[00:00:10] My weekends have been not that, uh, not that exciting lately

[00:00:14] I've, Costco's my life now, it seems

[00:00:17] That's what we do on the weekends

[00:00:21] And, uh, we, we, we had to do some furniture shopping because, uh, my books

[00:00:27] Oh, our, our books are in the garage just in boxes

[00:00:31] And there's some books that I just want to go through, you know, just to keep keep keep it on the, get out, look at the poopity

[00:00:37] But, uh, you know, I got, I got to go through a bunch of boxes and I don't need this

[00:00:46] And, uh, and a, and a console to, uh, TV console

[00:00:50] To, to switch out the other one

[00:00:52] So, it's, it's good because I, I need those books, man

[00:00:55] I haven't been reading like physically reading this year

[00:00:59] That much, I have a few books that I started about, I haven't finished them

[00:01:03] And I don't like doing that

[00:01:04] So, I'll, I'll get to those

[00:01:07] And, and then I'll go to the ones that I want to go through and just like, you know, because there's some passages that I like

[00:01:14] Going to and it's, it's fun, you know, because reading is fun

[00:01:17] As much as I didn't like it growing up, you know?

[00:01:20] You know, the reason I didn't like it growing up was this guy said, oh man

[00:01:24] Reading is for losers and I, you know, when someone isn't that prone

[00:01:30] To reading in the first place, I would read like the kid, the, the, the children, the kids books

[00:01:35] I would read those those were easy

[00:01:37] But then when it came time to actually like read the ones that didn't have the pictures

[00:01:41] I was like, yeah, I don't know

[00:01:44] So

[00:01:45] When someone tells you that and you're an impressionable kid wanting your friends to like you and it was a funny idea to me at least

[00:01:53] Because he's, he had like this club and stuff. He called it our, I, I'll rifle he called it reading is for losers

[00:02:00] So I was like, man, that's funny. You know what? You convinced me. Thank goodness

[00:02:06] The H bomb wasn't a funny guy right

[00:02:10] And by H bomb, I mean Hillary not Hillary

[00:02:14] Now I'm talking about Hitler

[00:02:16] Thank God he wasn't funny because then I'll be

[00:02:20] All right, I'm kidding guys. It's not true. It's not true. I wouldn't become Vince by Hitler you crazy

[00:02:27] Do I have to bleep Hitler? I don't know. I don't know how YouTube works or any of that shit does you know

[00:02:34] I'm just I'm just figuring shit out man

[00:02:37] I just want to have fun and enjoy myself and and

[00:02:41] See what I need to do to make this thing grow

[00:02:44] So we'll see I'm to all I'm doing is having fun and making y'all laugh

[00:02:49] That's if I'm doing that properly then this will go further, baby

[00:02:53] All right

[00:02:55] Yeah, this is me motivating myself. Oh my goodness man

[00:02:58] This is all you gotta do after four however long it's been five years view recording this pie

[00:03:04] It's actually been longer

[00:03:06] When did I start fucking doing this?

[00:03:09] Is that I have I've I've been doing this for like six years

[00:03:12] I remember I did it for like four years without actually promoting anything and then in Utah

[00:03:19] I started like you know

[00:03:20] I'm a good bit post content and I started doing it and I stopped I still kept doing the podcast

[00:03:28] Well, you know I was ashamed of this because I was like growing as a podcast right

[00:03:34] It's hard enough to do it by yourself

[00:03:36] So I didn't know man. I didn't know anyway

[00:03:40] Yeah guys, so yeah the I miss reading I

[00:03:44] For like six years in a row

[00:03:47] I made it a point to read actually I'm well, it's on my phone. I got to hear I got it here. Let's see I got a

[00:03:55] Look, let me search

[00:03:58] books

[00:04:01] Red I made a list of books I've read

[00:04:05] four

[00:04:08] Okay, okay, I started doing that in 2018. I read 31 and third and 2018 and that includes one two

[00:04:16] Three that in 2018 I read 31 and that includes

[00:04:21] Listen to books. I count those but I put like asked the risks on them because uh

[00:04:26] Because you know your your your

[00:04:28] You're listening to them. It's not the same so I did 24

[00:04:33] 2019 26 and 2020

[00:04:36] 23 2021 28

[00:04:39] 2022 20

[00:04:41] 2023

[00:04:42] 2024 I have 18 but all of them have been listening

[00:04:47] Listening to and multiple ones. I like reread them like re-listen to them so

[00:04:53] I haven't finished one in 2024

[00:04:57] and

[00:04:58] But for the most part all the other years that it was 12 books that I listened to and then the rest where were

[00:05:07] Which one called what's in the call it the rest were

[00:05:11] Actually read by me so this is since I started doing that in 2018

[00:05:17] This is the first year that I haven't like physically finished one book

[00:05:21] So I'll I'll I'll I'll make that up. Okay. I'll make it up to me

[00:05:25] I'll make it up to myself because I love to read and I deserve it man

[00:05:29] Just need to make the Tom because what I would do is I would like at set aside like at least

