hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts
we listen to podcasts so that you don't have to
I'm your host Carl
with me today is Mark
hi
hi Mark
you're not going to hear me through your headphones
you got to pull one off you're not okay but you're only hear the, sorry, I guess I overestimated your sweet setup here.
Yeah, have you heard the show since Kevin left? It's not good.
Let's remind our listeners that you can visit said whoarethese.com, our Facebook page,
or on Twitter, and who are these pod. If you like what you hear, don't forget to give us
a positive five-server view on iTunes or Google or wherever you do that.
Today we'll be reviewing a podcast called The Drew and Kevin Adventure.
Mark and I both listen to the show separately, we have not discussed it with each other, so let's get into it.
We can start with the intro because they certainly did.
I always like to start the show. I mean, we have so much to say about this podcast. It's one of the worst things that I've ever heard.
So it's really difficult.
I think the best way to start this off
is to play a clip so the people know
what we're talking about.
This is the clip that sums up the show for me.
There's two things going on here
that's throughout the show that I will point out afterwards.
When I was writing, you know,
actually like just this past week,
I kind of came to the conclusion where I was like,
man, like, when I get through this, you know, there's always gonna be stressful things,
but like, right now is probably like the most stress
that I might ever be in my life,
and I feel like I've been handling it really well.
There's two things going on there.
First off, these guys are not good broadcasters.
I don't know if you noticed this,
but there's a lot of verbal crutches going on.
A lot of likes, a lot of kindness.
You know, I have
you know, I kind of thought that we're better than, you know, as an avid listener of O-W-A-T-P.
Yes. They were better than a lot of people that you had. I found it kind of tough to dislike
them, but you've got to talk to dislike them. In some ways, and we're going to do it. We'll
get into it. All right. It's your second. But is not ready for that. But if this kid thinks that the most stressful experience
in his life is buying his house,
he's in for a bit of a wake up call down the road.
Yeah, so these guys, the hosts of the show,
I shouldn't mention are Kevin Lowers and Drew Michaels.
They used to have a show called Millennial Madness.
And this is the episode where they've changed their whole format.
Believe me, I know I heard the intro. Yeah, they talk about it. It's great because they
talk about this podcast. No one's ever heard of it. Talk about why they changed the name.
They don't talk about it. They do kind of like an inaugural address. They take one theme and
run with it. And this is something that goes on throughout the podcast. They take a theme and run with it and this is something that goes on throughout the podcast. They take a theme and they just kind of reiterate it over and over and over to the point where
it gets you kind of wonder if they feel that on the off chance someone's listening that
they're just you know an idiot or they don't per English is a second language maybe.
Right. This isn't getting through you guys. Let's explain it again.
This is a podcast where we talk about things like,
okay, that dog about shit.
But that intro, I live three point two miles away
from the nearest bar to my house.
Okay.
And I drove there in downtown traffic.
Yes.
I have to work to go get a beer and I started it
when I got in the car.
It was still going when I got the bar
about 20 minutes later.
Yes.
That is how time works.
And then I cursed your name for making me listen.
This was a tough one.
This was a really hard one to listen to.
I listened to a lot of bad podcasts.
I had to turn this off in the car yesterday.
I was so angry at it.
Here's some of the beginning that we were talking about where they
explain that there no longer monial madness that they're changing up the
format. This is a trek that I call not making any sense. We are still going to
aim the or we're still going to provide the same kind of content to you guys.
Just just random subjects and everything that people may think about in the
back of their minds of conscious conscious whatever. So we just hope that you guys enjoy it. We hope you enjoy the new direction
We hope you enjoy the new name. We're not we're not obligated to make any sort of sense to you guys
Yeah, that's the beauty of it. That's the beauty of it. We're not obligated to make any type of sense to the audience
You know, that's ridiculous. That's an idea show. It's exactly your pet peeve that you've expressed over and over again.
Just because you have a microphone and a computer doesn't mean you've got something to say.
Exactly. In fact, I have a great example of they talk about how they started the podcast
and why they started it. And this is exactly the wrong reason to start the podcast.
They started it as a hobby. That's something that would just be fun to do late at night,
because we would have these conversations
that would go in all these directions.
We just wanted something fun to do late at night.
It's fucking go watch a basketball game that.
Why the hell are you starting a podcast
and pushing this on people?
Nobody wants to hear your guys' conversation.
