What's up and welcome back to extra dosing? This episode is going to be about the recent episode of Succession and probably the whole
season as a whole. So spoiler alert. Yeah, tons of spoilers. If you haven't watched
Succession, especially the newest episode, do not listen to this. Also, go watch it. Yeah, it's good.
Shout out to McKenzie, staying late to help us record this. And it's, as always, the HBO TV show
expert, Mad Dog. Hi, I'm back. Yeah, so, I mean, let's just get to it. Yeah. Logan. May he
rest in eternal peace.
Yeah.
I didn't see it coming.
I made you watch them last night to get caught up about this, but I didn't see it coming.
I thought, because I was simpleton, that he would die at the series finale and that would
kind of be how the show is wrapped up.
Now that this has happened, I totally see it.
And it's like he had to die now in order for the succession to take place almost.
Yeah.
So I also didn't see it coming on the day of conference.
his wedding. I thought this was going to be like a fun, quirky episode where Connor and Willa get
married on a boat in the East River. And it's so funny. Like, oh my gosh, he's marrying Willa.
Like, I thought it would be a lighthearted episode on Easter nonetheless. And it was pretty much
the exact opposite of that. Yeah, Logan Roy is dead. I honestly, I kind of knew, I don't know,
this kind of didn't come unexpected to me. Kind of throughout this whole season, I was just like,
he has to die.
Yeah, I was like, when's he going to die?
Yeah.
Because the show is called succession.
Yeah.
But there's no succession if the king is still alive.
Totally.
I knew he had to die at some point.
I knew that was part of the plan.
I just didn't expect it to be thrown in at such an emotional point of the show already in terms of like Conner's getting married.
And they just had this huge discussion in the second episode where they talked to him for the first time since the Italy exchange went down.
um it it just i told you guys on monday before we recorded i think it's one of the best
pieces of television i've ever watched better than uh harry and bill and frank bill and sally
um it's so different i don't want to compare the two because i feel like they're like
the last of us in succession i feel like are my children as a show um bill and franks was
one-a-one-off episode, so it was interesting to see that from that perspective, and it was
emotional in a, some may say, good way. This was a culmination of four seasons of television
and took place at such a monumental moment in this last season. So I think this episode of
Succession meant more. Yeah. Honestly, I think it was great how they set it up because, I mean,
when he was at the newsroom in episode two, when he was rallying the troops and trying to set a
new vision, it really kind of showed, like everyone thought that he had a ton of life left.
They're like, this guy just keeps on killing it.
He just keeps on being the big boss.
And like, you know, when he was trotting around the newsroom, like pacing and, you know, Tom and everybody were getting
nervous.
And like Greg was just like, everyone was still intimidated by him.
No one would think that a guy who was about to die would still hold that gravitas and just like,
like boss man mentality that's just who he i mean that's just who he was till the end and i think
i think that again it just leads you jessie armstrong who created the show it just leads you
to see his genius because you would never it almost is like a distraction of like he's standing on
the paper at n he's you know still in the pgn he's going to sweden for to close the gojo deal
And it almost distracts you from the fact where, like, the whole show is about when he dies, what's going to happen.
And I think they did a really good job with, like, tricking you into thinking that it wasn't coming.
I mean, obviously some people, I'm sure saw it coming.
I was not one of those people.
But, oh, my gosh, I was sitting there on my couch, like, with horse blinders on, being like, this is not happening.
He's faking it.
there's no way this is happening right now
it was like it made you feel
like you were one of the kids being like
there's no way our dad is dying right now
yeah like this isn't real like this is also surreal
and they did an excellent job
I was talking about it on on the other line with Kelly
and she was saying like
they made you feel as if you were there with them
and experiencing those same emotions very well
which I appreciate
yeah like when someone dies
I thought it was a great depiction of what actually
happens when people die i did too i said the same thing i said this is this is how this is what happens
when people die like it's not some emotional like theatrical like and goodbye and he jumps off a bridge
like it it's messy and it's unexpected the rug gets pulled out from under you yeah and you what the
fuck you are forced to clean up that mess and i just the way that the the kids all immediately reverted
back to this child like state um and it's like it's what it is you you don't know how you react
in those situations till you're in them um i didn't think that they would all be so emotional when
he died obviously it wasn't they didn't see it coming and they're already at kind of like what some
may call an emotional event probably not for them but yeah um and that's when the shark started
circling as soon as he died there was almost like a power vacuum immediately where all the non
family members started trying to like put out a statement and discluding the children right it was
almost like the children lost all their power once he died yeah they're on the plane the body isn't
cold and they don't even know if he's dead carolina doesn't even know if he's dead and she's like well we need
to draft a statement for the press yeah and again it's it's one of those things too where it's like
it's sad that he died i guess i'm sad about it but like one there's so much business tied to this
two like this is what happens like you're like the the world doesn't stop spinning when someone dies
unfortunately and so you have to
move on in how they know they have to
they know they have to respond to this
like it's a business decision rather than someone dying
you know but every
every single second of that show
I was not sure what was going to come next
who do you think is going to like at this point
who do we think is going to be who's going to succeed
who's going to be the successor
I so I I've had a couple days to think about it I think it's going to be Roman or Tom really I'm still a team cousin Greg I know you are I think that um I think Shiv is shev wanted to take over because she wanted her dad to want her to take over it was almost like a stamp of approval
so I think now that he's gone like I think she'll go back to the politics world that she was in before she started at Waystar in season two
I think Kendall's going to kill himself really uh-huh and I can get into that why do you think he's going to go suey
because if you think about it he um a lot of what he rested his laurels on
revolved in what his father thought about him and so and he said it before like um i forget which
episode it was but he he was like i don't know what i would do if dad didn't want me and now
that his dad is gone i think that leaves a really big open door for him to fully spiral and
maybe not kill him maybe not kill himself or overdose um i don't i don't think he's going to make
it out of the season alive and then i think um connor obviously will not but um and then i think
roman one was in cahoots with his dad right before it happened obviously and so i think
that has something to do with it like he was already kind of in that mindset and then also with tom
tom was obviously basically judas yeah for uh logan so i think that has something
going for it, although people
I don't think like him on the inside
of ATN and Waystar
and so I think
I'm leaning more towards Roman over Tom
but Tom just kind of has that in right now
that the other kids don't.
Why do you think Connor's not going to make it out of the season?
No, no, no, no, no.
I think Connor's just going to go be Connor
and try to run for president.
I don't think he's, I think he's going to survive.
I think Kendall's going to not make it through the season.
So the next upcoming episodes are called
Honeymoon State's Kill List
living and living plus
so
kill lists
there's definitely
gonna be some deaths
or I think that's the will
yeah
which Kelly was mentioning today too
she was like I'm interested to see
what the will says
and I didn't even think about that
yeah I was more literally
just focusing on the business side of it
but I'm like what if someone's like completely cut out
like what if Connor just doesn't get anything in the will
I don't know
this is me just spitballing
but
what's up with Connor
his wife. Love her. Queen Willa. Love her. Is she just bag jaser? She was a prostitute. That was
high. Oh, yes. Then, then they, and then he fell in love with her. So that's why she's sticking
around. I love her. I think she's playing her cards exactly right. She found a source of, like, or not
income, but she found money. And Connor's safe. And Connor will never ever leave her because he knows
that he'll never do better
and she gets to make her plays
she gets to produce her plays
and I think she cares for him
I think she cares about him
I think she feels bad for him
I think she has a level of sympathy for him
that other people don't
and I just think
she's a funny character
I love her I also think she's gorgeous
you really don't think you could do better
honestly if you have that much money
like what?
