The Wolf And The Shepherd continue their discussion covering a wide variety of topics including the importance of sleep, doing nothing, why golf is the best sport to have on in the background, why riding a bicycle as an adult is preposterous, why Tesla drivers are lonely, the awkwardness of the happy birthday song, why the Dave Matthews Band is the worst band in the world, why Spotify playlists are better than buying songs one at a time, the invention of lighter lawnmowers so women can mow the grass, the need for robot vacuums, the main reason to have kids, therapeutic dishwashing, famous authors, whether or not gifts are surprises, missing pieces of board games, dressing up donkeys as unicorns, stranded on a desert island with Salma Hayek and Tulsi Gabbard, going back in time, hobbies that become professions, computers from BBC, regifting, the continued wait for the new Xbox, the cheerleader effect, slug eyebrows and fake eyelashes, needs versus wants, improper use of turn signals, the need for a new Johnny Cochran to defend the Shepherd, and why the creation of cereal from wood is the best superpower that a superhero could have.
welcome to this episode of the wolf and
the shepherd today
we're gonna continue on with these
getting to know you
questions so do you remember where we
left off
yeah it was somewhere just after the let
me steal
all of your personal information to get
access to your bank account
oh that's right but right before this is
getting uncomfortably intrusive so
there's somewhere between those
oh okay good good okay well at least
you're keeping track
right yeah i do actually remember what
the next question was
because i have some questions about the
question
if anything that's kind of confusing
yeah if you could choose to do anything
for a day
what would it be i'll probably
sleep i'm always tired now i think it's
because i'm getting old
you see my first thought was does not
doing anything
count as doing something for the day so
pretty much along those lines right well
doing nothing is actually doing
something right
so yeah sleeping is not doing nothing
because sleeping's actually doing
something right
but you would just sit there and stare
at the wall well if it's there i'll do
something
which assuming they meant during a wait
what you'd normally do during a waking
day
not like 24 hours because i thought
there's no way i can commit to anything
for 24 hours now
you know we can barely commit to doing
something for an hour
right yeah no i don't think they wrote
that question with others
in mind so yours is asleep and mine is
pretty much the equivalent just
basically do nothing
yeah the equivalent of sleep but not
sleeping right because while you're
making some sleeping in there i don't
know
i don't know ah but see now that's doing
something maybe
yeah what is your favorite game or sport
to watch and play and play so
so i guess none i think they can be
mutually exclusive
oh okay yeah i don't really like playing
any sports that takes too much physical
concern otherwise maybe this question
would eliminate 80
of americans if you had to watch and
play it well
exactly so you know i mean there are a
lot of people that play golf
and watch golf but they don't play golf
very well
but i haven't played golf in a long time
i mean i like watching
football like american football real
football and i like
watching hockey i like watching ice
hockey a lot more than i
actually like watching football but i
can't play ice hockey i don't own ice
skates
so i don't know i guess none i
you know watch and play what a crazy
question that is
right yeah i mean i obviously soccer for
me because i do both
well yeah yeah just that actually it's
that simple you know
watching soccer i used to play soccer
years and years ago
as a kid but i've actually gotten to
where yeah i kind of like to watch
soccer
but not to the you know level you like
to watch it you you'll watch multiple
games in a day or something like that
i like to watch a game of soccer every
now and then
right yeah now one sport
which i must admit is the best
background sport it's probably
ice hockey just because the scores are
notoriously low right and unless
fight breaks out or something i mean
it's like
nothing really happens that much well a
few chicks i mean it's a great sport
but soccer is the same way i have it on
but my thing is i love having it
on in the background gotcha kind of you
know you lift your head up when
you know you need to see something but
soccer is the exact same way i mean they
played 90 minutes and sometimes it's
0-0 right so you know it's kind of the
same thing
now the best background sport though is
golf
it really is because i love watching the
masters whenever it's on
tv because i take the best naps
when the masters is on you know it's
always quiet oh here's phil mickelson
he's approaching the ninth grade and oh
what a beautiful shot good
good job phil now over to this person
you know and they're all whispering
and they're playing like you know nice
music in the background
there's no commercials during the
masters and
and i take some great great naps during
the masters
did i tell you that when i was living in
england
one of my mates he um
said that when he was skiing in europe i
think it was like
switzerland that they actually had
skiing
on the radio and the sounds of the skin
so not just the commentators it seems
like that wow
yeah so skiing on the radio being on the
radio
i remember my dad used to listen to
baseball games on the radio
that's just such an old thing i mean i
do if i'm stuck
in the car you know like going somewhere
because i've gotta run to the store
whatever i'll listen to the cowboys
on the radio just to kind of keep up
with the game
because i used to pause it you know
you'd pause the game then i'd run to the
store or whatever
but then inevitably somebody says
something about the game
or you know it's on a tv or whatever
place you walk into
and so you basically catch yourself up
and then you
you try to avoid it but now i've just
gotten to where i just
don't care that much anymore so as
you've listened to the cowboys on the
radio right
right you can answer the question
does being a cowboys fan suck yes even
if you're blind
yes it does it's very hard it's very
difficult
yeah it's audio level right it's very
difficult to be a cowboys fan right
so this next question they've thrown a
lot of questions into one question here
i don't know why it's not like they've
tried to take any shortcuts elsewhere
would you rather ride a bike ride a
horse
or drive a car well
okay so now the ride of bike part is
that a bicycle or is that a motorcycle
uh let's see my bicycle oh okay so we
can scratch that off the list
because you know basically when you grow
up and you get a driver's license
there's no reason to ride a bicycle
unless you just want to impede traffic
and break traffic laws ride a horse or
so
we're scratching that so now it's
between ride a horse or drive a car
and i guess you know it's just saying
drive a car just
basically mode of transportation you
know not driving a specific car or
anything like that
i think i would have to choose ride a
horse yeah
i mean that's not something you get to
do every day i mean i drive a car
every day i can probably count
on one hand in a year the days that i'm
not driving a car
you know somehow i wake up in the
morning and i'm at home
and somehow never leave the house
throughout the whole day that's probably
in this past year maybe five times maybe
five times total that i haven't
done that so yeah i mean why not do
something that you don't get to do all
the time
versus something you do all the time so
i'm going with rider horses well no if
that was true then you'd be riding a
bicycle because you don't do that all
the time because you don't do it at all
well yeah but i refuse to do that on
general principle
right i don't want to wear like bright
yellow spandex and
put on a goofy little helmet and impede
traffic
right but my first thought when i heard
that question was
it needs to be a little bit more
situation specific doesn't it
because if you just chose you'd like
you'd prefer to ride a horse
but what about if um you need to get say
like miami beach in florida are you
still going to
take that horse or you kind of well i
guess it depends on how fast your
horse is you got to stop all the time
though to feed the horse
that's kind of a pain and then they get
thirsty
so yeah they do get there yeah it's not
like a car i mean cars get thirsty you
got to put gas in them
but at least you don't have to feed them
right i guess you do have to change the
oil is that kind of like feeding the car
and then putting gas in it is doing that
so then if you have a tesla
you don't have a car that you have to
you know
feed or give water to you miss that pond
in experience
yeah that's true yeah must be lonely
than driving a tesla
because you're not really having to do
anything maintenance wise to take care
of
it doesn't matter you've got the
internet on that big screen mate
well not only just the car drivers
here's here's the ironic part you know
one thing
you know our buddy eric has a tesla and
you name
your car like when you get a tesla they
basically
force you to name it now of course
people name their cars all the time or
whatever but
tesla kind of forces you to name your
car
but then you don't have that bonding
experience even though you gave it a
name
it's kind of sad oh i thought you were
going to tell me what our friend had
named his
car i know he told me that i gave me
eric's car
he probably misspelled it too
i i know he gave his car a name but i
don't remember what the name was
the q-mobile the q mobile probably
probably what would you sing at karaoke
night
i used to do karaoke years ago haven't
done it in a long time
but i had to pick one song now to sing
at karaoke
i'd probably pick happy birthday because
now you can actually sing happy birthday
without having to pay
whoever wrote it like 100 years ago and
then everybody would sing along with you
you know one of the most awkward things
that we still haven't figured out as a
society
is what you're supposed to do when
everybody's singing you happy birthday
you realize it's like the most awkward
45 seconds
of anyone's life is sitting there while
everybody and of course
it's more awkward the more people that
are singing you happy birthday yeah
or is it i don't know well no maybe it's
like if you only have like
you know maybe like your wife and and
your kid or whatever maybe
like not all your kids are there and so
you got like two or three people singing
and nobody can sing right and so they're
all off key
and now they're staring at you singing
happy birthday like
do i look down at the cake do i stare at
the fire on the candle
and what am i supposed to do and then
you start looking around like
i don't want to look at these people
while they're singing horribly to me
and i really hate that song so why would
i want to sing happy birthday
karaoke i don't get why it is so awkward
because
you know you've been in enough like zoom
meetings and
real meetings and had people staring at
you right
while something was actually expected of
you
right and you know i mean i've you know