[00:05:34] Ten pages a day something like that and that's how I would finish them

[00:05:38] So I need to do that again. I just I've been really focused on the writing of my comedy

[00:05:43] For the stage you know, so I

[00:05:46] I gotta do that I gotta do that

[00:05:49] I gotta do that all right no no buts about it. Okay. Gotta get back to it

[00:05:55] And you need to write you need to read it. Okay

[00:05:59] Guys, so yeah, so that's that's been my life lately I

[00:06:05] Pascow

[00:06:07] And Costco and and Whole Foods and he heebe

[00:06:11] H e b I like the call it heebe

[00:06:15] Because it's fun, you know it's fun

[00:06:17] It's fun to call it heebe because it's not the way you pronounce it

[00:06:22] I

[00:06:23] Used to stand for

[00:06:25] It's H e b right and it used to stand for the her bird something bushretter whatever that it was the the initials of the the guy who

[00:06:34] Founded the company, but then they changed it to hear everything's better. I guess I guess

[00:06:40] I know there's like a cult here in Austin about H e b

[00:06:45] Not not Austin like a in Texas in general. I mean

[00:06:48] It's a grocery store, but I guess they do really good things

[00:06:52] There's a bigger cult about buckies and buckies is fun. It's just like a it's it's a

[00:06:58] ginormous gas station that has a huge

[00:07:03] A huge store what's what's the convenience store?

[00:07:08] It's got one of those huge convenience. That's actually a lot of fun. So if you're a driver if you're ever in Texas like

[00:07:14] Just go there just to see the sheer size of the thing

[00:07:16] There's like 50 gas pumps and if you have an electric car there's like 20 of those

[00:07:21] 20 of those electric pumps and stuff like that. So as it's something you're like oh my god

[00:07:26] The sheer magnitude this thing is amazing so

[00:07:31] That I would recommend if you're ever in Texas and you see one of those just stop by

[00:07:36] Because it's fun anyway

[00:07:37] Anyway guys

[00:07:41] so

[00:07:43] I

[00:07:44] You know what was growing

[00:07:46] Well, well, when I was like you know becoming an adult and I noticed that my hairline was receding

[00:07:52] I

[00:07:54] I

[00:07:55] I would always think like look at myself in the mirror and like just be worried about a man you're going bald

[00:08:00] Damn it that that was all I would think about you know

[00:08:03] It worried me a lot but then it's it's all about perspective

[00:08:07] Because now when I look back at those older pictures all I see is like man

[00:08:13] You didn't even have a personality you know

[00:08:17] Air loss was the least of your problems

[00:08:21] You uh you sucked a be in a person okay

[00:08:26] I don't know but yeah, like I just remember worrying about my hairline

[00:08:32] And I look back in my picture like man you you look amazing what are you fucking worried about you know

[00:08:39] It's all you had you yourself self-conscious you just live life man enjoy yourself

[00:08:45] But you know hindsight is 2020

[00:08:49] 2020 that was the score in the NFL last weekend some someone where it was 2020

[00:08:58] All right also moving on moving on

[00:09:02] Yeah, you know how people asked you know how you know how people ask about hey

[00:09:08] What if you could get one superpower what would your superpower be and

[00:09:13] I did my thinking about that and

[00:09:18] Mine would be teleporting

[00:09:21] Because if you can teleport now

[00:09:24] Woo

[00:09:25] I could just go all the way over to my neighbor's house and tell him to shut the fuck up with the drums man

[00:09:31] That's enough

[00:09:33] Shut up and to make sure

[00:09:36] I would take the drums. I'll bring the drums back with me because I've always wanted to play now

[00:09:41] There's no excuse for me, you know

[00:09:44] I'm playing the drums the whole time and I wanted to learn man through the

[00:09:50] And whenever the neighbor comes to knocking at my door I just ship him off to some place where it's harder hard for him to navigate

[00:09:57] You know so it'll take take him some time. I can get back here and

[00:10:03] By the time he comes back, I'll just ship him to a different place

[00:10:06] I'll make sure he doesn't have his technology with him so you know he has to learn the language

[00:10:12] I'm doing this guy a favor. He keeps telling me he's wanting to travel all this time and

[00:10:18] To boot he's learning another language

[00:10:22] Dude, I'm doing this guy. He's becoming a better person

[00:10:26] What the hell man? What the hell

[00:10:32] But what I what I what I find funny is that

[00:10:36] People they they think they they'd like to think that they would do good with their superpower

[00:10:43] And you won't it's that easy you won't because you're not super

[00:10:48] Look we're all selfish right like

[00:10:52] If we were actually gonna do something about it

[00:10:56] Why haven't we signed up to the military that the

[00:10:59] Out of the population in the US alone one percent of the people less than one percent of the people have served or

[00:11:08] Are currently serving okay?

