[B]

Yeah, probably.

[G]

Are you wearing special shoes or just yourself? Are you afraid you're going to. Brandon out there and.

[C]

Yeah. What's going to happen to Peter? Is he going to slip?

[B]

I think I'm going to be curling for like seven hours, so I think there's just no chance that I won't be slipping multiple times.

[C]

Worried if he doesn't have shoes, he's going to slip and not release the rock.

[A]

Brandon and I just talked to Pete.

[F]

Yeah, he has done that.

[A]

I thought he was an avid curler. No, he said the last time he curled was that video.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

So he didn't grow up curling.

[B]

No.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

He's like a porn addict who's never had sex.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

Curling community. Treat him like. You'll see people treat like football pundits that have never played. Just like. Yeah, bro's never thrown a rock. He's talking about.

[D]

This guy's never touched a rock.

[B]

I'm actually curious when he actually got like into curling.

[A]

Is this all fake?

[B]

No, I know it's real. I'm just wondering like what, what, what makes a person get hardcore into curling without playing curling?

[A]

That's one of those things you have to play.

[B]

Yeah, that seems like a sport you, you have to play or every four years you're like, oh yeah, I watched curling on Olympics.

[D]

I just fell in love with it. Watching an Olympics and then followed it afterwards.

[B]

Yeah, but that's crazy. It's such a boring. I don't know.

[C]

That John Schuster story was something that's one of the greatest Olympic redemptions of all time.

[D]

Oh, the.

[C]

John Schuster was the biggest choke artist in the history of sports. He was a clown. He, his face just invoked. Laughter. You saw John. Who is this John Schuster, the skip of the curling to the men's curling team.

[B]

2018 team.

[C]

This. I forget the years, but yeah, Peto back me up on this. He was like, like his face would appear on TV and it just involuntary you'd start laughing. You're like, this guy's going to it up. And then I remember he had the greatest redemption of all time and he won us the gold medal and he was like clutch as and doing it

[F]

this maybe this was like a national storyline.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

Like he's, he's, he's legitimately has. I think if, if what John Shuster did for curling he did for like basketball or track and field or something, it would be considered like one of the greatest redemption stories in Olympic history. He does look like a clown.

[B]

He looks like he should like, oh, he's such a loser. No, no, I, I, I don't mean

[C]

that immediately but like if you, if you made a movie about the US I misunderstood.

[F]

I'm sorry.

[B]

Yeah, no, I, I didn't mean it in a mean way. I, and I'm not talking about John Shuster specifically. I'm talking about a guy who looks like John Shoer. That's a guy who get, that's a guy who gets cheated on and isn't aware of it for like everyone in his town is aware. Everyone's like, dude, you know your wife is cheated on me. And he's just like, no, dude, that's not true. She just loves Pilates and she goes out with her friends for margaritas every night. It's like, dude, he's the last to find out that he's been great guy, great guy, dude. I would, I would go over to his house and ask him for any tool in his garage. He give it to me, no problem.

[A]

Not a funny bone in his body. You can tell.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

But he likes to laugh.

[A]

He loves to laugh.

[B]

You go. You go on.

[F]

Never gets to.

[B]

You go on vacation. You go on the vacation to the Bahamas for a week and you're like, hey, man, can you watch my house? I'm going to be going on vacation. And also your wife is there, too, weirdly. He'll watch your house. Yeah.

[F]

He'll make you like an upside down cake. Yeah. Eat the cake.

[D]

Like, that's weird.

[B]

My wife's going to the Bahamas, too. By herself. Oh, yeah. We need to get Peted here for John Schuster. So he want us to cold.

[C]

He. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was. He was. I'm trying to put in football. Let me think about football terms, like if. If Zach Wilson was the MVP of the league in, like, two years.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, he was. Maybe it's not even Sam Darnold.

[C]

No, it's not even that.

[D]

It's worse.

[C]

Like, it's. It's. Yeah. Like. Like when I turn on curling, the year we won the gold medal, and I saw that it was going to be the same guys, I was like, these clowns again.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

We can't send anybody better than these guys. And then they won gold. It was crazy.

[G]

So he's not a confetti curler. You can't picture him. But he is.

[C]

But then he won gold and he was clutch, as in doing it. Yeah.

[E]

Is he still curling?

[C]

No, I think he's. I think he's done. Google says he's not. He's not there at this level forever.

[F]

John Summit is.

[B]

Get in here.

[F]

That is John Summit's name as well.

[B]

Oh, yeah, it is.

[E]

Oh, wow.

[D]

John Schuster. Pete.

[C]

I was telling him the. The John Shuster redemption story.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

It's one of the great Olympic stories.

[B]

Sporting stories.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

Right. Repeat. Is this the. Is this 2018 gold? Is this the thing turning around?

[D]

Quite the belly, Pete.

[F]

Yes.

[B]

He's getting fat easy.

[D]

Quite the belly.

Not Buzz Frank.

[I]

[D]

Quite the belly.

[I]

You know your. Do you know you're fatter than Frank?

[D]

Well, I'm not.

[I]

You are.

[D]

No, because he weighed in at 278 yesterday. I've shot a pound and a half this week, so I'm at 276.8. So I got him by £2.

[A]

So that races on.

[I]

Great.

[I]

The 2018 Olympics. Men that won gold, gold medal. The movie is it. They're making a movie, right?

[B]

Yeah, I got offered to be in that movie.

[D]

What's happening?

[B]

No, I'm not.

[A]

John, if you were playing Shuster, saying everything. Have you done anything for it yet?

[B]

No, I have to go somewhere in like a few weeks.

[D]

Wait, were you wrong?

[B]

I might have actually just ruined. I might not be in it anymore.

[F]

Are you playing yourself?

[B]

No, I. I can't remember. It's like a sportscaster, so I guess kind.

[F]

Oh, cool.

[G]

Wait, a curling movie?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

They are making a movie about this?

[B]

Yeah, some good actors in it.

[A]

How are we just talking about this? Realize you're in the movie.

[D]

I asked, you're in a movie.

[C]

How did you. I'm explaining the story of the movie that out to be in.

[B]

Because they were. Doesn't know. I didn't really know. They were just like, oh, yeah, there's this movie. Do you want to be in? And I was like, I guess. And then they're like, it's about curling. And I didn't connect the dots.

[A]

That's one dog to connect.

[C]

There was.

[B]

I didn't know it was John Schuster.

[D]

You're just getting setting his chain it on.

[A]

You're gonna have to see this man. Probably.

[B]

No, absolutely no.

[F]

I don't think Schuster's gonna be set.

[B]

Yeah, you know what?

[I]

You know what gonna be there.

[B]

I'll say it to his face. Because knowing by his face, he'd be like, oh, thank you so much for the compliment.

[A]

You're a riot.

[B]

Yeah, my wife is actually attractive.

[D]

Where is she? All right, wait.

[B]

So, Pete, back to John Schuster in the curling. When did you become a curling fanatic?

[I]

2006.

[I]

Yeah, I've been watching for 20 years.

[A]

20 years of watching Curly and.

The Olympics before that. I was telling them. It's. He was.

[E]

2014.

[C]

He was a joke. He's a clown. He. But every time it's like, this is a big spot for Schuster. He would it up.

[D]

Right.

[I]

You won't get. You won't catch me saying that. But other. Other people have said that. That the team was not very competitive in. In 2010, 2014.

[D]

Oh, were they?

[B]

Is he still the skip?

[I]

He's a skip.

[D]

Oh, he is.

[I]

They did not make the. You play in a tournament? All the best U.S. teams play in a tournament to go to the Olympics. And this year, Team Casper won, so he did not make the Olympics.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

How many teams are there, like.

[I]

Like viable teams in the US to make the Olympics is what you're asking?

[B]

Yeah, it's just. I would say three or four. One curling club in Minnesota?

[I]

No, there's. There's hundreds of curling clubs all over the.

[B]

But where's the team? Where are the teams coming from?

[I]

They all. If you're. If you're Olympic caliber, you're training in Minnesota.

[B]

Oh, so I was right. Thank you. So why'd you have attitude?

[I]

Because they don't. They're not from.

[B]

It's one. There's one curling club in Minnesota.

[I]

No, no, they go to the. The home of USA Curling in Duluth. Train. It's not a curl. It's not even a curling club.

[D]

Certainly not.

[I]

It's a home of USA Curling.

[F]

Okay, but what is this double touch accusation?

[G]

Mark Kennedy was letting go and then giving a little tap on, he told

[D]

the Swedes to fuck off.

No, this is John Schuster.

[I]

And then he told.

[D]

Oh, Schuster did it.

[B]

He got double tapped.

[F]

He double touched in 2018, I think.

[I]

I think people are finding instances in which people's hands are grazing the granite on the release.

[B]

We will be double touching tonight.

[I]

We need all the help we can get, apparently.

[B]

Correct.

[C]

You don't. You don't. You don't play.

[I]

I've never. No, just the one time. Don't. Don't play.

[B]

[A]

I suppose you've been a fanatic for 20 years. And do you have the desire to play more?

[I]

Yeah, I do. I'm just busy.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

He's Schuster. That's right.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like a P1 gold medal tonight.

[B]

He's got to win the gold. Do you just watch it every four years or is there.

[I]

No, there's ways to.

[D]

I've seen this motherfucker watching curling World Championships at his desk.

[I]

World World Championships. I have an illegal stream that allows me to watch tsn, which is Canadian, that has the Canadian National Championships on it and some other stuff. Watch the US National Championships and wherever I can find it.

[B]

I want. Don't you think that this sport would be better if it was on clay with balls and a bunch of fat Italian guys arguing?

[I]

No. Gosh, no.

[B]

Okay. Because I do.

[I]

No.

[B]

I would much rather watch.

[I]

Nobody would watch that. Even a. Is that even an Olympic sport?

[B]

Once again, you're such an awesome Olympic sport if it was only fat Italian dudes.

[G]

Are you tracking on the old guy this time? Oh, the oldest Olympian right now is on the US Curling team. And he's normally an ambulance chasing lawyer.

[D]

How old is he?

[G]

56.

[D]

I don't root for an ambulance chasing lawyer.

[G]

And he does all the grocery. He lets the youngs on the team sleep in. He does their grocery shopping. He makes them steaks. After win. He makes omelets for breakfast.

[B]

He's like, so wait, when you curl you just have to be a cuck.

[A]

I think you have to be a cuckold.

[F]

She's like a very lovely man.

[I]

2006, he's the alternate.

[D]

Got cooked.

[I]

He's the alternate. So he's there to support the team. He's like another coach and he steps in. But he did after they were getting out.

[B]

Rich Ruhan.

[D]

Yeah, I don't want to root for him.

[G]

Why not?

[A]

I can't root.

[D]

One call, that's all.

[G]

Rich, that's cool that he's. This guy is in the Olympics.

[B]

Pete, why can't we get you in the Olympics?

[I]

It's very hard.

[B]

It can't be that hard.

[I]

It is very you will you.

[A]

A 56 year old man who has a full time job as an attorney is in.

[G]

Yeah.

[I]

He worked very hard to, to, to get there.

[B]

I feel like if you, you know the, the old Malcolm Gladwell10,000 hours like becoming.

[I]

I think he took that back. Did he take that back?

[B]

He might have taken that back. But I think, I think curling, it's much time. Curling's got to be like three hours. Once you do it for three hours, we'll see.

[A]

[I]

How got into it? I don't know,

[B]

23, 25, 23. Prime of your life. And you're like, I'm gonna watch Curly.

[I]

We're all just watching the Olympics. It was on. It was one of the first times that they started to put it on the cable channels. Like, it used to just be three hours of figure skating on NBC.

[C]

And then I think that's what it was on. Like, they just became multiple channels.

[I]

Yeah. On all. Like, it was on Bravo, was on E. It was on usa. It was on, like everything that they had.

[B]

But you. You started watching it. Like, you. Was there ever a moment in your 20s where you're like, I want to go out tonight, but curling's on.

[I]

No. Because I'll tell you what, in the. In the. From 2006 to, like 2016, it was very hard to find curling outside of the Olympics. Like, I had to really work at it. There was a channel called like Universal HD that would sometimes have it, but nobody had that. Yeah.

[B]

Passionate Curly guy.

[G]

Yeah.

[I]

I mean, it was.

[D]

You don't seem to enjoy anything.

[I]

I don't enjoy much now, but isn't

[B]

it perfect that he enjoys the most? Like, boring sport.

[A]

It's perfect. Do you get amped up when you watch it?

[F]

Like.

[I]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Are you respected in the community?

[I]

I. I don't know.

[B]

Oh, no. I mean, did you. That was. Dave took a shot at you with that.

[I]

Yeah. That's what he does.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

But you were doing, like for curling.

[B]

Find that sweet.

[F]

Those are decent number you were getting.

[B]

No, I don't know.

[I]

Like, I'm just. I'm like a nobody.

[C]

Like, like.

[I]

And then nobody's really reacting to the curling stuff.

[A]

Of any Curly fan, you have to have the most followers. You could potentially be the curling.

[B]

It's. You could.

[C]

I don't know, Brandon, have.

[I]

There's other.

[C]

Have the on three guy compile.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

25.

[E]

Curling probably have more followers than the players.

[A]

I would agree.

[C]

Oh, absolutely.

[I]

That's possible. But they're not they're not like, I'm not influencing curling people because they're all just people that hate me and tell me to drink, you know, drink what.

[C]

What.

[E]

You know, what is in your.

[F]

Oh, is it really we will be doing.

[B]

Come tonight. Oh, wow.

[D]

You've really got you keeping it warm. The US Women had a big win a couple hours ago.

[I]

A huge.

[D]

I didn't hear you make a noise.

[B]

Oh, we're still in it.

[I]

I was in. We made it. We made the playoffs.

[C]

Almost choked, though.

[I]

I was in a meeting.

[D]

Cameras off, like, oh, you're actually holding meetings during the curling.

