Look at the mirror. He made three, but that's light work. Are you talking about Jesus? Tonight on one of our more controversial episodes so far. Yeah. It's comparing Jesus to Rory McElroy. Jesus was Irish. I think we all know that.

Okay, all right. Let's keep on with up. No, Cajizus was an optimist. Therefore, it could not be Irish. They both like to drink. Trade most overrated things in the world. Crucifixion, parties, and smiling. All right, welcome to all accent, full cast.

I thought it was going to be French accents the whole time. And one minute in, we've gone Irish. He's going to mix it up, I suspect. It's fun because I ran out of words speaking French. You know that you do that? like, oh, I'm so excited. Like, this is going better than I thought. Suckrabrew.

You start to try to say something and you're like, I forgot the word for road. What is the word for red? I have to go look it up. Roo is road, right? Street. Sure. But like road surface? Like, I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you said, like, I don't know. I just looked up asphalt is asphalte. That's what Google says. The only thing on Google I trust anymore is Google Translate. Yeah. I just don't know if like Roo is the word for like where the tires touch or if you sound like an idiot, you sound like an asshole idiot being like, oh, on the street, moron. Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah. So when the tires hit the avenue, right? So the race car is out there on the driveway. How far is the NASCAR on the boulevard?

Well, fortunately, most of the time you're talking to somebody who's like, we're just trying to get through it. We're just trying to like, I got you. Right. The same thing. would do to somebody who's like you know if somebody comes up to you like if a french person was like yes so when you are driving with the tires touching the boulevard you'd be like that's cute i know what you mean we're going right sure they might make fun of you behind your back but it'd be very brief i'm i am now looking at the uh at a wiki style page for mario cart regional differences in french translation wow genius uh dry bones is called skellorex That's, it's hard to top drybones, but I'll put that on par. It's pretty good.

We had, there's a French Randy. I heard all the French or Randy. That one? I found the one Frenchman who's 100% Randy. Because he is the driver who took me from Le Mans to the airport.

And took your heart. He did because he played TLC in the my goodness full court press in there yeah putting it on thick played some SWV crazy cool don't let go yeah well like he started with jazz which I think was like I was like you know that's sure you're in France the driver's gonna play some jazz and kind of kept inching the needle over and saying how we're you know like do they mind if I play some TLC like no man sure they great Randy greatest dude in France just drive it along playing the R&B hits of the 90s.

I am joined as always by Ryan Nanny, Jason Kirk. Holly Anderson. We. And on the ones and two is Michael. Sirber Subbe Surbe Surbe

So Michael Michia Sobe We'll do this Michael Sorbet Michael Sorbet Michael Sorbet Michael Sherbert Damn it

Michael Sherbet Michael Sherbet Just got to start telling lies about France Being like The most popular Ice Cream is Rainbow Sherbert

Do you remember the first time you discovered Sherberg And you were like Oh my God Ice cream can Can get even better Like

Ice cream is cool and then there's this whole other shit called sherbert and it's better than ice cream do you remember that day I remember that was a special day I remember that day I remember being like this stuff doesn't even it doesn't even register as a substance it doesn't have calories you can eat a whole bucket of it and it's fine it doesn't feel gross like ice cream

I think it's the colors that really do it that you're really like regular ice cream is boring colors this is like eating a highlighter let's go this is the mountain dude that's good for me I can put the entire spectrum of visible color into my intestines. Rainbow Sherbert. Come on, man. Ice cream can't fuck with that.

When I found out you could get the components of Rainbow Sherbert separately. Oh, dude. Damn. Deconstructed Rainbow Sherbert. I thought I'd discovered an entire worldview. You're like, yo, maybe you're just a lime sherbert person. Boom. You can get an entire bucket of it.

Because I think I came in at the point where they decided that it was a mainstream thing. So they're like, yeah, it's for the. American market. You should just sell four gallon tubs of it. Just four gallon tubs of lime sherbert. Rainbow sherbet is also the egalitarian ice cream. Because like regular ice cream, no matter the flavor has like your discount version, your super fancy version, like there's a whole spectrum. Rainbow sherbet, it all looks. Just comes to tub. It all looks like it's all just tub. There is no fancy rainbow sherbet. And there is no particularly low end rainbow sherbet either. It's the same for everyone from prince to popper

you get the same rainbow sherbet no matter who you are the treat of the people same one get you an ice cold handful of equality you can't get the boutique but it's not like anybody's trying to upscale that right rainbow sherbet yeah like nobody has opened

nobody has opened a boutique sherbert place in hell's kitchen called like sherbet right or a sherbet with a weird like misspelling right there isn't an app now there's not there will there's not an $18 surebettery in Austin

right there will be brother we may have just spoken I mean they've done gentrified grilled cheese they'll be on this I don't think it'll work though I think people will be like fuck that I want it in the tub

that's where it belongs oh you know what it is you know what the move is you know you know you can tell these people whether they're for the people or for not if they call it sorbet yes sorbet is for fancy people but there isn't Rainbow Sorbet is there.

