Victor Gaudiosi
You you've been working on any new music while you've been up there?
00:00:25
Mike
You know, it's it's funny that you say that because I was looking through my computer storage and those two um files, just two music files, is 23 gigabytes of my of my storage.

Those two files, the music creation files, are the biggest on my computer. So, I mean, I'll ill i'll spruce up the ones we have.
00:01:10
Mike
I don't know if i'm make more. i don't i don't know if I'm going to make more.
00:01:12
Victor Gaudiosi
no maybe i mean maybe you could just delete those two and then start fresh start from scratch you know yeah
00:01:17
Mike
Well, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to keep saving all of them. Like, i'll I'll delete one and when a better one comes. stuff But I can't believe two audio files. 23 gigabytes.
00:01:28
Victor Gaudiosi
For, no offense, not great music either.
00:01:32
Mike
No, for 30 seconds.
00:01:33
Victor Gaudiosi

00:01:35
Mike
For 30... Yeah, let's, you know, forget the quality. It's 30 seconds. And the cat's making an appearance.
00:01:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:01:42
Mike
There you are. Hello, cat.
00:01:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, hey, you know, we're down we're down some people today, so I guess any any guest is a good guest at this point.
00:01:50
Mike
What's your thoughts on world peace? You think you think that should happen? Or what do think about that?
Meet the New American Pope
00:01:56
Mike
What do you think about the new Pope being American? What do you think? What do you think about Chicago?
00:02:03
Mike
Deep dish pizza?
00:02:05
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't think I'm getting the cat's attention.
00:02:07
Mike
Nah, this guy does... He's a cool cat, but he just does his own thing.
00:02:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I could see.
00:02:13
Mike
He's cool, but...
00:02:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, you know, I kind of thought about that this morning.
00:02:14
Mike
um
00:02:16
Victor Gaudiosi
I was driving to the gym and I passed by like a Catholic church. Oh, maybe the cat does want to be.
00:02:25
Mike
We're just going to let him rock. We're just going to let him rock.
00:02:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. I drove by and I was like, damn, the first. like service after a new Pope is the cat knocking shit over.
00:02:32
Mike
for
00:02:36
Mike
Yeah, the cat just knocked my microphone off because he wants pets. That's all he wants.
00:02:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh man.
00:02:41
Mike
The first service with the American Pope.
00:02:41
Victor Gaudiosi
But then not just an American Pope, just so the new Pope in general has got to go hard getting in there right after, right after you just chose a new, uh,
00:02:49
Mike
Oh, yeah.
00:02:54
Victor Gaudiosi
What is the Pope? read i don't I don't care for Catholicism, to be honest, but does the it's the Pope is like the he's like the spokesperson for God, right? He's like, God can talk to me, and then I talk to you guys.
00:03:04
Mike
No, no, no, no. I don't think it's like that. I think he's just like the chosen to direct the Catholic church and to, you know, you to carry out, I guess, God's missions, you know, and and kind of it's it's essentially like almost like a presidency. But I think it's like just to carry out God's missions into how, you know, how they want the Catholic church to be ran and seen and stuff, you know.
00:03:32
Victor Gaudiosi
That's interesting. Yeah.
00:03:33
Mike
which is nia Which is why like when Pope Francis came in, it was a big thing because he was the first one like not from Europe and he was more reformed and more you know open-minded. So it was a big thing. so
00:03:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:03:47
Mike
ah like My thing was when it was going down, I really didn't want i didn't want somebody from Europe again because I was like, we're just going to back to the same shit. But did not think we were going to get an American.
00:03:59
Mike
So that was that was that's a victory.
00:04:00
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:04:01
Mike
That's a pretty victory, you know?
00:04:02
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I was, you know, I didn't, obviously I don't really care. i didn't get to see the movie Conclave, which is like about selecting a new Pope. um I heard some of the people, like some of the ah Cardinals themselves had to watch Conclave to to see what the process was actually like.
00:04:10
Mike
Oh, heard fantastic. Interesting.
00:04:21
Mike
Interesting.
00:04:22
Victor Gaudiosi
um And like voting in a new pope, which I think is pretty funny. um It seems like this pope is pretty cool so far. Like Pope Francis was, you know, pretty progressive.
00:04:32
Victor Gaudiosi
You know, like I think, like you said, think, you know, pretty open minded. And now I think this guy is also continuing that. Which ah seems pretty cool. Like, I think immediately today he was like, yeah, we should.
00:04:45
Victor Gaudiosi
He's like off rip. We should get a ceasefire in Gaza. Like, let's let's stop fucking around, which, you know, pretty sick. ah I don't know. i like i think he's like also in favor of a bunch of other shit that's cool, but I got in
Pope's Selection: Age and Identity
00:04:59
Mike
So here were my, right. Right. And these, and this was my two things when I was in Argentina and obviously Pope Francis died and I was his home country. So it was a big thing and the news covered it very much and stuff.
00:05:00
Victor Gaudiosi
piece in Ukraine and all that and whatnot.
00:05:12
Mike
And they were talking about the 12 or 15 Cardinals that were potentials and, and, and anybody, any Cardinal over 80 is not allowed to vote, um, into the conclave, into, into the election of the new Pope. So my biggest things were,
00:05:27
Mike
um not from Europe because I was worried that the, the status of the church was going to go backwards, uh, you know, back into the same bullshit that, it that it was for the longest time.
00:05:39
Mike
And I didn't want somebody elected who was like 78 years old because I was like, what's the point they're going to be.
00:05:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, we're just going to be and new Pope in like four years anyway.
00:05:47
Mike
you know
00:05:50
Mike
Exactly. And, and they're just going to just do jabroni stuff. So I was happy again. It's not like these guys are like 45 years old, but I was happy that they weren't European and that it was somebody who can probably hold their age for a while.
00:06:04
Mike
Like Pope Francis did. Pope Francis hold held his age for a very long time up until, up until the end.
00:06:06
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:06:09
Mike
But I watched something, i watched a reel or something because since he's American, you know, now all the American Cardinals are getting interviewed, but I watched one and I don't remember who it was, but they were saying that this guy, Pope Leo now,
00:06:26
Mike
has been so far out of the States because he's been doing his missionaries in Peru and in Italy. Like he's been out of the States for like 30 plus years that like American Cardinals didn't even know this guy or knew this guy was American because he was spending his years in Peru doing missionaries.
00:06:49
Mike
um You know, he was spending his time in Italy helping the poor. So like, people were, you know, American Cardinals were like, we had no clue because people were coming up to them be like, oh, you're a guy, you you know, they they got you, you're American and stuff.
00:07:02
Mike
And people were like, we don't even know who this guy is because he's been so far removed from the States doing, you know, the Lord's work in these countries that need it or whatever the case was.
00:07:04
Victor Gaudiosi
That's interesting.
00:07:12
Mike
So I thought that was pretty cool.
00:07:14
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I watched i watched a video of like his parish or whatever or like whatever. don't know what this shit's called, but like dudes who knew him, his seminary or whatnot.
00:07:24
Mike
Yeah, yeah,
00:07:24
Victor Gaudiosi
ah When he got picked, they were all like cheering and stuff. They were like hyped, which ah which was interesting.
00:07:29
Mike
yeah.
00:07:31
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:07:34
Victor Gaudiosi
don't know. It seems it seems pretty cool. um Kind of sad that J.D. Vance killed Pope Francis, but.
00:07:41
Mike
Yeah. Before we get into that, because I don't i don't understand that, but before we get into that, I also, I saw the video and I think you talked about it.
