Mark Bell's Power Project - MBPP EP. 678 - Size DOES Matter & Unconditional Love Doesn't Exist

Episode Date: February 17, 2022

One of our favorite terrible shows is back, Love is Blind, and it got us talking about what "unconditional love" actually is and can it exist.

Oh, yeah. Are we on? Yeah, we are now. Well, I'm recording, so we can start whenever. You want to tell the people about this, Andrew? Yeah, go for it. Sandtrap. Flippity. Yeah, so actually it came, the idea came from, well well initially it came from us just not being able to get a fucking shot clock to work correctly this is probably like the third or fourth thing

that we've gotten that's gonna hopefully work but it was actually um jack schweitzer from schweitzerlin he texted me and i forgot to text him back two days ago he actually started a we've been going back and forth about random things, penis pumps, all kinds of good stuff. And he actually started a YouTube channel. He's like, hey, let me know what you think. And then so that was one of the products that he recommended. I'm like, dude, that's fucking genius. It's just a old school sand timer.

So we're using that as our shot clock for the podcast. Speaking of penis pumps, not that we make any money off of it but we have made a lot of money off of penis pumps we help sell over 150 000 dollars worth and i figured might as well share that on the air because i think it's awesome and that's not even in a very long time either and we haven't even really been talking about it that much but okay so this is the thing too guys if you guys go back to that penis pump video there is quite a few guys i saw they're like what penis pump video people are panicking right now how do i click on what i didn't watch that yeah that sounds dumb i popped up on my feet i skipped right over it it's not what i'm i'm not on youtube for that

information i don't need help with my dick so we started talking about penis pumps when susan susan came she sent us a few um and we noticed benefit at least i noticed the benefit for my dick y'all can tell me about yourselves i don't know but for my dick i noticed benefit but i went back to the comments and there were there were quite a few guys who purchased it and one guy was like yeah i got it um and initially i actually didn't see that much or there was nothing. And then it was like there was a lag time. And then it's like his dick just sprouted. Yeah, it had some positive change a little bit later. So there's a lot of benefit to that.

Actually, I need to go. I haven't pumped in about two weeks. So I need to go start pumping. I don't remember how in-depth we got with Leo about penises and penis length and everything. But a penis pump is not designed necessarily to make your dick bigger. I think that's what everybody thinks that it's supposed to do. And it can help that because it can help with some volume and help give you some girth and some fullness to your dick. But if you're somebody that's looking to get extra inches out of it, there's different ways of doing that.

And that's what Leo explained by hanging weights off of it.'s like a whole nother process bib hanger yeah like i don't know how into that you know how into shit people want to get but if you want your dick to be longer it seems like it takes a lot of work hey but this penis pump seems fairly easy to you yeah and that's what the uh like the other one where you put your dick and balls into the cylinder hey now the big cylinder because that's what it's supposed it simulates that stimulates it simulates that thing with like the bib hanger where it's like pulling everything out of the suspensory ligament yes that the ligament that you know keeps your thing up and down all that good stuff yeah so andrew we've mentioned this before but guys if you pump if you use a

penis pump um because you're you're pumping you're over pumping blood into your dick so you'll you'll be able to see how much blood your dick can handle it's impressive you'll be so excited for yourself you'll be like damn like i hold this power i have to like show people pictures of this or something it's like you have a new one of the infinity stone it even makes that sound too hey but real talk i did notice um when you know doing the freaky freaky like i'm just like whoa my dick handles more blood like because it does increase the amount of blood your dick is able to handle and it's which will have it end up being bigger yeah more more dangerous tell them how to get a penis pump just go to it's there's a link down in the description

as well as the podcast show notes um you guys will see it it'll it'll be like a bitly link um i forgot what number it is but it's like bitly slash power project one two or three forgot which 150 000 worth of penis pump that's fucking crazy that has to be a fucking record and like joel caplan yeah dr joel caplan he's living in some fucking castle but also that living like jk rollings and shit yeah i was i was talking to somebody from their company and they're just like holy shit thanks for like starting off 2022 for us on like the most positive note ever because that was only in like i mean i think they said it was just the first month so just in january ain't no shame we want to have better

dicks there ain't nothing wrong with it it's amazing but also it's like so i mean now everybody knows like you're not alone in this you know what i mean like there's a lot of other dudes that bought it just from like this podcast yeah so and especially guys that have been taking testosterone for years you get a little desensitized to stuff and your shit doesn't work quite the way that it does when you're younger just like you get older what do you mean what happens just taking a lot of testosterone for a long period of time can kind of uh just leave you not having the same sensations i mean kind of like just when you're you know when you're a teenager and the wind blows, you're like, yo, like, hey, what the fuck's going on, right?

Yeah. But I think, I mean, I don't know enough about the topic of testosterone, but I think in some way, I think, and you could like a pretty, they're not just doing like TRT. If they take it to an extreme, you start to see some aging going on. So I think that's what it does. I think it advances aging of your entire body a little bit. I know it's anti-aging because it can help you to stay strong for longer.

