Episode Overview

In this lively episode of “Laugh with Me,” host Jeremy Odem reunites with his longtime friends—Eric Larson and his brother, Kyle Odom—for an evening overflowing with humor, playful trash talk, and nostalgic storytelling. The trio revisits recent road trip shenanigans, casino misadventures, foosball rivalries, and debates about iconic TV shows. With plenty of in-jokes, brotherly jabs, and anecdotes about sleep, parenting, and life’s odd turns, this episode leans into the joy of shared memories and the comedy of everyday life. The episode climaxes with a much-hyped foosball showdown, the stakes being whether Eric must, at long last, watch the beloved series Friday Night Lights.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Weekend Visits & The “Divorced Dad” Routine

• The friends muse on their recent string of weekend visits, likening their hangouts to divorced dads swapping custody. “I feel like a divorced dad. We have to get the kid every other weekend.” – Jeremy (04:21)
• Eric jokes that Jeremy is “the responsibility that's getting passed around” (04:43).
• Kyle’s legendary early bedtime is the butt of everyone’s jokes, with Eric dubbing him the “anchor” of the group, i.e., “the one you gotta take care of” (06:19).

2. The Anatomy of a Good Road Trip Group

• Eric breaks down the necessary roles in a friend group road trip: planner, navigator, wild card, and anchor. “You need the right mix of people and personalities to make each trip truly function.” – Eric (06:02)
• Absurd church-choir seriousness is contrasted with playful ribbing: “Luckily your daughter was able to fill in for you in the card game we were playing when you passed out.” – Jeremy (07:33)

3. The (Mis)Adventures in Trip Planning and the Casino Detour

• Hilariously uncoordinated trip planning, with blame volleyed back and forth. “I went a whole week thinking we’d decide Friday if we were going Friday or Saturday…but I didn’t know I was making that decision.” – Jeremy (08:11)
• The group recounts a casino stop, a run-in with blackjack dealer “Dylan,” and a literal rain tornado (“We drove through a literal rain tornado!” – Eric, 09:48).
• Jeremy admits fleeting blackjack glory: “The moral of the story is never give up, keep spending money.” (11:45) (Satirical, not financial advice!)

4. Mini-Debate: Who Pays on Celebrity Dates?

• The friends riff on Joe Burrow, Jessica Alba, and who pays for meals/snacks on celebrity dates, with Eric poignantly noting, “Is Jessica just like, hey, I don’t have any cash, this dress doesn’t have pockets?” (12:26)

5. Joke About Gender and History

• Running gag about Kyle “learning women can vote,” stemming from his daughter’s Susan B. Anthony school project. “Kyle found out women can vote.” – Jeremy (15:48)
• “Women be voting.” – Eric (14:00), sending up a classic “they always…” joke.

6. The Great Parallel Park Incident

• Hilarious story about Jeremy finally parallel parking and redeeming his reputation. “I did parallel park the vehicle.” (18:26)
• Kyle admits frustration over parking: “Here’s the deal. One of my biggest frustrations in life is going to a busy place and having to find a spot to park.” (17:40)

7. Costume Party Fails & Haircut Woes

• Eric recounts dressing as Mr. Clean–complete with bald cap–at Kyle’s Halloween wedding, “Nothing can match the relief of pulling that bald cap off.” (20:32)
• The group bickers about haircuts, with Kyle lamenting his “hippie” phase and Jeremy dreading the shave for their mustache contest (54:07–56:05).

8. The “Vacation Beard-Off”

• A spontaneous idea emerges: Everyone shaves as “Day 1,” then takes “after” photos a week later to compare beard growth. “If you’re gonna do it, I’ll do it.” – Jeremy (23:59)

9. Lost: The TV Series – Epic Rewatch Debate

• Heated debate: Which Lost season is the worst? Season 2 (“the hatch/button”) or Season 3 (“Jack’s tattoo”)?
• Eric flexes his fan cred, “Season three ends with the first flash forward.” (26:06)
• Jeremy admits nostalgia but hazy details: “It’s been 16 years since I’ve watched.” (30:37)

10. Why Eric Refuses to Watch Friday Night Lights

• A central, running gag: Eric refuses to watch Friday Night Lights simply because Jeremy and friends talked it up too much in high school. “I respect myself as a person too much to allow myself to watch just this boring movie where there’s somebody named Booby who’s not even a girl.” – Eric (35:50)
• Eventually, they agree to a foosball match: If Jeremy and Braden win, Eric must watch all of Friday Night Lights (Season 1); if Eric wins, Jeremy must record a history podcast on a topic of Eric’s choosing (41:37–46:10).

11. The Foosball Showdown (Starts: 56:45)

• The much-hyped “Team Extreme” foosball game, Jeremy/Braden vs. Eric/Kyle, is recapped.
• Jeremy’s “nuclear warfare” (i.e., strategic farting) is controversially credited as shifting the game’s momentum: “Does a fart change the wind…or mental capacity available to play?” (58:09)
• Jeremy/Braden win 10-9. Eric must watch Friday Night Lights!

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

  “You need a wild card that’s going to make whatever’s ordinary fun, and then you need an anchor, which is just somebody you got to take care of…Kyle, you filled the anchor role admirably.”

• On friendship:
  “Kids, if you think you got friends, you don’t. Because the second you fall asleep…they’re just waiting to pounce.”
  – Kyle (07:16)

• On gambling wisdom:
  “The moral of the story is never give up, keep spending money…Clear eyes, don’t stop, bet more.”
  – Jeremy and Eric, satirically hitting the absurdity of casino logic (11:46)

• On TV arguments:
  “You literally have no idea what happened in the season…Three is bigger than two, so three should be better than two.”
  – Eric, heated Lost-expert energy (27:04)

• Friday Night Lights Stand-off:
  “You think you would understand winning, except…in 2025 when I guess go making eye contact with Kyle right now.”

• Nostalgic and self-deprecating, with plenty of humble acknowledgement of aging (parallel parking, bedtime, haircuts, "Fat Face Jail").
• Several running gags, including learning women can vote, the ever-present fart jokes, and Eric’s aversion to Friday Night Lights.
• Lots of sincere affection underneath the mocking—this is old friends at their chummiest.

[D]

Is that true?

[B]

Yeah, I think you were. I think you were a nominee.

[D]

I don't think so.

[B]

You don't think you were?

[D]

I feel like I've been shadow band since like 2022.

[B]

Okay. He is a giant in the grocery industry. It's my brother. It is Kyle Odom. There you go. Big guest in studio today, guys. The sound effects for your open beer.

[D]

Open my beer?

[B]

You have a. You have a high noon.

[D]

Yeah, I got a few drinks over.

[B]

Hashtag no free ads. Okay, so we. This is. It's fun because it's back to back weekends. We're seeing you. This is great.

[D]

This is great.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Thanks for coming out, Eric.

[B]

How are we gonna see him next weekend? We gotta get out to his place again or. What are we doing? Are we just rotating every other weekend? I feel like a divorced dad. We have to like, you know, we have to like, get the kid every other weekend or something.

[D]

I'm down to rotate every weekend.

[E]

Balls in your guys court, obviously, because you're the kid.

[B]

You are.

[E]

You're the responsibility that's getting past. Passed around.

[D]

God damn it.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

What the hell?

[E]

I mean, when we're in your. Your home base last weekend and you're asleep by nine.

[D]

Hold on. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. We were playing a game. All was great. Next thing I know, I woke up and everybody's already gone.