been in meetings and i've also
you know played in front of a lot of
people playing soccer
but yeah the whole somebody's singing
happy birthday to you
not knowing what to do i don't think but
i don't think
anybody knows what to do yeah like i
mean you
you don't dance that's kind of awkward
yeah typically
you're sitting in a chair yeah you know
that's the other thing
and a lot of times when people are
singing happy birthday to you some
for some reason they've sat you down in
a chair because you're right by your
birthday cake right
and then everybody decides they're
supposed to be standing up
while they sing it it's like the
national anthem or something i mean are
you supposed to put your hand
over your heart when they're singing you
happy birthday i don't we need somebody
to figure out
exactly what needs to happen it should
be more like pin the tail on the donkey
you know maybe blindfold people so they
don't have to
look at you when you sing happy birthday
yeah i think on a metaphysical level
happy birthday when it's being sung to
you is the longest
song ever it it's gotta be yeah it does
seem like it just drags for an at least
an afternoon
and not only that what about the people
in this
i don't know if we even still do this as
a society anymore but
way back in the day remember at the end
of happy birthday ditto
and many more yeah on channel four
and scooby-doo and it's like
i mean people have their own versions
it's like we're we're still like trying
to drag this song
on even more like please stop oh yeah i
i specifically hate that and many more
thing
because i hold that with as much hatred
you know the song jingle bells right
right
when they do that uh after they're
laughing all the way and they do that
fake
that it's online with that i hate that
addition to jingle bells well
so do you hate that as much as the
extras in rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
the extras yeah so you have like you
know
is it rudolph pretty sure it's rudolph
you know so you got like rudolph the red
nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose
like a light bulb
you would even say it goes like a light
bulb now all of the other reindeers used
to
laugh and call him names like pinocchio
you know it makes that song
so freaking annoying and on top of that
then you've got to make sure everybody's
aligned with what little extras they
want to throw in there
yeah like the wouldn't play reindeer
games or whatever and then some people
say
like monopoly and some other people you
know would say
different crap it's just uh makes that
song even worse
oh man that was it so would you sing
rudolph the red-nosed reindeer at
karaoke no how did we get to christmas
music off of this question
um i think i would sing melancholy and
the infinite sadness
oh that would be good yeah especially if
you could play violin i can sing that
perfectly yeah maybe the theme to star
wars did you know there's words
to that song i think i did yeah yeah
there are words
to the star wars theme i don't know what
they are troopers
you can't fire worth a crap right
i think didn't carrie fisher sing it
on the holiday special i don't know no i
think she did
like and then there was that disco
version wow
oh it'd be terrible anyway i think this
next question is a bit redundant well it
is for me
what two radio stations do you listen to
in the car the most
so does xm radio count i suppose okay
radio station because i mean other than
xm radio
i don't i usually use like spotify
you know or something like that and
listen to a podcast or listen to music
or something like that
so the only radio station that i
listened to was lithium
on xm radio that's right and then
if dave matthews band comes on lithium
i shut the radio off right because
there's nothing that frustrates me more
than hearing dave matthews band
i i just cannot stand dave matthews band
i hope dave matthews isn't a podcast
listener but if you are
your voice sucks your music sucks i
can't stand you
yeah i bet he's canadian i bet that
guy's canadian and maybe that's why i
don't like it
but if canada needs a new national
anthem
it should be written by the dave
matthews band i like one song by david's
band
crash nah they all suck they're they're
all terrible that one song
every morning you know you just he
sounds like he's
got some kind of mental problem and then
he makes those faces and does those
stupid dances
and i just oh i can't stand that guy wow
so what's the second radio station or
was that
a constant answer no that's it i mean
if it's not on lithium then i mean i'm
switching over to my phone and just
streaming my phone through the
car stereo yeah but it seems like now
more days
if i'm not listening to something i'm on
the phone a lot in the car
like there are certain people like my
wife for instance she's one of those
people that
once she gets in the car that's when she
wants to talk on the phone
right like she gets i i know when she's
left the house
because she'll call me right like if i'm
on her rotation between like
you know some of her friends and maybe
her sister
and everything it's like oh lisa must be
driving right now because my phone's
ringing and you can
you know you can always tell when the
bluetooth and the car is on versus
you know somebody just talking to you
normally on the phone or whatever yeah
it's always her in the car
and then it's like okay will you please
put your seatbelt
on because i hear the seat belt dinging
through the phone through the bluetooth
and yeah i know we gotta talk because
you're in the car and you get bored
in the car by all means don't pay any
attention to the traffic on the road or
whatever just
talk on your phone but at least she's
got the hands-free deal now
sound advice yes yeah i don't actually
listen to the radio at all because
my first choice is the collection of
music on my phone which i have illegally
downloaded via bittorrent and so
obviously i can make my own playlists
right my second choice is just a station
i will have created on
spotify on the free version which i
currently use but you actually have the
premium version
well so i paid for spotify and i had
i i think it's called like family
premium or something like that because
we just had the one for a while yeah but
then
you know spotify started making these
bizarre recommendations to me it's like
oh we think you'd like to listen to the
backyard again so i'm like no
i don't really want to listen to the
backyardigans and so
i found out with the family one
everybody's got their own login
so i switched to the family one now they
all have their own logins and
all that stuff so now it's not
recommended in the backyard against
yeah anymore yeah actually i'd probably
be all right if i did the family plan
then because
like my girlfriend and i we like mostly
the same type of music
and you know if she likes something i
don't like i just tell her
don't like that anymore i told you yeah
i know it always stops liking it yeah
it's always better to have a family plan
especially you know when your boy
when he decides you know he's going to
start liking certain music or whatever
he's got he's got his own um completely
different
music on because he likes some crazy
stuff i don't want that diluting my
musical
exactly sound pool no that's why you
know it's almost like spotify as a
sponsor even though they're not
have a big on acid yeah there you go but
yeah i mean to have the
the individual accounts on spotify yeah
that's the way to go
yeah i think not only that i was trying
to make was i was being cheap
yeah well yes i mean that is one thing i
do spend money on but
here's the reason though i i'm being
cheap
by buying that because my wife and my
daughter
kept buying songs off itunes like
every single month i'd see these you
know whatever it was like a dollar
twenty or whatever a song
right and the problem is they they don't
listen to that song for very long like
it's a
popular song right now but in three
months nobody listens to that song
anymore
and so they were filling up their phones
with these songs like oh this is really
popular right now and then they would
listen to it over and over again
get themselves sick of that song that's
money gone
so i saved money by paying for spotify
to keep them from buying songs
because you can find any song yeah and
if i hadn't been
you know illegally downloading music via
bittorrent really if i wanted to listen
to a song again
and again i'd just go and use
youtube well that's true actually that's
easier than
just opening a you know browser page in
safari or something
and just keeping it open until you hate
the song
very good you know that rather than
spending money but you know
you're the one out there earning the
money that is true
and it's just like digging a knife in
you each time one of those songs was
purchased
absolutely and i'm thinking about it
right now i can't even
name one of the songs that they bought
and they probably couldn't either to
tell you the truth but
i have had spotify now for years
so yeah go spotify and if you would like
to give me a premium account
spotify a uh family plan
yeah or or give it to me too yeah that
way i'll stop paying for it all you got
to do is just free
line out you know i've already seen this
this is the biggest free ad
no kidding on a i mean it's popular
podcast you've probably ever had spotify
stuff right
step up yeah right
which would you rather do wash dishes
mow the lawn clean the bathroom or
vacuum the house is this just aimed at
women only
well except for the mow the lawn part
although there are a lot of ways to do
it because you can buy
lighter lawn mowers now and i think
that's the whole point of them
getting lighter because women and in
their strife for equality
wanted to be able to do things and men
were thinking
i'll pass off mowing the yard but she's
gonna [ __ ] that
it's too heavy push it pull it blah blah
blah
so i think that's when the industry saw
the eye for profit
and invented lighter lawnmowers for the
ladies
so are the the new lawn mowers that are
electric
are those lighter than the gas operated
ones
you know i don't know the answer to that
question
i don't either they kind of look cool
but if i had to pick between those four
it'd be mow the lawn yes at least you're
outside
i mean if you do it in the cool of the
day which basically in texas
is like when the sun comes up plus 30
minutes and then it's hot
that's not really that bad you know
you're outside
it's nice and cool you know you finish
up mowing the lawn
and then you know you go sit and you
crack open a beer and you look at your
freshly cut lawn like a
true old man does and you know take
pride in that
i mean washing the dishes to me that's
just
that sucks that's why i like paper
plates because i can just throw them
away
clean in the bathroom you know honestly
if you just go to the bathroom outside
you never have to clean the bathroom
and then vacuum in the house i hate
vacuuming
i really need to get one of those little
robot vacuums i think we've talked about
the robot vacuums before and
we know we love our robots we do love
our robots i really think i need to get
one of those robot vacuums
despite our discussion i think in the
last release we did of
