No Instructions Needed
In an ever-complicating world, friendships are not easy. Remember what it was like to just sit down and talk about life? From sports to politics, movies, music, and business—and then, most likely, back to sports—we try to simplify all things past, present, and future through the art of argument and discussion. So, no matter how complex the issue may be, remember this: There are... No Instructions Needed.

Rollercoaster Conversation
Are you ready for a laugh-packed, thought-provoking ride? First up, we're tackling the big news in the sports world: Pat McAfee's upset move to ESPN.

But we're not just about sports and tech. We've got the laughs coming too! Sharing our current favorite comedians with you, we're putting the spotlight on Matt Rife and Tom Segura, and how can we forget the comedic genius of Jimmy Carr? We're reminiscing about the hilarious scenes from Van Wilder, and trust us, you'll love this trip down memory lane. Then it's time for a health check. Breaking down intermittent fasting, we're discussing the highs, the lows, the black coffee, and the late-night eating.
We're wrapping things up with a cultural roundup. From the excitement of the new show "Silo" to the US vs. Canada soccer match and the anticipation for the upcoming Wayans show, we're leaving no stone unturned. So buckle up, join in the conversation and as always, stay safe and keep moving. You never know what you might learn, or how hard you might laugh!
Bang or rang. All right, we are back for another episode of the no instructions needed podcast. This is your boy on the East Coast repping Toronto, not the blue jays, but I mean, hey, they finally got a W. but we're loving life out here on the East Coast nice and warm weather is tight, going to the beach, enjoying the nice humidity, but I know it's nothing compared to life out on the West Coast. I'm sure Stanley Park is looking beautiful, i'm sure that Vansity is looking beautiful, but it looks even more beautiful. But my guy, the big D, is out there doing his thing in the summertime. Big D, how you live it.
Speaker 2:Oh, pretty good man. It's been a wild ride, like we talked about last time. I went camping. Went camping last week. I think I'm still recovering. It was just two days, but damn, it was maybe sleep. It's like you don't sleep while they're in camp and they can sleep. So I'm still recovering from that. Pretty much made in the shade now, i would say. So everything's looking pretty hunky. Dory Summer's here in Vancouver nice sunny weather, crisp, moderate 23 to 25 degrees. Everyone's happy. And I'm more happy to see a friend of mine, a very good friend of mine, pop into the chat. Who's looking? maybe I don't know if it's lighting, maybe he's, maybe he's a bit sunburned. He's looking a bit rouge. Maybe it's lighting, maybe it's not. But chaps, how you doing, friendo.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm a white fuck, so I get burned, really easy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah you know, it's like 34 degrees up here, like it's hot. It's hot up here. Thank God we got a pool, just got out of it, put the kids to bed Accidentally, took probably 18 milligrams worth of an edible before I came on this complete accident. So I had this might be a train wreck in 15 minutes or so, so that might be fun to deal with later tonight. But listen, yeah, it's nice up here. You know, happy we bought the pool and and yeah, let's, let's get into it.
Speaker 1:All right. So I texted Dean obviously he did not get it before he did the intro And I did say you got to introduce chaps as Pat McAfee's twin, because the more and more we go chapsy is, the more and more you're starting to resemble Pat McAfee, which I think is like the ultimate compliment, at least in our space and our fandom, of Pat. we didn't talk about it a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to bring it up because there have been some recent news with you know, obviously ESPN and he's going there to sort of take his talents to the big show. They let it go A lot of people who were staples.
Speaker 1:I mean Kellerman was a guy who got to let go. Jeff Van Gundy who was doing play by play, who's arguably one of the top five best play by play guys in the NBA for their telecast, probably not a guy who will be off the market for very long, but like they let go some serious sort of talent and it's sort of all going into the resembling a lot of sports. ESPN is going into the you know superstars. We have three, four guys we invest heavily in and we're sort of getting rid of the other guys. How are we feeling about Pat getting yet another bag And this time taking his talents to, arguably, the sports leader biggest show on earth.
Speaker 3:First of all, yes, pat McPhee and I have one thing common How much weight we gain and lose all at the same time. But in all seriousness, yeah, no, it's, it's. He probably got, you know, 150 million from ESPN just to license his show, which is beyond ridiculous. As far as people getting caught, let's start there. Just the name of the game, i don't get too caught up. And everyone's like, oh my God, bell is laying off X amount of employees. But Bell, let's talk like fuck off It's company. That's what happens, it's just part of it. You know they made a big signing in Pat and they invested heavily in a couple of like the Stephen A Smiths, the Mina Kimes, the you know, marcus Spears. So so they're investing in their own too.
Speaker 3:And and everyone that's like, oh my God, pat completely ruined everything. Like ESPN signed the biggest sports show in the fucking world. Like what the fuck are they supposed to do? I love Susie, I love Susie, but like they're not going to keep Susie around, to not have Pat. Like that's just not what's going to happen. And just so everyone knows too, all these people were getting let go. Whether Pat came there or not had nothing to do with him, it's just the name of the game. They'll find jobs, are all good people And you know it's going to be.
