Oh.

[B]

Let us know.

[C]

Yeah. I just revealed it to Patricia last night.

[A]

Oh, the video was so cute. I saw that you did the game too.

[C]

But like I went in was like, we had a really tough like mad gab like, like on unfiltered and she's like, why are you filming me? I'm like, because it's just. I want to see if you get it and.

[B]

Oh, that's really good.

[C]

Cut the video. I said to Mariah, I had cut like a full two minutes. Really was like, I don't know what the this is.

[A]

That's so.

[C]

And then she goes, give me a hint. And I was like, okay, Heath and Mariah really wanted me to read this out loud on unfiltered does that.

[B]

I got to. I got to see the video.

[C]

It's fine. No, it's good. It's good. But it was just like, you could tell there was just some stuff I had to cut out before. I'm like, you're recording? Yeah. I was about to give up be like, you know what?

[A]

Nah, they're having a baby.

[B]

Let's. Let's just say don't do the Mad Gab game on me. When you want to reveal something or do a surprise, please. It will take a very long time.

[A]

Put it right in the face. Just.

[B]

I wonder how long that would have taken me, like, to do yours. Because I knew what yours was gonna say, but how long would have taken me to.

[A]

I think as long as it took you to get yours.

[B]

Well, the other one that just. That felt like Jibra. Did it make sense to you guys?

[A]

We got the A student. We got pretty quickly. I think we all kind of looked.

[C]

At each other known phrase though, or like straight a student. SpongeBob SquarePants mood hits.

[B]

Respectfully, I haven't heard that term in a very long time.

[C]

We're having a baby. You ever heard it? Just the phrase we're having a baby was a little tough for me to think that, like, that that would be something that Mad Gab would like have put out. Right? So I was just trying to think of like common phrases and then it just hit.

[A]

What's crazy though is like we knew we wanted to play that game. And I was looking online trying to find somebody that already did a Mad Gab type thing to see what their prompt was. Cuz I was like, I want you to read something in a Mad Gab style, right? But I couldn't find somebody that did it. Like, and like use their sentence. And I literally went into chat. GPT. That app is out of control. I said Mad Gab style sentence for quotes. We're having a baby. Instantly it spit that out.

[B]

That's wild.

[A]

Instantly spit that out. And they go, do you want me to try another one that's a little bit harder to get? And I was like, yeah. And then it gave me that One.

[B]

Like, for me, AI, I just have such a love hate relationship for it where I'm just like, yes. Like when it helps you come up with a mad gag game. Yes. But then I see an AI being used for, like, to blow up. I just like, I hate it. Get rid of it. This is madness. This is madness. Dangerous.

[C]

You know what Catalyst is? It's more of like the web building AI version. So it's not like it can like code out, like a full idea that you have. Like yesterday my brother was like, I need that. What if there was like, wordle, but it was like history and that you got a bunch of history events, but you don't know what time period it is. But you have to put them all in order of how you think it all happened in time. Like, it could be.

[A]

Are you wordle.

[B]

Wordle style.

[C]

Like, wordle style. Basically you're giving these five different tiles of historical events. It could be like the invention of the telephone, first man walks on the moon. Something like that.

[B]

Doesn't give you the crossword, but it's by themselves.

[C]

You have to try to get it in perfect order. Yeah, and my. And my brother puts that, like, idea into countless.

[A]

It did not spit.

[C]

Yeah, it made it. But my brother then looked into it. New York Times has already invented that game.

[B]

Like, oh, okay.

[C]

But. And I don't want to say the other idea of my brother was like, kind of working on. But it's crazy though. It just can spit it out for you. It doesn't look that good. You definitely, like, you now have the backend code for it. So then you need to get like a designer to give it that nice.

[B]

User experience polish also give you coding for it. Like, give me the coding for this.

[C]

It can include the code, but like, I don't know, it all depends. But Catalyst is known for, like, really helping build it out. The functionality.

[B]

Oh, Catal.

[C]

Oh, the Catalyst. But I don't even know we have to pay for it. Or like last night, you know, I was pitching to my cousins, like, the pontoon boat ideas. We also.

[A]

I think we're gonna have it make.

[C]

A picture guy Fieri. We were like, make a guy Fieri theme pontoon.

[A]

That's insane that it can give you that.

[C]

And then I was like, make a pickle theme pontoon. Make a corn pontoon.

[B]

The corn is fun, you see.

[C]

Helped, like, give visuals when I was like, pitching it to the cousins, like, so you can kind of see. See, we're on the same wavelength about it.

[B]

Have you. Have you tried. Has Anybody? Done. I feel like this has been done. Santa Claus, everybody. Santa Claus.

[C]

That's been done.

[B]

That's been done.

[C]

Christmas pontoon in like the middle of summer.

[B]

Oh, that's funny.

[C]

Okay. That one. That one. Usually there's one every year that's like a Christmas one.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Yeah, I know. Good. But hey, you're thinking creative.

[B]

Yeah. Like, I think seeing Christmas not during Christmas is always funny.

[C]

I agree. I agree. I love myself a little.

[B]

I love a Christmas movie. Like, like in the middle of like June right now.

[C]

I'm getting like Halloween like vibe. Tick toc. I'm already like getting excited. I'm like, I need to calm down.

[B]

When is your favorite holiday?

[C]

Right. Yeah, no, Christmas is my favorite holiday, but Halloween is my favorite mood.

[B]

Yeah. You know you like being a spooky bitch.

[C]

Yeah. Because it's like, I think Halloween comes from Christmas. The whole world's going to turn around for Christmas. I mean, at least your world in terms of like decoration.

[B]

Halloween is like a community thing.

[C]

Yes. Halloween has to come from you. Halloween will not always find you.

[B]

Halloween is only in the U.S. right? Like, there's not people in fucking.

[C]

Yeah, they got.

[B]

Yeah, it's only in the US I.

[A]

Can'T see people in like Canada.

[B]

Germany's not celebrating Halloween.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Like trick or treat.

[C]

Knock knocker fest.

[B]

But that's what they have in October, not Halloween.

[C]

There are versions of Halloween, I think probably America. And I would say Canada for sure does Halloween as well.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Because I feel like Canada made all like the good children movies and stuff.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Like, I always get confused with Canada. Like what's going on in Canada.

[C]

People are. People are existing.

[B]

I feel like they're just. It's just so in the middle.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

When it comes down to everything just so in the middle.

[A]

I think people don't realize how beautiful Canada is.

[C]

Very clean.

[A]

It just even like the countryside.

[C]

Just like I wish I've never even like explored it properly. The only time I ever went to Canada was when that we had a layover in Vancouver, which was.

[B]

That was the only time you've been to Canada.

[A]

Me too.

[C]

Yeah, I've seen Canada. I've gone to Niagara Falls and have looked it into it. And I've been to like Montreal Airport, but got it.

[A]

I want to go to Banff so bad.

[C]

Yes. I hear people rave about bam.

[A]

It's like one of the most beautiful places in the world.

[C]

Calgary, like Alberta. Calgary for the stampede. That's like a really fun time.

[A]

So special.

[C]

We should do a Canada trip.

[B]

I went To Casaloma.

[C]

What is that?

[B]

I don't know. Is this, like, big castle that we got to visit? It's like a. It's like a touristy thing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

When you go to. I think it's in Toronto.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I don't know who lived here. I forget.

[C]

But like an old real castle.

[B]

Like, just big, giant castle. To me, it was giant because, like, we were kids, but it was what we did when we visited my uncle in Toronto, and that was really cool. That's all I remember. I was there for a week.

[A]

We should go back.

[C]

We should have refreshed school Canada.

[B]

Yeah, we'll see my uncle.

[B]

Yeah, now. Now she's in.

[C]

I'm still like, it's. It's. I want to say it doesn't feel like a breakup, but it's gonna hit me worse. Like, a month from now.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like right now. I'm trying to tell myself, oh, she's just not here today.

[B]

Oh, you know what it feels like right now? It feels like we're doing a Patreon bonus episode.

[C]

Yes. That's what.

[B]

That's. Normally it's just the three of us.

[A]

That' my safe space over there. I can go over there and just.

[C]

Know I may want to couch swap or something. I'm kidding. I don't.

[A]

I don't think you're. I don't think you're gonna like that one better.

[C]

Oh, really?

[B]

Yeah, That's. It's less comfortable than what you're saying.

[C]

Maybe that's the real one. New chairs to like.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, that's.

[B]

Honestly secretly why Mariah's like, I'm done. Was the couch. If she's like, it's either me or the couch. And we said the couch. Sorry, we're picking the couch.

Thank you, Accelerator. We love you.

[C]

Okay, I. Today I did something a little different for consuming caffeine. I went down and got myself a matcha. And what did you think? Well, I love matcha. I. But I don't have it that much. I had a matcha when we were in Santa Barbara down there when the farmer's market was out. I got a matcha. This is what I get. I get the matcha with a little oat milk and vanilla syrup.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

That's just what the girl offered me. She goes, do you want the vanilla syrup? I go, yeah, let's do it. Loved it. But then I had it this morning. How much caffeine is in a matcha? Because I'm not feeling anything.

[A]

I don't think.

[B]

It's not like, even when you drink a coffee mat, do you, like, really feel it?

[A]

I don't feel it right now.

[B]

I don't feel like when I drink coffee doesn't make me feel any different.

[A]

My caffeine intolerant, like, I drink. So, like, literally, I'll probably have three of these a day. Like this size coffee.

[B]

Coffee.

[A]

Cold brew.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Damn. I needed, like, a little bit of creamer in there. I need, like, especially if I'm drinking that much, there's no way I could drink three straight black coffees.

[A]

Like, at least three of these a day.

[C]

Wow. You're going to Starbucks. You're making it.

[A]

No, so I. So I ordered this. I woke up as I was getting ready, I just placed an order. So, like, as soon as I was done getting ready, I knew it was at my front door and I grabbed it on my way out. But most of the time, like, if I'm in town, I have the. The jugs from the grocery store in my house.

[B]

You should Heath. You should really try to make, like, drip coffee.

