All right, talk to the town this morning. It's JD Vance and how impressive he was last night in that debate. I watched it when we got home. Wife and kids were sleeping. I popped it back on to see if I'd missed anything. And no, he was pretty fucking flawless. Man, even some of my Democrat friends were like shit. That guy could be a fucking real president one day, you know? I think a lot of people were happy to see a more or less civil conversation for the first time in eight years, right? Yeah, like honestly, it's been a, it's maybe even longer than that because the 2012, Frank, I think it started with the media in the 2012 election. Not a fan of Mitt Romney, not a fan of Paul Ryan, but the media propped up Obama's failures and made them look like successes. On the campaign trail, there's, and there's some famous version that you can look, look these up on Twitter or Google or whatever the fuck, but there's some pretty notable examples of Mitt Romney saying things. And then the reporter, like getting fact checked by a reporter or something like that, and the reporter was completely wrong. And he's like, no, that's not true. And because it's the media, they're like, oh, well, it's a logical fallacy called appeal to authority, right? It's like, well, the media should know, the scientists should know, right? So I'm going to trust them, it's a fallacy. That happened a lot back then. So I guess it's been a good 12 years now since we've had a legit look at one president or another. Yeah. I posted this on Twitter last night too. I just said, how is it possible that JD Vance and Tim Wallace came off as more likable than the moderators in this debate? God damn, they were fucking awful. And if you go back to all the debates we've had this year, shockingly, shockingly, CNN was the most professional and fair and then it had the best setup of all of the debates. And it was Dana Bash and fucking Jake Tapper for '96. Who knew? All the debates we had this year, CNN was the moderators who were going to be relatively fair over there, like, shocked, loved to see JD Vance go after homegirl after she kept trying to cut him off and said they would in fact check and everything else and he goes, no, you're fact checking and I'll answer all the fucking questions there. All good. And I think after last night, he's got on stage in his presence and performance what Ron DeSantis doesn't have. And if Ron had what JD had last night, who knows what he would have done in the primaries throughout this upcoming election cycle here, but he doesn't. And if Trump indeed gets in with Vance there, that's a pretty strong candidate for 2028 coming out for the repubes. But we'll find out in this election. A lot of people last night, including CNN, and said he had won, that was another shocker last night. MSNBC, like you said, was the only one that didn't. And the main conversation that I kept following on Twitter and elsewhere was that Tiananmen Square thing. Now, I was not that familiar with that story. And obviously he looked frozen on camera when they brought it up, but I didn't know that going into the debate what that was even about. Did you? - Yeah, I mean, this is the fucking, like if you were gonna draw up a bio for Tim Walz and forget about the like time and location parts of the bio and think just about character traits and a little embellishment, that's who he is. It's not enough that he was in China and that he made observations about this or that. He had to be there during Tiananmen Square, right? - Yeah. - 'Cause that makes the story just a little bit better. You can't trust a goddamn thing he says. That's it, that's really all it is. And every one of you out there knows somebody like this. They don't just say like, "Oh, I was doing this or I was doing that." They've got a story for everything. "Oh, I'm fucking, yeah, I did that too." Or whatever the fuck. I was on that helicopter, Brian Williams. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? Steve ran as a UC. I was at 9/11. He was in New York. He just wasn't down there at the building. Why even say that? Why even say it? It doesn't do anything for you. And these days you're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught. Tim Walz is a piece of shit human being. And I think we saw it on display last night. He, I've never seen anybody more nervous at a public speaking event who, by the way, we all just heard of him recently. But he has been in politics since 2006. - I didn't know that. - He's been a, he was a congressman for years and now eight years as governor. Like he's run for statewide office twice. He's run for Congress four additional times. It's like, you haven't figured this out yet? What the fuck, dude? - Yeah, it was, it was puzzling. And the media immediately shifted this morning. And when I say media, I mean, prints online, like online, everything else. Now they're like, oh, October surprise, Jack Smith bombshell today for, he refiled the Trump election thing in for January six. So what I was like, no one cares about that story. No one cares about that story. Nobody was really talking about it, but they just don't want to say that J.D. Vance did a great job last night. - Yeah, and then there's like the main complaint or maybe the only complaint that I've heard that's being made about it is a bunch of women on Twitter saying, like, oh, he was mansplaining and talking over the women. It's like, no, it's a debate. They were trying to shut him down and he fucking went over their head. Well, one, they broke their own rules, right? - Yeah. - And then two, they kept trying to cut him off when he was making points like, no, fuck you. Like if that, if the biggest complaint is style and not content, then you know he won the debate. It's like, yeah, he was pretty good, but I didn't like his eyeshadow. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, it's like, cool, man. It's like a fat dude mouth breather on the couch with his fucking big fucking man tits out. Looking at a girl, hot girl on TV is like, oh, she even knows too big. You know what I mean? That's essentially what it is. - I don't, by the way, for the record, I don't think he's wearing mascara. That'd be too big of a risk, in my opinion. I think he's just got the Derek Carson drug. - He's just got pretty eyes. - Well, Derek Core has it too. And he talks about it all the time. He talks about it on a podcast and goes, by here that I wear mascara one more fucking time, I'm gonna lose my mind. - He's got thick dark eyelashes and bright blue eyes. It's just a good, it's just got great eyes. - He's got a, he's a good looking dude, man. So, yeah, there was a bunch of girls on Twitter last night saying how hot he was too. And I was like, were you coming around to JD Vance's like a fucking daddy? - Well, I don't know about all that, but he is definitely the, he's definitely made himself the future of the Republican Party. Like that performance last night to me was very much like the 2004 DNC speech that Obama gave. It established his bona fides. It addressed a lot of the concerns people might have about him like that. So the general thinking on JD Vance before last night is that he's a radical fucking hates women, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All the stuff they have said about him recently. And he came off, prepared, measured, polite for the most part. I mean, there were some exchanges, but even whenever he took the opportunity, and this is just a good skill to have, it's called mirroring, right? He took every opportunity he could to agree with his opponent, right? To, and what you're doing there is you're establishing a positive line of communication so you can have a good conversation. It's a skill that you learn in litigating. Like you don't, if you come out of the game like, hey, fuck you, right? Person's immediately on the defensive. But if you establish some rapport early on in the situation, and this is true for interrogating somebody all the way to litigating in the courtroom, or just having a conversation, a debate with somebody about something. Okay, we agree on one through five. Six is where we disagree. And it's really important for a couple of reasons. One, to show you're not a dick. Two, to show that you actually know what you're talking about. And three, to hammer down on the exact difference between you and me, right? To give the voters clarity on who I am and who he is, right? And I thought he did a fucking great job of that. - Yeah, and some of the things I noticed when I watched it