It's been such a great process. First getting to know who the citizens of Burbank are, trying to get them on board and then learning more about the issues of Burbank, which are issues that are happening all over this country, whether it's housing, the relationship with the schools, with the police, with transportation. Burbank's a great city and they do a great job about being proactive with these things. But if you want to learn more about it, if you want to learn more through working on our campaign, how you could help

your city, come join us. Go to parforburbank.com, volunteer or donate. This is going to be a collaborative effort. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking to all of you and figuring out what matters to you guys. And we're going to just have a big round table of ideas. And we may not always agree, but we're always going to make progress. So check it out. Thanks so much, guys. Awesome. Shout out to our sponsors, Easy Rider, Magic Mine and Botanic Tonics let's start the show. Update on the special I think we're gonna maybe just do the good old YouTube route talking to the managers about maybe doing this thing on patreon where I think we're gonna maybe just do the good old YouTube route. Talking to the managers about maybe doing this thing on Patreon where people could pay

to get it but I think the goal is just have access for everybody. It's up to you man. I think so. I mean, basically what happens we shopped it to the major streamers, Amazon, Hulu, all that. They basically passed being like, hey, we want some big names. So you know. But you know what, good on you

for even being honest about that. Yeah. A lot of comics will go to YouTube and create a narrative where they're like, no, I said no to Amazon. Yeah, no, no, they definitely said no to me, dude. They're definitely like, nah, dude, not enough followers, not big enough, get out.

And then my managers are very nice where they're like, our managers who are amazing, the Luke's, they're like, hey, look, they're funny, they like it, fans there, but they're just like that their business model is they want, which makes sense. They want big fucking comics, that makes sense. So we'll see what the timeline is on that. I mean, I sent an email where- I saw that.

You're kicking the tires on it, which is good. And you're doing a good job of organizing all of us. So. I think we're pretty much locked once we get that intro. Yeah, we're just going to do the new intro and then. Which is easy. And it's funny, I talked to Bernalina about it. He's like, I don't really remember a note.

Which I think we already addressed it by making it a little bit less abrupt. So he's like, yeah, I think you guys already addressed it. And we're just thinking about putting that little fun title card thing in. Yeah. After that, I think we. Which doesn't require anything, really. Yeah. After that, I think we-

Which doesn't require anything really. No, we take out the one thing that's in there, which is temporary of the title of the special, which is gonna be, I could tell them. Yep. It's gonna be making memories, dude. Sick, cause this one's not gonna be making money. It's gonna be making memories, baby.

But- Well, also, I mean, optimistically, a lot of huge comedians, their first special was on YouTube and that's what drove ticket sales and that's what was the kind of bridge to a later streaming special. And for a lot of them, the YouTube special is the one that everyone still talks about.

Makes sense, I mean, this one would be like, if you think about the trajectory, it's like, okay, this special had like, what I started at comedy in 2009, so like 13 years of effort into this. If you get another special deal, it would be like the turnarounds, what, one to two years? Yeah, your first album is often your best. And I mean, dude, it looks beautiful.

The DP, Pennebaker was great. The production was good and your performance was outstanding. And excellent directing by JT, you're truly right here. Gracias, Armando. But so in terms of the controllables, I think it was a, I'm so proud of it. You did an amazing job. So I'm just excited for people to see it

and they can enjoy it. Let's go. Yeah, I mean, it's cool. Luke is talking about maybe this Patreon thing, but then we'll see what happens with it. But maybe the move is just get this thing colorized, get the audio mixed in properly and just fucking clip it up and let's go.

Yeah. And the turnaround on that could be pretty quick. It could be up, yeah, I think we could have it up and running in a couple of weeks. Yeah, that's what would be nice. And you wanna get it out sooner. I think so. So that, I mean, most of the bits were evergreen.

Yeah, there's one bit that I think would be better if it comes this year. Yeah, so let's get it out. Yeah. So that's it. And then I heard you giving some advice. Do you get a lot of people asking you, because with your campaign in Burbank, asking you like more national issues, because you're focused in on the city of Burbank, but you also have to have a global perspective. Yeah, but I think the issues of, like Burbank is such an exceptionally well-run city. Like it's a good place to run because they do a great job.

Like on all fronts, like they're transparent about what they're doing with their money. They're in front of a lot of problems rather than like, you know, working backwards on them. Like they're there. Yeah. But you know, working backwards on them. Like they're there. But you know, housing's an issue. Yes. Small business development's an issue.

There's union issues. A lot of things that, you know, across the country are big problems. So it's giving me a good motivation to learn more about all of it. But it is funny when like, it's given me a new perspective on national politics, where sometimes I'm like, oh, it's almost like a personality debate.

Yeah. Yeah, it's like a, do you feel like it's kind of a popularity contest? Like you have to be, you gotta get to know these people? Who's more appealing to hang out with? And then that's just based off what your values are. Like do you like a little more polish and positivity or do you like a little more like saying it like it is and

not being afraid of the consequence and being real that way? Do you find that you have to have a hard stance or take on something or can you be pragmatic? Like even when I was just hearing you talk a little bit about the oceans right there, you're like, okay, we wanna be a green city going forward, come up with some low emission sort of energy options, but you're like, but it's gonna be cost effective. Can you just say in a debate,

we have to try to find that deal, we don't have it yet. Will voters be happy with that or do they want you to be like, this is the deal? No, hard stance. I think it can be both, right? But you have to have something that people are voting for. You have to have, I think you have to have like a, dude, I have no clue either,

but I think you have to have like a personality thing that people are voting for. And I think you need to have a policy thing that people are voting for. But it is funny, like when people are voting for. And I think you need to have a policy thing that people are voting for. Yeah. But it is funny, like when people are talking, they'll just go into their political narrative very quickly. There's something about politics,

like even at this local level where people are very polished. And I find that somewhat unappealing to me. Yeah, they've like branded this personality and persona. The big dog, looking good. Baby, let's go, flow's on fire. And you'll see their brain go to it, you know? You'll be like, why do you drive a Honda?

And they'll be like, well, you know, my uncle. Yeah, dude, terrible. He worked for Honda for a long time. Even though it was a foreign company, he always felt like, you know, working with people who were from a different place was important. So I've always felt like when I drive, working with people who were from a different place was important So I've always felt like when I drive a Honda, I'm not just driving a car that gets me somewhere

I'm driving a relationship between us and another nation and I'm like what? Like shut up, dude. Your uncle like half of that's true. It's like your uncle worked at the dealership gave you hold back minus this percentage Yeah, exactly. Yeah Fuck dude. Yeah. Yeah dude, just extra like being a hero about anything. See you just had a Chipotle burrito. Well the thing is when I eat a burrito,

I want ingredients that come from all of Mesoamerica. But you know- Our neighbors to the south. But also part of the gig has been like leaning in like my, I was working on like my bio for like a radio interview and it was like, he learned from his his Colombian immigrant mother and entrepreneur father work ethic and wanting to make an impact.

And I was like, I don't wanna refer to my mom that way. She is that, but my mom's a million things to me, and she never led with that. My mom would walk in any room and just be like, hey, here I am. And if Colombians were there, she was stoked, and sometimes she missed her country. But it wasn't how she defined herself. But then I be like, hey, here I am. And like, if Colombians were there, she was stoked. And sometimes she missed her country. But it wasn't how she like defined herself.

But then I was like, I was like, all that is true. Like, it's not untrue. So I tried to write a joke in it. And after I put my Colombian immigrant mother, I put in parentheses diversity. And- But then I was like, you know what? I don't think, I don't think I should do that.

Yeah, the voters might not appreciate that. And that, in that space. Yeah, and at first I thought it was for the voters. But then I thought about it, I was that. Yeah, the voters might not appreciate that. And that in that space. Yeah, and at first I thought it was for the voters, but then I thought about it, I was like, no, actually for me, I think I do need to own this as my truth. And this is my truth. Like that is true. It feels a little gross, but I was like, but that is,

that is like nothing in that sentence is a lie. And it's tough cause you got to, do you writing a bio about yourself is the worst because you have to like brand, you're branding about yourself is the worst because you have to like, you're branding yourself basically and you're putting yourself into like a little blurb of like, here's my entire experience in a paragraph that you can understand and will like.

It feels very reductive. Yeah. And then you're like, I'm kind of a peacock in a bit. Is that a new white shirt? It is new, yeah, from Walmart. It looks great. Dude, I found this brand, George, when I was in Daytona, I got a couple shirts

with my brother at Target, and they're like my favorite shirts. So I just ordered it, they're like $4. So I just ordered a few more, I got a couple whites, couple Heather gray, couple blacks. Are they heavy ones? Is that like the Yes Chef heavy? It's very light.

It's light, yeah. Yeah, the cumulative weight on that might not show up on a scale. Dude, there's nothing I love more than just a solid, solid color basic tee. Did you see Channing Tatum in that interview where he said he hates doing laundry so much that he just bought 365 white shirts one year?

