Okay, guys, it's Grit week. This is the part of the football calendar where nobody's watching, but everything gets built. Early mornings, pads back on, conditioning, film reps. Spring training in football is all about putting in the work when nobody's cheering yet. And honestly, that's the same mindset behind the Chevy Silverado. This is a truck that is the definition of grit. Long days, dirty work, and showing up day after day, no matter the conditions. Strong, dependable, and built for the grind. Because grit isn't about being flashy. It's about being ready when it's time to go. Check out the current offers and build your Silverado at Chevy. And that Silverado, all grit, no quit. And you can build your [e-mail] today.

Welcome back to the Son of a Boy dad podcast. We are back from fish week and everything else we've returned. We're here.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

How you guys doing?

[Dave]

Did I tell you that I went on to Houston and from fish week?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

And the, the shows were. Were a grind.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Crowds were nice, but it was lightly attended. And then the room acoustically was just a vacuum. There were carpets everywhere. It was the most, like, muffled. I mean, any noise was just soft.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

So I felt as if I was practicing my set to myself.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

Like I was rehearsing to a wall at times. And I knew it was bad when all the DMS that I got after were like, hey, man, I don't know what was up with those people. We thought you were funny.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, that's the worst sor about that crowd. Yeah, you know, we thought it was Gil.

[Dave]

Must have been a whole bunch of Gen Z people or something. My wife and I had a great time.

[Adam]

Oh, man.

[Dave]

Anyway, so do they like Mook at least? Well, there was one show where I didn't do particularly well and I came off and I was like, mooc. They were terrible. Right. And he's like, oh, no. I thought pretty Good. I'm like, you need to lie in this situation. You work for me tonight. Free fruitcake. Affirmative beliefs. Yeah. But then there was another one where he didn't do as well and I did. Okay.

[Adam]

How pumped were you when you. When he didn't do well?

[Dave]

Finally I didn't have a root against him. I mean, I had a ball with Mook. Mook was hysterical.

[Francis Ellis]

I heard he got off early on the first show. Yeah, he did five minutes.

[Dave]

Five minutes early. I was literally like walking into the bathroom.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And the host was like, ah, come out.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And then he was like, yeah. I don't know what happened, dude. I just forgot a whole bunch of bits. Dude, you're only doing 20, you know. Anyway, but the best part with Mook, it just me observing him was what cracked me up.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

You know, he, he thinks he, like, lives in a healthy way.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

And he doesn't at all.

[Francis Ellis]

What is he, what was he doing?

[Dave]

Well, you know, like he was. We were going to go to the movies. We went and saw Project Hail Mary.

[Francis Ellis]

I heard.

[Dave]

Yeah, it was great. And he met me and he had a bag of like gas station snacks that he was just walking with to the movies. He was going to have this before we got to the movies.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, wow.

[Dave]

And it was like a fucking Slim Jim and like protein, you know, saying good. Just nonsense.

[Francis Ellis]

He's back on the bottle.

[Dave]

He's drinking again.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, I've heard. He's back on the bottle.

[Dave]

Yeah, he kept. He was having dirty, dirty martinis at night.

[Francis Ellis]

See, this is all work that I've done to help him out. And you reversed all of it.

[Dave]

Did not enable his drinking whatsoever.

[Francis Ellis]

Got him off the snacks.

[Dave]

He said he'd been thinking about the dirty martinis. It was like all he was thinking about. In fact, there was a night where I went to bed and he went to the bar.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah, he does that a lot. That's his go to.

[Dave]

And he was just smashing dirty martinis.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, he likes to stay up past bedtime.

[Adam]

Was it a nice bar? Did he go somewhere nice?

[Dave]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the hotel. My hotel bar.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, the Four Seasons.

[Dave]

Yeah, it was great.

[Adam]

Oh, so those are incredible martinis.

[Dave]

Yeah. Really?

[Francis Ellis]

So he went to your hotel to go to your bar?

[Dave]

The first night we, I brought, we went for a nightcap at my bar after the show. And then he, we, we went back every night. I didn't go back the second night. But he came along and he came, he came with two girls that had, that came to the show. And when I Say they came to the show. I mean, every single show.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, yeah.

[Dave]

They came Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, Moocs grew.

[Dave]

[Dave]

And they were great. These girls were really nice. I just said hi to them outside the green room. But Mooc. Mooc had a nice evening with crazy

[Adam]

Dude, he.

[Francis Ellis]

He had.

[Adam]

He's doing fly outs like an NBA player.

[Dave]

He had those girls. And then I'm sitting, having a drink with him on Saturday, and he gets a text. He's like, oh, shit, I'll be right back. I'm like, where are you going? He's like, this girl just texted me. And I'm like, the one from last night? He goes, no, no, another girl, a fan. And I'm like, what do you mean? And he goes, she's got presents for me. And I'm like, what? And he goes, yeah, she's got presents. And in fact, it's her box. She had presents for both of us. And since it's present Tuesday, I figured I might as well pass this on.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Dave]

This is. She's a female listener of the pod, and it's worth sharing how she learned of it. She's been watching YouTube for med school purposes. Lecture study tips.

[Adam]

Just flash her handwriting. Her handwriting. And the spacing between each one of the lines is incredible.

[Dave]

Yeah, yeah, perfect. And this led her down a Louis CK rabbit hole about his grandmother donating her postmortem body at medicine, which led into a comedy thing. And she found us. This podcast truly keeps me sane. Perhaps that's not what you want to hear from your doctor, but all the best to you guys. Her name's Belle. Bella. Excuse me, Bella. And she got us three really nice cigars.

[Francis Ellis]

Tell me you didn't sign any blanks.

[Dave]

No, I'm pretty sure Mook signed one of their boobs with his mouth. What? You know what I mean.

[Adam]

Like when you put the trump mark

[Dave]

on, drew his name with his tongue.

[Francis Ellis]

That's crazy.

[Adam]

Like a quadriplegic artist.

[Dave]

That's it.

[Adam]

Damn.

[Francis Ellis]

He's up to no good.

[Adam]

Oh my God.

[Dave]

Used his eyes.

[Adam]

That's what Mook is up to.

[Dave]

Dude. I'm telling you. The Mooc. The Mooc, sir. I called him a Mecca. Muka4 all weekend.

[Adam]

That sounds good.

[Dave]

That was kind of fun.

[Adam]

That's so good.

[Dave]

And had a good time with him. He really cracked me up. But yeah, the shows were a little. Little bit of a grind. And then I was like texting our, you know, guy and being like, yeah, I don't think this is going to go very well as a weekend or agent. And oh yeah, he was. He was like, whatever. And then they paid me and it was like. I was like, whoa, this was much more than I thought this was going to be. I was trying to calculate ticket sales and stuff like that throughout the week. And then they just texted my. Our agent today and they were like, hey, we overpaid him by thousands of dollars.

[Francis Ellis]

That's that when they do that. That's happened to me a couple times. They should just let you have the money.

[Dave]

I mean, I don't know what. I already spent it.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. It's crazy to have someone walking off being like, nice, solid weekend.

[Dave]

I literally already spent the money. So if they want it back, it's going to take some time.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

What did you spend it on? I thought that you had an embargo on spending.

[Dave]

Yeah, I know I do. I just been.

[Adam]

Those look like new salvage denim.

[Dave]

No, no, no. These I've had since Denver. I bought these in Denver.

[Adam]

So what'd you buy?

[Francis Ellis]

Heard you guys hit Lululemon pretty hard.

[Dave]

Yeah, I bought new underwear there, which I really needed.

[Francis Ellis]

Was that like a panic move? Like, were you like, out of underwear on the road?

