Ron
Yeah, I mean we. I'm fine to start. Welcome back to the Son of a Boy Dad Podcast. It is Tuesday, July 7th and we are here back in HQ trays. Is that the end of our Chicago episodes?
Harry
Yes. Yeah.
Ron
Cool. So, yeah, that was it. That Was. We completed all those.
Harry
Yeah. We had banks and episodes.
Ron
Yeah. Now we're here. Now we're back. We're back in the studio. I mean, it is a scorcher in here today.
Francis
Yep. Perfect day for a wool flannel.
Ron
Well, you're wearing a denim jacket. I'm saying that I gotta look cool. Well, I'm trying to look cool, too. It's also only, like, 68.
Harry
You guys. Both. You guys. Both are cool. Both your credit. You guys. Good color palette and really nice layering.
Francis
That might be my favorite shirt of yours.
Ron
It's a solid shirt, that one.
Francis
And then the sweater with the. With the fish on it. I love the green one.
Ron
Oh, yeah.
Harry
Yeah. You're kind of getting a little bit too wrapped up in how you look, though.
Ron
Big time.
Harry
I just want to let you know.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Your outfits, you're putting. You're putting too much time into them.
Francis
Yeah. You've gone corporate.
Ron
Yeah, big time.
Harry
He sold out bad.
Francis
Your jokes are suffering.
Ron
Oh, big time.
Francis
You got too good looking.
Harry
Suffering.
Francis
Yeah. But if I had known that you might wear something like that, I might have extended an invitation to the dinner this evening.
Ron
Yeah. Well, so, yeah, let's hear about this dinner.
Francis
We're going to the 86. You would love it. But unfortunately, isn't that kind of term
Ron
that people use for garbage?
Harry
Yeah. Or like when you 86amenu?
Ron
Yeah, yeah, it's 86.
Francis
Cancel an order.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
The 86 has a dress code of smart, elegant attire. Any guest who does not appear sufficiently well presented may be refused entry. That's you.
Ron
I mean, I'm. This is as smart attire as it can get.
Harry
You are dressed for the 86 today.
Ron
This is smart.
Harry
You're dressed like an olive that they put in a martini.
Francis
If I had known you had that in you, I might. I might have said we're three.
Ron
No, no, no, I don't mind. All good.
Francis
I think you mind a little.
Ron
No, I really don't mind. I'm going. Look, I'm going to Wyoming tomorrow. I'm on vacay mode right now.
Francis
Wow.
Harry
Well, what better way to kick off a vacay than like, one of the top 10 toughest reservations to get in the city.
Ron
Yeah, but, you know, I don't. I don't roll like that.
Harry
What do you mean?
Ron
I like to find the easiest reservation to get in the city. I'm more into places that don't have reservations.
Harry
You can just walk right in.
Ron
Yeah, we don't expect frequenter. Yeah, exactly.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Dunkin Donuts.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
You just stand up and you can also get ice cream at. Ye.
Ron
Exactly.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
They serve breakfast all day round.
Ron
Yeah, that's more my speed.
Harry
Wherever you like to go, you got to be fired up for Wyoming.
Ron
I am. I'm very excited. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to it.
Francis
What's the. What's. What's happened with the hotel situation?
Ron
Well, so funny enough, I, like, forgot about that completely. And then Beau hit me up and he had listened to the podcast and he was like, so should we just get a hotel then? And I was like, yeah. I was like, I've been saying we should get a hotel the whole time. And then we got a hotel. No, it's not actually. It's like a moat. We're in like a shitty motel.
Francis
Did they contribute or you?
Ron
Yeah, yeah. I was like, I'll pay for the whole thing. And they're like, no, we'll split it.
Francis
We don't care.
Harry
We don't want to hear about it on your show. Yeah, this is our lives. We, like, we didn't choose the life of being in contact to get poked fun at for our.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
How much are the hotels a night?
Ron
Well, it's a motel and I think it was like, for three people. It was like. Want to say it was like 250, something like that total. Yeah, yeah, it's like, Jackson's expensive.
Harry
You have your own rooms for a moat.
Ron
This like Super 8 per room? No, for one room.
Francis
Oh, you got one room.
Ron
Yeah, we got one room, two beds and a couch.
Francis
I think that's not bad.
Ron
It's not terrible, but for a motel it's not great.
Harry
But I know you're not sleeping on the couch, but, like, since you split it evenly, you should have the option to wind up on the couch.
Ron
Yeah, I'll probably. I mean, there's a chance I'll end up on the couch. Yeah, I got no problem with that.
Harry
One third chance.
Ron
As long as we can just shower before going home, I'm fine. I just don't want to sit on a plane after being in the woods for a week.
Francis
Is this a group of friends with whom you have such comfort that all of you guys can, like, walk around naked after a shower and it's not weird.
Ron
I don't think I have any friends.
Francis
I thought this would have been that true.
Ron
I don't have a single friend that I would do that.
Harry
You're telling me you can't go bare shafted in front of your friends?
Francis
You know, you're just like you have. You come out of the shower with a towel.
Harry
Towel.
Francis
And you're gonna have to change.
Ron
It would be like anything. You'll be like, I'm dropping trowel. Like, turn around.
Francis
Oh, you would say that.
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Harry
You come out with them. You come out of the shower, there's one towel, you put it around your hair and you just walk out there.
Francis
Yeah, exactly.
Harry
That's what I would walk with. With your pubic mount.
Ron
Yeah. No. Yeah. We're not flashing pubes or anything like that. Her especially not.
Harry
I feel like girls do that, like, definitely all the time.
Ron
Yeah, yeah. Girls don't care about that.
Harry
Which is crazy.
Ron
Yeah. They're like piss together and stuff.
Harry
Yeah. In the same toilet.
Ron
Imagine pissing with one of your boys. I like, yo, can you leave
Harry
it? Would it.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
It.
Francis
It. Yeah. I mean, urinals is. It's fine. But if there's one toilet and a single use bathroom, also, I think the
Ron
assumption would be like, those guys are doing drugs in there. Like if me and you were at a bar and we were just in the bathroom together, everyone would be like, they're doing co.
Harry
If the bouncer was like, get the out of there. Yeah.
Ron
Yo, chill, dude.
Harry
I'm.
Ron
My boy's pissing right now.
Francis
We're both pissing in there, talking about something. He's having a hard time. Do you mind?
Ron
Yeah. Men can't get away with that.
Harry
Yeah. It's bullshit.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
It's a double standard. But they're walking around, clams out, cans out. And I think that it's. I really think that it's because there's nothing that's like, dudes, their penises are the one piece of privacy men have. Exactly. And women have no privacy because of athleisure.
Ron
Yes, yes. Very, very right.
Francis
A lot of logic being poured in here, and I'm not sure I follow it all.
Ron
I'm not a big, like, you can't see girl.
Harry
You know what girls all know. There's no, like, surprises when girls all get naked with each other. They're all like, you know, the girls. Like, if she had big boobs or
Ron
small boobs, kind of regardless.
Harry
Not like a dick where it's like you could have the fucking corkscrew dick. Like a fucking duck.
Francis
But. But wait a minute. Hold on a second. Maybe girls are better at reading that than I am. But there have been times where I have unearth breasts that I thought were large and they ended up being smaller or vice versa. Sometimes they were a well kept secret.
Harry
Well, maybe they don't feel the need to fool each other. And they want to fool you.
Francis
Well, they're not just fooling me and not fooling them. You think?
Harry
Yes, I think they're just. Yeah, like, I'm doing whatever.
Ron
I think they're fooling you and specifically not fooling them.
Francis
Oh, I'm going on a date with Francis tonight. Let me wear three sports bras.
Harry
Yeah. Help me. Help me with.
Ron
That's much more likely to happen going out with you than going out with her friends.
Francis
I don't want him to think. I don't want him to like me the way way my friends do for my big boobs, for how honest I am about my large breasts.
Harry
Yeah. I really think that's what it is.
Francis
I want him to think I'm humble.
Harry
I really think that's what it comes down to there. There's not many friends that I have that I'm going bare shafted in front of as well. But I think that's because I didn't play many team sports.
Ron
Yeah, I think that's me.
Harry
I think the team sports brothers are
Ron
more likely to like dudes that play soccer.
Harry
They, like, run trains.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah. They pretty.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Ron
They each.
Francis
I think. I don't think it's soccer so much as it's hockey. Football, lacrosse.
Ron
I would say soccer one, hockey two. I do. Like. I do think hockey is right.
Francis
I don't think basketball is that high, Ron. I think that a lot of those basketball teams have individual stalls.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Teams are small, so they can do that.
Ron
Yeah. And they're also deeply homophobic.
Francis
We. Yeah, correct.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
We.
Francis
We had to shower in the type of shower you go through when you check in at Rikers. Yeah.
Harry
Yeah. You're getting sprayed down in your shaved.
Francis
You're going into hurt. Yeah, exactly.
Ron
Do you think they changed that, though? Like, do you think since you've been there, like, they probably added, like, curtains? Because I remember when I was in middle school, we didn't have, like, the lot. The gym. I mean, obviously you were only going there for gym. So you weren't. No one was really actually showering after. But then I remember going to high school, and they updated everything and they had curtains now.
Francis
We didn't. They don't have curtains. There's a team building element to showering together.
Harry
That's how, like, Dion used to be. Like, hey, you need to. As men, you need to be able to shower together. Which means, like, you need to just be able to have all your insecurities and flaws laid bare. And I think that that's probably what it does. And with basketball players, they have the most to lose because like, if a seven foot dude has a small dick, it's like.
Ron
Yeah, if Wemby's got a. Yeah.
Harry
If he's just got enough. He's got a little button, then like. Yeah, that's pretty funny.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah, that shit's actually hilarious.
Ron
And that'll. But honestly, that, that'll probably hurt the dynamic of the team. Like, if you find out that your all star player has a micro penis, you're like, is this supposed to be the guy that's leading us into battle?
