00:00:28
Victor Gaudiosi
What is up? Welcome back to Laundering the Basement, episode 138. I realized I went out of order this week, so...
00:00:37

but Last time it was 139. Hey, hey.
00:00:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, so, this is 138, but it was, this is being recorded after 139, so... I don't know, fucking deal with it, I just, you know...
00:00:48
Mike
like anybody Like anybody's going to know.
00:00:48
Austin
what you
00:00:49
Mike
I mean, i feel like I feel like nobody's paying attention to the number anyways.
00:00:50
Victor Gaudiosi
and that's I don't know, you know...
00:00:54
Mike
I mean, maybe the next one we do 167, you know?
00:00:54
Austin

00:00:55
Victor Gaudiosi
Probably not.
00:00:57
Austin
We all care, Vic.
00:00:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Probably not, but...
00:00:58
Austin
What is this?
00:01:00
Mike
Well, yeah, we of course we care. But I mean, people, I'm sure people care about the content, not about the number, you know?
00:01:07
Austin

00:01:10
Victor Gaudiosi
What? No, I'm fine.
00:01:12
Mike
Oh, I see what you're saying. You're saying he sounded a little disappointed that it was it was not in chronological order?
00:01:18
Austin
wasn't even about that. He just sounded sad.
00:01:20
Victor Gaudiosi
No, was going say, i don't care about it not being in chronological order. We still haven't released an episode 100 yet, so...
00:01:26

00:03:18
Mike
So we're in the Uber. And I was like, ah, let me listen to this voicemail. And he was like, oh, you piece of shit. You can't pick up the phone because you're beating your meat, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:28
Mike
And I was like, this was a great this is a great voicemail to listen to right next to my mother.
00:03:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Nice.
00:03:32
Mike
so
00:03:33
Austin
Hey, listen. Hey, listen. Let's go. Let's roll roll it back. For those that have been listening, I once made a similar complaint about how at any point that can get played and it wouldn't be a big deal.
00:03:47
Austin

00:03:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, yeah, exactly.

00:03:51
Austin

Victor Gaudiosi
The voicemail? Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:11
Mike