in other news with that vacuum attacking
the korean woman
yeah by the hair and but but
i'm not going to take a nap on my living
room floor well also i want to hear the
robot side also because that seemed
very kind of a one-sided yeah
that was that was definitely a biased
news article you know
taking the side of the woman over the
robot for me
vacuuming definitely not because i find
it
super boring five minutes of vacuuming i
i could swear i've been doing it for
like 45 minutes
the only cool thing about vacuuming is
when you pick up those things that are
deep in the carpet it makes that crackly
noise you know where
you like run the vacuum over and you
know you actually did something
where it goes you know i'm gonna pick
stuff up i don't know if that's enough
of a constellation that's just like
the best thing about being stabbed is
the sound as the knife is
pulled out of your body i don't know if
it's really you know
well and once again you know these
people to vacuum
sure but that's the sad thing kind of
like what you're saying that's the best
part
of vacuuming there's no other good part
about that you can vacuum
the carpet and turn around and look and
say did i even do anything
right it doesn't look any better yeah
although my mom i remember years ago we
had this carpet
you know where you like you push it one
way and then you push it the other way
and you can kind of like almost draw on
it you know
because it kind of shades differently or
whatever and when my mom would vacuum
she would always
like vacuum these lines into the carpet
almost like baseball fields how they mow
them and you can see those lines in
there
right i wonder how they do that wait who
does the vacuum in at your house then
kids that's why you have kids i mean
that's the only reason to have kids is
to make them wash the dishes and mow the
lawn clean the bathrooms and vacuum the
house man that's
why i had so many kids i wanted to make
sure you know if you only have one kid
you know you have one kid right
and your kid gets older and now he's
gone now you have to do the chores
so you got to keep having kids so you've
got a backup plan
so if i've got one kid you know gone to
a friend's house or something like that
i still have three more remaining where
i can say hey you go vacuum you go do
the dishes and you go mow the lawn
and i'm going to sit here and do
something like watch hockey on tv
i don't know would it now be racist for
you to give your kids
those tasks giving your kids a half
hispanic
no that's that's why they're so good at
mowing the grass
half the time half the time yeah right
yeah
so yeah i don't want to clean the
bathroom
just because i use the bathroom so i
know what goes on in there
right and not only that but then you
just realize kind of how filthy you are
when you clean the bathroom well it's
not just that i look at it like
say you were telling some people to like
clean
a building okay but the building was
actually radioactive but that people
didn't know that
i think that's how it really is if
people clean the bathroom after i've
used it and they go in their innocent
thinking because it's not visibly that
that might go
on to probably kill me or right hurt my
upper respiratory tract in some way
i i think though we kind of messed up on
the
kind of explanation of this because
excuse me i just glanced down
and i noticed the next question if you
could
hire someone to help you would it be
with cleaning cooking or yard work
so i already figured out you don't have
to hire people if you have kids that is
true
although if the kids were smart
they would save their money and they
would hire people to take care of these
tasks
for them so i bet if my kids were gonna
hire somebody
it would be with cleaning now cooking i
like to cook we we've talked about
you know cooking before you like to cook
i like to cook i like to grill
all that stuff so i wouldn't want that
hired out yard work though yard work
sucks
i mean even the mowing the grass i
consider that
mowing the lawn that's in there with
yard work i mean i don't like doing that
just because i sweat a lot right yeah me
too
that's why i got to do it so early in
the morning you know before it's so hot
i mean if i wait till
i don't know say like even like nine or
ten o'clock
it's so hot and when i'm done i've sweat
all the way through all of my clothes
people to do that we're not doing that
but washing dishes i actually
kind of like washing dishes it's kind of
therapeutic to me
how was that therapeutic to watch
because i complete
i completely turned my brain off which
you can't really do with the other
things i mean you can't
turn your brain off while you're mowing
the lawn otherwise you're going to go
halfway across the street
true you can't do it clean in the
bathroom or you'll find your head in the
toilet or something and
you can do it while vacuuming the house
or you might do an unfortunate one down
the steps backwards so
really or you might accidentally
yeah but you might accidentally also
vacuum over somebody taking a nap
that's true so you can't turn your brain
well you've got to give them the full
robot experience true if they're going
to take a nap in your house yeah to be
honest
okay so i said well okay now hang on now
i'm going to have to disagree with you
because if you
totally turn your brain off when you're
washing the dishes you could drop the
dish
well totally turn off you know what i
mean i mean in the tournament something
you know the involuntary muscles within
your body would also stop working which
might lead to catastrophe and an even
worse dropping of the dishes instant
than the one you envisage and then and
then guess what you have to do
now you dropped a dish now you broke it
what do you have to do
sweep which is kind of like vacuuming so
that
would really suck right you've cr you've
created the most dystopian view
of doing the dishes yeah since the
women's liberation
i think so moving first kicked off i
think yeah yeah that's bad stuff
so if you could only eat one meal for
the rest of your life
what would it be let's expand it to dish
kind of thing so it's not just like oh
you can eat a turnip or
oh you know so can can i pick like side
items too or
oh just just main dish no no actually no
if it's like fish and chips or spaghetti
and blah blah blah no
dish yeah okay dish oh well i'd go with
steak
i mean i could eat steak breakfast lunch
and dinner
but if i can pick the side dish along
with it
it would be steak and seafood gumbo
i think it would depend on because i i
would say pizza
because i have many times in my life
eating pizza for breakfast
dinner supper well midnight
snack i do i do like pizza
but can i change the toppings because
pizza is my number one answer
if i can change the toppings so i don't
have to eat the same one each time
so no i think you'd have to eat the same
one each time just like that
well because i i could have said beef
yeah right and then now i've got
hamburgers i've got
steak i've got brisket i've got all that
so i narrowed mine down so yeah
my state fries mushrooms
and onion rings i could eat that all the
time
yeah onion rings with a steak though i'd
be a loud ass but
yeah yeah i didn't like that like
nothing but that but
it doesn't say like you've got to eat
like three
four meals of that a day i mean if
that's all you're eating
if you wanted you could spread that out
to like maybe one meal
out throughout the entire day because it
also depends you know what size steak
they're giving you as well
yeah that's a good point and you could
even narrow the whole steak down
surely you don't have to eat the whole
thing all the time as well so it's like
if you've eaten this kind of mid-morning
just towards lunch time and then you eat
it again later
but you're not in the mood for the onion
rings you don't have to eat the onion
rings
just because they're on the plate wow so
he's not forced to clear because it's
again we've taken what should have been
a dream idea into a dystopian
yeah but you also don't want to be
wasteful of the food
well who's doing this anyway it's got to
be by sponsorship or something it's
right i don't think this is a real
choice oh
okay yeah it's not like win yeah one
dish
can't you for the rest of your life that
makes sense yeah that makes sense
who is your favorite author i don't have
one
well i you know i i really don't i i
hear that question
a lot out of people you know and and a
lot of people usually have like this
immediate answers like oh stephen king
or uh what's the dude that wrote the uh
uh dan brown you know that's another one
that people
talk about uh then the women like that
uh twilight woman what's her name uh
stephanie myers or something like that
yeah
and then you know kids like that jk
rowling because of all the harry potter
books and
oh what's the dude that made the lord of
the rings it's got like
initial tokens yeah yeah you know that i
i don't have a favorite author though i
i don't like reading books
reading books takes too much effort i
would have had an answer for this
probably up until the age of 14 or 15
because i would have said stephen king
because i went through a period of
really liking
uh horror books and you know
i read a lot and he was kind of my
favorite at the time
but i think as i got older there wasn't
anybody who
if they released a book could be like oh
my goodness i must get that right
i've never been like that well that
that's where i consider that
favorite author yeah there's nobody yeah
well i say that but
but now i still went because i'd get it
on the internet for free anyway so it'd
be a waste of time for me to go out and
buy anything true that makes sense yeah
but anyway favorite author no i don't
really have one
because i if it's good then it's good
but i can guarantee you
99.99 reoccurring percent of the good
stuff out there neither of us have
read anyway so it's true to judge what
is good
right reading no i agree right
have you ever had a nickname and if so
what is it
no name's too short for a nickname
no never had a nickname really really
yeah i had a nickname
yeah funnily enough my nickname is
my name so there we go there you go
solve that one
i mean i i was in a motorcycle riding
club where i had a road name
slow ass no it but they were so lazy
with my road name because
my real name is max and then my road
name was
mad max i'm like wow y'all that is like
yeah that
that's some lazy lazy uh figuring on
that
but uh i was supposed to have a really
cool road name
and then they didn't give it to me my
road name was gonna be
pity pity pity yeah p-i-t-y
pity why is that a cool name i don't
know i just thought it was a
cool name it's like one of the miserable
horses of the apocalypse
yeah i know i i would have i would have
embraced it though
i i think you're better off without yeah
exactly
next one again they've thrown in like
four questions or so into this
do you like or dislike surprises you
know when people put something like that
you can just say
do you like surprises because when
somebody gives you the binary answer
of yes or no right kind of eliminates
the need to put in
or dislike yeah you know and then why
why or why why not yeah yeah that's kind
of ridiculous
yeah yeah i do not like surprises
