incredible Hulk thing I'm mad mad about catching up with my friend Tim how the
fuck are you doing really good we've got two crazy shirts on which I love for us
well my is not crazy crazy for me mine's crazy yeah if anyone's if anyone's um
watching a podcast which is becoming popular. Yeah.
Do you filming everything? I don't. It bothers me. Okay, let's
talk about it. Well, if I'm just listening to it, I'm not
thinking about what they're doing. Yep. I don't give a fuck
what they look like. Sure. All of a sudden, if I've got access
to the video, yes, I'm watching something like it's TV.
Here's the thing.
Why?
90% of people, yes, for every show.
But then there's the beautiful 10% of people
who want to see what's happening.
Yeah.
I want to deliver for those people.
Here's what we look like.
Get a load of this.
Here are the shirts we're wearing.
You guys, this is what I think.
No, I actually respect your choice.
It's your choice.
And this is what I've always said.
Mm hmm. Their body, their choice.
What do you tell the hairdresser when you go in?
Last time I went in there, I showed them a photo.
Yes. And I said, can I just get this again?
And they analyzed my balding head. Christiano.
And they said, oh, can't really do that one anymore.
The photo was too old. Oh, I know. balding head Christian and they said, can't really do that one anymore.
The photo was too old. Oh, I know I had a um, I, I, yeah, I had a haircut
where basically I was fitting it in amongst errands. I'd had a good day.
And I knew I could get a haircut on the way home. And I just actually I hadn't been doing errands. So I've been playing golf. It's an
errand of sorts. And I'd had a beer and a little bit of weed.
And I'll look out for the police if they're listening or watching.
I know it was it was illegal. I wouldn't do it again. Okay. But
basically on the way home, I was still operational. You know,
this is like while playing golf, time has passed.
I think I can get a haircut on the way back.
I go, I think I'm gonna get my regular barber,
I walk in and there's another guy,
and he's the regular barber is finishing a haircut
and there's no one in there.
Right.
I say hi to the regular barber
and I'm sitting on the chair.
Okay.
There's no one in there, five minutes hi to the regular barber and I'm sitting on the chair. Okay. There's no one in there. Five minutes passed.
He's just about to finish his haircut.
And then another guy comes out the back and he another barber
and he gestures towards his seat.
And I'm still feeling sort of like, I think I was so I wasn't feeling
confident enough in myself to say I'm waiting for the other guy.
Yeah.
So I just got up and went over
This is before I was filming something like the two days later. Yeah, so I in my head
I was like I'll get the same haircut. I always get from the same guy. Yeah
Yeah, I'm an uncharted waters. Yeah, so the guy says, you know, what do you want?
I show him this old photo of me and he says can't do that
Because it's not cuz he can't he's not capable because I don't have the fucking hair.
And I'm sitting there, I'm just freaking out.
I'm thinking, well, just, can you just cut it shorter?
That's what I say, can you just cut it?
And he starts cutting and he goes, what do you want me to do?
I said, just a bit shorter, please.
And I said, tread lightly, it's getting pretty thin up there.
And he said, no, I said, I didn't say
it's getting pretty thin up there.
I said, tread lightly, it's crunch time up there.
And he said, don't worry, it happens to everyone.
And I said, who's got a full head of hair this guy? I said, tread lightly. It's crunch time up there. And he said, Don't worry, it happens to everyone. And I
said, he's got a full head of hair. This guy said it's not
happening to you. And he said, Yeah, well, not everyone. And I
walked out of the barber and I, you know, did you look good? Did
you do a good job? He did a good job. He did. He did a fine job.
It was sort of a haircut where you know, like it is it is I've
talked about on the podcast before it's a turning point where it's like, you know, I can still style the hair to create the illusion of depth. Okay. But it is crunch time.
What do you what direction are you thinking of going with it all? I'm torn between balling gracefully. Yeah. So just embracing it and making it my own and looking cool.
Yep.
Or full-
Not.
Plugs.
Yeah, right.
I'm tossing up, you know, taking some of the money I've got aside.
Yeah, yeah.
And investing it in my follicles.
Sure.
And I still don't know what it's going to be.
I can appreciate both sides of that.
You're a dude who does a lot of TV.
Tragically, appearance is still important.
Do you know the silly thing is how much I think about it?
Yeah, I feel, do you know what I would recommend?
