Summary
Jeff and Jordan move from celebrating a domestic "win" to questioning the state of the world. We dive into era envy—dinosaurs, 1920s suits, and smoking in bars—while tackling the frustrations of modern sensitivity and internet vitriol. We wrap up with a reality check on "earning your way" and a final philosophical choice: will life harden us or soften us?

| 0:00.0 | Yeah, you need a group. |
| 0:05.4 | Do you think anyone, so say a thousand years from now, there's some errors, but like 2020, |
| 0:14.1 | like where we're at right now, the 2020s, do you think anyone's going to want to come |
| 0:17.8 | back to the 2020s? |
| 0:18.8 | I wonder what life was like in 2020. |
| 0:22.2 | I feel like 2020, everything fell apart for me. And it just kind of sucked. What? Hey guys, episode 242. So I got really excited today. This was like a plus because after the whole car thing, then I had a plumbing issue, had a color plumber, and then, but this was something positive that I |
| 0:45.5 | can say for today. So there's a pair of Jean shorts that I have not been able to fit in to |
| 0:51.6 | since 2021. And I would always try and like, I either couldn't get them up my hips or my fat was |
| 0:58.9 | just bursting out of them, or I couldn't get them buckled. And today I got them up and buckled them. |
| 1:04.4 | Well, that does feel good. That's a win. I would like the seven grand back that we just shelled out, but hey, you got to find the positive. You got to find it. That's a positive. And then I didn't really want to go to this workout class today. I kind of felt groggy just, you know, like the weather. And then I was like, no, you pussy. You've been wanting to, you keep saying that you're trying to get to this weight and workout. And now you got these gene shorts that fit. And if you don't go to this workout class, they're not gonna fit even better. And like I just keep telling myself that and then I went. That's how I talk to myself and people are say that's no good. Why? I don't know. |
| 1:45.6 | I motivate myself. |
| 1:46.5 | I do too, but so I guess. |
| 1:47.5 | I have to be mean to myself. |
| 1:49.2 | What works for each person. |
| 1:51.5 | That's what I do. I look into mirror, I'm like, you're a loser. Yeah. And then I'm like, all right, well, I gotta go do that now. Yes, or like if I don't, let's say I want to do something in the yard, I'm like, |
| 2:01.9 | why can't you? |
| 2:03.2 | You're completely capable of doing it. |
| 2:05.5 | And like I'll just like talk to myself like that. |
| 2:08.0 | And I'm like, go can't you? You're completely capable of doing it. |
| 2:05.6 | And like I'll just like talk to myself like that. |
| 2:08.1 | And I'm like, go downstairs, get your headphones on, find something you like to listen to and do it. Isn't that funny? And then you do it and you feel so much better. And then once I leave the class, that's how I know. And like today, you know when you get a good workout I was just laying there and I was like I could take a nap right now because I feel so amazing. |
| 2:26.4 | Oh, I love it. |
