Yeah. Shout out to the old fellas over there, the USA hockey team. Winning it all, baby. Winning it all. Say what you want. Say what you want about us, dude. You know what I did all day yesterday? I just found a couple Canadians complaining, and I just watched them for hours. Hours. Oh, we were clearly the best. I don't even know how to do their accent. I don't even know how to do their accent. They probably complained nicely. Yeah, they were like, well, that's all they have. I'm sorry, but men's and women's teams, both of them. Yeah. Listen, let me say this. We're the greatest country on earth. We're the greatest country on earth. We know who we are. We know you guys hate us. We know you hate us. It's like the team that wins all the national championships. like in like the the they're like but here's my problem with the rest of the world i'll say u.s versus everybody is y'all trash on us for every all y'all do and i'm speaking where's the rest of the world all y'all do is watch our news make fun of us our policies make fun of us our protests which sometimes rightfully so no no a lot of stuff rightfully so of course that people make Oh, look at you. Everywhere I go on this planet, everywhere I go, you know what people are watching? Stuff from here. Stuff from here. We're kind of like that guy in the friend group who's like definitely a liability. A liability. But you notice the void when they're not around. That's a great way to say it. That's us. And you want to beat him. You need us. And you want to beat him so bad. Dude, you want to beat us so bad. And I know this is sounding very pro-American. How dare you? And I'm proud. The most proud. I go, whatever y'all are good at, we'll come take that from you, too. Yeah. Hockey. We got it. Hey, Cricket, be careful. You're next. We might come get it if we feel like it. Well, we will. Yeah. That's why I love the World Cup in soccer. I don't think we're there. We haven't wanted to. We just haven't wanted to. That's a little extreme. Our best athletes play other sports where they make more money. We haven't wanted to yet. Oh, hey, and when y'all are at some point in y'all's career, you're going to come over here to play. Yeah. Why? Because you make more money. You make more money. Yeah. And shout-out Justin Trudeau, whatever his title is in Canada, for tweeting this, I think a day or two before the hockey game. Yeah. He tweeted, and I quote, you can't take our country and you can't take our game. Hey, shout-out Justin Trudeau, dude. You're the Curb Your Enthusiasm team. I mean, listen, we – everywhere I go, people are – and that's what I said about the live golf. Remember when they were in the Middle Eastern and they were trying to make their own league? I go, we were in negotiations with them and we were scared. We forgot who we were. We forgot we were the PGA Tour. We're the one that everybody wants to come to. We forgot we're the country that makes all the music. We're the country that makes all the movies. We're the country that makes all the TV shows that everybody wants. We're the leader of – we're not all head and shoulders above. We make all the stuff, and we consume all y'all's stuff. And forgive me, dude, for being pro-America. Forgiven. You got it, bro. No problem. Anytime. If you do it again, let me know. I got another one. The worst possible people. The worst – and we'll get some clips about this. No, who cares, bro? Keep going. Forgiven, dude. You're forgiven. Let me talk about it. Let me pray about it. Forgiven. Let's try to rally, dude. Let's just get it going. I'll do it, dude. Yeah. It's like we did it to the figure skater girl with the septum piercing or whatever. And they were like, she did an unbelievable job and skated and won the gold. And then it was like, well, you know she's a lib, right? I go, we don't care. It was awesome. Be happy. Yeah. Somebody did something awesome. And then the hockey players, they're going to get all pushed back from a certain side of politics. Who cares? Who cares? Take that home. I don't want it. I see red, white, and blue and gold right now. That's all I see. That's all I see. I'm colorblind to all the other ones. Yep. I don't even know it. Yeah. Convenient that white's in there, but yeah. That's all we're seeing? Really? Really? Sorry, gentlemen. Sorry about that. yeah dude hey listen and i was convicted about something i'm gonna tell him to be honest okay i was convicted about something because it was like dude just the thing about like we somebody's like well you know that that girl that was the hockey was like do you know she's like i go yeah i don't i don't care anybody that like thinks other way for me like i got my own thoughts and appeal and feelings about this country and my personal life and my religion and my family but if you're not that i go like people arguing against i go well they don't we learned this like very early on in like uh in like church growing up you were like you're gonna argue with someone about like abortion you're like we can't use the bible because they don't yeah they don't follow that right so it's someone's not following the you're like well they don't they don't think those rules apply yeah so they can't use that right you have to use it like based on like human like uh uh just human and not being a human being or like that you can't use a bible verse you're like somebody else is not following the plan i'm following you're like yeah this they're on different rules right they can steal like i don't or whatever so you're like i feel like that getting having other people having other outside things get to your like happiness and celebration is and i've been i've been kind of convicted not convicted but like about hating on the University of Georgia. It's lame. Okay. Bam, my fan has entered the chat. I spend so much energy to be hating, and I hate them. What are you doing, John? And I cannot stand them. I love this for you. You don't like this for him? My sister's going to watch this and be like, I knew it! I told you! But for me