Episode Overview

In this episode, the crew dives into stories from a recent fishing and camping trip out west, reflects on fears and growing up, discusses the ethics of comedy podcasting with political figures, and riffs on movies, viral challenges, and pop culture. It’s a blend of hilarious banter, self-deprecating humor, and oddly insightful moments about maturity, masculinity, and the randomness of life decisions.

---

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Magical Numbers, Wishes, and Superstition

• The guys discuss making wishes at "11:11" and the failure rates of magical thinking.
  • Harry: “Not a single one of my wishes from the clock being the same number has ever come true.” (01:13)
• They riff on movies like "Bedazzled" with Brendan Fraser, debating if selfless wishes are more successful.

2. Movies, Nightmares & Screaming Like Adults

• Conversations shift from horror movies ("The Conjuring," "Annabelle," "Jaws") to personal childhood and adult fears.
  • Ryan: “Hearing your own scream is scary in and of itself. You never know what it’s going to sound like.” (05:01)
  • Harry shares a vivid night terror involving a demon, sparking a chat about unexplained phenomena and possible links to sleep science or even... dolphins.

3. “Dolphin Birth” and Government Conspiracies

• Ryan introduces the bizarre TikTok trend of “dolphin birth.” The hosts debate whether giving birth near dolphins gives babies spiritual powers and why (or whether) it’s been “banned by the CIA.”
  • Ryan: “Maybe they outlawed it because dolphins know about the aliens at the bottom of the ocean.” (07:34)
  • The segment playfully connects pseudoscience, government paranoia, and sleep demons.

4. Fishing Trip Recap — Triumph & Disaster in Wyoming

• Bo recounts his intense three-day fishing trip at high elevation, with discussions on gear, exhaustion, and the unglamorous reality behind the Instagram photos.
• Familiar themes: Outfits mocked, secret "honey holes," unlikely camping mishaps.
  • Bo: “We hit it hard because we only had three days… after two days, I was like, dude, I’m gonna die.” (09:58)
• A tense/funny run-in over a wrongly booked campsite highlights their city-boy naivete.
  • Bo: “I got a strong feeling that we’re in the wrong here.” (23:41)

Fishing & Ethics

• The group debates the ethics of catch-and-release, trout mortality, and regulatory headaches.
  • Bo: “It’s a crushing feeling, killing a fish and then having to release it. You’re like, this is… I’m the worst person on the planet.” (18:23)
  • Harry recalls failed striper releases and the strange morality of fishing laws.

Wildlife Encounters

• The team’s close encounter with a moose family is genuinely terrifying.
  • Bo: “Speaking of screaming, this was the most scared I’ve been in so long… a massive moose with a baby comes into the river.” (79:25)

Camp Food & Tales of Suffering

• Disappointing burger joints, marathon hot dog sessions, and sandwich letdowns.
  • Bo: “Easily the worst cheeseburger I’ve ever had.” (26:14)
  • Five to six sausages per man after a day’s starvation—pure podcast content.

5. Pop Culture, Esports, and Personal Growth

• Detailed discussion of tournament-style Esports (Call of Duty league, Optic wins), the rise of amateur teams, and the culture around “gamer cuts” in merchandise.
  • Bo: “It’s genuinely… I’m all in. And I kinda want to get involved.” (66:30)
• Harry celebrates Bo’s maturation:
  • Harry: “You've shifted from being this, I would say, very outspoken, kind of arrogant Call of Duty participant to fan and humble about your ability.” (67:12)

6. Movies to Watch & Rankings

• The guys share movie recommendations, dissecting "Rebel Ridge," "Sovereign," "Oldboy," and riffing on Korean cinema.
  • Harry: “Oldboy. Maybe a top 10 movie of all time. This movie… I was shaking.” (61:29)

7. Geopolitics & Platforming Political Figures

• A thoughtful segment (rare for this pod): Should comedy podcasts host controversial political leaders?
  • Bo: “I don’t think people that are under-qualified… should be having any of these people on their shows.” (84:44)
• They dissect the recent Nelk x Netanyahu appearance, motivations, and whether podcasting is the right venue for serious political stories.
• Harry plays (reluctant) devil’s advocate, but the consensus is clear:
  • Bo: “I just get annoyed with all these people trying to convince everyone that they think outside the box.” (88:23)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Night Terrors and Reality Checking:

  • Harry: “It was a demon… I could feel the touch of the demon.” (06:28)

• On Fishing Mishaps:

  • Bo: “I had a whale on… And Bo fucked up the net job and I lost it. We just sat in silence. Part of me, I confronted him about it later… I think he might have done that on purpose.” (15:03-15:25)

• On Platforming Netanyahu (and why it’s dumb):

  • Bo: “No one’s ever tuned in to Theo Von and Andrew Schultz and been like, man, I wish this guy was talking to Trump right now. That would be a good listen.” (85:03)

• On “Gamer Cut” T-shirts:

  • Ryan: “It’s clearly for fat dudes. It’s a boxy… boxy shirt.” (66:39)

For Listeners Who Missed It

This episode is a travelogue of late 20-something confusion: you’ll get lessons in humility (both on the river and at the mic), the philosophy of “dolphin birth,” and surprisingly nuanced takes on maturity, masculinity, and whether podcasts should even bother with politics. All with the classic Barstool bravado and irreverence.

[Harry]

Not a single one of my wishes from the clock being the same number has ever come true.

[Ryan]

Well, you're. Are you shooting for the stars?

[Harry]

No, I think it's usually pretty.

[Bo]

Are these short term wishes or long term wishes?

[Harry]

You. Well, it's a mix of both.

[Ryan]

Like, are you being very specific? Being like, I want $20 in my hand right now?

[Harry]

No, honestly. In fact, I started even going the non selfish route which I learned from the movie with Brendan Fraser where the. He's the devil, isn't it?

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Harry]

That beautiful dark haired. Is it. It's not Bewitched or something? It's like that though. The whale. I'm sorry?

[Bo]

The whale.

[Ryan]

The devil's in it. It's a fat devil.

[Bo]

Is that not Brendan Frazier?

[Ryan]

It is.

[Bo]

It is. Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Have you. Did you guys ever watch that?

[Harry]

I watched the first five minutes and couldn't keep watching.

[Bo]

Yeah, I heard it was pretty depressing.

[Ryan]

It's awesome.

[Bo]

It's hilarious that he's in a fat suit. We have so many fat people.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's like when. When people. Like when Cuba Gooding Jr. Plays a special needs person.

[Bo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

But if you have a fat person play a fat person in a movie, that's cruel.

[Bo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

True.

[Harry]

That's inappropriate.

[Bo]

True.

[Ryan]

Yeah. People were making fun of him the entire movie. People were just crushing him.

[Bo]

Yeah, that is true. And then he can just be like, well, I'm not actually fat, so I'm actually fucking ripped.

[Ryan]

Must be so nice.

[Harry]

What was that movie called?

[Ryan]

So what were you wishing for? You're saying, well, for stuff for other people. You're wishing for world peace and that didn't come through. So you stopped believing in 1111?

[Harry]

No, I mean, you know, in that movie I learned that the way he gets out of the clutches of the devil is by finally casting a wish that is selfless. He wishes something happy for someone else.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Harry]

And she has to. She has to release him. And so I started wishing for happiness for other people. In fact, one time I was in a car with a friend and I wished when the was 3:33. And I wish that he would live a happy life. And then we hit a truck and he died.

[Bo]

Yeah, well, I was gonna say 333.

[Harry]

Is the devil's number and I was totally fine. That's wrong. It's 666.

[Bo]

Have you ever seen the Conjuring?

[Harry]

Yeah, of course, 333.

[Bo]

There's no 666 on the clock, brother.

[Harry]

Yeah, but why does it have to be on the clock?

[Bo]

Because in the Conjuring, the clock stops at 3, 3:33.

[Harry]

You're citing one movie, so.

[Bo]

One of the best horror movies.

[Harry]

It really is.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Did you. Did you like any of the sequels or prequels?

[Bo]

I thought the second one was decent. The one in London.

[Harry]

Conjuring 2.

[Bo]

Yeah, I thought that one was scary.

[Harry]

Is that the one that opens with the house break in?

[Bo]

I think so.

[Harry]

Where they just get stabbed immediately?

[Bo]

No, that's Annabella.

[Harry]

Annabelle.

[Bo]

I forgot. I forgot about Annabelle. Annabelle I thought was great.

[Harry]

Annabelle scared the.

[Bo]

Annabelle scared the fuck out of me. A lot of people think that movie sucks and they don't think it's scary.

[Harry]

That scene where she's in the basement of the church and opens that gets into the elevator and hits the button and it. Then the doors open. She's still in the basement.

[Bo]

Oh, I. The only scene that I remember for that movie is when she's sitting in the living room and there's the swinging door. Like they have like the door into the kitchen and like it. Someone goes through it and then she sees like a little kid on the other side, like running towards her and then the kid gets through and it turns into like a fully grown lady. And I remember watching that and I went, ah. I was watching it with my cous. I've like never screamed during that ever. It was that. That scared the out of me.

[Harry]

I did that in Jaws with my parents. I was watching Jaws when I was.

[Bo]

Younger and, oh, the scene with the.

[Harry]

The body floats out of the. In the.

[Bo]

That scene still scares the out of me. I always have to be like, I think it's coming up right now.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Hearing your own scream is scary in and of itself. You never know what it's going to sound like. Now, have you guys ever heard yourself screaming? I guess in that circumstance. But like, as adults, have you ever like, do you know what it sounds like? A terrified scream would even sound like coming out of you.

[Harry]

Mine's a roar. Mine's more of a roar. And I'm thrilled by that. But it also is the sound I would make in enormous grief, I think. What. That's what it is.

[Bo]

What scenario are you guys letting out these noises? Because I'm not really letting out a lot of, like, gasps for my life.

[Ryan]

I was on the zip line a couple years ago. I just tried to let one go just to be like, what would it sound like if I like George of the Jungle scream.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And it disappointed the hell out of me.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

I had night terrors twice and I can remember both of them where I woke up screaming.

[Bo]

Really?

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You could hear yourself in the night terrors.

[Harry]

I screamed for a while after I woke up because I didn't realize that I was awake.

[Bo]

Well, that's what happens, right? People wake up and they freak the fuck out.

[Harry]

Yeah. And luckily I was with my ex wife at the time. She was able to like, put a hand on me and be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Ryan]

Shut the fuck up.

[Harry]

Calm down. Like, what's going on? You're okay. This is real life.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

It was a demon. I remember distinctly the image. I was being killed.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

By a demon. I remember it so vividly.

[Bo]

Yeah. That doesn't sound fun.

[Harry]

And I. It was so bad that it woke me up and I was screaming at. And it.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Screaming.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like it wasn't just a bad. I feel like night terrors like that where multiple people have the same experience. That's not just a bad dream.

[Harry]

No.

[Ryan]

That's some kind of unexplained psychological phenomenon.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

I think I've had many nightmares, but never. This was like, tangible. I could feel the touch of the demon.

[Ryan]

There has to be just something we don't know about that. We haven't got to yet scientifically. That. And it could be real demons. You never know. Angels and demons.

[Bo]

I really don't know.

[Ryan]

I've been looking into Dolphin birth recently.

[Bo]

Really?

[Ryan]

Did you guys hear that? Dolphin birth has been outlawed. That you're not allowed to. Women aren't allowed to give birth with dolphins, but women used to give birth with dolphins nearby.

[Harry]

And.

[Ryan]

And that it would, like, the babies would come out with, like, their eyes open. With, like, a different level of psychological understanding.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And then maybe they outlawed it because the dolphins know about the aliens at the bottom of the ocean, but it's just these unexplained phenomena, like the sleep demon. You're skeptical about it. You seem skeptical.

[Harry]

I'm trying to unpack the things you just said. Dolphin birth is the belief that. You know what? It doesn't matter.

