It's crazy. It looks like Chris is dying, and we have to do one more episode. Yeah, I know. This is how Norm shot his last special. Yeah, dude. These are known us last words. You should look like I'm in like a halfway house. Yeah, just trying to get back on my feet, dude.

Chris is on life support. Like, Chris, the sponsors need one more rocket money ad, brother. We need to just read one more. Tommy's got to get his tires rotated. Yeah. He hits the Raymore and Flanagan his legs go above his face. To get blood flow to his fucking head. Dude, yeah, sweatpants and a hockey jersey is totally fucking deathbed material.

Oh, my God. Yeah, dying by your own fart. That's how you want to die. That's a gas chamber, dude. You wear a fucking hockey jersey and sweatpants. You're dying by the gas of your asshole. You're in the Philly uniform right now. That is a filial uni.

Yeah, baby. Stuff you can just put on like a little clip and, washing like an industrial washing machine. Stuff you can piss and shit yourself in. Hockey, jersey and sweatpants. Versatility. Yeah, yeah. This is the depression state after the Eagles lose.

You throw on any other team. You throw on the flyers. It doesn't matter what it is. You're like, I'm over those fuckers. Okay, so don't bring it up. Got it Chris. You can't. You can't.

Yeah, yeah. You can't. I filmed that Soder episode right before we were playing the Niners. And Dan warned me before we started, he was like, we can't talk football. This won't come out for a couple weeks. And I was like, we have to talk football. Yeah. I mean, regardless of whether you keep it or not, we're talking football.

Well, you guys can always talk to me. I'm a Falcons fan, so we can kind of handle whatever bullshit you guys are going through. We're not getting out of the mud for years, man. It's going to be a problem. It's like stopping at a gas station. No one gives your shit. Yeah, it's a gas station to like a remote town. You can tell that guy anything, man.

Who gives you shit? I got three bodies in the trunk. He's like, that'll be $7. Yeah, that's great. I don't care, man. There's no passion there. Yeah, yeah. It is such a,

such a next level failure to draft a quarterback who's not ready, like fifth overall. Just ruin, ruin the guy you got coming in. Yeah. It's toss him. We're on the cusp of fire.

We're on the cusp of doing that. What do you mean? They'll probably draft. They'll probably draft a quarterback like, uncomfortably high. Who? Just the Eagles. Get the fuck out of here.

Put the heat on Jayland. Just get ready. Just get ready for it. Dude. Just get ready for it. Don't start, I'm just brazen. Look, we all know you had a great weekend, Chris.

We all know you had a great weekend. This is when it's going to start to get personal. Absolutely. Open it for Shane at the fucking garden. Just the idea that the Eagles might draft a quarterback. This is crazy. And Tommy's getting extremely personal right now. Well, this is insane.

I was about to ask you, how was it? Now I don't fucking care. It was great. Because you're saying the wrong things. What do you mean? I'm just, I'm saying the right things, dude. I'm trying to, you know, this is the Irish way. This is the Irish way as you forecast doom. You know what I mean? That way if it doesn't happen, you're like, things are pretty good. Yeah, that way you can only go up. Yeah, I woke up to that scene. You get left over by Sean White. That was pretty sick, buddy.

Yeah, that was fucking crazy. Apparently he had been like snowboarding in that park just with like a mask and goggles on. Nobody knew who he was. Everyone was just like, damn. Damn, that guy's like really good. And then I guess like Shane got there and they jumped, he jumped over him

and then ripped the mask off. And everyone was like, what? Dude. Whoa. Yeah. That's kind of be, I mean, that's kind of, I mean, that's, kind of like

fucking Bill Murray is putting your hands his hands over your eyes and stealing a fry and be like no one's gonna believe this just going to Central Park as Sean White

yeah yeah what story is that Bill Murray stole a French fry from somebody oh yeah it's one of its famous stories he put his hands over someone's eyes

and stole a French fry yeah oh was a guy like by himself yeah yeah he's in fucking South Carolina or whatever he lives and he'll just walk up

to somebody put his hands over him and he apparently would just like eat fries all people's plates and they turn around and spill them by her and they go holy shit and he goes no one's ever going to believe this I'm just walking

well then go give me some more ketchup you fucking asshole yeah at that level dude I've only heard the stories where he like shows up to a wedding and is like congratulations they steal and going no one's ever going to believe this after eating one of your french fries is like creepy yeah it's of course

it's like hauntings yeah he's also have he's got a lot lot of creepy stories about waitresses. Maybe the French fries. Maybe the French fry story came out of that. I was going to say, no one's,

yeah, that's, you're not only doing that in one area of your life. There's no, there's no way that's just a French fry thing. Yeah. It's not just for your coming. No one will ever believe you. Some girl getting assaulted. Yeah, wasn't that the whole point of the Me Too thing is no one's going to believe you?

No one is. Just Bill married dress like Sean White and a snowy and a snowboard. I think I was just assaulted by 60-year-old Sean White. I can't even believe that was real. He did do a kickflip while he was doing it. It was pretty. Did you guys get to like hang and chat with him for a sec? Was he just like, yeah, I was bored.

I just wanted to go show off. He was pretty surreal. Like everyone was like trying to get a picture with him. I said like two words to him. Yeah. The nicest moment was he was getting a bunch of pictures. And he just said, let me get a picture with the boys, which was Shane and I, which is cool. It was the best day ever in snow, Sean White.

He would do it. He's also like, yeah, he's doing like impossible stuff right in front of you. Dude, it was like a bunny slope with like a little mound of snow. And he would do like a front flip. And you're like, how? Yeah. It was crazy. Then we just got, then we just got shit face the rest of the day.

he's slipping into a noobr I only come outside when there's a deep freeze that's the only way I can travel yeah we just disappeared it was crazy also and then we're we're walking over to this bar and the bar was like inside of like a building.