00:07:43
Victor Gaudiosi
It is what it is, you know.
00:07:50
Mike
I saw the video of, of This now Pope Leo on the Jumbotron in 2005 at the White Sox game.
00:07:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:07:58
Mike
But like who who figured out that they had a footage of a random guy from 2005 at a baseball game to be like, oh, shit, that's our new pope.
00:08:11
Mike
Like, how did this happen? Like, how did somebody think they saw somebody that like that must have I wouldn't have clicked, you know?
00:08:15
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. I, yeah. I don't know if maybe like he had saw himself on the TV or something and he had recorded it.
00:08:27
Victor Gaudiosi
And then maybe it's been used by like the, uh, the social media team for whatever his parish is back in the States, because I guess some, some, you know, some churches do that now where they use social media for some reason.
00:08:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Um, Yeah, I don't really know. i don't know how they pulled that up.
00:08:48
Mike
Like, that that's what I'm saying.
00:08:48
Victor Gaudiosi
it's It is like a...
00:08:51
Mike
Like, who who was watching the TV and was like, oh, shit, I have a video of that guy from 2005 at the baseball game. Like, you don't you don't just do that. You don't ah you don't just remember that.
00:09:04
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, it it could also be like maybe they had known, like maybe the White Sox like hosted them for...
00:09:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, you know what it was? It's his bro. Like his brother gave the footage to the White Sox.
00:09:24
Mike
Oh, so his brother had the footage.
00:09:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Like he was right. He was like, yeah, he probably was like, like he saw himself on TV. They recorded it and then they've they've had it for forever.
00:09:31
Mike
Okay. Okay.
00:09:34
Victor Gaudiosi
And now they're like oh yeah, like you could show this because it's pretty funny.
00:09:37
Mike
Okay. All right. That makes a lot more sense. I thought just some random dude from like Chicago was like, oh shit, i have I've seen that guy in a video.
00:09:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I know that guy.
00:09:44
Mike
i Yeah, I thought that would
00:09:46
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
Local Club Closure: Did the Pope Intervene?
00:09:47
Mike
be crazy.
00:09:47
Mike
But now I don't know if this is... a step forward or a step backwards for our favorite local business, the wicked fun club, because I don't know what the church next door, you know, like is Pope Leo going to stop on by and be like, Hey, you can't do this. Or is he going to be like, Hey, every, every one of God's children's has it. Right. You know?
00:10:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, I think they're different denominations, so I don't think the Pope's pulling up to anytime soon.
00:10:13
Mike
Oh, is it Baptist? Okay.
00:10:15
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:10:15
Mike
Okay. Okay.
00:10:19
Mike
Imagine if he did.
00:10:19
Victor Gaudiosi
I do need
00:10:20
Mike
Imagine if he just pulled up.
00:10:22
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah i do need to figure out what what's going on with Wicked Fun Club. It still seems like it's going to shut down. ah They do have a website, which is crazy. Yeah.
00:10:33
Mike
I sent you that reel, right? I sent you that reel of the owner was on, they were on the radio station, they were on PLR and the owner was on the phone and then like the priest was in studio and they're going back and forth.
00:10:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:10:48
Victor Gaudiosi
This is, wow, this is expensive.
00:10:53
Mike
Why, are they going to court? What have they done?
00:10:55
Victor Gaudiosi
no, no. I'm just saying if you want to be a ah member of the wicked fun club, it's $20 for couples or women, and then $30 for men per month. If you want to do a year, you have to pay 200. Yeah.
00:11:10
Victor Gaudiosi
I didn't you had to pay for this. It's pretty expensive.
00:11:15
Mike
I guess it makes sense. But also, like, how much is a social club? You know, like, I wonder what's an annual dues for, like, social
00:11:22
Victor Gaudiosi
oh Oh, my God. Oh, God, Jesus Christ.
00:11:26
Mike
Would you pull
00:11:28
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm just flicking through the tabs here, and it said best-selling sex toys, and I was like, oh, let's check that out, and I shouldn't have done that. Whoops, my bad.
00:11:37
Mike
We went from the Pope to the wicked fun.
00:11:39
Victor Gaudiosi
So, yeah.
00:11:39
Mike
pop
00:11:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, yeah. I mean, good luck to those people, I guess. ah I don't think they're going to win their court case. ah
00:11:50
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah honest Let me hit the news tab.
00:11:50
Mike
Do they have a date? I think we should show up to the, ah to the hearing.
00:11:54
Victor Gaudiosi
No, it's like it's like forced. to they They're forced to close their doors, it says.
00:11:59
Mike
Oh, it's official.
00:12:00
Victor Gaudiosi
They're like, yeah, it's this was from two weeks ago. I think we talked about this like ah month ago. Yeah, we talked about this a while ago.
00:12:09
Mike
They're forced to close until they have a ruling.
00:12:12
Victor Gaudiosi
No, I think the town was like, yeah, no, we're shutting you down.
00:12:15
Mike
sounds like don't even waste your time in court.
00:12:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:12:18
Mike
Jeez. Interesting. Well, pour one out for another local business.
00:12:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. That's that's rough, man.
00:12:31
Mike
Yeah.
00:12:31
Victor Gaudiosi
that's That's really cool. They're doing the businesses nowadays.
00:12:36
Mike
Big, big government stepping in. Big, big church.
00:12:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, big church, big government.
00:12:40
Mike
and
00:12:43
Mike
Jeez. I don't know.
00:12:45
Victor Gaudiosi
i thought there I thought this was a free country.
00:12:48
Mike
but Thank you.
00:12:49
Victor Gaudiosi
i thought I thought we had freedoms and rights in this country.
00:12:49
Mike
Thank you.
00:12:53
Mike
That's right. That's right. And they're being taken away from us.
00:12:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, what happened what happened to separation of church and state? why why is the Why is religion meddling with my sex club?
00:13:08
Mike
Is the parking lot not enough separation? I mean, I just don't understand.
00:13:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, exactly. It's in a completely different building.
00:13:14
Mike
That's right. I mean, i hate to say it but churches may be doing the same thing.
00:13:15
Victor Gaudiosi
and ah
00:13:19
Mike
You know, let's just let's just let's just think about that for a second, you know.
00:13:20
Victor Gaudiosi
You never know. Yeah, you never know what goes on between these walls.
00:13:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. And, you know, maybe i will i will say if if the Wicked Fun Club is having meetings at like 11 a.m. m on a Sunday, maybe they should change their times.
00:13:36
Mike
But they're not.
00:13:36
Victor Gaudiosi
Maybe not that early.
00:13:37
Mike
They're not having meetings at 11 on Sunday.
00:13:37
Victor Gaudiosi
Well,
Running a Bar: TV vs Reality
00:13:39
Victor Gaudiosi
that's what I'm saying.
00:13:39
Mike
Come on.
00:13:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, probably not. But, you know, maybe switch it up. Maybe change the direction there. But
00:13:47
Mike
and I think we should – let's start a petition.
00:13:51
Victor Gaudiosi
to to bring it back.
00:13:54
Mike
Or –
00:13:54
Victor Gaudiosi
Unfortunately, we can't do that because then we would look like just the biggest perverts out there. ah Advocating for the opening of a sex club, I think we would just look, it would be ah it'd be a pretty rough look for us.
00:14:08
Mike
Do you think that you, me, i you know, I thought about this the other day. Do you think that you, me, and Austin could successfully run a bar or like a social club?
00:14:19
Mike
now do you Now, successfully, though, do you think that could actually love that show?
00:14:22
Victor Gaudiosi
Have you seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Yeah, that it would be that, but much worse.
00:14:30
Mike
You think we'd be worse than Patty's Pub?
00:14:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Much worse. Yes, I think we'd be worse than Patty's Pub.
00:14:34
Mike
