I'm James. And I'm Barbara. And

the Hunts goes, Gus, I always get your own name. Why was that little girl so sad? Why don't you forget my name? What's my name? You just took rabbits to say who you are. I was waiting for the lower third to clear. That way we had a clean cut for the final version of this product. I don't know if you know that. It's called professionalism. Nah, I deaf. What?

He's looking at you. Look who you're talking to and how that person is presenting yourself. What is it? How old is that photo? I don't know, but it does remind me of the way someone tonight looks. Me?

Whoa! Oh my God! Up back, baby! Did you have a terrible beard accident? What happened? It fell off. It fell off. It happened.

Blue right off. I hear if you masturbate too much, your beard falls off. It looks good. How do you feel? It was weird. Last night I felt the heat from my chest against my neck and chin for the first time. Also, my kitten doesn't know who the hell I am. Would your cat hide in your beard before? Like, you would crawl up in there and just like take a nap and... Yeah, he would like like rest you would make biscuits in him and all that. What is my question?

What did you do with the birds? The baby birds. Did you find them in new home? Throw up in them out. Oh, okay. So they're just being raised elsewhere not in your beard. Yeah, exactly. Check right.

Check is going crazy by the way. People can't believe you're new look. Should we get some thumbs up or thumbs down what people think? I'm crazy, by the way, people can't believe you're new look. Should we get some thumbs up or thumbs down what people think? Thumbs up, big thumbs up in terms. Well, thumbs middle. It was just too long to the point where it was like twice the size of a mask.

Like I could wear two masks and fully cover it or I could fold it sort of into its own mask, but I just got damn sick of it. It's probably thick too. So like just the density of it all was probably too much to handle. Yeah. Did you finally just end up getting rejected from ZZ Top so you were like,

I fuck at this point and keeping it? That was the final stroyer. Yeah. Well, welcome back, Gavin. It's good to see you again. It's good to recognize the person I'm staring at every week and talking to. I had, I did something, I did something at my

house over the weekend and we think about you Gavin. I was, I have some planners outside of my house and the plants that had been in them had died. So I was like, all right, I need to like dig them out and figure out what's going on in there and put some new plants in. Well, I went out there and you'll see while thinking about you in just a minute. I went out there and I started digging up the planters. They're pretty big. And I realized that I guess the reason the plants had died is they weren't draining water anymore.

So this giant planter was filled with this really goopy thick mud and the water had probably been standing in there for several weeks of not a couple of months at this point. So when I started digging it out, it smelled like either open sewer or hot garbage. And I just started gagging. It was like one of the worst smells I've ever smelled in my life,

just the stagnant water in this goopy black mud. And it's all hot, too. Yeah, and it was like a hundred degrees outside while I was doing it. And I was just like scooping it out and like trying not to breathe it in. I'm like, like gagging as I'm getting out the giant planners. And it's still, like it's still out there. Like I took all of the dirt out to try to get it

to like dry in my front yard. And it's still wet. It's still mud out there. It's been out there for like two days now. And it's just like black, softened wet mud. It's disgusting. It's crazy what standing world. Also, I love that you associate like,

stinking gamy mess that makes you gag with me. That's what I was waiting for, the connection there. Yeah. No, Gavin, Gavin has a very sensitive gag reflex. And I figure if you were anywhere near me while that was happening, you probably would have thought. He's the go-to for when stuff like that happens, of what you think about.

When I lived, go ahead. I had another trash story, which is, I'm definitely not equally as gross, but I don't know who the fuck does this, and I wanna find this motherfucker and ask them what they did it, because it was so mean, but our trash got emptied last week,

and then it rained here. And because the trash got emptied before we could take our bins back, the bin filled with water. And I guess someone later that day was walking their dog and decided to bag up their shit and put it in our empty water filled trash can. So there was just shit floating in water in a hot garbage can that we had already had

emptied from the trash people. So now we don't know what to do with this shit. We just have a bag of shit. And it's what to do with this shit. We just have a bad shit. And we also miscarved this week. It's just been a catastrophe. Yeah, you just make a delicious cocktail out of the water, then you put the shit back in there. How do you feel about a passer by leaving their dog poop in your trash? Are you guys protected with your trash?

I'm fine with it. I'm okay with it. If the trash has not been collected yet, if it's literally an hour after the trash was collected and you're putting your dog shit in my now empty, clean trash bin, then I have a problem with it. Yeah, but how do they know if it's been taken on us? It's just the first.

They're opening it for sure. It's gonna be open. Yeah, it's gonna, I mean, we don't have trash bins, but like when I walk Benson or whatever, there's a bunch of houses that do. And generally when the trash has come, it's an open bin, because the machine lifts it up and then slams it down, and it's just like an open empty bin.

But that's the only time that you can do like the fade away jumper with it. Yeah, so. I would totally find with it, because I don't want people leaving their dog shit. I'm fine with any time. It doesn't matter if my garbage has just been picked up or not. Well, so you want that dog shit? I would rather it be bagged up in my trash can rather than left in my yard. I think it's well, it also depends on where your trash cans are. Like, our

yours always outside because we store ours in an indoor area where other things are always outside. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's Traverse in chat, too. It was it's empty and full of water and you're literally just throwing your shit in there. Like what? That's that's fucked up. That's the extra fucked up part the fact that it's filled with water because then you have to empty it You can't just leave your trash can't filled with water, but you right It's like if we dump it out then the bag of poop is just on the floor. And now we're littering because we dumped our trash can out. But surely the most the most time, the most frequently you've seen shit has been in war. It's true.

Yeah, but then you normally you flush it. This you have to pick it back up off the ground and put it back in the trash can. It's also so much. It's someone else's dog. It's someone else's dog. It's their responsibility to take care of. And they just might work for you. To me, you close the lady you move on with your life. You just use that's just that's what's the opposite

of paying something forward. That's just you go, I'm sorry, maybe you put a note and you go, I'm really sorry to the trash collectors or whatever I go, I'm sorry, there's some water and then someone threw some shit in here, but I try to get as much out as possible. I don't know why bins seem to be fair game. Like that's my bin, that's the bin I pay for. Get your little grubby eyes off it. It's fun.

It's trash. Well, I would rather the trash be in the can than not in the can. What do you want here? I think it's still fine. Speaking as one without a bin, speaking as one without a bin, like I, speaking as one without a bin, like you don't always know that there's gonna be a bin

that you can return to as stupid as it sounds. Like we have a dumpster that's outside of our building, but sometimes it's unavailable. And so like honestly, there are times where I'm panicking walking down the street with Bentham's poop, going like, how am I gonna dispose of this? And then I'll see like half a mile down the road. There's a bin. And then we have to divert to go to the bin

because like, there's not like a ton of public trash cans that I can just throw dog poop into. So I guess like my issue is if you're walking your dog, you're likely nearby your residence. walking your dog, you're likely nearby your residence. And if you're close enough, why not just have the poop and throw it out at your own trash can? Also, it's not like we're the only house in a five mile radius. Like there's other houses, there's other trash cans,

there's other trash bins, and for some reason, ours filled with water was the one that came to us. But were you the last to bring your bin in? Maybe that's why. I don't think so. It was like an hour under. You put a target on your back. You might be a lazy bin bringer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a lazy bin bringer. I do hate lazy bin bringers. I get really mad about that when I see people, when it's like the next day and the bins are still out there, it's like, pick it up, just take it in. What's your problem? I keep having the same problem where about once every three months,

the bin truck will steal my bin. And then I don't have one for a week. That seems wrong. And I watch it on security, get lifted up by the machine and just dropped into the bin, into the big truck, and then they just drive off with it every time. And I got a call up, be like,

can I have my bin back and then I'll deliver you another one? You got a wait a week, so I got a week without a bin, then you, can I have my bin back and I'll you know to live you another one You got a weight a week so got a week without a bin then it arrives then it'll get nicked again. I'm sick of it It's a fresh bin though. No, I'm not fresh feeling someone else is gammie old bin Or something so you get like a more mingin bin than you had before this new one's got sludge in it So I've had my been the the star result bin before this well-caven. Yeah, do you have my poop in? Some of my neighbors, who I live, they all have each other's,

we can contact each other. I don't get into the specifics, but a couple of weeks ago, one of my neighbors contacted a group of us that live in this area and was like, hey, my trash can's missing after trash day. Does anyone have it? In my mind, I'm like, you idiot.

It probably just got taken by the truck. And then like three minutes later, one of my other neighbors replied, like, oh yeah, we've got it. The trash people lifted it our place. Like, who the fuck? Who the fuck? You had an extra bin and was like, this is fine.

