00:06 Shawn and Joshua explore the themes of
00:08
00:08 Valentine's Day, romance, and personal
00:11
00:11 experiences with love. It's not all good

00:13 times. Joshua asks Shawn if he's in the

00:16 wrong by not being one for significant
00:18
00:18 romantic gestures on Valentine's. Plus,
00:21
00:21 is the penguin running to the mountains
00:23
00:23 just a metaphor for a midlife crisis?
00:25
00:25 Shawn thinks so. All that and more.
00:28
00:28 Enjoy the show.
00:29

00:47 like we do every week, Joshua, my buddy,
00:50
00:50 my man, my lover. Uh, how are you doing
00:52
00:52 this week?
00:53
00:53 >> Hey, buddy. And you know, this is I I
00:56

00:58
00:58 really good and um I'm even more excited
01:01
01:01 because we just hit February and
01:02
01:02 everybody, this is the month of love.
01:06
01:06 >> Exactly. Exactly. See, this [ __ ]
01:08
01:08 caught it. He caught it.
01:09
01:09 >> I mean, this is the month of love. And
01:11
01:11 if you haven't fallen in love yet, you
01:13
01:13 still got time. It's so early in the
01:15
01:15 year. But um yes. Hello, Sean. Hello
01:17
01:17 everybody listening. Hello everybody
01:19
01:19 watching. Happy that we're here with

01:24
01:24 >> hey Josh,
01:26
01:26 >> I know that you're just a side note on
01:29
01:29 this real quick because you brought
01:30
01:30 something to my attention real fast.
01:32
01:32 >> Um
01:33
01:33 >> you said that it it's still early to
01:35
01:35 find love, which correct, but if you
01:37
01:37 find love this week, are you obligated
01:39
01:39 to spend Valentine's with that person?
01:43
01:43 >> That that's a good question. It's like
01:44
01:44 finding somebody right before Christmas,
01:46
01:46 right? It's like uh
01:48
01:48 >> you're still, you know, maybe you just
01:50
01:50 put a a budget on that. Maybe you put
01:52
01:52 some kind of number like I just met you
01:54
01:54 so like you would normally take him out
01:56
01:56 to dinner anyways so you don't go above
01:57
01:57 and beyond cuz you did just meet. So I
01:59
01:59 mean
01:59
01:59 >> Yeah, I feel that. No, I agree.
02:01
02:01 >> But don't don't overextend yourself.
02:03
02:03 Yeah. Don't act like you're some super
02:05
02:05 romantic like you're like you do this
02:06
02:06 all the [ __ ] time, you know?
02:09
02:09 >> Don't be a troll. Don't be a Don't be a
02:10
02:10 Valentine's Day troll. I guess I could
02:12
02:12 say just don't
02:13
02:13 >> Valentine's Day troll. Yeah,
02:15
02:15 >> that seems like a topic for next week,
02:18
02:18 >> right? Yeah, buddy. No, I'm excited to
02:21
02:21 be here and let's let's get it popping.
02:23
02:23 Let's get
02:23
02:23 >> Let's [ __ ] go. Speaking of popping,
02:25
02:25 Joshua, what is inside of your cup this
02:27
02:27 week, my dude? What are you sipping on
02:29
02:29 tonight?
02:29
02:29 >> All right. Uh, I'm having a real hard
02:32
02:32 time pronouncing this drink. Um,
02:35
02:35 >> yeah,
02:36
02:36 >> I think it's called Negroni. It's It's a
02:38
02:38 Negroni.
02:39
02:39 >> Yeah, look at that.
02:40
02:40 >> So, this is a gold Negrroni. Uh, it's a
02:43
02:43 straightaway little shot. Uh, what is
02:45
02:45 this? Like a couple ounces, whatever
02:46
02:46 this is. And this is still from the 12
02:49
02:49 days of Christmas. Holy [ __ ] I I'm I
02:51
02:51 really hope by the time we're done with
02:53
02:53 this whole podcast as I've gotten I I
02:55
02:55 get through all of these [ __ ] drinks,
02:57
02:57 dude. This is kind of sad, but good at
02:59
02:59 the same time. Just shows I'm not
03:00
03:00 alcoholic, like I always say. Um, I've
03:02
03:02 never had one of these. So, [ __ ] I
03:04
03:04 don't even know if you're supposed to
03:05
03:05 shake it. But this little guy right here
03:07
03:07 is
03:09
03:09 um what's it? It's 50 proof. So, let me
03:12
03:12 pop this.
03:12
03:12 >> Less than the last one from last week,
03:14
03:14 so that's good.
03:15
03:15 >> Yeah, I think what last week was was 60
03:17
03:17 or
03:17
03:17 >> 60? Yeah, 60.
03:18
03:18 >> Jesus, man.
03:19
03:19 >> I don't even remember. That's how
03:21
03:21 sideways it got me. Uh, but let me go
03:22
03:22 and pour it up. What's the color on this
03:24
03:24 thing? Okay. It almost looks like wine.
03:27
03:27 >> Interesting. That's an interesting
03:29
03:29 color.
03:30
03:30 >> It It really almost looks like wine, but
03:32
03:32 uh like I said, I've never ordered one
03:34
03:34 of these in the bar. Um, so I have no
03:36
03:36 idea what it's supposed to taste like,
03:38
03:38 but I do know because of the back of the
03:39
03:39 can, it has gin. It has uh some dry
03:43
03:43 vermouth in it. And yeah, so let's see.
03:46
03:46 Cheers, everybody.
03:48
03:48 >> Cheers, buddy. Here you go. Taking a
03:50
03:50 sip. Small sip. Hesitant sip as he is.
03:52
03:52 >> Yeah, I probably should have put I
03:54
03:54 probably should have put that in the
03:55
03:55 freezer and got it cold before because
03:56
03:56 it's been sitting up in the studio here
03:58
03:58 for a while. Uh
03:60
03:60 >> yeah, I hope it gets better as the as
04:01
04:01 the episode goes on cuz that tasted like
04:03
04:03 that did not taste good.
04:05
04:05 I can tell you right now, Joshua, it
04:07
04:07 doesn't it doesn't get better.
04:09
04:09 >> It doesn't Oh, you've had one.
04:12
04:12 >> Yeah. So, I guess I haven't I haven't
04:14
04:14 talked about this, but when I went down
04:15
04:15 there to visit uh in December uh the
04:19
04:19 lovely old lady and uh your old lady as
04:22
04:22 well, Joshua, bought me that same kit uh
04:25
04:25 for Christmas. Uh and I had every single
04:28
04:28 one of those uh with my family as like a
04:30
04:30 Christmas little celebration. And
04:32
04:32 everyone's least favorite uh was the one
04:34
04:34 that you're sipping on right now. So uh
04:36
04:36 there's that. I know from experience
04:38
04:38 that one does not get better. It's only
04:41
04:41 going to get uh it's basically if you
04:42
04:42 don't like the flavor of chin, which is
04:44
04:44 like real like herbbally uh alongside
04:47
04:47 that driver mouth. It's it's it's not
04:49
04:49 for everybody. And I know there was like
04:51
04:51 this big thing with Negronis a few weeks
04:54
04:54 a few weeks a few years back was like
04:56
04:56 making a resurgence. Uh but no, it's not
04:58
04:58 it's not good. Not good. I don't know
05:01
05:01 what kind of resurgence it's supposed to
05:03
05:03 make. Maybe it's because it was got so
05:04
05:04 damn dusty people forgot what it
05:06
05:06 actually tastes like had to make a
05:08
05:08 comeback
05:09
05:09 >> to be reminded. You know, it's like an
05:11
05:11 X. Like, let me date you again to see
05:13
05:13 how bad this [ __ ] was. I feel like this
05:15
05:15 drink is like that. Like
05:16
05:16 >> you were you were you tasted like [ __ ]
05:18
05:18 from the beginning and it ended the same
05:20
05:20 way. Like,
05:22
05:22 >> man, [ __ ] That's great.
05:24
05:24 >> All right. Well, buddy, let me show you
05:25
05:25 what I got in my cup this week because
05:26
05:26 I'm kind of excited. Uh, you know me,
05:28
05:28 I'm a cider connoisseur. Uh, for those
05:30
05:30 of you who listened last week, I got
05:32
05:32 [ __ ] up and I I wanted to just not
05:34
05:34 drink anymore for the rest of my life.
05:36
05:36 But look at me back on the bandwagon,
05:37
05:37 buddy. I have another cider. This one is
05:39
05:39 by Two Towns again. This one is called
05:41
05:41 the Bad Apple. It is [ __ ] delicious.
05:44
05:44 I've had this one before. Uh, but it is
05:46
05:46 10.5%. This [ __ ] will knock you straight
05:48
05:48 on your ass. Uh, but it is basically
05:53
05:53 apples and cherry. Uh, just pour some
05:55
05:55 out real quick so I can just uh not
05:57
05:57 spill it on myself here. But cheers
05:58
05:58 everybody.
06:02
06:02 Oh yeah, that's the stuff right there.
06:04
06:04 This is basically a cider if they made
06:07
06:07 it into a uh a mead. Joshua, do you know
06:09
06:09 what a mead is?
06:11
06:11 >> I do. I don't even know what a meme is,
06:12
06:12 but what's a mead? Yeah. Like
06:13
06:13 >> so a me is like a honey wine. So uh
06:17
06:17 instead of like
06:18
06:18 >> instead of making a wine necessarily,
06:20
06:20 they've made a cider wine, an apple
06:22
06:22 cider wine, and they added honey to it.
06:24
06:24 Uh, but it gives off notes of cherry and
06:27
06:27 just beautiful apple like uh warmth, I
06:30
06:30 guess you would say, with a little bit
06:32
06:32 of citrus. So, it's it's [ __ ] it's
06:34
06:34 delicious, but it'll it'll drop you on
06:37
06:37 your ass. There's a reason why they only
06:38
06:38 sell two of these or sorry, four of
06:40
06:40 these in a case and not six. Uh, it's
06:42
06:42 because they're potent.
06:44
06:44 >> Okay. Did you know that before we
06:46
06:46 started recording? Because I I I mean,
06:49
06:49 >> know what to do your research on that.
06:51
06:51 The the mead
06:52
06:52 >> Oh, yeah. You know, did you actually
06:54
06:54 know that before we got off?
06:55
06:55 >> Joshua is an alcoholic and a
06:57
06:57 professional alcoholic at that. Huh. You
06:59
06:59 know, I know a lot of things and one of
07:01
07:01 them is mead. You know, I'm not to be
07:03
07:03 fair, I'm not a big fan of me. Like I
07:05
07:05 the flavor's okay. Sometimes it's really
07:07
07:07 basic. Uh but I'd rather have a a cider
07:09
07:09 that mimics the flavor of me because
07:12
07:12 it's delicious. Why not? You know, apple
07:14
07:14 a day keeps the doctor away. That's what
07:17
07:17 they say.
07:17
07:17 >> I mean, I love when when I learn
07:19
07:19 something. Not. See, not that I'm going
07:21
07:21 to retain that information, but it's
07:22
07:22 always nice to feel like I've learned
07:24
07:24 something.
07:25
07:25 >> And thank you for doing that.
07:26
07:26 >> You're welcome.
07:28
07:28 >> Is what I'm here for, buddy. For you.
07:30
07:30 >> Thank you. Yes,
07:31
07:31 >> of course. Uh, you want to got anything
07:33
07:33 else to talk about, buddy, before we hit
07:35
07:35 the chat with us section this week?
07:36
07:36 >> No, man. I I'm just excited to be here.
07:38
07:38 Um, I should tell everybody, not that
07:40
07:40 even really matters because because
07:41
07:41 depending on when you're listening, it
07:42
07:42 could be the morning, could be the
07:43
07:43 night. Um,
07:45
07:45 >> you know, sometimes we do these at we
07:46
07:46 record these at night, sometimes we
07:48
07:48 record these during the day. and today
07:49
07:49 happened. The sun is still out.
07:51
07:51 >> I can see the sun from my window. It's
07:53
07:53 nice.
07:53
07:53 >> Yeah. So, this is kind This is kind of
07:54
07:54 fun. Um, again, that's just needless
07:56
07:56 information, but it's just fun to give
07:58
07:58 you context for when me and Sean are
07:60
07:60 recording this for you guys. Um,
08:02
08:02 >> yeah, that's So, there you go, buddy.
08:04
08:04 That's that's all I got before we get
08:06
08:06 into the [ __ ] chat.
08:07
08:07 >> You know, it's it always makes me laugh
08:08
08:08 when people talk about small talk and
08:10
08:10 the first thing that they go to is the
08:11
08:11 weather. So, you know,
08:14
08:14 >> I mean, was that the weather? I mean, I
08:15
08:15 don't even know the weather. Yeah, we
08:17
08:17 kind of described what it's like. Sunny,
08:20
08:20 >> we can see it's