But if you're taking it in your 20s and you're abusing it, maybe it has the reverse effect. I don't know. And the next thing we do is now we get shots in our dicks. How about that? Y'all ready for that? Because I'm not.

I don't want to get a needle in my dick, man. And he uses the same needle for all three of us? I don't know. Y'all don't know what we're talking about. Andrew, what is the thing that we're talking about right now? This is almost like a PRP shot kind of thing, right? Yeah. But for your wang?

Yeah. Stem cells? I have not the slightest. I don't really know what it's about. But we are having Dr. Judson, sorry, doctor, on the show next week. And he's the one that actually is going to, if we do decide to get this done, he's going to be the one that performs it. And maybe we can do it live on air.

I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there okay i don't know just bring it under the desk i mean it'd be private i have a question for both you guys because i'm still like because i know he's willing to do it to us and i know it's good for our dicks but would you guys do it like because i have to learn a little i mean yeah yeah if he if he if he gave me a good story then maybe yeah i'd also probably want to talk to to some people that have done it before. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah.

I would like to get some history on this process. I just want to be put to sleep. I mean, he's a doctor. He's a dick doctor, right? Yeah. He should know what's going on. Yeah. Yeah.

So for the penis pumps, it's bit.ly slash powerproject1. So if you're listening to it and you don't want to go through all the drama of having to look up the show notes that's how that's where you go say one more time for the people so bit dot lee so bit dot ly slash power project one and you guys will get like the uh the best uh penis pump package that dr joel caplan has to get weird results of your penis pump sometimes too i I'm just looking at this Starbucks coffee cup and the wideness of this thing. It's quite girthy.

It kind of reminded me of something that happened to me. But anyway, as we were saying, you never know what's going to happen with your penis pump. My dad's got a good penis pump. That was a good one.

He was telling Seema and I, he'll have to share it. I don't want to throw his stuff out there. Do you know which one he got by any chance? If he got the one that we recommend? I think he got them all. I don't know. That was a good story. The people need to hear that. We'll see. We'll let him do it. Yeah, right? Yeah. What do we got today? What are we talking about? I already forgot. What are we talking about? I think we were talking about gaining some weight and being in a relationship and gaining weight. And then also you guys were talking about that reality show, Love is Blind. Season two. And how some people, when they find out who they're with, they're like, they don't quite look maybe the way that they are used to. Right.

And we want to kind of just, I guess, open, open up some dialogue towards, uh, you know, is that superficial? Is that wrong? Is that, I don't believe that it is. I believe that, you know, in order to, I mean, first of all, you know, the way that we meet people nowadays through, uh, apps and social media and stuff is, um – I don't want to say it's wrong. It's just different than what we've done in the past. Yeah. And I think if we're to think about evolution, natural selection, a male and female would be attracted to each other. female would be attracted to each other most likely uh in a way of a female would be attracted to a guy as a partner that would be good for reproduction you would like be like yeah that

guy can move well he looks strong he maybe he's sexy or however people put it nowadays has resources yeah has resources is well hung his twigig and berries hang down longer than the twigs that he has. Got a long neck. He could get right into those ovaries. Right. And so I think, you know, even from the beginning, I think there was some sort of attraction in terms of look. I heard somebody mentioning this more recently, and this is really odd.

But they said, and I didn't know how to think of this, didn't know how to take it. I just don't understand it. They said, we are getting better and better at being more attractive to one another. And I was like, oh, my God, that sounds so weird. But maybe better isn't the right word, but we're evolving. I mean, like, I guess look at like at Marilyn Monroe compared to Kim Kardashian, right? Compared to some of the people of the past that we looked at in the 50s or 60s as being attractive.

It's morphing and changing and turning into a different look. Bigger hips, bigger butts, those are more in, right? So I don't know. Maybe that's a good point, but it brings up something I think that's pretty interesting. It does, it does. And on that point that you're mentioning, what I do find really interesting though

is also how body types have changed through the decades. Like I think it was 70s and 80s, it was this very slim body type. On the woman's side, booty didn't matter that much. that much it was more so did you have a good bust 90s happened hip-hop happened um that that bled into pop culture and now it's like you want big booty big titties small waist like that's porn happened like it's just it's like it's morphed into exaggerated features of everything right and then there's a lot of people who are getting work done so that they can help exaggerate those features. But on the topic of superficiality, if that's even a word, and Love is Blind Season 2, I'm not going to go too deep into that.

But we were talking a little bit before the podcast. And if you guys haven't watched Love is Blind, you don't need to. It's trash reality TV. I watch it because my girl does. Actually, I watched Love is Blind season one before I met her. But anyway, season two. But you still got to blame it on her. You still got to blame it on her.