No, no. First of all, there's no... Okay, so who's who? That's what we got to... Like, we don't have a Charlie. You know, like, we can't do math.
00:14:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, i'm um yeah, I'm clearly den i'm clearly Dennis.
00:14:46
Mike
Okay.
00:14:47
Victor Gaudiosi
If anything, I mean, maybe you're Charlie, if anything.
00:14:47
Mike
Okay. Come behind
00:14:51
Victor Gaudiosi
You're not Frank. You're certainly not Frank.
00:14:53
Mike
No, no, no, no. You're Dennis? Then... Am I am i Mac?
00:14:59
Victor Gaudiosi
No, Austin's Mac.
00:15:01
Mike
Is he really Mac? Mac?
00:15:02
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I think I think you're Charlie.
00:15:05
Mike
Or is one of us D?
00:15:08
Victor Gaudiosi
Neither. I don't think any of us are D either.
00:15:11
Mike
Man. you think You really think we would be worse than Patty's Pub?
00:15:18
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, ah it'd be less funny. We'd be getting into less hijinks, probably more fights, because we're at running an actual business.
00:15:27
Mike
We could run the numbers and stuff.
00:15:27
Victor Gaudiosi
Uh...
00:15:28
Mike
That's what I'm saying is that like Austin could run the numbers. You know I'm saying we could You could do... you could you could do The websites and the promoting and this and that. you know I could be the guy behind a bar PRing it up, schmoozing it up.
00:15:42
Mike
you know I think we got a good thing going.
00:15:46
Victor Gaudiosi
I think that takes too much. I think, I think you're being too optimistic about what, what this would be. I do not think it would go that smoothly.
00:15:56
Mike
When you compare it to Patty's Pub, maybe. Yeah, sure.
00:16:01
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, what other could I compare it to?
00:16:01
Mike
don't know.
00:16:03
Victor Gaudiosi
you
00:16:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Cheers. It's not gonna be cheers.
00:16:08
Mike
No, i don't I don't think we're that good. I don't i don't think we're going to have regulars. I don't think we're going to have regulars like that.
00:16:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, that's what I'm saying.
00:16:15
Victor Gaudiosi
What other, what other show?
00:16:15
Mike
Nobody's getting off at 5pm. Yeah, what other bar shows are there? Or what other TV shows right had a bar? like like Remember Scrubs? They always went to the same bar?
00:16:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, but they didn't really, it was more of a, you know, obviously a hospital show.
00:16:33
Mike
yeah but Yeah, they didn't make it a bar. Yeah, I
00:16:36
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, how I met your mother has the, like the bar, but like they weren't actually working at the bar.
00:16:44
Mike
Yeah. Cheers.
00:16:47
Victor Gaudiosi
cheer yeah we wouldn't be oh you know what it it'd probably be like moe's tavern that would work no no no i'm behind i'm behind the bar depressed as shit talking about killing myself you and austin yeah you you and austin are the only people in there those are the regulars it's just the other people who work at the bar
00:16:52
Mike
Oh, no, I think that's what is that?
00:17:00
Mike
Two shots underneath at all times, you know.
00:17:11
Mike
okay now would we want Okay, now here's a good question. Will we want a bar that's like Moe's, that's just all regulars and nothing else? Or do we want patties that like always try something new to get people in but no regulars?
00:17:29
Victor Gaudiosi
I'd rather have no regulars. I feel like... I don't know. I feel like that's too monotonous, seeing the same people every single day.
00:17:38
Mike
But it steady pays your bills.
00:17:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Does it? If it's only, like, two regulars, like, that's not paying my bills. And then not only that, but it's like, all right we have two regulars, one of them gets a DUI, and now we're down to one regular?
00:17:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Fuck, man. How do we make money on that?
00:17:54
Mike
Well, he can still come to the bar. He just can't drive, you know?
00:17:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, not if he's doing three to five.
00:18:01
Mike
Well, it depends how bad DUI is.
00:18:02
Victor Gaudiosi
UI.
00:18:03
Mike
Yeah. Oh, if it's fifth DUI, then yeah, that's that's not good.
00:18:07
Victor Gaudiosi
now we're And now we're ah liable for that because we keep feeding them drinks.
00:18:07
Mike
that's We're liable. We're liable. Yeah. Yeah, we're losing our liquor license. You know what? Nah. Nah. We gotta be Patty's Pub.
00:18:18
Mike
We can't be most of
00:18:19
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, exactly. We have to be we have to be scheming. We have to be getting people in in and out. We have to be doing. Just outlandish things to keep the keep the pace up.
00:18:28
Mike
them.
00:18:33
Mike
I think they ordered an RPG to the bar once. I think we gotta find one on the black market.
00:18:37
Victor Gaudiosi
What's what's that?
00:18:39
Mike
RPG?
00:18:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, RPG. Oh, like the.
00:18:41
Mike
Yes.
00:18:42
Victor Gaudiosi
oh Yeah, we can get one of those. That's easy. All right.
00:18:45
Mike
but Is that easier than opening the bar?
00:18:49
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:18:50
Mike
Jesus.
00:18:50
Victor Gaudiosi
Getting an RPG.
00:18:51
Mike
I'm
00:18:51
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, we can get one of those.
00:18:54
Mike
trying to think of other parts.
00:18:54
Victor Gaudiosi
Probably cost less than opening a bar.
00:18:57
Mike
Oh, 100%. Easy, easy.
00:18:58
Victor Gaudiosi
but Let's
$1 vs $5 Million: A Hypothetical Debate
00:18:59
Victor Gaudiosi
see. Cost of RPG.
00:19:01
Mike
Oh, yeah, just Google that. Go ahead and give that a quick search.
00:19:07
Victor Gaudiosi
What? No way.
00:19:12
Victor Gaudiosi
no way
00:19:14
Mike
Where'd you find it? On eBay?
00:19:16
Victor Gaudiosi
You're telling me this costs $1,700?
00:19:22
Victor Gaudiosi
There's no shot that an RPG costs $1,700.
00:19:27
Mike
Come on, it has to.
00:19:30
Victor Gaudiosi
could buy one of these and it's legal? What?
00:19:34
Mike
Do you need paperwork?
00:19:36
Victor Gaudiosi
i don't know. Atlanticfirearms.com says you can buy these legally. There's no shot.
00:19:44
Mike
ah should we Should we buy one?
00:19:47
Victor Gaudiosi
All right, let listen to this. Official military issue. oh oh, non-firing. That makes sense.
00:19:54
Mike
ah yeah.
00:19:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Fair enough. But bless you, I think with the right parts.
00:19:59
Mike
like
00:20:02
Victor Gaudiosi
We probably could get it to fire.
00:20:04
Mike
I mean, can't we just get a 3D printer and just do that?
00:20:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:20:10
Mike
i mean, that's whatever you're doing.
00:20:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Also, what's the point of selling me a fake one?
00:20:15
Mike
Yeah, I mean, we're here for the authenticity.
00:20:17
Victor Gaudiosi
but so I want a real one. I'm going spend $1,700.
00:20:23
Mike
Did you know there's a Wikipedia page of a list of fictional bars and pubs?
00:20:29
Victor Gaudiosi
I guess that makes sense if you're ripping it for TV shows. You can legally obtain an RPG. you just have to get an and an NFA tax stamp for a destructive device.
00:20:41
Mike
Oh my God.
00:20:42
Victor Gaudiosi
And it takes a year.
00:20:45
Mike
It takes a year?
00:20:46
Victor Gaudiosi
It says this process this process can almost take a year, so make sure you start as soon as you decide you want to own one.
00:20:46
Mike
Holy shit.
00:20:52
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, want to own one.
00:20:56
Victor Gaudiosi
so
00:20:56
Mike
Sign up. Sign up.
00:20:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. did Should I get the process going right now?
00:21:01
Mike
why What's the worst is that can happen? They background check you? You're good.
00:21:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, my background check's fine.
00:21:07
Mike
ah There's a lot of bars in Grand Theft Auto, man. A lot of Grand Theft Auto showing up.
00:21:12
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, of course, but... That's crazy.
00:21:14
Mike
The bada-bing.
00:21:15
Victor Gaudiosi
This definitely just got me put on a list.
00:21:18
Mike
Yeah, you're you're brave for doing that. You are brave for doing that.
00:21:21
Victor Gaudiosi
I mean, it's just it's just simple fact-finding. It's not like I'm Googling some other suspect things along with cost of an RPG launcher. That would probably raise some alarms, but... You know, I'm keeping... you know That's something... The other stuff is we're all Googling like three weeks, so there's a little bit of separation.
