Indoor vs. Outdoor Pools

then you stopped talking. Oh yeah, they know I'm a chorus probably in the Daily Show. I got to see this every time. I don't know, I don't know who's listening. Joshua, tell the people what is a topic for today? We are gonna be talking about something that is, uh, it's tough because some people. To some people, it's gonna seem the same, all right, and we need you to know it's not. It's not the same at all. Okay, Today's

topic is indoor pool versus outdoor pool. And you know, as originally a Florida Negro, you know exactly what side I'm gonna pick. But we're gonna give the people like hinta che a momento to think about it? Play the music. Now, what side do you think me and josh pick? Because you picked your side. And I'm gonna tell you, Joshua, tell the people lie hid tight? What in? You are? Always misguided? Always misc wow, always inaccurate, incorrect points of view?

What did you pick? I chose indoor pool? Incorrect? We're going, okay, you want to talk about incorrect? Okay, I'm telling you right now because the thing that you are picking with outdoor pool, you're imagining a specific type of pool that I don't have to deal with being inside. Okay, And I'm talking about that above ground outdoor pool. All right. That's that's up. That's up with your pools. Okay. All of my pools go deep, all right. All of my

pools inside are lavish decades. So you're saying that there's no indoor above grand pools. I have not seen one. That don't mean don't exist. Yeah, but where have you seen one? You've never seen? Jesus, But you believe even in I'm saying, where have you seen the pools that

we're talking about outside? I would never seen an above ground indoor pool I'm starting to think that maybe there aren't any all right, if I haven't say what you haven't seen, there has to be somewhere, Yes, but we're talking about one maybe, versus thousands of above ground right sitting on the top of the lad ray to bust like bad boys two above ground pools is indoor above ground pool just a hot tub. I feel like even the hot tubs are a little bit more sunken indoors.

There've never I've never climbed up to get to a hot tub. All indoor therapy pools are above are sit up above ground. Oh so even when my pools are above ground, they're therapeutic. Thank you, Thank you for helping me at my point outdoors, out there with the elements. No, no, thank you. Your chip too much dip on my chip? Okay, wow, pretty rich coming from you. It might always misguided we had barely started the episode. It might always misguided you,

because here's the thing. When you are in an indoor pool situation, Okay, when you're protected from the elements. Now, I could actually go swimming when it's raining. I go swimming when it's lightning. Okay, I don't have to worry about what the rest of the world is doing when I go swim. Okay, I'm just gonna see. Okay, it's five grand Are you talking about kittie pool? Is that what you're sending me? No, okay, because the kittie pool could be indoors or outdoors. That's a stalemate. No, no,

this this is still outside. Don't do that. That's an outside trying to be inside outdoor pool. Now, help me out. Tell me what you think it's so special about outdoor pools? What puts them over the edge of indoor? Because I got air conditioning, I got safety. Me and my brother and my mama. My family used to live on North

Miami Beach. Okay, we lived in a hotel on Nor Frami Beach, and every day I would either go swimming in the pool or swimming in the ocean, right like my brother and my brother had a German tours tap. My brother had to swim for me. A pool is nostalgia. You know. When I was little, we would go to my Auntie Joy's house for my birthday every year, and they had a pool at their house because and then you know my Ntfefe her parents had a pool. So like I grew up going to black people's houses with pools,

okay uh. And then we went to camp and so we would go swimming. And because I can swim enough to keep myself alive. I'm not out here going to the Olympics or nothing like that. But you know, water won't kill me. Land probably will, but water, I'm good. I'm buying a shit for me, the outdoor pool. Also, it's like me, I'd appreciate this. So when I moved to LA at twenty sixteen, I met Madison Shepherd and Danielle Perez, so like one of my best friends now.

