Did you watch episode three? I sure did. How'd you feel about it? I didn't hate it. I kind of liked it. That was a great episode. Yeah, it was a good episode, man. I don't have any issues with this season so far.

I think it's great. No issues? No. Actually? No, no issues. I think it's great. It is a great season. I think it's missing Rachel, fitness.

But besides that. Yeah, no, there's not enough cringe. They should bring her into every challenge and have her like do personal training. I agree. I agree. I agree. I think there's a couple people on the season that can use it.

I don't. Oh, no, you don't? You don't think that. They're all in tip, oh, they're in shapes for sure. They're in shapes, for sure.

Listen, man, you need to chill on body shaming people. Oh, I'm body shaming now? Kind of. I'm body shaming now? You kind of are right now. That was...

Listen, you can be an athlete at all shapes and sizes. 100%. I'm the biggest proof of that. Yeah, no, for sure. I'll yeah totally um 100% I just I don't think I body shamed Veronica did I absolutely now I said I thought she it was funny watching her run up because she looked like she hasn't run for a while that probably was her only preseason training yeah if there's something wrong with that humor then I apologize but Tina's been tweeting me ever since I see that I don't know if it's on purpose I think she just always hits reply all and I just get tagged in every single tweet now so I would love to hear her thoughts on it but I think Tina is just to super loyal. So like, I have no problems with Tina. I loved it. Yeah, I love, I, she called me champ. I'm on, I addressed that. So speaking of that, um, she did call you champ. Is she a champion?

I'm not sure. I don't think so, though. I don't, I don't think she's one one. Right. Tina. So Tina was like, called me champ. So all I said was, thanks for calling me champ. Did you say thanks, nonchamp? No. Because I, I actually weren't sure. Part of me was like maybe she won one in like the first 10 seasons, you know, maybe where they ran 20 years ago. Where they ran. Like Veronica. Yeah, they ran finals through marshals. Right, right. TJ Max, whoever can get to the top floor

for the first wins. Finals lasted two hours. Escalators, all that shit. Before we move forward, I do want to say we have it. We didn't announce it on the podcast, but go get your tickets

for the live show here in Detroit with Devin, Michelle, and the goat, Big Jordan wisely in the building. It's going to be a banger. March 30th. There's going to be a riot.

For sure. We're going to have some laughs. We're going to have some beers. You're not. but someone will have enough fears for both of you. I'm having no duels. I hope there's a couple of twisted teas there for Jordan. We need that energy.

We need this twisted tea energy. I can pretty much guarantee there's going to be twisted tea energy there. There better be. We're excited about that. Go get your tickets right now. VIP is selling out and then, you know, whatever's left. If you guys are at the first Detroit show, it's a very small. It's already selling out.

It's getting there. Yeah, it's getting there. Really? A couple of way. So, yeah, they better get on it. That's awesome. Yeah, better get on. Get your tickets to the live show now.

Because I'm going to be, I'm going to be doing a twisted tornado blowing alcohol onto an open flame as the final act. There you go. There you go. Like you mean to Dupree. Yeah. I'm like, you know, I'm going to embarrass myself however I can. So that'll be fun too. Hopefully the weather's nice enough for we can get a good force.

Yeah, for sure. Anyone that, yes, that's the number one. And for those of you asking if you could play around with us, unfortunately, that's just something we're going to have to do on our own. But we're going to do a few. We're going to do an outing at some point. Why don't we, why don't we do a, uh, why don't we do a, uh, a drawing? A drawing. People buy tickets.

Pull from the tickets. Like, and then we'll pick, uh, there'll be four of us. We pick four of them. To play with us? Yeah. We'll do a, we'll do a, we'll do a, uh, let's see how the, uh, let's see how the weather looks. Let's see how the weather looks. If the weather gets close, we could also.