Harry
I'm not passing him the ball. I'm not giving him the rock, bro. You got a micropene and you want him to take the last shot at the end of the game.
Ron
Yeah. The game winning shot.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah. That's got to be tough. But I mean, there has to be dudes who have all the secrets.
Ron
I think soccer, like, judging off of people, I knew that place. Like, the soccer kids were always just like. Not even like as an insult. Not. It's not like a gay way. Like, they were all just like, like the guy. I don't know how to describe. Like, they were like energetic and like, like didn't really care about anything but soccer. So it was like they were kind of just like. Like I could see them pulling their dicks out and stuff in the locker room. Like, that was like a brother.
Francis
You're telling me that like, dedication.
Ron
It was a brother.
Francis
Leads to like forced nudity.
Ron
Yes.
Francis
I don't.
Ron
Yeah, no, I think it does.
Francis
I don't think that's. For me, it was more like frattiness.
Ron
I guess that's kind of what I was looking for.
Francis
But we, I, we. I played on both teams and I can tell you it's. Well, this is regional.
Ron
It's regional.
Harry
But he played in college. He played soccer too. People never talk about that with Francis, but he played. No, I know the soccer and the lack.
Francis
And I showered with the both teams. And I can tell you that the soccer team was much more shy about it than.
Harry
He's puked on the ground. He's outside.
Francis
Yeah, they were for sure. And part of that was that the soccer team was very diverse, whereas the lacrosse team was just all white.
Ron
Yeah, I could see that. That actually that plays a big factor.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Race.
Francis
Correct.
Harry
Yeah. The US Men's soccer team penises have to look like the rainbow. We have all races.
Ron
Did you guys watch that whole game?
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah, that was pretty tough.
Harry
Sucked.
Francis
I knew that was Going to happen.
Ron
Yeah, I did too. I went out. I went out with some. Some pals.
Harry
I went out Belgian guys, Lev and.
Ron
And Shane and all those guys. And Gillis. Yeah, yeah, Gillis Fair and the famous one.
Francis
And was Sean there?
Ron
No, Sean wasn't there.
Francis
Oh.
Ron
But I looked at Lev 20 minutes into the game, and I was like, this is over.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Before anyone talking about, man. No, it's not. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's not. But in the back of my head, I was like, this game's over.
Francis
Started. We looked like fools.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
And, you know, then we scored a rem free kick. That guy.
Ron
That guy. That was sick.
Francis
Unbelievable.
Ron
That was like some hope was back.
Francis
And then maybe we will do it 30 seconds later.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
And you're like, yeah, it is over, bro.
Ron
I. I honestly, I was gonna save this joke for the pod because I made it at. At the. At the pub last night. Big pop, big roar. Of course. And then I looked on Twitter and Trent literally said the exact same thing word for word. But it was a funny thought.
Harry
Trent?
Ron
Trent from barstool.
Francis
Trent Ryan.
Harry
You're stealing jokes from Trent now?
Ron
Yeah, well, so that's why I had to say that before. But just like the idea of, like, the goalie getting scored on and then being like, why the. Am I in the center of the field right now? Like, he was so far up, it was insane. I don't even watch soccer. I. I can't imagine that's a normal.
Francis
Like, he had to come out and play the ball.
Ron
Yeah, but he was out.
Francis
Well, he was, though. His problem was that he hesitated once he had the ball at his feet.
Ron
All you did.
Francis
No, he stopped. All you to do was just kick it by way. Harvard guy. Embarrassing.
Ron
That's a disgrace.
Francis
He's a Harvard guy.
Harry
That could have been you.
Francis
I know.
Ron
Genuinely could have been.
Francis
I had. I had a joke.
Ron
Like, that could have been you now. I think you could have been the goalie on that.
Harry
Well, you would. I mean, yeah, it wouldn't be hard not to make that. That move. He has to have been so embarrassed. The way his foot, like, hit the ground trying to kick it. It was like his powers got zapped, like, in Space Jam. Like, everything taken away from him.
Ron
He was like the. It was like the. It was like the video of Charles Barkley swinging.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah, that was. That was tough. But, like, luckily, if it was. If they lost three, two, it would have been way more painful. They got fucking boat race.
Ron
That fourth goal was almost as bad as the. As the third?
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Nah, that one was pretty bad.
Harry
Fourth. The third was his bat. That's like historic. That will do.
Francis
The second that guy Ramallo Bukaki came on the field, I knew we were absolutely fucked. He is built so differently from anyone else on the soccer.
Ron
Bukaki.
Harry
They're so fast to the ball, the Belgians.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Like their first touch just so they
Francis
didn't even play one of their best players.
Ron
Yeah. That's like that guy who's placed for
Francis
Man City or did. What's the blonde haired kid's name?
Ron
I forget what, like I thought I fucking Tommy.
Francis
He's one of the best assists guys then. Then the guy. Yeah, whatever. We should. We should move on. I don't want to talk about soccer. Although I want to.
Ron
Hi.
Francis
Because this is going to come out on Thursday. By that point it'll be.
Ron
But everyone wants to rag on the team, you know, everyone.
Harry
They let us down.
Francis
Yeah. The truth is we still do have Belgium for our Draft DraftKings thing.
Harry
So that's Belgium. We are traders. Dave actually was pissed off for that.
Ron
Yeah. That's treason.
Harry
But Piers Morgan. Yeah, Dave was like, then leave.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harry
He was like, then get the out of the country if you're gonna have Belgian in your draftkings.
Francis
Yeah, cool.
Harry
But Piers Morgan's having us on the show this week.
Ron
Yeah. So that'll be good.
Harry
Should be sick.
Francis
I don't understand. What, is Piers Morgan having someone. Is Dave on?
Harry
No. Dave and Piers Morgan are arguing on Twitter.
Francis
What?
Harry
And Piers Morgan's like fucking. You don't understand the rules.
Francis
Oh, it's about soccer.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Okay.
Harry
Yeah. And he's like, you've invited me on your show a hundred times.
Ron
Well, I've said that. Or Pierce Morgan said that.
Harry
Dave said that about Pierce Pierce.
Ron
Piers Pierce.
Harry
Bullshit name.
Francis
I don't really know what his job is. Is he a journalist?
Ron
I have no idea.
Francis
He's a judge on Britain's Got Talent. Through the golden years of that show. I used to watch that on YouTube all the time.
Harry
If you're British, there is like a job for just being sassy. Like, you don't even have to have a specialty. They'll just like put you in stuff.
Ron
Yeah. There's a little bit of tune.
Harry
Like Simon Cowell being like the guy who decides like for 20 years what musicians get to be on the radio. And he's just like a guy with big teeth and an attitude. Like what? He doesn't sing. He doesn't like write songs. He's like, you're good. You're not.
Ron
Yeah, he's just a dick.
Harry
Yeah, he's just a arrogant dick. And there's just a.
Francis
Yes, but he's also made the right call so many times. He's the one that told Harry Styles he was like, you should be in a boy band and here are the other people you're going to be in that with. And there's one Direction.
Ron
That's definitely got to be his, like, biggest thing. Right? Like that. That's got to be his claim to fame.
Harry
Maybe so, but I mean, when American Idol came out, like, Kelly Clarkson was like, yeah, immediately.
Ron
But one day, super dark. We're talking 1D here.
Harry
I know, but like way before 1D. Clarkson, maybe. Not Stadiums. Stadiums having all of them. The fact that he had Zayn too. Did he get it?
Ron
Did he get a slice of that, you think? Do they get, like, signed to, like, American Idols record label or some?
Francis
I think Simon Cowell has a production company probably.
Ron
He's probably rich as fuck.
Harry
I know on Shark Tank they tried to do that. They were going to be like, you. We get 3% of every company. And I think Mark Cuban was like, I'm not doing the show. If you guys. If you guys do that.
Ron
They wanted 3% of every company that came on.
Harry
Came on.
Ron
Yeah. That's fucking nuts.
Francis
Wow.
Harry
Ambassadors pigs. Yeah. He gets paid for everything but One Direction does. I wonder if he still gets Styles money. You got to get out to a Style show. It seems like one of the best representations of girlhood. Yeah.
Ron
Is he touring? I don't think he's touring right now.
Francis
Harry.
Ron
Yeah, buddy.
Harry
What? Wake up.
Francis
Is he.
Harry
Get your head out of your ass. Oh, he's not even on the Internet and he knows that.
Ron
But I thought. I don't. Am I wrong? I think you guys are both wrong.
Francis
Oh, no, you're.
Ron
I'm wrong.
Francis
I think you guys are both wrong. Listen to yourself.
Ron
I think that I, I. We are both emphatic a fact.
Francis
And it's two on one and you're still digging.
Ron
I'm going need let him state his
Harry
case before we fact check it. Why do you think he.
Ron
I remember last time he was on tour, it was the only thing on my timeline and I haven't seen anything about him in months. Years maybe. I don't think I've seen anything about him since he did MSG like 20 times. When's his next show?
Francis
Like, in two weeks. He's going to do.
Ron
So he's getting back on the road in two weeks?
Francis
No, he's going to do a. He just in London last week garden.
Ron
He's doing pop up shows here and there and he's getting back on the road in a couple weeks.
Francis
Look at how many MSG shows he's doing. He's doing like a fucking month.
Harry
And that's this. That's right now.
Ron
Holy shit, dude. That should be illegal. That's a monopoly. He shouldn't be allowed to do that many.
Francis
Look at how many MSG shows it is. What is it, 30? Is he doing a whole month there?
Ron
It's got to be over 20.
Francis
Wow.
Harry
So he's just. Any weekend they don't have something, he's like, yeah, I'll just do one there.
Francis
Not even the weekends. It's Monday, Tuesday.
Harry
So.
Ron
Do you think that is like nerve wracking to him at, at all? No, it's just like, just, I gotta go do this.
Francis
I think he's just got it, dude.
