Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Anyway Soap
Podcast. My name is Dylan Paladino.
You are listening to the only podcast that allows you to take
an hour long break from your own consciousness and get absolutely
injected into my world and my consciousness.
I get injected into your brain and you just get to.
Forget about everything and it's fantastic and you're happy to be
here and you made it through another week.
Give it up, give it up for yourselves and maybe some of you
are running the marathon right now.
I don't know. I'm.
I sure as hell I'm not. Congratulations to the Dodgers
for winning the World Series. I did not care at all, even
though I am from Lai, have 0 emotional connection to that
sport. But I watched it last night in a
bar and I got it. I almost got in a fight with a
random woman. Not really, just had a very
strange interaction with her. We'll talk about that.
What else are we going to talk about today?
We'll talk about City Sweeney's dress.
We'll talk about Billie Eilish giving money away and the shitty
time change that just hit all of us on this lovely Sunday,
November 2nd. Let's see anything else on the
agenda besides that. The marathon's going on.
Oh, we're also going to go over some calls.
Remember to call in 347-566-9741.
Call in for some advice. Call in to share a story about
something that happened during your, during your week, maybe
something cringe, whatever it is.
And it'll and, and we're, we're, you know, we're a community
here. This is a community podcast.
We're building a community together.
So we also do we, we also do follow-ups.
We've done that before and we'll do it again.
So if you call in or if you're leaving a message and we talked
about it, I gave you some advice.
You're going to. You're also allowed to leave a
message and. Give a follow.
Up and then and then we'll see how you're doing then.
So it really is just a one-of-a-kind podcast, The
great. A great time and let's let's
start it off as always, I do have at least 2 drinks.
I have my coffee and I have my water in a Mason jar and it's
it's going great and I'm going to try to drink.
Away. From the mic because I know that
it makes noise and some people listening don't like that and I
don't as well. Let's see, is anyone no one has
called. We, we've got a we've got a
couple calls where they call and then immediately hang up.
Hey, don't be so scared. Leave a message.
Have a good time. We're all we're all friends
here. I'll keep it anonymous.
Talked about a guy last week who found out he's gay kissing his
girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend.
All right, if someone can admit that.
You can, you can you, you can ask me whatever dumb question,
you know, Should I wipe sitting up or standing or standing
Sitting, sitting or standing up? I don't know.
And I think half the people, isn't it true that like half the
people in the world wipe standing up?
That's that's the thing, right? Amount of people wipe standing
up. By the way, I I did when I was
younger and I got flamed for it. But no one teaches you, no one
teaches you how to wipe your ass.
And, and, and I mean something maybe they do.
I wasn't taught and I don't know why, but I was just like, you
know, I, I feel like I can get better leverage that way.
I'm a tall drink of water. There's a lot of legs.
It was hurting my hip flexors to reach back there and figure it
out. Approximately 21 to 34% of
people wiped standing up. That's 1/3 of the population.
That's a lot. It's also funny that, you know,
like 3 times is the like 2 * 2 times the amount of people who
are going to vote for Andrew Cuomo wipe their ass standing
up. So that's pretty funny.
A large Reddit survey found 34% with a higher percentage of men
standing, 37% compared to women. Yeah, we all knew that.
Let's see how many people. Of course it's this fucking guy.
I'm not going to say his name because I don't want to shit on
him, but let's see things are just men are more likely to
stay. Yeah, it just feels feels like I
got this more solid base. This is August 6th, 950 people.
That's not a large enough sample size, but whatever, I'm going to
go with it because I'm I'm going with this with this bit.
And the first person answers wipe and someone goes laying
down. Man, so funny. 626 people said,
well, 66% of men answered. 6% of the, of the people they answer
were men. That makes sense.
Women are going to talk about that.
Yeah, 60% they wipe sitting down, 37 that's a, that's a,
that's a decent chunk of people that are still wiping standing
up. And you know what?
I salute you guys. Go for it.
But also take a seat. Take a load off, man.
This is God's time. Going in the bathroom is God's
time and you should sit down and do what we all do, which is go
on your phone and swipe. You know, the real reason why
I'm going to sit down and wipe my ass is so that I can swipe on
TikTok while I'm doing it. What are you talking about?
I'm going to stand up, No. I got to watch another video of
Squirtle dancing to some EDM song.
That's what I got to do. Anyway, Congrats to the Dodgers.
Good for you guys. I was, I was at this bar, so I
went to a bar to go watch with my friend and dude, sometimes I,
I really, and we talked about this before.
I really just oh, oh, oh, hold on.
It's the beginning of the podcast.
Guys. Remember to rate and review the
podcast. Spotify or Apple podcast?
Either one, honestly both. I'm looking at Spotify right
now, but I'm watching those reviews go up and if you're
listening and you're thinking I'm going to do it later, take
the 30 seconds to do it right now and write something
literally right. I listen to you, Dylan.
I did it as. The podcast began.
You know, and each week maybe I'll, I'll put a little, put a
little Easter egg so I can know when you listened and when you
reviewed. That'll be fun right and if
you're watching on YouTube, which I would love for you to do
because we're trying to get those numbers up.
We're trying to get the Subs up. I want to start being able to
monetize on there. Be sure to like the video
because when you like stuff on YouTube, this is just for you
guys to know. It's not even just for me.
When you like stuff on YouTube, you get fed it a lot more.
I thought you, if you just watched something, it would feed
it to you more, but you have to. When you like it, it really
goes, oh, you love this person and it sends you 50 of their
videos. So anyway, I was at this bar
last night and I'm sitting there and watching the game and I'm
with some of my friends. We're all from LA.
They're all Dodgers fans. We're enjoying watching the
game, but we're not like, you know, freaking jumping up and
down. We're being civilized about it.
