SPEAKER_02 0:39

Yeah, I mean that was perfect. Thanks a lot for hosting us and having us on. Yeah, you uh it's yeah, it's a pleasure to be here. Thanks a lot.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

Honestly, Kevin Kevin may have sorry, go ahead. Kevin may have stumbled upon the name of the podcast.

SPEAKER_02 0:51

You know what it is. You know what it is. You gotta be a new podcast out there. The you know what it is podcast? I'm convinced that if there is a name out there that is you know roughly related to a podcast, it's already it's being done or has been done before.

SPEAKER_07 1:06

Um I will say, Kevin, thank you for showing us how easy it is to join a podcast. Like I've never been on one of these before, but like this is this is kind of like the meetings I'm in at work all the time, but I get to do it with my friends. It's it's delightful. Thank you for having us.

SPEAKER_01 1:21

You're well, you're welcome.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

Thank you. That is a great point. It's very low threat. Like I was kind of nervous coming into it, but I but now that I'm here, I realize that there's really nothing to worry about at all. It's just like talking to your friends, you're just being recorded. So thanks a lot for doing that.

SPEAKER_07 1:34

And here's the thing here's the fact we're being recorded all the time anyway, so who cares? Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 1:39

All right. I'm gonna, if you don't mind, I'm gonna kick off the what's good, because mine's uh pretty straightforward. Well, I thought it was gonna be straightforward because we it's turned into a yearly tradition that we go to a Villanova basketball game. My uncle um is a big proponent of it, of getting us to do something with each of the kids, and for Lucas, it's always going to a Villanova game. So it's my dad, my uncle, Lucas, and my father-in-law that we go out to a Villanova game. And I really thought that this would be my what's good, but surprisingly, it's not. It was not what's good. And it just, I'm just a big vibes guy, and vibes were off. Vibes are off about kind of everything. Um, there's a bunch of reasons for it. Like it started out. Um I got to I was deciding whether to go up the night before or the morning of. The game was at noon, and so we were gonna meet up for breakfast at 9 30, but it's about three and a half hours away. So it was either like wake up at you know, 5 30 in the morning and get in the car and drive up there. So we decided to go up the night before. My dad was also staying in the area the night before. And so I was looking at places and I was like, whatever, I'll just stay at the same hotel as he will. But you know, I still had work that day, got back, and then we got into you know, we started driving at like six o'clock at night. We got the dinner along the way. So by the time we were getting to the hotel, it was like 10. And uh, you know, the kids usually go to bed between like between like 7 30 and 8. Uh and obviously a long day the next day. So my dad's so night message my dad's like, hey dad, we just took into the hotel. Like we're all good. He's like, Okay, great, I'm down at the bar. Like, come on down and we'll hang. I'm like, I mean, it's 10 o'clock, like, you know, like I can't I can't just like come down and hang. Going up to the bar at 10 o'clock. Yeah, like it's not really in the plans for us. And also, like, I can't just put my kid down to sleep and then leave him in there. So um, but yeah, so then uh, you know, my dad was telling me the story about how I did I had to get my parking tick validated by the front desk, which I was like, I don't think that's a thing, but whatever, I'll go do it. I'll drop Luke off with him there while I go run out to the car, get the ticket, come back, get it validated, and then we'll head on up. So we were there for like five minutes or something, just like say aye. But then my dad was like eating dinner at 10 o'clock, and you could tell that he just expected us to like stay and hang out. And I was like, nah, sorry, like we gotta, we gotta go and get to bed. Like, it's not, we just we're we I'm not at that place where I can do that, uh, unfortunately, especially for something like this. Um, so I was kind of unfortunate because I could tell that he like wanted to like catch up about stuff. But so then the next morning we were meet up for breakfast, and and breakfast was good, but um, I'm always very aware of like all parties being involved in the conversation, and I'm aware of like who's being left out or not included. And on this one, surprisingly, it was Luke that was being left out. Like, they were very interested in talking about uh about like you know, job stuff, a lot of Villanova stuff about NIL and how that's affected um how teams are and things like so it was a lot of very like in-depth conversations about stuff.

SPEAKER_04 4:43

And so Luke was just kind of like Luke didn't give his his thoughts on NIL?

SPEAKER_02 4:47

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Luke surprisingly did not have an opinion on it, which I was really disappointed in him, and he lost his dessert that night for not putting up about why Jay Wright left Villanova in the first place and all the intricacies behind it. But so he he was just kind of off to himself doing what kids do, building little like towers with the jams and the creamers that are at that. So he was fine, but he was just kind of like off in a corner by himself. He wasn't sitting next to me, and so like I was trying to like introduce topics for them to talk about about his basketball season and his baseball coming up, but they just never really took off. And so it was like us talking. I just felt kind of bad for Luke that I was like, oh man, my little man, he's just kind of like hanging over there, like just doing his thing, and he wasn't really a part of it. Um, but so then you know, you like we were getting good conversations about things, um, you know, about like catching up about stuff, but so then we had to go to the game, and I realized that if you if you haven't seen people in a while, going to a sporting event is not a great place to be because you're not talking, you know, like you're sitting next to each other watching a game, you're not having conversations about stuff because you're watching the game. So that's kind of what everyone was doing. Uh everyone just watching the game, enjoying it, and you know, it's fine. You know, Villanova won by a bunch by like 15 points, uh, which is a good thing, but it wasn't really a close game throughout. Um and then the biggest thing for me is that overall I no longer enjoy going to Villanova games, which is a really sad place that it's gotten to this, but because the there is no more student section. There is a student section, but they don't they do they do nothing. It's silent, which just it blows my mind. And we've been saying it for years. Like when you're watching on TV, it's like, what is going on? Like, where's the student section? All this. Uh, but particularly for Villanova, like I mean, when we were there, you were standing the entire time and you were making noise the entire game. There were chants when you know you were chanting Nova, you were when we were on defense, we would do uh when someone fouled out, we would count their steps. When someone made a foul, you would say, you can't do, you know, whatever. Like the air ball chance, everything. Like you were always making noise. And it was part, and it was the big environment of going to a game in person was that you are part of that environment. Well, there's nothing, literally silence, uh, throughout the entire game. And it's like, well, if that's not there, like I'd rather watch this on TV. I don't need to be here for this. Like, there's no environment that I'm a part of. I'd rather sit on my TV where I can hear the commentary, I can get slow motion replays, like, you know, there's so much more to sitting in the game. So no student section made me realize that I just I don't like going to Villanova games anymore. I'd rather just watch on TV. I don't need to go through that. Um, so that part was kind of a bummer. And then yeah, then we're just like not talking. And then afterwards it was really awkward because Luke was hungry throughout the game. And so during halftime, my dad and I went to go get food, and then I was like, hey, can we get two hot dogs? They're like, We're out of hot dogs. Okay, uh, can I get two pretzels? We're out of pretzels. What? It's like it's a halftime of the game. You don't have these like staples, and the only thing I can think of is that it's the last home game of the regular season. So they might just have just been like clearing out stock and just we're like, and they were like, whenever we run out, we run out, and that's it. We're not ordering more.

SPEAKER_04 8:06

But yeah, so like them them NIL checks are expensive, man.

SPEAKER_02 8:09

Yeah, yeah. Uh this the stadium's really poorly set up. I don't know if you've been there, Brandon, uh, in like the new Finn. Yeah. But it I don't like the way that the concourse is set up. Like, there's no place for the lines to go for the stuff, so you're just like perpendicular or parallel to where it is. Yeah, I know what you mean. So you're like in front of entrances to the stadium. So people are trying to like get by you as you're in line. So it's like it's just a mess of people out in front, which is weird for this redesign. So then afterwards, I was like, hey man, once we get done with here, we'll go get you food. And I saw that there's a wawa in Connelly now, like on campus, which is really cool. But so then, like afterwards, we're kind of just like waiting outside, and it's like overcast, kind of gloomy, chilly out, which always just affects the vibes for me when it's not like bright and sunny. It it really makes a big difference. So it's kind of like just the environment was not great. And then everyone just kind of stand there. I was like, hey, like, you know, we're gonna go and get food for him. You guys can leave or go, it's totally up to you. Like, it's totally fine. And then everyone just kind of like looking around, and they're like, Oh no, like we can walk, yeah, sure. I was like, okay. I like if you guys would rather leave, like, please do that. Like, it's totally fine. I just Luke is hungry, I'm gonna go get him food. And I also was interested in walking through the campus. So we go to walk there to Connolly Center, Connolly Center closed. Which I'm I I don't, it's it's our like big, big student like section where they have like a bunch of different food and stuff. It was closed.

SPEAKER_05 9:31

So we're sitting there and I like strain break.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

I is that why I guess, but uh, I've I feel like both times we went because the the last game that we went to, Brandon, right? Same thing. The Connolly Center was closed. Yeah. And uh it just seemed very weird. But then so then I look across and I see people coming out of our like dining hall area, and I'm like, well, we could try the dining hall, go over there, and I look over to it, and it's all dark, nothing's going on there. So then like we're all just like standing outside, and I'm like, well shit. Like, I don't know where else to get like I don't know where students are getting food if they came back early from spring break. And so the the bookstore that used to be right behind sorry, this is you know, this is Brandon's knowledge of the campus, but it used to be right behind the Oreo. They moved it all the way back by St. Mary's, like essentially off campus. Dude, it is way out, it's not on the campus, it's barely on campus. That's a hike. It's like a 20-minute walk from the Oreo to get there. So I was like, eh, we're gonna go and check it out. And so uh, and so I was like, yeah, if you guys want to come, you can. Like Luke was interested in going to go see it, so I was like, we're gonna take him and check it out. And then I was like, no, I think we're gonna take off. And he was like, okay, cool, like see him, say goodbye. And it was just like vibes the whole time were just we're just weird. It was just weird. The game wasn't that great because there was no student section, the one by a lot wasn't really that close, nobody was talking, and it just didn't like flow naturally, um, which was kind of a bummer. Uh, because that's always something that I like look forward to, is like getting together and like seeing everyone. But again, I think the big thing is that A, Villanova games aren't fun, and B, if you haven't seen people in a line and you're trying to catch up, don't go to a sporting event, you know? Yeah, because it just doesn't, it's not conducive to talk and conversation.

