It's exactly what I said for 2019 for 2020 remember? Yeah, I'm just making sure. Alright, anyways, welcome back to Talking Nonsense. I'm your host Colin.
I'm here with Christopher. And what's what we talked about today? We're talking about relationships, part 3. Oh shit, I think we're eating the part 3 now.
I mean, honestly, we talked about relationships with so much of you that we're so fucking long. I'm so fucking long. Not only, not anymore. Thank you for being here.
Praise Jesus. So, actually, speaking of which, I think that was like one of my goals, like for 2019 slash 2020. Or whatever. Was the girlfriend?
Yeah. I mean, you know, like, what's wrong with it? Yeah, I accomplished it, bro. I did.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy? 2020, dude. What are you here, right?
God, what a year here. What a fucking year. What's happened for you in 2020? You know, the beginning of the year wasn't so bad.
Middle year kind of sucked. The later half of the year definitely sucked. So, overall, this year sucks. Like every other year, you know?
Every other year for you? Yeah, no. That's just another year. You know, just by how much, like, whatever negative things that happen.
Like, there are some positive moments that come out and, you know, like, I'm still alive. So, you know, I'm going to have to be grateful. You know, it's so great. God damn.
It's so crazy how much, like, has happened in this year. And like, what's even crazy to think about is like, I remember the first thing that happened at the beginning of this year. Like, well, I believe it was like the first thing. Well, no, first thing was, so like, literally New Year's Day, like after we did the countdown and anything, right?
Yeah. Rebecca, my fiance still happened to sleep over. We wake up. Okay.
And she like, you know, it's brand new day, brand new year. We're feeling good about ourselves, you know, we go downstairs. We need a huge ass breakfast, right? And I'm ready just to spend the day relaxing, chilling, or whatever.
Rebecca's gone upstairs. Like after we eat, I'm like, watching the dishes and stuff. And then I go upstairs, like, again, ready to relax, sit back, lay down in bed, just sleep all day or whatever, right? That's how I wanted to start 2020.
I walk into the room and Rebecca goes, babe, let's go hiking. Like, wait, what? She was, come on, New Year, New Us, let's go hiking. I was like, okay, yeah, sure.
Yeah, let's go tomorrow. So I'm just like, no, right now. I'm like, what do you mean right now? It's like right now, like my friend's hitting us up.
They want to go hiking. It's like eight in the morning at this point. Okay. We got it pretty early.
But I'm just like, okay, um, you know, I had them in Talia, my head like, yeah, New Year, New Me, you know, new girlfriend. I don't want to upset her. So the turf friends asking, so like, all right, I guess I got to say yes. Yeah.
We go hiking, right? Worst decision ever. Okay. Because one, I'm not, this is the one where you get scared?
Okay, ruin the story for me. Sorry. No, I'm not bad. One, I'm not that athletic.
Okay. Yeah. I know a lot of you were saying like, hiking's not that hard, Kyle. Well, if you're not fucking athletic to begin with, it's hard.
Yeah. Okay. And two, it was right after we had a huge ass breakfast. Okay.
My stomach was full. And three, they said this hike was easy. This bitch was not easy. Okay.
Well, they got easy the second half. Like the first half was like this fucking rocky ass trail. It's like the beginning of January, right? When like winter sort of dying down, but it's been raining and shit.
Yeah. So the place is all muddy and slippery and so. I don't even have hiking shoes, bro. I went in on, in like some fucking Nike's.
Yeah. Okay. I feel like you were like, you know, like some fucking roshies or whatever. Oh, yeah.
Okay. Not hiking shoes, bro. So I'm like struggling, like climbing up these hills and stuff. Yeah.
Slipping fucking falling. Meanwhile, Rebecca's like laughing at me and shit. I'm like, this was your dumb idea. I'm like, go fucking hiking.
And then like from there, man, it was just all downhill. 2020. It just did out for me. No, I mean, not downhill for me, but just 2020 has a year.
I think literally after that, you know, like rest in peace, rest, rest the soul. Like Kobe died. Yeah. Like that's what it really just started to kick in.
