Zack
Yep. Tinses cooking.
00:01:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm cooking, doing all right. Had a three and two Saturday. I was hoping to go a little bit better than that, but you know, some teams are cowards.
00:01:53
Mason
A win's a win.
00:01:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, up is up.
00:01:55
Zack
That's an act.
00:01:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's a green day.
00:01:56
Zack
Illinois on the list.
00:01:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, Illinois, you're definitely on the list. I knew it was cooked whenever they had, uh, they, they're retired. Now tell me this, this guy played for them last year.
00:02:05
Zack
Yep.
00:02:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So, um, Shannon junior or Tarrant Shannon junior.
00:02:11
Zack
Uh-huh.
00:02:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's his name. I'm pretty sure. Uh, he played for them last year. I think he played till he's a senior. Maybe,
Controversial Jersey Retirement
00:02:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know. He's a very good player. He's in the NBA now, but they retired his Jersey one year after being there.
00:02:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Is that a little quick? Like,
00:02:28
Zack
Weird.
00:02:29
Mason
Hmm.
00:02:29
Zack
Yeah, weird.
00:02:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But then also they they displayed it upside down so they should have just canceled the game right then and there like those bad vibes from the jump.
00:02:36
Zack
I would love to know who was responsible for that.
00:02:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Somebody's fired.
00:02:39
Zack
They they should have put them on a mic at the end of the game. Because what one of the weirdest mistakes you could possibly make
00:02:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh huh.
00:02:48
Zack
like how do you how are you doing that and putting it up there and no one sees it and is like hey you made him like that has to be the most one of the most noticeable mistakes you could ever like he stepped back to look at it and was like looks pretty good i just don't understand how that gets through like no one maybe he just covered it up right after he finished it because even for the reveal and that's why no one noticed it
00:03:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so yeah
00:03:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe.
00:03:13
Zack
and Immediately got covered up or whatever that just feels like One of the most egregious mistakes because it's so visible. It's like not as small mistake It's not like used.
00:03:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:23
Zack
It's like a typo for his name or something. It was you little hung it upside that took a bad loss More I was low
00:03:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:03:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
In front of a stadium full is a big time matchup with Michigan State in house.
00:03:33
Mason
Mm.
00:03:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like, how embarrassing. pra It was a prime time game like it was the big big 10 game of the day for Saturday. So yeah,
Which College Basketball Conference is Best?
00:03:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that's just it's a bad way to start.
00:03:45
Zack
Big 10, bad at basketball?
00:03:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Big 10 has always been bad at basketball Zach, but somehow some way we we crowned the Big 10 the basketball conference and let 10,000 teams into the tournament and then by the first weekend they're all gone.
00:03:49
Zack
Maybe.
00:03:59

00:04:03
Zack
Some people are saying that.
00:04:04
Mason
Hmm.
00:04:04
Zack
Some people are saying, ain't Johns good at basketball?
00:04:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Dan Hurley might've, let's just say, the Johnnies, the Johnnies.
00:04:11
Zack
Girls on 10's list, if you're in the Discord,
Jameis Winston: Beyond Football
00:04:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep, they are they are on one of my long shots. The Johnnies are playing 90s style basketball with Rick Patino looking like a mob boss on the sidelines, so.
00:04:23
Zack
It's kind of awesome, yeah.
00:04:26
Zack
I wouldn't mind a Rick Patino, ah Rick Barnes showdown in the Elite Eight.
00:04:31
Mason
Oh, man.
00:04:31
Zack
They'd be kind of sick.
00:04:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Why would you, why would you want that?
00:04:34
Mason
I was going to say, was Rick Barnes a record in the lead eight? Why would why would we want that?
00:04:40
Zack
Maybe you're betting on like Rick Patino dying on a sideline or something, maybe.
00:04:41
Mason
Is he making it to the lead eight?
00:04:46
Zack
Odds are not zero.
00:04:50
Mason
He's not going to die on the sideline.
00:04:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That'd be would be one of the oldest head coaching matchups Some old some old guys right there ah But yeah college Is there any conference is there any conference good at basketball outside of the SEC though this year Let me ask you that
00:04:51
Mason
He's a vampire.
00:04:55
Zack
It would definitely be. yeah But some legends though, legends. I'm just saying, I don't want that to happen. there There's a possibility. It's not a 0% chance.
00:05:12
Zack
I mean, ACC looks pretty down.
00:05:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ACC is bad.
00:05:16

00:05:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was a fun game.
00:05:33
Zack
That was kind of like a Elite Eight type feeling environment and game there. They're they're pretty fun teams to watch.
00:05:40
Mason
Rick Patino is 71 years old.
00:05:41
Zack
I think Rick Barnes is the same and he wrote 71.
00:05:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:05:47
Zack
71 is young guys. I'm just no one's no one's saying

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. 71 is the new 50.
00:05:55
Zack
I just know that Tim's is going to tiktok that and I'm going to end up clipped and I'm going to get roasted somewhere on the internet by some internet commenters about.
00:06:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We'll see if the the app I use will clip that or not.
00:06:05
Zack
Every time I say something stupid, it always ends up on tiktok somehow.
00:06:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:06:08
Mason
this is true you or me it's never it's never went tinsley says something stupid it's never nixie arnie's gonna be uh gonna be fired this season it's never that but that was a take that was said this season that was something said and he won the super bowl
00:06:12
Zack
Yeah, the keeper of the clips is never putting his own stuff on there.
00:06:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah
00:06:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I know that one didn't find its way. They didn't find its way on the internet somehow.
00:06:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Listen, he was on the hot seat. And you know and here we are.
00:06:32
Zack
um
00:06:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We'll see how he does next year without Kellen Moore. He's a Kellen Moore merchant. is it He's a coordinator merchant. I've been saying that.
00:06:40
Zack
but like
00:06:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've been saying he's a coordinator merchant.
00:06:42
Zack
He's been saying it guys Just for the Super Bowl against the Chiefs and Kind of crushed at Andy Reid.
00:06:44
Mason
Not doubling down right now It was all Kel Mors shoe him going to the Saints though that frame
00:06:53
Zack
Yeah
00:06:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He called a flawless office. Yeah, that was a that's a. So yeah, the last the last head coach of jobs been taken and.
00:07:01
Zack
yeah
00:07:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know why Kelly Moore do that to himself. The Saints is a bad job. They're like in the negative cap space wise.
00:07:07
Zack
Hmm.
00:07:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They have no quarterback. Kellen Moore actually Kellen Moore played against Derek Cardin College Fresno State in Boise State and Kelly Moore's team beat the brakes off of Fresno State.
00:07:11
Mason
That's a dead team walking. Hmm.
00:07:17
Zack
Hmm.
00:07:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And now he says head coach.
00:07:21
Zack
Wow.
00:07:24
Mason
How the turns table.
00:07:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
How the turns table.
00:07:25
Zack
Okay, we're we're kind of burying.
00:07:27
Mason
How old is Keller Moore?
00:07:28
Zack
Oh, sorry.
00:07:29
Mason
No, you're fine.
00:07:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know. He's got, he's definitely not 71.
00:07:31
Mason
He's not 71 years old.
00:07:33
Zack
so You know, he's also done inside on a pre-load I was pretty young um Okay, I know we actually have kind of a um
00:07:34
Mason
but Go ahead, Zach.
00:07:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Meakin only, he's a couple of years ahead of Derek Carr, I'd assume.
00:07:42
Mason
36 dang.
00:07:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:07:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Dang. Does that make him now the NFL's youngest head coach?
00:07:53
Mason
Let's look.
00:08:02
Zack
a messing around Monday type episode today.
Valentine's Day & Dynamic Duo Draft
00:08:04
Zack
We're we're moving we're transitioning into the offseason some. I have one more NFL thing to talk about though.
00:08:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:08:10
Zack
I think um we would be remiss to not mention the legendary run that our guys went on over Super Bowl week.
00:08:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh,
00:08:18
Zack
Jamis, an absolute internet superstar.
00:08:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Lord.
00:08:19
Mason
Hmm.
00:08:22
Zack
Super Bowl week.
00:08:23
Mason
Yes.
00:08:24
Zack
Um, it got, got paid to just hang out in New Orleans and do a bunch of little bits and kind of roam around the city, just making jokes and stuff. This guy's electric.
00:08:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:34
Zack
Imagine hating James Winston.
00:08:36
Mason
Imagine doing that.
00:08:37
Zack
That's his worst take of all.
00:08:37
Mason
I couldn't imagine.
00:08:38
Zack
That's 10's his worst take.
00:08:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't hate Jamis Winston.
00:08:40
Zack
He's a James Winston hater.
00:08:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't love how people treat Jamis Winston. like he is if If he's the backup on your team, everyone's always just like, oh, Jamis Winston should be the starter.
00:08:49
Zack
This is
00:08:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's so great. He threw 30 interceptions in a year, people.
00:08:53
Zack
awesome.
00:08:57
Mason
We never in a million years said anything about him as a quarterback.
00:08:57
Zack
Listen, we don't, yeah.
00:09:01
Mason
We're mostly talking about an entertainment.
00:09:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This is not me. This is not, I'm not talking about you, you two across the screen for me right now. I'm talking about the people on Twitter that are all the time. I'm like, James Winston's a top 12 quarterback. He deserves to start.
00:09:13
Zack
Listen, he's worth it just for the locker room vibes.
00:09:15
Mason
Exactly.
00:09:16
Zack
This guy. he He was roaming around Bourbon Street. He was making jokes.
00:09:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:09:23
Zack
He was serving drinks at bars. He was eating beignets and it was electric time. what ah What a good marketing move just to throw him out there and just be like, let's throw Jamis and just let him cook.
00:09:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was, it was funny stuff.
00:09:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:34
Zack
Literally just do whatever you want.
00:09:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a hilarious guy.
00:09:37
Mason
We need to move some funds around and sign them.
00:09:38
Zack
I think he's gonna be, here's my take. He's gonna end up being like, he needs
USA vs Canada Hockey Match
00:09:43
Zack
somebody else. He needs one other person, but I think he's gonna get plugged in like um Like Shaq and ah and and Chuck have been for the NBA.
00:09:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Chuck.
00:09:53
Zack
I think he's going to become that for the NFL. He's going to be like the comedy relief guy who just kind of says outrageous stuff, but it makes for...
00:09:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jamis Winston and Gronk on Fox.
00:09:59
Mason
Who else in Sherman? Oh, Gronk.
00:10:03
Zack
Who wouldn't watch that?
00:10:03
Mason
That's pretty good. I was going to say Marshawn Lynch.
00:10:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Now he's with Sherman. I'm good. Sherman's a loser.
00:10:09
Mason
Marshall Lynch.
00:10:09
Zack
but Marshawn Lynch, that would be unhinged.
00:10:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Lynch would be good.
00:10:11
Mason
and but but and No.
00:10:12
Zack
Could you imagine that?
00:10:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That would be pretty funny. You know that Marshall Lynch does a podcast with like two politicians out of California.
00:10:20
Zack
I feel like I knew that he did the podcast. I've never listened to it though.
00:10:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, like the two other hosts, like one of them's like a career politician and one of them was like. It's like like a news anchor. It's something it's like the wildest like three people doing a podcast you could think of together Yeah, he's been in a couple movies lately Love hurts Because it's got a guy from the Goonies who's like not been in a movie since the Goonies and that's I keep hearing that ad all the time on YouTube and
00:10:31
Zack
Huh. Weird.
00:10:35
Mason
He also loves to be in movies. Like someone. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, what was it?
00:10:41
Zack
He's in this one coming up, I think. I can't remember which one it was.
00:10:46
Zack
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
00:10:47
Mason
Yeah. Antonio Brown.
00:10:49
Zack
Mm-hmm He's been in a cup I hear that as well he was in he's been in a couple of things but Okay Not no he he does not need a mic that guy He's he's cooked
00:10:58
Mason
Okay. Listen to this speaking. Uh, how about this dynamic duo, Antonio Brown and Jamis Winston.
00:11:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't like Antonio Brown.
00:11:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he He has too much CT.
00:11:10
Mason
No, he does not.
00:11:15
Zack
Maybe a little bit of CTE is kind of funny, but you don't want too much.
00:11:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just a little, but a touch of it. He's got too much. I saw where he spent all his money. He said he's filing for chapter 12 bankruptcy.
00:11:24
Mason
Yes. Yeah.
00:11:26
Zack
Oh my gosh.
00:11:26
Mason
Yep.
00:11:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He was one of the highest paid wide receivers in NFL history.
00:11:29
Zack
Yeah. What did he do with all that money? That's insanity.
00:11:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's gone.
00:11:33
Zack
Okay. So I do think we, you know, speaking of dynamic duos, we have a draft today.
00:11:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh.
00:11:40
Zack
Uh, it's coming up.
00:11:41
Mason
We do.
00:11:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They call him the transition master.
00:11:43
Zack
That is what they call me. Mason said it up.
00:11:45
Mason
I did.
00:11:46
Zack
ah We are doing a dynamic duo draft. It's the first draft in a while. I'm pretty excited. I've been cooking on this one. We are drafting any kind of things that go together, ah duos, and so maybe in the spirit of a Valentine's Day as well.
00:12:01
Zack
We're a little late.
00:12:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:12:02

