Ron
The best thing that we are sponsored that barstool does is Phoenix.
Dave
Start there.
Francis Ellis
And no. And no bull. It's the only shoes that I wear outside of today. I wear no bulls every single day.
Ron
It's that. That's an old one, isn't it?
Francis Ellis
It's brand new.
Dave
Oh, they were at. No, they were doing. They did the writer cup with us.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was thinking of.
Francis Ellis
Tripoli, probably.
Ron
You know it's new for you.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, yeah, I just got on board and I'm pretty psyched about it. Thank you guys for having me super fired up about it. My nobles. I wore some nobles with a suit this past weekend. Really?
Ron
Yeah. That's class.
Francis Ellis
Just around the house for the derby.
Dave
Damn.
Francis Ellis
How was the flight? You were with Bert. Yeah, yeah, of course. Of course.
Dave
Yeah, I was in San Francisco all weekend. And then.
Francis Ellis
Fresh.
Dave
Well, no, I was doing my own shows and then I got up, I got to the airport to drop off my rental car and I pulled all the way up to the stop sign and got out of my car. In fact, they scanned the barcode. Oh, yeah, you're done. And then Brandon called me because he Runs my Instagram was like, you just got a message from Bert Kreischer asking if you were in San Francisco.
Ron
Damn.
Dave
And so then I got his. Bert's number, and I was like, what's up? I'm heading out. And he's like, let me know if you want to hop on the show tonight. So I got back in the car.
Ron
And they let you take the car?
Dave
They didn't know.
Ron
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Dave
And I got to the place where you like your agreement to them, and you're like. And the guy was like, wait a minute. It says that you return this. And I was like, that seems to be a glitch. What do you mean?
Ron
How would I have returned it if I'm in it?
Dave
I was told. Yeah, I was like. I was told I had until the end of the night. And they were like, well, technically you do, but okay, man. They figured it out. But get this. I somehow, because of that, I was now on the. The rental. The return area is not on the same floor of the parking garage at SFO as the exit the alum. I was on Alamo.
Francis Ellis
So you had to jump it.
Dave
I had to go to. They were like, you need to go exit on a different floor where the Alamo office is. And I was like, okay. And he go. He goes, go out here, go right and then go right. And I did. And I got a little confused. No, keep paying attention.
Ron
Well, I don't know what that was.
Dave
Like, Wiffle ball sitting up at attention.
Francis Ellis
I'm getting engaged. I'm leaning.
Ron
Bunch of toys just fell out of Rhone's pockets.
Francis Ellis
I'm having a good time, bro.
Dave
This is the closest I've ever come in my entire life to driving the wrong way across the metal spikes.
Ron
Oh, that would have been bad.
Francis Ellis
Smashed out.
Dave
And the guy got out of his little booth and he goes, no, no. Because I was like, 150 yards away. He's like, no, no, no, no. Next ride. Next ride. And I gotta tell you, I really wanted.
Ron
Oh, yeah, it would have been awesome.
Dave
I wanted to just. I wondered if my. My tires would, like, hiss quietly or explode.
Ron
No, I think it's a dramatic.
Francis Ellis
I think it'd be like.
Dave
Yeah, it's such a menacing threat.
Ron
I mean, they're driving right into the spikes. Hooks.
Dave
Yeah. And the sign says, do not go forward. Extreme vehicle damage will occur. Extreme.
Francis Ellis
That's so nuts. I guess that's what they got to do because the keys are in the car. But if you had just drove out and they came up to you and they're like, sir, you just ruined this car. And you. You could have just been like, I returned this. I returned this car three hours ago. Check the system.
Ron
How am I even in it?
Francis Ellis
I'm not even.
Dave
No one saw me.
Francis Ellis
I was never here.
Ron
I was supposed to be in this car in the first place.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, that's on you.
Ron
How could I have destroyed it?
Francis Ellis
That is. You found the perfect loophole to destroy a car at the airport.
Dave
Yeah, So I. I drove back into the city, and then I still had an hour until my hotel room expired. Yeah, I just went back to my
Francis Ellis
hotel, got back in bed.
Dave
Well, I hadn't checked out. And admittedly, I. I should have checked out, but this was lucky that I hadn't. And I took a bag straight to the gym, like, literally with my gym outfit. And I walked into the tiny hotel gym with my roller bag and I walked straight into Bert Kreischer.
Ron
Oh, damn.
Dave
Who was working out in the gym with his, like, team.
Francis Ellis
Wow.
Ron
Do they have it closed off? Do they have, like, a roped off area?
Dave
No, but they were doing, like, a circuit workout.
Francis Ellis
Oh, my God. Imagine seeing the machine in the body.
Ron
That's like. This is like your. Your dream scenario, Is it hopping in on a circuit?
Dave
Oh, yes. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Just towards school.
Ron
If I work in.
Dave
Yeah. Well, the guy was like, you're seven.
Ron
You.
Dave
You missed. You miss being part of this by seven minutes. I'll catch up. I said that. I literally said that. I was like, back filming. Film me from the back. Film me from the back, boys. And then I just started working next to them. But Bert's in the best shape I've ever seen him in his life. He said he's in the best shape that he's been in in many.
Ron
See on roids.
Francis Ellis
His peptide stack has to be insane
Ron
because he was hitting the roids pretty hard last time I spoke to him.
Dave
Was he.
Ron
He was on the yak. Yeah, he came on the yak and he was like. Remember he said he was taking them?
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Ron
Or testosterone, maybe.
Francis Ellis
Maybe testosterone.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
He looks like lean and muscular would be the way I would put it. Natty.
Francis Ellis
He's probably a natty ga. Could be natty.
Ron
That sounds natty.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
How do his nipples look? Like he's been using testosterone.
Dave
They looked puffy, like he's been milked.
Ron
That's if they're looking puffy.
Dave
Look, far be it for you to give anyone nipple shame. I've seen those fucking saucers you got.
Ron
You've never seen my nipples.
Dave
I've seen.
Ron
And the ones that are online are not real. They're fake nipples.
Dave
Oh, that's what anyone would say. Who's had.
Ron
Those are stickers.
Dave
You've been leaked. You had a vengeful ex leak your
Francis Ellis
nipple picks and then you had to. You tried to walk the market with different size nipple. Wait, who's bro next to you? What the hell is that? Nas X.
Dave
That's Nas.
Francis Ellis
Why does little Nas X come on. Oh, shirtless threaded little Nas X shirtless little Sass X.
Dave
More like little Gas X. You know what I mean? Look at those pepperonis.
Francis Ellis
I'm fixated on Nas X. Why didn't you do your bulge like Nas X?
Ron
I know. I should have.
Francis Ellis
Should have sculpted the bul.
Ron
Get the tighty whities on. It's crazy how many shirtless photos of Lil Nas X come up when you look up.
Dave
Me?
Francis Ellis
Yeah. What the.
Ron
It's nuts.
Francis Ellis
Are you named after him?
Ron
Yes. I was a fan from the jump back when he was doing Nicki Minaj. Back when he was a Nicki Minaj fan page. That's when I became a.
Francis Ellis
What the fuck is my Nicki Minaj fan page rapping for? Give me Minaj.
Ron
Oh, man.
Francis Ellis
How was the set? Was it sick? What was it? What was the cap?
Dave
2500 was the theater.
Ron
Were you nervous? Yeah, Yeah, I would have been.
Dave
Yeah, I was. I haven't done. I haven't done a room that big in a long time.
Francis Ellis
Honestly, though, that's just the community looking out for itself. Because you getting in front of 2500 before you go and do the garden, you know, you want to be building and building rooms.
Ron
That's exactly what I said to him.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, that's what Rogan and said.
Ron
This is going to be a hell
Francis Ellis
of a rep. That's their playbook down in Dallas. Yeah, perfect rep. How did it go?
Dave
It went well. Chappelle Lacy went before me and he.
Ron
That was in a different direction, Dave.
Dave
Yeah, no, they wouldn't.
Ron
It's about to be like. Well, you forgot to mention that.
Dave
All right, we're going to go David and then Francis.
Ron
We're going to make this as hard for Francis as we possibly can.
Dave
David has to catch a flight. No, he doesn't. That flight leaves when he wants it to.
Francis Ellis
Now we're going to have David and then Francis and then Jerry.
Ron
I saw something for like, the. Did you see this, like, the Comedy Store lineup last night? I don't know if it was last night. Kanye.
Dave
Right.
Ron
It was like. It was like. It was like Shane Louis Chappelle, Kanye,
Francis Ellis
all written in at the end. Yeah, right after Jeff died.
Ron
Like they were like the drop ins.
Dave
What?
Ron
Yeah, it was like a full. You know, they do the full lineup and then. Yeah, like what Ron said, it's. It was written in at the bottom.
Francis Ellis
It was. Is that a heavy hitter lineup or a heavy Hitler lineup? I couldn't tell. Yeah, yeah, right here.
Dave
Wow, that's insane.
Francis Ellis
I think it's so much smaller potion stamp size. That's great. I wonder what it was on what that brother was doing, hopefully.
Dave
Honestly, what's his name did stand up. That great rapper that everyone loves.
Francis Ellis
Oh, yes, yes.
Dave
Lil Nas x Toy Story or something. Was his album
Ron
Ty Dolla Sign?
Dave
No, not Ty Dolla Sign. You know that like, jazzy guy who's really, really good.
Francis Ellis
Key Glock.
Ron
Could have been store his black music soul child. Token.
Dave
No, it's not Token. I'm sorry. It's like. Honestly, I'm.
Ron
Token might be the funniest thing that could have come up there.
Dave
I'm too delirious to figure out the name, but you guys would know.
Ron
I know who you're talking about. I just don't remember the name right now.
Francis Ellis
Blue and Exile, you said?
Ron
No, it's like a very famous rapper.
Dave
Yes, super, super famous. Yeah, he's jazzy.
Ron
He's not jazzy. I don't know why you keep on saying that, but the jazz is definitely mixing people up front of me.
Francis Ellis
Toy Story album jazz. Randy Newman came up.
Dave
Maybe it's like Children's Story is the name of the album. No Closer. It's close to them. I think we would have a better chance. The rapper.
Ron
Oh, okay. There we go.
Dave
Is that who you thought I was talking about?
Ron
No, not who I was thinking of at all.
Dave
Coloring book. Golly. Don't ask. Don't expect much out of me, dude. I. So I did my set and then I immediately had to get in the car and I had to rush to the airport again.
Ron
Yeah, yeah. Well, I have a question, though, and I don't want to. I'm sorry.
Dave
I've cut you off nine times by me finishing.
