Unk
All right, ready?
Francis Ellis
All right. I have nothing to talk about.
Unk
Alrighty. Welcome back to the Son of a Boy dad podcast. Today, it's October 28th. It is 12:30pm and we are here live from HQ3.
Francis Ellis
This cup of whatever's in it costs 9.88.
Unk
That's steep. That's in it.
Francis Ellis
Insane.
Unk
What's in it?
Hoopa
Soup.
Francis Ellis
It's a chai. It's a chai latte with almond milk.
Hoopa
Wow. I've been making coffee. I've been making my own coffee now for a couple years and I'll tell you what I'm saving. I'm saving enough money to put my kids.
Unk
To buy a coffee maker.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. To buy an outfit that looks like you're in stage crew. I'm sorry.
Hoopa
I'm sorry. I did.
Unk
Oh, no.
Hoopa
How's that?
Francis Ellis
Are you sure? He's kind of low over there.
Hoopa
Okay, we're good.
Unk
Bastard.
Francis Ellis
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
Hoopa
No, that's okay.
Francis Ellis
All black is good. All black is becoming.
Hoopa
Well, you know, my problem is that I was wearing a sweater and that looked nice. Black sweater. And I can't wear a sweater inside. I immediately start getting hot. It could be made of cooling gel and I'd still get too hot from it.
Unk
Yeah, you smell good.
Hoopa
Don't say. Yeah, you're wearing a fucking. You could go summit Everest in what you're wearing right now.
Unk
Surprisingly, this is actually not that warm.
Hoopa
I don't believe you. Even that hoodie would be too much for me. And then you have two T shirts on under that.
Unk
I don't.
Francis Ellis
It's one of those optical illusion T shirts.
Unk
My optical illusion shirt.
Francis Ellis
Like two shirts. But still, that is a lot of. I'm wearing the same shirt, the exact.
Unk
Same thing that you're wearing right now.
Hoopa
It's close.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. The same amount of layers, but this is a thin, thin shirt.
Hoopa
No, you're right. And Ron's is. Yeah. You're wearing outerwear inner inside.
Unk
Yeah, I can't argue with that.
Hoopa
Also, didn't you wear that yesterday?
Unk
Pretty much. Word for word. Bar for bar, Bar for bar.
Hoopa
So how does that happen? You don't ever feel like I don't have the same clothes from yesterday? Makes you feel a little stale.
Unk
No, because it's not like. I know deep down. It's not actually the same clothes.
Hoopa
You know, deep down. Like, I know like a metaphysical like.
Unk
On the outside, it may appear that I'm wearing the same clothes, but I know I've got, like.
Francis Ellis
It's like how you can't step in the same room. I've got different baselines.
Hoopa
When you consider the atomic structure of clothing from one day to the next, frankly, the atoms have rearranged.
Unk
Well, because, like, when you think of, like, wearing the same clothes, what do you think of? You think of socks?
Hoopa
No, I think any article of clothing except for a jacket touching my skin. Yeah, I'm sweating.
Unk
What about pants? You won't wear pants two days in a row.
Hoopa
I could wear pants the same two days in a row for sure.
Francis Ellis
But you don't.
Hoopa
But I wouldn't wear the same underwear.
Unk
But we wouldn't know socks.
Hoopa
And I certainly wouldn't wear the same T shirt.
Francis Ellis
I've never seen Frances wear the same pants two days in a row.
Hoopa
When I travel on short trips, like for a weekend or a long weekend, I'll probably wear the same pants every day because I like to pack as lightly as I can. And I'll go in a backpack if I can.
Unk
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I. I like the winter because it's. You just throw a jacket on, you know, for the fall. Fall slash winter. Like, I feel like I worry a lot more about it during, like, the spring and the summer.
Francis Ellis
You ever watch videos of these minimalists who were, like. Who only have one pair of pants and they can, like, bring everything that they own anywhere that they go?
Unk
It's like Heat. Gotta be willing. Gotta be willing to get. What do they say in Heat means? Like, you gotta be willing to turn the corner when Heat's coming, Leave everything behind.
Francis Ellis
Al Paidino.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Oh, my God.
Unk
You guys never seen Heat?
Hoopa
I've seen Heat. Not enough to know the quotes.
Unk
I've only seen it once.
Hoopa
Well, you were paying attention.
Unk
I was?
Hoopa
You were. You had the script and were reading along as you. You basically watched Heat the way that Clemmer watches a baseball game.
Unk
I'm like, how? How?
Francis Ellis
The scorecard.
Hoopa
Keeping the box core.
Unk
Every time I watch an Al Pacino movie, I try to make sure I have at least one. One quote to walk away from. That I can. That I can then go tell people.
Francis Ellis
Is that your one, or did you have another one from Heat?
Unk
Now, I don't really remember the exact quote, but I just remember that he talks about. Remember they had the dinner.
Francis Ellis
Like I've ever seen Heat.
Unk
Really?
Francis Ellis
Is it about a bad cop or is that Serpico? That's Serpico.
Hoopa
Serpico Heat is Dairo Pacino classic.
Unk
It's probably the best.
Hoopa
Val Kilmer is really good in it too. They're bank robbers.
Unk
No.
Francis Ellis
Oh, that's Dog Day Afternoon.
Hoopa
Oh, what am I talking about?
Unk
I don't know.
Hoopa
But they rob a bank.
Unk
No. Pacino plays the cop. A cop.
Hoopa
And De Niro is part of a group of like bank robbers and robbers.
Unk
Do they rob a bank?
Hoopa
Am I crazy?
Francis Ellis
So you didn't see. You haven't seen.
Hoopa
Don't they go to the scene in downtown LA? They like go in when they have the AR15s and stuff like that.
Unk
Now I'm thinking of the town.
Hoopa
They rob a bank.
Unk
Interesting.
Francis Ellis
Now I'm thinking of Point Break.
Hoopa
Wow. You know the words of the movie but can't remember the plot.
Unk
I've never seen it. No, I've kidding.
Francis Ellis
Just went to the IMDb page and read the famous quote from Straight Quotes from Heat.
Hoopa
It's like that famous quote from Heat. No banks here.
Francis Ellis
I would never rob a bank personally.
Hoopa
We're not going to touch the banks for the next hour and a half.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. The minimalists. I feel like that was like a big trend when like bacon was a big trend.
Unk
Oh, yeah.
Francis Ellis
You know what I mean? Like people in like 2012 were like super into minimalism.
Unk
Bacon's out in a big way.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
I was about to say something nasty about bacon, but it's that it was never. I would. It was never should have been in. I could never should have got the bacon in.
Unk
Bacon with breakfast. 10 out of 10 bacon. Any other time of the day, 5 out of 10.
Hoopa
Okay. I don't know. I'm not a big bacon guy, but I saw something yesterday. I was looking up things that I could eat for lunch at work.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
And I looked up how to order an alligator.
Unk
Okay.
Hoopa
To eat.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
And I found a store in Louisiana that will sell you a 25 pound alligator that is wrapped in bacon. Oh. And then stuffed with crab cakes.
