[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Hoes being you.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, that's me. You the host, Sebastian, you the host, Sevastian.

[Josh Layl]

That's right. We also got camera four in the building. Shout out to camera four. Doing it. Cracking the lit over there. And then you have me, the Josh Lea. But hey, it's only the. If you want it to be the.

[Sebastian Robles]

The. Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

How you doing, bro? How you feeling?

[Sebastian Robles]

I'm good, man. Super, super good. I know we've been talking about it for the past couple weeks, but, you know, I'm just like dialed in with, like, everybody doing the challenge right now, like, really talking to everybody through dm, like encouraging them to keep moving forward. But, like, I feel like I. My job's pretty easy because, like, everybody back home is so dialed right now and locked in and locked in on their meal plans and they're exercising and stuff like that. So I'm happy for you guys. It's. It's an incredible feeling. Everyone's people already lost seven pounds, ten pounds. And it's just like, dude, the way you feel right now, especially like all your inflammation that probably went down immediately, which is probably your face. That feeling that you have right now looking at yourself in the mirror like, damn, I'm really doing this. Imagine yourself in five, six weeks.

[Josh Layl]

Yep.

[Sebastian Robles]

Like, there's more to it, I promise you. Imagine the feeling right now that you have all happy and damn. Like, that's so tight. Like, when's the last time that you went Seven days, eating super clean. And like. And like, let's not even talk about it in a way where it's like, so out of the norm. It's out of the norm because nobody ever talks about eating clean. We're always, like, out and about eating, like. But, like, the fact that y' all went seven days or by the time you see this, it's probably already over two weeks and eating clean. When's the last time you did that? Probably never. You know, even when we started, we probably never ate clean like that. It makes a huge difference in your body. So I'm proud of y'.

[Josh Layl]

All.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Everybody who's doing the challenge, shout out to you guys, man. We. It's. It's so exciting to see people, like, being a part. I know people are constantly, like, changing, deciding to take a new start, step into their lives, whether it be like, career.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Dating, you know what I mean? Their diet, how they look and feel and. But being able to be like an outside perspector and seeing people change their lives right in front of me is really, really cool, man.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

So.

[Sebastian Robles]

And it makes me so happy how we can be like a huge inspiration to that. You know what I mean? Like, I never thought that I was going to inspire somebody to, you know, lift or eat clean and, you know. Yep, you too. And not only that, the people doing it, you're inspiring everybody around you who didn't even know about the challenge or it was like, yo, what are you doing? Oh, you know, you look so good. You know, what are you doing? You know, it's like, you, you, you're inspiring people and you need to know it.

[Josh Layl]

It's crazy because the way we set up this challenge was the last day of the challenge is actually the first day of summer, which is also crazy to think about because that means, like, graduation is here. Like, people are graduating. So that's also like an exciting thing. Right? It's like, imagine, like, I don't know if there's any people who are graduating that are doing the six week challenge. So you're gon graduate, you're going to start summer, and you're going to be looking fine.

[Sebastian Robles]

Busy summer.

[Josh Layl]

It's a busy summer.

[Sebastian Robles]

A summer to remember.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. You know, I'm going to tell you a funny story about graduation because it's been so long. I think we've talked about this, but when you graduate middle school into high school, My middle school did like a ceremony walk. Did your guys do a ceremony walk? Everybody do a ceremony walk. Did you guys Did It. You guys did it or you didn't?

[Sebastian Robles]

We didn't.

[Josh Layl]

Okay. So my school did. And it's very common practices that I think. My mom told this story on the podcast where she was basically like, I lied to her. I don't think that I had. I did have bad grades in middle school, but I think that was just a bad kid. And I wasn't allowed to walk. So they made us, like, sit in the auditorium, which. And they also left the door open so we can see everybody else, like, walking and graduating and celebrating and dressed nice and taking photos and everything. And we had to sit there the entire time watching. And then I had to go home and lie to my mom and tell her we didn't have a graduation. I just. I just go to high school, mom. I just go to high school.

[Sebastian Robles]

Why didn't you walk?

[Josh Layl]

So I don't remember the details. I want. It could have been bad grades. It could have been just misbehaving. I don't remember. The point is, like, I didn't, bro. I. I feel like I'm pretty, you know, intelligent. Right. Like, I understand things. Right. Like, I run a business. Like, I get things. But with school, bro, I was not good.

[Sebastian Robles]

Me neither.

[Josh Layl]

And it just. I think it just went down to. I just didn't apply myself.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Because I. I notice anything that I do apply myself in, I excel. Like, I'm good, but I didn't apply myself. And I hated school, bro. And, yeah, so I didn't graduate. And then fast forward. I don't know, five years after I graduate high school, obviously I walked. Everything was great. Thank God. And the only reason I really graduated high school was because my coach, my football coach, he was. We had to maintain a 2.3 GPA to play, which was just enough to graduate.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, a couple Cs. Yeah, you can have an F in there.

[Josh Layl]

So I. That kind of kept me accountable to, like, make sure I at least got that so I can play football. But I remember my mom's best friend, his daughter ended up going to Tetloff Middle School. Shout out Tetzloff in Cerritos. And she was like, no, I'm joking. It was like a movie. My mom was like, hey, like, what are you up to today? She's like, oh, I'm actually going to go to my daughter's graduation. She's like, from. From Tetloff. They don't. They don't walk there. She's like, yeah, they do. They have a whole ceremony thing. Josh never walked. That's weird. That Must be new. And the girl was like, no, they've been doing this. This is like a thing.

