Hey, uh, we got a Wander shout out. Wander, uh, they're dope. It's like Airbnb but cooler. And today we'll be making some lakeside memes. It is spicy meme summer, as you guys know if you got the calendar invite. So we're going to be making some spicy summer memes. All right, we are obviously using my software, Memelord Technologies. As you could tell, I got a different setup today. I'm trying out, trying out a little bit of the tripod thing. Let me know in the chat if this looks cool. I'm trying out this, this tripod thing. Also, don't ask me about the sticker. I stole it. All right, that's all I'm saying. All right. All right. First question, first question for all of you: why do white people like lakes so much? It's just a thing. All right, this is all a man needs. Nice little lakeside meme stream, okay? That is all a man needs at the end of the day. I'm liking this, this angle. All right, food, lake, lake.
Oh no, summer camp.
Hell yes, you know I'm about to be jumping in that lake later. You know what's going on. All right, what else should we add in here? Food, psychological needs, money. Definitely a psychological need, everybody knows that. Lake on a summer day. Yes, there we go. Lake, lakes when you're a white guy.
Lakes when you're—
Lake on a summer day. All right, money, love. I'll say love, we'll put love. Here we go.
Nice, nice.
All right, we need one more thing. What do we put here, guys? Basic needs, shelter. All right, this is all a man really needs is a nice lake on a summer day, okay? I'm not asking for much, but as a certified quirked-up white boy, I grew up on lakes and I like being on lakes. I like jumping in lakes. I like lake time activities. I like laying in lakes. I like going to the lake with my friends. I like fishing in lakes. All right, this is all a quirked-up white boy needs for self-fulfillment. Okay, we don't need that much else. We're very simple creatures. Okay, we just need— uh, yes, lake equals wealth in American. Yes, country music on the lake, there is nothing better. Okay, it's absolutely beautiful. Country music on the lake, hanging at the lake with the friends. Like, you have not truly experienced America until you've experienced a lake, all right? Everybody's talking about data lakes. Fuck that. I'm talking about real lakes right here, okay? This is the real Lakeside meme stream. Uh, hopefully we'll be doing more Lakeside meme streams because I'll be spending a lot of time at lakes this summer. Um, you know, just being a corked up white boy who loves a good lake. What can I say? I'm a simple man who likes a lake. All right, next meme. We're gonna— this is spicy meme summer, guys. Um, what is up, Stetson? Oh, dogs and burgers on the lake. Yes, bro, it's all a man needs. Floating on the lake. Oh, just a nice little float sesh. That is all a man needs. All right, um, wait, wait, I gotta go in, I gotta go in. All right, uh, All right, you're, you're, uh, you're a white boy but you can't name every lake. I don't know what it is about white people, but we just love lakes, all right? We just really do. I love, uh, I do, I love a good lake, you know. Like, that is— that's it. Uh, you're American but you can't name every lake. No, I like the you're a white boy. That's a better one. Yeah. All right, I'm adding these below. Sunburnt and drunk at the end of a lake day. Yes sir, yes sir. Falling in love at the lake. Nothing hits harder. Okay. Bringing your girl, like going fishing at the lake. There's so many things you could do with the lake. Alright, people don't understand this. Alright, there's nothing better than a good lakeside meme stream. Also making memes at lake, incredible. Alright, let's see what else we got here. Here we go. That's it. If she brings you to her lake house, to her lake house, marry her, okay? That is all I'm gonna say. If she brings you to her lake house, you have to marry her, all right? That is the rule of God, all right? This is not me saying this, Jason Levin. This is God saying this through me, 'cause I'm a prophet. Who's speaking in tongues that happens to be memes. All right. Yeah, I'm definitely getting arrested for that one. All right, all right. Stetson, what's going on? Are you at a lake today? You should, you should be at a lake, dude. It's summer. It's spicy meme summer. You guys have heard of hot girl summer? Spicy meme summer goes a lot harder. Spicy memes is unironically how you get the hot girls. I actually picked up my ex with a meme. That's