So you mentioned before that you didn't think
they were that bad at broadcasting. You know they didn't have a lot of ticks. Here's some
pops up. Here's the pops up. There's about these guys. They're articulate. They can have good
cadence to their voice. They do sound like two guys have in a conversation. They're not
stilted. They're obviously not reading. They're obviously not reading. They're pretty good communicators
actually. Okay well then. It's just that they communicate the same freaking thing over and over and over and then
they start preaching at you halfway through the podcast.
This is a lecture.
The lecture and part of the lecture and part of the program.
It's probably too early in this broadcast to get to this, but they come across as the
only two people with ambition and drive in the world.
Correct.
And they just hammer on the where the audience would be
about, you know, if you just want to go have one job
and go home at night, you know,
an ambitious fucking loser.
You're not going to be worth anything in the long run.
And you know, I have a track out here, Mark.
It's called, this 23 year old is going
to explain how life works.
Thanks.
What do you like to do? What's something that you go back to your childhood? What's something that you've always loved to do?
You know if it's painting then don't say to yourself. I'll never be able to make there are ways to do anything
You can literally do anything you want you just have to find that trade you have to find a trade
That's what that's what life's all about. So humans are all about. That's what humans are all about. Hey, you know what?
No, you fucking can't. Well,
It's a no-persus guy's published. You know, I still live in a
Child nine. You know what I would love to make a money at what's that wet hand jobs? Yes
I'll put the applause in post
Anyway, so I'm trying to set this up a couple of times. I'm gonna put the applause in and post. Anyway, so I'm trying to set this up a couple of times.
I'm gonna do it now.
You mentioned that these guys don't have verbal ticks.
I was queuing in on the words, you know, like and kinda.
And I put together this clip for you.
Yeah, it's kind of a montage or a compilation, if you will.
Like, you know, like, you know, you know,
you know, when we kind of kind of, you know, like, you know, you know, we kind of, like, kind of, like, kind of, you know,
like, kind of, you know, like, you know, I mean, kind of, we kind of, you know, and you know,
like, like, like, so, you know, that this, like, he's like, he's like, just like, like, like,
it was like, it was like, like, like, like, there's like, like, you know, actually, like, kind of,
kind of, kind of, I was like, man, like, you know, that's what, like, you know, like, it was like, like, there's like, um, like, you know, actually, like, kind of kind of was like, man, like, you know, it's like, like, you know, I'm like, you know, I'm like, you know, like, you know, I'm like, you know, I'm like, you know, I'm like, you know, I'm like, I'm like, you 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, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, you know what I mean?
But, you know, like, you know, kind of, you know, you know, like, like, like, you know, like that, like, you just, you're, you're, you're, you're, be like, to like, it's like, like, like, like, you know, oh fuck, like, is not for everyone. Alright, point to the game.
You know, he wouldn't have been able to do that if they hadn't given you an hour of material
to work with.
This show was over an hour long.
To sum it up in kind of a trend, I see.
I don't really, I can't tell which one is Kevin, which one's, what's your name?
Drew.
Drew, because they never really make that clear in the start of the podcast.
Right.
But we got two guys.
We got, one of them is, you them is doing all the right things in life.
You got himself out of it.
Sounded like kind of a tough situation.
You know, he's got a kid, he's buying a house,
he's starting a business.
Kudos to him for starting that and doing that.
That's not an easy thing to do.
Well, before he started this business though,
I just want to remind you of something
that I think is very important.
This happened. Quitting my job where I was is very important. This happened.
Quitting my job where I was making a fuck ton of money.
Nobody who makes a lot of money calls it a fuck ton.
I happen to know this for a fact.
I know people who are very successful.
I bet it didn't make a lot of money.
A lot of money is a relative term.
It is a relative term.
So anyway, a fuck ton is also a relative term.
So anyway, this guy pulled himself
on with the bootstrap, she was saying.
I'm just saying that, you know, he's, he sounds like a dead.
That's how the advocate Mark is on the show.
It's like he's a dedicated guy.
He's trying to go to life for himself.
That's fun.
So he talks about it a little more than, you know, I'd like him to.
I just think you know, I like in the same sentence.
Right.
But you use the term like appropriately.
I'll give you credit there.
