Veto The Podcast Episode 18 - Let's Get Those Chompies Out

The guys are back again and this time they're all going to the dentist. But not because there's anything wrong with their perfect little chompies...because those greedy dental conglomerates just can't keep their greasy paws off the VTP fat stacks.

The guys pop back into their local Subway for a quick sub, and then go to church and really learn more than they thought they would.

It's Veto The Podcast and I'm goin straight to hell, just like my momma said. I'm goin straight to heeellllll.

Brent doesn't have kids. What is spring break Texas this week or was it last week? I think it was last week.

SPEAKER_06 2:54

I don't know for Texas. I know that uh my daughter goes to Tulane. She is here uh on spring break. So this week is her spring break. But I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 3:05

She came home for spring break. You guys must be cool parents then.

SPEAKER_06 3:08

We are. She's at a bar right now.

SPEAKER_03 3:13

They're cool and they're also parents. So by extension, they're cool parents.

SPEAKER_02 3:18

They're cool parents. Uh it's hot as shit in Texas this week. I don't know though. I don't know. I mean, we're doing a segment now where you just talk about the weather at the beginning, but holy shit, it's like in the 90s now in Texas, in Austin at least.

SPEAKER_03 3:32

Yeah. Uh the only reason I'm wearing a hoodie is because I decided to go to the dental office and this place, they keep their thermostat at uh at a brisk 52, I think. Uh so I I dressed for for that climate. But it is rather hot out.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

I gotta go to the dentist tomorrow morning. Yeah. I know. Johnny, when's the last time you went to the dentist?

SPEAKER_06 3:55

Probably six months ago. I don't know. I I went right before we moved. So I gotta find a new dentist. Like, that's the man. When you move, you gotta find new You gotta find new stuff. Yeah. And I don't like it.

SPEAKER_02 4:13

I wish we had I wish Zoc Doc was sponsoring us because I could talk about how awesome of a service that is. But I'm not gonna do it because they don't. Because they don't. Yeah, man, it's tough. We have like, I feel like a good one that we've been going to in Austin in Austin for a while. But I feel like they've been I feel like they must have been getting some pressure on like billings or something, because now I'm getting I'm I'm supposed to go to the dentist every six months, but now I'll get text messages them from them that are like, hey, we've got you scheduled for six months, but do you want to come in four months early? And I'm just like, no. And they're like, okay. And then they'll text me again like uh three or four weeks later, like, hey, you want to come in three months early? And I'm like, no, I'll just like is there any reason?

SPEAKER_06 4:59

No, I think the dentist they had like some kind of convention or something, and they're like, How how do we get more revenue? Yeah, you know, and they're like, Well, just tell people they need more than twice a year.

SPEAKER_03 5:09

You you guys may remember my my wife's a dental hygienist, so I can actually definitively answer that to be the case. That whenever you go to one of these more home practice type clinics, then that's one thing, you know, if it's an individual dentist that owns the thing, but by and by most of them are being bought out by corporate entities, and they do the same thing every corporation does, is they'll have meetings and say, Well, where can we get more production, as they call it? You know, and they'll try to find ways to boost that. So, yeah, they're they're trying to sell you services just like anybody else's.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

Gross.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

Can I switch? Not to say there's not a real need for it, you know, but like they're certainly looking for where they can get the most money. I mean, look, teeth this beautiful aren't free.

SPEAKER_02 5:50

Look at those chompers. You guys see the let me just demonstrate. Does that come across in the audio medium? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:57

They sound very healthy.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 6:00

You don't even need to go to the dentist tomorrow to send a recording of that. Just be like, listen, listen to these. Tell me.

SPEAKER_02 6:06

Hey, get hey, can you guys get on video call? Listen to that. Like, sir, you shouldn't be doing that. That's not good for that's not good for your old chompies. That's my dental office calls them my chompies. Your chompies. Yeah, so I don't know if that's good or bad. Let's take a look at those chompies. Let's take a look at those chompies, Mr. Milton. I think he might be hitting on you. Uh well, I can't tell. I never, it's always so like uh they're always wearing the masks now, so I can't tell who's hitting on me or not.

SPEAKER_03 6:39

You can tell in the eyes if you really want to tell. You know, it's it's a look.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

Yeah. Let's get those chompies out. I think maybe it's a tonality thing. Like if it's like, let's get those chompies out, that's probably not hitting on me.

SPEAKER_03 6:52

No, because my dentist, even if he's got that mask on, there's just a certain look in his eyes once his finger starts to go in my butt that I can just tell. I think what it's hitting on me. Hold on, what? Back up a second. What'd you say?

SPEAKER_06 7:06

That's that's regular, right? Front end, back end.

SPEAKER_03 7:10

Like a regular dentist visit.

SPEAKER_02 7:12

I was I was gonna ask if I could switch to your dentist where your wife goes, but I don't I'm gonna stick with my dentist. Because no butt stuff at my dentist.

SPEAKER_06 7:25

We uh we need to check your prostate.

SPEAKER_02 7:27

So no, you don't, no, you don't.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

I know you don't. Say ah. That's what it is. That's that's okay.

SPEAKER_06 7:41

Don't you want to change your gloves? No, we're good.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

No, we're good. Yeah, I think you should change your glove. It's part of our green initiative.

SPEAKER_02 7:51

Yeah. You guys, what do you guys remember when they started? It's gotta be like 10 or 15 years ago when hotels started being like, just reuse your towels because of green, because we're protecting the environment. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

I've talked about this before that there's a lot of situations that I can you know make the example of uh where corporations have done these green initiatives. I've never seen any of these green initiatives though that didn't also save them money in a significant way. Yeah. You know, they seem to really coincide a lot, those two things.

SPEAKER_02 8:24

Yeah, they're like, we've got a green initiative uh here at Chili's now where you wash your own dishes after dinner. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

Well, uh, I'm doing good for the environment. It's me washing my dishes. At our apartment, they have like a coffee machine station, and they always had like little cups down there, but you know, that was like, yeah, part of their the green initiative, we aren't gonna be providing cups anymore. Bring your own mug. Like, oh, thank you guys. We're so glad you're saving the environment.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

I mean, it is it is convenient that corporations are like, hey, using less stuff is good for the environment. And it is.

SPEAKER_03 9:04

Yeah, like we can't say it's not, you know, it is better.

SPEAKER_02 9:07

But like, do you think when those same people like have like corporate travel, they make the executives like not I don't know, that they make everybody skimp at the company, or are they just asking their customers to skim?

