- This is a podcast from the Queen City Podcast Network. (upbeat music) - I got a glitchy voice. - I got a glitchy voice. - I got a distorted voice. - I'm kind of, I got a quick smoke in the pack. - Yeah, crazy, I worked with the most stuff. It was him and Hussein Veronica, Elvis Costello. - Oh, okay, oh. - And I think there were some other people there, but I remember kind of geeking out a little bit and I kept this, that's fuckin' most definite. It's got still over there. - Yeah, that's some homework that I might give myself right now is-- - Listen to Elvis. - Both of them actually. - You know what, I really liked? Most Deaf, it wasn't black on both sides, but I think it was a second album. I forget what it's called, but it's the one he has like a band down over his face. He's like doing this thing. I was a pretty good one. - I don't really know if I know his music now that I'm thinking about it. Did he have any like late '90s, early 2000s hits that I'm forgetting? I'm sure he did, right? - Not really hits, most stuff was never that big, but like, his first album was probably highly regarded. - Okay. - Yeah. - Welcome, everybody. This is the Zoning Out podcast. - Oh, we're doing it. - Presented by the Comedy Zone. I figured, let's just dive in. This is us. - I love that. - Shoot the shit, you know. Just on a regular way. - Short out. - Yeah, in a regular way. We're recording this on January 7th. For everyone listening, we listened to the Zoning Out podcast wherever you listen to your favorite podcast, listen, subscribe, share. Leave a comment or review, we're all over YouTube now. - Smash that subscribe button. - Yes. (laughs) - We got full episodes now up on YouTube, so hello everybody on YouTube as well. - I'm so excited about that. - Me too. - Yeah. - So cool. - Yeah, absolutely. - We've arrived. - And that is, I'd like to shoulder people with all that burden, which is Jordan. (laughs) - Yeah, no, I mean, we all equally contributed to it. (laughs) But if you guys want to give us a call, maybe be on the podcast, you got a question. Let us know what's funny. You got dating issues, call it, leave. - Yeah, honestly. - Ask us anything. - Honestly, kind of anything. - Anything. - Anything. - Call it 980-221-9293. Leave us a message and maybe we'll put it on the podcast. - I want people, I'd say, very good chance to put it on. - We absolutely will. Right now, yeah. (laughs) - I mean, I'm sure there is some kind of deal breaker that we'd hear and we'd be like, that doesn't go on, but it'd have to be really bad. Like, what were, I think, the best thing that we could get in a call, voicemail, whatever, would be something that makes us all go, "Oh my God." (laughs) You know, that reaction. - Yes. - But also, just tell us about your day, I don't care. - Yeah. (laughs) - This is our first podcast back from the New Year, so. - It's true, oh yeah, this is the first one of 2025. - 2025. - Yeah, this is great. We all made it to 2025. - We did. We all made it to 2025. - I don't know how much time is left, but-- - Yeah, that is true. - And actually, you know, that is a good point, 'cause since we are recording this on January 7th, Jonathan, how'd you self-break the holiday yesterday? (laughs) - Listen, I stormed as many random houses as I could, just through the memory of the best day in the history of our nation. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - Hey, by the way, this is Jonathan Williams at Mr. Williams Comedy. - You got it. - For the people who don't know, Jordan Sentry. - Jordan Sentry. - On everything. - That's right. - Jordan Sentry at Jason Allen King, or Instagram, more importantly, at King Jason Allen. - There you go. - We're all in TikTok for now. - Yeah, we'll see what happens. - Can I be honest with you? - Yeah. - I wouldn't mind that one going the way. - I wouldn't-- - What? - Why? - I wouldn't. - It's just one less thing to keep up with. - Exactly. - Dude, I was thinking about that two day. - That's fair. - This thing itself is fun, and like, Jason, you have a bit about it that I agree with. I think it's fun to flip through it, and I know a lot of people's careers are based on it, but fully, selfishly, like, you know, forgetting everyone else in the world, it is one less thing to worry about, because that's not where I, that was, at one time, would have been a big deal for me, because that's where I got all my views and everything, but yeah, I was thinking about that today, like, man, that'd be one less chore. - Yeah. - Exactly. - That I haven't-- - It's such a weird thing to know that you've got your, this is where you're gonna make money, this is where you're gonna make, you know, any kind of splash, and you gotta focus on that one. It's such an odd thing. - I think it would be a bad thing, overall, for it to go away. It would just personally be one less chore. - Yeah, 100%. - You think it would be a replaced by something else? - I mean, they always are, right? And in a sense, it kinda already is. - Yeah, I mean, as Instagram has reels, Facebook has reels now, YouTube has shorts, like-- - And reels started as basically ripping off TikTok, or at least blew up as ripping off TikTok. - Yeah, absolutely. - And has pretty successfully mimicked it, I would say, to the point that, like-- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see a lot of the same stuff. It feels like I see the same stuff. - I think that's what people do. - Yeah, that's what I do. - That's what we can do. - That's what I do when I'm-- - Yeah. - When I'm not like you. - Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I literally do that, too. I'm over here, like, I think it's the same stuff, I don't know. - And I don't know. - Interesting, okay. But let's take this conversation into something that you brought to the table, Jordan. - Yeah. - Scary business, right? - Yes, yes, so speaking of misinformation, a meadow, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram has announced the termination of its third party fact-checking program. - I just-- (laughs) - I was waiting for the explosion from John-- - No, I just defeated, but like, that kind of news, just like, yes, I am, that infuriates me, but more than anything, I'm just like, one more sort of thing where it's like-- - Who could that possibly benefit? - I'll tell you-- - Anybody that cares about free expression, according to-- - Yeah, yeah, quote on the-- - Zuckerberg. - Free expression, they're kissing the ring, man. They're just kissing the-- That's really what I think this is. - Yeah, free from consequence, free from-- - But they're authenticating-- - I mean-- - Truly, that's gotta be what it is, right? The timing is literally right before dudes about to take office. - Yeah. - I don't think there's any really reason, I mean, I'm willing to hear a reasonable conclusion other than that, but I think, 'cause all the, it's all these CEOs, and everybody are all going to visit the new guy, well, the old new guy who's coming back, and I don't even like saying his niche. - We don't have to. - And like, and this is just, this is another example, and then there was a thing about someone at Meta, not Mark Zuckerberg, but someone else who made this, it may be tied to this, I'm not sure, I wouldn't be surprised. Going and visiting, visiting the guy. It's just, everyone's kissing the ring, it's real scary. It is, it is scary. - Do y'all have any other explanation as to why they would do this? As to why they maybe do this? - No, just 'cause, especially how you mentioned with the timing of it, I can't really think of anything else. - It's almost shameless, it's just like-- - So let's play, I mean, let me play a little devil's advocate, I don't know, is it like-- - I was up there to be another reason, are there ways-- - So have they, have they gotten anything wrong? Does it slow up the algorithm? Does it interrupt the flow of scrolling? I'm just trying to think of what would be the other reasoning behind it, I don't really-- - Yeah, so yes, and so that's kind of where I can kind of see the other side of it, in that maybe they're doing it to kiss the ring, or maybe they feel like they can get away with it now because of who's there. Maybe they always wanted to do that. - Why? - Yeah. - Why do you think, I mean, I'm not-- - Wasn't Zuckerberg-- - How did they benefit? - Didn't he go in front of Congress and get lit up for like a week and get his ass kicked? - Yeah, yeah, he got absolutely obliterated. - So he did what they wanted to do to some degree, I think, I don't really know that much about it, but they did this-- - Did at least enough to shut him up. - And now he's like-- - And yeah, rolling back. - Rolling it back. - So, rage-bating, come on man, we know that's effective. - Oh, so just terrific. - Yeah, that's at the end of the day. - Although, how many people left Twitter a lot? - Yeah, but the Facebook, you know what the base is. And look, the situation is like this is where I'm pro-Darwin. - Oh, I see what you're saying, I see what you're saying. Okay, yeah, gotcha, nevermind. - Yeah, like we know what the majority base is on Facebook, and honestly if-- - Do you just mean older people? - And more do you mean-- - Oh, yeah. - More right-leaning, I think. - Okay, honestly-- - I'm not really on Facebook anymore. My understanding is that the majority, it's much more of a right-leaning sort of-- - I would say it's definitely older. I think there probably is more of a right-leaning side as well. And yeah, dude, listen, if you were believing anything, you're reading on Facebook anyway. - Yeah, seriously. - You know what, you should, you should, you should lose access to reading. - I'll tell you. - You should. (laughing) - You should lose access to reading. - You're sounding a little right right now too. - I'm a right-leaning-- - You know what, yeah. I'm a right-winger against the right-winger. (laughing) - Yeah, that's right. - Okay, where this does become, again, selfishly, a problem is like, does this apply to Instagram too? I think it does, right? 'Cause it's meta. - 'Cause it's a meta app, but that's the thing. - Did I? - So, it's Instagram gonna become this, it's already, you know, all social media is a mess, but like, is it gonna be-- - I don't ever remember seeing any third parties-- - And that was gonna be my thing. I don't even know what that looks like. - I think there are. Yeah, they're a little like labels sometimes of like, this is like not, you know, whatever, I don't remember. - I just don't remember seeing them, but that doesn't mean it's not even. - They're around, yeah. - Have you guys ever gotten like, threatened/community guidelines, whatever, by Instagram? I have several times. - By Instagram though, Facebook, I don't think. - They're always, oh, what it usually is is like, I can't remember, there's one where they were gonna like, take it down, and then I have several times gotten them where they're like, this one's not, we're not monetizing this one. You can't get money for this one. I can't, and I never understand why, and sometimes I press a little button to challenge it. - See, I've gotten that one, TikTok a lot. - Yeah, I think, I probably have two. They've like taken the audio off. - They've taken the audio off. - Yeah. - Which, even when there isn't like, music or anything, like copyrighted music, it's like, there was, there was one, I did, I forgot about this, like, two years ago, more, more than two years ago. I did one video where I was driving. - Okay, sorry. - And I said. - Which is always a problem for Jonathan, 'cause he's out of time. - Yeah, actually. - I am bad at driving. But this was before we found out how bad that was for driving. - But it was like. - Can you pair a little park? - I, on a good day. - Okay, all right. - Yeah, I try often, and I usually succeed to some degree. Just, I succeed to the degree where I decide to get out of my car. (laughing) - Were you asking, 'cause you can or can't? - Where I'm like. - No, I just, 'cause I know he's bad at it. - He's bad at it. - I'm real bad at driving. - Yeah. - No pushback for me. - Yeah. - Jordan, you all have both, you've been in the car, both of you have been in the car with me driving. It's an experience. - It's just only when we have to. - Yeah, I know. (laughing) None of this is controversial. But it was, I said something like, like people say that kids should limit their screen time. I don't. It's like, I don't at all. I'm driving right now. - Oh, I could see it not going well. - They took the audio off that one. But after a long time, it was there for me. - Okay, and that's interesting, okay. That's like. - I don't know. - It's policing. - They put a label on it. That's what it was. It said, like, this, it said something like, you know, this is a dangerous activity. Do not, like, it was something equivalent of like, do not try to settle. - You don't need videos. I see people who are definitely dead by the end of that video. - Yeah. - I never see a note. - I know. - I got that label. - I never see a label. - There was one, I've done two where I was driving. And it was that one or the other one where they put a label on it. - See, this was, these were both two years ago. I don't do that anymore. - Interesting. - That's so far. - I think of a funny idea that involves driving. - Hey, man, anything for the content. - Don't we do it. - Anything for the content. (laughing) - I can't stand watching things like people getting like really bad at her. And if you don't know, it's coming. Anybody else get like shocked at this shit? Oh, God, it's the worst. - Do you mean like in, are you talking specifically about real stuff? Or are you talking about like movies? - No, I just mean like real things. - 'Cause I'll tell you. - Animals getting hurt or like. - Oh, yeah, I hate that. - I'm just like. - Hi, where are you seeing animals getting hurt a