[Dave]

I've been out of. No, I've been. I've been out of underwear for months

[Francis Ellis]

because I've had to hit that. I've had to hit the door dash.

[Dave]

But I've been girl mathing my way where I'm like, well, I spent thousands of dollars on Japanese clothing, so I'm not allowed to spend $65 on seven new pairs of underwear.

[Adam]

That's smart.

[Francis Ellis]

65 for seven.

[Dave]

I don't know what the it is.

[Francis Ellis]

That's not bad at all.

[Adam]

That's not what Lululemon, that 65 for one pair.

[Dave]

That's not true at Lulu.

[Adam]

Oh, it's at least 65 for navies

[Francis Ellis]

charging like 30 bucks a pair, I think.

[Dave]

No, they're.

[Adam]

We went to an Old Navy in Minnesota together and bought underwear. That's like where I was like 25. 25 bucks a pair.

[Dave]

I bought. I bought two, three packs of underwear from Lululemon. You're right. It was probably.

[Adam]

It was 20 bucks a pair. It's gotta be at least 20 a pair.

[Dave]

20 a pair.

[Francis Ellis]

I'll find out. I would expect it to be 60 like you said.

[Adam]

Lululemet Lemon is some high quality nut huggers. Skims. Skims. Underwear is incredible. It will plump up your package so nicely.

[Francis Ellis]

I don't wear any of that. Any of that fruity shit.

[Dave]

Roan is wearing what was left of the fabric for the couch today. They had extra yards if they.

[Adam]

Yeah, I need someone to green screen me fully into the couch to just make me disappear or just have me like floating like a Cheshire cat's head.

[Dave]

It's so close. The color, the color is so close to the cat. I didn't even think about that.

[Adam]

Oh, nice. I might just start being a full. Full sweatsuit man. Yeah, it's so nice to be wearing

[Dave]

sweatsuit, but we're both wearing white waffles underneath. Look at us.

[Adam]

Yeah. Uniqlo.

[Dave]

Okay, cool.

[Francis Ellis]

Get a couple waffles.

[Dave]

Waffles.

[Francis Ellis]

I got a nice waffle. I got a waffle like button down shirt. Really nice, but I think it's a little too small.

[Dave]

I love this Bush jersey you're wearing. Is that what the guys wear when they're gaming?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, this is. Well, we, we switch it up every major so they'll have new jerseys for.

[Dave]

Oh, you get them new jerseys for every major.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, that's.

[Adam]

Well, because they're cutting them up into cards like that. Drake.

[Dave]

Games jerseys.

[Francis Ellis]

No, I figured I would show my. Show my support. We got a pretty big week this week. So.

[Adam]

Did you gu offered to bump up league?

[Francis Ellis]

We've been offered a couple times to go up to the pros, but we're not.

[Dave]

What? Why wouldn't you do that?

[Francis Ellis]

Well, we've been offered to buy out the spot for millions of dollars. It's not really a legit offer.

[Dave]

Mooc filled me in on everything. I mean, I got all the updates on Bush and he told me everything because I said to him, I was like, why do you get upset when people joke that Bush isn't like a serious thing?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

And he told me his answer and made a lot of sense to me.

[Francis Ellis]

What was his answer?

[Dave]

Well, because people get mad at him for like not doing his job and stuff. And. And therefore it has real professional ramifications for him when people don't take what he's doing now more seriously.

[Francis Ellis]

Makes sense. Fair response.

[Adam]

Is he getting shit on for not doing his job?

[Dave]

I think, I think there was when he left anus and put all of his eggs in the bush basket. In the bush.

[Francis Ellis]

In the bush.

[Dave]

Like a parent on Easter.

[Adam]

Yes.

[Dave]

God, I'm on fire today.

[Adam]

I love it.

[Dave]

What are we doing guys, here? I love what's happening here. See, I think there was a little bit of sort of. I don't know that. I don't know if that went over that well, you know?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Wasn't this talked about?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Okay. Yeah. So fair enough.

[Adam]

Now, does he get tons of pussy in Chicago or just on the road?

[Francis Ellis]

I think it's mostly the road.

[Adam]

He's a road dog.

[Dave]

Yeah. He doesn't know what.

[Francis Ellis]

He doesn't like to fuck with the same. The same city that he lives in.

[Dave]

Yeah. He doesn't like to. He doesn't like to mess up his bed. Unless maids are coming tomorrow.

[Francis Ellis]

Exactly. Unless he's at the Four Seasons.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

So what was his move when he's meeting girls at the Four Seasons bar and then being like, so my hotel is actually down the street? Well, that's like being the guy that, like, you're taking a photo in front of someone else's Lamborghini. So why are you. So why are you just here at this bar?

[Dave]

So in. In his defense, the four seasons and the four seasons bar were 100 yards from the club.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, okay.

[Dave]

And then his hotel. I gave him the room that the club booked me, which I wouldn't have booked the Four Seasons.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Had I known how nice of a hotel they had booked me, I would have taken the one room they booked me, and I would have made MOOC go sleep on a barge or something.

[Adam]

Where did he.

[Dave]

In the river.

[Francis Ellis]

I was pretty surprised when I saw that room. And he was like, Francis gave me. I was like, that's a pretty nice room.

[Dave]

Yeah, he. He. He showed it to me, and I was like, God damn it. I didn't need to do this at all. Like, that was a perfect. The problem is I've been in the habit where, like, I've had comedy clubs. Book my room where, you know, it's a nightmare.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, there's like, bugs and.

[Dave]

Yeah, exactly. And I'm like, if I'm gonna be here for three nights, I don't want to do that. I'm 37 years old. I don't want to sleep among blood stains and fecal matter and, like, cobweb lamps and stuff like that.

[Francis Ellis]

Some gross shower.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

Get off with a film on.

[Dave]

Right, right, Exactly. So I've just kind of automatically assumed at this point that clubs are going to me with some, you know, boarding house and maybe I sound like an asshole, but whatever. That is what it is. And so I give. Normally I'll give Brandon or whoever.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

The room that they.

[Adam]

Bloodstained room.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Bloodstained bug room.

[Dave]

Yeah. But a lot of the time, it's not bad at all.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

In fact, the only time it's bad, really. Like, in D.C. to two years ago, they booked me a room, and then they booked my opener room, and they booked me At a decent hotel and they booked Brandon at a motel. Flop house.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Yeah. That's never good.

[Adam]

What do you do, Harry, when you're on those same situations? You just stay where they put you.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. I don't care about the hotel, really. But I also will say, like, I've had hotels where I've been like, this is like, what the fuck is going on?

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

Like one of those ones where you open it up and you're outside. You open up the door to the just outdoors again, for what it's worth,

[Dave]

I did that for. I did that for five years. Yeah. Just accepted wherever they were going to put me.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And now you don't have to apologize for being.

[Adam]

You just love who you love.

[Dave]

Oh, I know.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. I mean, I was saying. We were talking about a little bit on the Bush podcast, and I was saying that, like, I upgrade my flight every time.

[Dave]

Yeah. I don't.

[Francis Ellis]

The hotel, I don't care about.

[Dave]

We went to this movie theater. And in fact, the movie theater was directly across from the improv where you performed.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, he told me that.

[Dave]

And Dave. Wow, you guys had a real debrief.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, I talked to Mook for like six hours a day.

[Dave]

Jesus Christ. So then I shouldn't talk about him because you know it all.

[Adam]

I want to hear it.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, it's still entertaining.

[Dave]

I'm trying to think. I mean, well, what I was gonna say.

[Francis Ellis]

Which he said he took me by. He took you by where? We said.

[Dave]

That's exactly what I was gonna say.

[Francis Ellis]

That was bad.