SPEAKER_03 9:20

I don't know. If they really wanted to get crazy with it, they could like pay someone at their branches to go through the garbage and make sure to separate out all the recyclables and then hand deliver them to the right. I mean, you know, like we're not we're only gonna go to a certain length, and uh I just think that they're only gonna concentrate on those green initiatives that also save them money. They're not gonna spend money to get green.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

Yeah, I do like that. What like I remember seeing that for the first time at like a Hilton or something. I'm not specifically calling out Hilton, I just feel like that's probably where I saw it, and I was like, wait, that doesn't ah, you guys got me. There was a there was a company, I can't remember what it's called. There's a company that some guy started years ago where he got the soaps, like the used soaps from hotels and mixed them all back together and then sold those soaps back to hotels.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

I know what you're talking about. I remember I remember hearing about that for sure. Have you ever heard about that, Johnny?

SPEAKER_06 10:19

I've never heard about that. That's great.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy though, right? But they sell them back to the hotel, and then the hotel still does. I'm like, if they're doing that, can you give me like a regular size bar of soap?

SPEAKER_06 10:30

Yeah, really.

SPEAKER_02 10:31

Like, just give me a that's the those are the premium hotels when you stay at a place and they give you not a full-size bar of soap, but like a half-size bar of soap.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Yeah, I've seen they've also gone to hollowing them out these days, which like I get it, feels like a bar of soap, but they're so small, I don't even steal them anymore.

SPEAKER_06 10:48

It's like they don't even last.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

I wonder if that has anything to do with it. If they're like, how small do we have to make these little shits before people stop stealing them? They found it.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

I think they're you guys a fan of the I feel like the more common thing now, especially in the showers, they have like the squeezy bottles on the wall. The squirty bottles. Or the or the or the you know. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

Oh, it's that.

SPEAKER_06 11:11

Okay. The lotion.

SPEAKER_02 11:13

Yeah, the lotion. That's gonna be the clip that I get is Brent doing all the pump lotion. Just notes.

SPEAKER_06 11:19

Sporting the lotion. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

I still haven't decided how I feel about those because it is it it is kind of a more that is a greener thing to do. It's also a cheaper thing to do. And it also like when I go in and the and the and the shampoo or the body wash is like almost empty, it makes me think about all the other people who have showered in that shower. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:42

Yeah, and you don't want to think about that.

SPEAKER_03 11:45

Yeah, I'll be kind of a fan of it because I've got as much as I need, but uh, but I I think Chris Salcedo in particular, you know, one of the piano players uh where I work, I do a lot of uh private shows with him, and we'll end up staying at a lot of hotels. He took a picture of it one time where he went to use the shampoo. And I the only way this could happen in my mind is someone had to intentionally do it, but like a big glob that was basically just of someone's hair.

SPEAKER_06 12:12

Just like splotted on his hand.

SPEAKER_03 12:16

The only way I can imagine that that that could even work is like someone like like maybe a lady when they have all their hair shedding in the shower, and maybe she had to ball this up in her hands and then like shove it through that that rubber bladder back in the thing, making sure that the next person would get a splot of that's so gross. That's so gross. So I get by Chris actually, anytime we go to hotels now, he's actually taken, he always brings his own travel size soap and shampoo with him. He doesn't rely on the hotel givings anymore as a result of that incident.

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Me and Aaron were talking about uh travel stuff the other day, because like I had to travel so much of March for work. I was just like, as soon as I got back, I had to just like wash clothes and repack for the next trip. And like when I travel, I don't bring a like I'm I'm a big fan of the like just put it all in a backpack, don't check a bag, no roller bag. I started doing this like years ago just as a I don't know, not not because it's better, just as kind of like a challenge and a I guess a flex. But so I don't I don't bring like I have like a little travel shaving cream, a little travel toothpaste. I I do have like a lot of products at home or whatever, and I don't bring any of them. And then Aaron's like the main reason she checks a bag is so she can bring like her shampoo, you know? Yeah, and I was like, well, what is the biggest thing?

SPEAKER_03 13:43

She doesn't ever just use the little like you can buy the little refillable mini ones of your own, right?

SPEAKER_02 13:47

She has before, but I feel like it's it's still like she's got specific products that she likes to use, and like it's just like easier for her to like check a bag or something for that particular reason. My main one is just like shaving stuff because I you know shave my my whole head.

SPEAKER_03 14:04

Plus, I got my conditioner and preparation H mixed up one time, and uh it was like a free facelift though. I mean, it was Yeah, it's pretty gross.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

That's cool. But your hand but your hemorrhoids were pretty inflamed, right?

SPEAKER_03 14:17

I mean, but soft butt hair though. So I didn't even have to wipe for like a week.

SPEAKER_02 14:23

Good. That didn't have to wipe for a week. That will bring us right into V2 the podcast.

SPEAKER_06 14:27

Sponsored by Preparation H.

SPEAKER_02 14:30

Preparation H. No, don't give them free advertising. You're not giving it away for free, but I'll tell you what I am giving away for free is these shiny veto cards. You each get two, and I get two. You can use them for whatever you want.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

Um I think I blew mine a little quickly last time and sort of regretted it towards the end. Yeah, it was mainly an effort to make sure that I did use them, but I'm gonna go for somewhere in the middle this time.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

I've I'm gonna save mine for when Johnny King is like, you have to defend this wrong take.

SPEAKER_06 15:03

Yeah. You know what? I'm gonna burn one right now because this has been this has been weighing on me a few episodes. I said that Subway was overrated. Yeah, I would like to veto that take because I've been getting hate mail. Oh my god. My daughter's mad at me. Yeah, she said, how can you say that Subway is overrated? We've eaten Subway four times in the last three weeks.

SPEAKER_05 15:37

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 15:38

Because my family is mad at me because I said Subway was overrated.

SPEAKER_03 15:43

So I am like to understand you are vetoing your own previous take so as to not suffer more wrath from that of your family. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:52

So I would say that Subway is underrated. There are not enough.

SPEAKER_03 16:02

Yeah, Johnny is it?

SPEAKER_06 16:04

I have changed my mind. There's a big puzzle. There was a huge so that I could shield myself from the wrath. So I am fully shielding myself.

SPEAKER_02 16:18

That is a valiant effort, and I'm unfortunately gonna have to veto that veto. Oh no! Because and just say, Johnny, you're gonna have to live with your choices. That's life, man.

SPEAKER_03 16:30

It is forever on the record.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

It's forever on the record. Unless you want to use your last card.

SPEAKER_06 16:34

Nope. I gotta hold on. I gotta hold on to it.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Me and Johnny are coming into the game one card down.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 16:42

Alright. Guys, I came up with a new.

SPEAKER_03 16:44

I'm feeling pretty rich on cards over here, you guys.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

Rich on cards. You have the same amount of cards that me and Johnny have combined.