00:04:17
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:04:18
Mike
an old man, you know. I'm old.
00:04:24
Mike
I missed one return call and now you don't pick up? All right. Okay. Well, I'm going to be driving for another hour. Feel free to call me back if you're done meeting your meat.
00:04:41
Mike
All right. ah talk to you so And second of all, let me tell you about that voice. well What didn't make me feel good? What didn't make me feel good is he's just calling me because he's driving for another hour and has nothing else to do.
00:04:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Hold on, hold It seems like you had called him first and he was returning your call.
00:04:57
Austin
Yeah.
00:04:58
Mike
Did I call you first?
00:04:59
Austin
Yeah, you did.
00:04:59
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:04:59
Austin
You called me.
00:05:00
Victor Gaudiosi
the The beginning of that voicemail says, I'm returning your call. Or it says, of course, you don't pick up when I'm returning your call. If you want to talk, I have another hour. That's basically what he was saying.
00:05:11
Mike
The last time I called Austin was on...
00:05:15
Mike
ah No, that's what we...
00:05:16
Austin
it might have been It might have been what I was saying was I missed one call from you and now you don't pick up anymore.
00:05:21
Mike
Yes, he... Yeah, he was returning my phone call from March 17th, 2023. And I think that's what he was trying to say.
00:05:28
Austin
Jesus Christ.
00:05:29
Mike
Yeah.
00:05:29
Austin
Jesus Christ.
00:05:29
Mike
So, you know, i'm I'm glad to know that, you know, my friends only have time to call when they have nothing else going on.
00:05:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay.
00:05:34
Austin
Also, ah if everybody would like to know what...
00:05:35
Mike
That's great. Thank you so much.
00:05:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Hey, no, you know you know what I'll say?
00:05:36
Mike
Appreciate it.
00:05:39
Austin
Go ahead, Vic.
00:05:40
Victor Gaudiosi
What I will say is I think driving is the most opportune
Podcast Call-In Ideas
00:05:43
Victor Gaudiosi
time to call.
00:05:44
Austin
Agreed.
00:05:45
Victor Gaudiosi
What else am I doing?
00:05:45
Austin
That's when I call everybody.
00:05:46
Victor Gaudiosi
i got nothing going on.
00:05:47
Mike
Listen, i'm i'm not disagreeing I'm not disagreeing, but how come that's the theme?
00:05:48
Victor Gaudiosi
I got free time.
00:05:51
Mike
How how come that's the only time I get the call?
00:05:52
Austin
Mike, hold on. This is crazy. Mike is like like like a little housewife that has nothing to do, right, and is waiting to be, you know, like, attention, please.
00:06:02
Austin
Because now not only do I have to contact Mike, but there's conditions to how I contact Mike and make sure that it means something to him when I call.
00:06:02
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:06:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:06:11
Mike
That's right. I want to feel special when you call.
00:06:13
Victor Gaudiosi
You should be lucky that I'm calling it all.
00:06:13
Mike
All right.
00:06:13
Austin
i want I have to. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:15
Mike
not not Not feeling like, ah well, I got to drive, so I guess I'll call Mike, you know?
00:06:19
Austin
No, it's got to be like, ah, you know what? Hey, Mike, ah you know, ah sorry you couldn't pick up. um It's just me. My grandmother's in the hospital, but I thought I would give you a call right now just to make sure that you know that you're more important.
00:06:33
Mike
i'm waiting I'm waiting for the one where it's like, hey man, it's me, Austin. ah Victor didn't pick up the phone, so I figured I'd give you a call. you know Call me back. I'm like, scumbag.
00:06:44
Austin
ah Sitting on the toilet, thought of you.
00:06:46
Mike
Yeah, sit on the toilet.
00:06:47
Austin
I'll give you a call.
00:06:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:06:48
Mike
Vic didn't answer. He's busy. Thought I'd give you a call. you know
00:06:51
Austin
Mike, you're projecting. You got a slow down, dude.
00:06:53
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:06:56
Mike
Fine. Fine. Anyway, i did I did like the episode. I did like it. um
00:07:01
Austin
ah The people liked it, too.
00:07:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
NFL Draft Analysis
00:07:03
Mike
um Crazy ah how it all happened for Shadur Sanders. um Obviously, I didn't pay too too much attention, but every notification I got ah very revolved around Shadur Sanders.
00:07:10
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:07:16
Mike
Crazy how he ended up at the Browns, who really didn't need a quarterback.
00:07:19
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, ah I was going to talk about that a little bit. Like, ah I really thought, like, we recorded it Friday morning, and I was like, oh, he's probably going to go the first pick of the second round Friday night.
00:07:29
Mike
Psych.
00:07:29
Austin
Nope. Nope.
00:07:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Nope. We dropped all the way to the fifth.
00:07:32
Austin
He didn't.
00:07:33
Victor Gaudiosi
And
00:07:33
Austin
He dropped and he only got picked up because Donnie T put out a little post for him.
00:07:36
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah I think that made things worse, to be honest.
00:07:39
Austin
Probably. Mike
00:07:40
Mike
Okay, so is that a real tweet? Sometimes I can't tell if Big 47 is really throwing them out or not, you know?
00:07:42
Victor Gaudiosi
Yes.
00:07:43
Austin
was always real.
00:07:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:07:47
Victor Gaudiosi
He is.
00:07:47
Austin
He's always throwing them out.
00:07:48
Victor Gaudiosi
Those are, yeah. that That was a real, a real, but not a not a tweet, by the way, a real truth social post from, from yeah, Big 47.
00:07:55
Mike
yeah over my Of course, forgive me, forgive me.
00:07:56
Austin
Right. From our Lord and Savior.
00:08:00
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, um yeah I mean, i think it's just a case of the talent not outweighing the baggage.
00:08:10
Austin
Yeah.
00:08:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, I think, I don't really knock him. I think a lot of it comes with probably, His dad saying before the draft, like, we're going to certain teams.
00:08:22
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, don't pick my son. You know, if, like, you're a bad city or, like, you know, like, you're a bad, like, a poorly run franchise, like, we're not going to play for you.
00:08:34
Victor Gaudiosi
And i think he took a lot of flack for that. I heard the interviews that he gave were pretty bad where – um I saw something today where he was like tested on some sort of like knowledge.
00:08:49
Victor Gaudiosi
um Didn't have ah ah good answer for that, like part of the interview and then kind of made it known that he was upset that he was asked about football at the football interview.
00:09:02
Mike
Jesus. she
00:09:02
Austin
so So it's like a personality thing?
00:09:05
Victor Gaudiosi
It, I think it's very much a personality thing. And on top of that, he, He's good at football. Like, I think a lot of bad quarterbacks got drafted over him. um But it's one of those things where he's not good enough to be like.
00:09:23
Victor Gaudiosi
He's not good enough to put up with what he comes with and like the potential problems he would cause, because I think a lot of guys, i think a lot of teams look at this guy as. a project where he's going to need a year or two to develop at like into an NFL quarterback. And he might be a really good backup who can probably win you some games as a starter.
00:09:43
Victor Gaudiosi
But if he's going to be like a nuisance in the locker room or a nuisance in the media, like if you're just thinking, Oh, I'm taking this guy as a backup.
00:09:55
Victor Gaudiosi
Like why would you take a backup who might cause you headaches?
00:10:00
Austin
Right.
00:10:00
Mike
Right, exactly.
00:10:01
Victor Gaudiosi
So I don't think he should have fell to the fifth round. I don't know if teams were colluding or if it really was just that bad of an interview that teams didn't want to take the risk. But like what I would say is that it mainly I think rot like kind of stays with the talent because there are much worse character guys in this draft that were taken.
00:10:27
Victor Gaudiosi
because they have a talent like they're a bunch of there's a couple guys who are taken in the first and second round who have like sexual assault allegations against them but were taken early because they're good players you know mean so the nfl is not really averse to taking bad character guys i don't think it was ever about
00:10:39
Mike
jesus
00:10:42
Austin
Yeah.
00:10:42
Mike
Right.
00:10:42
Austin
Yeah.
00:10:50
Victor Gaudiosi
um the character as much like it obviously played a massive role into it but when people don't think that you're that good of a quarterback and then you come with character issues why like that like why would they take you and it sucks like if the Steelers had taken him in like the fourth round I would have fine with it I wouldn't have cared ah but they chose not to so it is what it is um I'm sure he'll do fine he's in the Browns quarterback room which
00:11:01
Austin
yeah
00:11:05
Austin
yeah
00:11:18
Victor Gaudiosi
ah has a lot of fucking terrible quarterbacks. So i think there's a good chance he can be like second on the depth chart or even like win the starting job, to be honest.
00:11:22
Austin
and
00:11:28
Victor Gaudiosi
um The only thing I thought about like that was stupid was the fact that the Browns took a worse quarterback in round three.
00:11:37
Mike
Before him.
00:11:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, they took. And I mean, that's great. As a Steelers fan, that's fine. Like they could take I want them to take as many bad picks as they can.
00:11:45
Mike
Amen, brother.
00:11:45
Victor Gaudiosi
But if if you were already cool with drafting Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders, why not draft a good player in round three and then take whichever – like Dylan Gabriel would have been there in the fifth round.
00:11:46
Mike
Amen.
00:12:00
Mike
Exactly.
00:12:00
Austin
and like Sounds like Shador would have been there in whatever round that they wanted him.
00:12:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Will he – yeah, i I think so because there were really only a couple teams that needed quarterback, and the Browns were one of them.
00:12:11
Austin
Yeah.
00:12:13
Victor Gaudiosi
And – Literally all 31 other teams had passed. um
00:12:18
Mike
But why do the Browns need a quarterback, though? Look at their room before the draft.
00:12:23
Victor Gaudiosi
It's awful. Of course, what are you talking about? They need a quarterback.
00:12:26
Mike
I know, but they already had they already have three that all can that all can play.
00:12:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Just three three very shitty quarterbacks.
00:12:32
Mike
Yes, I'm not saying they're great, but what I'm saying is, like, what do they need five in the room for, you know?
00:12:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Because you're going to cut three of them or two of them before the season starts. You're going let five guys. Well, but granted, one of the guys isn't going to play. Deshaun Watson has the torn Achilles. Praise the Lord.
00:12:51
Victor Gaudiosi
He's not playing next year.
00:12:52
Mike
Oh, he's out for the season again.
00:12:55
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, he retore the Achilles. He tore his Achilles last year. And then during the rehab. No, no, no. Austin, it's fine.
00:13:02
Austin
I just mean for him, not... not Oh, God.
00:13:03
Victor Gaudiosi
No, no, no. That's good. It's good.
00:13:05
Mike
good for Steeler fans.
00:13:07
Victor Gaudiosi
No, it's it's good for everybody. Austin, if you don't know who Deshaun Watson is, he is a man with like 27 sexual assault allegations levied against him.
00:13:09
Mike
No.
00:13:15
Victor Gaudiosi
He was in massage parlors, basically like revealing himself, ah touching himself, like asking women for sexual like favors, being very, very creepy.
00:13:21
Mike
Yeah.
00:13:28
Mike
And then while all that was like being revealed going down, the Browns gave him a massive contract.
00:13:33
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, the Browns gave him $230 million dollars guaranteed.
00:13:37
Mike
Yeah.
00:13:37
Austin
god
00:13:38
Mike
With all that going down, the Browns like, that's our guy.
00:13:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:13:41
Mike
And then took him.
00:13:41
Victor Gaudiosi
The Browns knew the Browns knew like of the allegations. They were all public before he moved to the Browns. He got suspended for a year.
00:13:49
Austin
Welcome to America. Right.
00:13:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Which again is why I said the NFL is not averse to draft some, you know, to have some very bad character guys.
00:13:56
Austin
Right.
00:13:59
Victor Gaudiosi
It was the fact that the bad character didn't outweigh the talent. If the talent outweighed the character issues for Shador, and granted, I don't even think they're bad character issues in my opinion.
00:14:02
Mike
Right.
00:14:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Him being just like, i guess a little bit of a dickhead in interviews is not as bad as him like having sexual sorry ah assault allegations. are like um There are other dudes who have like domestic violence stuff or like armed robbery and shit.