[Sebastian Robles]

And then my mom called out.

[Josh Layl]

My mom like, hit me up about it. And at that point I was already well off. So I was like, yeah, I didn't walk, mom. And she's like, so you just didn't tell me? I was like, no, I just didn't tell you. Yeah. But I was like, they walk.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

And it's like a really nice ceremony that they do. It's not like a little like, it's like a whole thing.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. It's crazy how like, when I. One of the things I always like, wish that I did better was be a better student in high school. And every time I meet like, younger people that are my age, I always tell them like, bro, be involved in like the extra curriculum activities and be part of like. Cuz, you know, like when I was in high school, like all those activities, like, I'm, I don't want to do that. That's like for nerds. Or like, that's this, that's that. Or like be class president or be this like, if I was back, if I was back in high school, I would want to do all of that stuff.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

And that's one thing that I just like in prom, homecoming, I was too cool for school in my head. And like, I regret it so much not doing that, playing sports, get in sports. But yeah, I, I don't know if I told you I had a similar story. I didn't, I almost didn't walk for my high school. How I told you that.

[Josh Layl]

I think so.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. So piece of kid. Not even a piece of nice kid. Just didn't give a. About school.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, but you know what, bro? Like, I, I, I think it breaks my heart not because I didn't walk, just because, like, I want to give my mom that moment of like, being proud. Because now that I'm older and I just, I just look at my mom in such a different lens and she just wants to like, be there for us.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

And like, that means everything. And I wish if I would have just known that and be like, dude, I'd do everything I can walk for my mom. Fuck. Like school. I don't care about that. But I want her to feel good.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes. Like, a lot of people always, like, I feel like that when they get married, some people, like, I don't really care. Like, we love each other. Right? But like, they get married for their parents and their family.

[Josh Layl]

Crazy.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. And like I get it. Because, like, honestly, like, a lot of, like the. A lot of the effort that you make into, like, planning weddings and, like, making it look a certain way or like, creating that experience. You have your parents in back of your mind the whole time, you know, and it kind of is for them, you know, Imagine your kid getting married and how beautiful that is, you know?

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

But funny story too, today, talking about graduating and stuff. And, like, I kind of felt old today, bro. So me and Josh go to the gym every day, right? And there's this kid that works at the gym. His name's Aiden. And Aiden, shout out to you, Aiden. He's probably not gonna watch this. He's 18 years old.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

And I've known that and I've known that, and I'm like, yeah, you're a kid. Great, great, great kid.

[Josh Layl]

He's honestly incredible.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, you won't. You know those kids that you just mean, you're like, you're such a good kid.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Just so just 100.

[Josh Layl]

He just has his head on the, like, what is it? Head on the right track.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, yeah. Head on the right shoulder. Head on the right shoulders, whatever.

[Josh Layl]

And he has his head on his shoulders, which.

[Sebastian Robles]

Which we all do.

[Josh Layl]

He uses head and shoulders.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. So I. I forgot. I was, I was asking him. Oh, because we're all talking about my water consumption for today, right? And he goes, damn. Like, that's like nothing. I was like, yeah, bro. I feel like man versus wild. I feel like I'm Bear Grills. He goes, who's that? And I said, aiden, What? You don't know who. Man versus wild, AKA the legend. Bear Grills. Yeah, Bear Grills. He goes, nah, man, I'm. I'm. I'm 18. I'm like, I don't care. How do you not know? He go, yeah, I think you did call me un. I was like, when? What year were you born? He said, 2007.

[Josh Layl]

That's insane, bro.

[Sebastian Robles]

I said, when I graduated high school. You're one years old.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

I feel old today, guys.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, that'll do it.

[Sebastian Robles]

That was kind of crazy.

[Josh Layl]

That'll do it. Because, look, he's young, and you can tell he's young, but you're like, you're still kind of like, there. Like you're able to have a conversation. You don't feel like he's like a kid. You kind of feel like he's like a young adult.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. And I feel like, like, me and you, we have this thing in our mind that, like, we don't look at people like that. Everybody's always the same to me.

[Josh Layl]

I kind of agree. I'm not like, oh, yeah, he's a kid.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. Because there's some people that. They'll look at you like that.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. Or they.

[Sebastian Robles]

They treat everybody like that. Like, if you're five years younger than me, I'm not going to give you that much respect as I should.

[Josh Layl]

That's crazy.

[Sebastian Robles]

Isn't that. I don't think. Yeah, it is. And like.

[Josh Layl]

But I do. I do know that's a thing.

[Sebastian Robles]

That. That is a thing. And, like, I don't really look at anybody like that.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, I don't either. I don't either. But when you hear numbers and it's like, kind of brought to you in

[Sebastian Robles]

a real setting, it's like, damn.

[Josh Layl]

You're like, damn, bro. You're like, you. Yeah, the high school thing, it's. Me too. He was one. I graduated 2008.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. So it's crazy. It's crazy.

[Josh Layl]

So, yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

So the whole thing, I was like, damn, I'm. I'm getting up there and then. And at the same time, I was like, my birthday's this. And then when you watch this, it's this Friday, I think, right?

