Creating New Intro Music
00:00:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Mike, while you're isolated up there, maybe you should work on ah some new intro music.
00:00:22
Austin
I agree. You got all the the the tools available to you, all the instruments.
00:00:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:00:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:28
Mike
Yeah, no, it's really funny because um there's a violin upstairs. I think I should. There's a piano.
00:00:34
Austin
You know, the violin wasn't my first thought, i but I'm curious.
00:00:35
Mike
i
00:00:37
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, neither wasn't mine either, but...
00:00:39
Mike
There's a violin.
00:00:40
Austin
I don't want to limit your musical potential, Mike.
00:00:44
Mike
Dude, by the time I'm done with his dog sitting, I'm going to be in that final scene of the the Titanic where they play off before it crashes. I'm going to be that good.
00:00:53
Austin
i want you to I want you to develop something for the intro, but then do like a little audio Easter egg of you like slapping a piece of chicken or something like that. Like something mild.
00:01:03
Mike
so like like
00:01:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, something, yeah.
00:01:04
Mike
Like Charlie Puth does, just like takes a quick sound sound snippet of something crazy and makes it up.
00:01:08
Austin
Hey, like flips a light switch or something like that.
00:01:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, but you should do stuff like that. Just find a bunch of noises throughout the house and try and make that into a beat.
00:01:15
Mike
Yeah. No, I don't work a full-time job. I'll i'll take care of this.
00:01:18
Victor Gaudiosi
No, you don't.
00:01:18
Mike

it's cool.
00:01:24
Austin
If you are working full time.
00:01:24
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, ive I watched Austin do his taxes on the clock a lot like couple weeks ago. I know for a fact he doesn't work a real job either.
00:01:31
Austin
I do. I do. But what ah what we're saying, Mike, is if you have the full time job, quit, you know, then you're not really you're not really committed if you're not quitting, you know.
00:01:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, and then make beats for a living.
00:01:42
Mike
I guess, I guess. I don't, I don't really know, but I'll try maybe. I'll, you know, I'll do this 15 days as a trial to see if I can balance the full-time job slash intro music producer.
00:01:56
Austin
Oh, Mike, there's no try.
00:01:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay, cool.
00:01:57
Austin
There's only Do.
00:01:58
Victor Gaudiosi
Exactly.
00:02:00

00:02:07
Austin
um ah i don't appreciate you calling me out like that. I'm just kidding.
00:02:11
Mike
I'm calling you out as a compliment. I like it. I've never seen it before. I think it fits you pretty well.
00:02:16
Austin
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
00:02:16
Mike
I feel like you should be on that sitcom Boy Meets World, you know?
00:02:19
Austin
That's it. That's what I'm going for.
Wedding Preparations and Hair Plans

Austin
No, here's the goal, right? i have the wedding in a year and a half and I'm just going to, I usually don't rock my hair long except during COVID.
00:02:32
Austin
And so I'm going to grow it out as much as I can. That looks decent. And then that way I have a good, I have a good base for whenever I want to cut my hair real nice for the wedding.
00:02:42
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, so you're saying you're not going to keep it down to your shoulders when you get married?
00:02:47
Austin
Unless it looks good.
00:02:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Damn.
00:02:48
Austin
If I look taller with my hair down to my shoulders, listen, it's going to stay in.
00:02:48
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:02:52
Mike
So you're just going to let it grow up?
00:02:54

00:03:50
Mike
But she's 16 and she's a little she's a little senile.
00:03:54
Austin
um So she's seeing stuff. oh This could be oh scary. This could be one of those scenarios where the dog is barking at something. You're like what are you barking at? There's nothing there. but It turns out it's a demon.
00:04:05
Austin
There's little demon in the house.

00:04:11
Victor Gaudiosi

00:04:15
Victor Gaudiosi

Mike
Okay, so I believe in ghosts. um I think there is – listen, i'm I'm trying to podcast. What we do?
00:04:26
Austin
Yo, you're going to have to strangle that dog.
00:04:27
Victor Gaudiosi
You know what would be really funny? would be so funny if these barks aren't picking up on the mic.
00:04:30
Mike
We're not strangling no dogs. Let's count down there.
00:04:34
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, Mike's just yelling.
00:04:35
Austin
I know, it sounds like we're talking about nothing.
00:04:37
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Okay.
00:04:40
Mike
I sound more senile than this dog. um I believe in ghosts.
00:04:42
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah okay
00:04:44
Austin
Okay.
00:04:44
Mike
I believe they're real.
00:04:44
Austin
I
00:04:45
Mike
I believe they're around. I don't believe in fucking with them. I think if they're in a place, nobody's no nobody's fornicating a ghost.
00:04:51
Austin
don't think anybody wants to fuck a ghost. I mean...
00:04:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:04:55
Mike
I'm saying I don't believe we should mess with them.
00:04:56
Austin
Oh, okay.
00:04:59
Mike
I think we should let them be. like Let them live their life, whatever they're doing, however they're doing it.
00:05:03
Austin
Right, as opposed to that dog, which you should absolutely mess with right now.
00:05:05
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah Yeah. Can you give it a treat or something?
00:05:08
Mike
All right.
00:05:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Will that calm it down?
00:05:09
Austin
Or take it out of the room?
00:05:09
Mike
I'm talking about it.
00:05:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Just
00:05:11
Mike
Come here, Melody. Come here.
00:05:12
Austin
Melanie? That's the name of the dog? That's like... Are
00:05:16
Victor Gaudiosi
hold there or something. i don't know if that calms her down.
00:05:20
Austin
you holding her?
00:05:22
Mike
No, no, she doesn't. Okay. okay I think she's going roll over. Now here comes a big one. I saw the treats.
00:05:30
Austin
There we go.
00:05:30
Mike
Stop eating the couch.
00:05:32
Austin
There we go.
00:05:33
Mike
Stop eating the couch.
00:05:35
Austin
i mean, this is this is kind of this is kind of relevant, because we did want to talk about animals today, slightly.
00:05:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:05:42
Austin
So maybe
00:05:43
Mike
look Let's hit it. Let's start.
00:05:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Did we have stuff about animals? i didn't have anything. You know what? Actually, I do have something about animals.
00:05:46
Austin
we did.
00:05:49
Austin
We did. We do. We have the gorilla.
00:05:53
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. ah
00:05:53
Mike
Oh, my God. Is this the, is this the, oh, my God.
00:05:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Do you think, do you think a hundred men could beat one gorilla?
00:06:01
Mike
there's no chance.
00:06:02
Austin
What? Dude.
00:06:03
Mike
There's no chance. If it's a silverback, are you for real? Get out of here.
00:06:08
Austin
Somebody said that. I saw a meme the other day where it was like the guy, the 45th guy in line seeing the 44th guy get ripped in half.
00:06:15
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:06:17
Austin
Like, I'm thinking.
00:06:18
Mike
Dude, I don't even think 10 dudes could fight
100 vs. Silverback Gorilla Debate
00:06:22
Mike
one black bear. You're thinking 100 dudes going to take down a silverback gorilla?
00:06:28
Austin
Yes, I do. And you want to know why? Because it's all about overwhelming, right? i don't know how they would kill that. Like, i don't know if they have weapons, but if we're talking about just pure strangling, that's going tough.
00:06:40
Mike
what do what
00:06:40
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:06:40
Austin
But if you have a hundred people,
00:06:42
Mike
Are you saying this gorilla has AK-47s? What do you mean for weapons exactly?
00:06:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Bro, his arms are weapons, dude.
00:06:46
Austin
no, no.
00:06:46
Austin
I mean the humans, the humans I'm saying.
00:06:48
Mike
Of course his arms are weapons. That's why it doesn't matter if there's a 200. He's wrecking all. He's wrecking them all.
00:06:55
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't know. i think if 100 people kind of just jumped on him, you'd have to be...
00:07:00
Austin
I agree.
00:07:01
Victor Gaudiosi
court That's the thing. You have to be coordinated, right? You have to have some sort of plan of attack. um You know, I don't know if it would matter. You're going to lose, like, half, for sure.
00:07:13
Victor Gaudiosi
You're losing, like, 50 people.
00:07:13
Austin
what I was going to say.
00:07:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Like...
00:07:14
Austin
and and And those people need to know it. They need to be able to sacrifice themselves for the overall battle.
00:07:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, they have to be dedicated to the cause. Because if they're not, that gu that gorilla is ripping through every single one of those hundred people.
00:07:21
Austin
Yes.
00:07:25
Austin
Oh my God. Yeah. If they start scattering, forget it.
00:07:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, yeah, they're everyone's fucked.
00:07:28
Austin
It has to be. Yeah. it has to be a coordinated effort, but I don't think that that's impossible. Like these people are fighting for their lives, but no.
00:07:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, but you have to be fighting for, like, something. If there's not, like, a ah goal in mind.
00:07:39
Austin
Life isn't enough.
00:07:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, I guess, but I'm just saying, like... ah to sign up for this, you have to be fighting for something, right? Like,
00:07:49
Austin
Oh, I was.
00:07:49
Mike
Unless we put 100 death row inmates in there, you know, and just like, hey, if you survive, we'll let you free.
00:07:57
Austin
I was assuming that this was like a life or death scenario.
00:07:59
Victor Gaudiosi
well then that, in that, in that case, I probably do want the gorilla to win, but you know, yeah.
00:08:05
Mike
ah
00:08:06
Austin
Like the Hunger Games?
00:08:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Um, I don't know. ah I think if you overwhelmed and ah ah gorilla with 100 people, like just the sheer numbers of 100 versus 1 is like enough to stop i think like a pretty big force like that.
00:08:24
Victor Gaudiosi
But ah like I had said, if they're not coordinated at all, like that gorilla is fucking people up. He's fucking all 100 up if they're not coordinated.
00:08:31
Austin
Yeah, it it has to be the the the perfect combination of events and coordination for that to work. Because otherwise, that gorilla just starts swinging. Over.
00:08:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. they People are fucked. Yeah.
00:08:44
Austin
People are literally getting ripped in half. I mean, throw like one of these little haymakers down.
00:08:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:08:49
Austin
Yeah.
00:08:50
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. That girl is like, yeah, there he's doing, um you guys see Game of Thrones when ah ah Pedro Pascal gets his head popped like ah like a, yeah, that's happening.
00:08:58
Austin
Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:01
Victor Gaudiosi
That's happening to somebody.
00:09:03
Austin
Yeah. Oh, God. I was about to spoil something for a show that I've been watching, but I won't do that.
00:09:08
Victor Gaudiosi
What show?
00:09:09
Austin
I can't. I can't say it.
00:09:11
Victor Gaudiosi
can't even say the show.
00:09:12
Austin
Well, can we believe it if I say it?
00:09:12
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, are you going to say the last of us? Oh, I thought you're going to spoil the last of us, which isn't really a spoiler because it's a game that came out before the show.
00:09:14
Austin
No.
00:09:20
Austin
Well, some people haven't watched the game
00:09:20
Victor Gaudiosi
So.
Avoiding Show Spoilers

