01:25.22

Andrew

Like I want to be the sandwich king.

01:25.77

Sean

Yeah.

01:27.09

Andrew

Like that's such a fun place to live in and play in.

01:29.79

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just gotta be like a chiseled Asian guy.

01:33.15

Yeah, I mean, he is he is jacked and very attractive.

01:33.90

Sean

Great hair.

01:36.98

Sean

Yeah.

01:38.15

Andrew

But yeah, I mean, he just makes videos of himself making sandwiches and eating them, which is like. I'm sure it has its own ups and downs and pressure and whatnot, but as content creation niches go, it seems like a pretty decent one.

01:55.09

Sean

I don't know. I feel like you might run out of sandwiches. I mean, I guess not, but...

02:01.08

Sean

I don't know. I mean... What am I to say? I don't know shit about content creation.

02:08.27

Andrew

Yeah, what do you do when when making sandwiches is no longer fulfilling for you?

02:09.84

Sean

It just...

02:11.79

Andrew

You've got to got elevate your game somehow.

02:14.06

Sean

Yeah. It's only filling, not fulfilling. I don't know. Switch the wraps. There we go.

02:21.23

Andrew

What's going on with to you?

02:21.23

Sean

yeah take over another um um well speaking of food i've gotten really into liquid death i've probably drank at least 50 worth of liquid death in like the past week yeah multiple in no no the flavored ones the flavored yeah there's like tea there's like some that have tea but they're like low sugar so um

02:33.05

Andrew

God damn. Yeah. It's just, you know, you can get that stuff out of the tap in your kitchen, right? Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Uh

02:47.01

Sean

I got like a tall boy here that's like green tea. made like a so flavored soda sparkling water, which is like two grams of sugar. They're not very good to be honest with you. The other ones are better.

02:54.95

Andrew

Yeah.

02:55.69

Sean

There's like a lime seltzer one. That's really good.

02:58.05

Andrew

Unfortunately, sugar is like part of what makes things taste good. So when you do the low sugar stuff, it just doesn't taste as good usually.

03:04.24

Sean

Oh, I think it doesn't taste good because, I think it actually, they lie about it or so they're not, they're not, they don't lie about it. They're, they're. being intellectually dishonest about it.

03:15.29

Sean

They say two grams of sugar and then a fuck ton of Stevia.

03:17.90

Andrew

yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:18.42

Sean

but oh

03:20.44

Andrew

I noticed that I've been drinking some of the, the fair life protein shakes.

03:21.68

Sean

yeah

03:25.61

Andrew

And I was at first, I was like, holy fuck, how do they get 42 grams of protein into this thing and make it not taste like butt?

03:31.39

Sean

Right.

03:33.99

Sean

Right.

03:34.41

Andrew

and then afterwards I was like, I know that aftertaste.

03:38.16

Sean

I see.

03:38.31

Andrew

So they're like, they're yeah, they're doing the same thing.

03:39.74

Sean
