>> Chip (00:05):
Throw it to you. Do you want me to?

>> Teacup (00:06):
Hell no. Get up, song.

>> Producer (00:07):
I'm gonna try to find him on facebook, so just give me, give me one
sec.

>> Chip (00:11):
Okay?

Talk amongst yourselves. Talk amongst
yourselves.

>> Chip (00:19):
So I got to wash a boat today. That was
fun. I got back from lunch. Oh,
yeah. They were like, hey, nobody else is here, so can you wash a boat?
It's like, sure. So I spent half an hour washing it,
which now they, like, want me to wash boats because I did a
good job at it. I shouldn't
be washing boats. They actually, the management got mad at the guys

(00:39):
who asked me to do it.

>> Teacup (00:40):
Yeah, because you're supposed to. You're supposed to be. You're supposed
to be logging shit.

>> Chip (00:45):
I am. I'm supposed to be counting stuff and doing computer work.
But it was nice to be outside. Dude,
what's great is right after I finish, like, as I was finishing
up, when were. Started raining. Yeah, yeah.

>> Teacup (00:55):
I was gonna say, when were you doing this?

>> Chip (00:57):
Like, the. It started to sprinkle
right when I was like, turning the hose off. And I was like,
oh, is it gonna rain? And I looked at the weather, I was like,
nah, I don't think so. The moment I go inside, I
turn around and it's starting to actually rain crap.
But you know what? The customer had to come pick it up in the rain.
So I don't think he was really caring about how it looked. It was

(01:18):
fun. I got to wash the boat and be outside.

>> Teacup (01:20):
What kind of boat was it?

>> Chip (01:22):
Shear water with a single M Merc
250 on it, I think.

>> Teacup (01:26):
How big?

>> Chip (01:28):
I want to say like 28,
26, something like that. center console,
blue hull, really pretty.

>> Teacup (01:35):
You did a real good job. Huh? Huh? Yeah, you know, it's cool,
man. I go pick up the boat tomorrow.

>> Chip (01:40):
Nice.

>> Teacup (01:41):
And, it's got to get cleaned.

>> Chip (01:43):
I can do that.

>> Teacup (01:45):
I know you can. I can. Heard all about it. Loki, I
literally just heard how great you were at
washing boats
for.

>> Chip (01:54):
For the low, low price of a monster
energy and a cliff bar. I'll do it.

>> Teacup (01:59):
Man, you're such a cheap date.

>> Chip (02:02):
What? Okay, well, first is like, literally, this is the expensive
part.

>> Teacup (02:05):
This is gonna abuse you.

>> Chip (02:07):
That's fine.

>> Teacup (02:09):
So I gotta do that tomorrow.

>> Chip (02:12):
I also know which boat soap is best too. Cuz I.
Cuz when I worked at west marine, I got to try all
the stuff because people would come in.

>> Teacup (02:19):
What do you use?

>> Chip (02:20):
Or pine. It's my favorite one. It kind of smells like
bougie pine salt. And it does a really good
job. And they have a boat wash, which
is like for the, they have the boat wash then they have the wash.

>> Teacup (02:31):
And wax because there is
literal vegetation growing
on this boat.

>> Chip (02:37):
Oh. Now for that we need,

>> Teacup (02:39):
I was gonna take it over to the car wash and just
get that pressure on.

>> Chip (02:42):
Is it gonna fit in it?

>> Teacup (02:44):
Yeah, it's a. Fits a fucking boat, man.
So small. It's like a 18 foot. That's
nothing.

>> Chip (02:51):
I feel like you're gonna get some there. There's gonna be someone
that's gonna look out and they're like, I don't know if that can go in there.

>> Teacup (02:58):
Why not?

>> Chip (02:58):
Did you google it? Like, can you put a boat through a car wash?
I feel like that's not gonna be good for it either.

>> Teacup (03:03):
No, not like a drive through car wash.
Oh, that's, I was like, I.

>> Chip (03:07):
Don'T think you can do that.

>> Teacup (03:09):
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>> Chip (03:13):
They called him
Teacup.

Listen here.

>> Teacup (03:23):
Cause I got some shit to tell you.

>> Chip (03:27):
now he's telling the boys
what he knows. Wait,
what?
This is Teacup talks.

You're good.

>> Teacup (03:48):
I took my youngest daughter to the doctor.
And you know, I talked to
everybody. So when I went in there,
you know, you gotta go and register and make sure you checked in
and all that.
I was talking to the ladies at the desk there,
Ariel and Barbie, and
I told, I asked them, I said, you listen to the show?

(04:10):
Because I told them I was gonna come. I told the, those are the
people that I told that like, listen, if you don't listen, I'll
know and I'll be back. I come back
here and I showed and sure
shit showed up today. And I'm like, yo, do you
listen to my show? And they're like, no, it's out. And I'm like, you
motherfuckers.

>> Chip (04:28):
Come on, you motherfuckers. They're gonna feel
terrible when they listen to this now.

>> Teacup (04:34):
you know, as they should. As they should.

Maybe by the time they listen, your merch will be ready.

>> Chip (04:39):
Oh yeah.

>> Teacup (04:41):
But I don't think they can wear it at the doctor's office. They probably wouldn't like
them repping me instead of them. Although
I would say that I'm probably, you know, I'm
probably more fun.

>> Chip (04:52):
Dude, you walk in a patient's room, no scrubs, but the
shirt, they'll be.

>> Teacup (04:56):
Like, all of a sudden
his scrubs are my shirt.
That's, that would be so ridiculous.

>> Chip (05:05):
I'd be kind of, that'd be kind of cool, though.
M could you, like. Could you get the doctor's office? Okay.
Like, for a. Obviously, for an
advertising fee, if they all wore it. Cause
it's not like a billboard, Right, where people are just gonna, like, drive by. You
have to look like they come in the room. You're gonna be like, that's not what I'm saying.

>> Teacup (05:22):
All right, so listen. I went to an
ent because I have a deviated septum and all this bullshit,
and I had to get it looked at. So.
And I told him about the show and I said, you better listen. So now I'm
gonna ask him if he
changes. Cause him and I have a good
rapport. What if you wore a hat? I would feel
like, you know, put.

>> Chip (05:43):
The hat on and then take it off.

>> Teacup (05:44):
No, no, no. This is a respectable place. This is a
doctor's office. I don't wear a hat in a doctor's office. What
the hell is wrong?

>> Chip (05:51):
I would not have heard my next idea then. Cowboy hats
with it on the front.

>> Teacup (05:54):
No. Fuck no.

>> Chip (05:55):
That'd be so sick.

>> Teacup (05:56):
I'm not a cowboy.

>> Chip (05:58):
Yeah, but it'd be cool.

>> Teacup (06:00):
I'm not a cowboy.

That's why he's not in charge of merchandise.

>> Teacup (06:04):
Thank you.

>> Chip (06:05):
Look, I had. I had the merch idea and I
was like, okay, that's it. That's sounds cool. T
shirts and ball caps. That's about it.

>> Teacup (06:12):
Listen, cowboys are doing their own thing. They don't need
to.

>> Chip (06:15):
I'd wear it.

>> Teacup (06:17):
They don't need to wear my fucking hat with like,
like a cowboy hat with my low. They got their own thing going.
They're doing good.

>> Chip (06:25):
Wait, wait, but what about. I, heard there
was a picture of you in a speedo.

>> Teacup (06:30):
Of course there is.

>> Chip (06:31):
So how about that picture on there? That's like a. That's a ram
ranch style thing right there.
That would sell.

>> Teacup (06:38):
I don't know if. I don't know if people want to.

>> Chip (06:40):
Guarantee you that would.

>> Teacup (06:47):
Just a picture of me. Oh, my
God. Like this on the
ass.

On that note, can we talk about the next ten rules for
gentlemen?

>> Teacup (06:58):
You know, I. You know, if you go to Europe, I. And those
are all gentlemen in Europe, speedos are the. Are the
way to sunbathe.

>> Chip (07:07):
I would never even.

Europe gets some things wrong.

>> Teacup (07:10):
I don't know. I thought I looked pretty good in Speedo,
but, you know, I'm biased.

>> Chip (07:16):
I refuse to comment on this subject
anymore.

It'll be on the YouTube channel. We should give
it just to our Patreon members.

>> Teacup (07:24):
Oh, no, just a picture of me in this.

>> Chip (07:28):
It's all fun and games until someone leaks it, and then you can just
google Teacup and speedo,
and that'll. It'll be all over the place.

I love that idea.

>> Chip (07:36):
I gotta get when he does, like.

>> Teacup (07:38):
News interviews, like, a bunch of different speedos.
Done. I like speedos. What? I don't understand what the problem is.

I couldn't have planned this any better. The 11th rule is
dress well, no matter what the occasion.

>> Chip (07:50):
Okay.

>> Teacup (07:51):
I want.

>> Chip (07:51):
I have an opinion on that.

>> Teacup (07:52):
So stupid. All right, no, let's do
this.

>> Chip (07:56):
Don't dress well all the time, bro. If you're out
working, right? If you're gonna be out in the sun getting met, I'm not
gonna dress well. I'm not gonna ruin my nice
clothes, you know?

>> Teacup (08:06):
So, you know, if. If you watch, like, old. Old movies
or old clips of, like, you know,
from, like, the early
20th century.

>> Chip (08:16):
Mm

>> Teacup (08:16):
And you see every. Everybody. It doesn't matter where you went.
If you worked in a coal mine, you wore slacks and a button
down shirt. And if you. You know, I mean,
like.

>> Chip (08:25):
I mean, yeah, kind of. But they also like
slacks and the button down shirt were.
They had specific ones for working, so they weren't like, your nice
clothes. To us, their nice clothes, but to them, that was everything they
had.

>> Teacup (08:37):
House. How sad that, you know, coal
miners slacks and button down shirts are nice
clothes to us.
You know, those are work clothes, man. But
I.

So what if we go back to it?

>> Teacup (08:52):
No, no.

>> Chip (08:54):
You guys. How hot it is outside.

>> Teacup (08:56):
Yeah, we live in.

>> Chip (08:57):
When I was washing that boat, you know. You know what my car was reading?
104.

>> Teacup (09:01):
We live in southwest Florida.

>> Chip (09:03):
Yeah, 104 and on and on.
Weatherbug.

>> Teacup (09:06):
It was linen wrinkles.

>> Chip (09:08):
God.

>> Teacup (09:08):
One.

>> Chip (09:09):
See, also, if it gets wet still, like,
it's gonna get heavy.

>> Teacup (09:12):
Oh, it's gonna get wet.

>> Chip (09:14):
It doesn't matter.

>> Teacup (09:15):
Like, you want to see his pants falling down while he's
hosing down a boat.

>> Chip (09:19):
They were. It was bad.

>> Teacup (09:22):
Is that what everybody wants to see?

But it looks so nice.

>> Chip (09:28):
Do you care if you come up to get your
boat fixed? Right? Are you gonna look at these guys and be like,
yeah, this guy in the slacks and the
shirt? That's the guy. I won't fix my boat.

>> Teacup (09:38):
Let me ask you something. Do you have
any linen clothing?

Yes, he does. He was raised well.

>> Chip (09:45):
Yeah, I have one linen outfit of. Now, I
used to have more, but I don't anymore.

>> Teacup (09:50):
So I do like to wear linen
because it does. It breathes. It's real nice.
But it does collect moisture.

It does.

>> Chip (09:58):
Also if I stain it with oil.

>> Teacup (10:00):
Or something, like, number two, that
linen is like, hey, you
asked that young lady that you were talking about in the
previous episode. Hey, you want to go out?
You wear. I got linen shorts. I got
linen shirts.

>> Chip (10:15):
Linen shorts. Oh, yeah, I never
had any of that. I had the linen pants and the linen
shirt.

And the linen blazer.

>> Chip (10:23):
And the blazer. I forgot about that part. Yeah, I still have
that.

>> Teacup (10:26):
Yeah, man.