[A]

I've made drip. I just don't like hot coffee anymore.

[B]

No, no, sorry, not drip. Sorry. It's. It's like the. It's the coffee that you make at home. You use like a. Like a cheese. Like you do. It's the whole thing where it's like, it gives you the most potent, like, cold brew or.

[A]

So I've. I've always wanted to make cold brew at home, but there's like, you have to be very specific with your times. So you would, like, put it in, and then it has to be in for, like, eight hours in the water. Otherwise, it's, like, too much. Like, there's, like, a lot of timing that goes into it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And, like, if we're gone all day, like, recording or doing something I don't want to, like, and then it's wasted. I'm like.

[B]

I've just noticed that, like, the, like, when I buy cold brew from stores, like, coffee, like, iced coffee, it just doesn't taste good to me. There's something.

[A]

Stoke is the best one that I found. The st. Okay.

[B]

Yeah. Well, that's the one that I like. I'll drink. It's still not.

[A]

Do the purple.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

It's different. The green. The green is good, but the purple is better. It's the extra bowl.

[B]

I think I've tried all of them. It does not taste as good as, like, getting iced coffee from, like, a store from, like, a coffee shop. So it tastes different.

[A]

It's the cream, too. So for you, like, from me tasting, like, straight black coffee, that is the, like, flavor that I like the best.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But a lot of it has to do with the coffee shops, like, with what cream they use, how they prepare it. Sometimes they'll do, like, they'll, like, whisk it up to, like, make it, like, a fluffier cream, and it gives it a different.

[B]

Yeah, there's something. There's something that I'm doing at home that's wrong, which makes me want to just go to a coffee shop and get an iced coffee.

[C]

Well, I don't know what an energy drink I feel like when I have an energy drink.

[B]

Good thing we have accelerator.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

Thank you. Ow. You bastard. Now it's all shooken up here.

[B]

Here Gets me.

[A]

But I've been on a Matcha kick.

[C]

Lately, too, but okay, so I just. According to the Internet, if I had 16 ounces of matcha, I probably had around 140 milligrams of caffeine.

[B]

There's no way.

[C]

So it has to be not. I feel like I had 80 milligrams of caffeine.

[A]

Look up how much caffeine is in 16 ounces of, like, a cold brew.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

To just to compare and see if it's the same. But yeah, ever since Coachella, when Bretman made me the matcha, fell in love with it, and I was like, I need to make this.

[B]

But also, the way he made it is, like, super. Unhealthy. Like it's, it's. That's not like a regular matcha.

[A]

I had him do it with no added sugar. Like no flavors.

[B]

One did we all have the same thing.

[A]

He made mine different.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

So he asked me if I wanted to like add sugar to it and like other stuff. And I was like, just matcha with a splash of oatmeal.

[B]

Oh, okay. That's how like, you would want to make it.

[C]

Super thick.

[A]

It was so good. And then I went home and I bought the starter kit. Like the little thing with the bowl and the.

[C]

Right.

[A]

What's it called?

[C]

The sifter or like what it is? Yeah.

[B]

Bamboo.

[C]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

It's such a fun ritual of making it, though.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like you have your stuff set up and then you're going through the steps. You got to put the.

[C]

Okay. But how is a coffee. What is a coffee shop doing making that matcha?

[B]

They do, they do the same thing.

[C]

There's no way they're back there doing that.

[B]

Every time I get a matcha at a coffee shop, I see them.

[C]

I see them one at a time. Or do they do just one big batch and they're just pouring out that matcha like a orange juice?

[B]

You know, some of the ones, some of the ones I've seen them make for me, they're always whisking, so I'm not sure if I'm always. Maybe the first batch, but I see them whisky most of the time doing it the way I do my matcha and I love it. I don't do it a lot because, like, they never have a sugar free one. I love the flavor, the lavender flavor in my matcha. I don't know why. I normally don't like lavender flavor in anything. Starbucks has the lavender in the matcha. Oh, have you had it?

[A]

Like a little green and a little bit of purple on top.

[B]

Try the lavender. There's just something that it fits with drinking a matzo. As for lavender and it makes you feel like a hippie. It makes you feel like you're going. You're just like.

[C]

Put on a laughing dress. Yeah, Just like, where's.

[B]

Yeah. The moment you drink it, you're like. You're floating in incense. You are floating in the mountains.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

All right.

[A]

You just starts taking his shoes and socks off.

[C]

Oh, he's.

[B]

He's grounding himself, sucking your toe. Because everything is just like. You're one within yourself and the earth.

[C]

Back to your question, though. 16 ounce of cold brew typically contains around 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine. Starbucks, 16 ounce cold brew, 205 milligrams.

[A]

So not too far off.

[C]

Not too far. But, like, don't they say you're only supposed to have like 400?

[A]

They say that match is like a cleaner sustained.

[B]

Yes. Yeah, cleaner.

[C]

Caffeine cleaner. No jitters, less anxiety, which can you.

[B]

Can you type in your phone really quick?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What's up? How much caffeine is in a typical pre workout? Like one serving.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

300.

[B]

Yeah, okay. 150 to 300.

[C]

See, sometimes pre workout, I act like that doesn't. That's not.

[B]

Oh, I come. The ideas that I come up with when I'm. I drink pre workout and then I go to. I'll work out. I'm just like. And I'm just like, as I'm lifting, I swear my body runs normal. Like, yeah, it runs normal. Like, I've taken all my medicine. My medicine. I've taken my Lexapro. Everything works. And the moment I come home and it wears off, I'm like, oh, I, I, like, don't want.

[C]

I try to do half a scoop of pre workout.

[B]

I don't like, I even go above. I give a little mountain over, like a little hill.

[C]

You take like, the ones with niacin in it where it like, makes your. I can't do the itchy.

[B]

Oh, no, no itch. I, I don't like itchy. I, I. This one. Well, I take the, the zla pre workout.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And it's, there's this clean.

[B]

It's pretty clean. I get no jitters from it. And it gives me like the, Yeah.

[C]

I do Alani pre workout.

[B]

What?

[C]

Alani. Alani. Alani.

[B]

Oh, sorry.

[A]

That's not how it's pronounced.

[C]

Every time. I, I know it's a lottie, but I say Alan all the crazy time.

[B]

There's, there's not one I've ever looked at and went Alani. Like that. I feel like it's such a forced. Alani.

[C]

Lonnie. I don't know. Alani. I want to think it's like, you.

[B]

Know what I do like? I do like Alani. Because it does sound very chemical.

[A]

It sounds, it sounds very scientific.

[B]

Yeah. Which it's like, and you know, something like creatine.

[C]

Alanine.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It sounds like another com, like chemical compound.

[B]

Yeah. But is that like, good or bad that it sounds like a chemical compound?

[C]

See, I thought like, Alani sounds like, like lanai, like a Hawaiian island. And it always has, like, that kind of Vibe.

[A]

There was. Okay, so there was something back in high school. I don't know if you guys remember it. It was called Jack 3D.

[C]

Yes. Yes.

[A]

That stuff.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah, it was banned. That was actual, like, crack cocaine in a powder form.

[C]

Pre workout. This.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, that he.

[C]

That look that talked about this.

[A]

That stuff was crazy.

[C]

And there was spark, too, that people were, like, selling on the streets.

[B]

Yeah. Look how many different versions there are. That's. That's all different ones in different garages.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, that was.

[B]

So this one got banned because it was just too much caffeine or it was just like.

[A]

It was something in it that made feel like Hulk Hogan. You just.

[B]

I want that.

[A]

It was crazy.

[B]

So that's, like, the only time, like, I feel like I'm like is pre workout. But that's because I feel like there's people that can drink a little coffee and feel it, and there's some people that can't.

[C]

I know. I'm just always trying to find the sweet space of where I want my caffeine at, because I don't like it very late in the day because it keeps me up. I'm always just thinking about when is the right time to consume it, or.

[B]

If I do take it too late, then I'll just pop into melatonin to, like. I know that's all bad.

[A]

How many milligrams in down.

[C]

How many milligrams of melatonin are you taking?

[B]

Well, I did the lummy sleeve, so I do, like, two of those.

[C]

How many milligrams are those?

[B]

I don't know. I don't know. I like to.

[C]

I love testing show. We have 12 milligram melatonin that I bought on Amazon because it was the highest reviewed one. And then I was asking my little AI because I was, like, getting. Giving my sleep data, and I go, do you think I should take a melatonin to light tonight? Because it looks like I'm lacking two hours of sleep in my total, like, sleep count.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And he goes, yes, but take, like, 1 milligram or maybe 0.5 milligram of melatonin.5. I look at our bottle. It's 12 milligrams. And I'm like, how much.

[B]

How much melatonin is usually in. In these gummies?

[C]

Well, I don't know. What are the.

[B]

Let me sleep with 5 milligram. Oh, so let me sleep is 5 milligram. But what does each gummy have?

[C]

Okay, then that has to be 5mg each gummy. It Would be each gummy. There's no way.

[B]

No, but they're serving as two gummies.

[C]

Okay, so then it's 2.5. That's reasonable. Then that's.

[B]

Oh, God. Okay.

[C]

You would take a 12 milligram if you had. Were jet lagged and you were trying to get back to. To get all your sleep in.

[A]

Do you guys have the same thing, though? Like, I like it for the fact that it helps me go to sleep. I feel like I'm getting a deep sleep, but the morning, like, when I wake up, I'm wrecked. It's kind of like I have a hard, really hard time waking up in the morning after taking them. I just want to keep sleep. It's way too, like, intense.

[C]

I know melatonin is not really supposed to make you feel that great the next day, but at least you got your consistent sleep in and it will benefit you in your circadian rhythm of getting that more in line. It's not about helping you the next day. It's about being back on.

[B]

This is actually. So I decided to take it last night right after we finished recording at Alicia's. I. It was like. It was like. What time was it? 11, right? 11:30.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. So I. She gave me two gummies, two let me. Two let me sleep gummies. I took it. Normally I take one, but I took two and I was like, oh, I really wanted to test this out. I'm about to go home and then we have to wake up early today. I woke up this morning and I didn't get like a. I think you just got to take it at. At a good time. So when you wake. So your alarm is not waking you up too early of your melatonin sleep. Because I got like a perfect amount of sleep last night.