And we started this group on Facebook called you Can't Swim with Us and we would throw pool parties. But Daniel didn't have a pool at her house. Danyelle, his mom had a pool, but Daniel didn't have a pool at her house. Madison lives in an apartment with no pool. So we would be at other people apartment complexes and it was it was a private group on Facebook, and

these comics were really trying because we were private. We were not letting everybody in because I listen, it's gonna be plus sized bitches and two piece bas and suits, and we don't need no stap at it okay, And people were pressed to get in this group, Josh pressed and sometimes like somebody who's like, oh, this person wants to get in, I'm like, I don't really like them, so like they had to have like at least two

thirds approval m to get into the group. Well, the other wild thing about being in LA at that time was that it would be like fucking three thirty and afterton on Wednesday, and they're like twelve people here to go swimming, and I'm like, why are none of y'all are at work? Yeah, I'm a full time comic. Okay, you're not m and you always bitch about being broke. Go okay, Like LA is the only I've never had lived and we're like LA where nobody was at work.

So for me, the pool has represented a lifestyle. Can you swim when there's lightning? No? And I've had people tell me they go swimming in the rain, which I think is a complete stupid thing to do. But I don't like about indoor pools is that the room that they're in one always reeks of chlorine. It's just muggy a lot of times. Also, you know when you're on the road, a lot of the hotels like Michigan or like Pennsylvania will always have indoor pools. Okay, I always

feel gross in an indoor pool. There's something about the room is always wet, it's always kind of human in there. It's always smelling a chlorine, a little muggy. So it's like when you're in an outdoor situation, because like a pool day is like a sunny day. We are drinking and a nice a beverage, you know, just sitting just out here, just judging others, really taking in the scene,

like stuck, excited, excited, excited. So like a pool day. Yeah, a pool day is a day like I remember my mom used to drop me and my brother off that I don't think she was supposed to be doing this at the public pool in a best friend park in Norcross and she drop us off with some lunchee. So I've always been like a swimming gold swimming kind of camp. Like the dream of my life is to have a house with a cement pond. Okay, all right, hey, yeah, yeah I think that that. I think that's dope. I

want that for you. I will just say indoor pool pool day is every day you keep listing the best conditions for an hour. But see, that's the thing. It's like, it's the best conditions because you're not in a muggy room. You're not in you don't come out stinking of chlorine. Your eyes aren't burning, you know what I mean. It's like the room that an indoor pool is in is never a nice It never feels good. It never feels good to you. Wa No, the water and indoor pool

feels nasty. The it's always the wrong hot, it's the wrong kind of hot. Okay, it never feels good. It never feels good to me because it's like humid but chlorine. Human, it's muggy. It's this pool heated as this room heated. What's going on? Yeah, and then it's like your eyes start burning because it's just a mist of chlorine. I just I've allergic to chlorine. Absolutely not, Okay, it's just there's a lot about the chlorine, and I feel like that's never hit me the same because indoor pools, I

think are over chlorinated because I've never had this. Yeah, I can see that because they don't have the sun. M you know, to really just burn things off, truly, you have to adapt for the fact that this pool is on a arrest of light. To me, I guess an outdoor pool is redundant because if you have an outdoor pool and you have the ocean, just go for the ocean. Some people don't like the ocean. I understand

some people. I'm very afraid of the ocean. Also, it's like there's nothing swimming the nothing that swims in a pool, as people kind of there's no fish in a swimming pool, not on purpose. Shut up, Josh. Chlorine will kill a fish. Shop. That's why pools are chlorinated. Nose fishes jumping out of the sea, Elmar, I'm sure there's one, all right. I'm not playing this game. I will not live for these

shenanigans on this day. Yeah. Yeah. So what I'm saying is that is also, if you're don't landlocked area, you have to have a pool. If the closest ocean is more than two hours away, you're not going there on a regular basis. If you want to get a quatic in this bitch, you have to have a pool. Now, when you talk about the history of swimming pools, it is very fucked up. You know the fact that we

weren't just swimming them. You know, people having pools at their houses because public pools got closed because they didn't want us in there, you know. But now we get to swim, don't we mostly? I think, yeah, But I think that indoor you can bring you if you have an indoor pool, you know what it speaks to me personally? You somebody's house or an establishment. Oh I'm talking about both.