[Ryan]

You can't even ask.

[Harry]

Here's my question. Is the belief that the presence of dolphins informs the newborn child in some way?

[Ryan]

Yeah. That they have some kind of new spiritual understanding. So they're born with the dolphin, and yet those.

[Harry]

Then there are people that want to protect the dolphins. And why?

[Ryan]

Well. Or no, they don't want to protect the dolphins.

[Harry]

Why do people outlaw that, though?

[Ryan]

Because they don't want us to know. They don't want us to know and gain the benefits of what the dolphin is giving to us.

[Harry]

Who doesn't want us? The government?

[Ryan]

Yeah, probably the CIA. The same people that swept the Epstein stuff under the rug.

[Harry]

All right, that makes sense. Okay, I can get.

[Ryan]

I'm just scratching the surface of dolphin birth, but I think it's correlated to night terrors in the inverse. It's just the other end of the spectrum.

[Bo]

Did you have a dolphin birthday? Imagine finding out you had a dolphin birth. Like, now. Like, when you're 36, your mom calls you and she's like, I gotta tell you something, Francis.

[Ryan]

Been weighing on me.

[Bo]

And you were born, there was 17 dolphins circling us.

[Harry]

We spent your entire college fund. And if we're honest, the fact that you have not told us what's going on with the aliens means it was a gigantic waste of money.

[Bo]

This was a massive investment.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If you don't get the benefits of the dolphin birth after the dolphin birth. I mean, I saw this all on Tick Tock, but there's people in the Tick Tock comments that are like, I had a dolphin birth. And I'm like, well, what are you doing on Tick Tock? Like, solve world hunger. Like, touch a child with cancer on their forehead or something like that. Like, right, Stop being in the comments. Like, what were the benefits of the dolphin birth? Yeah, but people love the love to talk about the dolphin burst.

[Harry]

Well, speaking of fish.

[Bo]

Yeah. I went fishing. It was good. I'm fucking exhausted.

[Ryan]

But from fishing so hard.

[Bo]

Do. Well, we hit it hard because we only had three days. And last year, I don't know how the fuck. Last year we did like, we did like eight full days. Like full, like sleep, wake up fish. After two days, I was like, dude, I'm gonna die. It was insane. Like, it was. I mean, everyone, everyone likes to. Everyone likes to make fun of my outfits while I'm fishing. But people don't understand, like, you're in the sun for 10 hours at 10, 000ft elevation.

[Harry]

I mean, look, I don't want to.

[Bo]

I'm not frying.

[Harry]

I'm not here to make fun of it. I just can't believe that you wear business casual attire.

[Bo]

But it's not. That's the thing too. Everyone thinks it's biz. It's an L.L. bean fishing you.

[Harry]

Clothing. That was like UV protecting church.

[Bo]

No, no, it's UV protecting. And they have like, they have pockets on the side. It's got a thing on the inside. It's got like. I don't know if you guys even have ever seen this on. Fishing shirts on the inside. Like right here, there will be a little patch and it'll be made out of the stuff to wipe down your sunglasses.

[Harry]

Unbelievable rub. You know, it's also, there's a. There's another way to do that, actually.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Which is just to use your shirt.

[Bo]

Oh, that doesn't work. That's because you don't have good fish finders.

[Ryan]

What's a fish finder?

[Bo]

Glasses.

[Ryan]

Oh, got it. Got it. So shirts don't work for. I mean, I don't.

[Bo]

Thought I was back in the big city for a second.

[Harry]

I don't. I don't see boys. I don't need fish finders. Do you know why? Because I was born with the dolphins.

[Bo]

Yeah, true.

[Harry]

I have a sense of where they are.

[Ryan]

It licks his finger and puts it in the water and the fish just rush to it.

[Harry]

That's exactly right.

[Ryan]

He's just conducting.

[Bo]

And they all just float up upside down.

[Harry]

Chumming the waters. Those are good. Those are good dolphins. That's good dolphin sounds. Really good dolphin right there. Damn.

[Bo]

Yeah, it was. What can he do? We, we hit it hard. It was like mostly like wake up at six or seven and then fish until like nine.

[Ryan]

That's insane.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What are you snacking on? Are you having coffee?

[Bo]

Yeah, we brought food. Like, we would bring out like some sandwiches and stuff.

[Harry]

Fish until 9am 9pm you'd fish from 6am Till 9pm no, we'd wake up.

[Bo]

We'D make breakfast, do some shit, probably get out on the water around like it depended. It depends on the day. Because one day we had to go back into town to get flies. So that day we didn't get out until like 11.

[Harry]

How far away was town?

[Bo]

But the fishing didn't really turn on until like noon anyway.

[Ryan]

How far away was town?

[Bo]

An hour.

[Harry]

Okay, what town was it?

[Bo]

I'm not gonna tell you.

[Harry]

No, you can't now because you're not at. You're not there anymore.

[Ryan]

You're not even.

[Bo]

There's no way I'm giving up the honey hole.

[Harry]

Do you know how badly? Actually, I'm not even gonna tell you that. I'm gonna save that.

[Ryan]

But just know that would cause a gold rush to that town. If you said it on the podcast.

[Bo]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Ryan]

If you said word of what town it was.

[Bo]

Yeah, I'm not gonna give up the honey hole. But it was.

[Harry]

It was great.

[Bo]

It was good time. I mean, just you, Bo Peters. Yeah, just me, Bow and Peters.

[Harry]

What happened to Nate?

[Bo]

He had work and he doesn't really fish. So when we just went to Maine.

[Ryan]

Who likes fishing the least of all them? Of all three of you?

[Bo]

I don't know.

[Harry]

I'd say Peters.

[Bo]

I really don't know.

[Ryan]

Someone has to like it the least, you know?

[Bo]

Peters had a rough third day, but I had a terrible day one. Just a mess.

[Ryan]

Couldn't catch nothing.

[Bo]

Couldn't catch a thing. Losing flies left and right snagged every.

[Harry]

Cast who had fought.

[Bo]

I almost broke down on day one who had fought. Yeah, we kept it pretty civil.

[Harry]

No f O T T. What? Fot fish of the trip.

[Bo]

Oh, me?

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that whale.

[Bo]

Yeah, it was a behemoth.

[Harry]

That slob.

[Bo]

Dude, that. I wish I could just relive the. The eat the take.

[Ryan]

How big or how deep was the water where you caught that? In deep.

[Bo]

Probably like 10 plus feet.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Bo]

Which for like a river, I mean, especially small water. So it was a really deep pool.

[Ryan]

Because in the background of the picture, it looked pretty shallow. I was like, dude, catching a fish like that in a shallow.

[Bo]

It was super shallow. And then it go. It went into deep. That's where I was casting. And then it. It hit. And then you see it under. You see the fish underwater. Because I was fishing a streamer, which is like just like a bait fish, and you pull it in and then it feels like you just hit like a log. And then you see it Head shake under the water. And then it saw. I saw its whole body turn. And I was like, that's a 40 inch fish. Freaking the fuck out. I would do it because. Because the day before it also, it was not even close. But it looks so big.

[Ryan]

20 inches.

[Bo]

It was probably like 18. It looked like it was fucking a shark underwater, dude. Because, you know, like, sometimes underwater, like, magnifies things.

[Ryan]

Of course, objects in mirror.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Aren't as close as they appear.

[Bo]

So it looks fucking huge. But the day before, I caught a big one on a dry fly and Bo fucked up the net job and I lost it. And that was like. That was after like a long day. And I just. We just sat in silence. And part of me, I confronted him about it later. Part of me, it was like, I think he might have done that on purpose.

[Ryan]

He didn't want you to catch a fucking patty.

[Bo]

I had a whale on and he was ready to get netted. And I'm sitting there, I'm holding the rod up and he's got the net and I'm like, net it, net it. And he's just standing there and he's like, it's not ready. And I was like, what do you mean? And then again, it broke off.

[Harry]

Why wouldn't it have been ready?

[Bo]

Because, like, sometimes if they're not like tired out enough at them, they'll jet.

[Harry]

And if you. And you gotta let them run. If you try to net right as they're about to run, you run even harder.

[Bo]

Yeah, exactly.

[Harry]

Because they know.

[Bo]

Well, also because if someone comes up to them with a net, they get even more spooked and they fly away.

[Ryan]

It's not ready.

[Bo]

What the fuck is he talking about, fly fishing? Like, you kind of have to. It's. It's a little bit. I don't really know how like, morally good it is the way that you do it. Because fly fishing, it's like you're fishing on a rod that is not heavy at all. Like, compared to like a spin rod. It's a very light rod. You could snap the rod with no effort.

[Harry]

Nine weight.

[Bo]

Yeah. And then the line that you're fishing, like we were fishing 5x, which is like, it's literally like you could just rip it. Like, it's so. The line is so thin because the fish can see the line.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

So when you're fly fishing, you hook the fish and you can't. Like with a spin rod, you hook the fish and then you really can just reel, like, just pull it in. If you do that on A fly rod, the. It would snap off immediately.

[Ryan]

So why is it not ethical?

[Bo]

Because you got to tire out the fish and then, like, it's like beating.

[Ryan]

Up a deer before you shoot it kind of.

[Bo]

Yeah, a little bit like that. And then if you're releasing them. So it's like you kind of got to keep them in the. Like, you really got to keep trout, specifically, like, in the water. Like, they're really not even supposed to get out of the water. So, like, if you're going to do a picture, you kind of just. You lift them up and then you put them right back in.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Or else they'll die. It's pretty crazy. It's pretty funny because it's like, if you go saltwater fishing, you catch a striped bass and, like, throw that thing on the rocks, bring it home right back. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bo]

You could literally bring a striper home and bring it back to the ocean, and it would swim away. Fine. Five hours later, you say that.

[Harry]

And one time I caught an absolute gigantic striper.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And then we unhooked it and went to put it back, and it just flipped over onto its side, swimming on its side because it was too big. We had to put it.

[Bo]

Sometimes when they're really deep and they come up, they die.

[Harry]

Well, either way, for whatever reason, probably from fighting so long, and what pissed me off was that we didn't get to keep any of the fish we caught because none of them were in the regulation. They were all too big. Right.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And that one was just gonna die.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And we could see it. It's just stupidly on its side.

[Bo]

It's tough feeling.

[Harry]

And I'm like, well, it. We gotta go get it.

[Bo]

You still can't keep it.

[Harry]

He was like, you can't.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Because they wouldn't believe.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

What had happened if they boarded us.

[Ryan]

You have to film it.

[Bo]

It's a devastating.

[Harry]

I said, I'll eat it right here on the boat. I don't give a.

[Bo]

It's a crushing feeling, killing a fish and then having to release it. You're like, this is. I'm the worst person on the planet.

[Harry]

Yeah. But then you think, okay, well, this is just going to go back into the ocean, you know?

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

This will be food.

[Ryan]

It'll be an easy snack for.

[Harry]

Yeah. I was the Uber Eats delivery guy for a larger fish.

[Bo]

Did you see that video of that dude? That was shark. He caught a shark off the shore.

[Harry]

And it bit him.

[Bo]

And it bit him.

[Harry]

I saw that.

[Bo]

That looked like he got fucked up.

[Harry]

I know.

[Bo]

Because he like, tried to play it cool and then he was like, walk.

[Harry]

It's like when someone tears their Achilles and.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Walk off things like a shoot a free throw afterwards.

[Bo]

Yeah, that thing just came right back and just snatched him.

[Ryan]

I didn't see what happened.

[Bo]

It was a small shark, but he was like releasing. It was probably like this big and he was like. They were like dragging it back into the water, trying to get it into.

[Ryan]

The waves where they bite him.

[Bo]

I think it just got him on the foot.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Because the second they like, they turned it around to like send it and then it like, it like turned back around and bit the dude and then.

[Harry]

Had to get a helicopter to take him out.

[Ryan]

Loki. Good for the shark, though. Just like get the lick back a little bit.