Get a tiny fraction of that money, buy some magic mushrooms,
go on a big trip and have a talk to yourself about it.
Figure it out.
Yeah. Yeah. I know. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, you're like, I should live my life in my home city, the way I embraced experience and, and openness to doing things that I wouldn't usually do. Yeah, I should spend more money in
Auckland. Yes. Roger that. When you do hallucinogens, you're like, everything's so obvious now.
It's like this, I don't need to worry about this other stuff. And both those experiences, you come
back to your reality. And you're like, how long can I hold on to this feeling yeah that was so
vital and for me the answer is like a day and then I'm back to looking in the
mirror being like am I gonna maybe that's enough though because maybe
that's enough for you to make a decision and be like well now the decisions made
I'm not gonna toss it this the worst I'm not tossing I'm not turning you're not
I'm chewing it over yeah that's the lion still see but I'm chewing too much energy dedicated to um, making a decision. I've thought this way for a long time and I've probably talked about on the pod before but I think eight times out of 10, four out of five to put it another way simplify that fraction. The worst decision you can make is no decision. That's why either one that you pick and so because that's why you're
having such a hard time with the decision that you're dwelling on.
You got two right answers. Yeah, pick one of them. I know fucking be done with it. I know.
Have you had a look in the mirror and had a look at the shape of your head and when is this a good
head for a bald head? It's a big reveal. I think about going and getting it shaved and seeing how it grows back.
Yeah, true.
I would love to get like a, I would love to get a cut which embraces the limitations.
Okay.
And see how that sits and feels with me, you know?
Sure.
And they say, they say, they say men aren't vain. Do they say
that? I don't know.
Do you would do you look in a mirror in public?
On occasion? Yeah. Yeah. And do you mind if people see you
looking in the mirror in public? Oh, kind of check to see if
anything's wrong. This what I'm doing. Yeah. Is anything wrong?
And about so say you're you're in a public? No, you're okay.
Someone caught me looking in a mirror like in a reflective window for yeah yeah fuck
him you don't care fuck him that's probably don't know who they are they
might know who you are I don't think so they might they might they might know
you are and in which case don't I got recognized in the sushi shop yesterday? From what I don't know being a comedian. Yeah, I was um, I was I was taking I was taking all of an a friend on a
I was taking to the museum actually nice and we stopped for sushi on the way
Yeah, and they were because the Lego thing yeah, yeah, and they I was taught
I can't I was I was allowed to sit next to the table, but I wasn't at their table
So I sitting there just trying to act like I wasn't wounded.
And there was like a teenager who was getting it.
I was right next to the drinks fridge getting a drink and they sort of looked at me and
we smile.
You know, you just smile like, Oh yeah, we're both alive and you smile at someone.
And then they went like that.
They did a big toe.
They went, and then they went over and they tapped their friend and then they both pointed at me.
And I was you I didn't talk to them. You were the guy. So either
either they recognize me or yeah, or they were like, oh, I
got recognized in a children's playground last weekend in
gizmen. That's cool. For champagne. Oh my gosh, which is a
short film short film, an made. Short film, amazing.
An award winning short film.
Like probably close to 15 years ago.
That's amazing.
You do look the same.
That's nuts.
You don't notice aging, hey?
Me?
One doesn't.
One doesn't until you get to a particular age, I think,
and then you start noticing it hardcore.
But everyone mentally, you know, you talk to people.
Yeah.
You know, I was waiting for this lightning bolt
of adulthood to strike me.
It's incremental.
Mentally, I'm still, you know, in my twenties.
I'm not, obviously.
I've accumulated responsibilities.
What you said about your holiday was so funny to me,
and I totally agree, and I will share it if I may.
Of course.
That you went on holiday with your family and you said, look, it was so much fun.
It was awesome. But on this trip, I'm the dad, but in my head, I'm still the boy.
Yeah.
Going on the family holiday and they are at odds with each other.
Absolutely.
Now it's time to throw to our word of the day.
Everyone's shit is in my backpack.
It's time for good times.
Word of the day.
OK, you ready?
And our word of the day today that we prepared earlier was extreme, extreme,
because that's the thing.
Do you at school was there a thing where you'd go extreme like that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With your arms and then like the movement of water in a stream with your other arm.
