Harry
This is all brought to you by Hook Hook. Our good friends over at Hook. As you can see, head to toe, Hook Hook, down to the toes.
Francis
Hook has really made this week better than every other week I've had.
Ron
The sun's beating down on us. I do not even feel warmth because this hook is just redirecting the sunlight like Aikido. And it's breathable too.
Harry
And it's very breathable. It's very good for protection in the sun. That's what we were at. We were out fishing all day and we were all rocking our hook. You know, you can throw the hood up if you want on the performance hoodie. I mean, it's just all class over at Hook. And guess what?

Ron
I'm just glad Sass finally got one.
Francis
Well, it was touch and go there for a while.
Ron
After all of that. I'm just glad you finally got one on the board because Jesus Christ, if you hadn't, it would have ruined this trip.
Harry
What? What has come out at this time?
Francis
Everything.
Harry
Both fish episodes.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Okay. So we can freely. So I can freely speak? Yeah, I can speak my mind. Yeah. I mean, look, I wasn't worried about not catching one. I feel like you boys, you're too. You're too quick, you're moving too fast. Fishing, it's all about patience and relaxing, and it takes you into a meditative state and. Was I a little bit flustered? Of course. Of course I was a little bit flustered. It definitely doesn't help when I'm fucking mid cast. Like, we've been out there for, like, 15 minutes and I hear you guys fucking in my ear. The Smokestack Twins.
Ron
Nobody was fucking in your ear.
Harry
Smoking stack in my ear.
Ron
No, nobody was doing any of that. We were gassing you up, if anything.
Harry
No, you guys were, like, whispering like Harry's like, we're like. Like, I don't know if he's gonna catch a fish.
Francis
We got to that.
Harry
I was never worried. I never. I was never sweating it.
Francis
I sensed from your sort of growing, your fuse got shorter and shorter.
Harry
My fuse was never short. I was just trying to enjoy the moment, be in the present.
Ron
He was hot. There was the amount of times. What was your signature line when you didn't have something? Really?
Harry
I would say. Really?
Ron
Really?
Harry
Yeah. I mean, because I thought I would get hit and then I would set the hook and I wouldn't. There wouldn't be a fish on the other end.
Ron
Yeah. I'm happy you got one. I probably had the biggest fish of my life. Was just telling my boys about it in front of you guys. I know, I know. I was just on FaceTime and. Yeah, I guess that was the first time you were around. Or I guess yesterday you were around when I was FaceTiming them. But my wife was like, sass probably thinks it's gay to say hi to your kids. So I got embarrassed and hung up.
Harry
That's crazy. I was howling, laughing when you were talking to the kids.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
You were at me.
Harry
No, I thought it was great. I was like, they look exactly like you.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Like they have your Exact face.
Ron
Yeah. They're my seed.
Harry
It's funny, I didn't know that they were, like, so, like, developed and smart.
Ron
It's like the Baby Trump videos, honestly.
Harry
It honestly is. Yeah.
Ron
Just like the Baby Trump Baby Biden videos.
Harry
Like, when you were waving at the camera like they were waving back, like they recognized you through the phone.
Ron
Yeah. They're dialed the fuck in.
Harry
Yeah. I didn't know they would be capable of that. I thought it was just like you were. They were just hearing your voice.
Ron
Now they're along for the ride.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
It was cool to see it's happening fast.
Francis
So.
Ron
So you don't think it's gay to have kids?
Harry
No, not at all. I think it's a miracle that we should be celebrating, if anything.
Ron
Now you're fucking talking.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah. Let's give our fish count for the week. Let's all give our fish counts.
Francis
I think we should do our fish count and we should all say our favorite fish, Rose and Thorn. That we caught.
Harry
We'll do Rose and Thorn.
Ron
Let's do our peach in our pit.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah.
Francis
Okay.
Harry
You cool with that?
Francis
I don't know what kind of poetry shit you guys are talking about.
Harry
Peach and Pitt. Rose and Thorn. Peaks and valleys, brother.
Ron
It's like when girls go out to dinner after a long weekend and they have to say something.
Harry
What are your favorite.
Francis
What is your favorite thing that you
Harry
did in your least favorite thing? Yes, exactly.
Francis
It's a less fucking weird way to
Ron
say peach and pit.
Francis
Yes, tell me what, your peel, your stone.
Ron
Yeah. Your plum and your grape.
Francis
Your flower or your scythe?
Ron
Yeah, you're right. You're. You're. Yeah. What were they?
Francis
Well, for me. Okay, so final fish count for me was. How many did I catch today? I don't know. I think three today.
Harry
Three. So four.
Francis
So I got four, including my Megalodon yesterday.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah. That was a beast.
Ron
Sash, what was your count?
Harry
I guess. How many did I get today? Two or three.
Francis
I think you got three today.
Harry
I got one of the jack and then I got the trout.
Francis
Trout.
Harry
And then I got another weird thing. Or no. Was that the jack?
Ron
That was.
Harry
Yeah, I think I only got two today.
Francis
Oh, you only got two?
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Okay, so that gets you to three total.
Harry
No, there's no way, because I caught two back to back. Yeah.
Ron
And that was it. That was all she wrote. You had one minute of good fishing, and we were out for maybe 10 hours.
Harry
I mean, I was hot in that one minute, though. It was every cat. Matt can. Matt can, like it was everything.
Francis
I remember it was amazing. It was before the thing even hit the water.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
They'd be jumping at it.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Sometimes you get that.
Harry
I guess my count was three. I mean, look, it's not. I wouldn't say it's tippable by any means.
Ron
Not to be at all.
Harry
I would say. But it's not bad. You know, we did what we had to do. We caught the fish we wanted to catch. Except for a tarpon, but that was a team effort.
Francis
It was. Ron, you had three.
Ron
I had three. I had three legits and one we threw back for being a big bass.
Harry
I mean Rowan might have been the mvp.
Francis
I think Rome was the MVP today for sure. Yeah.
Ron
And yesterday Francis was the. The MVP with the tarpon. I would have just loved to be unable to go head to head with the tarpon with my. With the 33. The 33 incher. But I. I reele and let out my rope while I was doing it.
Francis
He's like, wow, it's really getting into the mangroves. It's like. Yeah, he's giving it more leash.
Harry
I did. I missed that whole.
Ron
Dude, doesn't it feel like reeling in a fish should go the other way?
Harry
They make like other handed rods and
Ron
I. I thought I was going the other way.
Harry
There also are some rods that do reel that way, I believe.
Ron
And so that. So am I. Is it? That's pretty dumb and embarrassing. I mean I. I unscrewed the handle of the rod. Y.
Harry
That's crazy.
Ron
And then dropped to fish.
Francis
And it got all the way to the boat.
Ron
Yeah. And then. And I just went too fast.
Francis
She was gone.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
But then I dropped it. I dropped the other fish. It's just. I'm just not very sporting when it comes to handling the fish.
Harry
Yeah. You dropped that trout big time. That thing definitely died.
Ron
You think?
Harry
100%. 100%.
Ron
No. It's probably just loopy a little bit now.
Harry
Trout die like if you like flick them in the face.
Ron
They said that. That that trout had 1 million eggs. It was going to have 1 million. That it would single handedly repop.
Harry
Not anymore. You think it genocide?
Ron
You think it lost the baby? If.
Harry
I don't know. I actually have no. I don't know what the sea trout like, what the difference is. If that was like a freshwater trout. Dead. 100%.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Because they have such soft mouths.
Harry
Yeah, soft everything.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
How the guy.
Ron
How about the guy saying that they had soft mouths?
Harry
I know they do.
Ron
That's gay. That's gay. What he Said that's gay.
Francis
What was your favorite fish that you caught, Harry?
Harry
Definitely my trout.
Francis
Yeah, Trout. What about you, Ron?
Ron
I take my trout.
Francis
Big one. The big mama
Ron
Francis today.
