Also wanna give a huge shout out to the guy who got us our new song, Dan McVeigh. It's an absolute banger and people are loving it.

So thank you, Dan, you're a legend. Thank you, Dan. The song rips. Let's start the show. I love Ben Stiller so much man. Ben if you're listening, I know you probably are. I love you Ben. I watched Meet the Parents again recently. It's so good to watch in your 30s when you're actually like, you know, because I watched

it as a kid and as a kid you like, you can enjoy the comedy of it. It's all hijinks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now I can actually relate. I mean I have great in-laws but you can relate to it. Totally. And you feel relate to it. Totally. And you feel his nerves and his pain. It's more real.

It's way, yeah. And Owen Wilson. He's so funny. He's the best in the, oh yeah, she's a tomcat. Yeah, the movie, when you watch it now, you feel the disrespect of it more too. Yeah, yeah. Like you're kind of like mad at his girlfriend for dragging him into these situations.

Like she's like nice spike Iceman and like the ex-boyfriend saying how they used to bone and stuff. I mean, I'm sensitive. I'd make a scene. It's just a game, fucker. Yo, Florence Nightingale here could protect the net. One set was a big shot.

He looks good too in his little Speedo. Stiller's got a rig on him. He does have a rig. Yeah, he's shredded. He's always been shredded. More shredded than a Julianne Sallet. And he is like kind of that one comedic actor who's been kind of unabashedly,

you know, passionate about his rig. And he's the one comedic actor unabashedly, you know, passionate about his rig. And he's the one comedic actor who is passionate about his rig that stayed funny. Yeah. Because if you're Chris Pratt, you just stopped, but you just chose rig over humor. Right. Stiller's the rare dude who could be like, nah,

rig and humor. Yeah, argue, like, Kumail. Gone. Yeah, dude. He's just, I mean, he's so jacked though. It's totally worth it. Dude, I was kind of sarcastic to him at our standup show. What'd you say? Not to flex, dude.

He was in the green room and like, he came, you know, like he did the star thing where he kind of had a handler with him and they're like, when's Q-Mail up? I'm like, oh, he's up in like five. And I was on top of it. I wanted to do a good job and like be professional. I was like, he's up in five. And then Q-Mail came Kumail up? I'm like, oh, he's up in like five. And I was on top of it. I wanted to do a good job and like, be professional. I was like, he's up in five. And then Kumail came into the green room and he, you know, when it's like the most famous person, the energy just kind of starts to swirl around them and he

was talking and stuff. But I don't know. I was just like, there was just like a little lull on his good dude. What's the regiment? And then it got awkward for a second. Then he just started talking about something else. Really? But Alec Flynn was there and he like nudged me like, dude, that was ballsy if he'd asked me. I don't even know why it was ballsy, but Flynn knocked me a little bit.

It was like, respect, dude. He said something. Did he tell you about his regiment? No. What, he just looked at you? He just looked, cause I was being a little bit sarcastic cause he was talking about something totally different.

Right, wow. Damn. If you guys ripped as Kumail, would it change you? Yeah, for sure. In a good way, I think I'd just feel good. Like I'd be buff and hot and people like that and I'd probably enjoy the attention. Yeah.

Like people looking at me all the time, that'd be nice. Well, would you would you get a handler? No, that's tough, dude. I don't know. You know what? If it was because when you picture it, I probably I might I might.

But like when you say handler, it's like I can't imagine hiring someone to be my handler, but I can imagine having a friend who's like a great guy that we get along super well. And then I just get more famous and I'm like, oh, I need someone to like run interference. And I'm like, dude, you do it.

And it won't be like, you're my handler, you're my buddy, but you'll also do my handling. But what if you're just buff and you're like, I need a handler cause I'm just buff. And people are like, how do you, you have a handler now? You're like, yeah, I can't even afford him. But I'm just so buff. I need someone to kind of ask people

when I'm up at this show. You know, dude, honestly, that's so wack to get a handler if you're buff, because you get buff so you can handle. To handle, yeah. But that's like, that's the ultimate flex, where you're like, I'm so buff that I only handle the things that buff guys need to handle.

Yeah, you can get so buff, you need a bodyguard. Exactly. Because people are going to try you all the time. Yeah. A buff dude got in my face in Jackson. I was in Jackson Hole like a week ago. And I was just in my own world. I was arguing with some friends on text about where we were going to stay for our fantasy football draft. I was just in my own world. I was arguing with some friends on text

about where we were gonna stay for our fantasy football draft, I was pretty mad actually. And then I wasn't actually mad because the guys listened. I was just joking around, but I was in y'all's asses. You were mad, I was there. Dude, fuck. Yeah. Okay, so I was taking plates off one machine

and moving them onto my machine. This frigging dude, size of a mountain, just comes over so aggro, eyes bulging, she goes, those are my plates. And I go so aggro eyes bulging she goes those are my plates and I go what and he's like those are my plates and I'm like dude. I didn't know and he goes well move them and I go Hey, you're a little heightened chill and then he's like I'm heightened and I was like, yeah, you're like being too intense I'm like I didn't know man He's like well do you see my towel there and he did have a towel on the machine Which is you know the universal language for someone's using I was like, well, do you see my towel there? And he did have a towel on the machine, which is, you know, the universal language

for someone's using it. I was like, dude, I didn't notice it. Just come on, man. And then, and then I did move the plate, so he won. But afterwards I was more mad at the text thread and I was texting him, my hands were shaking and he saw my hands like kind of shaking. And he was like, and he felt good about himself.

And I was like, damn it. Cause I wanted to go up to him and be like, dude, my hands aren't shaking cause of you. They're shaking cause of this. I'm so frustrated by the text thread. And he felt good about himself and I was like, damn it. Cause I wanted to go up to him like, dude, my hands aren't shaking cause of you. They're shaking cause of this. I'm so frustrated by the text thread. And he felt good about himself. Cause I wanted to be like, dude, it's not cause of you. Did his handler approach you?

Yeah, he did have a handler. Damn. She's a bodacious babe. No way. Yeah. Wow. She came over and she's like, hey, Brock is mad.

And I said, and I'm like, cock isn't. I didn't say that. I just told her it's all right and then I've left. You said it with your eye contact though. I do stare. Yeah. So you're upset with your fantasy squad. Is everything resolved now?