And we have the other guy who is the philosopher of the tip. Yes, and he basically goes on to give us
He kind of gives a Ted talk to the stuff that I want to be ridiculous like play play the track. I clip for you
The mind is insane
It's 99% of all your decisions, you know, it's it's everything
Thank you so much for clipping that. I love that the
mind makes up nine and every set of your decisions. What's the one percent? What's
making that out? Well, I'm defensively a guy or not. That's a good point. All right
point. But the point is that there's a lot of metaphysical sort of new agey
thought control philosophy going on and yeah here's
another example of that Mark your mind is gonna follow a thought like you
there's just thoughts your thoughts do not define you especially you know if
they're bad what the hell are you talking about I mean he just lost me on this and
this does sound at this point point, I'm like,
ah, I get it, they're smoking weed.
Ah, right, yes.
You know, this is a stone thing to say.
It is.
Let's go back to that beginning
and I will confess something, Mark.
I typically get over zealous when I listen to these podcasts
and I pull too many clips, I've done that again.
I spent an hour and a half on the first 10 minutes of this show.
There was nothing I wouldn't have clipped.
Every single thing is worth goofing on.
It's that bad.
So here's them talking about how they have a new format
or they're changing the show or who knows.
If you ever listened to Millennial Madness,
we never really had a focused agenda.
And that was the fun part. Who was that fun for? Not having a focused agenda.
I hate that shit. Hey, it's a show about absolutely nothing. You know what? Only one show has
ever pulled that off. It's called Side Fowl. You're not that good. Oh, and by the way,
they had writers. And yes, exactly. And prepped work ahead of time. Right. I hate these people
who just get on and think that they're going to be Howard Stern and just
riff.
Like me, my buddy, Talk, we're so insightful and interesting.
No, you're not.
You guys are boring.
You're a fucking boring.
But they do have an office.
Oh, I have a clip.
And I think I call it Humble Bragg.
And that's what we want to tell all of you.
And we'll be having guests on.
Oh, we got an office now.
So that's the other thing we're in our own office.
There's a lot of things that happen.
A lot of things that happen, right?
There's an office.
They have a desk.
They're planning to get shared at some point.
The furniture's coming in a couple weeks.
Oh, actually, how did you say that?
Well, you did listen to this.
Right after that Humble that humble bride they say this
We're getting some new furniture put in here. Hopefully in the next week or so. Yeah, it's some some definitely some incredibly exciting things to come
But this is just more of a mature medium for us and in which we're gonna operate the podcast
So as a so too Kevin and Drew go to a Kia does he understand what the word medium means?
This is just a more mature medium for us.
Oh, okay. It's the same medium. It's the exact same medium. It's still a podcast, Duffy's.
All right, this is a clip that I call the problem with the show.
And now with this platform, as the Drew and Kevin adventure, like there's a literally no agenda.
So we're not gearing this towards millennials, we're not gearing this towards millennials,
we're not gearing this towards anybody.
Yeah, that's the problem.
If you do not have a target audience,
then nobody wants to listen to it.
You should maybe gear it towards someone.
Would be my guess.
You know, even if you're gonna take a general theme,
like, hey, this is gonna be about random topics.
You can title each episode with, I don't know,
a theme for that episode, and let people know the random topics
so they can go through their iTunes listens,
yeah I wanna get that one.
That would take prep work.
They would actually have to have a topic to talk about,
and not just be too jerk off,
getting stoned and talking to each other
about random fucking shit that comes up.
Well, once again,
once again they didn't talk about random shit.
They talked about the mind.
They talked about the mind.
Okay.
They talked about how evil technology and social media was.
True.
And they talked about how there are the world's greatest
entrepreneurs.
There was a lot of self-importance going on.
And that was the other theme going out
to this entire show.
I make it a point on WATP,
did not talk about personal lives,
not talk about things that we do outside of the show
because who gives a shit.
People want to listen to a show,
they want to hear our take on these podcasts
or they're ripping on their podcasts
and they hate us,
whatever the reason you're listening.
That's what people want to hear.
They don't want to hear about what we did last night
or how the jazz festival's going in Rochester.
Nobody cares.
These assholes that's all they talk about.
This guy is so excited about his business, which by the way, he's a personal trader.
That's a legit business.
It's a legit business, but he does use the word billionaire a few times.
Yeah, he did say, you know what?
I should've clipped this one.
He says, you know, someone wants to come and buy my business for a billion dollars.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, people know my personal traders for a billion dollars.
That's not how that works.
Maybe he's gonna make an app.
Can I just read you the description of the show?
Sure, since we're talking about this.
This is from ITV that says,
with curiosity that will surely kill the cat,
Drew and Kevin explore the deepest depths
of their young and eager minds.