a fun fact. Sent her a meme via Facebook Messenger chat. Not gonna lie, pretty good, pretty good. So memes make marriages, memes also make breakups if you post too spicy of a meme, you know what I'm saying? All right, let's see what else we got. Ooh, scientists have discovered third state between life and death. I think it would be called sitting at the lake. Purgatory. Lakeside purgatory. That's all a man needs, all right? It's just chilling, just chilling, absolutely chilling. All right, let's see what else we got. What else? Oh, here we go. Something all Americans can agree on. I All right, nice lakeside barbecue. I was actually— all right, theory. The reason why men love barbecuing is because it's a primal urge, okay? Basically, when men were, you know, hunting and gathering, right? After the hunting and gathering, they would cook up the food, right? And that is literally what barbecuing is, all right? It's the same thing. You're just cooking up burgers with your boys. And the DNA that got passed down from our great-great-great-great-grandparents who were out hunting and gathering for, you know, wildebeest and the big animals or whatever, those are the same guys that are now cooking up burgers and enjoying, you know, a nice lakeside day. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. If you like a good barbecue, just know that it is— DNA is why you like barbecuing, all right, with your boys. Alright, yo, get to a lake immediately, Stetson, for your mental health, bro. Get to a lake. I don't know what it is. I feel like I just love, I love a lake. It's just good for the mental health. I was in the hospital yesterday. That was not fun. The day before as well. It was not good. I accidentally, speaking of barbecues, I undercooked a sausage. And had a little bit of a stomach bug and already had this trip planned. So I was like, yeah, I'm not missing this trip. So I love lakes. We can all agree upon. I'm running on this party. Okay, this is the party I'm running on is the lake party. You know, Elon said that there needed to be a third party. It's the lake party. Everybody loves a good lake party. Okay. Alright, very simple, very simple. This is the platform I'm running on, and that's it. I'm running on this platform, and I'm probably gonna be president. Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely gonna be president on this platform. Alright, alright, let's see what else we got here. Let's find some classics. All right. Oh, all right. Wait, I thought of a really good one earlier. All right, this is unrelated to lakes, but I was in the shower earlier and had a shower meme thought. Happens to the best of us. All right, on the left side, right, we have hot shower nice, right? You know what I'm saying? So on the left side, hot shower nice. I like warmth. Something like that. All right. And then on the right side you also have that. And then in the middle you have cold shower, cold plunge, cold balls. All right, what is the deal with cold showers? I don't fucking get it, all right? I don't feel more awake after a cold shower. I just feel angry at the world, all right? God gave us central heating for a reason, man. Cold shower, cold plunge, I feel so alive, I'm going to kill myself. It's like Ah man, I remember the fakest entrepreneur I ever met was in love with cold showers. Like, he is still working at a car dealership right now, and he was like grind hard entrepreneur, right? One of those kids in college. And yeah, he's working at a car dealership, but he took cold showers every day. So, you know, he's a better person than you. Hey, whatever floats your boat, guys. You know, I guess, I guess working at a car dealership That's a sort of entrepreneurship in its own way. But anyways, yeah, you don't need to take cold showers, okay? I take a warm shower every day. I've never taken a cold plunge. I'm doing just fine, all right? You don't fucking need a cold shower, all right? God invented warm showers for a reason, all right? Because they're nice. I love a warm shower, all right? Not gonna lie. And I think everybody can agree with that. All right, it's like, it's not that, not that hard. Um, all right, we're gonna make another one of these. Uh, what are we thinking? Oh shit, dude, it's Juneteenth. I like lakes. Um, wait, wait, wait, I, I got it, I gotta go. I like lakes. I like lakes. Uh, lakes belong to the Native Americans. Uh, la keh. Is that like?
La keh, sure. They don't belong to white boys.
