Starting point is 00:02:27 Hey, I don't think people are tired of cruise talk yet. I think they want more cruise less sports. more cruise less sports more cruise less sports more cruise less sports more cruise less sports Disney cruise ooh I don't know if I could handle that my buddy went on one he's like 50 single guy went on Disney cruise not sure that's okay I am not sure that's all right he loved it and not sure that's uh he thought he was going to be at a port the same time as us He was in Casumel, so they're in a different route. It was a different run.
Starting point is 00:03:11 But he loved it. Next year will be in Casamel. I believe he's like 55. Troy, Florida. Yeah, I don't. I thought Disney cruises were only for kids. Like families. Me and Beezer met up with him in Florida, and he hooked up tickets at Disney.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Really? New best friend. How do you know that guy? Met him online randomly? That sounds about right. But he's high up at Disney. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Like, president of it. Oh. Yeah. He goes to Hong Kong. He built the Hong Kong. Oh, so did you, like, slide into DMs? Or did he slide into your DMs? I think he hit me up.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I never know the origination of stuff, but super cool dude. Now, I mean, loves Michigan. He'll text, watching Michigan, drinking beer. He's got a hot tub, pool, chilling. Great, dude. But yeah, love the Disney Cruise. You ever hang out with him? Yeah, we did when we went to Disney.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Oh, did you guys go to his house? Never went to his house. He came to our hotel. We partied. We met up with him at Disney. And he had a chick with him. We all hung out, showed us the ropes, got us front of the line and stuff. How was she?
Starting point is 00:04:22 Crazy, drunk. Okay. I don't believe he talks to her anymore. She was nuts. Like, we would take a picture and, like, she'd do everything but flash. We're like, oh, it's Disney. Tone it down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:35 That doesn't really go with the Disney theme. It was Epcot. That's Disney. But that's the around the world one where everybody drinks at it. Oh, got it. Yeah. Did you say for the fireworks at Disney? There wasn't ones at that one.
Starting point is 00:04:49 We did it at the Magic Kingdom. Oh, is it Magic Kingdom that has them? Bayser wanted to do it, Coach. I felt like a predator the whole time. Yeah, because I was in Florida a couple times for soccer tournaments as an adult. And Becky and Joe, they were married. They lived in Florida. They worked at Disney.
Starting point is 00:05:05 and they lived close by and I went by there and I saw that I was from their front porch you could just watch the fireworks. It was awesome. Yeah, they do a huge show, almost comparable to Nashville. Yeah, and then they moved back to Houston so now they don't have that house where you can watch the fireworks from their front porch. Oh, cool, Mickey Mouse. That was neat. Yeah. But that has nothing to do with our crews.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Dude, where are we at? We're in, uh... We're heading towards Bimini. Yeah, we are out of Dassau. and we're headed to Bimini. And what do you know? The ship never left until 10 a.m. Because it's not that far.
Starting point is 00:05:45 So we really could have partied all night. There was no reason to be at port, which they told us at 1.30, the boat never left. I believe me and Beezer woke up and we were still at port. Oh. And then we started driving once we were doing the show. And everybody's getting sick because the guy was going one mile an hour. because apparently NASA Audubimini is one mile, nautical.
Starting point is 00:06:07 So the boat was just doing figure eight, Steve said. Yeah, I didn't know that because right when Keith Urban ended, I went in, closed the door, balcony, shut the shades, lights out. Somebody like you, enough of that. No, and I was just like, good night. And so I was asleep. So I had no idea that we just sat at port, but that's cool to know. We were us.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You're not me. Right, Keith Urban. But yeah, I woke up that next morning, and I'm like, all right, here, let's get the day going. And we went and got breakfast. Morgan and I went to the buffet. Y'all are wild. Well, we've got to eat, man. But I would do a drive-by.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Just because we were talking to people all day long, I'm trying to save the voice. Yeah. So as long as you don't keep, you don't stop moving, you're good. So, I mean, I was grabbing bacon as I was dropping some on the floor and still putting it on my plate. I would head to the eggs. one scoop you're out and then people don't have time to stop you corner you ask you questions when's the baby born is it a boy or a girl stuff like that the coffee guy he would always know I'd tell him my order when I started and by the time I was done he had it waiting for me I'd grab it
Starting point is 00:07:16 as long as you're walking five to ten miles an hour fast people aren't going to stop you and because we had to get to the show you guys you and morgan would go sit down and have the lord's breakfast with 15 of our closest friends well I just always was hungry and And I knew I had to eat. And right when I'd walk into breakfast, oh, lunch you look like crap. Oh, man, you're hungover. Going to be a long day for you. Thank you, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:44 How about maybe I woke up 45 seconds ago? I peed and I walked down here. And it takes me a little bit to wake up. Just because you look tired doesn't mean you're hung over every time. Minds me of my grandmother to my dad. My dad, I believe we're getting ready for one of my cousins' graduates. and my dad had been working all morning. And he's like, he'd been setting up tables and chairs and everything.
Starting point is 00:08:10 His hair's a little messy. But I mean, he'd been working his butt off all morning on a Saturday. Okay? Yeah. Helping family. It wasn't his side of, but it's non-blood. It's mixed blood. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:20 And my grandma hits him with. Tiger blood. Five hours he'd been bawling out with obviously me and my brother. We'd lift every chair in all of Flint, Michigan. And my grandma gets there at 11 a.m. And goes, geez, Dave. You just wake up? Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Hair was a little messy. No, Barb, I didn't. I've been setting things up for five hours. Thanks. Oh, man. That's their relationship. She hits him with, Did you just wake up?