Speaker 3:The show isn't going to change because Pat won't let the show change. It will stay the same. But what I'm worried about for his sake is Fatigue. They have a history of taking those guys that they love the most and throwing them on absolutely everything, all the time, everywhere, and that fatigue is a real thing, especially on that specific network. So it will be interesting.
Speaker 3:I'm not too sure what to kind of make of it yet. I'm a little worried about access to the show because everyone's like oh, he's going to be everywhere. Now, as a Canadian, i don't know if it's going to be everywhere. I have no idea if ESPN is going to when it goes on YouTube, if ESPN is really OK, if you're not in the States, you can't watch this YouTube page. We don't know what that's going to look like yet. So I'm scared for access for the show as someone outside of America. But all in all, for all the fucking dweebs out there, the show is not going to change. He's just going to say fuck a little bit less, which isn't a huge deal, and Dean has no idea what we're talking about And yeah, i do. I have a little rouge today. I'm a little red, 100 percent. So good, call on that.
Speaker 1:I mean you hit it on the head. Pat's already talked about it too. Like Pat did the ESPN thing a while back, right, like he was doing the first iteration of College Game Day, when he was getting his feet wet before this this year, he was doing like get up, he was doing smackdown, he was doing everything and he was going on things And I mean I could see him doing like a first take. I can see him doing that and you're completely right. Oversaturation of Pat, who's a new father, who's just built this Thunderdome, who is essentially and I'm not going to say like replaced Darius Butler, but like he did essentially not Darius Butler, darius, what's his last name? Maybe is Darius Butler. This is Darius Butler.
Speaker 3:Well, Darius Butler was never on ESPN.
Speaker 1:No, no, no On his show Like he he, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because, because he's staying with Fanduil, which, like yeah, understandably so, like that's your bag.
Speaker 3:That's how you know. until you said that he totally did, that He brought in Pac-Man to replace Darius Butler. But here's the.
Speaker 1:I don't think he brought Pac-Man in to replace him. I thought he. I think he brought Pac-Man in and then would it just jive so well. And no disrespect to DB, because I love everything DB, pat and Pac-Man are like meant to be together. Pac-man is so fucking amazing as a color guy, as a story guy, as a booking guest guy Because of Pat they've had access to so many new guests for the Pat McAfee show that it's just fucking incredible. And a guy just ran a four, five, one, two at like 40 fucking years old. Shout out, pac-man Jones, fucking dog. So I mean, i think the thing I love about Pat McAfee is that he's bringing all of his boys along and they've got to sort of not ride the coattails but be a part of some amazing events in the last like 18 months to two years, and I can't wait to see them on a show.
Speaker 1:Can you just imagine next year's draft spectacular with all of ESPN stuff behind it? It's going to be fucking the product values. It's going to be fucking insane. Yeah, mad Mel Kuyfer, it's going to be sick. Jay Jason Glazer, it's going to be sick. Like all of Ty Schmidt. Shit is going to be sick. It is going to be awesome. Shout out Pat McAfee big fan, love you. Congrats, you got that bag. As chap said in Canada, that might get a little bit dicey about when we can catch it, especially because they're going to basically render Pat's YouTube to a clip show if that, but they won't do it live. So be pretty interesting to see how that goes.
Speaker 1:And I want to quickly segue into another sports topic that I think both of you can really relate to and enjoy. My question for you guys If we were going to compare NFL teams currently, like their status in the NFL, to current social media platforms, what would you guys sort of power rank and compare as far as who are the top dogs and who are the bottom dogs? Obviously our top dog being like a Kansas City chief Super Bowl champion and our bottom dogs being, i don't know, the fucking Houston Texas. So if we're going to go, we're going to go sort of like top to bottom. I'm going to start with Deena, he's going to give me his number one and then we're going to work our way down. We'll do like top five and we just want to compare social media platforms with NFL teams. Deena, who do you have in the one spot?
Speaker 2:I don't know if I understand what's happening.
Speaker 1:Okay, so if I, said Kansas City chiefs yeah, but if you had to compare, like what is the Kansas City chiefs of social media platforms? Oh, he's like the number one, best one.
Speaker 2:Okay, i'd probably say at this point and I have a bit of a tangent to go on after this but I'd probably say tick tock right now. Ooh, that's like a lot of people that I know, like they're not on Instagram but they're on tick tock. I don't, i don't do tick tock, but even my old man friends they're on tick tock, you know, so they're, they're scrolling at night time. I'm pretty sure chap chap sends crap and I'm just like cool radical.
Speaker 3:I'm a puss.
Speaker 2:All right, i'd say that's my number one.
Speaker 1:All right, chapsie, what would you say is number two and what is your NFL team? now? I think it's fun because now we get to see where you sort of see the NFL team is currently where we're at.
