All right, I know my audience and I know my guests. The Arnold Classic was this weekend. Oh, and we've got some real specimens. I thought Shannon could weigh in as well because Shannon likes a nice buff man. Oh, Oscar, I don't know how you're going to feel about some of these. Gentlemen. I'm going to take a wild guess and say not the most natty.
Doug Urim
I don't know some of them. If you put in a lot of work and consume a lot of calories, you can get that.
Zach Amico
Well, let's see. Let's take a look at the winner. Nick Walker, Natural, no steroids. This is Nick Walker, natural man. Of course, I thought he was AI and I had Shannon look it up.
Oscar Aiden
No, that's how they.
Shannon
I didn't even need to look it up. I already knew he was real. I. I just followed his Instagram.
Doug Urim
Yeah, completely natural man. Dude, you could get. You could achieve that with the right amount of calories and creatine.
Zach Amico
Dude, when you see him Spread his back. It's like somebody unfurling a map.
Doug Urim
Yeah, dude. What the.
Zach Amico
Even with drugs. That's insane.
Doug Urim
Yeah, dude. To get your lower back like that, that's the hardest part.
Zach Amico
The Christmas back, this. I didn't even know the lat spread. I didn't even know those were. You had those?
Doug Urim
Yeah, yeah, dude. These guys are fucking. You know what's going on with bodybuilding nowadays is that all these dudes are like very young. They're in their 20s and shit like that. Like, that guy is probably like 28 years old and he looks 50. Is that they're blasting so much gear that these guys are dying in their 20s. There's this one Russian guy who takes 120iu's of growth hormones a day and the average is supposed to be 10. And he had a heart attack at 18.
Oscar Aiden
Now, well, you know what's happening is some of these. Did you see that?
Doug Urim
What was it?
Oscar Aiden
There was a clip or a picture of a bodybuilder recently who was walking around with a cane because he was so like. Like, he was probably like in his 40s.
Doug Urim
That's him. That's who I'm talking.
Oscar Aiden
No, no, no. This guy is older, though. Like, he's like. He's like in his 40s, but he looks like. It's like an old Mr. World Title. Shannon. I don't know if it's something you can find, but it's like Ronnie Coleman. I don't know. He's like an older black guy.
Zach Amico
Oh, yeah.
Doug Urim
It.
Oscar Aiden
And then all of a sudden, now you see him walking around with like crutches because he can't. His body doesn't know how to walk that night.
Zach Amico
You can't make test anymore. Like, once you blast yourself like that, your body stops making it on its own, right?
Doug Urim
Well, the thing with him is that he would go. There's those videos of him squatting 800 pounds and he's leg pressing over a thousand, right? He's deadlifting750. He said that he would feel pain in his back and just take painkillers and keep fucking training. And they ask him, like, do you have any regrets? And he goes, my only regret is that I think I could have gotten about another two reps on the 800 pounds.
Zach Amico
That's why I regret.
Doug Urim
That's how he talks. He's a giant dude who talks like Oscar.
Zach Amico
Now, I do want to note. Let's bring up. Let's bring Nick Walker back up before we're done with him. I do want to note Shannon, play Nick again, please, if you can. Look at that. Little pee pee.
Doug Urim
Or is it little in comparison?
Zach Amico
I don't. So there's sack there, but as far as dick, it might be just on his giant body. But, Shannon, you've had experience with men. Not this large, but, you know, I've dated bodybuilders before. What's the penis sitch?
Shannon
It's not like a. It's not anything. I think that directly correlates with them being a bodybuilder because, like, all the stuff that they take affects testicle size, not penis size.
Zach Amico
So you had some men with tiny balls.
Shannon
Yeah, And I don't mind. I don't. Who cares about that part?
Zach Amico
Yeah. You're not a ball girl.
Shannon
No.
Zach Amico
Well, so, yeah, we have the other gentleman. Shannon, do you want to bring up some others and rank them for us?
Doug Urim
Sure.
Shannon
So I felt like it would only be respectful to include Ronnie Coleman because he won Mr. Olympia eight times in a row. So I brought up. This is him posing for Mr. Olympia in 2005.
Oscar Aiden
Ronald Dean Coleman.
Zach Amico
I was gonna make a Lion King joke and he came out to the Lion King music.
Doug Urim
He was only 5:11, dude.
Shannon
And he's like one of the tallest ones.
Doug Urim
Yeah, this is his. Yeah, Jay Cutler's only like five six, five seven.
Shannon
And that Nick guy, five seven. Yeah, I'll skip forward a little bit.
Doug Urim
The thing with him is that he wasn't like. He wasn't as symmetrical as like Arnold was. And she was just giant.
Oscar Aiden
Well, let me ask you this, hold on, let me ask you this. What's a normal testosterone level for a man?
Doug Urim
What age?
Oscar Aiden
Like in their, like mid-30s.
Doug Urim
Well, that's the thing. It's like you can't go by nowadays because they have a range of anywhere from 970 to 300, which. 300 is ridiculous. That is like a pre pubescent boy. But they call that low average, which is ridiculous. Your body doesn't function well with 300 levels of testosterone.
Zach Amico
If I, I believe. Didn't they say that the average like 70 year old now has more testosterone than the average 25 year old?
Doug Urim
Well, yeah, those guys, like they said. And again, how we even know that? I have no idea.
Zach Amico
We're not making it the way we used to.
Doug Urim
Yeah, pretty much. Because those guys did physical labor. Their food wasn't poison. They didn't have. They weren't stationary. You keep moving. Those guys were strong. Also, like, you saw a guy who's 165 pounds and his job was lifting up 100 pound bags of fudgeing wheat every day.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
That's what he was. Somehow he was a lot stronger.
Oscar Aiden
Well, let me. Because I went to the doctor.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
And he. Because I was like, well, why don't you check my testosterone? Because I was trying to put on, like, muscle. And he checked it, and he was like, you're quite high. And I was like, well, what's high? And he was like, 980.
Doug Urim
Yeah, it's great. That's. That's very good.
Oscar Aiden
Okay.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
Is that also what just makes me horny all the time?
Doug Urim
Yeah. Yeah. Also when you're. When you're. When your hormones go down and shit. Oscar's got bigger hands than I.
Oscar Aiden
Actually, we don't. I think you have bigger hands than I do.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
A little bit.
Oscar Aiden
Your hands are thicker.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And that's what's really important sometimes.
Doug Urim
That is true. Thumb in the butt. Yeah.
Zach Amico
Some of us have hormonal issues and had some very sad meetings with the doctor about the tea.
Oscar Aiden
What did they tell you?
Zach Amico
We'll do it off air. Okay. But someone's had some issues lately. Someone found out a lot of reasons why.
Doug Urim
Oh, no.