08:43

08:60
08:60 >> And the last one is romance or us.
09:03
09:03 >> Okay.
09:04
09:04 >> I feel I feel a little vibe here. Feel a
09:06
09:06 little I feel a little uh Valentine
09:08
09:08 vibe.
09:10

09:11
09:11 episode. That'll be next week,
09:12
09:12 everybody. Stay tuned for that one
09:13

09:15 get fancy for that. Uh, and we'll see.
09:17
09:17 We'll see how it goes.
09:18
09:18 >> I know. And when he says fancy, that
09:19
09:19 means I might put a college shirt on or
09:21
09:21 not. That's what he means by that.
09:22
09:22 >> He usually doesn't. I usually do my hair
09:24
09:24 for him, but whatever.
09:26
09:26 >> It's fine.
09:27
09:27 >> And not that it matters because you guys
09:28
09:28 are listening or just watching, but
09:29
09:29 sometimes I even put deodorant on for
09:30
09:30 that episode just to kind of feel fresh
09:33
09:33 when I'm here in studio.
09:34
09:34 >> Um,
09:35
09:35 >> well, I hope you don't put pants on.
09:36
09:36 That's my answer.
09:37
09:37 >> Dude, I never wear pants when doing you
09:39
09:39 know how hot it gets in here,
09:40
09:40 >> dude. If I wore pants,
09:44
09:44 you Yeah, this wouldn't be I Yeah, I'm
09:46
09:46 not gonna go any further with this.
09:47
09:47 >> Listen, no spoilers, but if you make it
09:49
09:49 to the end of this episode, like I'm
09:50
09:50 talking the very end of this episode,
09:52
09:52 there might be a little surprise in
09:53
09:53 there for you from Joshua. Just saying.
09:55
09:55 >> I know, right? The under the desk cam.
09:58
09:58 Jesus.
09:60
09:60 >> All right, buddy. What is this? Roses
10:01
10:01 are red, violets are who?
10:03
10:03 >> All right, buddy. So, because this is
10:04
10:04 the month of love, we got to I got to
10:06
10:06 hit you with a few either just fun facts
10:09
10:09 or or I'm going to ask you some
10:10
10:10 questions about, you know, leading into
10:12
10:12 Valentine's Day. And uh so I went to my
10:15
10:15 good old buddy. I don't use chatbt. I
10:17
10:17 usually do Copilot for my thing. I don't
10:19
10:19 know if I'm like
10:20
10:20 >> Copilot is like using the typewriter
10:22
10:22 instead of using the computer. I don't
10:24
10:24 know if people actually use C-pilot or
10:25
10:25 they prefer chat, but I use Copilot in
10:28
10:28 my everyday when I look stuff up. I've
10:30
10:30 given up on Google entirely. Sorry,
10:32
10:32 Google. Um,
10:34
10:34 >> sorry.
10:34
10:34 >> I know. I know. We still, you know, RP,
10:36
10:36 but I still love you, Google. Um, but
10:38
10:38 Sean, I I have to uh just throw a few
10:40
10:40 fun facts out there before I I kind of
10:42
10:42 hit you with something um that's sort of
10:44
10:44 personal, but I want to get through this
10:45
10:45 first. Um, so when it comes to
10:48
10:48 Valentine's Day, Sean, do you know
10:51
10:51 approximately like how many roses are
10:55
10:55 produced?
10:56
10:56 >> Roses? O,
10:58
10:58 >> specifically for Valentine's Day?
10:60
11:00 Specifically for Valentine's Day?
11:02
11:02 Well, [ __ ] Like rose is like the most
11:05
11:05 common flower that you give out to your
11:06
11:06 young lady, right? So, like
11:09
11:09 >> I'm I'm going to say like
11:11
11:11 >> I'm going to side on the high here. I'm
11:13
11:13 going to say like over 1 million roses.
11:17
11:17 >> Over one million. Holy [ __ ] Do you know
11:18
11:18 the population of California are like
11:21
11:21 you're just getting you say 1 million?
11:23
11:23 >> You might see 1 million roses on the
11:25
11:25 corner of like in Selenus. You know what
11:27
11:27 I mean? Or Santa Cruz or San Jose. You
11:29
11:29 might just see 1 million. Higher than a
11:30
11:30 million huh right there.
11:32
11:32 >> So what? A billion roses. Is that what
11:34
11:34 it is?
11:34
11:34 >> Okay. You went from one extreme to
11:36
11:36 another. Okay. We're going to be in the
11:37
11:37 middle here right now. All right. So
11:38
11:38 approximately 250 million roses are
11:41
11:41 produced specifically for Valentine's
11:44
11:44 Day each year.
11:46
11:46 >> Yeah. So which is kind of crazy. So
11:47
11:47 roses are the most popular choice
11:49
11:49 selected uh by about 65% of buyers
11:53
11:53 >> who sp And you know what? I thought this
11:55
11:55 is kind of funny because I don't even
11:56
11:56 know where they're getting this average
11:57
11:57 from. Again, these are facts. You know,
11:59
11:59 everything we read on the internet is
11:60
12:00 true, right? Uh
12:01
12:01 >> 100%.
12:02
12:02 >> So, the average spend on flowers on
12:05
12:05 Valentine's Day is around $484.
12:09
12:09 Can you believe that? I don't know if I
12:11
12:11 believe that.
12:12
12:12 >> $48.
12:12
12:12 >> I'm surprised it's not over 50.
12:14
12:14 >> Yeah. Well, yeah, I would say I'm
12:16
12:16 surprised it's not over 50 because I
12:18
12:18 feel like a bouquet of flowers on its
12:20
12:20 own is like $50, you know? So yeah, that
12:24
12:24 accompanied with like a bottle of wine
12:26
12:26 and some chocolate, you know, the the
12:28
12:28 common like here's your Valentine's Day
12:31
12:31 gift, you know, I feel like that in
12:33
12:33 itself would be easy 75 bucks. So
12:36
12:36 >> yeah, I I don't know where they're going
12:37
12:37 to average from. That's got to be
12:39
12:39 statewide because when I go out, if I
12:40
12:40 were to go out and buy roses, um I know
12:43
12:43 it's easily over like $65 roses.
12:46
12:46 >> Um so it's it's
12:48
12:48 >> I I don't know where they're getting
12:49
12:49 that from. Um but another fun fact for
12:53
12:53 this uh uh month of love
12:57
12:57 um uh the consumer spends around uh 29
13:00
13:00 it's called 30 bucks on Valentine's Day
13:02
13:02 candy.
13:04
13:04 >> 30 bucks on can that makes more sense on
13:05
13:05 candy. Is that right?
13:06
13:06 >> Yeah. Those chocolate hearts they're
13:08
13:08 about 10 15 bucks a piece depending on
13:10
13:10 the size and especially if you want a
13:12
13:12 good one. Like give me a Gardelli's
13:13
13:13 chocolate heart any day of the week
13:15
13:15 [ __ ] I'll take that [ __ ] down
13:17
13:17 baby. Is there is that is that your
13:19
13:19 go-to? You're not a Seas guy. You're not
13:21
13:21 a Seas candy guy.
13:22
13:22 >> Uh I used to be a Seas kind of guy, but
13:24
13:24 they kind of fell off the wayside to be
13:26
13:26 honest with you. Like no no no
13:27
13:27 disrespect to Se's very high-end
13:30
13:30 establishment most of the time, but I
13:31
13:31 feel like from what I've had in their
13:33
13:33 little boxes, h doesn't cut it. Doesn't
13:35
13:35 cut it. Just go to like one of their
13:36
13:36 like retail stores and buy one. So yeah.
13:39
13:39 >> Okay. And I have to ask you real quick.
13:42
13:42 If you had to rank, okay, of all the
13:45
13:45 holidays, where do you think Valentine's
13:47
13:47 Day ranks
13:49
13:49 as far as the spending goes? We're
13:53
13:53 ranking it by spending. Where do you
13:54
13:54 think Valentine's Day ranks for
13:56
13:56 spending?
13:57
13:57 >> Well, I would definitely say Christmas
13:58
13:58 is obviously number one, right? That's
13:60
14:00 when most people spend on Christmas.
14:02
14:02 >> Perfect.
14:02
14:02 >> And then I would probably say I'd
14:05
14:05 probably say Valentine's is number
14:06
14:06 three, right below Fourth of July. I
14:09
14:09 feel like Fourth of July is the next
14:10
14:10 like big spend.
14:13
14:13 >> Okay. Yeah. With the fireworks and all
14:14
14:14 the [ __ ] you're basically burning
14:15
14:15 money. Yeah. Even though we're
14:17
14:17 celebrating Independence Day, but go and
14:19
14:19 burn money, right?
14:19
14:19 >> Let's be careful.
14:20
14:20 >> That's what we do, right? On
14:21
14:21 Independence Day, just burn money.
14:23
14:23 >> We're not going to invest in our in our
14:25
14:25 kids' colleges or anything else, better
14:28
14:28 food. Let's just burn money. Let's just
14:30
14:30 blow it up.
14:30
14:30 >> Burn it to the ground, buddy.
14:33
14:33 But but actually it's uh Valentine's Day
14:36
14:36 ranks fifth on the largest. Uh
14:39
14:39 >> I guess Thanksgiving would probably be
14:40
14:40 have spend a lot more because you're
14:42
14:42 buying food and food kind of gets
14:44
14:44 expensive. Do you have you have the list
14:46
14:46 on you? What?
14:47
14:47 >> I I I do have a list actually.
14:50
14:50 >> Look at that Q.
14:51
14:51 >> I mean do you want the whole list?
14:53
14:53 >> Yeah. As you pull up the whole list I
14:54
14:54 I'll go through my my top five then if
14:56
14:56 knowing that Valentine's is fifth. So I
14:58
14:58 would say Christmas is first. I would
15:00
15:00 say Thanksgiving and then I would say
15:05
15:05 Halloween, Fourth of July, and then
15:07
15:07 Valentine's Day. That's that's my top
15:09
15:09 five, I would I would assume.
15:11
15:11 >> Okay. All right. So, I will go in order
15:13
15:13 right here. Christmas. And I'll even
15:15
15:15 give you dollars. Uh Christmas comes in
15:17
15:17 at $960 billion in the United States.
15:20
15:20 >> Billion.
15:21
15:21 >> Check that out. Even if you won the
15:23
15:23 Super Bowl, you couldn't even the
15:25
15:25 Powerball. You wouldn't have been able
15:26
15:26 to afford that. Um, Thanksgiving comes
15:28
15:28 in number two at 40 billion. Halloween
15:31
15:31 >> is third at 12 billion. Valentine's Day
15:34
15:34 is 26
15:36
15:36 >> billion. Wait, how do they even rank
15:38
15:38 that? That's stupid. They didn't even
15:39
15:39 put in order. That's dumb. Um, yeah,
15:41
15:41 obviously Halloween. Yeah, whatever. Uh,
15:44
15:44 Fourth of July is $8 billion. So,
15:46
15:46 >> okay. So, there's Yeah, there's the top