Where are you guys at? We're doing an Airbnb, which is what I was supporting. So we're going to Las Vegas. Half the guys wanted, or smaller contingent, a third of the guys wanted to stay at a hotel. Two thirds of us wanted to stay at an Airbnb and we were battling it out. My thing was a big part of our fantasy drafts is we all hang out and watch movies together. We all cook together and there's no common area for us in Vegas because we weren't gonna get a suite. We were gonna get like five separate rooms.

And I was gonna say the groups were gonna splinter too much that way. And then the guys were like, why go to Vegas and stay in an Airbnb? You wanna be at the casino, you wanna be in the action. I was like, I totally agree with that. But it's also about keeping costs down. Like, waters at a casino cost $9.

Meals cost like $25 for a chicken sandwich. I was like, let's stay in Airbnb, we can cook and do all this stuff. So I started calling those guys elitist. They started saying that, and I was saying I always do the best parties, so I should be in charge of this. And they were like,

but you threw those parties for yourself. They started saying I was doing it out of ego. Well, that's actually a good topic that Vegas is kind of pricing everyone out. And I follow like Vegas TikTok, the insider knowledge and like all the casinos are kind of, are in the, a lot of them are struggling. Really?

Yeah, because maybe it's after effects from COVID, but they, or maybe it's because they've been bought up by these corporate conglomerates and they've jacked the prices up. So most people, like the elites can only really afford to go to Vegas and enjoy the amenities because now, back in the day, you could go get like $2 buffet,

you know, roll some craps and it was like affordable for most people to go to some casino. But now it's like you've got like, you know, Resorts World and all these others where it's just like most people are like, it's like, it's like Disney World is like Disney World is pricing everyone out too. It's crazy. I mean, cause like a lot of those I don't know what the the floor is maybe we could look it up. Are most the tables at Resorts World like 50 bucks a hand? Maybe yes it's something like that or even just it's probably there's probably some 25s but sometimes you go to those places

and there's only like one or two 25 tables and you're like if you bring like 300 400 bucks like a good chunk of change to play blackjack you're like dude i could lose this instantly instantly and then on top of that the food is expensive that's the biggest rip the gambling i'm almost okay with yeah but the food where it's like nine dollars and you can do a costco run and like there's ways to get around it but if we're if we're doing Vegas for the week and I'm like They're like dude. The rooms are only 150 a night. I'm like cuz that's not where they get you Yeah, they get you on the other stuff. Yeah, they get you on the chicken sandwiches. I mean I

it is a It's one of the biggest things that's been bumming me out lately is like, because my dream is to take my family on a sick Disney World vacation. That is your greatest dream. And you know, you're the only one. That's that's that's that's my fear. Yeah, good. Good. Yeah. Now, I don't like when other people are trying to do what I want to do because, you know, then everyone's trying to do what I want to do because I'm, you know,

then everyone's trying to do it. They're going to keep jacking the prices up. You're a maverick. That's true. Yeah. That is true. Yeah. You're not so competitive. That's the main thing. And I'm not even really joking here. That's the main thing that drives me.

Sure. Fuck. Yeah. You got your reason. You need that. It's like, it's not yachts. It's not, although I do think public yachts is still something I'm very passionate about, but it's not, you know, it's not to have like a mansion. It's to do a sick Disney vacation at the Tahitian Resort or the Grand Floridian and just splurge and be like,

get the churro. Yeah, we're doing Mickey's waffles. Yeah, I'll ride the Space Mountain three times, stuff like that. Yeah, not having to worry about what you're spending on, just don't even think about it. Yeah. Just like kids, it's everything you want,

whenever you want it. That's what this week is for. You're getting two lightsabers. But they're making it more difficult. I think that's a good dream. Yeah. Scott Besson talked about that in a recent interview, the head of the treasury.

Oh yeah? Yeah. Disney World? Yeah, he was like, you know, we've lost track of what we're actually fighting for in the American dream. We're like, people are worried about inflation and like consumer goods. He's like, that's not what it's about.

It's about being able to do one whole week at Disney World, getting whatever you want, whenever you want it. That's the American dream. You must feel good then that he's in a position of power and that he's trying to drive us. It's nice that I've got the Treasury on my side. Big. Yeah. That's what I mean. Next, next election site. Nice. It must be nice.

Yeah, dude. Next election cycle. That's that's what someone should run on. Can't believe it's almost honest. The midterms are coming around, doggy. Did you see Morgan Wallen walked off? Yeah. Yes and no. Yeah, that was funny.

I was, I didn't care about that. I was more offended by his story, take me to God's country. I'm like, well, that's a little unfair because we have In-N-Out. So how do you know SoCal is in God's country too? It felt like exclusively, I felt excluded. Yeah, and it read to me like he wants to have it both ways.

Like he's like, I'll do SNL and be with like the hobnobbers in New York but I'll take every chance I can to kind of like Flex to my hometown crowd that I'm that I don't like it and that I'd rather be with them I'm like, well then why go dog? Yeah, I understand. Maybe his agents pushed him into it, but Maybe I'm giving him too much the benefit of the doubt with that like you're Morgan Wallin. You can do it You want dog? Do you think he's cool? Do you think he's a small? um

God I would bet he's probably a small. Yeah, I like his music I think some of it's like too earwormy, but some of I listen the shit out of it. It's I love music My top whatever most listened to of last year. Yeah Is there anybody that's that famous that's not a smallmol? That's what I was gonna say too. Like I think Zach Brian is probably a shmol, but like that's just part of the deal. Yeah. Like that's, they're rock stars.

Rock stars are supposed to be shmols. Yeah. If he was a well, like Prince was a shmol in his own way, but it was more, it was more okay to be a shmol in the 80s. Right. Now we're like, don't be like that. Yeah, I think too, they make heartbreak songs. And then people are mad when they get in a breakup,

kind of like the Zach Bryan thing. It's like, well, that's his whole MO. He gets in a relationship for a year and then makes a whole album about it. Yeah, that's his creative process. Did Brianna Chickenfry put up a post yesterday, I think? Did you see it? No.

She was complaining about, people are tired of it too. They're like, move on. But she she basically said that like Zach left, like something they were at together. Like it was her big night. She had like a show and it was something where you'd expect your boyfriend to support it. And then he left and he went and banged some chick while her husband was sleeping next to them. And then he called her drunk

to come pick him up. Really? Yeah. And then like yelled at her on the way home after he like cuckolded some dude. And it was so nuts. Yeah. It's so awful, but it's so nuts that like you laugh and you're like, he sounds interesting. Like he sounds like a cool guy. Yeah. It's so gnarly. Yeah. It's so gnarly. And at some point you're just like, it's so gnarly. Yeah it's so gnarly. At some point you're just like it's so gnarly your brain can't even process it and you just tip your hat you're like that's a way to live. Yeah I can't even how does that even go down? How's the did the husband not wake up? I guess the wife I called him was like come over here and bonk me my husband's

like a deep sleeper. Wow. And then Zach was like, well, I can't pass this up. I got to go. Can you imagine waking up to that? It is pretty funny if you're like at your chicken. Oh yeah. Oh, what? Zach Brian?

