00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.506
So when's the last time that you like actually were outside, like spent time outside?

00:00:07.371 --> 00:00:07.991
Like yesterday.

00:00:07.991 --> 00:00:09.595
Oh shit, what am I saying?

00:00:09.595 --> 00:00:14.768
It wasn't yesterday, it was like the day before, it was before this, because obviously it snowed yesterday again.

00:00:14.887 --> 00:00:15.349
Yeah, I know.

00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.144
You know, but the other day it was so nice.

00:00:18.588 --> 00:00:18.929
It was.

00:00:18.929 --> 00:00:22.047
It was so nice that I actually put away the winter things.

00:00:22.047 --> 00:00:29.042
Me too that I actually put away the winter things.

00:00:29.042 --> 00:00:29.824
Yeah, me too.

00:00:29.824 --> 00:00:32.027
And then I realized, when I woke up the next morning and it was snowing.

00:00:32.027 --> 00:00:33.170
I was like well, shit, yeah.

00:00:33.170 --> 00:00:36.185
So let's start off with our weekly what if yes.

00:00:36.185 --> 00:00:37.228
Are you ready for this one?

00:00:37.329 --> 00:00:37.731
I'm ready.

00:00:37.871 --> 00:00:38.975
Okay, you go first.

00:00:38.975 --> 00:00:50.350
So the question is what if you had to spend a full week completely offline living in nature, but there's like no phone, no tech, just the outdoors?

00:00:50.350 --> 00:00:53.048
Would you thrive?

00:00:53.048 --> 00:00:54.384
Would you just survive?

00:00:54.384 --> 00:00:55.045
Like what?

00:00:55.045 --> 00:00:56.250
How would you feel?

00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:58.585
I think I would feel pretty good.

00:00:59.027 --> 00:00:59.287
Yeah.

00:00:59.969 --> 00:01:07.174
Yeah, there's something about wanting to disconnect Like this is under the impression I don't have to think about my business or anything.

00:01:07.174 --> 00:01:08.879
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah, fuck all that shit.

00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:15.667
Or even like just like a week and like a week off, kind of thing, right, yeah, yeah, I would thrive.

00:01:15.667 --> 00:01:17.792
I would thrive you, you would thrive, no.

00:01:20.801 --> 00:01:21.621
So here's the thing.

00:01:21.621 --> 00:01:26.772
Outdoors only, ooh, there's like lots of bugs.

00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:28.746
Well, I mean you have a tent and stuff.

00:01:28.746 --> 00:01:32.066
Okay, yeah, like.

00:01:32.906 --> 00:01:35.552
I like the concept of outdoors Okay.

00:01:39.061 --> 00:01:39.843
There's people who love it.

00:01:39.843 --> 00:01:42.391
There's probably people who, no, like it's not happening.

00:01:42.391 --> 00:01:43.742
Yeah, probably people who know.

00:01:43.742 --> 00:02:04.905
Like it's not happening, yeah, the one kind of outdoorsy thing that I can't do that people do just because we're on the topic is, like you know, the antarctic outdoorsy people, the ones who will have the pitch, the tent on a mountain with like minus 40 and stuff like okay, yeah, that's extreme like that's like, like those I don't know how those guys do it because of the weather yeah, it's the.

00:02:04.905 --> 00:02:06.087
It's because of the cold.

00:02:06.147 --> 00:02:07.391
Okay, I totally agree with that.

00:02:07.391 --> 00:02:10.288
Anything with the cold I'm like no, no Indoors for me.

00:02:10.288 --> 00:02:18.848
But here's the thing I want to clarify that the weekly would have questions said like outdoors, right, and would I thrive in that.

00:02:18.848 --> 00:02:31.609
Everything else about it, like the no tech, the just relaxing, disconnecting, I'm there for it If it was like a glamping experience where it's not necessarily like.

00:02:31.609 --> 00:02:34.993
Maybe you're in a cabin in the woods somewhere.

00:02:35.294 --> 00:02:35.615
Okay.

00:02:36.341 --> 00:02:37.364
That I would be like.