But Connor is just so
so so so poorly
socially acclimated, that I think no one's going to push back.
Like, Willa will never push back on things he wants to do, like the whole running for
president thing or whatever.
Like, she's not going to challenge him.
And I think he likes that about her, is that she is just kind of like his trophy wife.
And why get rid of her?
Yeah.
Like, she's not doing anything wrong.
Yeah.
I think Kendall could have a transformation post-death.
and actually turn out to be the frontrunner.
Like, I think he might shed all of the arts,
like all the negative stuff that maybe was caused by the pressure of his father.
Like, he may go through a transformation,
feel like a weight has been totally lifted and then end up, you know,
I've heard that side of it too.
Yeah.
Cousin Greg still.
You think he's still going to take up?
Dark Horse.
How do you think he's, I don't think that he's out.
I don't think anyone's out of the count.
How do you think he's going to swoop in now?
I think that he's going to get propped up.
by who by some of the some of the people who like muller muller uh carolmuller yeah that character like that whole
group that was like putting together a statement on the plane they might put him like use their power
to make him a puppet leader that's most advantageous to them okay because he's a roy he could end up
getting the spot and supersede like he's not technically a roy like he's not roy by last name's
Last name's Hirsch.
Oh, yes.
But it is family.
Like, for example, they may manipulate the will and be like, everything goes to Greg.
Yeah.
I don't think anyone's out of it.
I think Jerry, even though, which I think is nuts that they try to get rid of her.
I love Jerry.
I also ran into her to Trader Joe's a couple weeks ago.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
I think Jerry has done everything she could and more for that company.
And I think she would be a logical.
Good choice.
I don't know if she wants to take on that role, though, at this point, because I know she did in the earlier seasons, but I don't know if she still wants to take on, like, the shit show that is happening.
Also, do you think the Gojo deal is going to still go through?
Maybe not.
Because I think Matt's in, I think Matt's in now with the stocks plummeting.
Yeah.
After they heard about the death.
How do they not short the stock?
The kids?
Yeah.
Isn't that illegal?
I feel like knowing someone died.
I feel like that's insider trading a little bit.
But like it's family.
I also feel like...
Is that illegal?
Is that? Look that up.
If someone dies, can you?
Actually, let's ask chat CBT.
I got a tip from some of the viewers that I could chat CBT.
Knows everything.
This is how we should be using it.
Like for these far out there questions.
Like, is it because you can't find a good answer.
It would actually be way better for the podcast, get way better succinct answers.
okay like for when I'm doing all this stuff
let me try it oh damn it
okay
something went wrong
okay
chat chit
is chat chbitsy just a website
like how do you use it
I think so is it I've never used it
I didn't know that people like people genuinely use it
Billy yeah Billy is no yeah and like other people that work here
yeah it's such a tool I haven't never logged on to it
I should start using I just didn't even
know that I don't even know what I would ask it no what I say to it but you can like Enrique
was telling me he had like something he needed to write like he didn't have it write it for him but
he wrote it and then it like spell checked and like it's like grammar yeah that that's what I
would have used a thousand like simple things yeah I like just didn't realize that that was a thing
I I've never logged on to it and I have noticed I just don't even know what I'd do with it
it'd probably very beneficial in some aspects yeah but I'm not I'm not even smart enough to
know what I could do with it to make it smarter for me. Right, exactly. Same.
Leave it to Billy. Yeah.
Okay. So let's see what Chad CBT has to say. Would it be illegal if your father was the CEO
and founder of a publicly traded company and you shorted the stock when he died and only you knew.
Yes, it would likely be illegal if you shored the stock of a publicly traded company based on
insider information you obtained as a result of your father's position. No, but he's dead.
no but yeah that would still be insider trading i'm not literally could the roy's have shorted
waste our stock we're saying after he died or you knew he was going to die you knew he was going
to die or he was dead on the plane yeah so it's illegal yeah that's just inside information yeah
yeah i know but even if it's like nothing to do with the company but just someone it is the company
it's the whole company cool okay it is the company he is the company this these are things you have
to know because you know because billy may be shorting stock sometimes yeah but yeah but i i i the
the the gojo deal again you you were a business guy in college i was not so this probably
makes a little bit more sense to you than it does to me i don't know how the gojo deal goes through
if it does in the same manner however much money that that was supposed to sell for just because of the
stock price is falling and he's dead well if the stock price is falling some like a lot of the
because mergers and acquisition banks give loans to buy the company and they back those loans
with this like with stock okay uh so you know they may not be able to have the like collateral
to buy the company anymore gojo I'm going to be honest this is a part of
of the plot that I sort of glossed over.
Yeah.
ATN's buying Gojo?
Gojo's buying Gojo's buying Oathsar and then ATN is in that umbrella.
Right.
And the owner, the CEO of ATN.
Alexander Scarsgaard who plays Luke Mattson.
And Kendall Roy's position.
That blonde douchebag.
Yeah.
He was sick in The Northman.
I didn't see that.
But he's a really great.
I mean, his whole family are like great actors.
Oh, man.
That was an awesome movie.
I wish we did a podcast on the Northman.
What's the Northman?
It's him just being a beast.
And it's just like...
Doing what?
It's Hamlet.
An American epic historical action thriller, there's a lot of words.
Thriller film directed by Robert Eggers, who co-wrote.
It's like the Lion King.
Prince Amleth is on the verge of becoming a man when his father is brutally murdered by his uncle who
kidnaps the boy's mother.
Oh, that is the Lion King?
Yeah.
Which isn't the...
Isn't Lion King based Hamlet?
Yeah.
Two decades later, Amleth is now a Viking who raids Slavic villages.
He soon meets a Cirrus who reminds me of his vow, save his mother, kill his uncle,
avenge his father.
This is literally Hamlet.
Yeah.
So honestly, let's just make this a Northman podcast.
So it's really awesome because they have a sick depiction of berserkers and there were these Viking warriors.
Wait, that's him and that?
Holy shit.
Yeah, dude, he's a beast.
Are those his real abs, you think?
Yeah, I think they definitely all juiced up for it.
And, like, they had this insane kind of homoerotic battle on the top of Volcano naked with swords.
Yeah, they were naked.
I don't know why they got naked, but it made it cooler, kind of.
Yeah.
Just like, because they were killing each other.
Oh, Willem DeFoe isn't it?
Yeah.
I love him.
Oh, Nicole Kidman's in it?
How have I got heard of this?
Anya Taylor Joy?
We should just watch it and do it next extra dose.
This does not seem like a movie I didn't enjoy.
Yeah, I don't know.