SPEAKER_03 16:51

Uh sort of controlling this thing right now.

SPEAKER_06 16:53

You have all the power.

SPEAKER_02 16:54

I have I have a new game. We'll see if it comes around to me, but I have a new game that I'm excited about, and it will either be great or a complete flop. I'm just gonna say that up top. You guys ready to go to the dice of destiny? I got it right here. Dice of Destiny. Let's do it. Uh okay. Uh I'm gonna be one or two. Uh Johnny King will be three and four. Brent will be five and six. Here we go. Oh. Six.

SPEAKER_03 17:19

Ooh, that's me, huh? That's Brent. So uh I wanted to kind of rehash back out on uh one that we hadn't engaged in in a while because I was looking at the uh the the walls of this hallway of the hall of mediocrity and seeing that no recent uh portraits have been hung back up on there. So um I thought also, in sort of a uh salute to to Justin and uh to go back to the hall of mediocrity, I was hoping that I could set the category that we could uh open up for debate and choose a new inductee for the Hall of Mediocrity's uh chick flick. We're coup a couple few dudes here. I know that we've all been in relationships. We've seen some chick flicks, whether we've wanted to or not. But uh out of these, one of these that one of us have seen is gonna get to hold a place in the Hall of Mediocrity. Whatever you think is not like a total piece of shit. It's also not a great movie. It's just, you know, it's a movie. I think a lot of stuff on like like Hallmark would probably fit this, or you know, there's countless Christmas movies that would exist as a result. But um, you know, the lifetime channel. This is also the the the fun of this game is that I haven't, you know, you guys haven't had any time to prepare or really give this any thought. And the whole nature is sort of meant to be that it's kind of just gotta be a knee-jerk thing, you know. Like if you're thinking too long about it, then it's uh, you know, it's probably not you know, it's just like whatever is gonna jump to your mind. Like something truly mediocre wouldn't even come to mind, but it doesn't deserve a place in the hall. The hall is the one that's mediocre enough to still come to mind.

SPEAKER_02 18:51

It still comes to mind, man. Wow, chick flicks. So like is 27 dresses like a chick flick? So like rom-comspecial. Yeah, like rom coms, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 19:00

Just rom coms would be the more yeah, apt description, I guess. Uh do you have But I could I could hear arguments for you know something else being considered a chick flick, but I would say generally we're talking about rom coms.

SPEAKER_02 19:13

Okay. The first I'll tell you the first one that pops into my mind. Um I don't think I'm I don't think that this is the one I'm saying because I like this movie. Uh 27 dresses that pops into my mind. Chick flick. Is that a chick flick?

SPEAKER_03 19:25

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, uh and not to say that it can only be enjoyed by chicks, but we know that that's like that's the primary demo they were looking for when they when they scripted that thing.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_03 19:39

So yeah, you can state it now, but like it also requires that you give some reasons uh for why you think it that it that it earns that. Like I could even give an example of what I think my is, and again, I didn't even really think of this much thought, but for my example, I think I'm gonna have to pick the 90s film Hope Floats. And my reason why isn't because I think it's a bad movie, it's because I know that throughout the 90s and like being with different girls or whatever that loved that movie. I've seen that movie at least three or four times, couldn't tell you what it's about, can barely remember who was in it. I know it was Sandra Bullock and uh who cares.

SPEAKER_06 20:19

Yeah, and and no, uh the uh the piano guy the jazz, uh the guy from New Orleans. That's that's him.

SPEAKER_03 20:27

Yeah, yeah. Uh, you know, and I like him, especially as a musician. But yeah, just this the movie is just so completely forgettable, even after seeing it a handful of times, and being one that's sort of remembered widely. So uh it didn't do much for me. I also don't hate it. That's my hall of mediocrity nominee. So that's an example of an explanation of your case. Because then we all have to agree on who's who's wins out here.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

I've never seen Hope Floats all the way through. It's one of those movies that I'm like, yeah, I get it. It's on TV or something. Um I do like Harry Conic, though. I like Harry Conick and stuff.

SPEAKER_06 21:06

Yeah, I think. I I just I remember it was filmed in Smithville, and that's like the pride, the whole thing about Smithville out past Bassdrop.

SPEAKER_02 21:14

Is this where Hope Floats was filmed?

SPEAKER_06 21:16

That's where Hope Floats was filmed.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

That's all Smithville's got going for him, huh?

SPEAKER_06 21:19

That's all they got going for them.

SPEAKER_03 21:20

They do have a big old sign that lets you know that though. You you would not visit Smithville and and leave unaware of that. Wouldn't happen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:29

Uh I'll tell you the first the two that popped to my mind are both like Matthew McConaughey, just because I th I hate Matthew McConaughey in a rom com. Not not in general. Like I love Matthew McConaughey. I just I just didn't like him in rom coms.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

I didn't I didn't find Because he was in all of them for like seven years straight.

SPEAKER_02 21:47

Yeah, he was in all of them for a while, and I feel like they all kind of like so there was one called Fool's Gold where he was with uh um um what's her face? Goldiehan's daughter? Um Kate Yes. That yes. That one. And then there was another one called Failure to Launch, which I think was also same. Same same lineup, yeah. Was it the same lineup? I feel like Failure to Launch was Sandra Bullet. Hold on.

SPEAKER_03 22:16

I think you're right, but you're right. All these movies just so blend together, like all those ones that Matthew McGone was in, yeah, that and how to lose a guy in 10 days, like they were all it was all the same movie.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

Oh, sorry, sorry. Sarah Jessica Parker.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

Oh, wow. Okay. I wouldn't have that, but yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:33

This is back when Sarah Jessica Parker was headlining. Failure to launch. I've I watched the whole thing and I was like, it was one of those movies where like the premise of it is that Matthew McConnett, hey, like in his best looking days, right, when he was like the best looking, like it was like him and Brad Pitt and like maybe one or two other people were like the best looking people on the planet, and they were like, oh, this movie is about a guy super charismatic, super good looking, like what like good like family money, all this sort of stuff, and he just can't get his life together. And I was like, shut the fuck up. Like the whole time I remember watching that show, it's just like it was just like he's at the I can't remember who plays his parents, but the theme of the movie is he's just like at home with his parents, and they're like, oh, this guy is like 40 and he's got money, he's good looking, he's charismatic. There's like nothing wrong with him, but he's just like, I want to live at home. All right, all right, all right. And you're just like, who fucking cares? Like, that's the dream nowadays.

SPEAKER_03 23:39

So are you uh like and am I to understand that your nomination is actually just gonna be Matthew for for the like Hall of Mediocrity rom-com movie? Your vote is Matthew McConaughey. Is that what I'm getting for?