[I]

Yeah, it's got to work.

[B]

So you don't really love curling.

[I]

Got to work.

[D]

I mean it's a two week period where you could just say, hey, meetings will happen.

[B]

All business. Pete setting the world on fire with his curling commentary. Crazy interaction. This was mean.

[A]

It's.

[I]

People don't need to interact. They just informed.

[B]

Check. Skip throws his first stone straight through the house. And we force a single down. 5, 4. But we have. Have hammer in the 8th. 4 likes.

[F]

But that's viral in the big number.

[I]

That's play by nuclear.

[B]

Like, we're not going.

[I]

We're not going for big numbers. This is just. Just to inform people. We want to grow the game. We want to get people watching. We want them to know what's going on.

[G]

What are some of the lingo. What do you. How do you pick that up? Just watching or you just watch it? Google it.

[A]

Do you have a favorite team outside of the Olympics?

[I]

Like outside of Team usa?

[A]

Yeah, like, like a team. Like in other leagues. Is there a professional league or is the Olympics.

[I]

They've tried to kind of get leagues going.

[B]

Oh, and what happened?

[I]

I think it's not great. It's tough, Tough market out there. There's no figure skate. You guys watch figure skate? You guys watch?

[B]

I don't watch. This is what it is. I'm keeping the same energy for all those.

[I]

Yeah, this is what it is.

[C]

It's.

[B]

It's.

[I]

It's great. It's fun to have four years. It's fun to have everybody pay attention. I still want to win. Like, I'd love to win a medal in the worlds coming up. Like, I'd love. Like, when are those the. In, like late. This is the other problem with curling. The season is like from super bowl through March Madness. And that's another tough time to like get people to care.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

So there's the national championship might be directly up against March Madness. And then the finals might be up

[B]

where Is the national championship. Why don't we send you all in Minnesota. I'd like to send you.

[F]

Is there.

[A]

I would love to see a Pete

[I]

man on the street.

[F]

Yeah, I would like to see. I would declines Pete compete the.

[I]

Oh, yeah, you'd like to see what?

[D]

Transpeat.

[F]

Compete Trans. Pete, what is that you as a. A woman.

[D]

Yeah. You become a woman and then I become a woman.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't.

[I]

But I. I become like I have to fully transition.

[B]

Correct.

[F]

Right.

[I]

Okay.

[F]

But then you do worse. Oh, in the women's division.

[I]

Yeah. Worse than what?

[B]

Oh, Pete starting like a. Oh, is

[F]

it all co Ed?

[I]

No, the mix. There's mixed doubles, which happens entirely before the men and the women. And then the men and women play kind of together at the same time.

[A]

The gender has to not really matter what I was.

[B]

Are they smaller stones?

[I]

No, same. Same everything.

[D]

Oh, are we better? Are the men better?

[I]

Are the men like.

[D]

Are the men better curlers than the women?

[J]

If the.

[I]

If the men play. That's an interesting question.

[B]

Not Peter.

[D]

The men better.

[B]

Curly Better. I would say.

[G]

No, you don't have to answer that.

[I]

People, I think they have different. They have different shots. I'd say they have.

[D]

If the men's gold medalists play the women's gold medals, who's winning?

[I]

I think it depends on the team.

[D]

Well, they're both goldmetals.

[B]

Well, that's such a non answer.

[C]

I know.

[E]

Just say the man two.

[D]

Best winning. Best men's team. Best one.

[I]

I'd say either team could win.

[B]

I would love Pete either team be at the center of a political firestorm. Being like, this man has ruined women's crowing. No, I love the Riley Gaines. This is curling.

[I]

This is the way the US Women have. The have the opportunity to win the first women's medal in U. S. Olympic history.

[D]

Do you get the same joy out of watching women's curling as you do men's curling?

[I]

Yes. Why don't you absolutely support them both business Both equally.

[B]

Hank the other day said that he would dominate women's slalom. That's crazy.

[E]

Did he?

[B]

I saw that clip.

[A]

That's the hardest one you could have ever picked.

[D]

Yeah. Such a fall.

[B]

What sport would you dominate? He's like, women slalom. I'd go left, right, left, right, done.

[I]

He would just all down the hill.

[C]

I mean, it's like gravity's doing most of the work.

[B]

Such a great, great rage. Bait take.

[H]

Yeah.

[A]

Is there a chance we put together? Well, how much is a team? Four people.

[I]

Four.

[A]

Four dudes in here. That Trained for a week. If they play the men's US Olympic team 10 times.

[I]

Yeah, they would. Yeah, they would score zero points.

[B]

No, that's not true.

[I]

In 10 games, they would score.

[B]

That's not true.

[I]

It's very true.

[F]

I agree.

[B]

I would throw last once, and I would. I would knock off.

[I]

Because you wouldn't get it in.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

With row last once, and you wouldn't get it in.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

By the 10th time, he knows how to throw it a little bit. He's learned.

[I]

You would score zero points.

[B]

All right, well, so we're screwed tonight.

[I]

That's what everyone is telling me.

[C]

You got sweet.

[D]

I mean, everybody's telling you you have

[I]

the best sweepers in this building.

[A]

We got maintenance.

[I]

No K, Dick and Dana.

[C]

Oh, big boys. They're gonna be sleeping.

[B]

Wait, what do we have to do?

[I]

We have to get. I guess between me, you, and Tate, we have to get 10 rocks in the house. The bullseye.

[B]

Wait, which bullseye?

[I]

No, the whole thing is 12ft.

[B]

This is gonna take, like, a minute.

[A]

It'll be a 15 minute stream.

[G]

Does the sweeping actually do anything?

[I]

Yeah, absolutely.

[G]

Like, really? Really? And it melts the ice?

[H]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[I]

The ice is pebbled. So a guy walks with, like, a little hose thing in the beginning and sprays little droplets of ice, turns into pebbles. That's what allows. As it goes over. That's what allows the stone to move as it, like, goes over the pebbles. When you sweep, you knock the pebbles down, so it makes it go straighter and farther.

[D]

But Dana and Katie don't know how to sweep.

[I]

But you just need weight because it's.

[F]

You're.

[I]

You're just. You're shaving down the. The pebbles. So you just.

[D]

You just don't think there's a world where they just get off kilter a little bit and steer it all the way.

[B]

So we don't have the best sweepers.

[D]

We should have gotten Brandon. Well, yeah, no, I'm already. I work out in the morning.

[I]

Okay, you do?

[D]

276, 8.

[I]

276, 8.

[B]

Only hanging.

[I]

We'll get a call into Frank this

[D]

afternoon and see 276.

[E]

Can you compare how hard tonight's stream will be with a sport people actually, like. Like a feat from another sport?

[I]

Yeah, I think, like, it was similar to the hole in one, like the chipping one.

[E]

So you think it'll be just as hard as I think.

[D]

I'm not saying 50 hours through the night.

[B]

Yeah, I know.

[I]

Yeah.

[D]

And by through the night, you mean

[B]

till, like, I'll I'll give it till midnight. So that's. I didn't think I signed up for 24.

[I]

There's a part of me that thinks that it's not going to. We'll be able to dial it in.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. Dude, it's just curling.

[B]

Easy.

[I]

Yeah, but everyone's telling me it's not. And then.

[B]

Well, actually, I don't know. I'm worried about you because you're a choke artist.

[F]

Right?

[D]

Who are these? Everyone? Pete, I thought you were everyone.

[I]

No, the guy at the. At the curling club that we're going to said that what the guys will do, you know, however many people, they'll. They'll put five bucks in and they'll try to shoot eight in a row. And then if you miss, you go. The Next guy puts five in and they go like 30 times. And these are like good curlers trying to do eight in a row.

[D]

And.

[I]

And they can't do it. Do we clear them after we miss? So they can. They stay while we're doing in ten in a row.

[B]

So then you can hit them out.

[I]

Yeah, hit them out if you go. But it could also hold it.

[B]

Like if any piece of it is in, is it in?

[D]

And.

[I]

Yeah, curling rules is any part of the rock that's over the bullseye would count.

[D]

So if you have.

[B]

So it could be a like 90% out. Correct.

[D]

But as long as you have nine in and your tenth one goes in. But easiest one out the back.

[I]

Yeah, that would be a fail.

[D]

Oh yeah.

[I]

So now you're starting to think it's hard.

[D]

That's gonna. Yeah, that sounds kind of hard. I thought you were guys. I thought you were curling. One got it in. Move it out of the way.

[I]

They're all gonna stay in.

[D]

Well, that's. That might be impossible.

[I]

Yeah. So that's what everyone.

[D]

Cuz you're gonna do it too hard and it's gonna.

[B]

Well, me?

[I]

Yeah. I didn't ask you to do this, by the way. They, like, they just told me.

[B]

Well, no, they were like, hey, Pete wants to curl. And I was like, yeah, yeah.

[I]

I told him no, like 19 times.

[A]

You should drop out 19 times.

[B]

No, I'm in. I'm in. I'm in it.

[H]

Is it going to be like re. Sodded? Like, is. Is this gonna. Is stamina gimmick for our big boys?

[D]

Sodded?

[I]

I. I think we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to limit their reps for sure. Like, they're.

[D]

We're not.

[B]

We need to bring a backup big boy. Should we make Deutsch come. I think we need a backup, big boy.

[D]

I think Deutsche would be incredible as your replacement.

[B]

Deutsche Deutsch is coming.

[I]

Okay.

[C]

You don't need to sweep every time.

[I]

That's what I'm saying. Like, we don't have a sweep every time.

[C]

Yeah, you don't have to.

[I]

If we need a little extra, like, do that. If we need to try to get it in on the side, do that. But we can't have them. We can't have them sweeping every time. They're gonna die.

[C]

I'm gonna commit social suicide and say something that I never thought I'd say live on the air. I. I have Pete's back. I love curling. I love curling. Yeah. Not to. Not to the level you do, but I set an alarm and woke up to watch John.

[F]

Oh, my.

[J]

Did know who.

[C]

I love it. I will watch. If I wasn't working this job, I would be home every single day watching curling.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely.

[C]

During the winter. But I don't. I wouldn't watch it.

[I]

Most people are. Are not courageous enough to say that. Most people feel that way, but they won't say it.

[D]

I don't. No, I disagree with that. I don't think a lot of people.

[I]

I think every. Like, everybody does.

[D]

I don't.

[A]

I think deep down, you're not.

[C]

It's. There's something mesmerizing about it. The sounds.

[B]

If I had time.

[C]

I cool the rocks now.

[F]

I'm open to it.

[D]

I don't mind the sounds.

[B]

Yeah, I had time. I had some time to watch them play. So slow.

[D]

They'd be yelling, though.

[J]

Hard.

[I]

It moves pretty good.

[C]

They hard. Play clock. Gotta get a heart. Like a snap count.

[I]

Like, just.

[B]

Yeah.

[J]

Hard, hard.

[D]

Oh, God, I hated that.

[I]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, that's what they yell to make him sweep faster.

[I]

Yeah.

[D]

When he said it sucked.

[I]

Yeah, we're gonna work on that.

[B]

Peter, you ready for the punishments?

[I]

I was not aware there were punishments.

[B]

Yeah, I told you that yesterday.

[I]

Yeah, well, you were talking about taking our shoes off.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

That seems dangerous. Oh, but, yeah, I'm not ready for the punishment. So I guess that's the answer to your question.

[C]

Are you introducing punishments right out of the gate?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

No, we're gonna.

[B]

So like I said, we're gonna do every thousand dollars we sell in Stella Blue Coffee.

[D]

We'll.

[B]

We'll spin the wheel. Half of the wheel is going to be. I pick someone from the chat. They get 200 bucks. I'll Venmo them. Half the wheel is going to be punishments. Yeah.

[C]

This Might be hard, Pete.

[I]

Yeah, I mean, I'm not looking.

[A]

10 rocks in a 12 foot.

[B]

Listen, if the punishments make it. If we're already have no chance and the punishments make it even more of no chance, we'll just switch the wheel to just giving money away.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

Which people won't complain about that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, they will.

[B]

Yeah, they probably will.

[F]

They will.

[B]

You guys, what else is going on? Pete Give any dogs back recently?

[I]

Nope, just. I did. I think I did the one that we had to give back. Still in the shelter.

[B]

Oh my God.

[I]

Dog.

[E]

But at least lie.

[I]

Yeah, it's not dead. I think it's alive. But it's in the shelter.

[A]

It probably thinks of your home every.

[I]

Yeah, well, it's. I mean, it was way out of line. Way out of line.

[B]

What do you do on like a. Like if there's no curling or eagles football, what do you do on like a Tuesday night?

[I]

Oh, no, nothing. I just go to bed.

[B]

Like, do you turn on the tv?

[I]

Maybe, maybe not.

[D]

All right. What are you doing?

[B]

You just like, I just tuck your kids in and then you just close your eyes.

[I]

Tuck the kids in, take the dog out, sit on the couch for like,

[B]

let out like really long sigh.

[I]

30 minutes. Yeah. And then go to bed at like 9:30, 9, 45.

[A]

What's like your biggest fantasy?

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Do you think about things like your past or your future?

[B]

Like.

[I]

No, just present.

[A]

Yeah.

[I]

It's just like, oh, we gotta get up and grind it out tomorrow.

[B]

Like, don't take this the wrong way, but I think I'd kill myself.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Like, I.

[I]

It's probably. It's pretty heroic, you know, you are silent.

[A]

You're an absolute.

[B]

Yeah, you are.

[H]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Get up and put one foot in front of the other every day.

[I]

How do we get barstool to the next step? How do we get the next deal? How do we. Like, like.

[A]

You're the strongest man I've ever met.

[B]

How many times do you laugh a week? I don't know.

[I]

A couple maybe.

[B]

Do you schedule them in?

[I]

No, they, you know, slip out here and there.

[A]

Are you embarrassed when that happens or pissed?

