Matt (00:00):
Eric, I want to ask you a question Ask away my beautiful
boy.
Do you consider yourself asociopath?

Eric (00:08):
There are times one wonders Sure absolutely.
But I have been told that ifyou worry that you might be a
sociopath, that's a goodindication that you aren't Sure.

Matt (00:19):
I hear that as well.
I ask because I recently cameacross a question that
supposedly will prove whether ornot you're a sociopath.

Eric (00:31):
Okay, it's not a full test .

Matt (00:32):
It's just one simple question.
So I took this and so I'm goingto go ahead and say it to you
now, okay, and we're going tofind out.
We're going to find outtogether and I'll reveal my
results, don't worry.
Great, but I don't want tocolor your reception, so I'll
tell you at the end.

(00:53):
And I say at the end, becausewhat I'm going to do is I'm
going to tell you a little story, a short story, okay, and at
the end of the story, I'm goingto ask you a question.
Okay, and if at any point,you've heard this before, it's
probably not going to work, sojust tell me and we'll do
something else.
Okay, okay.
So here's the story.
There's this woman let's callher Betty, okay, let's call her

(01:15):
Betty, and Betty, unfortunately,her mother passed away.

Eric (01:20):
Okay.

Matt (01:20):
So she has to have the funeral and she's the oldest
daughter so she, you know shehas.
She ends up planning everythingand sort of arranging
everything.
Yeah, you know her siblingslive out of state so she's the
closest to one, so she's sort ofthe point person for the
funeral and the viewing and allthis stuff.
So they're having the viewingand we'll say closed casket.

(01:44):
Okay, we'll just say closedcasket.
Okay.
Well, let's just say closedcasket.

Eric (01:47):
Just you know it's a closed casket kind of funeral.

Matt (01:49):
Now you've been at a funeral yeah, yes, um and so
when you are a member of thefamily, you're traditionally
like you got to greet people,right, you're up, yeah.
So she's, she's sort of formingthe.
There's this like assembly line, this welcome line, receiving
line that's the phrase I'mlooking for.
And so this man comes in andshe doesn't know this man, but

(02:13):
he clearly knows her motherbecause he showed up at the
funeral and, oh God, he'shandsome.
Oh my God man, he's a tall,dark stranger.
You know what I mean, yeah, andso she's like she's in mourning
, she's having these complicatedfeelings about her mother
passing away.

(02:33):
But here comes this strangerthat she's like whoa, this is a
mode switch, you know what I'msaying.
So she starts talking to thisman and they're exchanging
pleasantries in the receivingline I'm so sorry for your loss,
blah, blah.
But there's other people comingin the receiving line.
So she talks to this man andthere's a spark.
You know, there's some sort ofspark.

(02:53):
But she was like I gotta, Igotta keep this line moving, I
gotta talk to other people.
So the guy goes away.
He is, he's, you know, minglingat the viewing.
He's around, she keeps talkingthe receiving line.
She's talks to the receivingline.
That goes right into the like,eulogies, stuff, like that, the
stuff you say, um, and then sothat's once.

(03:16):
Once the actual like event isover, you know people are
mingling around, people start toleave.
She's like, oh, goodbye,goodbye.
But she's keeping her eye outfor this gentleman, this tall,
dark stranger.
She's looking around the room.
She's like, oh, goodbye,goodbye, but she's keeping her
eye out for this gentleman, thistall, dark, stranger.
She finally has a chance totalk to this guy so she can ask
his name, how he knew her mother, get a phone number, maybe, so

(03:36):
they can actually get to knoweach other.
The man has already left, he'sgone, yeah, and so she was like,
ah, damn, like that, I, I wasinterested in this guy.
There was a little bit of aspark.
I'm I'm disappointed, but he'salready left.
There's nothing she can do.
Okay, a week later, she murdersher sister why?

Eric (03:58):
probably so he would show up to her funeral eric, we're
both sociopaths.

Matt (04:02):
hell yeah, man, that man that's not sociopath.
That's just logic.
That's what I'm saying.
But here's the thing.
I heard this from a stand-upcomedian.
Okay, he was telling this storyand he said if you get it right
instantly, you are a sociopath,and if you have to think about
it, you're not.
And I told the same story toLindsay and my parents told the

(04:23):
same story to lindsey and myparents and all of them were
like I, I don't know what, what,what, what.
And I was like are you?
it's so simple it's right out ofriddles god, anyway, yeah, yes,
hope is that he'll show up, andI got it right instantly.

Eric (04:40):
I didn't even need confirmation yeah, dude, I you
know what this drives me nutsLike.
I hate it when people aremaligned just for thinking
something through logically,like the other day I was putting
some limbs in our freezer, yeah, and fucking.

Matt (04:54):
What are you going to do?
Leave them out.

Eric (04:55):
What are you going to do?
Let it go bad.

Matt (04:59):
Have you not considered the smell?

Eric (05:00):
Yeah, you haven't considered the smell.
You smell, you bitch, I'll killyou.

(05:20):
That's an always sunny line Istole, I'm sorry, always sunny,
I'm sure.

Matt (05:23):
I'm sure you just with that apology when they hear this
you have avoided so muchindemnity.
Well, hello all you sociopathsand welcome to you.
Didn't Ask For this.
It's the podcast answeringlife's least pressing questions.
My name is Matthew Shea.

Eric (05:39):
My name is Eric Poach.
Eric Poach, note the name on mybusiness card.
Oh, all right.
Well, eric poach, how are you?
Oh, I'm wonderful.
Uh, you know, prepping for amove, so that's hell yeah
painting my room, uh, my newroom.
What kind of color are yougoing with for the old room
there?
Oh, I went with a sherwinwilliams risetta green with a

(06:01):
van dyke brown semi-gloss forthe trim and windowsills ask how
ask now?

Matt (06:07):
ask sherwin williams.

Eric (06:08):
That's what I say they have ever talked about how
sherwin williams has the mostnefarious branding on the planet
, like because the sherwinwilliams logo is the planet
earth being covered by paint, byblood red paint, with the with
the words cover the earthunderneath of them.

Matt (06:28):
Yeah, no, they're covering that thing in blood.

Eric (06:30):
Yeah, it is.

Matt (06:32):
I feel like that is like entry level, Honestly it feels
like a question for us, Likewhat are the consequences of
Sherwin-Williams covering theworld in paint?
It ain't good.
I'll tell you what it can't begood for the atmosphere.

Eric (06:46):
No, no, no, no, no, goodness, no no.

Matt (06:48):
Now, Eric, last time out, we spent a long, long, long long
time not answering questions.
Okay, Today I propose we do theopposite.

Eric (07:00):
Okay, we'll try something new.

Matt (07:03):
We'll answer questions we'll try something new and do
the format of the show I mattbrave, thank you eric, you want
to.
You are brave, you're, bold,you're beautiful.
So much just like your van dykegloss on your thank you, would
you like to?

Eric (07:19):
read our first questionnaire.
I would and this question comesfrom becky the sassy seagrass
scientist, um, on instagram.
On instagram, a dear friend ofmine and a dear friend of the,
as we're talking about coveringthe earth in paint.
Uh, becky the sassy seagrassscientist is a dear friend to
this planet she better be withan, with a user handle like that

(07:41):
, oh yeah yeah, yeah, Herquestion is Greetings gents.
I have a question with realapplicability to my life.
How do you plan a trip?
How do you and your loved ones,friends, associates etc.
Decide where you want to go,what you want to spend your
money on, how you want to spendyour time when you're there?
Lots of busy activities justsitting around down, for God's

(08:02):
sakes there.
Lots of busy activities, justsitting down, for God's sakes.
There's so much to do, so muchto see and so little time and
money.
I am fraught with indecision.
Help me please, Becky.
What?

Matt (08:13):
a question, becky, what a question.
Thank you so much forsubmitting it.
I will chastise you forincluding the phrase there's so
much to see, there's so much todo, so much to much to see and
not including so what's wrongwith taking the back streets?

Eric (08:27):
but I digress, I won't beleaguer the point, but it
should have been there, um, andI respect yourself so I, I I
have thoughts around trips and,like I am, I imagine you and I
are very different on how weapproach trips, eric Eric.

Matt (08:49):
I think that's a safe bet.
I think I have not vacationedtogether.
No, we have been on a tripbefore.
Yeah, we have been on a trip.
It was a summer collegeactivity where we traveled to
Clemson University For two weeksFor two weeks, and we did drive

(09:11):
there together or drove backtogether.

Eric (09:14):
And I think that was the only time where we co-lived
together for those two weeksWell co-lived.

Matt (09:20):
There were other people involved, but it was like we
were staying in the on-campusapartment so there was like four
bedrooms, yeah.
But yeah, those two weeks arethe only times we lived together
, and then I stayed at yourparents' house on the way home.

Eric (09:33):
You did, yeah, you crashed it at Rick and Fran's place.

Matt (09:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah Hell yeah , she was a delight your father
was a delight.

