What's your dream? Going deep, Chad and JT
Put the gravy on the turkey and mash my potatoes.
What's up Stokers of the Stoke Nation? This is Chad Kroger coming in with the Going Deep with Chad and JT podcast.
I'm here with my compadre Jean Thomas. What up?
Boom clap Stokers.
And we're here joined by the legend himself, John Gobblecon.
Hey bros.
What's up?
We're back.
It's good to see you again, dude.
I'm so happy to be here.
But I was like, I walked in, I kind of felt out of place.
I knew you guys would probably be wearing hats.
I knew you'd be wearing hats.
So I went and I went to the ultimate OC spot where all the surfers are.
Irvine!
Irvine, baby!
Surfing, education, all top notch in Irvine.
So I'm all about the stoke today, guys.
For sure.
For sure education.
Surf spots though, right?
That's where all the bros go to hang out in Irvine?
Well, Irvine, it's not, it doesn't really have surf.
But there's a cool surf van on my hat. I mean, obviously they're into that.
I guess you could take a van to where there is surf and it could say Irvine on it.
All right
Let's do that. My buddy Ferraro grew up in Irvine and we actually used to pick on him for that because we said it was
absent of culture
Irvine is absent of culture. Yeah, I
mean
That's not what the gas station guy. So be the hat told me
He said this was like kind of a cool spot.
I just want to like, you know, get in with you guys as fans.
I just don't want to be out of place.
You know what I mean?
I love the hat.
I'm just saying that, you know, surf wise,
Irvine itself is like actually kind of landlocked.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Spectrum's cool, though.
Oh, god, I love the Spectrum. Yeah, guys. The Spectrum. The Spectrum's cool though. Oh god I love the Spectrum. Yeah guys. The Spectrum is sick. They got a hot topic there.
You know what I mean? It's right next to a cold stone so it's just like, I mean come on guys. We should be sponsored by the Spectrum.
That'd be sick. Yeah that'd be really sick. Do you like Hot Topic? Are you a big Hot Topic guy?
Love Hot Topic.
Yeah.
What do you get into when you're in there?
I don't know, I look at all the old band shirts
and stuff like that, you know, maybe get like a choker,
you know, or a cool spiky bracelet, you know?
While like Cole Chambers playing or something.
I love Hot Topic.
Hot Topic's great.
I can't believe Hot Topic is still around, you know?
Alligator blood.
Alligator blood, what's that mean?
Sticks around.
It sticks around.
It's kind of like us, the alligator blood.
The goblikons?
All of us, bros.
Bro, they can't get rid of, I thought we were done.
No, we're not done.
And a bunch of people after you guys appeared on my podcast were like,
cancel. This show should be canceled now.
What?
And I was like, no, I won't have it.
Why were they saying that?
I don't know. You know, trolls, they come out. You know, they saw you guys.
They saw the vibe we created.
Oh, man.
No, yeah. I've kept my life pretty clean of things that can end it. Good for you, man. Good for you, JT.
Thanks, man. Yeah. And Chad, what have you been up to? Oh,
dude, I got engaged this weekend. Oh, yeah. Wow. Dude, it
was awesome. You got engaged? I did. Yeah. You were in a
relationship? Dude, yeah. Wow, Chad.
I mean, let's talk about it.
How did that come about?
Tell me about her.
Oh, do you think?
Well, actually, I met her at a concert.
It was ours?
Never mind.
I wish, dude.
It was at the DJ.
Oh, so you're not really into musicians.
You just kind of like people on laptops.
She's more of like a MacBook Pro fan.
Whoa.
Dude, I never thought about it that way.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's awesome.
No, hey, that's her thing.
I mean, look, mine's on the fridge,
so if you could call up your future wife and have her,
look at my little legs.
Dude, yeah. They barely, you know, I mean this is
really tough for a goblin. This is a, I don't like deep couches, you know. Yeah, I got a two-parter.
So like, do you feel like anatomically the world's not really designed for goblins? Not at all,
no. Because the hump kind of pushes me forward. So when I'm on like a plane and stuff like that,
you know, those little tables will come down, but it'll kind of just fall right into my chest
because my hump is kind of pushing me out. They don't really have like like that. You know, those little tables will come down, but it'll kind of just fall right into my chest
because my hump is kind of pushing me out.
Then I really have like hump rows, you know,
like fit for a goblin.
And when you see another goblin on the plane,
do you guys just commiserate?
I gotta be honest.
Unless I'm flyering spirit or something like that,
I don't run into a lot of goblins, but you know,
now that I'm touring with the band, I don't go to a lot of planes
You know, I mean most like tour buses, you know
I'm on like the bottom or they're pulling me behind and like a little like trailer kind of thing
What? Yeah, that's totally unfair. Why don't you get the same kind of like bed that they do?
Because they they said so, you know. That's why I
did this. I'm pretty sure it's fair. Like I'm the lead singer, you know. I go out, I'm the front
person. You know, me and Dicky, we do all the songs. I put everything I can into every show and I make
sure I'm connected with the fans. And then we do like a VIP meet and greet. I make sure I sign every single autograph.
And then, you know, the whole band goes on the bus
and eats dinner and I go where the instruments go
and they close it.
It's like very dark, which is like, you know,
kind of relaxing and there's not a lot of air.
So you should like pass out very quickly
and get to sleep well.
So.
So you don't even have like a bed, right?
Like it's just, you're laying with the equipment.
Yeah, I mean, but it's fine.
But you sell the tickets, you're the name on the marquee.
You work harder than everyone,
but you get treated the worst.
Yes. Okay, well if it works for you. Yeah, but you get treated the worst. Yes.
OK. Well, if it works for you.
Yeah, I mean, I think so.
But do you at all blame, like, the people who manage you or the people you work with?
Like, where's Johannes when it comes to these kind of things?
I could tell you right now where Johannes is.
You know, I mean, he's messing something up.
You know what I mean? He's probably editing the show all wrong right now.
Johan says actually nothing to do with the band.
He's strictly just my podcast.
Yeah.
We have like another manager of the band
that everyone calls Scrooge McDuck, you know?
Cause he kind of like collects all the money
and then pulls it all in like one area
and then dives off his diving board into the money
while we're out touring and stuff like that. Oh god. Yeah. Very Gordy type stuff. Sure. And then so you had beef
with you don't like DJs? I don't like, I love DJs. I've had them on my show and stuff like that. Yeah.
I'm just more into like musicians, you know, play like instruments and stuff like that. Yeah, that's
all. We're DJ guys.
You're DJ guys?
What do you like about DJs?
Dude, I mean, I think it's a combination of a beat drop,
a nice molly high, and a light show.
And that is kind of a, you know,
orgasmic feeling that can only be created by, you know,
at least 136 BPM.
That kind of sounds good when you put it like that.
Like I popped a molly before I got here.
And now I feel really good.
So if you were like, hey, we got a light show coming.
I'd be like, oh, hell yeah, bro.
I'd love to give you one sometime.
Oh, okay, great.
I don't have any light gloves right now,
but maybe sometime, you know, we can hit a rave and I could just a light show the heck out of you
You'd not be to that and I could give you that you'd bust a noggin you'd bust a nut in your head
Are they gonna play Sandstorm? Yeah, they're gonna play Sandstorm. Yeah
That's a good one, you know,. That one still kind of slaps.
Are you Daft Punk guy?
I like Daft Punk, OK?
You know what I mean?
I feel like I keep mistaking people
on motorcycles for Daft Punk.
Every time some guy whizzes by me, I'm just like,
you know what I mean, I love that song with Pharrell.
You know?
And they just go right by me.
Yeah.
Right, right. Yeah, but I I they just go right by me. Yeah
Yeah, but I I'm constantly just like going up to the rump. I'm just going up to a guy on a motorcycle bike telling him I love his band and he's like, I don't know what you're talking about, dude, you know, wow
Oh, yeah, they do look like they're just
They look like they're in the movie Tron. Wait a minute real quick. They were they were how did this come up here?
They were. They were. How did this come up here? Oh, we have our producer, Jake, he's listening to us as we talk and then he pulls stuff up that's like pertinent. You have a
producer and he's listening to the show following direction and then when you guys are like saying stuff before you even,
do you like berate him and like, you know,
have to like really like yell at him?
No.
But certainly like he pulled, you know,
he's pulled up a bunch of wrong stuff
and then you guys are like,
that's not what we pulled, that's all he has for.
No, he's pretty accurate.
Yeah, he's on top of it.
He crushes actually, I think he makes the whole show.
Like how many Costco hot dogs are you guys throwing his way
or whatever?
No, I pay him through our LLC, but he gets paid with money.
All right, don't have my phone.
I was going to say, Siri, make a note for me.
Talk to Johannes about replacing it with,
what's his name?
Jake. Jake.
I gotta get a Jake.
By the way, that's my agent, Jake.
Yep, right. From State Farm.
For people who don't know,
Johannes is your podcast producer.
Oh yeah, sorry, yeah.
Johannes is, and I. Oh yeah, sorry, Johannes is,
and I'm gonna put quotes around producer
because, you know, Jake is obviously,
I mean, I just talked about Daft Punk
and I'm like looking at Daft Punk on a screen,
it's like, wow, imagine that.
And we've been trying to get the WiFi
from Del Taco next door, you know?
I've tried every combination there is,
you know, Taco is life, all the things.
You know, Burrito with a backwards arc.
None of it's working, but we're trying
to get Wi-Fi in my studio.
But this is amazing.
The amount of times like, Johannes, like, oh,
what was the name of the actress that Bruce Springsteen pulled
on the stage?