There's, there's queens and princesses.
The Northman?
And, but it's really cool.
Then he, like, battles a druid and a boat.
He kind of looks like Jesus.
Yeah, he does.
But he's a Viking.
Yeah, and he gets kidnapped.
And he's like, yeah, it's with, it's so cool.
And then, like, his, his, like, his, like, his, like, his bride, he, like, captures her as a prisoner and makes him her his bride.
But then he does.
This is literally Hamlet.
It is Hamlet.
Right.
And then he, like, he gets, uh, he gets his kind of wife pregnant.
I think he's not a wife.
Like, the slave girl.
The lady.
up pregnant and then he dies but like he lives on because she
yeah but she didn't know she was pregnant when it happened oh shit yeah it was pretty wild
okay yeah and then he like kind of like can communicate with wolves and he might turn
into one low key but it's like kind of it's kind of like implied that he turns into a wolf yeah
wow it's pretty cool wow well starts howling at the moon well in this in this show he's a douchebag
that wears Patagonia.
Yeah, the Swedish have kind of traversed from Viking warriors to douchebag fintech people.
Yeah, I hate, I mean, I hate his character in the show.
I think he's just a dick.
Is he Swedish in the show?
I think he's supposed to be like a Scandinavian.
Yeah, he's Swedish because they're flying to Sweden.
Yeah, yeah.
I always get those like Scandinavian countries kind of mixed up.
Yeah.
Finland is really different than the other ones.
Why?
Why?
like a language cultural perspective.
Okay.
They're like the odd man out.
Interesting.
They're actually Finland's closer to Hungary in terms of language than
Swedish or Norwegian.
Totally different.
Pretty cool.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's out there.
Okay, back to this.
Have you been to any of those places?
No, but I want to go.
I can see you going there.
Well, actually, I was in Denmark.
and I'm kind of banned from Denmark.
What?
Why?
So it's the whole thing.
What do you mean?
It had to do with the...
Anyway, it's not that bad.
I just have a ticket and I never paid it.
Oh, so now you have like that.
So you banned yourself so you don't have to pay it.
Like, okay, you know, it was probably like 60 bucks, but I was just like, I'm not going back to Denmark.
Honestly, fair.
I would like, if I one time went to, I went to school like by Cornell and my friend got a parking ticket.
and will we, from Ithaca, we went to Cornell and we parked there and we got a parting
day and we're like, we don't go to school there.
Like, yeah.
They're just never going to, like, we'll just never park there again.
That's true.
They can't find you.
Which is probably stupid, but I don't think we paid it.
It would be cool to go to other countries and commit like small crimes.
No.
They just never go back.
No.
Like, nothing like bad.
Like the ticket thing is funny because like, open container.
Seriously, if you don't go back, you'll just never have to pay that $60.
That's true.
true you can't get an open container a lot of those countries because you can drink on the street true
that's well yeah yeah they just don't care they booze hard yeah yeah in denmark it was literally
crazy like you just see like random Danish people just passed out on the street really but they were
like well dressed like in the middle of the day no no not in the day like at night going out yeah
it was like it more looked like a college drinking situation then it was why they're like
fully grown adults. And they're all just like chugging vodka and like dressed really well with
this like crazy like they all look like Lannisters. And then you just see like this dude with
like super blonde hair like dressed nice just passed out on the side of the road. And it's just like
dude like what? But they have no crime so it doesn't matter. I don't think they yeah I don't
think they have a reason to commit crime over there. Like they just don't see very healthy. Yeah.
I don't know if they're that happy. Really? Happy people don't drink that heavily.
I think there's like a cold
Or is that the culture though
Yeah
I don't know
Well you'll never know
Because you can't go back
Watch me like go back with like
Like a family
I'm like family
Right like your wife and kids
You're on like a European getaway
My wife's like oh like let's go to Denmark
I'm like I don't know about Denmark
I really want to go to Denmark
I don't know about Denmark
What's like a major city in Denmark?
Copenhagen
Copenhagen
And you just don't want to admit
Yeah
I really want to go to
It was $60.
And then like you...
Also, would they really know?
They might.
And then you step back and like...
What's Denmark?
Then you just get arrested on the spot.
Like, ah.
They're like, we've been waiting for you.
Yeah.
They had like your name.
Yeah.
Oh, Denmark's population is only 5 million.
They'd know.
Yeah, they would know.
They're like, we've, our records.
Our record show.
You think you could know.
The second you go through customs.
Yeah.
And also...
Your wife's like, this is why you didn't want to go to Denver?
Right.
She's like, why don't you just pay it a $60.
Because I couldn't figure out of it to pay it
when I got home.
I always like,
it's crazy to me
that these countries in,
like,
is that technically Scandinavia?
Yeah.
Are so little.
Sweden only has 10 million.
Ohio has 11 million people in the whole state.
That's crazy.
Sweden has 10 million.
That's why their social,
that's why their socialism works.
Yeah.
Because there's not a mess as much people.
And also it's such a homogenous nation that like you feel like you're paying for
your neighbor.
Yeah.
Because,
because they're like states.
They're all culturally the same.
Whereas, like, if you people here, like, everyone there, you know, they think they're upstanding
people because they're like, yeah.
Oh, my neighbors.
I'm looking out for people.
They're equal, yeah.
Right.
They're all kind of related, basically.
Right.
Like, where it's like New York versus Alabama versus New Mexico, like, those are all different
places in our brains.
Like, a Texan does want to pay for, you know, a Californian.
Like, there's Californians.
You're smoking weed.
Like, why do I have to pay their medical bills?
Yeah, there's a different culture.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What are you going to say?
Like, oh, the eastern.
Danish people
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah right
There's no distinction
Yeah you can't really
You can't really like tie them down
They're all one people
Yeah
But that's starting to change a little bit
Because of mass migration
Are people migrating there?
Yeah
Interesting
And then they're like
We don't want to pay for that
I think that
I don't know
We're getting into conspiracies
No
But like Copenhagen only has
6002,000 people living in it
Yeah
That's crazy
Which
It's like
That's like
Columbus has more than that.
Again, I don't know why I'm like centering towards Ohio here.
Yeah.
No, but still.
I also realize that Boston doesn't have that many people living in it.
No.
Because I was there this weekend and.
A lot of short guys.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That, they were so upset.
They were really upset.
Well, the thing is, be taller.
A lot of them are still, like, if you ripped on any other city, people would probably
laugh with you, but that's like the core demographic.
That's literally, I Viva a bit too close to the sun.
Yeah, you did.
They got mad.
Yeah, they got mad
Which I didn't say anything
What did you see
For those who didn't see the tweet
Oh yeah
For those who aren't following me on Twitter
Yeah
I tweeted I was so yeah
First of all follow me
No
But I tweeted that I was in Boston for the weekend
And that the only thing to do in Boston
Is wear your college
Your Boston College affiliated sweatshirt
And be under 510
I did not also
Specifically say men
I just said people in general
That's true
The girls are short too
yeah sure sure but I also joke can anyone take some jokes in here um not men the men the men
came for me which I get I guess what's it called Napoleon like Napoleon complex complex yeah
um no that was tough that was a tough one I had to I had to do some internal reflection like a lot
of the times I was talking to my roommates about that when I got home and I was like yeah like a lot
of the times like those like you know people are meeting me on the internet doesn't bother me that much like
you know, you got to, if you, if you, if you dish it, if you dish it.