Ron
I've cut you off nine times.
Francis Ellis
But let's hear this question.
Ron
My question is, why didn't you just Uber back to the hotel? Wouldn't you? I feel like getting the car returned is like a good weight off the shoulders.
Dave
I had a lot of bags. I had golf clubs.
Ron
Oh, okay.
Dave
Because I had been in Oklahoma with foreplay.
Ron
Oh, yeah.
Dave
I went Oklahoma. San Francisco. I mean, I've been.
Ron
I Forgot about that.
Dave
Yeah, it's been a mess.
Ron
That's where the red eye. Really? You too? Because then it's just a tease getting home.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
You're like, I got to go right back out, dude.
Dave
I went to, so I went to the airport and then got on the plane and I was the number. I had used a regional upgrade certificate, so I was the number. I was in premium comfort or whatever, which I hadn't ever flown on that.
Ron
I don't think I have either.
Dave
And it was, it's nice. Spectacular.
Francis Ellis
Nice.
Ron
What is it?
Francis Ellis
It's like a lay down seat where you can't lay down. So it has all the amenities of a lay down seat. And it's a little bit Wider, but
Dave
it's 75 more recline than in coach. Oh, there's a foot rest that pops out. Very comfortable.
Ron
That sounds better than the bed.
Dave
Not gonna go that far. They said on the phone when I spoke to the lovely, lovely customer service reps to whom I give a five every single time. They're so good that I always give them five.
Ron
I thought you meant you tipped them.
Francis Ellis
I give them a five.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
Send me your Venmo.
Dave
I send them $5.
Francis Ellis
I'd like to give you a five.
Dave
No, I, I, she had said it is akin to first class on like a regular flight on, on a non delta 1 flight. But it was way better.
Ron
Was this a new plane presumably? Yeah, must have been.
Dave
But it's the type of plane that goes to Europe.
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Dave
And anyway, I was number one on, I was in that seat and then I was number one to be upgraded to Delta 1. And I got to the gate agents and I said, hi, I'm just wondering if I'm number one on the upgrade list. And I'm wondering if there's anyone who is not going to be in Delta 1 or not coming. And the guy was like, well, I don't want to speak too soon, but there is somebody who hasn't checked in yet. So this might just be your lucky day. And as he was finishing that sentence, that person checked in.
Ron
Damn, that's brutal. But you, you, you had to know who's just casually just skipping the Delta one.
Dave
It's, I don't know, I mean it's like a red eye. I guess I would wonder if the attrition rate on a red eye is lower or higher than a day flight. Probably lower would be my guess.
Ron
Nobody's probably, yeah, probably.
Dave
You have to get home. That's the reason you're taking the red eye.
Ron
Yeah, the only reason would be if someone decides to fly in the morning instead.
Dave
And that doesn't really. You have a bed. You're like, well, I don't need to.
Ron
Yeah, true, true.
Dave
So then I took Let Me Sleep Gummy in right when we took off.
Francis Ellis
Okay, that explains it.
Ron
Wait, what the.
Francis Ellis
I knew that there was something up, and I could tell that you're still off a Let Me Sleep Gummy?
Dave
Yeah, I had two of them.
Francis Ellis
You had two Let Me Sleep gummies?
Dave
Well, that's the dosage. That was the recommended dose.
Francis Ellis
That's the half. You're still in the half.
Ron
Life of a Let Me Sleep gummy.
Dave
Oh, you Let me sleep. Let me sleep. Let Me Sleep gummy. You'd probably know it as a edible or something.
Ron
Is it an edible?
Francis Ellis
No, they probably sell them at the airport.
Ron
Oh, you remember getting the tea. And I'm noticing there's no T at all in the spelling.
Dave
To be honest with you, I've never read the label.
Ron
Let Me Sleep slang. These are company.
Dave
I carry these loose in, like, a little package because my God damn fucking shampoo bottle blows up every single time I fly.
Ron
Is that the pressure in a bag?
Dave
Is that the pressure of the airport? Whoa, whoa.
Francis Ellis
The Let Me Sleep gummies? Yeah, it's woofing right now.
Dave
Is that the pressure of the airplane or like the.
Francis Ellis
I'll be honest, I fly with shampoo.
Ron
I've never flown with shampoo either.
Francis Ellis
I trust that it'll be where I'm going.
Ron
Yeah, shampoo is one of those ones. I don't really care. I'd use dawn.
Dave
Do you care more about your conditioner or your shampoo?
Ron
Yeah, the conditioner I travel with everywhere. I don't use conditioner at all. No, Never.
Dave
What?
Ron
Yeah, it makes my hair too soft and flat.
Dave
No wonder you got that perfect.
Ron
That perfect coif going.
Dave
You're acting like you're all fucking simple on your hair routine.
Ron
I know there's a lot. I never once acted like that.
Dave
There's a lot going on.
Ron
There's a ton.
Dave
There's a lot.
Ron
Hours.
Dave
Yes, yes.
Ron
And then people are like, why don't you just run a brush through your hair? And it's like, it'll look worse by a lot.
Dave
Yeah. You want me undo what took me hours to this controlled chaos?
Ron
This controlled chaos.
Dave
Old chaos again. Your hair looks amazing. It really does.
Ron
I don't know about that.
Dave
You got all these, like, disparate little threads at the top that, you know, it's like someone ran a balloon.
Ron
Exactly. Very Joe Burrow esque.
Francis Ellis
But if you start acknowledging too much how much time you put into it, it will lose its charm.
Ron
Exactly. We'll have to wipe all that.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, we have to nip this in the bud.
Dave
Now, I think that you probably dress the way that you do to even out how lovely your hair is.
Ron
That's what it is.
Dave
You're like, I don't want people thinking I'm, you know, a billionaire. I can't. If I show up with hair like this in a, in a, you know, millions, like, I'm gonna get robbed immediately.
Francis Ellis
It'll be like those videos when people first get to, like Mumbai. People are just pressed up against the glass, like trying to get a dollar off.
Ron
Those videos are insane.
Francis Ellis
We gotta get to Mumbai as a squad.
Ron
Some mackin on the window, clawing at it.
Francis Ellis
That sounds so nice. And like the drivers turned off the car.
Ron
Oh, yeah. Just sitting there as people are just rocking the boat
Francis Ellis
because the traffic's bad. We gotta get out to Mumbai. Do you guys crave going to India in your lifetime?
Dave
No, no, not really. The only thing I'm interested in is that people talk about the service there as if it's the best in the world.
Francis Ellis
Really? Yeah. It's probably because there's like slavery.
Ron
Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Dave
Like, like middle class people have a chef, a driver and two maids every day. Yeah, like every. They just are there.
Ron
Yeah. I don't have a huge interest in India, but I would go if the offer was right.
Francis Ellis
Well, guess what, brother, I'm offering you right now two round trip tickets to. To India.
Ron
Yeah, I mean, sure.
Dave
Curry week.
Francis Ellis
Curry week.
Dave
Curry.
Ron
I would definitely be down bringing Steph Curry.
Francis Ellis
Steph and Seth.
Dave
Yeah, we're going with the curry brothers.
Francis Ellis
Curry week would be so nice. Or at least interesting.
Dave
Yeah, it would. I bet Taz would get sick so fast you wouldn't even eat anything.
Ron
I think we all would get.
Dave
Harry would eat the food on the plane over and be like, oh my God, I have diarrhea. That was the Delta.
Francis Ellis
That was the Gouda.
Dave
That food in India really got to me. It's like, dude, we flew an American Airlines. I took these, let me sleeps. I sat down in my chair and I started to like nod off. And I'm not kidding you, dude, I slept in stages of five minutes for five hours.
Ron
Yeah, I've been there.
Dave
I mean, it was like sleep for five minutes, wake up, be like, wow, I wonder how long I was out for.
Ron
Oh, a minute.
Dave
Pull up the flight map. Five minutes has allowed you still see
Francis Ellis
the same town that you were passing.
Ron
The worst.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Dave
I couldn't believe it. And I don't know if it was because the plane was jostling a little or because I didn't eat enough lemmings, but for whatever reason, I. It was the worst.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Fucking. I would rather have gotten bagel.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
I would rather have not slept a single minute.
Ron
I think honestly, the move might be taking nothing. I wonder, because when we flew to Birmingham, I mean, I took everything I could get my hands on and I didn't sleep for a second. Like, I took a concoction that's like you. Like if you woke, if you took that at noon, you would fall asleep. And it was like, it was like midnight and I was just eyes wide open.
Dave
Well, give us what you took.
Francis Ellis
He can't say probably.
Ron
I mean,
Dave
we know he's prescribed Ativan or whatever it is.
Ron
Yeah, yeah. I took Klonopin. I took one Klonopin and I felt it like, as I was going on the plane. And then I sat down. It was like it I it out or something. Like it was. You beat a colon.
Francis Ellis
It was.
Ron
I beat it. It didn't take.
Dave
Yeah, you needed to chew it.
Ron
Klonopin also isn't like, it's never gonna have that same effect like that like a Xanax or like a Ativam would, because it's extended release. It lasts for like 12 hours.
Francis Ellis
You got a drink on it if you. If you really want. You really want to have some fun. You didn't activate it. You had the nozzle button in the car, but you just didn't press it.
Dave
Yeah, that's right. That's right.
Ron
I definitely thought about it, you know, up in the bed. Maybe I'll just get a drink.
Francis Ellis
And it would have been like the wolf of Wall street, like crawling into Birmingham. Well, I thought it was fine.
Dave
Just wrapped up in seat belts.
Ron
Yeah, Yeah. I couldn't sleep, though. I can't sleep on those flights. The way home, though, I raw dogged it. Slept literally for eight hours straight. Did not wake up. I woke up. We were landing in New York.
Dave
That must be nice, folks. Son of a boy. Dad is brought to you by Revolve. I am a huge fan of Revolve. Man. It is an unbelievable marketplace of clothing that. I mean, you guys know how I am with clothes. And this place has some good stuff, some nice stuff, and they have great sales, great deals, all kinds of brands. I mean, you got Big Dog brands. You know what I mean? Big Dog. And you get last minute deals and sort of like you, maybe you go on there and you don't even know what you need, but you just spend hours browsing and something catches your eye. This has happened to me a few times, by the way. I go to Revolve man and you're not drowning in 10,000 results or 50 pages of product. It's edited in a way that makes sense. You can actually select what specifically you're looking for and then obviously sort that from price high to low. And then just know that whatever the highest price is, is the one you need.
Francis Ellis
You have to. That's the Francis method.