We're not those fans that are going to, you know what?
We're not those fans. And if you're one of those fans,
it's fine, but do it in the appropriate place is all I'm
saying. Don't be screaming in a bar
where no one else is screaming. And if you're at a game, of
course you're supposed to scream.
If you're at a game and you're at a bunch of people and you're
not screaming and kind of just watching it calmly, even though
that's something I would probably do, I don't know, get
out of yourself. Scream a little bit.
Have some fun, damn it. Come on.
Oh man. So we're there, we're watching,
I'm talking to my friends. I'm a little tired and I just I
was just I just was yawning a little bit, but not out of and
I'm bored. I just was yawning, having a
good time. I mean, I was.
Having a good time and also happened to be yawning.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
This. Woman is looking at me and I am
watching the game and I just Yaw.
I just I just watch it and I go do that.
I'm watching the game, Eyes I'm I'm locked in.
And she just out of nowhere goes like wow, you guys are all here
to watch the game, but I've never seen like you guys must
are so bored. It's actually such a crazy
interaction. I don't remember how she started
it, but she basically just went. Why are you watching the game if
you're bored? And I went and I go, huh?
Excuse me, She goes. You're yawning.
All you guys came here to watch the all you guys came to the bar
to watch the game, but you're yawning.
I've never seen that before. And I was so like confused by
what was happening. Number one, I, I kind of just
want to be like, hey, why are you talking to me?
That's not the way you start an interaction.
I don't know you what? Like at least if you're going to
do that, you could be like, oh, are you, are you someone's
bored? But the game is kind of boring,
huh? And then you start the
conversation like that. But she she was like
investigating. Why are you yawning?
Why are you watching this game if you're bored?
It's basically what you said. And I go, I'm, I'm not, I'm not
bored. I'm I'm watching the game.
I'm just yawning because I'm tired.
But I'm having a good time with my friends.
She's like, yeah, but all you guys are here.
You don't even seem that excited to watch the game.
Like I don't even care about baseball when I but when I watch
baseball like. I I, I TuneIn, I, I, I lock in I
I want to watch the game. I'm not yawning.
You guys must be bored. Why are you even watching the
TV? If you're bored with the game,
you shouldn't have come here. And, and I'm like, so confused.
You've ever, you've ever been like talking to someone and they
and you don't really know what like you want to just go, what
are you, what are you talking about?
And they're like, oh, I'm sitting, you go, no, no, no,
like, what is the point? What what are you trying to?
I should have said that, but it's pretty aggressive.
It's an aggressive thing to do. I've done it before and I
sometimes like doing it, but I don't want to be.
Always the aggressive guy. That's like, you know what the
fuck you talking about? But I did.
Kind of want to just go, what is your, what's your goal right
now? But it's that's a very that's a
very aggressive thing to do in a conversation.
But I don't know you. You're a random person.
You're a stranger. I should have said that because
if I had gone, hey, what is your goal right now?
She probably would have been like, I don't, I don't, I don't,
I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out
why you're yawning and I go why? And you know what it is?
It's because she was having a bad time with her boyfriend that
she was there with because we kept going back and forth and
kind of not understanding what what the point she was trying to
make, which was you're bored. Stop watching the game to where
I finally just was like, but OK, like, yeah, we're, we're
watching it like, like what? What are you trying to say?
And she goes, that's it. That's the end of the
conversation. I was just trying to say that
you're you're you're bored and you're watching the game and
like, why? I can't believe you guys are
yawning. And I was like.
Our car and then her boyfriend walked up and then they he goes
we're leaving and she just got up and left both of their fully.
Drank drinks. It's not a really, it's not a
very funny story, honestly. But he was just so strange and
she walked away. There's so many people that I
want to be like, hey, you need to learn how to be social with a
human being. What are you talking?
How is how do you how do you leave that dude?
That's the kind of interaction that I would leave the bar and
be thinking about for two weeks. Why did I say that?
Why did I start the conversation like that?
Why was that being so weird? Why did I even care that they
were yawning? Why?
Why can I? I would literally just be like
why can I not like this is what's so annoying about having
about being socially aware at all and having social anxiety is
like she's probably never going to think about that and I'm
going to think about it for the next 6 years.
That's not fair. Like I should have just been
like oh why are you yawning? Yep I'm bored.
Still going to watch though. See you later.
Bye. Yep.
Hey, I don't know you. I don't want to talk about why
you Why you looking at my mouth? Stop looking at my open mouth.
Hey. Oh, why are you here?
What are you at the bar to do? Make weird conversations with
people and make them uncomfortable?
Why? Why?
Why'd you come to this bar? Why'd you come to this bar?
To stare. To stare at a bald man open and
close his mouth and, and suck in air in a, in a, in a reflex.
He has no control over that. Sometimes people will also do as
well because it's a, it's a sign of empathy in your brain.
At least that's what people say. But then sometimes when I used
to go to therapy, there's one therapist, I would yawn a lot
when we were talking about trauma.
That's happened to me. And I would say, I'm, I'm so
sorry, I'm not bored. And she was like, it's
completely fine. It's actually sometimes that
your your, your body will release energy through different
reflexes and and a yawn is one of them.
Should I have said that? Should have said, hey, actually
I've been through trauma and I'm releasing my energy through the
breath of my mouth. I'm releasing energy through my
mouth. I'm sorry.
I've been traumatized. I have erectile dysfunction.
All my first sexual experiences were semi in public and it's
ruined. It's it's it's kind of fucked
with me for my entire life. OK.
Admitting a lot in the 1st 15 minutes of the podcast anyway,
so that was very strange. And I didn't know what to do.