lot? - Well, I don't. - Well, we're talking about movies. - Okay. - Where even when you know it's not real, it's just, I don't care, it bothers me. - I'll just say it like things will pop up and it'll be like, you know, some dude getting like really hurt at something. Like it's a clearly a video from a building and someone gets smashed by a car or some shit. - I made a ton of those. - Oh, I hate it, man. - I'm not. I'm not. - All right. Yeah, I can't lie. That is compelling to me. (laughing) - Well, when you see somebody get hit by a car, they just kind of go blind like that. - But when you know it like they're like dead, you're like, they're dead. - Oh, no, that's not good. - That's like the ones that are facing death shit. - If I know when I'm watching it, that they're okay? - Yeah. - Yeah. - But if there's any question, if I just see a video of somebody hit by a car, I'm just like, this is terrible. - Yeah. - But if I know they're okay and it's real funny, I mean, I gotta know like 10 seconds before it happens. You know, it needs to be like a caption. It's like, he's safe, he's fine. - Yeah, you never get that though, right? It's never like everything says why I don't care. - Which is why I don't have an example or a memory. - No, the other ones I like, you ever see the videos like it's internal, so like it's a, what do you call it, the truck drivers? - Yeah, like inside their cab. - They're recording themselves inside the cab driver. - Then you can see them going off-road. (laughing) - That's not good. - Yeah, I see them carefully. - Don't trucks like drive themselves basically now? - I think some can. - There are some autonomous trucks. - I saw this for the first time. So I saw on a job, I saw a truck driver, it was an automatic tractor trailer like, like-- - That's literally what we just said. - No, not like, you're saying driving itself? - Yeah. - No, I haven't seen that. I'm like, a not a stick shift. I mean, like an automatic-- - Oh, that's it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I think most are now. Like, some newer ones. - I don't, I mean-- - I feel like they shouldn't be. - Yeah, you know what it should be. - Yeah. - Everything else that we are like all amazing-- - I think because-- - All amazing use the AI for, we can't have an automatic-- - Of all the things, I think that truck drivers should-- - I actually think there's two, I think there's something behind that. One, I think it's really expensive because like, go to automatic cars was not a, that was a very expensive thing. - Yeah, so you're talking about like, they have fleets and all the fleets they've had for-- - Just literally the making of the, how complex that is, I think it's also what. But also, I think truck drivers in the unions were like, don't make that shit so everybody can do it. They're like, no, make that as difficult as possible. I don't want anybody to jump in there. - Good point because like, if the price was right and it was like, mad easy, I might do it. - I think drivers do actually make solid money. - Oh yeah. - But the drawback is you are on the road all the time. - Like all the time, all the time. What do they make? - Well, there's all different kinds of truck drivers. I think it's-- - There's like local, there's like ones that do short. - Totally, but some of that stuff like, my dad used to tell the story is so they could specialize so much, like my, so my dad worked with this plant. Big like, you know, tractor trails would come in, drivers would get out, the driver for the plant would get in and back it into this really narrow space. So they would do that 100 times a day. - Wow. - So they would like, get out, let the guy in and he would just like, whip it in there real fast and they would-- - Oh, dude. - Yeah, it's pretty wild, right? It's like, it's a whole culture of like, yeah. - Yeah, but that's also very scary because like, that's your whole specialization. (laughing) - Yeah. - You know what the dude's like, wait. - Well, I think they do other things, but I think that's like they're big, you know. You gotta have, you know, certified and all that licenses and shit. - I'm just saying that, that-- - Trucker guy. (laughing) I pulled it out. - I'm backing up. - Hey, have y'all ever seen a lot, Lizard? (laughing) I don't think I've ever seen a lot, Lizard. - Is that, I don't think that means lizard. - They are like, ladies of the night. - Okay, yeah, I thought, I didn't know the term. I figured maybe that's what you meant. A lot of Lizard, Jesus Christ. - That's what they're called. - I've wondered about this too. I've never like seen, like, I've never been like, boom, right there, you know what I mean? - Of any kind, of any, of any-- - No, no, yeah, I have, like, in life. - Yeah. - But, like, at a truck stop, I feel like it might be-- - I don't think we're supposed to say prostitution anymore, by the way. - It's a sex worker. - Oh, okay, okay, I thought I heard, did you say it? - No, I said lady of the night. - I said lady of the night. (laughing) - I feel, I feel like, a lot of Lizard's like, I didn't invent the term. (laughing) - There's a lot of terms that none of us invented. - Well, I mean, as fair, are a lot, Lizard, are they offended? - I don't know, I don't know. - I don't know, either. - I don't know. That is one thing-- - Any lot Lizards listening to this, you can call us at 9-0. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two, two, one, nine, two, nine, three. - Is not to assume, not to assume that people are offended by things that people are offended by on their behalf. - Did y'all follow this in it? - Not, not exactly. - So, we actually, part of it was this conversation we had about, it was that, remember we were talking about Thanksgiving? - Yes, yes, okay, yeah. - Like, one thing, from that conversation and just other things, you know, and the fact that the term Latinx or Latinx or whatever is wildly unpopular in Latino communities. So, I mean, I don't know, maybe they love it. - I don't know, but I can't imagine them being like, yeah, I was a lot Lizards this weekend, I don't know. - I don't know, I don't know. - No, 'cause the way your phrase is, it's a phase, no, this is what they do on a regular basis. It was just like a wild weekend that loves, like, that's not, that's not, that's not what happened. - Like, why, yeah, yeah, this is what I'm looking at. - The mayor, dude, I don't know. - Yeah, I guess it doesn't have to be. Can you, like, you can moonlight, I guess. - Well, think about, like, maybe they're like, now I gotta hang out down on Freedom Drive, but, you know, then I gotta get up to loves for the weekend. - Yeah, you gotta. - What's this, I mean, I don't know. I was, I was, like, y'all are gonna have-- - We are, y'all are gonna have shit to say about this. - Oh boy. - But, I was on Twitter, like, I was in these little, 'cause my brother's so big on, on, X, Twitter, whatever the hell. - Yeah, whale facts. - This was back when it was Twitter, whale fact. Yeah, at a whale fact, follow him. He's not having any trouble getting followers. That's my brother. - I'm also King Jason Allen, you're gonna follow me, but go on, tell me more. - Yeah, great. (laughing) Sorry. So he, like, got me, like, all these, like, groups of people where you, like, send each other tweets and you, like, workshop them or whatever. Back when I was, like, making much more of an effort on Twitter. - Oh, okay. - Which is, you know, a few years ago. And one of the people in one of the groups was a sex worker, and she, like, she, like, took a lot of pride in her work. Like, a lot of her stuff was, like, about the, like, sort of the theme around her, around her Twitter was, like, what it's like. - Can you, can you elaborate? Was she, like, only fans, kind of, a sex worker? Or was it, like, a little lady at night? - No, this was, this was, this was, this was. - I've never heard a podcast bring that up before. (laughing) - I know what you're talking about. 'Cause I've seen similar examples, like, of a woman, I saw on TikTok, there's a woman that works at wherever the ranch is in Nevada. - She's kinda, like, slowly the chicken ranch. - Yeah, she's explaining, like, - Chicken ranch. - Her relationship with, I think it might be the buddy ranch. - The chicken ranch. - The chicken ranch. - You called it the chicken ranch, dude. - Wait, hang on. - It would, that does not sound. - I think, I think it was the chicken ranch in the, in the, wait, the greatest little whore house in Texas. - Okay, that feels right. - That's the Dolly Parden, Bert Rennelly, maybe. - I know what that is, but I think it's-- - I think it was the chicken ranch, it might be wrong, but anyway. - No, I don't. - Only fans was not, like, super mainstream at that point, or at least not that I knew of. So maybe, maybe not. What? - Just saying, it's not. - You'd be like, oh, yeah, right? - Yeah, that's exactly, yeah. - It's hilarious. So she, so I don't, I don't think so. - Okay, yeah. - But like, she was cool. I like messaged and stuff. - Okay. - I looked at it on each other's shit. - So she wasn't, she, she got paid to have sex with people. It was like-- - And all I paid her have sex with people. (laughing) - No, she did. But that was what she did. - I would admit it if I did, by the way. - No. - What? (laughing) - Why not? No, I'm not mad. - Wait, so what question did you just ask? - Was she like, did she like, have people pay for sex, or did she do other, okay, it was-- - Yeah, specifically that. - I mean, I'm sure she did other stuff too, but like, she was very open about like-- - Yeah. - This is it, and some of the stuff she posted about was like, here's how you should talk to people like me, and here's how you shouldn't. Here's what you should say. - Wow. - And stuff. - Yeah, all right. - That sounds cool. - See, but that's another thing. You don't see any like, lot lizard influencers. (laughing) - No, name it, it's like a hidden society, like what? - I mean, yeah, maybe, but there's lots of corners of the internet that, you know, come on, man, you know, algorithms work. They're not, we as far have not been presenting ourselves to the math of the internet, as people who are looking for a lot lizard content. - That's, you know, maybe it's part of the name, 'cause like, the lizards aren't really out of the open. - We're saying that. - If it's a problem-- - We're doing-- - We're screwed. - I was supposed to say that, I might get in trouble for saying this thing, right? 'Cause I would have-- - That's our segment, right? - But maybe that's part of the name. Like, they go by a lot of lizards because like, you can't, you're not supposed to see 'em, right? They, like, they scatter. (laughing) - Right? - I have no idea. - They scatter. - Like scatter with the sun comes up here. - But lizards aren't just hanging out in the open, right? I don't know, lizards, no lizards. - What's the last time you just see a lizard just standing there? - Barely, like-- - Regularly, actually, yeah. - Really? - Yeah. - I haven't seen a lizard in a minute. - Monthly. - Oh, 'cause it's cold, right? 'Cause it's, yeah. - Monthly, you'll see it, monthly. - Yeah, dude, they're just, I mean, okay, maybe not, but enough that monthly felt reasonable to say, if that makes sense. Like, they're on your door or whatever, and they're just sitting there. - Well, I'll make it up to 'em, right? - I do shit 'til you like, get up and do it. - I'll make it on fun, I sit out here in my porch, and there's lizard wood, would run from up in the trees, jump down, run across the thing, go down in front of the house, and then he would run back up, and he would do it like 10 times while I was sitting out there. - All right, yeah. - I got you on nature. - Also, even if that is why, that, that's even work. Like, that's, they're like, their behavior is like that of a reptile, let's call them-- - They'll have like, I made wide apart. - Dude, I think we should, like-- (laughing) - Tongues, something about tongue. - Something, yeah. - Yeah. - It gets cold, they move slower. - Oh, right. - Hey, you guys want to not do it? - No, dude, I think we're on a roll right now. I think we should go-- - Let's do it, let's do it. - All right, so I asked an answer, no, we're continuing. - I put that, if we were to like, hang out at a loves for like an afternoon-- - Okay. - And just try to observe, like the-- 'Cause I wanna see the lifestyle, is there a lunch break, just like the Chester's chicken that's attached to the loves? That can't be healthy long term. - What's going down in those showers? - The shap. (whooshing) - That's gonna be the same. - Part of me, though, I wonder if those showers are actually kind of like, I'm actually, for some reason, thought about this before, about, I feel like those must be like, are they, there's a possibility that they're actually like super duper clean, and like, that's like a place of like, sanctuary, you know what I mean? Like how some, within sort of any like, culture of any kind, truck or culture, or whatever, there's always like, certain things that like, apply, certain things that are valued by that group. - Yeah, like arm wrestling, like I saw over the top, that's like, they love, nothing, god damn, you guys are way too young. - I would love to-- - So that's just a long movie. Nevermind. - Right, with you. But for the people over 21 out there, you're loving that. - But I feel like those showers are probably like, real clean, that it's like a special sanctuary, a special place-- - Okay. - I actually think you're right. I mean, I've been in enough of those, where they call it over the loudspeaker, you're like, yes, I'll remember-- - Yeah, exactly, I probably have to, yeah. - They're like, they're like, have you take your-- - Well, do you know one of our friends is a trucker, who's a comedian? - Who? - Briscoe. - Briscoe. - Oh