to get all... It's lame. I think you need some of that in your life You do Everyone who doesn't hate or have a strong conviction against something They're the softest, most mentally weak individuals ever Wow, put that on a shirt They are Without hate, you're soft That's the quote Without hate, you're soft Without hate, you're soft Hate makes you hard Get shirts, dude Somebody's going to send a shirt Hate makes you hard Don't do that one That's a wild shirt It's crazy, dude. Hate makes me hard. Hate makes me hard. No, bro, don't send that shirt. Keep that shirt. No, you said it. That's one of those shirts that just stays in the house. You only wear it after you shower before you go to bed. It doesn't leave the house. Okay, what is it? Don't wear that anywhere. No, maybe for as long as we all know we're in jest about Georgia. It's fun. Yeah, that's what you're saying. It's fun. It's sport. Yeah, it's sport. But after the game, we have my top ten sports hate. I should update that, though. Yeah, it's been a minute. Philly. Everybody from Philly, I hate. I hate the Sixers. I hate the Phillies. I hate the Eagles. I hate their soccer team, dude. I'm just checking your tour dates. I'm probably coming there this weekend. Glenside, Pennsylvania is right outside of Philly, dude. Yeah, and I'll tell, but in jest. Yeah, yeah. But the hate on the internet is not in jest. Right. It's not in jest. Especially about the other side of the political side. Yeah. If you're like, that's lame. Yeah, it is. It's lame. It's super lame. It's why I'm from Massachusetts. It's why I'm not a Red Sox fan. It's why I'm not a Pats fan. It's why I'm not a South. Because it was literal fanaticism. Yes. obsessed with the success of the sport. Y'all are lame. Y'all are lame. I was like, bro, what are y'all doing? This is who you are? Yeah, no. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This is your identity. That's what people have said about politics. They're like, I believe this side, but if you say, I don't believe that side, well, my identity's not in it. Yeah. My thoughts are in it. Yeah. My philosophies, but me as a person is not in it. Not defined by that. Yeah, so you say, I don't like that. Then you're saying, I don't like you. Right. And you go, no, we didn't say that. Right. We didn't say that at all. No. Yeah. I love this for you, brother. I'm just having an enlightenment. Easton's disappointed in you. Sorry, Easton. Well, you can still be – He's young. And let me also reserve the right to still hate. Of course. If I need to. Just hand out your hate to me. I'll do it. Yeah. This goes in perfect. Okay. And we've – all right. So in 2019, I stopped doing churches. Yeah. Right? I just don't do any churches anymore. I just feel like as a comedian, you're trying to say things that are kind of from you. And if you're at a church, like, does the church also believe this? And, like, it's a little bit of a, if you tell a joke that's maybe on the line, they're like, it's a little bit of a conflict of interest, and you're working at a church on the stage that the pastor is also. Okay. So we never, we're in this podcast, like, joking around. Like, I don't know, maybe they say wild stuff all the time. Okay We posted that clip about self-control You remember that? Which one? Two weeks ago It was like the only control God asked me to have was self Yes And I think We were like that's a good word And I think I said clip it I could be wrong But I'm pretty sure I told you to clip it right? Yeah Some things get clipped And some things get clipped by other people Basically the clip was The only control God asked you to have was self-control not control your family not control your kids not control your boss not control of republicans democrats self that's the only one that he asked you to have control of self and i was like i like that and i can stand on that the problem is now that's on me yeah now i said that publicly and now i have to act like that does that make sense yes like you made yourself accountable to the world yeah yeah that's why like pastors that everybody They're always getting crushed. Like, well, you said. Yeah. And that's, I remembered why I don't say anything. Does that make sense? Yes, totally. Why I don't say any, like, here's how to, if you were like, here's how to parent. Right. And then they see you. Right. Having a meltdown. You're like, well, you are the parenting guy. Or like, once you say like from a moral high ground, this. Yes. Then people are going to be like, well, immediately. The reality is wild like that, bro. Wild. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I'm waiting for – Speaking of the – I'm waiting for why this is an issue. Okay. Well, okay. So I go – I'm on Twitter. And I think I said Twitter in my example. You did say – you either said Twitter or clips. You said something that was like – Okay. Because you commented and said, why did I say that? Yeah. Yeah. It's like, why? Reels. I get reels. That's what it was. I get reels. Okay. So the University of Georgia. I've got to be better, dude. Okay. So Gunnar Stockton. Forgiven. Gunnar Stockton. That's the title of the pod. Gunnar Stockton is the quarterback for the University of Georgia. Stud. Okay. Trump went to visit the state of Georgia for something. And on the tarmac, a video came out four days ago on the tarmac of Gunnar Stockton shaking hands with Trump. Okay. Okay. That's all we saw. Okay. All right. And I'm just scrolling Twitter. This is, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Georgia Bulldog fan. And I will never turn my back on them. That being said, I have lost all respect for a quarterback, Gunnar Stockton. His fawning over meeting the 34-time convicted felony is a bridge too far. Okay. I said, and I don't respond on Twitter ever. Don't caveat it. No, no, no. Okay. You did this time. I said, if you look at my reply history, it's like, thanks for coming to the show. It's just like a shot. I go, none of the countless convicted felons on your roster were a problem. Yikes.