And I wanted to just be like, I'm trying not to be so
confrontational with people, but that felt like I was just set up
to confront her because it felt confrontational.
On me. Why are you?
Why are you yawning? Why are you talking to me?
I'm trying to watch this game. I'm happy to be here with my
friends. Who is to be?
I'm going to yawn Me. I should just been like I I
should have gone. Oh, would you rather me sing?
Would you rather me just make noise?
What? What do you want me to do?
That's what I should have said. What do you want me to do?
Huh? What do you want me to do?
Or just turn it around on her. Hey, what's going on with you
and her boyfriend? Obviously you're unhappy.
You wouldn't be having this weird conversation with me.
What's up? I can tell there's tension.
Is your boyfriend yawn eating your pussy the other day?
How'd it go there? You know, I did.
So, yeah. And then I left and I went home.
It was just. Dude, it's so strange, so
strange the the conversations people have like no, you know,
no one teaches you how to wipe your ass and also no one teaches
you how to be social. The amount of so like social
faux pas people make and how weird interactions go with
strangers. There needs to be like, dude, in
in high school, there needs to be a wipe your ass class.
There also needs to just a hygiene class.
There needs to be a hygiene class.
There also needs to be a how to socialize class.
I guess that's what decorum. Was like, were there ever?
Classes on how to socialize. Let me look this up dude I'm
drinking some everyday doses this coffee thing It's oh man
it's it's good. I fell, I fell for a YouTube ad
and I don't care because I like it.
Were there classes? Spelled it wrong.
I spelled it wrong and I'm not going to correct it.
YouTube or Google. You figure it out, robot.
A social self. Confidence course.
Reclaim masculine power. OK, this is not what I want and
also this feels weirdly targeted for me and like it's trying to
say something about me. Yes, classes inform Here we go.
Thank you. AIO review Classes and formal
instruction on social skills and manners etiquette have existed
for centuries in various forms from ancient civilizations like
Egypt and Europe. Books were published the guide
individuals. Let's see now 1820 to 1860,
numerous etiquette guides offered specific advice on
public demeanor, dining, conversation.
I want to, I want to find here, let's see the social skills
training. This is a structure therapeutic
approach developed in 1970s used by psychologists and other
professionals to help individuals conditions like
social anxiety. Oh, I want to let's, let's,
let's, can we see some SST stuff?
SST training examples. I'm figuring this out like, you
know, real time. But hey, remember guys, you're
just being injected into my not site safety training.
Socializing SST can mean too many things.
Social training and you guys are just absolutely loving this.
Here we go. It's social skills training.
Making eye contact, starting conversations, giving and
accepting compliments, navigating specific situations
like a fire, like a fire drill. OK, no one needs to learn.
But you can do, yeah, people, you know, people need to do
social skills. Let's do like ancient.
Let's get some ancient wisdom, though.
Let's get some ancient wisdom on social etiquette.
I I I I would love Let's see some examples of social Thou
must not say that another's wife stinks because she hasn't
showered in three months. Ancient wisdom and social ethic
examples such as an ancient India where guests are greeted
with incense lamps and fragrant ointments.
OK, Gee, an ancient China visitors feet were washed and
tea was served. That's nice, but I'm talking
about Converse. See that's that's I'm not in my
conversations. Though OK, Stoic philosophy be
mostly silent speak only when necessarily in few words.
No, that's that's your like I think that's too much focus on
what matters. Avoid discussing viral trivial
topics that gossip gladiators or horse races.
Hey, that's all I want to talk about so no boring.
In the past gentleman would walk on the street side of the woman
to protect her from traffic. Oh yeah, I should maybe do that.
None of these are like. 10 ancient etiquette rules you
never knew existed. These are all manners.
I just CC this. This is not what it is.
It's not etiquette. And I guess this is partially
etiquette, but it's more like learning how to have a
conversation. Conversations are a skill and
you need to learn how to navigate them and you need to
understand and be able to pick up very quickly.
Oh, what I'm talking about is making this person uncomfortable
or they don't really want to talk about it.
And that's a skill you have to make and you have to learn, but
it is invaluable because then you can very quickly pivot and
it makes the other person feel more comfortable.
They kind of also realize when you do that and they go, oh,
he's pivoting in a way, pivoting away.
He, he knew that I, I kind of didn't want to talk about this.
And then you. And then you.
Ask him about something else like but with strangers
specifically. It's like, dude, do not
immediately conduct an imposition on someone.
Them why there or is it Inquisition, imposition,
imposition, definition and rhymes.
I like that. Imposing something.
Yeah, you're she was she was imposing a conversation on me
that I didn't want to have. That's what it was anyway.
That was that was weird. I talked about that for a long
time. Maybe I'll cut it, but probably
not. Because at the end of the day,
you guys are just, we're just, you're in the other
consciousness, dude, because you, you're doing this while you
go to work, you're doing this while you do your laundry and
you're like, man, this is so nice to have not thought any of
my thoughts for an hour. Or at least that's what I think
Sometimes when I was in other things.
It's like, man, it's nice. It's nice to have someone else's
thoughts. But the only but then the bad
part is like, oh shit, we're all kind of having this.
We're having similar thoughts. We're having more some you know
whose thoughts? I'd like to have her thoughts
because I'm sure there's there are nothing.
I'm sure it's almost the maybe dude, or maybe her thoughts are
just like, I wonder why, like I'm not going to do that voice.
Her thoughts are simple, dude. Why is he yawning if he came
here to watch the game? Interesting.
I don't understand. I should ask him, you know?
OK, so that was weird. And I had AI had a.
Dude, I had a. Weirder interaction earlier.
This is weird. I stopped the robbery yesterday.
So strange. And I'm not going to tell the
story to like, you know, congratulate myself because it
kind of just happened in the moment and I did it.
