Starting point is 00:01:20 Do you prefer Matt or Matthew? You can talk, but just for a second. If it's just you and me talking it's Matt But there's a more famous Matt star on Instagram and whatnot. So it's Matthew star for all introductions We're gonna have him killed before this podcast is over Comedian writer director so many things so many slashes in there I'm your host Ian Carmel and with me as always are my good friends and stand-up comedians Sean Jordan and David Borey Let's get into it
Starting point is 00:01:49 Wait, wait, I forgot we started You're already into it. You keep into it. Just keep it all in. I love it. Keep it all in Man, let him see how the sausage is made. Mm-hmm. We're podcasting now, Matthew. This is it. I love it. Yeah. I'm familiar with the art form, and I think it's really going places, I think. Podcasting, it's really going to take off pretty soon.
Starting point is 00:02:14 I'm hoping so. We are branding ourselves as the third Kelsey Brother in an effort to get some of that sweet, sweet. Oh, man. A hundred million dollars. A hundred million? Holy cow. He's Louise. They both made a ton of money in the NFL. And he's having a kid with,
Starting point is 00:02:30 she's saying they're gonna have a kid, right? She's saying she's gonna try to have a kid? Who, Taylor Swift? Tay said that, yeah. Who said that? She said that? Tay, you callin' Tay? Tay said that.
Starting point is 00:02:39 You breakin' news? Yeah, who Laura's mom told me. And she, I swear to God, she's never once been wrong. I she was wrong once But she only thought she was you got her no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no much dip on your chip just once. I think it's so crazy that people are actively upset that Taylor Swift attends professional football games. That's crazy. And that they cut to her. And that they, yeah. It's not Snoop Dogg at the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Dude, that was a bit much. Right? Yes. It was a bit much? Yes. It was. Snoop Dogg? I didn't mind it a ton, but it's like, yeah, it is a bit me.
Starting point is 00:03:24 You're taking away from the athletes even a little bit, and they deserve to get the credit, the shine. I would say this about Snoop Dogg at the Olympics. I feel like they should, because he performed for the throw to LA at the end, right, in the closing ceremonies. That by the time he was rapping for the throw to LA, I was like, oh yeah, he does rap. He doesn't just swim and ride horses with Martha Stewart, right? Like, man, he's really good at this. And it's like, oh yeah, that does rap. He doesn't just swim and ride horses with Martha Stewart. Right?
Starting point is 00:03:46 Like, man, he's really good at this. And it's like, oh yeah, that is what Snoop Dogg does. He's got something there. I'd argue it's not what he does anymore. I mean, I think he does the three songs, but I think he's like a personality at this point. Well, him and Dre got a new album coming out, right? Isn't that what's happening?
Starting point is 00:04:01 Is that happening? I don't know anything about that. You're breaking all sorts of news on this. Yeah, what's good? Yeah. Yeah. Taylor're breaking all sorts of news on this thing. Yeah, what's going on? Yeah. Taylor Swift is pregnant with Snoop and Dre's baby. So you just have like one of those ticker tape news things coming by you, and that's just like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Boys, you're not going to believe this. This just in, we're back in war. I hope you're not married to your job at the factory just yet, gentlemen. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has collapsed. What? Detox?, detox coming or what? I don't know, you know, this could be some of those things that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I feel like I didn't just make these two things up. I feel like I heard them somewhere.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I also feel like I would have heard from my wife if Taylor Swift had announced she was planning on having a baby. Is she there? No. Oh, all right. baby. Is she there? No. Oh, all right. No work, she's at work. All right, I was gonna say holler.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I'll text her. Quick Google away. See, this is, Matthew, I've taken to not looking up things that don't matter. And quite frankly, a lot of things that do matter. This is a new behavior for him. It's just more fun to talk about. Why solve it with a quick little Google
Starting point is 00:05:01 when you could get lost in the ancient art of conversation instead, you know? You're not're not worried like because I feel like the next day I would wake up and I'd be like I can't believe I said Taylor Swift is having a baby and just had a nut Like where did I get that? No not having it's it's it's it's there Yes, we might not have to wait until tomorrow morning for him to have that hang of regret. We're gonna Dana my wife big Taylor Swift fan says that doesn't seem like a thing she would announce and I'm inclined to agree with that
Starting point is 00:05:30 but I would hate to go against the family. Get Diane on the Zoom. We don't wanna go through all that. Let's get Diane on the Zoom. Where's she at? I will ask her if she's the one that said it. Everybody, can you listen to me text for a minute? Everybody.
Starting point is 00:05:46 No, I'd like to, click, click, click, click. I would like to hear about it. We're recording this episode an hour after we recorded last week's episode. In that hour, have either one of you bought wallabies? No, no. I wanna walk. I'm gonna try them on in real life before.
Starting point is 00:06:02 It's a good idea to try them on. I gotta go to the mall. I'm not going to, and I found the color I'll be getting. It's maple suede. I will not try them on in real life before. It's a good idea to try them on. I gotta go to the mall. I'm not going to and I found the color I'll be getting. It's maple suede. I will not try them on. Maple suede wallabies. I'm gonna cut off those little, the tags that say Clark on the side.
Starting point is 00:06:15 It's like Ghostface named all the colors. Yeah, it is. It really, I mean, brown slate suede. Every color of Wallaby sounds like a Ghostface lyric. Oakmoss. Oakmoss Wallies? Yep. I wore Wallabies for like many years through like college and early until I was living
Starting point is 00:06:35 in New York. And I have to say now that I live in California, I feel like this is much more Wallaby country than the slush and snow of Ohio. Like if you're gonna buy suede shoes, I can't tell you how much I wrecked those shoes. That feels like a rough getting off the subway in late November shoe. Yes, 100%.
Starting point is 00:06:58 It feels much more like, let me go ahead and do some Jeff Daniels cosplay. Wear some big, real light wash jeans and a cardigan. Maybe I'll get wallabies. What if we all just wear wallabies? We should all get wallies. All right, let's all get wallies. I'm excited for fall 2024 is our wallaby era.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I'll wear them to high planes. Honestly, I've been pushing for this since we started this podcast. That's a good point. You have been. You've been waving the wallaby flag. Nobody was into it 2018, but here we are now. David was instrumental in me buying Crocs, so I'll get on the wall. He's never steered
Starting point is 00:07:30 me wrong before. Come on. Take us on a croc walk. Which one did you get? I got, actually we were there together. We went to the mall in the Galleria Americana at Brand. Yes. I mean, I was there yesterday. The best spot in LA. You don't need to tell us yet.
Starting point is 00:07:45 The best spot in the whole city. Yeah, absolutely. And got like some like tie-dye blue ones that honestly are like getting pretty burnt out now. I need to like re-up the Crocs. Listen man, it's a good shoe. We have, in Wilsonville, there's a Croc outlet that I'm gonna go to tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:08:00 A Krautlet? Yeah, outlet there, like whatever, the Wilsonville outlets. Call it Krautlet? Oh, Krautlet, yeah. Would you call it a Krautlet? If a bunch there, or like whatever, in the Wilsonville outlets. Call it a Krautlet? Oh, a Krautlet, yeah. What'd you call it a Krautlet? If a bunch of Germans were there, I would. I was hoping you were gonna spit that water everywhere.
Starting point is 00:08:12 No, I'm gonna go get Maxine some pairs of crocs because her feet are growing so quickly, and I think I'm gonna get myself a pair too. Never had any. Get yourself a pair. I know. Matt, did you know, when you were in that Glendale Galleria that you were walking on holy ground? It's the best. No, I did not.
Starting point is 00:08:30 I don't know why. That is the site of the world's first Panda Express. Wow. I'll have to go back and pray there. Yeah. Yeah. Bow in the direction of a toilet. That's right.
Starting point is 00:08:44 And do it. A very clean toilet of a toilet. That's right. And do. A very clean toilet at the Glendale Galleria. They keep everything pretty tight. Sean Jordan is the one considering getting some crocs. Sean S. Jordan on Twitter. Sean Coogerman on Instagram. Crocs Sean defeat. Now, before I dive into this high planes rhetoric,
Starting point is 00:09:02 it just happens that there's a size 10 and a half, tan combination wallabies on sale for the low price of 80 bucks. Oh my God. That's $100 off. Baby, scoop those up, what are you doing? You would look great in these shoes. I'm gonna, are you looking at the tan?
Starting point is 00:09:15 Scooping Wallies on a podcast. Another Ghost Pace lyric. This comes out a week from tomorrow, so we'll be at High Plains in a week from tomorrow, so we'll be at High Plains in a week. Tonight? Oh, in a week. In a week, I'm pretty sure. So come see us at High Plains tonight.
Starting point is 00:09:34 We have an AFV stand-up show at nine o'clock. I think it's at HQ. Tomorrow night we have a live AFV at six p.m. at HQ. No, in a week. Oh, sorry, in a week, sorry. A week from when this comes out. And then that Saturday, following Saturday, will be a live AFE at Skylark.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Individual tickets better be available by this point. I can't imagine they won't be. We'll have trailblazing exclusive hats. Go ahead and scoop up a pass, too. It's a real fun day. The hats are good, too. The dirt hats are good. Do I hop on a show after the pods?
