Starting point is 00:00:00 What are you doing? I don't know if you guys want me on the page. I never know if I'm supposed to go. He gave you an earbud. Yeah. Well, I just like to listen to it. That's not true, you fucking liar. A lot of times you just sit over there.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Pretending you're editing. You don't listen. Yeah. That's how much you like the podcast. You're like, I'll just sit over here. Yeah. He's on the couch half the time. He's in a different thing.
Starting point is 00:00:30 fucking rule. That's why we get a clip of us talking about a goldfish bowl. It's missing all the jokes. Goldfish bowl's good stuff, though. Yeah, it is good stuff. We got a lot of good stuff to talk about. Number one, USA hockey boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I know we're way behind the ball here by the time this gets released in a couple days, but good Lord. Yeah, USA. USA. It was... USA. USA. I was telling Josh, I got shifted from the couch at 7.15 in the morning because I had a late set at the mothership.
Starting point is 00:01:10 And I usually don't open my phone because I get all anxious of like seeing emails and things I have to respond to. Yeah, yeah. I opened Instagram, forgot that the game was starting that early. Boston with the boys had like a clip going, damn, that was fast. And I was like, well, I got to get my socks on, watch this game my underwear and get fucked up for the next. three and a half hours. Speard the fuck out of my dog. It was one.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I was on it. Dude, we needed it so bad. It was so great, dude. Everybody, everybody needed it. Everybody, Josh didn't even watch it. He didn't give a fuck. No, he didn't watch it. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Yeah. I didn't know what was happening. You're from like the land of hockey, too. I know. You needed it more than anybody after Friday night. Yeah, true, true. You need it. Unreal.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Pick me up. Dude, that boldie goal was so sick. And I feel like it's, it's not getting enough because obviously Jack Hughes. Yeah. Legends and Hellebuck playing so crazy. But yeah. Fucking good Lord. That goal, that was like a little league like a little league hockey goal.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Just like flipping it. You flipping it past two of the best defensemen in the world. Yeah. And then just slipping at home. Do you ever, you ever see that, you know, the orpheus?
Starting point is 00:02:36 The Orpheus, Orpheus? What's it? Orpheus pitch. Orpheus? Yeah. And I believe that's what it's called. Orpheus.
Starting point is 00:02:43 It's the slow pitch in baseball when they run on a fucking, the bullpen. And it's like the 15th inning. And there's no pitchers left. Oh, yeah. And they just call like this. These guys can't fucking hate it.
Starting point is 00:02:54 It's very rare. I feel like when you slow the game down a bit, puts him to sleep. You saw him a knuckle ball and they're just like, what? It just goes over the shoulder. It's got to be nuts to go from 100 miles an hour to just like a batting practice pitch. Yeah, exactly. It's like, I can't hit this.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah. My feet are out of position. My eyes were up in the fucking rafters. It is, it is truly like, if you could somehow occupy that headspace of just like being a pit, I mean, I guess it is the idea of the knuckle ball where it's just like, I don't even know where I'm throwing it. Yeah, right. So you can't possibly know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Nobody knows where this is going. Like, every one of those, they showed. Every one of those outfielders on the mound is just like, just get over the plate. They showed a, like, it wasn't even a montage. It was they, Paul Keynes,
Starting point is 00:03:46 the pitcher. Yeah. Legend, legendary pitcher. What's he in Pittsburgh? Pirates. Legendary. He's pitched for like four years. It's like absolute legend in the game.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Dude. I mean, he is. Brother, he's got a hall of fame numbers already. He's only. He's a baby. This dude is unfucking believable. I know.
Starting point is 00:04:03 He's on the equivalent of like a rookie contract which is he's still with the pisser of pirates. That's... Yeah. This dude's got streets named after him already.
