Mike (00:10):
Alright.
So how's everybody doing?
How was your week last week?
Oh, Mike, where was the episodelast week?
If you miss a day, you usuallyput it out the next day.
You know you're a needy bunchof bastards, aren't you all
right?
Well, since I'm going back toone a week, I figured that I'm
gonna start playing some podcastroulette with the release day
(00:31):
one, just so.
This way I can also do my ownexperiments and see which days
work out for me.
So this week I'm gonna startout with monday, and next week
it might be wednesday or it justmight be whatever day I'm
feeling when I can come up withshit to talk about, because it's
not like any of you guys writein to help me out.
So what did I come up with totalk about, since I can't rely
on you guys?
(00:52):
So what's the deal with runningand working out as I do a
really bad Seinfeld impression,but honestly, it's supposed to
be good for you, but when it'sdone incorrectly it just causes
so much suffering.
Like no joke.
I'm going to be 29 come the endof this month, but my back,
shoulders and knees feel likethey're 69.
(01:14):
And not even for the fun reasonFor me.
Bending over sounds like Istepped on a bag of chips, so
that just definitely can't begood.
I definitely got to startincorporating some stretching
into my workout routine.
All I know is that everythingseems to be aging except for my
mentality.
But even that seems one stepcloser to a nursing home.
(01:35):
With every new bad thing thatenters my life, the more shit
that goes wrong.
It's just like bruh can I justcall it a quits?
Right now I wake up and it'slike fuck this, it's cold
outside, we'll just try againtomorrow.
But that's how bad it's gotten,where.
Even the weather is just anexcuse for me to be like.
You know what?
We're just going to try againtomorrow.
(01:57):
Because, like what I've learnedin my 29 years of life come the
end of this month is that everyaction has an equal and opposite
reaction.
Fucking newton and his stupidgenius, because that's not just
true in science, it's also justtrue in life, or at least when
it comes to mine.
Like every time that I try anddo something good, the universe
(02:19):
decides to fuck me and just sayshold the loop, newton, out here
dropping apples.
Meanwhile I'm just dropping jobapplications into the freaking
void.
Every action has an equal andopposite reaction cool.
So I apply to 50 jobs and theonly thing that bounces back is
we regret to inform you.
Like, dude, I'm just out herejust trying to be a productive
(02:41):
member of society and theuniverse is just like nah, you
know what?
Hold my beer.
Here's another existentialcrisis for you instead, and you
know what I love about the jobapplication process when they
reject you is when they also hityou with the.
We'll keep your information onfile, so please feel free to
apply to other job openings.
(03:01):
Bruh, that's like breaking upwith a girl just to ask out her
sister a week later, like yeah,let me set myself up for more
rejection.
Yeah, that sounds like a greatidea.
Thank you so much.
And you know what?
Now I also have trust issues.
You rejected me just to danglethis false hope.
(03:22):
Like, what is this?
A toxic ex who won't let go butkeeps you on the back burner?
Just in case you know, speakingof toxic exes, we talked about
it last week, but Valentine'sDay was last week, and my
question is how many of you arestill together and how many of
you are suddenly focusing onyourselves?
You ever notice how couplesalways flex so hard on
(03:46):
Valentine's Day, but by March.
Half of them are postingcryptic Instagram stories about
choosing peace, and some peoplejust never deserve you.
Like girl.
Two weeks ago you were postingabout soulmates and your twin
flame, and now you're just onemore argument away from keying
his car and filing a restrainingorder.
(04:08):
Love is friggin wild man.
Or?
I also love the dude who goesout and gets a lone wolf tattoo
to post on his insta, and theyalways hit you with the caption
of like I don't need a pack, Iwalk alone.
No, kyle, you just don't haveany real friends because you
make every group chat about yourex.
(04:28):
Fun fact, wolves are a packanimal.
My guy, you got a wolf tattoonot because you're a warrior,
but because you got broken upwith for being an asshole one
too many times.
And now you think beingemotionally unavailable is a
personality trait.
Give me a fucking break.
Real lone wolves are usuallysick or lost, so congratulations
(04:54):
.
Your tattoo is basically abillboard-sized sign that says
Help me, I'm struggling.
Every dude with a lone wolftattoo thinks that he's just the
main character in some grittyaction movie.
Bro, you work at AutoZone andyou cry when your DoorDash order
is wrong, like how tough canyou actually be?
(05:16):
Honestly, though, at this pointI might get a lone wolf tattoo
just to match the energy of myjob applications no back, no
callbacks, just vibes.
Or.
I love it if it's not that it'salways the girl who gets the
breathe and cursive like yeah,no, shit, stacy, what's next?