Austin

00:09:22
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of people, lot of people are upset by episode two of this season, I guess, ah without knowing the. ah

Victor Gaudiosi
The plot. Yeah.
00:09:32
Austin

00:10:20
Victor Gaudiosi

Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Is it running fast enough?
00:10:27
Austin
Right? like
00:10:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Like that's, that's it. That's all that matters. It's running fast enough. I don't need 25% off that.
00:10:33
Austin
Yeah. yeah. And you know what? Some people are going to listen to this and be like, Austin, you just don't have the right drive and everything like that. Like take pride in your work, but it's just not me, baby.
00:10:45
Austin
Like can't do it. I'm done. I've been doing this for like three and a half years. I got one more class left. We're done, you know?
00:10:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:10:53
Austin
So anyways, that's what that was. And so if we hear any more, just know that my stress levels are not affected in the future.
00:11:02
Victor Gaudiosi
Fair enough. um So while we're on the topic of animals and Austin, I mean, hey, maybe this gives you some good ideas, some good insights, you know, with you planning the wedding and all.
Aquarium Wedding Experience
00:11:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Last night, I attended a wedding at an aquarium.
00:11:18

00:11:30
Mike
Yeah, give us a lowdown on this.
00:11:31
Victor Gaudiosi
So.
00:11:31
Mike
I'm intrigued.
00:11:32
Victor Gaudiosi
So the ceremony, it's a funny story. So me and my friends, we arrived to the ceremony late.
00:11:40
Austin
Of course.
00:11:40
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm not going lie. We arrived late because we took too much time on figuring out what we were going write in the cards to the couple.
00:11:47
Austin
Come on. You've done that literally during the ceremony.
00:11:49
Victor Gaudiosi
We right
00:11:51
Austin
You could have done that.
00:11:52
Victor Gaudiosi
I know, but we were getting tripped up and we were like looking at the clock and we're like,
00:11:57
Mike
yeah yeah
00:11:58
Austin
bro.
00:11:59
Victor Gaudiosi
it's don't worry about it.
00:12:00
Austin
I don't know what to do. It's a part of pit now.
00:12:01
Victor Gaudiosi
We'll just we'll just like ignore it. Yeah.
00:12:03
Austin
Yeah.
00:12:03
Victor Gaudiosi
um So, yeah, we showed up. It started at 630 and I was like, all right, maybe they maybe 640, right? Maybe 630 is like, you know, get in. Ceremonies are usually short short anyway. It's like obviously like the reception like matters more.
00:12:18
Austin
Sure.
00:12:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, not matters more, but you know what I mean?
00:12:20
Mike
The ceremony is the important part.
00:12:21
Victor Gaudiosi
um everybody is important I know. i know.
00:12:24
Austin
It's just words, you know?
00:12:24
Victor Gaudiosi
But I'm thinking, yeah, I'm thinking, okay.
00:12:26
Mike
Okay, so at Austin's wedding, I'm going to skip the ceremony and just go to the reception if it's not important.
00:12:30
Austin
skip the ceremony, I kick your ass.
00:12:32
Mike
no, I was in it as a problem.
00:12:33
Victor Gaudiosi
Listen, listen, I, I straight up I straight up almost like, not that I almost skipped a ceremony, but I'll, I'll tell you why.
00:12:34
Mike
Oh, okay.
00:12:34
Austin
Well, that's mean, you know?
00:12:39
Victor Gaudiosi
so we We get to the entrance and we can see like, oh, like we see everybody. Like we see like the thing happening.
00:12:50
Victor Gaudiosi
It's like, fuck. All right We're definitely late. We walk in and where we entered, like where we had to like go, like we had to go upstairs. Basically, there's two levels.
00:13:03
Victor Gaudiosi
We entered through the gift shop and we walk up the stairs and
00:13:05
Austin
through the gift.
00:13:07
Victor Gaudiosi
And then the ceremony was happening like right there. And so it's a split level where you can like kind of see. So like and my, and my like thought was, okay, let's just stay in the middle of the stairs.
00:13:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Like we could see them through like a little gap in the, in like between like the, uh, whatever the wall that keeps people from falling in the stairs. I was like, let's just stay here. So we're not like drawing any attention to ourselves.
00:13:34
Victor Gaudiosi
The usher. who works at the aquarium is like, nah, come upstairs, come upstairs. So we walk up and we're like, okay. And we're standing at the back. At this point, we're like, we're not going to like make our way to the seats. Like the groom is saying his vows.
00:13:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Like they're giving the speeches to each other. and I'm like, oh, this is a very emotional moment. I do not want to walk by like a camera or like you know i'm saying? Like, I'm not trying to get in the way at this point. I'm going to stay here in the back. Or like, it was me and my friends.
00:13:57
Victor Gaudiosi
ended up not being the latest cup. There was another couple that came later, which was, you know, felt, I felt good about that.
00:14:01
Austin
Click.
00:14:03
Victor Gaudiosi
All right. I kind of say I did feel really good about that. Um, and so we're standing there and we're like okay, we're not going get in the way.
00:14:06
Austin
Let's all learn this.
00:14:11
Victor Gaudiosi
We're going to just chill here. Ceremony continues. The bride says her vows. They do the ring exchange. You know, they say, I, I do know whatnot. And I was like, all right, great. You know, like we missed the beginning part, but it's fine.
00:14:26
Victor Gaudiosi
And then the thought popped up in my head of, oh, we're basically at the entrance doors, right? Like if you're thinking of this as like a chapel, we're at the doors. Where do you think the couple is supposed to walk, right?
00:14:39
Austin
Yeah, right towards you, baby. Mm-hmm.
00:14:40
Mike
and and
00:14:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. And so it was a room and it was split. Like the stairs were in the middle of the room and then there was an exit on the left side and the right side. We're on this side, right? So I don't know how this is going to look on the camera, but like we're on the right side, whatever.
00:14:55
Victor Gaudiosi
And so they start walking and they get to the middle point. We're like, please, please go left. Please go to the left side. Please do not come this way. They came our way.
00:15:05
Mike
Go right down the center, baby.
00:15:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Yep. And my friend is like, hey, let's just go downstairs now.
00:15:10
Austin
oh
00:15:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Like they start walking right before right before they start coming towards us. We're like, let's just go downstairs because the reception was downstairs. We basically walk past the reception room to get to where the ceremony was happening.
00:15:22
Victor Gaudiosi
And she was like, let's just go down the stairs now while they're walking towards us. So that way we're not like, you know, in their way or in their shot.
00:15:28
Austin
in the shot.
00:15:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Me and my friend froze and they walked past us and we essentially dap the couple up.
00:15:36
Mike
Yeah.
00:15:36
Austin
but
00:15:37
Mike
ah
00:15:38
Victor Gaudiosi
and then And then they walked out, and then the whole room was staring at us.
00:15:38
Mike
ah
00:15:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Because clear we're we're just, what else are you going to look at? You're watching the bride and groom leave, and then you just see three people standing there who clearly came late
00:15:55
Austin
You were part of the ceremony. You were the ceremonial dap.
00:15:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:16:00
Victor Gaudiosi
And so at that point, we're like, my friend was like, please, the two of you need to move.
00:16:00
Austin
ah
00:16:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Let's go downstairs. And I still didn't want to move. cause i was like i don't, are we supposed to go downstairs? Like, I don't know. She like, yes, we're so supposed to, the ceremony is downstairs, like move. And so we, we start like awkwardly walk down the stairs before everyone else, like was basically like told to go downstairs and And somehow I'm not going to say this on the show. I'm going I'll tell you guys after it wasn't the most awkward part of the night.
00:16:31
Austin
Oh, okay.
00:16:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. So that's actually not that bad. But what I will say is, you know, after that, which is, you know, pretty funny. What I didn't realize that they were going to do. Cause I, I obviously I knew was at an aquarium the whole time, you know, since I got the invite, but what I didn't know was that they keep workers on staff at,
00:16:52
Victor Gaudiosi
like exhibits and you're allowed to walk the whole aquarium.
00:16:57
Austin
Oh, and
00:16:57
Victor Gaudiosi
The whole aquarium is open.
00:16:58
Mike
That's pretty cool.
00:16:59
Victor Gaudiosi
