I'm wearing the sunglasses because I just, I'm feeling under the weather today. But I'm pushing through it, and it's going to be all right.

He eats like a chicken wing. Starts feeling better. Sunglasses come off. He's all perky. Holy shit. There was some like mouse shit on top of this or something. I had to do it. My bad. Amateur. Some mouse shit. I'm sorry to interrupt your story.

No, he looks like Will Ferrell. Did you say Lil Ferrell? AJ just said Lil Ferrell. I swear I said Will Ferrell. No, he looks like a template. Did you say Lil Ferrell? AJ just said Lil Ferrell. I swear I said Will Ferrell. Bro, you look like the template they use when carving Roman hair pieces. Yeah, I'll take it. Who would you guys, if you had a movie about you, who would play you in the movie? Well, Raya Reynolds, obviously.

For obvious reasons. It lines up one for one. What about you guys? I don't know, man. What was the question again? Gee, buddy. Where are you? The question was, if there was a movie made about you, who would play you?

Can you come back to me real quick?

Call me Lil Ferrell. Lil Ferrell. That's fire. Lil Ferrell. Is that your rap name going forward?

Yeah. Uh-huh. I've noticed, dude. Austin, you know, not to expose you, he's like a two-in-one shampoo type of guy. You can expose that all you want. I'm proud. You showed up with some nice curl gel on your shelf, and I'm very impressed. Thank you, buddy.

Very impressed. I've been trying to take better care of myself better care of my hair because i have not to um hype myself up too much but i have beautiful hair and i might as well uh do something about it you went to target i think somebody bought it for me i don't know i've had it for a little while it's just been in hiding he got it in a kit. Austin had like a manic day, and he went through like his storage. He was like, oh, I could use that. Definitely use that.

I'm saving that. The real reason that I think I busted it out was because this past weekend, we went to Dreamville, and I didn't want to wear a hat to Dreamville, but my hair is getting out of control, so I wanted to put a little product in it. It looked awesome. How was it? Dude, Dreamville.

AJ, how was it? Amazing, right? One of the best shows I've ever been to. I've been to a decent amount of concerts at this point and music. For you guys that don't know, Dreamville is a music festival. It's like J. Cole's, basically J. Cole's Music Festival that's hosted in Raleigh, North Carolina. I've been to a lot of music festivals and concerts, and honestly, Drake and J. Cole's performance,

they headlined the second day. Their performance was the greatest concert performance I've ever seen in my life. It was pretty lit. It was wild. That's fire. Yeah. I watched a little bit of it on Amazon Prime.

I'm a recent Prime video subscriber, and one of the live feeds was Dreamville. So I tapped in. I was looking for you all. I couldn't see you. I was looking for just like a shiny dome slightly sticking above the other massive heads, but I didn't see anything.

That's all a lot of domes, to be honest. Couldn't find us in the crowd of 50 000 yeah i couldn't find you yeah i got really lucky with the whole dreamville experience um kenzie our uh podcast assistant producer executive whatever she is these days yeah executive producer um her and uh aj my boy over here um they invited me several months back they asked me if i wanted to go and back. They asked me if I wanted to go. And they asked both of us if we wanted to go, Walker and I. And we were both just like, eh, probably shouldn't, probably can't swing it, blah, blah, blah. I got very lucky, though. The day of, one of my friends said he had an extra ticket, and he was willing to give it to me for literally free.

So that was very clutch. I got to pull up to dreamville i felt i felt bad because i got home from charlotte that day and walker's sitting on the couch and i walk in and he's all excited like oh austin's home we can hang out finally i was across the country for work the whole week so i walk in he's like hey man all right i'll uh i'll see you later like you came in dropped your like shit down and like left yeah i'm like i'm sorry walker but i'm actually leaving yeah that would have been bad i would have been so sick like you waiting all that time for him to get home and then he

