We know that he was going to Burning Man. Yes,
he had never been to Burning Man. And when we
talked to him before he was going, did we know
why he was going to Burning Man?

Speaker 4 (00:16):
He mentioned one element that he was interested in checking out.

Did Wardion tell all these people hey, I we group photo.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I could see him doing that and.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Whardyon we agree if Wardion drops the elliot in the
morning T.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Shirt he's naked. He's naked, of course he.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Is, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Why'd you turn back around to look at it again?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, I will say this, he's got sick abs like
he's got unbelievable abs.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Mm hmm. But he ain't got nothing on underneath that shirt.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't know, because the whole point is to be naked.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Oh thanks Diane.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Thanks, Well you would have been like lame because he
sent a picture of everybody else's naked and him and
like a T shirt and shorts.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Some of these people I think they even said no sunscreen,
like you have to be like totally natural?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Can I can? I?

Speaker 6 (02:45):
And I'm not talking smack about anybody. The guy on
the far right, Yes, with the black hat. Have you
ever seen an ass crack that short?

Speaker 8 (02:57):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
See, I think that's a that is a small as.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Girl.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
Girls have shorter ass cracks.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Than guys, scientifically proving we have talking about this before,
But this one, to me is concerning.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
What like it's a deformity.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's like, you know, we used to have tails.

Speaker 6 (03:20):
But the guy on the right, it looks like it looks.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Like maybe it's the way he's maybe it's the way
he's like thrusting out. Yeah, that's I think it's a position.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, if I show you mine, will you tell me
if it looks right or wrong?

Speaker 6 (03:33):
God, girl over here she does have a small one.

Speaker 7 (03:37):
How about the guy kneeling next to her on the right,
that is that is by the way, that's burning You
got a.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Lot of hair because he's like he's kneeling on one leg.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Line three Michael.

Speaker 8 (03:51):
Wardian, Hey, Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Dude?

Speaker 8 (03:57):
You got the pictures? All right?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Good dude? Did I know?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
I don't Why don't I remember you saying that this
is what you were gonna do. Uh.

Speaker 8 (04:12):
It wasn't the only thing I did out there. I
did a lot of other stuff, but that was one
of the things.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, and this group of people is this who you
went running with?

Speaker 8 (04:23):
H they were just part of well that was actually
only like half of the runners because they were the
only ones willing to take a picture you.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, hey, so how far?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
How far did you guys run?

Speaker 8 (04:40):
It was a mile?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Now, I know for you that's nothing, but with your
bits and stuff flopping around, I feel like that's a
long run.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's gotta feel weird.

Speaker 8 (04:52):
It felt so weird. I've never done it before. Yeah,
I ended up stuck it. There was a guy in
my camp that passed me in the last like two
hundred meters.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now, let me.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Ask you this warnion was the well two things behind
that T shirt?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
You have nothing on?

Speaker 8 (05:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, man, you gotta it's a fully engaged activity. Yeah,
you gotta be you gotta be naked.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
What was the And remind me why were you going
to burning Man just to go?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (05:23):
Well, I ran the fifty k, I got third in
the fifty k, and then I did the five day.
I got second in that. So I was out there
to run, but also just to check it out.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I got you now as a runner, like I'm not
gonna lie I'm disappointed that you didn't win, and getting
second and third is fine. As somebody who was just
going to check out Burning Man, was it awesome?

Speaker 9 (05:46):
Was like?

Speaker 1 (05:46):
How was it?

Speaker 8 (05:48):
Oh? Yeah, it was crazy? It was unbelievable. I think
like it's worth it just to go to see the art,
but then to meet the people I think was one
of my favorite parts for sure. And then I camped
with the running camp, so we were the ones who
put on all the races, So that was our gift
to the community. Was the fifty k, the five k,

(06:11):
the beer There was also a beer mile, right sure,
naked un naked mile, and then the race called the
Odyssey was it?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
And and you had never been before? Was it? Was
it more than you could have imagined it was going
to be?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (06:30):
Yeah, I mean I think you warned me that your
friend said it's going to be the most.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Hidden never You've never seen so many titties in his life.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
Yeah, that's exactly the comment that I remembered, and I
one hundred percent agree. And I'd say also like aid plants, Uh,
never seen that before either.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now wait are you are you because I know it
just wrapped up this weekend?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Are you still out there.

