Oh, yeah. So we've seen a lot of America. We are qualified. I've seen the gross stuff. Yeah, that weird part of America where you're like, ah, nobody would vacation here.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah, yeah. Here I am vacationing. For two days. For two days. I was king. Yeah, if you're putting me up and giving me free drinks for an hour and a half that night at the club, yeah, I can make this a fun city. It doesn't take much, I've found. It don't, no.
Starting point is 00:01:46 It really doesn't take much. I just have to, like, after second show, if I'm feeling good, it's going to be a good night. No matter where you are. Yeah, regardless. It's just going to be fun because I did comedy, I got paid, and then I'm like, oof, I'm 10 feet tall, man. Exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:02 You've already caught a little buzz, but you have that the show went well buzz too. Yeah. There's nothing better than that. It honestly feels like you glide out of the club. It's the one I feel as sexy as I feel in my head all the time. Absolutely. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Like, I feel like, man, untouchable, slicker than worm sperm. And you're good? Oh, man. Fucking fresher than wet paint, dude. Yeah. Walking around. What is this? Downtown Milwaukee? Yeah, dog. It is downtown Milwaukee. Yeah, it's downtown Davintown, man. Fucking fresher than wet paint, dude. Yeah. Just walking around. What is this, downtown Milwaukee?

