Harry
Yeah.
Sass
All righty. Welcome back to the Son of a Boy dad podcast. It is December 15th, and we are here live from HQ. Trays.
Harry
Francis. Beautiful haircut.
Francis
Thanks. I had to do it.
Harry
What do you mean you had to do it?
Francis
For the hair transplant I'm getting.
Sass
Oh, yes, yes.
Harry
You had to get less hair before you get more.
Francis
Yeah, you got to bring it all the way down. All the way down so that the surgeon has a clear view of which. Which are the best plants to pull that scalp from the back to the front.
Harry
He can't just push it to the side. What do you mean? Like, just push it. He. He can't have a better view unless it's all short.
Francis
You know, I wondered that. I did wonder that, but no, apparently, yeah, he's going to pull. He's going to pull him right from the. From the roots.
Sass
What are the odds they go in and you go in and they're just like, no, we've already done.
Francis
We've already determined.
Sass
It's so weird that, like, we're not going to rip your scalp apart right now.
Francis
As soon as I told the world that I was doing this, everyone started being like, dude, what? You got the most hair of anyone I've ever seen. You look Italian.
Harry
Yeah, you do.
Francis
It's like. But five minutes ago, people were, like, mocking me for my obviously receding hairline.
Harry
Who Mocked. You tell us their names.
Francis
I don't know.
Sass
Give us names.
Francis
Non Italian people, non Greeks. Yeah. The hairless.
Harry
The Northern Europeans. From nowhere near the Adriatic. What sea is it that they share? Is that.
Francis
What is that the Northern Europeans?
Harry
Aegean.
Francis
That's Italy and Croatia and all the former Yugoslav. No, that's the Adriatic. Sorry. The Aegean is where the. Is the Greek sea, dude.
Sass
Greek sea. It's a new one to me. I've never. I don't know if I'm familiar.
Francis
Surround Greece.
Harry
The Turanian is on the other side. Turanians on the other side of Rome.
Sass
The Turanian.
Harry
T Y R R H E N I A N. You'd think that that make it into more geography books, but you don't hear anybody talk. The Terranian.
Sass
No, my lack of. My knowledge of bodies of water outside of America is. Is quite small.
Harry
Do you even know the Great Lakes?
Sass
Don't worry about it, Harry. How come about that?
Francis
How come you didn't know that the pipe that we got you was a largemouth bass?
Sass
You know, I wondered that myself and I think it was just. I think I just assumed it was a trout.
Francis
Why?
Sass
Because, like, I'm a trout fish. I fish for trout. But I don't know why. I genuinely. People were furious about it.
Francis
I wasn't.
Sass
I understand. I understand why. Reasonably, reasonably mad.
Francis
I felt like. I very much felt like that scene in Meet the Parents when Ben Stiller presents Robert De Niro, your.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Autograph hero, of course, with a plant. And it's the rare tulip. And he gives it to him as this really thoughtful gift because in theory, Robert De Niro is a rare plant shop, of course.
Harry
Owner.
Francis
Owner, of course. And he says it's this. And then Robert De Niro is totally unimpressed and then fumbles his way through naming it.
Sass
Yeah, I know the exact.
Francis
Oh, it is a largemouth bass. Oh, yeah. I should have known. Clearly, you don't know much about fish.
Harry
No.
Francis
Which makes me wonder if the whole fish thing is just a front from. For some other than the CIA. Could be that.
Sass
I will say in my defense, typically largemouth bass don't have a inhaling hole in the front of them and a massive, massive barrel in the front to stuff.
Francis
That's what threw you.
Sass
Yeah, that is what threw me.
Francis
The fact that it was a pipe made it so that you could not identify the species of fish. A little bit.
Sass
Yeah. A little.
Francis
You know, this does bring to bear a thought, which is that, you know, superheroes who want to protect their real Identity so often go to great lengths to present a completely different opposite character. Yeah. If you are patrolling the streets at night.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And keeping the people of New York City safe. What you've created as the foil to that is the best camouflage that any superhero has ever made. Yeah.
Sass
No, I'm not protect. I'm not. I'm not keeping the streets clean.
Francis
That's exactly what you would say.
Sass
I wish I was.
Francis
And let's, let's, let's look at the facts for a second. You're constantly tired from going to bed super late.
Sass
No, no, no. I've actually. My sleep schedule's been phenomenal lately.
Francis
Yeah, well, my Donnie's cleaned up the street, so you don't have as much to do anymore. Right.
Harry
Yep.
Francis
Secondly, he pretends not to be a good athlete. You pretend not to be.
Harry
But like whenever we put him in an athletic situation, he thrives. Can wrangle a bad guy or whatever.
Sass
What are these situ. These, this athletic argument? I'm. I'm. I'm very lost.
Harry
Golf, swinging hockey, playing fish, casting, shooting. All these things that you are just good enough at where you couldn't pretend to be bad.
Sass
But I was terrible at shooting. Terrible at golf.
Francis
Yeah, but you, shooting, shooting. You, you, you intentionally.
Sass
We didn't catch any fish.
Francis
There were none to catch. They knew you were coming.
Harry
Right, exactly. Not going outside with that thing up there.
Francis
Yeah. Oh, shit. Guess who's here.
Sass
Fishing is also. I don't know if I would call that athletic.
Francis
You do this.
Sass
I mean, I would, trust me, I would love to be an athlete.
Harry
But I think to your point, things like Clark Kent being like this fucking studly reporter, that's obvious. Bruce Wayne being this fucking jacked up billionaire, that's obvious dude. Of course he's the one who's fucking in the bat filling out the Batman suit.
Francis
Yeah.
Sass
Trust me. I mean, I wish I was these things that you guys think that I am.
Francis
You went the opposite route.
Sass
I went what?
Francis
You went the opposite route from the sort of glitzy, glamorous billionaire playboy.
Sass
Exactly.
Francis
By the way, that's all of them, right? Iron man, billionaire, philanthropist, playboy, Green Lantern. They're all hot. You're. You're really throwing people real anti hero.
Harry
Like, like Daredevil. Like the super jacked blind guys, obviously. The super Jack blind superhero.
Sass
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.
Francis
You are keeping the people in your life safe.
Sass
Yes, yes.
Francis
Right. Isn't that the idea? Is that you protect you? You keep your identity secret so that the people, you know, the bad guys don't go after them.
Sass
Exactly.
Harry
Deadpool, the guy who's making the, like, quippy, like, pithy comments in real life is obviously the superhero making the fucking pithy comments.
Sass
You guys ever get into Deadpool?
Harry
It was even too much for me.
Sass
Too much for me as well.
Harry
I liked Ryan Reynolds up until that first one was.
Sass
I think Ryan Reynolds might be my least favorite person walking the planet. That guy is just. I can't stand him. He seems like he would be the worst person to, like, sit down and have a conversation with.
Francis
Oh, I don't know about that.
Sass
Oh, I think he's got a fucking stick his ass.
Francis
I don't think the. I don't think the Blake Lively Justin Maldoni thing did him any favors.
Sass
And see, I'm not even tuned in on that. I'm going off just raw personality here.
Francis
But what do you know of his personality? He's got comedic timing.
Sass
Oh, he has a little too many bone in his body.
Harry
No, he's like a little bit too moist of comedic time.
Sass
His comedic timing is the comedic timing that someone told him is comedic time.
Francis
No.
Sass
Yeah, he learned it in a Be ready. In a book.
Francis
No, dude, go watch him. Go watch him do some SNL stuff.
Sass
I will say I'm not very familiar with his SNL stuff, but that I don't know all of his movies. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not a Ryan.
Harry
He lays it on thick.
Sass
I'm not a Ryan Reynolds guy.
Harry
But I think that we come from a different age where we saw him in Van Wilder and, oh, he's next up.
Francis
And the rom coms, definitely, maybe Unbelievable.
Harry
Movie early on with that kind of stuff. It's like, oh, he's got it. And then he started to read his own press clippings. And then he started being this marmy. He thinks he is Daredevil.
Sass
He does. And he ruined Rob McElhenny too. Yeah, he destroyed him.
Harry
He wrecks him.
Francis
If you feel that way, then you'd have to say Rob McElhenny ruined Rob McElhenny.
Sass
Well, he did.
Francis
By going full.
Sass
By going Rob Mack.
Francis
Yeah, yeah.
Sass
He went Rob Mack. Yeah, yeah. But that's all. You can't tell me you don't think Ryan Reynolds wasn't behind Rob Mack.
Francis
I think that. I think that if from the mind.
Sass
That brought you Ryan Reynolds, we present Rob Mack, Ryren.
Francis
And Rob Mack. You know, look, if that's true, it would be because Rob McElhenny was aspiring to be Ryan Reynolds, not because Ryan Reynolds said hey, Rob McElhenny, I want you to become me and let's go buy a soccer team together.
Sass
And like, I think that's. I think it was. They were rolling. They bought the soccer team. You know, maybe things weren't like. Maybe, you know, they would go have their big meetings and stuff, sit at their big important meetings, and maybe they were like, Rob Mack's not really on that level of Ryan Reynolds, that level of, like, swagger.
Harry
I think we have to be careful because I think that if Francis gets really successful, he could wind up as Franel and you could go that full direction. Like, if you got crazy successful, you would probably, like, buy, like, a low tier British soccer team on a whim and be like, I'm gonna build them to, like, the top and do cricket wireless commercials and stuff like that.
Francis
Of course I would.
Harry
For staking the company.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. Make brilliant financial decisions. But Rob Ryren bought a gin company.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
And then sold it, I'm pretty sure, for like $400 million.
Sass
Yes.
Francis
Those are.
Sass
Hey, he's a great businessman.
Francis
Those are the moves you make when you are savvy.
Sass
Yeah, no, he's savvy. He's a good businessman.
Francis
By the way, Fran L has a nice ring to it. That makes me sound like one of the sons of Kal El.
Harry
Yeah. Or like Lee San Al Ghib.
Francis
Do you know who Kal El is?
Sass
I don't know.
Francis
That's Superman's dad, I'm pretty sure. Or it is Superman.
Sass
In real life. In real life or in the movie?
Francis
I don't know what Real life.
Sass
Like, is that the name of the actor?
Francis
Kal? Yeah.