Eric (09:43):
Yeah, Franny Mae is a saint.
You were fine oh thank you,solid five out of seven.
So, matt, let's play a littlegame, all right, because it
feels like we both haveassumptions about how the other
person does trips.

Matt (09:56):
So what we'll do.

Eric (09:57):
We'll go back and forth.
I'll name an assumption aboutyou when it comes to your
vacationing habits, and you cando the same for me, and we'll
see.
We'll see how close we get.

Matt (10:05):
That sounds good.
I'll say I don't know that Ihave so much have assumptions
about like what you do, causeyour behavior is often
unpredictable to me.
Yes, but I I assume that it'svery different than like my trip
.
But okay, that my approach isdifferent.
I, I, yes, I assume yourapproach is different.
What your approach is?

(10:26):
God?
God only knows God.
So yeah, hit me, it's a goodidea, let's do it.
Let's, let's break thisfriendship up.

Eric (10:34):
I assume that you overpack .

Matt (10:39):
Well, I guess it depends on your definition of
overpacking, but I wouldn'tthink so.
My mom does.
I'll tell you that right nowshe brings like a whole suitcase
of shoes because you got tohave options.

Eric (10:51):
Here's my here.
You got to have options.
Here's my assumption.
Here's my assumption vis-a-visoverpacking, if I could clarify.
Okay, good, say you're on afive day trip.

Matt (11:07):
You probably pack, I would say, say, between eight and ten
days worth of socks.
No, no, really I do.
Yeah, this is, this is an oldcamping habit of mine.
I pack what I need and I try, Itry to plan through.
Each day when I'm packing thesuitcase, I try to be like oh,
I'll wear this monday, I'll wearthis tuesday.

Eric (11:17):
When that was my other assumption that you, you, do,
you have your outfits down tothe day.

Matt (11:23):
Well, I plan it out per day, so I know I have enough.
Like if I know we're going, oh,it depends on the trip too.
Like if it's a wedding trip, Igot to make sure I got
everything for the wedding.
This is what I'll wear to thereception on Friday or whatever.
You know the welcome party, youknow that kind of stuff.
Like, in a couple of weeks I'llbe going to the beach with my

(11:43):
parents, as I have done forseveral years now with Lindsay,
and what I'll do is be like cool, make sure I have an outfit for
each day.
Will I stick to that schedule?
Probably not, but I know I'vegot enough outfits.
You have your baseline, I havemy baseline.
And then and this is an oldcamping thing that I've never
gotten away from I always packminimum one extra underwear, at

(12:10):
least two extra socks and anextra t-shirt, just like.
So there's a if somethinghappens.

Eric (12:17):
In your carry-on probably.

Matt (12:18):
Well, yeah, if I'm flying, all those items go in the
carry-on.

Eric (12:21):
I do the same thing.

Matt (12:22):
Along with my PJs.
Ah, yes, yes, yes, the PJs arealways at the bottom of my
carry-on.
I do the same thing Along withmy PJs.
Ah, yes, yes, yes, the PJs arealways at the bottom of my
carry-on backpack always.
Yep, because if my luggage getslost, I at least have change of
underwear, change of socks,change of shirt, pjs.
So in that case we're aligned.
I was thinking for some reasonI assumed we were talking about
like road trip Gotcha, gotcha,gotcha.

(12:54):
So I do not pack like eightdays worth for five days.
I will simply pack, uh, the,the extra underwear and socks,
for, oh, I stepped in mud or oh,I fell straight on my ass.
You know, my feet got wet and Imust scream, and I, my feet are
wet and I now need new socks,you know, like, like, that kind
of thing.

Eric (13:04):
Okay, what's an assumption ?

Matt (13:06):
about me.
My assumption about you, eric,is that if you were talking
about a five-day trip, I feellike maximum you've got five
outfits.
Maximum, but probably not,probably you have three 100%
correct.

Eric (13:27):
I will, I will pair, I will pack one pair of pants, one
pair of shorts.
Oh well, I do that.

Matt (13:33):
I traditionally make sure I have like, like, especially if
it's like jeans weather.
Oh, there's just the jeans,there's just the jeans and the
rotating tops.

Eric (13:42):
What my brain does is that I don't waste outfit slots on
the travel days.
So what that means is, whateverI'm wearing the day before we
leave is probably what I'll bewearing the day we leave.
I'm not putting a good outfitthrough a fucking travel day.

Matt (14:01):
No, I'm in the same, my green hoodie that you know very
well, that anyone who'sencountered me probably knows.
My like green Under Armourhoodie is my traditional top
layer for travel.
Some t-shirt underneath somejeans.
That is my go-to standardalmost every trip.
I travel in it because if I'mhot, I can take it off.

(14:24):
If I'm cold, I got a sweatshirt, so I always travel in it
because, you know, if I'm hot Ican take it off.
If I'm cold, I got a sweatshirt, you know.
So I I always travel in likethe same outfit or outfit
adjacent, like, let's say, we'redoing this trip with my parents
, right, and we're gonna endbefore we go our separate ways.
We're going to a winery, youknow how we do, got to um.
So if we're going to a wineryor something I might choose,

(14:45):
like a slightly nicer sweatshirtor something else that's still
in the family of I know I'm thengetting in a car and driving
and I want to be comfy, cozywhen I do something.
Got to be so yeah.
Okay, well, so far ourassumptions are correct.

Eric (15:02):
Okay, okay.

Matt (15:04):
And this is an interesting baseline for us.
Is it helping us answer thequestion at all?

Eric (15:09):
No, and this is where we can continue making assumptions
as we answer this question.
We just pop them in, but forplanning a trip.

Matt (15:19):
Let me reel you in, but you continue your process.
Let me point you and send youoff like an RC car.

Eric (15:27):
Yes, how do?

Matt (15:29):
you, eric, plan a trip.
Becky mentions that you'regoing with loved ones or friends
or something like that, and Ido think those are different
trips, by the way, becky, like afriend's vacation versus a
vacation with your family verydifferent well, funny enough
when, when I went to icelandlast year, it was a sort of

(15:50):
hybrid, because, while I guessthat happens I I we were
traveling with alissa's familyyeah, so it was um alissa's dad
and stepmom, uh, like three ofalissa's siblings, sure, and and
partners and such so while,like, we were traveling as like
a unit siblings and I know whatyou meant.

(16:10):
You meant her siblings partners,but it did sound like all of
alissa's partners.

Eric (16:16):
We brought our we brought our our polyamorous harem with
us.

Matt (16:19):
Yes, we had to bring the whole harem with us.

Eric (16:22):
Um, but it was cool because, yeah, we did have the
considerations of and this is myfirst recommendation If you're
traveling with like this sort ofhybrid thing where it's like
family unit where we were allstaying in the same hotel but
each day we would kind of planwe would all have breakfast
together and there would be likesome planned activities

(16:44):
throughout the day.
But we were in two separaterental cars.
It was like parents in one carand a sibling and their partner
in one car, and then the othercar our car aka the fun
motherfucking car was wasAlyssa's brother's sister.

Matt (17:01):
So what car was it I just want?
I want the picture brother'ssister.

Eric (17:06):
So what car was it?
I just want, I want the pictureit was, I think it.
I think it was like uh, like itwas in the same neighborhood as
like a santa fe, or like uh,like, uh, like, uh standard like
gotcha, yeah, yeah suv.
Yeah, um, that is.
My one recommendation is is uh,don't try to share one car
among, like a group that that,that that is two cars worth of
people.

(17:26):
That will be a nightmare.
Someone will end up being thedesignated chauffeur, and they
will.
They will be bitter about it.
Uh, always give yourselves theoption to travel separately and
do your own thing.

Matt (17:37):
I agree, I would agree with that.

Eric (17:40):
Uh and and and.
To that point, matt, here's anassumption about you and I feel
like this this might be a safeassumption I don't think you
have an itinerary down to theminute, but I think you, you
know what your activities aregoing to include each day and
you have, like you, you, youkeep track of, like, all right,
monday, we got this appointmenthere, which means we're going to

(18:02):
be in this area then and we'regoing to do that, like you, and
we're going to like do that.
Like you, you have a schedule.

Matt (18:08):
Depends on the trip.
Depends on the trip.
Depends on the trip is what Iwould say to that, this like
annual beach trip that I amtalking about, not hard and fast
, cause the main activity everyday is what going to the beach.
So, like there are restaurantsI know like I'd want to hit, or

(18:29):
new ones I want to try, but likethe ones my, you know, my
parents and Lindsay and I likelove, oh, we got to make sure we
go there one night, you know,like.
So, like we have those types ofplans I'd say but, but if I were
going, like two ago when wewent to Banff with good friends
of the pod Sarah and Carissa forLindsay's conference, but then

(18:50):
we went up ahead of time to likeenjoy the place before her work
began.
Yeah, we sort of planned outlike this is more than likely
the only time we're going to bethere.
So there was, you know, someresearch in advance of like, oh
you, you want to go to this park, you want to get there before x
time when it gets crazy.
You know that kind of thing.
So, yeah, I planned that out.