I'm gonna keep it. They don't return it or just, why don't they just leave it out on the street? What did they, they're like, this is fine, I'm gonna keep it. Who knows, they don't return it or just, why don't they just leave it out on the street? What do they, they're like, oh, I guess I have an extra bin now, I'm gonna take it in when my regular trash, like I was so baffled at the thought process here. Yeah, if I had an extra one, I would not wheel in. Sorry. No.

Yeah. No, it's okay, I interrupted you on that one. This happened, I've had a lot of garbage bin and recycle bin issues One of which somehow our neighbor and us our recycle bins got completely swapped at one point Like I brought it in and realized it had like his address on it and not ours And I was like oh how that happened the problem is our neighbor Throws out just everything, not washed out, not rinsed out,

like everything just into the bin, like empty beer bottles, empty containers and stuff like that. So it fucking reeks. And recycling? Yeah, there's a recycling bin. It's just full of gamy food and it's terrible. And we had to like figure out how to heist our bin back. We wait until they're both out, come out right after their cycle truck comes and swap them again.

Otherwise, it's such an awkward conversation. This is the same neighbor by the way who has the dog piss. It's all making sense now. It is what it's like to be an adult. I was gonna say, never has it been more obvious that times are tough. I was, you were talking about walking Benson, and we talked about Benning Dog poo earlier. Before we started the podcast, I was out, I had to let my dogs out, and I was watching them. And you love them? Yeah, I let the dogs out. Okay. And

I was watching Oswald and Oswald pooped. And I was starting to wonder. I was like, he also all poops. He's a tiny dog. He poops a lot. And I started wondering. I was like, does he poop more than 50% of the time that I take him out? Then I started thinking, I should keep a spreadsheet and I should keep track of how often he poops at what time of day he poops. And then I started thinking, I should make shit stats for him. I should have a little scale outside

so that I can weigh how much he shits in a week and I could figure out, because I started wondering, does he shit more than his body weight in a week? Oh, that's interesting. Like how long it takes for him to shit his entire weight. Right. So it's like, I want to buy a scale now

so that I can weigh the dog bags after I pick up after him. And I can see how long does it take him to shit his own body weight, which is like 13 pounds. You need to add another statistic, which is how much weight he consumes. Oh, that's true. You need to see in versus out, right? Well, you know shit is mostly blood, right?

It's not the truth. Like your shit is mostly blood. It's like dead cells, yeah. It's like we're just going to need to send it more. But I feel like that information, while great, you know, I'm a big proponent of shit stats been going on about it for years. However, we need a benchmark and you need to be also

measuring your own shit so that we know how dogs compare to humans in terms of shitting themselves. I feel like humans are so inconsistent though with their shit. Some people shit once or three times a day, some people shit once every three days. There's no-

But I would argue if we looked at pure volume, it works out the same. Volume. Similarly, I would say similarly, like it works out the same. So you may be like, well, one of those people that like, I use a bathroom three times a day. Just the other person who goes, once a month, that's it. I mean, I feel the bull, but once a month. Look at Master Shit. But I think if you compared the stats, you would see that the proportions are the same. Mm. Well, now we need to figure it out.

People aren't just manifesting. We need science on our side. Yeah. Well, I think you also have to measure, like you're talking about the inverses out. Like how is our certain bodies more efficient than other bodies at processing the food that's taken in? Yeah, yeah.

But then I guess you yours also talking about, like is it dead cells that are being expunged? Are some bodies shedding more cells than other bodies? See, this is what we need spreadsheets for. And we need a good toilet. There's something I need to understand is how you could take a shit sometimes so big that you wonder how it fit in your body,

but not only that, but how it actually came out of your butthole, which is like that small. And it all works. No, it ain't. No, it ain't. It ain't. I think someone in chat who is an RT broadcast official just called it shits, shits, tis-ticks.

Shits, it's a mouthful. That's a mouthful. Yeah, that's a. I'm gonnaits, tis-tiks. It's a mouthful. That's a mouthful. Yeah, that's a- I'm gonna go, I'm gonna lay my claim and say that the anus is arguably one of the most versatile, most important parts of the human body. I'm gonna go top three, brain, okay?

I'm always agree with that. Anus. Oh, number two, wow. Number two. Very good. And number three would probably be like the eye or something like that. You've listed the top three like two being anus, but mouth not on that. The whole reason you need the anus is because of your mouth. Well, it's because there's so many other things that can easily bypass the mouth. The mouth is an important for drinking. It's just a whole, sure.

So I guess like the stomach. Guys, I know your butt hole expands when you poo. I know that. I know it doesn't stay this small. Don't worry. I'm just, I'm going to help. I'm just, I'm going to help. I'm going to help.

I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. I'm going to help. like when you're doing Play-Doh, it's all spaghetti. And there's different attachments for different spirals. Oh, star.

I feel like, what is the stretch or ratio of the anus? At resting, you know, you have like the rest of the whole trait and your exercise rate. Well, we know it can be trained. We know that. Yeah, but it's like the full, is it like a one to two? Like, does it double in width, or radius?

Well, diameter. It's a, I don't know. I'm getting a little confused over the toes. But it's right, it could be either radius or diameter. I think it's got at least double. Probably. Is it like, what's that animal? Is it a mouse or something that could squeeze

through a certain type, like certain size hole? Like that's, I don't know. I've heard an octopus can open a jar in your anus. Yeah, from the inside out. What are you, what do you mean you heard that? Where do you hear that? What have you been reading? Politically, I think it was right.

Anus part, probably honest. That was right. Aynas Pot. Probably others. That was a bright bar the other day and there was a real great exposure, exposing about it. Ain't no loving octopuses. What was going on with octopuses? Octopodides. Octopacy.

Aren't they both acceptable? Octopuses and octopi. I think so. Octopuses and octopi? Octopu? Oral of octopus. That's the how we know we're in the modern age. It used to be things were very strict, and it took a lot of people rallying together to push something over.

But now we're in the phase where it's like, well, technically, it should be cactus, cacti, but it's fine, cactuses. Cormatically speaking, the plural for octopus is octopuses. As the Merriam Webster dictionary points out, people use three different terms, however. Octopi, octopuses, and octopodes. While octopi is become popular in modern usage, it's wrong. OK.

It's wrong. The dictionary is like, you know, honestly, but who cares? Yeah, it's not what I mean. You're the dictionary. You're the huge to be telling us, I have no dog in the fight. You're the dictionary. This episode of the received podcast is brought to you by ExpressVPN. You eat when you use the bathroom, you always close the door behind you, right?

What happened? You know, we're pretty good about cleaning the house and making sure we don't let bugs in and like closing the doors when we open them right away and all that stuff, and we spray the house. Do you think most bugs come in the door? No, but I'm saying like, you know, if you're opening the door to bring something in, there might be stuff flying around that could come inside.

Like, especially night. Yeah, a night. Sure. And so last night, as we're just getting into bed, Trevor looks up and he goes, oh, God damn it. And I was like, what? And I look up. There was a massive fucking cockroach

crawling over our ceiling. It's got to be like that big, at least. It's fucking huge. And that's my worst nightmare. Because those things are fast, and they're big, and hard to kill, and crunchy, and disgusting. How high was the ceiling, Barbara? Like, how far away was it? It's very, very high ceiling.

So you can't even get to it. You can't even stand on the bed to get to it. Like, it's very high up. So what did you do about it? Did you throw a shoe? So we were panicking. He's like, go grab a bowl from downstairs because like, if we get it down, it's gonna be fast

and it's big, so we need a big bowl. I was downstairs panicking and like, couldn't find one except a big, huge, heavy glass one which was like, I don't want this being thrown all over the room trying to catch cockroach. And so I was like, oh, what if I get the vacuum and we somehow get it on the floor somewhere and we vacuum it up, because it can't get out of there.

And so I bring the vacuum in, give it to Trevor. Trevor's like, all right, we're gonna try this. He takes a shirt, throws it at the ceiling. Somehow the cockroach perfectly comes down exactly where it was hit. Like usually if you hit a bug off the ceiling. Somehow the cockroach perfectly comes down exactly where it was hit. Like usually if you hit a bug off the ceiling, who knows where it goes? Fly somewhere, skitters across whatever. It falls down, he grabs the vacuum, scoops it up into the vacuum, and we're like, is it in there? Is it in there? I don't know. I don't see

it. And we're like freaking out. I'm freaking out because I hate bugs. And luckily we're like looking around the vacuum. And I had just enough hair still in the vacuum that the hair wrapped around so quickly it strangled this thing to death. Oh my god. It choked it out. It choked it out like immediately. It was just like instantly dead wrapped in hair really tightly in the vacuum. And I was scared that this thing was somehow going to reanimate or come back to life. So I got Trevor put a Ziploc bag at the other end and elastic banded around. Because I was just, I was terrified it was going to crawl right back out there and like rip open the plastic bag. Yeah, just it would be like, it would be the one cockroach that's into like auto erotic asphyxiation. It'd be like, I love it.

