From Lally P.B.
My roommates got into a fist fight, arguing about whether or not
Gina Davis's character dropped the ball on purpose at the end of a league of their own.
Which one of you was arguing that she didn't?
I want to fight you myself.
So you're, so that's, you, you come from the place of she did drop the ball on purpose.
There's no other place.
Okay.
I'm just, I'm just clarifying that that's your stance.
Apparently there is, because there's one person out there who would still like to pick this fight.
Who believes that Lori Petty generated the force to jar the ball loose from a Gina Davis who was trying to...
Her character arc was completed.
She was trying to give her sister a win.
It was the last best gift she could give her sister before they were separated again.
I'm sorry there.
What if she choked?
What if she choked?
we are in a fight now i'm sorry i thought this would be funnier we can cut this do you think
do you like do you think she told her teammates that's what she did no let me let me put it
this way if if you were gina davis and you carry this different that that character doesn't
have that level of egotism but if you but how long could you carry this around before like
eventually you're going to get into a different fight with your sister and you're going to say
Oh yeah well I fucking drop that ball
Oh let me be clear
I'm not Gina Davis I would hold this for
Maximum impact and bring it up like 20 years later
Like on their deathbed
Like whisper it
Wow
Or at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony
Oh that'd be good
Oh look there's the ball I dropped on purpose
Because I'm stronger than you
And better at baseball
Always was always will be
Go peaches
The movie definitely wants you to believe
She dropped the ball on purpose
like they very it's it's very clearly like that's what they that's the story they want yes i don't see how
any other reading of the movie as a text is possible i would now pay ten thousand dollars to hear
mad dog rousseau and mike francesa reunite i would no way
no way by those dames no way those dizzy dames it completed a character arc mad dog
it was beautiful what was the movie they watched
together?
They watched
the horse
whisperer
she had to do it
she had to do it
no the actual
quote was
they're sitting there
and mad dog
goes she had
to do it
and very thoughtfully
and gravefully
Mike Princess
nods his head
and goes
it was the
right call
dog
it's the right
it's the best
thing ever
published in
the New Yorker
and it is
about these two
fucking morons
wait this was in
the New Yorker
It wasn't in the New Yorker.
It's sublime.
I can't believe I've never showed this to you.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
And so, when I read it, I had to put it down because I was crying, laughing for five minutes straight.
It's really quite funny.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
But yeah, just the two of them discussing league of their own.
They're like, glory, petty.
Yeah, she's not a five tool player.
Not a five tool player.
But what a dame.
I mean, she's scrappy.
I'll give me that.
That Rosie O'Donnell, though.
All those curves
And me with nobles.
Welcome to the shutdown
Welcome to the shutdown fullcast.
You are listening to the shutdown fullcast.
You are listening to the
internet's only college football podcast i am spencer hall joined by my co-host jason kirk hello jason hi
how are you i'm good thank you for asking how's your how's your week going buddy oh it's
going pretty good so far um a little bit a little bit of gray sky out here but we're persevering it's
not quite hoodie weather looks like it doesn't feel like it though don't be yeah we're i think we got
to we got into false false fall
no we've been through cowards fall
cowards fall and now we are in summer
3.0 summer 3.0 it was kind of a it was like
shuddy weather like should should I put on a hoodie
oh I thought you were making a shirzy
hoodie combination like if we had one of those
thin hoodies made of jersey material
oh I like that's the thin hoodie
the real real thin hoodie that's the perfect garment
I wish that they were more popular like
nationally because really that would be all
we needed here
shouldies season i like it the other voice you are hearing is our perpetual guest host holly
anderson i haven't been a guest for months why are you erasing me i'm sorry just like in real life
just like in real life holly anderson hi holly how are you i was better a few minutes ago
but then the podcast started i'm literally tethered to you by metal cords tethered by metal
chords, not tethered to me by metal cores, but by bonds of emotion, too strong to break.
Counselor Ryan Nanny.
Didn't we almost have it at all?
I would actually prefer to be called guest host because I feel it gives me a level of legal
distance that might come in handy down the room.
Plausible deniability.
Oh, no, you're in this.
We've been through this.
You're a lawyer, so everything we say here is protected.
That's right.
including the listeners the listeners the listeners everything that they're saying back to us in their cars
in their homes uh wherever they're listening to this out in the wilderness
which who knows after you end this podcast which could be right now who's to say um someone could
end this podcast i want you to google crime fraud exception that's it ooh
again you are your own attorney remember that's the most powerful attorney you have
Don't say anything.
Look up crime fraud exception.
Do your own research.
Ryan, has there been,
have you or anyone you loved been hit or harassed or damaged by a pedal-based form of entertainment and bar in Nashville?
No.
Are there pedal tavern lawyers?
I'm telling him, this is this is a sideline.
You need to be a pedal tavern lawyer.
Yeah, it beats being a blogger.
Am I, am I working for the pedal tavern?
Or am I working for those accosted by them?
You could chase an ambulance pretty easily if it was a pedal tavern.
If it was petal.
I think you're making your own reign by establishing two law firms, bankrolling the other one,
and ginning up an entire economy of pedal tavern-related lawsuits.
So one is pedal prosecution and one is pedal crime defense?
Yes.
I mean, the city recently filed a lawsuit to shut down the hot tub pedal tavern.
I don't think that one's a pedal tavern.
but it is a, like, mobile hot tub.
Wait, are you trying to tell me somebody was running an unlicensed mobile hot tub?
I believe that's right.
Yeah, I believe that is right.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry, I want to stop.
Holly, did you say hot tub crime machine?
I did, thank you.
I love you and I cherish you.
Thank you.
From three.
Is Nashville just, like, lazy Vegas?
Like, just sit and wait and just sit and wait and this, like, half-ass debauchery will roll past you,
and you can climb on.
Can I tell you my favorite fact
that's like 10 years old?
Although I'm sure it's still true.
Do you know where the top three highest concentration,
like in the world,
the top three highest concentrations
of either like physical weddings chapels
or weddings performed per year are?
One is Vegas, which you can probably guess.
Two is Istanbul, or at least it was at the time.
Three is Gatlinburg.
Huh.
So the idea that I have in mind,
is that you converge from wherever you are in the Midwest
on Nashville for your bachelor party
and then you just continue marauding
east like a parade of locust
that has monogram decals in your back window
basically
can I tell you a little bit about the hot tub
I would
I want to hear nothing but
hold all my calls
while you do this
okay I'm gonna I'm gonna summarize it as best I can
there is there is a
there is one of the traveling
Bachelor slash Bachelorette Bacchanalia devices
is called Music City Party Tub
Wait, dudes do this? I thought this was a lady's only process.
I think this, no, I think some of these are like dudes and ladies.
Do they have seat belts on the ones for dudes?
I have concerns.
I don't know, actually.
I just want to know how many dudes rented it and they were just like, all of a sudden,
they're like, yeah, so we got eight dudes in a hot tub.
This is nowhere near as entertaining as we wanted.
it to be. Oh, disagree. So the city's lawsuit alleges that Music City Party Tub, just a wonderful
phrase to say, is operating illegally without a public swimming pool permit, but it also is
not registered with the state and does not have a business license. And basically what they say
happened is, in 2019, the proprietor of this submitted, like was told by the health department,
And like, all right, submit some design plans for your mobile hot tub, apply for this permit, whatever.
They had somebody go and inspect the trailer that has a hot tub on it and give, and they gave him a list of things that had to be done before they would give him a permit.
And then he just never showed up.
He never came back and he just started rolling around town in his hot tub, in his mobile hub.
They can't catch him.
They can't find him?
no well clearly discovered a Nashville Philly portal we have somewhere yeah yeah except here's
slips backs to Pennsylvania as soon as he turns the corner here's the key difference in Philly
they would just say this is illegal and that's why I like it this guy claims that his hot tub
is 50 gallons short of the minimum capacity for a public pool that sounds like an insult that
you would whisper to somebody at like a family reunion he's 50 gallons short 50 gallon short
hot tub and he's going bald too
bless his heart but the
but the city is like
that requirement doesn't that
exemption doesn't exist you just made it up
well what is the
like how big is this swimming what is
how big I think it has to do more with like
how you're using something versus how big
it is but who swims in a hot tub
isn't this legislative
okay I have a serious question
yeah doesn't this fall under the
Doesn't this fall under the same general umbrella of legislating intent that gets us into philosophical hot water with legislating hate crimes?