[C]

Not an after. When wearing a whoop band. The alarm on it, it just vibrates. Which I think has been my favorite way of waking up. Because you're not getting this auditory thing. Like, you gotta rise now. It's this like, thing I know instantly. My body is like, let's wake up. But it just vibrates. It's so gentle. It goes.

[B]

So would you say, like, it wakes you up slow, like, Like a little?

[C]

Well, everybody likes to be woken up different ways. Some people rave about their hatch alarm clocks that like, show that gradual light. It's the sunlight with the very gentle music. And Patricia has that on her side of the bed. But I've associated that. That's not my alarm.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I kind of like it when I hear. Because I'M like, oh, she's got to get up. But I don't have to get up. This. I don't know. I just enjoy the vibration and it, it doesn't annoy me. Like, you're like, oh, shut the up my phone. Like, there's not that angry moment. It's just me. My eyes are already closed, but I know to wake up. I'll just share.

[B]

I'm really happy. I'm like, I feel like my body's becoming better because I now I just wake up before my alarm. I, I for, I think for months now, I have not woken up to an alarm. My alarm always plays after I wake up, which is really nice. That means I'm like getting enough sleep. I'm waking up, like, naturally, without.

[C]

Yes, I always do. If you have something like, really important, like the morning of, like, you have to wake up.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Do you, like, think about it a.

[B]

Lot throughout your usually flights? Yeah, like, if I have like an.

[A]

Early flight wake up.

[C]

My body will naturally wake up knowing we have something really big and important.

[A]

Isn't it weird sleep? You know, like, it's like there's something weird going on, like, in your brain knowing you have to wait while you're sleeping.

[C]

Like back in the day, going into battle and you're like, fuck, we have that huge battle tomorrow.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

A 75% chance I'm dying tomorrow. You're like, I can't get a good night's sleep at all. You're up just like by the campfire in the morning. Just like, I couldn't sleep all night.

[A]

If you, if you knew you had to wake up to go to battle. Are you not going to bed? Are you just sitting there drinking?

[C]

I feel like I would be like, everything over, like, big chance.

[B]

Big ch.

[A]

Some more.

[B]

There's a big chance. We're all not boys. All of, all of us. There's a chance that we're just not going to make it. Let's just get up.

[C]

Yes. With your wives. At first light, we will go into battle. I'll be like, you'll be with your wife. And you're just like, I don't know, babe. I'm just so nervous about.

[B]

There had to have been like, I'm.

[A]

Going to throw up.

[C]

Open the tent. Open the tent. You good? Sorry, guys. He's just nervous. Battle tomorrow, you know. How is he? Fine. Yeah.

[B]

There's gotta have been packs where they're just like, you know what this. I'm not dying tomorrow. You want to die tomorrow? No. Let's get the out of here. Like, they all just like half the group leave an hour late to.

[A]

Sorry guys, overslept.

[B]

Running up late.

[A]

Sorry guys, oversleptono last night.

[C]

Drink too much mead.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

There has to have been.

[C]

I couldn't find my sword. Did you. Did you grab the sword before we left? Like, no, I thought you had it. Like. You gotta be kidding me.

[B]

Is that how they're talking though? Just like that. Did you grab my sword? No. Oh, God.

[C]

Or is it more like not mine. Oh, gosh. Go fetch the squire.

[B]

Or she grabs a sword. Oh, no. Get it for me. It's her last night. It's their last night. They're gonna play. They're gonna play a little dirty.

[A]

Well, how about you take your sword? Oh, did you bring that over here?

[C]

Do you think in the middle of the battle you'd be like. And then you look at someone dead, you're like, damn, that is a nice sword. But I bet, like swords though, how to. They're like, probably like golf clubs. Like, you got to get them like right fit for you. Right grip, good laugh. You know how to like. Yeah, I just want a good ass shield. Give me a. Because it's the arrows, those coming like, you're so focused, you're like. You gotta be like.

[A]

I always think about that from movies when you see like the people up on like the. The top of like the castle and they just go like this, everybody at once. And they rain arrows down. And then you just sit here like, and you hope that nothing hits you.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And if you don't have like one of those armor things, you're just, you're.

[C]

And then, and then your shield is now covered in like 20 arrows that's poking everyone's eye. Like, get back. I was like, God, wait, like, like you're telling your friend. Can you just chop the arrows off so I can keep going?

[B]

Those people were built differently, man. And that was just a life. That was it. It was either you're gonna be at home with your wife and then all the guys are gonna look at you like that, or you gotta go out and you have to fight. You had two choices.

[C]

Was there etiquette and rules, though, in battle? There must have been, because sometimes when you see the movies and you know, it's like hundreds and hundreds of people all fighting. I'd be like going up behind the enemy who's trying to fight my friend and just stab that guy in the back.

[B]

Just like, go around the back. Yeah.

[C]

No one's ever going from the back. It's always like two on or one on one.

[B]

There's definitely etiquette because it's like they go first, then they go first, they move forward and then they go.

[A]

That was like, that was like back when they would like do like, like a firing line where it would be the front row. Everybody just shoots whoever dies. You just drop and then you step forward.

[B]

How's your proper etiquette? This is war. Just go for it.

[C]

The email, the memo of what the rules are. He's not playing by the rules.

[A]

He took two paces.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

And then in movies, if one per one. If once I didn't do proper etiquette, they looked as the villains, but in my head it's like, like I think they're smart.

[C]

Can we get uniforms? How do I know who's who? Like, they're all like wearing these.

[A]

Swinging at the wrong people.

[C]

Like, did they all get it from the same blacksmith?

[B]

They're wearing the same armor.

[C]

Yes. I need some colors because paint, like, was not that common. But I know that they had different types of fabrics. But I feel like the movies exaggerate that more than how it really was.

[B]

Like, and usually it's so like respected. Like if you're in the. More in the front of the line, it's more respected.

[A]

Like, yeah, cuz you're like first to die.

[B]

You're first to die. Right? But like, if I, if I was there, I'd be like, I want to be the flag in the back. Z, like the big flag in the back of the.

[A]

Like this.

[B]

Oh, trust me, I'm on the best.

[A]

Hitting it like drum line.

[C]

You be like, like you'd be watching your friends get killed just drumming like.

[B]

But now these days I'd be like, oh no, I'm running Tik tok.

[A]

I'm doing social clips.

[C]

Do they get paid at the end of the battle too?

[A]

No.

[B]

No.

[C]

So what are we doing?

[B]

They're fighting for your country, for your people, for your land.

[C]

But don't we gotta pay rent? Like, I don't know, do they just. You line up and go. I was in the battle. Like there was.

[B]

There was no rent back. I'm okay. What do you guys do? What time are you thinking right now? What time are you thinking right now? Because the time. I'm thinking the age.

[C]

Like Medieval ages. Oh yeah, that's like the Middle Ages. Medieval Times.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Those levels of there is no rent.

[A]

You built your house and that's just what you lived in.

[B]

But like, if that person dies, who's.

[A]

The house go to your son.

[C]

Boy.

[B]

No, but what if you don't have a.

[C]

There was rent, I think, I think.

[B]

I don't think there was rent.

[A]

I think you built your own property.

[C]

No. What are you talking about? No.

[B]

Someone would he. Somebody would take over the property. But if he didn't have any kid.

[A]

I think there was shillings that you would. You got a couple gold coins.

[B]

Couple coins. And then the house is yours.

Workplace stress is now one of the top causes of declining mental health, with 61% of the global workforce experiencing higher than normal levels of stress. To battle stress, most of us can't wave goodbye to work. But we can start small with a focus on wellness. For me, I love doing incline on the treadmill. You already know that I watch my favorite shows. To me, that is my me time. You know, it's. It's how I feel good. Makes me forget about everything. Makes me just feel relaxed.

[A]

That's right. And everybody's got their own thing that makes them feel good. For me, I love going on a vacation. But while a vacation is great, it isn't a long term solution to stress. And don't forget that therapy can help you navigate whatever challenges the workday or any day might bring.

[A]

Zane and Heath thank you Better Help for sponsoring this podcast. We love you. Do you know about like the wing 2 SARS. So, like, my last name.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

What?

[A]

So there was, like, a cavalry, right? They were called the Winged Hussars. And they would ride around on horseback with these big wings, like, up on their back that would, like, scream and whistle when they would ride.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Super, super dope. But they would have these long spikes, and they would, like, impale people, and they would holy the heads stacked up along the spikes.

[C]

Oh, hell no. Oh.

[A]

So they were. They were considered, like, most badass calvary in the world.

[C]

Dude, that seems tough to balance. I'd be like, whoa, yeah, yeah.

[B]

How are they fighting with that thing on?

[A]

I just want to know if I'm related to them.

[C]

Probably.

[B]

Or maybe your fan. Maybe your family is the first to die from a hussar. So they're. So they wanted to honor.

[A]

So sick. I've literally never seen that through that time.

[B]

Why have I never seen that in a movie?

[C]

And a lot of people died. A lot.

[B]

Our families didn't die, clearly.

[C]

I know. We made it.

[B]

We made it.

[A]

They overslept.

[B]

That's why our families were the pussies. They ran away from battle.

[C]

Because if you were, like, the fittest little, like, kid in town, you'd be like, all right, you're a perfect soldier. I would be like. I would try to do not lift a thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The Mac Matt King, that little boy over there, he looks like he can fight.

[C]

And you're like, sorry, I can't. I can't.

[A]

You guys want me to make you.

[C]

Guys some bread before you knitting? I'm gonna be like, I gotta get you guys.

[B]

I would grow out my hair.

[A]

You guys look chilly.

[C]

Oh, this is gonna keep you nice and warm.

[A]

Be doing everything I could.

[B]

I would literally. No, I don't want to say it.

[C]

I keep getting. Do you keep getting phone calls? Like, scamming phone calls at all?

[B]

They'll come in waves where, like, I'll get it every day, and then I'll stop, and then, like, there'll be another month where I'll just get it every day at least once.