>> Chip (10:27):
Which, actually, that's my favorite two lasers, and that's my favorite one.

>> Teacup (10:30):
You know, when I. When I'm talking to people about stuff like this,
like, you know, and I used to work
in corporate environments,
and I would. I would always tell people, dress
for the job you want, not the job you have.
Dress for the job you want, not the job you have,
you know, because, like you just
said, you're cleaning the boat. Obviously, you don't

(10:52):
want to wear, you know, your best outfit for that.
Yeah, but do you want to be cleaning the boat, or
do you want to be.

>> Chip (10:59):
I want to be running the boat. I want to be,
like, on.

>> Teacup (11:03):
Listen, man, you drive me. You drive me crazy. Like, right now,
you're doing a good job. You're. You're. You're
taking care of the stock room. You're making sure everything's logged. All the
logistics is on you. That is a good position to be
in, and I'm good at it.

You're a manager.

>> Teacup (11:17):
Okay, so I'm not a manager.

>> Chip (11:19):
So I don't lead anybody. We had. This was very
specific in why I'm not a parts manager. I'm a parts
administrator. There's a difference. A parts manager
has a group of people in the
parts department that they manage. Right. And that's part of their
job. I'm a parts administrator. I run the whole thing on my
own.

>> Teacup (11:36):
You are department. You are a department
of one. Stop selling yourself.

>> Chip (11:41):
I did that at 17. Do anything.

>> Teacup (11:44):
Listen, if you walk in there and
you look professional, they're not gonna ask you to do the boat
anymore now.

>> Chip (11:51):
But I wanted to.

>> Teacup (11:52):
Oh, Wow.

>> Chip (11:53):
It was fun.

>> Teacup (11:54):
I don't know.

>> Chip (11:55):
You know, dude, when they. They actually.

>> Teacup (11:57):
And this is the craziest shit to me
sometimes. We will be in a good position
in Life, and we will fuck it up
for something that we just like to do.

>> Chip (12:10):
Well, it's also, you could be in a good place,
but there's always room to be somewhere better,
right? So, like, you know, you're always trying to work your way up.

>> Teacup (12:18):
Yeah, but being on the boat isn't getting you there.
Coming in with a nice shirt and pants and nice shoes on.
You wearing shit kickers here? Did you wear shit kickers? You
did? You wore them shit kickers on the boat, didn't you?

>> Chip (12:30):
No, I took them off.

>> Teacup (12:31):
Okay.

>> Chip (12:32):
Actually, no, I was wearing my. Hey, dudes. My dirty, hey, dudes that I took
off.

>> Teacup (12:35):
That's better for the boat.

>> Chip (12:37):
Well, what's funny is I was wearing the jeans, so I took them off and then
rolled the jeans up. And, Yeah, they ever.
A couple of people walked by, they were like, well,
actually, our front desk lady, she's walking by and she goes, man,
you look like you're going clam picking. It's like what
she had. She had to explain it to me.
And then another guy goes by and he's like, geez,

(12:57):
hillbilly, who got you cleaning the boat? I was like,
all I did was roll up my jeans. Like,
I feel like it wasn't that big a deal. They weren't.

Imagine if you had been in linen shorts.

>> Teacup (13:09):
Ooh, nice white linen shorts. Yeah, they getting all
wet.

>> Chip (13:13):
They get cleaner all over them. They turn yellow
or green.

But nobody would have called you hillbilly.

>> Teacup (13:20):
That's true.

>> Chip (13:21):
It would have been nice.

>> Teacup (13:22):
I don't know. I think he likes being.
What's the next one? All right, listen. This is going to be the last
part of this dress for the job you want, not the job you
have. If there's something better for you,
like, go for it. Don't clean fucking
boats. If you can be managing
inside.

Does this go too, though, for when you're not at work? Like, you're just
going, no, when?

>> Teacup (13:44):
Listen, this is.

This says dress well, no matter
what the occasion.

>> Teacup (13:51):
No, I don't. I don't agree with that. Because, like, what's.

>> Chip (13:54):
Now just wear a full tux. Going into Walmart at three in the
morning to go get some Advil.

We should do that, see what happens.

>> Chip (14:01):
They're mugs.

>> Teacup (14:02):
You're gonna get. Baker acted like.
Like you look like a fucking animal.

We should try it. It'd be fun.

>> Teacup (14:09):
Send him.

Because you've seen those videos on TikTok where, like, a
woman dresses really nicely and she just walks down the
street and all the people are looking at her and she's
just in, like, an.

>> Teacup (14:19):
Evening gown or something?

No, like, just in a beautiful skirt and a nice silk
blouse. And she's got a beautiful, you know, purse with her, and her
hair is done up in a french twist.

>> Teacup (14:28):
There are occasions where I'm walking around and
I want to be the gray man. And I'm gonna be honest with you.
No. The gray man is unseen. Oh. I'm gonna
be blended in.

>> Chip (14:37):
The crowd nobody sees.

>> Teacup (14:38):
Times are more often than nothing.

But wouldn't it imagine if you walked around? You live in a high
end town.

>> Teacup (14:45):
I do.

This is a beach town. A high end beach town. Imagine if
you walked around in a linen suit all the time.
Guys do differently. You would be treated if you did
that.

>> Teacup (14:55):
Yeah, but I have a good time. I wear basketball
shorts. I wear board shorts. Sometimes I wear. You know, I
wear those little, tiny baby shorts. We have a good time no matter what we're
wearing.

Okay. Rule twelve, always
carry cash a little bit.

>> Teacup (15:09):
It's helpful.

>> Chip (15:10):
I don't. I don't know. I carry. I don't
carry cash. I had a dollar today that I actually,
I gave to a six year old.

>> Teacup (15:18):
Nice. See ya. Always carry cash.

Was this the six year old that did the thing?

>> Chip (15:22):
Well, it was the six year old and his brother. They had made these. He the one
that popsicles, and they look really good.
Yeah, he's the best brother. Yeah.

And you gave him money?

>> Chip (15:32):
Yeah.

>> Teacup (15:33):
Piss.

>> Chip (15:33):
Like, don't get rewarded, man.

>> Teacup (15:35):
You don't reward.

>> Chip (15:37):
But I.

>> Teacup (15:38):
What the hell is wrong with you? This was a
teachable moment. You could have pulled that dollar out of your pocket, and you
could have said, hey, man, remember the other day when you
licked piss? You see this kid right here? He
didn't look piss. He's gonna get this dollar.

>> Chip (15:52):
Well, no, they were splitting it because they were both.
Because they were saving up to get a PlayStation. And you know
what? I respect the hustle, okay? And
they were selling popsicles.

>> Teacup (16:02):
No, you didn't.

>> Chip (16:03):
They made. They were made out of Gatorade. They were really good. I'm not
gonna lie.

>> Teacup (16:06):
Did something good. I saw this dude driving down the street today near my house, and
he was. He was on his motorcycle, and he's getting
closer. And his. Like, I could see, you know, as he got closer,
that his son was on the front with his little helmet on. This
kid. It was, It was. My
dad used to pick me up, take me on his motorcycle when I was a
little kid. I thought it was fun.

(16:27):
It was a nice moment. Like, kind of like what you did with these little boys,
helping them get a PlayStation.

>> Chip (16:31):
Well, and, like, I remember when I.

>> Teacup (16:33):
Was $0.50 apiece, like, I don't know.

>> Chip (16:35):
I remember when I was a kid, me and a friend did a, he had
an orange tree in his backyard, and we went and
picked a bunch of oranges and squeezed him and had an orange
juice stand, in my grandma's
driveway. Ah. So it was right out near the road. It was great. We made,
like, I think, $10 off people just randomly driving
by. We didn't. We were just bored, too. Like,

(16:56):
we were sitting in the garage drinking soda. We were like, what can we do?

I forgot about that.

>> Teacup (17:01):
We did that a couple, man. That was nice, man.

that's like the Florida version of a lemonade stand. You pick
oranges and you sell orange juice instead of lemonade.

>> Chip (17:08):
Well, the oranges were free.

>> Teacup (17:09):
We didn't have to go get lemons, man. When me and
my brothers were little kids, we'd stand in front of our house
with a bunch of rocks in our hands, and we'd throw them at cars. And when they'd
stop, we'd run.

>> Chip (17:23):
To be fair, to be fair. We did
that. We did it not with rocks, but we had rubber band guns. And
along the road, there were these bushes. We would all hide behind
the bushes. And then as people would come up, we would shoot these rubber
bands at them. Just light up the car. A bunch of kids popping up out of
the bushes.

>> Teacup (17:39):
When I was a teenager, we would fold these pieces of paper
into unbelievably small, pieces,
fold them in half, and then launch them with the rubber bands.
Those hurt, man. Ah. Yep, those hurt. All
right, what's the next rule?

Listen, nod, and most of all,
make eye contact.

>> Teacup (17:56):
Absolutely.

>> Chip (17:56):
Yeah.

Y'all are psycho.

>> Teacup (18:00):
Why?

>> Chip (18:00):
It's a respect thing.

>> Teacup (18:02):
Why wouldn't you look somebody in the eye when you're talking?

Don't initially, but do you just stare at them in the eyes?

>> Teacup (18:06):
No.

>> Chip (18:07):
No.

>> Teacup (18:08):
You go one. One eye to the other. Don't be a
psycho.

>> Chip (18:12):
Oh, no. Or or here's a little trick. You can mess with
people if you look right here.

>> Teacup (18:17):
Yeah.

>> Chip (18:17):
I like people that are just listening right between your
eyes and up about an inch, almost on your forehead.
It'll mess with people because they'll think that there's something there,
so they'll get super self conscious.

>> Teacup (18:27):
All right? So don't do that. That's not.

>> Chip (18:29):
It works. Don't start. Like, they'll start backing up and they'll,
like the. And they'll stutter. It's great.

Chip, that's mean.

>> Teacup (18:36):
But the point.

>> Chip (18:37):
But it's funny. I think
I've done it to random people at the store, like, to the
cashiers, too. It's great.

>> Teacup (18:45):
All right, so if. If you want.
You want people to think you're a psychopath and
you do this. Yeah, yeah, do that. Like, what
the fuck is wrong with you, man?

>> Chip (18:55):
Look, I saw it on a tick tock, okay? And I tried it and it
worked.

>> Teacup (18:58):
That's fucking stupid.

>> Chip (19:00):
But normally, if you want to respect people, you look.

>> Teacup (19:02):
You're better than that. I like to do it to my
wife, though. It is funny. But.

>> Chip (19:07):
But, I don't have one of those to do that.

>> Teacup (19:10):
But I contacted is important
and, you know, don't do it like chip
said. Ah, that's fucking insane.
And, like, once he. You got to go eye to eye,
eye to eye. You don't just stand there and stare at one eye. That's
fucking weird.

>> Chip (19:25):
Well, it also, like, it's okay to, like, look away for a second, right.
Or, like, if there's a noise, like, don't just like, yeah, you can't
move.

>> Teacup (19:31):
Yeah, that's.

I think it's because I have some of that empathic stuff in
me. And so the more that I look at somebody in the eye, the more that I
can feel what they're feeling, and that just gets very
uncomfortable. Do you not do that, like, when you're looking at
somebody and you're talking to somebody?

>> Chip (19:44):
That's the point, is, because then you can reach them. Yeah.

>> Teacup (19:47):
You're having it. It's a whole experience. This is a
conversation. This is. It adds a human
dimension.

>> Chip (19:53):
Conversation.

>> Teacup (19:54):
What do you. Why aren't you. Why aren't you enjoying
Life?

I'm just saying it gets to be a little overwhelming when
you're looking at someone continuously in their
eyes while you're talking. Okay, let's
experiment. We have you on video this time. This is gonna be great. Look at each other in the
eyes. Look. Look at each other in the eyes.

>> Teacup (20:13):
Try not to fall in love.
But. And this isn't
uncomfortable for me because whenever I talk to you, I do this
to you.

>> Chip (20:23):
Yeah.