It was a very weird experience. I was coming out of my apartment
and I went to go get on my motorcycle.
And then I hear someone scream and say stop that guy.
And a guy runs by me and he's got something under his jacket.
And I heard the guy say he took her something.
He took her something. So immediately I I just turned,
saw him run away. The other dude was so slow, no
way he was going to catch him and so.
I just started running after the guy.
I don't know why I just started running and I just saw if maybe
I could catch up to him and I and I, I saw him and he ran
across the street right during traffic and I ran as well and
followed him. Almost got hit by a bus.
I don't know why I did that. But then I got him and I pinned
him up against the wall. Not hard.
I just was like, I just stopped him.
I stopped him and I go, what are you doing man?
He said what are you talking about?
I go, what's under your jacket? And if at first he goes, what do
you mean I'm just going for a jog?
Dude, it's 10:00 PM and you're in a crew neck sweater and flip
flops. You're not going for a jog.
Also, why would that have anything to do with what's under
your? Sweater and I go, come on, man,
just show me what it is. He's like, I don't know what
you're talking about. I go just show me what it is.
And then he. Pulls out a bottle of liquor
which threw me off because I thought it was like a woman's
purse or something and so he gave it to me.
He's like this is what you want I go yeah.
And I. I said really?
He goes yeah. And he just looked at me kind of
upset and started to walk away. And I felt bad because I
realized that this guy, I, I don't know what his situation
is, but it's obviously not great because he's stealing a bottle
of liquor. And I just saw this look in his
eyes of like you took away this thing for me that I was going to
use to. I don't know.
I again, I don't want to judge like numb the pain.
Maybe he just likes whatever it is.
If you're, if you're stealing liquor from some from someone,
things aren't going great. That's why I yelled at him.
I stopped, I said, and he started to walk away and I
yelled and I said, yo, hey, hold on, hold on.
What do you need? And he goes, what I go, I go, do
you need something? Do you need me to buy you
something? And I mean, eventually he was
just like, I just need $10, bro. And I was like, yeah, OK.
And I'm not saying this to, to like congratulate myself for
doing it. That's not what it was.
But it was just this moment of kind of, I'm in this moment of
like humanity where I went. This guy, he, I don't think he
wants to do this. And I don't think you're
stealing a bottle to go get drunk with your friends.
I think you're stealing it to get drunk alone.
And that sucks. And that's not, yeah, that's
sad. And so of course, in that
moment, I'm going to be like, yeah, whatever I can do, man.
Like now, you know, if I only had a 50, I would have been
like, sorry, I don't have any money.
But, and that's me being honest, dude.
I'm like, you know, I'm not Saint Francis of Assisi or some.
I'm not a St. I don't even know what that guy
did, but he walked away. And then I gave the bottle to
the guy that was very slow. Wouldn't have.
I've caught him. And there were these two guys
and they were like, yeah, he stole from our liquor store.
We run our liquor store on the end of the street.
And I got to tell you as soon as they said that I was like, shit,
if I had known this was from a store, I wouldn't have done
anything. I thought he stole a woman's
purse. He stole a bottle of Jose
Cuervo. Dude, you it's a tax write off.
God damn it don't. If you yell thief he stole
something, he stole something. It better be he stole someone's
wedding ring or they stole a bag or I don't know, their dog.
Not a bottle of Jose Cuervo and Yejo shit.
I immediately felt so much worse.
Whatever. I gave him the money, but like,
fuck. But I guess the whole point of
that was, I mean, I don't know, people are struggling.
We all know that, but I don't. I yeah, I I, I it's just weird.
It was just weird to see his eyes.
SEC. I looked him in the eyes and I
could just tell how upset he was.
I had stress. We're all struggling, man, and
it sucks. Just think about that.
Just in life in general, if you have a weird interaction with
anyone, doesn't matter what it is, they're probably going
through something now. Probably they are going through
something. Everyone is going through
something. So try to be, you know, try to
give them the benefit of the doubt.
And maybe just. Maybe let him steal a bottle of
Jose Cuervo. Like, yeah, yeah, it was weird.
It's weird to have stopped and traced, like, tracked down a a
robbery. I felt like I was in a movie.
I don't know. I don't know if that sounds like
me bragging or I was like doing vigilante justice and I ended up
just like ruining this guy's night and and.
And people are going to be like, why'd you take that on house guy
Should have you should have let that on the House guy get away
with it. The corporation.
I can pay it off that on house guy couldn't.
It's like, yeah, well, he was just going to get drunk alone.
And that's. That sucks but it's not my it's
not my issue to tell him to stop because I gave him the money.
OK, I'm I'm rambling. Felt like I was running in the
marathon, right? Because the marathon is
happening today. Good Segway.
Good Segway Marathon is happening today.
I got to be real, man. I don't think I'll ever run a
marathon, and I feel so good about that.
I've never looked at a marathon and thought, God, I want to do
that. And it's not like it's not that
it's unimpressive. It is impressive.
It's hard to do. People shit themselves.
Other stuff happens. You sweat a lot, your body hurts
so many times your knees blow out.
You have to wear like a tinfoil cloth after for a couple hours
or else I guess you'll freeze to death or something.
I don't know. I don't know why they wear that,
but you just have to pay a lot of money.
It's it's weird. I just I've never looked at it
and been like, I want to do that.
I don't get, I also think running marathons are bad for
you, right? Is running a marathon?
Yeah, the first thing. But this is also every fat
person ever. Every every inactive person sees
someone running a marathon and they they immediately type.
Is running a marathon bad for you?
I bet you the amount of people who type it today is gone up
like 500%. Let's see long term impact of
marathon training. This is on Reddit.
