Starting point is 00:00:00 Anna G Hutchins on Instagram sent us this, Jake. I always thought it'd be so fun to like start your favorite podcast and then hear your name. Your full name gets three seconds. Yeah. So have you heard about the enhanced games? Yes. We called this. Yeah. Kind of asked for this. Yeah. Basically we talked a while back since time has been here about steroids. And yeah, they're basically making an Olympics version, a version of the Olympics where you can use steroids. Yeah. I forget what we said exactly,
Starting point is 00:00:30 but we, I think we said something like, I'd like to see a version of the major leagues where they're allowed to take steroids and do the home run Derby. Yeah. It's they're described as the 21st century Olympics without drug testing. Yeah. Uh,
Starting point is 00:00:41 so what are we most excited to see? Uh, I think like, do we know what's going to be like, is it just the normal Olympics? I, Yeah. So what are we most excited to see? I think, like, do we know what's going to be, like, is it just the normal Olympics? I haven't even clicked on anything about it. You want me to look a little bit more into it? Let's see, what do I want to see? I mean.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I want to see a javelin be thrown out of the stadium. Oh my gosh, yeah. I want bystanders to be in danger when the javelin is being thrown. Everyone's a potential threat. I want the fans to also be on steroids. Like everyone's just a little bit angry. The announcers, the hot dog salesmen, they visit the Olympics, I think.
Starting point is 00:01:14 What do you think a roided up volleyball player would be like? Like just flying. Yeah, they'd be great. Their vertical would be insane. They'd make dents in the hardwood from hitting it so hard. I'm going to Google using PEDs to run 100 meter dash.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Like how much faster can you get with anabolic steroids? Where's the line between steroids and superpowers? Yeah. Right. How fast could... Yeah. What about that flame? Can we put the flame on steroids?
Starting point is 00:01:43 The Olympic flame? Oh, I thought you meant like the... Just put lighter fluid in that bad boy let's get that really really high yeah yeah that's fun to think about i think we gotta for sure see just like i don't know like swimming like let's see can a guy just run on the water does even need to get wet like how good are the steroids yeah i want to see some bad mitten with some just super jacked up dudes and just like watch them just impale each other with the bad, the shuttlecock. This is interesting because maybe there's some sports where like you can't even, you can't even get better at it.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Like, like how, like Simone Biles is a tiny little, I mean, she's strong. She's very stout, but she's not like a specimen of like just super jacked yeah she took steroids could she be even greater like the balance beam for instance can steroids are they going to make you better at the balance beam do you want to get better you're more lopsided if you're doing the pommel horse sure dude what about the what's the what's the one with the three bars where they're going like going oh uh parallel bars two bars there. There's just two, just two bars. I do three. Um, and so, I mean, how I bet they could do some wild things on there. Yeah. Cause right now they're just going kind of bar to bar, maybe swiving their hips around it.
Starting point is 00:02:54 But what if it was just like from low bar back to high bar? Well, surely like, yeah, surely like when you're so jacked up on steroids like pain is different like you don't have as much pain tolerance so what if what if some men just went like straight like split their legs right on top of that bar and just bounce up a few times and then just went back down to the low bar just a just a nice little a-frame on the bar swiveling around that way what if they got another set of bars involved? Like, I would like to, yes, he'll be using these, like, uneven bars,
Starting point is 00:03:29 but I'd also like those over there, too. And the rings. And the rings. Yeah. Yeah, it's like you see motorcycle people, like, I'm going to jump eight buses. Right. I would like to see female gymnasts,
Starting point is 00:03:39 like, jumping, like, the length of the gymnasium floor. Like, I want to get to that set of bars over there. I like that. That would be fun. Vault vault you don't even need the springboard their legs are the springboard they're just bouncing off the ground on that vault trampoline trampoline trampoline they're gonna have to make bigger ceiling taller ceilings for these people i mean rowing those guys those guys you go wakeboard behind them you. You could row across oceans, man. Just kids, if you're out there, do steroids. That's the moral of the story.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Possibilities are endless. Just a little bit of anabolic help. Just pull the waistband down a little bit. Say hello to Dr. Chandra. You're in. Dr. Balko, see you now. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. This episode is brought to you by Good Ranchers. Yes, American Meat Delivered.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I was going to make a joke and then thought, hey, no. No, no, no. They're better than that. They're our title sponsor, Good Ranchers, GRKC, for a good old discount. That is fun to think about, though. The Enhance Olympics. I forgot that someone sent that to us. Good for us for suggesting this idea. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Oh, it's the Enhance Games. Enhance Games. Yeah, I like that. Performance enhancing drugs. How low on the totem pole do you have to get as far as skill of athletes go before you don't get excited to watch anymore. Because obviously if there were NFL athletes playing football at the enhanced games, I
Starting point is 00:05:31 would be all about it. But if it's like, uh, these guys are like XFL players. I don't know. Like, remember watching XFL? Yeah. And it was like, oh, I was excited about this. The hits are going to be harder in the end at XFL. They're going to do all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I was like, it's just football, but just not as good. A lot of interceptions. Yeah, football would be fun, though. I mean, just like you think about, like, even if they're an XFL kicker with drugs, can they make an 80-yarder? Like, you're always in field goal range. How fun would that be? Or just, I would love to see
Starting point is 00:06:00 like a bunch of our favorite batters, like MLB batters from back in our childhood days, just get roided up now and play against some like, you know, kind of crappier country that doesn't really know how to play baseball and see if Jose Canseco could rake for like three or four homers or something, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:19 that would be fun. Yeah. Home run Derby. But even I went to kids shagging balls in the outfield. They're on steroids too. And like robbing home runs and that counts. Yeah, they're a skill in the wall. Yeah, that's fun.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Bowling, just shattering the pins. You're breaking land speed records with that bowling ball. It's just zooming down there. Yeah. Every sport gets so much better. And like the rule is you can max weight on a bowling ball is like 10 pounds. And so they're hocking those things. Like they're throwing them hard.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That would be fun. Maybe you need a bigger one. I don't know. That would be fun. It says, I just looked up their Wikipedia page for the enhanced games. The guy who started it said, over 500 athletes contacted Baskin for more information. These are sleeper athletes who are, quote,
Starting point is 00:07:03 breaking world records in their basement and sending us videos of it, ready for competition. AKA losers. Yeah. So I don't know what the quality of candidates we're going to get because, yeah, you got to be willing to put your body through maybe life-altering changes. I mean, it sounds like Fyre Fest for the Olympics. Yes. Like, no, we're going to do this in this really nice gym, and the gym ends up being like a
Starting point is 00:07:24 half-court that's shared. Yeah, yeah. The other side of it is being shared with like a kid's daycare for the day. Yeah, we've got the gym from 1 to 4, all right, and school gets out. They have a broadcast, but it's just like one guy just like on a loose, like doesn't even have a tripod. I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah, I hope it comes to fruition.
Starting point is 00:07:43 That's fun. Let us know if you guys see anything more about it. We'd love to watch. Let them watch. Let them watch. Let them watch. Oh, man. What are you talking about now, Jake?
Starting point is 00:07:53 You know, last week I had a moment where, well, we each were kind of perv balls last week. You walked in on the guy in the KU bathroom. Yeah, the guy. The guy? Yep. The man? Mm-hmm. I was banging on the doors of Primrose Daycare the guy. The guy. Yep. The man.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I was banging on the doors of Primrose Daycare. Trying to get in that place. This week, it wasn't quite as bad, but it was a little bit of like, I don't know. I'd love to get your thoughts on this. So I had to amp myself up
Starting point is 00:08:17 to have a conversation with a young girl. And I was just like, oh man, there's just no... Define young girl. I didn't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I feel like it could have anywhere from like 16 to 22. Okay. That's what I was nervous about. This could be a sub-18 conversation. Okay. So, probably nine months ago, I had this idea for a Mood Swings golf video. It was going to be called like golf girls on Instagram versus golf girls in real life. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Because there's definitely a golf aesthetic of like these, you know, these cute girls and they're out of the drive range and they're slow-mo bopping their ponytail around and they look awesome. And then you go to a golf course and these girls are nowhere to be found on a golf course. It is just like old ladies who are retired. Yes. And so we never made that video for golf, but I was like, pickleball has a similar thing going for it. It's very popular to do like tennis, like photo shoots. A lot of girls do that, you know, recess pickleball. They've definitely got the millennial Gen Z girl aesthetic. So anyway, I wanted to do this. I was like, Austin could be a cool place. Cause I think we're going to have resources to older ladies.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Oh, okay. And I hit up a friend while we were there, and she's kind of an influencer, and she was potentially down. She was like, maybe I could maybe make it Sunday, and I could be your pickleball girl on Instagram. We get to our event in Austin Saturday, and next to the five courts we have rented is a girl who looks exactly like what you would want this type of character to be. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:40 It's like pink shirt, white skirt, blonde hair hair just like a young looking like girl who's like looks like she's about to do a photo shoot on pickleball court yeah and i'm just thinking to myself like this is man this is perfect but i don't how do you even go about pitching this you know she's not here for us she's here just playing and the end of the story is basically scott sees me over there scott's in the little game he just sees me just filming this girl like running back and forth on the court and scott comes to me he's like dude i have to know what happened i have to know how you did that and so yeah just perv ball moment of the week again um i mean it went fine it was alarming it was alarming how cool she was but it and how quickly she was down.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Like, you don't need, you don't want to look at my Instagram. So I was like, I stood off two hands up and I go, I'm in my 30s. I'm married. There's no way for this
Starting point is 00:10:36 to be a normal conversation. But I just wanted to ask. And then I'm like, I... You started off strong. Yeah. I started off very self-aware and I was like, what is the pitch? I yeah yeah i started off very self-aware and i was
Starting point is 00:10:45 like what is the pitch i was like i'm i'm a i'm a stand-up comedian but i make pickleball videos i make pickleball comedy videos which i know crazy that that's the thing right anyway um i want to do this video about this and you just would be i think you'd be the perfect girl for it another awkward part of her conversation is the girl she's playing there with not dressed the same way. Kind of singling out her. You alone. Can you get back, please?