No pun intended.
Because ultimately what you're legislating here is intent, right?
I guess so.
Yeah, I guess it is about like what is the intended use of your, so you're saying it would be perfectly fine if this gentleman had Music City Party tub, but it was just for him.
and because he has decided to make it a business, he has crossed the line.
Wait, wait, wait.
It's not a, it's not a swimming pool.
It's a wet chair.
Yeah.
What if it was just like, hey, I have a private club.
I drive around and I sell memberships to my friends to sit in my web chair.
All right, all right, does it matter?
Trademark, by the way, trademark.
Does it matter?
Does it matter that he has a hashtag on the back of the, on the back of the vehicle?
that says Splashville.
Anybody could have put that there.
Yeah.
Can't he just argue,
this is my bus and it has rained?
Of all the places to argue
for the existence
of rogue bands of ladies,
wandering around town with their cricket machines,
just plastering decals
on everything. Nashville's the strongest
case. Splashville, by the way,
it's an old family name. We're French.
Splashby.
I don't see what's wrong with having a very leaky bus
But I mean
I want to be clear
This is not
He didn't just like
Put a tarp up in some ways to
Like it's a literal hot tub
So and then it was filled with rain
It's not his fault
What if we
Turn off the heat on the thing
Fill it with fish
Give everyone hooks
And lures
And rods
And we turn it into
a floating fishing
pond, aka
like the livest well imaginable.
I like that we've come
back to live wells where there should not be
live wells, like three episodes in a row.
I love this energy.
What could go wrong, by the way, with getting a
bunch of idiots who would party in Nashville
on a Friday night hammered and
handing them hooks they can send flying
through the air?
What if we use the little magnet
fish and give them that little
And no one can be harmed.
And additional potential of electrocution, which I like.
What if we go the other way and give everyone spear guns?
Harpoon guns.
Hey, we're going harpooning from a bachelor party.
It's going to be awesome.
Five hours later.
Charlin said, don't ever fight a crying woman with a harpoon gun entering a sports bar.
And we're about to test that theory.
That's the last time you do that to me, Randy, son of a bitch.
right anyway you've given us a lot you've given us a lot to thought to think
you're welcome um you know Nashville they say they're business friendly but then they tell you
that you got to get a license for your hot tub on a truck and it's like show me in the
constitution show me in the commerce clause it ain't there hot tub is not in the constitution
i look frequently interstate commerce clause for a reason this is Broadway right this is
the inner tube commerce cost
nailed
god I hope that exists
this is
like you've brought so much to the show
this week Ryan because this wasn't even
what you wanted to talk about to start the show
you have an existential issue
that wasn't the existential issue
no this isn't the existential
I just assumed this was it okay no my existence
is perfectly fine outside of
Nashville party pool
so I
I tweeted a pointless tweet
that's not the important thing.
I said that I thought
the bridesmaid dresses
in the Fansville commercial
where they have the wedding,
I was like,
I think those actually look very nice.
I think like that's,
of bridesmaid dresses
I have seen,
like it's a pretty nice color,
looks good on people,
looks good on like a wide range of people.
There's no weird silhouettes.
Right, right.
I'm like, I think that,
you know, throw away meaningless,
whatever.
And then Dr. Pepper responded to me and said,
if it was up to us
that'd be the color of the wedding dress
are they
calling Natalie a tramp
sure I mean
are they saying that Natalie is a tramp
but they were overruled by some kind of power
over Dr. Pepper
who has more power than Dr. Pepper
that's my question so that's my
that's where I'm really getting tripped up
because it's like it is up to Dr.
like unless Dr. Pepper is telling us
that Fansville is
a simulation spun out of their control
where they cannot dictate.
With our help.
Right.
And I'm like...
I mean, this was basically our...
We basically manifested Fansville lore
into the real world on our own.
But...
So who controls it now?
So you have like...
It's kind of a matrix situation, right?
Where they're bringing...
They're trying to define the Neo
who can reset the whole thing.
The color of the dresses,
it's like the color of a Dr. Pepper can.
It's that dark red.
right yeah yeah yeah and on the wedding dress also she does have the jersey stripes down the side
the very nice the very nice accent so what they're saying is if it were up to them that color
would be on the the bridal dress entire I that appears to be the case yeah but it's not up to
them who is it up to well it could I mean why wouldn't it just be up to her she said no
Dr. Pepper, I do my own research.
I don't listen to doctors.
But see, even in that,
this woman within the Dr. Pepper
universe, whom we love, she's our favorite
character, you're saying that she now
has free will. Right.
Of course, they all did all along.
You're saying everyone in the Dr. Pepper universe has
free will and are making these choices
of their own volition?
Did we think they were animatronics
all along? Controlled
via Dr. Pepper
mind machines.
Listen, this is going to make me sound really stupid, but I thought they were actors.
Until now.
No.
They do these performances live 100 times per Saturday, over and over.
Eddie George actually is animatronic, though.
There really is a Stephen King story that lines up almost exactly with this, and it's called,
You know, they got a hell of a band.
This is terrifying.
It's about literal rock and roll heaven being a tourist trap town on a lonesome high.
highway that you get lost on and all the dead rock and rollers are trapped there performing forever
what what i see here is dr pepper wanted her dress to be a certain color and she rejected the
patriarchy she elected the the dress that she uh that she wanted that's actually a very canny
feminist inversion of insisting upon uh the insisting upon the color so associated uh you know
with with purity and all of the you know all of the baggusting
that has come with that throughout the centuries so maybe she's like she's like I'm
definitely not a virgin but I will wear this dress fuck you well and also it has red
accents like that clearly indicates I am my own person this might have been a
dress inherited from a grandmother or something but it has no it hasn't her
grandmother's dress was also football themed because this is fans feel like so she
also decided to have Joe Thysman at her calling her wedding yes so that he could be
tackled just wisdom across the board by her right yeah so what does dr pepper control at this point
i think that's is that the overall story dr pepper's losing control has fansville broken contain
did they control the portal through which fansville now like basically do they just control
the windows did the transfer portal and appearing in fansville work a little too well are there
immutable laws of the fans like is the so there's the lysine contingency in
Jurassic Park where the dinosaurs have given lysine or they will die is Dr.
Pepper the lysine uh I feel so bad that Felder's not here right now is Dr.
pepper the lysine of the fansville human population you know listener out there if you
are interested in seeing the first work of fiction to develop a fully functioning rule for
physical active transfer portals uh that that work their way in and out of a college football
themed universe sinful 7.com.
Thank you. It was a year ago.
It's okay. It's okay. A year and a half ago. It's okay.
Still good, far as I can tell.
Still good. Still works. Dr. Pepper doesn't control
that either. There's no Dr. Pepper
in it because they couldn't afford us. The color of the cover
suggests that it's
within the extended universe, doesn't it?
That's true. Makes you think.
Anyway,
Dr. Pepper, come throw us some fucking sponsorship money,
you cowards. Seriously, the amount of, the amount of
emotional labor that we have thrown this
sentient soda brand of again
our own free will
Actually I'm going to bypass
The fake powers at Dr. Pepper
Oh wait we have
Yeah just just like the brat
The puppet government
At Dr. Pepper
User bend to mouth suggestion
Has a suggestion for
Our slogan for when
Dr. Pepper picks up a
sponsorship of this show which is 23
flavors
23 flavors and about 25 snakes
24 flavors of snake
Maybe
Hey you know what
Jason that sounds like you're doing a little bit of
Podcast business
Yeah
What's that sound
Podcast business
What's that business?
Podcast business
It's a business
Podcast business
With the business
It's the stuff we do to make money
To feed our dogs and cats and stuff
I'll get to a second verse.
Home field apparel.
They got shirts with dogs and cats and stuff.
So many dogs and cats.
As they've noted, dogs and cats are very popular shirts.
Their number two shirt of Big New Saturday was a dog playing golf.
Number one was also an animal, if I recall correctly.
A lot of alligators performed very well.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
We also, our Tampa listeners got very upset at me in particular last week because I did not acknowledge that USF, despite not being part of Big New Saturday, is now part of the homefield family.
So if you want to get a very top heavy bull standing on its two high, on its two back legs, looking like it's ready to like fight and hug you, the traditional form of Tampa greeting, you can get that now.
Fight hug.
Yeah.
Go golden diamonds.
It is a sick logo.
Like that 90s USF logo, is heat?