You watched season one to prepare to be with her now. Well, I watched season one with my ex. So it was like, as long as I chose to, stop it, guys. Come on. you watch season one to prepare to be with her now yeah well i watched season one of my ex so it was like something i chose to stop it guys come on um but if people go back whatever two years to the first season like that's all me and you talked about like every fucking episode hey you know what no but it does give you a good look into the way people look at each other. Because in love is blind season two, an interesting factor of this is that not everyone was hot.

Not everyone is hot in this season. Okay. So the premise of the show is that you guys do not see each other. The man and the woman who are talking pretty much interview each other and a wall is separating them. So you don't know what she looks like. She doesn't know what you look like and you talk. And if you guys like each other enough,

the man will then propose to the woman who he has never seen and then right after he proposes they go into a room and then they see each other and either they're like oh yeah she's so hot or they're like um maybe now this season it's it's a lot rougher again because not not everyone's like hot this isn't like reality tv hot they're all normal looking people right so it's really a gamble and what you're gonna get it's really a gamble it's kind of fucked up because it's rough it's rough you know it's even worse in the first episode in the first episode oh fuck man they show okay they made some articles about this but they showed um they they they had two women that were kind of overweight like i don't i don't mean to be mean but they're like you know 220 250 right right that's the only episode that they showed them in

they only they only showed like a little bit of them then they never showed them in any of the other episodes and there's an article that was put forward like love is blind season two fools people into thinking that there's acceptance of this god but it was more so just like kind of saying ah here you go yeah in inclusivity right. But yeah. It's kind of fucked. If you ain't 180, you ain't a lady. Oh my God. But yeah, it makes you wonder like when these people meet these other people, even though they had great conversation and great conversational chemistry, when they see each other and they're

not attracted to each other, does that make them superficial? Because that's a word they throw around. Or is it just facts? I don't find you attractive, so it doesn't matter what other chemistry we have. We can't continue this. I think, you know, first and foremost, it's reality TV, right? So all these, like, average people that they're pulling in, the real gem of the whole thing and what makes this show work, it sounds like, is the fact that they are average.

And a lot of times they're probably like quote unquote below average whatever that fucking average is yeah uh and they don't have any idea that's what that's what makes it awesome like william hung on american idol oh yeah singing and thinking that he's like people singing and thinking that they're good yeah um people singing their hearts out and like kind of knowing that they're not great or something is it's it's different. Right. Like you're not going to laugh as hard if someone's like, hey, man, like I'm going to try to belt this out. But like, I'm not that good. But if I came in and I'm really trying to sing and I believe in my heart that I'm good and I'm like, I'm good. Right, guys. And you guys are just you know, you're going to be laughing your ass off. So I think in this case of like, you know, a show like this, where these, these people

probably think they're exceptional and that they're deserving of these hot, exceptional people that they normally see on these shows. And then when they meet the person, they're like, oh, and it's like, well, this person isn't necessarily a really poor reflection. Uh, they're, they're, uh, reflecting you probably more so on a level that maybe you weren't expecting. You know, you're expecting something different. Yeah, absolutely.

And it's like a lot of times as a guy, we are more visually stimulated than women. It's not like women don't care about the looks of men. They do. But we tend to put that at a higher value assignment. So women get hit on all the time, too. Absolutely. They'll get a lot of compliments. I mean, you've got to look like our boy in SEMA over here to get compliments as a guy.

You've got to have some hard work out there. That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. We weren't on a walk and some lady's hollering from across the street from the gas station at you. That never happened. We've never seen anything like that happen. That's never happened to me.

The only time it happened was when I was walking next to you in SEMA. Then finally somebody wanted to talk to you, right Andrew? Yeah. So you see there's this Indian guy in this picture. Okay, him. He brought up a really interesting thing because he was in these pods talking to you know he was interviewing one of the girls who are trying to get to know

him and his question was so you know i'm really into djing and sometimes i go to music festivals um i like to sometimes you know put girls up on my shoulders so could i put you up on my shoulders at a music festival what can you lift and they're a hell of a woman that got offended by that question but at the end of the day i think that was a very tactful way of saying hey can i what are we working with i could squat two plates and are you going up on my shoulders or not right and this is the thing that i don't even think maybe he didn't need to put it that way he could have maneuvered but would i be able to farmer carry your ass

out of there if you got sick or something yeah like hey i dj a lot sometimes there's a lot of drinks if you pass out am i gonna be able to carry you out yeah what's the deal here okay but this is important that is not superficial it's like it's like you know what you are attracted to if okay he's not in the when you see him in the show he's in average shape right so is it wrong for him not want to not not to want to be with someone who is quite overweight and it's the same thing on the woman's side would a woman who's in average or good shape would it be wrong for her to not date a man who's overweight just even though that they get together or they they they get along with each other conversationally it's it's not superficial

it's just quite literally it's attraction And you were mentioning when people get into relationships. Yeah, they're signing up for something in particular. And maybe you signed up for a Tesla and you don't want that thing to turn into a diesel truck down the line. And people gain a lot of weight, you know, when they're in relationships. Sometimes somebody will gain. And it's totally understandable. And it's understandable to gain some weight together. It's also understandable.

