Is the allure of a 2018 Pinot Noir from Gap's Crown Vineyard enough to spark a discussion on the complexities behind sports and academics? Our episode begins with a flavorful examination of wine, setting the stage for a spirited debate on scholarships, particularly the unique opportunities available for female athletes in Division II and III schools. Get ready for a shift in gears as we tackle the NCAA's latest actions against Jim Harbaugh, casting a spotlight on collegiate athletics' ethics and integrity. All of this while providing a quick peek into international politics and the swirling controversies within the United Nations.

What stirs more conversation: a boxing ring or the Olympic arena? Join us as we step into the heated debate over gender identity in sports, prompted by the case of professional boxer Iman Khalif. Her aggressive style raises questions about testosterone levels and fairness, reminiscent of past controversies involving transgender athletes. We delve into the complexities of doping scandals, laying bare the trust issues plaguing international sports, and contemplate the future of Russian athletes on the Olympic stage, questioning the true value of gold medals in this competitive landscape.

On a lighter note, we take a walk down memory lane with the baseball steroid era and the amusing parallels found in celebrity culture. From the high-profile relationship dynamics of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to the whimsical speculation on celebrity genetics, the conversation never loses its playful edge. We wrap up with a nostalgic journey through the James Bond series, from Pierce Brosnan's gadgets to Daniel Craig's raw portrayal, and share a charming anecdote from a Munich brewery. All this and more, with insights on personal growth and the humorous nuances of relationships, awaits in this episode's lively discussion.

Dylan (04:39):
He was talking to kids and doing the whole recruiting
thing.

Okay okay, so this was last year.
He gets he uh gets the contractwith the la rams.
Okay, and he's in the nfl now.
Okay, yes, yep, we're on thesame page.
Um still can't talk to kids.
They sanctioned him for likefour or five years.

(05:10):
His lawyer wrote a responsewhich was the greatest thing in
the world.
If I were in coach harbaughshoes and had an 80 million
dollar contract as a head coachof the chargers, I wouldn't pay
attention to the findings of akangaroo court which claims to
represent the principles of thenation's most flagrant repeated

(05:31):
violator of the federalantitrust laws, that's, directly
at the NCAA.
What's a kangaroo court?
It means it has no weight.

Brad (05:40):
It just bounces around, yeah, I get it.

Dylan (05:43):
It's funny, I know, is that?
Yeah, no weight, it justbounces around yeah I get it.

Brad (05:46):
It's funny, I know, yeah, is that yeah, no, no that's not
what it means.

Dylan (05:47):
No kangaroo court means it's fucking mickey mouse.
What's mickey mouse mean?
Mickey mouse means there's novalidity, it's the ncaa they oh,
kids can't get paid, they can'tdo this, but we're gonna make
billions dollars on the backside.
The ncaa is fucking scam.

Brad (06:02):
Um, pardon my language, hot takes, yeah, I guess if
we're going we're just takingdown, okay, not judgment.
Be curious, I'm trying to becurious.
I was curious about the uh, theunited nations um coalition of

(06:24):
the Willing, some findings thatthere may have been some members
involved in terroristactivities.
Like you, just give somecertain nations the same fucking

(06:48):
validity as all of the othernations you know and just expect
nothing bad to happen.

Dylan (06:56):
It's cool, it's fun, it's fun we're a lot of stone women,
but we're a good country, it'sfine.
It's fine.
There's no genocide here.

Brad (07:03):
Do you want to be on this committee where we like human
rights violations and you canlike make some rules?
Yeah, yeah, good you got a goodbaseline, yeah, so I'll see
what the problem is.

Dylan (07:13):
I mean, you guys only stone women like once a week.

Brad (07:15):
It's not that bad okay, here's, here's what we're gonna
do.
Right, I own a college, I donow on one, and we're going to
come up with some.
Uh, we're gonna come up with acommittee.
Okay, this committee.
I hear all that.
I don't like it.
Quit doing it.
Yeah, do it no.

(07:37):
No, don't do it.
Do it no, stop it, do it.

Dylan (07:42):
You are a smelly pirate hooker.

Brad (07:45):
That's too far, sorry.
We're going to come up with acommittee on fair grading
tactics, okay, but we're goingto invite some people that are
really good at cheating Mm-hmm,they just like cheating.

Dylan (08:05):
Is this the movie 21?