Kobe just starting to become like even huger. Yeah. Like I remember being at work thinking like hearing all these Kobe cases on like, bro, y'all tripping this shit. I guess it's not gonna get to us.
Yeah. Like y'all tripping this is just gonna be another fucking flu that's gonna be done with. Yeah. Look, it's now seven to a whole fucking year later, basically.
Yeah. Just stuck at home with Kobe. That's crazy, man. Yeah.
And I think that hike ruined it all for me. Yeah. Maybe you don't know, man. Like, it's been a year.
Yeah. Like I remember it was just, it was just like whatever, you know, going through the days and then even then like caring about like the two cases that happened, like one in New York and one in like, here in California, you're like, nah, like they got like, they got a quarantine. It's like, you know, it's not gonna happen to us. But then yeah, like literally like what?
March they all send us home? Yeah, March. Yeah. Yeah.
That's what's so much March, which was crazy because like, like you said, you hear the cases in New York, one in California, which I think still happened to be in SoCal, like a Los Angeles area. Yeah. Nowhere in New York, so I'm like, we're fine. Yeah.
Yeah. Like there's no way. It's like, we're literally in the middle of fucking California, like, buckled up in nowhere or whatever. You know, like it's not gonna hit us.
And then we go home, they send us home like, why? We're fine. Yeah. And then just then home ever since.
I don't think even like our work has reported any cases, like in our area, at least. Yeah. I mean, but that's because they sent us home, like, right away. Yeah.
That was good. But everyone's like, oh, yeah, we'll be back in by June. Bro, right. I remember like, our manager saying like, yeah, we'll be back by June.
I'm like, cool. Yeah. June comes. We'll be back in like August, September, like, yeah, like cool.
And then that comes like, oh, we'll come back January of the new year. I'm like, that's not that bad. Yeah. And then now it's like, oh, August of next year.
Like, what the fuck? But I don't even remember what these buildings look like on the inside. Yeah. I know like I drive by sometimes when we go run errands out there for whatever reason.
And I'm just like, yeah, that's where I used to work. Yeah. And I miss it, man. I miss going into the office and stuff.
Yeah, same. Yeah. Other than if I can call it what else has happened this year. Oh, let's see.
How deep are we going to get? The whole fucking year, bro. The whole fucking, all right. Well, let's see, like, July or August, I basically broke up with my girlfriend at the time.
Dang. Oh, yeah, yeah. You had a girlfriend in front of me? Yeah.
I kept it on the deal. Okay. How long were you guys sailing for? If you don't want me asking.
Fuck fine. Okay. That's right. We're not together anymore.
No. No, but weird. I knew we were friends for a while. I know that much.
But that whole relationship was just bad news all around. That's something that shouldn't have happened. Really? Truly that it shouldn't have happened?
Yeah, it shouldn't have happened. No. You don't think you learned anything from it? No, that's why I learned from it.
It definitely shouldn't have happened. You learned that it should not have happened. Yeah, not enough. Because even though it was a bad breakup, like, aside from that, just where I was at and where she was at in her life, it definitely was just like, should not have happened.
Yeah. But, you know, let's see. I don't remember, like, because earlier in the year, it was fine. Like, there's not a lot really going on.
Yeah, honestly, 2020 is such a blur to me. Yeah. I keep forgetting that it's still 2020. Like, I know the whole quarantine shift started, like, back in March, or at least being sent home.
And it feels like that was March of 2019. Yeah. But no, it was literally just this year. Yeah.
And it's like, oh, fuck. The stay at home thing has been like, hard. Yeah. Like, even me for an introvert, like, I love being home.
I'm a total homebody for sure. 100%. But even this is, I was like, damn, like, I'm starting to feel itched to like, just go out and like, just do something. Yeah.
Because I mean, at least before, you had eight hours out of the day where you were not at home. Yeah. It just worked. Yeah.
And then the rest of the eight hours, the rest of the 24 hour day, you'd rather be at home. Yeah. Now it's like full on 24 seven. Yeah.