[Bo]

Definitely.

[Ryan]

Like you're not going to just get dominated like that.

[Bo]

Catching sharks is insane.

[Ryan]

Insane.

[Harry]

So, so many more. So many questions. Yeah, so many questions.

[Ryan]

Should we ping pong back and forth?

[Harry]

Yeah. I guess the first question is, how was the tent? Did you get a bigger one?

[Bo]

Yeah, the camping this year was so much better.

[Harry]

Why?

[Bo]

Unbelievably better.

[Ryan]

Why bigger tent?

[Bo]

We did well. We stayed at a real campsite. Like a place where you have to like reserve the campsite online. And then you go and it's just. You park your car and there's a place for you to. There's like a picnic table and a place for you to put the tent.

[Harry]

Was it ground you were on or had. They had. Did they have platforms for it?

[Bo]

No, it was ground.

[Harry]

Okay.

[Bo]

But it was like last year we straight up just like went to the woods. It was like. It was like we just pulled over and we're like, this looks like a good spot, which.

[Ryan]

That is more badass.

[Bo]

It's more badass. But it's fucking cold and it's dark. Like, it's. It's kind of. It's. It's a lot more like draining. I feel like this was like. We weren't with a lot of people. There was like other people there. So it's like. Then you don't have to worry about animals at all, really, because it's like a bear is not gonna pull up on like 45 cars or people. Not cars. There's six cars. Probably not 45 people. Probably more like 20.

[Harry]

Did you get to know any of those people?

[Bo]

A couple of them. We had a really funny run in on the second night, so we only ended up camping two nights. We were only there for three nights though. But we had a really funny run in the second night, we fished, like, all day until we didn't get back to the camp until it was dark. And we pulled up to our campsite, and we had a bunch of stuff, like, on the picnic table and, like, under the picnic table. And our tent was still there. And we got back, and there was a massive, like, ram truck parked in our spot, like, backed up to our tent, and all of our. On our picnic table was gone. So we were like, all right. We were like, I think someone took our spot and then robbed us.

[Harry]

Left the car.

[Bo]

And so we're driving around, and we're like. We're like, you guys see anybody? You guys got any idea whose car this is? And everyone's like, no, I think it's been here since this morning. And they're like, but, you guys, that's your guys campsite, right? And we were like, damn right it is. That's our campsite. And we're sitting in the car, and Bo's like, are you guys ready to, like, fight? He was like, because these white, like, these Wyoming people are crazy. He's like, we might have to. Like, this might turn into a brawl.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

And so I'm like, no. I'm like, dude, there's no way I'm gonna fight. Like, you can do whatever you got to do. I'll back you up if I have to.

[Ryan]

But how are you gonna back him up?

[Bo]

I had my blade on me.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Bo]

Of course.

[Harry]

Somebody.

[Bo]

Yeah. I had my blade on my hip. That's the best part about going to Wyoming. The best part about going over. Keep the blade on the hip. It's awesome. It makes you feel like a man just walking around with, like, you're in a grocery store just with a blade on your hip. But it's like everyone else has, like, a gun on their hip, so it's like, you don't feel bad about it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, of course.

[Bo]

But so we're sitting there. We're, like, right outside the campsite. We're about to go get out of the car and go confront this dude. And this. This lady walking her dog is. Starts, like, walking up the hill, and. And we're sitting there, and. And Beau's like, whose car is this? She's like, it's mine. It's like, it's my car. And we're like, well, this is our campsite. And she goes, well, you have to pay to stay here. And we were like, ah. And then it turned out Beau booked the wrong dates.

[Ryan]

No. Yeah.

[Bo]

It was all our fault.

[Harry]

No.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

So wait, she parked did she run the camp?

[Bo]

She runs the campsite.

[Harry]

She parked there as a message.

[Bo]

She parked there to be, like. Because she thought we were just showing up and not paying.

[Harry]

No, I know, but that's her way of dealing with that.

[Bo]

Yeah. Because she was kind of far down, so if we didn't. If, like, we just went back to our campsite, she would never saw us.

[Harry]

Oh, so she was hanging around to collect payment from you guys?

[Bo]

She was, like, assuming that we were going to come back because our tent was there, and then we came back. She probably saw our car and then.

[Harry]

Just walked up and did you end up paying her?

[Bo]

Yeah, she was very friendly, but it was very funny. Like, our energy going into it was like, we're about to beat the. Out of somebody up, and then this lady shows up, and we were like, get whoever's truck this is and get him to move it.

[Harry]

Was she.

[Bo]

It was like I said, when we were going through the process, I was like, I got a strong feeling that we're in the wrong here. I was like, this doesn't seem like something that just happens regularly.

[Ryan]

Well, she couldn't just take your payment from the other days and, like, transfer it.

[Bo]

It was like we were. Because we. We changed the trip dates so many times, so, like, we had one day reserved instead of three. But it was. It wasn't a big deal. We just paid her.

[Harry]

How much was it per night?

[Bo]

It was, like, 20 bucks.

[Harry]

Yeah. You gave her cash? Yeah. That's good. And was she cute?

[Bo]

She was, like, 95.

[Harry]

Really?

[Ryan]

So was she cute?

[Bo]

If that's what you're into, yeah.

[Ryan]

495. Like, did she look good for 95? But what happened to all your food that was out? Like, you said, all the stuff on your picnic table doesn't.

[Bo]

She brought it all down to her campsite.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Bo]

Yeah, we had to bring it all back up.

[Ryan]

What was like, what was it?

[Bo]

Chairs, headlamps.

[Ryan]

Threw it on her pickup truck and was holding it hostage for 20. 20? Yeah. What the. Yeah, just take your loss, lady. For $20, she was gonna take all your. Yeah, just take one chair. That's worth $20.

[Bo]

Yeah, it was. And then the second day, and then I was, like, giving Bo a hard time. I was like, of course you booked the wrong. He was like, well, it was really confusing. Like. Like, I thought if we had. Until this day. He thought that, like, checkout day meant you still have it that night.

[Harry]

Oh, God.

[Bo]

And I was like, no. I was like, it sounds like you guys have just never been so. I'm giving them all this about that, right? I'm like, you guys have never been in a hotel. Like, how do you not know how to do this? And then we, the last night we stayed in like a lodge slash hotel that was like right by where we were fishing. And I booked it that night. Booked the wrong dates.

[Harry]

Did you make the same mistake?

[Bo]

Exact same mistake.

[Harry]

No way.

[Bo]

And dude, so, so we check in. We're like. Because we went and ate dinner there and we were all so tired and I was like, I'm just gonna get us a room. I was like, I can't camp tonight. And so we were planning.

[Harry]

When you went to dinner, you guys were planning to camp again.

[Bo]

That I had already made up my mind hours prior. I just hadn't let the fellas know.

[Harry]

Because they don't they. Then they'd fight you on it.

[Bo]

No, they wouldn't care. They were like, they were definitely down to not camp because everyone to shower before we flew home.

[Harry]

Yeah, smart.

[Ryan]

Would you guys get it? Dinner. What was it? I feel like a lodge like that probably had some nice trout.

[Harry]

Or maybe it's venison.

[Bo]

That's what you would think.

[Harry]

Venison went with the burger.

[Bo]

Easily the worst cheeseburger I've ever had.

[Ryan]

And that's almost impossible.

[Bo]

Dude, you always think like I always think that those like you're like, that happened last year too. And it's like you're post fishing and you're like, let's check out this little mom and pop shop. This is going to be. I mean this might be the best. This might be like a hidden gem of the west. Yeah. And then you go and you're like, this sucks.

[Harry]

They haven't replenished their inventory from their freezer room in 17 years.

[Bo]

It was literally like we. No one said anything. And then the second we left, we were all like, that burger sucks.

[Ryan]

Everybody got burgers.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Damn. So then how many rooms did you get?

[Bo]

So I got one room with two beds. And they, I, I get my own bed.

[Ryan]

Of course.

[Bo]

And, but so, so I go to check in at the front desk.

[Harry]

Did they split the other bed?

[Bo]

Yeah. So I gotta check a cot.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

No.

[Harry]

A roll away.

[Bo]

No, this is a tiny hotel.

[Ryan]

Head to toe. No cuddled up. Dick to dick to butt.

[Bo]

Comfortable with our sexuality.

[Harry]

Were the beds, were they queens or were they doubles?

[Bo]

Queens?

[Harry]

Wow. Those big boys in a queen.

[Bo]

22 Jump street was on.

[Harry]

That's fun.

[Bo]

Surprisingly good movie.

[Harry]

It's pretty.

[Bo]

I remember that movie being that funny. It might be funnier than the first one.

[Harry]

It's funny.

[Ryan]

22 is that good?

[Bo]

22 is decent.

[Harry]

When they're tripping on the.

[Bo]

Hilarious.

[Harry]

When they're tripping on the. Oh, it's the one in college.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah, it's the college one I gotta catch. Pretty fun.

[Bo]

Yeah, it's Dec the 24. Three is maybe one of the worst movies ever.

[Ryan]

They went to.

[Bo]

They made a three, I think, right?

[Harry]

Oh my God.

[Bo]

Did they.

[Harry]

I don't.

[Bo]

Or maybe that was just a running joke.

[Ryan]

23 Jump Street I think they did. I could be wrong. To be a fly on the wall. I'm curious what kind of sandwiches they were making during the day. Who's making them? Was it turkey sandwiches? Salami sandwiches? Cuz those probably hit so hard.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

In the middle of the day you finally are like it. I'll just. I was waiting till 11:30. I'll have my sandwich at 11.

[Harry]

Soft sandwich, bread, a little mayo.

[Bo]

There is no 23 Jump Street.

[Harry]

There is.

[Bo]

There isn't.

[Harry]

No.

[Bo]

So that's why it's the worst movie of all time.

[Harry]

Right?

[Bo]

Doesn't exist.

[Ryan]

0 out of 100. So tell us about the.

[Harry]

So bad they removed every copy in circulation. Sandwiches.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. We need to know about this. What kind of. What kind of sandwiches were you guys making?

[Bo]

How long? Turkey and cheese.

[Ryan]

Did they hit?

[Bo]

No, they were awful.

[Harry]

What?

[Ryan]

This.

[Bo]

I'll tell you what really hit was the second night we had. We bought a ton of hot dogs and sausages and we were like, we gotta eat them all tonight because this is our last night that we're gonna camp.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

And we ate them all. And it was. I mean, I'm like, I think I had like three hot dogs.

[Harry]

2.

[Bo]

What are those like, what are like the white hot dogs?

[Harry]

Kielbasa's.

[Bo]

No.

[Ryan]

Polish sausage, Something like that.

[Bo]

I don't know. Brat?

[Ryan]

Bratwurst.

[Bo]

Brat, Brat, Brat. Yeah, we had two brats. Those are solid.

[Ryan]

Those are Italian. So six. Six sausages.

[Bo]

It was around five or six per man.

[Ryan]

Oh my God.

[Bo]

So you hadn't eaten all day. So it's like you take that down in like 30 seconds.

[Harry]

Did. Did you guys roast them over a fire or did you put them on a grill?

[Bo]

The dogs? We did. Over charcoal. Over charcoal grill.

[Harry]

Oh, not over the open flame of.

[Bo]

The fire, but it wasn't like an actual. It was just a platform to put charcoal on.

[Harry]

But again, you didn't. You didn't have them over a fire, like a nice fire that you had going?

[Bo]

We had a fire going, but we know we didn't Cook them with that.

[Ryan]

It would have been nice to just put, like, put a stick through the center of a dog.

[Harry]

Yeah. Like a marshmallow.

[Bo]

Yeah. That's what you think.

[Harry]

S'. Mores.

[Bo]

Like, then you have stick in your dog.

[Harry]

Who doesn't?

[Ryan]

Like, that's literally what corn dog is. They put stick in the dog.