Starting point is 00:08:52 What a lie, dude. What a lied. Yeah, it's like the one girl, Franny, I met the first day at lunch, and we're at the blackjack tournament. She yells out. Lunch. Your face looks swollen today. What? Huh? You don't look as good as you did the other day. Okay. Thanks for Annie. But you wore, though, a little bit. We took a show picture towards this time period that we're at right now. You look swollen. I look like I had onset seasonal depression. It wasn't looking good, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Well, I think maybe seawater inflates your face. I have no idea. But anyway, so I wake up and I eat breakfast and I had the same thing I always had. omelette with ham, spinach, bell peppers, onion, throw some sausage in there. Mm. And boom, there you go. And some cheese had the omelet every day. That's what I had every day.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Boom goes the omelamite. But that way you guarantee it's made right then. I understand the thought behind it. But the problem is you're having the same thing every day. But it is good. It is good. Yeah. But then I didn't even go to the show because I
Starting point is 00:10:01 I had Keith played breakfast? No, I had bingo tequila. Sunrise. Bingo! And they had it in this little blue sky lounge thinking, oh, not that many people are going to come to bingo. Oh, my gosh. The line was out the door past the pool, out to the outdoor pool. It was forever long.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Baser confirmed this. She couldn't even get in. It was no. Dude, they had guys. hauling chairs in there. They were bringing folding chairs and just lining, just putting a folding chair anywhere one would fit.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Oh, it might have been me and Beazer's folding chair at Lori's place from Keith Irvin the night before. It could have been. And there was just chairs everywhere, people standing everywhere. They sold out of freaking boards. Some of the people that wanted boards could even get them because they didn't have enough printed.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Just right on your arm. We'll see if you got a bingo. Yeah, just guess the numbers. You guys make up your own board and then cross them off. You could get a napkin from the bar and write your bingo card down. Yeah, she said it was Buck Wild. She couldn't even get in, Beezer. It was Buck Wild and you and I were going to try to do a sore loser's pod after bingo. And you were texted me at like 1130 and bingo was still going on. And Morgan told me you gave three minute wait time and you were out of there. Three minutes and you bailed.
Starting point is 00:11:28 no because she first of all guys on the ship the Wi-Fi texting you would send me a picture I'd get it in a day texts were terrible we did the walkie-talkie thing that never worked nobody ever used them I chilled there but also the audio guy was chilling there and he was just wondering are you guys doing it and then I had to come to Jesus moment
Starting point is 00:11:46 I said we recorded our pods before we came here so we didn't have to have this conversation my voice hurt I knew your voice was going to be bad we had places to be Morgan was also trying to finagle a way to record a best bits with you. I said, I will stand down. We will not do a podcast. Goodbye. Definitive answer. Sometimes you need that at C. Oh, am I going to
Starting point is 00:12:09 go left, right? What am I going to do at C? A captain makes a decision. I put on, I am the captain now, and I said we're not doing a podcast. I don't. And I wasn't mad about it. I can't be upset. No big deal. I mean, I did dick around there for like 10 minutes, but I was like... She said three. 10, 3. It doesn't matter. I wasn't done bingo and I didn't get down with bingo for a while. I mean, I can check the text with Bayzer and I can tell you the exact text I said WTF are you because I'm ditching lunch. And it was probably about 25 minutes. Oh, there ain't no way it's 25 minutes. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Let's see. I will say this though. You're right about the text and the Wi-Fi because Morgan sent me those pictures and videos of me playing in the waves at Cabbage Beach. And I have them on my phone, but it won't let me download them still. Yeah, and oh, dude, look at these pictures from Bezor. Guys, you get on a ship and no internet, the world will panic if this happens stateside. Look at this. Picture after picture that won't download. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Look at this. Well, even we're off the ship now, it won't download. I know. I don't understand it. Yeah. Oh, here you go. 45 minutes after we wrap with the Bobby Bone show, I said, hey, where can I meet you? I'm kidding. I just made that up. Yeah, you texted me yet. 1008 get your up here that sounds about right and i replied at 1047 coach my stuff didn't end until
Starting point is 00:13:38 yeah oh 11 30 oh so you text to me at 1108 because this was on eastern time oh i see that's 8's different than three minutes what did what times you uh text baser see i didn't text her because i was saying i go come here real quick does your internet work excuse me. Did you get this? Excuse me. Is his event done? Excuse you. Please come back. I said please come back at 1022. So the time that fits the time. Exactly. That's more than three. All right. Whatever. Anyway. So then afterwards, I'm like, I got to get something to eat. And I go to the little cafe right there. Oh, it's closed. Like it was so crazy how nothing was open when I needed to be. open. Then Morgan's like, we got to do best bits. Oh my gosh. I just got done with bingo. I had a very
Starting point is 00:14:30 good strawberry dackery. Someone got me. You did best bits on the ship. You ended up doing it. Yeah. Oh my gosh. You're a little boozee. Dude, I mean, it was like I just wanted to relax, but Morgan wanted to do best bits. She thought it would be so much fun from the ship. And really, it was just the same thing. We just talked to. a little bit about the ship. No, I'm not saying ours wouldn't have been fun. No, no.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Our voices just weren't great. I'm not saying that we made a bad decision. I'm saying that doing best bits from the ship, I don't think it made it any different. Correct. Could have recorded that a week ahead of time. Yeah. Same thing.
Starting point is 00:15:13 So then I'm like, all right, I got to go to the, I got to go eat after this. And all right, no, I tried to get a sandwich. This is what happened. I'm going to tell you. I'd like a cold cut. No. There was a little cafe right there by the indoor pool, right?
Starting point is 00:15:28 If I heard you sold that and say that to the bellhop, I would have lost me. No, no, right there by the... Bellhop, I need a cold cut, a Sammy, something from the deli. There was this one little restaurant right there by the indoor pool. I know what it was, yeah. And I go up there and I try to get a sandwich. No way. And they said all that, it was just a turkey or ham sandwich.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I don't even know which one of it was bacon, avocado, and I don't want any of that mayonnaise on there. You can take that off. okay sir it'll be about a 30 minute wait what do you got to import it a 30 minute wait to throw some lunch meat on some bread with some bacon and avocado he goes yeah man I was like my name's been in I'm not in it okay I'm not I'm not doing it
Starting point is 00:16:11 so all right cool so we record best bits and let me tell you best bits takes an hour and a half okay coach I love the promotion of another show no I'm just going to tell you why right it's phenomenal Morgan, Mass, and Hul's been. So I'm going to go back down to that cafe now that I have time and get something to eat. Ah, we're closed. Yep.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Okay. Yep. Oh, my gosh. So then I have to go, because I have to go straight to the semi-finals of the Blackjack tournament that I'm hosting. Correct. So I go to the casino. I haven't eaten. I believe that's when I was following you with the camera.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I followed you and you came in and gave a guy there. You're right. You're right. You're right. and so then I come in and I host that for an hour. Again, me and Beezer tried to kind of get over there in the vicinity. Couldn't. It was five rows deep in every direction.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Dude, it was so exciting, so fun, people cheering. People that had no interest. They didn't even have a dog in the fight. And they were there to watch the Blackjack tournament just because it was so freaking fun. And we're still driving to Bimini. We're still driving to Bimini. Then I'm like, all right, this. is over. I've got to eat lunch. I got to go to the buffet. Go to the buffet. Close. I thought
Starting point is 00:17:33 the food was available all day. No. I thought food was always at our fingertips. All right. Do we want the audio of how drunk Morgan was at your event? No, this is a, this is, that's the last day. Oh. You're jumping ahead. You're jumping ahead. This was so frustrating. So what did they have? they had a couple pieces of pasta and a couple slices of pizza. I think you said that wrong, but continue. Why? You said a couple pieces of pasta? No, no, they really did.