Oh God what a marathon does to what a marathon does to your
body. Tufts.
OK Tufts is good. I almost went there.
Now that's a brag, but I I didn't want to go.
I was like, they're all fucking nerds.
OK, this OK, this that doesn't say anything.
This is not this is not set up the way I, I would like like it
to be. Here we go Marathon.
Oh National Institute of Gov marathon running an unhealthy
addiction or BBC. Let's go to BBC.
Let's see. Oh shit, I hate it when people
did that on podcast. Sorry, I made that noise.
Massive challenge, risks of injury, adaptation, keeping
hydrated. Oh deaths, some people die.
Wow, interesting. Any of the health risks are more
outweighed by the benefits. Yep.
I'm going to do the thing that everyone does and go.
I don't believe this. Let me look for an article that
confirms my bias. You're going to benefit.
I I just. Don't I'm, I'm doing that thing.
I just don't believe that. I feel like it's knocked up.
This is all propaganda. Let's see, this is some
marathons in the long run. In the long run, not heart
healthy. Increased coronary plaque,
interesting heart problems and extreme endurance athletes.
My the guy who did it Fiatapes final words.
My feet are killing me. No shit dude it was like 2500
years ago and he he probably ran a marathon with no no shoes.
I know for a fact he didn't have shoes.
Hey, how long until he made shoes?
How long until someone was like, dude, my feet, I keep getting,
well, they didn't have nails. I keep getting pointy rocks into
my feet. I wish we could do something now
we can't. That's just that's God gave us a
perfect body. There's nothing we can do.
Could we put something? No.
If you put something in the body of your feet, it's against God
and we'll. Burn you at the stake.
I can't find a lot about marathons.
I guess marathons are good for you.
Shit. I was trying to find.
I was trying to find it for you guys.
But there's just injuries, electrolyte imbalance, immune
system suppression and psychological stress.
No, Yeah, I guess it's not that bad.
All right, shit, well, I can't say it's bad for you.
So I just don't want to do it because I don't want to.
And that's hey, that's completely OK.
Comes back to my whole point. It was, it was Halloween a
couple days ago. I didn't dress up for Halloween.
And guess what? That's fine.
And you if you want to dress up for Halloween, great, fantastic.
But me as a 33 year old single man didn't really want to dress
up as Halloween. Shit's kind of embarrassing if
you're not doing it with a group.
Or you weren't really into it. If I was really into it, I would
do it. And we I already talked about
this in the last episode kind of, but that then someone else
hit me up and was like, I can't believe someone listened to the
episode and was like, oh, you're not dressing up, but come on,
you have. To dress up and you just no, no,
you know, like if I don't want to dress up, I'm not going to
dress up it's as simple as that again, dressing up as a 33 year
old man, what am I going to go out on Halloween and try to.
Have sex What? What's the name of the the girl
with the the snakes that turns you into stone?
What is that? Medusa?
Oh my God, I want to dress up as a Titan and go I'm going to
dress up as Hercules and go try to have sex with Medusa.
Because if you're a. Guy and you dress up as like a
buff dude, she is lame. I saw the this this this this
most one dude I follow on Instagram son dressed up as
Superman. It's like bro, it's so fucking.
Lame. I get it.
But like like there's some costumes where it's like, dude,
really? I dressed up as Superman when I
was 22 and even back then I kind of went, what am I doing?
And I'm not going to hate you did something, it's fine.
But like. I think you should go.
You should be able to go to a party on Halloween and someone
goes, what do you dress up as? And I go, I just, I just dressed
up as myself. I dressed up as my confident,
oh, you know what? Here's the costume.
I took the costume off. I took the mask off of what I do
for society. I'm just being myself.
That's what this is. I'm not living up to what
everyone else wants. This is the the peer pressure.
You could do one of those things, turn it around on them,
be one of those annoying assholes.
And the people go, OK, yeah, whatever.
And just be like, oh, I don't know, my mom died a couple days.
Not Mama Jesus. I'm not going to say I don't
know. I'm kind of sad.
My aunt passed away a couple days ago, so I didn't really
feel like dressing up. Everyone's like, yo, OK, my bad.
I'm so sorry you got to turn it around.
But anyway, if you're, if you're, if you ran the if you
ran the marathon, congratulations, I'm good for
you. I'll never do it.
I'll have to live vicariously through you.
Maybe one day. What's all the people?
Going and watching, I guess it's kind of cool to watch.
I would just feel bad because I see some people that were
struggling with, I would go, damn that that guy's not going
to make it. Maybe that's what's fun about
it. You go with some of your friends
and you just people watch and kind of talk shit about some of
the runners. You're like, Dad, he's killing
it, and you go, you know, that that old lady might not make it
until the end. See some guy in a wheelchair.
You're like, is that allowed? Yeah.
I don't. I don't understand why people go
and they watch marathons. I guess it's something to do.
You get out, you watch everyone. I don't know if I would.
Maybe I'll probably do it. One of these, one of these.
It would be cool to do it on the Verrazano or maybe the 59th St.
Bridge. That would be cool.
But yeah, weird. Well, not weird, but.
You know, if you've if you've watched the marathon, if you
watch the marathon this week, call in.
Let us know. Let's just do some current
events real quick. Actually, we'll end with current
events. Let's do let's do the voice
calls, let's do some the text. We got a bunch of text messages.
No worries. All right, so we had one guy a
while ago and he said he's is an artist.
So, you know, I, I went to acting school, I'm, I'm an
artist, all all that shit, blah, blah, blah.