Yeah, we could all, yeah. That's a good idea that we should do that. We're going to do so. We're going to be doing pods. We're going to have a lot going on, but we'll try. Oh, gosh. We have to work. We got to work.

We got to work. So good news for you. Obviously, you know those pods are coming. So that's a little teaser to stay locked in. Devin is on this season. He's, you know, playing pretty well so far. I mean, you just talked about people being so out of shape that it's bad. And then you're telling the guy won one of the most recent champions.

He should be doing pretty well. Probably. He should be dominating, especially because he has a partner who's in great shape, who runs a lot. Both, you know. Leroy... High functioning individuals. Well, Leroy does do a lot of cardio.

So, yeah, they should be doing great. There's no reason for them not to be. However, my favorite part of this episode was Steve's exquisite episode recap. Oh, yeah? At the beginning. I know, it was pretty detailed. It was awesome.

Yeah, it was really good. Ignorate these motherfuggers. Yeah. It was pretty good. The only person that would have done better is Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman. I mean, David Attenborough is pretty good at that type of thing. second favorite part of the episode the sloppy spritzers that Melissa mixed up you ladies are making some some spritsy and then she poured half the thing down her arm oh zealous

Melissa is awesome you know what actually probably happened big tea probably farted in the wind from the fart push the pitcher too far one way that is probably what happened I did want to uh you did talk about I did want to address some of this stuff so for those of you guys uh that are upset with the Veronica stuff I just want to read just a few of the comments towards me on some of these posts. Is it a disclaimer? No, it's not a disclaimer. It's just some things that people feel like they can say about me. I know Zach's co-host built like Santa's sack of toys ain't talking about telitubbies. Sir, call, calling from coming from inside of the house, misogynic, not misogynist piece of shits.

I thought that was fun. The Mucinex man, that one is funny. Especially since I'm wearing the green today. That one is hilarious. Is that for Michigan State or is that for St. Patty's Day? This is actually to rep the Eagles. I'm proud of their performance. I'm a chiefs.

supporter, but I was, I liked what they did. They showed, they showed some grit. They smoked them. Yeah, they killed them. Anyways, we can, okay, blah, blah, blah, we got some other stuff. So. I liked when someone called you a beanbag. Yeah, that was funny.

Somebody said I was melting into the chair. All those things are accurate. Here's the problem. I will never get mad at someone saying their truth. If your truth is that I look like a beanbag, that's fine. If for somebody, and Cruz to Veronica, actually, she never commented. She didn't seem to have any issue with it. It seemed like everybody was just, you know, backing her up.

I also feel like there's this like OG stance that if someone talks shit about you, you responding and rebuttling gives it attention. And I don't think she wanted to give us the attention. Listen, I was just saying, how funny is it like they're announcing somebody. It's supposed to be like this intimidating, whatever. And it's Veronica galloping through the Thai fields. Yeah, I'm not going to say any names, but I did speak to a challenger. you know, that was probably around, you know, maybe during one of Veronica's wins.

They didn't have an issue with what I said. They thought it was funny. So I don't know what she or he thought. But yeah, so some people like it. Some people don't. Comedy is not for everyone. That's right. That's right.

I also feel like in general, the world has gone soft. You saw I posted something like that where Tom is it was saying that. But talk about the softness of America right now or the world in general. I mean, listen, here's the thing. I got a lot of negative things said about me online. I don't care. It doesn't bother me. Because that's other people's opinion of me.

And if I dictate my feelings off of someone else's opinion, then my opinion of myself must not be very good. I was just laughing because there's just things that are funny in life. And if you don't laugh, then you're saying no to God's best medicine. That's right. And so if you can't laugh at the fact that Veronica looked like she was going to, trip and fall and roll into the next season

when she was running into the scene, then you don't have a sense of humor. Now, if you're tweeting gorillas at African-American people, now I have, like, I can understand why people would be upset about that. Yeah. And then there was the Kara situation that happened. There's a lot happening right now. I do appreciate.
