Starting point is 00:00:00 We're friends that laugh, we're friends that shout Sometimes we don't know what we're talking about But that won't stop us Nothing can stop us Ooh, yeah It's like a show you used to love Just rebranded enough It's stronger, better, bigger power
Starting point is 00:00:24 Cause it is the Golden Hour It's the Golden Hour Oh, so guys, just to start off up top Chris moved to Australia Yeah, Chris No, but I want to be in San Jose improv this Sunday. San Jose one night. Come check me out.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Best GM in all of the improvs there. Yeah. The English fellow. I don't think he's there anymore. He's there. Oh, he is? Is he? Yeah, he's the man.
Starting point is 00:00:57 They have new ownership, but he's still there. Come check me out. He always texts me when Anthony Joshua fights. He's like, what do you think? Can he do it? I'm like, he should be able to do it. Do you get a lot of that? Do you get a lot of people like, there's a big fight coming, and you're
Starting point is 00:01:07 everybody's go-to? That's how I gauge who we're going to get. That's how I gauge how big a fight's going to be. Oh, really? Always. Always. Like, when Conor's fighting, like the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, I knew Jake Paul, Mike Tyson would be massive because if I'm at the grocery store or the coffee shop, people
Starting point is 00:01:23 ask me about it. That's when I'm like, oh, this fight's going to be big. Maslow, the coffee shop, people ask me about it. That's when I'm like, oh, this fight's going to be big. Maslow, Nate Diaz, nobody asked me about. It was a great fight, but that's when I was like, man, that's not good. It's not good. Conor's fight, Conor Chandler, so many people asked me about. So that's how I gauge based off kind of the casuals. If it crosses over to them, like, ooh, this is going to be big. Yeah, how big is the
Starting point is 00:01:45 ufc like is there like is there growth that you can track in terms of like the pay-per-views like the oh yeah how big the events are oh yeah like what's the biggest arena that um the the high selling fight has been it's been in australia it used to be holly home ronda but i think izzy and forget who holds the the record now for the biggest gate. Might have been Izzy Whitaker, but Australia has the two biggest gates. And then Conor had the biggest gate, the one that he had to pull out of because of his pinky toe. But yeah, so Whitaker, Izzy's number one, UFC 243. Attendance, 57,000.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Damn! Now let me just put this in perspective. In Mexico, they had a cat. I don't know why the names get away from me from now. But he performed. It was 110,000 people live in Mexico. They had an arena that held 110,000 people. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:44 110,000 so the highest I think live fight it seemed like a fun thing to watch from so far away you're in the cheap seats watching a fight I guess you I guess you're just they probably got the big screens now do you just pay in a watch but I think that was in the 80s oh so they probably didn't have a screen oh man there's but not binoculars just damn look at him. Damn, look at them go. Imagine you're that cheap. You have a little TV at home and your kid's like, can't even see it.
Starting point is 00:03:09 You're just watching from your couch like this. My son's like, Dad, there's no big screen. Yeah, Julio Chavez Sr. Oh, wow. Nick is quick with the Google. And how many people were there, Nick? 130. 130,000.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Oh, my God. First of all, there's a stadium that holds 130,000 people. That can't be safe. Yeah, that can't be good. Was it just like outdoors in a field? Was it just in a giant field? Yeah. What stadium is that that holds 130,000 people?
Starting point is 00:03:38 That doesn't even seem as tech a stadium. As tech a stadium? Is it still the 123,000? And also, what are they doing now to fill that maybe the olympics if because mexico soccer's big yeah not my show can you imagine if you book a is there a comic that could sell 123 000 tickets in single night oh wow that's a good question i don't think so 123 000 that's what i saying. Because think about it. The biggest dogs like Kevin Hart, he did that whole arena tour. But the biggest arena, maybe $20,000?
Starting point is 00:04:10 That would be. One night, $123,000? Yeah, that would be. I can't even think of. I don't know. Chappelle, maybe. If it was Chappelle, Rogan, I bet they'd get close. When they were headlined together, those tickets sold so fast.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Oh, but no. But see, that's almost cheating. But maybe even them. I don't know. A hundred and. Plus, you wouldn't want to. But it wouldn't be in Mexico. I'm saying like.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Oh, I'm saying America. We don't have a stadium that big. Yeah, we don't have a stadium that big. There sure as fuck ain't no comic selling 123 in Mexico. Right. What it could be. You'd be surprised. Well, Homeboy.
Starting point is 00:04:45 There's probably some Mexican comic out there. Well, no. Homeboy Fluffy sold two back-to-back L.A. Dodgers stadiums. He could do it. He could probably do it. He could do it. He could get close. Yeah, he could do it.
Starting point is 00:04:55 And they wanted to add more shows to L.A. stadium. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He could do it. They did one, and he's like, man, I don't know if I can sell it. Sold out in like minutes. Then they added a second. They're like, let's keep going. He's like, nah, be cool, man. Dude, he's like, man, I don't know if I can sell it. It sold out in, like, minutes. Then they added a second. They're like, let's keep going. He's like, nah, be cool, man.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Dude, that's scary, though. You know, first of all, you book it. He probably booked it. He said, hey, I think you could do this. And they're like, I don't know. But the thing about him is, like, you know, you could bring kids to the show. Those are the dudes that are going to sell 123,000 tickets. Yeah, it's going to be clean.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yep. You know, it's like, what dirty comic can sell that many tickets? I don't know. Chappelle. Closest. 130,000. But also, there couldn't be a worse medium to see live
Starting point is 00:05:35 if you're in the back row than stand-up comedy. You can hear. No, no, I think hearing is okay. Ah, man, I got to see that. What's the point? No, but you would have, it's not in the 80s, so you would have the big screen. That's true.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Because Kevin Hart was doing those massive arenas, and they said it was dope because they had the whole screen. That's what I'm saying. And Rogan does arenas where he's on the 360s, like moving around. You know what would be... I think it would be a great place to... for that SoFi. SoFi Stadium is set up for it. It's so beautiful. And it's intimate. You feel like you're right there?