Unk
Oh, that is so bad. That should be illegal.
Hoopa
And the way they present it, they keep the like armory skin on for the head.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
And then it's just the meat through the body.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
It looked like the most revolting thing. I want to show. I'll find it. I'll show you.
Francis Ellis
Have you had gator?
Hoopa
I have.
Francis Ellis
Did you like it?
Hoopa
It's not bad. Tastes like chicken.
Francis Ellis
Usually it's like deep fried and it's like balled up and it's not. Not great. But I. We had it sauteed the last time we were In Louisiana. And it was like a revelation.
Hoopa
Yep.
Unk
I hate any meat that is described as. It tastes like chicken. That's not chicken. Because then you're just like.
Hoopa
What about rabbit? Rabbit tastes like chicken, but it's really good.
Unk
Nasty.
Hoopa
Come on. You wouldn't eat a rabbit. No, rabbit's great.
Unk
I'll eat a chicken if I want to taste chicken. I don't need to eat. Need to eat a hippopotamus. I'm fine with just chicken.
Francis Ellis
Rabbit's perfect. Rabbits. Rabbits are cuddly but like stupid.
Unk
What about rabbits also just die? You know, rabbits just die out of.
Francis Ellis
Fright all the time. Yeah, they just like.
Unk
You could they just turn a corner and just die? Yeah, because they just get scared.
Hoopa
Really.
Unk
Just. They just get scared super easily and just die.
Francis Ellis
They also pass out too. Pass out alive just because they're. They're so spookable.
Hoopa
Yeah. Not a. Not a particularly evolved species, perhaps, but so damn cute.
Unk
Like.
Francis Ellis
Like, cows are cute but smart. Rabbits are cute but dumb as hell.
Unk
Are cows smart?
Francis Ellis
Super smart and like very emotionally intelligent. Have you ever looked into a cow's eye?
Unk
Well, I know that they're very emotionally intelligent. They have to have a friend.
Francis Ellis
Have you ever gone. Have you ever gone forehead to forehead with a cow?
Unk
No, I can't say I have.
Francis Ellis
Have you ever seen cows listen to a troubadour or someone playing. Oh, yeah, trumpet or something like that? Saxophone or playing with bouncy ball?
Unk
Oh, yeah.
Francis Ellis
Cows have so much intelligence and emotional intelligence. That's why they're so damn tasty.
Hoopa
One time I took mushrooms and I went under the electrified fence of a farmer's pasture and walked among the cows and it was a transcendent experience.
Unk
Last year I walked him on the cows.
Hoopa
Nothing, nothing on that. You want to just shift it because that was a pretty, you know, big admission from me.
Unk
I know. And then I was going to just come in and say, I probably walked. I think I walked a lot more cows than you.
Hoopa
Okay, great. Let's compete.
Unk
I was going to compete.
Hoopa
Tell me about your cow experience.
Unk
Thousands where in Wyoming, we, We were walking to the river and we had to cut through this person's farm.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
And there was a. There was a. Like a cattle trade that went down while we were walking through. 18 wheelers start pulling up and just thousands of cows are just getting off and just running around.
Francis Ellis
Was it nice?
Unk
It's horrifying.
Francis Ellis
Were there any longhorns? Was there any bulls? Yeah, so there were bulls too.
Unk
Big ass, fucking like the size of a tank.
Francis Ellis
I mean, the bulls will kill you.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
Why don't you take your coat off now?
Francis Ellis
Stay a while.
Unk
Why would I do that?
Hoopa
You're making me hot.
Unk
It's actually, like, not too bad in here. It's a little chilly, almost. No, it's not.
Guest or Background Vocalist
What?
Francis Ellis
Did you have any revelations? I feel like I was talking about that this weekend. That cows are like a couple magic mushrooms away from being able to talk to us.
Hoopa
Yeah. I definitely felt as though there was some communication, and those are definitely the moments where I'm like, I should not be living in a city.
Unk
Oh, yeah, of course.
Hoopa
It wears off, and you're like, all right, back to, you know, ordering seamless.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
Can't wait for my pasta to arrive.
Unk
Lukewarm right now is the time of year where New York starts getting dark.
Francis Ellis
It's bad.
Unk
Sad.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, it's sad. It's. Or it's just cloudy and. Yeah, like, cloudy and, like, violently cold.
Unk
Something about when they got rid of the scaffolding outside of this building. It just brought the vibes around here down a lot.
Francis Ellis
I think you're the only person that thinks that.
Unk
Really?
Francis Ellis
I feel like this scaffolding is.
Unk
Oh, I feel like this block's got a whole new energy to it.
Francis Ellis
You're saying the homeless. Busy homeless. Everything in general.
Unk
Just in general.
Francis Ellis
I've never seen someone like scaffolding.
Unk
I think the scaffolding sort of protected us for a while.
Francis Ellis
Not want to talk about your fucking cows and your mushrooms.
Hoopa
That's okay.
Unk
You brought it up. Oh, no, I didn't know I brought it up. I brought it up.
Hoopa
You. How does that happen? How does that happen?
Unk
Still waking up?
Hoopa
No, but there are a lot of moments like that where it's a matter of seconds and you have completely rewritten what happened.
Unk
It's called defense.
Hoopa
Defense.
Unk
Yeah. So always got to stay on defense.
Hoopa
What was the thing where you. I said San Diego. I watched this clip, like, 10 times to make sure I wasn't wrong, and I said san Diego, and you went, san Diego, you mean? And I was like, what? You're like, well, you said San Francisco. I was like, did I? And I mean, it's there. It's on tape.
Francis Ellis
And.
Hoopa
And we just accepted your version, I think.
Unk
I'm. I don't know. I really. I don't know why I do that. I couldn't tell you.
Francis Ellis
Is it because, like. I mean, that is what gaslighting is?
Unk
I think it's. Well, no, that is not what gaslighting is.
Hoopa
And now you're doing it Again, it is.
Unk
No, that's gaslighting.
Hoopa
You're convincing me that my version of events which.
Unk
You're gaslighting me.
Hoopa
Oh, get the out of here. Everyone knows that when you accuse someone of gaslighting, the first person to say it wins. Yeah, yeah.
Unk
You can't. You can gaslight whoever spit it, lit it.
Hoopa
That.
Francis Ellis
That's called.
Unk
That's called a mistake, not gaslighting.
Francis Ellis
When you try to convince the person that's the lighting of the gas.
Hoopa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Francis Ellis
When you just make the mistake.
Unk
You're the king of lighting the gas. Well, no, no, you're always lighting the gas.
Francis Ellis
I start fires. I don't like gas.
Unk
You like gas. You're fucking arson. You have a problem with arson. You have an addiction to arson.
Hoopa
An arsonist.
Unk
Yeah, that's not true.
Francis Ellis
That's not true. I do like a small fire from time to time, but that's just. It keeps me warm in the wintry months. There's nothing about that. I just want to. I mean, I feel like you, like, had something to do with him walking with the cows and the mushrooms or something like that, and you're trying to, like, get away from it as fast as possible. Like you were one of the cows or you gave him bad mushrooms or there's something that you're trying to sweep under the rug here.
