Hey, welcome to water Cooler. Oh yeah, thank you so

it with my Corolla digital buds of yesteryear with me today.
We have the key three all the way in Long Beach, California,
(00:32):
like myself, it's kaylen Bean.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
What's going on? Hey Kyleen, Hey Chris.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Hi hie. And then all the way you know, everyone
just turned it off with there any new listener that
we had Klein off that exchange just decided to move on.
Come on, we lost him, doesn't matter, dude, can't get
him back. They went to somewhere, they went somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well they're mean, they're missing out, They're missing out. So
you know, I feel bad for those people.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Honestly, if you could tell them one thing, if you
were able to reach out, how do you get him back?
Right now? Get him back for us?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
This is a great show. It's it's a lot of fun.
It's a lot of fun. Looy goosey and uh yeah,
now I thought you I thought you were gonna ask
me you know what I was up to, And I'm like, oh,
not much. Then you go okay, great, yeah, good, no
content today. I was gonna go, I'm a little sad actually,
and then you're gonna say why I had to take
(01:25):
the PlayStation back to storage again.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, we're gon we are going to get hearing about
I am actually just really infinitive your impression of me
just now. I totally like that pretty good? Right, that
is insulting, all right, and then all the way and no,
ho c a, it's mister Mike Johnson.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's all right, Hey, I got some news I don't
I don't drink anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Then it takes to get absolutely black outcome.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
See. But here's the thing, Dawson. Now, any others who
liked it, they just turned it off after you said more.
They didn't hear the second point. We're losing people. Guys.
You keep them on the show isn't important.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Wait, you gotta wait it out. You gotta see what
song they play next.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Come on, well, you know, I will say this. What
you really want to hear is the Patreon episodes, because
that's the additional episode we do every week where things
get real loosey goosey and uhh, I think they're probably
going to get pretty duy goosy for me again tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm just drinking claws again. That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He's drinking clause. Well, here's the thing, and that's any
listener that we had now just turned u off because like,
oh wow, going to an ad in what forty five seconds? Little,
it's an ad, it's a teaser, it's a teas. I
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I like the clause.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
If I'm like having like a boys bachelor party weekend
or something and you're pretty much forced to drink the
entire weekend, there's nothing easier than drinking a white claw
when you're hung over. It's a really good vehicle to
get you back in the action. I prefer the cus
(03:02):
because this is almost Mormon beer.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I get too full off beer. That's my problem. Too much,
too much beer, and it's just going right to the tummy,
and uh yeah, I like the claws are there later.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Well. The other thing too, The other thing too, is
if like because then I'm blacking out.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I was talking to my friend Rob Lewis, who was
the Greenberry combat medic right and when when they were
on duty, when they were on tour, but they were
you know, off duty, but you always had to be
on duty. They were allowed to drink two beers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, what's the point.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Well, if you drink too heavy I p as or
two Sierra Nevadas, it's going to do you a lot
better than drinking two cores lights. So the white claw
in that case, because it's got a greater.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Alcohol they have a lot of in Afghanistan.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
No, they were in Germany at the time.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, they had to climb. They had to climb to
a base at the top of a mountain, and then
when they got out there there's a small little pub
like an Alpine bar sitting on top of the mountain
in the Alps. I guess Germany and Switzerland border, and
(04:25):
then Switzerland and Italy border, right, it's that whole Alps area,
Am I correct?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I think as you were talking about climbing up and
having this thing at the top of a mountain, all
I could think about is Band of Brothers in the
last episode where they go up to a fucking like
Hitler's fucking house or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I'm that's the worst name for a bed and breakfast.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Ever, I'm more just interested in Dawson asking Kaitlin geography questions, sincerely,
I try.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I looked at it in.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
A fucking humiliating moment.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Again.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I was watching I was flipping channels the other night
and a show said mighty cruise ships. And I'm like,
all right, dude, I'll check out mighty cruise ships. I've
been on a few. Let's see what's up. Well, they
had this one Dutch Holland cruise ship that left out
(05:19):
of Amsterdam and went into the North Sea. And I
really had no idea how far north Finland and Sweden
and those countries are. They're like basically sitting in the
Arctic Circle. And if somebody had asked me before I
saw this mighty cruise ship thing point out Sweden on
(05:41):
a map, not a chance.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'd have a one. I'd have a one in three
chance of getting that one. Oh, because there's the three
of them right all next to each other.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Oh wait, Sweden and Finland are pretty much next to each.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Other, and Norway's the other one, right okay, and they're
also I got a one in three chance.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Again, it's pretty good, dude. That's better than I could do.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, I would. I would bet that in Vegas easily.
By the way, cal if you're looking for a light beer.
I just had a really light beer, Miller Extra Light.
That's yeah. They came out with a Miller Extra Light,
so it's so like you, yeah, you could see through
the can. Now, it's if if cores light is a
(06:24):
C minus. This is this is a scene after class.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's good. But I loved it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's very it's sessionable. I think it's a lighter ABV
as well, but it's only like sixty something calories a
can too. It's like, yeah, real lightweight. So if you
see some Miller Extra Light track, kil let me know what.
You don't feel bloated and uh you can just pound them? Yeah, yeah,
good shotgunning stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I still, you know, I'm still a big fan of
the natural light. I don't see it that often though.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Just go to a college party, yeah, I feel like
I excluded cups. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I went back to Ila Vista when I was like
twenty six and I was way too old, which is
kind of weird. I couldn't imagine going to a college
party today.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I couldn't imagine.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
When was the last time you guys played beer pong?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I mean it's been within a year, I'm sure. But
here's the thing we play like we played for sport
in the sense that it's we're not we're not.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
With water.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
We played with water, Yeah, we just well.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We did too, and I haven't played in years. And
I was out with my three brothers from my younger
brother's birthday a couple of weeks ago. I went to
this bar in the valley and they had beer pong,
which obviously in a bar you do with water, and man,
I just I forgot how fun it was. We just
had so much fun, and none of them, like knew
how to play. So I was telling them all the rules.
You know, you fire, you go until you miss, if
(07:55):
you bounce it and you get it in. It was
but then we lost the balls on the second game.
I was like that, guess game's over now.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
When I first moved down to Santa Barbara for school,
went down there to check it out and party for
a weekend and stated my friend from high school's house
and he had a ping pong table and he said,
I'm going to introduce.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You to beer pong, and I'm like, all right, dude.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And what we did back then, this is before beer
pong became what you guys know is beer pong, but
we did. It was ping pong, but on the center line.
You place your paddle until it gets to the end
of the you know, on that hook on the table.
So and then you place a bottle of beer, one
(08:42):
paddle out right in the middle. Yeah, and then you
play ping pong around this beer and if you hit it,
if you hit the beer, you get a point and
the dude has to take a drink of it. As
the beer goes down, the h weight shifts so much
(09:03):
to the bottom that if you hit a good fast
velocities shot, you can knock over the bottle of beer. Yeah,
and we called that two points. And you gotta slam
a beer. That was beer pong and that was fun.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Shit, it's I mean, beer pong is still super fun.
I like for it. And by the way, Matt and
Gary are not here. They couldn't make the show. And
us talking having an episode dedicated to beer pong while
they're not here, it's like us having an Alan Parson's
Avocado show that Dawson. Yes, they're just losing their mind
right now, but it doesn't matter. You're not here, so
(09:40):
we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That'd be like interviewing Rich Robinson and not telling Dawson
about it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Right right right, which I think we did on the
Corolla show. No, you were there, you were there, right,
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
The next day tell me the next day, I'm like,
are you serious? Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah. By the way, somebody tweeted to me today, Hey man,
I'm kicking my Corolla shows. What's going on? Oh no, dude, I.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Like the way you said it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It might have been confusing for a few people, but
I liked it. You said, Uh, if you're not getting
the latest shows and you're asking me, you're way.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Anyway. So uh, yeah, that did happen to us. But anyway,
beer pong, So I love a good game of beer
pong of the house. You know, we play. We play
pretty standard in most places.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We know thoughts that we want to get too in
the weeds with.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You don't you don't And I'm I'm a bouncer, kilan.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Oh the snake telling the snake is a bouncer. Yeah,
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'm the snakiest of the snakiest while playing beer pong.
If I find out there's a death cup, you know, yeah,
I go for the death cup every time.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
The move, which I'm sure you know to time obviously,
when the people are looking away, you know, you go
for the bounce. But the best one is you have
your part do the regular shot and right as they released,
then you go for the bounce at the same time.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I remember my first game of beer that's that's so
that's so cute. Fun of my brothers.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
They had no idea like how to play, so I
taught them about the bounce rule and they were just
amazed at my just pulling off of that move, like
throw all three of them into a tizzy.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Well, my neighbor as a friend who developed who developed
a beer pong game and incorporated the X Men into it.
And so there are cards and stuff and if you
say you make one, you know, you get to shoot again,
and you get a card, you get a superpower that
(11:41):
you can play at some time. And those superpowers are
you know, you could say, the next the next shot
your opponent takes, they have to take it blindfolded or something,
you know, stupid like that. One of the superpowers could
(12:03):
be if you hit a cup, it counts on going
in and you can play these cards as you go along.