Dave
That's the method. Everything is styled so you can see how it works. Not just a product. I want a white background, but a whole outfit. It's not about one piece, it's about the full look. Revolve man shows you what goes with what so you're not guessing. Fast shipping and easy returns. Two day shipping is free and return are easy. So even if you order a couple options for a trip or an event, it's genuinely stress free. I ordered some Oliver people sunglasses from Revolve and I also ordered some nice new bathing suits for summer. And I had to because my old bathing suits don't fit anymore because I'm too large.
Francis Ellis
He's bulge.
Ron
You are getting fat as hell.
Francis Ellis
He's got that little Nas x bulge.
Dave
Yeah, it's not the bulge. It's the top of my thighs has gotten to a point where, you know, I can't put things in the pockets of my bathing suits.
Ron
That's muffin top.
Francis Ellis
That's the women's favorite. Muffin top thighs.
Dave
Don't you dare call me that. Whether it's a big night out, a wedding, a trip, or you just need something last minute that actually works. Revolve man always has it. Go to Revolve.com Boyd AD to shop and use code BOYDAD for 15% off your order. Free two day shipping, easy returns. It just makes everything easier. That's Revolve.com Boyd AD and use code Boyd AD for 15% off your entire order offer end soon. Don't sleep on it. Oh, man. Then I got in an Uber from JFK and it was one hour and 32 minutes.
Ron
Oh, what time?
Francis Ellis
8:00am yeah, that's how far Philadelphia is.
Dave
Yeah, bro. Imagine being a tourist who has flown from like Singapore or wherever to New York and you don't know. Yeah, it'd be reasonable not to know how far JFK is from the city. And you, you've been flying for 14 hours.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
And you get in your Uber and you're like, all right, 20 minutes. Yeah, we'll be at our hotel. No. Hour and a half.
Ron
Longer if they're going into, like, Manhattan.
Dave
I went into Manhattan.
Ron
Oh, okay.
Francis Ellis
Okay.
Dave
I just came. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
So that's probably the average ride for somebody is going to. Around where you came today, and it's 90 minutes, and you're just looking at, like, three. Graveyards are the best thing. You'll see. Like, the city's so far away for so long.
Dave
Dude, my driver was furious the whole 90 minutes.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
He was just this, like, Latin guy who was like, you know.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Freaking out. Like, drivers, bicyclists. Once we got into the city, there was a guy biking the wrong way into traffic and looking at his phone.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
And he, like. He rolled his window down, and he was like, yeah, Yeah. I don't really do Spanish, so, you know, out of respect.
Francis Ellis
I thought I understood that.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
It sounded legit.
Ron
I've been getting that a lot recently. The Uber drivers that are, like, pissed.
Dave
They're furious.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
And I. I was like, wow, man. I finally. I said to him, I was like, man, I don't know how you do this job. Like, yeah, this really seems to bother you. And he goes every day. Every day. I get in fight every single day. He goes, when. When no passenger is much worse. Oh, yeah, it's much worse.
Ron
He's like, pulling over.
Dave
He's like, if you're not here is so bad. He goes, the food delivery drivers. Oh, they don't care at all.
Ron
He's right.
Dave
And I was like, well, we need our low main, but that is two
Francis Ellis
different classes of immigrants. You know what I mean?
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Food delivery.
Ron
Undocumented food delivery is kind of frowned upon by the drivers.
Francis Ellis
Yes, exactly. Those are the documented immigrants. Yeah, Drivers.
Ron
Exactly. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
That's so. I mean, it's got to be frustrating. But you. It's your duty as the passenger in that position to be on his side. You have to go to war with him. And if someone cuts you off, you're like that guy.
Dave
Dude, you know my policy about not. Not cutting traffic and stuff like that when I'm a passenger in an Uber? Oh, yeah. Yeah. If there's a long line heading into a. An exit, I'm like, hey, bud, see how 400 cars up there are people crossing that double white line? Why don't we go ahead?
Francis Ellis
Really?
Dave
No. I don't actually say it, but they do it.
Francis Ellis
And you're fine with it?
Dave
I don't Say anything. What am I going to do? I don't tell a chef how to cook.
Francis Ellis
No, I like it. I just. I'm surprised that that's your outlook on it as the warrior passenger.
Dave
When I'm a passenger, I think it would be incredibly petulant and condescending to tell my Uber driver, excuse me, sir, you understand that what you're doing is actually causing longer buildup for the people that are playing by the rules?
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Stand that.
Francis Ellis
You just got a passive aggressively sigh at him then. That's the only way to communicate with the Uber driver.
Dave
I hold on to the. The handle that folds out of the roof for dear fucking life is what I do. Start to finish.
Francis Ellis
I love it. I love when they cross over. I'm all like, I'm. You're on like international waters in an Uber. Break all the rules. Just getting all the fights.
Ron
Yeah. I get jacked up when they start breaking the rules. And try just tailing an ambulance with the sirens on. I love that.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
You're like, we're flying.
Dave
Yeah. Pull a siren from underneath. Okay. I didn't know you were a. A part time emt.
Francis Ellis
You should have explained to him about cortisol spiking, though. I know what that sounds for his long term health. The fact that his cortisol is getting up into that range.
Ron
It sounds like it's just out of control.
Dave
Can you tell me a little bit about cortisol spike?
Ron
Oh, with weight gain, irritation.
Francis Ellis
I mean, that's the stress hormone. Every. Every type of buildup that. That you could possibly want to avoid.
Dave
Plaque from your.
Ron
Yes, actually not lasting long enough in bed.
Francis Ellis
Your cortisol spikes, your plaque builds up, you start swallowing your plaque, the plaque gets into your heart, you start getting dementia. You stressed yourself into insanity.
Dave
Yep.
Francis Ellis
That's literally what happens with cortisol spiking. Oh, you could have wired but tired changes. Headaches.
Ron
You feeling wired but tired.
Francis Ellis
Wired and tired.
Ron
What do you feel? Wired but tired.
Dave
I don't know how I feel right now. Cortisol spike.
Francis Ellis
What? I think you are the definition of wired but tired right now. You're like dialed in for the show, but you. All those Lemmy sleep gummies in you,
Ron
you have skin changes. Has your skin changed at all?
Dave
I itch all the time. I'm not disaster. I am the itchiest guy alive.
Ron
You might be living at a full spike.
Francis Ellis
He's up at a butte, he's plateaued at cortisol and he's staying there.
Dave
Wired and tired is funny. That'll be the name of the episode.
Francis Ellis
Wired and tired.
Ron
All of these.
Dave
Go ahead and write that down.
Ron
Except for the stretch. Stretch marks on my belly. W. God.
Francis Ellis
You don't have stretch marks.
Ron
No, not yet.
Francis Ellis
It's from. It's because you're keeping your cortisol low.
Ron
Exactly. Maybe I'm low.
Dave
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Unintentional weight loss. Go down. That's on there.
Francis Ellis
Low cortisol.
Ron
Oh, I could have this, to be honest.
Dave
Well, then I don't want that because I want my weight loss to be intentional.
Francis Ellis
Right. Well, that's because you have high cortisol, so you do. I think you. That's. You're. You're showing all signs of high cortisol.
Ron
I think I might just be fat.
Francis Ellis
No, no, it's your cortisol. You have a blockage.
Ron
I'm noticing the weight gain in the. I have. I've come. I have some signs of high and low cortisol.
Dave
The worst of both.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, I'm like an introvert. Extrovert.
Ron
I don't know what I am because I'm fatigued and I have stomach fat. It's like, oh, it sounds like you're just fat.
Francis Ellis
You might be a fat guy. Has nothing to do with your cortisol, bro.
Dave
We went to. We went to. So Brandon had never been to the Golden Gate Bridge before, and I had a rental car, so I was like, all right, well, why don't we drive across it? And we went across the Golden Gate Bridge.
Ron
Were you doing that because you secretly hoped you were going to save someone's life?
Dave
That would have been a question I would have answered with the joke I was getting to. That sucks. All right. At least we're on the same page.
Ron
I just had a feeling that I could see you doing that with only the entire intention of hoping to stop someone from jumping.
Dave
Well, the whole jumping thing was an amazing. I learned a lot about it. First of all, the. The nets that they talk about having put up to catch people jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. You can clear them.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
If you don't clear them, you should kill yourself.
Ron
You're gonna die.
Dave
You have no, like, standing broad jump ability whatsoever. Like, I. How long.
Francis Ellis
How far out are they?
Dave
But you're jumping from pretty high above them, so you can. You can. You know, maybe you're the physics guy.
Ron
Like, could you just do a quick equation and figure out how.
Dave
When the art. When the force of gravity counteracts the
Francis Ellis
force of, like, 10 meters per second
Ron
per second, a mile long,
Francis Ellis
and that's Her a mile long. You'd have to be shot out of a. Out of a cannon to get to clear the.
Dave
So anyway, the other part of it
Ron
is you probably think like, oh, 90% decline in suicides. 73. 2.
Dave
Yeah. Because I would think that most of the people killing themselves off the Golden Gate Bridge probably can't. Like they're not. Like
Francis Ellis
they're not coming right from the NFL.
Dave
Yeah. It's not the combine. Like, you know, you got to stick the land.
Ron
10 foot broad net. Must just be humiliating. That's gotta be.
Dave
So, so get this. So get this. The net. You think it's like, you know, the type of net you see at a baseball field?
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Wrong.
Dave
It is steel chicken wire. If you get caught in that thing like you're coming home looking.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
You got a thatched pattern across your
Francis Ellis
whole body ripped up.
Dave
Like when they pull you out of there with like a fireman crane or some shit, like they're. It's all sticking to your clothes and your skin.
Ron
I mean, it must cost a lot of money just to get someone out of the net.
Dave
I think so.
Ron
Probably millions.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Is it. I don't know, Is it just a flat mat? Is it just a flat.
Dave
Why would it be millions?
Ron
I mean, they got to get like a crane down there.
Dave
They send a fire truck, you know.
Ron
Yeah. Kind of like there's probably some sort of system to speed it up. Maybe the nets come up.
Dave
Everybody in San Francisco rock climbs. They definitely have gear.
Francis Ellis
People who are.
Ron
The net is $400 million.
Francis Ellis
It's a waste. The wasteful $400 million anti suicide.
Dave
But hold on a minute. That doesn't account for the cost of. Of all the body bags that were fishing people out of the water.
Ron
True.
Dave
And I know for a fact that the Coast Guard spent a huge portion of its budget every year on new body bags.
Ron
Really?
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Dave
They were always pulling people out of the water.
Francis Ellis
Well, because you know, the San Francisco gays and their designer body.