Starting point is 00:04:12 He hasn't done that much, but he's, he's unbelievable talent. No, he's incredible. They show his release point in this, in four consecutive pitches of his body
Starting point is 00:04:22 from the back. And it's the same exact motion, the same exact arm speed. Yeah. And then you see the ball from here and it splits in four different directions from like your batterer's perspective so it'll be like a backdoor slider
Starting point is 00:04:35 a curve a fastball outside and then a dip and it's like as a batter if you're throwing the same speed with the ball release at the same exact spot if you see a couple you're like oh it's going to come in it's going to drift here it's like no no no you have no it's like a it's like a knuckle ball throwing fucking 95 to 100 miles an hour
Starting point is 00:04:57 every balls is knuckling. It's the hardest thing to do with sports. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. Like, with that talent. Just,
Starting point is 00:05:05 just hit a baseball. All right, let's get in the fucking, the carcels. I wouldn't be able, I wouldn't be able to do it. It would drive me absolutely nuts,
Starting point is 00:05:11 dude. I'd be one of those guys, guys that, like, goes on a, like, 60, 70 at bat slump. Like, if I was ever in the pros,
Starting point is 00:05:21 yeah. Like, I would, I would be like, I would be good. Get out. But they'd be like, we've never really seen anything like this.
Starting point is 00:05:29 150 consecutive at-bats hasn't even made contact. But when he's on, he's on, he's on. Yeah, there's drops of brilliance in there. Look, Connor, usually hits 30 home runs a year every five years. Dude, sucks dick for the next year. I mean, it is unbelievably difficult.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But yeah. So sorry for starting to Patreon with some sports. I'm also not sorry. It was fucking wonderful. It's incredible the moment for USA hockey. I'm not even a hockey guy. Hockey is number four on my list of all my sports. And that's because the flyers have let us down.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Some things are bigger than sports, you know? Dude, 100%. When they got those babies out of the fucking crowd, waterworks. Waterworks. Oh, my God. My eyes took a piss, dude. It was darn white. And you could see, I know someone said this,
Starting point is 00:06:24 but you could see like the comfortability of these girls jumping in the, these hockey guys arms like they they already have a relationship. You don't take a two-year-old out of her mom's arms and then sly around the eyes. It's scary as fuck unless you're with somebody you trust and love.
Starting point is 00:06:40 True. A true uncle. That's a true uncle. True. It's so funny that even watching after watching that whole game when a mom handed her kid off to Kachuk, I was like,
Starting point is 00:06:51 he must be really good to skating. Just not thinking twice. Yeah, just be like, damn, he must be a really good skater. Oh, my God, dude. Imagine dropping the kid after everybody's just waiting for guys. Guys won two cups in a gold medal. He's just tired from having so much fun. Splat.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Just crack in the back skull of a two-year-old blood splattering all over the ice. They're just trying to get one fucking gold medal pick. No, I wouldn't. Certainly would want that for the. Goddrault family. Well, it's kind of what happened at the end when they started celebrating with the Trump's call. The whole, like... This is, this is funny.
Starting point is 00:07:36 This is the first time we've been talking about sports and I've been able to watch someone be bored about it. Yeah. This one? I didn't, I just didn't want... I mean, I've been watching the highlights. I just didn't watch it live. Dude. It was like, I didn't know what was going on.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I missed it. We haven't once since 1980. I know. And 1980 has like 20 documentaries, a movie, two movies. it's like the Miracle on Ice is like we weren't we didn't used to do this shit where we put our pros in there it was all college kids Miracle on Ice is the greatest
Starting point is 00:08:07 story of all time though that's like this is great this is great I don't know make way make way for a new one Jack I Jack Hughes getting his teeth just destroyed he's got the vampire teeth now I didn't know he was coming back munching on the what's her face's box he's tearing that fucking thing up yeah
Starting point is 00:08:24 McCray she better head yeah oh the singer yeah Yeah. Nice. We met her. She's a Jack. She's a Jack.