There's like pregnancy. There's all kinds of things. There's families, deaths. There's all kinds of shit that happen in a family that can kind of just throw your lifestyle sideways for a while. And losing jobs and moving from one job to another, shifting households, moving in together. There's a lot of different things that can happen over a period of time. in together. There's a lot of different things that can happen over a period of time. But at the same time, I think it's each individual's job to try to be as attractive to the opposite, to try to be as attractive as they can be to their partner for as long as they possibly can

figure that out. Absolutely. It's honestly, I think it's a responsibility of each partner. You know what I mean? Like, because age happens. We all get old. Things start to sag in all types of ways. But at the end of the day,

are you taking care of yourself, number one, for yourself, for your health, so you can live as long as possible with this person? But also, there isn't a level

of taking care of yourself so that your partner still finds you attractive in a way. And you can't blame somebody for not finding you attractive if you end up getting really out of shape or build really bad habits. And that's why also in the show, a lot of people are throwing out the word unconditional love. Like they're saying, oh, I want someone to love me unconditionally, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Unconditional love isn't fucking real.

Like, you know what? Before I go, what do you guys think? You guys are two married men with children. For your wives, do you love them unconditionally? No, the only unconditional love I think you might have might be for your kid. And in that case, your love for them could be totally blind because they could literally kill somebody. And you would say, hey, I'm not for the act that you did.

That was a horrific crime. I don't know how your brain would fucking deal with any of that, but I'm just saying hypothetically. And then months would go by or a few years, and you'd still be like, hey, I will still help you. I still love you. I still care about, you know, you're, I don't know. There's, there's like a, there's like a thing there that you just can't deny you, you like fathered them or something, you know? So I don't know. I don't know if you can get out of that contract, but the contract of marriage, yeah,

it could be broken in a second. It can be broken with, um, you, you know, you have vows and then hopefully you can keep those vows. And if you don't keep those vows. Those are conditions. Those are conditions, right? Yeah. And if you can't keep those vows and maybe you can have conversations to figure out how you can continue if the vows were broken

or how to, you know, do something different. But I don't think you end up with like... I mean, it's... So with my wife, I should reframe some of this because she is the mother of my children. So I guess I would always love her no matter what.

Yeah, I would always love her no matter what, in that sense of her being a mom to my kids. But regardless of if she ever did anything or anything like that, I think I would have to, quote unquote, like divorce myself of that situation so that I can move on and figure out what's in the best interest of myself. But I'd still love her and I'd love the love that she has for my kids so that's that sort of thing and it sounds

complicated but it is complicated yeah i just think people don't understand like what it actually means when you say unconditional love myself included um because because the way i saw it before you guys broke it down this way was like there's no condition there's nothing that she has to do in order for me to love her like she she doesn't have to, like I don't have to come home to. She doesn't have to meet a certain expectation. Yes, I will love her with no condition. However, yeah, like, you know, I don't know, something bad happened. Like she's cheating on me or something.

I'll be like, ah, fuck. Like you said unconditionally. What if she just wasn't herself? Like what if she just totally flipped and just wasn't the same anymore i mean yeah i would have no idea might make it hard right uh-huh but so that's where i see like unconditional love and with that with the way i see it then like i have a lot of unconditional love for you guys you know like i don't i don't i'm gonna love you no matter like what but i'm also not gonna say even within sema yeah i'm not't, I'm going to love you no matter like what, but I'm also not going to say even within SEMA. Yeah.

I'm not going to say I'm only going to love in SEMA if he shows up on time. That's definitely not going to happen. But do you know what I mean? Like, but it also doesn't mean like, yeah, it's hard. Like I don't see it the other way.

The way Marcus explained it, where like, yeah, often SEMA, you know, I don't know, whatever, like deletes the entire like feed

of art or you know everything it'd be like just destroy it all but even then i probably still would love you but i'd be like what the fuck is your problem but yeah so that's how i see it you know with no conditions like you don't have to do anything for me to love you yeah i guess a sibling or something too like my brother did a lot of crazy fucked up stuff and, you know, I just, I guess I, I guess I just try to understand it more, you know? Okay. He, he was mentally ill, you know? And I try to maybe with another person, I would just be like, that person's a fucking idiot. You know what I mean? But he's my, he's, he was my brother. So it's something that I probably do have some unconditional love for. So I think there can be a little bit of that, but outside of your own family members, I don't know.