Zach Brian? What are you doing here, man? You don't even notice your wife next to him for a while. Morgan Wallen's in the chair in the corner. He's like, hey, yeah, this is God's country right here. Oh, man, last night was exhausting. Yeah, you wake up to him playing a guitar, smoking a cigarette, serenading your girl

after he fucked her. Zach, big fan, can you get out of my house, man? Yeah. My parents are coming over. That's wild. Oh, man. Dude, have you seen this thing with the Yankees, bats? Yeah.

They've got 13 home runs in two games. It's so ridiculous. I mean, are they going to get outlawed? I don't think they should. You don't think so? It's within the rules on bats is pretty vague from what I've read. I Think if a if a small market team did this we'd all be hyping it up Yeah, like if the Oakland A's did this we'd be like moneyball 2.0

Yeah, what a genius innovation to keep up with the big dogs, right? People are hating on it because it's the Yankees, but I think they did it within the rules they I think they deserve credit not a Not correction. Well, so now Now every team is gonna have a torpedo bat They should and then I saw I saw Dave Portnoy's rant on it and he's like well now now the score of every now This is how he talks now the score every baseball game is gonna be a hundred to ten. Not that every score of every baseball game would be like a hundred to ninety.

That'll be good for baseball. Right, that's a good point. That's a good point, yeah. So you like more, if people are just hitting more home runs, it makes it more exciting. Even the results of it is like not the reason I'm totally in support of it. But I do think that's a positive

to me. It's that it's what they did was smart. Why punish someone for being smart? If what they did was it's the same thing with the tush push. Like they came up with something that was in the rules and it's effective.

And if you don't like it, you can either copy it or try to find a way to stop it. But like to just like make it illegal feels kind of weak to find a way to stop it. But like to just like make it illegal feels kind of weak to me. Yeah. Good point. But I don't know. If anything, it's driving interest in baseball,

which is good, because baseball is just not like when I was a kid, the most popular. But now it's like, I don't know, fourth. Yeah. I put it behind hockey. I think hockey gets more love than baseball.

Wow. I mean hockey is fun but I... Sorry baseball guys. I feel like every time I bring you up I trash you. I love baseball. Yeah, baseball's sick. I mean, I love when baseball's starting too. You're like, spring's coming.

Gonna get a hot dog. Gonna get garlic fries. This is kind of on the same page. I thought the world was ending last week because I saw like 10 fighter jets flying over my apartment right here. Whoa. And I thought the shit was going down, you know?

I mean, anyways, it was the Dodgers opening game and they were doing a flyover. Oh, that's always cool when they do that. Yeah, but for like two hours, I thought I was like, do I run? What do I do? Do I was I was at the Chargers game when they used to play it when it was San Diego and opening game and the Danian came running out with an American flag and then F-18s flew overhead,

dude, ready to run through a wall. Yeah. The guys were like, let's go. It was so sick. There it is. Look at that guy. How can you not love that? It's so sick.

How can you not, how can you not love, uh, how can you not love fighter jets? You see one flying. It's incredible. Dude, people get, this is a real, real hot take. People get too upset at the military industrial complex. Yeah, and? It's a bad thing. Imperialism is by and large bad. You know, subverting elections in other countries, not chill,

making money off all of our fighting, not ideal. But like if you can't enjoy American flags and fighter jets at a sporting event, you're just too in the weeds. Like I posted about Top Gun and kind of made a joke about how it's a good analog for our current cultural moment and people are like, it's propaganda for the Air Force. I'm like, no shit, Sherlock. If you're not smart, like if you can't simultaneously enjoy it and be smart enough to see through it, that's a rough life.

Think of how sick the military makes every day. Like, you know, forget war and death and destruction, collateral damage. Just- Forgotten. Yeah. Out of my head. Just the existence of a fighter jet.

Exactly, dude. Or a Navy SEAL. Or a tank. An aircraft carrier. A nuclear sub with Gene Hackman- I'm gonna bust and Denzel Washington battling over where whether to launch RIP Gene He was by the way. I was watching some Gene Hackman movies incredible one of the best ever It's so fun to watch and and who's like them. No one like that guy. No one like him. I love him

He's awesome America stepdad. Yeah, I miss him Yeah, fly fast eat ass fight win fly Navy. I love that. That's awesome um Look at this smarty pants in the chat nuclear thubs are super out of date Yeah, you got us, bro. I'll look into that shit, you bitch. But isn't that crazy that there's just nuclear subs in the OSH right now. They're just ready to launch.

They gotta be, they stand ready at all times. It's pretty exciting stuff. What did you see the Stephen A. Smith stuff? A little bit with LeBron. A little bit. LeBron killed it on McAfee. I thought he was awesome. I didn't see, I gotta see that.

And now there's this thing online where people just make songs about LeBron. They're so funny. They're so good. Making fun of him? No glazing him. Oh really? I never said glaze before. What's up youngins?

I'm with you. Is glazing positive? You never heard glazing before? I've heard glaze. I don't I just don't know. Yeah when you're glazing something it's like Like if you say like I love Disneyland. I'm like crazy glaze for like a grown man on Disneyland sick Exactly most of the time you're like this stuff deserves to be glazed like LeBron Disneyland. These are great American contributions But yeah, they just know they just like will take a song. Let me find one real quick. I'll send it to Jake.

If you guys want to riff on something else while I find this, I'll go fast. Stephen, he loves it. Yeah, he loves it. He loves it. He's losing, I think. Is he losing? I mean, maybe because he's getting more famous, there's no losing for it or because he's not more famous, but more losing for it or because he's not more famous But more relevant because of it. There's no losing in it for him but I think Lebron gets hated on too much and I love that he's like

Kind of fighting back now. Well, I saw that Brawny had a good game He's doing really well in the G League and he had a good NBA game too. Yeah. Yeah, I'm happy for that guy What do you think he said to him at that initial conversation? He said keep my son's name out of your effing mouth. Or he said like he's like he's like keep it basketball. You talk about me as a father. You talk about my son as a son. That's when he crossed the line. That's when things could get real bad for you Stephen A. Yeah. Stephen A. I was listening to Stephen A's pod for a little bit. He talks like a preacher.