Speaker 3:Cincinnati Bengals number two. And I will say, since you said tick tock for number one, i mean sure You think Instagram Cincinnati Bengals, it's cool. You got a young hip, you know Joey Burrow slaying in the rock. It's cool. It has everything that you need and, quite honestly, twitter's taken a pretty big tumble lately on the old, on the old platform. So there you go, that's you, that's who's number two? second best team in the NFL.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, i'm going Philadelphia Eagles number three here. I'm going YouTube. I'm going YouTube because Twitch has sort of taken a huge beating with their recent streaming updates, not allowing people to stream on multiple platforms and be monetized. So a lot of people are leaving Twitch, going back either to YouTube, which allows you to stream on multiple platforms, or even this new up and coming like cool, beta tested social media platform and kicker. I know it's not really beta, but it's like massive behind it. It massive, but it's still in its infancy as far as like gaining into that upper echelon. But I would say, right now, give me YouTube, give me Philadelphia Eagles best team in the NFC, and we're going to go back to chaps for number four and Dino, give us his number five when he is done. Chaps, what's number four?
Speaker 3:Number four I will go number with the Buffalo Beals.
Speaker 2:And OK.
Speaker 3:And I think you compare them to like. When you think Buffalo, you think tough, you think be able to like work in all weather, you think it's going to be old school kind of smash mouth in your face, fucking frozen tundra I know it's not the frozen tundra, but frozen field type of shit. So I'm going on Facebook and that's because it's tried. It's tried, proven and has been around a long time now. So Facebook is the bus, the Buffalo Beals.
Speaker 1:Is this podcast sponsored by Meta is like Meta just giving you tons of money. Chaps like what's going on here? I mean I knocked out some motherfuckers in the fucking meta.
Speaker 3:So let's go on the old meta, that's. that's where I'm going.
Speaker 1:I do.
Speaker 2:I'm going to go San Francisco 49ers and I'm going to attach this to my tangent. No, I'm going to say they're treads.
Speaker 2:And my my query is what the fuck is treads or threads or whatever it is. I see it. I see it, Bro. as far as I could ascertain, it's like Instagram, Twitter And all everyone's like oh guess, I'm doing treads. I'm like what the fuck is this mean? What does this mean? What is this garbage? Is this another thing that I'm not going to use? Absolutely Well, but they're. they're young, they're up and coming. you know, unproven with the quarterback situation. Leader, nice leaders, unproven. So I'm going to say treads because I don't know what the fuck's going to happen. Was it that could be really good, It could be really bad. I'm not going to find out. I'll find out with the Niners. I won't find out with this crap. You're good, It's just like. I'm not going to use it. I don't use Twitter. I only use the woe John Twitter and Shams Charna. That's only two people I follow. I want my NBA news and I want it.
Speaker 3:One other account you should be following, but we'll leave that alone.
Speaker 1:We've said that so many times on this podcast and I feel like it's just No, not boobies.
Speaker 2:Our fucking account. Oh, i think I follow our account, geez. And for the record it is and boobies.
Speaker 1:It's not treads, it is. It's not treads, it's threads.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like this whole fucking thing was just amazing. That's the best ball log out That will be cut and released on fucking threads, no doubt in my fucking life.
Speaker 1:Our first thread will be Dean's analysis of We're threading, don't you fucking word.
Speaker 3:We're already threading. All right, you got the round the show here.
Speaker 1:All right. So I'm going to go back to, i want to say, like an unbecoming on the cusp I know it's a kicker was one of them. But rumble, is this like new, like streaming platform? I'm going to go ahead and compare that to the Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions opening up this season against the Super Bowl champions. They were on the cusp of making the playoffs, fortunately for Chaps's team, you know well, unfortunately for Chaps's team. Oh no, you guys got it. You guys got it to the playoffs. I mean like you guys benefited from it. But like the Detroit Lions are not your old Detroit Lions, these are the brand new Lions.
Speaker 1:I want to see it. Give me rumble. Rumble may be a huge thing. It's like at least a less censored version of YouTube. A lot of people have gone to it. After you know, youtube strikes their videos and copyright infringements And I mean you can find the guy Andrew Tate on there with some other weirdos on it. I'm not saying go because of him, but rumble, like there are a lot of, there are a lot of platforms coming for the crown that YouTube has And I will say YouTube's still the number one streaming platform when it comes to that type of media. No, don't. But that being said, there are some. There are some platforms coming for for YouTube, but like Twitter. And what threads is trying to do? threads with an H, not treads, treads, that's not Toyo, higher treads. I will say you know, metamite, get there eventually. But right now, threads is a complete dog shit platform, or at least not platform, but like service I guess you could call it, it'll get there.
Speaker 1:I believe in Zuck, but also great timing when, when Elon, you know, decides that he's going to, you know, fuck up another update and Twitter kind of goes on a little bit of shambles. Yeah, oh, of course he is. Zuck just goes like Oh, by the way, this is like a three week beta tested like service. Bang, we're in the mainstream. Now Let's go Shout out Zuck one, musk zero. Can't wait to see them fight. Going to be awesome, All right.
Speaker 3:So I saw that I want one more in here. I'm going to go Seahawks at nine. Is that where we're at is nine? No, no, we're at seven.