Where were you when you tweeted it? I don't know. In a bad place, man. in my head in my head is where i was dude in my head bro i will never be a pastor i will never be a pastor just because no one can live like that no one can unless all right if you're a pastor you have to start out every sunday be like all right here's where i screwed up like you have to do confessional to your congregation yes so just so you don't look like i mean i did when i posted that about self-control everybody's like dude this is a word john chris thanks for speaking to us and i felt great let me tell you brother of course i was like yeah i'm a comedian but sometimes clip it yeah clip it that's gonna make me look good bro get that up there no no east and slow pushing on my face yeah yeah it was like john chris dude with some bars share share share yeah yeah yeah and now and then i go oh man i'm gonna have to do this i don't i don't envy any past we can delete it that's a wild that's a wild reply but but that's so funny i just it's the self-control is perfect because you can scroll i think i'm pretty good at uh like in traffic or where the places where you lose self-control yeah with your kids uh at work with your boss maybe talking bad about people you go i i feel like i can for the most part but and that but yeah nowhere makes me more mad than twitter twitter yeah yeah it's it's why i stopped using it okay back to my point about georgia that it is kind of lame yeah what to like do that dude you or him both both sides yeah it's lame dude go go you gotta yeah touch grass bro Get outside Touch some grass Easton's all about this You got some joy out of that When you typed that in post Tremendous bro But if you're not doing it in fun Like John said earlier It's a problem That's fantastic That's like A plus tweet And maybe let's say I was in control What if I was in control Then you're a maniac Just an agent of destruction You plan this? This is your thoughts? Crazy dude I'm going to go on the rumble strip I like it dude I'm cool with it As long as if this guy comes up and goes Dude I was the one that said to a tweet Yeah daps Maybe that's it As long as you're dapping up I think the guys after the US played Canada hated him Couldn't hate him more after the game. Maybe that's a... Gotta. Daps. Because it's sport. Yeah. I think it's the same as like you watch two guys duel it out in the octagon. Daps. Bloodied up. And afterwards, it's hug and respect. Love you, bro. Yeah. So you could say and they had the most self-control. Yeah. They weren't trying. Right. Yeah. And if you... And this MMA fighting, they will tell you if you do lose, like I'm going to go for it, then you're going to get knocked out. True. You have to hang and choose your spots and you can be very aggressive but maintaining self-control. Twitter is your octagon. And everybody who's on Twitter has voluntarily stepped into the octagon. Yes, yes, yes. And so when you're in here, hey, you might get cracked. You might get cracked. And you might do some cracking. And you might do some cracking. But at the final buzzer or bell or whatever, we're going to dab it up. Yeah, and that's the concern about that. You've got to keep it there. That's the concern about the website. You follow each other? What's the dap? No, no, no. It's just a mutual respect. Like somebody said, like, hey. The dap is implied. I think you could look at my replies and somebody said, hey, I can't win. And I go, nah, all good. You're right. Yeah. Or like, yeah. What if you don't want to dap? You just respond and be like, no dap, by the way. No dap. There's people in there not dapping. There's people in there not dapping for sure. I mean, all disrespect by this. No daps. No daps. No daps. Oh, man. That's okay. I think you can have both sides. I was getting in there. I also, I just, I think it's so funny to scroll through your replies and see, thanks for coming to the show. Thanks for coming to the show. Thanks for coming to the show. Do you, are you, what about all of them? Whoa. Whoa. Killed it. This is where we're trying to go. And then right back to, thanks for coming to the show. Thanks for coming to the show. It's like, you know that meme of the exit, and it's like, good career, and it's like, railroaded by the dirt. Hard right. I'm going, ah. The hockey game was electric, though. Electric. Back to that for a second. I'm up at 7 a.m. just to watch it. So did I. I like it. When it's nothing better than us against the world. Yes. There's nothing better. Yep. I want to beat everybody. Yeah. I want to beat everybody. Especially at their stuff. Yeah. That's so cool. But we have a lot of listeners from all over the world. Especially Canada. Yeah. We know how you feel about us. Yeah. We know that we are like the bullies. But y'all, as long as we're dapping it up, and I don't – like, yeah. You watch us. We don't know who the president of Zimbabwe is. They know who the president of here is. Easton got some things Easton got some things to think about tonight I'm not saying that Zimbabwe knows What you want me to do What you want me to do I'm sorry I'm back I had a show Like a show over the weekend Not one of my uh well now let me now you're related to that i just woke up on the road just in like a bad mood okay just like a bad like in a bad uh mood and i at the same time i was kind of like yeah i'll just lay around or we're in the bus or go or in there but i got a bunch of stuff to do and i wasn't make content and then like the guys are out in the bus we'd go to brunch and like and i was just like you know you we all we've all been here yeah in this place okay and i was i was on x uh this is a redeeming uh a redeeming conversation about x uh somebody posted hey please somebody give me a workout hack like give me a workout hack where i can where working out is fun or where working out is enjoyable or you know there's a million different workouts and then somebody goes it's not supposed to be fun they go it's not supposed to be fun think about it like brushing your teeth you have to do it to maintain yourself to take care of yourself so you can do the rest of the things that you have to do. And then I thought about life that way. I go, everything's not supposed to be. Sometimes it just sucks. Get about what you have to do today. Dude. Does that make sense? Yes. Sometimes it's not fun. Everything's like maximized to like fun. Have you seen all these different workouts where they're like jumping on the thing and they got the things doing and they're running around the things. And then we go to the spin class where like they have all this pump up music. there's an instructor they have all your