For real? A commenter. You might be my new hero. It's pretty cool. That. For real? A commenter. You might be my new hero. It's pretty cool. That's sick. A smart commenter was like, what about your underwear? Wait, we're going back to the, in politics, do I have just noticed watching, you know,

like Kamala and a lot of it has to be like bragging. Like, here's what I did. I did this. I did that. and a lot of it has to be like bragging. Like, here's what I did. I did this, I did that. I did, well, you don't know that I did. And it's like, that's gotta be like, have you thought of many things to say? If you're like a debate, you're like, when the cards were stacked against me,

I came out and said I had a small dong. I do, nothing in the small dong department yet. And I'm sorry to the community for not leading with that. But I have found moments where I've like, had to be proud of myself. Like I was talking about going to junior college and I was like, I try to instill like a sense of, of community there where other people

didn't really have that. They were just waiting to get to the next place. And I was like, no, we need to appreciate being here now. But I thought about it, I was like, that was true. I did throw a lot of parties for it. Of course. Yeah. So I was like, it's, yeah, you just gotta,

you gotta be proud of yourself a little bit. Yeah. And you can't, you can't nag yourself too much. Although there's, I think there's good moments for it. How are you feeling on your stance on a, cause we were sort of discussing policy yesterday. And it's tough, because it's so nuanced to make a decision.

How do you feel on that? I feel good. I think I'm coming closer to an articulated platform when it comes to housing, which I think is the biggest issue, not just locally, but across the country. I've learned a ton about it. I'm talking to people on both sides, developers,

but then also people who work with the homeless and people who work in nonprofit and affordable housing. So I don't know, I'm here on both sides, but I think I'm discovering how I really feel about it. And I think I'm coming up with a compassionate path forward that still allows business to kind of build up the supply. It's cool. allows business to kind of build up the supply. It's cool. It's tough.

We were talking about it and I felt like, I was like, man, I'm dumb. Oh, I'm so dumb, dude. I don't know anything. No, it's hard to find answers to it. And it's like, we're in comedy and a lot of comedy issues, like when comedians, when we talk politics, we're in comedy and a lot of comedy issues like when comedians when we talk politics

we're just really talking about like I Know we don't it's not policy right it's like You know it made me think it did make me think like You know a lot of people that they when they when they discuss politics, especially when they're not really like well versed in it they'll just You know, they'll make these arguments that on surface seem legit, but then when you get into the minutia, I'm stoked to use that word. Very nice.

You can't have just like basic arguments for it. Every issue is, there's, I don't know, it just seems like you can go a million ways with each issue in terms of like solutions. There's like an easy vilification of the other two where like if you're like for rent control, you'd be like landlords are just greedy pieces of shit that wanna jack up prices because they went on a gambling spree in Vegas.

And I'm like, what? Like is that all of them or is that just like a useful way to frame it? And I understand it too because your heart is with the renters and the people who could be out on the street. Like they are the kind of more natural person to care about in that situation.

But I don't think it's helpful to just be like, bad guy, good guy. Yeah. No, yeah. It's like incentives. What it's gonna incentivize people to do to create the scenario that's a Goldilocks condition for everyone Which is so tough because there's so many different things happening. That's right. It's like just crazy

But that is what people at the top do is they'll be like this is bad. This is good. He's the bad guy I'm the good guy. You know what? I mean, you reduce it they do simplify it. Oh, yeah terms Angel devil. Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah. Which is hilarious. Super helpful. Yeah, it is helpful. Oh, do we got Hugh Janus texting in?

What have we got in here? We got Booty Assassin, nice. Taking a break from killing some booty. We got Donnie Capri Sun, we got cream jeans, what up? More toll roads, interesting. What do you think about more toll roads, JT? You know, we don't, that's not something that's a problem in Burbank.

So I actually don't know that much about toll road arguments. I remember when that was an issue in Orange County. I love the 73. The 73 is incredible. Even though it's like 15 bucks. Yeah, it's expensive. Yeah, and the tickets on it.

But remember they were gonna build one through Trussells, but that ended up never happening. Oh yeah. Yep. But one thing in Burbank right now is the bus line. We're gonna have a new bus line that connects like Pasadena and Eston North Hollywood. Oh, that's sick.

Yeah, and so they're gonna take one of the streets on all of and make it just a dedicated bus lane. Dude, you know what, they did that in Culver, I hate it. I hate it. Yeah, they're doing that. I am pro bus line, by the way. You are? Dude, yeah, I hate it, dude.

It's so annoying because they just make one lane and it backs up the traffic. Right there in front of City Hall? There, yeah, and then when I go to Hot Yog, shout out. There's just one bus lane and it's just like, it's in red and you're like, so can I cross this to go into the parking garage? It just makes things confusing.

Look, I totally understand what you're saying and I think there is an inconvenience to any kind of progress. But the thing is, is like, with the Olympics coming up, with the design of the city, my kid's godfather lives in West Hollywood. He barely sees the kiddos because he doesn't have a car and we don't have good enough public transportation to get him over this. So this is something that I care a lot about personally. And I think in 10 years, you're going to be glad it's there and we're going to boost up the aesthetic

and the cultural appeal of it. It's going to feel like the subway. That'd be nice. We're going to be an interconnected city. It's not going to feel like Santa Monica is another country. It's gonna feel like they're your neighbor that you can get to in the drop of a hat. But here's the thing. That's nice. Here's the thing.

Is it gonna be one lane everywhere, backed up? We have to be intentional with where we put this. Now, if you look at what we're doing in Burbank, we're not going all the way through Olive. We've created some alternate routes to keep congestion free, to keep those small businesses getting walk-in personnel. And no, we're gonna be very smart about how we route it.

And if I get in the lane and a cop sees me in the lane, what's he gonna do? Are you asking if I'm for defund the police? Yeah. Look, I don't think catchphrases like that are helpful. I think we need to have a nuanced conversation. Although someone in the chat gave a good catchphrase. You could say, making Burbank burb-dank.

Oh, yeah. That's pretty sick, dude. Dude, speaking of the Olympics coming up, JT, when you get in office, I'm very mindful. I'm very mindful. I'm very demure. I'm thinking of this. I'm manifesting it.

Demure's in. We were talking about that last time. Dude, it's the best. Dude, I'm thinking you got, I'm manifesting it. Demure's in, we were talking about that last time. Dude, it's the best. Dude, I'm thinking you gotta get, what Olympic activity do you think would be sick in Burbank? Like hiking, dude? Going on a nice hike in one of those hills right there? I think picking a Halloween costume.

Oh, sick. Yeah, dude, there's so many Halloween stores. You know Burbank has the most gun stores per capita in the country? Really? Dude, yeah, you go down Magnolia, it's gun store, gun store, gun store. Yeah, people are not happy about it. Why is it? And sometimes I laugh,

I don't mean to be glib, I have to stop doing that. It's just sometimes things like that, the ridiculousness of it makes me laugh a little. Well, it's actually probably safer. It's like one of those things where it's like people are like, I don't want a police station or a local jail in my neighborhood. It's like, yeah, you kind of do because if someone breaks out, they're not hanging out around there, they, you kind of do. Because if someone breaks out, they're not hanging out around there, they're getting out of town. So put the police station right there.

And then the gun store, no one's gonna buy the gun, walk straight out and like shoot the gun. It's like, they're gonna go somewhere else. So it's kind of- I'm gonna say that. It's a little gnarly, but like- Guns bought in Burbank, but shot elsewhere. Exactly, they're usually shot elsewhere, dude.

They're not being shot right there. Oh, look at this. Yeah, did you see that? A surfer in New Jersey arrested for protesting needing a beach badge to surf. Dude, this is criminal, dude. You can't need a badge to surf, bro. Dude, this could be good for the beach.

That's a beautiful thing that he- When you rolled out of the car- Is he going like limp body on him? Yeah. That was always the best. Dude, he's dead fishing it? When your friends were trying to, yeah, exactly. That's a beautiful thing that he rolled out of the car going like limp body on him. Yeah That was always the best dude. He's dead. Your friends were trying to yeah exactly amazing Did that be sick to get arrested for That guy's an automatic legend. I bet you guys what's this lady doing? Is she processing? Oh Did that guy guys licked that night too.

Yeah, if you protest you get your hog licked. Automatic AJ. Yeah. H.J. Yeah, so basically what I got from it is that it's sort of like a license almost where you need like a badge on your arm that shows you're allowed there. But it's the ocean, you know? Yeah. Should be open to everybody, right? Yeah, the city doesn't own the ocean. You know who does own the ocean, you know? Yeah. It should be open to everybody, right? Yeah, the city doesn't own the ocean. You know who does own the ocean?