If you dish it.
Yeah.
Like if, if, when they all come at the same time.
And they're like kind of coming for things.
It's like, army.
Yeah.
And they're like, you're fat.
I'm like, God damn it.
It's like, like, what am I supposed to say?
And I, I, I, yeah, no.
And then I just started, I don't know why I got in this like, like, like, I wanted to just
tweet all the time.
And so then I was just tweeting through it.
I was just tweeting through it.
And I was like, I, like, I, like, I, like, I, like, I, like, like, I, like, like, I,
I was like, I think I could get third
at the Masters. I tweeted that and people also
got mad at me for that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You might
just, you, I think I like, Riley
people up. That's kind of crazy, though. You, that's people,
that people are mad about that. I think that's, you were trolling
them. A little bit, I was like, also,
who's taking that seriously? If you, right,
interactions and interactions. If you, if you, if you, I want to be so real,
if you follow me on Twitter and you saw that tweet and you thought I was
serious, I want you to take a look in the mirror and like,
re-evaluate it. I, and I,
and someone was like, I'm humble enough to admit that I wouldn't make
the cut. I go,
oh, do you think I almost responded and be like, well, I am humble to admit that I
wouldn't win. I'd get third. Yeah. You know what's, uh, people were, people were very mad.
That and, that and they got mad that I reviewed air, the movie with a sleigh, a sleigh out of 10.
When I, when I was, when I was breaking out with acne, people just kept sending me acutane
links and like products. And then being like, are you on drugs now? Like, why, like, why do you look
like I had like meth face
I'm like oh shit
no it's like hard when like
when it's like true what they're saying
that's not the true part
I'm not on drugs no no no but like
coming for your acne like
yes that's kind of mean you're fat
I'm like I'm sorry I'm insecure
honestly it kind of hurt
it was weird because I never
had that bad acne growing up
so like for the first time ever
bro I made a TikTok about this
Yeah, I was going to say that.
Yeah, it was like an insecurity that I'd never, like, learned to deal with.
Yeah.
No, Billy, you literally saying.
Um, yeah.
So, like, because usually, usually what, like, people diss you on the internet for if it's, like, something, it's something you've already dealt with, like, growing up.
Right.
You're like, oh, yeah.
It's like when people call you four eyes growing up, like, yeah, you would do that.
Or it's, like, so silly that you're like, okay, why would this even bother me?
Right.
Like, yeah, I mispronounce words because I read them.
Like, I've been doing that since day one.
Yeah. Like, that's not going to, that's not going to be the one that, like, is the camel that broke the straws back. Like, hey, I had, I have acne for the first, like, really, really bad acne for the first time ever. Like, shit. Like, you're like, I'm like, shit. I work out, like, every day. I'm like, I'm trying to be healthy. And I'm like, fuck. And they're still calling me.
Should I wear makeup? Yeah. Like, should I get cover up? This is an inside look at what it goes. Like, when people, like, send us hate comments. This is what happens. Yeah. This is therapy. This is what the extra ghost really is. Just us talking about people being mean to us on the internet.
you know who really tried to get into it it was really funny white sox dave to you no to donnie
acne no no no donnie and white talks dave go to uh oh the dominican public yeah like they were drinking
it in a white talk say it was like people think i'm a fucking idiot online no he's like people think
i'm dumb but like i'm not that dumb like i've accomplished a lot i am an idiot and i was like what the
fuck is the just like you're not helping your case you're not having your case you're right yeah
Yeah. Yeah, that's, which I feel like sometimes I'm so, I'm so behind the scenes that like people, I get one hate comment. I'm like, oh, this makes me sad. You, I feel like you have, you. But honestly, if you're getting hate comments is kind of like, oh, I don't like, people like me enough to hate me. People like me enough to hate me.
Well, the thing is that if you look at like the numbers, like if there's a pie chart of all the people who've consumed your content. Yeah. And then the sliver, that's like your vocal haters who slide into.
DMs is like nowhere close to the majority. They're actually a minority. And that most happy people
just consume the comment. And then keep on and like laugh and whatever. I always thought it was
funny when I would like when I would do like my voiceovers like my little TikToks, people would be like,
I don't get this. Like it's not funny. Like you're just taking the conduct, blah, blah, blah. And then like other
people that I don't know would like come to my defend you. And they'll be like, it's so funny because
I'm like, I don't even know these people. And they're like coming to my defense.
before like I would never say anything because I don't really care no but like and again I never said
my things are funny I just do them for fun so I'm like why would I care but like people just random
people that I don't know they're like they're like dude can't you just take take the content or like
unfollow and move on like it's so nice that I know random people will come to you shout out to you if
you're defending people on the internet like people will do that to me sometimes or it's like bro like
she doesn't deserve that I'm like right yeah oh my god yeah thanks like I really appreciate you
today. No, I know. It's like, yeah, when that would start happening, it would be so funny because I'm like, why, first of all, why people care enough to even comment on this? Also, your stuff is so harmless. Exactly. And I never was like, oh, like, I'm doing content. Yeah. I'm just like, oh, I just did this for fun. And it helped me get a job. So exactly. Like, that's why we're sitting here today together. Right. Exactly. I know. Crazy. Yeah. But, yes, that's what we just needed to get hard. But it's just a little therapy.
You worked at MLB before this?
Yeah, MLB Network.
Billy and I have never had real jobs.
I had jobs.
I've actually had a lot of jobs,
but the thing is I get scared sometimes
because I'm like, holy fuck.
You're a line in captivity.
Could I survive in the wild?
No.
Yeah.
MLB Network was also like I was working in TV
so it wasn't really like,
it wasn't like super professional.
I mean, it was definitely professional,
more like corporate work than like,
job than this but the work was like I was editing like baseball highlight so it wasn't and like working
till like three in the morning yeah that's I was a really good lifeguard I can totally see that I can
picture you being in like bay watch yeah like with the red shorts and the the like hot dog thing
that people run with yes the life saving thing I was really good at I have three saves you have three
saves wow some of them but some of them aren't like real safe is that like a pool you count yeah
No, this is actually at a beach.
A Bayside dock.
Okay.
Same dock I met Jerry.
She taught me how to smoke meats.
Is that in the city?
No.
Oh, okay.
No, no.
I was to say that'd be a crazy, like, wait for you life for.
Saves are, you know.
Just getting people out of the pool?
No, no.
It was a beach.
So like one time, like a grandma.
It was like a base, like one time a grandma fell asleep while floating.
Oh, okay.