At home. Yeah. Maybe like, before I could go out to bars, not to say that, I would go out every half, like, hell, often, but like, just mix it up. I could, you know, go to like, Chuck's place or whatever.
But I can't do that anymore. Well, I still think Chuck's is open. Are they? Yeah.
I was checking Google and they're like, they said like, dying didn't take out on curbside. Yeah. I was like, ah, that's a little sketchy. I don't think I want to.
Yeah. But then man, but fuck, the later half of 2020. So not to get too heavy, not to be alarm, alarm, but like, my portion of work was laid off. Like my team was laid off.
Oh, yeah. So that sucks. Yeah. Yeah.
Damn, you just let it straight in. Yeah. No, 2020 has been a bummer. Yeah.
Yeah. I want, and I thought shit would hit the fan in November when, you know, the election. Yeah. And that dude was just like refusing.
I think he's still refusing that he lost. But like, I thought that would just, I thought shit would hit the fan in November. Well, yeah. 2020 has been a roller coaster, do you?
Honestly. It really has from political to just, you know, everybody's social lives and stuff like that. It's, it's hard. He lost a lot of good people.
You know, like I said, in the beginning, Kobe Reston piece, Shabak Bozeman. Reston piece. Oh, yeah. He passed away.
Dude, you did the Marvel movies with the, whatever disease he had. No, it's okay. Do we, um, me and Mike, honestly, actually just watched the Netflix film, Mona Raimi's Black Bottom. I don't know if you, it's this short film or not short film.
It's a film on Netflix regarding Mona Raimi's life or, not her life, but basically one moment in her life where she was recording her song Black Bottom and Chabak Bozeman's in that film. It was like his last film before, you know, he passed and like watching that. It was, it's a good film. It's, you know, it's pretty short, but it's still good for what it was.
And his performance in there was amazing. And like looking at him in there, like knowing what he had and stuff, like because he was like super skinny in that film. So like, just knowing what he had, it's like damn, and he still pushed through and like delivered such a good performance. I suggest watching it.
It's pretty good. Pretty sure. I liked it a lot. But yeah, we lost him.
You know, it's crazy. Yeah. Netflix. Yeah.
No, I'm watching Jane and the Virgin. That's all I can add to that. Okay. But yeah.
Yeah. So you picked up, so I guess for 2020, you picked up any new shows, new movies or anything that you watched? Jane and Virgin, I'm watching Mandalorian season two. It's been pretty good.
Yeah. Did you finish it? No, I'm on the last episode. Oh, bro.
I watched it. Yeah. Um, put me in. What's his name?
But not Matt. The actor who's playing Mandalorian. Yeah. He's, um, he's carrying an entirely Star Wars universe on his shoulders.
Yeah. But yeah, I know. I slings watch that. Um, watching Jane and Virgin.
Yeah. I mean, I was, I started like, kind of like journaling, semi-regularly now again to you. That's cool. Yeah.
You know. Let's see. What else? Oh, I, thanks for asking Chris.
I watched some of you shows for 2020. You're always watching new shows though. I know. That's all I do.
I know. I know. I know. I know.
I know. I saw Christopher Nolan's movie, Tenet. Yo, yeah. Like thank God.
My bar's on yours. Why? So I can buy. Oh, I bought it.
Oh, you bought it. Yeah. Cause it's fucking good. Yeah.
I like, so cats out in the back, but I watched the in theaters during COVID. Yeah, I know. Oh my God. Kyle, why?
It's because it wasn't that bad. Like, how was it watching the theater? It was a lot better experience, obviously. And like with the whole COVID restrictions and stuff, or you know, restrictions with the whole COVID codes, it was cool because there was no one around us.
We basically had our own row. Yeah. We moved here, you know. So it was like a better viewing experience overall.
And I mean, you know, people wore their masks. We kept our social distance and stuff like that. But oh man, watching that movie at theaters. Oh, yeah.
That should be my vibe. That's one of the few things I'm looking forward to when COVID's over going back to some of the theaters. Yeah, going back to the middle. Anything's ever going to be normal after this?