It was like in like a hotel. And I'm walking up to the front door. And this guy walks out and I go, hey, is there a bar in there? And he just goes, yeah. And then I first, I realize it's Paul Thomas Anderson. Jesus. Nice. And he just, he was like looking for an Uber.

And I just, I was drunk enough at that point. I just stood there like stunned. And I didn't say anything. I just watched him walk back. and forth. Then I ran inside. I would just scream. Your movies are gay.

He's like, who's going to believe you, man? I say that to him. You're gay. Who's going to believe? Yeah, no. It's wild. New York, man.

Only in New York is what they say. Only in New York City, yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, we snowed in New York. Pretty good. It's the best. There's no, there's no better place on earth.

He flew out. Yeah. When the storm started on Friday. Right before we got out right before. Yeah. Yeah. We were throwing a football in the park. And he goes, yeah, I'm going to go to Iowa for this bar show.

I just wanted to go somewhere else They handled it Exactly as you would imagine Yeah We got An inch or two of sleep and you couldn't hear the end of it for fucking 72 hours. Yeah, because it's exciting here.

It is exciting. I was in South Dakota and Iowa where they don't give a shit. Yeah, of course. There were eight foot snow piles. Yeah. There's nowhere to put it. People just plow to the end of the driveway and then it just sits there like a graveyard. Yeah.

It's kind of crazy. Yeah. It's cute. To be honest with you, it's cute. It's like an inch in Atlanta. Yeah, yeah. No, Atlanta shut down too. The whole city.

They barely got in the ice. It's adorable. As long as your power. hour doesn't go out it's like well that's what happened in like mississippi and Nashville see it's whackamol nobody knows what city's gonna get it yeah yeah yeah and so you have to just prepare accordingly yeah and then you go on Twitter like oh good thing we're not mississippi hey like I don't know around place one more yeah then it got to like hour 36 and I got like PTSD about like quarantine you know just getting fucked up at noon yeah yeah yeah

before we got when we were off air yeah oh yeah what's the name that Tommy it's a new it's a new thing

for me okay look at him apparently we got him we got him we got him we have our field

correspondent Josh yeah they're going to give me the fucking business right now

but look I don't I don't play video games I don't I don't. And then Chris sent me... This is so funny watching this.

Josh is hacking himself into the Matrix. No one else can do it. And he's like, oh, oh, man. Chris, hold on a second. Chris just sent me an Xbox because he knew that would work. And I'm like, yeah. That's a cool thing to do, by the way.

It's a great thing to do. It's a very cool gift, Tommy. Let's show some appreciation. Yeah, okay, all right. Well, I sent him a fucking VR thing. He never signed on once. Well, VR, nobody's doing that anymore, man. And nobody's doing the VR.

VR porn was there for like five seconds. Yeah, VR does rule. But he disrespected the VR. And I respected the Xbox for a moment. I'm down. And all I said was, it's very hard for me to turn this fucking machine on when the sun's up. Yeah. Because it's very, at my age, I'm 46 years old.

That is true. It's very weird. I get a group text from these two going, you ready to fire up? Yeah. Fire up. You're our Bill Murray. Like, I'm at the gym. I'm not going to rush home.

I don't know if you're at the gym when we first asked you. Okay. What's his team? I don't know. I think you were just hanging around the house. We wanted you to join the squad. First of all, Tommy played one night, and it was literally the,

it was one of the best rounds of all time. It was great. We all got into a tank. We all got into a tank. I'm driving. Josh is gunning. Tommy's spotting. We're blowing up tanks left and right.

We're mowing down people changing the tide of the war. Like, making a big... It was for us. It was for us, dude. Josh is Shilaboff, just shaking. After that, I was like,

Tommy's got to be hooked. Tommy's got to be hooked. That was like an optimistic. I'm not saying I'm not interested. Can I play devil's ad kid on behalf of Tommy, though? Yeah, I think that could... Well, that's what makes

some of the greatest nights of all time is that you just do it the one time. and then you take a little break. A little break. You know, that's not sustainable to do that all day, every day. Let's say, three nights a week. Yeah.

When you're done your ships. You'll got, you guys be more excited, you know? They're like, oh, man, Tommy's taking over the tank tonight? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You do it every day. They become work. Dad's home. It becomes work.

Yeah, yeah. I got to learn the mechanisms of this fucking. It's way better. Yes, dude. Yeah. I'm bad, I guess, huh? Yeah. All right, two cock suckers on this.

Josh, get up here. Sit up here. Sit on my lap. Now I'm envisioning all of us in a tank and we're just arguing with Tommy. No, that's a lot of that, too. We're fighting the other guys. What do you mean? How do I steer? What do you mean I steer weird?

What does that mean? What are you trying to say? Dude. Yeah, we were on the battlefield in Germany. What did Tommy name himself? Okay, so you can name yourself whatever. Tommy joins and signs, up as Tommy Pope 7283.

That's true. First name and social. Oh, that was the social? No, no. Yeah,

just four numbers to be like, no one will believe it's the real time. I don't fucking know. That's what Bill Murray would do. Bill Murray

9412. People are getting alerts that Tommy Pope 842 killed him. You'll never believe this. I used my real name. How do the fuck

what I know? Dude, I was just signing up going through the thing, you know what I mean? It's like paying a medical bill. Yeah. Tommy, Tommy, 7-1-4-2. Auto-fill, auto-fiel.

Here's my address, my girl's name. I got killed by Tommy Pope's Amex. What the hell is this, man? I got jeans out of this? You might run into some Tommy Popes out on the battlefield. That happened while. I was in the trenches once and I ran into Dr. Adolph's sponge.

Dr. Adolf's sponge and I was like, hey, hey. He was like, what? This is what you'll never believe this. Yeah, it's me. I'm actually French for him. Geotag Argentina. Interesting. All right.

Yeah, yeah. I am also at the Adaf sponge. That's great. See, this is good. This is how you build the camaraderie. But you do that too many days in a row, then it's going to get a little stale. You don't want to lose that.