Speaker 1:So Seahawks at seven.
Speaker 3:And the reason why I said, oh actually, no, what? No, let me switch this. I'm going to go chargers at seven. Oh, dean is chargers.
Speaker 1:Hello.
Speaker 3:Chargers at seven with this is because here you have a team that is supposed to be so good all the time and they keep tripping over their own feet. They have been good, they have that. You've seen them be all time, all time good when it comes to their quarterback play. You've seen them do absolutely amazing things. And since the coach has taken over, it comes and it goes. It comes and it goes. Doesn't that remind you guys a lot of Twitter? I mean, if there is a team that is Twitter, it is the chargers, no doubt about it. So the Los Angeles Chargers number seven I like it. The Tweet Kings I like a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i like it because, like Twitter, can easily make the jump into the top four.
Speaker 3:Like they have it number one forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like they can, they can have it in them to sort of like, respond and have like a big year and surpass the. I'll be honest, i don't ever go on Instagram anymore. Like the only time I'm ever on Instagram is either when we get tagged on something or someone sending me like sick videos. But like I'm a TikTok guy, i'm not going to lie Like I love me some TikTok. I don't know.
Speaker 3:He's got one margarita open your legs to my right, he's going to give you some head. Give me three margaritas. I'm going to put it in my post. Give me four margaritas.
Speaker 1:I'm going to push, give me five margaritas, five margaritas Yeah.
Speaker 2:Is that a song?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, i'm sad, it's a trend and everyone's doing it.
Speaker 1:That's fucking awesome.
Speaker 3:I'm not down with the hip kids, i guess It's like. It's like the what's the one where she has bunny ears, or is it bunny ears? Oh, bugs Bunny, bugs, bunny. Yeah, it's like Russian song Bugs Bunny.
Speaker 1:It's basically just girls showing their asses and their toes.
Speaker 2:Toes and hoes and BBs.
Speaker 3:And one thing about threats here, just because you guys both shit.
Speaker 1:Okay, here we go, let's just pick.
Speaker 3:We got to get the threads Listen. Is it better in Twitter? No, not even close. Is it the single most downloaded app in the history of one week downloads? Absolutely, is Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Talking about social platform or apps in general. Yeah, okay, social Social Okay.
Speaker 3:Go ahead. It might be apps in general. You'd have to look that up.
Speaker 2:Okay, but for sure social. What about?
Speaker 1:Angry Birds I was going to say Flappy Bird was a huge hit.
Speaker 3:Guys, it had five million downloads in one day.
Speaker 2:Caps. Let me finish this thought, let me finish the thought. I kept seeing it, and my exact Google shirt that I did yesterday was quote what the hell is threads unquote That was my. Google search And it turns out I wasn't alone. There was like article or like sub reddit, like what's the hell reddit's like what the hell is threads, and I was I was like community college compared to to, like you know, a university.
Speaker 3:That's what threads is, but threads you drop that at university.
Speaker 3:Drop kicked. Same fucking thing. We like you know it's the same. Threads is good, man, like it's good. It's it's just like original Twitter. So there ain't much you can do on there. But Zuck will get it figured out real quick. And You know what? we all know That Elon is trying to bankrupt Twitter So he doesn't have to pay his bill for, for the loan that he got to buy the thing. So that's what he's doing. He's doing this on purpose. It's gonna take a couple years, but he'll bankrupt it and By that time, no care, because threads is it's massive. It was Instagram is what the second biggest social media platform in the world, i think Facebook, i think, is still number one. So it takes one click you're on threads and you're you're, you're treading on threads. That's, that's just. That's how, how it is, man.
Speaker 1:So so this is kind of like the hard part to like Validate What you said, chaps. And it's not because of you, it's because Apple doesn't release like numbers As far as like their apps. But what they did say is like Pokemon go is like the number one downloaded app in its initial week of like all time, and this was like granted, this was like a year ago when they released this, so they could certainly come up, but like I mean, i see it could be there. But it brings me to my next question What is like? what do you think is the most downloaded app of all time?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:No, it'll be a game. It'll be like solitaire or something stupid like that, like that. That will be Tetris. Yeah, i'll be something like that, some sort of game. That's my like. Eat like simple game, like a simple game.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Dean, what do you think of?
Speaker 1:this Instagram TikTok. Tiktok has over two billion downloads, but, but, but, but at the end of 2022, that's, that's wild, and I'm not surprised at all. And like, if I tell you take, it was tick tock, they're not gonna be surprised. It came in through the pandemic. It started as like a singing and dancing app and now it is very much an everything kind of app, has podcasts, has Six, you know, streams. I mean, i learned about new TV shows that I had never seen or wanted to get into, because they basically like Cut one episode into like six different videos and then you can just like oh, hey, yeah, i should probably get into that. Like I'm balls deep into Yellowstone right now, and that's because I saw most of like some pretty cool highlight shows from From tick tock, the only thing I haven't seen a whole lot of, which is kind of surprising game of thrones Seems. So yeah, nothing, nothing.
