Starting point is 00:01:46 We take it serious. But we wanted to mix up the draftees. Like we wanted to bring someone new onto the team to draft to kind of kick in some new energy and expertise. But we didn't want to give anyone the boot unfairly. So for this draft, if you get last place, you are removed from the next draft which will be brad fuller drafting horror movies with the three remaining dudes it's big big it's gonna be major film out the pressure is especially on you dog and i i have to say this you can't play favorites i know chad and me got our name in the thing in the show it matters oh
Starting point is 00:02:28 yeah no that's fine we're dead men if our list sucks and it's and we're not we're gonna have the listeners tell us who they think had the best list and that's helpful but you are the decider my friend yeah don't be afraid to swing that axe baby oh. Oh, that's what I do. Chop my dome off if my list sucks. And we're doing American cities, which is exciting because people take their cities very seriously. We've done a little traveling, and what I've learned is that people really care about where they're from. And the more you care about where you're from,
Starting point is 00:02:58 typically the shittier the place. But maybe we'll shout your city out. We've got the best McDonald's. Yeah, dude. I'm sure it's the best, dude. This is going to be a tough one because there's – in my mind, I was thinking about it. It was like we didn't specify like town, cities, big cities only.
Starting point is 00:03:22 It's like what kind of cities are we talking about? There's no population threshold we didn't even get into what really makes a great city it's really in the eye of the beholder exactly it's gonna be art dude it's good it is art dude you know it's abstract this is an abstract city draft and and you can pander to aaron too yeah yeah dude where the cardinals played it and i know where aaron grew up I know where he was born. He revs two cities that he grew up in, and then he's got the Cardinals. Aaron, I beg of you to take a more objective stance here. What are the two cities you like the most, though?
Starting point is 00:03:56 Let me put it to you this way. If you're trying to kiss up to me with saying St. Louis, I've never been there. So, okay. Thank you for doing that. That changes my list. So I fucked up with Babe Ruth, bro. I fucked up with Babe Ruth. You're you for doing that. That changes my list. So I fucked up with Babe Ruth, bro. I fucked up with Babe Ruth. You're going to go St. Louis number one.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Although St. Louis has a lot of sick bridges, dude. It's a good city for bridges. I feel like we're already cooking. Maybe we don't need any other conversational preamble. Maybe we get straight into it and we shoot these odds or evens. Oh, my God. The stakes have never been higher. It's huge.
Starting point is 00:04:25 No one wants to miss the Fooler episode. Because then what if it's a banger episode without you? That's going to be painful. Totally, dude. All poison Brad Fuller, dude. One, two, three, shoot. Fourth. Fourth.

Starting point is 00:14:54 China. China, yeah. No, you can say it, TikTok. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But I think LA is an amazing city. We have great food. You've said it before. It's a city in search of a center.
Starting point is 00:15:05 There isn't like a hub here. It's just different outgrowths and different ways of being. But especially when you've been here for a while, you guys know the difference between Los Feliz and West Hollywood. Big time, yeah. Between Santa Monica and Van Nuys. Malibu, dude. Malibu is sick.

Starting point is 00:35:28 With my third pick. I'd say that's pretty good. I got to go with a biggie. I can't believe it's still on the board. I would not want to live here because of the cold, but it is a tremendous city. It's often overlooked, but it is the second city. I would go with Chicago. Whoa. Stolen.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Stolen from me, dude. Take it. Chicago, the pizza. They do everything. It's like, what do LA and New York do? We got our own spin on it. You like your thin crust pizza? We got the deep dish.