Oh, he's amazing. He's awesome. He's so good at his job of just talking and it's not easy. I think one of the best parts of this whole controversy was LeBron just putting up an Instagram post at like midnight of Stephen A boxing and it's like shitty boxing. Oh, how it's so funny.

And it's at midnight. So you know LeBron just like sitting on his phone, like shitty boxing. Terrible. It's so funny. And it's at midnight. So you know LeBron just like sitting on his phone, like this is a funny video. It had 80,000 comments and over 5 million likes. Wow. I'm like, bro, this is just like straight up bowling this man's career out of existence. All right, play this, play these two.

I love these so much. Sorry if you guys don't, but Jake, I texted you to play the most recent one, I sent you. They gave up AD because they needed change. They knew how to say his name. His name is LeBron James. I'm talking to the man on the lake of Saran. I'm asking you to say his name

Sla-Bron James And don't mess with him, he can't be clever If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at the sky and say his name Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron, LaBron,

Ass clown text hotline number right now and I'll get you on. But before we take calls, I think there's one thing we're missing, which is Chad's marathon. I don't think we've talked about that. Oh yeah. Dude, I loved it. Yeah, I've been training since October.

So I did a 6K with my brother in New Orleans. Loved it. And then I started training. And training got kinda, I was, I was steadily training and then it got kinda interrupted by the fires cause I was like, I was like, I don't know what I'm breathing in right now, but. And then just with our travel and stuff

is a little bit hard to keep up. But by the time I got to the marathon, I was like, I feel ready. I've done 20 miles. I'm ready to rock. And I felt good. Dude, two miles in my knee started hurting. I was like, oh fuck. And I think that's part of the, I think it happens to rock. And I felt good, dude, two miles in, my knee started hurting. I was like, oh fuck.

And I think that's part of the, I think it happens to everyone. It's like, it's kind of a good metaphor for life is shit gets thrown at you and you're like, well, I gotta finish this. I can't not finish it. So my knee was hurting. I was like, oh my God.

But, you know, mile eight, nine, 10, I was locked in. I was like steady pace. I was like, you know, I was trying to make eight minute miles. nine, ten, I was locked in. I was like steady pace. I was like, you know, I was trying to make eight minute miles. So I was I was going. I felt good. Got to 13 and I was like, holy shit, I got to do 13 more. And I'm going in about mile 15. I was really I was gassed.

I was like I was really feeling it. My my whole my knee hurt, my whole body hurt. My legs were tensing up. But the thing I loved about it is the whole city of LA was out there. So they're cheering you on. And that was that, it gave me a lot of pride for the city. I was like, let's go LA.

People are cheering you on the whole way. And then people, if you stop, there's people on the on the sidelines. Is that what you call it? On the side who have like an icy hot spray that they'll spray. I was like, they're like they have like signs like I got the icy hot and stopped. I was like, my knee just spray my knee and it gave it like a little bit of a nice little tingle. So I was able to keep going and just, you know, eating my gel packets with all the energy and all that, all that shit.

I get to mile 19 and I was dying and I was like, and you pass the finish line. So I was like, you see people finishing, but you know you have seven miles left to go. And so you're passing the people who are finishing, it's brutal, and at a certain point, like mile 20, I like slowed down and stopped. And this guy's like, come on, man, he sprayed my knees.

He's like, come on, man, you got this, keep going, you're almost there. And I was like, all right, I kept going. And I knew I couldn't stop for too long because my whole body would tense up. I'm like, if I stop for too long, I'll start cramping up. I can't keep running. So you just, you had to keep going.

And, um, it was the first time I really like miles, like 22 to 26. I was like talking to myself out loud. I was like, come on, dig deep. You got this. And, uh, and, uh, yeah, it was cool. And then, but during it, I was like, why did I sign up for this? This is awful.

Like I'm dying. This is way harder than I anticipated. And then I got to the finish. I felt like I was going to pass out. I almost went to like a medical tent, but I knew you guys were there. And which was so awesome. Thank you guys again. Oh, it was awesome. Yeah. And so I met up with you guys. there, which was so awesome. Thank you guys again.

Oh, it was awesome. Yeah. And so I met up with you guys. I was just limping. I found you guys, you and Strider, and Strider's dank wife. And that was really cool. And I told you guys, when I first saw you,

I was like, I'm never doing that again. I have the video. It's really funny. Yeah, yeah. We roll up on, I was so proud of you, by the way. I got like tears in my eyes. I'm getting a little misty thinking about it. It was so awesome.

And then right before this photo, when we roll up on Chad, you don't know what he's gonna say. We're like, there he is, the big dog. And Chad just goes, I'm never fucking doing that again. Yeah. But then the next day I was on such a high, I was like, I wanna do it again.

And my memory of it is so positive. And I think that's pretty common for a lot of people. It's that type two fun, right? Yeah. Did I shit myself? No, I did not, thankfully. You know, good for you. I had a friend who shit himself in a 5k.

Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. I was like, you couldn't, it's like 10 minutes, dude. Yeah. It's like 20 minutes. Yeah, you couldn't wait. Yeah, I did not crap my pants, but I think I wanted to do Long Beach

or tried to do New York next. It made me respect, because you hear about people doing marathons, but I'd never been to one and you don't think about the physical toll that you guys go through. And then after going to it and seeing everyone just hobbled afterwards, I'm like, dude, it's fucking rough, man. It's a lot of stress on the body. It kicks the shit. It's 26 miles.

I'm a horrendous runner. It's a lot of stress on the body. Like it kicks the shit, like it's 26 miles. I'm a horrendous runner. So I was like, and then you were like pretty banged up afterwards. Yeah. I mean, you were in good spirits and you were, you physically looked good, but like I could tell your knees were hurting, your hips were hurting and stuff. I could barely walk. I mean, he drove me home and I was just hobbling it, hobbling home and, and I was just hobbling it hobbling home and and I

was out of it for like two weeks and Yeah, like I See I started working out again Last week and even then I like went try to go for a run my knee still hurt You're running hard spr looked hard to me it looked like. The sprints didn't hurt my knee, which was interesting. So I think like long distance it starts to... It's the wear and tear. Yeah, but the... Yeah, the sprints.