Starting point is 00:06:02 You know what? SoFi is such a great stadium that I forget that SoFi is a company. Yes. When people say SoFi, I always think, oh, the stadium? But I don't think of – then I saw an advertisement. I was like, oh, that's right. That's a bank. And this stadium is just so much better than –
Starting point is 00:06:22 That was like in Denver, Invesco Field. I was like, oh, it's Invesco. Mile high. Invesco my high that's going my high and then they switch like that's in vesco you know i'm so glad chris isn't here because now we can have an uninterrupted discussion about game of thrones no korean movie talk yeah we don't have to about that scary sheep scary movie dude you remember that scary movie told us to see some i got so many dms like do not watch it which one that the last one the way where it's like the point of view from the serial killer oh it was i had 20 dms like dude it's the worst movie you've ever seen i will never get that hour and 20 minutes back in my life do not listen to chris i'm like oh i, I never listen to Chris on movie advice.
Starting point is 00:07:06 He did recommend one that I did watch. And it was good? It was the first Omen. It's like a prequel to the Omen. And it was actually, it's well made, good performances, but I figured it out like 10 minutes in. I knew what the, I already knew what was happening 10 minutes in, and that's not good.
Starting point is 00:07:26 That's not good. But it was good. But it was good. This girl is great. Now she's like the horror queen now. She's always going to be in scary movies. She's got something about her face, and she's just great for it. And this is like the omen.

Oh, he's the face of it. Yeah, yeah, that's why they still pay him. Like the progressive lady, she can't do shit. She was in like straight up improv classes for years. She was like a legit actress.
Starting point is 00:10:34 No, but she can look different. Oh, I don't think so. Yeah, no, that's why you don't, if you look her up, she looks different. That's like a get-up. She has a sort of like plain face that she can look different. But I think they're set, though. But Kevin is always going to be – Kevin's Kevin.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Oh, no, no. This lady's like – wow, why does she look like Billie Eilish right there? That's how Billie Eilish is going to look in like 12 years. How dare you. How dare you. No, no, this is like get-up. So you wouldn't know what she really looked like if she was just out. No, I wouldn't think that's the progressive lady.
Starting point is 00:11:07 But she's so labeled as the progressive lady, she's kind of set. Like progressive pays a certain amount where she's typecasted. No, no, dude, it's like $20 million. Oh, yeah, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, that's why. You know who's like that? The dude that plays the mayhem? He used to be an actor.

I said, hold on.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Hold on. Imagine that the type of person that leaves a comment on a character's personal Instagram being mad at his character. Dude. I was like, think of that person. This is soap opera stuff, though. How wild is that? They used to do this with soap operas. Really?
Starting point is 00:13:01 If they were like, I'm sure soap opera actors are getting it from people. Because I remember my aunt used to be mad at an actor. She'd like write in to the network? She would send a letter or something. She'd be like, Janine's a whore. Right, right, right. It's a soap opera. Yeah, it's like you think, I don't know. People don't get it, man. There's a soap opera. So, yeah, it's like you think, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:25 People don't get it, man. There's no disconnect. But, yeah, I saw that, too, about that guy having to do that. I thought my wife's full of shit. I'm like, no. She's like, I'm telling you. Look at it. I'm like, oh, this is real.

Starting point is 00:15:40 About time it starts popping. What I love about that show is at any moment, anyone can get it. Love it. Like, you know, it's like normally you watch a show. Like, if you're watching Friends, Chandler's not going to die. No, he can't. You know what I mean? Like, Phoebe is going to stay alive.
Starting point is 00:15:56 But in that show, if Friends was made by Game of Thrones, it would be an episode if Phoebe would just fall to her death. Episode four. And we'd be like, what? Yeah, episode 4. You can't just kill Phoebe. Phoebe gets hit by a taxi. Episode 4. She walks out the coffee shop and just fucking dies. Oh man,
Starting point is 00:16:14 when that, I knew someone was going to get it. But I didn't think, oh man, should we spoiler alert this? House of Dragons spoilers in 3, two, one. I can't believe they killed the king. Oh, I saw that coming. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:16:31 No, dude. By his brother? Yes. Because remember how mean he was at that brothel? Oh, I know. I know. And I was like, oh, he's going to get him. And he has an eye patch.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah, but it's like. You don't play no games. But still there. He's too skinny, though. Yeah, he's really too skinny. When he's in that brothel getting sucked off, too skinny. Yeah. I'm like, I need to eat.
Starting point is 00:16:47 No, he wasn't the one getting sucked off. He was laying. He was laying down. He was getting cuddled by his first. Yeah, the little bitch, right? Yeah, but that guy. Oh, but I tell you, you know the best scene in that last episode is when the mother, the queen mother, who had to take a pregnancy thing.
Starting point is 00:17:00 So she's all like, sick. So she's sitting with her son. When she sits down with the king? Yeah, she sits down. She tells him off. She's like, can I give can i give some advice yeah do what you're meant to do and he goes what nothing i was like gangster she's like do what you do best he was like what she goes nothing and then that and then he was like put on his armor and he was like i'm gonna go with my dragon dude it would be like he's like i'm gonna show her him going on
Starting point is 00:17:25 a dragon to go fight would be like you know tiger taking your truck to go to go to air one and flipping it yeah you know what i mean he's like i got this i couldn't be mad at him he's just like it was equivalent to like like he does not qualify to be riding a dragon that's how i knew he's gonna die but that's that seems great and then also the one before when the the two queens she sneaks in she's like oh that was the previous that's what i'm saying she's like we can't go to war and then she realized like there's no going back i was like oh no no but what was that's how i knew this episode was gonna be fucking fire but what was great about that too is like the the queen mother whatever whatever her name is you know she she knows she made a mistake yeah like she realized because a girl
Starting point is 00:18:10 other girl was like he said that this is what this really means this is not what my father fucked up right and then you see her go i don't give a fuck yeah but she was all you know what that chick's already fucked up because you know you have your friend they're like if we're friends and i start fucking your mom. Wild. You know what I mean? Wow. That was just crazy. The whole thing.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Yeah, that whole thing. You know what I mean? That whole thing was wild. But I get it, though. But if your mom's the queen and now I'm going to be king, I get that, too. I get all of it, especially back then. Right? That shit was wild.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah, it's great. This is actually the closest to the original Game of Thrones. It's good. That sort of stuff. I've always said House of Dragons right up there. Game of Thrones. Now it's getting there. It's good.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Well, I just remember the first season of Game of Thrones. I knew this was going to be a different type of show when they killed the dad. Right away. When they killed him right away. I was like, what? Yeah. I was like, okay. And I love that feeling because now you're
Starting point is 00:19:08 like, anybody can get it at any time. And then stuff like The Red Wedding. How about, dude, I was just going to thank you. They killed the dude on the poster for the show. For that season, they killed that guy. That's the only time in the history of TV
Starting point is 00:19:23 where I went, oh no! As a 40- the history of TV where I went, oh, no. Yeah. As a 40-year-old man, I went, oh, my God. Yeah, that's crazy. One of the best scenes ever. The other time I did that was when I'm watching Walking Dead, and they were looking for this little girl all season, and then she walked out of the barn as a zombie in the final episode,
Starting point is 00:19:42 and I screamed in my living room. I screamed. Yeah. I screamed. It's a good TV. We've been looking for this bitch all season. the barn as a zombie in the final episode and i screamed in my living room i screamed yeah i screamed good tv we've been looking for this bitch all season good tv has she been a zombie the whole time ain't that a bitch but it's really good i finally you guys don't watch huh you nerds back i know casey watches he likes good tv chenna no good tv i finally finished breaking bad what do you think it's good that's great. It's great. It's fucking great. Great show. It's great.
