Summer vs. Winter

love you. So without anything else, let's let's get into the show. We'll hold up. I'm your co host, Josh Johnson, a writer for The Daily Show, and I'm joined by me Duesday Sloan and um I did not want it. I'll say this sometimes as someone oh on, hold on, I'll say this. Sometimes it's someone who is in the public eye right and who as a performer, people will make requests of you when it comes to how you

express yourself. If you are a fan of a comedian or a performer, mainly comedian, and you want to d m them, message them, come up to them after a show and give them a joke, give them notes, tell them about what you think you should. They should change, shut the funk up, put something in your mouth. I don't care what it is, and go away. You are the worst person because you're not a fan. I don't need your notes. I don't need none of us need your notes. None of us are going to tell your

bar joke to anybody. And don't get offended when you ask us, can I tell you a joke? And we say no, we write our own material. We don't need you. Also, if you're dating a comedian, you are not that interesting. The number of does that I've talked to us like, don't put this in your act. Don't worry, I won't ye. You're either a nor that I did put it in, or or or a nor that I might put something in,

or nor that I won't put something in. And my favorite is because we've told men they're funny, because that's what the ugly men have to go off of, or even men want to be interesting, right, so we've told men that they're funny. That's why we have this thing about women not being funny. The number of men I've had to say to me, I bet I'm funnier than most of your friends, sir, my friends have comedy specials, my friends and comedy specials albums tours. I feel like this,

it would be funny to do this. Uh this episode is Dulce versus the d O. Well, I can say I'm very annoyed by the amount of respect that I get in my d m um. There's never a man trying to holler at me in my d ms mhm. Ever,

there's always some annoying woman. One good thing that has been happening is I've been getting lots of pitches in my d m for potential episodes, and I think you're gonna like a couple of them, a couple of no one's sending me anything for I would love that got I got a bunch of good ones, and so we're gonna have to start doing shoutouts, like on the specific person that's like, hey, we thank you so much to the person, because I feel like some of them were

so specific that I was like, yeah, this is this is great. Oh man, I cannot wait to hear it. But what are some of the ones that we're never gonna do. I mean, I don't see us doing DC versus Marvel. No, one's not really gonna happen. No, no, uh don't know enough about either camp. I don't know who's who. I don't know where Spider Man stay. I don't know where Batman live. Also, Michael Keaton is the

only Batman I care about. That's a hot take, Bros. Wow, before we get into like a bad, bad debate, let's tell the people what this episode is about. Today is one that's actually very close to our hearts, very close to my heart and my titties. See you see what I mean though about the like like you know, I sort of said a thing and then you sang thing you felt, you know, like you were gonna start on babe in my face. I'm not trying to start. I'm just trying to live my best life. Listen, I got

these nails done. Okay, I have the nails of the woman, like I said on Instagram, the nails of the woman in Dolly Park warned us about. Okay, I am Joe Line, Joe Line, you get it. Yeah, no, no, look I jol so will you jolly listen. I didn't have a proper warm up, so that didn't Joe listen. I'm gonna I'm gonna have to come back on that as well. Episode after I've had a proper warm up because I

just embarrassed myself. You know, I'm doing great, and tell the people what this episode is about, and then tell them where you stand. This episode is about a conversation that I have on a regular basis and a war that I have in waging since I was a weak girl. And the topic of today's episode is as if you didn't read it on the caption, but but all of you who did not, it is summer versus winter. Mm hmm. Bet I know versus in Do I know how to say versus in Spanish? No, it's probably versus. I don't

know who one's ever asked me. What I'm saying is summer time versus one of time? And since we know that Josh has a tendency to be wrong, WHOA what's are do you for? Josh? What time? I'm for? Wrong? Wrong? You are? You are wrong? You're absolutely catagorically in core fucking wrecked. And I will tell you all of the ways right after this. Mh and we're back listen, Josh, I can say, in the history of us doing this podcast, I never really let you fully get your points out.