(19:11):
Um, I would just say thatthat's how trips work.
So I'd be a little surprisedbut I guess not surprised at the
same time if you're like, oh,I'm going to disneyland and
we'll just see what fuckinghappens, like that's that that
level of trip to me, with noplanning insanity, me yeah,

(19:36):
you're so.

Eric (19:37):
So where I sit in my planning process and and for the
question, I'm gonna assume,like I'm actually gonna assume,
outside of the, we're going onlike a beach trip or something
where it's like regularlyassumed like beach is going to
be the main.
Yeah, exactly I'm assuming,let's assume a trip where we are
going with friends, family,colleagues, what, what, and

(19:58):
you're visiting a location forthe very first time, so, like
your Iceland trip is a good time.
Yeah, very first time, and it'sa different and it's a different
vibe, it's a different culture,exactly.

Matt (20:07):
Yeah, ok, yeah, that's good.
You know what let's?
Let's go with that trip,because otherwise we'll be here
all day.

Eric (20:13):
So what I do in my planning is I will have major
beats that I want to hit.

Matt (20:20):
Exactly.

Eric (20:25):
Like, like there was a and this was discussed among the
whole group.
It's not like I was generatingthese, these, these itinerary
items, but like we know wewanted to hit.
There's this, this nationalpark where, like these, tectonic
plates met and it's beautiful.
We know we wanted to go there.
We know there's a famous spathere in iceland that we wanted
to visit the geothermal spa.

Matt (20:42):
Oh, I'd love to now that I'm a spa man yeah, oh yeah, bro
, you it's, it's dope.

Eric (20:48):
So there are those major beats, but I, honest to god,
like when I'm personallyplanning a trip, there's I have
the list of things I know I wantto do.
I don't slot them into days oranything.
I do to an extent because thisis a listen I, when we're
traveling, uh, we, honest to god, and we are so in the drift on

(21:10):
this, it works very well for us.
We plan a lot of our time to belike blank days where there's
nothing on the schedule and welegitimately just kind of wing
like we pick.
We have designated days forgoing out among the populace and
just winging it like we'regonna go, we're gonna park
ourselves somewhere in themiddle of this fucking this city

(21:31):
, this, this, this place, this,this county country, what have
you, and we're just gonna wanderaround and see what happens I'm
with you on that to a certainextent.

Matt (21:43):
If there's not a whole day that I set aside for like and
this will be our free day, thenI should.
In my view, if it can beavoided, I like to keep one
thing to each day.

Eric (21:59):
Like an anchor thing.

Matt (22:00):
Yeah, so, like, I will plan things to the extent of
like, oh, maybe on Monday we goto this museum and then, and
then that's the plan Right, sowe can figure out, oh, the
morning, the afternoon, whateverthe, and then, if it rains, oh,
maybe that has to become thefree day, because the free day

(22:21):
just became today, you knowbecause now it's all rainy, you
know so.
So yeah, I like a day offlexibility, but I don't like to
.
So I would say I plan, or thepeople I'm with plan a little
bit day to day of like Mondaywe'll do this, tuesday we'll do
this.
But I like to leave enoughflexibility that I don't

(22:44):
necessarily feel anxiety overwhat else are we going to do
that day, or things like that.
But at the same time I getanxiety.
During a vacation, if there'stoo much, just like sitting
around time in like a new space,I'll start to feel like

(23:06):
shouldn't we be doing something?
Like shouldn't we be seeing aboot?

Eric (23:09):
yeah, out in a boot, like that.
That's why I'm like my defaultis like if I feel restless, I'm
like I'm just gonna.
This is one of my biggest tipsfor you.
Also, if you're traveling withany size group and this is
something you kind of want toyou want to feel out and
establish before, like beforeyou you get there you will have

(23:30):
such a better time if youdisabuse yourself of the notion
that the entire group has to betogether for everything 100 of
the time.
Give yourself permission to goout and do your own thing and
this is especially true.
You will have such a bettertime.

Matt (23:46):
This is especially true, I would say, on longer trips,
because if you're taking like atwo-week blowout bash to like
Hawaii or something like withyour family or whatever.
You can't assume that you aregoing to want to all do the same
stuff.
Slash, be around each other.

(24:07):
No straight weeks Like you gotto have some time to be like go
off and do your own fuckingthing.

Eric (24:14):
Especially because, like for me, for me, my ADHD brain,
my the amount of time it takesme, like to use to use a phrase,
like, when I go to a museumwith a group of people, it can
be stressful for me becausewe're slowly moving from
installation to installation,right, and everyone has the

(24:36):
amount of time that they need toexperience an installation, see
it, appreciate it and be readyto move on.
That amount of time for me issignificantly shorter than most
people I do museums with, like I, I, I am.
I always find myself like I'mone of the first people I'm like
, all right, ready to call itlike, and and that's where it it

(25:00):
became easier for me to justsay like hey, I'm gonna go
wander over here, cause I'mliterally chewing the inside of
my cheek off waiting for the,the group to decide that, like,
we're ready to move on.

Matt (25:11):
Yeah, that scans.
Uh, I've seen this, thisbehavior in you at certain times
firsthand.
You know you start looking atyour phone is a big thing for
you.
You start like walking around,you start pacing back and forth
yep, um, so I, I, I can, I canpicture you in a museum and know
what you're talking about.
Yep, um, but yeah, because,like I, I mean, I don't know, it

(25:36):
depends for me.
Like an art museum, yeah, Ilike to, I like to sit with the.
These are especially art, thatat first blush, I, I'm like they
put this shit in a museum.
You know, like you gottameditate on it Exactly.
I like to sit and be like, okay, what am I not seeing?
You know, as an artist, likewhat am I overlooking, what am I

(25:57):
not considering?
And then like move on fromthere and whereas you I feel
like in that same situation arelike you look at it and you're
walking away yeah, I, I and thisisn't to like suggest that I
have like, I'm not trying to belike oh, I'm so fucking
brilliant, smart that I just get.
No, it's just like no it's, it'sthe opposite.
You don't care about art andyou don't wish to learn god

(26:20):
matthew um, so, so, so, sothat's that's.

Eric (26:24):
That's big piece of advice .
Number one a uh one.
I agree with you on this.
Everyone does not have to dothe same thing together as a
group, like it makes nodifferent, like like, chase your
bliss, you're on limited time,and that's another thing.
In in.
And, weirdly enough, my nextpiece of advice is going to kind
of swing in the oppositedirection when it comes to

(26:46):
things you're going to do andsee, because, becky, I agree,
there's so much.

Matt (26:52):
I was just going to circle back to that point as well, so
go Except from the outset.

Eric (26:57):
You will never see everything.

Matt (26:59):
Correct.
That's exactly what I was goingto say.

Eric (27:01):
There's going to be stuff that you will regret not having
seen, and that's okay, once youaccept that it gives you the
space to actually enjoy the shityou are seeing, and what I
would say is give yourself timeto actually enjoy it.
Quantity is not a quality.

Matt (27:18):
On a trip, it doesn't matter if you saw like 20
different things in one day, ifyou only spent like 30 minutes
at each thing and didn'tactually get to enjoy it and
this is where I feel like youand I might have a difference,
okay, in approach, because I Icompletely agree with you, but
because I'm aware of that in thelead up, I feel it's very
important you to like do theproper research.

(27:41):
Like, let's say, you're goingto I don't know why this is
jumping in mind, but like goingto, like Egypt and seeing the
pyramids.
Like the pyramids, as we knowfrom when we did Google gripes,
are historically surrounded byscammers and swindlers who are
trying to get you to takepictures with them and charge
you lots of money, and so so,like, spend the time realizing

(28:03):
that oh, it, it, it takes howlong to get into the Pyramid of
Giza, like all these differentthings.
So you know, oh, okay, it'sreally like.
Okay, lindsay and I, a whileago I mentioned this like two
episodes ago, I think when wewent to the Grand Canyon we went
to Vegas and we took two daysto drive to the Grand Canyon and

(28:24):
back.
And we did it that way becauseour research showed if you're
going to the Grand Canyon, getthere first fucking thing, in
the morning, as soon as thosegates open, you want to be there
, because by noon the place isgoing to be inundated with
people.
Tourists, exactly so.
Tourists, exactly so.
As a result, we left Vegas theday before, visited the Hoover

(28:46):
Dam on the way over, drove to acheap ass motel outside Grand
Canyon, got there as soon as itopened, saw what we wanted to
see, saw everything around,drove back to Vegas and like,
that is the level of planningthat I think is necessary.
You want to do research and youwant you.
Everyone knows I like a ranking.
Everyone knows I like isnecessary.
You want to do research and youwant everyone knows I like a
ranking.
Everyone knows I like a ranking.

(29:07):
But here's where it's actuallyimportant, because you want okay
, there's a million things youwant to do on your trip to
Million million To Nashville,right, so, like, go through how
many days you're going to bethere.
Think about, okay, that's onemajor event a day.
Maybe.
Start ranking the like.
I'm going to be upset if Ileave Nashville without seeing

(29:31):
these five things.
That's what I would say Yep, soprioritize it.
So, like, you have your musthits along the way.
And then the next tier down isoh, I hope I get to this.
Yes, I hope I get to thisrestaurant.