Speaker 3:But there's like full movies on tick tock, like it's full movies, full movie thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah somebody streamed live streamed the Mario movie the week. I watched like half of it. I'd already seen it, but I was like, fuck, i love that movie. Give me peaches, peaches, fucking number one song ever, all time. Love it, let's go So threads has 40 million downloads. That's pretty good.
Speaker 3:It's the most I'm reading. This article says it's the most of all time in a one week. Oh, okay, there you go.
Speaker 1:I think now because? is that because it's affiliation with meta?
Speaker 3:Absolutely like if this was a.
Speaker 1:Ticktock right, like if this is like a tick tock that came out of fucking nowhere.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, it's different. Yeah, 10 million downloads.
Speaker 2:Here's a query Fuck is threads, my god.
Speaker 1:Tell me more about this threat or, as Dean calls it treads.
Speaker 2:Treads, treadstone, born supremacy.
Speaker 1:Shed out treadstone. That's a great callback there like that.
Speaker 2:My references are out of control. Everyone knows it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you are. You are on something. Have you guys seen the new mission of possible trailer?
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm Yeah. Talkers, get me to go to a fucking movie theater and I'm gonna hate myself forever for going to see it.
Speaker 2:Chapsie, should we go when I, when I go up there? Should we go together?
Speaker 3:No, we should not watch the move that movie here. They'll ruin it. Our theater, prince George movie theater and I'm your tags and the plexiness you fucking suck. It's the worst movie theater in all of fucking Canada and it's one of the highest grossing per capita in all of Canada. So fuck you your piece of shit, some flex.
Speaker 2:Okay, here's, here's another. I'll throw some. might you come in a day, or we catch it, we catch it, i got a little update about the day earlier.
Speaker 3:We're driving.
Speaker 2:I got a bus at my credit card.
Speaker 3:No, we're driving to the Prince George on Friday, not Thursday. Okay, well, we can?
Speaker 2:we cannot have our personal. Sorry, just take over the Instagram or take over the podcast here.
Speaker 3:Yes, just happen.
Speaker 1:Sorry, Guess you record a thread on your way.
Speaker 3:We're going in and it's gonna be carpool karaoke.
Speaker 2:On this day.
Speaker 3:Do it.
Speaker 1:Fuck man.
Speaker 2:You guys are all update. I was telling everyone that I was hanging out with my boy chaps Next weekend. and it's not next weekend, it's nice.
Speaker 1:No, I'm like okay, next week I'm out of here I'm, i'm gone, bitches.
Speaker 2:Vacation mode activate. I'm like oh wait psych.
Speaker 1:It's two weeks.
Speaker 3:You're gonna bring your swim trucks up.
Speaker 2:No, I'm just gonna go. I'm gonna wait till the children are asleep and I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3:Oh, on the Pogo stick land.
Speaker 2:We're not in front of the children all the way. For the children be a sound asleep, and then I'll just do a midnight dip.
Speaker 1:Was it Van Wilde there, where the dog goes in the hot tub and the balls float to the surface? Yes, Yes. As soon as Dean said he was waiting for the kids to go to sleep. That's all. I can envision Dean's hopping in the hot tub and all of a sudden, well floatation device. They're so war, it's so warm, there's dough, it's so warm and queuing.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's the grossest scene in the movie history, i think.
Speaker 1:I've had this before, oh man.
Speaker 3:Funniest scene at the moment in the history of anything I've ever watched. In that moment, when I was 14 or whenever I was, and My buddy Reese and I are sitting there, my mom has to walk us into the theater because it's 18. Motherfucking yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, yeah walks us up to the guy that rips the tickets. We missed the tickets getting ripped, good feeling. He walks up to the guy that had the ripped the tickets and she's like I'm Blowing my son to watch this movie. And the guy looked at there. He's like Are you sure? And she's like yes. He's like wait now two seconds, ma'am, this is a very adult Graphic movie, are you sure? my mom's like yeah, they can go watch it. And then, yeah, what was that? 45 minutes in They're whacking off a jog, a dog filled up some Some cum doughnuts. And yeah, i'm rolled on the ground in the movies either, laughing. Never forget it for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1:Crazy to think that that is Based on Burke Christchers life.
Speaker 3:I didn't know that until like two weeks ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like, that's like I've been. I mean obviously Burke Christchers the machine, recent movie, very well documented if you follow him. Like the movie Van Wilder was based off of his time at FSU, like he was a seminal, like craved there. I think there was like a sports illustrated article written about him Which is basically like his claim to fame and how he became like this giant party boy And obviously like the story of him going to Russia and robbing All of his like classmates on a train with these Russian guys Like the mob was like a crazy story. But like, again, the fact that Van Wilder loosely based off of of Bert is just Fucking hilarious because Bert is a funny, funny dude. Him and Tom Segura, pretty solid. Who your favorite comedians right now? Like, who are we? who we watching if? like if someone comes to fucking Prince George, is there anyone that's getting you out of your, out of Your house? their chaps?
