Justin:Yes. and
Brent:yeah.
George:Oh shoot. What is this podcast about? This podcast is a podcast where we solve the world's problems and make you a little dumber in the process. What did you guys do this week?
Brent:I've had a busy week of playing music for drunk people that you know, don't necessarily. Give a shit.
Justin:Any fun stories this week? Any crazy characters come in
Brent:Yes. I actually the one thing I did remember to prepare ahead of time for this week was that I got the the two, two lies in a gig. Is that, I call it, oh yeah.
George:Lies in a gig is my favorite I think one episode in is my favorite and I was trying to think, Justin, I feel like you've probably got crazy road stories.
Justin:I, I have some pretty good road stories. Yeah, there's a lot of like over the years, just some
Brent:surreal nuts
Justin:stuff moments where going on right now? Like, where am I? How did I get Like, I remember one time we were doing this shoot and we were in Nicaragua and I'm floating in the ocean with this supermodel and this really big what's How did I get. How did I get here It's cool.
George:we are, shoot, what were y'all
Justin:We did this. We did this big photo spread for New York Times Magazine Kloss never, it's a small, it was a small publication, I don't know, but it was wild because we show up in, in the country and we're supposed to have all the, when you travel, when you're doing work, you have like fixers and stuff that help you get to the custom stuff. And it's always a pain in the we get there, oh, it's gonna be taken care of, gonna be taken care of. And they're like, nah, the
Brent:guy's not here.
Justin:guy went home, so you're gonna have to wait tomorrow. And we're like, no, we can't wait till tomorrow.'cause we're like going three hours away of where we're going. It's 10 o'clock at night. We have to leave here and we have to work tomorrow. Yeah. So we'll just have to leave all your gear here. No problem. We just have to figure it out. And we're like. So we show up, we drive through the jungles of Nicaragua and we show up and we get there and they're like, oh, so what happened? And we're like, it. So the next day we wake up and we have to like this whole big turn to my buddy. And I was like, it's like we're all about bouncing light and shaping light and moving light. And so I just like. Ripped the mirror off of our
Brent:bathroom
Justin:hotel room and just put some color gel on there and then we're just light. We ended up lighting with a mirror that I ripped off the bathroom wall, and the next day when the gear showed up. like we already lit the whole half one day with a mirror. We might as well just keep going. So it's just picture us running
Brent:through the jungles with like machetes on and
Justin:holding this little like two by two, actually probably three by three mirror
Brent:with some
Justin:orange gel on it. And then I remember at like dusk were like
Brent:walking like the tide pools shot and the water's coming
Justin:in and it like took me out, like a wave took me out. And I remember
Brent:sweeping
Justin:I was like, I gotta save the mirror.
Brent:I gotta save the beer. It's all we got. And I'm like under water.
Justin:And the wave took me out. I'm holding the mirror
Brent:above my head, just ah, save it. My buddy comes and grabs
Justin:the mirror and then he gets taken out as well. And it was just like this comical, this comedy of errors of trying to save this mirror'cause it was all we have in the middle of the jungle.
Brent:I think that's a story that actually it almost it's crazy that's a reality.'cause it sounds like me describing a dream to somebody like us
George:say, and then I was trying to save the mirror. Okay
Justin:it was all
Brent:about the mirror,
George:mirror. Yeah, but we had, so we were delayed and there was no fixer there and okay, you have to imagine in my dream fixer was like a real thing. It was like
Brent:a real,
George:job. Somebody
Justin:someone got paid to fix and they didn't fix.
George:So there I am floating in this. Ocean in Nicaragua with a supermodel,
Justin:but also there was a, apparently that's where all the sharks are too, so you had the shark get, bit
George:I can't wait to hear the other two that are the
Brent:tru.
George:ones the false ones. Are you doing the bit right now? That's a crazy
Justin:We will keep the crazy stories coming.
George:I feel like I don't even know if we've introed like what you do. So you do.
Justin:I am a, I don't know. I'm a monkey that pushes buttons. No, I'm a commercial director, we do a little bit of everything. Had a 20 years of telling stories and going on crazy
George:Ah, you're a storyteller.
Justin:I'm a storyteller. I'm here to
George:I'm a cinematographer, but really am a story. I really am a storyteller. What
Brent:really a
Justin:storyteller. Guys. I just like to some tall
George:Yeah. I love it. What a weaver. Dude why isn't that a segment? I just wanna hear more about,
Justin:about, weaving.
George:about Yeah. I was like, you told that story. I wrote down like what happened to me this week, and I'll tell you what it was I broke two glasses in my kitchen
Justin:Were they like family heirloom glasses or were they
George:No, they were like, I don't know. I don't, Aaron got them so they were from somewhere. Not a place that I would shop. yeah. Is
Justin:it rhymes with makia
George:maybe. No, I don't know. But like I broke two of the same glass, so like now I'm afraid to drink out of those glasses.
Justin:You shouldn't touch
George:em. I'm not gonna touch'em. she didn't make a big deal about it, but I was like drinking from like an aluminum cup. Like I got these, I'm a, I'm a child like, so I got myself these aluminum cups and aluminum plates so that I could safely eat. Without. Because Erin just has her, like
Brent:you're you're telling me, you, you break so many glasses on such a regular occurrence that you have gone about getting specific flatware that you cannot
George:Yep. So we went because I run a food company. So like we go to a lot of these like food. Like food service and like food wholesale stores. And so like we were at, there's a really nice restaurant depot here in Austin. Don't know if you've ever been, you gotta have a
Justin:I love a Restaurant Depot. Yeah. I like a good
George:So we went,
Brent:what l? Restaurant Depot. Depot. Oh, I thought I heard an L in front of that
Justin:have an L. It sounds it's a
Brent:L. Restaurant Depot.
George:Yeah. Spanish
Justin:for the Restaurant Depot.
George:I don't know why that got me for this, but, so it's got all this like restaurant focused stuff and we were there one time looking for stuff like for work and there's a section they have kind of sections by type of. Restaurant. And so there's like a pizza restaurant section, and the pizza restaurant section had all these like different sized like pizza pans you get like an aluminum pizza pan at a pizza
Brent:Oh sure.
George:And they've got like ones that are plate sized. And so I just got myself like, I don't know, I've got maybe five or seven of those. That I bought and that I was like I can eat on these and I can drop'em and I can't break'em. And I got aluminum cups at the same time. Thanks. steal this hack
Justin:steal this hack. That's like we I mean we stopped, we gave up. I got three, three kids and like we gave up buying anything nice.'Cause they're gonna break everything so everything's 50 cents from Ikea or,'cause we're Austin based. Go Yeti, get everything Yeti that will bounce off the ground and not break. That is,
Brent:that's the, yeah. As a 41-year-old married guy with no kids, literally can't tell you. The last time a dish of any kind was broken.
Justin:Oh, I think my wife breaks more cups and dishes than my kids though at this
George:I was like, so a couple of weeks ago.'cause like Aaron was. Digging. She was doing some gardening. She'd probably be mad that I told this story, but she was doing some gardening and like really, there's like an irrigation line that runs through and she just smashed this PVC pipe, and so it was like leaking all over the place. So I was like. I was trying to fix this thing and I was like, okay, I am not gonna give her any shit about it.'cause like she told me about it and she felt, she was like, felt really bad about it and I was like, I'm gonna be so cool about it and then I'm gonna really have I'm gonna have one in the bank. You know what I mean? I'm gonna have one in the bank about i'm gonna do something or break something
Brent:you get to pull this back
George:And then I could be like, Hey, remember? Yeah remember like how cool I was about like when you broke that pipe. And then I had to spend all weekend figuring out how to fix a PVC pipe. And I was so cool about it. And literally like the next day I break two glasses and I'm like I was like, I told her, I was like, I told her, I was like, man, I was looking. I was so looking forward to holding onto that. For a little while and I just have to like, I had to spend it immediately. She was like can't take it with you, so
Justin:what an idiot.
George:What an idiot. Yes. Anyway, that was my week Also, I watched, I watched Rewatched The Jerk with Steve Martin
Justin:Ooh,
Brent:You know what's funny? I've never actually seen it.
Justin:What a jerk.
Brent:Sure. It's one of the old time classics. And I love Steve Martin and somehow
George:It's
Brent:haven't actually, it's a funny it
Justin:in a while. Does it still hold up,
George:it holds up, yeah. I mean it's, I it's like clearly an old movie, but like Steve Martin has, it is like timeless comedy. I like if don't try to rewatch Austin Powers today. it doesn't
Justin:Yeah,
Brent:will fight you. Alright. Really? Austin Powers. I love Austin Powers.
George:It's I don't know. I was obsessed with Austin Powers when it first came out, and it was like, I feel like all that stuff has been so like It's like I, it's I can't, you can't do, that's what she said, jokes anymore. They're still, it's still they're funny, but,
Justin:or
Brent:I, think I still constantly pull references from Austin Bowers, myself.