Francis
I really. I liked catching the trout. Yeah. I think trout's the much cooler than jackfish, which I caught.
Ron
What about your fucking tarpon?
Francis
Tarpon was cool. Yeah. The tarpon was way better than any of the fish we caught today.
Harry
Would you say that it was.
Francis
It made today seem stupid, but would
Harry
you say that, like, actually, like, did you enjoy having, like, a longer fight?
Francis
Are you kidding? Did you see how much fun that was?
Harry
I don't know. You didn't really look like you were having fun in the moment.
Francis
I was a little scared.
Harry
You were like anybody else.
Francis
I was worried that it was gonna. I was gonna lose it.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
And I thought we needed to get it all the way to the boat.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Did you hear what he said today? He said that he took keep people out this morning. They hooked three tarpon and didn't get a single one.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah. Now that is impressive.
Francis
Fact that we got it all the way in. It seems like a miracle to me.
Harry
Yeah. I mean. I mean, how many fish did we lose even today? Yeah, I probably lost like 4 ton.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Maybe even 10.
Ron
It might even been 10. There was a lot. What.
Harry
So what's all hooks down here?
Ron
Can I say what my peach. My. My peach was. I don't know what my pit was, but I think my peach was Publix. I. I feel like I really enjoy those. Those Publix sandwiches. So did I. I think I was hating on them, just being like, oh, it's just glorified Wawa or something like that. No, it's different.
Francis
That guy took so much pride in making the sandwich. He was 85 years old. Retire.
Ron
That was a little bit disconcerting that there was people with pink hair shaving down the roast beef.
Francis
I mean, the entire everybody behind the deli counter at Publix was 100, the oldest people. And you think, are they doing this because they like it or because they have to? Are they trying to stay sharp and social and purposeful?
Harry
I don't know.
Ron
I think they're all rich. I think they're all rich locals who are just doing it kind of as community service to guys like us who are shopping in Publix. They gotta be rich, right? I mean, don't tell me they're. They're poor and having to work into their 80 to their late 80s.
Harry
I mean, I would assume that's probably what it Is unfortunately.
Ron
Okay, well, that's my pit.
Harry
That's a pit?
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
So your p, your peach and your pit both happened at Publix?
Ron
Yeah. It was as soon the pit was seeing how old those folks were and the realization that they had to grind. But then the peak happened not three minutes later when I sunk teeth into that sub. Francis ate a sub right in front of the guy who made it.
Francis
It did.
Ron
Like, it was sushi.
Francis
And he looked up when I was taking my last bite and he went, huh?
Ron
He might have said, like, good sandwich, huh?
Francis
Like I said, I couldn't wait.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Hungry. Watched you make it. Couldn't wait.
Ron
Did you take a dump in that Publix?
Harry
Oh, yeah, big time.
Ron
You did?
Harry
Yeah, I needed to.
Ron
Why didn't you just do it here?
Harry
I did.
Ron
You doubled?
Harry
Doubled. I, I. And then I, I tried to shit at the, at the kayak place too. It was just like a non stop. I just had. It couldn't come out. I couldn't get it out.
Francis
Oh, you couldn't go?
Harry
Well, I went. But it was like. The first one was like, yeah, that's like. That's a quarter of the tank.
Ron
Yeah. At best, you don't screw the valve.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Damn.
Harry
And then the second one was like, that's half, but there's still probably a quarter.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
I think it's fiber.
Ron
I think that if you had just had some leafy greens, it would have dragged everything through.
Francis
Who knows, man? With har.
Harry
Jolly rancher chews have some fiber in them.
Ron
No chance. That's pure gelatin. That's like putting a toilet plunger into your body and just eating it. That's disgusting.
Harry
That's true.
Ron
Where are we about to go tonight? And are they gonna laugh at us for bringing that amount of meat?
Harry
Yeah, definitely.
Francis
Probably.
Harry
They're gonna be like. Well, you could do like fish tacos, something like that.
Francis
Yeah. Yeah.
Ron
We could make a ceviche.
Francis
We're bringing four filets of trout from two rather small trout, I would say.
Harry
He said, that's how big they are, though.
Francis
Yeah. Yeah. We just. They told. I said, what's the limit? And he said, we can take four per person. So I thought we were all gonna get four trout.
Harry
Yeah, I think he did too.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Because for a second there it was. We were. Things were picking up.
Francis
Yeah. We were hidden. We should never have left that place.
Harry
No, we really shouldn't have.
Francis
The first one, the one where we caught.
Harry
Second one.
Ron
Oh, the second one.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
I love the first one.
Harry
I like the first one too. I Kind of wish we went back to the first one once all of our casting improved.
Francis
I hadn't figured it out yet. I also had no ability to judge whether something was biting the bait.
Harry
Yeah, it's tough to tell. I kind of figured it out at the end. Like I had a easier time when I was keeping tension on the line rather than letting out all that slack.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
Where you. When we go out to dinner, they're gonna just what, grill up? Look at this fucking bunny right here.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Look at this bunny.
Francis
Others.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
I told you there was a fucking hair.
Harry
Yep, that's a beast. Shoot it dead.
Francis
Get it?
Ron
See, that's us.
Harry
Somebody gunned that bunny down immediately.
Ron
Where's Elmer Fudd when you need him? A double barreled shotgun.
Francis
I ate a rabbit a couple weeks ago. It was so delicious. I mean, it was really delicious. Better than chicken. Significantly.
Harry
Ew.
Ron
I almost think of it as like a dark.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
A darker meat.
Francis
No, no, no. Not so dark.
Harry
Lights.
Francis
Very white.
Harry
Really?
Francis
Yes, really.
Ron
It must have been a bigger bunny than that one.
Francis
It was definitely bigger than that one.
Harry
Yeah, that one's pretty small. That would be tough to cook.
Ron
Today made me realize, because we have a video coming out about going through the mangroves. It made me realize how if I really had to fend for myself, how incapable that I would be.
Francis
I was just thinking about this, you know, do you guys think, well, I want to come back to that, but do you think that if Castaway happened to us, to any one of us, you'd survive?
Harry
Like what, like a full on tsunami?
Francis
No, Castaway, the movie, right? Tom Hanks.
Harry
Yeah, I know it. Oh, when he gets. When he crashes on an island, crashes the plane on the island, and at
Francis
best he has a few FedEx packages that wash up from which he can make tools. But besides that, he has to forge for all his own food and he lives for whatever 20 years or some shit because he's saying. Because he figures out how to make get fish and you know, it's like the Martian. Yeah, he only ate potatoes.
Ron
Yeah, I don't think I would be able to. I guess I would try my hardest.
Francis
But do you think that evolution would kick in quickly enough, effectively to teach you your own survival skills?
Ron
I think if you've never hunted a rabbit, I think it just really takes a different type of man to go hunt down a rabbit.
Francis
That's kind of what I mean, right? It's like how many times would I have to be sitting here getting hungry and hungrier and hungrier before I truly came up with A proper way to catch that rabbit and eat it.
Ron
But there's probably tons of people over the course of history that never thought of the solution. And they just, even as hungry as they were, they couldn't get a good ass rabbit trap.
Francis
I am desperate to kill that rabbit right now.
Ron
It has to be peanut butter filters.
Francis
I'm really looking around. We have a grill right here.
Harry
I know.
Francis
I, I am. I. I mean it's, it's taking one. I think the best bet right now with limited resources is taking one of these bricks and then throwing it really high in the air and having it land directly on top.
Harry
Yeah, but rabbits are so quick. Like it would see even the shadow.
Francis
I don't know. I don't really want to try because I worry I'd succeed.
Ron
Well, it inched away, but I think another way to do it would be you throw some bricks in one direction to make it go the other direction and try to be waiting with a more direct brick.
Harry
So you're talking about. You're talking about. I see what you're talking. Yeah.