You get to look at all these animals, like um a bunch like jellyfish, obviously like fish, sharks, seals, otters, all of these things. And they were workers staying, like staying at stations and being like, oh yeah, like you can touch like, like a crab touching station.
00:17:15
Victor Gaudiosi
um They had um an Atlantic atlantic sturgeon. which is like an endangered species.
00:17:19
Austin
Oh, yeah.
00:17:21
Victor Gaudiosi
They had like a little tank for them. They were like, yeah, this is like one of the only five touch tanks for Atlantic sturgeon in like the country.
00:17:27
Mike
Oh, shit.
00:17:28
Victor Gaudiosi
I was like, that's pretty crazy. Like I know it was, but it was like a fun, like a little fun fact.
00:17:30
Austin
At least specific. Yeah. Cool.
00:17:33
Victor Gaudiosi
um But yeah, it was crazy because like not only were some of the wedding photos with fish, Like some of the photos I took last night have like seals like ah in the background and whatnot.
00:17:43
Austin
Nice.
00:17:44
Victor Gaudiosi
But like it was like a cool experience because you got to like go through the aquarium. I mean all of cocktail hour, I didn't participate in cocktail hour. I was exploring the aquarium and like looking at animals.
00:17:55
Austin
but
00:17:58
Victor Gaudiosi
It was so sick. um I will say though, and and this is – I don't think it's fair. I think it's you know a little it's a little weird to me. It wasn't like it wasn't kosher, but – The two food choices were ah like a short rib and a fish.
00:18:14
Austin
Ooh, I bet you it was fresh.
00:18:15
Victor Gaudiosi
And it's like.
00:18:16
Mike
Was it salmon?
00:18:17
Victor Gaudiosi
No, I was like it was some sort of white fish. it might have been cod or like a brazino or something.
00:18:20
Mike
Swordfish?
00:18:22
Victor Gaudiosi
um But I was like, I can't get fish in an aquarium, right?
00:18:25
Mike
Yeah.
00:18:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Like that seems pretty weird.
00:18:27
Austin
Yeah, can.
00:18:29
Victor Gaudiosi
The fish, i my friend got it and she let me try a piece. The fish was way better than the short rib. The short rib was good, but the fish went hard.
00:18:33
Austin
Yeah.
00:18:36
Austin
Yeah, because it was caught that day.
00:18:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:18:39
Austin
They pulled it right out of the tank.
00:18:39
Victor Gaudiosi
They're taking it out of the tank.
00:18:41
Mike
probably caught that hour.
00:18:42
Austin
Wow.
00:18:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:18:44
Austin
That's it.
00:18:44
Victor Gaudiosi
But it was ah it was a very good, it was a very fun ceremony, very, well, part of a ceremony that I got to see. And then a really fun reception. Like, it it was like a very, like, they're like an, they have like very eccentric personalities, um this couple, and it just, it fit them.
00:19:00
Austin
That's so cool. I love unique ideas or locations like that.
00:19:00
Victor Gaudiosi
um Yeah.
00:19:03
Austin
like yeah Sometimes you gotta to you gotta to get away from the the norms, you know?
00:19:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. I didn't even know you can get married at an aquarium.
Hosting Weddings at Aquariums or Zoos
00:19:11
Mike
Now,
00:19:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Like,
00:19:11
Austin
You can be married literally anywhere.
00:19:13
Mike
Now, Austin, after hearing that story, what are what's the percentage chance you check out an aquarium for your wedding?
00:19:21
Austin
Zero percent chance.
00:19:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, wouldn't it wouldn't fit you guys.
00:19:24
Mike
What about like the Bronx Zoo?
00:19:28
Austin
Uh, also 0% chance.
00:19:30
Mike
But why?
00:19:31
Austin
You know what? It's almost like at the off chance, like I know what a zoo smells like and that doesn't seem to fit my vibe. You know what i mean? Unless you're me out, right? You get some penguins to walk down the aisle and hand me the engagement rings or not the engagement rings, but the wedding bands, that would be pretty sick, you know?
00:19:50
Mike
done.
00:19:53
Austin
But yeah I don't know. I like those ideas. I like attending those weddings. I don't like and don't like the idea of hosting that wedding.
00:20:00
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:20:01
Austin
You know? But I still think it's cool. We're in that season now. I feel like I've been to like maybe three weddings in my lifetime. I feel like it's about to pick up.
00:20:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, it's it's definitely picking up for me. Yeah,
00:20:12
Mike
Bro, I did eight last year.
00:20:14
Austin
Yeah, but you're more you're more social than we are. You're more talky talky.
00:20:17
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah man. Come on. Yeah.
00:20:19
Austin
Pick up people at the bar kind of deal.
00:20:20
Mike
boys coach you I want to go to eight weddings.
00:20:22
Victor Gaudiosi
ah take put the apart
00:20:24
Austin
you like He's like yeah, i got a wedding from this guy that we met the other day at the bar. And I'm like, I don't i can't do that. i don't get First of all, I don't get invited to weddings like that.
00:20:34
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:20:35
Austin
You know?
00:20:36
Mike
I'm still literally financially recovering from eight weddings.
00:20:40
Austin
Gotta love it.
00:20:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Dude, the bartender last night, it was open bar, ah which, you know, awesome.
00:20:47
Austin
Dangerous.
00:20:48
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, very, very much dangerous.
00:20:49
Mike
At an aquarium? Where's the bar at the aquarium?
00:20:52
Victor Gaudiosi
ah They didn't have a real bartender. They just had dudes who worked at the aquarium serving drinks.
00:20:58
Austin
Awesome. Yeah.
00:20:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Dude, the guy like it was two bartenders and then one of them like had to leave because he had a family of emergency. Hopefully, you know, everything is cool, you know?
00:21:08
Austin
yeah
00:21:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Uh, but the other guy that was left was like, yeah, man, I don't really, he's like, I work at the aquarium. Like I don't really, don't.
00:21:14
Mike
He's like, I cleaned the tanks. He's like, I have no clue what I'm doing.
00:21:16
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. And he was basically like, ah he was like, I don't know how to do this. And so, you know, people would be like, yeah, can I get like, like the drink I had a couple of times last night was like, uh, like a Sprite orange juice and tequila.
00:21:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Right. Something simple.
00:21:31
Mike
Vic, you drank last night.
00:21:31
Victor Gaudiosi
And you know,
00:21:32
Mike
Good for you, dog.
00:21:33
Victor Gaudiosi
I got hammered last night because, because yeah,
00:21:34
Austin
in And here he is today with us.
00:21:38
Mike
I hope you read a book and it's just like, I got hammered at the aquarium by Victor Godius.
00:21:43
Victor Gaudiosi
the, the bartender was like, he would, you would, he would give you the glass and he would start making the drink and then be like, Oh, do you want it strong? And I'm like, sure. Why? I'm not paying for this. I'm only, you know, I was giving out tips or whatever. It was like, I'm not paying like $10 for this drink.
00:21:59
Austin
I see.
00:21:59
Victor Gaudiosi
And he would pour half the – he would pour like a a quadruple, not a double, not a triple. ah Like literally half the glass would be alcohol and then he would polish it off just a little bit with like the mixer.
00:22:10
Austin
My man.
00:22:12
Victor Gaudiosi
And he was getting people fucked up, like really fucked up.
00:22:15
Austin
That
00:22:17
Mike
Because he's not, I'm not saying he's not a real bartender, so he's not counting.
00:22:17
Victor Gaudiosi
And again – Yeah.
00:22:18
Austin
was a trooper.
00:22:21
Mike
He's not doing like no six second pours or anything like that. He's literally asking people, how would you like it?
00:22:24
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:22:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:22:27
Mike
Like you don't do that at bars. Of course, you're going to say strong every time.
00:22:31
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah he he was in like he was like we made friends with him right away and he was like the whole night just trying to hook us up he was like pointing us out like we would be in line and we wouldn't be like it wouldn't be my our turn but he would be like oh you want something like he would like call us up to the front of the line i was like all right no like i'm not gonna i'm not gonna cut these people
00:22:52
Austin
No, Vic, you put in that work, you take advantage.
00:22:54
Victor Gaudiosi
no no no it's all right um
00:22:55
Mike
fucking right. Fucking
00:22:57
Victor Gaudiosi
But yeah, like we he was getting us dialed up.
00:23:01
Austin
That's awesome.
00:23:02
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:23:03
Austin
i yeah I have a ah wedding story because you talked about awkward moments.
00:23:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:23:08