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Damn. I haven't planned and not, you know, I don't even care.

[Josh Layl]

I can just go to dinner with my family and I'm Good.

[Josh Layl]

Come on, man.

[Jessica]

I got a DM from Sarah Fresno. And she told me to let you guys know that Fresno may be a small town, but Fresno State has the largest Chicano and Latino commencement ceremony in the country, honoring over 1000 graduates. She estimates over 1300 were a part of this ceremony, and she's somehow involved with the school and, like, making this happen. So, yeah, Shout out to Sarah for.

[Josh Layl]

Shout out Fresno State. That's crazy. Wow.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Oh, we know.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fresno's lit. This Is so cool, man. This is so cool. This is kind of like changing the narrative of how Latinos are viewed. You know what I mean?

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

I'm over here giving the story how I didn't graduate, but this makes me feel very proud, bro. You know what I mean? Because Latino do. We have some of the smartest, creative people on the planet. And I'm not just saying that because I'm Latino, but I totally feel like that. So to see this new movement of, like, this is a priority. This is important. Like, we're representing. We're changing the narrative. Like, it's so badass.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. Too. Because in Fresno and that whole surrounding area, Central California, those farms.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

So that means that everybody that basically graduates, all their. All their other. All their moms or parents, their theas or theas are all hardworking farm workers as well. A big majority. So. So love that. That's amazing. Love that.

[Josh Layl]

Thank you for sharing that.

[Sebastian Robles]

Shout out. Fresno State.

[Jessica]

So then that got us thinking. Smarter fifth grader.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, my God.

[Sebastian Robles]

I hope I am, bro.

[Josh Layl]

Can I tell you something? I'm going to just say this. We're not. I don't think we are. Yeah, no. I've seen this game before, and these questions are hard because they're very like. It's not just about being smarter than a fifth grader. Like, you got to be book smart.

[Sebastian Robles]

And not only that, you got to remember.

[Josh Layl]

Exactly.

[Sebastian Robles]

I don't remember that. I learned when I was in fifth grade.

[Josh Layl]

But you don't run that fifth grade

[Sebastian Robles]

did have the best field trips, though. I will tell you that much.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

And you know what I find really weird is that. And it won't even probably happen anymore is in fifth grade. I remember I went to Norwalk Glacier Elementary School. There was a teacher, a fifth grade teacher. It was a guy. I forgot his name. Cool ass guy. Cool ass guy. He invited the whole class to his house to swim at his house.

[Josh Layl]

Kind of creepy.

[Sebastian Robles]

Isn't that kind of creepy now? But, bro, it was so cool. And like. Yeah, like, you know what I mean?

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

I Used to walk from, from from where I lived off Alondra and Norwalk all the way to Norwalk High Mission, bro. I, I, I went the other day to, to what's the Marisco spot you like, over there in Norwalk?

[Josh Layl]

Done. Munchies.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, the munchies. I took my mama shout out to a munchie. You gu fire. Yeah. So good. If you guys want Maris, go to Donis in Norwalk or by Norwalk. Santa Fe Springs.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, it's like, yeah, Santa Fe Springs.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's like the street of Santa Fe Springs, but it's in Norwalk.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

I don't know, it's weird. So I went there for Mother's Day. She wanted something like that, so I was like, let's just go over there. That was tight. Great food. Where am I getting at?

[Jessica]

Oh, yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

So on the way back home, I was like, mom, I can't believe you would make me walk. I would never have my kid walk. Never. And then I, and then I lied to her and I told her that on my way to, to the house after school. And this is true story, didn't happen to me, but I would tell her that this happened to me and she felt horrible. Now is that we would walk and I would be scared every single day to walk back home because the kids who were older than us and that were able to drive would get big. I told my mom was like, mom, two sizes, Big gulp. She goes, something like that, right? And I was like, yeah, like the big ass cups, right? There's some big couples I see, like they were pissing the big gulps. And while you're walking and they're driving, they would throw them, they would throw them at you. He goes,

[Josh Layl]

that's crazy, bro.

[Sebastian Robles]

And then I was like, I'm like, but you made me walk. I was lying. And she goes, I know, I know.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. You know what's funny, bro? You just unlocked a memory too. I think I remember hearing stories that people would do that.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's fast.

[Josh Layl]

Not, not with P, though.

[Sebastian Robles]

I heard pee was something that I put in there.

[Josh Layl]

Okay.

[Sebastian Robles]

I was gonna say I did that. It was like mainly like soda or a, or a Slurpee.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, yeah, I do remember.

[Sebastian Robles]

But like the P. I knew if I said pee, it would worry her even more.

[Josh Layl]

Trigger.

[Sebastian Robles]

I just wanted my mom to say something about my mom saying is the best.

[Josh Layl]

You were just like.

[Sebastian Robles]

And I'm like, got her. Yeah. No, but mom, if you're watching, that never happened to me.

[Josh Layl]

All right, Jess, let's get it. Are you smart enough? Fit. Gra.

[Jessica]

And to your point, some of these are kind of hard. Try to go. I try to go with some that are, like, more chill.

[Sebastian Robles]

I assume they are.

