We're in the pod. In the pod. We're in the studio doing the pod. We're in the pod doing the studio. Yes. I am one of the three hosts. Forrest Galante, bro-a-ologist, got the bro-ducer, brofessor. We are lined up.

If you've never heard the pod before, just tune out. Now, stop listening. Don't need new listeners. Don't say that. Don't see that. Peter hates when I say that. How we doing, boys? How's it going?

How's your week? great man fucking you know look the Knicks won the NBA championship that was a big deal first time in 53 years I'm from New York not a huge NBA fan

but real fun have you seen the scenes in New York City from that night oh it's chaotic like two million people just partying in the streets together to go straight into being a Debbie Downer

did you see the policeman that shot the lady's dog who was celebrating I did not Kyle look this up it's it's let's not no we're going to

we're going to we're going to start the pot off Yeah, we're going to go straight into negativity so people tune out immediately. We don't have to watch a video. Oh, look, so there's this adorable Labradoodle that was hanging out in an apartment, and this lady was partying so hard and celebrating so hard.

She's from New York. This is in L.A., by the way. New York. That a bunch of LAPD kicked down the door and shot her two-year-old Labradoodle. Why? Because they thought it was attacking, and it was a Labradoodle that was coming over to give her kisses.

Swear to God. Scroll down, by the way. That my dog would get shot for that. Your dog would actually attack, though. I don't think so. She would just be all up in their shit, like, you know, smashing their genitals. And accidentally. This dog literally just came over to, like, give them kisses because it was excited because they were celebrating.

My dog is a thylacine. My dog's a thylacine with a mohawk. And if he came up to a cop, definitely the cop wouldn't do anything except for punt him across the room. We won't go deeper into that story, but there's a horrific video of this lady like holding her dog. You do not want to see it. No. No, we won't do it on the pod. It's too awful.

But there's this lady like holding her dog crying. Be like, I can't believe you shot Charlie. It's like insane. There's just like eight LAPDs like standing around being like, oops. Can you imagine the emotional swing? You know, you're celebrating. You're like on cloud nine to like literal hell. It's crazy.

I mean, it'd be awful. Do you can your dog dying is like one of the worst things, especially if you don't have kids. There's so much more for the LAPD to do and deal with than a lady celebrating. NYPD? No, LAPD. This was in Los Angeles. Oh, really? Holy shit.

My barber, the guy who gives me my spice haircuts. Yeah. He uses a floby. He does. He just vacuums it. So last time, you know, a couple weeks ago got my haircut. And he was like, Friday. He's like, I was picking up pizza.

You know, because it's pizza night. I was like, yeah, I like where this is going. Yeah, you do. And he's like, and, you know, I guess it's my fault because I was walking out of the pizza place. texting my daughter and just out of nowhere this guy just comes up and just blindsides him just blasts him in the temple no way yeah barber yeah over what the pizza it was a crazy crazy guy oh no i gave him a floby here no it was a crazy person and uh he i guess was standing

next to the guys he was kind of walking out and the guy's tent was sort of near the door and uh so he he was like he said he was like pretty disorient and he like looked around and there was a bunch of bystanders and like they were all just staring and like no one was like, are you okay? Insane. But he was like, I almost went down.

I was pretty disoriented. He's like, so then I went and got my car and I just watched the guy and he just was like hanging out by his tent. And he's like, so I called, I pulled into a gas station across street

called the cops. Yeah. The LAPD. Yeah. Waited for an hour. Yeah, of course. Sounds about right. No one showed up.

At all. Dude, I've told you about the two experience I've had with LAPD. The one time somebody was, was Rob, burglarizing cars in my in my parking garage and I caught him and I was hammered so I confronted him and I I scooted his ass out of there well first I called the cops and then I was like and then like

they weren't coming and he was just in their stealing shit with a giant backpack like this big like thinking he wasn't being being suspicious and so I scooted him out of there and then I I go to bed and they they call me at like 4.30 this is like four and a half hour. hours later. They call me. They're like, hey, we're here. Can you come down? I'm like, okay. So I go down. Literally, the first thing she says is, it's been a busy night. Don't lose your faith in the LAPD. I remember that. And then the other time, some asshole, I was on my motorcycle, he literally fucking, I was parked. And getting off my motorcycle, he literally slowly back. And, you know, motorcycle horns like, so like nobody can fucking hear him. and it was off so I couldn't rev really loud like I would have normally anyways he backs up slowly

and just slowly runs into the front tire and cuts the fucking break the brakes no longer work the front one which are the important ones that actually stop you quickly and I he lived right there and I go up to his house and I'm like knocking on the fucking door just the smuggest

piece of shit like like fuck off like so I call it cops or I try to call literally just busy can't get anybody. I try for like an hour, can't get a hold of anybody. I called 911 finally. They're like, you have to call the non-emergency. And then I just

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a fucking nightmare. You can't get a hold. You know what's crazy though? And then we'll get into some news here. But if your barber had got clocked and fought and hurt the guy, your barber would have been the one to go to jail. Zero. Zero

question. Like somebody else, a bystander would have called and reported and said there's a guy accosting a homeless person or whatever. Right. And even though he was attacked and would have fought back, the person to actually be in trouble was your barber. Yeah, of course.

Without question. How fucked up is that? That that's like societally how we live now. It's also just, it's regional, right? So there we have lots of friends and listeners that are in Florida and Texas and other places. Yeah, they're like, I'd just shoot them. They're just laughing at us.

And I'd be fine about it. Arizona. They don't have homeless people. It's too hot. Fucking wild west. Too hot. Oh, yeah. Hey, Kyle, I got a little question for you.

Yes. What's in the news? What's in the news? Lots of good stuff in the news today. Yeah. Let's put him on blast. It's legit distracting. What's the matter with you, Kyle?

What's wrong with him? Well, we don't know. That's the problem. Is something going on? Pat just leaned over. He's like, what is going on with Kyle's horrible energy? I was like, I don't know. He's just being a real piece of shit.

He's a beacon of joy. Let's put him on blast. I disagree. You know what I think the issue is? What? I opened his window. Do you see? It's letting light in.

Oh, yeah. His vampirical ways are being destroyed by the UV rays coming through the window. Yeah. That's not correct. You were just in an RV with him for five days jerking off repeatedly. Did we talk about that? The RV was pretty sweet. We did a pod, a bonus pod from the RV.

How did the trip end up? Very successful. We had a great time. By the way, a little pro tip. I know we just did what's in the news. We're going to can that and do another story. A little pro tip. Okay.

I hate to admit this, but I'm going to. I've always bashed RV people. Like, you're so fucking stupid. You're pretending to go camping. You just buy this nice, like, house on wheels, and then you just drive into a parking lot with other people and a house on wheels. RVs are awesome. Yeah.

Let me explain it to you. So, okay. So we went to this very remote area in Nevada, Oregon, to both sides of the border, right? The options were fly into Medford, Oregon, rent a car, drive, set up a camp, break down a camp, move, set up a camp, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, that's option one. Option two was drive from Santa Barbara 16 hours, set up camps, breakdown camps, blah, blah, blah. Option three was use outdoorsy, which is this website.

Fly into Medford, Oregon. There's a guy waiting there as you exit the airport with the keys to the RV and a full tank of gas goes, hey, have fun. literally hands you the RV. It took one one hundredth of the time as it does to get a rental car and Uber. Which, by the way, is one of the greatest mysteries of life why getting a rental car takes six hours. It's unbelievable. I'd rather go to the DMV and the dentist than pick up a rental car.