[C]

Finally, answ the other day, and I was like, hello? And he goes. And it sounded like the guy was 50ft away from the phone. He's like, yeah, this is a recorded call. Do you still drive this car?

[B]

And I was like.

[C]

I'm like, tell me where you're from. I know.

[B]

Be just. I think they need to come up with a better system or be smarter with it. Like, keep me on the phone longer than the first three seconds, and then I'll actually probably stay on me in.

[C]

Yeah, a good hook.

[B]

Like. But these calls, like, do you want to win a trip? No, tell me I won the trip. Yeah, you just won.

[A]

They tell you you won a trip that you didn't enter. Hang up.

[C]

Did you see Apple is going to be introducing like phone screening. So if it's. You can make it a setting for. If it's a number that you do not have saved in your contacts. When that person calls, they get this mini message that will say like, who are you? And what do you are looking to get from like this person you're calling? And then you get a message going, hey, this person's on a line. They're this person from so and so. And they want to know this and you can accept the call. So it's like, wait, that's really your own concierge? Which is brilliant because I had this whole fucking idea six months ago where I thought, you know, with elderly people how they're getting scammed all the time.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Buy a service for your 80 year old grandmother that's a concierge that basically is a person who handles all of their phone calls and they put them through to your grandma.

[B]

But it's, it's like AI concierge. Right. Or is.

[C]

Are you saying, but I bet you could charge wealthy people more money for the peace of mind that it's a real person who is your grandmother's concierge.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

So I always had that idea like, and then sure enough, they come out with.

[B]

Or I'm just like, hey, don't call my grandmother, just call me. Or call like another family member.

[C]

But you just hire for 100 bucks a month. Month. Someone who takes all of your grandmother's calls and you give them your grandmother's contact list. Like these are the only people she's gonna know. Anyone else who's not on that list, you should answer and try to figure out who they are and what they want before you put them.

[A]

They get scammed all the time. Yeah, I don't know. Especially with like the changes in technology, like the dmv, like the plate stuff that's going on.

[C]

Oh, what's happening?

[A]

Like that you went through a toll. It's like the biggest scam right now.

[C]

Oh yes. I keep getting those all the time where it's like, if I saw that the text messages.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, that's really bad.

[C]

And I wish they could figure out where like that's the, like, you know, it can. You may think it's from PayPal, but it's like a capital I, but you think it's a lowercase l. And so you think that's coming from the real PayPal.com, but it's a fake one.

[A]

In.

[C]

The Gmail has that where, like, you think it's from Gmail, but it's not. PayPal, Instagram, they'll have the cat. It's like, yeah.

[A]

What I do every time whenever I get an email, it'll be like, coinbase, reaching out.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I do this and then all I do. See what. Click on the email that sent it to you to see what email it came from. And literally 100 of the time, it's from some random set of letters and numbers. And then at like a stupid Gmail. My favorite one is never from the business.

[B]

Yeah. My favorite one's the nstagram.reply.com where like, you almost think it's real, but then it's like, oh, they're like asking for like, hey, can you log in your account? Maybe something.

[C]

And they would do that also in the beginning days of Instagram, like, you've been selected to be verified.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

So login. And you thought that was from Instagram. Did that happen? Eliza, like, Liza got scammed.

[B]

Something like that. Yeah.

[C]

Got like locked away for a bit where. Because she saw. This is early days.

[B]

Early days. Yeah.

[C]

But I keep getting them for Tick Tock where it's like, you've been verified. I'm like, oh, oh.

[B]

It will never. They'll never go to you and say you've been verified.

[A]

It will just be turned on.

[B]

It will just be turned on.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

What a cr. Like, think about the people out there all over the world right now that are working with a scam company and they're just doing that too. I literally. How do you live? How can you do that?

[C]

I think it's such a. So much of a group thing where you're there at an office with all these other people and they're making money and those are people that live in your community. And you're like, well, shit, that's the best fucking employment I can get it. They just take it and they don't care.

[B]

And I think their mindset is, well, if they're stupid enough to do it, then they. They should.

[A]

Then they deserve, they deserve it.

[B]

It's something I. I'm sure they have some sort of way that they think about it where they think it's like, oh, this is okay. Yeah, I'm just trying to beat our family.

[C]

Fear constant all the time going, I think I'm Getting scammed, but I just don't know it like, yeah. Or that I'm.

[B]

Remember the car? Remember when I was trying to find. I don't know if I was trying to sell my car or. Yeah. I was trying to sell my Jeep on this website. Remember that? I was telling you this and you're like, oh, like, why would you do that? I was trying to it. I was. I paid these people to put my Jeep on this site.

[A]

Like an auto trader.

[B]

It was something like that. And I paid 200 bucks. And I was like, okay. And I'm like, I refreshed the page after a few days. I'm like, I don't see my Jeep. And then I tried calling and like, it. What didn't exist anymore. I was like, oh, okay. They just got me 200 to put it on a site. Which then it hit me like, that doesn't even. That's not even a thing to like, get your. Like, pay 200 to get your. On a.

[C]

What?

[A]

It's not that expensive to list your cars on those classifieds, but that's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, that's insane.

[B]

Does. Is that. Is that even a thing, though, where you pay. Auto trader.

[A]

I think. I think auto trader charges like, five bucks to list your car.

[B]

Okay. So I thought the 200 thing was gonna give me, like, you know, but.

[A]

I think there is ways to do sponsored to put it to the top.

[B]

That's what I.

[A]

You would pay it yourself.

[B]

Like, which I thought I did 200 to this person. But I also, like, I forget what I even called to even, like, get me to that person. Talking like it was.

[C]

Oh, you.

[A]

You sought out this scammer yourself?

[B]

Yes, I. I think I saw.

[C]

Gosh.

[B]

I saw it out. Oh, no. You can never get me. You can never come to me with a scammer. But I can find scammers for sure. That's easy.

[A]

Ever since that thing at the Denny house where I got scammed with my bank account. I check my bank account every single day to see if there's.

[B]

But remember, you call or. Remember we were. You were trying to change. You were trying to fix your car. And we were laughing on the phone because we were vlogging, but the lady heard the giggles and thought that we were also trying to steal, like, your identity. So she locked it again.

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

Because as a banker, if you hear, like, people laughing in the back as you're trying to.

[A]

Like, you're like, okay.

[B]

In your head, you're like, this is this. This sounds like. Or anything. Any red flag you probably just, like, end the call and lock it.

[C]

I was hammered at a party one time. Time. And thankfully, I was paying attention to just what was coming through on my phone. And it was a charge at Best buy for, like, 600, and then another charge at, like, some electronic store, 500. I'm like, what is happening? And I had to, like, call Amex. And I'm like, someone's using my card. It's not good about it. But, yeah, they're very good.

[B]

Very good with it. They're so good that you can just do it. You could probably just do it after you buy something.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Have you guys had this experience, too? And it's been like the last last four or five times that I've flown. You know how they're super serious. You can't say bomb on an airplane. You can't have any sort of. Like, you can't talk about anything like that, sarcastically or not. You gotta be so far against, like, saying anything or when you're on it, when you're on a plane or being suspicious. Even at the airport with tsa. I don't know what it is, but the last, like, five times I've flown, the TSA agents are cracking jokes that I don't know how I'm supposed to go along with it. They'll literally on my way to come back to LA, they're looking at me. They're going through, like, my IDs and everything, and they're looking at my boarding pass. They're like, just got to make sure you're not a KGB agent.

[C]

What? What?

[A]

And I was like, that's not. I wanted to be like, oh, you're on to me, like. But then I'm like, he was obviously joking. He's like, oh, looks like he came back clear. And then.

[B]

No, that is. No, that is a completely inappropriate for them to make that joke.

[C]

That is like a get that is at least covered in Ukraine.

[A]

I, like, I wanted to go along with it and, like, be funny back, because I knew he was being funny. And then another time, the person asked me something about, like, a belt, and they were like, you're gonna have to go take off the belt. I gotta make sure you don't have a bomb in there. And I was like, make sure I don't have a. I want it to be like.

[B]

They said bomb.

[A]

Yes. I was like, not this time. And then I was like, I shouldn't have said that.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Because that is wild, Heath.

[A]

You can't. You're joking to me about it. I don't know if it was like, like fishing.

[C]

Yeah, no, that's very inappropriate.

[A]

I thought it was so weird, but they've been cracking like bomb jokes or like drug jokes. And I'm like, this is weird.

[B]

I mean, they do that to the wrong person. That's a big case. Like imagine, imagine my dad or my. Or my little sister who just clearly is Arab. Or like their name on the id and they're just say something like that.

[C]

That done. I left my funny bone at check in. Yeah, I left my funny bone.

[B]

We're not, we're not, we're not making jokes.

[C]

We're not cracking jokes.

[A]

And then they look at me like, I'm like, I don't know how to take a joke. I'm like, well, my heart.

[C]

Even when I put my bags through security, my heart still pounds. That, like that moment though, where your bag gets that thing and then it goes, yeah, like to get checked.

[A]

Something might be.

[C]

I still think, like, what did I do?

[B]

Did I leave something stupid in there or not? At least it's more like, did somebody else leave something stupid in my bag? You know, people play pranks all the time. I hope someone didn't prank my back today. I know I'm already late for this life.

[C]

It happened at a bachelor party where, like there was a guy at the bachelor party who like his whole fucking bit, the entire time was like, walk around with a knife. I didn't think it was very funny. It wasn't like, it was like a steak knife almost. And this fucker, like, he would just walk around with it. I'm like, it was trying to make it like his whole bit, the whole weekend. I wasn't friends with them. Someone at the bachelor party put the fucking knife in his bag. Bag insecurity. And then he had to get like massively stopped. And he's just like yelling at all of us in the group chat like, who put the knife in my bag?

[B]

Like, oh, that's terrible.

[C]

Yeah, terrible. I didn't do it, but I was.

[B]

Like, I would some, I think, check in on that guy. I think there's something wrong with him.

[C]

Yes, I think, I think he's done.