Rainbow Sorbet is there. Rainbow Sorbet doesn't exist. It's the property of Sherbet. It's the property of the people. That's right. It's a pride month every month here in Sherbetland. I think it's once you serve it in an amount that could be described as fits in a softball glove at that way. Right?

Like, what is the scoop for Rambo Sherbert? Popcorn bucket. It is. A shovel. It's like at least a, it's at least a gardening spade of some sort, right? You got to wash it down with... Give me a spade full, Sherbert master! Got to wash it down with a squeezy tube of unfrozen liquid.

A shot of squeeze juice. Little portable hose of red. That's the idea. I have the idea so I could get every artificial coloring in my body at once so that I shine with the power of the rainbow. Do you think the Isle of Capri knows that we have a garbage children's beverage that bears their name and is how most people in the United States associate with their with their geography and it's like a kid's MRE

I thought that was a lunchable but yeah I guess you're right well yeah sure yeah but it's part of it's part of the kit it's part of the survival kit of like I got I got a 9 a.m. softball game to get through one that one that has a brand loyalty that exceeds even hygiene or personal standards of like well-being because there was a little TikTok boomlet of people cutting open Capri Suns and showing what was on the inside and on the inside occasionally there were, you know, I think probably particulates from the the actual like ingredients of the Capri Sun that it settled over time and or just dirt, you know, that got in there because no one's ever looking inside a Capri Sun ever. No one's ever. They're opaque. Right? I think

at one point Capri Sun thought they're modest. Realized. Yeah. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's It's like Ortolan. Like, you're not meant to look. You're not meant to behold what you're eating. I know that's not an ordean work. What color is Capri-San juice? You have no clue. It goes from inside the package to inside my body.

That's right. Same as me, therefore. Can you imagine how unhinged it would look if somebody poured Capri-Sun into a glass? A glass? Would you like a chilled glass? Would you like Capri-on on the rocks? I want somebody to get a huge pair of pinking shears and come out, you know, cut it in half at the table and just pour it into a coffee cup

for you, you'd be like, that's the craziest person I've ever fucking seen. I've just Googled Capri-San cocktails. Yeah. Oh, that's got, yeah, sure. But it only has one four-star rating. There were people,

and that's from me. There are people, though, in response to those TikToks, who saw shit in their Capri-Son that they'd just been drinking and they're like, it makes me stronger. Yeah, evidently.

It's got to be good for me. You know, fuck it. I'm still going, I'm still going to hit that packet. They're called minerals for a reason. You know, I didn't hear the Capri Sun cocktail recipe? Yes. One Capri Sun.

One ounce liquor. One lime reg. Let's fucking go. That's it. All right. I've got my Bayleys here. Yeah. I mean, I mean this.

Was this cocktail recipe constructed by a sixth grader making, like, yeah, sure. I saw I saw mom and dad make this once add liquor what's an amount of liquor announced I'm sure let the spirit guide you I don't know literally one gallon liquor yeah bring back the the YouTube lady the generous bartender yeah bring me exactly so we're just going to add a little bourbon glug glug even she cared what the liquor was though she wasn't just grab random bottle Grab Capri Sun Yeah Grab Capri Sun

Which flavor Yeah, fuck it It doesn't matter They're all the same I don't care Can you name a flavor of Capri Sun I can't It's Capri Sun

A fruit Trombers Tropical Dries Sun flavors Ranked Reddit Yeah search Quick search That would imply

That would imply that I would be choosy Like that's the other thing Is there's because you can't see the insides There's no point in being choosy about a Capri Sun Yeah According to R slash nostalgia.

The top is Pacific cooler. Sure. What does that taste like? Capri-sun. That is 100% something I will never, ever investigate. If I am handed a Capri-Sun, I will just consume it instantly, maybe without even putting a straw in it. I might skip that.

Just going to eat it? Yeah, you pop a hole with your tooth, right? Like it's a big gusher? What do you mean? Yeah, just big gusher. You're not a gnarwhal? You got more than one? Yeah.