Starting point is 00:08:32 She's a fan. Yeah, but that's like no world sex for at least a couple months. You got to set up to dentistry first. That thing's going to slice and dice. You know what I mean? You're making. You're making it. Get out of jail free card, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:08:47 True. I don't have to go down there. It's like, babe, it's all raw in there. Oh, my God. This is a great idea. Why don't we smash each other's teeth every couple months? Just say we played hockey because it's why we played hockey because it's why have fake dentures.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Meanwhile, it's just not to eat pussy. Damn, dude. Could you imagine losing that game after losing all your teeth? No. Way different vibe. Yeah, it's like going home with face pain on your, you know, having to give the interviews with just fucking, yeah. Just an old cemetery in the middle of your mouth.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. It's like that loser in fucking Oakland that used to dress up for the Raiders games. And he'd wear like that warlord suit. Painting. face. They won like two games all fucking season. This guy would be traveling home. Like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Ruining his tub. I always, I always wondered. It's like, how can he afford those tickets? You know what I mean? What is that guy? Is the CEO or something?
Starting point is 00:09:43 No, I think guys like that, I think they did this with that, that fucking waterhead in Philly. That, the same thing with the Jets guy. They like sponsor the guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:51 They eventually go, we'll take care of your tickets because you're half of our promotions every goddamn game. to do the fireman with the Jets hard hat. That's like the old school. That's like original content creator vibes. You're just like, look.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Yeah. We're buying front row seats for like eight games. We've got to really put something together. Yeah. Hopefully they just buy us out the rest of the way. Like that Jets guy. Yeah. But the other side of the corner is like the Jets have sucked so bad that the, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:22 front couple rows season tickets. It sucks so bad that he quit. I think that might be the first time ever that a guy's, he was like, I can't watch this. Yeah. I don't care if it's free. Yeah. I don't care if I'm responsible for the whole morale of the city.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Yeah. I can't deal with this anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I lost my wife and kids trying to care about this. Getting in a costume every Sunday to get blown out by the Browns. This is hell on Earth, dude. It'd be like if Bevo, if.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Bivo just laid down. Refused to get on the field. Speaking of hell on earth, dude, the cartel shit is fun as fuck. It's crazy. Yeah. It's fun. They just blew up to fucking Costco. They're going, yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:11:12 They're, you know, mass. I just saw, I just saw something about it. A picture of just a bunch of cars that were melted. Oh, yeah. They're burning the whole city. Yeah. Well, it's like that was a nice vacation destination.
Starting point is 00:11:26 It is for guys that are pink, Like us. Yeah. We were just looking, dude, we were just looking at the Travelosti's website. And it was like, book your flight to Cancun today. Yeah. You're going to read the room. You're going to enjoy Iraq.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Deep discounts. Deep discounts. Provo code Fallujah. Deep discounts. Yeah. It's never been a better time to go to Vallerta. It's like Cancun levels of like, you know, white pilgrimage. Well, if you go down there, you got to go cartel versus cartel.
Starting point is 00:11:55 That's why you hit the sandals. Oh, I like this. They don't fuck with the sandals, dude. They shouldn't fuck with any of it. The tourism money, they bring into these places. Whoever the owner of the sanders is. It's probably on the Epstein list. I mean, that guy is scary, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:11 It's like Cuba. My eyes are sensitive right now. It's like Cuba. You don't fuck around with the whites, dude, because the whites bring in all the tourism money. So the government and the cartels, they know, do not touch these resorts. This is like, this is our, this is,
Starting point is 00:12:27 this is our stand. Like you can't rob and pillage and kill people that are from American descent. But you grew up at Costco and Porta Vireta, dude. You're breaking the supply lines, dude. That's a... Purposeful, malicious move.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, yeah. You're not hitting the resort, but you're like, they're going to starve. Yeah. Yeah, how are my three kids going to get fucking Danish and fucking, you know? Yeah. French toastics.
Starting point is 00:12:53 They're laying siege to the fat Americans, dude. Yeah. You can't drink the water. They're waiting them out. They're waiting them out for the winter. They are. Dude, you blow up all the fucking spring barter. Everybody's got Mata Zuma's revenge.
Starting point is 00:13:05 They're shitting all over the beaches. Totally. It's just fucking man. The unit price on chips of Hoy is going through the roof. Oh, my God. Yeah, the economy. You know, there's a couple locals buying out the whole lot and then raising the price. Like 10 point.
