In this episode of Cracks and Loss, Joe and I talk about how to deal with injuries and how to get back into shape. Joe talks about his recent injury and how he dealt with it, and we talk about what he's been doing to get himself back in shape. We also talk about his struggles with weight loss, how he's trying to lose weight, and what it's like to be a non-jock and not be able to go to the gym as much as he used to. Joe also talks about why he doesn t like going to the pool as much, and why he thinks it's a bad thing. We also discuss how to stay motivated in the summer, and how you can make the most out of the time you have left in the office. We hope you enjoy this episode, and have a great rest of the week!

00:02:16.000Well, you know what really was up was I was kind of cruising along and just, like, we lost five pounds and just kind of, like, hanging around.
00:04:57.000People like me probably installed them, and sometimes you don't hit a stud.
00:05:01.000So that little tiny nail is going right into the fucking drywall, and you're hanging that thing over there, and it's pulling on that sucker.
00:11:39.000Way better off recognizing that you're luckier than those people, having some fucking discipline, watching a David Goggins Instagram clip, and get your fucking shit together, Tom Papa.
00:11:52.000No, I agree with everything you just said, but I'm saying they were better off not being fed a news diet 24 hours a day.
00:12:39.000You hit it on the head and lit it on fire.
00:12:42.000No, but seriously, what can I do about a lot of these?
00:12:46.000You know, look, I think it's good that information's flowing and that moves everybody forward, but, you know, for me sitting in there trying to tell some jokes and feed my kids, it's like, do I need to know everything, every trouble spot going around the world?
00:12:58.000Well, it's like, that is a very good question.
00:13:00.000It's like, how much responsibility do you have to be tuned in to all the events of the world and to act?
00:13:06.000Like, how much responsibility do you have outside of voting?
00:13:08.000And do you have the responsibility to vote?
00:13:10.000Because there's some people that are very interesting people that don't vote.
00:14:22.000Trying to be a good person on just a person level and trying to take care of your family and work hard and be good with people and help your community.
00:14:29.000That's kind of the extent of what you can do and hopefully that spreads out.
00:14:40.000Well, really, I mean, why is that, you know, like all those people that we're talking about at that generation that only got news during that six o'clock hour, you know, were they less citizens of the world because they only got that little dose?
00:14:56.000They were less informed and the idea is that more people can get away with things they shouldn't be able to get away with.
00:15:01.000Like what's happening right now with Julian Assange.
00:15:04.000Julian Assange, in anybody's estimation, if you look at what he did, he distributed information that was extremely interesting to most people in the world.
00:15:50.000They were making it like, you know, hey, but you kind of have to be in that mindset to be able to gun people down from the sky in the first place.
00:17:40.000But that was part of the little story that I caught.
00:17:42.000Yeah, Duncan was poetically describing what the embassy must have smelled like with Julian Assange's dirty cat shit wafting through the halls.
00:17:51.000This crazy asshole you have staying here.
00:19:12.000Like, when he got all those athletes when they came to visit him and the government was shut down, and he brought them off fast food, he didn't understand.
00:20:44.000I mean, you see it with the hair and the fucking constant golfing, even though he's shit on fucking Obama golfing, and he's golfed way more than him!
00:20:54.000He doesn't even try to pretend he's not a hypocrite.
00:23:13.000And the unfortunate part is both are saying, are spending so much time, rather than thinking about this is the problem that we have to deal with, they're spending all their time thinking those other people are assholes.
00:26:26.000In every group of human beings, the negative aspects are real, but this group of human beings, in a relatively short period of time, this group of human beings has managed to accomplish insane architecture, music, comedy,
00:26:57.000The real problem is then you start wondering like what the United States does outside of this country and whether or not they should be doing it, right?
00:27:05.000It's like, are they doing this because they have to do this?
00:27:07.000Because this is the way the rules work in that country?
00:27:10.000I mean, why are they propping up this guy when this guy is clearly a dictator?
00:27:14.000Is it better to have the dictator in charge than to have it We're good to go.
00:28:07.000And, you know, you want to shine light on that, so maybe it's not done again.
00:28:12.000But it's part of the thing that we were talking about before, about our grandparents not having a lot of the information, and in a way that you're living in the dark, and that's bad, but in a way you're living in the light now, and you see everything.
00:28:26.000The problem with seeing everything, I think it kind of is a problem, is that you realize that no organization, no country, no government, Is flawless.
00:28:56.000And this idea, because we can find everything else out, you can expose everyone's flaws.
00:29:01.000Well, we're going to have to come out of this somehow realizing that Flaw doesn't mean that they're evil or they're negative and they have to be kicked out.