15:47
15:47 five then. Okay. So, yeah,
15:49
15:49 >> order may not be correct, but you you
15:50
15:50 know, I was right there. So, that makes
15:52
15:52 sense. That makes sense.
15:53
15:53 >> I'm going to stop using Copilot. [ __ ]
15:55
15:55 that. You messed that all up. I'm going
15:56
15:56 back to Google.
15:57
15:57 >> I'm going back to Google or chat.
16:01
16:01 >> All right. So, now that we got now that
16:02
16:02 we got that out of the way, I had to ask
16:04
16:04 more of a personal question, Sean.
16:06
16:06 >> Um,
16:07
16:07 >> because when it comes to Valentine's
16:09
16:09 Day,
16:11
16:11 >> um, most of you might not know me
16:14
16:14 personally, and maybe through this
16:15
16:15 podcast, over 119 episodes, you might
16:18
16:18 know me a little better, but as far as
16:21
16:21 the romance goes, and I hate to say
16:23
16:23 this, you know, like
16:26
16:26 Is it unromantic or or or disingenuous
16:30
16:30 of me to to not celebrate Valentine's
16:34
16:34 Day? Because if you've been listening
16:36
16:36 since last Valentine's Day, you know,
16:38
16:38 I'm not a big Valent Valentine's Day
16:41
16:41 person, right? I c I celebrate all, you
16:43
16:43 know, Fourth of July, Halloween, all the
16:44
16:44 other cool [ __ ] Not that this one isn't
16:47
16:47 a madeup holiday. Valentine,
16:48
16:48 >> they're all made up to some extent, you
16:50
16:50 know.
16:50
16:50 >> Clearly, people are spending what?$26
16:52
16:52 $26 billion around the United States. Uh
16:56
16:56 they're not getting my money. But but
17:01
17:01 just your perspective and maybe, you
17:03
17:03 know, go ahead and grill me in the
17:04
17:04 comments if you want to. I don't care,
17:06
17:06 man. I I get it. I get it.
17:07
17:07 >> He's got do you think it is that that
17:10
17:10 it's I don't even know if unromantic is
17:12
17:12 even a word. um or disingenuous of me to
17:17
17:17 not totally like commit to the
17:18
17:18 Valentine's Day, you know, buy the
17:20
17:20 candy, buy the roses, just go all out,
17:23
17:23 you know,
17:25
17:25 >> say like the candles.
17:27
17:27 >> Well, Joshua, dick.
17:29
17:29 >> I mean,
17:29
17:29 >> you know, like am I
17:31
17:31 >> here? Okay, so let's let's let's take
17:33
17:33 this back. I've known Joshua for years,
17:34
17:34 right?
17:34
17:34 >> There's got to be a followup at the end
17:36
17:36 real quick. Sorry to interrupt you, but
17:37
17:37 there will be an ending to like I'm
17:39
17:39 Yeah.
17:39
17:39 >> Okay. I mean, I I mean, I think what I'm
17:41
17:41 going to say probably will sum it up
17:43
17:43 pretty well. Uh, I've known Joshua for
17:45
17:45 years, and throughout the years that
17:46
17:46 I've known him, he's consistent with
17:48
17:48 this. He doesn't really spend anything
17:50
17:50 on Valentine's Day. Uh, I think
17:52
17:52 sometimes the most that he does is a
17:54
17:54 packet of seeds, uh, and, you know,
17:57
17:57 gives them to plant their own garden,
17:58
17:58 right? Uh, knowing Joshua's significant
18:02
18:02 other, uh, they're okay with this. I
18:04
18:04 know this. Uh, but I will say that when
18:07
18:07 Joshua does decide to do something for
18:10
18:10 Valentine's Day, it does make it a
18:11
18:11 little bit more special because it's not
18:14
18:14 something that he does every single
18:16
18:16 year. So, with that being said, is it
18:19
18:19 disingenuous? No, buddy. You've held
18:21
18:21 your you've held your belief and your
18:23
18:23 standard year after year, and you make
18:25
18:25 it up throughout the rest of the year
18:26
18:26 with like little gifts or, you know,
18:29
18:29 nice little quickies here and there in
18:30
18:30 the bathroom. You know, it's it's the
18:32
18:32 things you do throughout the year that
18:34
18:34 really solidify your love, right? So,
18:37
18:37 no, I don't I don't think you are. I
18:38
18:38 mean, maybe maybe a little bit, but nah,
18:40
18:40 I don't think so.
18:42
18:42 >> Okay. Because because it it's funny. And
18:44
18:44 you know what's cool about Sean is he
18:46
18:46 actually I know he's genuinely a good
18:47
18:47 friend of mine because he he knows me.
18:50
18:50 He knows my partner in crime, you know,
18:52
18:52 and he knows that she doesn't really
18:55
18:55 value Thanksgal's
18:58
18:58 date at all. No, actually,
18:59
18:59 >> she [ __ ] hates turkeys, bro.
19:01
19:01 >> [ __ ] You know, I say that because a
19:03
19:03 tangent, we both love Thanksgiving. She
19:05
19:05 does it. If I [ __ ] up Thanksgiving,
19:06
19:06 it'd be worse than Valentine's Day.
19:08
19:08 >> Oh, yeah. 100%. 100%.
19:11
19:11 >> Um, but yeah, no, Sean knows me very
19:13
19:13 well. Me and my my girlfriend um partner
19:16
19:16 and crime, whatever. Uh we we do not
19:18
19:18 celebrate Valentine's, but it's funny
19:20
19:20 when I say that to other people, like
19:22
19:22 people that I work with, they're like,
19:23
19:23 "What do you mean you're not going to
19:25
19:25 celebrate this with your partner? What
19:26
19:26 do you mean you're not going to buy
19:27
19:27 flowers? What do you I almost feel like
19:30
19:30 I get grilled and that's why I'm open to
19:32
19:32 getting grilled in the comments cuz I
19:34
19:34 want to know how people actually feel
19:36
19:36 about Valentine's Day. Um and if it's
19:39
19:39 one of those things that either makes or
19:41
19:41 breaks your heart if somebody does
19:43
19:43 something special for you during this
19:44
19:44 time of the year. So I I'm I'm really
19:46
19:46 curious because for me and my partner it
19:48
19:48 it's not just one day or one month. We
19:50
19:50 celebrate love to each other all the
19:53
19:53 [ __ ] time. So, why wait to spend 26
19:56
19:56 or yeah,$26 billion dollars for one day
19:58
19:58 of the year when we just have fun with
20:01
20:01 each other throughout the year? So,
20:03
20:03 grill me in the comments. Thank you,
20:05
20:05 Sean, for not not, you know, knowing me
20:08
20:08 genuinely because it's just funny. But,
20:10
20:10 but I I'm curious about other people and
20:12
20:12 how you spend your Valentine's Day.
20:13
20:13 Like,
20:14
20:14 >> are you judging your partner if if they
20:17
20:17 don't take Valentine's Day serious? you
20:20
20:20 know, is it is this our make it or break
20:22
20:22 it quality if they're not into
20:25
20:25 Valentine's Day? Because I'm I'm
20:27
20:27 curious, you know,
20:28
20:28 >> me too. And I would assume that I can
20:30
20:30 see it now. I think the comments are
20:31
20:31 going to go 50/50 on this because I feel
20:33
20:33 like there is a population of the world
20:35
20:35 that is real like real romantic and then
20:37
20:37 there is another side that isn't as
20:39
20:39 romantic and they're just like here kind
20:42
20:42 of thing, you know?
20:44
20:44 >> Yeah. So, so I I got to ask you, I mean,
20:46
20:46 because people might not know, um, Sean,
20:49
20:49 are you a bit like I don't want to
20:51
20:51 describe who you are, what you do for
20:53
20:53 Valentine's Day, and and I,
20:57
20:57 again, my memory, you know, escapes me
21:00
21:00 lots of times. Um,
21:03
21:03 >> for Valentine's Day, Sean, like what do
21:05
21:05 you what do you normally do for the
21:08
21:08 special someone in your life? Like, what
21:10
21:10 are you doing? Are you celebrating? Are
21:12
21:12 you buying a card? you're buying
21:13
21:13 flowers.
21:14
21:14 >> Like I I'm a romantic at heart. Uh but I
21:17
21:17 I'm kind of in the same camp as you are
21:19
21:19 where Valentine's Day is a kind of just
21:23
21:23 madeup publicity stunt to get people to
21:25
21:25 spend money, right? Uh that doesn't mean
21:27
21:27 it should take away from at least from
21:30
21:30 me personally, it doesn't mean that it
21:31
21:31 should take away from you, you know,
21:32
21:32 showing your significant other that you
21:34
21:34 care about them, right? So for us, we we
21:36
21:36 have a mutual thing where it's like we
21:37
21:37 may not get each other gifts or we may
21:39
21:39 not get each other like you know any
21:42
21:42 like cards and stuff like that all the
21:43
21:43 time, but you know, we'll plan something
21:44
21:44 around those days. And it's funny
21:46
21:46 because I was going to bring this up
21:48
21:48 later, but I'll bring it up right now.
21:50
21:50 Uh the Super Bowl is happening on
21:52
21:52 Valentine's Day weekend. And so there's
21:54
21:54 this kind of thing going around where
21:56
21:56 it's like who's going to be up like
21:58
21:58 which girlfriends and which husbands and
21:60
21:60 wives are going to be upset that it's
22:01
22:01 going on during Valentine's Day, you
22:03
22:03 know? Um, to answer that, find yourself
22:07
22:07 a partner like me who doesn't care where
22:10
22:10 they're at during the Super Bowl and we
22:12
22:12 can just go hang out, watch the Super
22:13
22:13 Bowl somewhere or not, you know? So, we
22:16
22:16 we tend to find things to do like we'll
22:18
22:18 plan a day or do something like that
22:20
22:20 around Valentine's Day, but on the day
22:22
22:22 specifically like we're not like, "Oh, I
22:25
22:25 have to get you flowers. I have to get
22:26
22:26 you chocolates." You know, it's not like
22:28
22:28 that, right?
22:28
22:28 >> Yeah. So we're
22:30
22:30 >> So you're not So are you not stimulating
22:33
22:33 the Valentine's Day economy?
22:35
22:35 >> I I wouldn't say I'm not because I I
22:37
22:37 definitely will. Like I'll definitely
22:39
22:39 get a card, right? Uh but I'm not going
22:41
22:41 to go like out of my way and I don't
22:43
22:43 expect them to go out of their way
22:44
22:44 either to do anything. So it's it's just