Starting point is 00:13:19 No Kirkland products will ever see. Yeah. It was like that swarms, that swarmy Jew that started selling his own AIDS medication. Yeah. Sorry, we just turned in the fucking war mode. These classes change me, dude. What's his name? Martin, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:13:37 Martin's something. Yeah. Oh, Screlly. Yeah. Do you think there's what the cartels doing? Was that their only hit or are they doing, did they, did anyone take credit for it? The government took out the, their head guy, El Mancho or Mancho or whatever fuck his name is. El Mancho. And then.
Starting point is 00:13:55 El Mancho. Cartel was like, Rancho cucamongo. Yeah. I ordered that I talked about last night, dude. It's fucking good. It's got a kick in the back. El Manjo is so funny, dude. El Manchao.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I'm not that far off. It's like El Manchigo. El Macheo. Look at Ma'am. La Chupacabra. Well, just like the government says, hey, you don't touch Puerto Vireira. You don't touch these resorts for the whites. It's the same way the government goes or the cartels says to the government, you don't kill the top people or else we're going to
Starting point is 00:14:29 make this life is going to be a living hell for everybody. They control the cities. Yeah. So they just burnt buses to stop roads so no one can get out. And then they just burn everything else. They're going to, well, fuck you. It is true. It's like, it's a Saddam Hussein situation with these cartels.
Starting point is 00:14:50 It's like, I know I suck, but dude, you kill me. Everyone's going to be fighting for power. It's Sicario. Yeah. Yeah. car is. It's like, do you know how much time I had to spend killing people and dismembering people and hanging them from highways that you drive under it?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah, yeah. To get to get some peace. Right. Some peace. To get a little peace and quiet. Yeah. You know, me sticks I broke off women's heads to get to this level. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I mean, locking keys. The things I've seen. Yeah. You want to start over? But it's fun from the, you know, it's a sport. from a distance Yeah it's fun to watch this stuff You know

Dude, is that what's going on? Are you so amp that you're trying to double it down right now?

Did you hit some cocktails on the flight back? No, he didn't drink the whole time in a weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana. Yeah. Can you imagine? Rawled dog in Indianapolis, let alone the flights?
Starting point is 00:16:52 I mean, it's pretty wild. Dude. It's pretty wild, but I've been there. I've been there. It's unbelievable. It was. These are the locations where you go, you can have a drink. I know you haven't had a drink in 10 years.

Well in that downtown, in downtown there's not a lot of options. Yeah. Especially like you come out of that club. It's like there's a
Starting point is 00:18:08 hooters and there's Dick's last resort. Yeah. Yeah. Heaven's to bet. Well, it's the same energy as the helium comedy club there. They're all looking at you like you're a piece of shit anyway. Yeah, dude. I mean, there's no release. Yeah, they kept. Yeah. Every place that people were like, you've got to try this, this restaurant we went to.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And every time I was like, this is dog. I mean, it was dog shit. Yeah, this is coming from me, dude. I couldn't find any, like, I couldn't even find like a, like a decent burger. Yeah. And it's like, it's like the one thing you'd think Indianapolis would do right. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Keep it simple. Just like a fat cheeseburger. Yeah. Oh my God. This just reminded me, dude. Do you remember when you found that fucking, was it a steak place or a barbecue place? we were driving from Indianapolis to St. Louis. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Tommy. Dude, the farmhouse. The farmhouse. Tommy. First of all, Tommy, when you're on the road with Tommy, refuses to stop at just a rest stop. No, no, no. I have to, I look through ratings.
Starting point is 00:19:14 I look through on our route. I'll say, I'll ask Chris where we, which I do. How long we take in 95? How long we taking 35? How long we doing this? I look for the major cross sections. So I'll scroll up a few miles.