Speaker 3:I, since I actually said this to seven, six on the weekend as him myself, his bride to be and my wife, we're hot tub knit wasted, i said Hey If Matt Reif is in town.
Speaker 1:I am mad.
Speaker 3:I am paying a thousand dollars a ticket to go see him. Wow That that. He is the funniest fucking guy out there right now And the best part is he opens up the crowd to everybody, so like he listens to the crowd and then he just fucking rips on the case. Matt Reif is the best comedian going right now and Tom Segura is a close second.
Speaker 1:All right, i like my. he's coming to Toronto. It's like September or something, september, october. Yeah, he's like I've seen. obviously I remember him from Wildin out, but he's got some. he's got some stuff on tiktok that exposed him, uh, like his whole thing. he was talking to someone who was like suicidal and like completely flipped the script and became very sympathetic And then it was like oh well, hopefully I'll see you at another show, and if I don't, then we know why. And it was like he had created enough rapport with the person, as well as with the crowd, that he could get away with that kind of joke. But the sincerity prior to that was awesome. But yeah, matt Reif, skinny little white boy, pretty good, all right, oh he's yoked.
Speaker 3:He's pretty yoked.
Speaker 1:I meant, but I mean, but he's like a small, he's just a skinny.
Speaker 3:He's a good looking white dude And he knows it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he man, he's. I know a lot of the ladies big fan of Matt Reif, big, big fan of Matt Reif. He's a comedian. Not a lot of them. How's the girl Brett?
Speaker 3:what I've got Burt.
Speaker 1:Christry.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1:They're not much to look at. Not much to look at.
Speaker 3:Jimmy Carr actually was just in Prince George.
Speaker 1:Jimmy Carr is fucking hilarious. I didn't go see him, though He's got one of like the most harshest Pete Davidson jokes of all time on the on the roast of. Oh, you remember right? Yeah, it was like a 9-11 joke And it was like James Frank, not James Frank.
Speaker 3:It was so, i think it was No Rob Law.
Speaker 1:I think it was Rob Law. I think it was.
Speaker 3:Rob Law. Oh, he might be right. Yeah, either way.
Speaker 1:It was dark and awesome at the same time For me. I'm going to see Schultz. I'm going to see Schultz I think it's either September, october. I'm a fan of his, his comedians style, like he also does a lot of good like crowd work, but like I don't know I'm a big fan of him. I feel like it's hard sometimes to like comedians because if you say you like the wrong one, people will come for you because of like a joke or two that they made. And the only person who I find is basically untouchable as far as like you being able to like him is Dave Chappelle, who could basically say everything and, like you could survive. But like you say you love Joe Rogan, people are going to be like, oh man, you're fucking conspiracy theorists. You're a joke. You know you like some of like his friends. People are the exact same way. So I think Dave Chappelle is probably the only safe comedian to survive controversy. What do you think, jeff?
Speaker 3:I think Candid just beat the US.
Speaker 1:That's. I believe that is something that just happened.
Speaker 3:Holy shit, well, somebody scored. I don't have it up on TV or anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But yeah, yeah Sorry, this is kind of wild Do they win the gold cup? if they win this, they don't think they go, they move on.
Speaker 1:I think they move forward because they just lost to the US in the final of the Nations Cup.
Speaker 3:Yeah, quarter final. I can see it up there now. Yeah, so this is they were five to one to win this, which I don't understand either, because they just beat the US, like not that long ago, to get to the World Cup. So kind of confused why, why that's the case, but anyways, yeah, i don't know. I mean, to me there are some. I think Dave Chappelle took a lot of heat for what, what he did, which the transgender jokes and everything, yeah. But you know, in the end I think comedians are, as long as they're not up there being like blatantly racist with stuff, like calling people like blatantly racial, yeah right, i think comedians should be able to say whatever the fuck they want. I truthfully believe that because that's as as the great Ricky Gervais said, that's just where the mind goes to tickle itself every now and then, and you know like people just need to get over certain shit Like fucking Matt Rife pushes the limits like pushes the limits Yeah, and there's another guy.
Speaker 3:There's a comedian recently talked about blackface. Have you seen that? I have not. So so he's in the crowd, he's talking about blackface and he's like listen, blackface is bad. Everyone's like yes. And he goes around the crowd and was like yes, and he goes to a black guy. He's like blackface is bad. Right, the black guy is like yes, it is. He's like OK, but in certain certain situations, a white guy like myself might have to do blackface like like the Marines. You know, if I go in at night time without like the whole joke is so fucking funny and he pushes some limits.
Speaker 1:So I think, as long as you do it the right way, there's always going to be that avenue for for jokes that are that push limits, and I think we're in the era now where it's like we may have, where we may be out of the era of like comedy movies being hilarious because no one's willing to push the limits And those are the movies that are the funniest Like if you go back and look at like one of the best movies, it's in my top 10. Now, this is the end. You could never make that movie again. Like you absolutely cannot make that movie again.