For the moment, yeah. check with me at the end of the summer it's going to be pre-hactic all right sure so here's spencer over here at a soccer game shotgun and capri sun like a madman that's how we that's how we live man nobody would look twice that's how we get that in your body you're welcome at the rainbow sherbet table buddy even you deranged caprice sun madman can have rainbow sherbet it does feel i'm gonna go i'm gonna go buy some right after this show like i'm gonna go do the things I have to do this afternoon and I'm going to go by the biggest cheapest tub like if one is like if one is like eight pounds of rainbow sherbet right for 459 which I'm pretty sure is market price

like inflation has affected everything but I bet rainbow sherbet steady yeah right like like silver you Joe Biden for the rainbow sherbet subsidies right orange chemical costs the same orange orange orange orange ain't going up orange is still cheap they probably they probably stable green nobody wants green food though right like i imagine at one point they were like oh in 1970 that's me when presented vegetables that's right how's this inorganically green food yeah but nobody like in the 60s and 70s when it was like hey why don't we reconstitute food to make horrible mashes and molds of things that used to be other foods and make them look like other things i bet like the green dye people were like we've never been wealthier oh god we're so

powerful and in the 80s and 90s when that fell off and people sort of wanted food that at least waved a hand looking like actual food, the green and orange people were like, oh God, the roof. I need to fix the roof. Thank God for Rainbow Sherbert. The echo cooler crash of 18, 1989.

Yeah. If we lose Sherbet and the river in Chicago, we're fucked. There is somebody's entire job is kept afloat by Chicago dumping shit in their river like they're the Dave Matthews band. You need to keep the nerds account. If we lose the nerds account it's over it's over

red gone yellow division gone laying off entire families gray rainbow sherbet that's what it's come to that would be the great we'd call it you'd call it winter slush winter slush eat your grirt yeah

what is it that's just gert sherbert sure gert sugar the sledgey dessert for choosy like picky but economical families that shit's more like sure ain't

sure ain't come on rainbow sure ain't can eat that for extremely homophobic families right like no man I ate that gray slush yeah sherbert's gone woke yeah I'm not eating the shirt

I'm not eating the woke sherbert I mean the sherbet is the color tire slush like I scooped it off on the side of a road in Fargo we get the The fucking red, white and blue popsicles that are, you know, those. One of the most famous there.

Hey, listen. Brothers and sisters, let me tell you, you don't think you have a nationalism, Gene. You need to go abroad and see one thing that's super hyper-American. Holly, do you have the thing that we got, that you sent to me about the man who encountered all the Batman ice cream? Do you remember what I'm talking about? Of course. That was the worst way I could have said. it up. I'm sorry.

That could go anywhere, brother. While she's looking at that, but let me tell you, if you're, if you're abroad and you see the big American Cadillac rowing down the racetrack, you're like, yeah, fuck yeah, USA! Hell yeah! Take that, you snooty little frog! You hear that? They're like, it's in sixth place.

It's failing and losing time everything. It's like, yeah, but it sounds awesome. It's fucking loud, ain't it? Yeah. it's letting everyone know right and then this moment makes up for them having a McDonald's with world class prime ribbon it for no reason exactly you're like it's McDonald's beating our ass oh my gosh this McDonald's have a champagne fountain all right here we go okay this is last week this is in uh this is in one of those

reddit channels where people do confessions that are probably made up I don't think this one is today my husband bought an 18 pack of Batman ice cream bars. I'm so jealous of how happy they made him. Now, I've never seen these before. I assume they're like the Mickey ice cream bars, but with a Batman silhouette. I've never seen one.

I just googled it. I can't wait for you to Google it. Oh my God! Yeah, that would make me so happy! Wait, is it the Adam West Batman? Oh my God. It's much more that. It leans more Adam West. It looks like bluey. Okay, so now I'm going to read the rest of this. This is going to make a lot more sense.

my husband works as a handyman and does odd jobs through the summer and he did some work today near the company that manages or supplies local ice cream trucks he went over and asked if he could buy a box of batman ice cream bars and they were happy to sell them he was so excited when i got home today he sang the old theme song to the batman show as part of the reveal when i mentioned that we already had ice cream his immediate response was babe that ice cream is great but it's not in the shape of the world's greatest detective Her cue Poirot

To be clear Oh my God Give me an evil Under the Capri's son To be clear He didn't say it in a rude way But in a this ice cream Looks like Batman

And it's fucking awesome way Two of his friends came over Just to see the ice cream I don't think Anything has made me That kind of happening In a long time Maybe it's a guy thing

Or maybe it's a Batman thing It's not a guy thing. It's not a guy thing. It is a Batman thing. I think this lady might need to get her serotonin levels checked by a medical professional. Yeah. That's incredible. You know what?