>> Teacup (20:23):
And whenever I talk to anybody, I do this. And like I
said, we go back and forth, each eye. I don't wanna make it
weird. I.

>> Chip (20:29):
Well, and some people, I've noticed, whenever you've done it to them,
they'll, like, get uncomfortable. Like that guy that, when we were down at,
That. When we went out last time, that guy when you
did it, he was very uncomfortable. He kept looking. He was
like, he would look at anything but
you at dinner. Yeah.

>> Teacup (20:46):
What guy? The waiter? Yeah.

>> Chip (20:49):
You didn't notice that?

>> Teacup (20:50):
No.

>> Chip (20:50):
Oh, he got super skittish. He was like, he wouldn't. He would
barely look at you.

>> Teacup (20:54):
Well, listen, there's some people that have, like,
issues with looking. People like, some, I get, I think
autism.

>> Chip (21:01):
He's looking at you.

>> Teacup (21:02):
I looked at you. I went and looked in your eyes.

>> Chip (21:04):
Because he's talking to.

>> Teacup (21:05):
Because I'm talking to you.

>> Chip (21:07):
Oh, my gosh.

>> Teacup (21:09):
I think autistic people, I think that's a, m. That's
a trait for them, right?
Yeah. They have a problem doing that, maintaining eye contact.

Are you trying to say I'm autistic?

>> Teacup (21:19):
No, I do have an autistic child, and that's
fine.

>> Chip (21:23):
Definitely has problems with that.

>> Teacup (21:24):
And you know what I would do?

>> Chip (21:25):
She didn't get it.

>> Teacup (21:26):
I mean, I would be like, hey. Because I'm pretty
sure my son might be on the spectrum, something. But listen, I've
always said this. I think everybody is
on the spectrum. Yeah. Yeah.
And so I say to him, dude, dude, you're gonna look me in the eye when
you talk to me. I don't get. I don't care how you feel, cuz you're
gonna do this with everybody. Don't stare at him. And I'd

(21:47):
say the same thing that, no, you don't stare at them,
like, look away. Sometimes you can blink.

Like, I look at them long enough to assess what's
really going on in their mind, and then once I've got
a real read on that, then that lets me know if
this is still a comfortable thing to keep looking, man, you know.

>> Teacup (22:03):
You know what? I do a lot because I always wear
sunglasses. I'm sure
you're aware. You guys are aware. And I was in the
army, and I was talking to, m my captain,
the company commander, m and I had
my sunglasses on, and he, like, got
my ass a little bit. He's like, take them fucking sunglasses off. Who the fuck

(22:23):
you think you are? And I'm like, I don't.
me. I don't know. It's bright out,
man.

>> Chip (22:29):
Like, you know, the
sun is loud.

>> Teacup (22:33):
So weird. No, he's. No, he
was like, we're men. We look each other in the eyes when we talk to
each other. And I was like, God, I felt kind of homoerotic a little
bit. But at
the same time, only a guy. Oh, at the
same time, I was like, you know what? He's not
wrong. I was looking at him, he just couldn't see

(22:54):
my eyes. I mean, I don't know. But we
stare deeply into each other's eyes for the rest of the conversation.

I think you should stare deeply into each other's eyes for the rest of this
episode.

(23:25):
Here's your next rule. You ready?

>> Teacup (23:27):
I'm gonna need another, Cerveza.

Show restraint in expressing anger,
no matter what. Being angry is a waste
of energy.

>> Chip (23:38):
not a waste of energy.

>> Teacup (23:39):
It depends.

>> Chip (23:40):
But there should be some restraint. And it also depends
on what you're angry about. Right. And it
depends, like, if it is a righteous
anger and it is appropriate to unleash it,
go for it. Otherwise, yeah,
it's a. It's a. Well,
see, it's just not.

>> Teacup (23:58):
What's the outcome?
What kind of outcome are you looking for?

>> Chip (24:03):
It depends on the situation.

>> Teacup (24:05):
This is the situation. This is the difference is
all situation. This is all
situation.

>> Chip (24:11):
Like, sure, if you're out there and someone cuts you
off, like, And you're
not gonna sit there and get out of the car and scream at it,
have restraint. I don't know that you would,
but outlier.

>> Teacup (24:24):
no, no, I don't do it for that. That's kind of. That's just too much.
I have done it for other things.

>> Chip (24:31):
But, like, if you want to go on the extreme end of things, like a
military thing, right? If your buddy gets shot
and you're angry about it, I'd say use that
anger for good. Now, obviously I don't have the experience
to say it, but I would think it would
be a good thing to use it.

Is anger useful on the battlefield?

>> Teacup (24:49):
I don't know. I don't.

You don't think so? I don't think so. I think it clouds.

>> Chip (24:53):
He was just out there vibing.

>> Teacup (24:56):
I once went on mission dressed like Santa.

>> Chip (24:58):
I know you didn't.

>> Teacup (25:00):
Yeah, I did. I sure did.

You went on mission in what country dressed like Santa?

>> Teacup (25:04):
Iraq.

Oh my gosh.

>> Teacup (25:06):
They got christians there.

>> Chip (25:07):
Wait a minute. Did, did you have
the Santa suit on like with your kit on top of it?

>> Teacup (25:13):
Yeah, well, I had the, I had the, the big Santa
beard, I think I had, like a jacket, I think.
But I had it underneath my kit. Cuz you still got
access.

Thing to be so clear, Santa has nothing to do with
Christianity. I don't know why you equated those two.

>> Teacup (25:27):
Because we do.

Now, Christians don't let, don't, don't
have Santa be a part of their Christmas because he's
replacing Jesus. The reason for the season.

>> Teacup (25:35):
Well, Christians aren't supposed to be out slaying, Iraqis either,
so I'm just saying. So can I. Can I fucking
be Santa, when I.

>> Chip (25:43):
During my christian holiday, 365 days a year.

>> Teacup (25:46):
Thank you. It was. It was
Christmas time. The boys were a little sad. We had been there for
a while, and, you know, you got to do things to be,
you know, lifted up a little bit,
so. Oh. Ah, man. See that, though, dude, I never told
you about the time I dressed up like an Iraqi and
I ran around at night with a rocket
launcher. That was stupid

(26:09):
dress. Dressing for
the job.

>> Chip (26:14):
What?

Dressing?

>> Chip (26:16):
Oh, my God. Wait. Like, with the whole,
like, not dress?

>> Teacup (26:20):
Well, yeah, it's. We call her mad dress. I don't know. and I
have one. My interpreter got me one, and he got me a really nice
one. It is very nice. And, I have it
up in, like, my closet somewhere, I
think. But, the general rule.

Rule here that you. You stopped him a minute ago. He
was saying, use your anger. And you were saying, I don't know.

>> Teacup (26:40):
Well, all right, I'm sorry. Yeah.
So I threw on this man dress, and I ran around,
and a platoon sergeant saw me. He got upset.
He thought I was there to kill him, and he was
going to do something to me. But he controlled his anger.
He collected himself for a minute. See? So

(27:00):
for you to say, just like,
f, it's righteous. It would have been righteous to punch me m in the face right
there. I'm glad he didn't.
I'm glad he didn't shoot me because he was reaching for his pistol.

>> Chip (27:12):
Oh, my God.
That would have been a very different story.

>> Teacup (27:15):
It was all pretty funny, though. But
I think. I think there's situations
where. And it's gonna be obvious
situations like, I
think, obviously,
getting, upset in traffic is stupid, and we.
We are better than that. But then there's things that

(27:35):
we should be upset about. Like, and we did the whole
episode on these scumbags that rape women and
beat them and do all that weird shit. So,
like, I think that that's righteous.

See, I almost feel like it's more righteous. Sure,
get angry. Please get angry on our behalf, but it's almost more righteous
when you just calmly take care of the problem.
It's definitely hotter. It's hotter when a man is like,
he got angry, he got righteously angry, and then
he got control of himself and just dealt with the
problem in this cold fashion.

>> Chip (28:07):
So the note there is, do show the anger. But
when it's time to deal with the problem, don't deal with the
problem with anger. Yes, deal with the
problem after dealing
with the anger.

>> Teacup (28:20):
Only if you're trying to turn on one. See if I'm mad.
I'm just gonna take care of whatever I gotta take care of.
and listen, I appreciate your perspective.

Okay? Next rule. Whether it's dinner, drinks,
or both, avoid placing your phone
on the dinner table.

>> Teacup (28:39):
Oh, yeah. You don't take. You're not even supposed to take it out.

>> Chip (28:42):
Yeah. It stays in your pocket.

This is such a male privilege moment. This is
such a male privilege moment.
If you have children, you have to
be accessible. Because the one time I didn't answer my
phone when my son called and my daughter
called, there had been a car accident.
We live in a world where moms need to be

(29:04):
accessible because the children are out and about and there
might be an accident. But you guys are like, no, absolutely,
take your phone.

>> Chip (29:10):
No. Because also, we have a rule, though,
that is if you call twice, that means
something's up.

>> Teacup (29:18):
So mad if, I called. I'm gonna
be honest. Can I be honest?

>> Chip (29:23):
You call people over and over until they.

>> Teacup (29:25):
No, no, no. Oh, yeah. Only
my wife. I don't really.
I don't really care, you know, other people, if they don't answer, I
don't even leave messages, you know, I'm
like, that's. That's these
motherfuckers. Oh, you don't want to answer the phone for me, huh?
Okay.

They might be in the bathroom.

>> Teacup (29:47):
Answer the fucking phone.

>> Chip (29:48):
They might be on another call. They might, like, we all
pee.

>> Teacup (29:52):
Ew.

>> Chip (29:55):
Could you imagine? You have to call, like, your
coworker, and they pick up and you just hear in the
background the dreams.

>> Teacup (30:02):
I've done that. Hey, man. Oh, shit. What are you doing?

>> Chip (30:05):
Okay.

>> Teacup (30:05):
To be facetime your buddy in there. And they
answer it and they're taking a shit. That's great.

>> Chip (30:10):
Funny story about this. So three in the morning,
and my buddies were all on discord. We're playing games,
we're chatting. My headphones are wireless.
And I thought I had the noise canceling on where
it'll cancel out any background noise.
I had not updated the software, and it was off.
And I went to the bathroom, and. No, we're in

(30:32):
the big, intense gunfight going on.
Like, everyone's talking, everyone's giving call outs.
It goes silent. I thought my headphones. And turned
off. What's going on? And one of my buddies, he
goes, but,
what are you doing right now? It's like, I'm busy. Hold
on. And I finished up, I went back downstairs and they were

(30:52):
like, there is no way. Because I just gotten those
headphones and I had told them about it. They're like, there is no
way that you just did that. Like, yes, I did.
And now, now it's a thing. Every time we play the last,
they're like, hey, we've seen you haven't moved in a while.
Where you at right now? Are you at your desk right now?
Every time we play, are you at your desk right now? Where are you right

(31:13):
now? Cuz they know I could be anywhere. I could
be taking a piss. They'd have no idea.

>> Teacup (31:18):
I say, take me with you. You got a piss, take me with you.
We're talking.

It would just be really cool if, if.

>> Chip (31:24):
Oh, now we do. They'll hear it and they'll like, you.

>> Teacup (31:27):
Never like, played battle shits
or,

>> Chip (31:30):
What?

>> Teacup (31:31):
No wrong with you.

What even is that?

>> Teacup (31:34):
I've never even heard, like, you're. You and your friend are in the bathroom.
You guys obviously separate stalls
now you're pushing no battle shits.
No.

>> Chip (31:43):
No. What?

>> Teacup (31:45):
You guys suck.

>> Chip (31:46):
Am I missing out on something?

>> Teacup (31:47):
Yes.

and y'all laugh at us going to the bathroom together. We don't do that.

>> Teacup (31:50):
Yeah, because you guys aren't doing cool shit like battleships.

Nope.

>> Chip (31:57):
I mean, to be fair.

