(01:00):
Right wrecks, whatever you want to call it. Whatever you
call it, doesn't matter whatever you call it. I gotta
watch out. I over exerted myself there running up the stairs,
and I can't be doing that because my heart's already weak.
My favorite team in Chicago, Bears, are gonna give me
a heart attack every week, and I'll explain that coming up.

(01:23):
But what's on top of that. It is my son
who is Yeah, he's treating everything like a horror movie lately,
scaring the shit out of everybody. Oh yeah, he got
me good the other day. And he's like me, I
like scaring people too, so he's just like his dad.
But he got me good the other day. Holy crap,

(01:45):
he get me good, so good, I almost knocked him
out like boom, like a right hook, bomb, like I'm
in a boxing boom. Oh my god, this is what happened.
I was in the bathroom. I was washing my hands.
I was deep in thought. I was in my thought

(02:06):
like Okay, what's my next step? And sometimes you know,
sometimes you know, for someone like myself, who you know,
has ADHD, you know that my brain when I'm a
deep in thought, I'm focused on the next step, the
next step. And he scared the shit out of me.

(02:29):
Scared the shit out of me because I was deep
in thought. I finished washing my hands and I came
out of the bathroom and he goes, I don't know,
he jumps, he goes boo, and I was like fuck,
And I almost gave the right hook. I was like,
you know how close I was from knocking you out?

(02:50):
Holy god, Oh my god, he's been doing it. He's
been doing it, I tell you, Holy crap. Yeah, and
he gets me good too. On those YouTube videos. You
know those YouTube videos were like you're watching like a
cargo around a hill and then all of a sudden
it scares you. Uh, that's what he's been doing too,

(03:10):
and like, uh, I know it's coming, but it still
gets me every time. It still gets me every time,
every time. And have you ever been scared? Ever been
scared on on an adult gummy? Have ever been scared

(03:31):
on a gummy? I'm not speaking from experience, and you
can't see me winking here on the microphone, but one
time it was boo or whatever, and I was like fuck,
Like I don't know what happened, but my body just
stopped working.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
And I was like ah, like for two minutes, because
you know, your surroundings are all like, you're all relaxed,
like ah, somebody told me that that happened to him.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh my god. And then he scared me about his phone,
his phone being cracked. So Nemo Nemo, our cat, who's
his best buddy. They're they're buddies. Nemo hops into bed
with him, and Nemo lays there and he plays on
his phone for him, which is adorable. Uh, not the
scary part. The scary part. He's gonna get knocked out.
But he has this like, uh, the video that he

(04:36):
shows is like a it's like either a bird or
fish and horse. Nemo loves it and he keeps like
hitting the screen like I'm gonna get you, bird, I'm
gonna get you. And then he did it one time
and I'm, you know, laying next to him in bed
and he goes, oh my god, he cracked my phone.
I'm like, what is it just kidding? I'm like, mother fucker,
swhere the guy, swhere, the guy. My heart can't take it.

(04:59):
By my heart can't take it. Okay. I said last
week on this program that at the Chicago Bears, give me,
you know, one more of those like close games like
Cincinnati or like the one in Vegas or any of
them this year, my heart's gonna stop. I'm, you know,
bad enough. We're close, and I'm I may need a cardiologist.
I may need it, like most Bear fans who may
need to see the heart doctor. And they had their

(05:21):
close one another close one. They beat the New York Giants.
They came back. Williams was awesome. So all you killer
william haters whatever, he was doing great and it was
just awesome. And they came back and they one and yeah,
everyone was excited and yeah, but yeah it's good. These
close ones, I tell you, these close ones will make

(05:43):
your heart heart stop. I tell you, I tell you
because I don't think my heart could take any much more.
I can't take much more of it. I can't take
much more, you know. I'm recording this once again before
they played the Vikings. I'm hoping like the Vikings is
like a forty two to seven kind of victory because
I'll tell you all right now, man oh man, that

(06:06):
chest woof, woof, woof, woof, wolf woff, I'll tell you,
oh my god, I can't cats. It was not a dog.
It was me doing a wolf wolf wuff. Relax. But yeah,
but it's also caused me to stress eat and I
try to eat some foods that are you know, obviously

(06:26):
with you know, being diabetic, lower carb, more vegetable related.
Uh you know, some some of that they would call
it quote unquote better fats, like you know, cashoes and
those kinds of things. I don't even know if that's tamed true.
I'd be just saying that because I ate cashoes and
I thought it'd be cool. I'd be like, oh yeah,
cashoes are a better fat and that is not probably right,
and if it is, don't quote me. I'm not a