That's good.
I like the Rombus bank logo one.
Like the very bank logo is the only way can describe it.
That is a very Tampa thing.
That USF, they're like, what does our logo look like?
You're like, a really tough, nasty bank.
Dirty bank.
Dirty bank.
It's a very, very important thing.
It is the most comfortable.
dirty bank shirt you will ever wear this bank you can still smoke in welcome to
2021 why are you keep coming up with awesome business you have no license for your bank you can
smoke in ryan i'm sorry i thought this was america and for some reason it's like a tractor
i roll around nashville welcome to smoking bank pedal bank hot tub bank we got wet money and cigarettes
We got wet crypto.
Hot tub dimes machine.
You look like you had a bad...
You look like you had a bad day at the beach, brother.
Do you need to lay low somewhere?
Come to Tampa smoking bags.
Lay in the back of a hot tub.
Your wanted stars will go down so quickly.
Cops can't see you underwater if it's warm.
It's got healing properties.
You know who can't see in the hot tub?
predator. Predator has no idea
where he are. Predator's like
damn it, he disappeared and he also
appears to be so relaxed. I'm
detecting immense relaxation and invisibility.
Yeah. Petter just wanted to go to Jason
Aldean's bar, but instead
do it!
Do it! Buy me a yard of beer!
Buy me a huge cartoonist drink.
Holly's physical
revulsion to this is the correct response.
No, it's just so loud, he's in my monitor.
Just do the
tiny donkeys thing again.
Tiny donkeys in the hot tub with me, the wet chair and my tiny donkeys.
Wet donkeys.
My tiny donk and the tiny donkeys.
I would, listen, I'm not that interested in Lower Broad.
I would go down to Broadway for Arnold Schwarzenegger's tiny donkey honky tonk.
We're going to donkey talking.
I need, can we take an intermission?
I need to cry.
I need to cry because this is so beautiful.
This isn't even what the show is about today.
Home field apparel.
Home field apparel.
Oh yeah, you use offer code fullcast.
You get 20% off your first order.
That's right.
And maybe honky tonk,
tiny donkey will make its appearance there at some point.
Because I'm a donkey talk man.
And I don't know where to stop.
to hear the little sound of their
hooves when they go clipclubs.
It's the fuck, man.
Yeah.
I didn't think I'd, like when I started
this day, I didn't think I'd end up singing
Dwight Yolkham and Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice.
Shout out to Colorado School of Mines.
The original donkey tongue school.
You know what you could put into the jukebox
at Arnold's tiny donkey honky tonk.
That's right. Money.
You can put money.
Your retirement account.
Your whole retirement.
Put the entire retirement account into it.
Why retire in a retirement home when you can retire in Arnold's roving donkey hot tub?
Acorns.com
by Joe D. Messina 58,000 times and leave.
Slash full cast, where if you go to the thing and download the thing, you get $5.
She thinks my donkey's sexy.
You can retire a few seconds earlier with those $5, plus the money you add to those $5.
that then multiplies via market magic.
You know, with the demise of the bad boy, mowers bulb,
we can use our retirement accounts to find,
to found our own line of tractors and lawn equipment,
John Donk.
Their crimson.
For wide-hipped men.
According to the app,
I will still be working at age 83,
but I have a feeling that we're whittling it down.
That's right.
I will rest my bones on the mower in the donkey tub
that is traveling throughout Nashville while I bank.
I mean, Acorns also hasn't taken into account
the money you're going to see from your competing hot tub pool business.
Yeah, or from your competing children who can both have their own early start accounts
under the early plan.
Let me give you the score this week.
Oh, we've had some motion, y'all, okay, because
my, as you're familiar, my younger son has been embezzling from his account and making his own
investments. Right now, we are down to the lowest margin yet. Wow. Yeah, older son, older son,
the law abiding one. The reckoning. Is catching up. Now, this means one of two things has
happened. One, either my younger son is siphoning off money from his account slowly, like a gas leak,
so that I won't notice it until it's too late.
Or the older son has figured out how to do crimes now
and is catching up that way.
Because the margin is now...
Am I wrong in saying he would...
He would tell you if he had figured out how to do crime.
I'm committing crimes.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So let's just rule that one out.
Unless he doesn't know it's a crime.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Unless I get...
Unless I put down my headphones today and go over
and he immediately says,
says hey dad I'm committing crimes he might do that he does crave approval he's at that age
yeah he would and I'd approve I love this sequel to hell or high water yes it's my favorite
part of the acorns experience my children learning the joy of investing and on the side
financial crimes if you're going to be a real investor you have to commit some kind of financial
crime all finances crime yeah all finances crime acorns crime
All property is theft
We love our sponsors
Not all crime is finance
But not all theft is property
But all crime is fun
That's true
All hot tubs are technically wet naps
But not all wet naps are hot tubs
Oh man you could take a wet nap in there
See
This is how Spencer dies
This is 100%
Spencer took a nap
In the national hot tub and he drowned
I just ate ribs
What do I do
Hot tub
you are the only adult I know who sleeps like on their stomach as though they have been dropped into their crib yeah this could happen you could drown in very shallow water you know every now then there'll be a story out of Arizona where they're like two retirees were found dead in their hot tub it turns out that turns out that they each had like nine drinks and they smoked a bunch of weed taking a bunch of pills and they were like hey let's go chill in the hot tub that sounds fantastic that never sounds like a tragedy to me I'm always like well you gotta go how are you feeling
awesome super chill super chill how did you die in my bad ass hot tub that'd be fantastic if
if the answer to how did you die is i don't know then how bad could it have been yeah that's true
man i woke up somebody's like yeah you died in a hot tub and i was like awesome next thing i know
i was out of there how did you go torn to torn to pieces by wolves man that sucked how did you
die i died in a hot tub drunk off my ass abe's nice abe lincoln would have much rather died in a hot tub
you kidding me i don't know he's really tall guy his whole upper torso would be really cold i feel
it's got to be a big hot tub and he's got a slouch he's got to lay down in the thing yeah
yeah although the humor the humor of looking up into the balcony going oh no he stayed in the hot tub
sweet too long oh no he wrinkled the death
dead John Wilkeswood standing there with a gun you stay in that hot tub
the president has disintegrated yeah six separate hot tub this is the white house
down sequel that we deserve where a white house drown thank you thank you yes yes
the president's being held in a hot tub the president is so he's having he's having a good
time the president is soggy it
has the little neon lights that you can change the colors and everything.
It's transfixed.
We're invoking the 25th Amendment because the president's in a hot tub and he's had four beers.
He's too chill to do the job.
He's too chill to lead.
He's too chill to lead.
Yeah, yeah.
Man, that's pretty good idea.
Like before you go into the room where it's like, do we do a war or not, let the president get a good soak in and have a few beers.
And then he gets to decide whether we're going to do the war.
Jack Bauer bursts through the door and shoot some of the war.
chest. If the idea of the job being terrible doesn't dissuade you enough from wanting to be
president, think about like four straight years in which you cannot in good conscience pop
and editable before bed. That is, I will say, the designated survivor, not the television show,
but the actual person at the state of the union, they should get to, put on the television show,
but on the television show. But on the television show. I think, I think the designated survivor,
and we should like have a camera, like a picture and picture during the state of the union,
they should get to be like in a chill out tent or a hot tub or something like that
because if things go super wrong and they have to lead the country we do want them in a chill
state of mind you want them well rested my sensory deprivation tank yeah you want the camera
to cut to them and they're kind of unfazed like right ready to leave a second sure okay
I realize I'm introducing more water to a scenario that if anything calls for drier conditions
but man how much better would it be if the state of the union was conducted i mean so there's a dais up
at the front right dunk tank hmm yeah only dunk tank with dodgeball elements like if the president
catches your softball he can throw it back sure sure wilson looking at you i'm still stuck on the
notion of the lone survivor being on the stationary bike designated survivor loan survivor is a
different television show i'm sorry the lone survivor being on the exercise bike like the backup
QB, like, yeah, here it goes.
He's like, holding the clipboard.
There's a net in front of him as he
signs, as he signs.
He's warming up.
It's got a ball cap. He has to
remove. He or she has to remove.
It's like, are you at a Fairfield
in? Yeah, the buffet here's great.
He sits in on every meeting.
He's there. He's the first guy
in the facility, last out.