[Josh Layl]

All right, guys, I want you guys to play along, too. So if you're listening, try to see if you know these as well.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. And let us know which ones you got.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, my God.

[Jessica]

Five. That's a pentagon.

[Sebastian Robles]

Oh, yeah, Pentagon.

[Josh Layl]

Well, man, this is an easy one.

[Sebastian Robles]

I. Dude, the first one wrong.

[Josh Layl]

What's worse?

[Sebastian Robles]

Me saying at least 5 or you? 8. 8 is the easiest one. Octo.

[Josh Layl]

You got it wrong. Dude, you can't talk when you got something wrong. You know that, right? Like this, You're. This doesn't offend. You got it wrong. Yeah, but I got it wrong. Doesn't matter.

[Sebastian Robles]

I got it wrong. I got it wrong. But you got it wronger.

[Josh Layl]

It doesn't matter, bro. It's wrong.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, I know, but, like, if I had to be wrong, I'd be more wrong on my side than your side.

[Josh Layl]

Okay, but you're still wrong.

[Sebastian Robles]

Wronger. Imagine that was your name. Wronger. Lea.

[Josh Layl]

All right, next one.

[Jessica]

Jess, what planet is known as the Red Planet?

[Sebastian Robles]

Oh, that's easy.

[Josh Layl]

Mars.

[Sebastian Robles]

When should it be? Like, one hand, one me. So we don't, like, overlap? Yeah. Or do you want to overlap? Oh, by the way, guys, I don't know if you guys know. You guys can't see them, but my dogs are here for the first time in years. What you got there? He does that to put his oil into the. The couch so he gets comfortable. Yeah, that's cool. I like that.

[Jessica]

What do you call a word that describes a noun?

[Josh Layl]

What do you call a word that describes a noun?

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, what do you call a word that describes a noun? Oh, that's easy. You ready? Oh, yeah. It's my turn, right?

[Josh Layl]

Sure, go ahead.

[Sebastian Robles]

Verb.

[Jessica]

Okay, Josh,

[Josh Layl]

I'm trying to think of that game that we play. It's like. It's like in the name, like, whose line is it anyways? It's. I. I don't know, I'm blinking. Am I on the right track, though? You get what I'm saying? You know that game that we play? The one where, like, you fill it in like the. The blanks, Like.

[Jessica]

Oh, Mad Libs.

[Josh Layl]

Mad libs.

[Jessica]

Yeah, we were. Yeah, we did that.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jessica]

And we talked about.

[Josh Layl]

Is it a mad.

[Jessica]

No.

[Josh Layl]

I don't know.

[Jessica]

It is not a verb. A verb describes an action.

[Josh Layl]

This is an adjective. Oh, so it's just one of those.

[Sebastian Robles]

Okay, that was gonna be my second answer. Damn.

[Jessica]

Describes the person.

[Sebastian Robles]

I'm wronger now.

[Josh Layl]

Damn.

[Sebastian Robles]

Dang. Are we stupid or what?

[Jessica]

Josh, which state is directly above Texas?

[Sebastian Robles]

Hold on. Not Josh. Saying a couple minutes ago, like, yeah, like, I wouldn't consider myself a smart person, but I'm pretty intelligent. I have a company.

[Josh Layl]

Not book smart. That's what I said.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, book smart, street smart. We got it. Huh?

[Josh Layl]

Well, business. Business savvy is not like book smart. Yeah, Colorado.

[Jessica]

Okay.

[Josh Layl]

Josh Sebastian, you're.

[Sebastian Robles]

No, not Colorado. I think it's. Well, there's probably a couple.

[Jessica]

If you think about the way, like.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, wait a minute.

[Sebastian Robles]

I got. I got it.

[Josh Layl]

I got.

[Sebastian Robles]

I think I got one either.

[Jessica]

Oak.

[Sebastian Robles]

I think it's Oklahoma.

[Josh Layl]

Is it New Mexico?

[Jessica]

Okay, it is Oklahoma, but is it

[Josh Layl]

New Mexico, like in.

[Sebastian Robles]

It might touch, right? Yeah, like, let me check.

[Josh Layl]

I think New Mexico touches.

[Sebastian Robles]

I mean, Texas is magically above. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.

[Josh Layl]

So there's only one state.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, no, you're right, because New Mexico is on the side. I mean, technically it's on top too, but not really. Oklahoma is literally on top.

[Jessica]

Oh. Yeah. So.

[Josh Layl]

No, I was thinking about that little top sliver. Yeah, yeah. And I thought that was New Mexico, but that's.

[Jessica]

No, I mean, this is New Mexico, bro.

[Josh Layl]

Colorado was right there, though. But it said right above.

[Sebastian Robles]

You know, it's funny, when you said Colorado, I was like, no, Colorado is all the way at the. On in the north. I was way off, cuz I saw you're like, yeah, yeah, it's all the

[Josh Layl]

way up there, bro.

[Sebastian Robles]

Bro, if you're at the tip of Texas, you can probably pass oklahoma for like 45 minutes and then you're. You're in Colorado immediately. That's kind of crazy, cuz. Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, they all touch. It's like a foursome. Freaks. Dude, have you ever been Oklahoma? What's inside there? Dude?

[Josh Layl]

No, I've never been. Never been. Never had a reason to But I hear it's beautiful, actually.