Zach Amico
Why they gained weight and why they've had some medical issues.
Doug Urim
Oh, no.
Zach Amico
If you want to. If you want to go to the world's saddest, saddest fertility clinic meeting and watch. Watch an Indian guy show me a chart and then show me where I am. It was like when Homer Simpson got his sperm tested.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And there was just, like three crashing into each other.
Doug Urim
Now let me show you what the problem is here.
Zach Amico
It was not good.
Doug Urim
You make one sperm a day.
Zach Amico
Oh, boy. Yes. I make tiny clumsies. Shannon. Let's see our next. Our next gentleman.
Shannon
Okay. These are all classic guys. Yeah. So the next one. This is Dorian Yates.
Doug Urim
Dorian Yates.
Zach Amico
This is more your flavor, right?
Shannon
Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's a taller.
Doug Urim
The first ever mass monster was.
Oscar Aiden
But let me ask you something. Why does their face look like that?
Shannon
Well, because they're so gaunt. They're also, like, very gaunt when they're preparing to be on stage. They're dehydrated. They're starving.
Doug Urim
Yeah. That's why some of them pass out backstage, because symmetry.
Zach Amico
They're super dehydrated, right?
Doug Urim
Yeah. Because you. That's how you see all the symmetrical lines is to dehydrate yourself and make your Thin. Your skin as thin as possible.
Oscar Aiden
And did he win?
Doug Urim
Yeah. Yeah, dude. He was, like, one of the first ever mass monsters like this. He was the first one to start lifting heavy, low reps. He created pretty much he opened the door for the bodybuilders you see now. But now he regrets being that big. Look at that. That's insane, man.
Zach Amico
I've heard stories of the really big wrestlers, like the big body guys in their 30s and early 40s. Like, if they drop something, like, if they drop their hotel key, you got to get somebody to get it.
Doug Urim
Yeah. They were fucked, man.
Zach Amico
Like, they can't bend over and get it.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Between injuries and they're just so big, they can't.
Oscar Aiden
Like, how do you wipe?
Zach Amico
I wonder that.
Doug Urim
What for day?
Zach Amico
I'll tell you from personal experience. You learn your angles.
Doug Urim
You put toilet paper on the doorknob and rub your ass on it like a grizzly bear.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
That's a good one. You learn to kind of, like, swoop.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
You learned. You kind of like Bob Kelly said once that you learned to dislocate your arm and use it like a crane.
Doug Urim
Do you have to stretch before taking a shit? So you're nice and limber?
Zach Amico
See, what I actually have water on my toilet is to the right of my sink. If I'm in a hotel room where it's the opposite, I actually have it. I have to move because I need to. I like to have my hand up on the sink.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
So I can kind of, like, get in there. Yeah. I can kind of, like contort.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
If I'm in the road and it's the other way around, I like to actually get up and put my foot on the tub.
Doug Urim
That's what I was just gonna ask. Do you ever put your foot on the tub so you could get really nice in there?
Zach Amico
Foot on the tub. And occasionally just take one of the washcloths, really? And then throw it in the garbage. Just throw it right in the garbage.
Doug Urim
I would hide it under the bed and then watch housekeeping Flip the fuck.
Zach Amico
I've done enough to those poor women. Hey, guys. Today's episode is brought to you by ycratom.com home of the $60 kilo. If you do kratom for one of its many benefits, this is where you got to get it.

Doug Urim
Ah, dude, Lou Ferrigno traps were better than any of the fucking guys. Like, past him.
Zach Amico
Look at him.
Doug Urim
Look at those traps, dude. That's insane.
Zach Amico
Now, is he bigger than Schwarzenegger here?
Doug Urim
Nah, Schwarzenegger was taller. He had longer muscles. And Schwarzenegger's symmetry was insane, man. Did you ever see Schwarzenegger's double biceps?
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah.
Doug Urim
It's almost exactly the same. His peaks were fucking nuts.
Zach Amico
And finally, we've got Gunter Schleierkamp.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, he was in Beer Fest. Was it Beer Fest?
Zach Amico
I can't remember.
Doug Urim
What's the name of that fucking movie?
Zach Amico
Probably Beer Fest. Right? The one where they would. Das Boot.
Doug Urim
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Beer Fest. Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
I just want to send this guy walking through a Hasidic neighborhood. Oh, no, they're back.
Doug Urim
Let's throw him to Lakewood, New Jersey. Get some of those houses free, huh?
Zach Amico
Yeah, send him to the Cars for kids.
Show Announcer
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Plant claim something. We know what you're up to. You.
Oscar Aiden
Let me ask you this, though. I understood. Let me ask you this. I understand. Obviously, their darker tone helps show off the muscles. But why the face, though?
Doug Urim
So they don't look like they guys are. They're not doing that anymore.
Shannon
Well, they're going to have a white face and a brown body.
Doug Urim
Yeah, it's going to. Crazy guys stop doing that because they started getting in trouble for blackface. It's like it's spray tan. What is the problem?
Zach Amico
Well, this isn't. This is like an orange more than a black. Some guys are, like, dark.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oscar Aiden
All right, Shannon, you've been with a few of these guys, and I. Let me tell you something. Being gay, I've also been with some men who have, you know, enjoyed the extracurricular activities. Their body smells different.
Doug Urim
Yeah, it's all the hormones.
Oscar Aiden
They have a. They have a distinct, like, men who are, like, on steroids or growth hormone. They have a certain, like, chemical smell.
Shannon
I know exactly what you're talking about. And it's like when they're, like, very sweaty, like right after the gym or something.
Oscar Aiden
Right. They have a very chemical smell to them. It's very interesting. Like that's why, like, when you go. If you go out dancing, like, and there's a lot of muscular, beefy, like, built gay men. And we're not talking, like, just athletic.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
You're talking, like, roided up. Roided up. Like, pumped up. You'll smell like. It starts to smell like a little chemically. Well, that's also probably because all the drugs they're doing. No shade. But that's just. Yeah. So. But yeah, there's. I. I've been with a few guys where I'm like, your body doesn't produce a sexy smell.
Doug Urim
Yeah, well, that's all the hormones because you're blasting, like, a ton of synthetic, so your body has to secrete.
Zach Amico
You smell like a horse.
Doug Urim
Yeah, exactly.
Show Announcer
Yeah.
Doug Urim
You smell like Pyomite.
Zach Amico
She was a beautiful animal. Shannon. Of all those. How do you rank them
Shannon
so that. I mean, the Gunther guy, I enjoy very much.
Doug Urim
Yeah, Gunther.
Shannon
I enjoy. I would say him first in here. I. I don't want to be accused of being racist by my listing here, but I would say Gunter first. Lou Ferrigno second.
Zach Amico
Where's Nick Walker go?