[Harry]

Yeah, put dog in the stick.

[Ryan]

The dog in the stick sounds so nice.

[Bo]

It was a good time. It was fun.

[Ryan]

Are you guys sitting during the day, like, when you're at the river for 14 hours, seven to nine, or did you, like, sit down? Did you bring chairs? Like, or do you just. You stood for 14 hours?

[Bo]

The first day, what we did was we got to the river, and then we fished for, like, probably, like, four hours. And then we went back to the car and had lunch and then went and fished another location.

[Harry]

You guys ate in the car?

[Bo]

No, we ate, like, outside.

[Harry]

Okay.

[Bo]

And. And then the second day, we were getting just. Every place we went to was either filled up with people or the water was super low. So we didn't get to, like, a good spot until late. And then we had lunch, then when we got there so we wouldn't have to come back. And then we went out for the rest of the night. And then the last day when we had to go into town, we went in and then we came back and we brought lunch. So the last day was like, literally the. Like, we. The walk back to the car from where we. Where we ended fishing was like an hour. We were my. We covered, like, 10 miles of river.

[Ryan]

You're just dead.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's brutal.

[Bo]

Actually had to run back to the car because we were going to be late to get to the place for.

[Ryan]

Dinner so he could get the car.

[Bo]

So he could get the car. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Bo]

And he ran, like, uphill at, like, 10,000ft. And then he showed up to the car, and there was not a single drop of sweat on him. It was like he ran for, like, 15 minutes, flying through the woods.

[Harry]

You're saying he ran ahead, got the car, and then brought it to you guys?

[Bo]

Y.

[Harry]

And when he got to you, he was not sweating.

[Bo]

There was zero. Out of breath.

[Harry]

Was he running in boots?

[Bo]

In full fishing gear?

[Harry]

Oh, I love him.

[Ryan]

What a stud. He was the one who was doing push ups.

[Bo]

Yeah, he was doing push ups at the airport.

[Harry]

You sent me the picture of that, and I thought, this guy is my brother.

[Bo]

It was so funny.

[Ryan]

Yes. He might be more you than you did.

[Bo]

We met up.

[Harry]

I aspire to be well, because the.

[Bo]

First night Was just nothing but disaster. I don't even know if I told you guys about that. How we didn't get in. Like everything was delayed. Also, have you guys ever been on a CRJ 200?

[Harry]

Yes.

[Bo]

They should be illegal. I mean, what the fuck is that? That's the smallest fucking plane I've ever seen.

[Harry]

I took one of those in in Idaho once and every member of my family threw up in the plane.

[Bo]

Dude, I had to take it. We take it twice.

[Harry]

We threw all through up so much that my sister, by the time she started throwing up, there were no more barf bags left.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And she just threw up into her shirt.

[Bo]

That's insane.

[Harry]

The way I used to pick up tennis balls that bad.

[Bo]

It's like the. You know the Delta connections flights, like if you fly from here to Boston.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bo]

That's a CRJ 900 and this is probably a quarter of the size.

[Harry]

Yeah, it's.

[Bo]

Dude, like even just how low it is to like the. The. You see the people putting the bags in. They're above the wings. Their heads are like five feet above the wing.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

You feel every single bump, everybody.

[Ryan]

That is the worst feeling. I mean, I feel like I've been on shittier planes than that.

[Bo]

Well, you definitely have. I mean, the. When you went to the Bahamas. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like there's like going to. Yeah.

[Bo]

But this is also.

[Ryan]

You got in Africa, like the tiny ass plains in Africa. The tiny ass plains in something else. James, is.

[Bo]

You're flying through the mountains.

[Ryan]

Oh, the turbulence is crazy.

[Bo]

Turbulence is like, dude, the landing.

[Ryan]

Were you scared?

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Did you.

[Ryan]

Did you let the boys know how terrified you were? Nah, you gotta seem to the headphones in.

[Harry]

You hear about that. There's always like a plane that crashes in the mountains and then there's like.

[Bo]

There'S like an American Airlines crash the other day, wasn't there?

[Harry]

There was the one of the. I think it was like out of Vancouver or something like that where there was like a girls soccer team traveling and they crashed.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bo]

And they landed in the woods and they had to eat each other.

[Harry]

You heard about that?

[Ryan]

Was all over the news. They made that documentary on it.

[Harry]

Fuck, man.

[Bo]

What did you guys ever watch? Are you referencing yellowjackets?

[Harry]

Oh, you're right. I'm thinking of yellow jackets.

[Bo]

Did you actually watch that show?

[Harry]

I tried. I could, yeah.

[Ryan]

I watched it first.

[Bo]

I don't even know how, you know.

[Harry]

I watched like two or three episodes and then I was like, I've never.

[Ryan]

Seen a show that gets worse every minute.

[Bo]

Dude, it is every Minute.

[Ryan]

I've never.

[Bo]

From the first shot of the show on. It gets worse.

[Harry]

It's such a good premise. And then it just turned into fucking. They were. I don't know.

[Bo]

I watched the first two seasons and I was like. By the end of the second one, I was like, this is pretty dumb.

[Ryan]

I can't believe you made it through seconds.

[Bo]

Dude. The third season came out. I watched maybe five minutes of the first episode. They just added girls to the woods that weren't there.

[Harry]

No.

[Bo]

Yeah, yeah. Like, out of nowhere, there's just a whole new cast of girls that appeared from the woods.

[Ryan]

What the fuck? And then there's, like, the. The girl who's, like, the main woman is, like. She's, like a big girl, but she's, like, having an affair with, like, a super hot dude.

[Bo]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

It's like, no.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Looks match these people.

[Harry]

It's also, by a year into them being in the woods, there should not be any big girls left in that group.

[Ryan]

Right. The fact that they have persistent big.

[Harry]

Girls, well, they're just all on the most incredibly disciplined keto diet.

[Ryan]

And remember when they find the. The airplane and they're like, we're gonna fly it.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You're 10. You're 10 years with a girl.

[Bo]

Remember when the girl destroys the black box?

[Harry]

Yeah. That was. That's really early.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Why did she do that again?

[Bo]

Because she wants to, like, hang out with her friends. Oh. Yeah.

[Harry]

Your entire game plan for soccer was boot it. How are you guys gonna rewire a broken airplane?

[Ryan]

It's so funny. That show sucked so much ass.

[Harry]

Yeah. And yet Harry watched two seasons and then started the third.

[Bo]

I watched two seasons of Sinners, and I think that was the. Or the center.

[Harry]

That wasn't. The first season of the Sinner wasn't the worst.

[Bo]

That show was unbelievably bad.

[Harry]

What do you mean? I actually didn't.

[Bo]

That was terrible subplot where, like, the head detective likes to have his, like, nails.

[Harry]

Testicles. Yeah. I don't really know why they did that, but, you know, the twist was solid.

[Bo]

Every, like, detective show has to have some insane, like, sexual deviant head character who, like. It just doesn't make sense in the script at all.

[Ryan]

It can't be that hard to write those shows.

[Bo]

Dude, the looming tower, he is like, three wives.

[Harry]

That's true. That was true.

[Bo]

But there's. They never talk about it in the book.

[Harry]

That's true. He had multiple families. That FBI agent.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bo]

But they. They barely speak. Like, it's just like goes.

[Harry]

Delivers flowers to the. The woman and stuff like that.

[Bo]

Ye.

[Harry]

That's it.

[Bo]

Like they.

[Harry]

But now you're complaining that they're not covering that weird part of his life more.

[Bo]

No, I'm saying just cut out the whole thing.

[Harry]

It.

[Bo]

It was so irrelevant to the story.

[Ryan]

Just give us a good story and then let. Let everybody watch porn on the side.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like don't.

[Bo]

True. Put up like maybe do like a side box in the picture.

[Ryan]

In picture.

[Harry]

Like, am I wrong in thinking that in the book it was relevant to the story because he was discredited as, as a, an agent and he was one of the few people that was early to the threat that was coming from.

[Bo]

Oh, I don't know.

[Harry]

And that like, had he had more credibility that maybe they would have listened to him and like put more of an eye on bin Laden and.

[Bo]

Yeah, I could see that. I mean, it was that.

[Harry]

And then he left the briefcase with all the top secret documents on the train, right?

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Do you always think that Bin Laden was a freak between the sheets? No, no chance. I think he almost certainly was.

[Bo]

Have you guys seen this dude? Have we. Have you talked about this, Ron? I think you might have brought up the dude that's biking to Japan.

[Ryan]

I talked about the guy Omar. Omar knock. The guy who's like, Egypt to Japan without flying.

[Harry]

Do you see Jimmy Graham is rowing to the North Pole, delivering children's notes to Santa?

[Bo]

Dude, this dude that's biking to Japan or to Japan from wherever the fuck is. It's insane. He was just driving through Afghanistan right now.

[Ryan]

Oh, was that the guy who was in Iran or something like that when we were like bombing Iran? That's a different guy.

[Bo]

This dude was in Afghanistan yesterday. And the videos that he's posting are insane. Like, him biking on the street and like nine mopeds, like literally like here just yelling at him, videotaping him. And he's like, he's like, he turns, he's like, vibes are not good. Right? Because like, I think he's doing it to show like, I think he's trying to show like, people are friendly, people are nice. And then he was like started off that one. It's really like, it's actually very interesting to watch.

[Harry]

But Julia went to Afghanistan for a similar premise.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And then was basically held captive by the Taliban for a night and came away with a very similar feeling.

[Bo]

Yeah, that's pretty much like he. At the end, at the beginning of the video, he's like, I'm. He's telling people he's American. And then at the end, he's like, I'm keeping where I'm from pretty close to the chest, right?

[Ryan]

Canadian. I'm Canadian.

[Bo]

I don't know why you wouldn't just lead with God immediately. I was like, why didn't just leave. Say you're Canadian. Yeah, but they probably. They check like, dude, the Taliban checks your passport.

[Ryan]

Yeah, get the Canadian passport. Dude, get the Epstein fake passport.

[Bo]

I mean, that's ballsy. Is it ballsy or is it dumb?

[Ryan]

It's dumb as hell.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like trying to show the humanity of someone or something that you don't haven't confirmed the humanity of.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Is weird. Like, you should know that you're gonna, like, have safe passage. Just being like, no. Like. Yeah, it's a weirdly like.

[Bo]

Well, it's like a weird assumption that like. Like, I feel like, because the Israel, Palestine stuff, like, people are like the people that are like, pro Palestine, which I think is most people. It's like the Hamas, but it's like, Hamas is still not good. So it's like, yeah, the like, I think people are like, well, who knows if the Taliban's bad, right? Like, it could be America.

[Harry]

Roan's point of like, if I were to ever do like, these people aren't as bad as you think, I would do it with like the Danish. Yeah. Here I am in Copenhagen. You know, a lot of people think that the Danes are kind of frosty, a little standoffish, but from what I found, as long as you crack through that icy exterior. Yeah, they're quite convivial.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Damn convivial. So good.

[Harry]

I've got pick up soccer later, folks.

[Bo]

It's the foreplay.

[Ryan]

Like my boy used to. Or a student I met in Ethiopia. A friend of a friend was like his dream was to make the trek from Ethiopia down the east coast of Africa to South Africa. But he says it's like the most dangerous trek that you can make regardless of who you are, where you're from. You go through so many like dissident factions, small governments, rebel groups that no matter you're gonna run into, you're gonna hit static no matter what.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like you're gonna get killed no matter who you are.

[Harry]

If he's on the coast, Right. Is that what he said he was going to do?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Then he'd be going through like northern Mozambique, which is really bad.

[Bo]

This guy's going through Russia.

[Harry]

And I would take my chances even as an American in Russia right now over that trip that.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Ron is talking about.

[Ryan]

Yeah. That is insane. Like a lion shouldn't do that trip.