00:02:37.364 --> 00:02:38.788
Yes, sign me up.

00:02:38.788 --> 00:02:46.432
But the pitching of the tent and the fucking cooking hot dogs on tree branches and shit, Not for me.

00:02:46.993 --> 00:02:47.373
Not for me.

00:02:47.373 --> 00:02:50.506
Oh, you can take a harpoon and try to catch a fish.

00:02:50.506 --> 00:02:54.924
Yeah, no, oh my God.

00:02:56.329 --> 00:02:56.610
Okay.

00:02:56.610 --> 00:03:00.509
So, josh, let's talk a little bit about some of this outdoorsy stuff.

00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:07.549
Okay, I want to figure out where we stand with this.

00:03:07.549 --> 00:03:11.644
Now that the weather is coming up, maybe we might plan something this summer.

00:03:11.644 --> 00:03:12.085
Who knows?

00:03:12.085 --> 00:03:13.830
Oh yeah, all of us.

00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:14.752
Maybe, who knows?

00:03:14.752 --> 00:03:15.822
Let's do it, so let's see.

00:03:16.364 --> 00:03:17.828
Okay, so how about I go first here?

00:03:17.828 --> 00:03:19.110
I'll ask you a question.

00:03:19.110 --> 00:03:31.515
Okay, If you could only spend time in one outdoor environment like mountains, beach, forest, desert for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?

00:03:33.700 --> 00:03:34.605
Beach hands down.

00:03:36.681 --> 00:03:37.365
Yeah, I mean.

00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:40.700
Just warmer weather, the sound of the waves.

00:03:40.700 --> 00:03:41.181
Are you a big swimmer?

00:03:41.181 --> 00:03:43.205
Fuck, no, I don't know how to swim actually, so I'd have to bring James who's lifeguard status.

00:03:43.224 --> 00:03:43.645
Wait, what do you mean?

00:03:43.665 --> 00:03:44.667
you don't know how to swim, the sound of the waves?

00:03:44.667 --> 00:03:45.127
Are you a big swimmer?

00:03:45.127 --> 00:03:47.731
Fuck, no, I don't know how to swim actually, so I'd have to bring James, who's lifeguard?

00:03:47.752 --> 00:03:47.891
status.

00:03:47.891 --> 00:03:48.393
Wait, what do you mean?

00:03:48.393 --> 00:03:49.174
You don't know how to swim.

00:03:49.174 --> 00:03:50.877
I've been telling everyone you know how to swim.

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:52.320
Why?

00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:54.729
When does that come up in your conversations?

00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:57.181
It's a stupid analogy I use with dog training.

00:03:57.181 --> 00:03:58.582
I'm serious.

00:03:58.902 --> 00:03:59.663
Are you serious?

00:03:59.663 --> 00:04:07.991
Yeah, even though, even though Well like I mean I can stay afloat, but if I was ever in like a breaststroke competition, I'd fucking lose.

00:04:07.991 --> 00:04:09.492
You know what I mean?

00:04:09.532 --> 00:04:11.653
Okay, so you can float, I can float.

00:04:11.653 --> 00:04:13.855
I can do the dog paddle, I can like, I can't float.

00:04:14.597 --> 00:04:16.218
Oh, so you really can't swim.

00:04:16.257 --> 00:04:17.019
No, no, no, no, no.

00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:38.348
Like, if I'm in the water it's kind of because, yeah, um one time, because the kids are like fish, right, they were swimming so far out on the beach and like the waves and everything, and like I felt so helpless, you know way, you know and, and I was just yelling at them, you know I was like, get your over here.

00:04:38.629 --> 00:04:44.324
You know like, and you know I'm just standing there right like like, uh, oh man, I can't, can't.

00:04:44.324 --> 00:04:56.665
The only time that I'm assuming, I hope that I would, just, I don't give a shit kind of behavior is if, like, my kid fell off a boat or something Like, I'm pretty sure I would jump right in.

00:04:56.665 --> 00:04:59.848
You know Like I feel, like I would.