Ron
You throw two bricks to the left, pump fake. And then he comes to the right. Like we throw them pretty high, like a game of dodgeball. And then as they're coming down and it starts to go the other direction, you try to smoke it with a smaller brick that you're throwing like a baseball.
Harry
Yeah. You're beaming that one.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
But you got to be accurate as.
Ron
So maybe we need a. Like a firing squad of.
Francis
Do you notice that it. It turns the other way? Right. And I know they can hear well, but I don't know if they can hear the sound of a brick sailing at the head.
Harry
It definitely can, you think?
Francis
100%.
Harry
Not even zero doubt.
Ron
Is that how they get away? They through listening?
Harry
I mean, they are fast as fuck. Like, they're literally a symbol of speed.
Francis
I think you're overestimating this rabbit here.
Harry
Dude, the symbol that people use to increase speed is a rabbit.
Francis
Pretty sure early, like fast Internet companies were like rabbit WI fi.
Harry
Yeah, exactly.
Ron
Task rabbit batteries.
Harry
Rabbit.
Francis
That's a bunny that's like never dies.
Harry
Exactly. So you think your bricks gonna take it out?
Francis
Fair point.
Ron
Energizer bunnies. Got to be from those videos on National Geographic. When there's like a leopard or something chasing a bunny and they just can outlast them, they just run forever. You think that's what it is?
Harry
I mean, I would assume. I think it's because they can just jump. Like they're like. Think about how like you're gonna throw. You're gonna throw it at the bunny. Don't. This will end up on fucking the news. It was like a Clive Clav move.
Francis
I want to disprove. I want to disprove you that it can hear the brick coming. So I almost want to throw it to the left. I don't think it'll move until the brick lands. I'll miss it on purpose. What do you think?
Ron
But that's the. That's the original.
Harry
That's the tactic that Rome was taught.
Francis
What if you have to have another brick ready?
Harry
But what if it. What if it hears it and then it. Instinct. It moves to the left and then it just. The block just lands directly on its head.
Ron
The defective rabbit.
Francis
Well, then I can't be blamed. I'm trying to miss on the head that goes under it to catch it.
Harry
He would be the only person responsible for that happening.
Ron
I love rabbits. That's one of the top 10 cutest animals.
Harry
And Francis wants to destroy it.
Francis
That one. That one looks sick. I think I'd be doing something humane.
Harry
It's probably having a fucking blast.
Ron
But if we saw a rat out there, imagine just a fat rat. We wouldn't be respecting it. Like this rat.
Harry
Rats are ugly and disgusting.
Francis
Maybe it's from. Maybe it's from fishing that I just have the blood. Blood loss.
Ron
Yeah, you definitely have the blood loss. After watching. You were eerily close when that fish was getting cleaned.
Francis
Yeah, I wanted to watch it.
Ron
Why were your hands on your. Your. Your elbows were like on the side of the boat with your supporting your head.
Francis
Yeah, I was just. I wanted to.
Harry
Kicking his feet.
Francis
I like that. I like the fact that the sort of gathering of pelicans kn. Come around for scraps and bits.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
And then he was able to throw bait to the snook. He knew everything in the water.
Harry
I mean. Yeah. He's probably there every day.
Francis
I wonder, I would assume.
Ron
Do you think that anything tastes good to a pelican? Or do you think that it's just going through the.
Harry
And he just goes right through the system, really. Yeah.
Ron
Like there's nothing they enjoy eating or is it just like something that's really meaty and so they don't have to try to eat for a while?
Harry
I don't know. I feel like that's like eating through like a fucking. Like a beer funnel. Like you're not getting any of the fucking taste.
Francis
Yeah. You're just getting it down.
Harry
Yeah. Just inhaling it.
Ron
But they have to like some things better. But Maybe it's like a steak. How it just fills you up.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, think about, like, sushi. Like, they're not. They're all kind of similar.
Ron
What, all fishes?
Harry
Yeah. Like, you ever get, like a bunch of different sushi rolls? By the end of them, you're like, this just tastes like fish.
Ron
Nah, not if they save that toro for the end.
Francis
Yeah. Harry, you see what these guys do for a living. Do you think this would be a job that you'd want if you weren't doing what you were doing?
Harry
No.
Francis
Being a fishing guide?
Harry
No.
Francis
What about a fly fishing guide?
Harry
No.
Francis
Really?
Harry
Yeah. I don't, like. I don't want to. I just want to fish.
Francis
You don't want to deal with people.
Ron
He doesn't want to spend his entire life explaining shit to people.
Harry
Yeah. I also don't want to, like. Yeah, like, I would. I just want to go fishing.
Francis
I guess my question is then, let's say that you achieve your wildest dreams and sock away a ton of money and don't really feel the need to do this anymore. Is there a job that you would do that would keep you busy and interested, but was more fun?

Harry
I have no idea.
Francis
Like if you couldn't just chill and fish and do your own fun stuff, but you actually had to do some kind of a job because Publix is hiring.
Ron
If you want to get your together.
Harry
I think I meet their age requirement. Yeah, I don't know anything really.
Ron
He would be a social media manager.
Harry
Social media manager.
Ron
He'd be making fucking sounds terrible. What are we talking, Baby Trump videos?
Harry
I mean, I don't know what you're asking. Like what's my dream job?
Francis
No, I think, I mean like if, you know, I've thought often about if all of this if I had everything I needed and had said I don't need to prove anything else to myself, I might become a whitewater rafting guide out on the middle fork of the Salmon river in Idaho.
Harry
Interesting.
Ron
That would be so nice I think I'd like that.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Just that you can raft every day.
Francis
You're outside all day. Every day. You're meeting all kinds of different people who are having a lot of fun, and you're. Yeah, it's just. The job is clear.
Ron
I think the altruistic side of you also shines in this role. Maybe teach everybody every day.
Francis
It's for profit.
Harry
That's the thing, too. Like, I don't even think I would be a good guide. I think it would be like, this guy. This guy saw it. Probably, like, what we did, or not even what we did, but, like, if
Ron
you were trying to cast today for somebody. I know you're saying.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
The way that you were casting today, if you were like, yeah, I'm your guide, and you just, like, sent it 10ft and it helicoptered outside like a fidget spinner.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Like, that wouldn't be it.
Harry
Well, I don't think that's. That. That. That was more of a personal dig. What I was referencing was, like, I don't think I'm, like, a personable enough person.
Ron
Oh, God.
Harry
To be a good guy.
Ron
It's who you are, not what you like.
Harry
God. Yeah. I mean, you. You sneak. You just threw me a through a
Ron
shot there because we all had shitty cats.
Harry
I'll take it. I'll take it.
Ron
I'll accept Shitty cast. That's like that. You wanted me to come at you as a person. I just said you had a shitty hide. Shitty cast. Francis had shitty casts.
Francis
I had some really shitty casts, but
Harry
I really picked it up. I mean, you boys saw me at the end, too.
Ron
Francis. Francis picked it up
Harry
zipping through the air.
Ron
But you also didn't have the doohickey on it either.
Harry
Yeah, but even when I had it on, I was long. I was sending it further than you guys, and I was behind you.
Francis
It's much easier to cast that way.
Harry
I know, but I.
Ron
What, four armed with the back of the boat?
Harry
No, I'm saying when I wasn't using the lure.
Francis
Oh, were you going farther?
Harry
Yeah, I was going back, though.
Francis
No, I don't think you were going farther.
Harry
I swear I was. I was bombing it.
Francis
Well, we can do it.
Harry
Like, I saw one like, one of them. Like, it was like, it almost hit, like, the. Like, the bank.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
And I was like, oh, I didn't even know that was possible.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
They thought it was Artemis taking off.
Harry
Yeah. Once it's all about, you just got to figure out the tempo, you know? Find that rhythm.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Find that.
Ron
This is Backhand.
Harry
Find that beat.
Francis
I was throwing backhands like a pimp.
Ron
That looks like a little Rory swing.
Francis
Backing a.
Ron
You really do.