Probably not, no. Yeah. That's crazy to think about. Well, see, I'm thankful though, because like, whenever I do grocery shopping, I'm glad that people have to stand six feet away from me.
Yeah. I know. And it's so crazy to think about too, because I remember thinking like when, like, whole before COVID, standing in the line, yeah, I know people would be all like all of your shit. And you just stand there and be like, what the fuck bro?
Like, you couldn't really say anything. But it's like, now you can't. It's like, uh, start COVID. It's like, oh shit, my bad, my bad.
Yeah. You know, and like, you don't get called out for being rude. It's like, I'm just trying to keep myself safe. Yeah.
Also, it's like a really good, like, you seize for anything. Like, if you get invited out and you don't want to go, you're just like, I'm, you know, worried about COVID. Yeah, that's true. You know, like, so there's some, there's some good things in 2020.
And I think like, work-wise, not just us, but like, overall, I think what, a lot, like a lot more companies are doing the whole work for my own thing. Mm-hmm. And so, I mean, I think some people like that, some I'm sure some people go, but. Yeah, we shouldn't invest in a Zoom bro, before this shit.
Dude, Zoom, yeah, Zoom pop off. Yeah. We shouldn't invest in any virtual, like, video conference segment. But those of you that did, yeah.
And if you knew that this was coming, sus. Sus. Oh, yeah, I've been playing among us a few times with friends. What's that?
Among us? Actually, you know what the game I've been playing along with? I know you showed me. I'm not a viewer, so I'd say.
Everyone knows what Among Us is. I don't know about that. It's a fun game you should play with your friends. Although, don't play with friends who take seriously, because then you might ruin some friendships with that.
But, yeah. I still have yet to play that game, like, with other people. I've been wanting to play that game with, like, people from work or anybody else really. Yeah.
We just never got around to it. It's super easy to set up. No, I know, but we just never got around to it. Yeah.
What else happened this year? Anything good for you, at least. Oh, yeah, I'm single. Yeah.
It's good for that. No, honestly, I'm strangely not, like, I'm a bit more confident with myself. Good. Like, I like, I really feel it, you know?
Yeah. And, like, I don't feel any, I don't feel any, I really kind of like, just to find myself so much. Did you have any goals? Like, when 2020 was coming out?
Like, did you make any new resolutions? I mean, I'm sure I did, but honestly, who fucking keeps No, I do know that I wanted to travel more. Which sucks. Yeah.
Well, I did take a trip, but it was in summer, it was when COVID was supposedly gone, or like dying down, and I was safe and still quarantined. Both there where I went, and when I turned back to California. Yeah, actually, I took a trip as well. Yeah.
You took a more dangerous trip, technically. What did you talk about? I mean, you went farther than I did. Right.
But we went to a country that was, like, literally zero-case COVID. True. Okay. So, you know, just in terms of risk.
Yeah, yeah. Can you not let my dog get exposed? Yeah. Hey Luigi.
2020 was a big year for Luigi. He got a, he got a sibling. Oh, yeah, he got a new dog. Yeah.
Zoey. A little husky. No, you little little at all. No, she's huge.
Yeah. She's a little brat though. Is she? No, not since she got spade.
Sorry, Zoey. She's calmed down just a bit. Yeah, no, that usually happens. I remember when I had Nu Nu, like, before I got him neutered.
Yeah. He was like, just full of like, just energy and just like uppity. Yeah. But like, I remember the right home after that.
He gets even the defeat in his eyes. I know, same as I remember. I picked her up from the vet and like, we were driving home. And she likes to stand like on the little middle console and like look out the window with me.
Yeah. This girl, Kichinachi stands up and literally like, her face looked so like high as she showed like, lean on me. It was like dead. Oh my god, this poor girl.
Yeah. Yeah. So that happened. So yeah.
Kind of going back a little bit. Yeah, we traveled as well. Where did you go? Oh, it's Georgia.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Was this when you were in a relationship? Yeah.
Yeah. Come here. Come here. Go ahead.
Bro, go ahead. Come on. People to give you a tip tapping all over the place. Bed.