So I was always looking at Wrigley, always seeing the people up on their rooftops watching the game.
Starting point is 00:36:50 It's got a hilarious accent that we have very well exemplified in Joe Morisi. Where's the P.I. on that? Where's the P.I.? Come on. They're holding them all over. They're all over Robinson. Where's the P.I.? And we were out there a couple months ago.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And I got to say, it's the fucking coldest fucking place I've ever been. I was freezing my fucking, I was three layers deep, and I was freezing my fucking ass off. I am not situated or conditioned to live in a place where you got to wear gloves, but I got to give it up to Chicago.
Starting point is 00:37:20 It's a great city. It's produced a lot of great art, a lot of great food. Skip Bayless's brother does good Mexican fusion food out there. And the airports. Have you ever been in a bigger airport? I fucking... O'Hare is at the top of my...
Starting point is 00:37:35 I fucking hate this area. Yeah, that's a big fucking airport. Oh, it's huge. I remember you tried... I'm always going through O'Hare. And it's great for connections. It's great for connections. It's beautiful downtown.

Starting point is 00:38:16 fly into Chicago. I know, that's the thing. I don't like Chicago. Too many kids from the Burbs went to Notre Dame and they would talk about Chicago like it had no flaws. And I was like, this place isn't a – They all have flaws. But Chicago people don't say that about Chicago.
Starting point is 00:38:30 They're telling you it's like the greatest city that's ever existed on the face of the earth, and that's why I don't like Chicago. The Bulls, dude. Michael Jordan played basketball in Chicago. He was the man. I'm drunk. But look, they've done some cool things. People are annoying at Chicago who are like, best city in the world. It's like, why don't you live there people are annoying at Chicago who are like best city in the world
Starting point is 00:38:45 it's like why don't you live there then no it's not the best city in the world I know I'm saying Chicago people say it and I love Chicago

Starting point is 00:39:50 when he said five i got so much anxiety because maybe this is the first draft where we just do four dude i know because i think five will be where you really make your bones if you have a good five pick. Can you pool a good five? Yeah, it's a good move. All right, Shredder, you're up too. Me talking at length about how Boise is.
Starting point is 00:40:15 It could be Boise. I'm going to pick Boise, dude. City of trees. No disrespect, never been. I was flying there once and they're like, welcome to Boise, city of trees. I disrespect, never been. I was flying there once and they were like, welcome to Boise, city of trees. I just got to get drunk. I think I'm going to go with...

Bro, there's fog machines every night. the monday night monday during regular business hours they have fog machines going
Starting point is 00:40:51 that place is un-fucking-believable dude it's raging it's unbelievable um it's basically part of phoenix so you have a major city network right there yeah i was like well because i thought you would have said phoenix and then talk about scottsdale but you went scottsdale and talked about that gotta leave with scottsdale got it because that's where you're hanging out when we went and did a show there i didn't want to go out there i was like dude it's too far let's just go to mill street i knew you were gonna bail that night i knew you were gonna bail dude it was so funny some fan there's a guy like white right there like taking photos and he saw jt calling me out and goes, that was amazing. I got to see him do that live. It was incredible. He was like, that was rad, dude.
Starting point is 00:41:27 It was so funny. I saw the whole real interaction. You gave me that look, dude. You were like, we're not going out. Because I was talking to Big Game first. I'm like, we're for sure going. We're for sure going. Then I did like two shots after my set
Starting point is 00:41:37 and I was like, I'm done. But it was super fun. But dude, place is amazing. You know, the desert heat, look, it can be a lot, but those desert nights beautiful i don't think there's anything i love more than stand up boning during desert night weather with a breeze striking you so i love to you know what i like to do get an air or verbo with my fiance and just stand up boom on well cut well-kempt grass in the desert provides
Starting point is 00:42:01 that also the sunsets are great the sunsets are great. The sunsets are beautiful, dude. The American Southwest, beautiful, dude. You know, you got Georgia O'Keeffe posting up out there. Maybe that's New Mexico, but something around there. That is New Mexico. Yeah. But it's close. Dude, the golf courses, though.