Eric (29:47):
I hope I get to try this.
I hope we have time.
If we find ourselves some freetime, ooh, find ourselves some
free time.

Matt (29:53):
Ooh, I agree, because one of Becky's questions and
concerns here is lots of busyactivities or just sitting down.
For God's sakes, I think you'vegot to prioritize both those
things sitting down.

Eric (30:05):
For god's sakes.
I think you got to prioritizeboth those things.
You do have to prioritizebecause, like it's one thing to
look at the chunks of hours inyour day and fear and theory
craft like, okay, I can feasiblydo these things, but you also
you got to bake in two things.
One you're gonna need downtimeyou're gonna need.
I thrive on a trip, when I haveenough time to take a quick nap

(30:25):
or something in the middle ofthe day, recharge my fucking
batteries, otherwise I startcrashing out and that's
important to you.

Matt (30:33):
That would drive me fucking nuts because I'm not a
good napper but because we'regood travel mates, we we give
each other permission.

Eric (30:41):
I'm like, yeah, matt, I'm gonna nap, and you're like I'm
gonna go check out this thing.
I really want to go.

Matt (30:44):
And I'm like, yeah, matt, I'm going to nap, and you're
like I'm going to go check outthis thing I really want to go
and I'm like, good, I supportthis or great, I'm going to sit
down with a cocktail on my book.

Eric (30:52):
You're going to do your relaxing thing, I'm going to do
my relaxing thing and we don'teven have to do them in the same
place.

Matt (30:58):
We don't have to, then we'll go to the restaurant we're
going to for dinner, and that'show I often operate with these
trips.
There's the main event of theday, there's dinner at this
place, and then there's this gapin between those things where
you can just kind of chill out,because it is still supposed to

(31:18):
be relaxing.

Eric (31:20):
Yeah, I would also say, in this budgeting of time, giving
yourself downtime is important.
Also, when you're going toplaces, when you know you're
going to be like visitingsomething and there's going to
be travel, give yourself moretime than you think you need.
Give yourself time to go offthe beaten path and chase after

(31:40):
fun, dumb shit.
And let me let me explain.
We're currently planning a triptrip.
We're doing a road trip in anrv to tennessee in july.
For the fourth of july.
We're going to the caverns.
Um, it's a, it's a giant venuein tennessee.
It's literally bands play in abig fuck off huge cavern and a
bunch of bands we love are goingto play there.

(32:00):
They're gonna play in a cavernyeah it, yeah.
It's really cool, like theacoustics are insane.

Matt (32:05):
I was going to say it sounds like the acoustics would
be awful.

Eric (32:08):
Yeah, apparently they work very well.

Matt (32:09):
And it makes it it's like a.

Eric (32:11):
It's like an amphitheater that leads down to a giant
cavern.
Oh, okay, um, so we, we,obviously we.
We're gonna go see the caverns.
We're gonna go see dollywood uh, that's gonna be fun, um, but
we're.
What we're really excited aboutis that we've budgeted time on
the road trip.
We math it out so that if wesee like crazy roadside

(32:33):
attractions or like wild dumbshit, we can just go chase after
that.
Give yourself time that thatbecause I can get stressed when
I know exactly what my trip isgoing to look like before I've
even experienced it.
Like, oh OK, I'm going to behere this day, I'm going to be
here this day, I'm going to bedoing like this.
I like to have some time tofollow my curiosity and to like

(32:54):
chase after fun dumb shit, likeit can be a lot of fun.

Matt (32:58):
And I think, I think what we're learning here is the big
tip is like plan that sucker outso to your needs.
Because one thing that, like Ithink, we have both overlooked
and we should have said it rightat the top is everything we're
talking about is coming from theperspective of, and probably

(33:19):
for single non-children owningadults.
Yes, because this arithmeticchanges so much if there are
children in the equation.
The parents listening to thisare probably like, wow, these
two.

Eric (33:34):
Must be nice.

Matt (33:35):
Must be nice in this kid-free life, because I'd say,
although I don't have kids, Iwould say, if you're planning a
trip, you're planning a trip forthe kids.
Yeah you just happen to be there.
You are a chaperone and I don'tthink that I still think
they're.
Plan some time for yourself,but keep in mind that self-time

(33:57):
is probably oh, I'll bring thisbook for the hours of 9 to
midnight, when my kids arefinally fucking asleep, yeah,
like, because that's what.
That's what it's going to looklike, but also like plan things
that you want your kids toexperience, but you want to
experience with them.
I say from my place ofprivilege, of not being a parent

(34:17):
.
So you know, I just wanted toflag that asterisk before we
move on to our next questionhere, because, becky, I think
we've given you some stuff here.

Eric (34:26):
If I could give one more piece of parting advice.

Matt (34:29):
I have to say Eric we approach this question
especially you, eric, like youwould like as if we would be
adversaries.
No, no, no, no.
Well, kind of, but no, no, no.
What I was going to say is,like you, your whole approach
here you drop the fact that thisis a comedy show, like not not
in a bad way.
I'm saying you were like I'vebeen waiting to give this

(34:52):
presentation.

Eric (34:53):
Here's my, here's my brass tack soapbox.

Matt (34:56):
Yeah, so, so yeah, I'm, I'm.
I want to know how you close it.
Close this TED, talk out Eric.

Eric (35:02):
My one last piece of parting advice.
Yeah, let's hear it.
And this is in terms of how youfigure out.
This is an approach to bothwhat there is to do Most people,
I imagine when they're going toa place.
You're looking at travel guides,you're Googling.
There's the famous stuff, youwant to see the famous stuff,

(35:24):
there's the famous stuff, andthen there's the cool stuff.
You want to see the famousstuff, there's the famous stuff,
and then there's the cool stuff.
Sure, yeah, if you want to findcool stuff, you have to talk to
the right people.
So when you get to where you'regoing and let's assume, for the
sake of this argument, that itmight be like a popular tourist
destination You're going to findbars.
If the bar is mostly full oftourists or fellow travelers,

(35:47):
you're in the wrong bar.
That's when you go up to thebartender and you ask them where
they go to drink.
When they get off shift,they're going to tell you where
they go to drink and then you'regoing to go to that bar because
that's where the locals drink.
That's when you're going to goup, order your drinks.
This is where you're going toput on your charm.

(36:07):
You're going to talk to peoplebecause that's where you find
out from the locals.
And, honest to God, I found themost success with just being
perfectly blunt and being likehey, I'm not from here, I don't
want to go check out the touristshit.
What's cool to do around here.
The bartenders at the localbars and the patrons there will
give you solid, fucking goldadvice.

(36:29):
That's how we learned.
For example, we went to Iceland.
We checked out their famous iscalled Blue Lagoon Spa.
It's the famous like geothermicspa.
It was really cool, reallyreally fucking awesome.
But we later found out eitherfrom a bartender or from a local
or someone just like talk tothe locals and ask like, hey,
what is actually cool to doaround?
They let us know oh hey,there's a whole ass other

(36:50):
geothermic spa that's like athird of the price, way fucking
better and it's just lovely.
Go check this one out.
And we went to that one and hadway better of a time and it was
fucking dope.
Talk to people.
People only mind, seem to mindtourists.
When tourists approach themwith loud, obnoxious like oh,

(37:12):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm soexcited to check out the fucking
famous thing sure just levelwith them, be like hey, I'm not
from around here, what's cool tocheck out?
I want to see.
I want to see like what, whatyou get excited about, and
that's how we find that's how we, yeah, and I think that's stuff
you find that's how we yeah andI think that's stuff you can do
ahead of time too.

Matt (37:30):
It's called reddit.
Like it's called reddit, jumpon reddit and, of course, if you
know someone there, ask thequestion.
Yeah is what I'd say.
Yeah, and the uh.
So yeah, I think I agree withyou there.
I think I'd put that into myresearch and similarly, I did
something like that in vegas.
We ended up going to this uhrestaurant, um, down the street

(37:53):
from us.
That was off the strip, and itbecame clear to us immediately
oh, this is the type of placethe locals go, and they don't go
anywhere near the fucking strip.
You know, like, and it and itwas chill, it was cheap and it
was great.
We ended up going there twice,uh, so, like, you gotta be on
the lookout for that kind ofshit too, yeah, so yeah, I,

(38:16):
becky.
I hope we've answered thequestion.
I feel like we've provided verymature, mature advice.
Mature advice for the traveleramong you yes, um, yeah, two
good advice for the traveleramong you yes, yeah, keep your
heart open for adventure, butalso-.

Eric (38:30):
Follow your curiosity.

Matt (38:31):
Follow your curiosity, but also make sure you plan so you
don't leave disappointed by notseeing certain things that you
got your heart set on.

Eric (38:42):
That's what it's yeah, dog .