Earth, dude. God. Yeah. I mean, dude, these guys paddled in from somewhere else. Why not, dude? Yeah, good call. Just paddle in, just, dude, paddle in from the next beach, surf, paddle out on the beach over,

probably get more of a workout. But it sucks, because all those, you see these nice homes in the background? That's everyone in there, dude. They're like, we don't want surfers coming in. Take up parking, dude. How do you obtain a beach badge? Man, this is, if they had surfing in Soviet Russia,

that's what they would have been doing. And wait, so is the beach badge just to go to the beach period or for surfing? For surfing it sounds like. I don't know the details. Oh, Jersey Shore, yeah dude. Dude, that's like, that's like.

I was gonna say, seeing a dude get wrestled down in the sand on the Jersey Shore par for the course. I mean, it's kind of, it's kind of just what happens there in the summer. For surfing. Okay. Wow. Beach badges require information.

Now, so were they having some kind of issue? Was that like some kind of a new policy because they felt like there was too many like unhoused going to the beach? My guess is, I've been to the shore a little bit here, so I'm an expert because I've been there. It gets very gnarly. It's probably just, it's probably just to limit crowding in parking because it is the shore and it's

like the Bay's on one side, the shores right here. It's like a tiny peninsula. It's probably just to limit. Does it cost money? It's got to cost money. So in Montana, like if you want to go fishing, you got to go get a fishing license that day. Right. And it's like 10 bucks. And there's a bunch of stores where you can get them. Sold out. Oh my gosh. That's tough. That's brutal. I'd love to do a deep dive onto this and learn more. Wait, if you're a senior citizen, it's 80 bucks? Season badge. Oh, okay.

I mean, if you go to the state beaches, like they're basically just making it like California state beaches, like Trestle, Santa No, like you have to have a pass to get down there. To Santa? Yeah. Really? You have to pay money.

I forgot that. Yeah, you do, you have to pay money. You've always had to. Santa doesn't exist anymore. I know that got Yeah, you do, you have to pay money. You've always had to. No, Sano doesn't exist anymore. I know that got washed away. It's so gnarly. And if you want to go like surfing at a state beach or something in California, you got to pay money.

Doheny, you have to pay money. Oh, like to park? Parking basically, yeah. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. So what beaches do you not, Maine Beach in Laguna, you don't have to pay. San Clemente Pier, you don't have to pay. Salt Creek, you don't have to pay. San Clemente Pier, you don't have to pay. Salt Creek, you don't have to pay.

Nope, just a small parking fee at the lot, that's it. And you can even get around that if you park. Yeah. But everything around there costs a little bit. Totally. That's not so. Nothing's free, dude. You just gotta go to a quieter beach.

I mean, in LA, you just go like, what does it take? Take Los Virginas off the 101, go over Malibu, take a right, cruise past Pepperdine, park anywhere along PCH, you can go to any beach you want. Thing is though, with surfing, it's tougher because the good waves are only at certain spots. So it's sort of just a bummer at that beach. Yeah, true.

This was another sort of thing in the same vein, just a little bit closer to home. This guy was blowing bubbles and got ticketed for liquid littering. Whoa. Whoa. And I guess he's like a known guy, like he does it all the time.

Damn. He's been doing it for more than a decade. He just stands out there and blows bubbles for the kids. Huge bubbles. It was so fun chasing them down, trying to pop them, said 13 year old Adam. Did he's the bubble pirate? This is hilarious, dude.

That's interesting. Damn, dude. You saw that comment, Strider. Wait, what did it say? A liquid littered on Strider's mom. Whoa, from Cream Jeans. Damn dude, how do you feel about that? What did I do to deserve that, dude? I mean, whoa. Did he though?

Did Cream Jeans liquid litter on your mom? No, I would have found out about this, but my mom and I talk about everything. So he's just more like saying things, trying to like provoke. Yeah. Cream Jeans, why are you saying that, bro? Yeah, Cream Jeans. Oh, cause he says I have cloud shoes on, So he's just more like saying things trying to provoke. Yeah. Cream jeans, why are you saying that bro? Yeah, cream jeans.

Oh, cause he says I have cloud shoes on, he doesn't like that. He's a hoca guy maybe. You got cloud shoes? On clouds. It's funny, I wore these, I'm gonna buy a new pair dude. I'm gonna buy another pair today dude. Dude, are you guys getting ripped up by mosquitoes?

Yes bro. I'm getting torn up by mosquitoes. I think I got one here. Dude. I'm getting tor up by mosquitoes. I think I got one here. Dude. I'm getting torched on my dog walks. Dude, I might go outside, rip the pull-up bar, not to brag, but I'm just getting ripped up

because they can feel it. You know, mosquitoes are attracted to tea. Oh, for sure. And you got the heat on your body. They're gonna come over there. They're gonna want a taste of that. Yeah, heat. Did he do squats?

They hound me. Kind of embarrassed that I haven't been getting a bit more than, maybe my levels are down. I mean, even busy with the kids and stuff. It's not as much time to boost tea. I could hook you up with some tea if you want some. Yeah, dude. Some anabolic, just do a quick shot.

Just a quick little cycle if you want. I'm down. I'd like to do Anivar, it's a hardening. Cock hardening? No, no, just muscle hardening. Oh. Hard muscles are nice, dude. Yeah, they look like dense.

Good. That's sick. Like who's the DN from, or who is an outside linebacker from The Steelers? What's his name, Harrison? James Harrison. Bro, he was the dense. He was the densest man that ever lived. I tried a workout program to try and build dense muscle,

like Zach got founded and neighbors, and they said when you do, you know, slow reps, I think it's like big weight, low reps, do it slow. It makes, I don't think it worked. Time under tension. Yeah. I've been doing a lot of these HIIT workouts and they've been nice and I'm feeling pretty good

but I gotta trick my body, I gotta switch it up, dude. Is that where your wife hits you? Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it's usually to the rhythm of a nice dance beat like a, bless you. Yeah, that's usually open hand slap Just your wife in the face wherever whatever she wants in the middle of a workout That's tight. Like if i'm doing a plank i'll be holding a plank. Sometimes it's tough to get my face. So she'll slap my booty

Something like that Yeah, I remember you were telling me you're like, uh, I love it. I like that. Yeah, I remember you were telling me you're like, I love it. I like that, yeah. It's nice. So you're a sup. Motivates me. You're a sup.

Big time. Do you wear? I'm a finesse bottom when making love. Wow. I wear masks a lot. Oh, you do? Yeah, I'll wear a Chucky mask. Well, because I went over to his house one time

just to borrow your Band of Brothers DVD set. Yeah, for sure. You want episode five, I think. Yeah. And you were wearing the mask and like, you had to unzip to like talk. I didn't even know it was him. He like unzipped his mask.

He's like, what up dude? I was like, damn, you were under there? Yeah. I usually put in steel nipple clamps and my wife will hook me up to a car battery He like unzipped his mask. He's like, what up, dude? I was like, damn you were under there. Yeah I usually put in steel nipple clamps and my wife will hook me up to a car battery when I'm in the house and just charge me up. She'll say time to charge, charge up. So you caught me right before charging, which was good. Otherwise if I would adapt you up, you might've gotten shocked. Is that from being on your cell phone too much? Yeah. Yes. Cause it can get you dude being on the phone too much. Yeah. Cause my wife's huge on that. She said don dude be on the phone too much. Yeah Yeah, my wife's huge on that. She said don't be on the phone China's watching you. She'll say that dude She'll be on your phone China's looking at you through that

Look out I Like slipknot dude Did the guy from slipknot got hurt? Didn't he like you burnt his face or something? What do I saw that? Yeah, he's dating Kelly Osbourne. Oh, good for them. Saw this article recently, I forget where, but it was like movies that, oh, I guess because Rotten Tomatoes

is bringing the fan score back, and there's movies that famously get bad critics score. Like Tommy Boy has like a 28%. It's one of the best movies of all time. Did it really? Fan score's like 90. Comedies always do bad. Yeah. Happy Gilmore, all. Comedy's always do bad.

Yeah. Happy Gilmore, all those did not perform well critically. National Treasure was one great movie. Dude, National Treasure, I love that movie. So much fun. The critics are like, this is stupid. Shut up, dude. I've never seen it.

You haven't seen it? No. Dude, it's a blast. How much fun is US history? It's the most fun. It's basically like a Da Vinci code. Like they're solving riddles and crimes, it's fun. There's a little bit of cat and mouse, it's great.

Yeah, dude. And you got Cage. Yeah, I love going to DC and you just look at TJ and you're like, what up, dude. I know. And. Remember when we went to the Jefferson Memorial there was that big ass puddle, dude?

It's all rainy and shit. Oh yeah. You know it's a bummer i heard that inside the pentagon it's like kind of not sick it's probably just like an office yeah it's like a we work yeah it's just a big ass just a pentagon shaped we work you guys ever seen the movie ballistic x-verse sever no because that movie is kind of cat and cat. Wow. Shwing, dude, are you gonna see alien Rami listed? Are you an alien guy? You're not big on those. You know what, that's such a perceptive call.