charts up there so you can beat your last one and you can track how you are versus everyone else to try to get everyone it's because it comes from a central philosophy that this is fun yeah and that's everything sometimes stuff sucks and just to go i was in the back of the bus i got this the all right you have things that you can acknowledge that you're not in a good place and it's that they do go then you don't get to make any self-destructive decisions and get up and go do about the things you have to do and i was like whatever that is like convicted or whatever i love that bro but some stuff's not fun i like the uh the way rogan phrases it is since we're so close to the rogan's fear obviously yeah uh wait let us in just banging on the door please um how many times do we have to say uh he says he likes making the gym miserable for himself yeah because then that's the hardest thing in his day and he controls it yeah so then anything else that comes after that is like whatever i already did something way harder than this today yeah i love that versus like yeah jim is supposed to be like let me gamify the gym yeah or like let me gamify everything yeah and then maybe the maybe that's why people are so unhappy it's because you said you you assigned happiness to this and you think that you deserve happiness in all experiences that you have which is insane nuts 24 7 yeah well let's make this one like sometimes stuff like sometimes a flight just sucks yeah sometimes a travel delay it sucks i don't even know what it's sometimes like is that sometimes you could go years of just wasn't of suck yeah okay okay yep well then well is this yeah you who said you this was supposed to be a 10 out of 10 who said every day was supposed to be a 10 out of 10 sometimes you just come home cook dinner and then your cable's out and you go well do it again tomorrow yeah and if this is if this like level if that derails like have you seen those things where those women like uh do that uh they're like jumping on those mini trampolines and they got those harnesses up to the roof and they were like hey and we make fun of that or like the the um uh the whole the peloton or like just run because running go putting on running shoes and going outside and circling your block four times sucks yeah and there are things you could do to maybe put on some make it better yeah i'm not knocking the I'm not knocking the creative workout space. And I'm also a Peloton guy. I would be a hypocrite if I said it wasn't good things. I like it. Good for all those things. But the mindset has to be, hey, not everything's going to be sunshine and roses. Sunny days wouldn't be so special if it wasn't for rain. 50 cent, the prophet said that. Dang, dude. The act of cycling still sucks, though. Yes. Yes, right. You're not making that any easier. You can put all the charts up there. You could go surrounded by supermodels or whatever the scenario where you would be. This is your gym. I'm trying to think of the best way you're like, I would love to go to that gym. Yeah, right. Or like all your – you work out like with the Falcons. Right. Then it would be better, but you still got to squat the 400 pounds. Yoga with goats? Yeah. Like those ones? No, we're not going there. that's weird i think that yeah i think the uh do the yoga though finally easton agrees there is 33 33 minutes in he's like all right you guys are right on that yeah you still gotta do yoga you still gotta do the pose maybe i'll distract myself enough unfortunately like what's the girl the olympic girl they were just like i like doing hard stuff yeah look at look up that quote the girl from the olympics the quote about uh pain i like pain or something the girl don't google i I like pain.

Right, when's a good time? When should we? Let me know. When should I start a business? When should I get in shape? When should I get in? You tell me, dude, imagine me not getting engaged because of other things that were happening in the world. That have nothing to do with you, by the way. And that you can't control. If there were things happening in my family, I wouldn't put up – the only time I wouldn't get engaged is at one of my siblings' weddings that night. I'll wait until the morning. Good for you. Maybe. Yeah. Nice. I mean that's the right call. They're talking – I know what they're talking about. I'm going to say I'm a little unsure what you're talking about, but I know what they're talking about. Yeah. We know what they're talking about. That's a very – that's an unhappy perspective. And what has brought me more joy in my life than anything is having kids. I'll say this. Yes, what do you mean? Try it. Yes, dude, what do you mean? 10 out of 10, couldn't recommend more. Yeah, go do that. It's the best. And then you won't have that perspective, I bet. I bet you won't think like that once you have a child. We should flag this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we'll follow along and see when she finds a partner who she's in love with and cares about very much. No, we don't have to flag it. Let's see if she has kids. Well, she just won't be talking. Right. But if we're doing internet accountability here. Yeah. We got the clip. Okay. You better not have kids. Dude, this reminds me. Bookmark. Yeah, better not have. Reminds me. We have a guest coming in that is the biggest episode we ever had on our podcast. That guest is coming in. Yeah. In a couple weeks. She has a child now. Yes. And she didn't when she came in. Right. Let's ask her. Can't wait. About. Again, she gets on the internet. And she's a very – we're all on the internet. She makes a living of being on the internet. Let's ask her about that. How her perspective shifted? Yes. Yeah, no question. Because just observing her, I can tell it has. I can feel it. Watching her now, I can feel the difference. And it's the best, man. I think people should be more selfish. Dude, I'm – yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Take control. Take control of your own life. Yes. You want to start a business? You want to get your body in shape? You want to put your relationships with your family back together? What do you want to do? Do it. Yes. Do it now. Don't do it tomorrow. Do it now. I mean, imagine the mental handcuffs. I'm getting too preachy. No, but we're on it today, man. I got the self-control thing. It went viral. Now I'm a different guy, dude. I'm like, hey, listen, John Six. You're like, whoa, chill, dude. You're built different now. Shouts out this girl for her baby, by the way. Congratulations. Yeah, and I like putting that on the other piece of content. Yeah. Anyway, here's my ultrasound. Stellar, dude. Go