Harry
You know, Superman's not real.
Sass
His real name's not Cal.
Francis
The Krypton people, they were the L family.
Sass
He was royalty.
Francis
It was. Can we look that up really quick?
Harry
No, you're right.
Sass
I think. I think you're right.
Francis
I know I'm right. I'm just wondering why. What the L part is. Is Cal L Superman or is that his dad is the question. I'm. I'm wondering.
Harry
That's Khalid El Amin, I think. Oh.
Sass
Kryptonian birth name for the Superman of Earth 2.
Harry
The Kryptonian birth name of the Superman of Earth 2.
Francis
I don't know exactly what that means.
Sass
But Be a cousin.
Francis
Yeah. Can we just briefly touch on what happened in Bondi beach in Australia?
Sass
Sure.
Francis
Okay, sure. We're not going weird, I promise. Obviously. Horrific nightmare.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Tragedy. We're not making it. Whatever.
Sass
We.
Francis
We understand that. And super sad and whatever. All of that, however, there was a hero.
Sass
Oh, there was. And it was. Yeah. That was sick. I saw that video this morning.
Francis
There was a hero. There was a hero who came out from behind a car and took the gun away from one of the assassins. And this is my fantasy. Yes, it is my undying fantasy. It's all I think about. I think about it. I wake up sometimes from dreams and feel good that I have done something like that, only to realize I haven't.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And therefore I can't die yet.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Because the thing I've been put on the earth to do, which is to stop a mass casualty event, I have not had the opportunity.
Sass
Well, I think you got to start. You got to start smaller, you know, maybe with like a single casualty event.
Francis
Well, I'm building my 1v1.
Sass
You got to get in a 1v1.
Francis
First I held on to the guy who knocked the old man down, but then he.
Sass
He broke free.
Francis
Well, he didn't break free.
Harry
He got out.
Francis
Trying to let him go.
Sass
He broke free. You think I couldn't have run out of the jacket.
Francis
Yeah, but that guy. Dude, do you know how fast I am?
Sass
Not as fast as that guy. Wrong. He's had.
Harry
Francis has had chances.
Francis
What was I supposed to do with that guy? We had nothing on him.
Sass
Take him out.
Francis
What then? What then? I'm going to prison.
Harry
You cheap shot. Gave him one cheap shot.
Francis
Thought about it.
Harry
That's what, a fucking, like a knee to the thigh? Give him a dead leg at least.
Francis
But then you're beating up on a guy who's drunk.
Sass
Oh, he was drunk.
Francis
Yeah, I told you that.
Sass
I don't think. I don't think I got that part.
Francis
He's very. He's pretty drunk.
Sass
The guy assumed he wasn't because it was the middle of the day.
Francis
I would have. I had the same thought.
Sass
Well, if he's drunk, I mean, then.
Harry
You gotta be, you know, bad.
Sass
He had a bad day.
Francis
The Chinese would say he was overserved. His true self.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
We see one's true colors when we drink.
Sass
Exactly.
Francis
We lose the facade.
Harry
But he got a little overserved.
Sass
He was overserved. What you should have done is you should have said, take me to wherever you were drinking. These bartenders need to learn.
Harry
You should have beat up the bartender. Yeah.
Sass
Yeah. Look what you did to this guy.
Francis
How did you let this guy go without a water? Give him a coffee. Black coffee.
Sass
No, you can't leave.
Francis
So I start there, right? The big one. I'm the big one. I'm waiting for Which I have talked about. This is my crowning achievement. What is? Helicopter crashes. East River. I take my shoes off, dive in. It's sinking. I go down, unstrap the unconscious family of four, and on each arm I take two. I might even have to go down one more time. But by that point, there is still tiny pocket of air in the.
Sass
Yeah, yeah. There's still breath, but it's just. It's just starting to break through the windows.
Francis
No, no, no, it's. There's water everywhere. I mean, I can barely see. But fortunately, my iPhone is waterproof, so there is a light on that.
Sass
So you're using the flashlight from your iPhone?
Harry
Of course.
Francis
East River's, like 70ft deep, at least.
Sass
Yeah, I don't know how bright that would be in the east river, though. It's brown.
Francis
Well, I know. Let's put it this way. I am clearing the pressure from my ears at least four or five times on the. Yeah. Chopper.
Sass
Yeah, that's smart.
Harry
But like Francis, the universe has given you multiple options to have little, like, wins.
Francis
Am I losing credibility as a hero?
Harry
The one guy, the four guys on.
Francis
The bike, that's the one that's worse.
Harry
That got away. The drunk guy who said the slurs and shove. The old man. They got away. The city. The criminals have never been more comfortable in New York City when they see Francis walking up.
Francis
Well, maybe I'm doing the sass thing and lulling them into a false sense of security. You can't be a hero too, obviously, because then people will know, oh, that's the guy. Let's go after his family.
Sass
I think you need. I think you need a. You need a win. You know, you need. You need an official.
Francis
Like, why do you think I'm going to New Zealand? They're next.
Sass
It could. It could be. You could do something small, like, say, stop. Like maybe. Like a. Maybe someone runs a red light on a bike and you shut it down.
Harry
Shoplifter.
Sass
You take them to the ground, stop.
Francis
Traffic on the people from cutting on the sidewalk.
Sass
Yeah, we need. But you need. That was. I mean, that was years ago.
Francis
Yeah, but it goes viral every time.
Sass
Yeah, but. I know, but we need another.
Francis
You think I can't.
Sass
You're a hero. You're living.
Francis
Living on mambo number five for 30 years, dude. Okay? When you make a hit that timeless, you can chill.
Sass
I think what we need to do is we need to get you just with the meta glasses on and just have you just walking around the city, just putting people in their place, correcting.
Francis
Them or helping posture. But I also help. I also do sort of the unsung, unseen things. Like I help the. Quite literally help the blind.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
That is one of your best.
Sass
That's heroic.
Francis
I did that.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Three blocks.
Harry
But that's like. That's. It's not like, quite like vigilante stopping a mass casualty event. That's like a different bucket of altruism. That's like Mother Teresa.
Francis
You're right. And you know what? He was never gonna lose his life. Which is why I did think about actually walking us in front of a Mack truck and then at the last second, grabbing him and be like, oh.
Sass
Yeah, and you get hit.
Francis
And then I've snow. I don't know.
Sass
Oh, maybe you get clipped a little bit.
Harry
Or we could simulate it. I think, like, we. He doesn't have to know that you were never gonna get hit, so we just come by and like. Like run into you, like. And like, you're like, oh, fuck, that was just a car. I just.
Francis
Oh, you saved you.
Harry
Yeah. And just like, tell the blind guy that we saved his life, kind of. So you don't have to actually be in danger. But he doesn't have to know. It's victimless.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Ron could come to his accents. I'. Man, that truck was driven by a Native American chief.
Harry
Oh, my goodness. My apologies. I didn't even see you there.
Francis
That's okay, sir.
Sass
I'm also blind.
Francis
We'll call it even. For stealing your land.
Harry
Okay, truce? Yeah. That is the dream. Just not having to actually do it, but getting the credit for it.
Francis
All right, so to back to the guy in Australia. First of all, I've been to Bondi beach.
Harry
Same.
Francis
It's probably the coolest beach in the world, as far as I can tell. It's amazing.
Harry
There's, like, beautiful rock formations at the end of it.
Francis
Endless. It's huge.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And that guy, he took the gun away and he. You know, I will say that, like, from a tackling perspective, his form questionable, right?
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Wrap up.
Sass
Yeah, but.
Harry
But then the guy can help keep holding the gun if you wrap up at the waist. I think he went for, like, the Brian Dawkins wing tackle and kind of like smack the shoulders down. So this guy could it on such a long.
Francis
You're not wrong. The question would be, in that situation, if you guys disarm that guy, do.
Sass
You shoot him now? But, like, if someone did, I wouldn't care, you know? But like me now, you wouldn't have.
Francis
Been able to pull that trigger. Safety's off. He's been firing it.
Sass
It's right there. No, no, no, I'm not. I'm not a killer.
Harry
Would you empty that. Would you go like, ah. And empty the clip into the ground or something like that? Like, hold it to your head for a second and show him you're crazy like Casey Affleck. There's so many options.
Francis
But a couple shots to the knee. Kneecap.
Sass
Yeah, Yeah, I could see.
Francis
You would shoot him in the knee. Yeah, yeah, I think I would try to do that. Miss. And hit him in the square of the face, like. Oh.
Harry
And that's where the Daniel Penny stuff comes in back in for you. Yeah, yeah. That's. That's brutal. But. And how about it was like a Hanukkah celebration at the beach that day.
Francis
Yeah. I mean, it's a nightmare.
Harry
So sad. But imagine the amount of zinc at that beach.
Sass
Zinc?
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Why?
Harry
You know, you put zinc on your nose when it's like. Really?
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Zinc oxide paste.
Sass
Of course.
Francis
Of course.
Sass
I don't ever do that.
Harry
Well, you're only half.
Sass
Yeah. I'm so confused. Is that people. That's what people put on their nose.
Harry
Is zinc, that white stuff?
Sass
I thought it was sunscreen.
Francis
No, it is a form of sunscreen. That's the most intense sunscreen, really. It's basically the cement of sunscreen.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
I hate to wipe that stuff off with a. With a makeup remover. You can't. It just comes off like this. You can't wash it off in the shower.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Why do you take zinc? To shoot ropes?
Sass
No, I took it last week because I was feeling sick.
Francis
You don't sound great.
Sass
I mean, I'm still not feeling right.
Francis
Is that from what you've been up to at night?
Sass
What have I been up to at night?
Francis
Prowling. Patrolling.
Sass
Patrolling the streets?
Francis
Yeah.
Sass
No, no, that's a pro. Staff just traveling a bunch. Haven't. Hadn't had a day off in a couple weeks.
Francis
So you want to tell us about Dallas? Anything fun happen?
Sass
Yeah, Dallas was fun.
Francis
Shows were good.
Sass
What's up?
Francis
Someone got kicked out of the show.
Sass
Oh, yeah. I mean, on, like, the Friday Late show, someone got kicked out, but it wasn't anything.
Francis
How did you manage that?
Sass
Oh, I didn't do anything.