Speaker 1:We're like Channing Tatum's The Gimp, where you're saying all of like even to say fucking. Even for me to say the Gimp is like yeah, you know, potentially pretty bad, but I mean like we're referencing a character in a in a movie, but like you can't make that movie anymore. Like those guys who came up with that, like obviously you know Seth Rogen and his, his co-writer, like came up with like one of the greatest movies ever and you just can't do that anymore. You can't make good comedies because people will just fucking piece it together, and the best example of that is Jennifer Lawrence has a new movie out, yeah, and the premise around it is like parents, you know, go on Craigslist and find this like older lady to basically show their high school son a good time And it's supposed to be funny Like it is. You know it's a comedy. Jennifer Lawrence takes her top off, shout out Jennifer Lawrence, let's go.
Speaker 1:You write it. Oh God See, we jinxed it, we fucking jinxed it. We did Right, we certainly just jinxed. That's unbelievable. The karma gods have come from us. See, this is what happens when we see me like Matt Reif. All right, we got punished, we got punished.
Speaker 3:I can't believe this.
Speaker 1:This is insane, anyways, but like you can't make like this movie that should have been like hilarious and received, while it just gets punished because people are just tied too much to the premise of the movie. It's a fucking movie. It's not real life. Spoiler alert. The Terminator is not real. Spoiler alert. IMF is not real. Tom Cruise character. Ethan Hunt not a real motherfucking person OK, like it's, ok. Fucking hey. Shrek cartoon not fucking real Game of Thrones. there aren't dragons in this fucking world. We can enjoy shit without the realism part of it And people need to just fucking get off their high horse and just enjoy entertainment for what it is and our fucking team.
Speaker 3:All right, 1000 percent agree. Also, i just watched Superbad, like two days ago. Oh and so fucking funny. And yeah, the language in it there's some language that could be changed, sure, and it wouldn't affect the movie at all. But, I see people here saying, oh, the premise is so bad, it's like you got to watch the movie. When you watch the movie, it's so fucking funny. It is one of the funniest movies ever made. Yeah, and you're right. It probably fucking Dean.
Speaker 1:Hi, we missed you. Hi, back bitches, hey, hey. So we were just talking about, like, our political affiliations and how we really really hope Trump wins the 2024 election. We just want to get your thoughts real quick.
Speaker 2:Are we talking politics or are we talking stocks, stocks.
Speaker 1:Which are we talking? because I am proficient with both.
Speaker 2:I am a well-learned man when it comes to both subjects.
Speaker 1:We, we were just diving into the fact that, like society is super soft right now and the era of great comedy movies has fucking died because people cannot separate movie and film and television from fucking reality, and it's just. it just has killed a genre of good filmmaking and entertainment. That's where we're at. What are your thoughts? Is this my? is he fucking frozen again?
Speaker 3:God, god, he's gone And he's blaming, he's blaming Streamyard for it. I don't know why he keeps that he won't come back now.
Speaker 1:I thought he was just like deep into thought, like I did And I was like oh he's, he's fucking weak at it, birdie's, he ain't moving, he's dead, he is dead, he's dead.
Speaker 3:We'll have to figure out why that's happening. Anyways, i'm God. Yeah, I mean, I already answered that question.
Speaker 1:So did to frozen Dean for a second here.
Speaker 3:I think we can move on from that one.
Speaker 1:Oh God.
Speaker 3:Now who can that doesn't lose this game.
Speaker 1:I feel, if they do, we certainly fucking jinxed us Certainly, oh 100 percent Frick.
Speaker 3:Well, so I'm up to weight loss And then we're going to get out of here. Jules, just because I got to get ready, i'm leaving for the whole week here tomorrow and I have not got ready yet. So quick update starting intermittent fasting. That's been, that's been fun. It's tough sometimes. Like you know, eight o'clock tonight I have to stop eating. I can't start eating until 12, 12 tomorrow, like lunchtime, ok. So it's a long time And you know I got 10 minutes left.
Speaker 1:What's your, what's your, what's your time frame again.
Speaker 3:So seven to 10, seven to 10. No, sorry, it starts as eight to 10,. Eight to 10, eight to 10, seven to 10, seven to 10. 7 to 12. 7 to 12 and it just rotates like that.
Speaker 1:Gotcha Okay interesting and how you're feeling with that. It takes you a little bit of getting used to.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's kind of dick it with my stomach a bit, to be honest, but it's it's. You know, it's okay. It's just you know It's something. It's something you just have to get used to. I think your whole body just has to get used to it. But yeah, you know, we'll see what happens. Like I'm 237 now, so that's okay I guess, and we'll see if we see what we're down tomorrow, but hopefully we're. I want to be 230 by the time I see Dean.
Speaker 1:Okay, there we go. That's a lot and how I know some people like. So when I started intermittent fasting I was like, just strictly, the only thing I was doing is like eating and drinking in my four-hour window. So I'm going like 20 hour fast, four hours, i'm just like Going in there. And then I've learned from some people like doing some research some people will drink like black coffee, just Nothing, nothing in it, and that like supplements outside of like the, the like 20 hour fast, which I Think kind of helps. I've done it like once or twice just to see what it's like. Obviously no sugar, no milk.