comes home and anything i know i cleaned the whole house up i i felt like a little school girl and my my hopes were dashed oh yeah the house looked beautiful i didn't even have time to fully admire the whole thing because i was just in go mode trying to get there yeah it was something tell the story of you getting your ticket oh uh should i should you shout out not spinding us the first day oh i mean oh that whole part i'm not i'm not i don't think i should name drop where the ticket came from necessarily but um yeah kenzie and aj showed up also here at my home or at our home to uh all go to dreamville together but i had to meet up with the person that was giving me my ticket at dreamville so he was like i can't go in without you so kenzie and

aj are like run go find him like just go get your ticket so i take off running i find him in the crowd like outside of the gate and uh he's like all right we gotta go like i gotta go meet up with like these people for this brand deal thing and um kenzie and aj come in like shortly after me and they are nowhere to be found i searched long and hard for so long to find them and apparently they were just like right next to me the whole time like not even in like a crowded space like they were just like right in the same area the whole time it was stupid but yeah probably like a hundred feet from uh where you were at. Is that what dog bark is? Yeah, what the hell is going on out there? It's pretty close.

AJ, we gotta tell the little story about day two in the crowd. I can't remember if I told you the story yet, Walker. It's not ringing any bells. I hope I haven't. I'm embarrassed already.

Dreamville was so crazy, I swear. Just, it was crazy for me to be in something like that, but it was one of the dopest shows I've ever been to. So day two was pretty crowded. They say there were about 50,000 people there. Obviously, the crowd's going to completely surround the stage that has Drake and J. Cole. So we're in the crowd's gonna completely surround the stage that has drake and j cole so um we're all like we're in the crowd kenzie aj and i had had plenty of beverages they were

serving these things called like smearing off like screwdriver smashes they're eight percent and we drank a lot of them so like we were able to take trips to the bathroom, like, regularly enough before the whole J. Cole and Drake thing happened. But after we got in the crowd, like, trying to get closer to the front to, like, be as close as we could, there was no going to the bathroom after that. So we're standing in the crowd, and Kenzie's like, I got to pee. And I'm like, you can, like, if you go to the bathroom and come back right now, Drake will be done. Kenzie's main goal was to see Drake while we were there. Drake will be done before you get – like the whole concert will be over before you can get back in here. Yeah.

And she would have never found us again. So I'm like, Kenzie, you're going to have to bite the bullet here. She pulled her pants down in the crowd of tens of thousands of people and pissed on the ground that's fire i think that's my wife the crazy part is i didn't consider that i probably pissed on people's feet because like at the time i wasn't thinking of that but the lady in front of me turned around and handed me a wipe the worst the worst part was i had to piss so bad too, but I wasn't just going to pull it out and piss in the crowd. So I dropped down to one knee right after Kenzie pissed to piss,

and I put my knee directly in her puddle. I was kneeling in Kenzie's piss puddle, just trying to piss without anybody seeing me. It was fucking gross. You guys are animals. Of course. That's what I said. Walker, that's what I said exactly.

I said, you guys are fucking crazy, bro. I respect it. When it gets to, like, the, you're, like, shaking because you have to pee so bad, like, you got no other option. I thought about pissing my pants, and Austin was like, no, just kneel down. I was like, we'll cover you, like, and people were coming up like is she good like does she need water is she good i'm like she's pissing like just cover her turn around and cover so we had like a little barricade but yeah no i i was in an airport not too long ago and i i don't know there was this girl at the bar that i was trying to flirt with. So I drank like three beers.

She left and they called my boarding. And I was like, oh, I got to piss, but I'll be fine. I had a couple coffees that morning. For those of you that don't know, coffee has this extreme diuretic effect on me. If I drink one coffee, I'm peeing no less than 15 to 30 times that day. It's unbelievable. It's like every half hour on the half hour. So I get up in this plane and we take off.

I'm like, I can make it until we, you know, until they turn the seatbelt light off. And that's the closest experience I've got to like you know i don't know death i guess sitting there just like i'm not kidding like in a full-on sweat like just like bouncing my legs i would like cross my knees and just like i was holding so hard my whatever that muscle is called started spazzing out and it started cramping up. I swear to God. And I was like, I literally was like, I'm going to piss myself on this airplane. What are going to be the consequences if I piss myself on this airplane? Because I knew it was going to be a big one.