Starting point is 00:11:13 Move. Hey. Hey, hey. Move. At the same time, I'm not only trying to pitch on this video, but also trying to figure out, how old are you? I don't want you to be 15, 16, 17. Do you go to college here that's what i did yeah i said hey you guys throw up the horns you guys go to ut fellow kids you guys horning not that yeah um you guys i mean matthew mcconaughey i
Starting point is 00:11:38 mean yeah you guys do this some culture or friday of Culture? We're Friday Night Lights fans. Unfortunately, she goes, no, we don't go to UT. We go to Doc, no, she said St. Something. We go to St. Stevenson. Like, that sounds like a private high school. Yes. And so then, but I wasn't positive. I don't know what this is.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Like, oh, is that, I just gotta ask, is that a high school? And then she said, no, it's like a division two college right on here. Okay. Said, cool. Dave Ellis would have known. Yeah, he would have.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Where's Dave Ellis when I need him? I need you, Dean. And anyway, it was just like, anyway, so if you want to be in this video, we can give you like a free paddle or Katago on Instagram, whatever. She's like, yeah, let's do it. I was like, great. So it should be fun. And, you know, and I think I was overse tag you on Instagram, whatever. She's like, yeah, let's do it. It's like, great. So it should be fun.
Starting point is 00:12:26 And you know, and I think I was overselling her on it, but man did what I had to do to get the video, but did not enjoy any part of the process. Yeah. Just, I don't know. Next time.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah. How do you go? How do I do this better? Okay. I actually don't want there to be a next time. Two very easy answers. Are you ready for it? Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Answer number one is have Isaac do it. Yeah. Okay. So do you fully trust you ready for them? Okay. Answer number one is have Isaac do it. Yeah. Okay. Do you fully trust Isaac to do this? Yeah. Okay. He's charming. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:51 He would not do a good job to the point where it's charming and they would say yes. You know what I mean? And then he'd have an inside joke with the girl and whatever. He's fine. Yeah, he wouldn't say it's smooth, but it's not like you are the smoothest guy. Yeah, I do trust Isaac. You're right. That was the right move. Number two is you're married to a girl who would probably
Starting point is 00:13:11 be great at that. So just use Rachel next time. Yeah, it's just film it another time. Yeah, those are the two easy answers. Third one is just be as creepy as possible and just like howdy normally have a mustache. Listen,
Starting point is 00:13:27 you probably already get this a lot looking like that, but, and just like really lay it on and then let her say no to you. And then have Isaac come up again, kind of a good influence or bad influencer campaign. Or have I, or have Scott do it. Cause he wears pink all the time.
Starting point is 00:13:43 There's no way she's going to be intimidated. Oh yeah. I'll be with this gay guy oh yeah yeah no problem the guy with his toenails painted and uh the pink paddle and the pink shirt yeah sure yeah are you wearing blush he's got really rosy cheeks that would be funny yeah just going as creepy as possible hey so i want to do a video and what i had in mind, she wasn't going to be wearing a short skirt as that. So you're, this is perfect. I mean, yeah, you could, I mean, you probably used to being filmed. While we're out,
Starting point is 00:14:14 I mean, I got the camera. Do you want to do some photos? I could like, edit these, get them to you. I have a studio, actually. You think the lighting's good here? You should see my guest bedroom. Emphasis on the guest yeah anyway it was uh i didn't like doing it but i got the job done yeah first for the video she seemed nice i mean that's good thanks i can't wait to comment on it like wow you got the perfect people for this yes we found linda my baby the week last week and this girl i don't know her name but she was great
Starting point is 00:14:50 good it was funny i was like hey what about one shot where you like bounce the ball on the paddle and she was not coordinated to do that it's like why don't we not worry about that one why don't we just uh throw it up behind you or something i don don't know. I don't know how the video turned out. I haven't looked at the footage, but we'll see. Oh, I'm sure it'll be great. Yeah. So you guys got a lot of videos done? Yeah, I don't know if we got as much videos
Starting point is 00:15:12 for our own Instagram as we had planned because it's tough when there's other people around, even like the Dink, this newsletter. They're like, dude, we should get some content. And it's kind of playing this awkward game. It's like, well, we already have stuff ready to go and we don't need other people to do it. So I don't know what a collab looks like.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Like you don't need them to act in it. Is that what you mean? Yeah, it's like we've already written it. We've got the camera. We've got the platform. We also have the actors. So what would you do? So we can do something for you maybe.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Yeah. That's fair. So it was a lot of like, maybe. Yeah. That's fair. So it was a lot of like, why don't we just play? Why don't we just have some communal time? LBJ would want us to play. Yeah, he owns Pickleball League. Yes, yeah, he runs a team.
Starting point is 00:15:59 So yeah, we got some videos, got some ads, got some pictures. We just launched a new paddle yesterday. We got some new paddles coming down the pipeline. So we got some footage and all that. Good. It was fun. How was your weekend? My weekend was good. I think I, yeah, I feel like we didn't have a ton going on this weekend. We, you know, we're just doing upward. Uh, Rachel went to Hattie's upward game. Oh yeah. You hung out with Rachel a lot. Yeah. Rachel came over another time, tried some of the Nitro. Yeah, I don't know. I don't feel like I did a whole lot. I was Nitro-ing all weekend, basically, I think.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Rachel sent me a video of Hattie cheering. Is she younger or is she just shorter than everyone? Dude, I think she's – there's like two years of age, but she is like the shortest one, which I was surprised. Yeah. I was surprised too. I never view her as short. Me neither.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Look at you little girl. Her hair is long, taller than Bo. Looks great. Yeah. Seems tall to me. Long legs, I think.
Starting point is 00:16:55 So she seems really tall, but yeah, there's another girl that I know is her age and she's the other shorter one. So I'm like, maybe a short Queens, but yeah, I actually didn't go to this week cause we had a plumber come to our house about a hot water heater. We're going to
Starting point is 00:17:10 get one. Yeah. I'm going to get a new one. So that's fun, fun times, you know, just one more fun adult thing to get, but, uh, yeah. Splurge on the nitrous. That's like, that's where I'm leaning on more than anything. Babe of the week, babe of the week. So one thing I had, I don't know, this is like one of those like very mediocre things that maybe you can attest to understand. I went to Hawaiian Bros the other day. I've been to Hawaiian Bros 25, 30 times in my life. I've been there plenty of times.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Every single time I go, I order and I get a drink and I go and fill up my drink and it's just fine. And I was under the, I've been under the assumption for the last 25 times that a drink comes with your meal. It does not. I learned this for the first time the other day. I, every, I mean, cause every time you go to Hawaiian bros, I mean, you order your thing and they have like these little screens and then the cups are right next to it. So I just grab a cup. They come out 10 seconds later. They're so fast. It's like ready basically. And they give you your food and I have my drink every time and no one's ever said anything to me. And this woman this time was like, Oh, did you, uh, just forget to pay for the drink?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Or did you want to, I can just add it to your thing. And I was like, does it not come with the meal? And it was the most uncomfortable thing. A was uncomfortable because I looked And I was like, does it not come with the meal? And it was the most uncomfortable thing. A, it was uncomfortable because I looked like I was just stealing a drink. Yeah. And she's like, no, it doesn't. I was like, oh, okay. And B, it was uncomfortable because she didn't just let it slide. She wasn't just like, oh, okay, no problem. Oh, that's okay. Just next time. Just no, it doesn't. She was like, okay, you have have you have to throw that out i was like i'm going to i understand what i'm supposed to do wait you could just pay for it i could have but i okay i didn't want to pay i why not all the drinks you've stolen from him you don't want to pay for
Starting point is 00:18:54 one no i mean i guess because like you already drank out of it you still don't want to pay for it i drank like this much okay okay yeah yeah i mean it was like literally like you order and they have your food right away i don't know yeah maybe you're right i should have but i was like i still i don't need to drink that bad i'll just get a water okay i just thought it came with it because it's like a 14 meal and so i was like yeah surely this comes gotta be a drink involved you would think guess not so it's just like this uncomfortable like thing or this girl would not... What's it going to be? She watched me. She watched.