SPEAKER_02 23:53

Yeah, can I nominate Matthew McConaughey? Yeah, I nominate Matthew McConaughey.

SPEAKER_03 23:57

I sort of love that that I mean, in fact, you saying that might might win me over against mine, but uh I'd love to hear Johnny's case.

SPEAKER_06 24:05

Alright, so I the the ones that pop in my head are are good ones. The ones that I don't remember must be in the mediocre. And so I'm I'm I don't know if this counts, but I'm leaning towards something like like the Twilight series or Fifty Shades of Grey, something that I would watch because not because I want to, it's because it's a girl movie. I don't know. That's what I'm thinking.

SPEAKER_03 24:40

Does that count as a oh I think that definitely falls into the category because again, like their primary demo was certainly like teen girls, you know.

SPEAKER_06 24:48

But the first thing that I popped that that I thought of was dirty dancing.

SPEAKER_03 24:52

But I like that one.

SPEAKER_06 24:53

That's a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 24:54

See, that's a really good, that's a really good movie. I wouldn't be sold on that one. Honestly, um I think that just it's like for how amalgamous the selection of them are. I'm I'm sort of won over by I mean by Matthew McConaughey as the most mediocre romantic comedy film of all time.

SPEAKER_06 25:16

I think so.

SPEAKER_03 25:18

Yeah, is it weird? I can't get past that. I can't make it funny about it. Yeah, no, it's all of them. You couldn't really put one there more than the other. It's every single one of them that he was in.

SPEAKER_06 25:29

All of Matthew McConaughey. All right.

SPEAKER_02 25:33

The collective work of Matthew McConaughey. The collective works, life and times of Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, it was a weird time between like uh man, I feel like Justin would know this timeline better, but like like there was the you know, there was like early, there was like alright, all right, alright, McConaughey, Daisy confused McConaughey, and then there was a whole string of time where he was like doing these really cool films, and then they were like Roman, yeah, they're like rom com Matthew McConaughey was like the worst version of Matthew McConaughey.

SPEAKER_03 26:04

So we're talking that in that case that that was roughly like I'd say about 2000 was whenever he started that era, and it probably went on until like a good 2007 or eight or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 26:17

The failure to launch was 2006. I don't think that was the last one that he did.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

Um we'd almost have to look at the are you are you looking at the resume there?

SPEAKER_02 26:28

Uh no, I was I was just looking at the at the I was looking up Lincoln Lawyer because I feel like Lincoln Lawyer was like maybe one of the first things that I saw where I was like, he's back, baby. That was like that was the McConaughey that I really wanted to see.

SPEAKER_03 26:42

Was like adult Matthew McConaughey like doing well, I mean, and I thought he was great in say, like, you know, the Wolf of Wall Street role that he had where he was just sort of like sort of himself, but the the stock personified version of that.

SPEAKER_06 26:56

Like, that was you know, that was he ever not himself?

SPEAKER_03 26:59

No, he's definitely one of those actors that you hire him to be him. Like you're not he's not a character actor or anything like that, you know.

SPEAKER_02 27:06

But uh you know, but I'm trying to see. I'm trying to see. I'm I'm on his IMDB page. I want to see where like so failure to launch was 2006, he was on Will and Grace. Oh, we are Marshall was also 2006, and then he did Fool's Gold. God damn it.

SPEAKER_03 27:23

I mean, no, he was definitely he was doing some stuff inside of that. It's not like that was the only type of films that he was doing, but uh, but that's why he's going in the category of mediocrity only as romantic com uh yeah, romantic comedy film. Not as an actor. We can agree that there's many works he's done that we would salute. Uh but yeah, his rom coms were just all the same movie over and over again.

SPEAKER_02 27:46

They were, and then he did oh god, ghosts of girlfriends past. That was that that popped into my mind as well, but I forgot that that was him. Yeah, yeah, this is the perfect the per the perfect one, it's just Matthew McConaughey.

SPEAKER_03 27:58

Yeah, the wedding planner, how to lose a guy in ten days, paparazzi.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

I mean, like oh the wedding planner was with uh was with Sandra Bullock. That's right, yes. Yeah, God.

SPEAKER_03 28:07

Um yeah, before that he was doing stuff like a time to kill, and I mean, you know, there's like some of the things that's yes, time to kill.

SPEAKER_02 28:13

That's the one I was trying to think about. And then he was just, yeah, failure to launch was like that's the stor that's the title of the early 2000s for like the next part of his career. Because he did, oh hold on. Dallas Buyers Club in 2013 and it looks like the last shitty rom-com he did was where is it? Ghost of Girlfriends Pass in 2009. So it was like the early 2000s. It was just like it was just like him doing all of that uh shitty rom-com stuff.

SPEAKER_06 28:52

He was making that rom com money.

SPEAKER_03 28:55

He lives here in town, so I'll make sure to go uh follow him for a while and figure out his patterns, and then I'll figure out a way to intercept him and give him this award very forcefully. And uh that's great. I'll I'll make sure to make sure that I come off as non-threatening. I'll make sure he can see the whites the whole way around my pupil as I smile.

SPEAKER_06 29:16

Um there's a chance that there's a chance that he's a listener, so he might be a listener.

SPEAKER_02 29:24

There's a good chance he's a listener.

SPEAKER_03 29:26

That's true. Well, yeah, um, we should just make sure to find a good way to really congratulate him because this is a so far a very prestigious thing. He is entering as the only third inductee of the Hall of Mediocrity. So far, we have a uh inductee as the in the category of modern country artists as Florida Georgia line. Yes. Uh the best movie, or I'm sorry, most mediocre movie candy is gonna be milk duds. They're delicious, get stuck in your teeth, all that business. But then uh now our third uh and newest inductee. Congratulations to the film Matthew McConaughey of the early 2000s in every romantic comedy that he's ever done as our our newest inductee. His full resume speaks for itself, uh, and yet his uh romantic comedies say absolutely nothing. So thank you, Matthew McConaughey, for your work. Welcome.

SPEAKER_02 30:19

We're we're good, it sounds like we're putting together the most mediocre date. Like I feel like we need the most mediocre, we'll eventually get the most mediocre restaurant to eat at. Oh man.

SPEAKER_06 30:33

You know what? Ultimate mediocre date.

SPEAKER_03 30:35

We build this out. We build this out to the ultimate mediocre date, then all three of us take our ladies on this date and report back on how this is.

SPEAKER_02 30:47

We could fully build like the most mediocre day that you could have. Like, what's the most mediocre breakfast? The most mediocre.

SPEAKER_03 30:54

I think we're working our way towards that, whether we want it to uh be or not.

