Episode Overview

This episode captures the absolute essence of the classic “guys beach trip”—messy arguments, passionate musical hot takes, and the kind of inside-joke-filled camaraderie that defines the Matt and Shane universe. Recorded on location, the group recounts and laughs through several legendary debates (Metallica vs. U2! November Rain vs. Enter Sandman! Is adding water to sand effective?) and generally paints a portrait of the grandeur and absurdity of spending a week at the beach with your best friends. Expect classic bits, relentless ribbing, and a whole lot of “who’s more Metallica, who's more U2?" banter.

Main Discussion Points

1. Beach Trip Musical Arguments [00:02–45:21]

• Origins: The guys recap a night-long, drunken argument that started with quibbling over downloaded U2 albums (remember the iPod invasion), then quickly ballooned into Metallica vs. U2, November Rain vs. Enter Sandman, and whether Prince is overrated.
• Who’s better—Metallica or U2?
  • Chris takes a bold, often indefensible stance defending U2’s "musicianship" over Metallica’s and admits to dying on that hill even as he realizes mid-argument that he's likely wrong. ("I went to bed. Like, man, I said, I'll let the little boys handle this." – Matt, [04:08])
  • Back-and-forth about appealing to “authority” (charts, sales, crowd reactions) versus just “which band rocks harder.”
  • Classic quotes:
    • “You two over Metallica. The most insane look I'll take.” – Matt, [03:47]
    • “You said edge is better than Kirk Hammett. And I was like, dude, that's just not true.” – Shane, [08:11]
• November Rain vs. Enter Sandman: which is the ultimate song?
  • Chris and Billy initially lean November Rain. Matt and Shane defender Enter Sandman as the crowd-mover.
  • “If anybody's saying November Rain over Enter Sandman is a fool in public.” – Matt, [04:20]
  • Crowd reaction is debated: Enter Sandman as the Virginia Tech football anthem vs. the versatility of November Rain for different moods.

2. The Hierarchy of Artists Debate [10:27–15:20]

• Prince Hot Takes: The group debates where Prince should rank among the greatest musicians.
  • Billy claims, “I said there was 2,000 artists that I believe are better than Prince.” – [10:33]
  • Matt: “You're wrong because Prince is better than Matchbox [20]…by every single possible metric.” – [11:42]
• Trolling with Rankings: The debate devolves into claims like “Creed or 311 is better than Prince,” and whether “Matchbox 20 vs. Prince” is a serious question. Satirical, but not entirely unserious.

3. The Sand & Umbrella Argument (A Beachtrip Classic) [18:28–25:45]

• Can you stabilize a beach umbrella by wetting the sand?
  • Chris recounts making “7 to 10 trips” with a water bottle to pour on dry sand, hoping it’d help. Matt and Shane lovingly roast the futility of this, while Billy claims the umbrella “stayed up” after, at least once.
  • “It was a long beach. The beach was almost like Normandy.” – Matt, [25:21]
  • This becomes the archetypal “guys won’t let go of a dumb debate” bit that replays over and over.
• Philosophy: “The greatest debate. The country needs another debate.” – Matt, [26:13]

4. Beach Trip Highlights [26:22–29:40]

• Favorite Moments: Catching with friends, watching pelicans fly (“Nate thought it was a duck.” – Shane, [27:04]), and one friend accidentally peeing in the ocean in front of a family during a photo.
• Truman Show Revelation: Discovering they're staying where The Truman Show was filmed.

5. Revisiting and Re-Litigating Metallica vs. U2 [29:40–44:54]

• Chris continues to wrestle with defending U2, even as everyone pokes fun, and tries to assign “Metallica” or “U2” energy to themselves and each other.
• Notable exchange:
  • “If you listen to Metallica, you'll never run, dude” – Matt, [32:26]
  • “If I listen to U2, I'm sprinting.” – Matt, [32:31]
  • “I just don't think…but that video [Enter Sandman in Moscow] is sick.” – Chris, [32:58]
  • “Nobody, nobody, if you're chilling and popping Metallica, you weirdo.” – Matt, [33:11]

6. “Who’s Metallica, Who’s U2?” – The Personality Debate [70:12–80:20]

• The group breaks down each other’s personalities in terms of “Metallica” vs. “U2” as a form of temperament.
  • Admitting to “wishing they were more Metallica but being U2 at heart.”
  • “I am U2. You are Metallica. We both wish [we were the opposite].” – Matt, [71:25]
• “Trying to keep a lid on it is Metallica.” – Matt, [72:13]
• “You can't listen to Metallica because you will hulk out.” – Shane, [70:44]
• “Falling on a U2 sword is the most noble thing you've ever done.” – Chris, [75:53]

7. More Wild Debates: Religion, Energy, The Crusades [64:45–66:56]

• Whether Jesus and the Crusades are more “Metallica” or “U2” energy.
  • “Jesus is like Metallica.” – Shane, [65:08]
  • “You too is more likely Jesus lovers than Metallica as band.” – Billy, [65:11]
  • Must-hear bit on Catholicism, rock music, and heavy metal as “devil music.”

8. Book Talk, Testosterone & Estrogen, and Being a Man [51:55–54:58]

• Musings on reading habits, double-timing audiobooks and physical books, testosterone/estrogen, and what defines “high T” and “low T” music.
  • “It's the essence of a man.” – Chris on testosterone, [52:45]
  • “Metallica: high T music. U2: low T music.” – Matt, [54:05]

9. Closing Musings: Group Dynamics, Guy Talk, and Legacy [79:02–end]

• Realization: “We should just say we're all Metallica.” – Chris, [79:27]
• More reflections on which friend is really “harboring evil under the surface,” “a fake tough guy,” or “a sweet guy with a hard shell.”
• Classic bits about peeing on the beach, losing sunglasses, and who's most likely to smash a dishwasher.
• Final takeaways: “These are conversations we contractually have to have.” – Chris, [59:42]

Transcript

[Matt]

Okay. The U2 album, it was on the ipod. It was on everybody's phone. Phil was convinced that I downloaded that onto his car because anytime he started, his car played. And the album art was like a guy sucking another guy's dick. I don't know if you remember that. No, the album. Out of the album that they put

[Shane]

on that YouTube, there's a guy kissing a guy's.

[Chris]

Was it really?

[Shane]

Yes, of course.

[Matt]

Dude, that's you, too.

[Chris]

I didn't know that.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Huge information.

[Matt]

Yeah. The YouTube movement.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Phil thought it was me. Now, some guys, I'm not saying. Who, think Metallica is not as good as YouTube.

[Chris]

Well, the original argument was November rain versus enter salmon. November Rain, I would say, but we were talking about.

[Billy]

Well, the original argument was about Prince. And then we all agreed, so we had to find musician.

[Chris]

He's not that good.

[Shane]

I'm like, bro, bro, I didn't say that. You did.

[Chris]

He's not even that good. This. He's not.

[Shane]

He's not. Like, everyone, like, jerks him off like he's some crazy guitarist. He's like just like every other shredder in the 80s.

[Matt]

You said he wasn't top 20.

[Shane]

He's not top 20.

[Matt]

Yes. That was the beginning.

[Shane]

That was my argument.

[Chris]

Argument.

[Shane]

That's literally fair.

[Chris]

Genesis, that's. We already. We settled the Prince.

[Shane]

Prince, not top 20 is a pretty fair argument in terms of.

[Chris]

I don't think you had. You didn't have an argument there. We entered into the argument of, like, if. If stuff's better musically as, like, a musician. And then we got into somehow Enter Sandman verse. Guns N Roses.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Shane]

That had nothing to do with that conversation.

[Billy]

It did.

[Chris]

It sprung from it. What are you talking about?

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

You said, Enter Salmon isn't as good as November Rain. I said, dude, Enter Sandman rules.

[Matt]

You definitely entered November Rain into the argument. Yeah, because nobody would pick that.

[Chris]

We're talking about Inner Sandman.

[Shane]

And I was like, we didn't go from Prince to gnr. It was just a new thing.

[Chris]

No, it was all the same. It. Dude. It was a music musical debate.

[Shane]

The debate was Enter Sandman versus What's it called again?

[Chris]

November Rain.

[Shane]

Yeah, exactly.

[Guest]

And.

[Chris]

Oh, the appeal to authority.

[Shane]

There it is.

[Chris]

They're to authority and Achilles heel argument. No, they could never see Aguilera better than Santana. Tell for the people.

[Shane]

You already. You're already moving the goal post all around. It's crazy. It's almost like a girl tactic. I don't.

[Matt]

I don't see girl tactics.

[Shane]

Enter Sandman.

[Matt]

A good move in the debate or girl tactics. A great movie.

[Chris]

November.

[Shane]

November Rain.

[Producer]

Yeah.

[Chris]

November rain's better. A better song.

[Shane]

Enter Salmon is I November reason.

[Billy]

I will say that last night I came in on the November rain camp.

[Matt]

Chris, you were. But you were out of your.

[Shane]

Pound for pound.

[Chris]

You were out.

[Shane]

And our Sandman's better. We listened to literally, like, Was pretty good.

[Chris]

Nate.

[Matt]

November heard it for the first time. Oh, this song's awesome.

[Shane]

Hold on, Nate, you heard?

[Matt]

It's awesome.

[Shane]

You heard that for the first time last night?

[Matt]

Yes.

[Shane]

And then what happened when we play Enter Sandman? You heard it already, right? Enter Sandman. Yeah. You heard it a million times already. I wonder why.

[Chris]

Yeah. That dude that you're. I look, I love you. I don't want you to go back into those. It really is the pumpkin waters.

[Matt]

We've already covered this.

[Chris]

True. Yo, he feels he was blown away. Sandman Nate was blown away by November Anderson.

[Shane]

Man. Nate butt.

[Matt]

It thinks Lupe is better than Kanye.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Yeah, you do. You. You did until I took you to that concert. Yes or no? Yes or no? I'm just reporting. Yes or no? Yes or now. I love them both. Guard dog. Guard dog. Guard dog. He loves Lupe.

[Shane]

Backpack wrap.

[Matt]

I love Lupe. I love Lupe.

[Guest]

He's.

[Matt]

He's one of my goats. But Kanye is the best. I was about to make everybody, man, say Kanye's better than Beatles.

[Shane]

Nice mic drop.

[Chris]

Sick mic drop.

[Matt]

Kanye better than Beatles. You got a better argument than you two over Metallica.

[Shane]

Yeah, that's the second argument.

[Matt]

You two over Metallica.

[Shane]

You two over Metallica.

[Matt]

The most insane look I'll take.

[Shane]

That's literally, like, the most.