(05:37):
A tattoo that says blink, drinkwater.
Or my personal favorite, thelive, laugh, love.
Tattoo, like all right, becky,as if you didn't steal that
straight off of a home.
Good signs Like give me a break.
Honestly, I feel like half ofthese tattoos are just Instagram
captions in permanent form,like if you're gonna commit, at
(06:00):
least just go all in, Get it iswhat it is on your forehead and
just embrace the chaos, becausethat's ultimately what life is
right.
It's just controlled chaos andyou just gotta learn how to deal
with it and roll with thepunches.
So I don't know, but as part ofthis year also, since it's just
hard for me to come up withjokes, even though right now my
(06:23):
life just totally feels like agiant one I also feel that it's
time to start going on otheravenues on this pod and also
just being a bit more real, justso I also have more stuff to
talk about, because I mean, forthe most part I'm just sitting
here making fun of generalitiesof life or what I see, and I'm
just kind of being somewhat ofan insensitive asshole as if
(06:44):
I've never gone through my ownpains.
But since I mentioned breakupsat the start, you want to hear
some real shit Like this is wildthe first chick that I ever
said those three magic words ofI love you.
You know what she said.
She just goes oh, I'm sorry,but this was actually just fun
(07:05):
for me.
Oh my God, I can't make thisshit up.
That actually happened.
Like I didn't even know what todo in that situation, cause,
like that stung harder than anywasp.
Let me tell you, I mean, apeanut allergy couldn't even
compare to how hard my throatclosed up in the moment.
(07:27):
Let me tell you, has thathappened to anybody else, guy or
girl?
Whoever is listening to this, Igotta know what your reaction
reaction was, because I knowbeing on the end of that is just
horrific and I just didn't evenknow how to respond in the
moment.
But what I would also love toknow is if you were the one on
(07:50):
the giving end of that.
Honestly, like, let me knowwhat made you say it and why you
said it and how you felt in themoment, because I gotta say,
being on the receiving end ofthat, it fucking sucks.
But I was also young and dumbso I didn't really know how to
handle it.
(08:10):
And now I've been on this earthfor about 29 years, as I've
discussed, and in these 29 years, as we all know, I've also had
to deal with rejection.
I mean, hell, I've gottenrejected from every job
application I've sent in so farand like why it's not, like I
don't have the experience thesecompanies are looking for.
And I've gotten to theinterview process, I've gotten
(08:34):
to the third stage of everyinterview just to still get
rejected.
So I don't know why rejectionhappens, but for every rejection
, whether it's someone thatyou're dating or a job, I feel
like that's just a way ofshowing that that person or that
job maybe wasn't what was bestfor you on the path that you're
(08:55):
meant to take in this game thatwe all call life and I firmly
believe that it's called a game,because no one plays any game,
whether it be a video or boardgame, and just wins every time
like your character's gonna die,you're gonna have some losses.
You're not gonna win everyfreaking time, like nobody's
freaking perfect and life isalso full of wins and losses.
(09:18):
So that's also why I considerit a game, or even if it's like
in sports, like you couldpractice a sport until your
knees are weak or you can run sohard that you collapse on the
field from being out of breath,but it'll always find a way to
knock you down because maybe youaren't tall enough to go pro
which, as a guy, seems to be thenature of the dating game.
(09:39):
If you aren't six foot, as seenon Tinder, or like maybe you
suffer an injury that you justcan't come back from.
But even for the ones that itdoes work out for, and if you do
make the pros Like not everyplayer makes it into the hall of
fame, or even people who getdivorced Like I'm saying this
(10:01):
never having been married, neverhaving to go through a divorce,
but I've gone throughrelationships that haven't
worked out and it's just like,no matter how hard you work at
it, if the other person isn't asinvested as you, it's just
never going to go anywhere.
So I don't know, no matter whathappens, there's always
(10:22):
something.
But as cliche and as dumb asthis is going to sound, it
really is a matter of how youtake that pain from whatever
life throws at you and how youdeal with it.
Like, do you want to harbor onit and say, well, it was me and
be that person for the rest ofyour life and just compare
yourself to others and never besatisfied with what life has
(10:43):
given you?
Like look at dave mustaine.
That guy got kicked out ofmetallica and went on to form
one of the biggest metal bandsin the world with megadeth.
But instead of just enjoyingthat and the success that he had
, he spent decades, decades,obsessing over Metallica's
success Like a dude stillstalking his ex's Instagram
(11:06):
stories.
Like, don't be like Dave andspend the next 40 years
comparing yourself to the onethat got away.
I really feel like you justgotta be happy for what you
build instead of being mad atwhat you lost.