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, Valentine's Day all time made up dumb holiday.
00:12:04
Zack
Okay.
00:12:09
Mason
Should we get our takes on that real quick?
00:12:09
Zack
Let me tell you, I, I went into Kroger to buy some flowers, trying to be good husband.
00:12:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep. All right.
00:12:16
Zack
The amount of husbands in there buying flowers was just insanity.
00:12:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:12:20
Zack
Like big flowers makes it like a bandit. Big flowers and big chocolate and big jewelry are just like absolutely raking it.
00:12:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You go in the next day, it's half price.
00:12:28

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like, Hey, um it got down to you. Do you want to drive today? Last minute? I'm like, uh, sure. So I had to be one of those guys who went into Kroger after work at seven, seven o'clock and find a card and some flowers for

And we took that job seriously.
00:14:03
Mason
It's true.
00:14:04
Zack
So.
00:14:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So it wasn't for us, you wouldn't know anything that's going on in fast food or movies.
00:14:06
Zack

00:14:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So that's what we're here for.
00:14:09
Zack
took That's a fact. OK, so press release, let's get let's do some press releases first here. um My first press release is recent.
00:14:21
Zack
Last night, Team USA hockey defeated Team Canada hockey. So if you missed the match, here's what happened. um The Star Spangled Banner was booed by the Canadian crowd.
00:14:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:14:34
Mason
Hmm.
00:14:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's been happening um during all the NHL, like like when like the Maple Leafs play the Canucks or, you know, anytime there's American, the Star-Spangled Banner is played in the Canadian stadiums.
00:14:37
Zack
tough Yeah.
00:14:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They've been booing it. But last night, it was like big time.
00:14:51
Zack
here um Maybe they're mad about the tariff situation.
00:14:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm. Well, you know, it's tough getting a 25% tariff put on your head and then we beat you in your best sport.
00:15:06
Zack
Mason, do you want to break down the tariff situation for Canada?
00:15:08
Mason
I do actually. let's let's Let's give a breakdown real quick.
00:15:11
Zack
lets get ah So, after that happened, did they boot our anthem?
00:15:14
Mason
Could you imagine?
00:15:16
Zack
We don't need to go there. That that clip went up on the internet for sure. um Oh, he has to make the clips.
00:15:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh yeah, that's the AI's clip in that one.
00:15:20
Mason
Tinsley would have put that all over.
00:15:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't make the clips. The AI makes something that says this is, I don't.
00:15:26
Mason
Right.
00:15:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I really don't. I upload our YouTube.
00:15:29
Zack
Even AI knows we're stupid.
00:15:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The AI catches what it thinks will go viral and then I just, that's what it's for.
00:15:34
Zack
and This is a clickbait central right here. Mason breaking out of tariffs.
00:15:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But now that we're talking about it, it will definitely pick this up.
00:15:38
Mason
but
00:15:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So good job AI.
00:15:42
Mason
Mason said what about the tariffs?
00:15:43
Zack
No, it won't let us expose the AI. Okay. So after the, after they booed the anthem, there were three fights in the first nine seconds of play. Uh, I mean, it was kind of crazy.
00:15:53
Zack
It was just fights everywhere, which is pretty awesome. Um, I know Connor McDavid got a pretty good goal.
00:15:59
Mason
Mmm.
00:16:00
Zack
That guy good at hockey turns out.
00:16:01
Mason
Mmm.
00:16:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Turns out.
00:16:03
Zack
Yeah. Um, but then he got hit big a couple of times, got smacked around.
00:16:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a guy that doesn't get hit a lot, like that's the thing about star players and a chills, you don't really hit them because then there will be a big fight. But last night we didn't care.
00:16:17
Zack
Yeah. i Hit really the national anthem.
00:16:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We roughed him up.
00:16:21
Zack
Um, USA wins three to one and they played a free bird after every goal electric.
00:16:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Very electric.
00:16:29
Mason
It's a good song.
00:16:29
Zack
Uh, and that's a dub for the boys. Shout out USA is back.
00:16:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I kind of wish they would have played that Toby Keith song ah after one of them.
00:16:38
Zack
Which one?
00:16:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um We'll put a boot up here. It's the American way.
00:16:43
Zack
Oh, yeah.
00:16:44
Mason
bo
00:16:45
Zack
It's awesome.
00:16:46
Mason
that
00:16:47
Zack
This is my different patriotic songs at the entire thing.
00:16:47
Mason
was it I got to, yeah.
00:16:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I feel like that could have been fitting.
00:16:50
Zack
I like that.
00:16:53
Zack
Surely Greenwood come out and sing. um Yeah, Canada. I appreciate that we kind of, you know, you disrespect the national anthem.
00:17:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Stuffed them in a locker. Yeah.
00:17:05
Zack
Yeah, you, you can't do that mess. I like that.
00:17:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So I do too. So you boo our international anthem. We're going to stuff you in a locker. We're going to fight you.
00:17:15
Zack
who
00:17:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We're going to beat you at your best sport and we're going to still 25% tear off your whole country.
00:17:17
Zack
good Love it.
00:17:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Get rekt.
00:17:22
Mason
I saw where they pulled the goalie at the end and that's where we got the score and it was is done so. It was game over.
00:17:30
Zack
I think we just have to get much better at soccer so we can do the same thing in soccer, because that's that our weakness right now.
00:17:37
Mason
Not wrong.
00:17:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You know, I.
00:17:39
Zack
Like if if if Mexico booed our national anthem, they would just beat us.
00:17:40
Mason
Women's.
00:17:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think we don't we normally beat, I think we normally beat Mexico and soccer.
00:17:44
Zack
Soccer.
00:17:47
Zack
Maybe we do. I shouldn't talk about things I don't know about.
00:17:52
Zack
See, that's what's going to be clipped now.
00:17:52
Mason
speaking of that Zack break down the tariffs all
00:17:54
Zack
I'm just worried about the clips.
00:17:58
Zack
in
00:17:59
Mason
right I did actually have no you're fine
00:17:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh no, the last time we played, sorry, Mason, we lost to nothing October 15th.
00:18:04
Zack
Mmm.
00:18:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But before that, March 24th, we beat them to nothing.
00:18:06
Zack
Yeah.
00:18:09
Zack
I love that.
00:18:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So a little back and forth action with Mexico.
00:18:13
Zack
Okay. Okay. I wasn't completely wrong then.
00:18:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, only a half wrong, which is, you know what, that's fine.
00:18:19
Zack
I like that. It's pretty good.
00:18:21
Mason
I'll take it.
00:18:22
Zack
Adding average.
00:18:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
50%, yeah, I mean, if yeah, if you shoot 50% from three, you're a Hall of Famer.
00:18:25
Zack
You're an all-time mall star right there.
00:18:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So what are we doing here?
00:18:30
Zack
Bingo.
00:18:35

00:18:50
Zack
Argan hunt.