back last night when I got home was his looks into camera like the office. - Oh, he was fourth walling it up. - It was really, it was really funny and it was clever. And you know the camera's gonna be on you at all times where walls was frozen in this panicked look all the time. And then eventually they would cut to a wide instead of the two shot there to kind of save him. But he did all the right things last night. And if that's the future of the party, cool. You know, I've talked about this a few weeks back where let's say, you know, Trump does get in and then 2028 who you got. I think we all had DeSantis there. But even I said, he's got to figure out how to act and what to do with his hands and all that other shit on television and his lips and everything else. The policies are great down in Florida. - I think Florida has, don't they have term limits for governor, Bob? I think they do. - They do, yeah. - Every stink does, I believe. - No, no, the Florida state does not. - I believe Rick Scott's ran like a couple times, right? - Maybe, I don't know. - Well, he's run, but I don't think he's won, right? - But he moved over to Senate too, right? After a while, was that because of term limits or was it just like, what happened? - He also switched parties, I think. - I don't know about that. - Florida does have term limits and it's two. - So he's run out. - So he's done after this. So if I'm, and I'm spitballing here, I haven't talked to anybody about this, but I think that I think you look at Ron DeSantis for Secretary of Defense. - Right. - He's a fucking foreign naval officer. You don't have to be a polished public speaker to be Secretary of Defense, but you've got to be as a hard ass in the room. - In this 2024? - Yeah. - Okay, gotcha. - You've got to be a hard ass in the room. That's, that's your job as SecDef. You've got a PAO, you've got a spokesman that'll handle all that other bullshit. You know what I mean? Your job is to get in people's asses behind the scenes and use the force of that office to do shit. And I think DeSantis is pretty good at that. He's been an excellent governor, as an executive. There's some things he's chosen to do, policy wise, like making certain things illegal, which I don't think the government has the right to do. And the cases that we've discussed this before, I'm not going to get into it now, but as an executive, as a CEO of a state, he's done exceptionally well. And most of that work happens behind the scenes. And he's actually done a really good job of leveraging the media to get that stuff done as well. All this stuff speaks to a guy that would be a really great cabinet level dude. That, to me, he would be at the top of my list for DOD, for SecDef. - So if he wins, and is he in this upcoming election here in November? - No. - He's not, okay. - No, he ends in 26, I think, is a bit of a term. - His first term started in 18. All right, I mean, he won the election in 18, so his first term ended in 22. He won, yeah, 26 is the, yeah. - Okay. Yeah, he wouldn't be bad, and he could really stack the cabinet there. Pull up this thing by Cuomo, by the way. I caught this earlier, and I was shocked by it. - Paul has been lighting people up. - No, shit. Play this clip from News Nation here of Cuomo, about the debate. - When they were talking, at one point, the fans wanted to correct something. - Turn it up. - About how Haitians got into this country. And he was right, and the moderators wouldn't let him correct it. It's very interesting. - Maura. - Thank you, Senator. We have so much to get to. - Maura, I think it's important because-- - We're going to turn out of the economy. Thank you. - Maura, the rules were that you got to win a fact check, and since you're fact checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on. - Thank you, Senator. - That is the sanitation of illegal immigration, Maura, by our own leadership. - Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process. - Maura, we have so much to get to, Senator. - We have so much-- - We have so much-- - Since 1990. - Thank you, gentlemen. We want to have-- - The CDU has not been on the books. - It's since 1990. It's something that's called a Heritage Award. - Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut. - No, we could hear. Well, there you have it. And look, Vance was right, okay? There's nuance to it. But the bigger problem is why he was moved on. We've got so much to get to. It says who? You know what I mean? Like, what is the schedule here? So you have a list of topics that's not what it's about. It's about how the American people can access these two men and the two theories and the narratives. And you've got to let them have their speak because now you created a story where you're the problem, which-- - And that's true. And that was a lot of the conversation last night was with the moderators, you know, not necessarily these two. And this one in particular, saying that this smartphone app has been on the books since 1990 when we didn't have smartphones in 1990. - Well, maybe you didn't, bitch. - Yeah, did you? - Yeah, did you? - Yeah, what do you pour or something? - Did you have a Zack Morris phone back then? - I did, actually. - Did you? - Yeah. - You that brick? I didn't have that brick. - No, I didn't afford that brick. - I actually never had a brick, but I had a back phone. Well, my family did, we use it all the time. - Really? - So my dad was, he had an auto body shop and they were on a city, they call it next, next on the list is what it was colloquially called. I don't know what it's actually called, but basically a number of tow services. Anytime there's a wreck and the cops show up first, then they call one, whomever's next on the list for tow services, right? So he had to be in constant contact with people. - Oh, God, you got some-- - It started out with pagers and shit, but then the Jews got involved and he had switched to back phones. - Gotcha. - He didn't wanna blow up, you know. - Yeah, no, I understand. I understand. But yeah, the rest of it even on the watchback was really impressive. If that's the dude, you know, for the future, he certainly sees the moment there 'cause you only get one of 'em. You only get one moment on national television and he made the most out of it. And I agree, same with Obama back in, was it '04 he did that or whatever it was? And yeah, man, he did great. So it was good to watch. Does that shift the election for anybody in your opinion? - I think it does a lot of stuff, right? I mean, you know, the repubes who have a problem with Trump's style, yeah, I think it gives them a little bit more, you know, happy feeling to go in and vote. I don't, I think less people would sit out. You know, it's a, what Vance represented last night. And to some degree, walls as well, walls didn't act like a wild asshole last night either. Like, certainly he was nervous. The fact, we talked about it at nausea last night. The facts aren't on his side, blah, blah, blah. He was in a bad situation in general. I don't think he's that talented of a politician, frankly, but he didn't act like a wild asshole or nothing. So, you know, I thought last night, I think viewers really enjoyed it. I think they really enjoyed it. And, you know, positivity is much more powerful in politics than negativity. People want to be part of the winning team. They, when they see that somebody's leading in the polls, usually that person wins by more than that, if there's a lot of positive talk around that. And I think that that's, you know, a lot of people, especially women, didn't like Vance. - Yep. - Coming into last night. They didn't like his, some of the, 'cause you hear the comments he's made in a vacuum about women with cats and all this horseshit, right? And then you hear him talk about it for minutes at a time and explain what he actually thinks. And it's like, oh, he actually does care about this. And he cares about people. You know what I mean? He's like, we've sound-bited this guy into this archetype of some kind of fucking asshole. - Well, the media has it. - Yeah, but that's not, it's not real. - No, I know it's not real. - He's, he comes from of like, I don't think dads in the situation has a mom and a grandma comes and it's a rough situation he's in, right? Works his way out of it. So he's got quite a bit of, I think, empathy for people that are going through that stuff. He's not, like, one of the things these dumb ass moderators said last night, they kept bringing up the shit about these two examples out of 350 