>> Teacup (32:01):
I love being in, like, actually, I hate
being in public restrooms, but I love
it because, like,
everybody is. Is trying their best
to have this private moment, you
know, in such a public setting. In such a public
setting. And like, you
know, some dudes just don't give a fuck. And those dudes

(32:23):
are my favorite. Those dudes are my fucking
favorite.

>> Chip (32:27):
They go in there, they sit down and, ah, the moment he walks
in, everybody's like, do I need to leave? You know,
quickly.

>> Teacup (32:34):
Why not? Listen, I say get it out. Better out than it.

>> Chip (32:37):
Oh, my God.

You know, y'all are such guys.

>> Chip (32:39):
Okay, then in that case, the best place to go if you want to have
the.

>> Teacup (32:43):
I don't. I just said I don't like using public restrooms.

>> Chip (32:45):
But if you. You just said you, you like, only
at the same time.

>> Teacup (32:49):
Only for the sounds. I like days.

>> Chip (32:51):
So I'm saying for the sounds I.

>> Teacup (32:53):
Told you about my love days. No, fuck that. that's
gross, loves.

>> Chip (32:57):
Yes, that.

>> Teacup (32:58):
Actually, I spent a lot of time on,
you, know, a long hauler.
And, those
truck stop restrooms, those are. I do like
them. The, stalls are pretty spacious,
bro.

>> Chip (33:12):
And the vibe. The vibe at truck stops is just so much better
than, like, a normal gas station.

>> Teacup (33:16):
He's a hillbilly.

But back to why women keep.

>> Chip (33:18):
Am I wrong?

You're a hillbilly on the table so that we can save our children's lives. You
have kids, Teacup. Does your wife not keep
her phone on the table if you guys go out?

>> Teacup (33:28):
Why does that have to be on the table? Why can't it be in your pocket? You
feel it in your pocket?

>> Chip (33:32):
They don't have pockets.

We don't have pockets, sir.

>> Chip (33:36):
Bro, no lie. We
compared three different pairs of jeans, three
different manufacturers, mine versus
hers. My pocket could fit my keys, a
knife, a wallet, like all the,
hers couldn't fit her phone.

>> Teacup (33:52):
I want to just back up a second. This, this is
rules for men. I don't care if
women put their phones on their table, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Wouldn't it be cool if you went, if you took sweetness out on
a date? As far as I'm concerned, so you take
sweetness out on a date, and you sit down at this lovely
restaurant and you watch her pull her phone out, you say, hey, babe. Hey,
babe. I'm gonna keep my phone on in case the kids
know you've got the night off. Just
imagine, imagine how that date is going
to end. I can tell you how it's going. You will be a very

(34:23):
happy man.

>> Teacup (34:24):
Listen, you really haven't gotten a whole
lot of experience with me, and rightly so. I mean, I saw you. He's
a big man, Sina
says, struggling on date night. I'll
just tell you that.

I'm just saying it would be so nice if there were a man who, like, if
you, if you knew. We're not sitting our phones on the table because
we don't want to miss a call. It's, we're
moms and we've got kids.

>> Teacup (34:47):
And we have family. So this is what I say,
have your phone out, answer the phone for your kids. That's
fine.

But what if you did?

>> Teacup (34:54):
But listen, this is the dynamic that we have,
and I, you know,
if, if, here's the other thing.
We don't really let people watch our kids,
you know, so, but then, then at
the same time, if we do, it's usually a family
member, and it's usually because where we live, her family

(35:17):
lives close by. So they would call her, not
me. And she's okay with that. That's our
dynamic, I would say, for
the young man here and myself, no,
because we are supposed to be so
enthralled, enveloped in this
woman before us that we

(35:38):
couldn't possibly take a fucking
call to save our children because
the woman that could provide us more is before
us.

Yeah, no, we're good with you taking the emergency calls.

>> Teacup (35:51):
I don't know.

Or the ones from school that they forgot their lunch or they
forgot their assignment or they forgot their sports equipment or they
forgot their whatever. And so that. Would you keep
your phone?

>> Teacup (36:01):
No, I'm very blessed. I'm in the unique position where I am the
one that can do those things.

Okay, rule 16. Well, you've already
broken this one. You're out. Never pose with
alcohol.

>> Teacup (36:14):
I was sitting here having a beer.
I don't know.

>> Chip (36:18):
That's an old rule.

>> Teacup (36:19):
What does that mean?

It means never pose with alcohol.

>> Teacup (36:22):
Like, if I'm having a drink with me and my friends and somebody's.
Okay, let's take a picture real quick. I need to put my drink
down. I, I kind of like that.

>> Chip (36:31):
I mean, I think it also depends on what
you do, what kind of person you want to
be.

>> Teacup (36:37):
Yeah. Ah, that depends on
who I'm with. If I'm with my friend friends
and we're just hanging out now, we're a
bunch of lushes, and we're gonna.
These photos are with our cordials.

Okay. That one was easy. Rule 17, proper grammar
will get you far in line.

>> Teacup (36:54):
Definitely leave.

>> Chip (36:56):
Hell yeah, brother.

There's a second part. This is. I didn't read this one ahead of
time either. Leave the foul language for the
less educated.

>> Teacup (37:04):
Oh, no, that. I disagree with that. And, you know, it's so
funny, I get this all the time,
but I'm pretty sure there was a study done
that said people that. That tend
to swear more
have higher accused have. Are more intelligent.
And not only that, but also more trustworthy.

Mm

>> Chip (37:25):
Well, here's the thing.

>> Teacup (37:26):
So, you know, and. And then I'm. I'd also have to say,
like. And I've been in a lot of positions where, you know,
conducting business and those kinds of
situations, and, you
know, sometimes the fuck word gets thrown out there. It's
okay. Nobody. I mean, it's not a big deal.

>> Chip (37:42):
Well, and I couldn't follow that one because if I told you what
my favorite word is.

What's your favorite word?

>> Chip (37:47):
Chuckle fuck. It is my favorite
word ever.

>> Teacup (37:51):
I mean, is it?

>> Chip (37:53):
I've called people. It's a name. You call someone a
chuckle fuck. Listen here, chuckle fuck. It's great.
I use it all the time. Not around you, obviously,
but now,
like, we're.

>> Teacup (38:08):
We did that class. Like, that's
not a place. No, for that.

What class?

>> Teacup (38:15):
The marine class.

>> Chip (38:16):
The boat one.

>> Teacup (38:18):
You know, where we learned how to fix a boat. I'm, buying a boat now.
Everything came to fruition.

So you're saying in more formal situations,
watch your language.

>> Teacup (38:29):
You gotta read the room.

>> Chip (38:30):
Yeah. It depends on who you're with. Depends on the situation.

>> Teacup (38:33):
So the instructor for that class is a
very respectable person, like, and he
presents himself as that way. The way he talks, the way he speaks.

>> Chip (38:41):
Old fashioned.

He follows this rule.

>> Teacup (38:43):
So. Yeah, yeah. So,
you know, it is, it's just,
you know, when in Rome.

>> Chip (38:52):
Yeah.

So here's a question. So clearly that teacher is setting
the standard. So you don't want to set the standard.

>> Teacup (38:59):
There's a, there's a time and a place for this.

>> Chip (39:02):
There's also a difference. I just don't, I don't think for everybody.

>> Teacup (39:04):
Yeah. I don't think that, like, in, like.

>> Chip (39:06):
An education setting, I have friends that.

They don't curse, they don't cuss.

>> Teacup (39:10):
Yeah, well, I don't trust those fuckers.

So when I'm with them, here's the thing.

>> Chip (39:14):
They do. They do you just not around you.
That means you're not.

No, I'm pretty sure she doesn't. I'm pretty sure darn is the worst
word she would ever say.

>> Chip (39:22):
Oh, I know you're talking. No, she definitely does. When it's just
him and her talking about.

No, not them. I know they cuss.

>> Chip (39:29):
I was about to say, I was like, I know she does.

Yeah, yeah.

>> Teacup (39:32):
That's never, never,
like, to say the word cuss is
so weak to me.

I very, very rarely cussed when I was an
evangelical. Like, I never saw
God. I still don't really say, oh, my God.

>> Chip (39:49):
I didn't hear you cuss until
I was, I want to
say 15 or 16, probably true.

>> Teacup (39:57):
Nah, I got in trouble for
swearing when I was in basic training,
and that was the stupidest fucking
thing you're in the middle m ever
experienced in my Life. Well, I've experienced some
stupid shit. That was one of the stupidest. And I said
that. I said I, didn't, you know, like, we

(40:17):
got range week coming up, dude. Like, we're gonna be
shooting and then, like, six months from now
we're going to Iraq or Afghanistan and, but the
swearing is what is gotta be
the can do that.
And then, like, as I was getting out of the military, they, you
know, I had a first argument. He said it to us. You know, you

(40:38):
can't, you can't swear at your soldiers anymore. So if you gotta say the
fuck word, you got to say it like that. You know, this
fuck word. Soldier.

>> Chip (40:45):
No way.

>> Teacup (40:46):
And then maybe there's
something to be.

Said for being able to control yourself, like, wanting
to say it and not saying it.

>> Chip (40:56):
It's just a word.

>> Teacup (40:57):
In the end, it's just a word. And then I'm gonna say
this. I want to be able to express
myself. And if. If
your job requires you to, like,
rein that in, you should friggin do
that. If.

>> Chip (41:13):
If the friggin.

>> Teacup (41:14):
If the. Yeah, if the. If the
company you keep requires you to do that, and that's
the company that you want to keep, then you should
probably fucking do it.

>> Chip (41:26):
But if you're freaking do it.

>> Teacup (41:27):
Like, if. If for me,
I don't want to do that. I don't want to be relegated to, like,
somebody else's opinion on what's couth and
uncouth and all this bullshit. I don't care. I want to do
me. So I
try to read the room, but at the same time,
you know, we ease into it. We'll see what happens. And

(41:48):
then I, you know.

Okay, three more rules. You ready?

>> Chip (41:52):
Okay.

Ask more than you answer.
Silence. I love it.

>> Chip (41:59):
Also depends on the situation, but mostly.

>> Teacup (42:02):
Yes, no, all the time. All
the time.

Ask more than you answer.

>> Chip (42:07):
I don't know. Because what if you're. What if
the, like, for whatever reason, you are the,
like the thing, right? That's supposed to be the person who's
supposed to be talked to, Right? So, like, let's say
you're in an event, Right? Yeah. and it's. The event is
in honor of you. People are going to be
coming over to ask you, and you're going to have

(42:27):
to answer.

>> Teacup (42:28):
Yeah, but that's not what we're talking about. This isn't
situational. I think this is a specific.

Even then, though, I think it's very powerful. When a
leader. When you come to a leader and you say, how do
Ixyz? And the leader responds
by asking you questions, well, what would
you do in this scenario? Well, what do you think about this? Well,
what have you done in the past? I think that's powerful.

>> Chip (42:51):
And I'm also playing the devil's advocate here, because I usually kind
of just sit and listen.

do you ask or answer? Tika. What if I was
talking to you about security in the Middle East?
I think that's what he's talking about. I would expect you to answer,
and.

>> Teacup (43:06):
Well, so, like, I.

>> Chip (43:09):
Exactly. It's like if someone asks you something
that's specific to you, right?
That means you're gonna be the person major, like,
that's mostly gonna be answering.

>> Teacup (43:19):
So if you were to say, Teacup,
what do you think of
what's going on in
Ukraine?
I would say to you, well, what do
you mean? What do you mean? What's
going on? There's lots of things going on. What's. What do you mean?

(43:41):
And then if you said, hey, what do you feel? How do you feel about
Ukraine's, method of engagement
or whatever? I don't know. I'm not. I'm not in
charge. I'm. I'm not fighting the fucking Russians, but the Ukrainians
are doing a good job stomping the shit out of those pieces of shit. So,
you know, I watch some of the
videos you sent me because I like seeing that stuff. I like seeing those

(44:02):
Russians get slaughtered by the. The artists
that you are, the former artists that are now, you
know, kings of battle.

