and i'm just having fun someone someone said that they think that i am fake laughing a lot during the pause i want to go on record i've never faked laugh these are all real laughs willie just makes me laugh i think i fake is my tan so it's friday afternoon we're having a little celebration for lauren and uh alex flag who are both leaving we're having some beers in the on the back patio and uh i have another story that we can talk to talk about later but you know we had a couple beers back there and then i was gonna go meet joe craven for some beers i was gonna go to his house we're gonna walk over i get to their street blocked off by cones and the most amount of fire trucks i've ever seen okay that's kind of weird go all the way down to the other end of

their street and drive back halfway through there it's also blocked off but there's like a gallery of people watching the fireworkers firemen firemen uh watching the firemen do their thing and i was like what's going on over there and this one guy was like blue house is on fire joe lives in the blue house sam lives in like a bunch of our buddies i thought the house was white no it might have used to have been but now it's like navy same house yeah it's totally white no sorry the part that faces the street is you're right everything is except for that front facing wall is blue got it they're like blue houses on fire i was like what how bad i was like my buddy lives in there he's like does your buddy live uh on the top floor or the bottom floor it's like i guess i have

buddies in both he was like oh that's not good i was like what he was i just like went and parked went in scott you know scott from upstairs scott geese uh was walking out of the house knocked a can of hairspray off a table it rolled under their furnace and exploded the whole wall caught on fire we'll put a picture of it right here it he literally like literally almost burnt the house to the ground they grabbed their fire extinguisher and he went to press it and it was just empty and so he like ran downstairs brett miraculously had another fire extinguisher under his grill and went out and put it up um but the firemen were like there for a couple hours they were like running they were using the time to like run drills so like they'd completely put

out the fire but they were like this is a good this is a good like what if scenario like let's run some drills here so they were like running hoses through the house while we were like sitting there trying to drink beers and uh and then we just left but isn't that insane jesus he said it happened in the blink of an eye like he he knocked this can of hairspray open rolled directly under under their like ac furnace unit and it just exploded the whole wall caught on fire new fear unlocked right wow but like think about your thought process there like you knock something over you're like oh darn it and then it just your whole wall explodes in the whole wall so it was the upstairs unit yeah i'll show you i'll i'll show you a picture of it

you can airdrop it who just has hairspray like sitting well he lives with a good he lives he said he didn't he said uh in his honestly he didn't know what it was he knew it was like this thing of hair product that like because they a girl lives in their house jess lives in their house what yeah lauren i'm gonna airdrop it to you airdrop he said he didn't know what it was and then now obviously they can't go like identify it because it like the can it incinerated the second is it possible it was a molotov cocktail that's very possible who would order that i don't know molotov cocktail oh my god that is fucking insane is that insane insane that's like that's insane worst case scenario for knocking their whole house

caught on fire they're the hoes ah fuck it wasn't good damn it like you I knock stuff over all the time the last thing going through my head is like this could explode and catch

my whole house is there a way to rig this to like get insurance money yeah I mean maybe is there a way

to rig wait can you is there a way to rig this to get insurance money maybe we can do it for the office and then we can

work from home and get insurance money right sure okay everyone's happy everyone likes hanging out with me

yeah dude right i was men oh man it was special it was special i rescued a uh a wharf roach what so i went to the beach beach wanting to get away and i was swimming as i be right got a little sunburn by the way on my tummy which is kind of annoying tummy yeah that's like the last is the last place that i get burned because you would have to be it's like the one thing i'm looking at and also like i know i've been you remember i was getting cocky i was like dude i'm not getting sunburned this year which is so dumb like i'm literally a dumb person i'm a dumb i'm not i was like i haven't been getting sunburned at all this year so i just went to the beach and uh laid there shirtless under the sun for an hour and what do you know i got this high noon uh anyway going

though i go in the ocean i get back i dry off with my dad and uh we walk back up to the house and I'm in the kitchen like chatting up with my cousins it was the now week so all the cousins were there I'm reaching my pocket

to get some like my phone or something and there's just like a living organism in it I was like and I chuck it across the kitchen and we see this thing

on the thing and we're like what the fuck is this here I'm gonna show you I have a picture of it you guys wanna see a picture what is it called and we were like

what the fuck what is it called so we look at I use google reverse image search which I've never used very effective I've only yeah I feel like that's

you only use that if you're like currently getting catfished yeah or or if you find a little bug a living organism but it was like we were like i think this is like a sea creature and uh it's it has two names either a or there's some like formal name but it's known as either first of all my dad goes that's a baby lobster and oh we're operating under the assumption this is a baby lobster you had to take a picture of it on top of your address probably the literally the only place in your house you shouldn't have taken a picture that is funny you have to blur that i guess i'll just find a picture of it on the internet that is really funny quick put it on the mail anyway so that thing was in

your pocket it was in my pocket i was like ah and then we had it and we're like what is this and we look it up it has some formal name and it's known as either a a wharf roach or a rock louse i feel like i feel like a wharf roach is what they would call like coastal prostitutes yeah like a like a fisherman who's like yeah yeah he's a real wharf roach so it's the it's it's the lobsterman's equivalent of like a lot lizard yeah exactly what is a lot lizard a lot lizard no no a lot lizard is uh is they're people that will hang out at truck stops and like sleep with the truckers in exchange for, like, maybe some money or, like, food. Is that, like, a job I can apply for?

Look up lot lizard. There's no way this is, like, a... Lot lizard? Lot lizard. Lot lizard is a derogatory slang term used in the trucking industry to refer to female prostitutes who solicit sex at truck stops. So, like, when you pull into port, you get yourself a wharf roach. Yeah.

I don't know if we should be saying that. Why do you even know that word? Why do you? I don't know. A man's got to do what a man's got to do. It was the summer between sophomore and junior year. I needed money. The trucking industry was hot.

And I needed some cash. What did you end up doing with this little guy? Oh, so we were like, we got to save this guy. So we took him outside. Put him in a slingshot and fling him back into the ocean. Well, we took him outside, and my cousin-in-law, Taylor, put it in, like, a puddle. Because at this point, this was before I figured out what it was. We were like, is it water?

Is it a water Pokemon? So we put it in a puddle, and it went like, boom, boom, boom. We were like, all right, clearly a water Pokemon. Or it's like, ow! Yeah, yeah, yeah. My skin! It was definitely the former. So we put it then in a cup, and then we all ran down to the beach with it, and we did, like, a benediction.

my cousin libby did a little benediction what's a benediction like a blessing good i don't even know if i use that word right and then we we all put it we were released can you like reenact sorry i'm nitpicking can you reenact like what she kind of which was like lord let this rock louse back into its home and may it swim in the seas forever amen and then we put in the water And it's just getting lapped up by waves So dead So visibly dead I think it might have died en route

Because we put it in just tap water And it's a salt water rock louse And my brother was going to put salt in it But then we were like just get to the beach Anyway Rifling through the cabinets It's definitely more important that we get him there in a timely manner Than the vessel we're carrying him in