Francis
Club people.
Sass
Yeah, I mean, people were, you know, if. I guess if you're at a show and someone gets kicked out, it's, like, memorable, but it's not. It was not one that, like, you would have ever. It's not one that I would have been, like, I gotta tell you guys about this guy that got kicked out. It's just some drunk dude.
Harry
You just touch your nose. Like Putin. Like, you ever see that video and, like, Putin's taking a picture and there's like, someone in the front row. You just touch his nose and then they disappear?
Sass
Yeah, no, it was. It was just some drunk dude. He was just hammered. I mean, he really. What? He. I think he, like, voluntarily, like, they went up to him and he was like, I'm leaving. Yeah, I get it. Yeah.
Harry
He was the same guy from Francis. His thing.
Sass
Yeah, yeah, could have been, dude.
Francis
So when I was in Boston, the security guard came into the green room.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And he had this whole amazing sort of speech.
Sass
Did they do, like, code words?
Francis
He goes. He goes, yeah. He was like. He was like, all right, so here's what happens. If we have an unruly customer that you want removed or you want us to keep an eye on them, to give them a warning. The first thing you say is if they're talking back to you, Right. You go, boy, this guy really thinks he's part of the show. Which is code for us go over to that guy. Now, if we talk to him and he doesn't hush up and he's bothering you still, you're gonna say again, this guy really, really thinks he's part of the show. And I was like, dude, can I just be like, can we kick that guy out? I don't know if I can remember this mumbo.
Harry
We won't understand that riddle in the.
Francis
Middle of my set. Like, yeah, I have no problem. Usually I just say to the people, I'm like, let's get this guy a water.
Sass
That's what they said to me this weekend.
Francis
Get him out of here.
Sass
They're like, if you need someone to get out, just be like, can we get this guy a water?
Francis
Yeah.
Sass
Which also, though I still. If I actually wanted someone out, I'm still just going to say, can we get this guy out? I'm not going to be like, let's get this guy a water.
Francis
Well, the problem is, have you ever.
Sass
I saw the guy, he would not have been accepting any water. He wanted Modelos. He was only drinking Modelos. That's why I was like, I, I. When you said that, I didn't even know you were talking about. Because it was just like, he was just like a Mexican bro, just having fun.
Harry
Right?
Sass
He wasn't.
Harry
And you wanted him to off color.
Sass
Joke at one point that maybe he shouldn't have made.
Harry
What did he say?
Sass
I have a bit about, like, human trafficking and. And like, the signs in the bathroom. And he said, like, I would. I don't know, I want to give away the entire joke, but he said something about how, like, it would be better if there were. No, he was like. He said something like in. In the, like, pro human trafficking. But I.
Harry
It was.
Sass
I don't think he was being serious.
Harry
Yeah, he's joking.
Sass
At the comedy show, he was blacked out, out of his mind. He's trying to get his own. Get a couple shots on himself, you know?
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
He sees you swishing all these three.
Sass
Wants a couple laughs.
Francis
Yeah. Yeah.
Sass
I don't blame him.
Francis
He's just throwing the home run ball back.
Sass
Yeah, exactly.
Harry
Hit at all. Was his joke funny?
Sass
No. I took the room to a dead silence. It was pretty uncomfortable.
Harry
Oh, poor guy.
Francis
But human trafficking, I say we go even younger.
Sass
Yeah, it was. Yeah, the shows were fun. Solid shows.
Francis
Nice.
Harry
Yeah, I took. I took umbrage with something you did this weekend. Sass and not. So what. How. How deep are we in? It's early for airline stuff, but it's just. We're on Dallas.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah.
Harry
And you said that you had a problem with Delta. Delta sucks ass now because your flight was delayed back into New York City. Every. Everybody's flights were delayed. It was a blizzard. You're like, oh, Delta can't slice through and manipulate the whims of mother Nature. That's not going to happen for any airline that you fly on, dude.
Sass
Yeah, yeah. No, look, I mean, Delta, did they handle yesterday's problems efficiently? Yes. They could have done a better job. There could have been more communication between diamond medallions and the staff.
Francis
But, I mean, I'm so glad you're not Diamond Next year.
Sass
I'm gonna be what I'm gonna be.
Francis
You are?
Sass
I think so.
Francis
No, you're not.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
No way.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
How close? Pull it up right now.
Sass
I'm close. I think I'm like three bands away.
Francis
3,000?
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
You're not.
Harry
Yeah. Well, when are you gonna fly? When are you gonna put three bands on the board?
Sass
I'll fucking. I'll figure it out.
Francis
Yeah, just do a little round trip weekend to Tokyo, Singapore. What do you think?
Sass
Just, like, wait last minute and book my Christmas flights home and spend three bands on them? No, but that'll be like a rack.
Harry
Okay. Where's the other two coming from?
Sass
I got. I got another weekend.
Harry
Where?
Sass
In Arlington.
Harry
When?
Sass
But I think that's actually. I think it's like, January. Yeah.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
You're Also, you're talking about cities that are a 45 minute flight away.
Harry
You're gonna spend 3,000 on a trip to a solo flight to Boston.
Francis
Unless you're paying for some weird experience where you get to bang a stewardess. Those are not far enough flights where first class tickets are gonna get you there.
Sass
Yeah, I'll figure it out. I'll get it. Maybe I'll go to. Maybe I'll go to. Maybe I'll go to Colorado and visit Matt. Go skiing.
Francis
But why are you even trying? You've already disavowed Delta.
Sass
I have.
Harry
Because he knows it's not that bad.
Sass
I mean, it's still bad. It's still bad.
Harry
You just, you just were mad because there was a blizzard and it's like, dude, that's not, that's not Delta's fault. And it was beautiful. I wish you were back for it.
Sass
I mean, look, I don't, I, I don't think I took it. Did I go that hard at Delta?
Harry
But I think so.
Sass
I don't think I did.
Francis
What do you mean? It's been your personal vendetta.
Sass
Oh, no. Well, previously, of course. I'm still fully out on Delta. I despise them. Similar to Ryan Reynolds.
Francis
Just don't understand why one would sprint towards the Delta finish line when they've already decided they're going in a different direction.
Sass
Because I want to do my status match.
Harry
Do you.
Francis
Are you sure that United will match you to the highest status of Delta?
Sass
I think it's either the highest or it's one below.
Francis
They're going to bump you one below.
Sass
I think they might.
Francis
Of course they would do that.
Sass
Yeah. I mean, it's still a pretty solid, solid deal.
Harry
It is not.
Sass
You're jumping to the front of the line. What are you talking about?
Francis
It's crazy.
Harry
Jumping to the middle of the line.
Francis
Yeah. You're jumping to the sort of third. Third or fourth place.
Sass
But how many people do you think have top? Do you think there's some people with more? Do you think there's more diamond medallions or more. Whatever the fuck United has?
Francis
I think it's probably similar.
Sass
Probably whatever.
Francis
Share. Whatever share of their flight market share.
Harry
Yeah, you're just budding. You're being a line cutter and it's like, I would never do that. You would never do that on the highway. Anything. I would never. Line cut. I hope you're listening.
Sass
You're the king of the cut.
Harry
What have I, when have I ever.
Sass
Line cut. I've seen it.
Harry
When?
Sass
Many times.
Harry
That's not true.
Francis
Do you lose your diamond medallion status on Delta? When?
Sass
If you do the status matching, I.
Francis
Believe you have to.
Sass
You have to show proof that you are canceling your account with Delta.
Harry
You're not gonna do that. There's zero percent chance that you do that.
Sass
Yeah, yeah.
Francis
Zero.
Sass
Try me.
Harry
No, I'm trying you right now. This is the bluff call.
Sass
You'll see. I'll come in next week. I'll have the Chase Sapphire card.
Francis
Well, I already have it. And tell you what, man. Damn. It's pretty good.
Sass
Why the do you have that?
Francis
Why not?
Sass
I don't know.
Francis
They'll pay for themselves if you flip all the benefits on and actually are smart about it.
Sass
I finally did the Hertz Gold.
Francis
That's nice.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. That's a nice one.
Sass
Not bad. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I, I walk.
Francis
Out and take a car like you're stealing it.
Sass
It was pretty sick.
Harry
Talk to me. Talk to me. I don't know anything about Hertz Gold. I'm not hurts gold. I'm an enterprise, man.
Francis
Yeah, but if you have this card, you have that.
Harry
Yeah, yeah, talk to me.
Sass
You literally just sign up, you set your reservation and then you go over and you just take a car and there's.
Francis
You don't have to go to the counter. You don't have to go to the counter. You just go take a car, anyone in a line.
Harry
So that saves you the four minutes at the counter.
Sass
Four minutes.
Francis
Sometimes there's, sometimes there can be 20, 20 people.
Sass
I would have been waiting for an hour and a half.
Harry
Really?
Sass
There was like 70 people in line.
Francis
Try going to Orlando. That's. That rental car counter is like, it's like one of those post disaster zones where everyone's trying to find a family member.
Sass
Yeah. And they take, they find they. It's like they send out something on like. Indeed. And they're like, we're looking for the oldest person we can possibly find to run Hertz to just run the desk. No one else will be there helping them. It's going to be one 95 year old lady.
Francis
Do you type three words a minute? Well, we may have a job for you.
Harry
It will always be her first day on the job.
Sass
I don't even get mad at those people. I just feel bad for them because I'm like, who fucked up so bad that you got put in this position that you're just here solo?
Harry
They're all there waiting on waiting. They're waiting for an influencer to come by and give them a gofundme. They're waiting for someone to be like, what happened to you? Yeah, my benefits collapsed after the GM factory went bankrupt. And then you get fast tracked to the front of the line. Did you guys see that guy at Walmart who this happened to?
Francis
Yeah. They made a bunch of money.
Harry
He made $1.8 million.
Francis
It's amazing. From what?
Harry
For me, they made a GoFundMe because they found him because he was working at 88 years old because the GM factory had closed.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
And he lost all of his benefits, his pension.
Sass
Damn.
Harry
Or they went bankrupt or some shit.
Francis
It's an amazing story. Of course, you can't help but wonder, like, maybe if we'd found a guy who was like 78, he might be able to use that money a little longer.
Harry
The happiest person is that guy's next of kin.