>> Chip (44:09):
Former artists, musicians.

>> Teacup (44:12):
Yeah.

>> Chip (44:12):
So professional gamers. There's one I forgot to send
you. He was a professional esports guy
turned drone pilot.

>> Teacup (44:20):
So I'm. I mean,
I would probably see. Again, I'm asking you questions.
What do you mean? What do you. What are you getting at? What's
the point? Because then, like, if you watch
those videos, you have an idea of what's
going on. You know, this is an example. Obviously, you have an
idea of what's going on. You can see what's happening.

(44:42):
And why are you asking me? I'm not there. Just
because I had an experience doesn't mean I know about that
experience. Different stuff.
We should do a whole show on Ukraine, by the way, but should.

Next episode.

>> Chip (44:54):
It's been going on long enough that we can actually talk about it.

>> Teacup (44:57):
But I say it is better
to keep your mouth shut and listen
to what's going on around you. Ask questions when
necessary. This is, I think, what we have a problem with. Sometimes.
Sometimes we talk too much.

>> Chip (45:10):
He says exactly. As we're sitting
here, though, our whole thing right now is to just talk.

>> Teacup (45:15):
Well, there's that dude we know, right? How many times
did I tell that fucker?

>> Chip (45:19):
True, true.

What was that?

>> Chip (45:23):
And he's still that,

>> Teacup (45:24):
And he's still that person who talks too much.

>> Chip (45:26):
Yeah.

>> Teacup (45:27):
So there's people that talk. Drake talks
too much. I'm just gonna
rule 19.

You can tell a great deal about a person by their handshake,
so make yours strong and firm.

>> Chip (45:39):
Yep.

>> Teacup (45:41):
No. yes. Do you like it?
What kind of handshake you like?

>> Chip (45:47):
Firm like you're like, it's intentional. If you give
me a floppy fish, it's. That's embarrassing for
you. I'm gonna be like, you really? Like, you couldn't even put in
the effort to, like, you know, like, it's almost
disrespectful in a way.

>> Teacup (46:01):
that they're effeminate and that
they're not one.

>> Chip (46:04):
It's all. And I'm also just
going for, like, two guys, right.
That, like, if you can't even put in the
effort to, like,
stiffen your arm, that's
kind of like, really? You couldn't even see, like, there's people.

>> Teacup (46:22):
That come in overzealous. I fucking hate people.

>> Chip (46:25):
But then that's the other thing.

>> Teacup (46:26):
And they want to grip the fuck.

>> Chip (46:27):
Out of it too much, then that's. You can also tell a lot
about that because that means they're like, too.

>> Teacup (46:33):
They're.

>> Chip (46:33):
They're almost self conscious about it.

>> Teacup (46:35):
You think. You think it's. It shows weakness. Huh? Huh?

>> Chip (46:38):
Yeah.

>> Teacup (46:38):
To grip that fuck out of your hand.

>> Chip (46:40):
Yep. Because they feel inferior if they don't, like, win
that.

>> Teacup (46:43):
You know, they gotta win it.

>> Chip (46:45):
Yeah.

>> Teacup (46:45):
Trump. I watched Trump shake hands, and I can't. Unlike. It
pisses me off whenever I see it. Because he, like, pulls people in.

>> Chip (46:51):
Yeah.

That's a power.

>> Chip (46:52):
It's cringe.

Yeah. They get taught that. That's a power move.

>> Chip (46:54):
I know.

Make them come to you. Or if. If. When they're shaking
your hand, if they place their other hand on your forearm, that's
a power move to.

>> Chip (47:01):
Yeah. And it's stupid because it's all
based on they have to feel better than you.

That's the thing. I don't like shaking hands because I don't like being touched.

>> Teacup (47:10):
I don't mind shaking.

>> Chip (47:10):
I'm okay with it. Yeah, I'm okay with it.

>> Teacup (47:12):
And it should be, a firm handshake.

What about the fist bump?

>> Teacup (47:16):
I'm cool with that. Yeah.

I actually had a guy do that the other day. I went for the handshake.
See, as women, that's the rule for women, is that
we're taught is especially if it's a
mandev, you do not initiate the
handshake. If the man comes to shake your hand, then you can
shake his hand. But if he doesn't put his hand out, don't put yours out, because now
you're offending him. Is that true? Oh, that's
weird that we are

(47:40):
surping our place in the
social hierarchy if.

>> Teacup (47:44):
We surp away them.

>> Chip (47:47):
What are you talking about?

>> Teacup (47:50):
Who cares. You
know, if some dude gets all sad because you're like, hey,
and you stick your hand out first, I've had them rejected.

Especially older men.

>> Chip (48:00):
No way.

yes. If I
reciprocate.

>> Chip (48:05):
Yeah, that's wild.

What is wild is how
ignorant of our experience
men are. Like, that
gentleman clearly was aware of the dynamic because,
you know, I went to shake his hand because I had forgotten the rule in the
moment and, you know, he didn't reciprocate and so I just,
you know, recovered. But yeah, that's why

(48:28):
women aren't generally just putting their hand out to shake your
hand.

>> Teacup (48:31):
Hey, what do I say whenever you guys don't answer
me? If I say something, I'm always, you know, exactly what I would
have done. Stuck my hand out. You don't shake it.
I would have said, well, I guess I'll go fuck myself.

>> Chip (48:43):
Yep.

I'm gonna say that next time, you know.

>> Teacup (48:46):
Yeah, like, what the fuck?
Like, I guess
I'll go fuck myself then.

>> Chip (48:54):
He does that a lot.

>> Teacup (48:55):
Yeah. Cuz you fuckers don't answer. It's like you guys are deaf.

>> Chip (48:59):
I think I am deaf.

>> Teacup (49:00):
No, you guys. alright, so I went to the doctor for this because I thought
I needed a hearing aid. He said that
I just don't pay attention to people when they're talking.
It's not that I can actually hear, I just don't give a fuck what
people are saying, so I don't listen.
And I had, I've been thinking about that for the last couple
days.

(49:23):
One c go. What's the next one?

Rule 20. Okay, here we go. Last one.
Speak honestly, say what you mean and mean what
you say.

>> Teacup (49:31):
Absolutely.

>> Chip (49:32):
Okay, now see, I struggled with this as a kid.

Yeah. I have an issue here because people will always say, oh,
absolutely. Your yes should be yes or no should be no. People say that all the
time and then they don't act like that.

>> Teacup (49:43):
Example, please.

Oh, it happens all the time. All the time. I can go into a
new business relationship and I can be like, you know, this is what we're gonna
do. This is what you're gonna do, this is what I'm gonna do. Let's move forward. And,
inevitably, 90% of the time, a week later, the person
is not doing what they love, that I'm in.

>> Teacup (49:58):
The 10%, she's not fucking talking about me.
Cause I am the easiest person, matter of fact, today. So
my daughter went to that appointment, went through it.
Everything's good, we're on our way out and you know, you got to make the next
year's appointment. And so I made that. I
was making the appointment. And ladies like, so
it's like, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. What days of the week are good

(50:18):
for you? And I'm like, whatever one you pick, you
know, whatever one comes up first, pick it. And she's like,
okay. Oh, that's easy. And then I'm
like, yeah, you pick the date and time.

>> Chip (50:29):
Love.

>> Teacup (50:29):
We're good. And then she asked
me, all Right, so we have, you know, pretty much any time
available. And I'm like, love. What's the first one you saw? Pick
it. I like, I'm easy.

>> Chip (50:39):
I like when they.

>> Teacup (50:40):
You tell me what to do.

>> Chip (50:41):
I like when they ask, like, morning or evening, but past that,
like, if you ask me, like, the difference between, would
you rather nine or ten? I bet it's in the morning. It's
good enough.

>> Teacup (50:50):
I don't. Yeah, I don't give a fuck.

I. Yeah, but like, these people, for
instance, what if you told somebody, okay,
I'm going. We're gonna meet at this place at this
time and do this thing. And then,
you know, the day comes and you don't feel like doing it, and so you cancel.
Is that an instance of not doing what you said you
would do?

>> Chip (51:11):
Yes. if you told them, if you said
concretely, I am going to be here, we
are going to do this on this day at this time, and you
don't go there. And the day of, you're just like, I don't want to
anymore. Yes, but if there is
just. But if there is a real reason other
than I don't feel like it.

>> Teacup (51:30):
No shirt. I don't need a fucking reason. You tell me.
Hey, listen, Teacup can't do the
show today because I got this going. You don't even have to tell me I can't do
the show today. All Right, man. I'm probably gonna ask you because I like you
and we're friends and I, you know, why wouldn't you fucking
tell me what's going on? If you
don't tell me what's going on, you're a fucking dick, and we're really not that

(51:51):
cool.

>> Chip (51:52):
I overshare with you, to be fair.

>> Teacup (51:54):
You do, and that's fine,
and that's fine, but, like,
if. And because this happens to me a lot, I'll get
invited to a party or something, or get together or something.
And I'm. At first I'm like, yeah, but
shit comes up. You just got done telling me about
kids and leaving the phone on table. So, I mean,

(52:14):
sometimes I have things that come up.

>> Chip (52:16):
Well, that's what I was saying.

>> Teacup (52:17):
I don't need it, but I don't need to explain myself to anybody.
We're grown, but what the fuck are.

We doing that's breaking down this rule. This rule says,
say what you mean and mean what you say. So if you said,
I'm coming, I'm going to be there, and
then nothing really happens to prevent you from being there other than now you
don't feel.

>> Chip (52:33):
Like it, that does break it. If there is
a literal, if you just don't want to go all of a sudden,
but you already told this person you're going to be there. No,
you can't just not go, which.

Is me every time, because I'm an introvert.

>> Chip (52:46):
Yeah, me too.

Me too.

>> Chip (52:48):
I got it from you. I know, but you
gotta go because you, they also plan
their lives around this appointment, and
they're honestly, they probably, they might have had
the same thing. They didn't want to go, but they push through.

>> Teacup (53:03):
I can't be. Shit happens. And I'm like, you
know, and I.

>> Chip (53:06):
But again, that's what I'm saying. If it happens, then
sure, like, same.

>> Teacup (53:10):
Time, I wouldn't hold it against you. If you're like, hey, I can't do
this. I'm like, yeah, cool.

>> Chip (53:14):
I would hold against myself, though. I'd be like, I told you,
I, because that's also with it. That's, you
gave your word that you would be somewhere.

>> Teacup (53:22):
Now, here's what I'm saying. I'll say
this. If it happened once,
you know, I don't give a shit. But
if it was like, I called you and set up
plans with you for, like, a week straight every
day. But first off, I wouldn't do
that. by the second time, I just

(53:42):
kick rocks.

Now, what about if sweetness
asks you to do something and you say,
yes, I'll do it.

>> Teacup (53:51):
This wasn't, this wasn't the question.

But this is because, I mean, hubs and I run into this too,
where it's like, I will say, can you x, y,
z? And he will say, yes, and then it will not
happen. And like, what chip is saying, I will
be like you said, yeah.

>> Teacup (54:13):
That disappointments real. I can, I can
admit that because I too, I, too have been
disappointed at times when people have said, hey, man, I'm gonna come
through for you. And then they have not come through for me. And
that's okay, you know,
I'm also a person that doesn't like, I'm not sitting here
relying on anybody for, you know, if it doesn't

(54:34):
happen, I don't really give a fuck. I kind of do it like
that because life
happens. I don't. I don't.
That is going to breed an animus that I would
rather not deal with.
You know what I mean?

It feels like an integrity issue to me.
If I tell. If somebody says, will you do XYZ?
And I say, yes, my
yes needs to mean yes.

>> Chip (55:01):
It's not just yes. If I feel like it at the time.
It's a, yes, I'm going to do it. You know, unless
something cataclysm.
Cataclysmic happens, then
what are we talking about?

>> Teacup (55:13):
Are we talking about.