[Harry]

Yeah. What's the worst that can happen in Russia? Look what happened to Brittney Griner. They put her in a cell that like her head. She looked like a giraffe poking her head out of the top. I used to do a joke about that by the way.

[Ryan]

That's hilarious. The Brittney Griner does everything she can to present As a dude, is that up to say. I feel like she, like, very consciously wants to be like, no. Like, I don't have titties and my.

[Bo]

Voice is super deep.

[Ryan]

And so it's like, if you're Russian, you're like. Yeah, she's like, bigger than all of us. Like, this is a threat.

[Bo]

Yeah, I can see it.

[Ryan]

Lock her up.

[Bo]

I mean, getting locked up in a foreign country, regardless of the country would be terrible. Yeah. Then this dude's gonna get locked up either in Afghanistan or Russia.

[Ryan]

I'd rather, I guess, get Russia.

[Bo]

So Afghanistan is completely run by the Taliban right now.

[Harry]

Correct.

[Bo]

It's crazy.

[Harry]

That's their government.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Because we pulled out. Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah. But I mean, that was kind of the case before we went in too.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

The Taliban.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

In the 90s, the name just sounds like we just have this automatic correlation with the name Taliban. That's like the spooky thing. As opposed to the word cinnamon bun, which has a lovely correlation. You think of cinnamon bun, it's like one of the most beautiful words in the English language.

[Bo]

What did the Taliban do? What have they. What have tax did they do? They didn't do nothing. Al Qaeda was.

[Harry]

They're not a terrorist group in theory. Right.

[Bo]

Okay.

[Harry]

They're Islamic police force. And they were formed really when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in the late 80s, I'm pretty sure.

[Ryan]

And who armed them?

[Harry]

We did. Oh.

[Bo]

We armed everybody.

[Harry]

We gave them the weapons. There's a great movie about it that. About that senator. What was his name? What's the name of that? Tom Hanks plays him. It's a good movie.

[Ryan]

Rand Paul film.

[Harry]

Philip Seymour Hoffman's in it. Joe something. You know what I'm talking?

[Ryan]

Joe Scarborough. Who's the old one?

[Harry]

The movie with Tom Hanks about the US Congressman or senator who deals with the Soviet Union. Charlie Wilson's War.

[Ryan]

Charlie Wilson.

[Harry]

It's a good movie, actually.

[Bo]

Never even heard of it.

[Harry]

You should watch that.

[Bo]

I'll have to check it out.

[Harry]

And then it was through that, through the Afghan Afghani freedom fighters resisting the Soviet Union, that they basically formed a militant group that became the Taliban.

[Ryan]

What they need is they need to get a consulting firm like Accenture in there to give them an image revamp. And I think even if they just change the colors of their flag, it would do wonders for them. I think their flag is just so ominous looking. It's just a black flag with a little cursive white writing.

[Bo]

That was isis.

[Harry]

No, that's isis, yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, that's isis.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So what's the Taliban flag?

[Harry]

ISIS went with the Arabic equivalent of the skull and crossbones. Yeah. Which to me is pretty spooky.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

It's like, oh, the nwa. Oh, yeah, yeah. They came out. That came out Hollywood Hogan.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Bo]

That could be like on like a. On like a Supreme shirt. Yeah, yeah. It's a box logo.

[Ryan]

Imagine just wearing that. The Taliban flag.

[Harry]

Yeah. But if you wear the logo upside down, it means you're not for it. You think it's cool. You appreciate the street art element of it.

[Ryan]

It's actually sick. Yeah. Okay, so maybe they already had Accenture come through.

[Harry]

Do you guys remember during that time when there were like, it seemed like every six months there was a story of like some 19 year old British girl who had like fallen in love with some.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Harry]

ISIS guy? And she went over there. Yeah. And like went over there because she was like, well, you know, I kind of get their side. And then like three months later, it's like, oh, my God, what have I done? We need to get. There's a GoFundMe to get her back. And then half the country would be like, we don't want her back. It's like, dude, she's 19.

[Bo]

I remember that.

[Harry]

What, you haven't fallen for a terrorist recruitment video on YouTube before? Come on, man.

[Ryan]

I clicked on the Google, I searched it and then I clicked on shopping to see if you could buy a Taliban flag. And there's no. There's just nothing there.

[Bo]

Not surprised by that.

[Ryan]

They wiped it. You can't. You can't even buy.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

To be like a custom now. A listening device.

[Bo]

Absolutely. You definitely just made a list.

[Harry]

Way to go.

[Ryan]

Nice riff, bro. We're just riffing.

[Harry]

Just in case the audio cuts out on our recording, we now have your phone to carry us the rest of the episode.

[Ryan]

Someone's giggling with the NSA right now.

[Harry]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

If Julio can break bread with them. I can't just wave the flag.

[Harry]

I was. Have you ever heard his full story of that night?

[Bo]

No.

[Ryan]

I think I watched the video.

[Harry]

Or maybe we did it on our. On oops pod when he came back. I mean, it's. It is. I. It's one of those things where I'm like, I can't believe you lived through that experience and kept your composure.

[Bo]

Were they like, friendly to him?

[Harry]

It's like a four. It's like a forced friendliness. Yeah. Like you need to accept and be friendly to us because we are all going to play nice around this pretend thing that we're we're not that bad.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

We don't hate America or whatever.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

But he said he entered into this. They. He was pulled over, driving way up north.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And they forced them to turn around and come back. Commander's house.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Which was like hours back in the other direction. And they brought him in and he came into the house and they, like, went into one room and then they went and sat in another room or something. And he said in that second room, he said there were more weapons than he'd ever seen. Like big guns, RPGs.

[Bo]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Harry]

Like, you know, Gatling guns, like, all kinds of crazy.

[Ryan]

I also think that they have different relationships with weapons, though. Like, you can get, like, weapons at, like, the bazaar next to, like, raw meat and fabrics.

[Harry]

Yeah. Well, a lot of the weapons, when the Soviet Union collapsed, ended up filtering through. You could buy aks from like, 47s. Yeah, that movie, Lord of War really does a good. Oh, it's that one, too. Lord of War is really good, too.

[Ryan]

That's the Victor Boot movie.

[Harry]

It's the Nicholas Cage. Have you guys seen Lord of War?

[Bo]

No.

[Harry]

Unbelievable.

[Bo]

Naming these movies that I'm like, that's.

[Ryan]

The guy who traded for Brittney Griner.

[Harry]

Is that right?

[Ryan]

Pretty sure.

[Bo]

Oh, yeah, the Lord of War.

[Harry]

Yeah. Victor.

[Bo]

Yeah. That is who we traded for. Brittney Griner.

[Harry]

Oh, the guy who's the warlord. Yeah. Yes.

[Bo]

No, but I thought. I think that was his nickname was the Lord of War.

[Ryan]

I think so maybe like the Lord.

[Bo]

Of Death or something like that.

[Harry]

Yeah, the mer.

[Bo]

Yeah, the Merchant of Death.

[Harry]

That's from Iron Man. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So he was. So he got brought into the other room. They have a bunch of weapons and.

[Harry]

They just had like a sit down and talk. And then I think, what was the top way out?

[Bo]

Do they speak English?

[Harry]

They. I think they had a translator.

[Ryan]

What's your job? Stand up.

[Bo]

Yeah, tell us a joke.

[Harry]

And then on their way out, they had searched through his stuff, and he had a bag in which was an envelope that had, I think, $10,000 of cash. And they pulled it out and they were like, hey, we have an issue. And one of them. I think. I think. I don't want to butcher the story, but one of them hinted to Julia that they expected a gift, but they couldn't ask for it because I think it's against Islamic law. Or, like, it has to be a donation.

[Bo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

And he's like, ah, fuck, I'm gonna have to give him the whole envelope. And I think that they like pulled out one 100 bill and we're like, okay, go on your way.

[Bo]

Damn.

[Harry]

And he was like, holy. That's all. Something like.

[Bo]

I would have been like. I would have been like. I brought. I brought the envelope for you guys. Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

I'm glad you found it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was a gift.

[Harry]

What money? Oh, I watched.

[Bo]

I would just bring that envelope in with a right on Sharpie for the Taliban.

[Harry]

Do the ISIS logo, dude.

[Ryan]

The best I could. Freehand.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

I watched a lot of movies over the last three or four nights.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

I don't know where. I just got onto a movie kick.

[Bo]

I watched Hurt Locker.

[Harry]

Do you mind?

[Bo]

On the plane.

[Harry]

I'm going to do my movies.

[Bo]

Well, while we're on the topic of war, I just got to let that go.

[Harry]

That's fine. What do you. Phenomenal. It is good. I find it. I find it dissatisfying.

[Bo]

Oh, I love it.

[Ryan]

I think that's probably intentional.

[Harry]

It is the point. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bo]

The ending when he's back out there. Chills.

[Harry]

The best scene in that movie, though.

[Ryan]

Is when the guy is his or that they put the movie in and the guy's like, that's Jarhead.

[Harry]

Jar.

[Bo]

That's a banger. I think Jarhead's better than Hurt Locker.

[Harry]

The best scene in Hurt Lockers when there's. They're getting attacked by the sniper. Yeah. And he has to like, teach the other guy how to snipe.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

The guy who's not the sniper, he gives him the gun. How did you just watched this?

[Bo]

Well, because I think you might have that mixed up.

[Harry]

Is this a different movie?

[Bo]

No, he does know how to snipe, though.

[Harry]

Wait, he doesn't?

[Bo]

Yeah, he does. The black dude.

[Harry]

I thought the black dude was spotting for him.

[Bo]

No, he's spotting.

[Harry]

Jeremy Renner's spotting, but I don't think the black guy is.

[Bo]

The black guy is a massively famous actor, too.

[Harry]

Yeah, it's Guy from Arcane. He's the angel old guy from Iron Man.

[Bo]

Instead of referring it to. To Jeremy and the black guy.

[Ryan]

Well, you don't know who he is either.

[Bo]

I want to pull up his name. Well, Anthony Mackie.

[Harry]

Oh, my God. We weren't in trouble until I said Jeremy. If we had left all the actors nameless, then it would have been fine. It's like, oh, you know, you know, the other rest of the cast, and.

[Bo]

It'S Anthony Mackie, like, so famous multi billionaire. He knows how to snipe. It's the.

[Harry]

Are you sure?

[Bo]

Yeah, but because he Immediately goes for the sniper.

[Harry]

For some reason, I thought he wasn't trained. And they were like, you're the best bet we have here.

[Bo]

I think that scene is so huge because that's the scene where Jeremy is like, he brings the squad together. Like, he becomes the leader.

[Harry]

Well, okay.

[Bo]

And like, everyone's dying around them. And he's like, completely.

[Harry]

Right, right, right.

[Bo]

Such a banger.

[Harry]

Okay, can I tell you a couple good movies? These are really good racks. And by the way, I've already named a couple that you need to see because I know you haven't seen them. Okay. So with. With Jeff D. Lowe's help, by the way, honestly, one of our best resources at Barstool.

[Bo]

Oh, I use that app all the time.

[Harry]

It's not just the app. Go. Go check out the app or the.

[Bo]

The website.

[Harry]

The. The website. Lights, camera, Barstool movie database.

[Bo]

It's like a movie generator.

[Harry]

It's really, really good. And my favorite part is, like, if you like this movie, you might like these ones. These are similar movies, but I checked that first and then I said. And then I just text Jeff and I say, I need a good action movie. I really want to watch a good action movie. He goes, dude, Rebel Ridge.

[Bo]

Oh, yeah, Rebel Ridge fucking rules.

[Harry]

Did you see Rebel?

[Bo]

That movie was on when he's biking. The boss.

[Harry]

Okay, that. That scene sucked.

[Bo]

That scene was awesome.

[Harry]

No, that's talking about was the corniest scene when he's biking next to the bus. I almost turned it off after that scene, and I'm very glad I stuck with it.

[Bo]

That's crazy. What are you talking about?