Starting point is 00:10:03 On one of them, at least. I will. And yeah, the AFE merch, the hats are good too. The dirty hats are good. Do I hop on a show after the pods? On one of them at least, I will. And yeah, the AFE merch, the hats are looking sick. So yeah, come see the boys. We're gonna be in Denver, it's fantastic. David Borey is here. Coolguyjokes87 on Instagram, not on Twitter. That's it.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Where can people see you in real life? I have a special, Birth of a Nation with a the G available for purchase on my Patreon. Patreon.com backslash David Bore, G-B-O-R-I-E. We have now at this point will probably be almost 60 videos up there. All kinds of fun stuff for free in addition to the special. That's it, baby. That's what I want you to, that's where I need you to be. You reveal who killed Kennedy
Starting point is 00:10:48 at the end of the special too, right? That's, come on. It was a brain aneurysm. It was. It was. It was. It was. The timing was terrible.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It exploded. Awful. Aneurysm, Gia Kama. Check the Zapreter film. The Zapreter film shows he has a brain aneurysm right before. Matthew Star is here. Matthew S. Star. MatthewSStar.com. A website I'm currently on. Beautiful layout.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous. What would you like to direct people towards? I have a show that is out. This is coming out, I believe. It should be out now. Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous. What would you like to direct people towards? I have a show that is out. This is coming out, I believe. It should be out now. I have seen listening to this on Audible. It's an Audible original called The Best Man's Ghostwriter.
Starting point is 00:11:33 It's based on my real life experiences of ghostwriting best man speeches for strangers at strangers' weddings. Oh, shit. And it's also starring Glenn Powell and Nicholas Braun and Darcy Carden, Lance Bass. Truly, the Broadway video has did an amazing job with the casting of it. And Sink and the Most Attractive Man in the whole world.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Oh my gosh. That's right. Yeah. Right down Main Street with this. But yeah, it should be out now. I believe all episodes are out streaming on Audible. I don't know if they're on other platforms yet. Audible has not communicated that information to me, which is crazy, because I'm the writer, director,
Starting point is 00:12:11 creator of it, but I'm really excited for it to be out in the world. I'm excited for everybody to hear it. Beautiful. Also, we all have Audible on our phone on accident anyways. Yeah, get in there. Every time I go to get an Audible, it's like you have 15 credits and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:12:26 I feel like I've been paying for this. That's right. All of you, all of you have like that seven dollars a month that's being charged for some reason, that's audible I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Use those credits. You gotta use them for this. Use them for that or t-shirt swim club. But you can also listen to my book, I think on Spotify. So fucking use them on a. I just finished the biography of Miles Davis, also really good. They're doing good work over there. Not as good as Audible, because they haven't, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:55 produced the best man's ghost writer available down on audible.com. I tried to get into that like that, because there was a website, I forget what it was, where you could. Boobs.com. Yeah, it was the Boobs site, actually. Where you could beat off and then go write a best man speech.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Where you could apply to write eulogies and best man speeches and birthday toasts. Well, there was a website you could apply to do all of them and they never took any of my samples. Oh, you wrote samples for it? I tried to get into the best man thing because I was like, how, it's gotta be easy not to besmirch your work. No, honestly, I didn't go in.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I went because I was the best man at my brother's wedding. And I'm from Ohio, so I don't want to brag much, but killed it, you guys. Killed this speech. I believe you. You know, Indiana wedding. They didn't know we hit them. An a way game. Yeah, yeah those yokels in Indiana aren't ready for your Ohio State University brand of charm and humor
Starting point is 00:13:55 And it's one of those times where it's like, you know, it was me and I yeah I was at that point up. I had been doing UCB. I'd been doing comedy for a long time And then it was like the sister of the bride was also, it's like she can go first, it's gonna be fun. Like, here we go. Let her open. Let her rip. We know who they bought tickets to see.
Starting point is 00:14:14 But then did well enough that afterwards, people like went home and then I like, they were like, oh, by the way, I have a friend who has to give a best man speech. I gave him your email. Would you mind talking to him about it? And that's how the whole thing started. Yeah. So you didn't even go through, you just had people hitting you up? It was just a word of mouth.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah. Yo, that's like a real stars boy. That's like two short selling tapes out of his trunk. And I did it. When you help a guy write a best man speech, you think you're just going to be writing jokes for him and you're not. You're helping men figure out why their friends are their friends. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Which it ends up being like a much more like emotional conversation than I think I was really prepared for at the time going into it. You're thinking you're gonna be talking about like beer bongs and like all that kind of stuff and it's like, oh no, he was there for me when my dad was dying and all that stuff. Yeah, exactly. Two of them got caught by the cops and Jason took the heat so he was in prison for five years kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah. He was my first kiss. South Dakota stories. And so that's really what the show's about is it's basically like the movie Hitch but for male friendship, where it's like this guy who's like, look, men don't have any structure in their lives
Starting point is 00:15:22 to emote about each other. And then they're asked at a wedding, like here's's five minutes and then most guys just can't handle it right like most guys get up there and they either say something that's way too inappropriate see more they We will like start crying they'll get too drunk like there's so many things they can do it So this is what this shows all about you Let me ask you I don't think there was a way that you could have pitched it any better for all fantasy everything Then saying it's hitched for male friendships I don't think there was a way that you could have pitched it any better for all fantasy everything Then saying it's hitched for male friendships
Starting point is 00:15:52 That was like a fucking 490 foot home run out of the park. We can we can talk all day about how great the movie hitch is The movie hitch is so good. I think it's perfect. I think it's a perfect movie It's my favorite movie where somebody jet skis to Ellis Island I think it's perfect. I think it's a perfect movie. It's my favorite movie where somebody jet skis to Ellis Island Let me let me ask you this how long is your perfect best man speech? What's the proper length? I would say like three to five minutes. Thank you. I was at this weekend I was at a wedding that I officiated it was like 20 minutes That's too long for almost anything. That's almost too long for a fucking episode
Starting point is 00:16:27 of a TV show, you know? Going back to what you were saying about the, a chance to like emote to their male friends. Sean, I remember at your wedding, where it was this thing where I was like, when Adam went up and talked, and I'm like, you really get to see how much, cause the two of you have been friends from how old,
Starting point is 00:16:44 how old are you like? 10 when you met Adam? I think I met him, no I think I was 15, he was 14. Like, but just like the amount, and I think the two of you are probably pretty good at communicating with each other about how much you mean to one another anyway. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:59 But still having that moment and just being like, damn, like you really get to see, it was really touching. Nice, those are goosebumps, those are real goosebumps. Somebody trying to process how much being like, damn, you really get to see. It was really touching. It's nice, those are goosebumps. Those are real goosebumps. Somebody trying to process how much a friend means to him. It was one of my favorite moments. And he did a good job.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Matthew said, sometimes they do a really bad job. Sometimes they don't do a bad job. Yeah. But it's those moments of real emotion are precious. I feel like we're a very emotional, I'd speak for myself, I'm extremely emotional, open about it. I love it. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:30 I love getting teary-eyed and telling people how rad they are. I think it's amazing. I don't know why people have a problem doing it, honestly. Right there with you. But also, I've been to a wedding where it was all my high school friends, and it was two of my high school friends getting married,
Starting point is 00:17:43 and one of them was giving the speech for the other one, I was present for all the stories and it was just kind of like Boy, how long is this going on? Georgia then we got fucked up in New York Wasn't they're getting fucked up with you it's not really that fun. Yeah You're even giving us too much credit. The stories were like, oh, do you remember that time you broke your collarbone? Like, alright, like, cool, on to the next thing. It was a lovely wedding.
Starting point is 00:18:16 It was a lovely wedding. It was crazy. It was a weird wedding, but it was a lovely wedding. My name is Ian Carmel. Anything else? I mean, that's the primary place we'd like to drive people, but anything else you want people to check out? Instagram Matthew S. Starr. I'm posting stand-up clips and stuff on there every once in a while and all that.
Starting point is 00:18:32 But for right now, we're gonna push people towards the Glenn Powell project. I think people are a little more excited about that than anything I'm gonna say. He's hot. He's hot. Hot as a magma. He's so hot, it comes up every episode of the podcast. I think for our last 8 to 10 episodes. Yeah. Maybe since Top Gun.
Starting point is 00:18:52 You know what Glenn Powell is? A good get. Got yourself a good get right there. Not to dwell on Glenn here. Not that he needs any help with RPR or anything like that. He came on board like right after Top Gun, right? Yeah. And we were thrilled. Couldn't have been more excited to have him.
Starting point is 00:19:10 And I would tell people, like I would tell friends, like, what are you working on? I'm like, oh, I'm working with Glenn Powell on a thing. And they'd go, who? And I'm like, you know, the gorgeous man from Top Gun Maverick. And they're like, oh, okay. And then I was, fast forward to like this spring after Anyone But but you after hitman and all of that I was doing a show and like a high school friend came and I was like, I have the show coming out It's with with Glenn Powell and she was standing next to her husband and she went he's my hall pass
Starting point is 00:19:37 Like crazy she's like I'll fuck him instead of my husband And he's probably they're like he was like me too. He's also instead of my husband. Yeah, in a second. And he's probably there like, yeah. And he was like, me too, he's also my home ass. Yeah, and the guy was like, yeah, I'm cool with it, yeah. Like that's how big and how fast it went, like from like October to like April. He exploded.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah. I'm an everybody, we go back to everybody wants him. He's fucking killer. Everybody wants him. He's amazing in that. And the setup, right? He was the resonator, or set it up. Set it up.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Set it up, yeah, yeah. Wow, real gunpowder heads here, I love it. Oh yeah. Let's gunpowder heads here. I love it. Oh, yeah Brother yeah My name's caramel at gone. No all right. I have an update Diane Sam's did not say that Kate Sam's told me that Rob had a dream about it, so I made it up completely It was a dream that my brother-in-law had and And I'm out here spewing it like it's actual, like she said she was having a baby.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Sorry Ian, what do you have coming up? Let's forget I said anything. No, it's funny that he had a dream. Are you kidding me? He had a very reasonable dream that Taylor Swift said she was thinking about having kids. Uh-huh. And then you turn that into.