[Dave]

That hotel was terrible.

[Adam]

It was so bad that you guys went and psych saw at it.

[Dave]

It looked like a hotel that was about to be demolished.

[Francis Ellis]

It' the highway.

[Dave]

Like, the only thing left was for the mayor to come in with one of those T bars and push it down, watch everyone watch it crumble on itself.

[Francis Ellis]

It's literally like you're overlooking an overpass. Next to you is an underpass, I guess.

[Dave]

No, not an underpass. A tunnel. A living quarters for homeless people. Really strung out. Homeless.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, bad.

[Adam]

Very homeless.

[Francis Ellis]

Like, you have to walk down, like, under the overpass and it's. It's a lot. It's a good stretch.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

And pitch black.

[Dave]

Their dogs are not on leashes. That's the type of homeless we're talking about.

New York homeless people, like that guy outside the office, always has his two dogs on a leash.

[Dave]

I think their dogs hunt for them.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Hunt human.

[Dave]

I think they bring dinner in and it's Varmin 100.

[Adam]

Really?

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Adam]

That's not a bad way to live. The guy out front has fat dogs. Like, those dogs are fat and like gross. Like, dude, you live outside. Walk your dog.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Giving all his food to the dog dogs.

[Dave]

There's really no shortage of rats that you can. That they can eat, I guess. You seen that video of that dog that shakes rats and kills them?

[Francis Ellis]

Rowan's obsessed with that guy.

[Dave]

That is really.

[Adam]

Yeah, I love those guys. They haven't been posting as much though. I don't know if they got. They probably got shadow banned.

[Francis Ellis]

I remember. Show me that. You'd be like, check out this account.

[Adam]

Yeah, War dogs.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm not into that at all.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah. I've had to leave that behind. I. I gloss over any darkness that's on my feed now. I don't feed into any darkness.

[Francis Ellis]

Fully bricked, are you? Yeah, I don't go on the apps anymore.

[Dave]

You stay bricked?

[Francis Ellis]

I stay bricked.

[Adam]

I can't believe you. You nuked your. You nuked your. Twitter is an insane move.

[Dave]

You guys didn't believe me. I told you that I had.

[Francis Ellis]

I saw it.

[Adam]

I thought that it was like going to come back, though. I thought like after a couple. I thought you're going to have like sellers remorse or something and just.

[Dave]

Yeah, what if, like, I'm a man of action.

[Francis Ellis]

What if Musk is like, I'm getting like, I don't want to be in. Like, I think that that might happen. Like, he might give up Twitter. So if they, if he brings it back or they like say like, what's his name? Dorsey. Jack Dorsey, his name. What if he comes back and he's like, we're going back to the OG Twitter.

[Dave]

What did I ever need Twitter for?

[Francis Ellis]

You're going to go back to zero followers.

[Dave]

I don't care.

[Francis Ellis]

That not destroy you mentally.

[Dave]

No, no. I mean, I don't know. Fundamentally, like, I had 240,000 Twitter followers.

[Adam]

Yeah. That's like Fort Lauderdale.

[Dave]

Yeah, it's a lot of people, but I have almost 500,000 on Instagram and almost 500,000 on TikTok.

[Francis Ellis]

You got to assume that a lot of those people don't like a lot of people. They're one at people. I go on Instagram, I go on Tick tock.

[Dave]

Fine. Twitter, fine. Whatever. I. I can't remember a single person that has ever come to a show of mine and been like, dude, I saw you were coming to Houston on

[Francis Ellis]

Twitter and you never will again.

[Dave]

No.

[Adam]

Yeah, you're like, Fort Lauderdale. I've got Miami over here.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam]

I've got Miami.

[Dave]

Twitter is where all. All the. The shit lived.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, yeah.

[Dave]

It was all there.

[Francis Ellis]

It's bad.

[Dave]

And there was no redeeming quality to it for me at all anymore. Fundamentally, if I opened the app, it would just be a list of notifications, at the top of which were 7 comments about me from a video I hadn't even posted. Some viva la stool thing or whatever. Like, Francis is a faggot. I had no idea. Like, wow, kill yourself.

[Adam]

Well, I apologized for sending those. Okay. I don't know why you're still mad at me about it.

[Dave]

I'll let it go. You're wearing green, my favorite color. But it just got to a point where like, oh, my God, you know?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

It's like opening your windows to start your day and just seeing war outside.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. And then being like, okay, yeah, Twitter's definitely bad. It's not. Not a good place. Try to be off of it as Much as possible. I was on the games heavy this weekend.

[Adam]

What games?

[Francis Ellis]

Video games. Oh, like, like the, like I think I played on Saturday. I played video games for an amount of time that I haven't since I was probably in like middle school or high school.

[Dave]

Give us a number and be honest about it.

[Adam]

12, 15, I think it was like

[Dave]

11 to 2am11am to 2am That's 15, 15 hours.

[Francis Ellis]

And I had to get off because my back was in so much pain from sitting in the seat that I was like, I just can't. I can't play anymore. It's over.

[Adam]

Just you got to engage your core at that point. You need to get your posture right. Pull those. I have a stretch for you. Honestly, just a quick four minute posture.

[Francis Ellis]

I hit the gym the next day and I just went to town on the back.

[Adam]

Everything you got to strengthen the lumbar muscle.

[Dave]

So sure that that's the right way to make a hurt back better.

[Francis Ellis]

Definitely.

[Dave]

Or lift my way out of this pain.

[Francis Ellis]

I had to get. I had to get the muscles moving and I just hit. I was just doing rows for like literally an hour straight at every weight because I see it's just this right side of my back is just. It hurts so much.

[Dave]

Yeah. I'm telling you again, I'd just be careful. Like lifting your way out of muscle pain is probably a way to.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh no, I know the exact.

[Dave]

I haven't re exacerbate that.

[Francis Ellis]

I haven't got this level of back pain since this is how I know I haven't played video games like this in a while. Since I was in. I remember I used to be in like middle school and high school and I used to have get up and stretch my back because it would hurt

[Adam]

so bad from leaning forward.

[Francis Ellis]

From leaning forward.

[Adam]

What is it? Just one side. Where is it? Can you point to where it is?

[Francis Ellis]

Right under my like shoulder blade.

[Dave]

Can I ask a question?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

When you would disappear for 15 hours at a time, did your parents not think like boy, maybe we should, you know, should get him for a meal?

[Francis Ellis]

Well, that would only happen on like special occasions. You know, snow day or something like that.

[Dave]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

Like, yeah, pretty much what happened was I woke up early as on Saturday. I was like, it's got to be a productive day.

[Adam]

10.

[Francis Ellis]

No, probably like eight. I was like, I gotta get, I gotta get a lot of stuff. Like I got a lot of to do today. Gotta get it done. Decided to go through with an experiment based on Roan's what he said last Week I took it. I took a vyvanse little 20 milligram.

[Adam]

When?

[Francis Ellis]

On Saturday.

[Adam]

For what?

[Francis Ellis]

To get all my stuff done. And then I finished it all in maybe 15 minutes. And then I played Counter Strike for 15 hours straight.

[Adam]

Oh, you were dialed on counter strike.

[Dave]

What?

[Francis Ellis]

It was like one of the. I was like. I don't even think that Vivance really did anything.

[Adam]

Yeah, right.

[Francis Ellis]

You did your 6:15 minutes.

[Adam]

That's what Vivance does.

[Francis Ellis]

It was pretty insane. But I don't think it's for me. Not really my thing.

[Adam]

No, it's not. It's not for anybody. Honestly. It should not be prescribed.

[Francis Ellis]

No, definitely not.