It would have gone multiple rows back through the carpet. You guys were still taking off. Your piss would have ran straight to the back of the plane. Yeah, we were a solid 15,000 feet, so, you know, like max incline. That's fire. So I called the flight attendant, and I was like, listen, I have to go. And she was like, you know, I'm not really allowed to let you, but it's your life. So whatever.

Yeah, no, I think, like, technically on airplanes, they can't legally stop you from getting out of your seat. Like, they suggest, like, everybody get in your seats, but I don't think they can legally, like, stop you from getting out. I peed for, like, a minute 45. And it was incredible. It was one of the best feelings of my entire life. That's like a personal record. I've hit two minutes before. No way. Oh yeah.

Dude, dollar beer night at the Checkers game. Oh, I hit two minutes. Fire. I can hold my breath for two minutes. Is that cool? You can do it for like four minutes. Three minutes? I've held my breath for three minutes. Is that cool? You can do it for like four minutes. Three minutes? I've held my breath for three minutes above water.

I saw you do that shit. The last like 30 seconds gets super scary because Austin's just like... I turn a different color. I'm purple and like having a seizure. It's like you can just breathe, man. I gotta beat my personal best, goddammit. It makes you look comfortable. Yeah, they're like, is he gonna die?

He'll be alright. It's like, once you pass out, you'll definitely start breathing, right? Hopefully. I've read a story one time that this dude's dad would go to sleep every night by just holding his breath until he passed out. What the fuck? He was like, I started doing it when I was a kid and like, this guy was

like 50 years old and he would sleep every night by holding his breath. It actually cured his insomnia. Yeah, yeah. If you're suffering out there, just asphyxiate yourself. If you're suffering out there, just asphyxiate yourself. If you're suffering from insomnia, just choke yourself out. Do not do that.

I take back everything I just said. We're not joking about that, alright? Do not choke yourself out. Do not do that. I don't want that over for you. Walker, how was your California trip? It was good, man. I love California. I really haven't talked to you since the, uh, the scenery there's beautiful. Uh, the,

I feel like the vibes are like totally different. It's a really cool area. I'm going up back out there. Not too long this month, actually. I'm not. Yeah. It'd be dope. If you were out there, when I go out there, that'd be pretty cool. When are you going out there? I'm going out there. Um, June 21st, which is also my sister's birthday, but I cleared it with her. Her birthday falls in the middle of the week. It's all cleared up. We're good.

But, yeah, June 21st. That's too far. I got no idea. Yeah. Past April, it's just like a void. Yeah, that's fair. That is very fair. Yeah, but California was great.

I was near, like, the San Francisco area. It was a little little cold but we were driving along the beach and had some great food and people have a lot of mixed feelings about california i've i've only been there one time but i had a really good time yeah i mean we were in a fairly affluent area and you know it was during the work week so my perception might have been colored a little bit but i i had great time california like the west coast just in general it's just like it's different the scenery is like crazy like the geography out there is just like nothing we see dude driving have i told that story on here talked about driving from here to freaking la and back i don't think so no i don't think you have i don't i'm not gonna dive too deep

into that whole story but dude when when my friend and i drove from charlotte north carolina all the way to la and back like the like like you're saying like the landscape the scenery is like it's wild out there like driving through utah i was like this is what fucking utah looks like i thought it was just like you know a bunch of fucking inbred Mormons Was that too far Kenzie She said no we don't fuck with Mormons. I think it might be true. Oh We gotta ask somebody I I thought the Hills Have Eyes was shot out in Utah or something.