Starting point is 00:19:28 She let you watch. She went and watched. She watched me dump it out like I was some felon or something. Okay, yeah, yeah. Every drop. Yeah. Good. You're using the water...
Starting point is 00:19:39 Good. Yeah, so that's the water. So that's the only thing that's included. Technically, the cup is also... You should have gotten a smaller cup, I think. I was like, whatever. That's a bummer. Yeah, so from now on,
Starting point is 00:19:51 I need to understand that my meal at Hawaiian Bro is going to be like $16 or something like that. Dang. It's all right. I've been there. I stole those chips from the airport one time. Weird feeling to realize you're a thief. Like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:03 What's wrong with me? You should charge less for your chicken. Jeez you get the large no it's just 14 for the original yeah i think it was like 1375 i tell you what brother dang inflation man sorry about that thanks it's okay also hawaiian bros doesn't bring you a fork with your thing. Every single thing that they serve needs a fork, but they ask you to go get your own fork. That's silly.
Starting point is 00:20:34 That's weird. That's kind of weird. That's kind of weird, right? I don't know. That's kind of weird. I do enjoy a good fork dispenser. They have good ones there. I like those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:47 They're like spring loaded. Really solidly built. You know what I don't like is. A bad fork dispenser. The, I was going to say spoon, the straw dispenser. That feels dirty to me. The little like guys are holding it. You press down the thing and a little straw comes out.
Starting point is 00:21:00 It feels dirty. Do I love those? No. They don't have them anymore. They have them at Brookridge. Do they? Yeah. that sounds like a place that still has one of them and it just feels like the thing that is eventually holding the straw is dirty and i'm about to put my mouth on it yeah but but why would it be dirty because you're you're always pressing down on the same little levers you're not you never get underneath there where the straw what you press
Starting point is 00:21:21 down is where the straw goes oh it is yeah yeah like it's got the two things that they catch the straw you push down on those and that's where the straw oh i'm imagining like it has little claws on it and you press down the claws and then there's like a basin where it comes out onto oh see i i'm touching the basin to like i don't think you're supposed to touch the base what do i tell do they Do they have claws? I hadn't seen claws. I'll go back. Take some pictures. I'll take a video this week. Because yeah, that would be, yeah, 100%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It's like we're all germifying the spot where my straw and mouth are going. Yeah, that's not right. Ain't right. Anyway. Yeah, find some claws. That's been straws. We need a straws claws where they can't do that.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Yeah. Anyway, okay. You want to do some wins yeah um i don't know if i have a win now that i think my win was supposed to be nitro um i guess my win of the week is just in general do you ever have like one thing nitro was that thing for me where it was like i was kind of putting this off for a long time because i was nervous about doing it and i didn't want to mess it up and I didn't want to like, whatever. And then I did it and it was kind of like a, it was like the bottleneck of a bunch of different things in my life. Do you know what I mean? Like, like once I get that one win, it like propels me to be like, well, I'm going to
Starting point is 00:22:36 do this now. I'm going to do that now. I'm going to do this. And like, all of a sudden I've been very, very productive for like the last five days or something like that, where it's just like, like Catherine to the, like like to the extent of like, I'll text her like, Hey, doing this now doing this, got this done, just ordered that.
Starting point is 00:22:49 And she'll just text me hashtag productive Brad. Yeah. You know, does that ever like resonate with you where it's like, I was kind of like trudging along and then I got one thing done and then it just made me want to do everything else. Oh, definitely.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Yeah. Yeah. I recently, like a few weeks ago had just like this huge list of just like a bunch of fairly small things but like things that are like i don't want to take all the time to do and like once i did one i like knocked this whole to-do list out in like one day yeah that thought would be like oh i have like weeks worth of stuff right yeah one one getting over one hump is just like yes that that debt debt snowball, if you will, Dave Ramsey.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Yeah. I've heard someone recommend before that if you don't want to do something, if you're fighting off a task or procrastinating, convince yourself that you are going to start it, but you're only going to do it for two minutes. Say, you know what? I don't want to make a table today.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am going to go out there, though, and I'm literally only going to do it for two minutes. I'm going to be right back here. Interesting. Because what happens is you get out there, you start doing it, and you're like, well, I'm starting to build some momentum. I'm starting to chip away at what I have to do.
Starting point is 00:23:51 You will never just spend two minutes. That's cool. You fire up Premiere, whatever, video editing stuff. You're not just going to spend two minutes editing a video. It's like, well, I already got my hard drive plugged in. I got my headphones on. I'm situated here. And then you spend 30 minutes there, and then you spend an spend an hour there yeah because the most annoying part is the beginning like
Starting point is 00:24:08 getting going from zero to one yeah yeah it's the hardest thing so yeah what was your bottleneck that kept you from doing things i think it was just the lack of knowledge i had with the nitro thing was like like i i knew i had to clean it really well and i was like i there's 25 different videos on how to clean it. And it looked confusing. And I'm not, I just don't, I'm not like that technically minded guy with like, it has all these different connections and all these different things. And for whatever reason, the nitrogen gas kind of scares me a little bit. Like, I don't think anything bad can happen, but what if I just like accidentally have it too pressurized that it flies up in my
Starting point is 00:24:42 face and burns me? That's kind of scary. I don't know. I don't, it's just the unknown is really what it is. And so I always want to be like over-prepared. Like I always want to be like, I gotta, I gotta watch every video and everything. And then once I watch a few videos, I'm like, wait, I think I got it. This isn't as complicated as I'm making a, uh, mountain out ofhill. Fly out of the ointment. Princess in the pea. Yeah, so I think it was a little bit about like I didn't want to be bad at making the cold brew, like the actual making of it, and then I didn't want to mess anything up to where I was going to have to spend more money or ruin anything or whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Naturally, I was bad at making the cold brew the first time because terrible at measurements. I thought that eight ounces was a uh cup let them botch let them botch the first time anybody know how many cups or ounces in a cup 16 that's correct so i made it half as strong as it was supposed to still tasted pretty good but pretty good botch but still yeah was a little too transparent for me so anyway that's fun yeah that's good one of the week uh my one of the week i talked about this a little bit on monday's episode but
Starting point is 00:25:49 just being with those guys from friday pickleball it was just awesome and yeah i just i feel like i learned so much being around them every night at dinner i was just like pepper them with questions just wanted to know like how'd you start your first company where'd you guys come from like? Like, what do you know now? What are your strengths? And it was fun learning Matt, the guy who started Friday. He also, he kind of said it offhandedly, but he's like, so I met these guys because we were all in the same entrepreneurship club that I started at Yale. And so I asked him to go back to that later. I was like, wait, you had to start an entrepreneurship program at Yale? He's like, yeah, I started it like my freshman year. I was like, that's just fascinating to me. An entrepreneurship club did not exist at Yale or you just started competing one. He's like,
Starting point is 00:26:31 no, we didn't have one. Interesting. It's like, this is not that long ago. Yeah. He's like 27, 28. I was like my, you know, Midwest, you know, just Missouri brain just thinks everybody's Zuckerberg at Harvard and Yale and these Ivy league schools. I just thought everyone was an entrepreneur. He's like, Oh no, that is very much like a misconception. Really? He was like everyone at Yale. I mean, they just like, they just go into consulting and finance and they just go get these good jobs. You know, maybe they're, you know, lawyers, they go to Yale law, but he's like, no entrepreneurship was very not present at Yale is business in general. You think, or is it maybe, I don't know, entrepreneurship was very not present at Yale. Is business in general, you think? Or is it maybe, I don't know. I was just shocked to learn that. I was like,
Starting point is 00:27:09 you had to start in up until 2017. There was no entrepreneurship club at Yale. Yeah. Or maybe there was one and then it went away or something. Yeah. Cause the guys graduate or whatever, but yeah, that was just crazy to me. And so it was just fun to like dive in more to that. And I was asking more questions like, all right, you guys spent four years at Yale. You got to know some like cool people. Like are there people who were like out there crushing it or people that
Starting point is 00:27:31 everyone hated who are now successful? And anyway, Bush, didn't he go to Yale? Did he? I mean, look it up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Different graduating class, I think. Yeah. He, it wasn't anything too crazy, but he's like, yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:43 we've got a handful of friends who are like in the white house now and worked on this campaign and i was like that's still i don't have any friends in the white house so well who you told me that one story like they're like yeah this band uh pamplemousse oh yeah yeah he's like yeah my girlfriend works for this band um they actually started patreon i was like the people who are in the band they started a patreon page it's a good band you know pample? Pomplamoose. Wow. Yeah. I've at least heard some of their stuff. Yeah. The people in that band,
Starting point is 00:28:09 the husband and wife, started Patreon. Yeah. I found that out because I was looking at their Spotify bio one time and it's like, wait, Jack Conte is also Patreon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I've heard that name. Yeah. Wow. It's crazy. Pretty cool. So yeah. That was fun. Win of the week,
Starting point is 00:28:21 which is those dudes and how much fun it was and I just feel like I learned a ton being around them. So I know that they started Verb Energy. Yeah. Or one of the week which is those dudes and how much fun it was and I just feel like I learned a ton being around them so I know that they started Verb Energy yeah or one of the guys
Starting point is 00:28:28 I forget his name other companies that they started like things you've heard of that's what I was kind of hoping like let's hear some like stories of like origin stories like were you always an entrepreneur like what failed
Starting point is 00:28:39 and what not it turns out not a lot to it it was just like this was their first company and they just dominated it it wasn't this one was like Verb was their first company, and they just dominated it. This one was?