Austin
I had a wedding that I went to last year. where it was um out of state and i was there, like the, but obviously the, the women had to be at the area to get ready much earlier than us, than than the guys.
00:23:26
Austin
And so I was hanging out at the Airbnb and, after I had dropped B off and we came back and half the guys were probably asleep in bed still. Right.
00:23:37
Austin
And they had told us that we needed, say we needed to be at the venue for like 2 PM. Right. That's what they told us. And it was like, you know, 1230 or something like that. One o'clock. And I was like, guys, I'm not going to be late.
00:23:54
Austin
Like, I don't feel like dealing with that today. i know I'm your ride. Get up and let's go. And they all, but surprisingly, they all pulled it together and we got there by 2 PM.
00:24:04
Mike
Beautiful.
00:24:05
Austin
But it turns out that the women told us 2 PM expecting us to get there for three and the wedding didn't start.
00:24:12
Mike
oh
00:24:13
Austin
The wedding didn't start until like three 30, right? Something ridiculous. And so we get there and they're like still setting up for the venue. And we're like, Hey, we're here for the wedding. And they're like,
00:24:24
Austin
wait, uh, no, we're not, we're not ready for you yet. i was like, I can't go back. We can't go back. Right. Like we're not going to get back here in time.
00:24:30
Mike
No.
00:24:31
Austin
Like we have to stay. And they were like, okay, well we don't really know where to put you right now. So just go this way. Just walk the grounds. Right. And we're like, all right, well, whatever. It was hot, though.
00:24:41
Austin
So we were trying to find a place to like get inside.
00:24:42
Victor Gaudiosi
Thank you.
00:24:45
Austin
And so we were just roaming the grounds and we we stumbled upon like this nice, like open path bushes on either side. We're like, wow, what a nice like little area like people should take photos here. Right.
00:24:56
Austin
And we turn the corner and we see the um one of the people getting married at the end of the aisle. right, of of like all these bushes and everything like that. and so we start walking towards them. We're like, oh shit, we know we should say hi.
00:25:10
Austin
Let somebody you know that we're here, right? And we walk up and we were like, hey, hey, you know, like how's it going, yada, yada, yada. And all of a sudden we get these hands on our shoulder and they're like, you got to get the fuck out of here right now. They're doing first look and the bride is right behind you. And like, oh shit. And we had to run.
00:25:26
Austin
Get out of there. And we were like, this wouldn't have happened if we were just told the right time. Like,
00:25:32
Victor Gaudiosi
No.
00:25:33
Mike
Yeah, you can't you can't fuck a time for a wedding.
00:25:33
Victor Gaudiosi
but Hey, listen. No, no, no, no. What I'm going to say is knowing you and possibly knowing, i mean, I don't know these guys, but I assume the wives or the, you know, the significant others of these guys knew them as well.
00:25:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Telling you guys an earlier time to make sure you're there on time makes a lot of sense.
00:25:55
Austin
It does...
00:25:55
Victor Gaudiosi
This might've been the one time you've been on time.
00:25:58
Austin
Yeah. I mean, that's fair.
00:25:59
Mike
and Yeah, Vic, spot on.
00:25:59
Austin
But like, I, I am, i am when it, when it comes to something like a wedding, right?
00:26:01
Mike
Spot on.
00:26:06
Austin
Like I'm not going to be late, right? I am really not. And so that's why i almost wanted to show up early. I almost want to show up earlier than they told us, but thank God I didn't. and And dude, I mean, we were like, we looked, we turned around because we came around the corner And they had the cameras up and everything, like ready to take the shot. And the reason that her back was to us was because she was waiting for it to do the first look. And I was like, yo we are, I can't believe it. And then we just like sulked off to a corner for an hour.
00:26:39
Austin
But that was my only awkward experience at a wedding.
00:26:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:26:44
Austin
Gotta love it.
00:26:45
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:26:47
Austin
Gotta love it.
Awkward Wedding Stories
00:26:50
Austin
Gotta love that.
00:26:50
Victor Gaudiosi
But yeah I'll probably cut all of that. Obviously that's, yeah.
00:26:52
Austin
I think you should.
00:26:54
Victor Gaudiosi
Um, let me, let me see what I had in the, in
Reviving the Rainforest Cafe
00:26:59
Victor Gaudiosi
the docket. I kind of forgot. Um,
00:27:04
Mike
Speaking of Aquarians and stuff, kind of off topic, but um they're closing Forever 21 in the West Farmers Mall. And I think this is a great opportunity. We should bring back the Rainforest Cafe.
00:27:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay. I didn't know you where you were going with that because you go, speaking of aquariums, this is off topic.
00:27:23
Mike
I know. I needed you to i needed you to full on of
00:27:25
Victor Gaudiosi
i was like, wait, what?
00:27:26
Austin
like That sounds on topic...................
00:27:26
Mike
like and need you to hold on a little bit for the full thing.
00:27:28
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Okay. Fair enough.
00:27:30
Mike
But I think we should bring back the Rainforest Cafe. I think once that left, think once that left, I think that mall went downhill.
00:27:34
Victor Gaudiosi
I think you're right.
00:27:37
Mike
I'm not going to lie.
00:27:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. I agree. um i don't remember how good the food. I only got to go to that rainforest cafe like once, but like, would be nice to have Yeah.
00:27:44
Mike
No, the food's average. Food's average.
00:27:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:27:46
Mike
But youre above the experience...
00:27:49
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I would love to get some dinosaur themed or not dinosaur themed, but i just I don't know why I think Jurassic Park when I think of Rainforest Cafe, they kind of just go hand in hand for me. But getting some Rainforest Cafe themed alcoholic margaritas, you know, that'd been pretty fun to do at Rainforest Cafe.
00:28:05
Mike
Maybe like a little shark bowl, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:05
Austin
Interesting.
00:28:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:28:08
Mike
little fish bowl, little shark mouth.
00:28:10
Austin
There are no sharks in the rainforest?
00:28:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:28:12
Austin
What are you talking about?
00:28:13
Victor Gaudiosi
I was I was good I was going to let him have that one.
00:28:15
Austin
Yo. Can we at least be like semi-unbrand here? Maybe like a little, like a big bug, you know?
00:28:19
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:28:22
Victor Gaudiosi
Or like a leopard.
00:28:22
Mike
had a fish tank in the rainforest cafe.
00:28:24
Victor Gaudiosi
Actually, leopards aren't.
00:28:25
Mike
There's no fish in the rainforest.
00:28:25
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:28:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Like in little. Yeah, I mean, they probably do in the rivers. You're telling there's no fish in the Amazon River.
00:28:31
Mike
Okay.
00:28:31
Austin
Sharks in the rivers?
00:28:34
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm not saying sharks. I'm just saying fish in general. There's got to be fish in the Amazon River.
00:28:36
Austin
Oh, yeah. mean, there's got to be some fish for sure.
00:28:39
Mike
i think we I think that's what we should do.
00:28:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Frogs.
00:28:40
Mike
i think we should purchase the rights to or purchase a franchise of Rainforest Cafe and the three of us should bring it back.
00:28:49
Austin
i think that there's a reason why Rainforest Cafe went out of business.
00:28:53
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I was going to say, maybe we should just do one of those like change.org petitions.
00:28:53
Austin
Yeah.
00:28:58
Victor Gaudiosi
I think that would be a better use of our time and money.
00:28:58
Mike
Yeah.
00:29:01
Austin
we We put together a petition to um reinstate Rainforest Cafe and we started GoFundMe, but then we just take all the money.
00:29:06
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:09
Mike
We all know those change.org petitions don't go anywhere anyways.
00:29:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:29:13
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm not going to I'm not going to we don't have to get too into this, but I Did you see this week, ah this lady got, ah rightfully so, called out um for like calling someone the N-word at like a public park
00:29:13
Mike
Come on.
Controversial GoFundMe Discussion
00:29:32
Victor Gaudiosi
with her child.
00:29:32
Austin
No.
00:29:33
Victor Gaudiosi
And then, because she was getting canceled, raised $300,000 on GoFundMe.
00:29:41
Austin
For what?
00:29:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Because she was getting canceled by the woke mob.