I mean, Mormonism is a wild thing. They dug up a book in North America in like the 1800s and they were like, this was the sequel. The sequel to the Bible. Jesus wrote a

I should not have said what I just said. the sequel to the bible jesus wrote a uh i should not have said what i just said looking back on it i just completely shat on a whole religion yeah they're tripping and it's a known fact they're tripping and it's a known fact yeah they're doing some freaky shit i have trello on them we know turned mormons that's what i said i think I know a person we can ask. Sorry to all of our Mormon listeners. You guys are probably great people. Just stop doing your freaky shit, alright? Sound good?

Only Diet Cokes. No caffeine. No alcohol. No caffeine. Sounds lame. Nothing's better than a DC. How about this motherfucking weather? Huh?

It's been very nice. It's springtime here in North Carolina, and we have been reaping the benefits. Big apologies if you suffer from a pollen allergy, because you're probably getting fucked right now. But for everyone else, it's been lovely. Yeah, the sun popped out for two days and all four of us in this room have decided it's a good idea to start using our gym memberships again it's like oh shit it's about to be shirts off weather it's getting real the countdown is on i still haven't started i gotta lose this little beer belly i don't know why i'm waiting

i'm being i'm just waiting bro what. What you waiting on? To start. You're an idiot. We were trying to key you in, not exclude you. I was going to exclude myself anyway. What you waiting on? To start. When I was a kid, I was super insecure about my body and everything like that. I was one of those kids that would jump in the pool with his shirts on.

Boo. Yeah, it's bad. No, it's fine, bro. It's fine. No, okay. Own it. I always made fun of those kids heavy. I'm sorry, Walker. Oh, no.

You have been justified because that is a total little bitch move. Well, you know. Yeah, sure. Your words. A total little pussy ass bitch move. Well, bro, those are my people you're talking about. Those are my people. Sorry about that.

Huh? No, but yeah, it's funny like how people's insecurities manifest themselves like if you ever look at somebody and they do like the uh they pull the shirt out me right now 100 insecure 100 insecure it's like let's get rid of that little belly roll exactly i got a tight shirt on it's just like you know there's a bunch of, like, markers for it. Oh, yeah. No, I've developed a, like, you know, nothing serious at all, but just, like, just through drinking alcohol and stuff over this last winter, I've developed a little belly roll. And I've never had that before in my life.

You showed it? Yeah. I'm not insecure. Well, I am insecure about it, actually, I think. But I fucking not insecure. Well, I am insecure about it, actually, I think. But I fucking hate it. I finally understand why people feel so sad about it, because it doesn't feel good. Yeah, man.

Yeah, I... AJ, save me, please. AJ, talk about your McDouble. Oh, let's please... Oh, my God, we were talking about the McDouble Alright so last summer That's hilarious Last summer

AJ was on the Tubbier side for sure Pop up a picture Right here Right here it's fucking Hilarious AJ's probably Pouring a beer on his head right now in this picture on top of my car. But yeah, no, AJ would lean to the left.

Or no, he would lean to the right and the fucking little fat roll would pop out under his titty. And we named it the McDouble because he was eating too many McDoubles. Shit was pretty funny. Smashing the bitches. Happy about it too. Oh, love it. Although, I usually go double cheeseburger instead of McDouble. That second piece of cheese, that's important to me.

I've definitely tried to, like, try different things, like, but nothing is the same. It's all about what he can make the cheapest. No, no, no, no. Nothing is the same.

What is it? The steak burrito. The double grilled. Taco Bell's never really been part of the zeitgeist for me. With the cheese on the outside? Yeah. Bro, that shit was. I've been to Taco Bell probably like 10 times in my life.

Oh, shit. I went for the first time been talking about probably like 10 times in my life. I went for the first time in a couple of years. Not too long ago. And yeah, the double steak, whatever. Did you get the double? Oh, baby. She tried it, but just got the standard one. But it was kind of lame.

