02:02:56):
Selfie Well that's Goodwill hunting.
Yeah, I know that park scene isunbelievable, though when he is
.

Dylan (02:03:06):
No, it really is.
You're a move kid.

Brad (02:03:09):
Not just that, but what you, what you think about the
world versus what someone elsehas experienced.
Um, I bet you'll quote me asonnet, maybe even shakespeare,
yeah, but I say war all oncemore into the breach, dear
friend, but you've never heldyour friend when he's dying,

(02:03:33):
it's true, yeah.

Dylan (02:03:34):
It's true.

Brad (02:03:39):
He's absolutely right.

Dylan (02:03:40):
There's intelligence.
There's smarts.

Brad (02:03:46):
There's wisdom, it's its own thing, and that uh so, even
though that feeling comes, likethe, the idea of, uh, small
things mattering, you know, likesomething that just kind of

(02:04:07):
breaks you out of that cycle,and it can be, anything.
What cycle are we talking aboutright now?
Sorry, like, like a feeling ofsuicide.
Okay, the gray mattercollective just posted something
like this the other day thatwas just an uncommon interaction
with somebody at you know,whatever could just be like.

(02:04:29):
That person was in a reallydark place and then you just
they bought something from youat a store and you were really
kind to them and it it was likeenough to to break that for at
least that that period of time,you know, and it's like
sometimes you just need enoughof those times before you kind

(02:04:49):
of figure shit out.
Uh, so that was the to find areason part.
So, oh sorry, your mountains,oh yeah because did you draw
that?
it's a nice little drawing I didand I actually you're still not
paying what I'm playing, but hewould have fucking tattooed
that instead of what he did.

Dylan (02:05:09):
But are you talking about the music?

Brad (02:05:11):
it's now, you're right.
What's on your arm?
Shit, yeah, he's like oh, I cando, I can just do this drawing.
I was like, yeah, I mean, Iexpect you to do better than
that.
Yeah, it didn't work out thatway.
But but this all comes fromalbert camu.
I always said came us.

Dylan (02:05:30):
Oh, I see, this is very fucked up.

Brad (02:05:32):
That's fine.
What that's me?

Dylan (02:05:34):
Yeah, you fucked up there .

Brad (02:05:35):
Yeah, I did better this time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't dothat on your skin.
Try and try again.
Um, he always said there wasthere was but one truly serious

(02:05:59):
philosophical problem, and thatis suicide, so his whole
philosophical essence was likeif you can't decide whether or
not you should be alive,everything else is not worth
discussing.
Is this life worth living or not?
That's the main problem.
If it is great, let's move onto the other shit.
If it's not, let's move on tothe other shit.
If it's not conversation overRight.
And for him the suicide was therejection of freedom.

(02:06:20):
So he thought that I mean,there's, there's some
philosophers that talk about,like the, the absurdity of life,
or I don't know if it'sNietzsche that said, like the,
the thrownness.
Like you're thrown into theworld, you have no choice over
who your parents are where youlive you know how you're going
to be raised.
There's just a sense of here youare and then at some point you

(02:06:42):
get to start.
You know making decisions andmoving with that You're in the
trillion other people.

Dylan (02:06:46):
So why is that your?

Brad (02:06:48):
problem, um, or like religion and uh, you know some
people, if I talk to somebodyabout this, they're like, well,
what you know, like what changedyour mind, like the loss of
religion saved my life, becauseat some point I started thinking

(02:07:08):
that this was it, this is it,this is all I got.
So, is it?
Am I sure?
Am I sure that I don't wantthis Because there isn't
anything else?
So am I sure that I don't wantthis?
Be positive, be 100%.
There's nothing on the otherside, or there's this.

(02:07:30):
You're gonna go to nothingeventually.
You want to do it right now.
Velvet curtains or not, carpeton the ceiling, shit or not now
I'm starting to see it I know,now I'm starting
to see, it's gotta be thick.
It's gotta be thick astro turf,and that was it.
It was just like.
What are you gonna choose?
Because if you believe theother way, like you're like,

(02:07:51):
that's it.
It ends this and then thusbegins this whole new life.
I'm thinking about it adifferent way now.
I'm going to try to putthoughts to words that probably
don't make sense.
I think it's words to thoughts,but thoughts to words.