00:29:11.000Do you think there's ever going to be a time in humans, like whether it's a hundred years from now or a thousand years from now, where there's no war?
00:29:42.000This is like a Thomas Friedman idea that if...
00:29:46.000If you want to stop people fighting in the Middle East, give them all the comforts of a good society.
00:29:51.000Let them be able to go eat McDonald's and sit in a coffee shop, and all of a sudden you don't want to fight as much.
00:29:57.000And that means prosperity, that means popping.
00:29:59.000So I think technology, if you can bring more water to people and there's less suffering, if climate change doesn't ruin all of that, I think if you can prop these people up and give all these people, if they can rise, then there's no sense.
00:30:12.000I mean, we're at a point now where there's fewer wars than ever before.
00:31:12.000Very bizarre ideas that the systems that we've established for human civilizations, whether it's countries or cities or continents, whatever it is, these systems, once all the boundaries that kept people from freely traveling,
00:31:59.000If there was a technology that would allow you, like a person like you or me, the same way we could drive places, we could just fly into somewhere and land anywhere.
00:32:06.000You don't have to go to a fucking specific location like an airport or get funneled through a road that takes you to some checkpoint station like when you're trying to drive from Mexico.
00:32:37.000But what are you saying that gives you?
00:32:39.000Well, it gives you the interaction with human beings in a way that you won't be able to get them as a group as easily to go after another group.
00:33:23.000Italians are Italians and Germans are Germans and Mexicans are Mexicans and you get around your people and you feel it and you know it and I know who you are and we're part of that tribe and we're part of that thing and it doesn't matter that we grew up somewhere.
00:33:35.000I just know you as an Italian and I'm an Italian and I am with you and that is very different from that Turkish guy over there.
00:33:42.000That thing, that very human thing, chemistry thing of your own blood, your own thing, I don't think that's going to go away forever.
00:33:51.000Bro, you're old school and you bake bread.
00:34:18.000Well, I'm going to blow your mind with my technology end of this conversation, which I just read an article yesterday, that in China, face recognition is the thing that's going to stop Your fantasy of everybody just loving each other and going around.
00:34:33.000In China, with face recognition, they're able to recognize and categorize Muslims in the country.
00:34:43.000There's like this one sect of Muslim in China.
00:34:45.000And with all this face recognition that they're seeing from your phone, from everything, they're starting to catalog the enemy.
00:34:52.000And they're going to be able to, police are sharing information and hotels and everybody, and they're all now, through this network, know what type of person just walked into this building and whether they're friendly or they're the enemy.
00:35:08.000And that thing, that face recognition thing, could end up splitting us apart even more.
00:35:15.000Old timey Tommy with his technological facts.
00:35:19.000Here, China's Big Brother surveillance technology isn't nearly as all-seeing as the government wants you to think.
00:36:30.000And people got super uncomfortable when you were around them.
00:36:33.000It's like holding a camera on everybody.
00:36:35.000Walking around with a fucking camera everywhere.
00:36:37.000I think they'll have something eventually, but I have a feeling it'll be something where there's a technology where the outside, you can't see things, but on the inside you can.
00:36:48.000And then they'll show you images directly in front of you on the lens.
00:36:52.000So you wear glasses like your glasses.
00:38:24.000It's strange, but is it any more strange than our lives today in comparison to people that lived in 1920, like we were talking about earlier?
00:39:07.000I had a question about the Neuralink might be coming on soon or whatever.
00:39:11.000I was thinking about if it got to the point where, say we all got it, and then everyone you knew had it, and there's like a thousand people that have it, wouldn't it hit a threshold point where you're like, not everybody should have this?
00:39:50.000I just sort of think that if, in the theory that you're going to let thousands of people have instant access to the world's knowledge at their fingertips, at a thought's instant, that becomes too powerful in the wrong hands.
00:40:05.000And the people that might have it first might see the future problems of that.
00:40:51.000How ironic would it be if you found out that Stanford and Harvard had banded together to try to stop this from coming out because it would kill their business?
00:41:09.000If there was a scandal that all these higher universities had banded together to try to stop this because it was going to kill their business.
00:41:16.000Like, everybody can know everything we tell them more than everything we tell them.
00:41:20.000I'm going on some college tours already.
00:41:48.000You're going through that right now, so tell me what's going on.
00:41:50.000So all these kids' generations are in debt because they have to take these student loans because college is more expensive than ever before.
00:41:57.000It hasn't changed running the university, the teachers.