00:19:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I saw that like a hundred something Walgreens are closing this year.
00:19:11
Zack
I'm just kidding. I don't really go there.
00:19:16
Zack
Tough.
00:19:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
More than that. Wow.
00:19:19
Zack
Wow.
00:19:19
Mason
Yeah
00:19:20
Mason
A store called Joanne 500 stores.
00:19:22
Zack
Yeah. Crafts.
00:19:24
Mason
Okay.
00:19:24
Zack
It's kind of like Hobby Lobby adjacent.
00:19:27
Mason
Yeah. Uh, Kohl's 27 stores.
00:19:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I hope the cookfield calls close.
00:19:31
Mason
Uh,
00:19:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And ah if any of the people that work there, listen to this, you guys are really rude to your UPS driver. I'll tell you.
00:19:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah um It was one of my stops for a long time and I hated going there.
00:19:42
Mason
I mean,
00:19:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was like an in ofy I would get to their back door to drop off their stuff and I'd ring the bell and ring and no one would come and then I'd have to call the front store and they'd still be like, we'll be back there in a minute.
00:19:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, I can just not bring you your stuff if you don't want it. i don't Why do you guys make me wait here 10 minutes every time?
00:19:59
Zack
Good question.
00:20:01
Mason
So he hopes Kohl's closes is what I got.
00:20:03
Zack
Yep.
00:20:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I sure do.
00:20:05
Zack
He's preying on the downfall.
00:20:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I hope they all out of a job.
00:20:05
Mason
ah Quicksilver, all locations. ah Advanced auto.
00:20:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What's that?
00:20:12
Zack
I don't like this.
00:20:13
Mason
It's like a it looks like a surf shop type of.
00:20:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh.
00:20:16
Zack
Oh, okay.
00:20:18
Mason
Yeah.
00:20:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Not a big demand for in-person surf shops.
00:20:18
Zack
What a bummer.
00:20:19
Mason
No, I guess I guess not Advanced auto parts 700 stores the good old Yeah Why we have so many Well,
00:20:25
Zack
Wow.
00:20:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Can I ask about that? So Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly's, NAPA.
00:20:31
Zack
Yeah.
00:20:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Why are AutoZone, why are they always right next to each other?
00:20:32
Zack
Auto zone.
00:20:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All of them.
00:20:36
Zack
You know, I've always thought about this tense.
00:20:36
Mason
that's like Walgreens and CVS they're always across from each other
00:20:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're always ah they're always close to each other.
00:20:40
Zack
Why did the gas stations always go running to each other as well?
00:20:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, they'll compete on prices. Gas stations will like nickel and dime each other on gas. But like all those auto parts stores, they're all the same stuff.
00:20:53
Mason
And they're all next to each other.
00:20:53
Zack
It's almost like they're
00:20:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Laundering money?
00:21:01
Zack
Like by by being on X each other, that you're forcing people to to kind of make a decision and to...
00:21:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:21:06
Zack
Where if you went down the street, there would be an... If there's two right next to each other, you're probably getting about 50% of the business each. Where if you were in a slightly worse location, a couple of streets down, you may get 10% of the business and the other one gets 90 if it's in a better location.
00:21:21
Zack
so it's like We might as well just stack them up and just make people choose and then try to be a little bit better than them next door. And then we'll get, up we'll, we'll win all the business. That's what I would guess. It doesn't feel like a good idea though.
00:21:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, obviously not.
00:21:33
Zack
Still true.
00:21:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're closing like 700 stores.
00:21:36
Mason
700 The good old family dollar Yeah 300 stores this is a shocker on my list Macy's can't survive the online shopping It's honestly what it is, right?
00:21:37
Zack
Mesa bad and miss. That's why they're like, wow, probably shouldn't have brought our stores right next to auto zones.
00:21:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, family dollar.
00:21:45
Zack
Ripped my eyes.
00:21:49
Zack
Yeah.
00:21:51
Zack
That's not a shock. They're not all closing, are they?
00:21:53
Mason
Everybody's going on Amazon getting it cheaper and for free shipping, huh?
00:21:57
Zack
They're not all closing, are they?
00:21:58
Mason
66 stores, so no
00:22:00
Zack
Yeah, actually, I was just shout out to another podcast. They're in no way in competition to us. This is the Freakonomics podcast.
00:22:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The other way below some of the charts.
00:22:10
Zack
We're never we not that. But there's an episode about Macy's and the idea was that They were all going downhill and the Macy's day parade was like the most valuable asset that the Macy's corporation had like by far in that all of the real estate that all of the retail stores sit on was worth more than the company is as a whole.
00:22:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That checks out.
00:22:33
Zack
Like if they sold all of the real estate, it would be worth more money than the company's worth. So I'm not surprised by that.
00:22:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:22:40
Zack
they'll They'll probably keep their main location in Times Square, but I would not be shocked to see them. Yep.
00:22:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bite the bullet.
00:22:49
Zack
yeah
00:22:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Go extinct.
00:22:51
Zack
Rip to my guy Macy's. Mr. Macy. Tough break.
00:22:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mr.
00:22:57
Zack
Okay. Is that it, Mason?
00:22:59
Mason
That's it.
00:23:00
Zack
Wow.
00:23:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You know what you don't hear about anything closing fast food places.
00:23:01
Zack
Rip to those doors.
00:23:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And that's why we'll always have a job, boys.
00:23:05
Zack
ah speaker And big.
00:23:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We're always going to, there's always going to be news to break.
00:23:13
Zack
Okay. Speaking of breaking news, this is the biggest news out of the week. Probably, uh, Sony animated movie, uh, being produced by Steph Curry called goat. Uh, by the picture they released, it looks to be an actual goat who was playing basketball. The tagline is this kid Scott game, which is like a kid is a name for a baby goat.
00:23:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:23:36
Zack
So it's kind of a play on words there. Um, from the people who brought you Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse and producer Steph Curry. I literally know nothing else about this movie except for what I've just told you.
00:23:51
Mason
He sent that in a group text and I'd never seen a thumbs down more quicker. Tinsley thumbs down it.
00:23:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:56
Zack
not a fan.
00:23:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Not a fan, I'm not going to.
00:23:58
Zack
Is it because Curry was calling himself the goat?
00:24:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If that's what he's trying to imply, then like, yeah.
00:24:04
Zack
Is that why you thumbs down it? Why'd you thumbs down it so fast?
00:24:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I just happened to have my phone in my hand when I saw Steph Curry was the main producer of a movie and I said I don't like that Yeah, I'm just not a Steph Curry guy He has this golden boy reputation when he's out here throwing mouthpieces at refs and you know, he's just Yeah, he's definitely not putting up triple doubles at the age of 40 like some guys in the NBA I
00:24:14
Zack
isn It was just a Steph Curry.
00:24:16
Mason
I'm just down.
00:24:16
Zack
Okay. Hmm.
00:24:21
Zack
Okay.
00:24:22
Mason
I mean, yeah.
00:24:22
Zack
My last press release here. I've got two more. Uh-oh. Yes, Steph might be cooked a little bit.
00:24:36
Zack
Oh, okay. Well, you don't have to do this here. One day, 10th. I'm going to get, I'm going to, I'm going to bring on a ringer.
00:24:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
One day what?
00:24:43
Zack
I'm going to bring out somebody who could debate you. That's going to be awesome.
00:24:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What about Steph Curry being better than LeBron James?
00:24:48
Zack
No, about the, we know you're doing the LeBron thing, 10s.
00:24:48
Mason
No, LeBron.
00:24:50
Mason
and
00:24:51
Zack