You don't want to lose the spark. No, no, dude. You know, hard it is to do anything in the day. Yeah. That's not controlling your fucking inner demons. But it is. I agree with you. It's an outlet.

It's a demon outlet. Yeah. I agree. I, one million percent agree with you. I've just not locked in to that consistent behavior that it makes sense to go power up. My girl's watching fucking desperate housewives.

My dog is licking my nuts. and I can't be like, guys, I got to get in the mix here. We got a tank war. Yeah, yeah. With my two adult friends. Yeah, but that's, but isn't that her? That's better than a desperate housewives. Come on.

Well, but isn't that her tank war? It's the same thing. Isn't it the same thing? We're desperate house husbands. Yeah, yeah. It's the same fucking thing. You can feel the desperation in the tank. Yes.

We have to win this. Maybe if I play in my bedroom, because we only got two TVs, and I'll put the blackout curtains down and it make it feel like nighttime, and then I'm not a piece of shit. There you go. Like a tank game at fucking 2 p.m. So it's just the light that messes with you. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, the sun. Yeah. It's a ingrain thing. It does become, it does start to feel a little bit addictive if you're playing during the day, probably. It's like drinking.

We said this. Yeah. You got a bottle of Jack at 11 a.m. You need to reevaluate. You put mezcal in your coffee? Yeah. Shit's wrong. Well, I got to get rid of the shakes.

I got to get rid of the shakes, Tommy. So I can drive the tank. That's what they're doing. So I can drive the tank probably. shaking until you hit the Xbox remote. Dude, well, this isn't just some, this isn't like Call of Duty or something where you're like

sliding around shooting people. This is like war games. I like that you is collaborative and you can all link in on the same thing. It's practically Boy Scouts. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the only and I said this to Chris, it's like it's the only time we talk.

Yeah. So I was like, fucking yes, send it to me. Yeah. And I can finally converse with the guy. Yeah. I want a fucking business with. Dude, I got into Fortnite during quarantine. In a bang. One o'clock.

One o'clock. No, not that way. Not that way. Not that way. The other way. Go around. Look, there's fucking, just send him a number.

Send him a number. This is how work. It's so great. Out left. Left. Where's left? 134. Just say 134.

134. Yeah. Josh is like, oh, we're dead. And your girl's watching it and not understanding. No. Meanwhile,

you guys are closer than you've ever been. She would never. She would never. arguing, you know. Dude, you literally. Yeah. The same thing.

You just miss his voice, man. Yeah. It's genuinely working with your buddies to like take a hill. I mean, it's Yeah. And it's all negative communication the whole time.

There is no, I bet there's not even like, hey, Chris, that's a really good shot, pal. There's not even one of those. No, we had a couple of those. We did have a, yeah, we did have a couple of positive. Good. Heat, because there's three different, you know, three different controls. You got the tank guy.

Yeah. You got the, what do you call it? The gunner. Yeah. Who's lining things up? What's the third one? Spotter. You got the troop commanders, both.

Vehicle commanders. Yeah, yeah, driving. What's the big tube on the front of the tank? What's that? That's the gun. Okay. All right. I'm getting the hang of it.

Dude, it's like a, it's like a, it's like an RPO for a quarterback. Like, you know when they're good at something. Yeah. So after a game, we'd be like, Josh, you fucking killed it back there. Yeah, yeah. My bet. And then it would flip. Josh is like, can I drive one of it?

Okay, Josh. Okay. Everybody wants their kills. But it's powerful. Just to line something up going, that was on me too, even though he shot it. And I think it's important to get some of that out of you as a man. I think that's why, like, you know, guys at hunt. Yeah.

You need to get some of that aggression out of there. The video game is very important for that. Yeah. Tank coming. Oh, yeah. Blow up another tank? You got to release your balls on a tank. Also, when you're spotting, you get to, you're looking through like binoculars, so you get a really zoomed in look at guys just getting their bodies blown to bits. It's a real. Yeah. What is the, who is the enemy? Are these generic looking soldiers or are these slightly ethnic? Can you?

Yeah, you're either, you're either the allies or the Germans. So why do you guys pick the Germans? Just to feel what that was like. We were on the Germans. We were on Germans sometimes. It's sad to say, but like all the German guns and stuff are. so much better. Well, all their stuff was better, right? We just had more stuff. It wasn't that the whole thing? You can even see like... Their tanks, their subs. I'm going to start there. No, I watched the guy I watched the guy talking about this, that it took

them like, it was something like 12 hours to change a transmission or something on a tiger. And then the Americans, it took like, what was ours? The Bradley, I think. It was like four hours or something. So we just had more shit ready to go. Really? Yeah. Even though theirs were way better. You see that kid on Halloween that was

dressed like a fucking SS soldier? He looked amazing. Of course. Well, you can get away with an Iowa, man. Nobody's paying attention. He was a bouncer. He's a bouncer in Iowa. Nine. Nine?

Yeah. Dude, it's crazy because the game itself, too, does have like... Hugo Boss, dude? Yeah, it's Hugo Boss. They have, they have, like, way more Nazi uniforms and they're, like, very cool. Yeah. You're like, come on.

I know what you guys are doing. They're beautiful. Yeah, they spent too much money looking good, you know? Yeah, true. We came to play. True. No logos on the uniforms, nothing on the helmet. 100%.

Yeah. We showed up rated, right. It's just, it's the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, man. Actually, the opposite. But yeah.

Cleveland Brown should be wrecking with their shitty uniform. Maybe the worst uniform in sports. Well, they are bad, but yeah, uniform wise. Pick another. Take another NFL. and that's worse than theirs. This episode's brought to you by Ridgewallet. Awesome.

Oh, you're talking about uniforms. Just uniforms. Oh, just uniforms. Browns, the worst. Is there any other team that doesn't have any logo on their helmet? It's just an orange helmet for the Browns, right? It used to be- Which is already confusing.

Another team. Steelers have half. They have just one side. has a logo. Yeah. Still got the cool emblem, though, on the other side. I'm trying to think of who else just... Fuck.