Mm hmm. Before I stopped them out of existence, you know. So I want you, I want to give you a chance on this good Christian morning, m josh, unless you go ahead and tell us why you live this life. Okay. So I think that this time that we're that we're in right now, in the in the month, is the perfect time to talk about this because right now we're in fall. We're in an equal split between the two. Okay, you know, we we still have memories of summer and we still have um a winter to look forward to.

And for me, I think that winter is just the coziest. Right You're inside, you're snuggled up, you're eating some good some some good hardy food that's warm. You can't have that during the summer, all right. If someone made you like a nice, thick full stew, you don't want that in the summer. You can't eat it. It's too hot outside. You don't want hot in your mouth. Okay. You can't be snuggled up under quilts all sorts of covers and comforters. You can't be under blankets in the summer, all right,

snuggled up with a good book. Yeah, maybe outside while you're roasting. H but in the winter you're inside, maybe next to a fireplace, right, all all cozied up with a honey bun, you know, literal or figurative depend where you got honey bun. You're cuddling up with Josh out of reference coming season, you Josh Johnson, celebrate coping season. Wow, I'm not saying celebrate coming sea. I'm just saying, if you're with somebody, it's nice to be with somebody when

it's cold outside. You can snuggle up warm each other. You know, I will say the other thing that's really great. It's like, uh, any any inside activity for a home body is only elevated in the winter because now there's no guilt about not going out and outside your window, depend on where you live, you get to see the beautiful tranquil snowfall. All right. There's there's something about there's something about snow on the horizon that's just peaceful and beautiful. Okay.

Winter comes with a lot of good foods, It comes with a ton of the indoor activities. If you're if you're an introvert, winter rain Supreme, get to wear mittens. Tell me you don't love mittens, No, nigga, I'm not six years old. Mittens are superior. All right, I'm trying this thing where, you know, as a black man, I gotta be so tough. I gotta act like I love mittens, all right, I wish I had them? All right now, listen, no one's asking you to be tough. Wow what oh?

Oh you know what a what is? Oh? Wow? The nerve? What you know? What a what is? I'm just saying. No one's asking josh Ezekiel Johnson to throw hands. No one's asking you to do that, No one not. I'm not even saying through hands. I'm saying be tough. I'm saying that sometimes in life, especially as a man, you're expected to be a certain level of tough where you

don't even like stuff. Yeah, there are feel mittens, mitten. Uh. First of all, you don't buy many of them, Okay, allow them are gifted to you by grandmothers, women in your life that are of a certain age that I'm saying, I hear you. Listen, I um disagree with everything you just said, but listen, I'm wearing my best summertime dress because I'm trying to keep hope alive so much. This is uh, this is a dress whenever I wear it on stage is to let white people know that I

have white friends. Um, look at these sleeps. Oh yeah, the sleeves, the sleeve scream. Yeah. You know, I didn't enjoy Midsummer, but I watched it, you know, to support the white community. Midsummer Night's Dream where we oh no, no, the horror movie Midsummer that only has Oh I don't watch horror movies. It's hard enough out here, dog, I don't need my brain attacking me anymore. That that's what I'm saying. It says that I'm not saying you did that.

Oh yeah, this dress definitely yes. This dress definitely says yes, I'll have a beer, you know as it. This dress says I'll drink out. I p a disgusting right. I called them epas for the longest. No one corrected you. No one corrected me for like a while. Yo, that's not even Yeah. Yeah, I worked to Trailer Joe's. You want to Trader Joe's. That's where they're Yeah, for years. Oh,

I know, you worked to Trader Jos for years. What I'm saying is that the fact that you worked at a Trader Joe's, I p a s live and no one took the time to pull a young man aside and stopped saying how did you find out? I eventually said it out loud and for us somebody, Yeah, I was just I was like living in ignorance. But it never came up because in your defense, they put an S on the end, but the S is little. Also, I don't know what the letters mean, uh Indian pale ale?

