00:00:46.660 --> 00:00:47.300

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:48.500
Living the dream.
00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:49.140
Excellent.
00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:58.740
Unfortunately, still unemployed, but doing well and catching up on all kinds of little side tasks that I usually wouldn't have time for.
00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:06.020
So, you know, my Funko pops have been dusted, and I had time to set up lots of Christmas lights today.
00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:08.819
You know, all these things that you usually kind of hunt.
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:11.539
So nice, nice things to get to.
00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:12.420
How about yourself?
00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:14.180
You keep yourself busy at least, right?
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:15.379
And uh exactly.
00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:16.500
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:24.020
Um is always happy to leave me some to-do lists, you know, keeping me keeping the honeydo list.
00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:25.539
Yes, that's it.
00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:26.579
Nice, nice.
00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:27.460
Uh what time?
00:01:27.539 --> 00:01:29.780
I mean, you know, you put your Christmas lights on now, right?
00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:30.579
They're not on.
00:01:30.819 --> 00:01:35.460
Oh, yeah, yeah, they're on, and my Christmas tree is up, and my like 5,000 ornaments are up.
00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:36.980
November 1st, I put it on.
00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:40.659
Bro, wow, because the in there's a lot of people that actually get really upset, right?
00:01:40.820 --> 00:01:43.140
Like, oh, you can't do it until after November 11th.
00:01:43.379 --> 00:01:47.219
Yeah, well, there's like a 10% of the reason why I do it is to piss those people off.
00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:50.420
It's part of it's part of the fun.
00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:51.219
I love it.
00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:51.939
I love it.
00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:57.780
And and you know, we have the same strict rule that like literally with the day after Christmas, everything's gone.
00:01:58.100 --> 00:01:58.739
Wow.
00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:00.980
So you're like my buddy, actually.
00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:07.700
My buddy is like, you know, day after it's all gone, yet his girlfriend says, No, no, it's gotta stay until like after the new year.
00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:08.579
No, no, no.
00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:10.740
New year has got to be clear slate.
00:02:12.579 --> 00:02:13.060
Start off.
00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:17.300
You know, the older you get, like routine, it becomes like important, you know.
00:02:17.540 --> 00:02:21.060
There's no rhyme or reasons behind it, but uh that's true, that's true.
00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:23.300
Hey man, it's your own comfort level.

--> 00:02:25.060
Yeah, comfort level.
00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:27.139
I'll die on that hill, you know.
00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:29.939
How was your week?
00:02:30.100 --> 00:02:30.659
Yeah, you know what?
00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:32.420
It was actually pretty you know, pretty good.
00:02:32.579 --> 00:02:35.620
My son Caden turned 32 yesterday.
00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:45.139
Uh yes, I know 32 is absolutely crazy that I have a 32-year-old when I'm only 41, but you know, I wish.
00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:47.060
Let me do the math there.
00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:49.060
One second, chat GBT.
00:02:49.540 --> 00:02:49.860
Yeah.
00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:52.100
Yeah, I don't math good, obviously.
00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:57.860
We went to we went to this place on Somerset Street called uh Cozy, Beryllium place.
00:02:58.100 --> 00:03:04.579
So it it came down to like it wasn't like an existential crisis, but it was more like, do we you know cater inside the house?
00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:10.259
And you know, Mel always does like her love language is like creating her own food and you know, feeding people and stuff.
00:03:10.339 --> 00:03:17.699
But I'm like, it's always such a hassle, there's always a mess, there's always you know I said, Fuck it, let's spend the money and let's go out.
00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:22.100
So yeah, sometimes it's nice, but it's it's always nice to go out, yeah, for sure.
00:03:22.339 --> 00:03:26.740
So Caden and his girlfriend Meg, they're you know, they love food experiences.
00:03:26.980 --> 00:03:33.379
So Mel found this place on Somerset specifically because Meg is gluten sensitive.
00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:39.060
Yeah, so they serve deep fried chicken gluten-free style.
00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:43.060
Bro, I have never had deep fried chicken like this in my life.
00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:50.100
Okay, so the place is like a Japanese, Korean, South Indian kind of fusion place.
00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:52.420
Okay, it's a really intimate small place.
00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:56.339
I think there's like five tables and a couple of like chairs at a at a bar.
00:03:56.660 --> 00:03:56.899
Okay.
00:03:57.540 --> 00:04:00.660
And we did this, what's called the the house experience.
00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:06.420
So for 55 bucks each, we got a palate cleanser, which was homemade bone broth.
00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:09.699
Dude, I could have drank that as a soup the entire time.
00:04:09.860 --> 00:04:10.740
I would have been happy.
00:04:10.899 --> 00:04:12.339
It was absolutely amazing.
00:04:12.579 --> 00:04:17.860
Uh so these are a lot of the you know, the fragrant spices and stuff that you would find in those regions.
00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:29.620
Then they brought out a two buckets, and each bucket was a full chicken that was deep fried into these non-gluten-free breading, and it was oh my god, dude.
00:04:29.699 --> 00:04:30.579
It was so good.
00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:33.139
Uh came with some home sauces that you can put around it.
00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:36.899
There you go, man.
00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:37.540
Perfect.
00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:47.699
Then and it came with like some sides and stuff, like what is it, Korean cucumbers and a soy, you know, sweet sauce, and yeah, it's really cool stuff.
00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:54.580
And then then it came another palette cleanser, and then we had another serving of chicken, but this time they have two house sauces.
00:04:54.980 --> 00:05:00.819
Uh, one was spicy, uh the other one was like brown sugar, sort of cumin and paprika.
00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:05.220
And I'm telling you, dude, it the experience was absolutely bonkers.
00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:06.580
I really enjoyed it.