Starting point is 00:18:04 A couple pieces of pasta. And it had to be tasteless. I mean, and it was the last of it, so you know that it's been sitting there for a long time. Thank you for the rubber. I mean, Alfredo. Oh, the buffet, it opens up in 45 minutes. Guys, I haven't eaten lunch. Where can I get lunch around here?
Starting point is 00:18:24 I'm glad you said this about the timing because Beazer thought I was crazy. The breakfast never opened at a set time. It was never 7, 738. I tell you almost every morning I would come. If you came too early, do you know what it looked like? What? They would put mother fucking saran wrap around every little counter in the buffet area, and you could only have access to tap water.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Oh, so I go, awesome, just what I came down here for, tap water. Like, open the buffet. That's exactly what it looked like at lunch. There was three or four times I almost broke through the saran wrap. I was so damn tired. Not only did they have the saran wrap. Oh. I'm glad you saw the saran wrap.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Bayser thought I was crazy. I was like, I'm not joking. There is a giant saran wrap thing around the counters. Hey, not only was their saran wrap. You know who they brought aboard? Who? Stanchion guy. There were mother freaking
Starting point is 00:19:27 Stanchins blocking you from even walking by them. They had him saran wrap and stanchined off. So you just could not even get close to them. Let's get these stangins out here. We don't need people eating at the buffet at a normal hour.
Starting point is 00:19:43 We got to get these stanchins out. So I just got a couple slices of pizza. And I sat by the window. And Morgan sat down and we sat and we watched. And we just sat there. She was like, we could always just stay until it opens. I'm like, I think that's what I'm going to have to do because I'm so freaking hungry.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And as we're sitting there, we look out the window and we see three dolphins. Oh, man. And I was like, oh, this is so worth it. I bet they have good meat. This is so worth it. Then we saw three sisters. They were playing some card game over in the corner. They came and said hello.
Starting point is 00:20:22 and I didn't realize so many people just sat in the buffet, like playing card games. There was a lot of people playing different games. I'm like, oh, so then the buffet finally opens. I eat. And I'm like, thank goodness. Then I go back to the room. Well, as you were eating, our friend told us there was a burger station apparently. That was an option.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Where? Pool. You had to go to the top floor. Never saw it. But she also said 25 minutes. And I said, that's 25 minutes I don't have. Yeah. I mean, this ship.
Starting point is 00:20:53 ship day is going really well for me as I have not I had to wait for a buffet go back to the room shower I don't even know why I showered again because I mean I didn't even get off the ship and then it was just party time oh yeah then it was time to go to the casino like the casino was open like it was time to make some money because nautical wise we were far enough away from the island that you could gamble yes and this is where I saw one of the great greatest gambling, um, feats I'd ever seen in my life. You got to take a break. And I'm going to tell you about it right after this.

And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of The Girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the Girlfriends.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Trust me, babe. on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Ego Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:25 and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way out. up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat, just
Starting point is 00:25:01 Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ray, a guy stuck the dice up is no, no, no, no, no, no. Even after learning my lesson that you never play roulette on a cruise ship because you hit a wave and it bounces out of Red 12, if you didn't listen to Wednesday's pod, you have no idea what I'm talking about. And I still started playing roulette.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And I started playing with this one chick, and she bets Red 21, just like I do. You're such a chick, though. I love that. But, dude, Roulette is such a chick game. Really? Why? Because it's the worst odds in the casino. It's just girls like doing it because it's easy.
Starting point is 00:25:49 You throw stuff on numbers. Continue. But it's fun. It's exciting to have that ball roll around and ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, and cheer. And this chick, she's betting two of the columns, just like you do. Oh. Two of the three. That's my strategy.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Yep. And she's betting some numbers. She's betting, you know, first 12, second 12, third 12. And she's just kind of, you know, plodding along, making some money. Turns out she works at a golf course here in Nashville. 50% of those people either worked or owned a golf course. Private one she works at. She's like, man, we got to get you guys out there.
Starting point is 00:26:22 What the? And I'm like, yeah, we do. Well, we don't play Munis. We play privates. Yes. She goes, what's the last course you played you name of Muni? She goes, where do you usually play? And I was like, you got to say Gaylord.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I said, Shelby? You got to go with Gaylord. Even though you don't play, I always just am like, Trubidor. I'll do that one or the governor's club. And she's like, we got to get you out to where I'm at. We're talking, talking. And then her chick would bring her a drink. And then her chick would disappear.
Starting point is 00:26:58 And then she spilled her strawberry dackery all over the table. Oh, at the carpet? Yes. Jeez. And she was like, oh, man, but she hit a number. She's excited. I wasn't hitting anything. And I'm just watching.
Starting point is 00:27:10 So then I just stand there and watch. And I'm watching, just cheering for her, cheering for the other people at the table. I'm there for like an hour and a half. And I'm finally like, all right, man. I think I'm going to call it a night. It's already like 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock maybe. And I walk over and Parmali got on the boat at Nassau. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And I go over to this one table and one of the guys from Parmali. from Parmally, guy with long, blonde, curly hair. I don't know his name. He's sitting at a table. Matt. No idea. Yeah, I do. Because the chick we were with, I got her to get a picture with him.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I was, like, hammered, and I acted like I had connections, but all I really did was go up to him and grab his shoulder and his PR person. Like, hey, and I was like, I'm with the Bobby Bone Show. Get a picture. What's the PR guy that looked like? It was a chick, I believe. Oh. Well, anyway. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:00 he's sitting at a table Ray mustache, cowboy boots And there's another dude sitting there And he's with Parmally But he's not in the band And he's like, what up, Ludge, what's going on? Oh my gosh, you know, he talked to me earlier in the day So he's talking to me again

Starting point is 00:28:32 About five times your money is about the max you can do. And so I'm like, all right, so I put the $25 down and I win. And I put the $50 down and I win. So now I'm at $120-something. I'm like, all right, here we go. You know what I mean? I start playing. So did you give him his loaner back?
Starting point is 00:28:53 I said he bought this bank. He goes, ah, man, I told you to build that into something. You can't build it if I take it back. You're right.