And so we killed the rock louse So how did he end up in your pocket? I don't know i just mean i mean i went swimming in the ocean what do you mean i was in the ocean he doesn't remember i didn't sorry i don't know i know i know i just i would say he probably you know when you like like you don't when you get out of the ocean you didn't like put sand in your pockets but it ended up there yeah like i think i'd washes in there well i was also surfing like gnarly gnarly waves body surfing and uh i call it surfing i actually call other surfing board

surfing um because it's such a snooze fest yeah it's just it's like oh i'll go sit there on my paddle and get yelled at by ugly guys who are actually really hot i'm just a little insecure i'm gonna get oh i'm gonna go i'll go out there with a board and get let thor yell at me because i don't know what the fuck i'm doing right and or i could just body surf like a g be kind of funny to get in the lineup like get in a surfing lineup like just no board you're just treading there and then like a wave comes and you like they're like stop stop snaking us you don't have a board yeah anyway i i killed a i killed an animal no you gave it your best shot we tried to save it it was very fun it was a very fun moment of like all the cousins like running down to the beach

like it was like the same we behaved the same way we would have if that had happened when we were nine years old and it was fun i think if you look you gotta look at it through this lens you probably murdered it no no no this was probably the first rock louse to ever see the inside of someone's house true sit on their mail like this would be like if like if we if our last final moments were on some like crazy other planet true deep in the cosmos cosmos is that how i said that no not really i just said it weird you didn't you didn't say it like that no i cause my this is my version you think cause my cause my you actually could not have said it more you didn't say it like that i was trying to paint like a word picture for the playmates to

i liked it and i was really having fun with it so what were you saying about cause it was like i was standing up on a picnic table telling everyone a story and you came out from under me and grabbed me by my ankles and just ripped them out i'd roll hairspray under you throw a furnace on it instead of throwing if you have the ability to throw a furnace on it you can just as easily like throw the furnace at me do you want to hear about my new drinking game i i yeah i didn't mean to cut you off that we do you have more to say about the cosmos oh no i was just saying it would be it's cool you'd be like oh that sucks i'm dying but i'm the first guy ever to see scorpus male male in this case yeah you're right you're right he went out doing what he loved

um at lauren and flags going away uh partay ben barrett and i wait is that here at the office or a waterfront here at the office i didn't make it to the one on waterfront unfortunately um we went to play ping pong and i just kind of like without thinking put my can down like in the middle of the table on the baseline and then ben put his down because he thought like i had some game some like variation of pong that we were going to play and it required your beer can to be there and i was like oh no no i just i just put that there he was like wait there might be something here and so we were like all right let's just rally like try and figure it out as we go we now have and i think probably variations of this do exist but ben and rusty pong would you

like to hear the rules uh yeah i would like to hear the rules okay your can must be on the base and middle line of the ping pong table at all times all shots must be taken underhand uh up to the gentleman's discretion so like back soft backhands are fine a regular ping pong point is still a point so you're playing to 11 play normally hitting your opponent's can with the ball is two points and a three second sip okay you guys following me who's who's hips you or them so if i hit your can you i get a point and you take a three second sip okay uh no volleys you got you must let the ball land otherwise you just would never let the ball hit your can uh knocking an opponent's can over is game so that is why you don't want your can to get low

my oh okay keep going uh i have one qualm but um if you make contact with your own can but it does not fully tip over it is a point for them and a three second sip uh if you knock over your own can if you knock over your own can uh it is a shotgun of a fresh and cold beer plus one point for your opponent you must win by two points and on a can which is a term uh for when you hit your opponent's can uh a ball striking your opponent's can i.e if the game is tied nine nine you and you can you would win by two and on a can because you get two points for a can yes my question is why can you hit overhand uh because we just realized that that would be uh we would just it would be way easier to win by just playing your best ping pong powerful and we want it to be more about the can

got it okay yeah yeah also you could just go crazy hard trying to hit the can every shot so ben was we were trying to figure out like how to because it would then it would just be like kind of up in the air uh you can apparently spike it at the can you what you you may spike it at the can but if it doesn't hit then oh you can spike it at the can we didn't fully we were we were pretty drunk when we were trying to figure this out you were drinking during the drinking game on friday the they gave me all the places you'll go the dr seuss book oh yeah did you sign it no no one even told me about that oh well i brought it because i want you guys to sign it oh lovely that's like a thing your grandma gives you on like graduation have you read it so cute

have i read it the book yeah not yet the ending is a little kind of controversial like dicey what just gets like a little weird towards the end but have you read it did you already ask you that long time i'm like halfway through it but it's like one of those books it's like i always pick it up and i just never actually finish it right it's like my beach read but like i never just i never like really lock in and get it done it's like that book club that uh they only read a sentence in between each time they meet and so it took them because they then they like really can't remember what the book was but it was some kind of like way out there book in terms of like it would be hard to grab there'd be way too much to cover and so they were doing a chapter and then

i think at one point they started doing just like a word or something that's that makes no sense pull this up learn the like book club that wouldn't take a lifetime it literally took them like 40 years i think they like just finished like last week and they started in like the 80s yeah yeah they took them 28 years reading finnegan's wake focusing on one page at a time one page no and then i then they went i think they went all the way down to like one sentence they did one word like i think a normal yeah i think i I think I got carried away. You got really close

and then you just got too excited. I went too far. That is crazy. That's my kind of book club. Whatever happened to your book club? It got too big. Did you finish the book? They did. I didn't. It got too big for me.

The book club got too many people? Yeah. I think I've talked about this, but it started out and it was just me and Edge. We were both like kind of had a surface level understanding of one like reading in general but two like the the content of the book and uh and then like fucking chris powers joined he was smart and moths joined and he was smart and yeah it used to be like i could just kind of kind of like this podcast

i could just say whatever yeah and edge and i would both take it as fact and then now like if one of us was like i found it interesting when this happened because i think this happened moths who's like apparently like in his free time likes to study uh like the seas and stuff like that so he was just too well read he had already read the book too so he knew uh you can't be in the book club that's what i was saying and it was just like it got too big and now like you know so now i think it's like nine people and i just didn't like i didn't like where it was heading and then we were traveling all the time and edge would be like oh my god it's for your birthday i do one thing for your birthday and you yell and you yell i do one thing for your birthday and you yell at me okay

uh not doing that yeah it was just i don't know it became too corporate for me man yeah it always does like everything good i started a book this weekend what is it it's a it's you probably never heard of it's a little underground it's new and it's totally for guys it is for boys normal people let's say the adventurous have you do you read it i watch the show okay yeah i just started that my question is i know that daisy edgar jones is the woman in the show and she is like stunningly gorgeous and like the way at least i'm like i'm like 50 pages in so there's a lot but like the the girl in the book is described as like sort of like this frumpy it's just like like yeah like not conventionally attractive basically and i'm

like well i think what you got to realize will is sex sells like yeah in i've never read little women but i'm pretty sure the sister is supposed to be like the ugly duckling of the family and then it's just florence puge or pew plays her and she's like one of the one of the prettiest woman of all time bugaha bugaha yeah bugaha yeah after you read that i'm reading a sally rooney book right now oh really i've been which one beautiful world where are you conversations with friends was very good okay i have that if you want to read it yeah maybe if i if i like this who's sally i mean i do like this is the author i haven't read a book in a really really long time so i'm gonna challenge myself to actually finish this book because it's like it's a very easy read

she doesn't use quotation marks though which is a little weird but i don't really bother what like when there's dialogue i don't really bother i don't really bother me i don't really bother it me me know it bother it's yeah when there's dialogue it's just like indented text there's no actual quotes is that like a stylistic choice or she just yeah has like an old typewriter i love her writing style i was gonna get an old typewriter this weekend and flan wouldn't let me where'd you go tortured poets department melrose no uh the mark collective which was also a recommendation for you i got a new photo from and i'm confused about it because it says where the photo was taken in 1966 which i thought that was like kind of the selling