00:42:01.000It's the administration of these giant universities are making so much money They're making millions and they keep cranking it out and they keep needing to up the rate and then they make money accessible for the students through loans and then they keep feeding themselves.
00:45:19.000You could have a nonsense education like me, where you just read things that you're interested in, and then you never get a real base education.
00:49:10.000But see, what college should be is education.
00:49:13.000What it really seems to be more is like prepping you for the job force.
00:49:17.000You know, I mean, there's education as well, but it's prepping you for the job force.
00:49:21.000And nowadays, at least in a certain segment of the population, you're getting these colleges that are also like socially indoctrinating kids on socialist ideas and a lot of ideas that...
00:49:36.000You know, just contrary to what probably their parents taught them.
00:49:40.000And so then there's this internal dispute and who's right and who's wrong and do I rebel against my parents and go full social justice warrior?
00:49:54.000And, you know, kids are just trying to find who they are.
00:49:56.000Yeah, there's definitely, when you walk onto these campuses, even just to tour them, which I never did when I was, I just, you know, picked one out and went.
00:50:03.000But you go in, the personality of each university is so dominant.
00:50:08.000As soon as you walk onto the campus and went to some small, really left liberal arts schools, and you just feel like the posters and everything, you're just like...
00:50:17.000As a white male, you're not welcome here at all.
00:50:21.000And then you go to some other places and it's just kind of free-flowing and everybody's just...
00:50:26.000They're just all about the football team.
00:50:28.000Have you ever seen a poster that says, as a white male, you're not welcome here?
00:51:12.000If you take yourself out of whichever way you lean, if you lean left, you can say, well, it's because they're young and they're passionate and they're right.
00:51:19.000If you lean right, you're like, oh, they're babies and they're being taught by people who never made it in the real world.
00:51:24.000They only exist in academia and they're...
00:51:27.000But instead of looking at it like that, look at it...
00:51:30.000Where you don't have a fucking dog in the fight and just step back and go, this is fascinating.
00:51:34.000It's like people are just trying to change and influence people's thinking and behavior.
00:51:40.000And some of it is to justify their own thinking and behavior.
00:51:44.000Some of it is because some people just like controlling people.
00:51:48.000They like getting people to listen to them.
00:51:50.000And some of it is because they genuinely think that this is for the best for the human race.
00:51:54.000And so all these things are competing together.
00:51:56.000That's why you have some people that are activists and you meet them.
00:52:41.000That kind of combative attitude creates more conflict.
00:52:44.000You could be right on every single issue, but if you're super combative all the time, people just don't want to communicate with you and they're not willing to It's brutal.
00:54:33.000When you realize how much good you must feel to that guy to be on top of the world again.
00:54:37.000And then he was so messed up and the back problems and the troubles and the kids and the wife and the thing and just 11 years and he didn't stop working.
00:54:48.000He just went to work and went to work and went to work.
00:56:49.000What do you think would happen if there was an openly gay black guy with blonde hair who only wore pink who was, like, the best golfer of life?
01:06:33.000Buckskins are often trimmed with a fringe, originally a functional detail to allow the garment to shed rain and to dry faster when wet because the fringe asks a series of wicks to disperse the water or quills.
01:06:56.000Wow, so it hangs down and the water goes through all the tissue in the deer and gets to the bottom so those little things get wet but the thing that you're wearing that touches your skin is dry.
01:07:06.000You would think by now that deer would have had fringe on their outfits.
01:14:52.000The stress of not having enough money to feed yourself and feed your family and put a roof over your head, that's overwhelming for people, especially as we were talking about earlier, if people have fucking credit card debt or student loan debt or some insurmountable amount of debt that you can't get out of.
01:15:28.000Is your life all this shit you hate to do?
01:15:30.000Well, that's the answer for most people.
01:15:32.000Most people, most of the time, the answer is you're doing something you hate to do, and it's been me, and I know it's been you at some point in your life.
01:15:41.000But goddamn, the amount that your life can change if you just no longer have to do something you don't want to do.
01:15:47.000You could do something that you actually enjoy, whatever it is, whether it's carpentry or painting or whatever the fuck it is that you love to do.
01:16:47.000But the difference, just as a person who's done both, the difference between doing something you hate doing and doing something you love doing, It's off the charts how much better your life is.
01:17:01.000Because, you know, to use comedy as an example, because it's what we are, when you were making $5 a night, literally $5 a night as a comedian, I was so much happier than when I had a day job.
01:18:46.000So he took a trip to Boston and just fucking dumb luck, when I was driving limos, I wrote a joke that day.