I'm now like secondarily happy for this guy. I'm so glad you had this triumph. Where can we get these more importantly? It looks like they're like, so this is a thing. The part about the homies coming over just to just to see. This makes me wish there were fewer pictures on the internet. Because like, you know, as soon. as like you know you find out about these things and you look it up and you're like oh that's

cool what if you weren't able to do that what if you had to know someone who had them and you had to go on a pilgrimage to experience them firsthand much much like the actual batman what if you couldn't just seek him out you had to put up your signal and hope yeah yeah shine a light the middle of the night you shine the light yeah yeah you do the shit you shine the light and you're like I guess he's not coming you turn around and oh there is it there it is This popsicle beats up the unhoused. Okay, I've been looking for something, and you guys have to tell me if I made something else up.

I feel like we've been to the alcoholic Capri-Sun cul-de-sac before. On this program, where we heard that we were making. And I can't find this in any previous... I was trying to figure out what episode it was, and I can't find it. Which means someone on Reddit will find it for us in 40 seconds. Somebody will. But there was an episode, I feel like there was an episode like five years ago,

we were looking into the concept of someone had advertised, hey, adult Capri Sons, and we were thinking Capri Sond and alcohol in a pouch, and I remember being very confused as to how you get outside liquid into the pouch. And what it turned out people were actually doing was taking just bags of frozen fruit, cutting them open and pouring vodka directly into them,

and then just drinking out of that. Oh, that's right. I remember this. Yeah. You would just buy like a freezing bag. Like a bag of frozen strawberries and you just pour vodka directly. to the back and then they would stick a straw. They would call it Capri

Sun. Right. Thereby risking a lawsuit when they should have bought Capri Suns. I don't think they're going to live long enough to be taken to court. Yeah. I think this is genius. Yeah. This thing I've evidently heard about before.

That feels like it was definitely a like pandemic thing where people were just like, fuck it. No laws. It doesn't matter. Yeah. No laws. No free son bag of liquor the like the the waxing and waning ambitions during the pandemic like i'm going to learn how to bake nine types of bread i'm drinking booze from a garbage bag full of fruit same day still winning still winning plan animal crossing like hey listen holly i feel like you're our show expert on this and i hope you don't

take offense to that isn't this just like dirt bag sangria that they're making it's not Capri, son. Okay, dirtbag sangria has to have a wine component. Oh, okay. So if you were to, if you were to like take, if I were to do this just off the top of my head, I would take, and sometimes depending on how, like, I guess depending on your geographic proximity to PCB, you want a sparkling component. Like the cheer wine sangria that almost killed friend of the program, a burrito

brotherships at our beach house in Jacksonville in 2012. Oh, did we bring that story up at his wedding a couple months ago? Yeah. So glad you asked you. He still gets really kind of gray when you bring that up. But if I were to make like a Kroger Isle Sangria, I think I would get like a bag of frozen raspberries. And you want to dump something really, you want to dump like something a little bit upscale to contrast the fact that you're pouring it into what's basically a garbage bag. You want to get some brandy or something.

Now it's classic. Get some brandy and pour it in and then like top it off with sparkling one. Do it in a top hat. But gas station, brain. You got to keep it in the plastic bag. That's the whole point. Also, I'm wondering how, or maybe there's a funnel at work,

the funnel would probably make the most sense because they could close the straw around it. I'm wondering how they get the alcohol into the bag, but then reseal the bag to put the straw in because this seems like it wouldn't take too long before your fine motor control would become a real issue. I think I put it in an IV. and then just hooking it up, walking around with my ivy.

I see the vision. And if you're scared of needles, intubate. No big deal. It'll be fine. Yeah, intubating, not terrifying. You can, yeah, you can drink my favorite, yeah, you can drink my favorite emergency cocktail, the pit stop where we pull in, right?

Take the tube right up the keister, right? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Make little whirring noises pretending we're, Now we're getting into butt chugging, and that was a whole different thing. A whole different, yeah. Effective, too effective. Speaking of drinking and driving, how drunk do you have to be to get arrested for drunk driving in the Hamptons while famous?

I'm going to ask Billy Joel. I'm going to ask Justin Timberlake. It's true. Does Justin Timberlake not have people? How spectacularly drunk was he for this to make the news? It's very easy to find out that there's nobody who, that you got nobody or that you're listening to nobody. I mean, he should have nobody. He sucks, but. Like, like, frankly, Landon Donovan, you need someone in your life who's going to be like, hey, if you go on TV and you just got a hair transplant, they're going to be able to see it.