Starting point is 00:28:46 Like Verb was. Oh, Verb. They all did Verb? Yeah, yeah. Oh, cool. All three of them did it. Okay. So, yeah, because I was like, have you always been entrepreneurial?
Starting point is 00:28:53 He's like, no. My dad was a doctor. I was pre-med. His dad was a doctor for the Patriots, so he has a Super Bowl ring. That's cool. Yeah, we were like, dude, your dad touched Tom Brady?
Starting point is 00:29:05 Cool. Well, eventually Tom Brady, dude, your dad touched Tom Brady. Cool. Well, eventually Tom Brady had his own doctor. Remember that? He did say, yeah, he was like kind of explaining this controversy. He was like this one guy botched Rob Gronkowski's injury. So that guy just got fired. And then like it wasn't his dad, but there's a lot of, he said there's a lot of drama, a lot of moving pieces.
Starting point is 00:29:20 People get moved around all the time with like athletic doctors and stuff. Interesting. Because you just think like there's an for this, and so they do it. They do it, yeah. Really, there's opinions still. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it was just fun. Just awesome.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Can't say enough good things about them. Cool. Time you got to win? Yeah. Yesterday, me and the boys, so it was Zach, Graydon, Oliver, my friends, we went and hung out with this um cinematographer who lives in Kansas City Isaac Alonji who like shoots a bunch of like movies and stuff he was just like wanted to test some lenses and test some cool like gear and stuff so we just like shot just
Starting point is 00:29:56 like scenes with this like really good like gear like that looked like movies did you have a script or you guys just like just standing there to and just say whatever? just like, random stuff. That's always more fun. Yeah, and it was like, and not a lot of dialogue, not any dialogue. It was just like, testing lighting and stuff
Starting point is 00:30:10 and like, whatever, but that's just like, it's super inspiring because like, that's what I want to do. Yeah. How old is this guy?
Starting point is 00:30:17 Man, if I had to guess, 40, 50s. And how did he get connected with you guys? Someone, another like,
Starting point is 00:30:25 guy who does like, cinematography stuff connected me with him because this guy was like moving away and he was like kind of being a like example to me kind of in that area but then he was moving so like pointing me towards this guy that's cool me and isaac both filmed young kids this week so that's cool but yeah he this guy's like won like multiple emmys no way stuff yeah pretty cool yeah i'm looking at him right now it's so cool like there's just guys like that in kansas that we just have never heard of you know like yeah like i don't remember maybe it's this guy's studio i don't know there's some studio in kansas city you know the scene from breaking bad where uh gus uh gets like blown up.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Oh, yeah. In like the nursing home or whatever. Yeah, and he walks out and his face is like all messed up. That was like Kansas City's special effects people or whatever that did that. Oh, wow. They did like, yeah, the CGI VFX or whatever. That one specific part.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah, where he's like Two-Face or whatever. And of course, so it was on the news and stuff because we did it. One little five second scene. Good scene though. good scene though great scene huge scene in the movie so good so that's a good win that's fun because that was probably right around my i texted time and something last night and he just responded with a selfie of him and all the guys in the car yeah the bro was great and he just like he was, I was showing Graydon a video on my phone,
Starting point is 00:31:45 so Graydon had my phone. Oh, yeah. Got a text from him, just sent a selfie. Nice. That was fun. That's great. The boys,
Starting point is 00:31:50 I learned in the selfie that Graydon wears a ring on his index finger. I'm not sure why, but yeah. Anyone else? Graydon? These are crickets. Dude.
Starting point is 00:32:00 No one else. I have opinions on rings. Graydon specifically. I like Graydon a lot. Go off. I have opinions on rings. Graydon specifically. I like Graydon a lot. Go off. I just do not like guys wearing rings besides their wedding ring. I think it's a big thing in
Starting point is 00:32:13 Southern cultures to have class rings or Texas A&M, they love their Aggie ring. Man, I just think you look silly. I just do. I do. It's my opinion. Sorry, Grado. We're do this is my opinion sorry grado we're a watch we'll watch we're a watch that's your that's your jewelry so that's my opinion all right timon don't don't come don't you don't you come here with all your rings on okay i won't i'm just kidding you
Starting point is 00:32:39 can you can do whatever you want man take those rings off. This is just a quick one. I just want to say I was running my mile in a neighborhood in Austin, Texas, and they had – so I don't even know where I'm going. I'm just running around, and I'm thinking once I get to half a mile, I'll turn around and come back. And I run by a street that has the radar-enforced thing for the cars. I was like, this is my moment. I'm going to do the thing from the office.
Starting point is 00:33:04 And so then I start running, and I was so excited. I go from the sidewalk to the middle of street i wanted to get me and it couldn't register my running i was so disappointed loss of the week non-win of the week l yeah l the week because it couldn't get my speed because i was gonna like hey if this works i'll have to pause a mile set up my phone and like sprint by it like i was gonna specifically wait for a car to go by and just recreate the whole michael scott scene and i guess I still could have done that, but I don't know. Did you see a car go by and see that it worked on the car? Yeah. There were ways ahead of me.
Starting point is 00:33:30 I was like, oh, sweet. Dang. It's working. It didn't work on the body. Huh. Yeah. I wonder if that's normal or if that was just a bad one. It was botched.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yeah. Dang. Somebody botched. But yeah, that was my moment. I was excited. It didn't work. I'm sorry. I'll be back.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I bet you were going at least 45 miles an hour, the thing is yeah my speed was there it's not because i wasn't going fast enough right it's almost too fast it just said it just was like slow down slow down you know how they do that like your speed 45 55 slow down slow down eventually it's like don't do that i I get that a lot.

I'm going to start with old Grego. Okay. Send in the video. Hey, JK, Brad. Hey, Diamond. You guys asked for roommate stories, and boy, do I have a doozy.
Starting point is 00:38:54 So I went to Cedarville University, and it's a dry town, not a lot of excitement, and I'm a nerd. I'm a pharmacist. And during the end of undergrad and most of grad school, me and five other guys rented a house. Not a fraternity, just a nerd house where we played video games and studied a lot. Fun. I shared a room in that house with my roommate that I had in undergrad. We were roommates for like four or five years.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Good dude. We had a good time. Guys in the house decided that it'd be fun. I don't remember which one of them. One of them bought a taser. You know, like the little ones that you, you know see in the movies the guy comes up behind the taser the guy in the net and goes yeah that he they bought one of those and all the fellas in the house thought it'd be a great idea to i bet it hurts you know it's gonna be great they're tasing
Starting point is 00:39:37 themselves and each other and it was like this thing and i'm i said i'm good i don't want to be a part of that shenanigan specifically. I want to pause right now. This is hilarious. These are not like 19-year-old freshmen. These are like grad school students in pharmacy school tasing themselves. Like the future leaders of America.
Starting point is 00:39:54 It doesn't hurt that bad. Come on, dude. Come on. One neck. One neck. Let them watch. All right. I don't feel the need to be tased.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Doesn't seem like fun to me. Good. But y'all do you. I'm cool with it. So for like a week or two in the house, you just hear the click of a taser. A little bit disconcerting for the first 24 hours. Weirdly get used to it. During this time, I was also dating this really attractive young lady who ended up being my wife.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Heck yeah. And she had already graduated. So I would go visit her at her parents' house for the weekend and we would hang out. I would come back up to school late Sunday night so I could be in class on Monday morning. So I went away for the weekend on a Friday night, hung out with her, did all my studying with her. I get home Sunday night, pretty late, 9 or 10, and I had class at 8 a.m. So I'm getting back. I'm just going to bed.