But the one at the house is gonna be hard to be okay, because an outdoor pool at your house, all right, you might still have to give that one to nature every once in a while. But an indoor pool in your house, I'm bringing the snacks. Okay. You wouldn't bring snacks to outdoor pool? Not always, No, especially if it's above ground. Have you ever heard of the redneck trifector? I have heard of it, but remind me

what it actually is above ground pool? Okay, trampoline, pontoon boat, three of the most fun things you could hope for on a Saturday afternoon. Do you know anyone who lives in Florida? Mhmm. Yeah, we've been to the home of someone with a pool in Florida, I believe. So. Yeah, Now, did you see that the pool is outside, but is encased by a screen, like a giant screen as big as they Basically it's as big as the house. I don't know if I've seen that. So basically you're like

indoors and outdoors at the same time. Don't don't tell me that on that. Hold on, let me send it to you. Oh no, this is this is nice. I thought you meant when you said a screen. I thought you meant the you know, like the screen door material. That meant that made out of the door, it is made out of that. I thought that you meant the walls were made out of it, and the ceiling was made out of it. It doesn't look like there's got

you've got support beams. Yeah, there's some real wall. No, what it is just the support beams to create the shape, and then in between that is pure screen. The thing is if you have a hybrid situation where you essentially built onto your pool from outside to make it kind of inside. I don't know where that lands. I don't know if that becomes inside or it stays outside. Well, the pool and a screen enclosure. But what it does, it's like you can enjoy being outside without like the

mosquitos and the bugs and all that. Yeah. Also you can have food out there, so there's no flies, there's no Yes, it's gonna it's gonna come down somewhat on the flies, somewhat on the mosquito. If you're outside, they're fighting their way in, okay, And I think with an indoor pool, you don't have to worry about the flies.

You don't have to worry about them. You can get in your house if you're going in and out of a door, they can, but not at the right No, just being outside outside, of course, it's just that's where the bugs are. You can that they ship. M. But you're in their neighborhood. You're in their neighborhood. That's why I don't kill bugs outside because I'm in the ship. You don't want if I'm out, I don't kill bugs. I try not to kill a bug if i'm outside.

What is his face? I'm just from outside, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't want to kill a bug if I'm outside, like, that's their ship. Now, if you're in my house, that's a difference. M. You came in my ship. But I try to help you. I'll try to put you outside. But if you donkey. You die like flies. Though there's a fly in my house, you die. I can say that. I don't think you've given me any good reason to have an indoor pool. The reason I've given you to have an indoor pool is that you are not out there.

And I can list them if you need, but you're not out there with the elements, all right, when it light when it's lightning, When it is lightning, I can swim in my pool when it's a rainy day. I can swim my pool when it's just nasty outside, you know, like sometimes it's just not fun outside, even though it's not bad weather. I could swim in my pool. My pool indoors is consistent. Also a pool indoors, if you can afford it, if you're blessed like that. Everything it

is lavish, it is. It is a beautiful thing. I've never seen. I'll just say this. I've never been in someone's house to an indoor pool, and it was ugly. All right, every indoor indoor pool. I'm not gonna say all their names, but it's it's it's been two friends, yeah, two where they was this the Louisiana or is the Chicago? Third one was Chicago, and one was New York. Yo. An indoor pool in New York. Yeah, at their house? Yeah, Yo, you should marry it personally. Uh No, he's taken. Mary's parents,

get adopted, do something. Why don't you put in work? Why don't you try? Yeah? Now, I'm with you, New York with just the lack of an access, Tom. I mean, as a child, I remember seeing on TV kid's playing like a fire hydrant, and it was the saddest thing I've ever seen. Look, i'll tell you right now for for my listeners listening right now, who get me? Who understand me? Who get where I'm coming from. There's two angles right here that I want you to hear me

from truly. All right? One men, all right, men, I want you to listen to me right now. Your family deserves an indoor pool, all right. So then, as a man, you gotta go out there. You gotta work, You gotta do everything that you need to do to go ahead and get an indoor pool for your family. You don't want those kids out there struggling in an above ground pool. Daddy, I can't get out. It's six feet tall, right, You forgot to put the water in. I live here now right.