Dave
Yeah, exactly. That's not pleasant.
Francis Ellis
They had the best. The top of the line.
Dave
No. Right. But then I was thinking about this because my hotel looked out over the Bay Bridge. Do you know the Bay Bridge?
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
So that's heads over to like, you know, Oakland and whatnot. And I couldn't help but wonder, like, are there people who just have such a low opinion of themselves that they don't think they deserve to kill themselves off the Golden Gate Bridge? So they jump off of the Bay Bridge where they're like, ah, the Golden Gate. I Mean, I haven't heard that. Like, imagine how humbly suicidal. You'd have to be respectful to be like, you know, that's for the big leagues.
Ron
Like, I mean, is it lower? Like, I would definitely rather not jump off of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Dave
Well, the issue with the Bay Bridge is that there's no walking path. So if you're gonna jump off of that one, you have to walk with traffic. Kind of.
Ron
Got a jog?
Dave
Yeah. Or get a ride.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Just be like, let me off here. I'll actually.
Ron
I'm good from here.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
The fact that they didn't spend $400 million on the net on the bridge to Oakland, it makes it way funnier.
Ron
I know, right?
Francis Ellis
Just like, if you're going from What's. What's north of there. Sausalito.
Dave
No, Sausalito is just on the other side. Oh, on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge?
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Like, Sausalito to San Francisco. Those lives are worth $400 million.
Dave
Those are. Those are dentists who have been found out.
Ron
Even have guard rails on the Oakland Bridge.
Francis Ellis
It's just a swinging drawbridge, people. Just to walk from Oakland across a waterfall every day.
Dave
We got across the Golden Gate, and Brandon was like, well, that was cool. Want to go to wine country? And I was like, it. So then we drove to Sonoma.
Ron
Oh, wow.
Dave
How far is that for the day? Another hour and 20 minutes.
Ron
Damn.
Dave
We went to, like, northern Sonoma, and I have a friend who. His family owns a winery there. And I just called him up, and I was like, hey, dude, we're on the way to your winery. Is that okay? He's like, oh, my God. And he set us up, and we got a tour and, like, caves and all this awesome stuff.
Ron
That's sick.
Dave
Yeah, it was cool. And then we. And we drove back.
Francis Ellis
What kind of wine are they pedaling over there?
Dave
Well, they got. It's called Knightsbridge. It's spectacular. Truly, really good. They've got. I think cab is there. Like, is that. What.
Ron
What kind of nets does that one have?
Dave
That's a good question.
Francis Ellis
The drawbridge.
Dave
Grape nets.
Francis Ellis
The Knights Bridge.
Dave
It was really good. It was cool. So, yeah, we had a. We had a really cool time. I mean, honestly, San Francisco, I feel like somehow the. The conservative right has just, like, attached such a skid mark to that entire city.
Ron
Yeah, it does have a pretty bad
Dave
reputation as being, like, a. They've just somehow made it into being, like, a. Such a cesspool, but.
Commercial Announcer
Okay, guys, it's Grit Week. This is the part of the football calendar where nobody's watching, but everything gets built. Early mornings, pads back on, conditioning, film reps. Spring training. In football is all about putting in the work when nobody's cheering yet. And honestly, that's the same mindset behind the Chevy Silverado. This is a truck that is the definition of grit. Long days, dirty work, and showing up, up day after day, no matter the conditions. Strong, dependable, and built for the grind. Because grit isn't about being flashy. It's about being ready when it's time to go. Check out the current offers and build your silverado@chevy.com. that's Silverado. All grit, no quit. And you can build your silverado@chevy.com today.
Dave
Every time I go, I'm like, this is the most remarkable city in America.
Ron
Yeah, it's really not bad. It's really nice.
Dave
Yeah, there's homeless people, but where aren't there homeless people?
Ron
I don't know. That's something that I don't understand. When everyone says that about, like. Like, oh, you go to San Francisco, they're walking around in herds and it's like, well, first of all, another nod. And second of all, it's like, yeah, if you go to any city, like, they're. Yeah, they're very compact.
Dave
I will say, like, Denver. Yeah, Denver. LA LA's. LA is the worst that I've probably. San Diego's really bad. But I will say Burt's theater last night was called the Warfield, and it was in the Tenderloin. And I parked on the street nearby and just walking a block and a half from my car to the entrance to the theater, I passed a homeless guy who was smoking crack. I think that's. It's out of the tin foil with a glass pipe.
Ron
That's fentanyl.
Dave
Is that fentanyl?
Ron
Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Dave
Well, that's. I mean, that's good to hear.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, that's nice.
Dave
It doesn't really have the cortisol spiking nature of crap, you know?
Ron
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the big thing. I think that's like what most of the people on the street are doing now is just smoking fentanyl.
Francis Ellis
Sounds nice.
Dave
I. I learned a lot about fentanyl.
Ron
You see that. That video of that Indian dude smoking the fentanyl on the bus? Did you see that?
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Ron
And he's like, bro, what are you doing?
Dave
Y.
Francis Ellis
You're actually the one smoking fentanyl.
Dave
Does he say that?
Ron
Yeah, there's like a Guy filming him, and he's like, dude, what are you doing? You're smoking Fentanyl on the bus. And he's like, you can't be filming me, man.
Francis Ellis
You're. No, you're smoking. Bus driver. He's smoking Fentanyl.
Ron
Yeah. He gets, like, super defensive
Dave
fetty. This guy looks pretty good, to be honest with you.
Ron
See, it's catching a buzz before work. Nothing wrong with that.
Francis Ellis
You don't think anybody's coming the barstool office and smoke a little Fentanyl? There's probably about 20% of the workforce.
Ron
We could have a couple users.
Dave
Did you watch Euphoria?
Francis Ellis
Not. Not last night, no.
Dave
But I'm saying the first two seasons.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Dave
Do you remember the scene where Rue takes the fentanyl?
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
It renders her incapacitated from one tiny drop, right?
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
But why is this guy able to, like, smoke Fentanyl? Is that ingesting the drop? Is that a far more concentrated dose?
Ron
I think it's. No, I think it's. They're probably smoking the similar dose, if I had to guess.
Francis Ellis
But I think people, if you're on drugs, you probably want to get the drug that's going to put you into a black hole. You want the really strong one. And then maybe there's some people who are just smoking it and, like, maybe it's not the best drug, or maybe their tolerance is higher and then they could walk through the world.
Dave
I see.
Francis Ellis
And just be on the bus smoking it.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
Francis Ellis
Imagine how good it is that you can't even wait to get off the bus.
Ron
I know.
Francis Ellis
Imagine how good it feels that you just can't help yourself.
Dave
I was like that with my school lunches.
Francis Ellis
You ate it first period.
Dave
I was like, ah, I'm not even at school yet. Yet my whole entree is gone.
Francis Ellis
You're eating your lunch.
Dave
I'm gonna have a lunch of grapes and Dan.
Ron
And yogurt is the worst.
Dave
Yeah, get in there.
Ron
And you're just done with lunch already.
Dave
How could I be so hungry? Oh, that's right. I'm growing 7 inches a year right now. Come home and take a nap, because puberty is just like taking all the water out of my body. Oh, my God. I did.
Ron
So I did the. I moved this week or last week, I guess.
Dave
Oh, yeah. By the way, I texted you about that and you wouldn't tell us where you moved to.
Ron
Oh, yeah, I was just fucking around. I told him. I told you to move to Philly.
Dave
Yeah, I mean, I like, that it's closer then I was really curious because this has been an ongoing saga for us.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I ended up finding a place in Queens, luckily. But Rockaway? No beach? No, no. But I ended up, I. So I, I had to like schedule all like the movers and which by the way, I thought that these moving companies cost like $3,000 for like the move.
Francis Ellis
It's just gonna be a jacked Russian guy that comes to your place.
Ron
Yeah, it was like 500 bucks.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, I, I, I.
Ron
The whole time I was like, I'm getting a U haul myself. I'm not spending all this money. And then I was like, oh, it's 500.
Francis Ellis
What did you tip the bro? So.
Ron
Oh, I took care of the boys.
Francis Ellis
Where'd you tip them?
Dave
That's that. You didn't?
Ron
No, I did. It was, I think I gave him 80 bucks each for three dudes. Three. Three dudes? Yeah.
Francis Ellis
That's good on 500 bucks total. That's a 50 tip.
Ron
Yeah, not bad.
Francis Ellis
Damn near 50 tip.
Ron
Felt felt solid.
Dave
Right?
Ron
I mean I also packed up the whole place before. Like they didn't really have to do anything.
Dave
Oh, so you didn't do them?
Ron
They were in and out 10 minutes.
Dave
Yeah, that's easy. And then they just brought the boxes into the new place.
Ron
I just said put them all in one room.
Dave
Is your new place of walk up?
Ron
No.
Dave
You've an elevator.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Oh, fuck yeah, dude.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Welcome to the next chapter
Ron
two.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
Oh, it did. But you never used it. Now on the second floor.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
What floor are you on now?
Ron
The third.
Dave
Ah, see?
Francis Ellis
It's okay. I see you, bro.
Dave
Does your new building have doormen?
Ron
No.
Dave
No. So your packages will still get stolen.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Okay, good. Way more just gonna say going to take the stairs.
Ron
No, the third floor. Were you crazy?
Francis Ellis
I don't know. Did you take the stairs to the second floor?
Ron
Yeah, every time. But that wasn't even the second floor. It was one flight of stairs like a half.
Dave
That's the second floor. Why wouldn't that be the second floor?
Ron
Because it was the. My old apartment. The building went down a step. No, it went down like probably five steps and then five and it would be one.
Dave
That's a baker's five steps. Maybe that's an NBA travel that you're you, you're given that there.
Ron
You know, it was funny when I was two steps when I was leaving, I was like, I was like, damn, like finally leaving this place. It's been a while getting a little sentimental. And then I went, Yeah, I went to return my key to the super, and I was. I was. I was handing it back, and she goes, what's your name again? And I was like, all right, this place. I'm getting the hell out of here. I was like, oh, your daughter was in my room. That was the one. That was the one where your child walked into my unit.
Francis Ellis
She did not care about that. No. No, she didn't.
Dave
God damn, dude. I will miss the stories that came out of that place. You didn't feel like knocking on your neighbor's door one last time and just giving her a little.
Ron
Oh, smooch.
Dave
Goodbye.
Ron
Hell no.
Dave
You know, hey, listen, I know it's always been like a will they, won't they with us?
Ron
But no, they were definitely fired up that I was leaving because the. I think some other girl was moving into my building that, like, she was. I think there's some whole interconnections that I didn't know about, therefore leading to me to believe that they were stealing my packages. I really think they were.