Um, alright. Uh, here we go. Here we go. Alright? Just enjoy the lakes, alright? We don't need to apologize for enjoying our lakes, okay? It's called the Great Lakes. For a reason, 'cause they're great, okay? Look at this lake. It's not the Great Lake, but it is a great lake. You know what I'm saying? It's a great lake. Steely Dan on the lake. Oh, Steely Dan on the lake, it's different, you know? Dave Matthews Band on the lake, nothing better, okay? If you are not at a lake right now, I encourage you to immediately get to a lake as soon as possible, okay? Shout out to the 12 million people currently watching on Twitch. Oh shit, does that say 12? I'm gonna keep doing that joke every time until there's eventually 12 million people on Twitch. You guys, if you guys are Twitchers or Twatchers, you should, you should follow me. Yacht Rock on my pontoon. Oh, I need me some fucking Yacht Rock music. All right, some Jimmy Buffett, bro. Nothing better than some Jimmy Buffett, all right? I need me— All right! This is my current situation. And Mark safe from not being at lake today or guess what's more likely to be true... Oh wait, how do you think they made lakes? It was literally like yo, We should build a body of water.
We should make a lake.
Something like this where they're like, yo, it's hot AF in the middle of the woods right now. I would have loved to be a white guy just building a lake, like one of the original lake builders. You know what I'm saying? It's truly an honor to build these lakes. Who do you think built these lakes?
Incredible.
All right. Amazing. All right. Yeah, I'm going to rant about lakes for the next hour. That's right, because it's spicy meme summer. She pawned on my tune till I boat. All right. All right. Oh, here we go. Here we go. You know what? All a man needs, or all a man needs is one missing piece. Sometimes all a man needs is one small piece. All right, beautiful, beautiful. See, that is how meme templates can be used for everything. All right, and this is all a man needs, uh, this summer. All right, all you need is spicy memes and a lake. All right. It's a very simple lifestyle. Can you laugh and can you enjoy a lake? That's all a man needs, all right? We are meme streaming here live from a wander. Shout out wander, by the way. Thank you, Stetson. Go outside, go touch some grass, dude. Also, if you guys need to touch grass and you want to get incentivized for it with blockchain and AI crypto that talks to your brain, check out sillyvalley.vc/nature. Live, laugh, lake. I like that. Last episode I made, Nature as a Service, that was a, that was a pretty fun one because nobody in tech touches grass. Dude, I'm at this lake and I'm not even touching grass right now. What is wrong with me? I'm sitting here meme streaming. Honestly, I'm happier. I'm happy. It's hot as fuck out, bro. No, I'll be in the lake later, I promise. But, but I must work. This is work. When your life is making memes and you're, you know, this is my software. This is the best way to show off the software is streaming. So meme stream is, is hard work, baby. It's hard work. It's hard being such a, such a meme streamer. You know, that's how it is. That's somebody's got to do it. All right, let's see what else we're making here. We got some more trending memes today. All right, all right, all right, let's see, let's see, uh, uh, let's see. Oh, this looks like where I am right now. Where's this one? Oh, all right, nice little ChatGPT memes. I love these ChatGPT memes because you could just fill them in very easily. And so you're like, I don't like lakes. And then it's literally just like contacting the authorities, right? And so we have all sorts of these ChatGPT memes and AI memes where it's these very simple Mad Lib kind of things. If you liked Mad Libs as a kid, you definitely like memes. I really think there's some sort of connection there where it is literally just different ways of playing with words and sentences. Or it's like, how can you enjoy your summer if you don't go to a lake?
It's very true.