00:04:59.848 --> 00:05:08.425
I hope my instinct would you know, yeah, yeah and shit, I hope I save him and not just drown with him.

00:05:08.425 --> 00:05:14.767
I think it's something I need to really kind of do, especially if I'm going to be going on vacations, let's say.

00:05:14.767 --> 00:05:18.685
Or you know like I need to get over this, yeah, I need to float.

00:05:19.255 --> 00:05:20.920
But you say, get over this.

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.461
But it's not a fear of water, it's just you just don't know how to swim.

00:05:24.675 --> 00:05:26.281
Yeah, but that makes it fearful for me.

00:05:26.281 --> 00:05:37.894
Oh, okay, okay, so it's turned into a fear well, if you threw, if you were like josh, we're gonna throw you into the water no, okay at the deepest point, I'd be like uh well, what do you mean?

00:05:37.894 --> 00:05:40.720
I'm gonna die, yeah I get it.

00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:45.829
I get it actually, like the, even just in pools on the deep end.

00:05:45.829 --> 00:05:51.475
Oh, there's this, this thing in your throat where you're just the only way it's a little safe.

00:05:51.475 --> 00:05:53.903
My feet need to touch the bottom, you know.

00:05:54.055 --> 00:06:05.944
The only way I can do it is if I'm holding on and then I push off and I swim as shitty as it looks, and then I get to the other side and then I hold on.

00:06:06.184 --> 00:06:06.384
Yeah.

00:06:06.735 --> 00:06:08.802
That's the only way I'm going to be able to do it.

00:06:08.802 --> 00:06:10.605
Yeah, that's the only way I'm going to be able to do it.

00:06:10.605 --> 00:06:23.446
Yeah, I remember so many missed opportunities when I was young because I couldn't swim and I wouldn't tell whoever like, hey, we're going to go to the water slides, and I'd be like, oh, that's cool.

00:06:23.446 --> 00:06:24.574
And it's like, why don't you come?

00:06:24.574 --> 00:06:27.978
Like no, no, thanks, I don't like water slides, but you know.

00:06:27.978 --> 00:06:30.579
But the reality was that I would.

00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:36.543
I think it would be so much fun, but I would have this fear of some of the water slides.

00:06:36.543 --> 00:06:43.168
Some of the water, when you hit the end is deep, and so I would be like, no, I'm not taking that risk.

00:06:43.829 --> 00:06:44.970
That's a FOMO moment.

00:06:46.031 --> 00:06:46.670
Yeah, I guess.

00:06:46.670 --> 00:06:51.016
So yeah, actually it is Now I could really give a shit.

00:06:51.016 --> 00:06:56.228
But yes, you're right, when I was a kid, like, I remember those missed opportunities, so I don't want them to have that.

00:06:56.634 --> 00:07:00.786
What's the most outdoorsy thing you've ever done, and did you actually enjoy it?

00:07:02.694 --> 00:07:05.841
Probably the most outdoorsy thing I've done, probably the Spartan races.

00:07:05.841 --> 00:07:08.668
You know I did a lot of them.

00:07:09.136 --> 00:07:09.458
Okay.

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.946
I did a lot of them so I'd say that that's probably uh, it was kind of part of my whole vegan vibe, you know.

00:07:16.988 --> 00:07:17.589
And did you enjoy?

00:07:17.589 --> 00:07:17.750
It?

00:07:18.372 --> 00:07:19.975
Fuck, no, no, I'm kidding.

00:07:19.975 --> 00:07:23.305
I mean, you know, you, you love and hate it.

00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:23.987
Yeah.

00:07:24.326 --> 00:07:25.951
Yeah, it's, it's 30 burpees.

00:07:25.951 --> 00:07:41.309
Every obstacle failed, right, and uh, you're going up a mountain, right, basically, while doing obstacles and climbing rope and 10 foot walls and all sorts of shit, but.

00:07:41.309 --> 00:07:45.725
But oh man, there's nothing like that feeling when you finish.

00:07:46.024 --> 00:07:46.225
Yeah.

00:07:46.406 --> 00:07:49.379
Especially that meal, the meal afterwards.