Shannon
I would say third.
Zach Amico
Nick Walker third.
Shannon
Yeah, he's like. He's probably the shortest of all them. He's only five seconds.
Zach Amico
Still about height. God bless.
Doug Urim
Son of a.
Zach Amico
You know what?
Oscar Aiden
I love a Lou Ferrigno, though. I love. I would do Lou Ferrigno even though he's deaf.
Doug Urim
Like, you want me, I go fuck me in the ass.
Oscar Aiden
Is he really deaf?
Zach Amico
Yes. Okay. You never notice when he talks now. I mean, he's pretty good. Yeah, he does a good job. But you can still tell he's got deaf voice.
Oscar Aiden
Well, is he. Has he always been that way?
Doug Urim
Yeah, he's born like that.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, yeah. He's still sexy.
Doug Urim
Yeah. But that would get annoying after a while.
Oscar Aiden
I mean, you can't hear me talk, so that's.
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah.
Doug Urim
No, not you. Him. Like, get. Every time you fight.
Zach Amico
It would feel like a waste as a comedian to have a deaf partner.
Doug Urim
It would. Yeah. At least they can hear all the bits you do about them. That's good.
Zach Amico
Yeah. But if you're watching a movie.
Oscar Aiden
Still here.
Zach Amico
No, no.
Doug Urim
He reads lips.
Oscar Aiden
Oh.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
That's why Shannon likes him so much. So I did have since around now. Now, I bet Shannon. I bet it's like a wisp of cotton candy. Shannon.
Doug Urim
No.
Zach Amico
Yeah. I bet Shannon's got a beautiful vagina. Oh, Shannon, I don't mean to offend you.
Doug Urim
Talk about.
Zach Amico
I bet it's very compact. I bet it's not lippy.
Oscar Aiden
What happened?
Zach Amico
I bet it's not lippy.
Doug Urim
No, I bet it.
Zach Amico
I bet it's like a paper cut.
Doug Urim
It's like. It's like an unused tire. It has all of its threads.
Zach Amico
Yeah, it still got threads.
Doug Urim
Yeah. There's no wear lines.
Zach Amico
Got a new store smell.
Doug Urim
Yeah, exactly.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Doug Urim
You could smell the rubber for days. Exactly.
Zach Amico
No offense, Shannon.
Doug Urim
No offense.
Shannon
Okay. And not that I'm changing the subject or anything, but Lou Ferrigno did have a cochlear implant in 2021, so he has much better hearing now.
Zach Amico
Oscar gave him a cochlear implant.
Oscar Aiden
I'll give you a cochlear implant.
Zach Amico
So I did. Since you're talking about Bodybuild, I do have two other videos I wanted to show Shannon. I'm sorry, did I send you the 8 year old girl that deadlifted 180 pounds?
Doug Urim
I just saw that.
Shannon
Yes.
Doug Urim
That's fucking wild.
Zach Amico
So I gotta tell you, man, they should be showing this in schools. Yeah, to let little girls know you
Doug Urim
could accomplish some 180 pound deadlift at 9.
Zach Amico
Look at this wild. Look at this killer. What is she gonna grow up to do?
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, but her body is already probably like not. That's not good for her.
Doug Urim
I don't think it is. It's not good for her hips, that's
Oscar Aiden
not good for her body, for her spirit spine, for anything.
Zach Amico
The weight belt doesn't even go around her.
Doug Urim
No, it's bigger than her torso. One thing I do like is that she's listening to AC dc. That's good.
Zach Amico
Look at this. This bad? Yeah.
Doug Urim
That's wild, man.
Oscar Aiden
Look at the knees. Oh, that's so bad for the knees.
Doug Urim
Yeah, her joints are gonna be.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I don't think any of the three of us could do this.
Doug Urim
What, the 180? Yeah.
Zach Amico
That lift 180?
Doug Urim
Yeah, I think so.
Zach Amico
I think I could have before I hurt my neck.
Doug Urim
Thing like that though. I only do the trap bar because I have herniated discs.
Zach Amico
Yeah, before I hurt my back, I might have been able to.
Doug Urim
Yeah, definitely. You could. I think you could.
Oscar Aiden
So you can't bend over?
Doug Urim
No.
Zach Amico
Damn.
Doug Urim
Now I'm out of. Oscar's fucking out of his top bar.
Zach Amico
Now you got to put your legs over you.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, no, I like it when they. I don't like it when guys bend over.
Doug Urim
Yeah, I don't either.
Zach Amico
Oh, you like it on the back?
Oscar Aiden
I like them kind of like. I kind of like that. I kind of like them laying flat on the Bed.
Doug Urim
That's so funny though. I mean, you just see a fucking cock flopping around like a fucking wind sock on a lighthouse. That's so silly.
Oscar Aiden
What?
Doug Urim
Like just seeing a cock.
Zach Amico
I remember I had a friend in what way?
Doug Urim
Position. You said on the back, right?
Oscar Aiden
No, on your. I want you face down.
Zach Amico
I believe it's called in straight porn. It's called the prone position. Oh, where the girl is flat on her tummy.
Doug Urim
Is that what that's called?
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
Oh, I see.
Zach Amico
That's your move, huh?
Oscar Aiden
Oh, I love that.
Doug Urim
I accidentally injured a girl in that same way. With her on her stomach.
Zach Amico
You slip.
Doug Urim
No, no, just like from the fucking trauma. Because your core is not supported. And she was a big gal, so probably not the strongest core strength. And you know, we're going at it
Zach Amico
and she just says, ow, ow, ow.
Doug Urim
And I go, what happened?
Zach Amico
She goes, my hip. I don't.
Doug Urim
She had to go to physical therapy.
Zach Amico
Good for you.
Doug Urim
But again, like, if it was an in shape girl, I'd feel more pride, but because it was some fat slob, I shut up. You know, she just didn't have the core strength. That could have easily happened, her getting out of bed.
Zach Amico
One of my friends in college, the first time he had sex with a guy, he was on his back and I was like, oh, it's so much gayer.
Doug Urim
Yeah, it is. That's what I was just.
Zach Amico
Than if you had just bit the pillow.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And like, let him do his business from behind.
Doug Urim
That's a lot gayer. Like you said, joystick.
Zach Amico
Like, what are you talking about? Your dick is between your bellies.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
What?
Doug Urim
Yeah, that's weird.
Oscar Aiden
You mean like if you're laying on your back.
Zach Amico
Yeah. And legs, legs over his legs, on his shoulders.
Doug Urim
Fucking floppy cops.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, no, I don't like that.
Doug Urim
See, not even Oscar likes that.
Oscar Aiden
No, I don't like that. I like standing up against a wall. Yeah, I think that's hot.
Doug Urim
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who's standing up against the wall?