Francis Ellis
Of course they were.
Ron
I really think that.
Francis Ellis
What do you mean? What do you mean? Your packages were disappearing?
Ron
I know.
Francis Ellis
Right away. Of course they were, like, as soon
Ron
as they were delivered.
Francis Ellis
But how can you be like, I really think they were?
Ron
Because I don't know. You know, enough time went by where I didn't have one get stolen, where I was like, maybe they weren't stealing.
Francis Ellis
She's playing in your fucking face.
Ron
Yeah, she's probably gonna be stealing them from my new place.
Francis Ellis
She knows your name. She probably has your identity.
Dave
The hottest black market depot for video game controllers came out of the West Village of New York for the last three years.
Francis Ellis
The only thing that got through was a fucking kettlebell. Because they picked it up and were
Dave
like, no, this is a lot of controllers.
Francis Ellis
He's fucking with us.
Dave
What is this controller made of?
Ron
But I did have a funny story. So I was. I was leaving. It was. I think this was. I moved Thursday and Wednesday. I was, like, getting everything set up up. Thursday, the movers come at 8am so I'm like, they're. They take. They get everything out very early. And then I was like, I guess I'll just stay and wait for the junk people to come so that I don't have to, like, go back and forth and let people in. And then the junk people called me. So I'm sitting on the couch, like, that's. That's the only thing that's left.
Dave
Like a couple.
Ron
Yeah. And like, a couple bags of clothes and shit. And I get a call, and they're like, hey, this is the junk removal people. We're just. We're ready to process your payment. And I was like, oh, it's a little weird. I guess they do it before. I don't know. And he's like, so you're aware, like, it's gonna be a little bit extra because we'll, like, we had to chop up the couch and all that. And I was like, yeah, yeah, of course. And I was like, but just a heads up, I'm actually not having my couch removed anymore because the new tenant is gonna keep my couch. And he was like, like, I'm a little confused, though, because you told us that you needed us to chop up the couch. Like, we already did it. Like, we already chopped it up. And I was like, wait, I'm sitting on my couch right now?
Francis Ellis
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Ron
And the dude is like, the blue one.
Francis Ellis
Oh, no.
Ron
I'm like, no, man.
Dave
He goes, are you just a little blue, Very light? I don't know.
Ron
He goes, are you sure? And I was like, yeah, man, I'm sitting on my couch. And he was like, all right, we're gonna have to call you back. And then he calls me back, like, five minutes later. And I was like. I was howling, laughing, because I'm like, they just chopped up some random person's couch. Like, they just broke into someone's apartment, destroyed their couch, and left. And then he called me back, and he was like, it was a. We mixed up the appointments. It was another person that's having the same thing. Yeah, but I was like. I said. I was like, I thought you guys destroyed someone else's couch. And they were. They were hooting and hollering.
Dave
They were laughing about it. Oh, yeah, Because I'll tell you what, I had junk removal guys come, and it was. They. We did not hoot or.
Ron
Oh, really?
Dave
They were serious when they had to chop up my couch, too. And then they cut through all the
Ron
way through to the floor. Yeah, yeah.
Dave
And then I lost the entire security deposit. And then I hit them up, and I was like, by the way, remember when you cut the floor of my apartment? And they were like, that wasn't us. And I was like, I watched it happen.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
And they were like, well, there were lots of scratches on the floor before. And I was like, yeah, but there wasn't sawdust and deep, like, scarring ruts. There wasn't a trench that would collect water in the floor before. And I was like, look, it's fine. We had security. Like, they are not security insurance. They had to submit their building insurance or whatever for when they come into my building when I lived in the same building as Ron. And. And I like, I was like, we'll just use the insurance. And he was like. He's like, look, when we invoke a claim, it raises our rates. In other words, we don't have insurance. In other words, that was a completely forged document. Policy document. And I'm like, But, you know, I will say, like, security deposits in New York is just like one of those things. A lot of the time you're like, I'm not getting that back.
Ron
No, no, no.
Dave
You kiss it goodbye. I have gotten it back probably like 80% of the time.
Ron
The best thing that I've ever had was when I lived at my old apartment, like on Waverly, and I left something. Like there was something that I did that was like they were going to take it out, but they just removed how much it costs to get that removed and then sent me the rest of the security deposit.
Dave
That's really nice.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
That's honest. And that's pretty rare because you don't get that ever. Do you know that I sued my old landlords for taking my whole security deposit?
Ron
No, I did not know that.
Dave
Have I not told you that story?
Ron
I don't think so.
Dave
Did you not told you that story?
Francis Ellis
It sounds vaguely familiar.
Dave
Three apartments ago when I lived in Chelsea and my landlords were just crooks.
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Dave
That's the apartment the guy broke in.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
And he was friends with my landlord.
Ron
Yeah. Similar situation to what I was dealing with.
Dave
Oh, right now?
Ron
No, no, I was joking. I was talking about my name.
Dave
My.
Ron
My super stealing from me.
Dave
Oh, got it.
Francis Ellis
Well, you.
Ron
A little bit similar.
Dave
You said that the new tenant is connected to them.
Ron
Oh, it's a whole. They got a whole. Yeah, I think it's a whole operation that they're running.
Dave
What kind of an operation would that be?
Ron
Get some fake tenants in there. Make it believe, like, this is a real residential area I live in.
Dave
They're like. They're like.
Ron
You don't know is they're all spies.
Dave
They're crap. They're crisis actors.
Ron
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
I had to live in the worst apartment in New York. But, you know, the fact that she wants your couch does not speak highly of her employment.
Ron
Yeah, I don't know why anyone would have ever looked at that couch and said, leave that behind.
Dave
Think of who has slept on that couch. Nobody really I thought it was like Lemaire.
Ron
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
When you say nobody, how.
Ron
I guess that was. I mean, that was years ago.
Francis Ellis
He said nobodies. Like they're nobody. Like they don't get booked. Yeah,
Ron
nobodies.
Francis Ellis
They don't do arenas.
Ron
That's crazy.
Francis Ellis
Crazy to say that about our brothers left on my couch.
Ron
About our brothers in Austin.
Francis Ellis
My brothers, not yours. You just called them nobodies. I call them. Somebody slept on that couch.
Ron
But yeah, I mean, that couch is kind of. It was pretty. Like I was not like I was gonna sleep.
Dave
Both slept on it.
Ron
Yeah, I guess a lot of people slept on that couch. Really jumped the gun on nobody.
Dave
At least you're. It's. It's progress that you're admitting that there is a gulf between your blanket statement and the reality.
Ron
Yeah, I mean, there was like all. Like, it was gross.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
Gross couch.
Francis Ellis
Now keep it clean, though. You're gonna keep your new spot clean. Where'd you go? You didn't go to Ashley Furniture, did you?
Ron
I haven't gotten. That's. Those are just gonna bring that up. Ashley Furniture haven't gotten a couch yet.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, you gotta go to go to Ashley, bro.
Ron
I don't feel like spying. Another couch is the problem.
Francis Ellis
What are you talking about? You have a new apartment. What are you gonna just sit in your gaming chair?
Ron
No, that's the thing is just get a couch. Yeah, but they're like. They're just so expensive. Like, I might. I might just get like a bean bag.
Dave
They're not expensive. You know who you can get a couch from where it's a great price?
Ron
Amazon.
Dave
Wayfair.
Francis Ellis
Wayfair.
Dave
The best, our sponsor.
Ron
But how do you get them to bring the couch up?
Francis Ellis
Some couch. Not all couches are a one piece thing. There's some from Wayfair. That's like you put it together on your own sectionals.
Ron
What if I get the boneless couch? What are our thoughts on the beanbag? On the boneless.
Dave
You're just talking about a beanbag.
Ron
No, no, no. The boneless cat. It's like this comes in a box.
Francis Ellis
You open it, it puffs out and you puff.
Ron
It takes like three days for it to puff out.
Dave
Are you talking about like a pool float?
Francis Ellis
You have to pump it like a bicycle tire.
Dave
Listen to me. You need. You just asked me.
Ron
I think I get one of these.
Francis Ellis
Look at this guy. Look at the person in the middle. What are they? They're doing a damn acrobatic.
Ron
I think that that's What I get?
Francis Ellis
Yeah. That's perfect.
Ron
They're like 200 bucks.
Dave
Why don't you work with Wayfair and. And they're like, one of the largest furniture retailers.
Ron
I know, I know. I was looking at their website this
Dave
weekend, and they have truly amazing deals. And you asked, how do you get it into your apartment? They do that for you?
Ron
They bring it up. Because when I'd used Amazon, they didn't bring it up. The guy said, this is where I stop.
Dave
Correct. That's why you don't do Amazon and you do Wayfair.
Francis Ellis
I just got a bar card off Wayfair.
Dave
You might have to pay a little. I don't actually know, but you might have to pay a little bit extra for what's called the White glove service,
Ron
where they bring it up.
Dave
They give you a martini as you're carrying your furniture.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
A string quartet follows it up. They play it into your apartment. It's so nice. You gotta get on Wayfair. You got to get some inflatable. I was. I was looking at some people's setups for Coachella, and it's like three tents attached to one another with inflatable couches all over the place. Like, they have the full living room set up.
Ron
That's what I need. I need some inflatables.
Francis Ellis
You need to get the Coachella set up. Just get some tapestries separating room from room. You have open floor plan or what? What's the square footage, brother?
Ron
I don't know.
Francis Ellis
You're gonna have way more weirdo people that you interact with, though, in Queens as opposed to. In.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Village or West Village.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Why don't you say your address now that you're gone?
Ron
I'm not saying my address.
Dave
You're safe. No one's going out there, cuz.
Ron
I don't know. No need. Need.
Francis Ellis
It's that pink building.
Ron
I don't need people to know. To know how beautiful of a spot it was.
Dave
How far are you from LaGuardia now? Yeah.
Ron
Chip in a pot.
Dave
Come on. A cast in a reel.
Ron
I mean, I could book a flight like, 30 minutes prior. Yeah. And just get on it.
Dave
Is it truly like a five to ten minute Uber?
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Ron
Yeah. Less than ten minutes.
Dave
Did I tell you you. I did tell you how I made my flight after our. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have buried the lead on that. That we have Mark Normand coming.
Francis Ellis
Yes. That'll be. That'll be out soon.
Dave
Should we cut that?
Ron
No, I don't think it matters.

Francis Ellis
I saw when I walked into the office today, I saw our security guard downstairs drinking the hand sanitizer straight from the bottle and muttering the nw. No way to God.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Who? Dan?