[B]

Where'd everybody go? Where did everybody go?

[D]

Where did everybody go? You tell me.

[E]

Grant and I were downstairs having nice beer.

[D]

Not when I woke up. I heard radio silence when I woke up.

[B]

Well, yeah, we were all asleep at 1am when you pipe back up, where's everybody at?

[D]

Just saying I was ready to go 1am not my fault that you guys are asleep already.

[B]

This is actually good because imagine had we actually seen him on Friday night like I thought, and instead of Saturday night, I mean, how early would he have gone to sleep Saturday if we had a partied Friday night?

[E]

Well, and it also speaks to good.

[B]

He's looking at me like, what the hell? Why is this hate on me night.

[E]

You know, I feel like one of the things that you learn as you go through life is that you need the right mix of people and personalities to make each trip true function.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Like, you need somebody who can say, hey, it's time to go. You need somebody who's aware enough to do directions.

[B]

Yep.

[E]

And, you know, you need a wild card that's going to, you know, make whatever's ordinary fun.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

And then you need an anchor, which is just somebody who you got to take care of and make sure that, you know, they're not getting themselves in trouble or, you know, when they do pass out at 9pm that they're safe.

[D]

Oh, my gosh.

[E]

At home. And, you know, Kyle, you filled the anchor role.

[B]

You were the anchor admirably.

[E]

Like.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I mean, just, you know, when you think about that liability, I mean, it comes in many different forms. I mean, we've had a friend of ours that was a liability because he would disappear. I would much rather have Kyle the liability who just falls asleep.

[B]

He did just disappear. He lost all his stuff. He was a constant issue.

[E]

I was really hoping that Kyle would respond to that. Oh, Instead I ran into big brother. Big brother started sticking up for little bro. Little bro.

[B]

Yeah. Kyle, you suck, dude. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Kids, if you're at home, just know that if you think you got friends, you don't. Cause the second you fall asleep, you've been working real hard. You've been waking up early, getting stuff done. The second you fall asleep, they're just waiting to pounce.

[B]

Just know that.

[D]

Just know that. Don't ever fall asleep.

[B]

Luckily, your daughter was able to fill in for you in the card game. We were in the middle of playing when you passed out.

[D]

Yeah, she's good stuff.

[C]

She's.

[D]

She's good filling in. I know that the card game was the most appropriate for her to be playing, but we got through it. You guys got through it. I guess I was sleeping quite possibly

[E]

the smartest Odom I've ever met.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

She pretty bright.

[D]

Might I. I won't argue against that.

[B]

So. Yeah. So if you. You couldn't gather. So last week we had an awesome time coming to your place to visit you. But circle. I just want to rewind a little bit because I didn't know we weren't going to see you Friday. Yeah, so.

[D]

Because you're bad at planning.

[B]

Because. Oh, I'm bad at planning.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm not. I. I'm a communicator, so I like to know what's up. And Eric Here, he's just like, we're going. We're going Friday, and we got to go now. So then that whole thing happens. In fact, it got to a point where it was, like, noon. So I went, like, a whole week, thinking we were just gonna, like, decide Friday we're going Friday or going Saturday. And instead we were going a whole week of me not deciding if we were staying in Des Moines on Friday night and. Or going to Saturday. And I didn't know that I was making that decision. So when Friday came and the noon came and I hadn't made this decision I didn't know I was making. Eric's like, so I guess we're not going. I'm like, all right, we're going to. And then we leave. We're literally 40 minutes, like, from Des Moines. And I make a joke. I'm like, oh, we should hit up a casino, play some blackjack. Because, honestly, some blackjack sounds fun. And Eric's like, yeah, I think that's what we're doing. And next thing you know, I find out we're. We're staying in Des Moines and not actually driving the next few hours to get to you.

[D]

Yeah, you're really bad at plans. I think everybody was aware of this.

[B]

This is not on you.

[D]

This is on you. I text you guys on Wednesday. I said, give me plans.

[E]

Is this going to be the cut break for the podcast? Cuz I feel like that was a really long story to basically say Jeremy was not paying attention.

[B]

Yeah, apparently I had no clue what was happening in my life there. But I'll tell you what. We went. We had fun Friday night blackjack. Kyle, I will say you missed out on a hell of a night at the casino Friday night.

[D]

I don't do casino.

[B]

I know you don't, but we. So what, Dylan, was it? Dylan.

[D]

We don't like Dylan.

[B]

Dylan was the dealer. What was his name?

[E]

Well, first you got to mention. I mean, we drove through, like, a literal rain. Tornado.

[B]

Wait, wait. In Des Moines?

[E]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. It did there. All right. There was some rain on the drive to the casino, but we. We didn't. We didn't. Grant.

[E]

Okay, all right.

[B]

I was cruising. I was still, I think, trying to figure out if. Where I was staying, because I didn't. I was just trying to, like, put it all together. But we go through this rainstorm, get to the casino. The rain let up when we got to the casino. That was nice. Yeah.

[E]

And the sun came out, and the

[B]

sun came out tomorrow. And we got to the casino, and we're able to get a nice table. Three of us sit and play some blackjack. And. And I think his name was Dylan.

[F]

Yes, the.

[B]

The dealer who absolutely murdered us for who knows how long. I don't know how long. We played an hour or so before his break. And I ran through every chip I had on the table before having to decide to dig deep and go back out there. You were sitting.

[E]

I always wonder if Ashley listens, if your wife listens to these podcasts.

[B]

We're about to find out. Yeah.

[E]

And I feel like it's pretty much been assured that. No, she does not. Because otherwise, I do not think that.

[B]

I mean, I would be divulging.

[E]

I mean, you're a guy. You bet the odds.

[B]

You're.

[G]

You're giving.

[E]

You're telling people how to gamble. You can't tell us that you lost all your chips.

[B]

Well, the thing is, I lost, yes, but I put more money out there. I lost some more.

[E]

Sometimes you just have to double down.

[B]

And then I came back and won, what, three, four, bold. And went on an absolute tear. So the. I think the moral of the story is never give up, keep spending money. That's the. That's the story, right? Is that the clear eyes. That's the moral story.

[F]

Stop.

[E]

Bet more.

[B]

Yep. Clear eyes don't stop at more. That's what the. That's the moral of the story, kids.

[D]

That's not the moral story. Okay. Avoid casinos.

[E]

Regular Joe Burrow right here.

[D]

Save your money. You think Joe Burrow drink milk, eat good breakfast. I am a real American.

[B]

I really actually was about to ask, do you think Joe Burrow goes to casino? And there is actually a news story from this last week. Yeah, I was like, that popped up ahead. I'm like, actually, he does play blackjack. Yeah.

[D]

Joe Burr is the man. Maybe I'll get back in a casino.

[B]

Is he dating Jessica Alba?

[D]

No, they're just hanging out.

[B]

Are you sure? Yeah.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

All right.

[E]

Because that was the next question was just going to be. All right, so Joe Burrow and Alba are playing blackjack. Like, who's fronting the money? Like, is it. Oh, yes. Are they both like Jessica's? Just like, hey, you know, I have any cash. This dress doesn't have any pockets. You know, is that something where Joe Burrow's expected to, you know, pull a grand out of the atm?

[D]

Oh, he could do.

[E]

Or, you know, is it kind of an equal?

[D]

I would say they're both probably equally rich, right? Yeah, like a ton of awesome movies.

[B]

She's Got her own life. Yeah.