You know what I mean?
Courtney Cox.
But he couldn't pull it up.
Wow. Pulled up a photo of Debbie Moore. like, but he couldn't pull it up. Wow.
Pull up a photo of Debbie Moore.
Like it's a little different, to be honest.
Oh my God.
You didn't ask who's blowing Michael Douglas.
Now look at this.
Look at this.
Bunch of photos of, see they look like motorcycle guys.
Yeah. Yep.
They look, here's a question.
You guys ride motorcycles?
Yeah. You do?
Mm-hmm.
Every time I'm on the road in the lane,
you know, going like this, this is how I drive,
back and forth, it's a very shaky ride.
My car's going like this.
I want to know when the guy's whizzed by,
and I'm like, ah, and I pull off,
and they do like a little, they'll go, yup.
It's the best.
What is that thing?
They give me a little like, hey man.
Download. Yeah, what is that? It a little like, hey man. Download.
Yeah, what is that?
It's just like, hey man, thanks.
Appreciate you being considerate.
But what's like the origin of it?
Yeah.
I think it comes from a-
I want to go deep.
I think it comes from Native American conflict.
Oh, way back.
So when you used to like, you know, in a older, like Wyoming and Colorado centric tribes,
they would before killing their opponent, they would show that they could kill him to make him live in that fear for a moment.
And then as they rode by on their horse, they would hit him with the downward do symbol.
So Native Americans created motorcycles?
So, Native Americans created motorcycles? No, they created like the kind of like hand gestures that have since been incorporated
by motorcycles.
Because like the original motorcycle is the Indian, so it's born out of that same kind
of cultural idea.
What about?
Did they do West Side?
Is that them?
They came up with that too.
Dude, that's pretty cool.
Those were the more
LA-based tribes.
Mm-hmm.
Hell yeah.
That is kind of what this nation
is built on.
For sure.
East Side versus West Side wars.
Like that is kind of like
one of the few things that's like
we can put our stamp on that.
It's always going off.
Yeah.
Still is.
When you're dating.
Okay. Is it Goblin or is it, are you speciesist?
Oh that's so cute JT. No, JT, I have what's called Omni. You know, anything is game.
You know, it's just like, yeah, a plant is like.
Like a plant? You have sex with a plant?
That's a good looking plant.
I don't know if I'd have sex with it,
but I'd be interested in talking to it,
see where it goes, or any kind of creature,
human, animal, whatever.
I just wanna live at my options
of what I can fall in love with
because I fall in love
all the time, you know, just not necessarily that they will love me back.
Love me back.
Yeah, that's what I said, love me back.
And I've been told it's because, and I was told this by a really wise guy on my podcast.
Have you heard of him?
JT, he said that it's because I don't love myself.
I noticed that you had a pattern of like negative self-talk.
Yeah, I've been trying to work on it, JT.
You know what I mean?
I really have, you know, in the drive over, you know,
I immediately thought to myself, I'm like, oh yeah, yeah.
I'm such a piece of it.
And I was like, wait a minute, don't finish that thought, John.
Don't go down that road.
Remember what J.C. said?
Yeah.
W-W-J-T-S.
That's what I'm living my life by.
Amazing, man.
What would J.T. say?
So you had the power of the pause.
You were able to be aware of the clause.
The power of the clause, yeah.
Beautiful. Making your own the clause, yeah. Beautiful, making your own.
Sure, yeah.
You had the ability to watch your thoughts
and not be your thoughts.
That's right.
That's right, that's what I'm trying to do right now.
What do you think that's gonna unlock for you?
I mean, hopefully getting paid,
hopefully finding a relationship, I would like to
find somebody.
But you are on this kind of stardom.
Like you're becoming really well known.
You could say it.
I'm internet famous.
Yeah, it's happening.
People are recognizing you.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone, even the mailman is like screaming at me like, right now, you know, move your
car.
You're in front of the mailbox, you know. And I'm like, he's a fan.
I just always have places.
Cops are like, get down right now.
I'm just like, OK, guys, I'll sign your autograph.
Just put down the guns.
Has that changed the way you think about yourself?
I feel like it's a trap, which I'm sure you guys understand. The whole fame thing, it's a trap. It know what I mean? Which I'm sure you guys understand.
Like the whole fame thing, it's a trap.
It's like you think you want that.
You know what I mean?
And then you get it and it's fucking awesome.
You know what I mean?
It's so fucking awesome.
Can you curse out here?
It's fucking awesome.
And then you just like, you get treated differently.
And then things start going better, you know what I mean?
And then it has like its downsides,
which is like getting reservations at restaurants,
and getting like brand deals and free stuff.
And yeah, I'm sure there's downside.
Yeah, for sure there's downside.
So let's say you're talking to the plant.
Sure.
And it goes well and you feel like you have a connection.
Do you make out with the plant?
Is the plant consenting?
You know what I mean?
I'm not a monster.
I'm a goblin.
You know what I mean?
Let's assume there's consent.
OK.
I'll think about it.
I don't really kiss the plant. I'm going to be honest. It's assume there's consent. OK, I mean, I'll think about it. I don't really kiss the plant.
I got to be honest.
It's not normally my vibe.
I just mean, I don't limit my options.
OK, OK, got you, got you.
But if I was ranking, it'd be like human.
I think it's probably towards the top.
I think we can all agree it's one of the most attractive
species.
Human, yeah. Yeah. Over know what I mean? Yeah.
Yeah.
Overplant.
Overplant, yeah.
And then how old are you?
Me?
Barely 30, right?
I don't know.
You look young.
Yeah, I feel young, you know.
I mean, here's the thing, guys.
I don't really want to get into it.
I was adopted.
There's a lot about my past I don't really know,
other than I'm from Rosita.
But I assume, based on that, that I'm somewhere
in the 30 to 40 to 50 to 60 to 70 to 80 to 90 to 100,
120 to 500 range.
That's a big range.
Yeah, but I mean, kind of, isn't that how it is now?
It's like, you know, choose your age kind of thing.
We're living in a new time, JT.
No, totally.
And I mean, you know, health and beauty, it's very important to people and we're constantly
pouring money and energy into it.
How old are you?
Thirty-seven in January.
Thirty-seven?
Happy birthday. Thank you. Yeah. It's still a
couple ways away. Happy birthday. I'm savoring these last few weeks at 36. Yeah
because 37 it's that's it right? It's a totally different ballgame. Yeah
absolutely and you are? 34. 34? Okay like I'm young. Alright right. I tend to, yeah.
Yeah, you're bros, you surround your bros with like a younger,
are you the old guy in your squad?
Yeah, I'm the most senior.
Look at you.
And Chad's actually the second oldest.
The rest of the guys are all like 18, 19.
So I'm the young one here, okay.
And I'm here to listen for the knowledge.
You're the young gun.
Yeah, absolutely.
People look at me and they go, that is a young person.
So there's, you know, something we've
been talking about on the podcast a lot lately
is Strider, one of our buddies, and I, you know,
our significant others.
Is he dead?
Is that?
He's not here right now.
He's valet.
RIP.
He does valet.
Mycodolysis.
Yeah, yeah.
OK. He's alive. He's alive? now, he's valet. Oh, RIP. He does valet. My condolences. Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
He's alive.
He's alive?
Yeah, he's alive.
He's just doing valet.
He's doing valet right now.
Yeah.
That's who, is that who parked my car?
Did you park at the Beverly Hills Hotel?
Quite a walk, yeah.
Yeah, it was quite a walk.
Wow.
Yeah. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I was late, it was quite a walk. Wow. Yeah.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I was late, by the way.
That's okay.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
I was, I parked into the bedroom.
I just was like,
these guys probably have a nice podcast studio.
So I just went to the nicest place I could find.
I parked my car.
I saw your buddy.
I was like, hey, Chad JT, go deep.
And he was like, yeah, familiar.
And I was like, this must be the place.
Took my keys, okay.
Took my 97 Corolla onward, you know?
Looked like everyone was mad that there was gonna be
a park there.
And then I walked, I'm walking, I'm walking,
I'm walking, I'm walking.
Hours are going by.
Finally I'm at the place that I think
your producer told me to go, okay?
Went down into a parking garage, opened the elevator.
Elevator doors closed, okay,
but she had to have a key, which I didn't know.
So I'm hitting all these buttons,
nothing's happening.
Somebody's stuck in this elevator for like hours, you know?
Jake was giving us updates, that's true.
You really did get stuck in the elevator for this.
Yeah, I was stuck in the elevator, yeah, yeah.
Fire department came, it was a whole ordeal.
I'm sorry, man.
Yeah, no, it's fine.
I have no idea why you did any of that though.
I mean, for your podcast, I was like trying to get on this podcast.
I was trying to get here, you know.
But we gave you the address.
You gave me the address, but it's like you click it.
It's like, do you want to download an app to know where this address is?
It's like, okay, Elon Musk, I'm not clicking that.
You know what I mean?
Right. I'm not doing that. It's always like asking me, it's like, OK, Elon Musk, I'm not clicking that. You know what I mean? Right.
I'm not doing that.
It's always like, ask me, it's like,
do you want to update your phone?
I'm like, no.
And the guy at the counter is like,
are you sure you don't want to update your phone?
It's a flip phone.
Yeah.
And I'm like, no, I don't want to update it.
And then you don't like that music has gone towards the DJ
direction and gone away from instruments.
That's right.
So you just have beef with like things changing
and like technology?
Absolutely, yeah.
That's why on my show, we don't have good equipment.
You know what I mean?
It's like I don't want good equipment.
And is that a goblin thing?
