00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:37.599
Welcome back to Stony Pods.
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:38.959
This is SGO Swervo.
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.239
Today we're going to talk to you guys about a little bit of brand talk.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.239
So before I get into it, I want to give a special shout out to my man's Toaf.
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.439
Today we just got word we're going to be doing a photo shoot.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.159
Next weekend, we're going to go to Graffiti Pier.
00:01:52.319 --> 00:02:00.879
I have an idea where we take a drone shoot where from up high, I would say about telephone pole length height.
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.719
And um, you know, in one of my new fits, lay flat down on the road.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.080
Okay or somewhere like concrete-ish, get a photo shoot clear of that with people standing around there.
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.240
Play shoot slash video shoot low key.
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:23.199
So actually, which reminds me, he has an idea himself where he wants to put me in a PlayStation 2 video game.
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:23.680
Ooh.
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.919
And have me swapping clothes.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:29.199
And I was like, you know what?
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.000
That's really fire.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.120
I was like, go crazy, man.
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:32.800
You know, PlayStation 2 noise.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:35.680
Yep.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:36.800
It is crazy.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.560
That used to scare me when I was a kid.
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.080
Why Resident Evil?
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:41.840
It used to scare me.
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.759
The only reason why it scared me is when my games wouldn't work and I would have to keep on doing them.
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.599
That's what pissed me off.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.240
We got these really nice ideas.
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.000
We're gonna uh get on Discord tonight.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.879
We're gonna talk a little bit more about it, get in more depth about it.
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:55.280
Yeah.
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.199
Also, I talked to Pastor.
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.960
We're gonna change our idea a little bit about that cube tattoo.
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:08.319
So instead of doing a cube, we'll do a pile of grenades with eyes on them and spiders crawling over them.
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.360
And from y'all talking so much, y'all bringing in consistent ideas.
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:12.560
Yes, absolutely, absolutely.
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.800
Consistency is key.
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:15.360
Yes.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.479
That is right.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.039
So we're gonna meet up August 23rd, okay, and we'll talk about it more.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.599
Also, might invite a couple people.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.719
Jordi, you were more invited to come and partake.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:27.360
Okay.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.199
Um we might get a couple other people.
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.719
I would love for a couple more models.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:31.280
Nice.
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.039
Men, female, don't matter.
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:33.599
Okay.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.080
Um that's next week, right?
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.879
Yeah, that will be next weekend, preferably either a Saturday or a Sunday.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.080
So excited for it.
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.360
Like, words can't even describe how I needed to be more consistent about my content.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:47.599
Right.
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.680
Because I was frying my brain out.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:50.080
Exactly.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.240
You know, thinking, like, yeah, man, what can I do?
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.199
What can I do?
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.280
And it just doesn't happen overnight.
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:55.599
No.
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.199
This just happened out of nowhere.
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.400
I wasn't expecting it.
00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:58.800
Yeah.
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:09.439
And just due to being consistent and talking to him, being consistent with my brand on my page, it's going to bring in big attention, especially what we're doing.
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.159
This guy's truly inspiring, straight out of Philly, too.
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:12.400
Yeah.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.439
He's straight out of Philly.
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.879
His name is Humboldt Zay, right?
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.879
Humble, yes, his name is Humble Zay.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.720
Uh Isaiah Thomas.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.279
Walked from Philly all the way to California.
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.279
He got hit by a car twice, streamed the whole thing.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:32.800
And his whole idea was to go and do this faith walk to raise six figures to build a trade school for Philly kids.
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.879
It's it's honestly this is one of the wildest modern Philly stories.
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.680
It is bizarre.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.160
It's I feel like this is gonna be legendary.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.399
This is gonna still be something that's talked about, and he's gonna be known about 20, 30 years from now.
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:44.959
I promise.
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:51.279
He streamed every step mountains, deserts, sundowns, towns didn't matter.
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:51.759
Right.
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.519
He walked 30 plus miles a day for 124 fucking days, man.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:58.639
Straight.
00:04:58.800 --> 00:04:59.120
That's insane.
00:04:59.439 --> 00:04:59.600
Straight.