Starting point is 00:29:58 have to do with this story? The one guy with blonde hair with long hair is playing. Okay. And this guy that gave me the $25 is associated with Parmali. I don't know what he does for Parmali. Got it. Okay. And the crowd, I mean, is gathering, gathering. And it's starting to get momentum. The table's starting to get loud. Once people would start getting loud, yes, the crowd would grow so quickly, even faster than in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Yes. Yeah. And it was just like, all right. And then we start chanting, Terry, Terry, because that was our dealer. And some table across the way started thinking, it was a contest. Mary, Mary, Mary! They would start chanting her name. And we'd boo them.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Rivalry tables, dude. And so then I'm building it. And I'm at like 275. What the Rio de Janeiro Jesus statue? That's what I'm saying. It was all because of baby Jesus. Then this dude that is associated with Parmali comes walking up tall guy, don't know what he does, and he goes, see this $25 chip,
Starting point is 00:31:07 I'm going to turn it into $1,500. And there was an empty spot. He put it down, $25. Winner, winner. Takes that 25 stacks it on top, so he has 50. Winner. So now it's at 100. Then he puts the 100 out there.

Starting point is 00:33:42 like, I played with two people from Parmali. One was in the band. One was not, but they were together. This guy was like their manager or something. And he just came up and wanted to turn that 25 into 1,500, but he made it into two grand. Well, the girls we were with ended up talking. into somebody. The Parmally dude cleaned up. Matt.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Somebody said he won. Did you hear? No. Somebody said he won 10K. Huh? Yeah. So I didn't know. Was he playing with you a blackjack or he went at playing something else? I don't know. I got to look up who Matt from Parmali is. I'm going to look him up. We don't Google on the show. From Par... Wasn't Matt. I think my guy's name was Barry. Yeah. Barry's cool.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Barry. Barry was... I'm not sure he knows how to play Blackjack. Pretty easy concept Well Like the dealer would have a 8 Showing 18 And he'd have a 12 And Barry would double down Okay
Starting point is 00:34:40 And I'm not talking double down He'd throw a $100 double down Jeez But Barry was winning Well he was on that Dude he was winning All night All night

Starting point is 00:35:09 Yes. And I, if you look at my chips, I'm up to $5.25 off that $25 chip. All it takes is a brick. And I mean, this is where it gets at. A brick and some concrete confidence, Ray, sticking with your analogy. Then. Wait, you said this when it gets sad?
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah. These were the bad times. These, so baby Jesus guys, like, hey, man, we got to start bed and more. We're going to win. We're winning. We're winning. Terry. Terry.

Starting point is 00:37:53 Oh, that's funny. How puckered? Are you walking away from the table? I'm chafing a little bit. I'll see you guys tomorrow. See you guys in Bimini. Oh. I was like, guys.
Starting point is 00:38:11 That hurt. Oh, geez. And someone in the Parmali camp, kind of red hair guy, he had walked up and he said, when he got that first 21, he goes, hey, guys, table shifting, be careful. Great advice. But baby Jesus guy was telling me that we don't need to be careful. See, that's what I was trying to teach scuba at times. I was like, dude, sometimes the table shifts.
Starting point is 00:38:36 You just got to go with the shift. So you were fighting against the shift? Yeah, I guess so, man. What do you mean? It's shifting. And I should have walked away. Means people are losing, idiot. I wanted to...
Starting point is 00:38:53 It's not the guy that can place the money down. It's not the guy that can get a drink. It's not the guy that can laugh. It's not the guy that can win all the money. It's not the guy that can lose a little bit. you need that version of yourself where you literally just get up from the chair. It's the easiest motion.
Starting point is 00:39:09 We all have legs. None of us are handicapped. God bless you. Cappy. All you have to do, get out of your bar stool and walk back to your room. It is the toughest feat when it comes to gambling and all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:39:25 everybody's handicapped when it comes to gambling. Nobody can get up and walk on their two feet. And I'll hang up and listen. Cappy said we don't do enough for the handicap. Nobody can walk away. You know why you can't walk away? Because you always think you're going to just keep on winning. All you have to do is get on your two damn legs and walk to your room.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And here's the crazy. But why is it the hardest feet? It's like you're about to run a marathon. Bro, all you're doing is going to your damn room. Everybody should be able to do that. But here's the crazy part. I was already on my two feet. I never sat down.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I stood the whole time because he gave me 25. I thought I was going to be out real quick. Didn't even ask for a chair. Even easier. And I still. All you had to do was waddle a floor. And my feet were cemented there. For some reason, there's stick them on the bottom of my shoes and they won't move.
Starting point is 00:40:22 And you know what these were? These were the bad times. We'll take a break. We'll grab back.

My next guest, you know from stepbrothers anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
Starting point is 00:43:37 And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.
Starting point is 00:44:00 There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks dad on the Iheart radio app. Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Here's the deal. You're going to have to punt Benmini to another pod. It's been 40 minutes and we haven't even got to the island yet.
Starting point is 00:44:19 We're not even docked. We went to bed and we woke up and we're in Bimini. Benamy is probably so the beautiful most beautiful spot we stopped at. Benamy was amazing.
Starting point is 00:44:36 A little run down in parts. beautiful. Oh, but the beach. Right, but were we all chilled later on in the story foreshadowing? It was a little rundown. No, no, no. I agree with that. But we wake up, grab breakfast. Once again, I had my omelet. And there was no time to do the show. This was awesome. We did not have to do the big show. No, no, no. We were going straight to the Ben and Me Beach. Oh, no, not straight to the beach. me and bayser saved up our champagne bottle for the most perfect time ever we get a text scuba hey you guys don't have to do the big show this morning just chill we'll go to bimini at nine me and bayser up at seven so for those two hours we pop the champagne we listened to morgan wallin we listen to ella langley we listened to megan moroney and we had ourselves a day on the patio sun coming in looking at bimony For two hours, we polished off that champagne. And then we headed down to Jenna, and she's like, I'm right here beside you.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Oh, sorry, Jenna. A little groggy slash drunk. Hello. This is the meeting spot. We came into Jenna hot at 9 a.m. Yeah, I came in hot too, and we walk out and we get on a golf cart. And I'm like, do we really need a golf cart? Lo and behold, the beach was like two miles from where the ship docked.