00:29:48
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, for herself. Yeah.
00:29:49
Austin
Did she lose her job or something?
00:29:50
Victor Gaudiosi
I think she did. Yeah, she was caught. think She called another she called, I think, a black woman like the N word. And then lost her job over it, rightfully so. But then people she started to go fund me.
00:30:01
Victor Gaudiosi
The goal was like 100. The goal was a million dollars. And she's raised like 300,000 so far.
00:30:07
Austin
See, now that is
00:30:07
Mike
Goals a million?
00:30:09
Victor Gaudiosi
The goal was a million and she's raised three hundred thousand dollars.
00:30:15
Austin
that is like, it's so disgusting, but it it upsets me more that people found it justified to give her money.
00:30:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I can't. I'd like I think that's gross. I'm
00:30:29
Austin
I think that's very indicative of our of our current state in this country.
00:30:32
Mike
Can we find the GoFundMe and see how much top contributor paid?
00:30:34
Victor Gaudiosi
um I'm looking it up. Yeah, I'm looking at right now. um
00:30:38
Mike
Like if somebody gave her like $3,000, that's going to be insane.
00:30:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. um Oh, it's on give send go.
00:30:48
Victor Gaudiosi
um I'm trying to pull it up, ah but go ahead. Go ahead.
00:30:48
Mike
Speaking of why you look that up, unless unless you have it up right now.
00:30:55
Mike
I went yesterday since I'm dog sitting. I went somewhere that I haven't went to since I was a kid. And i've found that only 11 are still open in the state of Connecticut.
00:31:07
Austin
Chuck E. Cheese.
00:31:08
Mike
ah No, I'm banned from three of those. ah
00:31:10
Austin
so
00:31:11
Mike
i went I went to a Friendly's.
00:31:14
Austin
Oh, wow. Okay. Well, they still have their ice cream that they're selling, but you're talking about like physical locations.
00:31:19
Mike
Physical location. Yeah, know I know. I went just for the ice cream. But see, when I was a kid, i i always like i always left with an upset stomach.
00:31:27
Austin
Mm-hmm.
00:31:28
Mike
from Friendly's. um even ah Even when I took my SATs and there was a Friendly's next to the SAT spot. And even then at like 15, like it still happened. So I never went back, but I thought they all closed.
00:31:40
Mike
And then I found one right over here. so i went for the ice cream, slamming, not going to lie. And then I looked it up because I was like, oh my God, there's got to be like one of three left. And there's still 11 in the state. I was very very surprised because I thought those were that those were going down.
00:31:56
Austin
Shout out to Friendly's. We love a sponsorship, Friendly's.
00:31:57
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah Oh, this is even worse than I thought.
00:31:58
Austin
You know, if you want to go on the up and up, reach out to Laundry in the Basement.
00:32:00
Mike
yeah Chili's didn't bite on us after we did the baby back ribs. Oh,
00:32:06
Austin
Oh, no shit. Really? After they left a hair in their salad? Or was that Applebee's?
00:32:13
Mike
God, what did he find?
00:32:14
Austin
Uh-oh.
00:32:15
Mike
It's even worse than he thought. How could it be worse?
00:32:17
Austin
I don't and don't want to hear worse than you thought.
00:32:17
Victor Gaudiosi
It's worse than I thought.
00:32:21
Victor Gaudiosi
it's It is way worse than I thought. Okay. Okay.
00:32:26
Victor Gaudiosi
So it looks like ah she yelled it at at a five-year-old child.
00:32:33
Austin
Okay.
00:32:33
Mike
Oh, yeah.
00:32:34
Austin
All right.
00:32:35
Victor Gaudiosi
it looks like It looks like the five-year-old child took her son's stuff, which they're children, by the way.
00:32:35
Mike
that Yeah.
00:32:41
Victor Gaudiosi
So maybe the kid just grabbed it, either by a mistake or like the kid grabbed it not knowing any better. It's a fucking five-year-old.
00:32:49
Austin
Right.
00:32:50
Victor Gaudiosi
And she called the child the N-word, or just use the N word at least several times in the video. And as we are currently speaking, she has raised $645,000.
00:33:04
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't, mean, it's just going
00:33:08
Mike
I now kind of want to see the video.
00:33:11
Victor Gaudiosi
to make me more.
00:33:12
Austin
I don't want to see the video.
00:33:12
Victor Gaudiosi
It's going to make me mad. it's going to make me very mad
00:33:15
Mike
I just want to know context of like what exactly happened.
00:33:18
Victor Gaudiosi
There's no con I don't need a context, Mike.
00:33:18
Mike
I mean, she's wrong.
00:33:18
Austin
um need a context.
00:33:19
Mike
She's wrong.
00:33:19
Austin
Don't need context.
00:33:20
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm going to tell you that right now.
00:33:21
Mike
She's wrong.
00:33:21
Austin
No context needed.
00:33:22
Victor Gaudiosi
ah A child, a child took her, her son's stuff.
00:33:22
Mike
She's wrong.
00:33:23
Austin
I
00:33:23
Mike
But like.
00:33:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Again, a five-year-old took her son's stuff, which like they were in a park, they were in a public park.
00:33:27
Mike
But were they in school? Were they in the park? Like, that's the context.
00:33:31
Austin
i can tell you what, Mike, the setting does not matter.
00:33:34
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. but I will also say that the, the top giver, the top giver is someone who paid $10,000.
00:33:36
Austin
I don't...
00:33:42
Mike
No.
00:33:43
Victor Gaudiosi
And then i I'm going to say, this is ah again, this makes me lose hope and humanity here. um There's been a couple people who have given... There's a couple people in here.
00:33:58
Victor Gaudiosi
ah
00:34:01
Victor Gaudiosi
One of them named themselves White Lives Matter and donated $1,488, which if you don't know what is, it's a massive dog whistle.
00:34:04
Mike
Ooh.
00:34:12
Victor Gaudiosi
ah Basically, it's like a Nazi dog whistle. It's like the 14. It's like the fine. It's basically ah calling like for the final solution. That's what like Hitler used in.
00:34:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, it's 14. If you ever see 1488 by by itself, it's it's a racist dog whistle. I'm just letting you guys know that. ah And then some of the other ah donations are just the letters of the N word.
00:34:42
Victor Gaudiosi
So like N, yeah the individual letters.
00:34:43
Austin
Like individual submissions.
00:34:46
Victor Gaudiosi
So like N, and then you you, I think you could use your brains here to figure out the rest.
00:34:51
Austin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah um
00:34:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I'm not going to spell it out literally. um So yeah, I think all these people should probably be um
00:34:59
Austin
I mean, ah we're going to refrain from from saying that on the podcast.
00:34:59
Mike
who ah We should put them in the 100.
00:35:01
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm not even, yeah No, I'm not, I'm double, I'm 10 toes down. I think these people should probably be
00:35:06
Austin
But.
00:35:07
Mike
I think we should submit them for the 100 people versus one gorilla.
00:35:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, i think that I think that's a very fair punishment for these people.
00:35:15
Austin
I just don't know how there's...
00:35:15
Victor Gaudiosi
And how about how about each one of these people individually against 100 gorillas?
00:35:20
Austin
There's got to be some legal recourse for this.
00:35:22
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't know. I genuinely don't know.
00:35:24
Mike
thought it
00:35:24
Victor Gaudiosi
This is insane. She's like, yeah. um she It literally says in her thing, she's like, I recently had a kid steal my 18-year-old or steal from my 18-month-old diaper bag at the park.
00:35:36
Austin
Diaper bag.
00:35:36
Victor Gaudiosi
which again, it's a kid.
00:35:37
Austin
Oh, okay.
00:35:38
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't know.
00:35:39
Austin
I thought she going to get the diaper bag.
00:35:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, yeah
00:35:41
Austin
Never mind.
00:35:42
Mike
Do they walk at 18 months?
00:35:44
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah, babies can walk at 18 months.
00:35:45
Austin
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:46
Victor Gaudiosi
So the kid was probably walking around and another kid came up and took something from her bag, which listen again, I'm not going to justify stealing, but it's a child.
00:35:46
Austin
yeah
00:35:53
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't think he knows he was stealing.
00:35:54
Mike
Oh, I thought you were, wait, are you like, I need to clarify and i I don't care if I sound stupid.