Speaker 1:Black coffee takes a lot to sort of get used to, but I have found that it's like it's getting me a little bit more energized. Don't drink it right as soon as I wake up. I usually be like an hour, maybe two hours into my day before I go black coffee and then, yeah, my window is like early to. It's like usually like noon to 4 pm Is when I try to try to get like some food in So that way I'm not eating a big meal late, i'm not. I'm not, you know, if I don't get a chance to like either work out or get some exercise that I'm not doing it right before bed. So noon to 4 pm, 4 hour eating window.
Speaker 1:Dean is back, and do you? let me just paint a picture for you, literally as we get into the intermittent fast and conversation of this podcast, chaps is like you know, i want to be down to a certain weight before I see Dean Proceeds to like tell me to go on this little bit of a rant so he can go and get himself a tasty little dessert treat ice cream Samuel so I mean He's battling some demons at this point.
Speaker 1:Here to 30 ice cream sandwich. You got this chaps.
Speaker 3:Listen, it's eight minutes left. I gotta get something in. I gotta make it till noon tomorrow. So sorry, sorry, dean, for step in, and I love you Hey it's okay.
Speaker 2:It's okay. We, you know I've gone off to a bit of a slow start, i'd say too, with this challenge. I've had some food given to me, i've had some food paid for for me. So what's a? what's a guy to do, you know? yeah, but we'll get there. You know, i got my Starting tomorrow. I'm gonna try to wake up early, do some fasted cardio. Hey, i've been going to the gym, still don't be wrong, but I had a barbecue on Friday, so you know, i'm gonna eat a couple boygas there. It is tough, you know, and you know that's. That's the kind of thing we have to sacrifice. And Let's just say that summer is not the ideal time to do this because there's lots of poop going on. But, alas, you know, challenges are challenges and I don't plan on being last place. I'm cool with second and I'm cool with winning.
Speaker 1:All right, all right. So so question with your intermittent fast, do you internet fasting I?
Speaker 2:Do, but it's. It's pretty like for example, i haven't eaten dinner yet today. So it's almost eight o'clock. We'll probably be doing this podcast the next five. I'll eat dinner quickly then. So I try to. I usually I'm better at the mornings. I'm because I'm not just. Naturally I'm not hungry in the mornings ever. So usually by the time it hits like 11, that's when I start getting hungry and I'll make some breakfast and whatnot. But at nighttime is when I get lazy, because I'll go to the gym and I'll get home and I'll just be like, hey, i don't want to cook yet, but I have to, but I don't. So that's why I might get like eight, the 715 where my window ends. So I get a lot. It's not. It used to be a 16 8 window and now it's more like a 15 9 window.
Speaker 1:All right, there you go, chaps you, yeah, well, yeah, i mean that, don't you for them? Don't you fucking feel better though, like after you do like a fast, like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm at like a 24 window right now and I used to be, like a 16 8, but I've been doing like a 24, just because I'm not a breakfast person. I usually like a late eater and I want to avoid that. So when I push myself to know meal after 4 pm I Feel a lot better, because then I usually go for like a run or do some cardio right before bed and then it's like you know, 13, 14 hours later I get to eat something. but I gotta ask you, drinking black coffee, dean? is that Count, not count?
Speaker 2:because I've read some differing opinions on it and I'm no scientist, but no, it doesn't account, because a black coffee is like two calories and I think, i Think, though, it's like 75 calories, 50 calories. I'm like that is when you actually break the. You're fast.
Speaker 1:Right, so water. Do you do water during a fast or no water?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I water. I water it at zero cows.
Speaker 1:I'm in a no water, just black.
Speaker 3:So what.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't drink it.
Speaker 2:I started intermittent fasting but I have my like two milk to sugar from Tim Horton's every day. So like I didn't really get any results and I was gonna do some like research like a copy will f it up So I started drinking a black coffee and I lost 15 pounds in like three weeks.
Speaker 1:Yes, you know, I just.
Speaker 2:Because it just I was. I wasn't actually fasting right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all I do so when I do my fast just water and black coffee. That's the old. Those are the only two things I drink the whole time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, drink a black playboy, and then on the weekends I'll have a nice oatmeal latte, but I'll have that later in the day.
Speaker 1:That black coffee is gonna be great for your IBS their chips Oh.
Speaker 3:Oh boy, so intermittent fasting for the IBS is something spectacular, it's just very spectacular. But anyways I gotta go pack. I want to watch an episode of silo because it's pretty cool show and You know that's it for me. So have a good one.
Speaker 1:Alright alright.
Speaker 1:I don't want to end this. I want to let Dean do it, because like halfway through his like soliloquy, you know, like cut off and we're gonna have to figure out how to end it. But I Love you boys, you know. Looking forward to Wayans on Wednesday. Wednesday, wayans always, always fun. And Yeah, just keep it safe, keep it moving, keep it grooving. And sorry, canada for completely fucking jinx in your match tonight. So Did they lose these? No, they were winning, though, and then we fucking said, oh, we're gonna beat them first.