I feel like the next cockroach I see, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna try to choke it out. I have it. It's in there. Oh, it's still in there? You probably can't see it too well. Oh, I see it. I know, I see it. Yeah. But that cockroach went from its warm in here to I'm dying in the worst possible way a cockroach could ever die. Because most cockroaches, their fate is generally, I exist and then a foot hit some and then they don't exist anymore.

Right. But in this case, it was like, oh my God, what's happening to me? Where am I going? It's all dark. Oh, wait, there I can see. Something's around me. It's getting tighter. I can't breathe.

I didn't even realize cockroaches' breath. Please help me. I sent a picture to Eric of when I tried to take closer up, but it's still a little hard to see. I don't know if he wants to try that. Why did you go to the trouble of... There it is. Zip blocking the other end of the...

And Ham. And Nanny Ham. She viewed that as a threat. Listen man, it was like one in the morning, I was already really exhausted, and then the adrenaline was just running through my veins. We get it. You don't have to keep zooming in on it. Stop. Stop.

It's like the room that they keep the whole kid on that avenges a big flying thing. You can see it's two and four of its six arms or whatever were clasped together in prayer, begging for a swift death, but it was not. It looks like he died with his wrists tied together on his knees. Yeah. Yeah. God, are you still going? Listen, the iPhone takes incredible photo. I was going to say that's getting detailed. What a zoom. I thought I did much Thanks, they're right. We really appreciate it, but I know people in the chatter like it seems like overkill Of course it is. I'm being overly dramatic. This is just what we did. It was scary I'm terrified of these things and dead now. It's gone. It's off the stream for everyone watching I know we have a lot of people are saying in chat that they're not looking at it. It's gone

It's not on the screen. If this happens again, hopefully it doesn't, for all cockroaches out there, hopefully it doesn't happen again. But if it does happen again, just have Trevor dress up as a lady cockroach and then try and lure it to wherever you need it to go and then whisk it outside. I will say, I'll Strangle it with your bare hands. You'll be there with the trick wire. And then I will say. I will say. I think I've got a cockroach having lungs and a windpipe. What did it show?

Agent 47, you have a new target. After he killed it, though, I don't think like we have a very, I love Trevor more than anything in the world. I don't think I've ever loved him more than in that moment, right? I'm just like, you did this for me. It's gone. I don't even have to think about it. You're so brave.

He's saying it. So, gentlemen, if you want to wait to a lady's heart, just kill bucks for her. Well, I was going to say, Trevor hasn't slept a wink since this happened. It's a trauma. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees that cockroach praying. This episode of Received Podcast is brought to you by Mint Mobile.

Puzzles. Well, there's puzzles, but I feel like recently there was a craze where, you know, people were making sourdough bread, right? I feel like you always heard about that. People were making sourdough stars and people. How was I month one and two, I think? Let me tell you. Pickles are the new sourdough. You doing your pickling?

I am. Do you see them? They're over there. Can you get a what? So what you you bought some cucumbers and just put them in a jar of vinegar? I mean, that's all it is, right? So I don't know if you can see it. I there's a label on it.

It says a great pickle experiment. Number one. Okay. All right. I I don't know if you can see it. There's a label on it. It says great pickle experiment number one. Okay. All right. I need a burp. You want to see if we hear it? Yep. I want to hear it. Oh, I didn't make any noise. Yeah. So if you don't bump it, does it explode? Yes. That's awesome. Oh, it's stinky. So the reason we started to do this was, was it yesterday or the day before, maybe a Saturday, I was looking for something to watch, because you know, that's the other thing you do to kill time when you're stuck at home.

And there's that Seth Rogen movie that came out an American pickle, anybody else watching? Or am I the only one? At least I watched most of it, like maybe about half. Okay, so, you know, the basic premise is that this dude in like, from 100 years ago gets pickled and then in modern day, he comes out of the vat and it's like a dude from the past living in current times and it's Seth Rogen plays the old dude

and the great grandson. Anyway, in that movie, the dude from like 100 years ago talks about making pickles with just salt and water. And I was like, I thought you needed vinegar. So I looked it up and apparently that's the the dude from like a hundred years ago talks about making pickles with just salt and water And I was like I thought you needed vinegar So I looked it up and apparently that's the way people used to make pickles was with just salt and water no vinegar I was like, oh, well that seems really easy. There's some dumbass from a hundred years ago can do it. I can do it So I decided to make the old away from like a hundred years ago with just salt and water and no vinegar so That's gonna taste like shit.

What? It's a pickle. They said it's gonna taste like a wet salty cucumber. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna like it, Gus. I think it's gonna taste like a salty cucumber. I mean, there's something to be said for, you know, if this is how they did it a hundred years ago, we've made excellent strides since then, but if it was able they did it a hundred years ago, we've made excellent strides since then,

but if it was able to be done a hundred years ago, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the best version of the finished product. Well, it'll be a version, and we're going to find out in nine days. So what does it smell like if it doesn't smell like vinegar? It's got dill, and I put some garlic in it, so it smells like garlic. It's really vinegar is a very vital ingredient to the pickle taste.

To me that is the pickle. Oh, it's the catalyst. It's the catalyst. You have to put something with some kind of leaf with tannins in it in order to keep the pickle crispy and they say you can either use grape leaves, oak leaves, miskeet leaves or tea leaves. So I put some black tea leaves in there to make it. Well, if you need any shit poo water. Let me know.

I got some to lunch. Listen, I'm going to make you guys. You guys are going to be jealous. You're going to want to eat my pickles. I'm going to be selling them $15 a pickle at store.ruisty.com. We're going to have beacon clon pickle. We're going to start you thing. It's right over there.

Limited edition, Gus Pickles, from the Great Pickle Experiment, number one. Preorder now I Think I'm gonna make I'm gonna stop pickles as well, and I'm gonna make a much superior pickle You can only use English cucumber, so can we pickle off? I'm quite you guys Pickle off a pickle off my favorite dragon ball Z character

pick a lot of pickle off my favorite dragon balls E character. Gus will do it with with salt and water and garlic. Gavin, you're going to do it with vinegar. Barbara, what kind of pickles are you going to make? I'm going to make garbage, shit water pickles. Shit water pickles. Popper, I'm going to buy pickles from the store. I'm sorry. I'm going to use a, I'll find a very unconventional method.

James, did you say you're buying them from the store? Yeah, but I'm just gonna pour that bottle into something that looks like Gus's, and then I'm gonna serve them, and then we're gonna go around and see who wasted the most time. But see, ultimately, ultimately, that's what's important during quarantine. It's all about wasting time.

Is there any time? There are so many hours in the day? What are you gonna do? I'm gonna make pickles and I'm gonna watch the bubbles form in that pickle jar and that's my entertainment for the next six months until we get a vaccine. I want to explode a pickle jar and somehow film it in slow motion.

I think the downside there is that I'll have to film a pickle jar for like weeks on end. Yeah, that's a lot of footage. Like a thousand frames a second. Oh my god. I totally agree. I totally agree. But it'll be.

I don't really understand what you were doing. I thought you just wanted to explode an existing store bought pickle jar and I was like, why would that take so long? You just explode. No, because Gus was talking about burping them. And I think that would also set the record for the most photographed pickle of all time.

Oh absolutely. So I think that's a double win. Well, except it wouldn't be a pickle the whole time. Oh, well, it would be a pickle by the time. When is a pickle a pickle? When does it officially become a pickle? Can we say it definitely? The next day, it's a pickle. You think, after one day in the jar, it's a pickle.

Those are cucumbers still. You don't think you would taste the difference to be not in a cucumber? No, as I'm saying, those are cucumbers. I'm guarantee you, that's still tastes more cucumber than pickles. I think when you eat it, I think Gavin's right. I think it's going to taste like a watery salty cucumber. I think the vinegar is probably a very necessary taste that you're needing. Because you hate cucumbers.

In the movie, those pickles were very popular. So if the movie told me anything, it's that people want pickles like that. The movie features a man who survives for 100 years in a abandoned factory because he was surrounded by pickled juice. That kind of pickled juice. Yeah, so, I mean, if you were in there, I think

you'd have a better chance of having good pickles. Just whatever you do, once it's ready, don't spill it in your Tesla. Are you going to go for any other Pickled products on you? Yeah, once this was just an experiment, obviously with the name, the great pickle experiment number one. Once I learned from this one, then, yeah, do some onions, some jalapenos, I don't know, some carrots, some other stuff. You should try pickling things that aren't typically pickled. Cake. That's good. Sure. Like a banana. Well, while try banana, do you, in the peel or out of the peel? Out of the peel. Out of the peel. Okay, pickled banana. We'll try that.