And the way this guy, the way this guy set
everything up. Uh, it's It's one of the funnest games
I've ever played. I just like my internet is fucked
up right now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I just love games, So I mean, yeah, darts, cornhole,
beer pong, I'm in. I love any form of competition
whilst hanging out?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Did you ever play? Do you ever play King's Cup?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Of course I played Kings.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Never hear about King's Cup anymore. That was one of
my favorites back in my things.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
The things I've done, the things I've done to a
King's Cup, I can't say publicly. I can't say. I
think you two would not let this video go up
if I told you what I've done to a King's cup.
So I'll just put I'll just miss that one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Did you guys ever ever do a game called cardinal?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Never even heard of it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Cardinal was a drinking game we did in high school.
It you had to follow a pattern and drink and
do a bunch of things, like you had to tap
the table in a certain progression and then take a
shot or something like that. It was a very long,
very detailed, very involved thing, and it could only be
(13:25):
administered by someone who was already a cardinal, meaning that
they passed this drinking test, and you know, you get
people would get all the way and the rule at
the end of it was the rule we had in
high school was if you were a cardinal and someone
asked you if you're a cardinal, the correct and only
(13:49):
acceptable response was you bet your sweet ass, I'm a cardinal.
And if you did not say that when someone asked you, hey,
are you you cardinal? Yeah, dude, I did it last week.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
No you're not. Yeah, revoked, you got to get back
up to the table again. That was a.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That was a sign of alcoholism amongst amongst my seven
sixteen seventeen year old friends.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's young. I didn't start drinking until I was twenty one.
I played by the rules, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I was actually close to no. I was maybe like
maybe like nineteen, but still maybe nineteen or twenty, probably nineteen.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I found out when I was fifteen years old that
if you go to the Berkeley Square and you help
the band load in, you just carry a guitar, the
people who run the bar will serve you alcohol.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, we used to sneak into there's this local
venue out here in Long Beach that I've been playing
since I was I don't know, seventeen, sixteen, seventeen, and
the amount of people I don't want to name it.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Caitlyn, they have pizza dude, and they they my friend
John Served does some country Rocket for shows out there lately,
and my friend Bobo Burns plays there every now and then,
and every time I see it, I'm like, oh, yeah, Dpiazzas, Man,
we had fun there.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Those are shows we've we've played there too for Corolla stuff,
but I've been playing.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
There right, We've played there together.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I still have videos on my phone of Loxy at Dpiazzas.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I just listened to an old show I've I played
in high school there because I used to record it
and I found the CD because I've been through all
my old CDs, and yeah, I just sound like a
little kid going, hey, theys are coming appreciate it. Yeah.
So it's definitely hold a special place in my heart.
But the amount, So what they would do, Kalin is
(15:44):
you would get a show there. This was in high
school probably it still the same day. You get put
on a bill. And what's really great is it's not
a pay to play kind of play stas. They just
book you. And however, many people would just go to
the door and say they're there to see you. They
market and you get paid X amount of dollars based
off of the tally they get at the door with.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
A buck up person usually if if, but you have
to pass a threshold.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's nice though. I like that it's low
Steaks and I.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Got to it's low Steaks. Do you want to just play?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
There are places where if you want to play somewhere,
they say you have to sell this X amount of
tickets to play there.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
That's almost every place on the Sunset Strip for the
last twenty years, and.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So you have to hustle, and it sucks and you
just want to play music, but now you have to
be in the hustling business as well. Yeah. So anyway,
the amount of people that we would get in through
the back door because they just slept a gear for us.
I mean, people would be coming in with one half
of a high hat, just like the top high hat,
(16:47):
and just a parade of high school kids just walking
through the back door. And the door guy would just
he looked flummoxed, what how is this place packed right now?
And I'm looking at my tally and there should be
thirteen people.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Here, was there a five dollars cover?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, that's why you do it, because that's why you
didn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yes, you were with the you're losing out on the money.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
We didn't care about the money.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
They don't care. You just want to bunch people.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Man, you want to play a party, We just we
just want to that I play. I play one hundred
people for free, Play one hundred people for free before
you play five people for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I mean back then, No, No, I'm with you, dus.
One of the one of the biggest shows I've ever
played was in Ventura at the Cornhole Festival. It was
like a dream. This is every This is every musician's dream.
By the way, y s Bencha McKenzie's Cornoll Festival.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
So when you when you grow up playing guitar, keel
and you.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Wear the drawer the infamous.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
On the drawer, So we could explain that's right a
little bit too. But when you play guitar, you dream
of this happening. Maybe if you've dreamed of this playing
video games or something, but you're just you get good
enough to where you're comfortable playing in front of people
and somebody runs in just goes. Does anybody here know
how to play the guitar? Our band just canceled and
we need somebody to get out there right now. Well can'len?
(18:17):
I just happened to have my guitar on me. I'm
not scheduled to play Dawson person, does any Chris? Do
you guys have a guitar? The band's going to be late.
We need somebody to get on that stage right now?
Can you do it? And I said sure, remember this,
and I got up and I gotta play like I
got to play three songs and it was electric.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I would not have put you in that position had
I not known that you were going to kill it.
Everything was gonna be awesome. They were gonna fucking love you. Yeah,
you know, I was. I was part of putting that
whole thing together. Last thing I'm gonna do has put
somebody on stage where shit goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Thanks man.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
So I was ae thousand percent confident, but but I
remember that people are.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Like, what, who the fuck is this guy? What what's
going on?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And then halfway through the first song, everyone started going originals.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh okay, yeah man, no covers.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
No covers, just went straight. Yeah, very risky but if
you establish yourself as the Originals guy, then you're fine.
Some people will listen to you. But the only thing
that I regret is or that I felt was unfortunate.
I was wearing these short pink shorts because I thought
we were just partying and hanging out and now to
go up on stage. Oh yeah, way too.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah these short doesn't matter. Nobody fucking cared. Dude.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, I know you're in Ventura, California. It's a soft area.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I just it's just I'm playing and I'm just thinking.
My eyes are up here, guys.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
But Santa Barbara's softer.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Ventura has a level of grit, but it's still a
relatively soft place.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
But so, speaking of games, that was the Cornhole Festival
where I played it with our friend Chris Atkins. Chriss
one Cup was our name. We had shirts with our
faces on it. And I was not good at Cornwall.
I think we were. We had free entry just because
we sponsored. We're part of the sponsor, so we got
to play for free.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
But people we're on we're we're on the barter system.
We brought Mangrea and supplied it for the festival and
allowed them to sell it we got man Grea on
all the posters promotional mentions brought to you by Adam
Coral as man Grea.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
And I feel like this was this was the year
before I was.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I went year number one, but this.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Was still when Cornwall was. It hadn't broken out yet,
so I feel like it was still kind of early
in the Cornwall days. And the dudes at that tournament
could fuck it.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We're good because do you know there wasn't a lot
of corn hole.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You had a tournament.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It was a big tournament.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That tournament that you guys played in is now one
of the top tournaments in the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, I believe that. You see those guys on the
show wearing crocs and just tossing their bags into the holes. Broye,
they but they were, they were probably there. This is
the only this is the only game in the country
for a while.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Here's my only thing with corn hole, dude, here's my
only thing. Well, what's wrong with curling? Can we just
have one sport where beer drinking people can do it?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You know?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I mean we got darts already.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
We got darts, which, by the way, I just learned
how to play and I love. But yeah, I'm with you,
dos I get it. But at the same time, as
I said, I love competition, I love playing pool, I
love yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I think I think I'm more making a joke. I
think I believe that the more competitive sports you can
do drinking sports wise.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I remember, I remember me and Jay would fucking j
Miller would fucking go at it in cornhole. I don't
I don't remember what party Gary was having at his
parents house, but I remember they had the.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Corner we were there. I think it was an engagement party.
I think it might have been.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
An engagement something like that, and he had it at
his house and fucking me and Jay ended up. I
remember screaming at Jay because we were in such a
he did like fucking competition at the corn hole in
the backyard. I was fucking drunk screaming at Jay at
like Gary's engagement party or something.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I remember that. So I remember when we were playing
corn hole at this tournament. The first one, I was good.
I was just starting to get pretty good, feeling pretty good.
But I was a little nervous because I've never played
in competition before. And the the our first matchup, I'm
looking across and I'm seeing just the oldest lady and
(22:56):
the oldest man you've ever you could think of at
the tournament, like to wear in between shots, they had
to sit down under an umbrella.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah, they had to hit the oxygen tank.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah for me, the original pickleball it is.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
It is. And I remember just sizing them up and
looking at Chris, going all right, at least we're going
to get past this first round. We got smoked like
they and it was embarrassing because they would go under
their umbrella and just chill to the put where I'm thinking, like,
I should not let them do this. They're regenerating right now.
(23:32):
We don't get a chance to do that. They should
be out here in the sun with the rest of us.
And yeah, and then I think they went back onto there,
and then afterwards they went back on the train and
Gary didn't let them sit down anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
So and you got you got to play a second game,
like everybody's guaranteed two games, and then you got a
possible chance to get the loser's bracket.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
But if you lose that first game.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
You're like, oh, all right, I guess I'm just.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
To drink now.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
A couple of things. First off, the loser's bracket is
never something you want to be in. You want to
compete for. I'm I'm in a lot of fantasy leagues
and they put me in the loser's bracket, Like, what
are we doing here? You think I'm gonna set my lineup.