[E]

I mean, it's. Or, you know, we. We bring it over. It's like, all right. Does Kelsey ever, like, buy dinner?

[D]

No.

[E]

For Taylor Swift. But even if you can't like that, does it mean anything?

[B]

Like, I think that's why they eat his steakhouse so often, because he gets it calm.

[D]

No. They're just trying to keep it in business. Yeah.

[B]

That's fair.

[D]

Yeah. Taylor just like, oh, how cute. You bought a meal. Anyway, here's a. Do you want an island? I buy you an island. Like, would you like that?

[E]

Her dinner dates are private jet to the.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

They literally built the Runway on the island just for her private jet to land.

[B]

I just want to call out that Eric knew women's clothes didn't have pockets. I think that was a huge call out that we did that. We should have jumped on that initially. That was big.

[D]

That was big.

[B]

That's big.

[E]

They can also vote.

[B]

They.

[E]

They also learn that tonight.

[B]

Yes. The clothing women.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

We did learn this.

[B]

We did learn this.

[E]

Women be voting.

[B]

They always be voting.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Which is a good.

[D]

Susan B. Anthony was already dead.

[B]

So for clarity before we're. I'm canceled because you guys telling you

[D]

how it went down.

[B]

My daughter was Susan B. Anthony. Actually, my dog. She, you know, former guest of the show, friend of the pod. Hattie. She was Susan B. Anthony in a class project and gave a little speech. And. Yeah. And it was actually. It's funny because it's like people come and they watch them. Eric just ripped the biggest ass and it's waving. This is why we need video so people can see Eric just waving his dirty ass.

[D]

Videos. Video coming. Season two, folks, we are literally ready. Video coming your way.

[B]

Is that a joke?

[D]

No promoting.

[B]

You have jokes here, But the. Yeah. Susan B. Anthony. And you. You drop quarters in the bucket in front of them, and then they give their little speech. And I just was. We were just, like, tossing quarters in there as soon as he was done. More quarters. Just keep saying the damn speech over and over and over. And a lot of her friends are coming over and they're like, yeah, nobody else was here. So we left, and hats had to keep going because we were feeding that thing. She was not having it, but. Yeah, that's how you keep the education alive, you know, Keep the education system alive.

[D]

Got to. And we learned a lot tonight.

[B]

Yeah, we really did. See you had no idea when we could vote until tonight. Yeah.

[D]

This is a revelation to me. I'm proud.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

So as you don't get it. Don't get it twisted.

[B]

Yep. Well, that was fun. Now. So we're not getting canceled. That needs to be Spotify. That generates the chapters. Make sure there's a chapter titled kyle found out women can vote. Yes.

[D]

Thank you. There you go.

[B]

Okay, that's good. I think. I think that's how that works. You just have to call it out and then it. It generates.

[D]

Because it's not like we didn't want that to happen.

[B]

No, we want.

[D]

We just found out that it was legit.

[B]

Yes. You think they were just canceling their votes before. Correct. They're just coming to hang out.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't know.

[B]

We're good, though. That's awesome. But, yeah. Blackjack, baby. We went on a terror. What'd you come out with, Eric? I lost. Oh, boy. Oh, okay. And I think. How did it. How did grant turn out?

[E]

He lost.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

What?

[B]

Well, I went on a tear. I don't know what to tell you.

[E]

I. I always feel like that's. That the moral of the story with

[B]

blackjack is, like, one person especially.

[E]

Yeah. If you go with. If you go with three people, it's guaranteed that one of them's going to win and the other two are going to lose. And you probably would have been better off just rock, paper, scissoring outside for $100. J, you won. Here's $100 from both of us. All right. Let's go home.

[B]

One. One other highlight, like, because that was. That was Friday night, and then Saturday, we went. We actually went to go visit Mary. And then, like, one of the highlights of that night was you could parallel park. I finished it for you. I parallel parked the vehicle downtown. I just wanted to put that out on the record.

[D]

Yeah, that might be true. I tried.

[B]

You did try.

[D]

I did try. Here's the deal. You parallel park when you get your license, and then you never do again. And so I'm 100 years removed from getting my license. So I was like, I'm tired of looking for a spot. Here's one. Let's get after it. And it just didn't quite end how I thought it would.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

You had a lot of old man energy during the whole process.

[B]

I couldn't.

[D]

I'm getting mad.

[E]

I'm too old to learn this. I'm too old to try this.

[D]

That's not true. That's not true. Here's the deal. One of my biggest frustrations in life is going to a busy place and having to find a spot to park. It's very frustrating, and so I finally found that spot and I was like, okay, well we'll figure this out. And we figured it out as a team.

[B]

We did figure it out.

[E]

We figured it out by putting Jeremy behind the wheel.

[B]

Which is interesting because I famously in our friends group have a reputation of not being able to park. Even though I'm a hell of a Parker, hell of a driver and I get a lot of crap for not because of one trip to St. Louis we took. And. And in fact I'll even go on the record and say I didn't do anything wrong on that trip either. But you sons of gave me all the hell in the world and it's lived with me for over 20 years. But here I am saying I did parallel park the vehicle.

[D]

So this is true.

[E]

It did. My, my defense for not parallel parking is I'm not sure that I could

[B]

have stopped laughing if you were trying to do it.

[E]

Yeah, if I was doing it. If I had to take over for Kyle parking a car, dude, like I just do not think, I do not think that I could have kept together.

[B]

So.

[E]

All the kudos in the world to you.

[B]

Thank you.

[E]

You deserve the accolades.

[B]

I'm pretty excited about it.

[D]

This bullshit. There's already two cars there and you got to figure out how to get in the middle of them.

[E]

That was like a 15 foot spot.

[B]

It was tough.

[D]

I'm driving a full on car.

[E]

Yes. Okay.

[D]

And I gotta fit that thing in the middle of two others. It's tough.

[B]

Yeah. This, this parallel park and discussion is brought to you by Fireball. So here's a. Here's a shot. Cheers fellas. Pitbull. Pitbull. Fireball. He doesn't get enough credit for that.

[D]

He doesn't get enough credit. He doesn't get enough credit for a lot of things. He. He brought bald heads into the popularity.

[B]

So that's the thing. People will put on bald caps to go see him live in concert. Yep.

[D]

A lot of folks thought Mr. Clean invented that.

[B]

They're wrong. No, it was pit.

[D]

Yes. Thank you.

[E]

Also, do not wear a bald cap to a wedding.

[D]

But you should cuz it was great. Everybody was like Pitbull. And you're like, I got this broom. I'm clearly not Pitbull.

[E]

Kyle got what? Kyle got married. It was on Halloween. Costume party. Halloween party. I was Mr. Clean. I've never been so sweaty underneath that ball cap.

[B]

The only thing, the ball cap was

[E]

falling apart just due to the amount of moisture coming off of my head.

[B]

The only thing that would have made it worse is if you had some kind of, like, makeup or something to go with your costume, that would have been a nightmare.

[E]

Covered my, like, eyebrows over to, like, make it more like that, like. Yeah, no, that was miserable. Nothing can match the relief of pulling that bald cap off.

[D]

Was your hair just, like, the most disgusting?

[E]

Yes, it was just saturated in water.

[D]

That's awesome.

[B]

What'd you. What was the rest of your. What was your. Was a white T shirt?

[E]

Yeah, just had the white T shirt tucked into jeans.

[B]

Oh. At least you had, like, a pretty clean, like, look, like.