SPEAKER_07 11:08

Um I gotta say, that's uh that's one of the worst what's goods we've ever had. I know. You just described a bunch of bad things for previous minutes.

SPEAKER_02 11:22

Yeah, I mean, I want to start because I thought that was gonna be my easy what's good, and I was describing why it was not my what's good.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Oh, a map of Nova now, though, at least. That's good.

SPEAKER_02 11:32

Exactly. For everyone that hasn't been there, just know that you're gonna have to walk 25 minutes to get from the center out to our bookstore to buy a shirt. That's wild. Yeah, it's really I don't get it at all. Because that's where you want to be on the center of campus.

SPEAKER_04 11:44

But so what is what is the what is the what is the bookstore now?

SPEAKER_02 11:47

The bookstore is gonna be the new library. They're doing construction, that's where they're building the Falvi library is gonna be there. Uh which like I never step foot in, so like why is that in the center of campus? Is that a big deal? Who cares?

SPEAKER_07 12:00

The library is actually a name for the strip club that they need to attract talent in addition to the NIL.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Yeah, they just they just zoned it so that it's not actually on campus. They just removed that part so that it's not a good one. That's why there were no hot universities.

SPEAKER_07 12:15

And they called it the library because they moved the hot dogs and the pretzels to the strip club.

SPEAKER_03 12:23

Um food that I absolutely would not eat at a strip club. It is for sure a hot dog.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Yeah, yeah, you don't want to be slurping down a ween while you're sitting in front of a row.

SPEAKER_07 12:35

I think if it was like a male strip club, I would definitely serve hot dogs there. Yeah? I think that would be like a little little joke, a little joke for me. Two on the nose. Have only striped hot dogs. You can get something on your nose.

SPEAKER_04 12:50

He's got like his meat in one of the buns. Did I get a taco?

SPEAKER_08 12:54

No, hot dogs only. Don't you get what I'm going for here? It's a real waste of wonder bread.

SPEAKER_02 13:02

So okay, so that aside, that's what's not good. What is good? Uh it's funny how it goes both ways. Daylight savings time, uh, it it really brings the vibes up. Um, so just having it get lighter later and then hit with this immediate uh short spring that we're getting, it sounds like it's gonna be short-lived, but like getting to like mid-70s weather is uh is awesome. It just you know, it's nice having the doors open. I can get outside and grill. We're we're already out on our patio, like all like having all of our meals out there. Um, I'm a person, as I probably mentioned here, like I really enjoy the social aspect and having people to talk with and interact with. And so immediately today we had, you know, uh Megan's training for a half marathon. So she's running one of her one of her teammates on her competitive cheer team in college, lives like on the next road down from us, surprisingly. And so they are training for a half marathon together. So she came over to run, and you know, and I was talking to her. She owns this flower farm, and it's really interesting to me about everything that goes into that. Um, and then we had our neighbors route. They were gonna go do a drive to go take out the trash. I was talking to them. One of our other neighbors, her, we um Megan, I'll say, um, kind of helps watch her uh their daughter, and then she comes over, she's their nanny. So then she comes over and talks, like it was just it was just immediately like we were outside, people people was coming by, were coming by. It was a social thing, it just like totally different vibes uh were happening. So uh that's my what's good. It's always nice when you can uh change the clocks and get more of that sunny weather, uh, especially when it's nice and warm weather, because the evenings when it like summer days, terrible. I think they're the worst. I hate them. Summer evenings, though, that's the sweet spot. Those are always nice. So that's my what's good.

SPEAKER_07 14:56

Nice. Um I'm gonna go last because of something I cooked up literally after we started recording. But uh Kevin, you want to go next? Sure.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

As the host, Kevin is as Kevin as a host. Yeah, he should be determined. Yeah, I'll determine.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Um let's see, my what's good. Uh it's not really a big thing, but um this weekend I just went and got uh it was my brother-in-law's birthday. Um and we went to Hoodoo Brown, which is uh like a barbecue spot around here. The wait's always like crazy.

SPEAKER_02 15:30

Hoodoo Brown?

SPEAKER_01 15:31

Hoodoo Brown, yeah. We wait like two hours, always like that. Um there's also 11 of us.

SPEAKER_02 15:35

There was 11 of you?

SPEAKER_01 15:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:37

Man, good for you guys. And you and you all waited two hours.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

Oh, waited, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:42

Yo, this must be the best place ever.

SPEAKER_01 15:44

I really it's good. Some people, it's Anna's not like huge on it, but it's it's good. Okay. Um and they give like the portion, like it's it's I mean, it's not cheap, but it's it's a good barbecue spot. And um, no, but really the not even just the barbecue itself, which was good, but just the fact that I have I, you know, whether even though I don't have a lot of friends around that I spend time with, you know, often here, um, I love listening to the podcast because I get to kind of like hear what you guys have going on. Um, then like the weekly videos we send, or you know, try and send, those are also great. Um, but just like those little days.

SPEAKER_07 16:16

But really, Brenda's the only one that's been doing it for like three weeks.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

My own personal journal that's being cataloged and groupy. Um, but yeah, no, just the I so I get to spend a lot of time with like Anna's family, and it's like us and our kids, and her sister and their two kids, and then her other sister um and and her husband. And so it's like 11 of us, and we'd like just do most weekends, we're probably doing at least one or two things um together. Like we saw them on Friday, we saw them again all day Saturday. Um they took uh Sean go-karting on like Sunday. So like they're always like doing stuff kind of like together. So that's kind of like just my was my what's good. Just the fact that you know, I have not necessarily um friends like you guys around, but there's still stuff to be done and you know, family to hang out with, so it's it's good. It's what's good. Yeah, that's awesome. I like that, man.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Yeah, man, that's awesome. I'm like super jealous of that. Uh that you guys have big family that gets along really well and that is like closer on to each other, you guys can do things regularly. I think that's that's like really, really cool and special that you have that. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

Thank you. I agree.

SPEAKER_02 17:25

Yeah. And since we've met most of them uh uh recently, you know, they're all really cool, fun people. Yeah, yeah, no, they're there. Which is which is really awesome.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

Um cool. All right, let's uh go over to Brandon. Brandon, good next.

SPEAKER_04 17:42

Let's see what's good. Are we doing a like what's really terrible first before we we launch on this? Is it no no?

SPEAKER_07 17:49

I think that's I think that's just Brandon. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:52

No, my my what's good um is two things that recently have really come through in the clutch. And I know Brendan has glazed Costco a bunch already. And they're not a sponsor. You would think that they are, kind of, uh by the way that we talk about them. But my what's good are Costco and Ratings.com. Um, because I have a uh the sound bar for our TV shit out. Like some of the center speakers crapped out, and like uh we just like couldn't hear the dialogue of whatever we're watching very well. So I had to get a new sound bar. And like the way it's set up, like our like main living room area is in this, it's like a like kind of open concept, whatever. It's basically like a combined with our kitchen and this other like common area. So it's like a really long room. So I don't have like a home theater setup. So I don't want like uh like like some of the soundbars, like the good sound bars are like a thousand dollars and and and up. It's like I I I don't want to spend that much on something like that because I just I don't have the setup for it. Uh, and I don't watch enough like stuff that would actually warrant that kind of investment in something like that. But I don't want to get a shitty soundbar either. Like I don't want something that's gonna sound like a tin can. Um so I utilize ratings.com whenever I need to make a purchase like that constantly. Like I I did that for um the TVs that I've gotten really everywhere throughout the house. Uh and it's I've just never heard of I've never heard of that.

SPEAKER_07 19:19

It's R. R. T-I-N-G-S.

SPEAKER_03 19:21

Yeah. It's R T-I-N-G-S.com. And they have like uh they take like a very scientific approach to like their ratings of of anything tech, anything sound or or visual. Like it's mostly audio-visual stuff. Um they do let do like headsets um for for like audiophile stuff too. Uh they they they do a bunch of different things, but they have like machines where they'll they'll like for TVs, they'll test the black levels and they'll test like like the brightness of the whites and like the color gradation and to make sure that that all that stuff is is is is accurate. Um so really cool stuff. Um and I I utilize them uh to like they they do like a best of list at like different levels. So they have like the best sound bars you can get, but then it's like the best, like best overall sound bars, and they list list like two options. Uh and then they have like a best upper range, uh upper budget level, mid-budget level, lower budget level, and then like like best cheap ones. It's like, man, that's that's awesome. Um and they they've done that for all their TVs too. So uh I was on there and was was looking for something that was like like in the price range, what whatever. Uh and they have since since I I started using them, because I I again it's been it's been a few years now, but they've paywalled a bunch of stuff that they do now. And like totally get it. Times are times are tough. Uh, but there's a lot of the content that's still free. And those like rankings they they still still have available out there for you. But if you like Google search, like the the model number of the thing and you the uh ratings.com uh like like search result comes up, you can see what their overall score is still. Um so there's like a little hack around it in the in the Google results. But in any event, I found found uh like a high sense uh uh soundbar that got rated well for that. That like normally like the retail for it's like 400 bucks. They they tell you when it's on sale or whatever. They also came through in the clutch and said, Well, by the way, there's also this model, it's available as the cost-only model that is basically the same. Um and that the they said that while we haven't tested it, all of the specifications are the same as the model that we have tested. It like doesn't have the like the the regular model has this like um auto pair with your high sense TV if you have a high sense TV and it has like an AI room calibration where it'll like send out sound waves and calibrate it based on that. None of the shit that I care about anyway. And that thing is it and that's$250. So it's like$150 cheaper from Costco, this like just with a couple missing features than like the the normal uh the normal sound bar is if you were buying it at like Best Buy or anywhere else. So I was like, damn, that's Awesome. So gotta gotta gotta it was rated 8.1 on ratings.com. Uh set it up today. Have it have the whole home uh home AV setup done now. But uh ratings.com and Costco really helped me out there. A couple of cool tools.