SPEAKER_02 30:59

Okay, well, speaking of uh mediocre stuff, we gotta go listen to a word from our sponsors, guys, who are definitely not mediocre. And also we'll be right back. Alright. Welcome back to V2 the Podcast, where we spent our whole break trying to figure out how to spell the word McConaughey.

SPEAKER_06 35:08

We did it, guys. We got it. We did it.

SPEAKER_02 35:13

Uh okay, we're gonna go. It's either gonna be me or Johnny. Johnny, you want one through three or four through six? How you feeling, man? I'll do uh four through six. Okay, I'll be one through three. That's a three, and I'm going to introduce I'm gonna introduce the most sacrilegious game that maybe that we've had so far. Oh uh a game that I'm calling the Bible told me so.

SPEAKER_06 35:39

Oh yeah, I'm in.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

Sorry. The the premise of this game is I'm gonna give I'm gonna read you guys three Bible verses from the King James version of the Bible. The catch is two of these are real Bible verses, and one of them is something that I wrote to sound like a King James version of a Bible verse. So I know you guys are both pretty religious. Um whoever's got the King James uh version memorized the most is probably gonna do pretty good here. Um so we're gonna have an A, B, and C.

SPEAKER_03 36:20

I actually have a James Earl Jones Bible. Do you think that'll mostly translate here? It mostly will.

SPEAKER_06 36:25

Yeah, mostly just with a deeper voice.

SPEAKER_02 36:27

Yeah, just a deeper voice. Um here we go, round one. A Proverbs 21 9. It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

SPEAKER_06 36:46

Uh we're supposed to pick one that's the right one.

SPEAKER_02 36:50

You one sorry, two of these are real and one of them is fake.

SPEAKER_06 36:54

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 36:55

Yeah, okay, only one fake one. So you're gonna be voting on which is the fake one. Uh B Ezekiel 2320. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

SPEAKER_03 37:13

Oh means semen. Yeah. Issue definitely means semen in that case.

SPEAKER_02 37:23

C Hosea 9 14. He that breaketh wind in the temple shall be put out from among the congregation and shall bring an offering of two turtle doves upon his return.

SPEAKER_03 37:36

Man, see, I feel like that's the one that draws you to it because, like, you know, gives me the idea of someone farting in a temple. Yeah. But it's also one that if that's a real Bible verse, it's it's so silly that that's why you'd pick it for the game. So that that's that's a good one. Uh I feel like I'm between either the first one or the third one, I think.

SPEAKER_06 37:57

Yeah, I my first thing. Did you made a reread of anything? I think that I felt like breaking wind feels like a like a f a euphemism that's more recent. But maybe that's that's where it first came from. Breaking wind. Huh.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

I'm I'm gonna lock in with three as the fake one myself. Okay. You're locking in with breaking wind? Breaking wind is gonna be my fake.

SPEAKER_06 38:23

Alright, give me uh read the first one again.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

The first one. Proverbs 21:9. It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house. See, I feel like that one's about Oklahoma.

SPEAKER_06 38:40

I'm gonna go with A.

SPEAKER_02 38:43

Oh, we do have a winner. One of you successfully picked the fake verse. Uh, I'll tell you what one of the real verses was Ezekiel 23 20, for she doted upon their paramours whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. That was real.

SPEAKER_03 39:00

I knew about that one because of the issue thing being about semen.

SPEAKER_02 39:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:05

I know all the Bible verses that are about semen. I that's weird.

SPEAKER_02 39:10

Hosea nine fourteen, he that breaketh wind in the temple shall be put out from among the congregation and shall bring an offering of two turtle doves upon his return is fake. Brent takes home the prize. Yeah for round one. Nice job, Brent. One point. Uh round two A Joel two seventeen Cursed be the man who teacheth his goat to stand upon the roof, for when it falleth the blood thereof shall be upon his hands. B Numbers twenty two twenty-eight. And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, and thou hast smitten me these three times?

SPEAKER_06 39:51

That's gotta be real. That's gotta be real.

SPEAKER_02 39:55

See Deuteronomy 23 1. He that is wounded in the stones or hath his privy member cut off shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

SPEAKER_06 40:06

No. Man, I this makes me want to read the Bible.

SPEAKER_03 40:09

What a great game this is, by the way. Should you give me that first one again?

SPEAKER_02 40:16

Here's A one more time. A Joel 217. Cursed be the man who teacheth his goat to stand upon the roof, for when it falleth the blood thereof shall be upon his hands.

SPEAKER_03 40:33

Johnny, you pick first this time. I picked first this time.

SPEAKER_06 40:38

I'm gonna I wanna go with number C, the third one.

SPEAKER_02 40:48

So he's locking in for he that is wounded in the stones. Or have his own.

SPEAKER_03 40:54

I don't want to change my answer. That's that's also what I was gonna pick, so I don't I don't know if we're gonna get a spread on this one. You can pick the one. I can pick the same one. Yeah, just yeah. I mean, I know that doesn't make the score spread, but yeah, like that that's what I was gonna pick. Should we should we write him down and hold it up, or should I be forced to I don't know. Uh we want to run the game. Nah. Okay, yeah, I I pick C as I that's the one I also think is fake.

SPEAKER_02 41:16

Okay, the one uh the one that both of you guys think is fake is Deuteronomy 23.1. He that is wounded in the stones or hath his privy member cut off shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord. Guys, that is in the Came King James Version of the Bible. Is it really? Oh man, it is Deuteronomy 23.1. You can look it up. Uh the one that was fake here is cursed be the man who teacheth his goat to stand upon the roof, for when it falleth, the blood thereof shall be upon his hands.

SPEAKER_03 41:49

That is like that's one of those ones that I actually like in my mind was like, Yeah, I think I've heard that before. And I'm but I'm sitting there going, the fuck does that even mean? Like, that doesn't mean anything. I get it.

SPEAKER_02 42:00

Like you that's the beauty of the King James Version, is you're like, wait, what did I just like I remember that being the one we had to read, and I was like, what did I just read?

SPEAKER_06 42:09

Do you ever feel like like you're right, Brent? I feel like you can feel the meaning, but you don't know why.

SPEAKER_03 42:16

You're like, you know, which is you know, not to say like maybe some people, not me, but some would say that that could be an indicator of how it was sort of written with uh control in mind, but you know, that's others would say so. You'd never say that though. No.

SPEAKER_02 42:32

Okay, score is uh Brent one, Johnny's zero right now. Let's go to round three. Yeah. Um which one of these is not in the King James Version of the Bible? Uh A. 1 Samuel 1827. David arose and went, he and his men, the and slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king that he might be the king's son-in-law.