00:14:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, he's just a dick, which, like, is fine, in my opinion.
00:14:26
Austin
Yeah,
00:14:32
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, don't know.
00:14:33
Austin
yeah I mean, also, is there just some bad faith, too, between Dion and some of these guys?
00:14:34
Victor Gaudiosi
it's It's weird how they grade some of this stuff, in my opinion.
00:14:41
Victor Gaudiosi
I think a lot of it's, like, bad faith, too.
00:14:42
Mike
i think I think partially Deion set his kids up for a little bit of failure, too.
00:14:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:14:49
Austin
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:49
Mike
I mean, it it has to it has to be a little equate to that. But also, if you're bombing if you're bombing football interviews with organizations, that's also on you. You know what I'm saying?
00:14:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:14:59
Mike
Like, that's on you.
00:15:00
Austin
Yep.
00:15:00
Mike
But I also think that primetime did set a standard that not many people agree with. Yeah.
00:15:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. And like, here's the thing, like Eli did the same shit in 2004, but Eli was also like the clear cut number one quarterback.
00:15:12
Mike
Yeah, he did.
00:15:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Obviously I think Ben and Phillip rivers are both better than him as a player, but in that moment of time, Like Eli was like the best quarterback out of the three, which is why he went number one overall, even though he told the Chargers he wasn't going to go there.
00:15:33
Victor Gaudiosi
You know what I'm saying? Like he forced his way out, forced his way onto a different team.
00:15:34
Austin
Sure.
00:15:38
Victor Gaudiosi
And I think I, again, i don't, I was too young to know how much shit he got for that in 2004, but I would be saying the same exact stuff now. If that had happened, like giving him shit for it.
00:15:52
Victor Gaudiosi
But I think, again, people gave him a pass because he was one, a Manning and two, like the clear cut best quarterback. If Shador was the clear cut best quarterback in this class, he would have taken he would have been picked one dot one.
00:16:05
Mike
you Yeah, be different. Yeah, 100%.
00:16:08
Victor Gaudiosi
But I don't think people saw it that way.
00:16:10
Mike
And then also Eli Manning went on to win some Super
00:16:10
Victor Gaudiosi
And clearly not. because
Critiquing the NFL Draft
00:16:13
Mike
Bowls and all that.
00:16:14
Mike
So at all it all worked out for him um personally.
00:16:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:16:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, we'll see you ah we'll see what Shador Sanders does in the Browns. um Not going root for him, obviously, because you know I'm not rooting for the Browns here, but I don't know.
00:16:28
Victor Gaudiosi
it's ah It's a weird, peculiar peculiar situation. um
00:16:35
Mike
I just feel like this draft sucked.
00:16:37
Victor Gaudiosi
It did. like I think um the consensus was that
00:16:44
Victor Gaudiosi
picks eight through 40. Some people had an eight to 40. Some people had it like 10 to 60. Everyone in that range was kind of just mid.
00:16:57
Austin
Mm-hmm.
00:16:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Like there was no real difference. You know, it was a lot of like, depends on fit, depends on, um scheme and like coaching and all that. But I think talent wise, talent evaluation wise, they were all kind of in the same range.
00:17:14
Mike
Right.
00:17:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Um, which, you know, probably isn't true. You know, we'll probably look back on this in like three years and be like, oh yeah, like there were clear studs later on in the the rounds or later on in the first round that people kind of were overlooking. But I mean, that's something you could say with hindsight.
00:17:35
Mike
Time will tell. Time will tell.
00:17:37
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:17:37
Mike
I don't know. There just wasn't enough at this draft for me to love something specific. So time will tell if it all works out.
00:17:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Also, I think they got to stop doing the draft. um Like they tried to make it like an event almost um where you go like there was 250,000 people in Green Bay like on night one for the draft.
00:18:04
Victor Gaudiosi
And that's got to be the most boring shit ever.
00:18:08
Mike
Heh heh. ah
00:18:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Like they're packed in like it's like Times Square. You know, like, they're they're literally, like, body to body in this crowd. You can't see shit from the screen. You don't get to really see the players from, like, if you're in the back or in the middle, you're not seeing anything.
00:18:26
Victor Gaudiosi
It's not like a festival where you can, like, walk around and, like, see other artists or anything like that. It's like if the Steelers pick didn't come until 1045 at night, right?
00:18:37
Victor Gaudiosi
at night right They were there since like noon. If you're a Steelers fan, you're waiting from noon to 1045 to see your team pick one guy for 30 seconds.
00:18:47
Mike
No. No. no
00:18:50
Austin
hmm.
00:18:50
Victor Gaudiosi
And that's it.
00:18:51
Victor Gaudiosi
And then they walk off the stage and that's it. That's all you get to see.
00:18:51
Austin
That's why.
00:18:53
Austin
It seems like it's it seems like it's a family thing, a family and friends thing.
00:18:58
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:18:58
Austin
Right. Which is why it's wild to me that. Well, I get that they have like the top prospects come in and we talked about that last time about like having those 30 or so people in the studio wherever they're doing it.
00:19:10
Austin
Fine. But like, why is this an event? Why is this an event that people are tailgating, you know?
00:19:15
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. They have, they had an awful, and I guess, no offense, it's live music. It's hard to play literally like six hours of music in a row.
00:19:26
Victor Gaudiosi
ah but the band wasn't that good that they had. It was like a cover band. So they're just playing like top 40 hits. you You gotta to be gassed out by fucking like nine o'clock on this thing.
00:19:38
Victor Gaudiosi
You've been playing there since six. And then you have another three hours to The first round ended at like 1130. Yeah.
00:19:43
Austin
Yeah.
00:19:45
Mike
Yeah, we're complaining about this now, and then next year we're all going to show up to the draft in Pittsburgh anyway.
00:19:45
Victor Gaudiosi
don't know.
00:19:46
Austin
i
00:19:51
Mike
So I'm sure in a year's time we're going to be like, yeah.
00:19:52
Victor Gaudiosi
I, after seeing, dude, after seeing last night, I don't think I want to do that.
00:19:56
Mike
They got to make it faster. It's just, you know, it's like baseball.
00:19:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Yes.
00:20:00
Mike
Like, baseball recognized that this shit was taking too long, right? And as much as everybody either was yay or nay against the pitch count clock, it kind of worked out.
00:20:11
Mike
And this is what people want to see.
00:20:12
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:20:13
Mike
Games are more condensed. You know what I'm saying? It it ended up working out. They got to make this shit faster. and And I don't know how to do it because they a lot...
00:20:18
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:20:20
Mike
That certain amount of time for the pick to be in or this and that, but too much analysis, too much pre-show post-show.
00:20:25
Victor Gaudiosi
It's that that's what it is.
00:20:27
Mike
They just got it. They got to rip right through this stuff.
00:20:30
Victor Gaudiosi
The, the teams are not taking 10, 15 minutes to pick these players. It's the, like it's ESPN trying to milk ads and it's like them also doing their,
00:20:43
Victor Gaudiosi
like the Like you said, the analysis shit, where it's like the four guys at the desk are talking about the picks. And that's one of the thing that's another thing I have issue with um with the draft, because your door was falling, Mel Kiper was screaming.
00:20:50
Mike
Thank
00:21:01
Austin
did, yeah.
00:21:02
Victor Gaudiosi
into the like and Literally, like into the camera being like, this is an abomination. like I can't believe this. and think I don't know if we talked about it on Friday. i
00:21:10
Austin
did yeah
00:21:10
Victor Gaudiosi
okay I couldn't remember. but like Yeah, like Jackson Dart getting picked, you know, was a very interesting move. Like no one really thought Dart would go before Shador at that point. There were talks, but it wasn't really like set in stone.
00:21:27
Victor Gaudiosi
And so for the like whatever, like the six minutes in between picks, Mel Kuyper was like basically talking about how teams were fucking over Shador Sanders and not talking about Jackson Dart at all.
00:21:38
Victor Gaudiosi
The guy who actually just got drafted.
00:21:38
Mike
Seriously. Seriously. ah hundred percent
00:21:41
Victor Gaudiosi
It's like, come on.
00:21:43
Mike
Every ESPN notification I got on my phone about the draft had Shador somewhere involved on it.
00:21:44
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't know. It's just, it's tough to...
00:21:52
Mike
And I'm like trying to pull it up.
00:21:53
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:21:53
Mike
You know, it was just they either threw his picture in there. They had to say something about him. and it's just like, that that's the new headline, I guess. You know, that's what they're go rock with.
00:22:01
Victor Gaudiosi
and And I get it. Like, he he is the most polarizing figure in the draft, I would say. Like, if you're talking about, like, popularity-wise, who... who, like, people knew the most, it's probably Shador Sanders, but I don't know.
00:22:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Making everything about him is kind of...
00:22:21
Austin
That's what they have to do for a mid draft.
00:22:22
Victor Gaudiosi
It's insane. Yeah.
00:22:24
Austin
Right. what What other story was there?
00:22:27
Victor Gaudiosi
There wasn't really many storylines. I mean, the the Browns trading up to two from five to get Jenty, or not Jenty, to get Travis Hunter was, like, an interesting little thing, you know?
00:22:37
Austin
But that all happened within the first 30 minutes.
00:22:38
Victor Gaudiosi
But... Yeah, exactly. That trade happened right before the draft started.
00:22:42
Austin
Right.
00:22:44
Victor Gaudiosi
So, yeah, I mean, I get it. They have to fill time. But what I what I feel like they should do is stop filling time. And let these teams pick because these dudes know who they want.
00:22:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Within like the first 30 seconds of their clock, be like of them being on the clock, they know who they want.
00:23:02
Mike
Especially the first round. They know who they want. they know whos they They know how this is going to go.
00:23:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:23:07
Mike
Unless somebody's making a wild trade or whatever the case. You know who you're going to lock in or who's available, what you're taking. Like, it's set in stone.
00:23:15
Austin
But i don't I don't understand.
00:23:15
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:23:17
Austin
Aren't all these things decided before they start? Don't they negotiate with each other and trade for picks and people and...
00:23:24
Mike
Well, they could do it live.
00:23:24
Victor Gaudiosi
No, they do. they Yeah, they do stuff on the clock too, which is why I feel like you should have three minutes no matter what to make your pick. And if you're going make a trade, you, one, you should just be doing it the whole night. You should be knowing like who you're targeting to trade with.
00:23:42
Victor Gaudiosi
but I think you should be able to call, like, ah i think a team should get one timeout for the draft.
00:23:46
Austin
Okay.
00:23:48
Victor Gaudiosi
If you want to trade up, you get to you get to call one timeout.
00:23:48
Mike
oh Oh.
00:23:52
Victor Gaudiosi
each Each pick is three minutes, but if you see a guy at, like, pick seven and you're picking 24th, you can call a timeout on the draft, try trade up for pick number seven, and you have five minutes to negotiate or 10 minutes to negotiate or whatever.
00:24:11
Mike
But that will make it longer because if all 32 teams have that opportunity to, we're trying to make...
00:24:16
Victor Gaudiosi
No, you get one timeout per draft through all seven rounds. You could keep negotiating if you're not on the clock, but I'm saying like if the team comes up that you want to trade with, you get to timeout once.
00:24:29
Mike
Okay. Interesting. I would be intrigued to see how that works.
00:24:33
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, so it makes it... Yeah, it makes... I mean, it's a dumb idea. They're never going to do this, obviously. it would it would cost It would cost ESPN so much money to not have the first round of the draft be five hours.
00:24:39
Mike
don't know.
00:24:45
Mike
Ha ha ha.
00:24:45
Victor Gaudiosi
They need it to be five hours to keep milking the ads and milking their own analysts in front of us.
00:24:48
Austin
