The Daily Friday: Wednesday 4/24

PS - reminder that Mother’s Day is coming up FAST (it’s next Sunday) so lock in that gift now. If you need a quick and easy present, just get her a subscription to the Daily Friday Podcast. It’s fun, informative and better yet, completely free. Everyone wins.

This entry is a small taste of the content from our absolute boys over at Could Be The Movesletter. Give them a sub for gold in your inbox every Friday.

At first glance, I completely agree with this guy. Getting checked after dropping, "The Usual" sounds devastating. I mean a real week-to-month ruiner, but then again... what if this is his Move? Everywhere he goes, "I'll take the usual." First time at a place, "Hey! (checks nametag) Diane, I'll take the usual." Sure, you're getting a response like that 97% of the time, but what about that 3%? Server jots something down. They start whipping up whatever. Friends, family, acquaintances all in disbelief. "You come here a lot?" "Nope. First time." How did they know his order? The usual? Wait, what?

Is this Move worth the 97% rejection rate? The wave of secondhand embarrassment felt by everyone in a 10-foot radius? For me, probably not. But that 3% sounds like a fucking rush man.

Side note: I think we need to make, "Server’s Choice" a thing. Instead of grinding on the menu, just tell em', "Your call!" The anticipation of seeing what they bring out… might have to give that one a rip this weekend.

You know what? Let’s make this a double move entry.

"Grabbing Some Air at the Bar." No cig, no vape, just rolling outside and suckin' in some good ole-fashioned O2. Great Move.

Type of Move that finds you around the age of 32-36. Not saying a young buck can't appreciate a Move like this, but, when you're early 30s and squished in some lame bar you didn't even want to go to, the idea of standing outside and breathing in fresh air starts looking at you like (insert any meme of a hot girl staring at you). This one works.

Early me would head to the bar for a reset. Couple shots for the boys. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer in rally shots, but rally shots are 1000% not a grounded, meditative practice. It's faux confidence and moxie intended to bring out the real thing. Suckin' down a little O2 with the boys... now we're grounded, now we're back at square one. Quick timeout, reset, clear mind, full hearts, can't lose. Real confidence, real character, smiles are wider, laughs are deeper, girls are less terrifying. Grab Some Air. Could Be The Move.

My heart goes out to Ray J, who says that after having sex with over 12,500 women in his life, he really only has the stamina for another 1,000 more at his old age. What’s the point of even living if you’re not going to sleep with a new woman every 6-8 hours?

Shoutout to these 22 Buddhist monks that were caught smuggling nearly 250 POUNDS of weed, valued at $3.5M, at a Sri Lankan airport. Even monks need a side hustle. I’d personally love to buy weed from a monk (or have one as my Uber driver.)

Genuinely worried for Klay Thompson now that Meg the Stallion fans have sent a swarm of Etsy witches to curse him after he cheated on her. He never should have made her famous like that.

Proud of this woman who released a swarm of bees on deputies that were evicting her. You ALWAYS need a stockpile of stinging insects at the ready for situations like this. It’s better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them.

It’s Kentucky Derby weekend (grab a shirt while you still can) but all I can think about is what a goddam waste it is that we spend our time racing horses when we should be saddling up on a hippo.

Just think of the benefits.

1 - Hippos are lower to the ground than horses. Less of a dangerous fall for the rider. Christopher Reeves might still be Superman today.

2-Hippos can also swim, introducing a new element to the race. Hell, if we teach them to ride bicycles, we might be able to do a full Ironman hippo race.

3- Hippos are ferocious fighters. Horses can basically just kick and sometimes bite. Can’t really respect a species like that. Sorry.

4- I just think it would be cool and I’m the one writing the newsletter.

As always, all opinions are final and correct. Thank you.

Yeah. That Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So do Codie Sanchez, Scott Galloway, Colin & Samir, Shaan Puri, and Jay Shetty. And none of them are doing it for fun. They're doing it because a list you own compounds in ways that social media never will.