It would be much faster. It's much faster. Anyway, this guy just hands you the keys. And he was like, you know, he was like a normal dude. And he was like, hey, I hear you guys are taking it off road. Be careful. And we're like, yeah, no problem. And that was it.

he just left. Like, we, we interacted with him for 45 seconds. Yeah. And he was, he's like, you know how to use it? I was like,

yeah, more or less, I have a boat, same thing. He's like, great. And he bailed. And then we were just on the road.

Now, granted, had we gone to like a fucking K-OA or something where you're just in a concrete parking lot with other people. Yeah. And a community pool would have been awful. Community pool.

Yeah. But this was like, we went to these beautiful camps in the middle of nowhere, hours and hours down dirt roads, like incredible Oregon scenery, Clameth Falls, that kind of thing. Yeah.

So it was amazing because we rocked up and we were the last ones to get into camp and they were still like setting up tents and putting out tables and shit. And it was literally like pull in. Okay, we're ready. That was it. Like we were just parked. We had a fridge full of cold beer. We had steaks to go on the grill and that was it. And I think had we been camping in a shitty place, it would have been different.

But then the next day it was like day one was went long. Like we finished up at like 830 at night. And it was like, okay, we want to be at the site by 7 a.m. tomorrow. It's a three-hour drive. And they're like, okay, well, it's going to take us two hours to pack up camp. Then we got to get there. Then we got to build camp before we start. And I was cool, we're going to start the car. And dude, the RVs great. You sleep well. We had a heater because it was freezing. It was like in the low 40s at night. Oh, yeah. Dude, you'd have to be all bundled up and being full clothes and a sleeping bag. And we still, I'm sounding like such an old person.

But we still, you know, we still went out and grilled and like cook steaks on the barbecue and fished and did all the fun stuff, you just go into a nice car. You sleep inside. Yeah. It cuts out probably like five hours of work per day. Okay. It's a few at least. Okay.

Now listen, this is a real good. I really wanted to do this on the pod and I'm glad you brought up the RV because I would have totally forgotten about it. We're coming back to if you're still, if you're still tuned in, we're coming back to what's in the news. Okay. I pose this to Kyle and Tommy in the RV. This is a question for you guys.

It's our first game of the pod. You ready for a new game? Kyle, give me a gamely jingle. Oh yeah. Gameley. Good gamely. Okay. We're all lovely middle-aged men at this point in our lives.

Yes, we are. As a middle-aged man, you are now in this game required to join a group. Now, this group is one of those groups that you immediately have baked in friends. Now, let me explain. It has to be a multi-day thing that you do, but you're doing this with a random group of people. For instance, you decide to. join the local RV group. And once a year, you with your RV and 25 other complete strangers, all RV to three or

four campsites and then come home. Yeah. Yeah. I remember seeing that in movies when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. It's like something our dads did. Yeah.

You like join the group. Now, let me pose this to you. Keep in mind, you have nothing in common with these random strangers except the thing you're joining the group about. Right. So it's like if the RV people, you know you're going to rock up and fucking Jim Bob's going be like, man, I got the 8300 water heater on this RV. And he's going to want to talk about that water heater for 45 minutes.

And so you're stuck with this group of people for an extended period of time. It can be whatever you like based on the group. So this is not like, oh, I joined a bar hopping group and I go once a week and we go to a different bar. Yeah. It's not that. Yeah. This is a group that you're joining to be stuck with these people to socialize about

this otherwise very stupid and boring thing for an extended period of time. What group are you picking? Okay. I'm trying to think what even made you think about this. Well, because I don't know. Kyle, why? Because we had nothing to talk about. Because you wanted to join an RV.

No, no, no, no. I really didn't want to join an RV group. But that's why you thought about it because you were in the RV. I was in the RV and I was, oh, no, I remember. Remember, we were in one RV and we were following the nicer one, the same exact model as ours, but we got stuck behind it. Yes. And I was like, imagine being in an RV group.

And that guy's like, man, back there, what was our RV model name? He's like, man, that wouldn't be. go views. It's a 1986. That one's not a good year. You know, and he's talking about his. Mine's a 993 man. That's judging. Comparing. Okay. It's a tough question because it's like you could do something where it's like a physical challenge, right? You could do something where it's like, yeah, well, not doing that. Did one by the time. Just joined a CrossFit gym at that point. But like you could do something like that or very outdoors related. I got one. I got one. Yeah, I know mine. Okay, go. Can I make mine up or does that?

it have to be an existing group? If you make it up, it exists. Okay. People are that weird. Exactly. That's true. You've manifested it. Well, I was going to say motorcycle, but I did do that.

And since I wasn't into motorcycles, but I liked riding them, it was very annoying, like, trying to be involved in conversations about people talking about the fucking motorcycle. So what Forrest said is true. It's like there was a lot of talk just about the bikes. Well, it was that. And then people getting hammered and hopping on their bike. and driving like in canyons and I'm like I don't want to do that either think about it yeah you're meeting up with this random group of other middle-aged strangers yeah you don't have anything else to talk about this your whole personality is wrapped up in certainly that's what it was like I'm confirming that is what it was like we so Kyle's was and you say you have yours but I'm going to paint you context and I'll Kyle's was a scuba diving group that was Tommy's was a scuba diving group and he was saying so once a month Tommy's 22 he doesn't understand this this dynamic yet. He's saying once a month he jumps on a boat with a bunch of random strangers and goes out for a two-day trip. And I was trying to explain to him, dude, that guy's going to be sitting there going, man, the new Aqualong regulator with the breathe compressor. Oh, you've got to feel the smooth. Oh, dude. Blow my brains out. There's a dude on Instagram that just spoofs how, and this is going to offend so many people in the audience. I love it. But just spoof's like super hardcore climbing.

nerds. Peter, so many of my best wildlife encounters have happened from a vehicle, whether you're creeping through the desert with the windows down or pulling over on a back road because you saw something move in the headlights. The vehicle isn't just transportation. It's off in base camp. So when outdoorsy came on board made total sense to me. They're the world's largest RV rental marketplace spanning over 4,800 cities across North America with more than 10 million travel days already booked. The thing I really love is how flexible my options. are. I recently booked a trip with Outdoorsy, and when I landed at the airport and the RV host was just waiting for me ready to hand off the keys, it was awesome. Yeah, and even if you're

not flying and just want to hit the road right from home, there's no need for airports, layovers, or check bags. You can just book a local RV and drive where you want. And because outdoorsy has built in insurance with Romley, it cuts out the middleman and passes the savings to you. On average, it's 15% cheaper than the competition. Whether you're chasing wildlife through the desert, fishing and stretch a river you've never seen, or just getting. somewhere genuinely wild and RV changes how deep you can go. Head to outdoorsy.com and use code wild times 10 for 10% off your RV rental. Go find something good. Oh, look at us. We got a Hollywood movie star here, indoor sunglasses guy. What's that all about? Yeah, I wear my sunglasses all the

time, man, not just at night, not just when I'm out running. Those are your gooders that you love so much. They're running ones, right? They are the best running sunglasses. You know how I shredded multiple pairs of very expensive sunglasses because I gave you a $200 pair that you killed in a day. Yeah. These are affordable and Gooder sent us some. You know, I like to run quite a bit. They don't bounce at all.