SPEAKER_07 22:14

I'm gonna do just a quick tangent. Uh I think Brendan, especially, this would be for you, but I realize also I don't know who you would do this with. There's a movie coming out called Undertone. Turn it on Friends. Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately, yeah. You're right, by the way. Correct. Uh there's a movie coming out called Undertone. Um, and it is kind of already picking up like a lot of viral traction because it is one of the first movies that has like really tried to engineer fear through sound and nothing else. Like it's not just about visuals, it's about like what they do with the audio. And so they're and I've seen a bunch of people who have like gone to screenings reacting like like it took me like a day to like unclenched just because uh they've gotten to these these screenings that are like special audio mix screenings where you you are watching a movie, but it sounds like a voice is behind you at times or whatever. So they've done like all that stuff. Um I was like, I was like, man, I think Brendan would love this. It's like a scary movie, but also like kind of this like very interesting experience, and I don't know, like almost like you know, I compare it to like a roller coaster or something. Um, but worth checking out if you if you get the chance somehow.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, that sounds cool. And it's coming, it's is it having like a major release, like a major theatrical release?

SPEAKER_07 23:29

I think this one's picking up enough traction that it's gonna be one of those movies that they like put in a bunch of theaters and it was probably like made on a relatively small budget relative to like bigger whatever productions, and like the profit on this is gonna be bonkers, I think, just because a bunch of people are gonna go see it.

SPEAKER_08 23:46

So yeah. Nice. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 23:48

Cool. All right. My what's good. Uh it was always gonna be this as kind of a a thing, but then I have this idea mid uh recording a few minutes earlier. Uh my what's good is our friend Paul, who uh just celebrated his uh his birthday. Um also happy birthday, Ava, who I think was the day after. The day after. Um I look forward to to seeing Paul in 2030 when he's done overlapping his family planning with our Pokenose trips. But in the spirit of his birthday, uh I had this idea and I was like, all right, let's cook cook this together real quick. We're gonna do a special trivia real quick before we get to history. And it's and it's gonna be it's gonna be Paul Facts.

SPEAKER_02 24:36

All right. We're trivia heavy on this episode.

SPEAKER_07 24:39

Oh, we're going trivia heavy always. All right. I I also have tried to not uh some of these are like ever people are gonna know the answer, so it's fine. Uh all right, number one for ten points, and these points are arbitrary, so don't try to add them up. Wait, wait, hold on.

SPEAKER_08 24:53

Are we gonna be doxing Paul?

SPEAKER_07 24:55

What is Paul's address? I know, right? Can you imagine? It's like what are the first three numbers of his social? Uh what is his wife's maiden name? Um, okay. Number one for ten points. What unusual item did Paul bring with him for the very first time he met Brendan?

SPEAKER_04 25:12

Come on. Unusual item? Yeah, I don't know. It's that unusual. I feel like most people bring that when they're meeting Brendan for the first time.

SPEAKER_02 25:17

I think it was unusual. I thought it was quite unusual.

SPEAKER_08 25:22

All right, who's got the answer? Who's got the answer? He's got a shank a bitch. I'll go with I'll go with D knife, final answer.

SPEAKER_07 25:31

That is that is correct. Um, for for for a hundred points, at one party, Paul and Sarab tried to convince everyone of what completely fake dramatic situation. Paul and Sarab. I don't know. Actually, this might be a one that none of you are around for, too, so it might just not be a one you can answer. Might be uh fake dramatic situation.

SPEAKER_03 25:53

What do you guys like stage stage a fight?

SPEAKER_02 25:55

God damn, that's correct. Okay, was that at uh BK I don't know how much to say or not say, but okay.

SPEAKER_08 26:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 26:06

But like nobody bought it, nobody reacted, and we just kept doing it for so long. Like we were like very sweaty and like it was ridiculous, like throwing us and like rolling. Like I was just like Man, I like vaguely remember that now. Yeah, yeah. And I I think like a like Amanda, I can say the last name was there. She was upset at it all. No, she wasn't. She just like we I remember she was just one of those people where I'm like, oh look, isn't this like at least funny if you know it's fake? And just no reaction, could not care. And I was like, eh, well, whatever. Right, Br Brandon with 100 points. Nice. Nice. Uh number three, no matter what accent you ask him to do, Paul always falls back on the same terrible one. What is it and what line does he always say? Is this the uh is this the y'all want some ribs? Ribs. That's correct. I didn't even I didn't I I forgot how many points that was gonna be, but is that a southern accent? I think so. I think so. Like no matter what you'd give them, just be like, Yeah, I want some ribs. All right. Um okay, whenever uh actually we're gonna we're gonna do another one first. Uh for 20 points. What unexpected emergency almost ruined Paul's best man present for Sarav. Unexpected emergency.

SPEAKER_08 27:26

Unexpected emergency during his wedding?

SPEAKER_07 27:27

No. Best man present.

SPEAKER_08 27:29

Right, so like before the wedding off.

SPEAKER_07 27:31

So what he was actually no, it was after. It wasn't like uh the gift you give somebody when you ask them to be your best man.

SPEAKER_03 27:37

This is kind of like a for being the guest best man. Yeah. Um it'd be an I don't think I recall this one.

SPEAKER_02 27:45

An unexpected emergency.

SPEAKER_07 27:47

Arguably one of the bigger stories of my lifetime. Whoa.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

Was this your your cancer scare?

SPEAKER_07 27:54

No. That was not in 2018.

SPEAKER_08 27:57

Yeah, I I mean, I would I would think that was one of the biggest things of your life. You kind of you kind of led me to that answer.

SPEAKER_07 28:06

You were just remembering information from the last podcast. Right. He needed he needed he needed an emergency root canal. No, incorrect. The emergency is diarrhea. I had a crazy stomach bug, and he visited me in New York because he had brought he had bought us front row seats at a comedy club to see Chris Hardwick. I don't know if you guys remember who Chris Hardwick was. He was one of the OG podcast guys, stand-up comedians, whatever. Um, and I was so severely ill that uh on Friday night we didn't do anything, and he just like went out and got himself a sandwich or came back. We just like hung out in my apartment. And then Saturday I was like praying I would feel better, but I did not. And I was basically going to the bathroom every like hour or two hours. Um, and then I was like, you know what? I have to power through. So I went to this show with him, and we were like there. And it was also bad because this was, you know, like if you've been in comedy clubs, especially in New York, you know, they're not set up well, like they're kind of jammed in there. And so front row seats meant that like if I wanted to leave, I had to get up and like I was on it at a table where like four people in my row would need to get up to let me leave because I'm like my shoulder, my right shoulder's on the stage. Yeah. And uh, you know, I was thinking like in the middle of the in some of the openers, I had to go to the bathroom, and I was like, oh, nice. I may have nailed the window. Like, I got this episode out of my system. By the time the next one comes, I'll have the show will be over. Not the case. Uh in the middle of Chris Hardwick's set, who is the headliner, and as you guys know, stand-up etiquette. You do not go to the bathroom or whatever. You try to do all that stuff, you do not do that in the middle of the headliner set. I'm like, I'm gonna fucking die if I don't leave right now. I'm like sweating, I have cramps, so I just stand up and I'm like, uh, and as as I turn to leave, I'm arms wrap around me, and it is Chris Hardwick hugging me and just being like, please don't do this. Please don't, please don't go. And I was like, I was like, uh um and squeeze too hard. I don't right. Uh I don't know what it was. I have diarrhea. I will say, I don't know what it was that he did, or if it was just like the adrenaline of like, okay, he's explicitly asking me, like, and he's making a joke of it too. And then like I sit down and he's like, What do you got? Like, do you need like a number one or a number two? And I was like, uh, number one. And he's like, Oh, come on, man, you can hold it. Like, I don't know, we just kind of moved past it. But I swear to God, my entire, my entire body, my entire body shifted into like some gear where it's like, cool, I'm good. And it just did not bother me until the show is over. And then I sprinted to the bathroom after it was over. But like during, I was like, I don't know what it was about like that moment that like whatever was about to happen just went away. And I'm like, God, the human body's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 30:54

And she shamed your diarrhea back up and doing it.

SPEAKER_07 30:59

She shamed his back her clothes tight. It's pretty it's pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. There's a video that really means it.

unknown 31:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 31:06

All right, last one. Uh for a million points. Um, whatever Paul used to blackout, what strange phrase would he repeatedly say before he got to that point? Man.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

Strange phrase.

SPEAKER_01 31:19

Well, as soon as you say it, I'm gonna be upset that I didn't get it.

SPEAKER_02 31:22

I think I have a guess.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

Who's got who's got only had one drink?

SPEAKER_04 31:24

Is that what you said, Jeff?

SPEAKER_01 31:25

Yeah, had one drink.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

Not the asparagus.

unknown 31:28

No.

SPEAKER_07 31:31

Uh no. Uh what so what Paul would say as he was getting drunk, but when he re when he realized he was gonna like go over the cliff or whatever it was, he would just kind of smile and he would just be like, see ya, see you later. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Uh, you got it. Anyways, happy birthday, Paul. Uh, I don't know who won that the asparagus. I like that you imagine him as like a Friday night nick at night sitcom dad.

unknown 32:04

All right.