Francis
Oh, there you go. That's a nice way to think of it.
Harry
I mean, 88.
Sass
1.8 mil. I'm burning. I'm just gonna fly through that if I'm him.
Harry
You're getting diamond medallion today. Yeah.
Francis
You don't.
Sass
Well, you're buying your own plane.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
You're buying a plane or just do like a net. Jets.
Sass
There's no point. You don't have to buy a plane.
Francis
You don't have to buy a plane.
Sass
But I'm assuming a plane's more than $1.8 million.
Francis
I don't know what they are for a plane. Some are. Some are.
Sass
Imagine it's pretty pricey.
Harry
Oh, you're talking about Drake's jet. I'm talking about the four seater that they all show that family in where they're all reading.
Sass
I don't want the four. I want the fucking. The Boeing you want.
Francis
I think you go middle ground. I think you go G5 or like a hawker 900 or something like that.
Sass
Oh, you're throwing around some ball knowledge there.
Harry
I like that. Very tippy.
Sass
Yeah, that's tippy.
Harry
Very tippy for my brother Francis.
Sass
We in Dallas.
Francis
We.
Sass
We got to go to the optic office. That was cool.
Francis
That is cool.
Sass
It was very cool.
Harry
Is that why you booked Dallas?
Sass
No, no, it was actually. My agent hit me up and was like. It was pretty last minute that I booked Dallas and then it lined up perfectly with all this.
Harry
Coincidence.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Sick. What were those brothers saying?
Sass
Not much. I mean, we.
Harry
They. What do you think was gomp?
Sass
Oh, yeah. Did you link with. I did not see Tooch, unfortunately.
Francis
Do you want to connect with him?
Sass
I've already been talking to him.
Francis
No, you haven't.
Sass
Yes, I have.
Harry
What about connecting, though?
Francis
Are you talking to him on DM or on phone number?
Sass
On dm.
Francis
Okay, I'll give you his phone number.
Sass
He's sending me a controller. He has his own personal scuff.
Francis
I think he's gonna send me one too.
Sass
What would you use that for?
Francis
Have the same thing.
Sass
Chess.
Francis
Have a controller.
Sass
What do you mean you need, you need paddles to play chess?
Francis
The Harvard lacrosse team is sending me a helmet. I don't play anymore. It's nice to have these.
Sass
That is pretty cool trophies.
Francis
These pieces of gratitude.
Harry
We should be putting them in plastic cases and putting them on the wall above us.
Sass
Yeah, my controller will be going home with me.
Harry
I bought you a controller last year and you gave it back to me and charged me for it.
Sass
That is not at all how that went down.
Harry
It is 100%.
Sass
It's not even close to one half. No way.
Harry
No, exactly. What happened?
Sass
That is such a, that is. You're twisting that story like crazy.
Harry
How am I twisting it?
Sass
We, I brought my PlayStation to New Orleans for the super bowl, right? And Ron and I were in an Airbnb together and we were going to play some Madden. We only have one controller, though. So Ron said, just get a new controller. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take it. So I, I, I door dashed us purple Dualsense.
Harry
I said, I'll take it.
Sass
Yes.
Harry
For a video game system I don't have.
Sass
I know. That's why I was surprised.
Harry
No. That you made me take it.
Sass
No, you were like, I have it.
Harry
You made me take it and charge me for it.
Sass
And then you kept on being like, you have it. And I was like, I already have controllers. I don't, I'm not gonna do anything with this. And then you took it. I didn't take it.
Harry
You left before me. And so I just brought it. So it wasn't just left at the Airbnb.
Sass
And what happened was we were originally supposed to go to the super bowl together, Ron and I. I think it was the day prior. He let me know we were not going together. And he had already venmoed me $4,000 for tickets. And I sent back the $4,000 minus 60 for the controller.
Harry
It was not 60 either.
Sass
Yeah, it was.
Harry
It was 90.
Sass
It was 90. Yeah. So I took out the 90 for the controller. I sent him back $3,900. That's not a bad deal.
Harry
Yeah, I just have a controller that I'm gonna. Or I Think I gave it away. I gave it away to someone. I got. I gave it away to a homeless guy that I saw yelling slurs at someone.
Sass
Oh, it better not be true.
Harry
I was like, good, good work here.
Sass
Because I was a good controller.
Harry
I want you to have this controller. He was drunk, but he had no jacket on.
Sass
Just a T shirt and Beats headphones.
Harry
But I. I forgave him.
Francis
That was a good joke.
Sass
T shirt and Beats headphones.
Francis
Are you. Well, I thought maybe for a second you were saying it was the kid that got out.
Sass
That's what Rome was saying of my grip.
Harry
Yes, yes, that's what I was saying. And then Sass stole it. Just like that controller.
Sass
Exactly. Yeah. I just said it a little louder. Yeah, we got to tour their office. It was fucking sick. Their office is actually. It's pretty similar to this office. It's just like if every single corner you looked in had, like, the nicest gaming PC you've ever seen.
Harry
Who's their Dave?
Sass
This dude named Hex.
Harry
And who's their big cat?
Sass
I would say probably Skump.
Francis
Do they have anyone named, like, Brian?
Sass
Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, I don't know what they're like. Scump's real name is Seth. You know, like, I don't know.
Francis
I can see why he went to Skump.
Sass
Well, you know, they got to have their gamer tags, right? You got to have your tags. Can't just be going by, like, Seth.
Francis
But surely, surely there are people who are not. Are there. Are there some managerial people as part of that group for Optic?
Sass
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
Francis
That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
Sass
Roger. Got to meet Roger.
Francis
There you go. There's a Roger.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
We also can't really talk shit because we're the home to Wayne Jet Ski and the Double Vodka and.
Francis
Yeah.
Sass
I'm Lil Sasquatch Roan.
Francis
I'm Francis, though.
Sass
Yeah, yeah, you. I know you wish you had a little bit of a.
Harry
Thank you. Ever consider going with anything?
Francis
Yeah, I thought. I thought for a moment.
Sass
Falcon.
Francis
All right, everybody. I'm getting rid of Falcon. From now on, it's Francis Ellis. I get it. I deserve to be called foul, but.
Harry
I just want you guys to know me. For me, it's been exhausting walking around as the Falcon.
Francis
Yeah, sick and tired, exactly. Of how it sounds.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
But yeah, their office was fucking. It was insane. It was like. It was like. I felt like a kid in the candy shop. I just wanted to touch everything.
Francis
Big screens and crazy technology and. Yeah, major PCs and yes. All the best stuff.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And they're getting all that for free too?
Sass
Some of it, probably.
Francis
No, all of it.
Sass
I don't know about all of it.
Francis
But if really doesn't get free gear from the top companies that make it. Of course they do.
Sass
No, they do, but they don't get all of it. I mean like they, they're their players definitely get like all that shit's provided by the league.

Sass
Dude, this was the craziest thing I've ever experienced. So I'm, I and I told Tyler and Owen this already. It's gonna sound like a complete lie. I walked into this place to get a Red Bull and the dude goes, he goes, this is your first time like coming in. And I turned to the left and there's just like 90 gaming PCs set up. Like I had no idea that's what it was. I just walked in and all of a sudden I'm in fucking heaven. I was like blown away.
Harry
Yeah, yeah.
Sass
And I, and I got like an hour long pass, played some counter strike.
Francis
How early did you get to the airport?
Sass
Well, I got to the airport at 6:50, which was, I'll be honest, it was weird playing counter strike at 6:50am like starting the day that way. So I'm playing counter strike and then we got delayed.
Francis
Simply cannot be the first time that you've started a day playing video games at that early.
Sass
Okay, so I've ended the day playing counter strike at 6:50.
Francis
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah.
Sass
But yeah, I mean I go in, you get a day pass. They've got like, I think they had like 20 PCs and then they had like a shit ton of Xboxes and PlayStation set up. And when I went in, I was the only one there. Actually, no, there was another. There was a dude next to me playing Marvel Rivals and he was pretty sick. I mean, I played for an hour. I was getting ready to leave. The dude comes up to me and he's like, just a heads up your. Your hour's almost up. If you're about to hop in a comp game, feel free to play it out. And I was like, I gotta go catch my flight. And we got delayed four hours. So I came back. Luckily I got my own controller on me. Plug that in. And then I just played COD for like an hour.
Harry
That's amazing.
Sass
It was sick. And I. And when I went back the second time, it was a. There was, it was a vibe, you know, I wasn't the only one there.
Francis
No, there's people who bought like really cheap plane tickets and aren't even taking.
Sass
Yeah, maybe. Honestly, they're just coming because that setup was better than the setup I have in my house.
Unknown
House.
Harry
Why did they choose to do. Have that be their like, discretionary space that they have? You know how like the San Francisco airport has a yoga studio in it or.
Sass
Yeah, I don't know.
Harry
Airport has like a breast milk nursing room or whatever.
Sass
Yeah, yeah.
Francis
There are actually a lot of airports that have that.
Harry
Nursing rooms.
Francis
Yeah, the.
Harry
The office has one.
Francis
I know. Yeah.
Sass
The pump room.
Francis
It's really nice place.
Sass
Yeah, that's where I get a lot of work done in there.
Francis
It's really quiet.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Really private.
Harry
You should set up your console in there.
Sass
I know. Turn it into a streaming room.
Harry
Oh, did you have this booked? Barging in on a mom with a blanket over her chest.
Sass
Dude, when I went in the first time, the dude running. The dude running the show, he had like a scarf all the way around his face, like over covering his nose. And like when I. When I like, got my. When I paid for my hour long pass, he turns the corner, he's got this like gallon jug of hand sanitizer. And he's like, I just want to give you some hand sanitizer. I do want to let you know I did throw up this morning. He's like, I'm thinking it was food related, but I just want to be careful. I don't want anyone getting sick in here. So I cleaned everything. Here's some hand sanitizer. And I was like, I was like, oh, yeah. I was like, all good, dude. No worries. And like I go and I Sit down. And then someone else comes in and I hear him say the exact same thing. He's like, just a heads up, I threw up this morning. I think I had a bad hot dog last night.
Harry
Oh my God.
Francis
Don't come in to the airport. Yeah, yeah. Don't come into the airport to. But then don't tell anyone.