Unk
No, you got me mixed up with someone else. I won't be gaslighted any further.
Francis Ellis
It is nice to get in that argument.
Hoopa
That story of the original, of where that term came from is an interesting one.
Unk
Of what? Gaslight.
Hoopa
Gaslighting, where that term comes from, it's.
Francis Ellis
Like a play, right?
Hoopa
It's a husband and a wife, and he's perpetually turning down the lights or something. The gas light lamps, and convincing her that it's not getting darker and that she's just imagining it. But meanwhile, he's actually doing it to drive her crazy.
Unk
Yeah, well, was she dumb as hell?
Hoopa
I feel like I'm 65 of that.
Francis Ellis
No, you are right there.
Hoopa
It's there. Right.
Francis Ellis
But there might have been, like, some further nefarious intent that he had.
Hoopa
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there was.
Unk
I mean, that feels like a pretty easy one to, like, avoid or to, like, be like. Yeah, no, it's pitch black in here. I'm not dumb.
Francis Ellis
It was from when women weren't allowed to fucking voice their opinions.
Unk
Yeah, I guess.
Francis Ellis
No, okay. I guess you're right.
Unk
It is just bumping into things, which is weird.
Francis Ellis
You're losing it, honey. Off to the home with you. We're going to need to submit you to a sanatorium.
Unk
Dude.
Hoopa
I.
Unk
Will touch on it briefly because I feel like, you know, people are waiting for me to say something, but I am on a hot streak of a generational streak right now.
Francis Ellis
Gambling run.
Hoopa
I thought you were gonna, like, remember Beef.
Unk
Oh, well, no. Well, yes, but not. Not what I was getting at right then. That wouldn't have been my introduction to beef, but I thought I was like.
Hoopa
This is a nice moment. I know. I will touch on it briefly because I know people are expecting me to weigh in. Like, I knew. That's why I thought you were going. No, no.
Unk
We can talk about beef, obviously.
Hoopa
No, no, no. I'll let you finish, but first.
Unk
Well, we could do beef now if we want to talk about that.
Hoopa
This is.
Unk
Now then get into my.
Hoopa
And the irony here is you cut into my cow story. So there's a lot of layers there. A lot of layers of irony.
Unk
Yeah. I mean, well, the beef stuff was obviously tragic.
Hoopa
We want to hear about your gambling stuff first.
Unk
Not that easy of a transition there, but not as easy of a. Not as fluid as of a transition as I would have hoped.
Francis Ellis
You are pro, though, so.
Unk
But my God, Tucker Craft. Well, Tucker Craft was Sunday night.
Francis Ellis
Tucker Craft, first touchdown. Tucker Craft, two touchdowns. Brought you out of the darkness.
Unk
Tucker craft. Tucker Craft, two TDs. Travis Kelsey, first TD. Tucker Craft, first TD.
Francis Ellis
And then you're a sprinkler.
Hoopa
You're really sprinkling, huh?
Unk
Not really, to be honest.
Hoopa
Those are such random bets.
Unk
I actually, surprisingly didn't lose. I lost. I lost three bets last night, but I won. I won't say, because then I guess, yeah, I am a sprinkler. I placed a lot of bets yesterday, but I won on Monday Night Football and Sunday night.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, that was Jerry's. I mean, if you're. You've been spending a lot of time with Jerry. He's a sprinkler.
Unk
Jerry's a big sprinkler.
Hoopa
Jerry's hitting 28, 000 parlays. I don't understand. Like, is he just. I asked him how much his man alive.
Francis Ellis
No, but I asked him how much he spends on. So it's like 200 ish dollars a bet. I asked him how much he spends on a Sunday, then he said, like $2500.
Unk
Okay, so it's like Jerry told you that.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. So it's like 12, 200 parlays.
Unk
Yeah, he was lying through his teeth.
Hoopa
How many did he tell you?
Unk
Jerry's showed me his bets. It's more than 200 a bed.
Francis Ellis
I'm saying for the parlays.
Unk
Yeah, I'm saying for the parlays too. I don't know. Bet.
Francis Ellis
Well then $2500 total of parlays for what?
Unk
The 1pm games.
Hoopa
I love it.
Unk
I don't think Jerry would have any problem talking about that.
Hoopa
Well, he told me for jugulars today. I love it.
Francis Ellis
He told me one thing and now you're saying that he said another thing. Why wouldn't you let his version of the truth be the version that goes out? And why would you assume that he wouldn't mind saying?
Unk
Because he's. He posts his bets all the time. Jerry's. Jerry showed me a bet that he placed on UNC game one of the college season and it was a lot. It would have been a lot of twelve hundred dollars parlays mixed into one straight bet that lost.
Francis Ellis
He just needs a big. He needs the adrenaline. The adrenaline is great for him.
Unk
Of course. Yeah. He told me it was cracker that.
Francis Ellis
I think he's very open about. And this is way better than crack.
Unk
Oh, big time.
Francis Ellis
But I mean what he really. His next pivot has to be between twelve hundred dollars parlays and God. That has to be.
Unk
That's true. God needs to be introduced.
Francis Ellis
God has to be the other. The other factor in the parlays. Have you been hitting church time to time.
Unk
When was the last time you were in?
Francis Ellis
I wasn't in this weekend, but I was in the weekend before.
Unk
Really?
Francis Ellis
Of course.
Unk
You go in Brooklyn?
Francis Ellis
Yeah, right up the block for myself. Bvm.
Unk
It's great. Great church.
Francis Ellis
A great church. They do have an Indian, one of the priests. Indian. And really a little harder to understand. But I pick up everything he's saying. Indian.
Unk
Like. Like, like Indian from India.
Francis Ellis
No, he's Navajo.
Hoopa
When. When would we have used that anymore?
Unk
Native American.
Hoopa
It's not. You know, I'm not so sure where.
Unk
We have people you ever need to.
Hoopa
By that from this point on in history, I don't think we ever need to clarify which type of Indian. We're talking a reading from Paul's.
Unk
You guys never played like Cowboys and Indians growing up.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unk
And then they now it's.
Hoopa
Branded to Native Americans and then they rebranded again to first peoples.
Francis Ellis
Well, if you read Howard now they.
Hoopa
Are known as HBO Max.
Francis Ellis
Howard. Zinn says should call them American Indians.
Unk
I like that you guys come into the equation.
Francis Ellis
Cuz that's where they were trying to get To. They thought, if we fly this way, if we boat this way, we're going to run into India. We ran into the United States.
Hoopa
Yeah. They thought they had landed in India. That's what they were searching for.
Unk
Interesting.
Francis Ellis
And they're like, these people have the same complexion.
Unk
Yeah. Not quite, though.
Hoopa
Do you know this?
Unk
Probably not.
Hoopa
The French word for turkey is dand. D. I think it's D apostrophe I N D E, which means of India.
Unk
Really?
Hoopa
I N D E is. I think is India. And I think that has to do with the fact that the original Thanksgiving or something, again, was with the eight. Turkey with the native peoples.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
What. What foods are native? What, like, livestock are native to. Because I feel like turkey wasn't native to their. Chicken aren't like. I feel like. I mean, they didn't even have Nando's still, you know, cows, maybe Highland cows. Highland cows. That's a good one.