00:35:55
Victor Gaudiosi
It's a child.
00:36:00
Mike
Are you saying that an 18 month old stole something?
00:36:03
Victor Gaudiosi
ah A five, a five-year-old, which is the stilt.
00:36:05
Mike
five year old stole something from an 18 month old.
00:36:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Yes.
00:36:08
Mike
Okay. Okay.
00:36:09
Victor Gaudiosi
And then she she goes, I called the kid out for what he was. She called him the N word multiple times.
00:36:17
Mike
wow wow wow while we were wow I out for what
00:36:17
Austin
That's crazy.
00:36:22
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:36:23
Mike
that
00:36:23
Austin
This is infuriating.
00:36:23
Victor Gaudiosi
And she goes and then she goes another man who we just and again, she tries to, again, justify herself being like who we recently found out has in history with law enforcement recorded me and followed me to my car.
00:36:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, probably because you called the child the N word. I don't care if this guy has a past with law enforcement or not. Who gives a fuck?
00:36:41
Austin
Yeah.
00:36:41
Victor Gaudiosi
You're being racist. And she goes, he posted the videos online, which has caused me and my family great turmoil. Fuck you
00:36:49
Austin
Yeah, truly.
00:36:50
Victor Gaudiosi
Fuck you. Listen, and I'm sorry. I didn't want to talk about this until I, i again, I didn't know the full context of the story. I didn't really want to talk about this. And now that I'm finding out how much worse it is than what I thought it was, I'm really mad.
00:37:08
Victor Gaudiosi
um i'm really I'm really upset. ah that That kind of ruins my night.
00:37:14
Austin
wonder, it's
00:37:15
Victor Gaudiosi
$645,000 this lady, by the way.
00:37:15
Mike
and
00:37:18
Austin
it's more It's more frustrating to me that the platform that they're using to donate this money isn't stepping in to do this.
00:37:24
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:37:26
Mike
yeah will have a legal They don't have a legal thing.
00:37:26
Austin
I don't...
00:37:29
Mike
like it's not
00:37:30
Austin
I don't...
00:37:30
Mike
and
00:37:31
Austin
I almost don't care. Find one. You know what I mean?
00:37:33
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:37:33
Austin
Like...
00:37:34
Mike
But there is none. there is You can't. There is none. I'm sorry to tell you this, but that's what like the first four amendments protect. like You can't do anything.
00:37:43
Victor Gaudiosi
The first four amendments that do not protect this.
00:37:43
Austin
i don't...
00:37:46
Mike
Well, the freedom of speech.
00:37:48
Austin
i don't I don't think it is either.
00:37:48
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, well, actually actually, no, I don't think saying the N-words protected on the freedom of the freedom of speech.
00:37:55
Austin
And I think that this is this is condoning that. I mean, I don't have a i don't have a you know ah the background to be able to speak on this. But like it's so insane to me.
00:38:05
Austin
It's like people get kicked off of Twitter for a whole lot less, but yet you can go on this platform and get paid for it.
00:38:06
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:38:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. That's crazy. i I really did not think... The fact that she's getting that much, like, that's gross. It's just gross to me.
00:38:22
Mike
You know what pisses me off is that like people won't help the homeless. some People will get money.
00:38:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:27
Mike
You know what I'm saying?
00:38:27
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:38:28
Mike
Like I hate those videos in a moral sense where it's like somebody does a social experiment where like they sit in the middle of New York City with like a homeless sign and they don't get money. And then they'll sit with a sign that's like, I just want weed.
00:38:39
Mike
And everybody will like throw them $20 bills and stuff. It's like it pisses me off. Like these people have the money to help the homeless, but they're going to help somebody who they just align with, you know?
00:38:51
Mike
Speaking of, I want to say this for one second. I don't want to go too deep, but you said Twitter. People get kicked off Twitter. Trump got kicked off Twitter, and now his boy Elon Musk owns it.
00:39:02
Mike
So why is he not that guy?
00:39:03
Victor Gaudiosi
he's He's been allowed back on Twitter. He just doesn't want to.
00:39:05
Austin
Yeah, he's been allowed back.
00:39:06
Mike
Oh, okay.
00:39:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:39:07
Austin
He just doesn't do it because now he has his own platform.
00:39:07
Mike
Okay,
00:39:09
Austin
His
00:39:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:39:11
Mike
and okay. okay
00:39:12
Austin
truth's social.
00:39:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:39:14
Mike
But he could be expanding to a wider audience.
00:39:14
Victor Gaudiosi
That really... He doesn't care. doesn't need He doesn't need the wider audience.
00:39:19
Austin
Me too.
00:39:20
Victor Gaudiosi
He has...
00:39:21
Mike
I mean, it got Shadur Sanders drafted.
00:39:21
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:39:23
Mike
You know I'm saying?
00:39:24
Victor Gaudiosi
It did not. he it still took It still took another day and a half for Shador Sanders to get drafted after that, so...
00:39:25
Austin
They did not get him drafted.
00:39:29
Mike
You want to know the crazy part? Is that like during a White House daily press conference, and a reporter asked that question. They're like, do you think Trump's trump social media post that contributed to Shadur Sanders being drafted?
00:39:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, no.
00:39:42
Mike
I was like, is this really what we're wasting our time on? Like that's...
00:39:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, they they the White House is again, not going to get into it. I'll wait for Nick. I'll wait for Nick next week.
00:39:50
Mike
No, no, no.
00:39:50
Austin
Yeah.
00:39:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Nick, Nick, get into it because.
00:39:52
Mike
I feel like no, no, no.
00:39:53
Victor Gaudiosi
No,
00:39:54
Austin
I think we should.
00:39:55
Mike
This is where I don't i don't think this is going to work out.
00:39:57
Victor Gaudiosi
that's all right. ah I will say I, I think the press secretary took it as like a funny thing and she like kind of played it up as a joke, which.
00:39:58
Austin
think we should deviate from this.
00:40:04
Mike
No, yeah, obviously, obviously.
00:40:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Fair enough. ah But yeah, I mean, just.
00:40:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Jeez, every single day i find a little bit read like I find more reasons to just hate humanity even more. And this is
00:40:20
Austin
Tough one, tough one, tough one.
00:40:21
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. ah
00:40:22
Mike
We're to be talking about the good. You know, well is is there a website that talks about good news? like
00:40:30
Austin
i'm not sure I'm not sure that good news gets clicks.
00:40:31
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:34
Austin
Only bad news.
00:40:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. um
00:40:37
Mike
Well, I think as as as our moral obligations to this podcast, that we should, every episode, say one good news that happened in the world and present it to people so they know that there's the balance in life.
00:40:51
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't think that'd be that fun.
00:40:53
Austin
I mean, i think I think that that's worth exploring.
00:40:57
Mike
I mean, it may not be funny, but at least we know that there's, you know, some humanity in the world still.
00:41:02
Austin
Amen. You know what?
00:41:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, sure.
00:41:03
Austin
I agree with I support that idea. I like that. At the end, we just end with something nice.
00:41:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay, well, I'll think about it.
00:41:08
Mike
That's right.
00:41:10
Victor Gaudiosi
All right, we' we've gone to... I don't have any real would-you-rather questions this week, but I do have some... I have, like, two or three interesting ones.
00:41:21
Austin
Okay.
00:41:22
Victor Gaudiosi
And I think we probably should, you know, we should just end off on these.
00:41:24
Austin
Gotta explore.
00:41:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Actually, it's it's only two. So, you know, we're going to you know... We're going to go into one light one and then one... One not-so-light one.
00:41:35
Mike
I get like always, like it always does.
00:41:35