[E]

Yeah, Well, I mean, the nice thing was too, you had. I had the mop out there on the dance floor. So it was. It's always good to have a prop. Yeah, it's good to have a prop out on the dance floor. And that was great.

[B]

I had to wear the damn polo because I was Gilligan. Oh, and I had that hat on, though, that little white hat. That was nice.

[E]

That was just your normal look.

[B]

I feel like that most. Most of that was me other than

[D]

Gilligan for a whole year.

[B]

A whole year. That's. I commit, like, whenever somebody gets married, whatever I wear to the wedding, I commit to wearing the whole year in honor of them.

[D]

That's fair.

[B]

So whenever I'm involved in the wedding and have to wear, like, a tux or something, it gets odd at times because I'm wearing a freaking tuck. And it gets expensive because I haven't bought a tuck. So I rented that. You ran that thing all year renting it? I have not. Because I'm only gonna need it for a year. I don't need it every year.

[D]

That's fair.

[E]

So that's one of those things. Anytime you hear people that are like, oh, I'm gonna do a mustache. Gonna do a mustache either, you know, for this event and. All right. When did you. When did you start growing it out? Oh, like two weeks.

[B]

No, no, no, no.

[E]

That's a good eight week project. Like, if you want a full, like, dense mustache.

[B]

So you're a guy who can grow, like, you can grow some facial hair.

[E]

Yes.

[B]

You generally have the goat going at all times. Yeah. When. When you decide, all right, I'm gonna do just dash, because I remember last summer you did the. You did the cousins thing where you did best mustache or whatever, and you shaved it down to the mustache. So when you're in that situation, I'm just stashed. When do you do the shave? Day of long before to work on it. What do you do?

[E]

Well, so I'll stop shaving the Goatee. I'll stop trimming it back, but I'll normally do that about four or five weeks beforehand.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

And I'll just let it kind of grow in and I'll just trim it above the lips.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Because I don't like the. I don't like the whiskers.

[D]

Yeah, that's. That's trash.

[E]

Yeah. But I think a lot of people wait until the last moment. They're just like, well, I can grow facial hair. Well, yeah, we all can.

[B]

Yeah, sure. Yeah.

[D]

But, yeah, we all cannot. I can't believe you just said but.

[B]

You need.

[E]

You need the density of. You need the facial hair to be.

[B]

Well, Kyle, you're day one vacation right now.

[D]

Day one.

[B]

So. Yeah.

[D]

Shaved yesterday.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

And that's fine. I feel something. We'll see what the end of the week. So what if.

[B]

Hey, hear me out. What if day one, right now.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

We take a picture at the end of vacation, no shave. We take another picture and we see kind of the growth.

[D]

Two pictures.

[B]

Two pictures.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Can we do it?

[D]

I think we can do that.

[B]

Okay. I think. I think we can do this.

[D]

Okay. Don't. It's not gonna be much.

[E]

Not gonna be much vacation.

[B]

How long you on vacation? How many days?

[D]

One week.

[B]

One week?

[D]

I don't know. How many days is a week?

[E]

I'm kind of tempted. If he's not gonna shave, I will shave tomorrow.

[B]

Oh,

[E]

take the clean shave a picture, and I will also take the picture at the end.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Hey, if you. If you're gonna do it, I'll do it.

[D]

Whoa, this is getting wild.

[B]

If you'll do it, I'll do it. I'll clean shave it too. We'll all clean shave and then we'll. We'll figure it out. A week from tomorrow, we'll take the picture. Okay.

[D]

All right. Okay, let's roll.

[B]

Are we. We doing this?

[E]

Sounds like.

[B]

Sounds like. This is exciting.

[D]

This is not good.

[B]

This is exciting.

[D]

This is like a race that I have no control over.

[B]

You got to make sure you don't shave.

[D]

Well, I can do that.

[B]

I don't want any.

[D]

I wouldn't it be worse for me if I shaved?

[B]

But I could see you being like, it's not going to be good anyway. I'll just take the L and call it good. And I'm clean. I'm baby faced the whole time.

[D]

Typical Yankee.

[B]

Typical Yankee.

[D]

Just typical Yankee. I would just win.

[B]

But you know, speaking of the Yankees, we're at war right now with Iran, and I'm just kidding.

[D]

This guy

[B]

Spot. If I make that a chapter. So what? So before we started recording, we were talking about like Lost. And I thought that was an interesting conversation because we were talking about. You look at me like you don't remember what we were talking about.

[D]

I remember.

[B]

Okay, so we were talking about like TV episodes and like, like, or like seasons that like were good or bad or whatever. And we're kind of ranking it. We're. The three of us are big fans of the show Lost, but the season two, not very good. Probably the worst of all the seasons.

[D]

Season two was the button.

[B]

Season two is the, is the, is the hatch. Yes.

[E]

Season three was the worst season that was.

[D]

But season two was the button.

[B]

Yeah, season three is great. Yeah. Because season three, I thought they were, they, they had realized what they were doing.

[E]

No, season three was still when they were like, that's when you have the Jack tattoo episode.

[D]

Yeah, I agree.

[E]

I think season four, like, they kind of like ran out of backstory for these guys. They were like, we have to keep doing flashbacks. But it wasn't until the end of season three that they were like, we got to stop. We got to stop doing this. Well, at the end of season three ends with the first spoiler alert. Ends with the first flash forward.

[B]

Oh, season three ends with that. But that's why I thought they. That's when they figured out what they were doing. But that. Okay, I think it must have been in the middle of that season.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

When they figured that out and then they filmed to do the flash.

[E]

Season three is pretty formless. That's one where they, they start Sawyer and Jack and Kate out on the separate island and they're just hanging out there for six episodes.

[D]

That was great.

[B]

I didn't mind that at all, honestly. Yeah.

[D]

I don't know why do you love the frickin button season? They're holding folks hostage to push a button and you're like, this is riveting television.

[B]

Do you think the three of them on that separate island had a threesome? We didn't just. We didn't see it because it's on network television.

[E]

No, we already know that Kate and Sawyer banged and Jack saw it on the camera and he was offended, which caused him to collaborate. Like, did you watch the show?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. It's been a minute.

[D]

Geez.

[B]

Yeah. Should we do. Should we rewatch now?

[D]

Jo has never seen Lost.

[B]

I've seen. This is.

[E]

This is why I. This argument is aggravating to me because you guys have no idea what happened in the season.

[B]

I've Been a minute.

[E]

And you're just like, no, no, no. Three is bigger than two, so three should be better than two.

[B]

I do know that two was the hatch, and I enjoy the hatch. But it wasn't the best of the of the seasons is all they're saying, because it didn't really progress. Where did it progress us? Where? You tell me right now with from beginning to end. What did season two progress us to?

[E]

Season two?

[B]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah. Folks thought, look at that. Here's the deep America Jack sleep, like,

[E]

not wanting to push the button. And he asked Lock, and he's just like, why is it so easy for you to believe? And then Lock comes back and he's like, it's never been easy.

[B]

It's true. You did all that happened.

[E]

It introduces Desmond.

[B]

That was the best part. Okay. The best charact.

[E]

He's riding his bicycle. He's just hanging out. He's listening to records.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Kyle, do you know what a record is?

[F]

I do.

[E]

That's what music was on before the cassette, actually.

[D]

Okay, Mr. Hater of Physical media, get out of here.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I love how you're trying to justify a whole season based on like one scene. You're like, this happened and it was great. Yeah, we get that. Doesn't make it not the worst season of all time in Lost history.

