[upbeat music] The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
It's the Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I am Victor Wilt. And Peaches, we were just talking about Reddit in general a few minutes ago. And I, I don't know if your Reddit feed is starting to end up like mine because, you know, we end up in these advice subreddits-
[laughs] I thought you were gonna say-
... and the ask Reddit.
... "Am I balding?" [laughing]
[laughs] No, I ... Don't say the B word or I'm gonna start seeing-
[laughs]
... the bald subreddit again. [laughs]
Cake, cake, cake.
Yes, kittens, cats. [laughs]
That one time that you had nonstop cake on your feed.
[laughs] Dude, it was ... Lately Facebook, you know what it is? People cutting pizzas. Are you getting that?
Twerking videos, twerking videos, twerking videos.
[laughs] All I'm getting is people slicing pizza. I don't know what the deal is with Facebook, but it's slicing pizza. But my Reddit feed, man, 'cause we go to these, you know, advice or ask Reddit subreddits. And so I'm getting all of those posts popping up. And man, they're so depressing, you know?
All I'm getting right now is, uh, ask Reddit questions as I often go there for ... to peach the rum. Uh, I found this one, "What is something people slowly stop caring about as they get older?" And it's the ster- the same stereotypical answers of, uh, other people's opinions.
Yeah.
Uh, drama.
Mm-hmm.
But yet again, the other people-
Going out on a Friday night.
Who are the first people to complain? Old people.
[laughs] That's right.
Who are the first people to impede on other people's conversations?
[laughs]
Old people. Who are the first people to ruin a joke? Old people. [laughs]
Oh, man. Yeah, like R- Reddit's probably my favorite of the social medias, but it's still just depressing. There, there's not as much like just outright anger, but I just get all of these like, "Oh, my girlfriend's cheating on me. Oh, I did something terrible to my spouse. Oh."
Guys, I caught my, I caught my girlfriend with a- another dude. What should I do?
Yeah, like I just scrolled past one that was like, "My girlfriend and my best friend were hooking up for years behind my back."
Ugh.
And it's like, uh, uh, you know, I'm, I'm sorry, but the, the, th- ... That's from the true off my chest subreddit-
All right
... where people just go to rant about their problems.
Oh.
And, uh, you know, I don't wanna get that kinda stuff stuck in my head, other peoples', you know, terrible relationship issues. 'Cause I feel like I'm in a pretty good relationship right now, but when you start getting, you know, pummeled with other peoples' relationship problems, you start to, you know, have nightmares and stuff. A- at least if you're me. I'm a paranoid person.
You, you're having, you're having nightmares that you think Beck is doing that to you?
She's dumping me. [laughs] She dumped me at CodyJinx that one time. [laughs]
I, I, uh, went to, uh, ChatGPT and I said, "Hey, can you give me a horrible situation that's entirely made up for the subreddit truth off of my chest?"
[laughs]
"I think I accidentally ruined my family and no one knows it was me."
[laughs]
"I've been holding this in for years. I genuinely don't know how much longer I can carry it. A few years ago, my family owned a small business together. It wasn't huge, but it paid the bills and everyone relied on it. My parents, my sibling, even a couple of extended relatives. Things were st- things were stressful, but stable. I was put in charge of handling some of the digital stuff, emails, scheduling, invoices. I wasn't trained for it, but I didn't want to admit I was overwhelmed. One night, exhausted and half asleep, I deleted what I thought were duplicate files and old emails. A few days later, we found out that a major client had been trying to reach us for weeks about a contract renewal and never heard back. That contract was the backbone of the business. By the time we realized what happened, that client had gone elsewhere. The business started bleeding money almost immediately."
[laughs]
"Arguments followed, blame got passed around. My parents accused each other. My sibling quit working there entirely. Eventually, the business [laughs] shut down."
[laughs]
"Everyone thinks it was just bad timing or the economy or that client was unreliable anyway. No one ever suspected it was a mistake. My mistake, I never told anyone."
[laughs]
"I was terrified that admitting, uh, that admitting it would destroy whatever was left of my family. Now years have passed, my, my parents are still bitter. Family gatherings are awkward and quiet. Every time someone brings up, 'What went wrong back then?' My stomach drops."