Right.
00:24:51
Victor Gaudiosi
ah What I just suggested would be a cool in theory thing, but like they would never they would never do that. Teams would hate that too because they want more time to negotiate as well.
00:25:04
Victor Gaudiosi
But don't know. they i get They have to make the first round faster. like It is kind of... Because, again, these teams are picking – like, it's they get 10 minutes to pick, but they're picking way earlier than that.
00:25:16
Victor Gaudiosi
But they're just being forced to hold everything up.
00:25:21
Victor Gaudiosi
don't know. Maybe there's more that goes into it than I'm not privy to, but Yeah.
00:25:25
Austin
It just seems like one of those things that will ultimately phase out, in my opinion. But i don't I don't know anything, you know? Like, it's, I don't know.
00:25:33
Victor Gaudiosi
i said I said one way to fix it, which would be fun, is if they did the draft, just the owners and the players, or no, just the owners and the teams did the draft together like over, like um I want to say like a Zoom call, but they they did it with um like un-televised.
00:25:55
Victor Gaudiosi
And then for TV, you could do it in like two hours. And again, ESPN can have three days of this, whatever, if they want to break out the rounds that way. But instead of it being five hours, it's two hours.
00:26:07
Victor Gaudiosi
And every single player and fan, the picks have already been made before they even start the show.
Draft Operation Changes
00:26:14
Victor Gaudiosi
And then the players and fans find out together in like and like a live unveiling TV show.
00:26:20
Mike
o
00:26:20
Victor Gaudiosi
Kind of like how they do with like ah Selection Sunday with the NCAA basketball tournament in March, where the teams are already picked, and then you're just watching a show to figure out who went where or like you know what seed and what region.
00:26:33
Mike
Right, right, right.
00:26:35
Victor Gaudiosi
That would shorten it by like two hours.
00:26:39
Austin
Tons, and they could do side interviews and everything like that if they wanted to.
00:26:39
Victor Gaudiosi
But again, yeah. But that's the thing. they that Something like that would never happen. I think they are perfectly fine with how long it is.
00:26:48
Austin
I'm still here for, you know, hey, you got pick, I got pick. Let's duke it out. The two, you know, team owners, they get a fist fight in a pit of mud.
00:26:59
Austin
And whoever.
00:27:00
Mike
There we go. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
00:27:02
Austin
That's right. Come on now.
00:27:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I...
00:27:05
Austin
And then and the fittest wins.
00:27:08
Victor Gaudiosi
It would be funny. You just see teams hiring the buffest men possible. They're hiring UFC fighters ah to fight in their stead.
00:27:17
Austin
As placeholder CEOs.
00:27:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:27:20
Austin
That's funny.
00:27:23
Austin
Well, i think I think that we should probably, i do want to hear about Mike's trip because we are now, we've collectively covered the draft for an hour and a half.
00:27:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, yeah, tell us about your trip. We're a half hour in.
00:27:36
Mike
did we just did Did we just pull an ESPN and talk about the draft for a solid hour and a half, maybe two hours?
00:27:43
Victor Gaudiosi
We complained. We didn't talk about it We complained about it for an hour.
00:27:45
Austin
We complained about it. We complained about it.
00:27:46
Victor Gaudiosi
It's different.
00:27:47
Austin
Yeah.
00:27:48
Mike
um
00:27:48
Victor Gaudiosi
and And effectively, probably worse.
00:27:51
Austin
Yeah. And we sprinkled in a little bit of wrestling in there. So, you know, you know, we, we you listen to sports.
00:27:54
Mike
We did.
00:27:54
Victor Gaudiosi
That's right.
00:27:55
Mike
John Cena's bad now. Did you know that?
00:27:58
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. ah we I think I talked about that on Friday.
00:28:02
Mike
Oh, did you?
00:28:02
Austin
Yeah.
00:28:03
Mike
oh sorry.
00:28:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:28:03
Austin
Yeah.
00:28:04
Mike
Yeah.
00:28:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:28:05
Mike
John Cena's bad.
00:28:05
Victor Gaudiosi
You said you listened to the episode.
00:28:06
Austin
This is the Mike catch up show where we go over the entire episode with Mike.
00:28:06
Victor Gaudiosi
You're lying to us. Yeah.
00:28:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, we don't do an episode. This is a recap episode of a
Airbnb Mystery in Buenos Aires
00:28:13
Victor Gaudiosi
TV show. We're just playing highlights for Mike so he gets back up to speed.
00:28:16
Austin
That's right. Okay.
00:28:18
Mike
Um, my trip was good. I learned a lot. Um, I learned a lot while I was down there in South America. It's beautiful. um I kind of was like taking notes on things that I like learned along the way. Cause I was like, I want to make sure I share it.
00:28:35
Mike
But the biggest one, and and we're just going to off the rip on it. And I have, I have a theory and I don't know if it's a true theory. But the biggest one, and I think it kind of confirmed my theory towards the end of my trip, was I think I rented an Airbnb in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I was in an apartment building. It was...
00:28:59
Mike
10 floors. No, seven floors, I believe. um And I was on floor three. um So i think I think we did the math. I think it was like 38 or 40 apartments. um I think on my floor, somebody died in their apartment building.
00:29:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh my god.
00:29:18
Austin
Ooh, okay. What made you say that? Were there police cars?
00:29:21
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:29:21
Mike
So no, I think somebody died prior to me checking in. And I think while I was there, they were cleaning it and all up ah but i don't know now here's where here's why i say this so we get there there's there's no like there's no this is a theory there's no real indication that somebody may have died maybe something happened i don't so we get there and there's four apartment doors per floor so where ours is right across from the uh elevator and everybody has their own stuff on their door you know the doormats and stuff so the the one to left of us had um a towel underneath their door you know how people do that for like draft you know like if it's drafty you put a towel under there there is on the same floor yeah yeah so i'm like ah
00:30:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:30:04
Austin
Oh, they they were on the same floor as you.
00:30:09
Mike
okay you know like maybe it's drafty whatever you know i don't know much so in the airbnb it's it's a nice it's a smaller apartment pretty nice You got a balcony and I'm looking up and down and stuff. I like look over to the other person's balcony, which would be that apartment.
00:30:25
Mike
And I see they got a little table, little set up. They had like, you know, little knickknacks outside. I'm like, oh, this is cool.
00:30:30
Austin
Any paddy wax?
00:30:32
Mike
No, no given dogs of bones. There was no, there was no given dogs bones. um I did meet ah the neighborhood cat. to It climbs roofs at like seven o'clock in the morning. So that was a fun time.
00:30:45
Austin
Nice.
00:30:45
Mike
I met the neighborhood cat.
00:30:45
Austin
did Did you give it a name?
00:30:47
Mike
No, but I tried feeding it bread. It doesn't really eat bread, but no glasses, no glasses.
00:30:51
Austin
Were you wearing those glasses?
00:30:55
Austin
Oh, man, I thought that might have been it.
00:30:56
Mike
That could be, could be. So they, in the apartment complex, they had a sign that was like, hey, um we're replacing all the fire extinguishers in the apartments. Please leave your fire extinguisher out and to the and into the lobby and we'll bring you a new one.
00:31:17
Mike
So I did that the next morning. Um, and there was only three out of four left out and they replaced three out of four. And I was like, oh, okay, no big deal. Um, and then another day i was leaving the apartment and I got to figure that this guy was a maintenance guy. He was there pretty often and up and down and into the basement where the laundry was.
00:31:41
Mike
So there's a maintenance guy at that door and they had the door open. It's like three or four of them huddled around. And there's this one lady like in the apartment, like scrubbing it, like yellow gloves, scrubbing it, this and that. And a lot of them are like this, like kind of covering their nose. And I'm like, okay, like, you know, maybe somebody had a spill or something, whatever. Okay, no big deal.
00:32:06
Mike
So didn't think anything of that. Um, and then another one of the days towards the end, I was in the stairwell cause I was going down the stairs and there was a mattress in the stairwell on my floor and then the mattress frame and it reeked and absolutely reeked.
00:32:23
Mike
And looked like a blood mark. on the bed so like as soon as you went to the third floor it absolutely wrenched it was wrenched and i was like oh man that stinks and i was like i don't know if it was blood but it was just like this red mark across the across the uh the mattress so was oh man that that doesn't look right and then that that towel for the draft from that door after they cleaned it was gone
00:32:26
Austin
Yeah.
00:32:49
Mike
And I was like, okay. And I was like, and then it didn't change your fire extinguisher. Okay. So then I look, I went from my balcony. I looked over all their stuff that they had in the balcony was gone. And then I kind of looked over into like into their sliding door in the kitchen area and it was all like cleaned out and stuff. So I'm not saying like it's just my suspicion that somebody died.
00:33:10
Mike
But something happened in that apartment either right before we got there or they were cleaning up the tail end of what happened while we were there. But I was intrigued to find out what this was going on.
00:33:20
Austin
Interesting. And you didn't investigate any further?
00:33:23
Mike
Well, I didn't know how to investigate it any further. you know I'm saying? Like, what was I going to do? Ask the maintenance guy what's going on in this room?
00:33:29
Austin
mean, dude?
00:33:29
Mike
You know.
00:33:30
Austin
You get a notepad, you go, you start interviewing the the different neighbors, you take that down to the police, you start following the clues.
00:33:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, probably. The Inquisitive.
00:33:36
Victor Gaudiosi
also seems like someone got killed. There was blood on the bed. seems like someone was murdered.
00:33:42
Mike
I don't know if it... See, that's the thing. is I can't say for sure if it was blood, but the stench was nuts. And they left that.
00:33:49
Austin
ah do you think it was Do you think it was some poop?
00:33:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, they shit on the bed.
00:33:53
Mike
But, okay, so, like...
00:33:53
Austin
Shit on the bed.
00:33:54
Mike
So, even if...
00:33:54
Austin
and they were just trying to clean it up and Mike's out here.
00:33:55
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, honestly, that could be it. If it's just ah if it's just a ah a block of apartments that are Airbnbs, it could just been a very shitty guest.
00:34:04
Austin
Literally a very shitty guest.
00:34:06
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah literally Yeah, quite literally.
00:34:07
Austin
Quite literally.
00:34:08
Mike
I don't think the whole block is Airbnbs, but, and and it could be, right? Like that could be a possible theory. i'm I'm making the extreme of it, but I'm also thinking if it was somebody who like shit on their mattress, why is maintenance coming in and cleaning that all up and then clear ah like all their stuff on the balcony?
00:34:20
Austin
Mm-hmm.
00:34:26
Mike
Like it looks like essentially a brand new apartment from what I gathered, you know, like why is everything changed up? So I'm like, something happens.
00:34:33
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, I mean, it like like I said, if it's if it's an Airbnb-like company, like it could be all that. Oh, my God, the glare coming in.
00:34:44
Victor Gaudiosi
That is so funny. No, I think if it's if it's owned by, like, if they're Airbnb-ing all these apartments out and they're in on, like, the maintenance crew is in on it with the, like, the owners or whatever, like, of course the maintenance crew would probably take care of that.
00:34:47
Mike
we just saw
00:35:01
Mike
i don't i don't think all them are air beat and beat i don't think all them are air being beat i i imagine that some are obviously the one we had was But like I did meet people on the floors and stuff, you know, as I was going in and out multiple times.
00:35:17
Mike
So so I don't know. Like I said, maybe maybe it was somebody older and they die. I'm not saying somebody got stabbed or murdered. I'm just saying something something happened in that apartment where they kind of had to come in and clean it up.
00:35:28
Victor Gaudiosi
seems like Seems like someone was murdered.
00:35:31
Austin
I'd like to think that somebody just had a really bad food experience and they just, they didn't just shit in the bed, they shit everywhere.
00:35:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:35:39
Austin
know what I mean?
00:35:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Like that United Air flight.
00:35:40
Austin