Starting point is 00:40:44 We got a quiz in the morning. I want to be up and alert for it. So I get home, my roommate's sitting in the living room next to our room. I don't think anything of it. He's on his computer, totally normal things happening. I get ready for bed. I go to get in bed. And as I'm getting under the covers, I hear the click of the taser in the other room. And I was just like, rolled my eyes. Like, of course that's what's happening. I get in bed, I'm trying to get comfy. And I feel underneath my mattress, like in my bed, something like kind of just like get me in the side. And I think that's odd. I is something in my bed. So I get out of the bed and start rooting around through the covers. And lo and behold, it's not in where i'm sleeping it's underneath the
Starting point is 00:41:25 layers so i reach underneath the sheet above like i have like a mattress pad and those like cushion mattress things i'm like reaching in there digging around where is this thing and i grab something that's sort of like bendy and hard and yet soft and i feel what felt like a bee sting oh like not bad but like i felt like i got stung by a bee in the hand and i went yanked it out and i said golly gee oh my what was that it's verbatim the words that came out of my mouth for sure nothing else yeah at all what it was was my roommate um for who knows what reason had gotten the roll of speaker wire that i had in our room it's like 100 feet long he had run it all the way to the living room and attached it to the two ends
Starting point is 00:42:11 of the taser and then the other two ends had routed around our room up to my bed punched a hole through my mattress pad whoa put it right under the sheet with the two prongs kind of just like sitting there and i guess the idea was he was going to tase me through my sheet so yeah he tased me in my bed just i mean i because i grabbed it it just enough to shock me and kind of make me go what in the world again what in the world verbatim what in the world so yeah those are my roommates wow hope you guys have some other good ones hope to see the episode see you guys later grego wow just i mean first of all college is great i mean tasing each other tasing yourself like you don't do that anymore but man in college it's like
Starting point is 00:43:01 it's just a stupid idea but we're in college let's just do it that That reminds me, that's like criminal, like adjacent behavior. Like some of these criminals, like they're doing like genius things to like hack it to an ATM and steal Bitcoin. It's like, man, if you just put that energy towards getting a real job, you could be very successful. It's like, man, they know how to wire a taser a hundred feet across the room and get it into the bedsheet. It's like, what if you did something else? Yeah, yeah, yeah. With that knowledge. Spend your time a little bit more wisely than that. Yeah, the hole in the mattress pad. Is that what he said? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Just straight defaming. Also, like, your room must have been at least a little dirty, Greg, if you can't see a big old wire, going from your uh roommates you know tasered all the way over there um dang that's uh that's a bummer at least you didn't get like genuinely like really bad taste i thought someone was gonna be like big spooning you and maybe just go right to your neck just like hi welcome home yeah good to see you, man. You guys! Golly darn it! Stop it.
Starting point is 00:44:10 You rapscallions. That's funny, Greg. Congrats on the hot wife, though. Yeah, that's always a good thing. Good job there. He who finds a hot wife finds a good thing. Finds a good thing. Man.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Yeah, it is, I think. Oh, yeah, that is a bad roommate right there. Thanks, Greg. I would have gotten him back, Greg. I want to hear the redemption that, like, I would have tased the crap out of that guy. Oh, yeah. In his sleep.
Starting point is 00:44:38 No, I wouldn't have done that. In the shower, even better. Okay, good. Yeah, I had people mess with me in college, and, yeah, I didn't let them get away with it. Let's hear some. So you got to, like, they, I've probably talked about it before, but they came in and, like,
Starting point is 00:44:51 took all the clothes out of my closet and tried to steal them and ran back to their dorm with them. But as they were, like, running back with them, like, some just, like, they dropped. And so my clothes are just, like, all over campus. Campus? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Like, the way from Landon to what he got, they, like, dropped a handful of my clothes. What do you got? What do you got, huh? What what do you got you got my boxes on the sidewalk don't let them watch yeah let them wash let them wash so what'd you do a number of different things i know uh alex dimchek and i went driving up down the highway looking for roadkill and then got roadkill put in the back of his truck and then put put it in their bathroom. So then when they opened the toilet seat, there was just a dead raccoon looking at him. Caught him. That was one thing. We went in and just kind of threw a bunch of water balloons.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Just kick open their dorm room door and just throw a water balloon in their room. Just try to dodge the computers and just hit them in their bed or something. That's funny. Whatever. I don't know if anybody anybody's ever owned a taser before no i thought you needed like you know like a 18 month waiting list like a silencer it's like you better really want this somebody yeah and maybe like the real real real ones are like actually like that but like sounds like you can get a pretty good one yeah do you need it to conceal and carry license for a taser let's look up on amazon right now if they have tasers 25 bucks oh really yeah prime shipping yes taser oh wow you can even get like a cute pink one yeah oh that's nice viper tech calling these stun guns
Starting point is 00:46:19 stun gun yeah same thing we're just like a less oh yeah because sometimes in movies the taser it like shoots out yes yeah that's i've seen things yeah're just like a less tense. Oh, yeah, because sometimes in movies, the taser, it like shoots out things. Yeah, that's what I've seen. Yeah, like little springs or something like that. Like jellyfish type stuff. Yeah. It's the only way
Starting point is 00:46:32 you can describe it. All right, well, thanks, Greg. Next up, we're hearing from Kelly. Hey, guys. This is Kelly calling from Ohio. My bad roommate experience started freshman year of college when my original roommate had to leave.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Her spot was filled with somebody completely random. Our room was already set up to have a big carpet square that I had bought kind of in the middle of the room. And a few different times I would catch her hawking a loogie and spitting into our carpet. And she also kept some type of bloody meat in our mini fridge. And she would open the door to the fridge where the blood would then kind of drip out onto the tile. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:47:18 She did not clean up. Get the taser for this girl. And then as she would carry the meat back to her desk to eat, the blood would kind of drip onto the carpet as well. So unfortunately, at the end of the year, that carpet had to go straight into the trash. Okay. Bloody meat's wild.
Starting point is 00:47:38 She had some sort of bloody meat she was always dragging around? That she then just takes and eats? She never ate it? She never cooked it? It sounds like you should cook it. she was always dragging around? That she then just takes and eats? She never ate it? She never cooked it? It was always probably like... It sounds like you should cook it. I mean, I know that you can have some... A well...
Starting point is 00:47:52 Or what's it called? A rare steak, but still. It's not bleeding everywhere. I don't think it's dripping. What's weirder, though? The hawking of the loogie is way weirder. Hawking of the loogie is animalistic behavior. Like meat belongs in a refrigerator.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Sure. Loogies belong outside only. Or, worst case scenario, in a Kleenex or a cup or something. Go to the toilet. Or just wait until you're in the shower. Sure. The carpet's wild.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I want to know what that girl's doing now. It's not even her square. It's not even like, hey, I figured I could have the carpet square. I'll provide some carpet square for the thing. Okay, cool. Yeah, FYI, the weird thing I do with it, though, is I just hawk up my phlegm and just spit it right
Starting point is 00:48:33 on the carpet square. Is that cool? You can have the carpet square just FYI. FYI. I will not be able to contain myself. What in the world? And did she do it in front of her? Or do you think it was like trying to be like conspicuous? Oh, sorry. We always had a carbon monoxide detector. They both have like lofted bed.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Here's what I'm imagining is my dorm room, which we had lofted beds and we had like stuff underneath them. Lofted bed, carpet square in the middle. You see like a weird thing. You're like rustling at night. And you know that scene in Big Daddy where they try to like have as long of a spit thing as possible suck it back up you just see her just like ew like parachuting this loogie down to the pocket square it's like three feet long and she's trying to suck it back up and then she can't
Starting point is 00:49:20 yeah whatever it's not my carpet i'll just leave it down there i'll just put some blood on it they'll forget all about the loogie. That'll mask it. That is the kind of story that makes people say, I don't want to go potluck for my roommate. Yeah. You know, cause I don't want to go to college.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Did you potluck? I spot like mean, Oh, like bring a casserole to your roommate and you put it all over the garbage. Where you just like smeared in the garbage square. Hmm. Green beans. It means like,
Starting point is 00:49:43 uh, yeah. Like not choosing your roommate beforehand. Yeah, I didn't know anyone going to SBU. So I just got paired up with a computer programmer. His name was David. We had very different interests, but we got along outstandingly well.
Starting point is 00:49:55 We were roommates for like two, three years. Oh, really? Loved David. Yeah, we were perfect roommates together. He was a great guy. You knew nobody. Yeah. Do you remember how that felt,
Starting point is 00:50:04 walking to camp or going to school the first time i was so excited really i yeah i think i had a similar personality to what i do now i just knew growing up i heard so many stories from my dad and he was not only a you know similar to me but he went to the same exact college i knew how much fun he had at college and i knew i was like ready for it i was like yeah i can't wait to meet every single person. And I did every day for four years. I met a new person and I loved it. There was no like, like when your parents left, you weren't like scared or anything. I don't remember being scared.
Starting point is 00:50:31 I think I was just reaching like full, like extroverted, outgoing, confident self. And I was excited for college. So yeah, yeah, it was just fun. I can't imagine. I was excited. I don't think I've like had very many in my entire life where I've not known anybody. You know what I mean? I think if I had gone to like Mizzou or Florida
Starting point is 00:50:49 or something like that, I definitely would have been nervous or anxious. But something about like, this is a small Christian school. I feel, honestly, I was just really confident. I was like, I'm gonna dominate this place. I think I was like, no problem. Like, this is gonna be so fun.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Interesting. I'm gonna love it here. Love it, dude. But thanks, Kelly. Kelly! I mean, two for two on weird things that you didn't see coming. I did not see the she would hawk loogies. Oh, wow. And I'm a I'm a admitted loogie hawker. And every once in a while, it's like, Brad, stop hawking loogies on the pickleball court. And it's like, okay, I will.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Sorry, but I've never once. I think I've gotten out of that before. Cause it was in the field of play. I'm like, can you spit them like beyond the fence? And I, I still,
Starting point is 00:51:35 I still don't know if that was definitely me, but who else would it have been? You know, like I was like, I, I seem, I seem very responsible for this, but it doesn't seem like something I would have done.
Starting point is 00:51:45 But never hawked one on the basketball court because that's inside. It's insane. It's insane. It's inside insane. It's inside insane. All right. Next one is a two-parter from Becca.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Bex. Hey, Jake, Brad, and Tymon. My name is Becca, and this is my bad roommate story. So I lived with 20 girls in Hawaii for three months with a program called Youth with a Mission. Whoa. We had 10 girls. I've heard of YWAM. I've heard of that.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That was a lot of information. What's the story got going?