SPEAKER_07 32:04

All right, cool. Yeah, happy birthday, Paul. Happy birthday, Paul. Let's switch into some quiz time. Uh this week in history again. Also, I have to add a uh uh what's uh what's the word? I don't know. There's a news term for this. But uh I found out that like because I've been using you know AI to help kind of identify some of the weirder things in history that I then convert into trivia, I found out that it was giving me a lot of bullshit, dates and stuff that was like wrong. Because I was like, Yeah, it was giving me stuff that happened this week that I was like, I've used these in episodes like in the last three, four weeks. Like, which is it? Which is right? Uh, and it I realized it got a bunch of random stuff wrong. So now I'm making it like check its own work, which is amazing because you just ask it to check its own work and then it just nails everything right away. And I'm like, how do I make you just do it the first time?

SPEAKER_02 32:58

Yeah, it's weird that you have to ask it to verify that the answers that it gives you are correct. I'm thinking, isn't that the point of you me asking you the question to begin with? Exactly. Make sure you give me a correct exactly. Um before you get into that, can I just throw out two random things before we get into the trivia portion of it that I had to mention? Uh NFL. So we have uh we've now had, I can now tell uh for the third time that BK has not listened to either of the two previous uh episodes because he still has not mentioned something. We're gonna continue on with that trend uh just to see at what point he picks up with it. So NFL free agency happened, and we're not in a we're not get like we're not delving into all these different maneuvers and things like that, but a lot of stuff has happened. I always see things from a fantasy um lens. And so one of the big moves that happened is that Kenneth Walker signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. So Kenneth Walker last year on the Seattle Seahawks, he he was in a tandem backfield between him and Charbonnet, and it was really annoying from a fantasy perspective. He didn't know who to start or who to trust. BK had both of them on his team, and it was back and forth every time. Uh in the playoffs, Charbonnet got hurt, and then Kenneth Walker went on to have an awesome stretch run in the playoffs, got through a Super Bowl MVP, um, got his ring, everything was good, and then now he signs with the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been needing a Belcout running back. Surprising stat. Patrick Mahomes has never had a thousand-yard rusher um behind him in any of his seasons in the NFL, which is uh which is interesting.

SPEAKER_05 34:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:27

I I mean, like he's had good ones like Kareem Hunt and um, but uh I guess not. So uh so anyway, so immediately when I saw that come through, uh you know, through the fantasy lens, I was like, man, I remember BK drafted Kenneth Walker in the fifth. And man, this guy's gonna backdoor into an awesome like fourth round keeper uh just out of luck. So um so I pulled up the fantasy app and I go to BK's team and I see that Kenneth Walker's not on his team. And I'm like, what? This dude held him the entire season. Like I distinctly remember, like there's no, you know, he started to get good at the end. Like, and BK's usually someone who doesn't go and make a bunch of you know maneuvers and things like that. So then I go to the transaction list and I see sure enough that BK had dropped Kenneth Walker, and he dropped him on December 18th. And I was like, man, what's December 18th? That was a couple days before the last week of our season. Basically, our championship week uh games were that week. Um, and he dropped him for uh for Ronday Gadston for a tight end. Um then two days later, he dropped Aronday Gadston for Harold Fannon. So he he wanted another tight end. The tight end on his team was Kyle Pitts, who the week before had broken all records of 40, you know, he scored like 44 point something points in our league and you know dominated on BK's bench. So then uh so so BK inexplicably was was worried about getting another tight end. Also, this was the championship week of our season. BK was not in the championship game, he was not in the third place game, he was not in the Sacco Bowl. BK was in a matchup for fifth place. Arguably the most pointless, meaningless matchup in our entire season is there. He was playing against Kevin. BK, so he he dropped Kenneth Walker for Ronda Gadsden, dropped Rhonda Gadsden for Harold Fannon. Harold Fannon remained on his bench for that match as he started Kyle Pitts and lost by just over one point to Kevin in a meaningless match for fifth place. So, because of that, Kenneth Walker is no longer eligible to be a keeper for BK because he dropped him three days before the end of the season for a tight end that he did not play in the most meaningless game. So I just had to throw that out that I went through this and I just could not believe the sequence of events that led me there.

SPEAKER_07 36:56

So, not to clown on him, but uh I told I told you guys I told you guys earlier in the season he's he's a shit manager, he's not he's not good at fantasy.

SPEAKER_02 37:07

All right, thanks for just pulling apart the curtain. We can all just say it how it is. I totally agree. He's probably the worst we've ever seen. I don't know what's worse. Adrian at Mario Kart or BK at fantasy football.

SPEAKER_07 37:19

Exactly in comparison. Yeah. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 37:22

That's right. So that's the move that's kind of that'll go down in infamy for him, especially if Kenneth Walker turns out to be like the RB1 and breaks all these records the next year. Gonna point to this. Um, so I just want to mention that. The other thing, I'm glad that we have uh a uh another parent with children that can kind of add some colour to Rob. Your mom called me. She told me to mention that very distinctly that I needed someone with another parental perspective since you didn't have any, you had no perspective on it.

SPEAKER_07 37:57

I knew she was listening.

SPEAKER_02 38:00

So we are uh we always as we're going through and the kids get older, you know, as parents, you have to determine what is an appropriate age for certain things, how long of a leash you let them have in certain instances. So, and in general, Megan is more protective than I am. I'm more like, hey, let them go out and experience things. Um, and so it's like us managing that together of finding like the middle ground and what's correct. And the one that has come up this week is playing in the woods. We have behind our house, we have a big wooded area, and it basically goes back behind like our entire neighborhood. It just goes to the left and right, and it's like all the way down. So there's been a bunch of times that we've just gone out in the woods, it's really fun. We take the kids out there and we just go walking through it. There's this like stream that runs, um, that runs down it, and it's great. Uh so then uh so then like we're playing, and Luke was like, Hey, can we go into the woods? I'm like, dude, you can go into the woods. And and Megan's like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? I'm like, please like just go play in the woods. Like, this is what we all did growing up. You just go out and explore in the woods. And he's with Logan, right? Like Logan loves going along with him, and those two go out and uh do the thing. Lenny doesn't give a shit, she'll just stay by us and hang out, she doesn't really care. Um, but so that's the one where I'm like, man, like that's just like that's being a kid is going out in into the woods and playing. And Megan's like, yeah, but it's different now. And I'm like, are the woods different? Like, you know, it's still wood, like you're still going out, like picking up bugs and climbing over trees, jumping over streams and rivers, and you know, and then you just have a good time out there. And uh, so I'm interested in what I mean. I don't know how much woods you guys have or if you guys are exposed to this situation, but essentially, like, what like what's your comfort, you know, our kids are younger. I don't know. We got um, you know, we got an almost seven-year-old and a five-year-old, and it seems like they're getting to the age. And I, you know, from my perspective, I think it's also teaching a little bit of like responsibility for Luke that he's kind of looking after his sister and taking care of things and making sure that they're doing the right things and staying safe. And uh, so I'm interested in your guys' perspective on like if you would be comfortable letting your kids obviously, Kevin now yours are older now, uh, you know, mixed, but like at what age were you guys comfortable with that? And you know, it'd be interesting to have another female perspective as well on this, or a why uh a mother perspective, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 40:27

Yeah, if we if we do bring if we do bring the Megan's on to tell us what we were wrong about, what our our bad takes were. Um I'm I'm sure Megan will have something to say about this. Well, no, and I I think I it just I just think she's she's like read like a lot of books about the benefits of unsupervised play. And like we try to make it a point to make sure that the we limit the helicoptering as much as possible and to let them like go out and figure it out because there is like there's a whole bunch of sociological and psychological studies about like how it's the way that kids that are in like the high school college age now are a big part of them not being able to deal with conflict and not being able to deal with like being told no or things not going their way or or not knowing how to handle things for themselves. Um I think I made a mention, I don't know if I mentioned it here or on like one of our our uh update videos or or whatever, but there's like these the recruiters and for the armed forces, like people at West Point and stuff are talking about how like they're talking to a bunch of parents now with their like recruits and their cadets that are coming through, which was like not the case 10, 20 years ago. Like like the they were dealing with adults and people who are ready to come in to the world at 18 and know what they're signing up for when they're signing up for armed forces, and that's that's like not the case now because you you have very very involved parents who kind of like stay that way and and that the a lot of the recruits like look to them for that. So there's like interesting. Megan's just super cognizant of that stuff and like wants to let go as much as possible. That being said, like we do have we have boys uh who are at that level and they do do boy play and sometimes it's it's it's rougher and it's hard for her to sometimes step back and and and and to not interfere with things. And I mean, I mean it and it and it's hard for me too. And if I see something that I know is not going to end well and and and not what you know they should be doing, hard to to know where that line is on when I should step in and when not. But in terms of like going out into the woods and and like exploring and playing, like yes, I I I I would let them go and say, Have at it, go do it. Um, knowing that they would probably find sticks and would probably like sword fight with each other and somebody might catch something in the eye and it might be a problem. But like again, like that's like I remember doing that kind of shit with my brothers when we would go out into our woods. So um, and that's how you like gain confidence in yourself.

SPEAKER_02 43:00

Like, oh, I gotta get across the stream. Well, I never would have you know jumped over, you know, mom never would have let me jump over this. Like, I'm here by myself. I'm gonna try to jump over. Like, oh man, look, I can do that.

SPEAKER_08 43:10

This is awesome. Right.