You don't care about stuff. Okay. Um, next.
00:24:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We were talking about Steph, I was just saying.
00:24:56
Zack
Yeah, but you brought ah LeBron immediately.
00:24:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's cooked. I was just doing comparison.
00:25:01
Zack
Yeah.
00:25:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
One guy's 40 years old doing triple doubles and one guy's like 34, like his team's picking at the top of the draft this year.
00:25:02
Zack
i don See.
00:25:02
Mason
it's
00:25:10
Mason
He does this thing where he's like, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm just bashing the Titans. That's what he does. He's like, oh, I'm just stating a fact.
00:25:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No one brought up the Titans. What are we talking about here?
00:25:19
Mason
But usually you do.
00:25:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I'm bringing up the fact that lebron LeBron is way better than Steph ever will be.
00:25:22
Mason
It's either the Titans or LeBron being the greatest.
00:25:23
Zack
Okay, this is a Titans free podcast that we don't need to do this Okay, we're done, okay I have um my last press release I
00:25:24
Mason
yeah
00:25:31
Mason
How about Michael Jordan?
00:25:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason's the one doing it.
00:25:34
Zack
Uh, this, this got released this week. Um, and I think that they're going to do this for most, um, big pro sports, but there is an NBA app on the Apple vision pro, which kind of felt like it just died pretty much immediately after release.
NBA App for Apple Vision Pro
00:25:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:50
Zack
Um, not great, but it's pretty cool feature here.
00:25:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Especially for its price point.
00:25:54
Zack
First price point was bad. Uh, basically you are watching in the NBA game happen live from like up above it. And you're looking down kind of like you are sitting at like mid court, maybe like 25 rows up.
00:26:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like maybe you're sitting on this or like you're on the scoreboard, like, you know how the scoreboards in the stadiums are like,
00:26:10
Zack
No.
00:26:14
Zack
Mm hmm.
00:26:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
above the court.
00:26:18
Zack
Yeah.
00:26:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's like you're sitting up there somehow.
00:26:21
Zack
Yeah, it is. It's cool. I mean, it's a cool feature.
00:26:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It is cool.
00:26:24
Zack
It's got the stats and stuff. And you can kind of see the plot. You can stand over it if you want and kind of see the plays develop. um I can see this being cool for like Formula One.
00:26:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, that could be cool.
00:26:34
Zack
And that could be a cool thing. I think it could be cool for the NFL. You can watch plays develop baseball, maybe would be kind of boring, potentially. Some guy doesn't watch a lot of baseball.
00:26:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know how you can jazz up baseball.
00:26:46
Zack
So
00:26:48
Zack
Um, I think it's a fun thing. NASCAR, maybe. Sure.
00:26:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, NASCAR could be cool.
00:26:54
Mason
Something that needs like a full like and NFL watching it. They obviously have to stay on the quarterback because that's where all that but you are missing some of the if you are into like when we go see a game in person, I do like to sometimes ah like for a play or a couple of plays, I will have my eyes just set on like a wide receiver cornerback matchup.
00:27:04
Zack
Yep.
00:27:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:14
Mason
So it's nice that you could see it like when you're talking about NASCAR instead of just the camera falling like the lead, you can get the whole overview of the entire track. I think that would work for a lot of those.
00:27:22
Zack
see i think nascar i think it would be awesome to i think what we'll see is where like each car would have a camera in it and so you could like switch through the people so you can see the cars view and then you can also see like the overview of the track and where everything's at i think it could be pretty sick i mean i don't think that would be that hard to do just put a camera in each in each car and they already have those in there because you they flip to them where you could go and something crazy was happening like somebody's engine was blown up you could go to their
00:27:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See how someone's coming up through the pack or something, yeah.
00:27:24
Mason
Yeah, you're missing that.
00:27:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Pick the car.
00:27:35
Mason
That'd be cool.
00:27:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That would be cool.
00:27:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:52
Zack
and like look and see the reaction and stuff and you could, I feel like there's that's gonna happen probably.
00:27:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
pick crew or something. Yeah.
00:27:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. There, there's some good possibilities with that. I, I agree with that about football. It could be really cool because that's the one thing you do miss when you're watching it on TV is it's just on the quarterback and then like they throw the ball and you're like, Oh, what's happening? But when you're a person you like can see like, Oh crap, that dude's open. He's about to hit him. Like you can see it develop a little bit better.
00:28:17
Zack
I also think something that would really change that people perceive like the entire game of football would be if you just put a a camera like on the quarterback's helmet to show like what their perception is because I think people would I mean even for me if I watched it I think it would illuminate kind of like how tough that job is and what they're I think it would be I think it should be cool I've seen some like POVs before where running backs put have like cameras on their helmet too
00:28:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See what he sees. Yeah.
00:28:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's a tough job.
00:28:40
Mason
Thank you.
00:28:48
Zack
And it's very cool to see them like find holes and hit it and see their perspective.
00:28:52
Mason
I feel like they've done it in the USF or the XFL or the USFL.
00:28:53
Zack
I think that would be pretty awesome.
00:28:57
Zack
Yeah, I saw it in some league. I mean, obviously you don't want it to impact play or anything, but i I think it won't be that hard to just put it.
00:29:03
Mason
Yeah.
00:29:06
Zack
Even if it wasn't live, but if you could access it later or something.
00:29:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that would be cool. There's a lot of people that like would love to have stuff like that for like after like during the week, just like going and watching how the quarterback saw everything break down during the week like football.
00:29:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's an endless like wealth of stuff people will watch. People love watching like the behind the scenes of hard knocks of like the guys in the front office talk about contracts and trades like.
00:29:25
Zack
yeah.
00:29:31
Mason
Yeah.
00:29:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
there's There's no amount of content the NFL can put out that people won't watch. like Me and Mason sit and watch the NFL draft for 15 hours on a weekend, every every year.
00:29:41
Mason
Not wrong about that.
00:29:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like We watch till the seventh round and we're not the only nerds out there doing that.
00:29:46
Zack
True.
00:29:47
Mason
I like the miked up stuff where they mic up the players and they'll show the next seat and like they'll they'll record for the whole Sunday and but you do see it throughout the week.
00:29:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, I love miked ups, yeah.
00:29:56
Mason
That's why I make sure.
00:29:57
Zack
Because I have to like, edit it and cut it up and stuff, yeah.
00:29:59
Mason
Yeah, you can't get it live on the
00:30:01
Zack
I feel like that'd be the same with the video. I feel like they could do that.
00:30:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:30:04
Mason
For sure.
00:30:06
Zack
So just some ideas I've had, you know.
00:30:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If you're listening, NFL Zach is throwing his, he's trying to throw his hat in the ring of a entertainment management coordinator guy.
00:30:10
Zack
Okay. NFL, I'm willing to manage it for you. Let's implement it. Got some good ideas.
00:30:23
Zack
I do.
00:30:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know what you want to call it.
00:30:25
Zack
I mean, I'll change the game. Hit me up. I'll also accept the XFL, or whatever it's called now.
00:30:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Make sure you clip this ah chat GTP bot AI bot clip clip clip.