00:35:42
Victor Gaudiosi

00:37:22
Victor Gaudiosi
um Oh, wait, wait, hold on. Oh, this one.
00:37:24
Austin
It was a recreation.
00:37:26
Victor Gaudiosi
No, this one, the, I think the other one was an accident. This one's called it's, it's filed under air rage is the category for this incident.
00:37:35
Austin
like purposefully shitting on the plane out of a fit of rage.
00:37:35
Mike
okay
00:37:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, yes, that's exactly, that's pretty much exactly what happened. They were, so they they didn't want to give him, this guy, this was in 95, they didn't, they wanted to stop serving him drinks because he was already plastered.
00:37:52
Victor Gaudiosi
And he started, he basically was fighting the attendants, pouring himself's drinks, and then at one point jumped up onto the cart and shit on the cart.
00:38:03
Austin
Oh.
00:38:04
Mike
What airline was this? I'm just curious.
00:38:06

00:38:25
Austin
well yeah
00:38:26
Victor Gaudiosi
It was a medical issue. i don't think they ever revealed who it was, which I think. Is um I think that's good for the guy.
00:38:36
Mike
Mm-hmm.
00:38:37
Austin
I think that's wrong. think that's how that's that's your ah that's your punishment is that everybody will forever know that you're the dude that shit on a plane.
00:38:46
Victor Gaudiosi
well Well, see, again, that's the thing. if if everyone If anyone were to know that that happened, I'm sure this guy would maybe kill himself.