Ron
I feel like music too is just like, once you are successful, it's got to be the easiest ever.
Harry
You know, people like the songs.
Ron
Yeah, he's got like an unlimited discography of music.
Francis
Yeah, but he doesn't.
Ron
He can be like, oh, they didn't like that one. I guess I'll just play the one that has 2 trillion views on YouTube.
Francis
It's exhausting. And you got to sell the shit out of it every night. You got to sell it hard. You got to like perform it.
Ron
Especially because everyone going, it's like the biggest thing of their life. They've been dying for this.
Francis
Think about the energy difference between us being like, I was at a bar the other night and anyway, I do
Ron
understand, like, I'm probably dancing and sweating
Francis
for three and a half hours and being like, are you out there?
Ron
New York City? Yeah, yeah, I do agree with that. But at the same time, like, there's no stress of like, is this going to work?
Francis
That's not the issue. He needs to uphold a level of showmanship that if he doesn't, then he's not selling 30 shows the next time he comes to New York.
Harry
I'm kind of with Harry on this one. I think it's awesome for him every night, like, he's treated in a way that human beings shouldn't, should never. Like, we're not even like biologically prepared to be treated like that. Like 20,000 people, like, singing your thoughts to you is fucking insane. That's like Aztec Emperor. Like, no one should be. No one should be doing that. Night after night, his. His soul is getting fed in a Different way.
Francis
Since both of you feel that way. I will admit that I don't believe in my point. That's how that's supposed to work.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Wow.
Harry
I've never heard that before.
Francis
I see my point.
Ron
500.
Harry
I was just about to say, are you seeing what Francis is doing in real time?
Ron
I am y exceeding his point. It generated 11.5 million pre sale registrations.
Harry
I think like Fran and Kelly Keegs
Francis
just flew out to India, went to London. They went to see him at Wembley
Harry
to watch him at Wembley. And I think his shows are all girls. I think it's a billion girls.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Like.
Ron
Like more so than like Taylor Swift.
Harry
Yes.
Ron
Yeah, probably.
Harry
I don't even think the boyfriends are coming.
Francis
No, I don't think the three of us went. Every girl there would be like, look at those three soccer players.
Ron
Yeah, probably.
Harry
Probably show together.
Francis
They must have been knocked out of the World cup earlier.
Harry
Yeah, that was.
Ron
I don't know if there's any bands out there, unfortunately, that I would travel for.
Harry
Honestly, that sounds like a nice way to do a trip. To have a central thing of the trip. Like I'm going to this. Yeah. Like the Eagles play in London in October and I think I'm going to go with my family. But go to London. But also just like boom.
Francis
Okay, we'll come.
Ron
Yeah, I mean, I guess.
Harry
Would you guys like to.
Francis
Can we babysit?
Harry
Oh God, I'm not bringing my kids.
Francis
Oh, you're not bringing your kids?
Harry
Oh, hell no. They're not going on a flight until they're at least in high school.
Francis
Why am I getting so many calls from this one person?
Harry
You gotta answer it. Is it could be the. Is it a. It's not a.
Francis
Just gonna text them back.
Harry
You have to. Or just give them a buzz.
Ron
Do you know who it is?
Francis
I think so, but I'm not entirely sure.
Harry
Well, it sounds urgent. We get edited out. We could easily edit it out.
Francis
No, this is. This is spam.
Ron
I've been getting banged by the spam lately. Same non stop same.
Harry
Why does it come in waves like that?
Ron
I don't know.
Harry
Do they get new spam technology?
Francis
I think somehow know where you are because when I like get back into a certain region, I get it all the time.
Ron
Oh really? Yeah, I was thinking, I thought it was just like maybe you went on the wrong website for like, like signed up for the wrong thing.
Francis
Your number has been leaked.
Ron
That's what's happened.
Francis
There was a. I saw something pop up on. By the way you said I'm off the Internet. I'm back on the Instagram.
Harry
Really?
Francis
Couldn't. Couldn't stay away. Just the Instagram, huh?
Ron
How does it feel?
Francis
I mean, I'm totally like aimlessly scrolling again. Yeah, Just instantly rehook.
Harry
I could tell. You look so much better.
Ron
You look healthy.
Harry
Well, yeah, you look well rested.
Francis
The one thing that's changed which is good, is that not like shopping anymore.
Ron
Oh, that's good.
Francis
I haven't spent money in like eight weeks, seven weeks. I don't know what. Since I got back from. From. Since I left Paris. That was where I said no more. And I. I'm just saving. I'm saving endlessly. Not only am I saving, I'm selling. Oh, selling.
Harry
You're liquidating.
Francis
I am streamlining my life.
Ron
Everything.
Harry
Selling.
Francis
I sold my guitar.
Ron
Oh, I didn't know you had one.
Francis
I didn't either. I haven't played it in so long, I got sick of it and I was like, this is embarra. Someone deserves to play that. It's a beautiful, beautiful guitar.
Harry
What kind of guitar was it?
Francis
It's a Gibson ES335, I think.
Ron
As soon as I hear that G. I know.
Francis
Yeah, it was big time.
Ron
A Gibson.
Harry
How's the coffee game?
Francis
Coffee game's great.
Harry
Okay.
Francis
Coffee. No, no, no, I love those. Thank you. Thank you.
Ron
That's.
Harry
It's an electric.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
$3,500.
Francis
No, I bought mine used so beast. But it was beautiful. Yeah, it's like, I don't know what it cost when I bought.
Ron
What you sell it for.
Francis
So I. I say that I sold it. I listed it on Facebook. Marketplace.
Ron
Getting a lot of hits though.
Francis
I haven't checked. I just did this.
Harry
You should sign it.
Francis
No, I don't think I'll do that.
Ron
As someone else though. You don't have to use like, do like Bon Jovi or something.
Harry
Yeah, yeah.
Francis
The former owner of the guitar sold. Signed it like it was his son's coat.
Ron
Put your phone number on.
Francis
My phone number on the inside. Yeah. Lost. Please return to this reward. $50.
Harry
You gotta sign that guitar. You could probably wipe it right off. It's probably has a nice finish on it. What color is it?
Ron
Beautiful.
Harry
It.
Francis
It is very much that dark walnut all brown one.
Ron
Oh, I like that one more.
Francis
Yeah, the dark, dark one on the right there.
Harry
I didn't. I didn't even know that you were a six string man.
Francis
Okay, everybody, listen up. You all have to take a look at the new Montauk shoe by Helm boots.
Harry
Oh, that's so nice.
Francis
We've been wearing these around. It's kind of like a loafer meets a boat shoe. They look great. I'm a huge fan. They've got these beautiful kind of white rubbery soles. So you know, you feel good wearing them on a boat. They got that summer feel, but then they have this beautiful suede upper that's so soft. You don't have to break these puppies in. Okay. You put these on, it's a sock right off the bat. That perfect shoe for summer.
Harry
It's like for dressing smart. If you want to dress smart, that's the kind of thing you want to wear to a nice dinner where if the dress code's dressed smart, you wear that.
Francis
Right. Smart and elegant. The kind of shoe you would wear to a dinner at the 86 if you were invited.

Ron
Oh, no.
Francis
What?
Ron
Are you getting surgery again?
Francis
No, again.
Ron
Well, you got the hairline.
Francis
Oh, my God.
Harry
No.
Francis
I just end up. I just sort of scratch my head all the time. And it was really starting to annoy me that I was doing this all the time. And I looked up ways to stop it. And one of the ways they said to stop it was to wear hats. Like winter hats, wool beanies. But I can't do that because I get Too hot. So I ordered a do rag.
Harry
Now you pat it.
Francis
I figured that would be, like, nice and cool. And I'm gonna wear do rags as I'm relaxing at night.
Ron
That's good.
Harry
That should be so nice.
Francis
You think that's okay?
Harry
What color?
Ron
Yeah, of course.
Harry
White. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ron
Gotta be white.
Francis
Eminem wore them.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harry
Jamie Kennedy wore one in that one movie he filmed.
Francis
I'm gonna wear do rags from now on.
Ron
That's hilarious.
Francis
Not in public, just in my private time.
Ron
What about, like, maybe in the morning if you go out to, like, get the paper?
Harry
You forget your bonnets on?
Francis
Just that I'm. I need to do it. I need to wear it during my heavy scratching hours. Yeah.
Harry
Which are.
Francis
It's evening.
Harry
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the most fail safe way.
Francis
Yeah, yeah.
Ron
I mean, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Francis
Speaking of scratching, I lost a lot of golf balls this weekend and I went looking for them. Look at what my leg. Look what I did to my leg.
Harry
Oh, okay. That looks like a pagan symbol. There's an X and a crescent moon. Were you kidnapped by Turkey? What the fuck is that?
Francis
Yeah, I was just wading through brambles looking for more golf balls.
Harry
Where did you hit it? Into the mouth of an alligator.
Francis
It was all over the map this weekend. My golf game. Game is a problem right now.
Harry
Don't say that, bro. Do not you say that.
Francis
Might need to sell my golf clubs.
Harry
No, we need you dialed in for the invitational. Me and Sass are putting big futures on you.
Francis
I love it. Hell yeah.
Ron
Yeah, we're kind of depending on that money.
Harry
Yeah, as a show. Dave is too.
Francis
You went to Portugal?
Harry
Yeah, it's present Tuesday.
Ron
Oh, hell yeah, it's present Tuesday.
Francis
Is it? It is present Tuesday. Oh, my God, it's present Tuesday.
Harry
Francis, I got you a limited edition commemorative piece of Cristiano Ronaldo chocolate. Wow.
Francis
I love his chocolate. Cristiano Ronaldo Chocolate
Harry
7 70. I think that you'll really enjoy that.
Francis
This is awesome.
Harry
You could honestly bite right into it. And Sass, I got you a can of sardines.
Ron
Oh, thank you.
Francis
That'll be eaten by hair.
Harry
Yeah, we got you a can of sardines.