[Chris]

I was riding high from November Rain. I don't like Metallica.

[Shane]

I don't either.

[Chris]

And then not that much.

[Shane]

Like, I don't ride.

[Chris]

Okay, who's a girl now? Screaming about who's a girl now?

[Matt]

I'm saying, who's a girl now?

[Shane]

Dude, I had screaming and crying last night.

[Chris]

Picked a horse.

[Matt]

You screamed and cried last night.

[Chris]

I back.

[Matt]

I went to bed. Like, man, I said, I'll let the little boys handle this.

[Chris]

I backed a bad horse. I. I was like, dude, you two is probably better than Talca. We went track by track. Did I back a bad horse?

[Matt]

Judas Dud. I literally saved you on the beach. I literally pulled you off. By the way, if you think we have teams, if you don't think I'm just sitting back and enjoying this, I mean, I understand the truth. Is anybody saying November rain over Answer Sandman is a fool in public. Boys

[Billy]

like the Edges.

[Chris]

So often times the fools dressed in a crowd.

[Matt]

A lot of times fools are

[Shane]

pushed

[Matt]

onto the ground and everyone goes, shut up, fool.

[Shane]

Yeah, my argument.

[Matt]

Remember when Mariano Rivera ran out to November Rain? No, no, no, no, no.

[Shane]

That's right.

[Matt]

Remember when guys, I can't believe November. Remember, yo, when Virginia Tech, when they run out of tunnel? You know how the entire hundred thousand stadium jumps up?

[Chris]

You know something I like?

[Matt]

I. I swear to God, it doesn't come close.

[Billy]

It comes pretty close after a goal,

[Chris]

and that's a cool application for a song. The Crowd up is great, but as a great song because you can. You can puzzle the crowd.

[Matt]

It's almost like you can listen to

[Chris]

it in your car while you're driving. You can do all kinds of stuff. That's one specific thing for a song to be used for. November Rain. So many different kind.

[Matt]

How come the musicians agreed?

[Chris]

They were led, by the way.

[Matt]

There was a lot of the musicians that we will not name. Two out of one.

[Chris]

Two for one, two for one. Nate, first time listener. November Rain blew him away.

[Shane]

He didn't choose.

[Chris]

Yes, he did.

[Shane]

I mean, if we put on Inner Sandman for the first time ever he heard a million times already, it would have blown his mind.

[Chris]

I don't think it did.

[Matt]

He would have been literally one of the Russians taking his uniform off and

[Chris]

being on someone's shoulders going, guys, people like different stuff. Nate doesn't like.

[Matt]

People like different stuff. Different stuff is the end of the argument.

[Shane]

Yeah, that's where it went.

[Matt]

Then we can agree that was a college.

[Shane]

Then you said, this is a better guitarist.

[Chris]

Immediately took that.

[Shane]

Disgusting.

[Chris]

That was a hail Mary.

[Matt]

I was.

[Chris]

I was really sweat.

[Shane]

And you guys. You didn't take it back. You guys. What about Britney Spears and Carlos Santana?

[Guest]

What the.

[Chris]

You guys.

[Matt]

Hold on.

[Chris]

I. I said the Edge one. I did a compilation and a mid thing went, this sucks. Took it back immediately. You went, they're better because more people listen to it. I said, whoa, Bill. I said, now I got them where I want them. I said, bill, that's appeal.

[Matt]

That's how you're losing this argument. I can't believe you're losing this argument.

[Chris]

He was. That was.

[Matt]

You're losing a YouTube vers. Metallica argument.

[Chris]

By his own logic, you two is technically better because they have more records or whatever.

[Shane]

They have more records.

[Matt]

It's literally hard to lose this hard. You two is.

[Chris]

He was on the break and he wouldn't admit. I admit it when I'm wrong. I go.

[Matt]

Some may argue, why climb the highest mountain. Why does you two beat Metallica? Not because it is easy. I argue that you two.

[Chris]

God, I could have went with Sabbath. I could have went with Sabbath.

[Matt]

Sabbath. Matt, you wouldn't have an argument with Sabbath.

[Chris]

What do you mean?

[Matt]

We would agree with you.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, true.

[Matt]

We're not. We're not guys that go.

[Chris]

I was saying a bad.

[Matt]

Remember Coldplay? They're better than Mentality.

[Chris]

You said coldplay rocks. Coldplay does rock.

[Matt]

Coldplay does rock.

[Chris]

They rock.

[Matt]

But YouTube, come on, entertainment.

[Chris]

I said, if we were going things, if we were going by. They're more popular and they sell more.

[Shane]

We were just going by what's best.

[Matt]

That's not the only. Because that was not the argument.

[Chris]

His argument was that. And then.

[Matt]

Hold on.

[Chris]

Take it back.

[Shane]

Quiet for a second.

[Chris]

You said, don't worry about. The sound is better than Carlos Santana. Britney Spears better than Carlos. You said that last night, brother.

[Matt]

Like a woman.

[Shane]

I was like. Like a woman.

[Matt]

You look at me, you're a liar.

[Shane]

Like a woman.

[Matt]

You get rid of these beggars.

[Shane]

Like, you were like, edge is better than Kirk Hammett. And I was like, dude, that's just not true. I put you in the dirt on that. And then you were like, what about.

[Billy]

I laughed.

[Shane]

Your eyes started darting around.

[Chris]

Not true. I looked at it. I went, this guy sucks. This guy sucks. And then I said the whole thing. My whole argument was like, you were basing on appeal to authority. And I said, bill authority.

[Shane]

You were saying, you too. They're the most appeal authority band in the world.

[Matt]

They're on everybody. They're on everybody.

[Shane]

They're making red iPhones.

[Chris]

The whole way I was saying is, musically, I was like, they're better musicians than Metallica.

[Shane]

They're not.

[Chris]

And I died on that hill because

[Shane]

I Bono against Hetfield. You think Bono's a better singer than Headfield, bro?

[Chris]

Well, it depends on who has more range. Yeah. Now you get.

[Matt]

I'm getting field.

[Chris]

I guess.

[Matt]

You know this master.

[Chris]

Master. He. Every dude, every one of his songs sounds exactly.

[Shane]

And Bono weirdly whispers into the mic,

[Chris]

Bono has more of a vocal range.

[Shane]

He doesn't.

[Chris]

He does.

[Shane]

Literally does.

[Chris]

He does.

[Shane]

And then he said, edge over.

[Chris]

And I immediately laugh and come back as soon as I saw the compilation, you said, yeah, Nsick and Britney Spears are better than Carlos Santana. You gotta live with that.

[Shane]

You were trying to get.

[Matt]

Well, yes.

[Chris]

By those metrics.

[Matt]

I believe I gotta walk that back.

[Chris]

You gotta take.

[Matt]

Also.

[Shane]

Okay, I'm taking My l. So you

[Chris]

have to take that out.

[Shane]

I'll answer.

[Chris]

You flopped on that. You almost lost the worst debate of all.

[Shane]

The reason. The reason it got to there because I said, dude, they're just better. It's not even competition. And you guys are like, but why?

[Matt]

But why? I was like, they're.

[Chris]

You said they're better than Carlos Santana. I was getting double revoked. No, you can't revoke.

[Matt]

Also in the middle of the double teaming, you were taking the Okame was a wild card too.

[Shane]

Okay?

[Matt]

You just hop in and scream. You had your own argument. You were arguing. Just so you know, you were arguing alone against no one.

[Billy]

No, I wasn't part of this conversation.

[Matt]

You were sitting at the bar. You were sitting at the bar. You would look over with your white eyes and your red face, okay. And you would go, yeah, we go. Holy. I forgot Chris was here.

[Billy]

It was a different conversation.

[Matt]

I know. You were having your own. It's a different conversation.

[Shane]

I supported.

[Matt]

You were having your own battle.

[Billy]

This is a misrepresentation.

[Matt]

And you always do this. Anytime I talk about Prince, you hijack it and you take it too far. I didn't take it too far. Anytime.

[Billy]

I said there was 2,000 artists that

[Matt]

I believe are better than Prince. Taking it too far.

[Billy]

Yeah, that's great.

[Matt]

That's false.

[Billy]

And I began today. Through the top thousand from 2001 was

[Matt]

Prince is not top ten. And then my only ally in the argument is always you. And you jump in and you say, he's not top 2000. Then I gotta go. Now I gotta ride with this guy. He's like, creed better than Prince. And I gotta go, am I wrong? Creed bangs 311 better than Prince. And I gotta go. And I gotta go.

[Billy]

You've had the fight too many times.

[Matt]

I know the battle. I've listened to every single song.

[Billy]

It's. It's.

[Matt]

I've had this battle that many times.

[Billy]

I know, but that's what makes you gun shy. You know what I mean? That's why you'll say he's outside the top 10. And I'm telling you, outside the top

[Matt]

10, there are big.

[Billy]

It's worse than that.

[Matt]

You think he's not top 2000?

[Billy]

I don't think so.

[Matt]

Matchbox 20 year prince. Okay. It's easy.

[Billy]

Matchbox.

[Matt]

Where we're wrong. You're wrong about how? Because Prince is better than Matchbox Horny.

[Billy]

By what metric?

[Matt]

Every single possible metric. No, there's not one metric.

[Billy]

Hit songs.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Billy]

You think Prince has.

[Matt]

Yes. We could look at Billboard's top hit songs.

[Billy]

Now we're back to the popularity thing.

[Matt]

Well, you just said hit songs.

[Shane]

See what happens, they start dancing around.

[Matt]

Okay, hold on. Time out for one second. Call Timeout.

[Billy]

Hits.

[Matt]

You literally just said hit songs.

[Billy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matt]

And then I said, no, but hit songs, this. And you said, now you're bringing up.

[Shane]

I like this.

[Billy]

No, no, no. That's not what I said.

[Matt]

Okay, let's do it again.

[Billy]

I was saying hit songs. I'm talking about.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Billy]

Songs that they've made that you, like, genuinely love listening to.

[Matt]

That's the definition of a hit song.

[Billy]

Yeah. Like Matchbox 20, I think, has, like, hit songs that you would, like, play and.

[Matt]

A hit song.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

So a popular song. That's what a hit song is.

[Billy]

I guess. I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it in the. In the. Like, a building.

[Matt]

Like a Billboard top, maybe Bangers. No, but it. Hit song. Yeah, we're gonna strike. That's fine. We play for a couple seconds. Yeah, yeah, but I love that. I love that argument. Name a hit song. You mean like a Billboard top one? No, you're bringing up hit songs.

[Billy]

No, no, I mean, like.

[Guest]

Yes.

[Chris]

You mean Bangers.