Like you just learn from yourmistakes, you learn from what
you could have done better andyou take into account for that
in the next venture of your lifeor relationship and you just be
(11:28):
happy for the success that youattain in it.
Like I don't know again.
As cliche and as dumb as this isgoing to sound too, pain is
truly the worst feeling inregard to any bad outcome that
happens in your life, whetheryou lose a loved one, a job,
whatever it is that goes on inyour life.
But it's also, I think, trulynecessary when it comes to
(11:52):
building the character ofyourself and what you want out
of future situations that youfind yourself in.
And I don't think it's justbecause of that now you got to
deal with something that youdidn't expect.
I also think it just comes fromthe sudden anxiety that's
driven from like what's going tohappen now that this part of my
life is over?
(12:12):
And I'm not talking physicalpain like you break your leg
doing something dumb like drunkparkour, because gravity is just
a suggestion.
That's just your own reward fordoing something fucking stupid.
What I'm specifically talkingabout here is just emotional
pain Like I don't know.
In a quick Google search, I dida little research and I found
(12:35):
out that 30 to 40% of breakupsend up with people going back to
their ex.
But I have a huge question ofis that based on comfort or is
that just based on circumstance,because there's always a reason
as to why things end right.
So, yeah, rejection sucks,whether it's from jobs, whether
(12:57):
it's from relationships orwhether it's not being able to
order a fucking McFlurry becausethe ice cream machine is broken
all of a sudden.
But, like I said earlier, everyaction has an equal and
opposite reaction.
So maybe the rejection isn't ano and this is going to be my
Catholicism coming out, but Ifeel like it's maybe just God
(13:17):
saying, nah, you know what, Igot something better in mind for
you, so you just got to chill.
But that's the hard part, right, it's chilling, it's the
waiting, it's the seeing whatGod has in store for you, and
it's just a matter of trusting.
I mean, it's kind of likeplacing an Amazon order without
getting the tracking info, likeyou know it's coming, but when
(13:40):
you have no clue.
It'll get there w hen itfucking gets there.
You just gotta wake up every dayhoping today's the day that
your blessings get delivered andnot another.
We regret to inform you, butyou know what the great thing is
.
Pain is only temporary.
But you know what the greatthing is.
Pain is only temporary.
The growth is what's permanent.
(14:01):
God's not out there justthrowing L's at you for fun.
If life's knocking you down,maybe it's just because He's
setting you up for somethingbigger.
You just gotta stop fightingthe process, like you wouldn't
yell at your grandma while she'scooking and being like, hey,
hurry up with that bread, I'mhungry?
Bro, you got to let the doughrise, my guy.
(14:21):
But that's also not to say like,don't keep trying to find that
path, because at a certain pointyou also need to put in your
own work to a degree too.
And I don't know if nothingelse, if you keep getting
rejected, just remember likeJesus got rejected too.
Dude had 12 followers, oneunfollowed, one straight up
(14:41):
snitched.
The rest all ghosted him whenthings got tough, yet He still
completed his mission.
So if you're getting rejectedleft and right, maybe you're
just in good company.
I don't know.
Moral of the story rejectionisn't the end, it's just a
redirection.
And if you're struggling, youjust got to pray on it, you got
(15:02):
to work on it and you got to belike Dory from Finding Nemo.
You just got to keep swimming.
Or at the worst case, you justgo and get yourself a brief
tattoo and cursive and call it aday, because that seems to be
the move.
But all right, guys, I thinkthat's it for this week, or is
it?
I don't know who knows when thenext episode is going to drop
(15:23):
Could be Monday, could beWednesday, could be in the
middle of your grandma's bingonight, I don't fucking know.
But that's the thrill ofpodcast roulette TM.
Patent pending Keeps you onyour toes and you know, it also
keeps me from committing to aschedule, so I feel like
everybody wins.
But hey, if you liked theepisode, tell a friend, share it
, like it, subscribe, send it toyour ex, with no context,
(15:45):
whatever works, I don't fuckingcare.
Actually, make sure that you dosubscribe to it, because if you
do like the episodes, I don'tknow when these episodes are
going to drop.
So you might want to do that.
But you can find me onInstagram and TikTok, at the
LNBE Podcast, and if you guysactually want to help me out and
come up with some shit to talkabout instead of making me do
all the work, you could write into lnbemedia at gmailcom.
(16:08):
But we also both know thatthat's not happening.
So anyways, thank you forlistening, pray on it, work on
it, keep moving forward.
Oh, and if you're getting atattoo this week, maybe think
twice about going full lone wolf.
All right, guys, I will catchyou whenever the next one drops.
Have a great week.
Alright.
So how's everybody doing?