Do we mean like Native American? Oh? I have no idea. I just I just know that that when it's spelled out, that's what it is. There is there is there a beer making history among the Native Americans or the people of Indian I have no idea. Yeah, I mean I didn't understand it even when it was explained to me. I wished that EPA was right. I mean, at the end of the day, they're still nasty. Yeah, I think you have to really be a white man to enjoy them. I truly think they're tuned perfectly m h to that

palette because I've never seen anyone who wasn't one. Yeah. Yeah, I don't drink, so I have no idea. I always forget you. No, I never forget you don't drink. I'm always like Josh, I love imagining you at like a college party, just being like I don't. Oh yeah, no, I was standing there. Good lord, I can't say I don't. I don't not drink. Some of my friends was like, one of my friends was like, have you considered not like stopping drinking, And I was like, I don't drink

enough to stop drinking. If that makes sense. I feel like I've only ever seen you have a drink twice, and I've known you for years. Yeah, I don't drink all. I don't drink all the time, and if I do drink, I'll have one or two. I don't like being drunk now. I guess I'll ask you this. Then, since you're on the side of summer, do you still drink the same things in the summer as you do in the winter. I do the same thing year round, year round. Okay, so I enjoy SOLDI you year round. I enjoy a

whiskey and soda tequila soda year round. If I am going to go for a fruity beverage, your collad does your Dakris your Margarite's. It is usually warm outside, I will now if there is now, I will have a margarita year round. If there is caso. Wow. Okay, that first of all, that makes perfect sense. I used to work at a Mexican restaurant and that makes perfect sense. But also would not have if you had not said

anything paired them together. In my mind, you gotta have a margarita for eating, So yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like, it's like that makes so much sense. And looking back on when I would, you know, do the orders and while I was serving yea, but also never put it together until just now. Oh yeah, because you need the acidity to bust up all that cheese, but then you need the cheese to help regulate the acidity

that wants you to have your own cooking show. Because bust up is oh an incredible way to describe it. Bust up. Well, the thing is you can't and you usually can't get I did not realize this until I left the South. But you can't get white k so out of like a couple of southerns like would you leave? Yeah? Yeah, that's true. Also, I recently bought a knitting machine and now I'm out here making beanies. Scarf, Josh, what colored beanie you want, baby boy? I got a red color

coming up. Listen, I've seen you in a beanie. Now look, look, look, I will take a red beanie. But if you could make me some red mittens, hey out here all right? And so you're saying, if I can get you red mittens to go at this red beanie, you would wear them. I would. I would not just wear them, I would sport them. There'd be Instagram posts, there'll be a lot going on mittens and a matching beanie. I don't think I've had that in life. Now do you when you

want your beanie? Do you want the little leg faux for a little poof on the top was the poof? Do? I guess I never bought sixty of them, So if you want one. A kid once told me that it breaks up the wind, and I was like, I don't see how that's possible. But maybe wind breakers don't even break up the wind. Wind Breakers just hold wind. Wind Breakers should be called wind catchers. Um, but I get what you're saying. Then, Yeah, So like a lot of

what you prefer happens during the summertime. Right. Also, it's like I don't like being hot indoors, and I don't like being cold outside. Right. Also, I enjoy sitting outside. You know, I've got a nice terrace about, so it's like I enjoy sitting outside. I have patio furniture, right, and it is much easier to sit outside. You know, you're talking about reading your books people who are like

introverts and such. I mean, I think introverts do the same thing year round because that they just do what they do. But if you're going to sit up and enjoy a nice but like, like a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting on my terraces, uh became on the top floor so like I can see, like, you know, the sky is so big. I sit down there on

my patio furniture reading a book. And if it's thirty degrees outside, you're not going to enjoy sitting outside reading ship because you're you're dabbing an eye, you're dabbing a nose your thing. You can't feed your fingers to turn the pages. Right. Also, I'm a beach person, all right, that makes sense. So should we have to do an episode about beaches versus mountains like vacations, I'm down for that because I have so many thoughts and feelings about

that situation. Because we have to admit like a beach is like a summertime vacae. The mountains lost month, and yes there's really a wintertime gig, right, like going to the mountains in the summer. It's like girl, for what for? Who? For? Why? Who asked for those? Absolutely? For absolutely we don't have to It's fine, but yeah, but I'll tell you why you're rolled later. Sure, all right, So, like I'm team summer because it's you're out and about, you're seeing people.