[Guest]

By bangers.

[Chris]

So it's push you around. I wanna push you. What other. Oh,

[Guest]

yeah.

[Matt]

Santana and Matchbox 28.

[Chris]

That lab was no.

[Billy]

Nasty.

[Shane]

Rob Johnson. Or is it Rob Johnson? Rob Thomas.

[Matt]

Rob Thomas.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Chris]

I met him one time backstage. I snuck backstage, actually.

[Shane]

I'm a big Game of Love fan, too.

[Matt]

I always thought Rob Thomas looked like the guy who cuts the guy's dick off in Game of Thrones.

[Chris]

He does look exactly.

[Matt]

Does he look exactly like him? I can't.

[Chris]

Yo.

[Matt]

You know, he's Spud.

[Billy]

Spud.

[Matt]

Rob Thomas and the guy who cuts the guy's dick off.

[Chris]

I feel he looks more like different

[Billy]

stages of their lives, you know?

[Chris]

That guy's had an incredibly brutal life. Rob Thomas had, like, the worst life ever. I've read his.

[Shane]

You can hear it in his music.

[Chris]

No, he got. He had, like, a really. He had a very up. Horrible.

[Matt]

More than I can hear.

[Chris]

Yeah, like a terrible, like, horrible home life. And then, like, he started a band that never worked out for a long time.

[Matt]

It's just like, hey, guys.

[Chris]

He had a tough time trying to.

[Billy]

No, I was listening to When It Comes. Sexual deviant.

[Guest]

He.

[Chris]

No, I never said that.

[Matt]

He said sexual deviant.

[Billy]

Sexual deviant.

[Chris]

No, he just had.

[Billy]

If you read his Wicked Home Life is Bad.

[Chris]

It's like an unbelievably. Horrible.

[Billy]

Tried to start a band and it didn't go so good.

[Chris]

I think he got like by a manager. It was. He just had like hardship after hard talk about Prince.

[Shane]

Not Rob Thomas.

[Chris]

Rob Thomas.

[Billy]

Yeah, yeah, he's talking about Rob Thomas.

[Shane]

Rob Thomas isn't sexual deviant.

[Billy]

I don't know

[Matt]

if he listens to this podcast. I never said Chris o' Connor called

[Billy]

you and I'm the only one defending him against Prince.

[Matt]

You're saying so what do you think he's gonna I bet you Rob Thomas be like, dude, Prince is better. I think he I didn't cut the guy's dick off in Game of Thrones. Prince is probably better.

[Chris]

It was good. I. I love a good sport though. That was good sport.

[Matt]

Nothing fires me up. People. People seem to get mad at me every time I I.

[Chris]

It's fun.

[Matt]

I delight in.

[Chris]

It's fun.

[Matt]

I delight it. I, I love it. I love seeing guys get going like that.

[Chris]

I entered the argument last night laughing. I was having a good time. And then I got sucked into it. Next thing I knew, I was having a good time.

[Shane]

It took me an hour and a half fully caffeinated.

[Chris]

You were caffeinated, though.

[Shane]

I know. And the conversation kept going.

[Chris]

Next thing I knew, I was just like, you too. I love you too. Yeah.

[Shane]

I was going to sleep like, how did that happen to me? I, I told myself it wouldn't work.

[Matt]

I got sucked in.

[Chris]

I know.

[Guest]

Huh.

[Chris]

Text the group chat.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Chris]

No more arguing.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Shane Stannis I love.

[Matt]

He's inevitable somebody's gonna. If, if you're on beach trip, there's gonna be a blowout argument.

[Shane]

Nah, that was nowhere near sand.

[Billy]

Sand.

[Matt]

That was nowhere near Sandman. Yes, that was. Understand the real Sandman.

[Shane]

O' Connor almost got physical on that one. Our argument did not.

[Matt]

Almost scared my dad. You die was scared when he got

[Shane]

bored him maybe, but no, I remember

[Matt]

him going, I filmed it. I have.

[Shane]

You're domineering over me.

[Billy]

No, as I was on the other side of the count.

[Shane]

Walked over. I remember everything from last year. And you know that.

[Matt]

I do remember. And you know that I remember domineer over him. You stood over me. You're like, I don't give a. I have a degree.

[Billy]

I said that from the other side of this counter.

[Matt]

No, no, you walked.

[Billy]

When I said, when I said that I don't care who your uncle is or whatever.

[Matt]

No, I, I, I remember there were two chairs kept going.

[Billy]

My uncle works for Halberton or.

[Shane]

No, my uncle doesn't work for Halberton.

[Billy]

Please.

[Shane]

I don't know. No, the owners Spade was talking about,

[Billy]

I think they were. Halberton came up.

[Shane]

Spade was talking about Halbert and how they get oil out of the ground. I will say those hunks nothing to

[Matt]

do with the sand. Those hunks that were this Halbert and they were bringing up the, the hunks

[Shane]

that were giving us our umbrellas.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

They're pouring a lot of water on that pole.

[Billy]

Well, they were digging deep down to. What do you think?

[Chris]

What was the argument with the sand?

[Shane]

Compacted sand?

[Billy]

Yeah. If you pour water on sand, does it get stronger?

[Shane]

Weaker?

[Matt]

Stronger, Weaker.

[Chris]

How so?

[Matt]

Oh, well, once it dries. Here's, here's a part of the argument. Here's the part of the argument you're missing.

[Shane]

They're wrong.

[Billy]

They're wrong.

[Matt]

Here's part of the argument that you're messing with with the sand argument. Chris was filling up a single bottle of water.

[Billy]

That's. Now, now it's not true.

[Shane]

I remember everything.

[Billy]

What.

[Chris]

How do you build a wet sandcastle?

[Shane]

What do you mean?

[Chris]

Like when you do a drippy castle, that's way different than just a pile of dry sand.

[Shane]

It's the same thing. There's just water in it.

[Chris]

So.

[Shane]

So it doesn't absorb.

[Chris]

It just whole water gets trapped between it pretty much.

[Shane]

I mean, it's. Sand's like one of the smallest.

[Chris]

It's like rock.

[Billy]

No one said it absorbed. Chris, does it hold together better?

[Chris]

Yeah, for sure.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Chris, can I ask.

[Billy]

Pretty simple. You pour. You pour water on sand. What happens to it?

[Chris]

It does go here.

[Billy]

Yeah, sure.

[Matt]

Chris, can I ask.

[Billy]

It's not rocket science. And I had to. I'd have this battle for five hours.

[Matt]

Chris, can I ask you something?

[Billy]

Halliburton comes up. Chris, 3:00am 3:00am is a great matchbox 20. So

[Matt]

hold on. Can I ask you something?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

You're telling me you were not filling up water in a water bottle?

[Billy]

It was a. It was a bigger water bottle.

[Matt]

It was bigger.

[Shane]

And then when this went down the pole, all the water expanded the hole and pushed the hole out more.

[Billy]

I compacted the sand with my foot and then I poured water on top of that and then I compacted it again.

[Chris]

Yeah. Water does something to sand for sure. Yeah.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Shane]

But it's not worth filling this up.

[Matt]

But at the, at the. Where we were on the beach, it

[Billy]

also kept the umbrella from tipping over. No one gives a about that results.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Matt]

It was pouring water onto the base.

[Billy]

No one gives a about the result.

[Chris]

To get the thing.

[Billy]

They just, they kept talking to me.

[Shane]

Thankless job.

[Billy]

You can't. You can't build a foundation on sand. All this stuff that I never was

[Chris]

even talking about, it was still open because it does. Water does something to sand.

[Matt]

I.

[Shane]

Not tonight.

[Matt]

Right in the middle.

[Billy]

Slightly wet sand is stronger, but if

[Matt]

you do it too much. Yeah, but this was zero wet sand. This is pouring a.

[Billy]

No, slightly bottle of water. Slightly wet. Not like soupy. Not soupy sand.

[Matt]

I know, but you were tying.

[Billy]

Make that sand soupy. Chris, you're saying I was.

[Shane]

I. I should put more water and

[Billy]

that would have been a soup.

[Matt]

More water would have helped.

[Billy]

Soup.

[Matt]

This was nothing. If you walk up to that beach

[Billy]

right now, you would have done the same thing. If I put a big bucket of water on it, you go, it's too Much water. It's soupy.

[Matt]

And Chris, I supported it. I actually stayed out of this argument. I was delighted to watch it happen because I remember when you were filling up one of these in the ocean. Now all of a sudden, the bottle got bigger. We got a case of big waters for the first time ever.

[Shane]

I remember everything from beach trip one. It was literally water bottle.

[Matt]

It was 100. Is it 20? Chris, 24. Chris, Chris, Chris.

[Billy]

And you guys are also changing.

[Guest]

You.

[Billy]

You were saying water does nothing.

[Matt]

I didn't say that.

[Shane]

It's not going to help.

[Matt]

I never said that.

[Shane]

Water goes back and forth.

[Matt]

I never said that.

[Chris]

Once every 30 minutes.

[Billy]

30 minutes. That's how long we were at the beach today. You think it took 30 minutes?

[Producer]

Water in back.

[Chris]

That's the real argument.

[Matt]

The situation is dry, dry, dry. We're at the top.

[Chris]

You got too much water.

[Billy]

You got too much water in the San.

[Matt]

We're at the top of the beach here.

[Chris]

Powdery dry.

[Matt]

Is completely powdery dry.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Chris is sticking one of these bottles, without a doubt, into the ocean. And I'm sitting next to Spud. We're down by the ocean, and Spud goes, that's not gonna do anything. And I was like, you should tell Chris, because I knew Littlefinger. Second, he tells Chris, we got a ball game now. Then once Chris. It's my favorite moment of beach trip. Chris with a bottle of water in the ocean that he's gonna walk back up to the umbrella to pour on the base of the umbrella. He goes, oh, yeah, okay. Why is that? As soon as I went, oh, we got it. We got one now. I. I gotta.

[Billy]

I'm glad that you said that, because it's not gonna do anything, is the argument.

[Shane]

It's so.

[Matt]

It's then the opening statement. I look at Spud, I say, I'm gonna leave. You guys are going to be arguing about something else in one hour. Came back. We're talking about Halliburton, building sand. Nothing like building on top of it.

[Billy]

I didn't bring up.

[Matt]

We're arguing about that. Where the water table is. We're arguing about everything. Now. The truth is, Chris, you are right in my opinion. This is my opinion.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

That. That would help pack the sand.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

If you weren't pouring more than this and walking back and forth, which is a giant waste of time.

[Billy]

How far was it today? How far was it today?

[Matt]

Today's farther. We both know today is different than

[Shane]

we were talking years ago.