i don't like surprises at all is that
because you've
not had a good experience with surprises
because i can guarantee
if you got home tonight and there was a
xbox series x there and i don't know
about a thousand
dollars worth of xbox uh store points
whatever
and um that was a surprise because i won
a couple in a raffle
and i left one for you that'd be a good
surprise wouldn't it so you can't say he
doesn't like surprises completely
it's just okay so i don't define that as
a surprise well it would be a surprise
no that would be a gift yeah but it's a
surprise gift
but it's still just a gift to this prize
i don't think i agree with you on that
one
i just think that's a gift i mean part
of getting a gift
is saying oh you got me something you
open it up you say oh
hey thanks you know most of the time
it's oh this sucks but now i gotta smile
and pretend like i like it
so i like to buy my own birthday
presents well yeah so i know that i get
you know what i want right but yeah no i
i still consider that a gift not a
surprise
right i just i want to know what's
coming i mean okay so
so let's go back to your example of the
xbox
yeah sitting there right yeah so you
leave this at my house as a surprise
right and then
i just came back from the store buying
the exact same thing
and if i would have known that was
sitting there i wouldn't have bought it
so now i'm pissed
yeah but knowing the odds of you being
able to actually go to a store
and buy an xbox series that should
actually have more chance of a
rattlesnake popping out of the one i
left for you outside of your front door
and biting you in the jugular and
killing you
i think i would have a better chance of
being able to go
to the store and buying one then you
leaving one at my front door that is
also true
so i'd have bought it to the studio yeah
yeah
so in the evening would you rather play
a game
visit a relative watch a movie or read
all right well we can scratch read off
the list because that's
just takes too much effort
once again why you don't like movies
with subtitles yeah
so here's the problem with this though
so would you rather play a game
i'm going to lump in video games in that
play
game so if i had to pick between those
four
i'd rather play a video game yeah but if
you force me to say oh no no not a video
game you know a board game or something
like that
then i would probably go to watch a
movie
versus you know play a board game or
something like that coming
board game you got to set everything up
get it out of the box
you're always missing some piece and you
know then you find it
a year later and you're like oh that
goes to monopoly and yeah then you
forget to put in the monopoly box
because you realize
you know the kids have been in there and
piled a bunch of stuff up on monopoly
and so
you just throw it in the junk drawer and
then once it's time to play monopoly
like
man where did i put the little car i
want to be the little car and i know i
saw the little car somewhere but i don't
remember where i put it yeah and then
watch a movie too
if you think about that it depends on
the movie
because there's a lot of times yeah i'm
assuming it's they mean of your choice
okay you're not going to put it on and
it be something with amy schumer in it
or something
it's right it's actually going to be it
okay yeah something
that you want to watch yeah something
that i get to pick or whatever because i
mean i enjoy
watching just like visit a relative i'm
assuming it means the live
ones and you know maybe one which you
prefer over the other
right yeah so you know but you could
spin that question into
which would you rather do play a game
you hate visit a relative you don't like
watch a movie you hate or
read and i still wouldn't pick read yeah
even though you didn't play
any exclusive right right i'd definitely
go for
playing a video game to be honest i'll
tell you what and this kind of tops your
dislike of board games okay my
girlfriend has a lot of board games in
the house
upstairs in the game room which you know
her daughters used to play
and they're on like bookshelves and
stuff right in the game room
and every now and then xander will
wander over there curiously
you know to look at them and i'm always
like xander no
leave them alone mate they're nothing go
play on your ipad right
so i'm teaching them board games are
stupid no just telling board games are
horrible decorations that some people
just have really bad taste
i mean the only board game i really i
like is chess
and that's easier playing on my phone or
on the computer anyway because you want
to play against
somebody who either sucks or can kick
you back whereas if you have to play it
physically all the time it's like how
many people can you invite around your
house to play chess
right well i think a lot more people
used to play chess back in the day
because they didn't have any
other forms of entertainment yeah you
know it's just like in the movie hateful
eight where they're you know sitting
there playing chess
yeah but they also had a lot of alcohol
so that's true you could have chosen the
do nothing and watch and fall asleep
would you rather vacation in hawaii
or alaska and why that's a tough one
i've never been to either place so you
know you could do that whole
you know check off somewhere you haven't
been by
me choosing either one of them but i've
heard some
bad things about hawaii like that it's
not as great as everybody makes it out
to be
i guess one good thing is at least
you're still in america
you know so you don't have to get a
passport you don't have to
change your money over anything like
that
and i don't think alaska is really as
cold as everybody says
you know if you get in the southern part
but maybe it is i don't know
if anybody from alaska is listening
perhaps you can
email us at the wolf and shepherd gmail
dot com and let us know if it warms up a
little bit
at some point during the year it's true
i've always heard though that the
weather weather's good in hawaii
because it's i guess it's pretty close
to the equator
i think i'd think i'd have to pick
hawaii what about you which one would
you pick
well i've never been to alaska and
i think i'd like to see some of the
wildlife parks there
oh yeah that's true i have been
to hawaii and it's still my favorite
ever vacation
so still between hawaii and alaska
i'd still go to hawaii i've already been
there yeah but
wouldn't you rather go somewhere you
haven't been
no see i don't like going to the same
place
but it doesn't mean i'm not ever going
to go to galveston again right
well that makes sense i just i like
going new places i don't like going to
the same place
over and over again all right el
salvador is for you next
vacation then would you rather win the
lottery
or work at the perfect job and why
lottery yeah well what would your
perfect job be
i don't know but see if i won the
lottery then i could
have enough money to start my own thing
and whether or not it made any money i
wouldn't care because i won the lottery
so that would be kind of the perfect job
it's like you do whatever you want to do
and if it costs you money you got your
lottery winnings to cover that
so yeah there you go the only scenario
there where that would fail
as if your perfect job if it's
something which would not be possible
under normal circumstances even with all
the money in the world
or as opposed to well i don't know say
like your perfect job was
like flying in the sky by flapping your
arms
like a bird chasing unicorns and kissing
their buttholes and pulling their tails
i mean
okay all right that might be a perfect
job and that'd be yeah we can grant you
your perfect job right
i see as obviously what the other way
winning the lottery whereas you would
not be able to buy that
you know doing the old stuff with the
unicorns so like maybe like a
professional golfer right
so with all the money in the world you
could probably
go you know get golf lessons and do all
that but you wouldn't necessarily have
the natural talent to be able to get a
pga tour card to actually go on the tour
where if somebody granted you you're now
a professional golfer
yeah i see see your answer is crap
no i'm still sticking with the lottery
okay well
i think personally the lottery for me
yeah exactly because i figured well once
we talked all the way through that i
mean and now you don't have to worry
about money so you can do whatever you
want yeah
thankfully my fantasy does involve
unicorns unicorns which nowadays i think
people can
dress up donkeys quite convincingly to
kind of at least fool you especially if
i take my contact lenses out so
yeah you know some money can by your
happiness
the story that's true yeah absolutely
true
yeah who would you want to be stranded
with
on a deserted island somehow like i was
answering for you yeah
somehow for enough yeah
now now i'm still good i'm still good
um oh my word
i don't know the selfish part of me
would say
my son because i'd like if i had to be
stranded with somebody i'd rather
you know be with him as he grew up and
share the time together but also you
know
he was just stuck on a desert island
right with me yeah that's
the most interesting thing in the world
so i can't really choose him exactly
that's it's the easiest route right but
it's yeah but it's easy to do that
because
yeah so she could teach me how to surf
and we could wrestle yeah but then
if she taught you how to surf what if
y'all surf away from the island
well i'm pretty sure salmon hayek
doesn't know how to surf well also
you know storm could hit and kill us so
you've got to live you've got to seize
the day
that's true yeah dm yep so what was your
answer then
summer hike oh yeah of course it was
there yeah
it was just so quick and i answered for
you that i didn't
i thought you stole it is another one
which sounds familiar
if money was no object what would you do
all day sleep
but surely at some point you would have
caught up with where you're kind of like
you can get eight hours of sleep a day
and it'd be
enough because you're not recovering
from the lack of sleep previously oh
that's true
see at that point you might actually
want to do something yeah
probably after about like two or three
months of sleeping
you probably get bored with that and
then like you know i've got all this
money laying around ought to do
something with it
probably buy a really nice bed yeah yeah
so i can sleep yeah yeah improve the
quality
one of those adjustable beds you know
where you can like sit up in it
yeah then i wouldn't have to get out of
bed yeah that'd be nice
again i don't want to commit to doing
something all day
even if it's sleeping right right so i
have
a little bit trouble with this because
pretty much most of what i do
every day is what i think i'm happy
doing anyway
so i don't know other than a few things
here and there
which certainly wouldn't take all day
that you know i really would want
i don't know if money would buy me
something that i wanted to do
all day yeah and then sleep well that's
the only thing you could
really consistently do for a huge chunk
every day and actually kind of enjoy it
yeah and then if you had all the money
in the world you could buy a lot of
sleeping pills to keep you asleep yeah