[I]

No, no, no, I'm not suppressing. I'm not suppressing anything.

[C]

Just is what it is.

[F]

You get really excited about dinner.

[I]

A good dinner. I. I like.

[A]

You like, good sometimes.

[E]

Okay.

[I]

Yeah.

[B]

What do you eat for dinner?

[I]

My wife will. Will sometimes text me the pictures of dinner on the way home.

[C]

Oh.

[I]

And if it's a good one, I'm like.

[A]

Fun fact about me is I like, good,

[D]

love it.

[A]

What are your thoughts on bad dinner?

[I]

Yeah, I mean, there's never really a bad dinner. There's just, like, less good.

[B]

But Are you eating a baloney sandwich every day still?

[I]

No, No, I don't do that anymore.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

Do you ever roller coaster?

[B]

No.

[G]

Roller coaster guy.

[I]

I don't. I'm, like, too big for roller coasters. They just jack up my back.

[G]

When's the last time you felt like this?

[I]

I did. I went to Disney a couple years ago, and I like the Tower of Terror.

[G]

Okay.

[I]

Because it was just straight down, and it's kind of like you're everything.

[G]

Is there any picture of you experiencing joy?

[I]

I believe there is.

[A]

Your profile picture. You said the last time you were happy.

[I]

Yeah, last time.

[B]

I think you still go to your lake house. It's not your lake house.

[I]

Yeah. Going this weekend.

[B]

Oh, you are? Yeah. Still staying in the. In the guest bedroom?

[I]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Hell, yeah.

[B]

Who's that?

[C]

I don't know.

[G]

Pete, what's that?

[B]

That is just, like, the knot.

[F]

Yeah, we've.

[D]

That's white.

[B]

That's a completely different guy.

[I]

Yep.

[G]

That is a different guy.

[A]

No, that's him.

[D]

That's not you.

[G]

What is that?

[I]

I'd. It was on my friend's boat and, like, in the Elizabeth Islands, I think, off Cape Cod. And then they knocked my sunglasses off into the water. So we got Scuba tank and I went down and fished him out. And I was happy about that.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

And that's the last time you were happy.

[C]

Look at that big cat.

[A]

It's a hyphen.

[C]

Oh, look at that.

Smile.

[D]

Good.

I mean, I just wasn't fat. I don't think I was in shape.

[B]

I do kind of like your. Your shape now, where it's just. You're just belly.

[F]

Yeah, working on it.

[B]

I'm working on it.

[C]

Do you ever dream of accomplishing, like, things that you. You probably won't, but, like, wouldn't that be cool if I did?

[I]

No.

[G]

Okay.

[B]

Pete, I'm going to make a deal with you right now. Right now. It's ten minutes. Shoes off.

[D]

That's. I.

We'll go to five. We'll go to five. But you have to do something.

[I]

It's dangerous.

[B]

Five minutes. We'll go five minutes. Shoes off. But you got to do something for me.

[I]

I mean, I'm not gonna blindly agree to that.

[B]

It's not. It's totally innocuous.

[A]

Yeah. All right.

Pete, what are you.

[D]

Man, you said long socks, and I had them, like, up to here.

[F]

Me too.

[B]

Holy.

[D]

Can't stop looking at him.

[B]

Oh, man. All right, people, I'm excited for the stream tonight.

[A]

Put him back onto your desk. I'd love to see you walk away.

[B]

We saw.

[D]

That was one of my favorite moments in a while.

[B]

Seriously, that was.

[I]

What else you guys got going on today?

[H]

That's it.

[D]

Not a whole lot.

[B]

We're probably gonna make fun of those for about 25 more minutes.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Do you feel like a.

[C]

Like what?

[B]

What do you feel when you put those on in the morning?

[E]

I'd rather have blood spots.

[B]

You're right.

[I]

What do you. What's the problem? What's the difference? What does it matter?

[B]

You don't have blood clots.

[A]

What does it matter?

[I]

If you, like, if it's up to here.

[B]

What? You have cake.

[F]

That's a lot.

[G]

I just. It was just a surprise.

[B]

You're wearing fucking tights, dude. All right, have fun.

[D]

Thank you, Pete, so much, Pete.

[B]

Looking forward to hanging out with you tonight.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Oh, what a reveal.

[D]

I know.

[B]

I had no idea they were that long.

[A]

Those belong on a mantle.

[F]

No one expected

[G]

the kind of lady attaches with a garter belt.

[A]

I want to see what his sock drawer looks like. They have to be like this.

[F]

Oh, I'm so glad he. He wears those socks.

[B]

He's so perfectly. Yeah, like that's just such a thing. You have blood clots, history. But no but you gotta. You gotta be ready.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

He's the realest G we got.

[B]

He really is.

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

He just never strayed from himself.

[B]

Dude. The highlight of his week, he's just. He's just the. The best moment in Pete's week every single week is him driving home with his stockings on and getting a text from his wife because she made a casserole good dinner. And he's like, yes,

[F]

eat it. All right. End my day.

[C]

I'm just now thinking back all the times I've seen him, he's had those socks.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

If you were fully pants, that would be the most embarrassing Ye.

[B]

I think it would be less embarrassing if he was wearing a bra.

[I]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yes.

[G]

A condom.

[B]

Yeah, condom for his legs.

[E]

There just has to be a better way to prevent blood.

[B]

I can't believe, man.

[D]

The first one, when it got unsheathed,

[A]

he unzipped his pants and then you just immediately saw a saw. It didn't change a thing.

[F]

Something about those socks evoke such a strong emotion.

[B]

It's so funny.

[C]

That's what the Raiders wear when they play in cold weather.

[B]

About. Yeah, when there's a story about like, usually they take £2,000 of. Of gear. This week they've taken 6,000 to Kansas City. It's all the socks.

[E]

That was. That was the opposite of Clark Kent showing like the Superman logo under.

[B]

Holy. We thought you were a loser. Not that big of a loser. He's cross dressing.

[F]

It's the opposite of Clark.

[G]

And they're compression, right?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[G]

So at night when he takes them off, it's like when an old person takes off their sock and you see the mark.

[B]

He's got the red. Oh, it's like. It's like dumping off his bra at night. He's like, oh, finally.

[E]

Scratches.

[G]

He's feeling him down for five minutes.

[B]

My dogs are barking.

[G]

He's got sock marks till 2am the

[A]

fact that they were black over white socks. They were the darkest black socks. Oh, sexy.

[B]

He looks like. Yeah, he looks like a five year old going to his first soccer game. He's got shin guards under those things.

[E]

Petey Longstock.

[B]

Oh, yeah. They do like the one throwback night in MLB

[D]

Cy Young socks.

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

I got.

[B]

I got Ty Cobb socks right here.

[G]

You know how you guys sold do rags in the barstool store for a while. Can we sell just long.

[A]

That was peon not us.

[B]

Oh my. We never saw would like to put Pete socks in the store.

[D]

Those are like you reserve those for

[E]

like one time a year when you're going to a Bears game and it's negative 20.

[B]

Right. And I even still I wouldn't wear them.

[E]

Right.

[B]

I wouldn't show anybody. I I just wear wool socks. I would never show never those. I wouldn't wear those for care.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

For money. Lose a bet. Like if they said to you hey the fantasy punishment this year is you got to wear these socks all year. Be like I'm out. Out of the league.

[A]

No chance.

[B]

Not doing that.

[A]

Just can you just hit my ball?

[B]

Yeah. I'd rather live in a waffle house.

[F]

Please.

[A]

Imagine punch my balls. That's like.

[E]

That's a step for him every morning.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Puts those.

[B]

Yeah. Wakes up a little earlier.

[F]

You think he puts them on first?

[B]

Yeah, he's definitely. He's got his tighty whities in those socks. Oh man.

[E]

And they come off last at night.

[B]

If a kid plays ding dong ditch at Pete at like the. At 9:45 at night, you're going to see tighty whities in those socks.

[G]

That's. You have a memory of your dad going down to the fridge late at night that's like burned into your mind.

[B]

And he didn't realize we were when he was like what else you got going on? Like you just gave us the next 15 minutes, dude.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

I mean no wonder he didn't want to take off his shoes tonight.

[A]

What's the process of putting those on? Does he have to stand hand?

[B]

I don't know.

[F]

Just a wiggle on his like his wife pool like a hockey.

[B]

He's on the bed.

[D]

All right kids. You grab a leg.

[G]

He has a device that lowers him in every morning.

[B]

Do you think like his kids are going to school every day being like I hope today's not the day they find out about my dad. Today's the day.

[D]

Oh man.

[F]

I love how those socks have such a universal reputation. Everyone feels the same way about it.

[B]

Can we see the reveal again?

[G]

Right.

[B]

Oh man, what a moment.

[E]

Dressed like Black Swan.

[B]

He just all. He might be one of our highest hit rate guests. Oh easily like cuz he's only. Only probably been on 15 times in the eight years we doing it every Time.

[D]

It's just we miss a lot with him being in New York.

[A]

Uhoh.

[D]

Oh boy. Oh, they probably haven't been on.

[B]

Oh, look. Oh my God.

[D]

All you see is knee.

[H]

It's just me.

[B]

Like I actually credit to Pete I would never in a million years have taken off my, my pants. Like never. That's something you take to the grave.

[I]

I think he did say I got my socks.

[B]

Yeah, you got socks.

[F]

We thought he meant regular.

[B]

Yeah, we thought he meant regular long socks.

[F]

Nike Elites.

[C]

Yeah, he pulled his socks up to his knees and then put on his convertible pants over top. Yeah, that's how he got ready this morning.

[B]

He's always wearing the convertibles.

[G]

The same pants every convertibles.

[E]

Yeah, he packed those.

[B]

Those pants were cool for like one month in 20, like 12. Like look, you can make them shorts stuck with them. He's like, I got him.

[D]

Man, Pete, what a great day.

[B]

[D]

Oh man. I don't know what we do now.

[B]

Yeah. Brandon and I completed day three.

[D]

Three we did.

[A]

You guys are getting significantly better.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And more synchronized.

[B]

And more synchronized. And we added.

[H]

Look at this.

[D]

We have Jacob and jeans.

[B]

We were trending yesterday because people were

[D]

roasting

[B]

exactly what I. I'm incredibly so.

[F]

You're the best.

[I]

Feel it.

[B]

Well, I got a little set. You got to do the rip.

[D]

Well, Jacob gets good by about halfway. Yeah. Good brother. Make sure you once he gets. Now he's getting into it. Those wrists.

[F]

You guys are just going to get really good at dancing. You're going to be a bun of fat. You're going to get fatter, but better at dancing.

[B]

Make our money.

[G]

Every woman in Chicago is going to want to figure out how to get into this class.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

This is.

[D]

We're going to have. In two weeks, we're going to have 40 guys.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, it does feel good. Like, I start the day and I feel better.

[D]

But you know what the sad part is? It's just forcing you to move a little bit for 16.

[C]

Yeah. If you.

[D]

All you got to do is move for 16 minutes.

[C]

If you just went on a walk the entire time you're doing that.

[B]

Nah, this. Listen, you don't.

[E]

You.

[B]

You sound like a guy who hasn't done the trunk twist and then the arm circles. Yeah, the trunk twist and then the hip twists, which are, I think, the same thing.

[C]

Have you made it that far in the workout?

[D]

I made it to the arm circles. Okay. Yeah.

[B]

Brandon makes it around 11. Brandon will tap out for a minute, start slowing down.

[G]

Yeah, but it's not just clips. Like, you're actually doing the full thing.

[B]

15 minutes through.

[G]

Really? Okay.

[C]

Can I.

[B]

You, like, start sweating by the end.

[C]

I think. I think having push ups in there is bullshit.

[B]

I agree.

[C]

Ups are too modern.

[B]

I agree.

[C]

Ups are too.

[B]

And they.

[A]

That's too much too normal.

[B]

We don't really do them.

[F]

Yeah, that's the thing.

[D]

We should discuss something. We. We got rid of the. It's supposed to end with jump rope.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And we got rid of it because that's a. That's a exercise. But we start by hopping.

[B]

I think we should add the jump rope because I think all of us jump roping together will be very funny too.

[D]

We need. We need five. We need.

[B]

I'll get jump ropes.

[G]

Is that one of the best things you can do for your heart?

[D]

Yeah, but we. We got rid of that. We end with push ups.

[B]

Oh, Wyatt, why? It just texted us. That's great. So take off. Take off the. The toy thing, tj. But the socks. Wearing those socks for an entire week. Oh, absolutely. Has to.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Have to take off everything.

[C]

What a punishment.

[B]

Pete.

[C]

Socks.

[B]

Good job, Chat.

[D]

Go to like a. With Quaker store.

[F]

I think.

[B]

I think go to, like a funeral home.

[D]

That's the only place. Let me see your bodies.

[A]

You have to grave rob.

[D]

Go take up a grave.

[A]

That's one of those moments where you just have to end the show.

[D]

Yeah, we did that. Too early.

[F]

Way too early.

[G]

Imagine bringing a girl home from the bar and be like, hold on a second. You have to, like, take those. Huge. Might be a deal breaker.

[E]

It should be.

[B]

That was.

[D]

So he can't take his socks off before he takes his pants off. No, he has to take his pants off first.

[A]

So he is in his whitey tighties with the.

[C]

Well, not true, Brady. He could put his shorts on. Put the socks on and then. And then finish. Oh, I wonder.

[A]

That's. That's probably why he wears them.

[D]

I can't. I'm doing compression socks. I'm just saying. Cool, athletic looking socks. Here's what. Oh, no, here might be a good one. Compression stockings.

[A]

Oh, that's what they are.

[D]

Diabetic society America.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

This looks like them to you. Yeah, that's. That's what I was looking at.

[A]

Those still look a little too cool.

[D]

How about these?

[A]

Those are good.

[D]

You know what? I'm just buying a pair.

[A]

Are you worried about blood clots?