Oscar Aiden
Like, you're standing up against the wall and I'm behind you. Like.
Zach Amico
Like prison shower.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, yeah.
Zach Amico
Or yeah, yeah. American History X.
Oscar Aiden
Or like laying down sideways.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
You're laying on your side, huh?
Zach Amico
I'm a big fan of sideways.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, I think sideways is hot.
Doug Urim
Sideways is fun.
Zach Amico
That's a good move.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah. Yeah, because it hits, but it hits places where you don't think that it'll hit.
Doug Urim
There's more to hitting an.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, yeah. You're trying to hit the prostate inevitably, right?
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
Jesus Christ.
Oscar Aiden
Well, you've never been fingered.
Zach Amico
What?
Oscar Aiden
You've never been finger.
Doug Urim
I had a Puerto Rican girl do it once.
Oscar Aiden
And you never got, like, did she do it while you were coming or.
Doug Urim
No, no, no. I was. She was blowing me, but I wasn't coming.
Oscar Aiden
Okay.
Doug Urim
But I always feel like I thought I had to shit on her fucking hand, and I felt bad. I'm like, what are you doing? Stop. Like, I don't want to see her pull out a hat on her fucking finger.
Oscar Aiden
Well, yeah, that's because you have to make sure that, you know, you're righty and nice and airy.
Doug Urim
Forget I'm. I don't have to worry about being ready for that, man. Like, so I don't.
Zach Amico
We're gonna.
Doug Urim
I don't think I'm ever thinking ever.
Oscar Aiden
Doug, we're gonna work on that.
Doug Urim
I'm good. I don't need to worry about being ready.
Zach Amico
I don't necessarily want a finger deep in my ass.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
What I want is the press on the tape.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, yeah. You should do it press on the tape.
Zach Amico
That to me. Yeah. Like, to like, a good amount of pressure under. But between the balls and asshole pushing up on the prostate, that's the load. That, to me, is like the power load.
Doug Urim
But here's the pro. And I don't know what this means medically. Anytime a girl has done that, I don't know why it hurts. Like, is my prostate swollen or some shit like that? Like, do I have some kind of fucking.
Zach Amico
So I used to wonder why after if, like, I had a lot of sex, I would feel like I had a pee all night.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And I think it's from having a swollen prostate.
Doug Urim
Oh, boy.
Zach Amico
But that hasn't been an issue. That hasn't been an issue in a long time, I promise.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah. The test results you just gave us. Thank you.
Zach Amico
After, I would just. I would feel like I couldn't sleep because I felt like I had a piss all night.
Doug Urim
Oh, damn, man. Well, they say, like, it's actually, like, healthy if you get your prostate milked. Isn't that fucking. Because there's fluid retention in it? I don't know.
Zach Amico
We'll find out.
Show Announcer
Doctor.
Doug Urim
Dr. Shannon, Dr. Oscar.
Oscar Aiden
I don't know. I don't have my. I don't get mine milked. I'm not into that gay shit. I don't do that. Out of here.
Zach Amico
Well, I did want to show one more what my favorite feat of strength. And I have to preface this with I am very biased because this is, I think, in the top five nicest most charismatic people I have ever spent a day with. There's a man by the name of Mark Henry.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
The world's strongest man professional wrestler.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Had a lovely day with him when I worked with him on a roast. Lights up a room like you would not believe.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Charming. Soft spoken.
Doug Urim
Well, yeah.
Zach Amico
Looks you in the. Looks you in the eye. Couldn't be nicer. And this is him, the first ever person to do the legendary Thomas Inch dumbbell with one hand.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, yeah, I did see that.
Zach Amico
So this was thought to be impossible. And he legitimately was considered the strongest man in the world.
Doug Urim
Yeah. At this point, my favorite story is when he went. He left the WWE to do that competition. And Vince goes, if you come in second, I can't have.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
The second strongest man.
Zach Amico
Yeah, you better win. So it's a combination of the weight of it and the thickness of the handle that makes it very, very hard.
Doug Urim
Look at that, man. That's crazy. What the.
Zach Amico
I intend to be the first man to clean the inch dumbbell. So that's just him lifting it now, Shannon, if you go forward to when he's in the hotel conference center, it'll be the second one. It's a challenge against history. There you go. Good. The smackdown, sugar. And now you'll see he does it. That was the warm up. It was a heavy one. The strongest man that ever lived. So I have to try everything that people have done, deemed.
Oscar Aiden
Look at all those white men.
Zach Amico
This looks like an auction.
Doug Urim
It does look like an auction.
Zach Amico
This visually is not good.
Doug Urim
This one here, he's the one you put behind the horse.
Zach Amico
This looks like what happens in the top floor of Anthony Kuma's house.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, my God.
Doug Urim
Do I hit $100? Jesus Christ, dude.
Zach Amico
350.
Doug Urim
Do I hear 350?
Zach Amico
And Chen, how heavy is that? Can you look up how heavy the Thomas Inch dumbbell is? Because technically it was. It was considered impossible because of the width of the bar and the weight. And I think somebody's done it since him, but I think he was a person that proved it was possible.
Shannon
Dude, that is £172.
Zach Amico
Jesus Christ.
Doug Urim
That's fucking wild.
Oscar Aiden
That's like me lifting like two of you.
Doug Urim
Yeah, that's like if you lifted 170 on a dumbbell that heavy.
Zach Amico
That's like if you lifted Doug over your head by his cock. Yeah, I could do it. Yeah, not with your mouth.
Doug Urim
With your hand.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, I actually probably my mouth would be stronger than my hand.
Doug Urim
Now watch my jaw. Strength ice skating poses. Spit them.
Oscar Aiden
Trust me, this mouth is strong.
Doug Urim
Catch a uvula in my foreskin.
Zach Amico
Well, Shannon, I hope you enjoyed our.
Oscar Aiden
Are you circumcised or uncircumcised?
Doug Urim
No, of course I'm circumcised.
Zach Amico
What am I, an animal?
Oscar Aiden
Don't be a bitch.
Doug Urim
Exactly. I'm circumcised.
Zach Amico
We have other stuff that's not staring at men, and I want to do this one first. We were talking about sending Gunther Schleierkamp over to. What was it, Lakewood? Well, I saw a video today and is. This is a sketch and I got fooled. I get it. But goddamn did it make me laugh. Shannon, can you bring up the Hasidic guy who ran out of gas?
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, this is great.
Zach Amico
This made me fuck. Douche.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, that's good. How are you gonna pay for this gas?
Zach Amico
2 bucks probably will fool in here. How much? 2 bucks will probably fit in here. So this very nice biker check. Now, if it turns on.
Oscar Aiden
All right, quickly, quickly. Go quickly. Go to the gas station.
