But if a grown-ass man cannot carry his own weight physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, metaphorically, and a place of a God forbid we're going to battle, then what are you worth?

You're just a liability and not an asset to humanity.

Welcome to the Bedros Cooling Show.

Hey, welcome to the Bedros Cooling Show. My name is Bedros Cooling.

And today we're going to do a deep dive into a question I got asked the other day and that got me thinking.

The question that I was asked is, Bedros, what kind of man do you admire?

And I was like, man, that's a really good question.

And so I gave my answer, but quite honestly, I didn't really think through my answer because I was in a rush.

And so I later as I was driving off, I kind of thought, like, man, there's actually other traits that I admire about certain types of men.

So I'm going to share that with you because let that be a goal for all of us to become the idealized version of the man that we want to be, right?

So I'm going to share with you here the type of man that I admire.

I'm going to tell you a great story about my dear friend, Chanta. Chanta fuck up.

And so, yes, his name is Chanta and the running joke that he and I have for the last 25 years, I go, hey, Chanta, he goes, what?

I go, Chanta fuck up. And so shout out to you, Chanta, if you're watching this or listening to this, bro, he and I worked together at Disneyland.

We met way in high school and we worked together at Disneyland as bus boys and then became dinner cooks and all this stuff.

But really stayed lifelong friends and he's literally a writer die for me.

He's one of those dudes where if I just give him a call and say, hey, Chanta, show up, man, and he'll just say, do I bring a shovel? And where are we going?

And so long story short, when we were probably about 20 years old, both of us were single and neither one of us went to college.

And so Chanta got the great idea that we're going to go to San Felipe for spring break, right? So living out here in Southern California, he had figured out that a lot of the colleges during spring break, they'll go to San Felipe, Mexico and ship pops off in San Felipe, Mexico and lots of ladies and good times and nightclubs and whatever, right?

And so off we went, we got in this pickup truck and we drove the seven hours to San Felipe, Mexico.

We get there and we're in this like shitty little hotel that he and I are sharing a room in and we're just excited because we're like, dude, all we got to do is blend in.

We got to use blend in wherever this group of guys and girls go, we're going to go with them and they're going to ask us what university your college guys go to.