then you'd be really well rested right
in in the bed
you got to buy the bed first right like
a really good yeah
not that you know sealy posturepedic i
mean we're talking
high-end bed i mean we're talking at
least like six seven hundred bucks
walmart.com got some great deals yeah
what's that
what's that other one that was selling
the kids online oh wifi
wayfarer yeah yeah i bet you can find
one yeah plus they
come with a free servant yeah
it's awful nice yeah if you could go
back in time
what year would you travel to before you
answer this okay
let's assume that this isn't like a bill
and ted excellent adventure
time visit this is a you go back there
and that's where you have to live from
ongoing
okay you right so so you can't just like
bounce back is what you're saying like
you got to go back in time and that's
where you're going to be it's going to
be a full-out commitment
and it's got to be backwards oh gosh
what would it be
probably like 92 yeah why
would be nice to go back to like well no
maybe like 91
like 90 91 somewhere around in there to
go see all of the really good
alternative rock bands
live you know like nirvana can't see
them anymore i mean i know there's still
some that tour around right like
smashing pumpkins is still touring and
guys like that but you you've got the
death of kurt cobain so you can never
see nirvana the way it was
and you know so many deaths in there
but to see those bands like in little
clubs
like go see nirvana at a show where
there's like 20 people
like to me that would be cool yeah but
and you still have air conditioning and
decent amount of technology
you know 92 decent technology where you
got
decent amount of technology video
yeah video consoles you've still got
yeah you've got video games
you've got cell phones the internet
genesis
you got america online you know all that
so you still
yeah oh yeah yeah uh
yeah you had a bit earlier than we did
well it was america online yeah
i don't know because i don't know if
there's anything which i would want to
go
back for just to experience
then oh but think of just because how
long
how many well remember yeah but remember
live would it take before the novelty
wore off well
yeah but then you have several other
bands but remember you're going back in
time
from today yeah so you're carrying that
knowledge around with you too
so it's like oh but that's an addition
to your original
ah but yeah but you didn't have that as
a caveat that it just starts over so you
know all this stuff so it's like oh i'm
gonna go buy
20 000 bitcoins for a penny a piece
even though you'll have to wait till
2007
well yeah but you know that's eventually
coming right so you you know
all these things are coming that you can
kind of hedge your benefits
to save your money up yeah well all you
got to do is just put a little bit of
money
aside and then you buy all that then you
you know you're going to be set
and you also know all the stuff that's
going on with the stock market and
everything else so
it's kind of like uh ironically kind of
like in back to the future you know
where you get the sports almanac
yeah you know that's that's what his
whole idea was so you're still
you still have the technology it's still
kind of the modern world i mean it would
be cool to go to the old west or
or go to colonial america or stuff like
that but
i know it would die well it'd be cool to
over romanticize
right but it'd be cool to see it but i
wouldn't want to
i'd want to be able to jump back see
your caveat was you can't jump back
you got to stay there that's why i
didn't want to go back too far
right right there yeah i mean your
second art series i think pretty much
what most people would say but that's
really just a uh perk of going back in
time
right but i guess your real answer then
going back to 92 to see the band's life
so that's really your answer because
your second part is pretty much
just a part and parcel of the yeah thing
anyway
um i don't know if there is really an
event
or era which you'd want to go back to
because we're assuming you're going back
but you as old as you'd be at that time
not you taking your old ass back in time
now because a lot of
your concert experiences would be ruined
by a bunch of younger kids looking at
you and spitting at you and telling you
to get out granddad
yeah that's a good point you want to get
back
but so is she wearing a knife well no
i'd want to be
older than i was in 92 but probably not
much older
and i'd want to be at least 21 to really
enjoy it
yeah but now we're kind of bastardizing
the whole question
so so now there's all these other you
know check marks that we got to do
so all right yeah okay how would your
friends describe you
i have no idea elijah starts this one
yeah go for it yeah yeah
smug egotistical chauvinistic probably
that'd be where i would go right yeah
yeah probably those things and
i don't know really i don't know if i
could be bothered to describe you to
anybody yeah
i think they asked
what are your hobbies i don't have any
hobbies hobbies take too much time
wow it's true and they get expensive too
no you could say video games
if you do because that's something yeah
playing video games yeah okay what's
playing video games as a hobby
it's not a profession is it except for a
few people yeah but it can be a
professional
yes i can pretty much anything yeah i
guess like fishing
most people consider fishing a hobby but
there are professional fishermen yeah
golf could be a hobby and there's
professional golfers yeah i think they
get the idea mate yeah
hunting hunting is kind of a hobby but
you could be a professional hunter
yeah driving yeah you know some people
have like classic cars and
you know kind of make a hobby out of
that yeah you could be a race car driver
yeah that's a professional that is true
so i bet there's a lot of other examples
i just can't think of it right now
yeah maybe we should do a podcast about
hobbies that can also be professional
things like some people like
you know have a pilot's license and like
flying for pleasure whereas that's true
professional pilots and get paid by
airlines well in cooking
you know cooking is a hobby but then you
have like martha stewart
and she does it as a professional yeah
so does gordon ramsay yeah i bet it
started out as a hobby
and right now it's a professional
necessity so does that mean
if you get a hobby and you get really
good at
it then it turns into a job and now you
don't really like it as much as you do
when it becomes a hobby well it becomes
professional the moment
you make money out of it well i know but
then
so even if you cooked as a hobby but
happened to kind of sell on
local facebook marketplace or some crap
cakes the you know experts you make and
you make money out of it
i wouldn't say that makes you a
professional chef or a professional
baker
so i don't know i think it has to be an
income which
if that constitutes the majority of the
money you earn
then that's that your profession you're
a professional whatever
see i think a lot of people though call
themselves professionals
at things but don't make enough money to
really support it and that's where that
whole day job comes from right
you know it's like oh i've got a day job
but i'm really
uh baker you know or something like that
it's like i go sit in an office from
nine to five monday through friday
but at night i bake cupcakes and sell
them on facebook
it's like that in a other news article
we did the other day about the guy who
was an
unemployed waiter there you go yeah
no mate you're just unemployed right
yeah you literally
nothing yeah i want to be an unemployed
pilot
right yeah you could literally say
anything it doesn't matter that you've
never had that career
so you take that knowledge back to 1992
see the damage you could do with that
tip
there you go yeah what is the best gift
you have
ever been given assuming my xbox series
x thing from earlier was
entirely fictitious right gosh best gift
i'd probably so i kind of got to go back
to you
you know my childhood because it always
seems like you know the childhood gifts
kind of hit a little bit harder than the
gifts you know when you
get a little bit older i mean obviously
the ones as i've gotten older
have probably been more expensive and in
this that and the other
but i remember getting my nintendo
entertainment system
back in the 80s when i was a kid yeah
that was
that was a big one that was a christmas
present and you know i got the
super mario brothers duck hunt version
you know so i've got the
little laser gun with the controller and
all that good stuff that that probably
be the one that
really rings true like it immediately
popped in my head like
that nintendo i just i remember getting
that and that was
huge and i was like probably one of the
last of my friends that got one too
i grew up extremely poor i think a bbc
acorn electron personal computer
bbc acorn electron
ah i never included that yeah they
didn't have those over here
yeah it was a really good personal
computer compared to everything else
which was available at the time because
sinclair came out with the like zx80
zx81 zx spectrum
but if you really wanted to be a serious
you know
computer user you'd have a bbc and there
was like a bbc master
which was quite an expensive system
and then there was the cheaper version
of it called the acorn electron
okay um and you know i mean i
absolutely loved it because i mean not
only could you play really good games on
it
you know you could all say which is
pretty serious yeah but pretty much
the computer the only thing a computer
is good for is playing games and
downloading content
off of pirate sites well obviously this
was a long time
ago before the internet so this is when
you had to back it up to cassette tape
right and stuff all right
yeah what is the worst gift you have
received
i don't know i mean i've gotten a lot of
crap
over the years i guess the worst gift i
ever received was at
christmas this was probably about
17 years ago or so back when i was a
farmer's insurance agent
i got a broken clock
i'm not kidding you i my present
was a broken clock was it deliberately
broken
i don't wasn't supposed to be kind of
representing something
no i think it was a clock that was
supposed to work
and then it didn't work well didn't you
send it back to get another one
well i know that's inconvenient but if
it had worked would it still be the
worst gift you've ever received was it
just the fact it was broken
i think even if it would have worked it
would have still been the worst gift
i've ever seen oh wow
yeah just like clocks yeah so so
basically you're looking
at worst gift ever and on top of that
didn't work
yeah yeah it sucked
i had that clock for exactly
30 minutes maybe i mean i remember
walking out of the place
realizing it was broken and just leaving
it in the parking lot
see i don't really have an answer
because i don't think
i mean i guess i could answer the lamest
because you know we've all had those
gifts of like alex paris songs or
something
yeah or an ugly tie or something like
that yeah so but
in terms of worst and what that's
supposed to
constitute i haven't really had any bad
gifts now i do remember um
i think it's on a ricky gervais podcast