SPEAKER_03 42:57

Like a key, like a like a necklace. They were just all they strung them up like a or do you think they put it around the Christmas tree?

SPEAKER_02 43:05

They gave them in full tale to the king that he might be the king's son-in-law. Huh. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 43:11

The king was a freak.

SPEAKER_02 43:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:14

That's what it sounds like to me.

SPEAKER_03 43:16

We're getting done with that army, and they were like, guys, guys, guys. You know what you know what he knows.

SPEAKER_02 43:21

You know the king would love. Uh I don't know about that, Brent. That seems really strange. That seems like a thing. That seems like a thing for you, honestly. The king's gonna love it. Uh okay, okay, uh B. Uh Proverbs 1122. As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

SPEAKER_01 43:48

Say it again.

SPEAKER_02 43:50

Proverbs eleven twenty-two. As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. Wow.

SPEAKER_06 43:59

That's harsh. That's harsh.

SPEAKER_02 44:01

That's pretty harsh. The Bible's not super kind to women.

SPEAKER_03 44:05

Uh it's been called misogynistic by some, not you. Others.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

Not you. We want to be clear that Brent is not the guy saying all this stuff. Uh C. Nahum 112. If thine ox falleth into a pit on the Sabbath, thou shalt leave it there until the morrow, lest the ox learn to fall upon the day of rest.

SPEAKER_06 44:30

Shouldn't it be the same for that goat that was on the roof? Man, if that goat falls on the Sabbath.

SPEAKER_03 44:38

I I've only locked into the same answer each time, but uh the others I can at least sort of like get some meaning out of. So like I'm gonna pick the I'm gonna pick the ox one just because that one, like, I mean, I know there's a lot of uh, shall we say, like less than scientific statements made in the Bible, but insisting that the the ox should like learn a lesson from it, that seems ridiculous even for the Bible. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 45:05

You know what? I feel like blaming the victim tracks. And I think that the second choice was misogynistic enough for the Bible. So I'm going with A.

SPEAKER_03 45:20

Alright, well, we've got a differing in answer then.

SPEAKER_02 45:23

Okay, alright, all right. So uh Did somebody get it? John Yes, one of you got it. Johnny said uh that the fake one was David arose and went, he and his men and a slew of Philistines. Uh, two hundred men, and David brought their foreskins and they gave them in full tale to the king that he might be the king's son-in-law. Uh that is uh the real uh 1 Samuel 1827. That is in the Bible. Oh the next of foreskins. Brent got the right one, the axe falling into a pit on the Sabbath. That is a silly thing that I made up.

SPEAKER_03 46:01

Man, but for real, according to the Bible, some dudes were like foreskins, round them up.

SPEAKER_02 46:07

They're like, guys, get all the foreskins.

SPEAKER_03 46:11

Who goes on foreskin duty? We're gonna put them into piles. These are the fresh ones, these are the ones that have already been.

SPEAKER_02 46:17

These are the good ones, okay? These are the ones that are gonna go in on the necklace for the king. These other ones, you guys can make your own necklaces, but these are not the good the good foreskins.

SPEAKER_06 46:27

The bad ones turn into beef jerky.

SPEAKER_02 46:30

Oh man. Yes. Oh, gross. Okay, that uh that makes it Brent 2. Johnny uh zero? Yeah. Johnny Zero. My streak, I'm keeping my streak alive. Keeping your streak alive. Uh okay. Okay, round round four. Round four. Uh A Judges 322. And the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly, and the dirt came out. B Amos four eight There's a lot to unpack with that one. B. Amos four eight. If two men quarrel beside a well, and one falleth in, he that remaineth shall pull him out, and both shall offer a lamb unto the priest. C Malachi two three. Behold, I will corrupt your seed and spread dung upon your feast faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts.

SPEAKER_06 47:38

So I feel like the first one the dirt that came out, that's gotta be also about feces. I'm going so B I think that a fair assumption is that if two men quarreled over the well and one of them ended up in the well, the other guy did it. So B. I'm going B.

SPEAKER_03 48:07

Man, I was I was gonna pick B.

SPEAKER_06 48:09

Well you can play.

SPEAKER_02 48:14

You gonna pick B?

SPEAKER_03 48:16

Yeah, I have to.

SPEAKER_02 48:17

Uh alright, guys. B was If two men quarrel beside a well and one falleth in, he that remaineth shall pull him out, and both shall offer a lamb unto the priest. Is made up. That is not in the King James Bible. You guys both get a point.

SPEAKER_03 48:33

Yes. Is there a book of the King James Bible called Amos?

SPEAKER_02 48:38

Uh I don't know. I might have made it up. That's even better.

SPEAKER_03 48:45

That was the thing that I was like, I don't know, maybe. Like I'm not gonna pretend I've got all of them memorized, but that one didn't stick out to me. Yeah. I think you're thinking of the cookie guy.

SPEAKER_02 48:56

He's famous. Alright, you guys uh you guys uh two to one. It's dope. Sorry, wait. Three to one. Three to one. Alright, let's do one more. This one's for all the marbles somehow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:11

This one is worth four points.

SPEAKER_02 49:14

This one is worth four points. Okay. Round five. A James two six. Cursed is he that planteth a fig tree and eateth not of its fruit, for he hath laboured for nothing, and the birds of the air shall feast in his stead. B Second Kings two twenty-three There came forth little children out of the city and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head, and there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tear forty and two children of them.

SPEAKER_03 49:49

That's a lot, yes.

SPEAKER_02 49:52

See Ecclesiastes ten nineteen A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry, but money answereth all things for four points. Uh seeing in money answereth all things. What do you think, Johnny?

SPEAKER_06 50:17

I think I wanna go.

SPEAKER_02 50:19

What was A again? Uh A was cursed is he that planteth a fig tree and eateth not of its fruit, for he hath labored for nothing, and the birds of the air shall feast in his stead.

SPEAKER_06 50:33

I can understand that one the most, so I'm gonna say that one.

unknown 50:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 50:41

Because you understand it the best. Alright, well, I will tell you guys that B uh is a real verse in the Bible. There came forth little children out of the city and mocked him and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head.

SPEAKER_03 50:53

Yeah, I actually uh I I I remember this one. This is uh like I think they're they're they're talking to Judas, aren't they?

SPEAKER_02 51:00

Uh I honestly don't remember. Oh I was kind of I was kind of picking these uh just out of context.

SPEAKER_06 51:08

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_02 51:09

But that is one of the real ones that is in the Bible, which means that we do have a winner uh with four points. And I'll tell you, a feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry, but money answereth all things. Uh the verse that Brent picked is in the Bible, which makes Johnny King.

SPEAKER_06 51:29

Yes. I'll take your charity. Wow. Score five to three, Johnny's the winner.