Matt (38:43):
Speaking of dogs.
Speaking of dogs, I think it'stime to move on to our next
question.
He's got that dog in him.
What dog, what breed?
And what do you got that dog inhim?
What do you got that dog in him?
And this comes from just me,this just comes from my brain,
this is your 2am thoughts.

Eric (39:03):
This is just a thought I had.
So, eric, you got that dog inyou.
I do got that dog in you, I dogot that dog in me.
Uh, woof, woof, tell me aboutthat dog there.
There's two kind of, there'stwo kind, there's the pop if you
say anything about two wolvesbeing inside you.
That is not the conversationwe're having no, that that is an
entirely separate conversation.

Matt (39:24):
No I don't want to hear about wolves, but when he got
that dog, when he got that dogin him.

Eric (39:30):
So so, when, when you hear this phrase in and in the, in
the, the lexicon, in the, in the, in the common vernacular, it
usually means to express like,like, oh man, like someone's on
top of their fucking game,someone's's like approaching a
problem, a contest, somethinglike they are going for the

(39:51):
fucking.
They're going metaphoricallyfor the fucking throat.
So when I imagine that, whenhe's got that dog in him, I
don't even, I don't even see, Isee aspects of so many different
kinds of dogs.
First of all, the dog in me isa fucking mutt.

Matt (40:08):
First of all, I think you're on to it.
We should have started with anice definition.
Here's what Urban Dictionary'sgot, for he got that dog oh hit
me up, an expressive saying todescribe one with overwhelming
confidence that does not havethe ability to take an L Example

(40:28):
.
Joey, damn, you see Masonbagging that bitch over there.
Zach, yeah, bruh, he got thatdog.
There's Urban Dictionary.
I knew that was toostraightforward and that dog,
that dog is a mutt.

Eric (40:46):
That dog, that dog.
First of all it's jowly.
It's got the under teeth.
It's like the dog you see inall the Looney Tunes.
It's got them tusk teeth thatcome out from the bottom lip.
It's got the jowls.
His haunches are so muscly thathis legs are doing that thing.
Where he's like pigeon-toed,his little feet are bent in.

Matt (41:08):
Because his shoulders.

Eric (41:10):
He doesn't so much walk as he waddles.

Matt (41:13):
Yeah, because his shoulders need to be turned out
to support his muscular body.
Oh my God, Because here'sanother definition on Urban
Dictionary.
This one comes from Gigi, yourbeloved, not literally meaning
such this saying.
This saying instead suggeststhat the person saying it has

(41:33):
the qualities of a dog loyalty,protectiveness, strength, etc.
Person one how'd you lift thatboulder?
Person two I got that dog in me.
I I agree that that is anapplicable sentence to throw
down.
I got that dog in me, but I Ithink it's more the strength or
it's more the like, uh,energetic qualities of a dog

(41:56):
than it is the loyalty andthings like that it is a
testament to will.

Eric (42:01):
It is like a testament here's a question from reddit.

Matt (42:04):
Okay, serious question.
What the fuck does he got thatdog in him?
Mean Top voted result is youdon't got that dog in you, so I
hope that clears up thedirection we're going.
In everybody it is also.

Eric (42:21):
I think it's also important to clarify that
someone can have that dog inthem, yeah, but the dog isn't
always home.
I feel like it is.
It is not like a like whensomeone's like, oh, he's got
that dog and they're not likethat, 100 of the time they have
to summon up the dog, the dog isvisiting.
The dog is visiting.
The dog is metaphorically.

(42:41):
The dog house is my body andthe dog is in there.
He's like ready to be on leash.
Yeah, the dog's ready to go?

Matt (42:49):
yeah, but he ain't always gonna be in his house he gonna
be out.

Eric (42:53):
No, sometimes, sometimes you get caught without that dog
in you.
So, and god help you, god helpyou.
Sometimes the dog is laying ontop of the house like snoopy
taking a nap.
Yes, you gotta.
You gotta figure some shit out.
You gotta get the dog back home.

Matt (43:06):
You gotta wake.
You gotta get the dog back home.
You got to wake up.
You got to set the dog onascent.

Eric (43:10):
In that case, Matt, when you got that dog in you.
What does that dog look like?
What'd that dog do?

Matt (43:16):
What'd that dog do, I think, bark?
For me it was more of a howl.

Eric (43:23):
That was more of a howl, but that's because I was
thinking husky I was thinking mydog might be a husky.

Matt (43:30):
A dog of endurance, a dog of endurance, a working dog, a
working dog.

Eric (43:35):
An anxious dog, A dog that needs a job to do or it will
tear all your furniture apart.

Matt (43:41):
So that's what drew me to that, despite that not being my
favorite dog, which is a yellowlab, because of course I grew,
grew up with one, so thereforeit is my favorite.
Yeah, but the?
Um?
I don't think.
I don't think I'm a yellow lab,I don't think I'm a golden
retriever, that's why.
But I think I'm in theneighborhood, which is why I

(44:02):
went husky, because there's more.
I look at a husky and I see afellow spirit.

Eric (44:08):
And you also have husky eyes.

Matt (44:11):
You have those icy blue eyes, I do and like, I also feel
like the husky is a judgmentaldog and I respect that about
them.

Eric (44:21):
The dog.
A husky is one of those dogs,and there are many breeds like
this where you have to earn it.

Matt (44:28):
And that's what I want.
This goes back to the horsediscussion we had a couple of
episodes ago.
I want to be the horse thatpeople are afraid of, but once
you have earned the respect ofthe horse, yeah, you really feel
like you have won the lottery,like you are a special soul
because I have selected you.
Again.
I say once again I did know thesociopath test.

Eric (44:48):
Answer immediately yeah um , I also imagine that that my
dog barks.
It's not like a wolf, it's alike, it's like that throaty,
like fuck it, bro, I've, I've,nailed it.
Do you know the?
When you got that dog in them?

Matt (45:08):
you've seen the sandlot eric, that's the dog if you ever
insult me again, okay, like mydog, I don't know the sand is
like a puff of dusty breathcoming out of an ancient dog
house.

Eric (45:22):
That's the dog.

Matt (45:23):
Well, that dog is is sort of meant to evoke kujo before
you get to know the dog.
Right, it's a saint bernard,it's crazy, it's all drooly, but
, like you know, it ain't nocujo it ain't no cujo hercules,
that's the dog's name that'sright, it is and uh, he's a good
boy.
Yes, I forgot about my dog is agood boy.

Eric (45:44):
See, that's like I feel, like the dog in me emerges.
My dog's like a paladin.
My dog doesn't likeindiscriminately bark at people.
Sure my dog emerges whensomeone is being a bully or
someone is confidently incorrect.

Matt (45:57):
That is when my dog comes forth.
Eric, you mentioned being amutt and I don't disagree, but I
do want you to put a breed toit.
So here's what I think If youhad I before you know we
abandoned this I want you totell me a specific breed for
yourself and I.
I think you should give a breedto me as well.

(46:19):
I've already chosen my breedfor myself the Husky but like
I'd be interested to see whatyou have to say about me yeah,
cause I myself I got an idea fora breed for you.

Eric (46:29):
Okay, a breed, so for you?
Yeah.
Oh man, I'm not going todefault to Golden Retriever Too
easy.
What I will say let's see.

Matt (46:45):
You said too easy.
Do you think it applies?
Because I really don't think itapplies I true, it does not
that.

Eric (46:50):
That's that's why, like I feel like most people are like,
oh, golden retriever, like they,because it's it's considered
like such a compliment, but butlike temperament wise, you're
not a golden retriever like andsimilarly, I cast you we've
talked about this before in ashow where the character
description was a goldenretriever of a person.
Yes, and you played thatcharacter extremely well, thank
you, but I don't think youyourself are a golden retriever

(47:13):
I appreciate you, um, I wouldsay because we, we want
something that captures the, theanxiety, the need to do and
have a task.
You know what?
Oh, bro, you're a shepherd dog,like you are a.

Matt (47:36):
I take it.

Eric (47:37):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know the name of the exact breed, but
like the dog that literallythey use to herd sheep, yeah,
yeah, yeah, that is you.

Matt (47:46):
Yeah, I accept that as a breed.
You protect, but you direct.
Any of any of the shepherds Iagree with, maybe not german,
but other than that, the othersI agree with.
Yeah, um, so what breed for?

Eric (47:58):
yourself for myself.
Uh, this might just be becausemy brother has one and I, I, I
love him very and and I identifyvery heavily with this dog.
Um, people will jokingly saygreat Dane, just cause I'm tall,
um, but but no, um, uh, tooeasy.
Newfoundland, ooh, a new fee, anew fee there.

(48:18):
They're big, they have a big,gigantic presence, but they are
not like high.
They're very chill dogs untilyou give them a reason to not be
chill and similarly, I wasgoing with a slightly different
vibe.

Matt (48:49):
I was going with the.
I wouldn't say they're chillall the time, but they are known
for both when you give them areason to be aggressive or be
protective, which is more thedirection I'm going.

Eric (48:53):
They will do so.
But they can also be aloof andgangly and just bump into shit.
A boxer, yeah.

Matt (48:56):
I see a boxer for you.