Sass
Don't tell anybody.
Francis
Tell anyone.
Sass
And he was telling everyone as they were walked in.
Francis
How is this guy flying with a gallon jug of hand Tinder?
Sass
This is the guy that worked at the, at the gaming.
Francis
Oh, so he's there for his job.
Harry
So if he doesn't come in, Sass.
Sass
Can'T, I can't game.
Harry
He can't hit the sticks.
Sass
But then I will say I. When I. When I went back to the gate and then we got delayed and I came back to the gaming lounge, he was gone. And there was.
Harry
There was two new people and there was just footprints coated in throw towards the exit.
Sass
I will say when he said it, I got a little uneasy.
Francis
Yeah, of course.
Harry
It's like, oh, well, why would you disclose that?
Sass
I don't want to throw up.
Harry
Why would you ever fucking say that out loud?
Sass
Yeah, but I mean, he, the, the. He didn't even have a. It wasn't like he had a Covid mask on. It was like he had a fucking blanket wrapped around his face.
Harry
That's like so many.
Sass
Nothing was getting through that.
Harry
I had sexual relations with a woman who had AIDS in 1989.
Sass
Just a heads up, I want to let you know I do have herpes. It's contagious.
Harry
We're just. This is our first date. We're not gonna be cool.
Sass
Yeah, I'm gonna go play counter strike for 30 minutes.
Harry
Were you deep throating the controllers over there?
Sass
No, but they did they hook you up with a headset when you walk in and then it's. They have every game downloaded, every game, you name it. They had retro games set up. You could have played fucking Nintendo, could have played Smash, the Melee, whatever, the one we played.
Harry
I wonder how busy it gets in there.
Sass
When I went back after the delay packed, it was a great vibe. Everyone's just gaming of all ages, kids, dads, women. It was a blast.
Harry
Women.
Sass
I know, right? You don't typically see that. You wouldn't expect to see girls at the gaming lounge.
Harry
No, they were there. Trans men.
Sass
Trans men.
Francis
It's like seeing women at this skate park. Cool, but new. Certainly new.
Sass
But yeah, that was pretty cool, you know, and then took on, went. Did the flight Watched the Patriots, watched Bush. Both of them lost. That was tough. That wasn't fun.
Francis
Have we recorded since you. We've recorded since you guys won.
Sass
Since we won the Challengers Cup. Yeah.
Francis
Do you want to talk about TJ or no TJ?
Sass
Our player?
Francis
No TJ.
Harry
DJ Oshi, the hockey player.
Francis
O'. Donnell.
Sass
Yeah. TJ Oshi, phenomenal player.
Harry
Stud.
Sass
Great player on the Blues.
Harry
St. Louis American.
Sass
Yeah. He was on the COVID of NHL. I think he was 14.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
After he beat Russia. Single handedly.
Harry
Yeah, Single handedly beat. Right.
Sass
That was awesome.
Francis
That was pretty sick. Yeah. What? What? Do you want to talk about T.J. or no? Oh no.
Sass
I don't think I can say anything about any of that. Okay.
Unknown
Okay.
Francis
We won't talk about Teege.
Sass
All good.
Francis
What else?
Harry
Which makes it more juicy. Which makes it significantly more juicy. My. My children were the Jesus in the Christmas pageant.
Sass
This I know. I saw.
Harry
That's what I was pretty psyched about. But then I sent you a message about it and you didn't say anything because they were playing at a bigger room than you.
Sass
Is that why they had a big crowd?
Francis
That was sick.
Sass
They outsold me. I mean, how much were their tickets though? Though?
Harry
There it was, I think like 40 pre sale or something like that.
Sass
No way.
Harry
40 pre sale and then 60.
Sass
Did you use game time?
Harry
Of course, but the secondary market was spiking.
Sass
I watched that, that video though of the. Of the handoff. It was pretty funny.
Harry
It was sick. We had. I. I had to take them to the rehearsal for it the day before. Yeah. And it was just me and I was like locked out of the church, like losing my. I couldn't get into the church and like it's down a flight of steps.
Sass
What do you even do in that situation? You're just knocking on the door.
Harry
Yeah, there's an elevator. The elevator was broken, so I had to like find where the priest lived and like hit their ring camera and be like, let me into the fucking church.
Sass
That's crazy.
Harry
Should be working. And it wasn't working at all. But I fucking single dad duded it. And then for the actual performance, one of them got to be the Jesus and then they swapped it and brought it back around. And the other one got to be Jesus.
Sass
That's pretty sick.
Unknown
Sick.
Harry
It was.
Sass
They both got to be Jesus. Was that intentional? Like, do they seek people out with twins or was that.
Harry
No, this is the first year they ever had twins. This lady's been doing it since before 9, 11.
Sass
Did you guys seek that Are you a member of this?
Francis
What they say is that per SAG rules, you can only have a baby on set live for three hours or something like that.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And so they.
Harry
It was a Mary Kate and Ashley situation.
Francis
Yeah. West timed out.
Unknown
Out.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And then they brought in tagged and Finn.
Harry
Yeah. So Finn came through, but he.
Sass
Any crying?
Harry
No, no. One of them did explosively themselves, seconds beforehand, really. But we had the NASCAR pit crew change them. It was sick. The poor little girl that was playing Mary was the same. Wes is bigger than. It was like, a little bigger than Finn. She was like, the same size as Wes, and she was just shaking, dude.
Francis
I saw that.
Sass
When I saw the handoff, I was like, that baby, like, she looks like she's struggling.
Harry
Yeah, the girl's like a sixth grader. Even in the rehearsal, I was like, you need me to take him for a second? She was like, yeah. She was terrified. It's a sick, sick dad moment, though. I was fired the up.
Sass
It's every dad's dream to see their child be Jesus.
Harry
Every dude. It's incredible. It's their first crack at being able to, like, they're on track for, like, Academy Awards right now. That's the first milestone.
Sass
Well, you got to get them to, like, the mall. Bring them to, like, that new. The New Jersey mall. Get them start getting some scouting going, you know.
Harry
Oh, yeah. Just so you them be seen.
Sass
Yeah. It's all about just getting their faces out there.
Francis
You have a pretty short window of them being baby Jesus, but you could do the boyhood thing where you film them through their life in a movie based on Jesus.
Harry
And for the first. Because between 12 and 33, Jesus kind of disappeared.
Francis
Yeah, people don't really talk about that, period. I think he was thinking basketball for a while.
Sass
Well, he got in, like, a motorcycle accident up in Woodstock.
Francis
That's what he went.
Sass
And he. Yeah, he wrote everything by hand. New Testament.
Francis
People debate whether it even happened.
Sass
But just for Mumford and Sons to come discover it years later, for Elvis.
Harry
Costello to rewrite all the New Testament books. But, yeah, I think, like, getting some. Some stuff on paper, learn. Teaching them Aramaic. There's like, you know, there's like a Fox News.
Sass
Teaching them what?
Harry
Aramaic. That's the language of Jesus, brother.
Sass
Really?
Harry
What did you think?
Sass
You guys are throwing out some deep knowledge today. I feel like I.
Harry
What do you think? Did you ever watch the Passion of the Christ?
Sass
No. And I know it's really good, but I haven't seen it.
Harry
It is not that good.
Sass
No, it isn't.
Harry
No.
Sass
I thought. I feel like we had this conversation on the podcast.
Harry
I know. And since then I watched it. No, I watched it and it was boring.
Francis
Is it really not good? I never saw it. It made such a stir.
Harry
Yeah, well, it's like it came right after or right before he, Mel Gibson did Apocalypto. And everybody's like, it's probably like a pot. And it was nothing like good.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Apocalypto's top 10.
Francis
I never saw that.
Harry
That's amazing thing.
Francis
I've only seen that one scene from Apocalypto where the. They have the Indians run away. The whole movie's running and they're like, they're running for their lives. It's like go. And then they throw something at them or like chase them down somehow.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
What do they shoot lacrosse ball at them?
Harry
They basically are in like an obstacle course. It's basically like an episode of Chris Clemmer's Rat Race. And then they're just like throwing. Yeah, they're shooting arrows at them. And then there's a guy at the end who's a finisher who just has a club to kill them.
Francis
Cool.
Harry
But then one dude breaks contain. He hits him with a little Jameer Gibbs.
Unknown
Yeah.
Sass
Yeah. Lets the jacket on and gets away.
Harry
And so then the, the. All the, the Native Americans. Native. Central Americans, Mayans, they chase him through the.
Francis
The jungle and catch him.
Harry
Well, you'll have to watch that.
Francis
I'm glad you. Wow. I'm in.
Harry
It's amazing.
Francis
Apocalyptic.
Harry
It's actually one of the best movies of all time. But people try, they connect that you've never seen it either.
Sass
Now what?
Harry
It's. It's one of the best action movies ever. Holy. Especially if you're a little bit fried.
Francis
Should we watch it together, Harry? That's perfect. Should we watch it together? You want to watch it together? We'll smoke your bass first and then we will watch Apocalypse.
Sass
Smoke my bass.
Francis
Smoke your bass.
Sass
Smoked tuna. Tuna, yeah.
Harry
Smoked bass. Smoked. We'll smoke your salmon.
Sass
Smoked salmon, I guess. Smoked tuna.
Harry
I smoked smoked bass and watched an Apocalypto. Yeah, we should do a watch along of apocalyptic. Yeah, it's a incredible film.
Sass
Yeah, we'll watch apocalyptic. Like it's like the gambling cave. You won't be able to see or hear the movie. It'll see us watch it.
Harry
But if we set up the right timestamp for it.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah. All right, everybody start now.
Francis
Three, two, one. No, sorry. Two, one on go.
Harry
Before I was a Delta one. Man. That would be a joy of. Of flying on the airplane. When you're sitting next to somebody and you start the movie at the same time.
Francis
Yeah, yeah.
Harry
Oh, yeah, of course. Watch it.
Sass
Of course.
Harry
But you can't pause it. No one can get up to pee. No one can do anything.
Sass
I don't even turn my. Now that I got the. Now that I've got my raw Gallup. By which I will say shout out. I, I, I got a tip. Delta here. I got to.
Harry
The Internet's great.