get it. Yeah, get about your life. Oh, man. Let me see. These started from – no, let's not do that one. You sent the most links you've ever sent today. Gosh, dude. Let's go to – This is what he was doing on his bad morning. You're just adding this to the list. Oh, yeah. Go to all the way to the bottom, Friends Post. I forgot what this one was. blind liking your friends posts nice way you don't even see what the video is you don't see what the carousel is single photo you just see it's your homie and they put themselves out there you just double tap okay stop that's it hold on don't comment yet don't comment yet okay go to the other one there's one right above that there's about one right above uh this one for friend i think so okay i think so could be wrong what is this your content are low-key haters yeah i said what i said and i know there's going to be people in the comments being like not everybody is chronically on social media some of you guys will literally post taylor swift who doesn't even know that you exist okay on your story congratulating her on her engagement when it comes to supporting your friend all of a sudden you can't do that it takes two seconds to literally double tap the screen and show some support or comment or even send them a text being like hey yeah we got it we got it okay i think there's one more i think there's one more friends is it like uh maybe go to create art. Is that it? Maybe it's this one. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. It's not that one. Stop. Okay, but we got it. Okay. I also didn't know I could click and pause. That's great. Yeah, well, I can now. Yeah. We learned something. Just learning something. And we get audio clip. Yeah, we got it all. There we go. Okay. Let me say this. There's a lot of content surrounding this also, supporting your friends, liking their stuff, putting your friends on. I, as someone who... Oh, boy. Hold on, wait. We're cooked. Wait, hold on. Cam, get ready, bro. We might shut it down. Brother, I think your friends on social media, your followers are like everybody that runs to make an Olympic comparison at the bobsled. They all run and send you. and i mean i needed my friends i'll say this because i i go to my instagram of my uh followers that have liked my stuff yeah all that's all my family all my none of them none of them all right they got me here they got they pushed me and they got me started if you are if you are anywhere deep into any kind of creative online anything and you're still relying on your friends it's bad All right, we're not going to disagree as much as I thought we were. Okay. I understand. You shouldn't rely on them. I agree. And shaming your friends to be like, where are y'all supporting? It's bad. I agree. Your art is bad. But if you saw it and you didn't like it, I mean – It's not good. Why wouldn't you like it? Just double-tap. You're right there. Yeah, yeah, your friend stuff. I'm not saying like I expect all my closest friends and family to engage like crazy on myself. I don't expect it. Yeah. But if you see it, throw it a like. What are we doing? Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that I think people don't see. just based on that algorithm. And I do blind like everything. You do? Yeah, I don't blind like anything. I don't blind like anything. I'm a chronic double-tapper. You do? Meg, you'll be like, hey, did you see so-and-so announce blah, blah, blah, blah? And I'll be like, no. She's like, you liked it. Oh, really? I'm like, I... I'll get you in trouble right now. What was it? Oh, yeah, dude. In 2026, you're blind liking stuff? Yeah. You get fired for that, dude. Well, yeah. I think if you have to... If you have to like your friend's post for them to know that they're supporting you, I think there's a problem there, too. I agree. Yeah. I agree. This is like shaming all your following for not supporting your stuff. Yeah. And I'll tell you, at the beginning of my career, I would have these viral videos, and I was very early into having a publicist. Nice. And I was like, hey, once I release a funny Christian video, send it to the publications. Like email, like, hey, John Chris just dropped Christian whatever. Yeah. And none of them ever picked it up because they want to find it. Yeah. They want to like your friend. They want to they don't want to be told they have to like anything. Let me I could go to like Drake's post and not my neighbor who has a lawn care business. Sure. Yeah. I would argue that the Drake post that doesn't help him. No. But the likes, shares, follows at the beginning. But you shouldn't be relying on people that are your friends. I agree. They can get you going. Yes. Well, actually, they have to get you. I like the bobsled analogy. That's good. Yeah. They have to all my friends. And then I feel like everybody it's like it's like this podcast. Everybody that that was on from the beginning, liked it, shared it. And now that y'all get to we get to enjoy all this because you got us here. Yeah. And you don't even have to work anymore. You got to start. You know, I'm saying the friends got you started, got you moving. And now I feel like I could be wrong, but I feel like all of my friends and family go, look at him go. Yeah. They're not hating on it. They go. Yeah. He doesn't even. look at what we helped him do. They're on the sideline, hands on their knees. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dang, look at him. There's artists that I have pushed. I mean, it's artists in music and comedy that go, hey, I still like some of the, when a comic posts their tour dates, if I like it and go, hey, my guy's out here. That does help. That does help because the algorithm crushes non-content posts like that. And I got a big platform. But yeah, putting on – and a lot of – they're talking about a business or something you're going to start. And just to shame your closest friends and family for not putting you on, you maybe look in the mirror. Yeah, you shouldn't rely on it. And when it comes, you should cherish it because it is really special. Yeah. Like the people who do champion yourself even way down the line is like, dang, man, you're special. You're the exception, not the rule. Yeah. That's cool. It feels great. Yeah. All right. We agree. I thought for sure we were going to go the opposite way. That was close. Damn, we're good, dog. We're straight, we're straight, we're straight. Yeah, we're straight. Go to this. I don't know if we're going to agree on this. Go to conspiracy. Oh, no. Let me try this new pause technique. Oh, yeah, dude. This is so much better now. That's crazy. Change the game, dude. So much better. Here