Maybe for you. Barbara, you send me a list of we'll try that. I'm gonna make it for you. Barbara, you send me a list of stuff you want pickled. I'm gonna make a list right now. Barbara's pickles. Okay. I'm gonna, maybe like a pickled Snickers or something. Yeah, I was gonna say a pickled Oreo, but it a stirs me.

Snickers, I'll put an Oreo in here for Barbara. I don't want them to share the same jaw though, if possible. Oh, obviously not. You have a very very very distinct pickling Yeah, my dark actually be at least like an like 10 feet away from Gavin's jar. That would be great Can I also get a live webcam feed so I can check on the progress? Maybe I'll have to work on that. I don't have that ready. I don't have that man I'll see what I can figure James. Would you like me to add anything for you in my pickle jar?

Yeah milk. I want to know I want figure. James, would you like me to add anything for you in my pickle jar? Yeah, milk. I want you to pickle some milk. Pickled, pickled milk, all right? Yeah, maybe figure that out. Sorry. I feel like that's just taking existing pickle juice and then pouring milk into it. You could try and combine.

It can't combine, right? We wanted to pickle the milk. Right. We don't want to just stir the two liquids together. So you're going to have to figure We want it to pickle the milk. Right. You don't want to just stir the two liquids together. So you're gonna have to figure out a way to have the milk in a container that is also Pickleable. Right. It's like permeable so the pickling process can happen. But the pickling through osmosis, yeah, the pickle, the milk needs to stay in there and get pickled. Yeah. We'll be interesting. We'll figure it out.

You know how, there's, well, in the UK anyway, there's the milkman who just drives around, delivering milk at like 6 a.m. every morning to everyone. Do you, is that a thing here, anywhere, or is that just not in Austin? I'm sure you could find like small businesses that'll do that, like very cheap businesses feel like that that's that's like old like the people that really need milk delivered anymore People aren't as big on milk, but

They I feel like there should be a coffee man who just drives around with just regular coffees and just leaves them on everyone's doorstep If you sort of opt in I think that's a big business idea sort of opt in. I think that's a big business idea. I think I would I would drink coffee that just arrived on my floor every morning. If it was your floor, what would it be? Would it be the right temperature? How could you possibly maintain the appropriate temperature of coffee for an entire trip? Yeah, they managed to keep they managed to keep milk cold. The milk man. I don't know what that they did.

The reason is, I think it was sealed at six in the morning, and it's just still cold when you've got to get it usually. But, I mean, they would still deliver in the summer. It's fine. Milk can sit out for a while. You know what, I want to bring back, and if we did bring it back,

I want to be an angel investor, or I can't afford to be an angel investor and anything. Maybe I'll just work for it. But one of those guys who brought ice around, he had the big claw and he would get a giant cube and he'd go, here's your ice for the month. What is the clock to hold it? Yeah, because it's cold. Yeah, have you not seen ice men?

No. hold it. Yeah, because it's yeah, they would have you not seen ice men they have to these giant it's basically they have a handle and it has a giant claw on it and then they hook the ice in and then that's how they carry it and they don't like putting it in a metal foundry or something. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. I want to bring that back. So what was the purpose was that just because ice was more rare? Yeah, well, because there was no refrigeration. It didn't exist So the only thing you had was a yeah box and here you go all right time to fill up your ice box And he just slide that big old Cuba ice in there and then that's where you I guess the only way to store and transport ice Back in the day was just to have a lot of ice

By fall, you were able to carry it Yeah, when I was a kid So, yeah, by following you, you were able to carry it. When I was a kid, I lived, I grew up in a really kind of small town out in the middle of nowhere. And there was this service where once every two weeks, I think, this freezer truck would come by and do home deliveries. And you'd come by and you'd be like, do you want to buy anything from the freezer truck? And you'd be like, oh, I want ice cream or chicken fried steak or like whatever. Like the shwan's man. The shwan's man.

It was the shwan's delivery. I don't know if that was the thing everywhere. Or if like I was just some weirdo who had that. I have a great shwan's man story. Do you? I do. Yeah. I mean, I always remember it as a kid.

The shwan's man coming, but it was like, why would you? Why would you order? It was like all over priced.ed, but it's like, but you would still always get the catalog. Shwan's Man catalog, what do I write? I wrestled a couple of you talking about. I wrestled in high school and 90% of wrestling is starving yourself to make weight.

And I would be so hungry that instead of, And I would be so hungry that instead of, you know, like an actual teenager looking at Playboy magazines or like pornography or whatever, I would take the shwan's catalog up to my room, lie on my bed, and I would flip through it and then circle with a marker the things that I wanted to eat when the season would go. I would look at it the same way kids look at like lingerie catalogs. And I would try to, and I'd be like, chalk a cake, and I'd circle it. And at the end of the season, I would go through it and I would try to find all the items that I want.

I was like, the order all this was like, drooling between the pages. Yeah. Oh, I didn't drool because I was so dehydrated, but I was doing whatever. But you'll have to do that. Pecs, man. Mm, yeah. Dude, that's so, I didn't know that about you.

That's sad. That makes me sad to think of like a little James just starving himself to wrestle. Yeah, yeah. It was, yeah, I was, you know, it taught me a lot about, it actually changed my relationship with food in a lot of ways and You still circle things in catalogs. No, I have a less healthy relationship

We don't talk anymore. I'd also shwan's man. I guess it's gone. I don't think it exists anymore according to the chat Gay Millhouse says Tucker Carlson is the is the shwan's air is that true? Really Carlson is the shwan's air. Is that true? Is it really Carlson shwan's? I thought you said that. How can you be an heir of something that would have had to have gone bankrupt? How long have we got? Oh, apparently it's true. According to Eric and Chat, he's confirming it for us. Really?

Wow. Wow. Okay. I'm not interested in shwan's now. He's even more rich than I thought. Yeah, I don't like it as much. That guy, that guy, Tucker Carson, that guy is like a full blown moron. He's one of the dumbest people I think to ever appear in any sort of media. Well, he's got me to compete with. And me just throwing that out there.

He's he's really smart when you think about the fact that he's super rich. And all he ever does is try to appeal to people who don't have money and think that they like really angry people in the, you know, what a middle America or whatever, you know. Like he's smart in the sense that he is a sociopath or whatever you want to call it. There apparently was a video put out. I didn't get to watch it yet, but it was trending on Twitter of Ben Shapiro reading the lyrics to that new song from,

who was it? Megan thee Stallion and is it Nicki Minaj or no? I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song.

I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think that's a really good song. I think is one of the funniest things ever because Ben Shapiro is such a little shit. Imagine it being 2020 and getting upset by lyrics of a song. But by saying that I heard this song accidentally and it offended me. Oh yeah. I knew to listen to a song accidentally.

Yeah, yeah. But it blows my mind that we're still dealing with people that go like, this song is bad. I'm like, no, we've moved past that. We got out of that with poison or whatever in the 80s, twisted sister. Like we've determined that it is. It's fine.

There are definitely, I don't know how to put it. There are definitely people with very strong views about that. Like when I was a kid, I thought the premise of the movie, Footloose, was ludicrous, right? I thought there's no way that anyone could ever think like that. There's no way that something like that could ever happen. But I think back, what is it two years ago now, after AOC won her congressional seat,

and there was that group of people who tried to make a scandal out of the fact that she was in a video dancing when she was in college. And like they released this music video where it's like, oh look at her. She was dancing and this music video in college. Like, do you think this is going to make people angry? Like is this really what you grasped at? And this scandal fun? Yeah.

This is the standard you're running with a woman dancing. Like, how's it been fun in my 2020? Yeah, this is the standard you're running with a woman dancing It wasn't even like a provocative dancer anything like she was just on a roof spinning around and this is this is what you grasp that Hey guys make sure to strike this from my record. Oh No, don't run for office. This can really come back to haunt me don't run for office It's not gonna be the shit discussion from earlier the fact that I'm gonna go to the clock range. What was it so it's gonna be the dancing? There are some things in 2020 where it's like, man, still dealing with that.

But do you think there's anything that is way too far beyond where we are? Like something that shouldn't have been invented until like 2050, but we have now. Do you use anything we like, I can't believe this is real. Yeah, every day, I've got it right here. Hold on.

This thing. Yeah, I thought you were gonna pull out your dick. I really do. I mean, that thing's real. It's got some 2050 BDE going on, but this thing. I mean, I'm still amazed by the fact, why the things that we can do with smartphones. Yeah, I feel like to me, it was when I first used Wi-Fi and I was typing on MSN on a laptop in my bed.