And I said, excuse me miss.
excuse me miss because she was just like out yeah yeah you could tell and she wasn't responding and i was
like oh shit so i jumped in the water and as soon as i jumped in the water uh and started swimming out to
her i like because she was floating away kind of she like got all startled and woke up are you counting
that as a safe yeah yeah i mean yeah i would yeah because like i saved her from floating away
people
Another save
A kid hit his head
Oh no
Getting out of a boat
And
The boat
He had his head
In the boat
They didn't realize
That the kid had fallen out
The boat
Oh my god
It was out of the swim areas
That's a real one
Yeah
And the kid was like
I jumped in
Grab them
But like no one was like
Unconscious
But still
That's a save
I'm counting that
Is a save
Yeah definitely
And then my last save
What the hell's my last save?
I think my last save was
oh no
it was a woman
a woman fell down the stairs
into the water
oh save
and then she was like
oh my back
and I had to like jump in there
and help her out
oh no
I'm counting those I'm counting those
they're not like that like
dramatic
no but I feel like
I feel like it's also very rare
like knock on wood
that people are like drowning
all the time so like how many opportunities are there really for like genuine like i worked at that
that doc but i also worked at a pool club and that was that was hard why well the thing was like
i'm i get hypervigilant like i obsessed like obsessively like check my surroundings sometimes
the trump the trump rally was like like that really was freaking me out because i thought like
that one dude do you see the video yeah that dude is creepy's fuck um
I'm really glad we didn't go with you.
Yeah, but I was just like, is there like something bad going to have it?
Like, I don't know.
So I would constantly just like, it would get to the point where there's sometimes
be like 40 people in the pool and I'd be constantly counting heads.
You have to, yeah.
Because you'd hear this stories about like a kid would go missing and the parents
wouldn't even know.
And then later that day they'd be like, we can't find our kid.
He was playing.
Like, you know, he usually goes off and swims.
And like, turns out.
at the end of the day,
everyone gets out of the pool
and there's a body
in the bottom of the pool
which is passed out.
Yeah, terrifying stories.
While you were working?
No, no, not while I was working,
but you hear these stories
in lifeguard training.
And that was like my worst nightmare,
like being on duty when like a kid just like,
kid's body like slips to the bottom of this
and you can't see over all the people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's scary.
To add to my dad's lore on this show,
he's saved three lives just in his day to day.
Oh, my God.
what?
One of them was at a Christmas party and a guy had a heart attack and was like dead and my dad
did CPR.
Do you break his ribs?
I don't know.
Another one was he saved.
He watched like a car, him and my mom were in the car and an old lady in front of them got
into like a car accident and she couldn't get out of the car herself.
And so my dad had to like rip out of the car.
car exploded like 10 seconds later oh my god uh-huh and then the third one
i can't remember what the third one was but it was something similar where he was like
kind of right place right time and maybe someone like the he'm like something like that but he saved
three lives that's crazy yeah so adding to my my dad dog file on this show happy birthday by the
Happy late birthday, Dad.
Yeah, but yeah.
Have you guys saved it?
I've never saved a life, actually.
I could probably not even save my own if I was nine.
My presence is a lifesaver, but not in a real way.
One time this, like my cousin, like distant cousin at Family Reunion almost fell into the bonfire.
Oh, that's scary.
And I grabbed them.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah.
Or some other, I have more stories like this.
Like, how do you have?
I think that's a guy thing because I don't know.
I don't think I've ever been in a situation
I've never put myself in a situation
Or also if I was
I would not be the person that would take charge
I'd become a pussy
I'd be like oh my god
I was at a boat tie-up
and one of my friend's fathers
because there's boat every
I think of boat tie-ups
Like when like you kind of like
You're on the water
Yeah he fell in between the boats
Oh that's scary
He fell in between the boats
Because they weren't tied up
And he like slipped
And I grabbed them
I pulled them out.
Nice.
And we don't really talk about it, but like he could have gotten smashed.
Right.
That's terrifying.
Yeah.
That's scary.
But no, I don't.
It was one of those things where I literally did like a quick deadlift of this like 200 pound man.
Right.
Your instincts just kicked in.
Yeah, it's like when it's like dad's strength or like adrenaline.
Yeah.
But like think about if someone else was standing close to him who like couldn't have pulled them out.
Right.
That's like, I don't know.
It's just freaky.
No, you're also like a big guy.
Yeah.
when you get like when you get like you know anxiety like people are just naturally anxious yeah
like those like in those moments like it seems like slower yeah yeah yeah but anyway
none of us were able to save Logan roy no they weren't even able to save him on the plane
um how did he die he was just old he had a well it's not like confirmed he had like a heart
attack or a stroke or something um on the private plane's bathroom oh no oh on the toilet
yeah like Elvis yeah that's tough hi hey oh hang come here hey come here did you watch Succession did you
watch Succession no why not yeah yeah well then don't stay in here do you need anything
have you saved any lives yeah he saved your life yeah he did um no but he had like like an old man
like heart attack stroke something of that effect and then um they like there were like
like the flight attendants on the plane
were trying to give him CPR.
Oh,
he didn't work out.
It made me want to call my dad.
Oh,
that's nice.
She's like,
I don't know.
Like, you okay?
You good?
You all good?
Really?
Are you exercising?
Yeah.
Are you eating heart healthy foods?
No, but I do think it's crazy.
Or not crazy.
I don't think that's the right word.
Very realistic.
Like,
he did not have a ceremonious death at all.
And he just went.
Yeah.
And I think Tom,
I think that was one of Tom's best performances,
not even as an actor,
but as his character being like,
he is,
I don't think any of them are good people,
but like him calling them
and putting the phone up to their ear.
Like, I think he was very empathetic
in that situation.
And then when he was like trying to comfort Shiv,
I also think they're going to have a moment
where they try to get back together real quick.
Yeah.
Or not get divorced, I guess.
Shib's single.
Shiv is single for the summer.
That move of hiring all the lawyers in New York, it's pretty wild.
So I listened to the podcast episode associated with this, obviously.
And the one from last week, they had a celebrity divorce lawyer on to talk about that and see if that was a real thing.
And they said that a lot of high profile, like divorce partners or law firms won't do that unless you have a very sound case as to why you want to do that.
Like, you'll have to schedule a meeting.
You'll have to explain why you'd think that.
they should be conflict out.
Like, you, you can't just, like, call and be, like, don't represent my ex-wife.
Like, there needs to be a bit more umph behind that.
I thought they took it, that he put them all on retainer.
Yeah, but, like, you have to, I think, make that known.
Huh.
So to other law firms, like, like, you can't just do that.
You can't just put everyone on retainer.
I mean, you would cost a lot of money.
You can't, as a normal person, like, that would cost thousands and millions of dollars.
but it has been done
wow that's what she said
she said in like very high profile
cases like huge
no rich Bill Gates
Bill Gates maybe
legally could you do it or that just some firms
I mean I think there's nothing illegal about it
I feel like some firms
is that like tampering no
if the money's right like if Bill Gates is thrown around
like millions of billions of dollars
because he would spend billion dollars
trying to make sure his divorce goes cleanly
yeah but i think that that did happen and again i hope i never have to go through a divorce but i just
that's that seems like a guy would rather just like get it clean unless my husband like fucks me
over on something but i'd rather just be like let's yes if you're going scorched earth oh my god
i saw this one video of this uh this girl cheated on her boyfriend and the boyfriend paid for the
flooring in
whatever house they were living
and he just had the flooring ripped up.