Speaker 8 (06:59):
No, I got that. I left right after the guy
burned on Saturday night. Oh okay, I had a pretty tragic,
like forty eight hours of travel. I got trapped in
the entry line for twenty hours, so I was one
hundred percent trying to avoid getting trapped on the way out.
So I left before the temple burned. But after the

(07:21):
man burned.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I got you.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, no, because we had heard about all the delays
getting in and listen, I don't blame it. You were you,
you had finished your thing. You saw burning, man burned,
but not the village? Is it in talking to people?
Because Mike, you're very you're a very social person. Did
you did you come did you come away from it going?

Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I get it to me, it's a mystery, right, and
not in a good way or a bad way.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'm fascinated by it.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
But you hear all these stories where it's like a
bunch of rich old men who have you know, like
million dollar RVs, And then you hear that it's just
a great community people relying on each other like it's it.
It kind of has multiple personalities, if you will.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
Yeah, I think it's like any real city, like it's
a real city that they set up with like eighty
thousand people. So you definitely have the people that have
the fancy RVs and the private borda potties, and then
you have like the people that are sleeping on their
own at the edge of town like in the walk
in free camping, and then you have everything in between.

(08:30):
Like me, I was part of the running camp, so
we all took care of each other. We had like
a communal kitchen. We got to really you know, invest
in time in meeting each other and spending time together
and cooking meals and sharing like you know, cleaning up
the camp and setting up their races, and and then

(08:50):
you have like all the people that are part of
the community. Like literally you like walk around and people
serve you noodles or there's like a full sized guy.
And then there's all these like amazing art carts that
are art cars that like drive around, Like there was
like a tesla that someone cut the roof off and

(09:11):
put like whalebones on. There's a dragon that breathes fire
that's in the art car. There's all these like incredible
events like the entire day, it's like being in New
York City, but outside and everything is free. And that's
a way to explain it.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Is it? Is it?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Mayhem?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Not Mayhem makes it sound like it's dangerous and out
of control?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Is it a twenty four hour a day, seven day
a week. I don't even want to call it a party,
but just is there activity all the time?

Speaker 8 (09:46):
Yes? All the time? Like if you wanted to do
something the entire time, you could, And like Sunrise is
a big deal. So there's always like concerts at Sunrise,
but you know, at two o'clock in the morning there
might be a place serving like Newles or I saw

(10:06):
a singer songwriter from New Zealand that played at three
o'clock in the morning at the Center Camp. So yeah,
there's always something to do. You just have to kind
of decide what you want to do and you know
how you're going to get there. And one of the
other things I did is I ran all the streets,
so it was like sixty seven miles so I got
to see you like pretty much the entire.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Oh dude, the entire city.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Did you do that with your daughters?

Speaker 5 (10:33):
No?

Speaker 8 (10:33):
No, no, I did that in my Hunter S. Thompson
outfit so.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
You were.

Speaker 8 (10:43):
I'll send you a picture. Yeah it was pretty fun.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Now will you Will you ever go back?

Speaker 8 (10:50):
Oh? I would like to for sure. Like I was
lucky that I found a camp that really appealed to me.
So I would love to be part of uh Camp
Pink Lightning again. Like I thought they did a really
good job, like with the events and like I really
like the people. I think next year it just falls
when I want to run the Pacific Crest Trail, So

(11:11):
I think it'll be hard to make it work next year.
But I would like to go back for sure. And
I think it would be really cool to like take
the kids, Like I think it would be mind expanding
for them for sure.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
How about mind blowing? Have they ever? I know you've
never seen that much dong in one place. How about
the kids?

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (11:29):
Pretty sure. No, they have been around runners a lot though,
So I mean there's that, but yeah, that was that
was That was.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
A lot by the way, Like, I don't know, I know, Tyler,
what are you thumbing through?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Is this all Wardian's pictures?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Oh dude, your pictures are amazing. They really are.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
Oh thanks dude. Yeah, I that's not even like that's
only a couple of the highlights. I've definitely have a
lot more to post, like the stuff, but I'm trying
to get everything organized since I just got back.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Thank you, and I know that you said that you'd
like to bring the kids. Does missus Wardion have any
interest in.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
This at all?

Speaker 8 (12:13):
Oh my gosh. I tried so hard to get Jennifer
to go.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
She didn't.