00:44:48
Austin
Nice. Was your pea like orange after that?
00:44:51
Mike
No, if but I'll tell you this. I don't remember peeing, so there's that. Do
00:44:56
Austin
I know you don't remember peeing. I saw you on the way out and I was also intoxicated.
00:45:02
Mike
you remember the spins? I got re reintroduced to the spins that night in the shower. i was like, that is stuck.
00:45:07
Austin
Yeah, you you called me the day after.
00:45:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Sure.
00:45:10
Mike
Oh, yeah, I did. Did I go to work the next day? Probably.
00:45:13
Austin
I think you did.
00:45:15
Mike
I think I did. All right, my five drinks. We got water, Baja Blast, Baja punch, zero sugar Baja, and then the Baja flash.
00:45:31
Austin
As much as I would like to say that that's off brand, I just appreciate that you have water on the list.
00:45:33
Mike
ah
00:45:34
Victor Gaudiosi
or
00:45:36
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:45:37
Mike
Well, water is essential. You know, let's just get that there. And then and so is a Mountain Dew Baja blast, is it not?
00:45:40
Austin
I'm glad that water is essential for you.
00:45:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I'm glad. Yeah.
00:45:45
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, so you got for no variety. you've got i mean, I get it that there is a little bit of variety having two different flavors of Baja Blast on there.
00:45:53
Mike
No, the Baja Flash is the pineapple one. The Baja Punch is the cherry one.
00:45:55
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:45:58
Mike
And then the regular Baja Blast and then the Zero Sugar Baja Blast.
00:46:01
Austin
think that you I think you should leave a finger open for whatever liquid medication that you're goingnna have to have for your diabetes.
00:46:01
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:46:06
Victor Gaudiosi
i think
00:46:07
Austin
Yeah,
00:46:10
Victor Gaudiosi
No, he just switches to the Zero Sugar Baja Blast.
00:46:12
Austin
of course.
00:46:12
Victor Gaudiosi
He doesn't have to worry about it.
00:46:13
Mike
Duh. Duh.
00:46:14
Austin
card
00:46:15
Mike
Duh.
00:46:15
Austin
Well, then he can leave one open for for the chemo when he gets his cancer from all of the sugar-free...
00:46:16
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:46:22
Austin
Maybe that was a little harsh.
00:46:22
Mike
Funny.
00:46:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:46:24
Austin
Yeah.
00:46:24
Victor Gaudiosi
That was brutal.
00:46:25
Mike
Yeah.
00:46:26
Victor Gaudiosi
God damn.
00:46:28
Austin
yeah
00:46:29
Mike
Fun fact, I hate Mountain Dew.
00:46:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:46:31
Mike
I've never had a Baja blast. Mountain Dew is like battery acid to the teeth. drank one when I was like 12. Disgusting. We'll never do it again.
00:46:39
Victor Gaudiosi
So, okay.
00:46:39
Mike
So I think my real five.
00:46:39
Austin
trump anyway
00:46:39
Victor Gaudiosi
So you, you did that as a bit.
00:46:41
Mike
What?
00:46:42
Victor Gaudiosi
You did that as a bit.
00:46:42
Mike
Yeah, it is I did it as a bit.
00:46:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh my God.
00:46:44
Mike
this is This is content. Are we here for content or not?
00:46:45
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay. Yeah. yeah We're here for content.
00:46:47
Mike
All right. So don't fucking look at me and be like, oh, you did this for a bit, you fucking idiot.
00:46:47
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, that's, I think, I think it is a little weird that you' you've never had a Baja blast before. I think you should change.
00:46:55
Mike
Is it worth it?
00:46:55
Austin
he
00:46:56
Mike
Is it worth it?
00:46:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Yes. I love Baja blast.
00:46:58
Austin
Well, then I want, hold on. If that was a bit, I want a real answer.
00:47:01
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. I also would like your real answer here.
00:47:03
Mike
I think I'm to water.
00:47:06
Mike
um gonna go I'm to go iced tea, but I don't know if I want it unsweetened or if I want it Turner's Southern Sweet Iced Tea.
00:47:15
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, you got to make a choice. This the rest of your life here.
00:47:17
Austin