[Harry]

Nobody can bike by a bus. He can't. He's on a mountain bike. He's not even on a road by the ridge.

[Bo]

Can.

[Harry]

No way, man.

[Ryan]

Is there a black guy in the movie?

[Bo]

All the inmates are pounding on the.

[Harry]

Glass, yet there's a state department of corrections facility. Bus driver who knows he's there, and he's like, I should probably go faster. He could easily accelerate a. I don't.

[Bo]

Think you can out.

[Harry]

A guy on a bike.

[Bo]

I don't think you can out.

[Ryan]

So what's the movie about? A guy who has an envelope of $10,000 that he needs to bring somewhere. And then the local government takes out a single hundred dollar bill.

[Harry]

It's actually 30,000, and they take the whole thing because they're racist. Have you seen the movie?

[Ryan]

No.

[Harry]

It's really, really good.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Harry]

It's really.

[Bo]

I don't know if I would say it's really, really good. It's very fun.

[Harry]

I kept waiting for it to be dumb. Corny bus scene.

[Bo]

The bus scene is the best. I can't like it.

[Harry]

I kept waiting for it to be dumb, but it never got dumb. And the writing was solid. It was tight.

[Bo]

Yeah, It's a banger.

[Harry]

Really.

[Bo]

Is great.

[Harry]

Great ending. So I liked Rebel Ridge. And then I watched a movie called Sovereign.

[Bo]

Sovereign.

[Harry]

Not many people have seen this movie.

[Bo]

What is it about?

[Harry]

Sovereign is about a father and a son who basically, the dad believes that. That the government is a bad actor, an opposing force, and that it's our job here in America to sort of take back our rights and all this. And he has a completely stupid reading or interpretation of, like, the Constitution.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

But he thinks he's smart, so he thinks that, like, he doesn't have to pay his mortgage to the bank because the bank. He never.

[Ryan]

It's about. It's about sovereign citizens. Is that what it's about? Like, people who claim sovereign citizenship?

[Harry]

Yes.

[Ryan]

That's amazing. I love watching videos about them.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Isn't that, like, lds?

[Ryan]

No, it's like people who are, like, get pulled over and they're like, I'm a traveler.

[Harry]

That's exactly. That's exactly what he says. Yeah. Calls himself a traveler.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's like a way of, like, life. It's like people who think they have, like, a loophole in the Constitution. Well, like, you can't impede my. My will to travel.

[Harry]

He thinks he's. By the way, I'm pretty confident that this movie is based on a true story.

[Bo]

And have you guys ever seen the under the Banner of Heaven?

[Ryan]

No.

[Bo]

Jack Krakauer, John Krakow. John Krakauer. Or read the book.

[Harry]

It's about the Mormons.

[Bo]

About the Mormons. I'm pretty sure they do that in that, too. Like, they're like, we don't pay taxes.

[Ryan]

I mean, it makes sense because they're a church.

[Bo]

But no, like, they have to.

[Harry]

It's Nick.

[Bo]

Off. They get.

[Harry]

Nick Offerman is the actor in the. In the movie in Sovereign. And he's with his son. Yeah. And his son is trying to kind of, I don't know, figure out if he should distance himself from his father's crazy viewpoints or. And, like, re. Engage and get into public school and all that. Or just, like, keep traveling around with him and buy in and I'll leave it there.

[Ryan]

But cops hate dudes like this. They're like, you can. I'll watch the videos of them. They're like, yeah, we got a sovereign citizen. They're like so over it. Because these dudes are so hard to deal with from a police point.

[Harry]

They are anti cop. And I would say just like in Rebel Ridge, this is a movie where it is these two guys, the father and the son versus the police.

[Ryan]

And they call cops like tyrants.

[Bo]

Like you. Tyrant.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Try to impose the will. Bootlicker.

[Harry]

Dude, it's really a really good movie. So I watched those two. Those are both.

[Ryan]

Those are 94 and 95 on Rotten Tomatoes, but also low. Kind of low on IMDb. Like 6.4, 6.5 on IMDb, 6.4, 6.5 isn't terrible.

[Bo]

My cutoff is usually 6. Well, I mean, depending on the type of movie though. Because like a six for a comedy is not bad.

[Ryan]

I don't even need a movie to be good. I just need it to make sense.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, just take me on a journey that I can like. I'm not gonna be like, come on.

[Bo]

Yeah, you don't have to pull up the Wikipedia. What actually happened in this movie.

[Harry]

Okay. Speaking of that, the last movie I watched was a movie called. Oh my God, I'm gonna forget.

[Ryan]

No, you're not, bro. It's gonna come to you.

[Harry]

It's Korean movie.

[Bo]

Parasite. DD.

[Harry]

No, older. 2004 old boy. Yes.

[Ryan]

The best of all time Old Boy. Maybe a top 10 movie of all time.

[Harry]

Holy. This movie.

[Ryan]

Holy shit.

[Bo]

I've heard of it though, bro.

[Harry]

Holy shit.

[Bo]

Yeah, that's good.

[Harry]

This movie. I was shaking.

[Bo]

You have to translate it though. You gotta read.

[Ryan]

Doesn't matter for this movie. I'm usually not a big reader for this movie. It doesn't matter. There's. It's the best action sequences. Like the. Just like the look of everything. Like, isn't there a scene where he's just like eating eel or something like that?

[Harry]

He's like, yeah, but it's like octopus.

[Ryan]

Octopus. But even just the sounds nasty.

[Harry]

Live octopus.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the movie is.

[Harry]

So there's some gore to it, but. But I don't know.

[Ryan]

Good action.

[Harry]

Great action. Incredible fight choreography. There's a very famous scene, a fight scene in a hallway. It was all one shot. And this is 2004. So this was before, like every director was doing that one long uncut shot. Yeah, in the. In the, In a movie. But dude, unbelievable. Crazy twist. Just sick. So I would say any of those three, if I were to tell you, since you haven't seen any of them or you saw Rebel Ridge, for our listeners out there, Rebel Ridge is like light hearted. You can watch it and not Be too twisted up afterwards. Sovereign's a little bit more like heavy reading, but very well acted, kind of pretty thoughtful, very interesting. And then old boy is like, prepare to have your brain.

[Ryan]

That's Park Chan Wook at the director.

[Bo]

I'll check that out.

[Harry]

Parasite.

[Ryan]

No, no. Park Chan Wook is. That's Bong Joon Ho.

[Harry]

You're thinking Bong Joon Ho.

[Ryan]

Bong Joon Ho is Parasite. Park Chan Wook is. Oh, boy. Of course. You knew that, though.

[Bo]

Yeah, I knew that.

[Harry]

You know who I was thinking about earlier today? Speaking of names like that? We used to. Do you remember? I think it was the 96 Women's World Cup. Maybe it was 99. We went to see China play at Foxborough. I think they were playing against Sweden at the star of the Chinese women's national soccer team. Was soon when. Really? Which sounds like a question and answer in the wrong order.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it really does. Soon when? Now.

[Bo]

Dude, I got my. My lips are sunburned.

[Harry]

We couldn't afford to see the American team. We went to see China versus Sweden.

[Ryan]

That's kind of at Gillette.

[Harry]

No, it wasn't Gillette then. It was Foxborough.

[Ryan]

Dude, I want to go. I want to go to the World cup and Olympics in the US So bad. You should okay it. I'll do it.

[Bo]

That'd be sick.

[Harry]

This podcast is brought to you by Game time.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we should all. We should. I mean, it'll be fun to all go together. Maybe the boys. Maybe take. Take my young son.

[Harry]

So. Yeah.

[Bo]

Yeah, take the boys out.

[Harry]

Yeah, perfect.

[Ryan]

They could probably get in for free or something. Probably strap them to my body like some C4. Strap them under my shirt in a fat suit like I'm Brendan Frazier. Call back.

[Bo]

You guys watch the EWC at all?

[Harry]

I felt bad for interrupting your sunburnt lips.

[Bo]

That's really nothing. I was just saying because it's been bothering me.

[Ryan]

They don't look sunburned.

[Bo]

They're. Dude, it's so painful.

[Harry]

You gotta go Aquaphor.

[Bo]

I've been layering up on Aquaphor at night.

[Ryan]

And not only on the lips. You need to, like, do like a.

[Bo]

Ring around the lips. Ring around the Rosie.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Which is a song about slavery.

[Harry]

Yeah. We all fall down. Yeah. Because they burn the bodies.

[Bo]

Did you guys watch the ewc?

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was so good.

[Bo]

It's amazing.

[Harry]

I'm sorry, what is that?

[Bo]

Esports World cup in Saudi Arabia.

[Harry]

Didn't watch it.

[Bo]

Optic 1, back to back. Greatest team of all time. Summer sign.

[Ryan]

Shout out to my bros On Optic. I mean, they need that. They like. Eventually it's going to need to be a salary cap situation kind of.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because you just. If you can just gather the best talent.

[Bo]

There's really three teams in the league that can get the best talent. And then every other team is like decent, but like they're not gonna be.

[Ryan]

It would be a great story if they.

[Bo]

I mean there are.

[Ryan]

But like if the boys could like put cobble together like some kind of.

[Bo]

Well, that's the thing that's cool about it is the, the tournament style is there's. There's Call of Duty pros in the CDL and then there's this thing called the Challengers, which is like anyone can be in it. It's like amateurs and there's teams and you just scrimmage against other minor league teams and they get pulled up into the pros. But in the tournaments like this, it's like a bracket and the challengers teams can go play in the tournament. Getting against the pro teams.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Right.

[Ryan]

Group of friends.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And they.

[Bo]

One of the teams, one of the challengers teams, I believe beat knocked out one of the pro teams.

[Ryan]

That's. That's literally. That should have a Disney movie.

[Bo]

Isn't that insane? It's pretty.

[Ryan]

The most boring movie of all time. No, they should have.

[Bo]

You guys are missing out. It's like this is top tier entertainment.

[Ryan]

I think it is. I watched it.

[Bo]

No, you didn't.

[Ryan]

All right, stop calling me out. It's like literally not your business.

[Bo]

It's genuinely like I'm all. I'm awful. I'm all in. And I. I kind of want to get involved.

[Ryan]

Can we get merch from them? Can we buy some optic merch?

[Bo]

I've already. I bought. I already bought my back to back champs shirt. Mooc bought his. Mooc bought the EWC because Mook's like in with these guys.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bo]

It pisses me off who has him.

[Ryan]

Scump has him as his Abby.

[Bo]

Yeah. Because so this dude, Skump, he's like the greatest Call of Duty player of all time.

[Harry]

Yeah. I love scum.

[Bo]

I started watching Skump when I was in like third grade and. And he looks like Mook. Like him and Mook have the same face pretty much. And is this the shirt you got? I don't know. I haven't gotten it back to back yet.

[Ryan]

17 on 17, 24, 25 on the back. I mean, the shirt is cold as hell.

[Bo]

I think it is the one I got. It's awesome. I'm pumped. But it's on. It's on. It won't be here for months.

[Ryan]

I like how the cut of is like, it's clearly a gamer cut.

[Bo]

It's clearly for fat dudes.

[Ryan]

It's a boxy.

[Harry]

Boxy.

[Bo]

Yeah, bro. I was looking at all their shirts and I was like, this is what I've been looking for forever.

[Ryan]

It's Taylor for the gamer body. It's boxy as hell.

[Harry]

That is a boxy shirt, dude.

[Ryan]

Wide bodied shirt.

[Bo]

I gotta get involved though. Like, I want to start. I gotta like, I want to get. I want to get. I want to dive in. How I want to be like.

[Ryan]

Do it through barstool.

[Bo]

I know.

[Ryan]

I mean, Hitch was like, you should do like.

[Bo]

I want to be like. Like. I don't. Obviously I'm not ever. I'm not a. I'm not gonna play Call of Duty.

[Harry]

No, you're not good.