Do we
do we have any
further podcast business that you would like
to mention
Let's
Another show
Oh right
Yeah
We do
But in case
In case anyone is
Still trying to
Catch up on things
This season
If you're looking
For the second episode
The weekend
Recap episode
We still do it
It's on a different feed
Fullcast after dark
Is the name of the feed
It also goes up
On the Lebitard
and Friends account
Because we are friends
of Lebitard
as of officially
As of a monthish ago
I like that you
We also have given you
Two options for how to
listen to this show
One you can listen to it
when it gets posted as a podcast where the audio is like pretty good, pretty normal,
and you just sort of hear it, uh, start normally and end normally.
These are all in, you know, relative forecast terms.
Or you can listen to it on, at Twitter spaces at like 1230 in the morning when half our phones
don't work and we're not sure when the show is started and things, uh, weirdly echo.
And the transcript says Jason is just saying mom over and over again.
So you have like two different, you can have like,
you know vanilla ice cream or you can have ice cream with rocks in it you can have ice cream that is like
still not made yet yeah you can have milk just hot milk hot tub of milk that's what we give you every
midnight eastern Saturday on Twitter I have a confession to make yeah so it has been jokes have
been made before about how I literally went to school for for this for performing arts and
audio is obviously my weak spot and even I with my look it's the Tennessee is not a great school
but my program is a good program and I can't fix the I can't fix the audio consistently you know
server is a professional and the better than any of us and the haint has bested him at times the
haint is in the process of besting our new engineer from metal art I got a confession to make
it was about four o'clock in the morning on Saturday night when I was
ruminating over the bumpy start we had logging into Twitter spaces because one of the things exacerbating
the current conditions on the Saturday night show is that Twitter spaces is itself kind of a mess right now
and that's per Twitter's own engineers.
They're like, yeah, we're kind of trying this thing.
They, we have a very shared energy with them, which is, I think, one thing that makes the show
really work.
They're like, we don't know if this is going to work at all.
I'll just try this.
And it's almost impossible to get all of us onto the broadcast at the same time to start
the show at the same time.
for the first couple weeks like mine wouldn't turn on at all you know spencer and i had this
weird echo that's following us around and our listeners have taken it in great stride because we
have clicked trained y'all through much much worse over the years and they kind of reveled in
being around for the sound check on saturday night and about two hours after we all logged out
for the night i sat bolt upright and realized that we all could have just muted our phones until we
were all in the twitter space
forget on Saturday. You know that.
Oh, I know. Okay. Okay. And if I
remember, I have no intent of reminding anyone.
Okay.
I believe that concludes
podcast business.
On to...
On to the episode.
I'm going to lead us into this. Yeah, it's a good time to start this
episode of 44 minutes into...
Server, what are we at?
44?
Yeah, 44. All right.
Sorry, my microphones don't work.
I am a professional at audio.
Yeah, you sound like it.
It's a lean 44, though.
Server was better at his job I maintained before he joined up with us,
idiots.
I think Serber is playing down to his opponent,
and I get it.
I respect it.
Listen, he's reserving his strength.
He is like, he is Roger Federer letting some scrub in round one of world and take a set off him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Six, four, three, six, six one, six one.
that's still a win you're still moving on it's fine yeah so i have for our listening pleasure
uh queued up a number of scenarios from a twitter prompt we threw out this week which is
what is the dumbest thing you have ever been in or witnessed a physical fight over
now we set some parameters that we thought for very clear and as usual most of you blew by
these yes they had to be a physical fight uh yes it had to be you
not something you heard about.
We would also accept fights that you saw.
And,
no, that's about it.
That's all our parameters.
So many of our disaster episodes involve,
involved fisticuffs.
But after watching,
again, for the umpteenth time,
the video of the guy pulling a knife on the other guy,
as they argued over whether or not Glinda was a witch
in the Wizard of Oz.
we we decided to we decided to take this one to the people uh spencer what's the dumbest thing that
you have ever physically fought over or witnessed someone fighting over um i got into a fight
with a good friend of mine in college because i said the following words please stop reading
your journal to me oh god he's reading his journal
out loud to me he said please stop reading your journal to me and at that point we began to fight violently
yes yes it was so like um we're gonna have to bleep that out
so your opponent insisted on continuing to read or it was it was very much uh you have offended
my honor by stating that you have crippling ADHD and can no longer take me reading my journal
out loud to you because it's for you man
I cannot imagine anything worse
And then we got into a fight
That's basically just long-form Twitter
How'd the fight go?
I won
West is pretty small
I won, that's the problem
Is that I was wearing him like a backpack
And slamming him into the door behind me
And did he surrender and agree to terms?
That's not Jason born of you
Yeah
No, it was very like I discovered
That was when I discovered my fighting style
Which was use anything in the room
and hit people with it.
I'm not,
I'm not good at fighting,
but I'm very creative.
Very creative.
I would have hit him with a phone book if we'd had one, right?
I would have done the born thing.
Oh, I've never gotten to do that.
That's a dream still.
It's not too late.
Hey, next live show,
I think we should let,
if we, let's do this,
let's combine two things.
If we hit a certain charity bowl goal,
Holly gets to hit Spencer with a phone book
at a live show.
Oh, I was.
I thought you were going to say
a member of the winning fan base
gets to fight Spencer.
I don't like that because
Michigan has many students.
Michigan has produced many alumni.
They know a lot of things about war, though.
They've read about a lot of duels.
Yeah.
The dumbest fight I have ever witnessed in person
was I'm going to have to obfuscate some details here
because of the governmental and religious jobs
a couple of the people involved in this brawl now hold.
But one of my very good friends, speaking of metal arc, this is not that poppy, but shout
out to Poppy, one of my very best friends at college who became involved in a lengthy bout
of fisticuffs over whether or not a deer, a given deer, was in fact a 10-point buck.
For those of you who aren't familiar with deer hunting, you can determine.
whether or not something is a 10-point buck by counting the amount of points on its antlers.
The deer in question was dead and right in front of us,
and this is an argument that could have been solved by counting to 10.
It was like my own real-life version, though I didn't know it yet,
of John Boyce's dumbest boy alive.
Folks, if you have a hard time counting bucks, acorns.com.
Wow.
2003 some friends and I went to the Miami Florida game in Miami Florida blue a I want to say a 22 23 point lead in the second half we drove home and that night all feeling terrible through the night and in the morning two of my friends fought in the parking lot on campus at Florida and the subject was which one was more mature
that's it there is I have no nuance to the story there are no other levels they were just fighting about which one of them was more mature yes the only fight I can remember being in and since middle school I don't remember why it happened I just remember me me and the homies did a lot of amateur MMA so like we thought we were really good at fighting and we'd also watched a lot of pro wrestling I think I've talked about it on here I don't know we've done this podcast for about 50 years but um in the background of
Publix this big fellow whose last name was
Valardi came charging at me
like a damn rhino so I hooked his head and hit him
with the DDT on the cement
it outweighed me by like 70 pounds
but it was a very easy fight to win
and everyone thought it was a badass but all I did
was fall over yeah all I did was
okay you want to go that way let's let's go
we are both going the way you were going which is your face into the ground
and like his big old like fucking
buzz cut you know like
the crew cut yeah his big old crew cut skull just
bong
just a satisfying thump
and then he pops up
and goes back to work
it was like
I fixed his brain
or something
I don't know
what we were fighting
about there
you have a hard reboot
yeah
you reset it
just reset
Valardi
dude
I want to go ahead
and rephrase this
though
because you just
like poor mouth
yourself there
you gave someone
a DDT
on the concrete
floor in the back
of a public
unplanned
on the spur of the moment
then we just popped
up like okay
I got aisle 7
and you know
back to work
dude you sold the hell out of that
that that's like that's like
wrestling he sold it in the shit
he was really he did sell it yeah
but you are in Anderson to him
that's spectacular
it worked
all right
we're going to turn now to the readers I have
collected a number of them
not to trigger
any
not not to trigger
any fans involved in the Alabama
A&M or
Ole Miss Arkansas game but I'm going to ask all of you
to pick six and we are going to lead off with uh oh no i'm saving that one for last i'm going to lead off
with with lootersuko with reader suco i just had a small stroke at it's bp though on
twitter i really like this one because of the ending and also because i feel like there's some
missing information that i would like us to just fill in i don't want it from the reader
at a night game tailgate
my friend threw a bowl
of beanie weenies on the ground
and started an epic
dozen of 18 year old versus 50 year olds
brawl that the wives had to break up
was fun though
was fun
did he dishonor
the beanie weanies
was that the problem
or were the beanie winnies the
gauntlet thrown down to signal
that he was not going to let some previous insult pass.