point i was like oh this is cool wait you bought a photo of someone else yeah what wait what do you think you're gonna land photos of yourself wait no no what is it like a family no no it's a guy in a raft like a life raft and he's just kind of chilling got it and uh it says life's a raft life's a raft paddle it uh were you big oh sorry but so it says the photos from 1966 and then whoever i think whoever like framed it or like put it in the thing or maybe even dropped it off at this place yeah put his name and then 2023 and so now i'm confused like where what what do either of those years mean is the photo from 1966 and then he found it and was like no i made this jackson 2023 or maybe the paper is from 1966 okay or maybe the guy was

born in 1966 but that doesn't make it it says like does it look old yeah it's old okay i mean as old as it can look from the 60s. It's black and white. I am the only 60s guy in the world. I am Jump. From morning hockey with a cup of coffee to Timbits and road trips,

could fly oh yeah that's terrible but that story never made any sense to me because how would anyone know that he thought that or said that apparently he yelled like i can fly then that would be how nobody was like the middle all right all right doesn't matter how we got there as long as we figured it out yeah that was there's still like that someone like spray painted lsd on the school and i think it's still there it's very weird it was a weird time i was in um I don't eat lobsters but we had a big lobster night on Friday night

and everyone was eating lobsters and I had my little chicken and everyone was just squirting lobsters you know like they were cracking it was like spraying over me it's like too many people at the table I was like this is fucking hell you're in the fog of war

trying to protect your unseasoned chicken you're like get out of here There's like legs flying across the room. They got hard shell ones, which are like really hard to get open. It's that scene from Shrek where there's like, he like slams on the table and there's food like flying everywhere. Yeah, that's what it felt like. I was like trying to protect my little chicken.

No, but I was going to say, I was in Boston last night for, I got dinner with my friends and my dad and we were walking through the North end and you know, like everything in the North end of Boston, it's like very Italian neighborhood. Italy. uh for people that don't know and it everything about it is very like like it feels like very like i mean it is like where like the mob was and stuff yeah kind of at night it almost i almost feel like i'm wherever jack the ripper was like it's kind of like you're on like these cobblestone streets and sorry continue no no totally that that is what and like all the street

yeah consigliere is like the is like the underboss yeah i'm a made man i'm a oh my gosh what did you drink this morning nothing i was on an airplane i was on an airplane all night and i actually slept the whole time i've never slept that much i slept six hours on a flight yeah i've never done that in my life what do you what what do you do on the plane i I mean, I usually try to sleep, but to actually sleep for six straight hours is unheard of. Waking up on the tarmac is pretty great. I've only done that once, and it was the only time I've ever taken a sleeping pill. My sister gave it to me in Logan Airport.

That's where I was. Don't remember getting on the plane. Woke up in Italy. It was the coolest thing of all time. There were cooler things, but it was the coolest thing that had happened to me at 14. At the time, it was coolest. Yes. They were opening the door right by where I was sitting.

like i was the i was like the front row of the section before the like middle door of the plane and they deboarded us through that door so i was like the first i had the first seat to get off the plane it opened your sound asleep they're like hey wise guy grab your backpack and get the fuck off the plane no i had woken up and i'd gotten my stuff which i was like all ready to go and then they were like two people are like have tight connections so they let them off and then it was like all right you guys can go and i was the first guy to go and i get up and my bag gets caught on my chair and i go oh and i yank it and i smack my head into the thing behind me and then i finally get it off and then i walk again and hit my head again on the thing in front

of me they're like ease off the slapstick get off and then i just booked it yeah but i i fucking humiliated myself in front of you do you see a pilot just got arrested today i don't i didn't see what for google pilot don't google it because i'm pretty sure it was child porn oh okay all right as you all know by now we've teamed up with betmgm this season we'll be using betmgm lines to make all our picks and we'll have special offers for our listeners each week if you haven't signed up for betmgm yet use bonus code playdate and you will get up to a fifteen hundred dollar first bet offer on your first wager with betmgm here's how it works first download the betmgm app and sign up using bonus code playdate then deposit at least ten dollars and place your first wager on

um editing clips really what you said that was your passion you told us when you were just like a little girl in the dream you told us yeah jack i gave a speech he gave me a little speech i i cried it was the most nervous i've ever been i told more before i what was your speech it was actually pretty good i think i don't know if i have it memorized anymore oh you memorized the whole thing i had to i didn't fucking for someone who speaks to people like for a living through the phone and then like i talked to her i talked to her entire company every friday and i've never once had even like the slightest yeah butterfly i had to do my speech at three i was in my car in the parking lot saying it over

and over and over again from probably 1 p.m until 2 45 that's the most the most nervous i've ever been in my entire life what was the gist of it i was just joking the whole time i told stories that weren't real really i don't really remember actually i have it but it was very cute let's get i think jackson has a video of it should we watch it edge gave me a sweet little or he said something about how binder he brought up remembering like when i first applied for the job binder ran my resume into his office being like you have to hire this girl she's she seems just like me like she would be great here well that's awesome um i'm gonna have john bastion can you do we uh but yeah everyone gave it was like an 18 minute video of everyone giving messages to me in flag i was in

it right no what i filmed the thing for it wait were you yeah the football scene yeah oh yeah yeah it was set that whole video that whitney made was 17 minutes long yeah that's crazy it was sweet um but yeah i so i took a i took a public speaking class in college and uh i think we watched that speech a while ago but i've that's the only other speech i've ever given was my final presentation for that so i was trying to remember like the tips that she gave me and then okay he's gonna send it and then two hours before i was like you know what if no one else is gonna because i wasn't sure edge was like you need to get in in exchange for getting that cake for buying that cake he was like

you got to give lauren a speech which i probably would have done anyways great okay glad to know that wait wait i still would have gone up and talked but i wouldn't have he told me like days prior yeah uh and so i wouldn't have had time to prepare anything and like two hours before i was like you know i'll just like wing it but then i was thinking kind of similar to like when i watch will do karaoke and you're like that's cool like it's always cool when someone like gets up gets up there and like puts himself out there and i was thinking like i'm gonna i always regret not doing karaoke or not doing stuff like that or like you get home from the theme park you're like i should have ridden that ride yeah i was like i'd rather just do it and it not go well

yeah then not do it and be like i probably should have done that but i'm glad well i appreciate it it was very sweet uh we're gonna get a video of it and i would say the thing of public speaking is if you get nervous just do like anything like an nfl referee does usually like a little this right yeah like this speech is good and everyone's like i uh yeah i um i went out with chester after and he was like uh he was like he's like dude you're really good at like riffing and so it sounded i think it sounded like i didn't script it but my like knees were shaking i was like very nervous i get like very very nervous public speaking for some reason do you get nervous public speaking not really but i i i sometimes

i but i've also like it's like i've always done that yeah like i was always doing that stuff so i feel like i've but sometimes i do this yeah totally i ran for for class president in high school did not win same did you win yeah you did win and uh and i lost to allison ingles who is a lovely woman i have nothing nothing but respect for her she ran a hell of a campaign and i didn't uh i don't think i i think i signed up like the day of elections and uh and i got up there and was very very nervous and i think it came across like i didn't make any attempt to be funny i think that was going to be the only way i was going to win is if i used like my the thing i was good at but i tried to be serious and it just i think it sounded very very awkward and you're also honest