I was like, this is magic. But we'd already landed on the moon like four decades earlier. So really not overly impressive when you think about that. Well, earlier in the podcast, Gus, half-heartedly mocked people from 100 years ago for their ability to make pickles poorly and said if they can do it, he can do it. I mean, it was only a few thousand years before that where they were like, let's figure out the pyramids. Let's figure that out. It's true.

Like these massive constructions that I would like to see Gus try. That could be my new quarantine thing. Gus builds the pyramids. You think I can do it? It builds the pyramids before the end of the year. No, I don't think so. I just wonder if the astronauts that went to the moon, I mean obviously they were excited to go to the moon

and they were like doing some hard work up there on the moon. But I wonder if any point while still on the moon, they just had a sudden realization where it's just like, this is way beyond our planet's capabilities. We shouldn't be stood on the moon. We should just be looking at the moon. It's crazy for the 60s. I'm sure that the time they're like, we're not, you know, we don't know if we're going to make it. We know we're like, all of this has just been, you know, theoretical. I mean, sure, I guess like Apollo, they did one pass around the moon where they didn't actually land before they landed.

But when they're in the landing module, they're like, no, it's done this. I mean, they wrote down some math on a paper back, you know, a couple hundred thousand miles in that direction. And the math on the paper says that this is going to work. But what if someone did the math around? Like do you think movies like Apollo 13 is a much better movie because you know it's real? Like do you think if that was a completely fictional story that movie would still be as good? Yeah, I don't know. I guess there is that element of, you know, the human spirit and people

coming. Like you watch a movie sometimes you're like, well that wouldn't have really happened that way right? Or it's like, that doesn't seem very realistic. Like, I feel like the bit in that movie where they have to switch the thing that they're in, and then they have to modify the carbon dioxide filter from the other one to work with this one. And how they figure that all out with people, like using replica products on Earth, I thought that like, I don't think you could write that

if you were writing a movie, but the fact that they had to quickly do that, I was like, that is incredible. Holy shit. That is also a great scene where the scientist comes into that room in NASA and he like dumps all the gear onto the table. He says, I need you to make this fit into this

using only that. Yeah. And then like trying to think of, they have a copy of everything they have up there, but they're also like, well, they're gonna have to let you use one of their socks for this bit And it's like it's crazy. I love that movie It's really great. Paul and 13. I want to rewatch that. I'm talking right before the podcast about like the Comfort of rewatching things that you know what's gonna happen in it or let you

Yeah, I already know you enjoy just with all this uncertainty and anxiety going on. And I think James, you were talking about that, right? Yeah, yeah. We're just, the feeling with Netflix and so many of these options and stuff is like, oh, you should always be watching. There's so much to watch,

you should always be consuming something new or finishing that show you started or whatever, like at least when I have these lists of movies we haven't watched that we want to. But more recently, we've been like, no, screw it. Let's watch something that we know is good that we've seen maybe a hundred times. So like last night, we put on Adam's family values. Adam's family values. And we were like, haven't seen that in a while.

No, it's great. Let's put it on. And we were watching it just laughing because it's great. It's perfect. We know it's great. Little pubert. Yeah, pubert. Yeah. Let's put it on and we were watching it just laughing because it's great. It's perfect. You like to know it's great. Little puba. Yeah, puba, yeah.

The puba disappeared. He got wiped off the Adam's family canon, by the way. I don't think he showed up in that other movie. Sometimes he's in only values. People don't remember about puba. That's a shame. It's a real shame. Puberty gift.

I'm definitely a serial re-watcher of things. Like I would much prefer to put on a movie that I've seen a million times than think about starting a new one sometimes. Like I have to be in the right mood for a new movie or TV show, I think. I'm more often than not. Just like I just want to put on something that I know I'll already enjoy. Even if I've seen it like- Yeah, I feel that way. Even if I've got stuff like good movies have come out,

and it's like, it's time to watch them. It's like, yeah, let's watch a new movie. Yeah, unless you're in the right mindset, I'm probably gonna stick on Basekipbull or something. Yeah, we're live island for us. Oh, love us. We're all five people. People in chat are saying that,

I don't know which is correct or not. People in chat are saying that Tucker Carlson might actually be the heir to Swanson's, not Schwans. Oh. Oh, okay. Which, my make-up was since. I can order my frozen pizzas or whatever. Yeah.

Okay. But it's funny, you were saying that thing about watching older movies. I watched that pickle movie, you know, over the weekend. And then after it was done, I was like, I want to watch something else. Yeah, that was like 90 minutes long. And I wanted to watch something that I'd seen before. So like I was scrolling around and I saw like, Jaws was available on streaming.

I was like, oh, I probably haven't seen Jaws in 20 years, right? You know, the movie that created the summer blockbusters and you know, summer movies being a thing. So I went back and rewatched it. Totally great movie. And the thing I took away from it, though, like I said, I haven't watched it in a long time. The thing I took away from it, though, is I could not shake the feeling that the first half of that, how applicable the first half of that

movie is to the current situation we find ourselves with the mayor. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's like the experts and the scientists are telling you there is a danger out there. You need to do something right now to protect the people But the politicians say no, don't worry about it. It's fine. Everything's okay Let the people continue to live their lives and then all the shit hits the fan And I was like well, I mean this was kind of a good escape still But now I can't help but feel like it's just an allegory for what we're going through right now And except now we can't go get on a boat and shoot the coronavirus in the mouth. Spoiler for the end of Jaws.

Yeah. Wouldn't that be a great way to end this all though? Just shoot in the middle of the house. We just say smile. You're so good. Shhh. Black. Black like a doze.

If you added together all of the physical mass of the coronavirus how much space would it take up? two jaws to Shot to shot me that it's a virus probably not a lot of physical space God, so you one of those people who thinks it's called jaws because that's the name of the shock Yeah, of course absolutely that's the name of the shot. It's jaws. Oh, no That's it's in the second movie. It's jaws to because they killed jaws in the first movie. So then what do you get? It's the second jaws. It's jaws to that's the shark. Uh-huh. Sure thing. Why do they why do they call the third one jaws 3d?

Listen, we don't have time for that discourse right now. There was a girl in my high school whose nickname was jaws. Just gonna put that out there. There was a girl in my high school whose nickname was JAWS. She's gonna put that out there. Could you get three D's in there? No. She just was very JAWS-y while doing certain things, if you know I'm saying. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, what is that?

Is that eating a pickle? Yes. She liked pickles? Oh, okay. Well, that doesn't seem so bad. It doesn't seem like she deserved that nickname at all. This episode of The Receive Podcast is brought to you by Lumen Skin. I got a pretty busy routine.

Do you have a thing that you remember from like being a child where your parents' generation would universally complain about the same thing all the time? For me, it was I feel like every one of my parents' generation would complain about how early Christmas decorations showed up in shops. It was like beginning of October, all of the old people

be like, can't believe it. It's getting early each year. It's Christmas decorations up. It's not even Halloween yet. Dude, put it down for a while. That's been like a constant throughout my life. Do you have anything like that? Yeah, that's a good question.

I feel like if I thought about it for a while, I would definitely come up with something. I feel like every generation complains. It's something we already kind of talked about. That music is getting launched here, and that the next generation is going to, is no good in not working, and doesn't adhere to the same values as the previous generation,

and they're going to run the world into the ground. When in reality, it's the old people doing it. Yeah. I mean, we're going to, I think there is a technological divide though that we're gonna have to deal with at some point because like that Christmas stuff is the same thing as, boy, this is sure is fun watching the pickles burp, right? Like, yes, because people had time and nothing better going on. We are overloaded with stimulus right now and I feel like the kind of stuff we're gonna say is like,

those TikToks are too short. I can't, like I cannot convey my memes in only 15 seconds, it's not enough time. Like that's what, but the younger generations are gonna go, get out of here old man. Six seconds is plenty to meme, you know, like that's what it's gonna be. 240 frames or less. Yeah.

Oh, complaining that I have nothing to complain about. I have nothing to complain. I try not to. I do, I actually do the assessment a lot where I go, am I just becoming an old man? Because I don't, I don't ever want to be the kind of person that looks on to the next generation and goes to, and shakes his fist.

Like, because that's how it always goes, and I would hate to be that stereotype. I'm jealous of our next generation. Like, I guess it would be Gen Z is the one below us. I'm so jealous of them. They're so creative, so funny. And also, I don't remember anyone I knew when I was like 14 or 15 being that good looking.

And now all the kids who are that age, somehow are like, they're all super models. And they're all like so well dressed and they know how to do their makeup from the age of like nine. And I just, I don't understand how it happened, but I'm so jealous that that wasn't my generation. Yeah, I think they have more information to gain.