Starting point is 00:20:40 She's doing it. She's doing it. Taylor Swift has announced. I am nothing if not honest. I've told multiple people that too. I She's doing it. She's doing it. Taylor Swift has announced. I am nothing if not honest. I've told multiple people that too. I really gotta watch it. My wife said, I'm gonna say no. She's mentioned wanting to have kids with people in songs,
Starting point is 00:20:52 but only Joe Alwyn and Maddie Healy. I have citations if needed. That's coming from Dana Schwartz. You can tell her my brother-in-law had a dream about it. I can't wait. I can't wait. It's our anniversary. We're gonna go to dinner tonight,
Starting point is 00:21:04 and that's all I'm gonna spend, It's our anniversary. We're gonna go to dinner tonight and that's all I'm gonna spend, that's all I'm gonna talk about. That and can you believe this, Homess? Read my book, T-Shirt Swim Club, available everywhere. The national best seller T-Shirt Swim Club. Written with my little sister. It's a good book.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Sean likes it. By the time you listen to this, I imagine I'll be done. Yeah. I'll put it into overdrive because someone on Twitter attacked me, I think. I saw it. Well, they challenged you.
Starting point is 00:21:31 They challenged me. They challenged you. And then if you don't do that, I'm gonna have to go to the Adirondacks or something like that? And they believe that was part of it? I don't know. That's it.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Come see us at High Plains. Read that book. And then all my other moves are behind the scenes right now. Now we are gathered here. Rosal Gull. To discuss me being Rosal Gull, but rather to fantasy draft wedding guests. Rosal Jewel.
Starting point is 00:21:54 The kind of guests who show up at weddings. Now, I have a big list, but I want to ask you guys, did you interpret this as guests you hope are at a wedding or just guests at a wedding by virtue of them being the most guests at a wedding? Does that make sense? I think that's a really important distinction. Sometimes there's someone at a wedding where you're like, boy, they are fucking here and that's a type,
Starting point is 00:22:20 but I don't necessarily. I didn't do that. I did put my favorite archetypes. When you meet this person at a wedding, you're like, oh, thank God, this is the blank. Yeah, I took a couple real examples. And yeah, you know, like I drew from reality. One is aspirational.
Starting point is 00:22:37 One is one that like, We're not talking like a person like Bruno Mars at my, we're not talking that way. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. No, when I say like a type of a person at a wedding Mars at my, we're not talking that, right? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. No, when I say like a type of a person at a wedding, but like maybe you're not necessarily the most excited to see that kind of person.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although sometimes that can also be good. Oh, no, I need people, all these people I wanna see. Okay, great, me too. On mine. This is important, I'm glad that we figured this out. I thought we had to lay it out. I thought we had to lay it out,
Starting point is 00:23:01 because sometimes, like sometimes, the person who is the most a wedding guest isn't necessarily the best guest at a wedding. A hundred percent. You know what I mean? Sometimes the wedding, it's a reflection of all of our foibles. Yeah. You know, like, when it's like,
Starting point is 00:23:17 this guy is the worst of all of us in the room. My past has decided to manifest itself as an individual and show up at a wedding. Yeah, sometimes you get the guy who's a little too regional. Yeah. We're good. Oh, this is my hometown wedding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah. All right, all right. We'll get into it. The way we determine the order of the draft is a rollicking game of rock, paper, scissors. Play between the three of you and we throw on shoot. Here we go. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Oh, three different ones. Here we go. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Oh, three different ones. Here we go again. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Three same, here we go again. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Oh, fuck. Okay, David wins an unnatural victory, a paper against two scissors, flying in the face of God.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But David, as the winner of rock, paper, scissors, it is incumbent upon you to determine the order of today's draft. But before you do that, I need to remind you, it is a serpentine draft. And what is that? That's a great question. You put your dog out in the yard,
Starting point is 00:24:16 you say, go poop in the yard. And so you watch the dog walk out in the yard, and watching them try to find a place to poop sort of goes in a serpentine fashion. They'll walk down the yard a little bit, they'll sniff, they'll go up a little bit, they'll walk all the yard a little bit, they'll sniff, they'll go up a little bit, they'll walk all the way back, kinda sniff in, and then they'll go up a little more,
Starting point is 00:24:29 kinda sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, and then walk across the yard. And then eventually they take a poop. Yeah, okay. Succinct. Another perfect example. There's like, well-prepared death kings there.
Starting point is 00:24:39 No extra word. They wouldn't get it. Wait, there's lots of, yeah, they would, they'd get it. Basically, what it means is if you pick fourth in the first round, you pick first in the second round. Now David, with that in mind, what would the order of today's draft be? I'm going David, Sean, Matthew, Ian.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Hot corner. I'm going last. David Boyer, you have the first pick in the wedding guests, all fans here, but they draft, and we will get to that first pick right after the short break. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Now we keep talking about it, but getting into holidays, self-care
Starting point is 00:25:15 at this time of the year is so important. It's the most important, I feel like, out of any time. It's always important, but right now, especially so. And you have those things that you don't want to skip. You know, you have those things that like, you got to do for yourself. Like I always say, mine's hiking. I like to skate.
Starting point is 00:25:32 I even like walking around the mall. That's a big thing. That's almost like a non-negotiable for me. I got to, I got to do it. Your boy's got to get his steps in. And if you got your schedules packed with kids activities and work projects and all that, it's extremely easy to let the priorities slip.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And you know, when you know what makes you happy, sometimes it's even hard to make time for it. But when you feel like you have no time for yourself, that's when it's honestly the most important. Talking to someone, having therapy once a week, be something that is a non-negotiable, can be extremely helpful. I say it all every week, but I've never talked to somebody
Starting point is 00:26:04 who was upset that they went or tried therapy. It's just good to have a new set of ears. can be extremely helpful. I say it all every week, but I've never talked to somebody who was upset that they went or tried therapy. It's just good to have a new set of ears. You got someone to vent to, to kvetch as it were, and they're not gonna judge you. It's a judge-free zone. They're not gonna weigh in with opinions from 20 years ago because they've known you so long.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Just get a new set of ears on the problems. You know what I mean? And if you're starting therapy, get BetterHelp a try. Go on and try it, why don't you? It's entirely online, it's convenient, flexible, it's suited to your schedule. You just fill out a brief questionnaire and you're gonna get matched with a licensed therapist.
Starting point is 00:26:35 You can switch at any time. They want you to have the best experience. They want a therapist to work for you. No additional charge, obviously, to switch.

Starting point is 00:29:50 Yeah, they did it. All of the stuff was bolted to the floor. Yeah, and they had like a rotating room and moving walkways, right? Yeah, change the hat game too. He sure did. Audible said not to turn in 10 episodes that it's two minutes of talking
Starting point is 00:30:03 and then just 28 minutes of Jamiroquai's virtual insanity and I was like, this is my art. Don't tell me how to live my life. They'll be laughing all the way to the bank. You know Jamiroquai's the band and not the dude? Yes, I did know that. It's one of those situations. I did know that. It's like a Drew Hill kind of thing. Yeah, that's that one's fucked up What is the Alice Cooper and Drew Hill are both fucked up situations? Yeah? Yeah, yeah Hold on go on. I if I didn't know this about Alice Cooper I imagine a lot of people listening didn't what his name's not Alice Cooper I didn't know that
Starting point is 00:30:45 What's his name, what's his name then His name is Glenn Glenn His name is also Matthew star no his name is Vincent Fern um. Glen Powell? Glen Powell, yeah. It's Glen Powell. His name is also Matthew Star. No, his name is Vincent Fernier. Wow. Or Fernier. But he started going by Alice Cooper after everyone just started calling him Alice Cooper anyway,
Starting point is 00:31:15 but the band's name was Alice Cooper. I think I knew that from watching Supermensch. That's also what I knew it from, which is a great documentary. Man, so good. Oh man, check that out everybody. Sounds like I got all I need to know, but sure. Damn, there's a lot more in there.
Starting point is 00:31:33 You wanna know about Hawaiian real estate, you gotta watch it. Oh, Supermensch is, it's about, yeah, nevermind, we've talked about it. Mike Myers made it about his old manager, something like that? Yeah, I think so. He invented the celebrity chef?
Starting point is 00:31:44 This guy's out here. That's all I was gonna say. Yeah, I think so he invented the celebrity chef guys out here say David you have the first pick our first pick this was heavy in this wedding that I did last weekend I am taking and this is a group. So tell me if this is okay. I'm taking the opposite coasters So like we were in California. There was a whole group of Floridians, and they let it be known, baby. And it's always like semi adversarial, and you're like, these fucking Ohio boys. Or whichever group it is, there's always like a group that came from far away and they stick together,
Starting point is 00:32:20 and that's what I'm picking. They're always repping the place they're from, as though that isn't just a specific thing about their family. Yeah, that was what, that was this wedding this weekend. I do think in the detail here that they're from Florida is important because if it's like Nebraska, you're like, I don't want to hang, you know? Yeah, well, okay, so that was the problem, not the problem. That was the thing of this group.