million people in this country where the abortion stuff has had a negative effect on an individual, right? Which still, and I'll say it again, the Constitution is more important than you. It's, sorry, sorry about your bad luck there, bud, but the way he was able to, I guess, sidestep that and not in a way that was dismissive and not in a way that was obfuscating and addressed the actual issue. Like, yeah, I understand there's some fucking bad shit that goes on here, but our policy needs to not be focused down on the individual, most extreme circumstance, but in investing in people being able to have children. We want to continue to exist, right? Does everybody want to keep existing? Are we all on the same page there? We want our culture to exist? - I believe so. - Yeah, so I thought he articulated the message in a very positive way. That's the most positive, and especially in the weeds, conversation about abortion from the right, that's the most positive version of it I've ever heard. And especially in prime time like that. And I think that gives a lot of the women who sat out or voted for Democrats in 2022 and 2020. I think now they've got permission to come back and vote for Republicans again. - Yeah, and I think the other thing that he had going for him last night was you weren't up against-- - Mascara. - Well, not the mascara. I don't know, I don't know about the mascara. But you're on against baseball, which women don't care about. There's no nothing in prime time anymore television-wise. So that was kind of the only gig in town last night. - Have we seen the ratings for this, Bob? - Not yet. They are not out yet. I'm usually pretty dialed into that. Let me check a wall. - I haven't seen anything. - Let me check a wall. - We've got some ratings here. It's down compared to 2020. Early Nielsen ratings for Tuesday's face of 38.62 million viewers tuned in to the Big Four broadcast networks. - I've got the deadline numbers here. They just dropped on the Hollywood one. So 43 million viewers falling short of 2020. And that's to be expected. Obviously, 'cause everybody was home during COVID, so you didn't have anywhere to go. - Sure. Another 4.3 million on CBS News YouTube. That's where we were watching it last night. - Yeah. - Yeah. So you're talking about plus that, so let's call it 50 million. For anybody that was a lot of people also watched on streaming or on streams like ours. And then just the memeification. Everybody's seeing it. Everybody's seeing JD Vance looking at camera like this. You know what I mean? It's gonna be a meme for two weeks. I don't know if he did that on purpose or if that's how he always does. I haven't seen him in live interviews that, or I'm sorry, in that kind of like a town hall style format that much where it's him and another person going back and forth. I've seen him on brief interviews and shit like that, but you know, when you're in a studio, it's different. When you're in a studio and I'm talking to you, there's cameras there, you're not really looking at even paying a much attention to the cameras at that point. But if it's two dudes on stage and moderators and you got a four or five cameras set up, you know exactly which one's yours. - Yeah. - Right. - And you can look right down the barrel and do whatever you want. I think he did. - He probably did that on purpose. - I would imagine. - And you're right, in this memeification culture, plus the clips that go around, because a lot of people are watching the clips, but I'll dig into these numbers a little further here. So 30 million people out of that 43 that I mentioned were 55 years and above. Now those are real voters. Like they'll really go out and fucking vote there. 10 million were 35 to 54. 3 million were 18 to 34. And that's not including what was online and all that other stuff. That's gonna take some years to figure out because God knows how many people were watching it. With us last night, across the board, I think we had 50,000 total or 60,000 by the end of the day, with Twitter and everything else. Mind you, all the other podcasts that we're covering, it's in news networks. Well, not news knock where it's a news nation and things like that is all this shit was going around. So yeah, that's a decent size number there. That's forgive me. Harris Pence one was during COVID and nobody was doing shit there. So we were all watching all that goddamn shit. But yeah, and then today, everybody's trying to beat everybody that October surprised. I told you about the Jack Smith thing. Nobody really fucking cares about that. And then I'll go to what the Republicans dropped here for the first gentleman, for Doug Emma off today. Do you see that? Slapped around a, it was a fucking waitress or something. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's gonna be good or bad for him to be honest. I think it actually helps him. I thought it was a fucking pussy. It makes him look like less of one. That's not true, though, because weakness in men almost always manifests itself in violence towards women. Almost always. I know, I'm totally kidding right now. But it was funny. I was like, I was not expecting to read that when I woke up this morning. I was like, huh? Who was the chick? Do we know? Who did he slap around? His ex-girlfriend. Okay. He smacked her so hard she spun around and three people signed sworn statements to that effect. Really? Yeah. So you gotta really bring one from the basement for a slap like that. It depends on the size of the girl. Yeah, that's true. I mean, you know, and she's also canted to one. She's bladed her body already. You know, you can... Or if she's moving that direction already and she's flinching away. Yeah. She's just gonna roll with a punch. (laughing) Do we have a picture of this bruiser? Bring her up. I'd like to see her. Now, he's already has the cheating allocations with the nanny he knocked off. And then I think they got the abortion and all that stuff. He's redefining masculinity according to Jen Psaki. Yeah. And look, I'm for it. (laughing) I'm for it. Maybe Jen's into it. Maybe Jen's Psaki's into it. Oh, she's a redhead. She definitely wants to get slapped in the face. Yeah. Yeah. You can see behind the scenes. Like there's something there. Yeah. There's something there with Psaki. Psaki bombs. We don't have a picture of this bruv. I'm looking. They're showing a picture of his nanny or something. The one that he banged? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, is she hot? Let's see the nanny. I haven't seen the nanny here. I mean, it's important to see what kind of strange it is bruv. Nanny was... Well, actually, they fucking blocked it. They blurred her out. Nanny was kind of hard on his face. It's hard on his face. It's hard on his face. It's hard on his face. Yeah. Yeah, look at that. You know, he was bored. And he came home. It was just like, all right, fuck it. Well, that's her now. Yeah. 15, 20 years ago. Ah, maybe you're right. You know. Maybe you're right, dude. How long ago was it? 15 years ago? I don't have no idea. I just made that up. So it says a forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man in a booze-fueled assault after a star-studded gala. I like that. What was he at? Is it the Cannes Film Festival? What? No. Yeah. Was it really? In 2012. God damn. All right. Shit. Wait, 2012? Yeah. In Paris? No, it's in... In, yeah. I was there. I was there then. I had a movie there. Might've been 2011. Let me look. Is it a 2011 or 2012? Do we know what it was? Was it an after-party? Was it like a movie premiere? It was a Ritzy star-studded gala is what it's saying. There's a ton of those. Yeah. At a Ritzy gala in 2012, supposedly struck his girlfriend who was a New York attorney. I'm not seeing a name on her, but I'll check the date. Well, she's blurred out here. So maybe this is... Yeah, but maybe that's just how she looks in real life. Yeah, she's got a blurry face. Yeah. That's happening. It's going around right now. Going around the country. Monkey podcast. I just want to know what movie he slapped her at. 