00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:12.020
I am a cheap bastard, so spending 55 bucks to eat, dude, I better be worth it.
00:05:12.340 --> 00:05:14.180
I was full, like I mean full.
00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:15.140
We actually left.
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:18.660
I think there was like four pieces of chicken left that Cain got to take home.
00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:20.660
So I I highly recommend it.
00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:22.819
It's a lot of fun, it's a nice little experience.
00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:27.620
It's a local restaurant owned by you know, uh locals, and uh yeah.
00:05:27.780 --> 00:05:39.780
So I I love the stories where you find something like niche like that, and it's you know, just the fact that you said that there's five tables, you know, kind of I like that a lot, you know, it's not like a burn and churn like place.
00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:41.780
Exactly what it is, yeah.
00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:43.300
Yeah, I was quite surprised.
00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:56.340
Like I thought, I don't know, for some reason I was like, oh, well, there must be more tables in the bag, but obviously it's the kitchen, so it's legitimately what you walk into, and it's these older houses that have been converted into these restaurants and these little businesses, right?
00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:04.100
So it is like I said, it is a it is a nice, very unique and uh cozy little place.
00:06:04.340 --> 00:06:09.300
And the food is, I mean, that was just the$55 experience, it was just one thing on the menu.
00:06:09.460 --> 00:06:10.580
They have all these other things.
00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:25.460
As we were leaving, I heard her talking to someone other one of the uh tables, and she's some she said something about like the I don't know, the crazy house French fries or something, and then she mentioned you know, they have their own chicken put on top with some gravy, and I was like, Oh my god, I gotta come back.
00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:27.939
So yeah, so all right.
00:06:28.020 --> 00:06:29.860
Well, hey, you got me sold.
00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:32.819
Yeah, um I I love that.
00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:45.860
Um you know, and it doesn't sound like insane, like the the the places that like sell you like the gold flakes on the steak, you know, while uh pinching salt off their forearm onto your food.
00:06:45.939 -->
00:06:48.660
Like, you know, at least this sounds like a normal human being experience.
00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:59.060
And yeah, it was not pretentious at all, which is obviously right on my alley, you know, because I'm not you know, I'm not the type of person that loves to to get you know dressed up in like a suit and tie and stuff.
00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:03.460
So that's not the environment, that's not the the the I guess the etiquette sort of thing, the atmosphere.
00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:08.580
I mean you and I you and I will get along then because I don't like fancied up either.
00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:09.460
No, absolutely.
00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:10.980
I mean, there are times and places for it.
00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:17.460
Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna show up to a wedding wearing track pants and a wife beater, otherwise, actually, would I?
00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:19.860
But whatever.
00:07:20.020 --> 00:07:24.980
But no, no, I I'm not I'm not really big on going to like these fancy, fancy restaurants.
00:07:25.220 --> 00:07:30.420
One, I like I said, I you know, for the most of my life, my working life, I wore a monkey suit, right?
00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:31.460
Like a suit and tie.
00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:33.540
I don't want to do it to go out and have fun.
00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:40.340
And two, usually those places are like, yeah, those places are like, you know, here's$110 for a steak.
00:07:40.660 --> 00:07:41.620
Come on, man.
00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:42.420
You know what I mean?
00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:46.500
So, yeah, there are times and places, but like I said, it was a great experience.
00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:47.780
Highly recommend it.
00:07:48.020 --> 00:07:50.340
Yeah, and that's just this end of the city, man.
00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:51.620
There's so many out there, dude.
00:07:51.780 --> 00:07:53.220
So what's his name again?
00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:55.540
Sorry, it's cozy cage, right?
00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:56.819
Cozy Z eye.
00:07:56.900 --> 00:07:58.660
Yeah, please sponsor us.
00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:01.060
We like chicken.
00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:02.580
Thank you.
00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:08.500
Yeah, so if your mom's celiac, dude, this this place is bankrupt, man.
00:08:08.580 --> 00:08:09.699
Yeah, yeah, right on.
00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:10.819
You got it, you got it.
00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:21.780
So now that you got me thinking about food, one thing that that crossed my mind this week as a topic, a conversation that I feel warrants too dead, no plans, you know.
00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:29.300
Two cents, two cents, exactly, are is you know, the world's most ridiculous competitions.
00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:44.580
And hearing you talk about food, what stands out like right off the bat for me is the Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest, which you know, you see those people lined up and they are I'm sorry to say, but fucking gross.
00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:55.220
Yeah, because the way they eat, it just I can't even like just watching
them eat is is turns my stomach, but they end up like being able to eat like 70 of them.
00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:55.939
Yeah, what is it?
00:08:56.179 --> 00:08:59.939
Some of them get wheeled out of there while vomiting themselves to death, you know?
00:09:00.340 --> 00:09:01.699
It's like a car accident, right?
00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:02.500
You can't look away.
00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:04.019
You know it's gory, you know it's gross.
00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:06.579
You're like, oh, I watched every second of the content.
00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:10.099
Don't get me wrong, these people will get their advertising dollars.
00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:10.659
Oh, yeah.
00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:13.459
Oh, just saying, like, what the fuck?
00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:14.179
Yeah, what is it?
00:09:14.339 --> 00:09:17.779
Joey Chestnut or something is this guy's name that he wins it every friggin' year.
00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:20.019
And is there a guy that wins it every year?
00:09:20.179 --> 00:09:21.299
Yeah, I think that's who it is.
00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:26.019
Like, this guy is like the I don't know, uh Umpteeth time, he's actually won this competition.
00:09:26.099 --> 00:09:33.219
And and what's what's nuts about this is that most of the like it's a competitive eating thing, it doesn't stop with hot dogs.