It's very true. There's no way, you know. ChatGPT thought for 69 hours and 42 minutes, and it's impossible to enjoy your summer without a lake. Alright, shout out this lake. I don't even know what the lake is called, but it's a nice lake. Uh, if you're here in the chat, tell me about your favorite lakes. I don't want to hear about anything else. I just want to hear about your favorite lakeside memories. Um, I'm going to tell you about some of my favorite lakeside memories. So fun fact, my uncle actually does have a lake house, and every July 4th we would go, uh, hang out by the lake just chill out, listen to music. So I really think there is something truly American about a nice lake, you know. They don't have lakes like this in other places. This is just a beautiful lake. Oh, what else is this one? All right, let's see what else we got today. What else we got on the meme, on Meme Lord Technologies? I love saying it like that. Meme Lord Technologies. I tried using some of the, like, the bullshit AI video creators to, like, come up with ads or whatever for Memelord. It would always be like, "Memelord Technologies" or "Memelord Technologies." Oh, all right. I love these wikiHow ones. How to tell your girl you want to go to the lake. What else are we thinking? Meta. Dude, Mark Zuckerberg is on a buying streak right now. I don't know if you guys saw this. He just put in $14 billion into Scale AI. He's apparently putting $1 billion for Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman and their fund, which seems low. I feel like these guys are worth a lot more. I feel like that was fake news. But Zuck spending money. Zuck. Zuck. Oh, actually, you know what? How to beat Sam Altman. That's like what's going on right now. I think Zuck is afraid. I think he's very afraid of Sam right now. Let's see if we got any like fight memes in here. Oh, speaking of Zuck. All right, let's see what we got. Yeah, I think there's some serious shit going down right now. We're like, wait, this is so good. It's like, wait, actually, you know what? We're changing topics. Zuck. All right, we're gonna say like Zuck right here, I'm thinking. Give me a sec, give me a sec, let me get the right font. Zuck, Sam A, and then like, uh, who's sucking it? Uh, I guess Satya. Uh, that's like the current state of AI right now. It's like Zuck and Sam are just fucking grinding, and Google's doing good, they just don't market it well. So maybe Satya is not a good example. Who's like doing bad? Anthropic? No, Claude's doing good, Claude's doing Even though it's definitely a psyop. I think Claude's a psyop. I definitely think Claude's a psyop. 100%. 100%. All right, what else we got here? What else we got? I'm feeling, uh, I'm feeling one of these. Let me drink some more coffee. Oh, this one's good. I forgot about this. What's this from? All right, let's see what else we got here. What else is going on in the news today? Anybody else know what's going on? Oh wait, I got us— I got some spicy memes for you guys. Um, where's, uh, where's, uh, I Don't Think About You? Give me one sec. I'm just finding, finding something.
All right, all right.
Oh, here we go. How to make a white person happy. Lakes. Very simple. All right, if you want to make a white guy happy, You just take him to a lake. All right, that's literally it. Okay, because men can do anything at a lake. We can fish, we can barbecue, we can paddleboard. I don't really paddleboard. We can just float around. Nothing a man likes more than floating. All right, so ladies, if you want to make your man happy on Father's Day or their birthday or anniversary, You don't have to do much. We'll just go to a lake. Just, just take us to a lake. All right, we'll know what to do from there. All right, it's like some primal instinct or something. We're just like, we know what to do. I know what to do. I'm gonna make some fucking barbecue. That's all we need. All right, that's— it's very simple. All right, you know what, let's see, uh, let's see what else we got here. It's funny, we're just gonna have like 50 lake memes. That's— Memelord Technologies, the lake meme platform. Oh, I've never even seen this one. I love it when that happens, when there's a meme in Memelord Tech that I've just never straight up seen. It's so funny. Oh, this is good. I feel like this is, huh, this is like people praying that— oh, you know what? This is some of those fucking— remember Builder.ai? They just went out. It's like somebody praying that like Bolt and Lovable— oh, I've heard this a lot. People are like Bolt and Lovable, their churn is going to be terrible. And so it's like VCs praying that that'll go down. Maybe it's something about— You know what, let's find some Ramp shit, 'cause they just announced a big raise. Shout out Ramp, the skateboard company. All right, let me, let's find something real quick. Ramp, Ramp, Ramp, Ramp, Ramp, Ramp, Ramp UI UX.
All right.
Give me one sec. Here we go.
Boop. All right.
So this is the VCs who slept on Ramp. I feel like they're secretly praying. They're just like, Ramp just announced a $16 billion valuation for a skateboard company. Incredible. You could just do things, guys. You could just build a skateboard company that happens to also do finance stuff, and you'll be worth $16 billion too.