Victor Gaudiosi
How do you... You can't live that...
00:38:55

00:42:10
Mike
You're feeling something, but you don't, you don't know what it is.
00:42:12
Victor Gaudiosi
ah you Yeah, that could be just like pre like pre flight uneasiness in general, you know, like.
00:42:13
Mike
You don't know what it is.
00:42:17
Austin
plane? Go to the bathroom and test it out. You know what i mean? like That's why you gotta do
00:42:21
Mike
But maybe you don't feel it then. How many, you know, like look at all these people that they they think a fart's a fart and then you find out it's a little more than that.
00:42:28
Austin
Well, I mean, also, not for nothing, too.
00:42:28
Mike
You know I'm saying? are you supposed to know
00:42:31
Austin
People can use those bathrooms whenever. They just don't want people moving around during takeoff. I'm going to look.
00:42:36
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah Yeah, I would be like, hey, listen, I gotta go.
00:42:36
Austin
If I'm feeling that way, to look at the flight attendant right in the eyes. I'll be like, you want shit on your floor or do you want me to go to the bathroom right now?
00:42:42
Mike
know?
00:42:44
Mike
I'm sure the stewardess would be like, please use the bathroom because the other alternative is not that great.
00:42:44
Austin
Yeah.
00:42:44
Victor Gaudiosi
like Yeah, exactly.
00:42:49
Austin
That's right. That's right.
00:42:51
Mike
it's not that great.
00:42:52
Austin
I'm glad. Hey, I'm glad we're in agreement on this.
00:42:54
Mike
I, I, you know what?
00:42:54
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, that's good.
00:42:54
Mike
I think we did good. I think we did all right.
00:42:56
Austin
I think we did that.
00:42:58
Mike
I think we did all right.
00:43:00
Austin
Not bad. Okay, hold on. So did we did we interrupt your story, Mike?
00:43:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, yeah, ah we're talking about your your vacation here.
00:43:07
Mike
No, well, no, no, you guys didn't interrupt anything.
00:43:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Let's go back to that.
00:43:09
Austin
What were you talking about?
00:43:11
Mike
we were just talking about my theory that I think somebody died in the ah apartment next to my Airbnb.
00:43:16
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, yeah, someone definitely died in that Airbnb.
00:43:17
Austin
oh Oh, because and I said everybody's shitting everywhere and then you said the guy on the plane.
00:43:20
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah,
00:43:20
Mike
Everybody's shitting in it. Yes, yes, yes. So I think i think somebody somebody may have rested in peace in 301. So, you know.
00:43:31
Austin
Well, listen, as long as their their spirit didn't follow you home, you're good to go.
00:43:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay, that's...
00:43:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. And if it did, don't know. You got to live with that, buddy.
00:43:39
Austin
If it did, yeah, I mean, nice knowing you.
00:43:40
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't know.
00:43:40
Mike
They're
00:43:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Good luck.
00:43:43
Austin
We can invite them on the pod.
00:43:45
Mike
probably here right now. Probably here right now. you know probably here right now
00:43:48
Austin
They're probably, you know what? They're probably, they've taken possession of that that teddy bear behind you.
00:43:54
Mike
Mm-hmm.
00:43:54
Victor Gaudiosi
This is going to sound pretty, ah this is, this is a first world problem and probably something I shouldn't complain about, but I am trying to order my dinner right now.
00:44:02
Austin
Oh, no.
00:44:05
Victor Gaudiosi
And I'm ordering from like a hot chicken place. And, to you know, sometimes to save on cash, I don't know if you guys do this, but I do it with Uber Eats all the time,
Fast Food Promotions
00:44:12
Victor Gaudiosi
is I just order kids meals instead. Because usually it's like a slightly smaller portion, which is fine, but it's like $5 cheaper. Right? Right.
00:44:24
Victor Gaudiosi
right
00:44:25
Austin
It's like ah an item that they have on the menu, but they sell a kid's version of it.
00:44:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. So like, for example, ah one of the large wing chains in our area, um if you want a six piece wing in like fries, it's going to cost you like 20 bucks.
00:44:43
Victor Gaudiosi
But if you just wanted four wings and fries. It's 10 bucks and you get a little soda on top of it.
00:44:52
Mike
oh Oh.
00:44:53
Austin
And sometimes a little toy.
00:44:54
Victor Gaudiosi
And sometimes a little toy.
00:44:56
Mike
Yeah.
00:44:56
Victor Gaudiosi
So, hey, you know what? Again, you know, we haven't done this in a while. Life hack of the week. Just order kids meals off off Uber Eats.
00:45:03
Mike
Kids meal everything. Kids meal everything.
00:45:05
Victor Gaudiosi
It's literally, you're getting like 75% of the value for like 50% of the price. yeah.
00:45:13
Austin
I do, I do in a similar note, I do know people that um when they go to the movie theater,
00:45:13
Mike
Thank
00:45:20
Austin
they buy the kids tickets online.
00:45:24
Victor Gaudiosi
o yeah
00:45:24
Austin
So instead of doing adult or they'll do senior because the, the attendance, ah according to them, don't check what kind of ticket they bought.
00:45:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:45:33
Austin
They just see that they bought the ticket and what theater it's for and they direct them to it.
00:45:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. and And not only that, but like a lot of these ticketing kiosks are like scan yourself in too. So if you scan yourself in, you'll get your ticket anyway.
00:45:43
Austin
Okay.
00:45:44
Victor Gaudiosi
And it it doesn't, yeah, you're right. It doesn't matter.
00:45:45
Austin
Right. So if you know what theater you're going to and that you don't have to interact with somebody, you know, we're not condoning such activities, but listen, it's a rough world out there.
00:45:52
Victor Gaudiosi
But hey, you know,
00:45:54
Austin
We're in a recession almost.
00:45:55
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. um
00:45:57
Austin
Get it while you can, baby.
00:45:57
Victor Gaudiosi
But to go back to go back to the thing about what I was going to complain about, um I'm getting a kid's menu item. um And I'm upset that I can't customize the heat level of the tender.
00:46:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Since it's a kid's menu item, they only do it in plain, right?
00:46:09
Austin
Okay. All right.
00:46:12
Victor Gaudiosi
Which I understand it's for kids. But I kind of want medium.
00:46:16
Austin
Just order a side of the whatever sauce that they're putting on it, dude.
00:46:21
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, no, it's like it's like hot chicken. They don't do sauces. It's like rubs. you ever had a hot chicken before?
00:46:26
Austin
No.
00:46:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Like natural hot chicken?
00:46:27
Austin
No.
00:46:29
Victor Gaudiosi
We should change that.
00:46:29
Austin
Oh,
00:46:30
Victor Gaudiosi
But it's literally, it's like a dry rub spice that they coat the chicken with.
00:46:30
Mike
yeah You can't go wrong.
00:46:33
Austin
okay.
00:46:37
Victor Gaudiosi
But yeah, i can't get, and the reason why I'm getting the kids meal is because I get the i get an apple juice and a side of fries with my chicken. I just wanted one chicken tender. If I wanted to do it, it would cost like $8.
00:46:49
Victor Gaudiosi
But for $12, I'm getting fries, apple juice, and a dipping sauce.
00:46:53
Austin
Not bad.
00:46:54
Victor Gaudiosi
It's not bad.
00:46:56
Austin
don't give Yeah, you can't go wrong.
00:46:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:46:57
Austin
And I can't laugh with apple juice either. I'm drinking a little bit of cider right here.
00:47:00
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:47:02
Mike
Everybody wins. you know Everybody gets a little something.
00:47:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:47:04
Mike
in In the McDonald's in Argentina, they give you with the kids meal the the Minecraft hat because of the movie.
00:47:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Let's go.
00:47:12
Mike
Yeah. So they give you a little...
00:47:13
Austin
Did you get it
00:47:14
Mike
I didn't get it because I didn't order the ah the kids meal. But they like they have a little table set up. And like they have ah the kids can come and they can color and stuff. And then they get the little Minecraft. You know how like Burger King has the crown?
00:47:26
Mike
It's like similar but has little the little Minecraft on it.
00:47:29
Austin
Nice.
00:47:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay.
00:47:31
Mike
I don't know. Do we have that here?
00:47:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Cool.
00:47:32
Mike
Are we doing that here? I think we should. I think we should be doing that.
00:47:35
Austin
wouldn't be surprised if we do that here, but you know, I don't work for McDonald's so.
00:47:38
Victor Gaudiosi
No, I only got a Minecraft toy when I bought a Happy Meal a couple weeks ago.
00:47:43
Mike
See, Vic knows.
00:47:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, no, i i I just had to remember that.
00:47:44
Mike
You just got to ask Vic.
00:47:46
Victor Gaudiosi
but yeah I didn't really like the... um The reason why I did is because I wanted the the new Nether sauce, the Minecraft sauce that they're doing, but I didn't want like a full McDonald's meal, so I got like the kids' four-piece with the sauce.
00:47:55
Mike
Okay.
00:48:01
Victor Gaudiosi
Sauce kind sucked, to be honest. i I'm being honest.
00:48:03
Mike
Ooh.
00:48:04
Austin
o
00:48:04
Victor Gaudiosi
It wasn't that good. um But yeah, no, I didn't get a Minecraft crown either. That's fucked up. I didn't know they were doing that.
00:48:12
Mike
They're doing them.
00:48:13
Austin
Time to call and complain.
00:48:14
Victor Gaudiosi
That's fucked. Yeah, i I think I do have to complain.
00:48:15
Mike
They're doing it why
00:48:17
Victor Gaudiosi
i think I'm going to go down to that McDonald's right now.
00:48:19
Mike
Why are international... and This is a great question. Why are international companies doing different things in different countries? Like, why
00:48:26
Austin
different Different cultural.
00:48:27
Mike
why are
00:48:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, it caters to their it caters to the local palate.
00:48:30
Austin
Right.
00:48:30
Mike
No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about the...
00:48:31
Austin
And different cultural standards.
00:48:33
Mike
No, I get that. But what I'm saying is like, if and when and when I was in Argentina, they were given the Minecraft hats. Okay, if they're doing the same promo for the Minecraft movie in the States, why are we not getting the hats?
00:48:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Probably because they realize kids don't like hats up here. Maybe it's just a difference. It's like a lot less money spent.
00:48:51
Austin
right That's right.
00:48:53
Victor Gaudiosi
if if If kids in Argentina are more likely to wear the Minecraft hat than some kids here in Waterbury, Connecticut, they're not going to sell the hats in Waterbury because it's a waste of money.
00:49:03
Mike
But kids love hats. I mean, it's...
00:49:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, we don't know that.
00:49:05
Austin
That's a generalization. Not all kids love hats.
00:49:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:49:07
Austin
In fact, they have enough market data to know that here specifically they don't love hats. But in Argentina, they do.
00:49:12
Victor Gaudiosi
do um I'm Googling it. Do Argentinian kids like hats?
00:49:19
Austin
I need to know.
00:49:20
Mike
I don't i don't know what we're going get off of that.
00:49:22
Austin
I'm so curious what you're going get back now.
00:49:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Um, there's nothing.
00:49:28
Austin
Okay, no, hold on.
00:49:28
Victor Gaudiosi
google had Google has no clue.
00:49:29
Austin
Hold on. Pause. ChatGPT. ChatGPT.
00:49:32
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay.
00:49:32
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:49:32
Austin
That question right now and see what they come back with.
00:49:34
Mike
Yeah, ask chat GPT.
00:49:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Cause even the Google, everything has been like Google has been taking over by their own AI assistant or whatever, where it just regurgitates like the first three articles.
00:49:41
Austin
Yep. Yep.
00:49:45
Mike
Yeah, at the top.
00:49:45
Victor Gaudiosi
They do not have a Google AI thing for this. They have no fucking clue what I'm asking.
00:49:47
Austin
Hmm.
00:49:50
Victor Gaudiosi
This might be the first time anyone has ever searched up.
00:49:50
Austin
But...
00:49:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Do Argentinian kids like hats?
00:49:56
Austin
ah What a novel question.
00:49:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:49:57
Austin
But now if you do it for through chat GPT, it will hallucinate an answer for you.
00:50:00
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Oh, you know what? You know what I heard last week, which I think is great and I'm going to keep doing it now.
00:50:02
Austin
ah
00:50:05
Victor Gaudiosi
um Every time you ask or every time you say hello and be nice to chat GPT, it costs the company like
AI Politeness Costs
00:50:12
Victor Gaudiosi
millions.
00:50:13
Mike
Yes, yes, I did read that because the amount of resources and minerals there, like it's wasting resources and minerals and water to answer like a polite command.
00:50:13
Austin
What? Why?
00:50:15
Victor Gaudiosi
Because it's like the amount of. Yeah.
00:50:20
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:50:25
Austin
to answer a polite command or for like, are you talking about somebody saying thank you instead of like,
00:50:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, like if you're prompting, because it it it will, if you say like, thanks, it will prompt a generation.
00:50:31
Mike
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Like it will say something like, oh, i'm I thank you for your whatever.
00:50:36
Austin
yeah, yeah.
00:50:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Like right now, I'm just saying, hey, chat, how are you?
00:50:42
Austin
Yeah. Okay. So that's a waste of resources.
00:50:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:50:45
Mike
Ask chat GBT, how much money it costs for them to, to give a singular response.
00:50:51
Austin
Well, it depends on the response, Mike. If I ask you to write a full set of source code for an app I'm writing, then it's going to take a lot more than it saying, hi, you know?
00:51:02
Mike
All right. Awesome. We got it. you got a college education.
00:51:03
Victor Gaudiosi
right All right.
00:51:03
Mike
All right. Just, just, let's just, we got it.
00:51:05
Austin
Jesus Christ!
00:51:08
Mike
You're smart. All right. Let's just count down. Okay.
00:51:10
Austin
No, enough of that.
00:51:10
Mike
Okay.
00:51:10
Victor Gaudiosi
All
00:51:11
Mike
mcdond McDonald's has data already.
00:51:11
Austin
is a big system.
00:51:13
Mike
Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:51:14
Victor Gaudiosi
right.
00:51:15
Mike
Let me live my dream. Let me live my dream.
00:51:17
Victor Gaudiosi
All right. Okay. Okay, I'm going to read out what I just said to chat GPT here, which I realize sounds really stupid for the listeners, but I want you guys to...
00:51:23
Austin
who
00:51:27
Mike
but But great for us, so don't worry.
00:51:29
Victor Gaudiosi
But great for us.
00:51:29
Austin
Yeah, you're coming along with us.
00:51:30
Victor Gaudiosi
So I go, you know, hey, chat, how are you? He go, chat. I don't know why I almost said he giving it not only.
00:51:36
Austin
Mr. GPT says.
00:51:37
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah Also gendering it as well. That's messed up.
00:51:40
Austin
oh yeah, that is messed up.
00:51:41
Victor Gaudiosi
They they said.
00:51:42
Mike
Big, big no-no.
00:51:43
Austin
They.
00:51:43
Mike
Mm-hmm.
00:51:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Hey, hey, I'm doing great. Even better now that you're here. How are you doing?
00:51:48
Mike
Aw............................
00:51:49
Victor Gaudiosi
Not that great. I'm trying to figure something out. I'm sorry you're having a rough time.
00:51:52
Austin
Jesus.
00:51:54
Victor Gaudiosi
What are you trying to figure out? Maybe I can help. Do Argentinian kids like hats? They said yes. They said they do like hats. So there you go, Mike. That answers your question.
00:52:04
Austin
but What was the full answer? Because they definitely didn't just say yes.
00:52:06
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, no. They said in cities like Buenos Aires, kids are into sporty caps like Nike Adidas New Era or trendy bucket hats, especially when they're trying to look cool or sporty.
00:52:16
Austin
Interesting.
00:52:16
Victor Gaudiosi
Hmm.
00:52:17
Austin
Mike, can you confirm?
00:52:19
Mike
Um, I can confirm that I did not see a lot of hats. Did not see.
00:52:25
Austin
Look at that.
00:52:25
Mike
But, but are we really categorizing the McDonald's Minecraft headband thing as a hat? Like,
00:52:33
Austin
That's a hat. Yeah, that's a hat. did it It goes on your head, right?
00:52:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay, i just I just followed that up with, hmm, interesting. Do American children in Connecticut like hats?
00:52:44
Austin
Here we go.
00:52:44
Victor Gaudiosi
It said yes. It says many kids like hats, so.
00:52:46
Austin
Got it. Got it.
00:52:48
Victor Gaudiosi
It's also trying to sell me stuff now. I didn't know ChatGBT could that. There's a Yankees fitted cap on here for $20 now.
00:52:53
Mike
Go ahead.
00:52:54
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, guess,
00:52:56
Mike
Go ahead.
00:52:56
Victor Gaudiosi
there's a yankees fitted cap on here for twenty dollars now
00:53:00
Austin
20 bucks is not bad.
00:53:02
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah yeah i guess
00:53:03
Mike
Ask him how much the Trump 2028 hat is going on for.
00:53:03
Victor Gaudiosi
but
00:53:07
Mike
Is it 50 bucks?
00:53:10
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm just going to Google that without involving chat. I'm sure it's $60.
00:53:14
Mike
I'm sure if you asked that to chat, it would be like, hey, you want to donate to the Communist Party of China while you're at it?
00:53:19
Victor Gaudiosi
I have, and I will continue to.
00:53:22
Austin
There you go.
00:53:22
Mike
Ooh.
00:53:23
Victor Gaudiosi
It's $50.
00:53:23
Austin
There you go.
00:53:24
Victor Gaudiosi
That's
00:53:25
Austin
Mike, how did you already know that? Did you look this up and you wanted to buy the hat and you just wanted us to type it in?
00:53:29
Victor Gaudiosi
mike Mike's already purchased the hat.
00:53:30
Austin
He's already purchased it.
00:53:31
Victor Gaudiosi
He's already he here.
00:53:31
Mike