All right. we're going let's save the iced tea towards the end. So we're going to water. what What are you laughing at? ah
00:47:25
Austin
Nothing. Finish your list.
00:47:26
Victor Gaudiosi
just Just pushing it off to choice five instead of making a decision now.
00:47:28
Mike
I'd love to finish. if you don't if you don't laugh at my choice number two, that'd be
00:47:29
Austin
Finish your list, Mike.
00:47:32
Victor Gaudiosi
No, I'm not laughing. i'm I'm laughing at the fact that you're like, okay, we'll push the can down the road and the can down the road is in three fingers.
00:47:40
Austin
Two seconds away.
00:47:41
Victor Gaudiosi

00:47:58
Victor Gaudiosi
But you need to have Aperol spritz, not just Aperol.
00:48:00
Mike
Okay, so let's do the Aperol Spritz.
00:48:00
Victor Gaudiosi
You gotta to make the distinction.
00:48:01
Mike

Mike
We're doing Aperol Spritz. I think I'm going to go amaretto, like an amaretto sour. Very nice.
00:48:24
Austin
Okay.
00:48:24
Mike
eight And I'm going to go unsweetened iced tea. I'm going to go unsweetened because I grew up on unsweetened iced tea.
00:48:28
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay.
00:48:30
Mike
and And if you really want, you can sweeten it up yourself as a sugar.
00:48:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Sure. but Yeah, that's fair.
00:48:37
Mike
Was that list better than my Baja Black?
00:48:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, what yeah it was. it was infinitely better.
00:48:40
Austin
Objectively better.
00:48:41

Austin

00:49:17
Mike
I mean, I guess I'm going to have to right?
00:49:17
Austin
yeah
00:49:20
Mike
I mean, like...
00:49:20
Victor Gaudiosi
It'd be pretty un-American you didn't.
00:49:21
Austin
don't know, Mike. There's no I guess. You need to definitively say right now whether or not you would save your country.
00:49:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:49:28
Mike
Yeah, I would. I'd love it.
00:49:29
Victor Gaudiosi
um like Okay.
00:49:30
Mike
I would do it.
00:49:31
Austin
Okay.
00:49:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay.
00:49:32
Mike
I wouldn't like it but I would...
00:49:33
Austin
and ah Nobody's saying that you would like it.
00:49:34
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. You don't have to like it. It's just, you know, you're, you're, yeah, you're serving your country.
00:49:36
Austin
You just got to do it with some gusto, you know? Right.
00:49:42
Mike
Does that count as service?
00:49:42
Victor Gaudiosi
It's honorable. Really?
00:49:44
Mike
I don't really know,
00:49:44
Victor Gaudiosi
It does. It counts. ah It counts as a lot of service.
00:49:47
Austin
It does. You get good medical coverage for the rest of your life.
00:49:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. They're giving you a purple heart. Yeah.
00:49:53
Austin
Yeah.
00:49:54
Mike
But just understand that if we do this, which obviously is the right answer, we miss out on so much American history. Like not saying specifically 9-11, but the after, you know.
00:50:01
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I think we could skip on a lot of this history.
00:50:06
Austin
Yeah, I agree.
Humorous Iraq Vacation Planning
00:50:08
Victor Gaudiosi
I think there are a lot of things that happened, not only for Americans, but also Iraqis and in others in the Middle East that we could have skipped.
00:50:08
Austin
at Yeah, listen.
00:50:13
Mike
Which is why why we need to go to a Iraq for vacations.
00:50:19
Austin
That would be that would be the dome heard around the world right there.
00:50:23
Mike
It's Walmart around the world. Jesus Christ.
00:50:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:50:28
Austin
That's crazy.
00:50:29
Mike
So, a Iraq for vacation maybe next year? and What are you guys thinking?
00:50:33
Victor Gaudiosi
and I cannot spend $2,000 on Iraq.
00:50:34
Austin
going to... It's going to be hard to justify that one. But listen, if you could do this, if you could, for for one of the future episodes, if you could put together a quick presentation about why it might make sense for us to do that, I would be totally down.
00:50:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:50:45
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:50:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:50:48
Mike
Wait, you Can we do that? You know that people do that, like all their friends get together and they present a PowerPoint and like we're at vacation. Can we do that?
00:50:55
Austin
Yeah, I think, i think, and you know, this is, this no, I think this is totally a compliment to you and a disservice to Victor and I, I think you would be much better at that than him and I.
00:50:55
Mike
No, no, no.
00:50:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Go ahead. You could do it for Iraq if you want
00:50:58
Mike
I think we should all do it.
00:51:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:51:06
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:51:07
Austin
I think that you.
00:51:07
Mike
But it doesn't matter who's good.
00:51:07
Victor Gaudiosi
We're here we're learn. You you present.
00:51:10
Mike
It doesn't matter who's good, who's bad.
00:51:10
Austin
Yes.
00:51:12
Mike
it's We're all supposed to give our thoughts on it.
00:51:14
Austin
Oh, no, no. In a private setting, it doesn't matter who's good and bad. and ah For content on ah on a podcast, it certainly matters who's good.
00:51:21
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. So you're you're going to give the presentation on why we should go to Iraq.
00:51:25
Austin
Yeah, we just love to hear it.
00:51:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:51:27
Austin

00:51:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Look that up.
00:51:58
Mike

What do you mean, which basis? Yeah, the fact that, uh, it's like five or six different countries have, like, pointed out the sea of tranquility, like, in their, like, photos of the moon is, like, a pretty substantial, uh,
00:54:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, ah you know, it's a substantial evidence. The fact that like ah that like nine people or whatever have like died, but probably way more than that. I mean, I'm like thinking about like Apollo 1 or whatever, the space shuttle that like ble like not blew up. But you guys ever hear about that?
00:54:22
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
00:54:22

00:56:41
Austin

00:56:41
Victor Gaudiosi
um
00:56:41
Austin

Yeah. No, no, no. The sperm race was like, it was an event that people went to.
00:56:47
Austin
okay.
00:56:48
Victor Gaudiosi
It was like in a, in some sort of hall or whatever. I think it was between, it was like a UC, it was in l LA. It's like UCLA and USC kids.
00:56:55
Mike
Thank you.
00:56:56
Victor Gaudiosi
um Basically. ah
00:57:03
Victor Gaudiosi
two different guys gave a sample and that sample would be put onto a a little micro put like a you know a microscopic thing and then allowed to travel to a destination with like a they built like a track for the sperm to follow and whichever ones got there first ah won the sperm rate
00:57:06
Austin
OK.
00:57:21
Austin
OK.
00:57:27
Austin
OK, so this wasn't for educational purposes.
00:57:30
Victor Gaudiosi
na No, no, this was an event.
00:57:34
Austin
How does that, you know what? Nevermind. don't even want to know how that works.
00:57:37
Mike
who funded this
00:57:37
Victor Gaudiosi
that ah i don't know. They just said the co-founder of it is 17 years old.

Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:57:44
Austin
That sounds right.
00:57:45
Victor Gaudiosi
u USC won. um They beat UCLA. And I guess people are finding out that they they didn't actually, race the sperm didn't race. It it was computer generated.
00:57:59
Victor Gaudiosi
So it wasn't even like real.
00:58:03
Austin
But they still collected the sperm.
00:58:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. And I think, I think it was, I think it was a little bit of a, um, I don't know, kind of like giving ah an awareness to how like sperm counts have been down in the past few decades because of, you know, microplastics and the the diets we have, uh, you know, was, it was a teaching moment really.