[00:11:11] We are the 99 percent guys

[00:11:14] 99 percent of cowards

[00:11:15] That's what it is guys, so no no bullshit. I don't give me this post you to who will if I have the super powers

[00:11:22] I do it. Oh really you would

[00:11:25] I don't think that's how it goes because having a super power is like money you know it only amplifies your character

[00:11:33] I know because I got one

[00:11:36] Super cut baby

[00:11:45] You

[00:11:46] Guys I just cracked myself up over here. I'm enjoying it baby

[00:11:51] I'm enjoying it baby

[00:11:54] All right, let's go over the news okay

[00:11:58] so

[00:11:59] What exactly is bill ball a check-up to is iconic coach playing tricks with Detroit lions

[00:12:06] So I was wondering about this

[00:12:09] Bill Balachick has a new podcast. I don't know if I mentioned it last week, right? It's really good. I like it because he goes over plays and stuff. He goes over it as he would

[00:12:17] Like as a coach so it's like really cool. You can see like all the deep inside that he has obviously it's like a little dumb down for

[00:12:27] For people but I think he that's like how he would do it normally. Well anyway

[00:12:34] His co-hosts one of his co-hosts is Matt Patricia and he was the head coach of the Detroit Lions

[00:12:41] So this this article was behind a paywall, but I saw it like you know

[00:12:45] I googled to see what the background was so in the episode he said that

[00:12:50] Matt Patricia was was the guy who started the Detroit Lions

[00:12:59] Like good momentum right and they're like mad about it because like no, he didn't

[00:13:04] But I did and they're like you're trolling us man. Is he trolling the Detroit Lions?

[00:13:10] I think it's just that you know, it's his boy

[00:13:13] So he's just like you know blowing him up a little bit because under Balachick

[00:13:18] He was a very successful defensive coordinator so yeah, what he defensive or offensive

[00:13:23] I don't remember. I think he was a defensive so you know since he's a good fella

[00:13:28] Just trying to blow his buddy up, you know

[00:13:31] And people are just like

[00:13:37] I guess everything's content now

[00:13:42] Colin Joast ends friendship with Pete David some after ten years and refuses to be in the same room as him

[00:13:47] But I don't know what happened. Okay, all I know is that in the article it talks about how both of them actually bought a fairy

[00:13:54] Like they literally bought a fairy

[00:13:56] Like a fairy, you know the boat to cross from one side of the city all over to Staten Island

[00:14:05] And I don't know what happened between them. I don't really care that's their business

[00:14:10] But they invested in that and Colin Joast is like that's the worst investment

[00:14:15] I've ever made in my life like hands down. I'm like

[00:14:19] Because it costs like 300 just under $300,000 to buy a fairy

[00:14:26] It's I will say that that's fun. That's fun. I don't know what they're going to do with it, but that's fun

[00:14:32] All right

[00:14:34] Shane Gillis praised for a comfortable moment where he called out podcast host for mocking people with Down syndrome

[00:14:39] And like I you know what's funny. I recently

[00:14:50] Watch that episode again, so I guess it like resurfaced or something or something because that episode is from last year

[00:14:59] Like way back and when they released the Gillian Keves special that's from that

[00:15:04] Was that last year or the year before I don't remember guys, but I rewants it

[00:15:09] And yeah, it was that little moment

[00:15:12] But it wasn't uncomfortable. It was just like a you know when you're talking with your boys and you're just like a hey man

[00:15:17] That's not cool and that's it and you move on so

[00:15:22] Anyway, right anyway the of course

[00:15:25] The internet's making a hey day with it. I guess I don't know

[00:15:29] Elon Musk says Warren Buffett is positioning for Kamala Harris win with his

[00:15:35] 127 billion cash pile as pro trump or John Paulson warms of equity market exit

[00:15:42] I don't understand most of what was said there. I guess I didn't read the article and it just says that

[00:15:50] Musk Elon is saying that Warren Buffett is positioning for Kamala with I guess

[00:15:55] I don't know three eleven announces new album full bloom good for I don't why am I getting three eleven things

[00:16:04] I don't know

[00:16:07] I guess Amber is the color of my energy guys

[00:16:10] All right, and last

[00:16:15] But not least South Park just quietly retired a controversial character

[00:16:19] I guess it's I read through this one

[00:16:23] And it's the Mr. Garrison trump character. I forgot the name of the actual character

[00:16:29] You need controversial character man. What they said was like they don't know what else to say about trump

[00:16:35] They're not using it and they're like they're tired of talking that shit, you know

[00:16:40] And they're actually they made it a point to not even release anything until the election is over

[00:16:44] So they don't want to cover it

[00:16:47] They just said that they didn't have fun doing it and I could get that man it

[00:16:51] Because it's not fun. I mean, there's fun in it

[00:16:54] You know, I like how John Stuart does it. John Stuart does it go and South Park there's a king's and that's sort of stuff

[00:17:01] So like commentary there there there there there there there the kings man

[00:17:05] There are the kings bro so but I guess they weren't having fun

[00:17:08] And fun is the name of the game

[00:17:10] And that's why I wanted to be different on this podcast guys because I wasn't having fun anymore

[00:17:15] I was only there. I'm not getting views

[00:17:20] I wanted to be amazing

[00:17:22] How about just fucking have fun bro

[00:17:25] I was like worried about what you shouldn't say this because