00:07:49.379 --> 00:07:53.242
Whatever you're're eating, whether it's pizza or whatever, oh man, it just it's.

00:07:53.242 --> 00:07:58.380
Uh, it hits different that's good, so I'd say that that's probably like a big one.

00:07:58.380 --> 00:08:02.456
Yeah, that's probably the biggest thing I've done I did because I've never done any camping.

00:08:02.456 --> 00:08:05.680
No, no, have you yeah have you really?

00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:10.269
Yeah, shit, I, I can, and it wasn't glamping, what do you mean?

00:08:13.596 --> 00:08:14.535
It was like a legit camping experience.

00:08:15.274 --> 00:08:16.233
We'll get into it Like shit in a bush.

00:08:16.636 --> 00:08:20.380
Oh, like you have no idea, you have no fucking idea.

00:08:20.380 --> 00:08:21.124
It was disgusting.

00:08:21.124 --> 00:08:22.600
I would never do it again.

00:08:23.255 --> 00:08:24.600
Oh my gosh yeah.

00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.103
What about you?

00:08:27.995 --> 00:08:30.321
Well, you know what To piggyback off of your spartan race?

00:08:30.321 --> 00:08:34.456
I did the mud girl race oh, did you years ago.

00:08:34.456 --> 00:08:38.174
Yeah, I never knew that two, two or three years ago with uh where the hell's the pictures?

00:08:38.174 --> 00:08:40.780
They're on my insta oh, are they?

00:08:40.821 --> 00:08:43.888
yeah, oh shit, are we following each other?

00:08:46.880 --> 00:09:09.140
okay, that just goes to show you how not on social media you are right very often, um, but yeah, like, and it was, I was terrified, wasn't sure what to expect, but you did it but I did it and got your metal felt fucking good yeah fuck, yeah, man, good job, good job it was it was really awesome actually doesn't it feel empowering it?

00:09:09.181 --> 00:09:10.485
It does, it does.

00:09:10.485 --> 00:09:12.361
That's why I got addicted to it.

00:09:12.361 --> 00:09:21.822
You know, I did the 5K, I did the 10K, I was supposed to do the Beast and then I fell off, which is like 21K.

00:09:21.822 --> 00:09:24.841
It's like a half marathon.

00:09:24.841 --> 00:09:29.485
Oh, wow, yeah, it's like how many obstacles, my God.

00:09:29.485 --> 00:09:29.886
I don't know.

00:09:29.886 --> 00:09:34.767
Do you think humans are built for survival or have we lost our instincts?

00:09:37.096 --> 00:09:37.799
I think both.

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.942
Actually I think we are built for survival.

00:09:39.942 --> 00:09:48.525
Clearly we came from cavemen right, but over the centuries we've lost our instincts.

00:09:49.215 --> 00:09:50.480
Yeah, because we're comfortable now.

00:09:50.922 --> 00:10:01.602
Yeah, I kind of have to say those survivalists that live out in the woods, what's the word off the grid?

00:10:02.105 --> 00:10:02.304
Yeah.

00:10:04.135 --> 00:10:06.201
I have a deep admiration for that.

00:10:06.201 --> 00:10:10.913
Well, yeah, I really do, I wouldn't do it but I have deep admiration for it.

00:10:10.933 --> 00:10:15.402
I mean, it's a whole skill set.

00:10:15.883 --> 00:10:16.624
It's unbelievable.

00:10:16.624 --> 00:10:29.078
But think of the strength, speaking of empowerment, the strength and empowerment that one would have by having these skills and knowing that, no matter where you were you could survive it.

00:10:29.078 --> 00:10:36.850
So if you had to live in the wild for a year but could bring three modern conveniences, what would they be?

00:10:38.056 --> 00:10:42.005
Okay, I'd probably bring an oven.

00:10:42.005 --> 00:10:48.662
Oh well, no, I could make fires and all that stuff you could.

00:10:48.662 --> 00:10:49.764
How would you keep your stuff cold, though I'd make?

00:10:49.783 --> 00:10:50.745
fires and all that stuff you could.