Starting point is 00:19:26 See where the main. the main roads crisscross, applesauce. And I look up, that's where usually it's peppered with gas stations, fast food restaurants, but along the path, just beyond that, you can find on the offshoots, a nice restaurant where all the locals go to. Oh, that's not bad. It actually fucking rules. Normally it would piss me off, but when you got a guy who's willing to do the work,
Starting point is 00:19:49 yeah. Let him cook, dude. Because Tommy finds some gems. Dude, it was unreal. was like a beautiful, it was like an old restored barn on like a river bend. Yeah, it was behind a restoration place for wood.
Starting point is 00:20:04 It was like they sold. Oh yeah, the booze block. Yeah. The booze block place. It was booze blocks like one like mainstay. And then there was like a little antique restoration. And behind that was an old barn that was restored. And it was a high end stake place.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Oh, fuck yeah, dude. The bartender recognized this. But somehow also like a totally chill like lunch spot. Yeah. It was like one of those Midwest. places. Yeah, that's superman. What they're doing.
Starting point is 00:20:28 That steak was delicious. What they need to be on any given day. Yeah. It's like half wedding venue, half steak place, half sports bar. You're like, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:25:52 Sorry, it's a Ruby Tuesdays. And we get in there. Decent burger. Not bad. We get into this Ruby Tuesday. Decent burger. Less I'm in the rubies. And a guy.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And a guy. I'm going to cut you off right now. Decent burgers. It's got a good burger. And dude, we go in there. It's empty. It's like 2 p.m. on like a fucking 2 p.m. on like a Sunday. Empty.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Well, it's Alabama. They're church. Yeah. Well, it's like, yes. It's a ghost town, except for this one lady who has a bowl of fruit in front of her, and they bring her out a single piece of cake for her birthday. And I was like, that's the most devastating shit. Because, like, that was her thing that she was doing.
Starting point is 00:26:34 You know what I mean? She was like, I'm going to do it. Tomorrow I'm going to do it. That's so sad. I'm going to go to the Ruby Tuesdays. I'm going to celebrate my birthday. It was unbelievable by yourself. By yourself.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Single piece of cake gets brought out with a candle. I used to feel bad for these people But damn it. When it's a woman and it's her birthday It's different than when you just see a dude Crushing a fucking meal Or watching a movie by himself You go all that poor guy
Starting point is 00:27:01 He's fucking living it Yeah That guy is having a great time True And I like to invent stories I like to invent stories that they like Fucking They know what they're doing
Starting point is 00:27:11 You know what I mean Like after this They're going to go meet up with all their friends Yeah But they're just going no No no no no no no No, no, I just like seeing the look on the Ruby Tuesday staff. Or it's before you.
Starting point is 00:27:24 It's before your sister-in-law get to the fight with you. Mary's going to ruin my fucking birthday. I'd rather get my piece of cake in now before this loud mouth bitch. It is. It's like, what is that thing? It's like, I don't know, just shame soaking or whatever. I remember hearing stories that like, uh, like, uh, like, Stephen Colbert are those guys that were trying to like, no, but they would go, they would like do a thing where they would, they would walk into the middle, like the middle of a, like crosswalk and act like they didn't know what they were doing and like couldn't figure out how to get out of it and just sit in everyone just like slamming on their horns and being pissed. And they would just be confused. And someone would have to like help them. And they would just sit in whatever that was. That's, that's getting yourself a piece of birthday cake.