Starting point is 00:32:41 They were from Miami, so they were cool as shit. So they shut down the dance floor. Yeah. With Miami dances, which I can fudge a lot of dances. I can fudge it to a lot of music. But when they're like dancing, dancing, every song was the Miami Megamix. Every song.
Starting point is 00:33:00 So the DJ was in on it? The DJ, it felt like he was in on it. See, that's a problem. That's a problem. Then it becomes... California was looking bad out here. Well, we don't have wedding music. We don't have wedding music. This is weed beach music.
Starting point is 00:33:13 We have, you know what the San Francisco people did? We smoked a bunch of weed outside. Yeah, you were forced to. You had to go strength on strength. We were beat off the dance floor. We had to hold the beach, you know what I mean? So you got beat off on the dance floor? Is that what I overheard?
Starting point is 00:33:30 I fucking wish these Miami people were gorgeous. What's the point? Hey, puppy. The point is like, yeah, there's always like a regional group from very far away that makes things very fun. Because I do notice, you do notice weddings are a lot of times Kinda is very group based
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah, every group based you have clicks. Yeah for sure. Yeah, and it's very much like a click There is a click who will win the wedding Yes Fun table like they're the fun table. I guess the other coat. Yeah, I love that I think this is a great choice. Amazing first choice. Thank you. Was there a moment, and I don't think any of them are gonna listen to this,
Starting point is 00:34:10 when you were like, all right, reel it in a little bit. Yes, yes, during the speeches. All right, come on, you're cheering. I understand. You guys went to UCF, I get it. It converged on, hey, this isn't about you. You know what I mean? Or it's like, all right, the dance floor
Starting point is 00:34:26 is a great place for it. But there's times when you're like, too nauseous. But they were also super supportive, so it was cool. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's also something though about like, I'm sure that's the most Florida they've ever been in their lives.
Starting point is 00:34:39 You know what I mean? Like if you were to talk to them in Miami, they would be like, hi, I'm a doctor, nice to meet you. But like at this wedding. Right, my name is James. This wedding, they're like, Miami, like if you were to talk to them in Miami, they would be like, hi, I'm a doctor, nice to meet you. But like at this wedding, this wedding they're like, Miami, like, let's go. Like, give me a needle on Miami, you know. Yeah, we're playing Wilson of Pitbull songs. They're cooking cubanos with the candles on the table.
Starting point is 00:34:55 That's how we felt. Like, they were, and they were just, they were like during the speeches, because I was the officiant, I crushed. And then one of the speeches, the guy made a joke that was not as good as any of mine, and he was like, we have jokes too in Miami, and it's like, okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:35:13 We know you got jokes down there. I don't know if you do have jokes in Miami. I think many things of Miami, but I've never liked the bustling comedy scene. Yeah, you got something around the books down there. You know how funny everyone in Miami is? What do you have to be funny about? The mile long sand beaches?
Starting point is 00:35:27 Art Basel, very funny. Art Basel's hilarious. Notoriously. Notoriously. The existence of manatees? That's more of a miracle than funny. But yeah, it's just, it's a narrative I've seen played out in a million, every wedding I've ever been to.
Starting point is 00:35:43 It's always fun, but yeah, the opposite coasters. Who is the funniest person from Florida? It's Luis Guzman from Florida somehow. He might be. There's a connection, at least, right? Yeah, that's where he gets his linens. Oh, he's from Puerto Rico. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Southern Florida. Comedians from Puerto Rico. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah southern, Florida Comedians from Florida. Hold on Eric Andre, okay This thing says Dulce's from Florida, I don't know is that true that I know I don't say could be She speaks Spanish. Yeah, I'll say it was from Georgia for some reason. She definitely lives there. No, she raps Atlanta. Dulce could be from anywhere, we all know that. She could be from Sioux Falls.
Starting point is 00:36:29 No, I guess I didn't mean anyway. Brian Regan was born in Miami. I didn't mean any of that. If you could give me 60 guesses and tell me to guess which state Brian Regan is from, and I still wouldn't land on Florida. I would just say other states twice. Yeah, are you sure you're not from Texas?
Starting point is 00:36:48 He's got a joke about Pensacola, so I might have got there in like 10 guesses. This thing right here says born in Miami. Sean Jordan, time for your first pick. The opposite coast is a great pick. Yeah, dude. So I like seeing this. It doesn't necessarily make the wedding better,
Starting point is 00:37:03 but I just, for me, I love it it I like seeing the guy who thinks it's okay to wear shorts as dress up attire Yeah, oh, I love it. I love it so where you're like The shirt could maybe work if you were wearing pants But you're not and there's no there's no such thing as dress up shorts. And I love it. This is like a Crunchwrap Supreme, where there's the regular Crunchwrap Supreme that we're all thinking of. And then there's also the version where it's restaurants
Starting point is 00:37:33 who do a really fancy Crunchwrap Supreme. Because if you're doing like a Maui Beach wedding and somebody rolls in with some linen shorts with a blazer, classy. Yeah. I think we're all talking about the Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell here, aren't we?'re all talking about the Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell here, aren't we?
Starting point is 00:37:46 I'm talking about like a Morton building. He's also wearing a tucked in Under Armour Polo, am I right? Yes. And you're just like, and also a lot of times the partner will be dressed up properly and you're like, brother. That's the craziest part! She hates what you're wearing.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Where it's like you guys left the hotel together. Yeah. She looked at you. And you'd have looked like her Uber driver at this point. And you're just at the wedding weather. It blows my mind. And you know what's real love? Is that she packed the outfit for him.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Yeah. That's what real love is. Is like, yeah, I accept you. I accept you for your underarm or polo and your cold shorts. Yeah. And your hey shorts. Yeah. And your Hey Dudes.
Starting point is 00:38:26 He's wearing Hey Dudes shoes. And your Hey Dudes, for sure the Hey Dudes. I just found out about Hey Dudes earlier this year. What are Hey Dudes? Wow, they were, it's a South Dakota company. I just know the TV show. Really? No, I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I'm just kidding. You've never, you've seen them. If you Google Hey Dudes shoes, they're like almost like a, like a. They look like they're hemp. Yeah, they look like they're made of hemp. To two. Am I gonna wanna buy a pair of these too? No. I don't think you will.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I don't think so. Okay. No shade. No shade if you love a Hey Dude. Yeah, I just, I like that guy who thinks short and plenty of south Dakota wedding. I like this pic. I like this pic just because it like keeps the vibe of the wedding like tolerable like if everybody's too nice
Starting point is 00:39:09 This gets a point where wedding could be like alright this wedding is a little full of itself Yeah, there's one guy wearing shorts like okay this wedding still is like approachable. Yeah, also. He's there You know there he's there. That's the whole point. That's the most important thing and you know what he's usually there pretty late Yeah, that guy ain't going That's the most important thing and you know what he's usually they're pretty late Yeah He might even have what you need so I feel like this something that happens. What do you do if you're at the bar and he walks up to you and he goes Hey, it's cool. I'm wearing shorts, right? How do you how do you respond? That's a great question. Absolutely it is.
Starting point is 00:39:46 What am I gonna be like? No, bro. Is this the same guy? Have you- And I always- I notice this. I don't know if this is a bad thing. It's just a thing I have noticed. Do you ever notice when there's like- Because there's like before the ceremony you're milling about, the person who sits down to the ceremony with a drink?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Oh yeah. Well, that's a guy. I feel like it's the same guy. It's indeed the same guy. Oh yeah, a lot of these are mix and match. I feel like the further we get in. Well that guy might be an opposite coaster for sure too. That might be coming from Flack & Brewer. The shorts could say Miami right across the budget.
Starting point is 00:40:17 He's like, this is how we do it in Miami. This is how we dress in eastern South Carolina or western South Carolina. Yeah, no, I've sat down to the drink at the ceremony. I mean, well, whatever I will if we talk about it We talked about it, but I've been that guy for sure Matt time for your first pick all right, I thought about this a lot and Knowing that we can pick kind of groups of people does influence this a little bit for me
Starting point is 00:40:39 Um, I think I gotta go with it's either a lone Um, I think I gotta go with it's either a lone friend of the groom or a friend of the groom and his wife who left their kids at home. Ooh, yes. That's a great pick. That's a great pick. Uh, those two people will not waste this night. They are, this is their chance. They will be there at the beginning. They're gonna dance to every song. They're gonna enjoy They're gonna clink the glasses those two people will like they will not have a bad time No, because they're not because they can't you know what I mean? They got one shot it's fucking they gotta get the missile into the into the air vent on the Death Star They got one shot to do. Yeah, there's tornado sirens going off
Starting point is 00:41:26 and they're like, no, we're dancing. We ain't going anywhere. And I feel like they need to have two or more kids. Like if they just have the one kid, that's one thing. Maybe that's unfair, but like if the kids are at home, I like, I have cousins who are like this who I adore. And I've talked to them about this where they came to California.