Hoopa
Shetland ponies.
Unk
Except I think Highland cows might be from Canada. Am I wrong about.
Hoopa
I would have thought Scotland.
Unk
Scotland.
Hoopa
Yeah. Could be the Highlands of Scotland, maybe.
Unk
Probably.
Hoopa
Mm. Yeah. There you go.
Unk
Spot on.
Francis Ellis
Spot on. So, yeah, they're probably just eating duck and, like.
Unk
Typical. That's typical.
Francis Ellis
Tip of the cap or type of.
Hoopa
The atypical for me to be right and you to not immediately try to convince for me to tip it wrong. Tip the cow. Tippable.
Francis Ellis
It's very tippy.
Unk
That's what they say in the Call of Duty scene.
Hoopa
Yeah. You've been using that lately.
Unk
Oh, yeah.
Hoopa
I like that.
Unk
I'm trying to bring the Call of Duty lingo into the real world.
Hoopa
As you should. Yeah, yeah.
Francis Ellis
But you sound a little uncish, honestly.
Hoopa
Okay, quick.
Unk
Why saying tippy?
Hoopa
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
You're just kind of forcing it.
Hoopa
A quick. A quick tip and removal of the cap to our. Our pal Beef.
Unk
Yes.
Hoopa
I just want to tell a story. A quick story about him, which I think, you know, we don't have to go long on this, but we should.
Francis Ellis
Say that Beef, member of the Foreplay family, tragically passed away this weekend.
Hoopa
That's right. If you don't know that our friend Beef passed away this weekend.
Francis Ellis
Barstool employee. The nicest dude ever.
Hoopa
Yeah. And it was very sort of upsetting yesterday, and now we're. Now I want to just remember him and I. And I want to share one story because, Beef, we went to Macklemore in Georgia. Northwest Georgia.
Unk
I didn't know that.
Hoopa
Yeah. And it was me, Beef, Riggs, Frankie, Trent, and Jerry. The six of us went there and they had opened a new golf course that we were to play. And it was a walking only golf course. And it was a hike. It was so mountainous. I mean, truly, you know me, I'm ready for war.
Francis Ellis
Of course.
Hoopa
Best shape of my life.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
We walked that course. End of the day, I was like, I can't move, really. I was. My feet were killing me, my joints, everything hurt. I felt like we'd, you know, 18. Yeah, we played just 18 holes, but we walked.
Unk
18 is not easy.
Hoopa
No, it's not. And it was. It was like every hole would go up a step ladder and then the next one would come down and go back up. I mean, it was really probably the single most arduous walking round of golf I've ever played. And beef, there were no carts. And beef is a, you know, it was a big boy. Yeah, there's no. There's no way around it. And he hung in there, man.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
I'll tell you what, you know, he. We kept checking in on him and he just slowly but surely made his way along. Didn't hold us back. Never complained once. It's hard to describe how hard this was. And he made it. And it was. I was so impressed that this guy who, you know, he's not the fastest guy, but just slow and steady, made it to the end, had a great time. And then two days later, we had to go back and play it again. Yeah, okay. And we were all like, no, we need to figure something out. And they gave Beef a utility cart. Yeah, like, one that the groundskeepers would use.
Unk
Those things fly.
Hoopa
They fly. And they gave him one to drive himself around in. And initially, you know, it was definitely like a little bit separating, I would say. Like, we were all walking up the fairways and he was riding and. And he kind of had to stay on the cart path, too, so we wouldn't be that close to him. But after two or three holes, you know, he started offering us rides.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
And then by the end of it, we were all just riding in his cart together.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Six guys.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
And it was like he was this, you know, school bus driver and.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
The chauffeur.
Hoopa
We were very grateful to him.
Francis Ellis
Just piling on a golf course is a cart is hilarious.
Hoopa
When we would go to dinners at these places, you know, I was never really sure, especially in the early nights, if we should be drinking because it's a work trip and, you know, I guess people, like, nobody really wanted to be the first person to be like, yeah, I'll have a martini. Yeah, and, you know, you'd be waiting and feeling out the room and. And some guys would be like, I'll have a seltzer or whatever, and it get to beef. And he'd be like, double Jack and Co. And then I'd wait to go after him, and I'd be like, great, I'm going to have a Manhattan. And he would just open the floodgates and set the tone. And all of a sudden, we'd be having a much better time as a result of him.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
That's so nice. That's sick.
Hoopa
It was great.
Francis Ellis
You got to drink on the work trips.
Hoopa
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't realize how much I liked him. This is one of those weird things I said in my tweet. He snuck up on me. He just found his way into my heart, and I was very fond of him. I'm very excited for people to watch him in the Internet Invitational, and I'm going to miss him in a big way. And I don't know. That's all I have to say on that. But I was very sad yesterday and. Yeah, yeah.
Francis Ellis
You spent a lot of time with him.
Hoopa
I did, yeah.
Francis Ellis
Like, I only met him a couple times, but he's so nice. But I definitely feel for the people who spent a ton of time with him. That makes it. It's always harder to lose someone that you know intimately. And it seems like you guys shared a couple Jack and Cokes through shared straws. Yeah, we laid in, tramped a couple Jack and Cokes. We did, which is nice.
Unk
I got a double, so we can split it.
Francis Ellis
Two singles would have been fine.
Hoopa
Don't drink from the bottom. They didn't shake it properly. Yeah, that's where all. All the. The rum is. Or the Jack.
Francis Ellis
Damn jacket. Double jacket. Coke is a hilarious drink, too. You're getting after it if you're having a double Jack and Coke.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Oh, man.
Hoopa
He was. He was formal. He was a formal guy.
Unk
Very formal.
Francis Ellis
It was the thing about him I saw when people kept on being like, and this is so true, that he was a gentleman. Gentleman, big time.
Hoopa
He had this, like, debonair quality that felt so out of time from Victorian England or something. He was just a man of manners and etiquette and shout out to Frankie.
Francis Ellis
For even noticing that he would doff his cap every time he met someone and making that video, because that is, like, the funniest but also perfect encapsulation.
Unk
Yeah. Video is awesome.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. That's such a funny video.
Unk
Taking the hat off, just great. 75 times over 10 minutes.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
And when I met him, I had to do it. I had to, Dolph.
Hoopa
Absolutely.
Francis Ellis
I had to. I, like, rushed up to him just so I could take my hat off to shake his hand. Yeah, it's so funny. You met him at the Ryder Cup. Ryder, yeah.
Unk
We stayed in the same place together. Me, him, Trent and Jerry.
Hoopa
Nice.
Francis Ellis
That's sick.
Unk
Had me questioning some things he did. No, me.
Hoopa
What do you mean?
Unk
That my rooming was me, Jerry, Beef and Trent.
Hoopa
Why?
Unk
Just a lot of lbs under that roof.
Hoopa
This is the. This is the reinforced house.
Francis Ellis
We got the double wide beds, double.