Justin:Fun fact frow Line is a done work with her and I love Mindy. She did some projects Shout out
George:Shout out. Shout out. to Mindy. Shout out to
Justin:Shout out to
Brent:Mindy Frow. You look so right.
George:Good. What? Let's get more quote, let, I mean if you can just like pepper in some like Austin Power's references.
Brent:I think probably one of my most used one is that whenever someone is making a point that's very obvious, then I like to ask them, what's your point, Vanessa?
George:I said peppermint. I feel like you just came right out.
Justin:Yeah. You should just drop throughout this whole podcast today. You should just drop them in
Brent:I think of Pepper as a very upfront part of the dish, so
Justin:can we get some laser
Brent:beans?
George:Okay. This feels, it feels pretty heavy on the pepper right now, guys. Yeah.
Justin:Yeah, baby.
George:yeah. Oh, there it is. I guess you do if you're having a meal, you do the pepper first.
Brent:Yeah.
George:So I, that was me. I, that was my fuck up. My bad.
Brent:You're pretty intertwined with peppers for a living yourself.
George:true.
Justin:You just got peppers on the brain. I could you write like a song like George on my mind, but peppers on my mind.
George:Did you, sorry, did you say Florida, Georgia
Brent:Yeah.
Justin:Ding ding.
Brent:Hey, that's the name of this podcast.
George:the name of this. podcast. No guys, we have to name this fucking podcast I should've
Justin:mentioned the Irreverent podcast. I
George:should've mentioned Up Top. This is a podcast for adults. So
Justin:the mediocre podcast
George:we have that. I'm gonna go through, do you guys wanna name the podcast now or do you wanna give some advice to the internet first?
Brent:What I, you got me curious on your thoughts of the podcast
George:I was just gonna read you, so let me read you let me read you this list that we came up with last
Justin:we need a focus group? This name? Should we farm it out to the people?
George:no.'cause we don't, nobody listens to this. So really are.
Justin:we should just farm it out to Erin and see what Erin says
George:We're really on our own. I don't know if she knows what it is we're doing.'cause she would ask me, what is it about? And I'm gonna ask you guys that. I think it's pretty squarely a podcast for adults, right? Yeah. it's like an adult.
Brent:that wouldn't be the worst name I ever heard.
George:podcast for adults. God. I'm gonna write it on the fucking list.'cause I like that
Brent:George
Justin:likes'em as dumb as possible.
George:I like him. Just real dumb. Yeah.
Brent:But surely that's not taken. It's too dumb for anybody to take. So maybe we could
Justin:The dumb podcast. the
George:The dumb podcast. We've got the, let me read you the list.
Brent:that one's taken for sure.
Justin:by listening to this podcast. You will get dumber.
Brent:Yeah,
George:think people will get dumber, but they'll get dumber about important stuff and smarter about stupider stuff. Like I really want people to get smarter about stuff that's has no bearing on like their real Whatever that here's ideas from last week. I didn't write down who said these, so I was trying to remember when I was looking at it like who said which idea? Dumb ideas. The podcast.
Brent:first. I think, didn't we just say that
Justin:think we just said that
George:dumb podcast.
Brent:Oh, the dumb podcast. We didn't even realize we came up with it
George:Yeah, we came
Justin:how dumb it is. That's how dumb it is that we have to come up it. Not once, not twice, but let's go for
George:it guys. I'm gonna make a note that we just keep coming back
Brent:to dumb.
George:We just keep re, re referencing dumb. I wrote down George Cast. I feel like maybe I just, maybe we didn't even say that out loud and I just added
Brent:it. No, that's, that was me that said that.'cause I've been calling it that and we'll continue to call it that. Regardless, George Cast, regardless of what it's actually called.
George:Okay. George Kes we,
Justin:mad at
George:we wrote down unsolicited advice. I think that leans a little,
Brent:too
Justin:on one thing. We do
George:heavy on advice. It's not really, we're not really We are, but, okay. Are we scratching that? Do we wanna scratch that
Justin:we
George:Okay. How I'm gonna wait. Should I strike through or mark as red or mark in red? Beautiful. Uh, we wrote, uh, we wrote down podcasts, the podcast. Podcast. I gotta look it up to see if that really exists.
Brent:exists. May maybe I don't know what
Justin:not another
Brent:the
George:Oh, there's a guys, there's a show called The Podcast, which is a comedy show. And it says, two idiots fail to make a podcast, one episode at a time. So the same concept, right? They're idiots
Brent:Maybe we'll just ask him if we can have theirs.
George:Let's ask'em if we can have theirs. Okay, we're gonna keep it on the list. Maybe for now. We gotta decide today though. Deep thoughts. The podcasts,
Justin:We do go into deep thoughts, so
George:I don't love it. I don't remember
Brent:if we could get
Justin:could be no deep thoughts. Should be a segment that we talk
Brent:we could get it sponsored by an insect repellent and we could call it deep thoughts.
Justin:Ooh,
Brent:See
George:duh. That's pretty
Justin:good. Don't bring that poison over here.
George:We could get it sponsored by Kamala Harris and call it Veep. Thoughts.
Brent:Hey. Oh
George:You got one? Justin?
Justin:What's that?
George:We could get it.
Justin:Weed thoughts.
George:thoughts.
Brent:That's gotta be a title already, right?
George:I wish we were doing video. I
Justin:because I got high. The Thoughts When I was
George:Thoughts when I was high. We wrote down Veto. Veto. This podcast. I think it's'cause we said something else that we
Brent:vetoed. could be and then
George:vetoed this podcast. I like
Brent:that one's got a nice ring to it. It does. You know that one's got a.
George:let's look it up. I'll look it up. Don't worry guys. Veto this podcast. It, this is Open Guys Veto. This podcast is available. Hi. Let's pray on it. Let's think
Justin:Let's pray Let's pray on it. What do
George:do we think
Justin:we're gonna pray on this.
Brent:this
George:What do we think about veto this podcast.
Justin:It's not bad.
Brent:Wait we're saying it like slash not like an Italian gentleman's name.
George:Veto this
Brent:podcast.
Justin:Veto cor leoni.
Brent:Corto.
George:this Pi. I'm not gonna do my
Justin:I came to you on
George:Oh, you're
Justin:my daughter's wedding. This is how you were paying me.
George:Yeah. Okay. Veto this podcast or veto this podcast. I like veto this podcast.
Brent:throw a D in there? Now we got all kinds of extra options going.
Justin:Beto, deto,
Brent:That doesn't even make any sense.
George:Do you guys remember that friends episode where they're trying to name, they're trying to name somebody's baby. They kept saying veto and they were like, veto's actually starting to sound pretty good right now.
Justin:It's like you say it long enough, all of a sudden it's oh
George:veto this podcast. I love because it does make it sound like it's pretty dumb,
Justin:But what are we vetoing?
George:I don't know.
Brent:I think it's just giving a fair warning ahead of time that like, hey. There's other podcasts. Maybe you should listen to those. But here's another one.
George:here's the, here.
Justin:we're a bunch of idiots in an imperfect world, so come on down.
George:I feel like, okay, I love it. I love Vito, But here's the thing. Here's the thing is I feel like vi, I feel like Vito is a little, it's a little politically
Brent:It does have that connotation. We don't want that.
Justin:Let's just call it Gerrymandering,
George:Gerrymandering. The
Brent:The
George:the podcast
Justin:We're gonna change this podcast name in 10 years or not.
George:I feel like that would be a really good name, especially if we had if we came up with a mechanic in the show where we could veto things, if that was what we were doing. If I could like
Brent:Actually, I kinda like that. Like maybe part of our thing is like we did last time, that we'll just, everybody just throw out an idea for a segment and then if the other two don't care for that segment, we just describe
George:You can veto it.
Brent:somebody can podcast
Justin:the segment
George:I like that.
Brent:I like that we like, like for example, I think we should do a segment about the artistic merits of two girls, one cup. Okay,
George:Let's try
Brent:No, this is where you're supposed to say, I
George:would say, Hey
Justin:But that's funny because that's a whole, that was like a whole cultural
Brent:movement.
George:like nineties kids
Justin:Yeah. If you don't know now,
Brent:that would still, the veto thing would, it would make sense in that
George:Can I tell you though that, like that's the most interesting part of that video going viral to me was that they had, that was the first reaction videos that I ever remember seeing. guys remember? I feel like it was all, it was. I feel like it was all YouTube, but it was literally just if you don't know two girls, one cup, please don't look it up. Please
Justin:And you looked at you couldn't, not everyone was like, you gotta see this video. And then they showed it to you and you're like,
Brent:why you show me that? Wanna see that
George:There was a whole there was a whole set like segment of videos that came
Brent:Oh, of just people watching it? Just their reaction. Yeah.
George:was like, it was all like dorm. This is like from my college dorm or something. Not mine, but like they would have a
Justin:Did you make that, George? Were you the filming of that?