Speaker 8 (12:17):
She has no interest in the I think she would
love it, but she has no interest in like the
dust and the port.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well, dude, I'm glad you went. That picture. Is amazing
that you sent us.

Speaker 8 (12:34):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Man.

Speaker 8 (12:35):
Yeah, I'm glad that you liked it, and I'm glad
that I was able to get some people did it.
Was it was like hurting cat, you know, except for
naked cat. Try to get that picture to uh to happen.
So I'm glad you guys got it.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's awesome. All right, Wardian, I appreciate it. We'll talk
to you soon, my friend.

Speaker 8 (12:56):
All right, buddy, and you.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Got it later.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Man, dear God, but don't you hear that and think
you want to go Nope. There are there are times
where I go nope, and then there are times where
I go yep.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
The one or two things you didn't ask him about
where those news stories that came out of this year.
But is it so big because this isn't like seventy
thousand people. Yeah, it's massive, but he said eighty. Yeah,
like you just are you unaware of the fact that
things are getting headlines nationwide and globally.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Let me grab line four because that's where I want
to go for that. Hey are you there?

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (13:37):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Who's this?

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (13:40):
This is Josh and DC.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Hey Josh, how are you sir? Doing well? Good?

Speaker 10 (13:45):
I went I didn't go to this burn, but I
went to the past three.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
So do it perfect, perfect and again, whether whether or
not you were there this time or not. But I
like that you've been multiple times, so you have the
experience of and I would assume that every burning man
is different, but at the same time, there are similarities
in all of them.

Speaker 9 (14:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
Yeah, I mean some of the art comes back as well.
But the man's different every time, the people are different
every time, the layout of the city is different. Sometimes
they do changes every year, so yeah, it's always a
little bit of a different experience.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
So Tyler referenced the two stories that came out of
burning Man. This year there was the birth of a
child in the homicide of a man. If you are
at burning Man, do you know either of those two
events took place?

Speaker 10 (14:43):
The answer is kind of maybe it depends. Word travels fast.
But there's also a very prankster culture between all the
people at burning Man, so people try and start rumors
just for fun, So you really don't know if those
things are happening. And as you guys kind of said,
it's a city of eighty thousand people, so you know

(15:07):
things happened in the city. And yeah, the baby one
is wild. I don't think that's ever happened before.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Well they said it's the first time there's ever been
a child born at burning Man. And didn't they even
say the couple that had the kid, they had no
idea they were even pregnant.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
She thought she had food poisoning, right they had.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
The two of them had no clue that they were
expecting a child that from a from a from a standpoint,
her body wasn't showing signs of pregnancy. I'm guessing it's
kind of like when Scott's mom was pregnant and had
her period.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
The whole way through is there was no way of knowing,
and she did. She thought that they had that that
she she was just ill from some.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Food, pointingdicitis probably those noodles that William keeps talking about.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
And next thing you know, she's having a kid. There's
never been a kid born at burning Man. That shocked me.

Speaker 10 (16:03):
Yeah, one of the really cool things about burning Then
there's a saying on the PLAIA that PLIA provides, so basically,
if you forgot something, someone brought extra to the gift
and they have their own volunteer fire Department medical like ESD.
There's nurses all over the PLA there's people in basically

(16:23):
these souped up golf carts that can go handle emergencies.
They have a dispatch like a volunteer nine one one.
So yeah, I'm sure. I mean, there had to be
someone who's delivered a baby before and they were able
to go help.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
And then with the homicide, didn't they say that the
same way this was the first time a child had
been born, Isn't this didn't they report this is the
first time, not the first time that somebody has died,
but the first time that they are investigating a homicide.

Speaker 10 (16:54):
Yeah, that I don't know.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
Much about that.

Speaker 10 (16:56):
But I mean I've met people at the burn who
are in their nine and they say, oh, yeah, if
I die here, so like that's how it goes yea, And.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
What they look exactly, I get and I get that well,
I mean I understand that that rationale, that mindset. But
they said, now, obviously there were people that saw this,
this person laying in a pool of blood, and they
were they were being talked to, they were being you know,
I don't want to say investigated, but I guess part
of the investigation. So clearly they were in the know.

(17:27):
I don't know that everybody who was there was in
the know, but I also was. I was more shocked
that a baby had never been born than that this
was the first homicide, because I do believe that. Do
I believe that there's crime, yes. Do I believe that
they're opportunists, yes, But I was not shocked to read
after all these years it was the first homicide that

(17:50):
has ever taken place.