shit, I've forgotten that. - Briscoe, yeah, no, that would be a perfect person. - He might be callin' in yellin' at us. - Should we get Briscoe on and not tell him why? - I would, if I knew, if I had Briscoe's number, I knew who's available, I'd call him right now. - I'm gonna see if I do, I might. - All right. - Carry on. - Way, yeah. - Hang on, yeah. - Okay. - Jordan, you keep it goin' 'cause I think I might have his number. - Okay, cool. So I guess my next question would be, how does somebody like, specialize in truckers, right? Like, if you go into that work, why would you specifically go for truckers? - I gotta say, I feel like-- - I do not have this. - I would guess that it's probably situational. It's like, that's where you find yourself. - They got stuck at the loves and just made the most sense. - But the like, you meet someone, you're in a, all right, I don't know. - You gonna give us a scenario? - Okay. - Someone get a violin out. - Oh, this is more just like, you know, like, you're, I'm gonna guess that probably, generally, it's not a first choice of lifestyle, right? That's, that specific thing, I would think. - Okay. - I don't know. There may be some people who do that and they're like, this is what I do. - I'm not a monster, so I'm not gonna speculate, but keep going. - Yeah. (laughs) - Yeah. - I do kinda regret it. - Yeah, no, I hate it. - But, well, I'm just trying to like, think, do it like-- - Yeah, right, I getcha. - You meet the right person who's doing this thing, they have a system, they're like, here's what you do, here, take you under my wing, whatever. - Okay. - I think it's that kind of a thing. - My thought, can I jump in? I will actually jump in and say that, you're talking about long haul truckers, from my understanding. This was, this is a, they may drive for, who knows, weeks, a month, I don't know. So suddenly, that kind of companionship, maybe just mutually exclusive, mutually agreed upon scenario. I'm like, this is great, I don't know. - So-- - Are you saying, are you saying there could be, are you saying there's situations where it's not even financial? - Yeah, probably, yeah. - Interesting. - I think either way, I think they're both, everyone's kind of on board. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? - And I don't, I really don't know that, but I'm like-- - There's probably like, different versions of all of it. You know what I mean? - Yeah. - They're probably is, like, there probably is the like, where the, the, I class ones or whatever. You know, like where the-- - How about the, these, they exist, right? From what I understand, in all of these different-- - I know. - I know, I know, this is bad. I'm aware. - What we're doing is bad. - Well, there's another thing, so in NASCAR-- - I think eight things I regret. - Me too, me too. There's an thing in NASCAR, like how they call them lot lizards. - Okay. - Who are women who are interested in NASCAR drivers. - Did you say the term that we've already been using? - No, lot did. I'm sorry, I'm saying it differently. - It's a lot lizard. That's literally-- - Yeah, that's literally-- - Yeah, wait, I am, it is a different term. Hang on, wait, what is it? Oh my god. - Track. - Easy, easy, easy. Yeah, no, wait, what's it called? - I don't know, I didn't have another word. - You're right, I did just say a lot lizard. I'm trying to think of it, what is it right now? Pit lizard, it's Pit lizard, yes. - I'll see, wrapped on something about reptiles. - I wanna double check, but I'm like 99% sure it's Pit lizards. - The more we talking about it, the more and more confident I'm becoming this is terrible. - This is terrible. - Probably not a term that is embraced. - Not at all, it's horrible. We'll also like, apparently there are the ladies who like-- - It's not human, you know what I mean? - Yeah, it's not. - Okay, well I'll do my research and try to figure out where this term came from. I didn't realize it was, and it may not even be offensive. It may not, but like-- - We certainly don't mean it to be. We can move on, 'cause I don't, I'm with you guys. I certainly don't wanna hurt anyone. - It's also be clear that like sex work is work. - Yeah, yeah. - Yes, 100%. - Do your thing, do what you gotta do or do what you wanna do, whatever situation it is. - Totally. - Do your thing. - I'm on board. Should we get into this other stuff? 'Cause there's a couple things I'm curious for. - Sure. - I thought I could keep going, but yeah. (laughing) - There we go, trust me. - There we go, trust me. - Of certain cultures or what are we gonna do? - I wanna, oh Jordan, you wanna keep-- - Oh, I could keep going, 'cause love is probably like the high end, and then blind Jay is probably mid-tier. - Blind Jay's lower. - If you work at Pylie, you are, wait, hold on. How are these in the tears? Are you just sorta grabbing at 'em for the bit sake? Or do you actually have-- - Love is like the better truck stop out of those three. - Flying Jay loves-- - Flying Jay and Pylie are basically the same thing, so I'll give you that, but I think love is at the top. - What about buckies? - Oh, I didn't even think of buckies. - That's probably the big-- - I don't know if that's like a-- - I don't know if that's-- - They had trucks there, though? - Yeah, they got off the truck? - I don't know, literally never been. - Buckies is huge, I don't know if they got in this truck, it's terrible. - They would have to, right? It seems like they would-- - They got like 100 pumps. - That's what I'm saying, if it's that big. - Yeah, I think they got a truck section. Matter of fact, yeah, buckies will be at the top, 'cause not only that, if you remember going to a buckies, they have like the sign to say like, the managers make six figures and like all these things. Do people at a buckies get paid? - Holy shit, man. - So yeah, no, those are probably the high end-- - I wasn't even thinking about interactions with employees of the place. - Yeah, so that's a whole 'nother level, so if they're getting money like that and you got the truck drivers, those are like the paid reptiles. - Those are the paid reptiles. - But that is fascinating. What do you think there's anybody who like, or a very, very, very specialized version of it would be, they only mess with truck stops. They're just like, they're just at the quick trip, just like just in case. - All right, that's like the Uber driver equivalent. It's just like, that's a gig. - I can't say what I wanna say, 'cause I feel like maybe I've crossed a line though, in this one. - We done been crossing the line. - I feel like if you, all right, I'll say is, I feel like if you are at the quick trip, you're not a lot lizard, you're just-- - Yeah, you just-- - Oh, okay. - Yeah. - Sex worker, traditional sex worker. - We're trying so hard to have an unokay conversation and do it respectfully. - We're bringing it in 2025, hot, is what we're doing. (laughing) We're doing it. - The podcast is-- - This is all dude. - We're changing it up. - We're gonna get temporarily canceled one day, 'cause of this. Someone's gonna look back on it and be like in 2025. - You can't say bad things about lizards. - No, it's no, it's gonna be like 10 years from now. - Yeah, I know. (laughing) - Oh, it's a little-- - And if you-- (laughing) - That'd be good. - Okay, thanks. (laughing) - All right, I'm sorry Jason. - Have you satisfied your needs done? - Well, that's not even that word in the context of this conversation. - I just sat on Bill's Messiah into the mic looking at this. - Yeah. - Nothing about the fact that no one will have-- - No one will have any idea. - You won't vote context to that. - Correct. - All right, so we are gonna take a left turn because this to me is like, as a fascinating thing that's happening and it may end up being done later, but right now these drones that are flying over New Jersey. - Yes. - The coast of New Jersey. - The fact that it's been going on, we briefly discussed this early. - The fact that it's been going on for month-ish. - Yeah, it's definitely weeks. - And no one really has-- - The government is saying they don't know. As of today, the government's like, we don't know what they are. They're safe, this is what they're saying. They're safe, but we don't know what they are. - What? - I know. - Those two things don't go together. - They don't at all. - Here's, so at this point, there's only, there's only, with them saying they don't know what it is, there's only two possibilities. One, they're telling the truth and that's bad that they don't know. - Sure, yeah. - Two, they're lying and that's bad 'cause if they're saying they don't know and they do, that means it's real shady. - Yeah. - So like either they don't know and that's scary or they do know and that's all so scary. There's nothing good about this. - Yeah. - I feel like there's no theories. - Because, what do you mean you don't know? - It says something up there, check it out. (laughing) - Kinda. - They're just like-- - We use drones all the time. - Yeah, all the materials are just looking up. Like, I don't know, man. (laughing) - All of our drones are in the Middle East cause chaos. I think the drones are the new crop circles. That's what I think. Okay, remember when crop circles were a big deal? - Yeah. - They were like all over the place, right? - So you're saying like probably most of these are just drones? - It's probably a couple Italian kids with birthday presents. - Italian kids, why are they Italian? - These are in Jersey. (laughing) - Okay, so I got, it's a lot of losers, it's crazy, but then we're-- - Wild. - Oh, you saw it, it was funny, that was like-- - You know what, okay, I think maybe whoever's doing this is the same person or people that were behind that balloon, that was over Myrtle Beach. - No, that was, we already know-- - That was China. - That was China. - That really was China. - That was a China spy balloon. - I mean, these might be Chinese drones there. - You figured that out pretty fast though. I might be spreading misinformation. (laughing) - All we're doing is spreading misinformation. - Actually, someone in Myrtle Beach took it down. - No, exactly, yes, they learned, like you're gonna fly out of something, you better do it up North and I work up. (laughing) - Not only South, but like where the South goes to be real South. - Yeah. (laughing) - There's some hot lizards vacation in Myrtle Beach. (laughing) That has to be the headquarters. - I love Myrtle Beach, it is. - Listen, Myrtle. - Well, I got no beef with Myrtle Beach, but it is. - Every year I go. - It's the-- - Oh yeah, you're family. Right, you have a bit about it. - Yes, we go every year. It is so much fun, man. I mean, we're not downtown, Myrtle, you know what I mean? - What is, I think I've been to the beach of Myrtle Beach, I think. But what's it like, 'cause it's been, I either haven't or it's been-- - I've got a couple of experiences there. It's mostly fine. - Yeah. - But tell me, but-- - We go to North Myrtle, right? - Oh, that's-- - Cherry Grove. - Which is very different. - Yeah, it is. - But I have, so me and a girlfriend went one time, we stayed at one of the, like, we're right downtown. It was, it was a lot. I mean, it was like cops every block, like a lot of cops. - It just has like a real corny vibe. - Yeah, it's like, you know what I mean? - Like, there's like a strip everyone's driving, there's a lot of music playing, there's a lot of people walking around. - I don't think so. - I don't think they got gambling, but they got like, Ripley's Believe It or Not, they got like a haunted house. - So it's Pigeon Forge. - Yeah, Pigeon Forge with water. - Yeah, I'm trying to think of another example. - Pigeon Forge is a bummer. - No, I know, I know, I went to Dollywood with Nora, and Dollywood's awesome, I love Dollywood, it's so fun. It's corny, of course, but it's a lot of-- - Corny's fun, I can handle it. - Yeah, I really had a fun time. But then when I was just like, we were leaving the park, and I was just like, let's just, we want to just drive and see what's up with Pigeon Forge and maybe go do something. And we sort of drove down there. It's not even a strip, it's like a highway, but with a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be on a highway. On the side, it's like what you're describing, but with like a eight lane highway. - A lot of boiled peanut stand and shit. - And a lot of-- - It's so weird to me. - And like, Christian Dinner Theater, I think that's what it said on it. - It is, yes. - Something like that. Like, something along those lines. And just a bunch of stuff, and I just said to-- - I think it's the comedy born, actually. - What? - I think it's actually called the comedy born. I was in Tennessee. - And that's where they have Christian Dinner Theater. - 'Cause I remember on the website, I was like, oh, I wanted to have open mice, 'cause you know where comedians were always-- - Yeah, always looking for a spot. - And I read it, I was like, oh, this is not where I want to be. - It's called the comedy born? - I think it's called the comedy born. - Whatever places I'm thinking about, I think it said, I think like the sign on the building said Christian Dinner Theater. Maybe, maybe not. Either way. But so-- - Is it just a lot of people sitting politely and eating dinner? - I don't know, man. It's probably, you know what it probably is, is like Bible stories dramatized while you're eating. - Yeah, I bet it is. - Or, or, or-- - Nothing makes me hungry, like a good Bible story. - I mean, you can eat the flesh and all that, but-- - Communion, you know? It's just communion. It's just expensive community. - It's expensive, it's communion bread and wine, charge you $400. - Is it like people from the Bible are like, it's kind of like that-- - They're the waiter, they're the waiter. - This is your waiter. - You're