Francis
That's actually really cool. Look at that tin, Harry. I like that tin a lot. You can use that for your weed.
Ron
This is crazy.
Francis
I don't know if it's big enough to hold all these reels.
Harry
Yeah, they're sardines. Try one.
Francis
Those are chocolate sardines.
Harry
They're Chocolate sardines. They're chocolate sardines.
Ron
This is sick.
Harry
Of course, bro. You got to share them with the boys.
Francis
On the man. Thank you for this. This is awesome.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Some.
Harry
Bite into it. Bite into it. You don't have to. I mean, what, are you going to save it forever? No, some commemorative.
Ron
Those are going for like 30k a piece.
Francis
Yeah, I was going to say. Do you think I could sell this?
Ron
You just bought.
Harry
You just opened it at the white party. Mr. Wonderful was wearing one of them as a necklace. Mr. Wonderful was wearing a Cristiano Ronaldo chocolate box around his neck. Like some bling.
Ron
Enjoy the trip.
Francis
Bye.
Harry
Bye.
Francis
Would you like some?
Harry
I better not. How is it?
Ron
See you next Tuesday.
Francis
Better not.
Harry
Enjoy dinner tonight.
Francis
Big dinner tonight.
Ron
Euro dose.
Harry
Yeah. That's just some nice. I mean, Portugal is beautiful. Have you been?
Francis
No.
Harry
Oh, you'd love it.
Ron
How was the flight?
Harry
The flight was bad.
Ron
Really?
Harry
Why?
Ron
Did you have the kids?
Harry
Yeah, I brought my kids with me. Me.
Francis
You would know this if you were on the Chappie C. Seymour.
Harry
Yeah, I.
Ron
Of course I saw that. And also I knew he had his kids.
Harry
It's like a 17 hour travel day and it was an overnight flight. And on the way out, I was really trying to prepare and like, I. So I like worked out, stretch, you know, hit the weights, hit my protein goals.
Ron
Of course.
Harry
Over hit the protein goals, had a salad, started farting. Started farting? Yeah. It's a lot of farting. Walked the cvs, got the gas. Gas X was so locked in.
Ron
Does Gas X do anything for you?
Harry
For me, it kind of like.
Ron
I think it makes it worse.
Harry
Walking.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Makes me hurt. Yeah.
Harry
Huh.
Francis
I just don't like shoving pills up my ass, so I don't know why that's the right method.
Harry
I had the big one, though, so it really just kind of. It like kind of nuked. It was like when Trump threw the nuclear weapon at the hurricane. But it was a terrifying. Like the whole ordeal of the fight was just from the time they sat down on the plane until seven hours later when we landed. They were. One of them was screaming for the entire time.
Francis
It's pretty brutal.
Harry
Everybody has always been like, it's. It's like five minutes or my kid was fine. It was not fine. No one has ever told the horror story that I went through. And it was so bad and so stressful. I was drenched in sweat.
Ron
Oh, my God.
Harry
Having the arguments in my head of everybody else with everybody else in my imagination of what they were thinking about me in Delta 1, my kids are going back and forth screaming. Yeah, imagine if you were in. Then I gay flight attendant to gay flight attendant and he was fucking worse. Beating me to death with dirty looks and fucking overpowers of other people's wine glasses just to be like, yeah, you're going to need this because that guy's fucking can't handle his children. They were sick, they were teething. It was fucking.
Ron
That is brutal. Delta 1 too.
Harry
Delta 1, there is no luxury to the experience.
Ron
I don't know about that.
Harry
I said in the chat. Bcc, if they had put Al Qaeda through what I gone through, we would have known Osama bin laden's location on September 12th. There's no doubt in my mind. It was fucking, it was, it was so bad. It was so. Francis said after he read it, he, he gave himself an at home vasectomy.
Francis
He's went in with my, with a
Harry
pen like Jason Bourne, like MacGyver.
Ron
That's pretty brutal. I mean we're. Did anyone say anything? Anything?
Harry
As everybody was getting off, there was another guy who I'd even seen in the Delta One lounge with another, his little daughter. And he was like, oh look, there's two of them. And then on the way out, he was like, hang in there, buddy. He looked me dead in the eye. Hang in there, buddy.
Francis
Okay, so you, you get off the plane, you get your bags, you get to your hotel. You said it was a two and a half hour drive to your hotel.
Harry
Two and a half hour drive to the hotel. We had gate check the stroller. The stroller's not there. We had to take like a bus for 20 minutes to get to the actual place and then walk like three miles. My wife's carrying both kids under each one of her arms and I'm carrying every duffel bag with my leg dragging behind me. It was like, it was like dragging bodies off Hacksaw Ridge. It was so fucking violent and just so like I was so sweaty and like embarrassed and everybody's morale was breaking down around me. We had a dead serious conversation about like just going back, back like when
Ron
you got, when you land.
Harry
Just being like, this is not, this is not good. This is not going to be worth it. Like we talked about turning right around. Well, it was as bad as it, as it could have been, but it was an incredible. I mean the vacation was nice, but I was thinking about staying really, because I didn't want to fly back.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, that's almost just move, just have someone ship the house out.
Francis
Do you know that as recently as a couple of years ago, Portugal had this thing called the Golden Visa, where it was like, if you bought real estate there, they would just give you a visa.
Harry
Visa, really?
Francis
They're trying to like grow out their country.
Harry
Really?
Francis
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think it's happening anymore.
Harry
They might be, I don't know. They don't fuck with foreigners though in the. They don't like. I guess a bunch of British people came down there, a lot of German people came down there. And in the, the Algarve where I was. They do not.
Ron
Colonizers.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
The Brits. You see the Brits, you run.
Harry
Yeah, they're absolutely being. Definitely being racist.
Francis
So you're at the hotel.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
And you crash and you guys all get to finally see sleep. That must have been a nice nap.
Ron
Did you sleep right when you got in?
Harry
Sleep? When we got. We got the hotel room for a night earlier. So when we got there we could just check right in. So left, took a nap, woke up, took another nap. So wealthy.
Francis
Yeah, I love it.
Harry
And then they just slept till like 11 o' clock the next day. They just slept like two and a half hour drive.
Ron
Post flight is pretty bad.
Harry
It was like 17 hours door to door.
Ron
And that's like as bad as we had an hour and a half drive, I think in Birmingham after the flight. And I wanted to blow my head
Harry
off and you're an adult with like control of your emotions.
Ron
I was the only one I was responsible for.
Harry
Yeah. You know what you're going through. Like I couldn't even explain it to them that it was going to be longer. They're just screaming at the top of their lungs like one of their ears must have popped on the way down. Just like they don't even know what that is. No, no.
Ron
That's the first time I've ever felt that.
Harry
It was insane.
Francis
There's a gun in my head, somebody has shot my head.
Harry
I have Havana syndrome. There's a buzzing.
Francis
Oh my God, that must be hell.
Harry
It was so funny.
Francis
So I'm sorry.
Harry
No, no, it was just nuts.
Francis
So you get to the hotel, you fall asleep. At what point did you finally get to the point where you're like, oh, deep breath. We're here. We're relaxed now. We're on vacation. This is nice. How long did you it take the.
Harry
I mean that night, going out to dinner, it was already awesome because there's like these big steps, like these sprawling staircases and the kids are like learning, trying to crawl in like cute, handsome outfits. And I was like, okay, this actually rules. And then the next day we drop them off at a daycare and we're at the pool slugging daiquiris and talking with people from Dallas and it's like, oh, I'm home. Yeah, yeah, good, good, good. Daycare, Portugal daycare.
Francis
How long were they at the daycare
Harry
for the whole week.
Ron
Yeah,
Harry
that was the vacation.
Ron
They saw the stats.
Harry
We heard that the best daycare and no they, but they went for a couple of the days to daycare, but we would take them to like little towns nearby. Yeah, it was, it was lovely. It was like.
Ron
Is it like hard to get into the full relaxation mode when you know you've got the flight home home? Like it's in the back of your head. Are you like.
Harry
I was like, it literally, it cannot get worse than that.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
And I was like, I've already walked through the valley of the shadow of death. I already know what hell smells like and I've been there before. And so I was like, it can only be a little bit better flight backs during the daytime. So it's like, at least they'll be up. But it was truly just some, some absolutely beautiful. Dude. There's a 13 course tasting menu that I went to a couple Michelin stars. It would have knocked your socks off.
Francis
Wow.
Ron
Thirteen.
Harry
I actually ordered, ordered six bottles of wine that, that they, they gave us. I need to bring one back for you present Tuesday. Would you like one of them?
Ron
No, no, I'm okay.
Harry
Are you sure? Yeah, it was a bit, it was a smoky wine. I mean, contact with the. I should be, I should with the producer. I'm Instagram messaging with the producer. It was, it was a lovely trip. Made me want to travel with you boys. We got to get on the road together.
Ron
Gotta get to Portugal.
Harry
We gotta get to Portugal.
Francis
I was, I was asking all those detailed questions because I'm just trying to get a. Of sense, a sense of what it's like to, you know, have young children and, and whether or not that's something I want or if I want to just continue to focus on my career. Like I have been.
Harry
What about have getting old children and just kind of like jumping third base.
Francis
Yeah. Housebroken kids. Hypoallergenic house. Broken kids.
Harry
Boys go to the shelter.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
The battered boys shelter and just scoop up a boy or two or something. Give them like seven years.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
And then get back, get back to the career.
Ron
What if you just got like two like ten year old boys?
Harry
Yeah. Seven or Eight years and then they go to. They go off to college kind of good.
Francis
I think 10 is. You've been in the system too long. You start. They know all kinds of tricks. Institutional, they're. They're bad.
Ron
They're bad at that point. They're already bad.
Francis
Bad stuff has happened to them. They're going to be bad. I think you want like five.
Ron
Yeah, but five is like what, five though.
Francis
You can. Sorry.