Starting point is 00:20:06 It's so good. Most people have it number one as the greatest TV shows of all time. I have Game of Thrones number one and that number two. I think Breaking Bad's a good watch. So that's why you kind of go, okay, every season there was something new to be like. I was sad when it was over. You know when you have a show, I looked at my girl and I'm like, I guess we'll watch Better Call Saul. I didn't want to watch that one.
Starting point is 00:20:24 It's pretty good. It's no Breaking Bad, though. They just ended Good Doctor. I know you don't watch Good. You watch Good Doctor. Yeah, I love Good Doctor. Listen, let me tell you something. Gay.
Starting point is 00:20:35 You know Chris was on there. I know. Let me tell you something right now. He's autistic? I've never cried more watching a television show than Good Doctor. More than American Idol? There was a season. Oh, it's up there.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Really? Then I can't watch it. I don't need that in my life. Oh, yeah. I know what you mean, though. I can't. American Idol, man. I'd just be like.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I stopped watching after. Once it goes top 12, I'm out. It's overproduced. But when they're telling people's heartbreaking stories. Oh, I know. I love those. I'm like. Especially if like, you know, Katie
Starting point is 00:21:06 You know what gives me is Lionel Richie When Lionel starts crying But I don't know Do you know who they're getting? Katie said Jelly Roll Oh, I saw, you know, I saw him Oh, he is? I saw him I did the goddamn comedy jam

They're from someplace. And some of them have never left their little town. And he was like, he told me about it. He was in Hawaii. He took some of them out. And I was like, this guy is perfect for this.

Gaming resources at dkng.co slash base. But we had great. You know, the flight is long. But let me tell you this, man. Baltimore ain't close. So I wasn't sure about when you have a baby.
Starting point is 00:28:37 So I rented a car because it's like, you know, you have a baby. Oh, you don't trust an Uber. Yeah, yeah. You don't want to like, I don't know. You know what I mean? So I rented a car. So when I rented the car, I noticed that it said, do you want to add an infant seat? So I wasn't sure about it. I have a Duna, and I really wasn't sure how to do it without the base.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I just wanted to make sure, so I said, let me get an infant seat. So I said, oh, I can use points. So I used 1,000 of my points to get this infant seat. We get to the airport, and we realized, you know what? Let's just use the Duna because we did it because I parked my car at the airport and we did it. I was like, oh, it works easy. We get there, I say, hey, I want my points back. I'm not going to use the infant seat.
Starting point is 00:29:12 He was like, I don't know what you're talking about. The infant seats, Brendan, they sitting outside just on the ground. I swear to God. I can't put my kid in there. They sitting outside on the ground. I was like, wait, anybody can just grab one of these? Like, yeah. Yeah, and I was like, well, why am I being charged 1,000 points?
Starting point is 00:29:29 So I'm having a whole fight right now to get my points back. You went real Karen on them? I know you got them points back. You probably got double. Karen is not getting the points back. We need a new phrase for that. Karen would be if I'm, like, mad that somebody, if I watch somebody take a car seat without paying. Correct.
Starting point is 00:29:48 That's being a caring. I agree. I'm not being a caring because I'm trying to get back the points that are mine. Correct. You got double points back? I want my points back. You know? But it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I like when you rent cars and they're like, do you want the GPS? I'm like, are you shitting me? Yeah. Bitch, it's crazy. I like when you rent cars and they're like, do you want the GPS? I'm like, are you shitting me? Yeah. Bitch, it's 2024. Sign me up for the hotel. I got this thing called a phone, you fucking idiot. There's people that still pay for that. When I see that, the GPS?
Starting point is 00:30:15 Wild. Wild. It's crazy. Wild. The GPS? What a hustle. The car GPS, you paying for that? Wild.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Should I pay for the seats as well? How wild is that? Bro, I rented a car on the border of Mexico when I was getting work done on my Lightning down there. The rule is just different. I didn't have to give them ID, nothing. Gave them a fucking credit card. It was like 80 bucks. They pulled around a RAV4, just dents all over it, no gas.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Somebody's baby was in the back. I was like, don't you want to walk around the car? I don't want to be charged walk around the car i don't be charged like you're good i drove it fucking la treated like shit drove it back not washed no gas they didn't give a fuck this is what it is man only list only had a spanish radio couldn't even change it i was just listening to spanish radio the whole fucking time i got in this rental car this is how old i am that i I remember you get into a rental car, and it's just like an old school car with a key.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Now, if I get into a rental car, and they don't have a reverse cam. You're upset. I'm taking this shit back. I'm like, what? So I got to hurt my neck? I don't even know how to reverse the car without a reverse cam now You know how to do it. No, you know what another thing come from a fancy electric car We're basically doing everything for you
Starting point is 00:31:34 Come on Do the basic cars right now come with all this stuff like if I can't if they don't got Apple put play in the car disaster I Get the bags the bags get out of this car. Where'd you guys stay? Apple play in the car? Disaster. I need something else. Get the bags. We get out of this car. Where'd you guys stay in Baltimore? We stayed on the harbor at a Marriott
Starting point is 00:31:55 Renaissance Marriott. The harbor's the best place there. That's where everybody was staying. They have a Pendry there. It's dope. Yeah, but Baltimore is... We were walking on the thing. We were walking on the thing. It's dope. Yeah, but Baltimore is – like we were walking on the thing. We were walking on the thing. It's not.