I think it's the gauntlet.
That to me is more entertaining.
It's like, no, this, no further.
The beanie weanies drop here.
Did the wives think it was fun?
Do wives like breaking up fights?
They had to break it up, so I'm guessing no.
Although if one of them was the architect of the original beanie weanies,
maybe perhaps they started something that they did not feel like
finishing for such a lengthy
amount of evening.
I would like
my first one that I would like to discuss
here is from
At Scooter 80
At a frat party
my roommate was snooping around
and pulled a catering pan out of their fridge
containing the prior day's sliced beef
the kind where the once
liquefied fat has congealed
he ate that filled cold
and I gave him so much shit
he finally had to punch me in the face
I misread this one initially
and I thought that the reader was so angry
at
at his roommate for eating this
that he punched him
like out of principle
I have to
right so this is not really
like this is an honor thing
this is not really a fight over a subject
so much as it is driving another person
I mean it's really all fights are about
you know defending your shitty choices on one level or another right i get this though because
i am the guy who would give him so much shit that i'd get punched i am that person are you also
the guy who would eat the old beef yes yeah i am also how will you escape his dungeon
how i can't i'm the duality the duality of man two statues guard adore one only eats old
beef the other only punches two wolves are incited one only one is eating old
hungry. Only one of them is hungry.
The other one is full, but doesn't feel
good. One of them wishes
it could have eaten the old beef.
You know, God damn it, Daddy.
All that talk about the wolf you feed
and not that talk about what you feed the wolf.
I could have used that information.
I just know there's just one moment where the guy's just been
hit and the other guy standing there with
the like tin of beef in his hand, right?
And it's like shit all over.
This is like aluminum.
So I'm holding it like this, right?
Yeah, and he's sitting there just
And he's going like, why did you just let me eat my beef?
But here's the problem.
Here's the problem.
When you have been punched by somebody who just ate a catering tray of old beef,
you can't punch them because the likelihood that they will throw old beef up onto you is very high.
Oh, you're aiming for just the nose.
You cannot, no body shots here because I honestly, I think, I think like the delicate balance is such that.
any contact with their body
would immediately
like if you even kicked him
in the shins heart
and startling
I think if he stumped his toe
he would throw up old beef everywhere
this is diabolical
because not only is he
the physical aggressor in this situation
he's turned himself into a
proximity mind
what kind of like
what kind of sauce scenario
did we just create
you've just eaten a bunch of old beef
you're on a trampoline
and I will begin bouncing
you've
And now you're invincible.
Wait, was that supposed to be saw?
Yeah, I do it.
Okay.
That's fine, yeah.
I think the strategy is to quickly uncircle the person.
They can't, they can't turn very fast.
They're full of old beef.
That's true.
And then you go for the headlock and, you know, they're already sleepy because they're
full of old beef.
Yeah.
You just sort of guide them to the ground and okay, sleep it off.
You tranked yourself.
Congratulations.
I feel like I've learned a lot today already.
He's hurt, Mike.
He's full of old beef.
This fight's over.
Um, okay. I will, uh, I will take one that I love because it's short but sweet.
This is from Wild West WX on Twitter.
Two of my high school buddies got in a fist fight over a nuance in hacky sack rules.
I was not aware that fist fights and hacky sack protocol junkies were an overlapping Venn diagram of any sort.
Well, Robert's rules of hacky sack.
sack is obviously
Rob it's Robbie
Robby's rules
of Hockey's
Robby's rules
J. Robb's rules
of Hackey's
Brody
Brody
Brody
Naismith
Like
I don't
isn't the whole
point of Hackysack
that you're going
to do something
vaguely physical
that is in no way
competitive or
at all violent
like Hackysack is
the least
violent physical activity
you can do
right?
that was my confusion as well but but i mean i i i've seen a lot of uh taking pride in the
uh in a in a combo streak chain whatever you call yeah but what are what are the
like if i ask the three of you what are the rules of hacky-sac i thought it was like keep it
off the ground sure there are numerous it's like kids with a balloon right keep being numerous
schools yeah so it's like different fighting styles of hacky-sac yeah i
I hung out with enough...
I hung out with enough...
I hung out with enough skaters in high school
to gather that there are many important styles and distinctions
and, like, there is a negotiating round
what sort of hacky sack are we playing?
Like, there's also the pothead hacky sack
which is just, like, we're kicking an object because...
I thought that was hacky sack.
Yeah, I wrongly assumed that was the only iteration of hacky sack.
I mean, to be clear, potheads can be competitive.
Sure.
So you can't have a mix.
That's where true harmony is found.
I think it's one of those sports...
They're like, yeah, there are no rules, and there's actually 37 unwritten rules
that everybody's super passive-aggressive about, right?
Right. That's why I'm not an anarchist, because that's what anarchy is, right?
Like, yeah, man, and everybody just takes care of everybody.
It's like Bernie, man, there's actually 3,000 different rules you have to follow, right?
Think about it like this. Football, the most complicated sport in the world.
We spend hours watching it, and we understand, like, 0.01% of it.
Or football can be throwing a ball back and forth.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, 500 is football.
Thank you for putting the headline eight stabbed in Ultimate Frisbee fracas in my head, Ryan.
Thank you.
Go stay away from the ultimate course, man.
No, now, Ultimate, if you told me that that devolved into some, like, rules fighting,
I'd be like, yeah, Ultimate is frequently just like people who decided they shouldn't play rugby
because they can't control themselves.
Oh, that's absolutely my brother.
But Hackysack is more like, yeah, I don't know.
I thought Billiards was too fast.
pace. I decided I need something a little more chill.
I think the other thing with HakeySec is you get,
you get people who like identify as chill.
Yeah. And people always don't understand themselves very well.
You know what I'm saying? You got people who like really advertise and broadcast their chillness
and like, oh, I'm so laid back. And it's revealed that they're not.
Yeah. If you follow, if you follow my rules for declarative humanity,
that means that they're actually the most violent person in the world, right? Like, yeah, you know,
people just say I'm a free free spirit, I'm easy going, I'm freewheeling. That means that person
is the biggest control freak you have ever met. Well, see, and that actually tracks,
it sounds, it sounds funny, but that actually tracks into common sense because why would you feel
the need to state over and over again in a lot of these imagined cases that you are chill
unless there had been an argument made against that in some point. You are either, you for some
reason in your past you feel the need for your present self to state over again how chill you are
something's up there i do not have a knife i am extremely chill the chill is the chillest thing is to not
never claim to be chill the chillest thing is to not play hacky sack and to not even own a hacky sack ball
to do nothing it involves prank collar yeah just to play sack just sack out just sit there
let's say that don't say that don't i don't want you to say that
anymore sack
hey kids we're gonna play sack
to notice the resplendent light on jason
right now yeah it's magic hour
he's like a cat in a sunbeam yeah
it's early in the morning
the sunrise comes in over here and it's like
oh shit this is too bright and now this time of day
luckily it's cloudy or I'd be blinded
let's see here from
I'm a pumpkin doctor
you can find it
hoomst you can find it
JCDPB on
Twitter.com
brother and I argued in line at Kroger about whether Shiner holiday cheer tasted like Christmas
because we couldn't agree on a definition for what Christmas tasted like.
Now, per the rules of the assignment, I'm going to assume this means pumpkin, doctor, and
brother then physically fought in Kroger over this.
So we will assume...
I allowed this in because the premise was so funny.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, this was not listed, but I allowed it on that reason.
I'm just going to assume a fight took place.
It's Kroger.
Yeah.
A fight was happening somewhere.
them the best of you guys because you should fight
over this. Yeah, if this were a... Literal wars
have been fought over this. If this were a republics
you wouldn't fight it. If this were an H.E.B.
in Texas, they have established
procedures for that in Texas, right? Like, all right
fellas. You take
this root and tooting argument out into the
parking lot. That's happened before.
But if it's Kroger, they're going to let
you do anything. They'll let you strangle each other.
Oh, yeah. They're like, don't splash blood on the magazines.
Yeah. We can't resell them.
Except blood magazine.
We could have some of them, you can't.
lion. We just got that prepper quarterly
in. Don't get blood on it. No, that's
valuable with blood. Like, blood
iron in it. You need that. You can sell it.