Harry
Yeah, yeah. You were throwing a lot of backhand. I mean, maybe. You ever think that your backhand might be your forehand?
Francis
That's what I was starting to wonder.
Ron
You might be lefty.
Harry
Yeah, you might be.
Francis
You might be starting to think that way.
Harry
Only when it comes to casting, I
Ron
still need both your peach in your pit. And I also need to know if we get this trout tonight grilled at the restaurant or what are they gonna pan fry it?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
If they pan fry it at the restaurant?
Francis
Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
Ron
What is that going to be one person's entree or are we also going to get.
Harry
What would be awesome is if we showed up and they were like. They were like, what the are you guys talking about? Why would you bring food to a restaurant?
Francis
See this here refrigerator? That's filled with what we're cooking tonight. I don't see your fish in there. You think this is some kind of picnic?
Harry
Is that the wrong place?
Ron
Just potlucking at a restaurant?
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
That is ridiculous.
Harry
Showing up with a cooler.
Francis
My peach of the day. My peach of the day was when Harry caught his first fish. Because I actually, as much as I joked and as silly as we were being about whatever, I would have been pretty down if Harry had not caught a fish.
Harry
I don't really think I would have been that down. I mean, I've been. I've been skunked.
Francis
It would have just been like, really sad.
Harry
No, it happens. Like you, I've. You go out fishing with your friends and you get skunked.
Francis
I get that. But I'm saying you're our. You know, it's kind of like when I beat you in video games.
Harry
But I don't do this. And also, it's live bait. Anyone can do it. Am I wrong?
Francis
Well, we don't really need to have the argument because you caught fish. I'm saying that had you not, I would have been sad for you.
Harry
Have you gotten excuse to accept you've
Ron
gotten skunk when there was just you and a couple other people? Yeah, that's tough. And they all caught fish and you didn't.
Harry
Yes, that happens.
Ron
Insane.
Harry
It happens. That happens all the time.
Francis
Damn. Even to the. The guy who fishes all the time.
Harry
Yup. Sometimes it's just. You're not on it.
Francis
Damn.
Harry
You're not getting on them.
Ron
I think that was my. One of my peaks as well when Harry caught one. Just because we could finally. We knew that you wouldn't be in a shitty mood all day. I think that you. There's a good chance that you would
Francis
have start sharing your chips more. Your candy.
Harry
All right, I'll go. I got a couple. I got a couple pits. My peach. Similar to you guys was probably when I caught my first trout today. I like that we all had that one. And then my pit. Let's.
Francis
I'm trying to think mangrove tunnel.
Harry
No, the mangrove tunnel.
Ron
What about when me and Francis paddled away from you?
Harry
When.
Ron
When we were going towards the mangrove tunnel? They said in the footage that you're just cursing the gods, just being like,
Sponsor/Ad Voice
fuck them for fucking going away from
Ron
me when I was trying to keep you close and keep up with Francis.
Harry
No, I. That. That.
Francis
I don't think I was waiting. It just looked like I had gone far, but I just got. I was waiting in the. Around the bend.
Harry
I don't think I was saying you guys, but I think I was definitely like, this. This is. I was pretty pissed. I mean, yeah, I was pretty pissed when we were going out to the mangrove.
Francis
Why were you mad?
Harry
I don't like, like, an unexpected, like, workout. I don't like, just like a sneak attack. Like, oh, shit, now we're using all of our energy.
Ron
I see you didn't want to. It was just like kayaking, though. It's not like.
Harry
Bro, what'd you think? It was like a paddle on the front of the boat and we're going into the current. I'm not saying it wasn't hard for all of us.
Francis
No crossing.
Harry
Definitely not easy crossing.
Francis
That sort of wide channel was hard for sure. And that's also why I knew that you guys wouldn't want to go. Maybe not Rome, but I knew you would not want to go to the dolphins. The dolphin wall.
Harry
Yeah, me and Tyler called that when we were going into the Man.
Francis
So I said to Mac, I was like, we need to just do this on our own. We're just gonna just solve this. We need. We need to see dolphins, so we're gonna go. And I struck out with a furious pace. I mean, the water behind me was frothing. There was. There were motorboats going by, and it was a no wake zone. And they went like this
Ron
for you.
Francis
Slow down. No wake.
Ron
With one man in a kayak and the other man sitting up front.
Francis
Slow. Said, I can't, I can't. I don't have time.
Harry
The way that we. Oh, what were you going to say?
Ron
No, just that. That I did Remember seeing Mac on the front of the boat like that little Indonesian kid. Like doing that dance just standing up there.
Harry
What do they call that name for it? Isn't it?
Ron
I don't know. But I just remember that one.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
That dance.
Francis
Oh yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
Ron
You're about to say something earth shattering.
Harry
I forget what I was gonna say.
Ron
Crazy. You haven't matched socks. 1. One day this week.
Harry
No socks. I'm on a sock shortage right now. My pit. I guess. Yeah. I would say probably. My pit was probably just the five minute kayak over to the mangrove.
Ron
That's a shallow pit.
Francis
You know what my pit was? I weighed myself with a scale in there and it said 220.6.
Ron
That's a deep pit.
Francis
That's the heaviest I've ever been in my life. Legitimately.
Harry
You might be the heaviest person I know.
Francis
I don't think there's a way that that's correct. It sounds like I don't understand how that could be. That too. Fucking 20.
Harry
God damn.
Francis
I can't imagine that scale is accurate
Harry
because kayak didn't sink.
Francis
I weighed like 217 or 218 like three weeks ago when I went to my cardiologist appointment. And I made a vow at that moment to lose some weight. And I've been very much more conscious about it.
Harry
What weight do you have to lose?
Francis
I don't know. It's heavy.
Harry
10% body fat.
Francis
I don't. Fuck. I have no idea. I just. I'm scared of that number. Maybe it's healthy weight. But even if it were muscle, I don't want to be that big of a guy.
Harry
220.
Francis
I'm a 210 guy. I'm a 210 guy.
Harry
Just lay off the kettlebells.
Francis
I guess. Is it possible that 2 weeks of kettlebell workouts has added 5 pounds of muscle? No way. Steroids? That's crazy.
Harry
You can't gain five pounds of muscle in two weeks.
Ron
It could be due to the six beers and then four mixed drinks that you had before you had your seafood dinner.
Francis
I had two mixed drinks last night.
Ron
Two?
Francis
Yeah. But they were. There was no.
Ron
No, three, because the dessert one.
Francis
Oh, well, that was that.
Ron
What is. What was that drink?
Francis
It's called a hummer.
Ron
Holy. That's sick.
Francis
I'm having a ball. Guys. It's fun down here. This is cool. I'm gonna show her. When we go back for dinner. I'm gonna show you guys my house. If that's all right with You.
Ron
You got to.
Harry
Didn't we already go by.
Francis
I wanted to. We just briefly took a glance. But I'd like to walk you into the garden area and show you.
Harry
Oh, okay.
Francis
And show you the house.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
That's a great honor.
Harry
Yeah, of course.
Francis
Oh.
Ron
Show a little bit of respect, a little bit of appreciation. I'd love to see that.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Maybe we get a bottle of white and walk around the grounds.
Francis
It's not. Not a bad idea at all. Pour one out. Pour one out for the house that once was.
Ron
I mean you showed us some of the area around there and it is fucking beautiful.
Francis
I'm excited for when it's fixed.
Ron
I heard movie just bought down here.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Yeah, movie bought down here too. Well, the guy said there's a great time to buy. Interest rates are high in a couple
Ron
different areas that movies. Making a real estate empire.
Harry
Cali.
Ron
It's going to be like fox and roach. Florida, 21st century movie.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Peach and Pitt.
Ron
You've never. I can't believe you've never done Peach and Pitt.
Harry
Or Rose and Thorn.
Francis
Rose and Thorn. Rosenthorne. That sounds like a real estate company. Rosenthorne. Yeah.
Ron
Rosenthorne.