like, "Hello, I'm Abraham." What would you like? This seems like-- - Oh, man. Hello, I'm Satan, oh my-- - Wow. - All my food I serve is spicy, so. - So we were driving down, I don't even, at this point, who even cares, but we were driving down, and at one point I was just like, "Nora, is this a bummer?" She was like, "This is a bummer." (laughing) - I couldn't imagine that living in a town or the whole town was tourism. - Yeah, sure, yeah. - So many Trump stores too, those-- - Oh, you know, in stores that are in there. - Yeah, yeah, oh my god. - Yeah, tourist towns in general seem a little bit like a bummer, I've never really lived in one, but I certainly, you know, know people like, I think of like New England, right? Like, that time when you're up there and having a great time, whatever, and then it's like, off months, it's like, "Ugh, it just seems like a real--" - Where do you mean just like-- - I'm thinking like, where you go to see the leaves and stuff? - A little bit, I'm thinking more like, I don't know, Provincetown and shit like that. Like, on the, you know. - That kind of tour-- - Northern coastal, it's like Vermont. - Or like Vermont, stuff like that. That seems like it could be okay. - If it's like, if it's beautiful. Like, if it's beautiful there. - I'm thinking that I was, where was I? And I think it was in Newport, Rhode Island. I went visit to my friend, off season. - The wildly rich-- - Yes, and it was like, yeah, it was really weird. Like, the beaches were all, it had like this red, like seaweed and shit. It was just really-- - That is, I'm thinking of the right place. That's where like, billionaires have-- - Newport, it's the yacht capital of the world. - Oh, yeah, okay. - I mean, I'm literally, like, the biggest-- - It's like, you know, it's like-- - Were like, you, they were there. I, that's the time, I told you guys the story before. We were, we got, we were buying booze. And this guy was in front of us. And he had, you know, three, four bottles of like wine and liquor, whatever. It was like $5,000. And the guy had, he paid in cash. - Wow. (laughing) - Wow. - We were just like, my friend, he got a new job there, or whatever. He was right, right, a couple of years after college, and he was there, and that was the experience. He walked out, and there was like, literally, like a $10 million yacht. It was a mate. - It's amazing. - I wanna be so rich. That would be so amazing. - That's crazy. - That would be incredible. Like, I would, a part of me would probably hate myself, but like, just to be able to just be like-- - Hate yourself to be rich? We keep doing what would you rather is about? - Well, it's, I mean, there's two people. - And we already settled 2,500 a week. (laughing) - There's, there's always an implication for me, an unspoken, like, but I'll hate myself. - Yeah, you got some guilt issues, buddy. - You got work on that. - Oh, I wonder where those came from. (laughing) - That dinner theater. - That dinner theater. - You're waiting. - Actually, my 30 years of dinner theater. - Do you guys believe in aliens? - Yeah, I think so. - There's, yeah, I thought I got to be something. - That's quick, all right. You both, I like this. - I thought it's gotta be something. We can't be the only life force in the universe. - The universe is mad news. I don't know actual math, but I'm guessing statistically, like, just instinctual statistics. There's gotta be, right? - Yeah, I saw it. - You guys have been reading anything about this, so there was the Hubble telescope, now there's the Webb telescope. The Webb is downward version. - Why? - Wow, so do you know that there is a major, this is, I don't know, this has probably been going on for a long time, I'm just picking up on it. There's two majorly different theories on how old the universe is and what is currently happening in the universe. I've read about this, like, a little while ago. - Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior created the Earth 2,000 years ago. - Well, they're saying that there is something about the, I'm sure there's a lot of math involved in this, but their numbers aren't matching up and what's happening is Webb, apparently, is registering something or reading something that they say is beyond the physics that we understand, this is the newest thing that came out. - Did it just matter? - It's not dark, it's unexplained at this point. - It's just, it's just, we don't even-- - The drones. - Yeah, they're like, we don't know-- - The drones, the drones, the billions of light years of light. - These Italian kids were the ones that-- - Where are these? - Oh, my kids. - I know a couple of Italian kids. You know what I'm talking about. - Do you have, like, I want to understand this more. - I, but I have to look it up because I-- - It's essentially saying that a lot of the stuff that we knew from Hubble, Webb is like taking us even deeper and deeper in it and for whatever reason, the age of the universe and the rate at which the universe is expanding, those numbers aren't matching up anymore and they, they're not sure why. They think Webb's working fine. - I love shit like this. - But they're like, it's starting to register something that is not calculating correctly and I'm sure that I'm totally butchering this but it's amazing. - I am all about fundamental realities all of a sudden being wrong. I love that shit where it's just like, it's just exciting to me. - I totally-- - It's like we thought this about everything and it turns out-- - There's two things that I totally subscribe to that. - What I'm saying is science is a fraud. - Well, do you know that there's a guy who created the warp drive, you guys, Star Trek, Star Wars. Warp drives, you've heard the term of-- - When the stars become little lines and you go real fast. - Yeah, you go really fast. It's the idea is, if a universe is a piece of paper, you fold the paper together and that warp drive is essentially squishing the earth together. - Can I do a sleight or a side on this topic? - Yeah. - Like an interstellar, they do that, right? They like fold the paper, describe it. - It's too like physicists talking to each other. That's one of those moments where it's just like you're, this is for the benefit of the viewer. No two scientists would ever have this conversation. Oh, it's like a folded piece of it. No, they'd be like, here's the math. I love shit like that. - Brian Cox, Neil deGrasse type. Every time I hear them talk, I'm like, "Ooh, you were dumbing this down." - Yeah, they're dumbing it down so hard. - That's funny. - Yeah, Christopher Nolan does that shit a lot. Which is fine, I mean, I love these movies. But like they do, like I just watched a re-watched inception. - Oh man. - 40% of that movie is explanation. - But like it has to be. - This is how inception works. When you do this, you do this. And one person says the thing and then it's like, and then Joseph Gordon Levitt says another thing that connects perfectly the thing that the Capri said. And then it like, when you break that stuff down, you're like, oh, this is, anyway. - So, a guy, believe is an American guy, created a warp drive, right? It was like the description of it was like it would be on the table in there, small one. And he like took it to very smart people, multiple smart people. This is probably 10, 15 years ago. - What does that mean? Like I know like in Star Wars, they go faster than the speed of light and whatever, whatever, in the wormhole, whatever. But what is-- - It's literally the paper. So essentially it bends the fabric of the universe together so you can-- - Dude made a machine that does this? - Yes, it theoretically, it does this. All of whatever those things are that check all the boxes. So he created this. He took it to NASA and a bunch of other, and I think he took it to other people, other countries and stuff. It was like, this works, but I don't know why it works. NASA apparently did all these tests and they were like, it does work. We don't know why it works. - Oh my God. - So it's not like, it's not like on a spaceship right now. It's literally like being tested and they're trying to learn and figure out what. And I don't know what it means in terms of it working outside of going. It needs to do x, y, z, right? And that means whatever there's problem. - Wait, so who's this dude? - It's a guy. - Is he some dude? - He's some dude who apparently dabbles. He's like an engineer and he's like-- - He's not like dabbles. - He's not like dabbles. - You're searching the university? - Yeah, dabbles. - No, I don't think so. It's been a while since I read about this. But yeah, like you can look this up right now. If you're listening to this, look it up. Be like the guy who created Warp Drive. - Dude, that's such an interesting story. - It's incredible. - Yeah, yeah, that's how so many things have been created, right? - Yeah, but not fucking space drawing that, yeah. - Yeah, that's fair. - That's fair. - This isn't Microsoft or whatever. - Yeah. - Even that, this isn't like some invention. This is something that NASA doesn't understand. - Well, look at the hydro collider. It's another one. Like they're talking about-- - Oh, that's just crazy, man. - Yeah. - Anybody here subscribed to the Mandela effect? - When it's like, that's a glitch in the-- - So apparently it's happened around the time of, they narrowed it down to where they think this may have happened and it was just after, or during, the Mandela's, I think it was Mandela's funeral. - Right. - That's when all the, apparently you can trace it back to that, that that's when it happened. And there was one that was very recent. - No, no, no. This is unrelated to that. This is the Mandela effect. That's like the main thing they use, they think that it might have been the time. So are you familiar with it? You're familiar with it. - No, the Mandela effect is because a bunch of people thought he was dead when he wasn't. - Yeah. - That's why it's called that. - There's a whole bunch of Barristine Bears versus-- - No, I'm saying, no, I'm saying, but that's why it's called that. - Yes, that's right. - Oh. - So that's like the main sort of point at which they think that it may have happened. - Well, it wouldn't have, why would, but then he actually was dead. - Because there wasn't time before that where there was like a missed, a miscue. Does that make sense? - I don't understand. - Because you're saying it happened at the time of his death, that wouldn't make sense. - Why? - Because the Mandela effect was all about the fact that he is, that he was still alive and who I thought he wasn't. - Okay, that's fair. So whatever the, whatever that funeral thing or whatever it was that was happening, I remember there was like people like, oh yeah, it was a celebration or whatever. Was it when he got out of jail or-- - I don't know if it had a discreet moment. - That's what I'm saying. I think that there was. - Oh, oh, oh, there was a discreet moment when everyone was like, oh shit, we thought he was dead. - Suddenly now everyone has this. - So it couldn't have been, oh, so it could have been maybe his funeral and people were like, wait, that's what's happening. - That's what's happened. - Oh wait, I thought he was all right. - Right. - Okay. - I got you, I got you. - So from that point, so the Barristine Bears, all this other kind of shit or whatever, and they think it's the hydrone collider that was working at that time, I don't even think it was that. - Whoa. - Anyway. - I want that to be real. - There was one that was recently happening and it was a Christmas song, and God damn it, I'm not gonna remember the song. I would have bet the farm that on this one particular lyric, and someone just posted it this discreet recently a couple of like two weeks ago, I would have bet my house on this. And it was, I can't remember, it was like, I don't know if it's, I'll be home for Christmas. You can, oh, I'll be home for Christmas. I'll be home for Christmas. You can. - Count on me. - Count on me. - Yes, it's not that. - What is it? - You can plan on me. - What? - See up here, but they just didn't have rap genius back in like the '60s. - It's totally count on me. I'm sorry, it was count on me. They got Sinatra doing it, they got Nat King Cole doing it, they all say plan. I saw that and I'm like, that's crazy. I do a joke about that particular song. I was like, that's nuts, there's no way. It's never been planned on me. - Shut up. - It's so dumb. - It's so dumb and fun. - I mean, the big diamond farms one fucked me up. - There's that one, there's the Sinbad like Shazam movie. - The Sinbad was Shazam movie. - Yeah. - And it was actually Shaq. - Shaq, yeah. - That one, that one I remembered. - Yeah, I remember the channel. I think I had that one, Tate. - What is Fruitlips? - Oh wait, but was it Shazam or Kazam? - Oh yeah, maybe it was it. - It was like a double thing, I think. It was like Shazam versus Kazam and who played him. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Is it Kazam? - I've been Kazam for Sinbad. - Yeah, that one didn't feel as strong to me. - Interesting. - But the Barranstein Barranstein, what? - Yeah. - I know. - That one's crazy. - I think I probably thought Mandela was dead too. Maybe, I don't know, I'd have to think. - Yeah, I can't remember that one. - 'Cause I can't, but there was a time of the Hydra on Collider, but I don't think it was like those times don't match up. I don't think it existed, I don't know. It's all confusing. - The large hat. - And ridiculous, before. - Collider started, it was, it's been a minute. - It has been around? - Yeah, yeah. - And it like failed, quote unquote. I can't remember like in what way. - There was, I can't remember what that means for it to have failed. - There was part of the scientific community that was like, don't ever turn that on. This is a huge problem. Like this is gonna mess up a lot of things. The earth, the universe. - Yeah. - Like, I don't know. - We don't know. - Do we just count it, man? - Sure. - Time and space is weird. - It's weird. - But also. - It's weird. - Those are like some of my favorite movie plots. When someone like accidentally opens up a new portal. - Yeah. - Like what would you do? You just accidentally like. - Yeah. - I don't know. - So I'll pour it to the fifth dimension or whatever. - I used to read books that were like, books that would, as a kid like Narnia, you find like the cupboard, you know. - The cup, yeah. - The wardrobe. - And you would like go in and do it. - I read so many books. - Ditching the witch is the wardrobe. - Yeah, right. Yeah, I love those books that were like portals to a different event. - Right, yeah. - A Dungeons and Dragons cartoon was exactly that. It was like normal kids, all of a sudden they're back in sort of medieval times. - It was amazing. - I saw this. - Fake medieval. - TikTok or real or whatever of it was this, it was this girl or whatever, woman and maybe in her 20s. - Lizard. - Lizard egg. (laughing) - I couldn't get it out. I was drinking. I was like, it's amazing. And she, it was a video of like her grandpa. I'm disappointed with myself for doing this. To begin with, but. And he basically made like, he made a secret. It's like a closet door or something and it goes into this like, enormous room that's like all like, I wish I could remember everything. But it's like magical and beautiful and all this stuff. And then the caption was something like POV. (laughing) - Oh, of course. - Your grandpa has an actual magical something something. And I had such mixed feelings about it. I was like, that's really cool and fuck rich people. I had both of those feelings at the same time. I was like this and everything about the video pitched it as like, this is what it is like to have a wonderful childhood or whatever. And I'm just like, go fuck yourself. - It was very cool, but also it just, the overall feeling was fuck you. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - All right, so we've been doing this for a minute. What do you guys think? We're about 50 minutes in. Let's take a little break. - And then we can please talk about mysteries of the universe more after this because that's all I ever wanna talk about. - I was gonna bring up that I listened to Medieval Madness on YouTube. It's like 10, 15 minute clips of like, what things were like in Medieval Times. - Okay. - But I won't bring it up. - Can I quickly ask you guys, do you buy the possibility that we're in a simulation? I buy it as a possibility. - Okay, tell me more. What exactly does that mean? - That means that there is, there are conscious beings of some, like aliens, whatever you wanna call them, who created, whether on purpose or not, created what turned out to be our universe. - The Matrix. - No, no, not necessarily. Well, it could be. - The Matrix is a total, I think it's exactly what we're saying. The Matrix, not that the robots, but that it did. - Well, the Matrix is a simulation in this, but it's like intentional and fake. It's like you're plugged into a thing that's like, and you're being used for resources and stuff. I think for me, what I'm talking about is like, they just made a thing and it became the universe. - Does the motivation really matter, though? - Well, I'm not talking about like-- - The motivation of whoever created it. - Well, but no, in the Matrix, we're still, this universe is still, there's still like, 'cause you know, when you leave the Matrix, like you're still on Earth, like it's still Earth. - I follow, you know what I'm saying? - But I guess I was using the Matrix as an example. - It works, but I get it. - But I think what I'm talking about is more expansive. It's like our whole entire universe, the stars, all of it, it's not that it's fake. It's that it was created by, and like, I guess you could think of them as gods, whatever, but like, but just like people like us. So I've heard a thing people talking about like, how if we ever manage to do that, which is like a thing that scientists don't, I'm sure not all of them agree, but like there are serious real mainstream scientists who are like, we might create a universe. It's possible. And then if that happens-- - This is a great episode of "Rick and Morty." - Yes, that is an amazing episode. If that happens, the odds then instantly reveal themselves to be tiny that we are not in a simulation, 'cause think about it. If we do that, what are the odds that we're the first-- - It's literally the episode from "Rick and Morty." - Yeah, each new thing builds its own. - So you're not saying that like, the way I'm experiencing life right now isn't real, and I'm really like plugged up. - Right, so that would be more the matrix. - Okay, yeah, right. - I'm talking about it's real, all of it is, there's stars, there's everything from the universe, it's expanding all of it. But it was made by other people, you know, not people, like beings with brains. Like-- - Oh, I mean, yeah, I guess if you like believe in God, yeah, you can't, or-- - Yeah, I mean, it's definitely that. - It is, it is, but it's like, yeah, I mean, I guess, yes, in a sense, but I'm thinking like, not with a sort of worshiping, not with like a, the idea is not like, it was spontaneous you created out of me because I am God and I am good. It's like a scientific thing, you know, like people like did science shit and made it. - And that couldn't like be-- - There's nuts and bolts in this fantastical idea of what nuts and bolts are. - And it may have even been an accident, but even the way that anything in science can sometimes be an accident. - Sure. - It's also the Simpsons, Maggie, little bit of electricity in her. - I haven't seen this. - You haven't seen it, so they say that Rick and Morty ripped off the Simpsons. - It's impossible not to. - Yeah, I was that whole South Park episode, right? The Simpsons already did it. - Yeah, yeah, so yeah, she like, you know, rubbed her feet on the carpet so she built up a-- - I remember, yeah, I didn't remember. - And she-- - Right, so we could get rid of that. - Was this and she like, sort of gave life to something and all of a sudden she's like, oh my God, and at one point they're hammering up a thing. - Oh, she's like, I made Lutherans as what she said. - Yeah, so it could be like, well, we have this sense of there being a God. Yeah, it could be that these-- - These are the things, yeah, God. - And so, the idea of it not being, but I might, let me jump into the idea of it not being planned is the only thing that's throwing me. - Well, I think it would be-- - We're not being observed by this or them. - Maybe, maybe not. To me, it's-- - The lack of observation pulls me out of this idea. - I think, well, I'm not, I'm just-- - I know you're not suggesting one or the other, but in my brain for this to be a thing, someone needs to be observing it. - It could be observing or it could be that it got so out of hand that they can't observe it anymore. Like, it became so big and like everything. - Whoever's playing my character is kicking ass. That's all I'm saying. - That's another bit, you guys. - That's another bit, yeah. - You call that. - But, so y'all are like, it's a good bit too. But, so y'all, you're like, you're like maybe, okay? - I guess I wouldn't rule it out. - Yeah. - I put it at, I put it at 10%. - Okay. - 10% chance based on your instinct. - This goes to the, to me, the like, the basis of like, we're not anywhere in a place to even remotely understand the ocean. (laughing) - Yeah, yeah, exactly. - We know more about space than we do the elaborate. - Yeah, it's like, so I struggle with the idea of, sure, it's possible, I don't understand. - Yeah, you're not, you're not, you know, you don't have the ego to say, but like, okay, does it-- - That's sort of my take on the whole religion God do too. - There's more of, let's not say possible then, let's say plausible. - Plausible, absolutely. - Yeah. - I think it's plausible too. If I had to guess, I'd say no, but I don't freaking know. - How about this, I'll go to the height of which I think-- - The Mandela effect thing though does, I'm like, that's weird. - The fact that we went from, what was it, 60 years from flight to, whatever, to going to the moon, was 60 years. - That is crazy. That's nothing. - What that to me is, that's the, that's why they always talk about the, what's it called, the, not the unity, the-- - Theory of everything? - No, it's, it's that our, it's singularity. - Singularity, right? - So the idea of singularity is, is that to me seems very, very real and because of technology from the wheel to, not agriculture, what do you think of, the industrial revolution to, you know, whatever, space flight, like that number is the right, the same, what's that called, the cornucopia number, the-- - You got, you got me on this. - You know what I'm thinking? - I can't, those are the things that I think are real. Those things are just, they're trackable. So I think the idea of us getting to the singularity is not about its possibility. - I wonder if that would be like, if AI becomes sentient or whatever. - They're suggesting that, that could be the singularity. - And maybe, and maybe that is, maybe that becomes a universe of sorts, maybe AI wonders if something created it. - Yeah. - This is interesting. - Yeah, maybe that then becomes universe we created. So what, you're such a, I think it's all, I think-- - Oh, me too, I love it. - So much fun to talk about. - My brain is exploding right now, I love it. - I mean, how much, how much footage, and I'm not, I am not one of these people about the, the aliens and the spaceships and ship, but I'm like, how, how many things do we have to see before? We're like, that's pretty real. - Yeah. - Come on. - What do we, Roswell, that's just, is the first thing I wanna like, you know, make fun of someone for bringing it up, but also, yeah, that was something. It wasn't nothing. - If it was nothing, it's a big time nothing. - It's a big old island, that's exactly right. So to me, I, you know, there's other things you can look at where they think there's like three or four different kinds of aliens that walk around. Have you heard any of this shit? - No, no, I haven't heard that. - This idea of, someone commandeered the lizard people, we're back on lizards. Someone commandeered that. - Don't actually somehow prove something. Jordan's like, yeah, I mean, there's like, there's those really fun things where there's like, there's like a blonde, there's like a blonde group of aliens. - I think we're in covering something right here. I almost have on Jason's point, but now I have a new theory. - Just because of its words. - Well, no, because, because, think about it, who has, who brought the existence of lizard people to the mainstream? I feel like that was the right, right? With the conspiracy theories, or am I wrong? - I think it's, I think it was before there was right left. - Yeah, I think that was the whole time. - I think a lot of times, it's sort of like, cold, the right and conspiracy theories have found each other. - Right, okay. - That I totally subscribe to, you are correct. - Okay, I would also say truck drivers probably a little more right-leaning. - There is an Instagram account that I follow called the liberal trucker. So yes, I mean, that which shows that like, that's a-- - Exactly. - Canadian truckers went on strike. That was a whole right-wing thing up in Canada for-- - So this whole thing? - Right-wing thing. - Yeah? - Yeah, exactly. - It was upside down, it was on strike. - That was a right thing, yeah. - Right, yes. Yeah, there's an irony to that. - That's like the most liberal thing you can do is go on strike, traditionally. So now this whole underground society of these workers that we can't seem to find unless you're a trucker. (laughing) - That have a lizard moniker. - Ooh. - Yeah, 'cause the word, 'cause they have no-- - 'Cause it's there, but you're on the side. - Listen, guys. - Have you ever seen an actual lizard out of loves? (laughing) - I don't, it don't-- - And you haven't, no, you have never seen it. - Neither you nor I know whether that I have seen a lizard at love. - Okay, tell me I'm wrong, you haven't seen one. - I don't know. I've been to a loves and I've seen a lizard. Have those two things ever come together? It's certainly possible. What point are you making? - I'm making the point of-- - You're making a language joke. - You haven't seen actual lizards there and you haven't seen lot lizards there. That's where they're getting the name. - There you go. - I've-- - I've never seen it. It's like you've never seen them in the same place at the same time. - I don't think you don't. - Listen, we're gonna leave it right there. This is like, I feel like this is a cliffhanger. Where this is gonna go? We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back on the-- - I'm gonna do some Google. - Zoning out podcast presented by the Comedy Zone. - I'm fact-checked meta. - Good to see you at ltcommysome.com for a full schedule.