Hoopa
Wide doors, steel beam running under the.
Francis Ellis
Floor, stock fridge, so you boys won't have to go anywhere.
Hoopa
It was good, though.
Unk
We had a good time.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. That's a murderer's row.
Hoopa
Yeah, that is a good house.
Unk
It was fun. I think we were actually the only two that stayed after it ended, too. And I didn't even know. I don't think either of us knew we were there. It was just me and Beef in the house.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
And then you would randomly just. You heard. Just her would hear someone shuffling around at, like, 7:00pm, like, oh, shit, someone else is in the house.
Hoopa
That doesn't sound like the maid.
Francis Ellis
Just alone together.
Unk
Yeah, because after the Ryder cup, everyone.
Hoopa
Left and you didn't talk to each other.
Unk
We didn't.
Francis Ellis
I thought.
Unk
I thought everyone was gone.
Hoopa
Yeah, but when you heard the shuffling, you didn't go out and be like, oh, hey, Beef.
Unk
No, we talked to each other the next morning when we were both leaving.
Hoopa
Oh, nice.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. That is so nice. What a fucking. What is that? So fucking sad.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Mango sad, too, bro. Mangold's the man.
Unk
Yeah, that was very sad.
Francis Ellis
Mangold.
Unk
Mangold was one time when we were in. When we were in. That was the only time I met him, was when we were in LA for the Super Bowl. And he was supposed to stay in Billy Football's room. And because Billy Football was, like, leaving early and he was like. Big Cat was like, you still stay in Billy Football's room. And we went and did the yak and he came on and he was like. He was like, yeah, I went to Billy's room. It's. He's like, that guy's a slob. Like, place is destroyed. His bed's disgusting. He's like, I don't even know how I'm gonna stay there. And we were all like, yeah, Billy's piece of shit. You know, just all dogging on Bill. And then I get back, we go back to the hotel. And I go into my room and Nick Mangold stuff is all over my room. Big ass suitcase. He's got like. His clothes are everywhere. And I was like, oh, fuck. That was my room.
Francis Ellis
Oh, my God. That's fucking amazing.
Unk
I've still got one of his shirts from his barbecue sauce company. Oh, yeah, yeah, Good barbecue sauce. Check it out.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Shout out to 74. So tough. He'd leave them behind. Four kids. That's brutal.
Unk
Yeah, it's tough.
Hoopa
He. He had. He gave me a bunch of recipes for my big green egg. He was a master griller on the big green egg and taught me how to. Taught me how to do a brisket.
Unk
You still have the green egg?
Hoopa
No, I sold it.
Unk
Oh. Yeah.
Hoopa
I didn't have a place for it anymore upstate.
Unk
You would, though.
Hoopa
I know, but they have a nice. They already had a grill up there for me.
Francis Ellis
He did breakfast with you all the time?
Hoopa
He would come on. Breakfast all the time. And it was a gentle giant, you know, he. It's just one of those guys where you're like. You expect him to be.
Francis Ellis
He's so. No, it was the opposite.
Hoopa
He was just sweet and saw, you know, it was like a Ferdinand type character, I guess, where he just.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, he just would like, talk about your.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Which all. All professional athletes aren't necessarily like that.
Unk
No, especially good ones.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, he was really good.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
Sick.
Francis Ellis
Did you see that story, that Rex Ryan story, talking about him?
Unk
Yeah, I did.
Francis Ellis
That's so funny.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
No, he was like. It was on Hard Knocks. He's like, I'm worried the money might have changed. Mangled. Because it was right after he had gotten a contract extension. He's like, I pull up into the Taco Bell, drive through right in front of me's mango. He got a huge contract extension and just his crushing Taco Bell. So funny. He crushed it on every case. Race too. Or just like any drinking. He was just like down to.
Unk
He got. When we were in la, he was. He had that. He had like a flight that night and he went out to dinner with us and got hammered and then just went straight the airport.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, he was deleting beers. He was. Yeah. Automatic at it.
Unk
Good times, great times.
Francis Ellis
GTS. GTS GTs for the Bros. Very tippy, tippy tipping the scale.
Unk
Tippy all around.
Hoopa
Tippy longstalking.
Francis Ellis
It's crazy because you are. You are going to be unk before you know it, bro.
Unk
Me?
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Unk
What makes you think that?
Francis Ellis
Because of just the way you're using Tippy and the way you're using lingo.
Unk
No, Tippy's. It's going to be big.
Francis Ellis
It's. You're. We're. You're in hoopa's world and you're just living it. You're unk to hoopa and.
Hoopa
No way.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, you are up.
Unk
If I is probably older than me.
Francis Ellis
He's not, bro.
Unk
How old is he?
Francis Ellis
19. He's 19 and he just graduated college. No, he's precocious.
Hoopa
Don't you want to be old, though?
Unk
No.
Hoopa
You've been acting like you do since.
Unk
No, I don't want to be old.
Hoopa
You don't like it when people tell you that you're young.
Unk
Well, I don't like when I'm treated differently because I'm young.
Francis Ellis
Well, when you get old, they'll also treat you differently.
Unk
Yeah, but in, like, a better way.
Hoopa
No, it's not necessarily.
Francis Ellis
They're like, un. Can't tell what's AI, what's not. Unc thinks we're really grilling Pikachus because he saw a sorrow2 video. Are you up on Sora? What? Sorry. Is.
Unk
It's gonna be. That's gonna be gone in the next.
Hoopa
Julio sent me one of him doing, like, a sermon to a whole bunch, like, a million people in an arena.
Francis Ellis
It was a closed. It was like, part of the Pay model for ChatGPT, and then it just became its own app. And when you see videos of, like, Martin Luther King at the barbershop or something like that, and it's supposed to be. You're only allowed to make videos of yourself or your friends with their permission, or people can put their likeness onto Sara so you can use it, but I don't know why the fuck you do that, because people are already framing other people for crimes they're, like, using.
Unk
Yeah, I think it's gonna go away. I don't think that's technology that just everyone can have.
Francis Ellis
Well, it's slop.
Unk
It's slop, but it's also, like, dangerous. It's dangerous and it's. Well, it's slop because it doesn't look good. Like, it still looks shitty.
Francis Ellis
You can tell. But it's getting better. But also it's like. It's like trash. It's not like. It's not like, beautifying the world. Like, oh, the.
Hoopa
The.
Francis Ellis
The. The engineers who make AI are. Are not ethical people. They're like, all bad people. It's an arms race. It's like, it. Literally nobody is like, well, like, let's Consider this. Because if one person takes a chance to consider, then 10 other companies who didn't consider shit are zooming past them. So it's just like abandoned ethics, like, fly ahead and like, let's frame Martin Luther King. It's crazy. Actually. Martin Luther King shot himself.
Unk
It is really bad. I think it's also crazy because it's like that technology's always been around. Like, you've always been able to like deepfake a video, but you had to know how to do it and it would take you the entire day to do.
Francis Ellis
And now it's three minutes.
Unk
Like, you've seen the videos of Quigs editing. Like, the advisors, like, you like, that.