Yeah riddle box Which one of the six Joker cards one has chicken hunting on it, that'd be tunnel of love That's I like that one. Yeah, or or or riddle box i they have goods there's some good they do have good songs like if you guys ever look up twisted with the z yeah they are good at rapping i remember good and sometimes they have cool beats when i was i was 17 years old i think and i paid 20 american
Starting point is 00:03:41 dollars to go see icp in sioux falls south dakota and twisted with a z and misery with a z opened up and i it's a good card dude it's a good card to this day i'm like it was a it was a hilarious awesome it was a spectacle i see icp is a little bit like a sizzler like you know it's good you've eaten there before but the clientele kind of scares you away it also excites you. It does excite you a little bit. Like, here I am in my actual element. I don't have to pretend anymore. Yeah, I thought I was something else.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I thought I was somebody else. Just doing the Wayne's World. Like, is this cool? Everyone's like, yeah, Doug, it's cool. I've been to like. You're at the show. I've been to probably legitimately in my life like 10 Juggalo shows and had a great time at nine of them. And that's a better ratio than
Starting point is 00:04:26 almost any other group of people. I saw Tech N9ne and that was one of the dopest shows I've ever seen. Tech N9ne and I didn't like it. It was Head P.E. and the Cottonmouth Kings, which I'm not thrilled about, but Tech N9ne, dope. And that's a Juggalo show, right? Yeah, Tech N9ne is like, he's not even honorary at this point.
Starting point is 00:04:42 It's just like... You're from the Midwest. What is it about the Midwest that make ICP andp and like tech nine i do not know i mean tech nine's from kansas city yeah that's yeah but that's like it's like the rap galapagos islands where these people they have no access to like the rest of the world so they evolve in these really weird ways because they want it like they want to get super buck and dance around and like and have a mosh pit you can't really have a mosh pit at any 40 cons you could but it gives you a whole different vibe it gives you like the excuse it's like listening to limp biscuit but you can also say it's rap be like no i went to a hip-hop show and everyone's like okay yeah yeah so you you get like the best of both of those worlds and
Starting point is 00:05:19 then you know and then you and then you move and you're like okay and you're like there's oh there's other i see that was a part of my life. Yeah. But we're not even hating on it. We're celebrating. No, it's dope. We love it. Yeah, no, I don't doubt it. I crown it for sure, man.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I mean, that's a whole other rap group that you're ashamed of but actually listen to. That's the thing. I'm not ashamed of any of them now. You actually aren't ashamed of any. You would go, how much would you pay to go see an ICP concert? If it was within my, like, if it was within my means, I'd pay like $40, $50. $40, $50? It was a great – okay.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Anybody listening, go listen to The Great Malenko. It's hilarious. All of it's hilarious. They are ridiculous. And it's the thing. It's a spectacle. I'm not thrilled about the music. I've gotten in so many arguments with people where I'm like, would you see them for free and everyone's like no i wouldn't and i'm like
Starting point is 00:06:07 how do you not go i don't see anything for free i would anything and if you don't like it leave i'm not saying you gotta stick around it's like if there's a stadium across the street you got a free ticket you walk in vip you're up in the vip go see it for free for a sec dude i will say because you can get so like i've got never gotten more buck than fucking i went and saw what was this group i can't even remember they're from they're based out of aurora colorado what up what up yeah i got so drunk and this was like dancing my ass off and it was just like a pre-concert it was like like a pre-concert, but I kind of know one of the dudes, and it was like a crazy night. Some dude beat somebody up outside and then ran in the pit and changed clothes with somebody else.
Starting point is 00:06:53 What? So he didn't get caught. This other dude fought my friend and then tried to go kill this dude in a box truck. He had a box truck, and he was like, you're going to ride? And I was like, yo, Juggalos are lit. What? Yeah, it was crazy. You guys did it different ride? And I was like, yo, Juggalos are lit. What? Yeah, it was crazy. You guys did it different in Aurora.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah, Aurora, Colorado, man. That's fucking nuts. That stuff never happened in Beaverton, Oregon. Didn't happen in Seafall, South Dakota. Trying to kill somebody in a box truck. Yeah, and he was like, you're riding to all these people. And I was like, because there's this thing when you look. I guess you can fit a lot of people in the back of a box truck.
Starting point is 00:07:24 It was like this dude and this other dude named Dana. And it was crazy. But the thing is, like, when somebody asks me a question I've heard in a rap song, it's really hard for me to turn it down. Yeah. Like, when he was like, you riding? It was hard to be, not like, cock a gun or something. I just had to be like, bro, I got to work, man. I would do it just so I could pull over and be like, hey, doe, let me out the car, man. Just so I could say that, I would say, yes, I'm got to work. I can't. Yeah, yeah. I'd love to ride. I'd pull over and be like, hey, Doe, let me out the car, man.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Just so I can say that, I would say, yes, I'm going to ride. You'd get in just for that moment, huh? Just for the exit. I already should have. I'm going to go home to my dad, Lawrence Fishburne. Furious? Yeah, Furious Styles. Furious Styles is waiting at home for me. What a great name.
Starting point is 00:08:01 That's the best. Furious is a great fucking name. Yeah, it's pretty cool. This has nothing to do with the best places to chill for a weekend, but Ian and I were talking about this last night. How much do you think it would have taken, how much money would someone have to give your mother to let them name you instead of her? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 So if you come out and someone's like, here's 50 grand, I'm going to name him Furious Gabori. I think my mom would have done it because she just gave me my grandpa's name. It isn't even like, she didn't like dig deep in the rocks. It's not like particularly meaningful. Yeah, yeah. She just gave me her dad's name. So like, I think she would have done it on the, I think, I think you could have named me Cash in Hand in the hospital.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yeah. Like you just walked up. Cash in Hand. I think you could have done it. Attaché case, then she keeps the attaché case. Yeah. Like what's in it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I think, I think she would have done it for two wrecks. I think you could have named me for two thousand dollars see that and that is we were pretty broke when i was born and i was wondering what kelly jordan would have let it ride for like we're gonna name him like playstation jordan you know like i think as long as it's not like an insane name if like there's a stipulation where it's like i'm not gonna name your kid like like fuck burrow yeah you know what I mean? Or like Shit Stephanie. It's just the word shit and then Stephanie with no breaks. It's not going to be anything like that.
Starting point is 00:09:13 But it's going to be a name that someone has had before. Mortimer. Pick it. Ebenezer. Ichabod. Yeah, exactly. You can hide your name so well. So easy.
Starting point is 00:09:22 David is my middle name. My first name is Sar. Yeah. I just don't go by it because i never have dude you could go by s david bori i love that oh s and then you could be our friend adam posse calls me s that and so well i mean it's gotta be you now see i love that i love the first initial middle name move yeah Yeah. It's fantastic. The first initial whole middle name. Whole middle name. Last name.
Starting point is 00:09:46 That is classy. I, George Carmel doesn't work. I, George Carmel. Yeah, I is the problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But dude, if it was like G-E and Carmel, oh. G-E and Carmel would be great. Yeah, but it sounds a little too much like G-Easy, and I don't know if I want to get
Starting point is 00:10:00 on that wave yet. We're not sure if it's going to crash. We're not. All right, S. Patrick Jordan? Yeah,rick jordan yes i would buy that book yeah oh my god howell's used like a book of poetry by s patrick jordan yeah his tales of south dakota yeah yeah during during the turn of the century my name is uh corn palace. Drinker of beers. Breaker of hearts. Ruiner of relationships. Owner of drastic haircuts. Owner of a lonely heart.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Owner of a lonely heart. We nicknamed a kid in high school owner of a lonely heart. Man, you should have called him Boner of a lonely heart. It was right there. Boner of a lonely heart. We should do this podcast. Yeah, we should do this podcast. So the way to determine the order, the way we always do, is the two of you will play a game of rock, paper, scissors.
Starting point is 00:10:51 One out of one, the winner determines the order. And again, this is a serpentine draft. And for those of you who don't know, serpentine means if you pick first, then you pick last in the second round, first the third round last in the fourth and so on so it's like reverses the order every round one two three shoot yeah yeah rock paper scissors shoot oh paper paper oh shit i fucked up the flow i fucked up the flow that's my bad this one people rock paper scissors shoot fuck you dude dav. You got to come back with the rock. The genius island wins rock against scissors. It's a serpentine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:27 You know what? I am super comfortable with my picks, and I don't think anybody's going to take them. Yeah. So I'll actually go last this round. Ooh. I'll go last. Yeah. I'll put Jordan Estop first.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Rich Homie Karm second. Right in the middle. Right in the middle. Right in the middle. Thank you for giving my Christian name. No problem. So I'm like him. Sue, the first pick, I just, I'm thrilled to get it started. Obviously, it's going to be Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Oh, my God. The absolute. No one else was going to take it. Yeah. I just, I was so excited to say it. With that much confidence, I wanted it to be first. I didn't even need to wait to have it be last. That's how much faith I have in my city.
Starting point is 00:12:11 In the entirety of the United States, Purple Mountain's Majesty, Amber Ways of Grain, Sea to Shining Sea, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I could walk you. See, it's a sleeper. I'll walk you through a day in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Well, it's not a sleeper because it went first. In the vacation's a it's a sleeper i'll walk you i'll walk you through a day because it went first it's in the in the vacation sense it's a sleeper like people don't want to go there so you uh you go to sioux falls you you fly into the joe foss regional airport now who's joe fuss yeah you know i don't know okay okay he's the dude the airport's named after yeah you fly in you you could go get uh the regional dish it's named after. Yeah. You fly in. You could go get the regional dish. It's called chislik. If you wanted to go get lunch, you go get some chislik. It's not. It's deep fried steak bits with garlic salt on it, and you dip it in barbecue sauce, have
Starting point is 00:12:55 some toast with it. It's the best. It's the best. Why does it sound like Snoop Dogg named it? Get this. We used to call it chislik. Huh? Huh? Chislik? Huh? What do you do? What do you do? Make your own humor in Snoop Dogg. Get this. We used to call it jizz lick. Huh?
Starting point is 00:13:06 Huh? Huh? Jizz lick? What do you do? What do you do? Make your own humor in Sioux Falls. You and Boner of a Lonely Heart sit down for some jizz lick. You have some jizz lick. You go to the skate park.
Starting point is 00:13:17 You feel so inclined. You can hit the bike trails. There's a 20-mile bike trail that goes perfectly around the city. Yeah. And the only bad part of it is where you can see the state penitentiary. Right. That is oddly located in the city of Sioux Falls, which has been in it. They didn't even give a damn.
Starting point is 00:13:30 In the city. But other than that, the whole bike trail is fantastic. And it goes right through the falls, which they're named after, the Sioux Falls. And it's very pretty. It's an extremely... In like 94, Sioux Falls was voted the number one city in America to, like, raise a family. It's fantastic. And the nightlife...
Starting point is 00:13:47 We're not saying raise a family. This is a weekend. This is an adult weekend. Wild for the night. Fuck being polite. You go to Tommy Jack's. Give us a Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The thing is, there were so many house parties.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And I'm a big house party person. Okay, I love house parties. There's house parties for days. A city where you have to make your own fun, to me, is a really good time. Yeah. Because there's not – downtown is sort of popping, but you would go to house parties, and there'd be beer bongs and slip and slides and just fun stuff going on all the time. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:14:20 And that's a good selling point. Mix it up with the locals. Everybody was always down to be like, yeah, let's go play lawn darts or let's go play bags in the front yard or something or let's just walk around with 40s around the block and see what's going on. I like that. Yeah, it's a fantastic place.
Starting point is 00:14:34 The house party scene was the best. That's my selling point. That's a great selling point. I'm going to jump in with who Joe Foss was just so we can all know together. He was a United States Marine Corps Major and the leading Marine fighter ace in World War II. There you go. So, dude,
Starting point is 00:14:49 he was just like up there in the plane, just shooting down Nazis. He's like the Red Baron. Yeah. Was the Red Baron a Nazi? No, he was, that was World War I, so he's alright. He's alright. I think. Don't hold me to that. I only know him for his pizza recipe. Oh, no, he was in the Pacific Theater, so he was not gunning down Nazis.