[B]

We literally took Anna Lucia, got shot. She should have, and she didn't even matter.

[D]

Hey, when did they write I love you on their hand or whatever.

[B]

The Pennies boat.

[D]

Yeah. When was that?

[E]

That was on the end of season three.

[D]

Yeah, that was great. Which is why season three is bad

[B]

and too all time episode. Yeah.

[E]

What about when Echo locked everybody out?

[B]

When was, what season was that?

[E]

Season two.

[B]

Exactly.

[D]

No one wanted that one.

[B]

Exactly.

[D]

Yeah. No one.

[B]

This.

[E]

He had his stick and he beat people with it because it had scripture on it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

That was terrible.

[B]

Did you think Echo was a character that probably should have lasted longer?

[E]

Yeah, he was intended to.

[B]

Oh, really?

[E]

Yeah. They, they said that in the script he was intended to have some of John Locke's character progression.

[B]

What happened?

[E]

Being this, like, faith based.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Character. But he wanted out. He was miserable filming the show. I feel like.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Because you know what this is telling me? You need a Lost episode. You need to bring Grant and I on this because we obviously know a lot more about this show than you guys.

[B]

I'm gonna fight you tonight.

[D]

I've seen Lost.

[B]

Yeah, I've seen it. I, I. Here's what I need to do, because when, when was that, like, when. When did it end? When did Lost end? Will we. Johnny, will you look that up, please? Because I need to know when Lost ended so we know how long it's been. Because I don't think I've done a full. From beginning to end re. Watch. Yeah, seriously, since I. I've rewatched and watched a lot of episodes. The, like the pilot part, probably no less than a dozen times I've watched since then because it's just incredible. And I've watched probably season one a number of times and then bits and pieces of other episodes. But from beginning to end, rewatch. No, I haven't seen it since. Since then. So. But. All right, so the end, the final episode aired May 23, 2010. Thank you, Johnny. So that. It's been 16 years almost since we've watched.

[E]

Is this your target demographic? Lost is the. It's your fan base. Is the people that know about Lost a show that's ended 16 years ago?

[D]

Absolutely.

[B]

No, my.

[D]

My.

[B]

My audience likes to know the room, right?

[E]

Is the audience in the room?

[B]

The audience is in the room right now, yes. You guys, you guys are my audience. And I just want you to know if it's been a long time since I've seen it. So my point is, if you guys need to come on here to talk Lost and show me up, I will rewatch and show you all, is my point. Like, I, I probably just needed a little bit of excitement to get me going and rewatch. That's my point. What do you got to say to that? So what I thought that is what I.

[F]

This week on Point game with me, C.J. tolodon and Isaiah Thomas, we're doing a live Q and A and it talks about what it was like playing for Celtics while him and his dad both grew up lifelong Lakers fans. Take a listen.

[H]

I'm always going to be a Laker fan. That's just what I grew up on. So like when I, when I was in Boston, it's just. You just can't say nothing. Lakers, you can't say nothing.

[B]

La.

[H]

That's the only. That's the only downside of it. But it was like at least my Kobe's was green. Like they wasn't tripping that, you know, my Kobe's wasn't green. But I don't know, it's a weird dynamic. But I got love for the Celtics, obviously. But I got real love for the Lakers and I let that be known while I was there, too. So that couldn't. That couldn't be.

[E]

That mad at me.

[H]

I just was going for the Celtics when I was on the Celtics.

[E]

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't being quiet because you won an argument.

[B]

Yeah, I did.

[E]

I was being quiet because I was hoping that you go to the next topic.

[B]

Oh yeah, we can go on to the next one. Which is what? Why won't you watch Friday Night Lights?

[E]

I refuse.

[B]

One of the all time shows of all time.

[D]

Why do you refuse?

[E]

Actually, I don't really know why, Saracen. I think it was just because Jeremy and a friend of ours would talk just incessantly about this damn movie and

[B]

you're like, how dare they enjoy something Spotify. Name this chapter why Eric will never watch Friday Night Lights at dumb.

[E]

Yeah, and I. I think I declared to myself that, you know, I. I respect myself as a person too much to allow myself to watch just this just boring movie where there's somebody named Booby who's not even a girl.

[B]

Do you like winning? Do you like winning?

[E]

Well, I've never experienced it.

[B]

Oh, well, former fantasy football champion. You think you would understand win except

[E]

in 2025 when I guess go making eye contact with Kyle right now.

[B]

Yeah, you didn't win. He did.

[D]

I don't want to win. There's somebody.

[B]

Well, if you want to win.

[E]

If you want to win.

[D]

Not gonna go into that right now, but look at you. So you can't quote the movie that you're refusing to watch.

[E]

That's not how the movie watch it. I understand the main plot point.

[D]

That's not the main plot point.

[E]

Booby. If you want to win, put Booby in.

[B]

Do you not want to win? Do you not love football? Do you not love small town Texas?

[E]

I do not like small town Texas.

[B]

Two out of three ain't bad, brother. Because this show, this movie, this book is incredible.

[D]

Just lost all our Texas listeners.

[B]

Sorry, we just lost Texas. Thanks a lot. This is Texas, you know Texas. A big state, right? I need their listenership.

[E]

Well, then you guys need to make a point that's better than mine. Like that's the problem. I keep making these great points. You guys don't have great arguments against them.

[D]

Literally, your reason for not watching it is because other people enjoyed it. That's the dumbest.

[B]

That's literally his argument.

[E]

Well, in high school.

[D]

Okay, you're 100 years older.

[B]

Yes, we are past high school and we still love it. Does that change your mind?

[D]

Watch this.

[E]

I don't know that I'm past high school.

[D]

All right, Eric, since he won an award that he straight up stole, he will now commit to watching Friday Night.

[E]

I will not.

[B]

He's all right. What? All right, let's bet on something. And if you lose, you will watch Friday Night Lights. Deal.

[D]

I, I, the Padres will win a playoff game for the Twins.

[B]

Let's just, let's just agree on. That's the stakes. I'll watch something that I've never seen. So you watch Friday Lights. What will I watch?

[E]

I think you're underestimating how stubborn I am.

[B]

Yeah, I get how stubborn you are. I think you're underestimating how stubborn I am.

[D]

I can't watch you.

[B]

Yeah. Me.

[E]

Johnny, you hearing this?

[B]

Okay, so those are the stakes. We don't know the bet yet, but let's agree on the stakes. Deal.

[E]

No.

[B]

No. What? What?

[E]

No,

[B]

you.

[D]

I've never seen somebody just absolutely back down.

[B]

Just.

[D]

No. What if we did this? Just complete backing down.

[B]

I offered something on the other side. Yeah. Like I was like, well, yeah, I've never seen a.

[D]

Just a grown ass adult just be like, I am refusing to go up against this because I know that I'm foolish.

[B]

I, I'm willing to do one game foosball. You, you say you're, you're this electric player on offense in foosball.

[E]

I don't say that. I am that.

[B]

And I'm willing to play player.

[E]

Professional foosball.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

I can't argue this.

[B]

So here's the deal. Here's the stakes. You, Kyle, team Extreme, as you call yourself, foosball against me.

[D]

Okay?

[B]

And I'll. I'll bring in Braden. I'll bring in Braden as my partner. We'll play one game to 10.

[D]

Okay?

[B]

First to 10 wins. If we win, you watch Friday Night Lights. If you win, I watch. What. What's something you like? I've never watched. It's got to be something out there, right? I'll read a book. Name a book and I'll read.