Ron
No.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, he's drunk off hand sanitizer. The 99.9% pure drunk off hand sanitizer. Muttering the N word to himself like he was any. It was like saying like the New York N words instead of the New York Knicks.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
What?
Ron
Yeah. Is this real?
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Danny was doing this.
Ron
Dan, the security guy. Yeah, I just saw him downstairs. I know he wasn't drinking hand sanitizer this morning.
Francis Ellis
He was.
Dave
Is that because Ebony wasn't here today that he felt like it was okay to get away with him?
Francis Ellis
He was so out of pocket. I couldn't believe it.
Ron
Do you guys have beef? Like, is there a reason?
Francis Ellis
No, he wasn't saying it to me.
Ron
Spread such a crazy rumor about him.
Dave
What a thing to say. I'm waiting for the punchline. I know Rome will find a way to bring this home.
Ron
Is there. Is there a reason? Is he a big Knicks fan? What fan? A Knicks fan.
Francis Ellis
Oh, yeah, I guess.
Ron
Are you guys beefing over the Sixers? Knicks.
Dave
That's what it is.
Francis Ellis
No, I wasn't even beefing about it.
Ron
Sound beef. You guys are beefing?
Francis Ellis
There's no beef.
Dave
He just said it.
Francis Ellis
He's just saying it. Drinking hand sanitizer to the fucking dome. He said no one counts the hand sanitizer.
Dave
I have a thing to say about somebody. It's so specific. It's so specific. It's believable.
Ron
I thought you were being serious at first.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, dude, I was. I am.
Ron
He was drinking hand sanitizer straight from the bottle. Where was it from?
Francis Ellis
It was on the. You know how it's on the.
Ron
There's so much free booze just in the office.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, but people keep track of that. People keep track of that.
Ron
And, yeah, it says you can't drink it.
Francis Ellis
You shouldn't.
Ron
Well, you should.
Francis Ellis
Did you tell him that he can't say that?
Ron
That he can't drink hand sanitizer?
Francis Ellis
No, he was, like, gone off of it. It seemed like he'd been here since super early in the morning drinking hand sanitizer.
Ron
Oh, they got menthol in it.
Dave
Dude. I walked by. I walked by Sparky today, and downstairs on the first floor and your boy
Francis Ellis
Sparky and the guy who works the second elevator shaft.
Dave
Correct?
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Dave
And I walked by him and I go, hey, Sparky. He goes, what up? And then as I was getting in the elevator, he turned to the guy behind the podium and he goes, everybody in this building knows Hawaii.
Ron
He's not wrong.
Francis Ellis
Just bragging about you knowing it.
Dave
Everybody in the building knows who I am.
Francis Ellis
Just the fact that you came from a theater show on your way to a stadium show. I mean, but that just makes it so much funnier because in his dynamic, he's just like this dick rider.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Get off my dick. Sparky called bad. Wish I could show you the amount of calls, answered calls and missed calls I. I have from him this past weekend. Yeah, he and I are in constant correspondence.
Dave
Wanna. Can you guys give me an update on. Is. Is there stuff happening in bar. In the barstool world? What was this? What was this? There was the. Another group went to Vegas.
Ron
Oh, for Max's bachelor party.
Francis Ellis
For Max's bachelor party.
Dave
Oh, and was it like the Pardon My Take crew?
Ron
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
Oh, that's fun.
Francis Ellis
I. I FaceTime Max after the Sixers game, and he was just with his two brothers. And it's just two other exact Maxes.
Ron
Not surprised.
Francis Ellis
One of his shoulders just screaming into the. Into the camera like we've known each other our whole lives. I think they were all just, like, buddied up. I think that Max, like, from the looks of that video, that he just hung out with his brothers the entire time that he was just dialed in. Hilarious.
Ron
Just flew big cat and pft out there just to be with him and his brothers.
Francis Ellis
It seemed like they were like they were all a Three headed monster. It seemed like it was so fucking fun. They went through a lot of cool shit.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Look like a sick party.
Dave
I, I really like Max.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, he's.
Dave
I like him. Every time I've ever hung out with him or met him, I've, I've been like, that dude's great. And I don't say that about everyone, which makes you know that I hate all the other people I don't say it about. Yeah. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
He's got the best eyebrows in the company.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Best eyelashes are. Tate, I think.
Dave
What? What? Oh, just really quick. As a Celtics fan, that was one of the worst things I've ever watched.
Francis Ellis
What do you mean?
Dave
Lose? They, they won game one by 40 points.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
They were up 3:1 in this series. I, I, I thought it was a fucking rap. Yeah. Damn. And what happened?
Francis Ellis
Yeah, what happened?
Ron
I'll be honest, I didn't pay attention.
Dave
Tyrese Max, he's the fastest player in the NBA. That's what happened. Yeah, he can, he can get to the rim in a way where, where Biggs can't protect the rim because he's getting there too quickly.
Francis Ellis
And Joel Embiid is sick, too. He's.
Dave
Joel Embiid is amazing, and he's. And he hits his free throws.
Ron
I watched the first game of the series, and I was like, I'll watch the next series. And then I tuned it on.
Francis Ellis
Oh, you chalked it up as a win.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
You counted your chickens.
Ron
Well, everyone, I don't really watch. I don't pay attention to the Celtics like, during the regular season, but everyone I know was like, we're going to the finals. So I was like, oh, this will be a breeze. And, and then I looked up on. When did they play game seven? Friday.
Francis Ellis
Saturday.
Ron
Saturday. On Saturday, I looked up NBA on tonight. I was like, I'll watch some football, watch some basketball. And then I saw Celtics, Sixers, Game 9 or Game 7. And I was like, I was like, Game 9?
Francis Ellis
It felt like Game 9.
Ron
I was like, Game 7. I was like, oh, what the. And then I watched that game and I watched us lose.
Francis Ellis
Don't care about that anymore. I guess I'll, I guess I actually never cared about.
Dave
Just made me mad, dude. I, I, you know, I haven't really had an investment. I don't really care about other teams and sports, but the Celtics matter to me. And, and when they lost that series, I was mad.
Francis Ellis
Really? Yeah.
Dave
I, like, fucking went on stage and was calling people the f. Slur. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
That's so nice, though.
Dave
San Francisco. A bunch of F slurs at this town.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Getting dragged off stage nuts.
Dave
Being nasty and mean, dirty Fs.
Ron
I love doing that.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
Right after losing a Louie. When your team loses, it's the.
Francis Ellis
It's that or make a Twitter burner and throw some racism out there.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Directly at the player and their family's accounts.
Dave
I'm sorry that I'm lashing out at all you gays. My Celtics lost.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
The men I support lost.
Dave
Speaking of sports, I had this thought on the toilet.
Francis Ellis
Oh, talk to me. Nice.
Dave
Think like als. The disease was called ALS until Lou Gehrig.
Francis Ellis
Right.
Dave
Got it. And then from then on, now it's really known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Francis Ellis
That's why they call Chlamydia Wilt Chamberlain now.
Dave
I was gonna say, like, imagine being so good at your sports that, like, AIDS becomes Francis Ellis disease.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah, that would be cool.
Francis Ellis
Do you want a better disease, though? Do you want, like. They'll only give you the name if that disease is shorted.
Dave
If it's. If it's an acronym.
Francis Ellis
No, I think if it's.
Ron
If it's like a deadly disease, like, I got Ellis. Yeah.
Dave
Like, Lou Gehrig is true.
Ron
True.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
The Alice Challenge.
Dave
What disease would you guys want named after you that currently exists?
Francis Ellis
Just like a pox or something like that. A small chicken pox or something. Something that like, everybody gets over but, like, has a little cachet.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah. Covid.
Dave
What if diarrhea became settles disease?
Ron
Yeah, I mean, it would make sense.
Dave
Oh, boy. I got. I got a real bad case of the settles right now.
Francis Ellis
Why is Legionnaires called Legionnaires? Was that name after a person or like a group of people?
Ron
Legionnaire.
Dave
That's a good one.
Francis Ellis
We gotta Google that. We gotta find out why legionnaires is called, because that seemed. What's a Legionnaire? Legionnaires makes. It sounds like it's like a VFW group or something.
Ron
Sounds like an.
Dave
I think of like a. A soldier in the Roman army or something like that.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. Legionnaire of the American Legion convention in Philadelphia in 1976.
Dave
There you go.
Francis Ellis
What that's named after? Oh, I thought it was like an old disease. I thought it was like trench footers.
Dave
That's pretty Recent.
Francis Ellis
Recent legionnaires.
Ron
1976. Is that what it said?
Francis Ellis
Yeah, Legionnaires.
Ron
It's crazy. They had 34 people dying of a disease in Philly in the 70s.
Francis Ellis
They had a mini covet in one city. What? Yeah. What the happened did. There was like some bad toothpaste or something.
Ron
Must have been.
Francis Ellis
That's what happens from sharing toothpaste. If you share another comedian.
Ron
What do you think this is, Legionnaire?
Dave
This Moocs disease? Dude, there are a number of obviously diseases that are just named after, I presume, the people who discovered them. Right. Guillain Barre syndrome. Or I'm assuming Hodgkin's lymphoma is named after Barry Hodgkins. I just made that up.
Ron
It's actually Mike lymphoma.
Dave
What is it? Mike lymphoma.
Ron
Well done.
Dave
Well done. I didn't deserve a laugh when you had a far better tag.
Francis Ellis
Thomas Hodgkin.
Dave
Thomas Hod.
Francis Ellis
So it's not that I always thought it was the person who had the disease first, not the doctor.
Ron
I think Hodgkin was the doctor and then lymphoma was. The guy was the patient got it
Francis Ellis
was a sick person.
Ron
Yeah, exactly. You want to clap. You want to go 50, 50 on this?
Dave
Yeah, but then. But, yeah, but then it's like, isn't it interesting that sometimes it's the person who gets there you go, why isn't HIV called. Called Magic?
Francis Ellis
I don't think he wants it named after him. I think he probably wants to, like, distance himself.
Dave
I think it was too late in the game. I think. I think it had been around long enough that he couldn't be patient zero.
Ron
A lot of people, famous people who had gotten it at that point.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
Easy E. The lead singer of Queen Queen, Charlie Sheen.
Francis Ellis
Freddie Mercury.
Dave
Later. Freddie Mercury. Mercury disease would be. Well, then they'. Mercury poisoning.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Oh, age should be called mercury poisoning. Wow.
Ron
Yeah. The is the poison. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
The cock is the needle. The is the injection of the poison.
Ron
Damn.