Yeah, parent to child, that makes absolute sense. I'm thinking that's like, you know, some people say that the only person who's going to give you unconditional love is your mother or your father. You know what I mean? Because the idea that people are seeking unconditional love, I think sometimes gives people the, when they want that, it gives people the idea that maybe they can do some bullshit and still be loved by somebody. Some people really do fall into that fairy tale trap. Because you see that type of shit in movies growing up as a kid. You see that stuff in media, in TV. You always see all of these people that get into relationships right and then the movie ends but then you don't see how everything continues you just see this

lovely thing and it's it's all whatever and the movie that that that's where the movie ends and then all the hard shit starts you know what i'm saying yeah you don't see when she says she's fine and he's like all right i'm not fine Isn't that fucking weird? Yeah, you don't see when she says she's fine. And he's like, all right. I'm not fine. I know you're enjoying this episode, but listen up. We partner with Merrick Health. They're a telehealth network owned by Derek for More Plates, More Dates. But literally, the amazing thing about Merrick Health and getting your labs done with them

is that when you get your labs done, you work with a client care coordinator that goes over your labs and gives you specific supplementation or nutrition protocols or potentially hormonal protocols for your levels. The problem with a lot of these other telehealth networks is that when they do these things, they give everybody the same exact things, which actually can hurt you long-term more than help you. Andrew, how can they get it? which actually can hurt you long-term more than help you. Andrew, how can they get it? Yes, that's over at MerrickHealth.com.

as the podcast show notes there's a show uh there's a show that's on tv right now if you know if you guys seen 1883 i've heard i know i don't even think i've heard of it that sounds it's really really good i think both you guys would like 1883. I've heard. No, I don't even think I've heard of it. That sounds familiar. It's really, really good. I think both you guys would like it. It's kind of got a Western feel to it. Tim McGraw is in it, and Tim McGraw actually is pretty jacked in. I think he's- Is this guy Tim McGraw?

No, that's Sam Elliott. Sam Elliott. Oh, okay. Anyway, Tim McGraw is one of the main characters, and his daughter is just absolutely gorgeous. She's riding around on this horse. She's got blonde hair flowing in the wind, and everybody's after her, like all the other guys. So they have to try to protect her. They're on a journey across from the East Coast towards the West Coast.

It's hundreds of years ago, and they have horses, and they got stagecoaches, and they don't have a lot of shit to, like, protect them. And they're just out there on these plains in, like, the middle of nowhere, like Nebraska and shit like that. And so his whole job all the time is to try to always protect his daughter. And then his daughter ends up meeting a guy that she starts to fall in love with. And Tim McGraw goes to the guy and he starts talking to him. The guy's super nervous

because he thinks Tim McGraw is going to kick his ass. And he just says, hey, he's like, I just want to know something. He goes, do you love her? And he goes, yep. He goes, yes, sir, I do. I love her. And he goes, just know that you'll never love her as much as I do and he just like stared at him and I was like holy shit like only a dad would kind of understand that I was like damn that was like now that guy knows if he fucks up he's in a lot of trouble and that's the kind of love I think we're talking about like that unconditional love where I mean shit you'll do anything I think for your kids sometime absolutely but you know

this is like the thing with you know relationships you can't expect your partner to be okay like for example if you get into something y'all have some really good war habits you know you don't get drunk or drink too much you take care of yourself you take care of your mental health whatever

and if something bad happens, which is tough because a lot of crazy things happen that turn people's life around like trauma, whatever. And then a bunch of bad things cascade, either the man or the woman. And you start drinking heavily to cope and you get out of the good things that you're dealing with. So you, you start gaining weight,

getting out of shape and just a bunch of things spiral. You can't expect the other person, right, who's, they can probably try to be there for a bit, but it's hard to expect that from anybody. I'm trying to, me personally, I'm trying to go the other way. I'm trying to like do things that I can, because for a long time I just figured I just, I'm like, I'm just going to keep working on me

because this works really well. Yeah. Like if I just, and it helped a lot with making the slingshot. And Andy and I worked together on all the projects and everything. But literally, focusing in and honing in on myself all the way to the point where for years and years, I didn't touch any dishes or laundry or nothing. I mean, I'm not like a total train wreck slob, but I'm pretty hard to clean up after. Like I make a fucking mess, you know?

You're a tornado. I'm a goddamn, yeah, I'm a goddamn tornado, but I'm not like leaving my socks on the ground all the time, that sort of thing. But I am making messes all over the place kind of all the time. I mean, you guys see sometimes with stuff in the gym or whatever. It's just my mind is in a different place. I'm, you guys see sometimes with stuff in the gym or whatever, just my mind is in a different place.

I'm not trying to leave a mess a lot of times, but more recently and over the last maybe two years or so, I'm like, I might as well just take a little extra step

to like, because I mean, from this point on, I'm not going to like necessarily get any better looking. I'm not going to like find the fountain of youth and be like younger.

I could lose weight. I could continue to stay in shape or I can continue to get leaner. There's a lot of things I can do physically to continue to improve on some of those fronts, but it's not like I'm going to look like I'm 25 anymore.