Like I think they're learning more. I think younger generations have access to more information. And it sucks because the educational system isn't probably what at least in America isn't what it should be. But the good thing is that there's a whole other world of education that they're pulling from. That being said, the ice caps are melting,

so they'll have nothing left. They're gonna be incredibly smart, super creative, just stunning, but they're all going to be dead because of heat death. I just feel like the Gen Z stuff, the Gen Z stuff you were talking about Barbara is mainly because it's easier to create and post stuff for that generation. True, yeah. Like, like, you used to make videos, but it involved, like, you had to upload it and then post it on a website that, you know, and edit it, yeah.

Yeah, it's like, now the tools are, like, at their fingertips. And also that, that generation grew up using these social media platforms. And so, like, what do we say? Greatest thing from the future. It's true. I like that it's it's never compared to a pocket watch.

Well, I feel like you should have a chain for your iPhone. So you can let pop in a pocket like in a school pocket watch. That would do. Do they not have that like a case that you can put on or like at the bottom, there's like a loop you can attach a chain to. And this is in a big circle that opens up. I like the concept of the pocket watch and chain because it in and of itself is like failure.

Like, what's it like? It feels like that at the time of the pocket watch, the ability to put it somewhere better existed. Like to mount it to yourself it somewhere better existed. Like to mount it to yourself better. Yeah, the risks exist like leather straps, like all these things existed beforehand, but no one put it together or at least there was some loan holdout who said, or watch on my wrist.

No, thank you. I'll keep it in my pocket. Except every single time he turned leaned at more than 85 degrees it fell out and onto the ground. So he was like, aha, I know how to overcome this problem by chaining it to my body. It is. Yeah. Well, not only chaining it to his body, but then putting the middle cover over the glass so that when you never, it does fall out. The glass don't shatter. It is, it is the culmination of so many failures. Are there any wrist watches that have the metal cover just for like old time's sake?

We should really don't want to scuff it. Do you mean some, some, some, some, some make a pocket watch? Like I said in the Apple watch, like the Apple Pocket watch and it'll cost like $30,000. You have to buy like a special clip to clip it on too. It's like an extra feature that you have to buy. That would be the doucheous thing that could ever be invented in our entire lifetime.

And the Apple Pocket watch on a new day. And they would do that. They sell gangbusters. In like three years from now watching this moment on the podcast, we're like, that's so fucking dumb. All of us are gonna have it. Every single one of us.

You got Johnny Ive with his little chain of watch. It's like that podcast we posted. I wanna say in 2012 maybe where we were talking about what's the word for a picture of yourself and I think one person said selfie and we're like, that's fucking stupid. That's not gonna catch on. What is that?

And then, Yeah, I remember misunderstanding like the etymology of selfie because it was talking about like phone stuff. I thought it was like a cell phone, ee. Like that kind of stuff. But not like yourself, so I was super confused. I never thought of it that way.

That's really stupid, Gavin. Yeah, it's dumb. But it was the first time I heard selfie. Yeah. It's crazy how much it took off since then. Yeah, does anyone else feel like if someone, if this like only generally ever happens at RTX or something like that, but like when someone's like, Hey, can we take a selfie? You're like, but I'm

going to be in it too. So it will not be the greatest is when someone asked if I could take a selfie of you. And I was like, well, then it's that's just a picture of me. That's picture of me using the worst camera. I just like the idea of James of you just trying to like remain loyal to the word and like ducking out of everyone's selfies. Yeah, yeah. Is just that. I go, I go, you get back in line. You come up and you ask for an usby. That's what I want. A weeby. A weeby. Yeah. Oh, I like that. That's a good one. Yeah, I don't know. You should trademark that barber Yeah, hey, could I a Gavin big fan? Do you mind if I get a wee bee with you? Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let's do it Yes, let's do it. Would you like even more people in this wee bee? Yeah, because we can put as many as we want There is no limit on we it's true. Yes We could take a selfie on the moon? We mean, I don't know. I, so I was speaking of the moon and speaking of photos on the moon. I, I guess, thinking about it now, I guess I was a little shit when I was a kid, but we, it wasn't some sort of science class

or something, and we were discussing the moon landing and landing on the moon when I was probably 10 or something like that, and the teacher showed us like photos of it and stuff. They were like, a Neil Armstrong, he was the first man on the moon, and I was like, then who's holding the camera? I don't think it's shot that. I feel like they must have said something out there to go film that, right?

And they're like, I don't know. But I know that they were being nice because the right answer is probably a poll or like something that wouldn't be exposed to the lack of atmosphere in space. That was the time, I guess, where everyone on Earth had had that picture taken by Neil Armstrong. Right, because he was in a photo for the entire world. Well, not everyone. Why, everyone? Maybe. People on the other side?

Yeah. I mean, that's still photo of the whole earth. Yeah, I guess that's true. I like moonrovers as a concept. Sorry, I got you off. I was moving on to moonrovers. I like moonrovers as a concept because human beings got to the moon and they said,

I'm not walking. Yeah. You kidding me? We drove all the way up here. Thank you. Yeah, build me a car. We flew in that is the crater. We flew in that is the crater.

We flew in that is the crater. We flew in that is the crater. We flew in that is the crater. We flew in that is the crater. We flew in that is the crater. We flew in that is the crater. We That's like the person that parks at the closest base to the gym. I mean, no one parks the gym anymore because gyms are close, but like, like, you're like, you're going to the gym. Why do you have to park close? Ever should we park away?

You don't want to work out before you work out though. Yeah, warm up. It's cool up. I, yeah, that's nice because then you get a little bit of yeah, it's like cool down to walking back out to your car You know just get right in and drive home. I mean, it's like rainy or something. Do I miss the gym? What kind of a question is that? I don't know what you've done like in the in the meantime like have you set up anything at your place or do you have like access to any equipment at all? at your place or do you have access to any equipment at all? When things started looking like they were getting real bad. So end of February, I would say, is when we was like,

hmm, something's going to happen here. This is not going to be resolved as quickly as we think. And I, at least was buying supplies. At least we were going to get to the paper. We're going to get supplies. We're going to get things that we need in case things get real bad. And I said, uh-huh, and I bought a pull-up bar. The kind that you can put in a doorway,

I basically bought a pull-up bar in resistance bands. And I have only had access to that since March. As someone who has never used or owned a pull-up bar, the only times I've seen them are in videos where people like pull them down into their own faces. Has that ever happened to you? No, it's weird. It's a physics thing. Somehow pull-up bars are, they can't, you have to really do something wrong with it. I feel like the doorframe has them fall. Because your wayframe is like, yeah, your weight puts pressure on the brace point.

So the doorframe will have to go. Yeah, but doorframes should theoretically and it's safely built home be one of the strongest sections of the home, so it shouldn't collapse. So you'd really have to do something wrong for it to fall. But like people that swing on it, as soon as that, as soon as that downward force stops existing, then it does become more vulnerable.

So, but I don't know. Yeah, I don't know how many, how people pull them down so much. I feel like maybe the cheap ones that you kind of like shower cut and rod between a door frame. Oh, yeah. They don't, they don't stay in place. Yeah. The one I have is like, it's a wedge.

So like it has like a hook that goes around and that attaches to the the door, the top of the door on the other side and then it sweeps around and has these things that attach to the door frame on the inside. So those those when you pull down on it push together and basically create like a sandwich effect. Do you have any entertainment going like have you like glued an iPad to the top of your pull-up so you can watch shit while you're up there? No, I do I have Surface go and so I will sometimes put like music or like a YouTube video on the surface go But I mean we are we are in a one-bedroom at least and I so I Will just be in the hallway that leads to our bedroom

Like and she's just sitting there watching a movie. And so then I'll just have the surface go or something on the coffee table in front of me because that's where the space is. And I'll be like, all right, I'm gonna be doing pushups for the next 45 minutes. And then she puts headphones on and has to bear with my grunts for that time.

Tough like living in a smaller space with both of you. I've been wondering how that's been for people living in small spaces. Yeah, I mean, it's been tough. I don't think it's not because of each other. Honestly, the working from home thing is the hardest because this is our kitchen. We're in our kitchen right now.