[D]

That's the least.

[B]

Can never be more. Never be prepared enough. Oh, my God. All right. So how's everyone doing? That was a good show yesterday. Yeah, Kate felt good.

[A]

It did.

[B]

Somehow I was laughing about big T. 8 people's a lot of people to hate in this office. Yeah, like, we kind of glossed over that.

[A]

I was trying to.

[D]

Damn. I had already gone. He said he hates eight people. Eight people. He didn't reveal the eight people.

[B]

No, he walked off with eight people. He said, I hate eight people here

[D]

and I'm a big generational hater. I'm probably at only like three.

[B]

Well, Big T, also, he. He started it off by saying he hated this show for doing this because it's performative and this is his life. Hating things.

[D]

We're appropriating his culture.

[F]

Yeah, that.

[E]

So is it just us seven, plus Che?

[B]

Yeah, I don't think he hates.

[D]

He doesn't hate. No, he doesn't. I don't think.

[F]

Does anyone here have hate, like, radar up that, like, maybe he hates you?

[E]

I don't know what kind of hater he is. Like, does he have to really know you, or can he just hate you?

[D]

Can we just guess who he hates?

[G]

I don't feel like he likes me.

[B]

I don't think he doesn't like any

[A]

of us back in.

[F]

Right, right.

[A]

Nikki smokes. I bet he hates.

[E]

Yeah, I feel like that'd be too obvious.

[B]

Definitely hates Mincy.

[G]

No, because they went to church together.

[F]

I think they.

[D]

Oh, they do.

[G]

Like, yeah, they like each other.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Hates Mincy.

[D]

He hates Mitzi for sure. Obviously.

[B]

Probably hates some guys in the tech room.

[E]

Yeah, I was gonna Say

[A]

Stefan Tater. Lucas.

[D]

Lucas.

[E]

Lucas.

[D]

For sure. These are free squares, right? Or at least. Is he here?

[A]

Can we just get our eight list

[E]

and says how I'd put my name in there.

[G]

There.

[D]

No, no.

[G]

Why would he hate you just for

[E]

like reffing after dark we've gotten into.

[F]

He doesn't hate you.

[C]

Who's. Who's got the opposite politics of him.

[D]

Oh yeah. Almost.

[G]

But he's friends with people on opposite side. I think him and Mad Dog are tight.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, that's true. I guess.

[B]

I don't think him in sales. Somehow someone slighted him in sales.

[C]

Is anybody on the teachers union in Chicago? Yeah, he does hate.

[D]

Maybe he likes White Boy Rick.

[A]

You think he hates Rico? Maybe. Why would he hate.

[B]

But he said in this office he

[D]

used to hate Rico.

[B]

Oh, he probably does. He hate Jerry?

[D]

No, I think him and Rico are fine. No, him and Jerry talk.

[G]

Who's Tennessee's enemy?

[D]

Everybody.

[C]

Yeah, the world, really. Themselves. Yeah.

[G]

Has anyone here on Tennessee?

[D]

I mean, I have, but he allows me to have.

[G]

Okay.

[C]

Huh.

[B]

Does anyone else feel like they're like disconnected from Che? I feel like I haven't seen him in like.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

What's.

[B]

What's going on, Steve?

[F]

It's been like a little lull.

[B]

I know. Not. I'm not saying it's your fault, Steven. Maybe it's cuz. No football. And then, you know, we had. I was gone, then you were gone.

[H]

Yeah. I think our schedules just weren't synced up.

[B]

I just like. I kind of miss you. I saw you today. I was like. Hey, I haven't.

[H]

Yeah, you did say that to me. It kind of threw me for a loop.

[A]

I haven't even.

[H]

My timeline.

[C]

Yeah, I don't either.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Weird.

[C]

Are you not tweeting much?

[H]

I've been doing some wine stuff. Been doing some Love is Blind tweeting, but doing some.

[F]

Yeah, other stuff.

[D]

You haven't seen any of it.

[C]

Any caramel, you call it. Are you getting into college basketball betting or is that a one off thing?

[H]

That was a one off thing. Just because there's no hoops.

[B]

Did you win or NBA?

[H]

No, my pick last night was Alabama Arkansas. Under 184.

[B]

Oh, I had the opening over. It was a system play.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

What was it?

[H]

230 was the total.

[B]

Yes, it was.

[D]

Dude, you went.

[C]

You faded.

[B]

A system play.

[H]

I put it up before yours came out.

[B]

You had to know that was gonna be a system play.

[D]

And that's just you watching Insanely High.

[B]

The game's on tv. I'm gonna watch it. So I take the over.

[H]

Oh, that's the system.

[B]

Yeah, it's a good system. Yeah.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Because then everyone replies like what's the system?

[H]

Hanging out next week though.

[F]

Olympic gold medal.

[D]

You're hanging out next week? Yeah.

[F]

Right now.

[G]

Doing what?

[B]

Oh yeah, we're going to Indy for the combine. We'll be gone.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

Steve and I will be out Tuesday and Wednesday. I think. I. I'm. My plan is to come back Wednesday night. Steven.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

So.

[D]

Yeah, that's good because we have our

[B]

barstool combine on Thursday.

[D]

Will you be here for our barstool combine on Monday or back for the barstool. The second barstool combine on Thursday. We're doing two. All right. We usually do two or three.

[B]

Wait, what?

[A]

It's a Hank joke.

[D]

Oh yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't find that funny. Sorry.

[D]

My bad.

[G]

Speaking of Indiana sports talk alert.

[D]

Uhoh.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

How we feeling about the Bears and Hammond Big cat?

[B]

Oh, it's so stupid.

[G]

Is that real or not?

[B]

It's real in the fact that it's. They've gone to the limit of trying to force Illinois to figure their out.

[G]

Oh, so they're. They're kind of pretending.

[B]

I still would put. Put my money on Arlington Heights.

[G]

Okay, okay, okay.

[B]

But it's as, it's as real as it's ever gotten. Where they've been using Indiana as leverage to. For Arlington Heights and they're now getting very far down the line with Indiana. So it's becoming real in that respect.

[G]

Would there be like a revolt if it did or like people accept it?

[B]

I don't know. I mean it's. It is funny because Hammond is closer to us right now than Arlington Heights.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Which I think people don't realize. I mean people here realize.

[D]

I still maintain Illinois should just take Hammond by military force.

[A]

They could. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Just go get it.

[A]

You gotta get through Gary.

[B]

The real, the real shame if they do it in Hammond. I like Danny. I don't know if you feel the same way. I'm. I'm less mad about that. It's in, in Indiana. I'm more mad that they. We lost the racetrack.

[E]

Arlington. Yeah.

[B]

We lost Arlington racetrack for nothing.

[E]

And Hammond is going to be. I know it's the same distance, but it's going to be a lot further from most of the fans.

[B]

Yeah, right. Anyone who's on the north side of

[E]

the city, the Arlington would just. I don't think people realize how convenient it would have been. The train takes in the park.

[D]

Right.

[G]

So they already Tore stuff down for it. And then.

[B]

Oh yeah, no, they bought, they bought Arlington. So they took Arlington Heights. The plot of land used to have an awesome horse racing track. Like, like fun horse racing that I would go to all the time in the summer. And, and, and they had like some big races there and they tore it all down. So it's just an empty plot of land. And so if they don't build there, it's like, why the. Did we tear this down?

[G]

Dang.

[E]

Or any, any of you guys move here yet by the time Arlington was still up or.

[D]

No. No.

[E]

Oh, man.

[B]

It was awesome. Yeah. You take the metro right up there. Have a nice day. Get those picnic tables on the side. Rent one of those.

[E]

It was a must do at least once.

[B]

And they had like a million dollar stakes race.

[D]

Oh, that's not that far out.

[B]

No.

[A]

And chase somebody who lives there. Would that raise your property value?

[H]

So I don't, I don't live close enough to it. I would be like two miles from I used to live. The house that we rented when we moved was walking distance. They were already tearing it down. My question, but it would raise like Jerry, I think would be close enough where he would see a little bit of a bump.

[B]

Jerry's already talking about moving to Hammond. Follow wherever the bears

[H]

would. Would it be possible for them to just be like whoopsies and just rebuild them horse track?

[B]

Probably not. Oh, God, it is so stupid. It does feel a little different than like the, you know, because everyone's like, well, the jets and the Giants play in New Jersey. I don't know.

[E]

Like, I don't.

[B]

Yeah, it feels different.

[C]

It's gonna be closer than Santa Clara is to the nine.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

But it's still the same.

[B]

Or like Dallas. Dallas doesn't play in Dallas.

[H]

Right.

[D]

You know how the. The newest stadium always gets one Super Bowl?

[B]

Yeah. I don't want it.

[D]

Hammond, Indiana, Dude, I.

[B]

That the, the idea that like you. You get a Super bowl is the dumbest prize ever. I don't want all of the media and NFL media and the world's media coming to Chicago in February to tell us it's cold. We fucking know.

[D]

You don't want to play a home game.

[B]

You don't want to know because they're all going to fucking bitch about the cold. You know, it will be like the coldest weekend.

[D]

Well, the opposite. The opposite happened this year when all the media went out San Francisco. And we're like, this is lovely. And everybody was like, six. See, this place is cool. You motherf you stupid motherfuckers didn't know

[B]

it was all cold as the neutralizer. If it's like zero degrees, people will. I mean the Minneapolis one kind of sucked.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Do you think this is the number one contender right now or you think Arlington is a close second?

[B]

I still think it's gonna be Arlington.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

I don't know.

[C]

I don't know.

[D]

So right now we have the Indiana speaker of the Indiana House up there saying, you know, we. We're going through some motions right now. And you. You think all the decision makers in Illinois are watching this going like, all right, well now it's time to.

[B]

I think the Bears have basically been like we're going to call your bluff.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And now we're at bluff calling time.

[E]

But now don't they know how much money they're going to be saving by going to Indiana? Doesn't that scare you?

[B]

Yeah, a little bit.

[H]

What are the figures? It's like several billion dollars.

[B]

Yeah. Like Indiana or something. Basically build it. Yeah.

[C]

Sounds about right for.

[D]

Yeah. But fan base trust has got to be worth a certain the whole thing.

[B]

Kevin Warren's a loser. That guy's a loser.

[D]

The guy that couldn't run the big ten.

[B]

You guys got him to run your failed upwards.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

He shut down. He tried to shut down football. Football for the common cold.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

Get it. Hammond has a cracker barrel.

[B]

This is similar to what the Chiefs are doing.

[D]

I'm back.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Chiefs are doing this too. Yeah.

[I]

With Kansas is paying them to.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

But they're still in Kansas City. Correct.

[I]

Kansas City like straddles the state line basically.

[C]

You think Indiana could get the Bengals from Cincinnati too? O Florio had that they started Floro sick. Would that be if had three NFL

[B]

team that was all time Florio like Fever Dream where he does these like fan fiction articles when he gets bored in the off season. He's like what if they just built a stadium in between Cincinnati and Chicago and they shared it like okay.

[C]

All right, cool.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I guess kind of already did. And like oil.

[B]

I mean I Iowa got in the mix. There was a. Iowa was trying to get the Bears.

[D]

Iowa.

[B]

Yeah. Which that would be hours. Where would they play? Oh man.

[A]

Big T text me said he was joking about the eight people. It's two people that he genuinely hates. One we said one we will never

[D]

say in the company or in this office.

[B]

So his check mark.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

Who's like the loveliest person here.

[E]

One we'd never say it's got behind the scenes.

[H]

Oh,

[B]

that'll be Doug.

[G]

He hates Doug.

[D]

Well, I can see that one.

[A]

Yeah. Doug, man, CBS posted this.

[I]

Just not knowing where Iowa is.

[D]

That's.

[A]

That's pretty funny.

[B]

That's great.

[D]

That's as Missouri as it gets.

[I]

They deleted it.

[B]

No, but this is so. Like, I've been working on. I think I've said this on the show, but, like, stoicism, the idea that if you can control something, you give it all your energy. If you can't control it, don't. Don't bother yourself. This is a big time. What are we going to do? They're just going to. Whatever they do, they're just going to do. Yeah, like, getting upset about.

[D]

I feel like you got a big enough voice where you can control, like, one. You could.

[C]

You.

[D]

You've got a voice to, like, control one. 1000th of it.

[B]

I don't think so.

[C]

Do you think it'll affect fandom in Chicago?

[A]

No, I.

[B]

No, people would have.

[D]

I think. I think it.

[C]

Well, I mean, that. That would be affecting fandom, I guess.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

People are like, not as.

[B]

All it matters is if they win.

[C]

But, like, right now, people are really enthused about the Bears in this era,

[B]

which is very classic Bears that, like, they could, for the first time in franchise history, have like, a generational quarterback and everything seems to go in the right direction. They're like, you know what we'll do? We'll just release a bunch of open letters in. In HEM and ha. About where we're going to move.

[C]

Move the team.

[E]

What if it's a genius play because after Arlington was announced, like, no, keep it in the city, not the suburbs. Now everyone just, yes, hey, let's keep it in the same state.

[B]

I think that's a bit. I think that actually might be happening where now everyone be like, thank God they're at Arlington Heights. Yeah.

[E]

It secretly united the fans more.

[B]

It sucks. They can't just keep it if they're in a.

[D]

Wait. They have the best location in the world. Location.

[C]

It's a perfect location.

[B]

The Bears don't own the stadium. The city of Chicago.

[F]

But that location would be ideal.

[B]

Yes, but it would be very hard to build something there because there's not a big footprint.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

So the Bears move to Arlington Heights or Indiana. That stadium's just staying out there. I was saying.

[B]

I was proposing that they should keep the stadium, Soldier Field, fully operational. And that way, like Bears playoff games, they can be like, hey, we're. We're gonna go Soldier.

[E]

That'd be sick.

[B]

We do bear weather. Check the Forecast be like, all right, we're gonna play outside.