And so I'm like, well, let me just, there's these other areas I can improve on that I've waited a long time to really mess with and I should have been messing with them a long time ago. So now I'll try to start to do the and Andy's like what are you doing she'll she'll actually tell me she'll like just go to bed or go lay down like just oh she's like just go go relax like she wants me to just she wants me to still be creative she wants me to still do those kinds of things but

there's just little shit like just just the smallest things I mean it's it's literally just me kind of picking up after myself, which sounds so ridiculous. But I'm just thinking, well, shit, that will give her a little bit more energy. She doesn't have to worry about me as much. And then Jake being 18, we're trying to give him more responsibility. So maybe that's one less thing. But, I mean, I think that's what we should be working towards

is how do we continue to be more attractive to our significant other rather than just, I mean, we just accept all this stuff as we're going to gain weight together. We're going to grow old together and get fat. That's what people say, you know, and there's. I ain't trying to smash bellies. Or people are like, oh, man, you're going to get married. Like, you're not going to have sex ever again type thing. It's like, that doesn't need to smash bellies or people are like oh man you're going to get married like you're not going to have sex ever again type thing

it's like that's bullshit it doesn't need to be you know I woke my wife up in the middle of the night last night there you go

I'm like hey you know you're over 40 you can't waste a boner let's go let's go it's that damn penis pump yeah I know

let's go so you know things don't have to be the way that I think people make them sound and to enjoy each other doesn't mean you have to eat fucking french fries and pizza and ice cream all the time do you guys think it's a flaw that we do find you know i don't want to say that looks is the first

thing that we notice but it kind of is just because we see with our eyes and stuff do you think that it's inherently a flaw nah dude well mark do you want to go for well i'll just say like we had a guy come in today who was getting a job just to work in the store he's friends with josh setledge he's a wrestler kid came in looked fucking great it's like you're hired yeah i don't even need to fucking talk to you. I mean, first of all, he's friends with Jock Sledge. I was going to say that helps. The motherfucker's got like a big neck.

He's jacked and he was wearing nice shoes, nice clothes. I'm like, yeah, you're in. And maybe things shouldn't be that way. Maybe I should have asked him a lot of questions. But I don't know. I judge people a lot by how they look. I mean, that's all you get when you first kind of meet somebody. The way they position their bodies and their body English.

Like he was, you know, just right away, he was like, hey, how's it going? He shook my hand, looked me in the eyes, like just a little stuff. You know, it's not like he was like looking down. And I mean, somebody that's looking down that is shy, that has played video games for the last 10 years and hasn't seen sunlight in a long time, they're not going to be great for the store. Maybe they could work somewhere else here, but they wouldn't be a great person to try to have some sales in the store, right?

No, I don't think that's a flaw at all because when you're attracted to somebody, there are a lot of things I can go into attraction. But a lot of those things are like, hmm, the back of the mind, it's like, I wonder what kind of babies we'll make. Like, I mean, real talk. And this is kind of a weird thing. Like, for me, I like strong women. Like, and so. It's going gonna get weird yeah some weird compliments i've

given my girl are like damn you got some nice wrists or like wow like you enjoy you got some thick bones like it's real talk like i see that i'm like spread baby it's driving me crazy like like i'll compliment her back before i'm like oh look at your back look at those erectors oh because number one that gives me an idea you're going to grow old well you're not easily breakable right you're not going to deteriorate as time goes by but if these genetics transfer many things pop to my head easily breakable which i don't normally do like you're strong enough to push back but no having not a weak body and this is you know this is this is one thing that i found interesting i have a friend of mine i'm not gonna name his name but um in the past when he's seen certain women right he's like oh no she no, she looks too strong or whatever.

And I'm just like, it's probably because she's stronger than you. And you know when you see those comments from dudes online when there's a strong female doing stuff and they're like, oh, man. Like when we had Hunter here and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. But like, yeah. And they're like, oh, she has too much muscle. But like, yeah. Like, and they're like, Oh, uh, she, she, she, she has too much muscle. It looks like a man. Sometimes that statement isn't something you should say in the first place. Sometimes I may understand what somebody's saying, but a lot of guys say this,

even when women just have a bit of muscle, even when women just straight training, they, they, they have muscle. Like, that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing in the long run. And it's interesting because I think it's just like if the woman looks stronger than the man, they feel somewhat emasculated and they want to stay away from that. So I think that, no, I think having a standard on looks looks or the way somebody looks i think that's a very necessary thing i don't think it's a flaw yeah and i think the way you broke it down is extremely beneficial like i mean i know we're joking around but like yeah if you see somebody that's not in amazing shape but also it might mean that she doesn't have great habits you know like that sort of thing but i think where people go wrong is like,

they're only chasing somebody that looks like the, the hourglass right there. I've learned that. But that's it. And then personality, personality, personality. Damn.