(02:08:11):
I'm going to try to putthoughts to words that probably
don't make sense, I think it'swords to thoughts, but thoughts
to words.
I'm really sad.
I'm always sad.
I'm always angry, I'm alwaysangry.
That's the joke, it's the Hulk.
It's good, it's a good BruceBanner joke.
I like it.

Dylan (02:08:22):
Yeah.

Brad (02:08:23):
Okay, that's my secret, that's my secret, and then we'll
move on.
You don't?
You don't have it.

Dylan (02:08:33):
No, I have it but that's it, that's it great I'm never
gonna hear it.

Brad (02:08:36):
No, it's kind of.
It's kind of like um, it'salmost the, it's almost the
antithesis of um.
Why do people believe in god?
Well, I, I I'd say that youshould believe in god because,
whether he does or doesn't exist, if you fucking when you die

(02:08:57):
and it does exist, and if youdon't believe in him, you go to
hell.

Dylan (02:09:01):
You should your odds say you should probably just believe
in him because when you die.

Brad (02:09:05):
So.

Dylan (02:09:06):
But I'm saying but the odds aren't that great.
But the odds aren't that greatbecause there's like 300 of them
.

Brad (02:09:11):
Well, the elephant one's my favorite.
That's secret, I don't remember.
It's Hindu, okay.
But when you, when you exit theworld early, you're normally
doing it on somebody else'sbehalf, because you have
somebody else, so you'reentrenched in somebody else's

(02:09:33):
own world so much.
And whether that's stigma,that's you need to uphold the
standard, or somebody left you,or I'm not saying that's all of
it, but I feel like that's amajority of it and it's like,
well, I could feel like that's amajority of it and it's like,
well, I could just maybe juststick around and figure it out.

(02:09:54):
Not figured, I don't even haveto figure it out, I can just
stick around and see what thesitcom does next.
And why am I so sad about thesethings right now?
Because I could just do nothingand just sit here and see what
happens.
Yeah, but I think the, I thinkthe final straw usually is there

(02:10:15):
.
There is this level of pain ohright, so there.
So there's this level of pain,but that level of pain comes
from other people or yourperception of what perception
what it is or what it is, andI'm not saying other people are
directly imposing it on you.
It's your, it's your filtersystem saying that this is not
feeling these things.
But if you take everyone elseout of your world, out of the

(02:10:39):
equation, I have a hard timebelieving.
Like if you could truly saynobody else's thoughts matter,
just mine it.
It definitely decreases thenumber.
And there are 100% people thatare so micro in themselves not
in a weird way, just that's howtheir brain works that there's

(02:11:02):
like no, I'm in my own littletragedy.
But I think if you can tellpeople, fuck them all, it's your
sitcom, nobody else's sitcom,nobody thing else matters.
Just live the sitcom out anddon't think about anybody else.
No, because it's.
It's.
Ultimately it is your sitcom,though, like if you think at the
end of the day it's like a sick, like your life is a sitcom,

(02:11:24):
but I think, ultimately, it'seither the immense amount of
pain or the the false feeling ofother people's lives will be
better without oh god me in it.
That's the worst one man andwhat's that, no, no, no.
I'm not saying that, likepeople don't have a right to

(02:11:44):
feel that, because I've feltthat before.
Like well, maybe just easy, butthat is a misconception of
other people's thoughts aboutyou.

Dylan (02:11:54):
Yes, like I haven't met these standards and it's so bad
I don't think it's amisconception.

Brad (02:12:00):
I think it's a misinterpretation, because I
don't know if there's a realdifference that's the point
probably sucks enough to justnot be healthy enough to give
the yeah, but not even that Imean it can shit, the birchwood
fire, it can.
it can be a complete, likeessentially made up scenario

(02:12:21):
where these people are putting,uh, these parameters on
themselves, you know, yeah andbasically superimposing them
from like, my parents expect meto do this and if I don't do
this, it's just, it's just goingto be the end of everything.
That's your brain telling youthat that's not necessarily your

(02:12:43):
parents telling you that.
Oh shit, podcast, are we onhere?