Zach Amico
Burning gas, just sitting there. All right, now pay whatever you want. You don't want to run out of gas.
Doug Urim
Oh, my God. Every stereotype hitting that one. Jesus Christ Almighty. No. Even though I run out of gas, I'll go down the street.
Zach Amico
I've said on the show many times, I don't like people seeing me eat, and I don't want people to know. Yeah, if you're that guy and you got the curls and you got the thing and you got the voice and you know you're on camera, don't you just go, I'm gonna take the 45 cent hit on this. On this gas.
Oscar Aiden
You don't know. I don't know. I don't think he knows he was being filmed. I bet those were done with meta glasses.
Zach Amico
How could have been?
Doug Urim
No, he's a biker. He's got a GoPro on.
Oscar Aiden
He didn't know he was being filmed.
Zach Amico
But still, I still can't be worth.
Doug Urim
Can't be worth it, because being on Instagram is not worth 45 cents to those people. They would much rather be filmed in wastewater.
Zach Amico
Fucking nuts.
Doug Urim
Yeah.

He went to Shannon, what was the town in New York that it's all haseeds and they, they exposed like the welfare scams.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, yeah, I've been seeing that on.
Zach Amico
He went to, I believe Lakewood and another one.
Doug Urim
He did.
Zach Amico
Yeah. Now they're. They're onto him.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And they don't want him around. No, they're kicking him out.
Doug Urim
Dude, he was doing the. No, wait, no, that was Nick. I'm thinking of the dude who exposed Somalia. Yeah, so did not Nick.
Zach Amico
I know who you're thinking. Yeah, yeah, this the Minnesota daycares.
Doug Urim
Yeah, yeah.
Zach Amico
But yeah, he went and it's just like average of like 11 kids. Nobody works.
Doug Urim
It's fucking wild.
Zach Amico
The funniest is when he goes, how many people here do you think use snap and EBT? And the scenes are like 20, 30%. And then go talk to the black guy at the grocery store, he's like, how do people go?
Doug Urim
100% every single one. Yeah.
Zach Amico
I don't think I've ever seen a dollar in my cashier in my time being a cashier here in Lakewood, New Jersey.
Doug Urim
There has never been any jingling, any bill folds, nothing in here. It's all been digital, EBT and curls, dude. How fucking wild is that? And I know a real estate agent that has to deal with that. It is the fucking worst to deal with because they haggle over every little thing and this thing. Yeah, no, believe it or not. Believe it or not, they haggle over every little penny. Doesn't matter as long as they feel like they got something.
Zach Amico
When I used to work on the meat Truck. In my younger days when we would deliver to Arab delis.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
They would argue over like a two cents everything. Yeah, three cents.
Doug Urim
Dude. That's why I don't understand how they don't like each other. They're so similar in so many ways, from their religion to their attitude, and yet they don't like each other.
Oscar Aiden
Let me tell you something, though. I'm going to tell you something, all right? I know. First of all, haggling is not just a Middle Eastern thing. You do that everywhere. Yeah, everywhere except for Europe and in the US do you haggle a fucking price? Most of the time when you're in either Thailand or if you're in India. If you're India or if you're in, you know, in one of these countries, you're going to haggle if it's a street vendor or if it's. If you're buying something. Yeah. Okay, maybe the supermarkets. You really don't. But you still try and be like, come on, give me a better price.
Doug Urim
Well, yeah, I mean, well.
Oscar Aiden
And that's like, people are like so shocked by, like how they always haggle. I mean, like, how do you.
Zach Amico
This.
Oscar Aiden
How we. This is how we stay rich. Like, that's how you stay rich, by making sure that you're getting everywhere. I think sometimes Americans are the only ones who are like, yeah, I'll pay $17 for two chicken breasts where everybody else in the world is like, yeah, be fucking kidding me that those chicken breasts aren't even worth more than like $4.
Zach Amico
And I'm paying the same people that pay more for those chicken breasts because they were killed by a man with a magic hat.
Doug Urim
That's right. Yeah, you'll. They'll pay more. Forget halal. And then they'll pay more for kosher. But when it comes to anything else, they'll haggle every. And that's the thing. It's not so much like $17. It's like you're haggling over a quarter. 25 cents is the hill you're.
Zach Amico
I do love. I. I enjoy a good haggling.
Oscar Aiden
Well, I'll tell you this.
Doug Urim
I'll tell you.
Oscar Aiden
There was a video recently about a girl who guessed. I guess she's like, she's Muslim, but for iftar, she was going shopping and they were doing a kosher deli. I don't know if there's video of it, but she went into a kosher supermarket. A steak was a steak. Like, maybe what? Like, I don't know what's on. What's A. Like a regular steak that. At a restaurant.
Doug Urim
Eight ounce, like a filet mignon type stuff.
Oscar Aiden
Like a strip. Right. Like eight ounce strip steak, $96. 96 for a kosher.
Doug Urim
For.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, because it was kosher.
Doug Urim
See, that's what. That's what I'm talking about. You'll pay 90 for something.
Oscar Aiden
Kosher dollars.
Zach Amico
This might be my embarrassment over my cheapness. I love to haggle, but I wait for everyone else to leave the store.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Because I feel like it's rude to do it to the cashier in front of other people.
Doug Urim
Yeah, yeah, but see, but that's what I mean. Like, you have this humility. Them, they'll just haggle over a dog.
Zach Amico
I think it's cultural, though. Like, over there it's more accepted.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, it's. I think that's the thing.
Doug Urim
It's like, happen, like, oh, boy, here we go. He's going to haggle over.
Oscar Aiden
I think, like, here, like, you know, so many people who are immigrants, they come to America and then they're just like, well, I'm gonna do what I've known to do for hundreds of years. Whether. No, whether you're. It's Chinese culture or Middle Eastern culture. You know, it's like, they're gonna. They're gonna. They're not gonna.
Zach Amico
This is what I know as a man who has haggled a gallon of hot sauce from $25 down to seven.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Because I said, how many years? Okay, so what I always do, I do this at bodega's, where they have old merchandise that I could tell they're never getting rid of.
Doug Urim
Yeah. There's dust on it.
Zach Amico
Or I do it on the road when I go, because I like to go to, like, antique stores and comic book shops, love antique shores, and look at, like, vintage toys and shit.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And what I always go is, I go, how long has this been here?
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Who else is going? Like, if I'm in the middle of nowhere, I'm like, how many people? But the last time I did, I was like, how many people come in here going, do you have Toxic Crusaders action figures?
Doug Urim
Yeah. Yeah.
Zach Amico
In this fucking random town in fucking upstate New York, right? And I said to the guy, I was looking at this toy and he wanted, like, way too much for him, and I was like, buddy, how long have these been on your shelf? It's like a couple years. I'm like, so do you want to sell them or do you like having them?