Starting point is 00:32:08 So the harbor's there? Everybody was smoking weed. Dude, the harbor's there and it's like the nice area. Then you go one block over and it's the wire. I don't like that. I got a coffee and the fan was like, what the – what are you doing here, man? I'm like, getting coffee? He's like, no.
Starting point is 00:32:20 You know when you watch the wire, I'm like, yeah, he's like, this is this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, get the fuck out of here. Yeah, you stay in the hotel. Yeah, it's rough out there. Any downtown. Any downtown area, even though I don't care how nice the buildings are, and they might have a Whole Foods, and oh, there's a Fufu Coffee place.
Starting point is 00:32:35 No. But you in downtown. In a major city? Yeah, in a major city. As soon as the lights go down, it's just like walking dead, man. I put FaceTime on. Oh, you know what? I got a show for you to watch on Netflix. It's called Supercell.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I'm going to give you the pitch. Sci-fi? I'm going to give you the pitch. Remember the show Hero? Hayden Panettiere was on there? It was like a superhero show. Hayden Panettiere was the main actor? I forgot. Pretty sure. This is the hero and the wire had a British baby.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Okay. That's what it is. I need a new show. I loved it. Because I binge watched through Worst Roommate Ever. You seen that shit? How was that? Is that the documentary?

No, but he was. You know what? He was saying like when you watch this documentary and find out, see the information that really happened. And he's like, it's no wonder that it's like you don't hear about it.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Because I don't think it shows Taylor Swift in a favorable light. You don't hear anything about it. Yeah, and he says he thinks that they're suppressing it because of that. She's that powerful. It's Taylor Swift, yeah. Her, LeBron, fuck, yeah. Taylor Swift is most powerful. She's more powerful than LeBron.

Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah. I don't know too much about him, so I'm not trying to offend anybody here. But I've seen – so this kid Sketch was massive, right? Mm-hmm. Massive. He was on Theo's show. He's big on YouTube. That's him?
Starting point is 00:36:36 And Twitch. But then it comes out that he was doing OnlyFans gay stuff, having sex on OnlyF fans doing gay stuff okay making a lot of money good for him but then he's up but then my issue will get your money dude whatever your second dick i don't care i don't judge you man get your money but i think the biggest thing is it came out that he fakes like he has a disability is that right or am i off on that nick uh it's i think he plays it up. I think he's got something with Tourette's where he
Starting point is 00:37:07 blinks a lot and stuff. He did an interview how he's like, he's a character. He's like, I do like the hands. So a person like that can't get a little dick on the side? What are we talking about? I don't have a problem with that. I don't give a fuck. Tourette's is probably good for that. The disability thing, I'm like, ah, man, it's kind of weak.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I don't get why people, like, you're okay if he fakes like he has a disability, but you're upset that three years ago he did gay stuff for pay? Like, pick a lane. You should be more upset that it's not authentic that he's faking like he has a disability. I don't know. Maybe he's playing it up. The disability, like, I think he has a little bit of Tourette's, but he definitely plays it up His The disability Like I think he has A little bit of Tourette's
Starting point is 00:37:46 But he definitely plays it up For a character But it is funny How everybody's just like What are they most mad at? No one's really trying to cancel him Everybody's just trying to come out And be like
Starting point is 00:37:55 Oh man it's all good Like we kind of They're like We kind of forgive you But it's like I don't know He didn't do anything He didn't
Starting point is 00:38:03 Why are you doing a weird Emmy speech right now? Because I'm about to go fix Oh I'm about to say it You know how they do that you but it's like i don't know he didn't do anything he did why are you doing a weird emmy speech right now because i'm about to go fix uh oh i'm about to say it you know you know how they do that where they the mic's right here and they can hear clearly but everybody goes like this hey so what do you think happens with him nick i think he's gonna be fine like the most support most people give him support like teo is like sketch you're my boy steve will do it all everyone's like you're my boy and my whole thing again the gay stuff i do do you i don't give a fuck and he didn't lie about it it's not like he ever said no i never did gay stuff on only fans and people found out they're trying to bring him down that's the internet who's trying
Starting point is 00:38:39 to bring him down you know people are like oh look we found sketch doing gay stuff and he had to come out and be like yeah that was that was me, blah, blah, blah. My biggest issue is like, hold on. But him pretending as a disability we're all cool with? Yeah. That's where I was like, that's weird. My thing is, even if you're cool with the disability thing, if that's his thing, yeah, all good.
Starting point is 00:39:04 But why try and take his career away? That's why. Who gives a – how does it affect you in any facet no i think that what happens is people they latch on to whatever it is because i'll tell you something that's happening right now too that's very weird so i don't know if you saw this but p diddy was like doing whitewater rafting yes living his best life right and then cassie was upset about it. I saw this thing on TMZ. She's like, oh, he's just going to be whitewater rafting on this news.
Starting point is 00:39:30 But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. On the comments section, I was looking at the comments section because it's so weird because before this, they were like, go, girl. You know, you're a victim, and he's terrible. I can't believe this happened to you. And now she's talking about him, and now the whole comments are like didn't you get paid
Starting point is 00:39:50 like what why are you still in this man's business like get out of here it's like move on yeah it's so weird it's like you know what that tells me she didn't get 30 million dollars yeah she's still talking shit yeah like if you got 30 million, you see him living his best life, you're just like, okay. Because if you really cared about him being free, you would be talking about this constantly. Agree. You'd be talking about it like, this guy needs to go to jail. Agree. All those victims.
Starting point is 00:40:16 You'd be an advocate for victims. Non-stop, yeah. But when you see the dude having fun and you're like, what? That means she didn't get $30 million. That's a good point. But then also, people are upset. It's's like it's up to the legal system now. Like I'm not upset. Like what do you think he's going to curl up in a corner?
Starting point is 00:40:32 It's P. Diddy. He still has fucking money. My point is that how the support for her, she had support and now she has people being like, you made your choice. You got your money. So it's weird how that works. And so I'm comparing it to this. It's the same kind of thing where it's just kind of like, I don't even know what they're mad at.