Francis
Rosenthorne.
Harry
Well, it's not. It's Rose and Thorn.
Francis
Rose and Thorn Realty. We have the best prices. You prick. Something like that.
Ron
Your prick is. Is great.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
You. They need to. They need to hear this. That made up company that we just made up.
Harry
It's crazy. I don't think I've seen someone that's not white once. I was just thinking about that. Like I don't think I've seen a single person who wasn't like 100 white.
Ron
That's true. When have you seen someone that's not true. When we were getting the like body armors and the body armor waters last night at the gas station.
Harry
Oh yeah. So one. Yeah, we saw a black guy.
Ron
We saw a black guy at the gas station.
Harry
Outside of the gas station.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis
But he was there though.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
He was real. What's that?
Harry
He was working at Publix too.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
But even like at the grocery store,
Francis
I don't know, we. If we looked around enough.
Harry
Oh, I was looking.
Ron
Publix is a well oiled machine. Yeah. I've never seen a grocery store that
Francis
runs like that's really good. It was impressive.
Harry
Yeah. Then they know how to operate. Yeah.
Ron
I guess it's that. That like. I think a lot of the grocery stores I go to have have Hispanic bros and sisters working.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
Yes. And here in Florida that Just does not fly.
Harry
No, they don't. Instead of having like. Yeah, it's just like really old white people and st. Bed.
Ron
Yeah. I wonder if that changes the wage. Can't. It shouldn't.
Harry
In my America paid like 75k a year benefits.
Francis
You know how in certain neighborhoods in New York you can go to grocery stores that are ethnically themed?
Harry
Yeah, yeah.
Francis
So there's a Chinese grocery store, the Japanese, you know, there's Korean market, whatever.
Ron
Yeah, of course.
Francis
What do you think if, if there were a grocery store in like China, the American store, the American grocery store, what would that have?
Ron
They have those in different countries. I think there's European ones and they have like Reese's puffs and like peanut butter and stuff like that.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Yeah. That's interesting.
Francis
Peanut butter is big. Other cultures don't really eat that. It was. I remember trying to find that in France and it was hard.
Ron
Yeah, they were like, we have Nutella.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
But yeah, they never have the.
Francis
I think it's. I think it's cow cawette.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
They should have like grocery stores. For every country I went to, people feel at home.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
I went to the Brooklyn Children's Museum and the only exhibits were just ethnic grocery stores. That's the exhibits at the Brooklyn Children's Museum. It's just like 20 ethnic groceries.
Harry
What are the other ethnic grocery stores though?
Ron
Like, like there's Hispanic and Asian, Caribbean, African. And that was just like on one side it was. I mean it was. Go to the Brooklyn Children's Museum. It's been around for over 100 years.
Francis
You shouldn't go there without a child.
Harry
No, definitely not.
Ron
You get a better rate.
Francis
There was a sprinkler system that was really fun on the Brooklyn Bridge waterfront park that I used to want to go to all the time.
Ron
The splash pad.
Francis
Yeah, it had a thing that came out. You know what I'm talking about?
Harry
Yeah, of course.
Francis
But there was a sign on the gate in the front that said no. No one over the age of like 13 is allowed without the accompaniment of a child.
Harry
That's tough.
Francis
It's really rare to see a sign that. That's such a flip. Usually it's like 13 year olds are not allowed in here without adult supervision.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
But in this case.
Harry
But it's the other way around.
Francis
And I think that's all from what's happened to the world.
Ron
It is weird to see people take a stance against pedophilia. Usually it's just so ingrained. People just go with it so hard.
Francis
Well, also I mean, fundamentally, that sign would make me want, be more of a pedophile. It's like, I want to be in the water. So I'm going to get a kid. You can't just let me in as a completely normal adult to use the. I'm hot.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
What if you just want me to go find a child?
Harry
What if you just go to the lifeguard and you're like, keep an eye on me, like, I'll be the oldest.
Francis
Yeah, exactly. I promise to keep my eyes above waist. Like.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
No, no touching. None of these kids are mine.
Harry
My hands are up. They're. They're going to be out of the water.
Francis
Give me 10 minutes. Give me 10 minutes.
Harry
Just going up to my waist. You don't got to worry about me.
Francis
Yeah. If I get hard at all, I'm out of here.
Harry
Yeah. Pull me. Blow the whistle. Blow the whistle.
Francis
Yag me, coach. I'm not gonna let you down.
Ron
How about that woman that, that called you skinny today?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Francis?
Ron
You should have hit her with the fact that you're 220.
Francis
She's just enabling me. It's horseshit.
Harry
Yeah, she flamed your ass.
Ron
She was like, you guys are all skinny.
Harry
She called you a twink.
Francis
She did?
Harry
Yeah. When we were walking away, she was. When we were, we were walking away, she goes, fucking twink.
Francis
Yeah, well, inbred hillbilly bitch.
Harry
Like, I didn't know people said that shit like that.
Francis
Sorry.
Ron
They're like, you skinny little six pack of twinks.
Francis
Where was that again?
Harry
I was at the, the life jackets.
Francis
Oh, yeah. Oh, you work in a life jacket rental place, bitch.
Ron
She was calling me a twink and you should have been like, I'm fucking 220.
Harry
Yeah, 220. Yeah.
Francis
How twink? How twink is that?
Harry
Yeah, more of a bear if anything.
Francis
220 pounds filled with cream Twink.
Ron
Like that fucking bunny over there. I would definitely sell that bunny.
Francis
You understand that the second we stop recording, I'm gonna try to kill it? No, that's been bothering me this whole time. It's so arrogant. It just. Look, it thinks it does.
Harry
It even got close, it would run away.
Ron
I also think that it is funny that you can just kill fish like that that you catch so easily, but if you killed that bunny, you would be the biggest monster of all time.
Francis
I do like the fact that the all everyone involved in the fishing industry that I've ever met seems to be incredibly protective of the fish and adheres to the rules pretty strictly.
Harry
Oh, yeah, you got to.
Francis
Of Course. Pretty. But then again, you don't. In what other industry does everybody follow the rules like that?
Harry
I mean, you also like, well, first of all, people want to preserve the fish so that they can keep fishing.
Francis
Correct.
Harry
And then also if you like, break like any, like, if you break like any of the rules, like the game wardens can just take everything.
Francis
They'll. They'll take. And they'll take your license. So that's your job.
Harry
All of your gear.
Francis
You know that there are some fucking guys out there who are like. Like, yeah, we're not supposed to do this, but.
Harry
Oh, yeah, 100.
Ron
But we also had three cameras with us today, for sure.
Francis
I'm just saying the fact that they're those. Our captains know that know people like that and still they will play by the rules.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Which is to their credit.
Harry
Yeah.
Ron
You got to be damn good if you're gonna cheat on fish. Like those geniuses that put the weights in the fish. Yeah, those are good, good fish.
Francis
Cheetahs. That video scares me. I'm pretty sure those guys were like strung up around a fucking light pole later that night in town, you know, hanged by fishing line.
Ron
It's a tight knit community. It's a great community.
Harry
They got weights and fish.
Francis
They got weights. And I remember someone yells. Someone yells, if they did it here, imagine how many times they've already done it.
Ron
Because you don't just come up with that once. You don't get caught your first time.
Harry
Yeah, people were really mad. I get it. I would be mad too.
Francis
Yeah.
Harry
Especially if you're dependent on that money.
Ron
There's no weights that were small enough to offset the fish that we caught today.
Harry
What do you mean that.
Ron
Those, like if you put weights in in those fish, it would just be the weights.
Harry
Oh, yeah. There was.
Ron
There was no fish to go with it.
Harry
No, no.
Francis
Do you have a favorite fish you've ever caught in your life?
Harry
Yeah, I mean, it's always the next one.
Francis
Come on. There's no, There's. Is there a real prize moment that stands out to you?
Harry
That next fish? Yeah, I mean any. Probably just any of the big trout that I've caught. Like in Wyoming.