You don't want your children yelling at you like that. You don't want your wife yelling at you. Hey, how are you gonna get these kids out of this pool? There's no water, all right? They broke their little feet jumping in doing cannonballs to nothing. All right, Get an indoor pool. Let them see the water down there before they jump in. Don't make them jump off. Faith, But look second angle right here, second angle. For the people listening, I want you to have enough money in this world

to get an indoor pool, because you deserve it. After only after you've put in that work, after you've grinded. Okay, after that grinding, what's gonna come up? I felt it? Yeah, yeah, because honestly, a lot of the no one gets an indoor pool by chance. People put in below ground pools. Nobody gets that by chance. All right. If your house didn't already come when you got to work for exactly, you gotta work, You gotta grind. Okay, duels, they already

know what I'm talking about. You gotta put in work. You gotta go home. Look at your house and be like house, Why are you being lame? Why are you being lame? Okay? All right, don't rest your head until you can rest your head underground in an indoor poo. Don't rest on your laurels because you need to be resting on the tile of a swimming pool. Go ahead and rest on those floaties that you get from bringing home all that money to build an indoor pool. You

already know, you already know. I can see what you're saying. You can swim whatever you want. You can swim anytime in an indoor pool. You can grind any time to get it. Indoor poolool. It has to be heated because if it's cold outside and it's a below ground pool, your pool could be cold. So you have to get a heated pool. And if you're gonna be really doing it right, you gotta get a saltwater pool. That's just a little extra grinded, all right, you don't even really

need to worry. Okay, that's just you already got the indoor pool, buddy, that go ahead, just grind until you get the full pool money. Yeah. Because yeah, Also, also you want some lights. Okay, maybe you need some lights of the pool with no lights, a pool with no lights, a dark pool dark, you might as well be in stranger things Oh my god, I saw somebody I don't know on my TikTok. It was a pool. It was cleaning TikTok. It was pool TikTok, British man that cleans pools.

I didn't know people have some pools England. Yeah, outside pools. Oh wow, that is a surprise. Yeah, it's only I don't know what even. We were there for the warmest month of the year and it wasn't warm enough to go swimming. Yeah. Yeah, And so he had a client and they painted the bottom of the pool red. That's so like it was disturbing. I don't even know what to say. It was disturbing a red bottom pool. So did it just look like you were swimming in blood?

It did. Apparently this person is not the only psychopath to ever do this shit. That's that's deeply disturbed. I can't even imadgin diving in now. What is your because because I want to be fair, I brought up outdoor, above ground pools, all this stuff, all the elements everything I do want to be fair. What is your ideal perfect pool? Oh? Well, my ideal perfect pool one is actually near the beach. Okay, why is that? Because the feeling you get when you get into the ocean is

not the feeling you get when you get into a pool. Okay. And I don't like swimming in the ocean at night because I don't want to go missing. So when you're near the ocean but you're in a pool, you get the ocean feeling without the ocean, without being in the ocean. Okay, got you, got you? And so your ideal pool. Does it have any extra features or there any other things going on with your pool besides it being near the ocean or was that just the first thing? That was

just the first thing? So first thing. Also, there needs to be an area. It's like the pool that was at the house we had in the Bahamas was great because there was a basically as a bench that went all the way like in the water, that went all the way around the pool inside when you're in the pool, but you can sit down because not everybody can fit on the stairs, you know what I mean. So there's that.

I did also like the fact that pool was all it was just a little bit deeper in the middle, but for the most part it was all the same depth. I don't even have a pool in my house is eight feet deep. That's insane, A good six feet. Also, I like those pools where the ones that's not the one where you step in, but the ones that like start like two or three inches of water and then it just graually gets deeper. The pools on a full incline.