Doug Urim
Yeah, but that's not shit.
Zach Amico
And I wait and I wait for everyone. Else to leave so that it's not embarrassing for me or him. And I go, listen, man, you own a store.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Are you showing me your toy collection?
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Or is this a business? Because I go to some comic book stores where I'm pretty sure that somebody's parents just gave their autistic kid a store so that he has a place to put his shit. That's not their house.
Doug Urim
Right.
Oscar Aiden
Well, I'll tell you, this
Doug Urim
never sells.
Oscar Aiden
When you go out antiquing, I'm so. People are like. I'm like, is that price negotiable? No. How long has that been sitting there? Yeah, there's a few stores in New York City where they'll have something like, I like a nice antique jewelry piece.
Doug Urim
Right.
Oscar Aiden
I don't mind a nice antique jewelry piece. So there's a store in New York City they say sell antique jewelry. It's located, like, in lower Chelsea. And a. Very nice. But here's the thing. I walked in there maybe six months ago, and I saw this bracelet. Gold bracelet, very nice, simple, just whatever. And they marked it at. I think it was, like, $1,800, which was completely overpriced. Never buy. Never buy gold or any diamonds from an actual store because you're paying for the overhead. You're not actually paying for the value of the market.
Doug Urim
Right.
Zach Amico
And if you resell it, you're just getting the value of the.
Oscar Aiden
Right. Exactly.
Doug Urim
Right.
Oscar Aiden
So I go in there. It was like, maybe six months ago, maybe more than that. And then I go back in, and I was like, oh, it's still here. I was like, is the price negotiable? No. Okay, well, it's still here. Do you want to get rid of it? I mean, you could. Listen, I. If you want to knock off 150, that's a sale. No. Okay. I guarantee you I'll go in there in another six months, and it'll still be there.
Doug Urim
And how much?
Oscar Aiden
And I never understood that.
Zach Amico
18.
Oscar Aiden
Just. Just sell the fucking thing. Like, sometimes you just got a bite. If someone's coming in and buying. Exactly to your point. If someone's coming in and showing interest in a product that you know has been on the shelf for a long time, sell the bitch. Just fucking sell it. You're waiting. You're waiting for a miracle. You're waiting. You're waiting for a sucker to come in and buy that at full price. And that's. I think the mentality is that I'm not like people who, like, haggle. It's not that we're cheap. It's just that I'm not going to be suckered into paying overpriced for something I know isn't worth that much.
Doug Urim
Right.
Zach Amico
It doesn't have sentimental value to you.
Oscar Aiden
Right. It doesn't have sentimental value. Now when I buy it and I want to sell it personally, I'm going to be like, all right. But even then I know, I'm like, okay. I expect people like I've sold things, like sold things online. I expect people to negotiate. If someone buys something right off the bat at the price that I've listed, I'm like, fucking sucker.
Doug Urim
You're a fucking idiot.
Oscar Aiden
Now I, I will be. I will, I will negotiate to an agreeable amount. I'm not going to just give it away. But if, if I'm selling for something for $100 and someone's like, I'll give you 80, I'll be like, all right, that question. Or they'll say like 75 and I'll be like 85.
Zach Amico
Can I ask your nationality?
Oscar Aiden
Well, I'm Turkish and then Az Iranian.
Zach Amico
Okay, you might not know the answer to this then, but. So I live in an all Middle Eastern neighborhood.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah,
Zach Amico
I guess they call it Mid Ridge now, but it's Bay Ridge, but towards the upper part before Sunset Park.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah.
Zach Amico
In the seven years I've lived there, every single store has closed and has reopened as an identical jewelry shop that I have never seen a human being enter or exit. They all have the exact same gaudy. I don't know if it's for weddings, like costume looking jewelry. I've never seen them open. I've never seen somebody come out with a bag. I've never seen people shop there and there's gotta be 30 of them in six blocks.
Doug Urim
That's money. That's.
Zach Amico
I know. That's laundering.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
What do you think there is it. Is that just Hamas money or is
Oscar Aiden
it drugs or is it speak to that? But I will say this though, if you go across. Sorry, if you go across these to like the Middle east in certain parts and it probably happens in, you know, I don't know if it's true for like, you know, African nations or in Asia, but I feel like it's true is that you will see rows and rows and rows of gold and diamond stores. Now those are usually always busy, but most of the time it's not. And a lot of times what it is is people are coming in and buying gifts or stuff like that. Remember if Bay Ridge, if my rent, let's say hypothetically, Speaking. My rent is only, what, $5,000 a month, and I sell two gold chains at $5,000 a month and I own the store. I'm most likely writing off electric, all of the utilities as write offs. So I'm getting. So I don't have to worry about that. That could be a partial explanation. And then maybe some things are happening that I don't know of and I can't say anything.
Zach Amico
Okay. Cause I just. It's very frustrating.
Oscar Aiden
It's the same thing. And it's not just that. It's bodegas. The same owners will close a bodega and then open another bodega right in the same. But it may have to do with filing for bankruptcy, just starting a new. Because what they'll do is they'll transfer the bodega. And that's something that you may not. That's something else is that I learned this recently is that one of the pizza shops in the West Village. So what happened is, is they actually just sell it to a family member and then the family member takes it over. And so, like, it now is now a different business. It looks like a different business, but it's actually still in the family. Okay. So it may be something like that where there may be an explanation where it's. It's not a new owner. It's just the another family.
Zach Amico
I'm just mad because I lost my beer store.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
It was perfect. It was across the street.
Oscar Aiden
Why don't you open one?
Zach Amico
What?
Oscar Aiden
Why don't you open one?
Zach Amico
I'm not opening a bodega.
Doug Urim
Get the fuck out of here.
Oscar Aiden
A beer store?
Zach Amico
No.
Oscar Aiden
Why not?
Zach Amico
Because I have a comedy career.
Oscar Aiden
All right, so do it on the side.
Zach Amico
No.
Doug Urim
Or you could have another money laundering scheme. Like them.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Doug Urim
To sell beer with a gold necklace and be like, you get the free gold necklace with these.
Zach Amico
I just missed it because it was perfect. It was one Mexican guy, he didn't speak any English. There was birds in there.
Doug Urim
Yeah. Cat.
Zach Amico
No cat. All birds. And then there would just be guys sitting in the back.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Eating their lunch. It was great. Everyone. No one spoke. Everything was ancient. And if I requested something, they would have it the next week.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
I'll tell you this. So if you ever get a chance to go to Turkey. Okay. If you ever get a chance to go to Turkey, the Middle east, anywhere outside of the US And Europe. Right. You'll see a lot of, like, stores. And when you look at them, you're like, how do these places stay in business? How do they stay A lot of it's government funded. A lot of people will get subsidies, I think, from my understanding. And it's not, don't, please don't quote me on this, but a lot of people will get subsidies or funding from the government to start a business. And it's a lot easier actually in the rest of the world to start a business than it is in America. Like if I wanted to go and just open up a business and the, the red tape isn't as bad as it is here. So that's why you'll see a lot of stores. They're open. They may not have any business, but they're open.