Starting point is 00:41:42 I thought they were here with their kids. And it turns out they came with like a bunch of other couples who also left their kids at home. And I have never been to a crazier party. We showed up like we had like baked cookies and they were like, they were like, there's cocaine over here. They're like, cool, thanks for the cookies. I think somebody has, I think somebody has mushrooms. With like Steven's jaw, so the guy's going back and forth.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Give him something to do with that jaw. I love this couple too, because they also want everybody else to have fun. I've seen that couple where if you're a single person at the wedding, they're like, you should fuck the bridesmaid. Big time. It's dinner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:24 They're like bringing you a drink. I've seen my older brother turn into this dude, and it's dinner. Yeah. Dude, they're like bringing you a drink. I've seen my older brother turn into this dude, and it's great. Yeah. He's already got a little bit of this. He wants everybody to have a good time. A lot of everyone wants everybody to have a good time. But when he's off the leash, they get it in. I love that.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Efficiency. That's a great pick. Yeah, I got a wedding coming up in October where I go alone, no wife, no kids. Yeah, I'm going to be there. I'm worried for you. They're counting on you. They're counting in October where I go I go alone. No wife. No kid. Yeah, I'm gonna be there I'm worried for you. They're counting on you. They're counting on you They're gonna get what they paid for. Yeah, they might get a new suit jacket out of the whole deal. Yeah Bring the Lord of some of these she doesn't want to go man traveling with a kid is the dumbest thing anyone's ever done in the World, I don't know why anybody would ever do it. It's the suit doesn't come kid does not come well
Starting point is 00:43:03 She's not old enough. I don't trust it yet. All right. Yeah. Well, you know better than I. What are you doing? I wanna go alone. Yeah, that's okay. I know, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:43:11 That's what I'm doing right now. She wasn't bummed about it at all. And so I was like, tight, I'm not gonna pressure you. You don't wanna go. Everybody was stoked. Time for my first pick. I'm going to take, very specifically, the girls the bride went to college with.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Oh, brother. Okay. Dangerous. This can be, it's a dangerous choice. This can be, and I'm a happily married man, and I mean this as a happily married man. I wanna see other people. I wanna open my relationship. Dana?
Starting point is 00:43:46 Sometimes it's a sorority. It's sister situations. Sometimes it's not. It's so funny to watch them revert back. It's when they get around each other and then all of a sudden these old habits start bubbling back up. Old dynamics start to get to play. You get amazing speeches usually from one of them. Sometimes the speech is way too long and too revealing from one of us. They're so much better than guys at doing it. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:44:13 It's just, it's less threatening. It's absolutely less threatening and more fun to watch. They're just like, they turn, oftentimes will turn into drunken messes. It's just so fun. And I'm thinking specifically if my wife's younger sister got married last year. And when you meet someone in that way, you're like, you know them. I know her as my wife's younger sister, who's very funny and cool, but not like a crazy party animal.
Starting point is 00:44:39 And then you meet all the people she went to college with and you're like, oh, oh, oh, oh, they fucking get after it. Okay, like there's people like shotgunning beers. They don't even have cans of beer anywhere. Like, oh, you brought that in. Like it's that kind of thing. I just fucking love seeing it. They're gonna keep the party going.
Starting point is 00:44:56 A lot of times it's cause of the swing too, because before the wedding, they are like, they know how to arrange the flowers. They have been in charge of taking care of the makeup. One of them did her hair. One of like they, like to arrange the flowers, they have been in charge of taking care of the makeup, one of them did her hair, one of like they, like at my wedding, my wife's friends from college were like the bridesmaids, and they could have like destabilized
Starting point is 00:45:12 a foreign government together. They were so on top of their shit. And then by the reception, you know, they've all been so run through with that, like everybody's so willing to drink and all the old stuff comes up up exactly what you're talking about. Like it is part of the swing of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah. It is one of the most fun anthropological things to watch happen. I just love it. And then the my second pick is somewhat related to this. It's going to be the old guy who still got it. Oh, I had that on my list. Yeah. Had that on my list. And I think this is like 60 and above,
Starting point is 00:45:49 and it's the dude who could go either way, but then you see him out there and he still fucking got it. He's getting hammered, he's out there smoking. I'm thinking of my dad specifically, I think of my wedding. Oh yeah, smoking boo. Smoking boo. Smoking weed on the outside,
Starting point is 00:46:05 hanging in there with all the young people, telling people like it is. I think often, oftentimes we think like, oh, his partying days are probably behind him, you know? And I've never really seen my dad like get after it like that before. And then this one night comes and you're like, oh shit, the old guy still got it.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Who was his buddy who was up there in the dressing room with them? I don't even know. And then this one night comes and you're like, oh shit, the old guy still got it. Who was his buddy who was up there in the dressing room with them? I don't even know. Do you remember that Sean when we were up there? Yeah, it was his sister there.

Starting point is 00:46:46 pouring sweat Hanging out but like there's and I've seen all sorts of different varieties of it too And then you get them on the dance floor and sometimes they're trouble out there on the dance floor But I just love seeing a dude who you thought was too old to party like that Still party like that definitely old guy who still got it They give like a younger person the proper advice to go talk to a girl at the wedding or something. They're like, just go over there, give it a shot. And you're like, all right. Matt, time for your second pick.
Starting point is 00:47:13 All right. Second pick. This is based on a specific family member. But I feel like everyone has this at every wedding. Maybe I'm wrong. It's a cousin who's probably like a festival kind, like like a music festival kind of a cousin, who just finished medical school. Oh. I like that. It's like, are you a, like they're like, I'm a doctor now. And it's like, I don't think you are. And they're like, take this.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And then you like eating like, okay, well these are the best drugs that I've ever had. Yeah. And I trust you because you're a doc, you're saying you're a doctor. And I believe that the, I believe you know where these came from. But somebody like that, where it's like,
Starting point is 00:47:49 somebody younger than you, who is about to become an adult, but isn't quite an adult yet, I guess, is the person. They have one foot in each world. Yeah. That is a good guy. You will often, I will get startled. I just went to my buddy Shocker's wedding,
Starting point is 00:48:03 and he's younger, he's like, I'm 39, he's 20, late 20s. I forget get startled. I just went to my buddy Shocker's wedding, and he's younger, he's like, you know, I'm 39, he's 20, late 20s, I forget. I think Shocker's about to be 30. I think so. But I met a bunch of his like, you know, college friends and stuff like that who were all right, you know, I had either jest on that or were on the cusp of it.
Starting point is 00:48:20 And you're like, you, you're a lawyer? You're an attorney in Miami? But you're 29, what the, and like, of course, there are people that age who are attorneys in Miami, but in my fucking common Seattle brain, I was like, that's impossible. 60 year olds are lawyers. It's just always shocking to see those kind of people.
Starting point is 00:48:36 And also someone who is like, okay, and drink this orange juice because it'll help the, it'll help the, like, it'll help the come down a little bit more, like, you take this, I brought you the supplement as well. The citric acid combines with the psilocybin. It'll help the high like it'll help to come down a little bit more like I brought you the supplement as well The Molly is going to rob this present precious nutrient from your brain So if you take this you won't have you won't have the depression the two days I like you wake up the next day feeling fantastic
Starting point is 00:48:57 Like better than you've ever felt even though you were up drinking till four in the morning just because they've like pumped you so full Also a relationship that can't continue past that wedding night. I've met somebody like that, then you try to like talk to them like on Instagram a couple months later. It's just not. No. We just had that one because they're forgetting to be a doctor. They don't want it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Because you try to keep it going, I'm gonna be in Atlanta. It's like I'll be studying it. Again, not to blow up anybody's spot here, but that cousin of mine is getting married in March. And I'm honestly scared of the wedding. I'm honestly scared for this wedding. He's getting married, like, in a place where just the combination of like family and also his friends, knowing what his friends do to party and also also that my aunt is gonna be there. I'm like, this is gonna be a tightrope walk.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Love it. That's gonna be great. Can we come to that one? Yeah, seriously. We'll book the show and be there. Sean, your second pick. I gotta pick the little kids that go absolutely berserk on the dance floor. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Oh yeah, that's funny. Who doesn't love seeing it? Just kids who aren't, sure they're dancing. Dancing is dancing, who might have put you in a box, but they're just going and flipping out on the dance floor. It's just the most fun. It's like raw, pure fun. I forget, I think it was my nephew, my brother.
Starting point is 00:50:17 You know, like he'll let him have a soda every now and then, but at my wedding, it was like open season. You can have as much like donuts, cake, soda as you want. And he was like, fuck, he's super sane. Like, you know what, like his pupils were white and just running all over the place, just like dancing. He looks like the old men who were drunk. Just like the shirts have buttons, the tie's off.
Starting point is 00:50:42 That's what it is, they're doing the same shit but one of them's on sugar. I want to be like, cocaine would be healthier. The amount of sugar he's had tonight. He should just get into a bump. But yeah, they fucking dance. It's not a dance. It's just like...