So. What was your strategy? Like were you, did you start off hard? Were you kind of coasting at the beginning? Like where did you kind of have it in your head there? You know, one thing I didn't, I kind of knew might happen, but I wasn't really anticipating was,

it's kind of hard to go at pace because there's so many people. So a lot of people are in your way and you're like, you know, and you, you know, I was trying to get like eight minute pace, but it's kind of hard to, you have to go around people and stuff. And that it's might've what, that might've been what hurt my knees. Like I was like kind of dragging. Going lateral and stuff.

Yeah. And then, um, uh, yeah. Wow. What was I also going to say? Oh, and I also, I ran like 26.5. It's 26.2, but because I also gonna say? Oh, and I also I ran Like 26.5. It's 26.2, but because I was going around people um Um Yeah, so I was clocking like eight and a half minute miles

And And uh the fact that you had to wake up at like three in the morning for it too Yeah, and then they bust you guys. Like you're not in your typical running. It's not like how you normally do it where you like go home, you walk the dog and then you're like, all right, I'm going for my run. It was like not in your normal flow.

No, it's a whole operation. But the whole running community is so positive. I really, I was really, you know, I met some really cool people and I liked it a lot. Marshall. The energy was electric. Like down there on like Century City where you guys finished. Stan Yeah. Marshall.

But like when I walked in, I was like, dude, this is fun, man. It feels like Coachella or something. Like people are just amped, everyone's in a good mood and it's like a hundred thousand people. Stan I can't wait to do it again. Yeah. It's a, New York sounds really cool. So you think you're going to do that one?

I'm going to try. It's tough to get in. They do like a lottery or something. A lottery. Yeah. But I think, you know, there's, there's a way, there's a way you can, um, if you know people kind of, um, Jack who are, he, I guess he knows someone. You're famous dude, you'll be fine. Can you guys give me a hand? You get recognized at the airport,

you're gonna be all right dude. Like I could help promote New York, we don't need promotion but thanks. Dude, my kids skied for the first time, and snowmobiled. Went to a Bozeman Montana, we had a show and I went early to hang out with my fam. And then me and my lady went to a, oh, and I got engaged.

Oh yeah, I proposed. Yeah, JT got engaged. I got engaged. Woo hoo! It was awesome. Dude, yeah, do you wanna talk about that? Yeah, so we drove from Bozeman to Jackson Hole, and my dad was like, you got to go through Ennis, it's the best drive.

And in my head, I'm like, my plan was when we got to Wyoming, I was going to have the photographer in front of the place we were staying. And I was like, who is that? I don't know who that is. And I was going to act like it was some weird weirdo. And then I was going to wave my lady in, and then she was going to pull out her camera and then I'd propose in the snow. And

Because at the end of this ordeal will be the loving moment. We're listening to love songs from about time, they're hitting me different, but I can't let it hit me too hard and just start sobbing or my girl will know I'm gonna propose. And then there was a couple moments where we're driving over the pass. Yeah, put up photos of the pass and like, and there's no cars driving in our

direction. I'm just like, and I'm like, I have sunglasses on, I'm taking them off, putting them on, trying to just see a little bit better. Yeah.

Yeah, even just taking my son around on a snowmobile, which I threw it, like when I was by myself, I bricked it taking a turn, but just taking my son around on it, I was like, man, this is awesome.

Yeah, I remember one time in Spanish class, I had a boner and I didn't even flip it up into the waistband and class ended. And I walk up to my teacher to hand in my assignment and she goes, she goes, adios chad. And then her eyes go straight down to my tent. And I go, I go, I go, did not. Classic wood, dude.

What's up, boys? How you living? What up, dog? I'm good, I'm a big fan. I saw you guys at the Toronto show Oh, yeah, we came out and started when you said we came out and started humping the air that was just magical Dude, thank you, man. Yeah, if you come to shows, you'll see me air hump What was that sorry if you come to shows this is just for the audience. You'll see me hump the air. I Love it. I needed it. It made my day. So it's beautiful. Hell. Yeah, I

yeah, I Was gonna say it's actually my birthday today. So happy birthday Thanks boys, I Yeah, I had a couple quick questions one. Actually, I can't ask you if my birthday was gonna ask you boys So before my birthday, I'm getting a party bus. Smart. Do you guys know what a party bus is? Yeah, yeah, we're not idiots. Yeah.

I was gonna ask you guys what I need some good dance moves for the bus. Me and my buddy have one where we kind of stand across the dance floor. And he kind like pretends he's pulling a rope and I put my hands behind my back and kind of hump towards him. It's kind of called a dick rope so it looks like he's wrangling me in by the by the dong. But what other ones do you guys have when you're on a party bus? I got two. One I'm borrowing from my buddy Ross and Daniel's where one of them would like conjure an energy ball with his hands dancing and the other one would just kind of be in like a Preparatory waiting for the shot kind of vibe and he would conjure up with the energy and then he would throw it and the other

Guy would get hit with it and kind of like accept the energy and that's a lot of fun It has a good build. Um, another one just off the top is if the party bus has a bathroom, have one of your boys like wait in the toilet with the door closed, and then you do like a solo effort and then at the end you kick open the door to the bathroom and your buddies on the toilet kind of dancing. I call that one the sand of all Schwartz. Cause it's, there's a similar scene from Vanderpump. Can we fit like, put like two guys in there

or work better with one? No, I think you could stack for sure. But I think you got to, you want to have the second guy on the first guy's shoulders. Dude, that's incredible. Well this- That sounds incredible. Will this bus have poles on it? See, that's what I'm hoping. The last one I was on had a stripper pole and that really changes the game. Yeah, I mean the night I met my fiance was on a party bus.

You were going ballistic on that thing. I was going ham on the stripper pull, you know, humping it, spinning, taking my pants off, just the whole deal. And I think that's what really won her over. So it won the whole party over. The whole place got hype. Dude, thanks. Yeah. So you think get naked then would be good. I think so. Yeah. 100% Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What's the ratio? What's the ratio? Yeah. I have a girlfriend but there's gonna be probably like 50-50. Maybe 60-40 ladies the guy. That's really solid. Nice work. Good job. It should be good. The single guy should have a good time I think. 60 40 ladies the guy that's really solid Nice. Yeah, good job It should be good that the single guy should should have a good time

I think that's that's that's key like even if you're in a relationship You want all parties to have a little bit of horny energy because that's just like a Charges everybody up even the especially the people in relationships. So yeah, make sure you got some horny people in there Yeah, like play a little pony by genuine on and yes, yes in relationships. So yeah, make sure you got some horny people in there. Yeah, like play a little pony by genuine on and yes. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. You got to have somebody who has a great playlist because you're going to be on that bus jammed in there.