Starting point is 00:46:00 and everybody's walking. I felt so bad. Celebs, golf carts, straight there, five, ten minutes. Everybody else, two-mile track to come hang out with our dumb. I'm like, what is going on? Like, they got to have better, they got to get closer to the beach than that. That's a long walk. Reverse the rolls.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Would we have walked that far? Probably not. I would have chilled on the boat or just went to a local shop. there right off the boat. I'm like, not only they had to walk there, then they have to turn around and walk back. Dude, and so we're doing... That's bananas. We're going golf carts through groups of
Starting point is 00:46:40 people elderly, 50, 60, seven years old. What up? What up? Just yelling at everybody. And I realized we were kind of rubbing it in. That hey, look at us. Morning! And we are trekking
Starting point is 00:46:54 to this private beach. I felt so guilty. And I love this private beach because I was told, You don't need any money. Don't worry about it. Everything's good. Oh, yeah, bad advice. Terrible advice.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Because you needed it for food and drinks. Yeah. I meant to say the people on our ship, like the girls that danced, did they not have assless chaps on and they were dancing there? They were. That was my point. I'm sorry on the money thing. Yeah, but I was so excited. I was like, oh, cool, this is great.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I couldn't even get a drink because I couldn't, I didn't have money. because I was told I don't need money. I didn't need money, so I left my money on the freaking ship. Yeah, I don't know which direction you're going on this one, but it was an unmitigated disaster. From me not getting a microphone, Morgan situation. So... Are we talking about Mario?
Starting point is 00:47:45 Well, we were on the golf cart, and that's when they look at us and said, hey, there's a relay race in two hours. We need you guys to plan it. Huh? Mind you, five mimoses deep. Huh? Mind you that we've been planning this trip.
Starting point is 00:47:58 it for like a year and no one thought saying, hey, we're going to have a relay race at the beach. Do you guys want to come up with something? Or they didn't come up with something on their own. They gave us, you know, a warning in the morning, hey, you need to come over with a relay race. Huh? What do you guys have? I don't know. You guys just make it up. I'm not a PE teacher. Okay, cool, man. That sounds like a great idea. Do you guys have people registered for the relay race? No, we just thought you just call it out on the microphone and they would come. So like what do we do? They just besides the stuff on the beach, what do we have them do?
Starting point is 00:48:30 I don't know. You guys can come up with it. Find some supplies on a desolate beach in Bimini. I don't have access to Dollar General. Cool. So then when we get there, we, oh, this is the airstream. This is where you can go hang out and be, you know, cool down, you know, because it's going to be really hot out here. Bayser, sorry, you're not allowed in it.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Whoa. Okay. No need to yell at Baser like that. But okay, hey, whatever, that's cool. I was whispered in my ear. You are allowed in it and lunchbox as well. And I'm like, all right, cool. And then they go over here.
Starting point is 00:49:03 This is where we're going to have the Cornhole tournament. We're going to have beer pong. But it's so windy. We're going to have Beach Beer Pong with these balls. The wind is, you throw it and the ball's hitting you in the face because the wind's so strong. It can't get to the trash cans. So I'm already like, we got to cancel that. And then Cornhole, who knew that the entire ship was going to want to sign up for Cornhole?
Starting point is 00:49:24 You guys seen March Madness, teams, we had it on the island with Cornhole. Absolutely had it on the island with Cornhole. What is this? Everybody, one shining moment, good gosh. We were out there four hours.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Cornhole took three and a half hours. I was ready to murder you. Guys, I don't know, eliminate half these teams and call it the NIT. What are we doing? Yeah, we should have probably had a pre-register and it should have been first come, first serve, 16 teams and boom, boom, boom,
Starting point is 00:49:55 get it done within an hour. That's what would have happened if I was being in direction. But we didn't. That's okay. And I'm like, oh, man, can I get a drink? Like, yeah, you just buy it right over there. And I'm like, you guys told me not to bring money. You told me that I didn't need to bring my money.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Oh, you did, $20 minimum. Okay, I'm not mad. I'm not annoyed. I'm not frustrated. This is going great. Did you bayser get you a drink or did a listener? No, no, no. She got me a pinia colotta because we both tap the glasses.
Starting point is 00:50:22 I'll post the pick. Yeah. No, I didn't get a drink the whole day on the beach. It's very awkward. And I'm like, all right, here we go. Microphone, boy. Then it's starting to start the tournament. And the microphone is not wireless, so we can't even go down to the beach.
Starting point is 00:50:43 And then the guy that's from the ship, he wants to hog the microphone and not give us the microphone. So then I have to get a freaking megaphone. Dude, you got a bullhorn, bro. and go down and yell at people from the bullhorn. It's like, hilarious. I'm like, I'm like, Bezor. Lunch and me couldn't get a wireless, so lunch is on the bullhorn. I'm just like chilling.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And they didn't even really have any responsibilities for me, which I was fine with. Which is great. But I'm just like, hey, yeah. And I mean, you can only commentate on cornhole for so long. Well, and it's also an emergency device. And when I was trying to explain to you, dude, directly in front of that bullhorn. That's my bad. We're talking 100 decibels, 120.
Starting point is 00:51:23 It was like the 12th man in Seattle. And I go, hey, lunch, just FY, anybody that's in front of you, you're blowing their eardrums. What do you mean? I'm like, you can't hear a bullhorn from behind, but in front, it's insanely loud. That's my bad. And you did that like three times in my ear. Oh, and you guys want to watch. Bro, what did I tell you, the bullhorn directly in front?
Starting point is 00:51:44 You blew out my ear drums. Again. Oh, lunch! All because they didn't have a wireless. That's my apology. It's not your fault. There was no wireless. My apologies.
Starting point is 00:51:55 And then we do the freaking tournament, tournament, tournament. We finally get to order lunch. Work was nice enough to provide us with lunch. And Morgan had showed up at the beach about an hour before this and was like hanging out, talking to people, taking pictures, commentating. And we all go to go in the trailer and she gets the, Morgan, you can't come in the trailer. Heisman. It was the second Heisman awarded of the trip. First one when Scoo was Steve Heisman.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah, and she's like, what do you mean? It's only for Ray and lunch. And Lee Bryce. And Lee Bryce. Like, she's on the big show with us. Like, how does that make any sense? It makes no sense. Well, then I got pulled to the side and they whispered in my ear,
Starting point is 00:52:35 hey, the trailer's just for you, lunch, and Lee Bryce. And I'm like, okay, I'll distance myself from Morgan. Like, what? Morgan texted me, where are you? New phone, who is? She goes, hey, are you in the trailer? What trailer? What trailer? Don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:52:49 She goes, hey, I can't get in the, physically get in the trailer with you guys? Can you bring me some scraps? Would you guys possibly have access to water? And I was like, yeah, I'll bring you a bottle of water as soon as I can when nobody's looking. Meet us around the back, though, by the dumpster so no one sees us. Dude, and I started feeling guilty because I had quesidae is you had ordered like a three-course meal and some Wayfair trailer, which was pretty crazy. I did. I ordered chips and salsa.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I ordered conch or not conch fritters. Man, I ordered key lime pie because they're supposed to be known for their key lime pie down there. So I had food guilt, and I was like, okay, I'll save one of cassidia for Beezer, which I gave to her. She was at the pool that were there all chilling and drinking. And I go, okay, I'll give Morgan this other chicken cassidia because she had no food. And they gave full on orders with us, lunch. It was dining. I mean, literally licking his fingers.