They're just like, ah, overlook that. Cause she's got a big butt. Like, so I think that's where it can become a flaw. And I've made that mistake in the past too. So like that,

like I've made that mistake and I don too so like that like i've made that mistake and i don't make that mistake anymore but like it was a bad like that that that's a bad mistake to make as a dude like you can you can find someone very attractive or whatever but you really got to pay attention to that personality brother because again one of my fucking the long run one of my friends calls a devil pussy. Oh, yeah. That's perfect. Can't get away from it. I have dealt with some devil pussy.

You never make a deal with the devil. You know you're coming back. Oh, that's awesome. I'm sure it goes in the other direction, too. i think devil dick yeah yeah i'm sure i'm sure women that one got angry i like when he's laughing like that me too it's like falling off his desk i'm trying to write notes and i can't because i'm crying yeah nah ladies it doesn't matter how long his dick is if he's not good for you he's not good for you get away from him

fall into that pussy and you can't get out amen sometimes sometimes this happens but um yeah our initial topic though don't let yourself get out of shape in a relationship no but but really like, it is really necessary just to keep yourself healthy. And to find, I think I'm kind of lucky now because I've been able to find somebody that has really good health habits,

really good mental health habits, doesn't drink, doesn't club, right? This is just like, wow, this is good. Like the habits are in line and I like the way she looks. If somebody is like into something that you're pretty like opposite to, then I think that that's pretty, a pretty big red flag. I think that that's something you should like, just really

kind of check yourself on and be like, do I really want to be like, you mentioned like clubbing. Like I just, fuck man. Like I just, my wife and I, the amount of times we've been in a club that's loud, that's,

you know, like in the, you know, I mean maybe once or twice, like just cause we just ended up there with friends or something weird. But like, no, like that's not anything that I'm, and I just never been into that either. And she's never that's not anything that I'm, and I just

never been into that either. And she's never really been into that. I mean, she used to, she went to college and she was into like bar hopping and stuff like that. But I think we got some of those things out of our system when we were younger. And, but when people get together, I think it would be a good idea in general to try to work on shit together. Yeah. a good idea in general to try to work on shit together. You know, why, like, why have it be, why be in this battle against, I mean, no one wants

to be less attractive. Like, no one wants to feel less attractive. No one wants to face themselves in the mirror every day and be heavier than they were the day before or be more bloated from the foods that they ate or something. So it's like, maybe you can kind of set up some boundaries. Maybe you can talk to each other and figure out a plan. It's not like everyone needs to lose tons of weight. It's not like everybody has to go on this journey and everyone's got to be skinny or whatever. But what about just staying similar, stay attractive to each other?

My mother-in-law, I think, is an amazing example of this. I think she just turned like 74. And she's like, I was always the ugly duckling, which I don't think she was fucking beautiful when she was young. But she's like, I was always the ugly duckling. She's like, I just have stayed about similar for like 40 years. She's like, I haven't gotten any fatter. And she's actually thin. She's actually in good shape. She works out.

But she's kind of making a little bit of a joke of herself, joke about herself. But yeah, what's wrong with just staying similar body weight? Like what did you weigh coming out of high school? You know, hopefully you weren't, you know, real heavy coming out of high school. Can you stay similar to that? What were some of the activities you used to do in high school?

Can you still do some of those? Can you still go out and play a pickup game of basketball? I mean, maybe that would be a good idea if you can be able to do some of those things and stay attractive to one another rather than just figure out every Friday night to go out and party and drink. And then there's holidays and there's birthdays and just repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. And then you find yourself with just significant others sitting on the couch.

You're like, man, like I gotta go on a diet. They're like, I gotta go on a diet. All right, we're starting on Monday. All right, let's go get some ice cream because this is the last, you know, this is it. This is it. Last hurrah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like rather than that shit shit maybe you can kind

of keep things together and figure out a way to work on it together yeah i think it was i won't say who but somebody that was working here at one point was just like yeah if you look at anybody you went to high school with he's like just because you're like uh aware and you are conscious about your weight and stuff he's like you're gonna look better stuff, he's like, you're going to look better than everybody. He's like, I know for sure. I look better than all my classmates. And I just started laughing cause I,

I took, I, it was a joke, right? Like I didn't take him serious, but then I thought about it and kind of just what you said about your mother-in-law. It's like,

yeah, I mean, you know, everybody wants to lose weight or whatever, but if everyone's gaining weight and you stay the same, you can just pretend that you lost, you know, the 10 pounds.

If you look the way that, if you look the way that you look right now at 50, you know what I mean? That's fucking awesome. That's amazing. And you'll probably look better than you look now at 50. Yeah, I believe so. Fucking dope. Absolutely, yeah.