you're on the stage like way about it wasn't like i was like speaking to my to my peers i went neck and neck with mary frances klein but i kicked her ass i think was it there's some story with her or like oh that was it when i ran for eighth grade okay i lost to caroline funk yeah she promise everyone free ice cream that's what i'm thinking of did not she delivered like once and then she got bullied after and cried and i had run an anti-bullying campaign so i was like get them boys should have voted for me no you're like you're it wasn't it wasn't anti it wasn't anti-bullying in the sense that we should stop bullying it was like a threat where it was like we will if you do not elect me yeah if you elect me i will end bullying if you don't i it will rain

down on you yeah it's like the mob stuff it's like if like or like when pablo escobar like he was the most beloved guy in the country because he was like if everything goes smoothly with this cocaine no planes are going down yeah yeah you need to like how did the how did anyone like he was taking commercial airliners down i heard he was a great hang i bet he was i bet he was a killer hang whatever i'm a betty white she died she really no she did not she's never gonna die years ago fuck okay is that a new year's in brownwood oh it sounds like my address she's taller than i thought she's six foot no but i don't know why i thought she would be like why does it have a vertical listed uh speaking of she runs a 4 4 40 speaking of lovely uh women i was on the phone

with my grandma yesterday yeah and uh i was like can you put grampy because grampy and i have like 13 words with friends games going at every time because like every time it ends we'll both start a rematch and so it like doubles every time and he's kind of been like dragging my ass through the mud he's just like a like a sharp guy and i think he takes his time i i kind of like whatever whatever word bird whatever first word works i just go with that one i don't like consider all my options and i was like put him on i want to talk some smack about words of friends he's been he's been uh smacking me and grammy was like oh he has been smacking me around in rummy cube so i wouldn't feel bad i don't know idea what that game is so it's very fun okay she was like we played

three times today and he beat me handily all three times and i was like okay and i talked to him i was like you know you they've almost been on wednesday they are on the day this episode comes out they will have been married for 65 years okay never mind they will have been for over 65 years when this episode comes out and i was like i don't want to tell you how to do marriage because you've obviously done it uh longer than most people but i think you should let her win one out of three she was like he smacked me three games in a row gotta keep her interest she won't want to play anymore yeah i was like when my dad and i when my when i was a kid i would i had just gotten uh bo2 black ops 2 lauren it's a uh yeah like you really stink bro's got bo2

and uh and i would just like smoke my dad 1v1 he was like it's i'm not gonna want to keep playing if you play like this and so i had to like taper off and like try and like get him in like sneakier ways that's how i'm trying to get my i try to get my mom to like settlers of katan but yeah she has to commit to the learning curve and she keeps doing like you just want to play so you can kick my ass i think she's smart enough she could probably figure it out in like an afternoon way smarter than me and she just refuses to you know you should play with her on steam because it's easier to grasp when you want my mom to get steam what is that what it's like so you can play on your laptop like we used to like huddle all huddle around the coffee table we'd

all have our laptops and play because then it's like that's like dystopian no like me and my college roommates not like my family that would be sad me peter and harper would do that but it was that was because i didn't really know how to play and that takes the only thing you have to do is the decision making aspect you don't have to be focused on like keeping track of the nitty that makes sense um okay we still don't have my speech it's not worth it oh yeah it'll be it's it's a secret it's a secret but it was lovely i made it it's a secret speech what did i talk about lauren i made a joke i want to see it though yeah i what did i talk about i don't remember but you blacked out did you get pretty drunk that night no i went home after uh

after the happy hour i was exhausted oh dude i forgot to tell you you know everyone at vbb loves willie yeah i'm making a run at it i went in i ordered a pitcher first of all the guy dapped me up the bartender dapped me up before i ordered okay i ordered the pitcher and i went to hand him my credit card he handed me two shots of tequila took one with me and goes uh boss said it's on the house thanks for the 9.9 because i i get i said they were the best bar in the world and so i don't know if that's an every time thing but all i know is ever since i reviewed them i have not paid for a beer so that's awesome do you want to take my house next or my bike or my family

or what do you just tell me because first you do under 3000 you take my best story my best celeb encounter now you take my bar now you're more of a fuck i'm like you walk you get home from you get home from work tonight and scott and i are watching like and he's loving it he's never been more engaged he's like i get it now it's way more fun now you fucking asshole you come to my house you come to my home turf and give it such a good score that they have to like you more than me you fucking bitch we walk we walk into um we walk into uh you walk into our office i'm like on facetime with laura yeah my sister all right have a good work week the um

i got uh will is coming to look at our place today oh yeah i hope he does i hope he likes it wait same yeah fun and then and then my friend will might be moving in our landlord finally Confirmed we're good to re-up, which is kind of nice. Are you going to miss Jerry? I am going to miss Jerry, yeah. He seems like a great guy to room with. Yeah, and he likes Wingspan, and he also really likes that girl Lauren, his girlfriend Lauren.

And I like Lauren, and she also likes Wingspan. So it's, you know, we can get four-person games going on the reg, which is kind of a luxury. I think Will will like Wingspan. Yeah, but even if he likes Wingspan, that's still only three people. yeah maybe you just maybe you put lauren in like a slightly darker wig and pretend she's other lauren would you be okay with that maybe and you could say fun things that other lauren says like jerry you play too much

oh man remember jerry was on the podcast when he texted me that oh oh oh yeah grabbing some pizza or something yeah oh my biggest regret for my friday happy hour was not having another piece of pizza dude that pizza was where is it from prime but it was delicious usually i don't love i'm so good or i just i'd only had it one time and it wasn't great that time but this i just the sausage pizza which i would never order on my own sicilian no it was a triangle or square triangle it was just like a standard triangle one two is fire just sausage the sauce they use unreal yeah i you know what pizza i had last night blaze when was that something like blaze like lebron yeah lebron what i've never had blaze imagine do you think there's someone ever

ever out there that will be like oh like will denon will i think people probably do that literally every night um yeah we ordered blaze and we started watching the show girls have you seen that it's on hbo just get merely the word terrifies you yeah it's like it's really crazy it's um i don't know why i did all caps girls it's uh oh lena dunham wrote it created it stars in it uh adam driver's in it but it's like you ever seen new girl no okay lauren you seen new girl it's kind of like new girl if it was it had zero percent of like the comforting aspect like i watch shows like that to be like life's going well yeah and this is comforting yeah this is like too real and kind of grungy and the characters are always doing stuff like flan

had warned me being like they are quirky not in the way that like oh you did it again but like why are you doing this why are you stressing me out got it and uh adam driver's like this like weird like we i'm only on a couple episodes since maybe he changes but he's like this weirdly um sexual guy and he like in the first couple minutes uh they have like really weird i keep saying weird they keep they have this really like odd sex scene where wait sex scene and which what's episode episode one i think it's one there's sex literally every like 15 seconds really yeah okay and you can like subscribe to hbo but i think he puts it in lena dunham's bum like early on it's very odd it made me wildly uncomfortable but i'm kind of

growing it's kind of growing on me is it do you ever get like a boner during the sex scene so can i be honest with you yeah yesterday we were lauren plug your ears we were watching girls and there was like not there was a sex scene that was not sexy like it wasn't there was nothing like hot about it yeah but just they were having sex in it and yeah i got up and went to the kitchen to like get something because i was like if she if flan notices that i have a boner watching this she's gonna be like you are a sick sick man because it wasn't like hot but then you weren't so you weren't getting one during the hot scenes just during so you like well so you like that you like that grimy ugly stuff no i don't like the ugly stuff i don't like it ugly i don't like