I mean, the Vikings technically don't have a logo. They just got the horns. Every war is great. Eagles technically don't have a logo. It's just the... No, but you got some of the wings. The wings are sick, though. It's a lot of.

The wings are sick. I'm just saying. No, something adjacent to your mascot, you know, but the brown... I don't even know why they're called the Browns. I mean, I don't want to go too deep into Cleveland here, but... I think the guy who made it's name was like Brown. I think the owner was Brown.

I mean, we got to bring the Redskins back. Oh, really? Yeah. I think he like, I'm trying to remember the order, but I think he made the Bengals too. Who also had the Tiger Strikes. Yeah, just some guy. And I never understood this fucking son.

You ever hear this saying about calling a hot girl, or an ugly girl with a great body, Cincinnati Bengal? Oh, I've never heard that. No. Great body. Great body. Horrible helmet. Oh, okay.

Got it. Well, now it makes sense. You call a girl with a great body and a terrible face a Cincinnati Bengal. Huh. And I look back and I go, they're fucking helmets are the best part of their uniform. It might be the opposite. That I would buy like a hot face, but a terrible body. I'd buy a Cincinnati vangle.

Yeah, exactly. That I could see. That you can get behind, huh? Yeah, yeah. that one, because the uniforms themselves just feel like underwhelming. It's just consistently funny that he's wearing a guy. I could get behind.

It took it took him like five minutes to tie that up today. He does look. He looks like an athlete. This never gets untied. He looked like you just got cut from like another team. I would say picked up. I would say picked up. I would say picked up.

Oh, now he's still flex. Look at this. This guy is the post-signing press conference. Like a hockey player, yeah. He does look like one, yeah. You're zooming in from Toronto right now. You look fucking amazing. But he still has allegiance to the flyers, even though he got traded.

Only on podcast. It's still me, baby. It's still me, man. Yeah, man. Tommy, what are you drinking there? What is that lemony? We got a whole bar going here, man. Yeah, this is a...

Chris, we need you back over here, buddy. We need to take some sips with us. Get an Xbox, dude. We all drink together. Can I say, and by the way, whatever the game is, the collaboration, the greatest gaming year of my life, I think, was NBA 2K. I want to say it was like 10 with Michael Jordan on the cover. You could make a created player and then you could all play with your created players on the same online squad. That sounds incredible.

And me and three of my basketball teammates all lived in a flat that was on the same hallway and we each had our own Xbox. Yeah. You're in the room next to the guy and you're playing. It was, dude, it was the best. Dude, I will say nothing, I would actually enjoy that quite a bit because I watched... I watched pro basketball

gaming to see what it was like because I thought I would be like it's got to be the most like efficient, just beautiful game. You know what I mean? Here's what, here's the trick. We felt even more connected because we actually grinded in the game to get our creative players

better. The reason they got rid of the game is people started hacking the game. And so they would make a, they would make like a nine foot tall Steve Kerr. Yeah. And you had to play against that, you know? Yeah, yeah, impossible. It was like an achievement if we could beat those guys.

It was the Monstars. Oh, my God. Yeah. Just an Irish dude that tall. Exactly. And he's got the three-pointer stats already, you know? And he's got that like Pockmark face like somebody dipped a towel on oil. Oh, yeah.

You're already a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got the scary Irish face. moving off ball and stuff. Was it nice? Yeah, yeah, because, well, we were, dude, we were a college best. I watched pro-Gamers. We were a college basketball team.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what I want to see. Yeah, well, and then, you know, these guys that don't appreciate. Watching a real person, watching a real person ball watch in a video game is. Yeah. It was more than I can bear.

It got some nuts. I like through my phone. Yeah, yeah. No, no, you have to collaborate because again, you're playing against a 10 foot tall fucking, uh, uh, T.J. McConnell. you know

and so you have to but these guys that that hack the game they don't have appreciation for the grind that took to get good you pump-pick those guys out of their goddamn sneakers you know because again and let me remind you guys

they're nine foot tall so they think they can block it from underneath they're like Wimbunyama they think they can block it from under the goal so if you get it and you just wait for a second you start timing it they're jumping over your body

and then you can get in the there, you know. It was fun. Dude, I just watched a reel on Instagram where it was a fighter pilot. He was an actual F-15 or whatever it's called. I don't know. I think F-15's correct. Yeah. So he was an actual fighter pilot that got into this video game to fight this other dude that was like really good. Yeah. Yeah. Just really fucking good. It doesn't always translate though. It does not translate because this dude whipped around him. Yeah. Do you know the best example of this ever? I read this player's tribune.

Worst guy at playing Madden with his own player, Michael Vick. Yeah. Yeah. The year when everyone, he was like a 99 and he could do everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The article was so great. Mike Vick's like, I just couldn't figure out how to make myself do it, man. I don't know how I do it.

Yeah. It's like, Goodwill hunting. He's like, I don't know. I can't explain how I do all these things. I could just play. Dude, I used to feel that way. Yeah. Yeah, there's some fat guy that's doing back.

flips over people with Mike Vick. I used to feel that way. When I would play like Madden 94 and I was like a running back in Pee-Wee football and the running backs in that game couldn't make moves I could make. I was just like, this is crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

I like it drove me. I was like, who's making the physics engine for this game? Yeah, exactly. I can't even juke. It's got to be nuts to be Mike Vick and know that you have the wiring. to make the guy move and just come on,

come on, come on, Mike, we did this yesterday. That's techmo. We just did this. I know, Techmo Paul was fucking Bo Jackson, dude. Nasty. Also, what was the, the hockey game and what was that, like,

98 or 94? Yeah, 94. You went around the back of the net and then took a reverse slap that nobody could stop. Yeah, if you backhanded it, going across the cage was going in every time. 94 is.

is the gaming time where you find the one button that just wins. There's only two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was fucking the best. Second Genesis, dude. And you could hit guys so hard, their brain would be, like, bleeding onto the ice. They got rid of that, too, in the 95 edition. Chris, I had a horrible nightmare last night.