I'm going to remove everybody from the lineup right now
in protest because this is ridiculous. I'm not going to
be see.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
That's why when it comes to comedy and music, I
prefer being the opening act, you know, because I just
want to be out early.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I want to be out early.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It does.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Don't worry now, I can drink some beers. But yeah,
now it's a tournament. Wise man, that's a crushing blow
because you lost to Invalids.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yeah, I mean suffering from heat stroke.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I know. I'm rest in peace to both of them now,
I mean there's no way alive.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But oh they died that day. It was it was
abnormally hot.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Sit down on that train that.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Is carry is gonna I'm gonna get a flurry of texts.
What's this airs?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
All?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Oh doss, I was thinking too about your your declaration
that there should only be one game where you can
that you can drink and compete. But I know you're joking,
but I think we need to turn it around and
start putting beers in the hands of most sports and
just let's watch them. Let's watch some people play.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I believe you make you make an interesting point and
and science has taught us that there is a sweet
spot when you're shooting pool, and it's somewhere between three
and six beers where you can fucking make everything well.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I feel like it's like that with a lot of
games too. That's like cornhole. Yeah, the sweet spot.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Me and my friends, you're doing really.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Good, and then you get to like the next game
after you're like eight or ten deep, and you're like fuck.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Me and my friends, my friends from UCSB after college
for about seven years, we would all meet in San
Diego at one of my friend's houses and he married
a chick we went to high school with, so it
was like and we all party. It was like party house.
(26:11):
Here we go, party weekend. We're in our twenties, let's go.
We called it the Tribolt Tournament because it's centered around
a home game at Qualcomm Stadium Chargers one PM, and
we'd have an awards ceremony in the Tailgate parking lot,
(26:35):
and it was called the Tribolt Tournament because we picked
three different drinking sports, three different ones every year. It
was either golf, darts, pool, air hockey, ping pong. I
(26:59):
think one year somebody tried to put ultimate frisbee in
there and that was a shit show. But we stretch
it out over over a Thursday to a Sunday, so
it'd be okay. Day one, we're playing golf, we hit
the links at ten am, and then when we get
(27:19):
home it's a poker tournament and that counted.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
We called poker a sport.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It sounds like my perfect.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
And then there's darts, they're shooting. Pool, ping pong was
always fun. And then at the end of the at
the end of the weekend, we'd give out trophies and
one year I won. One year I won the drinking
sport the games that year, I remember poker, ping pong,
and pool.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Three peas.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
For four rather yeah there's four of.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Them, and uh I had the I kept the trophy
for like ten years. My friend made he had a
trophy company make trophies out of Corona bottles, brilliant, and
I had one. One of those double trophies that had
two cool.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Was there a minimum limit you had to be at
before you entered any of the games, because I feel
like that should be a rule. You need to be
at least this many beers deep before you can even participate.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I understand that. But we were all men of integrity.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Do you still have that these days? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
So I no one, no one needed to be reminded
to drink.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Speaking of integrity, what do you guys think of my
because Dawson brought up pool, my my finishing move and
pool when I am five ish beers in and these
are not Miller extra lights, Klan, these are these could
be Core's banquets.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
That's a rough beer, dude.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I love meant, I do not like the yellow jackets bro.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
In my mouth's water and thinking about it anyway? Or yeah,
or or a few I p as a few, maybe
some payala ales, some s here nevadas. Whatever it is,
the my finishing movement, pool. Let's say I get to it.
It's just me and the eight ball, my cue ball.
I got a clear shot. I look my opponent in
the eyes the whole time, just don't break eye contact,
(29:23):
and I shoot one. I shoot now I will say.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
That's good until it doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, bet it's fifty to fifty cress.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It's no, it's more like twelve eighty eight. Yeah, I
miss it. I miss it more often than not.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
In that case, I love it. In that case, I
love that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I ruin a lot of games especially, and I also
do it in when I'm playing teams. So my partner
is not very happy, But it's my shoot the eight ball,
and I have to end it like that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Do you commit to it? No matter like how clear
the shot is, Well, I really difficul shot, of course,
Fuck I gotta. I still gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
There are few things I do. The difficulty the shot
doesn't talk about integrity. Here they did the difficulty. The
shot doesn't bother me. It could be it. I would
need to bank it twice and I'd still do it.
But it's really just sizing the other guy up, like
would this? Would this guy get physically upset with me
trying this? And if I feel that they're pretty chill,
(30:22):
I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I like it when people say shit like you got
to hit two rails on the eight ball?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I like it, all right, dude, I'm in Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
A fun game that sometimes we'll play is you we
let the opponents call the pocket, and then that's kind
of you have to try to try to finagle it
that way.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I would like to have a bar table. I can't.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I can't fit a regular pool table in this place,
but I would love to have a bar table.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Imagine imagine us playing that. Your opponent calls the pocket
and the game takes thirty minutes longer, and their guys
just waiting to play pool. Yeah, I mean that sucks.
You gotta you gotta watch out for that. I'm just saying,
don't do it if there are a lot of people waiting.
But man, I said, we got it. Let's go to
a bar. Guys, it's been too long. Let's go to
a bar with some games.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Chris.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Do you remember a guy named James who represented Peev
that we met at NAM James. I had him in
my phone as James Peevy, but he's not named peev
It's just James.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I remember pp I remember named Josh. Are you thinking
of Josh?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
This guy reached out to me. This guy reached out
to me on my old number. Hey, dude, it's it's
James from PEV. I noticed your boss is playing in
my town. I was wondering, if you're.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Gonna be around that's nice? And it was on my old.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Number and the like I go look at that every
now and then, and I was like half of me
was thinking, I hope this is not one of the
higher ups in the PEV.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
But anyway, he lives in Long Beach, so uh.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I told him you were out there and you haven't
a shout to whatever.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
We're gonna go have some drinks with James from PEV,
who's no longer with PEV.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, good, because I wouldn't be allowed to drinks with them, you.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Know, for competing company exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I'm kidding. All right, Look, we got a we got
a lot of stuff to get into. First off. Actually, yeah,
let's let's let's do some comments real quick, all right.
And these are comments delivered to us by you, the people,
the listeners. And before I get to them, I would
(32:49):
like to address the elephant in the room. We haven't
discussed it.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
It's in the other room.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
We haven't No, it's in this it's in this room.
We haven't discussed it yet. And I think we owe
it to our audience to explain. So, Kitlen, you said
you returned your PlayStation.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Uh So a big giant update just came out for
Hell Divers two. Yes, oh my gosh, and I knew
it was coming, and I knew I had to bust
out the PlayStation and it did and it was glorious.
It was fantastic. I was able to play it for
a few hours yesterday. And not only that, there's supposedly
another huge update coming out this Tuesday, so back to
(33:32):
back updates weeks, and I was like, if I have
this fucking PlayStation in my house, after this big update
just dropped, There's like a new faction in the game.
They released, like new enemies, there's a new weapons customization system.
I mean, I could get into it forever, but they
I was like, I'm gonna play this all week long
and then the updates can come out next week, and
I'm gonna play it all week that week. And I
(33:52):
got fucking work to do and I have kids to
take care of.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
You know, Usually people try to go two weeks. Usually
people try to go too weeks without the vice. You're
going two weeks with the Vice?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
No, no, no, no, I went.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I went one day with the vice. Well, I mean
I already had it at home, but again it was
new things come out and then it makes you want
to play. So I played it for the day and
then as painful as it was, because it is painful,
because I want I want to be continuing my vice
all through this week and all through next week as well.
But I said, no, no, you have to be a
good boy. You have to throw it into storage and
(34:25):
you have to wait at least two weeks until you
can take that bitch back out because it will consume
my life if.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Well, which is know thyself.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, that's impressive. That actually that discipline is impressive to me.
I mean there there are things I would have on
my phone. I would hide the social media apps. I
would put uh you know, a lock on things that
I didn't I didn't want to do because so I
could be more productive and I would just bypass it.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
You were not successful.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I am like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I just told me about that. Roles like, I think
I'm looking at social media too. She's like, this is
what you gotta do, the very hagier phone, so you
don't want to scroll over it to get that did
not make us fucking any difference. It only made me
feel a little bit bad every time I fucking scrolled
over there.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah there's there's a scroll of shame.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, but just now my finger's just super buff because
I have to I have to do that motion a
lot more now. So, yeah, it didn't work. I don't
have that kind of self control to where I could
just get a little taste and get out.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Kaitlin Amy was like she was because she always makes
fun of me for it to always taking it in
and out of store. She's like, why don't you just
put it in the garage?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I was like, it's work to close.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It's yeah, went to close.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
You're not gonna like what you see.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I need to drive at least two miles to my
fucking destination and go through a systems of fucking locks
and keys and storage doors.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I wouldn't even go two miles to get food.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
So I'll go, fucking I'll take a drive for some food.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I won't. It has to be, it has to be close.