we go. I mean this slightly disrespectfully, but everything probably feels like a conspiracy to you when you're stupid. Why is that adding up to me? Probably because you're not good at math. It's okay. hold on hold on you want to watch it again i'm confused yeah oh no no no don't tell him john next clip watch it again let's just watch it we can watch it again all right i'm not i'm not the math's not math there disrespectfully but everything probably feels like a conspiracy to you when you're stupid why isn't this adding up to me probably because you're not good at math Okay. So basically, low intelligence people, everything is a conspiracy. It doesn't make sense. People with high intelligence, I get it. Yeah. Let me clarify why I'm confused. Just because I understand that this now makes me the joke. I get it. But let me explain my position. I thought you were joking. No. Okay. I'm confused that this was posted six days ago when every conspiracy ever has come to be true. Oh, yeah. I think she's saying like – So what are you talking about? This is the dumbest post you could put up right now. I think she's saying like if you're over here like, oh, bro, you're a conspiracy theorist. You're out of your mind. It's because you think it's a conspiracy theory because you're dumb and you don't see that it could be real. Oh, maybe I'm wrong on the clip. Yeah, I mean – Is she in or not? I don't think she's in. Everything's a conspiracy. Is that what you're saying? I think she's saying like she's bashing on people who accuse people of being a conspiracy theorist. Yes, yes. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah. That's what I read it as. I could be wrong. But there's a lot of things that are – but it's not confusing to me. That's not a conspiracy. It's not confusing how the Epstein ring thing could be true. All right. It's not a conspiracy. It is true. What? It is true. You said it could be true. I said it is true. Well, yeah. Yeah, but that doesn't – it's not like – that doesn't throw me off. No. Yeah. I go, there's a rich guy. He was doing bad things. Yes. He tried to cover it up, and he tried to get – that's not confusing to me. But if you still think that's a conspiracy, you might be dumb. Oh, that's what she's saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, cool. Or that everything. Daps. Sorry, Daps, we got confused. Daps. That everything you go outside, oh, the roads aren't paved. It's Freddie O'Connell taking bribe money from the Saudis. So he can, you're like, we had an ice storm and then it froze and then it melted. That's what happens. It's not confusing to me. You know, everything is. Now I'm confused again. What? I don't know what we're talking about. You literally walk outside, everything is a – because you don't understand how life works. Okay. That's what she's saying. Okay. There are some things that – like the Epstein, it's not a conspiracy. But it is to some people, technically. That's what – yeah. Okay. It's okay. I like it. It turns out we're all stupid and – Yeah. There's a – what is that quote that we've said in here before that it's gold, glory, or girls? is like the three yeah the three motivations for everything back to literally we had four people on this planet and number three killed number four cain and abel yeah what this has been going on for the for since the dawn of time yeah you know what i'm saying they're like everything is like it's really not it's really those three things everything is motivated by those three things there's no remember I talked to what's his name after Charlie Kirk and he was like it's evil. There's evil people in the world and they want to... It's not a conspiracy theory to me. You go, yeah, I got it. Dude, I still don't get it. Oh my, dude. Alright, we'll just move on to the next thing. Is she shaming people who are dismissive of these theories? It doesn't matter. I don't think it matters, does it? I'm pretty sure she's saying If you were to think the Epstein conspiracy If you think everything is a conspiracy It's because you're dumb Conspiracy meaning you don't think it's real Or you're looking into it What am I missing here? I'm missing everything now Am I ruining this episode? No I don't get it I don't get what she's saying The low intelligence people think everything's a conspiracy Right oh you oh it's a conspiracy that our episode got taken off youtube but all the conspiracies have been so validated recently that's my point so like this feels to me like a very basic validating conspiracy theories they're just like validating facts yeah that okay cool i gotta know this is one episode you can't get on this high brave brain wave frequency i'm not sleeping well yes this guy's got two kids yeah goodness this is a bit of a confusing setup thank you yeah I'm a confusing set up. Well, let's figure it out. I'll figure it out after the episode. It doesn't matter. They'll just trash me in the comments. Who cares? No, they won't. We're keeping it then. Clip it. Clip it. No. Oh, I don't even. I forgot what all these are. I mean, we could just cold watch them. No, let's go from the bottom. Let's go from the bottom. Okay. Yeah, go to laziness. Oh, no.

I don't need to – I'm offline. I made a career and a living for myself. I didn't need – I didn't rely on all of my friends to put me on. I didn't ask you guys if I could manage your money. Yeah, for my Etsy shop. Yeah. Yeah, dude, I'm sick of everyone asking. Dude, I'm making trades now. Big screen. Oh, it's a big screen. Yeah, this is not going to ruffle any feathers. Let's get to this one. Everybody agree with this. A sign that you're getting old is that you still have to make big purchases on a big screen. I saw someone book a flight on his phone today. Yeah. That's crazy. If it's over $100, that's a laptop activity. Big spending means big screen. I thought everyone knew. Facts. Yeah. You agree with that? I used to agree with this. Oh, you're moved on? I used to be one of these people. Yeah, I graduated. Yeah, Easton? No, I'll buy a house on a phone. A house? I bought my cars on a phone. Let me think. All of them. Yeah, I got to go. I got to go. All the links we're trying to buy a house right now, I got to wait until I get to the laptop. Nice. I got to wait until I get to the big screen. Yeah. I'm not looking on a phone. I just need more order. Isn't it weird? That's so weird that that's a thing. And you don't. I mean, a house I'd probably get on laptop because you've got to be emailing back before. You've got to do some cross-reaching. Well, when I'm looking at house stuff and then I think also – House of all. No, I've got one for you. All right. Vacation. I've booked that on a phone too. On a phone? Yeah. The destination? All-inclusive. That's crazy, dude. That's nuts. If I'm going to look at it, I need multiple windows. I need to be – Maggie's a tabs girl. Yeah, she is. She's got a billion tabs. They're all like this wide. If you're into something like a travel, I feel like travel you need to be. If you're like price comping, then yeah, you probably need to go there. I'm not saying I'm doing it the right way. I'm going to go travel. I'll book an airfare on a cell phone. Yeah. I'm going to go vacation. I could buy a car on a phone. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to go vacation and yeah, definitely a vacation in a house. Yeah. Big purchases. That's fair. Yeah. Totally fair. But I think some of the middle ones I've graduated, I wouldn't used to do airfare on a phone. Now, yeah, I do it on the phone. I don't think I've ever booked a plane ticket on a laptop. I think it's a millennial thing. Lydia just got a laptop. I got her one for Christmas. She didn't have one. She was on a phone only? Yes. Like an iPad? No. What? Just has a phone. Nuts. I mean, what would she use it for, though, I guess? If you've gone that far, what do you need? Now she's like wedding stuff. She's like looking. She needs a laptop, and now she's like, this thing's changed my life. I go, yeah, dude, I didn't understand how you weren't doing it. Yeah. Because she has a desktop at work. So she says she always has to stay late at work to do stuff. And now she doesn't. Do desktop stuff. Yeah. Hey, I can't tonight. Why not? I got to do some desktop stuff. Desktop stuff? Yeah, dude, I can't just do it. Because, hey, you know what I'm doing right now? Not working. Having a desktop is crazy. Not working. Not a desktop or like a big one. Yeah. Big screen. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, get into it. Call someone. What's call someone? I don't know. What else you got? Go to call someone. I don't know what that one is. We're just flying through clips today. I love it. Here we go. Oh, no. Here's how you test a man. You don't ask him his salary. You don't ask him his credit score. You hand him something broken, and if he says, oh, I think you should call someone, immediate disqualification. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I disagree. X 100. Now, you know what this episode should be? John disagrees with the clip. Yeah, because you guys have seen these clips blind. Right. Okay. First of all, you can tell by this girl's outfit and her accent that she is talking about a blue-collar man. Yeah. I cannot fix anything. Right. I cannot fix one thing. And my fiancé, dare I say publicly, is the most taken care of in every possible way. I don't know how to do – if we got two hours, I'm not fixing the anything. Either somebody is coming to fix it or we're going to go and hire it. I don't agree with this at all. This is like the guy that can do everything. He can also do nothing. Her house is probably held together by thumbtacks and duct tape. Well, yeah, it's just like – what is he talking about, the lawnmower? Right. What are you handing him? The sink. Right. Yeah. What are you handing? It's broken stuff. I have like a five minute. Why does she have so many broken things? Right. Yeah. Maybe stop breaking stuff. I think she's talking about like if the smoke detector is beeping. I think she's – If you don't know to change the battery in that and you have to call an electrician to fix that. Yeah. All right. Yeah. I have a five minute rule. I like – Yeah. If I can't figure out how this is supposed to go in five – not if I can't fix it in five minutes. If I can't figure out a path to fixed in five minutes, I'm calling somebody. I don't know if that's true, Alex. What do you mean? Go. You fixed your dishwasher or your dryer or whatever? You were on that for two weeks. Yeah, but I understood how it needed to get done. Oh, I see what you're saying. If I can't figure out a path in five minutes, then I'm off. I see. But if I can be like, oh, okay, yeah, I can figure this out. Then I'll do it. I've got to get the thing. And if when I get to that, I don't have that screwdriver. Then I can, I know how to. Yeah. Yeah. No one needs me. I built a patio. That's what I'm saying. Built a patio. No one needs me trying to figure out how to fix the anything. Sure. Anything. Yeah. I mean, there's a guy that comes over to the lady's house that does a lot of stuff. Yeah, and I just make sure I'm not there for that. I don't need to be emasculated in person. Yeah. I go, well, this stuff looks hung up. Looks great. Yeah. Wow. He was here again, huh? Yeah. He's just looking around at all the stuff that's done. Wait, wait, wait. Should we get credit? for fixing it because we paid for it yeah we fixed it yeah you solve the problem yeah how do you care how it would be better because now we can spend more time together yeah see but unfortunately when women are giving you something to do they want to also tell you how and when to do it yeah and so then it becomes a problem yeah and then you're angry then you're pissed yeah divorced and divorced that's it and not putting your cart up at the girl yeah yeah this is how you want to at a man be my guest you know what i saw something on i saw something on uh online somewhere they're like the most embarrassing thing is scrolling tiktok and seeing people's like relationship takes and then doing them it's like dude this is all like we have i have the other side of most of these clips today yeah you go hey don't don't be or like sending clips we try not to send like relationship clips to each other this is the internet this is somebody said uh you should go out with your spouse more someone said you should go out with your spouse less someone said you should serve them someone says you should lead them you can find anything on there also it's your algorithm so it's like this is what you want to hear yeah what you want to hear yeah you if you if a man ever disagrees with you uh divorce him you need a man that disagrees with you more Like, you can find anything on there. To be like, see? You can find anything on there. The most low IQ thing is scrolling through the internet and, like, making, like, putting that to your, or to, like, see? Like being influenced? Yeah. Like being like, this is right. Yeah. You go, huh? Yeah. Like, where does she draw the line, you know? This girl? Yeah. Like, you put up drywall or something? Yeah. Like, what do you? Oh, yeah. You can't do that. Yeah. I got a demographic for her. Yeah. Speaking of changing the bed, speaking of changing now, dude, Easton, dude, we're about to do an ad read. It's crazy, dude.