Starting point is 00:40:53 That's the thing that's hard about it. Because right now it's like, are you being homophobic? You know what I mean? It's hard for people to wrap their brain around why they're upset. Because they're like, I'm mad. And then you're going to be like, well, what are you, homophobic? You hate gay people? No, you know what it is.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Or you hate that the guy with the disability can't suck dick too? No, if you pull back all the layers, it's like, why are you mad? You're mad because he's crushing it. You're mad because he's very popular and making a lot of money. That's why you're triggered. You don't care that he sucked dick. You don't care that he hypes up this disability. You don't care.
Starting point is 00:41:30 It doesn't affect you. But this is a little bit like Liver King, though. Because it's inauthentic? Yeah, that's what it's about. But the gay stuff, he's never said, I've never done anything gay. No, no, no. I don't care about that. I don't care about that.
Starting point is 00:41:42 That's just something that people are just going to latch on to. Haters going to hate. It gives them fuel. It's a weird thing to be hating on because it makes you sound... When people are homophobic now, it's really kind of... Why are you like that?
Starting point is 00:41:59 Are you from the 70s? What are we talking about? Explain why this is an issue for you. No one will. They can't go further. They can't go further because then they go, oops, you know. So I don't know. Like, this is a little bit like.
Starting point is 00:42:13 The streaming world is pretty homophobic, and that's really where it all comes from. Yeah. But then, like, I feel like it's almost a minority that's really, like, all the big creators are coming out and being like, we love you, Sketch. Yeah. The night it came out, like, I guess he was in a pretty rough shape and he like literally was thinking about killing himself and like the fate he went over to the phase clan they're like no come on they took him under the wing that's exactly what people do man that that this is what
Starting point is 00:42:37 i'm saying so like you know this is what we were talking about earlier it's just like you know so here's i don't know how old he is how old is is he? In his 20s? He's 25 years old. He now, his whole adult teen life from teen on has been online. He's known about phones and social media and all this, and that's his life. And then he's making money off of this, and now he can't interact with it without now experiencing extreme amount of hate. Yeah, you're're gonna be like not everybody's equipped or built for that and yeah he probably had a thought of like well fuck so i i did this gay thing people are hating me on that but i thought it was fine i i have a disability
Starting point is 00:43:17 i know this is brutal and here's the thing this come from me that's it's what you signed up for that's what i'm saying even if you don't know it's what you signed and trust me i didn't know what i signed up for but at the end of the day if you're gonna play in this space it's what you signed up for. That's what I'm saying, man. Even if you don't know, it's what you signed up for. And trust me, I don't know what I signed up for, but at the end of the day, if you're going to play in this space, it's what you have to deal with, no matter who you are. You know LeBron's son got drafted by the Lakers, right? Would he have been drafted if LeBron was in his son? Absolutely not. Not for the Lakers, but maybe eventually.
Starting point is 00:43:40 He would have been drafted. A lot of the scouts are like, no, he wouldn't have been drafted. They had a good combine, though. They asked LeBron. He averaged four points at USC. Another kid averaged, I think, 20 points and didn't get drafted. It's wild. But they asked LeBron, like, you know, your son is taking a lot of flack.
Starting point is 00:43:56 How does he deal with it? And he's like, oh, he's different than me. He's different. These young kids are different because they're growing up with this. He goes, when I say he doesn't give a fuck, he doesn't give a fuck. And he goes, he doesn't pay attention to it. He goes, it's different because when we came up with it, it was kind of like this trial period.
Starting point is 00:44:14 We didn't really know. No, but that's because of LeBron, man. 100%. Because LeBron walked through the fire and was like, son, this is what we're doing. No one deals with more criticism online than LeBron James. He's the single most criticized athlete ever. So, of course, he's-
Starting point is 00:44:33 But why is he the most polarizing? Because of social media. Because Michael Jordan didn't have to deal with this. Peyton Manning didn't have to deal with this. Archie Manning didn't have to deal with this. LeBron, he's come up in this time period with the social media. So it's been the first time where you see hate on an athlete. But he has his masters in hate.
Starting point is 00:44:51 He has his black belt in hate. So he goes to his son. Best dad. Here's what you can expect. Because LeBron's mom, she didn't know. She had no fucking clue. But you have the guy who's gone through the fire, has his master's degree in it, his doctorate,
Starting point is 00:45:03 being like, this is how you deal with it. So they're asking LeBron. He's like, like i'm telling you when my son does not give a it doesn't face him in any facet he was i know people like oh you know he doesn't pay attention he was like i'm telling you this kid doesn't care about any of that he's like he came up different because of it's because lebron your dad's lebron he knows so your entire life but your entire life like in he's been in the public eye for a little while now. I remember he had that whole thing with that OnlyFans girl was saying. He's like, it's going to be fine.
Starting point is 00:45:31 But then also think about when he was playing hoops as a kid, probably starting. The only reason he started was your dad. Okay. Then he balls out. He gets to ask, the only reason you're here is because of your dad. Okay. Balls out.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Then he's in the NBA. The only reason you're here is because of your dad. Okay. I think he's out. Nice NBA. The only reason you're here is because you're dead. Okay. I think he's going to be fine. I think in three years he's going to be a great rotational type player. I don't think he's ever going to be a superstar, but I could be wrong. But I feel like he's going to be a great defender. He's going to be one of those guys like Marcus Smart type guy.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Great career. I think he's going to be like one of those guys. I think he's going to like – he's a good shooter. If you look at his numbers from the combine, he did great. He was in the top percentile of a bunch of categories. But Gilbert Arenas was talking about it. He goes, the shame with Bronny is he's a – whatever, he's like the 44th pick in the second round or whatever, 55th.
Starting point is 00:46:21 He's like – the thing is he's getting attention. Everyone's watching him with a freaking microscope like he was the number one pick. Yeah. He's like, if you compare him to that Wimby, he's like, in his first game, they're very similar. He's like, unfortunately, though, because he's LeBron's son, he's going to deal with it even more. Well, the other draft pick the Lakers got, like the number 17 pick.
Starting point is 00:46:39 That white boy's good. That white boy. And he's getting no love. Bro, did you see the white boy? Did you see the- That 17-year-old? 17, getting no love. Bro, did you see the white boy? That's a gamer. Did you see the- That 17-year-old? 17 committed to Duke. He's going to be the number one pick.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Dude, what he was doing to Anthony Davis at 17, he was lighting these boys up. Just tall white dude. Just for heck. But I don't think- Heck. I don't think that the NBA players were playing all that hard against him. I don't give a fuck. I get it.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Dude, Anthony Davis, he was just starching them, dude. But then did you see Anthony Davis get serious? Yeah. Did you see Anthony Davis get serious? It was the, you know, they did a scrimmage against a 17-year-old U.S. team, the high school team. Here it is right here. That's him balling, but there's a little white boy guard who's really good.