I mean, obviously they look super freaking cool also. Bold colors. Good theme. Also, I love when I wear them, they're glare reducing that polarized lenses, which I always need when I'm out on the water with UV 400 protection, which is

you know, saves your year. Dude, oh, there we go. Dude, you're pretty good. I'm telling you. This is pretty cool. Some spice grains. RDJ in the house. No, I mean, if you live an active lifestyle, these sunglasses, these gooder sunglasses are for you.

where I hit it for my wife. And it was the best one of the day. Okay. But I quit. Yeah. I miss it. For months now. Yeah.

I miss it. You know, because it was like, for me, it was like having a cup of coffee. Yeah. I'm off nicotine, which I'm really happy about

because that's, you know, bad for your blood pressure and all this stuff. So I'm like, okay, it's time to quit. I love these ultra pouches.

There's no nicotine in these, no caffeine in these. I know they're a new sponsor. I have not. tried them. I feel like you should. Well, if there are no nicotine, I gladly will. This is this your favorite flavor? I like, I like them all. Um, Peters over there popping a watermelon. Oh, dude, it smells like bubble. Smells really nice. It smells delicious. Here's a thing, too, I'm very jet lag currently, so I need a little pick me up. I've had a coffee, but that's, that's,

focus boost. That's not the edge that I'm looking for. That's right. Caffeine made me jittery, made me anxious. So nicotine, obviously, it's known to, you know, produce anxiety. Um, I really like these ultra pouches. They get me through the day. Yeah, I get a little, yeah, very nice. Really? They last for a long time, super tasty. Quite frankly, I used these to quit nicotine.

Yep. These have altheonine, vitamin B6 and B12. All plant-based. Alpha GPC. Yeah. Infinity PX, which is a cleaner, smoother, energy booster than caffeine. Never heard of that.

I will say, I get everything that I need out of these. I don't do caffeine or nicotine anymore. I love them if you want to try them.

Oh, I think I know the guy you're talking about it's like, hey, my name's Rockwall. Yeah, exactly. You know that guy, Cal? Oh, I sent you one where he's tasting cheeses. Dude, it's so good. It's so good. But it's just like, yeah, he's like, I was over at the Frigandy Mountain the other day. Did the, you know, the flippin' tut.

Yeah. He was like, dude, it was crazy, but I got my V hook stuck in a shrunk. Yeah. He's so good. Grab some jugs. He did one that's like every time you go to tide pooling with your biologist friend or something like that. It's so good. Kyle, do you know what we're talking about?

I do. I literally don't know how to find the person. Try find the time. Tide pooling one. It's tremendous. What is, Kyle, so what was yours? Tommy's was diving. I said like a gun club or an archery club or something like that. Okay. But you have to go on the trip because that's where you're locked in with this group of

strangers and you have to be passionate enough about the thing that that's what you can spend most of your time talking about. Well, the thing is, like you have to pick something that you can't do by yourself because if you can do by yourself, you just go do it. Right. With your friend group. With your friends. Exactly. Tommy could go diving by

himself. That's what, that was my argument to him. I was like, that's a terrible pick, you 22-year-old. All right, so what's yours? What was mine? Yeah. I couldn't really figure one out. But I will, as we play the game right now, I will figure one out. What's yours for tap?

All right, well, this is, you guys are deaf going to make fun of me for this, but I would go hang out with. Okay, so it's already just drinking at a bar. No, no, it's definitely not. I mean, I've been doing that for 40 years. Well, not quite. But anyways, I, I, you guys are really going to rip on me for this. Come on, let's go. I would go hang out with a bunch of people who,

who had near-death experiences. So support group. Yeah. Isn't that called therapy? No. What do you mean? Where are you guys hanging out that you're on a trip? I am.

Going to visit? No, they have conventions. Got it, got it. So you're in Vegas. Sure, yeah, Vegas. Everyone talks about their near-death experience. I guess you guys could go on a trip where you visit the site of each person's experience. No, no.

You're misunderstanding. We all get together and try to kill each other. No, come on, come on. You got to do something like, come on. That's terrible. That's stupid. Oh, well, mine might be worse because I could do this by myself, but then it would suck. Okay, what is it?

All right. So there's, okay, so there's a thing like for Eagles fans, this isn't my pick. There's a thing called Green Legion, which is just like a group of Eagles fans that travels to away games together. That's good. Like they plan meetups. That's what I'm talking about. So I'm taking inspiration, because I, living on the West Coast, I go to, like, Eagles games on the West Coast. and they always come out like the big one where 30,000 come.

Right. Yeah. They come to Scottsdale or L.A. or whatever. So I've been to a lot of these events. It's fun. There's a camaraderie. That makes sense. I'm going to go.

You have a passion to talk about the football. Can talk about it for days and weeks. Yep. Okay. I'm going to do a thing, which I've tried to organize with a group of friends a few times. I asked chat GPT to help organize it. It didn't work. I want to do a thing where I fly to a city,

meet up with a bunch of nerds that are just as big a fucking losers as me. Yeah, that's the whole point of this. And then we road trip and hit a different Major League Baseball Stadium every day for like two weeks. There you go. That's good. Baseball all we're going to talk about is baseball, comparing the hot dogs and the nachos, doing the challenges. Some people might, yeah, some people might enjoy an ice cream helmet. Yeah, baby.

And then there's going to be like half of us that are just essentially just getting drunk at every game. Yeah. but that's what we're going to do that is that is more than tolerable for you like you'll probably get along well with that group yes like I would hate the RV group to be clear got it so I'm trying to find one so I think I've come up

with one because you asked what mine would be I can't remember what mine was Kyle and I both said a paintball group would be fun but that problem with that is you get together for like two hours then you go home by the way people that are really into paintball love to talk about their weapons yeah yeah like they'll be like dude I just soup this up with a new fucking nitrous tri canister Dude, got a Tipman 98 custom built out with the nitrous try.

Dude, filled a couple of my paintballs with jizz, dude. I'm going to shoot my ex-girlfriend in the fucking head. Kyle, I hit you on WhatsApp. I found the guy, by the way. Okay, mine is a white water rafting group. Okay. Because I love white water rafting. Sure.

You can, like, white water raft to a spot and then fish and hang out. I feel like I learn a lot from white water rafting because I don't really know much about it. You camp. You camp. You get together twice a year with a white water rafting group. I feel like I don't. have to have other people. Do you know what I mean? Like the type of people that sign up for the white water rafting built in friend group are probably cool enough that I could get along with

them regardless of whether we're talking about the fucking latest paddle or not. Do you know what I mean? The thing that these groups as well too is it's like oftentimes people join them because they want to start to get into them and they don't know anyone else that's interested in doing them. Yes, that's a good call. Yeah. And so like if you've never been white water rafting before but you want to get into it, you would join a group. And then you find the two coolest guys and then you form your own three. That's right. Yeah, you have to have your subgroup.

Got it. Peter, did you changing yours from therapy to something cool? It's not therapy. And also, I just want to say, I just listened to an interview of a guy who had a near-death experience. You know what he was doing? No. Waywater rafting.

Oh, really? You have a good opportunity to have one yourself. And then we can discuss. You can come to my group and we can discuss. Kyle, pull up the guy. He's so funny. This guy. I mean, is this about you?

Are you seeing how littered these rocks are with aqua forest pluster fuels? Oh, start over. Start over. Start over. Start over. Okay, so first of all, his name's Matt Lyons. He's fucking hilarious. And this is me every time I go to the beach.