22:47
22:47 like one of those things like if I'm
22:48
22:48 like, "Hey, maybe I have to go to the
22:49
22:49 grocery store real quick or I have to
22:51
22:51 make a shopping run or something like
22:52
22:52 that and I see a card and I go, oh this
22:54
22:54 is kind of funny. I'll get it, you know,
22:56
22:56 but I'm not stepping out of my way to do
22:58
22:58 that." And so there's that's the
22:59
22:59 expectation.
23:01
23:01 >> All right. So give me before we move on
23:03
23:03 to this next thing because this next
23:04
23:04 this next what we're going to hit you
23:06
23:06 with next is going to be extremely fun
23:09
23:09 and you may have to either turn up or
23:11
23:11 turn down the volume on your radio with
23:13
23:13 what we get into next. Um, but Sean, I I
23:16
23:16 want you to make a suggestion for the I
23:20
23:20 just met you Valentine's Day budget and
23:23
23:23 the uh I've been with you for way I mean
23:27
23:27 maybe enough time or way too long
23:29
23:29 budget.
23:30
23:30 >> Joshua, this is this
23:32
23:32 >> give me a budget. Give us a budget, man.
23:34
23:34 I gave you numbers. I gave you numbers
23:36
23:36 earlier.
23:36
23:36 >> Simple answer, buddy. You make the first
23:40
23:40 time I've met you budget the same as the
23:43
23:43 I've been with you for 15 years budget.
23:46
23:46 So I'm saying
23:47
23:47 >> 50 bucks. 50 bucks. That should be your
23:50
23:50 your start and your end, right? Because
23:52
23:52 then after that if you maybe maybe once
23:54
23:54 a year, like after you've been with them
23:55
23:55 for a little while, if you want to spend
23:57
23:57 $200, hey, surprise surprise, you've
23:60
23:60 done something even better, right? But I
24:02
24:02 feel like 50 bucks can get you like a,
24:04
24:04 you know, a nice bottle of wine. It can
24:06
24:06 get you like some candy, a card, right?
24:08
24:08 It can get you all the the coomons. Or
24:10
24:10 you can go like a little higher end,
24:12
24:12 $65, go out to dinner, right? Or a nice
24:15
24:15 lunch, you know? But I say that 50 bucks
24:18
24:18 should always be like you're just flat
24:20
24:20 out for anything. Not even for
24:21
24:21 Valentine's Day, you know, gifts,
24:24
24:24 [ __ ] dates, [ __ ] anything.
24:26
24:26 Anything. 50 bucks.
24:27
24:27 >> I like I like 50 bucks. I mean, 50 bucks
24:30
24:30 is a good average. Yeah. I mean,
24:32
24:32 >> obviously spend a little more if you
24:34
24:34 need to, but you know, 50 bucks feels
24:36
24:36 like a a good point to be at.
24:39
24:39 >> Yeah. So, can I do a hot take real
24:41
24:41 quick?
24:42
24:42 >> Yeah, of course. What is What is
24:43
24:43 >> If uh if if uh someone's spending 50
24:46
24:46 bucks on you,
24:47
24:47 >> uh should you feel do they get do they
24:49
24:49 get a Prince Charming or a Cinderella
24:52
24:52 kiss at the end of the night?
24:53
24:53 >> I guess how they use that 50ucks, you
24:55
24:55 know? I can't tell. Like if they if they
24:58
24:58 use that 50 bucks in a creative way, you
25:00
25:00 know, maybe they found a way to like get
25:03
25:03 your name penciled in in the sky or
25:05
25:05 something, you know, then I would say,
25:07
25:07 "Yeah, buddy. I think you're going to
25:08
25:08 get a little Cinderella kiss from me,
25:10
25:10 you know?" So, depends on how you how
25:12
25:12 creative are you with that 50 bucks, you
25:15
25:15 know? Remember that show uh with Rachel
25:17
25:17 Ray before she went into like this whole
25:19
25:19 remember that show like $40 a day, you
25:22
25:22 know, and sometimes she would like get
25:23
25:23 some badass meals, right? make that $50
25:27
25:27 work for you. So,
25:29
25:29 >> yeah.
25:30
25:30 >> I actually thought you could learn how
25:31
25:31 to cook on H Rachel Ray and then I found
25:33
25:33 out that
25:34
25:34 >> No, you can't.
25:35
25:35 >> Yeah. I thought Rachel Ray knew some
25:37
25:37 [ __ ] I was like, you know what? I'm
25:39
25:39 tuning in every Wednesday 5:30. I'm I'm
25:42
25:42 going to learn some [ __ ] I'm going to
25:43
25:43 learn how to bake a chicken. I know. I'm
25:45
25:45 going to learn how to like
25:47
25:47 >> I think this is probably You know what
25:49
25:49 I'm saying? Like I thought I was going
25:50
25:50 to [ __ ] I thought I was going to
25:52
25:52 learn how to make some [ __ ] and then I
25:55
25:55 found out she is sorry. You I mean you
25:59
25:59 probably make really good food at home.
26:00
26:00 >> I bet she does. Yeah, for sure.
26:02
26:02 >> But something happened along the way.
26:04
26:04 Maybe Hollywood got to you. The sign the
26:05
26:05 lights got a little too bright.
26:07
26:07 >> Sorry, Rachel Ray.
26:09
26:09 >> You're still cool. You're still cool in
26:10
26:10 my eyes, Rachel Ray.
26:11
26:11 >> We love you, Rachel Ray.
26:12
26:12 >> Me.
26:13
26:13 >> Yeah.
26:13
26:13 >> No, for sure. I know that for a fact.
26:17
26:17 >> Yeah,
26:17
26:17 >> buddy. Before we move on to our uh our
26:19
26:19 little quarter in the jukebox here, let
26:21
26:21 me ask you something real quick because
26:22
26:22 it kind of has to do with love. Uh and
26:24
26:24 Joshua,
26:25
26:25 >> would you rather have to call your boss
26:28
26:28 big papa or mama bear in every
26:31
26:31 professional email or have to end every
26:35
26:35 phone call with I love you. Don't forget
26:38
26:38 to buy the milk regardless of who it is.
26:42
26:42 >> [ __ ] dude. Like I would love to keep my
26:45
26:45 job, but I would also love love to be
26:48
26:48 able to do this at work. So I would
26:51
26:51 1,000%
26:53
26:53 big papa
26:54
26:54 >> become couple of be comfortable enough
26:56
26:56 to say hey big papa.
26:60
26:60 Hello mama. You know what I'm saying?
27:02
27:02 Hey.
27:05
27:05 Oh [ __ ] I I I don't know on this one. I
27:09
27:09 I love I mean I'm So for those who don't
27:11
27:11 know me, hi. My name is Sean. This is
27:13
27:13 Joshua. Uh I'm pretty I'm pretty uh
27:16
27:16 pretty open with everything. Like I'm
27:18
27:18 pretty like I'm a flirt as some people
27:20
27:20 would say. So I feel like for me to end
27:23
27:23 every call with I love you, don't forget
27:25
27:25 to buy the milk would just kind of fit
27:28
27:28 who I am as a person and it wouldn't be
27:30
27:30 like weird. So I feel like I could fit
27:32
27:32 that into my life pretty easy. So I'd
27:34
27:34 probably go that route just for the
27:36
27:36 record.
27:37
27:37 >> I just want to hear the HR calls. You
27:38
27:38 know what I mean? Like I want to see
27:40
27:40 those the HR transcripts like
27:44
27:44 >> and on December 15th he said, "I love
27:46
27:46 you. Do not forget the milk." And I felt
27:49
27:49 offended.
27:52
27:52 >> Yeah, buddy. Hey, well, as you mentioned
27:53
27:53 though, I I think we got a couple
27:54
27:54 quarters. We got a couple quarters in
27:56
27:56 the juke box. And um and I think uh
27:59
27:59 what's not made up is this AI song that
28:02
28:02 we came up with. And uh I think today
28:05
28:05 >> you came up with this. This is Joshua's
28:08
28:08 turn to put the quarter in the jukebox.
28:09
28:09 It's his his chance again to to impress
28:12
28:12 everyone.
28:13
28:13 >> Joshua, describe what what is the song
28:15
28:15 called where where are we going on this
28:17
28:17 adventure?
28:18
28:18 >> Um, like I said leading up to this and
28:20
28:20 if you miss it, make sure you either
28:22
28:22 depending on how you like to listen to
28:24
28:24 your music, you either turn that up and
28:26
28:26 put the windows down or you're you're
28:28
28:28 afraid of what you're about to hear,
28:30
28:30 roll the windows up.
28:31
28:31 >> Oh no.
28:32
28:32 >> And turn it down. But I guarantee you
28:34
28:34 this one is going to be a good one. And
28:37
28:37 uh if you're listening to this in the
28:38
28:38 music or in the music in the morning,
28:40
28:40 enjoy. If you're listening to this on
28:42
28:42 the way home also enjoy, share with a
28:45
28:45 friend. This is a this is a good one.
28:47
28:47 And um
28:48
28:48 >> yeah, it's a pleasure. So uh sit back,
28:50
28:50 relax, and uh have a good time.
28:54
28:54 >> Well, Joshua's terrible at segways. The
28:55
28:55 song is called The Gravity of Dawn. Uh
28:58
28:58 for the record, The Gravity of Dawn.
29:01
29:01 Joshua, I'm sharing my screen with you
29:02
29:02 and the people watching. Everybody enjoy
29:05
29:05 the Joshua song. Good luck.
29:26
29:26 Midnight is heavy. A pressure in the
29:29
29:29 chest. Counting every heartbeat, failing
29:33
29:33 every touch. The shadows are long and
29:37
29:37 they're reaching for my name. Trying to
29:40
29:40 convince me that the ending's just the
29:43
29:43 same.
29:46
29:46 I'm looking for the horizon
29:51
29:51 through the silver.
29:55
29:55 Waiting for the weight of the dark to
29:58
29:58 finally get away.
30:04
30:04 What the light is through
30:18
30:18 all the promises I could keep.
30:23
30:23 Yeah.
30:42
30:42 The air is getting colder just before
30:45
30:45 the break. A quiet kind of mercy for the
30:49
30:49 weary and the a. I'm forgiving the
30:52
30:52 reflection, the one I didn't know.
30:56
30:56 Setting down the anchor so the rest of
30:58
30:58 me can grow.
31:02
31:02 It's a fragile kind of victory.
31:07
31:07 A soft and steady.
31:17
31:17 The night was long.
31:21
31:21 The night was cold.
31:28
31:28 But the story is only half.
31:54
31:54 through the veil. A newly burning go TO
31:59
31:59 HELL. I'M pulling through the wreckage.
32:03
32:03 I'm pling up the deep leaving all the
32:06
32:06 promises I could even kill.
32:12
32:12 Heat. Heat. Heat.
32:27
32:27 Stay in the music.
32:36
32:36 Don't
32:37