Lord, let's dress up in prayer. Take all of Landon Donovan's tribulations as somebody said on Twitter day and give them to Alexie Lawless. Thank you. Yeah, make him bald. I just, I would have put on like the psychops or the Jorny Lawless. the forage thing, and that would have completely covered up the hair. Can I say something to Landon Donovan, who I know is listening out there, a long time listening to the program? Speak to him, please. You were, you were unusually blessed among, among our white brothers in that you have a shapely

head. Yep. There, this is not something that, as I'm sure, as I'm sure many of us know, I'm sure you've all shaved your heads at one point. This is not something that, uh, as a people is, is very common among our set. And he's got a pretty okay looking head. Just go with that, man. Why are you trying to put all this other shit on it?

You're blessed with an unusually not weird looking head. There's no random like bumps or dents in it. And you played soccer for a long time. So that's kind of awesome. Congratulations on all your success. You can be a gloriously bold. Yeah, you could be a gloriously bald and beloved soccer player. Zendidine Zadon, saw him this weekend, man.

Yeah, Chrome Dome. What was, what was Zadon doing? he was waving the French flag at Le Mans I eat the most French shit I've ever seen in my life with with the planes going overhead doing the red white and blue smoke right like their version of the blue angels over yeah and everyone's singing the La Marseillaise yeah

it's a very very very very very French moment when Zendine Zidon is doing that anyway yeah by the way just the tipper like terrible service people deserve everything that's happening to you. Oh, legendary shitty Memphis Tipper.

Yeah. Bad Tipper, bad with service people. Go into hell. Just saying that. If that's you, straight down. Express Elevator, buddy. Memphis Tipper would also be a good old-timey coach nickname. Memphis Tipper is also an excellent rap name. They're both, right? Can't be tipping if you never begin to tip. Yeah.

Now, if we go Tipper Memphis, is that, that, I mean, that could also be a coach name. That's Timper Gore's fighting name. Oh, yeah, that's when she knows she means. In this corner. That's when she's really mad about. Weying in at never escalated movies. Now I feel like we're edging into Vanderbilt baseball player

or two pottery barn couches territory. Ooh, yeah. By the way, I tried that game on my mom over the weekend while we were watching the college world series. Yes, and it turns out she is an absolute ringer but from the other direction because she's never heard of anybody playing baseball for Vanderbilt, but she has pottery barn catalog committed to memory word for word. And I would get one barely out. And she's like, that's not pottery barn.

And the potter barn's never had anything like that. I did not fool her once. Because she doesn't play, she doesn't play the game. She lives it. P.B. for life. Was not familiar with your game, Mom. Respect. You know who else this game I was unfamiliar with? I owe somebody an apology. Go ahead. I know that we've talked about this extensively on the show and that I kind of stood alone in one corner.

And if you know me in real life, you know that I'm never really not talking about the fact that Glenn Powell is not America's sweetheart and never will be. And I refuse all these PR campaigns telling me that he's a movie star now. I don't believe that I can be told by Access Hollywood that someone is a movie star. You either are or you are not. We don't decide this for you. And then I found out via TikTok that to this day, Glenn Powell's middle school has a rule that all the students have to carry clear backpacks. Because when Glenn Powell was a student at that middle school, he released several thousand crickets into the cafeteria at lunch one day. And I talk about not being familiar with somebody's game.

Sir, I apologize. You are America's sweetheart. and you are my sweetheart as far as I'm concerned and I wish you all success. I didn't, I didn't see this as being the thing that tip the scales. I understand it.

Yeah. I just wouldn't have predicted it. This is literally all I know about him other than everyone says he's a movie star. He's kind of got a weird capy bar of face, but now the cricket thing. A weird thing. Thank you for getting me to imagine

Glenn Powell taking a relaxing bath somewhere in the mountains of Japan, right? He would do that. I would do that. You're not, though. I'm not, no. Poor me. Wetting your ass off in Atlanta.

Idiot. Adding that one of your many shortcomings. Yeah, you were in France and now you're not. What the hell, man? I can't be bitter about it, but I could. What is the most coffee you drank in one 24-hour period while you're in France? you're really going to make me do this I just

I don't need This is when you were tweeting out stuff Like this one will fix me Yeah like you made this a feature of your trip Not me I did I did So here's the trick You're sleep deprived before the race even starts

Because you got off a plane And you're already fucked up And then you go and you try to see everything You can before the race Because when you do With the race happens you're not going to be You're not going to see everything right There's a lot of people

it's hard to get around so try to see everything go out see everybody possible talk to everyone possible and then get up early and do it all again so and then you can't sleep because you're already sleep deprived so i was probably already on empty go back to that last one what like you're already well because you're already jet lagged so your sleep schedule is totally off right you're waking up when you normally wake up which is six hours off normal time and trying to go back to sleep um and on top of of that, you're doing French things like having coffee at 9pm. So there's also that

over that 24 hour period of time, if I had to estimate how many shots of espresso I had because they're being served in tiny little coffee cups. Oh yeah, they're only tiny little coffee. Tiny coffees. Little coffin nails each one of them. How many did I drive into my personal casket

over the course of 24 hours? I'm going to estimate somewhere between 12 and 50. Why can't I sleep? It's surely because I'm already sleep-deprived. God dang, dude. Ryan's laughing. Jason and I are both just gravely concerned.