he was reading out a list
of uh worst gifts people have ever
received or
you know gifts that didn't make sense
and
one guy wrote in and said he received
from his parents
on his birthday a book about crude oil
he said and this is despite the fact
that i have never expressed an interest
in oil of any type
specifically crude oil
not only that but thankfully no one that
i remember
has ever given me a book as a gift
because i know i won't read it
but that i'm glad i haven't received a
book
as a gift well no i take that back
because i did get a cookbook one time
as a gift and actually i think i used it
one time
because i looked up something yeah but
yeah a book would be a terrible gift to
give me
you see i wouldn't mind a cookie unless
it's gone because i'd really just
give it to my girlfriend because she
likes reading out of cookbooks to well
for recipes i read gifts like the
internet's not invented or something
let's talk about that for a second what
is so bad about re-gifting things
nothing why is there such a negative
connotation on
re-gifting things i think well you ask
that question but i think it's within
limits because i think people assume
that oh of it's not good enough for them
then you know but they think it's good
enough for me or
that i think a little bit of pride thing
but i would assume that would
immediately go out of the window
regardless of the reason it has
re-gifted if
somebody like re-gifted you a yacht
well exactly they could say the lamest
reason
and it might be that like i'm giving you
this shot because
i hope you get so happy you fall over
there side and drown you'd still be like
thank you very much
right okay so let's go back to your xbox
series exactly
right yeah so let's say you give me this
xbox series x
right and i just went and bought one
yeah now i'm thinking
well eric doesn't have one and now i
have two
what am i going to do with two of course
i would stay somewhere
exactly but i could re-gift that
to eric and it would make him happy and
i don't think he would really care where
it came from
right or why yeah yeah and to be quite
honest with you if i
if you gave me an xbox right and now
i've already now i've got two
and i gave it to eric and i would
probably even say hey
tristan gave me this i'm going to give
it to you
and now you even look good in this right
now
other than the fact he might call you up
and say why'd you give it to max and not
to me
he already had one right and then you'd
say well i didn't know he had one yeah
but of course in this fictional example
we're never going to give each other
xboxes so yeah even we don't have one
right which you know the way it
continues it died when was it released
last week was last year yeah before
christmas i thought it was like
well it was in the fall yeah it was
before christmas because it was supposed
to be you know
the hot christmas get that in the
playstation 5 right
but yeah you still can't get one at the
store yeah it sucks
or online unless you're really well no
because all the bots are buying them on
again
so you know even though those little
articles come out right and it's like oh
yeah you know best buy is supposed to
get a shipment of xbox series x's today
yeah and then you go by the time you've
read the article and then like oh well
let me check the best buy website well
they're all gone
and all that happens at stores like
gamestop is like the people who work
there when they know shipments are
coming in
they let their friends know their
friends buy them
and then they sell them online for like
twice as much and then give the person
who told them you know a kickback so
exactly it's almost i remember when
possible
when that series x came out what what's
the one that
doesn't have the disk drive the s the
series
the series s so it's basically it's it's
not as good as the x
but uh the specs are lower as well yeah
it's right the fact it's digital only
yeah
and i started to get one because i was
on
you know the website i don't remember
which uh store it was
and they actually had one like you know
it was like a
pick it up today type thing i think it
was walmart or something like that
i actually called the old lady and i'm
like look i literally can buy this
xbox right now but it's not the one that
i want
should i buy it and then resell it like
everybody else is doing
and she said you realize the amount of
work that's going to take for you to do
and i said oh that's true and i just
cancelled it
yeah i mean the s is um i don't think
there's any weight if you go online
you'll find those somewhere i don't
think they've been uh
prices have been hiked up too much but
you know i think the good news is
by the time we put this podcast out even
if we waited a year
it would probably hold up because maybe
even in a year you still can't get an
xbox right
the um worst thing about receiving a
gift
i just remember this right is when a
group of people around you
are watching you unwrap it and you have
to find
being really ecstatic about it and you
might
it might not be that you dislike the
gift you might even like the gift but
not be able to exude enough excitement
to satisfy the viewership who then you
start becoming paranoid that they're
walking away thinking that ungrateful
little piece of crap
right no i i see your point there
because like
you know it's kind of different you know
like you you have those kids reactions
right you know when they
open the gifts on christmas morning or
whatever and they're all excited that
they got this that or the other
i mean i i open up gifts and i'm like oh
that's cool
thanks you know i don't jump up and down
for joy
whenever i you know open something up i
mean even if it's something
like i gotta be honest with you if you
gave me an xbox series x
i'd be grateful i'd be appreciative but
i'm not gonna put a show on for you
you know and and that is it my wife is
really good i think you know
i think you would give me a bit of a hug
because she'd be that great
maybe a fist bump yeah maybe no women
women are great at doing that whole fake
yeah they are anything yep which is
worrying which is
you know really kind of explains why the
serpent went for the woman and not the
man to be
sure absolutely because you know the
serpent knew
she'd be all excited about the world he
knew
that she could fake it well enough to
adam to sell it that's true you know but
see
you know think about that that's like
the first gift ever given was that apple
right
so not only was it
let's call it an apple makes it easier
you know adam had to be saying
well you know see what i get for taking
a gift from you
i mean now we just ruined everybody's
life
for eternity right you know until the
end of time so to speak
if if she would have just not given him
that apple
imagine where we'd be so what was my
point
[Music]
don't take apples from women oh no women
being able to fake things
yeah i mean it's that and we've
discussed this before and even on the
podcast
probably more than once actually the
women always put on this
thing of like especially when it comes
to their friends that
they champion everything that their
friends do so if they see a post on
facebook and their friend is
you know by his their female friend
weighs
316 pounds and you know
somehow she overslept for
half a day and lost four pounds and then
posts a picture of herself still
weighing over 300 pounds
on facebook and says oh i lost weight
today
you know all her girlfriends on there
are gonna be girl you look so
fabulous oh my goodness you look like a
model
oh you're owning it blessed
you know all this stuff i mean blatantly
if this wasn't your friend
ironically another woman would read it
and be like what a bunch of crap she's
still fat yeah but here
here's the other problem so they're
doing that right they're
saying blessed oh you're fabulous and
they're gritting their teeth as they
type that in there too because they're
like uh i don't
like you it's what was that old saying
you know men don't understand women but
women
understand women and hate each other you
know basically
the same thing well one thing i can't
understand
is that whenever a woman tells you like
during those times well i mean i don't
know about you because you were dating
your girlfriend from like kindergarten
right um your wife is when women
always when they try and set up you know
a male friend with one of their female
friends
that you cannot with any degree
of accuracy take their word when they
say
oh she's really pretty she's really
gorgeous absolutely
because you know the number of well i
mean even friends female friends who've
shown me pictures of their friends and
goes
oh she's really pretty you look at the
photo like
no switch to the photo the pretty one
not the right one
yeah this one yeah this is still the
same are you testing me here
right yeah um lisa lisa has
two friends that i would consider
pretty but the rest of them man they are
ugly and i'm convinced they're friends
with lisa
because of that what they call the
cheerleader effect right
so when they get in a picture with lisa
they look better
yeah you know have you heard of this
cheerleader you know that
the prettiest girl in the picture will
make the uglier
ones look better whatever yeah i'm
convinced that's why lisa has so many
friends because they just want her for
the pictures
because i look at some of the pictures
and it's like oh girls nine i'm like oh
damn it looks like cows night i mean
that is
that is not a fun picture to look at
yeah and
that waiter must have been like man yes
some of these women come from yeah i
feel sorry for their husbands too
but their husbands made that choice that
is true so it's kind of on them so now i
don't feel sorry for them just to
prove that we're not being sizes when
you call
women cows you mean having the facial
features exactly
yeah not the weight not the no not the
weight
they can do something about the weight
but they can't do anything about the
face but
you know that's why they use so much
makeup yeah
yeah and it's been getting more and more
intense recently i've seen a few
not only the makeup but all those
filters and everything else they put on
themselves
no i mean in real life oh well like i've
noticed they've been slapping it on
even more yeah well i think there's a
lot of those uh like kardashian type
people that
you know have all these makeup lines and
they do these videos of how to do
what is it called contouring or
something like that where i guess it
literally
changes the shape of your face
let off the eyebrows a little bit
because there was a period when
that whole slug eyebrow thing was
really really popular eyebrows yeah i
mean like
well i mean really really thick like oh
you know russian gadget old men type
eyebrows
yeah um that did just kind of go away
yeah and you know
colored black right for maximum effect
but yeah that looked ridiculous i mean
there's still a few
thinner versions of that out there which
look a bit stupid but then remember the
whole
eyelashes thing suddenly jumped in
overnight right along with the murder
hornets
yeah there's always going to be some
beauty trend you know
and i think that's where they get the
influencers out there to
throw it on and then somebody's like oh