Francis Ellis
Shit takes all day.
Unk
It's not like that technology, it wasn't always a thing where it was like, oh, I could make a deep fake video of Francis in three seconds. I don't think that should be allowed. I think it's going to be pulled back.
Francis Ellis
What do you think of Sam Altman?
Hoopa
Well, have you.
Francis Ellis
Did. Have you deep dove on him yet?
Hoopa
I don't know, man.
Francis Ellis
You gotta read the book on him.
Hoopa
Yeah, I don't know much. I don't know. I don't really have any feelings.
Unk
I just think it's still like, they're still pushing, like, well, you know, AI is gonna. It's gonna cure cancer. They're gonna change the world. And it's like all we've seen still is just like shitty Photoshops. It's not.
Francis Ellis
It's basically the moving pictures in Harry Potter that literally makes. Yeah, yeah. There's no.
Unk
It's dog.
Hoopa
Remind me not to give you the robot picks this weekend.
Unk
I don't want your shitty robot picks.
Hoopa
Oh, yeah, okay.
Unk
I asked for him last night. You wouldn't give me them.
Hoopa
And then I told you that he doesn't.
Unk
I'm the robot. I'm the robot.
Hoopa
Okay. Good luck, brother. You're on your own.
Francis Ellis
It was.
Unk
I don't.
Francis Ellis
I don't. I won't share them.
Unk
I definitely don't want them.
Hoopa
I don't want lost robot.
Francis Ellis
I want. I want them still.
Hoopa
Yeah, of course. Course. He's 12 and 1.
Unk
You're dumbass.
Hoopa
Are we talking about.
Unk
Can't even make a pick on Monday night? 10 point spread.
Hoopa
I don't want to give you more picks. You're doing enough.
Unk
I don't need more picks.
Hoopa
$25 on this guy. First touchdown. $25 on this guy to score.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. That's unethical, what you're doing.
Unk
I have bet. First touchdown. Score probably six times ever. And I hit it two times in a row this weekend.
Hoopa
That's cool.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Hoopa
You're the man.
Unk
KB and Nick. That's, like, you know, that's, like, all they bet. Just first TD and KB's, like, very successful with it.
Hoopa
That's cool.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
No, KB's peppering the board like Jerry.
Unk
No.
Francis Ellis
He's got $20 bills, and he's sprinkling them on the app.
Hoopa
This is a really morbid question, but my mind has been stuck on this since you said Martin Luther King might have shot himself. What is the right way to shoot yourself?
Unk
I think in the head.
Hoopa
Well, okay. You talking this.
Unk
I think any of those ones will get it done. Yeah. All of the above work.
Hoopa
Yeah. So what. What would. What would you do?
Unk
Oh, I wouldn't do it.
Hoopa
Okay. Great answer. Way to play the game, Temple.
Francis Ellis
It's the least. It's like, you can't mess up the angle.
Unk
I don't think you can mess up the angle on any of those. Unless you're, like, insanely lucky. The odds of you messing up the angle on one of those is, like, almost zero percent.
Hoopa
I think they say this, huh?
Unk
If it recoils and then it skims the top of your head. Yes. Right.
Hoopa
This is the most guaranteed, I think. I think this is the most guaranteed.
Unk
Yeah. Probably because your head would just explode, shooting up through.
Hoopa
Up through the brain. But I think that shooting yourself in the heart is a noble way. There's nobility in that.
Francis Ellis
That's how the Japanese do it.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
That's. You're gonna end up, like. You're gonna end up just laying on the ground for four hours, groaning. This was a big mistake. Have you guys ever watched the Kurt Cobain documentary soaked in bleach?
Francis Ellis
No, I have not. But I've learned to. I didn't like Courtney Love already.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
And now I've learned, just through the lore, to dislike her even more because.
Unk
She killed Kurt Cobain.
Francis Ellis
I didn't like just her presentation or her music or her attitude. I didn't like any of that stuff.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
And now. Now that you find out that she drove Kurt Cobain to death.
Unk
No, I don't think she. I think she killed him.
Francis Ellis
Okay. Even worse, by her hand.
Unk
I don't think she actually, like, pulled up to the house and shot Kurt Cobain in the head. I think she probably hired someone to do it.
Hoopa
Oh, wow.
Unk
But there's definitely another man involved.
Francis Ellis
It was O.J. simpson.
Unk
It could have been. Did you see that diagram that Nick.
Francis Ellis
Made that was so Funny.
Guest or Background Vocalist
Yeah.
Unk
With all the sports teams. Best player and then there's like the blank J. And it had bills in it.
Francis Ellis
Something with it. The quarterback threw in the towel and it was the. It was the Browns. Funny, funny job by Nick. Funny ass job by Nick. I was gonna book your spot, Cosme. I'm going to dinner with my firefighter. My cop friend.
Hoopa
Yes.
Francis Ellis
But I went to. I did book Chinese tuxedo instead.
Hoopa
I've never been there.
Francis Ellis
It's awesome.
Hoopa
Is it good?
Francis Ellis
It's so nice.
Hoopa
I went to more fish bar last night.
Francis Ellis
Really?
Hoopa
That was pretty good.
Francis Ellis
Would you get the xeno?
Hoopa
No, my buddy did. I got the dorad Dorado.
Francis Ellis
Dorado?
Hoopa
Yeah. It's pretty good dorado.
Unk
Really?
Francis Ellis
You don't know the dorado? Is that your fisherman?
Unk
Dorado is one of my favorite foods. One of my favorite dishes.
Hoopa
Cousin of the mahi Mahi.
Unk
Yeah, of course, of course.
Francis Ellis
Never seen a dorado in your life.
Unk
I love a dora.
Francis Ellis
What I have realized is we have been low key training a perfect AI model with like the. The frequency with which we talk about the same topics. If someone wanted to like AI this show, like we have, we touch on like, that's probably true. Planes, like so often that they know all of our perspectives and voices on it. That is so brutal. Unfortunately, Sam Altman has my permission to do nothing.
Unk
True.
Francis Ellis
That scumbag pig, didn't he? I think he had someone killed too. Probably into that.
Hoopa
Okay.
Francis Ellis
Someone. There was like a confrontation on a podcast about Sam Altman having someone killed.
Unk
He was on the podcast?
Francis Ellis
I think so.
Unk
That's got to be a tough podcast. Sitting down. They're like, did you murder that guy?
Francis Ellis
I don't want to talk about it.
Unk
Guys. We can't talk. I can't have this be in really putting me on the spot.
Francis Ellis
We have to cut this. But Chinese tuxedos at the end of a street in Chinatown. Yeah, one of the winding streets in Chinatown. And it's right by this theater where in the early 1900s there was a shootout by two Chinese gangs at the front and the back of the theater. So they shot across a theater full of pedestrians, theater goers. And they say that if you go down that street on certain nights, you could still hear the gunshots.
Hoopa
No way.
Unk
Really?
Francis Ellis
A spooky story for Halloween.
Unk
That is cool. I like that.
Hoopa
You sure that's not the engines backfiring from all the doordash?
Francis Ellis
You know, they rides bikes getting out.