Ask Kyle. I've made Kyle film me tide pooling multiple times. How you doing? Names Copepod. Are you seeing how littered these rocks are with aquiferous plustercules? Theuter fish populations feed on their endoskeleton. They'll walk into the inner. surge bond every lunar flow cycle.

Because it's an El Guapo year, these alveolar pools don't have the same levels of biorecognizance as they normally do. You could actually see it in the lack of pelaginoid along the saline slope. He's just, this is all nonsense. It's such an illustration of what you were just talking about. 100%.

A lot of people confuse them with the abysso-flatchelis, but they don't have the white stripes on their third night. No, not one minute. But what's funny is Kyle, hit the comments real quick. Like I, I, because this was the first one of his I saw and look at the second comment there. Shockingly nearly every, Forrest says shockingly nearly every single statement. This is 100% accurate. White stripes are typically on the second dorsal though. Nice. And I think people actually believe that.

Yeah. I mean, National Geographic commented on it and just said the accuracy. I just, the thing that makes me laugh about this dude is that that is how Native Californians speak. Yes, 100%. Like the accent he's doing where he's like the bioflagellus. Like that is how they talk. Yep. This is true. Interestingly.

If you're from Laguna Beach, that is your accent. A thousand percent. Interestingly, he's got the SoCal accent, but he looks like he's from Portland. I think he is from, I think he's from Maine. Okay. Yeah. The cheese one's great where he's like, he's playing the guy who's way too into the charcutory.

Dude, he's so funny. He's really funny. He's great. Can you find that one, Kyle? Let's see if we got it. I looked for where you sent it. it to me, but I couldn't find it. But he's great, dude. Matt La, I'd have that guy on the

pod just to riff. Oh, maybe, come on. Reach out, Cahel. See, but come on. Is this the one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Good to see it. My name's Tillamook. You're in for a real treat with this cheese I just picked up. It's a 36-year curd butter bumhole beaten schlober. Sort of an Eastern European twist on the farmhouse cheddar.

Speaking of, actually, one of my favorite cheeses, hand-sharpened by 16 women in flannels under a covered bridge and Brattlebroker Vermont, the six-month wood stank shirt. The next one's better. It's actually the official cheese of Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential roll. The other one that I absolutely love is this oxen milk Talamanka, Rhodesia. Actually comes from a third-generation charcuture at a Garfendorf. Super approachable, tender. Pairs really well actually with a camomile mocha chai. Now this guy is overall pretty bonifle and funk positive when it comes to mouthfeel from a tiny tiny village up in the peruvian mountains called Bridgeport. Very, very ripe and rich. You can almost taste the udders of the

cow. Some people say it smells like a dead bird. I put it up for guests anytime they come over. The next one is unique in that the cheese makers live in the field and their cattle actually occupy the primary bedroom. That's one. Dude, he's so good. He's so good. These people are annoying, but like, why? Why is this annoying? Anyone who knows too much about something and then just rattles it off. Yeah, and you double down and double down. It's like, it's cool. It's cool to know a lot about something and be like, hey, this is an interesting fact. And you're like, wow, that was interesting. But then when you do that four more times, like double down and double down, you're like, God, shut the fuck up, dude. Like, I don't

care about your cheese at all. Dude, you don't know what I mean? Well, it's like, it would be the equivalent of like, if you just went up to someone at the zoo that was looking at a snake enclosure. Yeah. And then just rattled off 30 straight minutes of snake talk. Exactly. Yeah. You'd be like, that guy kind of sucks. Yeah, 100% which would be a great job for me

by the way. Yeah, sure. There's a certain way to have a conversation to get in a conversation and it doesn't entail monopolizing the entire fucking side of the conversation

about one topic. That's what he does is he capitalizes on like there's no interaction. Nobody's asking him a question so he just goes. You know what I mean? Yeah.

It's really funny. Dude, just real quick aside then we've got some very exciting news. Yeah. Dude, I forgot to tell you this is so goddamn funny. I was at a concert this weekend. I was in San Diego.

My wife wanted to like meet up with her friends because she's from there. And so there was a concert happening. She was like, can we just go to this thing at 6 o'clock? We can bring the kids. I was like, sure, fine. It was a nostalgia act, an R&B singer named Genuine. Oh, Pony, right? Yeah, that's his big hit.

God, we got to get that on the pot. So, dude. So we go, the fucking concerts at SeaWorld. Okay, wow. Yeah. Wow. It's literally on this pirate stage. This is the number one sex song, by the way.

Oh, yeah. It's going to having sex. Yeah. Wow. But that playing at SeaWorld, that's mind-blowing. So we get there, you go to this little amphitheater where you're sitting on the bay and there's a little pirate stage separated by about, I don't know, 50 yards of water. Uh-huh.

And so then you're sitting there looking, there's water. there's seagulls everywhere Kyle pulled it up here and then he's on this little pirate stage So this is when he came over to where the seats are Gotcha But so he's on the pirate stage And he's doing his thing, whatever And he's like probably 60 now

Yeah You know it's just silly whatever And he's like, ah he's like So that's the gap between the audience Okay yep And the stage, yep And so he's like yeah He's like who wants a free t-shirt

Like who wants a who wants a t-shirt And everyone's like ah sure Yeah And so he pulls out the t-shirt Yes. Literally, pulls out the t-shirt cannon, goes,

poof, shoots it, within five feet of where he shoots it from, it just unfurls and just sadly falls into the water. No. Yeah.

And now there's just a t-shirt floating in the water. No way, that's hilarious. And then he kind of just goes, uh, shoot. And then,

like, was like, who wants to hear a pony for the third time? Kyle, play pony by genuine for long enough that we don't get canceled.

I can't do it. What? It's so good. We'll play it on the next bonus pod. It'll be our outro. Real quick, aside to your side, Kyle, look up a T-shirt canon because I had a great idea for this. Okay. Okay.

Patrick, you are welcome to steal this. Anybody else listening, you are not, especially if you're one of my rivals on Shark Week. T-shirt canon. Okay. Chum Cannon. Oh, yeah. Pack that bitch full of rotten fish, little dice up fish. Just chum cannon?

Absolutely. You literally could just use the T-shirt can. You don't have to modify it. That's what I'm saying. You just put, like, a bitch up a fish up. a plug at the back end, like a piece of cardboard or something that's biodegradable. Yeah. Fill that full of mushed up fish and you just chum cannon it.

I've never found a reason to do it on a Shark Week show, but there must be one. You're pretty creative. I don't think there's any use case, but I think that they're, you know, we didn't think there was a use case for a meat tree. This is true. But if I like, okay, so look at this exact frame. Pause for one second, Kyle. Just imagine that's me with the T-shirt Canon.

The T-shirt Canon is filled with Rotten Fish. And that's Mitch where the ballistic dummy is. Oh, well, that's fantastic. Can you imagine? You just came up with the idea. I mean, that's it. It's just like, there's no, there's nothing you can't do with chum with your hands that you can do with a t-shirt cannon,

but I want to do that. You know, that's just, you can just make that one 30-second clip in the Shark Week. You just shoot Mitch with a chum and it's funny. You put it away. Just shoot him with a chum cannon and then you push him off the boat. That was that. Yeah, next thing.

Yeah, what's the reason that you would need to get chum really far away from the boat. So it's not scaring the sharks and fish and things. And you also want it to make a spray. Do you know what I mean? So there is a very good reason to do this. If you freeze it, if you freeze it into a cylindrical like t-shirt shape, it's just going to shoot it out like a log.