[Bo]

I'm not good. But. But I love it and I love watching this. Like, I love watching the competitive events. Like it's. And it's getting bigger. It's sick.

[Harry]

This is so cool. What an unbelievable maturation moment this is for me. I know you have shifted from being this, I would say very sort of outspoken, kind of arrogant, Call of Duty participant to fan and humble about your ability.

[Bo]

No, I'm not humble about my ability at all.

[Harry]

You just said you're not good, which is true.

[Bo]

I was kidding. I'm fucking amazing at the game.

[Harry]

Oh, boy.

[Bo]

I've never been so good at a video game.

[Harry]

Shouldn't have said anything.

[Bo]

The people I play against are really good too. So it's not like it's hard, you know? Yeah, but when you're playing against. When you're playing against Crimson Diamonds all.

[Ryan]

Day, bro, look at what Hitch said to me, bro. He wants to do this Madden Tournament. Who?

[Bo]

Hitch said this.

[Ryan]

Hitch hit me up and he was like, we should do. You could read it.

[Bo]

Whoa.

[Harry]

Let's do a Madden barstool tournament with creators and red zone it on barstool.

[Ryan]

It's a good idea by Hitch.

[Harry]

And then he said, tim on Cowboys, skump on Eagles. It could be huge. Barstool is the host brands would go stupid for it. While I have you here, can you send dick or ass picks? Come on.

[Ryan]

And don't. Well, just don't show what I sent.

[Bo]

Can I see this?

[Harry]

I don't think you want to see it. You're never going to see Rome the same way.

[Ryan]

The fact that you could see my dick and ass or the fact that I'm actually Tapped in with the bros, you'd have to play as the Patriots. Are you green with jealous rage?

[Bo]

I am, yeah. But I would definitely do that.

[Ryan]

It's crazy that everybody around you is tapping.

[Bo]

He's fucking insane, dude. I'm like the only one. Like, I watch religious. I watch every single match.

[Harry]

I'm gonna reach out to them and.

[Ryan]

They'Re like, like, you gotta reach out to Tim.

[Harry]

Anyone that Harry wants to be friends with. I want to wait.

[Bo]

Let me show you this, because I got. I took a photo of it yesterday because I'm watching. I'm like, just trying to enjoy my Sunday.

[Harry]

The coveted friend of my friend is my coveted friend.

[Bo]

So, like, they do a watch party of the tournament, these three dudes, and when they go away from, like, camera to go to the bathroom or something, they put. They'll put something on screen, like a funny photo of them. And for Skump, they just use this photo. And it's of Mook hungover in Miami.

[Harry]

Wow, they really do love him.

[Bo]

It's crazy.

[Harry]

That's amazing. Is that because when you guys all play like, he's the best one in the group?

[Bo]

Yes, Mook.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Moocs a gold three. I'm sorry, the stats don't lie.

[Harry]

I'm better than what's gold 3?

[Bo]

That's his rank.

[Harry]

And what are you?

[Bo]

Plat 3. Is there to be diamond wand?

[Harry]

Oh, is there? Is. There is diamond.

[Ryan]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Bo]

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it too, to be honest.

[Ryan]

More dedication.

[Harry]

Well, speaking of ranks, quick, quick thing here. My handicap in golf dropped 1.9 this weekend.

[Ryan]

How?

[Bo]

Damn.

[Harry]

I had the best round of my life. And then the next day I had an An. Also a very good round.

[Bo]

What'd you shoot?

[Ryan]

Where were you?

[Bo]

This is a member guest.

[Harry]

No, that's next weekend, remember? And this is bad. My handicap right before the Plummeted right before the member guess. Yeah, it's not good.

[Ryan]

You shouldn't have submitted.

[Harry]

But it is a testament to my.

[Bo]

Make some calls, get you some Adderall.

[Harry]

That I put my scores in.

[Bo]

Oh, definitely.

[Harry]

Because this is gonna fuck me for the memory. Guest. But it is what it is. People who withhold scores like that, that's where you get called out. Yeah, like people at my club would have known that because I. I told everyone.

[Bo]

Yeah, of course. What did you shoot?

[Harry]

The first time I shot 73, was.

[Bo]

That under or one over?

[Harry]

It's par is 71 in my course. But I'll tell you quickly about it. I'LL tell this quickly because I know it's boring. To rehash golf. I shot three under on the front nine.

[Bo]

Damn.

[Harry]

I birdied four, five, six, seven.

[Bo]

Jesus.

[Harry]

I had four birdies in a row. I've never had more than two in a row.

[Bo]

Yeah. So where was the bogey mixed in one.

[Harry]

I bogeyed one, which is one of the easiest holes on the course. So brutal. But I wasn't even thinking it was going to be a good round that. That point. I wasn't that, like, focused at my home course.

[Bo]

I. It was par five, whole one, always starting. I don't think I ever didn't start out with an eight.

[Harry]

So, yeah, I'm three under through front. The front nine.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And I'm like, starting. Then I pard 10, 11, 12, 13. And I'm like, oh, no, now. Now I'm thinking I'm going to shoot 60.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Eight.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

My best score ever is 73. I've shot 73 a few times. I'm like, well, that's. That's toast. I'm gonna beat that. It's just a question of whether I beat it by four or five strokes. Yeah.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

As soon as I had that thought crumbled. Terrible shot on 14 approach. Ended up short of the green. Putted because I was scared of chunking a wedge. Hit it past the hole. Now I have a down hill putt. I miss it. So I get a bogey and I'm like, all right, whatever. I'm still two under. There's only four holes to go. 15, 16, 7. Or that was. Yeah, that was 14, 15, 16.

[Ryan]

So you collapsed 15.

[Harry]

I end up short side on the greens of par three. Chip it down. Can't get close. And then I three putted for a double. Oh, Now I rumble. Now I'm even. Yeah.

[Bo]

The foundation.

[Ryan]

These are Trent behaviors.

[Harry]

I pard 16 and missed a. A very easy birdie putt, which rattled me. 17. I bogeyed another par three. 18. I'm on the green and two. It's a par five, and I three putted for par.

[Bo]

Oh, the short game fell apart.

[Harry]

It's. It was really like. I don't even know what's meant it all. Yeah, it's like. It's like, okay, let's. We. We have to get back to the norm.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

We're playing too well. This is normal. Let's. Let's not misbehave here. And I just tighten up and freak out. And.

[Ryan]

Who are you with?

[Harry]

I was playing with my buddy Corey.

[Ryan]

Ooh.

[Harry]

We Played through a group of like four really good looking, like 19 year old boys.

[Ryan]

How good?

[Harry]

They were all shirtless.

[Bo]

Really.

[Harry]

And so I say this because if anyone would doubt my score, they watched me chip in for my first birdie on four. And then we played through them on the par five they had all already hit. And I stuck my tee shot on the par five to a foot. Almost made a hole in one. So there's my second birdie and they watch both of those. So those boys could corroborate.

[Ryan]

What kind of course is this that lets the hot boys walk around shirtless?

[Harry]

It's low key. It's low key.

[Ryan]

I mean it's a little too low.

[Harry]

Key for me that I birdie.

[Bo]

That would never fly at my course.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that sounds like a little public course. Old master.

[Bo]

No shoes, no shirt, no service.

[Harry]

So I shot 73 and that brought my handicap from 6.0 down to like 4.7. And then yesterday I shot 76 and that brought it down from 4.7 to 4.1. And now I don't even know what who the I am.

[Bo]

Sounds like you need to go out there and just blow up.

[Harry]

But you need to blow up so many times.

[Bo]

I think what you gotta do is tonight you gotta just black out.

[Harry]

Right?

[Bo]

Just get face.

[Harry]

I don't drink on Mondays.

[Bo]

It doesn't matter. You're drinking tonight. Faced out of your like full bottle of scotch. Tea time, 5am you need to just to reset. Yeah, just to reset the handicap. Get those points back.

[Harry]

Dude. When I. I was playing my buddy Corey, we was play for money and we were playing a pretty expensive round.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And like the. A week before he had beaten me for 250 bucks. Bucks.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And so when I made the third birdie and then the fourth, we stopped talking. Like I was pitching a perfect game. Like he, he understood what was happening and we're cool enough and like even though I'm taking him for money, it's like he's rooting for me still. And John Rom has the course record at my club. He played it once, just went out, never seen the course before. Shot 59. Yeah.

[Bo]

Yeah. So it's insane.

[Harry]

It's preposterous.

[Bo]

There was a. I think I saw a video recently of Scotty Scheffler at his home course. Shot like 20 under.

[Harry]

Yeah. It just puts everything in perspective. It's outrageous.

[Bo]

It is insane.

[Harry]

So I'm. I'm thinking pretty good. Well, I'm three under on the front. I only need nine more birdies on the back. To tie John. It's not unheard of. There's two par fives. I eagle them both. Both. Then I can afford a couple pars.

[Bo]

59 is what it's on.

[Harry]

71, it's 12 under, 12 under, 12 under.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

About to make a rom com. Damn.

[Harry]

Anyway, that's my golf story.

[Ryan]

That's. That's. You got to feel pretty good about that. But you yourself, for the member, guest, and now everybody. At least I. People know.

[Harry]

I don't feel good about it because that 73 was as bad as it could.

[Ryan]

So what's the handicap right now?

[Harry]

Now it's 4.1, but I was 6.0 a week ago.

[Bo]

Yeah, you're in trouble, so.

[Harry]

I'm not really. I shouldn't be. I don't think I'm a 4.1. I'm probably more like a five and a half or something.

[Bo]

You're in trouble for that. Member, guest.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Let me tell you.

[Ryan]

You got to get me and Sass out there to carry the bags.

[Harry]

Come on, now.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Fish. Well, Caddy, this is the season they're biting. They're biting on anything.

[Bo]

I don't know if they are. Season of the sticks in the east.

[Ryan]

The.

[Bo]

I'll tell you what. The fishing out west was. Was significantly harder this time than it was.

[Harry]

How many total fish did you catch?

[Bo]

I have no clue.

[Harry]

Oh, you lost count? It was that many?

[Bo]

Well, you just catch so many small, tiny fish, like, because with fly fishing, it's like, all trout eat the same stuff. They just eat bugs. So it's like. Or they eat bait fish. So it's like. If you throw a dry fly, you could get a huge fish. Well, but you could also get, like. You'll literally see, like, minnows trying to eat your dry fly. Oh, so it's like you're gonna cat small fish because they're all eating the same thing. It's more about just.

[Ryan]

You still tire out the minnows.

[Bo]

No, those are a problem because you set the hook, and they fly out.

[Harry]

Of the water and nothing would come along to eat them.

[Bo]

Bigger fish.

[Harry]

That's what I'm wondering.

[Bo]

I caught a fish on a streamer, and another fish was trying to eat it while I had it on.

[Harry]

That's what I'm saying.

[Bo]

Yeah. But it was like. I don't know if it was trying to eat it or if it was like. Like it was following it. Like, they were circling each other, like, while I had this fish hooked. But the fish that was. That I caught was, like, probably like, this big. And the one that was trying to eat it was probably, like, this big. So I was like, that's not. You're gonna eat a fish that's like, three inches shorter than you?

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

That's already hooked.

[Ryan]

That's why you can't really feel bad about killing fish, because they're gonna kill you.

[Bo]

Yeah. I mean, if I saw that fish eat that other fish, it would have been the most insane thing I've ever witnessed. It would have been like watching a snake swallow a human.

[Ryan]

I just saw a video of that.

[Harry]

I. I did, too, but it wasn't true. They were like, look, here's an anaconda eating a woman. And it's like, no, this was an anaconda eating two goats.

[Bo]

I think I saw that because survived, didn't they?

[Harry]

Yeah. Well. And the truth was, the reason the anaconda was so unhappy was because. Because the horns of the goat were puncturing the inside of its stomach. And then the reason people figured this out, that it wasn't eating a woman was because the snake was in a goat shack. And people were like, she lives in there.