For every insightful takeaway that Drew and Kevin offer,
there is an equal entertainment value.
Enjoy the chaos.
There is, there's no entertainment behind the scenes.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
According to a podcast that rips these two guys.
Dude, Bill Cosby is less hateable than these assholes.
Are you kidding me?
These guys are the worst.
I have a clip on here that I call the opposite of foreshadowing.
We're going to have conversations that are entertaining that are funny.
Nope. That will not be happening. I did not hear that at all.
I wish Michelle Carter would have texted these guys to kill themselves.
But you see, right about the 25-minute mark,
the podcast takes a bit of a shift in tone.
It becomes less soul-searching and more aggressive and broy.
Okay.
You know, they turn into dude bros.
They're obviously avid fans of Tim Ferrista.
Yeah.
The self-help book writer.
The writer, the rock-weak guy.
Yeah.
And you can hear it.
I think I even mentioned it a couple times,
but you can hear there are feelings about work
and about what constitutes valuable real work.
They love what work losers do.
Yes.
You know the other thing that's throughout the show
that Mark and I'm breaking my rule right now,
but you and I are both in bands.
They keep talking about not going to concerts,
and I didn't like that part of the show.
Like, you know, you don't have to keep going to concerts.
Just go to work and start like,
no fuck you go to a concert.
Every time I go to a concert,
some sleazy guy gives me money.
Right.
I mean, supporting musicians is not a bad thing.
I just want to throw that out there too,
drew in Kevin.
But, you know, whoever has the three and a half year old,
probably should be staying home and not going concerts because they have a kid to race.
Although I do question his worth or at least his mindset as a father go ahead
and play that clip I pulled out father the year. I have a family I love my
girlfriend to death she's the best person in the world my kids fucking amazing
but like I can't like my girlfriend could just spend all
a day with my son like she's just fucking incredible like it's just it amazes me but like that's
like what makes her tick you know that's her thing on like another level which is just it's amazing
and I couldn't be happier but it's like I spend like five six hours with my kid and I want to
shove my head through a fucking sheet of drywall. That's great.
Oh my God, yeah, that did take me back,
and then he's like, listen, I love my family.
I just don't want to hang out with them.
I don't want to be around my kid.
Is that so bad?
You know, I'll send him a birthday card.
I mean, 20 bucks at Christmas.
So getting back into how self-important these ass hats are
Listen to this clip you just bought a home an incredible home and just what is your what's going through your mind right now?
Cuz you are and like like the most
Craziest you're in one of that you're in one of the most stressful exciting
positions of your entire life.
I mean, this is really a huge step for you.
Like, so...
It's just brutal.
Hey, when I bought my first home, I was excited.
Yeah, did you do a show about it?
It's not for an hour on a podcast about it.
That'll be a bad podcast back then.
Oh, thank God.
This sums up everything these guys talked about to me.
You found it insightful.
This is what I thought.
What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic
things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response
were you even close to anything that
could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone in this room is now We were kind of trying to succeed. The great thing about their style, their broadcasting style, their format.
What is the great thing, right?
Is that if they say something that makes absolutely no sense.
Yes.
Which happens.
You know that immediately afterward they're going to reiterate it in a way that makes slightly more sense.
And over and then they might have, you know, a dip in the road as they get to their destination.
Right, right, right. There's a couple of forts.
But eventually, you know, I get it. You know, there are a couple of guys are trying to make their way in the world. I can't fall
them for that. I can't fall them for trying to start a business and doing things that take guts.
I can't fault them for telling us about it. Correct. I actually wrote down after I started
listening to the show, I was 10 minutes in, my first listen, and I just wrote a note to myself.
Ten minutes in my first listen and I just wrote a note to myself. The one word I'd used to describe this is uncomfortable.
I found it very uncomfortable and then
Lowen behold they have this conversation late in the show
There to make other people uncomfortable starting with yourself
Yeah, man, it's a it's something that has to be done. What?
What are they talking about first off? dare to make other people uncomfortable starting with yourself
That makes a zero sense and secondly, why do you need to make people uncomfortable? What's the point of that? I thought I thought package will also be educational or entertaining not uncomfortable. It's like a three-s company episode
The mindset that they're trying to produce
a three-company episode. The mindset that they're trying to produce,
what they're trying to get at is that you have to push
yourself to the limits of comfort and ability
if you're going to get better at conquering these things.