00:30:36
Zack
Yep, give me, make made me go viral.
00:30:40
Zack
Okay, were there any other press releases out there? I know we had some food for thoughts.
00:30:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I've just got a favorite thought.
00:30:47
Zack
Okay. Okay, food for thoughts?
00:30:48

00:30:48
Mason

Mason

00:30:54
Zack

00:30:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um It's back, it's back boys.
00:31:00

00:31:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The KFC Double Down Burger where the buns are fried chicken patties and in the middle is chicken, bacon, and cheese.

00:31:35
Zack
Hmm.
00:31:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I feel like this came out like around COVID, and that's why it didn't do well. That's the reason why it didn't do well.
00:31:40
Zack
Yeah. I remember it coming out and I was like, oh, that's something.
00:31:42
Mason
Oh, that's why.
00:31:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I remember us talking about it on a different program.
00:31:47
Zack
Yeah, same.
00:31:48
Mason
You know what, they're missing mashed potatoes for some reason. I feel like that would make it even better.
00:31:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ooh Put a little mashed potato on there a little mac and cheese maybe some mac and cheese Yeah, no this is it's it's a heart attack waiting to happen so it is and I'm definitely gonna eat one

Zack
Oh.
00:31:55
Mason
Mac and cheese.
00:31:55
Zack
Mac and cheese would be good, probably.
00:31:57
Mason
Yeah.
00:31:58
Zack
I could be in for that.
00:32:01
Zack
Fried mac and cheese.
00:32:01
Mason
Oh man.
00:32:05
Zack
I mean, there you go.
00:32:08
Mason
I can't wait for that food review by Tinsley. Check out our social media. That's where you'll find it.
00:32:14
Zack
OK, I got some more KFC news while we're here, actually.
00:32:15
Mason
This summer. Oh, okay.
00:32:18
Zack
KFC has launched its own private jet service called Zing Air. I don't know what the name means. Don't ask me. I have I have the headline here, folks. The service is available through a giveaway where winners will be using it to attend Super Rugby Games.
00:32:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:32:36
Zack
don't even know what there was a super rugby league. But if you go look it up, because you can, um you can get in on it. Why is KFC sponsoring rugby?
00:32:46
Zack
I ah truly don't understand that either.
00:32:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Yep.
00:32:49
Zack
Like I said, I've just got through the headline. So you know,
00:32:52
Mason
Leave it up to Zach to just read a most confusing headline that has no explanation of why they're doing what they're doing.
00:33:02
Zack
um Okay, it's actually it's KFC New Zealand.
00:33:02
Mason
Oh man, love it.
00:33:05
Zack
Sorry KFC New Zealand is three is that's why it's rugby It
00:33:08
Mason
Ah, okay.
00:33:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:33:13
Zack
says Fans of the super rugby in New Zealand have the opportunity to experience another world first Transport venture from the fried chicken phenom Wow, what a sentence KFC New Zealand has an actual private jet service and they're using it to transport a select future super rugby matches in the country
00:33:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That
00:33:33
Zack
Dubbed Zing Air after the restaurant's famous Zinger Burgers. I don't know what a Zinger Burger is, but I kind of want to try one.
00:33:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So this is this is just a KFC news.
00:33:43
Zack
KFC New Zealand.
00:33:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
OK, I'm looking up a Zinger Burger.
00:33:48
Zack
What is a Zinger Burger?
00:33:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I know.
00:33:52
Zack
And why is it called a burger? Have you guys heard? Have you guys seen that? Oh, that should have been a headline. Have you seen this conversation piece around the Internet lately?
00:34:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So this is just their what this is just how they call it a chicken sandwich.
00:34:06
Zack
Okay, so yes, have you seen the discourse um about making basically it was people not from America making fun of Americans for not calling a chicken sandwich a burger.
00:34:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
In New Zealand.
00:34:21
Zack
Like the whole rest of the world just calls this a burger.
00:34:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So the, but it's not a burger cause it's not a, it's, it's a hamburger is a hamburger is a burger.
00:34:31
Zack
Yep, that's the argument. I guess I guess internationally people call any kind of like meat like that on between two like rolls, which is like a like a burger.
00:34:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sandwich.
00:34:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like a hamburger bun.
00:34:42
Zack
Not like a sandwich, but unlike sandwich bread, but if it's like a buns, they call that a burger, even if it's chicken.
00:34:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:34:49
Mason
Hmm.
00:34:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, here's my counterpoint is America is good at food and the rest of the country sucks at food.
00:34:56
Zack
Oh,
00:34:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So we should be the leading people of what things are called. You ever seen those TikTok videos where the British people are like waiting a line for this, their food truck.
00:35:04
Zack
I can't wait for the clip. Clip it.
00:35:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And it's just a dude selling baked potatoes with baked beans on them. And they call that cuisine. They love, they eat that stuff up. Like no. They don't get the name things. They don't get to make fun of us.
00:35:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And if they want to keep making fun of us, we'll beat them at their best sport.
00:35:25
Mason
like hockey
00:35:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like hockey. Ask the Canadians what happens when you keep on messing with us. We will get good at your best sport and beat you at it.
00:35:32
Zack
Since got out the entire world's cuisine has to take folks.
00:35:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Clip that.
00:35:39
Zack
A lot of people might say that the United States has stolen a lot of cuisine from a lot of other countries.
00:35:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And made it better.
00:35:44
Zack
What would you say to that?
00:35:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We might have taken it and made it better.
00:35:49
Zack
um What did we make better?
00:35:51
Mason
Like hockey.
00:35:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
everything.
00:35:54
Zack
What made pizza better in Italy?
00:35:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Pizza.
00:35:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. tell They only eat pizza in Italy. They make fun of us for that.
00:36:03
Zack
What about like frozen spaghetti meals and stuff? I feel like our spaghetti is much worse.
00:36:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sure.
00:36:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:36:12
Zack

00:36:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's just marinara with a different kind of noodle and a different kind of meat. Like it's all the same thing to me. I'm not getting pumped for it.
00:36:31
Zack
He's not pumped for it.
00:36:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Not.
00:36:32
Zack
He wants to walk into a meal jacked up.
00:36:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And I was not. It was just, it's just all the same to me.
00:36:36
Mason
Not even alfredo or pesto or it's not just marinara He's out on it
00:36:37
Zack
but
00:36:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. It's all the same.
00:36:41
Zack

00:36:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's all the same. It's just sauce with noodles.
00:36:44
Zack
He's out.
00:36:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm always wanting something else right after.
00:36:50
Mason
That's me and Panera or salads. I'm always hungry after I eat those.
00:36:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's not real food, those are appetizers.
00:36:59
Mason
You already hear first.
00:37:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just like soup apparently is an appetizer. You guys hear that dumb ah Campbell's commercial with that idiot guy um who in the catch line is always soup that eats like a meal.
00:37:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Soup can be a meal, you dingbats.
00:37:13
Zack

00:37:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I had potato soup for dinner last night, it was awesome.
00:37:17
Zack

00:37:21
Mason

00:37:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that That Jason Kelsey guy that won a Super Bowl, that his team won a Super Bowl after he retired, wow.
00:37:33
Mason
Yeah.
00:37:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm out on Jamis Winston being named at top 12 quarterback when he's a backup.
00:37:39
Zack
ah Okay, we don't see the most popular guys like in media he made one comment with the jags and you're you've held it against him ever since
00:37:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I find, I find James Winston hilarious. Jason Kelsey is only popular because of who his brother's dating.
00:37:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, he made a comment about the people from Jacksonville.
00:38:02
Mason
but
00:38:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Our whole whole city was there' a bunch of dumpster dwelling people. When he plays in Philadelphia, which their fans are known for being just the worst people on earth.
00:38:13
Mason
whole playoffs, I just saw video surfacing of the fans just being so horrible and disrespectful.
00:38:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Philly scumbags No, that's what they call themselves they call themselves skilies Philly scumbags And he said people from Jacksonville are dumpster dwelling people just because our football team is bad doesn't mean you have to do that we We're talking about soup and then I talked about how soup can be a meal and it reminded me of that dumb commercial and
00:38:19
Zack
shootty they ah yeah i mean yeah
00:38:25
Mason
Love it.
00:38:32
Mason
Okay, how do we do this again? How do we go off on a day real quick?
00:38:34
Zack
We always end up back here somehow, I don't know.
00:38:38
Mason
Okay, yeah.
00:38:42
Zack
ah the evening Okay.
00:38:44
Mason
Sweet Baby Ray's is releasing a new sauce that combines two of its fan favorites, barbecue and buffalo wing sauce.
00:38:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm never more than six degrees away from Jason Kelsey slander.
00:38:50
Zack
fact That's a bad name.
00:38:56
Mason
It's called a buffet sauce. The new buffalo barbecue sauce features the smoky flavors of award-winning barbecue sauce mixed mixed with the cayenne peppered filled buffalo wing sauce.
00:39:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:39:10
Mason
It's barbecue with a buffalo kick.
00:39:13

00:39:14
Mason
Yes.
00:39:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:39:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not gonna make my own sauce.
00:39:29
Zack
You're out. on Frank's red hot.
00:39:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Frank's Red Hot is fine. i'm i'm not There's not really a buffalo sauce I don't love, but Sweet Baby Ray's is good. It's my go-to.
00:39:38
Zack
Okay.
00:39:39
Mason
A lot of that stuff for dry seasoning or sauce, you try to make it from scratch and you're spending triple the amount that it would take.
00:39:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah
00:39:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:39:47
Mason
And there's good enough and there's plenty of options to where you could buy it. And don't get me wrong, I'm sure making your own is great. But if there was just like a ah small market, but you could go down that aisle and pick from 50 different sauces or dry rubs.
00:40:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I love the I love the sauce aisle.
00:40:01
Mason
Go ahead, andm sorry.
00:40:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's like I even if I'm just going in the Walmart for like certain things, it doesn't matter. I'm going to take a trip down there and I'm more than likely buying a new barbecue sauce to try.
00:40:12
Mason
Yeah, because there's so many new different things to try.
00:40:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:40:16

00:41:21
Zack
ah um I mean, we're just drafting two of anything, so I don't know.
00:41:24
Mason
I thought about this beforehand.
00:41:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Dude.
00:41:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:41:30
Mason
We'll see what happens.
00:41:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:41:33
Zack
We'll let the people decide.
00:41:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Insert, insert Mason asking if we're going to do five picks right about now.
00:41:35
Mason
Zach, explain the rules.
00:41:40
Zack
Because it's been a while.
00:41:40
Mason
Wait, guys, how many pigs are we going to do?
00:41:42
Zack
um I might have to re download my spinner app.
00:41:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh no.
00:41:45
Mason
I don't know.
00:41:48
Zack
Okay, so we're doing a we're doing a true snake draft. This will be five picks each. There are no additional rules here, so we are just choosing um our favorite duos.
00:41:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:42:03
Zack
This can be people, fictional characters, foods, other stuff, football players, sports athletes, where anything.
00:42:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:42:15
Zack
There's literally no rules. So, um, that's where we're at.
00:42:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Zero rules.
00:42:20
Zack
I'm going to spin this wheel and we're going to see what the order is. Is this important? Is there one of one?
00:42:26
Mason
I was going to ask the same thing.
00:42:29
Zack
There's so there's a lot of, I have a, I have a long list.
00:42:30
Mason
I might reach on something because I'm afraid it's not going to come back to me.
00:42:31
Zack
So.
00:42:33
Mason
So let's find out what happens.
00:42:34
Zack
All right. Uh, choosing first is going to be Mason spinning
00:42:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason. oh They knew. The spinner knew. It's been a while.
00:42:45
Zack
second.
00:42:45
Mason
Yeah.
00:42:48
Zack
will be me, which means Tenz is on the turn with the third selection.
00:42:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh Yep.
00:42:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's good. I can get a vibe for how you guys are doing.
00:42:57
Zack
All right, folks. You ready? Mason, one-on-one.
00:43:05
Mason
I think it's because I know how much everybody likes this, this cookie.
00:43:12
Zack
Mm.
00:43:13
Mason
And I feel like nothing beats it when it comes to my, and just some in my general opinion of desserts.
00:43:20
Zack
Hmm.
00:43:20
Mason
And I'm going to go Oreos and milk as my dynamic deal, specifically Oreos.
00:43:24
Zack
Specifically Oreos.
00:43:27
Zack
Hmm.
00:43:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I had that combo on my list. I enjoyed some Oreos and milk today.
00:43:30
Mason
Yes.
00:43:30
Zack
I had had cookies and milk in general.
00:43:33
Mason
I don't know what we want to do about that. I don't care if you want to draft cookies. I don't know if we want to say, okay, it's dead Oreos specifically and milk, uh, just an elite combo.
00:43:37
Zack
No, I don't. It's dead.
00:43:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's dead.
00:43:43
Zack
Okay.
00:43:45
Mason
Uh, that's one of my favorites. There we go.
00:43:48
Zack
Love it.
00:43:50
Mason
Okay.
00:43:50
Zack
um
00:43:51
Mason
Pretty confident about that.
00:43:52
Zack
Okay, my number two overall pick. I'm going from the world of food as well. I'm trying to get a good combo of some different types of things here.
00:44:03
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:44:04
Zack
I am going peanut butter and jelly.
00:44:09

