Shout out to Elmo Draft House. Yeah, Elmo Draft House. They were the best. They actually were

I do wish we had a slowmo of the hugs. The big Fettuccini was given out in Texas. Gosh, bro. These guys, I don't know what you guys are thinking. Fucking inside joke between YouTube. I give a good hug. How can you never hug us like that? Well, I mean, we're not supposed to talk about that on the air, broke back. Only other guys.

Sick, sick, man. But what did you think about the first installment? For the record, I've never kissed the man on TV. But, you know. I have. But only the most beautiful gay man to ever grace the challenge. All right. Anyways, yeah, I have.

So we got back from Austin. I also have four children with a beautiful. woman. Yeah, she's definitely not a man. Yeah. Even it was that you're a cup and tea, but it's not. Not mine either. Anyways, I don't take back that kiss between me and Frank either.

Who do you think you enjoyed it more, me or Frank? Oh, for sure you. Because you're like, here's this. Okay, actually, I'm glad he brought this up. Because to this day, especially with the most recent post that we had where Jeremy's talking about Will and people are like, Will's crazy, he's insane and Zach's a bigot and this and that. Can we just-

I'm telling you, I've seen this shit in the comments. And it's, like, it's hilarious to hear those types of comments because we have had the most inclusive podcast, probably in the history of podcasts. We've had, I don't know. I don't know if I would say that. Watch triple digit. I mean, the amount of, I wouldn't say that. I think so. I mean, you know, anyone that's wanted to come on, we've had on from any walk of life, any orientation, any color, any whatever.

We are the most inclusive podcast, I believe, for sure in. We've invited a lot of people. bro come on it's literally the dumbest fucking thing i've ever heard anywho so we get back from austin where we go to yeremy the champion of season 41's hometown first question about the austin recap thoughts on yeremy i want to you know his size his attitude his demeanor what do you think of the guy i think he's uh he's a positive guy man yeah he's a good vibe uh he's much don't take this the wrong way he's shorter and smaller than i had expected i wouldn't put like He's not like a small guy by any means, but I definitely, he, first thing he said to me was like, whoa, you're so big.

And I'm like, yeah, I am. Yeah. But I will say probably the funniest part of the entire thing was when my partner here got on the microphone and told Jeremy that Jordan would beat him. Yeah, literally the audience, like you could hear a cricket fart in there because like, listen, there's a lot of things you can do. but this is his, like, championship. Like, we're in a theater. In his hometown, all his family and friends are there. This idiot gets on the mic.

He's like, who things would win? Jordan or Yermy? And everyone's like, yeah, me, because it's all his friends' family. He's like, I don't think so. George's got you. I'm like, what an idiot. Also, there are several curbs in Austin and one bridge that are, they went to the ER the next day. Brother.

First of all, Austin survived, and so did we. The most impressive thing about you is that you've broken two bridges this year. But I didn't break the second bridge, okay? But the best part about it was, well, let's recap. I readjusted it. There was a curb another curb and then there was like a dip

and they had these like, I forget what they're called, but like a tall grass looking plants and Pierre saw the bridge but decided to go through the grass, tripped, didn't fall, stayed up. Thank you. Didn't fall, stay up. Thank you. Hilarious. The best part was Johnny Bananas was there, so he'll never live that

down. And everyone's like, Why would you just take the bridge? And I was like, oh, trust me. He doesn't want to take no bridge. He doesn't want to take the bridge. And then he tried to take the bridge. And that thing, it was fortified steel, snapped in half. No, that's a fucking lie.

It just shifted. And did it fall? The Alamo Dome had to call a welder to fix it. That's, that's, that's blasphemy. Anyways, I'm expecting a bill shortly for that. Okay. All right. Well, it's not true.

It is funny, though, that my challenge reputation. Is that you break bridges and you're a shitty driver? I mean, I get people. People there in one piece, I'm alive, I'm healthy, I'm ready to go for the next event. Oh, yeah, because everybody was worried about it. So they are worried about it. The people love me. But the best part is the first bridge he broke was at a golf course with Devin and Jordan.

That really happened. And then in front of Johnny Aviv, Justin, just snapped a steel bridge. So no bridges are safe. You better never go to the UP because that's a pretty big bridge. Wouldn't it have been to the UP would hate several times. One snap. So just so you guys, I'll just tell you my personal opinion on Jeremy, his size, his stature. I mean, you see it in the reunion, episode one, him and Olivia back to back.

He's no, he's not six foot. He's five, maybe, but no taller than six foot, five, eleven, six foot. I would give him six foot. He's right there with the cowboy boots on for sure. Yeah, yeah. He's, I would say, I hate to compare him to Jordan, but he is like that type of size, you know. I think Jordan's a little, little beefier, but yeah, just about that type of size. So how big do you think?

turbo is. I think he's probably what, 59, 510, probably a little bit shorter. 510, 170. Yeah, I looked it up today. Yeah, just about. Yeah, just about. I looked it up today while I was watching the radio.

Yeah. Demeanor, though, I think, like, one thing that I'm super excited about and I really want to see here me back because I do think that when you have that championship, that, um, that respect or that walk around with a little bit of swag, like he'll have a little bit of that. He doesn't have to play as low key. Um, or maybe he will. Maybe he'll do the back door deals. I don't know how you play, uh, like, you guys got to remember.

If you give someone a, let's just say, the last team they beat in Connect 4, Michaela and Cedric, you give some, they had just a 10-minute lead on them. That means that Sydney and Turbo had well, way more than a 10-minute lead. To not only make that up, but then beat them is an incredible feat. So the guy is a freak athlete, as is Olivia, because she was right there with him, For sure. The craziest part about the whole thing is...