(06:48):
nutritionist obviously. How many nutritionists are like, hey, I had
DK three weeks ago, it's not gonna happen. And I
didn't have three weeks ago. But anyway, I digest pun
intended this podcast sometimes it's stupid. Don't clip that anybody. Anyway.
So I had it and it's been in you know,

(07:10):
cashoes and spinach and dip, and I was like boom boom,
boo boom, and I was like sick. I was like,
what did I do? The stress eating is causing me
to feel sick. And then I've been bloated ever since
the cashew with spinach binge of twenty twenty five last week,

(07:31):
and as I was stress eating through the Bears game,
I don't think I've been able to wear any clothes
that are normal. I'm so bloated. I'm still bloated. I'm like,
fucking yeah, I'm bloated. I'm bloated, and my pants, you know,
my pants are beginning to you know, tear and rip
up top. I'll tell you. It's like I don't know,

(07:53):
like the way that my pants are are tearing and
in the spots that they're like tearing up. I'm like
a try to be up popular kid in high school.
Well the holes in their jeans. God, I tell you,
Oh my gosh, it's just it's just crazy to us.
It's crazy to just bloated, bloated, and I'm gonna say

(08:14):
something hopefully, Uh there's no uh you know, I'm not
gonna you know, get a ticket for this. But one
day I was so bloated, and and and let me
preface this, always safety first, safety first, my friends. But
I was so bloated, and I only had like a
five minute drive. I I couldn't even get the seatbelt on.

(08:34):
I couldn't get the seatbelt on. Okay, Now, granted, if
I got it to an accident, this this frame ain't
going anywhere, all right. I'm not flying through no window. Okay.
The only thing that could potentially happen at this point
is my belly hits the steering wheel and all the
cashews come out, so it'll be gross. But that's all
I could happen. That's all I can happen. But God, God,

(08:59):
oh mighty, and then you know, this is my thing
about you know, being you know, I'm big, I'm a
big guy. But can I have one complaint, and I've
complained about this before, Can I have the one complaint
of white T shirts? Why can't any company make a
white T shirt for fat people? Okay, this is what
I mean. I I am fat, right, And the white

(09:22):
T shirts that I buy are you know good? They're
good in length, you know, they fit good. And then
the neck it's like crumbled over. Can we make shirts
in the neck a little bit bigger so my you know,
my my my chin or my my like ten time
sized Adam sample doesn't push the neck over looks sloppy.

(09:47):
It's like wrinkled bacon bacon. I am fat, I know,
I am. I am. I'll tell you. But the one
thing you can't do for me and my fellow friends
that are a little robust, you know, you can't fat shame.
And I've seen a lot of fat shaming lately, a

(10:08):
lot of fat shaming on acts especially, And I know
I got into a little bit of an argument a
couple of weeks back with that person, and I wasn't
going to get into it again. But people have been,
you know, really shaming those who are a little bigger.
Us chubbos, okay, us chubbos and it's not right all right?
Another person as well, how can somebody get so fat?

(10:29):
And let me you know, I don't have a full
Like if this podcast the goal was not to get
it around twenty minutes each week, I could talk about it.
So I'm not going to go in too much detail.
But there's a lot of reasons. Sometimes it's a health condition, right.
Other times it's you know, eating for mental health, right,
stress eating, No, but like you know, anxiety and feelings

(10:51):
and those types of things. And you know what, at
the end of the day, if we can just sit
around and sit around and love of each other and
really just focus on being respectful, being nice, then this
world would be a better place. And it does not

(11:12):
matter if you're skinny, or if you're fat, or if
you're tall, or if you're short, or if you're short
and fat and have a beard and wear blue glasses
have a little bit of gray in that beard, it
doesn't matter. Okay, it doesn't matter. Let's not be mean
to anybody anymore. Let's not be mean, all right. I

(11:43):
bought chargers on Amazon. I bought chargers and of course
it was a pack of chargers, and mind doesn't work.
Of course, buying out of the five pack does not work.
Of chargers. And the reason why I bought chargers is
my family, my daughter. I love her, but she's very
hard in chargers. The way she sits or the way

(12:03):
you know, it stretches, and then all of a sudden,
like we can't have anybody use it, you know, because
if we do, like there's a potential of the house
starting on a fire or something. That's a little bit
of an overexaggeration, but there, you know, you can't have
the parts all all torn up, right, So we go
through chargers a lot, and I'm like, I am gonna
buy chargers. Everybody's going to get their own chargers. Everybody

(12:26):
then get their own like plug with it different colors,
and then we all know, and then we all could
have her own and because you know, because what happens is,
you know, she's in bed or whatever, laying down, has
her phone, or she's in the couch or you know whatever,
and then what happens, she stretches it, and then you know,
she gets the other charger, and then we have no chargers,
and you know, me you know, I have to have