It's just the ability to It doesn't even have to be like a trip, like you go go on a date trips. You could just be in a park. You could just sit in a park then enjoy your day. You can have a couple of nibbles, you know, a couple of nibbles, maybe some Bubbie, maybe some epas, whatever, you and I can join in when you're out enjoying a nice day. You can just do that. It's easier to do things and this stuff. Just getting groceries is

easier in the summertime. Getting doing laundry is easier. Just running an errand is easier in the summertime because you're not out here looking like the kid from a Christmas story. I understand where you're coming from, because a lot of things that you're saying makes sense for you. As long as I've known you, all these things have been have been true. So I get why you lean towards summer.

But there are just certain things that Hey, you're not having hot chocolate when it's hot out, Okay, that's that beverage I'm talking about, sitting in the park. No, no, no, no no, I still I still say. There are plenty of activities that you can go do in the winter. There's a whole winter Olympics for people that love the winter. All right, Okay, but what about if you live somewhere that gets cold but doesn't always snow, like Atlanta, for instance.

People do not know because somebody gave Atlanta to some white people in a fucking building, gave Atlanta this nickname of Hot Atlanta, and people think that it's hot year round, which is not true. Atlanta, WI get down on the teens. I thought it was called Hotlanta because of the people. No, that was marketing bullshit. Wow, Okay, because when it came out,

we all went the funk. We didn't vote for this, and they put it on everything, and now every cornyast person I've ever met, Like, so you're from Hotlanta, No, bitch, I'm not. I'm not from a marketing campaign. None of us enjoy all of us saw it, and we're like, this is gonna be a fucking problem. Like no one's running around like New York with no New Yorkers like, yeah, I'm from the Big Apple, Like, no one's doing this. No one is doing that. I'm not running around thembou

calling the peach say. I think for me, the things that I enjoyed doing the most are during my favorite season. So because I enjoy an out an aquatic activity, right, you can't be in a body swimming pool when it's forty degrees outside, when your pool is probably frozen somewhat, it's colder, ship cold enough to kill you. This is this one. It's important to have friends with indoor pools. Yeah, sure, because when men like to do a lot of hotels like up North, a lot of them. I have indoor pools,

um more heated pools. So it's like, I can't say this summer summer. I kept seeing it on like on Instagram and was like, yo, this summer left like it had somewhere to be. I thought it was just me. I looked up and was like, bitches, it's in timber. Yeah what hell? It was? I very quick and I thought it was just your girl. But everyone else looked up in my lege, Oh am I wearing a jacket. It was it's been and she she flew the coop bills to pay, and she was upset before she left

because those were some heat waves. I couldn't even sit outside it was hot, because I was like, I love sitting outdoors, but also I know that New York is hot? Wrong, what do you mean? I was talking to mattay late about this and he completely understood. Okay, listen, so uh huh. First of all, it's building hot, it's not nature hot, right, Okay, So, like I remember a couple of years ago, I was to do the thing called Ausi Fest and they canceled it because of the heat. And I called my mother,

who grew up in Miami. It is the most of her adult life in the Great State of Georgia, as you can see on my Nicolaus. And so I was like, Mommy, they canceled this comedy show because of a heatwave. She said, girl, how hot was it? Hundred and five hundred hundred five. How hot was it? I said, Mommy, it was gonna be ninety four degrees And we laughed for ten minutes because in the South we would have whole outdoor festivals, hall fucking barbecues and it'd be ninety four degrees outside.

Why because it's nature hot. And we got enough watermelon out here to keep everybody alive. Okay, sit that baby in the shade. Come get some of these ribs. We're gonna have a good day. Okay. We've got enough cold drinks out here, enough coke and that is any carbonated beverage. We got enough water, We got enough, We got enough last We te out here to keep everybody the fun

a lot, right. You grew up Louisiana and up here, first of all the number of places that do not have air conditioning because they love to call themself ignorant, but we have figured out HVAC. They want to call us all kind of backwards and barefoot and stupid or whatever, these Yankee bastard's, but we have figured out how to cool a home. Okay. The fact of my other apartment, I had to have a window unit as a grown adult, and I couldn't control, and I couldn't control my heat

