I had like a true meltdown crash out moment where I stole a golf card, took off across the golf course,
and I hit up in a tree for hours while the entire tournament looked for me.
Welcome to Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect, A Wave Original.
I'm Garrett.
I'm Spark.
I'm Coates.
Yes, everyone knows big boy codes.
That's good.
Back for another week.
Here we are.
Back in the saddle.
Yeah.
You cleaned up today.
dude. Yeah, we got a board meeting.
Yeah. You dress up for the board meeting.
Just every once in a while because it's not what you do today, it's what you do tomorrow that matters.
Wow. Yeah, trust for the job you want, not the job you have. That's inspirational, Jones.
You always live for the present. I don't live for the future. Really? You never, you're not guaranteed another breath, dude.
That's a good point. Yeah, see, I think you got to rethink your saying. So why Sana?
Oh, because I just needed a good sweat out. Got it. But hey, as always, you can watch or listen to the podcast on the app. There's a watchathon happening.
Yep. So earn those rewards for consecutive days watch.
Wow.
And like we've mentioned, the last couple pods, we're going on tour.
Next summer, the big announcement's coming with the exact dates and pre-sell for tickets.
I'm hoping Santa brings me tour tickets.
I don't know if I've been a good boy.
Only you can answer.
I know.
I'm right on that.
He got six months left.
I'm right on that 2.0 grade point average.
Yeah. That's good.
I'm either ineligible or not.
It's so good.
I guess we'll find out.
But to celebrate the NFL's Europe games,
we're going to do a little taste test,
German and Spanish snacks.
For real.
I'm not a big German food guy,
to be completely honest with you.
I'm glad we're tasting and not speaking German or Spanish.
You don't like a hot dog.
Now that you say that, if that's German,
I'm all in on German food.
Bratwurst.
And we're going to look at some amazing fan-submitted
Almost Athlete video.
Later, we're going to get an interview
with the one and only.
Glenn Powell.
Well, one and only.
And we brought back Jackson with his new roommate, another Gen Zier, Graham.
And they're going to teach us a little lingo slang.
Cool. A lot on tap then.
Supposedly, you know, we might have motion is what they say, Sparks.
So let's get to it.
The NFL has taken over Europe this season with seven games total.
That's about five too many, if you're asking me.
First, how do we feel about the international games?
I always forget it's happening.
It really affects my fantasy lineup, and I'm scrambling.
I have a loss because I was playing Corey.
8.30 kick didn't look at my lineup,
and I forgot to sub-out Jalen for Gainwell.
That was 30 points I left on the table.
Because if you're like me in codes and you're American,
the only thing happening before 10 a.m. on a Sunday?
Premier League.
Premier League.
Well, Church as well.
Yes, but Premier League Sport.
Right.
Because city...
They get the Sunday games.
Well, because they play in every cup to the end of, you know, and they're always
on that, to get the extra day arrest or on the Sunday game.
It's true.
Man United, see, we're early 6.30 Saturday morning, and then Burnley's at 9.
I will say this.
I do think it's an unfair advantage from just like a...
For the traveling sides.
The Cowboys are extremely lucky in the since they don't have to go across the pond.
Dude, they've never had to have they?
That's earned.
Me and you are off that Disney World Record video.
lag, mine was a week. Yours was north of a week, I think, until you got fully back.
Oh, if I'm a left guard, I'm giving up six sacks after a jet lag. Exactly. I don't think you
have to worry about being a left guard. I don't think it's that different going from like Jacksonville
to Europe as it is to go from L.A. to New York. No, it's not. It's similar. It is similar. So let's
just all calm down a little bit. Fair. Yeah, I guess you make a good point there.
It is similar. Tell that to the Jaguars, though. Go to London every single year.
Don't be the Jaguars. Multiple times a year. Multiple times a year. They get it bad.
And it counts as like one of their home games.
I'm a foodie, and we've got food here, and we're still talking.
Yeah, let's do a little foodie.
Thank you.
Good transition, dude.
Since the NFL went to Berlin, we'll start with the German side of things.
Cody, you are a taste test champion on over time.
French fries.
Well, French fries, pizza.
Don't say yourself short.
You were almost too good at pizza.
It's true.
So as a residential taste test guy, I feel like it's only fitting that you kind of grade these as we go along.
Here's the tough thing.
I've never found a food that I didn't like.
I have. Really, sourcrow?
It's a problem at home.
Sourcrow, on a hot dog, I'm fine.
I'm not going to eat a plane.
I mean, he's to the point.
He's like, maybe going to eat his third child.
Dude, I legit.
We went to Germany for the Champions League.
We did.
It was a really cool time.
Well, not actually cool.
It was hot because they don't believe in centralized air conditioning,
which still amazes me.
The potential they have over there in Germany.
Just put some AC in.
My life would have been so much better.
I came home thinking negatively
because no still water, no centralized AC.
You go to Colorado, there's not a lot of...
I was tired of the sausages.
I got tired of the sausages.
Yeah, but sausage overload, wasn't it?
I never figured you for a guy who gets tired of sausages.
You go to Germany, you'll rethink that.
You weren't on that trip.
You were.
You were synonymous with sausages in my mind.
That's...
You don't want to be the guy synonymous with sausage.
Can I just have a kinder schlach babangangung?
Whatever you hire, if you say that?
What?
Which one's that?
Can we speak German?
I'm just for eating.
Kinder?
Shkobobons.
The Shoko Bonds?
Man, try reading the back of that.
Doesn't make any sense to me.
Give me one of them.
This looks like maybe a coconut inside chocolate.
An almond joy, a blue almond joy, if you will.
German chocolate is good.
Kinder is a German word for children.
That is fantastic.
It's nice.
I take everything back I said about you, Germany.
Great food.
Hamburger.
Is that part of their thing over there?
I think.
Man, that's phenomenal.
Good start?
Very good.
What's the American player cop?
I see, I don't like American chocolate.
Milk dud?
Okay.
Yeah, milk duds.
Yeah.
These are better than milk duds to me.
Yeah, I agree.
Not as heavy on the teeth.
So we're one for one, though.
Yeah, let me make sure.
It's a milk chocolate bite with hazelnut filling.
I have no idea what hazelnut is.
But it's fantastic.
It's really good.
Yeah, like you'd get them in your Easter basket.
No.
Mm.
Pretty good.
That's good.
All right, moving on.
I'm guessing this is pronounced
Knopper.
Oh yes.
Storknoppers, dude?
Knopper?
Am I come from the Lopper family?
Is that layered?
That looks like that's going to be nice.
Did you just pick sweets from Germany?
You didn't go with like some...
Oh, Cody was on set today.
Oh, wow.
This looks like a smore meat.
It passes the smell test.
Give it a little sniffy.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I'm buying these.
What are these?
Knoppers?
Yeah, I'm in.
Bro.
That's real good.
Man, who knew?
Dude, a little salty and sweet action.
That's really good.
Oh, that's phenomenal.
Can I check the rest of those home?
Absolutely.
This is better than the kinder Shkoboban's.
Third up, we're going with the Mercy Petites.
Wow.
Is that how you would describe that?
I don't even know.
Stork Knopper.
That might be my favorite thing I've ever eaten.
That's really good.
So this looks like white chocolate on top,
a darker chocolate on the bottom.
But it's coffee cream.
Mm.
Corey would love that.
Corey loves coffee flavored things.
I like coffee flavored things.
Like I'd have 10 of those.
That's not what I'm seeking out.
No.
First and foremost.
I put this.
But if I like this, I would say this is like your,
your Tootsie roll.
And that thing is just so much better than a Tootty roll.
Tootsie roll?
Tutsi roll?
Tutsi roll?
I would say this one.
Tutsi?
Tutsi?
I would say this one is like a
German grandmother's favorite.
You know, how they kind of have the outdated
candy bowl at least. Dude, you drop one of those.
My grandparents did. That'd be good.
Yeah, you can miss me with that one.
Yeah, that was their one at the bottom.
Yeah, it was good, not great. Let's go soda pop.
I don't, I've had a fanta. Do I actually
have to drink this? Well, this is a different fanta.