[Adam]

The fact that people are on it every day.

[Francis Ellis]

Every day.

[Adam]

It's bad.

[Francis Ellis]

How do you get anything done?

[Adam]

You get everything done. And then it's like, what do you have to do?

[Francis Ellis]

And then you play counter strike for 15 hours.

[Adam]

You just, like, create anxiety for yourself. But at least you had a thing, an outlet for all of your energy.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, it was great. I mean, you know what? Unbelievable day.

[Dave]

I don't like Vyvanse. I don't like the side effects of it.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, neither do I care.

[Dave]

Your side effects, the ones I've experienced. The worst one was vaginal dryness.

[Adam]

Oh, yeah. Your pussy gets fucking.

[Dave]

No hair. Everyone. Yeah, Everyone I've ever met who was on it. I'll tell you what.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Took a long time to get in there. It's like trying to cut down an old oak tree.

[Adam]

Yeah. It's like scraping for the last bit of peanut butter in the jar.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

I don't really think what I took was even enough to feel the full experience because I didn't have a loss of appetite at all. I was housing food.

[Adam]

Well, it's because you were fried as hell. You were probably like, so, so high on top of it. You had like a junior speedball of just like a bunch of weed and Vyvanse.

[Francis Ellis]

No, I didn't smoke any weed. I wasn't mixing drugs.

[Dave]

Junior speedball. Harry, we brought. I brought up that I asked this question about your family and to dovetail on that, what an unbelievably wonderful moment it was at the airport to meet your mother and your sister. At the airport.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, definitely.

[Dave]

And. And I think you. You met them without him.

[Adam]

Yeah, she stopped me.

[Francis Ellis]

Well, I. I saw. I found Roan pretty quick. I was right behind him.

[Dave]

Okay.

[Francis Ellis]

What were you getting held up for at tsa? I never even asked you that.

[Adam]

They. They found my Bop It Extreme in my bag. They were really.

[Francis Ellis]

I saw you, like, you had, like, your own lane. They, like, were holding you to the side.

[Adam]

Yeah, they said that. Why would you have a bop it and a skip it it?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, no, it doesn't, doesn't add up.

[Adam]

They said it didn't make a lick of sensory to be fine. Back with that. I didn't get held up.

[Francis Ellis]

I was looking at you.

[Adam]

What are you talking.

[Francis Ellis]

I was watching you being held up

[Adam]

like, like by agents. Yeah, they went through my back before

[Francis Ellis]

you, they, before they, before you scanned your id. Like, when you were showing your boarding pass in your id, you were having a lot of problems.

[Adam]

Oh, I gotta. I have a driver's license. That's. I got a new driver's license and it's not real id, and I've never had it checked for before. No one's ever. I mean, because I have clear and pre check and like, in New York, it's so easy. And like, with clear, it's so easy. And this is the first time I've flown out of a smaller airport where they actually check that shit. So they made me fill out a form. I forgot about that until now. Out of my mind.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, I caught it. Eyes everywhere.

[Adam]

You're obfuscating. He's obfuscating right now. You're obfuscating. We met your mom. Your mom stopped me at the airport.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah? Yeah.

[Adam]

And she said. I forget if she said Roan or

[Francis Ellis]

Adam, but she was, she definitely said Roan.

[Adam]

She was so nice.

[Francis Ellis]

Adam.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

She said Francis to me.

[Adam]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

Because that's your name.

[Dave]

Sure. She knew it.

[Adam]

She knew it like a background.

[Dave]

She wasn't like, oh, you're Harry's friend.

[Francis Ellis]

What would you call you? Alice.

[Dave]

I just, I think maybe like, Maybe like, oh, hi. Hi. You know, she, she just knew me.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. I'm not surprised.

[Dave]

And I. Do you remember what I said? Do you remember what I said?

[Francis Ellis]

No.

[Dave]

I said, oh, my God, it's so nice to meet you. And the three of you were together. And I said to your mom and your sister, I said, I almost feel the need to apologize because Harry and I have this wonderful sort of brotherly rivalry frequently. And I'm sure if you listen to the podcast, it might come off as though were quite combative. But the truth is, we're quite fond of each other. I said all of that. I do remember that.

[Francis Ellis]

I do recall. Yeah.

[Adam]

I, I.

[Dave]

And they were like, we don't listen to the podcast. I was like, I didn't need to say any of that.

[Adam]

I met them first when it was just me. And then you popped up. And I kind of. I have the instinct to be, like, talking and, like, leading a conversation. And I was like, let me shut the fuck up. Because, like, this is your. Your mom and your sister at the airport. So I kind of just let you guys have that. Have the conversation.

[Francis Ellis]

Totally.

[Dave]

I had the same instinct. I was like, I'll let you catch up.

[Adam]

I'm going to let them catch up.

[Dave]

Because I knew that you were just crossing paths with them. They landed and we were taking off and so that you only had a moment as a family.

[Adam]

But I wanted to pepper them. I would have just loved to know about, like, I would have just loved to stop over at the Buffalo Wild Wings with them and just, like, sit down for a pint and dig in about your past.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

I wanted to stay in Florida with.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

Thought about sticking around so we could really get into, you know.

[Francis Ellis]

My mom kept on being like, no one's staying.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

For the weekend.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

And I was like, no.

[Adam]

Francis texted me on the side and he was like, I just met Francis. Or I just met Harry's mom and sister. And they were lovely. Yeah, they were lovely. I think that's so nice.

[Dave]

They were really, really lovely.

[Adam]

They're lovely. How nice is that?

[Francis Ellis]

So nice, guys.

[Adam]

How nice to hear that. That they're lovely.

[Dave]

It just does raise the question to my eye, what happened to you.

[Adam]

That'.

[Francis Ellis]

God, that's.

[Adam]

Yeah. Why aren't you lovely?

[Dave]

I don't know.

[Francis Ellis]

I'm a nasty boy.

[Adam]

Yeah, you are. I think it's just being raised. Raised among she wolves. Raised among women.

[Francis Ellis]

Raised. Raised amongst she Os.

[Adam]

Yeah. Girl bosses. I was born into a family of girl bosses.

[Dave]

They were such warm people. I can't speak highly enough of them. And if it sounds as if I'm being disingenuous, I promise I'm not.

[Adam]

It doesn't. It sounds lovely. Sounds like they are lovely.

[Dave]

I immediately could picture them knitting.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Sharing a laugh. Sharing an unironic laugh. Well, that's the thing. They're not irony poisoned.

[Dave]

No, no, no.

[Francis Ellis]

Like, you guys talked to them for, like, maybe 15 seconds.

[Dave]

That's all I needed to know. I could feel the warmth.

[Adam]

He's got CIA in his blood. He can read people.

[Francis Ellis]

Francis was like. Francis was on, like, roan talked to them for a while. And then Francis was like. Like, he, like, pulled the headphone out for, like, a second. He's like, oh, hey, how's it going? I gotta run, though. I gotta.

[Dave]

That's not true.

[Francis Ellis]

Jesus.

[Dave]

That's not True at all.

[Adam]

Hit him with this.

[Dave]

I really.

[Francis Ellis]

Give me a minute.

[Adam]

Give me a minute. Talking to gas.

[Dave]

Hang on, hang on. My favorite part of the song is almost over.

[Adam]

I'm finishing a podcast.

[Dave]

Yeah, it's Huberman.

[Adam]

You know, Huberman Beat just changed in

[Francis Ellis]

Nikes by Frank Ocean.

[Dave]

It was. It was really a treat. It really kind of colored everything I know about you.

[Francis Ellis]

Totally.

[Adam]

It does change everything when you meet people's parents.

[Dave]

Can I meet your dad soon?