[Matt]

We know the hurricane. We know the hurricane. We're here.

[Billy]

The Way the things move. It's like now I'm filling up a thimble. I'm walking two miles back and forth.

[Matt]

It's like, Chris, Chris, you're right, you're right. It was an office water cooler water bottle. It was gigantic. And it was.

[Billy]

If you want me to be extremely packed it down. It did work, Chris.

[Matt]

You're right. You're right, Matthew. Box 20 is better than Prince.

[Chris]

You were.

[Matt]

You were filling up a 50, if you want.

[Shane]

Extremely honest. Glad you were pouring it out. You were also squeezing it as hard as you can and crinkling it up.

[Matt]

You squeezed it and crinkled it and

[Shane]

it was one of these water bottles.

[Matt]

I mean this.

[Billy]

That's in real time changing discussion.

[Matt]

Now I got to have a crinkle. I'm giving you a mental picture like this, all right? I got Bill on my side. He goes. Just so you know, you were crinkling it. And I got to go, yeah, you're crinkling it.

[Billy]

That affects to be filled up again.

[Matt]

I'm just.

[Shane]

No, I'm just saying, like that's what you do again. A little water bottle like this and filling it up. It wasn't any bigger than this. It was this big.

[Chris]

So not enough water.

[Matt]

It was a feudal. It was just. It was completely useless.

[Shane]

Just enjoy the beach.

[Billy]

It was useless. Other than the fact that it works.

[Chris]

In theory, it would.

[Matt]

It worked. You had to. With or without the.

[Billy]

I got all I got.

[Matt]

I got.

[Billy]

They ran the gamut. The wind stopped. Like all this stuff they just couldn't admit.

[Matt]

You think the water worked?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

You think pouring a this amount of water on the base many times.

[Billy]

It was back and forth. Yeah.

[Matt]

Maybe three. You gave up because you knew it was ridiculous. Well, I got caught in the middle of an argument I couldn't keep. But you did.

[Billy]

I didn't stop.

[Matt]

But you did. How many times do you think you went.

[Shane]

You had to keep doing it because it wasn't.

[Matt]

I would say.

[Billy]

I would say it's almost like. I would say seven to 10.

[Matt]

You think you did seven to 10 trips far.

[Billy]

It's not that far.

[Shane]

It was a long beach.

[Matt]

It was a long one. The beach was almost like Normandy.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

It was crazy. You were talking, you were falling, you're sound was given out. You were Hanks. Yeah.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Also, Chris, when you're telling me you took 10 trips, I think easy. You think you took 10 trips?

[Billy]

You think I wouldn't in the face

[Shane]

of this, why did you have to take 10 trips?

[Billy]

Someone goes, that's not gonna work. You don't think I'm doing 10?

[Matt]

At least 10 trips.

[Shane]

But why did you have to take 10?

[Billy]

I talked about it for six hours. I'm gonna make more than.

[Chris]

Did the umbrella stay after the water?

[Billy]

Yes.

[Matt]

Why did you have to do all before the water as well?

[Billy]

It didn't.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Billy]

It didn't. It didn't.

[Producer]

It didn't.

[Billy]

It fell over. Almost got blown away.

[Matt]

Almost.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Phil caught it.

[Billy]

Phil caught it. Phil caught it before it blew away.

[Shane]

But why did you have to keep filling it up?

[Matt]

And beach trip podcast is nuts.

[Billy]

Well, I had to. It's a great debate around it.

[Matt]

The greatest debate. The country needs another debate. We're back to the sand. Somebody wakes but up, please.

[Chris]

Now he's sleeping.

[Billy]

Moist driver.

[Chris]

What was your favorite part from the trip? Of the trip?

[Matt]

I swear to God, the argument last night was probably my favorite.

[Billy]

Really?

[Matt]

I love it. I love a beach. A beach argument. Yeah.

[Shane]

My favorite. Probably having to catch with my friends.

[Billy]

Stingray.

[Shane]

Having a catch with my friends.

[Chris]

Having a catch is nice.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Billy]

But the stingrays jumping, that was crazy.

[Shane]

I thought they were showing grace or I floaters.

[Chris]

I wish those guys.

[Shane]

I also.

[Billy]

There was a really great moment and I experienced this personally, but because there's a lot been a lot of like F15s and stuff flying over. We just saw Chinook. That was pretty cool.

[Matt]

Chinook was nice.

[Billy]

And then there was a pack of four. What I thought were, that's crazy. Navy planes, Air Force planes ripping down the beach. Turns out there was just pelicans. There's four pelicans.

[Shane]

Nate thought it was a duck.

[Matt]

They do it every day.

[Billy]

It was great.

[Matt]

They literally thought the pelicans. That was probably my favorite moment. A pelican laying in the water. And they go, yeah, that's a big ass duck. God damn it. Trying so hard not to be racist.

[Chris]

I liked watching Nate enjoy the beach.

[Matt]

Nate enjoying the beach is very nice.

[Chris]

Nate's. It might be pure salt life now

[Matt]

you think you're solid.

[Chris]

I was watching the salt life gears.

[Billy]

He sat down and pissed in front of a family.

[Matt]

Family photo. Nate's sitting taking the piss in one foot of water.

[Chris]

That is solid. It's an inch of water. Should have been more obvious.

[Shane]

Families are probably texting their friends. Like these Somalis.

[Matt]

How do they figure out, dude, did

[Shane]

you know that this place is where they filmed Truman Show?

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Chris]

You're saying that.

[Shane]

It's crazy.

[Chris]

Yeah, it makes sense.

[Matt]

Makes sense.

[Chris]

Yeah. As soon as you said, I was like, yeah, it makes perfect sense.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Chris]

That is pretty nice just to shift gears. True. It's a good gear shift. This is a. Why, this is kind of a wild town.

[Matt]

It's cool.

[Chris]

Very cool.

[Matt]

It was cool. We like it here.

[Chris]

Yeah, true.

[Matt]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We won't get.

[Chris]

We won't say where it is.

[Matt]

Don't worry, I'll defend you. Yeah, it's more popular. Dude, I think Britney Spears is better than I defend you had him on the ropes.

[Chris]

The track by track was devastating. The track by track was devastating.

[Matt]

I lied.

[Chris]

Listen. On the beach and just going track by track and being like, yeah, domination.

[Matt]

Yeah. There's no comparison. What's that?

[Shane]

Agamemnon. How do you say his name?

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Shane]

That is Metallica.

[Matt]

That was the coolest I've ever seen.

[Chris]

That's where I jump off the train. I don't like Metallica like that. I don't think they're that. If you were to just go, all bands of all time. They are just. In my opinion. Yeah, they're not that good.

[Matt]

Who's better? Prince?

[Shane]

Everyone's got opinions, bro.

[Chris]

I would say, well, you're back to your other part. Now you're Britney Spears over Santana. I would go, yeah, I. I would genuinely. But I really don't like. I don't like metal. That's the thing for me, it's tough. I don't.

[Shane]

I know.

[Billy]

But I mean, you can even.

[Shane]

You don't like and you still have to pick them.

[Chris]

But yeah, they have more songs that I'd be like, okay, this is kind of a slammer than Prince, obviously. Yeah. But you. Now we're talking sub top, like sub 50. What do you say?

[Shane]

He's bench 315. You literally need to listen to Kill Them All.

[Matt]

What did you say? If you could bench 315, you would like Metallica. You have.

[Chris]

There's way better metal for lifting, dude.

[Shane]

Kill them all, bro.

[Chris]

I'm sorry. Metallica's like. It's kind of soft for metal. Metallica is kind of soft from.

[Billy]

It is, dude.

[Chris]

It just is. Deftones. Real lifters. Deftones.

[Shane]

Come on, bro.

[Guest]

Hey, look.

[Matt]

Let it be SoCal so bad. You want to be SoCal so bad, bro?

[Chris]

Guilty as charged.

[Shane]

I'm a Mighty Muddy Boss Tones guy.

[Chris]

They rock. I'm just saying I don't think is in the pantheon of, like, the greatest of great bands.

[Guest]

They're.

[Chris]

They're super successful.

[Shane]

More power to them. Moscow, Moscow.

[Chris]

CIA put them there. CIA put them there. And then we did Russia. We use them to do Russia, you

[Matt]

are coming up with. CIA put them there.

[Chris]

No, I didn't.

[Shane]

That's.

[Chris]

That was a fact. Why did the CIA selected.

[Shane]

Why did the CIA put them there?

[Chris]

Someone was telling me that literally on the.

[Matt]

No, we just said that.

[Chris]

So who said that?

[Matt]

Drunk Chris said that. Yeah, Well, I think that. He said.

[Chris]

I think he's onto something with that.

[Matt]

No, I mean, it's a fair choice. We brought bands to Moscow, obviously. The CIA probably did that.

[Chris]

Exactly. But they're kind of. I said, you're saying they're responsible for that.

[Billy]

If you want to foment. If you want to foment unrest. If you want to foment unrest in a communist,

[Matt]

you drop what there.

[Billy]

You enter the sandman.

[Matt]

You enter salmon. You go, fellas, I know. He goes, what do you think of the eastern block?

[Shane]

And then you said, this Bulls on Parade would probably do just as good as.

[Chris]

I'm saying there was a bunch of bands. Yeah.

[Shane]

And the two agents.

[Chris]

The rap part would have kind of blew it.

[Shane]

Yes, it would, obviously.

[Chris]

But there was other bands that could have rocked Moscow. That was a captive audience.

[Matt]

So other bands. Other bands did do that.

[Chris]

Who else?

[Producer]

Rock.

[Matt]

It was a bunch of bands, did that concert.

[Chris]

Who else?

[Matt]

But entertainment. Entertainment was the moment they met.

[Billy]

The moment.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt]

I think Sabbath was on that.

[Guest]

Really?

[Matt]

I think a bunch of bands.

[Shane]

Russians are metal.

[Chris]

Gigantic Russians are metal.

[Matt]

But when you put Metallica Enter Sandman in Moscow, that rocks.

[Chris]

I've said before, that video.

[Matt]

I promise, I challenge anyone to find me a better concert moment than that.

[Chris]

That. I mean, it's. Historically, it's amazing.

[Matt]

So that puts them, in my mind, in the pantheon of rock titans.

[Shane]

Yes, obviously, dude.

[Chris]

In terms of, like, bands I could put on and be like, damn, these guys rock. I can listen to all their songs. You listen to two Metallica songs, you're done for a month.

[Shane]

Bench 315.

[Chris]

Come on, dude.

[Billy]

I don't know, man.

[Matt]

They got some good ones. That's nasty.