'Cause I think that was right around. What was the black and white movie, the artist that won that year? He was just so angry that it was a silent film. He wanted to hear a scream afterwards that he was like, I've got to beat the shit out of this lady. I wish we could tie a movie to this. It'd be so fucking funny. But if you're saying it was just a gala or a gala, as I like to call it, then it's probably just some fucking swanky party. Have a bunch of champagne and the French are into it, right? Slappin' people? Yeah, you get to slap women over there. Yeah, I was supposed to get her attention, you know? Yeah. Like, hey, you're being hysterical right now. You know? Yeah, it would appear. Like a Humphrey Bogart style slap. Nothing aggressive. Just like, hey, honey, wake up. Yeah, wake up, sweetie. You got to control. Yeah, I don't see a name. Okay. Yeah, for me, you know, does this affect anything? No. None of these. You're going to have to have something big to affect an election. Now there's a theory brewing in the chat that it was you that got slapped by Doug him off. Oh, man. Could you imagine? Could you imagine if it was just me and Dougie, dude, Dougie Fresh and that happened? That went down, not in one million goddamn years. But I'd love to know what they were there for there. So an attorney, strange. Like, he's not in the film industry, is he? What the fuck was he doing there? Just hanging out? Well, is he an entertainment lawyer? I don't know what kind of fucking-- Yeah, well, he was an entertainment lawyer, right? I mean, he's an attorney for sure, and this chick was a New York attorney. Let me just double check his biography. Man, if you're going to ding your client for that, I remember my lawyers like, hey, do you want me to go out there and go, no, you sure don't? I'm not paying for any of that bullshit, dude. So no, you stay fucking right here. There's no need for you to be there, friend. Plus, attorneys apparently like to slap people around a little bit. Yeah, he's an entertainment lawyer. No, shit. Does it say what law firm? Let's see. So he was a litigator focused on media entertainment and intellectual property. He worked with-- looks like a lot of corporations, like Walmart and Taco Bell. Gotcha. Yeah, so I'm sure I can find the-- No, that's a different side of the business. So yeah, you're fine on that one, but it's good for Doug. Had a couple of bottles of shampers over there. DLA Piper was the last firm he was at before. I like that last name, Piper. It's bagel, bagel, and niggle. Bagel, bagel, and bagel. Or bagel, bagel, and locks being better, actually. All my lawyers are Jewish. Yeah, best in the biz, too. Who else would you even hire to be an attorney? Best in the biz, kids. Happy Rosh Hashanah. Criminal attorney, maybe go Italian. Oh, yeah. But if it's a fucking entertainment lawyer and they're not Jewish, what the fuck are you even doing? Yeah, and let's examine that. So did he just hired his dream team over there? Very similar to the OJ Simpson stitch. I didn't get a chance to see the faces of these guys, but he's got, apparently, what is being billed as the best fucking dream team that one could assemble in today's society. And yeah, the stories keep getting worse about him. The nine-year-old one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Erica Wolf is one of his attorney who's speaking to TMZ. Yeah, who's the dude there? I don't know if that's his attorney. Well, that could be an attorney suing him because 120 accusers came forward in a lawsuit, very similar to the Sean Watson lawsuit. Remember when they all lawyered up with the same fucking person there and went after Diddy? So that just dropped today. There's a nine-year-old that dropped allegedly in that. They're trying to figure that out now. However, I did read this story and the guy, the lawyer who's repping all these people, said there's been so many calls and videos and complaints that I've really got to fact check all these people before we can represent them. But right now, that number sits at about 120. Mark and Jafilio. Yeah, there it is. An Italian in New York, nailed it, nailed it. Diddy, we got some sponsors to put this shit wagging on the air first and foremost, firstform.com/drinkingbros. I took them. I took the microfactors before I came on the show. I don't wanna hear about it. Ross, did you take your vitamins? I did. Diddy did take his vitamins today. Love these goddamn things. Let's face it, we all don't eat or work out the way we need to every single day, do we? It is important though, to get the proper vitamins inside of us. This one comes with the big six in it. These are 30 individual packages, individual packages, with six of the essentials in 'em. Antioxidants, coke, kittens, fruits and veggies, EFA's, probiotics and multivitamins. Boom, little plastic pouch, open it up, poppin' your mouth, you're good to go. No need to buy a shit ton of vitamins and scrape 'em off the counters and things like that. Don't do it, they take the guesswork out of it for ya. Also love their delivered detox on a Monday there. Take four of those little guys to kinda get through the week. And then, Anthony, they're a protein company though, first and foremost though. Best protein in the biz. They're my favorite, yeah, and the good thing about first form is that they put the protein out in a wide array of what we call deliverables, right? So it isn't just one product. It's two different types of protein powder, one designed for pre-workout, which is Formula One, one designed for a meal replacement called Level One, then of course there's a Level One protein bars in a variety of different flavors that are for snacking, meal replacement, so on, and then there's meat sticks as well, right? So they have high quality protein at a bunch of different avenues, which is, it's why they're my favorite company. Yeah. Any kind of workhouse elements, I get all of them there. Best in the biz. Love their energy drinks over there as well. Yeah, they just do everything great. They got great mercy at all of the two. Love this company. You go to firstform.com/drinkinbros.

Support us and support the show. That guy, yeah. He's going out to the best there. The interesting part of this as a quick update here is there's a lot of video out there and two of these videos are currently being shot in Hollywood right now. And one of them, they've released a still from and they said, "Look, the reason why this is such a big deal is there's one client, I believe it's in Florida who is shopping this video right now and says, "Hey, if you don't want this to get out, this is going to blow up everything." And the news outlet said, "Well, why would this blow up everything?" Because there is an A-list star that is bigger than Diddy that is in this video having sex at one of these fucking freak off things. And they released a still. They've contacted this person's reps. If you can find that still, I have a guess at who this is, if we can pull it up. 'Cause I had, yeah, is that it, right there? So when I saw this still and that this was being shopped, look, there was a ton of fucking celebrities at these goddamn things. But my guess, and again, I'm going to say guess 'cause I don't want to get sued on this show. Once you pull this up, Bob, and we'll get you your thoughts on this. And type in A-list star, Diddy's sex tape. There we go. I got it. So porno allegedly showing Diddy with a more famous, celeb is being shopped around here. There is one still that is being passed around. And I think the guy, if you can't find it, it's fine. I saw it a couple of days ago. 'Cause I'm sure his people are all fucking over this. It looked like DiCaprio to me. It looked like Leonardo DiCaprio. So if that indeed is true, this lawyer and whoever's wrapping this, does show them having sex allegedly. And the pornographic video shows Diddy and this celebrity in the same room, in the same bed, in the same fucking thing, and they're saying, you have the opportunity to buy said video before it gets out in the public. But to me, we don't know how much shit he taped in his mansions and all that other shit. Like, there's gonna be a bigger fucking list of this. - Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be a challenge not to get caught up in all of the party stuff. 