So like, we were talking earlier before we started, Gustav's like, what's that noise? I was like, at least throwing away trash is too big away from me. Our kitchen trash can is right there. Like we don't have anywhere else to put stuff in. And then since we also make content together, it's tough because we're not far enough away

that we can have headphones. So we like, we'll use Discord to communicate, but we have to mute each other on Discord and then do like the off-ear thing to be able to hear each other. Oh, yeah. And then so like there's a lot of weird things and if she's ever needed to film something, then I can't do something at the same time or one of us will have to like go sit on the toilet with a laptop to take a meeting. But those aren't burdens that we put on each other. It's just the problem that I'm in. It's a little space. Yeah. Yeah, I was wondering what you guys were doing, especially for working out, because I know

you guys are very fitness focused. Have you heard about or picked up the ring fit at all? I haven't. They've sold out crazy. I managed to find one on Amazon pretty recently pretty recently, like it within the last month. So I don't know if you've checked there. I was pretty, I don't know if it was more expensive than what it normally costs it.

I think it was like $120 for the whole thing. That might have been more expensive. Do you feel like it works? Oh, dude, it's, I'm in a really stupid predicament where I broke my toe, walking past a table, and my toe got hooked on it. And it's been like unusable for the last two weeks, I guess, because it's broken. It'll take four to six weeks to heal.

But there's like, you could customize a workout plan, you could do the game. There's like so many different options. And like, you get a fucking good workout from it. It targets all the muscles, and they have different workouts for each muscle group and stuff like that, too. You'd be surprised how much you could do with that ring thing, my mom. The big thing that kills me is that going to the gym was like my therapeutic like escape. Like I was the kind of person who generally would go on my lunch break because our

office was pretty close to a gym and so I would go on my lunch break and work out. And it just allows you to break up your day and get away from things. And you can't have your computer right inches away and you just can't interact with things. It forces you to disconnect, focus on this other specific goal. And then you'll feel better afterwards because of endorphins or whatever. And then afterwards, you can then get back into your job.

And so it provides you that reprieve. But doing it here, it doesn't, I don't get that at all. It feels way more like work working out. But I just, I forced a routine on myself so that I have to keep it up. So I want to eventually find whatever that thing is where you actually enjoy working out. I'm not sure how much you have to work out before you get five weeks, five weeks. Five weeks is is is generally the estimate. If you go three times a week for about five weeks is when approximately your brain, most brains kick in and say, okay, this is something we'll release in Dorfens for. So every one is like five weeks away from being a

gym person, they just don't know it. From at least not thinking it's a miserable experience. Yeah. Well, that's why I say to a lot of people, they're like, I'm thinking about working out. And I will say, you know, everyone says start tomorrow. Why start next week when you can start tomorrow? I don't think tomorrow is a good time to start

if you're going on vacation in two weeks. Right, it's when you can be consistent about it. And how do you say that? I say the best time to start is when you have at least a five or six week runway of you knowing that you can do it consistently for that time, because that's when you're actually gonna break through into actually understanding what the purpose of this is.

It's not just gonna be torturing yourself for, you know, it's not gonna be misery after that. Because I don't even like, like Meg got into running, like she enjoys running. Mm-hmm. Just doing that. I don't think I'll ever be that person. And I sometimes like go for a run with her,

but it's like, I am miserable after like 10 minutes, just because it's like, I hate everything that's happening to my body right now. I love this year running. Every time I hear people who pick up running and they're like, I hated running, I hated doing it, I never liked it. And then I just like, try to be consistent about it.

And now I love it. And I try to think like, maybe that could be me someday if I just get really serious about it. And then I'm like, I fucking hate it. Every time I even try to run, I'm miserable. And I'm like, I never want to do this again. It's like when you drink too much and you're like, I'm never drinking again. I'm miserable and I'm like, I never want to do this again. It's like when you drink too much and you're like, I'm never drinking again, I'm done.

That's like me and running. I'm never trying this again. And so I don't know if those people are liars or if they're like, clearly into something that I can do. I think about alcoholics. That's the flip side of it, right? The writers are the cardio alcoholics.

They just get stopped at that first. I'm doing this all the time. Yeah, that first vendor, they still wait. They let All the time. Yeah, that first vendor they still way. Let it stop them. Yeah. Yeah. Don't be an alcoholic today or tomorrow. Start when you know you have five weeks that can totally ruin your life. When you can get shit face for 15 times over the course of five weeks, then you're set. Exactly. Yeah.

People in the chat, too, are saying give it five weeks for the running, too. But like, man, I even thinking about running a couple times a week for five weeks makes me sad. Here's the beauty of exercise. There's a lot of ways to get the benefits of it, right? There's like ring fit is exercise. And I don't run. But I have pretty okay cardio because of how I exercise in the ways I actually do. I love rowing.

I haven't been to a gym and I can't fit a rower here, but like, if I could, I would buy a rower because I love rowing. You can probably fit one in right between your chair and at least his chair. Just like right now. Maybe, yeah. It folds up and then it would go back down again. There's a guy. There's a guy that lives. There's a bunch of apartments around here and on his balcony is a

roer. So I'll see him out there, but it's the only thing that can fit on his balcony. He can't sit out there and like and like hang out or like talk on the phone or whatever. I mean, I would see that as a more functional. I mean, what what people, how much time have people spending on their balconies? Like, I often, at least, and I spend a lot of time on our balcony because we can't go out. Right. And we have no other space. It's like, I guess, I guess, if there's no like, easy backyard or pocket by, yeah. You guys, you guys walk Benson and stuff at least, right? Yeah, yeah. So like you get out.

Yeah, yeah. We go out to walk Benson and stuff, but I'm saying like in terms of just like in our living space, like escaping our living space. Yeah. It's crazy. I used to live in apartments that had no balcony or like outside area, and I felt so claustrophobic in there.

I can't imagine like, especially in places like New York City when everything was really bad, the people living in apartments that had, like the tiny 200 square foot apartment where you have no outdoor area or anything like that. And anywhere you go has access to other people. Like, that would, I powered to those people, man. I don't think I could handle that.

Well, they're also paying like $5,200 a month of rent so they can go to the coffee shop that they can see from their window, but it's closed. Yeah, they get none of the benefit. Yeah, that's what it is. So it's even worse. I'm a lot of people in chat on a balcony right now. I've been I've been trying to spend more time on my balcony. I think lately I've been spending between like 30, 45 minutes a day sitting outside. It's tough because it's so fucking hot right now. But I've been trying to make a conscious effort. We were talking before the podcast and one of the reasons that I was messy with my planners the other day

was I've been trying to get small things done around the house just to have like a sense of accomplishment. And one of the things that I got done was like cleaning up my patio, putting some furniture out there, and trying to make it like a nice space where I would want to sit down for a little while. So because I put all that work in, now I'm like, well, now I fucking have to sit out there. Otherwise, I did all that work for no reason. Yeah. Just because like I already invested the time, I invested money in a couple of chairs and a table out there out there I'm gonna fucking sit out there. Otherwise, I did all of that for nothing It is expensive to to enjoy an outdoor space like the in the one time

I had the like a backyard that I could use and sit out in it's so much money to furnish an outdoor area I guess because it has to survive the elements, But it just made me not want to have one. I was just like, I'm just going to sit and look out the window. Chairboard, I ended up buying when we started like putting furniture outside. We're like, let's just buy the cheapest stuff that's still comfortable. That way we could see how much we actually use this outdoor space

and eventually down the line a couple of years later get some like nicer outdoor furniture that we actually like and it's like we're not using that space much but I don't know if it's because the furniture says. It's just a bunch of inflatable chairs and things shaped like hands. Yeah, it wasn't a good reason for not using this space because it's uncomfortable. Yeah, so it's like what how do we fix this here? But no, Gus, I need to be better about that.

I think I've talked about it before. How I don't think I'm getting nearly enough sun as I should be. And I, I don't know if that's affecting my mental health. I actually, for the first time, I know I've like preached it a thousand times, especially I'm always open, but I finally signed up for therapy recently, because I realized that like, I, I thank you. I feel like I'm pretty strong mentally most of the time, but this I think is wearing on me more than I realized. And I was like, you know what? Let me just talk to someone, see even if just having that person to talk about my

problems too and give me advice or whatever it is helps in any way. So mm-hmm. Start it down that path. We'll see how it goes. I'm not sure if it's for me, but. I feel like you don't even need to wait until you have a problem. I feel like it's such a great idea to potentially just look at the way you live in a slightly different way.

Like obviously you can see and adapt to how your friends and family live. And it's like, you know, and then you sort of sculpt how you live. But you're never really immensely open to completely changing a mindset or any sort of trait until you talk to someone who does that professionally. Yeah, it was good to have that outside opinion.

I also started recently, Barbara. And it was interesting because it's like, like, I just want to like talk and bounce ideas off of someone and then like after a while, like it's to a point where like when I know the appointments coming up, I'm like, I don't even have, I feel like I have anything to talk about. I don't know what's going to, what we're going to, what am I going to talk about with this, this person for an hour? And then like the session comes and it's like an hour just flies by.