Oh my God. My mom's friend
did that. That exact thing?
It was like similar to that but it was like the paint
on the walls and he
like cheated on her and I think it was like
I forget what the situation
was but it was something like that or like
they lived in the house together and like while he
was gone she just like got
the walls painted like just
crazy ass colors that like nobody
would have like wanted.
So, like, similar to the flooring, but just like the walls.
That's so good.
I think that's so funny.
What's the craziest cheating, like, a way of, like, someone's gone back on a cheater?
She's heard of.
I mean, killing.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
I mean, I don't know anyone that's done that, but.
No, but, like, that's the crazy thing you probably could do.
I don't know.
I don't, yeah, like, I feel like I'm, like, hooking up with their best friend or something,
but that's just like...
I heard a story of a guy
took his ex's dog
to his shelter.
Oh, can you imagine
if that happened to you belly?
That's fucked up.
Yeah.
No, that's worse than murder.
Yeah, but they,
the other person cheated.
Well, right, but still.
Why wouldn't you just keep the dog?
Why would you just, yeah, that's your dog?
No, because then the shoot, like,
it was his,
their dog and
in order
it was something about to gain custody
he had to make sure the dog was abandoned
oh oh so did he get it back
yeah then he adopted
oh okay okay I thought you meant he was just like
but that's what he told he didn't tell her
that oh okay okay well that's fair then
but she thought was like oh my god
right right right yeah yeah that's good payback
actually as long as the dog's okay
yeah I don't really care about anyone else but the dog
I don't know I like I feel like we're all so young that I don't have a ton of like
people I know in my life that have been like cheated on and had to like go to extreme lengths to get them back yeah
like it had been like their college boyfriend shoot on them it's like okay just I hope he like chokes right yeah
but I don't I don't know a ton of people who are like going through that yet or it's such a
advanced degree of separation that no I'm getting at that age though Billy I don't I know you're at
this stage, Mackenzie, because you go to weddings, like, every day. But I'm at that age
where people are starting to get engaged and married all around me. And it's, it is reminding me
of my own mortality. Really? Are you seeing? I know you're my age. A lot of, to be fair, though,
a lot of the weddings, like, that I've gone, I've only been to, like, two of, like, my friend
weddings. Okay. Like, the rest are, like, I have, like, 25 cousins. So, like, a lot of
them's like cousins and like family friends and stuff um but yeah it's i'm like i feel like i'm not there
yet with my friends but i'm like getting close i like know some of them are coming they're coming
the engagements like it's none of my close friends but i feel like every day i look on instagram
and someone's getting engaged or i'll like see like people from my high school that like i'm still
friends with on facebook or something and they're like pregnant and i'm like oh my god like i'll text
my friends and be like oh my god did you see so and so was pregnant and it's like oh wait they
actually meant to yeah like that's not a surprise we're old enough yeah oh I'm oh my god
no I also think it's the Midwest and you like people like yeah yeah like you guys are
both from around like the East Coast yeah upstate New York is like Midwest yeah I say I think
upstate New York's the Midwest it has been best vibes yeah I also think yeah but I it is
starting to scare me when
Where is upstate upstate to you?
I think it's like Albany, which is where.
Really? So you think Duchess in Putnam County?
Yeah, no.
That's downstate?
Where is that, though?
It's like north of westchester.
Like Poughkeepsie? Yeah.
Yeah, Poughkeepsie's not like upstate, I wouldn't say.
Wow. I know a lot of people that say Poughkeepsie's upstate.
Because you're from down here.
Yeah.
Like people that live on Long Island are like,
Like, oh, or like any, like, West, people say West Chester or something, like, I don't really care.
My friend actually had a real, a girl I went to college was had like a super viral tweet where she's like, okay, here's what it is.
And it was like up to Albany or like Albany and Up was upstate.
But then like, but there's a whole thing because like Buffalo's not upstate technically.
It's like Western New York.
And then like that's a whole.
But like that's for people who live in New York.
Like I'm from upstate and I also went to college in Ithaca and like know about and like live in New York City.
now. So it's like way different, but I don't care if people are like, oh, it's upstate.
Buffalo's west New York.
Western New York, yeah.
But you could still like, but like, yeah, like someone from Ohio, like I would say
Buffalo is upstate. Like, that's fine because it's like, why would you care?
Buffalo's so close to me that we know it as Western New York because it's like literally
Buffalo's probably. Buffalo's closer to you than like Buffalo's five hours from Albany.
And there's like no. Buffalo is like two and a half. Yeah. If you're out from
Buffalo is the Midwest.
Buffalo is totally the West.
Buffalo is Midwest.
Like it's Lake Region.
Yeah.
It's on Lake Erie.
Yeah.
Is Pennsylvania the Midwest?
It's like different though.
Appalachia.
Is Pittsburgh?
Like Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh does not have Midwest Fives.
No.
Pittsburgh is Appalachia.
And then Philly is East Coast.
Yes.
Philly's like New Jersey basically.
It's kind of splits.
And then the middle of Pennsylvania is, who knows?
Who knows?
Trees.
Yeah.
Dude, I forget how big Pennsylvania is.
And then Penn State.
It's four hours.
It's crazy.
So whenever I'm driving cross country, the four hours in Pennsylvania are like, I think
not the worst, but the, because, you know, the, the plains region and like the cornfields
is almost novel to me, like all that big country when you get out west.
Yeah.
But Pennsylvania, to me, could be upstate New York, could be.
Yeah, you wouldn't know.
But then once you get through Pennsylvania, you hit, you.
Youngstown, Ohio. Then you get to Ohio. Shout out. You know, all the amazing rest stops.
No, I was driving. I know. I was driving there one time and it was like left on like a random
Wednesday night and we were going to just like drive overnight and it was like, we stopped at the
first rest stop pouring rain. So we had to like wait a little bit. We try, it was like on whatever
that road is like through Pennsylvania to get to Ohio. Stopped at every, well, stopped at three hotels.
they were all booked and then the what like one of the hotels gave us a list of all the hotels along
that highway oh that all of them were booked like it was the craziest thing i was like what is going on
in pennsylvania that all of these hotels were booked like we just had to drive through the rain and
like through the night because we literally could not stop at any hotel yeah i was like what is going on
in pennsylvania that all these hotels are broke it's it's it's um not what's the word i'm thinking of
the population is not dense
Oh, it's sparsely pop.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Can you say that?
I mean, besides like Pittsburgh and Philly.
Yeah.
Then there's a, I mean, it's definitely, is it the, not the Adirondacks?
Where did Coburgerger get arrested?
Pennsylvania.
Yeah.
The Adironics is in New York.
Oh, no.
I'm thinking of the Poconos.
Yeah.
Poconos, yeah.
Yeah.
Because those, the Poconos are also in New York.
The Pocono Mountains.
Okay.
Right?
Poconos home. Yep. Poconos.
Poconos.
Region in Pennsylvania.
So that was where they got Cobra in that area.
There was also a killer on the loose there too.