He goes, how do you, how are you able to find fulfilment as an
artist after graduation? I'm here in the city now and I'm
really struggling with, I think, finding my outlet to fill
without acting. I went, so I went to acting
school. And it's been, let's see, I
graduated 20. It's been 11 years since I
graduated. And I think the key to finding
fulfillment as an artist and an actor, but I mean, the, the key
to finding fulfillment as an artist is to watch other people
do their art. And it doesn't even have to be
the field that you're in. Whatever concentration, it
doesn't matter. But like one of the most
fulfilling things is to see someone else do something very,
very well. It can be sports too, but go
watch someone sing, go to a poetry night, go to I, I like,
you know, go to theater, go to, you know, you can go to stand
up, you can go to UCB. But if you're interacting, if
you're into something more dramatic, search that stuff out.
But search everything. Because what's fulfilling is
seeing someone put effort and time into something and trying
and trying really hard, not half assing and, and being good at
it. But The thing is, you're not.
And, and what's what's great about it is you're actually not
going to like everything that you go to.
You're going to not like a lot of it.
And that's good for multiple reasons.
One of the reasons is you have to find out what you don't like.
One of the biggest things of life is not finding out what you
like, but finding out what you don't like because that informs
you about yourself, what other things you can try.
And it also allows you to sometimes predict certain
things. You're like, oh, I know I'm not
going to like that. Maybe I'm not, maybe I'm not
going to do it again. I, I went to this one concert.
I didn't like it. Maybe I'm not going to check out
this other one because I know I don't really like that stuff.
And so that allows you to. It allows you to cut.
Out a lot of the noise and focus on the things you do like now.
Again, you should be trying new things and every now and then
push yourself to go to something that maybe you didn't like the
time before you watch a movie by a director.
You don't you don't like it. Five years later he comes out
with something else. One of your friends is like,
I've heard it's very good. Let's go.
You don't want to go 'cause you're like, I've written this
person off, but you try and, and when you go to something that
you don't like or if you're watching something you don't
like, try to find at least two things that you do like about
it. Because again, this is going to
allow you to be more more specific and nuanced and more
diverse in the things that you can bring to your own art and
what you do and allow you to try new things.
Life is about trying new things and repeating the things that
you know you like. But you have to throw new stuff
in there. You only get to do this once.
You only get to be alive once. Why wouldn't you?
If you go to something and you hate it, sick, dude.
You just experienced an emotion and you experienced something
that you now can say I don't like that.
That's cool. Now, does this mean that maybe I
should run a marathon? Maybe.
Am I going to? Probably not, because I can be
hypocritical and we all can. That's fine.
I find fulfilment doing that. I find fulfilment journaling and
sort of journaling more. That's good.
And I find fulfilment when I talk to other artists or
creatives and see what they're doing and supporting them.
I find fulfilment supporting other people because I know I
want support. And so when someone else
supports me, that feels good and I.
Try to pay it forward. So try and do some of that.
I don't know if I gave you like a road map of what to do, but.
That's a a good way to start. And there's so much different
art and creation in New York. The more you see, it's just
going to help you realize, number one, what kind of person
you are, what kind of artist you are.
And it's going to allow you to have much better conversations
than that insane lady at the bar who told me to stop yawning.
So do that. Let's see, we got a, we got a
long a follow up text from this guy and he he he kind of like he
kind of summarized the recent podcast and I'm not going to go
into all of it, but he didn't say one thing.
He goes, I was on the train ride home tonight and it was
overcrowded, standing room only and down the two train cars.
Everyone was angry. Been there, dude.
There was a guy who literally was watching some videos in the
loudest volume and then was searching on AI and had it
reading aloud the answers. Then someone was in the seat
with him, they got off the train and then he leaves, leans over
so no one sits next to him and sleeps.
So insane. Dude.
I that is the kind of situation where I go you should be
illegally, you should legally allow be allowed to.
Beat the shit out of that guy. Not to death, but just like I
think there should be. Like an app where you can all at
at you can all. As the public like vote on
something, I mean, this is actually this is this is I've
already seen all the negative ways that can go.
So maybe not. I'm going to stop that thought,
But that sucks, dude, that I, I, I hate people like that.
And that's when you know that's fuck, there's got to be some
like you should be able to give someone a ticket, give him a
ticket, but you're getting a ticket for being an asshole and
it's $115.00, the same as getting a parking ticket.
And he can go to court and dispute it.
But guess what? If you show up the way a cop
does and you give your side of the story, the judge can be
like, Nah, dude, it sounds like you're being an asshole.
You you got to pay this ticket to the city and and or you got
to do to 10 hours of community service.
Whatever it is, you get an asshole ticket.
Dude that would be sick. If I ran, if, if I ran a city,
there would be stuff like that. And is it maybe a little bit?
No, fuck that. That would be fucking sick.
I'm not going back on it. That would be dope.
Man, someone is someone is being an asshole and you just go like,
all right, you can either pay this or do 10 hours community
service beautifying your city. And then they do it.
And then it leads them to care more than they stop playing
their music out loud. And guess what?
The money and the money that you get from it goes towards buying
public headphones for everyone so that they they can be a
breaking case of asshole and you break it on the train and then
you give the person the headphone.
That's what I would do. Let's see we so the guy with the
house, he he OK, here we go. We got an update.
We talked about having updates. He goes.
Thank you for the response. We had a family discussion and
have been compiling a list of companies to request estimates
from. We unanimously agreed that
DOIDOI results for were bad. I do pay the property tax, home
insurance, electricity and water.
Wow. I have also had plumbing
services come in. OK, there we go in the future.
There will be a. Rent to own charge, but that has
not yet been determined. I don't know what that really
means but the uncertainty around what my cost of living will be
become gives me anxiety even though it's a good opportunity.
I just like knowing what to budget for financially and time
wise. OK, I understand that.
So that's great man, that's good.
A rent to own charge will be fine.