SPEAKER_03 51:34

How does he do it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:37

I'm back, baby.

SPEAKER_03 51:40

Dude, I also love that your logic for that was literally like, well, that one makes the most sense. So I'm that because the other that that strategy worked. How about that?

SPEAKER_02 51:51

It worked out for you, Johnny. Yeah. Uh speaking of working out for you, uh, it's uh one through six is gonna be Johnny King. This is the case. All right, come on. Come on. Sweet, sweet dice. Wait a minute, that's it.

SPEAKER_03 52:04

Oh, never mind. Nope, it's too late. It's already been rolled. I was gonna use a veto card for something, but uh nope, it's too late.

SPEAKER_02 52:11

Okay, all right. Well, you still got two veto cards, Brent. I think.

SPEAKER_03 52:14

Well, I know, but but never mind, I'll tell you later.

SPEAKER_06 52:17

All right. So, for my segment, I didn't get enough of it last time. We're going back to Devil's Advocate. So luckily for Brent, he's still got his veto cards. So, as a reminder, here's how it works. I'm gonna give each of you a controversial take. Um, something that normal people would usually not agree with. Your job is to defend it as convincingly as possible, and you have a minute or less to do that, to make us believers.

SPEAKER_01 52:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 52:52

Alright. So, we're gonna start with George.

SPEAKER_02 52:59

Fair. We started with Brent last time, I think.

SPEAKER_06 53:02

Yeah. So did I so your take my first topic last time was a layup. I mean, yeah, well, you made it so easy, I I thought I made it look like a layup. Yeah, you made you made me feel dumb for even thinking that was a controversial take. All right, so George, you are gonna defend that the middle seats on airplane are actually the best seats.

SPEAKER_02 53:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 53:31

You have one minute.

SPEAKER_02 53:32

Give me a second, give me a second.

SPEAKER_06 53:33

All right, let me know when you're ready. I'm ready. All right, you're on the clock.

SPEAKER_02 53:39

There are very few people in this great country who are premium travelers. First class travelers, good for you. Hey, fucking good for you. All right, but I'm not one, and you're probably not one either. It's very likely that you're back in business class with the rest of us, sorry, business class, economy class is what I'm trying to say, with the back of us, the rest of us schmoes. Now, I'll tell you, I love sitting by the window because you see plane take off, you see cloud go by, you see fly, you see plane make fly. It fun, good time, right? And also, I love sitting in the aisle because me, me need make pee-pee, right? Me sometimes need make pee-pee and sit in aisle make easy make pee-pee. All right. But I'll tell you who's got the best of both worlds, and that's the middle seat. The middle seat can see plane takeoff, go up in cloud, and also has one less person to get by when they have to go to the bathroom. The window seat, as entertaining as it is. If I have to go pee-pee, if I need go pee-pee, it's so hard go pee-pee. So hard go pee-pee from window seat, right? Beautiful plane takeoff, but it's mostly the same the whole time. I always want to look out the window when there's turbulence, but like, there's never anything out there. I'm never, I'm, it's never like, oh, there's the turbulence. Who cares? It's just the sky. Middle seat is where it's at.

SPEAKER_03 54:57

Sold. Do I need to be convinced myself or convinced that he makes a compelling argument for it? Because I'll give him the latter. Uh, I could have been sold if you would have added one more detail that uh that needs to be talked about more, quite frankly. When you have the middle seat, the biggest advantage of all is supposed to be that both of those damn armrests are yours. If you're in the the aisle seat, you get the outside one. If you're the window, you get the one by the window. But the middle ones, the middle guy gets both armrests, and you're a dick if you're trying to force arm out the middle guy's arm.

SPEAKER_06 55:29

Yeah. My favorite part of the about the middle seat is that that you get to strike up conversations with two people. And I love to talk to strangers on on the plane.

SPEAKER_01 55:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:41

That's I always just assume when I'm in the middle seat that I that I don't own anything. You know what I mean? Like when I there is there is I do believe in that advantage of like you got kind of got the best of both worlds, but like when I get in that middle seat, it's because I checked in late for a southwest flight. Yeah. Nowadays it's because you didn't pay the extra like$70 to select a seat. Like everybody's like, oh, you want to pick your seat?

SPEAKER_06 56:07

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 56:08

That was the case for me, but now after your argument, I think I'm gonna start actually picking the middle seat. Uh I'm gonna upgrade. Get that middle seat.

SPEAKER_06 56:17

Yeah, upgrade to the middle seat. Upgrade. I'd like an upgrade. Could I get on the upgrade list for a middle seat?

SPEAKER_02 56:24

Are there any middle seats left? The bet I will say the best. Hold on, hold on. I know my time's up, but the best part of getting the middle seat is keeping that extra$70 that everybody else picked, that everybody else spent picking their seat. You know what? I'm gonna take myself out to a nice dinner.

SPEAKER_06 56:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 56:42

That's a good point.

SPEAKER_06 56:44

I like it when went southwest when you could seat yourself. I just go sit in the middle seat even though there's nobody else on there. You know, you gotta get it. I got dibs. What a power move.

SPEAKER_02 56:55

You're eight you're like A7 and you sit in the middle seat in the back of the plane.

SPEAKER_03 57:00

Did you guys ever see that video? And I I feel almost like we talked about it on here before, but there was a guy that he knew the flight wasn't full, so he sat like second or third row right in the middle seat, and everybody that would get on the plane, he would just grin at them with his crazy face and like hat the seat beside him, like trying to get them all to sit down, and so every single person passed him, he got a whole row to himself. That's the way it's pretty uh pretty smart move. It's pretty good. All right, y'all. Although you're really sort of doubling down because if you get a crazy that actually is like, oh hell yeah, thanks, buddy, then you just landed yourself in a not ideal situation, most likely.

SPEAKER_02 57:33

Yeah. I call these friends my single-serving friends, get it.

SPEAKER_06 57:37

You're gonna hear some more, some new conspiracy theories that you have never heard of from that guy. All right, George. You ready? Oh, I gotta do another one. Wait, sorry, Brent. You guys are you guys look so much alike. All right, Brent. You are to defend that reality TV is the purest form of entertainment.

SPEAKER_03 58:07

Oh man. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 58:12

Tell me when you're ready and I'll start the clock.

SPEAKER_03 58:14

Oh, dude. Okay, all right. Um go for it.

SPEAKER_06 58:18

All right, you're on the clock.