[B]

Some weird things that you guys should, like, do a little investigating on.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you ever find out who put it, like, implanted it?

[B]

It was the kid.

[A]

Somebody put it in his bag as a joke when he went to the airport. So, like, planted the knife in his bag.

[C]

It wasn't. It wasn't anybody I was close with. You know how like you just. Bachelor parties, it's like your friends. Friends, buddies or whatever. And you're like, I don't know, you meet some characters.

[B]

I know the bag opens. He the knife. He's like, oh, it's too late now. Get away from it. Grab the knife in the back. Let me hold this plane. Like we all want to make. You know how bad sometimes I want to make a good joke on a plane. Usually just keep it in.

[A]

Somebody actually just got walked off of a plane for making a joke recently.

[C]

Oh, just a joke.

[A]

Yeah, it was a bomb joke.

[B]

A bomb joke. Yeah. Those don't, like, land very nice on. On flights.

[C]

Nope.

[B]

Oh, and when you're in the air. Oh, done for. Like, do you think. Do you think the penalty is like higher when you're in the air already and you make a joke like that?

[A]

So it's got to be because then they have to ground the plane.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I would be so pissed if I'm up in the air just ready to go home and then somebody says something stupid. All right, guys, we gotta turn the plane around. We've got.

[B]

Just because it takes so long to get out of that terminal. And then like, you have to get that plane on the door.

[A]

Did you see just recently, like, I think yesterday or the day before, the plane that had to be brought back because the engine, like caught fire and was smoking.

[C]

It happens. I'm like, it happens.

[B]

You know, at least you get that play on the ground though, though, like seeing an engine on fire like that in my head, I was like, oh, the window.

[A]

We're taking off. I go, no way.

[C]

But like, are you.

[A]

Are you raising your hand? You're like, excuse me.

[C]

Yeah, definitely. 100%. 100%. Yes, 100%. What's weird is like, a fire would scare me that much.

[B]

Really. What would scare you more?

[C]

An explosion.

[B]

Well, that's what it starts with. First a fire, I think.

[C]

I don't know. Or I'm worried about landing, like tires being in line.

[B]

Oh, yeah, I tire doesn't go down. That's.

[C]

That's scary stuff. I worry more about landing more than anything.

[B]

Me too. I'm the same way.

[C]

Like, turbulence doesn't bother me. Oh, but a big thing with like airplane freakouts, you know, people who get put on like no fly list. One love an airplane freak out. I want to watch it from every damn angle.

[B]

Me too.

[C]

I want to know this person's damn story. What happened?

[B]

I wish they get interviewed every time.

[C]

Yes. I want follow up interviews going. What happened that day on the.

[B]

How long have you been on the no Fly List. How long has I. Have you been struggling being on the no Fly List?

[C]

Oh, and if I found out out, like, somebody we knew was on a no Fly list or I know one person met somebody and then. And they seem great. Oh, my gosh. Becky's awesome. She's great. Like, okay, Becky. Becky's you in the friend group. All right. And then one day I just decided Google Becky and I felt find out that back in 2018, she had. She snapped on a United flight. I am going around gossiping that to everybody because. Sorry, maybe. Maybe hold the. That's where we draw the line now. I'm thinking out loud. Do people. Can they redeem themselves and they had a bad mental episode? They got themselves.

[B]

Depending on what it is, I think they can redeem themselves for sure.

[C]

But there's a level of trust. I'm not getting on any flights with Becky. No, I'm sorry. I'm not going on a trip with Becky. Yeah, I'm not doing that.

[B]

But that's not. It's not fair for Becky to have. So for everybody to know that every flight. You know what I mean? If Becky is behaving herself, I think she deserves to, like, to not have everybody know that she had a bad mental episode.

[A]

So it depends, because I just saw one, like, probably like three flights ago. There was a girl that was having, like, an episode. Like, while we were getting ready to, like, take off. We were about to start taxiing, and she was in the exit row, and she stands up and she just starts screaming. And, like, flight attendants, like, you were on this flight? Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God, My baby.

[A]

Four people come over, like, the flight attendants, the workers, and they're like, what's going on? And she's like, get me off.

[C]

I gotta get out of here. There.

[A]

And she's having, like, like a. Like a panic attack. And, like, you could tell, like, it was nothing that was, like, aggressive. It was nothing that was scary. Like, you thought anything was gonna happen.

[C]

Panic attacks. I understand. She.

[A]

She was having a panic attack, and she started saying she was claustrophobic.

[B]

Oh, okay. That's not bad.

[A]

So she, like, you didn't know at first, like, what was happening. So everybody's watching. We're like, what's going on? And it's a probably like five, ten minute ordeal. But watching the flight attendants the way that they, you know, came to help her as opposed to just like, ripping her off.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So she was having this panic attack, didn't want to be on the plane, needed to get off immediately. They're like, we can't. Like, we can't go back and, like, get you off right now. Like, what's going on? And, like, watching them talk through it with her was actually really nice to see because they were like, what if we took you out of the exit row and put you in, like, a normal seat? Because I think, like, I don't know.

[C]

Yes, she gets that pod. It is like, we're good. Lights out.

[B]

She does it every fly.

[C]

Champagne. Thank you.

[A]

Worked again.

[C]

We're good.

[A]

But they put her in a normal seat because I think she was just, like, not, like, okay with the responsibility or, like, if, like, thinking about the possibility of crash landing.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But, like, luckily somebody was nice enough to switch seats with her, and then she was good.

[C]

Good.

[B]

Fuck. That got me first class, I guess.

[C]

Is there a pod up there?

[A]

Okay, I guess I can't stay.

[B]

She opens that curtain.

[C]

Hey, everybody.

[A]

Sorry about that hot towel.

[B]

That's good. They got. They got to come. Also, like, I hate how inconvenient it turns when they need to remove somebody off the plane. Like, the fact that they have to do a full lane. The amount of, like, it takes, like, two, three hours to completely derail.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Do a detour once to get somebody up. They need to come up with a system where they injection seat. It's either an ejection or, like, something flies up. Like. Like a. Like a. Like a side plane flies up, and they're like, all right, ma', am, you're.

[C]

Gonna exit through and open it up. 3, 2, 1.

[B]

Let them get off and not up. Our travel plans.

[A]

You know what I mean? If you're in the air and you're doing that, you're like, what? You have to skydive out.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Figure it out. It's your.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Here's your shoot. Go figure. Wherever you land, that's your punishment.

[B]

Like, you both better stop fighting, or you both are gonna have to skydive out of this fight. Do we want to skydive out of this fight? And I bet you. I bet you they will.

[C]

Walk up.

[A]

With a parachute backpack, and you're like that. That's it.

[B]

Scare people. Scare people. I, I, I don't care. I don't care who I'm sitting next to. You're my best friend, you know, for the rest of the flight.

[A]

Lock him in the lavatory.

[C]

Yeah, just like a separate closet. A chokey.

[A]

It's the most important thing, the plain language. Let me read it, let me understand it.

[B]

I need like baby words.

[A]

I don't understand the medical jargon Break. They break it down for you so easily.

[B]

For example, it shows you estradiol and testosterone. Those are hormonal imbalances that can drive acne, dryness or oiliness.

[A]

Me and glucose and insulin, your blood sugar swings that trigger breakouts and inflammation. There's all sorts of great things that you could learn about your own body right now.

[C]

[B]

So apparently this girl that I know, she was. She was blacklisted off of like every American Airlines flight, right? And we were trying to figure out what happened. Like, what happened. And this person, she would not like. No, like, and a lot. She's friends with a lot of you and nobody knows why she was booted off, right? And then somebody told me that the reason why she hasn't said anything and the reason why she's blacklisted off every flight was because she left, like, was given a dude, like a blowjob in the seat. And then flight attendant saw it. It was something like that. And that's how she got.

[C]

Oh, God.

[B]

First it's like, first of all, like, how do you even feel? Horny enough or comfortable enough to think that's okay. Like in an open air. Like in my head, it's like the, The. The only place you can really get away with it, maybe where no one's going to see you, including a flight attendant defendant, unless she's walking by, is like a JetBlue pod where it's pretty enclosed all four ways. But then that's only one person. You can't fit two people in there. You can't have someone like, like everyone's gonna notice that person walking in. That's the only way you can really get away with it.

[C]

It's on board.

[B]

Yeah. And I. And I know right now it was not a first class. It was probably like an economy.

[C]

Oh, God.

[B]

So it's just like if I saw.

[C]

That, I'd be like, sorry, because you like the people appropriate.

[B]

I would just be like, like, are you sucking his.

[C]

No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't call it out mid flight. I wouldn't.

[B]

I would do it in the middle of the blowjob. Or I'd wait. I'd wait.

[C]

You see this. Exactly what it was.

[B]

That's. Sure it was.

[A]

And then.

[B]

But you know what I'll do? I would wait till the guy's like about something. He's like, oh, I'll be like, blowjob.

[A]

Zane, Zane.

[C]

You'Re A just shine that light right on him. Like.

[B]

Yeah, you click there like help button and bing.

[A]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[B]

But, yeah, we're. Again, we're not sure if that's the case, but someone may have revealed it. But she's definitely banned off of American Air implies, like, why would you be banned off a flight and you're not telling anybody what it was so catty.

[C]

I'm like, hey, guys, let's all book the same flight. American. No, we're all doing American.

[B]

Yeah, sorry, Becky. We're doing American.

[C]

Why can't you do American?

[B]

Cheapest flight we can find your code.

[C]

I already booked the ticket.

[B]

I just need your loyalty number.

[C]

Wait, why is it yours? Going through yours. The only one that I bought for the bulk tickets and.

[B]

And her friends have tried reaching out to American to find out, and they obviously, it's like the.

[C]

Hi, girl.

[A]

What did I do again?

[C]

I just.

[A]

I can't remember. Can you tell me what my case.

[B]

I have the right to know what I did to be on a black. On. On the fly. The blacklist, the fly list.

[A]

That's really funny.