Starting point is 00:50:57 They just go nuts, and they take little like marathon runner slash fighter in the middle of a boxing match water breaks, where it's like a necessity, and then they run back on the dance floor and go nuts again. So fun to see. Oh yeah, we hear the goal thing like, bup, bup, bup. Yeah, they run over and they're like, do you have a glass, and just slam it, and then go back, and you're like,
Starting point is 00:51:14 you just walk over there. That's also the best time to talk to them is to get that in-game interview. How's it going out there, Jace? I gotta get back out there. I gotta go play in the song they had on Bluey. That's where I gotta go. I love you.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Did you see? I was flossing with Queerpa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It also, like, totally justifies, like, the YMCA still being on the playlist. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:41 It justifies the Macarena. Like, to get to teach that to a kid, it's like, I don't wanna, like, I was just at a family function and like we had to teach the kids the Macarena. And I'm like, this is the hardest I've danced the Macarena in easily for 20 years, you know? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Like, it was a blast. Great time. Yeah, that's a good song. It's a fun one. Great song, yeah. That's an excellent picture, I'll join. David, time for your second and third picks. All right, so my second pick, this is similar to the people who have the kid
Starting point is 00:52:11 that they're away from. I'm taking the reformed bad boy cousin who's back for one night. You know what I'm saying? Where it's like, oh yeah, James used to go to juvie all the time. But now he's good, now he's good. He worked his way up in Home Depot
Starting point is 00:52:25 He manages. He's a regional manager good guy, but tonight tonight Where's that cocaine? He might get in a fight. Yeah, get in a fucking fight He just looks like he's tense and but he's smiling. You're like, oh, why's that guy nervous? Yeah. Like, he might start rapping. Like, it's all happening for him. And that's like...
Starting point is 00:52:52 He also never shines brighter than like, hey, the bar, we ran out of booze and he's like, give me a second. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Goal oriented. Yeah, absolutely. It's like, yeah. Hey, they're gonna shut down the bar at 10. Hold on. Comes back. We got it to one. Hey, they're gonna shut down the bar at 10. Hold on. Comes back.
Starting point is 00:53:05 We got it to one. What? Yeah. I got the keys. I got the keys right here. He's cool. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Cause you need that guy. You need that guy. And he never gets to be that guy. And a wedding is a safe place for him to let out that energy. And I like, weddings and funerals are sorta similar in the guest vibe. But like, I was at a funeral not that long ago. And a like weddings and funerals are sort of similar in the guest vibe, but like I was at a funeral not that long ago and a buddy of ours walked up
Starting point is 00:53:28 and I felt myself get a little nervous because he's gnarly, or was gnarly, and then a little part of me felt super alive where I'm like, okay, I still got it, and I'm like, whatever happens, happens, let's have the night. And it's a fun little feeling you get. Yeah, those guys are exciting to get,
Starting point is 00:53:44 like to see get loose. A lot of that on my mom's side of the family. A lot of you on that, dude. Yeah, that was my dad's side. They just never reformed. They were just like, they never changed. A lot of like, they're dressed nice, but it's not quite, it doesn't all quite go together,
Starting point is 00:54:04 but they're like definitely making more of an effort. You know what I mean? Like, you know the exact kind. You know what it is? It's a dude with a black dress shirt and a red tie, where you're like, fucking A! You know what I mean? You're like, this is, this is kinda fucked up.
Starting point is 00:54:18 You're like, like, like, like, like, Shug Knight would dress up and you're like, I don't know about all that. That's exactly, that's exactly, no jacket? No jacket? No. No jacket. No. Oh god. Oh that's a fucking... I've had this outfit since junior prom. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It works. That's the night I got her pregnant. Yeah. Yeah. Saying it just like that too. Saying it all out at dinner with people he doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. God bless that dude. Yeah, that's a great guy. I love that guy third pick. Okay, my third pick. Oh, come on This could be a guy or a girl Usually I love the weed person Yeah at the wedding like everybody knew so-and-so was gonna be the weed person before Like everybody knew so-and-so was gonna be the weed person before. When we're talking, when we're coming to the wedding, I'm like, man, I hope Crystal's gonna have some weed. You're gonna have some weed, right?
Starting point is 00:55:11 And like it's the same person, everybody goes to them, they get everybody secretly high at first and then outwardly high at the end. I love the, it's like you're providing an essential service for this wedding, I love it. By the end of the night, it's like the you're providing an essential service for this wedding, I love it. By the end of the night, it's like the watering hole in the Serengeti, you know what I mean? Where it's just like, grandma's over there?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yeah, right. You know, like, all sorts of people are gathered around it. By the way, you know who I think that was at your wedding was either Zack Tuscani or Katie Nolan. Really? Oh, sorry. Katie got it so high at your wedding. How did they have Katie Nolan? That, sorry. Katie got us all high at your wedding. How do I have Katie Nolan?
Starting point is 00:55:47 That's sneaky. Which is, it's also, like the wedding develops a shorthand too. We were like, go see Katie. Exactly. Exactly. Oh, you want to, yeah, go see Katie. They're like, where'd you get it? And I'm like, just go see Katie.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Just go see Katie. And she knows. When somebody's walking up to her who wouldn't normally be walking up to her,'s like yeah, right this way. Yeah, because she's always like doing something cool Yeah Let me finish my fucking hand first Guards for some reason have some decorum I love that even in this age of legal and very accessible weed,
Starting point is 00:56:26 that that is still a person at weddings, because it is. It is, it is. And it's awesome, and it's like, I love going into the wedding knowing that so-and-so is gonna be there. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It can be scary going in and not knowing.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Then you might have to get your own. But you also don't necessarily wanna be that person. No, I don't. You have to, because you have't you you have to be I'm not capable of being that person There are people who can handle that I can't handle that you can't be in the bridal party Be that person you can't be and be that person I grew up so square that I like if I can like bring like sneak a pack of edibles into a wedding and be like I can cut you a slice of an edible You know what I mean? Like there is like a weird kind of vicarious joy
Starting point is 00:57:07 for me to be that person at a wedding. Oh yeah. But, but boy, it's to feed the whole wedding? Oh, that's, it's too much responsibility. Hehehehe, cause then it's like, cause it also requires an actual amount of drugs then. That's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Of course, like, and a commitment to smoke with, cause a lot of the people at weddings, they don't just want commitment to smoke with because a lot of the people at weddings They don't just want weed to smoke. They want someone to smoke with So you also have to be that person. You know what I'm saying? Like it's not just like here's here's a bowl go off and do your thing. It's like yeah. Yeah, let's go smoke a joint Right, so can't let the wedding get too stoned. No, you can't. Cause that'll kill a vibe, that'll kill a vibe. You can't, you can't let it, I don't think any public thing should be too stoned.
Starting point is 00:57:49 No, it ruins it. Yeah. Sean Jordan, your third pick. Sorry Dave Matthews fan. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry fish that I've been following on the road. The newer trend of having the officiant be somebody
Starting point is 00:58:06 that the wedding knows the bride or the groom. I love having a wedding officiant that's not like a religious figure or something like that. You know. I'm talking about you. No, I'm joking, I had a rabbi of mine. Well yeah, I mean. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:58:21 It's a very traditional wedding. Well I was doing a little joke and now I feel like we've gotten serious. And why were you doing that? And I'm sorry. Out of curiosity, why would you do a joke? Comedy podcast. Oh, crap. You're right.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Yeah, I just, I enjoy it. I'm not, really I'm talking about deep Catholic weddings that I grew up going to where it's mass and then you have a wedding and the person, it's so like trite, is that the right word? Where it's just like, it just doesn't mean, it's just for, you know, it's so, it's not personal at all.
Starting point is 00:58:49 I just love seeing people have their friends do it and having done it a couple times myself, it's such a fun thing to do. Yeah, I just did it this weekend. It's great when the ceremony is loose. Yeah. Because you can kind of cut through some of that really serious stuff that's going on.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Of course. And the crying and the stuff like that It's like I do I love I love a good wedding officiant But I've seen I've seen religious people kill it too Yeah, yes, but there's nothing worse like I read I flew here. I rented a car I got a hotel room and then you're gonna stand up there and just repeat after me a hotel room and then you're gonna stand up there and just repeat after me, First Corinthians or whatever. Like, I didn't, I could have, I could have zoomed in for this.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Like, give me a show, give me like, make it personal. You spent so much money on this and then you're just going to have whoever come in. And I love this, this choice, this I 100% agree with. Our rabbi kept it tight. He kept his part kept it was fantastic Yeah, we also have the vows of writers, right?

I and so he didn't get to run through it, and then he didn't play it.
Starting point is 01:00:28 And I was up there, Matthew, I don't really get visibly upset too much, and I didn't notice, but Ian was like, Sean, go back to the back and let's reset. I must have, everyone tells me I look pretty, yeah. Well, because he fucked up Laura's walk-up song, so I was like, there's no reason that has to be the one. There's not some like. The one thing. That's the one thing I cared about, other than her being there. I was like, I's no reason that has to be the one. There's not some like. The one thing. That's the one thing I cared about.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Other than her being there, I was like, I could care less about anything else, but I wanted her to walk up and have her moment. Of course that's what you want. And he. Right. Anyway, yes, Ian. Both looked absolutely gorgeous and you nailed it. Ian fixed it.
Starting point is 01:00:58 I remember the first time I watched a friend officiate a wedding was you, and you were, was it Tony and Heather? Tony and Heather's, man.