Starting point is 00:15:06 But I feel like he would have, you know, given the opportunity. And he's from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Born in 1915. Probably had a grip at house parties, maybe at the Pettigrew Museum. Yeah, but he died in Scottsdale, Arizona, which I assume you'll be taking second. If any of you live in Scottsdale, I apologize for the hearty laugh, the hearty gut laugh that we all just had.
Starting point is 00:15:30 So what was some of the gnarlier house parties you went to? We, I feel like these aren't selling points, but they were very memorable. We went to this party at Funky Town. This dude, Matt Funky, used to have house parties all the time. Yeah. And it got shot up one time at a house but yeah it got shot up things got a little too buck in in the in the room and these dudes are like we're coming back we're gonna shoot the party up and they did and they did and nobody nobody believed them i know it rarely happens nobody it never happens nobody believed them and i was like i was like i'm
Starting point is 00:16:04 dipping i'm going to leave and everyone's like what dog and i'm like i mean i don't you know It never happens. Nobody believed him. And I was like, I'm dipping. I'm going to leave. And everyone's like, what the? And I'm like, I mean, I don't, you know, I'm going to leave. And then they fucking shot it up. Did you feel like they were going to come and shoot it? I knew they were going to. Did you know them?
Starting point is 00:16:15 Loosely. Loosely. You just knew that they rolled that hard. Yeah. It was bananas. We had, there was one party where Rat, my friend Rat, was moving out of his house and they were going to tear it down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 So we had a hole in the wall punching party. Like punch holes in the wall party. That would be the best part. It was. And so years later. It's like that scene in Pinocchio where they just devastate that, right? Isn't that in Pinocchio where they? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:40 They fuck the house up. They just fuck that house up. Yeah. The Island of Bad Boys. Yeah, yeah. Years later. That's the two falls is the bad boys. Yeah, yeah. Years later. That's the two falls is the island of bad boys, dude. Damn right.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Yeah, that's the tattoo I have on my lower back. Years later, we were hanging out with Rat in a house that I used to live in that was not getting torn down. And he had a punch a hole in the wall party anyways in the basement. In a house that was not getting torn down and then my roommate not give a fuck my old roommate came home and he's like one of the whole walls in the basement was just fucked it was gone and rad's like yeah you know we're just that wasn't a punch a hole in the wall party that was a that was a give a a drywall contractor yeah fifteen hundred dollars party just racked in drywall is that the kicker
Starting point is 00:17:25 dude it was yeah it was bananas what about the halloween party the rap karaoke halloween party stuff oh dude yeah every every friday the 13th we have like a machete party or yeah so like yeah they and they used to now we do it at the they do it at the skate park but we used to do it at uh joey and adam's my friend joey and adams house you know adam yeah and so every friday the 13th they have a machete party where they build an obstacle course inside and outside of the house and then the winner gets a machete wrapped in barbed wire basically and it's it's that's that machete shit yeah absolute it's the absolute dopest it's so fun because it's a whole day of just like you show up you help build the course and then you get like 20 30 people there and then joey or dj would just give you like a run through and you're
Starting point is 00:18:10 like okay like one of one time one of it you had to like do a figure eight through all these like standing up jason masks and then sit back to back with somebody and then shotgun a beer and you could do the race as many times as you i mean that was just a small part you could do the race as many times as you wanted so every time you did it you had to shotgun a beer oh my so by the end of the night there's people like trying to jump hurdles that had shotgun like nine beers in the last half hour you were the the adult legends of the hidden temple nature that's exactly exactly the last machete party they had they built, you know how you had to put the trophy together? Yeah. They built one DJ, I don't know how he did it, but it was like a foam temple with a Jason head.
Starting point is 00:18:52 It was a machete that you plugged into the top to seal it. And there were four different quadrants that you had to go to. They're so tight. And that's what I'm saying. I've never been to a city where people, and maybe they do, but i've never been to a city where it's like that is what all of our friends are doing that night because that's not what we've got nothing else going on yeah you know it's like there's nothing else to do so you just go to the machete party yeah necessity is the mother of invention and you necessity shit to do because you lived in sioux falls yeah dude
Starting point is 00:19:23 yeah uh and what about the rap karaoke on Halloween? Is that on Halloween? What is that? Dude, yeah. Hip-hop karaoke with Soul Crate Music. The Soul Crate Boys. Soul Crate. I feel like I've heard of multiple DJ collectives being called that. These are the best ones. I think they're so great.
Starting point is 00:19:40 They're a hip-hop group, right? Yeah, they used to be called the Urban Ills. And they hated it so urban ills urban ills and and uh still still calling them ills and like now that they're all grown up they'll be like come on man it's hilarious i'm kidding that's really funny though they have they were the first the first time i ever saw hip-hop karaoke or heard of it was we would so every halloween they've been doing it for like six years they'll do hip-hop karaoke and it is for the three of us who all want to be rappers desperately it i got to rap me and my friend did uh emin dre guilty conscience and we for like a week beforehand he made a he made a cd with just the beat yeah so we would both drive around in
Starting point is 00:20:21 our cars just trying to get the beats right, rapping. Who was who? I was... I think I was Eminem because he swore more. This is my friend John, who doesn't swear or drink or anything. Oh, yeah. Oh, he was him? He was Rude Boy. Because Dr. Dre's the voice of reason. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:39 So I was Em because he was the worst one. Yeah, okay. Fuck that. Do that shit. Hit that lick. Yeah. It was the worst one. Yeah, okay. Fuck that. Do that shit. Hit that lick. Yeah. It was sick, dude. It was so goddamn fun.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And we went first, knocked it out of the park. And then my friend Todd the Coward tried to do Can't See Me without, you know. Without George Clinton? Without saying the end of it, basically. Oh, no. That without saying the end. Oh, no, that would be almost impossible. But he,
Starting point is 00:21:08 he was succeeding, but he was like screaming the whole time. Halfway through the song, you ran out of breath and you're looking at him. You're like, Tupac was in shape. Yeah. Technical song. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Especially without the, how does he do the real blank fingers on nickel plate? I'm saying it was crazy. I was like, why did you even think you could do that? That's a hard Tupac song. It's a great song. It's hard to do if you were Tupac. I wanted to do it, but also respect the song.
Starting point is 00:21:35 You think it's like the deep cut, and everybody's going to be like, whoa. I get where you're coming from. Yes, because it's not the first Tupac song you think of, but it might be the one you're most stoked about hearing when it comes out. Yeah. Because you would never think of it. Yeah, yeah. There was a blind stares of a million pairs of eyes
Starting point is 00:21:51 looking hard but can't realize. That my friends Adam and Frat. Frat would not spark the bowl until that song was on, so they would cruise around in my friend Adam's whip all the time and smoke weed. Frat wouldn't spark the bowl until Can't was on so they would cruise around my friend adam's whip all the time and smoke weed frat wouldn't spark the bowl until can't see me came on i didn't know people had so much love for that song like i like it but i didn't know it was like i get it though yeah i get it too i get it too it's amazing i didn't at first get sue falls as a pick but now i feel like i understand it a little bit i mean I mean, of course I was going to pick that, and obviously it wasn't going to go, but it just had to be my top off.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Well, I have a second pick of the first round of the fun cities to spend a weekend in, all fantasy, everything. And as much as it breaks my heart to do so, I can't take the Rose City. I can't. I can't go PDX, even though I love't go PDX even though I love it so much.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Portland, your native son, lets you down. I got to go with New Orleans, Louisiana. Shit, I get it. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. I get it. There's not a more fun scene.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Just three days. Four might kill you. Five probably definitely will. That third day when you're like, oh. You're just pushing it through. It's hard. It's all hard. It's all hard on that third day. Yeah. For sure. You're just pushing it through. It's hard. It's all hard. It's all hard on that third day.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Yeah, for sure. You don't have any clean undershirts left somehow, even though you packed plenty? I don't care. All your sweat towels are dingy. Yeah, they are. That's when you need to get out. And you need a fucking sweat towel in New Orleans. Dude, grips.
Starting point is 00:23:18 You're always glistening. You're always glistening. But it's nice that everybody's glistening. This isn't the main selling point of New Orleans, by the way. Dude, it doesn't close it can you can go as hard as you want there uh the food is amazing yeah it's i don't understand how every like because you'll walk around and most people are fat but not everybody i don't understand how not everybody's fat there because like there's it's like beignets and muffalettas and like those sandwiches with like debris i forget the name of the restaurant lots of gravy lots of gravy for
Starting point is 00:23:51 such a hot place they're a very gravy and thick soup heavy yeah fried foods but it's you're already sweating yeah it's a big deal i mean i guess there's no difference you can only get so sweaty that's true my face is only gonna get so shiny. Put some catfish grease on it. It's crazy that gumbo is associated with New Orleans, though. It's so thick and hot. The city is gumbo.
Starting point is 00:24:16 So I guess it is the soup that feels like the city. But if you said, like, here's this bowl where do you think this is native to? This bowl of food? I'd be like, uh, Fairbanks, Alaska? Yeah. That's where you'd have to be to eat something that thick and hot. Somewhere where they eat borscht.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Right, exactly. And it's like, no, it's one of the warmest places in the United States, one of the thickest. But there's nothing like walking down through the French Quarter or anything like that. I don't even really fuck with Bourbon Street, although that can be a fun... It can be fun. You gotta be in the right mood. You have to be hammered and then go to Bourbon Street. You can't go there and get your first drink on Bourbon Street.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Let me get a whale bone. Yeah, you got to go up like getting hurricanes. Yeah. You got to be hammered working your way to Bourbon Street. And then once you're on Bourbon...
Starting point is 00:25:02 Because if you get there sober, it's just a street. It's super. If you get there super, super. That just caught me so, so. If you get there super. You're going to be super bummed. Because it smells like barf and piss. The street does.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It just doesn't drain properly and people piss and barf all over it. Yeah, it's like another country. Yeah, it really is just this one street. But if you're there, if you're like four drinks deep, and you get there, and you're like, oh, this is where I need to be. What's that street with all, it's not Bourbon Street, but it's near there. It's like walkable. Frenchmans? Exposition, where all the music is and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Yes, yeah. I was walking there one time, drunk as shit, and i just stumbled into like a jamaican block that's like just like a block it was the craziest they had grills in their trunks like meat and they were making meats dude and a bunch of mesh just for a block and i was like yo this is lit and then i just stumbled on out but it was like i was it was crazy i was just in new orleans i bought meat out of the back of a truck or trunk of a car not even a truck trunk meat is the best it was so good like a heating apparatus it was like it was like yeah it had he had like a grill set up in there that's yeah coleman in the trunk and he was selling like these like jerk

But New Orleans, when you're walking by by you're walking by bars and like there's music coming out of every single one of those bars you know like different songs it's just like a and it's a city that's in love with itself and i think the best cities are cities that are a little bit in love with themselves and what like makes them unique you know new orleans fucking loves new orleans yeah everyone who's the same yeah everyone who lives there it's their favorite city you know what i mean yeah there's nobody in new orleans who's like ah you know i'd love to

Dr. Sioux sue yeah uh for the nerds just for the nerds in the house dr sue dude uh yeah new orleans is it's it's amazing like on every level i feel like it's the perfect city to just spend a week because any more than that you're gonna kill yourself but like the food is so good there's this place called mr bees that has this barbecue shrimp that is one of the most decadent, delicious things I've ever had. And you can get that.
Starting point is 00:29:09 I love shrimp. Yeah. It's so good. It's like this soup. It's like with shrimp in it. And they give you this bread. And, like, it's literally, you'll lick the bowl. You could be at a table with your girlfriend's father who you're meeting for the first time.