I swear you listen, but anyways. Yeah. Surprisingly amount of good boba places in Georgia though. Oh really?
Yeah. Really? Yeah. But in Georgia?
Yeah. I didn't think so. Interesting. But it was really good.
Also like, me and I thought I had I've had good barbecue. Like, I mean, I'm sure obviously other places have great barbecue. Yeah. But having barbecue in Georgia was like the like, it was like, this is a whole new level of barbecue.
Like, I mean, it put me out. Like that food combo was just like, it was nice. It was really good. Yeah.
So I mean, I'd like to go back. But it is hot though. It's hot as shit dude. Oh, bro.
It's hot as shit in Georgia. Oh, like you went during summer too. Yeah. Yeah.
I was like, well, is there is there summer? Our summer here? Or no? I mean, I'm assuming so.
It was hot. I don't know. It was hot when I went out. But like, yeah, even like me being used to like, hot weather because I lived in like, Philippines and Vegas.
Even here, couple of years, again, fucking toasty. Like, over there, I was like, all right. This is this is a little toasty. It's human to you, man.
Yeah. Super human. But yeah, I wanted to do a lot more traveling this year. But I don't know.
Like. Any other goals besides that? Sure. I think I thought it was in the 2019 episode when we did this.
But I think I wanted to talk about like hiking more. Yeah. Didn't do that. I think you wanted to write more too, no?
Yeah. And I don't think I've written more this year. I've written a few stuff this year. Was it this year?
I don't remember. I can't remember. But I mean, I started journaling. So I think that covers that.
That's fair. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, no, man.
I mean, I don't know. Like, I think this year was like, you know, I kind of realized I'm not as insane as like other people are. And like that kind of that's kind of comforting. No, you're not the most like craziest person out there.
That's true. Yeah. So yeah. Good for you, man.
Yeah. You know, I mean, you've talked about getting a girlfriend and you have a fiance. Yeah. I think 2019's goal was to get a girlfriend, which I did accomplish.
And then for 2020, I mean, it wasn't on my, you know, resolutions to get married. But yeah, now I'm engaged to send girlfriend within the year, which is crazy. You think about, but then not, you know, when you find a person, dude. Yeah, when you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, some shout out to you boo.
Oh, she's literally in the room too. What else happened? We traveled as well. Like I said, we went to Cancun.
Oh, yeah. In August, that was amazing. That's actually when I proposed. Yeah.
That was, that was for our one year. That was great. A lot of fun. I want to go back to the show.
We're human over there too. You don't have our coworkers in trouble when you went to Cancun. And what? Because you posted your like, how's it going?
Instagram. And I remember they were talking about it like. Yeah, that's because a lot of them have significant others and they've been in a relationship longer than I have. Yeah.
So I just thought it was funny. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, to each their own. Exactly.
Yeah. Thank you. I didn't want to talk to you. But what else happened?
Got a new dog. Yeah. Yeah. Any goals for 2021?
Oh, we're going right into that. Yeah. And, um, the lifetime. Full speed in 2021.
Let's see. You have us. But find a girlfriend. No.
No, I don't want to be a like, I really just. Kind of like going through like this whole year was mainly like, the world's my oyster, you know? Like I just, I don't want to hesitate anymore, you know? Like if I want to do something, I'm just going to go do it.
There you go. You know? So 2020 is taught you to just just go. Just go.
Just go. Yeah. Just go. I mean, obviously like, oh, safety.
Yeah. And social distancing. You know what? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Like 2021 man. Like, you know, hopefully these vaccines help and would not.
But yeah, just just to do it. Just go for it. You know? That's good.
Yeah. Definitely. I think for 2021, I want to use my time more wisely, which I think I will be able to do because in 2020, something did happen, which is, I'm not going to announce on here. You guys will find out in 2021.
Yeah. But I think with that thing happening, I'm definitely going to be able to utilize my time more wisely. And that's what I really want to do. And like, what I mean by that is just use it more wisely in terms of pushing my career forward, which I think I will be able to do.