00:09:33.699 --> 00:09:35.459
Oh, well, no, no, you're right.
00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:43.860
Like, oh, overall, you're talking about there's different competitions of eating, like, yeah, and that that is also gross.
00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:56.019
I mean, you you can go from that perspective with food eating to there's another one you've probably seen it on like YouTube or or whatever.
00:09:56.099 --> 00:10:02.419
It's that that cheese wheel, so they throw it down the hill and people go fucking, you have not seen this.
00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:05.139
So, I mean, hats off to the UK.
00:10:05.219 --> 00:10:08.979
They got some of the craziest oh, I think I know what you're saying.
00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:12.579
Yes, yeah, it's like a nine-pound thing of cheese.
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:16.419
The the the slope of the hill is like this incredible, like it's almost vertical.
00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:20.259
Is it like a grassy hill and people just fucking launch themselves down the hill?
00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:23.459
That's exactly it, and it it's nobody can ever catch the wheel of cheese.
00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:32.179
Like it's not that it doesn't happen, but apparently the first person that passed the the end line or the finish line gets the the the wheel of cheese.
00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:38.579
But I'm like that, like there's injuries, people are like snapping like legs, and I'm like, What?
00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:42.659
But and and there's they there's it's not like one at a time, they all go at the same time.
00:10:42.819 --> 00:10:45.059
Yeah, there's like hundreds, it's like a shit show.
00:10:45.219 --> 00:10:53.779
Yeah, there are hundreds of people that just basically
fire themselves down this vertical grassy slope just to win a boat, like a wheel of cheese.
00:10:54.019 --> 00:11:00.099
I was gonna say, like you know, if it was to get like I don't know, a million dollar house or something, like maybe okay.
00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:00.819
I get it.
00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.259
I guess ish kinda.
00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:05.219
I mean, a broken neck isn't worth it, but okay.
00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:08.179
Yep, but for just the cheese, yeah.
00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:17.539
You know, and and it even without any food involved, and like there's that uh I've I've seen a couple of them now on, you know, as I'm I'm doom scrolling and stuff.
00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:24.099
It's this I don't know what the hell it's called, but it's soccer with boxing or soccer with like a UFC kind of thing to it.
00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:34.740
So these contestants they're in a encedo smaller soccer field, they have helmets on, like have the boxing helmets, boxing gloves, that kind of stuff.
00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:38.259
They try and play soccer, but it is full contact.
00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:41.379
So as I'm trying to kick the ball, somebody comes in and can punch me in the head.
00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:44.259
And I was like, Who thought?
00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:45.860
I know that's exactly what I'm like.
00:11:45.939 --> 00:11:47.699
Who thought of this shit, man?
00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:49.620
Like, who just thinks I mean, I get it.
00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:53.860
As men, we're like, hey, uh, you know, I bet you 10 bucks you can't, yeah, yeah.
00:11:53.939 --> 00:11:55.059
You know, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:55.459 --> 00:11:57.299
This is extreme nuttiness.
00:11:57.459 --> 00:12:09.699
Like, yeah, I thought for sure, I was like, oh, this has to be AI, but I've seen a couple of them now where people are getting getting the shit kicked out of them, literally with trying to actually pass up the pass the soccer ball.
00:12:10.179 --> 00:12:18.819
Well, what you're describing is is like you know, unusual 100%, but it's circling it back to like reality, like like things like hot hockey NHL.
00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:23.459
Like when I see people playing a really good game of hockey, I'm like, wow, this is so interesting.
00:12:23.539 --> 00:12:26.740
And then out of nowhere, they just drop their gloves and start touching their skulls.
00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:29.539
I'm like, what does this have to do with hockey?
00:12:29.699 --> 00:12:40.899
Yeah, there was uh I don't know who said it, but there was a there's a famous like sort of sentence or word or whatever that was said that someone said, Oh, I went to boxing match and hockey game broke out.
00:12:41.219 --> 00:12:42.579
Oh, nice, yeah, exactly.
00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:48.740
Yeah, and but I mean that I kind of see because you're getting paid millions of dollars to play the game.
00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:50.099
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.740
Oh, okay.
00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:54.500
You're saying like the soccer thing in the cage is like just like a bar league thing.
00:12:54.740 --> 00:13:02.099
I think well, yeah, that's exactly right, and you know, you you go even further, and then you have these extreme sort of like competitions.
00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:04.899
There's that one where what's it called?
00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:06.019
The wife carry?
00:13:06.099 --> 00:13:07.620
No, what's it called?
00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:11.779
So they carry their wives or their partners on their back.
00:13:12.579 --> 00:13:24.339
Yeah, they carry them on the bank, their back, and they go through like this 300-meter obstacle course of like sand traps and water traps and stuff whilst carrying the spouse on their back.
00:13:24.419 --> 00:13:31.459
I think a lot of them actually carry them upside down, so like their legs or whatever are holding on and their faces in their ass or whatever.
00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:36.740
And the prize at the end, so you you you know, finish go to the finish line.
00:13:36.819 --> 00:13:41.139
The prize is you win your wife's weight in beer.
00:13:42.419 --> 00:14:03.860
Okay, see, right, I'll stop you right there because that that's enough reason for me to do it, but there's no fucking way Aaron would do it, you know, like if there's not like a like again, I'm sorry to revert back to the million dollars here, but if there's no like financial uh reward, they say ain't happening just because Anthony wants you know our weight in beer.
00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:05.059
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:11.939
Even yeah, come on, Aaron, how much fun would that be?
00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:18.099
You know, Anthony jumps over a little obstacle course and dunks your head in the huge puddle, and you know, you gotta hang on your head.
00:14:20.819 --> 00:14:25.699
She can't even like go camping at sandbanks, let alone like they're getting lugged around like that.