About what? Involving us. The Eagles drafted a quarterback? No, no. Don't. That's pretty good. Gris liked it. He's in prison.

Don't even joke about that. I actually don't even want to talk about it. Wait. Why? Are you kidding me? No. You're gonna load us up like that? You're gonna lube us up?

We were trying to get to some location. It was me, him and his girl, and we're all in these fucking motorcycles and we're on the top of like, I don't know, fucking trailers. What? Like, we're riding along trailers.

Like the evil can evil? Like on top of them? Yeah, and then we get on the street, we're on top of, like, fucking four-wheelers. Yeah. And there was a red light. His girl goes. And now you stop at the red light. This already said, this sounds so good already.

On top of trailers. I love how cool your dreams are. Yeah, I wish you knew how violent. You're like, so we're all on motorcycles smoking six and we're jumping rooftop to roof top. And then the first uncool thing is you guys stop at a red light. we abide by the rules dude okay you're not even on the street

the red light is beneath we're not whipping around city hall and Phyllis fellas let's keep it clean here like a bunch of schicatoly we all come to the light Tommy's like there's cameras in this intersection it was a nightmare anyway

your girl bobs off the top of this fucking 18 wheeler like goes right into a truck think or somewhere else and you and I'm like no no no no no no no and you tried to go for it and then you turn around going oh shit and like right

I could see you just drop right off the front of this fucking truck oh no and it was like a ways up I turn my bike all the way around I'm still on the top of the truck Tommy runs he's not trying to help.

No, I couldn't move. Could move. And I look back and you can see people like outside their cars going, what the fuck? Then I look over the edge. Yeah, it ain't good. Yeah. I'm sorry to put this to a fucking hope. I know.

No, it's so funny. That nightmare. It's so funny how obvious, how obvious of a metaphor it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have to dissect the dream. We have to dissect the dream.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh. Oh. right? It's like a man- Your girlfriend does something

You try to help You get killed Oh no Do not And there's even Bystanders going Why is this guy doing this What the hell was too

For And then turned his bike Going Oh shit Oh shit And then just Blood in a manhole There was even a red light

There to try To stop the relationship From continuing It was dead Yeah, did you wake up after that or did it just spiral into something else? Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no. That's a reset button on the Xbox.

Yeah, he wakes up and it immediately. That's a power down. Immediately. Chris, you want to log on, buddy? I was thinking about you. Yeah, you want to tank? You want to tank? Miss you, man. I do. Damn.

That's crazy, man. I haven't had any wacky dreams. I was going to say, has Tommy been in any of your dreams? Chris, is this a mutual, or you're not even thinking about him? No, I don't know. I haven't, I haven't, I don't feel like having fun. I'm enjoying the distance, actually. Me and Sean White.

Fucking every night. Yeah, me and Sean White, that was my dream or in real life. Yeah. It's Sean White jumping over me. He jumped over my, he frogs me, and then, fuck. It's on Twitter, I was tagged. It's actually kind of a big deal. Oh, shit.

That really happened? Tell about your kitty dreams. Both Shane and I survived the whole thing. That's great. You're my girl so happy. Yeah. Damn. That's sick, buddy.

It is sick. But, it's nice. We're now back in Westchester. Snow is, it's nice to having all this snow. Yeah. I miss it.

It's like a real winter. Yeah, and in South Dakota, Iowa, they don't, it doesn't, when I got there, was it 20 below?

Yes, but the roads are fine. There was no ice. Yeah, it's like Alaska. They have a guy for that. Yeah. He's just ready.

They probably get tired of snow the way we do with, like, heat and sun in Austin. Yes. But on the East Coast, you get all the four seasons. Yeah. Yeah. You get all the breaks. You get all the fucking, uh, no. So you want to, well, because you're a real sports fan.

You want to experience the good and the bad, so you can appreciate the good seasons. You want to change. So I think, yeah, you want the change. Yeah. You don't want to avoid the trials and tribulations. Yeah. Again, you don't, you don't hack the game. You grind your player

You know? That's how you become a man Turn through the system Yeah, you have to appreciate The system is four seasons Like imagine if you guys were playing your war game And somebody had like a 50 foot tall tank Because they hacked the game

You know And now you guys got to go up against that It's just Steve Kerr It's It's hanging up Yeah It shoots basketball That explodes

Just gives you CTD doesn't kill you Yeah yeah yeah It slowly kills you It felt that way the other night, dude, we had a whole platoon of guys, Josh can vouch for this. This one dude, Tiny Tim, on the other team, was

slaughtering us. Yeah. There's six of us trying to, six of us trying to flog something about Tiny Tim. Josh's making a face. He's making, oh, he's hacking back into the Matrix. Josh is drawing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude. I know you can't hear.

We're just talking about Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim's a motherfucker. We needed Sergeant Randall. on our team. We had Tiny Tim Tiny Tim's foe his his heel has got to be Sergeant Randall. This is something we didn't

address with sending Pop Pop a fucking Xbox and going Hey we got this tank game. I'm like, okay cool, let's have fun. Yeah. These guys are There's Tiny Tims out there that are dominating. Yeah, yeah. Dominating. And that's all they do

while the sun's up. That's correct. But I've never I just want to, and I ask Chris, go, is there a feature in this game where we can play just the computer? I would like to do CPU. Do a couple of warm-up rounds. Yeah. Which is us going, let's beat the system.

Most games have beat the system. Tommy, there's no time for that in the battle, in the heat of war. No shit. You think they could say that on D-Day? Hey, can we practice on a couple of box, please? Well, I wasn't ready for D-Day. I was ready for practice, dude. This is what I'm saying.

I would have more fun if we could just beat the computer. Yeah. And they were like, oh, yeah, that doesn't exist. Yeah, but it's a bigger rush when you can finally kill Tiny Tim, you know. I haven't had one kill. You haven't had one? Well, then you're a drive. I know.