00:10:50.745 --> 00:10:52.850
How would you keep your stuff cold, though I'd bring a fridge?

00:10:54.573 --> 00:10:56.701
What stuff Like you're not going to have ketchup and mayo.

00:10:56.701 --> 00:10:58.779
Oh, that's true.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.543
Or milk.

00:11:00.336 --> 00:11:01.280
Where are you going to get milk?

00:11:01.294 --> 00:11:02.760
You're going to be milking a fucking cow.

00:11:03.554 --> 00:11:05.503
You're going to find a cow in the wild.

00:11:07.096 --> 00:11:07.976
I don't know.

00:11:07.976 --> 00:11:09.438
I don't know.

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.203
You think cows are just walking in the wild?

00:11:13.166 --> 00:11:15.349
Well then, how the fuck are you going to survive for a year?

00:11:20.605 --> 00:11:22.715
Definitely not by drinking milk.

00:11:22.715 --> 00:11:26.525
Oh shit, I don't know, man, I don't know, this is hard.

00:11:26.525 --> 00:11:30.488
Three conveniences, I mean, I guess, I guess.

00:11:30.488 --> 00:11:36.991
Oh, like I'd bring like one of those insane like archer bow things, like the new ones.

00:11:37.932 --> 00:11:38.312
Okay.

00:11:38.375 --> 00:11:42.024
Like Daryl, you know, like from fucking Walking Dead.

00:11:42.024 --> 00:11:43.707
Okay, this bow and arrow thing there.

00:11:43.707 --> 00:11:48.167
I'd bring one of those crossbow things so that, like I could just kill the animals, you know, and stuff.

00:11:48.167 --> 00:12:12.856
Okay, fine, crossbow phone, maybe gps, like okay, I've been here, you know, just oh, some kind of water recycling thing where I can just place it in like the rain and then I get fresh water.

00:12:12.856 --> 00:12:18.693
Look at you, damn huh, smart guy survivalist in making.

00:12:18.774 --> 00:12:20.577
I would survive, no matter what.

00:12:20.577 --> 00:12:23.994
All right.

00:12:23.994 --> 00:12:31.436
How about if a reality show like Survivor forced you to live outside for a month?

00:12:31.436 --> 00:12:39.664
How would you actually do One whole month outside, 30 days, no shelter?

00:12:40.427 --> 00:12:49.116
I think you would find me under a tree begging for mommy.

00:12:51.966 --> 00:12:54.514
Did you have like the little soccer ball with the painted face?

00:12:54.533 --> 00:13:07.270
Yeah, wilson, oh fuck, no, I I'd like to think that I would do what I needed to do.

00:13:07.270 --> 00:13:19.458
I don't think it would be a fun experience and I don't think I would ever want to do it again and I think I would walk away with some form of trauma.

00:13:19.458 --> 00:13:22.461
But I think I could do it.

00:13:22.941 --> 00:13:25.342
Cool, I mean just the fact that you think you could do it.

00:13:25.383 --> 00:13:31.524
I mean that's huge Right.

00:13:31.524 --> 00:13:32.746
Yeah, you know what it's not, but you know what it is.

00:13:32.746 --> 00:13:36.690
It's not about living out in the in the wilderness for a month, it's about the food supply.

00:13:36.690 --> 00:13:48.942
The idea of eating a bug or skinning a snake, that kind of shit just uber creeps me out.

00:13:48.942 --> 00:13:56.018
So that is what I have the most problems with, but anyway, okay.

00:13:56.018 --> 00:13:58.812
So, josh, now we're going to move on to hot takes.

00:13:58.812 --> 00:14:02.572
Let's do it Okay, so let me start us off this time.

00:14:02.572 --> 00:14:07.154
Nature is great until you remember bugs exist.

00:14:11.212 --> 00:14:11.825
Oh my gosh.

00:14:11.865 --> 00:14:12.929
Yes, yes indeed.

00:14:14.605 --> 00:14:17.812
Bees are cool, but wasps are just nature's gangsters.

00:14:20.277 --> 00:14:21.119
That's true.