Starting point is 00:52:14 All right. 20 girls in Hawaii for three months. Imagine they wreak havoc on that. That's what I was going to say too. Man. That's what this story is all going to be about. All right. Girls in a room which connected into a common area and then another 10 girls in the other room.
Starting point is 00:52:30 We shared a kitchenette and a loveseat couch. One of the girls, we will call her Amy, who didn't even sleep in my room, would always come into our bathroom to take a dump. What? And there was no AC in the dorm. The plumbing dude. Amy, who would always leave a bomb in our bathroom was lactose intolerant oh he would steal and eat other girls food but she especially loved ice cream oh and then proceeded to torture us by leaving the ice cream side effects in our bathroom
Starting point is 00:52:58 okay that's part one any thoughts so far it's so funny to hear a girl say the word dump, by the way. Yeah. That's just funny. Yeah, dude. I mean, part one is just like, why are people who are lactose intolerant doing that? Like I have had two bad interactions recently with things at times I've drank alcohol and I'm probably not ever going to drink it again in my life because it's just like, Oh, I just don't like that feeling. And I don't want to even risk it a little bit and I enjoy alcohol fine, but it's like not that much ice cream, I guess. I guess I get it a little bit, but like, I don't know. Still not worth it. Make it a, make it something you enjoy at family holidays. The very moment I think I may be developing an
Starting point is 00:53:40 intolerance to something. I can cut it out. No problem. It's not worth it. Being sick sucks. Being sick is way worse than any, or any food is good, if that makes sense. Yes. Yes, it outweighs the good of food. It's kind of like that really toxic phrase that I feel like was probably really popular back in the 70s, like nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
Starting point is 00:53:59 It's like that, but it's like nothing tastes as bad as the toilet feels. As bad as your stomach rumbling feels. Yeah, the gurgles feel. Okay, so that's wild. And that's next level. Like why did she go in the other people's bathroom? Why?
Starting point is 00:54:17 Like that just feels. Why? That feels like. Why? Why? Why? Why are you doing it? It just feels like it's like uh what's the word just like
Starting point is 00:54:27 fetish mean oh if you're gonna if you're gonna like choose that then keep the aftermath yourself like don't that is make other people suffer because like i know some people who like are like at least mildly lactose intolerant but like okay i'll just like i'll have some ice cream and then i'll like i'll just deal with it. Yeah. But at home. Yes. Yes. Yeah. They can do that, but not in my bathroom.
Starting point is 00:54:52 The amount of privacy that I seek out, if I've got a cinnamon swirl situation going on, the idea that I would seek out a more public bathroom or a bathroom that is shared with more people. Dude, I'm starting to flush it before it's even out. Yes. I'm going to get the toilet ready. Just FYI. Just go ahead and torpedo around flush it before it's even out. Yes. I'm going to get the toilet ready. Just FYI. Just go ahead and torpedo around, boys.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Get it swirling. Yeah, 100%. If I'm living with 20 other people, my diet is way different for that reason. Yeah. You don't think she was really into it because she wanted to let them watch.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Let them watch. Let them smell. I don't know dude all right we got a part two part two here we go but a scotch one day my other roommate we will call her carrie had bought an eight pack of krispy kreme donuts to eat on her birthday the next day the day before carrie's birthday our dorm received a snapchat video from amy and she was filming herself in a dark place with a single light above her head. She said, let's see how many donuts I can eat. She proceeded to shove full donuts into her face.
Starting point is 00:55:54 She managed to fully shove five, but then the video stopped. We never saw the rest of the three donuts. And let's just say a week later, Amy was asked to leave the program. There was definitely some, uh, drama going on in the dorms that night. I hope this story puts a smile on your face.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Thanks for always bringing up my Mondays and Wednesdays. See you guys. I think Amy's got to have like a mental illness. Whenever I heard the story about her, like, yeah, then I started feeling uncomfortable. I was like, oh, man.
Starting point is 00:56:31 That makes me think of the Joker on TV holding a camera up, just monologuing. She literally said, I'm going to let him watch. She really did. I can't believe that. Yeah, who was it? The other girl? Carrie? Carrie let him bought.
Starting point is 00:56:45 She went out and bought, and then Amy let him watch. Dude. Yeah. Also, eight-pack, you're right. Hawaii, get it together. Do a 12-pack like everybody else. Yeah, no wonder it's so skinny over there.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Eight-pack. That is so weird. Your roommate comes home with eight freshly bought donuts. Once they leave, I'm going to film myself. I'm going to do a quick live stream. Knock out a quick YouTube challenge. Dimly lit.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Dimly lit. Yeah, I'm uncomfortable for that girl. I hope she's doing all right. Yeah, that's wild, though. That's good. These are kind of ramping up. They just continue to get better and better. I'm into this.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Let's just hope this continues. Also, how many how many let's call them let's say how many donuts can you house i think i could house 12 no way i crispy cream no those things in a sitting just like put them down like i think i can house them no way i'll give you an hour to house 12 donuts crispy cream different in an hour i mean have you had crispy once i hit a limit yes crispy cream is amazing i'm I mean, have you had crispy cream? Once I hit a limit. Yes. Crispy cream is amazing. I'm just saying there's, there's something different about those compared to the rest of them.
Starting point is 00:57:48 They're, they are, they're fluffier and they're, they just, I can house them. Let's get this on patron and let them watch. No, I don't,
Starting point is 00:57:55 I don't want to, I'm trying to eat better, but I'm just saying that's probably why I feel that way. I'm just like, I can house them because it sounds so good. Dude, you remember, well,
Starting point is 00:58:02 you, you wouldn't grow up and can't see the Royals had like a promotion back in the day where if they got 12 hits, everyone with a ticket got a free dozen donuts. Dude, we did all the time. I've never been able to eat more than three. Oh, more than three. I'm not trying to be annoying,
Starting point is 00:58:16 but can we clarify Krispy Kreme? Krispy Kreme donuts are perfect. They are perfect. In general, like a normal donut, I'm not eating more than, like I could eat more than one, but like two is like, whoa, you just had two donuts. Krispy Kreme are kind of like, they're filled with air. There's something to just.
Starting point is 00:58:32 And they're just like so good. Yeah. Oh, you're talking about Krispy Kreme. Thank you. Yes. I'm kidding. Oh, Austin, Texas. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Grocery. You're right. They are a little lighter, I guess. I need Isaac here. Isaac would be like, oh, I could. Yes. 12 easy. Jake, me and you.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Once your health kicks over. Together, we try to knock out nine combined. How did you do that one time? It's like a video of us just doing our best. Slowly eating. You and Trey did some eating competition. Oh, I watched that. I randomly found it and watched it recently. That's funny funny yeah it was trey what was he he was eating chick-fil-a
Starting point is 00:59:10 nuggets versus meeting pizza rolls how'd you do uh i think i got down like 50 something you both did incredibly i was like how is this possible i'm just not a big eater and like it's just i was like wow how how do you how do you not stop after 10 i don't think i'm not sure i've had a pizza roll i don't i mean dude at least not recently i'll i'll uh i'll bake them up for us today so i mean you're gonna have some pizza rolls for lunch that's like uh kaylee thompson hadn't ever had cereal or a toast crunch or anything cereal yeah okay at least not in a long time come to goldford get.

Oh, Jake and Brad. Hey. Hey, man. How are you?
Starting point is 01:00:25 No, this guy's already taking too long. So I'm here to talk about my college roommate, Tony, otherwise known as Antonio, otherwise known as Cruz. Get to it. We went to a very small, sheltered Catholic school, and I would say about 80% of the student body was sheltered or homeschooled, probably both, including myself. Well, Tony, he wasn't. He was in the pouring rain of this gosh darn earth. And he had experienced quite a lot.
Starting point is 01:01:07 And he decided to give it a college try at the sheltered school. So this led to some conflicts, but the most of it being this one. All right. Well, hey, if you guys are hearing this on the podcast, it means it got good. I'm confused about the pouring rain metaphor.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I looked up pouring rain, meaning it's rain falling in large drops with lots of force. Oh, okay. Incidents I had with Tony, the first of which was around the beginning of freshman year. And when we first got there, he was the first one that arrived. So there's two options for beds. Either you have a normal bed or you got a weird bunk bed where the bottom was a desk and the top was this no-railing top bunk.
Starting point is 01:02:01 So I got stuck with the top bunk. Didn't like it. Shoved the mattress on the floor. Tony was a little OCD about that. He didn't like that at all. So one day after class, I come back and he switched the beds. So I got the nice bed. Very nice. But then he also like moved all my clothes and you know folded everything my undies and that's when i started getting a little uncomfortable wait all right okay first of all i don't you you put your mattress on the ground yeah was it out of the way i don't think that's tony's fault tony i i i so far i'm on Tony's side. I need to see where the mattress was at. Was it tucked away?