You had kills. With the tank, you had kills. What about spotting? Can you just be the spotter? Huh? Can you just be the spotter? Why do you have to be the gunner? Because I want to kill.

Okay. Well, you're not good enough to do that yet. Yeah, you got to jump back in. You got to ride. You got a ride. You got to ride. You should hear the first fucking 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah, you have to practice.

The whole purpose is wanting to kill. Yeah. You got, yeah, low and slow. So this guy was really taking you guys out. Yeah, he was fucking us up. Dude. I'm fucking them up. It was fucking us up.

So wait a second. Is it one tank versus one tank or is it like a... It's like 50 on 50. Oh, okay. So some guys are in a ditch. The infantry, the tanks, the artillery. Yeah. And how do you coordinate with your other 50 guys what you're going to be doing?

You got a headset. There's an officer. There's an officer. the officer of the I hate Chris takes the initiative Chris is everyone on the same channel to chat

Yeah the officer No way You have to get 50 guys On the same page Well it's there's 50 racist redditors Yeah yeah It can be a problem

It can be a problem We ran into that The other night too With this guy Ricky Bacon He wouldn't shut the fuck Ricky Bacon He would be He'd talk about Ricky Bacon

These sound like local Comedy legend Bro brother you ever follow Ricky Bacon in Jacksonville you ever have to follow that guy yeah his final joke is he just brings out one puppet Ricky Baker but you should be the officer Chris

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys get frustrated. Well, Ricky Bacon, it's always like some nine-year-old kid who's like the most racist person you've ever met in life. Of course. They're not listening to their parents. He's so good, though. He wouldn't, no, he talked a big game. He sucked ass.

Every time Ricky Bacon picked his head up, Tiny Tim was sending a bullet right through it. It was nuts. Tiny Tim's dirty. He's just sitting on it. Tiny Tim was. Let me ask you guys. Josh and Chris, do you, is there, every time you log on, do you see a consistency in these guys that are playing? Like, is Tiny Tim, is he in the playing field every single time?

No, no, no. But you'll run it, you'll run into the guys like, again. Like, you'll see dudes again sometimes. But, yeah, no, it's always different. There's so many games. There's so many people playing that it's like, it's kind of rare. But then you'll see that you'll see a good guy. again and if he's on your team you're like you like if i ran in a tiny tim i would be dude i'd have

my hand on his back wherever you're going dude what do you need yeah can i get a pick can i get a pick you're asking you're asking for a pick in the airport with tiny tim that's what you said that's off tiny tim are you Sean white yes could you jump over my head can you jump over me please I'm such a fan yeah no it's It's always, it's always different. Dude, I've never, I've never experienced anything like that. Because there's six, seven guys potentially in a platoon. All seven of us were getting worked by one guy, Tiny Tim,

who was in like a bush somewhere. We couldn't even find him. He was just, it was slaughterhouse. You imagine this report back to like actual military guys? To your wife? He was in a bush somewhere, man. He smoked so many guys. Imagine prepping a meal with your wife going,

Tiny Tim, we couldn't get him. He was everywhere. He was nowhere. Yeah. Yeah, but she's got the same story for you. Yeah, Angelina, man. They couldn't cross the check, man. She had every different argument for every husband that she had sex with. And it was the same thing.

She kept fucking him in a bush somewhere. They never figured out where she was doing it. It really is the same. And, you know, Nick, the maps, the maps are huge. The maps are like five miles by five miles. If it's 50 on 50, it has to be, right? Yeah. The maps are huge.

And so we, like, switched. like we went totally the other side of the map to try to like come into this point from the other side and Tiny Tim once again. It was like, the old switch the side of the map trick. We're a kilometer away from the last where Tiny Tim was killing us before. And he somehow on the, like on the other side is a legend.

He's a fucking legend. He's a Russian legend. Yeah, man. Who's that Russian sniper that, has like the most kills in World War II. Brittany Griner? That was fun for Josh.

She's a WMBA player who was being held. Yeah, she got stuck in Russia. Oh, the trainee. Okay. That's all you have to say to Tommy. You can say that about any WMA player. Tommy, what do you remember about Caitlin Clark? Oh, the trainee?

No. They can play with the boys? No, Kate Clark's in Iowa 10. Except for K. That bitch is She's the hottest woman ever, man. She's a tango. Cincinnati Bangle.

She's a tanker. Cincinnati, man. She's, oh, yes, Galen Clark is Tony, too.

She's in a bush somewhere. That actually does. She's been in a bush her whole life. In Iowa, in Iowa Hawkeye does sound in a bunch of other names. She's figuring her to boyfriend, man.

She's that good. Yeah. Her boyfriend's Ricky Baking. That's great. Is this a crossover game? Can you play on PlayStation? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because boys, I have a PlayStation. I haven't fired it up in forever because I'm busy. But if it's time to, if it's time to tank up. Can you do that? Cross,

cross platform? Yeah, yeah. Chris is saying yes. No, Chris said the same thing. But Josh is making a face. No,

no, no, no, no. My cousin Sean plays with that. he's got a PlayStation. Okay. Shout out to Sean. Sean does rule.

Sean's nice. The concept. Sean's nice with the MG, dude. He gets, you get him. Me, Chris and Sean, we locked in the onward

with the VR. Yeah. Oh, good. Boys, let me tell you something. Mm-hmm. We already got two. I'll buy another.

Another two. If you want to get in the VR. No. VR is, VR is so fun. It hurts. Yeah. It's unbelievable.

If that's on the tape, if you're going to buy me, I would love you. If that's what the point of this story. You did a bar show in Iowa. You deserve it, Bob. Thanks, man. You did our podcast? Yeah, I was just playing whackamol with a bunch of drunks for like an hour. Yeah.

This is 11 a.m. too. It was an early show. Yeah. People were drunk. Yeah. Yeah. Those shows are so fun. Here's the cool thing about the Midwest.