[laughs]
"I replay that moment constantly and wonder how different everything would be if I had just double-checked or asked for help."
[laughs]
That's not all that crazy.
That, that sounds exactly like one of the posts in true off my chest. And I ... So it makes me wonder how many of 'em are real, you know? 'Cause you know people wanna get them up votes, so they'll post anything.
I, I just ... I don't get those. Can you see what people are saying to that one guy about, like, "Hey, my, eh, my girlfriend and my best friend were hooking up for years"?
Oh, let's find out. Hold on, let me scroll back to it.
'Cause I, I, I really wanna know what Redditors are suggesting as a, uh, nice solution. I feel like there could be some, uh, trolls in that comments section too.
Yeah. So, you know, the, the, the guy goes on in the post that, you know, "Didn't catch 'em or anything like that, or get a dramatic confession. Just figured it out slowly, which hurt more." And you know, uh, you know, "They let me pay for dinners we all shared and sat on my couch laughing while I grabbed drink..." You know, it's one of those things. Which, you know, people go through really bad situations in relationships and it makes you think ... That's why I hate these posts. Makes you think back to those bad relationship situations you've been in in the past.
And it makes you think, like, "Did that person do that to me?"
Yeah, it ... Dude, totally.
I had my first-
Exactly.
My first ever girlfriend sort of, like, betrayed me and started seeing, like, another dude right away and became, like, best friends with my former best friend. Like, that whole situation.
Yeah.
And I was thinking about it. I'm like, "D- did she cheat on me with him?"
Yeah, dude, exactly.
And then, and then I was gonna be like, "Let's treat him like that Divinity trailer."
[laughs]
"Let's tie him up-
Yes
... and throw torches."
Let's- [laughs]
And- [laughing]
You start getting mad at people from your past for no reason.
For no reason. I start DMing them, "Screw you."
[laughs] "I know what happened."
"What's that for?"
"I hate your guts."
[laughing] Let's see.
I had a weird dream that, uh, Aubrey, um, left her phone at my apartment. And i- it was, it was entirely a dream. I woke up ... No, i- in the dream, I woke up from a nap or whatever, right? It's weird. Um, I then was walking around my room. I don't know how Aubrey contacted me because the whole dream was about Aubrey's phone was still at my place.
Mm-hmm.
... uh, it was below my nightstand.
Okay.
And so I grabbed the phone, and I'm digging through that thing.
[laughs]
Like, every app-
Oh, no. [laughs]
... everything. Messages. Twitter DMs.
Oh, no.
Instagram DMs.
[laughs]
And I then go to Discord on her phone in the dream. In the dream.
In the dream.
I need to clarify, in the dream. There's nothing wrong with Aubrey.
[laughs]
She's the best, okay?
[laughs]
But I then went to Discord, and for some reason, a dude that looked like Randy Blythe of Lamb of God was messaging back and forth with her.
[laughs]
And it was this whole conversation about, "Hey, you w- ... Do you want to ride in my car?"
[laughs]
And Aubrey said, "Yeah, I would love to. These are all the times that I'm available."
[laughs]
And it was all the times around, around our schedule.
When you're at work? [laughs]
Yeah. And I was thinking, I'm like ... I woke up and I'm just like, "Did she like, go on a ride with some dude or something like that?"
[laughs]
Like, what's going on here?
I know. Dreams are so messed up. They're so stupid. And it, it sucks when they mess with you after you wake up.
I was mad too. I called her. I'm like, "Screw you."
[laughs]
Yeah. Yeah, tha- that's why, you know, I think the universe like curses you if you start snooping into other people's personal business. Like, if you do just root through somebody's phone, then the universe is gonna curse you and you're gonna find something you don't wanna find.
Yeah.
You know?
There's that one off-putting text.
Yeah. And then you're gonna read into something wrong. Like, I mean, me and Becca, we hand each other our phones all the time. And I'm, I'm not, I'm not worried about anything.
I'm aware of everything myself. I was a little hurt, though.
Everything's great with us.
I was a little bit hurt one time, all right? I'll tell you why.