I'm getting too old, Kalin. It's just I won't do
it anymore. All right, Look comments and there's also another
elephant in the room that we must address. And I
haven't brought it up yet. So here we go. HBO
is going to HBO Max now Max, from Max to
HBO Max.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
I never like Max, never name recognition branding. HBO is
the original, it's the og.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
It makes sense they should have never left.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah, okay, but why do they keep fucking up their
own name like everyone else has it down? Remember before Max,
there was like three different HBO apps, and you would
always there was like HBO Max Now Now and then
just HBO and you would always fuck up which one
you were trying to go to. And it was like
that forever. Then they went to Max. Fucking HBO. Get
your ship together, dude.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I know their programming is phenomenal, but.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Don't get me started on the last of US season
two either.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I haven't watched any of it and I don't think
I will.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
It's it's I have I dropped after two episodes, you
could say, or I could say that I dropped when
they killed the main dude.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Spoiler alert, God, I hope Madison. Well, you know, hey,
for entering your own risk, enter your own risk.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Everyone everyone knows the steaks you rolled the dice well.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
As someone who played the game. I mean I knew
that was coming, and still I have a lot of
thoughts on this new season, and it had already happened.
I'm not as stoked as I was on the first season.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Well, it's just pretty, it's pretty apparent that how do
I put this lightly? Don't lesbians are really good?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
You should and fighting me undead.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Or whatever they are.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
And people yeah them. Yeah, there's actually a trans character
in it too, pretty.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
I knew that episode three here they in episode three.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
God.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
The other is no, I I haven't haven't brought them
into the show yet.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna take this time now to
just speak to Matt and Grey listening independently to this.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I feel a duty to text Matt not to listen
to this.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
No, I was actually just gonna do it, like I
have to.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Just dropped two fucking spoilers for him, Dawson with the
show and then me with the game. I have to
tell him not to listen to episode I'm sorry, Matt,
just as soon as we get into comments turned that
bitch off.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Well anyway, that I haven't watched any of it. It
just felt I watched The Walking Dead too long hoping
it would get better, hoping for the magic that was
season one and maybe the beginning of season two.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Dude, Walking Dead season two was phenomenal, great. Walking Dead
Season two is fantastic, even three. When they get to
the prison, was still holding up. That's when it starts
to fucking plateau. And then you keep going until they
get out of the prison, and then that's when it
starts on the decline. This where's this is season two
of fucking the Last of Us?
Speaker 1 (39:11):
And that can we just say if we're gonna get
talk a little bit in the weeds of TV shows,
I'm now seeing a new Walking Dead show where two
characters what are they doing together? Like, how is this happening?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I think there's four different Walking Dead shows. I don't
I know. There's a Darryl Dixon spin off. There's the
Andrew Lincoln spin off.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Oh he's back, Yeah, he left.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
With Michelle and now he's back with michewe and another
spin off. Then there's the Nagan spin off with that's
the one girls.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
That's the one I'm confused about.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And then I think there's Fear of the walk I
don't even know if there's there's so many spinoffs of
that show.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It's like, who's still watching that. I don't get it.
Who's the audience?
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I don't know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
You gotta like, I don't know it. It's probably teenagers
who didn't really enjoy the first season. This is kind
of new to them, like the first rendition of it.
I feel like there's just a younger crowd that I'm
just no longer touch in touch with.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, I don't know who's watching that.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yeah, I they.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Just they just actually tried to watch the one, to
be honest, and it's just like the other ones to
turn it off for like two or three episodes.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Maybe I'm just getting over zombies. Then with the Last
of Us, it just didn't interest me to watch the
Disney season. I liked the first season, but maybe I
was waiting to hear good things and I haven't see.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
That's why I'm glad that Heath Ledger's dead. Okay A
hot take, you know, because he went out on top.
He played the joke greap, it was awesome, boom out.
No one ever talks about that. He blew a cowboy
on the big screen.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Now people still talk about that. I mean, that's a
pretty pivotal role.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
He was the top in the joke as well. I
think that helps him a little bit.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yea, So he went out on top of both of
both movies. All right. So now let's let's go back
to the comments. I want to read one off of
our Facebook group. There was Okay, I was joking around.
There is some controversy which I want to address in
the Patreon episode this week. So because it happened in patreons,
if you want to hear, you gotta subscribe.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I told you Patreons are lit.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
It's it's weird.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
I will say this. I stayed away from Facebook this week.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Oh, because of because of the controversy.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
It'll be addressed on the Patreon show it.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
See that's that's a nice teaser there, all right. So
let's let's get into some some comments though, because and
then uh and Kilen actually has a flicking this episode.
I want to hit real quick too. So Sharon Severson
speaking of movies.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Severson, and I know that because my boss at both
the two thousand and two Olympic Winter Games and the
twenty ten Olympic Winter Games was former ski jumper for
the US team, Chris Severson.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Same spelling. Continue.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Okay, So Sharene Severson says, Okay, I watched The Dark
Night six times this month. Okay, I'm just gonna pause there,
Sharon Bravo and I'm jealous. Dark Nights six times.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
I'm gonna guess that the over under on the amount
of times Severson has seen The Dark Knight lays around.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Two six times this month.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Six times this month is an awful lot for someone
who has seen the movie twenty times.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
If you have cables, I would I've done more if
it's on.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
If it's on cable, that's a whole other question. But
if you're actively seeking it out.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Even still, sometimes I just put it on just to
maybe not Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
That's background music. It's just background exactly. It's a back
comfort food being on.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Dude. The actual music is fucking the best background music ever.
Whatever you're doing, I feel like the most epic thing
in the world, you'll be writing the most badass email
you've ever.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Wow, I was wondering why your emails were all on caps.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
And then she says she watched The Dark Night Rises
three times this month. Yeah, and Batman Begins two times
this month. So for those who are doing the math,
which around that is eleven times sharing a sat down
and watched a Christopher Nolan Batman movie.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
Respect.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah that's all. We're just good for you.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Respect.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
She ends with Kaitlin, I need you to flick the menu.
Don't look it up, just watch it. It just left
Netflix and went to Prime. I have Yeah, I think
you have those because it was on HBO go.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Back in the day, right when it and when it
first started streaming. It's yeah, I had a hop from
here on HBO. I definitely flicked that. I don't remember
what I scored it, but it was flickable. I enjoyed
that movie quite a bit. Just always so good.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
So please I like his brother Ralph.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Look, I'm with you, dots. I thought there are two
different people for far too long. It's like and I
thought I knew which how that one's the older one. Oh,
that's definitely the younger one. When I see a different movement,
I just knew.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I think I got burned on that. I might have
even gotten burned on that during the menu flicking that
I did. That might have been the movie where Matt
told me the proper like explained, Rafe finds to me
and I that Ralph finds this movie.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, go back and listen to that chair or maybe
mattal Cutter this how Your Mind Me? But I think
that was the episode where we found out that Rave
and Ralph are the same guy. All right, let's see here.
Jacob Morales says, I'm listening to old speaking of this
is how your Mind Me is. I'm listening to old
episodes on speaker and sometimes Dawson talks about the different
soups he makes. Could Dawson provide some recipes and I'm
(45:00):
looking at de Caldo.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Yes, of course, But can we talk about how now?
I have that Nickelback song in my head. It never
fails any time I was thinking a different story.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
By the way, nickel before. The hate on Nickelback is
it's cringe. As the kids who watch dude, I like it.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
I like that this is cringe. And then that's like
the one piece of music where everyone can hate on it.
I'd be like, dude is missing out if you can't
enjoy the Nickelback like.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
It's it's it's just it's an easy, easy target. It's
low hanging fruit. Now Here's that it's funny to bag
on them.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
It all goes back to hunter s Thompson.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
The music industry is a shallow trench filled with murders, liars,
and thieves or something like that, and then it also
has a negative side. The thing about the thing about
Nickelback was these guys did something on their own. They
(46:07):
did it great, and everyone fucking hated them for it.
They were all over every radio station. We basically got
nickelbacked out. I used to write an article for Snowboarder
magazine and I took one of the very first swipes
at Nickelback.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
I said, uh, I said, so so you.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
I wrote an article on the ten best metal albums
for starters, and I said, you know, did you you know,
go to the record stom. We're sold on something that uh,
you know didn't stand. This the test of your CD
player back when they were CDs. You want your Nickelback.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
That was my That was my subtle burn. So I was.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
I I think I was as the first to hate Nickelback,
and I, uh, I'm not gonna say I'm gonna listen
to that whole look at this photograph song anytime soon. Uh,
but I got major respect and I really fucking like
(47:22):
the songs. But still dude songs, Yeah, yeah, seven Mary
three was a better band, was.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Married to Avril, He's Canadian royalty.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
I think it was his curly hair. Man.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
I think that's why people didn't like Nickelback, because that
dude had some fucked up hair.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
We don't like people with curly hair, I guess. But yeah,
it's just too easy to hate on him. And I
don't know, I just I don't think it's deserving. Why
everyone thinks they could dunk on Nickelback when they're one
of the top selling bands of all time so fine compared.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
They made so much much money.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
They made so much money in a stretch of like
four years.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
It's just based on royalties.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
I bet they're still fucking making money. I bet they're
oh yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yeah, but what we played was just a parody, so
we don't we don't know, did okay? Uh that wasn't
the real?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Hi hie. And then all the way you know, everyone
just turned it off with there any new listener that
we had Klein off that exchange just decided to move on.