I like that because then you can really like almost just lay down, h and still be in the pool. Got you? So, so I want to get it right, So help me list it right near the ocean has the seated step all the way around, but has the gradual steps to enter that that take a while. The rise and run of those is smoother and longer. Yeah, because if you're doing that, so when you have those rising like is that what in there's a spot where it just like becomes one level and then you can

sit and then there's the deeper part of it. Got you? And it's only going six feet deep, but it's not going eight feet not going way way beyond? Right? Okay, um, all right? Is there anything else? This is my dream pool? Yeah, So don't even think about the house, think about just the pool. You can have whatever you want at the pool, because because when I tell you mine, I just want to make sure we're not talking about the house it's in. It's specifically the pool. Oh, then I want there to

be a bar. Okay, I want there to be a bar bar pool side a bar side are so uh? My homeboy his pool and his apartment had these like seats in them, like the concrete seats so you could be sitting down, but like really like secured sitting down, so you could like sleep if you wanted to. Because I end up being in water and being asleep. It is great, all right. Yeah, I think I think that those are all respectable choices. Oh wait, I forgot something. I forgot, Yeah, what's up. I would want the ability

to cover it if I needed to. Mmmmm, sounds like someone's come around. No no, no, no, no, like in the winter time, to keep up the leaves and stuff out of it so you don't have to like shock your pool and all those other stuff. Yeah. Yeah, to be able to keep the stuff out. Also if it's a particularly bad mosquito season, because like the covering, because like the enclosures for pools to screen. Enclosures are cool, but you still feel like you're inside. I liked sitting

in the open earth. But say it's a rainy day, or there's a lot of you know, the buzz is out, then you can throw a little covering up. You know. I'm with you, but for the most part. But also it's like, I think it's okay that there's a rainy day and you can't go swimming. That's okay, hmm. You know the whole winter time, Okay, you can't go swimming.

I got a balcony. I was on my balcony was ten degrees outside or or or maybe you wouldn't have to deny yourself if you would just go ahead and hustle until you had this indoor pool money and us indoor pool can go swimming all the time, NonStop, hot or cold, outside, raining, lightning, thundering, swimming, all of it. Now, can't you swim not? Well no, yeah, yeah, you can

do a little less than that. But yeah, yeah, So you're telling me the water get too deep mm hmm, then it is bye bye Josh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I go. I go pretty uh, pretty knee heavy, knee heavy. Yeah. I'm like once it hits the knees, you know, I'm like, ah that the rest of the water over there too heavy for me. Oh okay, the knee is your threshold? Mmm, knee is? Knee is you know, maybe stick my hands in a little bit, lean in front of the knees

and let the water touch me. But oh no, no, not not going not going deep deep my ideal pool. That's why it's six feet because even though I'm not six feet, I can still give a little jump, grab some air, grab a little air with my mouth, and then come back down, you know, snatch some some air with my lips, and then come back down and swim around and walk around and stuff. But every once in a while, just instead of when you have a six foot deep pool and you're at least average height, you

don't have to swim. You can just hop. You can just hop every now again, just grab some water, come back down. That's what the dolphins do, you know. So I would just pop up, be like oo and then come back down and look around or whatever you do when you're at a pool where the kid like, the ideas of opening your eyes in a pool was insane. Yeah, I was like, guys, all go blind, right, and then you did it, and you're just like, one, I can't

see shit, and two now my eyes are burning. Yeah I could see just enough to get kicked in the face like I could see. Yeah, you're always too close with somebody. Yeah us. Did you ever your friends have a baptize each other in a bool? Nah? Not really. We used to play that game and baptize each other. H what a fun little Southern thing to do. You would all your friends just baptized in each other because that makes sense? Yeah, um, no, I'm with you. I guess this is my thing to me, the perfect pool