came on, which was also truly disrespectful. I'll pay you American dollars with a comma in the bitch. Yeah, I got a whole apartment and my heat just come on when you say a song. So now I'm just in here wearing the least about trying to figure out to take my skin off because it's hotter, and a bitch in here because somebody, because you know, den no, don't turn the fucking heat on and asked my back. So I'm a summertime gal because your best family get to

gifts out here in the summer time. Right. Also, my birthday is the ultimate summertime gig. Yeah, my birthday is July fourth. Wait, Josh, when's your birthday? March six? I don't know. I don't really bring it up. White a minute and waited a minute, and wait a minute, Josh Jabbadiah Johnson, how dare? Oh? Yeah, I just I just let it. You know what I mean? I I think that for me and I truly understand what you're saying. I'm not saying summer doesn't have a lot of amazing

merits to it. My con with summer is the heat waves. And you're saying that New York is hot wrong, But isn't California having the same sort of concrete heat issue. California first of all, is a desert. M hm. That's the main thing. Yeah, they don't have water. Yeah, I mean, I mean the thing is they put that there, which is very confusing that they even did that. Yeah. I think at the time it was cheap land and so then they built there. Oh that makes sense. I mean

it's not probably the best, No, it's not. It's not a great idea long term. So, like, I've lived in l A during a he This is the weird thing about being in l A in a heat wave. M hmm. There was one day where it was a hundred and eight degrees and then the sun went down and it was seventy degrees. Yeah, and I was like, how do you not catch your death in the spitch? Because I've been in Georgia and it's been two degrees at two o'clock in the morning. The sun hasn't been out for

hours and it's still not in the nineties. Yeah, but the temp has sense enough to regulate, right, the temper since its regular, so like l A bounces around, because that was the weird thing when I first moved there, I was like, Okay, you know it's it's it's not. It's eighty five degrees out here. We are, you're looking cute, and then at nighttime it will be sixty five. I was like, Oh, that's why everybody in this bitch always

has a jacket with them. Yeah. It's very confused. And then when you get there, you're like, I get it. So that's why everyone's closed out here. Don't make any sense because once the sun goes down, you don't know what the hell temperature it's going to be. But it's like, your most fun activities are in the summertime. Also, and I hate separate. Also, you enjoy snowboarding, you enjoy toboggining, you enjoy skiing. It's not about snowboarding. You're skiing, all right.

It's about having like a nice nature walk in the winter. If I'm in the woods, it's cold, it's thirty degrees outside, go inside. What do you mean? People act like you can't gear up for the winter. You could be You could be so comfortable if you just gear up for the for the temperature in a heat wave that you can't take off the skin. You can take off everything,

but you'd be naked and still hot, all right. But in winter you gear up enough and you're just comfortable until you go inside somewhere, and then you're sweating your life away. Because that's the other thing about the wintertime, is there, oh okay, all right? The other thing about the wintertime is it's so hot indoors because no, everybody's sucking.

Everybody's out regulating this ship, right, right, So like I got on this sweat because like that's why I learned to wear winter on the outside and summer on the inside. Because you'll see somebody have like a full thick ass whatever. A cable knit is what the kids say, the ass cable knit sweater, right, and they look cozy. But now they've come inside of building. In the building, it's set to hell. Right. I've been inside of bars that was too hot. When I was a minute in Indiana over

the weekend, everywhere we went inside was too warm. It was too warm. It wasn't cold enough outside for as warm as it was inside. Right, And so because the jacket that I brought was to the coat that I brought a coat I should have brought a jacket right in New York, you're like, okay, like jackead jacket, colt cool. So it's like there's these levels where just like you know, they all got a j I gotta got a light jack. Right, I'm running around da dad day. Okay, let me let

me get a coat. Okay, now, let me call North Faith, let me get goose down involved. Okay. I had to bring animals as reinforcement because I'm sucking freething. I mean, you know, you've seen my coats. They're they're warm, They're very much warm. But so it's like you have to have so many there's hats and scarves and boots and gloves, and then then you gotta have salt for the snow because like this is the thing I will give you. This snow is pretty mm hmm the first two days