Starting point is 00:53:39 It was so amazing. And I go, Morgan, I got you food. And so she comes in. She's like, what did you get me? What did you get me? And I was like, a chicken cassidia. I saved you one that I was able to ration. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:53:49 she's like, I'm a vegetarian. So she had no food on the island, dude. It's like, work couldn't order her food. It's like, no, man, Morgan's not officially part of this event. We cannot order her a salad. Sorry, no go. Like, it got fixed. I texted scuba and I was like, hey, bro, real talk.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Morgan's not allowed to have water or food. And she's like, obviously works on the same show as us, symbol or celebrity. possible to get her some scraps. And so then we went in and we did a shot in the trailer. I think that's all she had to drink. That's all she had to drink. That's all she had to eat. It was a sad sight, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Then we had some downtime. I went in the ocean. You didn't say the Tito's bottle. Whoever is the staff, it was bouncing around in there. Titos was finished in about 45 minutes. Yeah, the whole bottle of Titos was gone. I mean, it was absolutely housed, finished, dried, like. I mean, that thing went quick.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Real quick. You better get a drink while it last, man, because it is going, going gone. So I went in the ocean and then, oh, we got to do the relay race. So we come up and we're like, relay race is canceled, which did not, the guy that we worked with was not happy about it. It was like, I'm so mad at you guys. I can't believe it. Whatever, dude. No one wants to do it. It doesn't matter. Then we tried to get everybody from the cruise ship in a picture. And this guy had built a sandcastle. It was like herding cats. And we started walking over there and I'm just trying to get in the picture. And he's yelling, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:55:26 I'm like, what? Dead ass. I'm like, no. No. What? All right. So I'm not, I'm just, I start keep walking. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:55:36 He thought I was trying to go near his little castle that said top shelf. That was all it said. He, and I understand he worked really hard on it. It was very impressive. I don't know how he did it to build a sandcastle like that. very good. But I wasn't going to touch his sandcastle. He's yelling at everybody.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And then the guy that wouldn't give Ray the mic... Yeah, he also... I didn't mention it earlier. So the mic was up there. It wasn't wireless. So it had to stay there. And he's an ounce in the bracket, doing other stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:03 But it was supposed to be... I get it was lunch and Lee Bryce. I get that. But they literally told me, hey, you're on the mic too. You're doing some stuff. So I... There was twice.
Starting point is 00:56:11 I tried to go for the mic. And this guy angled his body so I couldn't reach it. And so at that point, guys, when you're five of Moses's deep, I was like, I really don't even care to talk on the mic. But this guy's angling his body. He literally didn't want me talking on the mic.
Starting point is 00:56:24 And then somebody comes over and they go, hey, Sarah and Jane won. We're on Cornhole. Can you put it on the paper? And so everybody was writing down on the paper if they want or whatever. But apparently only that guy was the guy that was allowed to write. So he goes, no, you will not be writing that down. And so then I just joke around because I'm like, oh my gosh, this guy really is serious about his job. And so I go, oh, sorry, I wasn't going to write in 12.
Starting point is 00:56:48 font, Ariel. And he goes, I'm more about 10 point font. And I was like, oh, yeah, you are probably like six point font, huh? Real small, right? Like, screw you, you dead. That was the last thing I said to him. I had talked to him since Babini. And don't worry, we're all lined up and he comes and dives right in front of the sand castle. And that dude loses his lunch. No, no. No, no, no, no, get up, get up, get up. No. And he gets up, and then he starts smoothing out the sand in front. Like, oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I don't know. It's fine. We take a picture. Then it's time for Lee Bryce at the pool, guys. Commercial? No. And I go. Well, I wasn't allowed to go.
Starting point is 00:57:40 They told me, hey, you're going to get in a golf car. You can't. You and Beezer cannot go to this. We're on the time crunch. You guys have got to leave the island at 1.45. And Lee started at two. Okay, okay. So they hustled us into these golf carts.
Starting point is 00:57:54 And I wasn't even allowed to see one note from, Rumma has it. Well, what's weird is we had until 5 o'clock to be back on the boat. So you had three hours. That's why it made no sense, bro. You had over three hours to get back on the boat. Dude, we were with a couple friends, and they put a line in the sand and said,
Starting point is 00:58:14 okay, no, you guys are not coming. You guys are in a golf cart. What's the rush? We're on island time. Immediately in golf carts. and hustled to the boat. Yeah, and I'm like, all right, cool, man. I don't know why you guys are leaving.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Can we just, like, stay for an hour afterwards and just hang out, like, in the water? No, no, we got to go. We can watch maybe one song. I'm like, all right. So I'm going to introduce Lee Bryce. Lee Bryce comes out of the trailer. He's getting ready and I see his microphone up there in the front.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I don't see another microphone. So I'm walking up to it. And all of a sudden I hear, ladies and gentlemen, man are you guys ready and I'm like oh I didn't know the boat guy was going to introduce me okay he's like this next guy you know all he needs he has a guitar and I'm like I ain't got no guitar what are he talking about I don't have a guitar he is like and he's going to make you guys happy as he sings by the pool give it up for Lee Bryce and I just kind of throw my hands up look at Morgan I just jump in the pool like guess I'm not introducing him
Starting point is 00:59:21 dude. I mean, I just don't even understand. Like he was so fed up with us, I guess. He was so tired of us doing things that he was just taking over. And so I just kind of, all right, I'll just jump in the pool and I'll watch it from the pool. Yeah. And then the best part of the trip happened. And I'll tell you about it right after this.