Starting point is 01:01:25 Um, I'm going to go with your mom's gay cousin. Kind of an older queer gentleman, maybe married, maybe single, probably single at the event because like the husband didn't want to come to, you know, I'm not coming back to Ohio for the wedding. Like, because like the husband didn't want to come to you know I'm not coming back to Ohio for the wedding like but like truly if you can get in good with this with this person you will no one reads the wedding harder you know what I mean like yep no like no one reads the brides if the like the whoever was on the other
Starting point is 01:02:00 side of the aisle no one's like we're all thinking this right like this person doesn't get they were they were gay in the 70s no one's like, we're all thinking this, right? Like, this person doesn't get, they were gay in the 70s and 80s, like, they don't give a fuck about what you think is at this wedding. Like, um. Right, they're built for war. They're ready to talk shit about everybody. We were, my buddy Greg got married,
Starting point is 01:02:17 our buddy Greg got married in upstate New Hampshire, and I met a couple older, like, East Coast, New York gay dudes who were so just so on it what it was so fun to why I've never I'd really never met any like older hard gay dudes before it was radical and like you know they're like the turquoise rings they look fantastic yeah colored suit yes yeah just walking over like that's an apple orchard over there it was it was
Starting point is 01:02:49 so fun just sounds like oh yeah dude and then yeah they're like oh we talked to the owner already like we're gonna come out it's furnished it's furnished beautifully like they'll tell you like what the best wine is at the bar yeah oh no don't drink that no no. Here, I snuck this in. You drink this like you're nice. You're a nice boy. Like, Sean, what's this exact voice you're doing? These these guys, I just like Sylvester Stallone.
Starting point is 01:03:15 We were at an apple orchard and he came up because I think it was me and Zack just standing there looking like because their backyard was an apple orchard. He came up. He's like, yeah, that's an apple orchard. It was real deep, real. And he was taller than us. And his whole chest was out. Kind of. Yeah. His whole chest was out. Rings everywhere. It was it was great.
Starting point is 01:03:33 It was such a fun move. Nothing better than like them walking up there, just like sidling up to you. You're sitting in the back and they're like, do you see the bride's mom? Daring, like daring. Yeah. And then just like walks away. And it's like, boy every interaction I had with you is just nights out here tonight, you know?
Starting point is 01:03:48 Yeah. Oh, that's an amazing pick. Time for my third pick. With my third pick, I'm going to take the man who has organized, the person who has organized whatever's happening next. This is something I have indulged in less and less as I've gotten older, and especially now that I have a wife
Starting point is 01:04:07 who doesn't like to party. But, back in the day, the person, we're like, when's it, like, because a wedding always, well mostly, ends before you're ready for it to end. Yeah, and then you splinter off, and then whoever's keeping it going. And then there's a second group. Sometimes the wedding takes it upon itself and organizes this after party event,
Starting point is 01:04:29 but sometimes it's like 16 of us are going to this bar, it's gonna be great. And I feel like that person, especially when you're younger, is like a crucial element to a wedding when you're not quite ready to wrap it up when the wedding is wrapping up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you gotta give it time to play out all the way.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Oh yeah, you gotta see, there's connections that only start happening towards the end of a wedding sometimes. Couple people made eye contact on a dance floor. Somebody's got some other, a drug dealer meeting them afterwards somewhere, whatever kind of things might be happening. Or people that weren't at the wedding
Starting point is 01:05:03 get to come now hang out. That's always an interesting one. That's a dangerous game. That shit, I was just at a wedding where that happened and it's like, I mean, okay, full disclosure, one of the people was my little brother and his crew, but. It is what it is. It's a dangerous chemistry.
Starting point is 01:05:21 They're gonna finish the job. It was 100% my fault, but it is dangerous. Well, it's just because my little brother, he worked the wedding. Because the wedding was a friend of mine who used to work at this golf course in San Francisco. He got married at the golf course where my brother now works. Oh, nice. So my brother worked the wedding and then we went to a bar afterwards. My brother showed up at the bar afterwards with all his friends. But it was like, I don't know if we needed a bunch of 22 year olds in here.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah. Now they're playing their music. Yeah. I would say bonus points if this is a guy who can just like get me into a car with that. He's just like, like the wedding is and he's just like, just get in the car. That's what it is. It's in a car and then I'm at another place And I don't have to think about it I don't have to he's like just get in and we're going and then you what you know
Starting point is 01:06:09 I go and we have the whole bar and he's like, yeah, we have the whole bar It's like amazing gift some ladies husband isn't drinking anymore and he's got like a big SUV and there's three ubers Oh, it's perfect. It's so nice when it's just material Right, you're like, yeah, I'm coming. Yeah, that's make it. That is a great skill to have. It's a great skill. It's great to see. I like it. That's an Ubermensch right there. And Ubermensch.
Starting point is 01:06:29 That's an Ubermensch, literally. Or a liftmensch. Or a liftmensch. And I will make my fourth pick right after we take one more very short break.

Starting point is 01:09:44 All right, they have 10 minute lessons, they're quick, handcrafted by over 200 language experts, they're gonna get you talking a new language in like three weeks. You know what I'm talking about? Three weeks, it's about how long it takes to recover from a tweaked ankle. Think about that, you tweak your ankle,
Starting point is 01:10:01 you'll be learning a whole new language the whole time. And you know, talking really is the key to any language. The lessons they have, they're designed by real people for having real conversations. Babel's gonna get you talking. They're gonna teach you real world things, how to get by actually in the country. It's not gonna be, you're not gonna be talking
Starting point is 01:10:18 about math or anything. You're gonna get directions. Where do you get water? Get on it. I tried it, it is fantastically easy. Like I said, they have them broken down into little sections. They have things where you can say a sentence,
Starting point is 01:10:35 you can repeat it, and then they have like a language checker checking your accent, giving you accuracy points, all that good stuff. And you know, don't take our word for it. Studies from Yale, Michigan State, shout out to the old ladies alma mater, and beyond, they continue to prove that Babbel works.

Starting point is 01:11:15 Already in progress. We are drafting wedding guests. And it's time for me to make the fourth pick. My fourth pick. I'm going to take, you're familiar with the idea of vacation friends? Yeah, oh yeah. You know, you go on vacation with a couple,
Starting point is 01:11:29 you meet other people who are at that same resort, yada yada yada. This is the wedding bestie. Oh, I love that. That's a great pick. Alcohol is usually involved. Oh yeah. It's your best friend at the wedding.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Sometimes you're seated with them. Usually that's kind kinda how it happens. And over the course of the night, you will become such good friends with this person to the point where you're like making plans to hang out in the future. You know, especially if they just flew in, you're like, we're going hiking tomorrow
Starting point is 01:11:57 and then we're gonna go get lunch. Like you're making like concrete plans that are gonna happen in the future. You exchange phone numbers. Best case scenario, there's like a, oh hey sorry man, I slept in. The next day text message. You sort of don't want it.
Starting point is 01:12:11 You don't want it to go out. You don't want to sully the night before. No, no, no, no. That's not for later. That's just for then, just for that moment. And then you gotta wrap it up after that. And you know, with Instagram now, you can stay in touch. You don't have to really text him. You can just be like, yeah, we'll follow each other. And then you can see what up after that. And you know, with Instagram now, you can stay in touch. You don't have to really text him,
Starting point is 01:12:26 or you can just be like, yeah, we'll follow each other, and then you can see what each other's up to, that kind of thing. And even that I would prefer if it just slowly removed itself from my algorithm. Yeah, social media has fucked it all up. It was supposed to be a one night friend. It's one night, it's perfect, you guys are best friends,
Starting point is 01:12:41 you're doing blow in the bathroom together, you're making plans, it's together. You're making plans. It's fantastic. You got weird bits? You got weird bits? Oh shit, she's a purple elephant, right? Yeah. Here we go!
Starting point is 01:12:52 Exactly. Toot toot, purple elephant. Yeah. And then when the clock strikes midnight, everybody turns into a pumpkin. Your one perfect night was over and it's back home. It fucking it's it's one of my favorite things that happens. I had a much like tamer Wedding bestie at a shocker's wedding. It was fantastic. I Went to a wedding my my wife's sister got it lives in Thailand and got married in Thailand And so it was very important that since all these people were flying in that they would all become friends
Starting point is 01:13:22 Yeah in Thailand and it almost was, all those people were great. They all were very cool. But also it's like, I think we're only friends in Thailand. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Definitely. They live in the States. And they're all, we follow each other on Instagram now
Starting point is 01:13:36 and hey, it's cool. Like, yeah, thanks for liking that post or whatever. But it's like, you know, we're friends in Thailand. That's what, we had our moment. We had our time. That's enough. That's enough. That's enough. It doesn't have to be forever.
Starting point is 01:13:48 I love that. Yeah. That's my fourth pick. Matt, it is time for your fourth pick. All right. So I'm making a choice right now. And both choices are kind of like, weddings need a little bit of chaos, I think.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Right. So yeah, I'm gonna go, it's also inspired by this Thai wedding. The person at the wedding who is fourth tier famous. Ooh, I was that this weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty cool. It is like slowly becoming like this crew.