Dylan (02:12:48):
Top charts Go to top charts it's definitely top
charts.

Brad (02:12:52):
Uh, it's definitely not t we're on the t's terror oh,
we're not even character outchurch emergency podcast
terribly and terrifyingly.
Nope, oh, you had to put theun-N in.
I know, man, that's whathappens when you make one of
these every six months.

Dylan (02:13:12):
That's us.

Brad (02:13:13):
Bathroom Antics, diy Flamethrowers and the quest for
what, for balance, makes sense.
It looks way better over there.
Have you ever wondered if ateenager's bathroom antics could
lead to a slippery disaster?
I love Chad GPT.

No.
All right, are we wrapping thisup then?
I don't feel like we got to aconclusion, sorry, yeah, this

(02:13:58):
was definitely a ramblingepisode.
I have no idea how I'm going toedit this.
I've never done a video podcastin my life and YouTube fucking
sucks, by the way.

Dylan (02:14:06):
First time for everything .

Brad (02:14:06):
There are a lot of fucking bitches out there that are like
oh, I'm a youtube expert.
And then you're like oh, wejust tell you about really cool
stuff that we get sponsored by,but we don't actually tell you
how to do it.
It's the worst.
Yeah, that's why I'm buildingan airplane.
So bad fucking easy is it?
Building an airplane's easierthan fucking youtubing.
You got to work a lot.
Yeah, you do.

(02:14:27):
Yeah, when kids are like, whenkids are like I'm going to be a
professional YouTuber, it's likeyou know, a fucking hours that
takes, yeah.

Dylan (02:14:33):
No, you don't have the grit for it.
No, you don't.

Brad (02:14:35):
I'm telling you right now you don't push, you can't do
your fucking homework.

Dylan (02:14:37):
You go, do an eight to five.

Brad (02:14:56):
You can't is a lot of fucking work.
It is a lot of work.
I've met and most of the peoplethat do it that are marginally
good at it, are just super intowhat they're doing and just want
to like.

Dylan (02:15:01):
Hey, I kind of like do like, like this.

Brad (02:15:02):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not saying we're marginally good at
it I'm just saying marginallyterrible we're into it.
That's why we're doing it.
Yeah, we're not here for money,no we have, I could be building
an airplane that'd be worth waymore than this right now.
I could be doing a lot of otherthings, like what brad's doing?
Christmas trees.
I'm not sleeping.
Are you gonna do your etsy tree?
You know, okay, hot takes.

(02:15:22):
I'm fucking over fitted sheets.
Which one, the fitted sheet?
Which one's that one, the onethat goes on the mattress, the
bottom one, yeah.
Fuck those sheets.
Why Hot takes.
They don't stay in place.
Hot takes, so you just sleep onthe mattress.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You have two of the open sheets.

(02:15:44):
Loose sheets, yes, because youknow what the loose sheets don't
do Move.
You know why hot takes.
No elastic, okay I.
You know what rubber bands dowhen you stretch them out.
It's not to go back.
I don't believe it.
That's what the fitted sheetdoes.
Okay, the fitted sheet's likefuck this stretched, okay out

(02:16:06):
bullshit.
I want to go to the middle.
My girlfriend would freak thefuck out if you said that to her
.
What Brittany would be like?
No out, she needs fitted sheetsin her life.
Oh, fitted sheets.
But now the new, like Gen Zers,they don't even do top sheets.
No, top sheets, dude.
I used to sleep on a mattressand a comforter.

Dylan (02:16:30):
By the way, it makes sense, comforter had 12.

Brad (02:16:32):
Comforter had no nothing.
Mattress empty, Just slept onboth of them.

Dylan (02:16:38):
I slept on a futon.

Brad (02:16:39):

Dylan (02:16:41):
I missed that For two years.

Brad (02:16:42):
I missed that.
That's all Like a boonie, like,oh, we've gone full circle.
Big knife, crocodile Dundee.
He had guns, maybe, maybe heknew how to use them, but he
relied on the knife.
Hot takes.
Old ways are the best Skyfall.
God named my house.
I'll do it.
We really went full circle.