[E]

What are they gonna do there? There's the fire. Still play there?

[B]

No, they're building a new stadium. Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

All this st.

[D]

This is a new stadium. Ass.

[B]

I hate. I hate. Everyone's building a new stadium, and it's going to ruin. Cleveland's building a new state.

[D]

Cleveland's going indoors.

[C]

Dumb.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

If there's one place that you should be like, hey, we should embrace the fact that we have a distinct advantage when. When half the season is played with sideways hail.

[D]

Well, that was Buffalo, too.

[B]

Yeah, well, Buffalo's still outdoors.

[D]

I thought they were. They don't have a dome.

[C]

Like, they have.

[B]

Like, they figure out a way to stop the wind.

[C]

Yeah. Looks like those soccer.

[D]

It's like a perfect circle.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Kansas City's going indoors. I think Denver might go indoors. Suck.

[A]

Is that just for Super Bowl? Is that the only reason?

[B]

I think it's. I think it's because they can use it for concerts and, you know, everything. Basketball, football.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, they'll be. We'll get a final Four. We'll get a Super Bowl. We'll get probably the Big Ten championship game.

[D]

Get a WrestleMania mania.

[B]

Get a WrestleMania. But these aren't like, what are.

[C]

Okay, cool, but at what cost,

[B]

Bear? Weather is the cost.

[C]

Sad.

[H]

So the Bears timeline with the stadium stuff, for people that aren't paying attention to it, it was originally Arlington Heights, then back Chicago.

[B]

You want to go real timeline. They've been trying to get out of Soldier field for, like, 50 years.

[H]

50?

[D]

Yeah, they were writing that a couple times. Right.

[B]

Papa Bear was. Was writing the season ticket holders being like, we're to trying. Trying to find a new stadium. So it's. It's a long. It's a long history of. And then they renovated Soldier Field in the early 2000s, and that's why it looks like a spaceship now. That's all, like, 25 years new. That.

[E]

That was just a band aid, but it was Arlington. And then there was another proposed spot in the city. Antioch.

[A]

You got to get them up to Antioch.

[D]

No. Where.

[B]

What was.

[E]

No, no, it was in the city. City, like, not far from Soldier.

[H]

They released, like, Train Track.

[D]

That's the White Sox one, you're thinking. Yeah, that was.

[B]

That was the White Sox. Yeah.

[H]

Wasn't it, like, on the lake or something like that? Yeah, they've released. They've released, like, blueprints and stuff like this for like, four different locations.

[B]

It just sucks because it's like the stadiums in cities are Awesome.

[C]

I agree. I brought that up on mostly sports at Chicago. I didn't give it a ton of thought, but, like, Chicago is like, one of the few major cities that has all of the stadiums.

[B]

Not like you ever.

[C]

Every team plays in the stadium city.

[B]

Pull up a. Pull up a night photo of Wrigley's. Like, Ariel going south. It's like the coolest picture possible. Like, hey, this is just in the neighborhood.

[F]

Should be in the neighborhood instead of

[B]

being in, like, a big parking lot

[C]

like the brewers, which is the worst stadium.

[D]

Right.

[C]

In North American sports. And actually, I've never hate that.

[B]

You'd think that if you built it in a parking lot, you'd be able to get out of the parking lot.

[C]

You can't get out of the parking lot.

[B]

Stayed so long in that part in City Field.

[A]

That's just in a scrap.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Yard.

[B]

The Brewer Stadium just has no soul.

[C]

Hero soul. It's just like a.

[B]

No. No from. From like, way up.

[D]

I don't hate the Brewer Stadium from, like, aal.

[B]

Like, let's see. Let's see where there's nothing.

[C]

Brewer Stadium. Higher.

[D]

Wrigley Field. Do Ariel. Put Ariel.

[B]

I want to go higher.

[F]

Not many Padres like that.

[G]

Padre Stadium.

[F]

They do it. Seattle does it.

[C]

Right.

[G]

San Francisco.

[B]

That's cool. But no, I gotta find the picture. Tj. That's pretty cool.

[C]

Gotta find that. You got a Pittsburgh.

[A]

Pittsburgh.

[B]

There it is. That's it. That's it. Click on that. That is what we're gonna lose.

[C]

That's sick.

[B]

That's so cool. This is like, hey, it's a big city. And then there's. Boom. Beautiful green grass.

[F]

Yeah.

[I]

I think Detroit isn't Comerica or whatever.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

Like in the city.

[B]

Yeah, it's right in the city city. Pittsburgh's got a. It's all of a spot.

[A]

You could walk to. All three.

[B]

Yeah. Seattle.

[D]

Like that.

[F]

Seattle is.

[D]

Seattle's like, we're going to Pittsburgh this year, right?

[A]

Yeah, we are.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Cleveland is like that, but they're going to ruin it. Cleveland has the baseball stadium and basketball right next to each other and then the football stadiums right on the lake.

[H]

And Rock and Roll hall of Fame's right there, too.

[B]

Yeah. Which is so overrated.

[A]

Do you think so?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

All hall of Fames are really.

[B]

But that one, like, I wanted to be wowed, and I just wasn't. Wow.

[F]

You hear any music at least?

[B]

Yeah, but it just wasn't wow. Wow.

[C]

Cleveland would get the. Like when LeBron was there and the Indians were in the playoffs, like the EQUINOX of. Yeah, there's a. A Cavs game and a. Yeah, you can hear it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Or it worked the other way too. Of like the Cavs are in the playoffs and then in the.

[B]

In the baseball game. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. That was awesome.

[F]

Nothing was. People would, like, go to both Cleveland in 2016.

[C]

That was peak city. That was peak.

[A]

Peak city.

[C]

It was peak.

[B]

That was peak city.

[C]

That was peak.

[D]

Amazing city.

[C]

Had to be there.

[B]

It's a bummer to be there.

[F]

I'll be there soon.

[D]

Next month.

[B]

Oh, you are.

[F]

You're going to Cleveland wrestling tournament.

[D]

Oh, is it the Final Four or the.

[F]

The championship?

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

Is it the one that was in Philly last year? Same thing.

[B]

Are you gonna.

[F]

Obviously not a Ben and Cleveland.

[B]

If there's like a big match, are you gonna leave early?

[D]

You did do that.

[F]

I did leave early and missed the biggest match of all time.

[D]

Gable. Gable losing.

[F]

I got the. Yeah, I saw the. The Track Wrestling live score update of my Uber. It was kind of like. It kind of hit though, seeing it in a number form. Like Wyatt Hendrickson's score go up. We all screamed.

[C]

It's like.

[F]

And now we're home where we're.

[D]

It's pretty nice.

[F]

I pretended to be upset, but I loved it.

[B]

There is nothing better than leaving early a game and. And, and nailing it. Like, where no way there's going to be a comeback. And then you get home and you're like, yep, I was right.

[F]

Yeah, that is. Yeah, that's.

[B]

I didn't miss any. Yeah. We went hitless in the last three innings. Perfect.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, Max just texted me, said, I'm getting mad you're not saying Philly, but Philly's in a parking lot.

[D]

Yeah, it's in the south.

[G]

Oh, but the train goes south.

[B]

Philly's in a parking lot.

[G]

It's walkable to a lot of really good dive.

[C]

It's not the same as texting about. Was he texting about the conversation we were having or just. Is that a general he.

[B]

I just look mad.

[C]

You're not saying Philly.

[B]

Philly has the best stadium set up. I'm getting mad. You're not saying Max.

[G]

I didn't say it because I knew they were going to. On.

[D]

They're all three together, but they're not connected.

[G]

It is so easy to walk into the. It's like. And there's dive bars right there. The city starts right there.

[B]

Yeah, but it is just a giant parking lot. What was your question?

[F]

Sorry, would you rather you have five people people? Would you rather get an Airbnb right next to the arena you're going to. That's only two bedrooms and a couch or something like a 15 minute Uber away that has like four bedrooms.

[D]

Four bedrooms, probably. Yeah. Are the five people any of them sleep. Are they all five sleeping independently of each other? Yes. Okay, You're.

[B]

These are all your college buddies.

[F]

Dads, too?

[B]

I was gonna say you're too old already. Yeah, Dad's in there. Like, there's a point.

[F]

Three dudes, two dads.

[B]

Well, and also specifically come in here. Oh, specifically.

[A]

Hands are already moved.

[B]

I think sharing rooms is okay if it's like a. We're going to get up weekend.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean. Where it's like, we're just gonna pass out. Doesn't really matter where we sleep. But if you're going and you're going to like a sporting event and you're not going to get, like, boozed up, you got to have your own room.

[D]

I think in any.

[F]

Well, so I fucked up.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Oh, no.

[B]

Do the two bedroom.

[F]

Yeah, I got it early for a good price. Right next to the arena.

[D]

That's good.

[B]

Bunk beds.

[F]

I don't. Yeah, we got share rooms.

[B]

No, no bunk beds. I love those Airbnbs that are like. Like four bedrooms. Sleeps 25. And then you just scroll and there's one room with like an army barracks.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[H]

Okay.

[F]

Cool people in there.

[B]

Max. What. What's your problem?

[J]

I've calmed down since hearing about the Airbnb. Just Philly's. The Philly is the best setup.

[B]

But it's a parking lot.

[J]

Yes. Where the best tailgating can be done. Right, but like, Philly is an se. Is you is a college tailgating atmosphere with walkable distance, two dive bars, and a huge centerpiece that like. Of which. Which is Xfinity Live, which you can go to and just. You can do everything in Philly. And all the stadiums are right next to each other, accessible by subway. And in the middle of South Philadelphia. Like, it's in the middle of South Philadelphia.

[A]

Yes.

[J]

There's a lot of parking lots, which is perfect. The best time is tailgating in the park better than.

[B]

Than Wrigley.

[J]

No, no, no. I'm saying that the setup. The setup is the best.

[B]

But aren't you guys moving the Sixers to New Jersey? Jersey.

[J]

They're never gonna do. They. They. It's the same thing.

[B]

This is a. This is a problem. Every fan base is dealing with some form of.

[J]

They're never gonna do that.

[C]

I'll never do that.

[J]

But it, like, it is so close to South Philadelphia, which is like the.

[B]

All right, I'm saying it's.

[J]

It is the heart of Italians in Philadelphia.

[C]

South Philly is, like, the place to be.

[J]

No, but it's. It's a good spot.

[G]

Like, you got drunk, walk home. You could kind of bar crawl all the way to Center City, and it's not. It wouldn't kill you.

[J]

And the subway takes you right into the.

[B]

That aerial picture.

[J]

But. But it's all three of them. That was that.

[A]

But that's like.

[J]

But you guys kept talking about, like, look at that.

[D]

This is in the city. This is correct.

[J]

Wrigley on its own is better, but, like, if we're talking about sports complexes where you can go.

[D]

We weren't.

[B]

No, we weren't.

[A]

Never once.

[D]

Right? Not once. We were talking about being in the city.

[B]

Yeah, we were actually, like, we kind of.

[J]

Okay, I misunderstood.

[B]

I thought you were talking about complexes. I saw it, like, relationship to the city we mentioned.

[C]

Cleveland does have theirs by each other, but that was about it.

[B]

But that's not a complex.

[C]

And it's also not a complex.

[D]

Oh, you're still driving.

[J]

Driving to Phil. You can get.

[A]

You.

[J]

If you live in Center City, it's easy to get to. If you live in the suburbs, it's easy to get to, like.

[D]

Right. But that's not.

[J]

Again, the Philly sports complex is elite,

[D]

but not what we were talking about at all.

[J]

I thought you were talking about complexes. Well, keep.

[B]

What other complexes are they up against?

[D]

You keep circling back to what you thought.

[J]

That's what I thought the debate was, and I wanted to make sure.

[D]

Sure that. But now you know that it wasn't. Stop Trying to circle back to it.

[C]

Kansas City does it too. I guess Wrigley is greatly. They have a complex.

[F]

You think?

[C]

Have you been to Kansas City's complex?

[J]

No, I've been to Texas. I've been to Dallas. Texas has a lot of.

[D]

They don't.

[J]

I should have said Dallas. Yes, they do that.

[D]

Not really, Jerry.

[J]

World and Rangers are right next to each other and they also have like

[D]

an Xfinity but basketball is way away. Yeah, they have two.

[J]

That's what I'm saying. Philly's got all three.

[B]

It's actually perfect that Philadelphia has a complex. Sucks.

[A]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[J]

Kate knows what I'm saying.

[G]

Kate.

[J]

Kate wants to jump.

[G]

I know what you're both saying as

[B]

you come in here and scream at us.

[J]

Not even fired.

[C]

All these park.

[D]

No talk about our sa.

[B]

Look at the park.

[G]

Agree with what you're saying.

[D]

Best.

[J]

Whatever. Best sports town.

[D]

You guys hate your sports teams.

[I]

Xfinity Live is awesome.

[B]

He is right about.

[C]

Oh, I think it sucks.

[B]

I actually been to.

[D]

Is that like the battery in Atlanta. Is it like a different bars in

[G]

one now that like a central.

[F]

I like the idea but it's. When I went it was just everyone filled it up and it was.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I now that Max is gone. I have been to an Eagles game and I tailgated. It was actually awesome.

[G]

It's really fun.

[B]

I've been actually. I went to Army Navy there and I went to Eagles Bears there.

[D]

I went to WrestleMania 40 there and it was was. We got done got right.

[B]

Yeah, it's pretty sick. I'd never say that around him.

[D]

Yeah pretty easy.

[B]

I was probably in with a complex.

[D]

I was probably downtown eight minutes.

[B]

Okay, here we go. Oh, I love J. Cuda, by the way.

[F]

Do you find good chart?

[B]

Do you follow J. Cuda?

[F]

I got.

[B]

He does this dude his account right now and it's the greatest Where's.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Hold on.

[F]

49ers.

[C]

Let's spend some time on this.

[B]

This.