Starting point is 01:14:20 You know what I mean? Like it is, it might be you at the wedding at this point. Yeah. But like, so at this wedding in Thailand Super cool guy had a blast talking to him. He's like on like MTV and now CBS is the challenge like he's on like who is Reality can you say it? I don't mind shouting them out Devin Devin on the challenge Yeah From from Northampton, Massachusetts Super I couldn't have been a cooler guy to talk to,
Starting point is 01:14:45 but it's also like, there's nobody better to, like, after a few drinks late in the night, be like, so what's it like, what's it like, like, behind you to see, you know what I mean? Yeah. Because they don't want to talk about it early, like, he's, you know, very, very respectful here for the wedding, but then after everything kind of breaks down,
Starting point is 01:15:01 it's like, you know, it's all fake, you know what I mean? He's like, all right, let's go. I you about the challenge hours. I would listen to that. We have a whole channel to place the challenge 24 hours a day I watch it. I watch it a lot when you say we like at your house. I mean it's on to be there's a to be has Like a thousand channels, but one of them plays the challenge all the time. I love watching it I would like to know the answer. Yeah. Yeah, man. Anything he wants on Tubi. Get in there. No, I'm in there too. It's crowd-sourced. Big shout out to Tubi. He was just like the most recent example.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Like to be at a wedding where they're like, oh, like, you know, she is, she does the weather on the local news station or something like that, to like go and chat with them and to see like how they kind of behave. Yeah. Is just like, oh, like what, it's like a wedding needs that. A wedding needs somebody for everybody to point to and be like, do you know who that is? Living in LA has ruined this experience.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Yeah, for sure. But I had a cool one the other day where it was, it was at a place where, it was an industry wedding. But I ended up talking to the guy who wrote John Wick 3. And I was like, oh, fuck. And it didn't come up until way later in the conversation. But I ended up talking to the guy who wrote John wick 3 And that was a cool little reveal Significant other like you're like, you know, I hang out with the guy who wrote John wick 3, right? Talking about John wick like you normally do and then
Starting point is 01:16:25 And he was like this this is ironic what was happening. No. What point did you know the dogs could do all this stuff? I tried to be respectful once I found out, but I started bending a little bit and a shocker was when I ended up hanging out with a guy who wrote air. And that was the other one where I asked him a lot of questions.
Starting point is 01:16:42 Is he from here? Is he from up here? He lives in LA. Okay. He's not from Portland. Okay. Yeah. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Um, but it is always fun when you're with those... I have had to be that person at a few, like, weddings, like back in Chicago and stuff like that. I've been at a wedding where it's like just because I lived in New York I was that person. You know what I mean? That's enough. Yeah, absolutely. I've also had that one because I lived in California. You're right, exactly.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Oh, you're from California? Oh, wow. Oh. Yeah. That's a great pick. Sean Jordan, time for your fourth pick. It's pretty specific. This is taken from my actual wedding,
Starting point is 01:17:19 but I just have to, I don't even know if it's, my aunt accidentally had 10 times the amount of edibles that she was supposed to have. I don't really know how to explain. I could say like the person who like parties, but has never partied before, she there's legal weed here, you know, so she's never seen it. And my mom and her just wanted to go to a weed store and they went and they got a Little gummy and to their credit it is not specific that you're not supposed to take the whole thing
Starting point is 01:17:51 I would have known that but she so she popped the whole thing I found out the next day she was too stoned to even stand up through the Amazing I think we can label this as any like any person who miscalculated. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, accidentally did too much. Yeah, which I've definitely been on the alcohol end of that at a wedding where you're just like you puke and it's like, God damn, what a rough look to go puke at someone's wedding. But yeah, my aunt just did just was stoned out of her gourd at my wedding. So funny.
Starting point is 01:18:22 This one really makes me laugh. I really love just the idea of someone just just like sitting and just like staring. She's like making at a wedding. So funny. This one really makes me laugh. I really love, I really, just the idea of someone just, just like sitting and just like staring, just like making at a wedding. And it's like, you okay? And they're like, hmm, like, yeah. The next day she's like, oh, Sean, hun, I couldn't even look at anyone, hun. I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 01:18:40 I was like, yeah, you fucking, you took a Zach amount of edibles. I took, cause I talked to Zach about it. He's my go-to edible guy. And he's like, oh, that's crazy. I wouldn't do that Wow Even he wouldn't do it. Yeah, that's I was that person with alcohol once at a wedding I officiated where I didn't mean to get us because they had alcoholic popsicles Yeah, I thought there's everywhere for a minute heavy and I didn't know how much booze was in them. So I was like thinking one was like a drink,
Starting point is 01:19:08 and apparently it was more than that. And that shouldn't be the case. No. That's jello shots too, they creep up on you where you're like, I think you should be able to taste what you're doing. If you're gonna put a bunch of alcohol on something, it should taste bad, so you know that it's,
Starting point is 01:19:22 something bad is happening. Yeah, absolutely. There's an element to this picture that's like it has to be their first time. Mm hmm. Yes. Like over miscalculating, you know what I mean? Like, yes, yes. It can't be like they did it all the time. And it's a bummer.
Starting point is 01:19:35 Yeah, because it can't be like, oh, yeah, here comes Aunt, yeah, and glad us and she's going to get she's going to drink too much. Then she's going to, you know, be inappropriate or whatever. It's like, no, it's going to be like she's other. She's always been like the, be inappropriate or whatever. It's like, no, it's gotta be like, she's other, she's always been like the most straight laced whatever. And then ate this much of an edible when she should have just had that much. Sorry, podcast.
Starting point is 01:19:52 I moved my fingers a lot. Um, and then it's like, oh, like we saw a different side of her that night. And it was so out of character. Yeah. Yeah. I've never done an edible, but it seems like they're, especially like those home maids or whatever back in the day but it seems like they're, especially like those home maids or whatever back in the day, it seems like they're so risky,
Starting point is 01:20:07 because you just have to trust the person, where they're like, I think I mixed it all right, you know? Yeah. Sorry, the dog's dreaming. Oh, I love that, and he's like, yeah. Yeah, she's like, she's like, moving around. She's like, barking softly. She's probably chasing you. She's probably chasing you.
Starting point is 01:20:25 She's probably like, you just got home in her dream. That seems to be the highlight of her day. Can we talk for a second about, I think it's honestly irresponsible for a bride and groom to have alcoholic popsicles at a wedding. Okay, it's not a good move. They were, they're very sweet people, and I don't think they went through the process
Starting point is 01:20:41 of vetting these popsicles, but it was like, I woke up in my hotel room the next morning. Now I was drinking a little bit, you know, as well. Dipping your popsicles in vodka. I don't know why these popsicles are getting me so drunk. It was a hot day, it was outside, like, come on. And it didn't taste even a little bit like booze.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Oh, they never do. I'll tell ya, good idea on paper, though. On paper, you're like, oh, I've never even seen this before Visionaries everyone's gonna talk about our wedding for years, which is why it's so dangerous at a wedding because the novelty alone It's gonna make you go back and multiple like flavors. Yeah, a wedding is not a time for a drinking innovation No, this isn't gay. It's not game day. This is a Mardi Gras It's a wedding like wedding and you need people to get drunk drunk as the night goes on, not all at once at the beginning. Like, it's not a game.
Starting point is 01:21:29 People should know what they're getting into. Right. Yeah. Lovely people. But I would like to offload as much personal responsibility for me getting black out at their wedding as I can. Mm-hmm. But it's also, as a wedding guest,
Starting point is 01:21:41 it's like, well, it's rude if I don't eat the alcoholic popsicle that you paid for it. And so now I'm out of sorts because you don't have any water anywhere. Right, exactly. There's not enough food. There's like wedding amounts of food, which is never enough food.
Starting point is 01:21:55 You can't get mad at me for throwing up at your wedding. Like, you did this. If I don't eat these, they're gonna give them to the goodwill. Yeah, is that gonna be good for anyone? I got my officiating done first, that was all right. Yeah, oh that would be insane. Can you imagine that?
Starting point is 01:22:10 A drunk officiant? I'm sure it's happened, but holy cow would I be fierce. Time for your fourth pick, David, and then your final pick in the lightning round. Okay, fourth pick, I am taking this. It's in the fourth, ironically, because of the name that I put it under. I'm taking the Golden Child or the first round draft pick.
Starting point is 01:22:29 This is the person who in the group, it's going to be their wedding next. And they're almost, you see them almost treating it like it's their shit. Like they're working the room, they're taking ideas, and you're like, okay, this person is in planning mode. Maybe their spouse is there, their significant other is getting a lot of,
Starting point is 01:22:51 when you're gonna make an honest woman out of her. You know what I mean? I just love watching those, because it's so apparent, and it's usually, you can really tell, it's usually right, you know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Where you're like, oh yeah,
Starting point is 01:23:04 you remember at Christina's wedding, She was the one handling everything. You know what I mean? It's like matter of time It's just fun to see somebody in that element where it's like, oh, they're getting ready for their future. That's a lot. That's exciting Yeah, it's a great pick. I agree My sister went so far as to call it out. She was like you're next like at her wedding and I was like, okay I am but yeah This was me a lot the year I got married I went to seven weddings the year that I got married and I think five of them were before my wedding that like
Starting point is 01:23:38 eventually like eventually you're just like oh wow like they They liked it took a moment after the ceremony like and you ask the bride and you're like, what'd you do in there? What'd you do in the room? And I go, we just talked with each other and there was hors d'oeuvres and whatnot, and they're like, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:23:52 We'll do that, we'll do that too. You start looking around, also once you've had a wedding and then you go to weddings, you're like, know how much stuff costs, and you're looking around, you're like, holy shit. Yeah, that was yours for me, your wedding, that was the first wedding I'd been to after mine. And it was such a, it's the most fun I've ever had.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Cause I was like, oh, I don't have to do anything at this wedding. Feels amazing. It's almost like having like a backstage pass at a concert. You know what I mean? Where you're like, I'm here to start with everybody else, but also I get to go backstage.
Starting point is 01:24:22 And so like I'm more involved than everybody else.

It's the sweetest thing you've ever seen. My 88-year-old Holocaust survivor grandma was out on the dance floor just like busting a move like for, you know, multiple songs.
Starting point is 01:27:18 It was amazing. Can I say one thing, weird honorable mention before we get out of here?