George:I had nothing to do with
Brent:with, no, I think what George is saying is that art at its core aims for a reaction. And this was the, yeah,
George:Vi. Hey veto. Veto,
Justin:was saying
George:veto. Okay. I'm in. I'm into it. Veto. This podcast is a strong front runner for me right
Brent:now. Happy too.
George:Okay. The next one I wrote down was, you're not the boss of me. Kind of tepid reaction right there. I feel like that doesn't need
Justin:will strike that from the
Brent:please.
George:strike it from the record. Should I get
Justin:We're gonna veto that one right now.
Brent:Veto,
George:I wrote down missed connections, I think,'cause we did a segment about missed connections, but I don't know if that segment's gonna live on,
Justin:that doesn't speak to the,
Brent:the
George:it really, it's really narrow.
Brent:It's very narrow.
George:Pretty narrow. And
Brent:And we are broad.
George:super broad
Justin:we're not missing connections here. We're like connecting
Brent:on the real. We're creating them.
George:So what do we think guys? Veto.
Brent:veto,
George:So stupid. Okay. I'm making it red. I'm making it super red. We wrote
Brent:you know which one make green though, obviously.
George:I know. Look, I'm gonna reserve judgment.
Justin:George Cast.
George:George Cast
Brent:Ca.
George:our George Cast is highlighted right now. We did a couple that were like, where the where the acronym was SOS. We did, we put segments on segments and save our segments.'cause we were like, we're gonna do segments.
Brent:That's right. Yeah. I think a yellow too. Then let's keep it in the, maybe a yellow is a yellow a possible.
Justin:Yeah, possible.
George:Oh man. I'm trying to come out with yeses or nos. I don't want any
Brent:Oh, okay. Fair.
George:We got time. We got time.
Brent:But if, what if we narrow it down now to a bucket of, say, three or four yeses that will go on and do the rest of the stuff, and then we'll pick from those four. At the end.
George:at the end? Okay.
Justin:Yes.
George:Yes. Fair enough. Okay. Segments on segments, do we like talking about segments?'cause I feel like if we're gonna do segments, I just like having a veto for this. it's gonna be about segments. It's veto the podcast. I'm gonna stop saying veto the podcast. I don't wanna I don't wanna stick it in your brain.
Justin:You're sticking it in my crawl,
George:I'm sticking it in my
Brent:my, your worm. I'm only feeling like I've had a successful inception then because I felt like I was subtly sticking it in your brain and then now you think it's putting in my brain.
George:Did you, who wrote, who said that one last week when we did it? Who said it?
Justin:Veto, maybe it was just a collective in the air.
George:I think it was just a reaction to something else.
Brent:God
Justin:was ai. It was ai.
George:do you think our Lord, and you think our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wrote it
Justin:You
George:I'm I'm tepid on talking about segments. Like it just feels a little like in the, the, sauce
Brent:Okay, fair enough. Would you say or ditch them, say in sauce? Veto that one too.
George:Yeah. Vito.
Justin:Veto it.
George:There's gotta be a limit to the
Justin:Strike it from the record.
George:We we can, we haven't,
Brent:otherwise our podcast ends up being like a five minute podcast where three ideas are thrown out there. Veto. Okay guys. So that's it for
George:right. That's it. Gonna go ahead and wrap it up. We wrote down mediocrity, the podcast that was also based on a segment, but I like it
Justin:feels funny to me because it feels we're making fun of. That this is not a great podcast and we're just
Brent:having fun. Yeah. I say put that one in one of the yes piles for you. Yeah. So were we sitting on the yeses? Let's do review real quick. We've got. V
Justin:the George Cast?
Brent:Cast
George:George. Wait, are we serious about George Cast?
Brent:are we not?
George:not? Hold on, I gotta hold up. We're
Justin:serious here. I didn't think this podcast was serious.
George:gotta find the right green. Let me find the right green. This is gonna be great. For the audio
Justin:need a segment called Name George's Stash.
George:Me. I'm thinking of mediocrity. For some reason I'm thinking of mediocrity as a.
Justin:Idiocracy. Mediocrity, it lends itself to just life right now.
George:I've got, so I've got, here's what I've got. George Cast, which is also growing on me. It is growing on that part of my ego that wants to be, that wants my name to be said as many times as possible before I die.
Brent:Sure.
Justin:George. George.
George:Here's, there's a few, there's a few that we don't have that we don't have as green or red dumb ideas. The podcasts. Vito,
Brent:I, yeah. I would expect that to be something different. Mediocrity
Justin:instead.
George:Dumb ideas. Feels like that's the point of the podcast is that we're just pitching dumb
Brent:Yeah that's what I'm saying. It gives me a different idea of what I expect it to be.
George:Sure, yeah. Unsolicited advice. Unsolicited advice. I already Xed out Podcast. The podcast, I think because there's already the podcast.
Brent:podcast, yeah. I don't even think we can legally,
Justin:Yeah.
George:We're gonna exit out deep Thoughts the podcast. It's we have it
Brent:I
Justin:we do that as a segment instead. I think we have
Brent:yeah. We have a deep thought,
Justin:thoughts of the day from the ai. Yeah, it
George:like a nightmare.
Brent:I
Justin:know.
George:I know.
Justin:It's coming
George:you, John Vita, this podcast is clearly in the yes pile. You're not the boss of me. We asked missed can connections. We axed. We axed segments on segments and save our segments. And then we've got green as mediocrity. Now the last one that we've got on the list, I think that I put on the list without anybody else's permission. So
Brent:the reaction.
George:I opened the podcast with this, but how do we feel about Florida, Georgia Line? The podcast. Podcast.
Justin:I think we're running some copyright issues with that.
Brent:Yeah. They might not like
George:the, but I'm saying it
Justin:how about can we, how about instead, why don't we just, since it's like creative licensing, why don't we just do like Florida, Alabama line.
George:Vito
Justin:the Gulf Co coast
George:Here's what here's what I'm saying is like there's a certain amount of, there's a certain amount of crews by Florida Georgia Line that we could play without getting sued. Yes.
Brent:Yeah. I Is it like two seconds or something? It's,
George:I don't know how much it is, but there's an amount of that song, like there's a two second or whatever it
Brent:call it two seconds just for,
George:there's a two second snippet of Florida, Georgia Line. Do we think there's a two second snippet of Florida Georgia Line? First of all, that I could play like the song
Justin:go Cruise
George:baby. You have a song, right? That's two seconds.
Brent:but I wonder, you're not limited to how many times in a row you can play.
George:you can play that two
Brent:can only,
Justin:play, but what is it with music or like how like. How do you, can you use the song or like the chord progression without it being copyright
George:printed? It's 12 notes. It's 12 consecutive
Brent:something
Justin:because we get, we're gonna get into territory with like vanilla ice where he is I didn't steal the song. He was like, instead of. I,
Brent:just,
George:I feel like you just did the same thing.
Justin:that's what he did. I don't know. It's like under pressure is the same damn thing. Like when he said that, I was like, bro, you just said the same exact thing. You just went a little higher in the didn. It.
Brent:No.
George:Hold on. I'm trying to look up.
Justin:we just harmonize right
George:Wow, guys, we got that clean. That's our
Brent:opening.
George:That's the opening. That's the opening sign. I'm gonna pull it.
Brent:Didn't expect you to jump to the fifth though, and leave me with a third. That was a thing, feeling
Justin:I was feeling it. Perfect.
George:That's our intro music
Brent:fist. I'm
George:pull it out. I
Justin:a boy band.
George:didn't even, it's a man band. I'm trying to look up how many, okay. Florida, Georgia line. If, here's what I'm saying is could we push into the territory of. We're not violating, but we're as close as we can get.
Justin:Or do you just have to say FG line?
George:What if we took some letters out?
Justin:What about, but then you can't sell merch, man. It's all about the merch.
George:if we call, what if it's the
Brent:what if we veto? What if we veto
Justin:There's summons.
George:Are you vetoing the idea?
Brent:I would never, you sound very excited about No,
George:it's okay. We
Justin:dreamt about it all week and we just crushed his
George:I didn't dream it all week.
Justin:He's Hey guys, check out my logo I already designed.
Brent:That was a pretty good George impression. I
Justin:think so.
George:There's no, so
Justin:hey guys, do you wanna see the logo I,
George:I, it says on here that there's, that if we play any amount of it on a podcast. That it's copyright infringement if we
Brent:Any amount. So
Justin:we're vetoing Florida Charger line. so
Brent:like that song is in B Flat, so if we pay play a B flat, we're on their infringement. That's an amount I play an A. That's an amount of it.
George:Is that song in B Flat? Huh. I would've guessed it was in D.
Brent:No.
George:Nope. Okay, well I guess I'm gonna veto Florida, Georgia line. So we're gonna wait. I wrote down here, I also wrote down two from this week, and I think only one of them is real. I just wrote down the word dumb. Okay. That's just giving a read. That
Brent:I thought you were going somewhere else. We were still waiting Where? Go on.