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.160
He didn't stop.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.480
He was streaming this every day.
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:03.600
Yeah, every day.
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:04.720
Consistently.
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:05.600
Consistently.
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:06.160
Consistency.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:07.759
But you know what the crazy part is?
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.439
On stream, he got hit by a car, man.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.560
Hospitalized, concussed, bruised.
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.600
Still pushing.
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:16.959
And guess what?
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.519
When he got discharged, he went right back to it.
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:19.839
Yeah.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:20.879
Right back to it.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:21.680
Right back on the spot.
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.959
Right back to the exact to be honest, right back to the exact spot that he was where he got hit by that car.
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.800
So our question for you is honestly, what's stopping you from achieving goals that you set yourself to achieve?
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:35.600
That's right.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.319
Welcome back to Stody Pods.
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.079
This is Geordie215, and right now we're talking music.
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.680
Straight up from yours truly, Jordy215, me.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.240
As Albamania 2026 continues, people wonder why I've been dropping so much music this year.
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.959
I wanted to challenge myself and see what my consistency would bring out of me.
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.360
It's more than music, it's a passion.
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:04.560
And even when some music may not resonate with others, it will always resonate with me.
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.959
So to all who have an ambition, chase and pursue all those dreams.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.120
Don't give up and stay focused.
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:18.319
Right now I want to get into a song that I'm dropping on Tuesday featuring a really close friend of mine, Ethiopia.
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:24.560
The song's titled Too Deep to Swim, my first single off my next project, Heartbreak Station.
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:25.759
I hope y'all enjoyed it.
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.600
We'll be right back with more Stony Pods to our first interview.
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.839
Welcome back to Stony Pods.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.720
This is Jordy215, and it is interview time.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.879
And this is Stody Pods' first interview, and I'm here with the one and only Ethiopia talented music artist.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:34.720
Me and you both have recently worked on a song together that is dropping on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, titled Too Deep to Swim.
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.800
The first time we had worked on a song, and I'm excited for the world to hear this track.
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:39.439
How about you?
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.319
Well, first, Roddy, I want to thank you so much for inviting me to this podcast.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.360
I feel so grateful and grateful and honored, you know, um to be recognized.
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.759
And I'm super excited.
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:52.959
I'm really happy.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.879
Um, the song is very fun.
00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:04.000
I had fun making it, and um, this song really just kind of registered a part of how I felt, how I've been feeling a little bit.
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.160
So I can't wait for the people to hear it, and I can't wait for them to relate to it.
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.360
Me too.
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.319
I'm glad that we both finally got together on this track and finally were able to make a song together.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.319
It's been a few years since we've known each other.
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:17.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.439
And that's how I that's kind of how a lot of my collaborations work.
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:30.560
Um, I know the artists for a little bit, I listen to their sound, I listen to them develop, and I would hope that they do the same for me, you know what I mean?
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.279
And then if we feel like we can collaborate on something, then you know that's great.
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:40.559
So I really I think time is important and consistency is important as well.
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.000
So both things, yeah, which you've been doing.
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:50.240
So I definitely recognize that, and your sound is different, it's authentic, and I'm always willing to work with authentic people.
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.840
So without further ado, let's get into this interview, shall we?
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.279
Yes, of course.
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:56.000
Let's go.
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:05.279
All right, so first, what originally inspired you to pursue music, and when did you realize this could become a serious career for you?
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.399
So I actually started um as a musician first, as a drummer.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.559
I played um instruments first, yeah.
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.720
And my that was when I was two years old.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.480
That's something I yeah, like a lot of people don't know that.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.759
I'm a percussionist, I love um all percussion music.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.679
I've played all of it throughout my whole life.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:29.200
I've been a part of the band, I've performed throughout all different types of shows and stuff, talent shows.
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:36.240
So me being a musician is really my first, um, my first step into the music industry.
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:43.519
I also wrote my first song at four years old, but it was more like a poem and then music, right?
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:44.320
You know what I mean?
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.519
Like I just I didn't What four-year-old knows writes a song.
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:49.840
It was my mom.