Come on, we lost him, doesn't matter, dude, can't get
him back. They went to somewhere, they went somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well they're mean, they're missing out, They're missing out. So
you know, I feel bad for those people.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Honestly, if you could tell them one thing, if you
were able to reach out, how do you get him back?
Right now? Get him back for us?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
This is a great show. It's it's a lot of fun.
It's a lot of fun. Looy goosey and uh yeah,
now I thought you I thought you were gonna ask
me you know what I was up to, And I'm like, oh,
not much. Then you go okay, great, yeah, good, no
content today. I was gonna go, I'm a little sad actually,
and then you're gonna say why I had to take
(01:25):
the PlayStation back to storage again.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, we're gon we are going to get hearing about
I am actually just really infinitive your impression of me
just now. I totally like that pretty good? Right, that
is insulting, all right, and then all the way and no,
ho c a, it's mister Mike Johnson.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's all right, Hey, I got some news I don't
I don't drink anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Then it takes to get absolutely black outcome.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
See. But here's the thing, Dawson. Now, any others who
liked it, they just turned it off after you said more.
They didn't hear the second point. We're losing people. Guys.
You keep them on the show isn't important.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Wait, you gotta wait it out. You gotta see what
song they play next.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Come on, well, you know, I will say this. What
you really want to hear is the Patreon episodes, because
that's the additional episode we do every week where things
get real loosey goosey and uhh, I think they're probably
going to get pretty duy goosy for me again tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm just drinking claws again. That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He's drinking clause. Well, here's the thing, and that's any
listener that we had now just turned u off because like,
oh wow, going to an ad in what forty five seconds? Little,
it's an ad, it's a teaser, it's a teas. I
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I like the clause.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
If I'm like having like a boys bachelor party weekend
or something and you're pretty much forced to drink the
entire weekend, there's nothing easier than drinking a white claw
when you're hung over. It's a really good vehicle to
get you back in the action. I prefer the cus
(03:02):
because this is almost Mormon beer.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I get too full off beer. That's my problem. Too much,
too much beer, and it's just going right to the tummy,
and uh yeah, I like the claws are there later.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Well. The other thing too, The other thing too, is
if like because then I'm blacking out.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I was talking to my friend Rob Lewis, who was
the Greenberry combat medic right and when when they were
on duty, when they were on tour, but they were
you know, off duty, but you always had to be
on duty. They were allowed to drink two beers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, what's the point.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Well, if you drink too heavy I p as or
two Sierra Nevadas, it's going to do you a lot
better than drinking two cores lights. So the white claw
in that case, because it's got a greater.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Alcohol they have a lot of in Afghanistan.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
No, they were in Germany at the time.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, they had to climb. They had to climb to
a base at the top of a mountain, and then
when they got out there there's a small little pub
like an Alpine bar sitting on top of the mountain
in the Alps. I guess Germany and Switzerland border, and
(04:25):
then Switzerland and Italy border, right, it's that whole Alps area,
Am I correct?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I think as you were talking about climbing up and
having this thing at the top of a mountain, all
I could think about is Band of Brothers in the
last episode where they go up to a fucking like
Hitler's fucking house or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I'm that's the worst name for a bed and breakfast.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Ever, I'm more just interested in Dawson asking Kaitlin geography questions, sincerely,
I try.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I looked at it in.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
A fucking humiliating moment.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Again.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I was watching I was flipping channels the other night
and a show said mighty cruise ships. And I'm like,
all right, dude, I'll check out mighty cruise ships. I've
been on a few. Let's see what's up. Well, they
had this one Dutch Holland cruise ship that left out
(05:19):
of Amsterdam and went into the North Sea. And I
really had no idea how far north Finland and Sweden
and those countries are. They're like basically sitting in the
Arctic Circle. And if somebody had asked me before I
saw this mighty cruise ship thing point out Sweden on
(05:41):
a map, not a chance.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'd have a one. I'd have a one in three
chance of getting that one. Oh, because there's the three
of them right all next to each other.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Oh wait, Sweden and Finland are pretty much next to each.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Other, and Norway's the other one, right okay, and they're
also I got a one in three chance.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Again, it's pretty good, dude. That's better than I could do.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, I would. I would bet that in Vegas easily.
By the way, cal if you're looking for a light beer.
I just had a really light beer, Miller Extra Light.
That's yeah. They came out with a Miller Extra Light,
so it's so like you, yeah, you could see through
the can. Now, it's if if cores light is a
(06:24):
C minus. This is this is a scene after class.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's good. But I loved it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's very it's sessionable. I think it's a lighter ABV
as well, but it's only like sixty something calories a
can too. It's like, yeah, real lightweight. So if you
see some Miller Extra Light track, kil let me know what.
You don't feel bloated and uh you can just pound them? Yeah, yeah,
good shotgunning stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I still, you know, I'm still a big fan of
the natural light. I don't see it that often though.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Just go to a college party, yeah, I feel like
I excluded cups. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I went back to Ila Vista when I was like
twenty six and I was way too old, which is
kind of weird. I couldn't imagine going to a college
party today.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I couldn't imagine.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
When was the last time you guys played beer pong?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I mean it's been within a year, I'm sure. But
here's the thing we play like we played for sport
in the sense that it's we're not we're not.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
With water.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
We played with water, Yeah, we just well.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We did too, and I haven't played in years. And
I was out with my three brothers from my younger
brother's birthday a couple of weeks ago. I went to
this bar in the valley and they had beer pong,
which obviously in a bar you do with water, and man,
I just I forgot how fun it was. We just
had so much fun, and none of them, like knew
how to play. So I was telling them all the rules.
You know, you fire, you go until you miss, if
(07:55):
you bounce it and you get it in. It was
but then we lost the balls on the second game.
I was like that, guess game's over now.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
When I first moved down to Santa Barbara for school,
went down there to check it out and party for
a weekend and stated my friend from high school's house
and he had a ping pong table and he said,
I'm going to introduce.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You to beer pong, and I'm like, all right, dude.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And what we did back then, this is before beer
pong became what you guys know is beer pong, but
we did. It was ping pong, but on the center line.
You place your paddle until it gets to the end
of the you know, on that hook on the table.
So and then you place a bottle of beer, one
(08:42):
paddle out right in the middle. Yeah, and then you
play ping pong around this beer and if you hit it,
if you hit the beer, you get a point and
the dude has to take a drink of it. As
the beer goes down, the h weight shifts so much
(09:03):
to the bottom that if you hit a good fast
velocities shot, you can knock over the bottle of beer. Yeah,
and we called that two points. And you gotta slam
a beer. That was beer pong and that was fun.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Shit, it's I mean, beer pong is still super fun.
I like for it. And by the way, Matt and
Gary are not here. They couldn't make the show. And
us talking having an episode dedicated to beer pong while
they're not here, it's like us having an Alan Parson's
Avocado show that Dawson. Yes, they're just losing their mind
right now, but it doesn't matter. You're not here, so
(09:40):
we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That'd be like interviewing Rich Robinson and not telling Dawson
about it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Right right right, which I think we did on the
Corolla show. No, you were there, you were there, right,
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
The next day tell me the next day, I'm like,
are you serious? Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah. By the way, somebody tweeted to me today, Hey man,
I'm kicking my Corolla shows. What's going on? Oh no, dude, I.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Like the way you said it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It might have been confusing for a few people, but
I liked it. You said, Uh, if you're not getting
the latest shows and you're asking me, you're way.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Anyway. So uh, yeah, that did happen to us. But anyway,
beer pong, So I love a good game of beer
pong of the house. You know, we play. We play
pretty standard in most places.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We know thoughts that we want to get too in
the weeds with.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You don't you don't And I'm I'm a bouncer, kilan.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Oh the snake telling the snake is a bouncer. Yeah,
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'm the snakiest of the snakiest while playing beer pong.
If I find out there's a death cup, you know, yeah,
I go for the death cup every time.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
The move, which I'm sure you know to time obviously,
when the people are looking away, you know, you go
for the bounce. But the best one is you have
your part do the regular shot and right as they released,
then you go for the bounce at the same time.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I remember my first game of beer that's that's so
that's so cute. Fun of my brothers.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
They had no idea like how to play, so I
taught them about the bounce rule and they were just
amazed at my just pulling off of that move, like
throw all three of them into a tizzy.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Well, my neighbor as a friend who developed who developed
a beer pong game and incorporated the X Men into it.
And so there are cards and stuff and if you
say you make one, you know, you get to shoot again,
and you get a card, you get a superpower that
(11:41):
you can play at some time. And those superpowers are
you know, you could say, the next the next shot
your opponent takes, they have to take it blindfolded or something,
you know, stupid like that. One of the superpowers could
(12:03):
be if you hit a cup, it counts on going
in and you can play these cards as you go along.