SPEAKER_03 43:11

And that's where and less concerned about the other like I don't think and I I don't I don't want to speak for Megan and what her fears might be or what she's thinking about. I don't think there's somebody in a trench coat that's hiding behind a boulder who's gonna try to like abscond with the kids. Which I think that is her algorithm. That's her algorithm. And again, like like I said, I I think I had mentioned it, like there was like this there was this movie that came out in the eighties that was like there's some person got abducted, and that's where the do you know where your kids are thing came up throughout the nineties, and I think kinda had like this this impact where those stories became more prevalent and then people became more aware of it, and then people felt that it constantly happened when reality child abductions have gone down over the years. So it's like it's like not yeah. So it's it's like not it it's It's not more dangerous, you were just more aware of it nowadays. Statistically speaking, that's the the it's it's it's it's better reporting. So that's where, like last summer, kind of the the big thing that we did of in terms of like, you know, the exploration, because we don't have woods or anything around here. We're in a pretty like residentially developed area, so so we don't have woods per se, but there is the neighborhoods that are across from us are like these quiet streets. And last year, Teddy learned how to ride his bike. And also, or last summer, Teddy learned how to ride his bike like on his own and got really good at it uh and watched the sand lot and really just wants to do hood rat shit with his friends, jump on his bike and like go biking around with with people. So like we like let him, there's like a loop that we would whenever we go out on walks and like like walk the dog or do like family walks, there's like this loop of like these back back road things that are like super quiet roads, there's hardly any cars that come through that we'd go on a walk. And we're like, hey, like you want to go for a bike ride, take your bike out and and go for your go for your ride. Now we like we we put an air tag on him so in case he ever did get lost or or strayed from the past or whatever, like we would be able to to see that um at some level. But he like went out and and did his his whole like bike ride and and made it back all right and things like that. So we we we are like actively looking for like those kinds of opportunities to have more agency and more like go go explore, go out and do shit and not always have Mommer Dad readily available. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:21

Kevin, do you have any any anything to add, agree, disagree?

SPEAKER_01 45:25

Um, I think I mostly agree. It definitely it's not different, but it is different. It shouldn't be. It's actually you would think with more technology that oh, you can do more stuff, right? Because like my kid would have a phone if they were across the street, right? I have a a park across the street from my house. Like a uh like a hiking trail across the street from my house. And you would think, oh yeah, like you have a phone too. Like go ahead, like it's fine. If something happens, just like call me. Um, but they don't they have no desire to go over there. One, two, I don't know how any of them over there, which is again weird because when I was eight, nine, ten, I was taking my bike, driving a mile down the street, and like dride my bike around like a reservoir, like in the middle of the woods, like there was nothing there. But now, like I wouldn't that just is not a thing that would happen. But I think for me, we have woods in my house in the yard, and we have like a tree house and stuff back there that we built. Um, and I love for the kids to go out there and just like do whatever they want to do back there. So I think if like in the privacy of our own space, like our area, go out, explore, like have fun, there's enough, like we're secluded enough and there's enough to do that. But especially with like what Anna's job is and like the shit that I hear, like the stories. Now, again, granted, most of them are within the home, right? Most of these like really crazy like stories are from within the house or people that they already know. Yeah. Still in your head a little bit, like, oh, like this shit, like maybe the abduction numbers are down, but people are wild. Right.

SPEAKER_03 46:53

And I and to just to clarify that, that like abductions from strangers are down. Yes, yeah, yeah. It's like it's it's mostly family and people that they know. Like, that's where most of that shit does actually come from. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:05

So like in reality, there's it's definitely it's safer than it used to be, and we have the technology. I guess you put an air tag on, you know, I'll tell you, like, that's we have the technology to make it even safer. But it still is like I do still kind of hesitate and I do have a little more you know trepidation about letting them go off and do whatever. Um, I think that that's kind of like Sean doesn't like when I was Sean's age, I would go. I lived in the same house I live in now, I would go across the street and I would go like hiking around by myself like all summer long. There's no way he's gonna do that. And I don't know if that's because he doesn't want to or because he knows that like Anna and I would probably not feel comfortable with him doing that, you know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 47:42

Yeah, I think that that's where we're at is how to let them do their thing, but also install appropriate guardrails to it. You know, give them the freedom to do it, but also like, okay, what's the limit though? Like, how do you know when too far, you know, what is too far? And I and and that's like tough with the woods because it's like, okay, you know, maybe it should be something like I go out and I mark a tree, you know. I like paint a color on like a tree. Like, hey, don't go past this tree if you're ever out here. So I know kind of like where you're at. Um, I think that's where we're at. It's just, you know, we you know, we're gonna look into like walkie-talkies. Like, hey, if we call you on the walkie-talkie, like make sure you pick up. But then it's like, what's the range of that? How far is that going? We'd have to do a bunch of testing on that. So I think that's where we're at. It's just it, you know, it's it's just the appropriate way to do it, but it's just it's just always a reminder of how different we're treating things now. I'm not necessarily gonna go as far as say how different things are from when we were younger. I agree that they're different, but you know, I don't know what you know, all the numbers between abductions that they like are the woods the same as they used to be? Are more things happening in the woods? Like, I don't know. For me, yeah, go up and climb trees and do all this sort of stuff. So um we just we just handle things differently. Uh good or bad. I don't I don't know. Uh I think it's worse, but I mean it was I think Yeah, I I that's what I would think. I mean, I think I think that's kind of uh a normal answer for older generations to say that the younger generations are worse and more coddled, and you know, I think that we're we're we're kind of in that old man phase of like, yeah, we had it so much tougher and we had so much more freedom as a kid than these kids. Um, but uh yeah, just something that came up that's like, man, like we're trying to figure this out and we have different perspectives on it. And yeah, yeah, like Megan's algorithm is all about the dangers of it. The one that she's on is not letting your child go to a public bathroom by themselves, like basically no matter what age. And like the video is like this person like opening the door to the bathroom, you can see like a man's foot in there behind like the door. Uh and it's like, okay, like I don't you know, Luke can go in and like handle his business and stuff, but you know, she doesn't ever want to let him like go to the bathroom. And I'm not I'm not downplaying that that that these threats can happen anywhere. Right. It's just it's trying to navigate at what point do you eventually they're gonna have to go to the bathroom by themselves, right? Like, you know, like at what point is that going to happen? Like he's not gonna be 16 and I'm like walking his hand to the bathroom to clear out, make sure that no one's hiding in the stall for him. Like, uh, you know, it's just we we have so much more of like we're like information is so readily available, you know, different agendas are being pushed by different people, you know, who trying to determine as as we've talked about many times on this, trying to determine what's truth and what's uh and what's not, and trying to determine to keep everyone safe, uh, but also allowing them to grow on their own. Um so came up.

SPEAKER_01 50:36

Comment on that too, Brennan. Just about like the the bathroom thing too. Is and this shouldn't be I think everyone's always trying to cover their own asses, and I think that's a huge part of where why we handle things the way we handle things now. If you were like a busy restaurant where like you didn't have eyeline of the bathroom and you sent your six-year-old to go to the bathroom on their own, they would probably call social services on. Yeah, very true. Which is crazy in the bill, you're there, right? But they would they would see an a kid by himself going into a bathroom by themselves, and they would probably hold that kid or ask where his parents are. They might question you, they might not, and they would probably call the police because and I'm I mean that completely seriously.

SPEAKER_02 51:16

Yeah, we when we lived on base here, uh, we had a neighbor that reported another mother that was friends that was really good friends with Megan. They reported her because they knew that she had a um a baby, I g I guess an infant. Um, and the mother was outside the house while the baby was inside napping. And they reported the mother because I guess in some contractual living, it's in like the bylaws of living on base or whatever um that that's in there. And so someone else was watching this mother and was like, I know that she has a baby, she's not with the baby, and called and re and reported her. And the mother was like distraught. She was talking to Megan, she was in tears. She wanted to get off base. Yeah, she's like, This is ridiculous. I was on my porch with my monitor next to me as my baby is inside sleeping, and I have someone watching me and reporting me for this. So that you you mentioned in that is a great point that like people are watching and they're like looking for this stuff. They're you know, I don't know if they're trying to help or just trying to, you know, I don't know what it is, uh, or just trying to get someone on this. But you're right. If you send someone, if someone thinks that it's fishy, it's gonna be on the internet, it's gonna be posted, someone's gonna make a phone call about you, and you're gonna have to answer questions about it. Uh yeah. So it's that's unfortunately uh that's a good point. Um, all right, cool. I think we covered that. Sorry. Uh Rob went off on a tangent for you, but get back to this week in history.

SPEAKER_07 52:47

Thank you. Thank you for tuning in to two quick things with Brenda.

SPEAKER_03 52:55

The SpongeBob narrator voice, two hours later.

SPEAKER_07 52:58

Two hours later. All right, we'll try to rapid fire these because uh the time's going. Um okay. This debuted in 1912 and went on to change the cookie game forever.

SPEAKER_03 53:12

The cookie game. I'm gonna say This is Fields. Ooh, good guess. I'm gonna say Toll House. Toll House chocolate chips. What you got? Oh no. I think I what is it? Oreos. Oreos. That that's what I just thought of that I was gonna go with.

SPEAKER_07 53:30

No, no, I think I deliberately threw you guys off on this one. This rough. Well, no, I you guys guess a lot of them really well. Uh no. Uh the debut in 1912 was the Girl Scouts organization.

SPEAKER_05 53:44

Oh good one.

SPEAKER_07 53:46

But they did, but they did change the cookie game forever. Yeah. All right. This planet was first discovered in 1781 by William Herschel, who wanted to name it George's Star after the ruling king.

SPEAKER_03 53:58

Georgia's Star, 1781, a planet that was found. I said Uranus.

SPEAKER_02 54:04

But I was I also feel like Sarav would add something in about Uranus. I'm going to add something else. I'm going to stick with Uranus. Uh Saturn. Yeah, you yeah, you must stick with his Uranus.

SPEAKER_07 54:19

Uh yeah, the answer is Uranus. Okay. Man, you just let that one go, huh? I did. I gotta do reverse psychology sometimes. I gotta I gotta keep people guessing.

SPEAKER_01 54:31

Um okay and with the uh the uh shining question last week, you quadruple rich reverse. That was crazy. That was crazy, dude. Listening to that in the car.

SPEAKER_07 54:44

Yeah, yeah, no. I I again that is the the visual part of the podcast that people don't get to see.

SPEAKER_08 54:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 54:50

Because I was just like, oh, I'm looking, I'm watching Brendan's face. Shining ain't it. Um okay. Uh this rapper died on March 9th, just five days after releasing a smash hit single. I'm not giving you the year. Um the single? I'm going uh not giving you the single. I'm going Tupac.