I know what's up, dude. You're not big on aliens or a movie alien. I think the the universe aliens, the movie universe. The Prometheus. And you know what? You like the questions that those movies asks, but I think you don't appreciate the execution. And I'm right there with you when it comes to Prometheus, dude.

Yeah, that's right. But dude, you do love those jacked giant beings, those creator beings. you love them. I like them, but I will have to respectfully parry here and say, I think you like them the most. I think you're probably correct. Can we pull up one of the- I was projecting there, dude.

Can we pull up one of the jacked Prometheus guys? These guys are great, dude. I'm sorry, Prometheus. guys. These guys are great, dude. P R O M E T H E U S. Nice. Chad knows his Greek. Chad knows his Greek. I want a spelling bee. Right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go to one of these Jack. Look at this guy. This creator, dude. This is where he like, I don't really know what he's doing here in the movie.

Like drinks the bad alien forming juice and then Drowns himself or something so it can't live But look how jacked he is dude. Wow He's likes these guys are like eight feet tall. I think they're supposed to be maybe bigger Maybe they're like 11 feet tall these dudes But they're so ripped dude is that So is that his real body just painted?

Maybe. Probably. Wow. Yeah, let's see his real body. Wait, the little guy, no. That's it? No. Dude, that's some bowl. Dude, it's movie magic, no.

Aw, dude. This guy's not jacked. Man. Dude, it's a movie magic. No. Oh, dude. This guy's not jacked. Dude. Man. One of my favorite memories from high school is when we were reading Things Fall Apart and we sidetracked the classroom discussion to figure out how big we thought the protagonist at Conquo was.

Yeah. We settled on about six, four, two, was. Yeah. We settled on about 64215. Solid. Dude, did you guys see where you did your butthole sunning world record? The Cliffs of Black's beach, like crumbled and fell apart. Yeah. Cause the heat, like the rocks cracked and shit.

They did that even more. I saw that happen like last year. Did they? Saw something recently. Damn. Could have been an old post, don't know. It's fun to read the comments because it's either people being like,

we need to do something about the environment or it's like people on the other side who are like, big deal, rocks fall apart all the time. Yeah, exactly. So funny, dude. I'm like, I don't know how you think you know that. But you might be right. It's just there.

The history rocks all apart all the time. Look at the Grand Canyon. Obviously, that fell apart. Do what do you think? Who cares? And even if that's true, it's still surprising when it happens as a human. It's also right by Gladderport,

a very popular beach that people like to go and drop hog. So yeah, this is news. I wonder if there was dudes like in Pompeii while Vesuvius was raging here, like big deal, volcano volcano probably gonna light my whole family on fire let's all freak out yeah dude there's actually a guy frozen like that who's making a sarcastic comment just whatever dude she's melted forever like this forever like this.

Being sarcastic to the lava. Duh, dude. Mountains explode, get over it. Dude, I like, are you guys, do you guys worry about natural disasters often? Just when I'm going to bed at night. Yeah. Like once every four months. That's a healthy clip I think. Is that often?

No, I mean we experienced a natural disaster on our last, I mean luckily it wasn't a disaster but a natural event with the earthquake. You know what I think about it? That's a healthy differentiation. Whenever I get Jersey mics I'm like, I hope there's not like an earthquake so I can enjoy this smart. Yeah And then afterwards I'm like do what you will earth but like thank you for giving me that moment Do that's a beautiful thing as long as you're that that's just a great way to get it

It's just a great mindset to have a be treating yourself to something nice Be treating yourself to something nice, living a dank day, so that if an equate comes and you get fucking drilled by a cell tower or a phone pole that falls on your head, you've had a good day. Is that how you envision? Yeah, like after this you just inspire me. I'm like I'm gonna get a smoothie. You get a smoothie? I'm gonna get a nice smoothie and I'm gonna add extra peanut butter to it after this so that once I'm done, I'm gonna get a smoothie. You get a smoothie? I'm gonna get a nice smoothie and I'm gonna add extra peanut butter to it after this so that once I'm done sipping that smoothie or even if I take one sip,

if a fucking helicopter falls out of the sky on me, great. I remember, dude, when the protests were turning into looting a couple years ago, I remember I just got a text from Chad saying, get to Jersey Mike's we got to protect it Yeah, yeah, you get your club sub now. Yeah, you were coming out of a gun shop in Burbank, weren't you? I was literally holding a club sub and a club and I was like I was just fighting off looters. I Was like I was like going to the Apple store not here. Yeah, these are cold cuts

Dude, all three of us were in there just standing in front of the ham. Just get the fuck away from this. Dude, Joe. Well, I love the, we went to that Jersey Mike's that's over by you off Maple cause they actually have Pepper Jack there. I remember, yeah. That's every election day on that second November,

excuse me, that second Tuesday in November, we all post up at that Jersey Mike's and defend it. Well, what's crazy is that day too, Joe was on the roof with a sniper rifle. Yeah. Just straight, like he wasn't messing around. And then he was taking a nap. Go to subway. Because he got so tired.

Don't come here, dumbass. Yeah, go to Quiznos idiots So We're so guys we have the bros before Joe's show coming up on September 11th and Kevin is Very much the at the creative helm of these shows. He's them. He's our marketing guru for these shows, dude Yeah, and he was pitching um, can I talk about this on the pod? Yeah for sure. He's pitching a moaning contest to see who wins over the audience with their moaning and we were all into it but then Joe sends a text he goes, no moaning. I'm in. You like that? I do because you know I think I'm in. You like that?

I do. Because you know, I think Kevin's pouring so much energy into it. I think things are best when someone just has free rein to express themselves, good, bad, and indifferent. So I think we just give him the green light on it and let him go nutty. I 100% agree. And even if it is not like entertaining in the moment, always, I think we'll remember it fondly. I remember when we did that moan contest at the comedy store.

It's amazing. Did you ever think when you first started doing standup that 10 years later you'd be doing a moaning contest. No. I didn't think about it, nor did I want it. You never visualized that? You wasn't, it wasn't, no, I just, I don't know. Maybe I was ignorant.

I just didn't know. So you're saying you were watching, you were watching, you know, Louis CK live at the Beacon. Richard Pryor. Yeah, and you're like, man, that's something I wanna do, but what I really wanna do is have a moaning contest. Yeah, I was watching these guys and I was like, man, that's such a revealing thing to break down about life

that was right in front of us, but no one had ever noticed. Good for him. I'm here to fake bus loads on stage. But genuinely, I'm happy that we're doing it because it just took me a while to realize I do want that. Sick. Joe would be great. I want to hear Joe moan.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is stupid. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. This is stupid. Maybe we all just do a Joe-mong. Yeah, Joe-mong would be pretty funny. And he'll get mad on stage, it'll be funny.

I always picture him. It sounds like he's pulling something. Joe nuts his hamstring cramps up. Ah, my sciatica, ah, Charlie horse. Yeah. It's my, did you cum, Joe? No, it's my calf, dumbass. I pulled it.

It's cramping. God. That's hilarious. You know, I think it's hard for me to talk about, but I am, you know, behoved to talk about it just to keep it straight with everyone. Strider might have had the best fantasy football draft. Whoa. Dude, that's high praise.

Dude, I'm a little bit nervous about, I'm a little light at running back. I need guys to boom. I was going to show you this image, dude. Look at this image. You don't have like a, do you have a guy who's in the top 10 in his position group in the pre-season rankings? I don't. I have guys that were right outside of it,

but look at this. This is on some dorks. But you have a ton of depth. Like you have, in a 14 team league, Eric Crabill. You have Trey McBride and you have Mark Andrews. Yep. So you have crazy depth,

a ton of trade chips. Yep. And you have crazy depth, a tie trade chips. Yep. And then who are your receivers? 14 team league guys. So it's not going to be as like top heavy as some other leagues. I've got Adams, who's old, 31 Adams. That was like the highest player I paid for Adams. Then I got Drake London.

Then I got Michael Pittman Jr. And then I took later, I took J took JSN Jackson Smith and Jigba. So I got pretty good receiver depth but I need guys to pop but that's what you do. And then I got Rico Dowdle but Cowboys just signed Dalvin Cook but I'm not worried about it dude. Cook sucked on the Jets. But I don't like that there's another body in that backfield. Or that they felt like they needed to sign some more.

Exactly. I wish they were just being needed to sign some nails. Exactly. I wish they were just being like, let's run with Doudle. But you know, what basically, it basically week one, if I'm not seeing Doudle getting red zone looks, he might get cut. But I took them late. That's fine. He screwed me and my brother a couple of times too. Well, you guys, I mean, look, you, you have a very top heavy team.