'Cause I think that is, I think the Diddy parties are kind of the forest for the trees, you know what I mean? I think the forest is the young people that Diddy raped, frankly. These are the reports we're hearing. - Correct. - That is the crux of all this for me is, and look, I don't know if, I don't know if Bieber's part of that. I don't know if some of these other younger guys, Usher and as well, you know, Usher lived with Diddy when he was 13 for a fucking year. - And in New York. - And Bieber lived with him like what, 17 or 18? - Usher straight have said he saw things that someone that age should not have seen. - Yeah, at 13 years old, and now, you know, I don't know who Usher's parents were, but what the fuck, you know? I mean, letting your kid live with some guy in the entertainment industry for a year, that's fucking weird as shit. But yeah, I think there's a lot of smoke around that specifically. I think what Diddy did to kids, forget about the parties. I think the kids' stuff and the blackmail stuff are what we're gonna find out about. And probably less so on the blackmail side, because it's gonna involve people that are too powerful to be prosecuted or whatever. Or embarrassed or whatever, right? - I still don't think he makes it out to this fucking trial. I don't think he makes it out of this. - Probably not. - There's way too many fucking famous people there. - Nobody has yet. - We haven't heard shit from "What's Her Nuts?" Gleyne Maxwell, the woman who got accused-- - No. - Are convicted rather of trafficking children to know what in particular. - No. - We haven't heard shit from her. - And wasn't she writing a book from jail that was supposed to be released? - Who knows, man? - Because that would be really easy to pump out. If you were able to get a ghostwriter into the jail and she just spilled all the fucking secrets and stories and all that fun stuff, she'd get a lot of money for it. So why hasn't she? It's very, very bizarre. The other part that's bizarre is there, she was in the same place that he was. And then now he's with Bankman Freed. I guess there's this little cellmate up there. - Yeah, you know, he's lighting his ass up. (laughing) - You think he's fucking bugging up. - Yeah dude. (laughing) Is it just to do it at that point? - Yeah, it's just 'cause you're in the habit. You know what I mean? - Oh, pull up. - Like the picture of Sam Bankman Freed. - Like I don't even like football anymore. I'm just watching it because I used to watching it. - Yeah, he didn't even have it, dude. Ugh. What is that picture? - That's him in jail. - Shut the fuck up. - Yeah, you can smell that picture. To be honest, I don't think Sam Bankman Freed smelled good on the outside. You can imagine how he smells in there. - Oh yeah. - He's probably letting it cake up too just so he doesn't get butt raped. - Isn't that a tactic, right? - Yeah. - You think I'll lift weights? - No, I think he's doing exactly what he's doing to stay out of getting raped. Look at the dude next to him in this fucking picture, dude. Holy shit. Fuck. - I don't know, Sam looks like he's getting into some stuff. - You think so? - Yeah. - I mean, there's a hint of a smile there. Whereas the guy next to him looks like he's murdered 30, 40 people. - Bad boys for life. - Yeah, wow, that's weird. So yeah, dude, maybe they are fucking in there. Maybe it took a shower for that. What I was unfamiliar with is I didn't know you only got two showers a week there. That's weird, right? - Yeah. - Two showers a week in jail? Do they need to just not care? - I don't know. - It must stink in a fucking hardcore jail. - I don't know if that's true or not. - What, two showers? - Yeah. - Yeah, I read that he was only getting two showers. - I mean, you got a sink in your fucking cell, usually. I would be taking a horse bath. - I guess so, man, it would fucking stink in there though. But yeah, the latest on this, and this is according to his legal team, is this trial, if he makes it out of there alive, that's a go to trial. It's probably a year away, maybe a year and a half. So this is gonna be a minute, and there's gonna be a lot of nervous people over the next year, year and a half. I wanna turn to this dock worker strike here. This is the first time I'm hearing this. So the guy is 78 years old, who's the head of this union? - Yeah. - I'm reading these articles here, and they're saying he's profane. What'd you think a fucking dock worker is gonna be like, oh, he's a profane, 78 year old leading the dock worker. It's a fucking dock worker. What do you think he's gonna be super polite to you? No, dude, no. Let's see a picture of this guy. Oh, is that a video? Oh, come on, pop him up here. Play this clip, God. With volume? - Yeah, just make it. Oh, make it billy. This whole like five minutes ago, you didn't notice it 'cause it doesn't have anything to do with you guys, but everything on the Bluetooth, just disconnected from this fucking... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just do it. - There it is. - Look at you guys. - Yeah, look at you guys figuring it out over there. Yeah, but I'm curious that this 78 year old dude is leading this, like he doesn't care. He can retire anyway. He's making 900K a year. We saw his mansion before we popped on the show. Holy shit. They're spending it fast as they make it. I want to piece it out for my men 'cause when they made their most money was during COVID, when my men had to go to work on those peers every single day, when everybody stayed home and went to work, not my men. They died out there with the virus, we all got sick with the virus, we kept them going. From Canada to Maine to Texas, Great Lakes, Puerto Rico, now the Bahamas, everybody went to work during COVID. Nobody stayed home. Well, I want to be compensated for that. I'm not asking for the world. They know what I want, they know what I want, and if they don't, no. Then I have to go into the street and we have to fight for what we rightfully deserve. These people today don't-- - This guy's killed people, man. This is the person I've heard him speak. He's definitely killed 30 or 40 people. A man to Texas, every single port will lock down. You know what's gonna happen? I'll tell you. First week, be all over the news every nine, boom, boom. Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars 'cause the cars ain't coming in off the ships. They get laid off. Third week, malls start closing down. They can't get the goods from China. They can't sell clothes, they can't do this. Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in. The steel's not coming in. The lumber's not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's hating the longshoreman now because now they realize how important our jobs are. Now I have the president screaming at me. - Your job's so important that you have to shut down the country-- - They're following me, I have to go back to work for 90 days. That's a cool new up area. - Good luck, buddy. - You think when I go back for 90 days, those men are gonna go to work on that pier? It's gonna cost the money, the company's money to pay the salaries. Well, yeah, it went from 30 moves a now and maybe to eight. They're gonna be like this. Who's gonna win here in the long run? You're better off sitting down and let's get a contract and let's move on with this world. And in today's world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does. - So if we were a real country, we would kill this guy. Like a guy who's threatening to cripple our economy so that he can get a 70% raise and no automation which is to say no progress for this country. He's holding the country ransom for what he and a couple of other dudes want, right? Which is completely unacceptable. I would clip this dude if I was president. I would have him killed. I'm not even kidding. - Well, there's this house right there. - Yeah, and maybe dropping J-Damn on that. Completely unnecessary. What he's effectively saying is that we're secretaries. We want a 70% raise and we want all these computers out of the office and you're gonna see who does the typing. - Yeah. - Oh, it's okay. So we're going back to the 50s then. Sorry, bud, your job is now obsolete. I hate it for you, you know? Learn to code or whatever the fuck they say. What China's done is, and by the way, what I think Trump would probably do in this situation, it would never get to this with Trump probably. But even if he were in this situation, the immediate answer is to invoke the Defense Production Act and say this is a matter of national security. Our economy is a matter of national security. We have to fucking spend money on things. We can't, you can't be allowed to shut down the economy because you want a 70% raise. By the way, they offered them a 50% raise already and they turned it down, a 50% raise. - One of the pieces of quote unquote automation that they're fighting against is Gates. - Gates? - They want to have some guys standing there opening the gate manually. - Yes. - Literally. - Yes. - Yeah, this is mob bullshit. It's like no show jobs, no work jobs, all this bullshit, packed it. It's why everything that the government does cost more money because they allow unions to come in and charge $27 for