Zack
It's kind of salty. ah You get a little bit of everything.
00:44:24
Mason
Do you have a go-to jelly?
00:44:25
Zack
It's kind of a perfect amount of. It's not super heavy, so you can eat it and still feel pretty good. You can you can change it up with a different type of jelly and it pretty much always is going to be good.
00:44:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:44:38
Zack
Peanut butter and jelly. combo you yeah you just don't seem like they're almost always together as well you know like no one's gonna make it just a jelly sandwich or just a peanut butter sandwich not

What kind of...
00:44:41
Mason
Strawberry grape.
00:44:48

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I won't eat pretty much any other peanut butter sandwich um my on my sandwich.
00:45:11
Zack
You're elite? Wow. What about the combo where they make they premix it?
00:45:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's gotta be skippy. Never.
00:45:18
Zack

Some wings and football, I feel like that's a ah to go-to. And then let's ah let's get away from food here real quick and let's go with Ash Ketchum and Pikachu.
00:45:56
Zack
Oh,
00:46:01
Zack
o
00:46:02
Mason
Yeah, that was on my list.
00:46:03
Zack
that's a good word.
00:46:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They've been together 20 years, 20 plus years.
00:46:04
Mason
Dang it.
00:46:07
Zack
Wow.
00:46:07
Mason
Yeah.
00:46:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
every show, every movie.
00:46:09
Mason
I had to ride out ah for this pick if it got to me.
00:46:11
Zack
That's a good word.
00:46:14
Mason
ah The franchise consists of the video games, animated series, films, and obviously the trading cards.
00:46:20
Zack
Oh man.
00:46:21
Mason
ah The whole Pokemon franchise is worth up to 98.9 billion dollars in revenue. It's crazy. Pokemon cards we've been into here lately.
00:46:31
Mason
It's blown up even more. Nice pick, 10s. I was going to take it, but I was too worried about my Oreo. Was Oreo's going to come back to me?
00:46:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I was, yeah.
00:46:41
Zack
Yes.
00:46:42
Mason
Okay. Yeah.
00:46:43
Zack
would I want a big.
00:46:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I would've, I would've picked it right there.
00:46:45
Mason
Yeah. Okay. Good pick.
00:46:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oreos and milk was my number one food combo.
00:46:50
Mason
Yeah.
00:46:50
Zack
Wow.
00:46:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I love Oreos and milk.
00:46:51
Zack
Okay.
00:46:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's like me and Macy's like, when Macy was little, From like two to four, she was a really big mama's girl where like if Morgan went to go do anything, I had to be like, hey, we can have Oreos and milk since mom's gone.
00:47:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And that would prevent her from crying about it the whole time.
00:47:07
Zack
That's awesome.
00:47:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um So now, so now anytime Morgan's gone, she's still like Morgan had an open house today. And she's like, hey, we trying to have some Oreos and milk? I said, yeah, let's do it. Let's run it.
00:47:21
Zack
I like that. um Okay.
00:47:26
Zack
I think for my list, I really wanted to focus on things that weren't things that like went together, but both were on the, both were on the same level.
00:47:32
Mason
Thank you.
00:47:37
Zack
They worked together. It wasn't like a sidekick situation. Um, this is the one pick that and maybe goes against that, but I think it's a good, because I think both characters hold their own for different reasons.
00:47:51
Zack
And I think that they go together. My pick here is going to be, uh, one SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star.
00:48:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
o Okay, it's not who I thought you were about to go with there
00:48:04
Mason
No, I didn't think so either. I have one that I'm also going to pick and add this is who I thought he was going to be.
00:48:08
Zack
I've got a couple, I've got a couple of fictional character duos that I like.
00:48:12
Mason
No, that's the top one.
00:48:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a good one though.
00:48:15
Mason
Everybody knows me. I'm a SpongeBob SpongeBob fan. Yeah, that's a good one.
00:48:22
Zack
Patrick underrated.
00:48:22
Mason
Good pick, Zach.
00:48:24
Mason
Underrated. OK, I'm walking in my pick with it's going to be a Mario and Luigi.
00:48:26
Zack
Maybe the best part of the show.
00:48:33
Zack
Yeah, that was on my list for sure.
00:48:35
Mason
Is that who you were thinking Zack was going to pick? Okay. Uh, I also had to write up for this. Uh, obviously super Mario bros movie came out, uh, 2023, uh, this debuted in 1981 as original arcade version of donkey Kong. That's where the two characters were first showed up in. I didn't know if y'all knew that or not. Uh,
00:48:57
Mason
Obviously, the franchise has spawned over 200 games, ah various genres in several sub-series, including Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Golf, Paper Mario, and that my favorite was, it wasn't Mario Kart, but the what's the one, did I say Super Smash Bros?
00:49:18
Mason
Yeah, Super Smash Bros was also one of them.
00:49:20
Zack
Mm.
00:49:20
Mason
So that is my, I'm walking that one in.
00:49:22
Zack
Classic.
00:49:25
Mason
Classic, love it.
00:49:27
Zack
Would you have a second pick, Mason?
00:49:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's classic. He sure does.
00:49:32
Mason
I sure do.
00:49:32
Zack
Return.
00:49:34
Mason
The turn. Oh, my gosh, I feel like I'm going to get so much hate for this.
00:49:38
Zack
I probably should have put mine in order.
00:49:41
Mason
You know what?
00:49:41
Zack
Ooh, love it, Mason.
00:49:41
Mason
I'm going to lock it in because everybody knows this is me.
00:49:42
Zack
Where are we sharing Halloween?
00:49:44
Mason
Yes, Ferrero Rochelle and Halloween candy. I'm just kidding. um It's going to be a large movie theater popcorn and large soda. As my combo.
00:49:57
Zack
Hmm.
00:49:58
Mason
Or popcorn and movies, I don't know what you want to do there.
00:50:00
Zack
Yeah.
00:50:01
Mason
Tensely I know Tensely's thought on popcorn Yeah, I guess I was trying to group them all together ah like soda and Well, okay and the the the problem is
00:50:02
Zack
I had, I had, I had movies, movies, theaters, and popcorn. We're watching a movie at the theaters and popcorn.
00:50:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm Well, you got the soda in the popcorn I guess and you're looking at a wall oh People hope people just imply they know what you're talking about there.
00:50:16
Zack
Tough.
00:50:23
Mason
The whole issue is if I went popcorn and movies, you can't name me somebody that could eat a whole bucket of popcorn or eat popcorn without a soda.
00:50:24
Zack
ah the aloor
00:50:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh
00:50:32
Mason
So I needed the soda in there.
00:50:32
Zack
I'm covered.
00:50:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:50:34
Zack
I'm too cheap.
00:50:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think it would have looked better on the graphic if you would have just left off the soda because that's kind of like.
00:50:39
Zack
Like community popcorn.
00:50:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:50:44
Mason
Too late now.
00:50:45
Zack
That's tough, tough break for you.
00:50:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's tough. Because that's that'd be like me saying chicken wings and ranch like it's implied that I'm going to dip the wings and ranch while I watch football, but.
00:50:49
Mason
I still stand by.
00:50:54
Zack
true
00:50:55
Mason
You guys, come on, let me change it then.
00:50:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I didn't have to add that.
00:50:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Now you're like did not know the guy who's going to make the graphic too.
00:50:58
Mason
Let me change it.
00:50:59
Zack
It's good. It's good.
00:51:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's for sure just gonna say movie theater popcorn and large soda.
00:51:07
Mason
Make sure you put the large in there. It's gotta be the...
00:51:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Now I'm gonna do small.
00:51:09
Zack
Hmm.
00:51:12
Mason
What the?
00:51:14
Zack
but
00:51:15
Mason
I'm pretty happy with my list so far.
00:51:16
Zack
Okay. Interesting. Interesting.
00:51:21
Zack
I'm playing a game of like when I think other stuff is going to come off the board more than anything right now.
00:51:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:51:25
Mason
Yeah, I've been doing the same thing.
00:51:27
Zack
um Okay. i don't I don't think 10 is gonna take this, but um I gotta stay true to myself a little bit with this one. um I'm going chips and salsa.
00:51:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mmm chips is also Just had taco night at my house Yeah, it sounds like a triple dipper situation
00:51:45
Zack
Classic, one of the greatest.
00:51:49
Mason
I feel like we drafted this on something else before too, cause we had a huge little, somebody was trying to do queso, chips, and salsa.
00:51:49
Zack
It's, did I draft to this? That's a good chance. Sounds like someone tried to use a triple dipper as an applicator.
00:52:04
Zack
Chips and salsa. one of One of the reasons I love going to Mexican restaurants is just you get the big bowl of unending chips and salsa. Chips, you never have.
00:52:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Zach's tried to find the end of that bowl too. He he he put he pushes those Mexican restaurants to their limit.
00:52:18
Zack
They cut off. Yeah, you got to get your money's worth out of them. um It's just one of the greatest combos and I can eat it literally. If if I have chips and salsa put in front of me at any point in any time day, I'm going to eat them.
00:52:31
Mason
Zach, best chips and salsa.
00:52:32
Zack
So this is a personal pick a little bit, you know, so I stay true to myself, but that's my pick there.
00:52:38
Mason
What's your favorite chips and salsa from like a certain place?
00:52:43
Zack
I like the most generic chips and salsa from any Mexican restaurant, so.
00:52:48
Mason
Okay, there you go.
00:52:49
Zack
but specifically the kind that's at the table for free before you get your food. That's when it tastes the best.
00:52:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Chili's low-key has maybe the best chips and salsa also that Chili's once again, just just out here just being the best sit-down restaurant in America They