[Billy]

Nothing else matters.

[Chris]

We can do the Presidential Fitness Test right now. I'd whoop that ass.

[Matt]

I don't run. That's my president.

[Shane]

I don't run.

[Chris]

I'm talking weekends.

[Matt]

We can run.

[Chris]

We can swim. You do a lot of stuff.

[Matt]

I don't run from nothing.

[Chris]

I'm just saying, dude. I'm just saying, like, there's so much.

[Matt]

If you listen to Metallica, you'll never run, dude.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt]

You'll go, dude, I face death, dude. I'll fight.

[Chris]

Don't fight.

[Matt]

If I listen to you, too, I'm sprinting. Like this.

[Chris]

That was a true point.

[Matt]

You're gonna go, oh, my God, there's a moth. Metallica. You go, dude, somebody's entering my house.

[Shane]

I'm gonna fight him and then kill myself.

[Chris]

Now, if you listen to Metallica say, someone's in my apartment. What the.

[Matt]

You say, I'm gonna stand my ground in my apartment. Mom, dad, get down. You gotta go to school.

[Chris]

I just don't think. But that video is sick. And that video was the first time I sort of got. I went, damn, this kind of rocks. Yeah, but that's it for me. It's like, if I'm chilling, the last thing I'm thinking about is putting on James Hetfield in large.

[Matt]

Nobody. Nobody. If you're chilling and popping Metallica, you weirdo. For sure. But it's designed for what it's.

[Shane]

That's like being like fireworks.

[Matt]

It's fireworks. You're like, I'm not gonna chill and just light off a firework. If you're a beast, of course you're not. The. Honestly, the exact correlations of the same guys who chill and put on Metallica. Chill and go, I'm gonna let a

[Shane]

firework at 2:45 in the afternoon.

[Matt]

But when you need fireworks, you go, bro, that's fireworks.

[Chris]

I think, see, now we're talking about lifting rap. I think rap's better for lifting Metallica. If I'm gonna get pumped, I'm going rap.

[Shane]

I go, I can't listen to rap anymore.

[Matt]

It's because you. You're, like, rotted to the core with racism. It's just so deep. It's just. It's got.

[Shane]

So speak to me anymore as a

[Chris]

you till I collapse on the lifting playlist. You're not doing till I collapse. No, come on, bro.

[Shane]

I'm not a real slim guy.

[Chris]

Come on, dude.

[Matt]

Until I collapse, you keep doing anything he is doing.

[Shane]

Rap stopped probably 24, 25. And I was just like, man, when

[Chris]

were you benching 315? You're trying to get off the floor.

[Shane]

I would say three years ago, maybe.

[Chris]

You did the PAs first. Dude, I was firing back.

[Matt]

I'm just here, pure usda, no chips on this table. The only reason that was a good

[Shane]

one, the only reason I left is for Oklahoma drills. We'll do Oklahoma drills. And that's the fitness test.

[Matt]

Come on.

[Chris]

This is what you do. You do. You do a bandwidth this wide and go. I could beat you with that. It's like, cool, what I'm talking. Let's run the gamut. Let's do The Olympics. I'm talking about, let's go crazy. Let's spread it. Let's go.

[Matt]

Let's go crazy. You have.

[Shane]

Dude, you're talking to me me right now. You have someone who's so on your ass and you have no idea. Hoss is like the Russian in Rocky right now. Just came third place in a bodybuilding competition. That's your true enemy, not my enemy.

[Chris]

We built. Me and him build each other up. I'm not like CIA. I wouldn't go there. I wouldn't go tear Russia apart. He burnt a bodybuilding man. He shredded. And I'll still be him.

[Matt]

I was on the beach.

[Producer]

I know.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Guest]

Hello.

[Chris]

You threw the PAs.

[Matt]

I didn't throw any PA. You did throw PAs first. You started the 315 bench. When you're losing an argument that bad though, is crazy. You lost that argument so badly. What? Dude, you blew it, dude. It was Metallica versus you too. And I. I heard you losing it. Chris. I heard. Chris jumped in screaming.

[Chris]

I had to.

[Matt]

I had to call downstairs. I said, what the is going on?

[Shane]

I was behind enemy lines. You went to sleep?

[Matt]

Yeah. You retreated. No, I went upstairs. Don't ever hit me again.

[Producer]

Don't ever.

[Matt]

You retreated on guys trip. You hit me again. Now listen twice now. I'm gonna join, man. We're gonna literally shave your head. We're gonna humiliate you.

[Shane]

Kill myself.

[Matt]

You will. You will if don't make me join Matt, dude, We'll make you die. Go ahead. I went upstairs and I laid down nice. And I heard screaming downstairs.

[Shane]

And I was like, I don't say

[Matt]

a lot of people. That was. It was unbelievably loud.

[Shane]

We're talking loudly.

[Matt]

Like people were screaming. Once I heard the Kiss man. Once I heard the Kiss man go from the bar to the couch, dude.

[Billy]

I was like, yeah.

[Matt]

I had to call and go, what's the situation? I would call downstairs a guitar. I called downstairs go, yo, what the are you screaming about? He goes, okay, this is what I'm saying is. Is you to a guitar forward band. And I was like, yeah, it's my favorite argument I've ever heard. That almost got you out of the room. I almost came downstairs 1am Someone going,

[Chris]

you do is not a guitar forward band.

[Matt]

And somebody else be like you. No, dude, that's what I love, dude.

[Chris]

My favorite part was genuinely put up the compilation. I have no idea if edgy go.

[Matt]

Here we go.

[Chris]

Check it out. And it was just like, come on edge. And I even jumped Ahead. It was like. That made me laugh. I was like, damn it, Edge.

[Guest]

It.

[Chris]

I was just assuming. I'm like, this guy's got a shred.

[Billy]

I didn't realize the Edge had solo projects.

[Matt]

Oh, really?

[Chris]

Wait, those are actually fire.

[Matt]

I listen to Edge all the time. You think you know me, dude.

[Chris]

I stay edging. Yeah, that one. That really sunk my battleship.

[Billy]

I was like, cap, is it acoustic or is he.

[Chris]

It's just, like, top 10. You would think, like, top 10 moments. Shred, shred. Shredded, dude. I pulled the first one on was for real. Like, just a try. There's like a D chord. Like, I'm like, okay, here we go. Hit again. And it was just like.

[Guest]

He.

[Chris]

It was just bad.

[Billy]

Did he have the yellow, like, translucent Oakley's on or.

[Shane]

No, that's bomb.

[Chris]

That's mono, bro.

[Billy]

I thought the Edge did that, too.

[Shane]

I think he just had sunnies.

[Chris]

Pono would not allow him to wear.

[Shane]

Yeah,

[Chris]

right. He'd be feeding the world. He'd be like, actually, that's my thing. Back up.

[Matt]

I just. Just sending pictures of you two to the group. If you Google pictures of you, too, you go, these are literally the lamest dudes. Yeah. Of all time. Cold Coldplay butt. You too.

[Guest]

[Shane]

I literally don't like Bono as a dude.

[Matt]

Yeah, this man. Dude. You two over Metallica is nuts.

[Chris]

I'm saying what I'd rather listen to. I swear to God, if I had to do YouTube's hits like the two songs that I like versus Metallica, I would genuinely pick the U2 song one. Still haven't found what I'm looking for. Yeah, there's my only two you two songs. I know, but I like those songs. 1.

[Billy]

Streets have no Names, Streets Out.

[Chris]

They played on the beach. It kind of stunk. On the beach.

[Matt]

Yeah. We. We went.

[Chris]

One. One is. One is.

[Matt]

We went.

[Billy]

You can't listen to you two under attack.

[Chris]

Ah, yeah, true. It's a private matter.

[Billy]

You can listen to Metallica under attack. I will.

[Matt]

You can go. I defend this with my life.

[Billy]

Yeah, yeah. It's. It's literally fighting your interlocutors. Yeah, true.

[Matt]

Going. Going from Chris. Going from sitting on the beach, beach blasting For Whom the Bell Tolls during a thunderstorm at night on the beach in Florida. Lightning. I'm with you like crazy.

[Billy]

I'm with you.

[Matt]

Going inside and hearing people say you two is better. I mean, what are we talking about?

[Billy]

It's gonna ruffle your feathers.

[Matt]

What do we do? Nate, you were out there for that.

[Chris]

It was incredible.

[Matt]

If I was playing Sunday Bloody Sunday during that, you would have said I was, man, it's a big ass duck.

[Shane]

I mean, realistically, I was inside the horse all night.

[Matt]

You were in the horse?

[Shane]

I was in the horse all night until once the sun went down, I broke out of the horse.

[Matt]

What did I tell you today? What? When you and I stood on the beach and I said, I'm. I'm Agamemnon. And I said, tonight. Tonight we leave the horse.

[Shane]

I was in the horse.

[Matt]

We were on the beach. I said, don't worry, we're gonna get them tonight. And what did we do? Can you admit, yo, I'm Odysseus? Can you admit, no, I'm Odysseus. You admit we got him in there. I felt the horse.

[Billy]

Hold on.

[Matt]

Can we like. Did we burn Troy tonight?

[Shane]

We burned Troy. Yeah.

[Chris]

I lost on the beach. However. November rain is. I would still argue that's better choice.

[Shane]

Burn, brother.

[Chris]

You almost lost, bro. Easiest argument.

[Shane]

You know, many soldiers almost died in that horse waiting for it. Drug and Detroit.

[Chris]

I will say, look, I was bleeding. See that loss. I can see that loss.

[Shane]

And in the horse.

[Chris]

See that lost. But I just think like, like, dialogues like this are really important to me, actually.

[Matt]

Love YouTube. That's a YouTube, guys.

[Chris]

Dialogues like this is what the country needs. People just come together. Hey, I know we don't agree on everything. Doesn't mean I don't like you as a person. Billy's clips.

[Matt]

Billy's. Why such a for real. You're Fuentes. You're Hunter Biden.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Chris]

A lot of my kids friends are listening to this Metallica. I'm just trying to get a hand around. I'm trying to figure out what it's about.

[Matt]

It's interesting.

[Shane]

That was crazy.

[Matt]

Apac. I know we're talking Gavin now, but Apac. Wow. I never even thought of that.

[Shane]

That's interesting.

[Matt]

It's interesting.

[Shane]

It's interesting that you say that.

[Matt]

2020.

[Shane]

I saw a dude down here with the Trump 2828 flag. That's powerful.

[Matt]

That's literally the last Mohegan. Trump 2028. You have to be the dumbest guy alive. I mean, he's there with like two knives. No, it's.