I don't know if it's necessarily a goblin thing,
you know, I think just me myself,
it's that I have trouble with,
I think just me myself, which is I have trouble with...
I really like things in a particular way. And when something's kind of out of the norm,
kind of throws me off.
My heart starts beating, my palms get sweaty,
mom's spaghetti.
And I just feel like it's like I need to control the thing.
So I don't like when there's something new.
And so with a lot of stuff now, it's like I gotta know, control the thing. So I don't like when there's something new. And so with a lot of stuff now,
it's like, I gotta keep doing the new thing.
You know what I mean?
I even got on TikTok, you know.
You're amazing.
Really?
Yeah, cause that's fleshed out, man.
I totally understand where you're coming from.
And that's amazing awareness
as to why it's making you uncomfortable.
Because for you, it's really just about control.
You just wanna be able to know why things are happening
and to feel safe in that.
No, I don't think that's it, JT, trust me.
I'll figure out what it is, don't worry.
I don't need you to figure out what it is.
I'm gonna figure out what it is, don't worry.
Yeah, that's not it, but I'll figure it out.
That sounds like-
No, no, trust me, I got it. Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I really don't want you to figure it out. You know. That's, that's, that sounds like. No, no, don't judge me. I got it. You know, don't worry.
I'll figure it out. I really don't want you to figure it out. I'll figure it out.
All right. John. Yeah. You're safe here, man. We're friends. Of course we're bros. We're best bros.
Yeah. And so. Come to your wedding. Yeah, sure. I'll save the date. Yeah, sounds good.
I'll save them all, you know what I mean?
I'm open, you know?
Totally.
It is pretty wild.
I'm glad you're here for this too, that you got engaged.
I choked up a little bit when he came walking by.
Oh, you did?
Yeah, it was really sweet.
When I saw you and Kennedy walk into the restaurant,
it was a really beautiful moment.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, I surprised her on the beach and I was stressed. I didn't realize,
you know, you know what's so funny is you talk about it, right, with your girlfriend.
Yeah, for sure.
Or, you know, or the plan.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Yeah, yeah. And so you're like, you know, you're like in your mind, you're like, OK, she wants to get engaged.
But then when you get close to it and you plan everything in the back of your mind, you're like, wait, she could say no.
And that scared the shit out of me.
I was like, wait a second. Her parents are flying in for this.
She could say no. And then I feel like, well, do you still want to go to brunch?
Did you have a backup plan?
I wonder that.
Like, what if she said no?
I did have a backup plan.
I had a board in my truck
and I would have just paddled out to sea.
Good call.
The boatie.
Yeah.
And then you were having like,
I know, I get it too,
cause like, it's really important to us
to make our partners happy, right?
And to, and especially something important like that.
You want to just do it right.
Yeah.
And so the anxiety was up and you were telling me
you were having like fears that you'd open the ring box.
There'd be no ring, just all that stuff.
We gotta buy one.
Well, it was like an operation.
Her sister helped me out a lot
and put together this whole brunch
for everyone to celebrate afterwards.
And that added pressure to me
because in a good way though, it was all amazing,
but it was like, if I forget the ring,
or if the ring doesn't fit or I lose it somehow,
if I didn't have the thing afterwards planned,
I could have been like, oh, another day at the beach.
But if I lost the ring, I'd have to come back
to her family and be like, yeah, I don't have,
I forgot the ring.
And you could have done a-
Very embarrassing.
You could have done a psych.
A psych, yeah.
That's what you should have done.
A psych, yeah.
Will you marry me?
She goes, no, you, psych!
Yeah, psych.
And then I just paddle out to sea.
Yeah, just psych.
You're like, oh, you thought I was proposing to you?
Yeah.
What's wrong, okay.
Obviously I'm here to surf.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I just wanted to bring you to brunch.
And then you just keep asking.
Yeah, just like.
Each time, you know, next day you're like,
by the way, just checking in about yesterday,
do you wanna get married?
She's like, still no.
And you're like, not!
Just keep psyching her.
Do you think keep psyching her until I get a yes?
I think so.
It's kinda like, you do the handshake thing,
you can do that with a ring box.
She's like, are you sure?
Just playing it cool.
Do you wanna get married?
Just get it. And she'd be like, are you sure? Just play it cool. Do you want to get married? Well, just get it.
And she'd be like, never mind,
getting married is stupid.
Yeah, and it'd be like, this isn't even real.
And then eat it.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Eat it.
You can get it out eventually,
but just really show her.
Yeah, diamonds are robust.
Yeah, just take it down,
and just go, just really show her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't let her make you feel stupid.
I should have talked to you
before I did this whole thing.
I wish you would have texted me.
I saw the announcement, I was like,
I can't believe we didn't tell him
he was going to do this.
I mean, we're bros, and it's like,
I'm not even on that thread, you know?
I know, it's my bad, John.
It's all right, man.
It's all right, man, I'm here now.
You know what I mean?
I feel bad, you know, we're such good bros.
You've been such a good bro to us.
And I want to tell you, I bought you an engagement gift.
You did?
I did.
What'd you get him?
Psych!
Oh, dude.
Oh, dude.
Oh, come on.
No!
No!
Both of you guys, man.
Hey, John, that was a good one.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, yeah.
Psych!
Oh, I got you again, man.
But that's what bros do, man. That's what bros do, man. You're the alpha. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, oh, I got you again, man. But that's what bros do, man.
That's what bros do, man.
You are the alpha.
Yeah.
I feel that way, man.
Is that pressure to be the top dog all the time?
Yeah, I do feel that.
I do feel that, you know, to be the top,
to be the best on all types, you know.
And people are just gunning for you.
Yeah, I feel like this hat,
I don't know about Irvine, you know?
Purrvine.
Is that what they call it?
Is that what all the creeps check out?
Yeah.
So you're a Recita guy.
Yeah, I've been to the deep valley.
Yeah, I've been there my whole life.
So what's Recita known for?
Karate Kid?
You know what?
Yeah, there was a lot of,
that was kind of like the big claim to fame.
You know what I mean? It was a lot of, that was kind of like the big claim to fame. You know what I mean?
It's just kind of like a nice,
lower middle class neighborhood.
You know, nothing special.
My insurance company is there and you know,
we provide life insurance and that's like a big part
of the town and that's kind of it, you know?
You sell life insurance?
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's your day job? Yeah, that's right. it, you know. You sell life insurance? Yeah.
Yeah. That's your day job?
Yeah.
When you're not doing the pod?
Yep. Yep. That's my six to ten.
Yeah.
Six to ten.
Yeah, it's my six to ten, you know, like they say, you know, working my six to ten.
You work six a.m. to ten p.m.?
Six a.m. to ten a.m. the next day kind of like rolls over, I guess, like they have me do it.
It's like, you know.
28 hour days?
Yeah, sometimes, yeah.
That's a long time.
Yeah, that's a long time.
But I'm in sales, you know what I mean?
It's like, if you're not on the phones, you know,
you're not making the money.
That's kind of like that thing.
Are you drinking a lot of Red Bull?
I like coffee.
I'm a coffee person.
How many cups a day?
Cups?
I don't really do cups. I'll just,
there's like a big cup. It's kind of got like a, like you put in it, makes it, makes a big cup.
It's kind of a thing that like you drink out of the pot. It's like a cup. It's got a handle on it.
It's a cup. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. So I'll do, you know, a couple of those, you know. And you drink
it right away? Yeah. Usually you drink my coffee right away, yeah.
Like hot, like right when it's hot?
I like it scalding.
Yeah, I'm one of those people, yeah.
I like it really, really hot, yeah.
I don't really, you know, I don't have much taste bud.
I guess that's what I was curious about.
Do you burn?
In the sun I do, yeah.
What color do you turn?
I just like darker green, you know.
Whoa. Yeah.
Do you wear sunscreen? I try to, yeah. It'll really just like darker green, you know? Whoa. Yeah. You wear sunscreen?
I try to.
Yeah, it doesn't really make my SPF, you know?
It's kind of hard to put all over me.
Right.
You know?
I'm constantly running up to people on the beach,
you know, just like, can you pull on the hump?
You know, and they're running away.
Yeah.
Do you feel, too, like as your stardom increases,
that like you'll have to kind of conform to the beauty standards of like Hollywood and like,
like I noticed you have some male pattern baldness, looks like a C5 kind of pattern.
Do you think, is that something that you'd want to?
I mean, is it C5? Is there already C5? JT, it's C5 already?
Yeah, because you have recession beyond the temples.
Is that what's called a C5? I think so. Is it? Jake pulled it up. Oh wow, okay. That was so quick, right?
Jake, this is one of the things I don't want pulled up, so maybe just be more like Johannes,
okay? Yeah, so I've been told I have a little bit of a forefather hairline, which I thought
was kind of like cool. Uh-huh. I love it. Yeah, a little bit of a forefather hairline, which I thought was kind of like cool.
I love it.
Yeah, a little bit of a B-Frank.
You know?
But I have felt, I've been seeing some comments
about my teeth, and people are like,
are you going to get some dental work done,
or maybe some transplant, hair transplant,
or something like that.
So I definitely feel now more aware of my body than ever before.
You know, and definitely a pressure to look like a day-liftoff celebrity.
Do you think I should do that or like? I think you do whatever makes you happy. I honestly think
you probably should. I should do the things. Yeah, but do whatever makes you happy. I honestly think you probably should. I should do the things.
Yeah.
But do whatever makes you happy.
But I think you probably should do all those things to be happier.
What would make like you guys happy if I did it?
If you like if you got work done?