Sass
I know it goes against what I said, the Internet on the flight yesterday. Phenomenal.
Harry
You were doing, like, five different things.
Sass
I was blown away. I had multi. I had multiple screens up, streaming live at the same time.
Francis
Wow.
Sass
On the plane.
Harry
And you were streaming football.
Sass
And in seven, 20.
Harry
And yeah, no lag.
Sass
No lag. It was shot. I was like, I've never experienced this. It was like, oh, I needed it. I needed that win.
Harry
So you think that United's gonna have that, bro?
Sass
Of course.
Harry
United, they're gonna. It's gonna be passed down like oral tradition.
Sass
I think they have Ethernet on United.
Harry
No, they're gonna do whisper down the lane.
Francis
If they turn on the 720p Wi Fi on a United flight, the pilots cannot communicate with the ground.
Sass
Yeah, you can only go 20p wifi.
Francis
It means that they have to. It means they have. It's choosing one or the other.
Sass
720P is the resolution of the screen.
Francis
Okay, cool.
Sass
It's like how clear it is. It's like 4K.
Francis
Oh, cool.
Harry
You know what?
Sass
4K. It's like the same thing. It's like 1080p.
Francis
This is great. Great.
Sass
I've never heard someone say 720p Wi Fi.
Francis
I mean, you just said it yourself.
Sass
Yesterday, we recorded one of our owner's meetings for Bush, and Jerry was talking about how he wants a PC because he said that he can't stream off of his Mac.
Harry
It's not good enough.
Sass
And I was like, giving. I. I think I explained for, like, 15 minutes, like, all the parts and everything. And then he was like. He's like, no sets. I'm just looking for something I can just plug into the wall. It's like, oh. He was like, you're talking about building. He was like, I'm not building anything. He's like, I just needed to plug in and play. And I was like, I guess I feel that that's.
Harry
That's what I would want to.
Sass
Now you gotta build. Nah, the building is the best part. You think it's the games. It's the build.
Harry
That's how I could know I'm just forever unked out.
Sass
No, you would love it.
Harry
No, I'm not building. Not like a nephew like you.
Sass
I could.
Francis
I'll build.
Sass
I want to build a PC for somebody else, so someone just needs to give me.
Harry
Why you just build one for Jerry? He's in your crew.
Sass
Because the problem is then I would have to get it to Jerry. Like, it would be easier if it was someone in New York where I could just hand deliver it.
Harry
So would you build one for me?
Sass
I would build one for you. You would have to pay for all the parts, though.
Harry
I would. I would get it as a gift for Francis.
Francis
I'll charge you for it on Venmo.
Harry
Circle of life.
Francis
Yeah, dude. So I went to. First of all, I had four steak meals last week.
Unknown
Damn.
Sass
Were you puking?
Francis
I didn't feel great.
Sass
Yeah, I didn't feel great.
Harry
Now tell me this. Did it make you harder overnight?
Unknown
Right.
Harry
Because if I have four stakes, I. I can't put down my boner.
Francis
I don't. Yeah, I was pretty hard.
Harry
Respect.
Francis
I had some hard ones.
Sass
That's solid.
Francis
Yeah, they were pretty hard.
Sass
Love to hear my boys are still getting hard.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Still.
Francis
Yeah. But the last one I went to was I was filling in for someone that dropped out on a Saturday. It was actually my buddy Dustin and his. All of his buddies from Shout Out. Dustin College. You guys will meet Dustin in our video. Is that okay?
Harry
Yeah, of course.
Francis
That video putting out next week of our steak meal. So anyway, he told me to come, and I came, and they. He had sent me, like, their original calendar invite, but then they had moved the meal half an hour later without telling me.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
So I got there, like, 10 minutes late for that original one, and I walked in and I was like, hi, I'm here to see the group under Dustin's name. And they thought I said Justin. And they were like. And they were like, who is it? And I'm. I'm like, it's probably a huge group of dudes. They were like, oh, yeah. Right this way. They led me into this super crowded restaurant. Strip house.
Sass
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Francis
It's really dark.
Sass
I love that place.
Francis
Really crowded, but fun. Loud. Super loud. When you can barely move between the tables.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And they bring me to a table of 12 dudes.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And I'm looking around the group being like, where's the one Asian guy that I'm friends with? And I don't see him. And as I'm looking, every single one of these guys looks up at me and it's like, Francis. Yeah, Francis, join us, Join us.
Harry
And you had to convince the woman that you didn't know that all these guys who knew you, the matre d.
Francis
Woman was like, okay, perfect.
Sass
Yeah, yeah, you're welcome.
Francis
This is your group. And I was like, no, this is not my group. I don't think.
Harry
No, they all know you. What? It's your group. What do you mean?
Francis
And they were like telling me to join them and sit down. And I didn't know where my group was, dude.
Sass
I would be having like hot flashes that was happening.
Francis
Mayhem, dude.
Harry
Like a memento.
Francis
A very, like a weird situation to navigate. They're like pouring me a drink. Someone else's drink. Like, here we go. And I'm like, ah. And I just had to go outside. Yeah, I just had to go back outside and start over. At which point I texted my buddy and was like, oh, we moved it. And then they came like 10 minutes later.
Harry
That's so funny. That's ridiculous. Of course. Like, what are you going to go up to a group of $12? Dude, 12 steak dudes that don't know you. Any group of steak eaters are like in the United States, if there's a group of 12, eight of them at least are going to know you.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
I would say of steaky steak aged.
Francis
Men, I would say steak eaters are our number one demographic.
Harry
Steak eaters. Golf. Golf players.
Sass
Man, I gotta that, that place is good. Yeah, they got a good steak.
Francis
They got a good steak.
Harry
When were you there? What were you there for?
Sass
I've been there a few times.
Harry
Really?
Francis
Oh, yeah.
Sass
We did three porterhouses, some for professional, some for personal.
Francis
Personal.
Harry
Business and pleasure.
Francis
We went, we went three porter homes for three for eight guys and it was too much.
Sass
Yeah, that's all. I mean, that's a lot of food. Yeah.
Harry
Well, what was your app situation?
Francis
Oh, man. What wasn't it?
Sass
You get the sprouts?
Francis
We. I didn't. Someone ran point on the whole order and did a good job. See, I knew you would be a guy who would hate that.
Sass
I don't like when someone's running point.
Unknown
Point.
Harry
That's how it works though.
Francis
Eight people. What, what are you gonna do? You can't keep track of all the apps that someone needs to allocate for the whole table at that point.
Sass
I get it. For apps that, that makes total sense. For, for entrees. I like to be in control.
Francis
Yeah, but, but you're getting a steak, right?
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
And the porterhouse answers every question. You've got filet and strip.
Sass
Yeah, that's true.
Francis
That's just huge portions of it. It's perfect.
Sass
Yeah, I'm a strip guy. I'm not a filet guy.
Francis
So you take the. Presumably the right side of the bone.
Sass
Yeah, but then what if someone else wants the right side of the bone?
Francis
There's plenty to go through, I guess.
Sass
You guys didn't even finish it all. Was there more strip or was there more filet?
Francis
There's no more for you to find wrong with this.
Sass
Dude, I thought that place was a strip club. For the first four years I lived in New York.
Francis
Strip house.
Sass
Yeah. I. Every time I would walk by it, I would be like, that's crazy. That people are. I would see, like businessmen going in and I'd be like, that's crazy.
Harry
Shameless.
Sass
Yeah. Close to the stand. I used to have to walk by. Walk. When I would walk from my apartment, I would have to walk by it to get to the stand.
Francis
Now this, the. The strip clubs in New York are all located in. To your point, more sort of camp, whatever. Discreet places.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Right. So Larry Flynn's hustler club is on the west side highway up in like the 50s.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah.
Francis
There's one in Tribeca, I think it's called Flash Dancers. It's on a pretty discreet.
Harry
You have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of where I've been. Exactly where all these are.
Francis
I've been to Flash Dancers. I've never been to the one on the west side Highway. But you drive by it.
Sass
I've driven by that one big billboard.
Francis
Every time you're leaving the city.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
What's the place? Something Gardens. That's like around here.
Francis
West Gardens.
Harry
Is it a hand job place or something?
Francis
It is a happy ending sort of. Yeah. Massage parlor. But it's like.
Sass
Like your knowledge runs deep.
Harry
He's a true ball knower.
Francis
I'm a. I'm a pervert. What do you want me to say?
Harry
Look at the jacket.
Francis
You guys aren't perverts. Hello.
Harry
Look at the collar up. Popped up on the jacket. Just peering over the top of the jacket.
Francis
By the way, I bought this drunk on an app called Grailed.
Sass
Oh, yeah.
Francis
And it was up. I found it pretty cheap. Yeah. Pretty stoked about it. And I just put out a bid and like, got it. Got accepted immediately, which made me realize I had bid way too high. And I was like, oh, this has been. This guy's been waiting for me. Yeah. But here's what. Something bothered me. It said the condition new with tags. It came. There were no tags.
Sass
But it looks brand.
Francis
It does look brand new. But there's something about having tags on it, especially when you're expecting tags. Yeah, I wanted some tags.
Sass
You're also wondering, is it real?
Francis
Well, they authenticate. They authenticate also. By the way, if it isn't, then it's a good. Just don't tell me.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Let me live in ignorance of the fraud fraudulent.
Sass
I have to get a closer look at the stitching.
Francis
Pretty nice.
Sass
When you, when you smack it, are you hearing more of a hollow sound?
Harry
Is it a watermelon or when you.
Francis
Smell it, are you getting. Are you getting apple orchard or are you getting bazooka bubblegum?
Harry
You guys think that you could see if you looked at a bag, do you think you could tell which bag was made by Louis Vuitton and which one was bought off of the sidewalk on canal?
Francis
Only. Only if it was a horrible fake and the logos were upside down.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah. But if it's like a solid fake. No shot.
Francis
No shot, dude.
Sass
The length of those people go to be able to tell like what's real. It like I made like I said the stitching like that is what they do. They put it under a microscope.
Harry
Why would a woman who's a consumer of like bags and stuff, why would she learn the difference if not to just like embarrass her friends? You know what I mean? Like what merit does that whole. I get why the resale shoe guys learn because they want to know what's a fake and what's not. But like why would any woman learn that that skill set do.