Wait, is it, am I crazy or is it not in New York at all?
What, the Poconos?
The Poconos.
That's a new thing to figure out.
Oh, no, it's all in Pennsylvania.
It's not. Yeah, I don't think it is.
What?
Why did I think there was a little Poconos in New York?
No, it's pretty far, actually.
Anyway, it's a little bit on the border.
Yeah, no, yeah, it's definitely on the border.
Yeah, but, yeah, where this, so Midwesterners is, would you consider the Dakotas the Midwest?
No.
That's like north.
Yeah, that's not the Midwest, I don't think.
Is Missouri the Midwest?
Yeah, I think so.
Like, because, like, St. Louis exists there, and I think that St. Louis gives Midwestern vibes.
The thing that throws me off about Missouri, also, I don't think I've ever been to Missouri, but is that Missou is in the SEC.
That, and not the Big Ten, that throws me off.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But where is Missou?
Is it in Springfield?
Columbia, Missouri.
Oh, yeah.
And that's pretty north.
Iowa.
Midwest.
Midwest.
Yeah.
Corn.
It's honestly, like, you're.
you're saying it's more about like the vibes of the people than it is like because like
you could say upstate New York is like up up state New York is Midwestern vibes not Westchester
yeah totally but Dutchess Dutchess in Putnam County are actually pretty downstate I don't know
what I mean but the thing is okay so Pittsburgh is more mid is closer to the Midwest than
Buffalo in terms of distance in terms of location yeah
But Pittsburgh, you'd say, is more Appalachia, Appalachia.
I think so.
I've spent a lot of time in Western Pennsylvania based on vibes.
They have their own lingo.
They say yins.
They have an accent that I can't quite nail.
Yeah, I think, and I think also, like, from talking with, like, KB and Nick, who are actually from the Appalachia, like, region, I think.
the way that they talk about
West Virginia and the way the Pittsburgh
is in my brain
I think like our Western Pennsylvania is
similar. You know what's
also Midwest?
The West Coast of Florida.
No.
Do you mean like Tallahassee?
I'm joking.
Florida's I was saying about that the other day. Florida's not the south
either though. Like Florida's Florida. Right.
Yeah. Like Florida. The East Coast of Florida
is way more East Coast and the
west coast of Florida is all Midwesterners.
That's what I've realized.
Like where the parents retire.
Yeah.
East Coast.
East Coast of Florida is East Coasters.
West Coast of Florida is Midwesterners.
Yeah.
Cleveland has one beach town in Florida that every single person that I was at like two months ago,
but like every single person in Cleveland goes to and spends spring break out,
all their parents buy a house there once their kids leave the house.
And then they all retire.
They have Culvers in on the West Coast of Florida.
Oh, that means something.
That means something.
That's like the indication.
But that's also, it's like, it's like, the culture has moved.
It's like, okay, well, we have to appease these fat Midwesterners.
People are already here.
You have these people eating fucking eating cheese curds in 90 degree weather.
They can only take so much tilapia.
Like, they have to have a cheese curd as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I.
That's funny.
But, um, succession.
Yeah.
RIP.
Where are they New Yorkers?
Yes.
Where are the succession people from?
New York.
They're city kids.
They're a city kids.
It could have been you, Billy.
Where do they go in Florida?
They don't go to Florida.
They go to Italy.
They go to Lake Como and...
They could not be caught dead in Florida.
Maybe Miami with a ton of Coke.
Well, they were in Miami.
Or, yeah, they were in Miami episode one.
Of this season?
Yeah, weren't they doing tech stuff?
No, they were in L.A.
Oh.
But close.
Yeah.
Warm.
but I'm
to bring this back
I am interested to see
the funeral episode moving forward
because I think that's going to bring
a lot of people to the forefront that we haven't seen a little bit
like Marcia their mother
like just people who haven't
remembered from the past three seasons
and I think it's going to be like a shit show
because everyone's just like
like i think it's just gonna be a lot of emotion brought to the forefront that no one's had to deal with quite yet
um i also think it'll be interesting to see how like carrie exists or if she does throughout the rest of the season now that
logan's dead and she really like is kind of out of a job unless they put her on the news yeah her character
development i i hate her huh did they change her hair i don't know but her bangs suck ass no offense
I don't know, she kind of popped up
I don't know
with bad bangs
I was like, what fuck?
Yeah, it's hard to forget.
Yeah.
No, but I wonder
if they're gonna have her
in the rest of the season at all
or if they're gonna try to put her on the news.
No, she's definitely in the will.
They think they get rid of her
then she's in the will.
Oh, Billy.
Yep.
No, we think?
Yep.
That would suck.
I hate her.
She's so awful.
So awful.
Oh,
I can't stand her.
Oh, I hope she's on in the will.
That would suck.
Imagine if she gets like a billion dollars.
That's just a small chunk.
I know.
Imagine, oh, man.
Imagine just sleeping with an old dude and getting a billion dollars for like three months
of work.
God.
I just, I don't.
Three months of emotional manipulation.
Yeah.
And then he dies.
Just being nice to someone.
And then she's like in shock.
She's so in shock when he dies.
And she's like,
fucking crazy, right? And then Tom has what I think is a very arguably the funniest line in the
episode, because there's not that many. He's like she looks like she got a fucking foul ball at
Ike Stadium. Like she is just complete and total shock. No, I also, speaking of side characters
that have to do with Logan, Colin, his bodyguard, did you catch that when he was coming,
when they were bringing Logan's body off the tarmac? And Colin, there's like a five second frame of
him like with more emotion than I could ever come up with like being like oh being sad yeah
yeah like every single person stepped up in this episode to like provide enough emotional
integrity that that you could experience in like through the whole cast in a normal show
but because this is a succession like they all have that level of emotion and even
Colin in a five-second blip
when he doesn't say
or say anything or look near the camera and you
can just like feel it.
Bitcoin just hit
30K. Is that good?
Kind of.
Is this because of Logan Roy?
Maybe.
Wait, when did I buy it?
Just get out.
Anyway.
But I
really think every single
person in the show deserves it at me for what they did
Sunday. Yeah. They already have a lot of
Emmys. As deserved.
Yeah. And I think I think Alan Ruck, who plays
Connor Roy, I think he's
this is hit the, this is the
season of Connor.
Like every single episode, he's had
like a crazy display
of emotions that he hasn't had in the
past three seasons and like they've
shed more light on him this season.
And I
love what they're doing with him.