00:21:42
Victor Gaudiosi
You know what I mean?
00:21:42
Mike
Right, right, right, right, right.
00:21:43
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:21:44
Mike
And then like in three more weeks, you'll like start looking up recipes for crystal meth, you know, hotels, where to buy shovels, you know.
00:21:48
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Hotels to stay in. Yeah, I was going to I was going say a specific location, but I don't think I should say that.
00:21:58
Mike
i think I could figure it out.
00:21:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah, I'll keep it. I'll keep it a little, you know. Well, you guys can fill in the blanks here. It's a Mad Libs for for our listeners.
00:22:11
Mike
Patty's Pub. The pit stop from Talladega Nights?
00:22:18
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man. What else did I have on the docket today?
00:22:24
Mike
Oh, I heard a scenario, if if you don't find on your docket, i heard ah i heard a would you rather. and thought I thought it was pretty
00:22:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Okay. Wow, you're finally bringing up something. You're going to bring it up when Austin isn't here? That's crazy.
00:22:35
Mike
good.
00:22:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Also, also, I guess we should explain it to listeners.
00:22:36
Mike
It's not as good as yours.
00:22:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Austin, we thought was going to hop on at some point. And I guess not because 20 minutes ago he goes, sorry, guys, driving home. And I said, OK, just hop in when you can. And he just didn't respond.
00:22:49
Mike
Oh, he responded?
00:22:50
Victor Gaudiosi
No, he didn't respond. So I just assume. When he said all good boys, I'm assuming he just meant, yeah, I'm not hopping on today.
00:22:58
Mike
On my way back, I'll go. Oh, okay. I just see that now.
00:23:00
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. and But I said, like, hop in when you can. So I i thought I implied that we're going to wait a little bit. I mean, we're not waiting, but like, you know.
00:23:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Whatever. It doesn't matter. um But yeah, throw throw your throw your wouldgerather at me.
00:23:17
Mike
Okay. I heard it earlier today. Would you rather have $5 million dollars tomorrow or for the next 10 years, anything you buy is $1?
00:23:34
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm taking the $1 easily. easily
00:23:37
Mike
So the caveat is, obviously the $5 million is legit. um ah The caveat for the dollar is um everything costs a dollar, but you can't flip it. Right. So if you buy a car, that's a dollar.
00:23:54
Mike
You can't flip it to make that money. Right. If you gift it to somebody, you could buy it pay for it for a dollar, but they can't flip it. Right. So it's like, but it's like anything you buy, anything will cost one dollar.
00:24:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, that's that's fine.
00:24:06
Mike
And then after 10 years, everything goes back to regular price.
00:24:07
Victor Gaudiosi
See...
00:24:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, that's fine. i I saw a bunch of... i i did I think I saw this on Reddit, and a bunch of people were like, yeah, i would just buy a bunch of rental properties that I could rent out. I'm not really that...
00:24:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Ambitious isn't the word. Psychotic's not the word. But like um like, materialistic, I guess, I would say, or like, counting my... Like, I don't...
00:24:35
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't give a shit about making a fuck ton of money. I don't want to be a billionaire. If you're telling me I could buy a house and like a bunch of like stuff I like for a dollar.
00:24:46
Victor Gaudiosi
And even if I can't, I don't need to make money off of that. That's fine. I would buy three houses for myself.
00:24:50
Mike
Yeah.
00:24:52
Victor Gaudiosi
I would just have like a house and bunch of different places that I can go to. yeah know what mean?
00:24:57
Mike
Because you can get there for a dollar.
00:24:57
Victor Gaudiosi
It's not about, Yeah. And I could get there for a dollar for the next 10 years if I'm talking about flights. Like, i don't know. I think it's a little bit of a I get it. Like five million dollars seems really appealing.
00:25:08
Victor Gaudiosi
But like at the same time, if I'm just buying a bunch of stuff for my future with for for a dollar.
00:25:13
Mike
Yeah.
00:25:16
Victor Gaudiosi
That's all I kind of really need.
00:25:19
Mike
i guess I guess the incentive is, right, like if you get $5 million, dollars you could use it to flip it and make more. But in essence, right, like can't you, if you're buying stock, can't you buy it for the dollar and then flip it also?
00:25:31
Mike
Like, you know.
00:25:32
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, no, because then it would kind of invalidate your, the thing, the caveat that would be making money.
00:25:36
Mike
So then, yes. yeah So I guess that's why people would take the $5 million and is because they could, you know, throw it in a stock or invest it and like double it, triple it, whatever the case is, but.
00:25:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, for sure. But it's like, i don't know, like if the goal is to have a bunch of personal wealth, then buy a bunch of expensive shit for $1. And then you have a bunch of personal wealth, at least in my mind, like,
00:25:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Buying like three or four houses for myself, buying a bunch of cars for myself that I want. If everything's a fucking dollar, I'm going crazy.
00:26:06
Mike
But I'm curious, like, okay, so it's for 10 years. So I'm curious after ted the 10 years, if you sell the asset, does it sell for a dollar or does it sell for the actual amount?
00:26:18
Victor Gaudiosi
I think, I think if, if going along with the, like the whole scheme and the caveat, if you try and sell it you sell for a dollar.
00:26:28
Mike
Yeah, yeah. So that would suck, though. That would suck. I mean, you have it for – sure, I mean, I I would sell it, you know, but if you're – after the 10 years, if you trying to make money, you're not going to get money.
00:26:34
Victor Gaudiosi
Maybe, but like...
00:26:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, but like, who gives a shit? Like, that's the thing. I'll just keep working my job. You know what i mean? Like, obviously, it's not like I'm... I mean, I guess at that point it's, well, don't know. At that point you could work like 30 hours a week and then have an like, if you make whatever, $20 an hour at $30 a week and you bring that home, you're still making an exorbitant amount of money.
00:26:52
Mike
Okay.
00:26:59
Victor Gaudiosi
It's like the equivalent of making $6 million dollars a week or some shit like that. If everything's just cost a fucking dollar.
00:27:09
Mike
I'm trying to think of things that would that wouldn't make sense for it to cost a dollar, but I feel like everything would make sense. right like Obviously, the big ticket prices like houses, plane tickets, cars, like the dollar works out.
00:27:22
Mike
But I'm just thinking, like what would make
00:27:23
Victor Gaudiosi
ah one water bottle at Costco. You're losing money on that. That's 25 cents normally. Now it's a dollar. That kind of sucks. you can't buy that.
00:27:34
Mike
I mean, you're even you're even making out on the Costco hot dog because the hot dogs above you.
00:27:38
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, you're getting. Yeah, you're you're saving 50 cents.
00:27:42
Mike
But but then again, so what's the point of the wealth if you can't if you're not going to. Like, I get you right. Like, I get what you said. Like, what's the point of the wealth that if everything costs a dollar, then why why keep reinvesting that money, you know?
00:27:56
Victor Gaudiosi
That's what I'm saying. If you already own a bunch of at like, ah don't know, for some people, it's about having a bunch of money to have a bunch of power and to like feel good about yourself and have ego. But if you kind of strip that away and you're just like, oh well, all I really want to do is have like three or four properties, you know, for my family, like a vacation house, a second house, an apartment in Manhattan or something like that for fun.
00:28:18
Mike
Right, right.
00:28:19
Victor Gaudiosi
You buy all of that for a dollar and then you just have that forever. What does it matter? You know what i mean? Like you don't need, you don't need to build a net worth of fucking $80 million dollars with your invested money.