00:14:25.939 --> 00:14:27.939
I'm with Aaron, I hate camping, man.
00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.899
Well, uh too soft.
00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:32.579
I'm on both teams there.
00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:38.500
Like, I I I get both sides of it because I do like you know, five-star hotels and luxury and comfort as well, there.
00:14:38.579 --> 00:14:39.860
So don't get me wrong.
00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:45.379
If I have to choose between the two, I know which direction I'll I'll go, but I do love camping.
00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:55.059
But uh you know in regards to this, like the the competitions, uh there's some psychotic people out there, man.
00:14:55.219 --> 00:15:13.860
Like the the bull riding stuff, oh you know, where they rile up a bull to the point of like making it insane, and then they just unleash and they have like clowns out there like helping them make sure this guy doesn't get murdered, even though they probably can't do a fucking thing about it.
00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:17.620
And and you see like it's insane.
00:15:17.699 --> 00:15:26.019
Like, for example, you and I have
one thing in common, we're like sore, and everything hurts, and you know, this is from like walking and sleeping, right?
00:15:26.099 --> 00:15:35.779
And when I see their bodies get like contorted and flipped and stretched the way that these bulls make their body move, like how are they functional?
00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:41.699
Yeah, well, uh we I I actually had the pleasure of watching a live rodeo.
00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:47.699
I was training in Dallas actually at what the hell is it called?
00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:48.819
The stockyards.
00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:56.179
So it's a place in Dallas that actually has like this, you know, it's all restaurants and rodeo and that kind of stuff.
00:15:56.259 --> 00:16:05.699
And I got to sit and watch this live, and I I I gotta tell you, man, it is like you said, it is shocking to see these riders get thrown.
00:16:05.939 --> 00:16:21.139
And when I say throwing, I mean like throwing off the bowl, land, you know, in awkward positions, and then have to jump up super fast because this oh yeah, and when they jump, they're like superheroes, they've got like adrenaline galore going through their bodies.
00:16:21.939 --> 00:16:25.459
I mean, just the thought of having a 3,000-pound bull chase me.
00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:28.019
That's that's enough to keep me on the other side of the fence.
00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:32.579
Oh, yeah, and and like you know, you don't have to go far just on YouTube or whatever.
00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:34.339
Like, they some of them end up ragdolls.
00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:38.979
Oh, yeah, they just like TKO, gone, gonzo, you know.
00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:46.259
Or the idiots that uh what is it they do the bull run in Spain and some of them get gored and trampled on as they're running.
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:47.299
Well, that's even worse.
00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:49.459
Those aren't those are those aren't professionals.
00:16:49.620 --> 00:17:00.099
At least the ones that I'm talking about are sort of professionals, like the the street ones are even crazier because it's just a bunch of yokels running down a hill pretending to be like you know, tourists in the area.
00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:06.099
Yeah, meanwhile, the locals are looking at them from the street behind the chain, going what a bunch of fucking idiots.
00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:08.579
That's probably the entertainment for them, right?
00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:10.420
They probably have bets on who gets gored.
00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.860
So yeah, look at that.
00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:13.299
Oh, a Canadian thinks you can do it.
00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:15.539
Let's fucking go.
00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:19.539
I'll wait until the rest of me is um metal and then I'll give it a shot.
00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:22.500
I mean a couple more fake parts in me.
00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:26.500
Going back to the UK, though, they have some of the craziest shit.
00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:30.339
There's I watched them one time, so it's a shin-kicking competition.
00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:32.420
And it's exactly what it sounds like.
00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:45.460
So you and your opponent, you face to face, you hold each other on the arm or on the shoulders, and you take turns kicking as hard as you fucking can the other person's shin until one of the contestants gives up or falls down.
00:17:46.100 --> 00:17:51.220
Well, that's why I don't even think these are prize.
00:17:51.300 --> 00:18:07.779
I think these are I honestly so like I honestly think it's like that's a machismo male mentality that you know started off in a pub somewhere where someone's like you know, a hot butcher, you can't kick me in the shins and became this great competition.
00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:10.340
There's even ones where there's toe rustling.
00:18:10.820 --> 00:18:20.500
There was a pub in the UK that a bunch of dudes just shits and giggles were like, Hey man, you know, a bunch of blokes, and they were like, Let's take off our socks instead of arm wrestling.
00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:24.500
My big thumb, uh sorry, yeah, my big toe.
00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:29.380
They lock big toes and they literally have to try and push the other person's toe down to a piece of wood.
00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:35.220
Just just doesn't sit well with me right now.
00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:40.980
Well, I mean, I'm sure after what is it, like four or five liters of uh of beer, I don't think uh could be a little bit more than a lot of things.
00:18:41.060 --> 00:18:44.500
I'm hoping it's vodka if that's what they're doing, because that's fucked up.
00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:49.700
So yeah, there are you're a hundred percent some crazy fucking shit out there, man.
00:18:49.940 --> 00:19:00.980
But I I would rather do the like uh you know, the the the one where they just slap each other in the face back and forth non-stop until somebody fucking TKOs themselves.
00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:06.580
That is I'd rather do that than than link up toes with with random people.
00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:08.740
Well it's fair.
00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:15.860
I'd rather lock up toes and have somebody bitch slap me until I pass out, so no thanks, man.
00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:17.620
But I've seen them, I've seen them.
00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:19.220
Like I I yeah.
00:19:20.100 --> 00:19:27.300
And some of them, what I don't get is some of them their their sizes aren't aligned.
00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:41.940
Like there's always a ginormous muscular giant and some skinny ass fucking guy that's about to get his ass whipped, and and you know, the first one hits the big guy, and he doesn't even like flinch, and then the other one just gets thrown to the moon.