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.759
Look, my mom, like she had us reading early, and mom.
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.320
Yeah, my mom was really diligent about that.
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.840
I appreciate that, and it helped me be literate.
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:20.080
And poetry was one of the first things that she introduced to us, and that was the first poem I ever wrote, and it's called Black Rose, and I wrote it, and then I was like, Well, I'll turn this into a song, but I felt like I couldn't sing, so I used to pray to God to send me a voice that would actually fit me.
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.279
Yeah.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:49.840
So over the years, like and and just be we've known each other for the last few years, but I've never really showcased my vocal ability because I've really been curating it and growing it because outside of being unsure, I didn't think that I had I was good enough at the time, but I had to develop myself mentally, physically, and work around the idea of being good enough and be around, be the be authentic in myself.
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.759
So I had to develop that.
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:53.279 --> 00:11:10.960
So it's not until I hit like 22, 23, 24, I dropped my first songs, or maybe it's a little earlier than that, but I dropped my first song, you know, signal, and I feel like okay, this is something that I could I can continue because I now I have my sound and it's just been growing ever since.
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.799
So it definitely takes a lot of time.
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:22.960
It's taken me the last 15, 20 years to do it, but a lot of the music um that I've I drop, I've written over the course of the last 10, 15 years.
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:23.440
Wow.
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:30.879
Every song has a true meaning to who I am as a person and my life that I've lived.
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:40.000
So, like artistry is not only a part of my family and something that we do, but it's also something that we represent and we live through.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.039
That's amazing.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.480
Speaking of your sound, I wanted to ask you, how would you describe it and your artistic identity?
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.279
And what do you think separates you from other artists?
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.919
Well, I grew up in a dominated Afro-Caribbean household.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.879
So um my mom just mostly played reggae music, even though I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, I was around hip-hop all the time.
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.879
That's how your album is.
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:04.240
Yes, labeled as reggae.
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:05.759
Yep.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.159
Yeah.
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:16.080
So even though like the album is versatile and it has like a little pop and rap on there, it's defined as a reggae album because I'm defined as a reggae artist.
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:26.399
And a lot of people used to say, well, don't box yourself in as a reggae artist because not a lot of people listen to reggae, but I that's my true calling, you know what I mean?
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:33.679
I've been influenced by so much different types of reggae artists, and I've raised in reggae, that's what I create and that's what I make.
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:44.159
I also love rock music, punk music, so I like to collaborate the two and kind of like create a fusion of the genre and do like a reggae punk.
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:44.480
Yeah.
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:53.279
So now that we're speaking about artists from reggae and rock, speaking of that, which artists had the biggest impact on your style and the way you create your music?
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.360
There's so many different artists.
00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:05.200
Like I could I could put on like something from the 1950s, and it's probably something I heard when I was younger, and it'd be like, Yeah, that's the song that told me to make reggae music.
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:16.320
You know, a lot of people say Bob Marley, they say, you know, the the bunny whalers, they say the the same reggae artists, but I love I've listened to Bob, I've listened to all of them.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:21.919
I love John Holt, I love Barrys Hammond, I love Baritin Lee um Levy.
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:33.120
Always say his name wrong, but you know, it's like I just have a list of different artists that influence part of me, but it's really genres that influence majority.
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:39.600
So I love dance hall, I love reggae, I love dub reggae, dub reggae influences me the most.
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:51.679
Um ska, so there's like different levels of genre of reggae that influences me, and then the artist that creates that type of music is really what inspires me.
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.879
So I'm I'm inspired by world music and the subgenres of that.
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:03.519
So then looking back at your career, is there a song, project, or performance that means the most to you?
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.600
Um, let me think.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.639
Uh because I I I like a release once every year, that's what I get told.
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:17.440
I think um lineup will probably be the best uh representation of me.
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.679
Go tune in the lineup, y'all.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.039
Yeah, lineup.
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:27.440
Uh even that remix, um, you know, that remix, that song, it still gets played, it gets a lot of play today.
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:35.919
Okay but it really, really, Jordy, it really kind of showcased my my sound, the type of music that I like to make.