Starting point is 00:28:16 that's like let's just let's just this is like I want to know what this feels like yeah I want to have access to these feelings yeah to have a whole bar to have Josh josh failing failing at the time driving through the panhandle going like Jesus dude that's not good Offering to pay her dad. It's so funny, we've all been that guy. The ghost of birthday's future. You're like, that's going to be me soon.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Just in the middle of an absolute suicide mission of a life choice. It's so funny, though. Making no money just pulling over and just being like, these people are fucked. They don't even know it. There's so many elements of these like, you know, the simplistic meals, right? The, just the plug-and-play fast food restaurants. When I go home to my father and my mother,
Starting point is 00:29:24 mom goes to bed early, my dad will go, hey, you want to have the applebees? And I'm like, yeah, it fucking rules. When you're just like, you know, he knows the bartenders. This is his local bar as opposed to what we grew up with. Yes. It was like actual genuine bar instead of this plastic fast food type situation. but there's like a charm to it
Starting point is 00:29:47 when you're in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing else it's like there's a comfort there I get why she wanted a slice of cake by yourself at the fucking totally you know Ruby Tuesdays if my dad
Starting point is 00:29:57 if my dad went just after my mom went to bed just went fuck it dude you want to go Ruby Tuesdays and just chop it up a little bit it'd be like it'd be like the equivalent of him being like I got tickets to the Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:30:10 a few years dude 100% I want to be like, yes, 100% yes. Dude, there's this place. I don't mean to docks my parents, who gives you shit? Get them off my hands, right? But there's this like sports bar called Giordanos. And it was like kind of like Dave and Busters for like a petri dish version of David Busters.
Starting point is 00:30:37 It's got the bubble hockey. It's got a couple of shooting games and stuff like that. It's got the sports bar. And that was like the most. live thing within a couple miles of my parents' house and he'd always be like wanna go to Giordanis? And we'd watch whatever game on some tiny dog shit television because they didn't
Starting point is 00:30:53 flat screens. It's got the big projection back and they're holding up with like iron harnesses. You know what I mean? It smells like shit. You look back on those times going that was that's what you want with your dad. Totally. Just crack some fucking it's the adult version of him being
Starting point is 00:31:09 like, you want to go play catch? Yeah. He's like you want to go to a adult catch. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. I'll drink a beer. Throw it back at me. It is crazy. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Dude, the sports bars back then, too, and you're just like, the TV took up fucking three-quarters of the bar. Yeah. Well, now it's the opposite. Now they can't figure it to fuck out
Starting point is 00:31:35 unless you go to like a Buffalo raw wings. Yeah. I'm literally squinted to see a fucking replay. Yeah. Can you get it up here? Oh, dude. And they're like, oh, the Eagles game. We used to do that fucking, what do you call it?
Starting point is 00:31:51 Blackbirds. They wouldn't update their televisions. Love the place. But they were like, we're playing the Patriots. Yeah. Eagles in the corner one. And you got to go like to stand and stare at this fucking, you know, it's like a bug light. You can't.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Go birds. Go birds. Go birds. Go birds. running into it. You're all licking the screen. Touching it when I shouldn't. Just getting shocked.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Like a bug light is so funny. Holy fuck, that's so good. Oh, my God. Bumping your head on the screen is so funny. Drunken bunglight, dude. I got a pee real quick. Is that all right? So funny, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah, dude, you want to know what happened to me? I, uh, two people, my, I talk about it on stage, but my aunt got me for Christmas a gift card to Buffalo Wildlings for $100, which is so disrespectful. Because it's such, it's an amount where she's like, this is going to be good for him. You know what I mean? Like it's going to, oh, yeah, yeah, it's a big come up. Yeah, like she thought she was hooking it up. God damn. That's a tough.
Starting point is 00:33:12 that's a tough number. It's such a brutal. It's like a... Because it is huge if you go by yourself. Oh, it's so sick. Yeah. And actually you bring a couple friends. It can turn it to just like a starter kit for real quick.
Starting point is 00:33:30 For sure. Those are the kind of nights that get away from you where it's just like... You think that $100 is going to, you're like, oh my God. We spent $700. dollars at fucking buffalo wild wings. I started getting it's so funny because it's like, this is your gift card so you have to finish the bill and you're like

And I, like, went. So I was like, whatever. I'll just kill some time at a ball. went up running into like a bunch of kids that actually fucking ruled. But they recognized me.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And then they were like shot. And I was just like, they ordered shots. And they didn't even ask me if I wanted one. They ordered them. And it's just like. The pressure there is too tough. I can't be a bitch and not take this. If they hand it to you going, I got you.

Starting point is 00:36:03 It was a nice tone set. I think the last time I really got fucked up was like when I was like beyond like the level that I should be at was when we went to watch the, when it was like the Bears Packers game, the before the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Yeah. Like and at my house? No, no, no, no. When we went out to the bar. Oh, Grades? Yeah. And that was like, dude, that was the worst. I was hungover.