[D]

Let's get in there a little bit.

[C]

Oh, s. All right.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[G]

Okay.

[D]

All right. Okay.

[F]

Cuda followed dude.

[E]

He's the best.

[D]

And if you look at the city the Eagles are not that close.

[G]

We're in within one mile.

[F]

The Patriots good enough for being.

[D]

That's five miles.

[B]

So if the Bears move to Hammond we will be somewhere in that outer like we'll be in like in like the 25 mile range.

[D]

Pull it back up again.

[B]

What?

[D]

What we're just looking at.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, that will be. We'll probably be in between the Cowboys and the Patriots.

[D]

How are the bears off of downtown right now? The Bears are right downtown.

[B]

I think they are. No, no, they're. They're saying downtown is what? Madison State Center.

[E]

Oh.

[B]

What?

[E]

They're basically.

[D]

It feels like it's just right.

[B]

Yeah, but.

[E]

Yeah, that is stupid.

[B]

It's downtown. Yeah, it's down downtown.

[G]

Titans games seem fun. I haven't been to one, but I party on that main strip and then walk over.

[D]

I like. Do you like their rebrand?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Who?

[B]

Yes, I do.

[D]

They do. They're looking more oil. Embrace the Oilers going back with the softer colors.

[B]

And go to J. Cuda's account. You Kyle. I'm actually mad that you haven't followed

[D]

J. C. The best sounds.

[B]

Some of the. Look at this. Yukon home losses, unranked teams the last three years. That one's not good.

[F]

Send that.

[D]

But when it gets to.

[B]

Yeah. These ones I love. These ones I like.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Division one teams with the.700 winning percentage of regular season conference play in the last five years. That's pretty.

[D]

Brandon.

[B]

He'll find some of the craziest stats. Yeah. This one, I love that he's using paint. Wisconsin since 2010. Exactly the same in football.

[F]

That's pretty cool.

[C]

Great.

[A]

What a dream life of just finding is.

[F]

And what is his professional job?

[B]

I think he's an engineer. So I've talked to him a couple times.

[E]

Big White Sox fan, right?

[B]

Yeah. White Sox, Michigan State.

[A]

Oh, love it.

[B]

Oh, look at this.

[F]

Body parts.

[B]

Oh, Kyle Long. Oh, George bone.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

He does his shin.

[B]

Yeah, dude, that's all he does.

[F]

Mickey Higgins.

[E]

I'll have multiple bangers a day.

I would love to talk to him.

[F]

Have you met him?

[B]

I've never met him. I talked to him actually, like last week because he was going to Madison for the Michigan State Wisconsin game, so I gave him a couple wrecks.

It's legitimately one of my top three favorite barstool videos in my six weeks.

[F]

Yeah, we brought one into the.

It's so goddamn fun to watch.

[A]

The grand petite. Made me laugh.

[F]

I mean, I have a log in my head of like 100 plus cities.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

If Quigs has the time, we'd love to add on to the that because it has the ability to go public. It would challenge Kyle.

[B]

Probably not when challenge Kyle on.

[F]

I would like people to actually learn that.

[C]

How would you handle. If someone knows New Platson better than you?

[B]

You'd have to.

[F]

Is there Some that I forget.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Would you ever allow someone who could, who knew a lot to. To modify anything?

[F]

I would, yeah.

[E]

A new stadium.

[F]

Suggestions?

[D]

Open source.

[B]

New platform. Flatson.

[F]

Not open source.

[D]

Okay.

[F]

I would let Jay Cuda.

[B]

Yeah, J. Cuda.

[F]

Do whatever he wants with it.

[B]

For stadiums with water.

[F]

Yeah, I'll take the water.

[B]

We gotta get a water football complex.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

If you gifted people cities that they could make their own would be cool.

[F]

Yeah. There's land west of Carlsberg and east of Northern Plains that I just have done nothing with in 20 years.

[B]

You gotta get on.

[F]

I just, like, I like, categorically rule them out as a place and it needs to be filled up. Maybe Jay can do that.

[D]

You need some rural areas too, though, right?

[F]

There are. Yeah, There's Rural District 8.

[B]

We need to get. We need to get that plot of land into like, one of the fake accounts and be like, the bears are thinking about moving.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

To Carlsberg.

[C]

Are there people that view you? Like George R.R. martin, like, won't finish his story. Oh, they're like, God damn it, Kyle, get off your lazy ass and finish you. Yeah, finish those two west of Carl. God damn it. I want to see how this ends.

[F]

That's how I think in my head. Like, people are going to start getting pissed, dude.

[B]

George R.R. martin just, like, admitted it the other day. He's like, yeah, I'm just kind of not going to do it.

[C]

I'm not going to finish.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

What a dick. What a dick.

[I]

And Chad said he's in for part two.

[D]

Kyle.

[B]

Oh, hell yes.

[C]

Got to get J. C. This takes

[F]

so much of his time and labor.

[C]

I don't want Jay to. To develop up the. The cities for you. I want him to just take what you've developed and like, modify the Grand Petite. If it was covered in cheese.

[B]

Yeah, yeah,

[C]

like.

[F]

Like that.

[C]

That's what I was.

[F]

Yes. So you do know. Yeah, I was gonna say how crazy.

[F]

No, this. Yeah, that's. It's really cool.

[D]

Kay.

Tried making a side note note of the fact that this pretty famous rapper just stops by our house for coffee every now and then.

[D]

Oh yeah.

[F]

I always forget that he does Trinidad.

[E]

I'll send you the picture.

[G]

I'm showing the pictures of my living. I got a living room redone.

I guess tj.

[F]

Is that what you call him?

[G]

I don't know. I.

[F]

Or you don't?

[G]

I feel like I don't. You know, when you're close to people, you don't really call them by name. Not that I'm super close. Oh yeah, there he is.

[C]

Oh, he is.

[G]

This was. I went to look up before pictures in my living room to show on Kate and Friends this morning and that was the second one that popped up.

[D]

Living room hangs out with Pat.

[G]

So I put it in the thing, but it made.

[D]

That was the before Ole Miss quarterback.

[G]

We have a new rug now and a new couch and some new stuff. It's pretty cool.

[D]

He's going to be eligible next year for Ole Miss.

[G]

New wallpaper.

[B]

He is.

[G]

New curtains.

[D]

No, he won't be. Can you go to the Is Kate looking right Twitter account account? Because he had a funny tweet.

[G]

Stunning revelation.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

Yeah. Gave me many more questions.

[D]

I kind of like, I want this to be inspiring. All across the country, the Pete reveal of his compression socks on the yak while I'm sitting here with the same socks on was wild.

[B]

Oh my God, look at this. That's the guy. That thing is stuffed in there.

[E]

This is the man decided.

[D]

That's a calzone.

[B]

He does have blood clots.

[G]

Nuts.

[B]

Oh, I love that. This is the guy that's running this. I love that.

[D]

His knees for solely.

[B]

He's walking around with two sausages encased. Yeah, I love that guy.

[G]

I'm a fan. This makes me even more of a fan.

[F]

So funny.

[E]

It's the.

[B]

I. I think he. He thought he was posting the socks. It's the knee. Yeah, it's the knee that we're talking about here. That's a knee tweet. Whoa. This is the guy who runs the Kate. Looking right? Yeah.

[G]

Like a pug dog.

[D]

He's just doing his job.

[B]

That guy rocks.

[H]

And you guys been to SeaWorld in the last 15 years?

[D]

No. Yeah. Why?

[H]

Oh, what's it like?

[B]

There he is. See what I'm saying? I miss this guy. Feel like we haven't connected.

[D]

Say I haven't been there. I think I can answer that.

[B]

Like we haven't connected and now we're back.

[E]

I went there like two years ago and they like claim to have the fastest roller coasters in the world. And I didn't even know they really had roller coasters to begin with. And there were some like more advanced roller coasters than I had seen at Six Flags. Like Double Loop. I think I told the story recently how we had a. It was like one of those rides where they take you like Superman and you're perpendicular to the ground.

[H]

Vertical to.

[E]

I mean. And they stopped and Cuz I was sitting next to Glenny Balls and like.

[D]

Sorry, we have a.

[E]

A special seat for you. Oh, that was my lasting memory of. Of SeaWorld. Are you considering going, Chad?

[H]

No. The LA Dodgers Stadium with water made me think about it and since they had the. Wait, was that. Was that documentary Blackfish. Black fish with the whales. I thought SeaWorld didn't exist anymore.

[E]

No new orcas.

[D]

Oh, they're still going, I think.

[H]

Are there whales there still or no?

[E]

Yeah, I don't think they could bring in any new ones every year.

[G]

Stevo like nails his balls to a billboard until they close it down. He. He's like super against Steve.

[D]

Oh, us.

[G]

Yeah. He's like very.

[D]

I never knew. Anti balls to things.

[G]

Not that. But he's like I'm up in a crane all week until remember that. Blah blah, blah. He's like very anti. That documentary did turn me off on SeaWorld.

[D]

Oh, that old. That one was jarring.

[E]

Can I ask though? Why aren't other aquariums getting the same flack as SeaWorld? Is it just about the orcas?

[D]

They were really orca heavy.

[B]

Big time orca stuff.

[E]

It's mostly an orca thing now.

[H]

I think SeaWorld made them perform off in. Whereas most zoos and aquariums don't make the animals do stuff. Really.

[G]

And most don't have whales, I think because.

[A]

Right.

[H]

Yeah.

[G]

They're big. I think they take the baby whales from the moms. That's how they get the Whales.

[D]

But the picture of Dodger Stadium with. With water in it reminded you of SeaWorld.

[H]

Does it not look like SeaWorld? That's how I imagine.

[D]

Look like Dodger Stadium with water in it.

[H]

Well, just like a giant.

[A]

I don't think body of water.

[D]

Their pools are in ponds or their pools are that big.

[H]

Yeah. That looks that to me looks like SeaWorld.

[A]

That looks like SeaWorld.

[D]

Like, that'd be mega SeaWorld.

[B]

Yes.

[H]

Yes. It's certainly big.

[G]

I kind of like to see. This is the whale popping out of there now.

[D]

This. Were I. I'd go to the sea. Oh, yeah.

[G]

I went to the one in California and the Budweiser Clydesdales lived there.

[D]

Really? No. Underwater.

[G]

Like in the park ground. They had their own little stable and you could go visit them. Coming.

[D]

There's a Clydesdale farm up near Antioch that I drive past a lot because I want to see them. I want to see if they're outside. It's fun to watch Clydesdales. They're just. They're bigger and they got the. The feet.

[G]

They're big.

[A]

They're plastic feast.

[D]

They're pleasant to look at.

[B]

Look.

[G]

Shockingly large.

[D]

Oh, they're huge.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

Huge horses.

[H]

You know. SeaWorld is a stock. I just looked that up. Is SeaWorld a publicly traded stock? Yes.

[A]

Get in on that.

[H]

United Parks and Resorts in ink.

[D]

Going to buy any or just been

[H]

taking a beating the last five years?

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Hell, yeah.

[G]

That's sick. Come back in.

[A]

They look happy.

[B]

Gigantic.

[D]

The scale. Those are the biggest.

[B]

Those.

[A]

Those are too big of orcas.

[I]

But orcas the size of planes.

[B]

God.

[F]

Wait. To scale.

[A]

Those are.

[D]

I think those are way bigger.

[A]

Orcas aren't that big of weight.

[G]

Titus, we have.

[F]

Hurry.

[G]

We have a good combination combo. Can you put that back up for Titus? So there we go.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Pretty sick.

[G]

Yep.

[C]

That's sick. That's really good. What did the SeaWorld discussion lead to?

[D]

That's what it led to. That's what reminded him of SeaWorld. Dodger Stadium with water in it.

[C]

Ah.

[A]

And I was kind of on his side.

[C]

Was Free Willy true story or based just the idea of being a free in the willy?

[D]

I think it was.

[B]

It was.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

The whale. There's a fantastic podcast that just came out last year that the whale that was in that movie then got sent to Mexico and people raised a ton of money to get it back in the ocean. And it follows the story of what happens once they get it back in the ocean. And these people, like, followed it in a little dinghy trying to keep it alive.

[C]

It's a whole thing or.

[G]

No, actually, I hit the paywall at the end. I don't know.

[A]

Oh.

[G]

And then I'm waiting.

[B]

Which was the paywall?

[G]

I keep forgetting getting. And so now I'm. I don't look it up because I'm like, eventually I'll listen to that final episode.

[A]

Well, I want to find out right now.

[G]

Okay.

[A]

Cover your eyes.

[G]

Let's find out.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

So the whale that played Free.

[G]

I'll go off. Your reaction what was.

[C]

Was in captivity.

[D]

Yes.

[G]

I'm probably this.

[C]

So they made a whole movie about.

[G]

Or the movie that it's based off of or something like that. I. I'm pretty sure it was the one that was in the movie, though.

[C]

How big of a cultural phenomenon was Free Willy? Huge. I feel like it.

[F]

I feel like it was.

[C]

I feel like it was. Was.

[G]

It was huge.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I remember it being that way. And I don't know if it was just like my school watched it or something.

[D]

Kiko. Oh, there's a death date. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[G]

Oh. Known for his portrayal. Yeah. Free Willy.

[D]

Okay. He was released back in the ocean.

[A]

Died of pneumonia a year later.

[D]

Okay. He lasted a year.

[G]

It's so sad. He keeps, like, trying to befriend the other whales. Have parties in the middle of the sea.

[D]

Whales can get pneumonia where they, like, cold.

[G]

You can hear the parties. They, like, have recorded them. They're just like. And making bubbles and having, like, a great time. And he kept trying to get into the parties and, like. But he couldn't.

[D]

They wouldn't let him play any worker games.

[A]

They live up to 50 to 90. He's 27. Like Cobain.

[D]

Cobain.

[G]

It's a really good.

[A]

Somebody put Kiko in a graphic with

[E]

him, and Jimmy had white. Later.