Ron
Emotionally immature five year old.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
You want one who's mature and emotionally stunted. Five year old.
Francis
You just dropped, drop a one. You take them to like a, a town square and you'd be like, find your way home. Yeah.
Harry
So you want to drive?
Francis
Yeah, right.
Ron
I don't know about this.
Harry
I think that what you want, you want like a 22 year old Russian girl pretending to be a 5 year old.
Ron
I like that.
Harry
That's the best.
Francis
That might be the plot of the movie, the Orphan.
Harry
Okay, Maybe that's what that is.
Ron
You just don't want to be on that flight to Portugal with like a screaming baby. But the baby's five. Then people are going to be looking at you like, yo, can you tell him to shut the up? He was in a home.
Harry
You really don't hear shit about orphanages anymore. Growing up, I feel like they were everywhere. Are they out of style?
Ron
Big time.
Francis
A big, A big part of it. I don't know. This is actually, I don't know if this is true.
Harry
Say it. Say it anyway.
Ron
I want to hear the theory at least.
Francis
I know that when our relations with China and Russia cooled, the ability of an American set of parents to adopt from orphanages in those countries became much harder and.
Ron
Wait, what do you mean cooled?
Francis
Like we don't get on that well.
Ron
Like we don't. Like, like not going well.
Francis
My uncle.
Ron
I thought you meant cooled as in like tensions settled down?
Francis
No, when things got worse. Yeah. So my aunt and uncle adopted two beautiful girls from Russian orphanages. And I don't think that you can do that. I don't know if it's possible anymore.
Ron
I don't. I would be shocked if it was.
Francis
I don't think they're letting American parents adopt. Maybe they are, but it's. I know it's hard, harder. And I think that's also true of China.
Ron
But they have to go to Russia.
Francis
Yeah, they had to go.
Ron
I don't think. Can Americans even go to Russia right now, Tucker?
Francis
I would think. I would think they can, but it's probably ill advised by the State Department or whatever.
Harry
I think that they're also, like. The problem is they're training these babies as spies. And so it's, like, from an early age, like, they know the craft. They know spycraft very well.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
And it's not. It's not safe to have them on us. So oil.
Ron
So you can go to Russia, but it's got a level 4 do not travel advisory.
Francis
Yeah. But it's only bad when it gets to level 13.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah.
Francis
Tyler, could you just quickly look up whether or not it is more difficult now for American parents to adopt from Russian orphanages?
Ron
That should be a standard. Just yes or no.
Francis
I'm not surprised. It's not populating.
Harry
I know it's a big process for the. To get them from China, but they also might be hiding the fact that their birth rate is cracked. Crashing.
Ron
Definitely.
Harry
They might just be like, oh, no, you can't have them.
Francis
It is not just harder. It is entirely impossible. American citizens have been legally barred from adopting Russian children since Russia enacted the Dima Yakov love law in 2012. This ban completely shut down what was previously one of the largest international adoption programs in the world. I've never been more right on the podcast.
Ron
Yeah, no, it's pretty solid.
Harry
Yeah. That's so good.
Francis
I've never had something be more true.
Harry
Harry, I invite you to argue at this point, though.
Ron
No, no.
Francis
Find a way that I'm wrong and you're right on that.
Ron
I'm sure someone's adopted.
Francis
Sure.
Ron
I'm sure there's somebody out there who's gotten a Russian baby past 2012.
Francis
I love it. I love it.
Harry
I wonder why they stopped it. They just thought that our.
Francis
That, like, think about it, Right? Like, parents that want to adopt children are. That is, like, monumentally important, and they're
Harry
the best of us.
Francis
Happiness inducing. Also could be that they've struggled to have kids for a long time, whatever the case. And Russia hating us is like, yeah, we're gonna take away that joy from you.
Ron
Oh, yeah.
Harry
You think that's what it is?
Francis
Absolutely.
Harry
I thought it was just, like, we don't want Russians being raised by Americans.
Ron
Oh, no. I think it's. They don't want to give us kids.
Harry
They don't want to have us have the joy of having kids.
Francis
That's right. They're punishing us because we were adopting kids. Russia for many years.
Harry
Well, I think China. I get why they do it because they want to, like, slow down our, like, the growth of the Ivy League schools and stuff like that. But, like, Russia, like, it's not like, what, the Russians are coming to the US and thriving at sports or anything like that. You know, they're opening up barber shops in, like, if you beach.
Ron
If you were to adopt a Russian baby, does that baby now become American? If you're a US citizen.
Francis
100.
Ron
So, like, your Russian baby could play in, like, the U.S. olympic Olympics.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. And not only that, dude, but they're not. They're not growing up with Russian accents.
Ron
Well, of course I know. I know that they're not like, where is my bush?
Harry
I want my bottle, mother.
Francis
Take me to football practice.
Harry
I'm tired of milk. Give me vodka.
Ron
I definitely didn't think that
Harry
they grow up as little ballet dancers who are drunk and like to climb to the top of buildings.
Francis
They're like, oh, look, the Bachelor is on again. I can't wa to watch this and text with my group chat about it.
Ron
I just didn't know, like, the logistic, like, if that was possible, because I know they're, like, pretty, but I bet that the US Baby could find a way to play for Russia.
Harry
Yeah. I think when you have the duel, you can kind of pick, like, balance.
Ron
Once you're adopted, you don't have the duel.
Francis
They don't have dual citizenship.
Ron
Good. They shouldn't.
Francis
I don't think Russia has a further law or a dreamer law. Right.
Ron
Oh, I have no idea where.
Francis
Like, if you're born there, you're necessarily retained citizenship, I don't think. I bet you that any baby that leaves Russia to be adopted by an American family is automatically loses their Russian citizenship.
Harry
Yeah. They're petty about it. They're like, fine, then leave.
Francis
I can't imagine that there are too many people who have dual Russian and American citizenship, period.
Ron
Probably Snowden.
Harry
Maybe Ovechkin lives in Russia.
Francis
Does that mean he's a citizen? Was he granted?
Ron
I pretty sure. Doesn't Russia have Snowden? Like, he's, like, living there and they, like, occasionally they'll, like, threaten to give him back to the U.S. i think
Francis
we're wading into those murky waters we often find ourselves in where we start to guess.
Ron
I don't think Snowden is a citizen anywhere, to be honest. I'm pretty sure he's like.
Harry
He's like a Russian baby from after 2012.
Ron
Like, multiple different governments own him.
Francis
He's like Ant Man.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Somewhere in a realm we cannot see.
Harry
Can you do the same question, Tyler, with China? Last China baby adopted. That was probably, like, 10 minutes ago.
Ron
Yeah. Earlier this morning.
Francis
They might still allow It.
Harry
Oh, no, they terminated its program.
Ron
That's recent. And no one's talking about it.
Harry
Wow. No one's talking about this except for us. Yo, nobody's fucking saying this shit.
Francis
I'll be honest. I kind of guessed on the China one, so I'm glad that was right too.
Harry
But the fact that they're. They're being greedy about their birth, about their. The people that are Chinese, like that shows. I think they are afraid of the collapse.
Francis
Well, the question would be, is China still allowing adoptions to, you know, England and China?
Ron
It says it's not impossible. It says exceptions are made for stepchildren or blood relatives within three generations.
Harry
The. That doesn't make sense.
Ron
So you could get one.
Francis
I don't understand how to even read that. Does that mean that if someone like, if your stepbrother was already adopted by an American family and you're born, you can still get adopted by an American family?
Ron
No idea where stepchildren could be playing a part in that. Yeah.
Harry
It doesn't wonder. You never see the Chinese adopting American kids. Kids.
Ron
How do you have a stepchild if you're adopting them?
Harry
I think that you can adopt people with. Within your family. You could adopt.
Ron
Oh, I guess that's true. Yeah.
Harry
Your stepchild or something like that.
Ron
I guess anyone can technically do that,
Harry
claim legal guardianship or parenthood.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Was. Was Portugal great though?
Harry
Dude, it was beautiful and awesome and felt European.
Ron
Rosenthorne.
Harry
I think the. The Thorn was the first flight, but just the rose is just to get him to spend the quality time. I think it builds the synapses in. In the youth. Let them. Let them dick around and just being on the boat, you know what I mean? Got. Got back on a boat. So nice to go on a boat of that.
Ron
Sun must have been hot.
Harry
It was so nice to get the check too. It was so nice to get the bill at the end of it. Just to see how much I owed that. That hotel was so sweet to see that number and all those commas. It was amazing. It was such a blessing to be.
Ron
Was it like all was inclusive. Like, was like the boat through the
Harry
hotel and I booked it through the hotel. It wasn't all inclusive though. That was an add on. Yeah, that was a big add on. I gulped when I saw it. We leave it like 4:30 in the morning. That woke me up real. I felt like I just. My ears had just popped. Like my kids.
Ron
What the.
Harry
Is that number?
Francis
You guys go ahead. I have to work here for the next six years.
Harry
Dishes in the back. You got to roll up your sleeves.
Francis
I now work for hotel.
Harry
Yeah, it was insane, but, but so worthwhile. I, I, yeah.
Francis
Damn, Rome, that's awesome. But I, I do remember the days when I used to spend like that and yeah, you'll be all right. I'll tell you what, man, like, as fun as it is like those, those highs are fleeting. And it's gonna catch up to you as someone now who you know is a saver. Harry and I are both savers.
Harry
Yeah,
Francis
we're planning for the future.
Harry
Well, maybe next time the three of us all go together and we can split the hotel room three ways, like Harry does with his friends.
Francis
So the, like, you guys can take the beds and I'll sleep on the boat.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah, it's not a bad idea.
Harry
Sleep on the boat.
Francis
Sleep on the boat.

Sit on them Day one, they replace them.
Francis
Sure do.

Harry
Rays. I was scared jumping in the water about the Portuguese man of War. Oh, I didn't realize that the Portuguese man of war is out there.
Francis
Do you know what that is, Harry?