[Francis Ellis]

Totally. Where that's set up?

[Dave]

I would like that. I need the full picture now.

[Adam]

Yeah. I'm sure that he's lovely. I bet he's got a. I bet he's, like, got a goofy sense of humor.

[Francis Ellis]

Super goofy.

[Adam]

I can't.

[Dave]

My dad is really goofy. Corky.

[Francis Ellis]

Such a goof.

[Adam]

We need to close the triangle because both of you guys have met. Or I guess you have met my mom.

[Dave]

I've met your family.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

I've now met your family. You guys will never meet my family.

[Adam]

We'll find them.

[Francis Ellis]

Unless we're down in Boca Grande.

[Adam]

Yeah. If we're down in Grant, they're not really going there.

[Dave]

The house. The house is not livable.

[Francis Ellis]

Well, it will be soon.

[Adam]

It will be. And we'll be back in Boca Grande.

[Francis Ellis]

We'll be back.

[Adam]

If I know us.

[Dave]

That was cool. It was.

[Francis Ellis]

You boys here for Tuck? Boys here for the talk.

[Dave]

Tell that. Tell that, please.

[Francis Ellis]

What was that? Was that. That was the last night? Yeah, yeah. It was, like, right after we just finished recording the final podcast. Like, we were, like, done with content for the weekend, and we, like, went to a good dinner.

[Adam]

Great dinner. Beautiful dinner. What was that place called?

[Dave]

The Temptation.

[Adam]

The Temptation.

[Francis Ellis]

The temp.

[Adam]

Fantastic old spot, though. And as soon as you open up the door, you're in the middle of the room.

[Francis Ellis]

It opens right up to the dining room.

[Adam]

It's to someone's back. Not even to a booth.

[Francis Ellis]

It looked like a decorative door that you're not supposed to enter in from. But yeah, we went in there, and then there was, like, a table of fairly younger people

[Adam]

combination. There were some older people and some young people, and they were at the table right as soon as you opened the door. So you see them right away? They saw us right away.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, but I guess so. Tucker Carlson has a place down there.

[Dave]

Someone.

[Francis Ellis]

Someone recognized us, came up to Francis when we were eating, and he was like, what'd he say? He was like, you here for Tuck?

[Adam]

He was like, big fan of you guys.

[Dave]

Yeah. I'll be seeing you guys on Tucker soon, obviously. No, that was what he led with. That's what he led with.

[Francis Ellis]

Like, excuse me, sorry, what was that?

[Dave]

Yeah, I was like, I'm sorry. And it's almost like I was only half playing dumb because one, I do know that Tucker Carlson is down there. So I understood that. But I was. I was so baffled.

[Francis Ellis]

The second he said Tucker, I was like, tucker Carlson it. But I still didn't know what he meant.

[Dave]

I didn't know why he would have assumed.

[Adam]

He.

[Dave]

His assumption was that the six of us were all in Boca Grande to appear on Tucker Carlson or interview him, maybe.

[Francis Ellis]

I think he was a Peter on his show. Because then he was like. When he was leaving, he was like, oh, boy, I can't wait for the interview.

[Dave]

Yeah. Because we told them we weren't. We told them we weren't going to. Being on Tucker's show. And he was like, yeah, right. Yeah, I'll see you on the. Can't wait for the interview. That's what he said. He didn't believe. He thought we were being like we'd signed an NDA or something and that we were being coy.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Which is so funny. Like, it was such a harmless interaction. Like, the guy genuinely thought that we were going on Tucker Carlson's show. Which is hilarious because, like, if you look at the last guests on his podcast, it's like Netanyahu, Mike Huckabee, like, the guys from Son of a Boy, dad at Barstool.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

Guys, let's take a break from talking about the war in the Middle East.

[Dave]

Some people think podcasting has to be serious. Why here? Now I have three guests who don't talk about anything.

[Francis Ellis]

It really was just such a funny interaction.

[Adam]

Yeah, he dummied us, but that food was so good.

[Dave]

Yeah. We brought our trout. I guess this will probably be in one of the videos we post, but we brought our trout that we caught. And what was so cool, they had told us, like, you can bring fish to this restaurant, they'll cook it for you. So I just walked in with a bat. Oh, like a sweating, wet, melting ice bag of fish flesh.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And I walked in and I was like. And the woman was like, yep, I'll bring that right to your server. And 20 minutes later, it had been pan fried and came out as.

[Adam]

It looked like a big bag of dog. Yeah. It was like.

[Francis Ellis]

It was phenomenal.

[Adam]

It was delicious. But. But the old waitress who's worked there.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

For 30, 50 years, and obviously has seen a lot of good fishermen come through the doors and drop off probably Full tarpon was, like, kind of giggling at it.

[Francis Ellis]

She was. She was destroying us. She was howling, laughing while giving us the food. Like, save some room. It wasn't even that. It was a completely fine amount of fish to have as, like, an appetizer for two people. For six people.

[Dave]

Correct. What was she.

[Francis Ellis]

They were fried nuggets, to be clear.

[Adam]

It was delicious, though. It was delicious. They had grouper finger on the grouper fingers on the menu as well, which were about the same thing. And ours was so much better than we were fingers.

[Dave]

And we liked our trout fingers better. Fresh.

[Francis Ellis]

Fresher.

[Dave]

She was politicized, though. Remember when I said something. What did I say about Obama?

[Adam]

Obama. Don't even know her.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, yeah, you said something about Obama. And she immediately was like.

[Dave]

It was like a dish on the. On the. On the menu. Had something that I turned into an Obama joke.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And she didn't like that.

[Francis Ellis]

Like a rock, maybe it was like a. A rock. Like rockfish or something like that.

[Adam]

You're like, rockfish.

[Dave]

Yeah, rockfish, Barack fish, Obama.

[Francis Ellis]

Something like that.

[Dave]

What was it there? I wonder what that would have been. Mm.

[Adam]

Not the American red snapper. Not the grouper. I did have the grouper almondine, which was.

[Dave]

Yeah, the food was great. We had a. We had a great time. And it was cool for me to show you guys this place that is very special to me and Boca Grande. Yandel texted me after the video came out yesterday, and he was like, how great is Boca Grande?

[Francis Ellis]

He's got property down there.

[Dave]

He goes there. Yeah, but, dude, by the way, how great is Boca?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, we actually just got a place down there as well.

[Dave]

Ironically, it reminded me of a story that Anthony Rizzo had told me.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

Where

[Dave]

I guess those two have houses right next to each other in Florida.

[Francis Ellis]

Not another part of Florida.

[Dave]

They must be on more like, the Palm beach side. Like the East Coast. East Coast. But. But he told me that Yandel, like, they were on opposite sides of a canal. And one day, like, he looked up because he heard, like, Rizzo heard a boat motor just, like, ripping, like. And he looked over, and Yandel was in his boat, but it hadn't lowered into the water yet. And he had started the motor just about above board.

[Francis Ellis]

Insane.

[Dave]

And. And Rizzo yelled across. He was like, dude, you don't turn it on until you're in the water. And Yan's goes, I've never been in a boat before. He had bought a boat, having never been one. He goes, I have no idea what I'm doing.

[Francis Ellis]

I mean, it's honestly like that's got to be so many people that have boats that just get in one day. I know. Can we.

[Adam]

Can we look up Yandel's career earnings? I'd like to pocket watch my brother.

[Francis Ellis]

60 mil, is it? Yeah. I looked it up already.

[Adam]

You did?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Day I met him, first thing I looked up,

[Adam]

approximately 64.8. Golly, he hands.

[Francis Ellis]

I mean, he was in the league. Let me hold 20 years, wasn't he?