32:47 Hot dog, buddy. All right, there you go.
32:49
32:49 There is your AI song for the week. the
32:51
32:51 gravity.
32:52
32:52 >> All right, buddy. Was that
32:53
32:53 >> Was that quarter worth it?
32:55
32:55 >> I would say so. I would say so. It was
32:57
32:57 pretty good. I mean, it's not your best
32:58
32:58 work to be honest. Uh, but that genre of
33:00
33:00 music is so it's so hit and miss to be
33:03
33:03 honest with you. Um, it's either good or
33:05
33:05 it's not, you know, and it's I think
33:06
33:06 >> Okay.
33:07
33:07 >> I think AI has a hard time with that
33:08
33:08 genre for sure. Uh, but it was it was
33:10
33:10 fine. I didn't hate it. Kind of reminded
33:13
33:13 me of the band Lost Profit. Um, which

33:18
33:18 Like I was

33:22
33:22 minute for me from last time. I'll tell
33:23
33:23 you that right now.
33:24
33:24 >> But other than that, I enjoyed it. I
33:26

34:25 >> So, going forward, the AI radio will now
34:28
34:28 be known as Sorry for the Delay Sound
34:30
34:30 Lab. Is that correct, Joshua?
34:32
34:32 >> That is absolutely correct.
34:34
34:34 >> There it is. So, congratulations. Joshua