[D]

First of all, you won't read it.

[B]

Ye. I read never one book. I've read one book this year.

[D]

Literally.

[B]

Never read a book in your life. I read one book this year.

[D]

Do you know words of the English language?

[B]

Three words.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Yourself. Okay.

[D]

It's not even three words, actually.

[B]

Yo.

[D]

Doesn't count.

[B]

Does that not count?

[D]

No.

[B]

I thought when MTV did Yo, MT Raps that. Like that, like.

[D]

Not in the. It's not in the language.

[B]

Okay. That did a thing.

[D]

So I'm on your team trying to keep you from watching Friday Night Lights, even though in reality I want you to watch Friday Night Lights.

[B]

Correct.

[D]

This is.

[B]

Yeah. Unless you want to be on my team. I'll. No.

[D]

Because I'll try. My team, you can't break up team Stream no matter what. I just wish you would watch Friday Night.

[B]

I try. I'm willing to do this foosball game. What are we thinking? You. Eric, you're thinking way too hard. This is like. This is the Eric Eric has. How many years has Eric stood on I will never watch Friday Lights that to come to this moment here, he's really having to make an internal decision.

[E]

This is. This is a lot of pressure.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

This is more pressure than you've brought upon me.

[B]

I could tell. I can tell.

[E]

20 plus years.

[B]

I can tell on your face.

[D]

Oh, you're gonna make me enjoy a show for five seasons.

[B]

He's gonna end up liking it. That's the thing.

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

It's gonna be a whole thing. Jeez, I'm.

[E]

No, no, no. I'm more thinking of the other side of what can I make you do?

[B]

Yeah. Oh, I don't want to have to do. I mean, I. I guess I'll do whatever. I mean, I'm willing to make the bet to play the game.

[E]

I'm kind of leaning towards history podcast of me picking the subject and we

[B]

record a history podcast.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[D]

Oh, God.

[B]

That's gonna be lame as. But I'm in.

[D]

No, actually, that would be great. You would just be confused as the whole time.

[B]

Do I get to talk?

[E]

Yeah, obviously. I mean, there. There'd be homework in stuff that you need to know, and that's into the show.

[B]

That's what I was gonna ask was do I have knowledge or not? Not that I have knowledge. I will not have knowledge of the topic, but will I know the topic so I can prepare?

[E]

Yes. Yes.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

I'll have to think about it. I'll have to think about what the subject would be, but there will be some sort of reading, podcast, movie show to watch.

[B]

Here's the thing. We do the deal. I will. If I lose, and I won't, I will do all the homework possible to make this the best frickin. History podcast has ever been. If I win, though, and I will, you're watching Friday Night Lights, the movie and the series. I'm not gonna make you read the

[E]

book, one or the other.

[B]

All right, what do you think, Kyle? The movie or the book or the series?

[E]

I think the movie sounds a lot more doable.

[D]

Definitely.

[B]

This is an hour and a half.

[D]

Definitely the series.

[B]

The series is where it's at.

[D]

Series is where it's at. And here's the deal.

[B]

I think that's more comparable to what he would. I would have to do if I lost because I'm gonna have to do all the homework. Watch movies, read books, study, put together, prep, then record a podcast.

[E]

Do any prep for this show.

[B]

Are you kidding me? I lived the whole life. Yeah.

[D]

Prepare for this show all life.

[B]

Dude, I won in blackjack. I had to ride in a car with you and not know where I was going.

[D]

Sure. Driving east. And then he. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. First of all, we're gonna win, so we're not even concerned.

[B]

So this is just nothing here.

[D]

You're saying there's nothing here, but here's the deal. What. What's the tell all? Why we're gonna win, okay, is because he said recorded history podcast. Your response was, it's gonna be boring as fuck. No, fuck. History is fucking awesome. You need to learn your lesson so it's happening. And just get ready because you don't understand the world.

[B]

My response was, was reactionary to the fact that he. He was trying to punish me. So I said that because I'm like, you can't punish me.

[D]

He's trying to educate the world.

[E]

I. I don't know if you've met my hype man. He's your brother.

[B]

Yeah, I've met him.

[D]

He's trying to educate the world because

[B]

I, although I don't listen, like, here's the thing, I do listen to history podcasts because I listen to podcasts that reflect back on like, pro wrestling history.

[D]

I love progress.

[B]

I listen to podcasts that reflect and dive into how songs were made.

[D]

I've heard a song that's history.

[B]

I listen to like, re watches of TV shows and like, different things. So to say I don't like history is incorrect. I do. Now, I. I do know what type of history that Eric's going to make. The subject of this pot. I don't know the subject, but I know the kind of the idea. With that being said, I got a lot of work ahead of me. So with that Being said, yeah, you

[D]

do, because you're about to lose.

[B]

That's where I'm like, well, if I lose, I know what I got ahead of me. If I win, this fellow is going to probably need to at least watch the series of Friday Night Lights.

[E]

I would commit to the first season.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

But if I like it, then I'm required to finish it.

[B]

Okay, that's bullshit. Answer. Do you remember how many episodes were season one? We. Johnny?

[D]

22.

[B]

Can we look that up? It probably is in the 20s, but I just want to make sure because we're talking probably 45 minute episodes or so. 40 minute episodes because it's an hour. And then, you know, commercials, whatnot. So we're. I just want to make sure we're being apples to apples here because I'm gonna have to learn a lot about whatever. So it's probably 22. It's 22 episodes. So I'm willing to say season one, done deal. Season one, first season from beginning to end. And we'll. We'll record. We'll record an episode of Laugh with me discussing that season. Is that. Is that good? Because. And then if I win or if you win, we're gonna do this history podcast. We're gonna do this history podcast. Okay. All right, that's fair. And you can choose the subject and. And how long the episode is. So if it's like a multi hour episode, I mean, I've got work to do. I know that. I know. Whatever it is. I might have to learn what the we're talking about.

[D]

If this episode's less than four hours, I'll be so sad.

[E]

Hold on, hold on. I'm not confusing Jeremy with Dan Carlin. Do you guys know who Dan Carlin is?

[B]

No, but I'm sure it was funny.

[E]

All right, this is. This is the closest you've ever gotten me.

[B]

This is big.

[D]

This is big.

[B]

Get a picture. Get a picture of this. Get a picture of this.

[D]

All right, all right. Johnny can't get this picture.

[B]

All right.

[D]

Three, two.

[B]

This is big. This is big. We've got the big pick. We've got a deal in mustache contest. We've got the must. Yeah, this is a big episode. We've got the mustache competition. We've got the big foosball table, which I really got to get Braden hyped up for because we want to win this one.

[D]

Yeah, he better lose. He gonna be sad.

[B]

This is big. Yeah, this is really big. Are you excited or you nervous? Nervous, Eric?

[E]

I'm not nervous at all.

[B]

Oh, you're Pretty confident.

[E]

No, I'm more thinking about the topic.

[B]

Okay. He's already moved on. He's gonna win. And what's the history pod gonna be about?

[E]

Obviously love to lean towards some Napoleonic history.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

But, you know, listen to stuff about the Incas recently. I mean, I feel like that would be really interesting.

[B]

Inca. Inca. Bottle of Inca. Am I right?

[E]

You're gonna have to do better.

[B]

All right. Yeah.

[D]

Somebody get me out of here.

[B]

I'll write better jokes. Oh, God.

[D]

Is there a roof I can jump off around here?

[B]

Oh, we should have somehow put in a roof. Beer bat. It, like, tied into this. We really.