it ugly you like it when it look weird i don't like it when it looks weird i like it when it looks normal but no it was just so she didn't warn me and like the i think it was the first sex scene is like not sexy but it was just the fact that like i'm not used to seeing like nudity like that on yeah cable television like it was kind of like crazy and so i before i got network tv i guess before i got fully excited i yeah i went and grabbed a diet coke and i sat in there until i calmed down you poured on your penis still went down no but i heard her pause it like when i got up she was like oh pause it i was like no it's fine no just keep going because i was like i don't want to like come back calm down and then like

have to get it because i can only you can only use the diet coke excuse so many times yeah you can only yeah that's a really good point actually yeah uh so you got really hard during a gross sexy it wasn't gross it was just like you open with that the whole pod yeah no uh it was i gotta stop doing that it wasn't super gross it was just like there it wasn't romantic or sexy it was just like adam driver in jeans like i think putting it in lena dunham's bum which was weird because they were talking i don't know he was like he was like i'm gonna go get some lube and she was like why would you need lube and he was like he was like you're telling me there's a show i can go click on on my tv yep where adam driver is wearing jeans and he's putting in lena dunham's bum yes

it's like a trail if i get hard i get a diet quick there's a trail of smoke um flan moved into this new oh yeah yeah this new apartment in san monica it's so nice in san monica yeah nice seven minutes from my house as opposed to like 30 which is nice oh yeah and uh but it's it seems like everyone who lives in this like kind of it's like built in like a horseshoe shape so they all kind of share this one like courtyard and uh everyone there seems to have lived there for like their whole lives and they all keep coming over with like different kind of like a house hers is no it's like an apartment but there's no one she shares like one wall okay but uh this old man came over and he was like kind of talking to her for like 20 minutes

and then at the end was just like oh one last thing uh can you turn your porch light off at night because it shines right into my bedroom and it scares me and i was like she was like yeah okay of course and uh and then like another guy came over they all are just like weirdly inquisitive about like the new person so that's what makes me think like whoever moved out must have also lived with these people for like 50 years like they're all yeah really old one guy someone i should have dug more the woman next door was like yeah when the fires happened like so and So I saw him leave his house with a suitcase and two Emmys. And we were like, oh, that's kind of cool.

And then they all seem to work in entertainment. I don't know. It's very interesting. But everyone leaves their door open so you can hear what they're watching. And so when we were watching girls. I'm having trouble picturing this if it's an apartment. Does it have an entrance on the street level? No, you walk upstairs to get to hers.

but it's everything like her front door faces like two units in one building no that's a house this is like so the neighbors are other people in the same building kind of but like her building it's like like floating pods of like two you know what i mean so it's all like the same they're all the same color they're all like the same color um but no they're not all connected and i wouldn't just necessarily describe it as like an apartment building like condos maybe is a good way to describe it all right i don't know you just pull it up when you just like not show this part so you guys can know what the fuck's going on it's you look at it and just be like oh like it's everything you've ever seen every you are every girl's to me uh what else i think lauren gave

that one a no what oh looking it up yeah that's okay you don't have to well that's just gonna take too much time lauren let's talk about let's talk about your your tenure here at at i think it was only two years i always thought that professors got tenure once they had been there 10 years lauren what's your talk about your experience for the playmates what's it been like working for almost friday and working with willie and i and creating this i got a little emotionally there because i was thinking like we we built something kind of cool together very and that's i don't think we ever stop and think about that yeah not at all this is like a real thing the first few i mean we did this for months when no one was listening literally no one yeah i

think that's a testament if you're out there and you want to start doing something uh you have to be prepared for literally no one to no one to acknowledge it for months maybe years think about um yeah what's it been like i mean it's been great this like working here has been a very unique experience that i will probably not have again um but it's been wonderful honestly like i feel grateful to i just feel grateful to have been in this space do you have any advice for the new producer i already gave advice i'm lost did we already okay did we tell them what's happening what do you there are so we currently have i think 1500 applications that we are 100 would you get that

go up yeah i think so i thought we closed it after a thousand we probably should have 13 i don't know more than a thousand uh that we're you know sifting through we're trying to get to the bottom of it but in the meantime i believe andrew nelson who has been on before yeah lovely guy Andrew's the best. He's the coolest. I don't even know this. He's just going to sit in. Okay.

And I think it's going to be like rotating people until we, because we really want to get this right for you guys. Yeah. What if we like interviewed a completely normal person, and then like the second we started, she was just like, wah! I mean, that's what happened with Lauren, and we just had to put up with it for two years.

Yeah. But I'm ch. Yeah, I. It hasn't even been two years that we've worked together. It feels like a lifetime. no it feels like it's been so long um yeah it's weird i'm sorry that i cannot be here to like or be here until the new person is here i'll be sorry um how much money would it take for you to do that stop we'll take out a loan against our house can you take a loan against

more but like once you have one like you gotta keep going yeah and so we heard john bastion was uh sneaking us beers under the table that's fine that's really cool thank you that was also the best thing in a speech is like keep people's attention the whole time don't make it too long that was great it was all fun funny i thought i was gonna follow that's why i made it like a minute a minute and a half because i knew it was gonna be oh my god i don't know if we can even keep this in got up and told the story about flag and it's the first literally the first word he said first sentence he said when he started his speech was uh we were in uh we were in montauk and edge gave me molly

meltdown so that was definitely your idea but then i think i i helped bring it to the finish line okay nice that is that's one team funny thing about you and i working together on like everything yeah is i can never remember who where it started who thought of something like yeah i'll be watching back like old drafts and i'm like because usually usually this is how it goes when will and i are trying to figure something out we'll sit there idea one idea two idea three we'll be like oh those two of those sound good and we'll just like pick those without any other thought uh but i think yeah it's funny that one that one i was almost certain was your idea so i'm stoked at that maybe it was no that was you that was a go that was that was a featherstone

classic yeah well guys go check out the golf tournament what do you say the featherstone welcome back to the featherstone classic ah mark hamill is teeing off who's mark hamill this guy plays luke in star wars i really have to be let's all do it let's go pit let's all pee together true true true classic uh i gotta say something they said true classic send us with new t-shirts yeah this is i've never been like a like a like a classic t-shirt guy i've i've sort of developed a reputation for always having weird sports teams on my shirts true classic has changed the game for me they're comfy they're classy i feel like i can wear them