[C]

George just pulled up this image, and it's from the aisle. And you can see all these people who are watching their TVs, and they are watching the actual cameras, the onboard cameras of the landing gear, of the cameras that are around the plane from the outside just to make sure that everything is good. Because people have such this fear that something will go wrong. So they'd rather just watch to make sure.

[B]

Is that the reason why they put those cameras up because of these. Because of accidents?

[C]

Or is it just transparency of just being like, hey, if you want to know where we're flying, what altitude we're at, there are people who I think would like to know the metrics of what's going on.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

To soothe their thoughts.

[B]

Oh, you know what I'd be doing? I'd be like a putting AI imagery of, like, recording it. You could do a lot with that.

[C]

Do you. Do you like the Blue Angels?

[A]

I used to be obsessed with them. When I was a kid, I was.

[C]

Getting sucked into watching Blue angel videos. Videos. So if you don't know the Blue Angels, they're part of. Of. Are they part of the Navy and they are. I would say. They do shows, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And it's almost like this club within the Air Force of the Navy.

[A]

Like, you have to be the bet. Like, literally the best of the best.

[C]

The best.

[A]

It is the most incredible pilots elite.

[C]

And I was watching a video. Have you seen the video of them like practicing, but they're all just like in a boardroom conference room. They all have their eyes closed and they're just saying like their radio commands over to each other and they're doing the motions with their hands and it's so intense, like the, what they're doing in the air. And I just can't imagine just being that elite of a pilot to where you know how to navigate upside down and be so close and you're not touching the other day perfectly.

[B]

You're not looking at the other. You can't really like focus on other planes. You just know exactly what you need to do. It's in your spot. Right. That's crazy to me.

[C]

I'm always so fascinated by those people that like, truly committed their like whole life and passion to those types of careers that when you're a kid, you know, you're given a fire truck or you're given the police officer. You're. You want to become a pilot, you want to become a doctor. Like people who actually like end up doing it. You become an astronaut. Like you made your passion your whole entire thing. The Blue Angels, I was like, do they get paid? They do get salaries. Salary. But then I'm like, what's the incentive of like joining it? It's because you get so well networked joining the Blue Angels to where everywhere you go you meet hot, big time celebrities, politicians, everything. Like the network that you get from being a Blue angel post, that is, you'll always like get job opportunities. It's like becoming an Eagle Scout.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Of the, of the Navy pilots.

[B]

So becoming Blue angel will get you like top jobs in like Marines.

[A]

Yeah, you're just, just, you can do anything you want.

[C]

They're not doing combat though, right?

[A]

I think there are people that are like, like maybe X combat, like that were fighter jets, like jet pilots.

[C]

And it's like a little publicity. It's like the Savannah Bananas.

[B]

Bananas.

[C]

But doing tricks. But it's admirable at the same time.

[B]

Do they have a Tik Tok account?

[C]

Yeah, I think so. The one I was on was some.

[B]

That's insane. That looks like an, like an image created on Photoshop.

[C]

Golly. What are we doing, y'? All? For the people listening, these are three planes basically stacked on top of each other midair. That's perfect.

[B]

It's perfectly stacked.

[C]

That level of trust, coordination, timing, all.

[A]

Of it in communication about how fast they're going too. Like the speed that they're at while doing these maneuvers is, you know what.

[C]

Y' all don't have to do it.

[A]

Like, I'm a little, like, all for show, right?

[C]

I'm like, a little. Little stop. And it's. I don't even think, like, anything's bad has happened to the Blue Angels. How about they had.

[B]

I don't think they. I don't. I think there's been accidents in other air shows, but I don't think. Never the Blue angel air shows.

[C]

I'm not going. I'm not.

[B]

I can't see.

[C]

I can't look. Have you seen the Family Guy bit where it's like people who go to an air show and think all. Everyone there wants something bad to happen. So it's like, oh, it's crazy.

[B]

You're pretty much waiting for something bad to happen because it is such a dangerous stunt they're doing.

[C]

I'm not going.

[B]

Or, you know, like the b. Like when you're at, like, a show and the bike that in that ball. I'm sitting there like, oh, my God. I wonder if it's gonna just.

[C]

It's not if. It's when. It's when.

[A]

Oh, it's crazy, though. Like, so one of my good friends was like, he's a pilot in the military and he was training and going to school. Like, he's been doing it for. I don't even know how long now. But he wanted to be a fighter jet pilot. Like, that was his dream. And he went through, like, all the things and, like, the flight school and, like, the training and. And, like, being in the military for this long. But he ended up being in half an inch too tall, and you're not allowed to do it.

[C]

Half an inch too tall. What's the max height? Could I not do it?

[A]

So it's about leg room in the cockpit. Oh, and they said that he's an. A half an inch too big for it to be, like, loud.

[C]

Get out the boat.

[A]

And he was devastated.

[B]

Allowed or comfortable.

[A]

Now he flies, like, cargo.

[B]

Oh, damn. Just. I have it sort of now he does cargo. That's not. That's not right. They should make him. They should make him a plane.

[A]

I would get a knee reduction. I would be. You know what? Cut an inch out.

[B]

Why or why can't they just put it. I know. I'm guessing it's like the biggest plane that they have for Friday address that he can't even fit in, right?

[C]

Yeah. Have you seen the videos of, like, people who are in the Air Force or they get assigned what planes they're going to be flying and they get so excited. There's, like, a big projector on a wall, and they're like, oh, right, right, Billy, you're gonna be flying the F50 bomber or whatever. And they're like, yeah, but they're always so excited. But I've never seen a video where they're like, hell, I don't want to.

[B]

Be driving just this because what, like, which are the best of the best are you flying?

[C]

They. They just seem thrilled every time they get a sign.

[B]

I think they're just thrilled to see their name, that it's on there another year. Like, oh, I get to fly something. I get to be part of the team.

[A]

And you're flying the USPS Transport.

[C]

We're watching fighter jets land on, like, you know, Battleships. That.

[B]

That's so crazy to me.

[C]

Catches them like hell. What are we doing?

[A]

Imagine the idea for that, though.

[C]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[A]

No, we're just gonna run, like, a cable across, and then when they come and land, they're gonna catch it, and it's just gonna pull them back.

[C]

I would mess up so bad. I bet. Oops.

[B]

I need to watch. I need to watch a video of that. Because I, I.

[A]

It's really crazy. So they come, like, you know, the ship.

[B]

I want to see, like, a real one.

[A]

They come flying. The plane has, like, this little, like, hook catch thing. And as they go by, they. They're landing and it grabs, but they're.

[B]

Not going too fast for the cable to grab, right? Fast. They're going fast well before the cable. Before the, the cable hits their hook it.

[A]

They're going fast enough to where they can't stop.

[C]

They're going fast enough to where it works, like.

[B]

And it doesn't, like, up anything. Oh, there's pretty crazy.

[A]

But they practice sometimes it, like, doesn't, like, they're not low enough, and it doesn't catch. And then they have to, like, circle around and come back and, like, do it again. Again.

[C]

Very impressive. Wow.

[A]

That's how they pick up the. The banners.

[C]

What banners?

[A]

When you see people flying in the air, like, pulling things. Oh, the banners are, like, laid out like that. So they take off. You don't take off. They come back and then they scoop it and pick it up.

[C]

I never knew that.

[A]

Yeah. So they're not starting on the ground with it.

[C]

That's a nice.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

That's a nice game.

[A]

Pretty cool.

[C]

Yeah, they just pick up Trojan condoms banner. What's that?

[B]

They see all the banners laying out. All right, what's next? What's next?

[C]

Yeah, you get to get some flying in. See the. See the. See the view. And I wait.

[A]

Who are the pilots that are writing in the air?

[C]

Who are they?

[B]

What.

[A]

What company? Who are you?

[C]

Similar. The same company that's flying the banners around for sure. And they just have a different type of plane that does the where they're putting out.

[B]

Yeah, I heard they used to be Blue Angels and then they moved on to riding in the sky. Sky, right. Yeah, they're really old now.

[C]

That's why it's definitely the same company.

[A]

Can anybody just go get something written in sky?

[B]

I think so. You just got to pay for it.

[C]

Yeah, you just got to pay for it. And you got to get that timing right. Guys, look up, look up. Do that for us one time.

[A]

I don't think so.

[B]

No, for us.

[C]

Oh, no, this is a wait. No, no, you're right. The day you got Big Red back in that vlog, where you go, okay, guys, on the count of three, look up. Oh, you thought I in the video, I take my hands off my eyes and I look all the up in the sky. Cuz I think got something done in the sky. And then Big Red was right in front of us.

[B]

Yeah, no, he rope it out Big Red in perfect timing.

[A]

I'm like, look up. And then you look up and this guy says, look down.

[B]

That's. That's actually really funny for something so stupid, like back down to something so silly.

[C]

They just did one recently for that show. Oh, gosh. Why am I blanking on it? The one one that was on Hulu about the people who live in that fake world under the mountain.

[B]

Oh, wait. Oh, paradise, Paradise, Paradise.

[C]

Remember, like there's that one episode where they go, they're lying to you. They get that like put in the sky. They did that in Santa Monica and it freaked people the out where everyone's like, they put. They're lying to you.

[B]

Was it a promo for the show?

[C]

Yes, it was a promo.

[B]

That's a terrible promo for the show.

[C]

Yes. Everyone was like, what does that mean there?

[B]

No, that is. That was a bad call of the back.

[C]

What are. If you didn't know about that show, it would just be like, huh, they're lying to you.

[B]

We're about to put out a new 911 documentary. What should we do to promo? It's like that. It's like we should do. We should bring down a tower.

[A]

I could have just wrote the name of the show.

[C]

Apparently the new. The new Bin Laden documentary on Netflix is really good.

[B]

Oh, I know a way to Promote promo episodes.

[C]

I heard it through. I started it yesterday. Just a little bit of it, but I watched it. It's really good. It's weird watching it now is. We're like 33 years old because you.

[B]

Had no idea, like, as younger, like, what the.

[C]

They were doing that time in just 2001, as an adult now, because we're kids of that era, and we always have just this mystique in our heads about it. Yeah, it's kind. It's trippy watching it.

[B]

Yeah. But it didn't happen 2001 when they killed him, right?