Justin:no.
George:start, I think we started talking about something else. Anyway. We also wrote down podcast or I wrote down podcasts for adults.
Brent:That one's solid.
George:like podcasts for
Brent:personally would put that, I'm gonna make say that would be my other favorite besides VI two it's like
Justin:Swim. How do we make it like Adult Swim, but Pod Adult Podcast.
George:Adult Swim, the podcast?
Brent:No, definitely
Justin:How about Barton Springs? The podcast.
George:Okay. We are, we're in Austin. We
Justin:cold and refreshing.
George:It would be cool to let people know up top like how much cooler we are than them, which I feel like Austin
Justin:We're definitely cooler than
George:So Cool.
Justin:If you're not in Austin, you're not
George:If you're not an Austin middle-aged dude making a podcast, who are you? This podcast, is this podcast brought to you by crypto things and ai?
Brent:That's right.
Justin:Yeah.
George:So I feel podcast for adults opens up the this is what
Brent:I was the pornography
Justin:George's obsession with two girl, one
George:it's not an obsession. It's not an obsession. I just thought it was interesting that like reaction videos are a big thing now and like back in my day, just remember that being the first time that,
Brent:yeah. I can't
George:that I noticed that. I was like that. I was like, now we're just watching people's reactions to watching a video like you and the reaction videos, to be very clear, it wasn't like a stitch or whatever today where you show the actual video you're reacting to. It was literally just, people.
Brent:well, but also because you couldn't show the source
George:Yeah absolutely. Absolutely.
Brent:That's, and because anybody that had seen it knew from their reaction exactly what they were looking at the exact moment, the horrified
Justin:What if we had memes back then? That would've been awesome. There would've been so many good memes for
George:was the first meme? Was the first meme Dancing Was that a meme? It was a meme, right? I don't even know
Justin:Was it, I don't know. It's a, I don't
George:I don't think I could define the word
Brent:meme. Yeah, that would actually, that'd be an interesting subject matter for a documentary to try to trace.'Cause there would it
Justin:The meme?
Brent:the meme? Yeah. Because it'd be a very gray area of what do you really consider a meme? And like trying to figure out the origins of that. That'd be kinda cool. Alright,
George:I'm loving it. I'm loving this.
Justin:That's copyright infringement from McDonald's. it
George:It feels though, it feels like vito's starting to feel like the opposite of Yes and right. It
Brent:Yeah. Oh, for sure. No, I don't think that it should be used to shut down a thing in progress, but maybe just whenever a segment's being introduced, if the other two genuinely believe that, that's not gonna be that interesting to dive into. Let me just veto it.
George:I feel
Brent:or I think it could make someone also push the envelopes. No, I'm gonna throw one out there that's too ridiculous to go, just to see if everybody would be to it, or if we had jumped into
George:I feel like already slightly drunk with power, just with the vi, like the ability to veto Like makes me drunk with power.
Brent:And I
George:like that. But I think it's dangerous. That's what I'm saying.
Justin:I like it All
George:What I was gonna say is podcast for adults opens up the, it opens up the porn world and it also, I think, lets us just come up with names. That would be like a search term, like I might search like comedy podcasts, or you could search podcasts for adults and it would literally just be a
Brent:podcast. It'd be a category
George:podcasts for adults.
Brent:Maybe we need to get more specific podcast for adult humans.
George:Okay. Podcast for adult
Brent:humans. Maybe a little more specific
George:adult humans. Okay, cool. Is there anything else in the category world podcast for Advice Time Pod? No, it's not. Advice
Brent:How about
Justin:three dudes? One, Mike?
George:Wow. I don't hate it, but I
Justin:because all I need is one mic. one mic.
George:I feel like we would have to do it with one mic. We'd all just have to gather
Justin:We don't have, we're not filming this. Don't let them know that we're not sharing
George:The quality of the
Brent:audience. We could also grow out a mustache i'll some shaving. I grow out a mustache. No. Hear me out. Hear me out. You do it. And then we all use the one mic, but we touch mustaches while we record the, and you
Justin:Who wants to go for a mustache
Brent:We'll make a mustache ring
George:You're acting like we're all not touching mustaches right now. Stop tickling my nose with your mustache, Brent. Sorry. Quit it.
Brent:Much trim.
George:I don't know. Podcast for adults. I'm liking it less and less
Brent:even with humans. What about adult humans who like podcast for adult humans who enjoy podcasts?
George:that's great. I love that. I wanna really specifically figure out our demographic before we've even got anybody
Justin:over 65 for sure. Over 65. That's like our sweet spot. Hi mom.
George:My mom
Justin:I said hi to your mom when I was driving through Alabama. she, screamed out. I was going by really fast and I was like, happy birthday.
George:and She did hear you. She told me. Guys, we gotta take a break. We gotta take a break. We gotta take a break guys, we gotta take a break. We gotta take a break and hear a word from our sponsors. Because otherwise, how are we gonna fund this thing? How are we gonna fund our, uh, extravagant lifestyles? But we'll be right back. Uh, we're gonna do some we're gonna do some advice. We're gonna answer some questions, and we are gonna come up with a name for, uh, Florida, Georgia Line, the podcast And welcome back. We hope you enjoyed those messages and by everything that we talked about. It's because
Brent:the
George:yeah, it's probably the best stuff. Guys, I want to answer the world's questions and solve the world's problems right now, right here.
Justin:We can do it. I believe in us
George:in this room today. I'm excited.
Brent:I'm excited.
George:Fourth width, and here we go. I pulled most of these from the advice subreddit. On Reddit. There's some really great stuff on there. There's also a lot of stuff on there that just I don't want to touch. So let me read you some of the titles of some of those first before I tell you. The ones that I actually brought Dr. Light on chart, moving out of state without job. Okay. Yeah, it'd be better if you had one. We just do quick advice for these. Just read the title. How do I tell my husband's affair partner's husband, the baby she's pregnant with might not be his. Did you follow that?
Brent:I think you might have to hit me with it one more time.
Justin:stuff right now. Like my baby's husband, cousin's mother, sister
George:I got, I came up with a quick answer for that one. Don't worry about it.
Justin:Call it, we call that an NMP, not my
George:problem. Probably not. Yeah. Probably not. Your job sounds like you got other stuff to deal with. Let's see. How do you get your, how do you get your man to want to have sex with you more? My wife is still not that kind of open like I want her, dunno what that means. Anyway. It's a lot of shit like that I'm not gonna put in this podcast. Here's the stuff I am gonna put in the podcast. So this is a segment that I like to call, give advice to the internet.
Justin:Ah,
George:thanks. Here's question number one, guys. Get ready to tuck in. Did I mess up by ordering food when my friend's uncle only got coffee? Let me read you this whole one. So today I went out with my best friend to finish some paperwork for her upcoming flight while waiting. She met her uncle. They're not super close, just see each other once a year for this stuff. He's really nice and offered to take us to a cafe while we waited for her papers. Here's the thing, when we got there, my friend ordered food. I ordered food too, and her uncle only ordered a coffee. I instantly felt awkward because I knew he'd be paying. It's just the dynamic. And I couldn't help feeling like maybe he expected us to only order drinks, not full meals, and the place was pricey, which added to my guilt spiral. He didn't say anything or act rude, but I think he looked a little annoyed. Or maybe that's just his normal face. I don't know. Now I'm overthinking. Should I offer to pay? Was it rude to assume he'd cover everything when he only got coffee
Justin:first? You got way too much time on your hands. If you, this is what you're thinking about and you're writing it on the internet.
George:I feel like that could be the answer to probably most of
Justin:Maybe you're but I feel like no, if your friend is like ordering food, you're following your friends thing. You didn't order like the lobster.
George:It doesn't say they didn't order the lobster.
Justin:Even if you do, someone else says that's on them.
Brent:It also says, if I heard it correctly, that they ordered food and then the coffee was ordered, how could she have known what he was going to order? There's, so no, if nobody told her anything specifically about we're getting coffee and you sit down, it's a reasonable assumption to think that you're entitled to a meal at a restaurant. That's what they're for, right?
George:It is what they're for. I will say the reason that I picked this one is because. I have this specific anxiety and I also like if I took you to a cafe and I was like, it doesn't say, he says order whatever you want, but it does say that, let's say he's really nice and offered to take us to a cafe. So if I'm like, Hey, let's go to this cafe. If I say that to you, I'm assuming that like I'm probably gonna pay for you to. You didn't suggest going to the cafe. It doesn't say he asked, do you want to go to the cafe? But if I were the, if I were the person who ordered food and then the person taking me just ordered coffee, I would have this same spiral in my head where I was like, where I was like, did I, should I offer to pay for it? What's the right social it fee? Because it does feel to me like it's in the vortex of a social kind of. Issue or faux pa or did I order too much stuff?