Let's get back into the episode. i don't even want to roadmap it up yet i know sad our last roadmap ever are yours what if the new what if the new producer doesn't say the rocks in my yard part that's how we'll know okay if the new producer says there are rocks in my yard that means she can't work here

because she had listened i don't i think that anyone who starts this job the expectation would be that they've gone and listened to it they should know the nature of the show i would see the opposite if they don't know it they can't work here she goes she goes there are rocks my everybody goes you don't sit where she sat they're like there's rocks in my house and we're like get out of fucking and like lawler comes in and just with a machine gun like his machine gun goes dude i called that dog bj on accident like a blowjob bro wait that's his name dj oh oh you call them bj like a blowjob too like a blowjob sloppy blowjob i said that i called him i'll put

a picture of it right here i uh i ethan was like this is i thought he said this is bj and i was like that's kind of weird because it's one thing if you're first and middle initial make make those right so but for a dog you can dogs don't have middle names yeah except for eric peters he'll have a middle name ep have you named your penis no no i'm gonna let his mom decide do you guys do that yeah no i remember one time i was at uh buchanan park when i was like six some guy was like meet rascal no no we were playing like like football but with like an older crew we were young and i remember this one kid was like yeah i got names my two balls i call them big and bigger and that was the funniest thing that me and owen wallace had ever

heard at that point in our lives um laughs already but i was like shocked by it was like oh my god he said balls yeah we're in public one time i know it's gonna be crazy one time if i know anything about my brother will to know this shit gonna be this show this shit gonna be off the chain all right lay it on me brother i was uh at the park and every story with you at the park how often were you at the park i used to i used to go to the park all the time okay sorry we would go every friday after work or after work after working in the mines uh no i lived right by the coolest park in lancaster and we would walk there from my school and um what's the least cool park in lancaster bins okay i mean it has a fountain but there's no grass uh one time i called the

i accidentally called the ice cream truck i was trying to wave at my friend yeah and the ice truck that i was waving him down hailing an ice cream truck yeah two spongebob pops and i just remember the ice cream truck pulled up and we were like oh my god so we just booked it and climbed a tree so like from the ice cream truck's perspective he's like oh a customer and then just he gets like run like he's a fucking like pedophile and climb up a tree like or like a bear like if we go up the tree he can't yeah that's like i think i've told this story my dad my dad's best friend growing up was a german exchange or not exchange a german kid who had permanently moved to maine named ingo ingo ingo ingo he used to come over to our house and he'd go i don't like to brag i don't like to

boast but i like but on my breakfast toast yeah i love that i thought he made that up turns out it's like a an old school hip-hop rhyme yeah it's from um rapper's delight yes my mom knows ever i don't mean to brag i don't mean to boast but i like hot butter on my breakfast toast if you girl stop acting up him he was uh he was like a notorious kind of uh uh prankster apparently according to my dad not prankster just like mischievous kid the two of them and they would throw snowballs at cars yeah and they nailed my grandpa's car not knowing it was him and he slammed on the brakes threw it in reverse started chasing them through the woods didn't know it was his son and ingo and my dad got away and ingo was like the way my dad describes him i like to picture it um

you ever seen simon birch no pull up simon birch pull up so obviously ingo was not a uh was not a little person but like this is what i because i think my dad was kind of a big kid go to look at the bicycle scene no not just him oh i know him so like the two of them together on the bike the oh that one like i like to picture them like that like my dad and then he's like slightly smaller friend so ingo scurried up a tree and my grandpa was a big man like six five six six big guy they called him zeus in town apparently and he shook ingo out of the tree well like a like i think it was like a relatively juvenile tree but it was one of the ones he could sway and he shook him out of the tree

and it fell down and he took him home. Like an acorn. Sure. If that's what you... Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. We should roadmap. All right.

As much as it stings, let's roadmap it up, guys. This is our last ever roadmap. Last ever... We'll come up with a new... I think we should just reinvent the pod when the new person comes. Reinvent the we.

You don't stand where she stood. No, we won't reinvent the pod. We don't want to scare anyone off. Also, I... You know, guys, we're going to do our part to find the best possible producer but a big fear I've had

is her not being accepted totally by the playmates I think we need to go into this optimistic and it's kind of like they'll be nice, I think the playmates are nice they are nice thank god it's the playmates and not a different fan

base but glory days those Manziel heads are fucking ruthless but i think what's going on with the johnny manziel podcast like the number one sports podcast in america yeah i there must have been some promotion i mean we are up in the charts because spotify's like promoting our episode that's what i'm saying they must have i just can't but like no one all the everyone's posting like seltzer's posting about it like

uh like incredibly incredibly proud of the hard work paying off which like obviously it's great and stuff but like when ours go up no one's posting it because they know it's not real so them posting it makes me think makes me think it's real yeah i don't know i mean it makes sense he's real all right we for whatever reason 300 000 people decided to listen to the episode called why my date drunk a drink on me all right because it was that good actually it was it was groundbreaking stuff um okay sorry but my last thing playmates do us a solid we're gonna try and figure out we're gonna try and find the best person for you but we need to stand behind her whoever she is and let her get let her get her footing when we do find her and let's be supportive

and hopefully she i know she's gonna rock because will and i so they're gonna narrow it down and will and i are gonna talk to probably 10 people maybe i don't know i have no idea so we'll and i'll talk to him we'll hopefully we'll find the best person for it we find a really good one yeah or not it's just lauren in a mustache it's just lauren in a sombrero and everyone's like okay everyone's like everyone's like okay okay um that was a bleep that bleep this lauren that was a ass joke everyone's like gay yeah but i liked it i thought you uh all right guys we have a Beautiful, beautiful send-off for Lauren today.

Mine's Spectrum Setup-2FF8. What? Oh, my God. I feel so unconceivably small right now. I feel like I have shrunk down into this cushion and someone else is sitting on it. My consciousness is under my butt. What?

Who's sitting on it? Bertis. Bertis? Bert Kreischer. Lauren's favorite comedian. We did... Yeah, I always thought that was kind of odd about your personality. It's not very fitting, but...

She loves the... She loves that machine story he tells. The machine. That's what Lauren will always do off-camera. Yeah, you are oddly obsessed with the machine story. The machine. I... okay sorry and then we're gonna do family guy cutaways more family guy cutaways that don't

felt like mentally bad recently because i'm eating so poorly but you work out like in the mornings i haven't been recently i've been so tired i haven't been able to do anything i put so much work into my body and every morning i look at it and it looks like an old man frowning back at me well why do you talk about how shitty you eat you know washboard abs and it makes me want to uh i hope okay new producer has to new producer has to eat clean because everyone being off new producer has to be on a juice cleanse so fucking scared new producer has to be a juicer from the mob

when those were taken off my sisters was in my sister was in college and she did the xavier one was to dynamite by tayo cruz and she was in it and i remember thinking it was a cool like i would bring my friends over and be like watch this and then be like look that's my sister yeah we were in middle school in the high schoolers did it like through the halls yeah high school's gonna be a fucking movie so cool all day just doing lip dubs i know and then it turns out it was mostly harlem shakes we got in trouble for doing the harlem shake and do the harlem but yeah but didn't you have your full bong out no oh is that someone else i we did the harlem my basketball my sixth grade basketball team did the harlem shake at john o'connor's house and uh we got a little raunchy

i'll i'll hey humping i'll be there was a lot of humping there's a lot of like flossing like shit between our legs i'll admit i'll be the first one to hand up we got a little carried away and our parents got together and we're like hey you guys need to never do that again take that offline i used to do i did it with my family a few times it was pretty sad actually it was when i first moved to charleston i didn't have any friends right so i was doing how'd that pitch go my mom and dad you were like they were so desperate for me to want to be there right they had uprooted my whole life like yeah man yeah we'll do a harlem shake um god that like God forbid we want to cherish our moments with each other

By facing each other and not looking at you This is so good to cherish with Lauren I'm cherishing Lauren It was actually a really fun time in my life Because I got really close I spent a lot of time with my dad And I'll forever cherish that year of my life Even though it was different

What's the worst thing about going to Arby's? I literally have never been, so I don't know. Wait, the worst thing? People keep shouting. The food, people keep shouting, we have the meats at you. No, I actually like the food's pretty good. I've heard the curly fries are good. I've never been there.