(upbeat music) - Welcome back everybody to the Zoning Out podcast presented by the comedy zone. Get good at it. Listen, I know we may have scared a lot of people away that last segment. There was a lot happening there. There was a lot. Now, some things have happened when we took a little break and I kind of wanna back away into the shadows. - Jonathan, being the white knight that he is, got so up in the arms about the terminology that he had to take his sweater off. He just, he got that heated over it. - He okay? - Oh, I was like, what are we talking about? Yeah, listen, man. - So, I'm here to say, according to Google Gemini, yes, a lot of lizard is considered offensive. (laughing) - Oh, no. - I read the rest. - Oh, no. - Because it's a derogatory slang term used to refer to a sex worker, particularly one who operates at truck stops, often implying exploitation and dehumanization of women in that situation. - You guys, do you hear me? - We are cooked! (laughing) - So, there's that. But then also, (laughing) I dug into Quora. - I dug into Quora. (laughing) - If you're grasping at Quora, you've lost the fight. - Well, this is coming from, I won't read his name from probably since, but this is a former truck driver and he explains the name of the lizard. - He got his name on the internet? - He did, but the name of the lizard. - Sorry if I ain't Gary, shout out to Gary. (laughing) The name of the lizard came from the prostitutes that crawled from truck to truck to truck at stop. - Jesus, it's even worse. Hairless areas, yeah. - Did he say crawl? - Yes. - Now, if you don't like-- - Well, that feels offensive. - But that's just walking. (laughing) - We don't know. We haven't seen, we don't know. We don't know. - Wow. - But if you don't like-- - Jordan term. - Jordan term. - Nothing. - Other names include-- - Oh, no. - Oh, no. - Quora, this is a plainness on Quora. - Quora, truck driver. Other names include portable ladies, recreational reptiles that I do like the little right thing. - At Jordan said treat. (laughing) - At Jordan said troll. I'm not gonna read the start with. The start was just wildly offensive. - Wait, where are the first-- - Read, it's the last line. Yeah, that's their one. Wow, I'm not reading that. - Honestly, I don't even know if it's any worse than the other ones, to be honest. Nah, I think that was a little bad. - Wait, where's that point? - Just the bottom of that first paragraph. - Which one? - The John Reed of the top one. The top paragraph. - Oh, no. - Yeah. - Hold that up, hold that up. - Yeah, that's rough. (laughing) - That's tough. - You did John Reed. (laughing) - Sorry, sorry listeners, indoor viewers. You're gonna have to look that one up yourself. 'Cause it's somehow worse than all the stuff we've already seen. - Yeah, it definitely is worse, wow. - Oh, sorry, no. (laughing) - Because if you are like me and Jonathan, you're number one source. - Don't fucking love me in with you. - Nah, we are the rest of this episode. - We are co-ops. - If you are me and Jonathan and Jason, fine, you're in too. (laughing) - Yeah, wait, thanks Jonathan. You brought me into this shit. - Fucking, our favorite BL3 of us all. - Our favorite source Reddit has a thread on here, if that's what it's called. - Notably reliable source Reddit. - Those that let the lizard in, was it fun or pure regret? One person describes the as, don't like a car crash. I can't look away when I see one. - No, this is getting worse. Oh, no. - You know what, fine. Yeah, I'm ready to go. - I mean, do you think, man, but-- - Nah, you're not jumping in with me. I'm not gonna keep digging as hard as I am. I mean, I am, I don't know if entertained is the word, but I am engaged. - Yeah. - My God. - It's really, I've always said this, like if one day we woke up and they're like, redneck is offensive. I was like, I'll stop saying redneck. - Oh yeah, we talked about that. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. - So I'm like, if lot lives-- - We do it till you know, and now we're done. - Now, okay, now that I know-- - We're referring, we are retiring LL. - Okay. (laughing) - I just want to also point out, this really started off as pure curiosity. - Yes. - 'Cause I don't even remember what the first question I asked was, but I had no idea. This really expanded. I'm gonna try, the back of my brain is gonna be doing, is gonna be trying to find, trace it back, the rest of the podcast. - Now, you know what makes this very difficult? It's because we still have to pick a title for this show episode. (laughing) - And there's one that's real, seems real simple. - Yeah, I mean, (laughing) it's kinda dominating the conversation tonight. It should be, you know what it should be. - It's gonna be George's album now. - It's gonna be L, asterisk, asterisk. - If my name are comedy album now, yo. (laughing) - That's a good idea. - I think the title should be L, asterisk, asterisk, L. - How are we going with it? - Yeah, that's pretty good. (laughing) - Oh, we are so sorry to the sex workers of America and every nation. (laughing) - Okay, that was great. All of that was very funny. I hope we still have listeners after that. Can we, a pallet cleanser? After the, after a lot, lubon. (laughing) - Loves? - I would love to move on. - How about a would you rather, that is not too dissimilar to the conversation about science and all that kind of shit we were just doing. - Okay, I love it. - All right, I'm gonna do this one. Okay. You're getting some, you're getting summoned to a new world tomorrow. - Ooh, it's like a story. - Yeah. - Okay. - So, kind of like what we just talked about. You're getting summoned to a new world tomorrow. Would you rather it be, this is the theme of the world you're being summoned to, steampunk, cyberpunk, medieval, fantasy, a la final fantasy if you guys know the game, magic, a la Harry Potter, or some game-like feature. - What do you mean game-like feature? - I don't really know, I got this from Reddit. - Just like, I'm thinking like Mario, maybe Mario Brothers, I don't know. - See, I'm not too familiar with like steampunk and-- - I sort of, so steampunk is like, it's like-- - It's almost a mash between like Western, it's sort of like this industrial-- - There's goggles involved. - Industrial revolution, kind of gears and things like that, but it's also sort of-- - Oh, like Mad Max? - You know when there's people with guns who also have goggles? - Oh, actually, you know what I mean? - And there's-- - You guys keep talking. - And they're underground a lot, I think. - Okay. - And I'm trying to think of more like-- - I'm pulling it up. - 'Cause I do know what it is, but I don't know like-- - It's an amazing aesthetic, so hang on. It's like, it's like, it's like in "Super Industrial" and like the fights happen around pipes mostly. - Oh, okay. - It's pipes, lots of pipes. - I had to put the mic down, so I just did a quick-- - Oh, this is like a Will Smith movie. - Yes, exactly. - Yeah, wow, wow, wow. - Yeah, wow, wow, wow. - But is it always-- - That's like a cheesy version. - But is it always, is it always like past? Is it always like 18? - No, because like-- - Century? - A little bit, and then so cyberpunk. - Oh, maybe I'm thinking of cyberpunk then. - Yeah, I think cyberpunk is-- - Is that goggles? Is that more goggles? There's goggles involved in one of these. - Anyway, I'm going with Harry Potter. I'll go to the magic. I want to explore these things more. That's where I'm leaning as well, but-- - All right, so check that out, that's cyberpunk just in a general-- - Okay, this is more-- - This is more of what I was thinking of, I think. - So like almost like Blade Runner, sorta a little bit. - Yeah, so then there's like medieval, right? So then it's imagine Game of Thrones, or I'll take that. So there's like Game of Thrones, kind of a, you know, there's that world, like Final Fantasy is like, to me is a re-cyber punk-ish. - I don't really know, I mean, I know what it is. - You guys play Final Fantasy? - I'm aware of it, yeah. - I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy. - Can you give me some of the vibe? - Is it like anime, I know it's not-- - It's a little anime, but it's like anime energy. - Yeah, a little bit, yeah, yeah, like big weapons stuff. - Magic, obviously, hair and water. - So in these scenarios, are all of the dangers and adventures and do you exist inside of all the same risks and stories and everything? - Yes, you show up and you, so-- - So some asshole-- - I'm gonna heighten this. - So some asshole in a top hat might stab me with an electric cane. - Correct, but you are going to arrive and you are going to assimilate almost immediately and you are going to have some power. - Am I gonna know, am I gonna forget that I'm new to the world? - No, you're not gonna, you're gonna still have all of your memories and all of this stuff. You're gonna show up, you're gonna-- - I want to maintain my superiority complex. (laughing) - Is that what it is? - You're gonna be superior, superior, like spiritually, emotionally, aesthetically. - I'm not saying on you reads any of that. - Dude, so why would you just automatically assume you're better than these people? - Than a guy with a top hat on? Yeah, I'm better. - You think you're better than Lincoln? - Uh, no, but that was-- - Yeah. - But that was era appropriate and-- - Lincoln was actually really in the steampunk. - Well, I guess I stand, I like my, you know what, I like how I look better than how Lincoln looked. - Oh, okay, all right, you like your style, Bear. - Huh? - And just my face. (laughing) - He was notorious for being a very ugly man. - He was not-- - Period, any either couldn't or decided not to have a mustache with his beard, which I find. That's a wild choice. - That's a wild move. - That's a wild move. - Right, yeah, he didn't. - Yeah, either shave it or, if you can't grow a mustache, dude, what are you doing, man? Get rid of all of it. - Probably tickled his nose. - No clean. - As someone who's had a beard. - Tickles your nose. - That sounded very sexual, but, okay. All right, so, I do love the idea of-- - Waste coats. - I'm gonna say the magic part of Harry Potter, which I'm, you guys know, literally drinking from a Harry Potter glass. I'm a big fan of that, so I love the coexisting worlds of that, I think that's really fun. These other ones don't really have that, so that's something to be, to be said. So for instance, you-- - Am I a wizard? - Yeah, that's right. - You assimilate immediately, but you're aware of the, you know, the muggle world, where you know. You're like, you don't do stand-up anymore, but you do magic stand-up, maybe. - Oh my gosh. - Oh. (laughing) - You know when you have a Phoenix feather in your wand? - Yeah. (laughing) - Yes. - I mean, flu powder, am I right? - Phoenix weather ones do ones like this. People would-- - You're just gonna be booked at Pigeon Forge for like the rest of your life. - Do you mean Owl Forge? - Owl Forge, ah, dude. - I'm crushing. - This is my favorite thing that Jonathan's ever done. - I believe that could be true. I don't doubt your sustainment in that statement. Okay, so I'm leaning towards magic too, 'cause everything else just sounds lame as fuck. - I love the idea of like steampunk being sort of west and like, you know, I do like westerns. I like the idea that everyone's got a gun and like there's people who are good at it, not good at it. - Jason loves everyone having a gun going on record. (laughing) - Jason, this teacher should be armed. (laughing) - And pilots. - So does Voldemort exist? - I would say it's not literally the Harry Potter world. - Yeah, so this-- - But there are bad wizards. - It's something, it's Narnia, or is that fit? - What are you saying? - Is Narnia, what would Narnia be? - That's more fantasy. That's more fantasy. Lord of the Rings would be more medieval, yes. But I will say, but I'll subscribe to that. The medieval is magic and dragons and shit like that exist. - So at least, okay, so in the punks scenario, the both of the punks, those are not magic worlds. Those are like crazy science shit. - I will say this, cyberpunk, have you guys seen, what's it called? Oh, god damn it, it's a show on, I think it's on Netflix right now. Shit, it's such a great show. I don't usually like anime, but it's not anime, but it's very anime-like. - Is it animated? - Yes, animated, yes, and it's very cyberpunk. It's exactly cyberpunk. It's fantastic, man, and I'm gonna look it up a second. - Put it in the show notes. - Yeah, I'm gonna do that. - I feel like you just be too much LED lights. (laughing) - There is a certain, like, there is a certain, just like, it's both, it just feels kind of lame. - Arcane is the name of the show. - Even though, even though I would get destroyed and people would kill me real fast, 'cause I'm like, not a fight guy. But like, or I guess in this scenario, I am. I do have- - Well, that's the thing, are they necessarily fighters in cyberpunk or is it just more of the aesthetic? - Is it just more of vibe? - Yeah, exactly, it seems like the only one where you've got like some actual power is the magic. Unless I'm- - Well, fantasy is the medieval- - Oh, you're like, "Pile fantasy one sure." - Oh, and final, okay, what, all right, why should, what's up with Final Fantasy? Why should I like- - That's also very, like, adventure-y. Look at Arcane. I got some photos for you guys, look at them. So, yeah, I think all of them have some degree- - Can I have any of them? - Adventure, sort of- - Final Fantasy, I think some might be far. That was, I had that idea. I had- - They have like those sailing show. Final Fantasy is very similar to Arcane and what it is. - Well, like, did people stand on clouds? Am I making that up? Is that a thing? - That's more of a dragon ball. - Okay, yank. Might have happened in Final Fantasy. - I'm kind of with you guys a little bit on some of this stuff, like, I don't know, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, that is really fun to me. - It's like- - The medieval, like, Game of Thrones is fun. Lord of rings is cool. - Both of the punk things, to me, are- - Mike in Trouble for a second. - Final. - But with people who I don't mind getting in trouble with at all, they both seem, like, dorky in a not fun way. Just like, just sort of like, dooey-bee a little bit. - Okay. - Like, I- - Do you see what I- - I kinda think they're great. - But I do, I have to disagree, like, yeah, yeah. - It's like a fashion show as opposed to what's the personality of