[Adam]

He was. And now let's pocket watch Whitney. Can we pocket watch Whitney?

[Francis Ellis]

I've really got his whole Wikipedia memorized. That was kind of impressive.

[Adam]

Yeah. You've been pocket watching 27 and now let's do bis. Can we do bis? We gonna be rich forever. Two to three.

[Dave]

Yeah, but he's.

[Francis Ellis]

Damn.

[Adam]

What are you doing? Celebrity boxing.

[Dave]

What the.

[Adam]

I understand the grind now. He's trying to get out the mud still.

[Dave]

He signed a two year, one million dollar contract. That. That's like a barstool deal.

[Adam]

Yandel has made 25 times more.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Playing hockey.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. What? I mean, Yandel is in the league though. Like. Like Biz was. He was in and out of the league, wasn't he?

[Dave]

Yeah. He swung up and down from the A.

[Francis Ellis]

But also NHL players like don't make a lot of money. Like, like, I mean, obviously they make a lot of money.

[Adam]

But in comparison, you just said Yano made $75 million.

[Francis Ellis]

But that's like. I mean, that's like a. Like he's made a ton of money for the NHL.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

Like probably up there in top salaries.

[Adam]

He could just have fun. Like that's baseball player money. He's neighbors with Rizzo.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

That's so nice. Oh my God. I didn't realize they were on that million dollars worth of game contract. Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

You got to hope that he broke off some for biz. Broke off a little slice and for.

[Adam]

For fish.

[Dave]

I think Biz is doing just fine post hockey career.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

I think we got to start it up at. Biz is broke. Start that rumor. Get that, get that going around. Biz actually hit me up asking for money recently. He's like, bro, let me just hold a rack.

[Adam]

This is taking girls to the four seasons lobby, acting like he's staying there. I know that he's. Couldn't be. Couldn't be more successful, couldn't be wealthier. Great guy. You gotta couch your nasty comments with

[Francis Ellis]

something really nice behind his busting chops. He's obviously rich as.

[Adam]

Yeah. I mean, his house in Arizona mansion. Did you See what Mincy did to the walls of that. That house though. That it's still like that.

[Dave]

And he put his wet bathing suit and whatever else on the ledge here and completely my Portolo paint on the walls in my spare. Look at this. Piss me off.

[Francis Ellis]

I can't believe fresh coating.

[Dave]

As someone who knows how difficult it is to get someone with a proper lime wash hand behind the. The brush.

[Adam]

I forgot we talked about that on here. I didn't know where you. Where you would have seen it, Francis. I didn't know if you read about in the newspaper or what that all

[Dave]

came out before I went full armor.

[Francis Ellis]

Is that in the Times?

[Adam]

It was in the Wall street, yeah. Are you are. Do you find yourself doing other things with your time as far as consuming news or media.

Yeah, modern coastal farmhouse and then eclectic. You know, eclectic. Like weird or like a lot of things thrown.

Is that how it's pronounced though?

[Dave]

Eclectic.

[Adam]

Well, I mean Wayfair has that eclectic vibe. Why would we lie to you, bro?

[Francis Ellis]

Like you guys are fibbing with me.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh yeah.

[Dave]

Or like refreshing my email constantly.

[Adam]

You're on a flight without wi fi?

[Dave]

Yeah, pretty much. And so I'm hopeful that I will at some point realize just how devoid of. Of stimulus that is. And my. My will actually naturally start to drift away because none of what's on my phone is. Is interesting to me anymore.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Yeah. You might have to double down and go with the black and white as well.

[Adam]

Go full. Addicted to the colors.

[Dave]

I mean, my screen time has been way down, which is good.

[Francis Ellis]

But I've been doing that too, though. I'll like. I'll be bricked and I'll like just. I'm opening up the photos app every time.

[Adam]

Really?

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Francis Ellis]

There's nothing else to do. But I also leave chess unbricked, so there's always something to do.

[Dave]

Good.

[Francis Ellis]

And chess. You feel productive while you're playing.

[Dave]

The Magnus Carlsen Untold is very good. You should watch that Untold.

[Francis Ellis]

Was that new?

[Dave]

There's new untolds coming out. I watched the Lamar Odom one and I watched the Magnus Carlsen one.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, definitely. Check. I didn't know Magnus. They put out a Magnus one.

[Dave]

It's about when he played against Hans Niemann. Do you remember this story? Of course. And they were playing at this tournament in Miami, and Hans Neiman won. And Magnus thought that he was making.

[Adam]

Hans Neiman.

[Dave]

He thought he was making moves based on, like, a computer indicating to him somehow what to do. And then the rumor came out that Hans Neiman was using anal beads. The buzzer that were somehow like. Yeah. And now anytime Hans Niemann does an interview, everyone, like, the anal beads thing follows him around.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

Everywhere. And it's just because Carlsen couldn't take a loss. Well, come on now.

[Francis Ellis]

Carlson's lost.

[Adam]

Yeah, but he couldn't take. His ego is out of control.

[Dave]

Hans Niemann had, like, a flagrant record of cheating all the time.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, really?

[Dave]

Yeah, In. In online chess, he cheated a ton. So there. I don't know. It's worth watching, but, like, wasn't there

[Adam]

a woman in chess who was accused of cheating with her big fake titties? There's, like, a woman with big fake titties that was, like, accused of. I don't know if she had anal beads in her tits or something like that that were buzzing, but there are some famous fake breasts in the chess world. Anna Rudolph, falsely accused. Was that it? Lip balm. How do these. How do buzzes. Oh, there's a laundry list of women who have cheated with fake titties.

[Dave]

Wow.

[Francis Ellis]

I think they would use the buzzes as sort of like a. Like a Morse code.

[Dave]

Somebody could be for using a computer program and then indicating, presumably, you know, through the buzz through buzz. I don't know, like, move your knight to D6. Yeah, whatever.

[Adam]

How did it come out that he had had anal beads that were buzzing to help him cheat?

[Dave]

He claims that that wasn't true.

[Francis Ellis]

Magnus could feel the vibrations from across

[Dave]

the table and nothing. Nothing was ever proven on that front.

[Francis Ellis]

So did Magnus come up with the idea that he had.

[Dave]

He didn't come up with the anal beads.

[Francis Ellis]

Okay. He thought that would be crazy.

[Dave]

He thought that. That Hans had access to a computer program that was running, like, a million combinations of outcomes with each move.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Where you know that you can't beat that. I guess. No.

[Francis Ellis]

Mag, didn't Magnus say that he can't beat the, like, highest rated computer? Like, it's impossible?

[Dave]

I'm not sure.

[Adam]

Have you guys watched the New Euphoria?

[Dave]

Not yet.

[Francis Ellis]

I don't watch that.

[Adam]

I'm already tired of it.

[Dave]

Really?

[Adam]

I feel like the show is just, like, now it's just like. And then we. He got a gun and then they. And she was trans and they had to keep it a secret. It's just like they're just throwing shit at the wall of. Just like. And they're fucking gambling and it's so fucking a pimp. Is there. It's just all this over the top.

[Francis Ellis]

Like, I saw some girl complaining on Twitter today about that. Like, some Only Fans girl complaining that Sydney Sweeney's or who's the guy that wrote it. Yeah. Sam Levinson's like, depiction of only fans is inaccurate because only fans actually flags people that are like age baiting or whatever they call it because she dressed up like a baby or something for the only fans. Yeah.

[Adam]

This isn't. This isn't true to only Fans.

[Francis Ellis]

It's like you should reconsider everything in your life as you're. As you're sending out that tweet.

[Adam]

This actually is.