Sure. I think you want to go which is hard to do with your hands. Like you'd have to like, booboo, boo-bo, boo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo. So instead you're just like just shoot it straight up. Also, if you and the crew of the boat and the crew, like if there's like eight of you right along one of the sides of the boat. Yeah. And it's just like

Oh, yeah. See, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. And you just see it firing one, two, three, four. You could kind of have a drone, like, low angle underneath you. I have fairly certain this will. This will happen now. I mean, just do it for your YouTube.

I might. In which case, I'm going to shoot Colin the dick with a chum can. Oh, boy. It's already surprised. The cheapest t-shirt can in there was 675. Most expensive was $2,300. Oh, you picked that up quick. Yeah.

All right, let's do some news. Yeah, Kyle. What's in the news? I got a story. Oh, a news story? A news story? I know you were dog-legging us before we got into the news again intentionally. I'm not doing...

Okay, so I just think this is cool because it's one of my favorite animals. In Kazakhstan. I heard of it. Okay. They are doing a large release of tiger, wild tigers being reintroduced into the wild in the southern Balkash region along the Ile River. So tigers used to live there as part of their. historic range. Over the last 10 years,

they've set up a 3 million acre protected area to be ready for this. And over the last decade, rebuilt the prey population needed to support the tigers. And yeah, so they released 119

wild asses. Protected the wild boar population, a couple different species of deer. And let's see. How many tigers are they going to release? there's over there's what is this an ammer tiger is that what it's called amyre tiger yeah okay yeah that's very cool amyer leopards only 750 left in the wild and they'll be reintroduced into one of their natural habitats doesn't say how many though it's really really cool and what's cool most

importantly i think this is something that goes unrealized by the masses which is that if you're going to reintroduce an apex predator you have to set up the Let me start that over. If you're going to reintroduce an Apex predator, the ecosystem has to be supportive of that. Any of these keystone predators that sit at the top of a food chain have to have an entire intact food web below them. You can easily reintroduce a rabbit anywhere and it'll do just fine. It's like, oh, eats vegetables, you know, digs a hole in the dirt, makes more rabbits. Done.

You put a tiger in. If it doesn't have a whole, I'm just going to simplify this deer population that is reproducing readily so that the deer are making an enough babies that they can continue to support the tiger so that the tiger can pick off the sick ones and pick off the babies. If you don't build this entire ecosystem. Four almost tigers have been released into the well. If you don't, if you don't build this entire food chain, the tiger population just collapses completely. Right. It takes, when you're reintroducing apex predators, it takes so much like environmental understanding and food web knowledge before you can bring an apex predator back into a system. You can't just dump them out there,

be like, oh, they'll be fine. Yeah. And it sounds like, like Kazakhstan has done a phenomenal job of actually like figuring all this out and doing it in a step by step process before just bringing the tigers in, which many countries haven't. Dude, a decade long project. Yeah, that's awesome. I feel like that for like whatever Kazakh, you know, biologists like got the job being in charge of that. Yeah.

Where they're like, not one, like not only is this cool, but it's 10 years of work. Yeah. Like what a fucking dream job. Yeah. But it's crazy. say that because, like, you know, it's so precarious, right? Oh, yeah. Like, if you're going to go in and fuck with how the deer are being treated.

Yep. That has potential to fuck up the plants. Exactly. Right? And then suddenly now it can't the, there's not enough plants to support the deer. Yep. The trickle down effect is crazy. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a very delicate process. Very delicate. And how many tigers can an ecosystem support? Because like rabbits, back to that example, you can be like, well, that ecosystem can support one rabbit. 10 rabbits, 100 rabbits, 1,000 rabbits, it'll be fine. And that's probably true. Because who cares if the ecosystem can't support 1,000 rabbits and you only have 100 rabbits?

Who cares? Nobody. Nobody. But guess what happens if you go, oh, that ecosystem could support 100 tigers, Amir tigers, of which there's only 750. And guess what? It can only support 500. You've just lost a third of the population.

Right. Because you thought it was fine and you dumped the tigers in and the ecosystem collapsed and it only supported a fraction of them. You know what I mean? It's like, yeah. Imagine if you're someone who like, that's like your area that you like to go hike. And like you just don't, don't read the news. Yeah.

You're an anti-news guy. You've been hiking it for 25 years. All of a sudden there's tigers everywhere. Walking around and you're like, is that a fucking day? Stalking me? Like, deep shit here. That's really cool. Good for you, Kazakhstan.

Does Kazakhstan? I think Kazakhstan, are they, uh... That's a big-ass tiger. Is that tiger like bigger than a normal tiger? No, it's a juvenile and adult next to each other. Yeah, but that... Oh, so that's just like a regular-ass tiger. Oh, the ones that are found...

So the Amrime... Aemir tiger is also known as the Siberian tiger. That's what I always call it growing up. It's a lot girthier, a lot bigger, it looks like. Well, that's a big fat one. I think it's a fat so. But the point is, uh, they're trying to recreate Caspian tigers, right? Is that right, Kyle?

Yes. Yeah, correct. Yeah. So that's the point. Which are extinct. And we're in home in that region. But like many things, trying to think how to explain this. The Caspian tiger was just a regional tiger, if that makes sense.

So it wasn't necessarily, it was its own subspecies, but it was regionally speciated. So if you put these tigers back after 100 years, 200 years, whatever, probably much longer, that is now a Caspian tiger. Does that make sense? Like it fills the same niche. It will eventually occupy that same place, probably stay geographically. I say it long enough to become its own thing. Does that make sense? Yeah.

It does. Yeah. Yeah, it's a regional. That distinction between, like, regional subspecies, which have almost no, like, morphological difference. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Go ahead.

There is one apex predator that is very adaptable like the rabbit. Kyle, can you pull up from the news feed that we have in WhatsApp, the one that I posted? Well, he looks for that. I feel like Kazakhstan is... That's the one. Because they're the ones that reintroduce the Prowalski's horse or whatever. I feel like they're trying to get into the like eco-tourism game. They seem like they're really up and coming in the wildlife space.

Is there any cool? What's like the best wildlife adventure in Kazakhstan? Like can you go do a sick trip? It's just not a place. You hear about Kazakhstan a lot because there's a lot of like MMA fighters. Yes. I don't know. I've never thought like should I go to Kazakhstan and like have a wildlife.

I know there's incredible incredible scenery in Kazakhstan like that. Yeah. Looks beautiful. The Saiga, yeah, that makes sense. Oh, yeah. The Saiga antelope. That's on my bucket list to go and see. What's that, what's that cat top left?

Is that a snow leopard? So they got snow leopards there. What's that cute ass wolf top right? That's the fox, the Tabitian Fox. Oh, yeah. Look at that thing. It's so funny. So cute.

Look at him with his squinchy eyes. So smug. Yeah, he's so smug. Yeah. Do we need to go to Kazakhstan? Dude, I would in a heartbeat. It looks beautiful. Just type in Kazakhstan like scenery, Kyle.

Yeah, look at it. It's incredible looking. Oh, yeah. Look at that. A beautiful mirror lake with the mountains. Yeah, it looks like Oregon. But it looks really, really beautiful. So is Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan's not, it's part of the previous USSR, right? Yes. Okay. It's split. It's right next to Uzbekistan in that region. Yeah. Does it touch Mongolia? I think it does.