I didn't get that from this.
I read the same book they read.
Okay, I mean, DeFair has done talking about going up
to strangers and talking to them to get your comfort level.
Yeah, go talk to some random chick at the ball
and see if that doesn't get you mace. Yeah, exactly talk to some random chick at the mall and see that. You're not. That doesn't get you, Macy.
Yeah, exactly.
But I see, I didn't get that from the show.
And maybe I didn't listen to it as well as you did,
or maybe you were reading into it more than what they were
actually saying, because I think you're
filling in some blanks for these guys.
Someone's got to do it.
They're having a really random boring ridiculous conversation
that's uncomfortable, and then they're celebrating it.
Hey, where does a really uncomfortable conversation?
It's really great that we do that.
And this is like the danger of self-help books and self-help material.
Not understanding what's the most visible data.
A lot of people get really hyped up and just they get so amped up on the ideas and the
end concepts and the outcomes that they can't always recognize that there's a very
slim chance that they're going to get there. Right, you're probably not Tim Ferriss. You're
probably Drew and Kevin. And can I ask a question? Why I understand that they wanted to get rid of
the Millennial madness. But why is it called, what is it called? The Drew and Kevin Adventure?
Was there any adventure going on here?
There was an adventure in the mind.
Was there?
I guess I missed that.
This is, this is funny just because of,
I wanted to do starting recording our own conversations,
just getting our feet wet with being uncomfortable
and putting out these conversations
that everyone's gonna listen to.
That everyone, that's the part that I love.
We're gonna put out these conversations
that everyone's going to listen to.
No, actually the only assholes or unless they do this,
I think people will make it pot of it for their podcast.
Although I will say they do have some positive reviews
on their iTunes page.
Oh, to sure.
Oh, I should because I was reading through these.
How does this happen?
Here's a five-star review called Genuine from Elderly Lady.
Such a refreshing approach to accepting that the Millennial generation may have more advances
than previous decades, but certainly could learn to be life learners
from those generations.
That sentence makes as much sense as this podcast.
That sounds like English is a second language.
Yes.
Motivates a new jazzy way to look at life,
and I'm very excited to see what is to come from these two.
Exclamation point.
This is idiotic.
I don't know if this is any sense at all.
It makes sense.
It's just not glued together very well.
It's not glued together very well.
This is true.
Did you hear when they were talking about
how they changed their intro?
That was a big thing they were talking about.
You know, we changed our social media.
We changed the name of our show.
We changed our intro.
I'm surprised they're on social media,
given how it's so terrible and it's scourge on society.
It's actually everyone's addicted to it.
Yeah, and you're on social media.
If the first thing you look at in the morning is your phone,
and the last thing you look at before you go to sleep
is your phone, I believe the exact quote is,
guess what, you're an addict.
Yes, I believe that's what he said.
And I'm wondering if you have a beer instead of looking at your phone, is that better? Look at it, you're not believe that's what he said. And I'm wondering if you have a beer instead
of looking at your phone, is that better?
No, that's right.
So, yeah.
So, yeah.
Yes.
Anyway, they were talking about their old intro. I bet you didn't go back and listen to
old episodes to hear what their old songs are.
You didn't give me time. You sent me the podcast two days ago.
All right.
It takes this exactly one eternity long. All right. Well, check it out Mark. Here is the
amazing intro that they decided to change out.
Welcome to Millennial Madness.

Lee.
If that isn't pretentious, that's the most pretentious intro I've ever heard.
The Millennial Magna's podcast.
We're gonna have this amazing conversation!
We're gonna open up your mind to change your world!
No, you're not.
We're gonna have.
You're gonna smoke a clock!
Oh God!
And fuck it up!
And ramble on it on!
About random non-suds. I like the UNI listened to this show and got totally different things out of it. You're gonna smoke a car and fucking I had to and ramblon it on about random nonsense.
I like the UNI listened to this show
and got totally different things out of it.
I'm actually excited about that.
You know, I did not expect this from you
because I listened to this podcast, got nothing from it
and thought for sure you'd come in here
and go, what the fuck are these ass hats talking about?
Instead, you seem to know exactly what they were talking about.
You're almost on board.
I feel like. I would not go so far as to say I'm on board. I'm just saying I kind of can don't try and hard to start your own business.
So Mark, you're an older person than these two guys. I am. And I will tell you, you're not the only person of an older age who likes the show because they did say this.