Starting point is 01:01:29 We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day. And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
Starting point is 01:02:37 I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall, and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
Starting point is 01:03:01 It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Well, hold on. Hold your butt.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I did foreshadow 10 episodes ago on this cruise documentary we're doing. And the guy that won me, a bunch of money at craps that had a blast with, remember I said that had a story at the pool about him? Oh, yeah. He said he got absolutely slammered. The drunk as he's gotten on the trip, paid like $75, got buckets of beer, got buckets of dairies. He said him and his family were in the pool for Lee Bryce, and he said he was absolutely housed, yelling stuff, throwing stuff. He said it was by far the drunk as he got on the cruise recovering two days after that. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Yeah, he said he had a blast, but he's like, dude, when he goes, did not know me that pricey. So it's 75. I think he said between 5 and 700 is what he dropped in that pool. Oh, I dropped none because I didn't bring any money, so I couldn't even get one drink. So he's getting buckets. I couldn't get anything. And I did see his family was one of the first families on the beach. They were there early practicing their beer pong on the beach and the ball was.
Starting point is 01:04:22 How far did they make it? No, no, they were playing beer pong. And it was just like free play. I just saw them over there at the buckets and they were like, all right, this is dumb and then they headed to the pool. That must have been it. And then he's like, all right, I'm going to go body
Starting point is 01:04:33 a couple buckets of dairies. Yeah, so then I'm in the pool, you know, and our handler or whatever that we work with is like, look, text me, where are you? Where are you? And I'm like, I'm in the pool. I'm just in the pool.
Starting point is 01:04:44 And we got to go. We got to go right now. I'm like, why? Your cannonball wasn't scheduled. All these people are going to be headed back to the boat and it's going to take so long to get back on the boat. We have three hours. are we freaking out. We got to go right now. If not the golf cart's leaving you. Well, I'm not about
Starting point is 01:05:01 to walk by myself, two miles, whatever. And then I see pictures on Instagram of Scuba and Ray, and they're looking like they're at the, they're having the time of their life getting conch or cock or whatever the heck it was. What was it called? Definitely called conch. Conch. And I'm like, where the heck? So I start texting him, hey, where are you? We're at Smitty's. Smitty's bar. Coming to find you guys. I said, you're not going to have any without me. And I said, whoa, if you guys are getting that, I'm getting some.
Starting point is 01:05:35 If you guys are getting some bimicoc, I'm going to get some bimicoc. And so I asked the driver the gulf, hey, you know where Smitties is? No, no. Well, can you drive me off at Smitties? Nope. The other guy we work with, no, we're going straight back to the ship, straight back to the ship. And I've had it. I don't have any money.
Starting point is 01:05:53 I haven't had it. So I couldn't get a drink. Then I get big dogged on the introduction of Lee Bryce. I'm like, I'm done. I'm done. Just let me off the golf cart. Stop the golf cart. And I just get off in the middle of Benimini.
Starting point is 01:06:09 And I have no idea where I'm going. And I just start walking. Smart. In a place you have no idea where you're going. No idea where I'm going. What are you trying to prove in that moment? You thought it's a small island you'd be able to find us? No.
Starting point is 01:06:23 You were that mad. I was that annoyed. and it looked like you guys were having a blast and I was like I don't want to miss out on the blast I don't want to just go sit on the boat and be pissed and here's the best part
Starting point is 01:06:36 I don't have any damn money so if I don't find you guys I'm really screwed you came to the island penniless dude when you came around the corner at Smitties white dude longsleeve shirts
Starting point is 01:06:54 sunburr it looks like a lobster They're like, Ammon, is that your friend? Looks like a big, dumb American. Yep, he's one of us. I'm just walking down the side of the road in Benamini. And I am looking like an absolute idiot. And there's like diesel, big old Mac trucks flying by. Everybody on golf carts flying by all the locals.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Hey, Ma, you want to run a golf card, $50, 30 minutes. I'm like, I don't have any money. I have nothing. I have no means of anything. Crude oil must have went up a lot. It's pretty pretty present. And I'm just walking and there's like an abandoned like golf cart dirt yard. I'm like, I'm never finding this Smitty's place.
Starting point is 01:07:37 I'm going the wrong way. I'm going to turn around. Nope, I'm not going to turn around. I'm going to keep going. And after about a 15 minute walk, there is a sign that says smitties. It's the crappiest place. It's the smallest, crappiest, dingiest rundown shack. and they're selling fresh conk outside
Starting point is 01:07:55 and I walk around the corner and I see Scuba and Ray and the wives and I'm like, hey, and Marcus goes, hey, Maun, you guys know that white guy? And Scoob was a guy and he goes, why he's so stressed out, Maun? He looks stressed out, Mon. You walked up. They hadn't seen a stress person ever. They live on island time and you walked up like a stressed out New Yorker. They're like, who's this guy?
Starting point is 01:08:22 And I walk up and he's like, oh, man, he's got a plastic bag with a plastic jug in it. He's like, mom, go inside, tell him, get you a cup of ice. You have something about a rum bunch. Have something by the rum bunch. Here you go. Here's my guy, Marcus. We're locals. I'm doing our sponge bomb.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Lokes only. Dude. And I'm like, I'm not drinking in your rum punch. I don't know what's in that. I don't know if it's diesel fuel. I'm not, that's, that's a bad look. And then he starts making fun of Ray because Ray's drinking a cell-ser. That's a woman drink.
Starting point is 01:09:03 That's a woman drink, Mon. Why do you drink that for, Mon? I was like, do I get Island Respect drinking this? He's like, no, dude. Like, I'm sitting here drinking gas can punch. And then they're making food out there very, I mean, they definitely don't have a permit. They do not, there's no health code or anything. Bro, they're making it out on a wide open table in the middle.
Starting point is 01:09:26 of nothing. On plywood. Yes. And he goes and gets the conch straight out of the ocean, grabs it, comes with a hammer, just starts beating it, pulling this little like vertebra out. We eat that.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Throws it in a 40-gallon bucket. Throws it, yeah, and then they're just chopping it up right there. Blop, blop, blop, blop, blop, blop. Then they hand it to you to bowl. Oh, man, oh, ma'am. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. Man, you got to make sure you see them catch it, man.
Starting point is 01:09:55 That's how you know it's fresh. Well, we definitely saw him catch it. Well, we definitely saw him just go grab it right out of the ocean. That was pretty cool, man. The guy gives us the business pitches. We're leaving his friend. And he goes, hey, man, all these other places, they'll put in a freezer, put in a fridge for two days. He goes, it loses it, and it's not going to be 100% like this.