Speaker 10 (17:54):
Yeah, I'm I mean, everybody there is usually incredibly awesome.
You know, it's sad to hear something about that. I'm
interested to hear more when we get more information. But
it's a city of eighty thousand people, So you're going
to get some bad people in there.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Sure, yeah, no, and we and we'll see how everything
plays out in the in the investigation, Hey, out of curiosity,
why did you not go back this year?

Speaker 10 (18:24):
It is a lot of effort to go to the burn,
especially when you live on the East Coast. It's like
a month of prep beforehand to make sure that you're
prepared for any situation. The first rule of burning in
there's like ten principles. First one is radical self reliance,
so you have to be prepared for any situation. And
being part of a camp like your friend was, helps

(18:45):
a lot because if everybody's ready for any situation, you're
really prepared for any situation. But it's a lot of
work beforehand, and then after it's like a next another
month because you have to clean the dust off of
everything or else you get mold and the dust is alkaline. Uh,
so you can't just wash it off with water. You
get to wash it off with like vinegar or witch hazel.

(19:07):
So it's a lot of work. And I had been
to three in a row, and so I figured this
was a perfect time for a break.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
I love the idea you said, a break though.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
That doesn't mean you won't go back.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh you'll go back, Yeah, yeah, you'll.

Speaker 10 (19:20):
Definitely defolutely no, I want to go back. It's an
unbelievable experience.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
I want to go in the worst way.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
I don't want to spend a month cleaning which Hazel,
I don't want to spend a month prep in like
all my stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
But I mean I'd rather do the prep for going.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
I would rather just leave all my stuff there and
let it burn the But I do, I.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Do love the idea of going.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
You listen to this show The Million Guides.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Would I be good there?

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (19:49):
I mean I think you'd have a lot of fun.
There's nothing like you know, find You'll find those art
cars and you'll just say hey, are you taking riders?
And they'll let you on, and you'll ride on the
art cars. They'll take you to a bunch of different
art in Deeplia, and then before you know it, it's
like five a m. And you're watching the sunrise on
the wing of ah like an animal art car. You're

(20:14):
just sitting there on the wing, just watching the sunrise,
driving through ply and you're like, what am I doing?
Is a really fun thing?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Would Diane like it. No, No, the dust is.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
You can say.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
When it's your when it's your first burn. There's a
tradition that you you ring this bell. There's a bell
that you hit with a piece of rebar, and then
you roll around in the dust so that you stop
trying to not get dusty.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh, that's cool. I'm out. That's cool, and I'm in
the Naked Runners club. So I got it all over me.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Does anybody have a My eyes are so dry.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh, I didn't think about that. What do I do
about contacts? What do I do about contacts?

Speaker 6 (21:04):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
I wear goggles.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
I wear contacts the entire all three burns. You just
wash your hands really nicely before you can get the
hospital full body wipes, and you can use those to
basically give yourself a sponge bath every morning and night,
and wash your hands before you take out your contacts
and do anything.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Beautiful, beautiful, they've thought of everything. All right, very good man.

Speaker 10 (21:29):
You pour a little witch hazel in the packet too,
so that it takes off the dust.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
That's a good call. I got a lot of witch
hazel on my body.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
All right, very good.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend.

Speaker 10 (21:40):
Yeah, thanks, guys, you got it.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
There was an article in the Washington Post over the
weekend about the cleaning of the RVs.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh, it's got to be miserable.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
And this one guy was saying, and I think he
had twelve there this year. He owns a rental company.
But he said, powerwash is first and foremost. But then
he's a proprietary solution that he went through like twelve
or thirteen different versions of to find what would work
best by hand, because they're not spraying at that point.

(22:11):
You need to go in and do the dirty work yourself.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Like every seam.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
And well, how miserable would Diane be.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
I'd be stuck up to the rich people. Could I
just please come in for like ten minutes please?

Speaker 4 (22:33):
But I loved though the story about the birth immediately
as he's talking about how there is a volunteer group
that will come out and assist if their first did
is needed. But word spread about what was going on,
and nearby campers included an obgyn, a neonatal nurse, and
a pediatric doctor and they all came over to where this.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
And I can't say expecting mothers.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
I know, no, she thought she was making a duty,
but they.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Made a point out of the way the obgy n
was addressed.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh just underwear. I'm lucky for you. I just came
off my mushroom trip, so I am clearheaded.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Am I going to line one? Hi? Elliot in the morning.