Everything was. Yeah. firstly, yes, absolutely. Secondly, I think Xtreme is a brand very big
when we were in high school. That's sort of being extreme early 2000s. It feels like there was a
lot of energy drinks back then. Well, maybe a little bit prior to that they got launched as
smart drinks. And then everything was Red Bull, you know, touring extreme with no way yet.
The start of the V was a little later.
They were the big two.
It was Red Bull and V.
There was one.
I swear there was one before.
Oh, maybe V was the OG.
V was big.
And then all of a sudden you've got your monsters.
Yeah.
Your rock stars.
That was much later.
Unseemly.
They're huge.
It's so funny to me that as,
I've been trying to actually,
I should turn this into a bit of stand up
because I was thinking about this recently,
as advanced and wonderful as humans are
and how far we've come in civilization,
the top companies in the world are still like,
fewer than recently have become computer companies,
but for like a century,
it's just been us selling sugar water to each other. Yeah. Just Coke and Pepsi. Yeah people love that stuff. I've actually I've learned to drink um
I'll buy ginger beer every now and then. Huge this is quite a development. Yeah. An extreme change
in guys life. You didn't go for the carbonated drinks. There's a there's a size of um ginger beer
for the carbonated drinks. There's a size of ginger beer
that is not the full 330 mil.
Like a 280 or something.
Yeah, it's like a slim,
and that's how much I like.
There's more sugar in a ginger beer
than there is in a Coke.
Do you know that?
I didn't know that.
Ginger beer's a load of sugar.
Is that why they taste so good?
I guess so, and the ginger.
There's more sugar than ginger.
Oh yeah. Like, you know, it's not you're not getting it.
You're not getting a gingery taste.
Absolute shit ton of I I wonder if I could put that out without looking it up on the pod.
I feel like it's true.
But there's more sugar in a ginger beer than a coke.
Say it, man. Who's who's going to get you?
I want to know this.
I mean, do you do any parts of your life feel extreme?
Do you pursue the extremes? Do you think of yourself as extreme in any way? No, no. Do
you think? Do you think? Do you think you're normal? I'm normal for me. That's a good answer.
That's a good answer. I think you and I discussed this on a recent family time about normal normalcy.
Oh, yeah, I think I did ask you about it.
Malacy. And what I said is I don't really
you don't believe there's a normal.
No, I don't. Yeah.
That's fair.
I just I don't think of myself as extreme, but then occasionally
behavior shirt, my behavior will get reflected back to me as being quite extreme.
Really? What kind of of things we talking about it's when I had a I had a running
competition with my friend Prague yes we were in a thread for running and we both
you know it's not it's nothing crazy it's like you know the average be you
can do a hundred case a month and if you do a hundred case everyone goes a little
contest yeah 100 K's but this wasn't if you do a hundred K's, everyone goes. There was a little contest. Yeah. Why don't you do a hundred K's?
But this wasn't a contest.
It was just like, we were both just doing runs.
And then it was in a May and I kept talking shit for no reason.
I just kept saying, it's Montgomery May.
You know, I was just banging on the Montgomery May drum.
And then Praak sort of started going for some runs and he's like, nah, it's actually.
Praak Timber.
Yeah.
It's Praak the Sharks month. it's, it's probably the sharks month.
And he kept sending me the shark fin emoji.
And we were like 20 or 20, how many days into the month?
And then, um, someone said, you guys should see who runs the furthest this month.
But cause you know, we've both run about the same distance so far.
They said you should go dark.
So you should, you stop posting your runs and you do a reveal on the first of the
next month, the first of June, who's run the furthest.
And I thought that's pretty good.
And so, and we'd both just been going for probably slightly higher than normal.
We're probably both pushing towards maybe running 110, 120 Ks for the month.
And, uh, I thought, okay, I'll do that.
And then I started, I guess I got in my own head.
I started thinking that Praag was going to be going for a lot of runs.
It was a bit of a cold war.
I went for a run.
Yeah, I went for a run and then I ran like 10 or 12 k's the next day
and got up to like 120 or something.
I thought, oh yeah, I mean, like that's touching distance of 200.
Yeah.
You know, and there's five days left or something.
Yeah.
And I'm like, well, if I'm that close,
prior to being able to do big runs,
he's probably that close.
He's gonna be looking at 200 and thinking,
that's how far I've gotta run.