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.559
Like that.
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:42.639
If you if you said if there was a word like a something next to my name in a dictionary, it would be that song.
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.519
You know what I mean?
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.720
Like that song is what defines me as an artist.
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.879
Line up defines Ethiopia.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:56.799
Yeah, like the type of style, the cadence, the flow, like my whole idea as an artist is to give people a vibe.
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.919
You know, I want them to feel my music through the through the headphones, through whatever they're listening to.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:10.080
Like I remember listening to Bob Marley's album, Exodus, and I can literally hear him singing in my head, and that's what I wanted.
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.440
You know, I want people to feel the many goals they want to accomplish, right?
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.240
Exactly.
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.360
Yeah, I want people to feel my music, not just listen to it.
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.639
So then where do you see your music career going next?
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.320
Well, I'm definitely gonna be exploring more in the reggae genre.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.519
Um, I'm paying attention.
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:29.759
I've always paid attention to a lot of reggae artists, and I admire what they do.
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:44.799
Um, I just feel like I want to move into a different direction that is uh a different level of my authenticity and the type of uh persona I have in music.
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.879
So I'm definitely gonna be doing more with reggae sound.
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:56.559
I'm gonna be creating more instrumentals, I'm gonna be working with more computer, yeah, more composers, definitely more collaborations.
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.320
That's like example with you, Jay.
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:06.240
Like after dropping that first EP, it allowed me to open up space to work with other, yeah, to work with other artists.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:17.759
So yeah, I'm I'm able to do that now, and I could actually pay attention to other great artists and you know, um, intertwine with your sound and actually grow my fan base.
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:28.080
Like, that's really my next I would like to grow my fan base and connect my fan base with other people because successful people like other people to succeed, and that's what I like to be around.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.200
If y'all can go check out Ethiopia on all platforms, Burnface out now everywhere.
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.799
Thank you again for being the first guest interviewing on Sody Pods Ethiopia.
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.000
It was a pleasure talking to you.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.240
Oh, the pleasure is all mine.
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.360
Thank you so much.
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:42.399
I'm so grateful.
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:43.759
Thank you for having me.
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:45.519
I appreciate it so much.
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:46.960
Thank you again.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:47.919
You too.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.039
Have a great weekend.
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.039
Thank you, and I can't wait for our song.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:51.759
We lit.
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.399
Me too.
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.360
Let's go, we lit.
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.480
Two deep to swim coming out next Tuesday.
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.440
Be ready, y'all.
00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:58.720
What's good, guys?
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:02.080
This is STU Swerver, and welcome back to Stody Pods.
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.960
Today we're gonna talk to you guys about fitness.
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:14.640
And we went around, talked to a couple of the guys at the gym and wanted to know what would this what was their favorite and their least favorite thing to do at the gym.
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.119
And here's a couple of the responses we got.
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.599
So, bro, my favorite thing to do in the gym is my chest.
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:28.799
Like the work on my chest trying to get rid of these salty man boo, you feel me?
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.279
So chess is my main thing.
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:36.160
Thing I hate the most of the gym was I'm starting to like is legs.
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.119
Leg day.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:45.039
You know, leg day is crazy for everybody, but definitely like legs is a is it's it's something you gotta get used to.
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:46.319
But chess is my favorite.
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:48.799
Gotta get rid of these these these titties, man.
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.440
You feel me?
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.759
No, I definitely feel you, five boy, man.
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.839
Yo, I used to be the same way, bro.
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.400
These man titties had to go, so yeah.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.440
I had to work on my chest myself, my guy.
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:05.440
Uh I I hear him on the uh the leg part, man.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:06.960
It's definitely something you gotta get used to.
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:07.680
Facts, dude.
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.240
Today, actually, I had a more intense leg workout.
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:17.920
So today's I did uh 45 plates on uh squat lunges, and I did about six sets of ten of them.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.480
Oh man.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.480
Uh I'm good at that feeling of that tomorrow.
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:25.359
No, I can tell you that because the other day I did 13 miles and my legs felt every mile of that.
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:26.559
13 miles, yeah.
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.920
I respect you on that, man.