SPEAKER_02 55:12

That's that's where it went, but that's also where I'm going. What you got, Brandon? Um I'll just stick with Tupac to keep it moving.

SPEAKER_07 55:19

That is incorrect. The answer is Biggie. Um it was it was it was March 9th, 1997. It was five days after his first single from his album uh dropped, which was Hypnotize. Oh wow. Nice. Even I didn't know that though. That's crazy that he died five days after Hypnotiz came out. That's wild. Yeah. Um okay, this is a little less interesting, but curious what you guys think. In 1862, this week marked the debut of something green in the US that became a staple of rap songs.

SPEAKER_05 55:55

Marijuana?

SPEAKER_07 55:56

What year? What year? 1862.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

Oh no. Uh the hundred dollar bill. That's what I was yeah, I was gonna say one of the bills, and I was gonna say a hundred. I'll just say uh twenty. Trust to Benjamin's different, but yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 56:09

Kevin, what do you got?

SPEAKER_02 56:09

Makes sense.

SPEAKER_07 56:11

Uh you did not need to specify a denomination. It was paper money. Paper money started being printed in 1862 this week. Okay, last one. In 1924 this week, the Caesar salad is invented in this country.

SPEAKER_02 56:28

Oh this threw me off. I heard this recently. Oh man. I feel like it might be too obvious, but I'm I'm gonna go to Greece. Yeah, it's like, oh God. Romania.

SPEAKER_04 56:41

That's a good one.

SPEAKER_07 56:42

Romania? Okay. With the lettuce, all right. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 56:49

Did you not mean were you not thinking about the lettuce when you mentioned that?

SPEAKER_02 56:57

No, it's some like Spanish uh speaking country, I th I thought. Something, I don't know. I'll just go with like Ecuador, but I know it's not something it's something weird though.

SPEAKER_07 57:08

Way closer to home, it's Mexico. Mexico. Uh it was invented by a chef in Tijuana during a very busy July 4th weekend. Not that July 4th was a thing back then, but uh not not in Mexico at least.

SPEAKER_02 57:24

But uh very busy July 4th weekend. Why? Why was it busy?

SPEAKER_01 57:29

We got all this salad now.

SPEAKER_07 57:31

These ingredients just came together and it was a whole thing. Um so, anyways, yeah. That was quiz time.

SPEAKER_02 57:37

Oh, that's cool. Nice. Um, all right, moving into the trivia uh portion of it. So this is our last episode before the Oscars. I realized that the Oscars are this Sunday. So this is going to be an Oscar-themed trivia game. Oh as we head into it. You are going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_04 57:59

I really hope it's I really hope it's not about movies and it's just about people named Oscar in history. That'd be that'd be phenomenal.

SPEAKER_07 58:08

It's just trivia about the life of Oscar Meyer, hot dog entrepreneur. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 58:12

Yeah, who primarily sold hot dogs at strip clubs. Nailed. All comes together. All right. So the way that this is going to work, this is basically a price is right type game. So there's going to be a primary guesser for each question, and that will, and that will rotate every question. So one person gives a primary guess. The other two contestants have to either guess if the answer is higher or lower. So the primary guesser has a chance to earn 10 points. So they start out with essentially 10 points. If if one of the hijackers is what is what we're calling the other two people, if their guess is correct, it takes away five points from the original guesser. So if Brandon guesses a number, uh, let's say he that he guesses five and the answer is ten, and both Sarab and Kevin say that it's higher, Sarab and Kevin both get five points and Brandon gets zero. It's zero. Damn. Does that make sense? Yep. So if it's Sarav says Sarav and Kevin get then Sarab gets no points, Brandon, you get five points, and Kevin gets five points. Yep, exactly. So there's only ten points that are given out. Yep. So ten points are given out, and you start with them as a primary guesser. It's up to the other two people to steal those points. Does that make sense? Well, so these are all so these are all number questions. All right. There's gonna be four rounds of it. Everyone, everyone good? Makes sense? So the primary the primary guesser for this one is gonna be Brandon. It'll go Brandon, Sarav, and Kevin. Okay? All right. So question number one. Sorry, round one is about physical facts and logistics. So statue so number one, how tall is the Oscar statuette in inches? The Oscar statuette is 21 inches. 21 inches. All right. Sorav, higher or lower? And you know what? When when you give me your answer, give me a a uh number and I'll assign bonus points if you get it exactly right.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:03

I'm gonna go lower and I'm gonna say it's 18 inches.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:06

Why do I feel like you guys are way off? It's lower and it's nine inches.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:10

All right. The correct answer is it's 13.5 inches. Uh designed by Cedric Gibbons, the knight holds a sword and stands on a film reel with five spokes representing the original branches of the academy. Actors, directors, producers, technicians, and writers. So because of that, uh so Brandon got no points, and Sarab and Kevin each got five points.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:34

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:35

All right. Does that make sense? It makes sense, but stupid. No, get it. All right. Question number two. Sarab is the primary guesser. How much does the official Oscar weigh in pounds? I'm gonna go 3.5. 3.5 pounds.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:49

All right. Uh Kevin, higher or lower? We're doing decimals or like we're doing like that. We're good like that? Sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:55

It doesn't matter what you guys. Um I'll tell you that the answer is a decimal.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:59

So all right, so that's good. All right, that makes sense. Um also all the questions are actually about Oscar, which is really funny. Um I say lower, 2.5. Brandon.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:11

I'm gonna go higher. I'm gonna say 4.2. Okay. The correct answer is that it weighs 8.5 pounds. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:20

What?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:20

Wow. So it is a solid bronze plated in 24 karat gold. It's heavy enough that winners like Emma Stone and Michael B. Jordan often use two hands to hold it. It's weird that AI named those two. These two meek ass people use. Wait, Michael B. Jordan's out here catching straight. Michael B. Jordan. Okay, so Sarav got five points, and Burr and uh Brandon got five points as well. All right. Question number three. Kevin is a primary guesser. How many feet long is the official red carpet at the Dolby Theater? Oh, we're getting there. We're we're ramping up. Don't worry.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:58

No concept of how long this carpet would be. Uh God damn it, Kevin.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:04

Be gay one day in your life. What'd you say? 200?

SPEAKER_08 1:02:08

250. I think that that's I don't think that that's a criteria for knowing the amount of feet of the red carpet. I think it is. I think you'd be surprised. All right.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:18

So you say 250 feet. 250. 250. 250. Okay, Brandon, higher or lower. I'm going lower. I'm gonna say it's 126 feet.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:26

I'm gonna go higher. I'm gonna say it's like uh 400.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:29

Correct answer. 900 feet. 900? Holy sh it is a custom-dyed Academy Red and takes a massive crew days to install for the walk to the Dolby Theater. Man. With that, Srav gets five and Kevin gets five. Currently, Brandon's at five points, Srav's at 15, Kevin's at 10. All right. Uh moving back to Brandon as a primary guesser. How many competitive award categories are presented in the 2026 ceremony? Srab probably knows this.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:56

Uh do you mean on television or like total categories that are given out in all the Oscars?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:01

I don't I don't know if that's if that's a different number or not. Just the okay. The answer is how many competitive award categories are presented in the 2026 ceremony? So I think that's the televised, is what I mean. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:14

Um so for that. I'm gonna say 12. So Rob, how are you lower?

SPEAKER_07 1:03:19

Uh I'm gonna go higher. I'm gonna say 17. Uh higher 16.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:25

The correct answer is 24. This is the first year for the best casting award, the first new category added since best animated feature in 2001. 24 categories. So Brandon got no points. Rob and Kevin both got five. All right. All right. Last question of round one. What is the estimated melt value of the gold plating on the statue in dollars? So, Rav primary guess.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:49

Okay. I know it's bronze, but it's the gold plating. Value. Um do like my beautiful mind math moment. Really?

SPEAKER_08 1:03:58

I'm really interested in this math. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:00

No, I mean it's like trying to do the surface area of it.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:04

Surface area, yeah. The current the current value of gold.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:07

An ounce of gold. Um I'm gonna go I'm gonna go 500. Brandon, higher, lower.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:16

I'm gonna go higher. I'm gonna say eight eight fifty. Kevin, uh lower, three fifty. Man. Correct answer, four hundred. You guys were you guys are really close. So Rav 5, Kevin five, Brandon Zero. All right. So round two is historic movie records. Primary guesser is gonna be Kevin. What is the all-time record for the most nominations for a single film? Most nominations for a single film. Uh 11. Brandon, higher or lower. I'm gonna say higher. 16. Sarav.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:48

I'm also gonna say higher. Uh, and I am also gonna say sixteen.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:52

Imagine we both nail it. That'd be wild. The correct answer is sixteen. Wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:57

Is it sinners?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:58

Is it sinners? No. Uh Ryan Kugler. Sorry. It's sinners.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:04

This one is. So Ryan. Kevin's thinking about Return of the King, which that was the record. And then Sinners beat it, but also there's new categories that are being nominated. So it's kind of like, is it apples to apples? I don't know. But anyways, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:17

So according to this one, uh, so Ryan Kugler's Sinners in 2025 broke the record of 14 previously shared by Titanic, all about Eve, and La La Land. You're right.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:28

No, Return of the King, Return of the King's record is one on the one.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:32

How many they won for all the ones they were nominated in? Yep. Okay, so I'm gonna give you guys each five points bonus for that. So Brandon and Sarav each got 10. Yep. Okay. Uh primary guesser, Brandon. What is the record for the most Oscar wins by a single film? I'm gonna say 11. If you are paying attention. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say 11.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:20

Why not? Okay. The correct answer. 11.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:24

Surprisingly.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:25

Damn, it's all right.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:26

We looked at we handed that to Brandon.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:30

I need to be talking about it. Can you guess the three movies that are tied to three? So Return of the King.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:42

Return of the King is one. You know, La La Land swept, and if they were nominated for that many, was La La Land one? Really? No. Return of the King. James Cameron.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:51