00:28:30
Victor Gaudiosi
You have a bunch of shit you, that, you know, is already there.
00:28:35
Mike
So I guess if you keep it till you die, I guess you're going to have to pass it down to the kids because if the kids try to sell it, they're going to get a dollar for it.
00:28:42
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, exactly. You just keep passing it down or again, I guess at that point, like you just sell it for a dollar. Who cares?
00:28:50
Mike
I guess at the end of the day, if you only paid a dollar for it, you made your money back.
00:28:54
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, you get you you get your profit back or whatever.
00:28:54
Mike
Technically.
Real Estate Realities: High Costs and $1 Deal
00:28:56
Victor Gaudiosi
i think, i don't know, looking at it from ah like a standpoint of, like obviously, like ah there are some things that will eventually wear down within the 10 years. I guess you got to go crazy on 9, month Good number, by the way. Didn't even didn't even notice that.
00:29:15
Victor Gaudiosi
ah You got to go crazy on that month. You got to buy a bunch of stuff for the next 10 years. You got to set yourself up again. and know I'm buying a whole new set of cars. I'm buying a whole other four houses or something, I guess. I'm buying all the renovations I need for the other houses and the other cars. you know If everything costs a dollar, I'm just going to keep doing that.
00:29:34
Victor Gaudiosi
And then not only that, but like think about how much you pay in rent. Think about how much you pay in a car payment. You get to save that. ah You get to save all that. Oh my God, he's just pulling into his house. That's crazy.
00:29:46
Mike
Tell him, hop on.
00:29:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, just hop on.
00:29:47
Mike
Tell him we don't care what he looks like. we don't care we We don't care if he's on the toilet. Tell him, hop in.
00:29:57
Mike
Ladies and gentlemen, this is going be the most impromptu laundry in the basement we've ever experienced.
00:29:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:30:01
Mike
But you know what? That's the beauty of what we're going for.
00:30:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. But yeah, i I genuinely think that if... if I don't know if you don't really care. i mean, people are different. People are going to want to invest that money to have that sort of like ego and shit.
00:30:18
Victor Gaudiosi
You know, it I think that's just like a human, like a part of the human condition. But for me, it's like, i don't know, vacations are, I'm going on vacation every month if it's a dollar.
00:30:28
Mike
Oh, easy. Oh, easy.
00:30:28
Victor Gaudiosi
You know what i mean? Like I'm going, I'm going to a bunch of events I'm doing. Like I'll work a job and then I'll do other stuff or I'll find a way to make money.
00:30:38
Victor Gaudiosi
you know, I'll find a way to make $800 a month and then just use that $800 to do a bunch of cool things. I have 800, I have now 800 opportunities to do something with those $800. know what I mean?
00:30:53
Mike
Yeah, I think I think you're right. I think you're right. I think you're right.
00:30:59
Victor Gaudiosi
Because that, that's the other thing too.
00:30:59
Mike
um
00:31:00
Victor Gaudiosi
It's like $500, $5 million dollars and what this economy you're fucked. Yeah. Stocks are fucking going down. What are you investing in that possibly gets you your money back? I mean, I think there's a lot of stuff you could invest in real estate, stuff like that, obviously.
00:31:14
Victor Gaudiosi
But I don't know, because then and you become a like a landlord and then you're like holding on to a bunch of properties and you got deal with the maintenance on that.
00:31:25
Victor Gaudiosi
You got to like control rent and shit.
00:31:26
Mike
yeah Yeah, it's not going to add up. It's not going to add up.
00:31:29
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I don't want that. I don't want that hassle. I just want a bunch of stuff for a dollar. You know it goes back to a dollar?
00:31:37
Mike
I'm good with that.
00:31:38
Victor Gaudiosi
the The dollar menu is back at fucking McDonald's with this, I'll tell you that.
00:31:42
Mike
When's the SnackRab coming back?
00:31:42
Victor Gaudiosi
One dollar McChicken. i don't they They started rolling out those chicken tenders, and I heard they were kind of ass. I'm a little bit upset with that, but I think that's what they're using for the snack wraps, the McCrispy tenders or whatever.
00:31:50
Mike
don't know.
00:31:57
Mike
and
00:31:58
Victor Gaudiosi
So...
00:31:59
Mike
No, You got you gotta do you gotta do just like it was. But yeah, the dollar menu will be will return, which is which is very nice.
00:32:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:32:07
Mike
Which is very nice.
00:32:07
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm trying to think like, well, like when I say like an apartment in Manhattan, I do mean like a ah hundred million dollar apartment. I do mean like the most expensive shit I can buy.
00:32:14
Mike
Oh, yeah, like Mad Men, floor, the whole thing.
00:32:17
Victor Gaudiosi
Like.
00:32:20
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Which is like not that hard to find because when you look at a bunch of these apartments in New York, all of billionaires row is essentially empty because it's too expensive.
00:32:31
Mike
Jesus.
00:32:32
Victor Gaudiosi
Like there are a bunch of, there's a bunch of ah houses and apartments inside of New York that like cost like $20 million dollars that no one will ever, ever buy.
00:32:41
Mike
yeah I'm sorry. I um i mean, if if everything's dollar, I'll get one, but I'm buying land. I'm buying land, man.
00:32:50
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm buying, I'm buying a bunch of properties, but that's, that's the thing though. Right. If I'm buying all these properties and it's just for me, I only need like four.
00:33:01
Mike
Exactly. Exactly.
00:33:02
Victor Gaudiosi
I don't need to buy a bunch of stuff like like, will I buy the most expensive thing possible? but Probably. But.
00:33:07
Mike
ah hundred percent. no It's a dollar.
00:33:09
Victor Gaudiosi
It's a dollar. Exactly. Yeah, I'm going to go to the highest priced apartment. The highest priced condo for sale in New York is 40 million dollars. It's a three bedroom, two bath.
00:33:18
Mike
Jesus.
00:33:23
Mike
Jesus.
00:33:24
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. So it's like, i don't know if that's a dollar. Yeah, I'm buying it. and Like, that's cool.
00:33:31
Mike
Yeah, I think I'm sold. I think I'm getting the dollar.
00:33:35
Mike
I think nailed that one. think nailed it.
00:33:43
Mike
yeah think i think we i think we nailed that one like we nailed
00:33:47
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah i think i think we nailed too i don't i don't really see a viable option on why you would go for the five like the five million dollars not buying you the 40 million dollars penthouse but the one dollar is
00:33:59
Mike
Yeah, yeah, you're right about that.
00:34:01
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah i'm also probably just like again i guess with the caveat of like uh Like you can't sell it or whatever, or you sell it for what it's like, what you paid for at the end of the 10 years.
00:34:12
Victor Gaudiosi
Like I'm probably just buying my friends a bunch. Like I'm buying you a house. I'm buying, I'm buying everybody a house.
00:34:17
Mike
Hell yeah.
00:34:18
Victor Gaudiosi
That's honestly, that's probably, I probably do a fuck ton of philanthropy and I just buy homeless people houses. That's probably what I end up doing with it. I just like buy other people like things for a dollar. Why make people spend a bunch of money when I could get it for a dollar?
00:34:28
Mike
i mean
00:34:32
Mike
Honestly, you're pretty right. Like it's, I mean, or if if if everything's a dollar, just spread the wealth, you know?
00:34:34
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:34:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. and then I'm also buying some armies for a dollar.
00:34:43
Mike
Some what?
00:34:43
Victor Gaudiosi
And I'm some armies.
00:34:44
Mike
so what
00:34:45
Victor Gaudiosi
I'm I'm I'm doing some I'm doing some. ah We're going to take over the world with just one dollar. Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. OK, I was wrong. the The most expensive apartment in Manhattan. I was I was too low on the map.
00:34:58
Victor Gaudiosi
I had to go higher. It's one hundred and ten million dollars.
00:35:02
Mike
110? My God.
00:35:04
Victor Gaudiosi
ah ten million But here's the thing.
00:35:04
Mike