00:52:56
Mason
Yeah, I was gonna say Chili's.
00:52:56
Zack
Chili's is kind of fire. I like their chips.
00:52:58
Mason
If you have the Chili's rewards, you get them for free.
00:52:59
Zack
They're kind of thin and crispy. If you get the three for 10, use it as your Appy.
00:53:10
Zack
Love Chili's. If they would stop the inflation of the three for 10, they would be the goats.
00:53:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
made it three for 1099 that 99th century got Zach, Zach hot and bothered.
00:53:19
Zack
Yeah, just cowards. They had the best deal and in restaurants and they threw it away for 99 cents. I hope it was worth it, Chili's.
00:53:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, you know, I bet they think it is.
00:53:34
Zack
Wrong. They lost all my business.
00:53:37
Mason
You're probably the only one.
00:53:39
Zack
Good. Good thing I have a highly impressionable position on a big podcast.
00:53:44
Mason
It's a good thing.
00:53:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
we've We've interacted with Chili's positively, because every time they post, we get a notification on our TikTok that says, hey, you interacted with Chili's.
00:53:56
Mason
It all began with the triple dipper dippers.
00:53:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They commented on us one time.
00:53:58
Mason
Was it the triple dipper thing?
00:54:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's when they commented.
00:54:01
Mason
Yeah. and so
00:54:05
Zack
ten to pick do like that
00:54:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right, so um I'm going to, yep, two picks. I'm going to go with a fresh order of Wendy's french fries and a chocolate frosty.
00:54:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
because that is that's a good combo right there.
00:54:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Some would say elite.
00:54:26
Mason
that's good
00:54:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And then I also thought of one while we were talking and I didn't type it in here real quick and now it's gone out of my brain.
00:54:35
Zack
Oh no.
00:54:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So that's so now I'm really mad because it was gonna be a showstopper. So that sucks. So now I just have to go back to my list.
00:54:47
Zack
How do you guys feel about the Frosty situation right now where Wendy's just trying to all these new flavors? Is there a good, I have, I work with a guy um who is a, an elitist, like hardcore um chocolate only or else it's like a sin to America.
00:54:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and
00:54:52
Mason
I'm here for it.
00:54:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm here for it.
00:55:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, I guess you better move up to Canada.
00:55:10
Zack
Yeah.
00:55:11
Mason
I bought the little keychain where you get a free I know it's like basically it's a pretty tiny but it's still
00:55:13
Zack
It's a great deal. Yeah. It's a good lunch portion of a frosty though.
00:55:19
Mason
Yeah, but I bought it for two bucks and it's pretty amazing.
00:55:19
Zack
You don't want like a human this frosty at home.
00:55:23
Zack
Pretty good like Christmas gifts.
00:55:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
they uh yeah shout out well they've got the Girl Scout cookie one coming out the end of this month and then uh Thin Mint Thin Mint
00:55:26
Zack
But a bunch of them.
00:55:26
Mason
Yeah, I did.
00:55:28
Mason
I bought a bunch of them. Go ahead.
00:55:33
Zack
Oh, what flavor like what flavor Girl Scout?
00:55:35
Mason
I was wondering when it was coming out.
00:55:37
Zack
Mm. See, I'm gonna eat that.
00:55:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then, uh, snack was that shout out friend of the program. He released a video yesterday talking about how Wendy's is going to be doing, uh, candy add-ins towards like the summer where you can do like M and M's or whatever Oreos or something in your frosty swirls.
00:55:50
Zack
I'm good. Oh, saminams can be good.
00:55:58
Zack
oh
00:56:01
Zack
Huh, I don't know about that. It's kind of.
00:56:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You don't know about that.
00:56:04
Zack
I don't know. I feel like the whole thing of the Frosty is it's like a traditional. It's not got the fancy like blizzard type stuff.
00:56:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's its own thing. Yeah, I don't know that I want. Yeah. I agree. I think I agree with that. I like the new flavors like I like trying them, but I don't want like I don't want an Oreo Frosty.
00:56:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't think that's that's not the move.
00:56:20
Zack
It's also the reason that like McDonald's machines are always jacked up and stuff. I feel like we're headed the same direction. and Just give me the get to make sure the Frosties are on tap or good.
00:56:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I think they just.
00:56:28
Mason
Could be.
00:56:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think they just don't want to serve ice cream.
00:56:33
Zack
That could be true. Yeah, that could be true. I like that. I like the fact that the Shamrock Shake and the Frosty Thin Mints are going to be going toe to toe a little bit.
00:56:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ooh. That's true.
00:56:48
Mason
Sounds like a dynamic at duo.
00:56:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe, maybe McDonald's.
00:56:49
Zack
Some seasonal mint.
00:56:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so file I went through McDonald's the other day. They didn't have the, they had the advertisement up for the shamrock, but there's, you got to the mid you, it said unavailable. I said, Oh wow. What a surprise.
00:56:59
Zack
Shocked personally shocked um Okay tens that years they're both ears Okay I was trying to save you Billy out
00:57:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Personally shocked.
00:57:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That was one. Nope. That was just one. And then the other one was the one that was right here in my brain and now it's gone.
00:57:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So. Little bit. I was glad you guys hopped in and on that frosty talk with me. That helped.
00:57:14
Mason
He was counting time a little bit trying to see if he could.
00:57:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So now we're going to go with.
00:57:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We're going to go with pizza on a Friday night, Friday night pizza. You've had a long week at work. You're getting lazy. You're picking up pizza on the way home.
00:57:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You call the wife.
00:57:39
Zack
I like that.
00:57:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You say, hey, Pizza Hut is inbounds.
00:57:42
Mason
Does it hit different on a Friday night more than any other night?
00:57:45
Zack
This feels like a personal pick for tins, but that's great.
00:57:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:57:47
Mason
I was gonna say I don't I think I'm okay with it any night not just Friday night Zach
00:57:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Know on a Friday night you kick it off your weekend with a pizza pizza night a little movie action Yeah, you could have said it better you could
00:57:56
Mason
you can't you can't agree with this Listen he's gonna hate me about the hate give me hate on the the popcorn and the drink and then he's gonna say just specifically Friday night and
00:57:58
Zack
I mean, I don't think it's bad. I mean, I pick chips and salsa. I don't think everyone's going to identify with that.
00:58:08
Zack
I just thought you could have said it better. i like I thought you could have said movies and popcorn. You're good. That's a great pick.
00:58:12
Mason
But he could have said pizza and something else instead of just on a Friday night.
00:58:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But that's it's it's like it's a whole vibe, like our Friday night, we'll be doing this Friday night, oh, we're gonna have pizza, we're gonna, right, that could also be a thing.
00:58:22
Zack
Like tacos on a Tuesday night, maybe.
00:58:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But ah yeah, no, no.
00:58:28
Zack
Not for me.
00:58:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But pizza on a Friday night, is you're kicking off your weekend.
00:58:34
Mason
He was trying to sell it.
00:58:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's no sports on, there's no sports on, so what do you, oh, I'm sorry, on a Friday night, I have to, I'm not going out, um you know, Mr. No Kids, you're going out probably some fancy dinners with your your millionaire restaurant, so it's your six-packs, like no, I'm picking up pizza and we're watching Bluey at the House on our Friday night.
00:58:45
Zack
Oh, got him.
00:58:53
Zack
Oh, he's the working man's dinner right there.
00:58:53
Mason
yeah
00:58:58
Mason
Just on a Friday night.
00:58:58
Zack
Yeah.
00:58:59
Mason
Can't have the pizza on a Saturday.
00:58:59
Zack
Only Friday is amazing.
00:59:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You can have pizza whenever you want, but it hits different on Friday night to kick off your weekend.
00:59:02
Zack
It's dynamic duo on Friday night, Mason.
00:59:08
Mason
Zach, the fact that you're taking this side is ridiculous.
00:59:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Something special about it on a Friday night. It's just something special on the Friday night.
00:59:11
Mason
If I would have said that, you guys would have arrested me.
00:59:11
Zack
It's personal pick, Mason. Personal pick.
00:59:15
Mason
So it was my popcorn and drink and you all were like, wow, this can look dumb on the graphic.
00:59:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's just a personal thing.
00:59:16
Zack
You are usually going to go, are you going to go Mason? Are you going to go eat popcorn and a drink just like for your lunch hour on Wednesday?
00:59:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right, that's what you pick. You picked a movie theater popcorn and a large drink.
00:59:25
Mason
That's why I was trying to change it.
00:59:26
Zack
You specifically baked.
00:59:26
Mason
It was implied that it was a movies.
00:59:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, but you can't get all three.