You've got high end talent. You've got Pacheca who I love, which you guys got a very top heavy team. You got high end talent. You've got Pacheco who I love, which you guys got at a great rate as your keeper. Then you went big on two, you took King Henry, which I love King Henry now, that's Derek Henry at Baltimore. And then you guys went, so you had your running back shored up

and then you just got a little horny. Who was it? Chase or Jefferson that you took? Justin Jefferson. I mean, bro, it's still Justin Jefferson. No, I'm happy we got him. It should have just been one or the other. I should have gotten Jefferson

and then I should have gone like Jacobs and Mike Evans and gotten a little more depth. Yeah, exactly. For the price that I got Henry. Exactly. But you know, Henry was the first pick thrown up and we go auction style and our league goes above a lot of where like fantasy projections are because it's 14 team league,

you gotta get a good guy and they can run out. Yeah. And we have keepers which throws off prices. Yeah, and so a lot of times we'll have multiple guys go over 80, especially there wasn't much available at running backs. I was like, man, Henry for 71. I'm like, that's kind of a steal.

But then the market came down this year. People were a little bit more frugal than usual. It did. And you the most. It was very frugal. Our buddy Ross had a nice draft. But I do, I was chaste. I have to admit, come clean. I actually like Swift this year. A lot of people don't. I want it Swift. Got outbid on him and people are making fun of Ross for having him. But I liked that pick. And then I did want Aaron Jones at a good price for less than 40. And then one of the guys in our league, Kyle, the former champ from last year,

the sitting champ, I should say, he went big on Aaron Jones, new system, but he's gonna be the dude running the ball there. But he was hurt last year, I don't know. Look, Kyle's my beard-eye partner. We've got tremendous chemistry when we're out there. He catches everything. I'm more of an offensive specialist.

His draft strategy this year was, how do I put this? It was sad. His three targets, Aaron Jones, Javante Williams. Coming off an ACL tear. Although I like the backs, this other guy, Jaleel McLaughlin in Denver is solid too. Past catching backs, but I mean, I don't know, they got a rookie quarterback who's going to be checking down. Maybe people will like that, but yeah. And then he had another running back that I was like, what? He kept Laporte though, I like that. And you know, he won the championship last year.

So. He got lucky, dude. I had the highest PF, he got fucking lucky, dude. I think you had the second highest PF. Did I? Who had the highest? Robbie? Mm-hmm.

Are you sure? Yeah, because I saw someone. I might've had the second highest PF. I saw someone correct you on this one. I might've. But still I had fat PF, dude. I had the highest PF of anybody left in the playoffs take that Robbie you're out sit down dude and higher PF than me I mean I treated Gibbs yeah

but yeah A-chan I mean hopefully he goes off but he's small I'm pissed off Paul kept most hurt because I wanted to take both. I would have done that. That would have been nice. I would have shored up that backfield on my team, but I mean, keeping most dirt for three bucks. Who got, who's the Chargers QB? Herbert. Herbert. Someone went late because Herbert's injured right now.

So he was going at a discount. I forget. What's he injured with? I don't know what his injury is, but he'll be able to play but he's coming, he's banged up in some way. He had a rough season last year. I was going to go for Lawrence, but I ended up stealing. I wanted to make sure Trevor, the evil demon in our league

wasn't able to stack CD and DAC. And then also Brooks, unknown bad drafter, love the guy, but unknown bad drafter. Love the guy but a known bad drafter. He wanted Dak and he's a huge cowboy fan. So I took him, I snagged him dude. And I was gonna get Kyler. I was battling you for Kyler, but I saw Dak there and I go, I'll just take him a little bit cheaper.

But they went for about the same price. I like that Kyler pick. I didn't tell him he can run. It's kind of a make or break year for him. It feels like, and they've got weapons. He's got weapons. How do you guys feel about the Bears this year? I like them. You know, I like their skill positions a lot.

I like Caleb a lot, but they don't have much of a pass rush. I don't think they're, did they shore up the O-line? They got an O-line man. Yes, they did. In the off season, they signed someone but. I would be surprised if they're a contender in their division. People are saying they're gonna be a contender, that's a good division. It's good. It's young.

The Lions and the Packers are good. So do we think they're good enough to jump over them? I don't think so. No and look, Williams is still a rookie. He's gonna take time to jive, he's gonna have some some growing pains, but I think he's going to be legit. Is Josh Allen overrated? People are correcting me on the Bears. I don't know a ton about it, but uh, Bears D, Bears D was sneaky good last year. They're secondary. You know, I think they need some some cornerbacks. I do know this about Bears fans though. They don't need much to get excited. Oh, no, they don't. Yeah. And well, dude, actually it's funny. All the Bears fans I talked to, you know, they're excited

but they go, no, I'm not doing it. Nope, nope. Yeah, yeah, no, it's amazing, but nope, nope. This is a fan base that took like five years to admit they shouldn't have drafted Trubisky. Hilarious. He's so bad, dude. JT, how are you feeling about the Steelers this year?

Our defense is going gonna be good. And then like my brother is still like, hey, we might get a Uke, which would kind of hurt us fantasy wise because we have Pickens. But if we get a Uke, I think we'd have the best like non QB talent in the league. Like we might jump over the Niners at that point,

obviously, because they dip a little bit. So I don't know, we got a good squad. I like Tomlin. I know he hasn't proven it in the playoffs, but we stick by our coaches. So I don't know, we got a good squad. I like Tomlin. I know he hasn't proven it in the playoffs, but we stick by our coaches. And more often than not, we win. He's had some dog shit teams that he's taken and done good stuff with.

It's true. No, yeah. I mean, we haven't had a good quarterback for a while. So he always keeps them competitive. I might take a whiz real quick. I mean, dude, what if I just do like the automatic selection, just crush it? Well, you know, dude, what if I just do like the automatic selection, just crush it?

Well, you know, dude, so I was talking to a guy yesterday who works for like the Burbank newspaper and we were talking about housing and he just kept, both of us, we were just like, we just kept going, going, going, going. And he's like, sorry, I'm like a nerd about, I'm like a nerd. And I was like, dude, I think it's nerdier

to talk about sports. Really? I do. Why? Because like housing actually has an impact on the things around you and like actually like would change your life. Where when you're talking all granular

about sports for five hours, it's like, what are you talking about? Action figures, basically. Yeah. I mean, I love nerdy shit though. Like I'll watch Darth Vader fan fiction all day. I'll watch, you know, what was Darth Vader like? What's day like for Darth?

And it's like, he's actually pretty depressed. I don't know if you guys knew that. Whoa. Darth was sad during the day? Darth was sad during the day. Like listening to the Smiths and stuff? Dude, gnarly stuff. Like he literally, he'll get into his, you know, he gets in that

healing liquid, I forget what it's called, but he'll meditate in there and then he'll just crank my chemical romance. And then, so I was learning about his suit, right? So his suit, you know, he's basically a, what's it called, one of your half robot? Bionic, android? Yeah, one of the two. And you know, he has robotic limbs and then a lot of people are like, well he got burned so bad, you know,

he also burned his hog, like how does he go to the bathroom? You know, he's in that suit, it's like a healing suit, it's keeping him alive. How does he defecate and all that kind of stuff and he literally has a device where he just, he'll just drop a deuce and it disposes of it in his suit. So literally in some of the scenes in Star Wars where he's saying, he's like,

you are part of the Rebel Alliance. He could literally be taking a deuce at the same time. Wow. Isn't that sick? It's scary. When he's like using the force to choke one of his, you know, underlings for not, you know, moving the Star Destroyers where they should have been sooner.

Yeah. He could be busting a nut maybe. 100%. Wow. Does he bust? Good question. We can ask Star Wars fan theory on YouTube. That'd be a good question.

Be like, dude, can you imagine a YouTube video in 19 minutes, does Darth Vader bust? That'd be a great, I would watch that. Me too. I just hope it doesn't evolve. Yeah. How much would it, It does, you know.

How much would it suck though if like, you had that good of flow as Anakin. You look that good. You're dating Natalie Portman. You're gonna have a child together. You're like the top warrior in the empire. And then you throw it all away. I know, he got corrupted, dude.

You get corrupted by some geezer. And then you kill your wife and you just get burnt to a crisp. And now people are wondering if you can even bust. Getting older sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Darth Vader does seem in retent. That's a, yeah.

I could see that. Dink drop daddy, Darth Vader, TNB, does he touch and bust? Interesting. Well, he can touch things with the force. True. So I heard he would, you know, Padme would be in the room across from him.

He'd like, you know, pinch her nip and she'd go, ah, and he'd go, poof. Mm-hmm. I could definitely see that. I'd definitely watch that. Should we take a call? Hell yeah.