Dave
Wow.
Francis Ellis
That's a little on the nose. A little too obvious.
Ron
Liberace, Anthony Perkins.
Dave
Kendrick Perkins.
Francis Ellis
That would break my heart.
Ron
It's got to be tough being one of those people on the list that just no one knew had aids.
Dave
Aids.
Ron
Like, no one knew that that guy from. From Psycho had AIDS until now.
Francis Ellis
That's what they're doing with homosexuality.
Ron
Yeah. Like, dude, weaponizing it or.
Francis Ellis
But like, guys would just be career gay guys. Career closeted gay guys.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
They come out of their closet after their death posthumously. And that's all they're known for. Da Vinci.
Ron
You see that video of that little kid doing the anti gay song?
Francis Ellis
I saw something a while ago about a little kid with the anti gay song, and it was pretty good.
Ron
This one's not good.
Dave
Great.
Ron
This one's pretty Bad.
Francis Ellis
Okay, I. I got it.
Ron
13 year old rapper. Got something to say?
Francis Ellis
Was this the kid? I think this kid is mostly. I think all of his songs are anti gay.
Ron
Seriously, he's got a gun in that.
Francis Ellis
I think he's got an anti gay catalog.
Dave
Oh my God. All right.
Ron
It's badass.
Dave
Oh, geez. I don't love this kid.
Ron
No, he's pretty bad.
Francis Ellis
Hear him out. Hear him out.
Ron
Bad kid.
Dave
I don't think we should. Let's not platform him.
Ron
Should get him on the pod. Pod.
Dave
Speaking of the pod. So in Oklahoma, I. We were, we were at this pretty sweet place called Shangri La. Was the like golf resort. It's on the lake. It was cool. And we're up by the course, we finish our round and there's a kid, probably a 13 year old kid on the practice putting green. And I'm wearing my son of a boy dad hat. Our new hat.
Ron
That was sick.
Dave
I wore it the whole week. And he goes, he goes, punting contest for your hat. Oh. And I was like, oh. I was like, do you know the pod? And he's like, oh yeah. Oh yeah. I'm like, you. You listen to son of a boy dad. He's like, I don't miss an episode. I'm like, dude, you're 13. Like that's. I. You can't. There can't be too many 13 year olds.
Francis Ellis
You'd be shocked. You'd be shocked that.
Dave
Listen to this.
Francis Ellis
It's mostly 13 year olds and girl it is. Dude, it is.
Ron
Now I've looked at the numbers. That would be devastating. But 13 year olds, all little boys listening to us.
Francis Ellis
No, we'd have to, we'd have to get like a food product that they could like buy.
Ron
Yeah.
Dave
Lunch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Francis Ellis
Like we need something.
Ron
Sassables
Francis Ellis
would be great. Imagine kids getting like a Capri sun and a premature cracker sandwich. That'll be so nice.
Dave
But then this kid was. Listen to how precocious.
Ron
What does that say, Tyler? 0.5% women or 13 year olds?
Francis Ellis
13 year olds.
Ron
Just got to make sure we're not putting out a kid's product.
Dave
What if your drive was fueled with
Ron
more like more protection for more time on the road? Shelby Power Nitro plus provides more protection for longer lasting engines.
Dave
So. So it helps you keep your engine
Ron
running like new for whatever drive is ahead. Shelby Power Nitro engine performance that lasts compare to minimum detergent gasoline. With continuous use of Shelby Power Nitro plus and gasoline direct injection engines, actual
Dave
effects and benefits may vary.
Ron
See shell us more protection for more information. Last year, 7% listener female, 7% female 0.13. All right, 0.1%.
Dave
So there you go. You might have met the one that's kid.
Ron
Yeah, that might be just that one. Yeah.
Dave
And I'm trying to think of what his name was. It was like Calvin or something like that. Anyway, so he. I'm like, all right, yeah, like, I'll. I'll. I'll do a put off with you for it. And then Frankie, he got Frankie to join too. And. And then he was like. He was like, actually, let's play for some money. Money. And I was like, what?
Francis Ellis
His white man can't jumping you?
Dave
And he's like, I got money. And I go, where do you have money from? And he goes, I day trade. I swear to God, Frankie can corroborate this entire story. And I was like, you. Is that even legal? You day trade?
Ron
That's crazy.
Dave
What are you talking about?
Ron
13 year olds.
Dave
And then he was the worst putter I've ever seen. We waxed him.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
We actually didn't win a single. I was like, I'm keeping hat.
Francis Ellis
Did he put up anything?
Dave
No. I mean, we were just like, I wanted to give him the hat, but, you know, you got to earn it. And I can't just let this kid who's like, you know, a day trader.
Francis Ellis
That was one of three. Hat too.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
One of three.
Ron
Yeah. That's crazy.
Dave
He was funny.
Francis Ellis
Day trading.
Ron
Never missed an episode.
Dave
Dude, Jerry was such a riot.
Ron
Oh, yeah.
Dave
But you know, he. I mean, I spent so much time with him. He's just like, you and Mook. Like, bush is his life.
Ron
Oh, he's obsessed.
Dave
You guys are. Dude, we get to. We get. We get to Oklahoma late. So we flew into Tulsa, and then it was an hour and a half drive from Tulsa into the middle of nowhere. Northwest or northeast Oklahoma. Right on the Missouri border. God, I can't speak at all. And we're like, we're looking for food. There's no. There's nothing open. We, like, passed the area that had food, and we were like, there's probably something closer.
Ron
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
Sure enough, there wasn't. We ended up going to eat dinner at a gas station that actually, like, wasn't horrible. And then as we are, it's. It's 10 minutes from the gas station to the course, and we pass a strip club called the Office.
Ron
Yeah, that's what it was. Right down Jerry's lane, the Office.
Dave
And I was like, oh, my God, Jerry he's like, they're not open on Tuesdays. He's like, they open Wednesdays to Saturdays. And I'm like, oh, my God. He's already done all the research. He knew the nearest strip club.
Francis Ellis
He's like one of those autistic people where you can be like, April 9, 1384. And he's like, it was a Tuesday.
Dave
Yeah. Charlene was dancing. She was wearing black panties. No, but so then we get to the hotel, we check in. It's late, dude.
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Dave
It's like. It's like the night watch lady.
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Dave
And I go get my key and blah, blah, blah. And then he comes up and he goes, I'm sorry, do you guys have any PCs here? And she's like, I'm sorry, what? He's like, do you have any, you know, personal computers? She's like, we have a business media center. But no, I don't think so. He's like, okay, well, I need to do some gaming. Like, he stays up till four in the morning gaming every night, and then he wakes up at 6.
Ron
Yeah, he wakes up early.
Dave
He sleeps two hours a night. Dude. That's it.
Ron
Yeah, dude. Like, he'll.
Dave
You're gonna live to 45 doing that. That's the life expectancy rate. The only other people have live like, that are like, Mozart.
Ron
Yeah, yeah.
Dave
And Benjamin Franklin, I think.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Or like Soldiers Under Siege. Like, you have to, like, your cortisol is through the roof.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Your blood pressure is, like, howling. It's like a teapot.
Ron
Yeah. I mean, he definitely. He doesn't really sleep. I mean, he's up. You're like, we'll play video. I mean, I usually get off first when we play video games. Like, I'm usually the first one to call it. And then him and Mook will stay on.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. You probably feel responsible as hell. Like, okay, boys, don't stay on too late.
Ron
Yeah, we played on Saturday night. We played late, and I think it was like 2am and Jerry. It was me, Mook, Jerry, and my buddy Peters.
Francis Ellis
And.
Ron
Yeah. And then Jerry just goes, boys, I got to be honest with you. I'm loving this session right now. I was like, I got to go to bed. It's way too late. Yeah. Yeah. Just buzzing. Apparently, Numbers is fighting a nasty fire.
Francis Ellis
Just saw that. Did you see that still photo of Nikki Numbers in front of a huge fire? Yeah. Like, billowing out of the window apparent.
Ron
Yeah. Jerry said he's been fighting it for 48 hours.
Francis Ellis
Yeah. But he had time to post for a Picture.
Dave
Yeah, I was going to say I'm all. I'm all for it, but I've learned that their numbers is a bit of a scam artist.
Ron
Oh yeah, with. Not with the fires.
Dave
Maybe not. They.
Ron
I could mean the photo that he posted. There's a massive flame flying out of the window.
Francis Ellis
If you could find a way to. Yeah, look, there he is.
Ron
Yeah, there he is.
Dave
Is.
Francis Ellis
That's so crazy that they got it and it's hitting his face perfectly. That's why you get furious.
Dave
Yeah.
Ron
Cuz they're seeing action. I don't think they see all that. I think it's a lot of just hanging around.
Francis Ellis
Can't be on the game.
Ron
Oh, I don't know. I don't have no idea.
Dave
Jerry. They. They didn't bring his. They gave him the wrong baggage or something like that.
Ron
Yeah, yeah, I saw that.
Dave
Where?
Ron
Twitter. Oh yeah, they posted a video of him with the no pants on.
Dave
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he texted our group. He's like, I got a disaster, everybody. I got no clothes.
Francis Ellis
What do they mean they gave him the wrong bag?
Dave
I don't know if they gave him the wrong bag or his bag just didn't arrive. But he didn't figure it out until we got to the hotel, which makes me think that he forgot a bag. He had the wrong golf bag. Do you know the story? Story?
Ron
No, no, I just saw the video.
Dave
Got it, Jerry. What do you mean?
Ron
What do you mean?
Dave
You got your pants.
Ron
You got no pants. You look good though. All said, come over here.
Francis Ellis
What you get on the airplane with?
Dave
Well, whatever the case may be.
Ron
Go to that picture.
Dave
Someone from the resort. Someone from the resort went all the way to the Tulsa airport and got his bag and brought it back.
Ron
Oh, nice.
Dave
And he was like, I got it. This woman doesn't have Zell. He's like, this woman doesn't have Zell. I can't give her a tip. Does anyone have any cash? I was like, I got cash. He's like, you got a lot of cash? I was like, yeah, I got a lot of cash. And he's like, you got 500? And I was like, I got 500. I give him 500 bucks and tips. Who to tip the woman.
Ron
The airport's an hour and a half away.
Dave
Went all the way to the airport to get him his bag and brought it back for him. And. And I give him 500 bucks and he sends me the money and then he goes, oh, Francis, you only gave me 400. And I'm like, oh, fuck. Sorry, hang on. And he goes. He goes, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You gave me five. But that's. That's a Nicky Numbers special right there. Oh, it was great.