And the way this guy, the way this guy set
everything up. Uh, it's It's one of the funnest games
I've ever played. I just like my internet is fucked
up right now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I just love games, So I mean, yeah, darts, cornhole,
beer pong, I'm in. I love any form of competition
whilst hanging out?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Did you ever play? Do you ever play King's Cup?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Of course I played Kings.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Never hear about King's Cup anymore. That was one of
my favorites back in my things.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
The things I've done, the things I've done to a
King's Cup, I can't say publicly. I can't say. I
think you two would not let this video go up
if I told you what I've done to a King's cup.
So I'll just put I'll just miss that one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Did you guys ever ever do a game called cardinal?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Never even heard of it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Cardinal was a drinking game we did in high school.
It you had to follow a pattern and drink and
do a bunch of things, like you had to tap
the table in a certain progression and then take a
shot or something like that. It was a very long,
very detailed, very involved thing, and it could only be
(13:25):
administered by someone who was already a cardinal, meaning that
they passed this drinking test, and you know, you get
people would get all the way and the rule at
the end of it was the rule we had in
high school was if you were a cardinal and someone
asked you if you're a cardinal, the correct and only
(13:49):
acceptable response was you bet your sweet ass, I'm a cardinal.
And if you did not say that when someone asked you, hey,
are you you cardinal? Yeah, dude, I did it last week.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
No you're not. Yeah, revoked, you got to get back
up to the table again. That was a.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That was a sign of alcoholism amongst amongst my seven
sixteen seventeen year old friends.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's young. I didn't start drinking until I was twenty one.
I played by the rules, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I was actually close to no. I was maybe like
maybe like nineteen, but still maybe nineteen or twenty, probably nineteen.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I found out when I was fifteen years old that
if you go to the Berkeley Square and you help
the band load in, you just carry a guitar, the
people who run the bar will serve you alcohol.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, we used to sneak into there's this local
venue out here in Long Beach that I've been playing
since I was I don't know, seventeen, sixteen, seventeen, and
the amount of people I don't want to name it.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Caitlyn, they have pizza dude, and they they my friend
John Served does some country Rocket for shows out there lately,
and my friend Bobo Burns plays there every now and then,
and every time I see it, I'm like, oh, yeah, Dpiazzas, Man,
we had fun there.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Those are shows we've we've played there too for Corolla stuff,
but I've been playing.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
There right, We've played there together.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I still have videos on my phone of Loxy at Dpiazzas.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I just listened to an old show I've I played
in high school there because I used to record it
and I found the CD because I've been through all
my old CDs, and yeah, I just sound like a
little kid going, hey, theys are coming appreciate it. Yeah.
So it's definitely hold a special place in my heart.
But the amount, So what they would do, Kalin is
(15:44):
you would get a show there. This was in high
school probably it still the same day. You get put
on a bill. And what's really great is it's not
a pay to play kind of play stas. They just
book you. And however, many people would just go to
the door and say they're there to see you. They
market and you get paid X amount of dollars based
off of the tally they get at the door with.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
A buck up person usually if if, but you have
to pass a threshold.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's nice though. I like that it's low
Steaks and I.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Got to it's low Steaks. Do you want to just play?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
There are places where if you want to play somewhere,
they say you have to sell this X amount of
tickets to play there.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
That's almost every place on the Sunset Strip for the
last twenty years, and.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So you have to hustle, and it sucks and you
just want to play music, but now you have to
be in the hustling business as well. Yeah. So anyway,
the amount of people that we would get in through
the back door because they just slept a gear for us.
I mean, people would be coming in with one half
of a high hat, just like the top high hat,
(16:47):
and just a parade of high school kids just walking
through the back door. And the door guy would just
he looked flummoxed, what how is this place packed right now?
And I'm looking at my tally and there should be
thirteen people.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Here, was there a five dollars cover?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, that's why you do it, because that's why you
didn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yes, you were with the you're losing out on the money.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
We didn't care about the money.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
They don't care. You just want to bunch people.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Man, you want to play a party, We just we
just want to that I play. I play one hundred
people for free, Play one hundred people for free before
you play five people for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I mean back then, No, No, I'm with you, dus.
One of the one of the biggest shows I've ever
played was in Ventura at the Cornhole Festival. It was
like a dream. This is every This is every musician's dream.
By the way, y s Bencha McKenzie's Cornoll Festival.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
So when you when you grow up playing guitar, keel
and you.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Wear the drawer the infamous.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
On the drawer, So we could explain that's right a
little bit too. But when you play guitar, you dream
of this happening. Maybe if you've dreamed of this playing
video games or something, but you're just you get good
enough to where you're comfortable playing in front of people
and somebody runs in just goes. Does anybody here know
how to play the guitar? Our band just canceled and
we need somebody to get out there right now. Well can'len?
(18:17):
I just happened to have my guitar on me. I'm
not scheduled to play Dawson person, does any Chris? Do
you guys have a guitar? The band's going to be late.
We need somebody to get on that stage right now?
Can you do it? And I said sure, remember this,
and I got up and I gotta play like I
got to play three songs and it was electric.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I would not have put you in that position had
I not known that you were going to kill it.
Everything was gonna be awesome. They were gonna fucking love you. Yeah,
you know, I was. I was part of putting that
whole thing together. Last thing I'm gonna do has put
somebody on stage where shit goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Thanks man.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
So I was ae thousand percent confident, but but I
remember that people are.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Like, what, who the fuck is this guy? What what's
going on?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And then halfway through the first song, everyone started going originals.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh okay, yeah man, no covers.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
No covers, just went straight. Yeah, very risky but if
you establish yourself as the Originals guy, then you're fine.
Some people will listen to you. But the only thing
that I regret is or that I felt was unfortunate.
I was wearing these short pink shorts because I thought
we were just partying and hanging out and now to
go up on stage. Oh yeah, way too.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah these short doesn't matter. Nobody fucking cared. Dude.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, I know you're in Ventura, California. It's a soft area.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I just it's just I'm playing and I'm just thinking.
My eyes are up here, guys.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
But Santa Barbara's softer.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Ventura has a level of grit, but it's still a
relatively soft place.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
But so, speaking of games, that was the Cornhole Festival
where I played it with our friend Chris Atkins. Chriss
one Cup was our name. We had shirts with our
faces on it. And I was not good at Cornwall.
I think we were. We had free entry just because
we sponsored. We're part of the sponsor, so we got
to play for free.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
But people we're on we're we're on the barter system.
We brought Mangrea and supplied it for the festival and
allowed them to sell it we got man Grea on
all the posters promotional mentions brought to you by Adam
Coral as man Grea.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
And I feel like this was this was the year
before I was.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I went year number one, but this.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Was still when Cornwall was. It hadn't broken out yet,
so I feel like it was still kind of early
in the Cornwall days. And the dudes at that tournament
could fuck it.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We're good because do you know there wasn't a lot
of corn hole.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You had a tournament.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It was a big tournament.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That tournament that you guys played in is now one
of the top tournaments in the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, I believe that. You see those guys on the
show wearing crocs and just tossing their bags into the holes. Broye,
they but they were, they were probably there. This is
the only this is the only game in the country
for a while.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Here's my only thing with corn hole, dude, here's my
only thing. Well, what's wrong with curling? Can we just
have one sport where beer drinking people can do it?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You know?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I mean we got darts already.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
We got darts, which, by the way, I just learned
how to play and I love. But yeah, I'm with you,
dos I get it. But at the same time, as
I said, I love competition, I love playing pool, I
love yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I think I think I'm more making a joke. I
think I believe that the more competitive sports you can
do drinking sports wise.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I remember, I remember me and Jay would fucking j
Miller would fucking go at it in cornhole. I don't
I don't remember what party Gary was having at his
parents house, but I remember they had the.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Corner we were there. I think it was an engagement party.
I think it might have been.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
An engagement something like that, and he had it at
his house and fucking me and Jay ended up. I
remember screaming at Jay because we were in such a
he did like fucking competition at the corn hole in
the backyard. I was fucking drunk screaming at Jay at
like Gary's engagement party or something.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I remember that. So I remember when we were playing
corn hole at this tournament. The first one, I was good.
I was just starting to get pretty good, feeling pretty good.
But I was a little nervous because I've never played
in competition before. And the the our first matchup, I'm
looking across and I'm seeing just the oldest lady and
(22:56):
the oldest man you've ever you could think of at
the tournament, like to wear in between shots, they had
to sit down under an umbrella.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah, they had to hit the oxygen tank.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah for me, the original pickleball it is.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
It is. And I remember just sizing them up and
looking at Chris, going all right, at least we're going
to get past this first round. We got smoked like
they and it was embarrassing because they would go under
their umbrella and just chill to the put where I'm thinking, like,
I should not let them do this. They're regenerating right now.
(23:32):
We don't get a chance to do that. They should
be out here in the sun with the rest of us.
And yeah, and then I think they went back onto there,
and then afterwards they went back on the train and
Gary didn't let them sit down anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
So and you got you got to play a second game,
like everybody's guaranteed two games, and then you got a
possible chance to get the loser's bracket.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
But if you lose that first game.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
You're like, oh, all right, I guess I'm just.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
To drink now.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
A couple of things. First off, the loser's bracket is
never something you want to be in. You want to
compete for. I'm I'm in a lot of fantasy leagues
and they put me in the loser's bracket, Like, what
are we doing here? You think I'm gonna set my lineup.