I've gotten face deep in like some bisque absolutely yeah oh i love getting down in a bisque oh man yeah and they got fucking bisque there too they got the beignets you know at that uh i forget the name of that place which i have the mug from there uh as a selling point i forget yeah it's the famous place that does the chicory coffee. I like to go down there and just get a plate of grits and a mug full of gravy. Just start my morning.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Absolutely. Just start it off thick. Just slow that blood down. Yeah. Cafe du Monde. Cafe du Monde. You move slow in the South. Yeah. Take it easy.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Don't want to get too sweaty walking for the next bed. Yeah. Because we're 40% gravy. Our blood moves slower. next bed. Yeah. Because we're 40% gravy. Our blood moves slower, you understand. Yeah. Like the Mississippi River, lazy. Julie, you just winded. By this point, it is, too.
Starting point is 00:30:15 That river kind of sets the pace for it. It's just like big and slow. Towns definitely draw on, or places draw on what's by them. You know what I mean? And it's got that vibe. That's why beach towns feel like beach towns. Yeah, there's no go-go beach town. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:29 At least not in the United States. I feel like Houston is close to the beach. Houston is kind of closer to the beach, and that's a slow place. Yeah. Yeah. Even if you don't want to get hammered, if you have that afternoon where you're like, I should take it easy, there's just so much fun history there. It's one of America's oldest cities.
Starting point is 00:30:46 It's beautiful. Yeah, and it's gorgeous. If you look at it, the buildings, there'll be pink houses next to turquoise houses, and it all feels natural. It's just great. You go to Lafitte's Bar. It's been open since the 1600s or some crazy. Yeah. Let me see exactly when it's been open since.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But you can go have a drink in a place that's been open since the 1700s. Yeah. Yeah. There was a huge fire and they saved just that bar because it was so important. Yes. Because people love getting hammered there so much. And still to this day, people love getting hammered there. I respect that. And it's open until like 3, 4 in the the morning that's the thing about new orleans yeah like i've gone in a bar
Starting point is 00:31:29 in new orleans when it was dark and come out when it was light again yeah yeah and just been like and then there's like a bunch of steampunks there so it was like a weird time at like six o'clock in the morning where i was like bright out there's all these steampunks around. And I was like, this could be 2065. How long was I in there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like prove it that I didn't just fucking rip Van Winkle my shit. Right, exactly. You can't tell me that.
Starting point is 00:31:53 I got to see a newspaper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're in a Midnight Paris type situation. Like, it could be. It could be. And you're hammered so you convince yourself. You're like, yeah, it is. It is. It could be.
Starting point is 00:32:01 It is. I've done it. Yeah, it is. It is. It could be. It is. I've done it. Well, I took New Orleans, New Orleans, New Orleans.
Starting point is 00:32:07 New Orleans. New Orleans with my first pick. David Borey, it is time for your first pick. A lot of people would think I would go mile high until I die. Yep. Honestly, I got to go with my second city, my home away from home, the sucker free, man, San Francisco, California. San Francisco. It is the best freak town ever
Starting point is 00:32:28 like if you're a freak and you're a weird person it like is so embracing like i've never gone to a city and gone out and got drunk and been like everyone here is gonna get laid tonight yeah like that's how that city feels it's like it feels like everyone's gonna get laid tonight yeah like that's how that city feels it's like it feels like everyone's gonna get laid nobody's here for a long time yeah you meet the weirdest people because you'll just be drinking and then now all of a sudden you're drinking with these croatian dudes and holy shit he's got acid and then this other one's got a roof you can hang out with now it's five o'clock in the morning you're talking to some dude who was in a punk band called the ex-boyfriends and he's shitting on the castro gays because the mission gays are cooler and you're just like what happened and then you wake up in a park
Starting point is 00:33:13 and it's okay that's amazing right okay because that's almost the city's proudest tradition is nights like that yeah yeah it's just i've never gotten weirder with groups of stranger people than i have in San Francisco. And everybody gets laid because they're all weirdos. They just want to touch something. Yeah. You just want to rub up on something in the night. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:33:34 They just want the physical consistency of an erect penis. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, San Francisco at four in the morning will make you do things you didn't know you could do. Or like I fucking, Sam Talent, my great friend, came out to San Francisco and we started drinking at 6 p.m. By 3 o'clock in the morning, I was bombing a shortboard down a San Francisco hill on the way to the beach. Hit the tracks, right? Rough idea.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Dude, I got probably six, seven blocks, too. I was flat moving. Had you skateboarded before? Yeah. I mean, I had rode a skateboard before. But not like bombing a hill? That's the point where you can just jump off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Oh, yeah. I either fall or I make it. And it was starting to get in. I was getting the speed wobbles. And then I hit a fucking track. Damn. Like one of the train tracks the the train tracks fell busted my head open i'm bleeding right from my head these two hobos are drinking tequila in a stairwell
Starting point is 00:34:31 they're like holy shit man are you okay and i was like i don't know man and they're like come over here so i go over there and i'm drinking pounding this tequila with these hobos my friends catch up to me they're like are you okay you're bleeding i was like i'm fine let's go to the beach then me and sam talent go to the beach we strip down into our underwear and we run to the beach and this is like four o'clock in the morning yeah i got a head with a busted head about to get in some salt water shark water i dropped my phone in the water because i'm trying to take a picture right sam talent looks at me under the full moonlight in our underwear in the ocean this beautiful spot and sam looks at me he's like you don't need it and i was like i don't need it and it was like so beautiful i woke up the next day and totally missed work and it sucked that i didn't have my phone yeah the last thing i thought
Starting point is 00:35:20 you were gonna say is that you went to work the next day no i didn't even go to work no way there was no way that kind of a weird night is like that San Francisco to me. That is a fucking – that's a beautiful night. The weirdest shit. Yeah. I love weird, weird shit with strange people. That city is amazing. I went to a spaghetti restaurant and got a 40 with my spaghetti.
Starting point is 00:35:39 San Francisco. Fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it is. It's changing a little bit, but they'll never be able to fully chase out the freak stuff no you can't get away from it these techies are trying to crush it but you just like you can't because there's so many like everybody you like people move there to live an alternative lifestyle yeah you know what i mean or to fake
Starting point is 00:36:00 like they're living well yeah or like run away from where they were yeah and just like sit around and be weird so it's like there's just so much i learned so much about different kinds of people there and yeah pansexual i didn't even know that was a thing i thought it was like playing the flute while you sexed yeah but it's like it's actually a type of person do you find a pansexual eating pan fried noodles at a restaurant in chinaatown? Yeah, I've been pansexual. Been pansexual. Where you been? I get pansexual three times a week.
Starting point is 00:36:30 It is an amazing city, too. One thing I really love is how unassimilated some of the cultures are there, which is great. Because you go to Chinatown. It's like another country. Right, exactly. Yeah. And even if you go to North Beach, you'll go to an Italian restaurant where everyone's speaking Italian.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Yeah. You know? Yeah, that's the thing is they really, like, held on. I know people who, they call it ABC, America Born Chinatown. And I know Chinese dudes with accents who lived in San Francisco. Who've, like, lived in San Francisco their whole life. Yeah. It's just, like, it's the, and Chinatown after dark is, like, sketchy.
Starting point is 00:37:04 But, like, there used to be this China cab. And it was just this Chinese guy. chinatown after dark is like sketchy but like there used to be this china cab and it was just this chinese guy and you would call him yeah and he'd be like where are you and you'd be like i'm here i have to get to here i got seven bucks and you'd be like all right the original you once gave a ride to the guy who found an uber yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's like you know what we could do. San Francisco is one of the greats. And another one just like with tradition. You'll go to a bar and it's like where the beat poets drank at. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Oh, yeah. Or just like the bar we used to run shows at that was like the bar that Robin Williams and all them drank at in the 80s and shit like that. Yeah. It was just like it's everywhere. And you talk to it's the city's so small that its and shit like that. Yeah. It was just like, it's everywhere. And you talk to, it's the city's so small that it's like a small town. Yeah. It's seven miles by seven miles. So every time you would go out, you would see people you knew
Starting point is 00:37:54 because you only go to the same five neighborhoods. Right, exactly. You know what I mean? So it was like, it's just, yeah, it's the best for a weekend. And just like for anonymity, I met so many people that you've become friends with who just are like yeah i'm just from texas and i'm going home on monday but here we are now yeah let's be friends for the weekend yeah yeah yeah that's because that's how people use that city like it's a
Starting point is 00:38:15 it's a transition city nobody lives there that long anyway no you can't nobody can afford it yeah how do you how do you live there well it used to be that all the artists were living like grimy like me and my friends. Yeah. But then after a while, even that started to fade. That's what's happening, yeah, back in Portland, too, is, like, a lot of those places where, like, the flop houses. Like, I would live, you know, I lived in an apartment with three other people in two bedrooms.
Starting point is 00:38:38 But, like, I had friends who, like, six of them would live in a house, you know, and They all paid $250. Exactly, yeah. And the rent was, like or medium high, but like there were enough of them just like fucking vegging out in this house. And then they knocked that over and put up condos and apartments and be like, it's going to drive rent down. It's like, it's not.
Starting point is 00:38:55 No. There's only one person can live there. Yeah. Cause you're not going to give us enough keys to make this work. Yeah. Oh yeah. And you don't want to have, you don't want to live in that apartment where you got three dudes living there on the low. Carpet. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you don't want to have, you don't want to live in that apartment where you got three dudes living there on the low.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Carpet. Yeah. Yeah. Carpet. Just the concrete floors. Yes. You can't have carpet when there's like a flop house. San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:39:19 San Francisco. Fantastic pick. And because you, because you're going last, you also got the first pick. I'm going to double down right now. and I'm going to say Reno, Nevada. What the fuck? Yeah, you didn't see it coming, did you? No, I didn't see it coming. Reno has only ever been excellent to me.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Reno, Nevada? I have never had a bad time in Reno. Yeah. Straight up. I think it's like, because you know what it is? It's like kind of scummy. It is kind of scummy, yeah. But it's also still got that Vegas element.
Starting point is 00:39:52 So there's people there who are excited to be there. So it's kind of trashy. It's a little trashy. It's a little glitzy. Yeah, but there's a lot of people who are excited to be there. It's cheap as fuck. It is cheap as fuck. 250 prime rib across the place.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's a fantastic selling point. Reno is what people like yeah oh yeah when people think of vegas you know like the shrimp cocktails the cheap buffets blah blah blah that's reno that that doesn't exist in vegas exactly reno is like the dream reno is like what you want it's like i always think about reno i say like reno is your hometown if your hometown had casinos yeah yeah it kind of is yeah, it's a bunch of real normal people. Yeah. But then they got this weird downtown.
Starting point is 00:40:29 And a bunch of people, a tech company moved from Memphis. Yeah. And I think it was like 2,000 people under 35. They moved all these jobs to Reno. Oh, shit. So there's a whole bunch of young people there. I did a show there one time. And this might be a lot of the reason I picked Reno. Yeah. We did a show there one time and this might be a lot of
Starting point is 00:40:46 the reason i picked greeno yeah we did a show there and we all smashed it was a great show like one of those fantastic ones and then afterwards we were staying at my buddy's house whose parents house yeah they're real rich like they had a steam shower in the house it was lit that's amazing yeah and we like we were like we should should just ask all these girls if they want to go. Every girl we asked came back to the house with us. What? Every single one. It was incredible. My friend Andrew Holmgren had sex with a heckler's girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:41:16 He was like, we're going to this house. And her boyfriend was like, yeah, well, we're not going to do that. And she's like, I guess I could come. It was the best. We ate a bunch of Molly. Yeah. And the party numbered. It was like girls to boys.
Starting point is 00:41:30 How long ago is this? Because Molly hasn't been around that long. This was like two or three years ago. This wasn't a long time, baby. I love it. It was not a long time ago. I love it. But yeah, Reno, it's greasy.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Everybody there, they acknowledge it's greasy, and they love it for it. Yeah, yeah, they do. Like, I was drunk eating a burger called the Awful Awful. I've had the Awful Awful. The Awful Awful. Yeah. Just because of that, I'd pick Reno.
Starting point is 00:41:53 The Awful Awful. Doesn't it have peanut butter in it? It has a bunch of shit in it. Yeah. I've had the Awful Awful. It's like, yeah. Jen Allen, my college girlfriend and still one of my dear friends, is from Reno or just outside of Reno. Yeah. And the Aw uh reno or just outside of reno
Starting point is 00:42:05 uh yeah and the the awful awful is right outside of unlv right or yeah you're not you another un reno university of nevada yeah yeah dude it's a fucking that burger is nuts yeah that place is like it's like it's like this it's like going to the 70s yeah it does feel like that yeah like you're near tahoe. Tahoe. You're near Tahoe. Tahoe's dope. You're near this place called Virginia City
Starting point is 00:42:28 which is one of those locked in history or locked in time cities because it was like a big silver mining. So there's just this old west city up in the hills
Starting point is 00:42:36 which is like really fun. You like walk around and you get drunk in one of those in the bucket of blood. Like an abandoned city type of thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:43 But they've like populated it with people like with historical reenactors and stuff. But you can go to the bucket of blood saloon, which has been around since the 1800s, and, like, have a drink. See, that's what I'm about. Yeah. I'm about crappy old stuff. Like, that's why, yeah, Reno is, like, never going to change. Like, Vegas is too flashy for me. Vegas is doing, you know, I'll have fun in Vegas, but Vegas is like, when you think of,
Starting point is 00:43:06 when you think of what Vegas meant to America, that's Reno. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like Reno's the dream. There's no Cirque de Soleil shows there. And if they are, it's a weird budget Cirque de Soleil. It's based on Shrek.
Starting point is 00:43:18 It's Shrek de Soleil. It's Shrek de Soleil. Yeah. That's what you would get in Reno. It would be like. That's what I want. Like. Yeah. I'm a man of the Reno. And it would be like. That's what I want. Like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:27 I'm a man of the people. Like, I go to Vegas. I want to stay at Circus Circus. Yes. You know what I mean? Because they let me drink beers on the floor there from a case. Me and Funches did a show in Reno once. Way back in the day.
Starting point is 00:43:39 How was it? It was fantastic. Just you two? Yeah. Well, us and Jen and like two locals. Oh, that's right. Yeah. One of the locals, Matt Wiegand. Yeah. I, us and Jen and like two locals. Oh, that's right. Yeah. One of the locals, Matt Wiegand.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Yeah. I think I know that name. I remember because he, I went back, because I've been to Reno a few times. Yeah. And he was like the go-to guy. And I remember him telling me, he was like, yeah. One time, he was like, one time out of nowhere, Funches and Ian Carmel came here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:00 And I got to open for him. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It was Matt Wiegand. At a bowling alley. Yes. Yeah. And he was so stoked about it. And the show was great, him. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it was Matt Wiegand. At a bowling alley. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, and he was so stoked about it.
Starting point is 00:44:07 And the show was great, though. He was like, yeah, it's... No, the people are cool. They're cool people. And they all get it. Like, sometimes you go to some places and you're like, that's kind of weird in here, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Fuck you. We'll carry you. Boston's the best. Right. But like in Reno, they're just like, yeah, man, it's like gross here. It's gross. We love it. Yeah, we're having a great time.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I wore shorts to court. Yeah. Hawaiian shorts. Look at me. I beat the game. Fuck, Reno. I'm convinced, man. Reno is, it's a grimy time.
Starting point is 00:44:36 It's a good grimy time. We got nothing to do. We can just drive to Reno after this. We could go to Reno. Dude, it only takes like five hours. It's close. Yeah, it's not far. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Well, that excellent first pick of the second round went back to back with San Francisco and Reno, Nevada. West Coast is the best coast. I'm putting Reno on the West Coast. It is. Yeah, technically. Now I'm going to keep it West Coast and redeem my first pick. I had to get New Orleans because I was afraid it was going to fall off the board. You don't need to redeem.
Starting point is 00:45:02 That's a fantastic pick. It's a good pick. But I have to redeem myself to my home city, my people, the people of Portland, Oregon. Because that's where I'm going with my second pick. I feel. Now, what's your Portland weekend? That's what I want to hear. Well, it's a quiet dinner with mom.
Starting point is 00:45:16 No. And then a loud dinner with dad. And then a loud dinner with dad. Because he's a loud motherfucker. My Portland weekend starts the second I get on the plane in L.A. Okay. The second I start on the plane. I will, because it's a close flight, so I will sometime spring for the first class,
Starting point is 00:45:34 and I will make that money back. I get it. I will make that money back on double scotches. Uh-huh. Just on the flight up. I mean, if you're going to drink four drinks, three, four drinks, there it is. You're going to kind of make your money back. That would be like 60 bucks.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I never thought about it as an investment. It's an investment. If you're going to a place where you know you're going to hit the ground running, you might as well go first class. Especially on these short, how much more is it on these short flights? Not that much. What is it, like 50, 60 bucks more or something? It ended, from to Portland for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Starting point is 00:46:07 I was just there. It ended up being $60 more for there and back. See, that's all. You got to make that move. How do you not do it? You got to make that move. You know? I've been thinking about next year toying with forced class.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Like, because I get so many free plane tickets. Yeah. I'm like, if the plane ticket's free, I'll pay the $120. If I'm going to New York or something. And get that upgrade. I'll just get the upgrade. I'm not out. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:30 It's fucking worth it. And let's just have the scotches. Yes. You drink the scotches. I was always taught, because we never flew first class growing up, of course. It always seems so bougie and impossible. And now I'm like, oh, no, that's like a reasonable thing you can spend your money on. I feel like you just don't do it if you have kids.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Yeah. Right. Exactly. Because then it's like, it shoots it up. I get furious when you can spend your money on. I feel like you just don't do it if you have kids. Yeah, right, exactly. Because then it's like it shoots it up. I get furious when I see kids in first class. I'm like, yeah, he's not freaking Scotch. You little piece of shit. You weigh 90 pounds at most. Yo, I could end you.
Starting point is 00:46:54 That seat back there is like a living room. Right, exactly. Just go to the fucking normal seat that's like a giant living room. Kids got a whole Lego village set up in a seat in first class. Yeah, shut up. Not even appreciating it. Legs don't even hit the ground like what the fuck you barely drinking you know so it starts there and then you like and then you
Starting point is 00:47:09 get off the plane and my mom god bless her heart will will not let me not get picked up from the airport oh that's beautiful i love it i love it nothing feels like home to me like being like uh a little buzzed and like standing in the cold air outside of the portland airport cold thanksgiving air and seeing that red uh honda crv show up with sue carmel in it always got like a bottle of sparkling water and a snack for me she does not stop being a mom but uh and then we'll and then she'll either just drop me off at the hotel if it's late or we'll go grab a bite uh let's say in this in this one we don't go grab a bite. Sure.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I'll meet up with friends. Like for the birthday weekend. We got up to Portland. Yeah, that's the perfect weekend. That same night. I had my birthday weekend up there. Sean came up and got off the plane. We went to this place called Kochka, which is a Russian restaurant.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Dog. And we were just – I got the – we got the fixed menu. So they were bringing in all this weird-ass Russian food. They eat weird shit. They eat weird shit like cold herring and just like – But like it's like cool shit to eat while you're drinking. That's exactly what it is. So we were just pounding vodka flights.
Starting point is 00:48:17 How many shots of vodka did we do? I bet we had like 15 or 16 shots of vodka in like an hour and a half because Ian kept getting flights. So they'd bring four different shots of vodka for each of us at a time and we got like five of those. They were slightly smaller, but I bet it ended up being about 12 shots per person. It was bananas, dude. Yeah. But you're eating, so you're like – Eating, just having a great time, putting it away.
Starting point is 00:48:38 And then, I mean, the food is so good. And anything you want to do – anything I want to do anyway, Portland has some of the best stuff. Definitely. They have amazing restaurants. They have amazing, like, good restaurants. Like, you can go to Ava Jean's. You can go to, like, Paley's Place. You know, there's, like, amazing good restaurants that you can go to if you want to have, like, a classy dinner.
Starting point is 00:48:59 There's also amazing shitty good restaurants. You know what I mean? Like, shitty is not even the right word. You can go to Bunk Sandwiches and they will make you a fucking Cubano that's like the best sandwich you've ever had in your life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:09 You go to Fire on the Mountain, get some chicken wings. The best chicken wings. Yes, you can. The best chicken wings. Are they wood smoked? Dude, I don't know what they do.
Starting point is 00:49:18 I do not think so. I don't like smoked chicken wings. No, they're not smoked. They're like, it's a traditional fried wing. I'm telling you, dog. I wish that you guys could see Jordan's face on it. Fire on the Mountain holds such a special place in my heart
Starting point is 00:49:34 because Ian and Shane and Jen lived like five blocks from there. So we went there on the crazy regular. That's how we would start if we knew we were going to have a real fun night. We always started with, let's go to Fire in the Mountain. Get some wings. Yeah, let's start this day on the right and left foot. They got these fried pickles there that are so good.
Starting point is 00:49:56 They're so fucking good. And the wings. We'll go next time we're all in Portland. Yeah, sure. I want to go to Portland soon. And it's just fucking, it's the best. Like, restaurant-wise, they got you. Bars, they have great fucking bars. Great, like, actual dive bars still.
Starting point is 00:50:13 That's how I feel about it. And their food is good. All the food is good in the bars. All the bar food I've ever gotten in Portland has been fantastic. Because in Oregon, you have to serve food if you sell alcohol. Is that the deal? So everybody's selling food. And it's so cheap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Is it like a competing thing? Like they're all competing? Is that what? Or is it just... The drinks... That's just what they cost up there. Like I went to Holman's, which is one of my favorite bars. Yeah. For no reason, it's memories. It's like a dive bar, but it's a great dive bar. I bought the table. I bought us
Starting point is 00:50:43 food and drinks for the whole table they brought the bill out 78 dollars we eat everyone had a couple drinks and we got two baskets of wings yeah and like two other sides i was like what the fuck just happened how is this only 78 dollars dude and like so less than a parking ticket less than a parking ticket which i won't pass it fuck la fuck whoever's giving me parking tickets in l.a i won't pay tell it tell it i'll come get it unpark it yeah uh it's it's god you just have you can have like a crate i had like just yeah the only i'm not a big strip club guy yeah portland has the only strip clubs that i've ever been to yeah where most of the girls dancing don't look like they're having a horrible time.
Starting point is 00:51:30 They're enjoying it. That's one of the big reasons I don't really like going to strip clubs because I don't – if I'm looking at a girl and she doesn't look like she's enjoying it, like aware of the situation. Like, yes, this is fun. I realize I'm naked, but I'm having fun. And in Portland, it's like a fun vibe it's sassy it's a it's a bar that like happens to have like playing dr dray super fun bar that happens to have strippers at it nobody just looks at you and wants to kick the shit out of you immediately it's just like yeah come on in let's chill it's it's it's the fucking the strip clubs if you like strip clubs it's got the best strip clubs hands down uh it does it does now