00:19:42.100 --> 00:19:44.100
And you're like, how is this legal?
00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:45.380
And why are people cheering?
00:19:45.620 --> 00:19:47.300
And how is this a thing?
00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:51.140
I I'd also love to the Dana Dana Carrie.
00:19:51.300 --> 00:19:52.259
No, what's his name?
00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:56.019
The guy from
UFC, Dana Dana Dana White.
00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:58.580
Yeah, he's in the audience and he's like, he's loving this thing.
00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:00.900
I'm like, it's not even you know what I mean.
00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:05.220
Like it's it's literally bitch slapping each other until someone just gets knocked the fuck out.
00:20:05.300 --> 00:20:08.580
And but I mean they swing hard, man.
00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:10.900
Hard, yeah.
00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:12.740
I'll I'll hard pass on that, bro.
00:20:13.300 --> 00:20:20.100
And notice, like, I I think, and calm me out if I'm wrong, like a lot of this are a bunch of men being retarded.
00:20:20.340 --> 00:20:22.660
Always, it always is, it always is.
00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:28.420
Like I said, I don't recall seeing the like toe women championship line there, you know.
00:20:28.660 --> 00:20:41.860
Although there is the the slapping thing with women in it and other crazy stuff that went like women rodeo and stove, so there's just as much nutty people out there, but I honestly truly believe I mean there's a reason why women live longer than men.
00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:52.660
Obviously, we're we're wired to be idiots and do the stupidest shit on dares and you know, like crazy things we do for money, but uh uh yeah, man.
00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.140
I don't know.
00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:53.620
I don't know.
00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.100
You're right.
00:20:54.180 --> 00:21:06.500
I think for the most part, it's just a bunch of dumb, dumbass guys that drank too much and decided for shits and giggles they were going to uh I don't know, pull each other's nose hairs until someone you know gives up, you know.
00:21:06.580 --> 00:21:08.660
It just yeah, doesn't make sense.
00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:09.539
How was it called?
00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.500
I guess pivoting.
00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:14.500
You you kind of said it, uh you know, the craziest things people have done for money.
00:21:15.300 --> 00:21:18.100
Something that comes to mind, and we're about the same age.
00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:24.019
I know we're not uh the you know the same, but do you remember God, what was it called, Anthony?
00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:28.500
Don't blank now Fear Factor.
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:55.700
Oh, where where they would like have contestants like eat bugs and shit, and like on live, you know, reality TV and both yeah, exactly, or like these alien-looking bugs and have them like eat their you know heads or something, and they would have to do this, otherwise they wouldn't be able to move on to the next round and and make you know whatever hundreds of millions of dollars again.
00:21:55.860 --> 00:22:00.740
But that's that's that's an incentive for you know more kind of money, right?
00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:02.500
And I I sort of get that.
00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:05.620
I mean, and I say this because I did did dumb sh.
00:22:05.860 --> 00:22:06.980
I mean, we talked about this before.
00:22:07.060 --> 00:22:10.660
I've done
done shit dumb shit for like five bucks, right?
00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:11.380
Like I remember one time.
00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.180
Like what?
00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:12.660
Tell me.
00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:17.300
I ate a brick of butter one time for five bucks.
00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:20.500
A whole like I don't I've never done that.
00:22:20.580 --> 00:22:22.180
Why the fuck would you do that, Robert?
00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:29.700
Because someone said I couldn't do it and I said I betcha I can, and someone said I betcha five bucks and I fucking did it and I got my five bucks.
00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:31.940
Now I'll tell ya, I didn't feel good after.
00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:34.820
Or we'd have competitions.
00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:37.940
So a lot of my friends actually growing up, they all worked at McDonald's.
00:22:38.100 --> 00:22:40.340
So after hours, you'd hang around and stuff.
00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:43.620
And then we'd have competitions about how many hamburgers you could fit in your mouth.
00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:45.300
Um yeah.
00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:48.420
So again, so you're one of these people.
00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:49.060
Oh yeah.
00:22:49.140 --> 00:22:49.460
Oh yeah.
00:22:49.620 --> 00:23:00.420
Like I've I've I've clearly said it before that if you know, if if cameras or cell phones were around back in my day, I I would honestly have probably one of the most watched YouTube channels just to see.
00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:03.620
And I would just say, Rob didn't die again today.
00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:05.060
Good try universe.
00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:06.580
That would be my entire topic.
00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:09.060
And and I would just go off and do stupid shit.
00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:10.900
So or it could have been one episode.
00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:12.180
Oh, Robert dead.
00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:16.259
Universe got that son of a bit.
00:23:19.860 --> 00:23:23.539
Well, there's one thing about like these stupid little beds, right?
00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:24.820
Like the what was it?
00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:30.660
There was a guy one time that for five bucks, I think I read it, he would he licked a bus floor.
00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:34.660
Like that's that to me is just that's dumb.
00:23:34.820 --> 00:23:42.740
Like that's taking it too far, you know, or consume these guys that are like, I'm gonna drink, you know, uh, what is it, a pint of hot sauce.
00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:44.500
Like that's just stupid.
00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:53.539
Like you're physically putting yourself into some, you know, I don't know, painful experiences, and and it's more of a humiliation, it really is.
00:23:54.100 --> 00:23:55.620
I I hear you, and I agree.
00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.420
That's fucked.
00:23:56.580 --> 00:24:01.140
It reminds me of the the you know the Jackass series, isn't that what it's called?
00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:04.660
Yeah, where he like snorts wasombi and shit like that.
00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:13.060
See, but that's the thing, is like as much as I it's like like I said before, you can't look away, right?