Yeah. You know, I had a, people that were way older than me that were tuning in and saying that this shit's awesome.
They're not millennials.
You're a liar.
There's no one telling you this shit's awesome.
People don't talk like that.
There's no way that he's ever heard that statement come from somebody.
There was also this weird moment that happened where they started interviewing Caitlyn Jenner.
Do you remember this part?
I think that a good starting point honestly would
just to be talking about your transition right now you're going through some
insanely crazy changes right now. Here's such an asshole. Wait they interviewed
Kate and she forget about that part. I think I kind of scrubbed past that.
Alright, you know I can only take so much because I might be lying about that
So this this podcast as we mentioned was over an hour walk
And they threatened longer episodes in the future. Oh, thank you very much
Like you really you really remember I said this show
So here's a clip that I pulled that is
Infuriating for anyone who had to sit through this we got to wrap this up and this has been a fucking exceptional
exceptional.
A bar tower?
Yeah, yeah.
We're trying to keep it right around there.
At least for tonight because it's been a long day.
Yeah, for sure.
We need to, yeah, but you know, in future podcast, fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if we had
three or four hour podcast for sure.
Oh, sure.
Oh, can you imagine sitting through three or four hour podcast for sure. Oh, can you imagine
sitting through three or four hours of this? No, and the crazy part is that they talk so much about
wasting time and being productive, don't go out every night, you've got to start your business,
you got to do all the singing, then they're going to talk in a podcast for four hours, and I
guarantee you this mark, they do not go back and listen to their show before they upload it.
There is no way because they would have cut most of that nonsense out.
Had they had done that.
For me, I go back and cut the nonsense out.
It just makes sense.
I feel like I owe it to the people.
So you will be out of this episode completely.
I never realized you ever went back and cut the nonsense out of your show.
Yeah, you would notice that I'm publishing.
That's how much nonsense, there is.
Now, I just, it's annoying to me that these guys think that they can do a three hour long
or four hour long podcast and that that would be something anybody would want to listen to.
It's just humorous, pure and simple.
Yes.
These guys are very full of themselves.
They believe they're, you know, above the heads of their peer group, if they have one, significantly heading shoulders above the average human
being. And one of the cool things about growing up is you get that tempered out of you
a little bit as you go. Oh, well, they know all about the real world. Listen to this, Claire.
It's a crazy thing, man. And you don't, you don't realize until you actually have real life responsibilities
Go through high school you have to ask to go to the bathroom
You go to college and boom you're out into the real world. You just have to deal with this kind of shit
The more you know
These fucking assholes you go to high school
You ask of the bathroom you go to college you kicked out of college you're out in the real world
You're in prison. You got to ask ask of the bathroom, you're gonna college, you kicked out of college, you're out in the real room, you're in prison, you gotta ask to go to the bathroom.
The only thing this guy said that I actually believed
was this.
I have an insane network of insane mentors.
Yeah, that checks out.
The network of insane mentors.
That actually makes sense to me.
I think that's probably true.
So Mark, life can be hard sometimes.
Yeah, correct. I mean, we're in the real world.
We have responsibilities.
That cubicle waiting for me on the line.
Yeah, man, full-time jobs, families, the whole thing.
How do you get through it, man?
What do you do to get through it?
Well, personally, lots of beer.
Yeah. Lots of beer, and then I go and close myself in a room and compose and play music loud as fuck.
Let me tell you how Kevin does it. So you found that just writing things down to sort
of therapeutic. Oh, dude, it's like the only way that I would get through with that and
training really hard. Like, like, that's how I, I will get through my life. That's how
I get through my life, trading really hard.
It actually made a lot of sense to me.
These guys are kind of mead heads.
Mead heads have these philosophical conversations.
Joe Rogan's the one guy who is actually intelligent
of this spectrum of people.
And so they all listen to Joe Rogan,
and then they try to have the same conversation
with each other.
Or Tim Ferris.
Or Tim Ferris and mead heads.
He's mead head too too Oh, it is okay
So there's a couple of these guys who work out all the time and they're just at the gym and they they actually can have these
Conversations and are interesting most of them cannot we listen to this other show out of Toronto with these assholes who are all power
With squat club or whatever
Asquat cast or something like that.
And they're all powerlifters.
And they just thought everything that they talked about
was hilarious and interesting.
Probably because nobody tells them
otherwise to their face.
Well, that show was like being on a bus
full of a bunch of drunken powerlifters.