Brad (08:07):
No, oh, okay, no, that was good though.
Yeah, they count cards.
Yeah, the UN.
What if the UN and the NCAA andthe Olympic Committee all got
together?
I feel like they're all fromthe same fucking breed.

Dylan (08:23):
Throw FIFA in there and Jesus Christ.

Brad (08:25):
Yeah, we could have a competition for most corrupt
organization.
Fifa's got to be fucking way upthere.

Dylan (08:39):
I think FIFA takes the cake.
Ioc probably takes the cake.
Yeah but the UN is dealing withnational budgets.
The un has no validity.
There's nothing that happens atthe un that is actually
beneficial yeah, probably notanymore.

Brad (08:57):
It's, it's all just conjecture.

Dylan (09:00):
It's all like oh, I sent my rep there, we're gonna talk,
we're gonna do this thing, butnothing happened.
No, at least the ioc and fifacan actually act on their
corruption, like I give themprops, they do like.
At least they can do shit oh,it's olympic season.

Brad (09:17):
Yeah, let's, let's get into it okay hot takes.
Okay, hot takes, hot takes.
How many times do we have tosay this?
Hot takes.
People are so fucking dumb.

Dylan (09:31):
Hot takes the story that came out about the boxer, the
transgender boxer, the femaleboxer that didn't pass male
tests has an xy chromosome.
Didn't pass the male femaletests.

Brad (09:54):
how so she has a singular xy chromosome or like many xy
chromosomes look it up, okay, so, okay.
So transgender would imply thatshe has changed genders.
That hasn't happened.
So she was born a woman andshe's competed as a woman and

(10:21):
beat up a woman.
Did you see it?
Oh yeah, it was one punch, itwas weak.
I think it was staged.
How are you a professionalboxer and you get hit once like
that?
Look it up, just look up thefirst punch.
It was just one punch.
Did it knock her out?

(10:41):
Nope, didn't even knock herdown, she with it.
And then she was like no, nomore, that was too hard.
Oh what, what are we doing?
I quit.
Yeah, she hits too hard.
I was like have you seen mmafighters?
They get smoked.

(11:03):
Uh, it was very strange I don't.

Dylan (11:07):
I haven't read up too much on it, I don't know it's
okay to say that you don't havean opinion.

Brad (11:12):
Remember, I don't have an opinion I don't know enough
about this I don't know enoughabout this however, a lot of
people on the internet um werenot able to say that, and
immediately boxer.
Boxer Iman Khalif advances toOlympic championships amid John,
amid gender controversy, yeahso there is a sprinter uh,

(11:37):
almost 10 years prior kind of asimilar situation where she
failed a.
She had like two unusually hightestosterone for a woman.

Dylan (11:54):
Also, we're going off of fucking, so this is fucked.
The Women's World BoxingChampionship.
They were disqualified by theRussian-led international boxing
Because we totally trust Russia.

Brad (12:07):
Oh well, do you know why?
Potentially, which is?

Dylan (12:12):
led by umar kremlev, who is a acquaintance of vladimir
putin.

Brad (12:18):
And guess who that girl beat the fuck out of before she
was disqualified?
His niece, uh, russian boxer.
Yeah, yeah, coincidence, Ithink not um, nobody seemed to
mind.
The last time she was boxing inthe olympics, which was the
previous olympics, that wasn'tan issue.
Did we just not care about thatback then?

(12:39):
We didn't care about menbeating up women back then.
In like 2021, still happens.
Do we care about it now?
I, I don't know, we were busy,okay, so so we were busy with
the swimmer.
Who was the swimmer which?

Dylan (12:55):
one, the one that disqualified all the other girls
.
They finally banned her.
Was that an Olympic thing?
It wasn't, because it's been inthe four years since the
previous one, but it was a dealleading up to this.
Okay, so here's.

(13:16):
It was a male collegiateswimmer that had that now became
a female okay, yeah, that's,and then was swimming, totally
different.
Destroying everyone, yeah.
And then they're like thisisn't fair that's not fair.
She's winning everything.

Brad (13:31):
She's yep, this is a great story, yeah yeah, so shades of
gray, everybody wants to hop inand just be like erotic novel.
Oh was it?
I don't know, I didn't read it.

Dylan (13:46):
No did you watch the movie?
No, huh, you're not missingmuch lame.