I think maybe dude if you could get like a nose job, I think that would really...
You think it's too small?
I know, it's fucking huge.
You got massive schnauz, dude.
Relative to human standards, I don't know about goblin.
That's actually pretty normal for a goblin.
It's like, yeah, I'll say it, yeah.
Wait, do other goblins say you have a good nose?
I think so.
Like most goblins are pretty.
Look at these hot goblins.
Wait a minute.
Wow, dude, if you can become like that guy.
Whoa, that guy's awesome.
Okay, guys, I'm sorry you can't realize
what's AI generated and what's real.
That is not a real, that's not how we look, okay?
You don't know any goblins that look like that?
No.
Hey, what's his name?
Jake. Jake.
Oh yeah, I forgot, same name as my YouTube.
Jake, not from State Farm.
Can you find, just put in real goblins
so the people can see,
like I don't want all these like distorted images
and like AIs, I want bodies to work.
See, there we go.
Those guys are cool.
There's my uncle.
That's your uncle?
Yeah, that's Patrick.
In his late 50s.
Yeah.
See like, he's kind of got like, you know,
you see what happens there?
He spent a lot of time in the sun.
He spent way too much time in the sun.
And he's one of those guys that's like,
he's like, oh, like they're putting all the stuff
in our sunscreen so they can listen to us.
You know, he's one of those.
We're those guys.
Yeah, we think sunburn comes from like oils
that you ingest.
The sun is actually really good for you.
Yeah.
Seed oils.
Seed oils. Canola oil. Our buff friend Matt,
he's like really huge. He came on the podcast a couple weeks ago and he told us he's tall.
Oh. All right. Well, maybe my uncle's right, I guess. I mean, I can tell you this. I don't
get to go out in the sun much ever, you know? I mean, right now I'm just on my lunch break, so.
You're working them hours, bro.
Yeah, I'll be back, you know?
Again, it's my fault.
Should have gone to the Beverly Center
or whatever, the hotel, and you know.
But I'm here, I'm here, and I'm ready.
Have you ever tried sunning your butthole?
You know what?
We're big on that.
When you guys talked about that on my podcast,
I've been doing nothing but Googling
and looking at the images and I want it.
You want it?
Yeah, I wanna do it.
Like it looks like, now that's something that'll help me.
Let's do it today.
Yeah.
What is it called?
Sunning my, my, my, my,
perineum.
Prima, primimium, perineum?
Perineum.
Perineum.
That's the space.
That's the space between your sack and your butthole.
Mine is very small.
That's nice.
Yeah.
We can expand that.
Okay.
I would like to be a part of that.
And I'd like to do what, like, like you said,
like in a group situation. Yeah, we could I mean Jake has a great
rooftop. I think the Sun's out today we could do it right after the podcast.
Wait, but Jake lives here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, you two. Okay, now I understand.
Yeah, I'm doing it all wrong.
Yeah, okay.
I'm living at my studio for the most part.
Joe Hottis needs to stay there so he can edit all night.
Be there to record. You have the producer live
at the studio. Yes. Man, you guys are like the next Gary Vee. We love that guy. Yeah, thank you.
He's a tech. He's great. For sure. That's like, that's how I view you guys. You guys are like the next,
you know, entrepreneur greats, you know. You guys are like the next entrepreneur greats.
Thank you, man.
That means a lot.
Yeah, if I was on Shark Tank, I'd be like,
I actually don't have any reasons I'm out.
I'm in!
You know, that's how I feel.
It's like, this is the move.
It's like, this is this guy's place.
Jake is gonna get done, we're gonna wrap,
and then you guys are gonna be like,
all right, deuces, go in to catch a gnar gnar and then he's gonna stay here.
You kind of roasted us with that we're gonna hit the gnar gnar thing.
What do you mean? You're not gonna hit him? No, I mean that's our verbiage but you
for sure were just like, that was too clean, too on point.
What should I say?
What do you guys actually say?
I don't know.
Instead of nar-nar?
Yeah.
Just go shred.
Just go shred?
Or dude, like, yeah, I'm just going to hit it.
OK, because shred in my culture means like, get on stage
and rip a solo.
Right, right, right, right.
So like, I'm used to to like in the metal world,
shredding is like, it's very sacred.
And like that's something that like, you know,
my guitarist does, Alex, you know, he shreds, you know,
Joe from NecroCavulcan shreds.
But if you were like, oh, they're good surfers.
I'd be like, I don't know what you're talking about.
That's interesting.
It's interesting that the word shred means so much
in both of our like different worlds.
Yeah. So like if someone's like a shredder for you guys,
what does that mean?
A shredder for us?
Someone who can rip any way from three foot
to triple overhead.
That's so interesting, that's kind of the same thing
because in ours, we have a lot of numbers,
like a shredder is someone who could shred
on probably like eight to 14 strings, ours, we have a lot of numbers, you know, like a shredder is someone who could shred on like,
you know, probably like eight to 14 strings, you know, using too many notes, you know,
weird time signatures, you know what I mean? So for you, who's the greatest shredder?
Of all time? Yeah. Oh, man. I mean, I'm obligated to say Alex in my band. I'm a big fan of him.
Of course. For Necroavicon.
You know, the guy from your crew, 100%.
Yeah, I mean Slayer, you know.
It ain't West Portland, you know.
I can tell you that much.
Does he suck?
I think he's okay in guitar, you know.
He's too invested in his other things,
you know what I mean?
Makeup tutorials and that kind of thing, you know.
Try to get a deal for Maybelline
if he just focused a little more on his guitar,
I think it'd be a little better.
Yeah.
You know, speaking of Wes,
so on your podcast right now,
you were supposed to have Fred Durst on,
but he bailed?
Yeah, he bailed.
Yeah, I was a little bummed.
But then, honestly, Gary,
the T-Vac artist that came on,
kind of thought he was like a better guest
than Fred would have ever been.
Wow.
You know, cause Fred's a bit of a yeah man.
You know what I mean?
Like there's like yes man, and then there's yeah man,
and Fred's a yeah man.
Right.
Well, he's a yeah man cause he, yeah.
What, yeah, what's your impression of Fred Durst again?
I don't really do impressions.
I mean, ask me if I do impressions of Fred Durst.
Do you do impressions of Fred Durst?
Yeah!
Can you do that again?
Yeah!
I mean, it's like, that's what Fred Durst would say if he was doing anything.
So what do you think is a more like seminal Fred Durst piece of art?
Chocolate starfish and hot dog flavored water?
Yeah.
Or the education of Charlie Banks?
I feel like it's a little bit of a Chris Gaines situation.
Right.
You know, and I'm sure your entire audience
understands that reference.
I get it big time and I think that's smart.
Like sometimes- Hey, pull up Chris Gaines.
Oh, Jesus Christ, look at him.
Look at him. Wow.
I, Jake, I'm so sorry.
I'm so used to yelling, you know,
and having to yell like four or five times.
You know, it's good, we need the energy
because I'm on like drama mean.
I literally just said it, I'm a molly, so this this is like this is incredible. That's great. They did Molly
Are you peeking right now? I feel like it. I feel like we're getting there Wow capital cities is do you need some touch?
What's that mean? It's like we got to rub you cuz you're peeking. Whoa
Wow, oh wow, yeah that feels here. All right, I get it now. See now I'm like, no, yeah, all right, all right. Wow, oh wow, oh yeah, that feels,
all right, I get it now.
See now I'm like, no yeah, yeah, yeah, see, oh yeah, yeah,
now I'm like, you know, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
yeah, yeah, now I can get into like the Geek Squad
and like be like, give me all the laptops, all the guys,
like now I get it.
Now, I mean dude, if you guys played Sandstorm right now,
that DJ, do you like it?
If you guys played Sandstorm right now, Jay hit it, bro, hit it. You know, it'd just. Now, I mean, dude, if you guys played Sandstorm right now. That DJ, DJ. If you guys played Sandstorm right now.
Jay, hit it, bro, hit it.
You know, it'd just be like, whoa.
You wanna hear Sandstorm?
I mean, if we're gonna really keep this journey going,
you know what I mean?
It's like, I gotta, oh.
By the way, I mean, just,
you wanna talk about not giving the audience what they want right
away?
This song?
Yeah, they make you work for it, right?
They really do.
You gotta earn it.
Yeah.
You're just kinda like, okay.
That's one of my favorite things about like, just a dance music house music is just the
way that it builds.
You know,
wait, there's a music video.
I've never seen the music video.
Sandstorm is a heist movie.
Okay.
Well, that used to be all of them, right? It was like that run, lolo, run kind of effect.
Everything was about the heist.
Wait, hold on, hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
Jake, hold on, don't touch anything.
December 28th, what is that?
What is that?
Oh, they're playing a show in DC, wow.
Whoa.
What are you guys doing on the 28th?
I'm down, dude.
Let's go.
Dude, let's go.
Don't tease me, Gobblegob.
We got it, I'll book the tickets today.
Or let's go, I mean, I literally,
I would love nothing more than to go with you guys.
Wow. You know?
Will you take Molly again?
Absolutely, I wanna peek together.
Maybe we could try Ecstasy Pills. Ecstasy Pills? Yeah, they're a little again? Absolutely. I want to peek together. Maybe we could try ecstasy pills
Ecstasy pills. Yeah, they're a little bit more hardcore. I think I heard about him
But I mean, yeah, like which one are you thinking like cuz I remember they always had like I think something like
Green lambos and make sure you test your stuff kids. Yeah, you have like 10 year olds
You do you dabble and do you do drugs a lot?
No, not if the kids are listening.