It looks very Mongolia like. It's Beckistan. Kazakhstan's massive. Wow. Kazakhstan's huge. It's a big place. Yeah, Kyle, does it touch Mongolia? It does, right? Right in the corner there. Yeah. And maybe not technically, but it's just right next to it. Yeah.

Oh, cool. Geography lesson from me. Let's go. Well, dude, I mean, you know. He's like, that's the world. Yeah, it's round. Oh, my goodness. I mean, it's just interesting because I guarantee you could go have a sick trip to Kazakhstan for like, well, not that expense. Oh, 100%. There's a guy I follow on Instagram. I don't know. I won't be able to find it quickly, but he just goes to these places you'd never think of going. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Syria, like places that you'd just be like, who goes there? Right. Like you only hear like negative shit. Yeah, 100%. And it's just not on anybody's real tourist radar. Right. Mostly Middle Eastern and Asian places, I would say. But he just goes these random like South, South Sudan, stuff like that. And just shows like scenery and people and stuff. And I'm like, oh my God. Like this guy, he's much younger than us. But like he is living the life. Like he's just going on these really cool adventures, teaming up with people eating local food. Yeah. Seeing these amazing. amazing things. Also, like, also spreading the word that, like, even these places, like, oh, this war,

is all the shit going on, but, like, showing the beautiful parts of the world aside from all the shit you hear on the news about them, which is a good mission. It is. What was your thing that I hijacked? All right. All right. All right. You guys see this right here?

So there's a woman. She just kicked that mountain line? So there's a cougar attacking her goats, right? There's also a cougar attacking the cougar. Right. So, look. Oh, yeah, that's true. So here, the cougar comes in, gets to go.

This is why I'm saying, Apex Predators is a small one. Very adaptable, but he's going to get that fucking go. Yeah, he's got it by the neck. That goat's toes. That's a tenacious ass cougar right there. Yeah. This, uh...

Where was this, Peter? I'm actually not sure. Canada. Oh, Canada. She comes in, Whoa, boom! Gives that thing a boot. High out of it.

Also, if the volume's on, she's like, Get out of here! Dude's the thing. Let's see that boot again. Yeah, it's a good boot. So she comes in. That's balzy. Boom.

It worked. I mean, it totally worked. By the way, she's kicked a cougar before. Yeah. She comes in, there's not even a second goes by

in which she diagnoses the situation, sees where the cougar is, and then plants her toe into the softest part of its belly. Kicks it right in the spot. Like, it's high level experience. High level experience. By the way, the cougar,

the cougar's reaction. Which cougar are we talking about? Yeah. The one wearing jorts or furry cougars reaction is. Still, It's unclear. There's a literal pause of confusion. Look.

It's like, whoa. It's like, what the fuck? What the fuck is this? Dude, that lady delivers a brutal soccer kick. Probably broke her toe.

Yeah. Yeah. Right into its soft underbelly. It's a nice, it's a nice swiped. Perfectly placed. Dude, is that a fucking chupacabra?

That's straight up a goat sucker than what that cougar is doing. That is a goat sucker. Remember we saw like the goats that had been hit by the, yeah, the chup? Yep. The chup. Yep, the chupers.

And it was just the two fang holes right in the neck. That's literally what that juvenile cougars doing. Dude, I'm glad you differentiated the juvenile one. Yeah. You know how like, it's like a thing now that influencers are fighting each other. Do you know what I'm talking about? You see all these influencers like boxing each other? Have you been challenged?

Not yet. Somebody challenged for us. We actually, Kyle and I had a conversation about this. And I was like, absolutely not. He's like, do you guys know the real Tarzan is? He did our pod. Kyle was like, what if the real Tarzan offered to fight you? I was like, are you kidding?

Dude, he would kick your ass. That's not a great idea. No. He's like, what if he offered you half a million dollars? I was like, okay, yes, for half a million dollars, I'd let him beat the shit out of me. Well, in a ring with a ref, sure. Yeah. Look at that guy.

He would destroy you. Oh my God. Kyle wants me to fight. This guy trains in M.M.A., by the way. He does. He posts videos of boxing and stuff. Kyle wants me to fight this guy on the internet. Well, Kyle's being weird. Why don't you fight Coyote Peterson?

That I could live with. That seems like a fair fight. Real quick. Okay, so let's play along here. Okay. Kyle, Peter, and... Okay, everyone think of what you're setting the lines as if you're the bookie. And you have to take up to $10,000 worth of bets. Okay.

So you better set this line pretty accurately. And what's the fight? You versus Real Tarzan. Oh, my God. It's three, five-minute rounds, standard. cage fight with a ref. Okay. Are there any caveats to the bet?

Are there side bets? Stay standing. We don't need to do the fancy bets. It's just win loss. Let's keep it simple. My brain's not big. I'm going to go real Tarzan minus 800.

Wow. That's what I'm going. Well, the fact that he trains. Yeah. He's also like 6.3 as well too. He's a big point. Forrest is pretty tenacious and plays rugby and he doesn't give up easily.

I think that's a lot of spirit. I think Forrest will buy. This one's unfair, but quite dirty. Well, no, no, it's a MMA. So you can't. Real Tarzan minus 10,000 if it's real MMA. Are you kidding me? Yeah.

I do have the Rudy factor, though. I have the Rudy factor. I won't give up. He'll kill me. Well, that doesn't mean he's not going to choke. See, here's the problem. He's just going to get you on the ground. Yeah, he's going to kill me, dude.

Yeah, destroy him. All right. He's playing with his dog there, but there's real videos of him, like, actually fighting and stuff. All right. Let's go coyote Peter. I'm actually going to go forest minus 150. I'd go higher, wouldn't you?

What? Yeah. Okay, thank you. I would say forest minus, like, I would do like minus like 1,200. Thank you. No, I go forest plus 50. Oh, get out of here. I think coyote would bite your fucking nose off.

I don't know, coyote. Is he huge? No, he's not big. He's smaller than I am. I'm pretty sure. I would say minus 12. But he gets bit by a lot of fucking things. He can take the pain tolerance.

He can take the pain. That's for sure. Yeah, I got him. Unless he's like loki black belt and jujitsu or something. He might be. You never know. Coyote or if you want to weigh in, please comment. All right.

Last one. Last one. Forrest. Forrest versus Steve Irwin. Forrest versus Chris Gillette. Oh, God. I'd probably go. That's a, that's a pickum.

No. I'm going Chris Gillette minus two. I think Forrest is just bulldog in there and just put his head down and start swings. I would do that. I would do that. That's why I'm not making it crazy. Yeah. But Chris is so much bigger. And by the way, I'm guessing a lot of the like just craziness that you have, he also has.

Maybe, but Chris is very calm and gentle. He's one of those big gorilla calm people. Do you know what I mean? That's what it seems like. You'd be surprised. Sometimes those big super muscular guys are like the softest, sweetest guys. like even physically. Like teddy bears.

I'll tell you, this true little anecdote and this very massively dogleg from where I was going with the YouTube with the Instagram fighter thing. But no, I don't care. I have these guys like still trying to keep up and play rugby that I do that show up. And they're the guys who look like Tarzan or Chris. They're 6'5. They got muscles to days. Yeah.

And they played high school sports and everything. You're like, this guy's going to be a fucking beast. Yeah. And then they come out there and they're like timid and soft. And they've been so big and muscular their whole lives that no. Nobody's ever pushed them around. Yeah. And then you get guys that show up that are five foot eight and built like the Michelin Man.