[Chris]

It's like. It's like third floor balcony to the ground. Trump banner.

[Matt]

He was there last time we were here.

[Shane]

Yeah, he has 2028.

[Chris]

I don't know. He had just a G. Like. No, it was. It was.

[Shane]

It's Trump.

[Chris]

250. 250 years. Then it's thank you.

[Shane]

Boomers are hard on the 250 love right now.

[Matt]

It's wild. 250 love is sick.

[Shane]

They were also there for the bicentennial too, which is sick.

[Matt]

I do love 250.

[Chris]

250 just hits.

[Shane]

You got to put a sticker on your car. Love my dad put a sticker on everyone's car. 250 and you got to get an sob sticker.

[Chris]

No, it is.

[Matt]

I might get a terrace hunting permit.

[Shane]

That's tough.

[Matt]

Yeah, I like that.

[Guest]

Actually.

[Matt]

South of the border, Terror's hunting permit still being Trump.

[Chris]

Build is nice.

[Matt]

They lost all their swag. Who Trump dogs?

[Billy]

What?

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Shane]

No, just like trying to get us into wars. It's like terrorist hunting permit was sick. Now they got nothing they were.

[Matt]

They were coming off. They're firing also, you know, they should have done.

[Chris]

Is taking a break from war. That would have helped. They've like, chilled for a little bit. Maybe you could get stirred back up. If you're in war all the time, you're like, oh, God damn it.

[Matt]

Here we go. Yeah, that's a great thing. I never thought of it like that.

[Shane]

That's why we had to have gone.

[Chris]

I mean, it's just.

[Matt]

It is important to have conversations.

[Shane]

Open the straights, you crazy bastards.

[Matt]

Praise be to Allah. Hit him with a Tyson. Praise be to Allah.

[Shane]

Crazy.

[Matt]

I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah. Easter. Tyson became Muslim for a minute.

[Shane]

That's sick.

[Matt]

He was fired up.

[Shane]

Damn.

[Matt]

I want to eat your children. Lennox Lewis jabbed him to death. Lennox destroyed him.

[Guest]

He did.

[Shane]

Can't bring kids into the equation.

[Billy]

I forgot about Lennox Lewis.

[Matt]

This was a legend. Yeah, Legend in the pub.

[Chris]

True, true. He's probably dragged with Edge. For real.

[Billy]

More than likely. Yeah.

[Matt]

Tyson's obviously Metallica. Yeah, that's understandable. That's entertainment. That's what that energy is.

[Billy]

Lennox Lewis is November rain.

[Matt]

No, obviously. Who's better all time. Obviously. Who's better all the time?

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, I'll take that.

[Matt]

Tyson or Lennox Lewis?

[Chris]

I think that's good. Common ground.

[Matt]

Yeah, yeah, but with just jabs.

[Chris]

Volume, volume.

[Billy]

Say eight minute tracks.

[Matt]

Here's the third guitar solo.

[Shane]

You guys love this, right? Excuse me while I beat my wife.

[Chris]

You know, I'm gonna sit there and I'm gonna look up Edge guitar solos all night now. Yeah, I'm gonna find you're gonna have a five minute once. Dude, he's. I. I gave him like. Like two solid minutes and I was

[Shane]

like, you should buy his signature Stratocaster. He has a signature.

[Matt]

Shout out to Marcus King for selling the debate.

[Shane]

Obviously a professional musician.

[Matt]

I know your brother.

[Chris]

Shout out to him for sure.

[Matt]

I know your brother. Tom said differently.

[Chris]

We're two too, obviously. No, we got. We got some.

[Matt]

Tom being included with those other three is preposterous.

[Chris]

Okay, fair enough. But Billy caught him.

[Matt]

You know that the records are.

[Chris]

I'm very. When it comes to.

[Matt]

I'll probably put you on in November, Marine.

[Chris]

For sure.

[Matt]

Yes, obviously.

[Shane]

Tom's told me that's like his favorite song.

[Chris]

He's. But he's a musical fictionado.

[Guest]

For sure.

[Matt]

Yeah, but the guys we called are actual. Yeah, the. Actually, It's.

[Chris]

It's only 2. Verse 1. 2v1.

[Billy]

You think?

[Chris]

And. And two of the guys were led by Three. That was leading. That was leading the witness.

[Matt]

Marcus. Marcus was led the.

[Chris]

Fair enough, fair enough. Third wasn't.

[Shane]

Third was third.

[Matt]

Literally. I open for you too.

[Chris]

Yeah, fair, fair, fair. Third is not lead.

[Billy]

Do you think the edge.

[Chris]

So it's one verse.

[Billy]

One. Do you think the edge is big enough?

[Matt]

This is very good. We can keep that.

[Billy]

Do you think the edge has, like, a historian? Like a specific edge Historian?

[Chris]

An edge, Lord, probably.

[Billy]

No,

[Shane]

it's.

[Matt]

Matt's gonna start uploading solos to YouTube.

[Shane]

Edgelord69.

[Matt]

King of the edge. Lord, you got to make a YouTube channel. Edgelord69.

[Shane]

Just start clipping.

[Chris]

Make him be like, oh, guys, this next technique he does is actually really kind of cra. Very.

[Matt]

Yeah, I like depth in my music and range. Layers, layers, layers. Depth, range.

[Chris]

Yeah. Little dissonance here and there.

[Matt]

Love dissonance.

[Chris]

I love distance.

[Matt]

Metallic, right? You're right.

[Chris]

That's like listening to a diesel engine. You're just like, okay, it's punching a

[Shane]

guy in the face getting work done.

[Matt]

You got that diesel running.

[Shane]

That's getting work done.

[Billy]

It's tractor pull.

[Matt]

You're talking about making LBZ punch a guy in the face.

[Chris]

No, I'm talking about telling a woman how you feel.

[Matt]

Where?

[Chris]

Huh?

[Matt]

Which. Which one does that?

[Chris]

That's you too, dude.

[Shane]

No, I proposed to Gianna to kill them all.

[Chris]

Now just friend. Now you're front.

[Shane]

I did ride the lightning came on.

[Chris]

So you marry me like Metallica. That's the craziest thing. Never, bro.

[Shane]

I've been to seven of their concerts.

[Guest]

Me too.

[Matt]

This is what it's all about, dude. This is Beach Trip 2022.

[Chris]

This is guys having fun.

[Billy]

It's so great.

[Shane]

Conversations, like, these are important.

[Chris]

You know what's up? That I was thinking about literally just the other day, and it's kind of like, damning. I don't know if I should even unleash this. And it's like, not. I guess it's not. Well, I'm saying it's probably kind of dumb, but, like, you know, people pay for testosterone. Like, it's like something people. It's like, even women, too, will, like, get.

[Shane]

It helps launching this.

[Chris]

Nobody buys. Like, if you were to buy estrogen, what'd you say?

[Shane]

You're soft launching this. Yeah, Beyonce.

[Chris]

No, I'm just trying. I'm just trying to make sure. I'm trying to organize it right now, establish things.

[Matt]

Dude, this is important. We have conversations.

[Shane]

Yeah, good point. This is a very important conversation. People do buy.

[Chris]

Hey, he could do. It's little bro man, he's gonna do what he does.

[Billy]

You're saying you can't buy.

[Chris]

No, I'm saying you. You wouldn't buy estroge. You wouldn't.

[Shane]

You wouldn't like D1 crash.

[Chris]

It wouldn't make people buy. People pay good money for testosterone.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Chris]

It's the essence of a man.

[Shane]

What does it cost?

[Chris]

I don't know.

[Shane]

I don't either.

[Chris]

But I'm saying people pay money for testosterone. You would pay money to get estrogen out.

[Shane]

Girls are actually paying money for testosterone.

[Guest]

I know.

[Chris]

This is how. That's how damning. I'm like, that's really bad.

[Shane]

It's almost like guys rule and girls drool.

[Chris]

That's kind. I mean, scientifically proven.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Chris]

If you were to inject estrogen, you'd have, like, problems. Yeah, you'd be.

[Shane]

I think there are dudes.

[Matt]

We've had problems here.

[Shane]

Michigan plates.

[Billy]

Someone's had to need estrogen, though, right? Someone's had to need estrogen.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

There's dudes who take tea and their estrogen levels go to zero. I had to get estrogen because I had too much tea.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Chris]

My tea was super high when I was 10.

[Matt]

Yeah. My tea was too high. And they're like, dude, you're gonna do something.

[Shane]

And I think some girls do have, like, hormone problems.

[Matt]

I got waist. Well, I got my blood taste. Talking about, dude. And they were like, dude, your. Your te is at.

[Billy]

I believe they said that.

[Producer]

Yeah.

[Matt]

[Billy]

We need to balance what's going on in your.

[Matt]

They said, you're too jacked.

[Billy]

You're about to o on T. Yes.

[Matt]

High E. Is that the reason you keep winning arguments about against your girlfriend, Chris?

[Billy]

The reason you can't hear the damp and range of you two is the

[Matt]

T. And I said, can you please play entertainment T. Jack.

[Billy]

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, he wanted that.

[Chris]

Dude, the party's on, Dude, If a stops, party's on.

[Shane]

He was looking for a cure to Fauci's disease.

[Matt]

True. You dudes fouch.

[Shane]

Yeah, dude.

[Chris]

Metallica, CIA plants. They basically started the war in Ukraine.

[Matt]

Chris loves the war.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Billy]

I don't love it.

[Matt]

What a disaster. I don't love it.

[Chris]

But that's crazy.

[Shane]

That's what they use together.

[Chris]

Say that.

[Guest]

I can dance, man.

[Matt]

I'm.

[Chris]

I'm getting attacked. I can dance.

[Matt]

After what you did to Billy last night? That was it. I mean, I could hear him screaming, dude, I heard what you did to the boy.

[Chris]

What did I do?

[Matt]

I went upstairs and Billy got mogged, dude.

[Chris]

I saw a flaw in the argument.

[Matt]

I saw a floor, and I smiled in his face and went to bed.

[Chris]

No, I was saying good night. Genuinely.

[Matt]

Spud told me you went and went to bed.

[Chris]

I was tired.

[Matt]

I think it's a great move, by the way. I commended you when the three of us were outside. When you, me, and Spud sat outside this morning and he told me what you did, I was like. Like, hats off. That's the ultimate. That's a knockout. Leaving an argument when someone's yelling at you and going and going to bed is a knockout.

[Chris]

I don't think I was trying to do that. You committed me on a move on the beach. I didn't know I was making a move.

[Matt]

I respect the moves.

[Chris]

I do. It might be subconscious.

[Billy]

Yeah. It comes naturally.