Ron
No, he said that Nikki Numbers called him. So Nicky Numbers has been playing a lot of video games. And. And he said that he called Jerry and he was like, I need a new monitor. And Jerry was like, oh, yeah, you. Like, you should definitely get one. And he's like, the problem is I just can't swing it right now. And he's like, so you're just calling me asking you to buy you a monitor? And then he said that now he wants a. He wants a PC. He wants a computer.
Francis Ellis
Did he buy a monitor? Buy him one.
Ron
No, but he said that he's got
Francis Ellis
to buy him one. He said, let's dig into the budget.
Ron
We can't.
Francis Ellis
Why?
Ron
Apparently, Numbers is banned from the budget. What?
Francis Ellis
No Numbers.
Ron
Apparently all numbers travel has to come straight. It has got to come from Jerry, no one else.
Francis Ellis
Well, let's get Jerry a PC.
Ron
Jerry's got a PC.
Francis Ellis
No, but I'm saying let's get Jerry a PC.
Ron
Oh, yeah, I think they've worked on. They've tried that already.
Francis Ellis
Let's get Mooka PC.
Ron
Mook already has one.
Francis Ellis
Let's get Mooka PC.
Ron
I know they're working on it. They're working on getting Numbers One, but apparently the thing is that they don't know how to set it up trickle
Francis Ellis
down, you know what I mean? Nobody knows that Mook has a PC right now.
Dave
Dude, sometimes it really. I lose sense of this because we live in it. But I was telling a friend of mine recently, like, a story, and I was like, yeah, I was hanging out with Jersey Jerry, and he was telling me a story about Nicky Numbers. And Mook was laughing about it, and Lil Sass was like. And the guy was like, who are these fucking people?
Francis Ellis
Like, are you growing up on, like, a stoop in the 1930s? Are these news boys that you're dealing with? I mean, I think Jersey Jerry and
Ron
Nikki Numbers, the way that Numbers and Jerry talk about their childhood. Like, I think they did grow up on a stoop.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Ron
Like, they all have nicknames. They've all. They've all got, like, all their buddies. They're like.
Dave
And it's all alliteration Nick. Alliterative Nick. Nicknames. Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Little Sass would play Mooka Play Francis. Did you. What was. Did no one ever hit you with, like. I mean, Fran is Franny Fudge. Franny Fudge. Yeah, that's nice.
Dave
Franny. Fudge.
Francis Ellis
Franny. Fettuccine.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Not Irish enough or not Italian enough, though. I was. I spent some time with some Polish folks this weekend.
Ron
Really?
Francis Ellis
I was squad deep with some. Some polls in Greenpoint. It really is a Polish there. Really? To Greenpoint?
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
That's hard to get there.
Dave
Neighborhood, it's tough to get to.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, there's some. There's like. What's that bakery around there that's like. That has a monster line. Like it wraps around the entire neighborhood. What could they be selling that's that good?
Dave
Do you need to do that right now? I'm so hungry. Okay.
Francis Ellis
You went. You put that Pringle in upside down.
Ron
Happens.
Francis Ellis
You're supposed to put the flavorful side right onto the tongue or otherwise you're wasting it all.
Dave
The real artistry of the Pringle is not the sushi, it's the rice.
Francis Ellis
Yeah.
Dave
So you need to put the rice on your tongue. You got it all.
Ron
Don't matter how you eat it.
Dave
You are on a. I'm sorry. Please keep going.
Francis Ellis
There's no. There's no story here. I just spent some time with some. Some Polish people.
Dave
What are they like?
Francis Ellis
They're incredible. Except for their language. Just sounds like it's. It's like being rewound. It's like.
Ron
Oh, yeah, Icelandic.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, this is. But I mean, they're.
Ron
It sounds Icelandic, though.
Francis Ellis
They're. I think they just get a bad rap. The Italians and the Irish get soak up all the glory while the Polish people are the true backbone. The Italians and the Irish are just like flamboyant versions of the Polish. Polish people.
Ron
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Simple right down the middle.
Ron
No, hard in the. In the Jersey.
Francis Ellis
Jerry's French Jersey.
Dave
Jerry spent some time with some Polish people on Wednesday at the office.
Francis Ellis
They did?
Dave
Yeah. They knew their way around a Pole.
Francis Ellis
The polls.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
Very nice.
Dave
What was I going to say? You. You've been on a Pringle run the likes of which the world has never seen. No.
Ron
These were in here.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, right.
Dave
Yeah. I wonder why.
Ron
Because I brought them in here and I never opened them.
Dave
Bingo. You. You've got like emergency Pringles stashes?
Ron
Yeah, pretty much. Much.
Dave
What's. What is it about Pringles that you like more than other. Anything else. Any other food? Why is it. Why is Pringles.
Ron
No, I mean, it's. I just like chips and they're the best chip.
Dave
Are they?
Ron
By a mile.
Dave
Better than, you know, kettle baked or whatever the. They're called.
Francis Ellis
Kettle cooked.
Ron
Kettle baked.
Francis Ellis
There's baked. There's not even no chips.
Dave
I feel like I just like couldn't even expose myself to the cartel. I meant. No, I know. I know where. I know it doesn't go in your nose.
Francis Ellis
You just gave yourself away, Mr. Ellis.
Dave
Oh, here, here. I'll try. Come on. Would a. Would a narc actually eat the Pringles?
Ron
No, I mean like, like, look, I like a good Lays. I like a good ruffle. Ruts.
Francis Ellis
Ruts.
Dave
There is Kettle cook. What was wrong with you?
Francis Ellis
Kettle baked. There's baked and there's Kettle Cook baked. It's like 50 less fat kettle cook.
Ron
I love a good la.
Francis Ellis
More fat.
Ron
A good lays baked. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, but I know a lot of people are anti Lays. Specifically Big Cat.
Dave
Are they. They're too mass produced. Probably.
Ron
I don't know. We went Cape Cod.
Dave
I like. I like the Cape Codders.
Francis Ellis
There you go.
Ron
Cape Cod, of course, great. But Cape Cod, it's not a chip that you're just gonna casual like. That's. It's a very messy chip. Oh, that's Pringle. No dust.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, that's a clean one. That's probably.
Ron
It feels baked.
Francis Ellis
It has like a big quality to it.
Ron
Exactly.
Francis Ellis
But it is an. Also an orderly chip. You know how many Pringles you're going to get in the can every single time? It's not like you could. You could open up a Cape Cod. It could be 75 empty.
Ron
A little bit of air in here.
Francis Ellis
But Pringles, you're getting how many chips we think is in a Pringles?
Ron
If I had to guess, I would say 80 to 100 hundred.
Francis Ellis
We gotta count them out. I can't believe that there's any inconsistency. I thought it would be down to the number.
Ron
It has to be.
Dave
You know what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go find all your emergency Pringle stashes and I'm gonna shake the out of them.
Ron
Oh, that's fine. I don't mind.
Dave
Because you don't like messy. No, you said you didn't like them messy. That's what you like.
Ron
But if they're crushed up, you just drink them like it's like a fresh A cup.
Dave
You're not going to like that.
Ron
I've done it before. I'll do it again.
Dave
Yeah, in a pinch. Right. Which you can't do.
Ron
See, it looks like they've got the approximate amount or They've got approximately 60
Francis Ellis
chips in the Cape Cod bag. Cape cod, and there's 80 in the Pringles.
Ron
And I bet the Cape Cod costs more.
Francis Ellis
And it's a better quality chip in the Pringles. As far as the consistency of Pringle.
Ron
Nothing worse than when you get a bag of Pringle. You get a. You get a can of Pringles and they're all. They're all sideways ways. You're like, how did this happen? Can't even get him out.
Dave
Oh, man.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ron
All right.
Francis Ellis
Yeah, right.
Dave
I think I need to go to bed 38 hours right now.
Ron
All right, thank you guys all for listening. We will be back on Thursday. Trying to think if I've got anything to promote Moat.
Dave
I don't. By the way, San Francisco was awesome. Thanks, everyone.
Francis Ellis
The videos of that venue looked sick.
Ron
It was like a deep room.
Francis Ellis
And it was. It looked packed.
Ron
It's huge. It's like 400.
Dave
Yeah.
Francis Ellis
What kind of entrees did they have there? They had fish and chips.
Dave
No, quite literally a great Cobb salad, which makes sense.
Ron
How ironic.
Dave
You'd have to nail.
Ron
Isn't it ironic getting into League of Legends? That's my new thing. Mac Bad.
Dave
No, you don't want to do that.
Francis Ellis
Why not?
Ron
Apparently it like, takes over your life.
Dave
Yeah. People who play that game don't. It's like the most epic game, right?
Ron
I don't know. It's just been around forever. People have been playing it for. So there's so many different characters and that you got to memorize. It's like a strategy game, Right? Would you call it that? It's like chess. But you play as one of the people. Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
Well said. He said it's like.
Ron
Well, he plays Dota just like similar.
Dave
What's that?
Ron
The game that he plays, Dota 2. You play what?
Francis Ellis
The man's version.
Ron
Man's. Oh, yeah. Dota 2. I looked up. I looked up his. What's harder? And they said dota. And I was like, I'm going with League.
Dave
What about fantasy? What's the one Something Fantasy.
Francis Ellis
Fantasy Football.
Dave
Final Fantasy. Is that a game that's like another.
Ron
Doesn't know what that is. You do not know what this game is, Francis.
Dave
What do you mean? Why don't I.
Ron
Because you didn't have a PlayStation 4.
Dave
Is that that they only started on 4.
Ron
It's.
Dave
That's what it looked like. It's been around since 1997, Harry.
Ron
You might be right. I might be.
Dave
Wow.
Ron
I might be a fool. Well, we already ended the episode. This isn't going in earlier.
Francis Ellis
You should have bailed.
Ron
All right. Goodbye,
Dave
Sam.
This episode finds the crew in peak post-travel disarray. Lil Sasquatch, having recently dropped out of college, leans on his producer Rone and friends for guidance (and some much-needed comic perspective) on his attempts to “become a man”—or at least get a functional worldview. The conversation weaves through airport mishaps, sleep deprivation, moving pains, and the search for meaning (and furniture) in adult life, all with the group’s signature blend of self-deprecation, inside-jokes, and bone-dry wit.

This episode is a classic “hang” with the Son of a Boy Dad crew—effortlessly blending ridiculous life stories, urban malaise, self-satire, and deep-dive cultural riffs (with a side of sports heartbreak and snack food analysis). It’s an immersive ride for fans new and old, reassuring everyone that even if you’re out of college and feeling lost, laughing with your boys is a pretty good place to land.