Zach Amico
Okay.
Doug Urim
There's a tiny mustache in the 30s in Germany that would do the same thing. Government subsidies for a business.
Zach Amico

So when you were talking about trading in for gold or getting gold for cash, Shannon, could you bring up. It was in China, right? The machine now that they have. Remember I saying we thought it was in Vegas, but then we found out it was a fake article. But they really do have that machine in China.
Shannon
Yes.
Doug Urim
Let's see.
Zach Amico
So originally the article we had read was that now Vegas had basically what was a vending machine that you could put your jewelry in. It would confirm whether or not it was real and give you the market price of gold or silver or whatever it was made of. So if you're gambling, you don't have to bother going to a pawn shop anymore. Yeah, but those machines they really now are putting in China.
Doug Urim
Look at that. God bless the Chinese.
Zach Amico
And you could read the purity on the screen and it literally melts it down right there. The Sci Fi Field, China's gold melting atm. Located in Shanghai malls. The ATM can melt your gold on the spot and transfer money to your account within 10 to 30 minutes.
Doug Urim
Oh boy. The government sees that this would be
Zach Amico
dangerous to have in Vegas, this would
Doug Urim
be dangerous to have anywhere in New York. Because then the chain snatchers and all that other bullshit, this is all they have to do. That's simple. No question.
Zach Amico
Maybe that's why they would.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah. I'm going to tell you something though. You'd listen. As someone who frequents gold shops, you're not gonna get much.
Zach Amico
Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
Like you're not gonna like this chain right here. Right here that I have on probably, if I can find it, this chain right here. The chain alone probably get me $20, $30. Now maybe a little bit more like maybe 60 or 70, because it's very lightweight. And right now, to sell gold, you're not getting anything. If I want to sell gold, I'm barely making enough. It's the people, it's the, it's that machine who's raking in the money. Like they're the ones that are, because you're not. Anybody who sells gold right now is. You know, who's. If I'm selling gold, I'm doing great. I'm doing great. If I'm buying gold.
Doug Urim
Jesus, wartime. The price of precious metals goes through the fucking roof.
Oscar Aiden
Well, it's crazy that lab grown diamonds are less expensive than gold is right now.
Doug Urim
Well, diamonds is that. It's that whole thing with the De Beers Company that they could flood the market. They hoard diamond. You've heard of them? Sure. Yeah. They could flood the market whenever they want with as many diamonds as they want. They hoard them and hoard them and then when the price drops, they flood the market. And then when it gets higher, they take some away. Typical fucking horseshit. So diamonds themselves aren't as valuable as you think they are.
Oscar Aiden
No.
Doug Urim
And, and this company, this, this family, that De Beers owns them all, so. And that's the same thing, like what you said in your, in your neighborhood, why these jewelry stores pop up. That's. It's the same thing with art. You can launder money through art. You could hike the fucking price up. Like the Joe Biden or Hunter Biden painting that wasn't worth what the fuck it was, but you could launder money through art because somebody's going to pay it. And especially if you're like some Russian oligarch or some bullshit like that. You pay this money. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. You bought this fucking portrait here. Now we're going to launder the money for you at whatever 20%, whatever they take to launder. It's the same thing with these jewelry stores. Is that like he said, you2 fucking people go in there, buy a chain and that's all you need. Whatever the amount that it is that you need laundered. I bought this. Your overhead. Yeah, yeah. I bought this diamond. Here's the money. Now go launder it for me. And that's all that is. That's how they stay in business with nobody going in there.
Oscar Aiden
And people are pissed about diamonds now because lab grown diamonds. Actually you can't tell the difference. You actually can't even tell the difference of zirconias. Honestly. The only time it actually. Oh, I'm aware.
Zach Amico
I'm well aware. Oh no. Never been questioned, Shannon. And I'm going to ask. I don't want to a. Shannon, I think we've had this discussion before. If you were to receive an engagement ring, would you get it valued?
Shannon
Yes.
Doug Urim
Yes.
Shannon
And that's for the purpose of insuring it. Yeah.
Doug Urim
Okay.
Shannon
Always a smart thing to do.
Zach Amico
What would be a minimum that you think an engagement ring should be or does it depend on what the guy makes?
Oscar Aiden
3 months salary?
Shannon
I think it depends.
Zach Amico
I think that 3 month salary thing is very antiquated.
Doug Urim
That's horse.
Zach Amico
Because that's from when people had money.
Doug Urim
Yeah, Yeah.
Oscar Aiden
I think $5,000 on it. Because let me tell you something here. Well, I'm going to tell you why. Well, you want to know why? Because you're not paying for the diamond, you're paying for the gold. Okay. So if you're smart, you're going to get a white gold band or platinum band, which is actually going to be cheaper, which allows you to pay more for the diamond. So the more gold you have, the less you're going to be able to afford on the diamond. The more platinum you have, the more you're going to be able to afford on the diamond. Shannon, am I wrong or is that. Do I feel like that's correct?
Doug Urim
I would trust a Turkish man with that advice. Yes, for sure.
Zach Amico
So my. The reason I think that three month salary thing is bullshit.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
I was reading a chart the other day that was like what a house cost as opposed to what people made. It used to be like three year salary.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And you could get a house. Now it's like 25 years salary.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah, that. That's all fucking nuts.
Zach Amico
So I feel like you have to shave off some time because now everything else is so expensive.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, well, that's the thing is, I mean, if you look at, if you were to really buy. Go out and buy an engagement ring, is anybody really looking at the gold? Is anybody really looking at the band? No, they're looking at the diamond.
Doug Urim
That's true.
Oscar Aiden
That's what they're looking at. They're like, oh, let me see the stone. No one has ever looked at a ring and been like, turn over, let me see the other side of that. No, because no one gives a fuck. They want to see the stone. So worry about the stone and what she likes. When it comes to that, then spending shit ton of money. And also, by the way, if for anybody that's thinking about it, no shade, but stop going to Tiffany. Stop going to all these places. All these places that are.
Doug Urim
You're.
Oscar Aiden
You're paying for the name. Now what you should do though, is when you buy an engagement ring is go to a trusted dealer who will give you a warranty on that ring. So that way if anything happens, you can take it back to them and then have it fixed or any issues like that. But you're paying for the. Just go to the diamond district. Everybody I know who. 90% of the people that are wearing Cartier bracelets bought them for half the price in the diamond district.