Brad (13:52):
Yeah, that's what this became immediately, and 50
shades of gray I don't think so,okay.
48 I didn't see that.
I didn't see that clip, ifthat's what it was, but it was
immediately.
Man dressed as woman beats theshit out of woman boxer is how

(14:12):
it was pretty much immediatelytouted, and the part that annoys
me is that not enough people'shead Was there this little bell
that was like, well, it seemskind of weird.
Yeah, it seems kind of strange.
They would let that happen.
I bet there's some otherinformation about this story.

Dylan (14:33):
We say that some other information about this story.
We say that and I will innocentuntil proven guilty is the way
I always follow things.
Have you seen icarus dude?

Brad (14:44):
nobody gave a shit.
The documentary yeah, that wasthe first thing I told shannon.
I was like the russianfederation has been doping for
40 fucking years.

Dylan (14:53):
So my belief system in the IOC is gone, because when
you watch that you're like, ohokay, so the KGB was involved in
a doping scandal and we're notgoing to do anything.

Brad (15:09):
Nope.

Dylan (15:10):
Weird and the FBI is going.
Maybe we'll help protect thisguy, maybe we won't, I don't
know.
But we'd like you to come in,but we can't promise you
sanctuary or protection, but wewant you to tell us everything.
It's like uh, why don't you gofuck yourselves that documentary
?
It gives me no faith in thehuman race.

Brad (15:36):
If you think the Olympics are just like wholehearted good
people working their butts offIs.

Dylan (15:46):
Russia allowed to wave the flag this year in this
Olympics.
I don't know actually, Are theystill Olympic athletes?

Brad (15:55):
I don't know, I'm not sure .
Are they even allowed to?

Dylan (15:56):

Are theylympic athletes?
I don't know, I'm not sure.
Are they even allowed to showup?
Are they even there?
I don't know.
I haven't seen any.
I know I haven't because theywere what the last winter
olympics, they were what aoc, nothey were.

Brad (16:07):
I haven't paid attention because it's just fucking
america's just wiping the floorwith everybody we.

Dylan (16:13):
We're 20 or 30 medals ahead, but we're one gold medal
behind China, if not tied.

Brad (16:20):
I don't know.

Dylan (16:21):
Yeah, it's all about gold medals.
Nobody cares about fuckingtotals, it's gold medals, brad,
it's gold.
It's gold or nothing.
Gold or nothing.

Brad (16:29):
Okay.

Dylan (16:30):
Fair, ricky Bobby.
We're not first or last.

Brad (16:33):
That's yeah.
But yeah, nobody really FairRicky Bobby for not first
realized this, yeah, but yeah,nobody, nobody really.
I would see people post aboutthis and then you can they miss,
construe the story.
Okay, which story are wetalking about?
The, the boxing story?
Okay, so then you go back.

(16:54):
So I have a man beating, so Iwould go back to and she might
have managed hands I will Iwould have to look it up.
But um, this sprinter who wasdisqualified for elevated
testosterone levels?
Okay, not doping, just naturaltestosterone.
Like she, her body producesmore testosterone than the

(17:15):
average woman does and she wasdisqualified for it.
Fair, that's fair, okay justasking.
I'm I'm letting you on the line,so basically, what we're
getting to is like no, we wantto curious.
Yeah, thank you, exactly, ted.

(17:36):
Yeah, I was getting to thepunchline.
Uh, we want to disqualifypeople for having biological
anomalies that make them good atsomething.
The fuck, do you think theolymp?
Yeah, yeah, you take.
I mean, you take this thingwhich is like hey, you got

(17:57):
pretty good genetics.
And then you take all thisfucking hard work, and then you
put them together, and then, andthen, if it's not to die, then
you just fucking dope until tadahappens.

Dylan (18:09):
It's kind of like us getting mad at Dick Van Dyke for
being a really great inventorduring chitty bang bang and
getting the car out of the water.
Never saw that movie whatyou're never seen.

Brad (18:21):
Is that a movie?

Dylan (18:22):
yeah, no, have you seen bed knobs and broomsticks?

Brad (18:25):
no, okay we're gonna move on I saw the dick van dyke show.

Dylan (18:32):
Do we want to talk about the merely to mary tyler moore
show?

Brad (18:35):
no, okay no, so it's.
It just seems odd to me that weget to pick and choose which,
which little things we don'tlike that may give someone an
advantage, like people that wereposting about this that that
you know maybe uh unfavorablethoughts about this person.