Facts. Facts.
That's a fun fact. All right, back to Lake memes. My brain doesn't have the capacity for serious things right now. Too tired from the night in the hospital. That shit was crazy, man.
Not fun.
Oh, that is some lakeside ingredients. All right, this is, uh, this and a lake. It's all a man needs. All right, this and a lake. Oh, I love these vibey memes, man. I love these. I've been playing around with a lot of these. Uh, you'll see some stuff soon. Is literally all a man needs to be happy. Okay. Just, just get me Coors Light or a Diet Coke, preferably. That's it. All right, that's, that's all a man needs. All right, my editor is gonna be very confused. He's like, you said you were doing a meme stream, why is it just Lake memes for an hour and a half, bro? What the hell is wrong with you? Be like, well, I White boys really like lakes, okay? Alright, we really like lakes. I'm a simple man who really likes lakes. Man, this is definitely the most scenic, uh, scenic meme stream I've ever done. It's fucking crazy. I've got the iPhone set up. I learned how to do that. I'm basically a, you know, a mad scientist at this point. Um, film school dropout motherfuckers. Just kidding. I never went to film school. All right, let's see what else we got. All right, anything good? Anything good? Let's see what's popping in the news. Anything's popping in the news? Maybe we'll review some recent memes. Let's do that. Let's see what's going on. All right, that's so funny. One of my buddies quote tweeted this and said, get to a meme immediately, or get to a lake immediately. It's very true. If you're not at a lake, it's like, what are you even doing? So let's— let me show you some recent stuff. All right. All right. Naval tweets this. If they can train you to do it, they can train a machine to do it. What he's saying is if they could train you to do a certain type of work, you will get replaced by machines. And that's why I quoted it with this meme. Become ungovernable. Become ungovernable. All right, become the dog that walks itself. All right, you don't want to be able to be trained. Do things that can't be trained. All right, and you'll never be replaced if you're so unhinged or weird or different in your own way. Funny humor is the last frontier for AI to touch. All right, embrace that. All right, lean into it. Doesn't matter if, uh, you know, you can't do science or biophysics. Is that a thing, biophysics? Or I don't know, whatever, man. Embrace who you are. Become ungovernable. All right, if you could be taught, if you could be, you know, trained like a dog— or I guess not like that dog— but if you could be trained or whipped into shape, all right, you're gonna get replaced. All right, become ungovernable. All right, so my theory here is Every founder— here, let me— let's zoom in on this. All right, every founder should fake his death quarterly to monitor how his team handles the situation. All right, you want to know how your team's going to do when you're away? Don't just go away for a day, all right? That's some BS old-school management tactics, Harvard MBA. Fake your fucking death, okay? Take it to the next level. You want to see how your team does without you? You want to see if they're going to continue your legacy? Fake your death. All right. So that's why I went to the hospital. Just kidding. It was food poisoning. But I texted my team after, "Surprise, bitches, I'm alive." And they continued to work hard and prosper. I'm extremely proud of them. And, you know, they kept the business going. All right. So that is my advice here is fake your death quarterly. If you really want to up it up a level, then fake your death more often or have your team fake their deaths too. That way you see how everything's going. Antonio García Martínez, he's the author of Chaos Monkeys. You want to know what a chaos monkey is? It's when you throw something in the code base that breaks everything. Want to know what the biggest chaos monkey is? The founder dying. So fake your death. Do it quarterly. See how your team's doing. All right. All right. This is the real Palantir-Israel connection, all right? People talk about how Palantir was responsible for the Hezbollah pagers.
Nah.
They talk about how they're responsible for drones. Nope. They talk about the Iron Dome.
No.