[E]

I'm thinking more like rooftop pod.

[B]

A rooftop pod.

[E]

We haven't recorded any pods on the roof.

[B]

We've never.

[D]

What's that all about? How come?

[B]

Oh, that needs to happen. That needs to happen.

[D]

It doesn't happen.

[B]

This. That could be big. Wow. All right, we'll set it up. We'll set it up. A future episode. We'll be on the. We'll be on the roof. Okay. The roof.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

The roof's on fire. Not literally. No. Don't run. Yeah. Legal scared for a second. Yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. All right. Well, that was fun. I think this is gonna be a big game.

[D]

That's good stuff.

[B]

I can't wait to actually play this game. We'll play this a little bit.

[D]

You're gonna regret that, but that's fine.

[B]

To be fair, solicitors. No, we did do this exact matchup earlier. What was it, 10? Eight. You guys won. Yeah.

[D]

So smoked you guys.

[E]

So I guess I don't remember how much you guys scored. I remember us scoring 10, though.

[B]

Yeah, we scored eight because it was close. It was tied. Eight, eight at the end. And then you guys scored two at the end of win, so. So this is a close matchup is what I'll call it. And you guys are pretty confident that this is gonna go 100 your way, so. No, I'm actually pretty excited about it.

[F]

So.

[E]

I know we got the Oscars coming up this week.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

When Grant's on the pod.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

Are you gonna hold him accountable

[B]

for being incorrect or.

[E]

Well, for his son waking me up?

[B]

Oh, yeah. Have you heard this? Kyle the frickin. So Friday night. So as we're heading to Kyle, we stay at Grant's. He's the movie guy. We stop at his place. Eric's sleeping downstairs. I'm up in the main level living room, and 7:00am 7:00am I'm asleep.

[E]

You know, we were probably up till about 1am that morning. 7am all of a sudden all the lights in the basement turn on all at once and I hear the heaviest footsteps running down the steps. And I'm like coming to and I like glance up and I see just this streak just like going around the corner from the stairs, around the corner of the couch and they kind of have the screened off area. And all of a sudden I hear some typing on like a keyboard. So I'm like, kind of like looking for my phone. Where, where do I have the charger? Like, where's this stuff at? And all of a sudden I hear Grant's son with the good morning stream. This morning we're gonna be playing some Minecraft.

[B]

What up, Chad?

[D]

Hardcore.

[E]

And I'm just like, it's 7am on a Saturday. Like I appreciate the grind. I guess I don't. I, until, until I heard him on there, I, I had no idea the kind of pressure, you know, Jeremy, that you're under to deliver content, produce content.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Because I mean, you got to go where your audience is at. And apparently at 7am on a Saturday. Yeah, there's that group that wants

[B]

Minecraft. Well, this kid grinds. This guy does, he's, he's, he's been on the pod before and he grinds. 7:00am Honestly is when he has time to stream, to play the games, to get it out to his audience because he's doing plays. He, I mean, he, he grinds.

[E]

I'm starting to, I, I mean, and again, this is probably me drawing way too many conclusions, but I'm starting to see why his first marriage might have failed.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, I, I, I mean

[E]

I, I might be way out of line on that. I might be way out of line on that.

[B]

But business first.

[E]

I, I could see, I could see how there might have been a, you know, priorities were not lined up.

[D]

He does miss his ex wife.

[B]

He does. Yep. He said he's on to his second ex wife now. Oh, golly.

[E]

So the, the camera kind of focused into the middle of the room and there was this kind of barrier in front of the couch. But I did have to run into the like, well, I don't want to be down here.

[B]

You were naked.

[E]

I wasn't naked.

[D]

You were naked on the stream.

[B]

He was naked on the stream.

[E]

A pair of gym shorts on.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

Nothing I would be ashamed to go out in public in, but I, I did. I collected my suitcase and my phone and my watch and my chargers and all that stuff. And then I'm just like, I guess I just gotta make a break for it and just hope that none of his viewers at 708 are like, who's that 40 year old man limping with his. With his bag and stuff?

[B]

Hey, think about this. What if they're used to it? What if they're used to seeing the 40 year old man limp out of the back of the back of the stream? I don't know. We don't know. We don't know.

[D]

Grant, what is happening?

[B]

I'm not making any accusations. I'm just saying we don't know. So, yeah, that was big. And then you chose to go and sit on the couch and wake me up.

[E]

I mean, I tried to.

[B]

I was a hard sleeper.

[E]

It was. It was the fourth fart that finally got you.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Finally got you moving.

[B]

Yep. I have been able to breathe right ever since. All week. The lungs are all jacked up.

[D]

Sounds about right. I don't doubt this.

[B]

It's a real thing.

[D]

Golly.

[B]

So yeah. That's life, dude. That's life. When we get up to Iowa.

[D]

Ever since Eric's come back from Iowa, he's been dressing like a lumberjack. So that's weird. He really has because we don't. Not chopping down too many trees in Iowa, so I don't understand the connection. But look at you go. It's fine.

[B]

You ever use the ax?

[F]

No.

[B]

Huh.

[D]

So you're a poser.

[B]

Interesting. You think a lumberjack would know how to use an ax.

[F]

Exactly.

[E]

Can't believe you call me a poser when we got the same haircut.

[D]

Oh, we do got the same haircut.

[B]

It's wild. All right, here's the thing. Maybe he thought you guys had the same hair because you two generally always have a hat on.

[D]

I think we have the same hair.

[B]

No, not even close.

[D]

Look, look at his.

[B]

Not even remotely close.

[D]

Look at mine.

[B]

He's. He looks like he's got a. Decently. When's the last time he got a haircut?

[E]

Two weeks.

[B]

Yeah. And you? It's been a bit.

[D]

Been a minute.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't like haircuts. Tell you that much.

[B]

You married a lady who does air

[D]

and she's great and she cuts my hair great. But I don't like getting haircuts.

[B]

Does she cut your hair?

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. I didn't know if at this point you, you just. She's just like, I ain't cutting your hair anymore.

[D]

No. Usually it's like, oh, no, I got something coming up. Can you cut my hair? And it's like 11 o' clock at night.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

She's like okay. And then she cuts it very well.

[B]

That's legit.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. I'm gonna tell you, man, it's probably

[B]

been like a month since I've gotten a haircut, and it looks like.

[D]

Yeah, it's bad.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You're a bit of a hippie right now.

[B]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. Yeah. Even beginning to suggest that I have a good situation going on. It's bad.

[D]

It's kind of wild.

[E]

Are you already making excuses for your before picture tomorrow morning?

[D]

But.

[B]

No, not at all. I. I will boldly go where I need to go. This shave is going to be interesting because I haven't been clean baby face in a minute, so I always.

[E]

I always do it at least once a year, I feel like. And people are like, why'd you shave? And I'm just like, well, I just had to make sure there was still a face underneath. Underneath the hair.

[B]

It just. It's very deep.

[D]

That is deep.

[B]

No, I. My therapist said I should check in on my. On me.

[E]

No, that would be a better one.

[B]

The. No. I am concerned about the clean shave because I'm at the second highest weight I've ever been in my life. So I'm gonna shave it, and you're gonna. You're. It's gonna be Fat Face. It's not gonna be AI J. I J O. It's gonna be Fat Face. Jail is what it's gonna be.

[D]

No, that's not true.

[B]

Right now you're looking at me and you go, you look doing different. Wait till I shave it.