I'm talking about even the little things. If I can't stand by the yes, I shouldn't
give it, right? Like, even with my, with a kid, if
one of your kids says, dad, can you, XYz,
dad, can you make sure that you move my laundry over the
dryer so I have clothes to wear for school in the morning? And then the
next morning, the clothes weren't in the dryer because, hey, dad forgot.
Well, but dad said dad would do that. Can the kid not depend

(55:34):
on the dad?

>> Teacup (55:35):
Yeah. You know what? I have a lot of experience with this because my
dad had failed me a bunch when I was a kid.
M things like that. And it is upsetting.
We gotta give people grace because there are things that
happen. I'm not saying, you know, just because you don't feel like doing
it, there are things that happen. I'm. What I'm saying
is that I'm not gonna hold it against anybody.

(55:56):
I'm also not gonna ask them what they're doing.
It's like, I wouldn't do that.

But would you think that in that instance, the child,
number one, has a right to be upset because you said you would do
something, they depended on you. You proved to be.

>> Teacup (56:09):
Yeah, of course.

And number two, that that's going to cause
a rip in your relationship because the child depended on you and
you let them down. And that's true for any relationship. I'm just using a child
as an example.

>> Teacup (56:19):
Well, children are children. It's going to be more devastating because they
can't. They can't rationalize, you know, that
there's.

That's true. Well, let's say with a friend, you know, you told a
friend said, hey, can you go pick this up for me? You're
going to wherever. And while you're there, can you grab this for me,
your neighbor? And you said, sure. And then you didn't do it.

>> Teacup (56:36):
I'm going to be honest with you. We may encounter this,
very exact same scenario
in the extremely near future.

Oh, why?

>> Teacup (56:46):
Because chip's not going to fucking clean my boat. I know. He's
nothing.

>> Chip (56:49):
I will clean your boat. This is
recorded. This is on camera. I will clean it.
I will make that boat shine. Okay, maybe not shine, but
I will clean it to the best of my ability.

But I mean, how cool is that, that you now know that if he
says, I'll clean it, you can bank on that? Like, he's gonna have to be
missing an arm.

>> Teacup (57:07):
So what, to not what we used to say when we were kids,
like, we would say, like, word is bond.

>> Chip (57:12):
Yeah, word is your bond.

So, yes, that'd be a very cool world to live in again,
because I will. I'll say, I'll get very fright. I get very frustrated
with people who say they're going to do something.

>> Teacup (57:23):
So if it's. If it's a business transaction,
obviously.
I want to work with people that when they say they're gonna do something,
they do it. And then I do my part. I've been
on both sides of the thing where I've had people not do
their thing and I've not done my part. You know, shit
happens.

but it's not just business, marriage,
friendships, colleagues, everybody. It's like, if
you're somebody who. I don't ever want to be
the kind of person that somebody asks me to do something
and I say yes, and they go, well, there's a 50 50 shot they'll really
do it. I don't want to be that undependable.

>> Teacup (57:56):
Oh, yeah.

>> Chip (57:57):
Integrity thing.

Yeah.

>> Teacup (57:59):
But again, this is what I.

>> Chip (58:01):
And this is number 21. Always have integrity.

>> Teacup (58:04):
Rule 21, integrity is
important. But that's what I mean. Like, if I have,
if I went to him a bunch of times and he kept just fucking
flaking on me, I, would never fucking ask him
again. Yes. He would lose all credibility with me. If
he only did it once or twice. I mean, like,
shit happens. And I would probably ask you what, what

(58:25):
the fuck was going on. I would expect you to ask
me.

>> Chip (58:28):
Yeah. And that just. That also depends on the relationship, you
know? Again, if it's a business thing, you're not going to ask.

>> Teacup (58:34):
No, I might ask because if I'm like, you would.

>> Chip (58:36):
I wouldn't. I'd be like, whatever. If.
Because I also assume no, people have that
integrity, so I would know that, okay. If they had to cancel
on.

>> Teacup (58:46):
I went into the doctor's office today, I said,
hey, Barbie. Hey, Ariel, Julian, my fucking
show.

And didn't it hurt when they hadn't, because they said they would.

>> Teacup (58:55):
I was like, you bastards.

>> Chip (58:56):
Right, there you go.

Do what you say you're gonna do, all right.

>> Chip (58:59):
I feel word is your bond.

Mm Mm

>> Chip (59:01):
Okay, that's been lost to time.

That's the 20 rules.

>> Chip (59:03):
Yeah.

You have any to add?

>> Teacup (59:05):
I think there's, I think there's like.

>> Chip (59:07):
There'S a lot more rules, but those are, that's a good start.
Some of, some of those were not it, but
there, there were some good ones in there.

(59:39):
I want to go back to the one where you dress the way
you, or, it was like always dress well
or something.

>> Teacup (59:46):
Yeah, that was always dress.

Rule eleven. Dress well. No matter what the occasion.

>> Chip (59:51):
I wanted to change that one a little bit. And it's not
kind of off of what you were saying with the like, you
dress for what you want to be,
right? I don't think it's as much that
as it is. You dress appropriately
for what you need to
do or what. Like,
for instance, I'm not going to wear a linen suit if it's

(01:00:14):
going to be raining outside all day.

>> Teacup (01:00:17):
I would like to see white linen suit when it rains out
all day.

>> Chip (01:00:20):
I'm sure you would.

>> Producer (01:00:22):
We'd probably get a whole lot more young women viewers if
you did that. Just saying.

>> Chip (01:00:27):
All of a sudden, gonna go buy a white linen suit now?

>> Producer (01:00:30):
Absolutely not.

>> Teacup (01:00:31):
I just got a squirt gun and shoot you in the peepee area.

>> Chip (01:00:36):
Oh my gosh.

>> Producer (01:00:37):
The things we talk about. Okay, moving on.

>> Chip (01:00:39):
That would be so funny.

>> Producer (01:00:40):
It's fine.

>> Teacup (01:00:41):
I, you know, I don't
know, man. I just, I went and bought, I go buy
cars and basketball shorts, you know, like
I'm, there's some privilege,
showing here too.

>> Producer (01:00:52):
the idea that you can choose what you're wearing. We don't
always have the ability to dress up. Do you
know what I mean?

>> Chip (01:00:59):
You know what I mean?

>> Teacup (01:01:00):
To be fair, clothes are expensive.

>> Chip (01:01:03):
I can't, like, I have a
nice outfit, but not everybody does.

>> Producer (01:01:08):
I mean, you could.

>> Chip (01:01:10):
That's the other thing. Also to go back to the thing of like, you know, guys
always used to wear slacks and stuff, right? All of
them. They had one nice outfit,
like nice outfit. That was it.

>> Teacup (01:01:20):
And they kept them pretty clean.

>> Chip (01:01:22):
and they wore it like once a year.

>> Teacup (01:01:24):
I like I tell my wife for like when, when we go
out like her, she'll dress up. She puts on
mega, you know, women do all that shit.
And I'll be wearing, I look like a bag ass
and I'm just like.

>> Producer (01:01:37):
Why aren't you getting dressed up for her? why aren't you
getting dressed up? She's going to all that effort for you.

>> Teacup (01:01:42):
I do. I never told you about the time where I was a window
washer. I never, yeah, see,
I dress up for her.

>> Producer (01:01:49):
What does being a window washer have to do with dressing up?

>> Chip (01:01:51):
yeah, I'm confused.

>> Teacup (01:01:54):
It was sexual time.

>> Chip (01:01:58):
So I just, I was like, what?

>> Producer (01:02:01):
We're not talking about role playing. Leave it to a guy to go
sex. Of course you went there. but
she gets dressed up for your dates and you don't.

>> Teacup (01:02:09):
Yeah, so what I do is, and really, I'm only
kidding.

>> Chip (01:02:12):
Fair.

>> Producer (01:02:13):
That's not fair.

>> Teacup (01:02:14):
So really, I'm only kidding. You know, and usually what I'll say
is, I'm like, hey, ah, you know, you're representing me. You
know, you're, you.

>> Chip (01:02:22):
Did you just say that out loud?

>> Teacup (01:02:23):
You are the face he did smack. It's okay. I
said it's joking. Sweetness will come on the show and
be like, yes, Dustin is not
a scumbag. He loves me,
you know, but,

>> Producer (01:02:37):
what do you think she would do if you got all
dressed up? You put on a suit, a linen suit
to take her for dinner on fifth ave.

>> Teacup (01:02:45):
I've done this a bunch of times. We do it, we do it all the time. I'm bougie
as fuck. I love eating down there.

>> Producer (01:02:50):
So you do get dressed up.

>> Teacup (01:02:51):
Yeah.

>> Producer (01:02:51):
Take her out. Okay. Okay. All right. I was feeling bad for sweetness
for a second. I was like, is she, I'm just.

>> Chip (01:02:57):
Imagining them sitting at one of those tables on
Fifth Ave. And she's there in some red
dress and everything, all.

>> Producer (01:03:03):
Bootstrap, her gorgeous blonde hair.

>> Chip (01:03:05):
And he's just sitting there in some old, like,
stained gym shorts.

>> Teacup (01:03:10):
Yeah. Ah. And then I'm like, God damn, woman.
You know?

>> Producer (01:03:14):
Please don't ever, don't ever.

>> Teacup (01:03:18):
And there's that hillbilly for you, Kylie woman.
See, again, I'm dressing up for her now. I'm a
hillbilly. You know, I think you both.

>> Producer (01:03:30):
Need to record our next video session wearing
tuxes.

>> Chip (01:03:34):
I don't own a tux. I've got this. The suit
jacket.

>> Teacup (01:03:38):
I will, I've, you know, I got,
I got a shit ton of suits.

>> Producer (01:03:44):
There should only be suits from this point forward.

>> Chip (01:03:47):
Oh my gosh.

>> Teacup (01:03:48):
Fine, fine.

>> Chip (01:03:49):
We shouldn't have done this.

>> Teacup (01:03:50):
We could have done that, but that's not
comfortable. And I want to be comfortable
and I think,
and you know what we talked about, like, I've done all kinds
of work, have all kinds of jobs and experiences in
that realm. And I used to sell cars
and the guy when I was
being trained in that, the trainer said,

(01:04:12):
don't ever judge anybody by the way they're dressed. You know, you tell
a story about how some dude came in one day and
he looked like a bag ass with his board shorts
and his muscle, shirt on with his flip
flops, and like he's buying
a hundred thousand dollar car with the cash that's in the backpack
that's with him. He's like, so you can't judge people by

(01:04:32):
that.

>> Chip (01:04:33):
They told us the same thing. And I worked at West Marine because we'd
had same kind of thing. This dude came in in like board
shorts and aethereze tank top from Walmart. Like, I
recognize them because I had seen them on the rack at Walmart.

>> Teacup (01:04:44):
Now, obviously you gotta read the room
if you're going to a board
meeting. You don't go to a board
meeting looking like a bag of ass.
But I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and I'm gonna say that most of the
people listening probably aren't going into board meetings.
But, you know, show up to your place of business looking

(01:05:05):
respectable as the place of business
requires. It's real fucking easy.

>> Producer (01:05:10):
I don't know, I kind of miss the days where,
and because I'm old enough that I remember these days, and I grew
up in the south, so I remember these days where if you were out in
public, people were dressed
nicely.

>> Teacup (01:05:22):
Yeah.

>> Producer (01:05:23):
Regardless of poor, rich, it didn't matter. I mean,
yes, there were differences depending on wealth,
status, but everyone was dressed
well, as well as they could be.

>> Teacup (01:05:33):
They were wearing slacks, a button down.

>> Producer (01:05:35):
Shirt, wearing dresses and all that. Now that being
said, I really enjoy running around in my flip flops and stuff like
that, so, you know, I have that too. But I don't
know, it seemed like we all behaved a little bit
better when we took a little bit more care
about what we looked like out in public.