indoors six feetmax. It has It has a little bit of a mimic to what you were saying, because it does have a little place for you to sit if you want to be in the pool but not actually swimming, and heated with the lights, all right, So heated with the lights so I can see myself in case I'm drowning. I can see it, right, I can. Let me go ahead and pop up real quick. You know. The thing has to be weirriy about for the indoor pool is the cleanliness of the pool. You always have to be

on top of that. But I feel like indoor pools. He's never been an indoor pool like that's on, like those pools like a YMCA place. I always feel like there's a film on my body. Whenever I get out of an indoor pool, Yeah, I don't know what I can now. I'm always itchy whenever I get have an indoor pool, like, yeah, ticket shot, I'm so itchy. I don't know if they put more. I don't know what it is, but I'm always like oh when I get

out of an indoor pool. So maybe I'm anti indoor pool because of the experiences that I've had of how just gross I have felt. Yeah, because like a hotel or YMCA are the only time I really see indoor pools. I'm with you. I guess my thing is okay, Okay. When I've been at an outdoor pool, I have been accosted with germs like just just the visible. You want to talk about a film, Let's talk about p okay, Because the amount of children who I've seen p in

a public pool, it's it's violence. There's not enough chlorine in the pool. The whole thing should be a vat of chlorine for all the p and you're letting people do. I can tell you I was at a pool and um or was that Austin, Texas Austin, Texas hotel pool?

The water was only like way was probably three feet deep, and it wasn't a very big I'm talking about Josh, this was I guess it was like a big dinner to The pool wasn't big enough for how many people were in it, and everybody was drinking, every single person, probably fifty people in that pool. Yeah, it was probably a pool that you have twenty people in it. Max. It's a very Vegas thing to have happened. It's a

very Vegas thing. The water wasn't deep at all. Yeah. Yeah, you're just getting those elbows wet, so you're like your waist it's like a six foot man was waist deep. Everybody's drinking. We were probably there for three or four hours. I really didn't see people getting out of this pool, and I saw people have multiple drinks. And once I realized that another hour one, I was like, oh, everybody's peeing in this pool because I pete in that pool. And I was like, oh, this water looks different. Let

me get out of this pool. Because I don't thought I was telling the truth on it was just like my my still brain. I was like, I think this water is like changing. Oh God, so we all are churches were just in peak that yeah, yeah, coming back to my room took the most magnificent shower m hm. Because I was like, this is a bunch of us all noticed it the same, Like nobody was getting out.

People were getting like drink, go after drink. And this guy was like, so we're just standing each other's pete and somebody went yes, that person definitely pet the one that said yes. But uh, let's um, let's kick it to the listeners. Yeah, I mean I want to hear from all of you what would you rather, and also tell us about your dream pool? Who do you think was right? Um? And who do you think is Josh? I mean, why you gotta like like I'm I'm trying

this whole episode. I've tried to help and have points and all, and then you're gonna come at me at the top end the back end. You said you like at an indoor pool, and I can't. I can't. I can't condone that. You can't condone. I gave you every clear reason because why my pools are superior? I I might here for your pool supremacy. Yeah, but you you also don't really want to listen to to reason, you know. I mean, like, hey, man, the little you know what

the little listeners tell us. Okay, let the listeners. Let us know who is living the truth, who was telling the truth about these pash who is letting the children know how to live their lives. So listen, you tell us. You go to the comments and YouTube. Now you tell us how you feel. And I'm not gonna try to bias you in this last few seconds of the show. I would never do that. You make your own decisions. Oh my gosh, what No, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no.

It's not the head scratch. It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. No, not the high acting and the head scratch. You're talking to me like I'm a man. You earned both. Okay, I am not a man. You can't head scratch. No, I'm good, I'm fine. Listen until next time. Okay, keep putting in work on yourself, keep grind and keep hustling, all right, get to the top, Get to the top

of the top. And when you're at the top of the top, when you're the top one percent of the one percent, look yourself in the mirror and still say it's not good enough. Okay, remember that, all right, And for you men, out there. Remember what I said about family, Remember what I said about pools.