[C]

What are you talking about?

[B]

Bin Laden?

[C]

No, they didn't kill B. Laden until, like, 2010.

[B]

It was like, years later.

[C]

It was.

[A]

It was a little.

[B]

It was crazy how, like, long. They were just, like, looking for him. Just finding the right moment to.

[C]

Did you know that, like, the Rock was the first person to tweet it out?

[A]

To tweet what?

[C]

Well, the Rock. So there were. There was buzz that. That bin Laden had been captured and killed.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

And the Rock tweeted that night, I just found out news that's going to, like, change everything. God bless America. God bless the troops or something. And everyone was like, what does this tweet mean? But all the news organizations were hearing about it, but they needed to get official confirmation. But the Rock was the first person to tweet out something, Elaine, that he had got information from, like, a Navy SEAL who he was best friends with, saying, we got bin Laden.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

Yeah. And it happened like, I. Like, 11 o' clock at midnight.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

At least on the east coast, because there's that episode of the Newsroom where it's.

[B]

And it's crazy when it was like, the day of or the day before, they had that whole conference. And this was a part of the show, too. They all had to keep the secret that they're about to, like, go and kill bin Laden. But there were. What were they saying? They were making jokes about bin Laden at this dinner. Dinner. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[C]

You're talking about the. The show at the newsroom.

[B]

No, no, it was. It was like a real life. Like, there was this, like, the day of the. Of the mission that they're gonna do that. They had a whole, like, dinner where they had, like, comedians coming up, and they were making jokes about capturing bin Laden.

[C]

Oh, maybe the correspondence dinner.

[B]

Yes, the correspondence dinner. And they're like. They're making jokes that day, but no one knew that that night this was happening. Oh, yeah, Yeah. I didn't Know that it was crazy. Yeah, but that was. I think that was on the show, too, that we, like. We're watching it.

[C]

The show. The documentary, though, I think is more like about. It's not about 9, 11, but it's very about, like, bin Laden himself and, like, why this all happened. Doesn't his son live out here?

[B]

What?

[C]

I think, like, bin Laden. Well, bin Laden, I feel like, had, like, 12 kids. I think one of his sons, like, has a house in Beverly Hills. Like. Yeah.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah. But he's, like, totally, like, removed from the whole situation. Like, he has his own rights not to be involved with his dad. Absolutely, though. That is true.

[B]

Boy, I bet you they got high on him, though.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Bin Laden's half brother.

[B]

Brother.

[C]

Oh, it's his half brother. Okay.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

He throws a party. I'm like, like, brother, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but, like, yeah.

[C]

How are you doing? He's eating, like, the donut holes. Like, come on.

[A]

He's filling them.

[C]

Yeah, he's filling up my grout. Sorry. He knows how these get.

[A]

He's in the middle of breaking the ice cream. A little chocolate Z.

[C]

You get caught, like, talking to him like you're drunk. Like, whispering in his ear, like, Zayn Hajazi. Talking with bin Laden's half brother at Catch la. Like, the headlines. I can see it now. Shots like crazy.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Have y' all seen that? Chick Fil A kid working the drive through? Have you seen this?

[B]

No.

[C]

Welcome to Chick Fil A. How are you today? Oh, is that what you want? This kid is.

[B]

But is he doing it on purpose or is that how he actually talks?

[C]

Yes, but, like, I have such an issue with it because, like, he's doing this, like, whole bit for. Welcome to Chick Fil A. All right, what can I get for you? A lemonade. All right.

[B]

Oh, I hate it. I hate it, I hate it.

[C]

And everyone's, like, in the comments, like, yo, it's hot outside. Let's keep this going. As a Chick Fil A employee, this kid should not be doing it. And now he's going viral, and people are coming and filming him. But it's like, as a Chick Fil a employee, it's, you know.

[B]

Does he say kale salad?

[C]

Like, he just.

[B]

He's. Oh, found it.

[C]

Do you.

[A]

Do you think that their tactic of going into the line before they get up to the window to order is actually faster?

[B]

Yeah, because apparently, like, in and out line moves very fucking quick because of that process.

[C]

Yes, because you're. Because that moment of people having to wait, wait, wait up until just one moment, a human can get an order done faster fate to face than, like, having to be like, yeah, can I get. What was that? What do you want?

[B]

It makes sense.

[C]

It goes by a little faster. Sometimes, though, they do pull back, and they won't be there. But, like, when they know it gets past a certain point, like the fact.

[B]

That their order is ready before they get up to the counter, that means it's already going to be quicker, even if the line's super long, because the people in there are working faster than the line is moving.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If you think about it. So everyone's just getting their orders the second they get. Get up there, and they're already paying for it while the guy's up to the window. It's actually very smart. That's why when you see it so long, people don't mind waiting in the long line because it's like the same equivalent as waiting in, like, a. Yeah.

[C]

It'S like a Disneyland ride that's always, like, moving, and then you just hop in it and keep going.

[B]

Mind you, I never see. I never see it move while I'm driving past it. I never see it moving when I'm driving past it.

[C]

But when the line goes all the way out to the street, I'm not to going. Going in.

[B]

But people are still waiting, though. People are still waiting, which is crazy.

[A]

Yeah. If I'm able to pull into the actual parking lot to get in line, I'm okay.

[C]

But if I'm gonna cause more traffic for PE for people just trying to go down the street, I'm not participating.

[A]

It's bad. They're opening one in Nashville.

[C]

Oh, yes. You told me.

[B]

Oh, wait. That would be the. That'd be the most east coast in n out, right? That's crazy, right?

[A]

Crazy. People are gonna freak out.

[B]

Yeah. You don't want to open just one. You got to open multiple, because everyone's gonna come to that, and it's gonna.

[A]

It's gonna be a disaster for, like.

[B]

I know. I know. More than a year.

[A]

It's gonna be.

[B]

Because look how packed it gets. Even the ones out here.

[A]

And there's a lot.

[B]

Every single one is super packed. They need to make more.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

And, guys, for everybody listening, it's good. It ain't that good, though. It's.

[B]

Yeah, it's like. It's definitely overhyped, but there's something.

[C]

Something.

[B]

There's something homemade. It feels something, like, heartwarming about it.

[A]

It's good. But it's not people. People really hype up. In and out to the point where.

[C]

I'm like, you know what?

[B]

I don't like what in and out does. I don't like the buns. I hate that It. Like, the outer part is so hard because the way they cook it, where I have to peel off the edge of the bun so I can eat the sandwich.

[A]

I don't. I don't know if I've ever had really.

[B]

It doesn't like, the edge of the bun to you. Doesn't feel. Feel like. Like it's. It's.

[C]

It.

[B]

I don't rip it out, right. A toasted bun.

[A]

I just say untoasted.

[B]

But don't toast it if it makes the edges like that. You know what I mean?

[A]

I like a toasted blend.

[B]

No, but you like the edge when it feels like rubber.

[C]

I think you need to get out of your head.

[B]

No, I know. I think. I know. I know I'm right.

[C]

I don't know. If I was the manager of that Chick Fil a, I'd be like, hey, we need to cut. Cut the stick.

[B]

But it's probably bringing a lot of business to their site, though.

[A]

Do you think he was always like this as soon as he got.

[C]

I don't think so. Yeah, the interview was like, yes, ma'. Am. No, sir. I just. I'm gonna hear. Hear to follow rules and be a perfect Chick Fil a employee. He was bored one day out in that hot sun and decided to do a little bit, and it went viral. And now he's.

[A]

He probably doesn't want to keep doing it, but now, yeah, you know, they're coming up to the line like this. I'll do the waffle. Like, waiting for him could possibly.

[B]

He might even hate doing it. And, like, he just feels like he has to do it.

[A]

I know this.

[C]

This kid is beat when he gets home. Like, meaning he is tired. Like, he is done with the day on a show. He's. He started something, and now he's stuck with it. And that kid goes home, you know?

[B]

But what if Chick Fil a loves this so much, right? Where he goes, you know what I'm. I want. I think I want to quit Chick Fil A. He's like, no, we're gaining so much business. And he goes, I want you to double my pay.

[A]

Then he gets cocky. He asked for a raise.

[B]

Like, honestly, if. It's like, if you're bringing in that many customers a day.

[C]

Chick Fil A. Chick Fil a is not that type of Place like you.

[B]

Don'T know, maybe they gotta recover. They gotta re re up from Sunday. That they all the.

[C]

What happened to no Chick Fil A sauce? What happened to that girl? I bet. I think she quit. Like remember? No Chick Fil A sauce. Lemonade.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Well, I think she's not like full time influencer now, but like she is.

[B]

Well, that's why I'm pretty sure.

[C]

But I think Chick Fil A was like, you can't keep doing this because this is not who Chick Fil A is. Is like Chick Fil A is not a place for you to like express your personality and put on a show.

[B]

And make it about you to that now. I think because they know how big.

[C]

Social media is another place on the planet except Chick Fil A. I could see them just being like, we're not doing this.

[B]

Or like the. What's that place, the Dickies, where you're an like waiter or resort. Dick's Last Resort.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I would. I would love to work there for a day. I think I would kill.

[A]

Have you been to one?

[C]

No, I.

[A]

It's really funny.

[C]

I.

[B]

There's no line, right?

[C]

No, it's always funny.

[A]

It's just a normal restaurant and if you didn't know that that's what it was, you would have no idea. Yeah, you would just go in as a normal. You'd be like, oh my God.

[B]

I love when kids bring their grandparents in there and not telling them what it is. And literally. This is rude. You are rude, you know that?

[C]

Yeah. But Dick's Last Resort is all fun until they write something that just hurts your feel. What does yours say? And then you put on yours and you're like, get this off. This isn't funny.

[B]

Damn. Yeah. No, I've always wanted to go to something like this, but there's.

[A]

I wonder if there's a line to where that they.

[C]

I mean like.

[B]

Yeah, I'm sure. Like, you know, we all like, there's.

[C]

A definitely like if they're like said.

[A]

Something about somebody's weight and they're like, you can't do. That's way too far. And they're like, boohoo. Fucking cry about it.