a fucking nail. - So you have to charge, and so then like, yeah, well, I mean, what's the biggest overhead for any company, right? It's a fucking payroll. So you're adding like, how many fucking jobs to a doc because you're like, I gotta get my fucking dipshit cousin who can't read it. Or my dipshit nephew who can't read a job. So he's just gonna pull the gate open and closed all day and he's gonna get, you know, $40 an hour of the fuck they get, I don't know. - Everything you're describing is unions in Hollywood do the exact same thing with those fucking teamsters in every single, cool, what do you do? Well, you're right, I'm standing by this gate. - I can tell you what we do. What we need is a man, we need leadership, right? We need a man like Bill Knudson, Knudson, however you say his name, back in the day. He was the guy that brought Henry Ford into the future. He was the guy who set up, so when it came time, we were two or three years before we entered World War II. This dude, FDR called this guy 'cause he had been, the factory assembly lines that we see today, he created all that shit, right? From machining parts down to the 100th of an inch, that was his first thing, consistency. He was like, forget about how fast you can make something. If you can make every part exactly the same, now you can make them at a predictable rate and then you can just build another factory and just do that over and over again, right? 'Cause the thing that fucks you up most is inefficiency. They call, FDR called him on the phone, he's like, okay, we need you in Washington, come here. And they made him the czar of production. He turned all the car manufacturers into Detroit and to tank and airplane manufacturers within the course of about six months. I mean, incredible work this guy did. That's the kind of person we need for this. Like, go to these union guys and be like, "Hey, you're not in charge anymore." And he's like, "Oh, I am in charge." And he's put a bullet in his fucking brain, right? The same way they did with Hoffa, burying this dude in a fucking, whatever football stadium is being built right now, bury him in the stadium like that. One man can't stand in the way of progress. And if he does, you got to fucking put a bullet in his brain, frankly. - Vice President Kamala Harris has released a statement saying she's embracing the strike workers, striking dock workers and bashed Trump on his labor policy. She said in a statement that foreign-owned shipping companies have made record profits and the union workers deserve a fair share of that money as tens of thousands of members in the International Longshoreman's Association hit the picket line. She's also using the moments to contrast to Trump as saying as president, he blocked overtime benefits for millions of workers. He appointed union busters. And just recently, he said striking workers should be fired. - Goddamn right. I would fire them all. 100%. Every single one of them I would fire. They're making $147,000 on average per year. With another 35 to 40,000 in medical benefits. And I'm not even sure how much in paid time off and in pension benefits, right? Fuck you. - Now, some people today are saying that there was a relationship with Trump and that his buddies with Trump and is doing this potentially to help Trump win the election. Is that a, you guys got a picture of him together there? - Yeah, there you go. I didn't pull this up to float that conspiracy theory. - No, no. It's not a conspiracy. - I've heard it for the last, I don't know, four or five days. - I mean, he is a Trump guy. I don't think that really matters because I think he's out for himself. - Unions in general, I believe, are starting to lean a little bit more right. - Yeah. - Well, the leadership has always been left and the body has usually been more to the right except for teachers unions. They're always to the left on everything. - Yeah. - And nurses unions also to the left on everything. The ones that are more female or more to the left, obviously. - But what I'm going to say is I don't think either side's going to come out against this because I think they're very, I mean, the whole election comes down to the Rust Belt, which is kind of union country. I kind of think you're going to get soft takes from both camps on this. - All I ask is if you're going to go on strike as a union, you need that giant blow up rat. - Oh yeah, I like those things. I haven't seen that in a long time, dude. I haven't seen the giant blow up rat in a while. But yeah, what are we in? I guess day two now. So we'll see. I think it's costing 1.3 billion a day. There's the rat. - Why is a rat of herpes? - Always has for some reason. Always has. Conjunctivitis as well with the red eyes. - Yeah. Well, look at the herpes down there in the mid section. - So. - Diculous herpes. - I've never heard that guy speak before, but I have heard, now we have, obviously, but I've heard a Hoffa speak back in the day. It's very similar. - Couldn't you have guessed how he sounded. - Yeah, yes, I could, but when I saw his picture, I was like, eh, maybe he's like a grandpa or a waltz. And then as soon as he started talking, I was like, oh yeah, he's fucking killed 30 or 40 people, dude. - Easily. - Yeah, I think the National Labor Relations Act needs to be canned entirely. - What is that? - It's the, it's a federal law that governs the NL. It establishes the NLRB National Labor Relations Board. It's a place where people can file grievances if their union's being mistreated or if they're being denied the right to collectively bargain and blah, blah, all this stuff, right? It's like, when in human history has government getting involved and the exchange of good services or labor between one entity and another. When's that ever worked? - Ever. - Never. - It's not worked ever. As a matter of fact, the reason I brought up Bill Newton or William Newton is because that's the first thing he did. He was like, all this labor, fucking bullshit. If I hear about one strike, everybody's gone. Everybody's gone. And sometimes that's what you need to do in a government. Look, the Roman Republic had something called a dictator. And on average, or I'm sorry, the dictator, I've said this in shows over the last couple of ones. On average, it was about a six month term, sometimes less, I think, Cincinnati's was the one that held it for like 11 days or some shit like that. He was given complete control of the entire country and held it for a very short amount of time and gave it back Cincinnati named after him. Not Dave Cincinnati, by the way. - Oh, no. - It's actual. He was, it looks like he was dictator twice, actually. - Yeah, he was, yeah, they made him again because they knew he wasn't gonna be a dick about it. But typically it was a six month term and they would make you dictator over one specific thing. We would call it a czar now, actually, right? Where you had complete dictatorial power over that thing. The most common example that I give is the aqueducts. I can't remember who it was, but I think it might have been since then that's actually who was charged with repairing the aqueducts or something like that. He did it like 11 days. And that's what you need now. You gotta cut through this bullshit, right? We don't have time for this. The economy's struggling. We're fucking a contour away as military people like to say from a full-blown recession, right? - Yeah. - Right? And we just don't have time for this bullshit. Now's not the time to feel, now's the time to do. Get this shit out of the way. Bust that union up and tired. Like if you want this union, you're not guaranteed a job. - You're trying? - You're guaranteed, what exactly? The pursuit, you're guaranteed the pursuit in America. - Yeah. - Constitutionally, the pursuit of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pursuit of happiness, the pursuit, right? The opportunity, not a guaranteed job because you decide so, and if everybody doesn't agree to your fucking terms, we'll fuck the United States. You think you're some kind of patriot for that? Fuck you, dude, this guy's gotta get his head cut off. - Wasn't it out? - And go ahead and fucking river somewhere. - Wasn't it the West Coast longshore in the strike that fucked TFF? - Yeah, because 80% of fucking... - I think it was. - I'm sure it was because 80% of our carol comes in through the West Coast. - And this is not the West Coast strike? - No, it's not, it's... - Main to Texas. - To Texas. - Yeah. - To the East and then down to Texas, yeah, it's