these people in these things. - Yeah, kind of. - It's a little bit of that time. - Kind of maybe. - But I wish I knew Final Fantasy stuff more, 'cause I like the idea of it. - Yeah, it's so much fun. - Magic, I think, I mean, magic is, I'm trying to find something that will make me consider something other than magic, to make this more fun. - I've played a couple of the Final Fantasies, and it's great. And again, it does feel more kind of cyberpunkish, if I'm honest. It's like the ones that got big, huge swords that are, like, unnaturally large for the body of the person that it's on, and they're like, and there's all these, you know, it's usually some oppressive being, or whatever, who has got a whole army of people, and you've got to sneak around, you're usually a rebel group fighting against a greater thing, and there's usually magic, and there's like a, you know, it's all the things. - Is there more, here's, okay. Here's a better, better, more than saying, like, Dorky and Dweeby, although I stand by those. - Also, Harry Potter, the new ones that the new movies, they made, really are skirting the steampunk. - Are they? - Yeah, they haven't seen them. - They're pretty close to that. They're not great. - What I'm, like, missing in all of the, what I feel like is missing in, again, especially the cyber and steampunk ones, but, you know, could be wrong. (laughing) I don't wanna live in, this is gonna sound, whatever. I'm just gonna say it. I don't wanna live in a world without elegance. Does that make sense? - Define elegance, what do you mean? - You sound dorkier than fucking steampunk people. - Fair enough, but like, no, but like, and it is a slippery term. There's not really a clear meat. Like, to me, it's just like, there's a lot of goggles. (laughing) - Yeah, I want you to have goggles. - You know what I'm saying. - I don't want goggles on each other. - And I don't just mean specifically goggles, but I mean, goggles and goggle energy. - Yeah, yes. - You know what I'm saying? - Yes, goggle energy is very, yeah, I want you. I want that. - And so, take me out of the punk ones. - Okay. - All right, so I'm gonna add another element to this, which is a second. - Okay. - Would you rather, okay. - Is it good? - Well, are we just like inception for the would you rather? - This is always, uh-huh. - Are we like inception for the would you rather? - Is the would you rather? - Is the would you rather? - A little bit, yes. You can apply to collidering this? - Yes, you can apply what I'm about to ask you into the first thing. - Oh, shit, okay, okay. - It's about to get weird. - This is you being put into the, whatever world you end up choosing. If you were completely average and everything, except for one trait, what would you rather have that trait be between these four things? Intelligence, charisma, work ethic, ambition. It's almost like you're, if you're playing a video game, your account of like, which percentage would you push higher than the other? - What's interesting about those is all of those could be parlayed into the same, you know, the same thing. - It's not like strength, it's not like speed. - Yeah, like you could use charisma or intelligence or work ethic or ambition all to get to the same goal, which is interesting to me. - A little bit. - Which I like, I like the, but it's different routes and it's different. - Yeah. - Oh man, I think. - Like work ethic and ambition, I can appreciate that there is a difference between those things. - Yeah, I think it is not. - So this kind of makes me think of, for the magic world, for example, like if we were to go that route, will we be defined to houses? 'Cause those houses have different traits, right? Like I forget exactly what they were, but I think like Gryffindor was supposed to be brave and like somebody's smart. - And yeah. - Hufflepuffs are. - So for instance, intelligence would be Ravenclaw. Charisma would definitely be Gryffindor. Ambitions probably, ambition's probably Slytherin. - You could argue charisma would be Slytherin. - A little bit. - And do they go to love? - Work ethic totally would be Hufflepuff. Wait, what? - Do they go love? - Yeah, loves is the most elegant. (laughing) - So there's something to that. - I'm leaning towards charisma. - Oh man, I think I'll, and although being average intelligent is a bummer. - I'll go work at it. - I'm gonna say, which of these do you guys, sitting here right now, - I think we already have. - Respond, yeah, what do you respond to? What is your highest percentage of your personality in your life? - Oh, I don't want to sound like no matter how I answer this. - It's like a piece of shit. - No, I don't think so. I mean, unless you say one of them. (laughing) - I would say get a talented charisma. - Intelligence, charisma, work ethic, ambition. - Mm. - I think of those in real, are you asking which of us we think we are? - Yeah, right now. What do you think you are? - Of those, I'd say charisma, probably. - Really? - Yeah, I think so. Depending on how you define charisma, I guess. - Are you charismatic as a person? Does that overshadow your intelligence, your ambition, or your work ethic? - Definitely my work ethic. (laughing) - Agreed. - Agreed. - Agreed. - Did I answer too quickly? - Agreed. - All of it. All of it overshadows my work ethic. - I think there's one that's clear for you, and it's not charisma. I'm really surprised when you say charisma, actually. - Well, I don't want to say the one that I think it actually is. - I'll say, I will put the intelligence for you. - Yeah, it is intelligence, definitely. It's definitely not charisma, I want to be. (laughing) - People like being around me, kind of. (laughing) - You want to be around them. - What is yours? - I'm going ambition. - Okay. - Yeah, I think I'm moving on ambition. - Yours was a little harder, I think. Yours, no, this isn't a bad thing, Jonathan, but I think yours was a little more. - Yeah, Jordan, yours was a little tougher to zero in on. You say ambition? - I think I want ambition. - Yeah. Something about ambition and work ethic are similar, but ambition seems like a higher argument. - Ambition sounds less valuable. - I would say so too, honestly. Ambition is more of like the dreamer. It's like you have like a lot of these things you want to come with. - What's that cliche? - That's how you're doing it. - That cliche, it's not what I was thinking, okay. Dream without a plan is just a wish. - Something like that, yeah. - That kind of thing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I guess if you have enough ambition that can, like you're so ambitious that it ups your shitty work ethic. - I think it almost, I think it almost ups all of those things. - Yeah, maybe. - With the right degree of ambition, you then will study about your thing and you become more intelligent about it. You develop a work ethic because ambition has driven you to that. You know what I mean? Like that's sort of my take on my patience. - Do you think super villains mostly ambition? - I think super villains are highly ambitious, yes. - Yeah. - Yeah, so it can go, yeah. - Which I wouldn't mind. - Work ethic is about the only thing that's not, that's not inherently-- - It's the least sexy of them for sure. Like on paper-- - It would be hard to say it's a plus or a minus in terms of good versus evil. Like, that's kind of-- - Right, right, right, right, right, right. Charisma can I think can absolutely go either way. - Charisma, you know, charisma in terms of villains or heroes, same with intelligence. - I think, honestly, of those, I still, maybe I was just projecting onto what I want to be. I think charisma might be the most valuable in a way. If you are charismatic enough-- - Definitely. - You can get so far, man. - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm trying to think of the, it certainly is the most probably elusive for the average person. - Well, and think about its value in comedy for one thing. - Yeah, totally agree. - Huge. - Yeah, absolutely. - I'd say probably a lot of the biggest comics are probably more charismatic than they are smart. A lot of, I'm not saying all, I'm saying a lot of-- - I've said this before, I compare Nate Bergazzi and I'll always forget his name. What's the mom podcast that the married couple? Christina Pea and-- - Oh, uh-- - Sigura, Tom Sigura. - To me, Tom Sigura and neighbor got to say a very similar comics in this because they're charismatic. They're jokes. - Yes. - Are not necessarily jokes. - Jokes, it's a lot of how they respond and how they look and sound and deliver. So I think they're charismatic people. - Got it. - Yeah. - I would have never thought of charisma to apply. See, I see what you're saying and I don't disagree with like what you're saying. I think we might slightly define charisma sort of differently maybe. - You know the young kids call it Riz now. - Yeah Riz, yeah. - But that's a little bit more game, isn't it? - No, I think it's part of charisma. - Yeah. - Well, I mean, I know that's where the word Riz-- - Well, no, it's typical used for that. You're right, but still that's-- - But it's generally used for like, which obviously involves charisma, obviously. - Like getting a lot, lizards. - We're not saying any more-- - Oh, wait, we're not. - I thought we agreed-- - I thought we were gonna name it-- - I thought we were gonna name it-- - Did you hear-- - Did you hear the paragraph? - No, I was like, I'll go through like, bleep this on the YouTube. (laughing) - I didn't know that would actually be amazing. - I think we can check off the intelligence cycle. These four for me. - For sure. - You bastards all of them. - All right. - All right, so which one? Okay, but-- - Well, we're old and how much-- - Now the question becomes which one do we choose though? - Right, right. So to me then, it suggests to some degree what are you deficient at and therefore wanna be like great at? - Oh, so do we get to stay how good we are? You know what I'm saying? - Yeah. - Is it just instead of an average, it's like you enter with what you have. - You enter what you have, you get to-- - Oh, I like this. - You get to bump up. - You get to bump one up. - Yeah. - It's either work ethic or charisma for me 'cause I have ambition for sure. - That's fair, actually. I think that's probably accurate. - Yeah, I know myself fairly well. - Yeah, well, you said charisma first though. - That's a good point. Well, it's a good point unless I have-- - I'm actually getting about the correct-- - I got a little riz. I got a little bit. - Yeah, you do fine. - Oh yeah, we're defining it with game. - Yeah, I do fine. - I'm a good B plus, I'd say. - Correct. - Well, like I said, I know myself, B plus, that's where I'm at. - Yeah, so do you guys have a thought of the world? - I guess-- - What world? - Okay, so-- - I'm still on magic. - Okay, so I'm trying to think where I would care about accomplishing things. 'Cause again, I'm thinking of the steam punk and all that. I'm like, I don't care about being big in that world. I just feel like I would rather fly under the radar in those places. Final Fantasy, I don't know enough. I feel like if I might hunch, is that if I did know this Final Fantasy-type world more, that might be my choice. But I just don't know it enough to choose it, I don't think. - I mean, there was like-- - 'Cause that's fair. - There was a fifth one that's just something we didn't understand, like-- - A Final Fantasy? - No, no, no, there's a fifth one that was just like, a game, or like, remember of the choices? - Oh yeah, game-like, which I don't have a great description for, so I don't know what to tell. - It's like maybe like a different-- - Yeah, so I think, all right, I think I like changing my mind, I wish I could change my mind, but I think in this case, if I'm honest, I think we're going with magic. We're going with asterisk, Final Fantasy maybe, but I don't know enough. So magic? - Yeah, I'll give you that, 'cause I'm a little bit with you. I like the idea of being in a different place world or whatever, that I don't really know that well, as opposed to magic seems a little more straightforward. It's like, I already kind of get it. We still live in-- - I think we're actually saying different-- - I think we're actually saying different things, but what you just said actually interests me. I was saying I don't know Final Fantasy World enough to choose it. You're almost saying the opposite. - A little bit, yeah, I'm saying like, I kind of know, he like, to me, Harry Potter is like living in an old English town where everything's pretty everywhere. - We all agree fuck medieval, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - They look so uncomfortable, it just comes down to that. - Even the like kings and stuff, they're just like eating a lot of food. - Yes. - That's like all that, we do that. We are living like-- - Again. - Like, we have-- - Yep, look out. - I've been listening to medieval madness. I've been listening to medieval madness. I'm not going, I'm not thinking that. - Yeah, I don't think anyone's-- - Even the best situation is shitty then. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, you know what, what you just said actually, I think it did flip me, 'cause I was thinking magic 'cause I was like, I have more of a concept of that. I think a Final Fantasy thing sounds just weird enough, but just elegant enough. It seems like it has such a certain-- - And just final-- - Arnold, you do it? - Yeah, okay, all right. - Not that the others don't, you know what I'm saying, they don't know way that matters. - And what's your trait? - And my trait that I'm upping, it's a close call between charisma and work ethic. I'm gonna need to think a little bit more. - All right, continue. - Jordan, you got a world? - Yeah, I'm still going magic. You know what, I think this goes back to one of our earlier conversations of like, you would pick LA and I would pick New York. Like you keep going for the pretty option. - Did I say I would pick LA? But that's not why though. I like the aesthetic-- - I'd pick LA. - So New York better. I think New York, I like it. - All right, why, okay, I don't wanna rehash it. - New York's a little more romantic. - Yeah, I think New York and I like the style of, I like the style of New York. Like the people, like the high fashion, that's all absurd. And it's fun to look at, but no one actually wear those clothes. But like the sort of like street style or whatever. - I literally have-- - Of New York, pictures of New York all over my house. - I think New York, elegant. Let's go back to that word, New York is more elegant. - Why'd you pick LA? - Because LA, I felt like I'd have more of a shot. And like it may-- - Okay. - Or I can't, I'd actually have to remember what the conversation was more specifically. But if it's like-- - Just what would you pick? Where would you succeed? What would you pick to-- - Well, if I could just for sure succeed in either of-- - No, you gotta-- - No, it's-- - Well, I know, I know. That's what I'm saying-- - The challenges of-- - That's what I'm saying. I think that's why I chose LA. 'Cause I felt like it wouldn't be probably more likely for me to do well there than to do well in New York. But I also could be totally wrong. But if we're like guaranteeing success, I would choose New York. I would rather live in New York, it seems-- - That's crazy. - I do think that there are advantages to living in LA, 'cause there's more space than everything like that. But living successfully in New York would be amazing. - No, I think you're still in New York. I actually really like New York, but I'm sorry. I don't think it comes lifestyle in LA versus New York. I don't even think it's even low school. - With no money, money's no object. - Either way. - Yeah. - Either way. I'm a, I make a million dollars a year. I'm still living in LA. - Yeah, why? - I'm gonna visit New York a lot. - Yeah. - 'Cause it's cool and romantic. - I mean, why is there still better? - LA, literally the climate is better. The ease of getting around the people, I think the people, I think the people, I live in the north half of my life. - Yeah. - I'll take a fake LA person over of some asshole, you know. - I'll say I stick it in a subway. - But it's like, it's in a margin of error, right? Like I could be pulled in either direction based on the argument. - Sure, that's fair. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm not like, obviously New York, or obviously LA. I think taking into account-- - I've been in New York more. I've, I've, it's great. - What are you saying? - Yeah, it's great. This isn't a shit on New York. - Yeah, yeah, totally. - If I had money or not money, LA just is so much of a nicer, all thing. - It is, it is easier to, you know what I mean? - It does feel easier to just kind of like, just kind of like breathe a little bit. - Yeah, but that's my point. Like if we are, if you were changing it to guaranteed success, then yeah, I would pick LA. My thing is if success wasn't guaranteed, I feel like New York would be the better option because it's going to force you to hustle more to make it. Like LA is like, oh, I'd rather just go hang out at the beach. - Yeah, I mean, we have that. New York is not that pretty. - I just think New York is like, so I think that-- - We all have this choice literally right now. This is my favorite part about it's coverage. - And I, and I could, yeah, sure. - And I could, you're right, we could. But like, I feel like, and this could be a thing that would get old and I wouldn't, and I would later be like, oh, I changed my mind. But the inner, there's just like a pulse to New York that I think is so amazing. - I would agree with that. - Just the inner, the raw, just like energy of it, which I'm sure can get exhausting. But anyway, so what are we doing? Okay, so I'm going Final Fantasy. Oh yeah, I'm still more magic. - Yeah, he's epic. - I'm a, oh man, see? I feel like mine should be more focused, but I guess I'll go with work ethic. - That's so what, you already have work ethic. - Yeah, dude, no, but here's the thing. I feel like-- - Hit the thing you're deficient in, I would think, right? - Like that to me seems more, I'm not trying to talk into it, but-- - No, no, I am, don't choose work ethic. You have so much, dude. - No, if you, anyone, like people listening, this dude is just on it. - All right, I'll, yes, chain, I'm telling you to do. - No, I'll go charisma, I'll go charisma. - Okay. - Yeah, I'll go charisma. - Yeah, this was a hard, I think for you, just in general. I'll give you charisma, but I think you're short on charisma. I'm not, you know, I got rid of some. (laughing) - No, I think, yeah, that makes sense for you. 'Cause I think you got ambition and work ethic, you're a smartest guy, I don't know, you two are kind of interesting sort of between you guys who's more intelligent in what way-- - Oh no, it's absolutely Jonathan. No, there's no way of-- - You think? - Yeah, absolutely. - Okay, all right. - Yeah. - Oh, or I'm not gonna fucking fight that. - At the very least, I would say you are more well-read. Like, there's a lot of like-- - It's a different-- - World topics that I honestly just don't care to know about. - Yeah, that's fine. - I'll admit that. - Maybe I'm very curious about like just everything. - Yeah, that's very-- - Yeah, that's true. - In a way that's scattershot and not necessarily productive, but yeah, I think the responsible choice for me would be work ethic, because I think I have enough charisma to get by-- - Yeah, you need to work ethic. (laughing) - I'm sorry, that's-- - That was too real. - That's it. - It's timeliness and options. - Yeah, can we right go? - Can we right, yeah, yeah. - Timing, hang on, let me add this in here. (laughing) - Gossup. (laughing) - Nah, man, that's funny though. But I said the responsible choice of be work ethic, so I chose it. - That's fair. - Goddamn it. - That's fair. I think I'm gonna go with, this is fun, 'cause I'm with you actually, the final fantasy or the magic. Man, I really like Harry Potter. - You don't work ethic in Final Fantasy, it's pretty funny. (laughing) - Did I just say that? - No, no, I just-- - Oh, that's what I chose. I chose Final Fantasy and work ethic. - Work ethic. (laughing) This is so dumb. - It's so dumb. Yeah, I mean, everything in me says it should be Harry Potter, the magic world, but I'm kind of a little bit in the, the final fantasy of it. Like the, a little bit unknown, like what could it be? There is magic in that as well. - Right. - Yeah. - Conjurings and things like, so that's a big thing in Final Fantasy is conjuring. You're conjuring sort of God-like powers and that you can learn, right? You earn enough, you learn it, and then you can do that. Like that kind of shit's kind of interesting and cool to me. So I think I'm with that. I think for me, I'm going to intelligence. I don't think I'm a dummy. - I love that choice for you. But I anticipated that reaction. - I said it so good, though. - I think, yeah, I've got, 'cause I think charisma is, I probably am a little bit, I think that's a strength, I would say, not like crazy above everything else. Work ethic and ambition, I think I'm pretty good. I think intelligence about specific things is probably, I think I'm curious, I always have like, my dad's an engineer, I'm like, oh, that's amazing. I think I have the curiosity of an engineer, but I don't have the intelligence to follow through. - So that's where I actually am tremendously deficient in intelligence when it comes to things that are anything other than artistic or life. - Well, that's why you too, your intelligence is a very interesting two sides of a coin. - Or like, I'm a humanities guy. - Yeah, and you seem like-- - I love science. - You have more of a numbers, kind of a knowledge. - I love, like, math and science, like-- - Right, brain, left, right. You guys are right, brain, left, brain people. - I love math and science, I love learning about them. - Can I also, I know you're talking about, but you're also very creative, I don't mean to suggest you're not, I just think you're intelligent, yeah, yeah. - I just, math and science are fascinating to me, conceptually, learning about them, pop, pop science, pop math is really not a term that people throw around, but I love that, but actually, truly understanding it, fuck, no dude, algebra one, I tapped out after that. - Sure. (laughs) - And not for lack of trying, algebra two honors, I was done, I was like, I don't understand this at all. - I had a conversation with teachers, I was like, the idea of taking physics in high school, I was like, I would love that. They were all like, you can't do this. Like, they were nice, obviously, but that was, the subjects was, you're not gonna be able to do it. - Dude, it's, yeah, that shit is beyond me. So like, I-- - Really interesting, yeah. - Yeah. Okay, we nailed it. - Okay, fancy and great. - We'll be writing the movie here real soon. All right, guys, I think that's it, I think that's what we're gonna do. - That's it, no more would you rather? - You guys want another one? - I got one. - You got one? - I got one. - I'm in. - Okay. - What's about? - Would you rather? - Driver truck. (laughing) - Would you rather spend 24 hours at a love's-- - Motherfucker. - A Walmart, or a Waffle House? - 24 hours. - 24 hours. - It's not Walmart. - Okay. - We're ruling that out. - Okay. - Real fast. - Hang on, wait, what-- - I'm gonna say, I'm actually going Walmart, but fine. - Walmart, and I go to Walmart, but it bums me out more than any other place. It just, something about the way it's lit and-- - 'Cause it doesn't look like Target? What do you mean? - Yeah, I kinda. (laughing) I mean, a little bit, but in the clothing section just makes me so sad, everything in the clothing. - Why? - When we're on the clothing section. - Yeah, you mean. - 'Cause they're terrible. (laughing) - I don't think that's like a fucked up thing to say. (laughing) - It's a little bad, I guess. - Is it? - No, it's not, like, who cares? Like, I'm not saying-- - Drop the, that's some people all can only afford that. - Yeah. - You know. There are other options than Walmart. There are other equally cheap options than Walmart that are better. - Okay, there's actually like a Walmart Birkin bag that's trending right now. - It's not for real. - It's not actually a Birkin bag, but yeah. - Well, okay, maybe I'm just wrong. Or maybe there's just, there's probably just exceptions. - Okay. - But I know that when I go and I see their graphic tees that say like something about like-- - That's your issue with it, their graphic tees? - Well, it's, I'm giving you an example. I will say a lot of them aren't good. A lot of them aren't. They got one big small tea that looked good. - I don't actually have a big issue with Walmart's clothes. For what they are, it's like, it's fine. - It's not that much worse than Target. And I wear Target. - I disagree, man. I disagree. I think Target has really good design. And their quality isn't always super ultra good, but the design, from a design and fit perspective, which is what I value more honestly than like, than actual like quality of the materials, which I do value, but, but fit and design. Target's pretty good. - Definitely not charisma, dude. (laughing) - Like Chris. - You don't give a fuck or so, forever. - Okay, fine. So you're not doing Walmart, what are you doing? - Wait, what is that, Walmart? - Waffle house. - I think Waffle house. - I think you're gonna see some shit at a Waffle house. - I know which one I'm picking. - In 24 hours. - Yeah, 24 hours. - It's such a, I mean, in a way it would suck that it's a small space, but, but that also means you're gonna see everything that happens. - Okay, Waffle, yeah. - Yeah, we're going to Waffle House. - 'Cause I happen, I happen. I mean, just based on the conversation we've had on this podcast, I'm picking loves. - Hey, there we go. - Loves is a close up. - Potential, it's just potential. - But you think there aren't some other derogatory term at Waffle House? - You got one, you got one for Waffle House. - No, yeah, I'll be trying to think of one. Waffle women comes to mind. - No, no, they can be dudes, don't make, don't just make them women. - Well, alliteration. - Jonathan. - So I'm going to-- - Mr. Williams comedy. (laughing) - I hate this podcast. - I'm actually going with Walmart. - Yeah? - And the reason I'm going with Walmart is because you could sleep there. I've actually seen videos of people that like-- - That's your kind of snuck in quote unquote overnight. They've built like a palette behind like the stack of paper towels. And that's what it's like. - You're such a dork, man. Like you're, the whole point of spending 24 hours is to be awake and watch the shit go down for 24 hours. But like if you get sleepy, you have the option. If you get sleepy, I love-- - You think you-- - You have to knock on a truck. - You think people will sleep for several hours in a Waffle House? Like where are you sleeping in a booth? - Okay, all right. - You think people will pass out and no one gives a shit? - I guess that does. - Yeah, I guess that happens. - Sure, okay. - And that's a chair. - Yeah. - All right. - I think we've really boiled this episode down to the important stuff. First episode of 2025, we got great things that are gonna happen on this podcast. - Oh, me or six hours long. (laughs) - It's almost. But yeah, for anyone who's still listening, we got great things coming in at the Zoning Out podcast presented by the Comedy Zone. - That's right. - We always want people to go to the Comedy Zone, especially here in Charlotte, CLTcomityZone.com.