[laughs] Oh, yeah. What happened?
Um, Aubrey texted Maddie down the hall.
[laughs]
And said, "Please don't tell Brendan this."
Oh.
And so I opened up the conversation, and apparently, um, she was insulting my collection of trinkets.
[laughs]
She said, "Those fridge magnets are so dumb."
[laughs] Hey, I bought a lot of those fridge magnets.
I could never. I, and, and so I'm saying.
You know, that's my, you know, souvenirs for Peaches.
So I teared up. I said, "Listen here, I love my fridge magnets more than I ..." I'm just kidding. [laughs]
[laughs]
No, uh, but that's like the one thing. I, I tr- I trust her entirely. [laughs]
Me too, me too.
I wanna be real on this whole break too. Don't go snooping through your significant other's phone.
Yeah, don't-
It's an invasion of privacy.
It is. And you know, if, if you're in a trusting relationship, you shouldn't have to worry like that.
Yeah.
You know, I, like I don't worry.
But, but love is the death of peace of mind.
Oh, no. [laughs]
Hmm.
Oh, no. Stupid Bad Omens. [instrumental music plays]
The noon hour of madness and mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor Wilt. All right, Peaches, you know that you love stories about people getting banned from subreddits, right?
Oh, yeah. I just talked to Metal Burb about that whole situation.
Did ya? [laughs]
'Cause he was talking about how he used to get in fights with, uh, the fans of Nightwish, Tool, and Babymetal.
Nice.
And so I told him that whole story real fast. So I'm hoping that I can tag the Seether moderator and know that he, he can know-
[laughs]
... that I'm spreading the word about my distaste for that whole community.
Absolutely. Make sure you put Seether in them keywords when you upload that video. That's for sure.
I'm just watching some fat guy with a neck beard and a fedora just getting all mad at his computer. "This guy Peaches." Uh, all frustrated.
So yeah, some guy got banned for, uh, posting about it being the worst ski season start in 20 years.
Yeah, sure.
And apparently, the mods in the Idaho subreddit got mad about this, so he made a new account and then is posting about the lowest snow coverage from satellite since 2001. Goes on and on, just, you know, just talking about the fact that we haven't had a lot of snow yet.
I feel bad for the, for the, uh, LaBelle Lake Ice Palace.
Yeah.
Because they're, they're trying their best to start for the season. They, they wanted to open in December. Obviously, they couldn't because it's 55 degrees outside.
Yeah, it's great.
It's awesome.
[laughs]
But I'm still seeing-
I love it.
I'd much rather just see the stupid posts from people on Facebook asking, "Where's the snow?" than deal with the snow.
Exactly, exactly.
[laughs] As conceited and as awful as that sounds, like, "Brendan supports climate change." Like, just shut up.
[laughs]
But, you know.
No, like, you know, we've had really bad winters recently. We've had some that are a little more mellow. This so far, I am loving it, 'cause you know I hate winter.
I'm knocking on wood, ferociously. [laughs]
I'm, do, I mean, I'm gonna monkey with my snowblower when I get home from work. I, I wanna make sure it's working, 'cause the day will come, and who knows how bad the winter could be. You know, it's not even the first day of winter yet.
December 22nd.
That's right. So enjoy fall, ev- We actually had somewhat fall. We don't usually get that. So this is wonderful.
Why people don't like seasons and seasoning.
[laughs] That's right.
That's what I figured out.
Ah. Like when I see the people just whining about not having snow, I'm sorry if you're a snowboarder or skier, but go- I don't know, go, go to ... I bet there's snow somewhere.
Well, the reason why people are complaining about not having the snow is 'cause they wanna make fun of those people who drive into the ditch, I feel like. They wanna make fun of those-
You think so?
"Oh, first meeting of the ... Californians." Or something like that.
[laughs]
And I feel like most Californians, like myself, we have the snow tires. We have the boots, you know?
Yeah. No, it's people around here who, they, they just get hog wild when the first snow hits.
AKA Maddie from down the hall-
[laughs]
... who's driving that very old Subaru and drifting around corners.