Brent:I can understand where you're coming from. I think that it's just whenever everything I'll agree with you on, except for the point that if you're bringing someone with the expectation of coffee, it's always worded, let's go get some coffee. That's what you say. You don't say a cafe or anything else like that implies food. Am I
Justin:No, I think if you get a, if you're going to get coffee, acceptable edition is like a pastry. But if you're like, lemme take you to a cafe. And it's not specified, and your friend orders Just don't order the most expensive thing on the menu. I think that's
George:here's, let me put it, let me put this question to If if we're all going to a restaurant, or let's say you're in a group of people and you go to a restaurant, any restaurant, it doesn't really matter. What the type of food is or what the price range is. And then somebody says, before you order, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get this, I'm gonna pay for this meal. If somebody announces before the ordering happens, I'm gonna pay for this Does that change what you order?
Brent:Yes.
George:Yes. Same. So I think that, that there, there's a what if that person then says. I'm gonna pay for this meal, but I'm only gonna get a cocktail. Does that change it anymore? Because that's basically what's
Brent:happening. If they, but again, they ordered before the coffee was ordered, so if nothing was specified, she couldn't have known. If someone said it ahead of time, then I would probably, in my mind, first of all, think okay, it's a little bit of a dick move to do that.'Cause you're certainly implying, Hey, I'm only gonna be getting a drink, but I'm paying for everybody. It's I feel like you're definitely trying to lead me of Hey, could you maybe just get a drink? So I'd probably be like. Hey, actually no, I'm gonna buy my own, if that's okay.'cause I'm really hungry and I want to eat, I'd probably do something like that
Justin:but also I think it's like, what time of day is it, right?
Brent:Sure.
Justin:So you go to the cafe like. 2 33. You're usually like in between meals, Yeah.
George:33,
Justin:Yeah. Like it's not like it's a little too late for lunch. It's a little too early for dinner. Linear.
George:Dinner, yep. I love dinner. Yeah. It
Justin:I want, am I just getting a macchiato
George:It doesn't say what time. Yeah. It doesn't say what time it is. So I don't know if I do think that's a good point. If you go at lunchtime to a cafe, you take me to a cafe at lunchtime, you don't expect me to order lunch.
Justin:I'm hungry,
George:Yeah, I'm hungry. I'm hungry, man. It's lunchtime,
Brent:hungry.
George:But maybe if it's two 30 and you're just like, Hey, we need to wait. If it's two, if it's exactly 2 33 on the nose and you're just like, Hey, let's go over here while we wait. Maybe I'm not expecting. Maybe if I'm the uncle, which I'm definitely in this scenario, I'm definitely the uncle.
Brent:Yeah I'm just saying that I'm, I will absolutely die on the hill of if you're bringing somebody for coffee. Yeah. That word is used here. It doesn't matter where you're going. You say coffee. If it's coffee, if you take, if you say Cafe, diner, re anything else, you say it's, if there's, if they serve food there, then you're going, obviously if you say, Hey, I'm gonna take you to a bar. And they happen to serve food at a bar. I, I might not expect you to get food, like I'm taking you to a bar, but if I, if it's a cafe, restaurant, whatever, if they didn't say coffee, food is implied all
George:If I was gonna take people out, because I do think that it's it's like a whole thing to unpack, like, how do hu why do humans do stuff that they do? But we're not gonna answer that, but. The thing of if I was gonna take people out to dinner, if I was gonna take like a group of people to dinner, I would probably not tell them up top that I was gonna pay for dinner because I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want them to I wouldn't want them to change what they, if I was gonna buy dinner. I wouldn't want them to,'cause some people will buy something more expensive when, which is a dick move too. It's oh, you're buying,
Brent:All right.
George:And some people will buy something less expensive, which is okay, if I'm gonna, if I was gonna buy a group of people dinner, I would want them to make their decision regardless of what I was gonna do, right? Yes. Same. And then I would reveal that later, or I'd go do the little shitty thing where you pay the, you go to the bathroom and pay the check we're, in secret or something. And then everybody's oh, where'd the check go? And you gotta do that whole thing,
Justin:feel like George is trying to tell us he wants to take us to dinner.
George:I would, Hey, I would love to take you
Brent:dinner. Hey, listen, after this though, I wanna take you guys to this cafe to get some coffee. There's
George:wouldn't, no, don't
Justin:is it good coffee? I only want good
Brent:coffee. Yeah. It's real like
Justin:me to a dumpy place where were, oh, you
Brent:it's the Okayest Coffee in all of Austin Merit Coffee.
Justin:We just went on like a, we just went on a I
George:Oh, damn. I hope they weren't one of our sponsors this week.
Brent:but it was great
Justin:you think, like nowadays you can go get coffee anywhere and it's like pretty good. But we just went on this barbecue trip to go out to snow's Barbecue in Lexington. we like, it's in the morning, so we're there early in the morning and we wanted to get coffee and so we're like, oh, so somebody found the coffee spot? So we're like, okay, let's go to it. And it was like fresh donuts. There was just drip coffee and nothing else. And we're like, Hey, what size? They're like
George:large,
Justin:And there was nothing else, just the large coffee. So yeah,
George:I, I had the same
Justin:don't take me there'cause I don't, I won't drink that coffee.
George:went to Galveston and we were trying to get a coffee and there was a place. They had a big sign that said, we have coffee. And we were like, oh, great. And we went in and it was the same. It was just like old, it was like old drip
Brent:old drip. It's ger.
George:we got, it was just like old drip coffee that was just like, it was like gas station. They've got the pot, the, the
Justin:yes, that's
George:was. it? The orange one is decaf and the red
Brent:one
George:is regular. Yeah. Black or silver or black. It's black. Black is regular and you'd just get like this old ass like drip coffee. Yeah. It's and then we were like, we were all kinda we, we were all kinda like flustered about it and then we walked out and we looked at the sign again and it was like, they do
Brent:have, he's they didn't lie.
George:what the sign says. Anyway, we gotta answer this question. I think that I feel like if I'm summarizing. We didn't quite get a clear enough, we didn't get any guide rails from the uncle. So you're not, it's not your fault that you ordered
Brent:No I would even imagine that the uncle probably wanted to treat them. Yeah. Wasn't that hungry himself. Just so just got a coffee'cause he wasn't hungry. And then you're probably imagining the He ate annoyed looks
Justin:ate. He ate earlier.
George:he might've eaten earlier. Yeah. I don't
Justin:You don't know. You don't know me.
George:Yeah, so you didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to offer to pay you if you want to offer to pay like you always can, but that's always such a weird thing when people are like I can pay. And it just gets awkward.
Brent:But also just to be on the safe side, maybe move towns, change names and don't ever speak to these people again, just so you don't have to.
George:Yeah, absolutely. Change
Justin:protection.
George:witness protection. You gotta get into witness protection. But you didn't do anything wrong. Solved. We did it. Second one, guys, the, I'm gonna warn you, I'm gonna give a big warning here that. Feel free to use that veto power on this one because I feel like this is not one that we should weigh in on. I just, it was just like too, I, it was too, I don't know. I had to put it
Justin:put too real, too close to
George:real too close to home. I had to put, not too close to home, but I really, in re real reality, I don't think that either of us, any of us, either of us, either of the three of us.
Brent:Either of us,
George:I don't think we're qualified at all to weigh in on this and we'll all get canceled for Mitch saying anything about this. Okay? But I do wanna read it to you and feel free to veto it or we can answer it my
Justin:highway the danger zone.
George:Okay. My boss scheduled a meeting to warn me. My breasts are inappropriate. Do you guys want to veto yet or
Brent:going? You had me at breasts.
George:Alright, we're, I'm gonna give you an opportunity after every paragraph to veto this. Hello. I'm a girl in my twenties and I work for a small, medium sized company. Anyone veto still going. All right.
Justin:veto dial.
George:Okay. Today my boss scheduled a meeting to discuss my behavior, so I went in there confused. And the meeting was even more confusing because he started saying he wanted to address my inappropriate behaviors at work before he gets HR involved. I was very confused because I didn't, I don't do anything like that. So I asked him if he can please clarify, and he started telling me that my breasts and how I handle them are highly inappropriate for a workplace. And he was saying again that he wanted to talk about them and give me a warning before getting HR involved. What he was getting at was this, I have bigger than average breasts, so since I was younger, I've had the habit of resting them on a table or a desk when I sit or I put one of my arms under them or cross my arms underneath to support them. By the way, I don't rest them on the desk much when I'm around other people. I mostly do that when I'm on my desk, and if I do that around other people, it's primarily when I'm typing the meeting notes because I'm leaning forward to type or something. Sometimes it's just naturally like that because I'm a bit short, so the most of the times when I'm around others I just have my arms underneath. It goes on like that for a while. It was really uncomfortable to talk about my body clothes and even underwear briefly with him for almost half an hour. Blah, blah, blah. I felt really uncomfortable and embarrassed. I want to go talk to hr, but he mentioned HR first. Please gimme advice on what I should do. I'm not sure if I should go to hr. I'm also worried that HR would've a negative impact. I don't know what I talk about with HR as confidential. I'm very confused about what happened. It's, and it was very professional. Is she being harassed? Is she being. What do
Brent:right. I'm not qualified to comment on this one, but I don't mind. like
Justin:she should have been going to HR first. As someone who actually runs a company and has, you have, do you have HR.