00:14:21.119 --> 00:14:22.711
Have you ever been stung by a wasp?

00:14:22.711 --> 00:14:26.149
That shit's not fun.

00:14:26.149 --> 00:14:30.331
No, hiking is just walking with extra effort.

00:14:30.331 --> 00:14:32.576
That's true.

00:14:32.576 --> 00:14:33.118
That's true.

00:14:34.005 --> 00:14:39.018
You are not really one with nature if you bring a Bluetooth speaker.

00:14:41.145 --> 00:14:42.712
What does it take to be one with nature?

00:14:43.525 --> 00:14:45.248
I mean, I think, Does that mean you?

00:14:45.248 --> 00:14:46.311
Have to go all in.

00:14:46.311 --> 00:14:46.451
Yeah.

00:14:48.005 --> 00:14:57.592
So you can't be sitting outside with your cup of coffee, listening to some soft music and enjoying the environment?

00:14:57.592 --> 00:14:58.450
That's not being one with nature.

00:14:58.450 --> 00:14:58.812
No, apparently not.

00:14:58.831 --> 00:14:59.576
Okay, you have to hear the birds chirp.

00:14:59.576 --> 00:14:59.778
That's it.

00:14:59.778 --> 00:15:00.904
That's not being one with nature, no, apparently not Okay.

00:15:00.904 --> 00:15:02.490
You have to hear the birds chirp.

00:15:02.490 --> 00:15:03.774
That's it, that's all.

00:15:05.625 --> 00:15:07.714
Okay, this one is for you, Josh.

00:15:07.714 --> 00:15:10.994
The ocean is terrifying and we should all respect it more.

00:15:11.434 --> 00:15:11.755
Mm-hmm.

00:15:11.755 --> 00:15:18.615
Yeah, yeah, people who live off the grid actually just live on a smaller grid.

00:15:18.615 --> 00:15:22.943
Yeah, okay, okay, the grid actually just live on a smaller grid.

00:15:22.964 --> 00:15:23.445
Yeah, okay, okay.

00:15:23.445 --> 00:15:28.354
National parks are cool until you realize they have no self-service.

00:15:28.735 --> 00:15:31.850
Yeah, oh my gosh.

00:15:31.850 --> 00:15:37.254
The worst part of camping the moment you have to get out of your sleeping bag.

00:15:37.595 --> 00:15:40.732
Oh yes, all right, so now it's the this or that.

00:15:40.732 --> 00:15:41.664
Oh yes, all right, so now it's the this or that.

00:15:42.265 --> 00:15:43.068
This or that.

00:15:43.068 --> 00:15:44.052
Yes, all right.

00:15:44.565 --> 00:15:49.033
So quick, yes or no, pick whichever one you want, you ready.

00:15:51.404 --> 00:15:58.856
You ready, yeah Go for it Surviving in the wilderness for a week or being locked in a haunted house for a week?

00:16:00.605 --> 00:16:02.009
I'll definitely take the outdoors.

00:16:02.009 --> 00:16:07.148
Absolutely, I can't even look at a haunted house.

00:16:08.811 --> 00:16:12.716
What about you, what would you pick?

00:16:12.716 --> 00:16:13.639
Probably the wilderness.

00:16:13.859 --> 00:16:14.119
Yeah.

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:14.539
Yeah.

00:16:16.086 --> 00:16:17.414
But there's no scenario.

00:16:17.414 --> 00:16:21.089
Like neither one of those scenarios, I'm walking away without being traumatized.

00:16:21.529 --> 00:16:22.351
Yeah or dead.

00:16:22.712 --> 00:16:23.033
Or dead.

00:16:23.975 --> 00:16:25.197
Right, yeah, okay.

00:16:26.125 --> 00:16:29.072
Sunrise hike or a midnight campfire.

00:16:30.616 --> 00:16:33.519
Ooh, I think I would go with the midnight campfire.

00:16:34.124 --> 00:16:35.730
Really you going to bed at eight o'clock?

00:16:35.730 --> 00:16:37.591
You're going to do the midnight campfire.