Yes.
And this show was like being trapped
in a room with stoned powerlifters.
So we got a couple of traders here, right?
They obviously work out there.
I have a cool idea for them. How about you?
Okay.
You do a podcast about training and working out and your philosophies on training and working out and tie it into your goddamn business.
There you go.
Rather than talk about nothing for no one, because that's what they set this up as.
We're a show that's not geared towards anyone.
Did you know I was starting a business? My not geared towards anyone. Did you know my business?
I was starting a business, my business.
My business, my business, my business.
I don't like to end, and then it gets really blowhardy.
I don't like to use the word entrepreneur
because it just, you know, it carries so much weight
or I forget the term that he uses.
I call myself Jim CEO.
It's founder.
Right.
Jim with a J.
All right, so here's a clip on here. I'm almost done Mark. I like I said I wait too many clips, but I
Just have a note that is anyone having fun listening to this?
You know podcast there's so much fun to do and there's so much fun to listen to you, so
Guy is stupid
That guy is stupid. Alright, let's talk about when they try to sound intelligent.
Because I've been accused of trying to sound intelligent.
I don't even know what that means, but this is a great example of that.
Not think that we're sort of bestowing any specific ideas on you guys.
Does that even make sense bestowing specific ideas?
You could bestow wisdom.
Correct.
They don't. They're very good. Theoretically. You could bestow wisdom. Correct. They don't. Very good. Theoretically,
one could do that. All right, well, I'm done with my clips. I think we've said enough about this show.
Mark loved it. I didn't really understand it. I loved what they started talking about. I
should read a book. I wish you stopped. I thought that was great. I wish you'd stop
characterizing me as having loved the show
Mark was celebrating the show. He's been tweeting it to all his friends. This will change your life
You know, I wish the kids well if I saw him in a bar I'd have a beer with them right before they punched me out. You're right. They would definitely punch you out
But man, you know less preachy
they punched me out. You're right.
They would definitely punch you out.
But man, you know, less preachy, less verbose, less self-important, and maybe they could have
something that could be interesting to one or two people.
Or listen to Tim Ferriss' podcast.
He has a podcast also, and that guy's actually success.
That podcast is fucking insufferable.
Yeah, I don't listen to anything.
I can point.
That's one for the future.
Well, you know what Mark speaking of
another podcast that sucks. We're gonna do this again next week. And you know what that means.
It means it's time for us to play the teaser of the show we're reviewing next week.
You know what a teaser is Mark? Have you heard of that term before? I have. Okay, so what it is
is we put out just a snippet. Just a little bit of the podcast we'll be talking about.
Just a tip. Just the tip of it. Just a tease you so that you're excited about next week. Maybe you
subscribe. Maybe you hit refresh on your browser a couple of times. Wait for that new episode to come out.
I don't know. I'm not telling you how to live your life. But the reason why I play this clip is
to get your panties wet and get you excited about next week's show. Here is said teaser.
is to get your panties wet and get you excited about next week's show.
Here is said teaser.
The fundamentals, in our case, that's pee, that's E,
that's on.
You pick a snack, you eat a snack, you rate a snack.
Welcome to Mike and Tom Eat Snacks, everybody.
Mike and Tom Eat Snacks.
All right, so this is the show that you might have noticed
is called Mike and Tom Eat Snacks.
This was a suggestion from a listener Kathy Green, who wrote it on our Facebook page
a while back, sorry, it takes on to get to this Kathy.
She describes herself as an older lady who loves our show.
Hopefully, she wasn't a big cabin fan, she's actually hearing this.
So Mike and Tom eats snacks is a podcast from Michael Ian Black and Tom Kavanaugh.
I've heard that day, Michael Ian Black.
Yeah, he's a D-less celebrity.
They're comedians.
He's got like Beverly Hills 90210.
Oh no, no, that's not the guy.
He was on Stella.
He's been a writer and a lot of different stuff.
Hell with you.
It was a show that didn't last for a long
and comedy-central.
There's probably better things
that I could be talking about for Michael.
I'll do my homework for next week.
All right, I'm about to run a trial here.
Whatevs, I don't have to show up for it.
This is episode number 100.
It's from June 20th, 2016.
I believe the snack they'll be eating is an Oreo.
They review a single snack at every episode.
So I have an open mind about this,
and I think this one might be good.
My patties are wet.
All right, well, I just ask you to please join us again next week because it might be the
episode we find out once and for all.