(18:57):
They didn't have a problem when, like, mark mcguire was doped
out of his fucking mind justhitting bombs for the cardinals
oh that was fun him and sosawere in the race to 70, 72, I
don't remember the race was for.

Dylan (19:11):
Yeah, needles mcguire had 74, but it was all fake.
Remember when he had to go infront of congress yeah, wait,
was that him?
Mark mcguire went didn't?

Brad (19:21):
jose can take.
Oh, do it too jose it was.

Dylan (19:24):
It was a whole inquisition.
He wore purple.
It was great.
It was like the holy times.
Have you ever seen Casanovawith?

Brad (19:35):
Heath Ledger.

Dylan (19:36):
No, what, no Sounds stupid.
So Heath Ledger is Casanova,okay, and he's going up and down
Venice just defiling women.
But they want it Like it's notlike a creepy way, way, but the

(19:59):
cat.
And he, the catholic church,doesn't like that.
He's this lady's man and he'sdefiling this town and it's like
, oh, there's this hedonismgoing on.
We can't allow this to happen.
So they send in jeremy irons asthe inquisition and he's got
all the flowing purple robes,he's on behalf of the pope and
he finally is like talking to agirl at one point and he's like,
well, you know, if you, if youbecome evidence for us, we can

(20:21):
restore your virginity.
And she's like, wait, whatshe's like?
You can do that.
And he was like we're theCatholic church, we can do
whatever we want.
Ooh, oh, I just reminded me ofthat, sorry.

Brad (20:33):
That's uh that seems suspicious.

Dylan (20:39):
You should watch the movie.
It's hilarious.

Brad (20:43):
I don't know about that.
Let's see yeah.

Dylan (20:47):
It's like putting the genie back in the bottle.
Jlo, I don't think the MarkAnthony hey, ben Affleck.
They're getting divorced JLo,are they?
Yeah?
Why Is this a hot take?
Is it official Hot?

Brad (20:58):
takes.
Oh, is it official?

Dylan (21:03):
Or is it conjecture?

Brad (21:04):
Okay, I heard somebody say this, something about Suge
Knight.
Oh God, not releasing somevideos of J-Lo back in the day?

Dylan (21:14):
or something like that.

Brad (21:15):
I don't know, I'm just saying I've seen yeah it looks
like it's a failed exercise, hey, and I'm not coming to Ben
Affleck's side, you know, by anymeans.

Dylan (21:26):
Okay.
But he did look prettymiserable, yeah, miserable, yeah
, he like.
The best part about ben to meis he is the epitome of what
guys struggle with and I'm likeI'm not taking his side, I'm
like I'm just like you, but thephotos are so epic where you can

(21:49):
absolutely tell he's justscreaming no, you can absolutely
tell they're in the middle of atiff, but he's still.
He's still opening the door forher, he's still shutting the
door for her, like they have allthese scenes where he's still
being a gentleman, but as he'sdoing it, it's just his little
bit of flair of likerebelliousness where, like he

(22:09):
slams the door, he's just like,whatever, it's a and it's it's
the it's almost like you canhear the boston accent when
she's around on the door slam.
He's a little bit more composedand stoic, but the moment, like
they have even when they're nextto each other, but there's a
break in the scene where she'sin a different world because of
the door or whatever like hebreaks finally and he just looks

(22:32):
so frustrated.
Yeah, I'm like kudos to thatguy, though, for just being like
well, this is still mysignificant other.
I'm gonna hold it together.
I'm still gonna be frustratedas shit, whereas some people
would just freak the fuck out.
Yeah, so kudos to ben forkeeping it together.
I'm sure she's not.
This is the problem withcelebrities they're easy to live

(22:56):
with they're both candles.
They have to be the bread'slight in the room.
How do you, how do you managethat?
Like you're a superstar, you'rea superstar.

wrist.

Brad (27:27):

Wait, that's the brand.

Dylan (27:30):
No, no, that's not Louis.

Brad (27:31):
Vuitton?
Oh, that's Omega.
So what's the other brandfamous for?

Dylan (27:37):
Being, clothing and bags Clothing Okay, l-o-e-w-e, daniel
Craig.

Brad (27:44):
No, I've seen enough.
Okay, I don't like it, but he'sreinvented himself, has he?

Dylan (27:49):
Uh-huh.
I mean not that great, becauseI haven't seen it.
You live in Oregon, illinois.
Brad, I don't expect that muchfrom you, you're going to have
to block that out.
Okay.