Ron
Is it. Wait, don't tell me.
Harry
You know what this is?
Ron
Is it a stingray?
Francis
No. What is it? It is a jellyfish.
Ron
Ah. I knew it stung.
Harry
It's the nastiest one.
Francis
Yeah, that's the one that Giant tentacles didn't like bad.
Ron
Those are the big, big boys.
Francis
Boys.
Harry
Yeah. But they said they're not there.
Ron
The Finding Nemo one, right?
Harry
Yeah. Wait, are those Portuguese man of wars in.
Ron
In Finding Nemo, the ones that they're
Harry
like bouncing off of?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah. So I think what is it? Dory like, gets. Gets beat up bad, but she lives.
Francis
They run the. They run the gauntlet drill.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
With the football. So keep your pads down. Go forward through the tentacles.
Harry
Yeah, you got to get low to go through the tentacles. Yeah, but that's really. Because doesn't she. Isn't she fine?
Francis
She is, but those weren't Portuguese.
Ron
What the fuck is this answer?
Francis
Man of War. That's a jellyfish forest.
Ron
It says in Disney's. In Disney, Pixar's fine. Nemo, Marlin and Dory do not actually battle Portuguese man of Wars. They navigate the iconic jellyfish forest. It's like, you know, we didn't think they actually were battling real life man of Wars.
Francis
Right.
Ron
I think that's pretty self explanatory.
Harry
You saw that Google is now just AI.
Ron
It's all AI.
Harry
Google is exclusively AI.
Francis
I like it.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
It's wrong though.
Francis
You like to think that it's wrong. I thought. I thought it. I thought they battled Men of War. I thought that they battled them in the movie. This answer was for me.
Harry
They actually go through the iconic jellyfish forest. J. Will's buddy was in here and he was like. And he didn't even realize why it was so funny. Funny that he was. He was like, dude, I Went on AI he's this guy from South Jersey, and he's like. I went on AI and I was like, if your life depended on it and you had to take an 18 foot jump shot, who would you put out there? And I asked AI if it's life depended on it. You're asking something that doesn't have, like this. The intrinsic value of that question is for living creatures only. If you're asking AI that. That question, that doesn't fly.
Ron
I haven't. I haven't been on AI at all lately. I feel like I was on it a lot, but I guess that was when I was building my computer. But since then I've pretty much used it for nothing. Oh, I did ask it if I had something on my head. Forgot about that. I had like a mole on my head. And I was like, is this gonna kill me? And it said, go to the dermatologist.
Francis
And I went, what'd they tell you?
Ron
Nothing. Yeah, I was like, it's nothing.
Harry
As if you had something on your head.
Ron
I took a photo of it and sent it. And I was like, what is this? They gave me a bunch of wrong answers, told me a bunch of things that it's not.
Harry
I mean, I'm sure that they're also, like, designed to do that. They probably would, like, get a lawsuit. If you're asking your AI like, hey, like, am I gonna die from this? Don't even ask me. Just go to a doctor.
Ron
I do get that. Like, it. It's definitely for the best. Like, it shouldn't be g out like medical advice, especially telling people that they're fine. Yeah, yeah, but at the same time, like, like, dermatologist is a job that could very easily be replaced by AI and it would probably be like, better off for humanity. You don't think so?
Francis
I'm not going to say.
Ron
You can stand everything that you're worried about and it would tell you if you've got something or not.
Francis
That's not just what dermatologists do.
Ron
Well, I know they do, like, biopsies and whatever, but like, for me, they just looked. They did the same thing that Claude did.
Francis
That one would be well served. Yeah, but you just admitted that they said they didn't know.
Ron
No, no, they said it's not anything bad.
Francis
AI didn't know.
Ron
Yes, AI did not know, but that, but is that because dermatologists. Yeah, but is that because they're not
Harry
allowed to say, oh, I don't know, because it knew. But it was like, I actually can't
Ron
tell you like, it tells you, like, ideas of what it could be, but it's not going to give you an actual. Like this is this because it can't
Harry
be positive what they say it was this plastic compound. Nevi.
Ron
No, it's just a mole.
Harry
Got it. Yeah, but what did the AI say it was like. What scared you about what AI said?
Ron
Oh, AI was thrown around. It never mole never even came up. Warts, a bunch of different cancer. Yeah, of course, of course. That's why I went and got it checked out. I haven't had to do that in a while.
Francis
Did you do a full body scan or did they just look at the head?
Ron
I went in for the scan and I left with just the head once. I was already in there and he was like, is that it? And I was like, yes.
Francis
You made it all the way in and you didn't want to do the. The peace of mind kind of body scan?
Ron
I. I only really had that thing on my head that I needed the peace of mind from. Got a couple other things that I'm like, maybe I should check them out, but not like, this was my shirt off. Yeah.
Harry
Not getting a gown.
Ron
Exactly.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
The head ed was like, I gotta get this checked out. Now.
Francis
I wonder if they would have allowed you to just do a top, top up body scan.
Ron
Yeah, I mean, it seems like it's very. You just get to like, they just ask, what do you want us to look at?
Francis
Well, then you would have gotten 50. Peace of mind.
Ron
I got full peace of mind.
Harry
Most, Most doctor's offices, people. People book the appointment just so they can get naked. Just have an excuse to have someone look at them naked.
Ron
An excuse to derogate the.
Harry
There was like a massage place at this hotel in Portugal and there was like a famous masseuse that like, I don't know what this guy's doing.
Ron
Did he.
Harry
Did you.
Ron
Did you go to him?
Harry
I sent my wife to him. I was like, see what this guy's all about? Because I saw him take a client back and he, he like grabbed the client like by her back to like greet her. He was like, oh, hello, how's it going? And like kind of like embraced her as he walked down the hallway and he does his head, neck and shoulder. And she said his. His breath was terrible, but he was doing. But he was a good kisser. He was doing like sound bath shit. And like, just like. But she said, I mean, I don't know. She said it worked. I just said, he just was like the cockiest bastard. She said, that when he. He. She got there, he was, like, standing on the roof of the massage building, like, waiting for her, like, pacing back
Ron
and forth, like, posing.
Harry
It was like pacing back and forth, like, impatiently on the roof of the building.
Ron
That's crazy.
Harry
Waiting for her to get in.
Ron
And I'm not a massage. I don't. I've never got one, so I can't say, but I don't think I'm a massage guy.
Francis
I'm not a massage guy either.
Ron
I don't think that would relax me. I think it would just make me uncomfortable.
Francis
Yeah, more.
Ron
Way more than the relaxation.
Harry
I think that you just need a really jacked Swedish guy.
Ron
Then he's gonna be looking at me and being like, you're not jacked at all.
Harry
Yeah, but that's not. That's not what you're paying him for.
Francis
I don't think they. I don't think they judge that hard because they see all kinds of bodies.
Harry
Yeah, it's like the guys on the soccer team. It's like the dermatologist, honestly.
Francis
Yeah. We. I need you to work with people like that because when I go in, because of my body, I'm doing him a favor and a. I don't tip. You subsidize me.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
By having such a worse body. You have to.
Ron
Over when you go in. They, like, thank you.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Thank you for keeping.
Francis
They take their clothes off.
Harry
Francis has a massage parlor where people come in and massage him. They pay a premium to massage him.
Francis
Yes, that's right.
Ron
Get naked, dummy.
Francis
I only allow three a day, though.
Ron
Oh, it's not bad.
Harry
It's like a. Yeah. Like a small fam. Kitchen.
Francis
I'm like, I've run out of lotion.
Harry
It's like a tasting menu.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
People love to come in and get some. Some of Francis's box.
Francis
But, bro, it was so hot this week.
Ron
Yeah, it was really.
Francis
It was so hot where I was upstate that I lost seven pounds.
Ron
Damn.
Harry
What?
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
What?
Francis
Like, I weighed myself this morning versus the start of the week, and it was just, you know, I just. I was playing golf and tennis and fucking Padel.
Ron
At, like, playing golf in that weather
Francis
from, like, 11am through till 7 or 7pm and. And even at 7pm it would still be 94 degrees.
Ron
Would you say that was hotter than it was when we. When we did the Ryder Cup?
Francis
Probably about the same.
Ron
That second day of the Ryder cup was something else.
Francis
Right.
Ron
Did you take a car? Harder walk.
Francis
Well, I was taking a cart for golf, but, I mean, I was playing, like, Racket sports through the hottest part of the day. And then going to play golf, it didn't. It was. It didn't even matter. It was too hot. It was miserable. I had a headache.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
I went fishing. It was like the fish were not even. They weren't with it. I, like, wasn't even trying to catch them. It was like, I'm gonna. They're gonna die if I catch them.
Francis
Yeah. Where were you fishing? In a river?
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
You fly fishing?
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. Where?
Ron
Upstate.
Francis
Oh, that's right. You were in the Berkshires.
Ron
No, Catskills.
Francis
Catskills, yeah.
Ron
But I was fishing, and I saw, like, four rainbow trout stacked on top of each other under a rock. And I was like, they're all dying.
Francis
Oh.
Ron
Because if the water gets. If the water gets over 68 degrees, trout start dying.
Francis
That's how I feel about going to bed at night.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah, my room.
Ron
Did you guys set your ACs to 78?
Harry
Of course.
Ron
Dave sent out that email saying we had to send him to 68.
Harry
I thought he said 58. He said, we're going to crank the. Dave was in the office. Like, Mr. Freeze. Yeah.
Ron
He said he wanted frost on the windows.
Harry
He said, open the windows and turn the air conditioning down as low as possible. We're going to get this city cool one. One unit at a time.
Ron
I saw a clip of Tim Dillon saying that he was. He's wearing a hoodie and drinking hot cocoa in his apartment.
Harry
You have to.
Francis
Oh, man. Oh, man.
Harry
That's a crazy thing to ask.
Ron
My shit was at 85 because I wasn't there.
Francis
That's your eco mode, dude.