No.
Smart, dude.
Yeah.
That's tough.
It's tough to be real about my business,
but also keep it an example for the youngsters.
Absolutely.
I have a lot of young fans too, to be honest,
which I really love.
I think they've really latched on to the idea
that goblins are like good, you know, and trolls are bad.
And when they're getting bullied at school, like, that's a troll.
You know, but I want that to be more goblin.
That's awesome.
You know, and I think they're kind of like latching on to that,
which I love.
And I love seeing young fans at the Galakot shows now.
I mean, you're starting to rock of young.
You know what I mean?
And I love the way they've set it up or trolls like, you know, which is people who talk shit, want to hate you, want to rock of young, you know what I mean? And I love the way that you've set it up where trolls, like, you know, just people who talk
shit, want to hate you, want to bring you down, want to not encourage you, that's that.
But goblins lift people up.
That's right.
But do you have people in your own circle who don't get that?
Yeah, Johanna's a freaking idiot, you know what I mean?
Right.
Wow.
There's always one, right?
Yeah, there's always one.
You know, you ought to put them in line, you know, don't worry.
Like, it's like you can't just be a goblin is being good at something like that, but you also
can't just let people do whatever they want.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
You've got to correct stuff.
You can't expect them to produce, edit, book the guests, make sure the guests show up on
time, clip, title, hashtag, everything,
and then expect to get paid.
You can't really expand it.
Yeah, yeah.
You can't really.
That's ridiculous.
You give a troll an inch, you know what I mean?
They'll take a whole paycheck.
Yeah.
So it's just one of those things.
But yeah, I mean, like, I think that kids
are latching onto that, and they really like that.
And there's kids that watch my podcast now, which I love.
You know, I want to
be a whole family experience you know because I you know because no never mind that was stupid
I was just never gonna say no never mind keep keep going keep going I was gonna say that you know
just because I didn't get the family experience. It was just one of those things.
I just wanted it for them.
Because you were adopted.
Yeah.
And your family of origin, did you ever meet them?
Well, it's kind of like my father figure, I think, at the time.
He was Cuban.
He was kind of older. And in a heart attack,
we did a music video about it to honor him called Dress as Goblins. You guys can watch it on my
YouTube page. Yeah, guys check it out. But you know, it's just so it's one of the things where
it's like I don't, didn't really fit in, you know, wherever I've been, I haven't really fit in. And
and though there are goblins, you know, around, you know, I've't really fit in. And though there are goblins around, you know?
I've never seen one.
More in the Valley, yeah.
There's probably not a ton in OC.
No, no, no, I don't think so.
I think it's illegal.
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
A lot more trolls, but it's out here.
I feel like because we're not too much in,
you know, everyone's ether, so to speak, on a daily basis,
that when they do see us,
they're still a little bit of like a...
And do you ever feel like
you're not human enough for the human world,
but not goblin enough for the goblin world?
Dude, I don't know if it's the Molly,
but I just came again.
You know?
Whoa.
Cause, wow, that just like, that felt,
and by that kids, I mean that I just,
I felt good and I wanted to rush home
and do all my homework.
No, and we're okay with letting the youngsters know about
For sure, for sure.
orgasms and stuff, it's a positive experience.
Oh, for sure then.
Sorry if this is too crude of a question,
but do you come green?
It's all right.
I could ask this on every podcast.
Just one of those things where it's like,
I don't really want to get too deep into that kind of stuff.
You know what I mean?
It's quite a process for us.
Okay.
But I was saying that when you were saying JT, really kind
of hit because it's like, that's kind of how I feel.
It's like I'm with this band of humans
that are literally profiting off writing songs about me
and my culture.
It's in their name.
It's in the songs.
And I don't really feel fully accepted by them.
But then when I hang out with other goblins,
you know what I mean?
And they're like, you do a podcast, you know what I mean?
They're just kind of like, wait, we what?
You know what I mean?
And they're like, I try to like do this thing.
They're like, you're in a band,
like, what are you gonna give it up kind of thing.
And there was like encouraging me that way. And they're just're not really gobbled enough and they don't love that
I hang out with humans
Do you at all feel like you're getting ripped off to by Robbie Williams?
I don't know if you've seen the trailer for his new biopic, but instead of doing it with all humans
He has a gorilla playing him in the lead
Robbie Williams. Yeah, you know the I thought he passed away, but I love Patch Adams.
That's.
I love Patch Adams.
It's a great movie.
He's crazy Robbie Williams.
It's a different guy.
He's so funny.
Yeah, I know.
But I like this drama stuff too.
That's why I knew he was like good.
Yeah, no, he can do it all.
He could do it all.
But that's a different guy.
This is Robbie Williams.
He's a British pop star.
A British pop star was in Patch Adams?
No, no, no, that's Robin Williams.
So it's, they're just their first names,
like one letter different,
but it's Robin Williams and then Robbie Williams.
And so Robbie Williams, the British pop star,
he does a,
I'm chasing angels instead.
He's got a biopic'm chasing angels instead.
He's got a biopic coming out and instead of having like a, like a human playing in the
lead, it's this, it's this gorilla, this monkey rather.
And how does this fit in with me, JT?
Exactly.
That's what I'm asking.
Oh, okay.
How does that make you feel?
Oh, because you're not a monkey, but you are not a human.
Right. So here's the thing, JT.
I know you didn't mean this, pal. I know you didn't mean this.
But just you asking this question is kind of the problem.
Because I mean, I have nothing to do with monkeys. We're not related.
You know what I mean? Like truly nothing. In fact, I would argue that you two humans have a lot more
to do with monkeys than I do. So why don't you ask yourself this questionion because Robbie Williams is a human and he's becoming a
private which is your ancestor
So how do you two feel about Robbie Williams and this monkey?
Yeah, I thought it was kind of lame okay for sure, but I wasn't aware of the
The insensitivity where I was making everything different.
You and everything the same me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bingo, bingo.
Yep.
It's okay.
No, I, my whole life I've felt a bit other.
So I relate to anyone who feels just like you know
the norm is out of reach and
For me to do that to you is just it's not cool No, I get I get it. You know me but I I do want to know what you think of Robin Williams, you know
Having a CGI gorilla
Oh
Wait, I know why
Because he was in Jumanji!
That's where the gorilla's from!
No.
It's from Jumanji!
No, but I still have to correct you.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
I still have to correct you.
That's my final answer.
It's because he was in Jumanji.
I also just thought it was crazy that he had a gorilla playing him,
and I just know you're a good commentator on
Yeah.
Pub Culture stuff.
There he is!
I'm actually reversed kind of upset now.
I think he's actually tried to pigeonhole me
as a bigot when I'm not.
He sings that song.
This is the guy that sings that song.
Millennium.
No, no, that's the other.
That's him.
That's the comedian Robin Williams.
Correct.
The comedian Robin Williams,
who sings the song Millennium,
which was a huge hit like right at that time.
When that came out,
that was like during the,
now this is what you call music time, when that came out, that was like during the,
now this is what you call music time, which by the way, I own all 162 of them. Wow.
So good. What was your favorite, now this is what I call music, would you say?
Oh, it's gotta be 23 with Marcy's Playground on it.
Dude, can we fact check that? That was such a deep pull. I'm so proud of you, JT.
Does that have Marcy's Playground on it? No was such a deep pull. I'm so proud of you, JT. Does that have Marcy's playground on it?
No, that's way off.
No, that was, I don't.
But dude, that is Lips as an Angel by Hinder.
This is, yeah, this is about 12 years later,
but still a frigging fire one right here.
Let's find out which one has Marcy's playground on it.
Yeah, let's pull that one up.
Because they're saying at home right now
that their Google Alert just went off.
They're like, someone finally talked about us!
And I'm happy to bring it back.
I mean, I think Everclear was probably on that one.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, yeah, pull it up.
If I had to guess, there's the band Fuel, maybe?
Dude.
Third Eye Blind.
In my hands again.
Let's see.
Heave on, you you now in my hands.
Oh, closing time.
Semisonics, someone said the check,
which I just realized is their check.
Oh, this is an older one you're pulling up.
This is 24.
I smell sex and...
I can't find the... I think it's 15 is the one that it is,
but it's cut off here.
Do these still go on?
Now that's what I call music.
I was just wondering that.
I don't think so, unless they're, are they on Spotify?
That's a good question.
I'm not on Spotify. Do you still, are you still seeing that? Marcia's they are they on Spotify. That's a good question. I'm not on Spotify
I'll still see you guys never on it. Yeah, I like I I still like to go to the store and you know
Have something tangible you leave with you know
Do you do you?
Do you have beef with?
Streaming music now that do they steal a lot of your do you feel like you're not fairly compensated? Yeah, I didn't really realize that until Gary, not Fredders, came on my podcast and talked to me
about it. I wasn't really aware of like how badly that they take advantage of artists, you know?
I mean, everyone's like tagging us in the Spotify rap, you know, and they're just like,
oh, Necropotent, millions and millions of streams and stuff like that. I just like, oh, Decker-Grabacod, millions and millions of streams
and stuff like that.
I'm like, oh, well, that must be
millions and millions of dollars, you know?
And you're not really, are you seeing a dime of that?
Correct, a dime.
Yeah. Damn.
A dime of that, that is exactly the ratio.
What'd you do with that dime?
It got split, you know, between the 46 band members,
you know, so we're trying to narrow
it down. Damn. Yeah, but that's the music biz, guys. You know what I mean? That's the biz,
you know? That's music, baby. That's music. Now that's what I call music. Oh, 23. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, okay. There you go. It feels good to say it, doesn't it? Yeah.