Starting point is 01:10:13 He goes, here we guarantee we're going to catch it. We're like, well, we did see Marcus, go catch it. Yeah, and he's like, ma'am, next time you guys come on, you tell me, I bring the electric bite to the ship. I bring electric bite. And you just go to the island. You just, next time, man, when you. God Bachman. And they were big Vijay Edgecombe fans because he's from
Starting point is 01:10:30 there. And I didn't know that our boy, Mark is, I didn't know he's homeless. And so I was like, because a cat was walking. I was like, oh, dude, Mark, it's at your house. Do you have cat? And he goes, yeah, got whatever comes around here. And I was like, what about dogs? You got any dogs? He goes, yeah, if a dog comes, I got a dog.
Starting point is 01:10:46 And I was like, do you got any iguanas? He goes, this is my backyard. There's thousands of iguanas that are all mine. So he just, like, lived there on the beach. Yeah. So he said if a cat wanders up his cat for the day. But Ray didn't catch that. I didn't get that he didn't have a home in that like shack area was where he lived.
Starting point is 01:11:04 And so whatever meandered that way, he would consider his pets. He goes, yeah, man, I got thousand iguanas, man. Look around. Yeah. And then, man, he was like, oh, my. And then they're ready for us to pay for the conch. And they're like $70. And Scoob is like, well, I only have 50.
Starting point is 01:11:24 I'm like, oh, Mon, oh, Mon, and you got to pay the driver, Mon, because they rented a golf cart. Poor American. I said, don't look at me, man. I ain't got no money. I was told I don't need money. So Scuba yells. I'm going to go get money at Caesar's Palace or whatever it's called. So the driver's like, Mon, there's an Aptium down there.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Your friends stay here. I drive you. I'm like, scuba, maybe don't yell that out loud. And then Scuba's like, I'm going to go get money. Scuba, we're about to get robbed. And killed. Scooba, we're in Benimini. You do not want to be yelling.
Starting point is 01:11:56 I'm going to get the money. Guys, guys, I'm going to Resorts World. I'm going to get that $200. Scoobie up. Get the 200 jelly beans. Stop saying dollars. And his wife, his wife is freaking out. Like, she's trying to act calm.
Starting point is 01:12:08 She's like, text him. She's like, no, he's fine. He's fine. It's fine. I'm like, they're not going to murder him and use his face as a mask for $200. Calm down. And then 10 minutes later, she's like, all right, text him, see if everything's okay. Did you text him?
Starting point is 01:12:23 Did he reply? Dude, I told you. I went inside. Is he okay? There was like five college frat daddies just hammered, eating food, said it was the best spot they'd been the entire week that they're there. We lucked out. We lucked out.
Starting point is 01:12:36 I mean, you guys lucked out. I lucked out that I walked down the road, found you. And then about 30 minutes later, scuba came rolling back on the golf cart, paid for it. We jumped on the cart. And our dude, Mark his mom, we'll see you later, ma'am. Well, at that same time, these girls, these big old girls. Yep. and he was yelling at him because he was kind of drunk, I think,
Starting point is 01:12:55 at that time, because Scoob had hooked him up with some stuff and some also, he had his own jungle juice, and he goes, you, big girls need loving too. I'm like, Marcus, I don't know as an employee in this restaurant, if you could just yell at the customers like that. He goes, come here, I want all that loving man. I was like, Marcus. Dude, you're drunk, Marcus.
Starting point is 01:13:15 He was just cat calling him. Yeah, and then they drove us back to the ship, man. And we got back on the ship, and we left Benham and me. We left Bumini. Yeah, we made the call time by three hours. Yeah, we were plenty of time, dude. We still had two hours. There was no line to get back on the ship.
Starting point is 01:13:32 It was very easy. Even though the people we work with were freaking out, oh my God, it's going to be impossible to get back on the ship. My Lord. That was a blast. We chilled for easily an hour to get that food, but it was fresh. It was fresh. It was so good.
Starting point is 01:13:47 And it was just good to be away from the stress, man. It was good to the stress ball that was our. work person, I was good to be away from it. It was good for me to go for a walk. If you truckers could have seen the dichotomy between lunchbox, stressed out New Yorker, looks like a lobster, sunburnt, so angry at life. And Marcus, on the beach, eating conch, drinking jungle juice. I mean, it was like, okay, this is America and this is how other countries live. We're idiots. Why be stressed? Less stress, more life. Yeah. It was just right there in a nutshell.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Marcus, look at you like you had three heads. Man, who is this guy? And why is he stressed, man? Dude, you had smoke coming out of your ears? I'm like, Marcus, Ma, do you understand? I was supposed to announce him. Who cares, Ma'an? No, no, Marcus, like, I was supposed to introduce Lee Bryce.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Who's Lee Bryce, ma'am? Who's Lee Bryce, ma'am? Who cares about Lee Bryce, man? We're on the island. You have your health, man. What are you worried about, man? Yeah, it was rough. We didn't finish the cruise, dude.
Starting point is 01:14:52 We just made it through Benamy. We'll have to do it another time. Yeah, we have to go, man. They can't listen to more than an hour of us. There's probably some scraps. We can do some housekeeping next time. Yeah, I mean, the next one is just really Morgan got hammered. That was it.
Starting point is 01:15:05 There's still some stuff, though. Yeah. And I forgot to tell you, on the third day is when I realized that I could get, like, I didn't have the same pack. Like, I saw Scuba at the bar. It was after I got the black card that night. The next day, I saw Scuba sitting at the bar with his, wife and I sit down. I'm like, can I get a water? And they gave me tap water. And he goes, well, why didn't you get a bottled water? I said, I'm not allowed. He goes, what do you mean?
Starting point is 01:15:28 You're not allowed? And I showed him my card and him and his wife fell off their chairs laughing at me. That was a bad memory, man. That was a bad memory. But you know what's fun was been to me. I love that place. I can't wait. Marcus, ma'am. We'll see you one year, man. Hopefully Marcus will be there any gear. I think we do just a little bit of tying up the loose ends next episode. Yeah, on Monday. And I mean, we're going to have a lot of stories on Monday because, dude, I'm taking a bus down to Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:15:56 It's going to be a good weekend. I mean, maybe there is anything left, but I mean, definitely Morgan yelling at me when she lost stuff. The airport. Was there anything there? Going back on the boat for another day. There has to be something. There has to be something.
Starting point is 01:16:08 We'll figure it out, man. I don't know. They may be tired of cruise talking now. We haven't talked sports. I mean, we haven't talked about all the trades. Who cares? All right. Say it again. Who cares?