SPEAKER_03 58:22

Okay. Everybody knows throughout the dawn, uh since the dawn of of film and television, we've all had easy access to narratives and things like that. But the problem is that it creates an overly idealistic world for people to hold these false, you know, ideas about what their life's gonna turn into. I mean, whenever I was younger, you know, as does every you expect everyone's gonna have their meet cute moment where you meet someone that's the most beautiful woman on earth that is exactly your type and have everything in common with, you know, but like the fact of the matter is that life just doesn't exactly work out the way that you'd planned for it to. If you want to get a real scope on life, then you need the things that you don't see coming. And I'll say, you know, damn it, I don't have to argue for the quality of of reality TV. It's garbage. But the reason it's garbage is because it speaks to the truth of who we are as human beings. We know that whenever we're watching these people blow up on each other in public and act like that that's a civilized thing to do. We're not, you know, they don't put them on there because it's the best of us. It's because it's the worst of it. It's the one true lens that we have into what actually makes humankind the unique, beautiful, ugly, horrific, amazing creature that we are. Reality TV is the only place that you get a look under that hood.

SPEAKER_04 59:37

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 59:38

Slow clap for that. You got it. You got it. You answered the question. Uh it that it's not the best form of entertainment, it's just the purest form of entertainment. Purest. Nice. I'm I I must I'm I'm sold.

SPEAKER_02 59:53

We're gonna we're gonna change this to veto the podcast, the reality show.

SPEAKER_06 59:59

For the purest form of entertainment.

unknown 1:00:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:03

All right, George, you ready for another one?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:06

I'm not, but uh yeah, I feel I feel like last time I had one good one in me, and so did Brent, and then I kind of petered out. So I'm ready. All right, you ready? Give it to me.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:18

All right, so for those of you at home who celebrate, this month uh marks six years since the start of the pandemic.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:27

Oh god.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:28

So you are to defend that the pandemic was a great time.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:36

Veto.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:39

I'll take it then. You're gonna take it. Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:43

Wait, does that mean I have to do the next one no matter what?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:46

Uh yeah, because you used both veto cards, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:49

Fuck.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:50

Uh you're you're getting epsy.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:51

Vito card was made for this fucking game. All right.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:56

All right, Brett.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:57

No, I can still okay with this one. Um, yeah, so here's my argument for this. Uh okay, so obviously this argument is certainly in no way meant to undermine the seriousness and the terrible things and like all the loved ones that a lot of people lost. I mean, that's awful, and we can't get around that point. But if we want to take it to a much more microcosm sense of it, for you know, people out there that were, you know, in a good relationship, like a, you know, a marriage or anything like that, it was a truly unique point in history that, you know, I mean, in and in tr in all of history, not just our lives, but in all of history where there was a time that, like, you know, I think our government certainly botched plenty of the things that were going on with it. But I know that for not being able to work, there was at least enough assistance that I was able to get a fraction of what I was earning while I was doing my job. But it was enough that I didn't have to worry about, you know, not being able to feed ourselves. We were stressed out about many things, but the time that we got to be able to spend with each other for that long of a period of time and just kind of be confined with no responsibilities, truly unique thing that I'll never get to experience again in my lifetime. And while I don't long for the terrible things that came out of that, I'll always miss that little microcosm sense of it.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:10

Yeah. I don't know. I appreciate that you love your wife, but she's a terrible time. All right, Johnny, hit me with it. I'll do I'll do whatever. I'll do whatever now. I realize I fucked myself.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:30

All right. George, you are to defend that steak is best when it's cooked well done.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:42

Shit. This is harder than the COVID one.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:47

Um I think that uh those of you that might not know George on as much of a personal level would need to know his affinity for food and more uh uh importantly, the correct cooked level of said food. You know, yeah. So uh I'm looking forward to hearing this forced case that he can't not defend.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:08

I had it in my pocket if you if he vetoed.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:11

Yeah, I did veto. Okay. Um all right, one minute on the clock. Here we go. Steak is great, right? It's an em it's your American birthright to eat a steak. And a lot of people uh a lot of people can eat a steak rare, medium rare. We've all seen TV shows and movies that have that have idolized these ways of eating a steak, where we see a juicy red or pink center. Sounds appetizing, right? Wrong, because that's wrong. Because the juicy pink center is where the devil lives, okay? If there's anything that I've learned from the King James Version of the Bible, it is that lust is a sin, and what I feel biting into the moist, juicy center of a steak can only be described as the road to hell. So all of you who are enjoying a moist, seemingly perfectly cooked steak, I'll see you or I won't see you in hell because I am going to be in heaven.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:29

With the largest bottle of ketchup. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:33

All right, your time's off.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:38

Did I do it?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:39

That you did it. You definitely did it. You got through it. You brought that one home.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:44

The plane has been landed.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:47

You know who you could ask to get a real opinion on this that really knows a lot about the right, the reason why a well-done steak is the best is our president Donald Trump. Uh well-done steak and ketchup is what I hear.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:00

When you have so much money, you can just you can get your steak. However you want, and that's how all the way. I can't afford to have my steak cooked all the way.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:10

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:11

I love I like what it's called steak toast. It's where I make toast out of a steak. None of this making toast. Making toast out of bread is for for pores.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:22

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:22

See, I like to every once in a while do finger stakes at my house where I'll invite people over for a steak, and I uh don't have any silverware in the house, and it's it's kind of funny.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:31

Finger stakes. Uh, I got one for you, Johnny.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:36

All right.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:38

Uh because Brent threw it back on you last time. I want you to defend the take that Texas would be better off as its own country and should secede from the U.S.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:50

So Texas should be its own country. All right, I'll take this one.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:57

So one minute on the clock.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:59

Texas Texas is technically a state, but if you meet people from Texas, they don't see it that way. For true Texans, we've always feel like it's our own country. And that the United States are just something that is lucky to have us as neighbors. And Texas is the the biggest, it's not as big as Alaska, but it's got its own uh we've got the Alamo, we've got our capital is the only capital that's taller than the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. And that's because we see ourselves as bigger and better than the United States. United States is lucky enough that they can claim us, but Texas stands on its own. Come and take it, bitches.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:02

It's time. The argument for Texas should be its own country is America.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:12

So I'm gonna I know George has a thing he's getting on to. I have two veto cards left. I'm gonna use both of those veto cards to cancel your next engagement and uh have you come over here and play nerdy games with me.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:24

Nerdy games?

SPEAKER_06 1:07:25

Nerdy games, is that what y'all are calling it now?

SPEAKER_02 1:07:28

Yeah, Johnny.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:29

Come sit on your Funko's lap and play nerdy games.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:32

Come play some nerdy games with your Funko. It's romantic, first of all. It's romantic and it's consensual. Okay? And the most important thing about the country of Texas is consent.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:45

We put the no.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:48

We put the That's all our time today, guys.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:55

A roupa dela é nenhum.