like... - But yeah, who knows when this is gonna end? I have no idea, but everybody's keeping a close eye on it for sure. - They keep a close eye on both of these nuts. - I'm sure they will. - Yeah, I'm sure they will. But in the end, you know, I've said this in the past regarding any business, like you have to learn how to pivot. If your industry is dying, I felt this way when I left Hollywood where I was just like, oh shit. No more DVDs and everything's going to streaming and we're making fucking 80 cents for residuals. I gotta get the fuck out of this. I gotta change course here because this is hard to make money now. You know, it's not hard to make money is Pink Floyd. They fucking just sold their catalog right now breaking news for $400 million. God damn, dude. I mean... - That's 50 million less than the boss, right? Then he go 450. - Yeah, he got a half a bill. But I think he's got way more music. - Yeah, they broke up, you know. I mean, what do they got? Six studio albums, Pink Floyd? - Yeah, so I'm gonna read it here. - They also only have two living members. - They do, yeah. So Dark Side of the Moon. - Yeah, but how much of their catalog do they own too? It's like... - They own all of it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they're good. So Dark Side of the Moon, the wall. Wish you were here, animals, metal. Piper at the Gates of Dawn. - Oh, they've got way more than I thought. One, two... Wait, there's one in 2014, you never heard of that? - Yeah. These are fucking legendary albums for... - That one might have been bad. Oh, the 2014 one. - Yeah, it's hard to make music that old. - There's 50 in studio albums. Piper at the Gates of Dawn, I've heard of... - Dark Side of the Moon in the wall, though, and wish you were here, like, bro. - Those three, yeah. Even animals is really good. - Man, and he's still touring right now. So I'm sure there was some cut of that. Then the interesting part of this deal, it says they're using the NIL, so name, image, and likeness. So they're gonna exploit all of it. I imagine that's from merchandise and t-shirts and everything else. It took my kids into Target the other day. And old rock t-shirts are like a huge line of clothing now, like targets and Wal-Marts and all that other stuff. I bought a two-pock one for 10 bucks, and I bought a Prince of the Purple Rain. Prince of the Revolution, the Purple Rain album shirt. And I was like, fuck yeah, dude. I didn't know Target was doing this shit. Apparently, yeah, they're just marching up everywhere now. - And Roger Waters is kind of a fucking wild card these days, too. He's out there seeing some shit. I'm kind of surprised they gave him that much considering. But I guess, at the end of the day, money's money, right? - It is. - Like if you, who bought it? Was it IMG or fucking Sony or something? - Sony, Sony bought it. - Yeah, I believe it was Sony. - Yeah, but if you're an old head like this, so yeah, Sony, yeah, Sony bought it. They recently purchased Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Queen, Pink Floyd. Yeah, dude, if you're that age, 'cause Roger Waters has got to be shit, man. Probably close to 80, I would imagine. Look up his age. - 81. - 81, yeah. So, yeah, dude, what are you hanging on to for? Grab the $400 million. 'Cause once you die, it's not like you can get it. Somebody else can in your family, but fuck, dude. $400 million. God damn, dude. Good for him. Good for him, son of a bitch, dude. That's wild, yeah. And this NIL rights shit is wild to me. 'Cause they're gonna get all of it then. - He also has a hologram bullshit. Watch out for that. You know who this is really big for? Roger Waters, I don't know if you know this, got married in 2021 to a 43-year-old woman. - Really? - Who I think is the big winner in all of this. - Well, yeah, 'cause when he kicks it, dude, she's gonna get all that cash. - Yeah, then I'm gonna marry her. - I know. - And I'm gonna get all that cash. (laughing) I'm not signing a fucking pre-and-up bitch. Find her and do that. Wow, dude. And then speaking of which here, the Beatles had some success on that some. - Had the Beatles sold yet? Did they sell their catalog? - I thought, didn't fucking Michael Jackson own their catalog? - He did for a long time. Well, he bought it back. - Just McCartney bought it back. - Just McCartney, though, right? - Yeah, he still owns it, I believe. - He still owns it. Do they sell? I think they did sell for like a billion dollars, right? - So Ringo's getting none of that. - Ringo got some of it. - Well, actually enough. - Yeah, Ringo's a laugh. - He only wrote, gonna ask forever. - Yeah, he's gonna outlive everybody, for sure. Just because everybody hates him. But I think he only wrote a couple songs, so he'll get money for whatever two songs that he wrote. - I think this is Garden. - Yup. - A lot to be. - And then McCartney's gonna get the rest. But they had a really good song that came out last year that was lost in like the early '70s, and then they aided part of the chorus just 'cause I guess they were fucked up in the vault. So he just said here that they're probably gonna do some more of this AI shit, and kind of figure that out. I think that's why these catalogs are going for what they're going to, so they can AI some of this shit as well for the future. - So, apparently, so McCartney bought some of it. Man, this is a wacky fucking story, actually. But Jackson was broke and had to sell some of it himself in '95, and he sold part of the catalog. Part shares of the catalog to Sony for 100 million in 1995. And then in 2006, I don't know, it says that Sony officially agreed to buy out Jackson's estate, Jackson, the Jackson estate's full 50% of Sony ATV for 750 million, making Sony the sole owner of Lennon McCartney catalog. McCartney then sued them in 2018. Yeah, I think he won, right? - Let's see, that term will be up in 2018 with the later songs eligible by 2026. That revision back to McCartney is not assured, however, so that lawsuit may be ongoing. Let me try to find some new shit. - Yeah, but that's gotta be the biggest one left out there. That and the Stones, the Rolling Stones, the Rolling Stones haven't sold yet either. - Sony owns it. - Sony owns Stones? - No, Sony owns Beatles. - Oh, Beatles, no shit. - Yeah. - Did they say the dollar amount? - I think it was like 750 million in 2016. - Gotcha. - If not, for half of it. - Oh, for half? - 'Cause they already owned half. - That's nice, that's crazy, man. That's crazy, yeah, the Stones are the only one that are left then, who haven't sold that catalog and they're in their 80s. I don't know how much longer they're gonna live there, they were great, and shit, they actually pumped out a really great album, I'm sure, which is Shocker. I wonder if Creed's gonna come out with another album. - I hope so. - You know what I mean? Like, they're on one right now. There's gotta be a temptation to go into the studio after all this settles down a little bit and crank one out because they can ride that train a little bit. - Sure can. - I mean, there's some momentum there, for sure. - You know that Rob O'Neill and his brother went back and saw another creature? - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Wouldn't you? - Yes, in a second. They're coming to Austin in November, and they were at, they were axing, hey, dude, are you guys around? I'm like, ah, you know, I don't wanna blow the memory. I had a great time there. It's all a great show. I kinda wanna write off in the sunset with that one. Just a happy, positive memory. - I mean, I think every one of their concerts is good. - Creed? - Yeah, yeah, they're great. - They put on a great show. - I'm just saying, that was a beautiful evening out there with Scott Stapp, and no need to try to replicate it for me. - Asteros are done. - They're out, huh? - Mm-hmm. - That's it. - Wow. - Kansas City's up 1-0, I mean, it's early there, but Kansas City beats, Orioles, they, Orioles are out as well. - No shit. - And the Braves are probably gonna be out later as well. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's fine. We're kids that we're a roster full of dead people. - Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah. It's, you know, you just want this to be over. - Yeah. - Cop harder, Rob. - Cop harder. - No cope, everybody's injured. The Cy Young winner, out. The preseason favorite Cy Young winner. - The MVP. - The MVP, out. - The top five third baseman in the Major League, out. Thought you guys were deep. - Yeah. - Was that deep? - No one's that fucking deep. - If you can lose the, like, the current Cy Young and the predicted Cy Young and the MVP and one of the other predicted MVPs, all in the same fucking year and still win, then good for you, bud. But I don't want to watch it, frankly. It's a bad product at this point. No one wants to see that shit. - The Braves? - Yeah. - Do you root for Detroit now? - I'm a Roy Boyd this year. - I like to, yeah, I mean, maybe Detroit. I like the Royals. I like, I'm not, I'm not a Mets hater, but I also would love to see Bryce Harper win a World Series. I would love that, for him, you know what I mean? 'Cause he's one of my favorite players at the whole time, to be honest. - Yeah, same here. - Like in the modern era of baseball, he might be my favorite player, even though he's on the team I hate. - Yeah. - 'Cause my, like, the best player on my team is Ronald Acuna, and I'm not sure he even gives a fuck about playing baseball, frankly. - No, he never wants like it. Honestly, I don't know if he does or not. Bryce Harper fucking cares. He play, every play he plays hard. That's the kind of fucking dude. That's what I, that's what I expect. So, whatever. - I agree. It's time to get to the drinking bro of the week here. - Oh, got one, actually. - Yeah, I got one too. Go with yours, in the meantime, up, pull up the merch site. I was on the phone with our guy here this morning, Brandon, shout out to Brandon Icker if he's listening and/or watching right now. And that anal shirt you guys created last night, Live on Air, has already sold like a hundred. - Yeah, yeah, there's so a hundred two-shirts, make America anal again. - Yeah, I mean, that's a great fucking shirt right there. But it's American flag, butt plug. We actually might make the butt plug as well. - Put it in a bro box? - Yeah. - That'd be great. If you're out there, subscribe to the bro box too. It's right here on my desk. And these come right to your house with some new items in them every month. And then, Bob, if you do me a favor and pull up the barbecue set, we did add the barbecue set to the store. He said, and I was amped about that because once I got it in the mail as a bro box, I was like, oh fuck. I was like, this one, we gotta do it. It's a whole set, so you get everything. You get the apron. - Yeah, plus the apron, yeah. I mean, that's a dope set right there. - Oh, dude, it's dope as shit. And in Texas, hopefully it'll be grilling season soon because, god damn it, it's been too hot to go out there. It's just cool down the weather, man. I just wanna go outside to enjoy my fucking life. So go to drinkingbros.com that not always their merch. All stocked up hoodies for the fall. All the college hoodies are there for hard AF. All the drinking bros merch and all that stuff. But also the drinking bros submission for drinking bro. The week is on there, it gets emailed to us live on air. We'll start with yours first and then I'll go to mine. - Yeah, mine is from, do you remember the McCormicks that came into the studio? - The guy who was a, he was a cop in LA. - Oh yeah. - They were heading out to Charleston. He's going, I think he's going to college at Charleston to get his law degree right now. - Yes, I remember them. - Today is actually his 31st birthday and they are expecting a child as well. - Oh, congratulations. - His wife's name is C-A-L-E-I-G-H, Cali maybe? - Yeah. - I think she rocked. - I think it's Kaylee. - She got trash. - But she gets mad that I say Kaylee, it's Cali, I think it's Cali, his name. - She got trash in your hand and he had to carry her out. - Oh yeah, she likes the party. She likes the party. Now right now though, cause she's repregnatized, but Mason McCormick, happy birthday buddy. I'm glad that you moved on from being a cop to being an attorney. Hopefully you can continue onward and upward. Good luck with that baby as well. Charleston's a nice city. Hopefully nobody's too fucked up out there. I don't think he got fucked up by the hurricane or anything. - It didn't, it didn't love Charleston. That's one of my favorite cities in the country. I'd move there in a heartbeat. - Yeah, and they're cool people too. - Really cool. I enjoyed those guys. All right, and then this one that just came in cause they come in live on air. Oh, I love this. I love that he gave me a pronunciation for it. He says, "Drinking bro submission, Matt McMahon." And he spelled it for me. Says, "For Ross." And it says, "He's nominated in Paul." Episode two, "Stumbled on Pagging Explained" after episode two was released, "Tainer McMahon." Is who he's given it to, "Living." "Tainer is my four year old son." He better not be listening to this show. I love him more than life itself. This summer, we were at a family get together and his cousins were there seven or eight years old. They thought it would be funny to call him names. When no parents were listening, well long story short, Tanner responded with a round of return name calling. They're good for Tanner. Love to see a four year old getting involved. They're mixing it up. And then I fuck up your name, Matt McMahon, okay? But the fact that you did give me a nice pronunciation really helped. I'm not gonna lie on that. 'Cause the McMahon has not spelled how you think it would be. - How's it spelled? - M-C-M-A-H-E-N. - That's not real. That you got Ellis Islanded on to that one. Something happened. - Something happened. - I've never seen a spell like that before. - I haven't heard. - Probably. - Which is why he put the pronunciation in there. - It seems like terrorism to me. And I appreciate that. I appreciate the pronunciation. And you can submit your drinking bro the week over on drinkingbros.com, peruse the store. Grab some stuff, dude. Make some fucking weird decisions. Also, Christmas is coming up soon. And don't forget, November 5th, we are live. For the election in downtown Austin, please join us for that at WTF. All the new flavors of Hard A.F. Seltzer will be there, tons of celebrities. - Is that Kangaroo? Cause this is bringing his Kangaroo to a thing. - Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're still on with that. - I think so. What are the rules on bringing a Kangaroo into a ball? - I don't care. - Me neither. - Me neither. - Not really asking anybody's permission. - Right, at least it is. (laughing) - I just want to see a Kangaroo hopping down 6th Street. - Yeah. - That'll be fucking fun. - I mean, he takes him out in public all the time. - Does he really? - Yeah. - Does he dip him up? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Do Kangaroos piss and shit themselves on it? - I mean, I don't know what their bathroom situation is. - Okay. - Like if they're hiking their leg, or if they're just like staring you in the eyes, sitting back on their tail, taking a dump, that would be very intimidating. - Sure would. - It's going to be my start doing that to people actually. - It's probably going to try to fight somebody. - I hope so. - I mean, it's relatively calm. It does like to fucking kind of wrestle though. - And then it gets all alpha on you. - Yeah, it will. It'll probably pee on you. - Let me ask you this. We're at the election show. Things start maybe turning south. Kangaroo takes a swing at you. Do you take a swing back? - Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I'll at least pop it a couple times. The lateral movement is a problem for Kangaroos. So just keep working to the right. Keep working to the left. No matter which side you choose. - Just cut off the ring. - Yeah, just cut off the ring on them. Yeah, that's it. - Smart. - No, smart. So if you come down-- - Just be ready to fight a Kangaroo if you're coming to the show. - That's all we're saying. That's all we're saying. If you come down, just be willing and able to fight a Kangaroo in case shit pops off. Appreciate it sooner than in, kids. Go to iTunes, rate the show a five star and leave a quick review. You guys won't do it on iTunes. I don't really know why. Whereas iTunes just become fucking assholes. Are they deleting reviews? I'm not sure. We've been stuck on like 7,400 for feels like a year and a half now. Now Spotify has a different story. Spotify is at 8,700 reviews. So we're getting super fucking close to that 10,000 mark. - Spotify is so easy too. Just hit the five stars. - Sit. - Or anything. - Nothing, doesn't require anything out of you. So hit the five stars and then move on with your life. For Dampen and Anthony Holloway, I'm Ross Patterson. This is the Drinking Bros. podcast. Good night everyone.