Yeah, what bank did you rob in Salem?
Starting point is 00:54:36 The off switch for the nice guy button was there. He was like a prick and it almost like I couldn't let it go after that point. And I started talking to him. I'm like, where are you from? And he had just moved there. I'm like, of course you just fucking moved here. Here's the thing about you're at home. You're deep with your friends.

Sure. Perfect. Which is a thing you can do. I was just staying at the Ace Hotel downtown, and I was like, I'm going to walk, and it took 20 minutes. It was so close.
Starting point is 00:57:52 And the bridges. Maybe half an hour. Walking across any one of those bridges is so beautiful. Dude. Like you can, Hawthorne, Morrison, any one of those bridges, Burnside, you walk across it, and you're like, this is, right in the middle of the bridge every time i go back i'm just like this this is dope yeah it's just you can see you can see mount hood most of the time you can see mount st helens most of the time and it's fantastic r.i.p the white owl social club being cool dog yeah that place is not cool anymore man sucks now they had a patio the size of a goddamn football field and nobody was was ever there. We would just go take it over. And that was all after our shows.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It would fill up at night. Yeah, we don't meet there. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, it was dope. Now it's like pounding club music every night. It happens. It's how things go.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah, that's what they do. Sometimes I've noticed if a place has a lot of space, it's only a minute until they're trying to train. At least I get to DJ from time to time, which is nice. I get to stretch my legs. DJ BJ. I get to go on the ones and twos. Yeah, dude. DJ for the whole house.
Starting point is 00:58:48 DJ BJ, know what it is. I just remember rolling into town one night, and, like, all of a sudden there was a line. And I was like, what? A line. Yeah. It sucks when a place you like gets popping. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Because there's, like, that, like, it's like breaking up with somebody. Like, you have to, like, let it go. Yeah. Like, at first you try to force it, and it's, like, the place you love like it's like breaking up with somebody like you have to like let it go yeah like at first you try to force it and it's like the place you love it's popping but you still go in there and you're really like you know this is where the fuck have you been i've been here and then after a while you're just like all right i'm not doing this is not my beautiful wife yeah yeah how did i get here it's just man i fucking love portland shout out to the real of the tavern
Starting point is 00:59:22 shout out to holman shout out to the Real Women Tavern. Shout out to Holman's. Shout out to The Standard. Shout out to that taco place across the street from The Standard. The Standard. They will come outside if it's past 10 o'clock and they'll tell you, like, you got to keep it down. Because there's a house attached to it. You can still go crazy inside. You can still go wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:41 They can hear me inside screaming. I guarantee they can. Kicking the pinball machine that's attached to their living room wall. Just some good nights. Good nights with this man making the next pick, Sean Jordan. It's time for your second pick. It is. And I'm going to go with Minneapolis, Minnesota. Aha.
Starting point is 00:59:58 That's a good pick. It is. Because it's always been my favorite city. In general, it's always been where I wanted to live. I wanted to move there. But we used to go up for weekends constantly. How far is it from Sioux Falls? Like three and a half hours.
Starting point is 01:00:13 And it's just far enough where you're like, I went on a big trip. Like this is, you know, I'm 16. The older you get, you turn a new adult. You're like, let's go to Minneapolis, get a hotel room for the night. Or a couple and just fucking handle it. And it was like the first big downtown that we ever went to. And I was like, you can just go down. That downtown actually has stuff going on.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Like a lot of cities, you go downtown and it like it'll shut down at 10 o'clock or midnight or something. Minneapolis is cracking. Downtown isn't cracking. Like when you're a kid, you think downtown is super, but it's not. Downtown ain't shit. Most places, it's not. Even in Portland. I mean, it's starting to pick up a little bit now, but like.
Starting point is 01:00:58 I was thinking about that when you guys were talking. I've never been to downtown Portland. Southeast is where it's at for the most part. Yeah. You can like, there's the Pearl District is Chinatown, but it's like shitty woo girls and dudes who want to fight you. Downtown, so you can go to Minneapolis, you drive up, and the suburbs are super, like, they have, like, Emma Crumbies.
Starting point is 01:01:21 You can go get, like, an amazing piece of cherry pie at this like little mom and shop place. I didn't know that it was a pie place. It makes complete sense. Emma Crumbies. You do that? It said crumb in it. Yeah. Also the teacher at Hogwarts.
Starting point is 01:01:34 They have like the Jolly Green Giant. There's a silo that's painted like a big Dr. Pepper can. And that's like all the – like right on the burbs. You check into your room and then you can go get a Juicy Lucy, which is you can go get both. One of the originals. You ain't got to tell me what that is, dude. I fucking love that. I've heard about the Juicy Lucy.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Yes. So they have – there's two places that say they made it up, and you can just go ahead and go to both. Yes. Because they're like maybe a mile or two apart. So you just go get two. They're not gigantic. Like one of the – the place that says they have the original Juicy Lucy, well, one of them, they don't use any bells and whistles.
Starting point is 01:02:08 They give you like paper plates. Yeah. And they're like, we spend all of our money on the burger. And you're like, I'm into that. I respect that. I'm super into that. So you can go get a Juicy Lucy. And for me personally, if a weekend involved like a hip hop show, maybe I got to see Atmosphere.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Wait, you have to explain what the Juicy Lucy is. Oh, it's two burgers with cheese melted inside. So you take a patty, put a brick of cheese on it, put another patty on top, and then grill it. Squish those patties together. And then the cheese liquefies. It's inside. It's trapped inside. Yeah, it's trapped inside.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Yeah, you pinch the patties around the block of cheese. And it is... Dude, when you bite into a Juicy Lucy... That's crazy. Because you don't believe it. When you get it, you're like, there's no cheese in here. And then you bite into it,
Starting point is 01:02:48 and you're like, there's cheese in here, dude. Damn. Damn. It's so good. Yep. It is fantastic. There's bunny rabbits running around. That blew me away.
Starting point is 01:02:57 He was losing his mind. There's rabbits everywhere? Yeah. I've never been to a rabbit. Just the way most people have squirrels or pigeons. Yeah, there's bunny rabbits. I'm so used to that. but when Ian and I were there, he freaked when he saw a bunny rabbit.
Starting point is 01:03:09 I'm like, you're going to see like 30 of those, dude. I mean, you do. They're everywhere. They fuck like rabbits. You can go to the Fifth Element, which is Atmosphere's record store. And this is like a specific sort of weekend but like for me this is the weekend you go you go into the fifth element and you just look around
Starting point is 01:03:31 maybe you see like a slug in there like a famous rapper and you're just like holy shit slug just hangs oh yeah minneapolis yeah you can go to first ave it's fantastic right downtown so much history at first you can just walk them by looking at the wall. You can look at Prince's house. My mom made us do that one time. She thought we were going to get into Prince's house. And Minneapolis, to go back, has the Mall of America. So right there.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Yes, it does. That is, for me, the last time I was there, I was just there like three weeks ago or four weeks ago. And I took the train from downtown, which is another key point for a nice weekend is easy public transit. You can just take the train to the Burbs real quick. I met my mom for lunch at the Mall of America because she was in Minneapolis. And you waited at the food court? Yeah. Fuck yeah. Dude, the food court.
Starting point is 01:04:17 The biggest, buckest food court. Walked all around the mall. Went back. Acme, my favorite comedy club in the world. Great comedy club. All of this is in Minneapolis. You can throw wild hair in there. Go to the Gay 90s if you want to get bucked.
Starting point is 01:04:27 What's the Gay 90s? It's just like a gay dance club. It's fantastic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fantastic. You could pay $15 at Deja Vu to get a coke and a hug. Go see some women that can only take their top off. Oh, word, word, word. Okay. You can walk across the bridge, go over to Dinky Town where all the college
Starting point is 01:04:44 kids are kicking it and have a little night. We went over there. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like six or seven blocks where it's just off the rack college parties. We got hammered at a VFW while we were there. We did. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Which is another. You can just pick and choose what you want to do and then you can go get into it. And it's a blast. And it's still got that Midwest vibe where everyone's pretty nice, pretty calm, pretty chill. But it's a big city. Girls have ridiculous accents. Oh, the Minnesota? Nothing better than seeing a super attractive woman where she's like, oh my God, you're
Starting point is 01:05:13 from LA? And you're like, well, you know, I live in LA now. Yeah, yeah. That's how you got to play it. That's how you got to play it. I mean, LA begged me, basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I think, too.
Starting point is 01:05:22 I'm always like, I really love San Francisco. But after a while, you just... You know, you can only take so many people down. They make you go down. They make you move. They make you move. The mayor of San Francisco said, David, we love you, but we need you now more than ever to go make it big.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Yeah, you're too big for this town, dude. You need to be down here. They're like, oh my god, what's that like? And you remind them, you're like, I want it to be here, but it's wrong. Oh my god. And when they're drunk the accent gets so much stronger dude it's go to a jordan family crispy like whenever i go back i'm like maybe they don't have accents and everybody drinks that bottle of schnapps that uncle tim
Starting point is 01:05:56 brings and oh yeah like midnight everyone's calling each other out for cheating on car go you can't see it you didn't have that i saw you pull it from the bottom of the deck, though. Shit. Where the fuck did that come from? That's a good accent. I like that accent. That's a friendly accent. It's a calming accent. It's funny watching dudes get heated with that.
Starting point is 01:06:16 I like the Midwest accent. Yeah. Yeah? Well, you know what the Midwest is. Young and restless, dude. Yeah. Now, let's see. You've stayed in the Midwest so far Screwfall South Dakota

So this girl, the girl that broke my heart, the reason I don't live in Minneapolis, she bought us tickets. Before she broke my heart, she bought us tickets to go to the show.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Then, you know, some activities went down that I wasn't fond of. Still went to the show. With her? With her and like a crew. So we checked. We're all staying in the same. It was such a fucking bad idea. We're all staying in the same hotel.

So I went and slept on the curb out in front of first avenue for like an hour they let me back in i don't know why they did probably because i was being pretty chill about the whole thing and i was like listen i understand so let me back in by then i was sober watched the whole show it was great and then got super drunk again and then gotten a huge but yeah i've been to first have a few times What have you been to?