It's like everyone's constantly saying no.
I feel like people should just say yeah as much as I can.
Can you say yeah the way Fred Durst says it?
Can I say yeah the way Fred Durst says it?
I don't even know what you're talking about, man.
I don't do that kind of stuff, man.
I don't do it.
You don't do impressions of Fred Durst?
Yeah, I do.
Wait, this is a weird circle back, but dude,
one other thing I heard, I don't know if this is fact,
but I heard, how did you get Kennedy
when you proposed to look away?
Oh yeah, I was like, look a whale.
And?
I think she knew what I was doing.
Okay.
But she obliged.
Oh, she knew?
Not until we got to the beach.
And she said, I was like, hey, check that out.
Look, there's a whale jumping.
And she like turned, she's like, okay, I'll turn around.
Oh, I thought you genuinely faked it
because it's a good fake out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, check that out, it's a whale.
There's a whale. And you you know what she says that now
But she seemed like she seems to fall for it. She was surprised
But she seemed like she fell for it that specific where I was like check that out a whale
She's trying to cover up because she doesn't like that. She got faked out. Yeah, you got her
I psyched her pretty hard. What if what if that, then you come back, you're proposing,
and she's like, where's the whale, dude?
Did you think about that, if she got so invested?
She was like, oh my god, a whale?
And she came back.
Yeah, she came back, and she was like,
no, that's a ring box.
Where's the fucking whale?
Dude. And she turns out, she's like, you've Where's the fucking whale? You know?
Dude.
And she turns out, she's like,
you've never lied to me before.
Yeah, and I-
Oh, wow.
Because I, you know, we were talking about this earlier,
I did psych her on the proposal.
Technically. Yeah.
With the whale.
Oh.
I just didn't say psych.
That would've been fun.
But that's a huge risk.
I didn't realize how much of a risk I was taking
where I was, I could, she could have been like,
where's the fucking whale?
And I'm like,
Whales are my favorite.
Well, I got this ring for you and she's like,
get lost dude.
Cause a whale or the other part
which you didn't think about,
Chad is, what if you said,
oh, there's a whale and there was a whale.
And that would have been even better. And then it was like, and there was like, no, no, come here, everyone, check it out, oh, there's a whale, and there was a whale? And then it would have been even better.
And then it was like, everyone's like,
no, no, come here, everyone, check it out,
and then everyone's like, coming,
and then everyone's just like around,
and you're like, oh, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on,
if you guys just give me a second,
they're like, shut up, dude, there's a freaking whale.
Wow. And then everyone's just like,
oh my God, get a boat, let's go see it,
let's get everyone, everyone get on this boat.
Then you're on a boat, and then you're like,
being whisked away to sea, you know, and then you're like, being whisked away to sea.
You know, and then you're like,
oh no, how am I gonna do this?
Now I got this thing in my pocket.
And then, what's her name, Kennedy?
Kennedy's like, where'd it go?
We should find it.
And then she's like, put on this diving suit.
You know, and then you're putting on a diving suit
and you're like, I'm not even certified.
Then you're like, you're gonna have to like trade.
And then she's like, put that thing of oxygen in your mouth
and you're going under and then you're like, oh now it's like in my wetsuit the box and then
you're like having to swim down there to find this whale and you're like down there and you're like
I can barely breathe I don't even know how to you actually dive but the but the things and then you
come back up you go in a boat you're taking away your wetsuit she was like that was incredible she
goes this is going to be the best day of my life.
And then she's like, and I just love that you knew
that I wanted to see this whale, Chad.
Anyways, what were you gonna tell me?
You've been acting funny.
And then what would you have done?
Do you wanna get married?
Or, oh my God.
A whale.
Oh, you just keep, yeah, see that could happen.
Yeah, she's like, don't get us,
I didn't think the state could get any better.
Back in, and then you put your wet suit back on.
You put the thing back on.
Oh yeah, I just keep doing it,
it's sort of like Groundhog Day.
Yeah, and then eventually.
Not even stuck in this whale loop.
Yeah, and then you're looking like,
oh god, I have 28 missed calls for my parents.
And then you finally call them and they're like,
aunt, how was it?
You're like, listen, we're on our 27th whale watch.
I've been diving all day.
I'm exhausted.
It didn't pop the question yet.
Yeah, it's kind of like groundhog day.
Yeah.
Man, I mean, again, I wish I had texted you before.
Well, before your wedding, run it all by me I wish I had texted you before.
Before your wedding, run it all by me.
Cause I'll lay out all the scenarios for you
just the way you don't, you know,
cause that's a big thing.
Have you officiated a wedding?
I've been asked to, yeah, but unfortunately
we were on tour during a lot of those
and I really would love to.
We've actually had a proposal at our show.
Wow. In the pit.
Pit cleared out. In the pit? In the freaking pit pit man. Get in the pit and try to love someone. And they did. And they chose to do that. Some people hear things but they don't ever listen. That's right. And these people did. And they they were in the pit and they proposed. That's awesome. But she she said yes as well. You know what I mean? But I was thinking like in that
scenario, if anything, she's going to be like, wait, wait, wait. He's like, will you marry me?
And she was like, no. And then he could have just had everyone, you know, create the wall of death
and smash her in the pit. And she would have forgotten and probably got concussed. That's a
good move. The wall of death is a great move. Yeah, she says no and then she just gets like consumed by bodies.
Yeah, exactly. You never have to see her again.
Yeah, she'll look at sweat and crowd surf her back to the back, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, if a girl rejects me, I just can never look at her again.
Yeah, that's kind of how I would feel, you know, if I, if, you know.
Right. Yeah, for sure.
That's the thing. I do feel like I've been been lucky like my life's just been uninterrupted green lights
But I can't even imagine what it would be like to just get you know
Let down by a honey
How on a scale of one to two how nervous were you I'd be like
And are you excited to get it over? I?
was I do I think I was about a level nine nervousness.
And as soon as we did it, I was basking in the moment.
But up until that point, I was like,
let's just do this thing so I can pull it off.
Because a lot of factors, and now there's a lot of factors
I wasn't even aware of, like this whole whale sitch.
That could have really thrown a fat wrench in my plan.
So, you know, luckily Apollo was on our side,
the sun was out and everything went to plan.
But thank God she wasn't that invested in the whale.
That's all I can think about now.
Yeah, thank God.
Thank God.
Yeah.
Hand to God, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Is that like a Moby Dick thing?
What?
Whales?
Yeah.
It's about a big whale.
Oh.
Yeah.
Great book.
You read the whole thing?
No.
Probably see the pictures.
That's the vibe, dude.
Yeah.
Do you remember what were they called?
Great Illustrated Classics.
Yes. That's it.
Those were the best. Those were so good.
I would crush them like left and right.
Yeah, that was kind of like,
that's how I learned.
You know what I mean? Pictures. Oh look at this!
We said something, and
it is so. Thank you, Jake.
Yo, Jake,
should we do some calls to John Goblokon? How do you feel
about giving advice to some of the listeners and just, they call in with
relationship problems and we kind of help them out.
I can't wait.
That's like, that's one of the main things I'm like excited about.
Do you need headphones?
No, I'll just use my goblin ears and I'll hear.
Wow.
Yeah.
You're hearing that?
It's ringing.
Oh, hey, what's up?
And you're on chat and JT go deep. Hello.
Sorry. Hold on.
May I hear you now? Hey, man.
How's it going? You're on chat and JT go deep.
What up? It's a little choppy.
We're going to fix it.
Yeah, we can hear you.
Can you hear us?
Audio just massively dropped.
We've been having issues with our calls.
Hello?
This is so embarrassing, dude,
and in front of John Goblikon.
Can you hear us now?
Yeah, can you hear us?
Oh my God, this is so embarrassing
this this is this makes me feel so much better
it must right you know what I mean hello he can just keep talking what were you gonna say
John? I just think that like up until this point I've been like wow seems
like everyone else's podcast is like just above and beyond, you know?
Mm-hmm.
Just to have just a slight wrinkle
makes you guys just appear a little more human,
which is a good thing.
Thank you. Thanks, man.
I had you up on such a pedestal this whole time,
and I still do,
but like just with stuff like this,
it was just like, okay, all right. Because the fact that you were going to even get a call and it was going to be live is like
blowing my mind. Yeah.
It's like, how could that even happen? And the answer is it's not. It's not going to happen.
You know, I don't, I, I'm such a big fan. I'm, I'm trying to find the, the, the good part of you
seeing us like a little bit humbled and that connecting you to us, but I'm trying to find the good part of you seeing us like a little bit humbled and that connecting you to us
But I'm pretty fucking pissed right now. Yeah, if I'm being honest that cannot happen again
JT say it. I mean this is this is like now you're in my room, baby. Okay, what are we doing here?
Yeah, let Jake have it Jake. Yeah
Yeah, I thought I fixed it but he sounds so relaxed though. Yeah. Yeah, he thought I fixed it, but. He sounds so relaxed though.
Yeah, he does.
He's just kind of very calm.
Well, I'm just kind of disappointed in my own work,
I guess you could say.
Oh wow, see now that's something
you would never hear Johannes say.
He's always like, point the fingers.
He's like, it's the equipment we don't have.
Johannes doesn't beat himself up.
Nope.
Jake will do that.
Well, in Sweden, they don't have feelings.
Like it's just one thing.
It's darkness all the time.
Yeah, it's rough, but.
You know, Jake, for whatever it's worth,
I believe you can get this going.
I hope he does.
I mean, you can.
JT, do you just wanna call the number from your phone?