Eric (48:57):
I do love boxers.

Matt (48:59):
Because they can be aggressive, they can be very
energetic.

Eric (49:02):
God love them.

Matt (49:03):
They need something to do, but they can also be just silly
boys.

Eric (49:07):
Silly boys that think they're so much smaller than
they are.
They do think that what are youdoing?
Going in there?
You're too big for that.

Matt (49:13):
You can't be in there.
You can't be in there, but theydon't know.

Eric (49:16):
They don't know, they refuse to believe, but they
don't know.
How many times have you turnedto?
You just go off doing my thingand you turn people like he
doesn't know, he doesn't yougotta you gotta let he'll tucker
himself out a little bit, he'lltucker himself.

Matt (49:31):
You know you can't just bring him to a museum.

Eric (49:33):
He doesn't look at things right yeah, I think everyone has
a different breed of dog inthem yeah, yeah, and I think I
don't think it's out of line tosay that that breed can change
that breed, can change over timebecause there's definitely
times that I'm a kuja, you know.

Matt (49:49):
Oh yeah, I'm a rabid saint bernard, you know, there are
definitely times.
There are definitely times, andthere's definitely times where
I feel like a lab or a goldenretriever, just a good boy who
lives to be a good, good boy.
And then there are other timesyou got that dog, I got that dog
, you got that dog, yeah, andthat dog is a fucking chihuahua

(50:11):
who's yelling at things that caneasily kill him, but he doesn't
know or care.

Eric (50:18):
Yeah, can I straw poll you on something real quick?
Always, always.
Can you recall a recent time orjust a time in your life when
you've seen someone and thoughtto yourself oh, you got that dog
in them not authentically,because I don't think I am a bro
, so I I don't think.

Matt (50:40):
That thought just crosses my brain in a non-bit setting
yeah, okay.

Eric (50:45):
Well, let me see this like can you think of a recent
example?
You see someone and inretrospect you're like oh, he
had that dog in him.

Matt (50:50):
I'm thinking do you have?

Eric (50:52):
one ready to go?
Yes, uh, I, I've, I've got one,and this is this is.
This is like an in retrospectyeah one I.
I've got two quick examples.
Example number one I was this.
I was this was years ago I wasdriving through Baltimore and
there was I.
I accidentally cut someone off,like I didn't realize they were

(51:13):
trying to get over, and, like I, it was one of those where I'm
like, oh, if I had been payingmore attention I should have
just let you over, you, you youshould have gotten over.
And there was this dude in aminivan who was just like
dancing, like doing littlegrooves in his driver's seat,
and then, like I, accidentallycut him off and without missing
a beat and without like breakingstride in his dancing, he just

(51:34):
did a little flip me off and itwas like oh, he got that dog in
bark.
Other example these are, andthese are like different flavors
of having that dog in you.
Uh, recently I was walkinglittle nizumi, uh, the palm tree
of the house, and I was walkingacross the park and I see, and

(51:55):
like I'm in dundalk, so likethere's this guy walking down
the street.
I'm in dundalk.
It is not uncommon for peopleto be walking down the street
yelling random shit, yeah tothemselves, to a nearby, to
someone, and this guy, unseenthird party, this guy is walking
down the street loudly yellinghe just keeps going my baby,

(52:22):
where's my baby?
And I'm like just doing that,I'm like what the fuck is
happening.
And then at and and I realizedit's because like where he was
walking there was like a littleslight hill inclined so I
couldn't see like near his feettoo well but he just goes
where's my baby?
And then a little, a littlewiener dog in a sweater runs up

(52:43):
behind him to his side.
He goes oh, there you are.
Oh man, oh, he's got that dogin him.
That is sweet.

Matt (52:52):
I did like it as a story better when it was just a random
, yeah drugged man saying wheremy baby as he goes down a hill.

Eric (53:01):
That dude was so chill.
We pass by each other andnormally I I typically I judge
the fuck out of out of peoplewho walk around with their dogs
not on a leash, uh, but oh yeah,this dog was not on a leash,
but once I saw the dogapproaching, it was an ancient
little wiener dog wearing acardigan.
I'm like okay, okay this dog isis not like.

(53:24):
Here's what we.
We walked by I I learned hisname is pretty boy.
Oh um, and he came up.
He was flirting with nazumi.
They, they, they liked eachother a lot.
A lot of waggle of the tail isvery chill, but he's like, as
the owners walk, he's likepretty boy, what are you doing?
Pretty pretty boy, come on, wegotta go.
I can't watch, I can't leaveyou around the girls, pretty boy
, come on, pretty boy.
And then pretty boy can't helphimself when he's around the

(53:46):
girls.
Pretty boy cannot help.
And that guy, that guy had thatdog in him.
That dog was pretty boy I thinkthe last time.

Matt (53:51):
I don't think I thought it at the time.
But now I'm thinking of aperson who did have that dog in
that dog.
We were at a yankee oreo gameat camden yards not too long ago
and the the guy in front of mehad decked out in old, like
older merch, like the jacketfrom the 90s, the sport jacket,

(54:13):
you know the one I'm talkingabout.
It's puffy, like he's got thatOreo jacket on that he's been
clearly using every year for 35years to come to these, these
seats.
He's talking to people aroundhim as if they're his friends
when they are not.
He is texting people on hisphone about the game, the phone.

(54:37):
I know this because his phonescript size, his text size, was
big enough that from the rowbehind it I could read it.
And there were times Lindsay waslike saying something to me and
I'd say I'm sorry, I'm readingbecause I'm just reading this
guy's text and like he's textingsomebody about, oh my God, I

(54:58):
can't believe you know what theso-and-so in the bullpen.
What a piece of shit, like allthis kind of stuff that he'sling
from from you know certainlyinaudible distance.
It's not like he's front row ofthe dugout, like he.
He's trying to heckle people.
He's with no one, he has noaccompaniment, he's just there

(55:20):
by himself.
He's sending it.
He had that dog in him.
He got that dog.

Eric (55:25):
He had that dog.
If I could leave us with onemore example this is when, when
I and, and because I thought Iwas like, oh this, I didn't
witness this happen, but this isa famous example.
Uh, this was the dude, um, thesoccer fan in london.
Uh, when there was, like thiscrazy ass knife attack in a
steakhouse near l Bridge, likethree knife-wielding attackers

(55:48):
barged in and began likeslashing at diners and this dude
stood up and screamed famously,fuck you, I'm Millwall.
And just started fighting threeknife-wielding maniacs, while
the rest of the diners could getout and get to safety.
He had that dog in him.

Matt (56:06):
He had that dog in him, or the lion, which I believe is
the um the badge of middle wall,Um.
So absolutely, and yeah, I'dsay definitely, got that dog in
him.
If you any kind of heroicism,fuck yeah, you got that dog.

Eric (56:21):
And I'll say this I wish you would.
I'll say this no one, if youcan hear my voice, I'll tell you
this right now.

Matt (56:31):
Tell it to me, for God's sake.
You got that dog in you, youmight have that dog.

Eric (56:37):
The question isn't do you have that dog in you?
The question is when you'regoing to let them out.

Matt (56:43):
Oh, Eric Issuing a challenge to the audience.
I like that.
I like ending it with achallenge, because that does
indeed transition right on intoour next segment of the show,
which is, of course, googlegreat season.
Five, round two, part two.
Round two, part two, round two.
Because right now, eric, youturned in your, your half of

You've really put me up againstit with this one.
So, for those of you, new, realquick Google Gripes game, we

You caught up good matthew, areyou ready?

Eric (57:38):
hmm, yes, very good and, honestly, similar to what you
told me last time.
I don't I've.
I've got my three movies.

Matt (57:47):
I've been struggling with putting putting them on a
difficulty scale, so I'm justgonna throw them out and that's
very fair, because that isexactly what I said to you last
time I wasn't sure what was theeasiest, what was the hardest.

Eric (57:57):
I appreciate the uh transparency.

Matt (57:59):
I wasn't even intending to do that, it's just like I was
like I can't quantify it so, uh,five to two, I am down, I'm
getting, I'm getting notepadready so I can jot some notes if
necessary.
So, eric, whenever you're ready, my friend, I am ready to
receive them.
Reviews.

Eric (58:18):
Movie one Review number one.
This movie is just the blankmovie's less cool, less thick
cousin.
It doesn't deserve all the hypeTBH.
The movie itself is fine, butit needs to be thicker.
I will change my rating when itbecomes thick.
The blank movie is much better.

(58:39):
Hashtag we love thick, blank.

Matt (58:40):
Hmm, okay, that's interesting Review number two.

Eric (58:45):
After watching this movie, my sister lost a child oh my
God.
Immediately after leaving thehospital, we found a blue ant in
her.
Oh my God, okay.

Matt (58:59):
Mention of Nicolas Cage in a way that says to me he's not
in the film.
One of the is an interestingthing to pull out, and so is
blue ant.
All of that adding up toabsolutely nothing for me.

Eric (59:16):
Continue review number three this is just upsetting and
the animation was disappointingbecause it felt like the cars
trailer from 2005.
Blank was 20 times better Okay.