34:44
34:44 announcement for what Joshua's doing.
34:45
34:45 Once once Joshua has everything figured
34:47
34:47 out and stuff, then we'll give you a
34:48
34:48 real solid announcement and we'll show
34:50
34:50 everything off. Uh, but I'm just I just
34:52
34:52 I got so excited, buddy, because the
34:53
34:53 sound lab is just such a great [ __ ]
34:57
34:57 name for what we're doing here. So, I
35:00
35:00 appreciate
35:00
35:00 >> Yeah. Honestly, it's it's going to be
35:02
35:02 another creative space just like this
35:04
35:04 podcast is. I mean, we talk a lot of we
35:06
35:06 talk we go over a lot of topics. I mean,
35:08
35:08 we've had 119 episodes and um we're just
35:12
35:12 scratching the surface when it comes to
35:13
35:13 music, comes to video editing. So, this
35:17
35:17 spin-off is just another extension of
35:19
35:19 our personality, our character, our
35:21
35:21 imagination. So, stay tuned. It's only
35:23
35:23 going to get better. And um you're just
35:25
35:25 lucky enough to see these two guys faces
35:27
35:27 on this channel and everything else is
35:29
35:29 just going to be an extension of this as
35:32
35:32 well. So this will be an this will be a
35:35
35:35 window into our minds other than what
35:38
35:38 you see already on this space. So
35:41
35:41 >> I love it because Josh was right. The
35:43
35:43 creative space in that sound lab can be
35:45
35:45 anything. You know, Maple Street falls
35:47
35:47 into the sound lab because it's
35:49
35:49 >> audio, right?
35:50
35:50 >> Absolutely.
35:51
35:51 >> Anything can fall into the sound lab.
35:53
35:53 It's [ __ ] amazing. So I'm excited for
35:55
35:55 that. Anyways, I got excited. Uh Joshua,
35:56
35:56 let's move on.
35:57
35:57 >> You totally cool
35:59
35:59 >> or me. This is a topic I had for you.
36:04
36:04 >> This this one is it's nothing nothing to
36:06
36:06 be worried about. Okay.
36:07
36:07 >> It's a little a little game that I want
36:09
36:09 to play.
36:10
36:10 >> You or me, buddy.
36:11
36:11 >> I'm going to give you just I'm going to
36:13
36:13 shoot off some things. I have some cards
36:14
36:14 here that I'm going to read off. I got
36:16
36:16 some cards with some with some words on
36:17
36:17 them.
36:18
36:18 >> I'm going to take them at random. All
36:20
36:20 right. And I want you to tell me either
36:22
36:22 me or you. It's like most likely to
36:27
36:27 blank, right? So, for example, Joshua,
36:30
36:30 me or you? Ready? Watches planet Earth
36:33
36:33 for five hours. You or me? Who's doing
36:36
36:36 that?
36:38
36:38 >> Hold on. I just installed a seat belt on
36:39
36:39 my chair real quick. Let me Let me put
36:40
36:40 this on because I know this shit's going
36:42
36:42 to get crazy. Um, hold on.
36:46
36:46 All right. Okay. There you go. Click.
36:47
36:47 Seat belts on. Um, so
36:51
36:51 now that I'm safely prepared, I I'm
36:54
36:54 total I'm going to be watching the
36:56
36:56 planet Earth whether I'm laying down on
36:58
36:58 it like I'm on it or I'm in space. I'm
37:01
37:01 watching the planet Earth spin. I'm
37:03
37:03 enjoying I'm enjoying it all. That is
37:06
37:06 totally Joshua.
37:07
37:07 >> You know, I didn't realize that you the
37:09
37:09 way you took this is a different way
37:10
37:10 that I took this because there's a
37:12
37:12 series called Planet Earth
37:15
37:15 >> on, you know, that was done by the BBC.
37:17
37:17 Uh, so if you're if you're watching the
37:19
37:19 Earth, then I would agree. Yes,
37:20
37:20 definitely you. Uh, but if you're me,
37:23
37:23 I'm watching Planet Earth on the TV or
37:25
37:25 I'm watching that documentary about the
37:26
37:26 penguin who just wants the mountains,
37:29
37:29 you know? That's that's all me. So,
37:32
37:32 yeah, both ways on that.
37:34
37:34 >> I Yeah, you got to really dial it in for
37:36
37:36 me because my the way I think that was
37:38
37:38 too abstract or like I just took it a
37:40
37:40 different way. Yeah.
37:42
37:42 >> All right, let me give you another one.
37:44
37:44 >> Okay, let me tell you one more thing.
37:45
37:45 Has that penguin been showing up in your
37:47
37:47 algorithm? Because that penguin has [ __ ]
37:49
37:49 that showing up in my algorithm
37:51
37:51 >> for are you inspired by the penguin or
37:54
37:54 do you not care about
37:55
37:55 >> Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. That
37:58
37:58 that penguin is a hero in my eyes.
38:04
38:04 >> I'm sorry. He's a hero in your eyes. I
38:06
38:06 love it. I love it. RP penguin. Rip.
38:09
38:09 >> Yeah. Doesn't even matter if he died.
38:10
38:10 Listen. Like that is me all the time.
38:13
38:13 That is me all the I got told the other
38:14
38:14 day, I am the per like I forget how the
38:16
38:16 saying goes. Sorry again, tangent. We do
38:18
38:18 this on this podcast. First time
38:19
38:19 listening. Um but um I am the person
38:22
38:22 that will stand out in the rain without
38:24
38:24 an umbrella. I am that I am that person.
38:27
38:27 So the rest can sit inside and enjoy the
38:30
38:30 comfort. Like I am that person. So I am
38:32
38:32 that penguin. I am I don't know if
38:34
38:34 they're one of one, but that is my vibe.
38:37
38:37 That's how I roll.
38:39
38:39 >> Okay. I feel like the penguin is a
38:41
38:41 metaphor for a midlife crisis in terms
38:43
38:43 of like you don't know really what you
38:46
38:46 want and so you find one thing to fixate
38:48
38:48 on and you say this is what I want. So I
38:51
38:51 believe the penguin is just a term for
38:52
38:52 mental illness. So that's my take on the
38:55
38:55 penguin. There you go. But any give you
38:58
38:58 what?
38:59
38:59 >> Yeah. Yeah. I feel like anybody going
39:02
39:02 through a midlife crisis
39:03
39:03 >> follows the penguin to the mountain.
39:05
39:05 >> That is what I'm standing on. That's the
39:07
39:07 hill I'm dying on. Or should I say
39:08
39:08 that's the mountain I'm dying on. So
39:11
39:11 >> it's hilarious. Okay. All right.
39:13
39:13 >> Real bad comments, baby. I'm ready.
39:15
39:15 >> That that penguin. Yeah. Let us know if
39:16
39:16 that penguin is also showed up in your
39:18
39:18 algorithm cuz holy [ __ ] that thing I'm
39:21
39:21 seeing another
39:22
39:22 >> Did the penguin have a marketing
39:23
39:23 campaign? Like did the penguin have like
39:26
39:26 people in marketing advertising on all
39:28
39:28 these social media platforms to promote
39:30
39:30 this freaking documentary? I think
39:31
39:31 that's what it came down to.
39:33
39:33 >> I mean, maybe it's an anniversary. Like
39:34
39:34 maybe this happened so many years ago on
39:36
39:36 this day or you know what I mean? Like
39:38
39:38 maybe there's a
39:38
39:38 >> Okay, I can see that
39:39
39:39 >> some kind of epic anniversary that's
39:41
39:41 happening with this penguin. But [ __ ]
39:42
39:42 dude. I have I have no idea.
39:44
39:44 >> That's a good one though.
39:45
39:45 >> Well, now the penguin's out of the way.
39:47
39:47 Uh let me give you another one, buddy.
39:48
39:48 You or me. Uh just needs five more
39:51
39:51 minutes.
39:53
39:53 >> I can't even last five minutes. So I
39:55
39:55 mean I would love five more minutes,
39:57
39:57 dude. Yeah. [ __ ]
39:59
39:59 >> That's good. I would say five more
40:02
40:02 minutes. Yeah, for I usually break that
40:03
40:03 down into seconds because it makes me
40:05
40:05 feel like I've done more time, you know,
40:07
40:07 >> cuz five minutes is like how many
40:09
40:09 seconds? Like it just feels like a
40:10
40:10 lifetime. So
40:11
40:11 >> that's a long time. That's a long
40:13
40:13 [ __ ] time, buddy.
40:14
40:14 >> So give me more. Yeah, give me more.
40:16
40:16 >> Give me more time. All right, one last
40:18
40:18 one, buddy. I'll give you one last one.
40:20
40:20 You and me, Joshua, uh has a threehour
40:22
40:22 conversation about space.
40:25
40:25 >> I think
40:26
40:26 >> that is easy. That is easily I I will
40:29
40:29 have a 45 minute and people will fall
40:31
40:31 asleep around me listening to me and
40:34
40:34 it's you laugh but it's happened. I mean
40:36
40:36 I didn't sure
40:39
40:39 >> you know in my day when I used to dabble
40:41
40:41 in the devil's lettuce I used to talk
40:42
40:42 about space and Mars and I used to talk
40:45
40:45 about all this stuff and uh yeah I put I
40:49
40:49 put a few people to sleep talking about
40:50
40:50 that [ __ ]
40:51
40:51 >> So what you're saying is you've gotten
40:52
40:52 boring uh now that you're not on the
40:54
40:54 Devil's Lettuce. It's kind of sad. Yeah.
40:57
40:57 Yeah. I mean, have I gotten boring?
40:58
40:58 [ __ ] man. I know. I worry about that.
41:01
41:01 You know, the create the creative genius
41:03
41:03 that gets unlocked when the lettuce hits
41:05
41:05 the lungs. You know what I'm saying?
41:07
41:07 Like when it just
41:09
41:09 >> hits my stomach before it hits the
41:10
41:10 lungs. So, there's that.
41:11
41:11 >> Well, yeah. You know, when the when when
41:14
41:14 just it taps in and it unlocks, you
41:17
41:17 know, that the receptor
41:18
41:18 >> when it cheat codes you Yeah.
41:20
41:20 >> Yeah. When it cheat codes you me, man. I
41:21
41:21 I I feel that maybe maybe one day I'll
41:25
41:25 have a
41:27
41:27 I'll go back. But for right now, I got
41:29
41:29 to stay away. I put I put a lock on
41:31
41:31 that. Throw away the key.
41:32
41:32 >> Damn. All right. Well, there you go,
41:34
41:34 buddy. That's you or me. Uh so, just
41:36
41:36 wanted to kind of throw a little fun
41:38
41:38 game in there just to break up the
41:39
41:39 monotony a little bit, you know. So,
41:42
41:42 let's move on.
41:44
41:44 >> All right.
41:44
41:44 >> What's next, buddy? What do you got?
41:45
41:45 >> I mean, I like games. You could have
41:46
41:46 kept going, honestly, because I love
41:48
41:48 games.
41:48
41:48 >> I know. I could have. I know. Actually,
41:51
41:51 wait. Joshua, hang on.
41:54
41:54 >> I could give you this, which is very
41:56
41:56 controversial and I think it'll make a
41:58
41:58 great short. So, we're going to do it.
41:59
41:59 Joshua, would you rather have to slap a
42:03
42:03 crying puppy every time you want to use
42:06
42:06 the internet or tell a 5-year-old that
42:10
42:10 Santa isn't real and their favorite toy
42:13
42:13 was actually recycled? Every single time
42:15
42:15 you see one,
42:17
42:17 >> I think this is a lesson in telling a
42:19
42:19 kid. Um, Santa Tan is not real.
42:26
42:26 >> Instantly to breaking childhood dreams.
42:30
42:30 Josh was a dog lover at heart, so I knew
42:32
42:32 this. I knew where this question was
42:33
42:33 going to go. But
42:34
42:34 >> yeah, there there's a lesson. You know,
42:37
42:37 Santa's not real, little guy. And you
42:39
42:39 know what? There's people that don't
42:41
42:41 even get [ __ ] for Christmas, so this
42:42
42:42 shit's recycled.
42:44
42:44 >> Be grateful.
42:44
42:44 >> Go Yeah. Go mow the lawn. [ __ ]
42:47
42:47 >> Go mow the lawn.
42:49
42:49 >> Yeah. I'm going to give you the same $5
42:50
42:50 even though inflation is 20 now. But I
42:52
42:52 what? You're getting $5. You're not
42:54
42:54 getting 20.
42:56
42:56 >> What I got?
42:57
42:57 >> Yeah. Like,
42:58
42:58 >> sorry, buddy.
42:59
42:59 >> Hey, sorry. Just real quick. Uh the
43:04
43:04 [ __ ] stammering here. Uh the gutter
43:07
43:07 repurposing for your water for your cold
43:10
43:10 plunge. Did you see some of the comments
43:11
43:11 about that? How it's illegal in your
43:14
43:14 state or how they tax the [ __ ] out of
43:16
43:16 you for that? I think you need to look
43:17
43:17 into that because I don't think that's
43:19
43:19 true. And if it is true, Joshua
43:23
43:23 how they going to find out? You going to