Exactly. Like, "I've driven in snow before. I know what I'm doing." And then you're sliding all over the place. And then we end up with these massive pileups and people in ditches. Yeah, I, I think people from other states are m- much more cautious. 'Cause they've ha- if they haven't driven in it, it can be kinda scary.
The scariest thing to me, i- it wouldn't be all that bad-
[coughs]
... if it weren't for the times where you try to stop and you just can't.
Yeah, that-
You have to pump the breaks.
Yeah.
And then you end up rear-ending that other car. And you co- you, yeah, you basically cost yourself a whole bunch of money.
Yeah, 'cause it's your fault. If you rear-end somebody, it's your fault. Which I was gonna ask Lieutenant Crane a question on Traffic School.
All right. Let me pull up the notepad so we can-
Yeah, put this on the notepad. If you rear-end a drunk driver, who's to blame? 'Cause, you know, generally, if there's an accident and one of the people's a drunk driver, they're gonna take the blame for the accident. But if you're following a drunk driver too close and you smash into them, [laughs] you know, who's to blame?
He might have busted the other person, so he might get some leeway.
Y- yeah.
He might get to, like, "Oh, w- we wouldn't have found this guy if it weren't for you rear-ending him and causing him to veer off to the side of the road." [laughs]
Exactly. But it, it, it was just something I was wondering about.
"Officer, he hit me." [laughs]
[laughs] "This guy ran into me. I'm just minding my own business, drinking Jack Daniels."
What was that one video that I found so funny? I think it was the, uh, the, the, the law of seat belts, when they first introduced seat belts.
Oh, people were furious.
And there was this one guy who was like, "Man, they first got rid of, uh, me being able to drink a cold beer on the way home from work."
[laughs]
"Now I gotta put a seat belt on."
[laughs]
We gotta, we gotta put that on a, on a some sort of imager.
Oh, yeah.
Or maybe a traffic school intro. [laughs]
I remember that was a, an argument during the, uh, pandemic, when people were like, "What do you mean I gotta wear a mask?" And it's like, "Well, you have to wear a-"
I was one of those people, sorry.
It's like, you have to wear a seat belt, you know? "I should be able to take whatever kinda risks I want for my own self." And it's like-
"Well, just because, well, I wear jeans doesn't mean it hides the fart." Like ...
[laughs]
Victor, there are a lot of people out there nowadays who try telling you things in full confidence that you're like, "Are you dumb?"
[laughs]
Oh, no. I, I play the, uh, I used to play the-
Are you dumb, stupid or dumb? Are you dumb, stupid or dumb, huh? That's right. [laughs]
There are a lot of people out there that try telling you things about, like, the state of radio, and they're not even in the industry.
Oh, yeah. My, my favorite is, "People still listen to radio?" And it's like, so many people still listen to radio.
It's the number one thing to reach people.
Yeah.
Like, you know, just 'cause you don't, which, I mean, somebody listen-
Just because your hemorrhage ... You have a hemorrhaging podcast with little to no viewers doesn't mean that nobody listens to the radio and you should insult radio DJs.
Yeah. I mean, even like I mentioned the other day, Henry from Last Podcast on the Left, one of the biggest podcasts in the world, was like, "Anybody in podcasting who trashes on radio is an idiot."
See?
You know? [laughs]
And that, that's the-
Tons of people listen to radio.
That's the most successful podcast.
Yeah.
One of the most successful podcasts out there.
Do, do you follow the radio subreddit?
Um, I think so.
'Cause you'll see a lot of dumb stuff in there, especially from, uh, you know, bitter people who are no longer in radio. The- they're the worst.
Don't you love those guys?
Yeah.
I know you do.
Oh, yeah. They're the worst.
They're the, the, those who can't do radio, podcast.
[laughs] That's right.
[laughs]
'Cause anyone can do a podcast. You can fire up your phone, hit the record button.
[laughs] It's, it's very clear anybody can do a podcast.
[laughs]
We're two guys that say ... We're, we're frontiersmen. We'll, we'll speak whatever we think.
[laughs]
We're, we're, we're tough.