Matt (59:28):
Interesting.
I think I have a guess, becauseI was thinking animated, I was
getting animated vibes and I wassort of between two options.
Like it was a remake, like Iwas thinking, oh, this is a

(59:51):
they're talking about comparedto the original.
Is what I was thinking, butmaybe I was off track.
But I'm going to ask aclarifying question you can tell
me if this is true or not?
When, in this review, youcensored the blank movie?
Yeah, is the name of that moviethe something movie?

Eric (01:00:12):
It is not literally the something movie.
I will tell you this it'ssomething movie.

Matt (01:00:17):
Oh, okay, Then I think I have my guess.
What's your guess?
I think the movie that iscensored is B movie and the
movie in question.
I'm between two.

Eric (01:00:29):
I know which two they are.

Matt (01:00:30):
I hope I'm not picking the wrong one, I'm gonna say a
bug's life you chose correctly,the other one being ants yes,
yes.

Eric (01:00:40):
And and in the last, in the last one, when they said
blank was 20 times better, they,it was ants was 20 times better
yeah, I disagree with thatprobably, but to be honest, I
haven't seen these two in ageneration I've actually never
seen ants, I've never seen bmovie ants is good.

Matt (01:00:55):
I've I've never seen b movie.
I feel like I know all the plotpoints of b movie from
reputation alone, but yeah well,actually sorry, technically.

Eric (01:01:04):
I have seen b movie, but I've only seen the version where
the movie doubles in speedevery time they say the word b.
Oh, oh yeah.

Matt (01:01:11):
That's very good, but the key there for me was the blue
ant.
That is what put me on thetrack of Bugs Life.
Yep, okay, all right, as I sayalways, at least I got that
first one out of the way.
So I'm not zeroing it out.

Eric (01:01:29):
Yeah.

Matt (01:01:29):
Second movie Second movie, second movie.

Eric (01:01:31):
First review.
First review Was excited towatch this movie based off memes
I've seen.
It looked very good.
The plot actually was good andI was intrigued.
The main character was veryinteresting.
After about 35 minutes themovie went to shit.
There was no sense of directionand turned into nothing but sex
and unrealistic murder.
An absolute waste of two hours.

(01:01:52):
So disappointed in this movie.
It had no sense of directionand was completely pointless.

Matt (01:01:57):
The movie is terrible okay , um, not a ton there.
It's memeable sex and murderafter the first 30 minutes, but
it's two hours long.
That's the main points I'mtaking away.

Eric (01:02:10):
Review number two.
Review number two.
This movie is an insult tocinema, to writing, to
storytelling and to its audience.
It is only a gore fest withoutcharacter development, story or
anything else for that matter.
It seems like it only offers toshow the problems of our
society.
When so many hype up films likethese, films with no reason,
concern or justification toexist, it feels like a slap in

(01:02:33):
the face.
Avoid, okay.

Matt (01:02:36):
All right, I think I know the genre at the very least.
Like I think I'm in theballpark, yeah.

Eric (01:02:41):
Review number three Uh-huh Character talks about himself
like a 12-year-old child in a YNWattpad fanfic.
Trying to be deep, he talks asif he's trying to sell you a
secondhand car and keepsbragging over the fact that he
has no personality.
The acting was good and I getthat it was satire, but I had

(01:03:01):
higher hopes Satire.

Matt (01:03:04):
That is not where I was thinking at all.
Okay, oh shit, that was reviewnumber three.
That was review number three,was review number three.
Oh god, oh golly.
All I wrote down from that wascharacter talks about self
satire do you know I'm gonnapause right there.

Eric (01:03:20):
Do you know what I mean when I say a yn wattpad fanfic?
No, uh, y slash n means yourname.
So it's like there there arepeople who like write fanfic and
there are ones where, like youcan just insert your name as the
character's name.
Oh, okay.

Matt (01:03:37):
Eric, I'm lost on this.
Eric, I'm lost on this.
I thought for sure for a whilewe were talking about like a
classic slasher, like a Fridaythe 13th, a Halloween, some sort
of horror movie where, like,there's teen sex and lots of
death after the first 30 minutesor so.
But the satire is reallythrowing me, because that could

(01:04:03):
be like a lot of differentthings.

Eric (01:04:06):
Like, is it a?

Matt (01:04:07):
spoof, or is it a?

Eric (01:04:08):
commentary.

Matt (01:04:10):
And when they're talking about character talking about
himself for some reason, Ithought, is that meaning they're
talking about themselves in thethird person?
And in which case, for somereason?
I don't think this is it.
I think we might have done ittoo.
I was thinking that sounds likeQuint from Jaws, little bit to

(01:04:31):
me like talking about himselfand his grand adventures and all
this stuff.
I could also see it being kevinspacey in like american beauty
or the usual suspects.
Yeah, uh, but that doesn't havethe gore factor.
So then I was back to like arewe talking about like a
Tarantino movie, but which,which would have both of those

(01:04:56):
things like uh, the, the and,and they mentioned unnecessary,
like an unrealistic death?
So I was like that to me sayssomething like uh, uh, uh, dead
alive kind of movie, where it'slike very over the top, very
intentionally, sort of bad, butthere's no sex in dead alive,

(01:05:17):
also known as brain dead.
Um, great, you know the movieI'm talking about.

Eric (01:05:22):
Okay, just making sure it's been a while since I kick
ass for the lord.

Matt (01:05:28):
Um god, what a great fucking peter jackson movie that
is.
Um, uh, but yeah, um but yeahoverall.
I'm a little bit lost on thiseric and I don't have a good
guess lined up.
What I know is it's satirical,possibly, possibly satirical.

Eric (01:05:50):
That's just what the reviewer said.
Who can say?

Matt (01:05:52):
that's just what the reviewer said.
It could just have a messageand like that the god, you were
in a movie.
Have a message god forbid anartist try to make a statement.
Um, to be honest, I don'tremember donnie darko well
enough to know to remember likeI seen parts of it.
So I know the character liketalks about himself and feels

(01:06:15):
like he doesn't have apersonality or whatever, but
that I mean if it was TV youcould be talking about Dexter, I
guess.

Eric (01:06:22):
Yeah.

Matt (01:06:23):
And is that itself a hint?
Are we talking about, likesomething around a serial killer
and and something that has sexinvolved?
Because for a while I wasthinking we could be talking
about any one of the saws ohsure but they but there's not
enough sex yeah, to check thesex.

Eric (01:06:43):
My one gripe with that series god, if only there was
more penetration only there wasmore bush, more penetration that
didn't involve a blade Yep.
Well, Matt.

Matt (01:06:57):
Damn, eric.
I know I got to.
I was trying to talk my wayinto an answer, yeah, and I just
don't have a good one.
The Nicolas Cage oh, that wasthe last one that was yeah.
And it's also memeable, that'sthe thing like yeah, it comes to
me from memes.
If I'm that first reviewer, Iwas interested in this because

(01:07:20):
of the memes.
I'm not gonna get this.
I know I'm not.
Is it seven?
I'm gonna go with seven I'mgonna say seven I'm gonna say I
was close with the, the KevinSpacey thing, and I had the
wrong movie.
I don't feel great about it.
I don't feel a hundred percent,but I got to say something.
I'm going to go.
I know I'm taking an L on this.

(01:07:40):
I don't have that dog on me.
I'm going to say seven.

Eric (01:07:44):
Matthew, yeah, it is not.
Seven is not seven.
Is it one of the many movies Imentioned?
No, actually damn.
And this is going to be onewhere I I I don't know how to
sugarcoat this you're going tobe mad, matt and we, and it's
actually appropriate that we hadthe cold open, that we did.
But, matt, I'm going to rewindour memory to just pass the cold

(01:08:06):
open.
I'm already upset.
I'm already primed to be angryif you remember when I mentioned
handing you my business card?

Matt (01:08:14):
I mean look at the subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful
thickness of it.

Eric (01:08:19):
Oh my God, Matt, it even has a watermark.
You all have to know americanpsycho is one of his favorite
movies and he's read the book, Ithought this would be a slam
goddamn entertaining thoughtthis would be a slip dunk,
everybody happy.

Matt (01:08:38):
You're trying to make sure that you keep pace with eric
and you're not thinking aboutyour own fucking knowledge, your
own fucking brain oh, he's back, he's back, here he comes.

Eric (01:08:51):
Hey, how you feeling, buddy?

Matt (01:08:54):
Was it American Psycho?
It was American Psycho.
Yeah, fucking fuck.
I saw you talking.
I had to leave the room.
I don't know if Eric mentionedthat.

Eric (01:09:06):
I was giving them some backstory how it's one of your
favorite movies.
It's like you've read the book.
I wouldn't say it's one of yourfavorite movies.
It's like you've read the bookand like I I wouldn't say it's
one of my favorite movies.

Matt (01:09:16):
I have read the book.
You dot, you dove into it hard.
Yeah, the book is the movie.
It's a great movie.
It's quite different than thebook.
The book is so much worse.
Oh my god, the gerbil, um,anyway, the yeah, okay, I see it
now I see it now.