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe the burger sticks to your hands. Is that real? Dude, bless you. I like Arby's, too. I think it's good. But this guy says, oh, my gosh. Lauren, I want to put something on the record.

i was trying to do like you know when someone's like telling a stupid story you're like oh come on i pointed at you and then did that motion in no way did i mean he looked me in the eyes went that's not what i meant like to you to me i was like joking being like get out of town but it looked like i was saying like lauren jerk off well i my eyes were closed last 27 but you would have edited it i would have edited it edited it you would have edited it okay if we keep talking won't end if it keeps going we won't end all right people so the worst thing about going to arby's is that people might see you there and think less of you introducing prbs prbs is a public relations firm that specializes in restoring your reputation after your friends family or

co-workers see you at arby's when you find out when you find out someone saw you at arby's you can contact prbs and within 24 hours you will receive a carefully crafted excuse as to why you were there such as i was buying meals for a homeless shelter or my son needs five beef and cheddars a day to live with the arby's the people who saw you at arby's will regain their respect for you and possibly respect you even more than they did originally thank you for listening you guys rock that is so funny i also like that a lot originally what i thought it was going to be was like a kind of nondescript building that was like a speakeasy and on the inside it was like other people that are like hiding like they want to get their rbs fixed but they obviously can't do it in

public yeah i like the i like the idea that not only are you going to be vindicated but they're actually going to think even better of you like oh he was just getting rbs for the home i actually think so that's i remember i liked it when i had it i thought it was i went there's one by thomas's house on ji and it was so good i like that i feel like roast beef is the is the last meat that i want to be fast food turkey that looks so no like jersey mike's that looks good to you no it looks disgusting no like a beef and cheddar though i've never had the beef and cheddar lauren pull up beefy king sandwich this is in orlando and it was i ate it one time it was not good someone just fart oh okay okay

Okay Ooh I'm going to Chicago I'm gonna get Portillo soon Hot dog Italian beef You know they have one here Yeah in like fucking Anaheim And it's probably ass

Didn't Luke Nolan make you go Or he made Caleb take him I'm not going Portillo The Cubs and White Sox played this weekend A real battle of the Chicago's You know the Pope's a White Sox fan yeah now he's a white robes fan yes come on okay thanks thanks max that was epic the mets have won

seven in a row since they brought pablo sanchez out nice it's great okay next pinch what next pinch wait well don't do that it's making like crazy oh gosh darn it Balls were stuck to my thigh I took a turn to Boston Okay Andrew Butcher Hi Andrew Butcher He says

Hello gang What is the worst part about golfing? Ooh Too long I think you You might have been the first person to tell me this Golf should be 12 holes Yeah it's too many holes

Golf is way too many holes You have done Like 9 holes should be 6 18 should be 12 you're out there for too long maybe the cart girl doesn't come around enough or guy or guy and uh and you are you want to keep drinking but it's she's not coming at a pace to kind of satisfy your needs he says losing your ball every other hole oh that one i do a lot too yeah here's my pitch the birdie buddy it is a small drone that will follow your golf ball after you hit it and show

you where your ball is on a map and through the drone's camera no more worrying about dealing with lost balls as the drone will never lose track of the ball hey went into the lake don't worry the birdie buddy will fly underwater and grab your ball for you put it in the drop zone hit your ball into the tallest grass ever no fear the birdie buddy is here to point it out never lose your ball again and enjoy your day out on the links with the fellas love y'all i like that i also it would be cool to put together like highlight tapes yes of it yeah oh yeah every ball flight looks cooler if if it's tracking it yeah that is uh that is fun i i think that'll be industry standard in about five years i hope so i also think five years like when you're playing like

if you ever played a golf tournament when you were a kid you score better or you like hit less balls out of bounds because there's always someone that sees where it goes yeah yeah and so it's like your balls sometimes you call it out of bounds just because you can't find it i'm a big like it's pretty lazy but like i was like yeah probably gone because you always all i'm always looking for so i'll always find a ball right as long as i break even i'm fine our course in maine is a lot of old white guys who literally if it's like not if it's not readily available in the rough they're not going to get it so you come out like way net positive because you find for every one ball you lose you find 12 and if you're a guy like me you're losing a sprix on and getting a pro v1

that's what i'm saying these guys in these guys that are our club in maine uh all play nice ass balls yeah and literally if it is not in the there's a chance you'll find them just like in the rough where they're just like i don't care my golf coach in high school was a starter at like a country club uh and he would just go around the course at the end of his shift and just get us a bunch of balls to bring to practice they were all like the nicest balls possible all right to repitch each other yes i'm excited about this one hit me brother seat flip all right imagine there's a classic dilemma of the uber or taxi or what be it there's the one guy who has to sit in the front seat which sure it's nice you get to be in the front seat a little more leg room but

if it's like a fun night out you're kind of isolated sometimes you end up talking to the driver what are you guys talking about yeah it's like wait what was the story uh button flips that passenger seat around yeah so you can just talk like why why does that exist that would be well it existed in like old 70s cars but you're right we should bring it back there used to be i am the only 70s guy in the world i am job um is that genius that would be awesome that also immediately turn into the most coveted seat because you'd be like holding court yeah everyone's facing you that'd be good for like planning where you're gonna go you know when you're trying to figure out like what the plan is for the night yeah you're like wait where are we going you can just

turn around like all right boys here's the plan and here's my idea then we're going to vbb then say the seats like this yep it goes like zoop oh so you you get in you get in with your feet up and your back on the seat and then you press the button it like flips you i think you press the seat button before you get into it okay yeah or you guys you don't want any flare like this that's what i'm saying press the button yeah you go hello but like especially like i get it in like an uber that just might be a guy's car but like a taxi you could have that totally that also just be fun to have in your car in general yeah or it's all the seats and when you're about to get hit head-on you press them and everyone flips backwards so your butt takes all the damage

have you seen the movie the like new vacation movie they made with ed helms uh with our with skyler uh something oh i think skyler just don't know who is in that yeah yeah there's like a scene where they get like a european rental car and they're like like all the buttons are just like little pictures like what does this one mean he clicks it and it spins all the seats including in the driver's seat backwards and he's like wow that's funny yeah um all right let me let me see what i wrote here all right what's the worst part about being a playmate lauren's leaving the second worst part about being a playmate generally speaking not sometimes we can't actually hang out with them sometimes we say stuff that's really boring i was gonna say

they probably hear the prompts for like the drafts and they have them but they can't participate in them there's an app by playmates for playmates whenever we come out with uh a draft it sends out a prompt they can all comment what they would have said they can write their own prompts and have people comment them as well so you could be like all right we're doing sayings that don't exist do your worst and they all because i bet i bet there are playmates out there that are way better at this yeah i've had people send in sayings that are really good we should do like at some point fan submitted ones yeah totally i think that'd be really good wouldn't that be fun we could maybe we try to do like at the end of the year we do like the bit like saying of the year

yes we have a competition can somebody make a playmate a playdate um subreddit and you guys just do that would you guys do that for us i don't yeah i don't know if there's enough really to do a subreddit how can you can anyone start everyone people post stuff about our podcast in the almost friday subreddit yeah but i want there's like a tag for it so you can like categorize it as a plate is there like a is there like one for everything there's like a glue guy one net netters no i think it's just mostly us and the almost friday on the ftb video all right should we do am i the asshole yes am i the asshole that you're looking for where are we anyone looking for this asshole all right who up looking for this asshole all right