Brad (28:01):
L-O-E-W-E?
I don't know.

Dylan (28:03):
I don't know how it's spelled.

Brad (28:04):
I don't like it.
I'll stick with Bond.

Dylan (28:08):
How do you feel about the new Bond?
We've talked about this alittle bit.
What new Bond talked about thisa little bit.
What new bond is there?
A new bond?
Have you seen bullet train?
No, you haven't seen bullettrain with brad pitt.
No, it's really good by the way, okay, um, one of the actors in
there is the new bond.
Oh, did I know this?
yeah, lemon, lemon, lemon uh,well, I could see it going that

(28:31):
way I remember when danielDaniel Craig got picked and
everyone was like not happyabout it.
I was.
It was like blonde bond.
It was like what?
I was kind of pumped.
Yeah, but you have vision.
Not a lot of people have vision, and so when you deviate from
what you know, people don't getexcited.
But when you I was.

Brad (28:52):
I was really hoping for a black bond.

Dylan (29:02):
Why don't get?

Brad (29:04):
excited, but when you I was, I was really hoping for a
black bond.
Why exactly any?
Why?
Why were you hoping for?

Dylan (29:08):
a black bond because it sounds good.
Black bond, yeah, okay, itsounds good, but why?

Brad (29:13):
I don't know, because the syllables go nicely together.
Okay, fucking what Nothingthere's two like white bond
sounds dumb, it sounds terrible.

Dylan (29:22):
Actually it doesn't sound dumb, it sounds terrible.

Brad (29:25):
Yeah, I don't like it.
Okay, black bond sounds likesomething you could just spend
the night in.

Dylan (29:31):
This is the interesting part.
I absolutely understand Spendthe night in.

Brad (29:38):
This is the interesting part.
I absolutely understand.

Dylan (29:43):
Also internationally.

Brad (29:49):
Stop it, nanny.
Internationally speaking, itwould probably be worthwhile to
have Bond more like a Jesusfigure White, not the white
Jesus.
Okay, the regular Jesus, sorry,the Jesus of the people.
The Catholic Church would haveyou believe he's a white Italian
.
No, no, like a.
I can't think of it.

(30:09):
I got it in my head, I justcan't think of who.

Dylan (30:14):
I would Like a new Baroque style Jesus, still
Italian, no.
No, middle Eastern Jesus, right, there's so many bad jokes I
want to make, he's not fromItaly.
Don't let the Italian Pope knowthat he's not he's from

(30:36):
Argentina.

Brad (30:37):
It's not fair.
He's a man of the people.

Dylan (30:38):
I don't let the italian pope know that he's not.
He's from argentina.
It's not fair.
He's a man of the people.
I don't know, but he also knewabout sexual harassment how
about killian murphy as the newbond?
They fucked up.

Brad (30:46):
It should have been chilean uh, that would be be not
as exciting.

Dylan (30:55):
I disagree.

Brad (31:02):
I feel like a level of Thomas Shelby brought to Bond
would be good, tom Hardy.

Dylan (31:05):
Tom Hardy, tom Hart.
I would have been okay with TomHardy because Tom maybe like 10
years ago Tom Hardy, he'sgotten a little too old for the
role.

Brad (31:14):
Yeah.

Dylan (31:14):
I.
This is the issue, though.
Speaking of is happened.
Yeah, sean Connery.
I mean you had some amazing.
You had Sean Connery.
You had um Pierce Bronson.
You had some amazing.
You had Sean Connery, you hadPierce Bronson.
You had Roger Moore.

(31:35):
Oh yeah, roger Moore.
You had that other guy.
Ian Lazenby was only one, orGeorge Lazenby only did one.
He was on your Majesty's SecretService, and then who was the
guy that was in the 80s that didtwo?
I don't remember, nobody cares,he wasn't remember.

Brad (31:51):
Nobody cares, he wasn't a very good one.

Dylan (31:54):
No it was terrible.
Like for your eyes only, Was hefor your eyes only?
Like the train scene with thetwins that were throwing daggers
.
I know way too much about JamesBond, by the way they're all
bad.
I don't like it.
Daniel Craig brought a level ofsophistication because what
ended up happening is bondalways had gadgets, but bond was

(32:15):
bond and bond got it donebecause of the raw brute force.
I love, love, love, love PierceBronson.
But towards the end of Pierce'smovie career it got way too
gadgety.
I mean, like the visible carthe world is not enough, um was
getting there.