We drove there from LA, which la which again is like a quaint drive you feel like four hours like five with traffic something like that yeah but we check i do realize that you need you need some of that fucking some of that cheddar cheese oh you gotta have a fun weekend it's an expensive city petty town it's an expensive city it was it was my birthday and the host of of uh this particular show was very kind to me on my birthday.
Starting point is 01:09:45 So we had a weekend. And if you got a little, like, you check in. Man, the way you guys are both, like, looking at each other knowingly. It's fun. It's like you went to war together. I didn't know that you can bring in liquor and beer everywhere. Everywhere. There were people in the Walgreens with open beers.
Starting point is 01:10:04 In the Walgreens. open beers in the walgreens yeah everywhere i mean it was bananas and you can like people were smoking everywhere not that that's like attractive but you were you were bedlam our buddy nick man pay shout out to nick man pay had to convince you to go smoke in the hallway i couldn't believe it he was like just smoking here but you can go smoke right outside in the hallway. And you were like, no, I can't. He made me. Yeah. And I felt horrible.
Starting point is 01:10:27 Because it's an hour and a half to get outside from anywhere in a casino. That's what I noticed about it. It's so hard to just go outside. It's so hard. Like, they set it up like that. Normally, you don't even want to go outside. But the whole thing is an event. Like, walking through the hotel every time I would get lost, I'm like, this is such a trip.
Starting point is 01:10:47 What hotel was it? Caesars Palace. Caesars Palace. Shit, yeah, man. So you guys were like in it. In it. We're doing the damn thing. In Las Vegas.
Starting point is 01:10:54 In it. Connected to Bellagio. It's just such a crazy weekend. What's across the street? Is it Plano? There's like a great, I don't know. But yeah, that shit is like. We walked.
Starting point is 01:11:04 You almost don't even need to leave a hotel to get to like six different hotels. We walked and got breakfast at New York, New York, and we were on the street for maybe a block. The rest of it was just inside catacombs. And it's fun. It's like a giant adult Disneyland where you just get hammered. It's amazing. I cannot fathom going there for more than three days. I cannot wrap my mind around it.
Starting point is 01:11:25 That's the amount of time you can go for. I went for four this year over my birthday, and it was like too much. Four is a lot. And if you live there, obviously you're never going down to the Strip. I'm sure that if you live there, that's the worst idea in the world. Like living here and someone being like, hey, let's go to Santa Monica real quick. Right. You're like, I do not want to go to fuckinganta monica yeah yeah yeah drunk assholes yeah it was crazy and then you throw you put that you put that kanye cherry on top and that was just you guys saw yeezy and one of the best weekends of my entire how great was
Starting point is 01:11:58 it it was the best who else was on the show nobody it easy. It was the – Who was on the platform with the Laser Light Show? The perfect show for a grown-up to go to. Yeah. No opener, no encore, just like an hour and a half of hits, and you're like, that's all I wanted. That's perfect. I was on Molly, and I had a Chibichu, and I was hammered. It was so much fun. You didn't go quite that hard.
Starting point is 01:12:19 I couldn't do the Molly. That feels good just thinking about it. Yeah. It was, man, and everybody – It's like going to church. It was like going to church. It was like going to church. I was like, because you were around all these other Kanye fans. There was a mosh pit, but it was the nicest mosh pit I've ever been in.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Why was it? Because nobody wanted to fuck their shoes up. Everybody was concerned about their kicks. It is so true. Everyone had like 300 or better on their feet. Oh, man, you bought these fives. I'm not going to fuck up my great fives. You have a good time.
Starting point is 01:12:44 So nobody was being mean or anything and people were like that's like there was so much i've never seen more t-shirt fashion in my life yeah where people were like that is a dope t-shirt normally it's like something other than a t-shirt that's yeah yeah yeah this is all long joggers yeah fun conversation in the bathroom line none of that weird was just like fun like yeah dude i heard i heard kim kardashian's here we're like yeah i bet probably yeah that same night so we we hung out in the hotel room and had drinks in the hotel room and then went and put money down on uh on uh i put money on the blazers yeah it's good here you
Starting point is 01:13:21 go vegas is good if you're not if you're not like is good if you're not, like, broken. Like, if you're not addicted, I guess, to stuff. Yeah, that's how I feel. If you're going to go drop all your money gambling or, like, betting or drinking, it would suck. But, like, if you can chill in the room. Like, we chilled in the room for a long, a lot of the time. We were in the room, and it was a blast. Well, because the room, that's what I like about Vegas, too, is, like, chilling in the room is its own event.
Starting point is 01:13:44 It's its own event? Because the room is so sick. Yeah because the room that's what i like about vegas too is like chilling in the room is its own event it's its own because the room is so sick yeah the rooms are like yeah you're just scar facing it in the room sometimes dude we had we like went to walgreens and bought a bunch of booze and just hung out in the room and like had basketball in the background and we're like listening to music just drinking and like not even just pre-gaming gaming no gaming the game was expensive for like a good room no especially if you're off season it's like pretty cheap dude it was amazing and then we went to the kanye concert you this was our second night so you had to you'd call it a night but some of us i mean it was crazy that you guys didn't because you guys were going harder in the paint than i
Starting point is 01:14:19 was yeah so it's like yeah like two in the morning or. We get back to the room and I'm like, I cannot stand up. But we're going out. And we're like, we're going out. Future was doing a show. You guys went and saw Future after Kanye? We went to the Kanye concert. We heard about Future doing a show. We got to where Future was doing a show.
Starting point is 01:14:35 We could hear Future. But we asked the guy, I was like, what would it cost to get up there? He's like, there's only like 15 minutes left of the show. And we were like, what would it cost? He's like, 80 bucks a person. And we were like, no. Not for 15 minutes left of the show. And we were like, what would it cost? He's like 80 bucks a person. And we were like, no. Not for 15 minutes.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Not for 15 minutes of future. He already did fuck up some comments. Exactly. So there's no, yeah, I wasn't about to fuck up some comments to go see. Yeah. The thing about Vegas is I feel like,
Starting point is 01:14:58 cause we're, we're mapping out a pretty gnarly weekend. Yeah. But that happens a lot. Like that's what you go for. That kind of stuff happens frequently. It's not not even like you need a vacation from vegas yeah 100 that's how i felt like i went there but it was like working it was partying but it was like yeah oh working you know what i mean like you were really putting a lot of energy into like we got back and i was
Starting point is 01:15:19 so i just like yeah i'm gonna i'm just gonna tune out for like a whole day yeah you gotta like yeah you gotta you gotta take time off. Dude, that first night was wild. That was the night I – because if you do have a little money, you can get away with anything. I didn't want to – we got hammered the first night. And just in the room again, like we went out and walked around a little bit, but we were just hanging out in the room. We ended up going to this very expensive steak restaurant. And like I ordered – we ordered a bottle of wine and appet appetizers they should not have sold us that bottle of wine and uh a bottle of wine got was i mean i don't even
Starting point is 01:15:54 think we drank it like water we drank it like air yeah it's just going into the body and uh and like they brought the appetizers and i just used their big leather menu as a plate. And they ate like a meatball off of a big leather menu. Yo, that is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Yo, because just like if I had just seen you from across the restaurant, I would have been like, this dude is wild right now. By the way, we all walked in with Miller Lights. Yeah. To like the nicest restaurant in Caesars Palace. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:16:25 And they didn't give a shit. Yeah, as long as the check clears, dude. They would have thought it was weird if we didn't have Miller Lights from the looks they were giving us. I think that's the coolest part about Vegas is it's like the great equalizer. Yeah. Because broke people go there to spend money. Yes, they do. They don't give a shit what you look like.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah. They're just like, yeah, you got cash, come in. You can't tell who's got money and who doesn't exactly everybody's ready to spend money you make everybody's dressed real sharp and like everybody's spending money it's great i made friends just for a second but we made friends with this dude who was like there to see fish who's from philly i was just like a fucking philly guy and we like became friends just for a second we changed numbers never saw him again yeah uh because it's vegas you get to see people like in their – because you will see the person in a NASCAR shirt with cargo shorts. But you also get to see people of all economic backgrounds from all over America in their party clothes.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Yes. That is a good point. Everybody's dressed as cool as they can be. We saw the hottest, hottest girl on our way to breakfast. Yeah, and she was finishing her night. It was like 9.30 in the morning. You could tell she was just still like, all right, I'm getting back to the room.
Starting point is 01:17:34 She propositioned us sexually. Wait, what? She did. She was like, what's going on? We're like, oh, we're just heading to breakfast. We had a pretty hard night. She's like, oh, yeah? We should go back up to your room. It was, you know, where's going on? We're like, oh, we're just heading to breakfast. We had a pretty hard night. She's like, oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:17:46 We should go back up to your room. Where's your room at kind of stuff. And we're like, nah. No, no, no, no, no, no. She was that gnarly? She was that ready to go. Man. I mean, well, come on. Look at us.
Starting point is 01:17:56 What do you expect? A couple of guys. A couple of you guys. 9.30 in the morning? Eating breakfast and shit? Eating breakfast? What girl doesn't like a guy that eats breakfast? Dude, mesh shorts?
Starting point is 01:18:04 You think I didn't have mashed shorts on? Get out of town. Nam Pei went even harder, though, dude. We got back to the room the first night. I passed out on the bed. Nam Pei went back out to gamble. Fucking name it. There's always that guy in the Vegas crew who goes back out to gamble when everything shuts down.
Starting point is 01:18:17 That's Nam Pei, dude. There's always one dude who you're like, oh, shit, well, I'm going back down. And he was rip-roaring the next day, too. He was pretty up. Took me until like 4 o'clock to wake up. shit well i'm going and he was rip roaring the next day too like he was pretty up took me till like four o'clock to wake up i think vegas is like you know how you hear about people going to jail and they just become a different person in jail yeah like that dude was a crackhead on the street now he's just like running shit in jail yeah that's like how vegas is yes like your friend's
Starting point is 01:18:38 like a square and then you get to vegas and then he's just a monster and he busts loose yeah it's crazy and he's going harder than everybody and then he goes back home and you're like but i saw you yeah i saw the real yeah yeah he's like i got kids dog yeah i can't let that stay in vegas yeah in my head now too you were shining so bright on the strip it is nuts it is nuts when you look when you see guys and you're just or or girl just people you see guys and you're just – or girls, just people. You see somebody and you're like, there's a chance you're going to cheat on someone. Oh, people are getting – it's sin, sin. It is so gnarly and that's why I'm excited that that has never – I could – I can't imagine a world where I got a prostate. I'm past that.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Yeah. It would be the most – In Vegas, no. Everybody seems so like – I could never, ever do it. I went to Vegas the first time as an adult with money. Chelsea, when I worked for Chelsea lately, Chelsea was doing the Cosmo. And like a bunch of us from the show went out there.
Starting point is 01:19:38 And like including like Diablo Cody. You were partying with Diablo Cody? Me, Chelsea Handler, some of the other writers, Diablo Cody was kicking it. What a strange crew. That's the first time I ever did Molly. It was like, it was rich person Molly. So I was just like, what? You know?
Starting point is 01:19:53 Rich people drugs, you don't realize. It's better. Because there's like levels to rich people drugs. Yeah. Like there's the low level where rich guys are getting screwed. Yeah. Right? And we've all seen that.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Of course. Rich guy doesn't know how to buy drugs. Sure. But then there's like super rich people. This was rich people like and that's like a crazy like i parted with this dude naspin and he had like french acid yeah and it was crazy dude rich people drugs it's a fucking different level like it's just like it's all clean and like exactly what the drug is supposed to do exactly it's not's not cut with anything weird. Yeah. So I did that. We went to, like, see, we went, she got, like, a bottle service in a booth