It's the Jewish moms, all right? They run a surveillance state, all right? They know where you are. They know what you're doing at all times. They have networks. They have a spy network. Even the Jewish wives do, all right? It's the same thing, all right? Palantir is basically a Jewish mom for the universe, all right? So that's the real Palantir-Israel connection. All right, we're gonna, we're gonna keep going on some memes here. See, oh, all right, this is one of my best ideas. I woke up from a dream and had this idea, all right? Tuna Zinn. All right, all these guys walk around with Zinns in their back pocket. I was like, huh, imagine if that was tuna. I'm gonna be a billionaire from this idea. I'm telling you. All right, protein in every Zinn. All right, imagine you just pop a little bit of tuna in, you know what I'm saying? I have some in right now. I have some in all the time. All right, you get protein in, you scare the hoes. Which you're already doing with the Zyn anyways, you know, um, and, uh, you also don't have any nicotine issues, right? So the new pre-workout is no longer Zyn, it is tuna fish. All right, so, um, I am taking investments for Tuna Zyn. If you're looking to invest in Tuna Zyn, please let me know. Um, this is not tuna-flavored Zyn, it is just straight up tuna that you could pack in your lip, all right? If you're not packing tuna in lips, uh, if you're not packing tuna lips, you're not gonna make it, all right? Every finance bro, they're packing zins all day to work harder. Why don't make you work harder is, uh, protein and your breath smells so bad that you can't talk to women, all right? Then you're focused, you're fucking locked in, all right? So have a tuna zin today. Order at tunazin.com. All right, let's see what else we got. Oh, that one's a funny one. That one's good. This is literally what it feels like with this beautiful nature around us. Oh, all right, this should have gone viral, but it didn't. Um, all right, all these fuckers who are like, this prompt will make you $1 million, it is literally the new dropshipping. All right, all these threads, all these videos TikToks, everything. This prompt will change your life. This prompt will make you $1 million. You know who you are, all right? You know who you are if you are doing this. You are lying. You are click— you're not even clickbait. You're not even clickbaiting. You are just straight up lying, okay? Because no prompt will make you $1 million. No prompt will save you $1 million, all right? It's just the new dropshipping hustle bro chorus, okay? Stop that shit, all right? If this prompt will make you $1 million, why are you giving it away? Okay, because you're trying to sell a course or you're trying to sell a bullshit community or something. Okay, I know your secret and I am watching you. I don't even know what a prompt is. All right. But I know that it's a lie. But seriously, if you are falling for this prompt will make you $1 million stuff, then you've probably actually never prompted AI because you know that like there's no prompt that will do that. All right. Just write prompts, write it however you want. Figure out the best ones. That's about it. Okay. All right. It's very simple. Stop that shit. If you're one of those guys who is making this prompt will make you $1 million threads and videos, you're a bad person. All right. You're taking advantage of idiots, which isn't fun. Okay. At least take advantage of smart people. All right. Let's see what else we got. Let's see what else we got. We're just going through some memes.
All right.
All right. You know what? I'll talk about this video. So I built nature as a service for tech bros. It is a very serious business. Technology brothers don't go outside. This leads to depression, tech neck, you know, the neck pain leads to lack of talking to women, sunlight issues, etc. So I built nature as a service. A billionaire actually paid me to take him on a walk in equity. And yeah, it was a pretty fun episode to film. Make sure you guys check it out if you haven't watched it yet. But seriously, I do think there needs to be some sort of nature as a service or touch grass as a service. I know somebody launched an app called Touch Grass, but something to remind you to go outside and touch grass. Shout out Yoni from BrainRot. I really think people who are building the phone screen time stuff right now, super important. I am obviously an internet maximalist, very online kind of guy, but even I keep my phone bricked half the day so I don't scroll through bullshit. And so I could actually get deep work done. So big fan of the barbell theory. You know what, let me actually make some barbell memes. That's what I'm feeling right now. Barbell PNG. All right. So I think the barbell theory was started by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. And basically, the idea is you either do— you're either all in or you're all out on something. And so I'm going to show you some examples. Of what this means. What this means. Just said what this means. So the barbell theory is you're either all in or you're all out. All right. So this is how I treat my phone is either locked in drinking Celsius grinding all day on phone, phone and laptop. So this is one side of the barbell. Okay. And this is the other, is like phone off. Or phone on airplane mode inside of house. In other room, I guess. So phone on airplane mode, here we go.