I'm sure it won't be that much. It is your family and I'm happy
you guys figure that out and I'm happy I could help.
This is the kind of advice you guys get, you know?
This is this. This is awful.
So as you guys remember, last week there was a guy who kissed
his girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend and then fell in love
with him and I asked for updates.
I actually started texting him after the show and he said I
could call in but I don't really want to do that.
I'd rather do the text and he has an update and I'm sure there
will be there will be other updates.
At some point. It's like dude, you just got to
you got to just come out as gay and break up with your
girlfriend. But here we go.
I forgot to mention the guy's girlfriend and my girlfriend are
roommates. I went to a party the other day
and we all went to their apartment and him and I both
spent the night around the same time.
We both ran into each other to go to the bathroom.
I panicked and said fancy meeting you here.
Do you come here often? Oh my God dude you real.
You got to work on your game, bro, and you're lucky this guy
is. You must be a good kisser.
Sort of like a joke. I don't know why I said that.
At least you know. Yeah, you were uncomfortable.
It's all good. But he went.
He went first, then I went. But he was like, waiting for me
when I got done. And we kind of talked a bit.
Turns out he was the one that asked a mutual friend to tell
our girlfriends to dare us to kiss.
Oh. And as we were leaving to go
back to our girlfriends, we kind of had a moment where we just
looked at each other for a long time and we almost kissed like I
was leaning in. But my phone rang because my
girlfriend called asking where I was.
But The thing is, we can't really leave our.
Girlfriends because his girlfriend and him just
announced the pregnancy last night.
Bro, this is this has got to be made-up.
There's no fucking way this has got to be made-up.
Come on bro this I if this is real this is absolutely insane.
How old are you? How old is this guy?
This is they announced the pregnancy.
I I unk help. Yeah, because I've I've been
having people call me unk. This is dude.
I mean, I do do any of. Anyone else listening?
What do you guys think? Do you think this is fake?
This feels kind of fake. But to to go that much into
writing this, this is like right on the line of whether it's fake
or not. Oh my God, my phone rang 'cause
my girlfriend. We can't relieve our girlfriends
'cause it's his girl and him just announced a pregnancy last
night. Jesus dude.
Well, here's the thing, he can't leave his girlfriend.
Or also he can he can Co parent and just be a gay man.
It's completely fine. You definitely should 'cause
this is all you're thinking about and I don't know, you got
to figure this out bro, because this, if not this, is going to
be in the back of your head, in your mind for forever.
This is this is crazy. You, you, you got to tell your
girlfriend and but I get it. You don't want to out him.
This is tough. I'm going to be like, I mean,
kiss another guy, maybe download Grinder, find a find another guy
and go, hey, I'm just DTK. I'm just down to kiss.
That's all I'm looking for right now and see if another and see
if another guy is DTKI. Don't really know how Grinder
works, but I think like maybe you, you could probably find
someone to do that. Just go to a bar, maybe go on a
date with a guy. I don't know, dude.
I mean, yeah, that's like it's bad because you're cheating on
your girlfriend, but you got to figure it out.
This is it's a lot, man. I'm really trying to shepherd
this guy through this experience because this is not easy.
But yeah, kiss another guy. See if see if it was just this
man or just all guys in general. And then you can move from there
and you got to tell your girlfriend.
But you can. But you can.
You could even say like, hey, what?
When I kissed that guy, it did kind of like spark.
Something in me. But don't, don't, don't out him.
He's got to figure it out on his own.
If he wants to just bury it and have this kid and figure it out,
that is his. Cross the bear, not yours.
OK, 347-566-9741. Remember to call the hotline,
guys give you some advice. We'll go through some stuff.
And now I know. All of you, you're very invested
in this guy and what's going to happen as am I.
So let's close the podcast out. We'll we'll talk about.
I don't know. Sydney Sweeney did.
Sydney Sweeney wore some silver dress that showed her tits and
over 1,000,000 people searched it on Google in the past two
days and it's like, OK, I like, I'm like, it's just like, can we
like, stop talking about Sydney Sweeney's tits?
I'm so I'm so just. The two things in it's like
everyone's talking about it's, it's every month Sydney
Sweeney's tits just like come back into the zeitgeist.
It's like, can we not, can we not talk about her tits?
Meanwhile, Billie Eilish gave $12 million in a.
What did she do? She donated.
Billie Eilish donates. How much did she donate?
She donates $11 million donation to Environmental OK Billie
Eilish, how old is she? She's 23 years old.
She donated $11.5 million of her earnings from her tour to
various organizations dedicated to food equity, climate justice,
reducing carbon pollution and combating the climate crisis.
Great. So you have Billie Eilish.
This really feels like two sides of the spectrum.
You have Billie Eilish donating almost $12 million for food
equity and climate justice. And then you have Sidney Sweeney
wearing a see through dress and everyone online is like Sidney
Sweeney, mommy milkers, milkers. And then Billie Eilish donates
money and tries to help people and everyone's like shut the
fuck up. Shut up and sing, bitch.
What? Why would you?
Why would you donate money and then make any?
Why do you have to make it about politics?
Like, dude, she donated $12 million.
I'm so sick of people getting, I'm sorry, getting mad.
Dude. I'm so sick of people of, of
celebrities or anyone donating money and then immediately
someone going like, oh, why'd you have to talk about it?
Just do it. Shut up, bro.
They did it. They donated $12 million and
guess what? They're allowed to talk about
why they did it and what their feelings are.
You like, what would you rather than do nothing, not speak out
about something they think is important?
What do you like? It really kind of lends credence
to the thing. Like, oh, what do you want them
to do? Just be like Sidney Sweeney and
show her tits through a silvery, silvery dress?