Speaker 9 (23:19):
Hey, Elliott, it's Dutchy Goalie, Duchy, Goalie Duchy. I played
a tournament at No Regretsky's out at Burning Man.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Are you serious hockey out there?

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Yeah, Diane, I sent you the photo.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, did you really? Is it nuts?

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Dude? It's insane and I is.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
It roller hockey?

Speaker 9 (23:40):
I'm assuming Uh no, it's it's street hockey. Everyone's running around.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh that's awesome. That's awesome.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Wait when were you.

Speaker 9 (23:48):
A burning Man like I got back last night?

Speaker 6 (23:51):
Oh wait, you were just out there?

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah? I was just out there.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Hey, well you might know.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh did you see Wardyon and his penis go running
by you at any point?

Speaker 9 (24:01):
I mean I saw a lot of penises running past
me when I was working at Camp Avocado Toast.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
That's great, Hey, Dutchy, is this the first time you've
done Is this the first time you've done Burning Man?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah? I was.

Speaker 9 (24:18):
I was definitely a virgin Hey, is it so okay?

Speaker 3 (24:21):
A couple of things. Number One, answer the question you
were there? Did you know about the birth or the homicide?

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (24:28):
I know about both me and my crew. Since the
burn on Saturday nights seemed delayed or Sunday, I don't know.
The burning of the man I've lost all track of
time seemed delayed, right, and we couldn't figure out why.
And we believe it's because they had discovered the body.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I gotcha. I gotcha. Well, then that makes that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Did he have to roll around in the dust? Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Did you ring the bell? Did you ring the bell
and roll around in the dust?

Speaker 9 (25:01):
So I was going to decline to roll around in
the dust because I wasn't going to ruin my Taylor
Swift shirt?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
But you did.

Speaker 9 (25:14):
I did eventually because you cannot escape that dust.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
The How bad is your stuff really bad? Now that
you're back?

Speaker 9 (25:22):
I mean the stuff I brought back. I donated a
bunch of shirts I brought out with me because I
wasn't going to clean that craft.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I gotcha. Hey, was it better than you thought it
would be?

Speaker 5 (25:32):
Yes? And no.

Speaker 9 (25:34):
A lot of my camp people sucked and didn't volunteer
and give in and it's why I got angry and
went and played hockey tournament and played eleven games in
three and a half hours.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
So right, So it was ten percent of the people
do ninety percent of.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
The work exactly, but I do. I do have one
unreal story. I lost my phone in the middle of
the plaia and we managed to find it.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh dude, how'd you find it?

Speaker 9 (26:03):
It was it was a long process. We just went
biking around my Apple watch ping. We walked around, couldn't
find it, went back and as the other caller was saying,
you know, you got to be able prepared to survive,
So we hooked up a starlink to a car battery,
threw it in the back of a bike and just
started walking around, riding around until we got closer. My

(26:24):
phone had not linked to that one, so we went
and tore down the other starlink through that on the
back of our art car went down, saw a group
ended up walking up towards them and they.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Were like, hey, are you duchy?

Speaker 9 (26:37):
And man, I gave that man the longest hug I
think I've ever given anyone in my life.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Fantastic. All right, dude, Hey, good to talk to you.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
Good to talk to you too, buddy.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Hey letter Man, talk to you soon. But what is that?
Oh Danica Patrick was there? Oh see, but that's what
I mean. She wasn't hanging out with got You or Wardian. No.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, she's in a billion dollar RV where Diane's begging
to go in.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
She even captioned the photo maybe I'm a little bougie
Diane my sunset picnic on the PLI is a vibe.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Oh my god? Oh what what's no? Like I'm just
looking behind there you go, there you go.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Would you guys be annoyed if I came back and
talked about all the things I was doing on.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
The like like a little painted Paisley on your cheek,
like get out of here.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Well, I definitely have that.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
No no, But like if I just kept talking about
being on the plaia.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Would that bother you guys?

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Like it's normal for your Yeah, the first time you
refer to it as the burn, Yeah, I'd hit. You
can't strike someone through the phone.