Unk
With low main and I think I might be out on doordash all together.
Hoopa
Why Lo Mein's Thai food.
Unk
Lo Mein?
Hoopa
No, Lo Mein's Chinese. Yeah, I'm thinking of Pad Thai.
Unk
What am I. Yeah, Lo Mein.
Hoopa
Is my brain not working that well today?
Francis Ellis
It's just different Neuters.
Unk
You know, we've all had a. We've all had a crazy 24, and I think some of us are kind of just you know, glancing over at the door, making sure no one's coming through.
Francis Ellis
We have a chair wedged against there. It looked like we. The Capitol got stormed and all the senators were in a room. We just have benches across the door, just guns pointed at the door.
Hoopa
He's out there with a pimp chalice glued to the door, listening.
Unk
We've got. We've got Frank the Tank just leaning up against the door.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Hold Hodor. I never watched Game of Thrones, but I. I believe that Hodor held a door.
Unk
You're asking the wrong guy. Never seen it either.
Francis Ellis
Me neither.
Unk
I've heard it's fucking phenomenal, but I don't know if I got it in me.
Francis Ellis
I don't have it in me. Dragons just don't. Do not do it for me.
Unk
I don't know. I can't even say that because it's like everyone says, it's so fucking good. You've seen it, obviously. How many times? Five.
Hoopa
Just once.
Unk
Really?
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
That's surprising.
Francis Ellis
He had a famous series that accompanied it.
Unk
Oh, yeah.
Francis Ellis
Sunday. A Game of Thrones day. I'm excited.
Hoopa
That was before your time.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
You would have been in. In high school.
Francis Ellis
You wouldn't have got that.
Hoopa
Probably you're too Young to understand 2018. 2019 something. 2019. You were in high school? That's crazy.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
Crazy how time flies like that.
Francis Ellis
College football season is in full swing, which means tailgates, cheering crowds, and the excitement of being in the stands before kickout are all happening too. You ever find yourself at a tailgate and decide to grab tickets last minute? Actually, Sass, this happened when me and you were at the Eagles game. Do you remember that? We shot that video at the Eagles game. And we were about to go, and we didn't go to the game, but we were right there the entire time. And this is pre game time days, so we could have easily gone in there.
Unk
Absolutely. Well, you know, I just. I only say that because I just don't know if we want to go to a Penn State game these days.
Francis Ellis
Obviously not.
Unk
They're bums.
Hoopa
Where the fuck they're papering the audience.
Unk
They literally are.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. It's bad. No one wants to do that. No tips for them. The least tippy squad.
Unk
But if we did want to go to Penn State at Rutgers this weekend, they're giving them out. They're giving them away.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Unk
90 bones on the. On the 50 yard line. Yeah.

Hoopa
Yes. Oh. I have now booked in New Zealand in three separate spots. Full day guided fly fishing.
Unk
Really?
Hoopa
For just me, me and a guide.
Unk
That's gonna be so fun.
Hoopa
In three different places. Apparently it's really hard over there. I'm concerned it's probably going to be hard.
Unk
But if you have a guide, they'll, they'll set you up.
Hoopa
I mean it's, it's all sight fishing and the water is so crystal clear that the fish can see you and get very spooked. And there are not that many of them because it's all wild. None of it's stocked.
Unk
Yeah, it'll be fine.
Francis Ellis
But I've never seen a human before. Some of those fish maybe not Rocky head asses.
Unk
Your guide's probably going to be the man.
Hoopa
I know. Yeah, I want.
Unk
You're going to Salty Kiwis.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
He's probably going to be a stunner.
Hoopa
Yeah. I'm going, I'm going fishing on Christmas Day.
Unk
That's awesome.
Hoopa
From being across the world from my family.
Unk
Well, it's gonna. You're not gonna feel as lonely when you hook into like a 40 inch rainbow trout.
Hoopa
I know, I know.
Unk
It's gonna destroy fishing for you. You're never gonna be able to go fishing in America, like fresh water and be like, that was great. They don't. The fish that they have in New Zealand, like, they're literally like they just aren't as big here.
Francis Ellis
You're gonna be a big game half the size. You're like gonna be fishing how the indigenous.
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
Fish. Yeah.

But I think the ones that I catch, the, the difference is I think that you catch more fish here. They say that in you know, Wyoming, you. You land whatever, 12 to 15 a day.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
Probably over there. You'll walk miles and. And maybe cast at one.
Unk
Yeah. It's gonna be like bone fishing. That's very similar to bone fishing. You just walk on the flats and you're looking for shadows, and then you just cast and hope it works out.
Francis Ellis

Francis Ellis
Just eating a lot.
Unk
Francis couldn't be here tonight, so I'm.
Francis Ellis
Gonna have the Seafood Tower in front of you guys. That would play in Brooklyn.

Hoopa
I hate a really good plan for next week.
Unk
Alligator.
Hoopa
Really good. No, I couldn't do alligator. Repulsed me.
Unk
Going back to the bacon topic, we were. When I was at Focus this weekend, they were bringing out, like, they bring out all the meats.
Francis Ellis
Bacon's all right.
Hoopa
Are you. Are you trying to explain Fogo de Chow to me as if I don't know what it is or have Never been.
Unk
No, I'm just saying they bring out all the meat.
Hoopa
They bring it out.
Unk
They're bringing out the meat. And you know, I'm saying yes to everything because I've never been. So I'm like, yeah, I'll take it all.
Guest or Background Vocalist
All.
Unk
I don't know how long this is going to go on. I didn't know that. It was just a never ending flow.
Francis Ellis
They were going to revoke the meat.
Unk
Yeah, exactly. So I was saying yes to everything. And then I got, I got like steak and chicken wrapped in bacon and that. It, it ruined my night. It ruined the night for me.
Hoopa
That's too much.
Unk
It was, it set me over and. And then I had to, I had to miss out on the New York strip.
Hoopa
Oh, buddy, why would you go with.
Unk
This chicken covered in bacon served on a salt block, Like a big ass block of salt.
Hoopa
I love it.
Unk
But I was too full.
Francis Ellis
You two pump chumped yourself. I did. You came as soon as you entered.
Unk
Who the fuck wants chicken when they're bringing out New York strip on a salt block?
Hoopa
You earlier in the episode said that you only want chicken.
Unk
I only want chicken if it's gonna be chicken, alligator or like ostrich eggs. That's, that's another one that I've heard people be like, ostrich. You ever see ostrich eggs like those big ass. Yeah, they're cool. Some people eat and they're like, yeah, it just tastes like chicken. And it's like, well that's disgusting.
Francis Ellis
Why is it disgusting? It's disgusting to eat a chicken egg.
Unk
Because why would you want an egg that tastes like chicken?
Francis Ellis
Because it's an egg.
Unk
Wouldn't you want your egg to taste like egg?
Francis Ellis
Yeah, it tastes like egg. It tastes like a chicken's egg.
Hoopa
If you really think about it, in a way, egg does taste of chicken.
Unk
But we're talking about ostrich. There's no chicken in ostrich.