Yeah, it's not. Yeah, oh, their fantas are
different, dude. They're not. Yep.
Like, these are actually
orange. Yeah, this is probably
just squeezed oranges.
I wouldn't love some more carbon in there.
Yeah, there was a much of it.
Listen to it.
It's not cold.
Fanta is actually short for fantasy,
the German word for imagination.
Oh, see, and they also do this.
I'm trying to...
That's the worst soda pop-up.
I'm trying to rip that away.
They do it as like,
you never lose your cap.
Yeah, I don't like that.
I don't need the leash for my cap.
In fact, it makes it really hard to put back on.
The leash.
I think American Fanta is better than that.
Or is it the same thing.
Probably the same.
Oh, mm-mm.
This guy's nuts.
Definitely different.
Less Carbo, more orangeo.
Yeah, America wins on this.
I'm going back to the well.
I'm about to go to a knopper, dude.
These knoppers were legit.
Spark, there's only one more.
No, we got a whole in the pack of knoppers, brother.
Good, I'm taking this home.
Once you knob, you can't stop.
That's what they say over to Germany.
That doesn't even rhyme.
That's what they say.
Ooh, I shouldn't put that on the German flag, should I?
Greatest German of all time.
Let's go ahead and announce it.
We already know who it is.
Dirk.
Yeah, okay.
God, you're reading my mind there.
I'm going to dip into the fish sticks.
usually I like my fish sticks pre-heated by about 425 degrees in oven
Those are fish sticks?
Fish sticks
No
Do what we're calling them
They're free to be the first one to try it
Yeah, I will
You might speak fluent German after a couple of those
You might be driving a Volkswagen next week, Gare
What's your favorite German-made car
Volkswagen?
Yeah
No, Mercedes
BMW I think is also German, is it not?
Mercedes
A little out of my fighting glass.
These are fantastic.
Did they taste like fish?
I'm a chip guy.
Salmon?
Tuna?
No, they're like Cheetos.
I'm a fry guy.
Hmm.
So this is like a counter.
No, it's like a barbecue chip.
Oh, these are like hot fries.
Yeah.
Yeah, they got the little pepper on the front.
Those are unbelievable.
Oh, good crunch.
Those are unbelievable.
You can hear that crunch upstairs.
It can you buy in America.
You pop the tin off.
But they added little barbecue.
A pringle?
No.
Pop the top and they're like the skinny chips.
What are they called?
Oh, I know what you're talking about.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Potato sticks.
Sour cream and onion.
Oh, potato sticks.
Yeah, the blue bottle.
No.
Yellow.
So this is pretty much just...
We pull up a picture of what Cody's talking about just so I...
Just type in potato sticks.
Yeah, potato sticks.
These are potato chips and stick form.
Yeah, a rib.
Yeah, those right there.
Yellow.
Yellow is the one I was thinking of.
The picnics?
Picnics.
But these are flavor.
I mean, I mean, all around,
when I was in Germany, I didn't have one of those things.
You did I.
See, and I think Germany is actually better when it's like a hot entree food,
not just like a snackage.
I could have survived a lot longer in Germany if I knew they had food like this.
I mean, dude, the hot dog, the wiener-snitzel.
Dude, I had pretzel.
I had a pretzel three times a day.
That's all I had.
I didn't like the sausages, man.
I'm telling you.
I didn't like them.
They weren't good.
It's on the ground.
In Germany, I struggled to find the food I wanted.
But if I would have had a Knopper, I would have lived off Knoppers.
You are nuts.
Right.
So how do we rank these boys?
What was your favorite German dish there?
Knopper.
Not even close.
It's a Nopper world.
I might go this number two.
I might go this too, and then I'm going, I like the coffee.
Oh.
Weird.
And then I like the hazelnut, and then you can give me, then you could still give me a sausage and then Fanta.
Wow.
Fanta was not good.
I'm pretty close to that.
That's a good ranking.
Okay, boys.
Well, the fun just started.
since the Washington commanders and Miami Dolphins are battling it out in Madrid, Spain.
I feel like it's only fair that we dip into some Spanish foods.
Quit hogging the fish sticks, brother, and let's have a Spanish party over here.
What are these?
Polvaronais.
Oh, this is a lot.
I don't know what this is.
I think this is going to be a pop-tart.
Yeah, it feels like a Pop-Tart from afar.
Nope.
Definitely not a Pop-Tart.
What are these?
It's like a sugar.
We should just call a cook.
The provolonez is doing it for me, boys.
That's cinnamon toast crunch on a cookie.
Soaked in Fana.
Why is it say orange?
Why is it provolone as orange?
You getting an orange kick there?
Yeah.
I'm getting a little citrusy kick at the end.
See, I don't like my sugar and my fruit combined.
Well, fruit is a natural sugar.
Is it?
I didn't know that.
But still, like, I don't want to get blindsided when I'm eating a shug cookie,
and all of a sudden it tastes like I'm eating an orange.
I'm trying to escape.
fruits and veggies. It's an educational show too, folks. It's just the blind side aspect of catching some orange taste down the stretch that didn't see coming. Like if they give you a cheesecake and they load it up with like raspberries and strawberries, like can we kill the fruit? It's dessert time. Exactly. I made my fruit for dessert. I didn't know what I'm saying. I didn't know it'd be ranking desserts from these two countries. Beautiful countries by the way.
Oh, these are goldfish. The Vidal's? No, these are gummy. Yeah, these are gummy. Oh, that's crazy. Oh,
They feel like...
It's like a...
You know those squish toys that you...
They're kind of popular?
Okay, wow.
Wow, Gerb.
Oh, they're spicy.
No.
Oh.
Oh, that is Spanish as it gets.
It's an orange gummy.
So think of like a gummy bear.
Dude, those are ripping spicy.
Meets jalapeno pepper in the middle.
But I can't take my...
I can't stop eating them.
The burn is honestly nice.
It's like firing my tongue up.
Again, I don't like that.
Don't spice up my candy.
I was not ready for that.
Made with yellow 5 and red 40.
Oh, darn.
You're dumb.
Why did you make me eat that?
I don't do that.
You ate a pack of Swedish fish yesterday.
Next.
All right.
Let's get that taste out of our mouth.
Should we go black truffle?
No.
No.
Gross.
A little potato chip.
Jamon abriko.
Dude, that was wicked.
I see, I don't like that.
The more time goes on, I didn't like that.
I feel like this thing could survive a hurricane.
That's...
What it puts the expiration date on a bag that carbonated, 2038?
Those things would be hanging around for a while without much air in it.
No, different flavor.
That's the black truffle.
This is a...
Oh, this is provolone.
Who opens a bag of chips like that?
That's how they're teared.
Oh!
Oh, that's powerful.
Oh, ho!
Talk to me.
Oh, boy, I just ate the worst thing I've ever had in my life.
Mine is like, oh.
Bro.
It's so potent?
Bro, I, I know.
Truffle fries.
No.
I'm okay.
No.
Bro, this is meat flavored, dude.
Meat flavor.
Yeah, what do you think it was?
There was meat on the package.
Oh.
No way.
No way.
You just maybe try it.
I knew that was a horrible idea.
Why?
That's horrible.
That's got like a fishy taste to it, dude.
You know what?
Try the truffle.
That's like truffle.
I like truffle.
I don't like truffle.
I hate truffle.
Dude, truffle fries are the worst.
They have dogs to go find truffle. That's like a rare
delicacy. Doesn't matter, but the fruit will get that taste
right out of my mouth. It even smells
fishy, dude. It's not fishy, dude. It's a truffle.
Well, I don't want it, dude. Why do you keep eating
them? They're good. You don't like trouble
fries? You're a country club kid.
I now understand. I now understand why
the scale keeps going up with you. Yeah, I don't
like it all. You chew now,
ask later. See that?
No, see, I'm a...
That's not how you open it, man.
cheddar cheese here.
Oh, that was horrible.
Oh, wow.
No, dude, you're, no.
See, now my mouth is cross-contaminated
with everything we do.
I can't even identify what I mean.
Sparks, I got you right here.
We're going straight to a piece of candy.