Titanic?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:51

Yep. It was one of them. And then uh give us an image about the other one. Is it old? I can't think of the actor in it. Um, I don't know. Chariot? I don't know if I'm thinking of the right one. Oh, um Ben Hurton? Ben Hur. Ben Her. Oh, Ben Hur. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:06

Yeah, I would not have gotten that. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:08

Yeah. Uh okay, cool. So uh Brandon got 10 points for that because his primary guess was correct. Um Brandon so Brandon's at 20. Sarav is at 35. And Kevin? 20. All right. So Sarav's up by 15. All right. Uh this is to Sarav. How many movies have won the big five? Picture, director, actor, actress, and screenplay. Ooh.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:36

Repeat the categories again.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:37

Picture, director, actor, actress, and screenplay. Two. Brandon, higher or lower. I'll go lower and say one. Lower and zero. Correct answer? Three. Only it happened one. It happened one night. One flew over the cuckoo's nest, and the silence of the lambs have achieved a sweep. It's actually it's impressive that there's that many.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:58

So I forgot about the first one you mentioned. I knew about Cuckoo's Nest and uh it happened one night.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:04

First, yeah, the last one was Silence of the Lambs. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um Yeah. Okay. Uh so Kevin. How many minutes long is the longest best picture winner ever? Minutes? Minutes. Minutes. Um I'll take it in, I'll take it in hours. Uh minutes. I'll give minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:26

Divide by 60. Uh 412 minutes. Okay. Now I gotta divide by sixty figure.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:35

Is that you did four hundred and twelve?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:41

Yes, a very high number. That is a very high number.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:43

Is that five?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:45

That is almost seven hours. That's six point eight hours. Six point nine hours. That's that's higher than I thought that was in my head.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:53

To be perfectly frank. Would you would you like to adjust?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:56

I think I want to say four hours and twelve minutes is what I want to go with.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:02

Okay, so what did you say? Four hours and twelve minutes. You're looking at 252 minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:06

Yeah, it's four hours and twelve minutes. Yes, is what I like.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:10

Four hours and twelve minutes. All right. That's actually probably closer. I I feel like it I don't know if this is. It might be Ben Hur. I feel like that's one of those like really long movies that may have won that. I'm gonna say lower, and I'm gonna say it was three hours and fifty-two minutes.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:25

Which is Rob? Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say higher, and I'm gonna say uh four hours and twenty minutes.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:34

Is it gone with the wind? Okay, the correct answer is two hundred and thirty-eight minutes, which is three hours and fifty-eight minutes. Whoa. Is it the guy by the way? Really fucking close? You were really close. Yeah, you're off you were off by six minutes. I was off by six minutes. Damn it. Gone with the wind in 1939 remains the longest, clocking in at nearly four hours. All right. So Brandon got five points and Kevin got five points.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:01

What's bonus points? What's the scores right now?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:04

Uh currently Brandon is at 25, Sarav is at 40, and Kevin is at 25. So Brandon and Kevin are tied, trailing by uh 15 points to Sarav. I had nailed that. All right. Brandon, primary guesser. How many minutes long is the shortest best picture winner ever?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:23

But I'm not guessing that one picture.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:25

102 minutes. Sarav, higher or lower.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:28

Lower. I'm gonna go 93 minutes. Lower and 11 minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:35

I'm going over film.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:37

I was gonna say 97 minutes. The correct answer is 90. Ooh, I know. The 1955 film Marty is the leanest winner. It is also one of the few to win the top prize I can. All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:50

Uh that's what happened. I got five points.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:54

Sarab and Kevin both got five. All right. Uh round three, the people. And Sarav is the primary guesser. What is the record for the most Oscars won by a single person in their lifetime? I should know this. Yeah, you're stupid if you don't.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:06

SPEAKER_05 1:11:08

Um I'm gonna go six. Okay. Brandon, higher or lower? I'm gonna say higher.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:16

I'm gonna say eight. I was also gonna say higher and eight. Correct answer 26.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:21

Holy smokes. Oh, wait, it's no, do you forget about producers? No, no, you forget about like producers and like these motherfuckers who like rack them up. This is someone that you guys will know.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:32

Is it an actor? Who? Or a director?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:34

No. Weinstein?

SPEAKER_08 1:11:36

Oh, oh, no. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:40

Walt Disney. Okay. That makes sense. Walt Disney holds holds this record. He's getting 22 competitive awards and four honorary ones. Oh, okay. That's wild, isn't it? That is wild, but it makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But we didn't say higher. We did. Did you did say hire? Yep. So Brandon and Kevin both have five. All right. I gotta I gotta make a new column here. Okay, so right now Brandon is at 30. Kevin is at 35. And Sarav is at 45. All right. Uh over to Kevin as the primary guesser. What is the record for the most acting nominations held by a single person? 10. Brandon, higher or lower. Higher. I'm gonna say 18. Sarav.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:29

Well, lower than Brandon. Uh I'm gonna go. Meryl Streep. I was thinking. That's what I was thinking. 14.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:36

So higher. 14. The correct answer is Meryl Streep with 21. 21.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:42

Jesus Christ. We had also talked about this not that long ago, but yeah. Anyway, sorry. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:48

The next closest is Jack Nicholson with 12. Wow. Like not even in the same ballpark as her. Which is pretty wild. Alright, so Brennan and Sarav both got five points.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:59

And I like Meryl Street, but you know, she's fine. Easier to do it that way. All right.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:04

Uh I I think she's kind of overrated, not gonna lie. Like, I'd never watched a Meryl Street movie and been like, oh man, that was awesome. Like, granted, she's she's talented, but I think you should tell it to her face.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:17

No. Meryl? If you're overrated, you don't deserve all those nominations. All right. Uh this is for Brandon. At what age did the oldest person ever win a competitive acting Oscar? Competitive acting. Is there a non-competitive acting category?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:33

At what age? I'm gonna say This was recent. 84. How close was I start? Higher, lower.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:40

Go go Kevin first. You can go me first, that's fine. I'm not gonna cheat, but you already go, Kevin. I'm just going how I have it in the sheet, but higher. Higher. And so not an honorary one, it's a competitive one, which is what I think the difference is.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:55

Oh, good call. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:57

93.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:58

I'm gonna go lower. I'm gonna go 81.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:00

Correct answer. 83.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:04

You guys are niffing around it. Who is it? Yeah. Is it Anthony Hopkins? Anthony Hopkins in 2021 for The Father, surpassing Christopher Plummer. How old is Christopher Plummer? 21. I don't know. Some some young buck at I think he won.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:24

I think he won for beginners, right? Like when he played the game.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:27

So I was thinking that, but I guess I just thought he was older than he is.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:30

No, but uh yeah, he must he he he's looked very old for a long time, so it must be that all right.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:36

So Brandon at 40, 55, Evan at 35. Uh Srav, primary guesser.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:42

Are you gonna tell us when we're like almost like at the end, just so we know the stakes? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good. This is I just don't want to like casually answer a question and not know that it's like the last one.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:53

SPEAKER_07 1:15:17

I went right to like Haley Steinfeld in True Grit, but yeah. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:23

SPEAKER_02 1:15:30

Whoa, whoa. Isn't it lower? No, sorry, Sarab was the primary guesser. You're right, you're right, you're right. Yep. Rigged. Rigged. My bad, my bad. Rigged. All right, so Sarab at 55, Brandon at 45, Kevin at 40.

I don't know. I don't have a better answer.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:59

All right, Brandon, higher or lower. I feel like it's probably some producer, so it'd be higher than Meryl Streep's 21. And I'm gonna say 34.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:12

Survive, higher or lower.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:13

I'm going higher. Um, we know it's gonna be higher. Stupid guess on my part.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:46

It's an all-time compiler. He's just a compiler. Just out there, just living seven decades, producing. But he's but he's got bangers in every one of them.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:57

We're going into the last round.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:14

Round four. There are five questions left. Sarab is at sixty. Brandon is at fifty. Kevin is at forty. All right. So Brandon, primary guesser. How many minutes did the very first Oscar ceremony in 1929 last? I'm gonna go 84.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:32

Kevin, higher or lower. Lower, 59. Sarab, higher or lower.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:35

I'm going higher. Uh I'm going 250. Holy shiza.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:40

Dancer. Correct answer. 15. It was a private dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt uh hotel. The winners were announced three months early.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:52

I don't know. I was I was thinking that there wasn't a telecast, so it was gonna be a longer thing, but I think it's not.

SPEAKER_00 1:17:59

Yep. So now with 45, they had a 15-minute dinner when they all just stuffed their faces?

SPEAKER_04 1:18:07

What happened?

unknown 1:18:09

That sucks.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:10

Man, I want to I want to hear a I think that I think that it was probably one of those things that like they had dinner first and they're like, now we're gonna do the Oscar ceremony. Yeah, you know, and that was like 15 minutes of like any questions? Does anyone disagree? It's probably just a line, everybody just going through, collecting their trophy, go home. Yeah, like I wonder how many categories are in there that uh yeah, right. You know, it's probably like five categories was it. Um all right. Uh so Srav 60, Brandon 55, Kevin 45. Sarav, primary guesser. How many actors have won an Oscar after they passed away? Seven. Kevin, higher or lower. Lower. Five. Brandon higher or lower. Higher. I'm gonna say nine. Correct answer. Two. Wow. Really? Peter Peter Finch in Network and Keith Ledger. Keith Ledger. Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight have been awarding acting Oscars posthumously.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:04

I really thought the guy from The Godfather who played Fredo, because he did like five movies and died, but I guess maybe he got his uh flowers while he was alive.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:13

Yeah, I also didn't know the other one I would have thought of was um uh Black Panther. I don't know. Chad Redick. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:21

I think he might have been I think he might have been nominated. I don't think he won. But he didn't win. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:27

Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:29

All right, we have three questions left. Uh Kevin, primary guesser. How many words are in the longest titled movie ever nominated for best picture?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:40

I have no concept of what movie this would be. I have no idea. Um I'm gonna say 10. Uh all right, ten. Uh Shrav, higher and lower.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:53

I'm gonna go lower. I'm gonna say eight.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:55

Brandon, higher or lower. Higher, 14. Correct answer, 13.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:00

Oh, come on!