[Matt]

My favorite moves are just being like, dude, you see how I can admit when I'm wrong and you can't? Anytime someone proves you wrong and you go, see how I said yes? You're right on this?

[Billy]

This.

[Matt]

You haven't said that once.

[Chris]

Well, it's a trap. Because you're like, yeah, I do. And you're like, now I'm stuck.

[Shane]

You're arguing about something different now. That's what I'm saying. I was taking on machine gun fire. And you went to sleep, dude, I

[Matt]

couldn't defend you anymore. I was also. You don't even realize this. I had a third drone. I'm going. Chris is back there screaming about.

[Billy]

I was not.

[Matt]

I'm going, Chris.

[Shane]

Chris was in the bullpen. I was waiting to get him out.

[Billy]

I was on the porch having a great time.

[Matt]

Or at least you have before that screaming.

[Chris]

Bill by the table being like, he started the top 1,000.

[Matt]

We're talking about you doing your timelines.

[Chris]

Was I not out on the porch

[Billy]

with you having a conversation about.

[Chris]

That was way after.

[Billy]

No, it wasn't.

[Shane]

We were having the argument.

[Chris]

What do you mean?

[Billy]

The whole time, when you guys got into this that's okay thing, I walked away from it. I went.

[Matt]

You went like this.

[Billy]

I got down to Atlantis.

[Chris]

The original. The original argument that was my favorite is when Tommy was making the risotto. Chris came in. You're like, you make a Rush mushroom risotto, and Thomas goes, yeah, and just walks away.

[Matt]

My favorite. That was. That was. That was. Now, look, this is one of the finest moments of Mike. I like to stir it up. When you leaned over and talked to him and went, what are you making? Risotto, Obviously. I know Tommy. Sure. However you say.

[Shane]

Are you.

[Chris]

You enthusiastic?

[Billy]

Are you making a wild mushroom risotto?

[Chris]

You were. I was telling me a cranky response.

[Matt]

Now, when you did that, I. I was behind you, and I pushed you back in towards him, which made me very happy. I was right behind you. I was out of frame. Pushed you in. I knew you're being stage.

[Chris]

I knew you're being enthusiastic about it. I was like. It was enthusiastic, but, you know, Tommy

[Matt]

was gonna be furious. Somebody was.

[Chris]

He thought you were coming. He thought you were. Yeah. Where's my dinner?

[Matt]

When someone's making dinner and you come in hammering, you making the risotto, I don't think it's wrong.

[Chris]

It was.

[Matt]

But I knew you would take it.

[Billy]

I was. I was like, that's awesome.

[Matt]

It was awesome. You didn't say, that's awesome. You literally said, you making the risotto and pushing you into that made me feel very good.

[Chris]

Well, when I.

[Billy]

When I entered it in to be sent out, I. I thought it was.

[Matt]

I knew your mentality.

[Chris]

That was my smile before leaving.

[Guest]

Same thing.

[Chris]

I was like, good night, everybody.

[Billy]

I had no intention of.

[Matt]

Nobody would have thought speaking down to

[Billy]

the wild mushroom risotto. It's great.

[Shane]

I mean, it's hard, but these are conversations we have to have

[Chris]

by the way.

[Matt]

By the way, these are conversations we literally contractually have to have. So we're doing it. Literally.

[Chris]

It's very important we have these conversations.

[Matt]

Personally, I think it's funny.

[Billy]

It is.

[Matt]

I would like to hear this argument. You know. Yeah, this one, this entire podcast. It's a good ide to hear this.

[Chris]

Yeah, it's a good argument. Then you can right or left.

[Shane]

It just has to.

[Matt]

Right or left. Not a lot of guys tell like it is like we are right now.

[Chris]

I agree. Totally agree.

[Matt]

Very man, that's a big ass duck. The pelican fool.

[Producer]

[Matt]

Hello, love. Anyway, we're back.

[Chris]

Yeah, we're fired up.

[Matt]

I never thought I went into it, I saw a meme that said Elliot Page was playing Achilles.

[Shane]

Yeah, Rage.

[Matt]

So right when I saw it, I was like, why is Achilles running like that? Why is Achilles acting like a Achilles gets speared right away?

[Chris]

And I was like, oh, you thought

[Matt]

it was Achilles in the opening scene? Literally while I was watching, I was like, damn, dude, that is a terrible portrayal.

[Chris]

So who was Elliot Page actually playing? Just a random soldier.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Yeah. And it was actually. Truthfully. And I'm gonna get called a lib for this. I liked it.

[Chris]

It was decent.

[Matt]

I liked Elliot Page in Hades as well. Liked it.

[Chris]

She's in the underworld.

[Matt]

Sue me. Sue me.

[Shane]

This conversation court. Strong and powerful.

[Matt]

I liked it.

[Shane]

It was strong, power, powerful.

[Chris]

It was just enough casting controversy. Too much. Too much would have been a problem.

[Matt]

Nah.

[Chris]

Yeah, you need a little casting.

[Shane]

Astro World in the beginning was Astro

[Matt]

World pissed me off. That was crazy.

[Shane]

They literally had his neck tattoos in the directly into what?

[Matt]

I thought Achilles pissed me off.

[Shane]

What?

[Matt]

I thought it was that and then Achilles.

[Shane]

I was like, this Damon looks like a hairless chimp. High day.

[Chris]

Nice.

[Matt]

Damon's definitely Metallica.

[Shane]

Rip.

[Matt]

He's more Metallica than you.

[Shane]

It's craziness.

[Chris]

Yeah, it's fair. I gotta see it to form my own opinion.

[Shane]

But I paid you too.

[Matt]

Other page you do.

[Chris]

I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say that. It is what it is, I'll say Pattinson.

[Matt]

Or beyond that, definitely Metallica.

[Shane]

He's Metallica.

[Chris]

You can't just claim all the guys you like. That's just. I didn't. I didn't see the movie.

[Matt]

That was one of the greatest things I've ever heard about it. I'm gonna name something. You tell me.

[Chris]

It was YouTube.

[Matt]

You tell me. Metallica or YouTube. Football.

[Chris]

I'll give you Metallica for that.

[Guest]

Okay.

[Matt]

Okay, we're done.

[Guest]

Fair.

[Matt]

It's the end of the game.

[Chris]

That's fine.

[Matt]

Skateboarding Metallica. Okay. I'm trying to think of something else that's cool as

[Shane]

fishing.

[Chris]

That could go.

[Matt]

You too. Deep sea Choppy.

[Chris]

Dude, that's. Sorry, but here's what you're doing. You're narrowing the dimensions.

[Matt]

No, I'm just naming the coolest possible possible.

[Chris]

You don't want choppy. You want choppy waters, bro.

[Matt]

It's a hell of a story. We live to tell the tale. The coolest dude, you guys don't want choppy waters decided will favor us.

[Chris]

You guys, if I was deep sea fishing, that's you too, man. If I'm on. If I'm on choppy waters, I don't want Metallica playing at all.

[Matt]

Yes. It's the only thing that's going to save you,

[Chris]

Cap. As captain of the ship, I would say. Turn that racket off. I need to focus.

[Matt]

Captain of what?

[Chris]

The proverbial ship.

[Guest]

On.

[Chris]

On choppy water. You're the one asking me Edge.

[Matt]

Lord.

[Chris]

You were asking me about it. I'm saying. Well, clearly I'm. I'm piloting or captaining.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Shane]

All right.

[Matt]

But you skateboarding and football or Metallica.

[Chris]

[Shane]

What would you say?

[Chris]

Come on. Metallica, obviously.

[Matt]

Okay, these are the six. The Grove. The Grove.

[Chris]

That's talent.

[Shane]

If you put on YouTube at the Grove, they throw the up.

[Chris]

No, they won, bro. If you put on YouTube one of YouTube biggest hits. Yeah, bro.

[Matt]

If you put on one of the

[Chris]

biggest hits, dude, there'd be ladies there.

[Matt]

There'd be some groves also pretty docile. They could. They're pretty face. Or on heroin.

[Chris]

If you put on a YouTube banger, Sunday, bloody Sunday at the Grove, they're gonna go.

[Matt]

But you put on. You put on Enter Sandman, Beer hills, going nuts.

[Shane]

Yeah, you're hearing it from Shane's dad's house.

[Billy]

True.

[Chris]

But then again, you're with your kids, you're like, all right, man. This devil music's kind of devil music, man. I'm not. I'm not into that stuff.

[Shane]

[Chris]

It's not for the family. Rock and rolls, Devils, Metallica, more so, you know, it's devil music.

[Billy]

Well, it's.

[Matt]

You know, that's all just bringing up a good point.

[Shane]

I mean, this is a crush conversation you have to have.

[Matt]

We love Christ. He's bringing up a good point. Yeah. It's an important conversation.

[Shane]

I work out to the music that plays when that sex scene happens in the kingdom of heaven. Yeah, they took it from talking about

[Chris]

the actual Crusades, not the movie Hannibal actor. They wouldn't have liked that crap, dude. The medieval priesthood.

[Shane]

Like they heard it. They would have thought they went to Hel Heaven.

[Guest]

Metallica, dude.

[Shane]

Yes.

[Chris]

This is a far. This is devil music. No, it was a turkey.

[Shane]

They started calling it devil music because they wouldn't give people a cut of their stuff. They said, oh, this is for the devil.

[Guest]

[Shane]

Don't listen to this, dude.

[Chris]

It's literally metal. Metal. Metal is. If you had to pick. Okay. If you had to pick the official music for devil worshiping, it would be metal.

[Shane]

That's.

[Chris]

I was completely done. It got me. I can't deny it. That was like the fifth dimension level of the argument.

[Matt]

Oh, yeah? Well, you were begging us to eat. You pause. No, that was Nate. That's the king of the pause, dude. He kept, like, falling down the ocean, being like, oh, my God, are you

[Shane]

guys gonna get me?

[Matt]

What the. Remember when you did that to me twice? You did that to me twice. Obviously, if you drown, we're in big, big trouble.

[Shane]

Hot water.

[Chris]

Nobody will believe us.

[Matt]

No one's gonna believe us. But who knows what happened anyway? We're gonna find out.

[Chris]

What you looking up, Bill?

[Matt]

Metallica.

[Shane]

Trying to find this video.

[Matt]

Denying it's crazy.

[Shane]

Yeah, I wish.

[Billy]

I wish I was Metallica.

[Matt]

Honestly, if we all voted. If you're Metallica, you are Metallica 100. What would you say about Chris?

[Shane]

Metallica.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Now what would you say about Billy? Metallica or you too.

[Billy]

Well, he's very. He's been you two to me.