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.640
I gotta do that.
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:38.240
But yeah, fly boy, dude, for real, the chest work to get rid of the man's easy wild work, but I completely understand that.
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.480
And leg day for sure, bro.
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.960
It's very, very challenging at first, but once you get used to it, it's cake, man.
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.839
And then you'll have Thunderthighs, my guy.
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:48.640
You know what I'm saying?
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.400
We out here for real, for real.
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.160
Shout out to Flyboy, thank you for sending in your response, bro.
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.799
Uh, let's play our other one that we got here, bro.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:07.119
Let's see what they think about this, don't this is Jordy215 from Stody Pods here with We got Rube RO dot 205 underscore on IG.
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:14.640
So my question for you, Rube, is what is your most favorite thing to do to the gym, and what's your least favorite thing to do here at the gym?
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.640
As far as favorites, I got two leading favorites.
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:56.880
I think everybody hates leg day.
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.200
Yeah, I think everybody's not a fan of leg day.
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:02.240
Appreciate you, bro.
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.680
Thank you, my guy.
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.279
Tell you right off the bat.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.640
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:08.240
Again with the fucking titties.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.200
Uh yeah, I know.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.319
Again with the titties.
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:12.240
Listen, everybody wants to lose their man titties.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:13.759
You know.
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.240
Nah, but right off the bat, you ain't wrong though.
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.160
Everybody hates leg day.
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.519
But I'm surprised.
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.480
Bru, you hate back day?
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.240
That's one of your least favorites?
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:25.839
Bro, I'm telling you.
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.599
He I feel like he's he's telling a little bit of the fib, because bro's jacked.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.319
I'm saying, bro, I've been seeing him in the gym.
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.799
And that's your least favorite, bro.
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:35.599
Back?
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.039
I know one of his favorites is core, because bro put me on this on core workouts.
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.680
I do see him, he he does a lot of course.
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.920
And um that's great, man.
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:50.559
I I did I did one of the queer things that I I saw him doing the other week, and I paid for that, I ain't gonna lie.
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.599
It'd be hurt.
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.759
It chore is no joke, man.
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:55.359
And you know what?
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.680
That's another one of them workouts where you gotta be really good with your your posture.
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.640
Because one wrong move really hurts yourself.
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:08.559
And the good thing about that is like both of these guys that answered are both consistent at the gym, just like us.
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:09.359
We're there every day.
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.160
Every day.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.960
And they're almost there every single day, doing as just as much as we are.
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:15.440
Yeah.
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.079
And we respect that, and we salute y'all.
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:23.039
And we agree with everything you said from legs.
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.440
Leg day is like like we said, uh probably everybody's least favorite.
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:29.599
But once you get used to it, it's legal.
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:30.880
It's absolutely something to death.
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:37.599
We have some favor with core, and like we said, something about chess day, we're losing them fucking man yet.
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.799
So everybody, stay in the fitness, stay healthy, you know the vibes.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.319
We'll be back more with Stogie Pods.
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:46.160
What's up, y'all?
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.400
It's August 14th, 2026.
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:49.839
And we're back.
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:51.680
We're talking about sports right now, man.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.160
We got some sports news from the Sixers and the Eagles.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:56.400
Stogy, what we got about the Sixers this weekend.
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.200
So, uh, as far as Sixers go, yeah, they We're hitting just the under two-month mark, ma'am.
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.160
Two months to go before we tip off against the Knicks.
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.279
So, yep, that's great.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.319
October 20th.
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:08.720
That's right.
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:11.359
We tip off versus the Knicks.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.440
The NBA D 26 champions.
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:16.079
Yes.
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:17.599
Finals chance.
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:22.319
Um, there's talks that uh people don't think they'll make a back-to-back.
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:22.720
Hey.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.839
They have a really good team.
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:24.559
I'm not knocking them.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.799
Listen, man, listen, but never say never.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.480
How are the Knicks gonna react to the new foreign 76ers?
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.559
We are brand, brand, brand, brand new.
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.039
We are coming different.
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:38.720
Um pause.
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:39.839
Pause.