I'm just doing the math in my head trying to calculate how many co-teens that is. I like when Spencer decides what if crank was real. Dude, can you imagine? Listen, of all the built different scenarios in the world, putting Spencer in the limitless movie? Oh, yeah, 100%. I still wouldn't make money. I know. What did you apply your brain to?

I am now the world's number one competitive warhead or Claire. It's actually about rainbow sherburne. Is that lucrative? Not at all. It's very expensive. It's very, yeah, I'm in the hole. Do you know how much of painted plastic I own, brother? Tell them, tell them your latest.

Oh. Which one? I'm sorry. Your latest purchase. So I have, I bought plastic explosions so that when the table hits, I can put this down when something blows up so that it blows up. That's fun. It's like a cake toper for a bad wedding. Yeah, it's for a cake topper for when things blow up.

It's a memento. It's a mighty deed was, was waged here. Spencer, the FDA recommends no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine in a day. Yeah. You roughly quadrupled that. You know why? Because you were not in their jurisdiction anymore. I was not under the, yeah, that was two fingers up.

Can't fucking find me. Yeah. The French are like, the French are like, the French drink all day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, fuck yeah.

Coffee all day. Wait, there's the, there's the exchange rate though. Find the defibrillator of me. Exchange rate, so double it. And then the time zone. And then the time change. Do you want the job done or not? And it was hot.

So you're probably sweating out everything that wasn't caffeine. I will tell you it was not hot. Oh, okay. It was just sunny, but not hot. Dig up. Dude, we're trying to help you. No, that's fine. No, I'm not going to help myself.

We're going to do a full honest accounting. By the way, was this alternating with the ambient alcohol that just floats around? You've got to balance it out. Upers and downers. Find perfect equilibrium. You got to take the edge off, and then you got to take the edge off the edge. You can't put the edge back. No, I literally had people go, would you just had a coffee?

You should have some wine. Balancing your humors. These people, were they handsome? Yeah. Yeah. They were handsome. Therefore, they were smart. That's how it works.

You know what? I bet you didn't have a single bit of during your trip. Water? Rainbow fucking sherbet, buddy. Yeah, not one. Now you're home. Not one. You're like.

Oh, look, the tart-tot-tan with the strawberries. It's delicious. And you're like, but do you have a gallon of rainbow sherbert that I can eat with a fork? None of it's blue. Yeah, none of this. I'm sorry, none of this is blue or orange. None of that. Let alone both.

Yeah. Como di Tito, satisfying tub of rainbow sherbert. Eating it with a fucking wooden spoon. Yeah, man. Eating it with a garden trowl because I can. Yeah. no they didn't have any of that but I was balancing it so I probably had somewhere between 12 and 15 installments of caffeine combined with over the course of the race without feeling it by the way I probably had anywhere between 8 to 10 drinks sure like alcoholic so therefore the caffeine wasn't hurt so yeah one caffeine not huge not like a not not like a cocktail right but like a glass it's probably like a demure glass of wine yeah caffeine and alcohol can't each other out. So you had the daily

recommended amount of caffeine and that's all you had. I was ready to go. You're good. Yeah. Jason, are you sure you didn't go to an SEC school? Everyone did it too. Like the professionals who you were taking you along were doing that as well. The people running, you know, running the event, we're doing that as well. Yeah, that is

sage advice also. That's right. Just go along with that. When in Rome, drink way too much coffee and wine. Went in Rome. See what them kid do that is how rome works as i understand that is it's just me yeah my my kidneys were days of thunder right dropping the hammer cold out one of your wait which organ in your body is robert duval spleen which which one of them that would be the one that has sense and experience so none of them yeah oh your sleeve has experience yeah i did i mean you ever just think like my liver's

had it easy for a while it's time for you to pull your weight around here yeah come on You're the biggest organ in the body. You're just sitting there taking up all that blood. Is this like when, like in his trailblazer years, when Carmel and Anthony would randomly have like a 28 point night, you'd be like, oh shit, he's still got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't do that again for two weeks, but he's got it.