They're Mexican-produced, but extremely popular in Spain,
supposedly, the jovi revocaditas.
I would say I'm excited, but they're about to have,
like, an avocado taste.
Here's my take on Spanish food.
my grandfather, as he aged, lost his taste.
So he would have to put a gallon of salt,
a gallon of flavor on anything he was eating
just to have a hint of taste.
Oh, those looks.
Is there something with the Spanish palate
that they actually can't taste well?
Because this is, the amount of flavor packed in per bite
is insanity.
Sparks. Sparks. Is that true?
Just sniff it. Just sniff it. I just want you just sniff it.
Oh, dude, those are...
It is true. You are correct?
You think?
Yeah, and you just prove it with that candy.
That's the worst thing that's touched my taste bugs.
Alright, let me try it.
The Spanish like to spice up everything.
That's insane, but is it because they can't taste very well?
I can't believe it.
What is this?
Don't worry about it, brother.
I wouldn't do it.
You're about to go to level nine and a half.
Really?
I wouldn't do it.
I sniffed it.
I sniffed it.
What is it?
I wouldn't do it, dude.
I'm scared.
It looks like a strawberry.
Clear a sinus infection.
Okay.
I'm going for it.
Oh.
What is it?
Is it crawfish?
Ooh. It's chili.
It's like a warhead.
With chili on it. Oh, you ate it.
Oh, it's good when you open it.
You just got chewed up. It's like a warhead.
It's got a mango filling. You got to the mango part. That's nice.
It's like you gotta earn it. It's a warhead. You gotta get through the sour and then in the middle is a delicious, sugary delight.
It's nothing. It's basically a chili covered mango. Yeah, ain't nothing has touched the Knopper yet. The Knopper
Oh, they're pretty good. I might take those home.
I'm ready to cast my boat, boys.
I'm pro-German on this
when it comes to food. Did you think you were going to be
pro-German before you entered into this competition?
Because I did it. In fact, Agu'll actually
go a step further and say, I'm not even pro-German.
I'm just anti-Spanish food.
And just slightly
less anti-German food.
Oh, this is spicy, guys.
Oh, that's a...
It's made of an industrial cardboard?
I don't know. It's like rice paper and...
Oh, is it sugar or not?
Oh, my chip a tooth on that.
What's this one called?
El Almondro, crunchy almondaron.
It's like literally paper on the outside.
It's nasty.
Like eight and a half by 11.
Then, in the middle, it's very nutty.
I literally think German had that clean sweep.
Like, I don't think Spanish even cracked the top of it.
What kind of nut is that?
almond.
Really?
It's a very unanimous.
Very red almond.
We agree.
Across the board.
Across the board.
Oh, I don't know this guy
I mean, it all was pretty good
Of course it was good
Are you gonna eat yours? No, do you want it?
Yeah
Hey look
Santa
If you're
Once you're putting my stocking stuffers on
Fill me some noppers in there
I could use some noppers in the stocking
Cody will take those chili covered watermelon
Nastiness in his
And I'll take tour tickets
And you'll take tour tickets
That's fair trade
college football playoff tickets in his stocking stuffer.
Um, field level pass.
It's a good time to tell the listeners that if you've tried either of these German or Spanish
snacks, comment below.
Let us know what a dish you didn't like.
Because I'm, uh, all of these are pretty tough to handle.
You didn't even try the chips.
Get a, get a bite of the truffle.
No, I did the other truff.
You're peer pressuring me here.
You like it.
You know, I'm a kids menu kid.
It's the whole point of the segment.
Kids menu Kevin.
It's the bar.
I don't like it, dude.
even smells bad.
Well, yeah.
Dude, that's so bad.
You try a truffle.
No, absolutely not.
Sparky did it.
He's way bigger than you.
No.
Come on, do it for the pod.
Yeah, it's truffle.
Go.
Quick.
Dude.
It's like lobster.
It's rare.
It's lobster.
It's exactly what it is.
You'll never meet a guy
more anti-seafood than me.
Oh, my.
You do hate seafood.
Bro.
Bro, if you...
Truffle's delicious!
My wife...
I didn't try the beef ones.
If she ate some truffles
before I went in for a kiss,
I don't know if I could do it.
No, you can clear out a room.
I feel like a fire-breathing dragon right now.
That is like legitimately eating salami from a bag.
Garlet up salami.
It's so nasty.
No, I'm good, brother.
Thank you.
Why do you keep eating them, dude?
I need the calories.
You're gross, dude.
I'm thinning.
I now understand why everyone says America's the greatest country.
because of a couple snacks.
Nothing to do with the declaration,
all the freedoms we enjoy,
everything to do with the amount of fast food options we have
that are far superior to those.
That's our set, dude.
We're gonna have ants in our sled.
Spanish ants.
There's gonna be little German ants that migrate here.
The Spanish fruits eating your skin already.
Look at this.
Oh, I had a mosquito bite and I kept scratching it.
That's that red 40.
Dude.
Wow, dude, we have derailed, but that was funny.
Are we going to get into some videos, or what are we doing here?
We asked, and you listened, we asked you to submit your fan submission videos being an almost athlete,
and boy, did we get a bevy of videos coming our way, boys?
We've got five on tap for today.
And a reminder, if you want to submit a video, head to almostathletes.com.
The contact us page and submit your best almost athlete video.
We're going to look at five today, grade them one through 10.
and ultimately, as the years and months go by,
we're going to give somebody a trophy, man, for the almost-athlete moment.
All right, first up, Caden Culver.
That's up, Caden.
And we're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you.
We've all been here.
I wonder if he's on the black team or the white team.
Oh!
Kate!
Oh, and off the backboard, too, to make matters worse.
Oh, good bounce pass, honestly, by number 10 there.
Yeah, it wasn't, though, because number 10 had position to go up for the layup,
and he went with a pass.
Oh, how did that pass get up to his chin though?
So who's it on? Are we talking about number six?
Oh, it's got to be number six who eats the basketball and then hits the undercarriage of the backboard for a turnover.
What, he's just trying to save it?
Yeah, off his face.
I thought that's a pretty good play out of him.
He's not expecting a no-looker in seventh grade B-team basketball?
Play it again.
Play it again.
Can we see how this possession played out?
Oh!
I mean, that's how the possession played out.
played out. That's tough. I'm going to give this one a six for his number. I'm just watching the other
guys on the screen. I mean, they are so confused. They're like, what just happened, dude? Tickets to
middle school basketball games should skyrocket, man. You get to see some incredible things.
The best 12 to 11 games you'll ever see with this kind of stuff going on, I'm in. It would have been
better if he lost a tooth here. I'm assuming Caden didn't lose a tooth. Or broken nose. Yeah,
or a B nose. I agree with Cody. To me, it wasn't his fault.
He was reacting to a quick, sharp pass that was kind of unnecessary.
Yeah, sometimes your almost athlete moment isn't technically your fault.
You just get caught up in it.
What did it for me from a five to a sev is the fact he hit the underside of the backboard.
It makes it tough.
Yeah, but he's trying to save it.
He is.
He's given effort, but it ultimately came back to bite him.
Oh, no.
Jackson, I mean, Jackson's going to have a field day with that.
Oh, because we're six, seven.
Oh, no.
I'm tempted to change my.
That's better than three sixes, though.
Who knows?
Chill.
Good story.
Can we get an eraser?
It's such a low-budget show.
We don't even have an eraser.
Fum it.
No, I don't like getting my hands dirty.
Sausage guy.
I don't want to use his thumb.
That's what kind of eraser right there.
Let me know if you need an eraser.
You thumbed it?
Yeah, dude.
All right.
Let's not eat a Spanish snack.
It's going to have Expo.
Caden, Hope all as well, brother.
Thanks for the submission.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
It takes a lot of courage to submit your almost athlete moment.
You know?
Absolutely, dude.
I have no idea where August is going,
but just the still picture of the pole vault, Matt, here is...
August Mayberry.
What's a great name, by the way.
August Mayberry?
It could be Mabary.
Let's play it.
Man, this feels a little young to be doing it.
Oh, Polvovolt.
Pull vault.
He's going to get it in it.