Starting point is 00:42:40 Sizzling and cracking. Like, when you go to Ruth Chris and they come out and they're like, don't touch the plate. Yeah. Yeah. Because your hand will burn off you know what that's a good point about ruth chris too because it's like ruth chris's are all over the country and i don't know where it started but where do they belong they belong in the desert they belong in scottsdale like when you go to scottsdale you're thinking ruth chris on your way out there yes thinking red meat but
Starting point is 00:43:02 you know you kind of get a little bit i i can't give it to you exactly, but you get Phoenix with Scottsdale. You get a little bit of it, exactly. Do you get ASU? The best college to party at? That's Tempe. In the West. You didn't talk about that. But ASU's the best party to party at.
Starting point is 00:43:17 That's why he could have just taken Phoenix and had all of it. No. No, I wasn't going to give him Scottsdale. I'm more likely to give him Phoenix with Scottsdale than I am to give him scottsdale with phoenix what i was hoping ask what i was hoping why no reason bro because he's an artist and dude it's true and look like i can't ask for that that's biting off more than i can chew i can't ask for that but i went with scottsdale because old town was so sick and they have in and out there bro It's one of the few states and cities that has In-N-Out that's outside of California, and I respect that.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Okay, keeping it moving. We're cruising. Are you on number four? This is my number four pick. So you got Las Vegas, San Diego, and Scottsdale. We're raging, dude. You're a guy who likes to have fun. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:42 I want to double down hard right now, dude, and take him to OC Town, but I'm not going to do it, dude, because I got San Diego, but I really want to.

I'm going with the city for me that has the most American spirit historically, personally, and then artistically. I don't know if any city has produced more films that I love than this city. I'm going Boston, Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:47:22 The best accent, the best fans fans the best fucking energy dude i mean what do we know boston for being combative right being annoying fighting being annoying as fuck dude but in a very american way and then they got the clam chowder and dude look that's goodwill hunting the departed i love mystic road you're speaking my town if i found myself picking boston my argument was going to be chowder and boston movies like that's like like that alone is like good enough that like yeah you're gonna be up like i'm i'd be totally happy with it in this and then like historically like you go back american revolution it has a role in that it's been a relevant place forever and it's just a it i've only been there a couple times looms large
Starting point is 00:48:07 across the country we all know what Boston is it's a kind of the definitive American city I feel like and then the movies dude it's just got the best fucking movies they're great and it gave us Matt Damon and Ben Affleck exactly thank you this is the exact order I was to go in about me if I ever found myself picking Boston. And all the colleges. It's got a lot of colleges. It's got a lot of colleges.

How many great documentaries have come out of Boston sports? Dude, the Patriots? They're Titletown USA. Yeah, but they were good.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yeah, you gotta give them props. And I don't know if anyone's gonna pick the other city. For me, there's only one other city that compares with them in terms of sports fandom. If you rate sports fandom by acts of violence. This is the only other city. I've never been there.
Starting point is 00:49:35 What other city is violent? We'll find out. I'm hammered. I got hammered. You know what? Because I'm picking Boston. Dude, if you were driven in Boston, good luck, dude. It's a disaster, dude.

You're only an hour away. That's very nice. But like every city has shit that's like outside the city that's really cool is a huge plus. You're only an hour away. But that's very nice.
Starting point is 01:04:25 But every city has shit that's outside the city that's cool. Denver's an hour flight from a lot of cool shit.

No, San Diego, I mean, Pendleton's cool as a Marine base,
Starting point is 01:14:59 but also the Navy hub is in San Diego County, so it's a huge military town. I think it's a factor. Yeah, but you've got to focus's a factor. Yeah, but it's not the only factor. You've got to focus on the city. Yes, exactly. But it should be given some weight towards... If you're drivable to a place, that's a good part. If you pick Boise, you don't get Sun Valley.
Starting point is 01:15:16 No, no, of course, of course. That's true. But yeah, you don't get Sun Valley, but it is close by, but it's nice.