Starting point is 00:47:21 They were down by two, so he was going to shoot a three. You see Anthony Davis like okay bitch dude this kid could not get a shot off he goes to shooting at the issues yeah and they win the game he's like there you go bitch world-class athletes man when they want to play they could play I just love this 17 year old white boys balling on him my thing is like going to Duke dude LeBron James is 40. And he's still arguably a top 15 NBA player. Hold up. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Hold on. He's 40, and they did a vote on the Olympic team, the U.S. Olympic team, who has the best, best players, the coaches. They did a vote where you didn't know who was going to vote. The number one ranked player is LeBron. Out of all those world-class players, he was number one. Voted by everybody on the team and the coaches. They said, who's the best player on the team?
Starting point is 00:48:13 All of them voted LeBron at 40, Doug. That's great, man. We've never seen it before. I love Anthony Edwards. Like, how are you feeling? You're around all these guys. He goes, I'm still best player on the team. I like how Anthony Edwards, like, I love Anthony Edwards. Like, how are you feeling? You're around all these guys. He goes, oh, I'm still best player on the team. I like how Anthony Edwards, like, I love that whole thing that they think he's Michael Jordan's, like, illegitimate son.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Yeah, those are facts. I love that. I love that. Those are facts, right? We vibing? We vibing. We vibing right now? That's such a vibe?
Starting point is 00:48:38 We vibing merch coming soon, everybody. Yes, sir. We vibing. I love when they show, like, the side-by-side. You're like, this guy really could. Wow. That's crazy. You think he's ever going to acclaim her?
Starting point is 00:48:51 They look identical. Jordan's so. He might not even. He's so egomaniacal. Such an asshole. That he doesn't even want to be like, no, you ain't better than me. Imagine there's no pride in his. I know. legal maniacal that he doesn't even want like to be like no you ain't better than me imagine like there's no pride in his like i know uh that's that's what makes you great that's how you become
Starting point is 00:49:10 the greatest unfortunately you know you don't become the greatest of all time being a good dad no no right no there's no energy for that but anyway but getting back to this real quick shout out to this kid i think he's gonna be all right uh you know what i mean this is like him confirming that it was him from uh monday and i think when you watch it like if you don't know who he is you can kind of see like how funny and likable he is yeah but he's apologizing too he's super likable or he looks completely different in the gay videos he had like a tan and a cool haircut He's like in better shape and now he does this fixed him up They fix open it on us. That was me
Starting point is 00:49:53 That was me it's okay though, I will tell you what okay Two years ago I did some stuff. Oh, I'm positive. Imagine this. So I just thought about this. Imagine this. He's super famous now. Super famous. He knows the way that he's 25, he said.
Starting point is 00:50:16 He knows how the internet works. He's 25. Imagine going to bed every night knowing this was going to come out. He knew this was going to come out eventually. Imagine going to bed, the anxiety every fucking night, if you're living with that, that that was going to come out he knew this was going to come out eventually imagine going to bed the anxiety every fucking night if you're living with that that that was going to come out and you know it's not going to go over well it's a society we live in he's online it's homophobic imagine going to bed every night with that on your brain i don't know man i don't know i i don't i don't think he minded i don't i don't think like i don't think that was the thing really because he's about to take his life he did say he was like knew it would come out that was the thing. Really? Because he's about to take his life.
Starting point is 00:50:45 He did say he knew it would come out. He had a plan. He's like, if it came out, I'm probably going to off myself. That's what he said? Yeah. That's terrible. But the anxiety. Not him.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I'm just saying it's terrible that society makes someone feel that way. Let's take a little break. Because one thing about us, Eric, mainly you, we're nerds. Again, mainly you, though, because we like collecting cards, dude. Mainly me. Mainly you. And Arena Club is my go-to nerd collecting cards website.

Arena Club is the all-in-one trading card platform. You have to sign up for an account at arenaclub.com slash golden hour. I wonder if I still wouldn't be cool because when I was a kid, I was collecting cards. I had a bunch of junior sales, Steve Outwaters.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Not the biggest, the most wanted players. Junior sale actually could have turned into something. And then the thing about Arena Club is you can just have it right on your, it's kind of like your own personal site. People can see the card right there. That's dope, man. I used to love that stuff.

But if you're living online too, sorry, Nick didn't rep you. But if you're living online too, you have this false sense of reality where you think that those opinions and those comments are that that's the way that people view you. And it's not. And if he's not doing what, if he, he doesn't look like he goes outside much, or, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:03 if he's not living in the real world and engaging with actual human beings, dude, it's so toxic. This poor kid. I wonder, did he say why he did it? He mentions that he had addiction issues. I think it might have been a money thing to get drugs, possibly. And that's also why he's feeling like, I don't think he's a homosexual. Oh, well, that makes it even worse. That's also why he's feeling like I don't think he's a homosexual because like.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Oh, well, that makes it even worse. Because like he like he's getting all like I don't know. He's really taking advantage of the female attention. Like he's doing content going on dates with like OnlyFans girls and things. I think he's hetero and I think he might have been addicted. And like that's why he's so ashamed of it. That's only what I gleaned like from what he says here. But interesting. Seen similar stuff?
Starting point is 00:53:48 You know, I'm a changed person. So people think he's faking all this stuff. Yes. I'll show you a video after where he kind of drops it. He admits it. He goes, yeah, I hype it up. I hype up the disability. That's more my issue my thing is
Starting point is 00:54:06 like this is i did not have sexual relations with that man i'm just kidding i did i'm just kidding no but my thing is like now wouldn't be a good time to just come out clean and live your true life like you're good man it came out drop the whole maybe he does you know he's on the spectrum whatever but the exaggeration of drop all that and just be your real self you're funny as it is dude like you don't like him having all those quirks and weird things it's entertaining but just be your real self now, dog. Sketch, when a cancer survivor last night broke character. He doesn't know he's being filmed. Can I give you this?
Starting point is 00:54:51 I'm a cancer survivor and I've had a double lung transplant. So I make bracelets. Congratulations. That's awesome. Proud of you. That's awesome. He does look like a thing. What is this?