Lanz it, sticks it.
Oh!
Oh, no.
He hit himself in the head.
It wasn't where I was expecting.
He missed the plant.
Dude, it's the sounds.
If you just close your eyes and listen to the sounds,
you can hear the all.
Almost athlete.
This guy had no intent of going up on that pole.
Watch.
August is taking a summer break here.
Right when he feels the tension, he lets go and just lets it hit his head.
He's like, nope, I'm not doing it.
Look, he lets go of it.
You're right.
I think it slides up a set.
It's not a 10.
You're calling out a self-service almost athlete here?
I'm going eight because he, that was a fake.
I'm not doing it.
A fake eight?
Seven.
Tell that to August.
It was better than Caden's because he got popped in the face pretty good there.
but I agree with you.
I think he bailed.
I think he was trying to bail.
Yeah.
I think he got scared.
He's at the 500 meter race after this,
and he's like, I don't want to be hurt.
I kind of want to watch the world burn.
I was hoping he'd go up before his almost athlete moment.
The fact it was ground level, six for me.
Okay.
That's two.
That's two.
That's two, six, seven.
Cool.
First name, too.
That made me laugh.
What we're looking at is bound to be gold.
We're in a,
we're on the high bars in the gym.
Hillary.
Hillary.
Blatherwick, high bars.
Play the video.
She's swinging.
Hillary is swinging.
Hillary is trying to go all the way.
Oh, Hillary.
Oh, a little slip grip.
They're too much laughing.
Maybe for an elite, almost athlete moment.
Here's what I think.
These places will rent out their gyms to birthday parties.
Look at that fall, though.
Did she folded.
Look at a lawn chair.
That is what folding like a lawn chair looks like.
You do that at our age.
That's three weeks of sore.
right there. I mean, she eats her kneecaps.
She eats her kneecaps.
That's a grade 5 hammy tear.
If that is a, if like that's,
she's in gym, like to try and get
better, that's a high number.
If this is just a birthday party, she's like,
oh, I want to see if I can do it.
It's not as, doesn't hold as much weight
when you have your almost athlete moment in a Chuckie cheese.
Do you agree? Yeah. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying instead
of an actual playing field.
I'll go nine.
Nine. She folded like a chair.
She did, but August. August was better.
You like August bail job?
It's a seven.
It's purely a seven.
Are we going to tie?
Okay.
A good range of numbers there.
All right.
All right.
Baseball, this should be good.
And we got Matthias Moore.
Coaches pitch.
We got Little League baseball.
Oh, no.
This is like beer league.
This is like adult.
That's a big boy.
No way he gets me.
His fingers are twerk.
Oh.
Yeah, that's it for me.
All righty.
That is so bad.
done that? That is so bad.
That's a tenor for me. That is an almost. You square
around a bunting and then you...
Look. And here's the deal. People
that don't play baseball think bunnings
the easiest thing. It's
not. It brings in this play.
It brings in the opportunity to
deflect it in your nose bone. I hope Matthias can still see
out of one eye because that looked
painful. It's funny you said that because when we talked to
Travis Jankowski at Ranger's
Spring Training, he said the most scared he ever was in his
life, squaring around to bunt against Eraldus Chapman.
I can completely understand why. As a guy
who had lost this tooth.
Yes.
Do you have a baseball?
Can you show us?
Can you take it out anymore?
No, I can't take it out anymore
because we spent thousands of dollars to get an implant.
We did or you did?
Well, on the company's behalf.
The money I earned through the company.
Messiah, that's,
can I watch that one more time?
One more time.
A little slow-mo when it makes contact, too.
I really want to see what happened here.
He was expecting, I think.
He's expecting a lower pitch.
It came high.
He bundled it up.
Well, see, this is what happens.
You don't stab it.
You got to catch it with your bat.
And look, he gets.
stabby with it, and he just barrels it right up to his face.
You could slow it down here, watch the ball come in.
It's where you just keep the hands back and catch it with your back.
I think that's a ball too.
I think that's high in the zone.
I don't even think that's a strike.
Oh, dude.
Did he go straight face or did it deflect?
No, it deflects off the bat.
That's what I'm saying.
See how he got stabby with the bat?
If he just lets it get to his barrel, he's fine.
It's the fact he went out and tried to need it.
Did it hit the helmet first?
I just hope it didn't hit his mouth.
As a guy who literally...
I can't see.
Look at the helmet.
Look at the helmet.
Go right off the bat here.
boom.
Boom to boom.
It does go helmet first.
Oh, dude, he might have got lucky.
That just hits Bill of the helmet.
No, no, I think it hits his.
No, it didn't.
Bill brought it to his nose, brother.
His nose is about to look like the Mississippi River.
But it wasn't a direct hit.
So to me, I'm taking off a point.
I still keep my 10.
That's nasty.
It's a bunt, too.
I already raised, so I got to...
You got to be able to lay down a bunt.
That's an almost athlete moment.
That is the definition of an almost athlete moment.
And I was there.
Like I said, my mom was.
personally putting us
last but not least
oh I'm excited
we have Benedict
Sturrick
we have one late edition
yeah
oh
yeah
yeah
breaking news
we might have
this is the
all name team
between August
and Matthias
and Benedict
these AI generated
people
they are
these are
these are
sure of videos
Oh no
break away
hey
I thought it was
going to be
the mistunk
yeah I thought
it's not
it's not a
dunk.
That's pretty funny.
The dunk is an almost-athlete moment, and then this guy...
Plenty it's not even close.
That's a double almost athlete moment.
Who's he going to?
There's no one even around.
He's just saving.
Dude, his players aren't even trying.
They're not like...
He's just saving it.
He's getting brownie points right in front of the bench going into the crowd.
The first kid, I mean, if you're attempting a dunk on a 10-foot goal in a live game
and you don't get, like, rim-stuffed.
Like, that's okay.
I'm cool with that.
I'd love for him to finish it.
Dude off two feet, too.
Yeah.
It just hurts when your almost athlete moment is set up by your teammates' incompetence.
Makes this kid look foolish.
Yeah, I agree.
It's a six for me.
So as of now, Matthias is in the lead, but we have a late edition.
Bonus clip.
Oh, the bone clip we're about to see from DPHQ2.
Is this from Sean?
This has to be Goose himself.
Editor Sean put on a show.
Watch this.
Swish, side backboard, rebound. Is he in bounds? I don't know. Traveled. All behind the backboard, over the tall. When will it end? That's real.
That's the craziest thing I've seen. And I'm scared to put that on the podcast because here's the deal.
It doesn't represent us. The dude has a girlfriend now. And he won't when she sees that.
She's out. He will never be in a squad games.
There's a rumor we actually had to move to DPHU3
because of this moment right here.
Look at that.
A flying Dutchman.
He contaminated the office.
Look how he saves it out of bounds.
Yeah, he goes from a flying Dutchman.
Okay, look, then the ball hits lines.
It's already out.
Then his feet are both out.
Look.
No, he saved it.
Oh, no.
He saved it.
Now he's out.
He saved that, dude.
A sidestepper.
A sidestep triple.
I don't even know what this hits.
It's behind the backboard
and somehow comes back to him.
Oh.
Out of the downs again
Dude, the fact that they were able to pull this clip
And look at G-lit
Just dancing in the bag
Just being like, dude, this guy is
Because they see this every day
Horrible
And this is why we have security cameras
Not for the trick shots
Just to watch full-blown incompetence
By goo himself
See, I don't think this was ever an almost athlete moment
This was just full-on non-athlete
It's prime Sean
Yeah
Like that's a tuba player
No offense to the tuba players
Like no way he played sports in
college, high school.
Two of the players have to carry a large instrument.
I'm going to go clarinet.
Yeah, it's quite true.
I can't give him the best almost athlete.
I want to.
I did. Employees don't count.
Well, the good news is employees are not eligible to win the prize.
Oh, then if that's the case.
The clips the clip.
Well, if he was eligible, we got a first ballot Hall of Famer right here in Goh.
I gave him an 11.
The fact he continued on is just what's incredible.
He knows.
Sean knows.
He has the self-awareness to know, hey, I am not a good hooper.