[laughs]
What, what's that things? What, what's that phrase I'm trying to think of right now? It's the, um-
Mm. I don't know
... uh, everything's off limits.
[laughs]
Or on limits. Uh, what, what's it? No.
Nothing's off limits.
No, nothing's off limits. We'll tell you how it is.
[laughs] Yeah.
That's what it is.
Yeah, there you go. [laughs]
And by that, you mean you'll just simply insult something.
Yeah.
And-
You, you're gonna-
... think you're tough.
You're gonna say your opinion that's likely hateful in some way or other. [laughs]
That's something I do.
We say it how it is.
I, I can easily tell people to say, "Hey, come disagree with me." Yesterday, there was a lot of people that were, uh, kind of upset that I said Dr. Pepper is the worst soda out there.
Yeah, I mean-
Because Dr. Pepper has that cult following. It is the, uh, sleep token of sodas, the Taylor Swift of sodas. There's a lot of people out there that make it their whole personality.
See, and you don't need to make it your personality, but I would say it's probably my favorite soda.
But you don't see a lot of people saying, "Man, I love Sprite."
[laughs] "If you don't like Sprite, you're an idiot." [laughs]
[laughs]
I've been really, uh, enjoying some Ruby Red Squirt recently.
Nice.
And it's delicious. It's so refreshing. [laughs]
There's a joke that I wanna make.
"If you don't like that stuff, you're a, you're a fool!" [laughs]
[laughs] Well, we f- Uh, well, we were gonna talk about this thread, what is the dumbest thing someone has said to you in full confidence? It would have to be for me, that one time somebody told me about concerts, saying that like, "Oh, uh, bands will choose places like Salt Lake City and perform there on the weekdays so they can perform in places like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago on the weekends and get the biggest crowd."
Oh, yeah. You see that-
That's not how it works.
Yeah, you see that all the time with shows around here if they happen to be on a weekday. And we're lucky. We get a lot of shows on weekends around here. I mean, bands don't only play on the weekend. They have-
Uh, Bill Murray.
[laughs] They play every day of the week.
With the home team, gonna be in Salt Lake Saturday, April 18th.
Oh, picking Salt Lake. Oh. Yeah, go to the Los Angeles Pollstar listings and look at every day of the week how many different artists are playing.
That reminds me, let's check this out 'cause, uh, the world-famous K-Rock-
Oh, geez
... world-famous for playing the worst type of music.
World-famous for being one of the worst radio stations out there right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they made the big announcement... Oh, okay, so it actually is happening on Saturday, so that's not a good example.
Okay.
I was gonna talk about, uh, Evanescence and Spiritbox with the Nova Twins just got announced at the Kia Forum.
Okay.
I really hate how it has to be sponsored. You can't just call it the Forum. It has to be the Kia Forum.
Everything is.
Let, let's, let's name this venue after a subpar car.
[laughs]
Like, wh- why?
Hey, uh, there's somebody around here who drives a Kia, isn't there? They're gonna hear you, Peaches.
Oh, they're gonna hear me. They're gonna get very upset-
[laughs]
... 'cause the Kia is their whole entire personality. You know, I drive a Hyundai, and I can tell you, Honda is better.
Whoa.
Honda is better than Hyundai, for sure.
See, and I'm a Toyota guy.
Toyota's number one.
Yeah, Toyota is ... Th- that's where I'm at.
Toyota is definitely the most reliable brand.
Toyota's great.
The more fake ritzy you go with a car, like if you drive a G-Wagon, good luck with those maintenance bills.
[laughs] Or, or, you know, like, uh, I know that we've had in the past a Volkswagen and it was a great car. But yeah, when you need to get something fixed, it's got weird parts.
It's a German manufacturer and it's hard to, you know-
Yeah.
Like Tesla, I can only imagine trying to drive one of those Cybertrucks.
Oh.
Like Jake from Romanes, like, I, I, I ... He probably could afford the bill, but, [laughs]-
[laughs]
... it's, it's one of those things where-... y- y- you think like the parts, upkeep, insurance definitely ... Insurance on one of those things is probably through the roof.
Probably.
Because of the reputation, and, and just the, uh, overall stories you hear about CyberTrucks as well.