>> Teacup (01:05:52):
But I think I saw a lot of young men are gonna have a problem
with this, and only because how are
they gonna tell how fat an ass
is if it's not in yoga pants,
you know, I mean, or
little baby shorts or, I mean,
listen,

>> Producer (01:06:10):
You will pry my jumper for my cold, dead
fingers. I have those there. I don't even know what we call them, but
they're so incredibly comfortable. And I get it,
I get it. I get the whole comfort thing,
but I don't know. I act
differently when I'm dressed up versus when I'm just
in running around my romper, do you not?

>> Chip (01:06:30):
Oh, no, I definitely do. I go, dude, the moment
that, that, the moment that
vest goes on, right. Instantly I'm like,
I'm a gangster.

>> Producer (01:06:39):
Do you.

>> Chip (01:06:40):
Nothing can hurt me.

>> Producer (01:06:41):
You act differently when you put on your uniform and go fight. You act
differently when you put on.

>> Chip (01:06:45):
Dude, I put that flat cap on.

>> Teacup (01:06:47):
And what, so, and I used to go to these events and
do security at these events. And we, like,
me and the guys I worked with, all tattooed,
big bearded fuckers.
And, you know, if we were eating breakfast in the hotel we were
staying at in the lobby, everybody's wearing their shorts and t shirts and
everybody's covered in tattoos. They got big beards, looking all
bushy and shit, and they look like fucking

(01:07:10):
animals. But then when it's event time.
Mm Everybody's in a suit,
tie, they got their hair, everybody, everything looks nice.

>> Producer (01:07:18):
And did people treat you differently and look at you differently when you were in the
suit?

>> Teacup (01:07:21):
Now we were still big as fuck.

>> Chip (01:07:23):
Well. And I bet though, they,
they acted a little bit differently too, though. Not
just because it was a professional setting, but like, also, you know, there's that
thing of, I look good, I look the
part, you know, that kind of thing.

>> Producer (01:07:36):
You know, you don't feel like you got more respect when you were
in the suit versus in the board shorts.

>> Teacup (01:07:41):
And I mean, maybe I've done, but I've also done events where I
wasn't wearing a suit. And, I mean, they still did, people
still did whatever, you know, we were supposed to do.

>> Chip (01:07:49):
So, I mean, to be fair, you're also, if they
didn't, if they were not polite to you.

>> Teacup (01:07:55):
Oh, no. You know, you weren't beating people at these events,
you know, although some people did.
I mean, it depends, you know, shit
happens.

>> Chip (01:08:03):
It's like, there was that one time, right?

>> Teacup (01:08:05):
There's probably a couple times where something weird happened
and somebody ended up getting their ass beat or something.

>> Chip (01:08:10):
Something he said, but I can't casually says,
right, but I can't comment on that.

>> Teacup (01:08:16):
You know, it's like, it's like, like being a bouncer
or something, you know, you, there's
events, you know, where.

>> Chip (01:08:24):
You have to move somebody
to somebody against their will.

>> Producer (01:08:29):
So for next episode, I think you guys should dress
up, and then we'll see if you
are different on that episode than you were on this one.

>> Teacup (01:08:37):
Okay.

>> Chip (01:08:39):
Okay, I'm done.

>> Teacup (01:08:40):
There's gonna be a difference.

>> Chip (01:08:42):
Probably not, because it's you and I talking. I don't think
so. I
highly doubt that it would be much different.

>> Teacup (01:08:50):
All right, hold on.

>> Chip (01:08:51):
I'll actually do my hair. They'll see my hair.

>> Teacup (01:08:54):
That's gonna do. For our next up. What are we doing for our next episode?
I cuz if we're gonna do this, I love
this idea,
but I want to bring somebody else in that is unaware of
that idea
to sit with us.

>> Producer (01:09:10):
Okay.

>> Teacup (01:09:11):
Okay.

>> Producer (01:09:12):
We can do it. We can add a third.

>> Teacup (01:09:14):
And because we need. We need
a placebo. We need.
We need somebody that doesn't know, that's not in on
it.

>> Producer (01:09:23):
Okay.

>> Chip (01:09:24):
You need to be somebody that doesn't listen to this, then.
Actually, no.

>> Producer (01:09:28):
Get one of the girls from the doctor's office.

>> Chip (01:09:31):
No, obviously they don't listen to it.

>> Teacup (01:09:33):
They're gonna. Yeah, they're gonna listen there.

>> Producer (01:09:36):
you wanna see if they react, how they react to you?

>> Teacup (01:09:39):
Well, yeah. Cause you said. You said
that we ourselves are gonna act differently.

>> Producer (01:09:44):
That's right.

>> Teacup (01:09:45):
And then that also, didn't I find that people
treated me differently.

>> Producer (01:09:49):
Oh, there you go. Look at there.

>> Teacup (01:09:51):
Oh, hell yeah.
You are. You are thirsty, right?
We weren't. We weren't gonna give Stella any. Any
kind of airtime, but. But they
are delicious. So.

>> Producer (01:10:08):
See what happens when you record? When there's a poker game going
on?

>> Teacup (01:10:11):
You, know, we should. We should play
poker.

>> Producer (01:10:15):
Well, okay.

>> Teacup (01:10:16):
Those guys, we could do that on the next episode. Those guys look like friends, though.
I'd want to take money. Like, I want to
play for keeps. I don't want to just be, like, sitting there throwing fake chips
around. That's not fun.

>> Producer (01:10:27):
We could organize a poker night and you could record. You guys have a
hard enough time staying on track when you're not doing anything else. I
can't imagine you stay.

>> Chip (01:10:35):
We wouldn't be able to actually talk about anything.

>> Teacup (01:10:36):
No, it would just be record. It would just be record and it would
be. It would be a show about people playing
poker and what that looks like. I think that that's
interesting.

>> Chip (01:10:46):
It'd be cool if we could find some, like,
because they lost all their money.
Oh, heck yeah.
That'd be cool. But it would be cool, like, if
we had a whole episode on. Just on poker. And,
like, we add someone, like a professional poker
player, come and be finding us

(01:11:07):
one.

>> Producer (01:11:08):
Bonus, points if she's female.
You both lost your minds for a second.

>> Chip (01:11:14):
Yeah, because we get wrecked.

>> Teacup (01:11:16):
All right, I'll ask Barbie. And I'll ask you, Ariel,
but I think my wife's gonna get upset.
Fuck it.

>> Producer (01:11:23):
I think you should have your wife on here.

>> Teacup (01:11:25):
That would be cool. Do you want sweetness on her?

>> Chip (01:11:28):
I'm about to get rich. I'm
not. I'm about to get that. I'm about to get that other Xbox. I wanted the big
one.

>> Producer (01:11:34):
That could be kind of fun. Especially if you dress up
and don't.

>> Teacup (01:11:37):
Tell her, like, hey,
sweetness, you gotta meet me over here.

>> Chip (01:11:42):
Dude, I'll get a new hat for that. No lie. I'll go, I'm
going. I'll go to that store, and I will get a new hat.

>> Producer (01:11:47):
No, it's like, it's a nightmare if we show up and the other
people are dressed above us.

>> Chip (01:11:52):
That's a nightmare for a woman above
you.

>> Producer (01:11:55):
Yeah. If they dressed up at a level
higher than what we dressed, if we walk into
it.

>> Teacup (01:12:01):
See, she looked at me all crazy when I said, sweetness, you're
representing us. You are the face of us. Yeah,
yeah, she looked at me crazy. But women get
upset because we're not.

>> Producer (01:12:11):
Doing it for you, we're doing it for us.

>> Chip (01:12:13):
You just said that she got all dressed up for him.
You said that. I said, if there are receipts on that SD
card.

>> Producer (01:12:19):
I said, if we walk into an
occasion and we are not dressed
as well as everybody else. Like, if I walked into a
business event, okay, and everybody else is
in suits and, you know, I'm in just regular
slacks and a top and a blouse, I'm going. I'm probably
gonna turn around and walk back out. I'm not gonna stay in there if I'm not dressed at
the level of everybody else's.

>> Chip (01:12:41):
I mean, it's uncomfortable if you notice that, right? But it's not
like, get out and leave.

>> Teacup (01:12:45):
No, that would be fucking awful.

>> Producer (01:12:47):
It's awful. It is absolutely awful. Or if I showed
up in blue jeans and a shirt, because, hey, it's Friday, casual
Friday, and everybody else is still in suit, I'm leaving.

>> Chip (01:12:56):
Oh, well, that's different. I'm talking, like, if they, you know, if
everyone else is in, like, you know, long sleeve,
button down type things, no ties or anything. But then, like, I
come in in a polo, like, that's a little weird.

>> Teacup (01:13:07):
I was out of.

>> Chip (01:13:07):
I could get away with it.

>> Teacup (01:13:09):
Was that a funeral? And, we did darken
the mood.

>> Chip (01:13:12):
Dang.

>> Teacup (01:13:13):
No, no, it's funny.

>> Producer (01:13:15):
How is that a funeral? No, no, it's funny.

>> Teacup (01:13:17):
I was at a funeral and, it was
my father in law's mother had
passed and so
he's such a cool guy
and he's just like, son, if you want to, you know, wear whatever you
want. You want to be comfortable, wear what you want. I was wearing chucks
and to a funeral, let me
live. I was wearing chucks. I was

(01:13:40):
wearing, you know, what.

>> Chip (01:13:42):
You wear at a funeral.

>> Teacup (01:13:44):
Just let me live.

>> Chip (01:13:45):
I think that's out of respect to the
dead, dude.

>> Teacup (01:13:48):
No, it's not. no, you're not there for the dead. You're there for the people that are
mourning the dead. The person's dead.
They're not even there. Why would you.

>> Chip (01:13:56):
Oh, yeah, they're there. They're sitting there watching that you walk in the room. They're gonna be
like, oh, this mother. Like, I
would be upset if I'm sitting, if I'm sitting on
top of my casket watching everybody come in. Right as a ghost.
I'm watching everybody come in. And then I see you come in and
chucks. I'm gonna be like, are you kid? You're gonna come up and go, you.

>> Teacup (01:14:13):
Wouldn'T have better things to do?

>> Chip (01:14:16):
Oh, no. I look forward to the day.
I am going to my funeral and I'm gonna see firstly who shows up.

>> Teacup (01:14:23):
No, I don't want to be disappointed.

>> Producer (01:14:25):
Oh, heck no.

>> Chip (01:14:27):
I don't think I could.

>> Teacup (01:14:29):
Cuz I have these grandiose ideas about how, like
many people show up and I'll be so sad when it's like
only family.

>> Chip (01:14:35):
Oh, no. I'd be sitting there. However
it goes, it's a spectacle to me. You're dead, who
cares? You're, you finished the game. The game's over.
You just get to sit here and watch the rest of your spectating the game.

>> Teacup (01:14:47):
Yeah, but all these fuckers are coming with you at some point,
so you got to be all.

>> Chip (01:14:51):
And then you get to make fun of them when they get there because, like, remember at my funeral
when you.

>> Producer (01:14:54):
Did this, that's gonna matter what you.

>> Teacup (01:14:56):
Alright, so I was wearing a suit.

>> Producer (01:14:59):
Okay, all right.

>> Teacup (01:15:01):
If I remember, that's a vibe.

>> Chip (01:15:02):
That's a vibe.

>> Teacup (01:15:03):
And I had, I was wearing a hat and we
were inside.

>> Producer (01:15:07):
What kind of hat?

>> Teacup (01:15:08):
I was kind of cold. I was cold. It was cold. We, it was up in Ohio.

>> Chip (01:15:11):
What kind of hat?

>> Teacup (01:15:12):
It was, it was a scally.

>> Chip (01:15:14):
Captain, I don't know, flat cap,
that kind of.

>> Producer (01:15:17):
Oh, okay, all Right, yeah, that's fine.

>> Teacup (01:15:20):
So. But we were inside, but I was cold,
I'm bald, I'm cold and I'm in Ohio.
You know, this isn't my, you know, space.

>> Chip (01:15:30):
I bet you had one wool one time, huh?