They're the happiest fives and sixes on earth. Yeah. It's just a bunch of fives and sixes. six is, they're not concerned with appearances, they're not concerned with, they're just trying to get fucked up and have a good time. Because the dudes are zeros and ones. Yeah, man. Yeah, so fives and six, that's like a hot.

There's smokes. Yeah, my god. It's great. It's a binary system. What's that? Zero one, zero one. Yeah, yeah. Oh, binary. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't really, we don't do the 10 thing here. We don't do the one through 10. We do zero.

Speak computer talk, my fat, bitch. Would or would not? Honestly, some nights You're just going to flip a coin, brother. Would and would not zero and one. The map of Iowa. Yeah, dude. Zero one, zero one, zero one, zero one.

One, one, zero one. That's good stuff. But, uh, that was a great time. Can I just be real quick? Tommy, you do whatever you want. Yeah. While you're back there, if you want to grab your boy, another... Is that a surge?

You got a surge going? Yeah, they didn't have the regulars. So we're getting fired up over here. You know, the high octane? Yeah, we're putting the tank in the high gear today over here, man. The monster energy drunk. Yeah, man. Chris, we need you back here, man, getting fucked up with us, pal.

I know. Can't wait. Can't wave it to be back in the nice weather. Although I'm enjoying the snow, but when it's not snow and it's just cold and dark. As long as it's not, as long as it's not all the time, I'm happy to do some snow, but I just don't like, as an adult I realize I don't really appreciate it as much. It's sort of, it's almost a hindrance in some cases. The snow? Yeah, because we're not making snowballs and sledding anymore, you know?

I want to go driving. I want to go somewhere. That can be pretty fun too. You get a nice... I guess I didn't think about it that one. You got a nice base. Actually, Nick, you can go drinking and driving is what you can do. Yeah, no one will stop you.

Especially in Austin. I will say, shout out to the Okaboji, Iowa police. Boy, are those guys hands off. Let me just say, there are no rules and regulations. They drive around, but I think it's just for show. I didn't see them, like, pulling anybody over, you know? No, no. Yo, Ginojanoi.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we found a new rule. slur for Tommy. If it's a town he's never heard of and it sounds native, that is now the slur for whatever demographic he chooses. He's going to say that the next time you guys play your war game.

Got a couple more Okajawi's to the right. Look to the right. Two o'clock. Four Okersnawis. Is my daughter in there? It's my daughter in there. Now we're back. Now we're full circle. I had forgotten about that.

Chris, this is a callback to, we had a big, a good riff before the... I can explain it again. I think it was Eddie Hall. It's one of the major power lifter guys, world champion. They were asking him, Chris, how he generates the power to break a world record for lifting. And he said that he, a psychologist taught him how to envision that his family was in danger. And that's how you tap in to the extra adrenaline that can cause you to like lift a car off your wife. for something, and so thus was

born the phrase, is my daughter in there? It's from Majestic River, what's it called? Mystic Oka Jawi is that the name of the movie? It's from the film Mystic Pizza. Also, Mystic Pizza

sucks. It's bad. We went, we went to Josh, did you hit the fan again? I always read that. The actual pizza is terrible. I'm sweating over here. You sweating? I'm sorry. Yeah, because you guys turn it to 97 degrees every time we record this shit. They don't fucking live here.

Well, Chris, get over here, man. I don't, dude. That's the problem is that, like, you got to keep it 100 degrees in there, otherwise the pipes freeze. They were like, they were like, you got to run the water. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to drip. You got to do the faucet drip. And I was like, why? And they were like, oh, because the pipes are on the outside

of the house. It's like, well, put them on the inside. That's how everyone else does it. It's all fucking dog shit. It's crazy. How do they not know how to build a house down there. I don't get it. These animals went nuts about this one inch of sleep. You know?

But what happened in the bathroom, dude? What happened in the bathroom? Me? Oh, just now? I don't know. Does you look different? You came back and you're like, these fucking animals, dude. I don't know, man.

I think he just heard of saying Okoboji again, and he got excited. You get sad in the bathroom? Total energy shift in the bathroom. I was hoping it was done Did you get a weird text? No no no You have another bad dream about Chris That was a fucking terrible

I didn't even talk about it As much as how bad it was All I did was Explain the whole thing in detail To all of our listeners That's all I did No it got me going It was bad

It'd be really interesting To see that weight lifter Like if he sets like a record For a lift what his energy is afterwards because that can't be an easy thing to shift out of what if he gets hooked on that though what if he makes them hold a gun to his daughter's head

before he lifts you know it's like only being able to sing while you smoke math something crazy yeah I watched American Idol last night and I'll tell you I haven't watched it in years every time I watch American Idol I cry now

yes why because it's beautiful oh the singers unbelievable. So we're talking these are the later these are the later rounds. I don't know. What?

Well, no. Okay. No, they're still getting the ticket to do it. Peak American television? I mean, there's other examples, but one of the peaks was the original American Idol Randy, Paul, Simon,

and it was the prelims, the trials where all the retards were trying out. That was the last, listen, my family, it was the Kill Tony of American Idol. Yeah. My family,

does not, we don't really communicate. There's four of us. We're in four different parts of the world. You only talk about it? The last thing we all did together as a family was watch these retards on American Idol. I vividly remember seeing these different guys. One guy went on in a bumblebee costume and did, I like big butts and I cannot like that thing. And it was terrible.

But it was killing so hard. It was hilarious. And they were all like, yeah, you're out. And he was gone, you know? People were going. on just to fuck around. I mean, it is kill Tony. Because the guys do that now. They dress up in a bumblebee costume and now they're going to go viral, you know? But when it works, man. But that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, but it was so good. We're talking all that. And then Paula would tell them, you're amazing, I love you, but you're not right for the show. And then Randy would be like, not for me. And then Simon would be like, you should kill yourself. It was so good. The three of them, man. I know, but of a three-day ice storm where I'm Watching American Idol and Shark Tank in the background because there's no sports. Shark Tank's not bad. Shark Tank.