and then it needs to go to funk On. Snow needs to find it, the snow needs. Snow doesn't know when to leave. Snow doesn't know when to leave. Okay, snow show up and be like, hey, y'all. The first snow is very cute. It's nice, it's cute, it's quiet, you know, but too much snow out in your fucking city down. Okay, remember the bomb cyclone that hit New York because this was it was not that crazy if it was a bomb cyclone, why did they call it a bomb cyclone if it wasn't so crazy because they

were getting too hyped. It was just a fucking blizzard. We already had a word for a bunch of snow showing the funk up that. That's kind of where I was where I was like, I heard bomb cyclone even I was like, all right, this may be too much snow, like maybe maybe we're in for it, right, But then it hit and it maybe it's because I lived in Chicago for a while, but it hit and it wasn't like all that while to the barometer is different Chicago.

Chicago is egregious. Like Chicago. They called it Shiberia that one year because the lake almost froze over. That's a big athlete. It's a huge lake. And then isn't that lake the sky view you see how far out of the shoreline that it froze. And I was like, oh, yes, this is this is actually too cold? Is that like Michigan? Uh? See which lake is there? You lived there for years and don't know. I wasn't really paying attention. Negro. Let me see one second, one second, hold on, I can

look it up in a moment. Not a huge deal. Nobody freak out? What's freaking out? I'm just saying, everybody cobbed down. Yeah, that's like Michigan. Yeah, like Michigan. Why do you not know that? Because you know it's a it's a great lake. So I would just say the great lake. You would just not pick the lake. I just would pick the lake. I'd be like, you know, a great lake right over there, because there's like Michigan, there's eerie, there's here on uh uh, which what's what's

what's the superior? Which I think is you know, being just a little full of yourself. What's his other bitch called Ontario? You've ever met him? You never met him? Maybe it is superior. Maybe it is maybe in a I don't know, I don't work here. What I'm saying is Chicago is the fact that you even survived. Like one of my friends, who's a thin man, moved to Chicago a couple of years ago, and I was really worried about him. I was like, you're gonna have to

get ankle weights. It was like, why I said, because the wind has a name, you're gonna get blown down the street like tumbleweed. So you're Nigeria not made for this. You're not made for that. We're not even supposed to be here, like you know the jump that I have on my half hour where I talk about like black people when I'm supposed to be here, Because we're not supposed to be here. Bro, this ain't this, ain't this,

ain't snow hair. That's why I don't trust these Yankee niggas because they'd be out here like yo I thought were snow Like no, no, no, because to get your jeans, Nigga, this doesn't make no sense. You can't trust these Yankees. You cannot trust these snow niggers. You can't know. It was beautiful for two days and then it shuts your likelf snow is great and then you know what happens in New York. This is what happens in New York.

You just watch the layers of snow and just the amount of dogship that shows up and all this other like you're just watching trash show up. Is what happens with snow melts in New York. Okay, dirty snow, yellow just ice, just the snow. Like. That's why I was when that bomb cyclone hit. I was like, this is a blizzard. Why are we not calling this a blizzard? This is just a bunch of snow. Yes, I'm fully aware that summertime maybe the time of the hurricane. I'm aware.

Mm hmm. The hurricane season starts in August and runs until about what October. Remember, so it tech a good fall. It could be false fault. I'm not I'm not stressing. I'm not stressing that that summer is hurricane season or anything. All I'm saying is that the heat wave. I'd be interested in what kills more people. Is it the heat wave or is it the potential blizzards? And I can tell you that in a lot of states you're not allowed to cut people's gas or power off in the wintertime.