I just kept getting, because it was that thing where you don't want to not say yeah because shots it the peer pressure with shots is unbelievable because you don't want to be the guy that's like I can't I don't want to do but you're in your head you're like I can't do another one and then they bring you another one and you go well I don't want to be the only guy not doing

Mar and I had to take a piss while we were shopping. And she knows what she's doing. She's very good with this where she goes, I get dad a couple pops.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I get a little spendy. I make some bad decisions. We jump into a shopper. I go, get it, baby. You look great in it. You know what I mean? I'll spend $1,000 in clothes because she knows,
Starting point is 00:38:22 feed the beast. Yeah. We went in this one place. The next day's like fucking phantom thread, dude. Oh, dude. Are you a spy? Are you an agent?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Sent here to destroy me? My night? Maybe my whole life. There's one young fucking bartender. I said Mezcal. And without me knowing, I was like, yeah, that's kind of like well or like illegal or, you know, there's a few areas where I, you're talking 10 to $15 range for a shot or a double. And then you go 20, 25 if you go to Las Perlis or something crazy like that.
Starting point is 00:38:58 This guy's shots were $80 a piece. It's crazy. So I got what I walked in there. I said, I'm going to have one double. We're going to sip one double. It's my only drink that afternoon. I'm going to have a double. Glass of water.
Starting point is 00:39:11 and I'll go buy you your fucking pants. Such a short window of time. It was my only drink that afternoon. Yeah. It was a weekend shopping extravaganty. We could have went to Longhorn steakhouse. Applebee's. We could have went anywhere.

Starting point is 00:45:40 but I'm going to charge you for well he makes an extra 10 20% And then I go, this guy's great. And you start this rapport. First one's on me. You just had four drinks? Just to let you know, first one's on me.
Starting point is 00:45:53 That kind of shit, Austin doesn't have many of those. And when you find them, you go, dude, you're old school. You're an old soul. You understand. This is like how I was raised, VFW type shit, where you go, these guys, their whole business is taking money out of your pocket to pay their bills while the big man gets fucked a little bit because he's already fucking everybody else. It's a bouncing act.
Starting point is 00:46:14 It's a tight wire. They can do that. It's not going to be a hot fucking girl. They can do that savvy shit too where they're like, yeah. Especially if you accidentally order something that's too expensive. And they're like, oh, you like that one. See, for my money, I like that, but you know, no go. Charisma.
Starting point is 00:46:32 I get you one that tastes like that. And then you're off to spend $80 a shot. Yeah. I get nuts about this. Your whole job is personality and charisma. That's how you get paid. And you get these hot girls or dumbfired. fucking dudes that have no idea of how this business works.
Starting point is 00:46:49 New York and L.A. They're hot fucking idiots that just have a job. They don't know the business. You go to shitty towns. They're old, grizzled, ugly men that go, I know how we're both going to benefit from this. You see a bartender look over his shoulder? Like he's about to say the N-word before he delivers you a fucking shot that's more expensive
Starting point is 00:47:09 than you're paying. That's a professional. I gotta be honest, dude you're not gonna like what I'm about to say but You don't want to stuff I own anymore I quit
Starting point is 00:47:24 I can't take it I think if I'm a Texas kid And I see A Wop like you walk in And You got your Your hot girl on your arm And you got a bunch of bags with you
Starting point is 00:47:45 and you go, give me something good. I hear you. I hear this. I don't disagree with this. I'm going to give you the biggest thing I can. Here's where I'm going to... I'm a little bit terrified of... Here's where I'm going to dull your plate a little bit.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Pour you a shot and you going like, you call this fucking tequila, you fucking piece? That wasn't... That was actually not bad. That was actually pretty spot on. It was better than shame. It's not bad. But fuck you. Also, I didn't walk in a lot of bags.