Hey, bro, have you ever been to Scottsdale? You're getting married in Santa Barbara. That was out there. Oh, yeah. Oh, Santa Barbara would have been good. In my defense, the judge tricked me, dude, and, have you ever been to Scottsdale? You're getting married in Santa Barbara. That was out there. Oh, yeah. Oh, Santa Barbara would have been a good idea. Yeah, in my defense, the judge tricked me, dude,
Starting point is 01:22:08 and told me to go east. I didn't tell you to go east. I was hoping you'd go Pacific Northwest, but no. Portland or Seattle? Yeah. I wasn't going to do that, dude. I'll tell you that. I'm reading the chat.
Starting point is 01:22:21 San Fran's the only rainy city we were going to take. Yeah, San Fran sucks. Oh, Tom B says You threw on purpose I will say this Strider was the most magnanimous about Like prior to the draft Being like hey I'll give up my spot
Starting point is 01:22:35 And you're traditionally An excellent drafter Do you feel like there was any subconscious motivation Going five Was tough Say that feel like there was any subconscious motivation going five was tough say that no three right they have a three two no no that was god's tale three oh it's god's tale i want to dc but it was back to back

Starting point is 01:23:39 That's a good pick. You got to take a beating early on to come back. Laguna Beach is sicker but Newport is pretty sick do you think it calibrated you better when we all made fun of it oh yeah so then you'd lie you'd get broken down do you think it improved your draft getting chastised like that
Starting point is 01:23:56 totally yeah I love it DC was a good pick I was nervous I thought DC would be a bad pick for some reason I feel like no one talks about DC no but I also think I think like it's so important