And you're like, Jesus Christ, dude, don't put me in a ring with that guy. And they're the most unassuming looking guys you've ever seen. Yeah. But it's like a mental and physical connect where they're just, they know how to use their body in a way that, that even though they look like a fucking pudgy guy who's selling insurance. I swear to God, you're like, that guy's a fucking beast. There's a guy named Rubin on our rugby team. Yeah. I swear to God, Ruben is probably five foot.

four, five foot five, probably weighs about 240 pounds. He's like a small chubby Mexican dude. He is a, I would fight anybody on my team over Ruben. He is a fucking savage dude. He gets in there. He's like a little bulldog. It's like, do you know, Fafta Clerk is? No, I know, Kyle, just quickly type in Fafta Clerk Giant Slayer. He's a little guy. He's one of my favorite rugby players, this guy. And I mean, granted, he doesn't look like a little chubby guy, but type in a giant slayer and go to the videos quickly. This guy is... Yeah, he's tiny compared to the guys he's on the field with. Go to the video. Go to this. Yeah, he's on the field with all these guys that are huge.

Yeah. And he's literally like the quarterback. He's the scrum half. And you'll just see if he just takes on these like monster guys. Look, oh, that's nothing. Oh, but yeah, he gave him a nice stiff arm. He'll see him. He takes on like not when he's on offense, but when he's on defense. He'll take on guys that are six eight and he's like five seven. Yeah. And just floors them. And this is the same kind of thing. Like this little tenacious fucker. I'd take on the big guys I'd take on Tarzan before I fought Fafta Clark That's for sure Like he's a loon

Well I mean smaller guys are a lot faster Well unless they're Well have you guys remember butterball Like the I remember Butterbean Butterbean yeah Well you're a butterball But he was Butterbean

That's what I said Yeah he was a lot tougher But my point to go all the way back Yeah Butterbean was in monster Influen was fighting Was just I think we take the cougar That kicked the cougar

And then we find like the duck lady Remember the lady who was trying to save the ducks at Arrowhead? And all these people that have these one-hit wonders, the guy who fought the kangaroo, remember the guy that runs in when the kangaroo's taking his dog? Oh, yeah. And then we fight that. I don't punch my dog, my. I think we fight those guys instead of big famous influencers.

That's a great idea. It's smart, yeah. No, the duck lady versus the cougar kicker. I really like that. That's a real, that's a real fight. I got a game that's very timely. Okay. And I think we should do it.

Let's do it. I mean, the last month or so, I feel like everyone's just been talking. talking about World Cup. That's it. In America, it's, you know, it's been a lot of fun. There were games here in L.A. The finals are coming up in like a week. Yeah.

So I was thinking about it, right? Because in American sports, every team has a mascot. Of course. The Philadelphia Eagles. That's funny. I went Eagles in my head the second you said that. It's because I talked about it earlier. Ah, a little sublime.

But we're going to do a game here. I think the World Cup would, be even more popular if I think they need mascots. Yeah. It's just a country's name. Algeria versus, you know, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Yeah. Yeah.

Like I wanted to be like, you know, the Algerian fighting giants or whatever. Let's go. So let's go through. We don't have to do them all here. But I'm going to throw out a country. Okay. We're going to do the one, two, three game. Oh, we haven't played this in a minute.

You could name it after an animal that it's known for in that country. Yep. You could name it, you know, Peter. could name it after a conspiracy theory that takes place there. Yeah. Maybe use alliteration. The Algerian UFO Greenman. The Algerian alligators.

And then we're going to go one, two, three. And don't say the country name. Just yell out the mascot. Okay. Okay. Or the animal. This is good. Are you hosting this?

I'm going to host, but I'm also going to play. Lovely. All right. We're going to start with a nice and easy one. Okay. We're going to go with Argentina. Ah. Okay.

Yeah. Argentina. They're good every year or every World Cup. They're a competitor. They have the cool powder blue flag and uniforms. Ready? Yeah. Yep.

One, two, three. Mained wolves. Chirascariz. You can't just yell cocaine. The Argentinian cocaine. Trascarians. You cannot just yell the word cocaine for a country mascot. That's a mascot.

The Argentinian cocaine. Okay. Are they no for cocaine? I don't even know what to say to that. What? What's that one? That sounds so racist. Skiers.

I know. where you're going with your head, but you can't call a team. I'm sure they do. Why? That's like a Daniel Tosh skit. What's what I mean? I don't know, but something about it sounds really bad. What is you got a sloped face? The main wolves.

Oh, yeah. The Argentina mained wolves. Those are those cool tall ones. The rugby teams, the Pumas, Argentinian Pumas. Los Pumas. What are those, what are the Cowboys guys guys? Gauchos. Yeah, Gauchos. I went with Chorascarians. What's that?

Okay. The Cabo Verdes. Oh, God, okay. Is that an island off Africa? Where's Cabo Verde? It is. Okay. It's owned by Spain.

No, it's not owned by Spain. Where's Calvo... Look it up, Kyle. Calbo Verde, I think it was a Spanish colony. Former... Is it say? Island nation of about 600,000 people in the Atlantic Ocean. Former Portuguese colony.

400 miles off the west coast of Senegal. Yeah. Good thing they made the world. It's an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands. No, no, it looks beautiful, by the way. I'd like to go to Cabo Verde. Yeah, me too. Okay. Yep. Okay.

Yep. All right. This is tough. All right. One, two, three. Green sea turtles. Lava. You can't just yell lava. You're just yelling at work. No, I'm not. Lava, like the Miami heat. Dolphins, I couldn't. It looks like there's beautiful ocean around there. Because they're smart. Is it a smart team?

They have a lot of dolphins frolicking in the water. No, I'm asking if the team is smart. Is that what I doubt it? How would anyone know the answer to that? Shut your fucking mouth. What'd you go with the green sea turtles? Yeah. I just kind of like have a vision of the logo, like a little sea turtle kind of batting the soccer ball. What did I say? Yeah, with his fin.

But it's a handball. Yeah, true. Obviously fire, Kyle. All right, let's go with. Wait, we didn't get, we got to get the verdict. Oh, for this. I'm actually going with Peter on this one. That's right.

Idiots lava. The Cabo Verdei Lavas. That's right. Not lavas. That's her rift. It's like the Miami Heat. Why is it horrific? If they actually are, have a bunch of volcanoes, that's.

pretty cool. Thank you. I got to go away from animals. I'm just yelling animals that I know. All right. Let's go with the Democratic Republic of Congo. Oh, this one's easy. Yeah.

Uh-huh. We're all going to say the same thing. Three, two, one. Gorillas. I switched it up because I thought you were going to say guerrillas. What did you say? Gorillas. Gorillas.

Okay. What did you say? Silverbacks. Oh, nice. Oh, that's better. That is better. That is definitely better. Yes.

Yes. Damn it. We're dumb. All right. Next, let's, let's go with the E. Egypt. Okay. They have a soccer team.

They were in the World Cup. Yeah. Hang on. Wait a second. Okay. I think we may all. Okay. Okay.

Ready? Yeah. One, two, three. The Pharaohs. Energy. Energy. I was going to say Sphinx, but then I was like, no, the pyramids bring energy from the cosmos. What did you go with the Egyptian pharaoh?

The pharaohs? I want mummies. Faroes is slightly cooler. All right. It's a point. It's a point. Come on the Egyptian energy? I don't know about that.