Francis
Huh. How are you run?
Ron
No, just the one you caught yesterday. Honestly, that's my biggest one.
Harry
I'm trying stripers too.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
What do you think yours is?
Francis
Well, I'm trying to decide if. If like my favorite trout that I caught in New Zealand or. Or that tarpon yesterday. It's one of those.
Ron
We got to get back to New Zealand.
Francis
Yeah. Just as guys, we'll go to New Zealand for our. Our seventh fish week.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Fish week seven.
Harry
Yeah, we gotta. Still gotta figure out where we're going for gun week.
Francis
Gun week?
Ron
Tennessee. Right?
Francis
Where are we going for gun week? Are we going to Tennessee for gun week?
Ron
Go to that bourbon factory.
Francis
Oh, we should go to the bourbon factory.
Ron
What are you going to do in Arizona with a gun?
Francis
What state is the best at guns?
Harry
Anything in Arizona.
Francis
What state's the best at guns? Honest question.
Harry
Probably Nevada, right? Vegas.
Ron
Colorado.
Harry
Vegas. You can shoot like tanks.
Francis
No, I think it's Texas. You need. You need tons of land so that you can just unload.
Ron
I think you're right. It's got to be Texas.
Francis
There's tons of land in Texas.
Harry
Yeah, it could be Texas. I mean, maybe it's Florida.
Francis
No, way too populated here.
Ron
Maybe most guns per. Per head.
Harry
It's Wyoming.
Francis
Wyoming. They're the best at guns. Oh, cool.
Harry
Gemini or Claude.
Francis
We'll go to Wyoming then. You love Wyoming.
Harry
Oh, yeah. But to fast country.
Ron
That means if we go to for gun week, you ain't dropping lines.
Harry
Nothing wrong with a little.
Ron
Yeah, but that's not what that trip's for, bro.
Harry
A little fishing.
Ron
No, that's a boondoggle if you start going out there for that.
Francis
I think we do gun week in Wyoming.
Harry
Cast and blast.
Ron
I think we got to go to Edinburgh.
Francis
What's that for?
Ron
I've texted you guys for one of the fish weeks. We got to go for Edinburgh.
Francis
Are they known for that there?
Ron
Of course.
Francis
Well, I bet if we went into the Highlands of Scotland, they'd be good.
Harry
I have no idea.
Ron
Is there anyone you could ask?
Harry
No. Honestly, about Edinburgh, I mean, I could ask Claude.
Ron
You don't know anybody that's in Edinburgh right now?
Harry
No.
Francis
For fringe. Is there. Is there some kind of thing I'm missing?
Ron
I don't know. He does.
Harry
In Scotland?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Ron
You know someone that's in Edinburgh right now?
Francis
Who?
Ron
Your sister. Oh.
Harry
Oh, but they're in fucking Edinburgh?
Ron
Yeah, they're in Edinburgh, Scotland, today.
Harry
Oh, they must be doing, like, a
Ron
day trip there two hours ago.
Francis
He knows and you don't?
Harry
Well, he was clearly using that against me. He obviously was waiting for the big.
Ron
I wasn't. I was trying to just lead you to it because it's so obvious. I was like, I set you up five times. If you roll back the tape to be like, yeah, my sister's there right now.
Harry
The last person on earth that I thought you were referring to would be my sister, who you've never met.
Ron
What are you talking about?
Harry
Like that would like. I. I wasn't thinking of my family at all. I was like, who? I don't.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Shane.
Harry
I was like, is he doing a show in Scotland?
Ron
The first thing I think of is our families. That's all I'm ever thinking of is our families. Surely you follow his sister too.
Francis
On Instagram.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
I don't. How. I don't. I don't think so.
Ron
I mean, we're friends.
Francis
I should have. I hope she's not insulted that I don't. But I've never met her. I'm not sure I respect the privacy of your family. I only follow your dad. I love talking to your. I do. I do like following your dad.
Ron
I love talking to your dad.
Harry
Neither of you know my dad or follow him on anything.
Francis
Why do you say that?
Harry
Because he doesn't have anything.
Francis
So you think,
Harry
who knows?
Francis
I'm his only follower.
Ron
Well, I want to go to Scotland. That was. That's my original point is that I want to go to Edinburgh with you fellas.
Harry
I'm down to go to Edinburgh.
Francis
Let's head and let's Edinburgh.
Ron
Edinburgh or Ireland would be sick. Or New Zealand if we have to.
Francis
New Zealand's tough. You gotta. You can't go to New Zealand. Shorter than in like a week.
Ron
See, that's why I'm pitching. That's why I'm pitching.
Harry
I think that's why we go Iceland.
Ron
Yeah. Iceland's on the table.
Francis
Iceland's on the table. Iceland would be cool. Iceland would be cool.
Harry
Patagonia.
Francis
That's tough.
Ron
See, that's off the table.
Francis
It's just too far. It's too hard to get down there.
Ron
What about Nova Scotia? Definitely get some mackerel right off the coast.
Harry
I'm down. I'm delving. I'm definitely down.
Francis
That's easy.
Ron
We can go one hour flight.
Harry
Is there another country we could go to for gun week or is that. That's probably a strictly American thing. Right?
Francis
We are the best country at guns. That's for sure.
Harry
The most.
Ron
I think some Middle Eastern countries have a lot now.
Francis
Oh yeah, they're pretty good.
Harry
What if we went to like. What if we went somewhere where there's no guns? We bring. We bring our own. That's the whole concept, Artem.
Francis
Stardom on them. Get them hooked.
Harry
Yeah, exactly. Gun week for shipping in guns.
Ron
They've never heard. They've never heard of guns before.
Francis
Yeah, we. It's like planting an invasive species.
Harry
Exactly. Yeah.
Francis
It's like. Oh, You've never seen an AK47?
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
Well, try it out.
Harry
Check this one out.
Francis
Hold the weight of that.
Harry
Yeah. Wow. That. Wow. You're a natural.
Francis
Careful there. That's going to give you a lot of power that you didn't ever know you were capable of possessing or wielding. Oh, we gotta go to north. Do I see a political future for you?
Harry
Do you like your area? What if it was bigger? If it was more vast?
Francis
I heard your neighbor's been your wife. Sergey.
Harry
What if your country's border was just a little bit wider?
Ron
That would be so nice. Yeah.
Harry
Gotta get Canada.
Ron
We gotta get gun week going. Maybe we go to Greenland.
Harry
Greenland for gun week?
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
Then we try to find just anyone with like. There's got to be someone here with a gun.
Francis
Where's the gun? In the country?
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
We need to see it.
Ron
Hide the gun, Find the gun. Some shit like that would be incredible.
Harry
Do we work as a team or do we split up as soon as we get to Greenland? Probably cover ground faster.
Francis
You always want to split up.
Harry
Well, that could. We'd probably cover ground for bow hunting.
Ron
We could split up. But for this we have to stay together for the. For the raffles.

Do you guys think, you know, that you could live in Florida?
Harry
I don't know. I really don't know. I don't really know what it's like to live here, you know, only been here for so long.
Ron
I want. I'd like to have a home here. Just a pad that I never go to.
Harry
Yeah. Having a spot here wouldn't be bad.
Ron
Having a spot that you don't go to.
Harry
Yeah. Where would you be in this exact area, or would you switch it up?
Ron
I wouldn't be in this exact area because the people who own this house are clearly just like Airbnb fiends, people who are just the air. This is the bubble right here. This is the Airbnb bubble. This house that we're at right now, it's barely habitable, especially for the amount of square feet that it has. And it's just slopped together.
Harry
Yeah, it really is slop. That couch setup is insane.
Ron
It's a line of couches facing the wall.
Francis
It's slop.
Harry
Like, if you're on the second couch, you just can't see the TV at all. Yeah.
Ron
But you just are looking dead at another wall.
Harry
Yeah. Yeah. You're looking at the edge of the tv.