(32:35):
And then what was the ice age?
One like that was like peak,like yeah, it almost feels like
a uh, jerry bruckheimer or likeyou know what I mean, like it
got way too and the jokes wereterrible.
It got way too punchy and jokeswere terrible.
It got way too punchy.
And then because Pierce, likethe whole history of Bond is

(32:58):
when he, when Pierce, became thenew Bond, it had been years
Like it was, it was a dyingfranchise.
Yeah, it was long time whenPierce took it back over, and
the first one was was itGoldeneye or Tomorrow Never Dies
?
I want to say it was Goldeneover.
And the first one was was itgolden or tomorrow never dies?
I want to say it was golden.
I was the first one.

Brad (33:16):
I was yeah.

Dylan (33:18):
And all of a sudden it was sexy British guy Raw.
He was very brutish in thatlike brute force bond still had
gadgets bringing charisma, allthese things, and it was like it
was there was a sex, all thesethings, and it was like it was
there was a sex appeal, therewas a, there was a thing.
And then, as it went on,they're like, oh, let's lean

(33:39):
into the cinematography and theeffects and the ai, and it was
like, oh god, we ruined it.
And then daniel craig comesalong.
Kind of the same thing, justraw.
They didn't bring the gadgetsinto daniel craig at all, like
there was like the biggestgadget they had was palm print
pistol.
Yeah, your pistol won't firewithout a palm print.

(34:00):
Like that was the extent andthe rest of it was just this guy
being brought back the cars.
It brought back the cars, thewatches, like, but this guy is
just a brute force and he getspissed off and he just starts
breaking things yeah, not the,uh, I mean the, the throwback.

Brad (34:19):
So in, uh like skyfall, the throwback to the car, and so
where the, the main themes ofit, where it's like, yes, he
dresses nice, okay, uh, thewalter, he's got the great car
yeah, okay, and then becausesean connery kind of went down

(34:41):
that road too, where they'relike hey, let's start throwing
in some gadgets, yeah but it itwas a storyline.

Dylan (34:47):
He obviously has demons, but at the end of the day, he's
good and he will do whatever ittakes to get the mission done,
because he wants to be good eventhough he's flawed.
Yeah, it's a good.
It's a good, glow up.
He's reinvented himself.
He's not james bond.
You have to remove the jamesbond from that I don't like it,
okay, uh you're a pussy.
He, you're a pussy.

Brad (35:11):
He looks like.
He looks like Simon Schuster.
He kind of looks like KeithUrban went to shit and started
knitting.

Dylan (35:26):
How dare you speak about a former alcoholic like that
which one, keith Urban, formerFormed Quitter Quitter.

Brad (35:32):
Dare you speak about former alcoholic?

Dylan (35:32):
like that which one, keith arabin former, formed
quitter, sorry nicole, oh, Iforgot to tell you about the
story about munich.
So we're at the pollinerbrewery and we're having dinner
and we're outside beautiful beergarden, like super fun.
I had a couple beers like vicebeers, and um, the guy, the

(35:56):
waiter, comes up and he's like,uh, can I get anything else?
I'm like oh I, I just saw yourseasonal beer list.
I would like one of these andit was a dunkle, I don't.
I don't remember the style ofbeer exactly, but it was like
seven and a half percent Bradbeer, okay, and he was like ah,
sir, hi BB.

(36:17):
Like he was kind of likelooking at me like I was a weak
American and he was just like Ijust I just want to let you know
like it's high.

Brad (36:25):
And I looked at him and I said my pregame is your alcohol
poisoning, so why don't you justgive me this fucking stein, you
know?
So don't go.

Dylan (36:38):
No, I didn't say that you didn't fucking say that.
I said, it's my mama frana yeahI don't know, what that means
yeah, but my baby has a fryer asa fryer, yeah that's what it is
no, but I was actually kind ofinsulted.

Brad (36:49):
I was like hey, motherfucker yeah, I feel like
uh, because the only place youknow that I've been not in
america is colorado, ireland,and I feel like they're the
opposite, they're just like hereyou go yeah there you go take
all these.

Dylan (37:04):
I was like dude, I casually drink vodka for a
living, like, just just get thisbeer is not going to do
anything that's good, it's gonnabe fine.