i want to be just like that person so
then they start buying all that stuff
i don't really understand the whole
eyebrow thing or the eyelash thing now
they are
actually in terms of thickening it i
mean there's always been eyelash you
know
stuff which thickens it up for women
with either pale eyelashes or they don't
have many hairs and their eyelashes but
this fake eyelashes is in terms of
sticking this realm of
i don't get that i don't i get that but
you know what animal does have big
luscious eyelashes
a cow oh that's true
yeah and they get flies landing on them
yeah i feel sorry for the cows when the
flies land on
their eyelashes because cow can't help
it dude i'm just out here trying to be a
cow
and plus i've got a big stinky bat
behind me there what leave the eyes
alone yeah
go for the butt that's when the boot
comes out well i think they stay away
from there though because they swing
their tails around all the time
yeah have you seen them it's not the
fastest thing in the world
well no i mean they're not dogs i mean
dogs are happy that's why they wagged
their tails
cows are upset because they're a cow and
it kind of the weight the gravity takes
over and then there's just a little bit
of a flap
right you know nothing intimidating but
then flies are basically chemotropic and
unable to
form a better line of attacks no really
that's true how about that so aside from
necessities
what one thing could you not go a day
without
aside from necessities yeah well their
necessities
yeah but if there's one thing you can't
go without
doesn't that immediately now become a
necessity
no i think it means necessities as in
like
let's take say the difference between
needs and wants as in like this
this is a one you're gonna throw in with
the needs
well if i can't do without it though
it's a necessity well
yeah but but by definitely you can do
without it
but this is just if you had to choose
because like let's divide everything up
between needs and wants
okay all right now there's a lot of
things in the wants which you really
like
but you don't have to have it's not an
assessed you give me an example give me
an example all right
uh playing basketball right say you
loved playing basketball
no give no give me a give me an example
of something dude
but you could go through your day not
playing basketball you wouldn't care
but i don't i don't want to play
basketball what if that was your
favorite thing
out of everything you did and so someone
said hey
we can throw basketball in with the
needs things and now you can get to
choose this as one of your priorities
but i think if you have to play
basketball you have a mental issue
well yeah all right um it's an example
use
no i don't use basketball i say i need a
good in
anything no i need a good example wolf
toss in
that's a necessity that's not a that's
not a one and you haven't even done that
so that's i know which is yeah mind you
that is a want and a need
yeah but see there are people that have
needs that those needs aren't fulfilled
i need to go dwarf tossing yeah and that
need has not been fulfilled yet
yeah that's right i think that's just a
crap question
is it yeah because i don't yeah that's
what could i not kind of yeah that's a
crap question it is
i mean my needs are my needs i got to
fill my needs yeah so
yeah all right list two pet peeves
answering a bunch of questions that's
got to be one of my pet peeves
especially like ones we have to give
multiple answers yeah
and canadians yeah canadian cats
canadian cats canadian mean cats
right yeah um and dave matthews band
yeah um two pet peeves
all right people who don't signal i know
that's pretty a basic
one but that annoys me
somebody got actually a stop sign the
other day somebody actually gave me the
finger
because they wanted to turn but didn't
signal and
you know what normally happens of you
and somebody else get there at the same
time but like you know you're either
both going this
you know straight on or one of you is
turning off you don't wait for that
person to do all the time so anyway
so i started going straight across
because he wasn't signaling so it looks
like he was
going straight instead he was going to
turn across me and he
put his window down and stuck his finger
up at me yeah yeah and then he probably
realized oh i don't have my turn signal
you know i mean i he couldn't have been
from texas you don't do that texas
because
if i had been less of a nicer wolf i
would have just reached behind the seat
and
shot him shut him in the face yes you
know so that's a silly thing today
i guarantee you that guy was probably
from california no way
do you i mean like if you ask i don't
know kindergartners or maybe first
graders if that's a good idea to do that
to somebody while they're driving
they'd be like no no not in texas
you know i mean the least thing that
would happen is you'd throw your beer at
him
right yeah i mean and then if you really
were mad
you throw your beer at him and then
shoot him i mean that happens on a daily
basis
in texas yeah one of my friends actually
posted a meme a few months ago which
said uh
if you're driving and don't have time to
fight
then don't honk at me
something similar that's quite right
right anyway second pet pave
uh not using your turn signals is one
other pet peeve um you know what's
actually worse than not
using your turn signal though when
driving is having your turn signal on
and not turning
yeah i so that happened to me last week
i had connor with me in the car right
well i'll stick it under incorrect usage
yeah let's do an incorrect usage of
signal
because i was at a stop sign dude's
coming up
on the road and he's got his right turn
signal on
and i've started to pull out yeah and
the guy didn't turn
i mean he would have broadsided me he
had a t-boned me and i told connor i was
like you know
i think that might be worse than not
using a turn signal
is having the turn signal on and then
not turning all right
so let's file the pet peeve as improper
use of turn signal oh my goodness i can
give you an example of that on the way
to cu
today okay um i was obviously coming
from the gas station
yeah and i was gonna turn
and this car looked like it was going
straight on so i timed it but instead he
turned right just pretty much almost
stopped and turned but then
obviously slowed his speed so i'd
already committed to going across the
road
and then there was this other car coming
behind him super fast which
ended up honking me and i was like and
this is yeah because somebody turned
without using their signals yeah there
you go
i'm gonna yeah all right then i'm gonna
use uh turn signals for both of mine
there you go splice up where do you see
yourself in five years
now i don't know this is supposed to be
realistic this is this is one of those
like horrible interview questions yeah
you know it's like
so where do you see yourself in five
years yeah
who knows you know yeah i don't know
five years older i guess
i don't know maybe it means like
career-wise do you see yourself as head
of your company
um do yourself to see yourself divorced
and married to salma hayek
except like i said i don't know whether
it means fantasy actors isn't
really what you'd like to be doing in
five years or what realistically
will happen in five years hmm i have no
idea
i don't even know what i'm doing
tomorrow yeah
i'm gonna i'm gonna sleep though
tomorrow
well
oh yeah okay yeah yeah you can commit to
that
yeah five years time uh probably doing
what i'm doing now really yeah
i don't know i mean yeah me too like i
say i think i'm gonna be doing the same
thing just
i'll be five years older yeah i'll be a
few more gray hairs
yeah a few more pounds yeah
still miserable still hating canadians
and dave matthews band
i guaran you know after we're done with
this i'm gonna look it up i'm almost
certain dave matthews has got to be
canadian
you think say i don't know why i'm so
angry at him right now but just
just thinking about dave matthews band
makes me
extremely angry on a canadian level on a
very canadian level
like i i haven't read ahead
into any of these questions but if you
if one of the questions were what is the
worst possible thing
that you would ever have to do it would
be going to a dave matthews band concert
in canada surrounded by cats
right that that's what hell like if
everybody has their own personal hell
mine is going to a dave matthews band
concert that never ends
in canada surrounded by cats i thought
your disdain
for caps was a not total because
obviously we do have
there are good guys exceptions but also
limited
to numbers of cats involved like it's
easy
to kind of um you know gain some dislike
or distrust even of one or two cats or
even you know a handful of cats
but right surely if you're at dave
matthews band
concert right and you were surrounded by
like
thousands of cats surely the humor of
those
cats and what they would be doing and
everything you could temporarily
put up with if for no other reason then
just to be able to tell the
story is a true one that you wouldn't
actually
hate that experience but
we all know cats are actually a little
bit smart right
yeah so here's the problem with my
scenario right the cats
also hate dave matthews band oh so
they're kind of cat a whaling
is they're not kind of right right
they're as miserable as i am being there
right i mean it so you got me and then
every cat in the world that hates dave
matthews band
yeah seeing dave matthews band in here
you know it's happening
in the morning all that crap it would oh
i'm i'm literally getting angry right
now you're thinking about dave matthew
you've done that noise today right to
represent the
sound of dave matthews
that's literally if i had a stereotype
dave matthews bad i'd be
because that's how he sings that and
that kind of like no he doesn't
no he doesn't it's he right her name
it sounds just like that like i could do
that right now at karaoke
people would have their eyes closed and
be like oh dave matthews is
in a different language yeah but no
that's a that's exactly how it sounds
like if we didn't have these ridiculous
regulations about what we could put out
you know on a podcast or whatever either
any
oh that's true well now apple gets a
little upset
if you put copyrighted material on
that's right so what i
i would literally i need and as much as
this
hurts for me to say i would literally
just play that three seconds
of that dave matthews band song and you
would say yes
you do sound just like dave matthews
that he brings up in that morning
that is a dead ringer for it that is
exactly
how that stupid song sounds god i hate
that song
yeah i hate dave matthews and i hate
that song i am
so mad so mad right now like
thinking about dave matthews like how in
the hell
did he get a record contract like what
producer
was sitting there saying hey this guy's
a great singer
let's get his goofy ass up there to do
that stupid dance and make those faces
and make that horrible horrible music
and then there's these morons that pay
money to see it
yeah does not make any sense god i hate
dave matthews
but on that note we do not currently yet
have a band as the sponsor of the show
if
david is no one no representatives no
no no stop right there if dave matthews