[Francis Ellis]

Why do I, like, ask yourself, why do I know the terms of service for only fans? Why is that something that I have memory and why is it something that I'm publicly angry that the writer of the show doesn't know? Yeah, like, that's crazy.

[Adam]

That is super embarrassing to or. But it's. It's another Only Fans creator.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

It's a woman that. That's on there.

[Francis Ellis]

It's like this plot actually doesn't make sense.

[Adam]

I should know. I actually tried this.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Flagged. This wouldn't make sense.

[Francis Ellis]

You're actually not allowed to dress up like a dog with big tits. That's not allowed. So Sam Levinson should try to do some research.

[Adam]

Before it took me out of the show. Not the part of the show where, like, Zena is like burying a body, but when the terms and conditions of Only Fans weren't met to the letter of the law.

[Dave]

It's.

[Adam]

It's so insane. The. The cast of the show that they have like the fact that the type of. That they have Zena doing.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

Zendaya is just like killing people and serving drugs.

[Francis Ellis]

Did you guys see the drama that movie with Zendaya?

[Adam]

No, I didn't watch that Zendaya movie yet.

[Francis Ellis]

I saw it in the. I just saw that in theaters. It was crazy. It's pretty dark.

[Dave]

You saw it?

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

What was going on in it?

[Francis Ellis]

Well, I don't want to spoil it, man.

[Adam]

This movie, bro. Spoil this.

[Dave]

No, no, no. I'll watch it if it's good.

[Adam]

What's its Rotten Tomatoes.

[Francis Ellis]

It's good. Like, I enjoyed it. It's very like Tense. It's pretty dark, though.

[Dave]

Oh, I don't think I'll see this. 77 and 78. That's just not high enough for me to bother.

[Francis Ellis]

7.5 out of 10 on IMDb that's. You don't really get much higher.

[Dave]

That's your litmus test. What's your measuring stick?

[Francis Ellis]

RT for this kind of. For this kind of movie. That's a very good rating.

[Dave]

I believe that. Did you see. You haven't seen Project Hail Mary?

[Francis Ellis]

No.

[Dave]

It was really fun.

[Adam]

It was fun.

[Dave]

Really fun. Oh, my God. So I bought tickets for both Mook and for me, and they were $33 each.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And I thought, what in the absolute fuck? How could it be that Movie tickets are $33 even against the last time I went to the movies in New York? That seems exorbitant.

[Adam]

You can get an hourly motel for less than that.

[Dave]

I mean, Harry can rent a new apartment for less. So I.

[Adam]

We.

[Dave]

We brought the tickets forward, and I said to the woman checking them, I said, is this normal? And she goes, no, these are the VIP tickets. And I said, did I have an option to not buy the vip? And she said, no, all of the tickets for this particular 11:50am showing are VIP. And I said, well, that sounds insane. To. What are we entitled? And she said, you will have free unlimited popcorn and soda the entire movie.

[Francis Ellis]

Okay, that's not bad.

[Dave]

We had a separate entrance.

[Francis Ellis]

Our. We don't have been that separate if everyone's separate from who? Sounds like it was just the main entrance.

[Dave]

The people who were going to all the other theaters couldn't come into this

[Francis Ellis]

lounge, but they wouldn't be going into that theater regardless. They didn't buy tickets.

[Adam]

He's saying there's a lounge. She's saying there's a bonus lounge.

[Dave]

We had a lounge theater.

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, I see that.

[Dave]

Had it. We. And then we had our own fountain soda machine and then our own popcorn.

[Francis Ellis]

Did the soda taste a little watered down?

[Dave]

No, no, no, no. It was good. And I said to Mook, we got up there, and he was like, I'm gonna come out for seconds and thirds at the intermission. I was like, I don't think they're. I think this movie's gonna run right through. If I were you, I would take two bags now. And he's like, the intermission? Yeah. And we sat down and we. He didn't finish his popcorn or his soda.

[Francis Ellis]

That popcorn is kind of a big one to have three servings of.

[Adam]

That's so much. You might as well Just have a stick of butter. Like a Hershey's bar.

[Dave]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he goes, and I'm doing this and there's nothing you can do to stop me. And then he just held it under the automatic butter dispenser until the bag was wet.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Oh, my God.

[Francis Ellis]

That doesn't need that. Should. That shit's not even that good.

[Adam]

The extra butter.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, it's like such placebo. Like, you think that's what's going to taste good, but what you're looking for is salt.

[Dave]

I don't know about that.

[Francis Ellis]

That's what you're looking for.

[Dave]

I've had the butter before. It is really good when it's wet.

[Adam]

It's a little bit much though, when your fingers are wet.

[Francis Ellis]

It's also just kind of tasteless butter.

[Dave]

I think it tastes like good fountain butter.

[Adam]

There's good fat fountain soda butter. It is good to get some fat. But it's just like, like the fact that they make you get the upgrade for two things that you're not going to get seconds on, like, unlimited.

[Dave]

We did the math. We were coming out and Mook was like, I think we got value. And I was like, not at all.

[Adam]

Not at all.

[Dave]

We would have. Need to have. We would have needed to have had multiple sodas and multiple popcorns each to make back what the difference was in the ticket.

[Francis Ellis]

Well, I think on average it's probably, what, $25 a ticket?

[Dave]

No, I bet it's like, yeah, 15 bucks a ticket. Maybe 18.

[Adam]

Where? Well, that's.

[Francis Ellis]

You guys want to drive in theaters somewhere?

[Adam]

Movie theaters now are just like, either, like you have a sit down seat,

[Dave]

23 bucks in new York City, but

[Adam]

that's because you have like a reclining seat where they serve you dinner.

[Dave]

I mean, we were. Harry, we were at a mall in Houston, I would think ticket, movie ticket prices. Yeah, there you go.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

[Adam]

No, but you could go to the AMC or the Regal in the middle of the city and get one for like $14.

[Dave]

I'll do it right now. I'm gonna find this right now.

[Adam]

I did it, bro. I went and I fell asleep during Hamnet.

[Francis Ellis]

So you guys don't go to real movie theaters. Like, you go to like, what is there some, like there's some weird chain in Dumbo.

[Dave]

No, no, no. I, I'm. I'm like, you exclusive. I want to amex movies.

[Adam]

The Centurion Movie Lounge. I like the Nighthawk. I like. I picks. I like Alamo.

[Francis Ellis]

But you're not going to like a. Yeah, exactly. So you're not going to like a Regal, or.

[Dave]

I go to reason.

[Adam]

I told you about the regals that are 14 if I'm going.

[Francis Ellis]

But the Regals aren't for. There's nowhere. I don't think there's anywhere in New York City. You're going to the movies for 14 bucks.

[Adam]

I went to Hamnet for 1415 years ago. No, the one that's in, like, Times Square or whatever. The one that's in the middle of the city for tourists.

[Dave]

I got you, Harry. I guess.

[Francis Ellis]

What are we getting on that price there, Sean?

[Dave]

Wow, Sean's moving way more quickly than I am.

[Adam]

No, he's in the Nighthawk. He's in the Alamo Drafthouse.

[Dave]

Oh, this is $20.49.

[Francis Ellis]

Nine bucks at Alamo.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Here's Regal for tonight for a movie no one will ever see. And it's 23 with the face,

[Francis Ellis]

Adam.

[Adam]

I mean, Alamo Drafthouse is on the screen right now for. For $9. What are you talking about? That can't.

[Francis Ellis]

Alamo Drafthouse is expensive, though.

[Adam]

It says right there, $9.

[Francis Ellis]

Because they get you on the snacks and the drinks there, right?

[Dave]

Well, at Alamo, they give you, like,

[Francis Ellis]

you got someone ordering a Blue Moon.