43:26
43:26 Who's going to tell them? Who's going to
43:27
43:27 tell them? Cuz I'm not going to tell
43:29
43:29 them, you know, like that's kind of
43:31
43:31 that's some [ __ ] if it's true.
43:33
43:33 >> I don't know. I kne I knew I've heard
43:35
43:35 about people being charged for waters in
43:37
43:37 other countries.
43:38
43:38 >> Like you can't gather water. I forget
43:40
43:40 the the countries exactly. Um, but there
43:42
43:42 are some where they they charge you for
43:44
43:44 water like that and you can't just like
43:45
43:45 set up buckets outside when it rains.
43:47
43:47 Like you could actually get fined or
43:48
43:48 arrested for [ __ ] like that. But I
43:50
43:50 didn't know I didn't know California.
43:53
43:53 Yeah, that's kind of weird. Um
43:56
43:56 >> that you look I just thought I just
43:58
43:58 thought it was random and I was like I'm
43:59
43:59 probably going to look into that a
44:01
44:01 little bit more. Uh but even though even
44:03
44:03 if it is, who's going to [ __ ] tell
44:05
44:05 them? Because if you [ __ ] tell them
44:06
44:06 I'm
44:07
44:07 >> Yeah, right.
44:09
44:09 >> [ __ ] a. Sorry, buddy. All right,
44:11
44:11 let's move on. Uh, romance or us? What
44:13
44:13 is this? What do you got?
44:14
44:14 >> All right. Ro, romance or us? Again,
44:16
44:16 this is the month of love. Uh, we're
44:17
44:17 coming to this podcast and I'm just very
44:19
44:19 curious when it comes to romance
44:22
44:22 >> because I hate to say it everybody, all
44:26
44:26 one million of you listening right now.
44:29
44:29 >> Um,
44:29
44:29 >> it's too many.
44:31
44:31 >> Everybody listening to this voice
44:33
44:33 through the speakers um on your car or
44:35
44:35 your vehicle or what your iPod ear
44:38
44:38 whatever you're listening to me on. Um,
44:40
44:40 I am just wondering when it comes to the
44:43
44:43 spirit of romance,
44:45
44:45 is is romance something inherently
44:48
44:48 something that you're kind of like
44:49
44:49 gifted with
44:52
44:52 or is it something that like you learn
44:54
44:54 along the way? And depending on the
44:57
44:57 relationships you have in your life, can
44:60
44:60 the romance you were inherited with like
45:02
45:02 you just didn't naturally come to you
45:03
45:03 get broken by the person who just
45:07
45:07 doesn't appreciate the romance that you
45:08
45:08 that you want to give to that person in
45:10
45:10 life. So you you know what I'm saying?
45:13
45:13 >> I get you.
45:14
45:14 >> Is it is it something that gets broken
45:16
45:16 in your life or is it something that
45:17
45:17 that even if somebody breaks that in you
45:19
45:19 within you, you can keep being romantic
45:22
45:22 through that process?
45:24
45:24 >> Okay. Well, obviously just speaking for
45:26
45:26 myself here on this one. I think a lot
45:29
45:29 of what I've learned to become as a
45:31
45:31 romantic, right, was learned through, as
45:35
45:35 sad as it's going to be, TV, right, in
45:38
45:38 media, right? I learned a lot of like
45:41
45:41 what the aspects of like showing
45:43
45:43 affection are through like not big
45:46
45:46 emotions, but like small cutesy things,
45:51
45:51 right? Rather than like these big big
45:52
45:52 events. I learned that through movies
45:55
45:55 and TV kind of things, right? But I do
45:59
45:59 feel there's a dark side to this where
46:02
46:02 as you grow up, let's say like for
46:03
46:03 myself personally, like you go and you
46:06
46:06 do these small acts of love and kindness
46:08
46:08 and stuff like that and you get into a
46:09
46:09 relationship that is not ideal, right?
46:13
46:13 And their their idea of romance is like
46:17
46:17 being spat on or, you know, getting
46:19
46:19 their nuts crushed, right? like that
46:22
46:22 would probably change your perspective
46:24
46:24 on what romance is, right? Or it's like,
46:26
46:26 you know, keep it PG, right? Or their
46:28
46:28 idea of romance is like you always pay
46:30
46:30 the bill, right? Or you are the one to
46:33
46:33 always instigate something, right? I
46:36
46:36 feel like that can definitely harbor
46:39
46:39 like bad habits when it comes to that
46:41
46:41 kind of stuff. So, I feel like yeah,
46:43
46:43 there you take one wrong relationship
46:45
46:45 and you get your whole wires twisted,
46:47
46:47 right? because now you're learning to
46:48
46:48 cater to somebody else's idea of romance
46:51
46:51 rather than what you want romance to be,
46:54
46:54 right?
46:55
46:55 >> So, yeah, I I definitely see that uh you
46:58
46:58 can definitely change people.
46:59
46:59 >> I mean, we we touched on it earlier. Um
47:02
47:02 I I've never taken myself as somebody
47:05
47:05 who's
47:07
47:07 overwhelmingly romantic.
47:09
47:09 Um, and in a way I kind of like that
47:13
47:13 because that gives me the ability to
47:15
47:15 grow and not like have ever been broken
47:19
47:19 of my romance. Sure, I've done things
47:21
47:21 nice for people like gotten flowers and
47:23
47:23 candy and made dinner and done romantic
47:26
47:26 things. Um, and then they didn't
47:28
47:28 appreciate it. I just felt like, you
47:29
47:29 know, like whatever. Like I So I never
47:32
47:32 romantically overextended myself, which
47:35
47:35 maybe maybe part of me is has protected
47:37
47:37 that side of me. Um, but in a way, now
47:40
47:40 that I'm older and I'm more mature, I
47:43
47:43 think my ability to be more romantic
47:45
47:45 will be even better than it would be
47:47
47:47 would have been if I was like 25, just
47:49
47:49 trying to buy 2,000 roses and put it all
47:52
47:52 over the bed and and do these candles
47:55
47:55 and do, you know what I mean? Like just
47:56
47:56 totally do this whole,
47:59
47:59 you know, this display of everything.
48:01
48:01 So, um I will say though, if you you
48:04
48:04 naturally are romantic, don't ever let
48:06
48:06 somebody break you because that's who
48:08
48:08 you are. So, so harness that and and
48:10
48:10 don't ever let anybody break you because
48:12
48:12 that's sweet. That's a great quality. Um
48:14
48:14 and if you if you're like me and
48:16
48:16 learning how to be romantic and and just
48:18
48:18 discovering the side of yourself, this
48:19
48:19 is awesome. um enjoy that part of of the
48:23
48:23 journey as well because it's it's
48:24
48:24 actually pretty cool knowing that even
48:26
48:26 though I wasn't a romantic, I can still
48:28
48:28 become the romantic
48:31
48:31 >> uh in this life. So,
48:33
48:33 >> I have two questions on this one, buddy.
48:35
48:35 >> First question, it's going to hit you
48:37
48:37 real deep here.
48:38
48:38 >> First question is,
48:40
48:40 have you ever broken somebody that you
48:45
48:45 know of with your idea of romance?
48:48
48:48 What do you What are you trying to say?
48:50
48:50 Like I didn't get that.
48:52
48:52 >> Were you the reason?
48:53
48:53 >> Were you the reason that somebody was
48:56
48:56 like,
48:56
48:56 >> "Uh, maybe I'm not going to like give my
48:60
48:60 ex or like um not ex like boyfriend,
49:03
49:03 girlfriend thing, like just name of
49:05
49:05 person, partner, I guess, uh flowers
49:08
49:08 because they didn't appreciate them,
49:10
49:10 right? Were Have you ever been like do
49:12
49:12 you think you were the reason for that
49:13
49:13 for somebody out there?" Um,
49:16
49:16 I I Okay, I'll put it this way. I feel
49:18
49:18 like I have I mean, I've I've I've
49:21
49:21 written a lot of stories in my life. You
49:23
49:23 know, I got a lot of chapters, you know,
49:25
49:25 >> we all do
49:26
49:26 >> couple of them. Um, but I but I feel
49:29
49:29 like because I never was a a a crazy
49:32
49:32 romantic, I may have
49:35
49:35 I don't want to say broke anybody's
49:37
49:37 heart because that's kind of like if I
49:39
49:39 don't know what you're you know, like
49:40
49:40 I'm I'm learning, right? Um, yeah, maybe
49:43
49:43 maybe I should have bought more flowers
49:45
49:45 instead of buying just a dozen. I should
49:47
49:47 have bought two dozen. Or I forgot what
49:49
49:49 their favorite chocolate was, so I
49:51
49:51 bought him some other [ __ ] because my
49:52
49:52 memory sucks, you know? What they really
49:54
49:54 wanted wasn't on the whiteboard or
49:56
49:56 tattooed on my chest. Like maybe maybe
49:59
49:59 I didn't I just didn't retain enough of
50:02
50:02 that romance between the two of us. But,
50:04
50:04 you know, what I can say now is I'm with
50:08
50:08 who I want to be with and not who I
50:10
50:10 don't want to be with anymore. So
50:12
50:12 >> yeah, that's
50:12
50:12 >> for whatever that's worth. Um,
50:16
50:16 >> the second question I have for this, but
50:17
50:17 as a followup to that is,
50:20
50:20 >> have you ever been broken by romance?
50:24
50:24 >> Where it was, you showed the, "Hey, I
50:27
50:27 got you flowers." And then they were
50:29
50:29 like, "Flowers? Are you [ __ ] kidding
50:32
50:32 me, you [ __ ] bitch?" Like, "I hate
50:34
50:34 flowers." You know, and that turned you
50:35
50:35 off kind of thing. Like, has that ever
50:37
50:37 been like, have you ever been on that
50:38
50:38 side of the coin?
50:39
50:39 >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, of of course. Of course.
50:42
50:42 >> Now, do you think that do you think
50:43
50:43 that's kind of prevented you from
50:44
50:44 showing more like romantic things in
50:47
50:47 your life?
50:48
50:48 >> Uh yeah. I mean, uh I would say so.
50:50
50:50 Yeah. Because I think anytime we make
50:52
50:52 ourselves vulnerable when it comes to
50:55
50:55 >> doesn't get like reprimanded back. Yeah.
50:56
50:56 It hurts.
50:57
50:57 >> Yeah. I think anytime we make ourselves
50:59
50:59 vulnerable in that in that that state.
51:01
51:01 Um, yeah, I I would say that maybe that
51:04
51:04 slowed me down a little bit, but I I
51:06
51:06 don't think that's stunted my evolution
51:08
51:08 to become the romantic who I who I know
51:11
51:11 I could be. So, once again, like I I I
51:14
51:14 am where I am and and I'm learning what
51:16
51:16 I'm learning. So, this is it's a good
51:17
51:17 journey. Um,
51:19
51:19 >> yeah, positives. So, you know, that was
51:21
51:21 just I it popped into my head because,
51:23
51:23 you know, you were talking about that
51:24
51:24 and I was like, well, but like what if
51:26
51:26 what if there's something out there
51:27
51:27 that's happened that caused somebody to
51:30
51:30 not want to do that. So, makes sense.
51:32
51:32 So, I'm glad you're owning up to it,
51:33
51:33 buddy. I love it. [ __ ] love it, my
51:35
51:35 dude.
51:35
51:35 >> Yeah. To be permanently jaded would
51:37
51:37 suck. You know what I mean? Like that
51:39
51:39 you built over and just never buy
51:41
51:41 flowers again and just always buy seeds
51:43
51:43 so they can plant their own flowers.
51:45
51:45 Like, who does that?
51:46
51:46 >> That's just rude, man. Like
51:49
51:49 like if you're going to buy them seeds,
51:52
51:52 at least provide them with a bottle of
51:53
51:53 water, too, so they get or a pot, you
51:55
51:55 know? Give them like like a third of
51:57
51:57 what they need.
51:58
51:58 >> A bag of seeds.
52:01
52:01 >> And then you buy it for them in winter
52:02
52:02 time so they can't even grow it anyways.
52:04
52:04 Like just they'll be an [ __ ]
52:08
52:08 >> Oh [ __ ] Speaking of [ __ ] buddy,
52:10
52:10 you'd have to look.
52:11
52:11 >> Speaking of buttholes, let's go ahead
52:12
52:12 and end this episode. Let's land this
52:14
52:14 plane as we say. I'm starting to feel
52:15
52:15 these [ __ ] ciders. They're hitting me
52:17
52:17 hard right now. 10%. Uh, let's do some
52:20
52:20 fun finds. Let's do some lucky numbers,
52:21