George:Yeah. Oh man,
Brent:me
Justin:Brent are just two lunatics out here. So
George:yeah, I, so as somebody runs an actual business. You made a huge mistake calling somebody into your office to talk about their
Brent:That's what I'm saying.
George:made a huge
Brent:period. like,
Justin:but you should applaud her'cause she's like saying, she's she's handy capable.
Brent:Yeah. You
George:This. Wow. I was gonna let that one just C right by
Justin:She's talking about
George:we just got can.
Justin:she needs support, and so she uses like different things should applaud her.
George:I, she actively said, she's like, Hey, I'm, I'm like resting my breasts on stuff around the office. I feel about as wrong as I thought I was going to bringing this out. There were a bunch of answers to this
Brent:Oh, sure.
George:On the interweb. I don't know what it's, I don't know what it's like having those. Especially if it's
Justin:but as someone who runs a company, you can't bring someone into your office and talk about the breasts.
George:No. If you were gonna do that, if you're the boss in this scenario, you go to your HR person and say, is this appropriate? How do I bring it up? What am I supposed to do in that? If you have HR. You the boss, go to them and say, Hey, what am I? Because I guarantee that if you ask your HR department, Hey, should I bring this 20 somethings, employee into my office with nobody else there specifically to talk about her breasts for 30 minutes? Nope. Shouldn't do that
Brent:No that's what I'm saying, at the end of the day. Regardless of how he feels about what might be inappropriate or where she's placing them. If it's not another human, then her response to it should simply be, don't look at my breasts, period. Why if they're on the table, you don't need to even know that because you shouldn't. Like of course most of us adults would just ignore it and let someone go about doing whatever. Like it's, I doubt she's doing it in a way that looks like she's trying to be provocative about it. So let it slide. What are you talking about? Funnily enough though I'll tack on one small thing to this'cause
George:About how your balls are so big that you have
Justin:I have to place them
Brent:on too. No, for the heavy breast thing. So whenever I
George:Okay. Careful, Brent. Careful
Brent:When I was going about
George:Be so careful, Brent.
Brent:I'm fine. When I was getting the patent for my rise mount device, this device I'm developing to hold a switch or a, phone at. Eye level and it anchors under your thighs when you're seated. And the closest product that existed to this was a similar thing that would just like, anchor under your thighs, but it had a telescoping arm on top of it with little lock-in pins that had no way that had TTY holders on the top of it. It
Justin:see, this is the thing that
George:so this is like a.
Justin:This is real
George:is like a
Brent:For yeah. For women with very large breasts. It's, yeah, like they're heavy, obviously, you know. But this is a, you had advice for like, when you're at home to be more comfortable on the couch that it just keeps so yeah. Come. Yeah. I'm sure this girl, yeah. This girl's just trying to get some freaking relief. Yeah. Leave her alone.
George:is there, can we like I'm trying to think of if there's like an analogous thing that is non. Sexual or not so taboo. That would be like, that'd be like hey, would your boss bring you in for some other way that you sit? Like you lean against the wall in a weird way, or I don't like how you've always got your elbow. Do you know what I'm saying? Like another thing that's just is there another thing that your boss could bring you in and say I don't like the way your posture is.
Brent:Sure. Maybe if someone was going around and noticeably just maybe I just kept putting my butt on things, like in a subtle way, but just everything I'm touching when I'm somebody, I've just, you just teabagging it. I've just got my butt going around Teabagging saying that'd probably be something that'd be like, Hey man, you gotta. You gotta quit tea bagging stuff. Arresting
Justin:them or resting them on the counter.
George:but what if you had a, what if you had like back problems and you just needed to some support, like against the wall or the water cooler or somebody's
Brent:coffee. And this won't but if I walked up to
George:Yeah, Brent,
Justin:moose Snuggle, here's a play by Brent just walked over the corner of the table and plopped his sack
George:He did.
Brent:Yeah. I'm saying like that could be considered inappropriate.
Justin:or I like my short shorts that I like to wear. George, you like, I think you
George:I got you those short
Justin:I know. So are those, if we wore those to the office, would they be inappropriate?
George:Yeah, that's a dress code thing as opposed to I can't, I couldn't think of an analogy to this one. Anyway, I think we're gonna go with the answer like. Yeah, your boss fucked up. He
Justin:He done fucked up. It
George:sound like it doesn't sound like he was trying to be sexually harassing if I like to give the generous
Brent:No I'm sure he wasn't aiming to do that,
George:but he fucked up man.
Brent:he fucked up and I'm sure he was having. He was thinking about her boobs a lot. That is the reason he came in to so maybe he needs break more time thinking about
George:Yeah. I don't, I look, I don't think that, I don't think you have to like. Take down the company over this, but you probably should get HR involved. Even just to help this guy be a better manager.'cause that's not a good thing to do. We made it through that guys.
Justin:Is it time for two truths in a
George:Do you have one
Brent:it's Two lies. Two lies Two
Justin:lies in a gig. Two
George:lies. in a gig.
Brent:Yeah. Let me pull my reminder. Bullshit
Justin:Bullshit bullshit.
George:I do have a couple more advices too, but they're okay. They're Okay.
Justin:not time for our sponsor.
Brent:okay. I got my, I got my three stories here. Okay. Okay.
George:all right, so the premise of this is, two of these stories are, two of these stories are fake stories. And one of them is a real story.
Brent:one of them is something that actually happened. The fake stories.
Justin:You gotta tell people what you do'cause you
Brent:That's right. I, we didn't really say that. My job my normal source of income is that I'm a dueling piano player. Something that George has also done in his past as well. And for those of you that aren't familiar with the concept. It is a style of live entertainment that has two pianos up on stage. And for hours we work in pairs with a partner and we'll take turns playing songs that are all audience requests. And then we do a lot of kind of improv comedy, audience interaction, things like that. A lot of crazy antics will end up happening from time to time on these particular stories. I have structured them in such a way that I've. Pull. Even the lies I've pulled elements of reality from, but ultimately don't amount to something that actually happened feels
George:like cheating. And all the people at this place are sober, totally sober.
Brent:Definitely not that which actually leads me into my first story of these things. So this one I titled handstand finale. And this was, you've probably, sometimes we'll do this bit where we will have particularly newlyweds coming up to the stage a lot of the time, or people that are engaged just, to a couple in short. And we'll, just a simple thing to do is you'll sit the guy down first. Start doing the, the song Pony by Genuine. And then you'll have him sit, actually have the guy sit down, have the girl do a little bit of a lap dance first, but then quickly switch it up and say, no, you know what, we're gonna do this the other way around and have the guy give you lap dance. And then we just encourage him to get more and more ridiculous with it. One thing that's been pretty funny is that I'll tell them to if you can get upside down before I finish this course, then I'll buy you a drink. And usually they'll end up doing like a. Handstand thing, but put their feet like on the piano, which ends up putting like their balls in their face and it's just, it's a funny position. It gets a good laugh outta the crowd, which is hilarious. It's, yeah, so it is funny. It always works pretty well, but in this case, he goes and puts his feet up, but instead of putting them like on the piano, like I, I think he was trying to do that, but the guy just definitely lost his balance and we have tables directly in front of there. He fell across the tables, knocked down every single drink on at least two tables. I think the other one was like toppled, but the, we have these big, they call'em schooner. They're like these big bulls. One of these things broke though. Cut the shit outta the guy. Not, I don't think, I doubt he went to the hospital over it, but enough that like they had to clear some of the crowd outta the way to come out with a mop and get blood off the floor from what had happened there. Second story, all the, I'm gonna switch it up by slightly saying I wasn't. It. This was at work, but I wasn't on stage. Still happening at a gig, so I think it qualifies. But this one was taking place right outside of the bar that I was out there talking to a friend, and we have mounted patrol on sixth Street, or at least we used to. They shut down the streets historically and
George:mounted on horses.
Brent:they mount horses. They need to bring that back. I know. I think they're still around somewhere that we just don't see'em as much in front of the bar. But in this case. One of them had their horse parked. Do you park a horse? What do you do to a horse?
Justin:This is Texas. We should know. We
Brent:We should know that he had, there's his horse hit, but it wasn't hitched. It was just parked. It was just
George:it was just parked
Brent:yeah. He parked his horse near Pete's. And I could see the cops over there doing cop things.