So this is like running 80 Ks in five days,
which is, I'd say by most standards,
if you're not an athlete or taking running very seriously.
It's very extreme.
You're doing a half marathon almost daily for five days.
So I did three half marathons in a row.
I'd go for these runs and I'd come home and have,
I had no work on.
It was like when we were in and out of lockdown.
I'd take like two hour long Epsom salts baths
to try and, you know.
Anyway, comes to the reveal, I've run 201 kilometres.
Prak had run like a normal, like 150 kilometres.
Still quite a lot.
Still really far. And everyone was like, why'd you do kilometres. Still quite a lot. Still really far.
And everyone was like, why'd you do that?
You ruined the game.
But in my head, I was like, oh, you know, I have to.
So I suppose I didn't realise how extreme I was taking that.
I didn't realise how odd I was being
until it was reflected back to me.
Yeah, right.
And everyone was like, you know, that was too much.
You also had quite an extreme approach to stand up as well, where most people
would be sort of like, I'm going to try this as a pursuit.
This is an interesting thing. I'll jump on some open mics.
And you said, I'm going to move to Canada. Yeah. And all I'll do is all I'll do is
comedy. I just didn't, you know, when I was starting, I just didn't want to, um,
be bad. Do you, in New Zealand, are you still bringing that?
Do you still think you have let's agree that you're an extreme guy, or at least
you do extreme things on occasion.
Do you think like that is still a modus operandi for you today?
Do you know, I think if you ask Chelsea, she'd say yes.
I said like, you know, one year
I was like I'm gonna watch a hundred and four movies. I think I can get quite fixated on numbers
I've driven by quantifying. Yeah, so I was like one year
I felt like I wasn't watching enough movies and so I said I'm gonna watch one movie a week
Yeah, so I want to watch 52 movies in a year and then I did it and I loved it
I'm gonna watch a hundred and four movies
I got you right into letterbox. I love letterbox and New Zealand creation. Yeah, that is a company that started here
That's one of the only
Healthy social media apps in my opinion, although I have noticed it has bled into like
When I'm watching a movie now, yeah, I can be formulated
bled into like, when I'm watching a movie now, yeah, I can be formulating sometimes I'm thinking of a little gag, you
know, and it's kind of, you know, so then now I've actually
stopped posting reviews last movie you saw. Can I do the last
movie that I can remember seeing in my head right now?
Wish you would. The fablman's Hello, I don't know what that
is. Steven Spielberg, oh it a semi autobiographical movie about his upbringing?
Oh, wow.
Oh, they came out.
Beautiful.
Two years ago.
Right.
Yeah.
Incredible.
Awesome.
Incredible.
Paul Dano, Michelle Williams played the parents.
Paul Dano, is he the guy who was he briefly played Riddler?
I think he's going to play the Riddler, but he was in the last
was speaking of which yes I have branches but no fruit truncal
leaves what am I I have branches a bank is that it yeah you got
it yes that's awesome way to you. But yeah, I think I really like, I watched it on a plane.
And I read, I mean, you, I think you're emotionally heightened on a plane.
What is up with that? I just think it is a universal experience.
And I don't understand. Is it, is it the combination of the fact that the outside world has a harder time intruding. So it becomes quite a dedicated watch of the movie or TV show that you're doing.
I think so.
You got headphones on.
You're kind of, you are surrounded by people.
You got, sometimes people right on the sides of you.
It's a severance of ties to the actual world.
I think you are not connected in any way to what is happening
outside of this. Yeah and that's why they need to retain no wi-fi on the planes. Well what do you do?
Do you connect? No. Never? Well not never. If there's something important because if there's
something that I need to coordinate on the ground I would connect. Like that's a genuinely
useful thing. I see. I still think it should, I think,
I think it should be okay to say I can't.
Yeah, that's what it's doing, isn't it, guy?
That's the problem, it is robbing us of our ability
to say I can't.
To say I can't.
Because now, nearly all flights,
at least international, they come with WiFi.
Really?
Yeah.
It's always like, enjoy WiFi on your flight. It's It's always broken though. Start bringing a signal jammer onto the
plane what could go wrong? Could you get one of those two customs? It would
definitely fuck with the plane's instruments. How big is the signal jammer?
What is that? I think you could find like a portable one but I also
think you would be massively arrested trying to bring one on a plane. Oh, really?