00:35:06
Victor Gaudiosi
You get a gorgeous view of Central Park. You are on top of Central Park.
00:35:09
Mike
of course. Jesus.
00:35:13
Victor Gaudiosi
Dude, the the homeowners association, like there's there's an HOA in this building. It's $34,000 a month. That's the HOA fee.
00:35:23
Mike
What? That's like somebody's salary. Jesus.
00:35:26
Victor Gaudiosi
That's my salary. That's how much I'm
00:35:31
Mike
My God. ah man what it means to be rich holy hell
00:35:35
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. This shit's crazy, though. it's got a It's got a golf simulator, has a gym. i would i mean, i I would hope for $110 million, dollars I would hope this stuff has, like, a bunch of cool shit in it.
00:35:42
Mike
and
00:35:48
Mike
they're building um there's there's already apartment complex built right across from the yard goat stadium but they're building another one and they're putting um They're putting um the pools on the roof, which like I know in a lot of cities, that's where apartment complex put, you know, their stuff.
00:36:06
Mike
But we're doing like the luxury apartments and they're throwing like the pools and the patio and everything on like the rooftop.
00:36:07
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:36:12
Mike
I'm like, that's pretty cool. But I'm like downtown Hartford, that's a little crazy. But then again, where are you going to put it, you know?
00:36:19
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I mean, probably just it is a little bit weird, I would say, having it on the I think any apartment on like or any pool on the roof is kind of weird, but.
00:36:30
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:36:31
Mike
I mean, I get it for, obviously for cities, like I understand that, but like Harvard is not that big of a city to do that, you know?
00:36:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:36:40
Mike
it's not that It's not that serious of a city to do that.
00:36:44
Victor Gaudiosi
mean, you know, some people, some people enjoy it. So. But my first thought was like, I saw a bunch of videos in Thailand, like last month where the apartments are on, like the, the pools on the roof of the apartment.
00:36:58
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:58
Victor Gaudiosi
And like when the, when the like earthquake hit, it was just like shaking a bunch of water, like off the, off the building. was like, I guess that could happen, but like, How often does an earthquake hit New York or Hartford? I mean, fucking never.
00:37:14
Mike
Yeah, yeah. um I just didn't think Harvard was that kind of a city that that we needed pools on the rooftop. But ah cool. Interesting. But I didn't think we were there.
00:37:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Well, yeah, I mean, don't know. yeah They're trying to gentrify it. So, of course, they're going to throw some stuff that appeal to a younger crowd.
00:37:32
Mike
Yeah, but dude, it's expensive. This shit's expensive.
00:37:34
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, of I mean, what's and what's not expensive now?
00:37:37
Mike
That's why we take the dollar.
00:37:39
Victor Gaudiosi
ah Exactly.
00:37:41
Mike
we take the dollar.
00:37:42
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh my God. Even some of the houses, like I'm just like, I'm on Zillow now just looking at what I would buy for a dollar. Uh, and some there's, I'm, I'm looking at houses for rent now, not even houses to own.
00:37:53
Victor Gaudiosi
And like some of the stuff in like Fairfield County, like this house in Greenwich is $60,000 month to rent. Yeah. $60,000 a month. Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:00
Mike
What? $60,000 a month to rent.