George:he stopped his
Brent:horse. Yeah. And there was a, he stopped his horse. And there was this pair. Of really drunk guys that I had seen partying all night at Pete's. They come out and they just start bullshitting with each other. I don't remember what escalated it as much as it did, but started saying, man I'll do whatever. I don't give a shit. And then one of'em was like, man, bet you won't go punch that horse. And I said, oh, yeah, I will. I'm going. As sure as this the world, this guy walks over to the horse. Balls up his fist, punches the shit out of the horse in his face. The horse like rears his neck back, just knocks the guy on his ass. It didn't take even one second before the cops were just swarming on this guy, beating the shit out of him as well. He gets arrested. I'm sure, probably charged for felony assault officer or whatever. Story
George:the horses are considered,
Brent:they're considered officers, I believe. Yeah.
Justin:they are
Brent:yeah. Really
George:a man. I hope that one's not true, because I don't want to think that a horse got punched, but I also hope it is true because I'cause just like the vengeance, justice that I want to happen to anybody who punches a horse.
Brent:Third story also involving a very drunk guy, but we, so you might know this George, from going up there, but in the office upstairs. There's a little mini fridge, which is mostly for if we wanna bring our, some of our food in to have, or Tim keeps a lot of his shit up there. The GM of the club, but he also almost always has either one or two bottles of crystal just in case someone comes. They don't keep it normally behind the bar, but if someone comes in, they're like, Hey, we want your best shit, then he is got like expensive champagne to sell them. We also have like cheap bottles of champagne that comes out with a the, they call it the Cadillac package. It's a little mini. Grand piano that they put a couple a, a bottle of champagne and a schooner in the back of, and the door guys carry it out there and they have sparklers and it's a whole production. They always have the champagne in there, but one of the parties was wanting to be fancy and they'd swapped it out with Kristol and at the request of the guy that was hosting the party. And they go and set the thing down, put the scooter on the table, put the champagne out there, and the drunkest fucking idiot in the group, grabs the champagne, pops it off, and just starts shaking it everywhere. Just sprays. They had maybe a quarter if that, like a fifth of that bottle was left when he got done. And I, nobody fought, but the guy that paid like he was pretty mad. So anyway. Two of those stories are bullshit, or at least don't amount to a total truth. The other one is absolutely true in every bit.
Justin:I feel like Brent's really good at telling stories,
George:Yeah, he is so good.
Justin:can weave some tails
George:and you guys are missing the visual elements'cause there's a lot of visual elements to these stories, especially winding up to punch the Which man, the christelle. I've never had christelle Have you guys had it? It
Brent:I have I did a private party with Nick Jany over at
George:out to Nick Jankey.
Brent:to Nick Jankey over at some rich guy's house here in Austin. And this guy just had everything there and he gave us some christelle that he, they, he sat on each of our pianos, a bottle of the. Don Julio. 19 0 42. 1942. Yeah. But that was the party that I had Kristal, and I gotta say, it didn't taste really that much different to me than any other average run of the mill champagne I've ever had
Justin:Once you get, start getting into higher priced champagne, it starts tasting like dirty It's more and more like funk.
George:Our
Justin:I like mums.
George:to, I've never had Krista, but I don't really like champagne that much.
Justin:What about miosis?
George:yeah, mimosas are
Brent:yeah, and maybe that's the thing too, is I'm not the biggest fan of champagne. Like I'll drink it, but I'm not a big fan of it. So it's if you give me a really fancy version of something I'm already not that big of a fan of, it's like me. Okay, fine.
Justin:This sounds like champagne problems.
George:champagne. problems, a new segment. Visa. Okay, good. That's pretty good. Okay, so we gotta find,
Justin:We gotta figure out which one's the truth.
George:Yeah. So the first, oh, hold on. Let's recap. The first story was the, oh, I forgot the first story. Now. The guy, guy fell over. Guy fell over, cut
Justin:I feel like that could be real because of I've been to Pete's and people get drunken idiots all the time, so that sounds like a drunken idiot moment. Especially if you try to do a handstand and you're hammered. Like, how many times have we done dumb shit hammered?
Brent:Oh, yeah.
George:Seven
Justin:veto.
George:Yeah. No, that could definitely could have happened. The second one was punching the horse. Punching the horse sounds a little like, sounds a little, that sounds a little like comic book. It's, that sounds a little. To fa
Justin:I actually know someone that happened to. Is spring break years ago in Miami. They like came out drunk and slapped the horse's ass and he, they got arrested because it was, they got it's a police officer
Brent:Although I will say, let's just let's presuppose and pretend that this is the true story for a minute about the horse. But compared to slapping a horse's ass, which like I could see some idiot doing it, like punching something in the face is a very different thing.
Justin:really rude.
Brent:on the ass,
Justin:that's really rude. What'd the horse do to you?
Brent:Exactly. Yeah.
George:I'm so mad about that story whether
Brent:might not be true,
George:Yeah. If it wasn't, if it's not true, shame on you for
Justin:yeah. Why do you wanna hurt horses? Brent, what did they
George:you trying to imaginary hurt these hurt imaginary horses? I don't know. I just don't know if Brent would commit such an atrocious sin as punching an imaginary horse in an imaginary story. So
Justin:I could also see someone like being an idiot and grabbing the champagne and spraying
George:Yeah, man. I'm gonna go, you know what? I feel like I waited in first, last time. Neither of us won last time, we both guess different fake
Brent:stories. It's
Justin:he's really good at selling the story.
George:Sells
Brent:the story. Does it need to be, does it need to be two truths on the next one? Is it
George:no. I like it.
Justin:A
George:I like it. Hard. Daddy.
Justin:Yeah, I'm gonna go with the first one'cause I could definitely see some it would probably be me. Yeah. Trying to do a handstand and falling.
George:Okay. All right.
Brent:And I'll also mention that whenever, once I don't remember if I did this last time, but if I reveal, I, I will also, once I reveal, I will also. Let you know what point of the bullshit story makes it bullshit, because like I said, they do stem from elements
Justin:Yeah. Okay. So
Brent:I'll let you know what turns it into a, oh,
Justin:So now I'm rethinking it.'cause like maybe this guy fell, but maybe he didn't cut himself up and there wasn't blood all over the place at the move tables.
George:Yeah. I don't I don't know. What are you gonna go with because I can,
Justin:know what, I'm gonna stand by. I'm gonna stand by my
George:So it was the guy, so hold on. Handstand. Guy who falls over and gets cut was number one. Second one was horse punch story. Third one was, drunk guy wastes all the crystal and it's super expensive. How expensive is a bottle of Crystal? Like a hundred dollars?
Brent:I have no idea. ounce at a bar.
Justin:Hold on, let me ask
Brent:Yeah, like Tim's probably charging 400 bucks
George:it's gotta be like a couple hundred bucks at
Brent:Yeah,
Justin:Yeah. It's enough to where it piss you
George:Yeah. that sounds true man. I'm gonna, I'm I'm gonna, I'm gonna weigh in and say that the horse story is. The Wait. No, it's two fake So I'm trying to pick the one true one. I'm gonna say that Chris Dial is the true That's what, that's my vote
Brent:Alright. With the votes locked
George:Hold on. Did Justin, are you locking
Justin:I am. Locking in.
George:You're locking in on the handstand guy.
Justin:I'm locking on the hands. Okay. So it's about. 300 bucks
Brent:Okay. There you go. So probably 500 bucks at Pete's.
George:We're both ge, we're both guessing and voting. That horse punch is fake, hoping that horse punch is
Justin:Yeah. Otherwise, there's a terrible human being
Brent:I will now reveal to you guys that the true story is horse
George:God dammit. Ah, we're
Justin:God, what an
Brent:an idiot. Zero.
Justin:We suck
Brent:This game game. Yeah, but for real, like I guarantee that guy would've I, he must've gotten in so much trouble like those cops. Fucked him up, dude.
Justin:Yeah, who holds off and like really punches a horse.
Brent:No. And he did it for no reason. Literally, his buddy that was also wasted was just like egging him on. It was just literally one of the things of bet you won't do. And the guy's bullshit, watch me. No reason let's turn a fun night into a felony charge for but as you said you absolutely called it on the thing. Like I, the, there, there definitely has been someone that fell and knocked over all the. Tables and drinks. I've never seen someone do it in a way that cut them up really bad. Yeah. You're so right. Yeah. You're right about that. Also with the crystal thing, that one that we do have crystal at the bar. We do offer the champagne like. Cadillac packages. I've never seen anyone spray that champagne across the
George:I just want everybody to, everybody needs to know that every time Brent says champagne, he does a shake weight motion. Like he's holding the and shaking the bottle of champagne.
Brent:champagne.
George:Yeah, he is Got the champagne shake. God, man. Hey, if that guy is listening to this podcast, fuck you,
Brent:right? Yeah. I
Justin:place in hell for people to punch his horses.
George:Yeah. Who punches a horse?
Brent:But the horse defended himself pretty well too. Like the horse when he like reached back and popped him with his head, was a much, that guy got hurt, way worse than the horse did. If those would've only been the only two impacts, he already lost that exchange. But then the cops came over and beat the shit out of him.
Justin:That's called the fuck around to find out.
Brent:Exactly.