Starting point is 00:55:00 Angels, what is it? Angie R. Lee is my Instagram name. Angie R. Lee? Yeah. Angie Rose.org. See, he's a regular dude. My thing is be that guy. What is this angels what is it? Angie R Lee My thing was be that guy Feel so much more free sketch be that guy. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. There's no twitch there. There's no shit Well be that guy we don't I don't want to I don't want to act like I understand how this affliction affects him in certain moments.
Starting point is 00:55:31 You know what I mean? His disability? Yeah. He's out in public, and he probably has to keep himself locked in, and he's interacting with people because he's probably aware of how it affects people around him. But he's famous enough where people, he's known for it.
Starting point is 00:55:51 I know, but when you're at home by yourself at your home, you kind of let yourself go. There's no holding back the thing that society makes you feel like you're a weirdo. Eric, you ever been around somebody with Tourette's without that condition? There is no control in it like that.
Starting point is 00:56:08 No, I mean. Like if you have it bad enough, like I've known a few people, there's no control in it like that. Also, he says he doesn't have Tourette's, but he does. No, he's on records going, yeah, I don't have it. I hype it up, you know. So it's like, bro, that's my issue. Again, I think you should make all the money in the world
Starting point is 00:56:26 and keep crushing it. I like this kid. My thing is, dude, now. Now's the time to start fresh. Like, yo, here I am. I did gay porn back in the day for some money. I wish I didn't. The whole Tourette's thing, I don't have it.
Starting point is 00:56:38 It was a thing I did to get some attention. This is me. He's still funny, still creative. People still like him him hold on a second man i it's it's not take my advice go blackface it's not that simple i i disagree that that's he'll be he'd be able to transition back into being no man because like i guess if that if he did that and then he really was just like hey hi hey guys there's some you know the people won't like that.
Starting point is 00:57:06 So stick with it. No, no, no. I'm just saying if he did that, it's great for him. But what I'm saying is that's a great release for himself. Yeah. But it doesn't mean everybody's going to be like, we're good, man. We're going to keep sending you money. No, I'm not saying that. He's going to take a hit.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Okay, well, that's what I'm saying. If it hits 20%, I'd rather take less 20 percent and live my best life yeah 100 live yours he's taking a hit no matter what because there are people are homophobic and they're jumping off the train no matter what he does but my thing dude now is the time start fresh dog well i don't know if people are jumping off the train they are he's getting like now he's getting like the attention that he doesn't really want so it's like i think that what people like to people like to jump on and like really go at you. Give them something to do.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Give them something to do. They're like, oh, man. So now it's like you say, all press is good press, they say. So I guess if all that attention is driving – You ever said that? Said that 40 years ago when there's newspapers? No, but I'm saying if it's driving – let's say like he has 1,000 – I'm just using this as a number if he has a thousand people that subscribers first you know
Starting point is 00:58:09 he has thousands of subscribers and so now this thing happened and now you know he has like now maybe he got more subscribers but 300 of them now are like haters just combined it's still more people they're still going to his thing so i, I don't know. That's interesting. It's a tough thing for a kid. Theo is a good person to talk to someone like that about. Dude, that kid about to win a headbutting contest. Yeah, this was just some video BBC posted of a 22-year-old politician who won. And it went insanely viral just because of his head. Really?
Starting point is 00:58:40 I grew up in quite a deprived rural area. He's Megamind. In the northeast of England. And kind of over that. I'm done. Internet wins again. Oh, there we got Megamind up there. Of course.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Look at him. He's Megamind. Every comment. There he is. Yeah. This is what I'm saying, though. Like, this is what I mean. It's like, someone sees something like that and they go, well, I'm jumping on.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's like a fun, you know what I mean? Like like someone sees something like that and they go well I'm jumping on you know what I mean so it's like it's like a fun you know what I mean like no one cares about like so let's say they find out this guy is gay and you know
Starting point is 00:59:13 he doesn't really have no this will be the thing he doesn't really have a big head like when he gets home he takes off he goes whoo
Starting point is 00:59:21 let me take my head off you know what I mean and then people are like, what? You don't really have a big head? This is outrageous, you know? So that's the thing, you know what I mean? Dude, I'll tell you what would suck. If you're that kid and you didn't have a high IQ but you got that giant head,
Starting point is 00:59:39 you have to be smart to have that big of a brain. Wait a minute. Have to. That's fucking crazy. Horrible. That's crazy, man. But it's not crazy if you're smart as fuck. Well, you know why he's smart?
Starting point is 00:59:49 He has to be smart. That's what I'm saying. You know, he's not. No, it's your only. He could do gay porn. It's like being a shredded black guy. If he was doing gay porn, it'd be like, you know, they call it twink head. It would be like being a shredded black guy and you're really unathletic.
Starting point is 01:00:03 It's like, what the fuck? Like this kid just like, he has a high IQ for 100%. God ain't going to give you that big head. They did him wrong. They did him dirty right here. They shouldn't be so zoomed in. No, he knows. No, man.
Starting point is 01:00:17 No, dude. They did him dirty. Bro, you think this is the camera guy? No, no. You think him getting famous? No, man. In high school and middle school in England, they probably lit his big head up. No, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:00:27 They did this guy dirty with that angle. It should not have been so zoomed in. It should have been like this, right? You know what he needs to do? They practically just went like this. You know the guy that's controlling the camera was like, look how big this guy's head is. This thing go viral. This guy's fucking head is huge.
Starting point is 01:00:44 No, you know what he should do is wear hats. He can't wear hats. A hat will look crazier on him. Look, look, wait. Or shave his head. No, pause it, Nick. Pause it right here.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Look at the size of his head compared to their heads. This is all a perspective thing. It looks fake. He should have been zoomed. They should have had more head space. It should have been a bird's eye view. They should have given him more head space here.
Starting point is 01:01:06 His head looks like a double-decker bus. It's fucking a disaster. Can I hear a little bit of this? Like, what's he? He's crushing it, though. That he's capable at 22. He's the first one whose A-level results were canceled during the pandemic. And as a result of that, I became a lot more interested in sort of what's going on politically.
Starting point is 01:01:23 And I kind of. Okay, I can't do it. Yeah. I can't do it. I can't do it. Yeah. I can't do it. I can't do it. He's very sane. I don't get why age means anything in politics. No, no, dude.