[Sebastian Robles]

Let's go visit.

[Jessica]

Oklahoma sits at the heart of America, defined by deep Native American heritage, iconic Western cowboy culture, and the country's longest drivable stretch of Route 66.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, that's cool.

[Jessica]

The state is a diverse mix of bustling modern cities, striking geological wonders, and rich energy sector history.

[Josh Layl]

Yo, shout out to everybody who lives in Oklahoma, because that's a choice, and it's. It's a good choice if you're into Oklahoma. And I'm not mad at it. Like, that's sick.

[Sebastian Robles]

Wow, there's, like, water there.

[Jessica]

This looks like San Antonio.

[Josh Layl]

San Antonio.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, it looks. Is that not. Oh, wow. It's very similar. That's where we had lunch.

[Josh Layl]

Huh?

[Sebastian Robles]

Sick.

[Josh Layl]

It's like the TikTok. Like, I feel like I'm in Italy.

[Jessica]

Yeah, very cool.

[Sebastian Robles]

That is cool.

[Josh Layl]

See, Oklahoma's lit, man.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. I mean, their basketball team is always money.

[Josh Layl]

Their football team, Oklahoma Sooners, they're sick.

[Sebastian Robles]

Okay, so I got that one, right? Hell, yeah.

[Jessica]

Okay, next up. Now, wait. I asked you, first of us, what's the largest continent on Earth?

[Sebastian Robles]

On Earth? I think it's Asia.

[Jessica]

Final answer.

[Sebastian Robles]

I'll go with Asia.

[Jessica]

Josh.

[Josh Layl]

Africa.

[Sebastian Robles]

Ah. Africa looks bigger, but how much?

[Josh Layl]

What's the difference?

[Jessica]

Great question.

[Josh Layl]

Josh. Needs facts for these answers. I'm just curious, like, how big of a difference is it?

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, it's. I feel like it's not quite crazy.

[Josh Layl]

I don't think it's crazy. Have you ever seen, like, where people say that the map is, like, not an accurate representation of how these continents are? Yeah, like, Africa is, like, way bigger

[Sebastian Robles]

than what it looks like.

[Jessica]

Yeah. Oh, so according to this quick image search from Reddit, Asia spans.

[Josh Layl]

Wait, wait.

[Sebastian Robles]

Africa.

[Jessica]

Wait.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, Africa is bigger.

[Jessica]

Hold up, hold up. Huh? Maybe just. What?

[Josh Layl]

I think you got the wrong answer, Jess.

[Jessica]

Listen,

[Josh Layl]

do a quick Google search right here in front of me.

[Jessica]

How cheaters is Asia compared to Africa? Asia is the largest continent in the world, measuring roughly 44.6 million square kilometers. Africa is the second largest, covering about 30.3 million square.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, I mean, that's pretty. It doesn't sound like a lot, but That's a lot.

[Jessica]

Yeah, it's like 14 million square kilometers of a difference.

[Josh Layl]

Damn.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, bro. Asia is massive, bro. And, like, people don't realize. And, like. Because I didn't either. Like, Like, Asia holds a lot of places that, like, we didn't think it would hold, if that makes any sense now. Okay, move forward.

[Jessica]

But, Josh, I have seen that map that you're talking about where it. Like, because the one that we look at now is mainly focusing on the countries in the Northern hemisphere, and that's strategic to make us look bigger and more advanced and give us visually more power. But scale wise, like, South America is so much bigger than North America, especially the States. Yeah, but, you know.

[Josh Layl]

You know, what gives me. This is, like, kind of sidebar, but, like, what gives me, like, comfort a little bit is, like, where we're located, the fact that we have, like, two bodies of water like, next to us, like a protection. Because imagine, like, when you have, like, when there's, like, wars, like, in Europe, Middle east, like, dude, like, you're in it, like, and no matter, like, you're so close. But versus, like, us, like, the only countries we have is Canada, which they're sweethearts, and Mexico. It's. They're awesome. So it's like, there's never really gonna be, like, anything crazy, hopefully. But damn, like, on that side of the world, like, they're all. Dude, you can. They can get their countries invaded.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's almost like they all share the same sky.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. It's crazy. It's kind of scary.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

But also. But also really beautiful at the same time.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. It's one of those things where it's like, if you're in Italy, you can immediately go to France. France. Immediately from France, you can go to London.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

You know, it's beautiful. And it's. It's so diverse. You know what I mean? Like, from 45 minutes on a flight to another 45 minute flight, you're in a completely different world.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's beautiful. It's super sick.

[Jessica]

Different languages, different everything. Okay, now, Josh, this is a question for you. Yeah. What do plants use sunlight to make? This is. I'm not gonna lie. This one's kind of hard.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's easy.

[Josh Layl]

What do plants use sunlight to make?

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, easy.

[Josh Layl]

Plants like plantas.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Can you use it in a sentence? What do plants use?

[Sebastian Robles]

Wait, what do plants use sunlight to make?

[Josh Layl]

Is it.

[Sebastian Robles]

Is it. Why do plants use sunlight? No, what do plants. Oh, I get it. What do plants use sunlight to make?

[Josh Layl]

I. I honestly have no idea. Pollen.

[Sebastian Robles]

Can I just say something? No, wait. I don't know. I'm confused by how it's written.