Zach Amico
Now is the theory that the engagement ring should be so much so that if anything ever happens, she can sell it and live off it for a little while?
Oscar Aiden
No, no, the engagement ring should be just enough where it. It's. No, the engagement ring should never be.
Zach Amico
Can I tell you what I spent on my wife so you can judge me?
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, yeah. If you say less than $2,000, I
Doug Urim
would just say 400.
Zach Amico
Seven.
Doug Urim
Seven. That a boy.
Oscar Aiden
Where did you buy it?
Doug Urim
That's true love.
Oscar Aiden
And is it diamonds?
Doug Urim
That's amazing.
Oscar Aiden
You know what, though?
Zach Amico
Go on Etsy and look up Cat engagement ring.
Oscar Aiden
But you know what, though? I'll tell you this. You know where people, you'd be surprised you can find some good jewelry. If anybody's ever looking for jewelry on this podcast. First dibs. First dibs. One STD for none of those.
Doug Urim
No, no.
Oscar Aiden
Is actually a great basic.
Zach Amico
It's. We go down.
Doug Urim
That's another thing that lasts forever. An std.
Zach Amico
It might be that one. Hold on, let me see that one.
Shannon
Sorry, it disappeared when I clicked on it.
Doug Urim
Wait, so is it real diamonds? I'm so confused. What Am I looking at it?
Zach Amico
Might be this one. Now go over to the right twice.
Doug Urim
This one, I could see that one.
Zach Amico
Similar to that.
Doug Urim
Looks like a cat's ears.
Zach Amico
Yeah. So she's got one diamond in the middle and then two little ones that are the ears.
Oscar Aiden
And they're diamonds.
Zach Amico
I think they're cubics,
Shannon
but these all say mo. Moite. Moite.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah.
Doug Urim
Oh, so it's worse.
Zach Amico
I mean, it looks nice.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
She loves it.
Oscar Aiden
Let me tell you something.
Doug Urim
That's all that matters.
Oscar Aiden
That's all that matters today. No one's. If she's. If someone's so concerned about diamonds, maybe they're not the one for you.
Zach Amico
Shannon, what's the minimum you think you would. You would want or did I ask that already?
Shannon
We. We have talked before. And like, for me, I don't, like. I want it to, like, look pretty and be like the cut that I want and stuff. But aside from that, I don't want it to be too expensive and because I don't want to have to walk around with my ring turned around on the inside as I'm walking in the street because I'm scared someone's going to steal it.
Doug Urim
Yeah, cut gal there, Shannon?
Shannon
No, I like the. Like the Asher cut or the cushion cut.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, yeah, those are nice. I like those Asher cuts. Very. I think. I think Asher cut's actually quite beautiful. It's. I love a. I love an emerald cut or an.
Shannon
I also like the emerald cut.
Oscar Aiden
Yes, Emerald cut. Like a nice three pronged emerald.
Shannon
I think it's beautiful and it's simple. Classic.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah, you don't need to be. And you don't need to. Yeah, you don't need to spend that money on the ring is good enough.
Doug Urim
That's great.
Zach Amico
We get out of here. Let's do a little bit of fast food news. And I said no. Oscar's got a heart out. Okay. I had a hard, soft, Soft in, heart out.
Oscar Aiden
Hi, guys.
Zach Amico
And shut up. So I don't know if you guys have seen, the executives of fast food companies have been making videos trying their own product because the guy from McDonald's tried the big arch and he literally referred to the food as product.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
He couldn't look less like he ate it.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
So now Burger King's on it, and now we've got the Wendy's president eating their own burger. So we're going to end on this because it wouldn't be the zoo if I don't yap about fast food.
Oscar Aiden
Can I tell you something? I watched those videos and let me tell you something. None of those CEOs or presidents really enjoyed the food. Now I'm tell you, I'm going to tell you why. Because when you bite into something so good, your eyes close. Your eyes close for at least a minute, like a millisecond where you're like, that's good. And none of their fucking eyes close.
Zach Amico
Oscar's talking about a pillow.
Shannon
Oscar, your comment shows up here. Your comment shows up here when I click on it.
Oscar Aiden
Oh, really? Oh, my God, look at that.
Zach Amico
Oh, that's so funny.
Oscar Aiden
Wait, let me see it. Is Oscar not wrong? It says son of a.
Zach Amico
But everybody, everyone knows that when you taste something so good, those eyes close to embrace the bliss. No, eyes closed. Don't trust it.
Oscar Aiden
That's right.
Zach Amico
Beyond. All right, so let's see. Let's see this nerd. Applewood smoked bacon.
Oscar Aiden
It looks awful, by the way.
Zach Amico
It doesn't look good.
Doug Urim
He got it from the worst Wendy's ever. What the.
Zach Amico
Absolutely.
Oscar Aiden
That looks dry as.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Terrible bite.
Oscar Aiden
Look at him. This is exactly the way a great hamburger should be. He's not even enjoying it. And why are your bites so small?
Doug Urim
Dude, he went to the worst Wendy's ever.
Zach Amico
That was a terrible one.
Doug Urim
Wendy's never looked like that.
Oscar Aiden
God, that's awesome.
Doug Urim
Bet I know which Wendy's he went to.
Zach Amico
But he did dip his fries in the Frosty, which is clutch.
Doug Urim
Yeah. Somebody. Do you think somebody told them to do that?
Zach Amico
Yeah, yeah.
Doug Urim
Somebody's like, you got.
Oscar Aiden
He's got a 19 year old social media director being like, make sure you dip it.
Doug Urim
Yeah, exactly.
Oscar Aiden
Yes. Queen Slay.
Doug Urim
Make sure you. You want to make sure you appeal to the people with this.
Zach Amico
I bet that marketing wise.
Doug Urim
Yeah.
Zach Amico
Sells more Frosties and more fries.
Doug Urim
Oh, yeah.
Oscar Aiden
Than it will the burger. They actually talked about it, how it was like a marketing ploy and that
Zach Amico
they sell the other one right. Because there's a reason they do the dollar Frosty. And I'm sure it's because you're gonna get a large fry with it. Yeah.
Doug Urim
You have to. You can't eat that thing with the straw, the fucking spoon. You always have to get the Biggie fucking fries to scoop all of that shit out of there. You have to.
Zach Amico
I see Oscar looking at his phone, I know he's got a heart out. I'm gonna respect it. Oscar, thank you so much for your time. Doug, thank you so much. Thank you for having.
Oscar Aiden
This was fun. I love this. This was great.
Zach Amico
I really appreciate you guys.
Oscar Aiden
Yeah.
Zach Amico
And let's get you out of here, buddy. And we'll see you this Wednesday here on the mornings Zoo. Goodbye.