It's the D-Rose 50-point game, right? It's just so happy to be back. It's fucking Kobe's retirement game out of nowhere. There goes my liver. Yeah, yeah, liver taken 62 shots to get 62 points. yeah because that's what the french were doing so it's fine that's it is what the french would do there are a lot of things that i think should translate like there are so many things where i you know being american i'm like that's a nice idea i'm going to steal it uh so many things

that would optimize my personal experience both as a human but also a college football fan like the train thing train thing is still like you know using them every using them uh having them having the high speed train wait wait breaking news everybody for the first time in recorded history spencer and american has gone to europe and said whoa trains are great nobody else has ever had nobody else has done that i'm the first i haven't been on a train since every time every time a train map gets published you know college football twitter and beyond will go like oh man we should i run these between we should run these between tuscaloosa and starkville yeah it's the high speed train from People say that.

They are in 10 minutes. Think of the baseball travel. $3 billion. Once the conductor is like, you can't bring a cooler full of shrimp on the trade. People are like, fuck this, back to cars. Trade suck. You could bribe the conductor with a gallon of Rainbow Sherper. And he'd go, huh?

Oh, you have found Raddy's weakness. I have seen nothing. The rainbow that greases the wheels. I lived without color. before these oh my god now my heart shines with the power

of the spectrum balon balon just pointing at the top of just pointing in the sky take the most

angles ass rainbow shirt but we got ship it to ship it to someone rich in France tell them it's expensive and see if they will lie and claim

that the orange tastes different from the green. What a cornucopia flavor. A manual macron eating it on camera going, oh, that's a plume fantastic. I think I like the hot pink the most. But then again, this would be a downgrade politically for what,

this would be a downgrade in news for what's been happening in France in real life. This may actually be a welcome gesture at this moment. What's up to what's France up to? France is going through it a little bit. Tearing and tear apart. Yeah. Yeah.

So they have the parliamentary system. So when the coalition of parties governing. France's entire center right coalition, which is very large, has just been like, hey, maybe the far right's not so bad. Yeah. So that government is on the verge of collapsing and new elections. Yeah, it sounds related to all of that. Where'd they get that idea? Which, you know, we're over there and we're like, hey, man, you know, you know what we're up to.

So. And at one point wasn't the like leader of the far right party like barricading himself in his office. Yeah. Oh no, no, no. This was the leader of the of the center right. Of the center right party. Who was, who after he was like, you know, Marine Le Pen's not that bad. And everyone was like, what? But that's her whole thing. Yeah. And he was and he, uh, in order to like the, the, the rest of the Republican Party leadership or what passed for the Republican Party leadership in France basically put out a statement that was like, this guy doesn't speak. for us and he was like yuh huh and locked himself in his office and they had to find like they're having a super american couple of weeks it's got to be embarrassing good news the olympics are just yeah the olympics are there um is everything ready i'm sure never no olympics has ever been prepared for the most important preparation one can make is of the heart and no

I have a couple friends who are over there, and I have not heard either one of them describe the infrastructure situation there without using some form of the word nightmare. This is the French condition, by the way, that where they are in Europe, there's a lot of Latin timing with like Teutonic expectation of efficiency. Like they know that something should be efficient and they feel a real pressure for it to be logical and informal and like. all those things and they can't deliver on it like the pink panther is real where it's like we're going to have a serious police investigation and somebody falls face first you know like slipping on a banana through an enormous cake yeah like that is the most like any public environment they're like this is a very formal toll road and you need to line up at the tolls and if you go to the toll road everybody's trying to jam through the same three like there's just there's a they're germany's sibling who like sunbathing more than like factory spreadsheets yeah like like you know they're the ones who came up with like cartesian and logic, but also the South of France exists. So, like, you know, this should be trelogical, but I'm going to buy a sports car, and I'm going to drink too much.

Like, that's, there's a lot of that. There's always, like, wherever you go in France, there's always a flustered official who is either given up to the universe, right? Like, I don't care. Take the crosswalk. And it's just obviously like, I like this shit.

Who fucking cares? I think it's sweet that the French have a Godfrey. They got their own. That's nice. So we had a driver, and we, like, at one point, this guy was driving. This is not Randy. No, this is not Randy. I still can't believe you had a French Randy.