I think they're illegal just like around because they can interfere with like emergency.
Is that what they use in like movies and the Fast and the Furious?
It's often an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse.
Yeah, they did use one of those in the one.
They use one of those in Ocean's Eleven too.
And then it's like a magic, it's like movie magic kind of.
They don't work exactly how they're shown.
Not exactly how they're shown,
but like I think the principles kind of hold.
I've never like heard of an EMP being used in real life.
Here's how I choose my movie on the plane.
I sit down, I scan the options.
I look up-
First off, you get on the plane,
or have you lost the magic or are you like this is so cool
I'm gonna play I get on the plane and I I say hello to my seatmate
Nice I say classy. How you going? And then I have I've got my ovary headphones ready. Yes, so that
Once I'm ready to terminate or pause the conversation. I can go, all right. Well, you know, yep bang we're on
I've got options now. I can talk to them. I can ignore them
I'm scanning for a top five. I'm trying to whittle it down and I'm going across genres and years
I'm looking for five different movies that could be for me on this flight. I'm
researching each of those five on
Letterboxd I'm seeing what my friends, people I respect,
what do they think of these movies?
I'm also considering runtime.
If I'm on a three and a half hour flight,
I don't wanna watch a three hour movie.
It's too much pressure to watch movie.
I want an hour and a half.
I want the option to doze off.
I want the option to get distracted.
Sure. Disrespectful for a little bit. I don't want to feel like I've sat down on
the plane and I've got a job which is to get through a few good men. Yeah. Which
is on my list of movies I want to watch on the plane. Yeah. But I've just not
been on a flight long enough lately where that's been on it.
I watched the fail. I'm so sorry to hear that, man.
Dude.
This seems like you're really cut off about it.
It's actually nice that someone's finally talking about it.
Yeah, I'm really I'm so sorry to hear that.
You know, it's been a long time coming that.
Thanks, Tim.
Yeah, no worries, man.
I'm just I'm just I'm just running you through the process.
Yeah.
I usually choose the shittest movie
That's on the list of five. Why is that?
Because it's like the other ones the good ones are reserved for when I'm on the ground kind of watch
Yeah, this is a plane viewing you ever have you this is a bloody trend at the moment you raw dog any flights
We just don't deal
There there's a you know with all these going to say, there's a, there's a, you know, with all these
cultural phenomenons, there's a tipping point.
And there are certain people who you see doing it.
And I think, you know, they represent to me a moment passing.
The people doing it for that particular thing are oblivious to conversations
happening on the internet and people talk.
It's 50 year old men.
Oh, people who actually just do it.
Yeah.
They just get on a plane and just look at the flight map.
Or there's no headphones.
You know who did that? It was Putty on Seinfeld.
Elaine's boyfriend Putty.
Patrick Warburton's character. He was the OG and it really distressed it right it's like what you can't you know so yeah I don't do that
I consider reading raw dogging yeah yeah yeah I feel very smug if I'm in a book
on a plane nice you should man yeah books let's bring him back yeah yeah you're
reading no I just finished Atomic Habits on,
you know, I still call them books on tape.
Yeah.
What are they called?
A audio book.
An audio book.
Books on tape's good though.
Yeah, I always, that's where my brain goes
when I think of audio books is books on tape.
Yeah.
Tapes have been around for an extremely long amount of time.
Tapes are back.
Cassettes? Yeah, cassettesettes are back which is a funny one because the audio quality is actually low but the trend is undeniable.
And look the one we got to bring back guys can we please get mini discs back. You would have been
a bit, we've talked about this you're a mini disc guy. How many songs you getting on one of those discs?
For the last ones they brought out, they would have a gig.
One whole gig. A gigabyte.
And you could put MP3s on there eventually.
So we're talking, let's do the math.
Back in the day, you were encoding your songs at 128 kilobits per second,
which is roughly one meg per minute.
So that's, is that a thousand minutes?
Divided by 60. I like what your eyebrows doing while you're thinking.
Okay so what's that 400 hours? 40 hours. I want to say it's 40 hours. 40 sounds right.
Of reasonably shit quality mp3s through really cool headphones with a wire on them.