Starting point is 01:27:55 don't know that he does so much you can't wear a mask while doing anal yeah just did a bunch of anal i signed this bill at first i believed you guys were like are you serious about this at first I believed you guys but like are you serious about this? I don't want to go talk about it at dinner parties or something dude and people are like that's not a thing. Yo what up guys? People think you pair wine with cheese. Alright this one's titled MILF Dating. Guys this is Andrew.
Starting point is 01:28:42 I'm 21 from Santa Cruz, California. Chad what up, dude? What up? Just going to get straight to the point. I've been having some dating issues, more specifically MILF dating. All right, so he's from Santa Cruz. He's been having MILF dating issues. Relatable.
Starting point is 01:29:00 She was twice my age. I drove 45 minutes to her house. Everything's going good. Good conversations. Chill vibes. You know, start making out a little bit. And reach for the goods. Kind of get denied.
Starting point is 01:29:18 Looks up at me and she says, I'm sorry, I just can't do it. You look too young. And I'm just like, I don't know, boys. I'm kind of just can't do it you look too young and I'm just like I don't know boys I'm kind of deflated right now just wanted some words of encouragement cause you know you only get so many chances
Starting point is 01:29:35 to bang a milf right appreciate you guys love what you do peace damn brother I'm so sorry man I mean I think you just got to grow a mustache. For sure, grow a mustache. You can age yourself up, but also, like, accept who you are and grieve this moment.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Like, you thought you had the pot of gold, and then it turned out, you know, it was all a mirage. And that's hard for anyone to discover. out you know it was all a mirage and that's that's hard for anyone to discover i think you just got to feel all your feelings and be wistful and jay off to the memory of her and then just like move on and and realize in time you'll make a beautiful woman a milf and that will be your milf that you bang and also get to cherish and love and take care of so like it's not all sad dude and honestly just like appreciate the fact that you guys kissed you know you gave her the night she was looking for she probably feels vulnerable recent divorcee not ready to jump back in there and just get dicked down by some rando but she wanted to feel that romance she wanted to feel that flirtation
Starting point is 01:30:41 and you gave her all of that so you've pushed her life into a positive direction and i think that should push your life into a positive direction despite the fact that you got no nut dude i think too i think that's beautiful and that's probably what you should do but something came to mind if she thinks you're too young you got to show her that you're not too young that you're mature take her to napa the city of napa and i'm 65 sure you're gonna do anal yeah for sure for sure smart call because like she's thinking like i like them both you got strategies you gotta like you gotta kind of uh surprise her with your decisions you know like in a positive way thwart her expectations like she thinks you're playing in a vegas trip and then you go nah i'm thinking napa airbnb something super mellow and relaxed bring a book tell her to bring a book yeah and she knows you have that young guy
Starting point is 01:31:46 wild buck energy so she knows you're not going to be reading but she's going to appreciate that you mentioned something like that and then just be like how about we hit the mondavi winery and then you pull out something she's like is that a wine bottle opener and you're like no it's for gaping that's a good surprise dude yeah and when you guys are at the airport together put that in your carry-on so it gets pulled out yeah tell her then when you're at terminal three at lax i'll do a good shout delta for sure that's tough though man that's that's real hard to be grieved he got he got farther than most right like sometimes like you'll like you'll have you'll like you'll make out and that's all that happens That's tough, though, man. That's real hard to be grieving. He got farther than most, right?
Starting point is 01:32:28 Like, sometimes, like, you'll make out, and that's all that happens in a night. And it can be a really good night. You know, like, it doesn't always, it still happened. It didn't. No, for sure. There's degrees to the hookup, and, like, that was a cool one, just kind of like, it's not a porno, sorry.
Starting point is 01:32:44 You know, it would have been cool if it was, dude, but, like, it was still pretty fun. No, it's expectations it's expectations like dudes we think if we don't get the nut it was a failure but you have a beautiful experience you have something that you can write into a podcast about like it was something you'll remember yeah and hopefully something she'll remember and it was like damn that would have been cool and then like you know that was fun and then if they did bone the thing, it's perfect as it exists because it was just a nice experience between the two of them. You bone, then someone catches feelings, then you guys inevitably break up. Then you both put yourselves on like kind of a more bummer perspective.
Starting point is 01:33:19 As it exists now, it's all upside. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. The silver lining is this young buck was able to have a sophisticated conversation with an older woman. That's harder than jackhammering the b-hole in Napa. Right. So you're having a sophisticated conversation about a book you read. You're talking about, oh, Bernaine Brown, you know, stepping into your own or something of that nature. Some of the prey love stuff.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Yeah, exactly. I mean, that's. But more actionable. This guy's got moves. brown you know stepping into your own or something of that nature pray love stuff yeah exactly i mean that's but more actionable this guy's got moves i think this guy's got moves and we're gonna see the best is yet to come for this young fella fantastic sure should we have in a workplace connection yeah sure does it involve a mill uh so i'm 24 year old dude um been working at the space for about two and a half years is he doing a strider impression i thought he was doing a voice at first but he seems like he settled into himself so i appreciate that there's the shift into authenticity legend and um kind of struggling to connect with some of the people i work with, just really looking for, you know, some friendship and some camaraderie
Starting point is 01:34:28 just to make the work a little bit better. And most of the people on my team, you know, older kind of in mid to late 30s, you know, they got kids. They're just kind of in a different place in their life. You know, I can't, like, pull up on a Monday and talk about, you know, how I hit my parlay this weekend and slamming a red bull vodka
Starting point is 01:34:46 with the boys in a freaking section, you know. So, you know, they just can't really connect with shit like that. So,
Starting point is 01:34:53 any advice on how I can connect with some of the older folks in the workplace just to kind of, you know, make things.
Starting point is 01:35:01 Bro, I think it's pretty obvs, dude. Is that he's trying to get them to meet him where he's at but i'm not here in an effort to meet them where they're at like i'd be like yo what was it like phil dropping your daughter off at college was that a sentimental thing are you excited for her are you partially nervous like you know uh ted i see you have a new honda elantra did you lease or did you buy it's uh and then when they