the show and seemed even cooler in person nice willie dub hell yeah hope to meet the rest of you one day in boston i got a good am i the asshole for my high school days i was dating this girl for about a year and it went really well until she cheated on me damn it i was caught completely off guard and one of her best friends was the one who told me long story short that's interesting um long story short i was at a party a couple weeks ago and ended up hooking up with her best friend of 10 years not really out of spite but it just sort of happened say the say the last part again so the girlfriend cheated on him he says i was caught completely off guard and one of her one of her best friends was the one who told me yep long story short i was at a party

a couple weeks later and ended up hooking up with her best friend of 10 years nice not really out of spite but it just sort of happened i kind of felt bad after but at the same time she cheated on me my ex and her best friend are no longer friends anymore and i kind of ruined a 10-year friendship am i the asshole oh that's a good question because the friend the friend did nothing to you you're not you're not the asshole at all but i'm saying like i'm just trying to think of it from all angles here the only way you could even remotely argue that you would be the asshole here is because you i guess the friend put herself in a compromising position i think that that is awesome i don't think yeah i don't think you should feel bad at all that girl cheated

on you but i'm saying you could maybe feel bad for the friend but the friend was the one who hooked up with you totally but i'm just trying to play devil's advocate no you're not the asshole in fact you might be a rock star i think both of them are assholes the girls yeah well i don't think no i would be like if i was the other friend i would argue like why do you care you obviously didn't care about him because you cheated on him yeah but you could you would know that that was going to be an issue i think yeah i think not only you nta you rtr oh the rock star yeah and you the fact that you're worrying more about the fact that you ruined a tenure friendship rather than the fact that this girl cheated on you like you seem like a nice guy

so yeah yeah rtr rtr that sorry that happened to you yeah that's yeah that does stink you deserve better it's happened to the best of us and you did you you got out of it in the most most rock star way possible that is pretty rock star you go are you gonna share me whole life whole say your whole life on fire all right now honestly i would say you double down find out where find out where like you know her mom or sister any of those people like to hang out for a cocktail you go in in a turtleneck you say you look like you're a woman who's got an itch that only daddy can scratch and then you just one by one pick off every woman in her life and hook up with them i actually yeah i think that's stuff that's the only logical next step

i yeah i mean that's what you did during covid right yeah next am i the asshole this is chippy hey chippy chippy hello peter joe and quagmire waggy no joe i want to be quagmire yeah i'm peter oh because you want to say giggity giggity right yeah i just i think what am i quagmire no i'm call no you're joe joe i'm joe joe from family guy okay this all starts in late september i just this all starts in late september i just transferred to a different college to be with my best friends my best buddy keep going you're not listening we're listening we're just buddy late september my best buddy grundam and i grundam grundam my best buddy grundam and i went to a honky-tonk every Wednesday to swing

dance. Does it say Grumdom in there? Yeah. What city is this? Nashville? Kansas City. Kansas City. One week. So he goes to this honky-tonk to swing dance every week. One week a girl was checking him out.

Checking Grumdom out. You know what they say. Grumdom gone grum. Grumdom one, Grumdom all. So I wing-manned and they started dating a bit later okay the same week they started dating i started noticing a change i respect someone wanting not to drink and i respect someone's religion but then it all hit the fan when he messaged me telling me i was a bad christian for drinking and that i drank too

often and too much i'm confused grundham said this wait he he wingmaned grundham he wingmaned grundum into dating this new girl it sounds like the new girl is is a hardcore and she got grundum to start messaging him we don't know that yeah let's find out um yeah so grundum is saying that he's a bad christian and i drank and that i drank too often and too much but he would get shit face why i stayed sober when he went to the honky tonk okay this guy sounds fucking awesome he told us If there's any type of guy that I resonate with the most is someone who is simultaneously a hypocrite and kind of annoying. So far, I'm kind of on Grundum's side. So Grundum totally flipped and was overall being a bad friend.

So I responded by counting all the times I could remember him blacking out and the embarrassing stuff he had done. I apologized the next day for being defensive, even though I felt I had the right to speak my mind. since then he has talked bad about me to my childhood friends and even successfully turned some against me so am i the asshole for how i defended myself no what does that sound grunt this guy sounds like a evil overlord i think he hath been poisoned yeah i would say and i don't you know i don't want to point fingers i think that you know this because you included this detail this girl is probably taking him to one of those mega churches where there's like crazy stuff going not maybe he's a scientologist now exactly and i think that he pink pink guys yeah what no like

pink concerts oh oh so this girl it sounds like this girl you got that for levine you got levined uh it sounds like this girl made him go way too hardcore christian uh and now he's taking it out on you and i think it's not even about being hardcore christian it's about being judgmental which is not christian no that's what i'm saying i'm sorry yeah i misspoke he went too far yeah that way which there are there are people that are you know that hateful because they go too far christian that totally exists and i think that's probably what happened and uh i think it's hilarious that you instead of just being like dude why don't you do this all the time you counted and like annotated it with yeah also like he's going like bro bro needs to fucking

worry about himself bro's glade bro's obsessed with you he's going to your childhood friends and trying to turn them against you yeah that's very mind your own fucking business grundam yeah i'm gonna say i hate grundam not only nta loki rtr rtr again loki r you are the rock star oh yeah i would i would go to your i would go to your go to your hometown friends and be like anything yeah what are why are you guys listening to grundum yeah i've literally nothing is literally nothing has changed about me except for the fact that grundum's dating a new like born again psychopath yeah i agree and if you're selling anything i would buy it yeah rtr i'm in the market for some stuff yep love you guys okay that's all of the assholes for the day should

Do you know about the camel trophy? No. I know about the camel toe fee. The camel toe fee is high. The fee. Excuse me, ma'am. What's your camel toe fee? Is it reasonable?

If not, I'll just go home. Lauren, pull up the camel trophy. bro so the camel trophy the camel trophy used to be this race uh through south america i believe and they would drive it started out with three jeeps like these german teams and then later i think they moved to like defenders and land rovers and range rovers and stuff but they would go through these great these like on these crazy expeditions through the jungle that was in papa new guinea that's pretty cool and uh and whoever won got the camel trophy but these were like they would completely submerge these cars they would pick like the hardest route possible

for them to drive through and uh it looks it just looked like us like learn go to that second photo literally there were parts where their car was like fully submerged driving through these places wow is that insane yeah that's insane can we win it i think we could have won it yeah totally camel trophy camel trophy shit show so what is your camel toffee wait so a lot of people do it yeah it started it started with just three and then at the end i think but my question is like wouldn't it still be i don't know if no i think it was in the 90s 80s and 90s um i don't i've never understood it though because if they're all going on the same path like it's not like a race like they're not like flying

yeah so whoever i feel like whoever went first as long as they did probably more just about like surviving like probably so many people just like that's true picked off the the uh slow and steady a couple cars like exploded it's like yeah it's insane we're calling fire uh all right we do this guy rocks this guy rocks this guy rocks today hey hey i said this guy rocks and he rocks so hard he rocks in your house and he rocks in your yard there's rocks in my yard all right lauren i slacked it to you oh wait i think i have a guy that rocks too nice do you want to start with yours you want to end with yours um and i learned pause this immediately and i mean immediately okay this is this is a news anchor uh in albany who is just fucking she showed up to work

You know when we record. you can just show up and uh we're gonna miss you a lot we love you so much uh and i'm excited to be able to hang out without and be able to just really say whatever i want because uh without you being able to go to hr so when we hang out now i'm expecting to be unfiltered yeah yeah any last words oh god this feels wrong i know let's keep going for like 40 more minutes um any last