[Josh Layl]

What do plants make? Something. And they get that resource from the sun. Something complicated.

[Sebastian Robles]

Is it. Is it photosynthesis?

[Jessica]

So that's the process, but the process gives you two products. Photosynthesis. A plant photosynthesis. Photosynthesizing.

[Sebastian Robles]

Okay.

[Josh Layl]

Releases two things and which is caused by the sun.

[Jessica]

Correct. So sunlight is the reason why photosynthesis can happen. Plants need sunlight to be able to have that, to be able to do that. And so, like, at the end of that process, what do they release or what do they create?

[Josh Layl]

Oxygen.

[Sebastian Robles]

Oxygen.

[Jessica]

Yes. Oxygen is one of them. The one that I had written down on here is glucose. But oxygen is also.

[Josh Layl]

What does glucose do?

[Jessica]

Glucose is. It's a sugar that fuels the plant's growth.

[Sebastian Robles]

Sick.

[Josh Layl]

Whoa. So it's like glucose, like how human glucose?

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Wow.

[Jessica]

So it's like what they use to be able to grow, and oxygen is their waste product.

[Josh Layl]

That's their release.

[Jessica]

Yeah, basically.

[Josh Layl]

Damn, that's sick.

[Jessica]

Yeah,

[Sebastian Robles]

I'm glucose free, baby. Mm.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Okay.

[Josh Layl]

Like that.

[Jessica]

Sebast, how many bones are in the human body?

[Josh Layl]

This one's hard because it's very specific.

[Jessica]

I think we. I asked you guys this one when the foods were here.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

Hey, shout out to the foods and medicine. Irvin also just graduated.

[Josh Layl]

That's crazy. Yeah. He's a doctor.

[Jessica]

Yes.

[Sebastian Robles]

Great.

[Josh Layl]

That's crazy, man. We got to get him back on the pod.

[Jessica]

I know. Tell him.

[Sebastian Robles]

I told him already. I'm like, you're going to hook it up with the medical bill or what?

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. This is your answer?

[Sebastian Robles]

S. Honestly, I'm just going to throw. I know it's a specific number. I don't remember. 571.

[Jessica]

Okay. Sorry.

[Josh Layl]

No, it's way less than that. I think it's like 186 or something.

[Jessica]

Josh was closer. It's 200.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, wow.

[Sebastian Robles]

That was 206. Are individual teeth considered bones?

[Josh Layl]

That's a good question. I don't know.

[Sebastian Robles]

And then some. Some. Some humans are born with more or less bones, right?

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. Oh, no. They don't consider it a bone.

[Sebastian Robles]

No, see, they're not. Do not count as bones.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Okay. They're an owl. They're

[Jessica]

interesting.

[Sebastian Robles]

If you have 206 bones as a male and then you have a boner, do you have 207?

[Josh Layl]

I'm gonna go with yes.

[Sebastian Robles]

All right. Did you.

[Josh Layl]

I'm gonna get.

[Sebastian Robles]

Is that right? No, we both got it wrong. Okay, what's the next one?

[Jessica]

Josh? What's the difference between there, there, and there?

[Josh Layl]

There is, like, possession. The first one.

[Jessica]

Huh.

[Josh Layl]

The second one is like, location.

[Jessica]

Okay.

[Josh Layl]

And then the other one is like. Like, they are.

[Jessica]

Okay, Josh.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, I go with Josh.

[Jessica]

That is correct.

[Josh Layl]

Their possession place. Yeah, they are.

[Sebastian Robles]

Oh, and God, people love to correct you on Instagram.

[Josh Layl]

Well, also, you know what's funny? The there. I let it slide because I don't know why that one doesn't bug me as much. The one that bugs me is the your. The your is the one that bugs me, like, Y O, U, R E versus Y O, U, R. Because I'm like, that's easy. The. There. There's three options. I get it. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Sebastian Robles]

But, like, you know. Yeah, I just write D E, R now. Dare.

[Josh Layl]

I'm in there.

[Sebastian Robles]

I'm in there, baby. So no one can correct me anymore.

[Josh Layl]

That's actually. That's actually a good move, bro.

[Sebastian Robles]

Because, bro, like, sometimes you just write out and whether you put, like, dirt.

[Josh Layl]

Right? Like dirt.

[Sebastian Robles]

Like, dare. Yeah, sometimes I just, like, write out I'm God for G, you know? I don't got time to do that.

[Jessica]

All righty, SaaS. Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?

[Sebastian Robles]

Both weigh the same.

[Jessica]

Okay.

[Josh Layl]

Period. Trick question. Trick question.

[Jessica]

Josh.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

What is the longest river in the world?

[Josh Layl]

I mean, it has to be the Nile.

[Sebastian Robles]

No. No, it's not. Yeah, it is.

[Jessica]

That is correct.

[Sebastian Robles]

The Nile River.

[Jessica]

Congratulations. You guys passed fifth grade.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, barely.

[Sebastian Robles]

Like, C minus. C minus.

[Josh Layl]

Can we do a walk? A fake walk right now? You know what?

[Sebastian Robles]

The score that we got right now is the exact same scores that we would have had in high school.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, we're.

[Sebastian Robles]

See, boys.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, but those are fun. Like, I didn't have that much fun in middle school, and I was, like, learning this stuff. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, I had a great time learning that. Like, that was exhilarating.