I think he doesn't realize how bad it was because he doesn't play a lot.
So in like his mind, that's just a regular day.
That's just like, I'm going to go shoot, sidebackboard, back at the backboard.
Oh, I missed everything.
Like, it's like nothing.
But do you think in his own head, Sean's thinking that he's James Harden?
Oh, dude, in his head, he's counting down to three, two, whew.
We've got to sell him.
As a really good friend of mine, Sean, you're not James Hardin, brother.
James Hardin's a crazy.
He's not Sean Bradley.
No, yeah.
Good thing the employees aren't eligible to win because that guy,
Yeah, what's G-Little doing in the bag?
Deserves a trophy.
He can't watch.
He can't even pick his head up and watch what's going on because it's so nasty.
Next up, a big-name guest, Glenn Powell, going to join the set.
And this room's only big enough for the three of us, Jones.
See you, bud.

Very pleased to be joined by Glenn Powell, who is the star of Running Man. Glenn. Very
talented, also very good looking, even through a monitor here. How do you do it, dude? What's the
secret? Man, you give me the tips, boys. What's going on? I mean, this can't be a compliment
off. We got to do something else here. Well, let's get right into it then. We're Aggies here.
Yep. I know you're a... All right. Now it stops. Now the comment. No, no, no. I'm very aware of y'all's
Aggie heritage. Congratulations on a great season, by the way. You're a diehard U.T. fan, you would say.
I am a diehard UDGYT fan.
You've got the Austin Connection.
They even played some lacrosse and football down there at Westwood.
Is that correct?
Yep, that's correct.
Between Westwood and West Lake, you know, Austin gets pretty difficult there.
But yeah, some lacrosse and football, we're obviously called Almost Athletes, our podcast.
Do you ever have a moment where you had an almost athlete moment where you quickly realized maybe sport in my thing and acting route was the better choice?
Yeah, you know what?
I have the best profession for being just athletic enough to be able to pull off these things,
but not athletic enough where my life would have taken me on a different path.
You know, I had this one thing when I was like really, really young.
I love golf, right?
So I grew up playing golf with my whole family's big golfers.
And I used to do like competitive golf tournaments when I was like, you know, 10, 11, 12, something like that.
And there was this one tournament in Austin where I was like playing.
for like the city championship.
I don't know if maybe it was at Lions or something like that,
but it was, of course, in Austin.
And I basically was like in the lead with like two holes ago.
So I'm on 17.
And I completely blew the lead, right?
Like just had one of those like epic meltdowns that like my entire game fell apart.
And I went from first to fourth in two holes.
And as they were giving me my not even a first place trophy,
a fourth place plaque.
I had like a true meltdown crash out moment
where I stole a golf cart,
took off across the golf course,
and I hit up in a tree for hours
while the entire tournament looked for me.
And I remember even like seconds
after getting up in this tree
and I like see people like below the tree
like be like, Glenn, glad, where are you, man?
And I'm literally sit up in this tree
and I'm like, I can't get down.
I think I live here now.
Like I'm not going anywhere.
I was like, you know, it's like I've come too far.
I'm in the tree for the next few days.
I'm going to be here for a while.
But that was like one of those moments where I was like,
you know, maybe I'm just not meant for competitive sports.
Maybe being an actor, competitive enough for me.
But, you know, maybe I would have crashed out if I went any higher.
I love that.
Yeah, fair to say, once you're hiding in the tree,
that's pretty almost-athlety.
That's about as almost-athlety as we've had.
But I'm not letting you off the hook too easily, Glenn,
with the Texas talk.
status of the 40 acres currently.
How are we feeling about the football team
currently going forward?
All things orange.
All things orange. Look, I mean, I got to say
we've had some nail biters
in the last couple weeks.
I mean, I've been at quite a few games.
It's one of the best parts about not working
right now during football season,
doing Chad Powers, you know, and doing Running Man
is I can actually build football
into my press schedule
and count it as work, which has been
awesome. But I got to say, you know, I love Sark. I think Sark is a hell of a coach. You know,
I think on both sides of the ball, I think Texas is really strong. I think it's been a bit of
a battle to kind of make those things sort of like be married together at the same time. But,
I mean, you've even seen, you know, I think the thing that makes Texas really special and the
reason why, you know, we still have a hell of a hell of a record is that, you know, when one side of
the ball is sort of having a slower game, you know, the other side picks it up. And you can see
on special teams like, you know, nibble it. Just, you know, on these like these crazy
punt returns, like these, these crucial moments, you know, Texas always seems to pull it out.
So we got some serious games, but I'm feeling really, I'm feeling really confident about,
you know, our postseason chances here.
Got a two-parter for you. One, on a level of one to McConaughey, where are we in Texas
his fandom and two, do you get the same treatment as old Matthew McConaughey? You get the
sidelines and the practice and all that? I mean, we all are talking about the minister of culture.
There's no higher title. I do not have a title. I do not have a parking spot.
The reality is I am a massive Texas fan. I have been born and raised in Austin, Texas.
I grew up there.
My grandparents went to Texas.
My parents, my cousins, sister.
It's like, so I bleed burnt orange.
And, you know, the happiest place you'll see me is in Austin, Texas at DKR.
But, you know, the reality is that, you know, I'm still earning my spot here, you know, on the sidelines.
You know, McConaughey's got locker room privileges.
He's got sideline privileges.
I'm just very happy being allowed in the stadium,
getting to bring my friends to experience games.
They're now letting me shoot the cannon, which is great.
So it's a game of inches, guys.
I'm slowly making my way there.
That's a big deal.
That is.
To be able to fire off the cannon.
I'm convinced that McConaughey is like two to three years away
from a fandom from getting snaps.
I'm thoroughly convinced he's going to find his way out on the football field eventually.
I'm the guys like fully toxic talking X's and O's at this point,
you know, at halftime.
which is wild.
So he's, the guy knows what he's talking about, though.
I mean, McConaughey loves it, you know,
and he's been amazing for the University of Texas
and amazing for the program.
And also, I mean, you know, it's even fun,
is like, you know, counting McConaughey as a pal now,
it's like, even like when I went to go do college game day,
you know, he's my first call,
just like when you're representing the University of Texas,
when you're sort of a little bit more out in front
rather than just sort of an anonymous fan
when you're sort of a little bit more, you know,
I'd say, you know, on the Jumbotron.
And, you know, he's a good guy to talk to about all that stuff.
And he's done it right.
He's been, he's been amazing.
He's a professor.
He's, he's as accomplished as they come.
They're, there are definitely a worse guys I could study from.
Would you say that he's kind of been a mentor in the acting space for you?
Or do you lean on him in that?
Matthew really believes in the long, you know, you've watched the trajectory of his career,
how many different, you know, detours that's kind of taken along the way.
I mean, he's covered, you know, all the bases.
He's worked with some of the great filmmakers.
But he's also like, you know,
Master of the rom-com genre.
There's a little, you can see,
there's probably a lot of connective tissue that you could find there.
But I find the best part about Matthew is sort of like the poetry he finds in all of it.
He doesn't force anything.
Matthew doesn't try to pretend like he has control over anything.
Because in this business, you just don't have control over a lot.
You know, all you can do is, you know, work hard, treat people well,
and just, you know, hope the ride takes you a long way.
So he's been good on that, you know,
just for kind of breathing through all the,
the unexpected detours.
Yeah, so you just got done filming Running Man,
and then you've also had some pretty big stunts in Top Gun.
Heard you actually got your pilots license for that movie.
Is that true?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when we were shooting Top Gun,
I mean, crews put together an entire flight program for all of us.
So we started in the extra 300.
Actually, we started the, we started in the Cessna and 172.
and then we went to X-300, then the L-39, and then the F-18.
And, you know, that was sort of building up G tolerance, right?
So, like, when you're actually in the F-18, the Gs are extremely heavy.
I mean, they'll make you pass out.
I put some of my friends in the back of F-18s, and it's just you go to sleep immediately.
It's just too much if you don't get your body used to it.