00:24:13.140 --> 00:24:14.180
Like the hot dog eating.
00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:16.740
As much as I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with this?
00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:23.300
Everything they did, I watched it like intently, yeah, enthusiastically, like, oh my god, the guy did it, right?
00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:24.340
What in that job?
00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:29.620
And uh yeah, I agree, but you know, like, or what was the one where again with Jackass?
00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:34.740
They put a they put one of them in the ring with a professional female kickboxer.
00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:38.900
And she kicked a shit out of them.
00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:47.860
But again, you know, there there are people that have done that in the past where they were like, okay, I'll uh for a thousand bucks I'll I'll fight a street fighter, and then they they knock him the fuck out.
00:24:48.019 --> 00:24:51.860
And then finally when he wakes up like 10 days later, he gets to spend the thousand dollars.
00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:58.500
Like there yeah, there's one thing about going an extreme stunt or you know, dares again.
00:24:58.580 --> 00:25:00.660
I am guilty of some some stupid ones.
00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:03.220
Um I don't recall doing anything like that.
00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:04.180
Really?
00:25:05.060 --> 00:25:08.259
Maybe it's just uh maybe it's just uh an onglophone thing.
00:25:08.340 --> 00:25:14.019
Maybe the francophones are smart much smarter and they avoid uh to maybe too drunk or something.
00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:14.580
I don't know.
00:25:17.300 --> 00:25:26.259
You know, but now people will go to you know massive extremes, like using your well that I can't remember what it was.
00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:30.180
It wasn't all that long ago, but there was a guy that uh auctioned off his forehead.
00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:32.820
Do you remember that for a tattoo for an advertisement?
00:25:33.060 --> 00:25:36.100
I think it was like Golden Palace or some kind of shit.
00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:38.180
Oh no, I don't know that one.
00:25:38.340 --> 00:25:41.460
I do know of another one from a radio channel, but uh okay, yeah.
00:25:41.620 --> 00:25:44.420
So this guy, I think when he got like 35,000 or something.
00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:46.180
I mean, of course, I'm probably wrong.
00:25:46.340 --> 00:25:50.660
So, you know, forgive me, don't send me hate mail and stuff and say that I'm an idiot and I don't know.
00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:53.140
Okay, yeah, you got a couple grand for doing that, yeah.
00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:58.660
Exactly, like 35 grand, 40 grand for permanent tattoo across his head of whatever the place was.
00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.660
I think it was Golden Palace, if I'm not mistaken.
00:26:00.820 --> 00:26:01.620
It was a casino.
00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:03.460
Holy shit, yeah.
00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:07.860
Or, you know, yeah, I don't know.
00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:12.740
It it like to
the extremes of uh like complete humiliation.
00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:28.900
I mean, going even further, of course I admit some dumb shit, but there's that guy, so I love the show called Oh my gosh, it's two surgeons in California, and they are plastic surgeons, anyways.
00:26:29.060 --> 00:26:38.019
They had this contestant came in one time, and as a joke, as not a joke, actually, as a bet, to win$100,000 who's a professional gambler.
00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:42.180
This buddy of his said, I bet you$100,000 that you won't get breast implants.
00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:58.420
He's like, Okay, goes and he gets like 38 C implants put into his body, and I think he still has them today, like it's just this full-grown man with with with breasts, and you know, he keeps them because he plays with them all the time, and you know, made a hundred grand.
00:26:58.820 --> 00:27:00.420
So there are some you know what?
00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.460
I didn't know that was an option.
00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:01.860
You know what?
00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.980
I'm gonna do that.
00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:06.900
It is Christmas soon, so you know, dear Santa.
00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:15.539
You know, I can play with my own breasts, that sounds fun, dear Santa, dear Santa, boobies, please.
00:27:15.620 --> 00:27:16.100
Thank you.
00:27:16.340 --> 00:27:25.140
Yeah, yeah, or or or crazy dares where there was a dude I I now uh Japan, China.
00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:27.700
I'm gonna okay, I'm gonna say that side of the world.
00:27:27.860 --> 00:27:35.060
This guy took a bet about living in a complete darkness locked-in bathroom for like 30 days.
00:27:35.380 --> 00:27:40.420
Um and he has no human contact, and I think the bet was for like 100k or something.
00:27:40.580 --> 00:27:42.180
I don't think he lasted the entire time.
00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:49.700
I think he broke out at like the 24th, 25th day, almost made it, and but I still think he made like 70k out of it, but like just extreme.
00:27:51.060 --> 00:27:52.820
No, no, yeah, for sure, man.
00:27:52.900 --> 00:27:58.900
Like if someone told me uh deep fried chicken, you know, by shares into cozy.
00:28:00.580 --> 00:28:08.019
But yeah, yeah, or or that I and that this one blew my mind, like auctioning off your virginity.
00:28:08.820 --> 00:28:11.300
Like, that's just redonkulous, man.
00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:23.940
Like, you really must be desperate for money, or maybe it's a genius thing, I don't know, but it was just I don't know, like the icky, it you know, that's exactly what it is, you know.
00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:25.779
Uh yeah, exactly what it is.
00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:32.180
I think I think because of public outcry about people saying that that it's icky and this isn't like this is just wrong.
00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:41.700
I don't think it actually went to full for fruit fruition, but there was like talks of like a million dollars some people were spending, and it's just okay.
00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:51.060
So, you
know, this is almost like that indecent proposal movie where you know there is a line in the sand where you know maybe it's acceptable to sell your virginity, you know.
00:28:51.140 --> 00:29:03.860
Like, yeah, uh do I work 10 years of my life, uh you know, nine to five, 40 hours a week, uh for some corporation, or do I lose my virginity and uh go to the Barbados, you know?
00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:05.700
You're right.