Brad (37:09):
Yeah, it's gonna be fine I get it.

Dylan (37:11):
You get weird americans in here that have never had it
before and they get all jackedup and a little emotional from
one there's people out there,apparently, is it a boot.
No, it was.

Brad (37:22):
It was like this okay, a little ceramic like a 24 16 16,
like a ceramic Stein, 16s, Isaid 72.
I mean, yeah, do you know whatI have for lunch?

Dylan (37:38):
Bologna and Swiss Six beer Modellas.
What Don't tell Shannon yeah?

Brad (37:48):
I don't know, I don't know what people they see over there
do you ever be like?

Dylan (37:54):
I always feel like like, oh, this is normal, I just grew
up, I'm drinking a couple beers.
And then people around you'relike oh, I don't ever drink that
much.
You're like what is it me?
Is it you who's at fault rightnow?

Brad (38:08):
I don't, I don't know yeah , should I slow down or should
you speed up?

Dylan (38:14):
that's what I'm sure.
That's the dichotomy that wehave to understand.
What is the hot take on the hottake dichotomy?

Brad (38:23):
I don't know.
Here's a question, though okayshould you do dangerous things
on vacation?

Dylan (38:31):
yes yeah are we talking about?
Like so dangerous that you'regoing to orphan your kids there
and then not likely 100, butpossibly yes, okay, all right,
because I got a good.

Brad (38:47):
I got a good plan for next year.

Dylan (38:48):
Then going to do?
Is you're going to make littleBruce Wayne's?

Brad (38:51):
Wait, oh yeah, okay.
Yeah, I like that you eitherhave fun and a really good story
or you make Batman, yeah, yeah.
There's only two scenarios ofthat.

Dylan (39:05):
I mean one of them is definitely going to be an Alfred
and a little weak ass bitch.

Brad (39:08):
I mean yeah.

Dylan (39:09):
Not Michael.
Maybe more like michael cain,more like anna and elsa yeah,
because I'm not getting murderedjeremy irons was a good alfred
but like michael cain was likethe best alfred what what jeremy
irons was for ben affleckdoesn't count.

(39:31):
Didn't see that one I knowmichael cain when he's doing the
whole when he's when he's doingthe whole like africa.

Brad (39:39):
Ruby story that's like one of the best, one of the best
monologues ever.

Dylan (39:44):
Yeah, some people just want to watch the world burn,
master, yeah, yeah, yeah, whynot?

Brad (39:48):
well, it's not a good idea .

Dylan (39:51):
No, no I like it here Burn mastermind, yeah, yeah.

Brad (39:52):
Why not?
Well, it's not a good idea.
Why not?
No, I like it here, do you?

Dylan (39:57):
Yeah, do you.

Brad (39:58):
Come on, lou, we really like this place.
Yeah, you don't know where I'vebeen, lou, I know, okay, I know
.
So, yeah, I got a good onecoming up for next year, do you
actually?

Dylan (40:11):
like this place?
Hmm, do you actually like thisplace?

Brad (40:14):
Yeah, I do.
Why do you complain?

Dylan (40:15):
so much.

Brad (40:17):
Um, what, what Do I?
Yeah, hot take, hot takes.
I complain a lot.

Dylan (40:25):
You have a lot to get off your chest always.

Brad (40:27):
Yeah, always yeah, but I'm also, you're like a great
person, you rack you just got alot to get off your chest, hey
okay, stab that vampire with awood stake.
Okay, kate, uh, yeah, but I'malso very grateful are you?

Dylan (40:45):
you don't sound very grateful most days, really no I
guess I just think it in my headyou're just like well, I
fucking could have had ketamineand surgery but I guess I can
hate everybody out of here.
I'm you know happy to be here.
I only ask because I've noticedthat I've turned into a way
grumpier person in the past fourmonths than I ever thought I'd

(41:06):
ever be, I think it's hard it,it, it's.
It's hard because I I realize itand I see it and I don't like
it, but I don't want to changeit.
I'm a positive person no,you're not.

Brad (41:20):
I'm positive.

Dylan (41:23):
I'm positive that I'm a positive person okay, and I love
the transparency right now,whatever you think about that.

Brad (41:32):
Go fuck off, because this positive person doesn't give a
shit, what you think that soundslike a facebook post.
People are like I'm I'mpositive, I'm positive about me,
and then the next post is justlike fuck everybody, you know,
is that positive?