Ron
It's so unintelligently designed. The bedrooms are all, oh, my God,
Harry
my bed is awful.
Ron
Yeah. And they're all saying their beds are great on the other.
Harry
Oh, really? They got mine. Fucking rock.
Ron
Yeah.
Harry
And it's like the. Like, my. My sheets are like. They literally feels like Plexiglas.
Francis
This. This Situation is so bad that I almost wish it would get out the way that, like your Telluride bush stuff.
Harry
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Francis
So that, like. Like, it would change people's opinions of us.
Harry
Yeah, yeah.
Francis
Like, wow, those guys are really, like, really roughing it.
Ron
I gotta show them the single beds that I'm sleeping in. Yeah. If they see the single beds.
Francis
I feel like if Dave found out where we were sleeping, he'd be like, come on, guys, you can do a little better.
Ron
It's like when he went to the Chicago office.
Francis
Yeah, exactly.
Ron
The door, and he's like, what's.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
This is where you guys are.
Harry
What are we.
Francis
What are you doing?
Ron
This is what you're doing fish week out of.
Harry
Yeah, I know. Fish week should be a celebration.
Ron
It should be.
Harry
That's a sacrifice.
Ron
We need to start. We need to start basing fish week around where we can get the fucking mansion.
Harry
I know, right?
Ron
We get the man.
Harry
You'd think Florida.
Francis
We'll be doing gun week on Nantucket. Beverly Hills, California, or Malibu.
Ron
Getting the Malibu house would be sick.
Francis
That would be sick.
Ron
You have to share rooms. What about fish week in Hawaii? Yeah, you're not built for that.
Harry
Alaska.
Ron
Is it always going to be fish week? If it's not gun week, are we going to. Can we pivot to something else?
Harry
We can be. Other week.
Francis
We can pivot.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
What's another type of week?
Francis
Well, the thing is, is it has to be something that Harry's interested. That's why we keep doing fish week, right?
Harry
No, I mean, I'm down for anything.
Ron
What if we start, like, a video game team?
Harry
Oh, we could do a bush week.
Francis
Yeah, we could do. We could do bush week.
Ron
How would that work? We come to Atlanta. We film content every day in Atlanta. And then we have two podcast episodes, one with Jerry and one with, like, somebody with. With Mook, one with Mooc and Jerry, one with somebody famous from esports.
Harry
I mean, yeah, we could do something like that, but it might be a problem with if we're. If we're filming content for both. I mean, I would have to do all the stuff for Bush, too.
Francis
Yeah, it doesn't sound possible.
Ron
Sounds like he's breaking up with us.
Francis
Doesn't sound impossible to do stuff or both.
Harry
Well, we have to stream all day, right?
Ron
Maybe Bo could come and hang out with me and Francis.
Harry
I think Bo is going to come. You guys are more than welcome to come.
Francis
How big of a deal is this upcoming Met Major?
Harry
Well, it's only a big deal if we make the pro Amount. And we. So we have, like, these elites next week or maybe in two weeks. And the elite is like, an online qualifier tournament. And if we win it, we will get into the Pro Am, which there's four teams going to the Pro Am that'll play against the professional league on, like, the main stage.
Francis
And what happens if you do well in the Pro Am? Could you get promoted?
Harry
I mean, technically, you can win the Pro Am.
Francis
And if you won the Pro Am, would you become a. A member of the pro team?
Harry
No, but they would probably have to, like, reconsider the entire setup of the league.
Francis
Oh, that's cool.
Harry
Yeah, but I mean, like, winning it would be crazy. But even just making it would be sick.
Francis
That's like.
Harry
And then if you get knocked out of the Pro Am, they let you go and play in the challengers major. Cool. Yeah.
Ron
Was it. Weren't you guys expected to win while you were in England?
Harry
Yeah, we were. So if we won or we came in second, I think the. The two. Two top two teams, I believe from that both went to are both automatically qualified for the Pro Am.
Ron
That's so we can't do. He basically. He offered us bush week and said that I'm too busy to do anything with you.
Francis
That's what he said.
Ron
Even though you said bush week. And I was like, okay, how can we make that happen?
Harry
Well, I didn't know we were turning it around next week.
Ron
Well, when are we doing bush week?
Harry
I don't know, but that's literally in, like, two weeks.
Ron
All right, we'll put a pin in bush week.
Harry
You just want to get right back out there.
Ron
Yeah, I'm trying to grow the bush more than anything.
Francis
Trying to be unshaven more than anything.
Harry
Well, you guys are more than welcome to come.
Ron
It'll be amazing.
Francis
I love May and Atlanta.
Harry
Yeah.
Francis
There's such good seafood food there. I actually think there is really good food in Atlanta.
Harry
There is.
Francis
Atlanta is a city that kind of is overwhelming to me.
Harry
I love Atlanta.
Francis
I haven't figured it out, and I
Ron
think they have some of the most creative food.
Francis
It's too much. It's too big for me to figure out, so I'm just gonna let them do their thing and maintain a healthy respect for the city.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
They have, like, Mac and cheese cones
Ron
and, like, multicolored, like. Like, hot chicken and stuff.
Francis
You know that. Do you guys know that I'm a huge Outkast fan? Andre 3K and Big Boy, sing a
Ron
little bit for us.
Harry
Hey, Biggie Piggy. That's Honey Piggy, Piggy.
Ron
That's Bones. That's Bone Thugs and hormones.
Harry

Ron
It's. But the words are literally. It's Bone and Biggie. Biggie. It's Bone and Biggie.
Francis

Ron
It's Bone and Biggie. Oh, yeah. Outcast.

Harry
That's a banger.
Francis
The whole world. What a great song that was. Do you remember that song?
Ron
Of course.
Francis
Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get.
Harry
We should see if we can find like a pit bull show to go to down here. Yeah.
Ron
Flow Rider.
Harry
Since we're going to be done with everything after we end this.
Ron
Yeah, we got to do something else. We got to find more cos see
Harry
if we can go find Mr. 3 305.
Ron
What. What counter year are we in right now? What area code are we in? It's not 305, obviously.
Francis
I don't know.
Harry
412-330-305 is what Miami.
Ron
Can I say something? That we did this episode out of respect for. For the viewers at home. No Doritos on the table.
Harry
Yeah, we did do that.
Ron
How nice of that. Of us is that.
Harry
I don't think we're allowed to say it.
Ron
We didn't put. We can't say Doritos. No way.
Harry
No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Ron
We didn't put.
Harry
We're gonna have to bleep that out
Ron
our cylinder chip can. Yeah.
Harry
Frito Lay is not gonna be happy.
Ron
We couldn't put our. Our, our chips on the table. And then they also told us that we can't have. We can't have YouTube. And I'm gonna try to work on that. We can't put YouTube videos up.
Francis
Yeah, that's.
Ron
That's insane to me.
Francis
We're gonna keep trying to pull stuff
Harry
up on the podcast.
Ron
Yeah, right.
Harry
Like, we can't even use, like, pictures. Right.
Ron
Anything if you just scroll.
Harry
Yeah, basically.
Francis
I see.
Harry
Interesting.
Francis
Damn.
Ron
Well, we need. We are going to fight that head, head, tooth and nail.
Harry
Looks like we're going to have to go down to Miami.
Ron
Looks like we're going to Key West.
Francis
Find a lawyer.
Harry
Got to find Prez941.
Ron
Shout out to the 941.
Harry
We should roll up at Dave's place and be like, what is this I'm hearing about YouTube videos? Why are you guys here?
Francis
Knocking on his front door, Francis remembered where the house was.
Ron
You remember the Latitude and Longitude house off the top of his head. He triangulated. You rode up on the back of a.
Francis
When I went to Dave's house, I think I said this, but he's got a chef and his chef made for lunch chicken Caesar wraps that I'm. This is a absolutely thought through statement were the best chicken Caesar wraps I've ever had in my life.