Starting point is 01:35:28 know that you're curious about their important exciting events then they might have a little bit more bandwidth for parlays um beer bongs and uh text threads yeah i think that'll definitely lead to more collatery yeah for sure what do they what do they watch you know what's like is there water cooler conversation like what are they you know what sports teams do they cheer for you know like i feel like you can find some common ground and then you can also you could probably be the young guy at the off like you can also tell if you're if you pick your spots well you can tell party stories and they'll probably get a kick out of it because like oh this young guy he's like
Starting point is 01:36:09 he's living it up you know what i mean i could even see like older co-workers being like oh did you get into something crazy last night you're like you know that's like an opening for you to tell us i think there's going to be opportunities and especially if you have enough time where you talk about find out what they're into it's a timing and a trust thing like if they don't trust you they don't want to hear about you being wild because then they're just going to write you off as like a as like a like a wild card yeah and like be be targeted with when you tell those stories don't don't don't do too many i've heard you mention this when new valet guys come in and they mention like how hot a chick is too soon you're kind of like bro take your time with that kind of you know camaraderie yeah yeah yeah you can't lead with that foot dude i'm not your we're not friends yeah it's it feels better
Starting point is 01:36:55 when you trust the guy because you know he's not coming from like too horn doggy a place it's a workplace you can't be horn doggy on on day one It's something that you need to build up to And that's kind of like The normal way to do it I think too with older guys You talk about insurance policies For sure That's actually my B for the week
Starting point is 01:37:18 Talk about what foods disagreed with you recently Go to the dentist Talk to them like I just went to the fucking dentist I'm sure they'll be like oh fuck inflation it's always works inflation and there's also the person at work that everyone likes to pick on a little bit yeah find that guy go up and punch him dude physically assault that guy dude dude wrestle that guy to the ground dude put him in a headlock. Let him know who's boss.
Starting point is 01:37:46 Yeah, you'll get fired. Beat his ass. Dominate the workspace, dude. T-bag him, bro. Bro, if they're not responding to your conversation points, then it's hands. It's on sight. Should we do one more?
Starting point is 01:38:00 What are you thinking? I think we should get into Beefs, Babes, and Legends. Oh, we're doing it? Okay, cool, cool. Yeah. more what are you thinking i think we should get into beefs babes and legends oh we're doing okay cool cool yeah how's that casey chadwick von kroger who's your beef of the week uh my beef of the week is the av club always always dude they've they muffed up big time this week so big episode of succession this week i'm not gonna time this week. So big episode of Succession this week. I'm not going to spoil anything, but big, big, big episode. Wild shit. Some crazy stuff went down.
Starting point is 01:38:31 Strider even watched it. Strider even watched it. If you haven't watched it, it's amazing. Wait, we should talk about it, though. What's it? So anyways. It's been long enough, dude. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:38:43 Well, I'm not not gonna go into any details I'm just gonna say what happened so I I didn't watch it Sunday night I'm saying we should go into details oh you're saying we should oh
Starting point is 01:38:51 yeah I liked it it was crazy yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry I think you're right anyways
Starting point is 01:38:58 it's hump day dude um it just came out on Sunday anyway say what you're gonna say sorry sorry um so I didn't watch it on Sunday night I was gonna it on monday night and i was trying to avoid the internet because everyone was like oh crazy episodes i was like all right i need to stay away from the
Starting point is 01:39:11 internet the av club has a headline giving away the the spoiler they spoiled it in a headline in a tweet and it was like top of the it was like top story on their website i was like and i just like out of habit click like variety ab club all that stuff like i was so mad dude in the comments people were pissed rightfully so it's like what you guys know better than that no they do it on purpose now they'll write articles that i know they're just trying to inflame the readership and the comments will be like hey this article sucks but they're getting traction on that like us thinking it sucks they can't write something good that we'd actually just be stoked on yeah so they're like little trolls now they just write shitty things and then we all just complain about it a very
Starting point is 01:39:58 spoiler reverse i didn't get it that bad but like saw enough of a headline that I was like, okay, well, somebody definitely died. Yeah. And oh, that would probably make the most sense. So you saw it before you saw the episode? Like, no, I knew that. We're doing the same thing now by talking about it, by the way. So if you haven't watched the episode, skip. It said, it was like, they finally did it.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Or like, they actually did it. And it was like they finally did it or like they actually did it and that was and that was enough some of the best but that way but it was a bit muted for me it wasn't a full-blown spoiler but i'm really spoiler averse so i didn't i was upset that i saw that but yeah it was an awesome episode some of the best acting i've ever seen she looked dude she was great in it she was incredible so we're talking about i love all the weird the weird like hugs that they do where they're like they don't know how to they don't know how to hug one another you've seen how broken the characters are in every moment of it they can't like process is really and how you kind of saw two and then one and then one like it was nice how they spread it out it's a good like modern portrayal of what that's like
Starting point is 01:41:05 for people because we're so disconnected best phone episode i've ever seen of anything yeah it's the all-time greatest phoner and i think uh it also i was worried about the season being boring because i thought it was gonna be the same action as the previous seasons and now it's like all up for grabs i have no idea where it's gonna go episode three and early in the episode it was dude brian cox in interviews he's amazing yeah he's a fire breather right now he's letting it rip dude and then jeremy strong jeremy strong at the end he's like i thought it made sense dramaturgically dude i called me and my lady were watching it i was like that's hilarious and then it went meme crazy i was like oh no i know i know i know i thought it made sense
Starting point is 01:41:43 dramaturgically he's hilarious dude he's all in all the time there's always a point as an actor where there's a wall and i think i can't go through it and then i do his eyes are always about to cry yeah he's always on the verge but who else has done that i feel like it's just it's a great move yeah like terrence howard howard was always crying he was always about it was like and it was like that's what acting is some some people that's their thing they just always look like it and it's like yeah it's dramatic so it's fun yeah all right chris who's your beef of the week um what was it oh fuck dude i totally forgot to do a beef i don't know if i i feel like i didn't do one last maybe you just got good vibes dude you're a pretty positive guy but there's that