Starting point is 01:01:30 You looking at this guy is like looking at like a chick with like big-ass titties. Yeah, you cannot hear him. Just big-ass titties. And they're like – and they're not just big titties. She's got like a bikini top on and it's not covering the titties. And she's trying to talk to you about politics in a British accent. Yeah, it you would just be like i i can't not look at you know i can't i'm talking to this guy i would just stop him dude why the fuck is your head so big you'd be like big brain i would just go like he's talking i would just go like this dude he'd be like this
Starting point is 01:02:00 hold on man like this bro why what is this the thing's real though yeah you'd just be like this hold on man like this bro why what is this things real yeah you just be like is that how you man i wish he would just talk about that that's the kind of thing where every interview should start with like he should be like hello i know i have a huge head uh it's been a thing i've had my whole life can we just move on from it you know big head big brain anyways what else you got you can? You can't. It's like when you see a comic. Like if that guy was a comic, if this little dude was a comic, you can't just come on stage and not mention this shit at all.
Starting point is 01:02:34 What are we talking about? You guys seen this kid, the Rizzler? No. The Rizzler? The Rizzler, yeah. He's got merch. There's a dad and son that popped off because they're the Costco boys, and they go to Costco, and they make content, and they're pretty great.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Internet's great. He started showing up, and he's just... Taking over? He's just the man. How old is he? I don't know. Looks 40. But it just came out he had a gay OnlyFans. No, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Oh, I was like, mother. Five tricks. You do a pop-up, a no-hander, one-hander, Oh, I was like mother He's a kid he looks 47 his feet are big too though. Shout out to BMX. Alright, let's see what you got. It's not shut. Now you can get any dust or rocks in your eye. It looks like he's about to go to fucking...
Starting point is 01:03:35 And Brady got a bike too. How cute are you? That's what a kid is supposed to look like. No handle? This kid looks like his grandfather. And Brady really burning rubber right now. No handle? Hold on. This kid looks like his grandfather. I'm ready to really burn a rubber right now. All right, here we go. Hot, but it's super fast.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Super fast. Whoa, my God. It almost knocked me over. The end. Is that his dad talking? I think so. I've seen like two tricks. So with the helmet one, I was practicing. It almost fell, so I don't think I should do it.
Starting point is 01:04:02 I want to be safe. Because mommy said it's not safe? He's all the glasses I just love this This kid's great He looks 47 That kid's probably like 9 This is the Costco guys
Starting point is 01:04:15 They're like the modern day Partridge family Nick putting us on game today I haven't even heard of the Costco boys Nick doesn't watch TV I know Nick's just in his bed like this. I tell myself I'm working. We're Costco guys. Of course we have to try the new double chunk chocolate cookie.
Starting point is 01:04:36 The dad's a bro. They're not really my cup of tea. That's his son. I'm sure he's furious. It's an awesome slide. You get it. But what's the longevity? So they just do that every day?
Starting point is 01:05:04 They just dropped a track. They got the boom meter. I don't know. I think they got staying power. They just collabed with the Sam's Club boys, so that was pretty exciting. This is telling me a lot about Nick. Yeah. Like, this is not...
Starting point is 01:05:19 We're Costco guys. We got the chicken bank. Sam's Club guys. What do you got? Like, Nick's algorithm is trash. We're Costco guys. We got a double chunk chocolate cookie. Indian.
Starting point is 01:05:33 You know what we need to do? We should go to Air One and be like, we're Air One guys. We spend an entirely too much money on fucking fruit. That would actually kill. We're Air One guys. We're Air One guys. We spend $50 every day for chicken tenders. That would actually kill. We're Air One guys. We're Air One guys. We spend $50 every day for chicken tenders.
Starting point is 01:05:48 We're Costco guys. I told Don Johnson to get the fish. Yeah. No, Air One guys. Damn it. You fucked up the joke. You want to do a take two?
Starting point is 01:05:59 Out there for three days. Yeah. I think you should do that next week if you guys go eat lunch. That'd be funny. We're air one guys. We're air one guys. And it's just Chris not wanting to do it.
Starting point is 01:06:12 I'm not going to do this. Chris gets white rice and salmon and puts salt all over it every day. We're air one guys. We should do it. Nick, remind us. I will. We're air one guys. I can't it. Nick, remind us. I will. For Air One guys.
Starting point is 01:06:25 I can't believe that's a thing. It's, yeah. They probably did. It was probably like a thing where like the, it probably was the dad. It looks like it was the dad's idea. That dad's such like a Jersey bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:37 We're Costco guys. You know, they just did it. And then they're like. Double chunk chocolate chip. And people just like watching like. Weird shit. No, no. They're not. They're not trying too hard to be like actor-y.
Starting point is 01:06:48 They're clearly terrible at that. And people just like... People love sort of like genuine kind of like, oh, look at this father and son being fun. What's this chick about? So this is how that trend started. People go, we're whatever. And these people are really unlikable. but there's like really crazy ones out there. Dual income, no kids.
Starting point is 01:07:11 We're dinks. Of course we're going to go out to eat every night after work. We're dinks. We don't have to ask our family for financial help or to watch our kids when we want to go out. We're dinks. We're going to go to Costco and buy all the snacks in bulk that we want. We're dinks.
Starting point is 01:07:24 We have disposable income to spend on whatever we would like and don't have to spend on a kid. We're going to go to Costco and buy all the snacks in bulk that we want. We know. We have disposable income to spend on whatever we would like and don't have to spend on a kid. We're dinks. I'm going to go to every football game and play 18 holes whenever I want. We're dinks. We're going to get asked at every single family event what we're doing with our lives. Wait, are they together? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:40 That guy's out kicking this cover. I'm going to tell you the difference between them and the other people. They were trying too hard. They actually probably did a few takes. Those other guys, their dad's just like, just film me. Double chocolate chip. His wife's name's Janet. He's like, Janet, just do it.
Starting point is 01:08:00 You got to back up. Yeah, yeah, just do it. We're Costco guys. There's something genuine about that. I got Chris. I wanted Chris to weigh in on what he thought of the big head guy. It was kind of sad he wasn't here. Which guy?
Starting point is 01:08:13 The big head guy. Oh, I know. He has too much hair on top and not enough on the sides. That's his take. I feel like the picture doesn't really do it justice, but I feel like he'd really flip out that guy's big head. Well, he has to hear the British accent. Can you please tell him that?