It's right here and put it up to the mic.
Oh God, that's terrible. and put it up to the mic. Oh god that's terrible
that's gonna be shit man we can't do that and you know Chad's being cool he's
texting me off he's texting me right now saying fix it. I was like yeah I was
saying something even worse. Wow. This is in front of John Gobble-Con. I mean Jake.
John we're sorry this is so embarrassing. No Goblokon. I mean, Jake. John, we're sorry. This is so embarrassing.
It shouldn't be embarrassing.
I mean, when you guys were on my podcast,
it's like lights were falling.
You know, the desk was all crinkly.
This is unacceptable.
We were recording for 75% of the material.
This is SoCal's most popular podcast
and we're letting you down.
You could change someone's life today.
And what if that caller had something very important?
That's true. You know what, guys?
Here's what I'll say.
We found Sandstorm. We can get through anything.
I really do believe that.
He did get on Sandstorm.
Yeah, I really do believe that.
You know?
Jake, do you want to try one more time?
But if it doesn't work, we're going to be unhinged.
Yeah, I think basically what it is is like, it's cutting out the live so the live can't
hear you and then the caller can hear you.
Has a huge breath from Chad.
Yeah, I'm sorry, bros.
Do you want to try with your phone or no?
Yeah.
All right.
What do you think?
I guess try from the phone.
It's tough, but.
Such trash.
How are you doing, John?
I'm okay.
I mean, it's just.
Here's the number.
You can call it how it is, man.
Cause I, cause you're honest, John.
Oh yeah.
You know, I just, I was just remembering back to,
you know, the eight and a half miles I walked,
you know, over here.
And I just thought like, well, at least when I get there,
they'll have their shit together.
You know, I thought for sure, you know, that was,
when I was locked,
when I was, when I was locked in that elevator.
And I didn't know if those doors were ever gonna open again.
You know what I mean?
Because that's like a new apartment complex and no one was in it.
You know what I mean?
It's way overpriced.
Before I got into the elevator, I was looking it up and I was like,
that's the charging for one bedroom?
You know what I mean?
No, this place is empty. You know what I mean and I knew it
and then clearly then they're building more similar ones like right next to it so if I was
like go I was like well it's sweet you know see how those look once they're done you know
but it's like this place is empty no one's going to find me in here no one but at least if I survive
I'll get to help some people on some phone calls
on going deep with chatGPT. That's what I thought. That's honestly what I thought.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'll take accountability for this one. I've been trying to work this out for
multiple days, and I thought I hacked it, but clearly I didn't. So I'm going to have to chatGPT
it again and try and ask the robots if they can help me.
This is especially tough because I literally texted you
before I'm like, this is gonna be the most seamless podcast
you've ever seen.
That's what you were saying, you're going on and on about it.
There's gonna be no audio issues.
No, you might save someone's life,
you might change someone's life,
you might fall in love.
And I don't know if I'm able to fulfill
all those promises, John.
Yeah, at this point, it's like I don't even believe
you're engaged, you know?
It's like I don't really know what's real, you know?
But I'll say this, Molly's still doing its thing, so.
You're still peeking.
Yeah, at the end of the day, like, I feel good, still.
You know?
Do you feel like you're just sinking
into the couch right now?
I'm on a couch?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
That was a quicksand.
This is, yeah, I really enjoy this,
and I gotta be honest, I'm relaxed, you know, at this point,
I'm like, we could take a call.
We could not take a call, you know what I mean?
Like, I feel like I've helped enough people in my time
that like, you know, whatever, bro.
Do you, with your newfound fame,
do you have a lot of female goblins in your DMs?
I wouldn't say a lot, you know,
the ratio is a little off, you know.
Yeah, you can mostly dudes. You can look at your analytics on YouTube. Yeah, it's brutal.
Yeah, it's like,
it'll say like, this is the male demographic and the female demographic
just has like the sad face emoji on it.
Mm hmm. You know, it's just like, that's it.
Yeah, I would like more.
And there are some ladies that do listen to the podcast, but
I wouldn't say necessarily my Ds are blossoming with that.
You know it's a lot of dudes still which hey again.
Better than nothing.
Better than nothing and I'm open to dudes as well.
You know whoever.
Oh.
They'll hook up with dudes.
I mean I'm just about finding the right thing for me.
And are you a top or a bottom?
What does what does that mean?
Do you penetrate or get penetrated?
Is that what they say?
I think so. Is that what they say?
Don't put me on the spot. Yeah, that's what they say. OK.
Yeah, that is what they say. Okay. That is what they say.
Yeah, I mean, I would be open to either.
Okay.
I like to be on top in most situations.
So I feel like that might be more my thing, you know?
But I just kind of want to like, do it.
You know what I mean?
So it's like whatever, you know, top, bottom, middle,
you know, whatever floor I'm on is fine. I don't really care, you know.
Middle, are you open to three ways?
Sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'm open to whatever floor as long as I don't get stuck in
the elevator, you know, while we're doing it. That's kind of how I feel.
You seem like actually a really sexually adventurous guy.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
I'm open.
Oh wait.
Hey, you're on chat and JT go deep with John Goblokan.
Oh, what up?
What up?
Oh, I like that.
He's like, oh, what up?
Hello.
What up, guys?
How you living? Pretty good.
Hey, first and foremost, big congratulations to Chad.
Oh, thank you, dude. Freaking legend.
Preach. Yo, so I've been on the pod
actually a couple of times, and I had something new come up
that I wanted some
Some advice on so last year maybe around this time. I called in about some snowboarder versus skier beef going on
Here in Utah. Mm-hmm, and then we continued on
JT put me in my place on that call and it was chill
But then we I called back in and we talked about how I couldn't kick flip anymore but
the good news is that my wife was prego with our firstborn then uh sorry to be long on this but
then actually a few months ago she gave birth and so we've got our baby boy so I guess we have a
whole arc going on now and as I've been raising this baby boy so far, the first thing I had to do was show him some legendary
cinematic masterpieces.
And so we actually went through and watched all the
Fast and Furious movies, of course,
as the first order of business.
And before we even ended the first movie,
my wife joined in because she saw how sick they were.
And then I realized being a new dad and a husband,
am I a little bitch for only driving a Jeep? Like, do
I need to drive a sicker car?
Wow, that was a lot of a lot of preamble up top for that.
Sorry about that.
Now, what kind of Jeep do you drive?
That's the problem. It's not like a sick
Wrangler or anything. It's just a Jeep
Compass.
Jake, can you pull up the Jeep Compass?
Jake, can you pull up the Jeep Compass?
It kind of looks like a Cherokee.
I mean, John, do you have any thoughts? Do you think this guy is a bitch for driving a Jeep Compass?
Yeah! Next question!
All right, thanks, man.
I almost missed out on that. Oh, this next number is a 949.
Let's get a crazy look on the phone.
Wow, dude.
You're so good at that.
Usually we, you know what?
Sometimes we might just be a little bit too nice
when sometimes you just gotta give him
the straight, hard truth.
Oh yeah, man.
Yeah, man, like, you know,
I don't think I was being nice.
I would give you the advice.
I'd give you good advice.
Like, sometimes it's like,
I just don't wanna waste his time.
You know what I mean?
Right.
He showed his, that was a mistake.
He showed his wife, Fast and the Furious.
Imagine being her, watching that movie
and looking at the driveway.
I don't want her to, I don't want him to bring his son,
his son's a baby, seeing all these cool cars.
And then they're like, I'll get in the car.
So he's like, what the heck is this trash?
Yeah.
It's not like we got DOS. Yeah, yeah. Dude you did you totally right? Yeah, you cannot show your children fast and furious and then get into a bitch car
That's it. I'm just like he asked for advice again. They buy what I think I was beating me
I'm so sorry to that guy if he thought he's being no I thought was perfect
It's also not like he's been a fan of the show for so long
We've gone through so much with him, you know, from him meeting his gal to having her get pregnant to have a kid.
Did you guys set him up?
Yeah, we were part of that too.
So he pretty much has like,
Chad and JT to think for like almost everything.
Yeah, I mean, I think we're responsible,
JT's responsible for helping resolve his beef with skiers.
And we're kind of responsible for their new baby.
Yeah.
And now we're responsible for him
understanding that he's a bitch for driving a Jeep Compass.
That's it.
It's huge.
Yeah.
Who do we have now?
You're on Chad and JT go deep with John Gobblecon.
John Gobblecon, JT, Chad, what up?
This is T Frank over here.
How you guys doing?
What up, T Frank?
What up?
What's up?
So first off, yeah, congrats, Chad.
Pretty huge.
Thank you.
That's awesome.
So I am 32.
I'm actually a Manhattan Beach bro.
Chad, I met you at Culture about this time last year.
Oh, nice, dude
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was the one that um kind of threw out the idea of the caller thing, dude. That's right Yeah, yeah, dude. You're the man dude. Thank you for thank you. You are you are
Directly responsible for that so good to hear from you. Yeah
No, I've been kind of waiting to reach out for the right thing. And so I've had a few kind of things going on in life.
Yeah, like I said, 32, I'm single living in Houghton Beach,
but kind of having a hard time finding like,
I guess footing in life in a way,
just actually went to San Margarita too, JT.
Kind of random.
Yeah, go Eagles.
We got Carson. Dude, pretty huge.
I think it's going to be exciting, even though I don't really follow high school football,
you know, these days.
But anywho, I'll get to the beef here.
So or the kind of matter at hand.
Wait, first find something in common with me.
Now do me.
What do we have in common?
Go.
I don't know enough about you, Mr. Galvulkin, so I can't say.