Phone notebook out.
All right. So this is the barbell theory example, all right? It's either you are locked in, drinking Celsius, grinding all day, right? Or you are totally offline, right? So phone off, I got my notebook out, I got my pencil, I'm just like sitting, imagining things, reading, maybe going on walks in nature, right? Barbell theory, all right? Let me show you more examples. This is gonna be a good series actually, barbell theory of memes or barbell memes. What else we got here? I think one is like cheat day. We could do something around that. Cheat day is like— or either like all VC-backed. Oh, I got one. Indie hacker. It's like indie hacker, I will never take VC money. You know who I'm talking— like Peter Levels, for example, right? Indie hacker. I will never take VC money. I'm making $3 mil a year traveling world, right? So you're either all in on one or you are all in on the other. It's like, I'm raising money. Let's go build a unicorn, all right? A lot of people are in the middle, and that's a problem in tech, is like they want to be indie hackers and then they're applying to YC. Like I saw a few people who I respect who are like indie hackers, but why are you applying to YC if you're an indie hacker? And then like hating on YC. Like dude, just what? It doesn't make sense. So either be one side of the barbell, all right? Another one, let's, oh wait, I forgot to screenshot that other one. It's OK. Let me— oh, I love undo buttons, man.
Let's see, does this show up?
Oh boy. Oh boy.
Cool, cool. Boom.
All right, forgot to save that one. We're going to do a whole series here of barbell memes. What are some other examples? I feel like cheat day is a good example of like— You're either like all eating, you're, uh, what is it, like you're, you're not eating much, you're eating healthy, and then it's like a cheat day is like all fucking foods, right? Yeah, I guess that would be the example there. Let me, uh, try that again. Also, I'm adding memes in the thread underneath the meme stream, uh, if you want to check it out at all. You could check out all the memes there. Shout out Jovian for sharing the meme stream. I wish you were here, buddy. Jovian was with me for 2 weeks in America, and now he's back to Taiwan, and I miss him. I miss him. So sad.
Sad.
I'm a sad boy. All right, let's see what else we got here. I will go add the barbell PNG again. All right, so what other barbell theories we got here? I feel like you're either all in or all out on something. Hey, wait, wait, I got one, I got one. You're all in, listen to, listen to All In. Well, actually, you know what, I got one. This is like a little bit different, but it's like locked in on All in. Listen, listen to, listen, listen to podcasts nonstop and watch educational YouTube videos. I feel like your information diet has to either be like one of the two, one of the two. Watch educational videos, read. Hard books. You either have to be like all in on like your content or just like you could just pop off for a second, like listen to music. Or actually, you know what?
Yeah, listen to music, watch cartoons.
Well, actually, you know what? I got one. I got one.
Actually, Spanish. Podcast, TV, movies, talk to people.
All right, so two sides of the barbell here, all right? It's either like everything on one side, you're just like filling up your head with all sorts of stuff, right? Music, podcast, TV, movies, talking to people, just filling up everything. And then that's great, that's totally fine. That's one side of the barbell. And then the other side of the barbell is just complete silence. And it's so nice to go from one side of the barbell to the other side of the barbell. It's really what— I love the barbell theory in general of a way of life is you are either one side of the barbell or you're other. Choose a side. All right. Good example of this is sexuality.
No.
Barbell theory. Let's see what other examples are on the internet. Oh, I got one. All right, I got one. All right, aggressive, aggressive. You're either aggressive or nice. Like, just don't be passive-aggressive, okay? Either be nice or be aggressive and be a dick. Tell somebody to fuck off. I do it all the time. I block people all the time. I tell people to fuck off. I get in fights every day, or I'm super nice, but I am never passive-aggressive because being passive-aggressive is for pussies. All right, so choose the barbell theory, okay? I hate passive-aggressive people. I'd rather you just be actually aggressive, okay? Just be aggressive. It's okay to tell me to fuck off. That's fine. Do it! Just don't be a passive-aggressive pussy. It's very simple, okay? Choose one, alright? Pick a side, people. Pick a side. It's very simple, okay? It's a lot more fun to like actually just be aggressive-aggressive than be passive-aggressive. Alright, we got— let's find some more examples here. We are out here doing memetic research, man. Oh wait, oh, stocks, that's a good one. Oh, that's a good one. I guess one would be like S&P 500 and chill, day trading, looking at every stock or spending all day analyzing stocks.