[Bo]

That's what I thought.

[Ryan]

I was like, that's her apartment.

[Harry]

That's the smallest house I ever saw.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Bo]

I don't fuck with snakes whatsoever. And I definitely don't fuck with spiders.

[Ryan]

Snakes do not bother me at all.

[Bo]

Snakes might be above spiders for me, to be honest. Like, big snakes. Oh, my God. I didn't even tell you guys about the moose.

[Harry]

Oh, dude.

[Bo]

Fucking moose, dude. I mean, this was the most. Speaking of. We were talking about screaming, like, this was the most scared. I've been, like, genuine fear in so long. Day one, where we go into, like, art. We get to, like, the access point, and we're, like, walking in, and I'm fishing up front. We're kind of like. Like. Like, leapfrogging each other, and I'm, like, fishing up front, and I'm walking forward, and a massive moose with a baby comes into the river. Like, from me to, like, that pictures of it. Hell no, dude. I turned around and got that. You got to get the hell out of there. When. If you see a moose will kill you you. Yeah, if you see a baby, you gotta go.

[Harry]

They'll stomp on you. So river dance on you.

[Bo]

So we're like, all right. Not a huge deal. We, like. We've seen moose before. We're like, all right, we're just gonna have to cut out and go around them, figure it out. So we cut out, and then when we're cutting out. Bow's walking in front. The dad appears out of nowhere. I'm talking, like, 12ft tall.

[Harry]

Have you seen my wife, dude?

[Bo]

Flies out. Flies out of the woods. Like, me just sitting there, just. Just staring at us. And then we're like, all right, let's go way out. Like, let's get the fuck away from these moose. And we go out. Three more appear as we're coming out. They have you surrounded, dude. Six moose were looking at us.

[Ryan]

Sounds like a jubilee video.

[Bo]

It was insane. I got some. I'll show you the. This is like, I took this photo when I walked a little further.

[Ryan]

Six moose would scare the fuck out of me.

[Harry]

It was.

[Ryan]

I'm way more scared of moose than snakes.

[Harry]

Wow. While Harry's looking that up, I just want to put out a quick call.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. This is like buffalo.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

I am on the hunt for some wild venison meat. I would really like to source some wild game meat. I love venison, elk, moose. I know you can't buy these things at butchers. You can get venison, but it's always made on a deer farm or whatever. I want the wild stuff, okay. I want lice crawling around the fillets. I want the deer to have diseases that I can possibly get, so I have to boil the meat first. I want wild cuts, okay? If anyone out there hunts whatever, and can send me a freezer, some frozen moose meat or deer meat, I want it. I'll pay for it.

[Ryan]

The deer. Look at Sydney like Benjamin Netanyahu. They're like, oh, she's committing a genocide out here.

[Bo]

You guys see Nelk on. See Netanyahu on Nelk, of course.

[Ryan]

Did you hear his crazy take about Burger King?

[Harry]

Dude?

[Ryan]

He said burger king over McDonald's.

[Harry]

Dude.

[Bo]

That video, like, I watched that. I actually watched. I didn't. I didn't watch that, but I, like, skimmed it. And then I watched the stream. The stream after. On the plane flying to Denver. I watched, like, an hour of it, and it was unreal.

[Ryan]

They were just like. Just like, humiliation ritual.

[Bo]

It was a full humiliation ritual.

[Harry]

What does that mean? What do you mean?

[Bo]

Just like, the Nelk boys were on with, like, Hassan Piker and, like, Adam Friedland. Like, all these, like, super.

[Ryan]

But also, like, Nick Fuentes and Sneako. Like, the very left wing, very right wing, all pro Palestine people who were like, you've up. You've made like you had a war criminal.

[Harry]

They got drinking podcast.

[Bo]

Yeah. And they were like, would you. They were like, that's pretty much the Equivalent of interviewing, like, Hitler. And they were like. And we would. They were like, we would interview Hitler.

[Ryan]

It's like, dude, no, we want to get both sides.

[Bo]

Yeah. You wouldn't. You're just saying that because you backed yourself into a hole. Now you have to act like you're this, like. It's so funny when people get in trouble online and then they come. They try to act like they're this, like, freedom fighter. Like, well, no, we're just trying to get the input from all side. You're trying to make money, dude.

[Ryan]

See what everyone.

[Bo]

We're all trying to just put out a good podcast and get paid. You're not trying to like. It's not like the Nelk boys were interested. Interested to hear Netanyahu's pov.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Because they were asking him about Burger King. Yeah, burger king over McDonald's.

[Harry]

How much did they talk about what's happening?

[Bo]

They didn't talk. Everything they talked about was like, hit. Just Netanyahu lying.

[Ryan]

They were like. They're like, what. What do you think about the fact that people say that the Palestinians are being starved? And he's like, well, give them food and they're actually starving themselves.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

He was like, insane.

[Ryan]

Hamas is actually the one starving them.

[Bo]

Yeah. And then they're like, really?

[Ryan]

Like, oh, I never thought about it like that. Wow.

[Harry]

Well, okay, so just a hypothetical, right? And I agree. I think it's crazy that, like, comedians and goofball podcasters are having, like.

[Bo]

I just don't understand what the point.

[Harry]

Of it stayed on. But my question would be if they had, let's say, I don't know, the. The leader of, like, the plo, Right? Or like, the fatah, the more peaceful governing group that is. That never wins because Hamas always wins on to be the other voice. Like, would you think that that was a good thing to do or.

[Bo]

No, I don't think people that are under. Qualified to be talking to these people should be having any of.

[Harry]

Yeah, I. I kind of agree with that.

[Bo]

I don't think. I don't think any comedians should be having Trump on their podcast. I don't understand. No one's ever tuned in to Theo Vaughn and Andrew Schultz and been like, man, I wish this guy was talking to Trump right now. That would be a good listen.

[Harry]

No, true. But I do think that they ask questions of those politicians that CNN doesn't like. For Theo Vaughn to talk to Trump, even though Trump didn't weigh in on it about cocaine, is kind of a fascinating thing, I suppose.

[Bo]

I just think it's so. It's such a sensitive subject and it's like real life. Like, it's real world problems. I don't think it's something that comedians need to be involved in those.

[Harry]

You think they kind of.

[Bo]

And I think it.

[Harry]

I almost.

[Bo]

No, I think it's strictly for money. I don't. There's no, no one could convince me that any of these comedians are having like, like major politicians on for, like, content.

[Harry]

Or to educators.

[Ryan]

Well, I think they're having them on for views. And views equals money.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah, for sure.

[Bo]

But it's like, why, like, if, if we got an offer and that was like, do you want to have yet? And Yahoo. On your podcast, we would be like, why? Why would we want to do that?

[Harry]

That's not what our podcast schedule.

[Bo]

Yeah, it's a comedy podcast.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Bo]

I don't know. I mean, I. I can't tell anyone what to do with their platform.

[Harry]

No, you're right. I mean, my issue with that. That wouldn't be so much that we were platforming BB Netanyahu more. Be that. I don't know how we can make that funny.

[Bo]

Yeah, exactly. But that's what we're trying to do is be funny.

[Harry]

Correct.

[Bo]

Rather than, like, I, I don't know, maybe people do listen to podcasts like that and think that. But I've never listened to a comedy podcast and been like, I'd love to hear this guy sit down with a dictator.

[Harry]

Is there. Is there? But, but, dude, here's the. Here's the problem is that, like, people, People do think Trump's funny.

[Bo]

Yeah, but he's not funny on podcasts because it's all fucking scripted bullshit. Like when he goes on a podcast, it's like when Dave interviewed him, he said he had sheets of notes that it was. You're only allowed to ask these questions. So it's like, that's just. At that point, we're just watching 60 Minutes. You just missed your episode of.

[Harry]

No, I know. I was trying to. I'm playing devil's advocate a little bit. I agree with you. I just trying to think if there is a world leader or somebody who, who, if we had them on, would be funny and we could, like, spitball with and they would come into our town.

[Bo]

I don't think we could. Like who.

[Harry]

That's what I'm wondering.

[Ryan]

Gaddafi would have been good.

[Bo]

Mussolini.

[Harry]

The obvious answer is actually Zelensky, because he was. Wasn't he a comedian? Yeah, Zelensky, but he's not going to be funny. Yeah.

[Bo]

He's also, like, a buffoon.

[Ryan]

George Bush. George Bush, I think would be funny.

[Bo]

There you go.

[Harry]

Maybe retired politicians, but even then, it's.

[Bo]

Like, if we had George Bush on, I genuinely believe, like, we would. Our actual listeners would be like, this episode sucks. They'd be like, why are we. Why did you guys do this?

[Harry]

No, actually, we could ask him funny questions.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but no, no, actually politicize any. Like that when as soon as you have a politician on. On, it's automatically politicized, and, like, your detractors and their detractors will hate it, and the people who love them will be like, you're the goats for having them on. Yeah, but. And I do see the value of, like, a common person asking questions of a politician not framed through the lens of mainstream media, but I don't think that that's what a lot of people are trying to do.

[Bo]

No, I don't either. Like, I just get.

[Ryan]

I don't know.

[Bo]

I'm just getting annoyed with all, like, these people who are, like. Like, trying to convince everyone that they're this, like. Actually, I think outside of the. I think a little differently.

[Harry]

Yeah, I. I agree with you, but I also think that that doesn't apply to everyone. Right.

[Ryan]

If.

[Harry]

If these comedian podcasters are claiming the reason they had them on was to. And I'll show different points of view or whatever, and. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Bo]

That's.

[Ryan]

That.

[Bo]

That's pretty much my point.

[Harry]

Every other guest that any podcast has ever had on is for the express purpose of engagement, 100. I'm having this person on because I believe this episode will do well.

[Bo]

There's a difference between, like, us having war mode on and Nelk having.

[Harry]

No, I know that. I know that. I'm saying, I. Are you sure that Andrew Schultz wouldn't be like, yeah, we had Trump on because we knew the episode would be huge? No, I'm not.

[Bo]

I mean, I'm assuming that is what it was, but I. I'm.

[Harry]

Would he say that, though? Though?

[Bo]

Oh, I have no idea. I'm sure. I don't know if he would or if he wouldn't, but if he did, I would be like, I understand that, but I don't agree with it.

[Harry]

Fair enough.

[Bo]

Because those pod. Those podcasts, they get millions of views anyways.

[Harry]

Yeah, but that's just. Then. Then you're getting into the, like, why do you need any more money Argument.

[Bo]

I don't know. I think it's like, if you don't.

[Ryan]

Think Compton asked good questions of Trump.

[Bo]

Yeah, I Just think it's. People are crossing into a territory that they are not experienced in. And I think it's dumb.

[Harry]

Dumb.

[Bo]

I think it's dumb because people are listening to it. Being like, this is fascinating.

[Harry]

Yeah. Well, then that does come down to. Is the interviewer actually good? Speaking of which, I've been listening to Acquired. Do you know that pod?

[Bo]

No.

[Harry]

It's pretty big. It's about businesses. These two guys that just do tons and tons of research. They only put out one episode a month.

[Bo]

Dang.

[Harry]

Only like six episodes a year. And they just research a business forever and then present it.

[Ryan]

Do they know how much they're missing out on ad revenue? Must not be good business.

[Harry]

They make a lot of money. They sold out Radio City.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Harry]

Yeah. They interviewed Jamie Dimon at Radio City. And they're just really good at presenting businesses. So I listened. Right now I'm listening to the Google one and I listen to the Hermes one. Yeah, it's all really interesting. So just recommend that as a pod, if you're interested. I know it's a huge pod, so it's like, I've never.

[Bo]

I've never.

[Harry]

You guys ever heard of the Joe Rogan Experience? Anyway, that's our episode.

[Bo]

Yeah. Thank you guys for listening. We'll see you on Thursday.

[Harry]

And next week we will have on Vladimir Putin. Stay tuned.