You can
do DNA
stuff. It's just sick. I want to say something
controversial. Yeah.
I don't think anything should taste like Christmas
because when I think about Christmas, I think about
pine trees. And if I want gin,
I will just drink gin.
So I would argue if we're going
historical with it, the most
Christmas flavor you could get,
would be the old beef tray.
That sounds like sleeping in a manger to me.
Like, that's Christmas as hell.
You know, a manger, what is it if not a beef tray?
An old beef tray, that's right.
Our Lord was born in a beef tray.
Jesus is old beef.
And then the Romans roasted him for it.
And what did he come here to resolve?
Old beef, in fact.
Yeah, yeah.
The Roman Empire itself was the old beef.
Yeah.
And I'll leave you sleeping like baby cheese.
Jesus in that old beef tray if you eat that beef tray around me on principle.
Oh, Todd, he looks like a little angel, just baby Jesus in a beef tray.
I would like to redo the last supper where he breaks the bread, but then he passes the beef tray.
It's sort of more of like a Philly last supper at this point.
Oh, my God, Bethlehem.
Eat it.
Stupid ass.
I would like...
Also at the nativity was a stupid ass.
There was a donkey right there.
and it didn't talk.
It's not my tiny, though.
Oh, man.
I want to go to the Schwarzenegger Christmas pageant.
Ooh, boy.
We talk about a problem about a Christmas pageant.
Oh, the Kennedys aren't invited.
Why are there so many butts involved in this?
Why'd you give it the baby wine?
This baby is very strong.
Extremely developed.
Riding a muscular tiny donkey.
No, I was just thinking he would make the angel like suspense.
themselves from the ceiling, just like doing a rope climb the entire time?
One thing, friend.
Is there an angel in the nativity pageant?
I don't know.
I don't know God.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Talks to the mod die, right?
All the shepherds would have to strip because robes can teal swallness.
The angel is the one who knocked up Mary.
Oh, that's right.
Friend of the program, John actually saw it recently in California.
During the play.
He was in Santa Monica and he saw Arnold rides his bike every day on the beach in Santa Monica.
and Arnold
he saw Arnold
He's got one of those
like fat tire bikes
He does and he saw Arnold
on his morning ride
and I was like
how did you not just run
after him going like
I would instantly
begin chasing him
hollering all sorts of
Arnold things at him
and people say
you are you're difficult
to work with
yeah blow out his earphones
yeah see
I would like to share
one from user terminal fatigue
it is brief to the point
and stunning
witness day brawl
in the front row
of a they might be
Giants show.
Once again,
I feel like the
collection of people here
should exclude fighting.
Now,
now,
you know what this was?
One was going,
Istanbul,
the other one,
Constantinople!
The fucking crusades are happening.
Got your Turkish delight
right here, pal.
We got the damn
Byzantines and Romans
warring in the
Mosh pit at the
They Might Be Giants show.
Maybe the problem
was they were literally
giants.
They saw giants.
Put a birdhouse.
They are giants.
You're going to be Particle Man by the time I'm through with you.
Triangle Man does hate Particle.
It was written.
They had a fight.
Particle Man.
There was Particle Man.
Where is he?
Where is he?
He looks over and he says, oh, shit.
The dude from Silent Hill, Triangle Man.
Going Birdhouse on your ass.
Is this the silliest band to have a fight at their concert?
It's up there.
Gosh.
It's, it's well.
Nah, because Rafi's got kids and kids will fight over almost anything.
Okay.
Yeah.
If you're an adult fighting at the Rafi concert, yeah, you fucked up.
Something happened.
I would say Yanni, but Yanni just implies adultery.
Sure.
Yeah.
Not Weird Al.
He's got songs about fighting.
Yeah, that might kick off in the pit at a weird Al show.
I mean, you just play like weasel stomping day and it's going off.
Yeah, that could get pretty rowdy.
I very much like it being canon that every concert.
has a pit.
Yeah,
never a concert.
Dina,
honest to God,
the way her Vegas shows
have been going,
you know who could
really use one is
Celine Dion.
I would jump in there
without questions.
So it's Celine.
This is fantastic.
I'm doing the fighting.
She would also,
like,
if I could go,
which diva grade
singer would totally
give death metal
a 110% committed run
for an entire song, it would be
Celine Dion. She would
like she would crank it, like she would open her mouth and you'd hear
that's a terrifying noise. I'm going to flip over
to another concert tale from
Mark Parker at Parker 45.
Now once again, I am assuming
fisticuffs here and I am assuming fisticuffs
because it is funny.
First fight ever
for me and future wife
was at the Far Made concert
and it was because she left to get
a corn dog and didn't come back
with one for me. In my
head, these two
decided to settle it in the octagon
emerged with a mutual respect
and then decided to get
married. Yeah. They didn't even
know each other before this. I just
want to carefully frame this so it is not
an endorsement of partner violence
but two adults
coming together to settle a
serious crime
a serious crime in
you know, in one of the old ways.
like because they're married
I assume that she kicked his ass at least a little
corn dog fight
is it a fight over the corn dog
or the principal
and which one is stupider
but the principal is
less than a corn dog
the stupidest possible thing would be calling it
a corny dog which is what
they call it at the Texas State Fair
ew yeah
is it different in some meaningful way
no it's a corn dog
but they call it corned
corny dogs because like every state fair every state fair claims that every food was invented at said state fair and no state fair is bigger than the texas has a stronger claim to this than most of than the texas state fair right the texas state fair has invented every kind of absolute garbage grease fire food all of them invented at the texas state fair allegedly and the guy who did it marketed his version of the corn dog which i'm sure existed for 50 years prior as a corny dog to which
Which to me, if I had a time machine, instead of going back and helping humanity, I would go back and punch people in the face, like this guy.
It's like, no, I would call it a corny dog.
You got to just find something to hit him with.
The U.S. the patent for the corn dog was filed in 1927 and granted in 1929 for a combined dipping.
It took two years for them to decide.
Listen, listen.
Research testing.
Send us more corn dogs.
We haven't yet decided yet.
Was there a government guy in a bowler who looked like William Taft, who was like, I must sample these.
Here is a segment of the patent.
I have discovered that articles of food, such, for instance, as weaners, boiled ham, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, sliced peaches, pineapples, bananas, and like fruit and cherries, dates, figs, strawberries, et cetera, when impaled on sticks and dipped in batter, which includes in its ingredients a self-rising flour, and then,
deep fried in a vegetable oil, the
resultant food product on a stick
for a handle is a clean, wholesome
and tasty refreshment.
No. Holesome. It is neither clean
nor wholesome. Tasty is up.
Listen, I can only conclude that
the holder of this patent was
the very hungry caterpillar, based
on the amount of shit that they put
in. At first, he fried one
plum, then he fried one peach,
then he fried.
Yes. On page,
on page four, the very hungry caterpillar has a
heart attack.
Then he's fried big techs.
But I feel like he would really
like where we're going with this.
And then
I said big techs on fire. Correct, Jason.
Spencer, go right ahead.
I want to go ahead and go
to
bad rooster fly,
a.k.a. chance.
Which is argument last to this day
between myself
and a few of my fraternity brothers over whether
or not our friend could defeat
a mountain lion in hand-to-hand
combat see why you picked this one mm-hmm the statement i could definitely bench more than a
mountain lion was made at one point in complete sincerity bench no shit let's unpack let's unpack
is the the assumption that fighting is about benching what the fuck that first of all the
idea of a mountain lion being like yeah bro it's chest day hold on like spot spot me spot me
The idea of a cat lying on its back on a bench.
Wrapping its paws around the bar.
First of all, everybody knows that mountain lions prefer incline bench.
Everybody knows that.
You see, incline's actually better for you, Ryan.
I can explain to you about the angle.
But you see, flat bench is not actually good for pectoral development.
Because what you want is that shelf across the top, right?
Obviously, a mountain lion prefers an incline.
That's right.
that's right yeah yeah they're doing the salmon pull-up yeah they're doing the salmon pull-ups that's how they
prepare themselves to like fling themselves out of trees at their prey just seeing them out and just seeing a mountain line on the bench
some dude over it going quit archin bitch quit archin that's no yeah that's what started the fight
quit that power lifting shit man i feel like we hear a lot of these arguments and not enough
about whether or not anybody decides to find out i have i have a link from outside magazine
how a man killed a mountain lion
with his bare hands
was this the small one
I don't know
because it was a right so there was a guy
who was killed a baby mountain
it was like yeah
oh yeah younger than a year old
that's fucked up yeah and it was like starving
it was yeah it was kind of
never even been to the gym
yeah but yeah bro he was still on push
he was still on body weight
he wasn't even through his first cycle
of starting strength
mountain lion just pushed the bar
No way, it's, and you're out here bragging about defeating it.