01:18:53.000I had this joke and I called up my friend Oliver, who was the manager at the club, and I said, hey man, can I come in and do like five minutes?
01:19:00.000Because I have this joke I want to try out.
01:21:06.000We went upstairs, and the crowd was so fucking rowdy and so drunk, and there was a dude on stage, his name was George Gallo, hilarious dude, who was doing a reverse shit with a banana.
01:22:08.000At that time, you ran into that more than you didn't run into that.
01:22:12.000Even today, if you get road gigs, if you're an up-and-coming guy or gal, especially if you're a gal, girls get it way harder in the early days.
01:22:23.000My friend's girlfriend admitted the other day that when she sees a female comedian at a comedy club, she cringes.
01:23:00.000I get, like, especially if you're a feminist and you're around, you just don't want her to bomb because then you think, well, all the rest of the audience is going to think that's what all women are.
01:24:21.000Maybe it still exists when you're going through, but if you do that many gigs...
01:24:25.000That's why I really don't believe in just going to your one little alt room over and over again where you know you're coddled and supported.
01:24:34.000I really believe that you have to go into all these hellish situations.
01:27:02.000Because there's no other variables, right?
01:27:05.000The variables of like, if there's like 10 people in the room and everybody's just shooting everybody, which is a lot of these maps, I'll show you that too.
01:30:39.000And then when I'm like, fuck, I gotta take a break.
01:30:41.000I'll just take a break and I'll look at my heartbeat, get my heartbeat down somewhere in the 140s, anywhere around 145, then I'm ready to go again.
01:34:14.000He would walk, like, literally, he would be like, he would walk a step, walk a step, and then just stay, and his legs would be shaking, walk a step, walk a step.
01:34:49.000Having those little relationships with animals, you know, when you're a kid, it's like, you're a dog, you can always talk to them, and you can say crazy shit to your dog.
01:34:59.000You know, your dog can be sitting in your room with you, and you go, you know what, it's just you and me.
01:35:03.000You're the only one who understands me.
01:35:06.000Your parents are acting like assholes.
01:35:07.000No one likes you in the house, but your dog still does.
01:35:10.000I know my parents are a piece of shit, but you're not.
01:37:36.000I just looked up mosquitoes in Los Angeles and it's an article from the end of last year, but it says, have you experienced an unusual number of mosquitoes bites this summer, mostly below the knee and especially around your ankles?
01:38:06.000They're spreading like wildfire, says Susan Klu, Director of Scientific and Technical Research Services for the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District.
01:38:13.000Sounds like Suzanne needs money for her fucking business.
01:38:17.000That's what it sounds like to me, bro.
01:41:35.000Yeah, but we have certain animals that we like, like raccoons.
01:41:40.000Look, we don't like raccoons when they're eating out of your garbage, but if someone had a pet raccoon, you would think that's the dopest thing ever.
01:41:47.000We secretly want relationships with raccoons.
01:41:49.000If they would only be nicer to us, we would embrace raccoons.
01:41:53.000Raccoons don't want to have shit to do with us.
01:46:00.000Obviously, most of them are subterranean, most of them are living in houses, and most of them, I mean, they burrow their way into tiny little holes.
01:51:57.000So when you're bow hunting, you almost have to have one person make the call, and you're at full draw, and then they start calling, and the things come running in, and you shoot at them.
01:54:15.000You're thinking like, oh, I wouldn't live there because that's there, but if you live in New York, at night, who knows what's climbing all around your building.
02:00:33.000Like sleeping in a place where it's awesome to sleep.
02:00:36.000People wiser than me have figured out that that maneuver is called a bed with a roof and a locked door and a refrigerator, you fucking cave person.
02:01:04.000Except for when we're at our friend Doug Duren's place, which is, he lives in Wisconsin, and he's got a giant farm where we hunt deer on, hunt deer on there.
02:01:14.000And that place, he's got a cool little, like a deer hunting house.
02:05:29.000Marcus Brownlee and Lou from Unbox Therapy, they'll get it first, and they'll put it on, and then they'll start running the world because they'll have it early.
02:05:37.000And they go, ah, no one else gets this.
02:06:29.000I mean, apparently, they do it much more, I guess the word would be, they're more ethical about it.
02:06:37.000They're trying not to give away any, the trouble with Facebook is what it's called.
02:06:42.000I was reading a thing yesterday that, you know, you put those doorbell things on, you know, like Ring, you know, that records people coming up to you.
02:06:49.000And they said, you know, you think it's cool for you and your family, but the UPS guy, all these delivery people are getting their picture taken and sent to a database every day.