Cause controversy that way. I don't know, it's just dude, I
I actually am like, you know what, Sidney Sweeney be a girl
with big tits. That's great.
That's your thing. That's that's how the world sees
you. Seems that seems kind of seems
like it would suck to me, but also it's a very simple that's
great. Honestly, good for you.
Do it. You're crushing it.
I understand why some girls probably don't like whatever.
I'm not I'm not going to go into that good.
Like wear the silvery dress. Holy shit, fantastic.
But also, if you're a guy that's.
Like do you see Sidney Sweeney's dressed like I see your nipples
like bro, read a fucking book. What are you doing?
Like, or if you're the person commenting on it, if you send it
to your group chat, like whatever.
Yeah, my group chat definitely has that in there, but it's more
just like I'm I'm almost this is going to sound.
I was like, I'm like sick of hearing about Sidney Sweeney's
boobs. Honestly, I get it.
Can we not like? It's so hard for me to talk
about this and not sound like that guy that's like, we'll
still talk about women this way. But I also am like, let's not
just a little bit, but then at the same time I go, I mean,
she's kind of like, what, why? Like what what?
What is the thought process? With wearing that dress, I don't
know then who fucking gives a shit?
I've. That's not what this podcast is
about. Me, me, me, me talking about the
dumb current events like that. So when he showed her tits and
then Billie Eilish gave $12 million away to the climate
crisis. And one of those is it's much
better and much more impactful on society, but one person is
going to get backlash for trying to do a good thing.
The. Other person is going to get
praised for wearing a silver see through dress.
I don't know that's. And you know, I'm just.
Upset because of the time change, That's what it is.
I'm upset because the clocks fell back and now the sun is
going to set in an hour. I already see the sun going down
and it's just like why do we have daylight savings time?
Why do we have non daylight savings time?
It makes everyone depressed. It's bad for society and I know
that. I looked it up.
Pros and cons it's like 7 things
to know about daily 7 is life. Diaz was enacted to conserve
energy, but today it may do the opposite.
What OK rationale is part of the society.
It encourages people to use more air conditioning and heating,
say additional daylight in the evening during summer,
beneficial to mental health. It is.
That, too, has been refuted. Dated from a 2020 study
published in a Plus. That change exacerbates mood
disorder, suppression, anxiety. Yeah, the change doesn't
exacerbate. So let's just stay in daylight
savings. And I know some people will go.
Oh. Well, in some places, the sun is
not going to rise till 9:00 AM. Hey, man, tough shit.
OK, I'm sorry, but the sun setting at 4:30 for three, three
months is horrific and this, this date, this, this, this
article can suck my ass because it's not real.
There are. There just needs to not be a
change. We got to choose one of the
other no matter what. Let's go to Britannica.
Here are the pros and cons. Pros Daylight saving times.
Daylight savings times. Longer daylight hours promote
safety. That's great.
Cons Daylight savings time is bad for your health.
That's wrong though. It's only bad because of the
time change. Pro #2 daylight savings time is
good for the economy. Con #2 con daylight savings time
drops productivity. Yeah, it drops it on one day and
more employer. More employees could be doing
more working hour for what their boss.
Fuck off dude. We this is not that's all we
care about. We're talking about our people
happier and they are less happy. And then daylight savings time
is expensive because they go, oh, everyone has to change their
clocks and do everything and it costs working hours and that
could be used for something more productive.
That's a stupid reason. Pro #3 daylight savings time
promotes active lifestyles. Great this daylight savings
time. It should be all year round.
Everyone agrees having more light in the night time is
better. People shop more.
People go out and see each other more.
They don't go inside and just go into a cave because the sun is
setting at 4:30 and most of the time people are going to.
And also if we keep daylight savings time and the sun rises
later at like 8:30 or 9, guess what?
More people get to watch the sunrise and that's good for you.
So it's a win win. It's going to be beneficial.
I don't care about the people that are waking up at 6:00 AM,
like or 4:00 AM like Mark Wahlberg and all the get out
there and grind people. I'm talking about normal people
that have work at 9:00 AM and they're waking up at 8:25 to get
there. Unless they have to take a long
commute and then they're waking up at 7:15.
But still this shit is killing me.
I'm I'm looking out dude it's 355 right now and the sun is
setting and I go cool I have to now be sad for another 7 hours.
No longer I have to now be sad for another 10 hours.
Great. It's not worth it.
Damn, I wasn't as happy as this episode as I wanted to be.
I thought I wanted to be more free and fun, but we just had
to. We had to go over stuff.
It's OK, every episode's different.
You never know what's going to happen.
Could do more research on whether daylight savings times
is is positive or negative, but I think we all know that.
'Cause I get it I. Get it?
You want to have. You don't want to have one time
either positive or negative throughout 11 time either
Standard savings, either Standard Time or daylight
savings time throughout the entire year.
But if you do Standard Time, then it means that you're never
going to have 9:00 AM sunsets in the summer.
And I just, I can't get behind that.
I can't get behind it. Summer is fantastic for that
spring too, it's just you can't do it.
And to all the farmers, I mean dude, buy a flashlight.
Buy a headlamp. If you're so upset about it, but
everyone can benefit from the sun setting later is what I'll
say. The entire population benefits
from the sun setting later. Maybe half the.
Population benefits from the sun rising still at 6:30 AM.
That's what I'll say. And maybe someone will disagree
with me and send me some info that says This is why you're
wrong and I just will go. I'll just do the thing we talked
about before. I'll do the AI wars where I'll
just go and find my I'll just type into Google and I'll find
my article and go. Actually, here's where you're
wrong. My article says it's like it's
good for you. And then neither of us will
concede and then we'll just go to something else.
That's how it'll go. But that's for another episode.
Guys. Thank you so much for tuning in.