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:40.720
Big pause?
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.319
Big fucking pause, bro.
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:43.039
Yeah.
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.119
He didn't have to make it that way, though.
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:46.000
You know what I mean?
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:47.920
Listen, it's alright.
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:49.599
Jordy got a dirty mind, guys.
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:50.480
I definitely do.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.440
Go Sixers.
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.519
Tell them, guys, get out the gutter.
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.480
It's alright.
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.720
Go 76ers, guys, because you know what?
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.480
Even our Christmas game, we get the verse Lakers.
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.359
Hey, you know what's going on?
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:06.000
LeBron's former team, and he gets to go up against his son for the first time.
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.000
Not that there will be Garden up against but father versus son.
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.000
I don't think that's ever happened.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.119
I don't think it's ever happened, so that'll be uh history as well.
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:15.680
Wow.
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.960
Um there goes LeBron again, guys, making history.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.839
He's not even trying, but there but he's making history.
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:22.720
This fucking guy.
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:34.000
Anyways, uh we had a little insight on uh Mike, the president from the 70 Sixers, and uh he shared optimistic thoughts about uh their upcoming lineup for the Sixers.
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.880
Mike stated that the vibes are really high and that everyone's excited.
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:44.079
Um, and even Nick, that Nick is like a kid in a candy shop right now.
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.279
That's how excited he is.
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.799
He also shared a little bit of insight with us too about Jabel Embiid.
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.119
Right.
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:57.279
He said that he is uh as healthy as he ever been, that he's ever been in the last few years.
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.440
Yeah, he is very active.
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.160
I can't lie.
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.319
LeBron probably definitely gave him some medicine.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:04.880
The LeBron effect, guys.
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.119
Sharing all the recipes, you know.
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.640
So as far as the 76ers go, everybody is excited.
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.920
They're saying that he's in the best shape he's ever been.
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:20.079
So let's see how this season goes and pray that he stays in shape.
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.119
Uh Jordy, let's talk about the Eagles.
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.680
E A G L E S Eagles!
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:39.359
Yes, speaking of our Philadelphia Eagles, man, this week, where Eagles stand out right tackle Lane Johnson announced that this will likely be his last NFL season, which is very, very upsetting.
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.599
But you gotta realize the man's getting up there.
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.519
He's been with the team, I'm thinking it's been 13 to 14 years now, and the man's 36.
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.839
He wants to spend time with his family.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.839
That's 100% understandable.
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:57.119
Lane, we thank you, and we wish you the best of luck for this season, and please get us another ring, my bro.
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:02.720
Saturday night at 7 p.m., we will be facing the Baltimore Ravens for our first preseason game.
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.279
Yes, so it's preseason people.
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:09.279
You know it don't matter, but we get to see who's gonna make the team and who's not.
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.880
Probably not gonna see starters as much in the preseason.
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:24.240
I'm not mad about that, because I want them to be healthy for the regular season, because we got plenty of good games to talk about, and we'll talk about more of those in the upcoming episodes of the pod.
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:28.480
But I wanted to speak about one game in certain actually two games.
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:33.759
We have Dallas on Thanksgiving, which is crazy.
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.039
Fuck the Cowboys.
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.519
You already know.
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.160
Go Birds.
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:39.279
Fuck the Cowgirls, go birds, deck team I ass.
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:44.480
And then we have a Christmas Eve game, which I believe is against the Texans.
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:47.680
If I'm wrong, I will update y'all with who we're playing.
00:25:47.920 --> 00:26:06.240
But for Philly, we have a Christmas Eve game, Eagles, then we got the Sixers on Christmas Day against the Lakers, and it's a very good thing to be a Philly fan this year with everything happened over in the summer with the Phillies, and then we had the World Cup here, and we had the MLB All-Star game here.
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:10.000
Now we have football season coming up, basketball season, and the Flyers.
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.400
I just want to bow our heads.
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.839
Uh last night we had gotten news that uh Pretridge Collin had passed away.
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.240
Yeah.
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:27.440
And um he he he he passed away from that uh severe injury that he suffered from uh 11 years ago when he fought Tyrell Williams.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.160
Oh man.