00:16:37.871 --> 00:16:38.173
Yeah.

00:16:39.745 --> 00:16:41.613
I would have thought you'd pick the sunrise hike.

00:16:41.613 --> 00:16:43.408
I'm already up anyway.

00:16:43.428 --> 00:16:48.447
The sunrise hike sounds nice, but there's something about like being around a fire that's nice.

00:16:48.508 --> 00:16:50.772
Okay, okay, understood, understood.

00:16:50.812 --> 00:17:00.657
But I just realized the, the, the midnight part of that like you know, maybe like an eight o'clock eight o'clock at night fire yeah.

00:17:00.716 --> 00:17:02.870
Would be better For 15 minutes, and then it's bedtime.

00:17:02.971 --> 00:17:09.011
Yeah, exactly, would you rather be rained on or snowed on while camping?

00:17:10.734 --> 00:17:11.035
Snowed.

00:17:12.817 --> 00:17:13.198
Really.

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:14.160
Yeah.

00:17:14.705 --> 00:17:16.711
So that means it's going to be freezing.

00:17:17.394 --> 00:17:20.589
Yeah, I just realized that, as I was as you said really.

00:17:20.589 --> 00:17:21.611
And then I was like oh yeah, it freezing.

00:17:21.611 --> 00:17:25.678
Yeah, I just realized that, as I was as you said really, and then I was like oh yeah it's the cold.

00:17:25.678 --> 00:17:32.151
I hate the cold, raining then Okay, yeah, okay, living in a tree house or living in a cave.

00:17:32.171 --> 00:17:33.292
Ooh, tree house sounds cool.

00:17:33.452 --> 00:17:33.773
Yeah.

00:17:33.933 --> 00:17:36.118
Yeah, I would do tree house yeah.

00:17:36.565 --> 00:17:38.469
Yeah, I also feel like a cave.

00:17:38.469 --> 00:17:44.249
You're kind of like, you know, like a back against the wall, kind of feeling Like where do you go from there?

00:17:44.670 --> 00:17:47.176
Yeah, it's true, you know it's true.

00:17:47.176 --> 00:17:51.974
Cooking over a fire or eating cold food for a week.

00:17:53.645 --> 00:17:54.689
Cooking over a fire.

00:17:54.689 --> 00:17:55.973
Oh, come on.

00:17:55.973 --> 00:18:00.955
I'm not that ridiculous eating cold food for a week.

00:18:00.955 --> 00:18:10.307
Have you ever tried cold fucking beans, canned beans, cold oh, that shit's disgusting, it's disgusting as is.

00:18:10.567 --> 00:18:12.205
It's like such a camping thing, you know.

00:18:12.326 --> 00:18:13.752
It is and it's disgusting.

00:18:13.884 --> 00:18:15.027
Just open the can.

00:18:15.027 --> 00:18:17.549
Oh, it's so gross.

00:18:21.795 --> 00:18:32.349
This is a good one for us pale skin people oh boy no sunscreen or no bug spray no bug spray yeah I can't go without sunscreen.

00:18:32.451 --> 00:18:40.270
No, I mean, um, I think, uh, I've, I've learned my lesson over the years, because I was always very stubborn about suntan, same.

00:18:41.213 --> 00:18:45.948
But um, no, now I'm like no I don't want to come back as a leathered person.

00:18:46.468 --> 00:18:51.573
Yeah, no fishing for food or for sport.

00:18:54.695 --> 00:18:55.636
It's got to be for food.

00:18:55.636 --> 00:18:57.598
What other fucking point is there to fish?

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:59.320
People fish for sport.

00:18:59.861 --> 00:19:00.221
Yeah, I know.

00:19:04.009 --> 00:19:05.112
It's right up there with golf.

00:19:05.112 --> 00:19:06.275
It's up there with golf.

00:19:06.275 --> 00:19:06.976
Oh my God.

00:19:06.976 --> 00:19:16.775
Okay, no shoes or no jacket in the wild no shoes or no jacket.

00:19:16.775 --> 00:19:18.480
In the wild no shoes or no jacket.