So after that, I mean, you're on the, you're on these military bases with the best pilots in the world who are able to do, you know, aerobatics and the most dynamic things, fly low,
level at, you know, the speed of sound. So it's hard not to become obsessed with aviation after
shooting something like Top Gun Mavericks. So, you know, I afterwards, I had so many F-18 hours,
you know, I was like, you know, like, what, we got to finish this thing out. And so, yeah,
during, during COVID was especially an amazing time to where, you know, how much of else was
happening in Hollywood. I had, I had nothing but time up in the air to just go, you know, fly to
Catalina for lunch or Santa Barbara, take my friends to Vegas. It was, it was great.
So now it's a little busier now.
You know, it's a little harder to stay current when I'm on the road all the time.
But it's fun when I, you know, I just got to put work down.
And now I'm starting to get back out there, which has been fun and get, you know, new ratings and all that stuff.
So it's been, it's been an amazing, it's very cathartic.
It's almost like meditation up there.
It's like when you have something that you can kind of focus on, you know, and do up there,
just go listen to some music and kind of find yourself in a new place out of a,
know where it's just, it's just amazing. Dude, I was blown away by some of the stunts. I saw you pull off,
obviously, with your sports background. How much do you credit your sports background and to be able
to pull off some of those stunts? And what's the scariest moment you've had on set?
I think the thing that I've learned from other buddies who have done action movies is that if you're
going to do an action movie, you know, even though it's choreography, right? You know, it's like,
on Chad Powers, like, even though I'm, I know the hit is coming.
you're still taking the hit, right?
Even though I know I'm falling off of something,
you know, when it's coming, or I'm getting yanked off something,
or something's colliding, or I'm taking a knee to the stomach.
It's like, you know it's coming.
It's still sucks, right?
So just because it's stunts doesn't mean there's no impact involved,
doesn't mean there's no pain involved.
And I think what you really want is the audience is really smart.
They can tell the difference between when something is CGI,
or you're using a double, or it's face.
and something when it's real.
And the guy that you're following,
the guy that you're cheering for in the movie
is actually taking those hits
and delivering those hits.
So it's something I wanted to do,
you know, from the get-go,
the people that I admire
kind of never take those shortcuts.
And I don't know how anybody does an action movie
and doesn't have any sort of athletic ability.
Like it would be pretty hard for me.
I mean, the amount of things
that you have to be thinking of any given time,
it's like running a play in football.
Right?
You know, it's like there's obviously
the execution, there's timing, your brain's sort of operating at a different level, but then there's
just sort of physical instinct. But, you know, if you're running down a hallway and things are
exploding around you on a certain cue, you know, and you're memorizing performance and you
have to hit a certain thing, you have to hit at a distance away from camera, you know, and you're
trying not to get hit or hurt, and sometimes things go off on timings that you're not expecting.
Like, there's a high degree of awareness and physical, the physical ability that, you're
I just don't know how you do it if you're not an athlete.
So, yeah, I was lucky I had that background.
Again, like, yeah, I'm still the guy that hides out in the tree.
You know, I'm never, I'm not, I'm not, not, not going pro, but it's enough, it's enough to get by.
Glenn, from two Texans to another, appreciate you, cowboy.
Best luck in the future.
Thank you for your time, dude, and congratulations on running, man.
Appreciate you guys.
Thank you guys, Texas forever.
All right, well, special welcome to Graham and Jackson.
is back for another episode.
Sorry, Sparks.
He worked his way into this one.
Yeah, I didn't get a text, an email, a slack,
a touch on the shoulder would have worked.
But I will say, new hair who dis?
Looks good, dude.
It added some years to you.
I needed it bad.
Is that a chain?
Sorry to interrupt you, Gares.
Is that a little chain, change?
It is.
Good for you.
Oh, bling.
Well, first of all, look at the fit on this kid, dude.
This guy just turned 21 today,
and he rocks the dad fit better than all of us.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, man. You're kind of entering your prime.
I should be dressing like this.
You think 21's where you enter your prime?
This is how I should.
What?
21's where you enter your prime?
I feel like you're out of that.
No, he's just an early arrivers when I'm making my point.
He's like, Wimbin, Wimbingiama.
He's a little ahead of his time.
This guy's so mature for his guy.
Yeah, he is mature.
Really?
I mean, look at the ball cap even.
Before we get into the Gen Z segment, we continue to hire just, you know, phenomenal people.
I do want to give a special shout out.
I agree.
This is not about you, Graham.
Oh, yeah.
I want to give a special shout out to our reception to Shanda.
She makes the best food I've ever, I've ever eaten, I think.
Homemade, right?
Homemade sourdough.
I don't know what these are, but it's like pumpkin, cinnamon, chocolate chip.
Incredible.
That's been one of the cons of the team expansion.
Has been just the in-your-face sweets that are available.
Currently, we celebrate each employee's birthday.
And it feels like we're a cookie cake or pumpkin spice lattes by the day at this point.
It's a dangerous.
Good Jones, man.
You know, he didn't wake up like that.
Yeah, but when you get it homemade, though, from Shanda, who?
Holy cow.
She came in clutch.
Shut out, Shanda.
I want to release a dad vest like this thing, though.
A little sweater action.
Put, like, a little DP in the corner there.
I rock that every day.
You can take a selfie in the mirror and submit that as you're almost athlete.
Oh, yeah.
You're screaming almost athlete.
But you also scream, like, honor.
3.8 GPA.
Well, that's what we need.
Now that you say that spark,
let's do a little intro in the gram.
You just turned 21.
You did just drop out of college.
Yeah, fresh drop out.
I did.
To pursue your ultimate dream
of being video production.
What is your ultimate dream?
Chad Terrell's job?
Yeah, I don't know.
I would like eventually to maybe direct some stuff.
Direct.
Teach, you know, bring up the next generation.
What would you say to the kids right now,
you know, because you were,
you were 12 years old like nine years ago
which is kind of crazy.
What would you say to a 12 year old about like
what you want to teach him?
Like is college the way?
You know, I'd say it really depends on the person
but like for Jackson and I.
Yeah.
College is a scam.
Oh wow.
I don't know if I can say that.
No, you can.
Heavy take.
That's heavy dude.
If you're a doctor, lawyer,
any like big thing like that,
definitely college for sure.
What about a trick-shot guy?
Trickshot guy, college is not the way.
But yeah, I mean, like college, I went there for a year, networked, did all the things I need to do, now I'm here, life's great, don't really need it, don't really need a degree.
The reason why we brought both of you guys on is because y'all just moved in together.
We're roommates.
Yeah, we did.
Kind of like college.
One would say that.
I mean, the way I kind of explain dude perfect to my friends, I don't know it, I'm like, think of a fraternity without like any of the crazy stuff.
It's like, dude just being dudes, playing sports, having fun, recording super fun videos.
Like, you know what I mean?
It's like college.
It really is.
You didn't really answer the question?
Yeah.
So how was living together?
Are we still in the honeymoon phase?
I would say so.
We're still figuring it out.
We're figuring no fights.
You'll have your first fight.
We're not arguing yet.
But I mean, we're figuring it out.
Yeah.
So, I mean, we don't really cook.
I actually, now that I say that, remember the rotten egg story.
we were talking about how I had those eggs in my apartment for over a year and you went
told me to open them. I went to open them and they were spoiled. It was, it smelled disgusting.
I asked Chat JBT, JBT, T, B, T, I'm really hungry right now. Can I eat it and be
fine? It's like, hey, I get you're really hungry, but it's probably not in your best interest
to eat. So I went with ramen noodles instead. Yeah, probably smart. I think if your eggs are in the
fridge for like longer than six months, we should go ahead.
six months?
Why, he went a year.
Well, wouldn't they be like a
165 days within?
Guys, there's an expiration date on the bomb.
Yeah, there are expiration dates.
And you should follow those.
I don't want to.
Look,
I don't want to.
Look, I,
we can't keep talking about this
because your chance of getting a wife
is continuing to go down.
Hey, I cut the blonde off, though.
My chances had to go up after that.
Hey.
Okay, okay.
What's the Friday night look like for you boys?
We recently have been picking up,
we have a streaming set up now,
and we've also been trying to learn how to DJ.