Yeah. And again, if you need to get it fixed, like, wha- what do you do? You know, you ... Like, you can't take it to a normal mechanic.
And you gotta charge that thing, you gotta get that charger installed-
Yeah
... in your house.
Sometimes it's good to keep it pretty basic. You know, when it comes to, uh ... You gotta look at where you're located, for sure. So-
Honestly, I was contemplating that. I was gonna make this big revelation to you. I was contemplating doing this whole thing. You ready for this?
I'm ready.
I was contemplating not getting a roomy truck at some point [laughs] 'cause the-
Oh!
... driving in the snow.
Well actually, trucks are not good for driving in the snow.
Okay, never mind then.
Yeah. You have to have it in four-wheel drive 'cause they're really heavy. Yeah.
Hm.
Uh, I would much prefer drive a car in the snow.
You're right.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, 'cause it's lower and it's compact.
Yeah. My truck, me ... You know, I've got, you know, big thick tread on my tires
still, you know?
But you're telling me, like, uh-
'Cause they're generally rear-wheel drive.
A truck like Josh's, uh-
Mm-hmm
... will not do well?
Yeah. I bet he'd tell you the same, 'cause they're rear-wheel drive. And, uh, front, front wheel dri- ... Sorry, I'm chewing a TUMS. Front-wheel drive vehicles generally work better in the snow. So, when it gets really slick, I always put my truck in, uh, four-wheel drive.
Hm.
And then, uh, I don't slide all over the place.
What is the ultimate snow vehicle?
Yeah, I bet it's something like a Toyota Corolla [laughs] or some ... Actually to be an all-wheel drive. I bet it's like a Subaru Outback. Something like that.
Yeah. I'm starting to get all these different, uh, weird snow vehicles, like actual insane-
Okay, yeah
... like tank-type cars.
[laughs] Yeah. No, not, not a, uh, off-road-
The Tucker Sno-Cat o- [laughs]
[laughs] Yeah. Not a Sno-Cat or an off-road vehicle, just a regular, uh, automobile. Maybe you need to use the phrase automobile.
Best cars to drive in the snow. The Subaru models-
Hey, I-
... the Forester, Crosstrek.
I, I guessed it, Subaru.
Also Jeep Grand Cherokee, Bronco Sport for, for the robust four by four. Um, SUVs like the Toyota RAV4.
Mm-hmm.
Ford Explorer. Luxury options like the Acura RDX.
Ooh, that's what I'm driving.
I don't drive a regular Toyota-
[laughs]
... I drive-
An Acura
... an Acura RDX.
[laughs]
If my car sounds like a computer m- part-
[laughs]
... it's, it's ritzy. [instrumental music plays] Wrapping up the noon hour of madness and mayhem, we were still scrolling the very liberal media that is Reddit.
[laughs] That's right.
Is that what it's called, liberal media? The liberal outlet?
The, the liberal outlet, I would say.
Yeah, the LO.
That's right, the liberal outlet known as Reddit. And, uh, we've gone through this subreddit before. It always makes me crazy, the male living space.
I was about to say, "Am I balding?"
[laughs] No, not ... No, no, it's gonna start popping up now.
[laughs] That's why I said it-
r/slash bald.
Bald. Bald. Bald.
We're gonna get it on everyone's phone, r/slash bald if you use Reddit.
Hey Alexa, open up r/slash bald on Reddit.
[laughs] Oh. So, y- these guys will post pictures of their, like, bedrooms or living rooms, and they're like, "What do you think? Rate my space." And, um-
I think it's adorable.
You think it's adorable?
I think some dudes are like, "Look how proud I am of my closet."
Y- you know, this ... I'm not gonna make fun of a 17-year-old kid.
[laughs]
You know, like, "All right, dude. Like, I think your room's kinda boring, but what- whatever."
I do like this guy that the r- ... The reason why we're talking about this is because I was scrolling Reddit, and I, apparently I follow r/slash male living space, and this guy posted his closet. He's ... It says, "My closet...33M," meaning 33 years old, he's a male. And-
A little older than you.