No, he's not, that is not the case that I think is actually the impressive I kicked a mountain lion's ass.
I know this is going to derail us and I'm so happy it is.
All right, 2007, California, and the Prairie Creek Redwoods on a tent at the tail end of a 10-mile hike.
When the Pac-12 still mattered.
When the Pack 10 still matter.
Sorry, apologies.
when was that
the lion pounced on Jim Ham at the tail end of the hike
Jim Ham Jim spell
H-A-M-M-G-Y-M
G-Y-M
G-E-M-H-A-M
The mountain lion sitting there in like large predator court going
The man's name was Ham
How could I not
So he
He was attacked
The 70-year-old man
Was pinned down, face down on the trail
Nellham, his wife, screamed at the lion, grabbed a branch.
Nell ham.
Nell, will you make me the happiest ham, man?
Nellum.
She started beating the crap out of the mountain line with the stick.
That did nothing.
And she grabbed a pen from her husband's pocket and stabbed the mountain lion in the goddamn eye.
And broke it off.
yeah and then she picked up the branch again slammed it into his face the animal stepped back
and looking badass and yeah looking bad with the pen looking good bro with a rakish piratical charm
he's like how am i got a bench with this pen in my eye this is this i'm gonna miss fuck i'm never
gonna be a pilot now fuck yeah i guess like in a bodybuilding those are the two jobs
It's all they would mountain lions do these days.
It's going to be a mountain lion pirate, my little eye patch.
Pirate or pilot?
Yeah, so Nelham managed to fend off a mountain lion with nothing more than a stick
and a pen that she jabbed into the goddamn eye of a large mountain lion.
Mom, why do you always carry all that shit in your purse?
I hope she points to this article from now until the end of time.
That's right.
but also i hope i kind of hope that y'all are eaten by mountain lions sorry who who is the y'all
here i guess we'll find out okay let's continue let's continue let's continue who's next i think i think
it's my turn um i am going to go to this one from roy donk at big old mud pie
St. Louis
It only gets dirtier
St. Louis 2014
The Rams were 3 and 6
and last in the division
I was outside a bar
waiting on my Uber
where I saw a guy drunkenly
berate his buddy for not believing
that they'd make the playoffs
by the time my ride
arrived they were beating the stuffing
out of each other on the curb
St. Louis
Rams 24th.
Yeah.
The Rams failed.
Huh.
It will shock you who coached this team.
Jeff Fisher.
Not one of his better years.
Six and ten finished last in the division.
Aaron Donald was on that team, though.
I just feel older than God because what do you mean
Aaron Donald was in the league in 2014?
So it looks like from that point on, after the fight, they went three and four.
Oh, wow.
You guys made it worse.
Not inspired.
Yeah, I'm trying to, so this is, if this would have been what week for them, week nine?
This was November, November 2nd, ish, okay, so it's either after they beat the 49ers, which, which beating up your friend after your team wins is truly demented, or after they lost the next week to the Cardinals, which, I guess it would make.
Yeah, it was after the 3114 loss to the Cardinals.
I would like to remind you that
the Rams only stayed in St. Louis for one more year
after that.
Yeah, they had to get away from these guys.
Yeah.
This is just like
you don't believe in our bad team
is such a specific reason.
Like, what a reason to have to defend the honor
of the three and six St. Louis Rams?
Yeah, this was a pretty bad team.
They'd been blown out a few times
and all their wins were by one score,
beach at that point so who's the quarterback at this at this point on the ramps it's
bradford isn't it is it well i i don't know if he's hurt that's why i'm asking he's probably
the quarter he was heard for a game or two uh he was injured in preseason so the quarterback would
have been either austin davis or sean hill sean hill yeah so so you so somebody beat up another
person who dared to suggest that sean hill would not lead okay i just want to make sure we
Maryland, an undrafted Maryland quarterback.
That's fucking great.
Playing for Jeff Fisher on the Rams.
It's fucking wonderful.
Now I'm just sad.
I can make you feel better.
Please do.
Not confident, but go ahead.
This anecdote from
Oh boy.
Leo the giant slore.
You could just read his at.
Yeah, at the real Tony Leo.
God, I hope so.
The guy's next door to me in the barracks.
Yes.
Fought over a ham sandwich.
They fought through the bathroom and into my room, then out of the hallway.
They all boy did.
They totally, they fought like the Girl Scouts, an airplane.
Like, they are all over the bar.
Daredevil fight scene, the hallway freight scene.
One of them holding this sandwich.
I was thinking of blazing saddles specifically.
Yeah, but yes.
I'm picturing one of them has the same.
sandwich and like whoever is winning the fight at that moment possesses the sandwich but it's
being ripped from hand to hand and I don't know if it's funnier if it's tearing to pieces or if it's
not it's it's better it started when one guy was about to take a hit out or hey take a bite
out of his sandwich and his roommate slapped it out of his hands I just see like diving across the
room like so this fight started in the bathroom which
I really want to believe that the ham sandwich...
They said through the bathroom.
Through the bathroom?
Okay.
I'm assuming this is like bedrooms or barracks connected by a battle, like a communal bathroom.
So this might have been, this might have been from their room, through the bathroom, into the next room, and then into the hallway over a ham sandwich.
Now, this doesn't say these are Marines, but don't you worry, folks.
We have a Marine story coming up.
I mean, it doesn't say whether these were Marines.
I have my suspicions
I could
The guy's next door
The bathroom would be next door
So that would mean the fight
That would indicate the fight started in the bathroom
Because the bathroom would be next door
Oh I thought they meant that they
That they transitioned through the bathroom
On route to his room
This is like the weirdest game of Clue ever
I think that would be a very logical reading
But if you take it very literally
The guys were next door
And the next door would be the bathroom.
So one of these fellows
was eating a ham sandwich and a bathroom
and any right-thinking person would...
Right, wouldn't it be fucked up if this guy's name was Colonel Mustard?
Oh, how much shit would you take if your actual name was Colonel Mustard?
That would suck so bad.
None ever.
The thing is...
That's where like the Percy Harvin rule comes in.
You don't fight the dude named Colonel Mustard
if he's made it to Colonel in the Army with the last name of mustard.
I thought this is going to be a catch-22 thing.
where he has the rank of colonel but also his literal name is colonel mustard or he's sergeant colonel
you don't fight colonel mustard because you might kill you with a candlestick in a library that's
true here's the thing about slapping a ham sandwich out of somebody's hands you either have to have a
very good reason for doing it like it's poisoned or it's like a religious relic of a great value
and worth or you have to have no reason like there's no like medium range here where it's like
well i kind of had a reason it's either i was fucking with you or
this is the reincarnated Christ
and I didn't want you to eat him
the second one is by far my personal preference
yeah I mean the no reason at all won
well it's already established that Jesus is beef nut
so sure sure yeah it can happen sorry
um let's see here
from sparkles Robbie sparkles left foot sparkles I assume those are
emojis but that's how it appears in spreadsheet
just reading just reading the card
saw a near fist fight over whether a particular
Star Wars novel, I wish I remembered which one, probably one of the original Thrawn trilogy.
I'm going to guess, you're probably right, Robbie, was considered, quote, unquote, literature.
Yes.
All right.
And if it's Thrawn, I think everyone on the internet will say, well, yeah, of course.
So, I feel like the internet is with you at this one.
Like, it's one thing when we do this shit on Twitter, because everything we do on Twitter is a waste of time to begin with, and it's just, like, it's only trained us to have bad opinions and fight over them.
but to actually do this in real life is just like
hey buddy i was born to have bad opinions and fight over them
go balls i love the uh the status we give to the word literature
that just means books that teachers like
yeah is that like yeah does that just mean like uh things i have to read slowly
is that i mean it just means um books you buy and then set somewhere
How rich do you think you'd have to be
To get like a Thron book put on like the AP lit exam
Not that rich
I bet the amount of money would disappoint
I bet it would disappoint you yeah
No I think it's a goal
That's why I'm more interested in it
Let's do it's why we're going to take over school boards
Honestly
School boards could do a lot worse
This is this is one of the less destructive ideas we've had
That's what I'm saying
This is how we're going to sort of gum up
of the works.