George:Yeah. Jesus Christ. Could you imagine being that guy applying for a job somewhere? Hey, we see you've got a felony. What is it? What was it? Tell us about it.
Justin:He's definitely not allowed in Canada. If you have a felony, you're not allowed in
George:Oh, you punched a horse? No, you can't work here. Of course that
Justin:we have morals,
George:Yeah. Angers.
Justin:This is a family run
George:We have sex offenders here, but we do not hire hunch. Horse punchers. Hunch. Put PORs horse punch. God so
Brent:Horse punchers.
Justin:Horse
George:Horse punchers. Horse punchers. Easy for you to say. Thanks, Brent. Do you guys do you guys wanna answer one more question?
Brent:Yeah,
Justin:sure.
George:sure. Okay. So here's here's, let's see, I'm gonna skip that one. Here we go. Income soon to double with new job advice. I currently live very comfortably on 80,000 euros a year. Euros is monopoly money that they use in Yeah, sure. Exclusively so I currently live very comfortably on 80,000 euros a year. I've recently been hired for a new position that offers compensation of 162,000 euros a year. I'm 30 years old living in Europe after paying off my house, et cetera.
Brent:Oh, that's why the euros.
George:Yeah. Oh,'cause Europe, that makes a lot of sense. After paying off my house, et cetera. One is what is one left to do? I currently don't feel financially limited, and it's not like I'll start wearing high fashion brands or blowing money on fancy cars. The only thing I can really think of is investing and retiring early, but that seems so far away. I know this is a luxury problem to have, but I grew up poor and I'm really struggling with what to do. Thanks in advance for any help.
Justin:Make that money, play a
George:Make that money, play a
Brent:got, I fell off a little bit at the end because I was just imagining him romantically on a car with money blowing it.'cause he was saying blowing money on a car and I just got that
Justin:making it rain. He's got those money guns. It's like that saying, wait, if I win the lottery, I won't tell anyone, but there'll be signs.
George:I think that Brent is implying
Brent:that he was affiliating the money. Yeah, he
George:coating yeah. Anthropomorphize the money. And it's, it also doesn't say that this is it doesn't say male or female on this one. Just that they're 30 living in Europe, making too much money. What do I do with all this money I make?
Justin:You could change, you could do things. Maybe give it away, maybe help people. Maybe
Brent:just not only that, but maybe this is gonna sound like a crazy concept. You're actually allowed to save it too. And that way whenever you're not making as much when you're older, then you can,
Justin:yeah. One day you're not gonna be able to make the money. Dog.
George:there's one bit that I'm gonna veto and that's giving reasonable advice. Veto. I'm gonna veto that. Reasonable advice.
Brent:Alright, then
Justin:what if you want caviar every night, you need to make some money,
Brent:Then obviously what you should do with that much money is two chicks at the same time.
George:Yeah. Or would I God, yeah. But that's crazy to just, it seems like wild to just double your, amazing. That's a big jump. Congratulations.
Justin:Yeah
Brent:yeah.
Justin:take the money.
Brent:Do
Justin:the thing. Change the world.
George:Yeah, You could save it if you want to. I think that you should go on every time Steam does like a steam sale, you should buy like every game that's on sale.
Brent:because you'll be, you'll definitely be able to play'em all.
Justin:Go on a trip, man. Go have some fun Travel.
Brent:I say travel.
Justin:Yeah. Go to Thailand.
Brent:see
Justin:Get like five ties. Have a good time.
Brent:piece of info we don't have though is we know that he's got a lot of money, but is this job demanding on his time? Like maybe you're making a lot of money, but you don't have any time to spend it, and that's a different conversation.
George:see. What does one to do? Yeah. It doesn't say, it just says they're doubling. Their
Justin:a bitch and take the money.
George:Take the money. They're definitely taking the money. I don't think that they're asking whether or not to take the money. They're for sure taking the money.
Justin:Get a cook
Brent:Then I think you run after that. Take
George:the money and run. Yeah. Hire a cook for a week. Just hire like a chef for a week. If
Justin:If I won the lottery, I'd get a chef. Even though I love the cook. That'd be rad. That'd be like one indulgence is like a cool chef.
George:I think it would be cool. To get like a bunch of dogs, get a big yard and like a bunch of dogs. Have you ever seen those videos where they're like, they go to Dog Island or something and it's just like
Justin:but you gotta take care of all those dogs. That's a lot of work. Then you have to hire someone to take care of all those
George:Yeah, pay for that. They basically got their salary plus another salary. They're saying they don't know need. They have two salaries now versus one
Justin:Yeah. You could hire someone to do something
George:Yeah. hire different people for different parts of the year. Let's say that you're, let's say that they keep everything else exactly the same, like they don't change their lifestyle or anything like that.$80,000 you could spend, like every month you hire somebody to do a different thing. So you have a cook one month and you could have a full-time. What else? Like a masseuse ma. Yeah, a
Justin:masseuse would be fun every day
George:for a month. Get one new hire every month. What else? A driver. That would be pretty cool. Just one month you have a driver. Yeah,
Justin:Keep the car running. Keep it up front.
Brent:one month. He could have A mini fridge.
George:a mini fridge. can you just buy a mini fridge?
Justin:But this is
Brent:But that doesn't fit the Exercise
Justin:Yes. yeah.
George:It's, yeah. Is you right? That was my bad. I vetoed this exercise. Exercise vetoed.
Justin:exercise. Vetoed
George:I think you should have a, I think you should have a fridge, but like a full size fridge with mini fridge stuff in it. You know what I mean?
Justin:Ooh. Like mini foods.
George:if I doubled my, if I doubled my salary, I would just get a full-sized fridge and it would just be like a drink fridge.
Brent:with mini fridges inside of it. Mini like a Russian doll situation of refrigerators.
George:Oh, that would be cool. I don't hate that. I'm not gonna veto Russian doll mini
Brent:frame
George:inside of regularized
Justin:of genius.
Brent:Hey, there we go.
Justin:Yeti, if you're listening,
George:Yeah.
Justin:Make us a cooler that's inside a cooler. Inside a mini
George:Isn't that what, hold on. Isn't that what Yeti is? Isn't it a cooler inside of a cooler? There's so much insulation and how much in Trasher? I think they should also get into like retro fads. Like really get into collecting Pokemon cards. Pokemon cards isn't a retro fad. That's like now that's like cool now, right?
Brent:I think it still has a strong following. Sure.
Justin:Probably huge I play with my kids. It's pretty funny. You try to catch it all.
George:I've played Pokemon. Are you talking about Pokemon Go?
Justin:No, like the card that's what it was. It was like, it's like a card game
George:but you'd get really into get really into Pokemon Go, I think is what you should
Justin:that sounds like Actually. We had someone that was showing up outside of our house and it was like creepy dude sitting in a car that no one knew and. Finally one of our neighbors confronted him was like, yo, what are you doing here? Like early in the morning or like late in the evening, and it was some dude that was just like, apparently there's like a geotag gym in our park. And so this dude was just coming and sitting in his car to play Pokemon
George:that is awesome. I feel like I heard you. I feel like you told me that
Justin:Yeah. That was Jonathan's John, like they're parked outside of Jonathan's house. Just like creepy dude in his car. No one knows what he's doing. No one knows who he is.
George:Yeah. The don't park outside of Jonathan's
Justin:No.'cause you will
George:die.
Justin:Yes.
George:die.
Justin:Has many laser beams.
George:I think. Man, I'm just obsessed with what you could do with an extra fridge, with an extra s salary worth of just have a fridge that's full of like hot dogs or something like, I don't know. Get an extra fridge full of something.
Brent:Not, but not hot dogs. That's a lot of
Justin:of hot dogs
George:But hot dogs last, I guess I was thinking because hot dogs last for a really long time.
Brent:Oh yeah.
George:Like you wouldn't have to freeze. How long do hot We'll solve that on
Brent:freezing it?
George:without freezing a hot dog. Like how long would a hot dog
Brent:I would've guessed like a month.
George:Do you get, do you have a over under on?
Justin:Here's the thing. So if you get really good hot dogs
Brent:They'll last less.
Justin:they'll last less. Yeah. If you get those ones that are in
Brent:the Yeah, I think we're talking about like ballpark francs, right?
George:Yeah. we're talking
Justin:If you got like a ballpark, they're probably lasting for a long time. It's probably like a, is probably like that, American cheese that doesn't actually melt under,
George:guys fire I just found on Reddit advice. Are hot dogs still okay to eat until their best before date? If the package has been unopened? People need to know about hot Anyway. We'll, on another episode I think we solved it. I think the answer is fill up mini fringes with stuff like you need to get into Pokemon Go.
Justin:Yeah.
George:Get a ski.
Justin:Ooh, Kenny Power style
George:ski. Do. Is that right? Ski. Do. Ski Do
Brent:the those are two different things. One is a snowmobile and the other is a jet ski, p, personal watercraft, whatever you wanna call them. Yeah, just get