There's nowhere to pee either. Yeah. You know, I didn't have... I had to
Starting point is 01:28:48 take a Caduce when we were there, and I didn't have a problem at all. Really? I feel like it's not a poopin' town. It's not a poopin' town. When you have to do it, everywhere's a poopin' town. When it needs to go down? I don't know. I'm a big fella, man. I'm not... There's like... I need certain sparrows to shit in a sparrows.
Starting point is 01:29:04 Yeah, I can't. We walked into like what looked to be some pretty classy bar in Manhattan, started watching basketball. And it was like $5 drinks for happy hours. Very cheap and reasonable. Bathroom was very accommodating. I mean, it was just a giant, you know, just probably about as big as this room. Which, if you're listening, is a big room. Big room.
Starting point is 01:29:21 Big room. Yeah, it was very accommodating. It was a good thing. That, I was terrified about that because, you know, the older you get, like you have a night, and the next day you're like, after I eat, I could need a bathroom pretty quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just how that goes. And it was, yeah, it was fine. It was good.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Good city. Good city for a weekend. Good city for a weekend. Good city for a weekend. Now, David Borah, you need to follow up your Reno, Nevada pick with your final pick of the third round. And I'm sorry to wait third for you guys. I'm sorry. But with the third
Starting point is 01:29:52 pick, I made the earth shift. Denver, Colorado. Denver, Colorado. Mile high till I die, baby. It's the best. It's... Denver is like... Because here's the thing about Denverver it's got everything a great city has and on top of it the people are fan fucking tastic sure denver people are such good
Starting point is 01:30:13 people like if you're going out with a group of people in denver that's your crew for the night and then that means they're your best friends for the night the people that you're out with yeah will fight with you you know what i mean like like if something's going means they're your best friends for the night. The people that you're out with will fight with you. You know what I mean? Like if something's going down, they got your fucking back. You're going to sleep at their house. It's just like people gel. And you might need to fight.
Starting point is 01:30:33 Yeah. I think Denver, in my experiences in Denver, it's both sides of the spectrum. There's the fucking best people you've ever met. And then you're running into some assholes too. That's the thing. It's still spicy. spicy it is spicy that's why i like it it's still spicy late night in denver no that's some spicy people there's some like there's some assholes i like it that you can go out and you know you still don't know yeah you still like like sometimes if i go out in la nothing's gonna happen nothing's gonna happen that rules denver i don't know man you gotta keep your w. Nothing's going to happen. That rules. Denver, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:31:05 You got to keep your wits about you. Yeah. Because 3 o'clock in the morning, you don't know what's going on. You're on the streets. Like, anything could happen. And I like that, like, that whiff of danger to it. And, like, I think. Makes you feel like you lived a little bit.
Starting point is 01:31:17 Yeah. It's like, that's what it is. That adds to the night. Yeah. People there are, like, living. Uh-huh. You know what I mean? It's a drinking town.
Starting point is 01:31:24 It's a hard drinking town. Kind of like fighting with a smile on their face kind of thing. Yeah, people there are like living. You know what I mean? It's a drinking town. It's a hard drinking town. Kind of like fighting with a smile on their face kind of thing. Like, woohoo! Because it won't be a problem the next day. That's the good thing about it. Nothing carries over. It's a spicy town.
Starting point is 01:31:34 It's a hard drinking town. Hard drinking. Hard, hard drinking town. Hard drinking. Everybody, yeah, you guys were at High Plains this year. I've had a couple weekends in Denver where you're just like, damn, dog. High Plains this year was crazy because it was all on that same street. Yeah, it was all on South Broadway.
Starting point is 01:31:51 And that's like where I would hit first. My dream Denver weekend, a touchdown, somebody picks me up at the airport because it's far away from everything. It's terrifyingly far. But now they have the train. Now they got the train. Oh, they got the train now? The train that goes to Union in Denver. Oh, that makes all the difference.
Starting point is 01:32:07 Oh, it's great. I hated having to ask my friends for rides because it's the only city that you do. You're like, I'm not going to drop $60 on a cab. I'm just not. Yeah, it's too far. Now I take the train and I get that anticipation of going into the city, which is a fun ride. Yeah, it's a fun feeling coming in. And then you get dropped off right downtown.
Starting point is 01:32:22 If you don't have a lot to do right away, you can just, like, I'll just go find a place to get a drink and I'll be like, yeah, you know, if you want to come pick me up, pick me up. Otherwise, I'll just, I'll get an Uber to your house. You'll figure it out. You walk up to 16th Street. Very reasonable from downtown. You check everything out.

You rarely meet people from denver who don't live up to the hype yeah you know what i mean like those guys crush uh all the bars are great there used to be like more after hours shit like there used to be the speakeasy called rons that we would go to i went to that one yeah oh yeah like a weird knock and shit like that yeah

But when you get to go just get your own burrito. Decide what it is. You're like, yeah, I didn't want onions. You get sick of pizza halfway through the weekend. Yes. I mean, you eat it. Physically and mentally sick of it.
Starting point is 01:36:18 Yeah. Like, I love both of these. Denver and Portland, I love these pizzas, but I will never just go to Sizzle Pie now. Right. And I'll never just go to Sizzle Pie now. Right. And I'll never just go to Sexy Pizza again. Whenever you just go to Sizzle Pie, you know that you're on one because you're like, I'm just – I got to go. What am I doing here? I got to go there.
Starting point is 01:36:33 I was there on Saturday night. That's funny. All right, David. So Denver with your third pick and because of the Serpentine Order of the Draft, you also get to make your fourth pick now. Oh, that's right. I didn't think about that. David and I are a couple dummies. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:49 We forgot right away. I got to consult this list that I got. Hold on. Because I don't know. I didn't know the order. It gets a little tougher up here. It gets, because there's, oh, yeah, I know. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:37:01 Omaha, Nebraska. Ooh, Chrome-domaha. Chrome-domaha. We're going to bump heads on this one. You don't like Omaha? I have had some rough experiences in Omaha. You sell me. Sell me.
Starting point is 01:37:14 Pitch me. Because here's what I like about it. Let's sit down. I want you to give me an elevator pitch on Omaha real quick. Yeah. I don't like you crossing your legs like that. I crossed them towards you. John just put on a very. Yeah, I don't like you crossing your legs like that. I crossed them towards you. Sean just put on a very...
Starting point is 01:37:25 Yeah, yo. The whole... Your whole body language got... The whole demeanor is different now other than that I'm still smiling. Mad aggressive all of a sudden. Crossfire body language. Your eyes aren't even smiling. Just your mouth is smiling.
Starting point is 01:37:36 That shit didn't travel off. Sean's doing knuckle push-ups. Yeah. I don't know if you guys can tell, but Sean is taking his shirt off. I'm taking that as an act of aggression. Chewing on glass, dude. I've never been to Omaha, so I can't comment. Sell us on Omaha.
Starting point is 01:37:51 Omaha is such a, it's like, here's what I like about Omaha. Omaha is a major city, but there are not a lot of people there. So it's like partying in your favorite major city when nobody's around like you know when everybody goes to coachella and la and it just feels kind of ghost town it feels empty that's yeah and that's how it is in san francisco when everybody goes to burning man that's what omaha is like all the time ghost town ghost townie and it's so it's like it feels like the warriors yeah on the street i like sometimes we. I like some times where I'm the only motherfucker up right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Just walking in the middle of the street. I like that too, yeah. It's really a cool feeling, especially like, yeah, you do a show. You go to a barcade or something like that. A lot of kickball went down there. Yeah. California tacos. They got a Slurpee machine full of salsa.
Starting point is 01:38:46 What? Word. That's a great idea. Why would anyone else do that? When you see it, you're like, of course. Yeah. Like, it's the spinning thing, and you pull the thing down, and salsa comes in your cup. Cold salsa?
Starting point is 01:38:58 Keeps it chilled. That's such a good fucking idea. They got Culver's. That Butter Burger? What is the Butter Burger? Is there good fucking idea. They got Culver's. That Butter Burger. What is the Butter Burger? Is there not? No. They're not.
Starting point is 01:39:08 There's not a lot of Culver's, man. It's like a burger. It's got some butter on it. Jack in the Box is trying to do it, but they're fucking blowing it. They're blowing it. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got a little butter on it.
Starting point is 01:39:19 And it's like, and the neighborhoods are cool. There's like, cool. There's a lot of weird. I went to this store, it was like a knick-knack store, and all it was was, you could tell, it was just this old guy's shit. Yeah. It was just, there was a dude in the back, covered by a bunch, like, surrounded by a bunch of broken TVs, and then it was just all his life's shit that you could sort through
Starting point is 01:39:37 and buy. It's sure. It's cheap. It seems like Omaha's a city that doesn't know it's dope yet, or it doesn't know that people like going there. They're figuring it out. Well, they had like, they had a slight blow up with all that saddle rock music shit yeah but i think it didn't like it still didn't crack off the way they thought it would because it's still like omaha it's only
Starting point is 01:39:54 gonna get so big because it's close to denver you know what i mean so denver's the bigger city always gonna be yep so omaha is like a close second and it's like everybody you meet there is so stoked to be there. Sometimes you go to New York or something, they're like, whatever, I was born in Manhattan. With that weird fucking accent they have. But you go to Omaha and everybody's like, bro, I'm from shit splat Iowa. I'm so happy to be here. This place fucking rules.
Starting point is 01:40:21 I'm never leaving. You know what I mean? I don't want to know what happened to you. We just had – it's like – so it was between Minneapolis and Omaha. Sioux Falls is right in the middle. So we would – sometimes we'd go to Omaha and sometimes we'd go to Minneapolis. And Omaha just wasn't quite Minneapolis. So it's not a fair comparison.
Starting point is 01:40:39 That is – that's harsh because it's like, yeah. Yeah. So I wasn't doing it. We have had some really – like Omaha, we used to go to these skate contests and we would just like win. And it was super cool. Like coming into this big city and win. Oh, he dominated. We used to go down there, dominate, come home, and I took your bitch.
Starting point is 01:40:58 Like I didn't mean that. But also it does another place where it feels like everybody could get laid. Because all cities don't have that. Not every place feels like everybody's going to get laid. In Los Angeles it feels impossible. Yeah. Does anybody have sex out here? You don't even meet anyone. Yeah, I don't get it.
Starting point is 01:41:15 Everyone has these amazing bodies and they're doing nothing with them. Omaha is a very. And you got to tell people. You got to like. In LA you got to like say what you've done. Like it all sprinkles into conversation out here. Yeah. Like people like force that shit out of you.
Starting point is 01:41:29 You know what I mean? But in Omaha, it's just like, hey, man. I'm cornbread fed. You're cornbread fed. They have – it is like if you take a weekend in Omaha, they have – if like if you do it right, you go to the College World Series, which is fun. Yeah. The zoo is off the meat rack in Omaha. I didn't even know that.
Starting point is 01:41:47 Omaha Zoo is so dope. And it's another one of those things, too. We just did a comedy festival there. And it's kind of like Sioux Falls in that sense. Or just a small Midwestern city where people are very appreciative when things come to town. Yeah. This comedy festival, there was one venue. And all the shows were fantastic.
Starting point is 01:42:03 Did you do Krom? Yeah. I did the second and third one. We had... I got to do that. Krom is fun. There was like five Lyft drivers in town. It was pretty new to them.
Starting point is 01:42:13 So just the one Lyft driver kept taking us to and from the after party. And he was just like a shuttle. It was fucking hilarious. What was the one venue? I forget. Some place by a stadium kind of on the outskirts. Yeah, Gigantic Room. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:26 They had a wrestling match there. Yeah, that's where they did it before, too. That place was great. Yeah. I met this couple there, this gay couple. We ended up getting nearly blackout. And they were like the same kind of story. They were like, I'm from Dinkle Dink, Oklahoma.
Starting point is 01:42:42 I'm from, you know what I mean? But touch Alaska. And we moved here because at least here we can be in love. Interracial gay club. Doing it big. Sure. Doing it real big. Oh, nasty.
Starting point is 01:42:56 Interracial gay club? An interracial gay couple. Oh, gay couple. That would be the craziest club. I want to start an interracial gay nightclub. In Omaha, Nebraska. I call it Patches. And it's would be the craziest club. I want to start an interracial gay nightclub. Dude, in Omaha, Nebraska. I call it Patches. And it's so sweet.
Starting point is 01:43:07 Patches. I don't know why. It's the quilt because it's like a patchwork quilt. How to make an American quilt but like a bonin'. Before Gangland, they had an MTV True Life on gangs in Omaha. Really? I remember vividly there was this dude uh on the show his name was m dog and he was wearing all white white with a white rag over his face and he was holding the mac 10 and i was like
Starting point is 01:43:31 omaha's fucking scary like that when i was those shows are really good at that though because if you i watched one on ogden utah one time yeah they'll make fucking anywhere there's a portland one yeah yeah yeah like the portland one is so funny because it's about dog fighting and it was like a little strip like it was like one apartment complex yeah north on alberta and they're like yeah that's pretty buck that wasn't that's not a gang that was four crazy dudes who happened to know each other family is like yeah a bunch of people moved from la to this apartment complex and also it was about a dog fighting ring it was it was barely about gangs it was just this dude is running illegal dog fights that's pretty that's pretty hardcore though that's super hardcore i've always wanted to see a cock fight
Starting point is 01:44:12 i i could watch one we were i don't think i could i don't think i could watch a dog fight i couldn't watch a dog just i swear we just talked about this the other night fighting well i was like i used to watch them on youtube could you watch a dog fight like i i think i asked Ian how much money would it take for you to watch a dog fight. And he goes, I don't – I couldn't. I don't think. I wouldn't be into it. It's so brutal, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:33 Yeah. Omaha. Omaha. You guys want to fight some dogs. That's what we're coding language here. It's going down in Omaha. It's a reasonable – I like a city where it's reasonable to get from the airport too. Like it takes maybe five minutes to get to the airport from downtown.
Starting point is 01:44:48 Yeah, it's close to the airport. Very, very reasonable. Everything is on Dodge – like Dodge Street is the center of everything, which is nice. So they got a dope street. They got like cool people, unpretentious people. And it's empty. Good food. That's what I like.
Starting point is 01:45:00 It's like so low key. Like I've never been – and maybe this is just the wrong, or when I go there, but like even, I've never been somewhere that's packed. Yeah. And when it is packed, it's the best. Like, did you ever go to Olivers? Yeah. That was where we had the part, that was like the one bar where they would have the parties.
Starting point is 01:45:18 That was the place they sold us beer as they were closing. Oh yeah. Which is such a cool Omaha thing. Yeah, that spot is fantastic. Like, hey, you guys want any beer? They'd sell us a six pack of beer and they sold it to Oh, yeah. Which is such a cool Omaha thing. Yeah, that spot is fantastic. Like, hey, you guys want any beer? They'd sell us a six-pack of beer, and they sold it to, like, 13 of us, you know? I met a dude at Olivers with a panther tattoo, like, on, like, it wasn't on his face.