My God. You know, this guy was Italian, and it was great because he goes up to this French guy. An Italian somehow. Italian driver. The parking lot that we're trying to get into, right? And these British ladies in front of us kind of just talk to this guy for a while, and we're like, what's going on? And the guy goes, and it just lets them in, right? And the Italian guy drives up.

to this French like sentry and goes I am her brother I am following her and he goes like ah fuck it just lets him in

it was supposed to be like security like actual security for this he's just like it's a good thing Anthony Mackey wasn't there yeah and he gets out

and he looks at us and goes that was Italian shit now I want to see French death star where it's just like ah whatever

No. Eventually the garbage monster comes for us. It's half completed forever. The French Empire unions are on strike the whole time. They don't actually ever get the laser up there. Yeah, it's like one-tenth done, and it's all just

like, it's a symbol of sadness. Everyone is smoking. The French is filmed in black and white-legged pants dangling off girders. August is when we go to the forest moon. The most French thing in Star Wars is the pursuit of Han Solo by bounty hunter because I know there's this whole behind the scenes thing where they have a staff meeting and they get together and all of the people who are not Darth Vader are like, yes, Lord Vader, we will, our men will find them, our guys, we will, are regular soldiers, we are efficient enough to find them, we will not. Do not hire bounty hunters. It is not possible. There will be a band for hiring bounty hunters. Nobody will hire a bounty hunter. Five minutes later, it's like, okay guys, welcome. Bounty hunters 1 through 8.

Bask! Bring it in, buddy. You know, if like the offices are sitting there like, just pay them, don't tell me. Just don't I don't. Fuck it. Okay, get the pension and leave. That's the most, that would be the most French thing

is if they'd had this whole meeting beforehand where they're like, it is not possible to find them. We will find them ourselves. And then they bring in like eight mercenaries and they're like, we pay in cash. Do not tell anyone. All right, so I derailed you. Accidental punner.

Like a train. You want to bring trains to college football. Well, everyone says that, right? Like, they bring, they're like, oh, man, that high speed rail. Well, if only we had a railway from Tuscaloosa to New Orleans so we could go to LSU games. You're like, you do. Yeah. I know.

Yeah. You're not going to like it. Yeah. You're going to have to, you can do that right now. Nothing stopping you, right? Bama fans have done that for years. Go on the train, take Amtrak down. you know, and rent a car or get a shuttle to Baton Rouge for the game.

So, like, that's already kind of real. Do you want the opportunities of a YMCA changing room filled with Bama fans? And no air circulation? Yes, and low air circulation. But, hey, get you a bag of chips at the bar car, which is not really even a bar car. Not a proper bar car, damn it. Do you think you can take Amtrak? I think you could take Amtrak from, like, if you're,

you're like, okay, we're Cal, I'm a Cal fan, and we're going to NC State. I think you could do it. I think you would have to leave like a full week and a half ahead of the game. No, I can tell you how you take the Cal, you take the like that California flyer or whatever, right? The Pacific Flyer, you take it down to L.A., transfer there, take the one that basically follows I-10 all the way across. And I'm going to, like, we can play this game. Because we can look this up live. I think it would take you.

I'm going to say 27 hours I'm going to say 36 I think it would take you a full 36 hours to do this now driving from Berkeley to Raleigh

actually you could do almost all of that on I-40 so once you get down once you get down to 40 from Berkeley that's a straight shot almost and that's like four days of I-40 I'm talking about if you're driving like 8, 10 hours day

I typed Berkeley to Raleigh Train in Google Maps and it is like crunching It's like Hang on, bear with me Amtrak doesn't want to give me anything for it Amtrak is just like

No, we don't do that I'm gonna give you I'm gonna I can do this approximately Okay yeah I wouldn't too Google says 41 hour Yeah it was you Google says on train three days

you're going to want to take the yeah you take the five down from berkeley to the 40 and then you cut all the way across to north carolina and then you do a little hitchery do so uh with mixed service on the dates that i just randomly chose no shit which is like tomorrow to or not tomorrow but like next wednesday to the following wednesday uh 88 hours and 35 minutes okay to charlotte so that's only to charlotte that's only do you remember how far apart roll people don't realize how big North Carolina is. Raleigh is like, I'm exaggerating, but not much. Raleigh's like six hours away from Charlotte. Speaking of Raleigh. I was going to say, there it's, it's summer. Major League Baseball is in full swing, and there's one app for you if you want last minute deals on Major League Baseball games, and that's gametime.co. That's right, gametime.co.

Hold on. But the yes came out before I have to check. Do you want to go to Mongolia? Mongolia? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds fine.

That's what he wants to, not if you should or can. Yeah, and he said yes immediately. So shouts out to Brian for that. Respect. Endless respect for going ahead and just saying yes and then worrying about the rest at a later date. Without, obviously I don't want to spoil too much, but Spencer has shared the itinerary with some of us for this. And it includes something that just says,

Sounds like a freaking delicious soda or a beverage of some sort, but it does not sound like a video game about primates.

It was not a satisfying video game experience. Tropical phrase sounds like the French translation of Rainbow Sherbet. Tropical freeze. The frisande de la Trapique. How does it make it so cold? Yeah. They got colonies for that. Il nege.