SPEAKER_02 1:20:01

So close. Wait, did you say belong?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:05

Was it nominated or won? Was it the assassination of just oh, for best picture. Oh, never mind.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:09

Yeah. The record belongs to Doctor Strange Love or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bobs.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:17

God damn it. That is a very long title. I forgot about that. I was gonna I was gonna go with Birdman. Is that Birdman? There's a Michael Keaton movie called Birdman or, and then it's got a long yeah, all right. All right, what are the scores? What are the scores?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:39

All right. We got two questions left. Sarab, 65. Brandon, 60, Kevin, 55. Damn, I'm five. So we're all within 10 points. Jesus Christ. All right. Brandon, primary guesser. How many times in his how many times in history has there been an exact tie for an Oscar?

SPEAKER_07 1:20:56

What does that question mean what does that mean?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:58

How many times have there been co-winners of awards?

SPEAKER_07 1:21:02

Oh interesting.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:05

Uh and this is the last question. No, two questions. Two questions. I'm gonna go three. Sarav, higher or lower.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:10

I'm gonna go higher. I'm gonna say five.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:12

Lower one. One dollar, Bob. The correct answer.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:17

Six. Wow. The most famous was in 1969 when Barbara Streisand and Catherine Hepburn both won best actor. Alright. So with that, Sarav is up to 70. Brandon is at 65, and Kevin is at 55. Alright. God damn it. Last question. Sarav, primary guesser. Not great. Not great. Yeah, get this right, guess. What is the record? What is the record for the most times a single person has hosted the Oscars?

SPEAKER_01 1:21:49

Seven. Kevin, higher or lower. That is way higher than I thought we were going to go with that. So I'm going to say lower five. No pressure preppers. Brandon, higher or lower.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:58

So I actually think it's higher, but my only chance at tying Srav is if I go lower and he gets no points and I get five points. So I'm going to say lower six. But I actually think that somebody like Bob Hope or uh Johnny Carson probably hosted something like 12 or 14 times or something. Way, way longer.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:19

Correct answer Bob Hope. There it is. Hosted or co-hosted 19 times.

unknown 1:22:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:26

19 times. Should have trusted your gut. Man.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:31

I mean, it wouldn't have mattered, but. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to lose no matter what. So that gave Sarav 10 points. What were you saying, Kevin?

SPEAKER_01 1:22:40

It's only like 50 years old. You said the first television wasn't 79%?

SPEAKER_02 1:22:45

No, it just says the record for the most times a single person has hosted the Oscars.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:49

Yeah. So maybe not always on TV.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:50

And uh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:51

What you guys missed was the most times a single person. Like he was a bachelor. You guys were trying to think of married guys.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:01

The uh the tiebreaker question uh would have been including the winner of the very first ceremony, how many movies have won best picture in history?

SPEAKER_03 1:23:11

Well, if you said that the first one was 1920.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:16

If anyone if anyone if anyone gets this answer on the nose. I don't want to give you like all the points, whatever. Just guess it just guess it won't matter.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:23

119.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:25

Uh well, because there's wars in there, right? Do they not do them during various wars?

SPEAKER_08 1:23:29

There have been a few wars.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:31

Warship. We had a couple of wars. But for COVID, you know. It's been some of that COVID. 109. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say 116.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:45

Correct answer? 97. The 98th winner will be crowned March 15th. Man. Cool. Maybe. Yeah. All right. So final score, Sarav at 80 points, Brandon at 65, and Kevin at 55.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:57

Suck it.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:58

I think that in our overall series, I think now Brandon and Sarav have the same number of wins again, both at 2-2. And Kevin in last place was zero. Yeah, Kevin. Come on.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:09

I'm never coming back though. No way. Not after this.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:14

Well, I think uh I think that we forego the question of the week this week as we're uh you know, we're at probably one of our longest episodes yet.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:23

Um what if we did uh what if we did a quick one?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:25

Okay. Do you entire one?

SPEAKER_07 1:24:27

Yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:28

Perfect. Send it.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:29

Okay. If you guys were craving ice cream, what is the flavor or ice cream, whatever, what is the thing you go buy?

SPEAKER_03 1:24:38

I got this. What do you mean bag? What's your go-to? Oh, go buy?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:43

Yeah. Yeah. Uh Turkey Hill ice cream has this flavor called double dunker. It has like Oreo and cookie dough mixed into coffee ice cream and some like fudge in there too. What? It is delicious. It is by far my favorite ice cream. It's it's like the the only ice cream that I eat nowadays. It's so good.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:01

Wait, does describe it again?

SPEAKER_03 1:25:03

It's like coffee ice cream with uh like uh Oreo crumble and cookie dough, and has some like swirls of like chocolate, like fudge stuff. Like there's some chocolate swirl in there. Dude, it's it's it is highly recommended.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:19

Mine is mine is moose tracks.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:22

Easy. Love what's what's the branding in, or is it just you find a version of Moose Tracks wherever?

SPEAKER_02 1:25:28

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't really have a brand off the top of my head, but like the best ones are the ones with like the mini uh peanut butter uh uh uh cups in it. Um but that's what makes it. Uh yeah, that's by far my favorite.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:43

Kevin?

SPEAKER_07 1:25:43

Kevin, what do you got?

SPEAKER_01 1:25:44

Does it have to be ice cream? We're just saying like even that the question was.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:48

I think ice cream should be part of it. He didn't say that.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:50

I'm craven I go bubble cooking pizza, man.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:53

Go by I'm craving ice cream.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:56

I'm gonna get ice cream.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:57

I'm craving ice cream, I get a 40 ounce.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:03

What's your go-to ice cream? Question. Does he does the answer have to involve ice cream?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:12

If you're not if you're not an ice cream person, really, I'm I'm I will ignore that. No, I love ice cream.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:17

I love ice cream. Give me some stupid, so I'm gonna answer another question. A vanilla base, vanilla base with some caramel and like Reese's something in there, some wheat caramel and peanut butter, and some little bit of chocolate, something like that. It's good. Double donker is delicious. Basically mousetracks. Okay. Yeah, I like more caramel than the mousetracks. They have just the peer the peanut butter in there.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:40

Yeah. I was gonna say the reason I even thought of this question is because I cannot get over how much how long in my life now that peanut butter cup from Ben and Jerry's is still just like wildly consistent and wildly one of the things that like every time it hits, and I keep every time I get it, I'm like, maybe this is gonna be one of those things where I'm gonna be like, no, this is better when you were younger, but like it's doesn't hit the same. It hits the fucking same, dude. It is so goddamn good. The peanut butter ice cream, the giant like Reese's mini sized cups that they have in there, you gotta like fucking work your arm to dig out. Like, it's the best. Uh, but I was sitting there being like, I wonder what I'm losing by maybe not experimenting with other things. Uh, because right now, this is like far and away, you know, number one ice cream ranking in my life.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:35

So yeah. Yeah. I I love that this question came from the lactose intolerant person. Yeah, hey everyone, give me some ice cream ideas. I want to go blow it out later. It's honestly kind of how it works, though, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:27:48

It's like uh you don't know what you got till it's gone. And lactose for me, because I can, you know, take a pill and enjoy whatever dairy things I want to eat, like it becomes this thing where like when I do that, I think so much more. I have to be so much more intentional about when I consume dairy. So I would argue that I'm probably more thoughtful about what I like in the dairy world more than you guys are who might be, you know, eating out of a bag of shredded cheese at like two in the morning.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:16

I thought I thought you just I thought you just had tickets to a Chris Hardwick show and was like a get get get prepared to relive it.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:28

Man, I was also thinking because because you mentioned those Ben and Jerry's tubs, like now that they like I feel like those are perfectly engineered in terms of the size and the amount to have you eat the entire tub. Like there's small I've never pulled that off but you've never eaten a whole tub in one sitting I I feel like we used to in your basement. I feel like that's just what we did.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:48

We just got a tub that we would just eat that. Maybe if we did it as a kid I I don't remember. I will say like I don't think I have the capacity for that much sugar. I I hit a wall usually by like a third or almost a halfway in and like even when um yeah even when it's like mostly like candy in there and it's not even too many too much ice cream like I'm still just kind of like ah so anyways and I know what you mean that I feel like I eat a a a large enough portion that it's like the part that's left is maybe like a quarter.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:24

Yeah and I'm just like it's too depressing. Yeah I'm like eh I'm already here and like you know most of it is just like big chunks of peanut butter cup. Like if I eat one of those like it's basically gone anyways and then I just wound up just finishing the whole thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:35

But fair yeah I I used to my uh my my full pint ice cream days are probably probably over.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:42

That's uh I think it should be over for all of us honestly it should be it should be over that's that's I'll keep holding the mantle for all of us.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:52

Yeah, I'm gonna real minutes yeah yeah yeah I'll be the one with bubble guts at three in the morning and I'll take it for the team all right uh cool that's a good way to end it off great hosting uh please please bring us to the end of the show yeah wrap it up sign it off yeah how do you do that what's the uh how should I sign up to the end of one of these things how do we host out we just gotta stop I think I think you you're supposed to like curse at the listeners um and uh just you know tell them tell them fuck you also have to give uh an appropriate sign off to our one listener in Australia in their native is that a consistent accent we do this every time it's yeah because we have one listener so we always give an appropriate sign off in an Australian accent so that we can give homage to you should you should tell them how you feel about fosters.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:49

Yeah oh I do like those big 32 ounce fosters those are pretty good um all right alright hold on how am I gonna say this uh y'all want some ribs did I do it did I do it right