The double was fat. Yeah, it's heavy. I'm surprised it didn't damn near like tear out the bag That shit was They need a reinforced bag Oh yeah I ordered Taco Bell for me and Austin And spent a disgusting amount of money On Taco Bell

It scared the shit out of me I'm sitting here Walker and I are sitting here one night And there's somebody bangs on the door I'm like what the hell Walker's just chilling i are sitting here one night and there's somebody bangs on the door i'm like what the hell walker's just chilling i wanted walker's sitting here chilling i'm like he doesn't give a damn all right so i go open the door and this dude hands me about a fucking 20 pound bag of taco bell we dump it out on the on the table there's like 15 tacos and all kinds of other random shit in there i mean it hit so yeah i've got no idea how i'm 250 pounds you know i don't know you do

shit like that 20 tacos at 11 o'clock did you guys catch the free wendy's promo the double you fucked up you missed it hey hey Hey, hey, McDonald's or Wendy's? Oh, McDonald's. Wendy's can kick rocks. McDonald's, I don't like either. Walker? McDonald's, but I don't mind Wendy's. All right, so McDonald's or Burger King? That's easy.

Say the answer. I'm not even answering. Say the answer. Come on. I need answers. It's going to be the same as yours. McDonald's or Burger King? Oh, McDonald's.

Burger King can go to hell. McDonald's or Taco Bell? McDonald's. McDonald's burger king can mcdonald's or taco bell mcdonald's mcdonald's picking bro it is not picking i like you pick right now no they're both different you lose one forever they're different vibes you lose one you can't get you lose one forever lose one forever see you mcdonald's see you mcdonald's right so we got taco bell we still have mcdonald's over here we got mcdonald's over here McDonald's. See you at McDonald's. What? So we got Taco Bell. We still have McDonald's over here. I just peaked the mic over that.

We got McDonald's over here. It's still McDonald's for me as well. All right, so McDonald's or Chick-fil-A. And for AJ, Taco Bell or Chick-fil-A? McDonald's. I'm going Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A is just overall better.

I think Chick-fil-A is one of the most overrated fast food restaurants. That's fair, but it bangs, dude. They're clean and they don't make me wait for my shit. That is true. The customer service, like in today's, I don't know, age of fast food service, the customer service is nice. But in terms of like a chicken sandwich, like you can get an equal chicken sandwich almost anywhere, I feel like. Nah.

In my opinion, McDonald's is a five-star restaurant. I would take a date to go to McDonald's if she was unhappy. If you can find a nice clean one. The women up at the P Street McDonald's, they got the shit on lock in the morning. Bro, their breakfast hits. They handle it. They've got a, like, it's the same girl. She's wearing, like, a black N95.

And she's always got some fire nails on, and she just rocks that register. She's there to work. She's awesome. She's like, I'll fucking do this motherfucker. You gotta be like that. What do you guys think of the Popeye's chicken sandwich? Never tried it. It's too, it's not trustworthy. Alright, I tried

it when it first came out because they ran out like after like two or three months. I tried it when it first came out. I waited in line for like an hour and I tried it and I ate it in the car and it was one of the tried it. I ate it in the car. And it was one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. I swear to God.

I've said it might be my death row meal. Oh, my God. It's that good? It's fire. If you get one hot, oh, my. Oh, dude. The bread's incredible. You don't like the pickles, but it comes with two thick ass pickles.

Oh, dude. It's fucking awesome. So I have a question. Why have I never seen you guys order one? I've seen you guys eat McDonald's, Taco Bell, all this bullshit, Chick-fil-A all the time. There's not really a Popeye's near here. No Popeye's ever. They're always like, you never know what you're going to get. When you get that one that's just nasty, it's been sitting there for a minute, and it's just gross. It ruins the vibe. Oh, dude, it kills it bad. It a minute and it's just gross oh dude it kills

it bad it kills it bad but you want to try it it takes like a couple months or like even like a couple years dude i'm like oh for two lately and i'm like i'm done i'm done bro i think it's a once a year occurrence because it's like oh days worth of calories and then some do you remember the chicken sandwich is like 1400 calories by itself it's worth of calories and then some. Do you remember? The chicken sandwich is like 1,400 calories by itself. It's worth it, though. It's wild. It's right. Do you guys remember?