[Dave]

Yeah. And you can have a Cobb salad in your seat.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And they bring it to you.

[Francis Ellis]

No, I've been.

[Adam]

I've been always a Cobb's House out. They're shoveling.

[Dave]

You can actually bring trout to Alamo and they'll fry it up for you.

[Adam]

It's good, too.

[Francis Ellis]

Alamo Drafthouse is cool.

[Dave]

They won't make fun of how little you have.

[Adam]

They're very respectful at Alamo Drafthouse.

[Francis Ellis]

You guys just. You guys don't know how much the movies costs.

[Adam]

We're out of touch.

[Francis Ellis]

It's not a quarter of film anymore.

[Adam]

See, my day, we had to walk uphill both ways to the movie theater.

[Francis Ellis]

You just go with a quarter. Any movie.

[Adam]

You can put your mouth under the butter.

[Dave]

Do you want to tell us about what you're going through with your house situation right now?

[Francis Ellis]

Oh, I mean, there's not really much to tell.

[Dave]

You said you're going to be home. You said you've been blacklisted.

[Francis Ellis]

I think I've been blacklisted. From Zillow, from brokers, from Zillow, from Zillow.

[Dave]

Word has gotten around that Harry is not a serious rental prospect.

[Adam]

They'll rent to anyone in New York.

[Francis Ellis]

Not me.

[Adam]

You don't have to even speak American in New York. They'll rent to you.

[Francis Ellis]

I got pretty close to signing a lease on. On a place and then I had to pull the pull out of it and. Yeah, it's. Since I've tried looking again, they just don't reply to my emails.

[Adam]

Are you locked on Historia?

[Francis Ellis]

No, I'm looking everywhere.

[Dave]

Harry can't find Brooklyn.

[Francis Ellis]

I'm not moving to Dumbo.

[Dave]

He can't find an apartment to rent in the five boroughs.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, that's the issue, Harry.

[Dave]

Can't find a place to live in all five boroughs of New York.

[Francis Ellis]

I might have to move to Staten island, so.

[Adam]

That's one of the five boroughs I know.

[Francis Ellis]

That's the fifth that I haven't looked at.

[Adam]

Get a yard. Yeah, you're just mowing your lawn in the morning. Property across from Yandel.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Wouldn't be bad.

[Adam]

Yeah, that'd be so sick. I. I refuse to believe that you can't find a place though. There has to be a place. Probably in the same building that you're looking.

[Francis Ellis]

No, I've looked everywhere.

[Dave]

We still recording at 1:30. I'm trying to figure out which boat to take. Just reminder guys, it takes me an hour and 45 minutes to get in, so if we're not on time, I need to know.

[Adam]

Take the ferry from Connecticut. Yeah. $110 both ways. Yeah. That's brutal. You should have another. Another place where you can stay, though. Do you need a guarantor? Maybe we could have Daddy Dave do it.

[Francis Ellis]

No, no, I'm good.

[Adam]

Dave used to be Carabas's guarantee.

[Dave]

I remember that.

[Adam]

That's not in the book, is it?

[Dave]

It? No.

[Francis Ellis]

Should be.

[Adam]

Should be. It's lore right there. Yeah. Is there still time?

[Francis Ellis]

Let's get on the horn with Dave.

[Dave]

I think that everything the. The door is closed on content for the book.

[Adam]

Really?

[Francis Ellis]

We up. We forgot the Karabis apartment situation tour.

[Adam]

That was a classic. That's definitely going to be in the movie.

[Francis Ellis]

You should just call the editor straight. Don't even go to Dave.

[Adam]

Or like, have a note at the beginning of the book like, sorry, a

[Francis Ellis]

lot of what to Jared.

[Dave]

Epilogue.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah. Epilogue.

[Francis Ellis]

Thank you, Jared.

[Adam]

Like at the end of Shoe Dog when Phil Knight's like. And yeah, we did have some issues in Sweatshops, but like, it wasn't that big of a deal. He saved it for the last page of the book and tried to completely gloss over it.

[Francis Ellis]

It's a power move.

[Adam]

Yeah, me and Bowerman were running, but man, the Nike running shoe technology is out of control. Look at the bottom of this shoe. It's you. There's a parabola on this.

[Francis Ellis]

Are you running in those?

[Adam]

You don't even have to run. It just like, launches you forward.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah, there's like. They're like sketchers.

[Adam]

You just. It's just. Come on, bro. Show some respect.

[Francis Ellis]

Single Nike logo on them.

[Adam]

Don't say that. I got bootlegged.

[Francis Ellis]

Are Volumeros Nike vomeros.

[Adam]

They're there. They're their top notch running shoe.

[Dave]

Oh, there we go.

[Francis Ellis]

I see them. I see it on the front.

[Adam]

The light swoosh. Yeah, there it is on the toe. Right there. I don't want to be wearing sneakers in front of you, Francis. But these are functional.

[Dave]

What's wrong with sneakers?

[Adam]

I know that you. You gave that up a long time ago.

[Francis Ellis]

Well, nice pair of boots.

[Dave]

No, that's not true. I still wear sneakers. Yeah, you've seen me wear sneakers recently.

[Adam]

I saw you wearing zip up boots to the gym.

[Dave]

I mean, you never know when you're gonna have to ruck.

[Adam]

He's wearing full rucking stilettos to the gym.

[Francis Ellis]

All right.

[Adam]

Yes. All right. I was tired of myself happy to be talking to you boys. It's so nice to get in here today and listen to you boys yak. You ever just get tired of yourself?

[Dave]

Well, I'm sure you're in a little bit of an annoying position right now where you're facilitating all of this stuff with the. With the house, the Vegas people.

[Adam]

Nah, that's not. That's.

[Dave]

That has to be a.

[Francis Ellis]

That's been over.

[Dave]

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Francis Ellis]

No, I'm totally kidding.

[Dave]

No, I'm saying, like, I'm. That's me dating this episode. Oh.

[Francis Ellis]

I think we've dated it a couple times.

[Dave]

Yeah, I figured. Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam]

You're unbricked by now. You gave up being bricked on your phone, and you're back on Twitter, on Twitter, starting.

[Dave]

Starting fresh.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. And you're tweeting like cr. Like people are concerned with how much you're tweeting.

[Dave]

Follow me at Francis New.

[Adam]

Because he's trying to get his followers back up.

[Dave]

What have I done?

[Francis Ellis]

I made a grave mistake.

[Dave]

Twitter actually blocked my whole account.

[Adam]

There is an easy way to do that. It's just like, retweet the Elon Musk stories about reverse racism in South Africa, and you'll be. You'll have a billion followers in no time.

[Francis Ellis]

The algorithm will be pumping you.

[Dave]

I don't miss Twitter at all. I do miss scrolling on Instagram. I get the itch for that sometimes.

[Adam]

It's mindless. It's unintentional.

[Francis Ellis]

You ever had a couple ghost scrolls?

[Adam]

I've done it before. I've left the muscles. I've cracked. Book. And tried to.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Swipe up on a physical book.

[Francis Ellis]

Let me know if you need to scroll at all.

[Adam]

Yeah. You can honestly always borrow my algorithm.

[Francis Ellis]

Yeah. Appreciate five or ten.

[Dave]

Thank you.

[Adam]

All right.

[Francis Ellis]

All right.

[Adam]

Triple.

[Francis Ellis]

All right. Wow.

[Adam]

Clip that.

[Dave]

I'll be In San Francisco May 4th to the 6th, I think. Or 5th to the 6th, something like that. Tickets at Punch up live. Francis Ellis.

[Francis Ellis]

All right. All right. We'll be back. Goodbye.