Hello? Hello? Hello, can you guys hear me? What up? Yep, what up? What up, what up? Who is this? Before we begin, oh yeah, who is this? My name is Jack, I'm from San Diego,

saw you guys, when you guys went to downtown, it was a riot. Hell yeah, dude. Good start. Dude, do you think Darth Vader buzzed? Hmm, great question. I can't even, he got like burnt up. I don't really know too much about the Star Wars lore, if you will, didn't like, you know,

maybe that part of it is a little bit a little bit compromised I think it's definitely burnt, but you know, I think maybe maybe his nerve endings are a little bit more sensitive So he's TMB Yeah, good points pretty much it's got got the force game back on don't touch my hog Obi-Wan You know, I'm team B. Anyways what's ailing you? So pretty much I had this board, it was a Machado C, I loved that thing. Went up to Big Sur for a week, caught some great waves, gonna get eaten by sharks, awesome time. Got back to our one to two type summer that we've been having. And I was changing, leaving the beach,

left my board on the grass, left the beach without my board. Went back a little bit later, lifeguard doesn't have it, nobody has it, phone posted all over on Oscar up, nobody's got it, somebody's somebody has it. And you know, after about a week, I was like, whatever, we'll call the loss a loss. So I got a new fish. And the new it's a good board, it it's fine but you know when I'm bottom turning I just keep digging rail just stuff that wouldn't happen on my old board and I keep just thinking like like kind of like you know the one that got away and then it's just with you know the bad waves that have been going on my

stoke is just down like I'm like, I'm without my favorite board. I've got a new one and it's fine. I think I gotta give it, you know, more of a chance, but just, you know, sad when you make a dumb move like that. What do you think was going on with you emotionally to forget your board at the beach? That's a really good question. I think honestly it was just stoked. The water was like 75. The waves were bad, but I was out with three of my boys. Just having a good time, you know, just catching what we could. Each got a few good waves and then I was just changing. Just left it there.

and then I was just changing, just left it there. If you had to like think of a song that reminded you of your board, what song would it be? Oh, that's a great question. That's the one I ever had by Drake. You know, those types of vibes. Maybe like we could sing that song to your board and because we can't replace it but we can remember it and maybe through that we can learn to move on. Yes, I think that's good. You know a lot of girls be thinking my songs are about them. But this one is not to get confused.

This one's for you. Baby, you're my everything. You all I ever wanted. We could do it real big. Bigger than you ever done it. You'd be up on everything. Other hoes ain't ever on it. You'll be up on everything I want this forever. I swear I can spend whatever on it cuz she hold me down every time I hit her up when I get right promise that we gonna live it up

She made me beg for it till she give it up and I say the same thing every single time I say you fucking best you the fucking best time. I say you the fucking best. You the fucking best. You the fucking best. You the fucking best. You the best I ever had. Best I ever had. Best I ever had. I say you the fucking best.

No, you got a roommate. Call me when there's no one there. Nice, dude. That was beautiful. Yeah. Dude, you know what? I had this thought when we were just dropping those beats that maybe your board supplied you

with so much stoke and maybe it just topped you off so well that you unconsciously were like, I need to give this to someone else because it's given me so much goodness that this board has given me all it has and now it's time for someone else to experience this. And so whether you did it consciously or unconsciously, you were gifting someone Stoke.

or unconsciously you were gifting someone stoke. That's really true. I think also, you know, that the border was a fish. It wasn't doing the greatest in some of those deeper sections. You know, I think it is time I moved on to a little bit pointier, a little bit bigger rocker, trying to finally get some good, some good time in the green room, you know. That's really mature.

Yeah. You know, life, life has a funny way of working sometimes, I guess. Yeah. It's pushing you towards. Yeah. But yeah, hopefully, you know, whoever picked it up, hopefully it's some high schooler getting his, getting his surf on and he's ripping that thing out the D Street. What if I see him?

Yeah, what are you gonna do if you see him though? I don't really know. Probably just like call the cops or something. You know, we got a future state councilman up here. You know, I can't do any incrimination of myself. Pragmatic, smart, good. Yeah, I like that. One of the bicycle cops, beach bicycle cops shows up, hey, where'd you get this board? Yeah.

I've got my baby. So be stoked for him, be stoked that he gave to someone, but if you encounter them in the real world, call the cops. Yep. Gotta take the stoke back if I can. Dude, there's probably some dude from Arizona, dude. Didn't hear that. You know what I mean, dude? Probably some dude that doesn't even surf. He's got- What does he zone? Probably just hanging on his wall. He's selling on opera for 150 bucks. Even worse, probably being a poser and putting it in a zoom background. So people in his work be like, oh dude, you surf?

Darren? Oh, Darren surfs? I didn't know that. You get out of Phoenix much? Oh yeah, yeah. Just got this new board. Damn dude. Looks pretty broken in, Darren.

Can you even do a cutback? No, you can't. Damn dude. Poser, pussy. Nice dude. Yeah. Sometimes you gotta say that. Can you even do a cut back? No, you can't. Poser pussy. Nice dude. Yeah, sometimes you gotta say that. Sometimes you just gotta call a dude a pussy that you don't know, you know? It's not nice. There's a lot of pussies out there.

Definitely. But yeah, I mean hopefully it wasn't an Arizona resident. That would break my heart even more. Yeah. And I mean, you just got to get back out there and get on hinge, you know, start messaging other girls and you'll find somebody you really care about. I think so too. They're out there, you know, they're out there on Facebook marketplace. They're out there on offer.

Yeah. off. Yeah. But whatever you do, you know, I would try not to use medical supplements. Gotcha. So no, you know, no, no, no. Yeah, I know this is pain. I know this is painful for you too, but don't take any opioids. Now that your board's gone. Yeah, it is tough. Yeah, you know. Wasn't wasn't on my list. Gladly, gladly, you know, down to that point. Maybe if I leave my next board at the beach, then, you know, we might start

looking at that type of that type of help. No, man, don't do it. No, no, don't do it. Don, no, don't do it, dude. Don't do it, dude. It's not worth it, bro. Leave your board, dude. Don't do opioids, dude. That's what happened to Radical Freddy.

He lost his board and he turned to heroin and died. Yeah, he started doing black tar, sleeping in one of those electrical boxes by traffic signal lights to stay warm. And it actually wasn't even the black tar sleeping in one of those electrical boxes by traffic signal lights to stay warm. And it actually wasn't even the black tar that killed him. There was a ton in his system, but it rained and he got electrocuted. He got Darth Vader pretty much. He was in a suit for a while. When you were in the electric chair, do you bust? No. It's insane that they thought an electric chair was a humane way to get

rid of someone. It's very gnarly. It's probably one of the worst things you can do to somebody. It's so creepy. The guillotine might be more humane. Yeah. Caller, are you pro death penalty? Yeah. Good question. Now that you've been wronged, dude, with your board being stolen, how do you feel about draconian law like the death penalty? I don't know. I feel like we got kind of an okay system set up. It's like not a ton of people get the death penalty, but the people that do are pretty much without a doubt guilty it seems like. But you know, I always like to say I'm not

really, not really the arbiter to say anything like that, you know. But dude, it might be affecting you because death penalty, you know, when someone's on death row, minimum 10 years, it's expensive, might be why board prices are so high. I mean we could just be having people make Machado seasides in the prisons just for everybody in Southern California you know. It's a great call. Donnie Capri Sun says that when you get guillotined you can still comprehend things for like five minutes is that true? I don't know did they ever talk to someone who get guillotined you can still comprehend things for like five minutes. Is that true? I don't know. Did they ever talk to someone who got guillotined?

Still, in the elect there you can probably comprehend like a lot Also, uh, I think there's been More than a handful of people who are exonerated for their crimes after being executed Drew Drew that's that's a huge swing and a miss. That sucks. You imagine that. That's why they do 10 years now. Like you got to get it right. You got to like they're like devils advocating it for like a long time. At least they should be.

It's kind of thing. You got to get right all the time. Yeah. It's like, okay, the Unabomber. All right, yeah, this guy's gonna go. JT, are you pro bringing honor back to Burbank, you know, settling things by the blade? Dude, it's funny you mentioned that because I think about that guy a lot.

When we went to a Newport City Council meeting, he's like, you know, in the in the past, there was a way to settle issues. You know, you had three options. You know, you could do hands or by sword, by the blade. And we need to bring that back to Newport Beach. And I was like, dude, do not come within six feet of me. He clearly had COVID. He was coughing up a storm.

But I think that allowed me to miss the deeper point, which was like, yeah, the honor of the blade. I will say this, I'm open to hearing from everyone, from all perspectives, if the statistics support that will lead to, you know, actually more peace because people, it's a useful deterrent from conflict, then I could be in support of it. But I think we have to investigate other options before we return to the blade. True. If only because Burbank's a lot of kids too. And I just, adults might be able to handle it and go on about their business,

but we have to think about the next generation. And if kids are seeing knife fights on the regular, what's that doing to their psychology? True, knife fights should just stay in dune. Those are some of the sickest knife fights. But I like what you're saying, and I like where you're coming from, because it's vitality.

And that's something that is in short supply nationally, and that's something that's in short supply nationally. And that's something that's in short supply locally. And I don't ever want to see that go away. So where do we channel that? Do we have programs to channel that? Are we doing a keto? Are we doing knife fighting training? Right. We're doing it right. I'll tell you what the tough guy thinks about it.