You want to have somebody who has at least 20 song play. Definitely bumpers, you know, bomba. Yeah, you should put on puns, Zach Bryan and make everybody watch you bone. Yeah. That's good. That's a good idea. Somewhere in the orange. Yeah.

Maybe you guys get on the bus first. So as people are walking on, you're just boning. That would set the mood. I like that. Is that all your questions? I have one other question was me and my buddy just bought houses like a hundred meters from each other we're getting walkie talkies oh that's cool I don't know if you guys have any other ideas we're

thinking like maybe like a zip line from his house to mine or something like that but that's fire did you guys do 30 year fixed on the mortgage or what'd you get down with? 25 year. Beautiful. Nice. Wacky talky. What was it? Yeah, I think Wacky talkies. I think.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe just get some solo cups and some string. That's wow. That's a good idea to throw back. Do you guys have windows where you can see each other from them? There is a couple houses in between so I don't think so, but maybe if I got the binoculars I could probably. No, if that's the case I go tunnel. Oh wow.

Yeah, I like that. That's really fun if you guys both start building underneath, because then there's going to be that magical moment where you connect, where your tunnel meets his tunnel. And there's something about that subterranean finding of one another that I think is probably going to strengthen your friendship and your belief in humanity. Well, so you think we'll become a lot closer after that? Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Wow. That's beautiful. All right, Toronto. We love you, brother. Thank you. Thank you, boys. Good luck. Congrats on the house, dude. Yeah, thank you. Oh, and happy birthday. Oh, yeah. Thanks again. Yeah, thank you. Oh and happy birthday. Oh yeah, thanks again, thanks guys.

I appreciate that. That's what's up. What's going on man? What you calling in for? So advice from the bros. I just moved home. I've been living in Boston for a while.

I had a marketing job and I'm moving home now because I'm trying to do firefighting. Do what? do firefighting Do what because firefighting. Oh sick. I've got a couple seasons of wildland Washington State And yeah, just moving home. I moved back in with my brother and It's been good for the part that I'm doing what I want to be doing I just finished EMT school but during that time I had to break up with my girlfriend of four years. Congratulations. I appreciate that thank you so yeah I mean how do you guys what advice would you have somebody that just?

Kind of dealing with the breakup Not really for a good reason I was in careers, you know, I mean 25 kind of in between everything Was a change in location Yeah, yeah You know, she's going sorry. Go ahead Yeah, yeah, she was in Boston. You know, I was, she's going. Sorry, go ahead.

No, you're good. She was going to grad school in Boston and I'm just in Seattle. That's my hometown. I mean, I just got a guess brass tax, baby. I'm betting you weren't that in love with her. Maybe. I don't know, man. That's.

I think I always knew that this is what I wanted to do and when I met her I was traveling. So I thought it would just kind of be a fling, but then four years later, you know, that's kind of what happened. I feel like I definitely was. It's been like seven months since we broke up now and I'm still just like, dang. Really? Yeah. And you're obviously handsome. You're obviously strong. Have you been getting laid since the breakup? No, sir. Not one thing. I went on one day and I was like,

Whoa. So do you? She was a pretty like she's an attractive lady for sure. I had a crush on her in college. She was honestly like a girl. I mean, yeah, it was cool, but it doesn't matter. That doesn't matter. But yeah. Well, so why can't you guys do long distance? We had. So, I mean, she had been in college for three years and we'd been doing distance every break we had. We tried to see each other other So like we'd spend months at a time together Um, but I did distance for three years my man

Not fun Dude I would say Go all in on firefighting And go all in on cougars Cougars love firefighters fulfill that fantasy you know and Cougars love firefighters, fulfill that fantasy. You know, and I do 110% firefighting just be, you know,

knowledge up, you know, enhance your brain, become the most competent firefighter ever, enhance your body, get ripped, get strong. You know, when people, when you roll up on an emergency, people are like, that's the guy. He's strong and capable. And then, you know, go to a cougar bar and just be like, yeah, I'm trained to become a firefighter and just, you know, let some coog take you to town.

I'm trying to do a marathon here in June, by the way. Oh, nice. Oh, sick. Dude, congrats. You guys talking about that made me pretty scared. I just did 13 miles yesterday and I'm pretty broken right now. Dude, you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.

I'm stoked for the pain, man. Yeah. I'm excited. That high the next day? Totally worth it. Yeah. Yeah, I think Chad. That high the next day? Totally worth it Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think Chad Chad's absolutely right though like Cuz I'm I'm conflicted

I'm like well Maybe you should just get back together with her if he's still thinking about her so hard and from the tone of your voice it sounds like You're in pain about it. But at the same time you broke up with her for a reason You're young you're young you're trying to figure out this new part of your life it would probably behoove you to have some new experiences so yeah I think you really got to go get some pussy unfortunately man I think you might be correct I hate to say that but

like I'm just not that it's not like I'm just not that I, it's not like I'm not that kind of dude. It's just, I've never really done that before, you know? That's why I think you got to try it. And I trust you to be like a good guy out there and to not like be, you know, uh, callous with people and, and, and, you know, cheap with people. But I think you need to explore that part of yourself. And then if you do go back, at least you go back knowing you did it out of genuine desire rather than out of just fear of the other thing.

Okay. Oh yeah. I kind of need to hear that man. Thank you. But there's that and there's also this part of me, there's a little nagging part in the back of my head that's like, man, you're, you don't even, like I'm a swim instructor right now.

So that's cool. But like you do it. Thanks, man. I tried it. I mean, this is what I've been doing for like five months since I moved back. Right. So that's in the last five months. Yeah. So I just kind of think, man, I'm just a swim instructor who's really going to want to get me. That's kind of a little nagging part in the back of my head, you know I hate to say it cuz you're hard on yourself. You feel like you don't got the kind of job to pull a gal I'm not gonna lie like The two girls I've dated have been pretty you know, like successful girls and I think I'm kind of getting my head about it Oh, no, dude. Don't there's

Plenty of people who? Cuz you're it sounds like you're athletic guy. I'm betting you're pretty hot. You sound like a pretty good looking guy. Um, how old are you? 25. Dude, you're fine. Yeah, you're fine. Yeah. You're not, you're not trying to sleep with Madeline Albright. You're just going to go get, just get a gal at the bars and yeah, you'll be all right. And that's why I say cougar.