I'll watch some of those clips, yeah. And I'm getting like emotional because I, it's just me and my girl. We're eating the same dog shit every day. It's truly dog food. We're eating whatever leftovers are. Two, three times a day. Yeah. I got caught by American Idol and I got emotional.

Wow. Like truly like wiping my fucking eyelashes So I can see The finale of this Do they ever do a check-in With Simon Cowl On the modern America's

He really paid the ultimate price For criticizing everyone Yeah For everything His face Yeah that's a fucking pedophile robot Is crazy Is he a pedophile?

Does he have accusations? It has to be. Yeah maybe I don't know You have to say allegedly It is a real like Portrait of Dorian Gray Situation

You should that video of him clapping? Where he's like, oh, he's the most uncoordinated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's uncoordinated because he's been finger and toddler. He's not actually. That throws you off a little bit. His joints are all discombobular. He's not like an actual musician, right?

He's just like a producer or something molester. He's a good money from everything. Just one day. I'm sorry, he's just like juke-cund. Is that how you said? That's one word. Okay. Ocajab with you.

Ocajooie. That's what he is. It's one of us Akajibuishes. Ashkenawi, you know. Ashkenazi. Ashkenawa. Ashkenawa.

Ashkeno. I'm just laughing to the idea that that affects your crew of office. Yeah. Not going to be working here anymore. Not going to be working here. Just one day a pitcher shows up to practice. He's not throwing quite right. Coach is like, what did you do this weekend?

Yeah. I've only seen this once before This guy It was decent three Yeah Yeah man American Idol was an all-timer And then I

I can still name some of the fucking people Kelly Clarkson won first Ruben stuttered he beat Clay Aiken It was very controversial And then Fantasia Berino she won Yeah first black Ruben Stutter

I think one before First black is crazy man Godfrew but we have fun Ruben Stutter Carrey Underwood I think is one of the only like still active

She's on there now Yeah I'm sure she's like a whatever I couldn't recognize Bo Bice I remember that guy He was a big deal Yeah Chris Daughtry if I'm not mistaken He made a run he had a couple

Yeah I didn't like that I don't like that grunge fucking... Sure. 90s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Act. Yeah. From a...

You don't like... He was like punk rock country, wasn't he? He was like that weird... Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like studded belt and the like... Yeah.

Bandanas around his wrists. That was a thing for it, dude. Total costume didn't work. Yeah. Good voice. But the whole thing. He looked like the lead singer of Disturbed. Yeah.

You ever seen that guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But he was doing like country Christian shit. It was the other side. Yeah. There's a lot of artists. Justin Warini, he's who lost to Kelly Clarkson.

Yeah, the current here. They made a movie together. Yeah. It was a big, it was a big deal. Yeah. So I still remember. Did you watch the movie? I think I saw a couple of clips.

I'm like, this guy's gay, obviously. You're lying. You're lying. You saw a little movie. I'm out. He's 100% gay. I'm trying to go back through the logs and who else was in there. But I think that's a lot.

I just named like seven people. her fat arms oh Kelly Clarkson yeah well she's like Adele man she can't she's she's you know yeah she's binary she's the binary code it's wood and wooden no but Adele was like look

I'll go black and I'll lose some weight which is the opposite of what you should do but Kelly Clarkson she was always built for the blacks she had this I call them fat arms but it's fat arms No, we understand what you're saying. Yeah, she had that.

We decoded that one pretty quick. Oh, you don't think it was that brilliant? We also know what you mean when you're saying blacks. We also know what you want to say instead of blacks. All right, I'll coach you. I call it a big ass. I'm a tanker. I'm a tanker on Xbox, dude.

I'll switch it up. Yeah, yeah. So what makes you emotional when you watch it today? Is it the success or the failure or just the... Dude, they do it so well. like watching 60 minutes. 60 minutes is the best program. You cry when you watch 60 minutes.

Well, no, it's just so well produced and so well edited. And these... I think Tommy selected... I think Tommy selected like a few things that he's given himself permission to like feel things while watching. That's not gay. One end of the spectrum is the Eagles, Eagles games. And the other end of the spectrum is American Idol.

I cry when the Eagles... minutes. Yeah. Man, if only when they go to commercial on the Eagles games, it could be that T, T, T, T, T T T T T T T T T Tmmy would just start bawling his eyes out. That's my sleep machine. That's my sound machine. That gives me a panic.

That was like the, you haven't done your homework clock. Yeah. Dude. Sunday night 60 minutes. It just put the pressure on. It felt the pressure. No way. Simpsons come on.

You start, your feet start sweating. It's seven. That's a good throwback. It's seven. And I didn't draw Julius Caesar from my book report. Right. I am fucked.

Draw for my book report. Well, the time slip is my brother. The time slippage is so real. When you're a kid, a kid in the Northeast and that sun starts going down at like four. Yeah.

And you're like, I got plenty of time. And all of a sudden it's 8.30. And you're like, oh, no. Yes. Yes. You don't have appreciation for time or other people's time. I certainly, I certainly waited until the last minute and watched and watched the beginning of my parents' divorce because of the book report I took too long to get started on. I feel like we're all locked in this, this late time zone where you just go, I'll wait until the exact moment I have to act. Yeah. Yeah. And it's way too fucking light for everything. Well, you like, auditions, reading scripts, podcasts, stand up. Right.

You build the pressure to a point where it'll be like, it'll be easier to potentially get an extension tomorrow than to attempt to finish this homework that's due. So what a lot of guys do is they don't, they won't even like fully study. It's almost like an excuse you can put it in the back of your head where you go, wow, I didn't. Didn't John Jones say that on Rogan where he was like, I would go out and party the night before a fight. that way if I lose I know

I wasn't at my best He has an excuse you build in an excuse It says an Ishkenawa So you don't Yeah man He's one of us Yes Tommy Yes Tommy

He would have been attracted to Kelly Clarkson Is that what we're saying Or pre-addell Yeah Yeah Priadel Carrick Carrie