HipHopGame.com! What'd that? That was when I was using LimeWire that was the sort of it was like a
watermark I guess. A startup sound or bring it back to our word of the day,
Guy Montgomery, what do you feel like is the most extreme thing you're doing in
your life right now? What am I even doing in my life right now? I'll go first.
Tragically, I didn't set myself up to get into this. This isn't tragic.
It's just tragic that there's nothing more extreme than this, but probably parenting.
Yeah.
To young kids.
That is extreme.
It is. Do you know, it's tricky because it kind of is extreme, but it's so common.
Surely that which is common cannot be extreme.
It's personally extreme. It's a very intense thing to do.
And also, not everyone's doing it, but so many people are doing it. Yeah. And,
you know, as someone who's, who's a parent, but not parenting to young children all the time, it's just, it's not an interesting one. It's not. That's
one of the big problems. It's just not interesting. Yeah. Oh, did you not sleep last night?
Correctly assessed.
Did you not get a good night's sleep last night? I'm really
sorry.
I'm not surprised.
It's not a shock. It's not interesting. It's not
interesting. I'm sorry for you. Yeah. But you must have kind of
seen it coming.
This is I, look, I'm the perfect flag bearer for this. This is
what we should be talking about more boring parents.
Yeah, I'm so sorry. I can I can sympathize literally with your
situation. You can empathize. I can. Oh, yeah, I always get them backwards. But
it's not interesting. It's not an interesting thing to talk about. The
trouble is, of course, that every other thing in your life is robbed by that one
thing. Well, and you know, I think the issue is for parents.
As all of a sudden anyone else's personal lives or issues or whatever it is they're facing
that isn't related to their kids.
Yeah.
Is, which might have historically been interesting, is suddenly not interesting to them.
Or you go the other way with it, where other people's lives, because they're out there doing things, is so tantalizing by comparison to your dog shit sleeps and...
Yeah. Well, if you are struggling with cognitive function, I'd like to give a huge shout out to...
Now, by the way, I've not heard back from Patrick. Ah, that's disappointing to hear. It doesn't take
away the fact that I sent him a message. We send him a message two whole episodes ago.
One episode ago. One entire episode ago, we reached out to Patrick.
No news. And he's Patrick now until we hear back.
But I'd like to head down to the Mosh Pit.
Is that brain health? Your parlance? Unwrapped. That's theirs.
In the news, I've got a half minute read here.
In the news, the 20 best brain supporting snacks for focus and memory.
I'm going to go out in the limb and say Mosh is on that list.
If Mosh wrote the list.
Yeah. Do you know who made the list?
Mosh?
Livestrong.com.
The highly discredited organization started by Lance Armstrong, the disgraced cyclist.
I don't know. I mean, Livestrong's got to be him. Livestrong, everyone was wearing the yellow bands.
Yeah, it was a real cultural flashpoint.
He is disgraced. Do you know, the disgrace is for the lying.
Yeah. Everyone was the lying. Yeah.
Everyone was doping.
And it's hard what he was doing.
Riding that bike.
Was he a bad guy in the end?
Or was he just a dedicated,
an extreme cyclist?
Well I think he was participating in a flawed system.
Everyone's in there doping.
He is also doping. He became king of the dopes.
Yeah. And it's a,
when he was six, stage ringing out the window, you're king of the dopes.
Get your head out of your ass.
That's what parents say to kids sometimes. Yeah. And what are the kids say?
What sort of things do kids say?
The kids say Livestrong is still an organization in 2024.
One fan who purchased a trial pack of all three flavors,
peanut butter crunch, chocolate crunch, and peanut butter chocolate crunch says,
my favorite is the chocolate crunch, mosh bar, rich dark chocolate, slight crunch with a zing.
I just don't know if you want Livestrong as a testimonial on your website for your product
that sponsors our podcast for which we're eternally grateful.

I'm looking at the plant powered trio party pack.
And if I was you, I would be too.
I've got three flavors here, banana bread,
apple, cinnamon, oatmeal,

I don't know.
Some of the, I don't know where to put the code in.
And I don't even think if they had a place that would work,
but don't be afraid to have a look.
Give it a go.
Give it, yeah, give it a go.
Yeah, look.
And that's from the mosh pit.
A perfect read.
Thanks, man.
And that'll do it for us today on Good Times.
I've had an extremely good time hanging out with you, Guy,
and your cool shirt.
I've had a good time with you, man.
It's nice to share.