Yeah. And so I looked at his closet, and he has everything organized. He has a little shoe rack that has multiple belts on the left-hand side. They're organized by color. I see, uh, folded T-shirts on top of T-shirts that are hung up. I see, uh, three trays of cologne. But then I vi- ... I see a very weird picture. Now, I can't tell if this is the Honky Tonk Man, or if this is Elvis, or if this is Conway Twitty.
[laughs]
Uh, any one of those options is rather funny. There's a framed photo of one of those guys above all the clothing. And then there's a rack that's way up high where there's a lot of hats. And it's funny that we're, we're talking about hats right now. There's a guy, um, that me ... So me and Josh, we ... when you were on your lunch break, uh, a tad bit earlier, we were talking about, uh, content creation and just how Classy is really trying to get to 1,000 subscribers on YouTube, and he has-
Yeah.
Josh has this whole plan for next year.
Yeah.
But we were looking at different radio stations,
and one of those radio stations was one in Missoula, or something of that ... I don't know if it was Missoula or surrounding area. But there was one guy that had this wide variety of different Yankees hats. One was yellow, one was pink, one was red, one was blue. Like, they all had different designs on the side as well. And I'm just thinking, "I'm not a hat guy at all," and I feel like that'd be rather expensive, and also just kind of annoying that you're known as the hat guy.
Yeah.
Like, you never show your bald head. Like, that guy was bald completely. There's nothing wrong with it.
Nothing wrong with being bald.
Yeah.
But, uh-
The worst is when you have nothing on top and something on the sides and you wear a hat all the time-
[laughs]
... AKA my dad. [laughs]
[laughs] Yeah, um, I can't find the closet post, but, uh, you know, I just wonder a lot of the times when it comes to these posts if these are guys trying to impress chicks.
Well, you're not gonna impress girls in r/slash male living space.
No. None of these are impressive. They're like, "Look. Look at my, you know, clean room," or, "Here's my computer. Look at my gray living space." You know, what do they call that, how everything's gray now? I saw a g-
Is it liminal space, or is it just millennial gray?
N- no, I saw a great term for it the other day. It was like the asylum [laughs] you know? Something about the asylum decor. And that's what so many people seem to be into.
I do, I do see-
I'd just be so bored.
I see a comment here on this one post we were talking about, the 33-year-old male, the closet. "I'm gonna go ahead and say you live in Texas and you're a bachelor."
[laughs]
And he replies saying, "No. I'm married with two kids. I'm in North Carolina. I like my cowboy boots, but I also enjoy my loafers as well. I'm versatile."
Yeah.
So he's really not trying to impress anybody.
Dude, if I took a picture of my closet, it's just, "Here's a giant row of black T-shirts." [laughs]
You should, honestly.
That's all it is.
Say male ... Uh, no, don't say male. Say, uh-
43
... 43M.
M.
My closet.
My closet. And it's ... Well, I guess Becca has clothes in there now too, but most of hers are black.
No, no. No, just, just say it's your closet and just-
Oh. [laughs]
... maybe pretend you, you secretly dress up.
[laughs]
'Cause there's already that thing out there that you're dressing up as Victoria Rose.
[laughs]
The-
That would be pretty funny. "I- i- isn't that a bra?"
[laughs]
"What, what, what, what are you doing?" [laughs] That, that actually would be a pretty funny post. I might have to ... I, I need to clean the closet up a little bit first though and make it look nice and tidy like these guys do.
Sure. Yeah. Y- you can imagine, like, his wife is like, "Hey, why are you cleaning the closet so obsessively?" "I'm gonna post it in r/slash male living space. I need the, I need their approval."
You're like ... See, look at this guy's bedroom. It's the most boring space ever.
It looks like a hotel.
It does. There, there's nothing hanging on the walls.
That, that looks like the picture they show you before you move in. Like, "Hey, this could be your bedroom."
Yeah. I just ... Like, who's living this way? Why are people so anti decorations? You know, j- hang something up, people. It's okay. Your house doesn't need to look like the real estate listings. They make 'em empty so you can envision how you could make the space your own, not so that you move in, you're like, "This looks great. I love living in the asylum."
[laughs]