00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:06.500
Hey, you know what?
00:29:06.580 --> 00:29:09.539
It it brings back to the very beginning of our show today.
00:29:09.620 --> 00:29:11.539
We talked about a million dollars.
00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:12.420
There you go.
00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:15.460
There's there's your your threshold for a million bucks.
00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:17.220
The line in the sand gets uh blurred out.
00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:31.620
You know, I I would do a lot for you know, I said earlier I haven't done like I've never eaten a brick of butter just because a dumb friend of mine said something, but um uh you know, uh I am definitely one of those people that like there is a line in the sand where I would eat that brick and butter, right?
00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:35.060
Like uh it would probably not even be that high of a threshold, you know.
00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:45.300
Probably in the like, you know, maybe with my cardiovascular disease, uh it'd have to be a little high, but you know, once we enter the 10k realm, I guess I would start eating that butter.
00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:48.100
Yeah, just start start like a butter lick, right?
00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:50.980
Yeah, that's so gross.
00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:54.980
Yeah, uh and uh it just hit me like lightning bolt.
00:29:55.060 --> 00:30:05.220
Uh the the one I was thinking about was for the tattoo on the forehead, was he tattooed him the word crud on his forehead because it was a radio channel contest.
00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:12.180
No, but but where this became fucked up is that it was actually an April Fool's thing that the radio channel did.
00:30:13.060 --> 00:30:20.420
And and the there was like you know, the site itself said it was like legitimate and like do this and we'll pay you.
00:30:20.580 --> 00:30:41.140
But then if you clicked on the link, it brought you to another page that said like this is a joke, but he had because it was a time thing, like time sensitive, he he went and did it, and it ended up in in in court, so it's something you can Google and uh I forget what the outcome of the court thing was, but he ended up I think he ended up winning some money from that radio channel.
00:30:41.300 --> 00:30:42.980
I don't even know, it could be a farce, you know.
00:30:43.060 --> 00:30:49.300
I never know what's on the internet anymore, but I thought it was really interesting and you know, whatever, man.
00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:56.500
I would I wouldn't, you know, uh I'll get my own horrible tattoos on my body and regret it all by myself without getting paid.
00:30:56.740 -->
00:31:05.300
I mean, hey, good on him for winning the lawsuit, but I mean I hope to god this guy's not reproducing because he doesn't sound like the smartest tool in the shed, so Sharper's talking.
00:31:05.539 --> 00:31:06.019
Yeah, that's it.
00:31:06.100 --> 00:31:07.060
I mean, don't get me wrong.
00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:10.420
I guess if you're you're desperate for money, yeah, you know, you'll you'll do what you want to do.
00:31:11.380 --> 00:31:17.060
I mean, I I still agree with you that that's just fucking retarded, and uh you know, and I apologize.
00:31:17.140 --> 00:31:17.460
You know what?
00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:19.380
I shouldn't have used the word retarded, I know that's bad.
00:31:19.460 --> 00:31:22.660
I'm sorry, I'm just old school and I default to to that sometimes.
00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:28.019
And I as I hear it said, I I I'm calling myself out, I know it's bad, and I'm sorry.
00:31:28.100 --> 00:31:30.740
That's I I gotta reprogram my brain.
00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:35.380
Hey man, at least you understand it, at least you know, and then you're making the corrections.
00:31:35.460 --> 00:31:36.900
So yeah, thank you, sir.
00:31:37.300 --> 00:31:38.019
Wait, but you know what?
00:31:38.100 --> 00:31:40.980
I think right now would be a nice little uh yeah, it's that time.
00:31:41.060 --> 00:31:42.259
What time is it?
00:31:49.779 --> 00:32:10.900
All right, so Robert, this week, you know, as you know, I I lost my job recently, so I'm in the job market, you know, I'm on LinkedIn and Indeed, and I'm setting up my profile and I'm doing all these things, and I gotta say, the process sucks, and I have a rant about it to share with everyone.
00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:21.700
So, you know, first of all, let's just put a pin in this AI is taking people's jobs already, like there's no debate.
00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:23.140
That debate is gone.
00:32:23.300 --> 00:32:27.620
Okay, like uh, you go on LinkedIn right now, every goddamn profile says open to work.
00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:38.500
Of course, and so the job market is is ridiculous, and the requests from the companies, you know, what they're expecting you to do for less money now is like insane.
00:32:38.820 --> 00:33:00.259
You know what a job used to be 70 is now 55, and but the job uh you know what they're requiring of you is is more, and then of course they're saying above and beyond everything you learned in the last you know 30 years of your life or 20 years of your life in your career, like now you have to become a specialist in AI, which you know, I mean, I guess I am.
00:33:00.340 --> 00:33:02.180
I'm I'm trying to learn and I'm doing my best.
00:33:02.340 --> 00:33:02.660
Yep.
00:33:03.060 --> 00:33:10.500
But it's all just to say, like it boils down to we want to get more out of you for less.
00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:10.980
Yep.
00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:14.820
And now there's more of you looking for work so we can get away with this.
00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:15.460
Correct.
00:33:15.940 --> 00:33:26.180
And and and uh the the where I'm getting at with this too is part of the process of looking for work, the job descriptions are wishy-washy.
00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:29.140
You don't really get a full sense of what the role actually is.
00:33:29.300 --> 00:33:39.060
Like for example, uh you know, some of them will mention that you're gonna get take phone calls for support thing, but you know, they don't all so like is it just email support?
00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:40.180
Is it live chat?
00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:41.060
Is it all three?
00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:42.420
Is there phone calls involved?
00:33:42.580 --> 00:33:43.940
Is there video calls involved?
00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:45.539
They don't mention any of that.