No. All right. funny. It's just a soccer ball with rays of light coming off of it. That's right. Your logo. That's right. The sun. It's the energy versus the Chorascarians. That sounds pretty cool. All right. Let's go France.

Okay. This is a no-brainer. Oh, God. Yeah. Wait. Okay. All right. One, two, three. Chef's hats. What did you go ahead? The baguettes. I went with breads.

Peter, what you say? Chef's hats. How about the tour? Moustaches. I thought about Mustaches. The French Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

They're always doing that, that's all they do. The chef's hats, the French breads. The baguettes. It's got to be baguettes. Let's go.

You fucking baguettes. I feel like the chef hats is pretty good. It's pretty good. The chef hats. Obviously, the logo would be easy to do. It's the main wolds

versus the chef hats. We're not. They're not good at this. Yeah. All right, let's go with Japan. A lot of things to choose from. Yeah, yeah, a lot of things to choose from. I think I know what I've got.

Yep, here we go. One, two, three. Bluenes. Fuck, I couldn't think of anything. Say something. Just go with the bear. I was going to go. Yeah, I was going to do that.

No, okay. The giant salamanders. There you go. Yep. Okay. So the Japan giant salamanders. Imagine that cartoon gif. Big slimy salamander kicking a soccer ball.

tiny legs. Yeah, it's good. It's a little wordy. I went with the blue fins. I went with the Japanese clean. Clean. Peter's doing the, you know that game that you used to see in the 90s where psychiatrists would show you just like black? He's literally doing a Roershack test. Yeah, Roershack test.

It's a little bit better than just an end. I'd say these are a bit disappointing all around. Wow. Well, what do you got then, smart ass? I was just say the sushi rolls. Japanese sushi. That sounds more racist than the school. That's what they eat. Is Kyle, look up if Yelling, that's what they eat. Yelling, that's what they eat in order

to justify something makes it much worse, Kyle. Tell me that's not what they eat. We all eat it. We all eat it for lunch yesterday. Delighting. Who gets the point? I'm going to go blue fins. Ah, yes. All right, let's do a few more. Hopefully people are playing along. Come on. We got to get better at

home. There's got to be better. Okay, this is a good one. This is an easy one. Morocco, we all know a lot about the geography and zoology. All right, here we go. One, two, three. Diaries. Carpets.

What's yours? The carpets. They make very nice carpets. Yes, they do. Lovely Moroccan carpets. Beautiful rugs. I have one in my living room. Obviously, the Moroccan Morocco's.

That's pretty good. The Morocco's. You didn't even know what they were called, but it's a good one. It's the French chef hats versus the Moroccan diaries. Dude, their uniform could just be all brown. It'd be great. Yeah, with some corn corn on it. I'm going to go with the carpets on this.

Oh, you son of a bitch. It's not expecting to take the W on the aisle. By the way, I've never been to Morocco. I would like to go. The only reason I make that joke is it's just one hundred, every year I have a different, a friend or a group of friends that goes to Morocco. Yeah.

I swear to God. And once a year someone goes to Morocco. It used to be a thing for cute girls. Remember that? I feel like it was very much like for girls who wanted to go to Africa without going to Africa. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Kenya. 100% of people that go to Morocco that I know, and I filmed there, I just didn't go on the shoot. Yeah. A bad shoots go there. You didn't eat there. Everyone loses, doesn't lose two days, but everyone gets very bad diarrhea in Morocco. Yeah.

Have you had Moroccan food? Kyle, pull up a picture of Moroccan food. No, it's amazing, but it's just a bunch of plates of goop. Dude, it's a sick. I love it. When you get up, like, out of the cities in Morocco, there's some amazing shit to see there. Oh, I'd love to go. I've never been.

Yeah, that looks good. It looks real nice. Can we just do a little bit of a... Can we go with the Moroccan rugs instead of the Moroccan carpet? It's too late, bro. Carpet's been picked. And one of a point. Well, I'm just saying, like, Moroccan...

It rugs is a better... It's nice. Moroccan carpet. Here's why he's being sensitive about it. Like, you're going to see a prostitute in Morocco. What? Peter is the heir to a carpet fortune. Oh, yeah.

That's right. So that's why... You hate any carpet discrimination. My in-law's own a carpet store. All right. They are Moroccan. That's pretty funny. Norway.

Okay. I know. I'm just going simple. One, two, three. Haldibuts. What's yours? Wolves. Oh, yeah.

I thought you were going to go wolves. I went Halabutz. Yeah, the Norwegian snow is a no brain. No, the Norwegian halibut. Snow. Halibut. Do you know what that is? A fish.

Yeah, of course I know. I've eaten it. Arguably the most delicious. But they get giant halivit in Norway, and what a hilarious soccer team name. We're not going funny. We want to be like. Maybe you're not. I'm appealing to the judge over.

They want to go be like clownish on the field? This is a professional fucking football team. Okay, chef's hats. True. All right, diarrhea. That's him, but still. This is a tough one. This is probably the closest one at them all, you're all that bad.

So you'd rather be halibut or snow than the world. No, no, it's not. You have to say it like a Norwegian, Hollywood. And also you have to say Norwegian snow. Hollywood. I'm going to go. Snow. Snow.

Yeah, baby. That's three points for all. Piti ball. What happens? What happens when they play the heat? Or no, what was the lavas? No, what did you pick? They lose.

They wither and melt. They keep going, Kyle. Or Senegal lava or whatever. Let's do, speaking of Senegal, let's do Senegal. Okay. Every freaking World Cup they lose to France. It does seem that way. It's really annoying.

Because weren't they colonized by the French? Yes, they were. I root for Senegal every World Cup. All right, let's go. Where is Senegal? Which part of the country? Or the continent? North.

Eastern Africa. Right? No, is that right? Kyle Pull up. Northwestern Africa. Yes. Northwestern Africa, I think. What animals do they have?

It doesn't matter. Just count it out. No more information. Okay. They're on the coast. All right. I'm sure they have some rivers. Okay.

Okay. One, two, three. Snatch. Snatch. That's right. Like they snatch. And it also means vagina. You're just looking for letters that you're just

Ah, you're doing alliteration? He's doing alliteration and nothing else. I am not doing just alliteration. I've done several very creative things where you guys are just picking geographical and animal shit. That's all I'm doing. Also, snatch. It's funny. The Senegalese snatch. Well, what?

We're going for funny all of a sudden? Shut your fucking. It's funny and it's firm. Snatch's a fucking ball. Do they have crocodiles? They do have crocodiles? Okay. Never heard of the sports franchise known as the crocodiles.

No, just the gators. I went for the Senegal shark rays because they have an extinct shark ray there that I'm pretty cool I'm actually gonna go crocodile Oh What? Mine was way cooler

What? It's about shark rays? Yeah It is a lot He lisped even just trying to say it They're also extinct So let's do one more You know you're gonna be extinct

From the world cup Uzbekistan Speak of the devil Of course I can't do any alliteration here No You could do the underpants The Uzbeki umbrellas

Yeah Where is... Okay, I don't know anything about it. Could be the Uzbekistan Beckys. It could just be like a cartoon of like a drunk chick. Yeah, that's pretty funny. And then someone's just going, Becky. All right.

Okay. Yeah. Count it. One, two, three. Bazookas. What'd you go with? Golden Eagles. Fuck!

Uzbekistan bazookas, bro. Come on. I said, fuckins. But I was trying to think of... The zooks is pretty cool. That's right. Zucchini. Give me that fourth point, Kyle.