Ron
It defaults to 85, and then you have to go manually turn it down on the. The AC to, like, whatever you want, and then it'll. You only get an hour with it, and then it goes back to 85.
Francis
There must be a setting that's busted.
Harry
There's got to be a law against that.
Francis
Can't be right now.
Ron
I don't think there's.
Francis
You haven't looked carefully enough. That can't be right. I promise you, you have resigned yourself to, like, thinking that's the way this is.
Ron
It was 100 degrees outside. I was looking for every alt. Every mode that I could find on the thing.
Harry
What'd you do to beat the heat?
Ron
It's ac.
Harry
That was it?
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Fuck.
Ron
What did you do? Was it. Was it. Was it that hot in Portugal or.
Harry
It wasn't that hot. Yeah.
Francis
Oh, I have a funny story.
Harry
Talk to us, brother.
Francis
So on the fourth Of July itself.
Ron
Classic.
Francis
It was so hot. And I was a little tired of being, you know, in the sort of curated world of the club, of course. So I said, you know what? I want to go mix it up with real Americans, with real, real lokes. What? And I drove about 20 minutes to a swimming hole. You guys ever heard of a swimming hole? Yeah. Yeah.
Harry
You went to a local holler. You went to a hole.
Ron
Is that like. What do they call it? The one with the cliffs?
Harry
A swimming hole, probably.
Ron
Oh, a swimming hole. Yeah. Like a quarry?
Francis
No, not quite a quarry.
Ron
I love a quarry.
Francis
Me, too.
Ron
Who doesn't love a good quarry?
Harry
Dangerous, though. Quarries are very, very dangerous. People drowning people down and drowning quarries all the time, brother, be careful. You just want to go to a quarry. I mean, shoot yourself. Swimming holes are, like, universal. They have Puerto Ricans.
Francis
Well, so, yeah, there was a rope swing that I knew about at the. At the swimming hole. Yeah, right. And it was all the way across. And by the way, instantly I went there, and it was a lot of people. People, but they were all sunning themselves. But they all had, you know, horrible tattoos. Yeah, that's how you knew it was a local swimming hole. Yeah, a couple anchors just like, doughy, shitty people with bad tattoos.
Harry
Like a Bible verse written on a scroll or something like that around their belly buttons. Roses around their belly.
Ron
I don't like when people get, like, involved with, like. Like the. The part of the body. It's not like, no, what are you doing?
Francis
Stop.
Harry
Yeah, how about people that just put lines on their body that are just like. You just wanted to do something and you couldn't even think of an idea.
Ron
People have the sleeves that.
Francis
It's.
Ron
It's just the sleeve. There's nothing. There's no design or anything.
Harry
Yeah, that's blackface, dude. That's very close to blackface.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. Black arm.
Harry
Black arm.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
What did you want to look like you were about to fucking play outfield
Harry
for the rest of your life?
Ron
Yeah, the fucking Shooting Sleep sleeve on.
Francis
What about. What about people that, like, mark themselves, you know, like, cut themselves and stuff? Like, I did that on my leg this weekend, and it was not as cool as I thought it would be.
Harry
The brand. Yeah, Like a black fraternity.
Francis
Scars. Yeah, we are. We all. We got. We all we got.
Harry
If not us, then who the. So you went to the hole and everybody's got roses tattooed in a circle around their belly button.
Francis
Yeah. And I. And I went into the water and I had to swim out a long way across the pond to the rope swing that I was so excited to try. And as I approached the rope swing, I'm swimming up to it and it's very deep until you actually get to the bank, so there's nowhere to stand. And I'm swimming over and I noticed that there's like six of the most Mexican looking dudes I've ever seen in my life. They're up behind the rope swing with a grill that they had rolled in. And I mean, these guys are. I'm not making this up. It's the 4th of July. It's 96 degrees. They're wearing blue jeans, work boots, long sleeve shirts that are tucked in. Yeah, they're all like five foot one.
Harry
Yeah, they're from Pueblo.
Francis
Yeah. I mean, solid crew. They were.
Harry
That sounds like an amazing crew.
Francis
They were.
Harry
They're probably the funniest guys you've ever met.
Francis
There were six guys and I was like, hello, Hola. And like one of them was like, hola. Which is a universal sign for like, not one of us speaks a single word of English.
Harry
Amazing.
Francis
And my Spanish is really, really weak.
Harry
But you had to use some on that.
Francis
Well, I tried, but I was like, trying. I was like, do you know rope swing safe? And they're like, no ablo, no abroad angles. And I was like. Then one of them came over to me and goes. And he handed me a beer.
Ron
Oh, hell yeah.
Harry
So sick.
Francis
And I drank a beer on the 4th of July with guys who turned out to be from Guatemala. Ah, that's where they were from. Very nice now, Guatemala. I don't know if you guys know. They're not doing. Doing so hot.
Ron
Well, they're in. Good thing they're in upstate New York.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Glad that they had escaped.
Harry
Guatemala is the. Basically like, it's like the tip of Mexico. It's like the northernmost Central American country. Right.
Francis
I don't know other than I know that Guatemala is not. Does not have a lot of money,
Harry
but they got cervezas.
Francis
Well, these guys do plenty of cerveza. Mucho cerveza grande cerveza. And we were drinking Coronas and it was. It was. Was awesome. And I drank this with them and I tried to communicate with these guys. I was like. I was like. I was like, you have eight. Well, I only had the one. Then they finished it and then they brought me another. I was like, no, no, no. And then they were like, carne. Carne. You want meat?
Harry
Did you try some carne?
Francis
I was just flipping this meat like it Was a pancake.
Ron
Did you get any of it?
Francis
No, I had eaten 30 minutes prior. I also had to swim back across the pond.
Ron
What's the best carne you ever had?
Francis
You're not wrong.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. But.
Harry
Oh, wow.
Francis
What?
Harry
That you're invited to the fajita cookout.
Ron
I had a Especially, you know if you had the karna and then you had to swim.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Puke everywhere, Right?
Francis
Yeah. So I. I had a beer with these Guatemalan guys and then I hit the rope swing a couple times just by myself.
Harry
That's so amazing.
Francis
And it was pretty fun.
Harry
How'd you hear about the rope swing? Yelp.
Francis
I had hiked around this pond before in the fall and I saw the rope swing then.
Harry
Being initiated into the Mexican group is such a dream. And how nice is it that these Mexican Guatemalans, none of them like, they don't try to be anything they're not. They just drink Corona. It's like, they're not like, oh, yeah, we drink Corona Modelo. It's like, we don't. They're not trying to be like hipsters about it. Actually, we like this. It's like, no, we like Corona.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
That's amazing.
Francis
I thought that was cool.
Harry
If all. Just Americans. If all. Everyone's just like, yeah, we just like Budweiser. We really drink Budweiser and Miller Lay.
Francis
I said at the end, I was like, feliz Navidad, Cuatro de July. And they were like, what? Which made me think they didn't know that it was the fourth of July.
Harry
We celebrate like this every day. I was like, it's always a party to us.
Francis
Yeah. I don't know how much of a clue they had of what was kind of. Of going on, but they were great. They were really kind to me. And it was weirdly a very American thing to have a beer with a
Ron
bunch of Guatemala beers for Mexicans.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah. And hit a rope swing and then swim back.
Ron
That's pretty sick.
Harry
They probably saw you like waiting across the water and like whistled like, I just coming. Yeah. I got to the grill, everybody ran away. They left some meat. That sounds just.
Ron
For me, it sounds like a great fourth.
Harry
That sounds like such a fucking. I mean, just being initiated into the group shows. Yeah. It's just that that's an all time dude experience.
Francis
It was cool. It. I was embarrassed at not knowing more Spanish. I was embarrassed by that. You got to know a little bit of Spanish. Everybody here should. Should know some Spanish at this point. Right.
Ron
But I mean, these guys don't know much other way. Yeah, I think they're probably going to stop even teaching that.
Francis
Dude, come on. All right.
Ron
I mean, dude, everyone learns English. They all learn.
Francis
I get that. I get that. But like, every other. You know, so many countries are bilingual. They have, like, a dialect and then a language or whatever majority.
Ron
I feel like.
Francis
Like, it wouldn't be that hard for me to have, like, a fifth grade level of Spanish.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
And I don't have that.
Harry
But I think that that's, like telling that being, like, they will. Like, it wouldn't be that hard for them to learn some English. Like, they don't know English. You don't know Spanish. You know French.
Francis
It's like, these guys learn English. I don't.
Ron
I feel like this is a hard country, brother.
Francis
I swam up to them. They had the beer.
Ron
True.
Francis
They had the carnet, they had the
Ron
sarvasa, they had the sa. The Sarah.
Harry
They were sucking the sasa. But I also think that there's some power in the people from other countries who are super famous. I was thinking about this last night when I was watching Portugal play when Cristiano Ronaldo was playing his last game. Remember, he used to, like, bang Kim Kardashian.
Ron
Oh, yeah.
Harry
And they didn't have a single word that they could speak to each other because he doesn't have any English and she doesn't have any Portuguese. And so they were just like, do
Ron
you believe that he doesn't have any English?
Francis
He's got some English.
Ron
I bet he's fluent.
Francis
He's done interviews in English. I've seen.
Harry
Yes.
Francis
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ron
I bet he is.
Francis
He played for Manchester United for, like, four years.
Harry
I think that he just does his thing.
Ron
He's just that good.
Harry
I think he just chills out and just, like, doesn't really have to communicate.
Ron
Like, I don't buy a single professional athlete who's been in professional sports for as long as these guys have that claim. They don't know English.
Francis
I think he. I think Cristiano's got more English than you'd think.
Harry
Messi don't have a word of it.
Francis
I don't think he has.
Ron
My Ohtani is reading Harry Potter books every night before bed. Like, he's fully. He knows.
Harry
Oh, he doesn't have a fucking word of it, bro.