(12:48):
my battery at least at eighty percent all the time.
I don't know why. I don't know who's gonna call me.
Maybe they're gonna tell me I want the lottery or
something like that. I don't know. I don't know, but
I'll tell you something though, being a dad, I've began
to I have been doing it for a while, I
will say, but I've been noticing it a little bit,

(13:09):
a little bit more of picking up some of my
dad's things. Like, for instance, I was watching some old
home movies and it's just so funny. It's so funny,
like you watch it. And I was playing Nintendo, and
you know, my dad had my little brother in the
other room, and he's like, I'll come back, you know,
I'll come back and play with you. And I just
see this whole thing like be going to like dad
oka in your bad He's like okay, and I'm like,

(13:31):
I start doing that, Like I picked up on like
the sigh, like like Dad's you know what I'm talking about?
This sil you don't even say anything like your kid
says something. You're like, I've been doing that lately. I've

(13:53):
been doing that like that the dad's side, and I
think my dad does it. And that's where I picked
it up from. Like you like you don't have anything
to say, You're like, I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

(14:17):
My son called me untz. I'm like, what the fuck's
and outs? I don't even know what the fuck it is?
Means old, that's what it means. Because ESPN or one
of these sports places said, oh, it's a battle of
the untz is you know, Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers
next week And I'm like, whoa man? Cool? I mean
cool maybe? And you know my son called me and
he's like that means old. I'm like, what the fuck

(14:39):
is that? You know? What? What? What? And I don't
know if this was an effort, an effort to like
show him that I am cool, But I j I
joined Sora AI. I joined And when I say that,
I didn't like sign up for the company like I
own Steak or you know stock and do it. No.
I signed up in an account with US or AI.

(15:01):
And I'll tell you right now, I am very obsessed.
I've been creating videos. So I got myself in these
videos and I'm gonna post something for Thanksgiving, so stay tuned,
which I know that was kind of a teaser. And
really you're like, I'm not gonna remember Thanksgiving. Shit, we're
gonna be doing so many things. But if you happen
to be on TikTok, you could see the things giving message.

(15:23):
But I've been doing all these crazy things, like I
have myself in there. I was able to capture Moose
and Nemo and they earn a lot of things, and
they're playing poker in one video and then they're you know,
like at a therapist office and another one, and then
there's me, you know if the Thanksgiving one walking a
parade route and their floats totally obsessed, totally fucking obsessed,

(15:44):
totally fucking obsessed. And I I, yeah, I love it.
It's I don't It's just it's so cool because remember
I was saying, I think last week that I don't
know what what's a real video, what's a fake video?
What what's this? Or it's that? And and I was like, well,
you know what, I'm just going to join the game.
Then I'm going to join the game. I'm not like posting.

(16:05):
I'm like, you know, every day at something and then
people are like, oh, is that real? I'm not doing that,
but you know, I'm having some fun. I'm watching some
of these videos and creating some of these sora Ai
stuff and it's just been fun. But I'm very obsessed.
I'm very obsessed right now. You know. If I think
of a scenario like oh my god, that's funny, and
then all of a sudden like, oh, I gotta put
this on, you know, So that's what I've been doing.

(16:29):
Oh that's funny. I tell you, I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed.
So I am glad that the government's been reopened. I
am at a lot of people who are working, you know,
who are getting paid, and it's good to have that
the government's reopened, and that's great. I did not know

(16:50):
in that you know, government reopening, there was a little
clause in there that they want to federally ban HEMP.
I got it. There was so much stuff that they
were going to ban or or are looking into that
I could even I could even uh, you know, put

(17:12):
it in my brain and sort it out. So there's
a little bit of a band I want to ban HEMP.
NFL wants to take away some prop bets for betting. Obviously,
Illinois is you know, and I think Pennsylvania too, and
I'm not too sure on that, but you know, they
want to, you know, keep taxing gambling, sports books, and

(17:38):
I'm like, what, like, like, okay, if you have an
X account or if you have a social media account,
you know how fucked up this world is, right, you
know how screwed up it is, right? And uh, you know,
if you're gonna start taking away things that you know,

(17:59):
kind of keep us all sane, whether it's what's next,
We're gonna go back and get rid of alcohol. We're
gonna ban alcohol, is what we're gonna do that next,
No alcohol anymore. You know, you're taking away like a hemp,
and you're taking away, like, you know, some of the
gambling stuff, Like people need these things to get through

(18:20):
shitty days or they need these things to you know,
I don't know, like hemp right, sometimes for anxiety or
being you know, sick, or or those things. And gambling
maybe it's just a fun thing to put, you know,
five dollars down and bet away, right, Like people need fun.