[Sebastian Robles]

Or when you're older, it's like, you care more about stuff like that.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, that's true. That's true.

[Sebastian Robles]

When you're like, now, you just want to. You just care about, like, I want to text my friends and talk about the new Kanye west album.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

And, yo, you know, you got. You got money on a sack tonight, or was that just me?

[Josh Layl]

On what?

[Sebastian Robles]

On a sack, the basketball team.

[Josh Layl]

Oh, you got money on a sack.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. You got money on sack.

[Josh Layl]

Like a bag of weed.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, sack of weed. A sack of Julia, you know, Sack of Jueah is.

[Jessica]

Oh, yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. That's what you call it? Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

I never kicked it with that.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, y' all trying to. Y' all trying to kick it with Sacagawea.

[Josh Layl]

You're smoking weed in middle school and in high school. In middle school is kind of crazy. Think about a middle schooler right now smoking weed.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, but, you know, a mill scooter or Norwalk Middle Scooter. A middle schooler in Norwalk is different than a middle schooler in Cerritos.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Weed.

[Josh Layl]

Like, you up mentally, right? Like, I think if you're smoking weed at a very young age, it can have, like, pretty, like, severe consequences.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Mind you, I wasn't smoking a lot in high school.

[Josh Layl]

It was, you got money.

[Sebastian Robles]

And then I started getting panic attacks and I stopped completely cold turkey.

[Josh Layl]

Isn't it funny? You would discover a new word, like, you got money for a sack. And then, like, that was the thing you had to say. Like, you couldn't say, like, do you have money for weed? Like, you have to say, yeah, I got money for the set. Like, you know what I mean? That's like. And that was a very pretty cool. And that was very important in middle school. Like, you gotta hit the, bro.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. Trying to get a sack.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

I'm like, let me see if I can get some money. Like, five bucks, bro. I would put five bucks, 20 bucks for a sack. Awesome. Bunk ash. Bunk ass stuff. Go ahead, Jesse.

[Jessica]

According to Google's AI, smoking cannabis during childhood and adolescence significantly disrupts the brain's natural development. Consequences include permanent IQ loss up to eight points, which also. How do you measure that? Impaired memory and learning, and increased risk for psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia, and a higher likelihood of developing a lifelong addiction.

[Josh Layl]

Kids don't smoke weed at a young age. That's bad, bro. That's like. That's crazy. That is crazy. It's crazy how, like, now, because of information and science and research and stuff, you can just, like, look this up. But, like, back then, like, you didn't really, like, think about, like, that. But now I even. They even talk about, like, the new generation. They're not drinking as much because they understand the consequences. Like, that's crazy because they have access to information and they're like, oh, this is really bad. You know what I mean? And they even. There's even speculation, bro, that they're saying, like, in 20 years from now, like, we're gonna look at drinking like we did smoking back in the. Like, people used to. They used to advertise cigarettes, right? Like, the doctors, like, two cigarettes a day will cure your cancer away. I swear to God, it was crazy. And, you know, obviously they found out that it causes cancer. Not exactly that, but sure. Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Well, I feel like that's only in the United States. When you travel the world, they still. Cigarettes is a. It's a crazy thing.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

Look like cigarettes is. Is a lifestyle out there, bro.

[Josh Layl]

They used to get doctors to say that cigarettes are good. That's insane. But mind you, they just lacked information and everything was just driven by money. So it was just like, I'm sure

[Sebastian Robles]

maybe makes you think what's okay in our eyes now. Yeah. And what won't be.

[Josh Layl]

Well, that's my point. That's the whole drinking thing that they're saying, like in 20, 50 years they're gonna be like, bro, I can't believe people used to like, drink. Like, that's crazy.

[Sebastian Robles]

Hopefully it's not like that for like diet sodas.

[Josh Layl]

No, cuz Diet Coke has been around for how long? Jess, how long has Diet Coke been around? Diet Coke's been around forever, bro.

[Sebastian Robles]

And I think that that was, that

[Josh Layl]

was like one of the first like zero sugar. I think it might have been the first. Zero sugar.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

Coca Light.

[Jessica]

Yeah. 43 years old.

[Josh Layl]

That's actually not that old.

[Jessica]

The iconic zero calorie beverage was officially unveiled by the Coca Cola Company on July 8, 19.

[Josh Layl]

Okay, that's scary because we don't have long term research then, bro. I think creatine has been longer than a Diet Coke. Look up creatine. Sorry, Justin. Like, how long is. Just say, like, how long has creatine been around?

[Sebastian Robles]

1832.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, bro. So now we have like actual research of hundreds of 100 years. Plus two.

[Jessica]

Almost.

[Josh Layl]

Almost two. So Coke 42, that's nothing.

[Sebastian Robles]

But it's Coke. Is. Is Diet Coke the first ever diet soda?

[Josh Layl]

Yeah, probably. Or. Oh, that's a good question.

[Sebastian Robles]

Right. Because we're determining that on like diet. On Coke. Coke being the first. But is it?

[Jessica]

No.

[Josh Layl]

Okay.

[Jessica]

That title belongs to no calorie ginger ale created in 1950.

[Josh Layl]

That's not that much longer, bro. Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

At all.