Thanks, Miracle Made, for sponsoring this episode. Check in. Clock in. QR. I don't even know what QR codes is, brother. Click on that one. I like this. I know what this is. I know what this is. I think I speak for everyone when I say, like, we're all set with the QR code menus at restaurants. Like, I don't want to have my phone out kind of zooming in, like, trying to figure out what appetizers I want. Oh, is there a kid's menu? Boomer take? I don't know. Let's be done with it. Just give me a piece of paper. It doesn't have to be laminated. It doesn't even have to be that nice. I don't need a folding book. Just give me a piece of paper with the menu on it. But can we just go back to that permanently? Agree. Dang. Agree. 100%. Resweet. Agree. this comment you speak for everyone for sure yeah yeah no like we who wants this yeah y'all are skimming out on the menus just pay for the menus just make menus just make a menu because i think part of the going out to eat is is the community the hanging out there we can get on our phones if we need to we don't need we don't need also i got one where that you got on your phone to request a waiter no no no to get sonic at the request sit down restaurant you can press you get on your phone because you start you first of all you start like a username and password nope nope shut it down nope we should find restaurants who are exclusively qr code menu restaurants go onto their web page right click desktop yeah right click desktop for sure print page and just Just walk in and pass out menus on the table. Oh, yes. It looks like y'all need these. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want these? Here you go, guys. You're welcome. Hey, and I see you're on that. Hey, and just walk out. That's a great idea. That's how easy it is. Yeah. Right-click print. Yeah. Right-click print. That's it. And then the only – I'm trying to think of the other side of it. Is the restaurant is like has to clean them maybe or has to print them. It's not harder to clean than all the dishes they use every day. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Or also maybe – I mean Waffle House has the same menu for as long as I've been alive. I like the places with the menu on the table. Like it's under a thing on the table. I like that. That's a good movie. I like – well, I think part of the – like part of the – I think that Carvana, you know Carvana? That's where I bought all my cars. You bought your cars on Carvana? All of them. Every one. How? Online? On my phone. I think it's fun to like go look at one. Yeah. Test drive it. I agree. You're saying you didn't. I didn't. Yeah. It's fun to look at the menu. Yes. It's fun to see what's going on. Sit down. hey can we get you some water let me see what's going on here versus you take out all the like that's part of the that's part of the experience yeah also it's then sometimes your phone doesn't work in there and you're like well i don't have the menu yeah it's so annoying yeah get rid of them yeah nobody needs them nobody wants them yeah they had a they were helpful during covid yeah and yeah now we're done with that hey babe can you get off your phone no sorry i'm looking at the entrees yeah you're looking at the menu yeah yeah just give us the thing that is really But I think people will be a part of, just like tipping will be a part. I want my voice to be logged in the when we're done with this. We also helped with that. No question. Yeah, we've got to be done with them. Yeah. We'll go to – hold on, hold on, hold on. Disagreeing. We'll end on this one. I'll end on this one. I just have one question. When the did we as a society forget the adult skill to simply be able to disagree without getting offensive? You can make a video about how to lose weight and someone will comment, I'm trying to gain weight. Okay, well then this isn't for you. Social media has trained people to think that if something doesn't reflect their personal experience or outlook on life, that it is wrong or ill intent. But we can have different opinions and different perspectives and agree to disagree. yeah 100 yeah agreed yeah absolutely that's what we've been talking about the whole episode right on yeah you can that's fine if that's what i'm saying it's kind of it's kind of embarrassing for me to like get like to get on x you're like i that's it that i could not i had an easy dunk on that guy for like someone a uga fan saying they felony is where they draw the line an easy dunk and what was at the rim yeah and i just had yeah it just lobbed me up and i could i could and then get go it's like it was right it's like maybe you go all right yeah i'll consider it i i used to have the thought that uh like social media is a tool it depends on how you want to use it like it should it's for the most part a good thing just a current state of social media with how algorithms are purposed i'm i don't believe that anymore no way yeah because they're only giving you stuff that you should agree with yeah or that you do agree with and then you think everything should be something that you agree with and that's just not the case going and if you like every i'll say this everybody that hates on uh me if you ever do go to their page it's hate yeah the whole thing's hate yeah it's all about whoever that posted this and it's usually about a certain uh the things that i am right it's hating on the other things that i am like whether and it's just like dang it's embarrassing i have a question yeah and i don't know if any of us are this person's i don't think we are so probably we can't answer it i don't i'm not a hater like that like let's just turn that person a hater yeah i don't use social media as a hater so the things that i'm being served in my algorithm are things that i typically am agreeing with yeah if you're or am for or interested oh yeah if you're a hater yeah you're engaging with things mostly that you disagree with so does it continuously serve you more things that you disagree with i think by logic the answer is yes right yeah so then the algorithm is literally just giving you things that are going to make you mad all the time because because of your yeah Because you're telling it, I like to engage with those things. Yeah. Dang. And we wonder why people are so upset. And they do, but if you want to do that, they'll go, we'll help you do that. For sure. Yeah, because we've got ads to sell. You want to spend some time on this app? We'll help you. You want to go down this road? Yeah. We'll help you. Oh, you're a hardcore Republican and you hate Democrat stuff? Here's a bunch of Democrat stuff. Hey, you know what I got? I got a camera angle at the other camera angle. Yeah. I got that. Here you go. Yeah. I got an alternative. Yep. Yeah, I got some commentary on it. Gosh, I never thought of it like that. If you want to go down that road, we would love to help you. How far you want to go? Let's keep going. Yeah. I'll keep going. Yeah. All right. We'll end on a comment that, brother, I got to – this is real life. Okay. This has happened to me in real – let me – I took an exact – I wrote it down. I was in – I was staying in a hotel this weekend. I was at a Holiday Inn. okay i don't mean to flex okay before the show it was probably two three o'clock because i go in there you know work and do some stuff and then i come out and we go to dinner okay so i'm in that in the lobby yeah a woman asks me for a photo now the other woman got a photo and then she goes can can I get one? And I go, yeah, absolutely. Took a pic. And then she goes, I wrote this down. Exactly. She goes, she wanted to take a photo of just me. Like her not in it. Yeah. Just, can I get one of just you? And I quote, I wrote this down. I need something to help me sleep. Whoa, John. What does that mean? see you next week see you next week I mean yeah sure it was a little weird but on the net on the it was a positive you cannot be serious on the net it's a positive you