That's a very good point. You know, there's one thing I was going to say about what you're talking about as far as uh not like or doing stuff together or learning together as a team that's super important but i was there was something i was thinking about as dudes and this goes back to what you asked me andrew is it good that we uh we are so looks driven it's good but especially nowadays i think it's been taking to some it can be actually really bad because think about it you know number one probably watching quite a bit of porn as a young dude okay so you have these standards that you see that you beat your shit to a lot all the time and then there's your social media feed which you probably fall in a bunch of baddies that have these crazy wild

physiques. And now your level of what you find attractive is this super heightened, somewhat unrealistic thing, right? Which is out there and you can find it, but it's just like, it's, it's quite abnormal when you look at real bodies,

right? And as dudes, that's attractive. So now, let's say you find a chick and she is pretty good looking, but she doesn't look like these crazy unrealistic things that you see in porn on social. men who've like they've ruined their relationships because like they they they they stopped finding that attractive and then they started just trying to go for the crazy thing and it fucked up the great thing that they had so i think that's where devil pussy that's a big reason i don't have social media on my phone it's not like i have zero control over it it's not like i'm gonna like be zooming in on every chick's butt but i I don't want the temptation to even go through the process. I just am like, you know what?

It's not on my phone. I do have a separate phone that if I need to get to to communicate with people for podcasting, but I still find myself in a trap just like anybody else, scrolling, looking at shit that I shouldn't be looking at for sure. I don't have any problem admitting that. I think everyone's probably guilty of some of that. Maybe I shouldn't say everybody. A lot of people are probably guilty of that to some degree. It's an easy trap to fall in. And, uh, you know, I personally, I love my wife.

I'd rather just, I'd rather stay with that and stay like, uh, more focused on that. But you're right. When you see other images, I think your brain is poking around in some of the wrong spots. You know what I mean? Your brain, your mind, your body, it's not a great place to be. I think you're better off trying to, you don't have to, not everything has to be so strict or crisp or clean, but you don't want your mind really wandering too much. I think a little bit of it is going to happen to most people, but it's almost like just getting a lot of bad snacks and shitty food in the house. It's probably not great just to have that around. Not that you shouldn't be able to possess the ability to walk right past that shit too,

but it makes it a little easier if it's not right there, right? I just thought about, you got all this great whole food at home, but you're trying to seek all these processed snacks. That's right. And they're really processed. Oh, shit. With social media and all of the access that we have to viewing what we want to view, I think maybe that's what you had mentioned earlier in the podcast, how people are becoming more attractive to the, you know, because I think now. Social media speeds it up. Yeah.

So I think now it's like, oh, this chick who looks like this and does this type of workouts or whatever it may be. Damn, she has tons of likes. of workouts or whatever it may be look damn she has tons of likes if i can maybe follow somewhat of her workout program or whatever or dress the way she does color my hair the same way she does or you know like i mean fuck dude like i followed alpha m for so long and like that helped me with my fucking fits and everything oh for sure without him and without that access i'd probably still be wearing my fucking n1 shorts you know what i mean like i'd still be rocking like some filas and like i just wouldn't give a fuck but then i'm like wait like i can also not look like a bum and like be cool like fuck yeah i'm gonna do that but yeah it's a definite it's a definite trap well and there's girls that are you know my daughter's

age that look like they're 19 yeah you know yeah it's it's pretty crazy but i agree you know about like you know some of the stuff that we the idea that we're so attracted we're so attracted uh to just the looks in general can be massively can be massively problematic i think it is the first thing that you do go you do base off of, though. And so a show like Love is Blind is probably so interesting because it goes the opposite direction. You only get to know them

kind of like via words and stuff, as you guys are saying. I don't remember if I've ever seen the show. I must have seen the show. I feel like you must have seen some of season one with Andy. I remember you guys talked about it a lot. I know that she knows about it.

She'll probably know all about it. Guys, I know y'all are probably going to flame Andrew and I because we're in this together, Andrew. Yeah, no,

100%. You're going to flame us for watching this in the comments, but hey, just as a pure social experiment, you need to go watch Love is Blind season two.

Season two specifically. I think it's just, there's a lot of interesting things going on there. I think it's quite entertaining, so check it out yeah i i uh i mentioned on on twitter like i got fucking i got honeydicked by peacock that sounds funny when i just said it but the uh the streaming platform peacock yeah yeah yeah because

they they showed a bunch of cool commercials during the uh super bowl so i was like dude i want to check out bel-air it's like a hardcore Fresh Prince of Bel Air without the funny stuff. It's just more serious. Is it real? Yeah. So I watched the first episode and then I was like, dude, this is pretty good. And then it's like, oh, to watch episode two, you have to go to premium. And I'm like, I don't want to pay for another fucking streaming thing.

I need less anyways. But really good strategy. But yeah, and I'll just go watch Love is Blind on Netflix. That's ridiculous. Want to take us on out of here, Andrew? Yeah, sure thing. Thank you, everybody, for checking out today's episode. I know it was a little bit different than, I guess, when we talk about this shit all the time anyways.