band sponsors his podcast i quit
i quit i don't it's one of those deals
where we've always joked about you know
hey
we have alien ale as our sponsor but you
know what
if miller lite comes along and offers us
a billion dollars then
you know we'll take that i don't care if
dave matthews band
offered us the world i would still quit
no
i couldn't do it i have a few guests as
well which i can
it wouldn't matter how much money i was
paid i could not get the money
if whatever record company came to us
and said
we will pay you guys 110 billion
dollars to have dave matthews on as a
guest
i would do it and here's why because i'd
kill dave matthews and you'd get away
with it with all that money
yeah yeah yeah cause i could get i could
re uh johnny cochran's dead though well
no
listen all you have to do is pay for
yourself to be doing
something so you have a great alibi with
like lots and lots of witnesses yeah but
who's the new johnny cochran
like he was the best lawyer ever i don't
know there's no
best lawyers hammer the one who's on the
gym like jim adler jim adler the texas
hammer it will hammer hammer hammer out
a deal for you yeah but
we need a new johnny cochran like there
there is judge judy
well she's a judge though i guess i mean
technically she's a lawyer
if she's a judge but who is we got to
find out who the new johnny cochran is
you just really haven't had like a high
profile case that somebody
gets off never heard of the old johnny
cochran you don't know who johnny
cochran is
i was oj's lawyer oh and yeah
if it does not fit you must acquit right
yeah be johnny cochran i mean that guy's
the greatest lawyer in the world
yeah how was there other than the oj
movie right you know that you had the
series and you had the movies has there
not been a movie about johnny cochran
that's
got to be kind of an interesting story
yeah
we could at least make one out of it
this is based on true events
right they both brushed their teeth i
would have been mad though
if dave matthews was gonna go to prison
and somehow was able to hire johnny
cochran and johnny cochran got him off
then i would hate johnny cochran yeah i
wonder if there's a way that dave
matthews could go to prison
well the thing is these days it'd still
be like be able to record and
it'd be like prison the prison tapes you
know well like johnny cash did right
yeah hang on hang on i think i'm on to
something
we need to reform wait we can agree that
we probably need to reform the prison
system right
yes you know there's issues with it and
everything
but punishments could and this might
fall under the cruel and unusual
punishment but i think
every prison should have dave matthews
band music just piped into every cell
and they just have to listen to that
people who like it
i can pretty much think that everybody
in prison doesn't like tape measures
yeah maybe or maybe they do and they
made bad choices like
liking dave matthews and some some now
now it's something that they actually
liked
yeah i guess that's why we're not in
charge of prisons right
oh i would like to see dave matthews go
to prison we have to we have to move on
from dave matthews because people aren't
going to rest
easily in their beds until they hear the
answer to this one got you how many
pairs of shoes do you own
i think like five do flip-flops count
issues yeah okay six yeah about the same
yeah yeah
brilliant sounds cool if you were a
superhero
what powers would you have so says
powers so you can have more ones
oh okay so all of them yeah i mean
basically yeah all of them yeah i mean
like fly like superman strong like
superman
fast like the flash well i'll tell you
what no there are some
super powers which are actually a little
bit detrimental
um for example well i can i'm just
assuming that
among all the superheroes out there in
the marvel dc
and independent comic universe there's
got to be some superpowers which
are a curse to the actual superhero but
a blessing to the people that are
endowed by
his gift or her gift of that superpower
i don't know what any of those would be
though i don't know but let's just
assume there was one or two
yeah i'm sure there probably is and it's
not like we're up on comic books or
anything well
it's not but listen i've got the perfect
thing even for that
okay because when you say that like oh
yeah i'll have
all of them right well we could exercise
one of them as being something which was
going to get us a lot of money and then
we could just pay to get some smart
people to sit down and say look
go through the list of all these
superhero powers and
any which would possibly be a detriment
cross those ones off and i won't have
those ones but this would save us go
through all the
that's true things yeah even though
there's probably only a list of like
about 40 superpowers really
yeah because because some of them would
just be stupid oh you know like
there's super power to turn
wood into a cereal
cereal you know just something stupid
now yes you can make up a scenario
whereas
you know you were locked in ikea you
know for like weeks
and you had nothing to eat and you could
turn wood into cereal then yeah you'd be
on to a winner for a little bit there
but no but i keep ikea though has the
little snack bar
right so you wouldn't be hungry there
yeah well just assume the example was a
good one locked in a lumber warehouse or
something
oh anyway point being what was my point
some are super superpowers can be bad
but we just don't know any of those bad
superpowers no no i was trying to get
written i was trying to get rid of the
stupid superpowers like turning wood
into cereal right right
so just the normal ones you know
invisibility
you know but it but if you're that
superhero remember if
we can have all these but most
superheroes only have like
one so are you also saying to the super
hero that can turn wood into cereal that
now he's not a superhero anymore because
you don't want his
superpower because you're kind of making
yourself the
penultimate superhero of all superheroes
and then you turn around and would
serial guy now
it's like well what i i'm not good
enough for you i'd say no you're not
good enough
for me but then i kind of feel sorry for
him it's like okay
all right i'll i'll go ahead and keep
turning wood into cereal
just so we don't hurt if there's a place
for him and he's actually
serving a purpose because otherwise with
some sort of like introspection
he must be at work out you know there's
not a lot of call for me out there in
the world maybe this guy's just done me
a favor
telling me i'm not a superhero and maybe
i should just go and
get a job at ikea i don't know that's
true because if he can't prove that his
superpower is in any way beneficial or
functional
to society he's waste time anyway didn't
need me to tell him he's useless
so he's a politician he can just piss
off
oh there you go all right so
but no specifically what superpowers
all of them no i mean that's too generic
no all right name a few and why
wow other than the obvious invisibility
yeah but
now i kind of want to turn wood into
cereal
but you could get enough money with the
other superpowers to be able to buy both
wood and how do you just get a good
magician in front of you yeah but how do
you know that your superpowers
are gonna get you money of course it
would i mean invisibility i mean you
could literally steal money and
stuff all the time can you yes
invisibility sure but
okay being able to fly like superman
yeah so how's that gonna get you money
really because again you could go as
long as you remember
disguise but but remember all you can do
is fly
all right okay okay so how is that gonna
get you more right well right this one
goes against
not as much a superhero but a little bit
along the super villain
side but maybe not actually you dress
yourself in a really good disguise
okay and so you're flying around and
whenever you see
kind of like um any criminals on the
street
you dive down beat them up oh no because
this is your only superpower
right right you can only fly will you
surprise them you land them
you hit them with your terminal velocity
or close to or whatever it takes to
knock them out or scare them a little
bit but that could do
money still all their money that could
hurt you though remember
you can only fly right okay well
i'm assuming you have the gift of land
in as well well yeah
but i mean you can't crash a plane into
the ground you gotta land a plane
properly so
you've gotta land properly um
okay then i'm pretty sure i could set up
on the internet come and see a man fly
entrance tickets one thousand dollars
and i'd get sponsored oh my goodness
think of the sponsorship
you don't think i could get money
american airlines
yeah but the government bails them out
again probably right
but somebody is going to film you flying
and put it up on youtube right so then
nobody's going to want to buy tickets to
see you fly anymore
doesn't matter but it's a sponsorship i
bet forget the people buying the tickets
stuff and they can watch on youtube
yeah but so i'm thinking of sponsorship
so you want american airlines an
airplane company to sponsor you as the
flying man
yeah but they don't have any money well
or an airline which does have some money
get one of the saudi arabian ones
emirates yeah that looks like a nice
there yeah they got better okay
all right so you so so you solve that
problem
but that's going to take you an awful
lot of time to make that money
no i disagree okay because here is why
right
you go to any i don't know let's go to
our local fox 4
station right during the day
fly around a little bit outside the
building see how long it takes you to
get on the news
okay once you're on that news see how
long it takes before some sponsors and
agents get in touch with you being like
oh my goodness we can fly
it'd be a rat race should have a
sponsorship and be like all right okay
but
i commit to you but i want you know
50 000 or 50 million whatever you know
on a pallet
in my backyard you know before the end
of the day whatever so yeah you could
get money
quickly you know you just gotta be
forward thinking think
right i think you can make a lot more
money though converting wood into cereal
yeah but there's also a lot of things
which like invisibility and
flight and stuff could get you which the
gift of turning wood into cereal could
not get here
you know well invisibility and flying
isn't going to get you any cereal
no well it could again think about
thinking about visibility
of course you would you just walk in
this grocery store and just eat it off
the shelf wouldn't you
nobody would see it well yeah but now
you got to go into the grocery store i
mean there's wood
everywhere it's like oh there's a tree
or a bowl in your living room what are
you going to do rip up floorboards just
sit and have some frosted flakes
why not costs a lot of money get the
floor replaced better i've just
oh they're buying some frosted plates or
even just going on
well no just go online get it delivered
get 12 boxes delivered get a nice
discount
yeah but then i got to wait for it to
get delivered if i can convert
well yeah it's like two hours now with
uh
that what is it the prime fresh delivery
or whatever