Yeah.
With our shutdown full pack.
I'm just going to make
an energy drink empire
and then I'm going to write a series of
Star Wars novels where they'll drink the energy drinks.
Are they licensed?
No.
Then I'm going to get the Tennessee
School Board. I'm going to go to Tennessee
and I'm going to pay off everybody
right? Sure. Yep.
And I'm going to get a Tennessee School Board
to approve my Energy Drink
endorsement plan
right but these books are just huge ads it'll be like it'll be like it'll be like it'll be like
obi won pulled out his lightsaber and took a swig of his you know antsy boy
let's say drink throndo we're calling it throndo yeah he took an enormous swig of his
trondo energy drink and it was like ah with the power of throndo I will defeat the dark side
and I will read these slowly in this exact fashion at these school board meetings
Yeah, sure.
And I will pay all of them a pitiful sum of money, right?
These people could be bought off with like $70.
They'd be like, I think it's a good idea to put Throndo in there.
The Battle of Throndo, volume two in the Throndo trilogy, I think it needs to go into our schools.
Yep.
So Obi-Wan receives his mental boost.
Thank you.
I think, so like in the 90s, I think you literally could have done this and it wouldn't have been a difficult at all.
because like George Lucas
really likes money
now it's going to be more of a challenge
because of Disney yeah
yeah but uh I think
what about Babylon 5?
can we do that
well there's that
we'll just call it Babylon 6
I was going to say just straight up call it
Star Wars literature right up top
right yeah because then they feel bad
for telling you to knock it off
a parody it's a parody
I'm going to take this ramp of both novelizations
and pick up the threat of the military
and go over to Benji the kid at Benji SC30.
Oh, boys, the Marines are back.
What's Jonesy going to stick his dick in this time?
In Iraq with the Marine Corps.
Two guys got into a...
Now, give me a second when I finish this, okay?
Because I have a theory.
Two guys got into a fight over who got to read
the book, Lone Survivor, first.
now if you don't know what book I'm talking about
go ahead and look this up we will wait
but in my head
this is not the original book
this is the novelization of the Mark Wahlberg movie
that they made out of the book
literature
yeah that's literature
oh my god
so there's one copy
I have no further
it's called lone survivor
yeah so there's
There's a lone copy of Lone Survivor, and both of these gentlemen want to be the first to read it.
Yes.
And then I assume they would wish to destroy it so that the other cannot become the lone survivor.
Oh, shit, I hadn't thought about that.
I don't know if the Lone Survivor book is a how-to manual.
We can't know until you read it, and if you're the second to read it, then it might already be too late.
Hey, Jason, you've got another literature one in here, don't you?
Do I?
you do from Prescott Bishop
You've got the real good one
From Wild West WX on Twitter
Prescott Bishop
Classmates at my fundamentalist middle school
All right here we go
Scream fighting over whether or not
Harry Potter was real life satanic magic
All right
Let's go
I know when you went to middle school Prescott
It was before 9-11
Because after 9-11
These people stopped giving a shit about Harry Potter
And they trained all the energy
on people from a certain part of the world.
The 90s were nothing but Fundy's training all this energy on everything in sight
because the Cold War had ended and they were desperate for villains
and they found it in a 11-year-old British boy and whatever.
And then, yeah, and then just within a couple years,
they completely forgot about it.
This is funny.
I was researching something a few months ago,
Christianity Today, all right?
It's like the Time Magazine of Evangelicals.
I was looking through it for references to Harry.
Potter, so it's funny I was assigned this, and in articles up until 9-11, Harry Potter's
described as evil nefarious.
This is a gateway to Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the Gathering and all sorts of
evil things.
9-11 happens.
A year later, movie review of Harry Potter, delightful family fair.
So, there you have it.
When you said, when you said they were going to blame it all on one 11-year-old British boy,
I wanted to jump in and just go, Neville.
It was Neville.
Neville killed the snake.
Typical, no, I don't even mean Neville Longbottom.
I just mean something like.
Oh, random.
Just a Neville.
You know, just like Neville from like Bournemouth.
Like devil.
Oh, I accept that completely.
Yeah.
I am not like deeply steeped in the Harry Potter lore.
But the magic doesn't.
Oh, you've got a daughter.
Just wait.
I know.
But the magic doesn't seem interesting enough to be satanic.
Like, if that's all Satan can do, like, I'm not.
real worried about that battle between good and evil.
If he's just like, look, I can
summon things, but only simple ones.
The idea is it's a gateway.
That's it. These are the same people who,
these are the same people who are terrified of yoga.
Okay. How do they feel about close-up magic?
There are Christian-Assad.
Yeah. You have to be Christian.
The, uh, the arrested development joke
about illusionists. I'm, you know, I guarantee
you, they got that.
Sure. Got that from youth group ministry.
Sure. Yeah. Really?
Yeah, if you Google Christian
Illusiness right now, page after page after page
of guys saying it's not magic
So you can hire us
Right, excellent
There is like a satanic Hogwarts
But it probably rocks too hard
To be discussed
They'd be like, yeah, these kids have so much fun
Oh my God
They have the sickest outfits
They have the best parties
Dismal academic performance
But nobody cares
It's fine
Their hair is so clear
Their hair is bouncy
It is awesome
It's in Orlando
it always comes back to hot weather goths with you doesn't it
it does it be hot weather guys be like yeah where'd satanic hoggworts be it'd be in
someplace dismal and cold right or it being like it okay
you're like no Orlando committed than hot weather goths we've established this
it'd be in Orlando so it's UCF it's UCF is evil Hogwarts
UCF is evil escape Hogwarts
Stephen Godfrey's antenna are twitching right now and he does not know why
He'll be extremely pleased when he finds out.
I just keep making them sound awesome, though.
Like, satanic, look at the Hail Satan, hoggards in Orlando.
It's like a big skate park.
Do they have mighty feasts with floating candles?
And you're like, no, it's like a Chapolri kind of arrangement.
They steal things from the mall food court.
Fuck you.
It's awesome.
Look at this.
It's a cookie cake made for somebody named Brenda.
We just ruined her fucking birthday.
You got the, uh, so when you walk into, uh,
Satanic Hogwarts, a UCF, you have to learn which frat you're going to, which is determined by the sorting visor.
They learn Ivana Kadabra on like day one. That's all they, they're like, what do you do?
Fatal spells day one. Can you guys like, can you do things like convert toadstools to tomatoes?
No, but we got that killing shit down. We learn that like sick day one. We learn. Don't say it, bro.
Don't say it, bro. I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. I just watched the Tyson
Fury fight. I'm so amped.
Jesus
God.
I put a piece of my soul in my PlayStation.
It's fucking awesome.
My horrocks is a fake cartridge.
I have one more. It's from
At Robbiddy.
I got sucker punched at a bar by an astonishingly
drunk man for taking his hat.
He accused me of stealing his hat.
I explained we had the same
baseball hat and that his was on his head
and he decked me
mind your fucking business
I hope that this man realized that
he was wrong and punched the guy
anyway I hope you I think that's what happened
you made me feel bad
why are you embarrassing me
you're not the boss of me punch
smart Alica
I see you I in my hat.
Why should you have two hats?
That's selfish.
I had this hat first.
Then you walk in with it.
You stole my hat and put another hat on my head.
You're going to steal that one too?
You cloned my hat.
It's the Indians fault, too, for being on our land when we got there.
Oh my God.
I just like, I love the commitment here.
I just like that he's like,
Well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Stick to your guns.
I already decided to just...
Finish the drill.
I already decided I'm punching this guy.
Finish the drill.
So I have to go from theft to mockery.
I just have to be like, well, now you're making fun of me.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's no retract button.
Yeah, it's like a video game animation.
You can't stop.
It's like, sorry, I'm already punching you.
Where are you?
I can't get out of this punch.
Strong punch
Maybe
Maybe the theory on the part of the puncher is that these hats were swapped
And you're trying
Uh-uh, uh-uh, that's still my hat
Not catching me and none of your devilish traps
You know old Frank, once he starts winded up
Like he has the cartoon wind up to the punch, right?
Like he's windmilling and he's like, sorry
All right, I got eight windmills in.
Nine and ten are coming.
Be ashamed to waste this wind up.