I was like, Oh, I guess I did. I did have a lot of shit to talk about. It's like, Oh, I just, I guess, what, like, you don't think about it, you just internalize everything. And then when there's someone there like pulling at the threads and making you question the decisions you make, it's like, oh, well, I guess I really need to dig into that

and I really need to think about that a lot more. And it's been an interesting experience so far. I've only been doing it a little over a month, I think. It's also just been nice. Like this morning, I was supposed to have a call and I, something came up so I had to cancel but he still messaged me and to be like, hey, I just want to check on you,

like making sure you're not putting too much pressure on yourself because like in our first session, I talked about like how I have issues with that and I put a lot of pressure on myself and I get down on myself a lot and I tend to take on too much for myself and other people and just having someone like remind you of that, who, and like, my friends and my relationship,

like people are great about supporting me and I feel like surely supported and loved in my life. But it's nice to have like a outside person who's not necessarily part of your life, remind you of those things. Yeah, it's just, I think everyone should try it at least some point. I'd say one thing too.

I mean, it's like if you are not feeling it, it might be the therapist. Like, I think the practice of therapy is, like, there is a therapist out there who will be the perfect fit, like the perfect shoe or a sisterhood of traveling pants. Like, and it's okay to say to it there, like to say, I'm not driving with this, not because therapy isn't for me, but because this therapist isn't for me. And it doesn't mean that they're a bad therapist or anything. It's just whatever they're kind of,

how they're vibing with you isn't the same vibe. And so I would say like, like you shouldn't just write it off if you go down the road with this person and you just don't feel like things are working, it might just be that there's someone else. I also, I also was doing therapy earlier this year and then had to stop because I can't afford this, which sucks. Yeah, but there are, I mean, there's other avenues you can go. I know there's, you know tell tell a therapy and stuff like that that you can do as well But it's also everything happened the world ended and then I was like I have other things that I guess I need to First which is maybe a bad I feel like it's also important to like find the right time for you to do it

Like I did a few before I went to work and and I would arrive at work, like completely exhausted, and it would be like 10 a.m. I'd be like, okay. I need to do these in the afternoon or something. Someone described it really interesting to be where, they said, going to therapy is almost like going in for a workout where during it, you will feel really exhausted and maybe in pain

or just stressed out, but then once it's over, you feel better, you could still feel exhausted and really kind of like burned out because of it because there's so much going on, it's such a mentally taxing and emotionally taxing experience. For some people, not everybody, I'm not trying to blanket statement what therapy is like, but that it could really be like a workout, but like in the end, it will be good for you to do. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I started doing it for something very specific.

And then I came away from it thinking, I should have just done this in general much earlier. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, I see people in chat are talking about it. And like, there are people in chat chatter actually being really nice to each other and some people are suggesting to each other that you can look through your insurance provider for people that maybe you can talk to

that are covered by your insurance, which I think is something that people maybe don't realize. I think some of the people here in chat didn't realize that until other people were pointing that out to them. So yeah, don't forget to check. You might have resources available to you through your insurance that can help match you up with someone make it make it much more affordable hopefully.

Yeah, my my mistake was that I was like I just want to test this out and then I found a therapist and I was like this this person is amazing. She's wonderful. She's amazing. I also really like meditation. I've always wanted to make meditation part of my routine and I am really bad at it. I need to be better but when I do it, I truly love it. And so that was also integrated into the therapy sessions. And I was like, I love this therapist, but she was expensive and not covered by health insurance. And so I did the math on how much it would cost to see her like twice a month for the whole year. And I was like, I can't afford that. And so it sucks.

But, you know, I need to do the work because I know that she isn't the only option. But. Yeah. Yeah. It kind of sucks. I wish it was easier to find someone. Because honestly, like, when you do go through your insurance,

I don't know about everyone's specific insurance. With our insurance, like, you go through this website and just like just having to sort through like all of these different people that I have no idea who I'm looking for. It's like just just like a giant list of names and phone numbers, like, then having to like dig through it and be like, who's the the right person to talk to? It's just kind of a pain in the ass. I didn't realize you could go through Richard Teeth for this, so I might revisit that idea. I just used BetterHelp, which for those of you looking for something kind of like quick, it's an app you get on your phone. There's a website for it.

You could do text chats. There's journaling you could do. It's like a whole online resource that you could use. You could set up phone calls, you could set up video calls, et cetera, with your therapist. You could sort through and read people's bios. And so you could pick a person or change your therapist whenever you feel like you need to. There's no pressure to stick with the person

that you're assigned to. But knowing that the company does it, I'm like, I have to revisit that. I found it honestly just nerve-wracking to get started because it's like a weird stigma around it that I think is getting better overall. But I was, yeah, I felt myself like, I kind of don't wanna tell people I'm doing it,

but I guess it's, people should know I'm doing it, it was weird. I just kind of like secretly started doing it, but then once I started, it was fine. But that's, I don't think there's, you should feel any pressure to tell people or not tell people, I think it's completely up to you, but I do think it's important

that people realize there shouldn't be a stigma around seeing a therapist or needing therapy or wanting therapy. Do you feel like that still is there? I feel like it's getting a lot better. I think there's still probably this idea that like, oh, I only need therapy if I'm depressed or I only need therapy if I've been through something really traumatic. And I don't think that's the case. I think it's more understanding how therapy could benefit really everybody. So I don't I guess not really much as stigma is just misunderstanding. I think there's there's a vibe to of it because it you know and a lot of ways it feels like it's a self improvement right. Ideally that's what it'll end up being is you working on yourself.

And I know for me when I started I was like okay well I'm not really going to a self-improvement, right? Ideally, that's what it'll end up being, is you working on yourself. And I know for me, when I started, I was like, okay, well, I'm not really gonna say anything or talk about this other than with the people I'm closest with, because it feels like that's like telling someone like, so I decided to write a novel, you know, like I've decided to embark on this, you know, project, and so, you so, but it's never gonna be done.

You're always gonna be able to improve yourself and be a better person and know yourself better. So it seems silly to think of it that way, but for me, that's how it felt. It was like, this is a project. And if I tell people this now, then I'm already getting the reward of having done it without having done it.

But then I also don't want, I don't want to add to the stigma that therapy is bad. So for me, it was a weird line to ride. But I guess that the misunderstood that looks this is, if you say to someone like, oh, I've started seeing a therapist, the instant thing is to go, oh, what's wrong or like what are you dealing with?

And it's like, well, that's not necessarily the reason you're going to So I think maybe that's the stigma that I'm thinking the human condition Someone through dog shit in my trash can and it was filled with water Floating hot wet dog shit is like all I want to do is murder Floating hot wet dog shit is like a part of you. And now all I want to do is murder. It's like ultimately, it's like, why are you seeing a therapist?

I'm seeing a therapist because over the course of several hundred thousand years, some animals learned how to cook meat on a fire and it made their brains bigger and it made them start thinking more. And now all you do is you have this giant organ that you move around through your fleshy body and it just never shuts up Those those early human beings spent most of their time around the fire Assuming that they were gonna close their eyes for two seconds and then be mulled by a bear Or rock was gonna fall on them or the sky was gonna open up and just

Eviscerate them in an instant and we still have those brains. So it's weird to think that we still have those brains right. You still have all those very primal thoughts kicking around inside your brain in this modern world with the dog shit. Yeah. You go and pick up your brain because as James James said it's in the top three of most of three organs along with the anglers and What was that? I I

The heart But we replace the heart we've we've managed to build Replacements for hearts and you can also basically take any large animals heart and throw it in your body I read I read Esther showed me this, this, this thing she read on red yesterday, I think it was, where someone talked about a person who, it was this woman, I want to say she was in her late 20s, who was tired, so she laid down to take a nap and she died. And when they did an autopsy on her, they realized that she had some condition where

her, some of her heart's muscle cells had started, instead of being replaced by heart muscle cells, it's been formed by fat cells. And like over time, more and more of her heart was being replaced by fat cells instead of heart muscle cells. And it got to a point where 50% of her heart was fat, just like fat. And it just couldn't pump anymore. Like the remaining muscle wasn't enough to power the whole heart. So like she just died because this had slowly taken over

and there was no way for them to realize that this was happening. And apparently it's like this super rare condition that can happen that obviously is fatal if you don't catch it. If you don't find a baboon heart to throw in there and try. That's a really unfortunate muscle to suddenly turn to fat. Yeah. That's like the tongue would be bad but you could probably live with it. You probably notice if your tongue cells were being replaced by fat cells pretty quickly.

Yeah. Why does everything taste so greasy? Yeah. And then. All right, well, it's, uh, it's about time for us to wrap up here. We gotta go so that, uh, we can have our next show, uh, take off here on RTTV. Uh, but I want to say thank you to everybody for watching.