Starting point is 01:02:47 Are you putting it up? Is it Murphy bed style? Is it on a carpet square? What is the Lug situation? Yeah. All right. But more than this, he also took one of my blankets and made like a decoration out of it.
Starting point is 01:03:01 What does that mean? He made it to the wall and tried to make it look nice and he like hung your blank took my posters and like my personal pictures and made like a scrapbook out of my wall that's kind of so obviously okay i felt like my privacy was a little a little violated um especially i would say the pictures in the underwear were definitely kind of across the line all All right. That was part three. Here's part four.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Okay, go ahead. Now, I didn't react too strongly to this, but it was kind of just the small domino that got things rolling, building the tension over the year. When it started to bubble over was, you know, we just, we were starting to realize there were differences amongst us and i um one day there was just there was this nightstand and i pulled it a little bit closer to my bed just so i could you know put my my phone on there and i guess tony thought this was an act of war because when i came back from class later that day, he taped the room in half. He took tape, and there was the right side of the room, that was his, and the left side of the room, that was mine.
Starting point is 01:04:12 And he even put tape down the door, and there was little name tags for us. So there was Tony's room on the right, my room on the left. So obviously things started getting a little uncomfy. Okay, tinted his building, bring it home here Austin, part five. Okay. Now these stories kind of end on a happier note. Eventually he regretted his decision and he tore the tape up. The lines were still there after they were pulled up, still representing the divide between us. But he left me this nice little card, you know,, because it was a gift card to Einstein Bros.
Starting point is 01:05:08 It was $5. It wasn't an Einstein Bros. within a 300-mile radius. So I don't know. Is it a good ending? Is it a bad ending? I don't know. You know, why don't you have the ghosties decide? That's pretty funny. Is this a good ending? All right. Take's pretty good ending all right take care guys okay i like this i like the story i i it
Starting point is 01:05:31 it did make the cut but barely i did not think we were gonna get something like that at the end there's the einstein rose for five dollars and there's not one within 300 miles what a slap in the face dude i got you something a five dollar gift card is like just like the minimum kind gift you could give i feel like these days like it's like a nice little thing on inside brothers especially you're not getting anything for five dollars you know i mean it's not like a sonic five dollar gift card where you can get three drinks out of it uh man can you imagine coming back to the podcast studio and i taped off half of it and marked my name on everything? In my own house.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Hey, Tymon and I did some things while you're gone. Yeah. Oh, did you notice? Oh, yeah. I guess you're right. Yeah. Right down the center there. I mean, yeah, or like the idea of him taking personal things
Starting point is 01:06:21 and putting them on the wall. That's just a wild, wild thing. Yeah. Taking it, making a scrapbook out of someone else's pictures and like hanging up someone's blanket to make it decor, hanging up like pages from his diary up on the wall. Ooh,
Starting point is 01:06:34 this is great. I think Tony might try to kill me tomorrow. That's funny. Little Einstein rose. Thank you, Austin. I wonder if there was like more, uh, confrontation about the, uh, the I wonder if there was like more, uh,
Starting point is 01:06:45 confrontation about the, uh, the tape or if it was just more of a, here's the note. We're good. Yeah. You know, that's wild.
Starting point is 01:06:54 I don't know. Living for a year. It's a long time to deal with that kind of stuff. Bummer. It is. Yeah. Just in general, the dynamics of a roommate in college is just a different thing.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Yeah. It's like different sleep schedules, different, uh, dynamic or different expectations as far as cleanliness goes. Totally. Different ways you like to study different, you know?
Starting point is 01:07:14 Yeah. You have a girlfriend and she comes, you know, to the room and then it's like, okay, I need to go take a shower. What do I do here? Like,
Starting point is 01:07:23 you know, or stuff like that. Your phone alarm is halfway across the room. Yeah. Just cause you have to get it. And then, but then you go back a shower. What do I do here? Stuff like that. Your phone alarm is halfway across the room. Yeah, just because you have to get it and then you crawl back to bed. Alright, next one. Like you said, these stories keep getting wilder and wilder. That was a wild one?
Starting point is 01:07:37 Oh yeah. Next one is a three-parter from Adrian. Adrian! Hey Jake and Brad. My name is Adrian, and I'm from Colorado. And this happens to be my first voice memo that I'm sending in. But I'm glad I'm finally getting the chance to share my bad roommate story. And this one is, she was definitely odd and, um, we definitely suffered for her dietary
Starting point is 01:08:07 choices. Um, so I'm going to just set the scene. We rarely saw her the entire semester and it was because she would like hole up in her bedroom and she would always have like the blinds drawn and the door shut and it was always dark. So it was always unknown what was going on in there and it stunk because she would bring her dishes in there with her
Starting point is 01:08:30 but I would say the worst part about her diet was she enjoyed eating octopus tentacles cliffhanger could have filled the plate with a lot of things I wouldn't have said octopus tent she loved to eat ah what what is it all right here's part two so in regards to octopus tentacles i'm gonna also set the scene of where i went to school um i went to the byu campus
Starting point is 01:09:01 in idaho and so that's very much a mystery to me where she went and bought octopus tentacles. Chinese market. Small town, potato land, eastern Idaho. And I can't imagine they were fresh. But she would eat these daily. And the most offensive part of it all was how she prepared them for consumption. She would sizzle them on her mini George Foreman grill on the kitchen counter. And we would all watch these things curl up. And then we would watch her put these unseasoned chewy tentacles on her plate and then retreat back to her cave to eat them. And then that grill would sit on our counter until the next night when she'd cook up another batch. My God.
Starting point is 01:09:48 She's like a bat or like a raccoon or something. She only comes out to eat. We don't see her anymore. The stuff she's eating is wild. She's got one light on and she says, how many of these tentacles do you think I can eat? All right, bring it home, Adrienne. Here's part three.
Starting point is 01:10:05 And then on more than one occasion, those tentacles would go bad in our fridge and we would open the fridge and get randomly hit with like a stink wave of death itself. Oh, it was always a roulette when that was gonna happen and i just gotta think like imagine being the octopus whose life was given just so it could end up rotting in some college apartment in rexburg idaho anyway i am getting caught up on episodes so maybe i'll eventually hear this but deuces rexburg that was the funniest part. She said Rexburg, Idaho. She got some good delivery. George Foreman Grill is objectively hilarious. You can cook anything on there.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Watch them sizzle and curl up on a George Foreman Grill. I love that. People are wild. What are all these people doing? Let's get all these people together. Let's get Cruz. Let's get Amy. Tony. Let's get Octopus. Dude, that's a, Tony. Let's get, let's get off.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Dude, that's a tough dynamic though. Cause when you're in roommates, you can't just throw away somebody else's food, you know, or like be like, Hey, please don't eat that. It's like, well, I'm trying to be healthier. It's like, dang it. Okay, fine. Then be healthier, but please stop making so many hard boiled eggs. They stink. Yeah. If you get to college and someone you meet has already developed a taste for octopus tentacle, not a good sign. Yeah. Like they were inundated with this at a young age. Like, this is what we eat.
Starting point is 01:11:34 That's not good. This is what we eat, so much so that I have to go out and find the octopus to continue on eating this. There's no other things I'm going to want to eat as much as this. It's gotta be. How about just a nice cold cut, you know, just some, just some honey baked ham. I don't know
Starting point is 01:11:50 something normal, dude. Yeah. And you can't like throw it out for them. You can't be like, that's bad. That's gross. I got to throw that out. It's like, maybe it's not bad yet. Maybe there's still three more days. And then all of a sudden, three days later, it's like, nope, we were wrong. I don't know the ripening process. The reason she's not eating that is because it's bad. Yeah, it's tough. Sorry, Adrian, but that's great. Rexburg, Idaho. All right. So our last one from Kyle, who knows how many parts keep you on your toes? I know. Okay. What's up, Jake, Brad, and Tymon? This is Kyle, and I have a crazy roommate story for you. So, sophomore year of college, I lived with a guy named Jared. Jared was from Alaska,
Starting point is 01:12:33 and his parents would send us these massive crates of flays of salmon, and Jared was nice enough to share them with me, other friends, and his girlfriend, Samantha. Remember the salmon. It'll come up later. Jared and Samantha had the craziest relationship I've ever seen in my life. One day, Jared found out that Samantha had been cheating on him with a guy who worked at Subway. We will call him Steve. Jared and Samantha, of course, broke up,
Starting point is 01:13:00 and Jared was very angry and really wanted to fight this guy. So he decided it would be a good idea to break into Samantha's apartment in the middle of the night, steal her phone, and get this guy's number off of her phone. Wow. Why don't you just go to Subway? Yeah, middle of the night? You do crazy things for love, Jake.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Yeah. The end of the story is going to be he's Jared from Subway. I know that's where it's going. Turns out he never got to him, but let's just say he started running to Subway. He started losing all his weight, and then he becomes a spokesperson. Now he's in prison. All right, here's part two.
Starting point is 01:13:34 So, Jared texted Steve, said, hey, I want to fight you. Steve said, no, man, I'm good. Hold on, hold on. Let's just pause that. No, I'm good. No, thanks. He texted him. He said, hey, bro. Hey, bro, what are you up to? We'd love to schedule a fight.