Oh, yeah.
So, and then.
DJ board.
Yeah, they're in the figure it out page of life.
Well, if you follow the Instagram stories, you might see,
but we've been cooking it up.
Who's, uh, what's the DJ name?
How can the people follow along?
Oh, gosh.
DJ double vision?
We're still working on it.
Yeah, we're still working on.
Yeah, I think we could do better on the name.
G&J, Graham and Jacks.
G.I. Joe. I don't know.
Let's work on the name.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
We're working on it.
Comment below.
All right, boys.
I think it's time to play real or fake.
Z slang.
You guys ready?
Let's do it.
I mean, are we ready?
I guess so.
We're about to find out.
Hit me.
All right, I'm going to give you two terms.
One's fake and one's real.
Okay.
Okay.
Your first two words are narped and motion.
Oh, that's real.
Which one?
Bro.
You didn't even choose one.
Those are real words.
No, the real word.
Narped.
What is it?
Motion or morphed?
No, it's motion or narped.
Which one is like a term we use in our everyday lives?
Yeah, I'm going to go with G.
NARped.
Feels like.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Is this like one of those things where it's like,
narped feels so Gen Z that it's like just made up in motion is actually what they use?
Yeah, I'm going to go Narped because it feels a little more out of left field.
What does it mean?
I don't know.
Narped?
I'm going to leave this up to U.G.
I'm, uh...
Bro, I'm 38, dude.
I'm the furthest thing away from Gen Z.
Dude, I'm going to have to go...
Narped.
I agree.
You're wrong.
So, Narp's not a word.
Motion. How do you use motion?
How does Ginze use motion? Like,
dude, that boy has motion.
That's how he does it. Oh, that's what it is.
Yeah. That boy got motion.
Like, he got motion. Like, you got motion.
What was the hand sign?
Twin is like, that's your Twizzy. That's your,
that's your boy.
Yeah, like, you got motion twin.
You got motion twin.
But like, but like motion's like a good thing.
Yeah, so if like flow.
Yeah, he's making moves.
He's in motion.
So swag, is that the new swag?
I feel like swag would be equivalent to aura
But motion is like
Like he's active
He's like he's got motion
So think of someone who walks in the room
And he's already got plans made
Like he's like hey
Y'all chill here for a second
I'm gonna go get everything set up
Ah that boy got motion
All right
Or like he's making moves
You're making money moves
Yep
He's a leader
Yeah
Like he's out in the community
Doing what he needs to do
All right dude
Okay
You got motion
Like you want motion
You welcome motion.
Motion equals good.
Got it.
All right.
I knew it, dude.
NARP sounded too.
Yeah.
Here are your next two words.
Canned and ratio.
Racial.
I can take this one, G.
ratio, for sure.
Oh, you, I shouldn't have gone that one.
Is it right?
Yeah, you got it.
Rationos like when you
you dog somebody.
Not really.
You get ratioed?
Come on, Sparks.
I know it's up that alley.
When you flake on someone?
No.
Oh, oh, oh, you're like a social media
for like when the comments are more than the reposts.
Yep.
Well, no.
Something like that.
It's so, so say you just have a steaming hot take.
It's like, dude, this take is garbage.
Kind of like how college is a scam.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So say I'm on social media, I'm like, ah, guys, I tweeted out,
college is a scam.
Someone under me, ratio, ratio bozo.
Their comment is probably going to get more likes.
Dude.
I have officially gotten ratioed.
Bro.
So it's when it has more
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I don't even know what that means.
I still don't know what that means.
You post something and I disagree with it
so I ratio you.
It's like the comments
or the other people
agree more than the person actually posting.
Yeah.
Got it.
So it's like,
oh, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a,
that's a, that's a,
bad take.
It's like bro got ratioed like everybody else
isn't thinking of what he's.
Why don't you just say like,
dude, that's an L take?
Because the ratio is like a percentage thing.
So like when you're voting on an Instagram story,
it's like,
this is 99% and the other option is 1%.
So it's like they got ratio.
I got a question for you.
When a basketball team wins 65 to 63,
do you call that a win or do you call that the other team out ratio the other team?
I'm just curious.
It's just a win, bro.
So it's way too hard into this.
Okay.
Just ease your way into it, dude.
I just feel like.
You just have to have an open mind.
I want a ratio y'all so bad right now.
You're uncalicious.
I'm sorry.
Bro, I'm more than uncalicious.
Call me grandpa.
I don't care.
Call me grams.
G.
G.
G.
G.
Ration.
Go for it.
Yeah.
Give us one.
It's an L take, by the way.
Here's two more Gen Z terms.
Which one's real and which one's fake?
We got one.
Stick drift.
Or two?
In my gloop arc?
In my glute arc?
In my gloop arc.
There's no way that second one is real.
Stick what?
Stick drift.
Yeah, I feel like I've heard stick drift and a little giggle boy over there
just kind of giving it away.
And then the other one was what?
In my gloop arc.
You know?
Here's my, if you want my absolute honest take on this whole segment,
you know what my fear is, dude?
What's that?
I feel like the Gen Ziers are going to take the fake slang
that these guys are coming up with and it's going to be real.
Yeah.
In my gloop arc?
We don't even, that could be the real one.
Is the scary?
Could be.
There ain't no way.
Give me stick drift.
Stick drift.
Final answer.
You got it.
Yeah.
Yes. Do you have any idea what that means?
Stick drift?
Sparky has to know.
You're only sticks every day.
You are.
Stick drift.
Oh, stick drift.
That's when you're gaming with the boys.
Yes.
I was instantly thinking manual while you pulling the break.
You're gaming with the boys and then you drift to another party.
No.
You're switching up games?
No.
You're stick drifting.
It's, bro, Sparky, you know it.
What are your sticks?
What are your sticks?
Remote.
You're PlayStation controller.
You're two, your two joysticks.
Joysticks.
So think about it this way.
You're playing Cod or you're playing Fortnite
and your screen just starts moving
because you got stick drift.
Your controller's broken.
I have this actually right now on MLV the show
where my PCI slowly goes up because I...
Yeah, I need it's time to get new sticks.
Okay.
But has that ever happened you IRL?
Oh yeah.
In the last week it's happened.
Yeah, that one's fine with me.
My light, like I got stick drift right now.
I do.
You're just veering off in the wrong direction.
Honestly, that's fine though,
because you accurately described something.
Yeah, like I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that slang.
So, Garrett, I would love for you to use it in a sentence.
Yo, Sparks, bro, first of all, you got motion.
But I also want to tell you your stick drifting, dude.
Thanks, Racial.
Yeah, I feel uncomfortable with that.
Dude, I do, bro.
I don't know if I like to say like.
That's so good.
I love this so much.
Golly, that fires me up.
Let's run it back.
Hey, let's see how much influence we have with the Gen Ziers.
Okay.
What if we got in my glup arc?
Is that what it was?
Yeah.
In my glup arc, like, it goes into the vocabulary of the Gen Zs.
I have no idea what it would mean, but in my gloop arc.
Let the people decide.
Yeah.
That's fun.
Comment below what do you think it would mean.
Let's keep it appropriate.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, boys, y'all are two and one.
Doing fairly good right now.
Yeah.
All right.
Next two words, your first word is John.
Your next word is crumpled.
John pork?
Well,
sounds like a pig that just got slaughtered.
Yeah,
sounds like an unidentifiable pig.
Like John...
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm gonna go with that one.
There's no way.
What's the other one?
There's no way.
Bro, we gave it away.
How did he guess that?
Bro.
I don't even know what you guessed,
but obviously is correct.
Did you actually not know what that is?
I have no idea, brother.
John pork?
Holy cow.
John Pork is a pig that just got slaughtered.
Buy Tim Cheese.
He got Swiss cheesed.
There is lore to it.
There's internet lore.
John Pork would be the person that calls your phone every day.
You're like, who's calling?
Who is it?
It's John Pork.
He's always ringing your line.
So it's like scam likely?
Could be.
But no, his picture pops up.
His picture pops up.
Who's?
John Pork.
Who's John Pork?
Who's John Pork?
Look him up.