I mean cougars are looking for some young cubs to take to town and you know, and it can be, I think it's more likely to be no strings attached kind of like I need to explore myself and they're like well, Explore on me dog. Yeah, that's why, good thing you hit up. Good thing you hit up me Virginia. Um, she's Virginia. Yeah. I'm trying to think of some that's a great name and dude, you're super right on too. Cause that's very mutually beneficial. It's like, he's just trying to figure himself out romantically, sexually, erotically. Yeah. And this woman is looking for the same. Yeah, and she won't freight him with expectations Yeah, as easily as someone else might yeah that that is

Yeah, and but also don't be so hard on yourself, man. You're you sound very intentional You're becoming a firefighter. You can say that during the date even if it's not like totally official I don't think an aspirational lie is the same as a flat out lie. You can quote me on that. I think, don't be, you got plenty to offer. I wouldn't go into these situations feeling like you're behind the eight ball. You're doing very well. Yeah. When he described to us what you were doing, we were all impressed and we were fired up on it. It fires me up hearing about it. You're a swim instructor and you're becoming a firefighter.

you know you guys are all worth the damn and you're all good guys and and The world is better off because of you.

I mean, this is, you know, maybe my experience, but like years, years go by. And then finally one day you're just like,

bro, we were both kids, who cares? Yeah. Like, talking about breakup. Yeah, just in general, like one day it won't hurt, you know? So like you just kinda gotta keep bettering yourself and then one day it'll just be like, whatever. Yeah, no, as Nietzsche would say, be grateful for the pain,

What kind of what kind of bird is it? It's smaller than a pigeon, but it's bigger than parakeet. I think it's like a singe. I'm not a bird guy. Sounds like a a pootie pitch Pootie pitch. That's why I'm in my car. Hawaiian for nuisance First off I'm totally on board with this slingshot thing. You gotta take care of biz. Just scared though, you know.

I didn't know it was you guys. What's up, bros? Whoa, dude, you just took us through a giant... What was that?

Why did you talk like that in the office? I'm working on like a floor for an investment bank. It's not the chillest vibes, so... Yeah, that's my fault. Bad vibes. Is that how you guys normally talk to each other? Yeah, it's just straight whispers. So just walked into an office, but.

Well, what'd you say? I'll talk to you guys. What, what, what were you saying? I thought I was a telemarketer, so I just kind of rattled my name off and I'm just used to a machine coming, but I didn't really realize it was you guys. Not my fault. You work at a venture capital place? An investment bank.

Investment bank. What do you guys invest in? We're just like a middle man, honestly. We don't like do investing. We just like help other people do it, if that makes sense. Are you making bank? Eh, no. But the team's kind of cool.

Fuck yeah. So what's that? How are you guys? We're good, chilling Fuck yeah. What's that? How are you guys? Good, chillin' yeah. What's ailing you? It's not maybe a huge ail, maybe just a little more nerves.

I was hoping to get your guys kind of feedback on what to do. Yeah, I got it. Or how to approach it. So I'm getting, my wife's pregnant. And I'm getting a tattoo Saturday, thank you to commemorate birth The tattoos can be on my ribs and I've just heard that it's nothing but painful to get to on the ribs so I was curious kind of how you guys would mentally approach it and

What music I should listen to during the tattoo to kind of help me out Trapped headstrong perfect Yeah, that's the song hundred percent if you don't listen to that then you're messing up Like on repeat for like four hours. Yep. Yeah, it's four hours. Okay Yeah, what they said, dude, I probably try and get ahead All right, I did talking to you brother congrats on the kid love you, dude brothers Nothing does does about all we needed to say on that one dog What we got full rod wants to call in and give an update.

If you remember from Brad, Brad's episode he called in and he was wondering what to do if you should move to Miami and go full Rod or. Oh yeah. Yeah, that'd be nice. What up? What up? Rod.

Rod. What's going on? Did I'm getting a little bit little feedback here, okay? You sound different rod Could you could you catch us up on the call with Brad real quick so you were deciding between Miami and what was your other place To move I think it was Miami. I don't know if it was anything else. Sick. Right. And did you move? An oil rig maybe? Oh dude that's sick.

Did you move to Miami? No. So okay. Right after the pod ended. Hang out. I was like oh fuck I wanted to ask you guys what movies I should watch to kind of like juice me up. But I've listened to enough episodes of the pod where I'm like, it's gonna be bad boys one, bad boys two, right? So I watch these films and I'm looking at these women

and I'm like, oh my God, I am not cut out for this town. I'm like, I don't know. It just doesn't seem like exactly my vibe. So I go to the next best thing. I go to Costa Rica with the fellas. Oh, good call. It's kind of the similar place. You know, you got full white linen outfit works. But instead of expensive girls, they have like monkeys, which are pretty sick, right? So they do. Yeah. Go to go to Costa Rica, get probably the most sick I've ever been in my life.

Crap my pants, my linen pants at the Airbnb, end up like projectile diarrhea off of an infinity pool at night right and I have this epiphany when my nose starts to bleed and there's blood and shit all over me and I'm like full rod it doesn't have to be in Miami full rod doesn't have to be in Costa Rica full rod can be wherever full rod is, right? Beautiful. So I've made the decision I'm going to New York. I'm going to New York City. Gonna bring Miami rod and be the Miami of New York City. Dude, I mean when you first said you bailed on Miami because you were intimidated by the women, I was about to wail on you were intimidated by the women, I was about

to wail on you through the airwaves. I know. You know, I was kind of upset with myself too. But it sounds like you really, Chad was going to dick you, dude. Above my scale. I mean, does that sound insane? Just like seems like not my vibe. It does sound like, I don't know if you're being legit honest about it though

like I can understand if you think like Like did you or were they just not your type? But you think they were like beyond because like for me like I know I can bang anyone Right, but I don't know if I want to bang anyone right Rod you were named Rod for a reason because you have a rod You don't think you could like you and like Sophia Vergara like you don't think you could pull To be honest, I don't To be honest, I don't know. And at the arm, but I don't know.

I'm not going to say yes or no. Cause who knows? Right? That's true. Like, I guess that's like good. I mean, dude, we might just be different too. Yeah. I mean, I mean you, you see Sydney Sweeney out in the wild.

You're not like, I got this in the bag. You're like kind of nervous and stuff. I can't really hear your voice. It's a little muffly. So you see Sydney Sweeney out in the wild and you're just like, you know, just spin. Hold on, it's worse. Oh. Is he nagging us?

Is it better now? No, no, I swear. So you see Sydney Sweeney out in the wild and you don't just start spitting game at her? Oh, I would. I would speak in at Sydney Sweeney. Actually, you know what? So I did. I did speak in at this model at a hotel in L.A. But she had a boyfriend.