I don't care if you got a blade because if I got my powder, you're dead meat. because I don't even feel a blade when I'm tarnt up on a couple of key bumps man you could cut my arms all day I ain't feeling a thing I'm coming straight for you no matter what and you know what I'm beat you down with it ain't my lefts or my rights it's me spitting straight at you just telling you the truth real close to your face most people can't handle that. Even a guy with a knife. If you tell a guy the truth and he's got a knife,

it'd fall apart. Is it the truth, tough guy that, you know, hits these people so hard, or is it the garlic from the meal that you eat? Heavy garlic pasta. I eat heavy garlic pastas. Even my steak is just smothered in it. I mean, look, you don't want to be in an elevator with me after

I've had dinner for multiple reasons. There's the smell and there's the fact that I'm going to make you do a key bump. And my key is like the size of a old school. It's like a cell from a prison joint back in 1280 London. It's about this friggin' big, my friggin' key bumps are like you're doing it off a Macintosh. Coller, what do you think about dying by the blade? Thank you, you know, you get a ball hollow, it's a warrior's death baby, but I feel like on the same, on the same vein, what if you were able to hire a champion

like Game of Thrones style, these guys get paid like you know, like lawyers like every hour they train Available hours, baby, and then you know, like you hire these guys will duke it out on your behalf instead of like, you know Kind of a mental duking we got going on Pretty cool, but I like these old guys having a fight for themselves It's a cool profession these dudes, these professional guys but it's a cop out. I like what you're saying about the fighters but is it union and are they local hires? I feel like the union would have to be made at some point. I feel like somebody would kind of abuse that power at a certain point. And let's have incentives

for local apprenticeship. You know, let's have incentives for local apprenticeship. You know, let's get people into the system. Let's make sure those jobs are within the community. Because I've seen stats that... Like the super stats that you can import, like, you know, can just bring McGregor over, have him be the champion. Like, that's not very fair.

Could be a 10 to one work to live ratio where you got 10 people working at this job and only one of those people's actually living in the community. I think we want our champions to be from our town representing our town and staying in our town. Agreed. Thanks for calling in. Thank you guys. Thank you for, thank you for boosting my stoke. Dude, thank you guys. Thank you for thank you for boosting my stoke. Thank you, dude.

Legend, dude. You boosted mine. You know, it's those hard hitting calls that really make a difference. It's good. You get your board jacked. I mean, that's it's no good. Dude, so something cool that we got coming up, I think we'll release it next week is,

Russell, how do you say his last name, JT, Sir Marino? I think that's right. A stoker, an honorable stoker, a legendary stoker, had an idea to create a animated pilot based off the podcast. Yeah. And we all did voices for it. He finished the animation.

It's a blast. I love it. It's based off, you know, interaction or a conversation we had with Joe. And I think we're gonna premiere on the YouTube channel sometime next week. So I love it. It's a fun hang. It's a fun way to look at the podcast too

because especially like when we do it, you know, we do it every week so you kind of, it's just, you just normalize it and then to hear it in this con, in this animated form and then see like a story played out based on it with the voices is really fun and I'm excited for the Stokers to see it. He's a great guy. Great guy. Talented. Super sweet guy.

Yeah, I watched it. He sent it over. It's really fun. I like the way the mouths move in it. Yeah. I like it's very satisfying. So, I'm thinking, I think we'll post it. Stokers look out for it on the Going Deep podcast YouTube page.

I think Monday. Monday we'll fire it up. Dude, we just got that content coming your guys's way, dude. Yeah. So shout to Russell, you're a legend, dude. Thank you for all the hard work you're putting in. And if you guys like it, get more episodes out there. Fuck yeah.

Hi. Hey. What up, dude? Good morning. Good to see you, dude. Hey yeah. Hi. Hey. What up dude, good morning. Hey. Good to see you dude. Hey, good morning. How's it going? How are you bros? Good man, we're just hanging.

Can you hear me? Yeah, how are you? Doing great. What ails you? Yeah, I just wanted to start by saying that East Coast Stoker over here calling from New York City. Oh, dude, nice. Business. You guys have given me a lot of joy over the years and I always have you guys on in the

background whenever I'm working from home. Swang, dude. And I always have you guys on in the background whenever I'm working from home swing dude And definitely can say that my date guys girlfriend originally hated it being on all the time But since she was never actually paying attention, but definitely after watching a few clips. She's a huge stoker now She loves the advice you guys give and definitely appreciate that comes from a place of honesty with a lot of heart. She even got me and my buddy A.A. Ron Transcendor Worries t-shirts and now she feels mine to wear all the time.

So we love you guys. Did love you back man. Thanks for being a stoker. Of course, of course. So let me get into it. So I have not really an issue, but more of something that I have to plan out over the next six months. I have a roughly 15 to 20 person bachelor party, all mid 30 year olds. And we're trying to decide a spot and it's

coming down to kind of me to make the decision and I wanted just to pick your brains on how to pick a spot between Montreal, Cabo or Miami. It's definitely like a large group, mainly married guys with everyone has a kid or two and everyone's kind of in their career so money's not too much of an issue but I think that kind of given everyone's age range everyone's kind of using this as the one big guys trip of the year and we haven't seen a lot of these bros since pre-COVID so this is like a big trip so I want to just pick your brain. You know, definitely been to Montreal and Miami for bachelor parties before, but never been to Cabo,

but Chad says it's the best. So we threw it in there and we're just kind of trying to get some advice on how to move forward. Now, what are the pros of Montreal? Yeah. Pros of Montreal would definitely be closer Most of the guys are coming from New York and a few are flying in from SF. So it would be Definitely the closest option. So you probably get the most number of bros there

The food's good. It's a little bit cheaper I Hear the clubs are nice. And definitely I think a cheaper option compared to the other two. And it wouldn't be as much travel for everyone else on the trip. I don't know between, I don't know what the top option is, but I can tell you this, and this is just brass tacks me shooting you straight. Considering where you're all at in life,

I don't know, I do not think, actually I know, you guys can't do Miami. Okay, all right. Those days are past my friend. The last big bachelor trip that we all went on was to Miami like two years ago So how does it go? It wasn't great everyone went home broke but it was it was a good time. It was a good time

We had we lost a couple guys at 5 or 6 a.m. But everyone made it home in one feet You guys are like 35 now Yeah, like mid-30s. Fewer like 33, 34. Most everyone has a kid or recently moved out with their wives to a suburbs. And then there are a couple of us in the city still holding on.

Here's the thing. I think you gotta go abroad. I think Cabo, there's so many different types of Cabo. Do you wanna? So I've never been to Cabo. Yeah. And I threw it on the list and everyone was really positive on Cabo

and I would love to know what makes Cabo so great. That's an option. What doesn't make Cabo so great? There's so many different types of Cabos. You could do surf Cabo, you could do hard rage Cabo, you could do spa Cabo, you could do strictly jet ski Cabo. Fish Cabo. Fish Cabo.

There's so many different types of Cabo. And for you guys in your mid thirties, you know, you guys can have a nice dinner at the office. Maybe get like massages and you know, group facials or just hardcore rage. You can all get on jet skis together. I mean, you've crushed jet skis on bachelor parties in Cabo.

How was that? Yeah it was kind of my job for a while. It was great. I don't regret a second of it. And I think you're totally spot on too. Like Cabo you can kind of pick your pace. You can go as fast or as slow as you want. Where I think Miami, and this is the reason I kind of ruled it out as an option, is it's an Autobahn, you gotta be going fast. There's no slow lane there. Yeah. If you're at 11, you're going 11 to 11.

Exactly. And I think, you know, you guys are going for what? I'm guessing some guys are doing two nights, but it's three nights max. Yeah, it's three nights max. So first night is, and I'm sorry to people who are sensitive to this, it's not my favorite thing. Generally, first night is strip club night.

Second night is club night. Third night, no one has the energy to go out. You stay in and you watch MacGruber. It's nice. Sick. Dude, what about, you guys are all 35. What if you just go to like Columbus, Ohio? Good town. Stay at a Westin. It'd be central centrally located

Good Wi-Fi to check in with the families. You get a nice steak. It's still pretty much Midwest You get good clean cut grass-fed steak You hit a craft brewery. They got Topgolf. I think if not, they got Lucky Strike bowling Topgolf, I think. If not, they got Lucky Strike bowling. Topgolf is struggling. They need the help. You've had a good time. You've had a good time. I feel like it wouldn't be a bad option for like a... It's kind of like Montreal.

Like a football weekend. Yeah. No, I love that. And even, you know, if you're thinking Columbus, don't rule out Cincinnati. Cincinnati is sick. Yeah, go to Cincinnati. Dude, dude, you go to all the lakeside cities.

You call it the Triple C Tour, Columbus, Columbus Cincinnati and then what's the other one? Not Canton. That's where they have the Hall of Fame Did he go to Cleveland and he can hit that's it Cleveland you get nice What's it? What's the I forget this? What's it called, Jake, the theme park? Skyline Chili. Cedar Point. You guys Cedar Point, hit some roller coasters. Yeah.