I like also think
that
he um like like it's so connor that the day of his wedding his dad dies and then he's like well
like i'll i'm gonna still get married like i'm still gonna go through with this and then poor willa
is just like well i'm not gonna leave you right now i'll leave you later but maybe not right now um
but i like connor connor's so good in this episode just with ever
everything that takes place throughout this crazy tumultuous time that I don't it's like one of
those things where it's like you never like obviously like people die and you know that everyone
dies but you're not actively thinking about it especially when Logan was so involved still
like I think when in the beginning of the first season when we see him for the first time and he
you know had this I think it was a stroke and you're like okay it would
make sense if he died like in the next episode like that kind of adds up like you don't
really see it coming or you think he's going to get sick and it's going to be the slow decline
and it's just so not and i yeah everyone everyone was like thinking that it would be like him on the
deathbed would be like and i'm going to make you the success yeah yeah
cousin greg still the dark horse well you really think so
yeah that was our podcast yeah maybe in a couple weeks
Greg Hirsch will be the sole owner of Waystarroiko
and Billy will be able to come back and spit this in my face
I think Greg
okay so let's cast our let's cast our bets yeah let's cast her bets now
you're saying Greg you're like a pool yeah well because he doesn't watch
yeah I'm just gonna say Greg because I love him yeah team Greg
I don't know anyone else his name Greg
I'm going to say Roman.
Okay.
Roman's such a skeevy.
I know, but I think he's just skeevy enough to kind of like sneak in.
I also don't think, I've been thinking about this because I'm like, how does this show end?
I don't know if there's a bad way they end this show now.
Yeah.
Like I think they're going to, like, one, I trust these people now.
Well, I always have, but like, like, everything they do is just correct.
And I can't see this like ending in a way where I'm like fully disappointed.
yeah shit or shiv wins and then it's like girl boss time you know I love a girl boss
I also love shiv girl boss also love shiv yeah also I'm looking at my friends tweet that went
viral about the upstate New York thing I I was trying to go off this because I couldn't remember
but she does say Poughkeepsie up to New York up to Lake George like Saratoga area is upstate
but then above Lake George is like northern New York like Plattsburgh
oh so wait wait i actually this is like a detailed yeah
text us to me yeah it went like so viral
this is like such a new york thing long island like isn't new york people get so upset about
long island i just think it's hilarious how upset people get about it because like i don't
really care if you whatever you want to be upset i do get annoyed when people from long island
are like everything else is upstate i'm like okay you're just being dumb
Long Island like
Long Island like
Long Island sports
doesn't compete in New York sports
It doesn't?
They have their own association
Like I was watching a
A game show the other day
And the guy was like
Oh I'm from Long Island
New York
And my dad's like that's not a place
Like you're from a town
On Long Island
But you're not from Long Island
Like you wouldn't say Long Island
New York
Like what is Long Island
Yeah you would say like
You would say like Massapequa
Yeah like something
Like I was like
Yeah so true
Like is long island
Like, is it a, it's a province?
Yeah, wait, interesting.
I know.
I was like, it's an island.
What is?
My mom is from Long Island, but.
Actually, let me ask chat, CBT.
Yeah, what is long?
What is Long Island?
I mean, they're going to say it's an island.
Yeah, it is an island.
So is Manhattan.
Island time, babe.
We're always on island time.
Always.
Like, is it a county?
Right.
why does it
I always forget that
I always forget what county we're in
but we're in New York
New York County
Yeah
Like that never registers with me
Long Island is an island
Yes
Yeah nailed it
It consists of four counties
Kings Brooklyn
Queens Nassau and Suffolk
Each county has its own
Government jurisdiction
Long Island is not a county itself
But rather a region
Okay so it's a region
Got it okay
That's a word
Yeah
Makes sense
the reason for the separate jurisdiction of law is counties colonial area dutch english
um yeah so it doesn't have oh but the four counties
okay literally it doesn't like what gives them the authority to like not compete in sports
yeah that is weird i don't have its own that's kind of crazy like i think they have their own
wildlife like thing too like their own like yeah like it's not like new york department of whatever
it'll be like Long Island Department of whatever.
Yeah.
Long Island is huge though.
Yeah.
It should, it could be its own like northeastern state.
How many people live?
Like it could be like a Rhode Island.
It could be a Connecticut.
Yeah.
Yeah, it could be.
Long Island.
What?
Yeah.
Interesting.
The estimated population of seven million people.
Yeah.
On Long Island?
Yeah.
Yeah, that adds up.
A lot of islands.
Well, because I guess Brooklyn and Queens count.
on that too, right?
Yeah.
It's the original suburbia.
Like, the suburban sprawl.
Like, I've really never been into Long Island.
I've been on, like, I've been in, like, Brooklyn and Queens, but that's it.
Yeah.
Like, I've never, I've never, and I've never been in the Hamptons.
Like, the Hamptons are Long Island.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're so far out.
The Borty Barn talk.
Yeah.
The end of the world, they call it.
That's so far away.
I mean, I've your Roy and have a helicopter.
Right.
Yeah.
Bladed.
Yeah.
I mean, it turns out it's not that expensive to get like an Uber pool helicopter.
No, it's not.
Because sometimes it'll pop up.
Really?
It'll be like 200 bucks.
Yeah.
But like 200 bucks to skip all the traffic.
Right.
Or like not have to get on the train that everyone else is on.
Or drive and all like the rush hour traffic.
I'm Uber, Uber Blade.
I heard Brianna does it a lot.
Really?
No way, dude.
What?
I swear to God.
So where though?
Like the airport?
She's going from her apartment to sucker punch.
To the Hamptons.
Chicken fry?
Actually, I don't know if I should say that.
Maybe we should cut that.
She doesn't go to the Hamptons.
I don't know where she took it to her.
That's so funny.
From her apartment.
That's like the one person I've heard.
I know they've done helicopters before they've like been,
they've been,
her and Grace have been up in helicopters.
Helicopter, I mean, after Kobe ruined helicopters.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
It's true.
No, I know it's true, but
It's just sad to think about
I think they've done them like
Like the ones that you can do over New York
Like the trip, like you can get the view
Yeah
And then they're like up
And they take pictures and then they come down
We should take one for content
Oh
And then go party
You couldn't get PFT on there
Then go party names
Is he scared of heights?
Terrified of heights
Oh my gosh, that's so funny
I didn't know that
I have to show you the video of him
On that person day building
Was he freaking out?
Oh my God
with Tyler O'Day. May he also
love him.
But yeah, no, it's,
it's,
PFT is not a fan of heights.
That's so funny. You couldn't get him in a helicopter.
The more you know.
I hate heights, but I only hate heights when it's open.
Like, if there's something in between me
and the heights, we're good. Like glass, like a
building? No, no. I mean, more
structured than glass. Like,
what do you mean? Like a plane?
Yeah, like I don't get, I'm not scared of heights on a plane.
Even when I look out the window, but it's just like a lot of open glass, then I get a little.
If you can like look down and see what's below you.
Is that what you mean?
I'm not really scared of heights, actually.
I'm not pretty good about it.
No, mind him.
That's not like what's on the top of my list.
Yeah, true.
Anybody else have any like important topics we need to discuss?
I don't think so.
Not that we can't discuss tomorrow.
Yeah.
Well, because we're recording this on Tuesday.
Yeah.
So we're bored tomorrow for our real episode.
Sweet.
A whole gang, a whole slew of people.
Yeah, we have.
Oh, my God.
So many people.
I know.
We keep just saying it.
I know.
People are going to be like,
who the hell is it?
I've had like several people that listen to the show in my real life ask me.
Like, they're like, who's going on?
Like, oh my God.
Good people.
Good people.
All right.
All right.
This is fun, guys.