Starting point is 01:44:16 I was like, what was that? And all the other young guys who are his age who work the job are like, that guy sucks. So I was like, it's not a young guy thing. It's just this guy thing. It's just this guy thing. It's a that guy thing. That guy sucks, dude. So my beef is with that dude, dude. That's a good beef.
Starting point is 01:44:29 And maybe more so is my beef is with thinking you're cool and in the know and getting one over, but really you're not. Yeah, and being a bitch and then at the end thinking you can like pull like a escape hatch or like pull the ripcord and be like oh i'm not a bitch i'm actually being really cool and fun and i can save it with something like uh topical nah dude yeah this guy sucked dude my beef of the week is with uh hospitals medicine life insurance
Starting point is 01:45:04 i'm getting life insurance right now because i got two kids on the way and i want to make sure my lovely gal and our two bruin babies are protected i meet up with a life insurance dude today now look it's expensive dude if you want to give them a nice chunk you got to pay up i get that but dude whole life, I've been a psycho, but I've been an honest psycho. And every time I've gone to the doctor's office and they've asked me about my drug use or what I'm up to, I've kept it 100. So when I was doing a bunch of wild shit, I wrote it down because I was like, these are my doctors. They're here to protect me. If something goes wrong, I want them to have all the pertinent information and look i was
Starting point is 01:45:46 i was too out of my head i would go to the er and get checked up on for nothing just for some peace of mind and i'd always write down what all my mischievous behavior was it almost felt good to tell a doctor i was like this is someone i can trust find out from the life insurance dude today when you get life insurance they check that shit they pull all your medical files and so now they're seeing this and this is going to make it really really hard for me to get life insurance even though i'm a really healthy guy now despite these two brews i don't drink much i don't do drugs anymore i just got my blood work done i'm healthy as a horse strider you were in the room when i got my results i was fired up dude you get punished for telling the truth it's it's it's stupid it's like i understand what like
Starting point is 01:46:30 obviously it makes sense for them because they're like we're not taking any chances on you and you admitted to it but it's like nobody tells you this going into it they're like oh the healthiest thing for like it might be the best thing for my future family that i just lie to doctors for my whole life yeah it's the incentives are so out of whack it's fucked that's my beef isn't that look i get it that because i was chaotic i deserve to get uh hit for it but no one gave me a heads up never when i was saying all that stuff to anybody did anyone ever say that's gonna make it tough when you try to get life insurance and had i known that i never would have told the truth even though i don't like lying but i i would have seen that it wasn't worth it in that moment
Starting point is 01:47:10 to be honest and now i gotta pay and they might listen to this that's what my guy told me they might but this is art i'm being fake right now the fact that insurance is even a thing i know it is yeah and then they just find all these loopholes. Car insurance. Fucking pet insurance. All this shit. And they're like, well, we don't cover that. You go to the doctor.
Starting point is 01:47:37 You get dental insurance. We don't cover cleanings. And you're like, what am I paying for here? What do you guys do? And they're like, we find loopholes and fuck you in the ass yeah and then if something does go wrong it's a whole fight to get it figured out you gotta file a claim it's the worst that's what you gotta have a good insurance guy like i got for the majority of my stuff mike ferraro great guy honorable my agent as well he will not
Starting point is 01:48:00 skin you on stuff he keeps it straight and he'll call you quick and he'll take care of you because he because he realizes that his relationship with his clients is family that's why there's 40 ferraros that work for state farm that's right i like jokingly was like one of our friends ross was sending rates for other insurance companies then i said this is not okay mike call me on it on a thread 30 seconds later, he's calling, dude. And I was like, this is amazing, dude. But like, I was obviously joking. Thank you for checking so quickly, dude.