Do a nice nature walk. I mean dude, Cabo is a good move though. I gotta say, are you guys gonna go to night clubs? You can go to clubs in Cabo, go to freaking El Squidero, pretty fun. There's the lifeguard there making you dance, rip some shots, go to Nowhere Bar if it's still there, downtown Cabo, pretty sick. They take cash, you don't need to exchange for pay cells or anything. Yeah, I think JT's itinerary makes a lot of sense for our group.

Yeah. I think JT's itinerary makes a lot of sense for our group. Yeah. Did you guys all get- You could have a golf day. A golf day you guys all get on a banana boat? You can go banana boating. We did banana boating, it was super fun. The ATVs are fun out there.

Yeah. You know, ATVs have like evolved now where they're not like the kind of open wheels ones we all grew up on. They all have like roll cages now and they're more like cars. So it's a lot safer. You don't have as big of a injury risk as it used to be. I guess another part of the equation is that

I'm saying 15 to 20, but it'll probably be actually 20 guys. Is that too large of a group to roll through Cabo? It's tough. I mean, that's too large of a group for a bachelor party almost period, unless you're like in a billionaire class where you can take care of all the amenities for everybody. But you know what, brother?

That's just you, man. You don't play by the rules. You got a lot of friends, you got a lot of love, and you wanna make sure everybody's invited. So you gotta just go for it. I think, again, that's why Cabo's a bit cheaper. You can get probably two houses next door to each other, split it up 10 and 10.

You don't want 20 guys in the same house in your mid 30s. Cause then, you know, someone gets stuck sharing a bed with someone who's like six, seven and snores his big old lungs. Dude, I mean, you, when you get a hotel in Cabo What's it what's it called?

I'm a certain hotel or an Airbnb when you get it when you get like everything's already like the drink is stuff I'm inclusive all-inclusive you get you know, it's it's it's well liquor. So be mindful of that But dude, I went to Cabo. I got a pitcher full of audios, motherfucker. Yeah, dude. And I don't recommend that because the hangover was brutal. But dude, you guys all at the pool, having like chocolate milkshakes and vodka.

And pina coladas. Pina coladas. And then you find some jet skis and you all jet ski together, you get bronzed. Dude, you go to Mango Deck and do a pushup contest with the boys. Mango Deck pushup contest. It's pretty sick, dude.

I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of a bitch to get there from New York, but it's pretty sick, dude. And you go to a pharmacy, you all get boner pills and you're all just a pharmacy you all get boner pills in the yard Just walking around with boners. Mm-hmm Chad is Cabo the sickest Mexican beach. Oh Yeah Because can't Coon is a lot easier for us did can't kids tight what what

Kicking to whack What? What? Cancun's whack. I went to Cancun. It was cool. It's more tropical. Cabo is more like SoCal. Like what time of year are you actually planning on going? Probably like February. It actually might be kind of cold. Could be. Cabo? Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, it'd be a little chilly. Could be a little chilly.

You know what? Actually that does kind of swing Miami. Yeah, I'd be a little Chile. Could be a little Chile. You know what, actually that does kind of swing Miami. Yeah. Cause Miami's gorgeous that time of year. You know what, you should go to Miami. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, sorry. Yeah, I think it's pretty clear. You should go to Columbus.

Yeah, I can't believe Montreal was even on this list. I don't know about Montreal though. We took a poll. Jake created a poll in the Twitch chat and everyone's saying Cabo. Except one guy said Miami, one guy said Columbus. Columbus, good call. But 86%. It's overwhelming. Cabo.

Dude, Columbus has good escape rooms. Go to an escape room. There you go. I'll let you guys know when we're there. You can join us. Dude, Columbus has good escape rooms. Go to an escape room. There you go. I'll let you guys know when we're there. You can join us. Yeah, dude.

Send a photo of you guys at the mango deck. The mango deck's beautiful, dude. It's a beautiful place. I love it. Dude, bringing up the mango deck just got, because literally I was thinking of Cabo and honestly my first thought was like hangover. I was just thinking of being hungover. But then you brought a mango deck and I am fired up.

So when's the best time to go to Cabo? Should I push it up? Should we go next week? Next month? Yeah if you're going in September. Yeah don't go in the summer. No yeah. It's too hot. I think like I think like mid to late fall is good. winters honestly good. I've gone for Christmas before Spring is good, but I don't know if you want the spring break crowd, but dude if you go in October You're gold Best time is it cobblos made of June When the winter time crowds are gone. Oh, no, I don't agree with it. No, dude, US News and Travel. Some schmoll wrote that, dude. Yeah. Oh, early fall is hurricanes. Our buddy did get trapped there in a hurricane one time. That's true. Early fall is hurricanes. Yeah, maybe not

early fall then. We'll appreciate all the advice, boys. Thanks for bringing the stoke. Have fun man. Dude, congrats on the wedding dude. On your dank fiance dude. Yeah dude. Or is it your wedding or no? It's one of your boys. You're just planning it.

No, it's my buddy's wedding. Okay, nice nice. Well, congrats to you bro. All right, have a good one, Balea. You too. Scott's still is a low key pretty sick city too, actually. People do that. People do Nashville.

Palm Springs was sick. It's fun, Mellow, dude. That was a nice Mellow. Sounds like these guys want to rage. Yeah. But I can't help but pitch them Columbus, dude. Just a city with good wifi. Yeah.

Easy to get to. FaceTime your wife, what up? Hit a brewery with the boys, day buzz, watch some sports. Like I loved Chris' bachelor party. Was like week one of NFL. It's amazing. We went to like a yard house. Where'd you guys go?

Palm Springs. Had a sick house. Dude, Palm Springs is sick. It's awesome, dude. It's fun because you get a good compound, you hang with the boys, maybe you grill some steaks. If you want to go out to a nice dinner, you can. And then there's golf in the day, there's chilling by the pool.

And then, dude, we watched week one NFL with the boys. It was so sick. I love it. It was really nice. That was a good hang. Great hang. Did a little shroom-omies, dude. Nice.

That was fun. You guys watching anything? I'm watching Succession again. Nice. Dude, it's even better. It's the best. Because now I actually understand everything. I think I, for a long,

watching it with subtitles is a game changer. Have you noticed that it's harder to hear things lately? Yes. I think we're just getting older. No, they're doing something new with the sound mixing. Oh really? Oh really? I think so. Interesting. I think there's literally something older. No, they're doing something new with the sound mixing. Oh really? I think so.

I think there's literally something either in like the production side or in the TV like presentation of it. It's actually harder to hear genuinely. Bro, I've been using subtitles. I just think it's cause I'm getting old, but I've been doing it. It's a game changer.

My wife will turn it off, but I'll be like, what the fuck? It's a game changer, especially with succession. Succession is, I'm laughing nonstop. It's the best. Hilarious. It's a game changer, especially with succession. Succession is, I'm laughing nonstop. It's the best. Hilarious. It's so funny. The writing is so funny. Dude, I don't know.

Do we really have like a relationship of substance? It's like the man dying of thirst is now a mineral water critic. What is this? Just dialogue. I love that. When this is good or I don't know, but it's important. When are you going to watch either one of the big S's, the HBO S's? When are you going to watch succession or Sopranos?

Probably when I get my colonoscopy. Is that on the books? Gonna be soon. Slow horses is coming back. Do you watch slow horses? Dude, I don't, I try. I'm surprised you don't like that. It's the first five minutes bug me. It's a little annoying

cause you know it's like gonna be a switch, you know. I wish it was real. I wish the, we could spoil the first episode, right? Yeah, it's been three seasons now. It's like he blows an assignment where like a airport with a ton of civilians gets blown up, but then it turns out it was a training exercise so no one actually died.

I would have loved the show if he did actually was responsible for all those lives being lost. But I'll tell you this, that is, and a pilot's tough. But they build it back up in a way. There's real stakes for every other thing is real stakes. There's gonna be real, that's what it is. There's real stakes. And dude, Gary Olman's performance alone is amazing. You're just like, anytime he's on screen,

you're just having, he just calling people idiots and shit heads and it's amazing. And he's like this like kind of slovenly guy. That's great. Only murders in the building coming back, fired up on that. So some good little false slate here for shows. Good to have a show with your, with your SIGO, you know, your dank wife, dank GIF.

We're watching the swans. Ooh, what's that? Feud Capote versus the swans. Whoa. It's great. It's great. Sorry, I'm off. I gotta check it. You guys got a sick tour coming up?

Got a sick tour. I'm joining for a couple dates, fired up. Dude, yeah. That's gonna be, we got Toronto coming up first, Buffalo, New York, psyched for those. Houston, Austin. You're coming to Austin, right? Coming to Austin, fired up to hit a little, you know, Franklin's BBQ, maybe a little Terry Blacks, do some comedy, let's go. You come to Chicago?