Starting point is 01:13:50 Just cook some octopus tentacles on my George Ford. What about you? Cool. Just when you get done with that, do you mind just meeting me here? I want to fight you. Are you available? I'm free next Tuesday morning. Also, my whole Thursday afternoon is blocked off.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Yeah. We'd love to schedule a fight. Wednesday, I could fit you in Wednesday, like 1.15, 2.15 probably. It would have to be quick though. Yeah. I'm worried about traffic if I do it too late because rush hour out here starts like 4.15. Yeah. Dude, I've been noticing that. It's the traffic. Do you come on at 4.35? Yes. Yes, dude. So do you mind if I bash your face in at like 1.15,
Starting point is 01:14:18 1.20? That would work. I'm not going to have time to like wrap up and do that. It's got to be bare knuckle. Are you cool with bare knuckle? I'm actually going to use brass knuckles. Is that cool if you as long as you really respect i will bring my own brass knuckles okay that's fine okay let's be gentleman about this and you work at subway right you guys did like employee discounts to bring me a bring me a quick you know yeah black horse ham i don't know yeah a cookie you just throw those out right texas i'm saying i would like to find. Let's start this one over from the beginning. I just want to hear that sentence again. That's so funny.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Jared texted Steve, said, hey, I want to fight you. Steve said, no, man, I'm good. Jared was livid for weeks on end. After a couple of weeks of being so mad, he comes to me and he says, hey, Steve already has my phone number but he does not have yours. Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to take your phone. I'm going to text him pretending to be Samantha from her friend's phone.
Starting point is 01:15:13 And I'm going to catfish him and say hey, you should come down to my apartment so we can do the dirty business. Oh. Without Samantha having any idea of what's going on. Me, you, dirty business? Then he starts heading over to idea of what's going on. Me, you, dirty business? Then he starts heading over to her apartment. I'm going to call Samantha
Starting point is 01:15:29 and I'm going to say, hey, we should totally get back together. I really want to talk through things and I'm going to show up to the apartment too. Okay. So he's trying to make it look like he just happens to show up there too. Yeah. So then he can fight him show up there, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:46 So then he can fight him off. This is good. Wait, so he is coordinating. He and the cheater are going to meet up to fight. Yeah. But also the girl's going to be there, too, to watch the fight. Is that what he's coordinating? What's he wanting her to do? Let her watch.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Yeah. Let her watch. Let her watch. Respect. Let her watch. Let her watch. Respect the, what does Angel say? I will respect the outcome of the duel. Oh, that's funny. One thing I thought is like, that's crazy being livid for weeks on end.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Yeah, that's what you do. You got a problem. Short fuse. And he's from Alaska. Those guys are crazy. Yeah, never mind. That's normal. Those outdoorsmen, man.
Starting point is 01:16:24 They got a different fuse. Wow. Yeah, never mind. That's normal. Those outdoorsmen, man. They got a different fuse. Wow. Oh, this is fun. I like the one minute at a time thing because it kind of gives us a little time to process as we're going. That's only been two parts. No, that was three, wasn't it? Was that three?
Starting point is 01:16:37 No, maybe it was only two. I think that was only two parts. It was only like, hey, man, I want to fight you. It was like, I'm good. This is great. This is great. All right, next one. Wait, wait, man, I want to fight you. He's like, I'm good. This is great. This is great. All right, next one. Wait, wait, wait. Stop. How in the world is
Starting point is 01:16:49 the salmon going to come back up? Oh, yeah, that's true. Remember the salmon? Yeah, it comes back like he's high up at Subway. They didn't just have salmon. They have salmon now. This is him. This is great. Scott Peck, great job choosing these people.
Starting point is 01:17:05 This one's a winner. Yeah, I think you explained that. But yeah, Scott chose this. We didn't know what the stories were going to be, so go ahead and blind. So being the good friend, I guess,
Starting point is 01:17:14 that I was, I said, sure, there's no way this whole plan's going to work. This guy lives like three hours away. He's not going to drive right now to this girl's apartment.
Starting point is 01:17:23 There's no way the whole thing lines up. There's no way you're going to get there before him. And then he's just going to show up randomly. I said, there's just no chance, but if it, if it'll make you feel better, go for it. Try it. Well, I was wrong. The whole plan worked according to exactly what he had thought out. Jared texted this guy from my phone, convinced him he was Samantha. They sent some very weird text messages back and forth. This guy leaves,
Starting point is 01:17:50 drives three hours to Samantha's apartment. Before he gets there, I have to drive Jared over because I'm worried he's going to kill somebody. Jared gets there. He's talking to Samantha
Starting point is 01:17:59 for like 10 to 15 minutes before this guy shows up. Wow. This needs to be guy shows up. Wow. This needs to be its own show. Yeah. This is great. I mean, this guy, how convincing was he that he was Samantha?
Starting point is 01:18:14 Like, I guess he knew how she texted. You know what I mean? Knew her emojis of choice, if necessary. Yeah. Wow. Now, this is the part, if this was a documentary, we'd have to pause the show and say,
Starting point is 01:18:23 Rachel, now what's going on again? So what does Samantha think she's there for? Samantha's at her own apartment. Wow. Now, this is the part, if this was a documentary, we'd have to pause the show and say, Rachel, now what's going on again? So what does Samantha think she's there for? Samantha's at her own apartment. Gotcha. Samantha's at her own apartment. He's like, let's talk things out.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Let's maybe get back together. That's what Samantha thinks. Yeah. Her and original, okay, okay. She's like, yeah, sure, we can chat. Not knowing.
Starting point is 01:18:40 I love how he's stalling. Like 10 to 15 minutes, he's like, yeah, so, really think we should get back together. Like just looking over his shoulder. Oh, man. He's like actively taping his hands. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:55 I just I didn't love who I was when we were together. Yeah. Like doing some pushups really quick. What an interesting dynamic. Like this is a girl you're clearly very in love with she's with another man you were trying to probably somewhat win her over and having to use that side of your emotions and your brain but at the same time keeping some adrenaline ready because you're about to fight at any second that's hard to do both and dude it sounds like she was willing to
Starting point is 01:19:17 get back together with them he just he should have just forgave her you know like yeah pretty pretty easy for her to like say yeah come on over let's talk about it what if she's like kind of the fence he's like i know it'll move the needle maybe here in any second and then yeah they yeah she respects the outcome of the duel the guy that's driving three hours he doesn't know there's his emotions yeah oh yeah he's got his blood pumping in a different way a different direction yeah 100 Yeah, 100%. That is so good. Yeah. Three hours is so long to drive to just get the pulp smattered out of you.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Yeah. This guy's driving probably like, I'll get in the car as soon as I can. I don't even need pants. I'm just all going boxers. This guy's showing up barely has clothes on and just going to get beat. Oh, wow. Okay. I can't wait for the salmon.
Starting point is 01:20:04 Okay, park for. So I can't wait for the salmon. Okay. Park for. So I'm in the parking lot. Jared is inside the apartment with Samantha. They're talking about things, how they love each other so much, blah, blah, blah. Samantha has no idea that Steve is on the way over thinking that he is about to, you know, do you know what with Samantha? All of a sudden I see this poor kid walk up to the apartment door and knock on the door. And he thinks he's about to have the night of his life. All of a sudden, the door opens and he is met with Jared's fist. And Jared pulls him in the apartment and they start to fight.
Starting point is 01:20:39 And I have to run in and basically pull him apart. Jared had printed off a subway application, lit it on fire. He also had taken a frozen filet of salmon out of the freezer and was beating this guy with it. It was absolutely insane. Finally, I got him off of this guy, and we got out of there.
Starting point is 01:20:57 But I thought we were going to get arrested. Okay, there's still one more part. This can't be real. Did you use a weapon? Well, not technically still one more part. This can't be real. Did you use a weapon? Well, not technically a frozen salmon steak. How many ounces? 24. Okay, yes, it's a weapon.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Yeah. Anything bigger than a stopwatch. All right. One more part? That's crazy. This poor guy just knocking on the door, ready to just be pulled into a bedroom. Here we go. Doom, doom, doom, doom. Not tonight. Well, boom. that's crazy this poor guy just knocking on the door ready to just be pulled into a bedroom not tonight well boom all right part five great great last story thank you kyle last detail had to have a fairy tale ending two days later i come back from class i open the
Starting point is 01:21:41 apartment door who's there there but Samantha and Jared cuddling on the couch watching a movie. They had gotten back together. I guess it was true love. So did Kyle stop him or did Kyle let him watch? Let him watch. Wow. This is set up to be a movie.
Starting point is 01:22:02 Yeah. At least a limited series documentary or something. That's amazing. Inside the mind of Jared not from Subway. Well, Jared knew this is my girl. She deserves to be with me. I love her. Poor Steve.
Starting point is 01:22:18 Poor Steve. Steve got nothing out of this. Can you imagine? Steve's got to drive home in three hours be like well that's not how i thought the night was gonna go guys he's like what kind of cheese you want with that like it gets home roommate i didn't think you'd be back so early why do you smell like salmon by the way i have a bloody nose i'm gonna tase you later in your bed um dude oh gotta drive home three hours just just imagine within let's call it 30 seconds.