I can't say both.
I'll tell a little bit more about me and then you can let me know what we got.
I don't know anything about you, so there we go. Thank you.
All right. I'll do the question.
Anyways, so started a job a few months ago kind of in tech sales,
just like basic SDR stuff.
It's all right. I've jumped around, I guess, a lot career wise
and just really haven't
found anything I love. I guess, you know, work is supposed to kind of suck to a degree more or less,
but I was employed for a few months this summer and I kind of threw out an app to the Peace Corps
and they hit me up with a couple different options and they most recently hit me up about like a
economic development facilitator position in Fiji. And so I'm kind of just going back and forth on it.
Like I said, I'm 32 now. I'd leave next summer and wouldn't be back for a couple years and
it's just like, hey, I've got a good thing going on in Manhattan Beach as far as like the living,
the friends, you know, but I do feel like I'm kind of just in this weird
rut more or less. And I don't know if this is an opportunity to mix things up and kind
of realign, reset, get re-centered and focus on other things in life, or if it's more of
just like a cop out from the corporate America world and just, yeah.
So I don't know.
I just find I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
And so I wanted to get your take.
Um, well, first off, before I get into what my original answer would be, I
want to say that someone in the chat just said Peace Corps in Fiji is lit.
I met a geologist that went there for Peace Corps.
He got laid like crazy.
I think that's an important thing to say up top. I would say this, that's awesome that you looked into it.
It's awesome that you have this opportunity. And if you were looking at your life at this fork in
the road and one was one movie and the other was another movie, which movie would you rather watch?
Dude, and yeah, when I think about that, it's like, shit, dude, go, go
for the adventure, go for the
something different.
And I mean, living on an island,
giving back to, you know, people in
need would be really fulfilling and
interesting. And I do.
I love the beach. I love so-called
living. But it's like it's not going
anywhere. And, you know, I'm
getting older, but I'm not too old
yet. So it does seem like
a cool opportunity to go for it. Yeah, and you might be at the,
I mean, I don't think you're ever too old,
but I understand what you mean.
Like you want to do other things.
You might be at the edge of that range
where you can do stuff like this.
So I would take advantage now while the getting's good.
And the getting could be real good.
I mean, real good.
I mean, Chad, great surf out there too.
So that'd be really cool. So yeah, I mean,
still have some time to kind of like make the decision to learn a little bit more about it, but
yeah, it would just be weird leaving for a couple years and kind of coming back and
more kids are just gonna be kind of settled down, having kids, doing that. And again, I'm not holding myself to their timelines
or anything like that,
but it would be a difficult adjustment,
or just a big adjustment getting back to this life.
John, how do you feel?
What do you think?
Do you think he should take a chance
and do the Peace Corps in Fiji,
or should he stay on his sort of secure,
steady corporate track?
Well, I think first and foremost,
I don't think he really spelt out the other movie.
I mean, we kind of got an idea
of what the Peace Corps Fiji movie is,
but like, as someone who works in corporate America,
I just want to kind of paint what that other film could look like.
Because I think like I don't want to just say that that's like not fun and cool.
That's true.
Yeah.
I mean, like, I mean, think about this way.
What's his name?
What's your name?
Tyler.
Tyler.
I mean, think about it this way.
Like this is what this film could look like.
Okay.
You get a job, right?
You're hired.
You show up to an office on Monday. You know what I mean? this film could look like, okay? You get a job, right? You're hired.
You show up to an office on Monday,
you know what I mean?
And there's a woman named Susan
and she's microwaving salmon during her break
and in the whole friggin' office
is like rakin' like salmon.
You know, there's like kinda like that overhead lighting
and it's kinda like giving you a headache
and you're staring at a screen all day,
you know what I mean?
And then you realize, okay, I guess I'm done
with all my work, but it's only one o'clock.
I guess I just gotta keep, I don't know,
watching YouTube videos about cats
until I'm allowed to leave.
And then they let you leave and you go home
and you crack open a tall boy of a white claw and you watch Big Bang Theory by yourself.
You know what I mean? And then you go to bed, you know, you have a little cry and then you're like,
Oh, it's Tuesday, four more days, you know, and then you do that kind of like every day.
And then the years kind of just kind of blend together and then eventually you know I mean you're like
you know just spending all your money on therapy so like that's a kind of cool film
those those movies when oscars sometimes you know so just I just want also like you know that's that
could be one option as well as you know getting Fiji P. Yeah, it's an option. It's maybe not ideal, but it'd be kind of comfortable and steady.
Yeah, it's just, it's uh...
Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. I know, it's tough. It's tough.
Yeah, it seems, it's a tough question, but you know, I think maybe the general consensus
here is that Fiji pussy is potentially better.
Yeah.
Yeah, like you hate to make a value judgment on any way of life and we have listeners who
do both.
So I understand, you know, smelling Susan's farts all day is.
Do I do that?
I do that so I can do the other stuff, you know, that's also part of it, you know
Yeah, it's up to you man
That's you know, the beauty of life, right? It's up to you. It's up to your own kind of decisions and what you value and
Yeah, I mean I think either way it'll it'll be alright it would just no no no
I mean, I think either way it'll be all right. It would just kinda-
No, no, no.
Suck to go there and then come back
and I guess like not be able to get that A job.
You'll be all right with either side,
but that's just because as humans
we can learn to tolerate anything.
Oh, look, final thought, final thought.
I'm just thinking about this as I heard you talking.
If you go to Fiji, okay, are you going to be at night losing sleep that you didn't stay at a job?
Or if you stay at a job, do you think there might be a few nights where you lose sleep
might be a few nights where you lose sleep, wondering what it would have been like,
you know, balls deep and Fijian, you know.
Do you think that one might make you,
which one's gonna make you lose the sleep?
Because then you gotta go do it.
And worry about all the other stuff after the fact.
You know what I mean?
Just go do the thing you wanna do the most.
And then, you know what I mean? I'm do the thing you wanna do the most. And then, you know what I mean?
I'm sure there's office jobs in Fiji, pal.
Yeah, that's one way to put it.
But again, I'm not so concerned about, I guess,
the ladies and all that.
I'm more concerned about, like, yeah,
I guess what's gonna make me happy in the long run.
We're just using that as like an example
of how much potential's in Fiji. It's the waves, too. It's the new culture. It's the beautiful landscapes. It's the long run. We're just using that as like an example of how much potentials in Fiji.
It's the waves too.
It's the new culture.
It's the beautiful landscapes.
It's the meaningful work.
It's also the Vegean ass, but that's more just a catchall.
You should go, man.
And people want to hire people who do stuff like that.
People want to be around people who do stuff like that, who take big risks and who have
lived exciting lives.
I don't think you'll have trouble getting a gig when you get back. Yeah and that's a good point. And not only
is it the the Fijian ass but it's also you're you're helping establish peace in the world.
And that's valuable, that's important. Peace is pretty huge. Peace is huge and so I guess one more
thing before I go.
Yeah, so I was kind of doing my big kind of trip around the world
and end of 2019, beginning of 2020.
And I was in Indonesia on my way to the Philippines when COVID happened.
So I was kind of trying to stay there.
And then with the visa thing in Indonesia, you only
ought to stay a certain time.
And so I feel like I just kind of have this itch that just
hasn't fully been scratched. And like, that's why I just kind of have this itch that just hasn't fully been scratched and like
That's what I'm kind of just like I felt like I got blue balled with this kind of you know big adventure time
That's just extra information. You should just go to feed go to feed you. Yeah more reason to go
Truly truly. I love you man. Go do it. You guys you got this brother
Good luck Tyler. You got this time. Thank you live big bro. Yes
Live big dog. You love you peace core
Gobblecon you ripped that bro. I mean I just
I've been there. You know, I've been there when he was talking about like that's how I feel about the band sometimes
It's like I'm working an office job.
All I wanna do is be on the road touring.
Yeah.
All I wanna do is have a podcast, you know?
And so sometimes I'm like, why have I do this?
And I should just be doing this.
And sometimes I'm like, you know,
I feel like you guys kind of, you know,
awoke that in me where I'm like, you know,
next year,
I'm going to think about quitting.
Why not just quit now?
It's like Tuesday, you know what I mean? I think I'm like the workload that I got, you know, it's like,
can't just like, you know, do that. But okay, JT, you know, looking like a guy who's ever had a real job, you know, but like I'm just saying, like, it just one of those things.
But I think in his case, you know, he's
you know, not be really thinking so much about,
you know, the peace corps worry about getting a piece.
Of that Fijian Pete, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, he was underrating that big time.
Yeah, I think so.
Just kind of like I felt like while he was on the call,
he was trying to talk himself into the other thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, but he was like, this side was clearly
like a car from The Fast and the Furious.
And this guy was kind of like looking at a Jeep.
But it gets good gas mileage.
It's like, come on, dude.
Yeah, he felt safer with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even though, but it's actually more
Risky to stay at the same gig and not mix it up and not take a chance. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah
Say I got one more if you guys want to take one more I have to dip it one I'm sorry
We could have done longer, but.
Yeah, I bet, that's my, guys, that's on me.
I got locked up.
Do you wanna ride back to your car?
Or do you like to walk?
I mean, I would, what do you guys think?
Should I get some sun or like?
I always opt for sun,
but if you wanna ride, ride the offers on the table.
I mean, what do you drive?
Ford Ranger.
All right, nevermind.
I'll walk.
Yeah, I'll walk.
That's right.
It's pretty.
I'll walk.
I'll walk.
Yeah, I'll get some sun.
John, thank you so much for coming on.