I got to try it. During that fucking, I'm not going to say it, but 2020, when Popeye's dropped the sandwich, I think it was in 2020. You know what, it's a good shadow band. I think it was in 2020 and we fucking, I was in line. I wanted to do one bad, dude. I never tried it. I'm a foodie. It was, I mean, it's still good as fuck, but, oh, yeah.

They had, like, a special breed of chickens for the initial run or something. I don't know. Do you guys eat to live or live to eat? Live to eat. Live to eat. Live to eat. I think I eat to live. Oh, food is.

It depends on, like, what I'm going through at that current time period in my life, but I would say overall I eat to live because, I don't know, I just feel like there's other shit. Eating takes up too much of my life. It gets annoying after a certain period of time. You've been cooking a lot recently. When you throw that into it, it really it really is a huge investment yeah i've been trying not to eat out it's tough yeah austin is a uh mushroom and onion fiend oh buddy i've

been going stupid lately mushrooms are mid shut up i will i literally cook mushrooms with any meal and onions dude portobellos baby baby whites. They're decent. Fire, dude. Magic. So if you're eating a steak, you're not mushrooms and onion the fuck out. Maybe some onion, but no mushroom, dude. Creamies? Name one meal that mushrooms wouldn't be good with.

One hot meal. AJ had mushrooms with his dinner yesterday. He don't even know I feed them to him. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. He likes them. You just don't even know I feed them to him. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. He likes them. You just don't know. I never actively eat mushrooms.

Is it called Munchausen syndrome? AJ's getting Munchausen syndrome with mushrooms. Let me tell my side of it. I don't think that's right. Yeah, that's when you slip stuff into people's food. I know they're there and I eat them. AJ's getting drunk. Munchausen syndrome is when...

You fall in love with your captor? No, typically... That's Stockholm syndrome. Ah, shit. It's typically mothers exacerbate their children's symptoms and it's like a form of hypochondria. That's actually Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Ah.

That's right. So that's Kenzie. So the drugging one is what I'm talking about. We'll look it up. I don't know. I don't know. I'll say that. We'll look it up later.

You're like on the right track, but not quite there. Damn it. All I know is Eminem said in a song one time, a victim of Montage Syndrome, and he was talking about his mom putting drugs in his food. So that's where I got my facts from. Sounds like a reputable source, right? Yeah. I mean,

Eminem, you know, he will be talked about as one of the great philosophers. You know, at least of the last... Yeah, the greatest rapper of all time. Bold stance, buddy, but you're very close. Yeah, I'm just kidding. I don't actually believe that. I just say that to piss Walker off. He was probably the best rapper between like 1999

and 2000. Once I heard him all the way, that's hilarious. That's a good run. That's a lot better than most people do. I would die to be the best rapper for a year. Everyone's looking at me. What's your notes, buddy? I love 8 Mile.

100%. I like 8 Mile. I watch the movie 8 Mile literally every single year for the rest of my life. Listen, I'm not... I like 8 Mile too, but you know, it's kind of fitting that the guy

who made and starred in the movie about his life, you know, of course he serves this brutal diss to the guy at the end, you know, like, of course, like he makes the guy walk off.

It's like, is that really what happened? Or is Eminem juice in the story? What would you, what would you do differently? What would you do? I'm not, I'm not talking.

Well, but I'm just saying, I mean, I don't know if, uh, I don't know? I'm not talking. But I'm just saying. I don't know if it was quite that. It's like The Rock in an action movie. Of course he's going to want to win the fucking fight every time. Yeah, The Rock has clauses in his contract where he can only be hit a certain amount of times. No way. He can't be hit more than the person he's fighting.

And at worst, a fight involving him can be a draw. Oh my, so he can't lose? It can be a close loss, a decisive loss. Walker, if Eminem writing that rap battle into that script pisses you off, you would never want to see a movie that I wrote about myself. It's nothing but rap battles. It's not exactly what I was saying, but yeah. This is you and Tay against the world.

No, it's just me gassing myself up the entire time. Holy moly, he almost got messy. Hey, do you guys want to hear what one of my notes are? Sure. Yeah, I would love to. Let's hear your notes, buddy. My voice is fucked. AJ, what's one of your notes?