Ron
You. I don't think you can be around people that only speak. Speak English that much.
Harry
And explain the watering hole where Francis was swimming.
Ron
He was only there for five minutes and they communicated beer and meat.
Francis
I was exactly.
Harry
That's What?
Ron
I'm so. That's my point exactly.
Francis
I had like, half an hour.
Ron
Half an hour.
Harry
He knew cerveza and carne already. He already had learned their language.
Ron
Well, they. They were able to figure it out. I. Dude, there's no way that Shohei Otani. If someone. If one of his play, if one of his teammates was like, hey, you want to go warm up in the field? He's not going be to sitting there like, okay, But, like, he's not going to be letting out one of those. Like, he clearly would understand, like, oh, yeah, let's go warm up. It is like. It's like NPC sounds, but I don't think that, like, I think that those guys know English for sure.
Harry
I think there's some people that just don't know English.
Francis
Did Cristiano and. And Kim Kardashian really date Tyler?
Harry
Maybe if you could look this up. But I think that they would, like, fly to each other. And I don't even think that their private jets would leave the, like, Teterboro. Like, I think that they would just put, like, their. Their private jets next to each other and they would bang on the jetways. That came out from.
Francis
Whoa.
Ron
I could see the. I mean, 2010, he might have not known English 16 years ago.
Francis
No, because that was after his Manchester United spell. Or like, right around it. He was. He was there during that time.
Ron
Maybe they were meeting up because she was teaching him English.
Francis
He doesn't.
Ron
People like Ron head in the gutter, run with it and make it this sick, perverted story.
Harry
There's no way that they were dirty talking in English. I don't care what Google AI says. This guy doesn't speak. He can't count to 10 in English. He can't order, or he can't ask where the library or the bathroom is.
Ron
Dude, you open up your folder.
Francis
Can we open these?
Harry
Yeah, open the. Open your folders. Guys, he's probably gonna be. You've been served.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Do you have any idea what it is?
Harry
Of course. Open the. That packet that came out.
Francis
Whoa.
Ron
So Ron did open his.
Harry
Rip that open.
Ron
Or are these from Ron?
Francis
Whoa. Whoa. Oh.
Ron
Are these tickets?
Harry
Rip that thing open,
Francis
bro. No way.
Ron
Wait, I can't read this.
Francis
No way.
Ron
I'm confused.
Francis
Oh, wow.
Ron
I'm nervous.
Francis
Wait a minute. What the heck? So what.
Harry
What playing cards did you get? Which. Who are some of the famous soccer players that you got in your pack?
Francis
Fidel Escobar. I got who place for Panama. Nahita Nandez from. I don't Know where that is? I don't know where that is. I've got Gregor Cobell, Borussia Dorman's, Germany, I think.
Harry
And then.
Francis
Oh, I got a lot.
Ron
Why am I in here?
Francis
Yeah, I got one of me, too.
Harry
Little magic trick for you boys.
Ron
That's crazy.
Harry
Oh, guys. Official Panini playing cards for the World Cup. For the World Cup. Collectible.
Francis
That's awesome, dude.
Harry
Yeah, bro, that's hilarious.
Ron
Looking through the cards and seeing yourself.
Harry
Oh, dude, I got a me.
Francis
You gotta. You gotta collect all of them is the idea.
Harry
You gotta collect. So everybody has to collect all the little sasses, all the Leona, Leono, Messi's, all the Hollands, all the.
Ron
How am I though?
Harry
Vinnie Junior, you're watching. You're one of the collectibles this year. And you're actually. This is the other part. You're suiting up for Belgium in the next round. What? Yes, bro. You're starting. You're starting for Belgium, bro. I wanted to be the first to tell you and Francis, you're starting for England.
Ron
This is sick.
Francis
Wow.
Ron
So, what, do they got this at like a. Like, how did you get these?
Harry
You're playing in the World cup this year, bro. You think that this is a fucking joke? Joke? It's not. I'm dead serious.
Francis
There's at least one special player in every pack. Wow. Pretty cool. That's awesome. Thank you, Ron.
Ron
Thank you.
Francis
Did you do this? Or was this.
Harry
No, I didn't, but I'll. I'll accept you guys saying thank you.
Francis
Who did this come from?
Harry
Panini.
Ron
Panini.
Harry
Panini put you guys in it. The car company. The famous car company, put you guys in the game. It's like when Trent was in pan. PGA. PGA. 2024.
Francis
Oh, that's right.
Harry

Ron

Harry
Look, read the letter.
Ron
Like, are other people gonna be pulling me?
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
No.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
No shot.
Harry
Yes. You're in the World cup now, bro.
Francis
What luck that you got you in your own pack.
Ron
Well, you got yourself as well.
Francis
Unbelievable odds.
Harry
Yeah. Wow. That is lucky.
Francis
So rare.
Ron
Something's not adding up here. I don't play soccer.
Harry
Think really hard about what you've been doing for the last 20 days.
Francis
I haven't worn that outfit in years. Where did they get this picture of me?
Harry
If you're just living an Edward Norton from Fight Club life as, like, a famous soccer player and you just forget.
Ron
I just had no idea.
Harry
Oh, I did do that.
Ron
That's what I was forgetting to do play for Colombia, for my country.
Francis
Guys, you got to cancel the Wyoming trip.
Harry
I forgot. I got to play for my country. Did you see that Argentina came back from two nothing against Egypt.
Francis
Oh, they did.
Ron
We were on this during that.
Harry
Yeah, it just happened. Damn.
Ron
So are they tied or.
Harry
No, they won.
Ron
Oh, they got three.
Harry
They got three. That's who's just calling Francis.
Ron
You think that was just a tease then?
Harry
It was Argentina.
Francis
Just Argentina.
Ron
Argentina.
Harry
It was Argentina telling Francis he needs to get in the game.
Ron
Yeah, like get over to MetLife.
Harry
We need Egypt Rain.
Francis
Damn. I would have liked Egypt to have upset them.
Harry
Mo Salah had a great run that they disallowed because of Var.
Ron
Outside of Belgium, of course. Who are you guys rooting for?
Francis
England.
Harry
Who was your guys picks before I. I had Spain and Mexico. You had.
Ron
I think I had Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Harry
Yeah, he did.
Francis
Yeah, he did.
Ron
Are they both out?
Francis
Yes.
Harry
Didn't Iran. They. They got really close. What. What happened in their game? Was there an. Oh, there was a goal on an offside that got disallowed because someone like. Yeah, they're like hair was off sides.
Ron
Damn. Yeah, I've only watched. The only World cup games I've watched were all the US ones except for the one against Turkey. I missed that one because I was checking in for a hotel for an hour and a half. And then I watched the. The Brazil, Mexico game was good. And then what was the game before that on Saturday?

Ron
Yeah, yeah. Both those games were good.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron

Whole crew, deep squad.

Harry
What was the seating arrangement?
Ron
I was definitely at the poor table.
Harry
You're at the kids table.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Harry
They put you at the kids table. That's so good.
Francis
Where was this?
Ron
Shades of green.
Francis
Is that a bar?
Ron
It's by the stand.
Francis
Huh? It was. I know that one. That's the long one.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never seen. Never seen it like. It was like fully packed. Cool for the game. So. It was pretty cool.
Harry
Some pints? Not for me. What'd you get, a vape?
Ron
No, I had a Guinness. Zeros.
Harry
How many to three? Actually that's Indulgent.
Ron
Yeah, they were good. We were all hammering them.
Harry
That's very indulgent.
Ron
Except for those that were drinking real Guinnesses, of course.
Francis
But it was fun.
Harry
Guinness in the heat is insane.
Ron
It wasn't that hard out yesterday.
Harry
I guess not. Yesterday it was kind of raining.
Francis
Do you know how many Guinness zeros go into a full. A full gallon.
Harry
Mind your P's and Q's on this one.
Ron
I'm going to go 16.
Francis
Now you actually can't divide by zero.
Harry
Wow.
Ron
Wouldn't it be one?
Francis
We're going to want to cut that.
Ron
No, no, no. We're going to leave that in for sure.
Francis
I don't want that.
Ron
That's definitely staying in.
Francis
In the.
Ron
But wait. Isn't it? If you divide by zero, isn't it one?
Francis
I think anything divided by zero is an irrational number.
Ron
Did someone make a blunder?
Francis
I thought anything divided by zero is
Ron
my right or wrong.
Francis
I think something's raised to the zero power.
Ron
Is one that might be right.
Francis
Anything divided by zero is I irrational number. You can't do it, huh?
Ron
It's starting to feel like it's. See you guys next week.

Sam.
Hosts: Lil Sasquatch (Ron), Rone (Harry), and Francis
In this episode, the Son of a Boy Dad crew reunites in the Barstool HQ studio for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and occasionally heartfelt conversation about summer trips, travel horror stories (especially with kids), masculinity, sports culture, European vacations, international adoption laws, and more. 'Rone' regales the guys with tales from his challenging family trip to Portugal, which leads to themes of adulthood, manhood, and worldview-building. Sprinkled throughout are comic riffs on topics like locker room nudity, concerts, soccer heartbreak, massage parlors, and even being immortalized as soccer trading cards. There's a signature mix of Barstool banter, personal stories, and moments of genuine reflection.

True to the Son of a Boy Dad spirit, the episode weaves rapid-fire irreverent comedy, sarcastic self-awareness, and relatable vulnerability. The banter frequently tips into absurdity, reflects the hosts' comedic instincts, and invites the audience to both cringe and connect—as when Harry paints family travel as a torture chamber, or Francis’s authentic attempts at cross-cultural connection are both celebrated and gently mocked.
This episode is a great introduction to the podcast’s free-flowing, topic-hopping style and the comedic chemistry of its hosts. Through stories about travel, friendship, locker rooms, international adoption quirks, and gifts both physical and metaphysical, the guys build a worldview that’s as skeptical and self-deprecating as it is thoughtful and fun.