I'm going to remove everybody from the lineup right now
in protest because this is ridiculous. I'm not going to
be see.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
That's why when it comes to comedy and music, I
prefer being the opening act, you know, because I just
want to be out early.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I want to be out early.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It does.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Don't worry now, I can drink some beers. But yeah,
now it's a tournament. Wise man, that's a crushing blow
because you lost to Invalids.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yeah, I mean suffering from heat stroke.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I know. I'm rest in peace to both of them now,
I mean there's no way alive.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But oh they died that day. It was it was
abnormally hot.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Sit down on that train that.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Is carry is gonna I'm gonna get a flurry of texts.
What's this airs?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
All?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Oh doss, I was thinking too about your your declaration
that there should only be one game where you can
that you can drink and compete. But I know you're joking,
but I think we need to turn it around and
start putting beers in the hands of most sports and
just let's watch them. Let's watch some people play.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I believe you make you make an interesting point and
and science has taught us that there is a sweet
spot when you're shooting pool, and it's somewhere between three
and six beers where you can fucking make everything well.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I feel like it's like that with a lot of
games too. That's like cornhole. Yeah, the sweet spot.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Me and my friends, you're doing really.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Good, and then you get to like the next game
after you're like eight or ten deep, and you're like fuck.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Me and my friends, my friends from UCSB after college
for about seven years, we would all meet in San
Diego at one of my friend's houses and he married
a chick we went to high school with, so it
was like and we all party. It was like party house.
(26:11):
Here we go, party weekend. We're in our twenties, let's go.
We called it the Tribolt Tournament because it's centered around
a home game at Qualcomm Stadium Chargers one PM, and
we'd have an awards ceremony in the Tailgate parking lot,
(26:35):
and it was called the Tribolt Tournament because we picked
three different drinking sports, three different ones every year. It
was either golf, darts, pool, air hockey, ping pong. I
(26:59):
think one year somebody tried to put ultimate frisbee in
there and that was a shit show. But we stretch
it out over over a Thursday to a Sunday, so
it'd be okay. Day one, we're playing golf, we hit
the links at ten am, and then when we get
(27:19):
home it's a poker tournament and that counted.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
We called poker a sport.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It sounds like my perfect.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
And then there's darts, they're shooting. Pool, ping pong was
always fun. And then at the end of the at
the end of the weekend, we'd give out trophies and
one year I won. One year I won the drinking
sport the games that year, I remember poker, ping pong,
and pool.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Three peas.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
For four rather yeah there's four of.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Them, and uh I had the I kept the trophy
for like ten years. My friend made he had a
trophy company make trophies out of Corona bottles, brilliant, and
I had one. One of those double trophies that had
two cool.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Was there a minimum limit you had to be at
before you entered any of the games, because I feel
like that should be a rule. You need to be
at least this many beers deep before you can even participate.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I understand that. But we were all men of integrity.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Do you still have that these days? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
So I no one, no one needed to be reminded
to drink.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Speaking of integrity, what do you guys think of my
because Dawson brought up pool, my my finishing move and
pool when I am five ish beers in and these
are not Miller extra lights, Klan, these are these could
be Core's banquets.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
That's a rough beer, dude.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I love meant, I do not like the yellow jackets bro.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
In my mouth's water and thinking about it anyway? Or yeah,
or or a few I p as a few, maybe
some payala ales, some s here nevadas. Whatever it is,
the my finishing movement, pool. Let's say I get to it.
It's just me and the eight ball, my cue ball.
I got a clear shot. I look my opponent in
the eyes the whole time, just don't break eye contact,
(29:23):
and I shoot one. I shoot now I will say.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
That's good until it doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, bet it's fifty to fifty cress.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It's no, it's more like twelve eighty eight. Yeah, I
miss it. I miss it more often than not.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
In that case, I love it. In that case, I
love that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I ruin a lot of games especially, and I also
do it in when I'm playing teams. So my partner
is not very happy, But it's my shoot the eight ball,
and I have to end it like that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Do you commit to it? No matter like how clear
the shot is, Well, I really difficul shot, of course,
Fuck I gotta. I still gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
There are few things I do. The difficulty the shot
doesn't talk about integrity. Here they did the difficulty. The
shot doesn't bother me. It could be it. I would
need to bank it twice and I'd still do it.
But it's really just sizing the other guy up, like
would this? Would this guy get physically upset with me
trying this? And if I feel that they're pretty chill,
(30:22):
I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I like it when people say shit like you got
to hit two rails on the eight ball?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I like it, all right, dude, I'm in Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
A fun game that sometimes we'll play is you we
let the opponents call the pocket, and then that's kind
of you have to try to try to finagle it
that way.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I would like to have a bar table. I can't.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I can't fit a regular pool table in this place,
but I would love to have a bar table.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Imagine imagine us playing that. Your opponent calls the pocket
and the game takes thirty minutes longer, and their guys
just waiting to play pool. Yeah, I mean that sucks.
You gotta you gotta watch out for that. I'm just saying,
don't do it if there are a lot of people waiting.
But man, I said, we got it. Let's go to
a bar. Guys, it's been too long. Let's go to
a bar with some games.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Chris.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Do you remember a guy named James who represented Peev
that we met at NAM James. I had him in
my phone as James Peevy, but he's not named peev
It's just James.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I remember pp I remember named Josh. Are you thinking
of Josh?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
This guy reached out to me. This guy reached out
to me on my old number. Hey, dude, it's it's
James from PEV. I noticed your boss is playing in
my town. I was wondering, if you're.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Gonna be around that's nice? And it was on my old.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Number and the like I go look at that every
now and then, and I was like half of me
was thinking, I hope this is not one of the
higher ups in the PEV.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
But anyway, he lives in Long Beach, so uh.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I told him you were out there and you haven't
a shout to whatever.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
We're gonna go have some drinks with James from PEV,
who's no longer with PEV.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, good, because I wouldn't be allowed to drinks with them, you.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Know, for competing company exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I'm kidding. All right, Look, we got a we got
a lot of stuff to get into. First off. Actually, yeah,
let's let's let's do some comments real quick, all right.
And these are comments delivered to us by you, the people,
the listeners. And before I get to them, I would
(32:49):
like to address the elephant in the room. We haven't
discussed it.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
It's in the other room.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
We haven't No, it's in this it's in this room.
We haven't discussed it yet. And I think we owe
it to our audience to explain. So, Kitlen, you said
you returned your PlayStation.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Uh So a big giant update just came out for
Hell Divers two. Yes, oh my gosh, and I knew
it was coming, and I knew I had to bust
out the PlayStation and it did and it was glorious.
It was fantastic. I was able to play it for
a few hours yesterday. And not only that, there's supposedly
another huge update coming out this Tuesday, so back to
(33:32):
back updates weeks, and I was like, if I have
this fucking PlayStation in my house, after this big update
just dropped, There's like a new faction in the game.
They released, like new enemies, there's a new weapons customization system.
I mean, I could get into it forever, but they
I was like, I'm gonna play this all week long
and then the updates can come out next week, and
I'm gonna play it all week that week. And I
(33:52):
got fucking work to do and I have kids to
take care of.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
You know, Usually people try to go two weeks. Usually
people try to go too weeks without the vice. You're
going two weeks with the Vice?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
No, no, no, no, I went.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I went one day with the vice. Well, I mean
I already had it at home, but again it was
new things come out and then it makes you want
to play. So I played it for the day and
then as painful as it was, because it is painful,
because I want I want to be continuing my vice
all through this week and all through next week as well.
But I said, no, no, you have to be a
good boy. You have to throw it into storage and
(34:25):
you have to wait at least two weeks until you
can take that bitch back out because it will consume
my life if.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Well, which is know thyself.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, that's impressive. That actually that discipline is impressive to me.
I mean there there are things I would have on
my phone. I would hide the social media apps. I
would put uh you know, a lock on things that
I didn't I didn't want to do because so I
could be more productive and I would just bypass it.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
You were not successful.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I am like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I just told me about that. Roles like, I think
I'm looking at social media too. She's like, this is
what you gotta do, the very hagier phone, so you
don't want to scroll over it to get that did
not make us fucking any difference. It only made me
feel a little bit bad every time I fucking scrolled
over there.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah there's there's a scroll of shame.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, but just now my finger's just super buff because
I have to I have to do that motion a
lot more now. So, yeah, it didn't work. I don't
have that kind of self control to where I could
just get a little taste and get out.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Kaitlin Amy was like she was because she always makes
fun of me for it to always taking it in
and out of store. She's like, why don't you just
put it in the garage?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I was like, it's work to close.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It's yeah, went to close.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
You're not gonna like what you see.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I need to drive at least two miles to my
fucking destination and go through a systems of fucking locks
and keys and storage doors.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I wouldn't even go two miles to get food.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
So I'll go, fucking I'll take a drive for some food.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I won't. It has to be, it has to be close.