>> Teacup (01:15:32):
No. My wife's aunt was like, hey, what the fuck is wrong with
you?

>> Chip (01:15:40):
Really want to get into that right now?

>> Teacup (01:15:43):
You know, like, I'd like to give you
a list. Yeah. Like this. I, was built for
this. Cuz my grandfather, when he was alive, he'd do this to me all
time. What the fuck? What are you stupid
or something? Of course, pop. Why else would
I do the things I do and shit? But
she said, she was like, what is wrong with you? Why are you wearing your

(01:16:04):
hat? You're inside. Why don't you take that off? I was
like, well, actually know what I was, I didn't even have a
jacket. I don't think I was wearing a sweater
and pants. But, my, you know, my father in law
is wearing whatever the hell he wanted. He was like, son, I'm wearing whatever the hell I
want. And I was like, fuck yeah,
dude. I love him.

>> Chip (01:16:24):
To be fair, I'd want the same thing at my funeral.
I'd be cool if people came in sweatpants.

>> Teacup (01:16:29):
His sister was upset. His sister thought, like how you said
at first, like, it was rude. And I, because I'm supposed to be
there representing, you know, you know, showing respect for
the.

>> Chip (01:16:38):
And I think it depends on who's it.

>> Teacup (01:16:40):
But in my.

>> Chip (01:16:40):
For, in my, do they care?

>> Teacup (01:16:42):
Listen, here's. In my
view, I wasn't there for the person that was
upset with me. I was there for my father in
law. So if he says, oh, this is what you're
gonna wear, and I'm cool with it,
then fuck yeah. I give two fucks what anybody else says.
Doesn't matter to me. I'm just like, I'm just like,

(01:17:03):
yeah. She said, take your hat off. And I'm like, eh, it's kind of
chilly. She said it again. And I'm
like, I'm just looking around, like, is she serious?

>> Chip (01:17:11):
It's a little brisk.

>> Producer (01:17:12):
Who was she in relation to the dead person?

>> Teacup (01:17:16):
That was my father in law's sister, my wife's aunt, my
father in law's sister.

>> Producer (01:17:20):
So the sister of the dead person asked you to
take your hat off. Did it not dawn on you that, you know,
it might? She's going through a rough time. Her sister is
dead, and this is bothering her.

>> Chip (01:17:30):
It's not about her.

>> Producer (01:17:32):
Okay, but to be kind. I understand. I get what you're
saying, but this woman has lost her sister.
She's letting you know that you're
creating a problem in her mind. She's maybe
think for a second. Of course this
woman would be acting your rascal.

>> Teacup (01:17:47):
I don't know. She said something, rude to me,
like, seconds after this.

>> Producer (01:17:53):
Of course she would. Like.

>> Chip (01:17:54):
You know what would have been the best answer to that?

>> Teacup (01:17:56):
She might as well.

>> Chip (01:17:56):
Do you want it?

>> Teacup (01:17:57):
Yeah, like, do you need it?

>> Chip (01:17:58):
It's cold.

>> Teacup (01:17:59):
Yeah, I don't get. I. Listen, I. That's
fine. Again, moot. When we talked about this
before, everybody has their experience. I'm trying to have
mine.

>> Producer (01:18:09):
Yeah, but you just said you didn't care who was in that casket.

>> Teacup (01:18:12):
No, it's not that I didn't care who was in the casket.
I did care about the person that was in the casket. She's a very sweet
woman. I
would have worn the typical stuff,
but my father in law was like,
son, don't do that.

>> Chip (01:18:28):
The person who invited him.

>> Teacup (01:18:30):
Yes, I was. I was there for
him. I wasn't there for any. Well, I'm gonna be honest. I
wasn't there for anybody else. I didn't give two fucks about anybody else that was
there.

>> Producer (01:18:39):
See, I feel like at funerals, there's a
hierarchy.

>> Teacup (01:18:42):
Yeah.

>> Producer (01:18:42):
Okay. Of people who matter.

>> Teacup (01:18:44):
Yeah.

>> Producer (01:18:44):
yeah.

>> Chip (01:18:44):
Ah.

>> Producer (01:18:44):
So it's like the immediate people, the people who are closest to the
dead person. What they want, I'm gonna be.
And nobody else does. Here's what they want.

>> Teacup (01:18:53):
Here's, you know, maybe some. Maybe some, you know, extra
information I didn't give, so, you know, me and my
wife, you know, we're getting pretty serious. We're going on
like. Like 18 years
married. So it's getting
real.

>> Producer (01:19:07):
You know, it's, getting real.

>> Chip (01:19:11):
Marriage is almost an adult.

>> Teacup (01:19:12):
That was the first time that I had met her
aunt.

>> Producer (01:19:17):
Why?

>> Teacup (01:19:20):
Fucking fine. I don't. I don't know. I don't ask questions like
that. That's not my
business.

>> Chip (01:19:27):
They say your business?

>> Teacup (01:19:28):
No, I don't give a fuck. My wife tells me we're gonna go somewhere. We go
somewhere. If the people are there that I need to know, I
know them. If I don't need to know them, then they're not there.
That's how I see it. I'm. Listen, I'm having my experience.

>> Chip (01:19:41):
If you.

>> Teacup (01:19:42):
If you. If you don't introduce yourself, to
me, and we're fucking family somehow.
That's okay.

>> Chip (01:19:49):
You don't go introduce yourself, huh?

>> Producer (01:19:51):
I feel like if you're not in that primary group of
people, the close people to the people in the cat, the
people who are standing up by the casket receiving the
mourners. That's what I'm talking about. They're the only ones that
matter. And I feel like if you're not in that group
and you're making, out of anything,
then you should be kicked out immediately. If you have
anything to say about anything and you're not in that

(01:20:13):
group, then you're not governing yourself and you need to leave.

>> Teacup (01:20:16):
Yeah, yeah. but I think what you're saying would be like, if I'm not
in that group and I'm going and complaining.

>> Producer (01:20:22):
About, like, somebody, she was in that
group.

>> Teacup (01:20:25):
I mean, she was, it was her mom that was, if
she's in that.

>> Producer (01:20:29):
Group and she doesn't want you to wear a hat, then take the hat off.

>> Teacup (01:20:31):
I mean, I was there at the behest of my father in law.

>> Producer (01:20:34):
Is he in the group?

>> Teacup (01:20:35):
Yeah.

>> Producer (01:20:36):
Okay, well, he's in the group, so. Okay.

>> Teacup (01:20:37):
He said, no, son, don't do that.

>> Producer (01:20:39):
That's right. Well, if he's in the group, then he's in the group.

>> Teacup (01:20:41):
I just like, yeah, I'm not rude. I'm not just, like, telling people
to fuck off.

>> Producer (01:20:45):
I'm just saying, like, you and I were at a family funeral, and
the grown children were by the casket. And
the grown children weren't really taught how to dress well,
and so they didn't.

>> Chip (01:20:55):
That was interesting.

>> Producer (01:20:56):
And the extended family had 50,000
things to say about that. To the hundred and somewhat, 200,
300 people who came to the funeral.

>> Chip (01:21:04):
There were more than that.

>> Teacup (01:21:07):
See, they were dressed.

>> Producer (01:21:08):
She's in that. I can't believe she'd do that to her mother. It was that
kind of thing. And I kept thinking, look, girl, don't.

>> Teacup (01:21:13):
We have something better to do?

>> Producer (01:21:14):
Right. Like, if you can't govern your mouth,
then maybe you shouldn't be here.

>> Teacup (01:21:19):
Now, I'm also, if you're that, if.

>> Chip (01:21:21):
You'Re here and you're that worried about
her, not, the person who's in.

>> Producer (01:21:26):
The casket and what you're concerned about is what she's
wearing, not that she just lost her mother.

>> Chip (01:21:30):
Yeah.

>> Producer (01:21:31):
That's what you're concerned about is what she's wearing to mourntain the loss of her
mother. Maybe you just shouldn't be here.

>> Teacup (01:21:35):
I think I carried that casket a little bit, I think.

>> Producer (01:21:38):
There you go. Did you carry it with your hat on?

>> Teacup (01:21:40):
Fuck yeah. He
was giving me strength to Samson, not
have his hair when he's ripping chains and tearing
down walls and shit.

>> Chip (01:21:51):
He probably looked pretty cool. He probably did with
the, with the suit, with the chucks in the. Yeah.
Carrying a kit. Yeah, I'd look pretty cool.

>> Teacup (01:21:59):
I, I think I was.

>> Chip (01:22:00):
Wearing a sweater, but I still, that'd be
pretty.

>> Teacup (01:22:03):
Yeah. I'm not an asshole. I think,
like, if it wasn't for my father in law saying those things.
I told, I told my, I think I had a suit for,
I I would never do that.

>> Producer (01:22:14):
Mm

>> Teacup (01:22:14):
I understand. Like I said, it. Read the fucking room.
Yeah, yeah. But if the room's telling me,
son.
Get like me. Yes,
sir. You know, I'm, who am I to argue with him? M he's
in the, he's in charge of that shit.

>> Producer (01:22:29):
So who's telling you just to wrap this up? So these
days, in that moment, in
that situation, you had somebody that you respected who was
saying dress in this way, and so you did, which is awesome.
So in your adult life,
are you just deciding that for yourself? Are you looking at
what other people around you are wearing? What's deciding

(01:22:49):
how you're dressing?

>> Chip (01:22:50):
Every day, different every time.

>> Teacup (01:22:53):
Well, listen, I've seen this. I've had people, like,
come up to job interviews
and they're wearing, you know, trash to
a job interview. Now I had a job and I was doing code
enforcement for the county I lived in.
And I had the job. I was
working for them. This is before I was contracting.

(01:23:15):
but it was like a part time position.
So once it became a full time position,
they opened it up again. And I had to apply for that
position if I wanted to stay with them.
And I had rapport with them. I had been there for
like six, seven months, something like that already. I was doing a pretty good
job. I had good reviews and stuff like that.

(01:23:36):
My chances of losing that job were pretty slim. I could have
went in my work uniform to that interview.
And I had a beard, it was much shorter, but I
shaved my face. I put on a suit, I changed it in the
parking lot, put on a suit, and I went to my job
interview because, it's a fucking
job interview. I've seen people come to job interviews. They look fucked up.

(01:23:57):
They didn't get the job. So, like, you got to be able
to read the room. Hopefully,
hopefully you have somebody to help guide you.
Not, everybody gets to experience a funeral or
a yemenite, you know, ah, an interview where you need
to. I don't care if you're applying at
Walmart, you should wear a shirt and

(01:24:17):
tie. You might not have to wear a jacket.

>> Chip (01:24:20):
When I applied at the hardware store, I went in a button down
shirt and tucked it in and nice shoes and did my
hair and everything.

>> Teacup (01:24:27):
Now, when I seen this jackassery, it was in
California. and,
you know, honestly, like, they. I mean, there's different dress codes
and all that stuff. And they have this thing. It's called California casual.
I'm almost California casual right now, you
know, and this would be almost considered professional
in some settings. So.

>> Producer (01:24:48):
So read the room.

>> Teacup (01:24:49):
Read the room. Have an idea. And, like,
you know, Sometimes. Sometimes you're gonna fuck up a
little bit. Okay.

>> Chip (01:24:57):
We learn.

>> Teacup (01:24:58):
We learn. We're gonna live. We're gonna find another day. It's gonna be all
right.

>> Producer (01:25:02):
I'm just leaving. If I'm not dressed appropriately.

>> Teacup (01:25:07):
No. How do you get the hors d'oeuvres? The fuck?

>> Producer (01:25:12):
Okay, next show, you guys are dressing up.

>> Chip (01:25:15):
All right, I'm down.

>> Teacup (01:25:16):
All right. We'll talk about who we'll bring
in.

>> Chip (01:25:19):
Yeah.

>> Teacup (01:25:20):
For this. All right. All right, I'm gonna
go.

>> Chip (01:25:23):
Good night, everybody.

>> Teacup (01:25:24):
Bye.