We had some ball movement, dude. Dude, there were some really nice possessions, nice entry passes into the paint.
Starting point is 01:57:51 Dude, some good finishing, you know, some shaky jump shooting for most of the team. Dustin's an ace though. But hey, we made enough shots and kept winning. And none of us were afraid to pull the trigger. I was proud that we all were like, hey, if we're open, shoot or shoot. You know? And then also the plans have been, a couple of the games have been good.
Starting point is 01:58:12 NBA playoffs are starting. Go Warriors. It's just, it feels like it's basketball season. Playoffs are about to start. I'm ready to start hooping. It was fun. Who do you got winning the MVP? Like, who do you think should win it?
Starting point is 01:58:24 I think it'll be Embiid.

His mid-range game is amazing. He has like handles and he has like fakes and he kind of plays like a guard. And he plays, I feel like he gets the ball all over the court. You know, he's got spots everywhere.
Starting point is 01:58:56 I think I heard on Simmons that he's hitting 51% from like 5 to 16 feet.

Toss the pigskin, make sure we got a good one. Is there anything better than when you're throwing the football back and forth and then something almost breaks and then you have to take a break? Well, that's when the only time you stop is when something breaks.
Starting point is 02:00:07 Yeah, when you're like, finally, you push it a little too far and you're like, all right, I almost knocked over the lamp. Let's put the ball in. I'm going to put this away.

Oh, that's incredible, dude. Let me see here. Right now I'm Googling Maximus Quo. He didn't say no woman, though. Interesting.
Starting point is 02:03:00 One can point that out. Dude, sometimes when these guys talk about man do they mean humankind probably I actually think in that instance and I'm not even saying I agree but in that instance I think Abraham Lincoln was being specific on purpose
Starting point is 02:03:16 right and it's like it's both a compliment and could be perceived as a negative like you know you're wily. Yeah, no, there's power in it, bro. I wish I could. Here it is.

Starting point is 02:03:41 He said that in the movie? Maximus Decimus Meridius. That's so badass. Here's the thing. If he didn't say it, that's a cool dude who made thatus Meridius that's so badass here's the thing if he didn't say it that's a cool dude who made that fucking graphic somebody's writing