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.470
I'm gonna have to say no jacket.

00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:24.933
I guess it's still bad.

00:19:24.933 --> 00:19:29.346
But still bad but you know, because I could still technically have a ton of sweaters.

00:19:29.867 --> 00:19:34.818
You said nothing about sweaters with that suitcase that you're carrying in the wild?

00:19:34.818 --> 00:19:39.173
No, but like, imagine having no shoes.

00:19:39.173 --> 00:19:44.894
Because, at a certain point you wouldn't be able to walk anymore because your feet would be all fucking cut up and raw and shit.

00:19:44.894 --> 00:19:46.130
And then what are you doing?

00:19:46.525 --> 00:19:52.364
Yeah well, you'd have to wrap it with, like some shirt, rags or something you know, or leaves, big palm tree leaves.

00:19:52.404 --> 00:19:54.092
What if you had to wrap it with a jacket?

00:19:54.092 --> 00:19:56.893
You had, then you've got no shoes and no fucking jacket.

00:19:58.846 --> 00:19:59.606
Oh, my God.

00:20:01.289 --> 00:20:05.997
Come on, all right, that was fun.

00:20:06.317 --> 00:20:07.819
That was, that was good.

00:20:08.665 --> 00:20:08.946
Okay.

00:20:08.946 --> 00:20:18.778
So final question, josh If you could make one outdoor activity mandatory for every human being to do at least once a month, what would it be?

00:20:19.905 --> 00:20:21.933
I think it would even just be as simple as a walk.

00:20:21.933 --> 00:20:29.855
I think if everyone did more walking, I think there'd be a lot healthier people out there.

00:20:30.237 --> 00:20:30.597
Yeah.

00:20:30.597 --> 00:20:54.336
You know, yeah, but not just healthier physically, I think mentally too like well, that's what I mean oh, okay, it's a scientific fact that listening to birds chirp for 10 seconds, 10 seconds a day automatically like um increases.

00:20:54.336 --> 00:20:55.538
Uh, what's the hormone?

00:20:55.538 --> 00:21:02.795
Yeah, and and and um serotonin serotonin and like allows you to be happier and more carefree.

00:21:02.795 --> 00:21:04.438
10 fucking seconds.

00:21:04.664 --> 00:21:05.006
Shit.

00:21:06.710 --> 00:21:09.015
It's unbelievable Just to listen to birds chirp.

00:21:09.015 --> 00:21:10.865
I think that would be my, my pick.

00:21:10.865 --> 00:21:15.411
Yeah Well, 10 seconds, go outside and just listen, for some birds, I think that would be my pick For 10 seconds.

00:21:15.431 --> 00:21:16.653
go outside and just listen for some birds.

00:21:16.673 --> 00:21:18.935
Yeah, well, I mean you hear them all the time, but you don't listen you don't listen.

00:21:18.976 --> 00:21:20.397
Yeah, exactly that's what I'm saying.

00:21:20.397 --> 00:21:21.740
Yeah, that's cool, yeah.

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:22.980
Pretty cool.

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:29.588
I was like 46 years old when I learned that fact.

00:21:30.069 --> 00:21:30.690
Oh shit.

00:21:31.750 --> 00:21:32.310
All right, guys.

00:21:32.310 --> 00:21:39.977
So we're going to challenge every one of you to step outside, even just for five minutes, whether it's a walk or listening to birds chirp.

00:21:40.457 --> 00:21:41.017
That's it.

00:21:41.357 --> 00:21:42.117
You got to do it.

00:21:42.117 --> 00:21:43.459
It's good for your mental health.

00:21:43.459 --> 00:21:52.988
So next time we're going to dive into regrets Nice, yeah, some of the mistakes that we've made and regrets that we live with.

00:21:53.127 --> 00:21:54.009
Oh, I can't wait for that.

00:21:54.028 --> 00:21:58.012
So, yeah, you guys will have to tune into next episode and we'll see you next week.

00:21:58.012 --> 00:21:59.473
Have a good one, bye.

00:22:00.025 --> 00:22:00.127
Later.