[Matt]

Nice soft guy.

[Billy]

He's you two to me.

[Matt]

But.

[Billy]

Yeah, I don't think there's a Metallica in there.

[Matt]

No, but I don't think there's like a real evil boiling under the surface. I think it's. He tries to be a tough guy. He's got a rough outer shell because of the way he's raised. Totally. A bit of a crustacean. He's a lobster. Nothing underneath. Soft underneath.

[Billy]

See, this is just the kind of thing that brings the Metallica out. You're conjuring a Metallica.

[Matt]

I'd love to see it. He's trying to think he has it.

[Chris]

Try some of the Metallica.

[Billy]

This is a witch's brew.

[Matt]

No, but Guard dog's a freak. Guard dog's a little metallic.

[Billy]

Yeah, Guard dog is a Metallica.

[Matt]

Give him a couple of whiskey. He's like. What you say to me? You're Metallica, man. Sweet, man. Unfortunately. Where you too, bro? We can do.

[Chris]

I see how you're. You too. How are you not Metallica?

[Matt]

I'm gay all the time.

[Chris]

You're not. What are you talking about?

[Billy]

Yeah, you got Metallica in you.

[Shane]

I need this.

[Matt]

I don't think you've ever seen it.

[Billy]

I've seen it. I've seen it more than most.

[Chris]

Thrive off of discord.

[Billy]

I've been on the receiving end.

[Chris]

Thrive off of discord.

[Matt]

Lord.

[Billy]

I've been on the receiving end of a couple solos.

[Matt]

False.

[Chris]

False. False. Discord. How you're not Metallica.

[Matt]

False.

[Billy]

Yeah, dude.

[Matt]

That sounds like more Sabbath. That sounds like Sabbath.

[Billy]

The bell, the bells told for me a couple times.

[Chris]

We should just say we're all Metallic.

[Matt]

That's crazy. Obviously we're all

[Chris]

Bill, you're Metallica.

[Shane]

Change to try and get someone to say he's Metallica.

[Chris]

He's Metallica.

[Matt]

He is hitting the whole. I said, I said you, me and Nate are you too.

[Shane]

Yeah, I'm obviously Metallica.

[Matt]

You're not at all. You the night. You're one of the nicest guys I know. You're a sweetheart.

[Producer]

Thanks.

[Chris]

Yeah, it's not a bad thing.

[Matt]

I'm striving, bro.

[Shane]

Now I need to kiss your stomach like the album.

[Matt]

Jeez. You know. That's you too.

[Chris]

That's you too.

[Matt]

That's you too.

[Chris]

I'm trying my whole life. Should get to you too.

[Matt]

That's what makes you the most metallic. Non stop.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Like, dude.

[Shane]

Trying like hell.

[Matt]

Going crazy. That is Metallica.

[Billy]

Yeah. Every day I go, I'm. You too. I don't know why everyone treats me

[Matt]

like that's the difference.

[Billy]

Know all I'm doing is playing you too.

[Matt]

Am I taking crazy P. I'm saying this over and over again. You too. All that I see.

[Billy]

Swear. Me too.

[Shane]

There's a little kid on a bed singing that.

[Matt]

And then in the.

[Shane]

When the drums kick and he slaps his chest.

[Matt]

Cuz you're playing by the rule. Rules.

[Shane]

We took it to the limit.

[Matt]

We took it today at the beach. We took it to the limit. Where's Beezer? Beer comes out.

[Shane]

You think you could summon him?

[Billy]

You gotta enjoy it.

[Matt]

Yes. Summon him.

[Shane]

Text him.

[Chris]

Beer.

[Matt]

He's not gonna like it.

[Billy]

No, he's out on the. He's out.

[Chris]

He's out. Yeah, he's.

[Matt]

He's not gonna like the pod chat. Bzt.

[Producer]

Yeah.

[Chris]

It's hilarious.

[Shane]

He's been stealing all Gardini's Cokes.

[Matt]

That's so funny. Did you know that? Wanting to watch Intervention while you're up. What the.

[Billy]

That's a. That's a. It's bees and Tommy.

[Matt]

It might be the most Metallica geezer and Tommy crushing intervention right now. Yeah. That's textbook.

[Chris]

That's complete Metallica.

[Matt]

God dang it. Well, well.

[Shane]

Getting stolen from him.

[Chris]

Huh?

[Shane]

Garden's been getting his Coke.

[Matt]

Stealing from him.

[Shane]

He's cokehead.

[Matt]

Somebody. Coca Cola. Yeah.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt]

He bought a couple Coca Cola classics. And somebody. Somebody didn't go out to the beach today. And somebody out of nowhere. 12 Coca Colas are gone. That's Metallica. I don't know who took them.

[Billy]

Smashing the hotel room.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Chris]

There are minis too.

[Matt]

The Cokes. It's not. All right. You were complaining about it. You were complaining about it. You were down at the beach going, somebody stole my Coca Cola. I think Brian drank them. You call it Brian's. I think that is.

[Billy]

Metallica is calling 6. Brian.

[Matt]

Yeah. I think B Dries ankle. Stop.

[Chris]

Yeah. Have. Seeing them disappear that fast is just alarming.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Being like, dude, someone drank eight minutes.

[Shane]

Somebody get these beggars out of here.

[Matt]

Somebody get these beggars out of here.

[Shane]

Him turning the side is amazing.

[Chris]

Can't wait to see it.

[Matt]

You're gonna love that scene. You're gonna see it so funny.

[Shane]

I was pissed. And they're kicking the dog.

[Chris]

I don't that it. We never did they kick the dog in the movie.

[Guest]

Yeah. Dang. We never.

[Chris]

We never talked about SP Odyssey.

[Matt]

Spotlight.

[Chris]

Spotlight.

[Matt]

Spotlight.

[Shane]

Spotlight.

[Matt]

That's YouTube. Spotlight. Literally. That's you to the movie.

[Shane]

Oh, you're talking about that movie.

[Chris]

Yeah, dude. That so bad.

[Shane]

There's nothing more powerful than the stinking Catholics.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Shane]

They got to stop raping kids. The hell's going on?

[Matt]

Like, Irish Catholics. They're never going to turn on these pedophiles. Yeah. Made this. The Is this. They did. That's the point of the movie. The movie's made because they did.

[Guest]

Yeah, dude, it was bad.

[Matt]

Nothing stops a Catholic when they got something on their mind. The blow city to stop it.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Salon. Here's boss. Yeah.

[Shane]

Irish boss behavior.

[Matt]

Crazy Hamas.

[Chris]

It was crazy. It's. Yeah, that was.

[Matt]

We rewatched it on. I came in, I was. Don't get me wrong, I had a couple cocktails down at the beach. Came in, the boys were snuggled up watching Spotlight on Tubi, which is the funniest version of watching a movie about.

[Billy]

Oh, my God, that.

[Matt]

Three seconds to commercials. AI Casino commercial.

[Chris]

Oh, my God, it was bad.

[Matt]

In the middle of people being like, many kids did he rape? He'd be like, are you ready to win money, dude?

[Chris]

They have, like, offensive. They're like, offensive commercials, dude. Yeah, they have one that would just be like, a hot cartoon.

[Matt]

Shields big.

[Chris]

A hot cartoon lady. And then it would just be the same commercial again with just two AI generated black guys. And it be like, I just want a ton of money. He's like, man, you playing games on your phone. He like, I want 900 bucks. Let's do it together.

[Shane]

Somebody get the swords.

[Matt]

I was upstairs fighting, shedding. Weapons down. Dude, you were. I was, Holling. I was trying to stop it. No, I was upstairs pushing back

[Billy]

frames.

[Chris]

Becoming what?

[Billy]

You're pushing the table.

[Matt]

He's kicking. He's. I can't do anything.

[Chris]

Why are you kicking the table? Yeah, why are you pushing? Are you having a YouTube spaz?

[Shane]

I. I can't do anything right, I guess.

[Matt]

Is it. I told you it was YouTube.

[Shane]

I was trying to. I was just trying to spread out.

[Matt]

Classic YouTube.

[Shane]

I'm running the shot.

[Matt]

See the metallic boys jump down your throat immediately. Seriously,

[Chris]

I literally. If you can see, you can replay it. You can replay the shot. I go like this.

[Matt]

Pushed it back.

[Chris]

First time I failed. It didn't go anywhere. I was like, God damn it. Everyone saw that, that

[Billy]

shot.

[Chris]

Some talking, some moving the table, ruining Gardini's frame. It's been a beautiful trip.

[Matt]

It's been such a beautiful trip. Very important conversation. I actually had such a nice trip.

[Chris]

That was awesome.

[Matt]

But every day I wake up, look out. I mean, look out. You see the ocean? I wait. So funny to wake up and see the most beautiful thing in the world and be like. Like, God damn. I don't think I can do this again. I don't think. Dude, I've been here for a week. I'll be here for like, five more years.

[Guest]

Dude.

[Chris]

You got to.

[Matt]

All in front of you.

[Chris]

You guys got.

[Matt]

Everyone's leaving.

[Chris]

Who's all leaving?

[Matt]

Everyone.

[Chris]

Dude.

[Matt]

I'm going to be here by myself.

[Shane]

Neighbors say you can eat pizza with them.

[Matt]

I'm going to hang out with the neighbors.

[Guest]

Hello.

[Chris]

Look like going full Metallica nasty.

[Matt]

No, that'd be you, too. That's Ride the Lightning. Voicemail. Obviously Mel Gibson, man.

[Chris]

He's Italica.

[Matt]

Okay. Tom Hanks. You too.

[Chris]

You too. For sure.

[Matt]

Okay. You see where we're going. But you understand the concept of which one's cooler.

[Chris]

Cooler, for sure. It is. I get that it's cooler.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Chris]

But it's.

[Matt]

It's.

[Chris]

I just. I mean, it's not for me. That's all style hats.

[Shane]

Backwards.

[Matt]

Could be edge, though.

[Chris]

I'll take it.

[Billy]

If it didn't have a brim on it. The edge. Yeah.

[Chris]

Odd hat if you cut the brim off. It just happens. I'm a backwards hat guy now. Not all the time.

[Billy]

50.

[Chris]

50. Sometimes I just go, I've got to flip this backwards. And we're about to talk, too. I don't want to be obscure. In my face.

[Shane]

Fire. You know you want to mess up. Guardian. He shot.

[Chris]

Not at all. I never want to do.

[Matt]

Is that funny to them? They're laughing.

[Chris]

I love his shots.

[Matt]

All right, let's do it.

[Chris]

Bye. Watch new episodes of Matt and Shane's secret podcast on Spotify.