[E]

I don't know. I'm kind of looking at you. You do look a little fatter.

[B]

Yeah. See, I told you.

[D]

It's the AI I told him.

[B]

It's wild. Those fix. They make me fatter every time.

[D]

Dude, I'm with you.

[B]

This. This. If there's an argument getting old, though, there's an argument not to use AI it's that.

[D]

Yeah, that AI Will get you every time.

[B]

Okay, So I think. I think we're gonna do this foosball game.

[D]

I think it's time. I think it's probably time to just put up or shut up.

[B]

I think so.

[D]

Team Extreme.

[B]

Okay. All right, I'm down. You guys ready to do this game?

[D]

Let's do this. Oh, okay.

[B]

All right. We're gonna do this foosball game.

[D]

Let's get rolling. Hey, did you hear that? That new reality show. Oh, that Jenna. She's a wild one, isn't she? Yeah, kind of crazy.

[B]

We're back, and we Just finished the big foosball game. And, Eric, you're watching Friday Night Light

[E]

only because you're a stank ass.

[B]

Yeah, I did pull out some nuclear warfare with the score like 66, but in the end, Braden and I put together three straight goals to win 10 to nine. And holy cow, that was eight. An epic matchup. There was some volleys there, like, mid game, where it just kept going back forth, back forth, back forth, back forth without a goal. That was, like, started to make me nervous, I think. Do you get nervous when it just extends like that?

[D]

I never get nervous.

[B]

Okay. Do you?

[E]

I didn't know the. The big moment for me was we were up 9 to 8, and it came to my side, and I. I had three shots, and I felt really good about all three of them. So to have none of those three land seems. Seems like a fluke. It seems like maybe you were farting so much on your side of the table that it was pushing the changing. It was changing the velocity of the shots I was taking.

[B]

Does a fart like a fart, obviously. Does it actually change the wind like you're suggesting? But does a fart change kind of the mental capacity you have available to put on a performance?

[E]

Yeah, well, you know, you're just weighing between fun and disgust.

[D]

Fair,

[B]

so. What are you talking about, fun and disgust?

[E]

You disgust me and your swamp ass farting in the middle of the game.

[D]

It was pretty bad. It was very bad.

[B]

Well, we all know I have a disease, so I'm gonna throw that out there.

[D]

There's no excuse for what happened out there.

[E]

Yeah, there's no room for that on the field of professional foosball.

[B]

My. My teammate Braden, to his credit, powered through.

[E]

He. Well, he's, as you pointed out during the match, he's. He's a little immune.

[B]

I mean, there's the truth to that. Did call that out.

[E]

I don't have any children that I'm aware of, but have you noticed? I mean, are you immune to their farts? Are they immune to yours?

[B]

No, mine are not immune to my farts, but they're. I would assume at one point they become used to them. I. I don't know at what point, but he was able to power through and put together quite the performance there and pull out the victory. You.

[E]

So I will say that, you know, you, Kyle, and Braden all pulled out the shirt. Tent all. All had the shirt up. And I don't know that I've seen that move since high school,

[D]

but I

[E]

also don't know of any other Circumstance in the last 25 years where I've had to sit in that close of proximity, all.

[B]

That can't be true.

[D]

We ain't trying to breathe that in.

[B]

That can't be possibly true. All the car trips, all the. You've never.

[E]

I've never wanted to tempt my. My nose.

[B]

I mean, really, it's. Because usually you're the one ripping them and you're enjoying the. The.

[E]

And, Yeah. I have to admit, I mean, I haven't been around the president for long, like, so that might help me.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Big pants.

[B]

This is a real thing. How many pairs of pants you think he carries with him? Zero.

[E]

I mean, he's got staff for that, but could you imagine that was your job.

[B]

Carry the president's pants because he's them.

[E]

Oh, got another mess.

[B]

That is funny. I'm sure there's, like, a presidential wardrobe that comes with him anyways, and then he just takes advantage of that.

[D]

Get a whole wardrobe.

[B]

Oh, I would imagine. Don't you think? Did you know he's buying, like, people's shoes now? Like, he buys them and he guesses their sizes.

[E]

And I saw the. The Rubio shoes.

[B]

Yeah. And like, they're. They're too big for him.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

But he just guesses their sizes, and it's like a.

[E]

It's like a real life Kyler Murray joke.

[B]

It really is

[E]

too small for the shoes.

[B]

Huh? I like it. It's awesome. All right, so how long do you think it'll take you to watch Friday Night Lights? You think, you know, you could get this taken care of in a week? We're talking 22 episodes if you really committed to it.

[E]

That's a lot of episodes. That's a lot of episodes.

[D]

It is.

[B]

But if you committed to it, I think it could be done. What do you think? Give me a time frame. Give me a time frame.

[E]

Not a week.

[D]

Two episodes a day is 11 days.

[B]

Two weeks. Could you do two weeks?

[E]

How can I do two episodes a

[D]

day on your TV?

[E]

I got a regular life to live too.

[B]

No, I'm gonna need you to. Is this.

[E]

Wait, is this a show that I could just have on in the background?

[B]

No, no, We're. We're gonna. We're gonna record a whole ass episode. We're gonna talk about it. So I need. I need answers.

[E]

What if I just read the Cliff Notes?

[B]

Nope. Because if you don't have answers, you're gonna go back. You're gonna go back and watch it.

[E]

Clear eyes, full farts, big farts.

[B]

Can't lose. And That's. We proved that here tonight. You guys. That was an epic matchup.

[E]

Won the first matchup tonight.

[B]

You did. And then we.

[E]

And we won the Batman. You in the rubber match.

[B]

Then you did win the third one because you guys won. And that made sense. All right, we tied one one. We'll go back. And you guys did. Every single one. Came down to the very end. What was every single? Like, the first one was 10, 10, 9.

[E]

Two of them were expected.

[B]

Are you saying our win in the middle is a fluke?

[E]

Yes, because of the fart

[B]

chemical. So the fart's getting full credit for victory.

[F]

Yes.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

There's no doubt.

[B]

All right, well, I disagree. But in the end, you're the one that has to do this. Friday night Live. It's Watch. So I'm gonna go ahead and take the victory with my fart, so. Yeah, this is exciting. This is damn exciting.

[D]

Two weeks.

[E]

Two weeks could take a lot longer than that.

[B]

Two weeks. Are you kidding me? You're gonna be so hooked. You're gonna want to finish the season to get ready for the second season.

[E]

I promise that if I'm hooked, I won't hide it.

[B]

Okay, good, good. We're gonna need that. Oh, also, it'd be helpful if you gave us voice memos. So send us voice memos so we will document throughout.

[E]

Dude, I don't report. I don't work for you.

[B]

You lost that.

[D]

You lost the bet.

[B]

You lost the bet. You lost the bat. This is how it works. So we're. We're gonna need. We're gonna need this again. I did not. But if I do.

[D]

Did he just float in here from earlier?

[B]

That probably.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[B]

That probably's true. And you're sleeping in here. Oh, God. Yep. Okay, so really, at the end of the day, who. Who. Who's the big loser here? Me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's you.

[E]

It definitely is Kyle, because I did not realize he was sleeping in here. I've been trying to do revenge farts.

[B]

Oh, no.

[E]

This entire time?

[B]

Yup. Kyle's in the Laugh with me. Sweet. No good. It's all farts in here.

[E]

You're gonna have the mic's on overnight.

[B]

Yeah, you just. So we know.

[D]

Just here. Oh, God, it's still here.