[B]

I think you're a law.

[C]

You can't. I bet they have a whole basket full of fun little things that they just write like has a small penis, stuff like that. Yeah, but they wouldn't go like could loot, could lose a few pounds.

[B]

I Matt. I think they do. I think those places do do that.

[A]

Ordering and they're like. And salad.

[B]

I swear I. I swear I've seen a video that where they did that to a customer. It was like. I think it was even a joke like that.

[A]

Okay. Okay. So you know, they're probably right.

[C]

Like just bottoms and pick.

[B]

Like I don't think they care care either. I think they're just like, don't come then that's. This is literally where we are meant.

[C]

To make people True. Yeah, okay.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Like they couldn't be like talking about race.

[B]

No, no, that's. That's a lie.

[C]

I think they can make fun of you physically.

[B]

Yes, they make fun of you physically and they make fun of you. They're just rude to you. They're just like whenever you order something that they say whatever. Okay.

[C]

All right. Is that or you want to. Yeah, you want to add some more?

[A]

You probably want to add some more, right? And I'm guessing the order.

[B]

And also you don't want to go to.

[C]

I'm guessing the orders not done.

[B]

You don't want. You also don't want to go to a place like this. And they like half ass it, right? You know what I mean? Like, you will lose people. Like people won't want to go. It's like, oh, they like half assed it. They're not even like that mean to you. Like they're just like, whatever.

[C]

Did you ever go to Wiener Circle or the place in Chicago? Didn't David always like go Wiener?

[B]

Isn't that a. That's. That's a restaurant in spongebob.

[C]

Wiener Circle. But what's Wiener Circle? Isn't that the place? It's a hot. It's the hot General Weenie Hudson Weenie Hut Juniors. Yeah, that's Junior Junior Wiener's Circle is the one I think in Chicago where they're really rude to you. Like they're. But it's like a hot dog stand.

[B]

You like, oh, that place is crazy. Oh, there's no line.

[C]

They're like, like you. Yeah, you better shut up.

[B]

There's no line with that place.

[C]

Tall ass turkey. Like, they.

[B]

That is a private business. That is not a franchise. Very private. That place is funny. I love.

[C]

Yeah, I just love them. Have a good day. And they'll just flip you off and.

[B]

As like if you're watching that for the first time on video because it's not like a franchise. It just looks like just like regular like ass food truck type plays. It really like, it shocks. You're like, oh my God. They're really rude. But then you're like, damn, they're really funny, though.

[C]

Welcome the other Kelsey brother.

[B]

Damn, that's funny.

[C]

Do you. Have you noticed that, like, on sitcoms or TV shows, a very, like, common food that people, like, eat in, like, a dinner scene is, like, Chinese food food?

[A]

I have noticed that.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

And do you know there's a reason why they pick Chinese food as a go to, like, prop meal to eat? Is.

[B]

Is it, like, they have it in the boxes or have it.

[A]

It's always Chinese friends.

[C]

They're always eating, like, with the boxes and stuff.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

And with the toothpicks or the chopsticks and stuff. They do that for continuity purposes because you can show that you're eating, but you don't see the food, like, disappearing at all.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

So it's this, like, little trick that. Because if you're eating a hamburger, it just, like, you're going to see. Also, pizza can always be out and, like, people just hold the pizza. That's, like, an easy one that maintains continuity. But the Chinese food, because it's in the box, that's why they do it.

[B]

That's.

[C]

I just learned that. Blew my mind.

[B]

Yeah. And also, you can make that. You can have the tall ones. Because they have tall boxes.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, so you don't see the food inside.

[A]

Another thing about eating is you'll like eating on tv. You'll see people take bites. They'll be, like, chewing, but you'll never see a swallow on camera.

[C]

Oh, right. They got that spit bucket just next to them.

[A]

You'll never see them go, yeah, and finish it. It's because they get, like, the shot of them, like, taking the bite, chewing, and then they spit it out. Because if they have to do the shot 50 times, you're eating so much food on.

[B]

I'm eating all my food. I'm eating the whole thing.

[A]

I wish.

[B]

I don't know why they're not swallowing. Just, baby, enjoy the free food you're given while working. That's amazing.

[C]

What drives me nuts is if someone has, like, a little paper coffee cup, act like there's some coffee in it. There are Gilmore Girls and Laura. Lie is just. Let's go over to the coffee shop. What are we gonna do? Let's go do this.

[B]

Have a little stiffness in your hand, in your arm when you're, like, acting.

[C]

Fill it up with water or something just to make it believable. But I know there ain't nothing.

[B]

And I'm. And trust me, I'm looking in the cup. I'm watching the show. You think I'm paying attention. You know, I'm looking inside the coffee cup. I want to make sure there's coffee in there because I want to see continuity. I want to see.

[A]

I want.

[B]

You're black. I want to see your teeth.

[C]

Coffee teeth.

[A]

Yeah. Imagine if we were just recording and you saw my coffee just going like. Like this.

[B]

We'll do that when we have. When we start with those ad reads. We definitely don't care about continuity, honestly.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Matt, was it you. Was it you that was telling us about. You brought up, I think, a long time ago, but they finally came out with a documentary about it. The poop Cruise. Oh, the poop cruise.

[C]

Carnival poop cruise that happened in, like, 2013. Yeah.

[B]

It like the. They just came out with a documentary like this past week on Netflix.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

It looks really funny. Just the way they, like, made the teaser, the promo, everything for it is just such a joke. And they're leaning into just like the poop cruise of it all. But it's really called.

[A]

Is it called the poop Cruise?

[C]

It's called the what? It's known now because it was a trip that was a total disaster. Well, it was like a cruise going, I think, out of Galveston down to Cosmos, Cozumel. And the. The first leg of the trip down to Cozumel went great. It was four or five days in. It was on the leg back a. The electrical room caught fire.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Which caused everything to truly, like.

[B]

The captain went on the intercom was just like, everyone needs to poop in these red bags. They handed every guest, like, a red bag where they had to poop. And every time they pooped, they had to leave the bag outside. And then after doing that for like a day or two, then the. The hallway started seeping with, like, poop from, like, the sewer because the pipes.

[A]

Imagine you had to leave that house and you just walking in the hallway.

[B]

Everybody was walking and no, you just smelt poop everywhere you walked. There were just.

[C]

No, I'd be getting in that lifeboat. Like, tata.

[A]

See ya.

[B]

Imagine. Imagine the amount of diseases that.

[C]

That was like the new plague.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my. And I. There people were. It was so funny. People were commenting, like, on a tik Tok. That was like, promoting the show that people were saying, like, oh, my God. My landlord actually was on this cruise after, like, stealing all of our deposit. Karma's a like, oh, right. Different people that were on this cruise ship. Yeah.

[C]

Was on the great poop Poop cruise.

[B]

I was telling Todd and Daniel, I'm Like, I. It, like, I would have hated being on that in that situation, but my God, would that be a story that you could just tell anybody in me, you know, the poop groups. Yeah, I was on the poop cruise. And just imagine got it in your bag.

[C]

That's when your fans become handy. Like, you know, the people are just like.

[A]

You get doing like an argument with somebody on the cruise and you're just.

[C]

Oh, catch hit here, catch food. I would just have to take as much Xanax as I could and just be like, nobody move me until we land.

[B]

And Im. Imagine trying to fall asleep like every night smelling poop.

[C]

Oh my God.

[B]

You just like, how could you? You'd have to knock me the out.

[C]

I'd be sleeping on my balcony outside.

[B]

You know, the circle window. Imagine making a bed where your head is sticking.

[C]

It looks like you're in an iron. L just like, get me out of here.

[B]

O my God. Oh my God. Like, can you even. You can't even sue for something like that, right? It's just like, you get your money back. But like, I'd be so upset where I'd want money and more. Like, I do. I'm not walking off of the refund.

[C]

All your clothes just like, done. Oh, that nice little Tommy Bahamas shirt that you got just done.

[A]

How many days was it of this, like on the way back?

[C]

Oh, I bet like two or three. Three more back, like cruise like seven days. Yeah, I think this was on the leg back. So I would say probably three days of it. Maybe I don't know too much about it, but.

[B]

But you know, I can't, I can't.

[A]

Wait to watch the dog to get to the restaurants.

[C]

Say in the beginning of the documentary, people like, all right, is this thing on? You know, the beginning of every true crime doc or whatever. They're like, well, it was 2023.

[B]

No, I'm really excited to watch it. It's. But there was.

[C]

Their eyes are just jaundiced.

[B]

This guy explaining this was so funny. Just listen to this Netflix right this.

[C]

Second and watch Train Wreck Poop Cruise. It's about a cruise where the power goes out when they're in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and for four days they're just drifting. No lights, no flushing toilets. Nothing is working.

[A]

Oh, and it's in the dark, in.

[C]

A moment of panic over the PA.

[B]

Are like, everyone in the red bags provided.

[C]

That's right.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

In these red bags that we have provided for you.

[B]

Piss in the shower and in these.

[C]

Red bags when you don't just leave them out in the hallway. And they did this for four days. The air conditioning went off and this place just got really hot and sauna like, oh. And smelt delicious. So people were just coming out of.

[B]

Their rooms and sleeping in the hallways.

[C]

Until the drains overflowed and the human started seeping into the carpets and dripping from the walls. Go and watch it. It's absolutely hilarious. And my favorite part was when one of the people being interviewed said that the toilets, every single toilet was like lasagna. I'm not going to tell you. Tell you why. Because it is disgusting. Wow. That definitely inspired Triangle of Sadness, that movie where. Oh.

[B]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[C]

Definitely inspired.

[B]

That is so funny. Like one after another. Like the poop and then the AC not going out like that is. It's so perfect where it almost seems like it was done intentionally before this cruise went out. Like they lasagna. They pissed somebody off so bad where they went into the mechanics and they're like, I'm going to make this on the switch. Imagine sleeping in the hallway and then having to be woken up because it is seeping through the rug under you of your only place to sit where it doesn't reek of yuck.

[A]

We're gonna end on that note.

[B]

Yeah, for sure.