Mike, what do you got going on in the background there? We're getting a copywriter for that.
00:39:02
Victor Gaudiosi
I think it's too indiscernible for that to actually get copyright struck, but that would be pretty funny.
00:39:07
Mike
I'm pretty sure a majority of the actors and people from the show are now dead, so I'm not really worried about it.
00:39:14

The network will collect the money.

Austin
Oh, um no good. No, no, no.
00:43:29

Austin
Come on here and I compliment Victor.
00:46:03
Victor Gaudiosi
I appreciate it.
00:46:04
Austin
but
00:46:04
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah shit i my
00:46:07
Mike
Yes, midget is widely considered a derogatory and offensive slur when referring to people with dwarfism.
00:46:10
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Then why'd you say it?
00:46:11
Austin
what Why did you say we just said that you can't say it?
00:46:12
Victor Gaudiosi
You just drink said so casually.
00:46:16
Mike
Historical context, the term has roots in the exploitation and dehumanizations of people with dwarfism in freak shows and circuses.
00:46:25
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, exactly.
00:46:25
Austin
Right, right.
00:46:26
Victor Gaudiosi
That's why it's a bad thing.
00:46:28
Austin
Exactly.
00:46:30
Mike
but But they have a little people of America. oh my God. The little people of America and other organizations, different than people with dwarfism, actually campaign for the use of the word mission.

00:46:37
Austin
are you laughing at that?
00:46:38
Victor Gaudiosi

00:46:42
Mike
I can't believe that's a thing.

Yeah, man, it's like they're advocating against people not saying it.
00:46:45
Austin
and of
00:46:46
Mike
andmittance Please consider dwarf little person, person of short stature, person with dwarfism.
00:46:48
Austin
right
00:46:57
Mike
Ultimately, the best approach is to ask the individual how they prefer to be identified. But it's not an identification...
00:47:03
Austin
Yes.
00:47:05
Mike
But dwarfism is not an identification, is it?
00:47:06
Victor Gaudiosi
i mean, it is. Well,
00:47:10
Austin
People use it as a form of identification.
00:47:10

00:47:32
Victor Gaudiosi
the Calling it the M word is crazy.
00:47:34

Mike
This is literally...

Austin

Yeah, dude, because it's written on the screen doesn't mean that you can read it.
00:47:50
Mike
So I'm alive i' ah i'm allowed to use it if they put it on there. Just bleep it out.
00:47:53
Victor Gaudiosi
No, that's not how that works.
00:47:53
Austin
No. um
00:47:54
Mike
Jesus Christ.
00:47:55
Victor Gaudiosi
That's not that works.
00:47:55
Austin
No, it's not how it works at all.
00:47:56
Victor Gaudiosi
That's not how it works.
00:47:58
Austin
That is so crazy.
00:47:58
Mike
It says...
00:47:59
Victor Gaudiosi
And listen, listen, this is this is less bad than the other one.
00:47:59
Austin
Just because it's written in Huckleberry Finn, does it is it okay for you to say it?
00:48:00
Mike
They literally... and
00:48:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:04
Austin
like i don't understand.
00:48:04
Victor Gaudiosi
Are you going to read some Kendrick Lamar lyrics to us?
00:48:07
Austin
Yeah.
00:48:11
Victor Gaudiosi
Listen, definitely not the same things. It's less severe, but still kind of got to keep that.
00:48:15
Mike
That's what I'm saying. There's tears. There's tears to this.
00:48:16
Victor Gaudiosi
Just keep that mentality of I shouldn't say.
00:48:21
Austin
is wild.
00:48:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:48:24
Mike
I'm sorry. Just never mind. You know, it's okay. I like to read LPA's statement regarding the M word.
00:48:26
Victor Gaudiosi
Speaking.
00:48:26
Austin
No, you can't even say you're sorry now.
00:48:28
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:48:28
Austin
i mean, it's it's written in its own.
00:48:33
Mike
Okay. Holy shit, it's a PDF.
00:48:37
Austin
what Why is it such a crazy thing?
00:48:38
Victor Gaudiosi
you
00:48:39
Mike
Okay.
00:48:39
Austin
like are you saying
00:48:40
Victor Gaudiosi
Wait, the PDF is throwing you off? Yeah, it's like a normal...
00:48:43
Austin
Are you saying that little people aren't capable of putting out PDFs? Is that why you're so...
00:48:48
Mike
and But they they put the word in like five, six times. You're not supposed to read
00:48:53
Victor Gaudiosi
They're telling you not... You can read it, you just don't say it out loud.
00:48:56
Austin
Yeah. Why is this such a hard concept, Mike?
00:48:58
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:49:01
Austin
But if they wrote it down, then I can't say
00:49:02
Mike
to read
00:49:03
Victor Gaudiosi
Then I can say it.
00:49:05
Mike
we This slur is merely outdated but discriminatory and abusive. We are committed to having it eliminated from all context, including and includ none this is the park this is the part including important it's including its use as mascots.
00:49:13
Austin
You guys hear him chuckling while he's reading this stuff right now?
00:49:15
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah He's making fun of their plight.
00:49:18
Austin
he's He's making fun of your plate.
00:49:23
Mike
What's mascot is is has the mor in it
00:49:31
Victor Gaudiosi
I think they mean it for like the people who do the wrestling because they still call it like that.
00:49:31
Austin
That's
00:49:39
Victor Gaudiosi
Blank wrestling.
00:49:39
Mike
But people, but this is what I'm, I'm just, I'm just going to say, but they literally advertise it.
00:49:40
Victor Gaudiosi
What?
00:49:43
Victor Gaudiosi
What?
00:49:46
Mike
Midget wrestling. That's the reason why people go is because it's midget wrestling.
00:49:49
Austin
i and
00:49:52
Mike
So how can you say it's a derogatory term when it's own people are using that term to make money?
00:50:00
Austin
Well, and you could say the same for other cultures too, Mike.
00:50:02
Victor Gaudiosi
I was going to say, there I think there's a little bit of a parallel here.
00:50:05
Austin
I think there is 100%.
00:50:05
Victor Gaudiosi
Not as severe, but there's a parallel.
00:50:09
Victor Gaudiosi
That doesn't that doesn't like that doesn't mean we could use it, though.
00:50:10
Mike
I literally...
00:50:13
Austin
Mike, can you you put your hands around that dog's neck and you shut it up? Holy crap.
00:50:23
Mike

00:50:23
Victor Gaudiosi
Oh, man.
00:50:25
Mike
Yes, I know.
00:50:25
Austin

Mike
I used a derogatory term. I apologize. I learned. I understand that better now.

Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, yeah.
00:50:32

Austin
Off the sound!
00:50:54
Victor Gaudiosi
He muted himself.

Austin

Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:51:05
Mike

Now, let me let me do a flip side. that Yes, Mike, you texted us you texted me saying, hop on, so this is your fault.
00:52:09

Mike
Yeah.
00:52:32
Austin
What was it?
00:52:32
Mike
And you know, i don't i I think this is where we end the episode. I don't think there's much more we got to talk about. You know what I'm saying?
00:52:37
Victor Gaudiosi
what awesome just got on yeah
00:52:38
Austin
Zillow.
00:52:38
Mike
Because, you know, because Austin's just going shit on something else. You know, he's just going to take a shit on it.
00:52:43
Austin
I mean, that's inevitable. ah you know
00:52:45
Victor Gaudiosi
yeah
00:52:46
Austin
But Mike, you have to give me something to – like you have to to not present something for me to shit on in order for me to do that. And you you know you you always present something for
00:52:53
Victor Gaudiosi
Having
00:52:58
Mike
Is really eating a cookie really harming you? Is that what it is?
00:53:01
Austin
shit on. Yeah, when you're on a podcast where you're supposed to talk, muffling through talking, yeah, that seems like a no-no for me, buddy.
00:53:07
Mike
How many times have you sipped a coffee? Nobody said anything. s Sipping apple cider, sipping a coffee. That's okay.
00:53:12
Victor Gaudiosi
having ah having a having a liquid is having liquids different than eating.
00:53:13
Mike
We're good with that.
00:53:13
Austin
Having a drink, yeah, it's a little bit different. I think we have to agree.
00:53:17
Mike
I mean, i'm not I'm not having a full steak dinner out here. I'm going to a little snacky poo. Is that all right? I mean, what's going on here?
00:53:24

00:53:28
Mike
not Not everybody. Not everybody.
00:53:30
Austin
No?
00:53:31
Victor Gaudiosi

Victor Gaudiosi
You don't agree?
00:53:33
Mike
we don't We don't know. We don't know who doesn't agree. He's out here generalizing, just like did, calling him
00:53:38
Victor Gaudiosi
i do think the majority of podcast listeners don't like hearing someone eat into the mic.
00:53:43
Austin
Right, exactly.
00:53:44
Mike
Into my iPhone, Mike? That's crazy. But anyways, like, you know, he's putting a general, he's putting a generalization.
00:53:47
Victor Gaudiosi
Either way, it doesn't.
00:53:50
Mike
okay Like I did with people with dwarfism. I put a generalization. Okay. And I learned and the dog and I talked about it and we're good, you know, but here's Austin.

Oh no, you need to come in. You got to pick this up. You got to get this. Okay. All right. You know, it's, it takes, it takes a while.
00:55:07
Austin
It's a process, you know?
00:55:09
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah, I mean, to be to be fair, it is Mother's Day.

Austin

Yeah. I mean, Hey, listen, we haven't grown in followers the past.
00:55:55
Austin
We have. And we're happy that every single one of you are here listening to us.
00:55:57
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah. Yeah. We did get, I put out one, I've put out one clip in the past, like three weeks, just cause I've been pretty, you know, lazy and we haven't really gotten a lot of content, but I put out one of the clips about us talking about how the draft process is like fucked up and like, uh,
00:56:14
Victor Gaudiosi
You know, it was like tangent tangentially like related to Shador, but it was more about the process.
00:56:18
Austin
Hold on, hold on. on you You can't say a word like tangential. Break it down for Mike.
00:56:27
Austin
You can't just be out here spewing big words like that. You got to break it down for him.
00:56:34
Austin
Anyway, sorry.
00:56:34
Victor Gaudiosi
ah it was It was semi-related to Shador, but it was more talking about the draft process as a whole and how I don't trust.
00:56:34
Austin
Continue.
00:56:41
Victor Gaudiosi
It was like, oh yeah, you know, I was like, oh, I don't, yeah I take all these things with a grain of salt because these are all like old dudes not understanding the new the youth.
00:56:45
Austin
yeah
00:56:48
Victor Gaudiosi
So many hate comments being like, yeah, be like, stop making excuses for Shador.
00:56:50
Austin
Oh, really?
00:56:53
Victor Gaudiosi
He's a grown ass man.
00:56:55
Austin
Oh, my God.
00:56:56
Victor Gaudiosi
Like he's a, he went in there and bombed those interviews. It's his fault. And it's like, yeah, man, again, that's not really my point here.
00:57:00
Mike
um
00:57:02
Victor Gaudiosi
The point is, a lot of these people kind of suck and are doing like a bunch of bad shit. I don't know. Like, yeah, they just want to hate on Shador.
00:57:10
Mike
yeah
00:57:10
Austin
And they know that, too. They're just upset.
00:57:13
Victor Gaudiosi
It's either, it's either you get like fanboys of Shador who are like, like, you know, standing him or whatever, or you get people who are like, you guys fucking suck for supporting that loser.
00:57:25
Austin
Yeah, I mean...
00:57:25
Victor Gaudiosi
It's like, i don't know. People just want to actively hate on things. So it is what it is. But the clip wasn't really about him. It was about, How I don't trust people who anonymously anonymously say shit in the draft process to knock a kid.
00:57:40
Mike
Okay.
00:57:41
Austin
Well, that's what we want. We want to start a conversation here, you know?
00:57:44
Victor Gaudiosi
Yeah.
00:57:44
Austin
And...
00:57:45
Victor Gaudiosi
I think I rep replied to like one of them like kind of being like, yeah, man, like again, clip's not really about just your door. It's about the process in general. And... Literally all the other comments are like, nope, fuck you. Fuck both of you.
00:57:58
Victor Gaudiosi
You should kill yourselves.
00:57:59
Austin
ah No, nobody said that.
00:58:00
Victor Gaudiosi
Shador should kill us.
00:58:01
Austin
Nobody said that.
00:58:01
Victor Gaudiosi
No one said that. It would be pretty funny.
00:58:02
Austin
Oh, my god that would be
00:58:02
Victor Gaudiosi
If someone told us to kill ourselves, that'd be really funny.
00:58:06