Ron
Wow. I wonder what was so good about it. How fast.
Francis
I'll tell you what was so good. They grilled the tortilla wrap on each side.
Ron
That's pretty good.
Harry
That's good.
Francis
The chicken was moist and warm.
Ron
Was it fried or grilled?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Chicken?
Francis
Grilled.
Ron
Was it wasn't breaded?
Francis
No.
Ron
Was it pretty well seasoned?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
The chicken, Any chances?
Francis
Blackened seasoning was perfect. Not overly dressed. Not too crouton heavy. I don't like super crouton heavy wraps. We got enough carbs as it is. Just add a little something for the texture and let me enjoy some nice long strings of parmesan especially. I. I don't even want. I want it to be a somewhat interesting lettuce.
Ron
So day traders got a chef. Holy
Harry
page views.
Ron
Page views at it again. I'm surprised it took him this long. He should not be cooking anything. You think he ever scurries down in the middle of the night for a PB and J or something American like that?
Francis
I bet there's just snacks that are created for him in the night.
Harry
He'd probably just leave them right outside of his bedroom door. We had a feeling you'd get hungry.
Ron
Here's your cheesy bites, Dave. Damn. I didn't realize he had a chef. I don't think you have told that. Has he told that?
Harry
No, I don't think that's public info.
Francis
Whatever.
Ron
Pager's got a chef.
Francis
I got three more.
Harry
So much for. For the common man.
Ron
Seriously, he probably wants that under wraps.
Harry
You probably just exposed him and probably hurt his brand.
Francis
Oh no. I'm sorry.
Ron
The guy on the the publicly 28 million dollar house isn't cooking for himself. He's taking an indulgence. They have to live with him, right?
Francis
I don't know. I don't think so. I think he lives in Miami or something. I'm not sure. Yeah.
Harry
So he's flying the chef in every night?
Francis
No, the guy drives down from Miami.
Ron
Maybe it was just when you were around and he wanted to impress you. Like when people.
Francis
It did not seem.
Harry
Yeah, maybe he hired the chef because you were there. Just like.
Francis
That was not my impression.
Ron
We fly someone in. I can't take Francis to the restaurant.
Francis
I don't think Dave was like, oh, fuck, Francis is coming.
Ron
What do I have in the house?
Francis
I wish people felt that way.
Ron
That's how I feel.
Francis
That would be cool.
Ron
That's how I feel when you come around this house.
Francis
No way.
Ron
Now.
Harry
All right, all right.
Ron
That's gonna do it.
Harry
That's gonna do it.
Francis
For. For.
Harry
Well, I guess no. Tomorrow the kayaking video comes out.
Francis
So pretty funny.
Ron
And there. Will there be a best of something maybe. We've been filming some of the car. We need to re boot it. But there might be some stuff from that. Even if there's not. It's been so fun doing fish week. And we grind to get this. All this stuff out. And it's not. Obviously it's not hard, but it's one thing after another after another.
Francis
Yeah.
Ron
And so the dudes working behind the scenes, it's significantly less fun for these three brothers. So definitely W's for these bros. W's in the chat. Yeah.
Francis
All right, thanks. Come see me in San Francisco in a couple weeks. Cobs for the weekend.
Ron
Dude, I feel like I just. I thought I just saw a person behind you. I might be. Yeah, I. I don't know if that was just a face in the palms, but I feel like I just saw a good, good ghost behind you.
Francis
All right.
Ron
Did you see that kid run through the backyard earlier? Was that a figment bicycle?
Harry
Yeah, I saw that.
Ron
Was that real?
Francis
That was real. All right.
Ron
All right.
Francis
Thank you.
Harry
Thank you.
Francis
That's fish week.
Harry
That is fish week. Goodbye.
Ron
Back tomorrow for some more fish week.
Podcast by Barstool Sports
Date: April 23, 2026
This installment of Son of a Boy Dad marks the conclusion of the crew’s much-anticipated "Fish Week." Lil Sasquatch (Harry) joins hosts Rone and Francis, reflecting on days spent fishing, kayaking, and exploring the outdoors. The episode weaves together banter about fishing triumphs (and failures), musings on what it means to be self-sufficient (could they survive a Castaway situation?), and signature irreverent humor on everything from Publix sandwiches to weaponized rabbits. It’s a relaxed, sun-drenched, laughter-filled debrief with recurring themes of friendship, masculinity, and comedic self-deprecation.
“Fishing, it's all about patience and relaxing, and it takes you into a meditative state… Was I a little bit flustered? Of course.” – Harry (03:32)
“I was a little scared... I was worried that it was gonna— I was gonna lose it.” – Francis (10:40)
“That trout had 1 million eggs… Not anymore. You think it genocide?” – Ron and Harry (09:24-09:34)
“I think they're all rich locals who are just doing it kind of as community service… They gotta be rich, right?!" – Ron (12:10)
“Do you think that if Castaway happened to us… you'd survive?” – Francis (16:01)
“Everyone involved in the fishing industry… is incredibly protective of the fish and adheres to the rules strictly.” – Francis (43:00)
On fishing as meditation:
“Fishing, it's all about patience and relaxing… it takes you into a meditative state.” — Harry (03:32)
On male affection and fatherhood:
“You don't think it's gay to have kids?” — Ron
“No, not at all. I think it's a miracle that we should be celebrating.” — Harry (05:55–06:01)
On existential Publix conundrums:
“The pit was seeing how old those folks were, and the realization that they had to grind.” — Ron (12:19)
On hypothetical survival:
“Do you think that evolution would kick in quickly enough... to teach you your own survival skills?” — Francis (16:35)
Friendly shade:
“You sneak—you just threw me a… shot there because we all had shitty casts.” — Ron to Harry (27:16)
Weight (and self-esteem) check:
“I weighed myself, and it said 220.6. That's the heaviest I've ever been in my life.” — Francis (34:03)
Inventing "gun week":
“We've got to get gun week going. Maybe we go to Greenland.” — Ron (51:00)
On property and Airbnb culture:
“This is the Airbnb bubble. This house that we're at right now, it’s barely habitable… and it's just slopped together.” — Ron (54:30)
On wrap superiority:
“I'm telling you, they grilled the tortilla wrap on each side—the best chicken Caesar wraps I've ever had in my life.” — Francis (63:16)
| Timestamp | Segment | Highlights | |:-----------|:------------------------------------------------------|:-------------------------------------------| | 03:13–07:46 | Fishing recap and numbers | Fish counts, friendly rivalries | | 11:16–12:25 | Publix "peak and pit" ritual | Sandwich joy & discomfort | | 15:36–18:20 | Rabbit hunting hypotheticals | Absurd survival banter | | 29:31–32:15 | Kayak drama | Bickering over being "left behind" | | 41:28–42:19 | Francis called a “twink” by a local | Body image, local color | | 43:00–44:29 | On fishing ethics and cheaters | Rule-following, “weights in fish” scandal | | 45:41–51:20 | “Gun week” & global trips brainstorm | Travel/fantasy, American gun culture | | 54:30–56:08 | Airbnb/rental misadventures & "slop" house | Critique of rental house | | 63:08–64:28 | Dave's chef story | Food envy, privilege |
The conversation is loose, irreverent, and built on inside jokes and gentle ribbing—a blend of earnest reflection and playful mockery. Slang, sarcasm, and exaggeration reflect their rapport and the Barstool aesthetic. At times, moments of genuine vulnerability or social commentary peek through the haze of humor.
This episode is a classic, meandering Boy Dad session—equal parts trip debrief, philosophical musing, and absurdist comedy. The hosts’ core concern with “fishing as manhood” quickly unspools into debates about Publix, hypothetical rabbit traps, and gun culture, with plenty of self-deprecation and homage to the friendship at its core. If you want podcast comfort food—equal measures banter, bonding, and bits—this is for you.
Fish Week concluded, but the friendship—and the inside jokes—are just getting started.