Dylan (41:49):
I said counterproductive.
Is it kind of like the when heposts the picture of him and the
children and the wife post apicture of her working out and
she's posting inspirationalquotes, Like we know where this
relationship's going?

Brad (42:05):
Somebody's on the hunt, yeah, and.

Dylan (42:09):
I met one of those once.
That was an interesting onlyonce.

Brad (42:13):
Oh god, I feel like they're you know, and they were
fucking good for them.
See, positive, that's me goodfor you, you were the worst.
Positive, you get in shape.
Yeah, you go cheat on yourhusband.
It goes both ways.
It's you know, it's thependulum what do we?

Dylan (42:37):
it's just swinging back.
It's not.

Brad (42:39):
It's not it's just swinging back, it's not gender.

Dylan (42:42):
What do?
What do we call those people,though, that are just that
whimsical and just cheaters,flip it.
It'd be beyond the term cheater, like what would be a better
descriptor, because cheater umcheater has great.
And this makes me sound likeI'm a fucking lawyer right now.
Well, cheating is obviously onething.
It's like yes, very much Boom,boom, boom, Did these things,
but there are these whimsicalpeople.

Brad (43:04):
Oh, are you talking about the people that put the watches
in the baskets?

Dylan (43:06):
It.
It's not even that.
It's just the edgers that arelike, oh, I'm not cheating, I'm
just emotionally cheating, butit's not cheating.
Like just those people that arealways like, oh, I push
boundaries, but it's okaybecause I'm still a faithful
spouse.
Like, well, what kind ofboundaries.
How would you feel about it ifyour significant other was

(43:29):
always constantly just edgingthose boundaries and they knew
they were edging thoseboundaries, but because you
didn't cross those boundaries,it's not a problem?
I'd fucking never let her ridemy jeep again.
Yeah, I don't know.
There's just people you knowthat are always riding
boundaries, like edging thoseboundaries, but they're like, oh
, I didn't cross them, so itdoesn't matter.
And it's like, well, you knewwhat you're doing, you're
getting up to it because it wasgiving you a thrill so, yeah,

(43:51):
that's.

Brad (43:51):
That's what I was just was gonna say was like, are they?
Is it more of a problem of likeattention seeking?
Yeah?

Dylan (43:58):
there are those people in this world.
They're like, they're the whatwe would call a t like old
school terminology.
Be like, oh, you're a tease.
And it's like, oh, I'm not atease, I'm married or I'm gonna
get a fiance, but you want, youwant something, but you want
something, but you're not gonnacross that boundary, but you're
gonna.
You're gonna get every dopaminehit up until that point because
it makes you feel better, andthen you're gonna be like rip

(44:19):
cord.
I feel like uh, even though ifthe person you were with was
doing that, you wouldn't feel.
Okay, this goes for both sexes.

Brad (44:26):
By the way I feel like madman era teasing was like I'm
going to get something.
I'm going to get a better job,I'm going to get this guy to
take me out, I'm going to get anew car, I'm going to get
something out of it.
What's that?

Dylan (44:42):
Nothing Continue.

Brad (44:45):
Nowadays it's more like I'm going to get attention.
It's like that's the ultimatecommodity I miss, the ultimate
commodity I'm going to miss theold days.
Yeah, the old days of misogynyDude.

Dylan (45:05):
It was so easy just to walk into Rookie's and be like
dollar beers, dollar beers.
Okay, I will buy 50 beers forthe bar.

Brad (45:11):
Hi everyone, oh oh, is that that?
It?

Dylan (45:14):
I never fucking, I just waved at everyone and then I
went back to playing the jukeboxgood for you.

Brad (45:21):
How'd that work?

Dylan (45:24):
really well, I was left alone.

Hot takes, it's not a hot takesit's a fact.
She says so you're a therapistyeah, yeah, no, I don't know

(45:45):

How do you feel, I don't know,like alone, like always, uh I'll
end on this because hot takes.

Brad (45:55):
I just had uh therapy a couple days ago.
It was really boring, yeah.
So next time I go we shouldhave some good shit how do you
know the next episode?

Dylan (46:06):

Brad (46:12):
Pendulum.

Dylan (46:13):
Every time, Every time you're like I have two or three
in a row, we're just like wedidn't really have a lot to talk
about.
We couldn't even make itthrough the hour and then the
next one.