I'm getting too old, Kalin. It's just I won't do
it anymore. All right, Look comments and there's also another
elephant in the room that we must address. And I
haven't brought it up yet. So here we go. HBO
is going to HBO Max now Max, from Max to
HBO Max.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
I never like Max, never name recognition branding. HBO is
the original, it's the og.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
It makes sense they should have never left.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah, okay, but why do they keep fucking up their
own name like everyone else has it down? Remember before Max,
there was like three different HBO apps, and you would
always there was like HBO Max Now Now and then
just HBO and you would always fuck up which one
you were trying to go to. And it was like
that forever. Then they went to Max. Fucking HBO. Get
your ship together, dude.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I know their programming is phenomenal, but.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Don't get me started on the last of US season
two either.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I haven't watched any of it and I don't think
I will.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
It's it's I have I dropped after two episodes, you
could say, or I could say that I dropped when
they killed the main dude.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Spoiler alert, God, I hope Madison. Well, you know, hey,
for entering your own risk, enter your own risk.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Everyone everyone knows the steaks you rolled the dice well.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
As someone who played the game. I mean I knew
that was coming, and still I have a lot of
thoughts on this new season, and it had already happened.
I'm not as stoked as I was on the first season.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Well, it's just pretty, it's pretty apparent that how do
I put this lightly? Don't lesbians are really good?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
You should and fighting me undead.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Or whatever they are.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
And people yeah them. Yeah, there's actually a trans character
in it too, pretty.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
I knew that episode three here they in episode three.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
God.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
The other is no, I I haven't haven't brought them
into the show yet.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna take this time now to
just speak to Matt and Grey listening independently to this.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I feel a duty to text Matt not to listen
to this.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
No, I was actually just gonna do it, like I
have to.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Just dropped two fucking spoilers for him, Dawson with the
show and then me with the game. I have to
tell him not to listen to episode I'm sorry, Matt,
just as soon as we get into comments turned that
bitch off.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Well anyway, that I haven't watched any of it. It
just felt I watched The Walking Dead too long hoping
it would get better, hoping for the magic that was
season one and maybe the beginning of season two.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Dude, Walking Dead season two was phenomenal, great. Walking Dead
Season two is fantastic, even three. When they get to
the prison, was still holding up. That's when it starts
to fucking plateau. And then you keep going until they
get out of the prison, and then that's when it
starts on the decline. This where's this is season two
of fucking the Last of Us?
Speaker 1 (39:11):
And that can we just say if we're gonna get
talk a little bit in the weeds of TV shows,
I'm now seeing a new Walking Dead show where two
characters what are they doing together? Like, how is this happening?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I think there's four different Walking Dead shows. I don't
I know. There's a Darryl Dixon spin off. There's the
Andrew Lincoln spin off.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Oh he's back, Yeah, he left.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
With Michelle and now he's back with michewe and another
spin off. Then there's the Nagan spin off with that's
the one girls.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
That's the one I'm confused about.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And then I think there's Fear of the walk I
don't even know if there's there's so many spinoffs of
that show.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It's like, who's still watching that. I don't get it.
Who's the audience?
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I don't know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
You gotta like, I don't know it. It's probably teenagers
who didn't really enjoy the first season. This is kind
of new to them, like the first rendition of it.
I feel like there's just a younger crowd that I'm
just no longer touch in touch with.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, I don't know who's watching that.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yeah, I they.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Just they just actually tried to watch the one, to
be honest, and it's just like the other ones to
turn it off for like two or three episodes.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Maybe I'm just getting over zombies. Then with the Last
of Us, it just didn't interest me to watch the
Disney season. I liked the first season, but maybe I
was waiting to hear good things and I haven't see.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
That's why I'm glad that Heath Ledger's dead. Okay A
hot take, you know, because he went out on top.
He played the joke greap, it was awesome, boom out.
No one ever talks about that. He blew a cowboy
on the big screen.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Now people still talk about that. I mean, that's a
pretty pivotal role.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
He was the top in the joke as well. I
think that helps him a little bit.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yea, So he went out on top of both of
both movies. All right. So now let's let's go back
to the comments. I want to read one off of
our Facebook group. There was Okay, I was joking around.
There is some controversy which I want to address in
the Patreon episode this week. So because it happened in patreons,
if you want to hear, you gotta subscribe.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I told you Patreons are lit.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
It's it's weird.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
I will say this. I stayed away from Facebook this week.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Oh, because of because of the controversy.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
It'll be addressed on the Patreon show it.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
See that's that's a nice teaser there, all right. So
let's let's get into some some comments though, because and
then uh and Kilen actually has a flicking this episode.
I want to hit real quick too. So Sharon Severson
speaking of movies.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Severson, and I know that because my boss at both
the two thousand and two Olympic Winter Games and the
twenty ten Olympic Winter Games was former ski jumper for
the US team, Chris Severson.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Same spelling. Continue.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Okay, So Sharene Severson says, Okay, I watched The Dark
Night six times this month. Okay, I'm just gonna pause there,
Sharon Bravo and I'm jealous. Dark Nights six times.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
I'm gonna guess that the over under on the amount
of times Severson has seen The Dark Knight lays around.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Two six times this month.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Six times this month is an awful lot for someone
who has seen the movie twenty times.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
If you have cables, I would I've done more if
it's on.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
If it's on cable, that's a whole other question. But
if you're actively seeking it out.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Even still, sometimes I just put it on just to
maybe not Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
That's background music. It's just background exactly. It's a back
comfort food being on.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Dude. The actual music is fucking the best background music ever.
Whatever you're doing, I feel like the most epic thing
in the world, you'll be writing the most badass email
you've ever.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Wow, I was wondering why your emails were all on caps.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
And then she says she watched The Dark Night Rises
three times this month. Yeah, and Batman Begins two times
this month. So for those who are doing the math,
which around that is eleven times sharing a sat down
and watched a Christopher Nolan Batman movie.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
Respect.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah that's all. We're just good for you.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Respect.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
She ends with Kaitlin, I need you to flick the menu.
Don't look it up, just watch it. It just left
Netflix and went to Prime. I have Yeah, I think
you have those because it was on HBO go.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Back in the day, right when it and when it
first started streaming. It's yeah, I had a hop from
here on HBO. I definitely flicked that. I don't remember
what I scored it, but it was flickable. I enjoyed
that movie quite a bit. Just always so good.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
So please I like his brother Ralph.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Look, I'm with you, dots. I thought there are two
different people for far too long. It's like and I
thought I knew which how that one's the older one. Oh,
that's definitely the younger one. When I see a different movement,
I just knew.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I think I got burned on that. I might have
even gotten burned on that during the menu flicking that
I did. That might have been the movie where Matt
told me the proper like explained, Rafe finds to me
and I that Ralph finds this movie.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, go back and listen to that chair or maybe
mattal Cutter this how Your Mind Me? But I think
that was the episode where we found out that Rave
and Ralph are the same guy. All right, let's see here.
Jacob Morales says, I'm listening to old speaking of this
is how your Mind Me is. I'm listening to old
episodes on speaker and sometimes Dawson talks about the different
soups he makes. Could Dawson provide some recipes and I'm
(45:00):
looking at de Caldo.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Yes, of course, But can we talk about how now?
I have that Nickelback song in my head. It never
fails any time I was thinking a different story.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
By the way, nickel before. The hate on Nickelback is
it's cringe. As the kids who watch dude, I like it.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
I like that this is cringe. And then that's like
the one piece of music where everyone can hate on it.
I'd be like, dude is missing out if you can't
enjoy the Nickelback like.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
It's it's it's just it's an easy, easy target. It's
low hanging fruit. Now Here's that it's funny to bag
on them.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
It all goes back to hunter s Thompson.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
The music industry is a shallow trench filled with murders, liars,
and thieves or something like that, and then it also
has a negative side. The thing about the thing about
Nickelback was these guys did something on their own. They
(46:07):
did it great, and everyone fucking hated them for it.
They were all over every radio station. We basically got
nickelbacked out. I used to write an article for Snowboarder
magazine and I took one of the very first swipes
at Nickelback.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
I said, uh, I said, so so you.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
I wrote an article on the ten best metal albums
for starters, and I said, you know, did you you know,
go to the record stom. We're sold on something that uh,
you know didn't stand. This the test of your CD
player back when they were CDs. You want your Nickelback.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
That was my That was my subtle burn. So I was.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
I I think I was as the first to hate Nickelback,
and I, uh, I'm not gonna say I'm gonna listen
to that whole look at this photograph song anytime soon. Uh,
but I got major respect and I really fucking like
(47:22):
the songs. But still dude songs, Yeah, yeah, seven Mary
three was a better band, was.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Married to Avril, He's Canadian royalty.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
I think it was his curly hair. Man.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
I think that's why people didn't like Nickelback, because that
dude had some fucked up hair.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
We don't like people with curly hair, I guess. But yeah,
it's just too easy to hate on him. And I
don't know, I just I don't think it's deserving. Why
everyone thinks they could dunk on Nickelback when they're one
of the top selling bands of all time so fine compared.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
They made so much much money.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
They made so much money in a stretch of like
four years.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
It's just based on royalties.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
I bet they're still fucking making money. I bet they're
oh yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yeah, but what we played was just a parody, so
we don't we don't know, did okay? Uh that wasn't
the real?
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (48:19):