I want to fill more stuff, which like I said, I think I will be able to do more. Yeah. I actually have plans to start a YouTube channel. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. You can do a YouTube channel? That's interesting. Yeah.
Hopefully launch it in 2021 and keep it going for a full year. We'll see. Keep the guys updated on that. And what else?
Have a kid. Ah, just kidding. No. No.
Leave more happy. I mean, I'm happy, you know, but continue the happiness. Yeah, for sure. That's good.
Yeah. All safely, you know. COVID still around. But yeah.
Yeah. Cool. What else? What else can we say about 2020?
I mean, it wasn't your shit, but also a lot of things did happen. Yeah. A lot of bad and good things. That is an episode going to be short.
I think so. Maybe. What mean? You know, what?
We've got like other plans coming up. Like a. Yeah, we do. Well, I mean, so I think for you, you should make one of the other goals in 2021 to actually write more.
Yeah. You know, like you said, because we have things set up that I want to start doing as well. Yeah. That's true.
So. You guys will hear about that in another episode, which we've actually already recorded. So while you're listening to this one, we're on the lookout for the next episode. Yeah.
Oh, that's okay. For us. We're talking nonsense. Any goals for 2021?
You know, I think it'd be cool to do like a video one. Because now we said that last year, I think. Yeah. But so like a video one would be cool.
Definitely would try to like, I don't know, I kind of want to try promoting our podcast more often. Yeah. But you can't really like, or you can't do that because you're never on social media. Yeah, but you do.
You're going to do it through Discord. If you guys want to add me to Discord. What's your Discord? You're going to add me at a holiday pound sign or if you're going hashtag.
I think hashtag or pound sign in 1993. Yeah. Feel free to add me on Discord. Play some games.
What's Discord? It's a social media platform. Oh, okay. Yeah.
For gamers. No. Yeah, it's just take Slack and Zoom, merge it together and just say it's for video games. It's basically what it is.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
If you want to add me on there or, yeah, like definitely want to try to promote our podcast more. I think the reason why I don't do it is because it feels, I still want it to be my whole identifier, you know. Like I think it's cool that we're doing it and I think it's pretty unique. But it's like, I don't want it to be one of the things where it's like, oh, like all you ever talks about is this podcast, you know.
Right, right. Now I get that. But that's also why I created the instagram. That's true.
Yeah. But I don't use the instagram. Yeah, you don't. And you don't either.
Okay, I guess my goal for us is to use it more and promote as well. Yeah. More episodes, which I think that was one of our goals for 2019. And we sort of accomplished it.
Yeah. We were going for a while. Yeah. I mean, yeah, we took a De-Pietis, but I was like, it's because of COVID though.
Yeah, it was COVID. Yeah. And honestly, like that whole COVID thing just made, like I felt tired just because like everything felt like a mountain climb. Like just going out was just like, like it just felt like such an like, arduous task to.
Did you pick up like any like, I know a lot of people like were quarantine at least. I picked up a lot of like other skills. I know some people learned carpentry. Others took up cooking.
Yeah. Start playing the piano. Okay. Yeah.
How's that? It's been fun. I took a break. Like you do with everything.
Yeah. I think another goal for you is to not take breaks. Yeah. But then it's just like, I don't know.
It felt like a whole piano thing. Like, yeah, I don't know how there's no excuse for that. Yeah, I just I think I just took a break because I got lazy. But yeah, I did start trying to learn the piano.
Okay. So I mean, that's cool. And then, yeah. That's it.
No other thing you picked up? No. Um. That's one and I can say I didn't do anything.
That's why I want to utilize my time more for 2021. Which is like crazy to say because you would think with this quarantine, I would have more time, which I do. But at the same time, because of the quarantine and how heavy it is mentally, like on everybody and just physically, I just don't have the motivation. Yeah.
There's a fatigue. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
For sure. But I do think to you, like going into next year, when things start opening up again, there's certain things I wouldn't want to do. Like, I wouldn't want to go to the gym because I'm pretty sure everyone's been dying to go to the gym. Oh.