Yeah, pull that boy up.
Pull that boy up.
There's a lot of John's I know.
John Wall.
But there was a tragedy that happened.
John Elway.
We're going to look at what John Pork looks like.
JP?
There he is.
John Pork's calling you.
My main man.
Whoa.
John Pork's got motion.
I don't know if he does.
And John Pork is dead?
He got Swiss cheesed.
By Tim Cheese.
Tim Cheese, Swiss cheesed him.
Can we see a picture of Tim Cheese?
It was a sad thing.
It was a sad day on the internet.
Yeah.
Is Tim related to Chuckie?
This was a big deal, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
He's from the same family tree as Chuckie.
Yeah.
You know, up there,
Fortnite, Tim Cheese versus John Pork.
Yeah. The greats.
I don't know if you can see it in my face.
I can see the face. I'm not even looking at you, G.
I'm so confused right now.
Hey, you guessed it though. That was a lot.
Dude, that was electric. That's a good thing.
Dude, again, like, I don't go to, like,
chick filet with my kiddos and, like, something happens, and I have to make a meme out of it.
I'm sorry, we have fun with things in our lives.
How did he guess it, though?
Yeah.
Are you guys a crazy?
I don't think he actually guessed it.
You're acting like he guessed it.
Well, I said it was a pig that got slaughtered.
He's a pig that got slaughtered.
But that's not what it means, is it?
Well, when you say you get, okay, Swiss cheese,
what would you assume getting Swiss cheese mean?
Swiss cheese, man.
Swiss cheese.
You got holes in you.
You got shot up, dude.
You got shot up, bro.
Unfortunately, he got taken out.
He got shot up.
Like, he got Swiss cheesed, like.
Yeah.
What's provolone?
You know, we just call that murdered, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Swiss cheese is.
Okay, well, hang on.
This is a good one to go into.
Yeah.
We got two more.
Canned or looks maxing?
Canned or looks maxing?
I mean, if it was canned, it would be like fired, right?
Yeah, yeah.
But if it was looks maxing, it would be like...
You're maximizing your looks, like your get-up, your fed was really like that way.
Like, you're like, you're peeking.
Like, dude, I can't look.
I can't look better than this, dude.
I'm looks maxing.
I like that one.
You?
Can just feels too...
Too basic, too.
elementary for these guys.
They don't like to say basic stuff.
They like attention.
They're attention seekers.
Let's go looks maxing.
Let's go looks maxing.
Wow.
You got it.
Good work.
Yes.
Is it what I was describing?
You were there.
You're maximizing your looks.
You're having a great day.
Fit wise.
You look good.
The hair looks good.
Like you feel untouchable.
Correct.
Well, it's not, it's the journey on looking untouchable, correct?
So think of like whenever I brought up mogging, like you, you
mugged him or whatever. That means you
you look better than him. Correct.
You're ugly because
you don't have that aura.
Looks maxing. You got no motion. Looks maxing
is the process. That's the process of it.
So you got to look max
to then move into the motion phase
to then moved into the aura phase.
Correct. I mean, dude, you're, the mugged phase.
So think of it this way. Looks maxing
is the friends you made along the way
that's good. Mogging.
It's about the friends you made along the way.
It's the journey.
It's for the love of the game.
Looks maxing.
Getting from A to B to the mog stage.
Like Zoolander.
Yes.
Zoolander.
You know what Zoolander is?
Yes.
Zulander.
He's luxemaxing.
What was the name of his?
Blue.
Blue steel.
Blue steel.
Holy steel.
That's blue maxing.
That looks maxing.
That's mogging.
That's moxing.
That's logging.
That's looking.
Dude, I'm so shocked.
You know what Zoolander is?
He's the OG.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
We know ball.
You guys do know ball.
You guys do know ball, dude.
maybe I underestimated this Gen Z
crowd.
Your last and final word.
Okay.
D1 crash out
or hang glide.
D1 crash out.
Yeah, D1 crash out.
Final answer.
Maybe y'all are tapped in.
Dude, we're...
Maybe it's me.
Dude, the unc.
It's just, I'm like,
I got motion, brother.
Okay.
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Oh, uh, what was the word?
D1.
Do you want crash out?
I mean, it's kind of like
what y'all are doing
right
what
crashing out of college
bro we're locked in
we're not crashing out
no
uh do you want crash out
athlete that gets injured
no
is that where maybe he doesn't know
no maybe you're set up for success
no that is definitely not it
Jackson you don't understand a game
it's a 50 50 guess
it's an odds game
D1 crash out sounds like it would be somebody
who's set up for success
but completely fails drops the ball
there's all with the balloon
keep you up
you all D1 crashed out
So you gotta think of...
This is a gaming term, isn't it?
No, it's not.
It's not a gaming term.
This is a...
Oh, this is a breakup term.
Garrett, you're losing it.
You're washed.
Can you be a juke?
We gotta go back to the Latin roots here.
I'm gonna go ahead and publicly state this.
I'm washed.
I'm cooked.
You can mug me.
I'm unc.
Racial.
This hurts.
At one point, my life, you were my goat.
Dude, I know, but every goat goes away.
I got father time, brother.
Yeah.
It's okay, dude.
Father time waits on nobody.
It's okay, dude.
Like, dude, you will get ratioed.
You got to accept it. You got to accept it.
The people that don't accept Father Time,
those are the ones that get ratioed.
Those are the ones that get ratio, dude.
They have no motion.
Those are the ones that ended up Swiss cheesy.
Thanks for blessing us with the wisdom.
Yeah.
You're welcome, John Pork.
Oh, yes.
Golly.
What does it mean?
D1 crash out.
You got to go back to the roots.
You know.
D1.
Take away the D1.
Think about, think about crash out.
Crash out.
So, do you want me to use it in a sentence?
You want me to use it?
in sentence. Yeah, please use it in a sentence.
Origin. He is a crash
out. That doesn't do much for me.
He just crashed out. I'll give you a game time
comp. Okay. Antonio
Brown's last game.
Oh, he made a fool. He made a mockery. He crashed out.
He made a mockery of it. He went crazy.
Yeah, it's like going mental but
extra. On like a big stage. Yes, exactly.
So he would say
that Cody had a D1
crash out moment when he fought Corey.
Oh, yeah. I would say so.
So how would you use that's a definition?
How would you use it?
You could say he's a diva or you could say he's a crashout.
He's a D1 crashout.
So Cody's a D1 crash out.
Yeah.
He's crashing out,
twin.
Some other people like they might be due to.
They might be NIA.
Yeah,
he's a D1.
He's a D-W.
He's a D-W.
He's a D-W.
Yeah.
But Antonio.
Do you rank the level of crash out?
That's what the D-1 is.
It adds, it builds upon the word crash out.
So like that.
Oh, baby.
God, man.
We almost got Swiss cheese right there.
Every single time, man.
Well, you know what that is, Graham?
Two minute warning.
Yeah, that's right.
You are familiar.
You are familiar.
Do you guys got any, any rant?
Ooh.
You know, my rant's like a little bit on the edge.
Oh, no.
It's not too, not too angry, but when I was a little kid, I would play right field.
Because I was an almost athlete, you know?
Yeah.
You know who they put out in right field.
Sure. The kid who doesn't do much, you know.
Flower pickers.
And I was out there, you know, picking flowers and jumping and catching mosquitoes.
But I knew I didn't have importance.
there was one game I got pooped on
in the outfield by a bird. That's better than
another teammate. And I was thinking
why did they not just get rid of that position?
It's useless. Right field?
Yeah, you don't need that.
The kids aren't even hitting it into the outcome.
And youth baseball is. I might as well be sitting
on the bench. That's true. Eating seeds.
I feel like this podcast
just released something in you that you have been holding
on to for about eight years.
It's only been eight years. I wasn't doing much.
You got pooped on and you crashed out.
It happens for the best of us. It happens.
It was the championship game of my rec league.
I was probably 8, 6, 7 maybe.
Oh, gosh.
Got pooped on my bird.
Okay, Graham.
You know what?
It looks like our time's up here.
A hot take, though, by the way.
You might get ratioed for that one.