(18:41):
And I've noticed this trend where states and governments are
trying to take away all the fucking fun. All right,
those things are the reason why we don't form our
own perch. Okay, the perch is about to begin, like
we're not doing that ship all right, So it's it's

(19:03):
everything and and and I know, I know, I know
I was going to you know, not kind of going
back up a thing here, but uh, JB, good old
JB here in Illinois. Who is you know he puts
the heavy tax on sports books, but then he's at
the casino winning, winning millions of dollars. Uh. We like

(19:26):
to have fun. Well, I like to have fucking fun too,
but I don't like to be charged with these cents
every time I'm a fan duel. Okay he was, there
was an article, but he you know, he's kind of you.
He's kind of for the Hemp band. And let me
tell you something. I'm gonna put this as as clear
as I can, uh, whether it was maybe it is

(19:47):
health related or whatever. I rather take health advice from
Robert Kennedy Junior. And that's saying a lot. Okay, that's
saying a fuck a lot. What I'm trying to say is, uh,
this is like me telling you exercise tips. Like when
the government comes out of like we're gonna ban this,

(20:08):
We're gonna do this, we're gonna eat this, We're not
gonna do this. And are these people who are telling
us that are the most unhealthy people in the world.
That that's like me saying, all right, here's your exercise
tips for the day, here's your nutrition one oh one,
Like if you saw me do a video on that, Uh,
that might be the only time where I would expect
some fat shaping. Okay, it's look at the fuck you

(20:30):
can't take away? What's what's next? What the fuck's next?
What do you gonna take away? You can't take away everything?
All right? YouTube almost had ESPN away with the other back,
all right? Taking away all our fun lately? No more
HEMP gambling. Maybe we're gonna just get rid of gambling,
or we're gonna charge you know, twenty percent taxes on them.

(20:52):
The fuck? All right, we gotta live, we gotta have fun.
Don't take away our fun things, all right. Don't take
away our fun things. Don't take away our gambling, don't
take away our gummies. Maybe this is just me speaking
for me, but don't take away our fun stuff, all right,

(21:16):
Because these fucking people and government that are taking away
these fun things are the same fucking people that have
millions of dollars and they can have whatever they want.
The ones that don't, the ones that live the paychecks,
the paychecks. You know, we were trying to be relaxed.
We're trying to you know, coast coast through life, coast

(21:42):
through stresses. But taking away our fun, taking away our fun.
What's next? No podcasting either? Oh my god, oh my god,
I might if I would have saw that like thing
in there, I might have held the government you know,
close for for for long. And no, I'm only kidding

(22:05):
because there was a lot of people that do great
things in roles that weren't getting paid because of this
whole I hate you, you hate me, Nana Nana boo boo,
stick your head and do doo bullshit that we go
through every day in life. And I'm not trying to
be political. What I'm what I'm trying to say is

(22:28):
we back to the original point. We have to just
we have to love each other. We have to be respectful,
we have to be kind, we have to be nice,
and we have to be very smart on what we
are lawing up and what we're not liwing up, and
what our focus is on and what our focus is
not on and and right now when all aspects of politics,

(22:50):
whether you're on the left or whether you're on the right,
or whether you're in the middle, Uh, it is to
me becoming not for the people, but more for I
don't know, I don't I don't even know the reasoning, Like,
I don't know the reasoning. And maybe there is a
good reasons. Maybe they're like, well, you know, gambling addiction
is up. And maybe they're like, oh, you know, maybe

(23:11):
maybe there is a hamp addiction that's up, or the
products that are being made aren't very safe. But I
don't hear any of that. So you know, you guys
gotta do you at the end of the day, right,
you gotta do you. You gotta you gotta just do you.
And and you know, whatever whatever helps you and whatever
makes you happy. And and sometimes the government they want

(23:34):
to be the the you know, no fun police. They're
coming out there. They don't they want they want no joy.
But Jabe Pritzker trying to get a rid of some stuff.
What I would like to know is if that truly
was a gambling thing or if that was something else. Okay,

(23:58):
Golden toilet boy, tell yah all right. Let's hand on
a positive note, have a great rest of your week.
Go bears, Let's have some fun. Let's you know, well
we can. Let's gamble a little bit. If we like that,
Let's smoke a little bit. If we like that, let's

(24:19):
have a booze or two we like it. Maybe you
like chocolate, have some chocolate. Live your life, enjoy your life,
and I'll see you all back here next time. For