[G]

They, like, when they first got him out, they gave him an entire bay. They, like, closed off an entire bay in Norway or something to like, let him. And then they started slowly letting him out and following him around, and then he took off and. Highly recommend. Even though I can't tell you the name. Poor evidence.

[A]

Poor Kiko.

[G]

I know.

[D]

Yeah. Damn pay walls.

[E]

Any developments from your kids picture saga with the 12 bucks?

[G]

Oh, no, I. Pat went to pay it last night. He's like, where's the checkbook?

[D]

I'll just pay it.

[E]

And I was like, no $12 check.

[A]

So you just pay paid.

[G]

I think he did. Pat did. He was embarrassed that I wasn't gonna pay. That's a crazy move, though.

[F]

I agree.

[B]

What is the best free meal Starter at a restaurant. As far as, like, bread or bread and butter pops. Corn, pickles and coleslaw. Cornbread, cinnamon bread, chips and salsa. How'd you miss chips and salsa?

[H]

I guess I was just bread heavy.

[D]

I think was. Chips and salsa is certainly an answer, but otherwise, don't. Don't overthink it. It's. It's. It's bread and butter.

[A]

Where would you go where you get cinnamon bread as a free Texas roadhouse

[B]

or pickles and coleslaw?

[H]

It's a Long island diner thing.

[D]

But does that come with what restaurants give you popcorn?

[H]

No, it's. It's out on the top.

[A]

You can go scoop it yourself.

[D]

I kind of like Logan's Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse, I think. Peanuts. Five guys. Peanut. I kind of like a thing of peanut.

[A]

Are they still doing that with allergies? Are you still walking with peanuts on the floor?

[D]

I. Five guys does, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Are they not on the floor like they used to be?

[D]

Oh, no, maybe not.

[G]

Has anyone been somewhere where they give you something where you're like, oh, I've never gotten this as a freebie before.

[I]

There's a restaurant around the corner that brings around, like, pizza bread, like, bread with, like, sauce and cheese on it, and then, like, a plate of, like, salami, like a plate of, like, meat.

[D]

Where. Where's.

[F]

I love that, Elena.

[D]

Okay.

[I]

It's like an Italian restaurant.

[D]

I'm on my diet journey right now.

[I]

Great voice crack.

[D]

Give me a week and a half and I'll probably be back.

[B]

We're gonna. We're gonna be in such good shape soon.

[D]

I'm doing nothing but eating. Good, man.

[B]

We're just.

[C]

We're.

[B]

If we stick with this plan.

[D]

Hey, I. I've eaten good this week. I walk two miles every morning, and I do the thing with you.

[A]

How you sleeping?

[D]

I slept terribly last.

[B]

Oh, I did, too. I was so sore.

[D]

My traps hurt so much. I couldn't.

[B]

I was so sore. I'm basically like a walking paralyzed person right now for my 15 minute Chinese workout.

[H]

You guys might have a new member soon.

[D]

Who? We're growing every day. You?

[B]

You?

[E]

No, just a workout.

[D]

Sweet.

[B]

All the rest of friend cons, you should join them. You're out of shape and have let yourself go. I don't mean any disrespect when I say that, but you're pretty overweight. If you need help from a friend, let me know. I got you. Respectfully, Dave, I love that Dave's being

[A]

a dick online to the bald stool guy.

[B]

Oh, I think. I think it's cuz he went and he already got it. And he was just like, look at these idiots.

[D]

And it happened to Jack McCarthy. Who?

[B]

Oh, Jack McCarthy looks like a mutant.

[D]

He kind. Jack McCarthy kind of traffics in this kind of.

[B]

Oh, he looks so gross.

[G]

His head looks like a.

[B]

Look at that.

[G]

That's bad. He and Marvin Harry get burned by them.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. He's in home alone.

[A]

Mook is swollen between his eyes, like immediately. So he's going to get worse. Pat is swollen.

[B]

Oh, it's.

[D]

You think they've landed? They probably landed, right?

[G]

Goldfinger's here today.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, well then.

[B]

Oh, he is.

[E]

Then they've landed some of them.

[G]

Some of them, yeah.

[D]

[E]

Did Mook just hate turkey or is he just mad? He had a pain.

[A]

He had a breakdown.

[D]

What did. Pat said something about Istanbul.

[A]

Said it was worse than Wound Socket Rhode Island?

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Whoa.

[G]

And he hates wound socket. If you.

[D]

Istanbul is one of the great cities in the world, right?

[B]

I have no idea.

[D]

It's.

[E]

It's.

[B]

Yeah, it's considered that well known favorite city.

[A]

It's the most visited city on earth.

[G]

Really?

[B]

Is that true?

[A]

I think.

[D]

Not trying to be a dick, but Istanbul makes Wound Socket Rhode island look like Dubai.

[C]

Huh. So you have to have.

[D]

You have to figure out which ones

[C]

Rhode island and Dubai to understand that. But.

[G]

But unfortunately, Dave is like a traveled guy.

[B]

Yeah, no, he's. He's become a traveler. Went to Panama.

[D]

Oh, that's right, he did.

[B]

Went to France, Germany.

They do Puerto Rico or coast. What do they do?

[G]

Dominican Republic, I think.

[D]

Dominican Republic, that's right.

[H]

Do you think White Sox Dave has any ry. Luggage or like nice luggage?

[G]

No.

[H]

He strikes me.

[E]

Oh, this was a huge saga for us.

[B]

Oh, yeah, the luggage.

[E]

Dave showed up with two roller suitcases and he just looked ridiculous carrying them both. And then we open. He. He tried bringing both of them on the plane, thinking no way. Wouldn't say anything. And then she's like, no, you cannot bring two. You know the deal. And one of them, we're going to Arizona for spring training, was just filled with catchers, mitts and baseball.

[B]

Just in case they called him up.

[E]

Just in case we wanted to play catch.

[G]

That's adorable. Oh, that's cute.

[B]

That is very cute.

[C]

He does. He does duffle bad guy, though.

[A]

Like his old high school team.

[C]

Re one. Like the, The. The part of the zipper where you grab it, like that's broken off the zipper still. But you got to pinch the little.

[B]

Pinch it.

[C]

Like pinch the little part. Yeah, I See him as having one of those.

[D]

When. When is this.

[G]

Wait, what is.

[D]

What is going on?

[G]

That's not real.

[D]

Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest, Dave doesn't look good there.

[A]

Look at just the orange back of scalp at the beginning of that video.

[B]

Yuck.

[G]

Where is this?

[J]

Whoa.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[F]

Yuck. Oh, wait, pause.

[E]

Why are they different colors?

[D]

That's not a funky Bets.

[A]

No, they've all been orange.

[G]

Oh my God, that's gross.

[D]

Is this worth it?

[C]

Does anyone ask the people of Turkey how they feel about this? Like their city being overrun by.

[B]

Yeah,

[C]

like imagine if just like you go to grab lunch here in Chicago and just like you just see these creatures.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Just like every day. It's just.

[F]

That would bother me at a certain point.

[C]

Would.

[A]

That city toppled the Holy Roman Empire and now it's just filled with scabbed up white dudes.

[C]

It's being overrun.

[B]

Yeah, well, Mikey Betts was getting called fat at one of those.

[E]

I saw that.

[B]

He also was mad that we did the hate day without him. So I said that he has. He can whenever join. He can and. And bring his list. Yeah, it's probably going to be its own episode.

[D]

I mean, I wouldn't mind throwing that.

[B]

Look at this. Too fat. But you don't pay the. You know, if you pay money. I like it. Yeah, you're not.

[D]

Give me five.

[E]

Give me five.

[H]

Give me 5.

[B]

After you come. I like Mikey Bets. He doesn't. He won't play along if someone says something to him like, mean. He won't be like, oh yeah, I'll give you five. He's like, no, you, dude. Yeah, he's out of here.

[E]

Very stubborn.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So Dante quit his job for Lent.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

See that?

[D]

Correctly. He deleted his Twitter account for Lyn or something like that.

[A]

The apps on his phone on the Internet.

[E]

Would have been nice if he told me. No warning.

[J]

He.

[G]

Oh, not just Twitter, but every social media.

[E]

He claims he'll still do content, but he basically just won't promote it. So he'll still be doing all of his shows. He's just not going to be tweeting any clips of it off his own account. And I said that's probably a discussion for to have with somebody else here.

[A]

That's a religious thing, I guess, of

[E]

FaceTiming Dante so he can address why he is quitting social media for life.

[I]

Liked by Dante, by the way.

[A]

Two hours ago he liked it.

[B]

Hey now,

[E]

don't mind my eyes. Not important. I mean, we. We were texting 45 minutes ago, so like, this isn't out of nowhere. I did the courtesy of texting and being like, yo, would you mind if we could could shoot a video before you just quit on the show for a month and a half. And he's like, yeah, no problem. And now here we are. I gotta call again. He's expecting a call, you know.

[D]

Nice view.

[E]

Yo, what's up, yo? Great lighting.

[D]

Sorry, I'm in my bedroom.

[E]

Did I interrupt anything? Oh, the reason I called is to get into why you are quitting social media in the midst of us basically starting a social media series.

[B]

I'm not quitting it. I'm giving it up. For when? It's only 40 days. I did it the last two years

[C]

and it's like the best month of my life.

[E]

We didn't get a fair warning. Like, he kind of just tweeted, I'll see you guys in six weeks.

[B]

I know Dante does other things words before Easter. But like, Steph Curry's like, hey, I'm giving up threes.

[I]

I think I'm.

[B]

I'm going to become the happiest person in the world with social media.

[G]

Like lent about suffering somebody who works.

[D]

That's a great point.

[E]

You're supposed to give up something you

[D]

really like for somebody who works on the Internet and is going to get paid through not having social media. Is there, is there like a word for that?

[H]

He.

[E]

He did say I could. I can tweet two things a day for him.

[A]

So you have his log.

[E]

I want no off my account. Just saying hyphen. Dante, you could.

[D]

So you just tweet anything you want.

[E]

I sure could.

[D]

You sure could, Danny. Yes, you could.

[E]

But now if he's still looking at it defeats the whole purpose.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How did he, like, that's what.

[B]

Again, I know he has other things, but like. Yeah, like what? You can't just quit. Like, quit your job for Lent.

[E]

Well, hey. Okay, so his argument would be, I'm still blogging. I'm still doing every podcast. Like, he's retrieving tweets for. For articles.

[B]

I'm not defending all his job.

[E]

I'm not defending. I'm just curious what you would say to him.

[B]

I'd like. So you're just not.

[E]

You kind of had this talk with Dave.

[A]

Is he a part time employee?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

When I would text Dave when he's like, I don't want to get bothered by the Internet Internet.

[A]

I'm like, right.

[E]

None of us do, dude.

[B]

Like, I. You think I would like, I would love to just delete all of it. Live my life. But it is our job.

[D]

Is.

[A]

Is Dante part time?

[B]

I don't. I don't. I. I could. I've never.

[D]

Nobody knows, huh?

[E]

Oh, yeah. I don't think so.

[D]

He.

[E]

He blogs enough to, I would think, be considered full time.

[G]

I think he does a lot.

[A]

Does he have a key card to get into the building?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, I think he's full time.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I believe.

[E]

I believe so too.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You want to call him a cherry case?

[D]

I didn't say anything of the sort.

[A]

You would never. That's insulting as.

[D]

Why that's. Yeah, I'm gonna call another grown man that. I said nothing like that. How dare you show reading that.

[A]

I'm sure you haven't thought about that since he said it at all.

[D]

Probably. What? Have we not done rollback? Have we done roback?

[B]

I did rollback.

[D]

Oh, my weight. But I'm. I'm working on it.

[G]

You see that squirrel picture somebody did of you? Yeah.

[D]

I did not.

[G]

They made you the fat squirrel on your porch.

[D]

Oh, I've been that. Yeah, that's happened to me 400 times.

[G]

I saw it for the first time.

[B]

But this is your Fattest.

[D]

Not anymore.

[E]

You're actually fatter than a squirrel.

[D]

Well, that's not. That's just me. Stand. Wait a second.

[A]

That's pretty funny.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't even.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

The stain lighter than Frank motivates you, Brandon? Or does that not do?

[D]

No, not really. I mean I. I think I. I

[C]

think I didn't realize until Pete said it that yeah, Frank, like right at 278.

[D]

Frank was 278.6 yesterday.

[C]

Wow.

[D]

Which I think is. I don't even think we should use for like comparison's sake. That's a miracle. Whatever. Incredible. What an incredible thing.

[G]

Very cool.

[D]

I am a lot taller than he is.

[E]

Don't rub it in.

[D]

You're a lot taller.

[F]

Just heavier.

[D]

No, I'm not heavier. I've lost you.

[F]

Or you're not fatter.

[D]

I've lost a pound and a half.

[B]

You have?

[D]

Yeah. I was 2 7. Take a. I was 276. Eight today.

[C]

Have you eaten anything since then?

[D]

I ate my. My, my protein packed lunch. Yes.

[E]

Kyle, what do you think about people documenting losing £1?

[B]

You what?

[E]

What?

[G]

Oh no.

[E]

Just asking.

[A]

What?

[F]

You float a pound every eight hours.

[C]

He's going away himself.

[G]

Oh.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Oh no.

[A]

Does he weigh more than Frank? Wait, he's farting Good.

[F]

Smart.

[C]

Really, really smart.

[A]

I don't know. Would a fart inside you make your insides kind of float a little bit lighter?

[G]

Oh, maybe.

[D]

Oh, no.

[E]

Big Head just ran to the fart.

[A]

This is huge.

[C]

Anytime now, it'll just really be any.

[A]

What, the new scales?

[G]

What, the electric ones? Yeah, you gotta tap and then. Oh.

[J]

He gained 281.

[B]

Oh God.

[E]

281.

[G]

281.