00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:52.820
Uh so you have to go through this entire process just to find out if if it's even something you want to do, and it takes a half hour per application.
00:33:53.060 --> 00:33:53.380
Yep.
00:33:53.539 --> 00:34:09.779
And then I thought, I thought a few years ago that they passed a lot that forces companies to show salaries on the job application, you know, on the job board or whatever, but yeah, yeah, it's like one out of it, only the shit jobs are are posting the salary.
00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:19.940
Yeah, of course, you know, the low-paying jobs are are posting them, but any good job, they're all like you know, TBD, you're gonna have to find out after you go through all the loops, you know.
00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:35.699
So I think like if I were you know prime minister of the world or president of the world, my first uh line of business would be show the goddamn compensation on the first line of the job posting and respect your employees.
00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:37.940
Of course, of course, yeah, you're right.
00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:40.659
I mean, it it sounds exceptionally daunting.
00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:46.740
Uh, you know, as I mentioned once before to you, way before the car accident, I was actually part of the HR sort of stream.
00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:52.099
I helped people write resumes, prepare for interviews, and even back then it was a very daunting process.
00:34:52.180 --> 00:35:04.900
So now adding in AI, now adding in exactly what you said, where you know the market is so saturated with people looking for work that employers know this and they can sort of expect more work for less pay.
00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:15.940
Like I will go through the process and I will kick ass and I'm I'm a fucking rock star.
00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:16.579
Yep.
00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:37.300
But but you know, they also make you do about two hours worth of research and and and they ask you to do presentations and and you know, set up a whole you know Google Doc presentation and only for maybe not even getting an email letting you know you got declined.
00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:37.940
Correct.
00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:41.940
Yeah, they they literally ghost you after you've spent that much time on
things sometimes.
00:35:42.180 --> 00:35:48.180
So yeah, and you think that would be rare, but it's not rare to be ghosted, like to not hear back from a company.
00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:54.260
It's it's way more the standard than than than people think.
00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:57.940
Nope, absolutely people who haven't had to look for work weeks in work.
00:35:58.260 --> 00:36:14.579
Yeah, even 10 years ago, prior to the whole AI push and stuff, we for our resumes that we brought into the in you know into the organization, we pushed them through a basically a scan, as like a screening tool that would extrapolate uh keywords, right?
00:36:14.740 --> 00:36:20.659
And if it didn't have keywords, it just filtered it out and put it into a different sort of queue, and you know, we can hammer that way.
00:36:20.740 --> 00:36:27.619
And that was just a way for us as HR to go from like 8,000 resumes down to you know a hundred kind of idea.
00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:30.420
So it just helped sort of uh streamline it a little bit.
00:36:30.579 --> 00:36:31.539
But yeah, you're right.
00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:39.300
Now if they're asking you to jump through hoops and stuff, just to in order to apply to the position, that just seems a little uh I don't know, yeah.
00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:47.780
And and I think I think that for legal reasons they keep it up so that it gives the illusion that they're giving everyone the opportunity to get this job.
00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:55.139
But sure, you know, when you see a job posting that's been there for three weeks and there's like you know 10,000 applications, you know they're not looking anymore.
00:36:55.300 --> 00:37:15.300
They they've already they already have their uh they've already reached out to people, they're already doing interviews, but yet for some reason the posting is still there, so yeah, you know, so you if you're looking for work, you kind of have the obligation to apply, yes, but you're literally throwing like an ice cube at water, like it's nothing.
00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:19.220
It's of course you're wasting your time, but it's so yeah, I don't know.
00:37:20.180 --> 00:37:21.780
Yeah, so that's my rant of the day.
00:37:21.860 --> 00:37:37.619
I just think you know, for anyone out there who's unemployed and going through the same process I am, like you know, chin up, you're not alone, and we'll get through this, and you know, life it is what it is, but it doesn't mean we you know we can't criticize it.
00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:38.340
That's correct.
00:37:38.579 --> 00:37:49.940
And hopefully, you know, in time that we they can make the process more reasonable, show us upfront what the tasks that they're needing up front and what the salary is.
00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:50.340
Yeah.
00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:58.180
Treat us like a human being so that you know we can work our ass off for them too in in in a in an honorable, un honorable manner, you know.
00:37:58.260 --> 00:38:09.460
So it's it's important to point out too, though, that's this is not every organization because some of them have phenomenal skill sets at writing job descriptions that are very detailed, so you know exactly what you're getting into.
00:38:09.619 --> 00:38:16.340
Like you said, you know, there's some that actually post the compensation, so right away, you know, I'm not gonna waste their time or my time.
00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:25.539
So some are doing it very, very well, but the ambiguity or at least the the you know the guesswork or that you know lack of detail, I think that's just I don't know.
00:38:26.340 --> 00:38:26.820
Yeah.
00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:30.420
Some post a range, and I and that's that's good enough for me.
00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:37.059
Like honestly, if there's a range, at least I you know, uh kind of like a starting to end point depending on your skill level.
00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:38.260
I mean, that that's fine.
00:38:38.340 --> 00:38:41.539
And that those ranges sometimes are like 55 to 85, you know.
00:38:41.700 --> 00:38:47.220
Yeah, of course, absolutely not even specific, but at least you you have a gauge, like there's something.
00:38:47.460 --> 00:38:48.019
You got it.
00:38:48.099 --> 00:38:55.380
Uh so you know, to uh if you're an employer out there and you're in charge of an HR team, take note, please, and kind of darts.
00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:56.180
Thank you.
00:38:56.740 --> 00:39:02.500
Or just offer Anthony a job and HR, and you can rewrite like job descriptions and make it much easier for them.
00:39:02.659 --> 00:39:07.139

00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:10.420