It was Funny's to work in this power company in Florida years ago, and there was a big freeze that happened in Florida. Remember you, we didn't have any tomatoes, Like every like fast of the place is like wing out on tomatoes. There's a big freeze in Florida. The price of oranges shot up in the prices and tomatoes were gone. The price of orange shot to funk up because it was a huge freeze in Florida. And like I the last time there was a big freeze in Florida,

I was living in Florida. And to see people in Miami who have never felt forty degrees, you have to deal with forty degrees with a wild thing. But you're not allowed to couple people. So people were calling and like, hey, you're not allowed to turn my power off. It's the wintertime and it's freezing. And there I was like, well, ma'am, technically that's not a law in your state. Say why, I say, because it's never been cold enough to pass that law. So it's not Yeah, it's never been cold

enough to kill you, right, returning your lights off? Your lights are already, I'll try. But technically this law is not a plat to you because you don't live in Detroit. Concrete hot. It's a different kind of hot. Also, there's no trees like city hot's different. There's no trees to absorbiting heat. There's no real wind coming through nature to alleviate any of it. Like all the wind that you get in New York in the fall in the wintertime is when that you needed in the summer to give

some relief. That's how, you know, just just just we're not supposed to be here, like honestly, we threw all these buildings up, made everything fucking hot. Like I remember as a kid watching David Letterman and the when I was to the joke like, oh, it's hot enough to cook egg on the sidewalk, and then David Madelan was like, glet's see it was like the nineties. Anyone, any litteral loop put an egg on sidewalk and it was like

sunny side up. And I was like, this is this is then clearly, but you're literally making breakfast on concrete. Like the ship is not great. He just throws some home fries next to that bitch. So it's summertime here is different than summertime other places because it's like it's just not right, like all of your like just being I mean, the humidity for me in Louisiana during the summer was what killed me. It was like that because

you always have pants and long sleeve shirts on. We probably no even even when I was just like when I was young, and I wore shorts even then it was so ugly. The thas just did you see that? It doesn't it means odd, it's uh, I was looking down. I didn't see you at all. It was just pure. This man said what I wore. Sure, back in those days when I wore shorts, it was just it was still like walking through hot water. The humidity in Louisiana is a different is a different boost. Uh, it's a

difference that you wash then that's that's a different campaign. Um. Because the humidity in Miami, I'm fully awareable just really, I don't care how many Dominicans you go to that blowout if you don't get it in that state. I took an Atlanta blow out to Miami and it did not make it. My hair swoll up like one of those fucking magic washcloths. Oh good girl, girl, hair is donez Oh. You got to get your hair done in

that humidity to fight that humidity. But the thing is, when you live somewhere that's humid, your skin, oh m beach, because that's what me up. When I moved to l A it was so dried. I grew up in places with humanity at scabs on my face. Yeah, yeah, I I will say here, during the winter it does get extra dry all of the things you apply to your face. But it was also really dry on la because I remember talking one of my friends and she just looked

at me. She was like, bitches, acts like everything's dry, all of it. The last thing I'll say about winter and in its defense, is that I think that there's some things that can be debunked as summer things. All right, all you really need for some good barbecue, I knew you. I mentioned a barbecue. I knew you without mention. Barbecue is to know how to barbecue and to have the ingredients. You don't actually need sun to barbecue. Do you want

to sit out? So you're saying okay, okay, okay. I think the act of barbecueing and having a barbecue are two different things. You can cook meat on a grill year round, but having a bunch of people come over to your house to enjoy grilled meats is easier. I've been to barbecues in the wintertime and they don't hit the saying now, barbecue in the fall, early fall, we're like when it comes nighttime and they're just like that,

like crisp in the air. Somebody will start a fire or something like that that I can fox with, right, Because a barbecue is something that goes all day, and everybody knows the temperature drops at night regardless most of the time. So a barbecue when it's cold, it's like, bro, it was already cold when the sun was out. Now you want me to hold this chicken leg when it's even older. So you're saying, I understand eating barbecue and eating indoors in the winter dark. Yeah, but standing outside

eating potato salad, I'm not doing it. It's too cold. But it's not about It's not about being outside for me. For me, sometimes the outside is to the detriment of the barbecue. Sometimes it's so hot that I'm actually not having fun at this barbecue waiting for the meat to cook. There's a time and place to be in your house, and is a time and place to be in the streets. And I know we're coming to the time and this trash as city where it's gonna be a lot of

in the house. And that's why I got a knitting machine, because that's why Josh Johnson's finding I'll be out here in a nice beanie and a fresh pair of mittens. So do you want the poof at the top, because I can make it. I can make it where it's like a cool guy beanie where there's no little kid poof at the top, or we can have you either being poof Johnson. I mean I would, I would honestly take the no poof. And I don't know if this is too much to ask, but can the inner lining