[A]

Actually Brandon,

[E]

try with your clothes off.

[B]

281. He said the jersey weighs a lot.

[A]

It's a heavy jersey.

[B]

And now he's trying to recalculate it. He. He's messing with it. What was that?

[D]

276 0?

[B]

Yeah, he was messing with it. He was holding on to the wall.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

There he is, my petite man.

[G]

He's our grand petite.

[D]

There you go.

[A]

Was my little petite man.

[B]

So the 281 reading was wrong.

[D]

You made that up.

[B]

What?

[G]

You.

[D]

That don't say 281. I could DM saying 281 now. So worse. Never said so.

[A]

What?

[D]

Yeah, you're right. But it never said 281.

[B]

Oh, God damn it. Another 281.

[D]

But there was a. It was broken and it was saying like 260. And finally we figured it out and I got to 2. 276 0. So I'm going the right direction. I'm not eating any. God. Well, I'm just eating meats and chickens.

[B]

Stephen. What else you got?

[H]

Let's see.

[D]

Plus, I'm gonna get my haircut today.

[B]

Oh, there you go. That's at least a. Yeah.

[H]

How often do you eat in your room as opposed to a table or couch?

[D]

My room?

[F]

Never.

[A]

Never, Never ever.

[G]

I have a strict no food.

[A]

You eat in your room, Steve?

[H]

No, I don't. Not anymore. But like, I used to.

[D]

So what was the point of that?

[G]

4.

[H]

I don't know.

[E]

Like in the bed or.

[D]

As a kid, I would eat my room a lot, but not as an adult. My wife not gonna let me eat around the bed.

[H]

I feel like before I was married once in a while. No. All right. How do you feel about college basketball players wearing T shirts under jerseys? Titus, did you ever do this?

[C]

I wore everything under my jersey. I wear everything they'd give me. I wore long sleeves under a jersey one time.

[D]

Really?

[C]

So I was. I wasn't gonna play, so I didn't care.

[D]

Like a long sleeve T shirt or

[C]

like a skin tight.

[D]

Okay. Compression.

[C]

Yeah. Like peach socks.

[D]

I. I always have liked T shirts under jersey.

[B]

Patrick Ewing.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I. Yeah. I knew I would never get in, so I just kind of like would amuse myself by just putting on.

[D]

What could you get away with?

[C]

Weird combinations.

[B]

How much can I wear? Yeah.

[A]

When the Cavs won it. Were they wearing the T shirt jerseys?

[C]

They were.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That's the one damper on six.

[B]

I know.

[G]

T shirt jerseys and basketball.

[B]

You really got it.

[D]

They had a moment.

[B]

You can't wear bad jerseys when you're win. Like that's.

[A]

It ruins everything.

[D]

They were both wearing them. Right.

[C]

I hate the Anthony Davis T shirt idea. Like the skin tight.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Right here. If you're gonna do it, you gotta have a big baggie.

[D]

Agreed.

[B]

Like the Broncos have. I actually like the Broncos uniforms. But they changed their uniform. Oh, yeah. That sucks. They change their uniforms a year before they won the Super Bowl. It would have been cooler if they won them in those.

[D]

Yeah. I think of. I think. I think of Chris Mullen, St. John's When I think of T shirts under jerseys. I think Pat Gansey's a good one. Big T shirt underneath. Yeah.

[G]

You know how fashion swings back and forth. Do you think we're ever going to get back to super long basketball shorts again?

[A]

I think starting coming back down.

[D]

Suits are getting baggier.

[C]

Y.

[D]

Are you.

[C]

Have you seen. Well, I don't know how to like. The era that I played in was the most insane basketball short for long basketball short.

[D]

Who was the example player used guy who was that? I used T.J. ford.

[C]

St. Bon Adventures was just like, yeah, from 03ish to like 09.10.

[B]

And it's got to be a point.

[C]

The whole 2000 point guard is the

[B]

funnier one when it's like, yeah, that's fake. There's one that could be fake, right?

[D]

T.J. ford's not fake.

[B]

That's absolutely fake. Oh, that's not fake.

[C]

They were. They were that long. I brought some of my game shorts in one time. We lost Debo for two hours.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

It's like when somebody falls under the flag.

[C]

Couldn't find them.

[B]

Marquis green. That's not fake.

[A]

There's a picture of Greg Popovich that I like love wearing long gym shorts. It's one of my favorites. And then the. Who's the fat clerks? Director

[F]

Smith.

[A]

He's wearing the longest jean shorts and the widest jean. Let me ever imagine he's pumping gas. It's one of my favorite pictures of all time.

[C]

Sandler still hoops in like really shorts, right? Every clip that like long ass shorts

[B]

and like a golf polo.

[C]

One of my favorite pictures ever.

[F]

Holy.

[B]

That's so much fabric. That's more than jeans.

[F]

Much more than jeans.

[A]

Those are closer to jeans than shorts.

[B]

Jesus.

[A]

Yeah, it's up there.

[B]

We should bring that back.

[D]

I think it will cycle back around. Everything does, right?

[G]

He was saying 80s hair hasn't come back around yet.

[D]

I mean like, like John Stockton shorts. Imagine Johnson shorts in the 80s were so short. Like they had a moment a couple years ago.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[E]

Cargo pants are fully back.

[D]

Are they? Are they?

[I]

I thought they were.

[D]

Oh, I've been waiting on this.

[F]

I thought they were gone back.

[E]

They've been back.

[F]

Oh yeah.

[E]

You wear them.

[G]

I feel like cargo shorts got eradicated pretty solid.

[B]

But they're so. I mean, hold everything.

[C]

Cargo shorts were awesome in high school.

[D]

Awesome period. You're right.

[H]

Dude. Did you guys put stuff in the the.

[C]

I never.

[H]

Pockets or.

[D]

No, no, I would put stuff in the zipper pocket in the front, I think.

[C]

You know, it was big at high school. At least in my high school was like a really long lanyard for your keys. No reason. You just have like your like just hanging out.

[F]

Oh, out the pocket.

[C]

So you sometimes put your keys in that side cargo pocket and just let that.

[D]

Yep.

[F]

I would lanyard fly.

[A]

I had a Jager Meister one.

[D]

I had a spongebob one.

[A]

That's cool too.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

In middle school a lot of the boys had pocket protectors, like the chains to their wallet. And it's like what's in your wallet in middle school that you're protect.

[D]

Did they call it pocket protectors or.

[G]

I don't know, the chains, like.

[B]

Yeah, the chain wallet. Yeah.

[A]

JFK Jr. Wore one.

[G]

Really?

[A]

With his suits.

[G]

So cool.

[A]

Those might, all those might be coming back actually. Chain wallets.

[F]

I've been seeing them.

[D]

Did they ever go away? Because I feel like the people that were dedicated to chain wallets never quite gave them up.

[B]

If you could pick one thing to come back. I kind of want rat tails to come back.

[C]

I mean I said it yesterday. I want big hair. Yeah, the big hair is awesome.

[B]

Yeah, big hair was awesome.

[F]

I. I want middle aged women to have a middle aged haircut again.

[D]

Oh.

[F]

Like a comfort in that. No one's maternal enough to me anymore.

[B]

Well, it's. It's, isn't it? I mean Kate, I don't know, maybe you haven't gotten to this point but like when women in like their 40s, 50s, they just are like, I'm sick of washing so much hair.

[G]

I just don't give a. Yeah, I'm

[B]

just cutting my hair.

[G]

I'm getting close. I'll have a bowl cut soon. Probably chop it off again.

[B]

Yeah. Women don't really get enough credit for. That's a lot of hair. They gotta wash a lot.

[G]

A lot of hair. Some of the gals here leave it everywhere. Crazy long hair.

[C]

It gets everywhere. Yeah, it's everywhere.

[G]

That Dashboard Confessional song wasn't lying.

[I]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Screaming infidelities indicated the big Tracy McGrady suits with were funny.

[D]

I wouldn't mind those 2000s.

[B]

What about pegs? Oh, those should come on bikes. On bikes.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Those rocks.

[G]

Yep.

[B]

You had a buddy with front and back pegs.

[G]

The old 7 11.

[A]

The SEV is Old Navy still doing flag TE's? Yeah, I used to go get one every year.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Fourth of July.

[B]

Oh man, that was.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Old Navy was just like the old

[A]

Navy Tech vest was sick.

[B]

New school year. Let's just go get the same shirt.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Striped shirt.

[D]

I was all old over and over.

[B]

And a new pair of cargo pants.

[A]

Are they that's doing all right?

[D]

I think so.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

They got good. I think they do better with kids clothes.

[F]

Old native.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And Gap.

[C]

We bought. We bought baby clothes.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Maybe not too long ago.

[D]

I think kids clothes have become bigger.

[G]

I'm wearing their jeans right now.

[A]

You're An Old Navy jeans.

[B]

It's crazy how fast kids grow. Like, the. My kids clothes are just. You buy. I buy something in like three weeks later, it's like, well, that doesn't fit anymore.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I also don't really know their sizes, so every time I buy something, I up. That's something different.

[G]

Shoes are impossible.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

Kid shoe sizes.

[A]

It's highlights. I would love to get highlights.

[B]

Ooh, frosted tip.

[G]

I thought you're talking about the magazine. For a second. I was like, that rule picture.

[B]

Frosted tips would be sick.

[D]

I'm surprised frosted tips haven't come back big in Brazil.

[B]

I. I kind of want cash to come back back.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

Paying in cash.

[D]

How about coins?

[B]

Coins are gone forever. No bringing them back. They're just a nuisance.

[H]

Did any of you guys collect those state quarters?

[B]

Yeah. I mean, I didn't collect, but I think everybody had the map.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Pop them in.

[H]

Anybody finish?

[C]

They weren't as, like, rare.

[D]

No.

[C]

I don't know. Like, it felt like it was good when you started collecting. You're like, this is going to be a challenge.

[A]

Well, they were coming out waves.

[F]

Most of them are stakeholders, orders.

[C]

You could just kind of easily get them.

[B]

Did McDonald's bring back Monopoly too easily?

[E]

Oh, yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[B]

Not rigged.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

That was so awesome.

[A]

That was fun.

[B]

But it sucks now knowing that it was never a chance.

[A]

I. I liked, like, just winning, like a free fry.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

I think fitted hats are a weird one. They went out of style, but they never stopped selling them any less.

[B]

Like, I hate always.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

They had their time. Time.

[C]

But I did.

[E]

If you're wearing a backwards fitted hat now.

[B]

Yeah. Don't with that guy. He's got Fred Durst energy.

[G]

Mike Piazza, once again, very hot now.

[D]

I was gonna say, Kate, it seems like you would have been a big Fred Durst.

[B]

Oh, that's.

[H]

Yeah.

[G]

I remember for Halloween, the big costume was to be a Fred Durst girl. Remember the Fred Durst girls?

[D]

No, they were Fred Durst girls.

[C]

Fred Durst girl.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

It was just.

[G]

I guess you just kind of dress

[B]

like a T shirt girl.

[G]

Yeah.

[H]

Didn't you say in the last, like, year or so that Fred Durst is like your dream guy? Current Fred Durst.

[G]

Yes. What? Silver Fox?

[D]

Currently. Yeah, no, we've done this. He is hot now.

[G]

He's hot now and he's like, funny. He's like, still musical, which is always cool, like a fine wine.

[D]

All right.

[G]

Okay.

[B]

All right, let's wrap up the show.

[D]

Okay.

[G]

Is that somebody killed it.

[D]

You say so? Sure. Guess we'll spin the wheel now, Kate.

[G]

Okay.

[B]

My bad. By the way, USA Hockey, we're in trouble in third period. We're down one nothing to Canada.

[F]

Oh, a big deal. It's the gold medal game.

[B]

Yeah, I got to win this.

[D]

Oh, women's.

[E]

Yeah, love.

[D]

That's fine.

[A]

That sucks, man. No, that sucks.

[C]

Sucks.

[B]

No, we got to win this.

[C]

We got to win.

[D]

Let them have that one and we'll take the other one.

[B]

No, we got to win this one.

[C]

Let him have that one.

[B]

We're betting better than.

[C]

That attitude is that we're better than

[B]

them in women's hockey.

[D]

I hope so.

[B]

We are.

[D]

How deep into the third period are we?

[B]

Just. I think it's an intermission.

[D]

Okay. We'll be fine. Or not. I don't know.

[B]

All right, let's spin the wheel. Hopefully someone gets socks.

[G]

I was walking my kids in the wagon yesterday. This is for while the wheel's spinning. I don't want to hold up the show. And Chinese New Year, they had a boy. Bunch of dessert, rice crackers taped to the window. Said, take one. So I let my kids each take one, but it was like the local massage parlor.

[F]

Off the window.

[G]

Off the window.

[F]

And I said, window cookies.

[G]

Window cookies from the local massage parlor.

[F]

I said, they're just taped to the window.

[G]

They were taped outside to the window.

[B]

That tracks with you, though. And you let them do it 20 years from now when you. When your sons have taken over the yak and you're like, remember when mom had us eat window cookies? Then my son like, no way.

[D]

Yeah,

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, she did.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Right off the window cookies.

[G]

They were sealed right after we had

[B]

to in the treasure chest. That old ass Brandon.

[A]

Brandon's still here.

[B]

Can't retire. He's just got all of our kids.

[A]

You never, never recover from that house you bought your mom.

[D]

Ever.

[B]

Our kids are just busting Brandon's balls,

[G]

Tipping him over.

[A]

Big cat's son fires you.

[B]

I lost some weight. I'm 278. I haven't been 278 since 20. 26 bread.

[A]

And you're 90.

[B]

All right, let's spin the wheel.

[D]

I do want Pete socks.

[B]

Oh, nothing. All right, so B, you're out tomorrow?

[C]

No.

[B]

All right, Dan is here. See everyone tomorrow.

[I]

See you tomorrow.

[A]

I love you guys.

[B]

Bye.