02:07:01.000Like these people are being monitored all the time.
02:07:04.000So while it's good for you, it's not that great for these other people that visit you.
02:07:12.000It's episode 152. It's very interesting because what it goes into is about how tech companies figured out how to tap into a resource that no one thought of.
02:07:31.000It's one of the most valuable things, because you can direct market to people, you can find out what people are into and what they're not into.
02:07:37.000You get a lot of people that you can get a hold of.
02:07:40.000And we kind of gave our consent to this without understanding it.
02:07:45.000And they got in through a loophole, and this is how...
02:07:49.000They're able to make ungodly amounts of money.
02:07:52.000Just because we wanted to have that cool feature, so you just say, yeah, take it from me.
02:07:57.000I mean, think about the amount of money something like Facebook brings in versus what it is.
02:09:04.000Yeah, so they just take all your photos and look at the Dorito bags in the back?
02:09:08.000Applying computer vision algorithms to user-uploaded multimedia objects to detect specific objects within the multimedia object and promoting the uploaded multimedia object from a user's news feed to a sponsored stories area.
02:09:24.000That's what the patent was awarded for.
02:09:37.000You snap a selfie sipping a unicorn frap at Starbucks and then shares that selfie on Facebook or Instagram.
02:09:44.000Facebook's newly patented technology can theoretically scan the photo, spot the Starbucks cup with the help of an image object recognition algorithm, and then sell that info to Starbucks.
02:09:56.000Alerting the coffee giant of the fact that you like its product.
02:09:59.000Well, they're already doing a version of that with your searches.
02:12:09.000I was trying to find this the first time you brought it up, but I know that there's these masks that exist that are, in quotes, like hyper-realistic masks that can be used to, I don't know if it's, this isn't used to help the facial recognition, but I think people are using them to trick it and do fake stuff, and like, you know,
02:12:25.000I don't know if you could commit a robbery with that on, and it's just like having a ski mask on now, they just can't see your face, but it'll think something.
02:12:57.000But what I'm saying is with this, if you wanted to rob someone and have something, even the facial recognition software would legitimately think you were somebody else.
02:15:11.000It gives you a lot of other weird stuff too, like that you might have certain genes for certain proclivities, even including lactose intolerance, propensity to alcohol.
02:16:03.000It makes you really think, to get here, in 2019, what had to happen with all the people in the past, and if you keep going back, I have a little bit of Asian in me.
02:16:18.000I think it was like 1% or something like that, but I'm thinking, where'd that come from?
02:16:42.000But what I'm saying is, I think that if you look at what technology was available, like 200 years ago for finding Ancestry, people didn't even know if that was their kid 50 years ago.
02:16:56.000I mean, maybe they had paternity tests 50 years ago, did they?
02:16:59.000Like, just trying to find your roots, like, back in Italy, you just have to go find, like, Town Hall and see if there's a book with your great-grandfather's name in it.
02:17:06.000Yeah, but I mean, you didn't even know if your dad was really your dad, if your mom was a hoe.
02:17:11.000Around sixth grade, I figured that out.
02:17:15.000But if you wanted to know a hundred years ago, if you were the father of someone's child, you had to look at the kid and go, the kid looks like me.
02:18:07.000Even if you do a DNA test and you find out the child's not yours, I think once you have started paying, unless you might have to go to court and duke it out, but I don't think your payment obligation stops just because it's not your kid.
02:19:14.000You know, Tesla has a sentry mode and it caught some politician back in his Escalade into a Model 3 scuffing it up, getting out, looking at it, trying to rub it out, and then taking off.
02:19:26.000And they called him up because they could see his face in the video and they knew who it was because this guy had been like a kind of prominent We're good to go.
02:22:40.000It's amazing how many shots that they take.
02:22:42.000Elon Musk called Top Gear completely phony, and his company sued for libel and malicious falsehoods.
02:22:47.000A judge dismissed the suit in October, saying no viewer of the program could have reasonably compared the Roadster's performance on the track to a real-world performance on the street.
02:23:17.000After Tesla dropped the car off, Elon Musk claimed that one of his employees was along for the delivery notice that a script for the episode, inside there was a segment about the Tesla breaking down.
02:23:25.000But that was only the tip of the iceberg.
02:23:27.000Top Gear claimed that the Tesla Roadster ran out of power while driving after just 55 miles, much less than the 200 miles quoted by Tesla, albeit it was being driven hard, a claim that Musk said was untrue.
02:23:39.000According to him, the Roadster's logs showed that the car had never dipped below 20% charge during the entirety of the filming.