Stocks, uh, doing research, picking individually.
Um, so like, again, a great example of barbell theory is like, either pick one. Both are fine, but make sure you go all in on either side, right? So you could either like, okay, fine, you want to spend all day analyzing stocks, doing research, picking individually, it's cool. That's totally fine. Or you want to go S&P 500 and chill, also fine. But like, generally pick one, I think. Like, the barbell theory, like, super applies. Don't be like, you know, half-ass just throwing out money here and there, all right? I think the barbell theory definitely applies to that one. See what else it applies to. Definitely applies to— I feel like it— oh, want to know who I heat with?
Talk about politics.
All right, wait, I've got a great example. All right, either barbell theory of politic— barbell theory of political discussion, okay? Either don't talk about politics or talk about politics. Don't do the middle where you're talking about everything and then all of a sudden, You are making some weird political connections. And he's like, I hate politics. I don't want to talk about politics. I don't actually like politics. But then everything is some political bullshit. All right. Like, that is why, for better or worse, All In, like, I do kind of respect it because it's like, oh, we're a political podcast now because our guy got into the fucking White House. Like, it makes sense. They're talking about politics. All right. That makes sense. It's not like they can just not talk about politics. It's important, right? But, uh, you know, and then on the other side, a lot of tech podcasts or a lot of like creators like don't talk about politics at all. Totally fine as well. But like being in the middle where you're like, uh, I don't talk about politics, and then you're like secretly dropping political hints all the time, it's fine. I talk about politics, I talk about it all the time. Like, that's okay, just pick one. There's nothing wrong with it. I think a lot of the barbell theory is just really like knowing who you are and filtering for that generally. It's like, are you, you know, like either go all in on one of the two. Like that is it, I would say. All right, let's see what else we're going. Oh, nice. Barbell Theory, let's see.
Alright, yeah.
Alright, I feel like that was what, 4 or 5 different barbell memes? That should be a good— that's a good series. I like it. Barbell series. If you guys aren't making memes, you really should be. You know what, another example of this is around making memes. It's either I don't make memes Pick one. Either I don't make memes, totally fine, you're a fucking loser. No, I'm just kidding, but it's totally fine. I don't make memes, okay, fine. Or you go all in, become a meme lord, okay, and go hard. All right, whatever software you use, you should use ours, but like if you're gonna do something, go all out. It's the same thing actually, you know it, with like video in general too. I think Either do the just plain, if you're doing short-form video, either just do the plain talking head camera or go hard on crazy edits and stuff like that or do something crazy. It's either like, it's really the Barbell Theory of picking both sides. It's like, or choose one and stick to it. I think that's the main message there. All right, we're gonna jump in here. Back to Tucker memes. Wait, wait, wait.
All right.
Maybe we'll end on this one. You call yourself a white boy? Actually, name every lake.
All right.
All right. That is where we're ending today is name every lake. If you are a white man and you can't name every lake in America, you're not going to make it, all right? This is spicy meme summer. We're going to be dropping memes like this. A lot of big, big news coming with Memelord very soon. And I'm very excited to share it with you. It's going to be an insane summer of releases, features, new launches, stunts, and projects. It's going to be insane. The shit that we are cooking up right now internally is absolutely crazy, both from a feature perspective and from a pure media perspective. I'm super excited. I've never been this excited in my life working with a team like this. We've now expanded. It's growing fast. And yeah, like I said, big announcements coming soon. It's going to be a spicy meme summer. All right, peace out.