Starting point is 00:48:19 And also, like, I come in like normal. You know what I mean? Yeah, I, that's what I'm talking about. You're normal. I'm not wearing these glasses. You're normal. I'm going to say what I'm talking about. Oh, look who's up.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Look who's up. That one goes, I come in normal. I got three Gucci belts. That mustache and that hair. Yeah, you might as well. You striped like a bangle tiger. Dude, I'm walking into that fucking. I get it.
Starting point is 00:48:44 It's like a fucking. A predator walking in. It's like a hooker looking at it. Let's all have a nice time. Like when a hooker ID is like a Wall Street guy at his steakhouse at lunch. Yeah, he's going to fleece him. He's going to take advantage of that fat.
Starting point is 00:49:00 But no, I'm saying, I just walk in like a regular dude. Like, hey, pal, how are you doing? You know? Already terrifying. Guys hit me with a pal right over the bar. He sends a pal. Hey, man. We're all different.
Starting point is 00:49:15 All right. We're all fucking different. Pal is brutal. I remember, I imagine every bartender's seeing you for the first time. You're walking in, giving a hey pal. And I'm just like, take it. Would you just take it easy? Take it.
Starting point is 00:49:28 You're like, what? Just calm down, guy. You come storming in here. You're like, what? What minute are we at where I'm getting roasted? 42? This fucking party sucks, dude. I was sticking up for your don't.
Starting point is 00:49:42 I'm just trying to defend that kid. a little kid working the bar. He was a little kid. He shouldn't have working the bar. It's bad business. Can't have children behind the bar. They don't understand. They don't fucking get it, dude.
Starting point is 00:49:55 He must have walked away. After he gave you a really sick shot and you got pissed at him, he probably was just like, he can't do right by these people. Yeah. That's a DEI hire, dude. It's a DEI hire. You can't have someone that's under 30 years old bartending in a popular place. They don't know shit.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I agree. They're hung over. They don't give a fuck about their. boss. They don't care about their work ethic. They're fucking the stewardess hostess, which is the stewardess of the bar. Somebody's getting fucked.

Starting point is 00:53:14 Oh, my God. No, you were marking the wrong window. This guy should know. I couldn't shoot into the window. You should know something. Dude. He was marking a window, so I popped up to shoot the guy that was like holding. He was like, this guy was, he basically had us funneled into this alleyway.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And we were all underneath cover, so we couldn't get seen. And then Chris did like saving private Ryan fashion, like stuck his head out. So the guy targeted him and he marked the window. And then I popped. up with the rocket to go to shoot. But where he marked wasn't a place I could shoot into. It was just an empty wall. Dude.
Starting point is 00:53:51 There was a bit, it was a house that had only one corner of it blown out that the guy was shooting from. And then instead of, instead of trying to find a better angle, Josh just ran to the house. And the guy shot him right in the fucking head. Dude, it was our only hope.
Starting point is 00:54:08 I went in a Medal of Honor moment, dude. That was crazy. And we need that guy was chewing us up. That guy was in a good spot. There's anything more boring than us telling video game stories is one that doesn't have any action in it. I don't think so. Let me tell you that time.
Starting point is 00:54:27 I ran around the corner and shot a non-windowed building. Fans are really love that. Imagine it's saving Private Ryan when they get the sniper and they're like he's, you know, it's like shoot, kill that guy. And he goes, he just shoots a random place. And he's like, well, I didn't know what? Where was he? And then the whole movie just to never get started because they all get blown up
Starting point is 00:54:53 Omaha Beach. Because he doesn't shoot the sandbags in the right place. I'm going to continue on this fucking old grizzled band shit. I thought you were my mother. Because I don't. I can't respect some young kid beat my ass online and then talking shit. get the fuck out of here. No one was talking shit.
Starting point is 00:55:15 No, we did it one time. We did it one time. We played with strangers. And these young kids started mouthing off. Well, you weren't even playing. You just took my headset and you just started making fun

Starting point is 00:56:11 It was 8.m. It was 8.m. That's so stupid. That's bad. That's a bad decision to put in it. Because they had to have their closing ceremonies.