b sat? I will figure that out for your friend, because I because then if it if it's already satin in the oof, I'm wearing it like every day, you know what I mean, I'll figure that out. I'll figure that out. I'll figure out how to make that happen for you, because I need to make that happen for me. And I don't care if I gotta buy a bonnet it's so inside, because that might be the easiest way to do it. It just gets the biggest size satin bonnets and sell them inside these acts. Look, we want

to kick it to you, the listener. Tell us what you think, because this is the first episode where I can come bently say that there is going to be a part two extension because once we get to beach houses versus cabins. That's that's the in my mind, the continuation like a mountain cabin, beach versus mountains, all the things you could do with that their beach versus the things you do. Listen, I've been saying, described it with hate in your heart. I understand your bias, all right,

of course this is a versus I don't know. It's fine, it's fine. You know said thing like you were crazy. I said by thing like, oh, you know, beach houses or the beach, and then you you had the inflection I heard it. You had the inflection of there like whatever you do. You know, I'm all about expression. Okay, you know, I am all about telling and like it is. But yeah, so we'll kick it over to the listener, because if you have been keeping score, Josh is wrong

a lot. First of all. First of all, First of all, first of all, check yourself, all right, che che, check yourself, check myself? You check? Oh you should blue check yourself. That's I know what usual. Blue I should be verified because because I'm so wrong, I'm so inappropriate for what I'm doing right now that I need to get blue checked. Yeah. Yeah,

Because here's the thing yeah. Sometimes sometimes you win even I can't admit it, all right, But sometimes it's real close, all right, it's it's very close, and then you still take a w like it's just old to you, like you just know it for sure, and it's not. It's not always that. I feel like I'm pretty gracious when I'm right, you know, I feel like I'm I feel like I don't even bring it up, really, you know, And then and then sometimes even right, give me, what's that.

I think I was pretty right for stay cation versus vacation. I think I think I was on point. I think I came with facts. I think I came with figures and figurines. All right. You know what I was so happy about it is now you're just trying to starting this sound like me, and it's just ridiculous. And the last thing I'll say about this because we're gonna we're gonna do this extra episode extended. So if you don't even have an opinion yet and you really want to

be swayed, you can let me know that. You can let me know, Hey, Josh, you you did your best, but you're really gonna have to bring it in the next one because I'm leaning towards summer, I understand, all right. But the last thing I'll say about summer versus winter is summer is about a lot of payoff. You know, you're out in the world. You're getting to see your friends, go on vacation, stuff like that. The winter, the winter of time's about the grind, all right. It's about staying home.

It's about staying home. It's about no days off. It's about doing. It's about doing what the other people don't see because you're inside grinding. Okay. I was. I was in l A. I was talking to some friends while I was in l A, and I was I was telling them about the grind, you know, and I was telling them about the no days off, and it's like, look, you need to work until you can't work anymore. And if you have a heart attack, that means your heart

was a quitter and it couldn't grind hard enough. All right, So stay warm, stay grinding, and stay wintery. Okay. If you if you want to be a summertime bug, I get that too, all right. I get I get you wanted to flap your wings and fly and go all the places and stuff. But if you really care about the grind. That's a wintertime thing. The winter isn't always fun. Sometimes it's hard, and you need hard to grind you

into the diamond that you are. When it's cold outside, you want to be a frozen diamond or you want to be a a like warm, warm, little bikini top. Yeah, I'm saying like, like, what do you really wanted your life? Okay, hey, you're just this has been hold up, which we've never fully explained the entire title of the show because it's hold up, sure, but really it's hold up. Are you grinding? Okay? Hold up?

not this cretay. Listen by Josh Johns's book Grind So You Die. I wrote the forward for it because he wouldn't stop calling me and um, let's just it's illegal in fifteen states, so, um just because states aren't motivated. And he also believes in child labor, so which I don't wholly disagree with. Look, let the kids grind, hey man. Not every kid's going to college, bro, Let the kids work.