00:53:32
Victor Gaudiosi
He knows how much it costs.
00:53:34
Mike

00:53:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Hmm.
00:53:38

Austin
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Mike, do you have Trump paraphernalia
Trump Merchandise Discussion
00:53:42
Austin
in your apartment somewhere?
00:53:43
Mike
I don't have to answer that question. I'm an American. Thank you. I know my rights.
00:53:46
Victor Gaudiosi
That means yes.
00:53:47
Mike
um
00:53:47
Victor Gaudiosi
That means yes he does.
00:53:48
Austin
but I was going to say, if you have some, bring it out.
00:53:51
Mike
No, I don't have any. I don't have any.
00:53:54
Austin
I think you're wondering.
00:53:54
Mike
The mugshot t-shirt was kind of was kind of mean, though. i It was mean, but I kind of liked it. That was funny.
00:54:01
Austin
Like you have the mugshot t-shirt.
00:54:03
Mike
No, I don't have it, but I'm saying like...
00:54:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Also mean as in like it was bad or like mean as in like that shit went hard.
00:54:08
Mike
It was both. both i was like, oh, that's fucked up. And I was like, that's kind of genius marketing also.
00:54:12
Victor Gaudiosi
That's fucked up.
00:54:12
Austin
I, I mean, i like the video.
00:54:14
Victor Gaudiosi
That's
00:54:15
Austin
I like the video of, um, what is it? What's his name? Uh, clapper from, um, or that may not be his name, but from the Daily Show where he did the interview. Yeah,
00:54:26
Mike
Jon Stewart?
00:54:28
Austin
yeah but they they went out and they did interviews at different different Trump rallies. And one of the guys was wearing the shirt and it said, never surrender.
00:54:32
Mike
Oh, okay.
00:54:36
Austin
And then it had the picture of Trump.
00:54:37
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:54:38
Austin
And he's like, yeah, isn't that your is isn't that him surrendering right there?
00:54:38
Victor Gaudiosi
And then he goes, didn't Trump surrender at the police station?
00:54:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:54:45
Austin
And he's like, what?
00:54:45
Victor Gaudiosi
And he's like, ah no, no.
00:54:50
Austin
and
00:54:50
Mike
I love it.
00:54:50
Austin
is funny.
00:54:51
Mike
I love it.
00:54:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, these are all really overpriced.
00:54:53
Austin
Very nice.
00:54:56
Austin
Yeah.
00:54:56
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm just looking.
00:54:57
Austin
Is there anything else?
00:54:57
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm just going through Trump's store right now. Just looking.
00:55:01
Austin
i think I think that um we missed an opportunity to have a full-on conversation there with chat GPT.
00:55:08
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't think that needs to happen, to be honest.
00:55:11
Mike
I think it kind of just answered the question we already knew, though.
00:55:14
Austin
But Victor, if you type in where am I right now?
00:55:19
Mike
I don't know about that. don't know. I don't know about that.
00:55:23
Austin
Does it get it right?
00:55:27
Victor Gaudiosi
That's this. They're making MAGA hats in like turquoise now. The fuck is going on?
00:55:32
Austin
Yeah, they got turquoise.
00:55:34
Victor Gaudiosi
That shit's ugly. i I will say the camo Make America Great Again hat kind of goes hard, but I think that's also because I just like camo stuff.
00:55:41
Austin
Hammo anything doesn't go hard in my opinion.
00:55:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Doesn't? That's crazy.
00:55:45
Austin
Doesn't. For what?
00:55:45
Victor Gaudiosi
You're telling me Chapel Rowan's Midwest Princess camo hat does not go hard?
00:55:46
Austin

00:55:50
Austin
Doesn't go hard.
00:55:51
Mike
He doesn't is it just like hunting camo, like green camo?
00:55:51
Victor Gaudiosi
You're telling me John Deere camo products don't go hard?
00:55:54
Austin
I'm telling you any camo product doesn't go hard.
00:55:56
Victor Gaudiosi
That's crazy. That's crazy.
00:55:58
Austin
for what for what purpose? You know what i mean
00:56:01
Victor Gaudiosi
To blend in.
00:56:05
Mike
Or are we talking like sandstorm camo, winter camo?
00:56:08
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm talking hunting camo.
00:56:10
Mike
Oh, come
00:56:10
Austin

00:56:18
Mike
on, dog. It's not supposed to look good.
00:56:19
Austin
it doesn't It doesn't work.
00:56:20
Mike
The purpose of it is to blend. What do you mean it doesn't work?
00:56:23
Austin
what what What is a civilian blending for?
00:56:23
Mike
It's camouflage.
00:56:26
Austin
Right?
00:56:26
Mike
Okay, yeah, in civilian standpoint, yes, I understand that.
00:56:26
Austin
What am I blending in for?
00:56:30
Austin
Oh, yeah, I know. I'm not talking about how, like, I'm not saying that what the military wears is stupid. It has a purpose. I'm saying the regular Joe Schmo that goes around wearing camel pants or a camel hat.
00:56:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, hold on. Camo pants are cool if if worn in the right outfit.
00:56:46
Austin
Interesting. I still disagree, but i can see the appeal. I just don't see it myself. You know, it's like,
00:56:53
Mike
I just, i I don't think you've tried it enough to know. I think that's what we're going to do. I think we're going to get camo pants. We're to get some black t-shirts. We're going to try it out.
00:57:03
Austin
what are we going to dress up like a militia? Like why don't we just get the green shirts, the camel pants, boots.
00:57:05
Victor Gaudiosi

Austin
Damn.
00:57:16

Mike
Like it's a saint candle and just like his face on it.
00:57:39
Victor Gaudiosi
No, no. That would be funny. That shit would be funny if he was doing that. He's selling a tropical water flower candle for $48. You could get that at TJ Maxx for $6.

Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:59:29
Mike
It's amazing.
00:59:29
Victor Gaudiosi
That's what I was, like, the the nicer places, even, like, Marshalls or whatever. If you go to, like, the Marshalls in, like, a nicer area, they got better stuff than, like, Marshalls and, like, Watertown or whatever.
00:59:36
Austin
Marshall's is Marshall's is still around.

Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.

00:59:45
Mike
Nah, that Marshalls and Watertown isn't that great.
00:59:48
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, that's what I'm saying. It's the better area you go, the better, that's what I'm saying. The Watertown one is bad.
00:59:54

Buenos Aires Food Adventures
01:01:51
Mike
that I didn't realize while I was on vacation is that Buenos Aires is big for their pizza. And I tried it and it was very good.
01:02:02
Victor Gaudiosi
It sucked? Oh, okay.
01:02:03
Mike
no no, no, it was actually very good. i mean, I only had one one pizza place out of multiple, but I don't know if I, yeah I mean, I never had a deep dish to know if it was similar, but it's not like a thin crust. It's not like a New York or a Connecticut.
01:02:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I'm looking at it.
01:02:17
Mike
It's, it's, um, it's, ah it's like a, a thicker, again, I don't know Detroit style or Chicago deep dish enough, but, um, it's very, it's very good.
01:02:18
Victor Gaudiosi
It's interesting.
01:02:29
Mike
It's very filling.
01:02:29
Victor Gaudiosi
You get it with the onions?
01:02:31
Mike
They, they put a lot of onions on things. I i got it. I just got the ham and cheese.

Victor Gaudiosi
no No onions, though?
01:02:39
Mike
No, you know what mine had?
01:02:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Seems pretty sacrilegious.
01:02:41
Austin
are you adamant about the onions?
01:02:43
Victor Gaudiosi
The amount of onions I'm seeing on Argentinian pizza, like, like I just Googled it.
01:02:47
Austin
All right, now I got to look.
01:02:48
Mike
i had a I had an onion and cheese empanada.
01:02:49
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, it seems wrong for him to not have it with the onions.
01:02:53
Mike
Mine had ham, cheese, and olives. I'm sure there was an onion one, but i had they do put a lot of onions on things. i had an onion and cheese empanada, and that was very good.
01:03:04
Austin
Oh my god, there are a lot of onions.
01:03:04
Victor Gaudiosi
That does sound pretty good. That's what I'm saying. It's the whole thing is onions. like

01:03:17
Mike
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah the ah Yes. um My aunt, who lives here, who was originally from Buenos Aires, told us to try it. But we were so stuffed on the pizza, we didn't try it yet.
01:03:29
Mike
But that's apparently very, very renowned.
01:03:29
Austin
This...
01:03:32
Austin
It looks good. It also looks like I would absolutely shit myself after I ate it.
01:03:38
Mike
Well, that happened to me
01:03:40
Victor Gaudiosi
on on ah On a United flight, by the way.
01:03:42
Austin
On a United flight, which I would wait until the absolute last minute to do.
01:03:42
Mike
on a United flight taking off one time in 1995. But anyways, that happened to me after I ate at a police at a place in Buenos Aires called Pipos.
01:03:54
Mike
It's a pasta place.
01:03:55
Austin
Beepo's.
01:03:56
Mike
yes, Bipos, that's right, yes, yeah that is, that is great, it's Bipos, and it's, it's, it's a staple of, of the city that what i what I've been told, the cool thing is, is that it's very cheap, right, like, you pay for the pasta, and you pay for the sauce, but, like, the pasta is, like, three bucks, and the sauce is, like, four bucks, okay, so you, yeah, it's, it's a pasta place,
01:03:56
Victor Gaudiosi
but
01:03:57
Austin
Beepo's.
01:04:18
Austin
Wait, hold on. This is a dish?
01:04:23
Austin
but Okay, but you pay for the pasta, you pay for the sauce. What else would you pay for? Okay.
01:04:28
Mike
No, I'm saying like they have other things as well. But what I'm saying is like you get to pick that like it's not like ah the dishes here, right?
01:04:31
Austin
oh it's
01:04:37
Mike
Like if you order chicken parm, it comes with long pasta. Or if you do penne ala vodka, you know, you're getting short pasta like you can combo it how you want.
01:04:45
Austin
okay
01:04:46
Mike
um And it was good, but people's also doesn't last very long. um And so I found that out the hard way.
01:04:55
Austin
Oh, it ran through you?
01:04:57
Mike
Buddy, Peepos did me dirty. Let me tell you. He did me dirty.
01:05:01
Austin
Sounds wrong.
01:05:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, i don't like I don't like that phrasing.
01:05:06
Austin
but But hold on. So are we saying that you had to make a stop at a public bathroom or did you make it back?
01:05:10
Mike
i just I just waited until I got on my flight and we started taking off. and i think i just I was feeling it.
01:05:14
Austin
Oh, good.
01:05:16
Mike
I didn't know what it was, so i was like, let me wait. you know Let me just wait and feel it out.
01:05:19
Austin
Right.
01:05:21
Austin

01:05:21
Mike

01:05:24
Austin
Three hour flight.
01:05:25
Mike

01:05:33
Austin
Nice.
01:05:34
Mike
Not nice.
01:05:34
Austin

01:05:37
Austin

01:05:41
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, I'm like bad food just running through a minute.
01:05:43
Austin
Yeah.
01:05:44
Victor Gaudiosi
I can't remember the last time.
01:05:46
Austin
But there's been a time.
01:05:47
Victor Gaudiosi
There's definitely, I mean, yeah, there's definitely been times in the past ah few years for sure. I just can't think, I use it so much as an excuse to go out of work ah that I can't think about the real times that it actually happens.
01:06:00
Austin
because
01:06:00
Mike
Food poisoning, Victor, 57 times last year.
01:06:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, no, that's straight up.
01:06:04
Austin
Do
01:06:05
Victor Gaudiosi
that's That is what I will say. It's yeah, i have food poisoning. I can't come in tomorrow.
01:06:10
Austin
do you think that people people shitting themselves is ah more of a common occurrence than we think?
Adult Accidents Anecdotes
01:06:18
Mike
ah hundred percent 100%.
01:06:19
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I believe so.
01:06:22
Mike
ah hundred 100%.
01:06:24
Mike
Am I saying it happens all the time? No, but I think it happens more common than we realize.
01:06:29
Austin
Yeah. Like at any given moment when you step out into public, one out 100 people that you run into definitely poop their pants that day.
01:06:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, that day? Probably not. No.
01:06:41
Mike
That day? I wouldn't say that day.
01:06:41
Victor Gaudiosi
i think I think that's too much. I think, like... ah
01:06:47
Victor Gaudiosi
I It seems like everyone in their adult life has done it at least once. I haven't, but it seems like...
01:06:54
Mike
but it But it will.
01:06:54
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm not even saying that to flex. I've like been asked, and I've said, nah, I haven't done that. and they're like what, you haven't? And I'm like, um like you have?
01:07:00
Austin
yes like that
01:07:03
Mike
They're looking for validation and they didn't get it.
01:07:03
Austin
You haven't pooped your pants?
01:07:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Like, what? Yeah, they're looking for validation, and it seems like I'm always the odd one out for not shitting my pants.
01:07:10
Austin
Wait, everybody else in the group was like, yeah, of course.
01:07:13
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, of course, yeah. Happens all the time.

01:07:23
Mike
No. But now I will because now i just don't you just don't know.
01:07:28
Austin
Well, now that you know that it's publicly like acceptable,
01:07:32
Mike
I don't know if it's publicly acceptable but I think
01:07:35
Austin
don't know. Everybody seems pretty comfortable with it.
01:07:39
Mike
I don't know if people feel comfortable with it. and i don't you know as I don't really know where you're going with this man. i don' you know I'm trying to work
01:07:44
Austin
I don't know where I'm going with it. I'm just kind of exploring, you know? Yeah.
01:07:49
Mike
I'm trying to work with you on it, but it's not, it's not working well. It's not working it well.
01:07:52
Austin
Listen, man, it's not always going to work like that. Sometimes I'm just out there in left field.
01:07:58
Mike
Well, you know, I get told every once in a while that I don't follow along for the bit.
01:07:58
Austin
You got to reel me back in.
01:08:03
Mike
So I'm trying to follow along for the bit. It's just, this one's a little tough for me, you know?
01:08:07
Austin
hey listen.
01:08:08
Victor Gaudiosi
It seems like every bit we ask you to follow along on is too tough for you, to be honest.
01:08:10
Austin
Ooh, I heard that one coming.
01:08:13
Victor Gaudiosi
Which is why we ask you to go.
01:08:14

Mike
That's the easy part.
01:09:40
Austin