Hoopa
No, but it's a flightless bird.
Unk
Is it?
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
I think they can get up there.
Hoopa
No, they can't.
Unk
10Ft. No, I think they can do like. You know how chickens can give a good burst?
Hoopa
You are dead wrong if you think an ostrich can get 10ft in the air. They can't be by jumping.
Francis Ellis
They're ground bound.
Hoopa
They run 40 miles an hour.
Unk
They'll kill you.
Francis Ellis
They have like.
Hoopa
You can't.
Unk
You're telling me that they can't run 40 and you know, just let the wings go for like a minute?
Hoopa
No, they got little out. They Got little alligator arm wings. They don't have. Have wings that are.
Unk
Chickens can get up there. Chickens can probably get 10ft.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, 10ft, but like, just 10ft. They're just like.
Unk
And they're flailing. Well, I'm not sure I. I haven't confirmed or denied the ostrich rumors, but.
Francis Ellis
Chickens can definitely get 10ft.
Unk
Chickens can get 10ft, like, just to.
Francis Ellis
Avoid, like, the farm dog that's running around.
Unk
Coyotes.
Hoopa
They can't fly.
Francis Ellis
Huh?
Hoopa
They cannot fly.
Unk
Can make lies.
Hoopa
Can ostriches.
Francis Ellis
If they run up to a cliff.
Unk
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
They could do, like, a wingsuit situation.
Hoopa
They fly at all because their bodies are too heavy and their wings are too small for flight. But they're super fast.
Unk
What a.
Francis Ellis
What a shitty existence.
Unk
A bird that can't fly have wings, and you just can't do anything with them.
Hoopa
They use their wings for balance while running at high speeds. They run the way that the children from that movie Weapons run.
Unk
Yeah. They do the Naruto run. Yeah, yeah.
Francis Ellis
Arms. It's the arms out behind you. Anime.
Hoopa
That's what it.
Unk
The weapons thing is.

One of the most famous anime characters.
Unk
You should get into anime.
Hoopa
Can't.
Unk
Have you tried?
Francis Ellis
No, just watch Akira.
Unk
You're doing. You're doing that thing again.
Hoopa
Air Bender. I watched Air Bender.
Unk
That's not. Doesn't count.
Hoopa
Why not?
Unk
You gotta watch, like, Dragon Ball Z or Death Note.
Hoopa
Oh, come on now.
Unk
I think you would like Death Note.
Hoopa
Just not a fan.
Unk
I'm not a fan either. I don't like the inner monologue.
Francis Ellis
No, it was a dark city.
Unk
Yeah. Roan's drinking a cup of coffee today. It does.
Francis Ellis
Typical.
Unk
But there are some people that the only thing they watch is anime. Anime?
Hoopa

Francis Ellis
Black people.
Unk
Black people and Asian people.
Francis Ellis
Black bros love anime.
Hoopa

Francis Ellis
And it's not even just, like, black nerds.
Unk
No, it's all black.
Francis Ellis
It's gangsters.
Unk
Yeah.
Hoopa
By the way, I have fallen in love with a character from history, and I don't know where this came from.
Francis Ellis
Molly Pitcher.
Hoopa
Kate Bates.
Francis Ellis
Let's look her up.
Hoopa
No. Excuse me. Kate Chase. What am I saying? Kate Chase. Daughter of Salmon P. Chase, who I think was Secretary of the Treasury.
Unk
Kate Chase.
Francis Ellis
Bank.
Hoopa
Okay. Kate Chase.
Francis Ellis
I see the vision.
Hoopa
She was like the original influencer. Should have been 1850. 1860.
Francis Ellis
You don't see it.
Unk
She's a drawing.
Hoopa
You just told me how much I didn't watch fucking anime, dude.
Unk
Well, I didn't say you had to fall in love with anime.
Hoopa
Everybody fell in love with her.
Unk
With her.
Hoopa
Yeah. She was the most elegant. They said that her neck was long. She was the first one have a little bit of an ostrich to make being lean fashionable.
Unk
Really?
Hoopa
Yeah.
Unk
Looks like she's already got a man.
Hoopa
She was. She was a. She ran all these soirees and parties in. In the scene in Washington D.C. and she was a just a true socialite cosmopolitan woman.
Unk
Was she like 13?
Francis Ellis
She got married at 23 to William Sprague and then got divorced from Williams Frog at.
Hoopa
He was the governor of New Jersey. And it was believed that she only married him so that she could get access to his unbelievable wealth to potentially bolster her father for her father's run for the presidency after Lincoln.
Francis Ellis
Oh, but she died in poverty.
Hoopa
Well, I don't. I haven't gotten that far.
Unk
She only lived for 59 years.
Francis Ellis
1899.
Hoopa
There's still a chance here she had.
Francis Ellis
Bright's disease and she died of impoverish. But on her deathbed, the New York Times wrote that the homage of the most eminent men in the country was hers. Men were lusting, I think is what they think.
Unk
That's what they mean.
Francis Ellis
They're paying heavy homage.
Hoopa
Yes. No, I'm. I'm one of many.
Francis Ellis
That is a come tribute. That's the cum tribute I have.
Hoopa
I am one of many who. I have fallen under the spell of Kate Chase. Kate Chase.
Unk
Where did you find out about Kate Chase?
Hoopa
In this book I'm reading Team of Rivals.
Unk
Team of Rivals. Marvel rivals.
Hoopa
I'm 460 pages in.
Unk
Jesus.
Hoopa
It's 800.
Unk
That's got a lot of Kate Chase left.
Hoopa
Wow. Let's hope so.
Francis Ellis
She tried to get her dad to run for president and she would have become the first lady if so.
Hoopa
Well, all his wives died. He was married three times and they all died like one after another real quick.
Unk
Yeah, it was probably Kate Chase. This is worse than anime. This is freak. First lady's his daughter.
Hoopa
They had a.
Francis Ellis
They did have a very 180 year old.
Unk
Yeah, I'm sure they did have a close relationship.
Hoopa
They were. No, I don't think they were Kate.
Unk
Because you're only 460 pages in it. Yeah, it's gonna be a long back. 340.
Hoopa
Can we stop talking? Can we end this? I don't want to do this anymore.
Francis Ellis
Yep.
Hoopa
Not today.
Unk
You don't want to talk about Kate Chase?
Hoopa
I don't want to do any. I don't want to do any more.
Francis Ellis
Of this, guys. See you guys next week.
Unk
Have we been going for enough time?
Hoopa
I think we have gone for far too long.
Francis Ellis
I was going to give you a hard time about Kate Chase. I think that she seems fly as hell.
Unk
I think she seems like a good girl.
Francis Ellis
I'm gonna put her in about Sora. Pound off of her.
Unk
Can't wait to see what she's capable of on Sora.
Francis Ellis
You should. I mean, this is the perfect application. She's in the public domain and you have the means to bring her back to life.
Unk
I might bounce her around, see what grock has to do with her.
Francis Ellis
Pass her around. Tip drill from app to app, from AI to AI.
Unk
All right, cool. Thank you guys for listening. We'll be back on Tuesday.