Francis
Do a lot I know there learn it.
Harry
I don't know. I think that people are like self conscious about a fake or if someone's like in your bags fake or some like that like talking on somebody like how would you know that? Or what would you. What would you learn to be able to tell that.
Francis
That I've heard that. That the fake market has become cool and that especially like your people. Gen Z.
Harry
Jesus Christ.
Francis
No, I wouldn't. I would not have.
Harry
You know. God damn, Gen Z, you said it. You said it before. Yeah.
Francis
Thank God Gen Z has totally embraced buying knockoffs.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Because it's like you have to decide between like a mew Mew bag or a house.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Living with your parents for another three years.
Unknown
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
I bought a bunch of fake when I was in Morocco and I love it. I rock it all the time I have fake Hermes sandals that were like 80 bucks. They look perfect.
Sass
Yeah, I mean, if you can get. If you can get the good fakes. I mean, I don't see why you wouldn't.
Francis
Maybe they were 60 bucks. I don't even remember. They weren't.
Harry
If it's a good fake. And how can anybody tell what anything is?
Sass
You know, I used to flip on, grailed, believe it or not.
Francis
Did you really?
Sass
Oh, yeah. Back when I was hungry, angry.
Francis
What were you. What were you flipping on there? Clothes. What?
Sass
I did it, like, three times. I think I've talked about this before. I bought, like. Yeah, I bought like, three. There was a streetwear brand called FTP and I brought. I bought sunglasses. Remember when those, like, Kurt Cobain sunglasses were going, like, viral? Like, everyone was wearing them. It was, like, big in street wear. White ones.
Francis
No, man.
Sass
You know what I'm talking about.
Harry
I do.
Francis
You've given me enough that I would know and I don't.
Sass
So move on, because I know them. I know you know, but it's all right.
Francis
I don't know.
Sass
You would know him if you saw.
Francis
There are holes in my knowledge.
Sass
You would know if you saw.
Francis
That might have been a period of my life when I was, you know, reading.
Sass
Yeah, could have been. But I got those FTP, flipped them for, like. For, like, made like, 200 bones.
Francis
Nice.
Sass
And then I got a jacket that I made a lot off of.
Francis
How much?
Sass
But I had to spend a good amount, too. Well, I forget how much I made, but I know I made a lot. And then I bought a sweatshirt that never sold.
Francis
And you still have it?
Sass
It's somewhere. But it doesn't. Never even fit me. Me.
Francis
You never worn it?
Sass
I'm not, like, a big fan of the brand.
Francis
What's FTP anyway?
Sass
The population.
Francis
Okay. Or is it loud and sort of.
Sass
Yeah, like, the. Like, some of their stuff is cool, but, like, the one that. The sweatshirt that didn't sell. I mean, there was a reason it didn't sell.
Francis
What? Why?
Sass
It was an ugly sweatshirt.
Francis
Why did you. How did you get all these things?
Sass
I just knew when the drop was coming. I. And I bought them online. Yeah. Before they sold them out.
Francis
Wow. I used to sell sneakers. In fact, I still have a ton of sneakers. I need to sell all of them. Are they, like, good? Yes.
Sass
And they're older now, too.
Francis
They're.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
I have some super elite Jordans.
Sass
Tell me you got them in Saran Wrap.
Francis
No, I've worn. I've worn them all, but, like, A lot of them are fine. They're all whatever size 12.
Sass
They're not vacuum sealed.
Francis
If anyone is interested in buying some really, really sick Jordans, a very steep discount.
Harry
You're going to take those out of the box and they're going to crumble like the Wiley Coyote after a blast.
Francis
You're going to touch them. It's going to be incredibly. I think that. And maybe this is a complete farce, but because I wore them, they're a little more sturdy.
Sass
Mmm.
Harry
Because you put a little crease in them.
Francis
Well, they've.
Sass
They're crease.
Francis
They've been. Yeah, they're. Yeah, they're creased to shit.
Harry
You decrease their value.
Francis
No, well, I'm sure. I'm sure, sure. But, you know, I have like the.
Sass
It's got to be tough trying to flip shoes.
Francis
White original Chicago Jordan from the 10 collection. Those are so crazy.
Sass
It's got to be tough trying to flip shoes when you have a size like 14 shoe. You're just hoping someone in the NBA buys them.
Francis
These are 12s. Everything I have is a 12. Although I have one 13, which is the. The presto from the 10. Those are sick.
Harry
I'm hoping to sell these Jordans back to Michael Jordan.
Francis
Are the Sean Witherspoon Air Maxes. Seriously, I'm just saying this. If anyone out there, if anyone's looking.
Sass
To buy a pair of size 9 Sambas, let's get rid of them fakes, too.
Francis
You still had those since Cleveland, and you bought them and you're like, this isn't the color I wanted. I hate these.
Sass
Yeah, but they're fine with pants, I think.
Francis
No, they're great. And what I want to do is I want to buy you the white ones that you always wanted.
Sass
Oh, no, I don't want them. These. These make my feet look like I have little children feet.
Harry
Black shoes always do that to me, too.
Sass
Like, I have those.
Harry
I look like.
Sass
It looks like I have ballet shoes on.
Harry
I look like I hooves when I wear black feet shoes.
Sass
Like, I was like. I was like fucking cracking them open this morning getting them ready.
Francis
What's a pair of shoes that would make your feet look bigger?
Sass
My Stan Smiths.
Francis
Okay, so you want Stan Smith. I mean, I have them, but you need a new pair, right?
Sass
No, I just bought them.
Francis
Oh, you did?
Sass
Like, yeah, like less than a year ago.
Harry
No, you could probably use a new pair. Plus, they'll just appreciate in value I've always wanted.
Francis
I almost bought you a pair of white sambas in Morocco that were Fake.
Sass
Oh, no, no.
Francis
Did I tell you that?
Sass
No, you didn't.
Francis
I went into the store.
Sass
Oh, no, you did, I think, actually.
Francis
And the guy, I was. The guy was like, what size? And I was like, he wears a nine. He's like, we don't have anything that small.
Sass
Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. It's unfortunate, but we just have to.
Harry
Go back to Morocco then for that. For that purpose. Yeah. Francis has been kicking me Boku content ideas.
Sass
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah.
Sass
Like what?
Harry
We're gonna do them to you at some point.
Francis
I'm in the. I'm in the cat kitchen.
Sass
Yeah, you're cooking, chef.
Francis
Cooking with the knife, chef. Curry with the pot, boy. 360 with the wrist, boy. Who the. You think this is, boy?
Sass
What are the ideas?
Harry
Do you want to say them or you shouldn't even say?
Francis
Yeah, we can say them. Well, you and I are going to go golfing with Trent and Frankie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's happening.
Sass
Yeah, I'm definitely down in January.
Francis
Yes, in January.
Sass
That might be tight for me.
Francis
No, it's not gonna.
Sass
February could be good.
Harry
On whose channel, though?
Francis
Well, you can collaborate now. You can do. We could do across.
Harry
Yeah, but whose channel is it gonna be on?
Francis
It's probably gonna be on Foreplay, but, you know, it's their producers and like their infrastructure.
Sass
Yeah, but maybe we could do.
Francis
Maybe we could do a couple videos. One on theirs, one on ours.
Sass
Yeah, I think.
Francis
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Sass
Like, they get the warm ups at the range and stuff and then we get the actual match.
Francis
Yeah, there you go. No, we'll do. We'll do a couple different videos. I also said we go to Florida, we do golf and fishing.
Sass
Oh, yeah, that.
Francis
We'll get out on a boat charter and do some hunt. The bonita.
Sass
Yeah, that would be sick. We could go bone fishing in Florida.
Francis
No, let's do bonita.
Sass
Or we could go bonita.
Francis
Yeah, let's go bonita.
Sass
Redfish too. Actually, I don't know if there are redfish in Florida.
Francis
Red snapper.
Sass
Red snapper and grouper.
Francis
Grouper's fun to catch.
Sass
You've caught grouper?
Francis
Oh, yeah.
Sass
Jesus.
Francis
Go out with a harpoon.
Sass
Yeah, yeah. I don't even know if I would want to catch one of those.
Francis
Oh, it's delicious though.
Sass
You ate one?
Francis
Yeah, man.
Sass
Really?
Harry
You're talking about the Goliath grouper that like, YP caught in that one video?
Sass
They get huge.
Francis
Yeah, grouper's good.
Sass
How long did it take you to reel in three days.
Francis
No, man, they don't. They're, like, slow and old.
Sass
They're so big.
Francis
Yeah. But they don't fight the way a tuna does or marlin or something.
Sass
Definitely not, but they are. Those are the ones that I think if you really. When you release them, I think you gotta, like, pop a hole in the side of them for the air. Yeah, yeah.
Harry
I think that's cows.
Francis
That is cows. That's a cow's lying down on its side. That's a groaning.
Harry
Yeah. If you catch a.
Sass
That's one of my first. That was one of my most memorable, being wrong about some things on the paw on the pod. When I said that the cows have the holes in the side of them.
Unknown
Them.
Sass
I don't even know if you were on the show when we did this.
Harry
This was. This was week one.
Sass
Yeah. I thought that. Well, have you ever seen when the cows have the holes in the side of them?
Francis
No, but can I be honest with you really quick?
Sass
There isn't any.
Francis
Yeah. I think you're thinking of, like, a.
Sass
Spine, because it doesn't exist. Yeah.
Francis
I have never fished for grouper, and I just made a decision to. To live the way you do for a second, which. To speak on something with complete authority.
Sass
You were. Honestly, I think you weren't that awful.
Unknown
Off.
Francis
Well, I don't know.
Sass
I think you were pretty spot on about the. They don't. I mean, they definitely don't fight like a tuna would fight.
Francis
No. They have them down there, though. Grouper in Florida, where. Where we would be going.
Sass
Yeah, Yeah. I would assume.
Francis
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then. Do you want to share our idea?
Harry
Well, you had, like, four ideas, man.
Francis
I'm in the. I'm Chef Curry with the shot boy, 360 with the rest. Boy, that's it. That's me.
Harry
That really is.
Francis
What was the.
Sass
What was your other idea? My. I got an idea. We go to the Dallas airport and we. We do a.