01:00:51
Zack
I Hate the four I left on my board though was that was one mine on my list
01:00:55
Mason

01:01:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
01:01:08
Mason
Uh, just a funny, just a funny group, uh, dynamic duo there.
01:01:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a good one.
01:01:13
Mason
Uh, I could watch that movie right now and I'm 31 years old. or you could watch it when you're a kid and there's adult jokes in it, you just go right over your head. It's for literally anybody, but pretty funny Shrek and Ducky.
01:01:23
Zack
New one coming out.
01:01:28
Mason
My last one, I just, I feel like I'm gonna get booed out of the arena for this, but I'm gonna do it anyways.
01:01:33
Zack
Get your personal pig in Mason.
01:01:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

01:02:15
Mason
Like friend wise, not just a fictional
01:02:17
Zack
I like
Dynamic Duos: Kobe & Shaq
01:02:18
Zack
that.
01:02:18
Mason
character type of thing.
01:02:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

01:02:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

01:02:23
Mason
Thank you.
01:02:27
Mason
That's yes. And they've just done funny things. I don't know. It's just funny and they make fun of each other. They'll do impersonations of each other. It's just, yeah.
01:02:33
Zack
Yeah.
01:02:34
Mason
So there you go.
01:02:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And there's not like a ah third leg of their duo that has to be like implied that that's being involved in the duo.
01:02:37
Zack
Okay.
01:02:42
Mason
Correct. Also, you were talking about the size, ah Kevin Hart next to the rock, but if you've seen a rock next to the shack, like next to Shaq, the shot chiquel this shack, this shack, it's pretty funny.
01:02:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
the shack.
01:02:52
Zack
be said
01:02:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, yeah, he makes the rock look small.
01:02:57
Mason
yeah Exactly.
01:02:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Shack is like it just a humongous human being.
01:02:59
Mason
Yeah,
01:02:59
Zack
Okay.
01:03:01
Mason
yeah so there you go. I feel pretty happy with it, except for the movie theater part.
01:03:05
Zack
hey
01:03:07
Zack
This actually ah rolls right into my pick actually pretty well here. um I wanted, I really wanted a sports duo and I was thinking of the greatest sports duos of all time and this one just kept coming back to my mind because of
01:03:07
Mason
That's fine, that's whatever.
01:03:11
Mason
Oh, nice.
01:03:16
Mason
Oh, it's on.
01:03:21
Zack
Um, how they played with each other and how their games work so well together. Um, this was on my list before Mason did anything just now. This is what I was going to pick
Significance of Various Duos
01:03:30
Zack
here. I'm going Kobe and Shaq.
01:03:32
Mason
It was on my list.
01:03:33
Zack
Um, the duo, they, two, two of the greatest NBA players of all time at their positions, playing together, playing together at an extremely high level where it was almost impossible to stop both of them at the same time.
01:03:35
Mason
Literally right there.
01:03:46
Zack
Um, just an elite kind of matchup there. I think it's been done other times and there's been other duos obviously in the NBA, but I think their specific dynamic was pretty incredible.
01:03:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
nothing like them though
01:04:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and they not broke up like They would have won, who knows how many times. like They were insane.
01:04:08
Zack
Kyrie Anthony Davis, the next Shaq and Kobe, some people were saying.
01:04:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, Anthony Davis played one game for the Mavs before he got hurt. Shout out, shout out Mavs. Way to go, mortgage your future. You're a win now team, right? Win now, go trade for Anthony Davis. Mr. I never play games in a row.
01:04:25
Zack
That's what they call them.
01:04:25
Mason
Mr.
01:04:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mr. I'm always hurt.
01:04:28
Mason
mr I'm always hurt.
01:04:32
Zack
Okay, 10.
01:04:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've heard, I've heard him be called that.
01:04:34
Mason
So we didn't pick Tinsley's pick it seems like because he was not grimacing in pain, okay
01:04:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right.
01:04:34
Zack
Last pick.
01:04:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, no.
01:04:38
Zack
Okay, it's back around.
01:04:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, I kind of don't know if I want to do it because there's one I wanted to do. There was a personal pick, but I already did the personal pick with the pizza on Friday night combo. Um,
01:04:53
Zack
Amazing hates that dick.
01:04:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right, Mason's not allowed to have pizza on a Friday night, ever. Mason, when you have like six kids one day, and and Jaylen's like, hey, just pick up pizza on the way home. ah That's what we're doing tonight.
01:05:04
Zack
but No, we're cooking a five course dinner tonight.
01:05:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm gonna i'm goingnna hear about it, and I'm gonna say, no, no, no, nope, sorry, Mason can't enjoy the the easy Friday night pizza.
01:05:11
Zack
I'll go out to a restaurant and drop like a hundred bucks.
01:05:13
Mason
It just makes it seem like that's the only night that you can have it on, though, and I wouldn't take a pizza any single...
01:05:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, it's just, it hits different.
01:05:19
Mason
Okay, let's not do this.
01:05:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I'll take a pizza any night either.
01:05:21
Mason
yeah i I believe in you. You got this. What's your last pick? I've been curious to hear. Go ahead.
01:05:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm going to go I'm going to go with ah Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
01:05:29
Zack
Mmm, it's a good pick It's
01:05:30
Mason
Yep.
01:05:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just, you know, they've been together a long time.
01:05:31
Mason
There it is.
01:05:35
Zack
like opposites attract inspiration yeah same with Shrek and donkey they're like totally different characters, but they work because of that I
01:05:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Classic. Yeah.
01:05:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
01:05:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, little ying and yang vibe.
01:05:46
Zack
Like that I Have add at least three other fictional character duos
01:05:47
Mason
Did we have any outside looking in?
Exploring Duo Combinations
01:05:53
Zack
and
01:05:53
Mason
I want to hear it because there's a lot of them.
01:05:54
Zack
I had, I had Burton Ernie, which is one, it looks like on my long list, but I had two from the Star Wars universe.
01:05:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
01:05:58
Mason
Hmm.
01:06:03
Zack
I had C-3PO and R2-D2, and then I had Han Solo and Chewbacca.
01:06:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yup.
01:06:06
Mason
Yep.
01:06:07
Mason
I also had that on my list.
01:06:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yup.
01:06:10
Mason
I didn't think about that, but yeah, that's a good one.
01:06:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Long time pals.
01:06:13
Zack
Yep, both of those were on my list.
01:06:17
Mason
I had, uh, if Shaq and Kobe, well, I didn't think that my, the Oreo, I didn't think I was going to get one. I didn't think I was going to get what I got, but I also had, if Shaq and Kobe wasn't going to be there and I needed a basketball duo, I didn't know if it was going to be controversial to have MJ and Scotty.
01:06:35
Mason
Cause I feel like everybody says that's the dynamic duo of the and NBA.
01:06:39
Zack
Uh oh.
01:06:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That it was, that was a dynamic duo. Michael.
01:06:43
Zack
Let's not, we can't do this.
01:06:45
Mason
listen i was just saying i was just saying nobody picked it uh i think nfl is a little harder to do dynamic duo uh yeah i would have did
01:06:52
Zack
It was, yeah.
01:06:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I had Tom Brady and Randy Moss, but other than that, I didn't have any other NFL ones that popped off.
01:06:59
Zack
Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison.
01:07:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.
01:07:03
Zack
That's not, that's not but a graphic, but yeah, that's good.
01:07:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But that, I didn't think that would play well.
01:07:11
Mason
if you did uh head coach and you could then bill bella check and tom brady it was hard nfl you could have done you could have done cheeseburger on a monday night surfing turf on a thursday yeah
01:07:14
Zack
Oh, check it.
01:07:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bill chick and Brady.
01:07:15

01:07:19
Zack
Yeah.
01:07:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was kind of surprised. I would pick cheeseburger and fries. That feels like a good combo.
01:07:23
Zack
Also had hamburger and hot dog together.
01:07:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
01:07:30
Zack
This guy.
01:07:31

01:07:33
Zack
Surf and turf.
01:07:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Surf and turf.
01:07:36

Hits. hit
01:07:42
Mason
On a Sunday, yeah. A Sunday on a Sunday. You could have had an ice cream Sunday on a Sunday.
01:07:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This guy is just lashing out because I won't let him have three picks on the dynamic duo draft.
01:07:54
Zack
Mason, did you just want us to put in movies and popcorn? I think that's a good pick.
01:07:59
Mason
No, it's fine. I'll keep what I had.
01:08:00
Zack
I think movies and popcorn is good, right?
01:08:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that'd have been a great pick. I would have been like, Oh, wow.
01:08:04
Zack
It's on my list.
01:08:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You want just won the draft, but instead you had to have the soda.
01:08:09
Mason
i Just couldn't imagine sitting and watching a movie without the soda eating a whole bucket of popcorn. I've been so thirsty Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna do that I just want I like the characters I thought my like the fact that was able to get Mario Luigi and Shrek and donkey like I felt like I like that more than the movie combo It's sure I should have done that
01:08:16
Zack
Mason, Infinity War Endgame?
01:08:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Surprised you didn't go there.
01:08:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thanos and Infinity Stones.
01:08:33
Zack
Thanos and killing half of the universe.
01:08:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He did do that.
01:08:38
Zack
Something there.
01:08:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He wasn't a bad guy. Some people have said.
01:08:41
Mason
Who would have been I was having trouble with a duo in the Marvel Universe because I was accused like the best duo. And the only one I could think of was Rocket and Groot as like the best duo, surprisingly.
01:08:52
Zack
Yeah. I mean Batman and Robin was there.
01:08:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But that's like side kicky.
01:08:56
Zack
It's more of a sidekick which is why I didn't do it.
01:08:57
Mason
DC. Yeah.
01:08:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
01:09:00
Zack
um I guess you could do Joker and Harley.
01:09:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they're partners.
01:09:08
Mason
I heard that that second movie didn't do so hot. Did we talk about this?
01:09:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, it was a musical.
01:09:12
Zack
Probably because it never should have been made.
01:09:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think we did.
01:09:15
Mason
Yeah.
01:09:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I did ah White Monster energy drinks and myself.