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.119
And um it just it caught up to him.
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:36.559
Uh prayers out to his family and friends, you know, condolence to you guys.
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.000
Go, Philly, keep listening for more sports updates.
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.200
And yes, this is Stodypods, Droid 205N.
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:44.640
And STO Swerve.
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.960
We're gonna talk to you guys about some stoner thoughts and the weekly responses we had from last week.
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:49.519
Yes.
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:55.440
It was if dreams are only real while you're dreaming them, who's to say this life isn't someone else's dream?
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:55.920
Right.
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.599
Taylor said, shout out to Taylor, man.
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.599
Is deeper than what what I said, lol.
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.400
It's as if you're saying nothing's real.
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:12.079
If nothing's real, then there's no risk in life, and why isn't everyone the best version of themselves then?
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.839
Well you start off, you're right there, huh?
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.920
Hell, some people live nightmares at that point then.
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.000
I think life is real.
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:27.200
Just that the level of control we believe we have is not as real as we perceived.
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.079
Wow.
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.160
You know, I have deep as fuck.
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:30.880
Yeah.
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.359
Shout out to Taylor, bro, my dog.
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.559
I love that response.
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.039
That was great.
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:35.759
Yeah, man.
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:41.759
Especially when he said just that level of control we believe we have is not as real as perceived.
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:43.519
That was on some deep shit.
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:44.079
Yeah.
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:49.759
Alright, the second response that we chose this week was from my homeboy Habanero.
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:58.319
And his response back to this was that this life certainly could be someone's dream.
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.920
Or just a nasty deja vu event.
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.240
Yep, that's right.
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:14.559
Which it really could, or if you think about it, when you have dreams in deja vu, you're seeing shit that you feel like when you wake up, you feel like you live that.
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:26.319
Well, some people even claim and say that some of the stuff that they see in their dreams, like symbols or you know, something like that, yeah, they wind up seeing that eventually within that week.
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:33.279
And this is why people would believe that dreams are connected to something more than just what dreams are.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.519
Yeah, that's deep as fuck.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:42.720
And our last one that we had was from Ethiopia, and she said, Oh, so we're in a state of realistic dreaming then.
00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:45.039
I mean, some people are.
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:47.680
I mean, some people may not be.
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:52.960
Some people have nightmares every night, like me, and I'm terrified, but sometimes you guys gotta deal with it and suck it up, not be a bitch.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:54.079
Oh, that part.
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:55.039
That part?
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.000
Yeah.
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.920
But yeah, man, it's it's deep, man.
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.720
But the good thing about it is next this week's response is a lot more simpler for you guys.
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:06.240
Oh yeah, summer spread easier.
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:09.039
So, yes, these guys will understand it more.
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.039
We're not on some mind fuckery shit.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.680
Right, yeah.
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:13.039
Sorry about that, guys.
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:14.160
Say this for me.
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:15.599
Like, what's the thought for this week?
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:25.440
Alright, so for y'all weekly response for this week will be if you could smoke with any person, dead or alive, who would it be?
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:27.680
And what would you ask them to?
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.599
Damn, that's a really good question.
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.279
I have so many people all the time.
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.319
I feel like we could.
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.720
Yeah.
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:39.119
I mean, right off the bat, I I know I want to smoke with Liz Khalifa.
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.519
Smoke with any persons, or you know what?
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.160
Any people.
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:42.720
Anybody.
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.200
You can make it a matter who it is.
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.119
Friend, you could be a family member.
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:48.480
Give us a little story behind that.
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:50.079
Why you want to smoke with them.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.160
On that note, man, make sure y'all keep on listening in the Stody Pods.
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:57.119
This was episode two.
00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.720
Consistency is key.
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:00.240
Make sure y'all stay consistent.
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.440
Make sure y'all keep on doing y'all thing and believing y'all selves.
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.160
Until next week, tune back in.
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.480
Much love and stay safe.
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.160
Enjoy the rest of y'all day, guys.
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.920
Get bagged like Christmas cake.
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:13.200
Yeah, buddy.