How was your week last week?
Oh, Mike, where was the episodelast week?
If you miss a day, you usuallyput it out the next day.
You know you're a needy bunchof bastards, aren't you all
right?
Well, since I'm going back toone a week, I figured that I'm
gonna start playing some podcastroulette with the release day
(00:31):

it might be wednesday or it justmight be whatever day I'm

So what did I come up with totalk about, since I can't rely

(00:52):
So what's the deal with runningand working out as I do a
really bad Seinfeld impression,but honestly, it's supposed to

of future situations that youfind yourself in.
And I don't think it's justbecause of that now you got to
deal with something that youdidn't expect.
I also think it just comes fromthe sudden anxiety that's
driven from like what's going tohappen now that this part of my
life is over?
(12:12):
And I'm not talking physicalpain like you break your leg
doing something dumb like drunkparkour, because gravity is just
a suggestion.
That's just your own reward fordoing something fucking stupid.
What I'm specifically talkingabout here is just emotional
pain Like I don't know.
In a quick Google search, I dida little research and I found
(12:35):
out that 30 to 40% of breakupsend up with people going back to
their ex.
But I have a huge question ofis that based on comfort or is
that just based on circumstance,because there's always a reason
as to why things end right.
So, yeah, rejection sucks,whether it's from jobs, whether
(12:57):
it's from relationships orwhether it's not being able to
order a fucking McFlurry becausethe ice cream machine is broken
all of a sudden.
But, like I said earlier, everyaction has an equal and
opposite reaction.
So maybe the rejection isn't ano and this is going to be my
Catholicism coming out, but Ifeel like it's maybe just God
(13:17):
saying, nah, you know what, Igot something better in mind for
you, so you just got to chill.
But that's the hard part, right, it's chilling, it's the
waiting, it's the seeing whatGod has in store for you, and
it's just a matter of trusting.
I mean, it's kind of likeplacing an Amazon order without
getting the tracking info, likeyou know it's coming, but when
(13:40):
you have no clue.
It'll get there w hen itfucking gets there.
You just gotta wake up every dayhoping today's the day that
your blessings get delivered andnot another.
We regret to inform you, butyou know what the great thing is
.
Pain is only temporary.
But you know what the greatthing is.
Pain is only temporary.
The growth is what's permanent.
(14:01):
God's not out there justthrowing L's at you for fun.
If life's knocking you down,maybe it's just because He's
setting you up for somethingbigger.
You just gotta stop fightingthe process, like you wouldn't
yell at your grandma while she'scooking and being like, hey,
hurry up with that bread, I'mhungry?
Bro, you got to let the doughrise, my guy.
(14:21):
But that's also not to say like,don't keep trying to find that
path, because at a certain pointyou also need to put in your
own work to a degree too.
And I don't know if nothingelse, if you keep getting
rejected, just remember likeJesus got rejected too.
Dude had 12 followers, oneunfollowed, one straight up
(14:41):
snitched.
The rest all ghosted him whenthings got tough, yet He still
completed his mission.
So if you're getting rejectedleft and right, maybe you're
just in good company.
I don't know.
Moral of the story rejectionisn't the end, it's just a
redirection.
And if you're struggling, youjust got to pray on it, you got
(15:02):
to work on it and you got to belike Dory from Finding Nemo.
You just got to keep swimming.
Or at the worst case, you justgo and get yourself a brief
tattoo and cursive and call it aday, because that seems to be
the move.
But all right, guys, I thinkthat's it for this week, or is
it?
I don't know who knows when thenext episode is going to drop
(15:23):
Could be Monday, could beWednesday, could be in the
middle of your grandma's bingonight, I don't fucking know.
But that's the thrill ofpodcast roulette TM.
Patent pending Keeps you onyour toes and you know, it also
keeps me from committing to aschedule, so I feel like
everybody wins.
But hey, if you liked theepisode, tell a friend, share it
, like it, subscribe, send it toyour ex, with no context,
(15:45):
whatever works, I don't fuckingcare.
Actually, make sure that you dosubscribe to it, because if you
do like the episodes, I don'tknow when these episodes are
going to drop.
So you might want to do that.
But you can find me onInstagram and TikTok, at the
LNBE Podcast, and if you guysactually want to help me out and
come up with some shit to talkabout instead of making me do
all the work, you could write into lnbemedia at gmailcom.
(16:08):
But we also both know thatthat's not happening.
So anyways, thank you forlistening, pray on it, work on
it, keep moving forward.
Oh, and if you're getting atattoo this week, maybe think
twice about going full lone wolf.
All right, guys, I will catchyou whenever the next one drops.
Have a great week.