Why are you making fun of me? Because you sound like a dork. Why are you making fun of me? I've got my glasses on and everything, guys. AJ's getting pissed. He's not even laughing. He's just mad.

He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I ain't mad, bro. I'm good. Look, I'm about to read you something funny that I saw on TikTok. You ready? Please don't preface it like that. Redo that intro. It was a video it was a video on do it better again i saw a video no no no better please better please better well i saw all right i'll listen i'll listen i'm done if you let that motherfucker

shenan once best believe they're gonna shenan again and i started crying that is kind of fucking that's kind of heat i started crying let that motherfucker shenan once you know they're gonna shenan again you best believe that motherfucker's gonna shenan again that is unbelievable like i bought through my phone say what you will about twitter it has exposed us to like some of the most unbelievable minds humanity has ever seen. That was created by a real legend. Yeah. I was talking about TikTok. I saw it on TikTok.

Oh, that was on TikTok. Did I say Twitter? Oh, fuck. My bad. No, I think that was me. No, no. Twitter's fire, too. You said TikTok.

Twitter's fire, too. I heard what I wanted to hear. Walker's a big Twitter guy. Yeah, big Twitter guy. I'm not a big Twitter guy or a big TikTok guy. Yeah, this dude gets a million followers on TikTok and then just stops. He's like, I have achieved. I wanted to hit it.

I wanted to see an M. Done making videos. I got one, one, one, one, one M in my bank account. There you go. I said, boop. All right. Let's get into this. I've got a wild idea.

And there has, I want to preface this by saying there's been a very recent tragedy, you know, involving a tornado. I forget what state it was in, but it was brutal. People should not live in Tornado Alley. That shouldn't happen. The government should buy those people out. We should move all the people out of those states, convert them to a nature preserve, bring back the American buffalo,

and also, that's pretty much it. I fuck with that because I would love to see an American buffalo just roaming the plains. Dude, if like, you know, in the future we just had like, you know, what's the highway that runs all the way across? Is that 40?

440. Wait, wait. I don't know. 40, yes. I don't know what it is. I think it's 40. 40. Probably. Potentially.

40 is just going to be, you know, like 100 feet off the ground now, and we can just like watch the buffalo go while we're driving. that would be fire so you can imagine you want it to look like like a video game or some shit that sounds like yeah that's awesome that sounds anything lit aj anything would be better than what we have anything have y'all have y'all seen i'll see like an infographic that goes around and it's like it's some like dutch country i think and they have a nature highway and it's basically a bridge over the highway that you know it's just like grass and it's basically like a mini oh i have seen that like that allows like the deer and stuff to cross yeah that's fire i think we should do that but for humans dude europe has some freaky, like, I rented a car when I was in...

Doesn't matter. Unimportant to the story, because I forgot. Cool. But European countries, you know how some European countries, they drive on the right side of the road, and a lot of them drive on the left side of the road. You know what I'm saying? That would throw me off.

You guys know what I'm saying? So, you are allowed to drive from country to country but like how are you going to drive into a country on the right side of the road if they drive on the left side of the road like you're fucked so they have bridges that cross over each other or like one bridge that like crosses one piece of traffic or the one side of the traffic over the other so they switch sides like automatically that's sick yeah it's actually really cool we'll pull up we're gonna pull up a picture of the fucking cool ass land bridge that walker was talking about and the

switch maru bridge have you guys have you guys ever been in a tornado before nah no austin has i have i uh my middle school got hit by a tornado yeah hey remember in middle was it at school we got hit by one at school. Austin's trampoline was in the neighbor's farm. Oh, shit. Damn, I forgot about that. Yeah, we had a tramp. So we lived out in the country.