Eric (01:09:34):
I was like, I was like and the whole time I was like any
second he's gonna like anysecond and that's why I kept
talking.

Matt (01:09:41):
I was talking myself because I was like one of these
things.
I was I'm gonna diarrhea themouth, something that's gonna
make me go oh it this.
But it didn't quite happen.
So the score right now is stillfive to three, with a movie
remaining, so you will have anadvantage going into the last
round.
The question is how much?
God, I hope I get this Moviethree Review.

Eric (01:10:05):
Number one With a game in hand.

Matt (01:10:08):
With a game in hand.
Yeah, yeah.

Eric (01:10:10):
Review number one movie three Absolute garbage.
One of the worst movies I'veseen in my life.
A cliche fest of boring,unlikable characters by a B-list
group of actors none of whomcan carry a film.
And I'm just going to tell youthis now.
You're out of the review rightnow.
No, no, no, no.
I'm about to start saying, likefamous actor in brackets, these

(01:10:35):
are all famous actors okay, no,that's what I was saying yeah
the words you're speaking arenot in the review no so yeah, to
clarify.
You just said they're b listactors b, you're saying actors
none of whom can carry a film,and that was.

Matt (01:10:50):
that was where I cut off and you cut off and you're
saying these are a list actors.

Eric (01:10:55):
These are, these are like.

Matt (01:10:56):
I say famous actor in brackets.

Eric (01:10:58):
These are famous actors, ok, ok.
So to start.
Famous actor proves time andagain that he's box office
cancer.
And other famous actor wasnever anything more than a poor
man's.
Harrison ford, holy fuck, Iknow what a fucking dig, uh, not
to mention.

(01:11:18):
Third famous actor a total asswipe of an actor.
The plot isn't worth mentioningand there's nothing about this
film to recommend.
It isn't funny.
The action sequences arerecycled.
Cgi you've seen a hundred timesand there's no romance that I
can remember.
If you see this pos movie on tvsomewhere and you will turn the

(01:11:42):
channel quickly, whoa like.

Matt (01:11:46):
For the first time in a long time, I have to say, you
have presented a review thatreally fucking went for it.
Visceral Like this guy hatesthis movie With like despises it
.
Like this review, tells me ifyou brought this movie up to

(01:12:08):
this man in a bar.
God help you.

Eric (01:12:11):
Truly.
And what's wild is reading theone-star reviews for this movie.
Up to this man in a bar.
God help you.
Yeah, truly.
And what's wild is reading theone star reviews for this movie.
I had to like filter throughbecause most of them were of
this tone just utter and it.
I'm just saying like that's noteven a hint, because it makes no
sense to me, like it iscompletely visceral hatred of
this movie.
Okay, review number two.

(01:12:31):
Review number two the mostfunny movie ever, for sure.
The human war toys are going todestroy a huge blank with high
technology, hollywoob propaganda, human war toys are going to
destroy something I lost.

Matt (01:12:51):
the end of it.

Eric (01:12:52):
Destroy a huge blank with high technology Review number
three.
The special effects wereexcellent, particularly for the
90s, but the storyline is thebiggest load of far-fetched,
contrived and laughablyunbelievable garbage I have ever
had the misfortune to sitthrough.
That was three.

(01:13:14):
Again, that was three again.

Matt (01:13:15):
That was three again.
Okay, I mean, eric, this isgood, I mean this is hard.
I might very well end up withfive to three going in, because
I'm gonna have to give you somehard, hard, hard reviews in
round.
Oh, you're gonna have to, you'regonna have to hurt me bad eric
I have so many ideas writtendown I'm going to tell you right
now what I've written downthroughout the course of what
you've written, okay, okay, my,the first thing I wrote down was

(01:13:37):
small soldiers.
Oh fucking love small soldiers,small soldiers, eric.
First thing I wrote down.
Second thing I wrote downindependence day.
Third thing, I wrote down conair.
Fourth thing I wrote down therock.
So all four food groups and I'mnot even sure any of them are

(01:13:58):
correct.
I think I'm ruling out smallsoldiers.
Okay, because I I don't get,even though it's a mix, I don't
get an animated vibe from um,from the story Box office.
Cancer put me on the scent ofNicolas Cage.
I don't agree with that.
I don't agree with that.
I do not agree with that, butit put me on the.

Eric (01:14:19):
It put me in mind of Nicolas Cage when you put
yourself in the shoes of someonewith objectively wrong opinions
.

Matt (01:14:24):
Yes, and that could be who this person is referring to as
a poor man's Harrison Ford.
And that's tripping me up,because I'm thinking to myself
who is a poor man's HarrisonFord?
You know, like, yeah, that'slike I'm using my brain and the
first thing that came to mindand again I don't agree with

(01:14:46):
this was Jeremy Renner.
Like, for some reason, that namecame to mind hawk guy, hawk guy
like I was like I like becausehe has a little bit of like a
dignity to him but he's also anaction star and he he has
one-liners.
So I was like, okay, he kind ofchecks all the different boxes,

(01:15:07):
harrison ford checks Differentboxes.

Eric (01:15:09):
Harrison Ford checks A certain Junagere Renner.
Junagere quoi?
Yeah?

Matt (01:15:16):
But it's also a movie that's always on TV.

Eric (01:15:19):
You're chasing all the right leads.

Matt (01:15:21):
I will say it's always on TV.
That's pointing me towards theRock and Con Air, and I'm
leaning a lot harder towards therock mentions lots of bad cgi
and then other places.

Eric (01:15:36):
The cgi is complimented but?

Matt (01:15:38):
but the thing is, you're talking about the um, a huge
thing with human technology, orthe quote is with high
technology.

Eric (01:15:48):
If I I'll give you the quote again uh, for sure, the
human war toys are going todestroy a huge blank with high
technology.
I'll give you the quote againFor sure, the human war toys Are
going to destroy a huge blankWith high technology.
What I believe this person istrying to convey Is the humans
are going to Destroy a hugeblank.
That is, the blank has hightechnology.

Matt (01:16:07):
I see, in that case I'm ruling out the rock, because
theist there is like a terroristgroup and it's bomb-based and I
don't think that's what it is.
I think the mention of humanwar toys, now that I'm on to it,
is because I was confused aboutthe high technology.

(01:16:29):
I thought you were saying thehumans are using high technology
to defeat the foe Gotcha,gotcha, gotcha.
But in effect, becauseIndependence Day, I was like, oh
, it can't be that, because theyultimately just fly a fucking
F-16 into the thing, and that'swhy I think now it is
Independence Day.
And that's my final answer.

Eric (01:16:47):
Before I tell you what the answer is, do you want to know
the three names that wereblanked out?
Yeah, Will Smith, Bill Pullmanand one Jeff Goldblum.
He's back, baby.
It is Independence Day, he'sback.

Matt (01:17:04):
All right, five to four I can work with.

Eric (01:17:07):
Bill Pullman, the poor man's Harrison Ford.
Oh, I know why they're sayingthat because of space balls.

Matt (01:17:18):
Oh, oh, oh they're saying that because of space.

Eric (01:17:20):
Oh see, I didn't even put that together.
I thought he was saying becauseharrison ford had played a
president and then bill pullmanwas playing the president in
this one the harrison ford'splayed multiple presidents at
this point, but of course Ithink you're thinking of Air.

Matt (01:17:34):
Force One.
What a great movie.

Eric (01:17:36):
Oh yeah, but with Bill Pullman in Spaceballs I will
accept no insult of Bill Pullman.

Matt (01:17:43):
No, Bill Pullman is a national treasure and I'll say,
okay, you want to call BillPullman B-list, I'll agree with
you Jeff Goldblum, especiallythen A-list Will Smith.

Eric (01:17:54):
A-list.

Matt (01:17:56):
Even with his recent bullshit, he's still.

Eric (01:17:59):
A-list.
Oh yeah, and fucking you know.
Wild Wild West haven't evenhappened yet, so how could you
say that?
How could you say that?

Matt (01:18:09):
I love Wild.

Eric (01:18:09):
Wild West for the fucking record.

Matt (01:18:11):
And also, I haven't seen Independence Day in so fucking
long.

Eric (01:18:14):
Such a good movie.

Matt (01:18:15):
Yeah, and how dare you going to insult Bill Pullman in
this film, where he gives thesingle best monologue of that
about America?

Eric (01:18:27):
One of the most, one of the most famous speeches in
movies, and when I say famous,like well-known fucking
everybody knows Well-known linesat this point.
Yes.

Matt (01:18:39):
No like wow, Okay, hey, but okay.
So the final score after thetwo rounds is five to four.

Eric (01:18:47):
I can work with that.
I'm in it.

Matt (01:18:52):
I only need you to miss one to force a tie if I get them
all right.
But I know you, the two of usare about to go at it.
We're gonna have it's gonna behard round three, is it not
clash of titans?
Are we in agreement that we'reboth going for this?

Eric (01:19:07):