[Josh Layl]

Okay, that is a little worrisome. I know they've done like, you know, research and, and stuff, and they, they, they don't link anything to like artificial sweeteners.

[Sebastian Robles]

Sure.

[Josh Layl]

They actually said that you're more likely to get like water poisoning before you actually suffer from like too much artificial sweetener. But mind you, I don't know.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It always makes me wonder, like, what, what, what is going on right now that we continuously do that. We, like, it may not be alcohol or anything, but it's like in 30, 40 years, something that might affect us in our health, I honestly think for

[Josh Layl]

me is going to be the drinking. What were you saying?

[Jessica]

Fillers. Fillers and stuff. I feel like that's what we're starting to see things come out.

[Josh Layl]

But like Botox and Stuff too.

[Jessica]

I don't know about Botox, like that's this whole thing, but like fillers. And again, I feel like that information has already been changing in the last few years. And so compared to like what people were being told when it became super popular. So it's just.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, it's also like that type of filler was like the first. So they just like progress it and make it better and like more, I guess, healthier for. I don't know, you know what I mean? Yeah, so. But yeah, definitely. Congratulations to everybody graduating this year.

[Josh Layl]

Yep.

[Sebastian Robles]

I just want to do a huge shout out to everybody who's following. Who's been following la platica for such a long, long ass time. Congratulations to you guys. First and foremost, a special congratulations to my little sister, Nicole Sophia. If you guys don't know, my sister is graduating from UC Davis. I believe like in. She's like a scientist. I think she graduates like neurology. And if you guys didn't know, my sister had a horrible accident about. Which is an amazing story, sad story, but an amazing story. But my sister grad, she got a brain hemorrhage and she almost passed away. Honestly, like just straight up being like straight up. So it, it's crazy how she was studying neurology and she gets a brain hemorrhage, recovers miracle, and still is so determined to go back to school when her whole life flipped upside down. And a lot of people, you might hear me talk about it, but it was really bad. Right. And it not only just her up, but it drastically changed her life.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

But to still have the determination to come back to school, the same school and come back not the same person to graduate with like A's and like, it's a miracle. And I thank God that, that she's. She's okay and that she's able to graduate. So congratulations to you. If you're watching this, bro, that. That's to my sister.

[Josh Layl]

That's insane. Yeah. Let's give a round of applause for it because Y1 bro, they need to write a book. She needs to write a book. That's an incredible story. And the fact that she overcame that and that's just gonna be more impactful for like the future people that she treats. Like she went through some. Something really severe. So her, her way to be able to like relate to somebody on like a level like that is gonna be crazy.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, I forgot.

[Josh Layl]

Does that make sense? Yeah. Somebody going, that's gonna be insane.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's crazy, bro.

[Josh Layl]

Imagine somebody fearing their life because they went through something. She can tell that story. Like, she overcame. It just gives people so much hope. That's what I'm saying. Like, the. The beam of light. She's going to be for people, the light of hope. Like, she's going to be that. She's going to be a beacon of hope.

[Jessica]

She's going to be able to, like, empathize with their process.

[Josh Layl]

That's what I meant. I didn't graduate fifth grade.

[Jessica]

No, no, no, no. But going off of, like, what you're saying, like, it's going to be a little bit different perspective than just knowing the mechanics of it as a doctor, as a practitioner, you know what I mean?

[Josh Layl]

She had to go through stuff. Right. Like, I'm sure she was on medication. And what it did to her emotionally, like, this. It goes. It's so deep. Right. That only she will understand, which is really cool.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, it's a. It's definitely a crazy, sad, but very uplifting story that she has. That. That what. What she went through. It was crazy, bro. Super crazy. Almost lost my sister. She goes into a coma. Coma for a couple days. And, you know, the doctor's just like, we. You know, she had a very. I forgot what it was called. It was like m. Something. It was like. So it's a rare case that. That people get where your veins in your brain are just kind of like a ticking time bomb. So eventually they pop, causing a hemorrhage.

[Josh Layl]

Scary, man.

[Sebastian Robles]

And, like, if that would happen to your arm, your arm would kind of like, inflate. Right. But when it happens in your skull, there's nowhere to inflate because your skull's very hard. Right. So what happens, it just pushes the brain and causes a lot of damage. They had to take, like, a big chunk out of her brain.

[Josh Layl]

That's a scary thing because it's a kind of like. It's unexpected and it's almost essentially inevitable that something like that can just happen to you because. And it can happen at any moment. That's what's really scary.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah.

[Josh Layl]

And there's people who. Your sister is a, you know, a very, like, lucky story.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah. And there's people that.

[Josh Layl]

Because people die.

[Sebastian Robles]

Yeah, people die. People die. People, they don't come out the same. They can come paralyzed. They can come blind from one side of the eye. They can become vegetables, a lot of them. You know, and that's the scary part is that when, you know, that happened to my sister, the doctors were just kind of like, we. We don't know what's going to happen until she wakes up. You know, we can work on the brain and what. We know what to do, but at the end of the day, it's all up to her.

[Josh Layl]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Robles]

And, you know, she woke up and she was there. She was good.

[Josh Layl]

That's. That's a beautiful story, man. I love it.

[Sebastian Robles]

It's crazy, but, yeah. So congratulations to everybody graduating.