So for sure, I go too far for her. But she had a boyfriend. So for sure, I go too far. For sure. But I, that night I saw, I saw Joe Morisi perform. And then the, when I walked into the place, I was by myself. The guy sat me next to this single girl in the second row. And I'm like, Oh, oh okay this girl's a little bit more my speed. She was from East Coast, not Miami, not Miami vibe, but I don't know just more my speed. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah for sure I guess. I mean for you 100% did you spit? Rob? Uh expand on that. Like did you say what up to this girl at the comedy store and where we at on that? I did yeah no we got drinks afterward it was a good time.

Rowski alright good work good work young buck. Roddy you can pull bro. Yeah you can pull, dog. Maybe not like with the homies, but you can pull. Wait, what do you mean? I mean, I'm just like there's you know, there's no disrespect at all, but I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable. Like if you came out with me, if you came out with me and the guys, you know, it's like I don't know, it's deep under the pool all night, literally and figuratively. So it's just like, you got to be ready to swim, dude. I think we got off on the wrong foot. I might have put that I

might have put out a different energy than I was intending. Oh, please clear it up for me, dude. What's up? Clear it up for me. I don't know. I just, you know, I saw, I was watching the movie and I'm like, dude, these babes are hot. It's not like I wouldn't approach these babes. It's not like I wouldn't be totally psyched

to bag these babes, respectfully. So you'd spit. You'd spit at Gabriel Union. I would spit. I don't know who that is, but I would spit. That's what's important. It doesn't even really matter if he knows. All right. So you're in New York now.

And like, how is, are you, I guess? No, no, no, actually I'm, my lease is up. I'm still in, I'm still in California, but I've been traveling around just seeing different cities. So just getting a taste of things. just see in different cities. So just getting taste of things. But so when he met this chick and she said, what's your name? Did he say Miami rod? I don't know what I said. Yeah. See, man, like I, I really want to coach you, but it's tough when you're not taking the advice and applying it the way that we've kind of mapped out for you, which you know is going to be 100% effective. And so my question is, are you gay?

No, no, no, no, no, I'm not gay. I just don't. I don't. I don't fully disclose I might be full rod, but I don't fully disclose all activities, you know, you're discreet. I will say I will say that first couple weeks after going full rod I got an SCI I Hooked up with a cougar. She was 41 and I told her I fixed it about it a couple weeks later And she just ghosted me. So I was like, okay, maybe that's a little bit. Maybe that's a little bit too much Well, she gave me the clap No, it was it actually wasn't that bad it wasn't even an infection

It was one of those were like there's no symptoms, but the doctor was like, yeah, you have something So you're probably gonna want to take this Antibacterial or whatever it was like I'm sure that's awesome. Dude. Yeah, that's awesome. Good, dude So I was I was out of the game for a little while but I'm back. We love you, dude Rod we love you so much I'm just I heard I heard the the firefighter talk calling it and I saw myself a few months ago

And I'm like dude this guy's this guy's just got to go Momentum forward can't be on his heels. He sounds like he's on his heels a little bit, but I haven't. I know that I haven't been doing that. Not on my heels, you know, so you're living. You're doing great work. What's up? You're living. You're out there.

You're engaging. Oh, for sure. For sure. That's good, man. And you know, you handled this well, too. We roughed you up a little bit. We're just testing the durability of Rob. That's what it is. We roughed you up a little bit. We're just testing the durability of Rod. That's what it is.

Communication's tough, communication's tough. It's all good. And you're a big dog. And so when you come into the kennel, we gotta see, you know, are you strong all over or are there vulnerabilities? Ah, dude, I got some vulnerabilities. Yeah, like.

Not the good stuff though. Yeah, go ahead Chad. I mean, it's like, think about it this way Rod. You coming to us and saying that you can't spit at Miami Tail, is kinda like 50 cent coming in saying, I can't spit on the mic. I can't spit. Oh no.

And we already sold tickets. I don't exactly know what I said. I didn't even know I couldn't spit at the Miami girl. You know what you said. You know what you said I I didn't know he said the Miami girl. You know you said know you said man Own it and own it. I'll have to rewind my bad my bad, right? But I don't know I just I felt like there. I felt like they're different Different league out of me right enough Shut up and then with his time Rod shut the fuck up

enough with this talk. Bro, shut up dude. Enough with this talk. Bro, shut the fuck up. Don't say that to me dude, because it's negative energy and it's contagious. And pretty soon I think I can't pull Miami ass. And that's going to hurt me and my family, okay? So just like, don't bring that onto the airwaves. We got kids who listen to this, I don't want them hearing that.

Then they're going to think they can't spit Miami game. You want some young buckaroo who's listening to this and Topeak it and feel like he can't go coast to coast with it you bring up a good point you bring up a good point yeah I'll really I'll rendezvous okay it's better it's better it'll keep working on my legs smart all right now we're kind of on a good place. You don't think so Chad? You seem pissed. I was just... I was expecting way different from Rod this episode.

Yeah, we do count on you dude. I was expecting you to call in with... You know, a G-Wagon and... Six bitches in it. a G-Wagon and six bitches in it. I mean, I don't wanna disclose too much because I know that some legit babes do listen to the pods that I've been involved with, so. Oh.

Oh, Rod, okay. I wanna keep a respect. Yeah, discretion is the better part of valor, dude. That's cool, Rod. Watermelon sugar, okay. This is the discretion is the better part of valor dude. Yeah, that's cool rod watermelon sugar This is the rod. I know thank you, dude. You said enough with that for me to know what's up Thank God you that was right.

He's tough to pin down, dude, he's a squirrely one Did he brought a good point when he said he couldn't go coast to coast with it? I? Almost left the pod yeah It was really sad and like really bummered when he was saying stuff like that cuz it's like I don't know

I root for everybody, but I can't have that in my life You should cap it there. I think we probably got to call it. I think Rod kind of blew my wad Yeah, honestly, I'm trying to like take the high road and be like, you know, everything's okay You know like stoic all that Ryan Holliday stuff But if I'm being totally sincere Rod kind of just totally ripped my heart out. Yeah agreed agreed It's gonna be a rough Monday now. But thank you guys for tuning in. Thank you guys thank you to the to the live streamers. Thanks to the chat for sure. Rod's in the chat right now.

Identify his full rod Miami anymore. Yeah Yeah, right if you're gonna if you're gonna keep it up with that s You gotta come in with soft rod Yeah, dude What's it to and where to go?