Francis
We host hand sanitizer.
Sass
Yeah. We host a tournament from the. From the gaming lounge.
Francis
That's pretty fun.
Harry
What terminal is it in? I think c. Perfect.
Sass
I don't remember what.
Harry
What airline do it to buy tickets on.
Sass
I think, actually, I think you could do a lot of them, dude.
Francis
You know what I've learned is that, you know, a city is a big city when they have two real airports.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Dallas has two real airports.
Sass
What do they have? DFW and what?
Francis
And then the one that Bush. Or is that Houston?
Sass
I don't know.
Francis
Love, love, love. Airport is what it's called.
Sass
Called not familiar.
Francis
That's. Hold on, I'll look where it is. People love Love. Airport.
Sass
Dallas Addison had an airport, and I looked and it was all private.
Harry
Love was the name.
Francis
Love Field.
Harry
Love Field. That was the name. Love was the name of Diddy's album. It's a love album. That's what you're thinking of, baby. I finally finished that doc. What, you think a B probably did it?
Francis
Ye.
Harry
Probably did at least one of the.
Francis
One of the things I've been watching a lot of it. I mean, first of all, great recommendation.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
It's spectacular.
Sass
It's good. It's good.
Harry
I hate to say it, but, yeah, he probably did it.
Sass
It's getting harder and harder to. To defend him, you know?
Francis
Doesn't seem great.
Sass
No, but they just. Yeah. Isn't the basketball thing insane when he.
Francis
Organized the game and nine people died.
Sass
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Francis
And it's what made him famous.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
I don't. I still don't really understand that.
Sass
I think he just used the publicity from that and, like, projected himself into the fucking spotlight.
Francis
How do you. But how do you make yourself famous from that rather than infamous?
Sass
I think back then, people didn't really care as much.
Francis
Really.
Harry
It was like when. When it was like the Oregon Trail where you had, like, nine kids and, like, if, like, six of them made it. You did a really good job.
Francis
Yeah, I see.
Sass
You know, but people weren't, like, getting, like, candid. It wasn't like.
Francis
I know. Barely.
Harry
But I do know we weren't getting canceled. The Woke Mind virus hadn't hit land yet.
Sass
We hadn't been infected at that time.
Harry
Thank God. It was a freeing and fucking beautiful time.
Sass
They're saying the Epstein files come out on Friday. Big release.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
They're doing it at the Supreme Store. People are lined up for the. For the release.
Francis
He's gonna flip them on grail.
Sass
How many times can they say the Epstein files are going to be released when there's just nothing changes or comes out just everywhere? It feels like it's like once a month. They're like. And the Epstein files are coming out on Wednesday. And it comes out. It's just a bunch of black lines.
Harry
Who gets to do that? Who gets to edit their Trump?
Sass
He has gone through Magic Markers with a Sharpie and just.
Francis
Don'T love the.
Unknown
That.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
Don't love that. Did you guys do all your Christmas shopping?
Harry
No, I'm just about finished. I did the last. Actually. I have one more wave, but I'm almost all My presents are wrapped already.
Sass
Damn.
Francis
Can I say something that has. I'm a little troubled by dudes. You say so. You know, my sister now has three kids and a husband.
Sass
That's a lot of gifts.
Francis
I mean, I. It is. And I'm not getting a gift from each kid.
Unknown
Kid.
Francis
So what the. Is this one way street? Why am I.
Sass
How old are the kids?
Francis
You know how much money I've had to spend.
Sass
Yeah.
Francis
On these. On these kids.
Sass
How. How old are they?
Francis
1, 3 and 5.
Sass
No, so you don't have to like, go crazy.
Francis
I mean, I still got them. I spent like 120 bucks on each kid. Not the baby. The baby's not getting. No, no, because it doesn't even remember yet what I'm getting.
Sass
Yeah. What about the five year old? Would you. The five year old?
Francis
The same thing. I got the three year old because I had a good present for the three year old and it was made clear to me that if I presented that to the three year old, the five year old would be jealous. And I said, I don't even think the 5 year old wants this. What is. The sister was like, she probably doesn't, but let's just be careful. What's the gift? A personalized golf bag. Oh, like for a kid. Yeah, but I have their names on each.
Sass
Oh, that's sick.
Francis
They're both getting into golf.
Sass
The.
Francis
The. My nephew's gonna be on tour, and everybody says that, but it's like, I've never seen a kid in my life be this coordinated at that young of an age.
Sass
Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty sick. How can we make. How can we make money off.
Harry
You have to get a piece of the pie. You have to figure out.
Francis
Now, famously, Rory's dad bet on him to win the Open at some point. I've still never understood how he was able to do that. He bet. He took like a future bet, futures bet on his son would win the Open before he turned 40 or something like that.
Harry
Oh, yeah. Let's bet on this kid. Let's bet on this kid now. Let's get on Kalashi call she. Yeah, let's get on the call sheet.
Francis
On the call sheet.
Sass
That shit is insane.
Harry
Insane.
Francis
So, yeah, so, you know, I'm buying presents for five.
Harry
Well, this is a conversation you have to have with yourself sister and just like, set the. Expect what? You should send her her list and you should kind of be like, send her your list. Be like, pick. Pick five of these 10 things.
Francis
Well, it's that. Oh, that's A very good point. Or I need to just immediately have like three kids myself.
Harry
Then you don't get anything.
Sass
You got to show up with your own three on Christmas.
Harry
Yeah, I adopted your kids.
Sass
Yeah, I got a. I. Me and my siblings are. We're doing no gifts this year year.
Harry
Which sucks.
Sass
It's not. It doesn't.
Harry
No, it does. I'm. I'm doing the same thing with some in laws as well. And we're doing no gifts with them.
Sass
It sucks, but it's also like. It does it.
Francis
Why are you doing no gifts?
Sass
Because none of us need anything.
Francis
What? That's not what the purpose of a gift is. You give someone something they need when they're like in trouble.
Sass
Yeah, but it's kind of just like a gift.
Francis
That's a lifeline.
Harry
It's a bailout.
Sass
We all made the mutual decision to just not the.
Harry
This year it's picking.
Sass
No one wants to spend the money.
Harry
It's picking the laziness.
Sass
I mean, we're still going to get gifts for like our parents and stuff.
Francis
You said that you love. You're a really good gift.
Sass
I don't need my like 17 year old sister to buy me something.
Francis
Dude, I've gotten you like 50 gifts over the last three weeks.
Sass
Yeah, but I.
Francis
And you've gotten me nothing. You know what, just so we're clear, this podcast, this is not a no gift podcast. That is not. Not our policy.
Harry
We don't. We haven't come to that agreement.
Sass
Yeah, well, we'll see.
Francis
We better see. You're running out of time. Tomorrow is the last pod that we're recording before break.
Sass
Well, my. I wouldn't be expecting anything tomorrow.
Francis
There's a store in Brooklyn that I really like.

Sass

Francis

Sass

Francis

Harry

Sass

Francis

Sass
That's all right. That's out of the budget.
Francis

Harry
A King Solomon. You really want this bass? Who's the true owner of this largemouth bass?
Sass
It's gonna repaint over it with crayon.
Francis
I like that. I'll take that with crown.
Sass
I did get you assigned a book, though. I think you're gonna like it.
Francis
Come on.
Harry
I doubt that. That who's even in your orbit that can write, much less signed books.
Francis
All my favorite authors are dead.
Sass
That's what you thought.
Francis
No, they are.
Sass
That's what you thought.
Harry
Oh, get a Mulaney's book.
Sass
An ancient Hemingway autograph.
Francis
Well, that would be cool.
Sass
Yeah. That would cost probably a million dollars.
Francis
I don't know. You'd be surprised. There's little things that aren't as much.
Sass
I don't know. I tried to buy my dad like. Like, cool, like, Bob Dylan memorabilia last year, and it was like. Like, I was like. Yeah, that's not. Not even in the question. It's like $5,000 for, like, a ticket stub.
Unknown
Yeah.
Harry
Didn't Hemingway famously sign one of Hitler's teacups or something like that that you could get him?
Sass
No, that was Tom Segura.
Harry
Okay, got it. Yeah, I knew it was something like that. I knew it was something along those lines. All right, all right. All right. Okay.
Sass
Solid episode.
Harry

Hosts: Lil Sasquatch (Sass), Rone (known here as Harry), Francis, special mentions of others
Theme: Navigating adulthood, the yearning for heroism, travel stories, stand-up life, gaming, and humorous life mishaps—all in the style of loose, self-deprecating, irreverent banter.
In this laid-back yet rapid-fire episode, Lil Sasquatch reflects on his recent college dropout status, asking his crew and producer Rone to help fill in the “gaps” in his education—namely, how to become a man and navigate adulthood. Interspersed are stories about failed heroics, comedy club mishaps, airport adventures, material possessions, and casual digs at one another’s personalities. The episode title, "Apocalypto," is a recurring punchline, referencing both Mel Gibson’s brutal action film and the general chaos of modern life.

[73:57-77:23]
On heroism fantasy:
“My undying fantasy...I wake up from dreams and feel good that I have done something like that, only to realize I haven’t. And therefore I can’t die yet.”
— Francis [13:05]
On Ryan Reynolds:
“Ryan Reynolds might be my least favorite person walking the planet. He seems like the worst person to sit down and have a conversation with.”
— Sass [08:15]
On adulting:
“You went the opposite route from the glitzy, glamorous billionaire playboy...You’re really throwing people—the real antihero.”
— Francis [07:25]
On streaming at airports:
“That setup was better than the setup I have in my house.”
— Sass [46:19]
On gifting justice:
“I’ve gotten you like 50 gifts in the last three weeks and you’ve gotten me nothing.”
— Francis [84:02]
On fakes and the modern market:
“The fake market has become cool and Gen Z has totally embraced buying knockoffs.”
— Francis [69:06]
Expect a mix of absurdity and candidness: stories oscillate between “big life lessons” (or lack thereof), jokes about masculinity, and the minutiae of travel and gaming. If you’re new, you’ll feel like you’re dropped into a bar conversation that’s already rolling. Whether dissecting failed hero moments or defending fake sunglasses, the tone is always both knowing and gleefully self-effacing.