We had a trampoline out there. And the fucking trampoline flew away like a frisbee into the neighbor's tree. We found it in the neighbor's tree the next day. Because a fucking tornado came through. I mean, that just turns into like a wind foil. Like, see ya. I had a trampoline too. It did used to move a lot. Not into a tree, but it did some moving

around. It walked around at night. Bad storms, Troy. See ya. See ya. Gotta pull it back. See ya. See ya. I just built a backflip off the trampoline. See ya. You got to pull it back. See ya. See ya. I just built a backflip off the trampoline, no cap. Wow. That's pretty fire.

Out of the ground. Can we talk about something real quick? Sure. So AJ introduced the group to this terminology, and the term is see ya. So it kind of just started as see ya or like see ya see ya see ya i don't know whatever so we all kind of have developed our own like version of saying see ya so aj let's hear yours that that's hilarious mine mine turned into see ya that's literally oh you just peaked it yeah i fucked it up it's fine i bet you that's like some stuff that like probably me and only me you think is funny but everyone else probably like they're idiots yeah they're fucking idiots

i think it's hilarious it's so funny because i got like dante saying it too like the other day we hung up facetime and i was like all right peace, and I was like, all right, peace, bro. And he was like, see ya. No, I can't even lie. I'm not the original creator of that. One of my old friends from high school used to do it, and it just stuck with me the whole time. Fuck it, own it.

You showed it to me, so in my mind, you're the original. Yeah, that was my version, guys. What was that again? No, no, no, I already did it. What we were laughing No, no, no. I already did it. You forgot to ask me. What we were laughing about though is AJ texted it as CYA. Yeah. And Austin and I think that's hilarious.

Yeah, I think it is funny. And AJ's like, I don't do that. Yeah, you do. CYA? What's wrong with that? I texted it as CYA as well because I got it from AJ. Is that a big problem in your relationship? No.

I know you have a problem with him misspelling things. Dude, I hate texting, bro. I just have given up i hate text i already i literally will apologize forever for the the way i respond to text i know i whisper whisper uh respond terribly aj's made up his own um i don't know the word but he does w-H-A-T apostrophe R-E. W-H-A-T What are you doing? That's not a word. What are you doing?

No, if you spell it with the apostrophe. It's not a word. You can throw an apostrophe in anything and it pretty much becomes a word, I think. I mean, it works, but it's not a word. You know what fucks me up on a daily basis? The I before E rule. When I'm spelling I mean, it works, but it's not a word. You know what fucks me up on a daily basis? What is? The I before E rule.

When I'm spelling any word ever, I go I before E, and over every word I spell, it's wrong. What is the rule? I before E except after C or something like that? I was a wide receiver in high school, and we'd have to write shit down for whatever, and I would spell it wrong all the fucking time. And I was one of them. Like you should know how to spell your position. Well,

is, is Seaver a C I E or C E I R C I V E R. You want to hear something about me? C E I. No, real quick. That's not right. I just had a doctor,

my doctor at work. It's like, it's, it's E I or I E. E I. That's what I said. I just had a doctor, my doctor at work. It's E-I or I-E. E-I. That's what I said. It's E-I. R-E-C-E-I-V-E-R. Yes, that's right.

Okay. Like, can you tell her story? Sorry. I just had a doctor at work point out to me that my name is, my first name ends after the C, it ends in I-E, but my last name is after the C. It ends in IE, but my last name is EI. She was like, does that ever confuse people that it's IE and then EI? And that was the first time anyone pointed that out to me, and it fucked me up. Yeah, your last name makes no fucking sense at all.

No shit. Especially the pronunciation of it makes no sense either. M-A-N-T-H-E-I. At all. Oh, was I not supposed to out you like that? I don't give a shit. Look her up on LinkedIn, reporter for bad stuff. Boys, do you guys have any...

Oh, no, do not do that. Stop. We are cutting this. That's funny. Walker's fucking with my shit. Do you guys have any closing things you want to say? Look up my LinkedIn and report back. Got any dope shit left in your guys' arsenals?

No, I got some shit. Oh, yeah. And you know what? Just because we hit. I'll keep going. I got heat. I wasn't asking you to keep going. But if you have something that's like, you know.