55:01 >> almost there.
55:02
55:02 >> We're almost This is the end of this. I
55:04
55:04 don't know. And Sean does not want me to
55:06
55:06 end this segment. I mean,
55:08
55:08 >> never.
55:09
55:09 >> He doesn't want me to kill this this
55:12
55:12 thing that we do at the very end of
55:13
55:13 this. So, what we're going to do, Sean,
55:16
55:16 is at some point because I only have two
55:18
55:18 cookies left, I'm going to have to go on
55:22
55:22 to Big Daddy Amazon, and I'm going to
55:24
55:24 have to find some more cookies.
55:25
55:25 >> Big Papa Amazon
55:27
55:27 >> and I'm going to have to figure out what
55:29
55:29 batch of cookies I'm going to buy next.
55:32
55:32 >> So, uh, stay tuned for that. But for
55:34
55:34 for, uh, this episode, I have two
55:36
55:36 cookies left. Sean, you're either going
55:38
55:38 to pick the one on the side of the TV or
55:43
55:43 I don't know how you would do.
55:44
55:44 >> I'll pick the one on the Funko side.
55:46

55:49
55:49 >> All right. Two left. Sean.
55:52
55:52 Hopefully, this is a good one because
55:53
55:53 episode 19 I think deserves.
55:56
55:56 >> Yeah. Episode 19 deserves a good cookie.
55:59
55:59 Agreed.
55:60
55:60 >> 100%.
56:01