Starting point is 01:56:08 Just a weekend. Not – I mean if you're in that, not hating on it. As I said earlier, you got to love where you're from. But like I cannot imagine living in Deadwood. I just cannot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's a lot of places. Oh, shit.

I've only been to Philly once, and it wasilly oh philly philly was on my list it's i've only been to philly once and it was philly's kiss was on my list it was it was so um just the feel like again one of those cities where it's easy to get from the airport to downtown right and right when i got out at downtown it was just it just feels like such an amazing city really i love it dude yeah i mean you know back in school i used to dream about it every day. So I was there for a friend's wedding, and we were in the fountain. So like you look down the street, and there's the rocky stairs, and there's a fountain.
Starting point is 01:57:14 Not Love Park, but the other big fountain. We were in the fountain in our underwear, like probably 20 of us drinking bottles of wine, causing a ruckus. Like a ruckus. And cops just driving by like ah look at them yeah oh that's because we weren't doing anything in philadelphia that wrong we were just drinking we were drinking wine you know like we're in the 40s yeah i think we're drinking they're like oh they got wine no big philly's full of fucking idiots but like that's the idiots know how to party for the most part it's do party good yeah it was i asked the person at the hotel i was like

Starting point is 01:58:35 i tried them both so what are the two places you can do pats and gino's yeah and wit whiz you do it at both places or you can get a Provolone. Like, they both have the full armada of options. There's not much of a difference as far as I could tell. They were both dope. Water Ice. People shit their pants. They're like, you got to try Water Ice.
Starting point is 01:58:56 All it is is shaved ice. Yeah. People talk about it like it's going to change the fucking game. And you're like, yeah, I mean, it's a snow cone, dog. I've been to a fair. But they're like, oh, haven't had water ice i'm like yeah i have i've had people don't want tiger blood we called it people don't want to think you've maybe had a better thing than they make sure no yeah yeah i love the glint in someone's eye when they're dropping something on you and you're like i i've had it that's right no you haven't i was in buffalo
Starting point is 01:59:24 and they're like you got gotta get a beef weck sandwich you can only get it in Buffalo it's a fucking french dip I've had great french dip I can hook up a french dip at home dude exactly you can make a french dip at home I don't need to try your specific kind of french dip
Starting point is 01:59:40 I was good I love the idea of it's okay to dip our sandwich yeah we have but we have that other places yeah it's not like yeah i get that philly's a fun philly philly's a great day too because the city's so full of history it's huge well it is huge which is huge but like the old philly's small and it's very walkable like so you can walk all right you can like walk from the Liberty Bell to, like, where Benjamin Franklin lived. And, like, all this stuff is kind of in the same area. And we went. We took a bus.
Starting point is 02:00:11 It was my friend's wedding. We took a party bus. And his ex-wife's family is Philly born and raised, like, to the core. So we get on this party bus, and they took us to, like, a Philly neighborhood. With it, you would see in, in like the fighter or something like that. And it was so, it was so cool. Just walking around.
Starting point is 02:00:29 It's just like, you would see you're like, you're just like, there's house, house, house, house, corner bar.
Starting point is 02:00:34 Let's all go in the corner bar. And it's lit up like a little bit too much. Fish town or something. It was, oh, it was a blast, dude. And just walking around it,
Starting point is 02:00:41 just that feel that East coast feel that it's, it's hard to get that in New York because it's so big. New York's just so big. In Philly, you can still find that neighborhood stuff that you hear about. It seems to me Philly feels like people live there. It does. When I'm in New York, it doesn't feel like anybody lives there. Yeah, you're like, where the fuck is your apartment?
Starting point is 02:01:00 People fucking live in Philly, yeah. I mean, the sandwiches are great. Really fun bars. They have fun after-hour bars. I remember I was there once, and I ended up at this after-hour bar that was for journalists and for some reason, a bunch of comedians were there, too. Weird. But it was this place you would go after the bars closed.
Starting point is 02:01:18 It was great, man. Yeah. Philly is a dope city. That's your final pick? That is my final pick. Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Philadelphia Half-Life. It's time final pick? That is my final pick. Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Philadelphia Half-Life.
Starting point is 02:01:26 It's time for me to go to my final pick. Let's hear it, dog. I can't believe I get it. I know I'm going – like I usually like to have like an out of left field pick and I had a couple I thought about but I'm going to go with Chicago. I got to go with the Chi. That's a good move. Chi City, dude.
Starting point is 02:01:40 I got nothing against that. Fucking – Get some hot beef. Dude, get some hot beef. Get some hot dogs, get a deep dish pizza. Oh, man. All that shit. Press your face on the glass. I love a hot Italian beef, though.
Starting point is 02:01:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah. More than yet, right? The Willis Tower, now they call it. Sure. To Wrigleyville. Wrigleyville, yeah. Yeah. There's that bean, whatever that crazy reflective thing in that park.
Starting point is 02:02:03 The Married With Children fountain. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But more than anything, the bars don't close until 4, and everybody there celebrates that. It's an Illinois thing. But it's not every bar, right? Maybe it's not every, but a lot of bars.
Starting point is 02:02:18 From what I remember, there's a couple in every neighborhood, but not all bars are 4 a.m. I think that's true. I don't think they all close at 4 a.m. And then some open back up. Like they have this weird system where a lot will stay open until 4 and the ones that don't open at 6. So like you just have to find time to kill between 4 and 6 in the morning. Other than that, you can just be in a bar the whole time.
Starting point is 02:02:38 Yeah. I'm blowing it so hard right now, but there is a bar across the street from Second City where there was a stand-up comedy club that had performed there. There's a bar across the street from it. Up? Up is the club. Up is the comedy club. The bar is, like, covered in all these crazy paintings. There was one at Hannibal, too.
Starting point is 02:02:59 That was an art museum that you snuck a 40 into. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that the show Cable Car? No. What was it called? What's the show? Cable Car? Is that what it is? I have no idea. Like Kenny DeForest used to run it? I don't think there was a show there. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:03:15 But it's like covered in paint. There's like a painting of Rod Blagojevich in there, like naked. There's like a naked painting of Sarah Palin holding a gun. They're not good paintings, but the bar is covered in them and they have this this jukebox that like only has jazz and blues music in it it was just like it was the a bar that felt the most like a bar that i've ever been in in my entire life and i'm so bad with names i can't believe i'm blanking on the name chicago feels like America to me. Yeah. It's a very, like, everything you kind of want is there for it to be a real American city.
Starting point is 02:03:51 Chicago is such an underrated city. Which is fun. Yeah. It's huge. I mean, the death, it wasn't fun. But, like, you know, just the vibe of the history is fun. But it's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:02 It's like a huge city, but you can also, there's parts of it you can walk around. And they got the L train, which is like pretty reliable. My favorite movie in the world was set there, High Fidelity. That's your favorite movie in the world? My favorite movie ever made. First. Top. Top of the list.
Starting point is 02:04:17 Do you like the book too? A whole nother podcast. Yeah. I love the book. The book was very different. I'm finding out the name of this book. Yeah. Your boys, Linkin Park, are from there? I think there is a Linkin Park. I don't know. the book the boy was very different i'm finding out the name of this um yeah the uh your boys
Starting point is 02:04:25 lincoln park are from there i think there is a are they from park i don't know i think they're from la are they yeah that's what yeah they're from lincoln park lincoln park la i didn't know town ale house is the name of the old town ale house wait lincoln park that's your boys no what how did that get twisted he said said your boys Linkin Park. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I do love all their music, but we're not friends. No, no. I meant.
Starting point is 02:04:53 It's just the respect of the art. You're a big fan of Mike Shinoda. I like Mike Shinoda. I saw his music. Is he the one who did Fort Minor too? Yeah. There were some good Fort Minor songs. There were good Remember the Name the name yes that's a great
Starting point is 02:05:06 song i've never heard of fort minor dude is that another where'd you go i miss you so and then rap i don't know sing the whole thing since you sing the whole song right now acapella feels like you've been gone a while feels like you've been gone a while shinoda was all right dude he was he just never had the proper vehicle to display the bars no i there was uh that there i could see how lincoln park people would like lincoln park though i do too yeah it's go it goes hard it's anyway i feel that same way about chicago yeah They're not from Chicago. Yeah. So in summation, now I like Chicago more. The Art Institute of Chicago is fucking one of the maybe – I've been to – I love going to museums, art museums, and it's one of the best art museums I've ever been to. I've been to like the Louvre and the Tate and everything in New York and San Francisco.
Starting point is 02:05:58 And this shit is like so good. It's big and they have – but like they have like American Gothic is there with the two farmers next to each other. Oh, that'd be tight. The Nighthawk is there. You just see these amazing fucking paintings. So that's a fun afternoon. I went to Chicago. I went in BB King's bar or whatever that he owns.
Starting point is 02:06:17 And we were there at like three getting drunk. And there was just some guy just ripping it off the guitar. That's what I'm saying, dude. The music is great. Yeah, it's so great. And the people that, it's like kind of the, I mean, a similar thread through all of my pics are these cities where the people who, you know, live there love those cities. Yeah, they live in Dunlop.
Starting point is 02:06:33 Like, people, all the comedians who are from Chicago fucking love Chicago, right? They roll deep, too. Even out here, they're all hanging out together. Exactly. That's great. That's fantastic. Like, Chicago guys, like, love, and they talk about Chicago. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:46 And they drink a lot of beer i fucking i don't know any people from chicago who i'm bummed about knowing them yeah i'm like stoked about most and they can all go pretty hard like bronger who's from portland and we go bronger and i both go hard for portland but bronger's go hard feels like it's from chicago i don't know how he does what he does one time in like 20 minutes yeah it was right after he shot that he shot his show and he was super stoked and we were at the bigfoot yeah he was like we were just talking and he was like oh come on i'll buy you some bricks you know and he gets all excited yeah and then like 30 minutes later it was like and then two chicago guys came, like him, and then James Fritz came up and somebody else from Chicago.

Chicago's happy drunks. And like the Onion is there. if you're like in with any of them or the av club it's fun for a day it's just great man it's just an important great it's just there's shit to do every night it's a real city it's a real real big public transportation train lines that's yeah
